The differences between the linux kernel and a microkernel (such as for instance QnX but there are plenty of others) is that everything is a process, and everything but that tiny kernel runs in userland.

It's the difference between 'potatoes' and 'mashed potatoes' ;)
Ask HN: I'm a Developer, I make good money, Where do I put it?
I'm a young developer in mid 20's and make decent money. I am no economic or market wiz and don't have any outstanding loans or credit owed. I have a nice liquid backup that I'm comfortable with. Now where should I be putting my money?!

More info: I contribute max to my company's 401k to maximize my matching, the startup I was a part of was bought by aforementioned company so I get payouts quarterly, and my investment strategies so far have been centralized around the stock market, mostly in index funds.

Advice appreciated!

Edit: My main goal is to have generalized advice, so it doesn't just pertain to me, but to a wider audience, especially young developers who have excess income each month and want to be smart about preserving and growing their net worth intelligently.
He can say it as much as he wants, I'm just explaining that it's a bad analogy if he wants to attract the sympathies of developers, because software patents are something that many developers, even those who aren't Richard Stallman types, really dislike.
Firebug. It takes a lot of space. I work on 17" 5 year old Macbook Pro and could not imagine working on an 11" screen. Also ShiftIt and Alfred are probaly the most useful productivity apps I have used.

No Scala or Rust? Especially Rust seems like it fits the author's wishlist.
I'm using 3 monitors on my Mac Pro and feel slightly less productive when I move to my Air. With the three monitors I have one full screen terminal session running tmux, one monitor split between a web browser and a http monitor (charles) and the last one seems to get used for either spotify, email, another web browser session or something else.

Mainly I think the ability to see multiple different things interacting at the same time can be quite useful. If the entire point of having one screen is just so that you can't see your twitter client then maybe closing the twitter client and using that space for a useful tool would make you even more productive than just hiding the twitter client alone?
New Stack Exchange Proposal: Information Retrieval and Search Engines Q&A
I figure I'll ask potential employees of mine if they've ever given their password out instead. If they say yes, I'll say "...why?"

The answer might be much more illuminating than anything an employer would ever learn from looking at the Facebook account itself.
Can't be helped what you're reminded of, but recognize the differences here. Your chess strategy is a short-run winner but a long-run loser, while Jacques' business strategy is the opposite--a short-run loser but a long-run winner.

As I see it, "Getting to no" is achieved one of two ways.

1) you can connect them with the right fit. In this case you are forgoing the immediate sale, but even though you aren't the right fit for that person, at least you are good at something (connecting) and maybe will make a better sale from a referral, or even from them in the future should their business change.

2) you can try to price them out (raise your price). If they don't take it, then you don't risk your reputation by ruining their business with a bad-fitting product. If they do take it, the lost future sale(s) mentioned in #1 is compensated by the higher price.
If you take another look at the figure, the highest correlating factor isn't whether the "gadget" (by which they mean consumer technology, not any specific device) is for "consumption of entertainment" or "communication or production of media", as the text of the article suggests. It's simply how complicated the technology is--dare I say, how innovative the technology is--and the reason is simple: the more innovative the technology, the longer it took from first being "on the market" to becoming mature enough to be widely adopted.

(How does one count length of time "on the market", anyway? What counts as the first cell phone "on the market"?)

So what this is really saying is: the more advanced the technology, the longer it takes for the technology to go from early-adopter to mass market.
You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide.

Object-orientation and inheritance in JavaScript: a comprehensive explanation
Ahhh, He started talking about needing concurrency to be able to make use of multicode CPUs, and his solution is C++ ??? The number of cores is multiplying with Moore's Law. It doesn't take many multiplications before a language able to easily make use of those multicores efficiently will blow past C++ in performance.
What I Learned About Entrepreneurship From Y Combinator's Paul Graham
I am talking about on-disk cache, not in-memory cache.

Being memory constrained means I do not have a large filesystem cache and cannot afford to have it smashed by lots of cache reads/writes.

It also means the odds that a cached (on disk) resource is actually in RAM is low, so a cache hit involves multiple disk seeks which very quickly adds up to more latency than fetching over the network - especially when you consider that I have one disk which cannot run multiple seeks in parallel, whereas the network round trips can overlap.

Performance on modern computers very often boils down to avoiding disk seeks.
How do you decide what index funds to put money into?

edit: Furthermore, how did you come to the decision to put money into index funds instead of something else?
No. Facebook is too large for that sort of practice to not leak out. Just like Google isn't going to go through your gmail or search history. I know that Google locks down user data very tightly (there are internal processes you have to go through just to get to any sort of production data); in the same vein I'm sure Facebook's hiring managers do not have access to accounts or data marked private.
Nice to see Shaw, Zed A. 'Learn Python the Hard Way' in the recommended textbooks :)
I have one of those fancy networks that can open multiple TCP/IP connections in parallel, whereas my Firefox disk cache lives on one of those crappy old spinning disks which can only do one seek at a time. :-)
But if you are saying only a few people can see it, then you shouldn't be offended if someone makes a copy available to world.

The Greg KH link is very stale. All that stuff got merged. And you're interpreting it wrong anyway. Android introduced some new driver APIs, they didn't completely change the kernel. Check the .config file on an actual device and count the number of drivers that are absolutely identical to desktop linux.

And how exactly does having a microkernel fix the problem of having a stable driver API? Drivers must be written to some framework. Windows NT derivatives are microkernels too, and they're on, I believe, their third incompatible driver architecture.

And did you actually read that second link? It's drawing a single "kernel environment" with all the standard kernel junk in it. That is not a microkernel.

Sigh. I probably shouldn't have gotten involved.
Go is a strong candidate because of its concurrency model.
IMHO there are good reasons why design is largely work-for-hire.

I am not a designer, but I feel I need to stand in for the designers of this world here. Good design is not about the aesthetics at all, it is about the way the product feels. User Interface design is a big part of it as well. There are very subtle issues here, that you don't even notice unless you are professionally trained to do so.

People here often complain about these Business guys, who think they have a great idea and are looking for a code monkey to code it up. Please, don't be the programmer version of that guy.

I'd suggest that every programmer, who hires or works with a designer should at least know a little bit about design. This is for the same reason every business guy should at least know a little bit about technology. For one, so that you know how to hire a designer, who can do more than just beautiful mockups.

I raised the question of whether the design itself (in concept) is substantive. [My] opinion is largely "no".

What is your opinion about iPhone ripoffs from China then?
One great example I have seen are websites that prompt you to sign up only after you have already engaged with the site e.g. on some sites, you can initiate an action but to complete it, you need to create an account. This has the double benefit of enabling users to try out the functionality of the site without the commitment of signing up and also harnesses the momentum of the users engagement to get them over the hump of completing the sign up process.

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 has been stretched such that federal prosecutors have won convictions based on the theory that violating a website’s ‘terms of service’ is a crime under this law. However, eventually it was deemed that this may be too broad a standard, but no clear decision has been made.

Similar stuff could be said to Henry Ford about cars back in the early 1900s ("What? You want us to zip around town with a vehicle full of GASOLINE? Yeah right...").

This is a truly revolutionary idea, one that has so many different positive side-effects (reduce traffic congestion, reduce pollution, faster deliveries, cheaper mailing costs, etc). It needs to be pushed forward by visionaries, folks who really believe in it.

Yes, they'll have to be a little crazy. Yes, they'll likely have to deal with setbacks.

But if they persist and succeed, their name just might one day be written in history books.
(the inclusion of Ada and the dismissal of go as "not having objects" makes me question the author's wisdom)

C++ is likely to be the language of the future, as it is getting to the point where you can pick a subset of the language and emulate your favorite other programming language and paradigms.

This is not a good thing.
I find Xcode cramped on anything less than my 27". I find full screen on that is okay, unless you want to work on iPad UIs..

I've tried using both a 21.5" (1920x1080) and a 13" (1280x800) and Xcode is definitely best used on the 27" (2560x1440).

I do definitely fill my spare monitors up with distractions though :-)

No, you miss the point. I understand very well what a microkernel is. I'm asking you what the conceptual difference is between running a bunch of "macrokernel" systems inside a hypervisor and running a single microkernel with a bunch of processes. There is none: they are the same technology. The difference is in the label you stick on it. Which is a very poor thing to start an argument about.

(edit: I should clarify "same technology" to mean "same use of address space separation". Microkernels don't need to use virtualization technology like VT-d instructions because their separated modules don't need to think they're running on unadulterated hardware.)

Couldn't tell you what it does exactly, but I remember him thinking it was weird he did it in Python
Because they don't need write access. It's a basic principle of security to only give people the access they need -- it keeps them honest, and protects you if they're dishonest or incompetent (or both).

What they should get is actually a snapshot, attested to by Facebook, of the configuration of the facebook account (data export/data dump) from a time chosen before you applied for the clearance, assuming Facebook could reconstruct that. That way I can't remove my anarchist/communist party friends; they could ask for a snapshot randomly selected in a 0-7 or 0-10 year interval beforehand.

I actually trust Facebook security (and my personal password management and computing environment) to be secure against accidental disclosure MORE than I trust OPM or the OPM contractors who do clearance investigations, and certainly more than the shitty credit check plus type investigators most private firms, state/local agencies use. So, giving long-lived access to my facebook profile (or password) would be a bigger cost than just giving them the data. (There have been several cases of laptops without full disk encryption going missing...) Incidentally, it might be interesting to note that most security clearance investigations are actually processed almost entirely by contractors working for the government, not by GS employees, since sometime in the 1990s.

I still don't believe in asking for or giving out FB profile info (beyond "make sure your public facebook profile is professional", for a public-facing role; that seems pretty reasonable to me, although what you have in your friends-locked area is up to you), but if you're going to do it, do it right.

Recently on a flight I sat next to a Ph.D. that ran a chip design consulting firm. In this fascinating discussion, he talked about the internal design of AMD and Intel processors and said exactly this. AMD and Intel haven't had hardware based x86 computation for a very long time.

Instead, they have a RISC style pipeline with an op-code translation layer that decodes instructions into smaller RISC-like instructions that get run through the pipeline.

So really, modern x86 processors are more like x86-compatible processors.

MatchFWD Adding To Crop of Social Recruiting Startups
It's certainly great that Facebook is taking a stand for privacy. But this is clearly more of a PR move than anything else. I mean, will Facebook really sue someone for demanding an applicant's password during an interview?
Why was it announced if it isn't ready yet? Reminds me of the way lifepath.me was treated. Not sure what the pre-announcing accomplishes if your goal is to ship things people can use.
And they count on being able to use your phone to confirm identity. Someone could hack your bank and phone at the same time so when you get a call about the suspicious transaction, it really goes to the hacker who says "yep, that was me".
So, before you rush off to dismiss C++, note a very important thing:

With reference-counted smart pointers, you can guarantee that objects immediately go away once they leave scope, and that you can pass them around between threads without worrying too much about a thread forgetting to delete them. No other language has such easy support for doing something like that without relying on a background memory-management mechanism (at least that I'm aware of--I'd like to hear about it if you know one!).
Total/marginal productivity is the key metric, not productivity per square inch (although it is an interesting concept). The marginal cost of screen real estate is pretty cheap - but if the marginal productivity is negative then it's not worth it.

Mint is pretty solidly B2C. B2C companies generally shoot for 3 orders of magnitude (if not more) users than B2B. I agree if revenue is mainly due to leadgen (say, a mortgage market), a B2C product ends up looking more like a B2B product (once leads are qualified) in terms of ARPU and sales strategy, but Mint was in the shallow end of that pool.

Also, Mint never IPO'd; they sold to Intuit (the "old" competitor in their field, with Quicken) for about $200mm. Nice money, but it was argued by a lot of people that they could have hit $1-2b in an IPO. We'll never know.
On the opposite side of things, I agree with the OP.

I find more monitors leads to distractions. I have three monitors in front of me while at work, yet I have them all turned off only using my laptops monitor.

I find its best to stay focused that way.
Mint was acquired by Intuit, they did not IPO:

You can only speak about yourself, you do not know what goes behind the scenes. Firewall, like the investment banks have? Don't take personally, enjoy your paycheck and stock grants, you work for a corporation that answers to Wall Street. Listen to the earnings call once and analyze what the ad people say about "innovation."

But Google has the long-term view: if we can keep satisfying our users' needs, the revenue will follow.

Personally I no longer buy that. The revenue is now #1 and now Google is spending like crazy to keep the users. It started last year full speed
Is there any way for a developer to make a new UI for it? That seems like it would be the perfect answer. Make a UI for kids, a UI for the elderly, a UI for people with visual disabilities (high contrast and audio announcements when you drag over each button). Can I use siri with it? i.e. can you launch siri from inside kyte and then have the call use the kyte UI?
Broadband adoption map 12/08-12/10, by tract
Hiya,
We rolled out this tract-level map of broadband adoption for the most recent data available.
The definition of broadband that the FCC actually releases the data at is amazingly antiquated (768Kbps/download; 200Kbps/upload) --but it's the best public data set we've got for tracts. We also ran a Monte Carlo simulation to get city-level adoption rates too: http://investigativereportingworkshop.org/investigations/broadband-adoption/htmlmulti/broadband-subscribership-100-largest-us-metro-area/

WoW! I did not know that. Thank you for that fact. But how do the men function in tribes where women walk around bare chested? It's a wonder more men don't drown on topless and nude beaches!

Or maybe you are attributing social conditioning to biology as an excuse for shitty behavior? And you have no actual evidence but you just badly want it to be true?
This looks like an excellent implementation of a great idea. It's actually somewhat similar to what we do at Famigo (see http://www.famigo.com/sandbox/), though we're much more about content management and recommendations than GPS and telephony features.

With respect to the location feature, AT&T actually offers a somewhat similar service called AT&T Family Map for a monthly fee of $10-15. I believe that's a white-labeled version of an existing app (it might be Life360, not sure) with some integration into their back office APIs. I really encourage the Kyte folks to do some investigation here; other carriers might be looking to solve similar problems with respect to family location. That is, after all, the carriers' most lucrative market segment.
Hmm you're right, I mis-remembered and hers is correct. According to Wikipedia there are some non-11 digit numbers: "almost all geographic numbers and most non-geographic numbers have 9 or 10 national (significant) numbers after the "0" trunk code". An example being:

Who is actually asking for FB passwords? I doubt anyone actually is, and if they are it's part of a scam involving the promise of employment to desperate people.
My limited reading and research into stock market investing. I liked the sound of low cost management as opposed to mutual funds, as well as history has shown index funds to do fairly well. I have chosen funds based on companies I respect that are larger percentages that the index fund allocates to, such as S&P 500.
I agree with you. My point was that a reverse proxy that does not speak SPDY on the outside would suffer from head of line blocking.
I actually expected them to do this, because it would've been to their detriment if they didn't. If asking for the employees password became a "thing", people would've started quitting Facebook, or at the very least try to make fake accounts for their employers. But even so, it's still nice to see them actually doing it.
So, I have a stable of old android phones I will try this on. Quick q -- my gnexus claims it is not compatible with kytephone. Why is that?
