In current post he also claims "Since 2009, the year of its first public release, no parsing vulnerability of the HTTP protocol has beed found in G-WAN", which is wrong.

That makes sense. XS components (compiled code which uses the Perl API) don't have binary backwards compatibility between major Perl releases.
I find the opposite. Installing a useful module for a once-off task is a no brainer, since I won't have to worry about whether I'm introducing some long-term dependency I'll have to maintain.

The real issue is in discovering that a better option exists in the first place.

Yeah and if you were driving around taking pictures of peoples homes some might call that creepy---but that's exactly what Google did to create Street View.

I don't think it benefits anyone to argue against the analogy, rather than arguing against the reality in this case.

Not Necessarily Every PI Case involve only Physical Injuries
Whenever we hear about personal injury case, we often correlate it with physical bruises and wounds arising out of automobile accidents, medical malpractices and various other reasons. But the damage occurring from such incidents is not confined to physical injuries only. Rather, the personal injury cases enclose few other verticals of damage.

> An overstatement, certainly, but with more than a germ a truth. Once a library is enshrined in the standard set, it can’t change radically because too many programs rely on it—and its bugs, idiosyncrasies, and complications—remaining stable.

That's a problem inherent in the standardization process, though - it's all but contradictory to have something be both 'standard' and 'continuously improving'.

Once something enters the standard, does anyone propose a better way of removing cruft without constantly deprecating everything, rendering the concept of a 'standard' somewhat meaningless?

As someone who occasionally ends up on Windows having to do Terminal work, thank you. A proper terminal emulator on every platform (well, every platform I care about) is a huge win.

I might even move to this entirely if it adds support for key auth; having a consistent environment across all devices on which you work is a big win, even if the native terminal emulator might be integrated better with the OS.

On a related note, I used to cringe whenever I had to do anything on Windows; such a foreign environment. Nowadays so much has moved to the browser that I hardly notice, modulo some text editing shortcuts. The browser is really about to become the operating system.

You need to clearly declare a prior art detailing your idea to protect it in the first place. This can be done by writing down your idea and having three people attest and sign on it. Another method is to file your idea with an organization such as Writers guild of America http://www.wga.org. But to make commercial use of your idea, you need to file a patent in every country you plan to do business.

In this instance the "bar" method is redefined every time you call getObject.
The fact that the standard library is well-maintained, carefully debugged, and backward-compatible is a far stronger indicator of Python's awesomeness than the existence of shiny, new libraries. Hackers naturally gravitate toward high-visibility projects with brave horizons and bold scopes. By contrast, it is incredibly hard to find the motivation to update, for the umpteenth time, a warty API -- and that's precisely the reason why contributions of the latter sort are the truer test of the vitality of a language's ecosystem.
Unfortunately, it seems the official documentation on installing Python modules[0] makes absolutely no mention of pip or even easy_install. Seems like something that should be there, right?

would it really be worth taking over the digg name at this point after the alienation of its users with the v4 disaster and subsequent migration to reddit. any benefits you would gain from brand recognition with the digg name would be more then offset by the negative feelings many users hold.

By his definition, Google was never a startup because they're not in an area with strong network effects. Nor is their money-source B2C---they're sell advertising space to businesses.
Couple reasons I've encountered..

1. User doesn't understand the WWW. They believe Google is THE gateway to everything internet.

2. User doesn't know (or has trouble typing) the exact address. Google tends to have the authoritative result first for popular sites like facebook, amazon, twitter..
Yeah, Wikipedia would be a pretty big "future shock" (though more social than technological).

And another social surprise would be Facebook because of the number of non-techies using the Internet.
This seems like the slippery slope fallacy. You'll have to excuse me if I find your argument particularly unconvicing! You are saying that those who have placed a blanket ban on cribs will make terrible decisions on health care, yet you haven't proven that this one thing will lead to the other.

It's happened before, at least once very early on:

Google had taken ill.

The problem was the index storing the contents of the web
in Google's servers. For a couple of months in early 2000,
it wasn't updating at all. Millions of documents created
during that period weren't being being collected. As far as
the Google search engine was concerned, they didn't exist.

And then you have to deploy it to the server or someone else's computer and it sucks.

One serious thing Lua is still missing is native Unicode support (correct me if I am wrong).

When I discovered Lua the first time I was enthusiastic. The JIT is so fast, and everything seems to be fine. But missing Unicode is a big disadvantage for Lua. Unicode is a must to have for modern languages. It makes things so much easier when you know you don't have to convert any fonts because they are all presentable in Unicode.

Healthy Food that helps to Fight Fatigue
Everyone from time to time experiences fatigue which is simply mental or physical exhaustion. Fatigue is common due to lifestyle factors.

If you are feeling tired, sleepy or lacking energy, have a good look at your diet. The best foods are those which can be easily digested and release energy slowly.

The engineer who created this system is completely irrelevant since the production implementation of Street View collected all data.

The fault lies solely with Google whether by intent, lack of legal or legal ethics advice, lack of technical oversight, or management incompetence etc. This also seems to be the regulator's view.

However, Google itself and, of course, the media are quite happy to muddy the waters with a bit of "gone rogue" nonsense, though for differing reasons.
The category of "cognitive function" is generally pretty broad, and memory is generally accepted to fall under it. (I'm a neuroscientist, but if you don't trust me, do a Google search.) Memory without some kind of qualifier is not a particularly term either, since there are at least three forms of memory with distinct neural substrates.

FWIW, the closest thing I can find to a human study is http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/00913057859..., which might indicate attention and/or working memory enhancement in non-human primates, but I don't have full text access. There are also a bunch of studies showing it enhances long-term memory in rats, but rats are not primates.

The hardest part about fabless semiconductor startups is the lack of flexibility to pivot.

The time to design chips correctly is 10x-20x higher than doing the same in c++ (let alone a higher level language).

Example: in my previous company we needed to do some Jpeg decode in hardware. You have to buy a library for that. The library aint cheap so you have to evaluate vendors first, then work with lawyers to negotiate a licensing agreement. Then you design, implement, and test integration into your chip. All of this takes 2-3 man-months.

By contrast, we prototyped it in sw in an afternoon, and could be out the door with tests and production polish in less than a week.

You can use fpgas or low-NRE ASICs like eASIC to reduce the build costs, but engineering hardware is really slow.
I would too. Unfortunately C++ is so entrenched it its domain now that any possible replacement is going to have to be more than just incrementally better. Languages like D and Rust and even Go could replace C++ in many of its applications but none so far seem to have gained much traction.

Come on that a bit excessive...

No one is hurt if packets are captured. Its not a violent act. Surely we can loose the hyperbolae.

I am saying that its not realistic to expect privacy if you do things in a public space, including broadcasting your data. If you choose to tell a story out on the street and I hear it you don't get to then say I am invading your privacy by hearing it.
It appears that he is referring to JSON within the limited context of web APIs. The scenarios dismissed as a "very specific edge case in a development environment" appear to crop up all the time when using JSON for something other than APIs - for example, CloudFormation stack templates are written in JSON, and would sorely benefit from some in-line comments.
No it isn't a zero-sum game... but this isn't "invading" their network.

If they connected to the AP and ran nmap against my server yes it would be like that... but simply capturing packets that are broadcast into a public space I don't think is reasonable or realistic to expect it is some grave violation of privacy.

> As long as the US is unwilling to socialize its health care, there is very little sympathy for people putting up with soul-sucking jobs because they are against some half-baked notion of "socialism".

Things aren't so simple as just 'socializing health care'. For a country in which the majority of medical spending is state subsidy, it's hard not to think we already have. And while I might personally be a closer fit to your unsympathetic libertarian strawman, I recognize that I'm a tiny minority in the American population at large. It seems rather harsh to deride a population of people for having to put up with a regulatory environment that clearly isn't of their choosing.
This has happened before in the past with Palm.

Good idea, I'll add this.
A Tour of a Real Geeks Room
Brilliant. One of those ideas that seems so obvious. As crazy as it sounds, I'm hard pressed to believe that there is a better music source than Youtube. Spotify, pandora, and soundcloud are shit in comparison. Youtube has EVERYTHING - I can get any song I want (popular or not) whenever I want it, for free.

The reason I love turntable is that there's constantly new music, and it's curated for me. I mostly absorb, but I can contribute when I want to. The barrier is that I don't have much good music on my hard drive and turntable's catalog often doesn't have what I'm looking for.

The reason I love youtube is that the music collection is nearly unlimited, but I often find myself listening to songs on repeat because I'm too busy/lazy to curate a list of my own.

Plug.dj merges the best of both. And it looks nice too. I'm excited.
I've never had the chance to try Chromebook yet, so does anyone know whether Chromebook has a native terminal & a good text editor? I would love to turn it into a web development environment.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Astronaut_Corps says "As of July 2011 the corps has 62 active astronauts, including 33 military officers, four medical doctors, and 15 with doctorates. The highest number of active astronauts at one time, was in 2000 when there were 149."

"only 339 candidates have been selected to date", but a couple of those candidates finished the program but did not go on with a career as an astronaut (one went into nuclear medicine instead).

"Twelve members of the Astronaut Corps were killed during spaceflight, Space Shuttle missions STS-51-L and STS-107. An additional seven were killed in training accidents. Sonny Carter died in a plane crash while traveling on NASA business."

So another way to reckon this is as 19 dead total from a total population of 339. 19/339 = 5.6% for the US program.

Assuming an average of 10 years, (1-p)10=(1-0.056) gives the probability of a person per year, which is 0.57%, or 580/100K/year.
My guess would be, the "static" part.
I know a bit of eLisp and I quite like it. Frankly, it's not that Lisp syntax is bad (it's wonderful), but most popular languages have a C-derived syntax. For teaching to non CS-types, the target is probably a C-like language and I guess Lua is closer to that than Lisp.
It's largely anecdotal, personal writing. So your description of my style may be technically accurate, but I feel your point suffers as a Mary-the-Color-Scientist observation.

Take Paul Grice's Maxims for conversational exchange: Many maxims are at play, and we shouldn't expect for anyone to be "in control" of their execution of a maxim (maxim of relevance, truth, etc.). And an important point is that Grice notes a maxim of relevance: relevant _information_.

Do I aim to supply anyone with _information_ with my post? Am I giving you information? From my post, does it seem like I, the author, would see _information_ as imperative to my point? Yes, naturally programmers expect an optimally informative state such that transaction might occur, but...

Please, just read the sentences. I'm not a politician trying to convince you. I am a human being with an approximate grasp of Academic English. I mean, you're re-labeling my style with "UNINFORMATIVE."

How do you expect me to take that?

And "as bad as you seem to believe." Please point to anywhere in what I have written that suggests I have described an overarching state of affairs to which we should all direct our attention.

My point is nothing more than "it is a lifestyle choice amongst many". Of course as someone who works out daily, as my anecdotal bits clear emphasize, I am at once suggesting my own bias. But "things"... I'm nowhere in that post talking about _things as they are_ or "the grand scheme."

You've applied that concept, not me. I'm mainly interested in this idea that _Everything before the Internet is boring_. I am thinking in terms that we have all well acknowledged: hours spent in front of a screen. The 5:01 developer intuits this. When I consider my hours not spent in front of a screen, I have sport, books, travel, etc. Others have this as well. Sometimes family or quite simply that too-sunny-fucking-idyllic-sunday feeling that tells you: What I am discussing here, with this poet, must be more interesting than work. So my point is actually a request for us to halt the discussion. Before we talk about values (good, bad, etc.), let's first acknowledge that it is a lifestyle. We should understand the values of the lifestyle (notably the one the original author seems to reject).

And as a follow-up: What motivates this linguistic policing?
Removing constraints (aka increasing flexibility) seems like a good bet, even if you don't know exactly how it will be helpful (all things being equal - i.e. you don't add new constraints/trade-offs) . There are forces/demands applied to everything, and things settle into an equilibrium of trade-offs between those forces (provided you don't add onerous new constraints). If you release some constraints... you can enable a shift to a new equilibrium of trade-offs.

The greater the number of constraints you can release, to a greater degree, the more likely you are to prompt a revolution.

WooThemes still distributing exploitable code with Themes
I guess a valuable scientific study would try to see the delta between what people like and what they think they want. Applying that in real teams though, has a lot more to do with the personal experience and ability to deal with peoples and teams. Some understanding of one own personality and psychology sure helps for getting that kind of ability.
I find the Metro style on mobile "unsexy", quite unfinished. The buttons for example are fairly ugly, but it is just a matter of taste...
This is just to highlight the present risk still associated with using WooThemes.

Current users aren't affected, but now's a good time to re-evaluate if you're a prospective user.
You can try. However, due to the precarious nature of the stock it would be hard to find anyone who will lend it to you. However, if you did find someone willing to lend you a portion, it would cost you almost 100% in fees: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/15/us-groupon-shortse...

I ended up switching to Pandora + Grooveshark + Soundcloud. I can get all my music, mixes, and discovery through these three services.
The thing with python standard library is that it is crapily documented imho. I often can't make heads or tails of it, while I have a much simpler time with any other language (you name it: Java, Ruby, PHP, C, Scala, Lisp, ...).
On iOS keychain access is not dependent on the passcode. Each application has access to its own keychain and cannot access the keychain for other applications. The keychain will still be encrypted even if there is no passcode set.
Yes, except now you're stuck with Grooveshark's hideous "stop what you're doing and watch this ad or I'm taking my ball and going home" nonsense. I gave Spotify a go, but I'm not a big fan of having to download a native client for what can clearly be done online.
I get your point, but there is value in delegating to the database--how do I roll back an external state machine?
