Scaling and session affinity are the big concerns with Coroutine and Continuation based web based solutions.

Sticky load balancing is the norm (http://continuity.tlt42.org/Performance_and_Scalability) but it means a running Coro/Continuation can remain in memory for quite a while (Seaside saves continuation (or it did) to disk after some idle time).

Still I love using these kind of libraries / frameworks especially for smaller web apps.

I haven't heard of any commenting on this specific case, but one of the tracks involved in the suit is a Nine Inch Nails track, and Trent Reznor's been pretty clear that he doesn't have a problem with fans downloading his music.

Of course, the artists can't do much about it, since they've typically signed over these kinds of rights to the labels, but it could at least produce some bad PR if they raised more of a stink about it.

They could also "vote with their feet" and sign with a non-RIAA label. That unfortunately still seems quite uncommon. Of the artists on the list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_v._Tenenbaum#31_songs), two subsequently went indie, Monster Magnet and NIN.
We used Caliburn Micro for its Screens / Conductors implementation and its convention-based wireup of views. We use ReactiveUI for all the ViewModel code though.

same here. in fact i'd call it a power law--90% `ls`, 9% `ls -l`, .9% `ls -ltr`, .09% `ls -lhSr`, .009% `ls -d` .0009% `ls -i`, etc.

which suggests the default behavior, and arrangement of the flags, is very well designed.

(if i could change one thing, it'd be to make all the sorts ascending by default....)

The logical end to this road is continuation-based web servers. See http://docs.racket-lang.org/continue/index.html and my approach to the Arc challenge, https://gist.github.com/1304257

The interesting function which does all the work is:

(define (start req)
;; First, we get input from the user
;; Then, we pause for the link
;; Finally, we show what the user typed.
(let ([input (get-input-from-user)])
(pause-for-link)
(show-input input)))

Each of these calls - get-input-from-user, pause-for-link, and show-input sends a complete page back to the user and waits for them to click a link or submit a form request. It's a really smooth way of solving some problems.
Reading music is a valuable skill, but not one (evidently) that aspiring guitarists are inclined to tackle, even now. I know a lot of amateur guitarists, and the only ones who can read music are the ones who learned to do so while learning some other instrument. I read music, but almost never apply this skill to guitar, because it just isn't how the (non-classical) guitar community communicates.

Which isn't anything to be happy about perhaps, but does seem to be the reality of the situation. I'd put reading music in the same category as tabs etc: "You should really learn this, sooner is better than later, if you're serious about guitar". But a lot of people struggle to get off the ground with guitar at all, so I can still see value in something like gTar. Though I do see it as a niche market (musically struggling, iPhone owning technophiles).

"IRC 877A imposes a mark-to-market regime, which generally means that all property of a covered expatriate is deemed sold for its fair market value on the day before the expatriation date. IRC 887A further provides that any gain arising from the deemed sale is taken into account for the taxable year of the deemed sale notwithstanding any other provisions of the Code. Any loss from the deemed sale is taken into account for the taxable year of the deemed sale to the extent otherwise provided in the Code, except that the wash sale rules of IRC 1091 do not apply."

The trial (and damages) did seem to hang on the making available idea, so I guess the defense would have to prove the songs were not made available to anyone who didn't already have them. That sounds hard.

Also, it's still copyright infringement to provide a copy to someone even if they already have it. I cannot, legally, provide a rip of a CD to anyone who has a cassette tape of the same album.
"Revolution: A forcible overthrow of a government or social order for a new system."

By your own definition; _same_ system, just different controller, so no revolution.
My point isn't about levels of abstraction, it's about standardized communication protocols. Making marks on a thin slice of a tree conveys a vote exactly because that's what the government decided the way to make a vote would be. If I write my vote in hieroglyphic etchings on an old shoe and post it to the first lady, I can't expect my vote to be counted.
Well since you're not deindexed you don't actually need to submit a reconsideration request as it will check if its in Google's index and ignore the request if it is.

The fact that you've submitted one doesn't harm a site, I was highlighting that its the last thing anyone should do if their site is deindexed. The reason for that is because if someone wants to get back into Google there are several steps which they should do which often get the site back into the index (sometimes within 48 hours) meaning they don't even need to submit one as their site is back ranking again.

The problem with a reconsideration request is that a real person employed/outsourced by Google has to manually review a site and the links to it which is not only is time consuming waiting for this to happen BUT they've been called out several times for not actually reading the reconsideration requests[1].

It's one thing to be scared of the deep inner-workings of OpenSSH (which truly can be scary). It's another thing to be "scared" of ssh-keygen, especially considering it's something that most competent developers will use when managing servers, deploying to Heroku, managing source, etc.

"ssh-keygen -t rsa", set a passcode on it, upload the id_rsa.pub and you're done.

Demonstrating a lack of understanding of that was worrisome for myself and other users that commented on his post a few weeks ago.

Follow the article's "the Supreme Court this morning" link. This case is one of 80 under the CERTIORARI DENIED heading. Exactly one case appears under CERTIORARI GRANTED. The Supreme Court doesn't have time to hear the vast majority of cases brought to it. IANAL, but I think the headline of this article inflates the singificance of this non-decision, especially in light of _delirium's comment.
The quote from Apple's website that the author uses to condemn Apple as creating a false sense of security is a bit out of context. Apple isn't saying that they're immune to viruses. Rather, they go on to detail the exact security measures they're talking about.

"With virtually no effort on your part, OS X defends against viruses and other malicious applications, or malware. For example, it thwarts hackers through a technique called “sandboxing” — restricting what actions programs can perform on your Mac, what files they can access, and what other programs they can launch. With FileVault 2, your data is safe and secure — even if it falls into the wrong hands. FileVault 2 encrypts the entire drive on your Mac, protecting your data with XTS-AESW 128 encryption. Initial encryption is fast and unobtrusive. It can also encrypt any removable drive, helping you secure Time Machine backups or other external drives with ease. Other automatic security features include Library Randomization, which prevents malicious commands from finding their targets, and Execute Disable, which protects the memory in your Mac from attacks."

It goes on to detail Safari's antiphishing features, among other things.

I'm no Apple fanboy, but I don't think the quote cited by the author is enough to condemn Apple.

Ah, that brings back memories of NTID. Especially the deaf sex bit.
Agree. The goal ought to be to make code more understanble rather than more terse. This short example reads fine either way, but when an expert coder puts this subtle trick in a pile of code noise the replacement developer that has to fix that code months later curses every line of it.

Yes, it's illegal to distribute copyrighted material against the copyright owner's wishes. It doesn't matter if it's a peer-to-peer network. From both a legal and technical standpoint, there's basically no difference between placing a song on a webserver for people to download and hosting it on a peer-to-peer network.

Also, if your peer to peer network has you downloading the same thing over and over again, then your peer-to-peer network is broken.

It needs to be said front that this is NOT Twitter's ad product, it's some third party service (which likely just broadcasts to a large number of followers for $100).

So, there's no targeting, and the pricing appears high for Twitter's standards (which is priced in cost per engagement or CPE).

Please change the misleading title.
Show HN: How we used Tapstream to get more app users
I'm curious about the performance overhead of this vs using traditional syntax with named variables. Looking over the gem, the code is quite terse, but it depends on method_missing, which is notoriously slow. The danger with an abstraction like this is that it can make performance problems difficult to identify since it looks so much like a built-in operator.

I also agree with stuffihavemade in that I don't actually find

(&X.method(bar))

any more clear than

{ |x| x.method(bar) }

Yeah, but assume I've patented the system for calculating etc, etc the route, and the patent had not expired yet.

Google Missed The Boat On Buying Twitter.
Someone else just mentioned that to me the other day, and it makes some sense. But isn't it the case that television ads don't have intent associated with them either? And those seemed to work for a long time even though they were less targeted. So while intent might be a major factor, it seems it can't be the primary difference.
Facebook Advertisement Vs. Google Advertisement [Infographic]

Never heard of the Lego WeDo. They seem new, and pretty cool, albeit pretty limited.

The nice things about the MindStorms is that they are very flexible— you can build simplistic project (a basic 4 wheel car that you can program to move around) or extremely advanced projects (people have built rubik's cube solver using mindstorms).

If your 5 year old really gets into them, he'll probably use them for years.
By lowering this barrier doesn't it introduce learning bad technique. When you play guitar and your hands are not physically capable of performing certain chord voicings, the end result is a bad sounding chord. However, with practice you develop the flexibility, finger independence, and strength to perform the chord properly. Where is the incentive to gain proper technique if everything you play sounds good or is very forgiving.
I think the price could be a problem. I know lots of people who 'wanted to learn to play guitar', bought the equipment, and gave up within a month or two. They didn't really lose out as you can get a second hand guitar and amp for under $100. This is around $450 (not to mention the cost of the iPhone) - not really in the price range of someone who wants to learn guitar. You can get some nice 'real' guitars for that price.

Might not look cool, but if the iPhone dock was on the top part of the body (on the thin surface, rather than on the body surface), then you would be able to look at the iPhone as you're playing. Currently, you can either look at the strings or on the iPhone, where you almost have to look backwards to look at the iPhone. As a beginner guitar player, learning would be easier if I could see the tabs and my strings at the same time. my 2c.

Reminds me a bit of the Eigenharp: http://www.eigenlabs.com/

uhh, there's no reason for them to settle after the judgment. They've already won everything they could possibly hope for, and the appeal too.
It's the format and it's not for everyone. More preparation might help – some similar podcasts on 5by5 and elsewhere have more structure –, but was probably not John Gruber's style. Sometimes I liked it, sometimes not. I wasn't too happy about the first episode of the 'new' podcast but I'll certainly listen to some future episodes.

Kind of late to the game, but David - or anyone else for that matter - I'm deaf too, and happy to talk with you about it.

In a nutshell: don't let deafness define you. It's hard, dispiriting work at times, but believe me, there's opportunity out there in all aspects of life if you approach things with the right can-do spirit (yes, this includes finding a partner - I'm exceptionally fortunate in that regard myself :-D ).
Yeah, I don't see them as mutually exclusive and actually, we are currently measuring what return on (time) investment the different sources have. Thanks for your insights.

To clarify, my intention was not to post a question on Twitter and see what happens but to react to people that actually talk / complain / ask for help with something that we can help with i.e. someone talks about wanting pictures with their contacts and we can help.
Having worked at a library providing computer tutoring and assistance, I can absolutely believe such studies. You say "using the mouse right-button shortcuts" - the vast majority of people don't know these exist, or if they do, no idea how to use them (or what a "context-sensitive" menu is). When I guide my grandmother through something over the phone, I often have to specify whether she needs to click or double-click something - which I find so obvious now as to not even think about. Go figure.
Dev Kits ship for free to 20,000 developers in 1-3 months.

Pre-orders are for consumers at $70 and ship this winter.

The idea is to give all the hackers maximum access to create awesome apps and then deliver a healthy shiny ecosystem to the consumer. Also, we'd like to see a larger shift towards people creating things, so encouraging early adopters to get aboard the coding train is a positive trend.

It's a huge new interaction space, and we're looking for innovators to explore it!
I find it quite easy to find a correlation between countries that dubs their TV/movies with poor English comprehension.

It really helps and without it people wouldn't be in contact with English that often (at least before the internet) and if you never refresh your knowledge it will most definitely fade. Yes, we start learning English at an early age but a lot of students excel way faster than teaching allows once they get over the initial hurdle (much thanks to TV and internet).

As a Swede I feel that we are quite good at understanding English but we are quite poor (comparatively) at speaking it (although we can often make ourselves understood it isn't pretty), which isn't that surprising considering how seldom most people in Sweden need to talk in English (but we constantly consume it).

Compare France and Germany with Sweden and I think the biggest advantage that Sweden has is that we don't dub any movies or TV (except for cartoons and movies targeted towards small children). That and that people in France tend to get upset every time the are reminded that french isn't the only language in the world.
Final reasons might be another point why podcasts without much preparation and only the necessary minimum of post-production are common. I don't know the economics of podcast networks but a post-production infrastructure similar to traditional media would probably be go beyond the financial scope.
Michael, thou doth protest too much. You were teaching them how to walk up to influential people and make their acquaintance. Safer shorthanded that to "handshaking and eye contact" to make it simpler (and yes, to play into the geek stereotype). Welcome to television. If you're that thin-skinned, it's probably a medium you should stay away from.
I reckon this has mostly come about through the shift of guitar being seen as an instrument and more as a faux artistic accessory of a person's identity. Like those people who have guitars hung on their bedroom/living room walls, or on a stand but never play.
Maybe for normal people being deaf would be a huge disability, but as a nerd, I would rather be deaf than even just have really bad (uncorrectable) eyesight.

Professionally, you could absolutely live a full life as an individual contributor while deaf with minimal accomodation. It might be hard to be an entrepreneur or senior manager, just due to the large number of in-person meetings required, but even that could be worked around (missing out on the informal communications would be a problem in some places). I would have zero problem working with a deaf engineer where all communication had to be by IM/irc/email/commit, vs. verbal; it would be just like a remote worker, which we have huge experience with as a profession now. I mean, I IRC with people in the same room to avoid distracting other people, to be more clear, and to produce a record. A deaf coworker would basically mean I could wear my HD600 open headphones instead of my DT770 closed headphones, that we'd need a visual paging system and alarm, and not a whole lot more. I've worked with people who spoke such horrible English that it was far preferable to have them write vs. speak, too.

I agree the "growing up deaf" part might be a lot different (and probably worse), but as an adult, if you suddenly went deaf (as has happened to me on several occasions), not a huge problem.

Looking for a workplace with a lot of remote workers is probably the best way to be a first-class team member while deaf.

I agree, but on the other hand, Dan always says "it's your show" whenever they need to make a decision about something.

Dan also often refrains from correcting or informing Gruber at times when he's unsure or is wrong about something, much to Gruber's disappointment the following episode when Gruber has found it out, again with Dan excusing himself with saying "it's your show".

If I were to venture a guess, Gruber would prefer a co-host that contributes to, rather than mostly guides, the conversation.
