I am born and raised in a sunny southern city and always admired nordics (from canada, north europe, moscow till japan) to excel at technology. Now in nordic town of 9 months of cold, I always witnessed due to snow, cold climate, and restriction to be at home most of the time, people focus more on brain work, and in south more on outside activities(cafes, dance) etc. That said, california is against my argument, but I find it really curious to understand which climate is the best one for programming; though I bet more on stockholm than hawaii.
It's not about it being more secure. It's that at least when it's suffering from malfunction, you got shitloads of eyeballs on the thing to make it work and work well. Why do you think all the OpenBSD tools are so ubiquitous?
All the best to microsoft. Its better to die trying than giving up and complaining.
It will be interesting to see how social data will affect the search results. Having been trained to use google for every search i make, going back to an unimpressive UI which may or may not have the best search results is in itself a very annoying thing about bing.
However the problem they are trying to solve, if achieved then i would be one of the several millions who will be benefitted.
Hence i wish them good luck.
While you're generally right, you must not forget about Harmony Proxies and all that meta-programming fuzz.

While the final result of a prototypal class hierarchy is in fact very similar to pseudo-classic inheritance, remember that it's just the result of an internal, manual, modifiable process.
Unless I'm missing something, the latest download available on that site is 2.6. I realize it's free software, so it probably is a little cheeky to complain, but it can't be a photoshop alternative if it's not available on OSX. From what I understand, the new GTK broke tablet compatibility for OSX. If anyone knows enough about those issues and the underlying languages and libraries behind GIMP, consider this an invitation to get involved: http://www.gimp.org/develop/

I'm excited about the unified interface and the new transform tool, so here's hoping it is just a couple more days.
If the software is making you profit, it makes sense to buy.

If the software isn't then why are you paying money for it in the first place?

A software company survives on selling licenses, and although I understand the moral implications of selling a security update like this, I think they are justified if the fix costs a lot of resources.
I think the problem with California has to do more with the large Latino immigrant population than blacks. It's hard to teach science when language is a barrier.
Google App Engine Blog: Cloud SQL: pick the plan that fits your app
The problem is that we are more concerned with political correctness than solutions, and it's not PC to associate economical and educational problems with race and ethnicity.
I guess it is a different culture. In the teams I have experience with, people referred because they wanted to work with good people.
I'm tempted to assume the opposite. I filter out lots of people, whose posts are very uninteresting for me - my assumption reflects my behavior, so the question is if the average user prefers to read everything for entertainment's sake, or filter out what's uninsteresting for him/her.
Well, that kinda depends on how you define standard of living of course. We live very different and longer lives today as opposed to 200 or 1000 years ago. But on a basic day-to-day level, do you think you live a significantly happier and more fulfilling live than a random someone from a 1000 years ago?
Because you can't just throw money at social issues.
Too bad they don't invest more time and resources in educating their community. They're content with sitting back and letting the government mismanage the problem.
Thinking Smart TV Or Why TV Apps Can Give You More Than 15 Minutes Of Fame
We built prompt.im (doesn't really work anymore unfortunately) in less than a day and the first interstateapp.com in around 2 days.
Isn't what http://www.zigbee.org/Products/CertifiedProducts/ZigBeeSmart... are about? Siemens also has a project (formerly HOME) about automation of electric sockets. (I worked on it as an undergrad in 2007-2008.)
Hmm, how long did you stay in one place? Personally if I ever did this, I think I would want to go places where I could stay several months at a time.
HBO's CEO is rational. When I read the excerpts though, it reminded of the time before ink jet printers were dominant. I believe Epson on top, and they were giving a lot of valid reasons for sticking with dot matrix production without a good plan to transition into ink jet printers. Well fast forward some years later, and you have HP eating their lunch.
Real-world beaming: The risk of avatar and robot crime
I suspect (a fair proportion of) the initial crop of tourists are already aware.

The risk isn't really that high, though. It'll only become a real concern once things start to scale up. Then we'll have to clean up orbital space. The real problem is dealing with the occasional solar radiation surge. Bigelow's baseline designs were sourced from NASA, though, so I suspect they have a plan for that.
Hard to feel optimistic about this idea even for adults on facebook.

For kids, this seems so wrong it should almost be illegal, or at least on the level of in-app purchases. "Mommy, this update is really important! Can you link your credit card to my facebook account?" &c.
From what I could find, they lost $254 million on it.
> don't provide anything more than classes do in nice dynamic languages

How would you do in-place method mutation in something like Python or Ruby?
Not a lawyer.

There's nothing you can do because he got there first. "Formal trademark" means nothing because unless you've trademarked in every class and filed for it before he registered the domain, there's little you can do. Even if you came before, there's still little you can do without a significant amount of money.

Talk to a lawyer if it's that big a deal, though.
Yeah, it costs that little if you're already paying through the nose for a cable plan. If you're not, you have to pay for a cable plan just to get HBO GO, so it works out to something like $120 a month. You'd have to watch a lot of movies to approach the actual cost of HBO.
If you get beat up walking down the street, is that your responsibility? Sure, in the sense that any idiot can always find ways that you could have avoided it if only you had done something differently. And in the very obvious sense that nobody else can suffer through the pain of a broken nose for you.

The thing about contracts is that you can't just put any old unfair term in there, because both parties have the right to a fair contract, and a court can rule that particular terms are unfair. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some employment law which is being broken by that 3rd term already, because it allows the company to withhold the bonus for an arbitrary amount of time: they could avoid ever having to pay it by simply waiting until an employee gives notice, then saying "oh we can't pay that anymore" - no way is that a fair term. These guys are cowboys.
Pay for friend accept.
As a founder, I definitely sympathize more with the employee. I want my engineers thinking about engineering, not bullshit paperwork, or how to prevent me from screwing them.

Miso gained $10k in cash, but they lost a ton more than that in employee trust. A foolish bargain, I'd say.
there's just no way, they can justify a 95B valuation at the current revenue streams. if you look at the following estimates:

monthly visitors on google: 190M
facebook: 150M

average time on site (from alexa) on google: 11min
facebook: 22min

revenues of google in 2011 (from google sites):	26B
facebook:	3.7B

this gap is so striking, that I wonder why investors don't realize, that you just can't run ads as well on a social network as you can on a search engine. it does't matter how targeted your ads are or how much you know about your users - it's just not a place where a lot of people click on ads. they are there for the social experience.
facebook has some of the best people in the industry and if they can't figure out how to monetize their site, the rest of the social media startups will have an even more difficult time. this highlighting feature is another attempt. i wouldn't be surprised if they actually started charging large corporations like nike for their pages usage (that could really be a profitable income source).

to sum it up: I see facebook much closer to a 30B valuation, with a realisitc P/E ratio of around 20. because if facebook wants to remain the social fabric of the web, it will also remain the web's workhorse.
I just got home from seeing Steve Lawler and I saw this. Lawler's got mixes in the mixture.fm results: http://mixture.fm/search/lawler
Yes, this is in the TODO list ;)

In fact, it doesn't reach top priority since we can do without for now (we have bitfields.) The issue with slicing is more a question of design: does slicing need to be constant expression or should we authorize more expression power (and then how could we implement that and how could we check it … )

Anyway, I'm looking for a clever way to define values accessed in a none uniform ways.

Integer as bit array was the simplest idea to test (and seems useful to me.) Now the compiler has almost everything I need to implement easily that kind of syntactic sugars.

You are seriously saying in public that if somebody forgot to ask for the bonus at the 6 month mark you'd just pocket it if they left at any point before remembering to ask for it?

Not quite sure what you mean, but I think it's something like this:

Am I on the right track?
This is really interesting, but who's behind this? I can't find any clue in the about / contact us pages.

"work related mistake"? If anything, the CTO should be blamed here... it's not hard to do a sql dump on the hour for backups.
Of course, if you are a C++ programmer, you should migrate to C++11 as soon as possible.

But do not forget that the improvements given by C++11 do not void all the reasons to not use C++ at all. Avoid C++ if you can.
It sounds like you're talking about companies where there wasn't a bonus of this kind and magitude. If so, yeah, different and not really comparable (maybe a token $500 or whatever). Otherwise I think if there's the bonus and people ask for it, obviously it does figure in motivating them to take proactive steps to bring someone on.

> For all intents and purposes, Javascript's so-called prototypes are shitty single-inheritance classes without the sugar.

You're right. I would much rather have Java's or C++'s inheritance models in JavaScript. JS's object model is mutable, which is a plus for me, but it is far only language with mutable object methods or properties. I'll have to move prototypes from the "awesome" pile into the "meh" pile.

> lexical closures

Beyond closures, which I am glad to see in JS, I am referring to the call and apply functions which allow the user to set the scope of the functions during the function call. Again, I am hardly an expert, so the term for this escapes me. Your reply has been very helpful in that regard.

> There's also a lot we could do with Fortran and Cobol. That's no bloody excuse.

Very true, but I'd really like to know why you would put JS in the same class as Fortran and Cobol.
In Ruby:

foo = "Hello"
def foo.to_s; "Hello world!" end

Because "def" introduces a new local variable scope, you'll have to use #define_singleton_method if you want to close over variables:

foo = "Hello"
old = foo.method(:to_s)
foo.define_singleton_method(:to_s) { old.call + " world!" }
Yes I know the universe is REALLY BIG but infinity is INFINITELY bigger. I am saying population cannot grow, infinitely. There will be a limit.
I know this isn't 4chan or reddit, but I couldn't help sharing two specific, and quite harmless (albeit hard to execute), trolls:

- use highlighted posts to literally promote pictures of cats

- make sure FB never reaches 1bn users. Right now they are at around 900m, and growing slower and glower. A coordinated effort amongst people who are on the fence of signing off for good could make sure that number asymptotically ought to reach 1bn, but never does. Wouldn't that be a let down? "Any day now, I think"

Yes, I'm in your typical FB-doesn't-really-add-any-value camp. And as long as FB are having fun to the detriment of the individual, who is to say we as people (coordinated, law-abiding netizens) can't have our fun too?
Twitter API: The problem with followers[friends]/id and users/lookup
Working on a company where 80% of our revenue is because of advertising I disagree.

There are two main difference between the RIAA "every pirate is a stolen sale" and adblock.

1)When you "pirate" something it doesn't mean that you "pirate" everything, while if you install adblock you block the ads on every site.

2)When you "pirate" something it doesn't mean that what you have pirated would have been a legal purchase. But if you go to a website you would have gone there with or without ads. You can say that you won't have clicked on the ad or won't have purhcased anything. But almost 99% of our ads revenue is on impressions and not on click or conversion, so it doesn't really matter if you click or convert the ad.

But, right know, the number of people that use adblock are not that big of a deal (at least on our niche market) that you have to work on fighting it because, right know (for us), it is not worth it.
Ah, my bad. Next time I will do more research before running my mouth.
I believe that MySQL 5.5 scales to 32 cores but not linearly, while PostgreSQL 9.1 caps at 24 cores. As I said in my last comment: I do not doubt much that MySQL would beat PostgreSQL 9.1, but it wont beat it "handily".
I must've missed the build up for all of this because all I got was a very, very buggy interface and two floating guys insulting me and I didn't get it.

That said, I did enjoy SpaceQuest as a kid -- looking at Wikipedia, I wasn't more than 10 when the last game came out. It seems like Kickstarter has become a mechanism for making me feel old.
K-means clustering gives you a set of centroids which are the calculated means of each cluster. If you only want actually occurring colors, just look up the color closest to each centroid.
But I'd have cable or iptv subscription in any case. HBO or not. Being without tv is a no-go scenario in our family.

Besides, the cost is nowhere near $120. I pay to my provider 35EUR for 20/20 internet access + 10EUR for iptv + 10EUR for HBO. So the tv part of my monthly bill is 20EUR.
The beginning of the end for Facebook.
In case you are interested in the "low-level" implementation, there are C example in the manpages (tested on Ubuntu Linux):

man 3 cmsg

Look for SCM_RIGHTS;
Was it? They had a policy of paying $10k if you refer someone that sticks with the company for 6 months. It was a payment.

The onus is not on you to claim your wages is it? And if you forget you're not allowed them because "you should have told us!"?
That's extremely cool. And also extremely creepy :-)
I don't think this could have been handled privately without lawyers. It was clear that Miso did not want to hand over the $10k when asked nicely. This reminds me of the scalding coffee from McDonalds. The woman tried to handle the matter privately, and McDonalds would probably only had to pay a few thousand in medical bills had the fessed up early, but instead they took it to higher courts and got slapped in the face with a million dollar bill.

The only reason Miso paid up so quickly is that they're hoping the $10k will keep people from grabbing more pitchforks.

If you look at other examples of bad company PR, you'll see that companies tend to react fast when then smell a shit storm coming their way... it has nothing to do with poor communication.

The last line implies that SpaceX won't be ready to ferry astronauts to the ISS until 2017.

1) I thought they were closer than that

2) The ISS is slated for decomm in 2016, or is it 2020?
You either need to read the fine print of your employment contracts better, or you've never signed one that included a referral bonus. It probably would've been mentioned by your hiring manager, or whoever interviewed you for the position, or the HR rep.

The amount varies, but the last two places I've worked have spelled out their referral bonus amounts and terms explicitly.
Seems to be missing most of 1965 and then up to Dec 1970. Which sucks, because I specifically went looking for the 1969 poster of Isaac Newton mentioned in the first episode of "Friday Night Dinner". (It's a collectable!)

Last year I visited a site to do with laser eye surgery. I was then subjected to ads for laser eye surgery for 3 or 4 months, even after I had surgery and was definitely not going to be buying the service again.

This gave me an idea for how to prank a friend if they leave you alone with their computer for a short while. Just visit loads of sites for an embarrassing subject (maybe haemorrhoids, vaginal rash, penis enlargement, etc...) They will then be subjected to ads for that subject for months after, with no idea why :-)
Actually, I believe he's behind the curve.

There was a time when some of the things he talks about mattered (1980s), and that time has long gone.

The general public don't buy "computers" to tinker with any more. They buy them just like they buy a toaster. As an appliance to use. The software or hardware it runs is irrelevant. All that matters is the user experience, and if it fulfils the purpose - does it make good toast.
Large orbital debris is tracked, and manned spacecraft take efforts to avoid it. Natural stuff like meteoroids and whatnot are incredibly rare, combined with the fact that space is really, really, really big this makes getting hit by such things far less likely than, say, getting hit by lightning.

Google uses k-means clustering in Chrome on their new tab page (though they use RGB). The most visited section shows a color strip below each site, with a color chosen from the site's favicon.

Here's the code:

I don't really buy that. It enables a syntax that otherwise wouldn't be possible, but so does struct. The only thing really "magical" about it is the optimizations it makes possible, but if that were your concern, it would be the first time I heard anyone complain that compiler optimization is "magical" in any negative sense.

Could you explain what you mean by "in-place method mutation"? With an example in javascript maybe? Is it just about adding or replacing a method on a type (or an instance), or do you mean something more complex?

Ah, it might be as much a matter of my interpretation skills.

But anyway, it's still true that the real danger is radiation. I would be interested in finding out whether they intend to shield part of the station or just schedule visits around solar flares . . .
It's like telling me I can't change channels during commercials when watching tv or listening to the radio. This doesn't seem reasonable.
Great demo, it immediately felt like being back in the Space Quest world.

But did anybody try visiting q42.com? I'm not sure if this proxy server here is blocking some critical content or not but I find it impossible to navigate the 3D stuff. Once I click on a block of text I'm stuck and have to navigate back with browser buttons to see other options again. Some options seem cut-off from visibility. I wanted to see if they offer some sort of HTML5 game engine but I've had to give up because I can't figure out how to navigate this site. Edit: Finally figured out that hectic scrolling with the mouse wheel allows me to navigate.
