In Rust we're working on a solution for this problem. Essentially, the plan is to have RTTI on garbage-collected data (this is already completed and is used in the cycle collector) and precise stack information for every root on the stack. The latter is in a fork of LLVM: https://github.com/pcwalton/llvm

But aside from the shameless plug, C# and D (I believe), have had precise garbage collectors for quite a while now, and they have similar memory management to Go. It's well-known how to implement it (but that doesn't make it any less hard — I can totally understand why Google opted for conservative GC in the first version).
Reverse-auction style service for a specific market - there's nothing really new (yet) in the actual idea, it's just the target market that isn't served yet in the UK so I wanted to start validating there's a need for the service in the UK (and as there's no competitors in this market as yet and it's a market that can lend itself to this style of service, as evidenced by the US site) - once I'm happy in my research that there's a need/base that will use it, I'll start planning more about how I can provide a unique service for both parties targeted by it
Significant point- Does it work? Non-significant points- everything else.
I didn't mean to imply that Americans never encounter foreigners, but that they never encounter an area where they have to speak another language and deal with another foreign culture.

Think of it in this context: when I travel to Illinois, the people there are still American and still speak English. When a Danish person travels to Belgium (same distance, ~400 miles), they are now in a country where they speak Dutch/German/French and have a Belgian culture. There are almost 10 million Belgians in Belgium, there are just over 350,000 in the US. Of those, how many speak French, how many speak Dutch, and how many speak German? I'll bet almost all of them speak English.
Where do hackers get JOBS Act money?
So the JOBS act has passed, and I think it's great. But where specifically do I go to get this money? Apparently there is some sort of gatekeeper - so another bonus question: who are they, and how do I get to be one?

Totally agree with you, I find the alignment feature quiet complex.
You shouldn't editorialize headlines.
Why wouldn't FB et al be using the keychain to store this?

The problem with the "once they have physical access" argument is that it is easy to be in a situation where you don't think you are giving up physical access. Imagine a rogue coffee shop that builds a bunch of iOS chargers using Raspberry Pi machines that just look like cheap chargers.

Note that this is as much an Apple problem as a FB problem. FB should not be storing tokens outside the keychain. Apple should allow (require?) devices to have a shared key before accepting data connections (similar to the number that pops up for synching the old AppleTV).
I've been in your shoes and don't have any advice that hasn't already been said.

But, think of this as an exciting chapter of your life. You're at bottom, so you can go anywhere from here without constraints or obligations.

This chapter happened for me when I was younger, and at the time it seemed almost awful, but on reflection now, it was very freeing. I'm positive you'll see it the same, when you get older.

If you lack commitments (wife, kids, etc), it's kind of nice to periodically reboot (eg. destroy and rebuild) your life.

Do whatever you're passionate about. Seriously.

PS: Make your passion first, money second.
I'm terrible at right brain thinking and I've been chugging the functional kool-aid, so I don't think that's the issue.

In fact, I could almost argue the opposite. For instance, a standard left brain approach is to break a large problem into smaller sub problems which can be easily managed. When I'm doing functional programming, it's easy to start breaking down a problem via recursion, but the idiom for imperative programming is often to tackle the whole problem at once. To me, that seems to require far more pattern recognition and gestalt understanding than the reductionist functional approach.
LMFAO - SEXY AND I KNOW IT

right guys, right??? (._.)
I'd suggest that you're being a bit ideologically biased against Java. Ain't no easier language to do concurrent programming, aside from Clojure (jvm), Scala (jvm) and I hear Erlang (don't know much about it). Every serious project in Clojure or Scala that I've seen ignores their concurrency stuff and goes straight to Java.

It turns out that if you implement a bunch of Callables and ExecutorServices with LinkedBlockingQueues or SynchronousQueues.. it's basically functional programming. Don't get too hung up on the syntax.
It's telling that in the Moverio product video, Epson doesn't show a single image of a person actually wearing the glasses....

Yes, I know that there is a pic on the product page, if you scroll down.
It seemed like all the other articles were super positive about it. This one seems more in line with my own experiences. I've settled on a biphasic sleep (5-6 hours + 30-40 nap midday) but only when I can. If I have too much trouble waking up or if I can't take a day nap I sleep like a normal person.
Hm. Young people are not known for tenacity. In fact, no one is. Its rare. And I'd hazard, uncorrelated with age.
1) I would enjoy doing this kind of work for 30 minutes, in a big factory, with cool heavy machinery. I'm sure I can find a lot of other people who would enjoy it, too. But you really think there are people who would want to "spend the rest of their life doing repetitive assembly" or that it would be good for them?

2) Why is clerical work any less appealing or rewarding in terms of being able to market oneself?
1. Its not simply about they not being able to "do anything" to my account. Its the linkage. Maybe I use my real name on twitter, and I do not wish to use it with the service I am trying out (or the otherway round). The linkage extends even further. If I signin to both, service A and service B with the same twitter login, now these two can link to each other, without any assistance.

2. It takes mental effort to keep track of all the permission I may have granted to various services from my various identity providers. If I want to disable access, I need to make extra effort. If there is no linkage, I merely forget it about it and it goes away. Even you say "They don't get your email (I think)" - that "I think" right there is the problem. I would have to keep (and maintain) a mental checklist of everything I am providing access to when I use a syndicated login service.

3. Permissions evolve. Twitter may change its access policies, a new hack might allow privilege escalation. Each time this happens, I would need to review what apps have which permissions. For services I actively use, I am willing to put in that effort If absolutely needed, but for something I tried out as an evaluation, its not worth the hassle.

As I said, until I am convinced I am going to be using the service, I do not wish it to stick around in my "apps with permissions" list, or anything else for that matter. If I try it out, and decide it aint for me, I just want to navigate away and never think about it again.
I'm not sure why I expected there to be more to this post.

Can someone more inclined elaborate a bit on this please?

"As opposed to traditional computer bits, which can encode distinctly either a one or a zero, qubits can encode a one and a zero at the same time. This property, called superposition, along with the ability of quantum states to "tunnel" through energy barriers, will some day allow quantum computers to perform optimization calculations much faster than traditional computers."

I get it, a qubit can store multiple states, but if someone could give a little more on how it does that, and why that means quantum computers will be faster someday, that'd be excellent.

Interesting experiment, thanks for sharing.

Original polyphasic sleep was divided into two periods of night sleep. The historical evidence shows this was considered normal in most pre-industrial societies.

JDK 1.5, Picture Bullets & Enhanced Table Rendering Support in PPTX
The long awaited version of Aspose.Slides for Java (2.9.0) has been released. This release is compliant with JDK 1.5 and adds support for picture bullets in PPTX presentations. However, this is mainly a maintenance release that fixes a number of different issues. We have resolved issues to do with presentation access, as well as table rendering issues and issues with missing border lines relating to saved and cloned presentations. The issue of table borders failing to render in saved or cloned presentation has also been resolved in this hotfix. This release includes plenty improved features and also fixes for following issues.

•	Table borders missing in generated presentation
•	NullPointerException on cloning slide
•	UnknownFileFormat on accessing the presentation
•	Table lines disappears on saving PPT
•	Setting text frame anchoring type does not work
•	Table lines are missing cloned PPT
•	CellEx.splitByRowSpan() always throws Exception
•	JDK 1.5 computable version of Aspose.Slides for Java
•	Bullets improperly rendered in generated thumbnail
•	Filling Shapes with specified color feature is not working any more in version 2.8.0
Any recommendation on how we should google for Go related pages?
>People who've taken Haskell or even Scala into prime-time production are extremely rare.

Not that rare, actually. I have a hard time finding companies that want to use Scala.
Here is my problem with all of this. PBKDF really just means "take this hash function and apply it 1000 times in succession". That seems like a very butchery style to approach cryptography for me.

bcrypt seems to lack any research verification. Its a modified blowfish, but who of us can tell what modifications are safe without making the scheme ineffective and gauge its validity?

Which is why they're trying to crowd source the maintainership: the idea is that airports and giant retail stores will have a built-in incentive to keep their maps updated. And it might be true.

But I'm a little mixed on this. Google maps, while great and useful, isn't an open source project. The data is closed and proprietary and not useful to the community at large. I'd much rather this be done under the umbrella of OSM or the like, or if nothing else published as a separate data set subject to open licensing.
Question for founder: do you get a better user response from highlighting your own progress pics, or Michael's?

I would imagine most people look more like Michael than you (I wouldn't even call you skinnyfat, just skinny) - do you get a better response from people who want to go from decent condition to ultra fit like your 'after' pics, or from overweight people who are looking to get un-fat?
The 'Of Course' Principle of Design
This is in the storyline:

>In 1988, a brand new deep sleep cell was released, compatible with all popular 16 bit computers.

So I've assumed from the start that the D is for Deep, because the whole story is about this deep sleep stuff. But yeah, that's really just speculation. I don't think there's any official answer to it.
Or even better: "WE will never..." That way it doesn't sound like you're trying to weasel-word a (meaningless to the user) distinction between your company and your product.

Unicomp still makes buckling spring keyboards with IBM's Model M (as well as other IBM) designs. They're loud as hell but feel great. http://www.pckeyboard.com/ You can ask them for Mac keycap replacements to swap out the ctrl/windows/alt keys with control/option/command keycaps. Works great on my Mac with swapping Alt and Option key functions in the keyboard preferences panel.
Shear thickening fluids have a non-linear relationship between shear rate and shear stress. Schematically, it's the green line in this graph [1]. By choosing your material carefully, you can minimize shear stress at 'running' speeds, and then sharply ramp it up to protect against faster projectiles.

You mean like the Opti Grab?
We learned a lot about blindness from having guardianship of our blind teenage nephew for a year. True, the ear piece would be the big benefit for him (though one eye was very slightly sensitive to light). Others at his school had varying degrees of low vision and might at least benefit from bright flashes of light. But the big gain would be something that describes his environment out loud. Blind people do still aim their faces toward things. And it's much better than a similar capability in a handheld device such as the iPhone or iPod Touch, because for the blind, orienting a handheld device correctly can be a major problem. We turned on the accessibility features for our nephew's iPod, but the thing would switch from landscape to portrait as he turned his hand slightly. Head-mounted is the way to go. And for the sighted, it will be great for games, as I found out from the prototype glasses I got: http://youtu.be/lQGpOibUsyo
That sucks for Android users. You want a Nexus device because it has a better chance of getting an update but otoh support sucks because it is Google.

To be clear, I'm perfectly fine with Google not supporting free products (although it is good customer service to do so). However, this bad behavior applies to products and support that customers pay for which IMO is unacceptable.
I wouldn't even try something like this, so good on you for giving it a shot and writing about it.

However, having researched polyphasic sleep before, my reaction at coming to the end of your essay was surprise that you'd ended the experiment prematurely. It seemed like you hadn't given yourself time to fully adjust. I expected a Week 3 during which you were able to drop immediately into REM and wake up refreshed.

I assume you just ran out of vacation, which is understandable. But it seems unfair to judge polyphasic sleep based on an incomplete run.
how about investing LESS money into military research?
I worked for a startup that used to advertise its open positions as "Silver Java Guru" or "Java Geek".

Needless to say, we got one awful applicant after the other. Most could Fizzbuzz. Some could not. And others must have cheated their way through the phone interview - when you got them in person, it all fell apart.

One thing I noticed from the process is that little things like spelling mistakes, incorrect formatting, etc., in a resume was very telling. Without fail, the kind of person who had typos in his resume was the kind that failed our programming tests, miserably.
How is this different from MegaUpload?
Same here, but thanks to Mythbusters in my case.
In reality the usable space is substantially less; you can start seeing significant collisions once you've filled half the space.

More problematic, the chance of any collisions is 50% when you have filled just sqrt(space) - known as the birthday paradox.
How long until someone uses these to make first person shooter game maps automatically? (Using Google Maps outdoor mapping data for games is a great idea, like the tower defense game from a couple days ago).
I didn't mention perseverance because that seems like a given for a startup to be successful. I sure wasn't claiming that domain expertise allows you to be half-hearted in your efforts.

Perseverance is necessary, but not sufficient. Perseverance and technical excellence, without domain expertise, seems like a road to failure.
After 250 Investments, 500 Startups Builds Out Team, Raises New Fund
Speaking from experience, most of your assumptions are completely wrong. It's much easier to gain valuable skills in personal, open source, and consulting projects, because you can target your work towards sought after languages, tools, and frameworks, and clients you contract with will often let you choose the technologies if you make a good case for them. Bad companies will tend to use bad and outdated technologies, and they won't be open to the suggestions from a new hire.

It's also extremely difficult to build a strong portfolio working at a bad company, because bad companies by their nature rarely get anything done, and even if they do, they'll pigeonhole you into the most monotonous tasks and you'll get 0 experience making architectural decisions or working on anything outside whatever little gutter they throw you in.

On the contrary, doing your own projects or contracting (ideally with startups or small companies) will force you to learn every level of the tech-business stack, from feature planning to architecture to coding to design to deployment to launching and promotion. You can work on many projects in a short timespan, and you'll be left with numerous portfolio pieces that are all your own.

"Most companies wouldn't even consider you as a contractor unless you have several years of solid experience. I can only assume you mean the kind of 'contracting' that happens at places like rentacoder.com."

This simply isn't true. You just need to sell yourself and show that you have good ideas and get things done. I got paid $60 per hour on my first rails project with no experience whatsoever in rails. The client never asked. She just saw that I had several strong pieces of work in my portfolio (half of them personal projects), and told me to use whatever tools I thought best for the job. If you're considering rent-a-coder you're definitely doing it wrong.

Don't settle for mediocrity. Take the initiative and start building a portfolio any way you can. The sky's the limit once you have a solid body of work to point to. You can make good money contracting or you can have your pick of awesome jobs. Having experience in some crappy job isn't what matters, it's showing that you can build great software.
Touchscreen phones weren't a new idea either. The implementation and how well it works matters a lot more.
I found that for me personally, getting fit is not a problem, it's keeping the weight off is the issue. Sure, the 12 week program looks impressive, and I have no doubt that if closely monitor everything, providing details of every single meal and exact exercise you have to do, anyone with enough willpower can achieve the goal. But what's next?

Growing Number Of Open-Source Projects
My Impressions of the New iPad
Please forgive me my ignorance, but why are these DCPU-16 implementations in <put your favorite language> [in less than X lines] popping up in recent days?
OK, yes, I get it, every major programming language can implement an emulator for DCPU-16 in a few dozen lines. Can someone hurry up and post the [consults the Trendy Language Calendar] Node implementation so we can call it a day on the DCPU-16 implementations?

(Incidentally, I'm not saying DCPU-16 is uninteresting, and if somebody's got something more interesting than a straight-up implementation I'm still all ears. But... Church-Turing, you know?)
concurrency stuff

You're talking about at least 3 distinct models: direct thread management, with improved locking routines (java.util.concurrent, see recent Prismatic thread on HN), actors/green threads (Akka and erlang BEAM), and STM/guarded read/writes (clojure, and you should read about Microsoft's attempt to graft STM onto C#, Joe Duffy's blog)

This is probably good for Google. When you start a new product category, you need competition to validate your idea. Although you still need a big enough lead to maintain your leadership in the market. Hopefully Google didn't show the video way too early so competitors get a chance to make something just as good by the time they get it out themselves. It should come out within 6-12 months at most.

Take a cue from to OP's site and do a 12-week challenge. During the 12 weeks eat the best eating plan you can manage for at least 5 days/week and don't go crazy on weekends. Keep workouts intense, short, and keep challenging yourself. After the 12 weeks reassess -- maybe you'll be willing to spend some money.
