You're being a bit uncharitable. Even though I haven't spent a huge amount of time on Arc, there's more to it than just hype. I know Common Lisp and Scheme really well, and I would much rather program in Arc than either of those. Now that I'm used to Arc, I find writing code in CL or Scheme painfully clumsy.

And though language design (as opposed to implementation) may not seem "substantial," it does matter. Scheme itself was initially an exercise in language design-- a cleaning up of MacLisp. It didn't only become "substantial" when people started writing complicated compilers for it.
PHP suit "experienced programmers"?

In a way this means nothing: experienced programmer can program in any language.

In another way it is wrong: experienced programmer know how so well that building a solid application on rotten grounds is a pain, and would prefer a more solid ground to build their application upon.

Do I need to list again all the mess in PHP?
Have you looked at http://www.markupwand.com? It's more of an "auto-magic" service, but it's worth checking out.
nice! We thought about displaying profit from downloads * price but we found that for most of the big apps, they tweak around prices constantly so the profit would vary too much based on when you poll their prices.

except youtube is biased against the claimee and the system favours the claimer.

The most likely reason would be because otherwise, the claimer's lobby groups could put pressure on youtube to do more than it currently does (say, they can no longer claim safe habour under DMCA). The claimee are the little guys, and they while large in numbgers, have little to no power in affecting youtube's policy.

So its all down to money and economics. Therefore, a reasonable way to force youtube's hand is to make a big deal out of it, get as many people involved so that youtube feels more threatened by the actions of these small time remixers.

As far as I know it's common knowledge that both Nokia (on their Asha-series) and Opera Mini uses a proxy server to compress the data.

From Opera Mini's wikipage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini):
"Unlike straightforward web browsers, Opera Mini fetches all content through a proxy server and reformats web pages into a format more suitable for small screens."

And on Nokia developer's home page (http://www.developer.nokia.com/Develop/Series_40/Nokia_Brows...):
"The Nokia Xpress Browser comprises a client and a cloud-based proxy service. When a user requests a web page the proxy reads the page, processes CSS and JavaScript code, and compresses its content, which is then delivered to the client for display on the user's phone."

You'll notice that the page doesn't say: "We route your banking and other sensitive personal information through our servers and are at liberty to inspect any financial transactions conducted through this phone, this process works similarly to the great firewall of China."

Many services use proxies to speed up connections, few do it with SSL, and even fewer forge their own certs.

> Of course, neither should automatically be getting revenue, fair use and all.

that's not true - the author of the work should get revenue should they decide to (but only if they decide to). Lionsgate is not the author of the work. Some components of the work are from the copyrighted works owned by lionsgate, but that is due to fair use, and thus lionsgate has no claim on the copyright of the remix containing some of their stuff.

Fair use does not mean no revenue (nor does revenue even come into the argument!).

And about 250 candles (not exaggerating). There is nothing "natural" about that. Normal humans use maybe 10 candles in a room that size, the camera needed way more.

I never understood what made candles so much better than electric lights with a color filter for that scene. The number of candles made it completely unnatural.
A lot of other things can be an obstacle to relocating: wanting to have family close by, having put roots into a community you love. There are definitely tradeoffs to owning a home, but I've decided for me there's more upside than down.

I'm around halfway through the mortgage on my place and relish the thought that once it's paid, even if I eventually find myself between a rock and a financial hard place I'll have four walls and a roof and no obligation to anyone for them. I'll have a good 30 years (give or take) of earning potential left in me by that point which means I'll have plenty of disposable income on top of what I've been squirreling away all along for a retirement. Yeah, I've had to fix leaky pipes (and cursed the time spent doing it) but overall I find comfort in the thought that if current trends continue, I'll have a place to park FOREVER.
> You'll notice that the page doesn't say: "We route your banking and other sensitive personal information through our servers and are at liberty to inspect any financial transactions conducted through this phone

It says "When a user requests a web page the proxy reads the page ... which is then delivered to the client for display on the user's phone."

So if your "banking and other sensitive personal information" is a web page, then it does indeed say that.
If you've designed an icon, you most likely have software capable of this installed already.

Likewise - we had a big meeting yesterday with an important customer, and my cofounder ended up taking much of it alone because this couldn't wait. I actually found out about this a little bit prior to it being publicly announced, so luckily had a little bit of lead time, but it was a 'showstopper' for us nonetheless, especially as a website security company. ;)

Also, if anyone wants help or explanation on the vulnerability (though there are plenty of posts that do a great job), I'd be happy to chat about it - feel free to email me whenever at borski@tinfoilsecurity.com
Based on the headline alone I thought this was going be some sort of attack on a local device where the scammer app would go through screenshots you have taken and then display them tricking you into believing you were running the app the screenshot was of.

Nope. Doesn't work that way. Don't get me wrong, I think merchant processing fees are outrageously high, and that merchants should be allowed to add a few percent for payment with credit cards, in order to encourage cash/debit card payment.

Australia limited interchange fees around 2003 (cut them in half), and as would be expected, merchants did not lower prices.

"Interchange fees are paid by the merchant, and there have been studies
done in Australia that said that consumers have not saved a penny by lowering interchange rates — that the merchants have not reduced prices at all."
Well maybe not so tongue in cheek. You see, I have lived in US for more than a decade and noticed there is a disproportionate number of Randian type libertarians here. Mostly are just college kids who read Atlas Shrugged and now they want government to get out of their business.

This is the immaturity and fantasy world that I was referring above. For all intended purpose, a place where FDA, SEC, tax authority (IRS) don't exist and are out of people "hair" exist -- many of those places are pretty scary to live in, Somalia is one of them, other poor countries are also there. You'd think those would be a libertarian paradise, no controls, no need to pay taxes, but reality the opposite is true.
I agree with blocking ads because so many of them have just got so damn intrusive lately, to the point where if your mouse pointer ends up over the wrong part of the screen it takes over the whole screen, and the other ones that really annoy me are the ones that have sound and automatically play. To that end i believe blocking ads can be the solution until sites stop using such intrusive ads. The intrusive ads are also more likely to make me despise the product being advertised instead of wanting to buy it so there is no advantage a lot of the time having the ads enabled
If part of the rendering engine runs in their servers and not in the phone, there's no chance of keeping the end-to-end encryption. Their servers need to decrypt the traffic to render it and then (hopefully!) re-encrypt it to safely deliver it to the phone. This is exactly the same as with Opera Mini and Amazon Silk.

I get your point, but being easy to pick up AND easy to make dangerous mistakes is a bad combination. The goal isn't necessarily to "weed out the stupids", but rather to prevent bad practices from propagating. "Too easy", in my view, means having a rotary saw with no guard and a hair trigger.
So many people missing the point of the gay analogy in this thread and once again, at the mere hint of the concept of privilege, people race to get defensive and shut their ears before even understanding the issue at play; further showing that people continue to have knee-jerk reactions to the phrase "privilege" just as some think that "feminism" = "hates men" instead of "wants gender equality".

To explain further, there's two issues:

1. That my sexuality is a topic that I constantly have to correct people on. It hurts because of internalized homophobia from two decades of growing up in the Midwest. It hurts because it's a constant reminder that I'm a minority and that people make incorrect assumptions about me. It hurts because it's annoying. I had a friend that would introduce me as "DriveBy, my gay friend". That's the sort of feeling I get when I have to stop and say "No, I'm gay". Hell, I even have some awkward feeling when it's someone I suspect is homophobic because I don't want to make them uneasy.

2. When I correct people on my sexuality, I've challenged their assumptions. I've changed their perspective and reminded them that not everyone is straight, even the people that "oh my god, I never would have guessed". This isn't about "shoving sexuality in peoples' faces". It's not about evangelizing LGBT issues every day just to force it.
Taxes are part of the package deal. You get some things back for them. The package deal (the contract if you will) in theory is voluntary. You are free to get your ocean liner and set sail into the international waters where you don't have to pay anyone anything.
by the open admission of sexuality

I agree with you; "partner" has an unusual feel in conversation, and I'm never sure what to make of it. I think for some folks this is a sore spot--that the phrase "wife", spoken by a man, is also an open admission of sexuality--so why can't we have a word like that, dammit? We're looking for a language which lets us express an integral part of our lives in a way which is normal to other people.

In "Covering", Kenji Yoshino talks about the strange dance that LGBT people go through. You continually gauge the situation--sometimes overtly, sometimes subconsciously. "Is it worth it?" "Can I give my boyfriend a hug at this service station?" "Should we just break down and get separate beds at the hotel? It'll be easier." "Have we told his Aunt yet, or are am I just a friend in town for Thanksgiving?"

In San Francisco, at least for me, this tension is practically absent--but in rural Minnesota and Wisconsin, it was a very real part of my life. Things are changing quick, though. :)

wut?

Tribes have specialized warriors, and also would raid other tribes for loot and spoils of war which included slaves. This didn't need the creation of Kingdoms to achieve this. Man will come up with this at the proto-civ stage because other humans beings are the best tools.

You also are drawing some sort of line of intent, that hunter gatherers knew to move towards agriculture, AFAIK the data on how the transition occurred is spotty and is still being debated.

EVEN then, from tribal structures and from studying nomadis/hunter gatherers its clear that "men did work for others", at the very least for the good of the tribe, and often because the village headsman would be able to mobilize people to work on mutually beneficial tasks like say, a granary, or even a juju enhancing spirit walk.

Bulk food also is something of a recent phenomenon, if you look at the chart of human population growth its balooned since around 1950, and before that the total human population of the world was nearly a billion people.

And thats with the invention of the plough, harness, irrigation and so on.

While agriculture was massively advantageous compared to whatever we had before, it wasn't without its own pitfalls - such as famines, droughts, pests, bad crops and so on.

Finally your last para is at odds with the entire ethos of the USA for a large portion of its existence, that you could get somewhere with merit. Matter of fact its only in the recent past that this has stopped being true.
I cannot understand why leasing (or renting) can be considered superior to owning your own place. Sure it does prevent you from just moving on a whim - something i don't think people should be doing anyhow - but the money paid as rent is like throwing it into the sea!
As we should have learnt from the audiophile business, unless you are doing a blind study, people will write all kinds of BS about their impressions that tells you nothing about whether they really are able to perceive difference and whether the impression itself is positive or do they just like the feeling of trying something new.

The author isn't making a point about ignorance. Everyone wants to act like he's blaming the cabby and he's not. As someone who is constantly in this situation, it's tiring. It's a reminder of how many people treat me as a gay man first rather than a software developer.

It's the same problem with the people that say "Oh, women at conferences should be flattered by the attention". They want to be seen as equal. I want to be seen as equal. Having to stop and explain, "No, I don't have a wife" is a reminder of the fact that most of our society still walks around assuming every stranger is straight.
Another alternative is to do the search on the client. This is the approach taken by the Sphinx documentation tool which generates static pages. It is popular with (but not limited to) Python. See http://sphinx-doc.org/ In the bottom right of that page you can see a search box. "Exception" is an example search to try.

The way it works is that doc build time it generates a index file that contains various terms, performs stemming, stop word elimination etc. When you do a search the client javascript downloads the index, performs stemming on the search terms and does the lookup in the index. This is what the index looks like for that site in JSONP format http://sphinx-doc.org/searchindex.js

Because the cab driver isn't going to say "Oh, you have kids? I bet you hate dressing up as robotic ninjas" forcing you to have to correct them and explain that, no, you don't fit his presumptions. It's not the cab drivers fault necessarily, people are socialized to expect that other people are straight, often because many people hide it.

Hence the circle. By pointing out that I'm gay, when NO ONE (literally, I mean no one, most people don't believe me) expects it, I break that assumption and cause that person to second guess that assumption in the future.

"it might be worth familiarizing yourself with the kind of behavior that is accepted and expected here."

True, you didn't explicitly say it, but your words did imply it. While we're being pedantic, I didn't say you said so either, I just said you said a permutation of it, which you did.

"I can only guess by your comments, but it would seem you're not very happy in the Netherlands?"

Oh I'm mostly happy right now, and the Netherlands is one of the best countries for me to live in right now. But just because I'm fairly content with something doesn't mean that I can't identify any faults with it - actually, I could name a whole list of things I dislike about the Netherlands and Dutch culture in general, yet I still choose to stay here (I guess relevant: while Belgian by nationality, I have a Dutch wife, was born from a Dutch mother and Belgian father and have lived in the Netherlands for 10+ years. I basically asymptotically approach being 'real' Dutch, so to speak, and I could list just as many things I dislike about Belgium as I could about the Netherlands - more, actually, hence me living where I do).

It's not about education; it's about risk and the willingness to face it.

By responding to, "How's your wife?" with "My husband's fine," he's admitting homosexuality to a potential homophobe. You could lie and say, "She's fine," and that'd be that. You could be neutral and say, "Fine," but that just postpones it. And for some people, they're aware that's a deliberate skirting of the issue and is basically a lie by omission. That atrophies the very muscle the author wanted to discuss. You might find it acceptable, but it's clear that the author does not.

I believe the supreme court of Iowa recently ruled that an employer (a dentist I believe) was not wrong to fire an female employee to whom he found himself irresistably sexually attracted. According to court docs, his wife wanted her fired and he did so. [0]

Dentist had made some pretty dumb comments that could probably count as a hostile work environment but he wasn't liable for wrongful termination. Obviously doesn't apply anywhere but Iowa but interesting nonetheless.
