In the interest of choice and healthy competition (and also in my own selfish interest, per the disclaimer above), I will point out that the arguments in this article apply to all good PaaS providers, of which there are plenty. As an insider in this particular crowd of vendors, I can tell you that the competition is fierce and it is entirely focused on delighting hackers - a trend which everyone here should be excited about.

- cloudfoundry.com/appfog/stackato/tier3 are competing deployments of the cloudfoundry open-source project by VMWare

- phpfog, pagodabox, orchestra: php-only

- engine yard: ruby-only, also the leader in revenue, probably by a wide margin ($28m)

- dotCloud: first multi-language paas, with a bunch of database services as well

- Openshift: previously Makara, now part of Red Hat. Also available open-source

- Djangozoom: django-only

- Nodejitsu, nodester, no.de: nodejs-only

- Cloudbees: Java only

- Azure: solid .Net stack, impressive database service. Didn't use it directly but I've heard it's a great product.

- AppHarbor: an alternate .Net provider

- App Engine: much more restrictive than the others, but super cohesive and a great product if you don't mind the straightjacket

For an example of signed overflow versus unsigned overflow, certain compilers are known to assume that int loop variables won't overflow. So "for (int i = 0; i != -1; ++i)" is transformed into "for (int i = 0; ; ++i)", since both are equal in the eyes of the C standard (both will iterate through all non-negative values that fit in an int, then both will invoke undefined behavior, so they are the same).

The funny part is that it's often better to use int exactly because of the undefined behavior on overflow. By signaling to the compiler that you don't intend to overflow a particular variable, it can optimize appropriately.

This is not the case, not by far. nanoc is aimed at building complex sites and hence has a lot more features than Stasis. Some examples:

- Items can contain arbitrary metadata in nanoc

- You can trivially build multiple representations of a single item in nanoc (e.g. a PDF/txt/html representation of a single markdown file)

- Dependency tracking in nanoc is fully automatic (no need to specify priorities)

- Nanoc is easily extensible using custom filters, custom deployers, custom helpers and more

Statis and nanoc have a different audience. To me, Stasis seems to be aimed at simpler, smaller sites, while nanoc is aimed at much more featureful sites. It is a good thing to have a lot of documentation (nanoc is frequently cited as a good example of how documentation should be handled).
I think I don't understand... On one side, you say that C isn't that complicated but on the other side you say you just use a small subset because you don't trust yourself and your colleagues to understand all the C quirks...

I think C is complicated with all the 191 undefined behaviors and 52 unspecified behaviors (source for these number is the paper that the author of the quiz wrote for specifying CSmith). One must master C before having absolutely knowledge that the code that he wrote doesn't fall into one of the two black-holes (undefined and unspecified behaviors). For instance, almost everyone that I ask, they tell me that dereferencing a NULL pointer yields 'Segmentation fault' but it's just not true. It's in fact undefined behavior.

The other thing is the rules for strict aliasing... It's pretty much impossible to convert one pointer to another without breaking some of the C rules. The experts say type punning is the way to go but type punning relies in another not defined behavior. Reading an element from an union that wasn't the last element written is undefined behavior.

You see it a lot in Korean movies and TV from the last decade. Very cool effect. I appreciated it in the excellent Sherlock series too, although in general season one was much more enjoyable/original/faithful than the second.
We are not necessarily talking about free here. Many people happily paid for MobileMe galleries. And there is yet to emerge a good successor, at least for me. Picasa seems to be the single alternative allowing for a similar workflow from within Aperture, though it is not as low-key visually and I'll have to consider whether I want to attache my albums to my Google account.
Another alternative... a virus which looks a lot like being coded by the NSA or a similar agency is now found and in the open to be analyzed by everyone. It turns out that it's using a Microsoft signature. Microsoft needs some explanation which isn't completely pissing off all it's customers in the middle east, or wait - let's make that any state-customers worldwide. Yeah, crazy conspiracy theory stuff, I'll put on my tin foil hat now.

The obvious question, the true cost of MS Windows is what again, you saving money?

Thi sis why ever Cyber Security CZar leaves Washington because the real problem is not security its MS Windows being unsecured by default and design.
I was considering going for GRE and then taking a break for 2 years to complete MS. I have not thought of night school and that does serve to be a very good option. Nevertheless, I would prefer to work in the US and study.

The last I went to work for Facebook in Ireland, I found that they gave me a much less salary and designation than that I would have got if I worked in India. This may not be correct since FB never told me that the reason was my lack of MS.

I have worked for MNCs like Yahoo and Juniper and also startups like iXiGO and iViZ. My position with Juniper as well as iXiGO was Senior System Administrator and Information Systems Architect respectively.

I am essentially looking at a Technical Manager or Architect position. I do develop for pleasure, but I am more into designing things and coding stubs rather than coding end to end.

I think that taking notes and studying specific important aspects of nonfiction and then practicing recalling and perhaps even incorporating into daily life that information is a great idea.

I believe that one will get much more out of that approach than just hoping that the subconscious or something will absorb the character or key details of a work.
Yes.

Maybe you could ask the user if it's okay to open the page after the installation.
that's right. what you're looking for is the transient changes (AC) in color due to increase blood perfusion whereas a person's baseline skin color can be considered the DC component.
The margin paragraph is simply too optimistic, margins now are good because there is still small to no competition, when competition will come, margins will drop.
Thank you so much for your response. I have worked for both MNCs like Yahoo and Juniper and startups like iXiGO. I have served as the Senior Engineer and Information Systems Architect for these positions.

I have mostly seen that the work culture in India is not what I like to work in. I have recently tried working for Facebook in Ireland. Apparently that did not work out very well either primarily because of the kind of work they gave me was mostly NOC sort of job. My take on why I was given such a job was because probably I did not have a MS and they did not take me seriously enough.

I have demonstrated taking companies from scratch through a PCI-DSS certification, so I am capable of doing better than NOC jobs. Also, I would like to work for or setup my company in the US.

Unfortunately, I do not know any HR or forum where I can ask this question.
Not dodgy, just a sleeping hard drive. Modern HD's sleep when unused and take that long to wake up - that's not really unusual. People just don't notice that as much if they have a single HD as that is usually active most of the time you are working. But with 2 HD's (typical SSD + HDD combination) you often have one HD sleeping and will run into this a lot more thereby. There's ways to work around it - putting the page file on the HD which is more active or not allowing the HD to sleep as often. But my favorite would still be to simply prevent Windows from even using the page-file before the memory is at least used up to 50% - which would nearly never happen on my system for example.
Sure there is. You just need code tracing and full test coverage. You can't do it from the source alone, sure, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.
Fortunately, with a few simple coding guidelines you can avoid major pitfalls.

1. Always do bit operations on unsigned types.

2. Never overflow signed types.

3. Always shift less than the type width. I can name architectures which implement large shifts in three distinct ways.

4. Know that most integers get promoted to int or unsigned, so you need an explicit cast to get 64 bits on most platforms. So 1ULL << 48 is okay, 1U << 48 is bad.

5. Treat unsigned int / unsigned long as contagious, just like float and double.
Sorry but the entire article sounds more like an ad than anything. It offers nothing new other than say "hey we did this project but we are not really talking about this project wink wink"
In a sense this their continued existence is a testament to the post UN conquest-is-illegal world order. It's not as clean as that (the US has a substantial military presence in Bahrain, for example), but still.It would be hard to imagine such weak, rich, independent patches of land remaining that way for long in any other period.

For now though they seem to be comfortably clustered. Out of all these mini states though, only Kuwait borders a poorer more powerful state (it was invaded in the 90s and was repelled by the US/UN).
I remember trying to compute the Swartzschild radius of the universe during my GR class and thinking it was compatible with the whole universe being inside a black hole.

According to wikipedia [1] it turns out it's a bit smaller than that, but the same order of magnitude.

Maybe, does it work well in a darkened room?

Baby monitors should probably be IR based; then this would appear to be a great addition allowing a pulse to be determined from the video feed.

Current baby monitors use a pad underneath to detect movement including breathing.

Personally, we used the "you can hear them screaming half-a-mile away" method of baby monitoring.
That is an awesome idea.

Smart way for the west to get back the oil money they 've paid. These investments are impressive, but like dubai and abu dhabi and other gulf countries, they are built on rather bizarre premises. The native population, no matter how educated does not have the strongest work ethics (due to being rich and having many things for free), and immigrants, who are invariably the majority of the population, are not exactly welcome to stay there.

It's one thing paying your way to magnificent skyscrapers, but education is arts and sciences, not buildings and expensive professors.

IIRC, electricity is used to activate the release of neurotransmitters (intercellular communication is actually chemical, not electrical); the more interesting things are what governs the activation potential, the weights of the inputs and the connections between neurons. assuming that you can modify the activation potential across an axon, you still won't change the relative weights of its inputs or the neuron's connections...
If the face of a "patient" was tied to his bed, and light wasn't changing, and there was no movement around (i.e. in ideal conditions), then yeah.

But in the real world scenarios you want to take a look at more than one pixel, and use the rest of the picture for noise reduction & calibration.

That is for heartbeat. But yes, with better spectral resolution you might get some other cool data.

I think the problem is there are too many "me too start-ups" that have created a stereotype against social media start up that actually have a different and real business model.

However if there are problem in health,education etc, why not invest the time to be wasted on a social product that may fail, on an actual problem in the other areas?
One solution outside of facebook is services like yogile, where anyone can add to an album without creating an account , as long as the album owner has one. The flaw is the lack of iPhone or android apps, and no external API to hack that in a clean(approved) way.
Anders Hejlsberg: You Can't Maintain Large Programs in JavaScript.
I thought this was quite insightful:

"I had another habit I wanted to break – checking my phone for texts, emails, Facebook, Twitter, and news as soon as I woke up. I wanted to stop doing this because it pulled me into the reactive world of other people’s needs, focuses, and demands on my sacred morning hours."

I have to keep battling to avoid falling into the consumer mindset. As soon as I start reading Facebook, Twitter, Hacker News etc, I can almost feel switching out of creator mode and into a consumer.

There's so much interesting accessible content out there nowadays, and it's all optimised to hold your interest. Usually, reading this will be more immediately gratifying than the work that goes into actually building something.

I definitely think there would be a productivity boost to saving all of that consumption till the end of the day.

I don't agree. Even if they point direct to their product it is good to see that you don't need a big VC in these times to start something new. And to get money out with it.

Wait wait, all questions in this quiz are not really about C but about the form in which numbers are stored in computer and consequences of that -- C just expresses them in raw way, but other languages also suffer from this quirks, either directly or via performance/accuracy jumps.

overall, we did a lot of what you suggested at PennApps. I think the key is to provide an avenue for both types of hackers: if you want to stay up all night, we have Red Bull and late-night give-aways. If you want to sleep, we have a quiet area with portable hammocks or sleeping bags. Healthy food is available throughout and organized exercise is available to those who seek it out.

I had a look at the page source and didn't find anything remotely "dangerous" there. There's just a bit javascript to (de)obfuscate the author's email address, the rest is pretty standard stuff.

Now, I'm asking myself: "What's wrong with tools like Fortiguard?"

Why? Because currently it's cheap and relatively easy. Qatar is a small, rich and young (relatively) country. For now it's easy to fund education because government income is relatively high compared to expenses.

Eventually those new paved highways will need to be refurbished, bridges and tunnels will need to be rebuilt, the population will get older and require more medical coverage. And private insurance will do their damnedest to make sure those old fogies are offloaded to the state. And the oil will run out. And once that happens the government will run on it's sovereign investment funds for a while.

I've seen this in my own state, Florida. With 500 people per day moving in the government was flush with cash earmarked for education. Then the building permits stopped; class size went up, field trips and extracurricular activities went down. Now teachers are being given more responsibility (as pseudoparents) and less pay you get plenty leaving (the young ones) or waiting it out until the retirement (the older ones). It's been a downward spiral ever since.

There's always sugar-free Red Bull which is preferable to the sugary default kind, but I like high-quality green tea. After you wean yourself off the hard caffeine spikes of coffee or Red Bull, you realise green tea contains trace amounts of caffeine, enough to get you over the hump after your body readjusts. It's also antioxidant-rich.
Even Oracle has to rerun optimization now and then, a stored proc is like a prepared statement except it's stored, i.e. It's not affected by a restart afaik.

It has the major difference that you can run your stored proc for one record anytime and gain performance, whereas prepared statements are usually prepared just in time - preparing them / reusing them on the long term really is a bad implementation of stored procs.

MySQL is a toy, it's not SQL compliant by a long shot and most features it implements are incomplete, the fact that stored procs or prepared statements are part of that comes as no surprise to me.

What this bug has just proven, is that not everyone is capable of writing an escape string.

That doesn't change the fact that it's a zillion times cheaper to sanitize then call rather than call to prepare then call to execute, especially more so if you're not using stored porcedures and have to prepare / check if prepared.

My experience with multiple subreddits is that subreddits which disabled downvote button (by custom CSS style, it's still there if you really need it) tend to have much more friendly and polite discussion, very much like HN.

Subreddits of comparable size and/or field which keep downvote button tend to be extremely argumentative and full of flames. Getting downvoted turns off your reason and you start seeing the thing not as a friendly argument but as a fight. And so does the other side. The result is ugly.
