Fortran (especially ancient, wheezy Fortran) lent itself to supervised automatic parallelization because of its lack of dynamic arrays. It was "easy" to vectorize code at compile time when you had so much information about the runtime expectations.

We can do some of this now in most languages with hot-spot profiling, basic block analysis, selective inlining, and other innovations. However, you really can't beat low-level languages that explicitly "hint" at their execution paths.

By the same token, Cray's applications were...so...slow if you were foolish enough to run them on the expensive hardware and not the FEPs.
In the context of the game, you're right, he has no vote. But this isn't Pathfinder, there are very real out-of-game-context consequences to this game. This is more akin to a long-term slave BSDM relationship.
Since these tests seem to be all about JSON serialization, it would've been interesting to see the tests with rails-api instead of the standard Rails stack:

As a practicing (biomedical) scientist I can say that the claims get bolder the higher the publishing cost. This is because the highest costs generally are associated with the most prestigious journals, and you won't be published in those journals if your paper doesn't make bold claims. The same exact set of experiments can be sold a number of ways - and when you shoot for the prestigious ones you try to sell it as hard as you can.

The correlation isn't perfect because some of the newer, more prestigious, open source journals are pretty well curated.
No specific answer from me, but I guess digging through some top entries from pubmed can answer that. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene?term=%28cd47[gene]%29%20AND... may be a good start.
The Apps for Office API seems to be fairly limited right now to reading from a document and inserting text and images. For insertion, you can only insert data at the cursor point or replace currently selected text. There aren't yet options to move the cursor or insert more advanced document objects. (Although, the Outlook Mail apps are an entirely different story) I think the typical use cases that work well with this API are easier information retrieval while working on a document and inserting images or passages of text.
Looks good. You should think about adding Facebook Connect for registrations... especially with how much a lot of people like to announce how motivated they are to look after their health, and after all, "it's a good thing that you told everyone you went to the Gym, otherwise that session would have been totally pointless".

You should also make it clearly what your business model/pricing/fees/plans/what to expect once you sign up. This information is really difficult to discover without subscription.
Well I'm confused why it's so hard for people to face basic facts about their diet and what they eat. However, I suppose when you don't care or educate yourself about diet then one would wonder why they're overweight.

I enjoyed reading your writing but I stopped reading at: "Exercise, I’d say, is irrelevant, to weight loss too" Exercise is most definitely RELEVANT to weight loss and to blatantly disregard it seems ridiculous. A decent diet paired with solid exercise is the cornerstone to a mental and physical prosperity. Neither is irrelevant.
I imagine these people are desperate enough to find other means to acquire an antibody that blocks CD47. I wonder what quasi- or il- legal means are available to them? Care to speculate?

Edit: perhaps a set of crowd-sourced, extremely explicit instructions about how to manufacture, purify, and test such antibodies would be a start. With such a set of instructions, they might be able to find experts to help them under the table.
Whoops, I meant that judging by c.o.'s username, we're all on Team More Ladies In Tech Good. I recognized her username because with more time, I would have liked to use her company's API on a project I worked on.

Because they didn't leave any option to "break everything". If the new stuff was mature when released it might be a different story.

Some people actually have work to do however and don't appreciate being forced from a 2.0 to a 0.5alpha without option. Unless you wanted to stay on an unsupported dist for years as I did with Natty (until recently).

Despite my complaints, experimentation is fine in my book... The best way of handling this would be to ship Gnome2 and 3/Unity side-by-side and let the user choose, but 2 was dumped immediately for something broken, unknown, and undocumented. There's no way to stay current without "busting" your desktop.
I think people overestimate how much time they spend doing repetitive tasks like copying and pasting with definable patterns. I'm a Java programmer, and I certainly do this, but I can almost always use a simple search and replace to make it work in IntelliJ. But, for the sake of argument, let's say that if I were to do this once a week, maybe for five minutes, copying and pasting manually with a mouse, that five minutes might feel like an eternity. Vim would do this quickly, but it would also slow me down when I do project-level refactoring, like renaming a method, which IntelliJ does globally in a matter of seconds. Sure, you can configure Vim to do this kind of stuff, and you can combine it with other tools... but at what point are you getting diminishing returns?

On top of it, as a web developer, I already need to know so much, from front end with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, to Servlets and Spring MVC, to SQL and all of the glue that binds all of this mess together like XML and supporting tools like SCMs. My head is absolutely full of information. In this environment, I am convinced that Vim is a complete waste of my time. A good IDE is ten times better at handling the vast majority of tasks I encounter day-to-day.

If anything, I think Vim is like truck nutz for programmers. It's all about projecting an image of competence and bravado.

44% isn't a high divorce rate? It is higher than it has been ever in our history. 6% away from flipping a coin that your marriage will fail. No thanks.

The proportion of children born outside of marriage, and more likely to not have strong father figures, is growing every year. Most mothers get custody, and most children don't have a strong father figure.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/18/us/for-women-under-30-most...

The marriage rate in the US is dropping drastically as well. Marriage doesn't make sense. Guys have nothing to gain from marriage and only things to lose. No, you don't get loyalty when you get married, and you don't get any of the other things you want. Most guys say they get less of what they want from their spouse after marriage.

Greylists are murder on businesses that depend on receiving mail from new people.

I see SpamHaus as akin to a the Microsoft monopoly in the 90's. If your interests are aligned with them, great. And for most people they do a great job. But there a lots of small businesses who get caught up and nearly crushed. Because a listing on a blacklist can be murder for a business that depends on communicating with people over email.
That's a pretty carefully thought out list of grievances.

What do you mean by 1), though? The link shows a list of methods you can't override on NSManagedObject, but they're things like -class and -isEqual:, which seems pretty reasonable for a system that needs to inspect and compare its objects.

Core Data does solve a few tough problems well. Faulting, uniquing, and cross-context change merging are probably the top three. Yes, it can be much simpler to just query SQLite, but I've never seen somebody do that and abstract away updating stale copies of objects.
With all due respect to Reader, IMHO this announcement, viewed in the context of the legal battle that rages over software patents these days, is in a wholly different league.
Absolutely my feeling too. The review fairly swiftly turns into a list of what programs are installed. Let's face it, all of these are available in the repos of pretty much all distros. The rest of the features seem to be visual tuning and customisation.

I haven't tried Fuduntu, but may be tempted at some point, and I can appreciate the amount of work that has gone into it, but this review doesn't really sell it for me.

My theory is that the culture of internal secrecy at Apple prevents the teams from collaborating. So you get products that work fine in isolation. Also a factor would be date-driven-development. Steve would want to demo a new offering at WWDC, so everything was driven by making that date.

My hope is that now that one person (Jonathan Ive) has been put in charge of product development, things might get better.
I run a mail server with OpenBSD's spamd[1] with greylisting and it works well enough. Most spam is not sent by SMTP compliant hosts. Blacklisting makes it particularly hard to recover IPs that have ever been compromised and unfairly hurts good hosts on otherwise untrustworthy (like some home ISPs) networks.

Awesome idea! Great companies should love this. It attracts passive job applicants - people currently employed but looking for a better job or company. Passive job seekers are often deterred from looking online because it takes so much time to go through all the irrelevant job posts to find the few they really want. Small companies that are great places to work but haven't received awards or press attention get lost in the mix on job boards. Now they can use this tool to stand out. Benefits both sides.
Try thinking quicker.
So if these guys are reliable (?) and if I understand this right, from 2011 to 2012 we saw:

* An increase in preferred stock deals, decrease in convertible note deals. (bad)

* if you started in 2011, 50% of you got a series A. Started 2012 - only 33% (bad)

* this is somewhat offset by doubling of seeded companies getting follow-on seed finance (12% - 23%, almost half of the drop above) (good)

Trends:

- Seed financing is becoming institutionalized (if you see Angellist as an institution)

- Seed deals grew ~400% and Series A grew by 50% (This is the Series A Crunch right there)

- Getting Series A needs traction, apparently traction is not being shown by most companies started in 2012. (v bad)

Also:

There appears to be a difference between software companies and "Internet/Digital media" companies. I am guessing content but frankly how can content be 3/4 of the funded market?

It ignores companies funded with less than 1/4 million - so that may well explain the preponderance of "content" companies.

Summary

Overall I like broad sweep reviews, its my years of Risk playing. But it does not look too good for companies taking finance and hoping to drive into millions more on Series A - and only a review of the sub-250K market is going to tell if the world is drying up, or startups are becoming in the old words "too cheap to meter"
Thanks! Great feedback and ideas.
I don't think that it's unreasonable to say that Google gets the purchasing data for free in this deal, but these things are quantifiable, right? The value of the shipping and the value of the data? The data might be harder to arrive at a number, though, since purchasing data can be reused over and over for different metrics, increasing its value.
A bit off-topic, but I'm curious as to why you chose to use Redis to Go over firing up a VM yourself and hosting Redis?
> So you don't believe Google's offers to work with external implementors?

I wasn't born yesterday.

Microsoft is patching WebKit to support Pointer Events. Strange days, but even this "help" does not mean Pointer Events should win (or lose -- it's neutral in standards terms, at most helpful to show implementation feasibility and quality, if possible).

Why do you distrust Apple and Microsoft and ascribe bad motives to them based on their commercial interests, but fault Mozilla for not jumping on Google's Pepper treadmill like a good little-brother caricature? Google has commercial interests too, and they have spent >$1B a year on Chrome -- including advertising and bundling that directly targets Firefox users. (It's amazing we are still alive, and possibly even growing desktop share.)

You are surely right that some amount of competitive pressure will be required to get asm.js optimized in all engines. Ditto for WebGL in IE, and enabled in Safari. But cooperation between Chrome and Firefox is already happening on both asm.js and WebGL, so between these "coopetition" pincers, I bet we'll prevail.

A hopeful sign regarding WebGL in IE11, assuming it is legit: http://fremycompany.com/BG/2013/Internet-Explorer-11-rsquo-s...

Anyway, let's assume everyone has equally good motives, since Google is not any less commercial than Microsoft or Apple these days. Pepper is still too costly for others to swallow even with offers of "help", and therefore losing -- it is not even in the race.

asm.js and evolved Web APIs (which developers need anyway) are winning.

Evil-me on my Throne of Skulls didn't ordain this outcome. It is unfolding before our eyes across browsers, developers, and very pragmatic third parties including big game/game-engine publishers.

There has got to be a way to address this need.

Yes, there is. Fight for the right of each individual to follow his best judgement in regard to all matters pertaining to his own life. (If someone doesn't know enough to make the call, he knows enough to choose a physician who can.)

Right now, timely experimental treatments are basically outlawed. What good is it to say that there's an FDA procedure to get around the controls if you're treated too late? What right does anyone have to deprive anyone else of what might be their only shot at life?

Its an interesting twist on the story. What are Nokia's motivations? What does Nokia lose if there is a free to use codec out there? What does anyone lose?

From the links embedded in that it seemed like Nokia would not be open to being 'bought off' like MPEG-LA was, so this seems like it will end up being litigated which means a longer time with a cloud over the tech.

Back in the dot-boom days the mantra of Web 1.0 was "own the road" which was code for massive rent-seeking type businesses around locking up key pieces of the infrastructure and establishing control. Apparently that was a common way in the "real" (non computer) world of manipulating power (I've read accounts of companies/individuals buying up all the land that might have coal in it to put pressure on the steel mills who needed that coal etc).

I had some hopes that as we crossed 2015 and moved forward things would change radically (that is when the patents issued in 1995, the leading edge of the amazing patent race, start expiring). However watching the sorts of continuations and tweakish type things that have been going on is quite discouraging.

One bright spot was this story : http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20130124104536791 where Uniloc didn't even make it out of the gate. This in a courtroom that has been a favorite spot for patent trolls. So I take it as a small sign that the judiciary is developing better insights. Progress is slow, but I choose to see it as progress.
Why sell for $10? It's pointless, not the kind of money I'm afraid to lose.
Missiles can be shot down by state actors, non-state actors can hide deep in areas which are out of range of the U.S. or its allies. But launching anything on an ICBM makes it almost impossible for other nations to distinguish from a nuclear missile launch.

Of course, if Prompt Global Strike is capable of carrying cargo with it then maybe countries like Russia or China would suspect it can also carry a small nuclear warhead, so it may be that concern doesn't completely go away.

I wouldn't call Yesod "anti-haskell". By default, it relies on QuasiQuotes and TemplateHaskell a lot [1], which are extensions to the GHC. So by default, you'd have a hard time running Yesod applications on anything else but GHC (the Glasgow Haskell Compiler). These extensions allow you to write in an EDSL that generates Haskell for you. IMO, Yesod's use of these extensions are a benefit, as it allows the user to get stuff like type-safe URLs in HTML for free (e.g. you put href=@{Home} on your HTML element and Yesod will ensure that the value interpolates to a route that exists at compile time).

Haskell libraries often depend on language extensions, whether it is overloaded strings or type families or whatnot... so I think it's strange that Yesod gets picked on for doing the same: taking advantage of the tools provided by GHC to create a better environment for the developer.

In a lab with controlled portions people lose weight.

Outside the lab where they are free to revert to gluttony they also typically revert to their original weight (exactly as harris/benedict predicts).

Cals in/cals out works fine. But only if you actually work it. I've successfully used it myself to modulate my weight in both bulking and cutting cycles, as well as reducing my weight from obese to healthy back in the day.
I hope those large holders are not so stupid to drop a large chunk at the market at once.

I will definitely buy in this case, tho.

As a Rails developer and admirer, this is eye-opening. I love the framework (and Ruby especially), but these numbers bear some serious consideration.

30-50x performance difference gets really... real, no? The standard refrain of "throw more hardware at it" must reconcile with the fact that a factor of 30-50x means real dollars for the same amount of load. Is the developer productivity really that much greater?
You realize I'm just asking some questions, right?
If people choose to overeat and do not lose weight (as you assert occurs), that is not evidence against cals in/cals out.
To some extent yes, but bloated framework issue will remain even if you compile to C++ despite the compiler's best effort optimization.
Didn't know it was this bad, but couldn't agree more. It should be entirely up to an individual what they put in their body. Monumentally frustrated right now.
There's gob ( http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/gob/ ). Not going to claim it's on the level of node communication in Erlang, but it does make data (de)serializaiton incredibly simple. With only a few lines of code you could have a channel reading from and writing to a socket to another machine.

Very nice benchmark. As developer of a toy "framework", but powerful http server library, I wanted to check on my project. I did a fast blog entry at http://bit.ly/10l9Smj. I got ~58288.10 for simple json, 8594.39 on db using sqlite, 503.23 for 20 requests.

Anyway for me its more important speed of development than performance on the server. Maybe my servers do not get that many visits.

You should also note that DNSSEC is just as much of a problem as open resolvers.

A normal A record lookup results in 1-2x amplification

$ dig www.ripe.net. in a | grep SIZE
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 46

Asking for DNSSEC records specifically yields a 10x+ amplification

$ dig www.ripe.net. in RRSIG | grep SIZE
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 534

According to research by DJB[1] over 2000 DNSSEC enabled zones provide >30x amplification for incoming UDP queries.
