Oh, and the tech part. Got interested in Ham Radio, licensed at 13, extra class at 16 (back when it was much harder), university for EE at 17. First Christmas break, went down to Union Station in Chicago 8 hours early with a friend who had an earlier train. During the wait, I read the entire textbook (McCracken, I think it was) about Fortran II, got a job programming the following summer after pestering the professor to distraction with questions.
Last I knew, and I'll admit I haven't looked recently, the gigabit was actually limited to something like 480M. The only other one I can think of that is armv7+ (that isnt mx6) with gigabit is the OpenBlocks which has 2 or 4 gigE ports but there is no video on it.
Your rant about unity mirrors exactly what I was feeling when I upgraded nearly a year back. Today I just cannot go back to anything else other than unity. I was once a hard core KDE user and just out of curiosity tried KDE 4.9 after a long time to see how things have changed. Though KDE offers a lot of customization and has cool effects it just isn't polished enough. The integrated menu and title bar in Unity is enough to stop me from moving to anything else.
That being said, I do agree that Ubuntu bootup and shutdown is very slow and yes, its slower than windows 7 for me :(

Right, but the best explanation for why "Django" is spelled with a <d> is not that the <d> is silent and the <j> represents /d͡ʒ/ but rather that, as you say, the diagraph <dj> represents /d͡ʒ/.

That's an awful excuse. People rely on libraries in order to do their jobs. A "worse" library with better documentation helps more people.

Interesting. Root level cnames go against the RFC spec, yet it seems this solution is technically on par. Looking at the linked site, users mark the root as an A record and then select a new option in Route53 called 'Alias'. Since many DNS providers enforce actual A records, sounds like route53 will often be required for this feature (not a show stopper for most, just checking).

FTA: "In the Amazon Route 53 Management Console, create two records for your domain. Create an A (alias) record in the domain's DNS hosted zone, mark it as an Alias, then choose the value that corresponds to your root domain name.

Create a CNAME record and set the value to the S3 website endpoint for the first bucket."

For HackerNews readers, and also for me that's probably true. However, the popularity of Twitter would indicate to me otherwise.
All the architecture documentation is available. The instruction set is custom. There's a gcc port. The OS is hosted on the ARM, but several of their demos involve calculations offloaded to the Epiphany chip, otherwise there wouldn't be much point.

It is not SIMD. Each core is totally independent of the others. Basically the cores are structured in a grid, and all cores have 32KB in-core static RAM, but can also access the memory of all the other cores (at the cost of a few cycles delay), or main memory.

You could certainly use them as much like a SIMD if you wanted to, but then you'd likely get better performance out of a GPU.

We'll see when they deliver on their kickstarter project what type of performance people get out of it in reality...

Glad to hear it. Thanks. :) I've heard of a few 7 or 8 year olds going through it, I'm glad I managed to make it accessible for them too (even with a little help, I'm sure.)
Adding my two cents -- I'm new to programming, having started this year; and one of the first things I used to get the ball rolling was Hackety Hack. I got a lot of the fundamentals engrained in my head with it and definitely thank you for the work you guys put in thus far!

While I may have switched to a few other resources to learn, I felt like Hackety Hack was a GREAT first few steps in the right direction.
Ah yeah, that makes sense to me. Even if you treat 'd' as a kind of modifier in French (it turns the 'j' from a sibilant into an affricative) it's clearly still having an effect on the pronunciation. I was somewhat objecting to whether the the 'd' itself is being pronounced, but that does get pretty hair-splitting, especially since /d/ is a stop. The transcription /dʒ/ sure makes it look like it's pronounced, but if IPA used a single character to transcribe the affricative, the 'd' would look like it disappeared in French too. But, granted, rather than having no effect (as in English), in French it'd still modulate the pronunciation of the 'j' even in that analysis.

Incidentally, I wonder if there are any languages where /d͡ʒ/ != /dʒ/ or if it's just impossible to produce that sequence.

That approach might not be good for the economy overall though. India will become a spending driven society, like the US. In which case, credit will play a big role. It is just inevitable.
When you build an abstraction correctly, the things you manipulate become more meaningful. That's the point.

Analysis: For tech investors, it's hard to know when to bolt
I've used twisted in a quite a few production projects. One of them was for the management interface of a wireless switch. The best part about twisted is that it comes with about two dozen client and server implementations for various standard protocols. At another one of my previous gigs, we were using Cyclone (the twisted port of Tornado) for a document management system. Eventually, the customers wanted the ability to upload documents via (S)FTP using the same credentials their users used for the web based system. With I was able to code something up in about an hours time. I believe it wouldn't have been that easy if we weren't using twisted.
I am going to offer a straight advice.

How about Tech Journalism. I think you are more of an observer for now (and its a good thing). It will suit you (my guess).

If you are driving unprecedented revenue to your company go to your bosses boss, the CEO, whoever it takes. Getting pushed out is stupid, if you are good at what you do and love it then fight. You have nothing to lose. I don't understand people who will give their lives to a company, truly believe in what it makes, the people who make it, and the problem it solves, and fold in the face of this.
This has happened to me more times that I'd like to admit.

One tip I can give if you find yourself in this situation: Try to make friends with your boss's boss. Be preemptive. Before he has a chance to turn on you, you need to turn on him.

The letters "j" in English and "dj" in French represent the same sound†, what Wikipedia calls the "voiced palato-velolar affricate" [0]. That's /dʒ/ in IPA.

In English orthography, yes, the "D" in "Django"is silent, at least in the sense that if you remove it from the French spelling you'll get the phonetic English spelling.

Why doesn't Apple make it possible to use its development environment (required for developing products to run on its hardware) in a VM? This seems like a user-unfriendly decision.
Whether or not it is, I don't think the average middle class consumer is going to be concerned with anything but their own financial well-being, over other relatively macro-economic considerations and consequences.
Why do people host static websites on S3 at all? It really isn't designed for that: it is an object store. Yes: it has a URL structure accessible in a way that makes it look like static hosting, and Amazon caved pretty early to people wanting to use it that way by adding features to make it more reasonable, but it doesn't fix the underlying problem.

Specifically, it is both allowed to--and often does--return 50x errors to requests. The documentation for the S3 API states you should immediately retry; that's fine for an API where I can code that logic into my client library, but is simply an unacceptable solution on the web. Maybe there are one or two exceptions to this, but I have simply never seen a web browser retry these requests: the result is you just get broken images, broken stylesheets, or even entire broken pages. Back when Twitter used to serve user avatar pictures directly from S3 the issue was downright endemic (as you'd often load a page with 30 small images to request from S3, so every few pages you'd come across a dud).

Sure, it only happens to some small percentage of requests, but for a popular website that can be a lot of people (and even for an unpopular one, every user counts), and it is orders of magnitude higher of a random error rate than I've experience with my own hosting on EC2; it is also irritating because it is random: when my own hosting fails, it fails in its entirely: I don't have some tiny fraction of requests for users all over the world failing.

Regardless, I actually have an administrative need to stop hosting a specific x.com to www.x.com redirect on some non-AWS hosting I have (the DNS is hosted by Route53, etc., but I was left with a dinky HTTP server in Kentucky somewhere handling the 301), and I figured "well, if it doesn't have to actually request through to an underlying storage system, maybe I won't run into problems; I mean, how hard is it to take a URL and just immediately return a 301?", but after just a few minutes of playing with it I managed to get a test request that was supposed to return a 301 returning a 500 error instead. :(

This wasn't just a single-time problem either: I've setup a loop requesting random files (based on the timestamp of the test run and a sequence number from the test) off this pure-redirect bucket that I've left running for a few minutes, and some of the S3 nodes I'm talking to (72.21.194.13 being a great example) are just downright unreliable, often returning 500 errors in small clumps (that one node is giving me a 2% failure rate!!). S3 is simply not an appropriate mechanism for site hosting, and it is a shame that Amazon is encouraging people to misuse it in this fashion.

(edit: Great, and now someone downvoted me: would you like more evidence that this is a problem?)
Genuine question, as I want to learn from this (as I run similar service). If you were to launch one such critical service, what would you do differently to assure your customers that you really care & won't screw them behind their back? Definitive answer is: first of all don't screw your customers. But how do you make sure you convey, you won't?

We have a very large MongoDB installation running in production and at scale, and it works pretty well.

That said, 99% of our production issues involve bugs in MongoDB and it's inability to effectively use all available resources before it becomes unresponsive. I would say it needs a few more generations to become truly solid.

I'm trying to think of other modifier examples. Not a perfect analogy but I don't think you'd say that, in English, the <h> in <sh> is silent.

I wonder about Italian, though. Would it be correct to say the <g> is silent in <gli>?

Seems a much tougher call in Italian. I would say /d͡ʒ/ has a much closer relationship to /dʒ/ than /ʎ/ does to /gli/ for example.

It is very easy to set up S3 to provide the files to cloudfront ... have you seen any issues with that?
It's about risk. If even one person was infected and died of smallpox in, say, New York City you would see 24/7 news coverage and billions of dollars of government expenditures to keep things controlled. And it would be justified.
"It's easy! Just have a huge network of people to give you gigs!"
I've used it, and had some success with it, but now use my own stack for network programming.

I struggled with twisted several times without getting it. Then I did some non-blocking socket/select programming and thought, "I wish I had a library that.." and then realised what twisted did.

There's a few reasons I'm not using it now. Main one is that I've turned against frameworks. I find it's generally easier to understand a problem and write the code than to really learn a generic framework and coax it to your needs. And by just writing the code yourself you don't have to deal with dependencies, you have more freedom to make changes, debugging is easier, it's easy to deploy in a restricted environment.

Also, I have a rule of thumb when I'm writing python that if I'm using inheritance I'm doing something wrong. I have huge trouble understanding duck-type code that uses inheritance. Encapsulation is always possible, and I find it a lot easier to refactor. Twisted uses inheritance extensively. The docs encourage you to extend their classes. In places the application developer is expected to reach into framework objects and poke variables.
I really wish to have a robotic maid at home. That would solve the biggest problem for me!
I believe not: I'm pretty certain putting CloudFront in front of your bucket is fine (it handles the HTTP layering correctly); this problem is one of attempting to directly host static content from S3 only.

(That said, I have very little personal experience with CloudFront, as in my experience it is more expensive for fewer features with less POPs than using a "real CDN" like CDNetworks, or even Akamai.)

(edit:)

For this specific circumstance, I'm not certain at all what CloudFront's behavior will be; it seems like the "redirect" concept is a property of the "static website hosting" feature of S3, not part of the underlying bucket, and CloudFront "normally" (in quotes, as I just mean the default origin options it provides) directly accesses the bucket.

I thereby imagine that if I simply set a custom origin to the ___.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com URL provided by the S3 static hosting feature I will get the right behavior (where CloudFront forwards and caches the 301 responses), but then I have no clue if it will correctly retry the 500 error responses.

That said, I will point out that I am not even certain if CloudFront retries the 500 requests anyway: it occurred to me that with a small error rate combined with a cache, if you (as I somewhat did at least) expect the potential fix to be S3-specific, you might simply never really "catch" an actual failing request in a test scenario.

It could then be that CloudFront retries all 50x failures (in which case if I set it up with a custom origin to the S3 static hosting URL you'd still get the retry behavior), but I somehow doubt that it does that (and just earlier I saw two requests in a row to S3 fail for these 301 redirects, so it might not even help).
you are underestimating the power of the government and central bank.

if they decide that they want to move the country in a given direction, they have all the tools to make it happen. Just look at the way US home buyers got immediate tax credit as an example of how this could play out.
But if you're trying to explain why Django is spelled the way it is, it's far more insightful to explain /d/ -> <d> and /ʒ/ -> <j> than to posit the <d> comes from nowhere and is just silent.
I think there are lots of very small disjoint communities that are duplicating effort. That's my fear and out look.

Pocket used to be Read it Later, a paid app. Early this year they switched to Pocket, went free, and raised $5m. So right now, afaik, they don't make any money.

The founder has said in articles/interviews that going free was the right choice for pocket, they're not looking to be acquired, and not ready to talk about their future business model/revenue streams, heres him from July when asked about their plan:

We’ve known where we are headed since last year. But like anything we do with any product or feature, we don’t release it until it’s ready. This is a new, uncharted space and we’re not prepared to release something that isn’t right.

I'll admit, I'm pretty weary of the whole thing, but willing to see where it's headed, I guess. I think if their plan was to just flog off their users data, they would have started doing it already, but it seems like they have something else (Hopefully interesting/unique) planned.

Route 53 alias feature is RFC compliant - we will return an A record for an apex alias. Aliases can be used at non-apex too to avoid following CNAME chains. So, for e.g., the configuration in docs can be improved upon by having www.example be an alias to example.com instead of a CNAME.
To start encoding at different times with each core you would need a really fast (read: expensive) storage (every core will need a steady stream to compress, if you have 64 cores you need a storage that can handle 64 parallel requests really fast or a lot of RAM to cache everything) and the chips have to handle really heavy I/O. The current many-core ARMs only have a small amount of dedicated RAM for each core.

Also, keyframes are not known from the start in many encodings. A keyframe is inserted when the difference between a frame and the next one is big; this can only be detected when encoding, or with a multi-pass encoding.
A Stupid Question About Housing Prices
I was flying transatlantic with a friend who has a medical degree when they called for a doctor.

There was an older fellow who had a heart condition for which he was taking medication. His reasoning had gone something like "I need to take one of these pills four times a day, but I'll be traveling, so I'll just take all four of them right before checking in". Needless to say, this didn't work very well, and he was having sort of issue with his heart as a result. The poor guy was so scared he literally shit himself.

My friend actually had to make the call whether we needed to land on an airport in Greenland to get the guy to a hospital. He thought about it for a minute and decided that the guy was going to live, so we continued to Amsterdam, where an ambulance was waiting.

As a "thank you" from KLM, my friend was allowed in the cockpit during landing (this was before 9/11), and he got a bag full of little bottles of alchoholic beverages. Unfortunately, he's a teetotaller.

In my view, it's simpler to explain that the English "j" and the French "dj" represent the same sound ... and leave out all the slashes and brackets and arrows and whatnot.
The flight time requirement for a commercial pilot is only 250 hours. All flight instructors are commercial pilots. They are more common than you think.
Also /d/ + /ʒ/ does become /d͡ʒ/ in English (and potentially all languages that have /d/ and /ʒ/) so even if you had a single symbol for /d͡ʒ/ that was unrelated to that for /d/, the relationship between /dʒ/ and /d͡ʒ/ is still close.
