That's where I'd go. Just pop in your domain and it should list links to you. As a "pro" member you can better group the searches by "ranking" (a good measure of how much that link is seen), or domain, meaning all sites hosted at one site would be grouped making browsing the list easier.

People should write books about that sort of thing. You know how everybody thinks their lives are completely normal and boring, but from the outside, they are filled with strange things? Nobody outside of China has any idea what it is like to live there. Any novel about daily Chinese live should be interesting.

In a similar vein, I remember how weird it sounded to me when an american friend told me in texas there are such big malls that people go there for working out (running) indoors.

Before we forked LedgerSMB, the SQL-Ledger author's attitude was that unless you can exploit the software without logging in it doesn't count. It's only accounting software anyway so why would anyone want to break in? Not only that but timestamps were perfectly acceptable as session id's and they didn't even have to be stored on the server, just checked to see if they were recent.

Thus began years of efforts on our part of security fixes, which I would not have started except that I had customers to support.

Hehe, I was expecting to get an "X already does that" reply pretty quickly.

Surely this needs to be promoted more heavily to website developers, especially those behind major sites like linkedin. I'd never heard of it myself and I'm sure a lot of others haven't either.

If some of the bigger sites started adopting it, awareness would grow very quickly and we could greatly reduce the risks involved with every website storing password info for all their users.
I used lua to create a simple AI. This AI can learn words and store them in a dictionary. It can link one word with another, having some resemblance or relationship. Also I implemented a "emotional link" between them; one word can be either in a GOOD or BAD relationship with another. Like the word "rat" will have a BAD relationship with "cat". It is based on meaning of words, rather than acting like a mere processor of vocabulary crawler!
This AI can communicate with me.. asks me questions that it generates from meaningful concepts. Ofcourse, it is very basic right now and makes errors. But it will grow.
The bottomline is that you must implement "from the roots". Perception and recognition are built over these roots. Hope you got on idea what I am attempting to build.

If you're talking the complete lack of taxes, then sure, but there have been very few actual examples of that.

One of which was the USA, which almost completely lacked taxes for the fastest period of its growth, most of the 19th century. Look up the average tax haul in relation to GDP for the US during the 19th century. The US relied heavily on tariffs instead of personal or corporate income taxes or sales taxes.

Low taxes combined with strong property rights & a strong judicial have proven to produce spectacular economic booms.

The US from 1800 to 1970, modern Singapore, and modern Hong Kong for example.

Estonia's substantial economic growth after liberalization post USSR, and ditto Ireland's big economic boom after slashing its corporate taxes (doubled their per capita income in a mere 15 years, passing Britain).

Sweden has seen a significant boom after massively cutting taxes in the last few decades.

New Zealand ditto. New Zealand boomed with their tax cutting programs:

"New Zealand went through a major program of tax reform in the 1980s. The top marginal rate of income tax was reduced from 66% to 33% (increased to 39% in April 2000, 38% in April 2009 and 33% on 1 October 2010) and corporate income tax rate from 48% to 33% (reduced to 30% in 2008 and to 28% on 1 October 2010)."
I really hope that Map and Set will be iterable as described here: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:iterators otherwise, in my opinion, they will be pretty useless.

m.set(undefined, 1);
console.log(m.get(undefined));

For what it's worth, when I heard about the vote, I saw that the voter turnout requirement was absurd (for an online vote on a single service like this) - so it was obviously a fake 'vote' Facebook didn't really want to happen.

What ever happened to public disclosure as soon as a patch is released?

I have been bit twice by problems relating to difficulties getting security fixes/announcements out in time. In my defence I was trying to patch a difficult codebase and this just took a long time. For example, there was a full SQL injection audit that took us two months to complete early on, and there was an issue of XSRF vulnerabilities which could not be effectively patched in a production release.

But waiting a month to announce the security issue after the release was out strikes me as hard to justify.

Is there any way you can control the number of native threads in go ? I wrote a small go example that used net/smtp to bombard myself with emails. Just a loop that fired off a goroutine, which each sent an email.

It was quite disturbing that firing off several thousand goroutines resulted in several thousand native threads - resulting the system trashing. If I inserted a very small pause between creating the go routines, this did not occur and just 1 or 2 native threads were created. I tried the runtime.GOMAXPROCS, to no awail. Is there any way of controlling this kind of behavior ?

Zerorpc (http://github.com/dotcloud/zerorpc-python) uses msgpack as its primary serialization format. Among other things it is significantly more efficient for floating point data. At dotCloud we use it to move many millions of system metrics per day, so it adds up. Also worth noting: msgpack maps perfectly to json, so there's nothing keeping you from translating it to json on its way to the browser, where json is indeed a better fit. In practice this doesn't affect performance since you typically need to parse and alter the message at the browser boundary anyway, for some sort of access control.

Others have put this differently. But my experience working at a startup before and watching both the founder and marketing manager tells me there's a difference in startups. Atleast the one i was at. The founder had a vision that was pretty impossible to transfer to someone with all the nuances and subtle differences. And when someone(experienced too) else was marketing, he missed out/dropped out all those subtle differences, and was just practicing his Always Be closing principle. Maybe all startups don't have the same quality/problem. Maybe some startups are very fine calculated risks, that can and do manage to transfer/communicate their vision easily.
I +1 that. I have working experience with MessagePack and I can confirm it works for the following use cases:

* RPC communication between servers where binary data is exchanged and its structure is not always the same (ie. difficult to use something that requires an IDL).

* Serialization and storage of objects that will be sent over the network (note: you can batch MessagePack objects just by concatenating them).

* Communication between a server and a native mobile application. Native applications live in a binary world whereas Web applications live in a text-based world where JSON is better.

The human readability argument is poor: the JSON that is sent over a network is not usually human readable, so you would use a prettyfier to read it anyway. Moreover a MessagePack message is standalone / self-describing, ie. you don't need an IDL description to read it. So in both case, reading the message is just adding another block to a pipeline...

I'm sorry, are those spectacular bridges, incredible amount of roads and immaculately clean cities being sustained by the informal tax-evading economy? You can't praise both "worlds" without turning a hair.
A friend of mine works in film, so I know the ballpark costs from conversations with him. You can find production costs for films on the net fairly easily.

Puss in Boots, for example was $130 million and Kung Fu Panda 2 was around $150 million. So you're looking at 1.25m to 1.5m per minute.
Your goods come from somewhere regardless, and whether they are delivered to a store or to your home they have to travel that distance just the same. But with delivery trucks the miles driven by the trucks are amortized over all of the deliveries made.

> Sweden has seen a significant boom after massively cutting taxes in the last few decades.

Sweden also saw a huge boom while massively raising their taxes post-WW2! And its cuts were, overall, from the highest taxes in the world, to the... 2nd-highest taxes in the world, now just barely losing out to Denmark by 1% of GDP. The correlations seem pretty complex.

In Europe, I don't see any real causal connection between tax rates and strength of the economy. If anything, there appears to be a bit of a causal connection in the opposite direction: weaker, less-developed countries have lower tax rates in order to try to lure businesses from better-developed countries. By percentage of GDP, these are the five highest-tax EU countries: Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, France, Norway. The five lowest-tax are: Lithuania, Romania, Switzerland, Latvia, Ireland.

And Germany, which has probably the strongest business sector in Europe, is towards the top; at 41% of GDP taxation, closer to Denmark's 49% than Lithuania's 21% (or the USA's 27%). Its high-tax but pro-market "social market economy" seems to be pretty successful overall.

Unfortunately Oracle's stewardship of MySQL appears to be a closed model.

> the jobs kept or created domestically thrown into the value calculation.

The thing is, this is not creating much jobs. Far less than it replaces. On the global level, this causes job loss. I loath luddites, but we need to understand that, and to understand that the obstacles won't be technological but political.
Instead of complex rules about what assets are exempt, I'd favor just a significant blanket exemption sufficient to cover small-time farmers and small businessmen. Say, no inheritance tax on the first $10m in assets, a small rate on $10m-$100m, and quite high rates thereafter. And eliminate all these shenanigans with trusts.

Only the structural changes which are some form of rename. Refactoring is more than renaming. What eclipse provide is a very limited form of refactoring. Most of the refactoring is to be done by the programmer and can't be done by the IDE.

> Pretty much anything is better at dependency management than bundler/gem.

Yeah. How so?

> If you have to compile your dependencies at install time you're probably doing something wrong.

1. There is no compilation when the code is ruby.

2. When there are native extensions, the compilation is required. Dev platform isn't the same as production most of the times, and precompiled so can't be bundled up.

3. If there are only ruby dependencies, `bundle package` will pack them in vendor/cache and next `bundle install` will install from the cache.

From my personal experience, the stigma outsourcing carries is not per se due to outsourcing itself. I work in a non-tech company and work a lot with our internal IT on both internal and external developments. And one thing they have in common is that the actual testing is done once the development is done. And there I don't see any difference between internal and external dev.

What is sure on the other hand is that if dev is outsourced, and I mean like in we buy it from someone who has some code crunchers on the other side of earth with a liason (again subcontracted) aat our place, is that internal developers have some acquired knowledge of processes and the business.

My personal opinion is, if you find some way to conduct tests and reviews during the development, your product will be less-bug ridden, more userfriendly and ready faster. And if you can pull this, it doesn't matter who does the development. Again, time and distance play a role, but that's not exclusive to outsourcing.

What non-tech companies usually do on the other hand is providing some specs, give them to some external big-name, hope everything goes fine and then conduct some final tests under high time pressure two weeks before go live. And when that doesn't work, they blame outsourcing while it's actually the process that is broken.

But that's actually good news for all the start-ups out there!

Fortunately, GHC can build shared libraries on some platforms, which makes it fairly easy to expose Haskell functions to C:

- Using the FFI one can specify foreign exports.

- The runtime and garbage collector can be initialized/deinitialized by adding an object file that uses gcc's constructor/destructor attributes.

- Multiple calls to hs_init (one for each library) are allowed, as long as they are balanced by hs_exits.

- It's ok to have multiple root modules.
