Thanks for this explanation. One question: Once the atoms are entangled, I understand that both take on the same superposition. At this point, in any possible way, although we don't know the states, do they actually communicate instantaneously, ie. not at the speed of light?

Put another way -- for the longest time I have believed that through entanglement atoms transmit information instantly (not at the speed of light). Is this in any way true?
This is pretty common practice to increase yield by using only partially working parts that are still usable in limited way. While 486DX/SX is prime example, there are lots of other:

Original Xbox used marginal DRAM chips and detected by software on each boot which regions of memory are actually usable.

AMD's current CPUs with "weird" number of cores (3, 6, 12..) are produced by disabling cores that does not pass tests.

Cell BE as used in Playstation 3 has one SPU disabled for same reason.

While in most cases such disabling is done by blowing some fuses in hardware I can imagine that in embedded systems software only solution (like the Xbox one) is actually more convenient.

I used a TN display in vertical position for a while and it sucked. If you moved the head just a little sideways the colors completely changed, and after a couple of hours I started to feel nausea. My doctor told me it was because the eyes are seeing different images (each eye saw the display at different angles, and because of the poor vertical view angles the brain received different colors and light and had to compensate - like using polarized 3D glasses). Now I use a combination of vertical + horizontal 16:10 IPS displays and it's way better. I mostly use the vertical one for web browsing and doc reading.
I think we should back speed+mobility simply because it's abbreviated as S+M.

Though really, I think the end result will be a standard that uses the best of both technologies, so bring it on i say!

I consider Word to be one of the greatest programs on Windows. It has always did well what it was meant to do - a noob friendly professional publishing tool.

Heck, I use it on my Mac as well. A major flaw mentioned in this article (to edit web documents in word) is like editing vector graphics in Photoshop - it wasn't built for that.

Wait, you mean your document layout program isn't good at generating web pages?!

I don't understand how people can write articles like this. I remember reading something similar a few years back where someone criticized Wordpress because, "it is designed as a blogging platform from the ground up, it doesn’t lend itself to people who want to build a website without a blog."

When I wrote an article on it at the time, I compared this line of thinking to "because this car was build to drive on the road, it doesn't lend itself well to serving as a boat".

Yes, you could use a boat as a car, and yes there are better boats than a car, but that doesn't mean it's a valid point against cars.

"A lot of software developers are seduced by the old '80/20' rule. It seems to make a lot of sense: 80% of the people use 20% of the features. So you convince yourself that you only need to implement 20% of the features, and you can still sell 80% as many copies.

"Unfortunately, it's never the same 20%. Everybody uses a different set of features. In the last 10 years I have probably heard of dozens of companies who, determined not to learn from each other, tried to release 'lite' word processors that only implement 20% of the features. This story is as old as the PC."

I'm honestly curious what instances you're referring to where people were FORCED to buy Apple devices. So if they didn't buy these apple devices what would happen? They would be put in jail?

Also, exerting significant control over the rest of the market of smartphones still doesn't mean Apple has forced you to buy their products. Just means they are the leader in their particular market. you don't have to buy ANY smartphone or start a business based upon smartphones. Not sure how this is a violation of anybody's rights.

I agree that it's wasted space, and that is something they could fix, but it seems like it happens all the time nowadays. It is more obvious once you scroll down a bit on Google+. But overall their design is cool and it feels more like an app than a website.

You can also create your own custom stylesheet to fix the whitespace now.

There is no standard format for the plain text part of bounce that your MUA shows to you as it's just that: plaintext part to show when MUA knows nothing better to do.
RFC 3464 specifies format of additional MIME parts of message that specify what happened in machine readable format. It's interesting to note that it's exactly same mechanism as is used for sender-requested notifications for delivered email in which case these messages are processed by MUAs just fine.

Harry Beck used a fish eye distortion for this exact purpose, when he designed the classic London Tube map in 1931. The scale is larger in the dense inner city, where the stations are closer together, and smaller in the outer suburbs, where the stations are further apart. The net effect is that the density of the stations is roughly constant across the map.

As a designer, I'm a bit confused by this criticism. The reason why I hate Facebook so much, is that because every single space is jam-packed with text and content. Negative space is important to give some visual space to breathe. I like the new design and google+ in general because it feels simple, clean, etc. Do you complain about google's search engine page being too simple as well? Maybe it's just subjective, but I like the empty space.
It's worth pointing out that for a _large_ number of users, the primary copy/paste flow from a Word document is into another Office application (quite often Outlook).

The end result is that you end up with two common flows:

* The program I'm pasting into is another Office app and supports (roughly) the same formatting, or

* The program I'm pasting into is a very rudimentary text-handling program and will just look for the plain-text version of whatever was copied.

Yes, there are a number of apps that fall into the uncanny valley by trying and failing to parse Office's output, but I suspect for most people this is a huge red herring.

p.s. I'm a Microsoft employee, but I have nothing to do with how Office handles copy/paste. This is just my opinion.
I appreciate how the new design makes a lot of Google+ features first class citizens. Chat, Circles and hangouts can be easily seen and accessed in this new design which makes for a more enjoyable social experience for me as I browse.

I've got to agree. The fact that games and pages are sort of put on the back burner (but can be changed by user preference) really shows that Google cares about nailing the core experience. They've done a great job so far of keeping the stream one of the most pure places for information on the internet, as far as pollution goes. They didn't take the Facebook route of pushing the games section front and center.

word processors are themselves obsolete in a world where the result isn't printed.

I don't see that.

When contracting I am always being sent Word docs for this and that. There's rarely a need for anyone to print them; the value seems to be in the ability to control layout and highlighting, embed nicely formatted tables, and include images or diagrams, all as viewed on a computer.

Even if we assumed no one was ever going to print these documents, only pass them around to a limited audience, what would be a better tool for the average person helping out on a project? If not Word then almost certainly something very much like it.
The thing is, for a lot of non-technical people, it IS easier, just because they know how to use it. My friend was asked to make a website with CMS capabilities for his church. They were putting up Drupal or Joomla or something like that, demoing all the features, saying "isn't this so cool and great?"

The church committee stared at them blankly and asked, "Can we have something simple like write something up in MS Word?" Even with WYSIWYG features, they didn't get it at all, but they did get MS Word. My friend tried to protest saying, "But actually, you don't want MS Word. This is so much better for technical reasons, and you can format text exactly the same, blahblahblah."

The fear that non-technical people have to try to use a brand new system they've never seen before is not something with which I'd ever be able to empathize. But I am able to sympathize, especially after the day I tried to teach my dad how to use gmail to attach photos (using gmail's drag and drop feature no less!). It was so frustrating to see he didn't get drag and drop, but he finally did manage to click some buttons, after a LOT of hesitation.

Non-technical users don't care that Word adds on all that garbage. They don't even notice. They do care that their experience is that Word just works. And they're afraid of changing.

I know that none of this really matters. More and more people seem to be getting more technically savvy every day. New technologies will leave old technologies behind, whether late adopters like it or not. Heck, even my dad can use gmail now. But part of me feels mean and guilty for making these non-technical people suffer through the transition. Not that I have any solution for that issue.
Vic Gondutra said they've reserved the white space for an upcoming feature.
Though the odds are stacked against him, I hope it at least sets a precedent for other companies to follow. I'd pay for an ISP that promised this with reasonable speeds - though I doubt his project will be able to gain traction outside of the launching market.
Yes, but there are a few out there already that just never get that much traffic.

They're all completely different issues. Anyone who has a ground-level view of adsense will know that their fraud detection/prevention system is broken. Legitimate users find themselves booted and scammers get away. The scammers who don't get away purchase accounts (illegally) and continue business because they're scammers and aren't particularly concerned about the law.

This, on the other hand is about a guy who built "extensions" on top of google+ and used its public interface in a way that was not intended by the google+ developers and got stung when they made a change. The author is over-reacting to something that isn't really a malicious action by Google.

When I arrived in London I sent my CV as a PDf to a number of recruiters. Each one requested that I send a word copy, something that was difficult as I had written it in Latex.

I found out later that they want it in word so they can edit it, incorporate the cover letter, their own notes etc. Not a system that instilled me with confidence.
I can't see how this can result in great apps. The apps either have to run against a lowest common denominator API, or they must reject most of the platforms for each build, making this useless. And let's not even start about a native UI (and I'm not talking about merely using the host platform's widgets).
To both of your points, in the example from the article, the author is not describing how Word converts documents to HTML. He is describing the XML markup that the newer versions of Word use, and which can be carried along when you cut and paste text from Word.

What do you mean hot loading? In both cases we write to c, I don't think c needs to be in the cache at all. (Despite my belief this wasn't the difference, I also tested pre-initialization and it does not make a difference)

However I checked the inner loop's asm and there are differences. The addition part is exactly the same, however the C code has an extra instruction which I do not understand the origin of:

c version:

0x1e84 movsd -8(%edi, %eax, 8), %xmm0 ! Loop start[3], SSE
0x1e8a movl -32(%ebp), %edx
0x1e8d addsd -8(%edx, %eax, 8), %xmm0

0x1e99 incl %eax
0x1e9f jnz 0x00001e84 <main+154> Loop end[3]

Is it not true that HFT generally increases market liquidity and decreases volatility?

That's the conventional wisdom, but it isn't at all clear that there is actually evidence to support it.

eg:

A majority of British asset managers, pension funds and corporate treasurers polled in a UK government-sponsored study are sceptical that “high-frequency” trading provides liquidity to markets.

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/c3dce154-6301-11e1-9245-00144feabd...

Taken together, this evidence suggests something important. Far from solving the liquidity problem in situations of stress, HFT firms appear to have added to it. And far from mitigating market stress, HFT appears to have amplified it.

http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2011/10/mor...

Personally, I like the idea HFT - but it isn't at all clear it is actually beneficial.

(Edit: I can't understand why anyone would downvote you for that question. It seemed reasonable to me...)
There's something to this. While liquid courage is no longer important for me in bars, it helps a ton when you have that one programming challenge that has been bothering you forever, and all you have to do is take a leap of faith with the solution you think will work.
This new java platform implemented a lightweight UI which is pretty powerful and rich allowing embedding native widgets and with native access to all platforms.

I don't think people who use Word were ever going to produce nice-looking web pages anyway, and I'm _sure_ they won't care about how ridiculous the code is. If they're satisfied with it, fine; if they're not, shouldn't they just be looking for a tool which is actually meant for the job?

Because I like analogies: I'm really bad with woodworking. Everything I do ends out being really hacky because (I'm usually told this after) I don't use the right tools. Even if I can use a saw for something other than its intended purpose, is it really the saw's fault if it performs worse than the right tool for the job?
Software APIs are one thing, the C/C++ spec is another. The latter undergoes revision after revision through hundreds of publicly released drafts and after years and years of planning and experimentation. The former is subject to the whims and caprices of whomever's software you're using.

Automatic Redis Failover for Ruby
I just released redis_failover, a new Ruby gem that provides automatic Redis failover support for Ruby. From the project README:

Redis Failover attempts to provides a full automatic master/slave failover solution for Ruby. Redis does not provide an automatic failover capability when configured for master/slave replication. When the master node dies, a new master must be manually brought online and assigned as the slave's new master. This manual switch-over is not desirable in high traffic sites where Redis is a critical part of the overall architecture. The existing standard Redis client for Ruby also only supports configuration for a single Redis server. When using master/slave replication, it is desirable to have all writes go to the master, and all reads go to one of the N configured slaves.

This gem attempts to address both the server and client problems. A redis failover server runs as a background daemon and monitors all of your configured master/slave nodes. When the server starts up, it automatically discovers who is the master and who are the slaves. Watchers are setup for each of the redis nodes. As soon as a node is detected as being offline, it will be moved to an "unreachable" state. If the node that went offline was the master, then one of the slaves will be promoted as the new master. All existing slaves will be automatically reconfigured to point to the new master for replication. All nodes marked as unreachable will be periodically checked to see if they have been brought back online. If so, the newly reachable nodes will be configured as slaves and brought back into the list of live servers. Note that detection of a node going down should be nearly instantaneous, since the mechanism used to keep tabs on a node is via a blocking Redis BLPOP call (no polling). This call fails nearly immediately when the node actually goes offline.

This gem provides a RedisFailover::Client wrapper that is master/slave aware. The client is configured with a single host/port pair that points to redis failover server. The client will automatically connect to the server to find out the current state of the world (i.e., who's the current master and who are the current slaves). The client also acts as a load balancer in that it will automatically dispatch Redis read operations to one of N slaves, and Redis write operations to the master. If it fails to communicate with any node, it will go back and ask the server for the current list of available servers, and then optionally retry the operation.
