The template is just a theme for beamerposter [1], which is a very nice extension to LaTeX Beamer to make posters.

I've used beamerposter and I'm very happy with it, it is easily customizable (just create a beamertheme<yourname>.sty) so I suggest to make your own theme, maybe with the colors of your institution (for example, I went for a bluish flat theme: http://www.di.unipi.it/~ottavian/files/wavelet_trie_poster.p...)

I hope that you'll make heavy modifications to JGit, in other projects that switched from native Git to JGit (IntelliJ IDEA, Jenkins) I've nothing but troubles with our remotes.

FWIW, the Jenkins Git plugin has quickly switched back to native Git, because JGit doesn't work in the same way and it's a mistake to believe it does.

Try JGit with login/password on a remote under https; for additional fun, try to serve it with a self-signed certificate.

The reasoning in this short message seems very unlike anything else I've heard from Stallman. Has he changed a lot since 2001? From what I've read I'd gander that Stallman has become markedly less pragmatic (or more radical?) since this was written.

Listening to him speak in 2009 was surreal, especially during the Q&A session. I can't recall any specific quotes but he was ready to burn ten bridges for an ounce of symbolic freedom. The whole time I kept thinking of this John McCarthy (coined the term AI, "discovered" lisp) quote:

"He's a man of principle. He'd cut his mother's throat for a principle."

If you can swap out your wife's car alternator, install an electrical outlet in her sewing room, til up the garden and replace the kitchen faucet when it leaks she'll keep you around for many years and she will bake you cookies!

It seems parts of our brains will always be primitive. Tarzan and Jane sort of relationship. I don't mind. As a man, I enjoy doing these things. I like helping my wife, saving money and using my hands to fix stuff myself rather than paying someone else. The only big hurdle I face is finding time to do these things. It's not an ability issue, but a time issue.

Also, manual labor is a nice break from coding and technology and my wife rewards my efforts handsomely as sometimes I get kisses and cookies ;)
True and true. But a decent checker like e2fsck should be paranoid & untrusting of on-disk data structures, and able to retrieve at least some data from a badly-mangled filesystem. It is a fallback tool but a useful one.

To me, this is similar to the music industry/pirating example. Find a black market, go to the source of the problem, improve the experience so that users will choose your legal method as the best alternative. In music/movies, it's providing easy-to-access, high quality streams and downloads; here it's providing a way to improve your experience at the ballpark.

Finding the right prices will be key, and take some time, but even less than optimal fee (from the stadium's perspective) will recoup some of the otherwise lost revenue.

How much can stadiums realistically expect to earn a night? Several thousand?

> The other half strongly believe that there is no evidence of pesticides being the problem,

No. The protest to the "we already know, it's pesticides" camp is the concern that colony collapse may be more complicated than a single factor. That doesn't mean that those people believe there couldn't be a corporate cover up or bias in research, but that they are cautious about evidence and the scientific method.

I haven't found a single comment here that says "no, pesticides aren't the problem." Instead, there are plenty of comments saying it's just not clear how significant of a problem it is in relation to colony collapse.

Not only that, but of the people who say "no there is no mystery," not everyone agrees on what this incredibly obvious conclusion is. Is it susceptibility to parasites from neonics, or is it that neonics cause them to lose their sense of direction (the latter seems much less likely from the research I've perused.) Is it just a pervasive environmental effect, is it from bees foraging in Bt-corn, is it from neonic treated corn syrup? Or is it from pesticides that are totally different than neonics?

Do you really think we should stop research into parasites like Apocephalus borealis or Varroa or electromagnetic interference? If not, then it's nowhere near a foregone conclusion, perhaps even a 'mystery.'

Beekeeping as it has been done since the widespread adoption of the Langstroth hive [circa 1852] has been bad for bees ... The opening from the top destroys the bees' carefully maintained nestduftwarmebingdung...

This may all be true, but none of it addresses the huge, sudden, new losses that are being reported in this story:

Annual bee losses of 5 percent to 10 percent once were the norm for beekeepers. But after colony collapse disorder surfaced around 2005, the losses approached one-third of all bees, despite beekeepers’ best efforts to ensure their health.

And even though this poster points out that boutique chemical-free beekeeping exists, he doesn't say that such beekeepers have been spared this blight. I don't know if they have in fact suffered less or not, but you'd think that if they had, that would be both something worth mentioning and kind of a huge clue into whatever degree of mystery the collapse disorder really represents.

While this seems like such a pat answer to a perplexing problem, one that fits the stereotype of "oh it can't be that simple" (not that the beekeeping-OP suggests that it is conclusively the answer)...I wouldn't be surprised if it is a major contribution. It's not unlike the housing-crash in which it was so obvious to those in the business that practices were untenable and risked destroying the entire system, yet no one wanted to be the one left out of the profit margins. According to this redditor, such a mindset is consuming the beekeeping industry.

First principles reasoning
> Hitting someone due to software failure isn't any different than if it happens due to a break or cruise control malfunction.

I kind of agree with that. That is why I inserted the bit about pervasive logging of events. This technology will increase that many times over. Any manufacturer getting into this will need that in order to prove beyond any doubt that their software did the right thing.

NOW bugs happens and in this case bugs will kill people at some point. So, can the manufacture be trusted with keeping logs themselves. The answer is no. Not if they have a strong incentive to make it look like it is not their fault. It it basically either their ass on the line or driver's ass. There will always be a question of "ok, so they do show that user pressed the pedal and tried to take manual control of the car, but how do we know they didn't insert that artificially in there...".

I think there will be a need for 3rd party or government mandated continuous logging. Cameras, following distance sensors, accelerators, local road conditions monitoring and so on, so during a law-suit this 3rd party's product (who supposedly should have not interest in falsifying the data) would be used in establishing fault.
I've found the following works well for me.

Every 3-6 months I review my understanding of VIM, browse the help manual, browse the vim tips site, and browse the vim subreddit. I find a few things I don't know but actually look useful to me, and queue them up for workflow integration.

Then I pick one for a week. I consciously keep it in mind, and when I notice I didn't use it, I undo and force myself to do the other way. Eventually it's enough to get the habit. So I move on. Repeat until the queue is empty. Then let all those things settle in for a while and after a few months, go to the top.

The other thing I forced myself to do is: become aware of random frustrations or annoyances when using Vim. The question "is there an easier way to do this?" has a disproportionately high nubmer of "yes" answers, so I track down then and there how to do it better. The reasoning is that - if I'm getting annoyed, it's because I keep having to do something, so right now is a good time to learn the solution while I have a bunch of practice available in my normal working day. The trick is to realize that it's like writing a script: i'll put some time in up front right now, but the work will overall get done faster, and the long tail of future improvements will add up to huge gains.

The final thing to note: I regularly rediscover Vim features. Like you mention, stuff just slips out sometimes, it's no big deal. My current workflow and common command set is different than it was a year, or 2 or 3 years ago. Some things I'm sure I'm less efficient with, and other more. But overall the trend is towards more proficiency and better usage, so it's OK that stuff comes and goes from my awareness :)

And here I thought perhaps the largest driving force behind node was the ability to use shared code on server and client.
half-tongue-in-cheek, half-serious, but ... I wonder if the same thing happens with freelance sysops/devops guys. Most developers like to think they can setup and run servers, so it would be interesting to see the way they respond when they have to call someone in to help them clean up and organize their server arrangements.

Pragmatic Unit Testing in JavaScript
More often than not, companies completely (and irresponsibly) disregard JavaScript as code that should be unit tested. They might test their back-end code, it may be in C#, Ruby, Java, or even PHP, or just about any other language. But there's a good chance that the front-end code is thoroughly untested.

Integration level testing with tools such as Selenium is nice in theory, but way too impractical (you have to set up a server), and particularly slow (loading browsers and computing the recorded actions takes its toll). As such it's rarely part of build processes, and it's run manually (with a single command, but manually nonetheless).

So why is that JavaScript gets treated so differently from the rest of languages?
These sort of "benchmarks" are so subjective that they really don't provide any value. Looking at the framework lineup, a lot of the frameworks at the bottom have so many (tightly coupled) features (which also lead to bloat, like excessive middleware layers) that they're obviously not going to perform anywhere near as well as some of the barebones frameworks at the top. Neat post, but yeah, zero value.
Why not? That's the question to ask. :)
I do (and so do the Chinese; it's the way their system works, along with the teacher following the cohort, which would also be good). I think, realistically, most students will be within a year or so of their age cohort in most classes. If somebody falls more than two years behind, they probably need to be on a different track, anyway (e.g. they likely have a learning disability).

Teaching becomes easier, because teachers aren't trying to intermingle challenging content for more advanced learners with simplified content for less advanced. Instead, they can focus much more tightly on the student's level. Since teachers aren't dealing with bored "advanced" kids and bored "delayed" kids, the impact of class size is reduced.

It adds a burden to the administrators, since they would be responsible for determining the cohorts, but, after watching my wife be heavily involved in school finances, I strongly believe there are more than enough administrative dollars floating around to deal with it.

Finally, it's not the end-all solution. But I think it's a better framework than the current one. Even in the "gifted" program at my kids' school, you can see (and the teachers do an amazing job of accounting for) that some of these "gifted" kids might be amazing in math, yet still struggle at grade-level or a year behind in English. In the "mainline" classes, the inverse might be true, but those kids don't get the extra benefits of the gifted program since they couldn't test well enough on the mathematics.

So instead of guessing, let's implement that corrected version of the node.js application and run the benchmark again.

As other comments pointed already out, the main flaw in this post is NOT that the node.js implementation is not as efficient as it could be. It is that the author choosed to benchmark a CPU intensive task, as opposed to an IO intensive one. This is not what node.js is good at nor what it is typically used for. That is something that can not be fixed without creating an entirely new benchmark.

I certainly wouldn't use some benchmark I'm too lazy to reproduce as a basis for selecting the technology to use.

However, it is good to have a general idea how different technologies compare. If for example you were to decide whether to learn node.js or C#, a benchmark like this might be one datapoint you could use.

One of the succesfactors of the Silicon Valley startup culture is open and honest feedback, even if it is sometimes not what you want to hear. There is not a culture of: "Do it better yourself, before you criticize others".
Just a minor comment: I assume you are well read, but one of the biggest tells of being a clever youth is writing style. George Orwell had some good advice on the matter here:

http://www.orwell.ru/library/essays/politics/english/e_polit

I've taken the liberty of rephrasing your post below:

I'm in high school; I think that we've stopped using
tracking because parents don't like it--nobody wants to
be told their kid isn't talented.

I'm not sure this is wrong. Tracking seems to be more a
function of wealth and parental guidance than of talent.
This being the case, we end up with a system that rewards
kids with those resources and ignores--or even slights!--
those without.

Another awful feature of tracking is that it multiplies
differences over time: because resources are allocated
based on test performance, minor differences in scores
snowball over time--two students with only minor
differences in ability may well end up in very different
classes, with one being trained to get to the next level
and the other abandoned by the system charged with
teaching them.

To sum up: the choice of tracks is arbitrary, unfairly
spreads resources, and is too skewed in demographics.

See? Much more readable.

Indeed. My story from 1999.

Worked at a company that bought a ton of NetApp filers to support a webmail service. NetApp sales engineers swear on their mothers' graves that there is no such thing as fsck for wafl, that wafl always transitions from one gold-plated consistent state to the next with no possibility of metadata inconsistency. OK.

Three months later, big outage. On-site techs report the filers display "fast wack" on the front panel. Call NetApp support. What is "fast wack"? That's the fsck. Assholes!

It turned out that the filer had got corrupt somehow, and wack itself could not comprehend a filesystem with more than 2 billion files. Inode number stored in signed int32. Major, major surgery, hotpatching of filer firmware, three days of downtime, serious negative press coverage.

Bottom line: whenever anyone tells you their filesystem is guaranteed to be consistent, kick that person right in the shins.

The most popular portable media players in the 2000's didn't support OGG. No iPod, Creative Labs MP3 players, iTunes, Windows Media Player, portable CD player w/MP3 support, car stereo's, etc...

Around the mid-2000's, iRiver sold an OGG player, though it was $300 alongside a $300 iPod. Their interface wasn't as good, and it was clunky to use (I bought and returned one). It fell through the cracks like a zillion other iPod competitors.

Also recall DRM was a big part of digital music for a while. iTunes was dominant, and made ACC popular. I'm not even sure you can add DRM to OGG, outside of wrapping the file or watermarking. Watermarking works, but wrapping an OGG file doesn't make it OGG anymore.

So in a nutshell, OGG failed to catch on because there wasn't enough hardware or software support. On top of that, few people knew what OGG was, and didn't demand it from companies. Content owners had no reason to support it as they were focused on DRM. Apple dominated the market and standardized on MP3/ACC.

Egypt arrests scuba divers accused of cutting Internet cable
Writing web apps may seem like the only thing people do lately, but it's not. Given a choice of a number of languages and runtimes available 5 years ago for example, .net/mono was a perfect choice for a daemon dispatching jobs to a number of usb dongles where having a good ffi (p/invoke), nice io abstraction, async actions and database interface was important.

I don't think it's crazy in principle. The average person eats 1-2 grams of naturally occurring plant pesticides every day. They've always been in our food, and our bodies are pretty good at dealing with them (if anything, we're getting less of them now than historical norms, since we tend to breed low-toxin plants).

In practice, it may be difficult to test the safety of any particular integrated pesticide, for example because of political pressure on the researchers [1].

(But then again, people are allowed to sell foods containing evolutionary novel toxins like gluten, peanut agglutinin, and canavanine, with no safety testing.)

Performance is decent enough with lz4 compression and dedup off. Dedup on takes more CPU but nothing even the 2.2Ghz Turion can't handle. Main thing is stability has improved a lot too.
