The idea that an industry body would be more secure than the security department of major software company is something I don't see a lot of evidence for. Apart from the root DNS servers I can't think of any.

There are plenty examples of companies keeping something secure. There aren't many of industry bodies.

Thanks for all those pointers! I think I was missing the keyword "circumscribing".
Interesting point. "Education" can be propaganda. It can also focus on specific technical skills (e.g. the three R's). Does it necessarily lead to tolerance?

I think education that enables people to create new skills - to explore, test, discover - necessarily encourages a questioning mindset (I wonder why it's like this... is there a better way?); an appreciation of diverse perspectives (an outside insight can lead to the solution); humility (noticing that you don't know). All these may lead to tolerance. Though, it's easy for even the best of us to lose sight of these.

You can avoid this by teaching only specific technical skills - but this means you are dependent on others doing the creating. Mind you, this area of the world (the fertile crescent) was first with the fundamental new skills underlying civilization.

ASP.NET MVC 4 RC released
Let's talk about the solution here, since I'd like to know what it is! I'd like to hear what you guys have to say about it.

-----------------

1. Assumption: nobody is perfect and your programming language will have a gargantuan fault.

since nobody is perfect, after the dust settles and you have a million users, your programming language will have a really gargantuan fault that is used hundreds of thousands of times throughout everyone's code.

-----------------

2. For this exercise let's make it extreme!

Let's make this really extreme with something that's clearly braindead. Let's say in this language you have two comparisons for comparing integers, one for odd and one for even comparisons. (!!)

=odd== which behaves like a normal comparison between two odd integers (5 =odd== 7 evaluates to false, and 5 =odd== 5 evaluates to true, but both 2 =odd== anything or anthing =odd== 8 is false, even 2 =odd== 2 or 8 =odd== 8) and =even== which is a normal comparison function between even integers and always false when either integer is odd, even if they have the same odd value.

The normal way to do a comparison in this language is:

(a % 2) ? a =odd== b : a =even== b

-----------------

3. aftermath

Now, the language is at version 2.3 and there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of examples of the idiom (a % 2) ? a =odd== b : a =even== b throughout the codebase.

It's a mess!

Someone has the bright idea of cleaning up this cruft. Why not introduce ==, which compares an odd to an odd or an even and an even, returning true if the integer on the left equals the integer on the right, regardless of whether they're odd or even!

-----------------

4. how do you clean up?

Great idea. Man, why didn't we think of this up-front. It's clearly much better.

Well, nobody is perfect. It wasn't done this, better way, up front.

NOBODY now argues that this way isn't better. But people have learned to live with this braindead feature. It's not just the one idiom either. Maybe you could search and replace (a % 2) ? a =odd== b : a =even== b with a new == -- but what do you do if someone uses =odd== or =even== outside that exact idiom? Maybe they have an arcane if-else clauses or functions that have bizarre logic and use these comparisons, which should not even exist. What do you do with it?

Seriously. The dust has settled and you made a huge mistake. Now what do you do?

- If you start over (3.0), it sounds like users will just backport your improvements.

- If you introduce == WITHOUT breaking =odd== and =even==, people will keep writing code using =odd== and =even==, which is unreadable and wrong and a mess.

- But if you DO break it, you break people's scripts and they will simply not upgrade past the point where it still works.

If you find a security bug, you either have to backport it to the braindead tree or cut users off from it.

And of course, in the real world, it's the == itself that is broken and doesn't behave the way it should, not these hypothetical braindead functions.

so...what do you do?

That's in a nutshell what I am asking.

The Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy suggests that E + mc^2 should remain constant over time. However if new stuff is being added to the universe because we are inside a black hole, E + mc^2 should be a function of time and not a constant value.

It seems there is a testable hypothesis for someone.

How to make your CSS really mobile friendly
When I was very young I developed the habit of rereading almost every book I read multiple times; unless I found it particularly bad or boring. I think most kids do this, but some seem to lose the habit along the way. I tend to be "reading" multiple books at any given time; a new one that gets most of my attention and then 2 or 3 old ones that I will switch to to break up the pace. As a result I tend to retain a fair bit; enough that I feel it's worth my while. There are some books in my collection I can recite large portions of from reading them so many times. I've probably read the Brothers Karamazov ~20 times. I've never understood this notion some people seem to have of reading a book and then being done with it.

Could you explain the problem a little more? From what you wrote here, it sounds like the problem is that if the world changes, it can mess up your answers, and bandit will take exp(N) time to catch up.

This is a problem for A/B testing also - if the world changes after your test is finished, you just got the wrong answer. Or am I missing something?

This is why you run tests which you expect to be statistically independent of each other and why you stick to results you expect to be durable.

I'd love it if you email me about it (or post publicly on the topic). I'm thinking of writing a "real world bandit benchmarking suite" which will take into account as many such situations as possible.
Well it depends, if you want a feature that is _called_ 'exception', than no, there is none.

If you want a feature that allows you to signal and catch errors, than:

* you can return Error as the second parameter from a function,

* you can panic and later defer a recover call (more info: http://blog.golang.org/2010/08/defer-panic-and-recover.html )

LoseThos was designed for 64-bit or better systems. I have no interest in old pathetic hardware. Compatibility is the reason there aren't 100 PC operating systems. You need drivers. I decided to just support common hardware, which is mostly pathetic, but not by choice.

LoseThos identity maps memory. Think about that for a while. Fragmentyation is inevitable. LoseThos is more or less a toy, unless you know what you are doing.

It is ring 0-only. It will crash.

The up-side is it is very simple and fast -- no memory-map penalties or privilege level change penalties. The biggest drawback is the stack doesn't grow. That means you have to change style of programming which is a penalty.

Creating An NFS-Like Standalone Storage Server With GlusterFS On Ubuntu 12.04
> It simply presents a list of media on your device, which you can save in any location you want. There's no organizational aspect, unlike iPhoto. Image Capture doesn't help with the uploading/sharing part, of course, but it's much more streamlined way of directly downloading photos versus iPhoto.

iPhoto's "organizational" aspect, as far as mandatory core goes, does not go any further than an optional "event name" field (it'll just use the import date if no event name is specified). And it does provide sharing options.

Image Capture is useful if you want to download stuff to the filesystem or delete pictures without importing them (iPhoto can't do that), but it definitely isn't simpler than iPhoto to import media: on iPhoto you select your pictures, click "import selected" (or just import all if you don't want to bother) and when done select "keep imported" or "remove imported", on Image Capture you select your filesystem destination, select your pictures, click "import" (or just import all if you don't want to bother) and when done you manually remove the file from the device.

> it's much more streamlined way of directly downloading photos versus iPhoto.

Part of the problem is determining what we mean by writing. Keep in mind we don't see any long inscriptions of the sort we see in early Sanscrit or Hittite. Only a few areas are attested including stamp seals, pottery and the like.

The Indus Valley script could have been, for example, a pictographic/ideographic labelling system without any real language-encoding function. But if I draw thee fish to indicate that you owe me three fish, is that writing? It's certainly encoded communications. I don't know that it is writing as we know it though.

Along with their apparent restriction of the 'desktop' on arm, this is the reason I lost interest in windows8 on arm. So far a linux + android solution (like ubuntu have demonstrated) seems more powerful and very will also have more apps to start (way to go throw away windows' advantage #1).

It seems quite short-sighted, too, as I see ARM as being a viable laptop platform in the life of windows 8, but MS are restricting it to 'device' status.

Also, we've known this for a long time now.
Unlike on x86 where windows dominates on ARM there is a different story and linux dominates on ARM, they can lose some market share because of this policy but it seems that microsoft only cares to keep their old strategies no matter what times they live in.

Setting aside whether dollar cost averaging into a low cost index mutual fund is a good or bad strategy, the author falls prey to a common investing fallacy. It is most evident in this sentence, "Over the long haul, you won’t lose."

Experienced investors will immediately recognize that there is always some probability you will lose money regardless of the perceived safety of the investment. An investment provides return in exchange for risk -- there is always risk -- understanding this fundamental truth about investing is the the most important thing an average investor can do regardless of what the market is doing.

While the proposed strategy will provide a rate of return slightly below the broad market over long time horizons it's no sure thing. This observation is especially poignant on a day when the Tokyo market index is at a 28 year low.

This reminds me of an anecdote from "The Codebook" from Simon Singh (highly recommended book btw.).

One of the reasons, why the British could crack the Enigma code, was that German officers introduced rules on how to use the system. For the Enigma machines they had to choose three out of five cylinders in different positions. The officers thought it would be more secure if they impose a rule "never use the same cylinder in the same position the next day".

I really would like to use haskell (ghc) even more but the lack of 64 support on windows is a realworld troublemaker.

What I suspect monochromatic is trying to point out is that patents are not easy to read and understand. Not even for patent lawyers. Maybe even by design. And that even if you do understand a patent, this generally says nothing about why it was filed.

Or do you expect executives to regularly review potential patent applications to avoid those that are potentially "too good" for the business?
The Indus Valley script doesn't look like a mere form of ornamentation to me (knowing something about archaeology and historical linguistics). The problem though is that when we say "writing" we usually mean "encoding otherwise spoken language in durable form" and there is no real evidence that this is what the Indus Valley script does.

The problem is that there are plenty of kinds of markings that don't fall under either of these. Take for example Roman Numerals. You aren't encoding IX or VIIII as the word "nine" or equivalent in any language. Instead You are illustrating the number on a tally stick and the tally stick, rather than the spoken language, acts as the shared point of reference.

So I think one has to be careful about saying that these are the only two options. The script could have a communicative function and even a formally defined one (much like Roman Numerals do) without being writing in the sense of encoding spoken language in durable form.

I didn't say anything about a small subset. The rules I use are not a subset of all those special cases, they are broader rules that cover lots of potential pitfalls and are easier to remember. But C is definitely more complicated than it should be, no doubt about it.
Instead of debating the merits of reading due to the fact that you can't remember what you read, why not improve how you read to drastically increase how much you remember. Why not (re-)learn how to really read.

Of course, I'm talking of Adler's How to Read a Book.

Admittedly, it's intention was to help in absorbing and analysing The Great Books [2], but I have found it of unbounded usefulness when reading any non-fiction (retention rates went through the roof). Regardless: without using the techniques he discusses (some of you may already, without knowing it) you'll never be able to read or learn from books at your full potential.

He pretty much described the "Journal" functionality of iPhoto for iPhone/iPad. You pick the photos you want to share, create a "journal" with them, and pick Share -> Share to iCloud. From there you can email a link to the journal to your contacts. They receive a link to a really nice gallery.

The journals can be customized, you can change up the layout and add little text boxes and maps and neat stuff like that. It's really exactly what he's looking for.

As far as getting the photos onto your mac- that's what Photo Stream is for. It pulls your photos straight into iPhoto without you having to do anything. It kind of sounds like he's trying to stay away from iPhoto, but that's like arbitrarily saying "I need a solution for this, but I won't use the solution that exists, I need something else!".
By the way, if all you need is classes, there are many many libraries that give you those in JS (not to talk about CoffeeScript).

What I really miss from a maintainability point of view with javascript, on the other hand, is better development tools (ie IDEs and testing tools). I'm pretty sure there is a big opportunity there.
