I agree somewhat with btip. The UI features of Java were not only ugly, but, until 6.0, slow. This is one of the reasons Eclipse uses SWT rather than native Swing.

6 brought with it a much faster UI experience. Unfortunately that happened after the transition of apps from the desktop to the web. So you had slow applet downloads vs Flash on the client. You also had compatibility issues that were more involved than Flash.

Finally, other cross platform frame works like Qt came along. Now you'd get closer native appearance with languages other than Java.

As a result of the confluence of events and changes Java became relegated to server or phone side.
My Friends all thought I was crazy when I invited them to drive from Alaska -> Argentina with me.

The choice was clear, go alone, or don't go at all.

I had a life changing two year adventure.

I'm just the opposite. As I get older I want to hang out with friends less, as I have less time anyways so the time I do have becomes more precious. I enjoy my do-nothing Saturdays. I enjoy my coffee-and-coding Saturdays. I also enjoy the hanging out with friends Saturdays, just not every single Saturday like when I was younger.
Kind of surprised there is not a single word about AES-NI in there.

Both Intel and AMD now support it in modern server cpus.

You want to be using aes128-cbc to take advantage of it.

Amazon episode 'purchases' now with ads
Looks like shows you 'buy' off Amazon are now coming with ads. People seem pretty upset.

On the upside, Archer.
I don't understand how concealment comes into play. I no more conceal my gender on SO than I conceal my preference for cats or dogs, political stance, or my alcoholism. That is, those things are not mentioned because they are not relevant and don't even consider bringing them up, not because I am concealing anything.
The tube experience is probably fairly consistent, just that it costs more (except in the cases of delays and closures) so rating the bicycle trip is really the most important thing here. Perhaps "flip a coin" with probabilities proportional to the needle's position when it's on the side of the tube and take the bicycle a bit more often to see how terrible it actually is.
I am interested in the way you used your project to get possible job offers. Did it work? Please let me know, that way I can follow suit.
It has the added benefit of no one getting upset in case you have to change your plans. You were just inviting them to join you, versus you agreed to meet up together and then flaked out. Most people in my experience treat those two identical situations differently.

If we follow this thought, certainly everyone in this world is unhappy. People are bonded.
So, next question is how much malware is hanging around for those printers? Are all / mostly / some / none compromised?
"Prosecutors will always wield a great deal of power in the American criminal system; but before a defendant agrees to plead guilty, he ought to know whether the state holds four aces or a busted flush."

I am not a lawyer, so I'm shocked to learn that you can plead guilty to a crime without the opportunity to review all of the evidence against you.

The comments issue was a tough decision. In the end, I wanted to keep everything on the card itself and do my best to reduce or eliminate/reduce modal windows and drop down menus (I have some but they are few and far between).

I'm actually a fan of Trello myself and use it for some projects--I'm sure Trello will be around for a long time. I am actually ramping up work on ThetaBoard this year (it's been nights and weekends for the couple years) so there is no danger of it going away any time soon. And I'll work on my terms & conditions!
HN and reddit are really social curating dashboards with a commenting system. both are better than self-described curating sites like storify.

a major problem is the overwhelming flow of links from the entire internet because of the third-party content structure.

exploration platforms like stumbleupon send garbage traffic, so that's not the answer, either. you don't want traffic for traffic's sake, you want real people that read and contribute.

news is a special species of information:

1) all "open" information in the sense that it is intended for the general community.
2) it is time-sensitive
3) it is geographically relevant

the current internet is structured for historical or aged-content. that's why you see all of the indexing of third-party content instead of an integrated platform that standardizes the news format and can personalize content for anyone around the world.

you have to look at the production side of the equation, not just the product, if you want to solve the news problem. considering that all of the VCs have given up and the legacy publishing institutions are approaching the problem from the perspective of adapting their structure, no one you know of is actually working on the news problem.

it's a multi-billion market opportunity with very little competition. the potential financial gains are exciting, but at the end of the day ( and the beginning), everyone wants an information edge. I want the information edge!

i've got years invested in the problem and a public beta platform to iterate up from. it will be obvious in hindsight!

:)
Should we now all print documents to those printers with warnings saying that they are publicly accessible?
But cache control private allows them to be cached on a client machines.
That's a very fascinating link. Are the claims made here true, that these charts are true to the 1980 definition of inflation? Are there any other factors that could make what is in these charts incorrect or misrepresented? I'm not from the US and don't have a first-hand impression of US price development.

It seems unlikely to me that the US has really had >7% yearly inflation for well over a decade. So what gives? The most compelling counterargument is simply that the charts in your link don't reflect reality.

The "satisfaction %" heart graphic made me chuckle. The 1.4% growth from 2010 to 2011 doesn't seem like a big change in heart size, but the 0.8% between 2011 and 2012 - that deserves a huge heart.

Even when produced by trustworthy sources like SO, statistics can mess with your brain.
I dislike abbreviations for this exact reason. Both your and the above responses are different. Clearly it's not well known abbreviation.
Seems to me that you'd have to follow a budget for this to even be possible, and if you're following a budget you could have a spreadsheet give you the same kind of results.

I'm probably overlooking something, though.
Attn: HN "editors" or whatever the hell you call yourself.

That's not true. Even during the boom, many people who got engineering degrees at second and third tier schools couldn't find jobs as engineers.

Worse than printing somewhere remote, many of those are probably also scanners. If the original is left on the glass (I forget it all the time), an attacker could scan it remotely.
The unfortunate reality of global business is that those components will simply end up in other devices. The companies which sell the devices will just try harder to hide it from the consumer.

The pressure needs to be put not so much on Apple, as on the industry... or the practices continue pretty much unabated.

Developing Linguistic Corpora: a Guide to Good Practice
I did a similar analysis several years ago. The two fastest solutions that didn't involve writing lower-level code aren't mentioned: A specialized program targeted at the insurance industry called Emblem and Stata. If I recall, they ran as fast on a single system as RevoScale does on a cluster. Of course, comparing different benchmarks is fraught with peril.

The SAS performance reported is surprisingly bad and likely is a result of the data processing steps involved. A SAS procedure is much more similar to a program than a function. While SAS wasn't the fastest solution, most of its slowness was due to building the design matrix rather than running the actual regression. There are a number of options for both tuning how this is done and caching this preprocessing. The biggest different would be using SSD's on the machine which seems unlikely given the results.
Either that or freak people out by printing messages from ghosts stuck in their printer.
I'm the opposite. I can eat at a nice restaurant alone and enjoy my thoughts and not think twice about it. When I see someone else eating alone, my heart breaks and I contemplate asking them if they would like company.
I eat breakfast and lunch alone about a lot of the time. I love it. I enjoy eating with company if we are there for a more leisure lunch and can enjoy the time. While working though I generally don't like eating with anyone because most of the time people just end up venting about their job.

The one little break I have during lunch I don't want to be talking about work. I want to enjoy where I'm eating or more often than not I go eat my lunch at the beach or a park in between clients and might listen to music or a podcast.

When I do go to restaurants alone even if it's a nice place I will sit at the bar. I like to make small talk with those people if it is not busy.

Along with eating I go surf, golf, and skate alone a lot of times. However, with all these things I generally end up meeting and talking with people. Sometimes I don't though and it's nice just to focus on the activity and just enjoy that.

It's nice when people will come eat, surf, golf, etc. with me. However, given time constraints I don't let people not coming with me a lot of times get in between me going and enjoying a place or activity if it's something I want to do and that's the time in my schedule that permits me the time to go do that thing.
I cannot even begin to tell you how often I experience this. It's fascinating how clearly drawn leadership and followship (is that a word?) are now that we live in the digital world.

As someone else mentioned, motivation is contagious.
Dwolla extends Guest Send API, introduces multi-facilitator feature
I'm very late to this part of the discussion... but I just realized that I should object to the use of "sharing" as a way of describing a site like airbnb.

I'm a little irritated with myself, because I actually referred to it as a sharing site in an earlier comment.

While there can be some ambiguity around the word "sharing", this one is not a tough call. Airbnb is a commerce site, it absolutely is not a sharing site.

Ninite is by far my preferred way to get java. No crapware, and with pro you can turn off the auto-updates.

When living in Paris, I wanted to attend many concerts but oftentimes I ended up not going because I couldn't find anyone to come with me.

Looking at the many concerts I missed because of that, I decided to automatically buy 2 tickets for each event and ask my friends afterwards, stating that I had an extra ticket. I ended up attending many concerts with one of my friends, and rarely had to sell my extra ticket.

On a side note, two years ago, a group of friends invited me to join them for a 10-days trip in Turkey. They would fly directly from Paris to Istanbul. I lived in Bordeaux then and figured: why don't I go to Istanbul by train on my own? It took me 2 weeks to get there, and along the road I stopped at Milan, Florence, Venice, Ljubljana, Zagreb and Belgrade (plus Munich, Vienna, Budapest, Krakow and Berlin on my way back).

I knew that noone would have agreed to come with me and I immediately felt that I had taken the right decision. It was a sudden one but I don't regret it. I met wonderful people and visited beautiful places, and I realize that depending on someone else's decision would have prevented me from doing these things.

To accept something less than potential is a cop-out.

Solutions materialize, but it's never an all-at-once event. Printers evolved substantially from Gutenberg's such that we have personal high-volume color laserjets sitting near us with WiFi connections and AES encryption.
Lua implementation of Aho-Corasick string matching algorithm
It is indeed a semantic battle. But as for semantics: sorry, that's just wrong. A switch connects the same network transparently. A device doesn't need to know that there is a switch in place to find, say, 8.8.8.8. It just ARPs for the destination address and sends the packet. If you are connected to a wifi router, you must send a packet destined for 8.8.8.8 to the router, because it is your gateway.

Companies and their personalities
You're using a marketing definition for router, apparently meaning a (presumably expensive) rack-mounted piece of IT equipment. But traditionally "router" has been a technical term, and your wifi hardware absolutely meets the requirements.
We have that startup :)

"It's understood that people who don't have enough social connections, they have as high a rate of mortality and morbidity as a pack a day smoker."

How is it understood? I've seen things here and there about an active social life in old age being a key contributor to longevity, but are there any studies indeed showing that the health risk of being a loner (for all of one's life, or for some part of it) is equal to that of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day?

It's looking less and less senseless every day, in part due to Musk and his team.

By your definition basically all computer security is security through obscurity. After all, crypto keys are really just obscure numbers that could be guessed.

The only exception would be an air gapped network. But wait, what if someone figured out the passcodes and physical keys to enter the building?!
In other words:

An occasional dictator is not bad. They are legitimate as long as they rule "by the consent of the governed". Sometimes you just need a Cincinnatus to get things done. I wouldn't generally recommend a hereditary monarchy though :)

I think Upton Sinclair said "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"

Everybody loved the real estate bubble. We were all going to be rich forever and not have to do any work.

I think even if the President (regardless of party) had tried to stop the bubble, he would have been laughed out of office.
The Super-Secret NDA For Google's Project Glass Dev Events Next Week
As someone who is completely ignorant of investment strategies, would anyone explain how to make a fortune off of an impending financial collapse (when you predict the timing perfectly)? That sounds very interesting.
Since consumers have no visibility into the problem nor ability to solve the problem, I disagree that it starts with them (but it needs to get to them eventually).

Apple wields a very large, very concentrated number of dollars, which may be enough to get the ball rolling. Other higher-end electronics companies may decide that, for marketing reasons, they will only work with "Apple approved" vendors or may decide the positive press is worth approving their own.

It will be some time before the fifty-cent, crap electronics are reached, but you have to start somewhere.
Transparency is key and the structural goal of a news platform should be building trust corporately and incentivizing individuals to build TRUST...not karma.
I think I'm kind of a loner. I have zero problems doing things alone.

Most things (esp trips, hiking, biking) I want to do alone. I need alone time. Time away from all the hassles and pressures of "socialness". Time to be selfish. To pause when others might want to go, to go when others might want to pause.

Also, early in life I got real tired of being let down / of the unreliability of people. So, instead of repeating the same activity and expecting a different outcome I quit trying or wanting to participate in planned group activities.
Sure, I was being facetious. Even with actions that are simple to execute, I'm somewhat skeptical that a black box with a single recommendation is the best answer. I think that presenting the analysis as "do this, and here is why" would be a nice alternative for more complex systems--frequently dashboards and such throw data at you and completely punt on helping you interpret it.
This seems to miss the point of the study. (At least as portrayed by the article.)

The hypothesis was that more impulsive and easily distracted people were more likely to use a phone while driving. And that such folk would then claim to be better at multitasking to rationalize their behavior. The experiment was to test the first part of this.
AT&T to Buy Verizon Spectrum to Meet Wireless Demand
I think that friends always bailing on you is a sign that you are boring. Reading this article reminded me of this quote from Anne Lamott:

"There are certain people whose company you love, whose mind you love to pick, whose running commentary totally holds your attention, who makes you laugh out loud.
When you have a friend like this, she can say: “Hey, I’ve got to drive up to the dump in Petaluma—wanna come along?” and you honestly can’t think of anything in the world you’d rather do. By the same token, a boring or annoying person can offer to buy you an expensive dinner, followed by tickets to a great show, and in all honesty you’d rather stay home and watch the Jello harden."
I cannot express how angry reading comments like this makes me. Clearly many of these guys at the top (bank CEO's, fund managers, ect.) were systematically defrauding everyone in order to turn a larger profit. Call me naive, but isn't this shit (the massive fraud perpetrated on us by banks) supposed to result in hefty jail sentences?
For the first 10 months of 2012 I planned a trip to Thailand, taking time off contracting. I too became fed up of mates not being able to come with me so in the end thought fuck it, I'll go on my own. The day I posted my plans my mate got in touch and said he'd come with me for 3 weeks.

Those 3 weeks we basically argued like a married couple, there were good times, obviously, but we are both very different people. Anyway, as soon as he left me in Cambodia, the trip turned into one of the best experiences of my life.

I went where I wanted, I did what I wanted. I had crazy nights out and the trip was an adventure. I went to see my friend in Koh Phangan and stayed at his dive shop for a few weeks for free. I made friends with the locals and regularly got invited out with everyone. I had 2 of the most unbelievable experiences of my life partying in Haad Riin. I ended up with a girlfriend for 3 months whilst I was there. I met up with an old friend in Malaysia and stayed with her for free in a 5 star hotel for a week - she was on business and got a twin room for me. I met a girl in Bangkok who ended up driving me around the city in her Range Rover and taking me out to clubs. One day I decided to rent a motocross bike and rode it 35km up to the top of Bokor mountain in Cambodia - an amazing experience, more so on the way back down.

All of these things happened when I was on my own. Once I left my friend, I could do exactly what I wanted. There were times when it was hard, e.g. going to clubs on your own, or places where everybody is in a group, but in the end it paid off. Now I'm the guy who just does what he wants. This year I'll go away again to maybe South Korea or the Philippines; I haven't even considered asking someone to go with me.

So yeh, don't be that guy stressing about not having anyone to go places with, fuck it, go on your own.
I'm glad you're taking the feedback so well. yeah, i keep sensitive data in my trello (i know...) so something about the data, how it's stored, and security would be nice to have. good luck dclaysmith
Is NAT not a routing protocol? It certainly seems so to me -- you dynamically change your packet destinations, error behavior, and even their contents based on dynamic state detected from the network.

But yes, you mean OSPF et. al. Yes, you can certainly run those on a wifi router (they don't from the factory, so reflash with dd-wrt or whatever). Machines much less powerful were doing dynamic routing using these protocols 20 years ago.
It's no much that ignorance is rewarded, as that spreading information is punished.
