Cant remember where I read this, but I realized a while back the folly of "rewriting your code". Your code looks messy because it works. Its the result of weeks of testing and bug fixes. It can handle special cases and is robust.

Many a times, to start of, a clever 5 or 10 lines would suffice. But the moment you start testing it for production, it'd require more and more logic to handle _all_ the cases.
I'm not sure that's true. Though it obviously depends more on the programmer themself, the semantics of a language can make it easier, at least, to write higher quality code. For example, bounds checking removes a whole class of bugs (probably the most common in C) from the equation. I disagree that this effect could be described as "marginal".
I never attempted to write about my company. I submitted a request to have my company created as an entry. You need to have your company name created first before anyone can write about you.
The article is talking about passwords which makes auto-correct useless, but I also do a lot of stuff over SSH (SQL queries, UNIX commands, basic vim editing) and the ability to do so allows me to be farther away from my desk even on days when I'm responsible for tech support and diagnosing problems with our products/servers so accurate typing is very critical to me personally.

Aside from that (and this is purely anecdotal) I spend a reasonable amount of my time de-autocorrecting typos sent to me by people using auto-correct on their phones.

I also found in my time using a touchscreen keyboard (and, during that time I was not using auto-correct specifically because I wanted to train myself to be able to work without it for reasons mentioned previously) the lack of physical feedback and the fact that there was only one "mode" of touch (either touching or not touching) where as with a physical keyboard you have not touching, touching and actively pressing meant that I would continually make the same mistakes over and over and over, where as within a day or so of using a new physical keyboard I've adapted to it and my error rates drop significantly.

You call an ambulance, that has an overclocked version of the self-driving chip :).

I don't see the self-driving car as a completely different car than a normal one - maybe more like an expensive option (with all the sensors, data and stuff it will be expensive) for a normal car, that can give you back the control when you want it.

You might be interested in the Parsoid project, which Wikimedia funded precisely to try to build a more maintainable pipeline for parsing syntax into some kind of AST or document model, disentangled from the other cruft: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid

I believe it's currently being maintained separately, so the logic in MediaWiki itself is still the crufty version.

I can personally* confirm that that is exactly how sites like Orbitz and Cheaptickets worked 4+ years ago. Lots of Java and Linux up front. But deep in the back a bunch of 3270 terminal scrapers to mainframes. But that was then. Hopefully they've upgraded those things by now. Despite the principle of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" there's also the issue of decreasing compatibility and decreasing availability of folks who know how those things work and can maintain them.

(* If you've bought air tickets or made car rentals on either of those sites, at least back during that era, it's almost guaranteed my code touched your transaction at various points in the search and booking lifecycle.)
Okay, "free" was poor phrasing. I should have said "no extra charge". Compare this to the situation described in the original article, where the developer had to buy a separate $59 certificate from a third party, on top of what Microsoft charges you for Visual Studio (which looks to be $499 for the cheapest non-evaluation version).
sarcasm...?
I'm not an expert on this algorithm, but I'm quite sure that the algorithm does not recover information which exists in the image; rather, it invents information which categorically does not exist. Since both the natural world and many built objects are quasi-fractal in nature (repeating windows in a building, leaves on a plant, etc.), the information which it invents often happens to be correct. For non-fractal items like license plates, however, there's no chance that it would produce a useful result.

I'm pretty sure that if you seeded the algorithm with images of many other Texas license plates, and then asked it to sharpen this image, what you'd get would simply be the super-resolution sum of all the other Texas license plates. It would show you something that looked intelligible, but actually had absolutely nothing to do with the original image. That would do more to confuse the issue than to shed light on it.

The other point is that I'm not sure how well this would actually work on blurry images, or whether (as a super-resolution technique) it's very specialised for working on pixelated images.

That said, if it can work on blurry images too, then it would be a fun and interesting exercise to see what other historical images could yield insight (or confusion) with this kind of enhancement.
I wouldn't go that far but if you use stuff that's in draft you need to accept that adoption of that standard may be patchy and / or inconsistent.
In Malaysia's case, it's more because of the way race and by association religion is split almost 50-50 among the local population.

The result is that Malaysia has a large enough non-Muslim population to avoid becoming a full-blown theocracy like Saudi Arabia, but still have a large enough religious base to be considered a 'conservative' country.
>Think about it, if Apple had a woman's input, do you think it'd be named iPad?!? For fck sake, it's the most ridiculous name ever, reminding half the population of the embarrassing trip to the drug store.*

Really? Because women in the eighties for example didn't seem to have any problems with, say, shoulder-pads, on the contrary, they were VERY popular.

That lame argument was played a lot in some news sites when the thing was introduced. It died in like 1-2 weeks, as 99.9% of the people don't make the BS mental connection between the two things.

Not to mention there isn't much of a connection in the first place. Not much more than notepads, shoulder-pads, launchpads, trackpads or touchpads have...

Plus, wasn't one of the most popular laptop brands the ThinkPad from IBM?

(Oh, and that said, it's only "half the population" of US (and/or UK). In Europe, L.America, Africa or Asia the name doesn't not mean anything at all).
Also, people might be worried about uploading private photos.
Maybe Apple have their own video showing how to game their site and this other one is a bit too similar?
I think this is very common with new simple magical frameworks / languages too. They work really well for most common tasks but can't handle the edge cases.
Well, if Wikipedia didn't have any money at all, there would be no articles whatsoever. Wouldn't that be worse?
yup, Microsoft and the companies issuing certificates have been at this for over a year, we had to get a certificate last year when we saw this issue.

It's a nice money maker for them getting all those yearly certificates, some charging several hundreds of dollars per year.
Manage all your social networking websites 
Today’s latest technology has many solutions for socializing and one among them is social networking site. The sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google plus are increasingly becoming famous in the society because of its high outreach to communicate with the society.
If not, why not include the option of a free cert for each windows/compiler download?

That way even those who ship free software would sign it and thereby make windows safer.

But of course MS isn't interested in that when they can get paid for it.

>I'll bite too: state that theorem as its inverse and dare to argue for it: Demographic uniformity is a good thing.

Well, if you have it, demographic uniformity is a good thing indeed. If anything it translates to less racial tension, more intra-community trust etc.

That doesn't mean that it's good to expel people, minorities etc, to achieve it if you don't have it. But if you do have it it's translates to fewer problems along the way. In the end, you either struggle FOR integration (ie towards "demographic uniformity") or different groups struggle to exclude the others (ie towards "demographic uniformity" again, but in their favor).

Just ask any African country that has been plagued by different ethnicities and cultures into war for power / control...
Decent price?

It is at least 55 dolars too high.
Incentives also tend to disfavor "popular" work like blogging, but I think in parts of academia that is somewhat changing. May be changing less slowly with regard to experts in industry, some of whom also have confidentiality issues to worry about.

As one example, law-professor blogs have really taken off. They're good for building reputation and making a legal argument actually have real-world impact (people read them, whereas the average law review article is little read), and sometimes have even been cited in court decisions! So there is a movement towards law professors doing more popularly oriented, but still legally sound, writing; and towards universities taking this into account.

Science has also long had some research/popular-writing crossover, and there are a number of researchers who blog in areas like physics and climate science. And mathematics has an increasingly strong blogging culture, with Terence Tao setting the nearly impossible to top example. So I think there is good stuff out there if you know where to look. Of course, it's also good to experiment on your own, and also to look elsewhere (e.g., in books).
Definitely worth forwarding to your representatives - or anyone else concerned about public policy regarding patents.
yeah but other languages have better minima cause they hand-hold so much, like python
Intellectual stimulation is not always a pleasant experience, which tends to make people susceptible to restricting their reading to material with which they broadly agree.

For most HN readers, I'd suggest visiting a site like http://www.vdare.com
For longer and more interactive shell interactions you can use job control, if your shell supports job control (bash, zsh and pretty much every reasonable user shell in existence). Ctrl-Z will suspend vim and drop you back into your shell, you can then unsuspend vim by running "fg" (at least in bash).

Alternatively, my own work flow consists of using tmux to have a split screen terminal, Vim left, REPL right.

While I'm no fan of G4S or PFI projects, this article is just empty wind.

Where is the evidence that "cash [...] is redirected into shareholders' pockets"? This would be an ideal topic for a scientific study: do outsourced projects cost less for the buyer, or do they cost the same/more and does that extra money go to shareholders? Unfortunately reading this article will not tell you the answer to this or other interesting questions.
This is my thought, too. I think self-driving cars are extremely cool, but I think that a lot .

Once self-driving cars are "the new normal", they'll be a lot more comfortable than regular cars. Which means that a lot of people won't think twice about a 75-minute car commute, because with internet access and the ability to read and an extremely comfortable chair, it won't be unpleasant to do so. And we will (because our reaction time is slow compared to a computer's) be able to raise the speed limits once self-driving cars are the norm: 150 mph highways where human-driven cars are banned, just as you can't take a bicycle on 65-mph highway. None of this is inherently bad, but I hope we won't be burning hydrocarbons to do it.
Wasn't the temporary ban on the Galaxy Nexus lifted? Apple is still sending these takedown notices right now, even though the ban was lifted?
Good work guys, i tried it but...I don't really understand why do we need a desktop client. With google drive all the documents/colelction are available offline and accessible with one click from spotlight "cmd+space -> name of the document - et voilà"
I'm pretty sure you could root your car to make it go faster, just as you can root your phone to overclock it ;)
It could be structured based on kittens and be at least as secure. I could steal a guys wallet, copy his id, slip it back or just throw it out, buy a certificate, slip virus laden software and it would get a huge seal of approval.
Is it a silent Majority? I don't think anyone will doubt that not every interesting thing that gets done gets published and discussed on the internet and on blogs, but I don't know if I would say its a majority. From my experience there are some people in the software world who think they are either not noteworthy enough to write about what their doing or they are too noteworthy ( I am not going to share my amazing super advantage I got by making this really smart and novel thing). I have found however that in general software development, like any technical trade, works best when its subject to peer review and an open community. I think most people also know this, which is why the tech heavyweights have talked about their infrastructure and technique. They do it so others can build on what they have done and as a community we can build on each other.

There are a few who don't care to participate thinking they are either above it or below it , but the truth is most people do and everyone should.
While often you do get rock solid code that is ugly and just works. there is nothing to say that elegant code can't solve all the problems and do it in a more readable and maintainable way. When I started transition my coding style form a imperative/OO base to a more functional base I found that you can get many elegant solutions that handle edge cases and are maintainable by designing a solution instead of growing one.
Why not simply accept that wikipedia has a particular bias, and set up your own wiki - fashionpedia perhaps - if you want to create articles that wikipedia doesn't accept?

Wikipedia has become a success because of its culture. It should be very careful about changing that based on the demands of the entitled multitudes.

Fail Client: How Linux Fails At The Corporate Desktop
>how many women are in your office?

Speaking for my previous company: 3, for a 12 strong team.

>How many black people?

0

>-- and why do you think that is?*

For black people it's because my country never sent slave merchants to bring black people to work here as slaves, so we haven't artificially built a black population like you did.

For women it's because we never get any competent candidates to hire, if we ever even are approached from a woman applicant.

Mid-nineties, in my university for CS, women were 1/6 to men. In the Math and Applied Math departments it was 1/1. In biology and medicine it was 2/1. In Literature it was 3/1.

And, no, it wasn't about "geeks" being sexist, and that BS.

The notion of the "computer geek" wasn't even known at the time, the jobs most of us expected to work were normal office jobs alongside other office workers, and all the students in the campus (from all departments) were more or less the same (kids just out of high school). Women just weren't interested enough to put CS in their application forms for college.

So there you have it.
ISP's might delay the "6-strike" plan
Sorry, but that's just totally wrong. They had 1 or 2 issues caused by being a Slovenian company (not being allowed to publish apps, and the inability to switch the owner of an app). All the other complaints would apply to any new developer.

- Even after registering a US company they couldn't make an account for it, even with a US credit card.

- The certification process was horribly broken. The app had already been approved once, but now it suddenly got into a vortex of rejections. One reason at the time, rather than an up front list with everything wrong with it.

- They report the publishing tools as being crap.

- Microsoft just fucked over their WP7 developers and users by making sure that WP7 apps can't get any visibility in the app store.

That last point should be particularly chilling. Some people have argued that the horribly mishandled WP7->WP8 migration isn't that big a deal for existing WP7 users. They'd say that developers will continue targeting WP7 for everything except games that need native code, or apps that need hardware features like NFC. Well, clearly it's not so. If you want an app to have any visibility, you'll need to target Windows 8.

(This also looks like yet another giant middle finger directed at Nokia. They're going to be forced to sell WP7 on low end phones for years, since the minimum hardware specs of WP8 are just too high at the moment. And now it becomes clear that MS is actively trying to drive developers off these devices onto the non-existing ones.)

What this articles says is any diet which says you can eat the same number of calories and lose weight is lying. Some diets may make you want to eat less calories, but you cannot eat the same number of calories and lose more weight without doing more exercise.
There is a more general point here. There seems to be a growing assumption that activity on the internet is some how proportional to activity in real life. Yes this could be a problem for programmers, but IMHO, its becoming more and more of a problem with news gathering. Issues or causes with facebook and twitter accounts get far more coverage than those with out. Basically these sites provide tittle tattle to fill the 24hr news channels. OK, cool if you happen to be in a banana republic dictatorship with internet access, but deep in Africa, your tribe can be slaughtered and no one knows.
Wikipedia is going to give up on Deletionism. It's just a matter of when and how.

The users want it to be different, the users want Inclusionism. It's going to happen, with them or with whatever comes after them.

Wikipedia is better off getting in front of that parade and leading it rather than being run over by it.
Express isn't an evaluation version. Also, it's trivially easy to get setup with BizSpark if you're a small startup and get free copies of Visual Studio.
If self-driving cars keep their much safer track record when they start being actually used by the public, maybe they can adapt the carpool lane to be a self-driving car lane which has a higher speed limit?
I've worked with far more excellent people who don't blog than with those who do. In many cases, confidentiality agreements prevent the really cool stuff those people work on from seeing the light of day (except of course nestled deeply within the binary of the product in question, if it's even for public release). I don't have data, but anecdotally I'm completely willing to believe it's the majority.

This is only an issue because it is possible and as a result we are infantilising ourselves. If you cannot be contacted over something that you would find important, this is not a tragedy, even if the circumstances are tragic. Before telephones, people would still travel all over the world and would only find out things like this by letter, sometimes months after the event.
I'm sure a large part of the reason Microsoft wouldn't offer it for free is that, at the time, any effort on Microsoft's part to enter a new market off the back of an existing market would be scrutinized pretty heavily by the DOJ. They couldn't even add virus scanning functionality to Windows because of anti-trust concerns.
The problem with application-specific extension languages is that they may start underpowered and ad-hoc, whilst general purpose languages have already proved their worth and done so in several domains.

Vim designers tried to reinvent the wheel and failed to implement a decent extension language from the beginning, whilst GNU Emacs designers didn't reinvent the wheel and adapted a mainstream general purpose language to their needs. So, while Vim users were busy wrestling with the limitations of their extension language and coping by adding ad-hoc extensions here and there, Emacs users were busy churning out macros and packages for their editor.

The main reason I have chosen Emacs as my editor is that I get more bang for the buck. Emacs can emulate Vim, whilst the opposite is not true, as the folks who tried to port SLIME (a powerful package to code in Common Lisp) realized.

We agree that an embedded extension language is the way to go. And whatever mainstream language you might choose, it could go out of fashion after a while anyway.
"Sexualized"? That is, with the newspeak concept of: "oh, it can hurt the feelings of some sex"?

Well, I fail to see the difference between "generally offensive language", then.

It too can hurt the feelings of a very large part of a population -- the conservative, prudish ones.

Do you imply that something being offensive to (some) women as women, is worse than something being offensive to (some) conservative people as conservative people (which might be even more populous than women in general)?

It seems to me that the PC police just wants to build it's own prudish rules...
I can name SpaceX as a successful example of outsourcing.

The real reason is probably more akin to "incentive matters".
According to the article, Apple was sending the takedowns before the lift.

"Apple began sending those notices associated with the Galaxy Nexus on June 3, the same day U.S. Judge Lucy Koh turned down Samsung’s appeal on the injunction. Three days later, however, Judge Koh suspended the injunction."

The Verge probably makes this part more clear:

"According to Samsung, several sellers received letters ordering them to cease selling the two devices in late June and early July, before the ban on the Galaxy Nexus was stayed."

Here in the UK, a lot of activities that were traditionally the responsibility of the state (health, education, policing) are increasingly being outsourced. Conventional wisdom is that the private sector is just much more efficient than the state can ever be, but I have never been able to find evidence-based studies for or against this. It always seems to taken as axiomatic. Can anyone point me to unbiased work that has been done on outcomes in outsourcing of state functions?

As someone who works in the private sector, I find the idea that it is just intrinsically more efficient than modern state organisations to be pretty hard to believe. But thats just anecdotal, and I'd like to know more and maybe have my opinion modified.
