Thanks, I wasn't aware they changed regularly. From what I can find, 4 v4 IPs have changed since 1997, plus the addition of a number of v6 IPs over the years. I'd be curious to know the last time all IPs were different, if ever.
This is nothing like failing to recognize that Laplace did most of the work in Bayesian Probability. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor#Historical_timeline. The subject did not suddenly explode from nascent form to real subject due to Williams' efforts.

Summary: Without the theoretical foundation of Chua people would have gone on for much longer finding the same concept in different guises without realizing that these were really just aspects of the same phenomenon. In addition, there are those who claim priority on HP's underlying tech and there is even a paper publishing similar experimental results as far back as the late 60s which the HP team did not cite. Again, if this was due to mere ignorance then the unifying power of theory to carve a template so that experiments did not continue to be repeated blindly strengthens the value of Chua's work. There is also criticism for the currently liberal labeling of what constitutes memristive behavior and HP is implicated in trying to do a patent landgrab.

If one person's work had to be picked as the inflection point then it would have to be Chua.

Do you need to ensure that all of your data fits in memory? It's easily possible to have ten gigs in your db but only need a small amount of it to be hot in ram. Does it take a really long time to restart if it has to warm all the data?
There's a lot of truth in what you said but there is also the other side of that, which is disturbingly real, which is a bunch of yuppies looking at weird shit and playing along with the game because they were told it was classy and artistic. A prime example of this can be seen in the film 'Exit Through the Gift Shop'. It's a documentary about Banksy, the street artist, or at least it started out that way. Basically, this French immigrant to LA, Thierry Guetta was obsessed with street art, banksy, and filming his every waking moment. He went on a journey to find Banksy, did it, and then was kind of mentored by some in the street art scene.

At the end of the film Guetta himself is having this enormous underground art exhibit and famous people like Brad Pitt come! But Guetta is not an artist. It is obvious that he's posing. To say he's emulating his heroes is putting it very nicely. The guy is literally going around an abandoned warehouse throwing strange shit together for the sake of it being strange, calling it art, and then people eat it up going so far as to say he's a genius.

The point is, there was no context. It was strange for strange's sake but it got labelled as art. Everyone is an artist. We all have the ability to be creative and make our own art. That cannot be debated. But what can is how much of it really deserves recognition and what criteria does a work of art have to possess before we can hang it in a gallery and say "that's real art"? For me, real art has a message, it has skill, it is intentional, and the artist puts a genuine piece of themselves into it that you can just really sense. But I digress...

I highly recommend the film, it used to be on Netflix. I think it's a perfect compliment to this article.

This is true. At least give it a try.
But anyways I dont understand why we (in general) are discussing this "motivation thing" so often.
I mean if you are highly motivated and expect to succeed but fail in the end you will be really disappointed.
But same happens if you are aware of the (high?) probability of failing. You will still be aweful disappointed since you started (or continued) your idea and for some reason didn't quit it.

Could it be a grouse?

Your descriptions of a 'diesel engine starting' are different than the description in the wiki article of a diesel engine running. A running diesel engine would make a droning hum, while a starting one would click or tick and thump faster and faster into a hum.

That start-up noise is very similar to the sound of a grouse, a common bird in rural areas. A friend and I were hiking for a few days a few years ago, and we felt completely isolated and hadn't heard human noise for days... except that someone kept starting an engine a few hundred yards away! We knew it must not be people, but were baffled.

When we finally got back we asked his family members if they knew the source of those noises, and they showed us a youtube clip about grouse. Surprisingly noisy little things. I would seek a video for you, but I am on a restrictive telephone.

Those aren't anecdotes, they are hypotheticals. They are useful, but statistically they occur even more infrequently than anecdotes.
Please forgive me if I have fundamentally misunderstood this, but is this article suggesting that anecdotes are some how comparable to scientific research data?

If one wants to "attack" an anecdote, then a contrarian anecdote is the weapon.

If one wants to attack scientific data, you need contrarian scientific data.

At least, I hope that is right. There for, to mix the two is like attacking a tank with a wooden stick.

Surely, anecdotes are used as the premise of scientific research. Lots of people tell stories. There seems to be something interesting going on. Then you do the research and produce the data. If the data is conclusive, then your past the anecdote. If later contrarian anecdotes appear, and they seem significant, off you go to scientific research again.

Another reason the second may be better:

- Wrap the stack program in a transaction and simply discard the results to roll back the transaction. In an imperative program it is error prone to roll back a complicated operation—the most innocent looking function might mutate external state.
You would think skateboarding is not relevant to HN, but watch what this guy can do after years of practice. I encourage you to Google his "I love skateboarding" video.
It still uses a transaction log, but seems to make snapshots of the logs at a period of time to create compressed snapshots of the data itself.

You can turn off durability, but then you risk losing everything.

For features... forget about geo-spatial extensions - they can only do read-committed isolation level... but as they only allow for one SQL statement per transaction I suppose this might not be such a big concern.

If you were using this for something like a session management database, or something where durability is not so important then it's probably fine. Not sure I'd use it for anything that relies heavily on transaction management features.

I see other limitations, like it cannot support CHANGE COLUMN, and it can't do joins on more than 2 tables. Actually, it doesn't look like it can do FULL OUTER or RIGHT OUTER joins, either. :(

It's not a straw man, it's hyperbole. What I mean to suggest is not that people actually believe that any other form of knowledge is completely untrue. It's a matter of the relative importance of science compared to other ways of knowing. Scientific medicine vs. other traditions is a great example. Many people seem to have that attitude that if something has not be scientifically shown to be effective, then it cannot be effective, thus implying that scientific medicine is "the one truth" about healing.
No, this is about computed values (of e.g. volume) rather than human measurement.

I'd be interested as to what you think the point of org-mode is. It's principally a free form note taking and outlining mode, not a todo app like you might be imagining.

edit: clarified intent
The point is that to me, there is a difference between "I hate my boss" and "I hate vegetables." If I go out drinking with my boss and determine he's not that bad, I might express that as "I don't hate him anymore." If I try several new kinds of vegetables and determine that I like them, I wouldn't say "I no longer hate them" but rather "I was wrong - there are some I like."

This is because "I hate vegetables" doesn't mean I'm feeling something in the same way "I hate my boss" does. Again, what it really means is "if I eat a vegetable, I will not enjoy it."

Also, I invoke Godwin's law.
Awesome demo! However, I seem to have trouble finding the "docs" section for developers.

I see:

* http://support.count.ly/kb/sdk-installation (but there is nothing about how to call init(), etc).

* http://support.count.ly/kb/web-installation/installing-count... (but nothing about the requirements in the event I'm not on Ubuntu and have to install from source/other packages)

Having these two things are paramount to the usage of your software.

> They way I see it, and I'm no expert on this topic, a longer password is better than a short, completely random one. The attacker doesn't know how long your password is, so he will start with short passwords.

Did you read the article? It describes exactly what a possible attacker does. And it's not "start with short passwords".

There's only two options:

- Use a really random password string, from a non-broken random generator

- Do something nobody else does

The latter only works if you can stop yourself from bragging about it on public fora. Which is why one of the best pieces of advice for secure passphrases is to include something really, really embarrassing, horrible, shameful, completely unfit for print and absolutely boring. Especially don't use a funny quip or play on words, don't try to be clever, there ought to be no audience to appreciate it. And if at all possible it shouldn't even look like a password.

(kinda OT) I read that advice many years ago, and I don't understand why Julian Assange did not take it to heart. Remember when that Guardian journalist wrote his book and published the passphrase to that AES encrypted data dump (because the nitwit assumed the AES passphrase would be automatically invalidated after a few hours ...), it was something like "a diplomatic history from <date>" with some random uppercasing, special characters, etc. It would have been pretty strong, except it was WAY too clever and typical-super-secret-password-looking to use for the sort of hypersensitive data Assange was carrying about. If he had simply picked some terribly bad and misspelled slashfic involving Martin Luther King, a dead baby and pres. Nixon--like Spider Jerusalem would've done--no way the Guardian journalist would have published that, anywhere.

I'm in the very early stages of porting an app from Python to Javascript, and I have no illusion that it's going to work out of the box from a translator (lots of third party libraries, and switching from server side to client side). But it would be nice if at least some of the obvious syntax could be translated.

However, all of the several translators I've tried simply die with a message like "this library is not supported" or "this language feature isn't supported" and then they produce absolutely no output, which isn't any help at all. Are there any translators that will simply skip over stuff they don't understand while translating stuff they do understand?

Also, side note, those floating boxes on the right side of your blog make it impossible to grab the scrollbar thingie when it is under them, as it is near the top of the page, which is very annoying to me.

Not sure what you are comparing against. However, from what I've seen of SQL Server execution plans, actually it's extremely robust and I would have to argue that it can often be far more efficient than even Oracle. I've used both.*

Incidentally, sorry if I seem to be disparaging the product. I'm actually looking at it myself, but want to know what the limitations are. Multi-statement queries would be a big win. Are you considering implementing higher isolation levels? Also, as was asked above, how are the startup times for multi-gigabyte/terrabyte databases?

* Hint for the unwary - if you run a SELECT statement with a WHERE 1=0 AND <rest of predicates> (for brain dead "dynamic" SQL generating apps), the initial compilation can take a dramatically long time in Oracle 10g (and I believe 11g, but cannot confirm). Oracle have not got any mechanism to shortcut the query compilation for such queries. A bit obscure, but I never saw this problem with SQL Server. Oracle support were stumped by the issue too and gave me short-shrift ("it might be fixed in an 11g patch... some time").
One of my first thoughts after hearing the original iPhone announcement was "what a low resolution screen".

After all, the Nokia 770, released a couple of years before the iPhone, had an 800x480 screen.

Most full websites back then were usable on an 800 pixel screen. Because it had a low-res screen, the iPhone required mobile versions, which I thought would doom it due to the chicken and egg problem.

Remember, back then the iPhone didn't allow third party apps, the "blessed" way of adding capability to your iPhone was through web sites. Who would buy an iPhone if it didn't have any apps or mobile web sites? Who would mobile web sites if nobody bought an iPhone?

Apparently, I was wrong.

Showrooming is done to decide what product to buy over another or get a quick overview of what's current and available. These things are not impossible to do online. If anything they are much more powerful since they can be customized. Amazon understands this and I'm sure they are investing a lot of money to improve the experience. This experience will only improve online.

There will most definitely be a tipping point where the brick stores will see most of their revenue disappear to online shops ... regardless of showrooming happening in their stores or not. Online is just the way to go.
How can you unsubscribe from spam? If you didn't subscribe to it in the first place then no amount of pleading will make them stop and if you did subscribe then it's not spam. The only things that help is aggressive filtering and and a good email client. Everything else is in the hands of sysadmins.

I do not see the purported usefulness of this.
Most of what you listed as "solved" by scala isn't a problem in haskell in the first place. The JVM is a problem, not a solution to the problem haskell has of "actually working". Listing "our possible semantics are gimped by java" as a feature seems rather bizarre. Debugging? Have you ever tried debugging haskell? It works just fine.

>Tool support. The Scala IDE alone has 10 people working on it. Compare it to Leksah and EclipseFP.

I don't think insulting the people working on the scala eclipse plugin is very productive. Yes they have more people, and yes it is annoying that it is still not as good as haskell's eclipse plugin, but give them some time.

>The REPL is just a lot more usable.

In what way? The fact that it is way slower? You seem to be just listing random things as if you've never tried haskell.

You are the first person I've ever seen make that claim. Hell, people use maven because SBT is so bad.

For me, art is what ever I say it is. It is irrelevant to me what other people think. If I find art in something, then to me it is art. That should be the same for every one else. If you find art in something, who the hell am I to tell you you are wrong? My opinion should be irrelevant to every one else. Nice if we think the same, but not necessary. No one should be allowed to definitively define art. It is personal.
