I concur that doing this directly in your code is extremely ugly; but note that you can get this speedup by just dropping in a call to glibc's memchr(), hiding the ugliness behind a well-known interface.

Dumbest comment on HN, ever. Really, what were you thinking?
Exactly! I finished the app in about 8 weeks, but dint read thru the guidelines and had to rework the major portions from scratch again and took me another few weeks to get it completely done. Not paying attention to apple guidelines cost me dearly.
Please, this has been rehashed hundreds of times here already: Just because they decide to be nice and have their network open by default to anyone does not mean they can't revoke someones authorization and kick him out if he does not behave well on their network.

Changing a MAC address by itself is not illegal. Doing so in order to gain access to a network which he is no longer authorized to access is. He was in an arms race, circumventing ever stronger countermeasures against him. He went much further than changing his MAC address, and he was obviously aware of the fact that he was no longer welcome.

Even worse: VAT is not the same depending on what you sell:

Foodstuff in general has lower VAT (7%) in germany, but that lower tax rate includes also hotel bills, but not the breakfast which is taxed at the regular 19%, taxi bills are reduced, etc. It's a mess. When you sell services in the EU and the service is rendered in another EU country and for a company with a valid Tax ID you don't have to pay VAT, which includes Switzerland (although they're not EU) and so on.
Meant to say that I have had enough of this situation.

But it's all a balancing act. If you vote for a system where disproportionate penalties are possible, and the incentive to use it as leverage to secure convictions is built into the system, don't be surprised of the consequences: it's perfectly predictable. Remove disproportionate sentences and mandatory minimums, and prosecutes won't be able to exert the same pressure.
Definitely going. Living across the street!

Bravo! From the other comments, I guess you are going against the 'common sense' of vim users, but actually hjml has been the reason I never bothered with vim.

This is a nice article. There's a problem with a lot of science reporting that people just report the controversy. Most people cannot assess a scientific paper (if the article bothers to link to the actual research) and so it'd be great if media could do a breakdown - "suitable sample?" "randomised?" "controlled?" "peer reviewed?".

Was anyone ever really under the impression that Soundcloud was immune to this kind of ripping?

The DJs/producers I know who put their mixes on Soundcloud do it for the exposure and to possibly get some sales out of it from fans. It's generally accepted that some people just won't pay, and there's nothing that can really be done about that.
I'm story you had a bad experience but it is the normal for people to have a good experience with the NHS. Patient surveys rate it very highly.
Yes, thank you, I read the article.

Again, an increase in cosmic ray levels striking the Earth is only one possible cause for the observations.

Oddly enough, while no expert in the field, I did spend a decade working with high resolution radiometric and magnetic survey equipment measuring the global magnetic field, local and diurnal variations, ground radiation and performing numerous high altitude stacks to plot the falloff of cosmic ray intensities through the atmosphere. This was performed in both hemispheres and near both poles and totalled several million line kilometres. Writing the software to process all that data gave me a little insight into the issues and the opportunity to work with people that had spent their careers in the field.

What the spikes tell us is that there was minor increase in isotope production, most probably in the upper atmosphere.

Clearly this could be driven by either an increase in raw material in the upper atmosphere (equatorial volcanic explosion is one possibility), or an increase in cosmic ray levels within the atmosphere (variations in the global magnetic field lines could account for that) OR an increase in the amount of external cosmic rays (which brings us to the guesswork being expounded in the article you so kindly quoted).

One thing I would add - I noticed a few clumsy typos in the slides and in the title of this very post. Please do proof-read your copy before you publish for your app. It probably doesn't matter as much here, but I think you can ruin your carefully designed professional impression with just one or two misspelt words.

This is totally wrong. Different languages have different levels of power. Sure, you could always write an interpreter but that's exactly the difference between a power language vs. a weak one: to do X will I need to write a whole interpreter here or can the language just do it?

Lisp is so powerful because you can do things like delayed evaluation of arguments, via macros. With Haskell you don't even need this due to the lazy evaluation.

How much of that can we ascribe to turnover though?

Is it people who go into surgery care less? Or only people who care less can handle a career in surgery, where you typically have no bond to the patient, see many more people die (potentially due your own limitations or outright mistakes) and even when they live, you may see them for a follow-up exam or two, but not really ever again?

This was my thought when I first tried learning Vim, but I quickly realized that my right-hand home row position for roguelikes is one key too far to the left, meaning that I either had to unlearn those years of DCSS or else teach myself how to type all over again.

It is a big deal, actually.

Have you ever set up payment processing in the US? Did you get it going in a matter of minutes and not days? Because I have, and I can clearly say that any of the solutions presented in the post as well as the one you point out (and with a tone, as if everyone just had to know about this MerchantWarehouse you speak of) require a lot more work. I'm okay with work, just not okay with jumping through hoops that are unnecessary elsewhere.
That would be cool. The basic info might be enough. The thing about the previous guy who tried something like this which was posted above is, he was mostly sorting by the words in the title which seems like only a very weak predictor. Better would be the number of comments and votes, and maybe other stuff like how long the article is or whether or not certain words are in the comments. He also trained it on whether he thought it sounded interesting, not after reading the article and determining if it actually was.
Strange title. It made me think Eric Schmidt had a daughter in North Korea, which would have been weird indeed!

Myspace Is Accused of Using Music Without Permission
See my reaction to Condon's story here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykosner/2013/01/21/faceboo... As he suggests, “The only way to prevent re-posted content is to unlike everything.” And as Facebook continues to abuse the Like function, or to allow (or at least be unable to prevent) third-parties from abusing it, many users may find themselves doing just that, or ditching Facebook altogether.
Compared to the amount of optimisation that many people typically do (i.e. zero or close to zero), it was a large amount of extra work to get that performance boost. The global re-arrangements of the way data flows through the code are more difficult than many micro-optimisations, not less, so I don't understand how you can claim.

And you don't have to be an expert in C to make the claim he is making, because most people are not experts in C, but might turn to it because "it's faster". It's precisely this kind of person who needs to understand that with their level of knowledge, and the amount of effort that they might put into optimisations, Haskell can be just as good or better.
Yes. Racket has a great intro-page and download links etc. No BS.

It's not quite how it works.

In fact, I've seen it with my own eyes. The patient surveys are issued by the hospitals. I've actually seen nurses deciding not to issue survey forms to patients that they have pissed off or treated badly.

Not only that, my immediate family have been to hospitals (3 different trusts, 5 hospitals) 121 times (we have some persistent complicated medical problems) and not one visit has been consistent, on time, complete and they have put us at extreme risk on 18 separate occasions. We've had medical record mix ups, wrong procedures booked and even on one surgical appointment, they got my blood type completely wrong to the point if they'd had to transfuse, I wouldn't be here to whinge about it now.

I have received 5 separate apology letters from the director of medicine in one London hospital due to fuck ups.

It barely works.

As a side point, I've worked for the NHS on contract a couple of times and it's an utter mess from a management perspective as well. Money spills out of holes like water and little is delivered.

I plan to implement votes (maybe), domain, actual raw text of the article, title, submitter (maybe) and show articles that are deemed "important" (i.e. have stayed on the front page for longer than X hours), as well as some random ones, to avoid a bubble. Plus, I've already started training the filter manually, I'll maybe write a simple web UI later on so I can up/downvote articles from there.

I think that should give a good first draft.

The honest answer is that I dint know what I was doing when I began and Photoshop was the only software I had and I remembered seeing people designing stuff with Photoshop and so I stuck. I still haven't used Illustrator. I ve heard Illustrator is good for creating vector graphics and Photoshop is great for UI design. But please do get a professional opinion.

I've had considerably more experience than most people of the NHS over the past 6 years.

I've accompanied a patient to different GPs within a surgery, to at least ten different hospitals, both A&E units and wards. I've visited some mental health hospitals on top of that.

A couple of these were private. The rest were NHS. (One of the private MH hospitals was significantly abusive, probably illegal.)

I have seen some shocking patient care from all levels of staff; HCAs through nurses through FY1s, FY2s, registrars and consultants. The NHS complaints process is sub-optimal and doesn't appear to do much to actually prevent problems happening in future.

But I have also met many more staff who care deeply about their patients and who do their best within the constraints.

Please don't make the mistake of accusing most people in the NHS of doing a poor job of caring when that's just not true.
I disagree. Have you read any articles on stream fusion in Haskell? You can tell the compiler that certain actions are equivalent and suddenly some code that makes two passes down a tree makes just one pass. Doing the same thing in C would be a lot more work precisely because you're working at such a low level.

Personally i would suggest neither.

At it's heart, photoshop is a bitmap editor it's original purpose was for manipulating photos various tools have been added with new versions that make it more useful for web design.

Illustrator is a vector-based app for creating free-drawn illustrations. Again newer versions have added things like pixel snapping to make it okay for web design (but its better suited for logos, visualization etc).

My preference is Fireworks. It's got great exporting tools and I find it a lot faster than working in Photoshop (for web/mobile work).

Remember also that design involves a lot of iteration. If you're concerned with efficiency, please get comfortable expressing your ideas with pen and paper - it's the fastest option :)
