Step #1 to protect your private data - Have a separate computer, Ubuntu (or some secure OS) installed and disconnect it from the internet permanently. If you want to access any data, just go use the computer and save the data then and there. If you want to transfer data from this computer to another computer, just use a separate encrypted pen drive to transfer between files securely.

If you don't want to use it, just turn it off. I'd love to see how the Chinese/Russian hackers

> Having worked in games for a while I disagree. From a user perspective, I've found that when games don't work at all players often feel the developer is too blame, while if it runs but just unplayable slow they are much more open to blame the system they play it on.

Steam comments on their forums seem to blame developers regardless from just my history of reading them. There might be more arguments about who is to blame (when there's some it runs fine for), but plenty still blame the developer when it runs slow and their system should be able to run it (such as in claims x similar game runs so y should [even if it's not apples and oranges, but users think so anyways]).

OK from what I understand "LXC" is basically the user space tools that give you the distro in the container... it's more of a VM model.

But yeah I think I just need the underlying cgroups, and possibly some of the namespaces. Although I don't car aell that much if untrusted code can see what processes are running; just as long as it can't affect them.

Just curious what you were using containers for from Lua? Sounds interesting.
The UK too has removed the right of sperm donors to be anonymous[1]. The scary part about it was that they did it after the fact. So people who donated on the grounds of anonymity then had the rules change on them after-the-fact.

So if you donated today who knows what the rules/responsibilities might be tomorrow?

Hello. I'm a programmer.

I noticed you couldn't optimize my code to use SIMD so I went ahead and used inline assembly. It will probably take another 30 years before you can actually think like a human and perform optimizations like this.
For some reason that change was attributed to me when all I did was adding a comma after the »Hello« o.ô

You seemingly don't understand a bit about it. And you seemingly doesn't understand how crypt works. Let me educate you:

1. When user registers, his password is hashed with that hash-function, and that hash is stored in a database (it uses random salt).

2. When user tries to access the site, a password is hashed against the hash stored in a database, and it should return same hash if matched (this is how crypt works!).

3. In non strict mode we try also two different passwords to match the hashes (just like Facebook does).

Code example:

1. $hash = \password\hash('user entered password'); // store it to db

2. retrieve hash from db, and check it:

$valid = \password\check('user entered password', $hash, false);

3. // Now these passwords are valid:

'user entered password' // == correct form

'User entered password' // == Mobile browser capitalizing first char

'USER ENTERED PASSWORD' // == CAPS LOCK on

And one line example:

$valid = \password\check('user entered password', \password\hash('user entered password'), false); // == true
Ah, that explains why I got so confused. Thanks!
Boo. I read it with "Hello" and at that moment, I knew it will be a great read. Why someone remove it?
I do a lot of navigation and reading via keyboard, and being able to drift my right hand over and press pgup, pgdown, home, end to navigate documents is much more convenient than trying to contort my already-achy left pinky to find the fn key (and maybe miss it for ctrl or super), or worse, having to move my left hand away from home to press fn with my index finger.

In general I think a lot of programmers including myself map their keyboards in unique and complicated ways. There's no reason to have fewer keys when you can have more, especially considering how others like the Lenovo Yoga have managed to fit more keys in the same space and still maintain the island layout.
Stackoverflow is plagued by overzealous editing IMHO. I understand it's hard to balance it, but a question of mine recently got 3 downvotes and a close, to be reopened later! And now it even has 2 upvotes.

That was why I made the suggestion that you ask the maximum people will pay and charge at at whatever rate fills the venue (though I suspect that people would be likely to underbid compared to if they were told the ticket price, but at the same time they know that if they do not bid enough they are guaranteed to miss out on tickets, which might counterbalance it). It would certainly sort out the glut of music festivals with diluted lineups that Australia is seeing.

But anyway, take it from me, music fans are irrational types who won't see it that way. I've encountered significant resistance at my suggestion of dealing with the scalping problem. An idea exists that the 'real fans' should be able to get tickets at a price they can afford, for whatever definition of 'real' means that the person speaking falls into it.

Plus, sometimes tickets can be sold at market cost, but by taking advantage of the upper end of the market and by limiting supply, scalpers can still be profitable even when only selling a small proportion of the tickets they purchased.
The US has a fairly generous aid program to Burma/Myanmar. How much crackdown on copyright infringement do you think Obama's $170 million can buy?
In Sweden, tax records are public information, so every year around tax time, tabloids will print long lists of names of "the richest people in YOUR neighborhood". Compared to that, this is nothing.
I get what you're saying, but I use those keys to navigate so often that constantly contorting my pinky to reach fn is going to wreck my wrist. With the keys on their own row I can drift my right hand over and comfortably scroll through long documents with one hand, and without having to constantly be aiming for and possibly missing a modifier key. (And possibly fat-fingering the arrow keys because they're so tiny on this model.)

Plus, some people (me) are comfortable with their keyboard layout and shortcuts and don't want to be forced to change their typing habits for no significant gain, when the alternative (full row) is entirely possible and in fact present in similarly-sized laptops like the Yoga.

I ask myself, "Why would Dell change their keyboard like that, given literally all their other laptop models are otherwise?" and the only answer I can think of is, "To look more like Apple." That's not a great reason.

Fascinating, while I was reading that, it got 5 upvotes! Mindblowing.

Only questions are closed or locked, I think. And only if they are not very good questions that will just lead to debate or opinions but should stay around out of historical interest.

And even though the tone of that answer is humourous it still is a good answer, explaining why we don't all write Assembly instead of HLLs.

If you've spent 50 grand on SR in the last year you're either dealing (I make no moral judgement on this) or you have a growing problem.

IF you're not dealing I would advise you to think very hard about the road you're taking, because that is one heck of a habit.

That said I believe, too, it will "up" the game of PaaS, since it certainly has elements of overlap.

30 years? ICC already does automatic vectorization pretty well. LLVM and GCC have implementations that need more tuning. I bet they'll be solid within 5 years.

You still beat them with inline assembly, but you probably won't accelerate the code vectorwidth times anymore.
Actually, most modern compilers can vectorize for you. They are limited by imperative idioms of course, but much of the time they do a good job.
Its the portability of a tablet + the keyboard and fully capable OS that makes it possible.

China Lashes Back at Hacking Claims
My reasoning was that it's the in the IdeaPad line, and that the whole tablet-conversion gimmick is more oriented towards iPad-style media consumption than productivity.

Actually I was really close to buying one myself as a dev machine--it has an IPS screen, a full keyboard, and the tablet thing is a nice, if not strictly needed, bonus. My deal-breaker was no backlit keyboard, because I work a lot at night, and that the wifi card has zero Linux support (as in, you have to connect to ethernet to download the wifi drivers first).

To a lesser extent I would have preferred a 14-inch screen and dedicated graphics, but I was willing to live without those because the Yoga was so nice otherwise.

Will there ever be a perfect machine?! :)

Bruno and his friends are the funniest badgers in school. He is known to have the best dance moves and loves to mimic the singers he is currently into. One sunny day, he was wearing his favourite pair of shoes on his way to school when suddenly he saw his crush on the next street. He instantly ran off to get to her immediately. Two steps behind his crush, a bubble gum stuck under his new pair of shoes and to his dismay he shouted out loud: ”OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” To his embarrassment, his crush looked at him and began to wonder what was wrong with him. Trying to cover up his mistake, he then remembered the famous Oppa Gangnam Style he watched over the internet and imitated it as if he was being funny while being swagging at the same time. He sang OOOOOOp, op, oppa gangnam style His friends then wondered what was wrong with Bruno but instantly followed his dance steps the minute they realized that Bruno's crush was looking at him. Soon more and more people began to join them as they danced. Thus the story of Bruno being the best Badger and dancer of PSYs phenomenal musical hit Oppa Gangnam Style" fell into place! Let Bruno the Badger pass on his contagious dance moves to you with his take on Psy's "Oppa Gangnam Style"!

Ignoring for a moment that compilers are getting better at automatic vectorization, using a compiler allows you to write highly optimized inline assembly for the (usually) tiny parts of the code where it really matters, and gives you the convenience of a high level language everywhere else.

Yeah, I thought it was a great read as well. That answer pops to my mind every now and again.
Exactly

ICC is the best one, but GCC from 4.0 could do it "automatically" (being very loose about the term)

And no one does inline assembly for that, they use intrinsics
Wow this is awesome! I've never seen something like this, and it seems to work quite well!

The Ctrl is still readily accessible with the left pinky. I've never had problem with this om my Thinkpad. It just took some time to getting used to. They keyboard was phenomenal compared to cheap asus books I've tried (both feel and horrible layout were a cause).

Then I got Dell (E6400) and liked the keyboard even more. The feel was better. Only thing I missed was the light from Thinkpad. While the keyboard was backlit, I found the top light to be more convenient.

It is scamming, at least in my book. Of course not the one you go to jail for but still scamming. What makes it even worse is the fact, that she talks about the opposite and judge people for doing the same what she did.

If you read your own post, you'll see that you claim that every case involves:
a) a contract
b) a breach of mentioned contract

Yet you seem to reference a case in which there was no contract between Monsanto and the farmer, thus contradicting the aforementioned universal claim a.

Can you explain this seeming paradox? Or are you just abusing the language to paint a pretty picture?
> Dells in general have significantly worse trackpads and keyboards than MacBooks

I would agree with the trackpad, however I don't use it (I prefer trackpoint). But significantly worse keyboard? No way. I assume we talk about "business" notebooks when comparing to apple, not some plastic media books with glossy screen.

Rusty Schweickart (Apollo 9 astronaut) gave an interesting talk back on 2004 on "The Asteroid Threat Over the Next 100,000 Years" [1]. He said that we don't have any technology (space capable nukes, gravity tractors, laser deflection, etc) to prevent impacts. As far as I know this is still true nine years later.

He gave some useful probabilities for the likelihood of impacts with rocks of various sizes over long an short time scales, which puts the risk into context.

He also explained that if you could develop the means to deflect an incoming rock away from the earth, the same technology could be weaponized to deliver impactors towards points on the planet's surface.

Schweickart is involved with the B612 Foundation [2], who are doing work on impact prevention technology. He's co-chair of the NASA Task Force on Planetary Defense [3], which sounds cool.

Ubuntu Phone, Tizen, Firefox OS: The mobile battle for fifth
One of the reason software still works is that compilers are (mostly ()) very easy to test. Just just need an input source code, and expected outcome (either compiler error, or the result when running the code). No intermediate state to consider, no concurrency, no test database to set up etc.

Oh, and many serious compilers can compile themselves, so bootstrapping is a pretty good test too.

Another reason is that compilers simply must* work for software development to continue, so people have spend the necessary amount of energy to get implementation and tests "right".

(*) There are always exceptions, like when a compiler auto-parallelizes code and introduces a race condition that is rarely triggered. But those cases are blessedly rare.
