If not (I assume no), would you accept

(pmap [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10] [0 3 4])

instead? pmap being defined as "Like map, except f is applied in parallel" [1]

That said, I'm too ignorant to understand the deeper benefits of the parallel approach. It seems it enables nifty things according to some other comments in this thread, yet I've been unable to understand quite why so far.

Yep.
Actually, this is the approach you need to take to install any software onto an Azure VM that is not part of the Windows Server-based installation. But you really only need to figure out how to do it one time; after that, it should be part of the build process for your .cspkg and something you don't need to think about again.

One of the other announcements from yesterday is that there's now tooling for Eclipse which should eliminate this pain point. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh69094... for an overly-detailed description of deploying a Java app to Azure.

The math doesn't sound right. Google allows any ASCII character for their passwords, which is 95 chars. I calculate 2330 years to crack each password. Did I get something wrong?

(95^6 * .1sec per hash) / (60sec 60min 24hrs 365days)

The key difference is bcrypt does ~10 hash/sec. A GPU-enabled password cracking machine can do over 500 million hashes per second. That generates a rainbow table in ~30 minutes.

For mismanaged sites where the site owner changed URLs and could have added proper redirects but instead chose to just show 404s for all of them (article mentions the examples of github and java, but there are countless more), there should be a wikipedia-style community-driven reference project with better redirects. Is anybody working in this direction?
Exactly - "Things are necessarily crappier on the web, of course."

I wonder, though. Could there be a "code has changed" warning from the client? I mean, authentication should be pretty damn stable, and maybe even universal. If someone does modify the page, it'd be nice to know if that change was reflected on other sites, and it'd be nice to know that someone I trust had signed off on it (cryptographically).

A simple alternative is to build it into browsers. A password field could generate a salt per-domain and automatically encrypt any queries to password-fields. The server doesn't even need to know about it. You'd have to be more than a little careful building it, obviously, and you'd have to find a way to deal with passwords used on more than one site, but it could work.
I used that case because it's the most famous one people refer too. Runyon is another famous person. Look, I've watched Food Inc too. Again, show me the case (which I believe does not exist). You showed me a news article.

This guy openly states that he's using GMail, and assumes that because he doesn't get much spam that everyone else won't either.

I've worked with proprietary products like Barracudas, and similar open source systems like MailScanner, and none of them have been as good at stopping spam and allowing legitimate messages as GMail.

So extrapolating out his sample size of one to the entire internet is a bit of a stretch.

Further, he assumes that people running these scanners are doing regex type stuff to get these variations, when it's more likely that 99% of e-mail harvesters won't bother.

Spending the time to get those few amount of e-mails would not be worth the time, not to mention, the people that try to obscure their e-mail are probably the least likely people to buy viagra from some unsolicited e-mail.
Yes, Windows Azure is very similar to Amazon Web Services, but with Microsoft's technology stack. You're supposed to use SQL Azure (the 'managed' version of SQL Server with some cool features like Federations and Data Sync) as your main database system, for example. There's Blob Storage which is like S3 and Table Storage which is more like Cassandra but you can ignore it (no indexes is a huge handicap). The main difference between EC2 and Azure Compute is that Microsoft auto-updates Windows and IIS on Azure whereas you have to do the updates yourself on EC2. Otherwise it's basically the same at the same price.

For a one-man project, nothing beats Google App Engine. Azure and AWS require more work.

Consoles was never just about big scenes/epic scenery or people having fun together. Starting from nintendo up to PS2 there was plenty of casual games (think tetris).

If consoles are going to be limited to epic games then investing in consoles becomes a huge gamble. You have 200 million to spend, do you want to create 1000 games for the iphone or 1 big console game that if it gets below an 80 on metacritic will be considered a "flop".

People don't buy misses on consoles and they don't buy casual games. They buy the big epic games like you described and that is KILLING the industry.
Yeah, Carmack hasn't said the most intelligible things as of the past couple years. Him and other PC acolytes from the 90s aren't all completely "there" with their wonky prognostications.

Part of the bcrypt process includes a "work factor", which is, crudely, "how many times do I run this?" What you can do is tune your work factor so that it takes a reasonably long time to hash a password (say, 0.05 sec on your webserver = 20 passwords/sec), which won't necessarily heavily impact the performance of your website, but which would be a significant impediment to anyone trying to brute-force those passwords.

As hardware improves, you just implement a system wherein when the user submits login information, you verify their password with your old work factor, and if it passes, re-hash with your new (slower) work factor and store the updated hash. This allows you to effectively use a progressively slower algorithm over the lifetime of your application to compensate for Moore's Law.

You obviously don't want to pick a work factor that's too high for your web server hardware, since that opens you up to DOS attacks, but a reasonable work factor can easily mitigate the weaknesses of MD5 and SHA1 - notably, that they can be computed by the hundreds of millions of second on the right harware.

>PSQL is sincerely a waste of time and energy for small things

As someone who has been using SQL server, postgresql, mysql, and oracle virtually every day for 13 years, I have to disagree. Postgresql is by far the easiest, most user-friendly one of the bunch. Mysql is full of tons of weird unexpected behaviours, and the command line mysql shell is so bad it is essentially useless.

I got started with Processing, and slowly expanded from there into Java.

It was quite fun (I built a few games) and I learned a lot about the language before I had to start learning the libraries, which was nice.
The obscure matrix language IDL has this too via WHERE. It's really nice. This syntax is essential for image processing unless you want to write a bunch of unnecessary for loops.

img[WHERE(img LT 5)] = 0

I built a bunch of sparse image processing algorithms using index lists. Pass in the indices and the values at those locations. Everything else is assumed zero. Sort the index array and you can use binary search to look up neighbors. On my domain images which were less than 2% foreground it made a big difference.
It might make a bit more sense when you add in that Agent Orange wasn't supposed to cause these effects in humans. Dow and Monstanto were struggling to keep up with the demand from the US military and quality control suffered. This led to Agent Orange being contaminated with TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin). True Agent Orange should be 50/50 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D. It was the contamination with the carcinogen that caused the disaster.

With this in mind, you could blame Dow and Monsanto for lack of quality control leading to human suffering. This would be a litigious offense in almost every nation. Even if you want to believe malice put the poison there rather than incompetence, guns aren't made or sold with specific intent to kill people. If they were (outside of war), you would be able to sue for the damage they caused.

I would argue that the main problem is so many queries: rather than arguing about ORM dispatch speed it's almost always better to make fewer queries and/or retrieve less data as you can cut out a ton of unavoidable overhead intrinsic to shipping a query to another process (possibly on another system), executing it and handling the results. ORM improvements can only address either end of that process.

Similarly, 1s to render a template sounds rather unusual - if that's not just something like not using the cached loader on a slow filesystem it's screaming for logic to move into the view or a template tag.

I will also note in both cases these started out as general assertions which were then qualified to refer to specific edge cases. Again, without describing the exact code being benchmarked it's a disservice to through out performance advice to people who might take it as a general rule rather than understanding that it's unlikely to be a significant problem for most users.
>I don't understand why people compare tablets and phones to console.

Consoles were, and are, still dominant because the most time that the average person spent with a screen was a TV.

However, the consumer's usage habits are adjusting. The primary screen they are beginning to use is the smartphone and, eventually, it will be the same for the tablet because it is so mobile. This is where gaming is going to have to go.

>Console gaming is about big screens, epic scenery.

That may be what consoles are about but that is not what gaming is about. I would think that it's a dream for any gamer to have access to the same game wherever you are.

>They have already announced IE for xbox.

This will likely be the least used feature of all of MS's announcements. I don't know anyone who enjoyed using a browser sitting 10 feet away from the screen.

Put a powerful cpu, gpu and an usb controller and there's no technical difference between a tablet and a console.

For me, it's just adding an unnecessary company in the middle of a transaction.

When I buy something, I accept that there's somebody selling something, and frequently a credit card company facilitating that transaction. Why do I need Facebook to know what I'm buying when purchasing things has already been made easy-enough for most cases? With Facebook inserting themselves into the checkout process, I'd be giving them something of value without really getting anything for it - so why would I do it?
Best wishes to him and the rest of your family.
Yes, that works.

The deeper benefits come from having a language design where almost everything expects to work with arrays and array indices, so that idiom can be combined with many other operators and combinators.

Quick example in K, J's cousin, which I know far better: consider "{[d;p]d@&p d}". That's a 3-argument lambda which takes a data set (d) and a predicate function (p), applies the predicate function to the data set's values (p d) returning a boolean vector of the predicate's results, filters the result set to just the indices of the true/1 values (&), then indexes the data set by those indexes. The predicate function can be applied to the data set in parallel, and it can be slices by the indices in parallel. D can be a small data set in memory, or a terabyte of memory-mapped data on disk; it doesn't matter. (Really, it could just be "{x@&y x}" or "{x[&y[x]]}", but I named the parameters.) 'where' ("&") is just one of many operators that combines with array slicing like this.

In pseudo-Lisp it might look something like "(lambda (d p) (pmap d (where (pmap f d))))". 'where' is a function that converts e.g. [1 2 3 4 5] to [0 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4], and [0 1 0 1 0] to [1 3]. This works for both boolean results and reshaping data sets, but the underlying implementation is the same.

eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.

12:16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth
as water.

12:17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or
of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy
flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill
offerings, or heave offering of thine hand: 12:18 But thou must eat
them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall
choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and
thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou
shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine

we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is
not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we? 9:8 And the
