Is every party to any war a terrorist?
The law depends on reasonable interpretations of intent and harm, not tricks of code. If your nominal piece of code "protects" something that is reasonably understood to be public, and if access cannot reasonably be interpretted to cause harm, then the code does not create a federal crime.

But, wait, isn't that unworkably fuzzy? Who gets to decide what is reasonable? Ultimately the answer would be a judge or jury of your peers.
How are you possibly going to get the PHP docs? (I'm thinking in terms of the comments and what not, since those are oftentimes better than the docs themselves)

I don't know. My best friend from growing up was not bullied in any way (we were homeschooled and he was the popular one in our knot), but some sociology class in college made him internalize the notion that "names really do hurt" and it eventually tore our friendship apart. He couldn't differentiate between good-natured ribbing and bullying. I knew this guy for 25 years and "names really do hurt" turned him into a dullard who couldn't hang out with the guys and have a drink.
Curious, so now it's Sublime's turn to take a battering over version development?

I don't see much of a difference. Is that the point? Are you saying that JPEGMini are just compressing to ~83% quality?
Hi, I have started your project previously and while I haven't had a chance to test it out, I must say the idea of using cloud-front as a collector is a superb brilliant idea to scale an analytics platform and would be both very scalable, reliable and economical.

Btw, do you have more experience to share? e.g. with infobright, how many events can be processed per second? what would be the "ETL latency"? can infobright handle 10TB of data easily, any caveat besides the row limit? Thanks.
That is wrong attitude.
It was very noticeable to me, by second grade, who was there to learn and who was just there because they were forced to wake up and walk to a bus stop in the morning. While I was lucky enough to be put into some specialty classes based on previous testing I'd done, the majority of my day was still spent sitting next to kids who were literally drying glue in their desks, pouring ink into it to color it and eating it once it dried.

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with those kids, they just need a different direction and a little more support.
The American media holds "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" almost up there with objective truth. It's definitely not a bad principle on the whole, but you can generally predict an article's take from that.
When I looked at doing the same thing a few years ago, I found it was explicitly ruled out in the conditions attached to the eBay API. There may be a way to get by under the radar, but I considered it a sufficiently sketchy business model I abandoned the idea.

> It wasn't until the smaller, cheaper cell phones of the 90s that everybody had one.

Why think that was about the size and not more about the price? Every kid I knew who watched Saved by the Bell wanted a mobile phone, they just weren't in the "get it for Xmas or birthday" price range.

You're right, it is unfair to generalize that all female Python developers don't use Chrome. Wonder if it looks better on a Mac in Chrome; it looks terrible in Chrome on Windows.
seems to break when i put in a specific season, ex:

- "dexter season 6" returns only listings where season 1-6 are sold setting an average price at ~$140
- "simpsons season 9" returns listings where multiple seasons including season 9 are sold setting the an average price at ~$150

In each case the 'raw data' had more than one season in it
The idea that bullies are never academically talented is a false dichotomy. The idea that bullies only attack "smart," kids is ludicrous. Thus, ability-based classes would not end bullying in any way.

ST2 is definitely really stable.

What do you use ST2 for? I use it for coding, primarily for the web, so in a large sense ST2's value for me depends on package creators keeping the various packages updated for the ever-evolving world of web standards and frameworks.

It seems unrealistic to me to think that a significant number of package creators will continue to support ST2 after ST3 is released.

Of course, not everybody uses ST2 in ways that depend on it being kept up-to-date with changing tools and standards. For those people, no real loss when a lot of the package creators move on to ST3 or something else.
The only thing that bothers me about ST development is that Jon doesn't give much feedback to the community about his plans for ST, or about "ST philosophy", etc. In that sense I miss feeling "he hears" us.

But that works for him: he probably wants to avoid making any promises.
I always thought plugin incompatibility was really more about moving from python 2.7.x to 3.x. This is a fairly huge problem that the python community is just starting to get traction on and I am glad to see ST taking the more difficult but ultimately correct upgrade path.

Yes.
"we" in most western countries do tend to provide schooling to our children and make it mandatory

Dutch people use US International layout keyboards almost exclusively (@ above 2). The Dutch layout (# above 2) is very very rare.
Interesting post. ST2 has a lot of good ideas but need to be a lot more polished. When you compare ST2 to Textmate, you really feel the difference in features but also unfortunately in global feeling about the app. The devil is in the details.

I agree ST3 breaking retro compatibility won't help. It seems more a personal development preference than real features/stability improvement. The only major diff is the shift to python 3 and it's still controversial in the python community.

This should surprise no one. This sort of nonsense is the entire reason cisco exists as a company. Their products are underpowered, overpriced, and their software is incredibly unreliable. Scamming big entities with closed bid processes into buying millions of dollars worth of equipment is cisco's bread and butter.

I don't expect my tools to be free, but I do expect that if I pay for them, they do a better job than the free competition.

There are a plethora of free editors available. What does $70 get me for Sublime? Now compare to Vim,Emacs,textadept,notepad++,etc. Heck even Visual Studio 2012 Express is free to use all the editors.
Yes, IE 10 has IE 6 (Quirks), 7, 8, and 9 mode.
I get the message and it certainly makes sense for alot of people to be able to code, but on the other hand i know so many (also smart) people that hate any job that would involve using a computer for more than communication.

Not everyone wants to sit in front of a screen all day, and imo thats a good thing.
This is my main issue with ST2. It's missing various features that I consider to be almost key for my workflow.

I'm stuck running code from the terminal because of the limitations of build systems in ST2. There's a nasty and supposedly un-fixable bug on Linux where the menu bar is always visible. When I install on any distro that isn't using a popular desktop environment, anything meant to open in browser doesn't work until I make some changes. The folder names in config are all uppercase and include spaces.

I'd love to fix these things. I can't, so I expect to find myself on vim in the near future.
Is there any way to search for a certain condition only? When I search for the iPhone for example, it returns a huge range of prices that include ones that were used and refurbished.

The best 3D interface isn't going to look like a computer interface at all.

It's going to be a small patch on your skull that lets you look at a link and think : click / go. Your eyes and focus will make your hands almost entirely pointless for using a computer.

Within 10 to 20 years it'll be possible to wear said small patch, look at a url bar, think google.com, then think: go or enter, and it'll all just work. I think it'll be available in 10, but larger consumer adoption within 20.

That same patch will enable true interfacing with your physical environment. Walk into your house and think kitchen lights on (plus a safe confirmation word or phrase to make sure you mean it), and they'll come on based on the associated phrase.

By the time companies like Microsoft get around to trying to perfect a ridiculous hand > 3D interface, this concept will already have destroyed it.

Minority Report interfaces also will never become mass consumer adopted because of this.
> I don't 100% get the band limited signal bit. How does band limiting imply that there's only a single possible reconstruction of the digital signal?

I agree that was a little unclear. I think what he's saying is that since humans can't hear above ~20 KHz, frequencies above that are lost. The 'wobbles' in the square wave are what happens when you take a square wave (which is a summation of infinite sine saves with frequencies an integer multiple of the fundamental) and drop the frequencies above the ~20 KHz cutoff.

In other words, it has nothing to do with any analog/digital conversion. It's just what happens if you ignore frequencies above 20 KHz, which we can't hear anyways. We can't hear any difference between a 'perfect' square wave and the bandwidth limited one.

I also don't completely understand about their being only one possible solution. It makes sense if you know that the signal is a single sine wave, but since in general the signal is a summation of an unknown number of sine waves, it's not clear. I guess this is something he didn't have time to get into more depth for the quick overview :)

> Isn't there also an argument that frequencies above 19khz

The rule of thumb I've heard is 20 KHz. I also wondered if this is an issue. It'd be interesting to know the distribution of how many people can perceive frequencies how much higher than that. I think though that the 20 KHz is already fairly far along the long tail, and most people's cutoffs are actually lower.
This made me search to see if there was any 256 key keyboards so I could have a key for every byte, but I apparently no one has been that crazy yet.
No, because we have more information than rsync does. We own both ends of the connection and can keep versions synchronized.
This is absolutely correct. I remember all too well when my graphing calculator was stolen from me during a movie in religion class (high school freshman year, catholic all boys school). I was socially inept and naturally, the first thing I did was tell the teacher. He asked the class who had taken it and waited a few minutes. When no one said anything, he said something like "Well, I can't keep them from their next class."

A few weeks later, a guy I knew had his stolen in English class, but he got it back by standing by the door at the end of class and asking people individually who had taken it as the other students left.

And I remember how in the months and years after that, if tricks were played on me in class, the kids would laugh at me and the teachers would stand at the front looking lost and doing nothing. Going through the proper channels doesn't do shit.
Chrome and thin fonts don't mix well. That said, I still don't understand why people use thin fonts for body copy. It reduces readability so much (even on FF where the rendering is fine).
There's dedicated keys for brackets and parentheses in relatively easy-to-reach positions. How could you make that more pleasant?
I guess it's easier to ship an updated rendering engine if you are also the one shipping the single embedding application of said rendering engine, unfortunately.
Changing IDEs might be a big thing, but changing editors is something that many of us do several times a day (quick fix before commiting on Vim, prefer Emacs for Latex, ST for Python, etc).
I just mean adding things that aren't just straight functions. For example, this cannot return results about PHP's memcache right now. I'm thinking along the lines of adding a short explanation of what certain things do, along with an example.
It's a shame because Quicksand looks like a great Sans Serif font. I hope that the immediate repulsion I felt when I opened this article doesn't detract from people reading the great gentle introduction to using rebase.
The benchmark actually has a pretty reasonable workload: rendering, playing sound effects, doing some basic flood-fill searching, etc. And it's much faster in IE10 than Firefox for me, so...
The picture at the top made me think "office with natural light." Seriously, I would be willing to shank a mofo for more natural light at work.
All rings true to me both from my intuition and personal experience, HOWEVER... They only briefly mention not to put sugar in your coffee. I think this is a gross understatement, when all I see everywhere is people walking around with bucket-sized cups of cream and syrup (plus a little espresso).

If anything, our consumption of coffee may have spurred the diabetes epidemic by encouraging people to indulge their cream and sugar cravings all day long, in a socially-encouraged and -reinforced way...

I recall you saying something similar last time people were hating TextMate because of the version development schedule (or the fact that TM2 was going to be free I think). This is just going to go on forever.

Dear my development comrades, bookmark tptacek's comment and think nice thoughts before complaining about the wonderful text editor that you use day and night (whichever it happens to be).
wow lots to address here and I generally have a policy of avoiding political discussion on HN, so I'll refrain.

However I'd just say rather than looking at maps and guessing about wealth distribution you can just look at the exit poll data.

Fantastic! A great call to action.

But... how do we do it? What one person perceives as hurtful is normal behavior to another. There simply is no quantitative scale of what is hurtful behavior and what is not, because it differs from person to person.

To those claiming "Our kids need to fight back", how's that other's parent going to respond when their child is beat up, for just saying the words "Pork Chop"? Not well, I can imagine. People are given nick names all the time, by their parents, by their peers. Because a minority of people take offense, can we now broadly classified this "normal" behavior as bullying?

Bullying is not right, but neither is it simple to classify or prevent.
Just providing a good environment for learning (teachers explaining things, eager to answer question).

For ones wanting to learn, just don't force them to do so.
OK, is someone is not much willing to learn - well, then it may be good to force to do so. But don't force everyone because some need it.

(It seems that forcing people to learn is very inefficient. And I think for that reason many times school are places to socialize, bully and drink doing not much work that it is necessary to survive... and not much places actually good for learning anything.)
At first, I dislike teaching programming in schools. It is because the space might then be over populated and finding jobs will be harder. Then I realized math was taught in school, science was taught in school. But most of us students didn't end up as mathematicians or scientists. Programming is much like math and science. It is a technical topic, and not all of us will like it. It can be taught in school as an essential subject but not all of them will pursue to be a programmer in the future.
... with the net effect being that people believe they are choosing media of their own free will, and therefore much less likely to question what it says. Even though all of the major culturally-sanctioned channels are advocating a consistent bias, their emphases create an illusion of variety.

I doubt people in places with state-controlled media tune in and think they're getting the whole story. In the Western world, we've moved beyond the battle for facts - the battle is for control of their interpretation.
>In any case, it'd be interesting to reencode the original clip using plain x264, once using the same options they used and once using some sane x264 preset.

I'm up for that. It'll take a while to download all the source videos, but I'll report back with results and videos when I'm done.

I already did a test encode with x264 --preset veryslow --tune film --level 4.0 --crf 21 on the Bourne Identity clip, and the result is within the same realm than the Beamr video with ~58% the filesize. Which is not surprising at all, considering Beamr's settings.

EDIT: Testing with nearly identical settings (x264 --bframes 0 -- subme 8 --no-psy --no-mbtree) using the latest x264 gives me about 40% the bitrate of the Beamr example for the Bourne Identity clip, which unsurprisingly looks notably worse. So maybe Beamr's "magical" encoding technology is all about fiddling with x264's CRF to make it double the bitrate at a given value compared to vanilla x264?
Crud. My second paragraph didn't post. Adding it below:

Not everyone wants to sit and read or do calculations, but it's still important to have a basic grasp of literacy and numbers.

Currently, there is not a basic grasp of digital literacy. I don't think everyone should know, off the top of their head, how to compile a script. But if people understood the idea of patterns in text and repeatable tasks (i.e. for loops), that could be very helpful, especially to professional developers who can make use of structured, well planned information.
I am in full support of this movement. Its benefit in my opinion are twofold:
1) Younger kids learn to code and which will result in them becoming more skillful programmers when they are older.
2) People who can currently program and write shitty code get challenged and can actually seek to improve their own skills and learn about more advanced concepts in programming.
I was just looking into what SDCH is (an accept-encoding option from Chrome) and it sounds very, very similar: It generates a dictionary and then uses VCDIFF between requests. Is this related somehow?
Most of these people would not become developers. But think of the benefits if everyone had a brief exposure to how a computer works, or a realistic view of it should/can do. It may even cause everyone to regularly update their browsers as they now see the importance of it - we may even see the death of IE ;)

I think it's interesting that initiatives to teach programming mostly reach to kids.

A big chunk of my peer group is 30 year-old underemployed humanities students. If they were interested, I'm sure that most of them could be not-underemployed.

Though TV takes its toll.
I suppose these could be made into a fashionable or trendy item, and that augmented reality is an inevitability. My problem with it is that I hate how everyone is so distracted in public now. Walking through the tunnels in downtown Houston is a maze of phone zombies. Maybe Google glass could help this because they can at least look forward.

Im a terrible multitasker, and I think that using this (or any augmented reality device) may make me worse at everything. I may be a curmudgeon here, but my father was nearly killed by a texting driver. I wish people could just focus on doing one thing at a time, and google glass seems contrary to that aim.
You are a pretty bad judge of talent.

I firmly agree with you that classroom lectures are garbage. We homeschool our children. I'm simply making the point that, at least among younger children, age based classes are preferable to skill-based classes.

A preferable alternative in my mind would be a classroom where ALL work is done independently. The teacher then calls each student to their desk individually to see what they have learned and what they need help with. They can then spend 10-15 minutes individually with each student per day. Fast students can get pushed ahead and slow students can get the help they need instead of being forced along with the rest of the class.
If pilots had hangars and hangars full of free airplanes to choose from, I'm sure they would.
