The first paragraph mentions that you can boot an OS on each of those cores. Or did you mean something else? Of course memory is tight as rbanffy pointed out, so loading up so much duplicate OS overhead might not be the most productive use.

Edit: 1 GHz sounds like plenty until you realize it's in-order execution. This would be noticeably sluggish.

That's all well and good, but the GPL is set up to address problems that the authors saw, that public domain licensing does not - mainly that they thought users should have the right to obtain the source to the stuff running on their machines.

Others like it because it's a way of saying 'you can use this stuff I've put a lot of effort into, but only if we get to see the enhancements you make'.

I know that neither of these things is a priority for some developers, who prefer things to be used as widely as possible and as unrestricted as possible, but that's not for everyone.

disclaimer: co-author of NSQ [1] here

Agreed. Message queues play an important role for us (bitly) in being a layer of fault tolerance, buffering, and a means to perform various operational tasks.

They're so important to us that we decided to build something that worked exactly like we wanted.

NSQ is a realtime distributed message processing system where we've taken the approach of focussing on making it ops friendly and easy to get started.

IMO, solutions that make it easy to develop on and administrate are most important... because things break. NSQ is straightforward to deploy (limit dependencies), simple to configure (runtime discovery), and client libraries provide a lot of functionality important for handling failures (like backoff, deferred messages, etc.) for a variety of use cases.

We've written an in-depth introductory blog post [2] about NSQ that has more details.

IE10 had to skip a bunch of frames and use half a core to not quite keep up with chrome and roughly match Firefox... Well, I suppose its an improvement still, but they had a pretty low bar to begin with.
With Persona you don't need site specific passwords and you don't expose a password to sites that you are signing to. This is a huge advantage over popular one password per site model.
Yup, just yesterday http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4784834
I'm trying to be objective and not emotionally involved about this issue.

This is what I understand: historically you don't defeat and dominate your enemy and after some generations all is good. Historically you killed everyone to ensure no new generations would come back to fight back.

This means that historically all children were murdered too. Total eradication of entire civilizations.

The modern western warfare now respects children and woman. This is a HUGE change, and the consequences are still being discovered.

Now everything is a public relations issue. I don't agree or disagree with what's happening, I simply watch in fascination as an external unrelated entity.

I seem to recall that Honan's accounts were hacked not because of his password strength, but because Amazon and Apple at the time had flawed password-recovery options that allowed an attacker to reset his password.
No: the compatibility modes aren't the same as the real browser - they try but some features, especially things like CSS or DOM handling of errors, non-standard properties, etc. will not be consistent enough to avoid testing in the real thing.

When IE8 was out, setting IE7 compatibility mode using an HTTP header worked for 99% of a huge internal business app but I had to monkey-patch around a third-party library because the code which worked in IE7 raised an exception in IE8's IE7 compatibility mode due to significant differences in the underlying JavaScript engine. This was an improvement - IE7 should have done the same - but it broke a huge enterprise shovelware system with an indifferent vendor who waited until after IE8 was released to start testing (a support manager actually contacted me asking if they could redistribute my patch!).
I've never used Rosetta Stone, but it looks like a steep price tag.

Why don't you try some of the free online services to learn a language? After participating for 4-6 weeks, you will understand your own commitment level and then make the jump to invest in Rosetta Stone.

When I was learning french, it helped me when I watched TV in my own language and read the subtitles in the language I was learning. I would then do the reverse. Watch the show in the language I was learning and read the native language subtitles.

Good luck,

My mother told me about getting the first TV in their neighborhood in the 1950s -- people were standing on their porch, staring in, trying to figure out what the hell the bright loud box was. Before that, they got their news from the movies and papers. Some newsreels went on until the 1970s, as seen in MASH.

She also told me about the government buying her best friend's house (and everyone else's house around there) to demolish them and put I-5 through the city. Before then, the only way from city to city were highways like Route 66, which wound through cities like residential streets.

I'm not sure how our present libertarian population would feel about governments applying eminent domain over thousands of miles of perfectly good farmland and housing.
It's actually very important to point out when people are being antisemitic, just like it's important to point out when people are being racist or sexist. Most people don't like to think of themselves as bigots, so pointing out their bigotry sometimes wakes them up a bit.

For example, you obviously don't like being called an antisemite, and you don't want to think of yourself as an antisemite. I hope that pointing out your very real bigotry will bother you enough that you'll spend some time exploring the underlying facts and thinking more about why the Jewish state is held to a standard no other nation is, and whether its actions are actually 'atrocities' or whether this belief comes from other antisemitic propaganda and lies.

Best of luck.
Team video: one 0 minute CA view (auto embed?) on the 2nd then one full view from CA the next day.

Demo video: unsure, I shared the link with a few people in CA so that messed up those numbers. However, no actual views (time > 0) on the same day the team video was viewed for a minute. Again, a 0 minute view on the day of submission.
Are video views a good barometer to measure YC interest for interviews?

Well, let's agree that IE10 does well whatever it is designed to do well. Cool. Now what? We have an IE10 browser that compares well with Google Chrome, Opera and perhaps Firefox too (I don't know the exact details about your tests that were making Firefox crash as often as you've claimed in your article).

So is this the point where Microsoft takes on the real challenge? Will it go beyond its typical high-speed sales pitch for the new browser and attack the more relevant problem that is to really get those IE6/IE7/IE8 and perhaps even IE9 users to adopt IE10 immediately?

Just a few days ago, I saw on HN how IE6 has become a political election issue in South Korea!

Pushing the lazy and entrenched users out of the hole is a much more important (and harder) problem to solve than to win medals over browser speed and performance tests. Even if tests like these help push the cause of IE10, it would be appropriate to give out all details of the tests and realize why Firefox was 'disagreeing' to your test at all?
Oops, missed that!

In my defence I drank a lot of rum last night...
In school I was in love with APL. I got a chance to drop Fortran and sub it with an APL class (which my Physics prof insisted I take) and it was absolutely fantastic. What an eye opener! It kind of screws you up because --as an early stage programmer-- you can easily look at other languages and start thinking that everything else really sucks. Of course, that's not the case.

My list matches yours in probably a slightly different order. I love C because it can be very low level and also allow you to write high level code efficiently. I have written code for countless embedded projects with C as well as used it to optimize computationally intensive portions of iOS applications (where Objective-C would make things 1000x slower).

Forth? I've mostly done robotics with Forth. Wow. What a language. It's a really amazing feeling --if you ever get the chance to do it-- to bootstrap an embedded system using Forth. A little assembly and very soon you are off and running. Write you own screen editor, etc. I had a chance to do that once. It was a blast. There's nothing like writing your own disk controllers and other driver software. Forth makes it possible without a huge amount of pain. Neat.

My list would be: C, Forth, Lisp, APL.

Funny, no OO languages there. OK, I'll add Java.
There is one more strange thing about IE10 that I should mention. IE9 often maxes out one CPU core when a Lucidchart diagram is open, even when the user is completely idle. IE10 is somewhat better, but on our test machine it still used about 50% of one core when the user is idle. No other browser has any detectable CPU load under the same conditions.

Has anyone else seen behavior similar to this in their own javascripting (is that even a word?)? I hadn't been paying special attention to IE's CPU usage but I'd like to think I would have noticed this in any of my own stuff when I was doing browser compatibility testing.
But at least people realize that doors aren't perfect, and get things insured. Even bank vaults aren't perfect, that's why the FDIC insures money in bank accounts. People never think about their passwords being insecure, so they don't take any precautions against breaches.
Yes! This is the problem, most people are non-techies (believe it or not) and have one password: 123456. Passwords are a slight inconvenience to them and that is why we have to design for the weakest link. The publicly available databases of passwords makes them irrelevant for the vast majority of people.[2]

We are using the same method of authorization that was going on 1,000 years ago. "Sentries would challenge those wishing to enter an area or approaching it to supply a password or watchword, and would only allow a person or group to pass if they knew the password."[2]

This method has no context in a world bursting at the seams with sharing, connection and relevance. Who are you, where did you come from, who is with you, what is your purpose and how did you get here?

It should be contextual like: What is the speed of a swallow? (African or European?)[3]

Hi, Lucid CTO here. We've spent a lot of time in the IE profiler, and it never appears that any of our Javascript is consuming much CPU at all. There are a handful of functions, like the one you quoted, that poll frequently on a setInterval. But none of them are doing much more than checking a variable and returning almost every time. It's really bizarre.

> Arguments against helping in ways that have specific impact (providing food, assisting with relocation, etc) are a straw man. It's not better to do nothing than something of small value.

My argument isn't to do nothing - again, this looks like a nice gesture - but that you should do more. Maybe take all your earnings for a month and donate them to help the victims. You can evidently afford to give out almost-free accounts, can you do anything better?

> I have plenty of photo albums in my closet and if those somehow got lost or destroyed then I'd be devastated (more than any other physical object in my house).

Then scan them and throw them on Dropbox. Your service actively costs the victims money, Dropbox does not, so which helps more?

Also, Axiom, my favorite little Python object layer over SQLite, has native scheduler support.

Ask HN: I think I know how to build a Holodeck-like 3D projector, now what?
For the past 6-7 months I have this idea that I'm slowly but surely developing in my head of building a holedeck-like 3D projector, essentially allowing both fully immersive virtual reality and true augment reality.

I don't have much hardware technical background (I'm a web developer / designer), but I have researched the subject, and all the components are already existing and are a working technology, some are available commercially others are used mainly in advanced robotic and avionic research labs, but all are accessible and quite cheap.

I believe that a working prototype can be developed in 6-9 months, and a commercial product in 18-36 months, leading to a fully immersive display technology that can work indoors and outdoors, support a lot of users at the same time and providing a different image for each of the users depending on their location in space, and it would cost no more than $2000 for the first commercial product.

What do I do? Who do I talk to?

>What about every other piece of data in your application?

I create a type for it? Why do you think RGB being bytes makes it special? Bools aren't bytes, but I can't pass anything other than True and False for a Bool.

>OOP combines opaque data structures with the operations performed on them.

That does nothing to prevent errors. Having the operations require the correct types does prevent errors on the other hand, regardless of whether or not the operations and data are put into an "object" together or not.
Continuations : Information Technology and Hybrid Organizations (Thesis)
Ditto. I've switched to generating passwords that are as long as the site allows (well, up to 80 or so, with spaces and special characters and whatnot).

I think I'd rather stop reading FUD articles on Wired written by noobs, than give up passwords.
That is also my recollection of the event. Basically, the recovery process for one gave away the secret allowing resetting the password on the other one, something along those lines.

No. Your elevator pitch should start with the simplest explanation of the value your product provides, THEN explain how it delivers that value.

>In 1886, a bottle of Coke cost a nickel. It was also a nickel in 1900, 1915, and 1930. In fact, 70 years after the first Coke was sold, you could still buy a bottle for a nickel.

Without getting into a huge argument about the causes of inflation, it's really weird that they didn't even mention the word inflation until almost the very end.

In 1886, an ounce of gold cost $20.65 and in 1930 an ounce of gold cost $20.65. 70 years after 1886 (1956) it had increased to $34.99 (a 70% increase). But surely a large part of the reason that a Coke cost a nickel for 70 years was that there was no real inflation for a large part of that time, during which time Coca-Cola also had the opportunity to significantly increase production and cost efficiency.
