Your emotional active downvoting will not make any my statements false. All I said in this thread is true. GPL-licensed code is viral: GPL in any library expands itself to the whole work; and it is illegal to distribute solely binary file, statically linked with LGPL-licensed library.

Why do you think OpenOffice is under LGPL? Who is going to statically or dynamically link with that "library"? They are using LGPL because they don't want copyleft to infest every code bundled with their code in the 'collective', or 'derived' work.

That is the difference between strong copyleft and weak copyleft, and you should have educated yourself before using downvote button.

Ask HN: Is there any product like Hypercard?
Hypercard celebrated its 25 years of existence, but doesn't exist now. Many say, it was a precursor to the hypertext protocol.

I still don't see what hypercard did 25 years ago. It gave non-programmers an ability to build quasi-programmed documents, called cards. As I see now, hypertext protocol and its usage is limited to authoring mails and seeing some pages built by specialists, called as web developers. Many web developers (including me) can not give proper justice to the hypertext powered documents, so called sites.

Can we celebrate Hypercard's 25th anniversary by creating web authoring tool that non-programmers can use to create beautiful sites containing images, videos and off course formatted (styled) text content? I know there would be many claims to such an ability. But looking at what Apple's world view of creating something that is easy to use and JUST WORKS, I don't see any web tool can ever come anywhere near to Hypercard.

You are repeating a point of view you do not understand.

You don't know WHY people started saying that, WHEN they started and WHO started.

It was started by old people a while ago who told even older people that for the simple stuff they were writing for DESKTOP computers, it didn't matter anymore.

Indeed, if you have a 486dx4 and all you want to do is word processing, it didn't matter much wether it was optimized or microsoft word as the thing was way too powerful for that kind of stuff already.

Today, battery life is a concern, virtualization is a reality, scalability is a CORE issue, there are low power states etc.

Today, making your application 100 times more efficient gives you 10x more battery life,100x lower cloud hosting costs, 100x better scalability, etc.

Think that's unlikely ? You've been stacking inefficient blocks for a lifetime, sometimes with inefficiencies multiplying, where do you think you are today ?

Simple example, from a pgsql>jdbc>jboss>j2ee>hibernate>java report factory to a dumb php script that did simple SQL, you already have factors above 20 in favor of the simple solution.

That's before you make a better data model or even try using a fast language or a more suiting data store depending on your needs.

Besides, your argument is nonsense, the simplest most correct way IS the most efficient, that's the power of programming, there is absolutely NO compromise between reliability and efficiency in terms of code.

Readability is over rated, as long as you don't code crap, any COMPETENT coder will be able to read and understand fast enough, even without comments.

Do you work on overweight UIs that drain phone batteries or cloud-hosted applications or anything that needs scaling ?

In the UserVoice site linked on the announcement there is a feature request to remove ALL CAPS. It already has 2000 votes, maybe they could change their mind? After all, they did for the colors given the huge feedback.

You can understand graphs without remembering a theorem about adjacent graphs. I know a lot of people that would score 100% in all the quiz that don't have a intuitive understanding of algorithm. What you want in a programmer is the latter, not the book remembered verbatim.
Thanks re: the page.

Weird to see no other feedback from anyone else - maybe I just picked the wrong time to post this seeing as how most of the US are asleep. :-/
"...is based on interviews...with current and former American, European and Israeli officials... None would allow their names to be used..."

Not exactly confirmed, but at least there are a few more details being (intentionally?) leaked. Good ole NYT is always ready to spill the words of unnamed 'officials', but the more interesting question is why, or why now?
Mr. Obama, according to officials in the room, asked a series of questions, fearful that the code could do damage outside the plant. The answers came back in hedged terms. Mr. Biden fumed. “It’s got to be the Israelis,” he said. “They went too far.”

In fact, both the Israelis and the Americans had been aiming for a particular part of the centrifuge plant, a critical area whose loss, they had concluded, would set the Iranians back considerably. It is unclear who introduced the programming error.

I guess it's naive to think they might be using git and could resolve this with a simple `git blame`...
Key takeaway: The devil is in the detail.

I think that Apple sees this as not being user hostile. If you want packages installed then you have to use the appstore and in app downloads. This has the advantage of being a consistent experience across all apps. Users do not need to fear in app downloads, or get confused by them they get the same experience every time. Obviously this hurt geeks like us who have no problem using a more exotic system, but in general it favours the bulk of Apples user base.

Note that this applies to purchases as well, if you give the app money its always through the same interface. Users see spending money in iOS as being painless and danger free.

Do I wish I had more power over my iPad? Sure do, but Apple doesn't care about us, they care about the 90% of users who are less sophisticated then us.

So now countries will fight cyber war, then what? cyber defense systems. So humans will never learn lessons, will they? How far is Skynet?
It becomes a war when you do it openly.

And this sort of thing is nothing new, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_pipeline_sabotage for example, and there is lots more.

The way you react is with total silence - you don't want anyone to know you were vulnerable. And that's also why these types of activities tend not to escalate.

Personally, if countries have to fight I'd prefer they do it quietly like this rather than open war. It's a lot easier to ratchet down the tensions when there has been no rhetoric about the enemy.

For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Israeli_airstrike_in_Syria - mostly silence on both parties part and no increase in hostilities.

Support CISPA! Because you don't mind, right?
A few errors (corrections sent) but worth a read. It was the first computer shipped containing an ARM, the ARM 2. Ignore the crummy looking screenshots of Arthur; the WIMP was usable in Arthur for single-tasked applications but a very-nice co-operative multi-tasking desktop came with RISC OS 2.0.

It had features I still miss today, e.g. drag a scrollbar thumb with Adjust (X's Button3) instead of Select (B1) and you were panning that scrollbar and its partner in the other axis. Adjust often did similar to Select but with a tweak, e.g. the pop-up context menu with Menu (B2) could have an item selected with Select and would disappear but use Adjust and the menu, possibly several deep, remained opened. How often today do you have to re-navigate to a nearby place to select a second item? Select on a scrollbar's up arrow scrolls up, Adjust down; no need to move to the other end of the bar. Same goes with paging by clicking to the side of the thumb.
I could be wrong, but I don't think this is speculation:

* Iran funds Hezbolla: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funding_of_Hezbollah

* Iran funds the Islamic Jihad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Jihad_Organization

* Iran funds Hamas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Israel_relations#I...

* Example of suicide bombing by the Islamic Jihad: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2145621/Family-Danie...

I understand this is a highly-loaded political issue in the states, but, for Israel, Iranian funded terrorism is a threat in and of itself, nuclear weapon or not.
Wow, great analysis. Thanks.

That scene didn't really bother me in Tron; I cut them a bit of slack for the use of a convincing Unix shell (also Emacs: http://jtnimoy.net/workviewer.php?q=178), but Tron's never been about realistic computing. And yeah, I was sold on the music + cooler lightcycles.

Where to find designers?
He guys,

I'm a developper (mobile app / webapp) and I'm looking for designer to launch few projects that I've realized. I won't launch them without a "good" design and so with a real user experience.
It's why I'm looking for a designer.

Indeed, as a developper I can do some simple designs but they're not really interestings, they aren't originals. They work and they're clean but they're not really smooth/comfortable. They are too commums...

I'm a student and I don't want to make these projects a business, so, I need to meet volunteer designers or students. Of course, projects can become a business if they're really great and if people enjoy it but it's not the main goal.

So, someone has already lived this situation ? Seeking a volunteer designer.
Or do you have advices about it, what is your experience ? Searching on social network, how to convince people to work on your ideas for $0.

Or should I just learn design and try to do it myself ?

Any project that builds using Maven does that all the time!

(And really it's not simply a question of "non-free" -- there are plenty of open source licenses that are incompatible with the GPL. Is this technically a workaround for the incompatibility between Apache v2 and GPL v2?)

But a non-free villain could bootstrap a build using Maven without even publishing their source at all -- just keep a Maven repository with their binary jars and and a pom.xml that specifies dependencies on a whole bunch of GPL libraries.

Is there a provision against it? I hope so, but I haven't found it yet.

i remember seeing "Chocks" (a flight sim) on the Archimedes at school when i was about seven. It was the most amazing thing i'd ever seen. There was only one Archimedes at school and everyone crowded around it, but there was a load of BBC Micros, so I sat down and started (very slowly) typing in pages and pages of printed out basic programs to see what they did. I'd probably never have become a programmer without that.

The entire Google interview process is slanted that way. They keep making you feel privileged for being able to take that interview, and almost never try to make you sell the company to you.
Keep in mind that I specified that this is an optimal solution for this particular map. General solutions are great, but if you have additional information for leverage, you use it. In fact, as stated in explanation of the solution, the solution solves maps which the following precedence preference: Right > Left > Straight. Just FYI, it's not a bug if you understand the limitations of a solution.

General solutions for mazes (graphs really) generally follow a depth, breadth or hybrid approach. I'm actually surprised that all of the general solutions have been depth and none breadth. It's a bit more convoluted in this case as you'd have to traverse backwards, but conceptually, it's no more different than using a FIFO or LIFO.

In any case, with the tools given for this particular "challenge," a general graph search is impossible as you can't record previous states. It's simple to construct a map which causes an infinite loop.

A good analogy of my approach would be using a knowledge based finite state machine over a genetic algorithm or neural net. Is it less elegant? Sure is. However, it's also clearly defining a particular problem / solution pair with certain limitations and expectations.
The difference is that the US doesn't threaten to wipe countries off the map. Iran is an evil theocracy and can't be trusted with nuclear weapons. Drawing moral equivalencies between the US and a totalitarian terrorist state is ridiculous. It's like comparing North Korea with Belgium.
It was full, now I expanded it, but the old data is still heavily fragmented.

It's worth noting that Reifeid generics also have their limitations. I believe Haskell also does a similar level of erasure. Reified generics makes it harder to include higher order types and so the level of abstraction in Scala's collections or monad transformers would be much harder without type erasure. Haskell's type system is better at keeping the annoyance of erased types away by not just casting every thing to a top type.
Generating B2B and B2C leads systematically
Still, the blocky code reads "count with i from 0 to (get n)", but the loop generated is accessing A[0-1]..A[n-1]. JavaScript is forgiving here, but A[0..n] is not the same as A[-1..(n-1)] (at least I'm not familiar enough with JavaScript to think otherwise).
Lets not forget, when the government does it, it's OK.

Can we get over the "our leaders are altruistic" thing? Once power is obtained they cite "saving the people from n" as the excuse for power expansion. Isn't using fear to control societies going to get old at some point? The path we are on can be traced from the "Tower and Fundamental Physics".
It was really easy in BBC Basic to drop in some inline assembler whenever you needed to. It wouldn't surprise me if Arthur was really a mix of Basic and inline ARM assembler. Anyone ever seen the source code?
I love performance counters and good profile tools. But the whole point of knowning this stuff is to get a handle on expected performance before you have written a line of code. Then you can make good decisions about what to do. Later the profile tools can help you fix what is broken when your code doesn't match expectations.
