Wisdom comes from experience. Experience requires you both to have done things in your life and to have had the time to reflect on those events. That comes with age.

... and with having those experiences, and with having the ability to reflect and learn from them.

I agree with William. I know some folk in their twenties who have done more (and reflected on what they've done and learned from it) that some folk I know that are my age (40s).

Wisdom comes from having experiences and the ability to learn from them. While that's roughly correlated with age there are:

* plenty of older folk who don't have many experiences, or don't have a good ability to learn from them

* plenty of younger folk who push themselves - or get pushed - to have a bunch of experience and learn those lessons very well.

I know people in their 20s who are wiser than people I know in their 60s. And vice versa. Personally I vastly prefer to look at people first rather than make assumptions based on age.
Citations needed. Of course there will be some people who will always ruminate about how things could be even better, but that doesn't undo what AMD accomplished. The feature matrix for open source Radeon drivers is a bit of a patchwork, but far better than it was before they open sourced the documentation.

"I don't see how any rational person could see any difference between dying in an accident and being murdered in a random, untargeted act."

So you, as a rational person, don't seen any difference between someone bumping into you accidentally and apologizing, and someone deliberately shoving you? Really?

Rational people forgive accidents and punish intentional or negligent harm. The RATIONAL basis for this is that the punished offender is less likely to repeat the offense in the future.

I'm not sure why this is a difficult concept.
So time to move to Linux! :)
The one month free only applies to hosting. I only use godaddy for dns and recieved the letter without the line about getting credit.

(as a side note, I want to switch away from godaddy but I haven't found a good registrar in europe to transfer to yet, and I only use the domain for remote access to my personal net at the moment so it hasn't really been a high priority. Still, does anyone have any tips?)
We have solved it, governments just don't enforce it because storing used uranium is cheaper than recycling it.
I'm looking to switch away from godaddy. Do you know a good registrar in europe that takes privacy issues seriously and isn't too expensive?
Someone wrote blogspam about how fences made out of old pallets are a bit of flash in the pan? Pin.
At an extraordinarily high cost to the taxpayer. Well above what any rational body would have/should have paid for getting to this level.
To answer my own question, there is a free addon called pgbackups that will do this for you, and Heroku automatically load balances between dynos.
Yes, an order of magnitude if you only count rooftop solar. NOT if you count wind. Maybe for efficiency, people replacing lightbulbs and motors are at risk of death.

Yet for both wind and solar, this reflects all known risk, while for nuclear we still have to deal with catastrophic risks as well as storage of spent fuel.

As to the only alternative to nuclear being fossil fuels, someone should tell it to countries investing in solar power (especially concentrated) or wind. Germany and China come to mind.
This is almost exactly how I deployed NameTerrific (https://www.nameterrific.com). It automatically gets ready for any horizontal scaling in the future.

In addition, I allocate the workers to their own instances so that they can grow independently. Also I use Capistrano to automate deployment. Whenever additional resources are needed, simply clone the instance and add it to the load balancer.

I use 2 Nginx workers and 8 Unicorn workers in a single app instance, and they serve in HTTP at 80 and 443 (yes they respond in HTTP via port 443 and the app should assume it's HTTPS). The app instances are firewalled in a private network and they use private IP addresses.

The load balancer has two networking interfaces, one public-facing and one private-facing. It's basically a reverse proxy serving traffic in both HTTP and HTTPS (which will be forwarded to HTTP:443). So the load balancer handles the encryption entirely.

The assets get compiled during deployment, and everything gets cached. I bundle all the CSS and JS into a single package, so that there's nothing to load other than the HTML and images (natively async) in subsequent visits. The website is simply way more responsive when deployed this way. I also use CloudFront to host the assets by simply pointing the cloud distribution to the website itself as the origin. Rails will handle the assets host automatically as well.

Whenever I need to deploy or manage the database directly for any reason, I will need to connect to the private network via VPN. It's secure and just neat.

If I need to build a local mirror, I'll install another nginx box, connect to the VPN, and reverse proxy HTTPS requests to the HTTP:443 directly. This reduces the HTTPS handshaking latency while still maintaining the security. And it just works.

Very nice creativity.
So someone proves an argument unsound, and you just say they're crazy? Nice.
This is by design[1]. The first 3 bytes are the same for the same manufacturer. The last 3 bytes can be assigned as they wish. Apple probably assign the 4th byte as a product identifier, so would be consistent across iPhones. I wonder what the 4th byte is for other iOS devices, or if it's the same?

Whatever. Nuclear power is awesome when properly designed and implemented. They might as well use a combination of geothermal and hydrokinetic power from their volcano and beaches, and really cause harm to their Island.

Where else are they going to get portable, eco-friendly, and cheap (long run) power?

Show HN: "Ask and Yeah" a Twitter-alike service for Q&A with pinterest layout
I want to show you my new web app “Ask and Yeah”.

http://askandyeah.com

it’s like a twitter-service for questions and answers with a pinterest layout :D. People can ask wh-questions (what, where, when, why ….) using max 140 characters. Others can answer questions using max 50 characters.
You can use hashtags to categorize questions (@ for person, # for thing, ! for place). For example:
what did @JFK say in his famous #speech in !Berlin in 1963?

My main goal creating this app (beside learning new programming skills) is helping people quickly find questions about a specific topics when they need some. For example: teachers looking for question for their students, families looking for quizzes for a quiz-night, or people looking for fun.

Feedbacks are appreciated. Also if you have new ideas for “Ask and Yeah”, please let me know. It’s mainly my side-project, but i desire to develope it further.

Thank you

Which is fine, because those who get the cheap power breathe it, i.e. the risk/reward system is mostly local. As I have written several times before, nuclear power is a black swan type of risk with non-local risk realization, whereas coal has a more typical distribution of risk realization, and the effects are more local. This makes it hard to compare them by comparing average risk. As somebody from a country which decided against Nuclear by referendum just years before getting a lot of fallout from Chernobyl, I am also very sensitive to the fact that I have hardly any political influence on nuclear power plants that can affect me.
For 1 and 2: AFAIK Heroku already has three layers, the Nginx routing mesh, Varnish cache and your dynos. Everything is already handled for you so if you have two dynos, the traffic will rotate between the two. You don't need a load balancer for Heroku. It's built-in.
Could you say more about using both the Cache-Control and a query string of epoch time? In particular the query string has me puzzled. On it's face it seems to decrease your cache hit ratio, with no/little benefit.
Im assuming the epoch time is the clients local time. The clock skew across the client population increases the number of cache keys active at any one time.
The incrementing query string also forces a new cache key once per second. Those would force a cache miss and complete request to S3 even when content has not changed. It's even worse with the skew as you now force a cache miss per second for each unique epoch time in your client clocks.
Without the query string the cache could do a conditional GET for live.json. That would save latency & bytes as the origin could respond with a 304 instead of the complete 200.
When the young say,"there are some young people who are wise beyond their years",you should translate it as "I am one of those young people who is wise beyond my years."No wise person ever says that.

What happens when "old" folk like me and @wpetrie say it? :-)

I am wiser than I was in my 20s, but I know people in their 20s who have become wiser faster than I did. They had more stuff happen to them (through hard work, or good luck, or bad luck) - and learned from it well.

Commercially built: mostly true

Commercially operated: much less so (with exceptions, e.g. shuttle processing was kind-of commercial)

Commercially designed: nope.

The commercial resupply contracts may not quite meet everyone's idea of what "commercial" means (and there certainly was/is a lot of NASA scrutiny of the spacecraft -- rather less of the launch vehicle), but it's still a substantially different model from anything NASA has tried on a major project in the last half century.
I think we'd need a more careful definition of "handle" there!

And we're definitely not proselytizing garbage collection here. The MPS is a framework for both manual and automatic memory management (and co-operation between the two). One of our main high performance commercial applications is all about the manual management, and for very good reasons.

But nobody should be rejecting GC out of hand, that's for sure.
I had somebody email me about the same event, I am definitely going to follow up on it - thanks for the info.

I am also going to write a post about it this weekend and forward it to the journalists who have covered Uniloc in the Australian media, to try and get the other side of the story out.
Wat Programming Language - fexpr, first-class everything for javascript
Perhaps, but assuming you use the pasteboard feature, this appears to have the same weaknesses as Keychain, and then some. Two come immediately to mind:

I. OS X Screen Sharing, Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection, and many other remote access clients enable pasteboard sharing with remote hosts by default.

II. Less importantly, any well-known executable taking account identifying information on the command line and storing the account's password in the pasteboard gives local root users an easy way to obtain passwords upon use, with only public, documented APIs:

1. Set dtrace probes on syscall::exec*:entry to fire whenever pass runs.

2. For each such run, save the arguments to pass (obtained in dtrace with copyinstr) and the pasteboard's contents[1], then poll the pasteboard for the next few seconds, and if it changes, save the new contents as well. Depending on the timing, I assume one or the other will be the password for the account described by the arguments to pass.

Finally, I'm not sure what the problem with Keychain here is supposed to be in the first place: after clicking "deny" about 1,000 times, the only passwords the suggested command

security dump-keychain -d ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

revealed on my systems were the blank ones, and my login keychain is not "locked". So I guess this means blank AFP and SMB passwords shouldn't be relied upon to provide meaningful security?

[1] To access the pasteboard server, your "snooping agent" must run in the target user session's Mach bootstrap namespace. Running as root, this is easy:

launchctl bsexec PID /path/to/snooping-agent [snooping-agent-args]

should do the trick, where PID is the UNIX process ID of the appropriate loginwindow process (under normal circumstances this will be the only loginwindow with the target's EUID).
Who cares why he made it? The internet is full of videos and posts mocking Jesus, Buddha and virtually every sect or religion or lack of religion out there. Also people mock fat people, skinny people, black, white, green and everyone in between. Do they have to blow something up to get attention from Google?

I understand that just because you can do it, you shouldn't do it, but Google is different, they did not make the film and their platform should be open to all but illegal stuff (child pppron for example).

I am upset that certain people call me an infidel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafir . Google should remove those videos that cal everyone else an unbeliever or else ;).

A high quality source of vitamin D is liver. Cod liver oil is a great way to supplement your diet. In Iceland you can get it in small sardine type cans and spread the liver on crackers.
EU does that. It's necessary.
Yes, 25% of electricity produced in Germany comes from renewables. But Germany imports 2/3rds of its energy, so less than 10% of domestic consumption is from renewables.

Here's a tangentially-related fact: France is the world's largest energy exporter. 75% of their production comes from nuclear. Germany is still dependent on nuclear power, they just passed the buck.
That's very unlikely: an address space of just 65K numbers would be left, which is orders of magnitude less than the number of iPhones produced.

Considering that each phone has at least two MACs (wifi and bluetooth), even the 16 millions that would be given by using the full 3 bytes look scarce.

I think that Apple has several OUIs. In fact, my iPhone's MAC doesn't have a single byte in common with the parent's.
Smooth Sailing of a Vim Renegade
Update strategy of master first is interesting. I've always seen the other way with update standby, flip to standby, verify, update original master.
Auto inc db keys once again cause horribleness. Nothing new there I suppose.
And as mentioned the multi dyno + DB read status page is craaaazy. Why oh why isnt this a couple static objects. Automagically generate and push if you want. Give 'em a 60 second TTL and call it a day. Put them behind a different CDN & DNS then the rest of your site for bonus points.
This article sounds nice, but I'm not exactly convinced. Here comes some anecdata... TL/DR I think economic considerations like education, healthcare and income have more to do with uptake of militant Islamism than movies.

You live in a village in Pakistan, working fields for more or less a feudal landlord. Work is hard, long and for relatively little pay. You can't read or write, so have little prospects for a career change apart from other forms of manual labour. You have to support your own family, along with any elderly or sick relatives. In most cases you probably blow some of your wage on drink/gambling.

Once in a while a group comes through your village. They offer free food (a bit like a soup kitchen), spiritual guidance, and in some cases community health services. If you sign up for membership they promise to put your sons through school and pay for healthcare of any ageing/poorly relatives. If you're in a lot of debt or in any other sort of trouble, they promise to handle these things for you if you commit to them. They call themselves the Pakistani Taliban.
Yes I know, but given that of the three bytes reserved for Apple, a specific device type like 4s, 4, 5, or alike, happens to have a subset of the fourth bytes combination, the space is reduced to a bit more than 16 bit, making the brute force attack absolutely feasible.

p.s. I've verified that other 4s have a different (but numerical very "near") fourth byte. It seems in the range 20-24 or alike.

Don't use -c then. Inherent weakness of clipboard.

While I wouldn't personally consider it a "real" security problem, any well-known executable taking account identifying information on the command line and storing the account's password in the pasteboard gives local root users an easy way to obtain passwords upon use, with only public, documented APIs:

This is ridiculous. Of course, if someone has root access they can do whatever they want.

Your technical comments are a bit overblown. If you're root, just replace the executable with a program that pilfers off the passwords. Easy as pie. But sure, you can also dtrace, or load a kernel module, or ... anything?

Not to mention, if you're root, you can just listen to keystrokes, or monitor browser logins, or sniff input fields, or take memory dumps of the whole system, or ... um... anything?

FUD.

How to Make Solar Energy Better: Use Spinach
We're just arguing different things.

You're saying value investing for startups is a suboptimal strategy. (I understand your point and read swan farming and found it highly interesting.)

I'm saying that may be true but that doesn't stop investors from trying.

Khosla is one of these people. He appears to have just stated he was.

Now maybe there are ulterior motives at play, and Khosla is lying about his aversion to superhyped startups.

Basically I'm saying investors have a distribution of frugality coefficients, and was asking: what does it look like if you plot "frugality" versus "investor quality". I would guess there might be a small relationship. Even if frugality is strongly negatively associated with quality, it is still true that high valuations will turn-off some quality investors. However, the important question is not whether you turn off some good investors, but, how many good investors do you attract, period. Thus hype may still be good.
You're right, I didn't do the maths. This list[1] from 2010 shows that Apple has dozens of OUIs and I imagine the list is much, much longer now.

"As traffic to the status site began to ramp up, we increased the number of dynos running from 8 to 64 and finally 90."

Wait, why isn't there some caching layer? eg. Generate a static page or use Varnish.

This part makes no sense at all.

At most you're then firing up another 5 dynos (or none) to handle the traffic. 90 is ridiculous.

I don't know what to think. It's great what he achieved, and I respect that. However, I think he might wake up one day and start asking himself, what did I do? Was my youth fun? Did I go out with people and do what kids usually do or did I just try to accomplish things and get my career somewhere?

When I hear someone being "only 17", or "only 20", or whatever, and wanting to be an entrepreneur, I don't rule them out because they are too young and have too few experience. I worry that they might miss out on living their life.
This is the story we'd like to believe but it's not true. The 9/11 hijackers were educated as engineers, living well in Europe not in destitute poverty. The solution isn't more money and more education, the 9/11 hijackers had that in spades.
Those articles appear to be rather out of date.

More recently (within the last month or so), there's been a lot of IT media interest in whether IE10 will be available on Windows 7, but recent platform previews seem to have supported Windows 8 only and Microsoft have been conspicuously quiet on the matter. Just google "IE10 Windows 7".

This isn't to say that IE10 won't support Windows 7 in the end, but right now the picture isn't looking good.

The problem is that Google and Samsung can afford to defend lawsuits. Laminar Research, not so much, so they're more likely to settle.
Totally agree with you. I have a project that I have been putting together for a while now goes down this road. It doesn't start this way of course but it's taking this course!

I believe with passion that banking should take an approach where people who're using the bank own it. The only problem is what do you back the money by? Gold? What happens if we had a major food crisis, would someone want to trade their food for your gold? So do you store it in food, same problem. It's such a complex problem and it needs to be reinvented at the roots.

If you have ideas on this, lets talk.
So we'll copy directly HDD to HDD?
Lossing Fat Very Fast
I think Wi-Fi will speed up faster than both SATA and disk drives, and SATA already is faster than portable hard disks.

For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ad aims at 7Gb/s. http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2012-mobile-hdd-charts/-0... gives max read speed for mobile disks at less than 1.5Gb/s.

Form that viewpoint, I can see a laptop disk drive that only needs a power connection. Battery-operated, you could even keep it in your bag while using it,

Big questions, however, are a) whether people will still want external drives for thei laptops. SSDs and the cloud may supplant them, b) whether the bandwidth is reliable enough (what if I sit next to someone who also has a Wi-Fi external drive?) and c) whether it is a wise idea to make it so easy to detach your disk. Software will have to be prepared to handle the case "user picks up laptop and walks out of range of external disk"

Especially for reasons a and b, I do not see this happen.
The above Factors are mostly regarding Vitamin D production or exposure onto your retinas. Nobody is claiming you need to replace it entirely. The right strategy depends on the context and esp. at which ends of the normal distribution curve you are (regarding sun exposure).

It's very seductive to argue from an evolutionary advantage perspective. It can be used to generate Hypotheses that need testing.
But one shouldn't give health advice based on it. After all we brush teeth, wear clothes and benefit massively from machines and modern medicine.
