Some do, some don't. Most of the racers I know (people who actually train to race and take competition at least a little seriously) would know what this data is telling them or would know someone who could help them (a trainer or coach).

"Much like Microsoft's "Patch Tuesday," Java's slow-but-steady patch schedule is designed to give enterprise customers time to properly test the fixes before deploying them."

Microsoft does not wait for Patch Tuesday when there is a zero day exploit. Or at least not always, as the article implies.
I am hoping Qt will regain its status of a cross-platform toolkit of choice. Back in time it provided the solution for fragmented Desktop development. With Digia's involvement now it can solve the same problem but in mobile space. But even if this does not happen, there is still the whole field of desktop development which is not going away any time soon. Web is simply not capable enough to create truly big and complex applications.
Quick bug report: X and Y are about 20% too high in mobile safari. Also crashes mobile safari frequently.

I've looked at SQL Alchemy and think it's pretty radical actually. I think that this evening/weekend I am actually going to begin doing this in flask+sqlalchemy. It was a strong contender from the beginning.

Here is my first flask app ever, https://github.com/whalesalad/arbesko-files

No authentication or session management or anything above basic request/response, but it was fun and serves it's purpose inside of Arbesko well.

Operation of TRIP
A TRIP Speaker(LS) establishes intra-domain and inter-domain “peering sessions” with
other TRIP Speakers to exchange routing information. The peering sessions are established
to exchange routes to telephony destinations. The peers update each other of new
routes learned by them. Each peer may in-turn learn about new routes from other peers
or through gateways registering telephony prefixes to them or through a static configuration
on the Location Servers. The peers also “withdraw” the routes they advertised to
the other peer on learning about the unavailability of the routes.TRIP peering sessions

I've always been trying to find a program that will parse the strace output and create a call graph showing which programs call which programs and how long they run for.

Has anyone seen anything like that? I think I've searched pretty extensively.
"Education" may be just institutional. Personally, I don't have "education time" anymore, it's either during work, leisure or commuting, but I still learn daily.
They are working on it - the feature exists, but isn't currently exposed through the GUI configuration as it has some issues.

You can go to "about:config" and enable the option "plugins.click_to_play" if you want to see it. I disabled it as it caused issues with Flash for me, but I've straight up disabled the Java plugin anyway.
Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find those WMDs any day now.

Interesting idea. How is Training load calculated? Some sort of algorithm that takes into account upcoming race schedule, age, category, past riding schedule?

And 'Pedal force vs. cadence', does this reveal where weak spots are in your stroke? Also does it show you your optimal cadence, based on speed and duration of ride. I think that would be great information to have.

Also, with strava I'd love to see when different sections are starting and ending so I know exactly when to gas it and stop, perhaps even how I'm progressing as I'm riding. This is pretty unrelated though to this app.

Very cute - any plans of open-sourcing?
I can understand Apple wanting to keep its market place "clean", but at the very least, iDevice owners should be able to opt-in to seeing apps like this. Why can't it just be flagged "adult" or something, and you can then opt-in on your device to seeing apps flagged as such?

Why does Apple think it is suitable to make these decisions on your behalf, iDevice users? Are you happy with this?

Personally, I'll be sticking with my HTC device running Cyanogenmod.

Not debating the rest of your post, but not all Norwegian banks rely solely on BankID. Just clarifying that there is no national mandated standard here, just a system which banks can opt in on to use. And then they don't have to opt in fully or exclusively.

One example of one who manages to get authentication right, through HTML alone is Skandiabanken. No Java, nonsense or security pains required. They allow you to use BankID too if you like to, but you don't have to.

I prefer not to.

That is an obnoxiously long animation to get to the most relevant data (the current data).
Absolutely agree. Going hard all spring and summer is easy, but peaking for certain events (possibly multiple events) makes the scheduling of a training plan much more difficult.
Why don't you just switch to another Bank?
On my iPhone I either use silent mode without vibration (when I want events to still reach my phone but not me unless I look at it) or airplane mode (when I want to completely go off the mesh).

VoltDB Engineer here. It seems like the authors made some unfortunate choices in the configuration and usage of VoltDB.

A limited number of synchronous loads are always going to present scalability problems and will do a poor job measureing the throughput achievable. Even if it takes 500usecs to round-trip a transaction from the client, that means each synchronous client can only do 2000 per second. To scale linearly to 12 nodes might require hundreds of these synchronous clients.

VoltDB is commonly used with many parallel synchronous clients, such as web front-ends, or asynchronous workloads, such as event feeds. Both of these workload scale very well, so long as there is enough parallelism.

They also used global, consistent, multi-partition transactions for the YCSB scan. I'm not sure if that is necessary, and it would also limit scalability.

I can't speak too directly to the work because the code and configuration doesn't seem to be public. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

It would have been nice if they had reached out to us at VoltDB to verify their configuration and client. They also could have contacted Andy Pavlo at the H-Store who has some experience with YCSB on H-Store.

Still, we can always learn from something like this. One thing we're working on in VoltDB is better performance for workloads that aren't designed to be parallel. This means more performance for synchronous clients and for clients that do global consistent reads. Another area we could improve is more prominent diagnostics to show you why your cluster isn't running faster. That information is all available in our system tables and management tools, but we could probably boil it down to a single status field telling you whether your cluster is starved on client requests, intercluster-transaction-agreement or slow procedures. In our experience, it's usually the first one. I'll go file a ticket now.

News is, by definition, about current events. Case studies are about past events. So, in general, they can't be the same thing (even if, of course, the publication of an interesting case study can be interesting - and current - news).

"Why can't there be news stories about how awesome the customer experience at X has gotten?": If you really want to know, I advise you to read "Storytelling: Branding in practice".
Thank you, Apple, for protecting me from a news aggregation/notification and mapping app like this one. I'll stick to my fart sound boards and purchasing currency for manipulative "games" with zero actual entertainment value any day!
The irony is that this news aggregator is being denied, yet someone could make a game called "Drone Wars" where you operate a drone on missions and Apple would have no problem with it.
Awesome site! I don't anything constructive to say except that this is exactly the kind of site I have been dreaming of. Unfortunately I lost my power meter on a ride about a year ago and haven't replaced it yet. If I do I will be sure to make good use of your site. I'm especially impressed with the graphs. I saw you mentioned you wrote the code yourself. Any plans to open source it?

I thought this was great. Learning from the users as much as possible in order for the interface to get out of the users way is a solid idea that can be incorporated into nearly everything... you just have to not implement it in a Clippy "Did you mean..." kind of way.

Switzerland holds the European record for rate of gun suicide, and record of guns per capita. Suicide is the leading cause of death for people younger than 35.

There's clearly a problem with the Swiss legal obligation of having a gun at home. (Mandatory for every conscript soldier, i.e. almost every swiss man, including me.)

I do believe that if I was not obligated to have a gun at home, I would not willfully buy one and thus would not have access to one.
I wish I could say the same, but every time some site surprises me with its design, I go to inspect it and it has those background patterns, box shadow and sprites pngs sprinkled all over.
I don't see any bully at all. In fact your title and the way you're describing is bullying. That article showed quite some evidences, where are yours?
Plus, you called TechCrunch a bully outright, which is hard to do for any sensible human being, unless he/she is also a photoshop expert and got offended by this article.

I just pasted some text from a random TechCrunch article relating to Spotify and got this:

Your text: 847 characters, 145 words
Bullshit Index :0.56
Something's fishy. Obviously you want to sell something, or you're trying to impress somebody. Are you sure that you have a real message, and if so: who would understand it?
I'll withstand my statement: model based on a corpus of PR, scholar, licenses and the like texts.
If they are into real statistical NLP.

Or just esthetic rules + word dictionary.
exactly my word.
I can see your point but you're not looking at the problem realistically;
dumb attack tools get smarter over time. Let's say a dumb attack tool
tries to access the root account over ssh on port 22. If enough people
disable root ssh access or stop running ssh on port 22, then you should
expect the attack tools to evolve (and yes, they have) to trying other
accounts and other ports. The end result is your logs still get filled
with crap. If your goal is to prevent your logs from being filled with
crap, then changing ports won't solve the problem.

Personally, I don't know of a working solution to prevent ssh brute
force attacks from filling up our logs with crap, but something like
spamd(8) for sshd might make the attackers give up (or at least learn
to leave the people running it alone).

http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd&sekti...

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd-setup&...

The goal of spamd(8) is making it painful, slow, and expensive for
spammers while keeping mail services running. It seems Colin is headed
in a vaguely similar direction with spipe/spiped albeit without the
intentionally sadistic tar-pitting and stuttering of spamd(8).
He is only parsing the headers in the final Haskell version, and skipping the body. In the C++ version, he also seems to check the MD5 and/or SHA1 hash (if a hash of the body available and OpenSSL with SHA1/MD5 support is available).

So, it's not exactly clear to me if the C++ and the Haskell version are still doing the same thing. Also, in the C++ version he is parsing stuff by hand, it will probably a lot faster when using a proper lexer (you usually can't beat an optimized finite state machine ;)) and parser.

Unfortunately, the emphasis on performance distracts from the main point: parsers written with attoparsec or parsec are usually understandable, type-safe, and pretty, while offering performance near to that of a C/C++ version.

In other words, if you have enough time, you can probably come up with a C or C++ parser that is as fast or faster than a Haskell-based parser (assuming some overhead of boxing/unboxing, garbage collection, more difficult optimization, ...), but would you care if the Haskell implementation had 80% of the performance and was far more maintainable?
I find the animation quite good, it adds to the dramatic affect and builds anticipation on the final result. That is if hntrends is used for contests.
I think iOS is better than Android. I support the idea of a walled garden in principle (as long as it isn't a monopoly, and in this case it isn't. People can choose Android or others).

But the free flow of honest information is fundamental to democracy. This is stupid and gutless editorial censorship on Apple's part (unless there's some detail about this story that I'm missing). I hope someone higher up sees this, reverses the decision, and clarifies their internal standards on this.

Fucking lame Apple! Shape the fuck up!

@Rudism: ditto.
You wrote a lot of bullshit but your text looks pretty normal from a vocabulary standard. looking a bit more to the website you'll see that what it calls bullshit english is that pattern often used in scientific articles or law texts (and president speeches) where they seem to be saying a lot of really wow stuff but all you're really left in the end as a big "?" cause you couldn't get half of what the person said.
As an Emacs user this doesn't really scare me, but I do know and always defend that Emacs and Vim are the best and only two decent editors out there.
"english text up to 15.000 characters (overhead will be cut off)", did I read it as 15 characters ? Bullshit
Unlike any of the other apps we featured with side navigation, Google Plus slides the entire previous page out of view when the user goes to the side menu. Will this be the next trend for side navigation?

Isn't this how iOS navigation has worked since its inception?!

Apparently you're not the only one to try TechCrunch first - I did exactly the same thing after clicking the link.

It appears our internal bullshit meters work just fine as well :)
Maybe. I know if I was sitting in a room where the manager did this I'd be embarrassed.

As another poster pointed out, an interviewee can usually profit from sticking out the interview, maybe learn something (even if it's learning what people don't know). At the least it's practice at suffering fools.

Same from the other side of the table. Most people don't know how to interview candidates; you all know this, because you've all sat through clueless interviews. But those people (you, if you've ever interviewed a candidate) are usually competent and nice people, they just don't have that particular skill or experience.

So follow through, do the whole interview, because you need the practice. You've brought an expensive learning resource into the office, so learn from him.

Finally, there's nothing wrong with being gracious and leaving the candidate with a positive view of your company and of you. Maybe he'll treat the experience like "dang, I've got some stuff to learn," rather than "those dudes are poopy heads." In any case it's as good for you to be gracious as it is for the candidate.
Or just use BankID for mobile or the BankID app for iOS, no need for applets.

You support a walled garden, but not if it blocks information?

I'm sorry, but that's completely contradictory. The point of the wall is that it blocks things Apple don't approve of.
Quoting the article:

"Sometimes it was mostly just embarrassing, in other cases reputations or deals had been affected by the deception."

However, they don't show what deals and reputations had been affected.

SAD but True Factis that the Government is the Biggest Mafia in India.Bureaucracy Feeds and Chain of Bribery
The whole idea of both Government and the Bureaucracy is
to prove that any common man has to be common without basic
privileges of questioning any action of the government and bureaucracy.Fairness has vanished from system, and has replaced by MONEY TALKS XXXX XXIT WALKS, not only walks but flies.Accountability to commonman is unheard off.
Here the underlying priciple of both the Government and bureaucracy is to make laws to cripple common man and extort money.EARLIER IT WAS ONLY THE CORRUPTION,BUT NOW,VERY VERY SAD THAT INHUMANITY is in the Blood stream of Indians. Government Talks about subsidies as way of helping common man, but ultimately it has created a subsidy mafia, in every sphere.

Retailer's will surely recognize that their value add is in the personal, friendly, and helpful atmosphere they can create with their staff. Square seems to have pretty much hit the nail on the head with 'Auto Tab' - eliminating the awkward, unglamorous part of the process (the obvious exchange of money) means that the coffee shop barista can instead focus on greeting the customer by name, offering the usual or taking a different order without reminding them of the money their spending or directly fiddling aroudn with cash or phones.

Sounds like a pretty ideal shopping experience to me. The only real benefit I see NFC having is that it can eliminate the wallet from my pocket.
Well, nobody said I don't eat foods I love on occasion and in moderation. For me, that moderation component is only achievable when I'm following a disciplined program the rest of the time. As to the notion of being impoverished by not having all the delicious foods in the world, that strikes me as a very aloof and distant connection with how the rest of the world lives.

I recently went to a county fair. While I tried to be mindful of what I was eating, I didn't deprive myself of the treats a fair has to offer. This is not about self-flagellation but about better self-awareness and in the end, hopefully about better health.

It would be neat if someone integrated algorithms like this into discussion forum software.
You can support an approach and also believe someone is doing it stupidly, or even unethically, all without being contradictory.

For example, do you support the right of a newspaper editor to pick and choose which letters to the editor get published? How about a restaurant's reserved "right to refuse service to anyone"? If you do, you still reserve the right in each of these cases to object to individual decisions, and to refuse patronage if an individual decision or a pattern of decisions offends you. All without contradicting yourself.
