People like to throw around this kind of advice often. Hanging around people who "get shit done" is a privilege that not everyone has. What happens when you go to a cheap college in Mexico where none of the computer science teachers have ever worked in a large scale application and most haven't even written one in their lives? How do you apply this advice when 90% of your classmates can't read a sentence of english and learning something unusual like python and deploying a toy app on some server not only puts you ahead by miles of the rest of your class but also of the rest of your entire generation? Some communities don't have this kind of people. Is someone in this position supposed to ditch everyone around him/her?
Thank you for your well wishes. It's definitely not for the faint of heart! :)
Meh, dynamically typed systems are within an order of magnitude of statically typed systems, even on benchmarks that greatly benefit from the static type information.
niiiice! :) python is definitely better than vba, didn't think of this use for it!
I don't know why Americans decided to go with pants over trousers.

My socks are usually only a few colors, and I never seem to have enough. I think my only real life hacker tip for clothing would be to always have way more socks, underwear and undershirts than you need.

I can usually find pants, a shirt and other accessories. But socks? I'm always scrambling to find some.

I should probably go by 10 pairs of socks today.
I wear tanks and light leggings on really hot days (or in really hot countries). It's cool you don't have a problem deciding what to wear, though. I found myself bogged down with what was the appropriate thing for the right occasion/did stuff match well/did I look really cute or not.
Windows RT(for ARM) requires the bootloader to be locked like the iPad's is.

Windows 8 on x86 requires the UEFI on PC to provide an option to disable secure boot and allow a physically present user to add any signing keys of their choice. Windows 8 will happily boot on any hardware that does not support UEFI secure boot(most current PCs) and will also boot without any complaints if Secure Boot is disabled by the user.

Note: The above requirement is only to get the hardware Windows 8 certified. Microsoft is legally prohibited from requiring anything from the PC OEMs.

Why is there SO much confusion around this in these parts? I see these exact type of back and forth arguments and utter confusion in almost every discussion related to UEFI or secure boot .
Semicolons: Who do we code for?
"When I first started looking for things like a ‘standard tank top’ or a ‘standard jersey skirt’, I thought they’d be easy to find."

I find this to be the case too often. Jeans are easy (Levi 501, anyone?) but finding a t-shirt or collared shirt that fits well, is comfortable and that I will likely be able to buy over and over again for the next 10 years is quite difficult.

GAP and Uniqlo sort of do this but even they change things around a lot. I think sites like Everlane.com could do quite well out of this concept: most people like to stick with basics they love. Make good basics and keep them around forever. I've always wanted to be able to login on my iPhone and click 'give me two new t-shirts' and have them delivered to my door, the iPhone app should know where I live, my card number and my favourite stuff...no questions asked!
Yep, me too!

Would it be possible to use this as a standalone (command line for instance) and not a plugin?
This seems really cool, but I'm admittedly not familiar with this area. How does this compare or supplement to Excel VBScript?
The Complete History of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
This is only true if you narrowly define the scope to be what HTTP started as: synchronous, unidirectional, and only concerned with single files[1]. When you consider the problems many, many people - not just Google - are dealing with break at least one of those assumptions it's clear that HTTP is incomplete.

Does anyone know if the related netmap project[1] is being consider for inclusion into mainline linux? I haven't seen much discussion of the project apart from a few HN and proggit threads. It looks like effort was made to make netmap compatible with existing systems, although according to the author, small portions of network drivers need to be rewritten.

[1] http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/
It's not necessarily that a curved mirror is always worse, there's value in consistency so that drivers don't have to adjust to different cars. If there isn't a lot of value in picking the "right" answer, it may be beneficial for government to mandate one standard "good enough" solution.

Spray is a great library. It's full featured, with it's own Akka-based HTTP server and a full client lib.

Smoke is a smaller, more focused tool. You will find a lot of things Spray does that Smoke does not. Smoke has a significantly different DSL, relying on Akka's composable Futures to take care of things like error handling.

Smoke evolved through an attempt to build the simplest possible asynchronous HTTP services on top of Akka, without sacrificing any of the key features we needed to deploy those services at scale.

The goal of Smoke is not so much to compete with Spray as it is to provide an HTTP-service-focused alternative to Finagle (https://github.com/twitter/finagle) that uses Akka Futures instead of Twitter Futures, and includes everything we needed to build, test and deploy those services quickly.

So far, it's been working quite well for us.
The TDP of the processor in the current Mac mini is 35 W (which is what makes the mini different from most desktop systems, whose processors usually have TDPs in the 65 W to 95 W range) whereas the TDP of the (Ivy Bridge) processor in this thing is 17 W, which I am guessing is what makes it possible to shrink the size so much relative to the Mac mini.

Thank you for saying this.

My biggest problem with all this media is that with knowledge of how it works, and having control of the C&C software, none of those idiots are just saying "For a day let's spoof all of their update centers and spam suicide signal to anyone who comms during that day." Which would kill a majority if not ALL of the virus out there.

Another option is to not sit around proudly on their C&C centers, but that's an obvious start on reversing them as well as a relay point for data. Finding WHAT data EXACTLY they're hunting is the first step in finding who is doing it.
You are doing it wrong.

Buy a suit that fits your build and it will never look too far out of place. Don't buy exaggerated cuts (like the present too-tight fit with too-short pants). The trendiest items will always be a little different, but they don't vary too far from the middle. You only look silly when you buy clothes too far on one extreme and the trend moves to the other end.

Surely the character to cite would be Jeff Goldblum's character in The Fly, who owns a set of identical comfortable, smart casual clothes for exactly the reasons stated by the author and the character in Jurassic Park (presumably the book).

In any event, this is a much tougher problem for women than men, but she isn't really describing "an outfit" but a wardrobe. I don't have a problem with that, but the title is misleading.
I'd guess it's $300-$500/mo since it's just on one server last I saw.

It's a relatively simple site, running on a very fast language (Arc->MzScheme), with liberal use of caching.

There really aren't that many sites you couldn't run off a single server if you really wanted to. A really beefy server today is more capable than a dozen from just a few years ago.

Google publicly responds to WSJ opinion piece from Jeff Katz
The Mac mini is 7.7 x 7.7 x 1.4 inches. That's almost four times the volume of this thing (4 x 4 x ? inches).

Among other things, the difference is speed: VALE can do 18 Mpps versus the 0.8 Mpps of a Linux bridge.
And sometimes you do need speed, maybe not for virtual machines but e.g. if you want to stress test your network monitors, routers, IDS etc. For instance, using VALE we found out a missing event notification in QEMU/KVM which limited the receive speed to 50 Kpps, and a one-line fix brought it up to 1 Mpps.
My recollection is that he was trying to open an account, so they didn't know how much he had. If he was already famous, it may not have occurred to him that some middle aged manager would not know who he was, so he may not have felt any need to say upfront "I'm a wealthy rock star." I am assuming this was pre-internet. These days, anyone can check their bank statement online from practically anywhere.

I turned 47 yesterday. Some of my anecdotes are no doubt older than some of the members of this forum.

Peace.
Yeah, it's not a big deal, so I wouldn't worry about it. Taste is really all it is.
We're not pre-hashing with MD5. The MD5 was already there. It's the only source text we have. The proper comparison here isn't MD5+bcrypt vs. just bcrypt — it's MD5+bcrypt vs. just MD5. So any collisions that MD5 causes are immaterial — they'd be there either way.

It seems to me that the most obvious problem is that you get two chances at colliding — once with MD5 and once with bcrypt. But bcrypt is not known to be especially vulnerable to collision attacks, so this setup is probably not noticeably worse than MD5 alone. But that's just looking at probabilities — I ain't no fancy crypto expert or nothin', so there might be much more subtle vulnerabilities than the added chance of collision.

Right. What interested me was the double standard I mentioned (and I should be really clear: I'm not sitting here and being a men's rights whiner about reverse sexism or anything like that, I'm honestly interested). Clearly guys aren't doing this out of instinct, we were taught to do it too. But it happened at an age and in a context where there was no value placed on the decision. It's just "how it's done", like brushing one's teeth.

For women, coming to the same kind of decision is a lifestyle hack. I don't know what to think about that.

"For consumers my main advice would be to find a website that you can trust and stick with it."

This was one of the founding principles of the slashtag system at Blekko.com. Pure algorithmic search fails in highly contested search queries because of the people trying to game results. The idea is that if you've got a slashtag with your favorite review sites in it you can have that auto-boosted in your regular search results and 'ungame' the gamers.
Windows on the Bay - Let's Party
I've seen a lot of signage that runs on Flash. This is probably because that's what designers use, and also because new adverts are delivered over slow connections (GPRS?)

At any rate, the $400 cost would be minuscule compared to the cost of the screen itself, housing and installation costs. Why try and save a little money and risk having to retrofit or replace the displays in a few years when socially integrated, augmented reality, realtime 3D ads are in vogue.

'Speed' is a good enough answer. I was mostly wondering if there was some fundamental difference that I wasn't seeing, or if it was just a better/faster implementation of the same thing.
That's one of the draws, sure. But it's also nice to be able to replicate shell scripts or clever unix file hacks with a complete set of syntax compatible utilities so that less "translation" needs to happen. If you don't need all that back-end compatibility stuff (running gcc, etc.), this can be a much quicker and easier approach.
As a guy I am extremely lucky. Jeans, dickies short-sleeve shirt, black socks, magnum boots and a fedora hat and I am set.

It is what I wear day in day out. Sure, I have different colours, black jeans, {dark, light} blue jeans and the dickies shirts come in various colours {red, black, blue, marine blue, navy blue, white, green} but that is pretty much where it ends. Sometimes I'll switch out my fedora for a flat cap.

I own four pairs of jeans, and 8 pairs of dickies shirts, and those dickies shirts have been with me for a VERY long time. My oldest one is now 6 years old and still going strong.
I still have a soft spot for VBA, especially in Excel. I wrote a supply-chain management application in Excel+VBA that's still in production today. As comfortable as I am with VBA, I wouldn't mind in the least ditching it for Python, which makes writing routine methods trivial. Great work!
Google Public Policy Blog: Setting the record straight: competition in search
Thanks! 1, 4, and 5 in particular do seem useful. Having up search and down cancel is a win for orthogonality, but loses a touch in flexibility (if I'm searching, find something, and then realize I want to run the command before or after it, for instance). On balance, I think fish is doing it right for new users but I don't see anything there that's worth the shift for those of us who have the muscle memory for the other.

One thing I've missed from ctrl-r is the ability to drop in (an implicit or explicit) .* in my search - often, I start my search and hit a line, and I know what will disambiguate but it's a ways down the line.

There is no way to keep up close rlationships with everyone you meet so it is important to give preference to people with the qualities that you most admire and desire to replicate.

Driven, Creative, Intelligent, professional, and Open-minded are a couple of my general "qualifications" I use when deciding where I should put my effort.

It might sound cold and calculating, but that is because I am trying to put no bias into it. I promis I am not that ruthless and cold.
I disagree. You're focusing on recreational drugs, but the performance drug market might be smaller but significantly richer.

During years EPO wasn't detectable by anti-doping testing. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it requires cutting edge pharmaceutical drug research to avoid detection.

Sure, but even then one merely has an observation that there are these two large projects that are written in dynamic languages and are being successfully maintained.

That doesn't imply that they are being successfully maintained because they are written in dynamic languages, or despite being written in dynamic languages. And of course there's also the possibility that static vs. dynamic is a wash and doesn't really have an impact at all. Or that the potential impact of going with static or dynamic is heavily influenced by other factors - does the static language have type inference, does the dynamic language support duck typing, stuff like that.

Long story short, correlation does not, in and of itself, imply causation.
The relevant proofs are easily accessible, probably more so than the limit based proofs of regular calculus.

The only thing that isn't easily accessible is the proof of transference, namely that what's true for star-R (don't know how to make asterisks format nicely) is also true for R.

I don't know much about the business of domain names, so this may be a dumb question, but... if this service got popular, could you use some of the common (and/or recent) search terms to inform speculative domain purchases? If so, are you concerned that would make your target audience less likely to want to use a 3rd party service like this (b/c they don't want their potential domains snatched up)?

Yes, but people usually don't since it requires more swap operations and is pretty hard to get correct.
But is selling a part of your company really the only way to get some FU money, if the company is doing really good and is highly profitable? can't they payout the profits as some sort of dividends.
