It only increases the subsection of hardware I won't buy. Thanks for making my choice easy.
It's about the type system.

Dynamic, weak typing makes writing static analysis/refactoring/etc tools extremely hard, but more importantly makes nearly any compile-time guarantees impossible. Having your app crash because of a small typo of a member name is impossible in C++/C#/Java. It happens to me almost once a day with Node/JS.
Agreed. Also note that the (Latin) Centum (pronounced Ken-tum) form has to be overall an older form than Satam due to the missing consonants and palatization noted in the latter.

The current thinking as far as I can tell is that Indo-Iranian (basically the ancestor of Sanscrit and Avestan) was the latest branch to break off of common Indo-European, though I think these models always oversimplify.

The most archaic attested Indo-European language is actually Hittite, possibly followed by Tocharian.
Is there a server admin guide for noobs?
Hi HN,

I was building this app the other day and because I'm a complete cloud server noob I deploy all my apps onto phpfog.com but there really lacking some features essential to my web app so I was really hoping to take the time to learn linux servers.

I've used rackspace in the past but nothing more than copying and pasting commands from a tutorial so when it comes to anything beyond the scope of what's in it I become stumped so I really need to learn how to fish in this case.

I want to become more acquainted with servers like Centos so does anybody know where I should get started?

Thanks a lot
I assume Microsoft will want to have secure booting devices that ship with Windows, because Hollywood and other content producers require a secure OS so their DRM is safer. If they would allow non-secure boot, it might be difficult or impossible to get video and music content licensed from the major producers on the platform.
"structure of a language" is a pretty vague claim. Arguably one could conclude that Roman Numerals have the structure of a language too, but I wouldn't conclude from such a claim that roman numerals encode spoken language in durable form. Rather they are communicative in function, but through an illustrative rather than spoken frame of reference (Roman Numerals illustrate positions on a tally stick).

It's just done well. It has stood the test of time, and seen nearly 30 years of development in multiple, competing irc server products. A lot of rivalry and different views and attitudes to certain strategies.

IRC is amazing. Servers are linked as leaves to hubs, or as hubs, linking to other hubs or leaves. If the network splits (one server goes down, breaking the tree) it can be quickly relinked to secondary or tertiary servers, restoring connectivity. For its time, and even to this day, it is an impressive protocol that is not only fairly easy to implement from a client perspective, but a very scalable chat server architecture.
You definitely can create classes in JavaScript, its just not especially convenient.

But to me its not really a critical issue, because OOP is very easy in CoffeeScript, which is my favorite language and happens to compile to JavaScript.

This rings very true to me too, as our entire application is written in Perl. As much as I do like the language, the lack of just about any static guarantees mean we regress an awful lot. Yes, we have unit tests, but until we have 100% coverage we have gaps for regressions that a compiler could have picked up.
Some researchers are finding evidence that fiction improves a person's ability to empathize by sharpening their theory of mind. And by empathy I mean more than just being able to comfort people well. I mean the ability to know that She knew that he knows that they think she thinks they know about her top secret project. This level of intentionality is useful for making optimal decisions and navigating complex social scenarios, the best authors have one or 2 more levels than the average of 4 .

Reading a sensory description actually activates the respective areas in the brain, a bona fide simulation of reality. The reason reading can absorb one so much is that the brain is actually generating signals that are essentially the same as if the person was actually experiencing the phenomenon* .

Better than common sense, scientific evidence is actually showing that reading has measurable beneficial effects.

One of the most interesting books out there on civilization collapse is "The Collapse of Complex Civilizations" by Joseph Tainter.

His thesis is that the primary driver of civilization collapse is actually complexity, and that as societies face problems, such as ecological problems, or invasions from outside, usually, they solve these problems by adding social complexity. For example Rome tried to solve the problem of diminishing agricultural returns by binding farmers to their land.

As Prof. Tainter puts it, these societies run into trouble when they have to make large investments in order to maintain their current way of life.

If this pattern holds out, it may be that the more advanced a civilization is, the more vulnerable it is to collapse due to pressures of this sort. In other words, at some point, the complexity becomes self-defeating and civilization crumbles.
Kill Computer Problems not Performance
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Microsoft isn't doing this to ban Ubuntu / Linux in general, but to prevent Android from spreading. With ICS being a great OS, many (tech) folks would simply dual-boot ICS on their WinRT devices.
We've yet to see any mobile device where running another OS than the bundled one have been anything but a nightmare. This is done everywhere, android manufacturers constantly try to lock users in their own android shell, not to mention apple.

These devices are not multipurpose devices, they are built for a specific purpose and tailormade for that and nothing else. It is not in any sense equivalent to desktop/laptop-computers. Which is kind of apparent considering the limitations that Windows Phone, Android and iOS amount to.

Since Microsoft have expressed that secure boot must be optional on x86 it is quite easy to justify this rationally without resorting to the popular "typical evil Microsoft tactics" argument.

Anyone doing a large project in an weakly-typed language will eventually spend more time writing unit tests than features.

No-one should even be thinking about unit tests if they are not already using a language in which all code paths can be evaluated and type-checked at compile time. Why get a dog and bark yourself?

I agree with the sugar-free, but often they replace it with something worse.

Actually anything natural, organic food is stimulating the body, while anything artificial, fabricated food is destroying the body.

I have both a Zipit Z2 and a Nanonote and thus can compare the keyboards of those devices. I'd say the layout of the Z2 keyboard is better than that of the Nanonote. On the Nanonote many characters are on weird keyboard positions (with multiple modifier keys) and the space button is very small. The Z2 keyboard is very loud (clicky), which I don't like very much, the Nanonote's keyboard is not. Here is a little comparison of the two devices: http://wejp.k.vu/zipit_z2/ben_nanonote_vs_zipit_z2

JavaScript lacks a real library/module system, namespaces and OOP facilities. I usually spend more time maintaining a JavaScript program than a program written in Java/C# with equivalent size.
That being said, my skills in JavaScript are limited.
There is also a new G+ App on iPhone (it was even released before the Android version). But doesn't the same objections apply to that like on Facebook or Dropbox? Privacy concerns, most people aren't on G+ and are locked out or limited disk space? Of course he could just send Video to Youtube or Vimeo but then there are other objections like that these are separated places from photos. In the past flickr was here king but now I also see many Photobucket.com links (if one wants to avoid Facebook). Their website says they also do video and have "unlimited space" but I don't know what other restrictions apply for a free (or paid) account. But as the OP I would look into it.

What the OP really wants is his automagical "Photostream" to be shareable and to also handle videos. The first seems logical. I think this is a large customer request and it would be the next logical step for Apple to do with Photostream. But I would bet against on Apple including videos. HD vids are just to large, would gobble up tons of space in the iCloud and burn through battery life/traffic with an automatic upload.
> everything that does not have classes is unmaintable

Not that javascript doesn't. It doesn't have the sugar around it, and it doesn't statically check them. But javascript's OO is not "prototype-based" (that doesn't even make sense, prototypes are not a unit of reuse in Self) and it's not anything even remotely close to Self's.

Javascript's OO is single-inheritance class-based with no `class` sugar but at the end of the day it behaves pretty much the same way (and offers no more features — less if anything) Python's or Ruby's class-based OO work (sans metaclasses).
>Though like many of Chicago’s boasts that number was probably inflated by including replacement trees.

My hackles go up whenever I see someone write "probably." If Mayor Daley did one thing right, he spent a lot of money improving the greenscape in the city. The most obvious change in the past 20 years (in my opinion) is the former site of the Lincoln Park Gun Club (http://www.lincolnparkconservancy.org/diversy_point.html). The article mentions that they removed 11 trees and planted 105. What used to be a fairly empty and stark promontory is now a glade of nice shade trees (http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM7G6Z_A_Signal_of_Peace_...).

Daley also added center lane parkways along Chicago's wider streets that add to the shade of the city.

I don't doubt that there are a replacement trees in the total, but I once heard Daley admonish an employee for replacing good trees with "buggy whips" just to get the numbers up.
A design should be appropriate. Overengineering costs time, money, performance and is harder to maintain due to complexity and bulk. Don't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back because you always overengineering. The only voice I ever hear is the voice of overengineering. Single-letter global variables are the right choice for 1,000 line programs that are demos for newbies. If it's 100,000, they should be long global variable names.

I wonder if we all agree what "large programs" are. Our team, for example, we are developing a "large program" in Java (Spring, JSF). It's 13'200+ .java files and total 54mb of source code + about 90mb of third party .jar (open source) library dependencies.

I don't think you could grow to that size codebase with Javascript.
Oh surely that's because it has too much static typing to be practical, it's not like there is much thought put in the argument or any desire to pursue the argument to its logical conclusion in these things.
I've thrown some hackathons at work and this is the model we always use. Friday after work + dinner we brainstorm and figure out what to do and then we might prototype a bit. Saturday we meet again refreshed and hack, we dont stay up to late and might even go for beers. Then we meet for another 4-5 hours on sunday to make a wrap of it.

Personally I can enjoy both the 24-hour/whatever-hour stretch and the weekend-with-rest style, but I find the first one to require working with someone with whom we feed energy to each other so we can maintain progress — I've just met one such person in my life and he doesn't live in the same country as me anymore.
So in the end I prefer the weekend style hackathon now as well.
Maybe side projects may actually just rock?
They typically introduce tighter constraints (otherwise they risk undermining 'main' projects) and yet they almost inevitably feel much more 'safe-fail'.
Isn't this special mixture likely to make side projects leaner, yet more 'outside the box' startups than main projects , combining an improvisation-encouraging restriction of resources with a creativity-inspiring 'fear-deficit'?

Indeed, and we are dependent on natural gas (for fertilizer) and petroleum supply (all manner of chemicals, fuels, etc) to grow things now.

Additionally I would point out that famines today are almost never problems of global distribution but rather local breakdowns in distribution. I.e. a small nation falls victim of civil war and consequently famine happens as well.

There are very real and open questions what our current approaches to agriculture can do as oil continues to become more expensive.

Basically, I think the thing is that we humans tend towards as high a population as we can manage and expect famines to control our population. We've been pushing the envelope by utilizing vast amounts of fossil fuels for a while, and GMO's are often sold on the promise of being even more energy intensive (spray more pesticides and your crops will survive).

This is not why you write tests. You write tests to be sure nothing breaks when you make changes.

And you should do this with any language, typed or not.
Not that I disagree, but in my experience a lot of the code in a Java application is just a workaround for the poor expressiveness of the language. A lot of the stuff one has to do in Java to get halfway decent encapsulation/abstraction is just not necessary if you use a more expressive language and write code in a more functional way. Not that JavaScript makes that particularly easy or that it's even a nice language, but it is more expressive than Java. With first class functions and closures alone a lot of the Java boilerplate just vanishes. Not that I want to defend JavaScript, I personally think it's a horrible language, especially for large programs. But I think Java seriously suffers from lack of expressiveness which results in an explosion of classes to implement convoluted design patterns and such. I hope it gets better with Java 8.
Twenty-something job seekers: Quit whining and get creative
I watched the video. Just to clarify, his argument is that it's hard to refactor large programs in javascript. In other words, it's likely that large web-applications written in javascript will be having difficulties to innovate. Only time will tell though...
You wouldn't need that size of a codebase with JavaScript...

Java was created (or adapted to) for the benefit of consultants. Therefore it requires complicated frameworks and you can not manage coding Java without an IDE. All this makes it easy for consultants to get long paying gigs.

Edit: thanks, downvoters! You are incredibly naive...
