First reaction to this for most including myself is that the U.S. is really f--ked. But if the U.S. found this out, odds are they had chips manufactured that looked like the Chinese version but really weren't, with the exception of some small detail, perhaps not on the chip but on the board, that would indicate that the chip was the "fixed" version.

But, this Frienemy war is not about taking advantage of these backdoors. That is the nuclear option. The war is about who has the potential to pwn the other.

BTW- I'm typing this on a Chinese netbook.

You say HTTP crippled TCP so as to not break-down REST. HTTP 1.0 does not seem to be designed for REST; it doesn't seem that REST was really published until quite a while later. Calling HTTP "REST-based" seems a bit of a stretch.

On top of that, could you give a few examples of what you actually mean? Like what would a partial update be?

TCP seems like a perfect fit for the underlying transport for a request/response model; I don't see how choosing it is some sort of deliberate "crippling". What should they have done? Built a custom request/response protocol on top of IP? Isn't that just crippling IP's flexibility as a layer 3 protocol? I don't understand your objections.

I can't really agree with this. The hardest part of going cold turkey "no carb" is the first week; after that, just watching weight literally fall off (I lost 15kg in two months) and having a constant energy level without the "carb crashes" are an excellent reward, which is important considering the time most people give up dieting is early, before they've really had a chance to change their lifestyle.
This seems like another arena that's incredibly practical, ripe for disruption and one of those "hard ideas" that PG talks about that people naturally shy away from, but has real market potential.

Why are you hand writing JSON? Pass a JavaScript object, which doesn't have these limitations, to the JSON serialerizer.

The support for evaling in the various engines doesn't matter because you should not be evaling JSON strings for security purposes.

The serialization format is strict for a reason: look at where less strict HTML parsing has gotten us.
Too much technical aeronautical jargon going on here. As a young lad, I built a box kite. I thought it would never fly, but guess what? It flew very well, thank you very much. I see a flying box kite in the synergy, so let it fly, let it fly, and just get out of my way. Case closed. prove me wrong.
Most of this predates PCs and Microsoft dev tools (unless we are talking about Microsoft BASIC) by a good couple years. When Smalltalk was conceived there was no OS or GUI framework to integrate because all the OS did on a personal computer was file IO and start programs.

Great idea! I need to do this!
I do think it is unreasonable. With a SEM you only get to look at the surface of things, which is going to be either glass or metal or polysilicon. The only way to see a transistor in a sem is if you chemically remove all the top layers (which are the connections between transistors), or perform a cross section.

In the cross section case you are going to see a few dozen transistors out of the millions in a design of any complexity.

It would be remotely feasible to discover some sort of shenanigans if you knew the exact layout of the design, which would basically mean you are a foundry yourself. In that case you might get lucky and spot some difference between the mask you made, and the mask that was used to produce the part under inspection.

But the scales involved make this not believable to me. It would be roughly like scanning the whole of, say, America, and checking every street and intersection of every town, and comparing it against some known quantity to see if something changed in Springfield Missouri.

Maybe somebody could automate this, but the chemical processes for removing layers is less than perfect. Those strands of metal stretching across the ASIC have some built in tension, and if you remove the layer of glass above them, then tend to spring up and jumble. Good luck trying to do something with that.
The questions are there to find out if you can license the image; rights may already have been licensed for certain uses (regional, publication type/genre, etc.). If your intended use overlaps with an existing license that has exclusivity, you can't use it. Even if you're the first one in, your use affects the remaining licensable rights in the image.

Let's take the katana image, f'rinstance. You want to use it for your French-language extreme cookery magazine? Cool. That leaves the image available for the Karate-gi supplier's worldwide site and catalog, as well as for publication in languages other than French (unless you wanted a worldwide print publication exclusive). If you want first publication rights and exclusivity for a year, you've tied up all other rights in the image.

The rights you want in the image may or may not be available, and if they are available, they will determine the licensing fee because they affect the remaining rights. If you go to a place like iStockphoto, you don't get any kind of exclusivity, and can find that every one of your competitors are using exactly the same images you are using. Oh, and so is the weekend "contractor" down the street—you know, the guy with the Skilsaw, cordless drill/driver and Workmate who ruins people's bathrooms and kitchens (but is so affordable). You get what you pay for.

Writing, or at least editing, JSON by hand seems unavoidable if you develop on Node, as modules' "manifests" are JSON files.

I also love to make tests data-driven where possible. JSON is the natural format for data on Node, and again, test cases are usually written by hand (before code exists to generate or validate them).

I'm not sure I understand your point about eval'ing. This parser doesn't use eval(), and it works in every modern browser.

Finally, I'm not advocating for arbitrary looseness. These additions conform directly to ES5's additions.

They didn't say "gigawatt hours". They said "gigawatts per hour", which would be a rate of change of power generation. For example, if the sun came up and in 6 minutes your solar power station went from producing 0 to producing 2.2 gigawatts, that would be an increase of 22 gigawatts per hour. I strongly suspect that the author of the article is just ignorant.

If you open the OAuth flow in a pop-up, with window.open (actually, for most browsers to open a pop-up, the user has to actually click on a link, so your href should be javascript:window.open("https://oauth_start) - target="_blank" might work as well but I can't remember), after the user has completed the authentication and ended back up on your site, you can trigger a function on the parent window and close the pop-up, like window.parent.facebookAuthenticationComplete(); window.close(); I think this is a lot easier and more reliable than pushing anything through a node/pub-sub solution.
Great article. I think it can very well extend to reading code as well, which may seem daunting at first.

Even then - the manufacturer could supply design documents that surreptitiously include backdoors... there's simply so much to look at when it comes to actual circuit schematics, I can't see how anyone would spot "backdoor" circuitry amongst everything else that is presumably legitimate. I don't know much about silicon, so maybe I'm wrong.

I do not have any fund and have a job, but I was thinking about starting something aside of my job and try to make it known. The biggest problem for me now is not technical, I could write an app to develop my idea and put it online. The problem is that I don't know what I am allowed to do or not allowed to do as an owner of a website/webapp that I put for free online. If you take for example the case of Craiglist, someone will put an ad to sell something, and potential buyers will contact this person. How does the website discharge itself from being responsible from any failure in the process? Every law related question are pretty hard to find an answer to.

I agree; the whole node socket/handshake is a ton of overhead if you're not interested in using the socket to make calls over the API you just authenticated.
4 Things to Expect from Your Debt Collection Agency

"The same half hour in a math article buys you 0-10 lines depending on the article and how experienced you are at reading mathematics"

I'm still reading though the article, but this might be the most important bit of information for anyone getting started reading papers that rely on maths. I wish someone had told me this when I started in with the more complex comp-sci papers because it's hard not to feel dense when you have to go over the same 3 or 4 pages of text time and time again to get the concepts.

I've read a couple of texts on the history of math. Most of them were dry, a few were very entertaining like Crowe's on Vector Analysis. But I haven't found anything that beats mac tutor. I used to read it nearly everyday many years back.

The section on Al-Khwarizmi, a key innovator in algebra shows how laborious the task was (site down linking cache):

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nOT6h0c...

a square and 10 roots are equal to 39 units. The question therefore in this type of equation is about as follows: what is the square which combined with ten of its roots will give a sum total of 39? The manner of solving this type of equation is to take one-half of the roots just mentioned. Now the roots in the problem before us are 10. Therefore take 5, which multiplied by itself gives 25, an amount which you add to 39 giving 64. Having taken then the square root of this which is 8, subtract from it half the roots, 5 leaving 3. The number three therefore represents one root of this square, which itself, of course is 9. Nine therefore gives the square.
Facebook needs to fire their entire mobile app development staff. The mobile app does everything the desktop app does minus Push Notifications and yet takes easily 10-20 times as long to load. It's pathetic. There is no good tablet app, etc, the list goes on and on.

The idea that they're going to make their own OS and apps that are as polished or feature complete as their competition which is already possibly too statured is hilarious at best, sadly delusional at worst.
Summary: exercise is good. Eating right is good. Both can help your career.
It can also be helpful to find others who are interested in reading the same bit of math, and talk through it with them. They don't have to be particularly better at it than you, they just have to have a similar level of interest and curiosity. In grad school we read recently published papers in a small group setting we called "journal club".

This process helps in a number of ways. It keeps you from reading too fast or too passively because you're constantly asking and answering questions. It makes you less likely to get stuck in a dead end for very long, because others will see alternatives. It gives you an opportunity to ask about notation or background concepts you aren't familiar with. It helps you keep track of the big picture, because while some people are bogged down in a particular detail (like "how do they get from equation A to equation B?") others will be trying to tie it back to the big picture ("how does equation B fit into our overall goal?") And it allows you to see the even bigger picture as others bring in relevant knowledge or experience; it was pretty common to be working through a paper and have someone mention how it tied in to their current research project.

* Objects and arrays can have trailing commas.*

If I had a penny for every time a trailing comma in a json config file bit me, I would have...many pennies!

I am indifferent about single vs double quotes. The backslash newline escape seems 'messy'.

Not a fan of keys not being quoted. That stikes me as wrongish for some reason that I can't put my finger on.

I can see value in being able to create and represent your stylesheets as JSON objects, but syntactically this seems like a mess to me. For example, here are two things I noticed from a cursory glance at the example code that have their roots in CS's syntax:

* The distinction between representing a selector as a JS object and representing it as an immediately-invoked anonymous JS function that evaluates to a JS object is whether or not it declares any local variables.

* If your selector has a colon in it (in other words, :hover/:active/:before/:active or any other pseudo-selectors), it needs to be wrapped in quotes. Otherwise, it doesn't need the quotes.

Both of these make complete sense when viewed in context of "you're actually writing CoffeeScript", and are sensible solutions to problems you will encounter when writing day-to-day CS. But writing code that compiles down to a static stylesheet is a very different problem than writing business logic: it seems weird to present a DSL where writing two blocks of 'CCSS' code that compile down to nearly-identical blocks of CSS could easily require the two CCSS blocks to superficially look very different due to the accumulation of edge-case language quirks like these.

That is to say: CSS has a lot of quirks. CoffeeScript also has some quirks. It seems to me that this doesn't necessarily do a better job of masking CSS's issues than Less/SASS/Stylus, while adding in the mental overhead of dealing with some of CS's syntactic quirks.
Again, I do not work for RIM, I'm merely a developer.

I've used a Galaxy Nexus for the last week or so, and my parents have iPhones. E-mails and notifications arrive on the Galaxy relatively quickly, I would say almost on par with the BlackBerry, with a very slight edge given to BlackBerry. To be honest, if RIM wants to maintain their existing BES/BIS infrastructure, they're going to have to give more compelling reasons than just push notifications, because it's a problem that is almost solved on other platforms. However, as a developer, to integrate the notifications into your own app, it's easiest on the BlackBerry, and more powerful. That may be good enough reason, especially for enterprises.

You are correct about one BES/BIS account only being able to be associated with one PIN. Remember, this is something that was developed nearly 10 years ago. They could never have foreseen the day when people would need multiple devices. Remember, 10+ years ago, convergence of devices was all the rage.

That said, it was a bit shameful that they couldn't make that change, but it is somewhat understandable. I think RIM didn't foresee the need for native PIM apps on the PlayBook, because they figured most everyone would just use web-based clients if necessary. I'll be frank, I have a BlackBerry, so I used the Bridge apps, and I continue to use them.

The multiple PIN situation is, I believe, solved. If you look at the SDK documentation, there are numerous references to PPIDs and PINs. Basically, a user has one PPID which is unique to them, but they can have multiple PINs, each representing a different device.

I've tried the Cascades SDK, and I do have a Dev Alpha. The Dev Alpha is just a smaller and faster PlayBook, with a bunch of new APIs added and a cell radio (I'm simplifying of course). It's a great little device that has made development much easier. That said, a lot of us are really looking forward to OS updates as there are a bunch of niggling quirks. It's very alpha...

I've tried the Cascades SDK, but I haven't done much work with it because I've been focusing on PlayBook apps right now using Qt. Actually, Cascades is built on Qt, and it's wonderful to work with. It truly makes development quick, fun, and easy. You can make some beautiful apps.

Actually, a friend and I have just finished porting PySide to the PlayBook, so you can use Qt in Python. Yes, you can write native Python apps on the PlayBook and the Dev Alpha. It is NOT officially supported, but it is there. I've taken advantage of this in my own apps.

This post is already quite long, so I won't get into the advantages of QNX over iOS or Android. To be frank, my RTOS course was over 6 years ago, and I'm by no means an expert. I would likely botch the discussion.

JSON 3 here: https://github.com/bestiejs/json3
That's a good point, the name is definitely memorable.
Please don't call it JSON. Actually I don't care much, as your project will be shunned. The first rule of JSON is that JSON doesn't change.
This is just an expriment. Look at the source code, it's ~40loc, it was last updated a year ago.

Say you would want to write a mixin for a better border radius, you'll have to call your variables MozBorderRadiusBottomleft and borderTopLeftRadius. Clearly not a good style. Why? Because it's just a simple regex: key.replace /[A-Z]/g, (s) -> '-' + s.toLowerCase()

That's why I'm afraid of uploading half baked projects to Github. Though so far, even my fully baked projects didn't get any attention.

I, too, would be interested to hear more as I'm having difficulty picturing what you mean. My mental picture is "iPad with a mouse", but there is obviously something missing. I'm dubious of the ability to code at least as efficiently with no keyboard as with, but that may be my lack of imagination.
From what I've seen on here, people always try to talk up the city they are in. Often, part of talking up the underdog involves tearing down the reigning champion.
