The second one isn't artistically good, but I think as an ad it is quite good.

It's funny, and it makes me want to see what the game's like. I haven't clicked an ad (intentionally) in about 4 years. I might have clicked that one.
Your experience mirrors my own exactly. In fact the only point I agreed with the author was on the project file.

As you stated the latest build has been rock solid and I've honestly never had an issue with the simulator (at least in terms of connecting/running, it not noticing new resource files is another story).

The point about iOS 4/5 is very puzzling to me, pick a minimum version and program for it.
This works in theory. Once you start getting into complex projects, it quickly breaks down. Merge tools don't properly understand that, even though the closing tag (e.g. "};" in a project file or an XML node in a storyboard file) is the same, it doesn't mean that the contents are the same. You quickly end up with a corrupted file because it leaves off the closing tag on one of the two.
Sounds pretty cool, I think. After all, the only reason I have a PC is for gaming, for all the rest (including work) all I use is a SAP log-on pad and office. AFAIK all that can be run either on a tablet or in the cloud. So yes, smartphone, tablet and desktop OSs can merge (or how ever you gonna call that).

Whats gonna happen to Linux / Unix in that scenario is another question.

Regarding the Razr / Webtop 3.0, hell that looks cool!
Was there a culture at Yahoo that indicates that it would do the unusual: fire middle managers before firing the rank-and-file engineers?
I've always wanted to build a lego sorter/filter that is basically a box with various sieve levels inside, where you pour the unsorted pieces in the top, they cascade through the sieves, and out the bottom/along the sides come pieces, sorted by shape/size. The mathematics of this fascinates me, and I think it could be done .. but where to start with the math? Anyone know of anything like this .. ?

Even if a per-extension memory limit was possible, good luck choosing the actual limit and then surviving the storm of "WTF did Firefox kill my extension?" complaints.
Besides the novelty factor (which others have mentioned), his 'paint' version is also much simpler, and therefor much easier to understand at a quick glance.

- Large text
- Not very much text
- A single image
- A single visual flow (top to bottom)
- A concise color palette (greens and black)

Compare to the 'standard' ad, where:

- Text is too small
- Too much text
- Too many images competing for attention
- Muddled visual flow
Yahoo to lay off 2,000 workers to 'reshape' company future
I wonder how hard would it be to get a working DCPU-16 backend for GCC or Clang.
The managers always survived layoffs; the engineers, not so much. Has that changed now? probably current Yahoos can tell, but I imagine there a bit busy right now to post on HN.
I am not a specialist on that stuff, but I note the "will". If they have launched and noticed actual improvements, I'll be interested.
There is no debate, especially on the finger front, sorry.

I had an iPad and iPhone for 3 years.

Switched to a Note and here's what over found so far:

- I still use my finger just as much as an iPhone.

- the larger screen has become a non negotiable. I warn you that I didn't have this opinion before I bought it let alone arm chairing it.

- the stylus is practical and becoming indispensable. Not for the reason that it looks like from a distance.

- the stylus is actually a Wacom stylus. if you haven't, try one out

- my main use case for the stylus is writing notes. I no longer carry a notebook. Everything is it's own digital notebook. After writing notes I can pdf and email them instantly. This is something I enjoyed on my iPad a lot with a stylus.

- if the Note ran iOS it world be perfection for me.

Side notes:

-fits my front Jean pockets just fine. Tested it with over 50 people who seized it to inspect.

- this phone isn't for everyone. If you like using a headset or headphones, this phone is fine. I use Sony mw600. The phone is absolutely drive to hold to my head. The size is just big enough.

- I do wonder why an s2 maybe just didn't get a Attila but I appreciate the bigger size

- it's marginally heavier than an iPhone

- I might have missed it but I don't know how you can talk about something without trying it yourself. I have a tiny blog about two hardcore iPhone users trying out the Galaxy note at http://www.galaxynotehq.com . We cover the great, bad and ugly.

- lastly don't forget iOS is a spitting image of PalmOS from the 90's, which was the original touchphone and iPhone and let you use a stylus too. Sorry for being so old school, I've used the form factor for almost 16 years now.

- the note is truly my communication and consumption device. This post was written on the note. I have blocked all news, Reddit and)+ on my laptop and only use it here, nice productivity boost.
actually, facebook changes the "like" text for shared news (I forgot what it depends on, maybe the url not being a fb one) to something like "recommend".

I remember being really surprised until I was pointed out that you don't want to "like" some of the news.

> I was referring to a 'standard' program

Though you probably didn't mean "standard" literally, writing C programs that have no access to the standard library is explicitly mentioned in the standard, which calls this a "freestanding implementation."

> Also note that Go can do all the things you mention, including writing a kernel.

You can't write memory management code in a language that provides automatic memory management. You just can't. And while I can believe that people who like Go are experimenting with using Go for most of an OS kernel (with a C kernel underneath it to handle things like memory management and probably interrupts), it's not the same as C where the whole kernel can be in C with the exception of highly hardware-specific code (booting, context switching code, syscall gates, etc). Aside from that, I don't think the performance of GC will ever be acceptable for a high-performance kernel.

> Just to be clear, the real issue with C is not the language so much as the horrible libraries that have been built over decades of clumsily piling up complexity.

Wait, now C is bad because some people wrote some bad libraries for it? Then don't use those libraries? No one's forcing you to use glib.
XCode 4.3.1 crash on my mac every day, that will drive me crazy. At that time ,I always remember the Xcode 3 era with nostalgia.
just took a brief look at it. doesn't seem to support arbitrary bit-fields e.g. how would extract next 13 bits from a binary stream ?
Even better, it looks like it was retroactive (I just got a notice the my free space has increased)
In an age when most computers come with 4+ GB of RAM, I think people focus too much on memory. Of course there are older computers, but their OS should be using comparably less RAM. WinXP takes up 100 MB at login, so if you only have 1 GB on an older computer, you should still have no problem running modern Firefox. And if you only have 512 MB, it's probably time to upgrade since the web experience that a modern browser can offer you will be crippled by your old hardware.

A few months ago I had a conversation with somebody who complained that Firefox used too much memory (about 600 MB). I asked how much he had. He said 3 GB. That seemed more than enough to me, after all Gnome consumes 200-500 MB at login, depending on whether you're using 32 or 64 bit and which shell you're running (Gnome 2, Gnome Shell, Unity, etc). Turns out, Win7 was eating 2 GB at login, leaving him with only a gigabyte for other programs.

In my view, the operating system is just a platform to launch other stuff. It shouldn't use more than 25% of your memory. If it does, you should either get more RAM or slim down your OS. If his computer obeyed my rubric, he'd have plenty of room for Firefox. His anger was obviously directed at the wrong problem, but for some reason the OS (and all the crapware which loads at boot and runs in the background, even when it's not needed, consuming precious resources) gets a pass.

The situation I described (have a house, car, smartphones, cable TV, etc.) could hardly be described as poor IMHO. And compared to the truly poor (either around the world or in our country in previous centuries) I'd argue they do indeed qualify as rich.

And sure, CEO wages are ridiculously high. But the government has generally shown that it's inept at managing things like that. Is the solution to force the wages lower? Hardly. It's to allow companies like that to fail (rather than propping them up with stimulus) so that management is actually both vulnerable and accountable.
Or you could get a real job and earn some money, so that you could just pay for storage with money rather than with tedious recommendation work.

You just get double the space per referral, but you can not exceed the 18GB limit. That means you can get to 18GB faster, with fewer referrals.

But I don't know if it works retroactively for refs you already have.

Ad-blindness is another factor.

At first glance, his simple ad looks like part of the content, the fancy ad just looks like an ad and is filtered out subconsciously.

Definitely a factor to take into account when you're targeting gamers I'd think.
Then there's probably an AbstractCPUBuilderFactory to go along with it.
Taking FaceBook and Google+, and making them race
I've been tempted to learn Verilog, looks like I might have a fun project to start here, trying to pipeline this. If I were writing the instruction set I'd be tempted to put all the value codes for next word or PC next to each other so it would be easier to figure out at decode state if the PC would be doing anything wonky, but that isn't a huge impediment or anything. The instruction boundary problem with regards to going super scalar looks as bad as it is in x86, but that's straying pretty far from the design goals.
Complex Event Processing Engine for PHP 5.4 Released
The novelness lies in the lack of polish. People who work in advertising like ads, and well-polished ads are more pleasing to their eyes.

To the rest of us, advertisements are used as something we don't want to see, but are willing to see, in order to see something we DO want to see. Many of us can pick out the disparity between the polished, targeted ads and the less-focused content it intersperses.
Changing the URL is not an option. We're into business since 1999 with this URL: cabanova.com. There must be another solution.
He could just interprete code on clients :)

You have N players == N computers to simulate. Assign randomly 5 computers to each player to emulate. Choose the result that majority of clients return and optionally punish cheaters.

EDIT: apparently simulation will go on even when players log out, so each connected client may need to simulate 100 in-game computers to account for that. Still less resource intensive than running everything on the server. But Notch thought about that much longer and surely have great reasons for his architecture.
The "test everything" mantra sounds good, but in practice, you generally have only so much data you can afford (in impressions per day, or whatever), and when your CTRs are often 0.1% or lower, you need quite a lot of data to get narrow confidence intervals around your CTRs. Using the basic binomial model, if you have two test conditions, one of which actually does 20-25% better than the other, (say, 0.11% versus 0.09%), your confidence intervals will keep overlapping until you have OOM 1M impressions. This is all just to say that running a whole lot of tests can quickly become expensive an impractical.

While testing some radical, weird treatments can give you valuable perspective, or shed light on the assumptions you've been making, testing every idea is rarely feasible. I would not, for instance, guess that that the author should test different versions of the second ad with colors or number of exclamation points changed.
That's definitely been my experience as well, albeit at smaller outfits.
the layoffs were probably factored in already...and they were probably expecting a higher number...so if the number falls below street expectation the stock price goes up
I like this Larry Wall quote:

"By policy, LISP has never really catered to mere mortals. And, of course, mere mortals have never really forgiven LISP for not catering to them."

I say this as someone who's prototyped several things in Scheme before porting this to other languages.
"Is this made by that guy from the linux action show who hates freedom? I saw the episode where they abuse poor old RMS and found it shocking."

Yes it is.

I also found the interview quite shocking and they probably did nothing to prepare for it which is probably why it ended up that way.

Lower costs mean higher profits. Lower # of employees gives them greater flexibility, they can hire contractors where they need them and eliminate positions where they don't.

Here at Cabanova we take abuse complaints very seriously and take down any phishing / spam sites, our users make. It's the same as banning gmail.com if some user sent a SPAM mail.

It's a shame that Facebook takes so long to answer or give feedback to it's support requests. I know there are probably many support requests but this is unacceptable behavior.
about:memory is intended to be a tool for developers and highly technical users. But we're getting close to the point where per-tab memory reporting will be feasible, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687724, which is currently blocked on some other infrastructure changes.

Once that's in place, we can slap a friendlier UI on top, something more like the about:nosy add-on (http://www.visophyte.org/blog/2012/02/04/aboutnosy-is-aboutm...).

If you're seeing memory for tabs you closed a long time ago, we'd love to hear about it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Zombie_Compartments#Reactiv... has documentation on how to check for these cases.

As for measuring memory consumption of extensions, you're about the 1000th person to suggest it :/ New-style ("JetPack") extensions have some tracking, but old-style ("XUL overlay") extensions are really hard to measure, unfortunately.

If a critical extension is using too much memory, one option that might be suitable is to create a separate profile. E.g. Firebug leaks a lot (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669730) and some people only need to run it occasionally. Depends on how often you use the extension, of course.
Oh wow, that was tiny and hidden. Thanks for finding that. It should really be next to the pound symbol at the top.

I'll never forget Steve-o in the iPhone announcement keynote saying, "Maybe we'll use a stylus. Stylus?! Yecch! No!" I mostly agree.

There are a few apps I use that benefit from styluses, such as Penultimate (and probably Paper, if I could get over their obscene pricing scheme) but the capacitive stylus I have is really lame and I hate using my finger as a pen.

You need to be building things to learn anyway, so github fits that perfectly. There's such a low barrier to entry with getting started and putting up a project or two, and then adding more as time goes on. The key is getting the first project up there, and realizing that it doesn't need to be 'perfect'. The other big advantage of having a github is that it shows you're familiar with version control.

Having a github account with several projects on it is a big positive signal. There will be companies who feel that you need a degree, but that's a small portion of the job market. Committing to build and grow a github is probably the single best thing a developer without a degree can do.
I agree with your point, however I would like to highlight your use of confidence intervals:

"If two statistics have non-overlapping confidence intervals, they are necessarily significantly different but if they have overlapping confidence intervals, it is not necessarily true that they are not significantly different."

I think easiest would be to sort by weight first. But the pure mechanical approach of a sieve is attractive, too. Might be a good project for trying out a laser cutter.

You're trying to make me feel bad, but you're doing it with a false dilemma: Either we stick emoji in Unicode or the Japanese are screwed and we told them to "fuck" off. This is a false dilemma, and exactly the sort of thinking that worries me as we fuzzily expand the charter of Unicode beyond a universal grapheme repository. I say there's plenty of third options, many of which are better choices than jamming it into the international all-purpose standard.

Unicode is supposed to be the central hub for all graphemes, but I would certainly like to see some argument that emoji are actually graphemes. For one thing it's quite bizarre that suddenly Unicode appears to be specifying colors as well as shapes, which is one bright line I'd be concerned about. (There may have been colors before but they would be much more exceptional, and I'm not aware of any.) Unicode was ambitious as the all-grapheme repository, it's simply a guaranteed failure if it tries to become the repository of all vaguely iconic/smilyish/little pictures in the world.
I prefer the code snippet:

memcpy(&i, data, sizeof(i));
i = le32toh(i); // Or whichever function is correct.

This is easier to read and requires less smarts from the compiler to do the right thing efficiency-wise.
Yahoo have always been into aggregating other news stories into a Yahoo News site (from day one when they syndicated Reuters). Including press releases. It's where they've always been, rather than where they are going.

Beyond bugs and crashes, it seems to me that Xcode sucks because it's primarily built for a rather archaic language (Obj-C), thus the value added by the IDE is "scrappy" rather than uniform and natural.

Environments that are rich with implicit metadata have synergy with IDEs. Environments full of repetition, gnarly API headers, #ifdefs and #defines don't.

In other words, Xcode is technologically fighting an uphill battle. Fortunately people are still skilled enough to produce great OS X and iOS apps with it.
