The closest semantics I found were the location hints: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/KeyboardEvent#Key_locat...

The problem is, only the keyboard hardware knows where the keys are physically located. The OS knows the layout and could probably expose the QWERTY-equivalent keys, which would be sufficient for not-too-exotic keyboards, but I don't know if that is available to applications in a way that is sufficiently portable for browsers to expose it.

Chromium seems to expose this to Pepper plugins; here is the bug for making it an experimental js api: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=119362
Getting the lowlevel keycode is nonportable (I didn't find the implementation, but found switch cases and fallbacks if it doesn't exist). Conversion to a portable usb-hid-equivalent keycode is left as a stub in the patch that introduced the Pepper feature.

just to expand, it is highly unlikely you would have any issues with the three months period in general, as there is no structure to actually check if you have been in a country more than three months or not (no borders so you can most likely claim that you were in another country until yesterday).
Interesting story. My larger concern is that incumbent businesses and political interests will use this type of story to spread FUD that enables them to enact fear-based regulation before the benefits of cheap 3D printing can be realized by the general population. One simply has to look at piracy concerns and asanine infosec and privacy regulations for previous examples.

I've always liked the explanation of different sizes of infinity that compares the infinite set of whole numbers to the larger infinite set of fractions.
You misunderstood me. I said a reward, but not gamification. The reward when you complete a successful duplicate line shortcut is that you see a duplicate line. This helps associate result with muscle action. I'm arguing that this cements the memory even more.

I personally just don't like app invites. I don't use them, and I literally never pay attention to ones I get.

That said, the clusters are really impressive. All of my clusters were basically just groups of people from different times/events of my life (highschool people/friends, college friends, colleagues, people I knew when I lived in Syracuse, etc). It's an obvious way to separate my groups of networks, and it was fast. That's useful in so many contexts

> Using bleeding edge features will always cause cross-browser problems like this

Well, the problem is that these aren't bleeding edge features. FileSystem API is the most bleeding of all mentioned and that's been in stable Chrome for almost a year. The others have been available in some combination of stable browsers for multiple years. (And most were specced 3+ years ago)

Compare this sort of behavior with something like Windows Metro, iOS, Android, where apps are using newly introduced APIs within weeks of release, and I think he's justified in wanting better compatibility out of the web platform.

I believe that the Cyc Knowledge Base still has lisp components although they are translated into Java for deployment. The functional style of lisp is used, not CLOS or other lisp object orientated techniques.
Those sets have the same cardinality...
The set of fractions isn't larger than the set of whole numbers, so how good an explanation could it be?
Yes, I see what you mean regarding app invites.

What if we were to identify your evangelists based on "cluster completion?" What I mean by this is that we'd look for clusters that go from being densely unregistered friend clusters to densely registered over time, and see which friend(s) were the catalyst(s).
I don't necessarily agree with everything written here, but I think it is a good discussion starter. Personally, I think the editor has a huge part in the "code reading" and "thinking" phases. In the former I jump around a lot, and a code reader would end up looking like vim or eclipse or whatever with insertion disabled, and replaced with some sort of annotation mechanism (instead of just inserting comments). I understand that there are other cool things a reader could do, but they would be most useful as additions to an editor anyway, as they have uses in editing and maintaining as well. For the later, I do sometimes walk away from the problem to think, but other times I jump around and look at various bits to help remember the "shape" or imagine how the "shape" of bits would change with my latest ideas.
I'd argue it's not that easy to up and quit a job if you have even just one variable added to the situation such as being limited to location. Maybe remote working is the answer. Know of any great remote jobs for Grails/Java developers?
Why is that a harder question? It's a direct corollary of Cantor's Theorem that there is no largest cardinal number (assuming the powerset axiom, of course).
Because this sort of thing is not an intended use case for copyright? You may as well say crowbars are incompatible with free speech because I could hit somebody with one to get him to stop talking. Copyright isn't meant to cover ideas, so it couldn't, in a hypothetical well-functioning system, be used to restrict free speech in a meaningful way.
There are the same number of whole numbers as there are fractions/rational numbers (my favorite quick proof -- every whole number is a rational number (itself over 1). Map each n/m in lowest terms to 2^n*3^m for an injection of rationals into the integers (by the fundamental theorem of arithmetic)).

How does that mean they aren't patent trolls?

Surely the standard procedure for a patent troll is: Find company doing whatever-it-is; get in touch with them and say "We think you're using our IP; how about licensing it from us?"; talk to them; either license or sue.

However, as it happens it doesn't appear that Mformation are pure patent trolls; they do actually sell software.

Generic titles get more clicks, because the reader needs to click through and read the article to find out whether they're affected by the ruling. For the most clicks, headlines need to be specific enough to pique your interest, but vague enough that you can't feel satisfied that you know the whole story just from the headline. I can't say whether the submitter consciously considered that or not, but this story's headline is a great example of how well it works.
>But for right now, it's nexus7 vs. iPad or Kindle Fire.

Not really. The ASUS line of transformers have been getting updates very quickly and they're slated to get JB soon. The tablet situation has little to do with the phone situation. Most of the delays and horrid policies come straight from the carriers, not the OEMs. I expect the tablet market to remain competitive and upgrade quickly and fully expect the horrible phone market to be as shitty as ever, if not worse. Google needs to push the Nexus phone harder and make its motorola offerings non-Blur.

More specifically, it takes place in Scotland.

Which has a very different legal system from England and Wales (or anywhere else, for that matter). Primary legislation from 1707 through 2000 was enacted in Parliament in London, but the judicial system itself is based on Roman law rather than Common Law or the Napoleonic Continental System.

Anything recent, which started in 21st century? Good mention of cyc though....

It's sort of interesting -- there's also no largest natural number, but we can talk about the size of their cardinality. You can't do that with all of the "infinities" since the collection of ordinals doesn't form an ordinal (Burali-Forti) and you can't form the set of all cardinals.

One point: this list/pledge is for average developers, not crypto experts...

> This abets a hugely widespread misunderstanding about the security of crypto. You could in fact invent your own block cipher core, and if you dropped it into Keyczar or cryptlib's high level library be more secure than people using AES-256 directly via OpenSSL.

You could of course. But the average developer cannot. It takes quite a bit of knowledge about cryptography to be able to do this and have it be more secure than AES... And even if you have that knowledge the chance that a mistake was made is high enough that you shouldn't use it anyway (the algorithm isn't vetted). So I stand behind my point...

> Encouraging people to encrypt data while giving them bad advice about how to accomplish that is a recipe for disaster.

What bad advice? The only thing I said was hash it if you just need to verify, or encrypt if you need to reverse it.

Additionally, would you rather have CC numbers stored in plain text? I'd rather have a botched encryption on them that's somewhat easy to break than have it in plain text...

> Specifically, you write: "Parameterized queries are a better way of solving the problem, because it doesn't require any escaping". This is wrong.

It's not wrong. Raw user input should never enter a query. Period. If you're going to paginate or sort or filter, you need to white-list filter on available fields and values. Escaping and adding it to the query is just a recipe for disaster... Obviously just using a parameterized query API isn't going to do it for you. But escaping, in any context, is an incorrect way of handling it...

> If you know very little about web security, the OWASP Top 10 is a fine starting point, but your readers should know that's all it is.

I'm not trying to suggest that they should only know the top 10, but that they should know it in its entirety...
Version numbers do little to prioritize engineering work. Take CSS 2.1, which still doesn't have 100% conformance by any browser: http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/report/... and the CSSWG is now working on many CSS Level 4 specs now...

The demands of application developers are much of what drives feature prioritization inside browser developers. Scores and benchmarks certainly contribute, but it'd temper that a bit.. see the recent Maxthon kerfuffle on how browser's have their feet held to the fire on their scores: http://www.favbrowser.com/maxthon-scams-its-score-in-html5te...
I really need to work in the Silicon Valley. Anyone wants to hire me?
Hi,

I'm based out of India but I really need to work in the U.S., preferably on the West Coast (Silicon Valley, Bay Area).

I'm willing to work with any startup which can sponsor my visa and living costs, plus a nominal allowance. I'm not asking for a huge salary package and I'm willing to work without any equity (though I'd prefer to have both).

I could do this for a year, and after that, I would prefer to work for whatever the going rate is in the Valley for my skill set.

I ran a web development and computer hardware business until 2010 and I'm really good with technology. I have a Bachelors degree in Computer Science and I'm studying for the Chartered Financial Analyst program.

I'm working as a financial analyst covering the US TMT sector for about a year, and have worked for one of the largest American banks in India, on the technology team backing the Investment Banking division.

I'm fairly good with numbers and would ideally like a job at a VC firm or an incubator, so I can work with as many startups as I can, working on multiple ideas. I could also work as a Business Analyst at any startup who needs someone with great analytical skills. I'm a CFA L1 right now, and I have broad knowledge about the internet, technology, e-commerce, capital markets, private equity, venture capital and startups.

I have some experience with Python, PHP and JS, but I haven't coded in years. I'd prefer to work in a technology oriented role, which also requires knowledge of business development, marketing, product strategy etc. I'm basically a hustler who cannot code anymore.

I've had the chance to do an MBA from some top B-schools in India, but I don't think it's worth it.

If there's any way this could work out for any of you currently hiring someone for this kind of role, please email me at:

IndiaThrowaway@gmail.com

I'd be very grateful.

Note: I don't want to pursue my Masters from the U.S. just yet, because I don't think that the time or money investment is worth it.

I'm sure at least some of you would find my skills beneficial.

I would love to intern/work full time at Y Combinator or Techstars, but I don't think they accept Indian candidates due to the visa hassles.

Also, huge fan of Paul Graham, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.

He he, well then I would say he is spot on :-) Sperry about the harsh remark Sweden.
The offline equivalent is just how people achieved something similar beforehand. It's ok for it to be worse. I think the USB key is just right for Dropbox's offline equivalent.
If it's based on the Roman Law, then precedent is pretty much irrelevant right? So we just have a judge without any common sense here, and most likely this won't be repeated in other such cases.
Careful — "fraction" often means "rational number", and the rationals are countably infinite.
No.

In America at least, copyright was part of the Constitution before freedom of speech was. You may say that it is now outmoded, or that the current implementation is a horrifying mutation of the original intent, but it's hard to argue that copyright is some late comer whose purpose is to trample our long-cherished freedom of speech.
I think the point is that when starting out with a new text editor you aren't moving fast enough to use these shortcuts that often, so it's harder to internalize them. With this you just get rapid repetition, so that when it comes time to use them you have the command at the ready in your head. Of course I'm speaking from the point of view of someone just starting out using an editor. For someone that has already used any of these editors for any length of time this sit does seem kind of worthless.

I'm not saying it's not interesting—in fact, I think it's fascinating—but all of this is implicit in Cantor's Theorem. "Harder question" to me implies there's something there that goes beyond the fundamental result that the powerset of a set X has strictly larger cardinality than X. One might think that it's just harder to understand, but I would dispute that too: if someone thinks they get Cantor's Theorem but has trouble grasping that there is no set of all sets, or largest cardinal number, it just shows that they don't really understand the theorem itself yet.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any remote Grails/Java jobs, but I do know of several openings across the US. What location are you looking for specifically?

>Until now.

Now was 6+ months ago. You could get a nice fast Tegra3 tablet for a while now at a competitive price. The Nexus is really just an Asus TF201/TF300 shrunk down to 7 inches and with a hefty reduction in price.

>The trouble was that if you had the balls to tell this fact you were irrevocably dismissed as an Apple fanatic.

Or unaware of the last 2 Asus Transformer models (three now as the new one just launched) or even the budget Acer tegra3 tablet. Galaxy tablet isn't bad either, just slow to updates.

I've owned both the TF101 and the TF300 and really feel no need or want for an ipad. The Fire/Nook aren't tablets, they're appliances. If someone wants an android tablet, there are at least 2 or 3 very nice models for sale and 4 or 5 mainstream lower tier cheaper ones.

The Nexus is just a big price cut. Its the same hardware we've been using for some time. That's partly why its so cheap. The Tegra3 chipset is ancient by SoC
standards (November 9, 2011.).

Agreed. Same problem here. Perhaps a visual display of what needs to be done would be a lot more useful. I have no clue of how this could be done though. At the same time if you want to build muscle memory, just use the damn editor and you get it eventually :)
There's no largest integer, but the integers still form a set with an (infinite) cardinality, namely aleph-zero.

Likewise, there's no largest cardinal, but you'd think that the cardinals also formed a set with an (infinite) cardinality of its own.

Fun fact: they don't. There are too many of them.
It's nice, but I'm not sure that's how my mind works when I'm working in VIM. I wonder how I'd react if I was put in an actual document and then prompted somehow to do the same exercises.
Great looking themes. Categories would be nice. For example, I would love to browse through the Admin/Dashboard themes without having to look at all of the other themes in the gallery.
Yeah, it's really annoying that those foreigners don't clearly state that something doesn't take place in the US.

Unfortunately (as you probably know yourself) I don't have a magical answer that would speed everything up. As for V8 there is quite a number of limits that you might be hitting with generated code (e.g. number of locals, size of the function etc) and there can be some bugs or non-done-yet thingies affecting performance. Profiling and looking at the generated code (and filing bugs) is the only suggesting I can give here.

Burgeoning Auto Market in India and Russia
What does it mean to go out of business? Don't most newspapers make a loss? [1] (Excluding The Sun, obviously.) I don't think the motivation for funding them is profit, but influence, and so they'll continue to be produced for quite a while.

Regarding Google, didn't Murdoch complain about just that? [2]

[1] Well, at least The Times and The Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jul/20/times-paywall-re... mentions a daily loss of £240,000 for The Times, and http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jun/10/guardian-media-g... suggests similar (if not as great) losses by The Guardian. http://moreintelligentlife.com/content/ideas/tim-de-lisle/ca... suggests a calculation of £100,000 a day. However, The Telegraph appears to make a profit, as suggested here because of merging their digital and print media: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/mar/18/telegraph-group-... — though I get the feeling that it would still be funded somewhat past the point of profitability too…
