It's sad that a law like this is needed at all. It seems like a matter of common decency to remove data about someone upon request.

People that are willing to fight a trade war (whatever that is supposed to mean) over this are so far removed in their worldview from my own that it's actually quite shocking.

While we're at it I'd really appreciate if my bank data wouldn't be shipped off to the US.

I love the application. The thing I love most is your "license".

I thought to distribute some app in the same way too: "can you build it? It's free if you don't want to pay for it."
I remember a time when java applets were cool. I don't think it's a bad idea entirely, just dated, and eclipsed by other technologies.
you're right, but e.g. to open a file without knowing the exact name you have to type :e ftp://[user]@hostname/path/ and then select the directory and file, which is a lot slower and more complicated than the traditional way of opening files.
The only registrar I will tell anybody about anymore is Gandi (gandi.net). For ~$15USD you get the domain, private registration and an SSL cert for a year. I don't like some of what Namecheap has done in the past and I've had nothing but stellar service from Gandi.

Are these applications really bundled by Microsoft or are they pre-installed [1] by OEMs that sell Win8 with their hardware?

Microsoft FUD. HP doesn't have any opinions of its own. If it was sponsored or conducted by Microsoft, why do we even bother ? That company is still hallucinating, pretending its still in a Windows world
Assuming a perfect sphere in a vacuum (pun? what pun?), the ball would deform perfectly by squishing in the direction of travel and expanding in all directions perpendicular to the direction of travel. The intersection of this shape with a plane is still circular.

Now, assume our perfect sphere is a ping pong ball, with a seam and variations in density along its surface. Further assume that our plane is made of wood with a variety of strengths, weaknesses and densities along its volume. And that said plane is also covered in a rough surface. The changes that these variations impart on the actual experiment leave a hole blasted in the paddle that's not perfect in anyway (see all those jagged edges?) But I believe it's safe to say that, with all these imperfections in all these materials, the circle is not a "perfectly ping-pong ball shaped hole," and certainly more difficult to measure than a perfect sphere slamming into a perfect plane.
That actual page isn't using it, is it? Is there a demo up somewhere? I had to clone it to take a look.

Nice and simple - it's hard to judge behaviour without seeing a bit of content or blocks, or something. Suggest you add a little more to the example (eg http://960.gs/demo.html).

It's good to have light example like this to work from. I find things like bootstrap to be completely unapproachable. I spend so much time looking through their src to get slightly non-standard behaviours that it's almost always easier to write my own.
Zoom out.

(I agree it is an annoying oversight)
Nice idea, embedding the actual HN feed in the 'screenshot'.

Can the average man expect to marry a woman with a higher educational attainment than him, who will bear more of the load of providing for the family so he can spend more time with the children? Does a man have an equal chance of getting a college degree (college enrollment and graduation now favors women by 60 to 40 percent)? When a man's wife beats him up and the police not only refuse to take him seriously, but arrest him instead (the primary aggressor doctrine) how does that make him more powerful than the average woman?
These methods also assume that the bottom level is 0. In this graph the bottom whirl is smaller, so probably it's a 0.
it always bothers me if US-officials threatening to take counter measures when countries strengthen civil rights.

His point is, private data is big business and the US gov needs data to grind. We, the US won't let your liberal boundaries interfere with that.

Well, in Germany one has the "Grundrecht", the fundamental right to stay in charge of ones own data.

There are of course many problems in daily life and our data privacy laws sometimes hitting those practical limitations.

Nevertheless, enclosure movement was key in the rise of the US and it remains that way. Strong arming weaker forces out of their turfs and making profits. That is the american way, not ours.

This enclosure movement of private data means "web 2.0 the capitalistic way". We take your data, profiting and you are not. Here, have some booze and blankets.

If you're reading this, you're probably too small.

I believe ORCL wants to drive off all their nuisance D and E customers, which is all the riffraff not paying them $50m/yr. After taking over Sun, they've moved all the good stuff behind a paywall, jacked the cost of legacy products and of supporting them, added onerous contracts with stiff penalties. For example, if you ever drop support, there's a big fine to rejoin. Another example is if you're an OEM they make it very very hard to simply sell their stuff. My $work is an OEM that also uses several products ORCL bought that used to be okay, but now we're getting off them before the sleaze and expense kills us.

So Java is probably one of those standalone business units they need but hope it will make a little profit of its own. The first attempt to monetize, sue GOOG, didn't go so good if you recall.
The leadership of the City of Munich has the incentive to not mislead in their publications, lest they'll be bashed by the opposition. They can't afford that because 2013 there will be an election in Bavaria and the Mayor of Munich (Ude) wants to be the next minister-president of Bavaria.

The problem is that the OpenJDK has problems with graphical toolkits, specifically Swing. Intellij (Java IDE with a lot of Swing) runs a lot worse under the OpenJDK than under the Sun's JVM. I might be wrong, but I don't think this has changed recently.
It will give you a estimate of cents earned, but they are usually too small to appear in the graphic. In this case the first method doesn't work.

I can't imagine what advantage a short intro to python/django could possibly give you in trying to hire a developer.

Do you already have partial implementation of your idea in python? Given python, I can see why you're interested in django. But why python specifically?

I ask this because you may have an easier time finding a good developer without a language requirement. That said, I am a python/django dev. If you want some questions to ask your prospects, I can help you out. Just email me.

Even Microsoft's own "experts" give you confusing and contradictory information about licensing (and their licence resellers are far worse).

Sometimes I wonder if they do this just so that every "audit" generates fines? Even for companies TRYING to do everything above board it is a complex, expensive, process.

I'm STILL trying to get a direct answer on how the anti-virus ("Windows Defender") in Windows 8 is licensed. MSE (Win 7/Vista) has a 10 licence limit (for businesses).

I've asked Microsoft people and they cannot answer...
There's a good This American Life episode interviewing England. She doesn't exactly portray herself in the most flattering light (which is why I think she's telling the truth) and it's interesting to hear what she has to say about the before, during, and after.

It's a steep learning curve, but Chef is totally worth learning if you want to automate ops. Use the time you're wasting on ops to learn Chef instead. If your outsourced ops guy is worth his money, he's probably going to use Chef anyway.
SpeedTest.net Pushing Java Exploit
But that is not what a common dictionary reading of "40 companies all with a valuation of over 1billion" means.

Yes, that is how a sophisticated investor (who has all 40 companies in their portfolio) will see it.

It is not what a layperson will read - and that is likely to be a problem - jargon should not conflict with natural interpretation, it should complement it.
Really nice. I would recommend not animating font-size transitions when resizing. Eye candy can distract the viewer and detract from your message. For a design portfolio it may be more impressive, but for most use cases, I feel it would work better if resizing was instant.
How to Tell Your Company's Story
A theory that states "women cannot be exceptional" is disparaging to women.
> but in the case of the tech industry, most programmers (most people at all levels) are male. we simply dominate - we are a clear majority. so it's not about bias from extremes. we dominate even in the middle.

I don't get how dominating the tech sector translates into a general dominance of the society, whereby a woman's sexist remark against a man can be thought less damaging than a man's sexist remark against a woman.

>which is why these kinds of arguments are popular only in fringe anti-feminist groups)

I think feminists have a long and proud tradition of employing the apex fallacy, whereby they argue that men have all the power worth talking about because of their representation at the top (CEOs, high government posts, ...) and ignore their over-representation at the bottom (prison, homeless, suicides (3x), high school and college drop outs, lower educational attainment (college enrollement and graduation is skewed 60/40 in favor of women now)).

Which anti-feminist apex fallacy arguments have you run into?
Thanks! Glad, someone noticed ;)

What if Mark Zuckerberg invented Twitter?
I've used both Facebook and Twitter. To me both have great ideas to connect people. But i feel that the Twitter's engineering team is less productive than the facebook team: Twitter is so slow in comparison to facebook, though both sites have nearly the same workload. So, i wonder if Mark invented Twitter, do we - twitter users - would have better user experience ?
I'd be happy to help out dependant on your needs, feel free to ping me with further details, the sort of stack you're dealing with and your requirements etc.
I think a good discussion would be whether or not you should use an all-cap font or not. I already disagree with peeters. I hate the idea of copying something I see in all-caps and pasting something which could be any combination of caps and lower-case.

I keep hearing this and I can't find any examples myself. I use IntelliJ occasionally and haven't had any issues using it with OpenJDK 7, though it does warn me IIRC. Similarly, with Minecraft, I've had no issues, though I'm not an avid player by any means.

Either way, it'd be a nice way to give Oracle the middle finger about this.

OpenJDK isn't broadly supported by some important commercial packages. Atlassian, for one, requires the Sun/Oracle JDK.

Correct. However part of the thinking/motive of this approach, is that many men who want to focus on children are not able / comfortable with taking time off, and programmes like this help them. The theory being that this approach harms less people than "no restrictions which in practice means women take all the time off".
Are you offering to pay for Java development and maintenance? I mean... someone has to. How is this not a case of demanding things for free?

If the petition were asking Oracle to establish a nonprofit that could support Java and offering to pay the first $10,000 toward it, I'd have a quite different reaction. But this seems to me no different from agitating for "free healthcare" without even mentioning who might pay for it, just, "it should be free!"

$50 buys you a maximum of 30 minutes of an experienced person's time. And if that's your upper limit, most experienced folks won't bother.

You might find a decent person in a developing country who will trade a couple hours for that same amount, but the search will be time consuming (ergo expensive).

There is the issue of trust -- keys to the kingdom, etc. And availability -- do you need same day response time?

You might be asking for more than you're willing to pay for.

Edit: this service does exist, of course. But nowhere near your stated price point.

Edit again: you'll find that people are happy to answer your questions about how to do things, for free. But the tedious process of doing those things, and taking responsibility for the success of the actions, as defined by you -- who might not have fully specified or understood the implications of your request -- that won't be free. :)
So, on a "some other language does like so" note, in D you might write it kind of like this:

allocate_memory();
scope(failure) free_memory();
setup_interrupts();
scope(failure) teardown_interrupts();
setup_registers();

The scope keyword is for saying that if you get to this point, then do such and such at end of scope. scope(failure)/scope(success)/scope(exit), for exitting scope by exception/return/either. Is kind of nice.
They are talking the talk. They (the US) is unlikely to actually walk the walk.
Apologies for being pedantic, but his last name is 'Zuckerberg'.

If Mark Zuckerberg invented Twitter it would probably be Facebook, and Facebook would be Twitter.

Early Facebook was influenced heavily by Marks ideas and thought patterns, where he wanted to take a website, and it's "coolness" factor. It's not the name or the plan which makes the product, it's the people behind it, Facebook is Facebook because Mark Zuckerberg and the other early founders had tendencies towards certain design ideals and ideologies.

Why I’m Really Digging Google Plus And You Should Too
This rant isn't even relevant to the complaint at hand...unless the point we are supposed to take away is that Oracle's attempt to collect data about its consumer market segment is mediocre. That is a legitimate critique.

Oracle's attempt is pretty lame in comparison to the methods of their tech peers. Apple, Microsoft and Google ship entire mobile operating systems filled with software to collect data and have built vast app stores filled with spyware that does not offer the user a chance to opt out.

But what makes Oracle's acts so lame is that the actually respect enterprise and don't bake the spyware in. Their peers, on the other hand, push BYOD.
Mistake found in invariant subspace proof
Gartner: 2014, Apple will be as accepted by enterprise IT as Microsoft is today.
"Although Apple's mobile iPhone and iPads are already as accepted by enterprise IT as is Microsoft, Apple's Mac systems for laptops/notebooks and desktops remain not commonly accepted by IT," said David Mitchell Smith, vice president and Gartner Fellow. "Going forward, Apple will continue to benefit from consumerization and will continue to evolve Macs to take on more iOS characteristics, which will contribute to acceptance of Macs in the enterprise. As such, enterprise acceptance of Apple will continue to be driven by consumer demand."

Microsoft's mobile offerings - Windows Phone and Windows 8 - are new, but will continue to achieve some acceptance from enterprises, largely due to the relationship that Microsoft has built with them and the management capabilities they provide. However, unlike Apple, Microsoft's offerings have not benefited from consumerization, which is driven first by consumer demand, and then by the demand of those consumers to bring that technology into the workplace. As a result of this shifting landscape, Gartner believes that enterprises should plan for continued consumerization and for the fact that Apple will continue to be a significant beneficiary.
FWIW Namecheap are no longer an ENom reseller, they have been an ICANN accredited registrar since 2009. (I remember when Namecheap had to come to an agreement over the domain ownership between themselves and ENom when they were moving from reseller to ICANN registrar)

Europe is a bunch of countries. I'm sure we can arbitrarily choose any other group of countries that will make it a bigger economy than Europe. So saying that Europe is the largest economy in the world is kind of silly. Largest to what? To other continents?
From the OP: Under the draft Regulation individuals would enjoy a qualified 'right to be forgotten'. That right would enable them to force organisations to delete personal data stored about them "without delay". Organisations that have made the data public would be liable for the data published by third parties and would be required to "take all reasonable steps, including technical measures" to inform those groups to delete the information.

Talk about a blow to the First Amendment. Let's give it the benefit of the doubt and say that this law doesn't force news sites to remove old stories from the web that identify people.

According to the OP's interpretation, if someone uses Twitter to tweet something racist/sexist/utterly despicable and then deletes it after getting called out on it, that person could sue Twitter ten years later if I happened to reply and quote that Tweet? Or if I referenced it in a blog post? And Twitter would be expected to take any technical means necessary to silence me?

How is this law not the SOPA of information?

The petition doesn't ask for it to be free. Personally I have no problems with them including adverts, and they can make money by providing additional tools and services. The problem is that they are bundling borderline malware, using deceptive techniques.
What almost all modern programmers, fortunately, are not exposed to are the goto-infested programs common during the time preceding this technical note. For one example, Fortran II was quite common at the time. IF statements were made up of a numerical test, and three branches: less, equal, greater. This made even simple programs quite difficult to understand.

Dijkstra, as noted in another comment by 'arocks, was a little alarmed at some taking the principle to the extreme. I am afraid that I was one of them for a while.

But the structured programming movement that followed and resulted in a great improvement in readability and in program reliability.
