Given the insane budget for Webb ($11 billion max cap), the notion that GEMS was going to be 20% to 30% over budget, and that would end up around maybe $150 million total, it seems absurd to kill this project. This is the kind of science NASA should be doing.

He would be able to patent all curved mirrors, just his particular implementation and design. He may have an optimal design that certainly would deserve patent protection.

The question that he has to worry about with the patents is whether or not his 2008 paper was published before or after the non-US patents were applied for. If I'm not mistaken, the US has a one year grace period between public display (publishing an academic paper) and filing for a patent. Whereas Europe et al. do not have a grace period.

> who claimed 22 years of computer experience

Whatever that means, it could just as well be 22 years including VB, Fortran, C, in areas unrelated to crypto, or for what it's worth, Solitaire and Excel. If he's an old-timer he may not even have heard of version control or that opensource means that code is public for anyone to read.

He mentioned http://shiftedit.net/. I would paste all e-mails but unfortunately they are slovenian. If you have any specific question just ask.
If the interrogator has 22 years of 'computer experience' and is asking about specific algorithms I sincerely doubt that they're minimum wage airport security staff.

Script to Release Inactive Memory on Mac OSX Lion
Hi, Last year I bought a 27" iMac with 8 Gig of memory with Lion. The machine is fantastic but Lions memory management has alot to be desired, it would totally stall when the inactive memory was about 3 Gig and the Free Memory around 50 Meg, and running purge would release some memory but less than an hour later I was in the same position.

In my investigations I have finally found a script which clears the inactive memory down from over 1.2 Gig down to about 90 Meg.

I cannot take credit for it, I found it here (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120410153721860)

Without further ado, the script is below, copy it into a file and chmod +x it and run....

#!/bin/bash

# This script checks the available inactive memory.
# Memory is purged if the available number of MB is
# greater than the following "msize" variable. Attach
# this script to launchd to run it periodically.

msize=1200

VS=`vm_stat | awk '/Pages\ inactive\:/ {print $3}' | sed 's/\.//g'`
MM=`echo "$VS/255" | bc`

echo "Testing status of inactive free memory..."

if [ "$MM" -gt "$msize" ]; then
echo "You have too much inactive free memory." $MM"MB Releasing now..."
purge
exit 0
else
echo "Memory amount" $MM"MB does not meet purge threshold."
exit 0

Curved mirrors are more efficient in one sense but tends to lead people to misjudge distances. Presumably the government think that showing a misleading picture may be worse than not showing one at all, which is not complete idiocy. This mirror apparently doesn't really suffer from that problem, but the legislation didn't anticipate it - which isn't really surprising, it's hardly realistic to expect them to foresee this development.

Or you can add rebind-domain-ok=xip.io to dnsmasq.conf. Not that I would do that myself, as I still don't see what value it provides.
I use tests for documentation. They seem like more work at the start, but they're more flexible. You can self-document things with tests that you cannot with just types.

For example, here are some tests from the lisp interpreter I've been working on: http://github.com/akkartik/wart/blob/8a8cf96816/030.test

You're right that tests aren't close to code. But that can be good or bad. Since it's not next to the code it can be more verbose and thorough without adding a constant reading burden. And when I wonder, "why is this line here?" I can comment it out and run the tests to find out.

I think of tests as records of the input space of my program. Most of the time we go to great lengths to make explicit what we do but not quite what aspects of its behavior we truly care about. Where are the dont-cares in this program? If I refactor it am I restricted to a bit-for-bit identical behavior? In practice that's impossible, and without tests we fudge random parts of the state space without rigorously knowing what is important and what isn't.
> a REPL. Just give it a whirl and see what you get.

A REPL is in no-way tied to having a dynamically typed or interpreted programming language. E.g. Haskell's GHCi has an excellent REPL environment where you can, in addition to evaluating code, ask for the type of an expression and do other static analyses.

I agree that a REPL makes a huge (mostly positive) difference on how you write code.

Sorry, wasn't clear, let me elaborate: prior to the Director of Purchasing at $CUSTOMER deciding to award $COMPANY a $300,000 a year account, Bob Smith (who happens to be DoP at $CUSTOMER when not doting on his daughter) was in a bind with regards to shipping time frames on birthday balloons, and Cindy (a lovely lady who makes $10.50 an hour and whose good days were best described as "the ones ending in Y") overrode the computer's heuristics for shipping methods, shipped $25 of balloons in a $50 envelope, and called the warehouse personally to make sure it ended up on the very last van for delivery in time for the birthday the following day.

Working in seasonal order entry is a very cruddy job, by the way, but I'll give it to $COMPANY: they genuinely believed and practiced all the words that everyone repeats about customer satisfaction.

"The fold" is important in many places; games and other web applications should indeed be visible from the start. It's true, we have now scroll bars and scroll wheels and scroll areas on our touchpads, so it's not as important as it was in press, but it surely does need to be considered. It always upsets me to see news sites which have too much crap at the top of the screen getting between me and the thing I came there to read.

In this case, you are simply wrong about the application of "the fold", though. The point is, this is a simple web page containing a link and an application. The application is large enough that it cannot be reasonably guessed to live in the top 400-500 pixels of the screen. So there should have been a visual cue to distinguish the application, perhaps a box around it, so that people who have not yet seen the buttons at the bottom will scroll down and see them. Right now you have no idea where the application resides, and that is the complaint.

This is a bad idea, and here's why:

Honestly, I see it as almost self-evident that user would never ever learn this.

But more importantly, what would stop anyone from putting up these icons? Who would check that they actually implemented it?

Even if that was solved, people would just implement this one thing because it looked good. But there are plenty of other ways to ruin your password security, so you couldn't really trust them more than you could in the first place.

Yes. I'm not sure about normal mode but in developer mode there's a shell with SSH you can use. The shell can also run in a browser tab, so you can switch between tabs. In the new window manager you could even have different terminals open side-by-side.
Protip: Whenever you are evaluating a system and there is an unacceptable failure mode and your answer is "let it fail, then blame the user", go back and find a different answer.
"In fact, one of the few studies that people actually believe is the "some programmers are 10x better" study, and that was actually fairly well conducted - many students were given identical tasks, and a fairly large amount of time to do them."

Can you by chance point me to this paper? I'd like to add it to my paper collection, since most of the studies I've seen concerning programmer variability use members of the workforce. I'm not aware of the one involving students, but such replication studies are easy to miss.

Thanks!

It is indeed a shortcoming of OpenFire; one that won't be fixed [1].

As far as the XMPP protocol is concerned, the concept of sub-domains doesn't matter. It's useful for human users when configuring servers though.

Prosody for example allows running a multi-user chat service on example.com. And there's an undocumented feature which let's you have user@example.com be a user, and room@example.com be a chatroom.

They have some older APIs that depend on MD5(password) being used directly, to compare against auth credentials or to derive other hashes to verify API requests.

Though older APIs they're still used by many older or infrequently updated clients, such as hardware devices with sold with Last.fm integration.

Unfortunately, the longer you've been around the more likely you are to develop dependencies that make it more difficult to upgrade your password hashing.

A new site can do whatever it wants with password hashing, but it becomes harder for older sites with more legacy dependencies to make that kind of change and Last.fm has been around for almost 10 years.

This isn't to say "MD5 is cool, don't worry", but to try and illustrate some of the reasons behind this.

scrambled_password = HASH(scrambled_password)

Aren't we weakening the hash function? Presumably the hash function is not one-to-one, so if you iterate this for many iterations there is a danger that you could end up with a function that has a much higher probability of collisions?
AWS Spot Instance Integration with Auto Scaling and Cloud Formation
You are hitting exactly the main point.

Dynamic languages are very good for prototyping or small scale projects.

But they fail to address the context of programming large scale applications with teams distributed across multiple sites.

> Give me an example of a software tool that non-programmers can use to generate working software

XAML isn't working software. It's markup. UI.

For an example, I've seen designers generate great HTML+CSS (and then leave the data queries and ajax post to coders who don't have the same design sense).

Designers use tools, and they edit the resulting textual markup by hand. Because understanding that markup and having an aesthetic sense about when it "looks good", has low repetition etc is part of their skillset.
Yes it would be nice to make more money per sale but that metric is misleading and not necessarily relevant. We know from over a century of economic study that demand and price are not independent variables, in fact they are tightly related. The humble bundle model of selling games well after launch and letting buyers set the price strikes me as a fantastically effective way to both capture consumer surplus and to increase demand. The incremental cost of each sale is incredibly low compared to the total revenue, so per sale revenue isn't as relevant as total revenue.
Please note it's a prototype, I spent only about a month putting in together. It is, however, fully functional prototype, and I would very appreciate if you could give it a go and let me know your thoughts.

Yes, it's long. But it's a lot more thoughtful than the usual "where's my jetpack?" article and makes a number of points that seem to confirm the general world-view of the startup community.

Graeber is an academic, mostly known for his book "Debt: The first 5000 years" and his (somewhat vague) role in coordinating the Occupy movement, yet most of this article could have been written by Peter Thiel:

Breakthroughs will happen; inconvenient discoveries cannot be permanently suppressed. Other, less bureaucratized parts of the world—or at least, parts of the world with bureaucracies that are not so hostile to creative thinking—will slowly but inevitably attain the resources required to pick up where the United States and its allies have left off. The Internet does provide opportunities for collaboration and dissemination that may help break us through the wall as well. Where will the breakthrough come? We can’t know. Maybe 3D printing will do what the robot factories were supposed to. Or maybe it will be something else. But it will happen.
Glad that he has a patent for that. He should be justly rewarded for coming out with this road safety feature.

I'd prefer if he was justly rewarded in some manner that doesn't involve him having the legal right to prevent others from using this road safety feature particularly as it probably has a chilling effect on similar improvements.
I think a clearer way to express the author's position is to consider the case where a feasible attack is discovered on (say) SHA1. If you consider the probability of an attack on SHA1 and blowfish to be of independent probability, then the author's scheme allows you to "hedge your bets", as in theory your algorithm is as strong as its strongest component, even if the strengths of its components change in the future due to new discoveries.

This line of reasoning assumes A) that the probabilities of attacks on the algorithms are independent, and B) that the algorithms in use do not substantially reduce their input entropy, both of which are potential attacks.

It does _NOT_, however, assume that the scheme be kept secret.
It looks interesting but one small thing. I looked into the transferring large files quickly link[1] and saw that they were using netcat and tar to transfer files. This is not necessarily optimal[2], and applying some compression can go a long way, although this will be dependent on the use case. Compression also has the added bonus of transferring less data across the network and (if you don't uncompress) less space at the other end.

SSH is also an option (a slow option, but an option) that provides certain things (encryption, authentication) that make it ideally suited for transfers across network boundaries.

Der er selvfølgelig stor forskel på, hvor god en kvalitet pillerne har, men generelt er kvaliteten af træpiller blevet meget bedre i løbet af de seneste år. Når du fyrer med pillerne, er det en god idé at være opmærksom på, om de lugter af andet end træ. Pillerne skal nemlig selvsagt være lavet af træ, og hvis der er andre ting i pillerne, kan det være sundhedsskadeligt. Træpiller må kun indeholde 1% lim, resten skal være træspåner og smuler – Vi har selvfølgelig udvalgt leverandører vi har tillid til, men derfor skal man som forbruger altid være opmærksom på hvad man bruger til at fyre med.
