That's not what foreign elements are. If you click the link to "foreign elements" in your first link, you'll see that the spec[1] defines foreign elements as "Elements from the MathML namespace and the SVG namespace." In other words, elements which are foreign to HTML.

The <div> element is a "normal element", and the spec doesn't seem to indicate what to do with the slash/solidus on normal elements, only on void or foreign ones.

I got my information for my previous comment from an answer on StackOverflow[2], but the w3c's validator seems to back it up. The OP has been changed to use the explicit close tag on that element, so you'll have to edit the source to use the (non-)self-closing version to check it yourself, but it kicked up errors for me.

Specifically, the error given read "Self-closing syntax (/>) used on a non-void HTML element. Ignoring the slash and treating as a start tag." This is what I said in my previous comment, albeit much more succinctly.

As for your second comment, regarding the space before the slash, I don't understand its relevance to my comment. I said nothing about the space in the element; I only referred to the effect of the slash. Also, you're talking about XHTML, and linking to its spec, in a discussion regarding HTML5. If I'm missing your point, please clarify.

you might have to enable file downloads in your security settings in IE... have you tried using non-IE browsers? if it works for you with another browser, then the issue must be a security setting in IE (which is something I've had to manually enable when I was testing this out)
Sweet, glad to see you're still going through with it! I think other than that crazy WebGL game, you guys got the most props from James Gosling.
Shut up. Just shut the fuck up, moron. It is a huge problem and blind idiots like you make it worse. Fuck you. You are just blind to horrible things, I hope my language has offended you, you little small minded fool.
Yes, in that you can have ejabberd call out to an arbitrary script for authentication.
When a clever person is so completely misinformed about a subject that's the very core of their business, I would rather call it FUD.

And I'd also like to point out they aren't in the business of creating value, as an open source product offers more value than a black box: their want to create costs.
I think anyone willing to pay someone ~$300 a week will not simply snap at the person and fire them because they want to browse reddit. They understand the value.
Indeed, "creative" in this context refers to special attention paid to creating new concepts. A "creative programmer" is somebody who's occupation is to come up with new ideas in code. This contrasts with "non-creative" programmers, who typically apply sound techniques to known problems.

When programming websites, for instance, the scope of the problem is well defined and the programmer's task is to select from an array of known solutions and integrate them into a system that is robust, secure, responsive, scalable, elegant, etc. This is an inherently "creative" task – every programmer solves the problem in a new way – but the emphasis is on robustness, elegance, etc. and not on the idea.

On the flip side, creative programmers are not expected to create especially robust software. They often write software for a single event (often just a demo) on a single platform and poor software quality is regularly tolerated.

All that said, I think the term "experimental" is infinitely more appropriate. Unfortunately "creative" has become an industry term and we'll have to wait a generation for it to go way.

I think an alternate interpretation of that study could be that if schizophrenia (considered my many to be an outdated term) runs in the family, future children will learn earlier that they need to try something to deal with the problem of schizophrenic parents being bad parents and making things worse overall.

More bluntly: because children are screwed up faster by the collective parenting habits of multiple generations of mentally ill ancestors, they turn to possible fixes outside of their screwed up families: junior high + pot is normal. Marijuana, if anything, is a minor symptom here.
I can concede this. I don't really know the answer. But individualism alone doesn't seem to be enough.

Their are plenty of artist and individualist in Germany which has a very large art culture. Would Germany be considered one of the more innovative countries in the world?

There are a lot of assumptions in this statement worth examining:

1. A productivity system must work for a long time.

2. A conversation about productivity systems must exclude those that are in the "doesn't work" and "interesting new idea" stages.

3. Productivity systems and workflows are not personality (or personality type) dependent - what works for one person doesn't qualify as something worth investigating by those who identify with the "successful user".

I think #2 and #3 stand alone, but #1 is a bit more interesting:

There exist people for whom any productivity system will not work in the long run. There are several factors that can be involved in this:

* they are actually more productive when ramping up a system and early in using it - the thinking about the system to productivity inspires actual productivity. Once they internalize the rules and the ramp up, it stops working because they don't focus any more

* The sort of person who internally chafes at rules/structure may experience productivity at first with a new system, because (s)he as decided to comply with that system, but subconsciously starts to figure out ways to meet the rules of the productivity system without actually being productive. Some people just do this, whether they intend to or or not, it's just a thing.

* Novelty itself inspires them to do more

* Productivity inspires productivity - the act of setting up a productivity system is productive, therefor inspiring other productivity elsewhere. (similar to the first example but a bit different)

And so on.

Why not give such people another system or lifehack or workflow hack or whatever you label it, to chew on?

(ok I claimed I'd leave #3 alone, but experiments like this allow people see more things that work for someone a bit, and help give them ideas to tailor the system to themselves)
This sounds true if you look at Japan and most of Europe, where it seems entrepreneurs have to pay for their failed business debts for the rest of their lives.
Thanks for your detail explanation.

I haven't used spot instance before, I am curious how you handle the termination gracefully? i.e. When the spot instance get terminated during the middle of transactions, e.g. uploading large file, writing to DB etc.
There are some guys at Microsoft that would probably want people to interpret the GPL in the scariest way possible.

One thing we can still be very confident about: if there is other life out there, it's not significantly any more intelligent than we are. (See Robin Hanson's Great Filter argument: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahttp%...)
Or even more simply: is there something in marijuana that makes schizophrenia more tolerable than with alcohol. Furthermore, mentally ill people are going to have more trouble finding a regular pot dealer, the black market being an inherently suspicious place, so as their condition worsens alcohol becomes the most-available drug.
Having worked on node-graph UIs in the past and used software that relies on this metaphor, it's a dangerous thing to not build in undo/redo support. It's too easy to delete an edge, and spend a bunch of time trying to redo your work. That really pisses off users.

Also, not giving the edges of the graph a direction is a problem -- it's hard to quickly grasp what the 'result' node should be. Ditto for not using fixed-position plugs on the nodes: input plugs should be at the top, outputs at the bottom (or left and right).

In the end, I'm not sure who this is for: if you just want to click a button to deploy some services, it's doubtful that you'll want to muck around with wiring up nodes; and if you're putting these packages together, it'll probably be faster to just use a text editor.
There are almost no basements in California (a basement's purpose is to protect the foundation from shifting during the winter freeze-thaw cycle). Considering how much innovation comes out of CA I'd say that theory is debunked.
Maybe it's useful because you might hire staff or have co-workers who happen to have a mental illness and being informed about it is a good thing?
It never worked for me. It told me exactly which sites I was wasting time on. That didn't stop me.

California has a lot of garages though. Its a similar sentiment.
In California you can replace "basement" with "garage".
Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton

Really, anything by Michael Crichton.
You're vastly overestimating the costs involved. It's common for such P2P services to take 20-30% to cover everything you've mentioned and make a profit.
Lyft takes 20% cut from drivers and faces much stiffer regulation, guarantee's drivers $18/hr, and has a $1M insurance policy. PathJoy faces smaller overhead and taking 20% should be plenty profitable.
Top 3 "favorite" logical fallacies
I definitely agree. It just seems that if these companies and recruiters were really that desperate they would consider a Master's in CS as even a second-tier substitute, or at least someone who could ramp up quickly.
What about garages?
Functional equivalent of basements when it comes to marginal space. In colder areas people wouldn't imagine tinkering around in garages as it's way too cold.
`postMessage` is faster than `setTimeout` but is unreliable. For example, it's synchronous in IE8. I may add support for `postMessage`, but for now I support "new and reliable" and "old and reliable".

California and the entire southwest however, have garages; which serve the same purpose with respect to the entrepreneur assertion. So I wouldn't go debunking anything so quickly.
It should be extensive, United States of America is the 3rd largest country by land mass in the world. Larger than China.

Airline deregulation didn't occur in the USA until the late 70's. Until then most American's still preferred to travel by car. Not rail.

So I do agree that American's had less of a need for a national rail because the country had a well developed interstate highway system for all those cheap gas guzzling cars. Great until gas became expensive. Oops.

I would argue southwest could only succeed because of a failed rail system. But I have no data to support that theory.
Ask HN: How important are UML diagrams at your work?
Hi everyone,

Currently I'm a University student in North America. I got into a conversation with a friend of mine, where he said that UML diagrams don't serve much purpose when you start working at a company. However I believe that there is a rational behind learning it otherwise we wouldn't.

So my question to HN......Do you use UML diagrams at work? And if so, which ones (Sequential, Use Case,Domain model....)?
You've sparked two thoughts in me:

1) "I truly wish I could answer that question." - Having recently re-kindled an interest in space left dormant since childhood, I'm thinking this is the kind of thing I could happily dedicate my life to.

2) "I wonder if a hybrid of Google Answers and Kickstarter to answer this kind of interesting question could thrive?" - Apparently, there have been a few attempts at the latter part at least[1][2], but the list of projects is pretty short. Crowd-funded research with open-access findings seems like potentially wonderful thing.

Awesome! Most of the file transfer sites I've used before required uploading the entire file before letting you download anything. The ability to stream is a big plus.

Is there a limit to file size?
You can get a rough estimate of the chances of being able to observe a planet via the transit method by dividing a star's diameter by half of the orbital diameter of the planet (for Earth it's something like a 1:300 chance).

For radial velocity the signal detected is proportional to the sine of the orbital inclination. The detectability of Jupiter depends highly on which instruments are being used for observation. My "coin flip" estimate was just a SWAG. If you make use of the best radial velocity detection systems today which have a sensitivity of around 1 m/s and compare that against the maximum 13 m/s radial velocity that Jupiter imparts on the Sun then you end up with much higher chances of detection (80+%) assuming a random relative orbital inclination, but that assumes there aren't any other sources of noise involved.
The alternative is massively shipping jobs out to India, and be clear, jobs once moved out are not coming back. H1Bs stay back in the country and spend a portion of their income in the country, thus helping local economy. IBM already employs more than a third of their work force in India, so does accenture, oracle etc. The fact is capital is free to move in search of cheap labor; if labor is not accorded the same flexibility, regional imbalances will soon surface wreaking the local economy. Just like what happened when manufacturing shifted to China.
"Correlation does not imply causation"

Yes, need problems in order to have innovative problems. With this theory, third world nations with the worst infrastructure would be booming with innovation.

There is so much more required than problems. America drives innovation because of many factors, including standard of living, capitalistic markets, freedom of choice, and access to educational opportunities.
My brother is mentally disabled. I love him dearly, and I've fight tooth and nail for him to have as normal a life as possible. However, I would not describe him as being a likely candidate for being a "contributing member of society." His affliction fundamentally prevents him from doing almost any job. That's just the reality of it.
Speed up your Vim movement with this cool game
Game was actually created late September 2011, but hasn't got much press. The game is not meant to be easy. In the training portion, you get thirty seconds to gather your bearings, and then a little motivation is provided by two menacing "CS Dogmas" that try to capture you. Your character is an old Mega-Man boss, and your goal is simply to collect as many rubies and diamonds and build up as many points as possible before getting captured. In the real game, an ever increasing number of "CS Dogmas" chase you until you are caught. Look for a new version of the game with levels, attack abilities and magic sometime this year. Enjoy :)
Wow, seems like I saw something about hacking insulin pumps like that a while ago.
not at the moment, and not planning on putting a restriction on file size :)
I linked to the HTML spec because it explains that the slash only means something for void or foreign elements. The <div> element is neither, so the slash is either interpreted as an attribute or ignored. You are correct, both in this comment and the previous one; I was agreeing with you and providing sources.

My comment about the spaces was trivia on top of your trivia. I thought it was relevant because all of your examples of self-closing tags had a space.
The thinking is interesting but very, very incomplete. In France most service are full of crap as well, probably as much or maybe more so than in the US. You have to cope with super inefficient postal systems, long queues in administrations, trains running late and going on strike the whole time - I could make a list that runs for hours but that is not the point.

Innovation does not JUST happen because people are angry. It's necessary but that is not the only way. You need access to capital. You need flexible labor laws. You need an ecosystem that will support new initiatives even against existing laws and principles. And there are cultural aspects as well.

The fact that the poster considers Japan as "not a source of innovation" is flawed, as there is still a lot of innovation happening in here. It's just that he probably does not see it, but many companies are introducing new services all the time in Japan - if you don't bother watching what is happening and just look at the headlines in English papers, you are missing something.
Also a loading gif or something. The pages makes it look like nothing is happening. There is no progress indicator.
Yup, there's JS: http://www.romneytaxplan.com/js/core.min.js
That is the exception provided to the 'default' web browser.
thanks! it was incredible to hear James Gosling say good things!
there are progress updates, but only after the file begins transferring. also, we can't show you progress in IE, so we just show an animated spinning gif (only in IE)... what browser are you using, and at which step in the process do you feel that we're lacking progress updates?
I put that up after the comment to make it more clear ;)
Its a fun exercise to try to imagine what the medical/drug industry would look like sans patents. If it was infeasible for a corporation to spend many years and (m|b)illions of dollars to develop a drug because as soon as you did a competitor would copy it, would we still have drugs? If we did who would make them?

In the future advances in science and computer modeling should make drug development much more rapid than it is today. This could vastly lower the cost to bring drugs to market and put drug development easily within the grasp of a large non-profit organization.

Imagine that instead granting a private company the exclusive right to sell a drug, that instead everyone invested in its development and upon its discovery its formula was shared freely. For most drugs, the synthesis is not a major component of the cost. This would lead to rapid deployment of the drug at very low cost to those who need it.

If there was no copyright law, you can be sure there would still be drugs! And perhaps health insurance companies would be interested in drug development. Fewer sick people and cheaper medicine should lead to greater profits.
Every other social news site tends to pull away from techish news. Hacker News does it too from time to time, but on the average, it does a good job at it. I also love people like Peter Norvig jumping in and talking about a subject or some random startup "Show HN"ing their new product.
We have a few different types of auditing information. At that point in the timeline, it was all in PostgreSQL. Today, we keep only the critical auditing information in the main database.
Wouldn't that be relatively easy to do client-side as a bookmarklet or GreaseMonkey script?

(And yes, that's a challenge, lazyweb!)
This is so undeservedly harsh.

Seriously, considering that 0.9.8 was released in 2005. During the last 7 years are you telling me openssl is the only "unixy" library to have a new backwards incompatible version come out? And by the way, they are still providing updates to 0.9.8. It's still the default version in debian stable.

http://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html
http://www.openssl.org/

So to recap: 0.9.8 is by no means unsupported. The saints over at the openssl group are continuing to provide updates to this 7 year old library so that people like Apple can continue providing seamless security updates to users who have linked against 0.9.8.
If you are lucky enough to be able to use Postgres 9.2, consider running pg_stat_statements all the time. It is one of my favorite pieces of work: it canonicalizes queries and can tell you a number of useful statistics on it.

One of the advantages is that it can help you identify queries that are both very short but frequent (and could use a cache, or whatnot), and would fly below the radar of most log aggregations, because most people turn off logging off for very short statements. See also: identifying n+1 query pathologies.

It really blows away log analysis and pg_fouine for all but the most heavyweight tasks, and its approach is a lot more sound than log analysis tools because it uses the semantic representation -- not the syntactic one -- of the query submitted.

I've lived and done business in Europe and America. IMHO, employment law in America is easier for new ventures, and the risk-taking mentality is more celebrated in America. You can have an excellent life in either place. But for launching a new innovation, America is the best environment I've seen, even with all its many problems.
From the editor-promoted comment:

Why are we bothering with developing new languages when what we should be doing is developing a web standard for a universal bytecode + VM? Hell, use the JVM or the CLR, just as long as it doesn't tie me to a specific language. Dart may be better than JavaScript (I would hope so) but that doesn't mean it's a silver bullet. If we create a standardized bytecode, it doesn't matter what language produced it.

I've been thinking about something like this for a long time. However, the question came up in an interview or presentation with either Brendan Eich or Douglas Crockford (I can't remember exactly where I read this) about why Javascript won out over a VM solution (supposedly this is what the JVM was made for). The most salient argument against a universal VM was that maintaining backwards compatibility between byte-code versions and the competing eco-system of languages would have been a nightmare. Instead the web targeted a single language (and all the trouble that has been along with it). I would rather like to see other languages on the web but I don't think a browser is good place to do it.

Instead what I'd rather see is http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/ulfar/cuba/paper/ -- work could be done to improve that initial design, but the idea IMO is that the OS already handles processes and allocating memory well and the browser vendors are terrible at this task by comparison.

Either way, Dart is an interesting experiment and I'd give it a shot on some prototyping projects.
I would guess the same way you do when regular servers terminate/die for whatever reason.
