The question, of course, is whether it will scale to more complex cases with more elaborate option documentation (i.e., multiple paragraphs, formatting, short version for usage, extended version for man/html, etc).

For C++ there is the CLI compiler that implements a similar idea (i.e., uses a DSL) but instead of using the usage itself as a specification, it is based on the class-with-members abstraction. While the result is not as terse, it is quite a bit more flexible. Plus it allows you to specify option type (i.e., int, double, string, etc).

From a single interface specification CLI will generate C++ parsers, usage printing code, man pages, and html pages. Here is an example of a real-world interface that is handled with CLI:

It depends on what you're editing. If I'm ever writing any C/C++/Objective-C I ALWAYS use XCode even if it's only as a text editor and not a project manager/compiler, due to its fantastic syntax highlighting. TextWrangler's great as a replacement for TextEdit, but it doesn't do syntax highlighting as well as it could.
Webkit is an open source browser project. It's based on a rewrite of KDE's browser, mostly done by Apple. KDE was going to merge it back into KHTML, but they found Apple hard to work with (Apple made lots of big changes without explaining them very well, and KDE didn't have the resources to keep up).

It powers Safari and Chrome, and a lot of smaller projects (mobile browsers, email clients, etc).

"Webkit" can refer to the browser (Apple's fork Safari, or a free version of Safari), the rendering engine (WebkitCore), or the rendering and javascript components (WebkitCore and JavaScriptCore).

Google uses WebkitCore (or maybe a fork) for rendering, but their own Javascript engine.

I'm guessing ghost.py uses WebkitCore and JavaScriptCore, so you can find out how a page will be seen by Safari (and probably Chrome, since Google's JS engine shouldn't be that different in the way it behaves).

The problem with much of modern medicine is that much of it is based on flawed and biased statistical studies. Whether this is done because medical personnel don't have training in statistics, or because such studies generate funding, I don't know, but something is definitely rotten.

Let's take anything involving nutrition. Some challenges are: (1) people lie, (2) such studies can't be double-blind so placebo kicks in, (3) the statistical significance of short-term studies is zero, (4) you can't control all the variables, unless you lock those people in a cage and (5) most conclusions of such studies have the potential to confuse the cause and the effect.

But not all of science is like that. Just medicine.
Something like that. The 2008 symposium about memristors talked a bit about “material implication” as a basis for more efficient logic systems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFdDPzcZwbs

Ask HN: Open source commenting systems for static pages - alternatives to Juvia?
Comments can be invaluable, and in fact they often are, being more interesting or insightful than the commented story. Sites like LWN, HN, Reddit often stands as proofs. So? Comments are precious and you should treat them with care.

It may sound a bit cliche, but by visiting various sites and blogs I can tell that a lot of people just don't care, as they're using external solutions like Disqus and IntenseDebate. Such services surely ease going with static blog platforms and other sites, but... They take comments of your site visitors from you. They "deprive" you of full comment control. It's only up to you whether you agree to hold comments outside of your site. I have mixed feelings about choosing this _easy_ way.

That's why I'm here and asking you, dear hackers, about alternative open source solution that anyone can host on their own and use from their static pages. (It would be best if Markdown support was already built-in in them.) It's not rocket science to build such system, but if there are good ones already available, I think we could just use them instead of reinventing the wheel (at least for now :>).

Do you know any open source commenting systems for static pages besides Juvia [1]? What is the best one in terms of features and which one would you recommend?

Juvia looks ok, but I would prefer something lighter, maybe nodejs-based project. Even supporting only 1 site would be enough.

I haven't played with Unity much, but I'm running F17 and I have to say, as much as I despised Gnome 3 when I first encountered it, Gnome Shell extensions[1] have taken it from an unusable pile of excrement to a legitimate improvement on Gnome 2. Gnome Shell, for all of its design faux pas, is built on an incredibly modifiable foundation that allows you to reconfigure just about everything. Moreover, these modifications are dead simple to share (easier than adding an extension to Chrome).

Sure, it's worse than just getting the damned thing right in the first place, but it's much better to get things wrong and make them easy to fix, as Gnome has done, than get them wrong and make them unfixable, as Microsoft has. For that reason, I resent the comparison of Metro to Gnome Shell, although I get where it comes from. There's nothing wrong with Gnome that can't be fixed with some some js and CSS. Your UI is essentially a web app that you can modify arbitrarily, which is an incredibly powerful idea. Metro may have some themes, but there'll likely be no way to fix its underlying issues.

Apart from the risks inherent from running random programs via a web browser (drive by download etc). I don't see how Java is less secure than (say) a C++ or Python application?

On the client side, Java will check certificates of Applications before executing and even then will ask permission. It also has sandboxing and security policies built into the VM which should be harder to break out of than those imposed on Native code (all else being equal).

On the server side, the libraries are fairly mature (hibernate etc) and are generally designed to avoid classic traps like CSRF and SQLi etc.

How SynopsiTV Creates Recommendations
A vaccine is a virus in latent form, forcing your B-cells to produce antibodies for it. So yeah, personally I never take a vaccine that hasn't been in circulation for some time.

Also, considering that medicine is at the stage of alchemy and that doctors simply have no idea what long-term effects these vaccines have on our immune system, some questions do have to be asked.

Like, isn't it possible that with the prevalence of vaccines, our own capacity for generating antibodies gets affected?

And remember here that an exaggerated response of the immune system may be even worse than a lazier response. Such an exaggerated response may even kill you (e.g. Influenza). So either way, the long-term effects of over-reliance of vaccines may be quite bad.

Well, see, that's part of the problem. The original sample of 100 was, hopefully, selected at random. Whereas the anecdote was selected by the person telling it because he or or she thought it was apropos. With a large enough population of potential commenters, the chances of someone doing so gets really high.

Well the one nice thing about scientific research is that it's open (cue conspiracy theories), and that you can usually read the paper/draft. No one is asking you to "just believe" research; that would be stupid, and it's not how the scientific process works. The fact that you are dismissing all research outright is ridiculous, and willfully ignorant. Your sources are shabby, and you talk of "science" and "scientists" as some great collective, which is frankly impossible to do. The idea that "Something is rotten in the core of science" is a wild extrapolation; there are problems with certain fields' practices (and may always be), medicine is probably a good example. However, saying that you give research no weight is stupid, and you discredit yourself further when you say that "Science has been supplanted by money and politics"; you sound like a conspiracy theorist, and I cannot believe you actually know many academics who will back you up on that claim. For whatever the system's flaws, there is _no_ reason to say that all research cannot be trusted.
Wow, there's a lot of hate for Tracey Emin here, from people who probably know little about her work.

All I will say is that I have several of her pencil sketches in my house, and they are poignant, provocative, angry and fragile. To me, they are art. If you don't think they are, that's fine, but try to not let your frustration at not having a reaction make you belittle those that do.

Also, anyone who walked around and saw some of Damien Hirst's work before the Sotheby's auction a few years ago might been stunned at some of what was seen. The shark in a tank was a spectacular piece but a lot of that was in how it was staged and presented.

Art is a very personal thing. There's plenty of stuff I really don't like, but if others do, that's fine.

I don't really know enough about the subject to agree or disagree, I just thought the points the author made were interesting.

However, to try and answer your question, I don't think that it can be as simple as taking one country's solution and applying it to another, it seems to be that economics at this scale is maybe close to the complexity of weather systems, and therefore each situation is unique.

I do hate it when someone on the Internet thinks I am a troll.

Firstly, yes I am sure I should have phrased my position better. So lets try that

- If you listen to hundreds of hydrophones over hundreds of hours, and hear only a handful of unexplained sounds, and promote only half a dozen, it is unlikely what you promote is of scientific interest. It may be interesting but not of interest.

And thats it. NOAA has done no more then say some of its findings it cannot explain ... and then self-selected a few that sound a bit weird.

This does not make them important, relevant, repeatable, or admitting of no explanation whatsoever. Just not explained now. And later they could explain some (Upsweep being a volcano that was thought extinct)

And 'we' then anthropomorphize. Can we hear the word Julia? No we cannot. (go listen to the TED talk below - last 3 minutes)

I recognise there are many things in a deep ocean we have not seen or discovered (I liked Bill Brysons analogy that we had explored the Oceans depths as if we explored Central Park using 5 guys on tractors, at night with torches). But weird sounds that you have to squint at to find meaning in. Squarely in the Skeptical category of for me publication bias and anchoring.

I am unclear what is a mathematical wave property, but I am clear that it is reasonable to use fish singing broadway melodies as a stand-in for unusual events underneath the ocean waves. I was not suggesting that to be a literal explanation. (Even though it would be a good one to hear)

Oceanographer comment:

(NOAA- Yes, Oceanographers - measuring and mapping the ocean - with 3bn of their 5bn budget aimed at satellites, weather monitoring and plain old research, I am happy to categorise them as Oceanographers.

When you cannot control all the variables, it's important to have a large enough sample that the randomness in each direction for the different variables essentially cancels itself out.

Also what does "the statistical significance of short-term studies is zero" mean? I don't think it means what you think it means.

I would argue that short-term studies (for nutrition anyway) have little clinical significance, despite their statistical significance. I'm in medicine, and I read papers all the time detecting a statistical difference between control and experimental groups, but the difference is so tiny that it's meaningless. This is the balance you have to strike with large sample sizes. With a large enough sample, small differences are likely to be statistically significant but the key is determining if the difference is worthwhile.

I blame bad science reporting for a lot of the anger you are feeling. Reporters don't seem to understand what they are reporting, and often the scientists themselves are (accidentally or on purpose) making it worse.

I think that remains to be seen. If the existence of this laptop in the market drives consumers to seek out laptops with this resolution display, and other laptop makers are required to offer laptops of similar resolution, and web developers convert their graphics to work well with "Retina" resolutions ... then you could make the case that it's game-changing. But it will be awhile before that's known.
If you just need a way to get paid then there are better ways than setting up a company. You could easily waste a lot of time there.

You can set up the contracts in such a way that you retain the option to buy them out and set up your own company at some point in the future.

The biggest problem Java Applets had and still have is that it's so much pain to update the Java plugin that most users are left with old versions that have documented exploits.

I don't get why it doesn't auto-update itself - if browsers like Chrome or Firefox can auto-update themselves automatically, why can't the Java plugin?

> A vaccine is a virus in latent form

Not exactly, it's not a virus in latent form, it's either a killed virus, a piece of a virus, or a different virus that is weak, but provokes the same reaction as the more important one.

(Do you know what latent means? It means that it shows up later, which vaccines do not do.)

> So yeah, personally I never take a vaccine that hasn't been in circulation for some time.

Yah, me too, but let's not overreact with nonsense.

> Like, isn't it possible that with the prevalence of vaccines, our own capacity for generating antibodies gets affected?

No, it's not possible. That's completely ridiculous. Do you know anything about vaccines at all? Seriously, that really makes no sense whatsoever. A vaccine does not do anything at all to our capacity to generate antibodies. All it does is take the exact same virus you would get if you got sick, and expose you to it in advance, that's all. It gives you a head start in making antibodies, but does not affect the generation of them in any way.

> And remember here that an exaggerated response of the immune system may be even worse than a lazier response. Such an exaggerated response may even kill you (e.g. Influenza).

And a vaccine creates a muted response, quite the opposite. Compared to a simple cold a vaccine consists of a minuscule number of virus particles. The entire trouble with making a vaccine is trying to get enough of a response, most of the time the body ignores it.

> So either way, the long-term effects of over-reliance of vaccines may be quite bad.

And how do you figure that? I'm not following your logic at all. Unless your logic is that the vaccine somehow changes the bodies response, which it doesn't. So hopefully now that I've cleared that up you will no longer claim this.
f@#ing finally?
I'm a bit disappointed that none of Keynes ideas were present, and there are good contenders:

* Unemployment is a involuntary, but there are solutions to it.
* Economic crises can be significantly mitigated and avoided with regulation.
* Forcing a heavy reparations burden on Germany will undermine peace.

They replaced the previous set of ideas that were more about assigning blame (crises are a retribution for mistakes and should be allowed to continue, unemployment is voluntary and Germany must pay).

Without his influence, the world will be a much different place. Much more than the WWW which is simply one of many possible layers on the Internet.
