> 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.

Well, keep scrolling :~)

Especially 'Custom Instance Variables' and 'Custom Accessor Methods' and 'Validation Methods'. I don't think it's controversial that defining derived instance variables, accessor methods, or other derived state on model classes is an unusual or unwarranted desire, yet doing so with Core Data requires considerably more effort and complexity than a simple model object.

Maybe the web-server choice (I didn't look to see what that was). But last I looked at it, the Sinatra router really is very naive/awful.

For the size of the framework, that may be the right choice ultimately.

On the other end of the spectrum is Rails, who've written their own Regexp engine for routing basically. It seems to be generally quite a bit faster.

All major Ruby frameworks have just awful routers though really.
>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.

I think that is just legal posturing to get a higher rate for the patents. I doubt they would block it if offered,say, a couple of billion.
So, now we just have to define what exactly a mathematical algorithm is. Good luck with that.
How can you write a web framework benchmark and not include some of the non mainstream languages with probably the most performant frameworks like Erlang (Cowboy, Mochiweb), Haskell (Yesod, Snap Framework)? That's just wrong; anyway.
The problem is that the database queries were done in a blocking fashion. The test essentially blocks the main event loop which is of course going to kill performance.

That is farther in the future. Shorter term, we could NaCl (not PNaCl) parts of our native codebases, and Chrome VIPs have spoken of this to the press. But it has not happened yet, and some performance-critical pieces will probably remain unsafe.

As noted elsewhere here, Mozilla with Servo is investigating zerovm-ish NaCl uses, _sans_ Pepper. Good stuff IMHO.

I work in corporate information security, and I have a few questions. The first is what email addresses these questions will go to. HR? Random employees? Both? The "Contact Us" address on their website? If it's going to random employees, how are you getting these email addresses to contact the employees? If I say to email John Smith, how do you know if the email address is john.smith@company.com or jsmith@company.com?

I like the idea behind this, I do. It's useful to know some insider information. But it's difficult to train employees not to respond to things that seem like social engineering. What I'm looking to know is, how can I be sure that the people I'm trying to help aren't giving away restricted information to anyone who asks? If I fill in the form and say "what kind of card access system does your company use", or maybe even something as innocuous as "does your company have a designated area for smokers to be outside?", this could be giving away a lot to a competent social engineer. I like the idea. But I'm also a bit concerned.

> Why you'd "manipulated code as data"?

To write DSLs? You cannot use JSON to create new syntax for your language. The whole idea of DSLs is to extend the language for the problem at hand. How would you do that with JSON? Say... how would you write something like CLOS, for instance, using the alternative mentioned by you?

Maybe your option is good enough for a lot of use cases. But what when it is not good enough? Then you're stuck and there's nothing you can do except waiting for the language desingers to release a new version of your language with, hopefully, the changes you need.

> Litters the code with Core Data ism? The same your code is littered with UIVism, NSFoundationsm and etc?

The difference is that the 'model' is what binds all of your code together. The constraints of Core Data therefor introduce tightly bound constraints on all your code.

> Please stop using the word thread and use the word queue :)

Why? Queues are M:N mapped to threads, so they are still threads. Additionally, not all work is always done on queues, especially when working with legacy APIs.

The Play example was totally unfair since it blocks on the database query which will block the underlying event loop and really lower the overall throughput.

Core Data + NSIncremental store with a web api backend does not solve the problem of offline sync. It is possible to roll your own, its hard to get it right. It is complicated by iOS restriction of not able to run your own daemon. But then if I have the resource to roll my own then I would not complain about Apple.

Dropbox does not come close as alternative. Dropbox as of now is file-based sync. Core Data iCloud sync is trying to sync an always opened SQLite3 database file, they do it through database log files. Possible alternatives are TouchDB, Simperium, Firebase but then you have to change your app from not using Core Data. Or rewrite your app to use file based storage as what 1password did. The key is offline sync. File based cloud sync is solved problem. So maybe the way to go is persistent store of client app has to use files.

>>So it is reasonable to argue that Coke has achieved its position on the back of The American Military, but not reasonable to say it achieved it because of US military action.

it's more reasonable to assume that Coca-Cola made most of its money by creating local factories in developing nations which struggled with getting clean water.

This pushed the use of Coca Cola as a health conscious choice. On top of that, the labor was near free by western standards, the syrup price lock is so low, and the shipping is handled by the natives.

Coca-Cola has also been accused of massive civil liberties violations due to their opportunistic nature in South America.

To your first point, employers will generally utilize happier, fresher employees to do interviews for this very reason. It's easier for them to be happier about their company :)

So even though it's probably genuine enthusiasm, it's still engineered.
You can't do much with 3rd-party APIs. For thin objects, a best practice is to keep them immutable by having only getters, but then you generally end up with Builder boilerplate.

Does anyone know why there's not a free pre-print server (http://arxiv.org/) in other areas of science? It's the morning paper of most theoretical physicists, big papers get published there first (and in Nature, Science second), or even Fields medal winners publish only in the arxiv and avoid journals. Why hasn't this happened in other disciplines? Is it lack of LaTeX knowledge? critical mass? ... I've always wondered.

>I don't think that's accurate. We started work on asm.js only a few months ago; at the beginning, we had no idea if it would work, so we just threw around some ideas between each other. When we had something we felt could actually work, we immediately put it up on

As others have pointed out, Mozilla has been less than receptive when similar situations were reversed. I also know from working with the NaCl and PPAPI teams that they repeatedly reached out to Mozilla in an effort to publicly develop a mutually agreeable standard, but they were not well received. So, given past precedent, the way asm.js was introduced isn't necessarily bad, but it certainly feels a bit hypocritical.

>> relies extensively on engine quirks

>That would be a bad bug in the asm.js spec. Can you please elaborate?

Perhaps "quirks" isn't the right word for things that are idiosyncratic but legal either by standard or de facto convention. It's certainly an ingenious way to get backwards compatibility while basically defining a new IR, but it is a bit... quirky.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I think asm.js might really catch on. It could be the IR that finally becomes universal, in large part because your backwards compatibility strategy is so damn clever. That said, I also see a few obvious pain points that will need solutions:

* Reasonable debugging support (maybe just a metadata standard morally equivalent to symbol files)

* Threading (even just co-routines, it seems some behavior needs to be specified)

* Load performance (validation and code caching seem needed, which are very tractable but just mean more work)

Since amazon always takes a cut it stands to reason that if you can fully load a server on a continuous basis, owning s cheaper than renting, regardless of how efficient EC2 is. You should only rent the peak load, not the base load.
A little feedback:

I think the real interesting answers won't necessarily come from the companies themselves. I think it's a good start, but much more interesting from my perspective is what employees with varying opinions--from glowing to not so glowing--might have to say. I think Glassdoor is close, but it's really wonky to use imo. An easier to use or niche version of Glassdoor would be cool.
Those who knowingly violate a known patent makes them responsible for treble damages.

You're not paying your taxes in bitcoin. You're paying an amount equal to your taxes, plus transaction fees, to the processor, who then converts your payment into the local currency and remits it to the government.

It's a subtle but important difference, because the use of non-local currencies in a transaction can trigger currency exchange gain/loss reporting requirements (in the US, at least).

I don't know that I agree with the thesis of this article whatsoever; basically some cherry-picked research estimates "we may only see 1.5 to 2 degree increases, and we haven't had any real warming in the past 10 years; Therefore, we might want to reevaluate the amount of energy and attention we spend on mitigating carbon emissions"

That seems like a pretty flimsy argument.

1. I don't think there's strong evidence that 'global average temperatures stopped increasing.' Many of the world's largest average temperature readings have happened in the last ten years (2010, especially, but even recent reports show upward trends: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/national/2012/13).

2. Cherry-picking a few people whose models show a lower than average range, doesn't tell me anything other than the author of this article is suffering from wishful thinking.

3. The heart of the article seems to be suggesting this: "If climate change isn't that bad, maybe we don't have to do anything about it, " but ignores the opposite proposition. Oddly, I'm not even sure why such an article is necessary since the world collectively isn't making any earnest attempts to curb carbon emissions. Any reductions have been economically based, not environmental.

No, I think this is a hit piece on the climate change movement couched as due-diligence and beneficial skepticism.
> Is the US' international reach down to its military, or its money?

You can't ignore the interrelation of the two. One of the things that made the U.S. rich was our being a superpower allowed us to remodel the world in our image after World War II, making it a market for American goods, and one that operated on American terms. Another was the period of relative peace that we have had over the last 60 years, peace that has been the result of American military hegemony and peace that has allowed international trade and markets to flourish.

If the U.S. had not spent the last 50 years being the dominant military power, do you think it would still be the dominant economy? Money by itself doesn't protect you, it only helps you buy guns. Guns, in turn, let you back every market transaction with the implicit threat of force, and fend of other people who have guns who might find it more convenient to simply take things by force instead of engage in market transactions.
> But this is not the point - editorial quality is not what science publishing is about - scientific quality is the issue. Are the results repeatable and significant? Not is it a convincing read?

This is true, and theoretically something that is quantifiable. Yet it isn't. Not just because of the possibility of faked data and results, but because even self-evident scientific worth is not always easily recognized, especially if it is hard to find in an obscure journal. No one wants to be the scientist who has great findings but gets ignored because the world is too busy to pay attention.
I can confirm that they do.
I grok your thinking.

Some problems have subjective answers. They're still real problems. They still have real questions, and more than one answer can exist.
The problem is that lay people have essentially no ability to distinguish between potential 'last shots'. And exemptions will invite snake-oil salesmen.

It can be frustrating, but the rules weren't created in some blind bureaucratic power-grab. They're responses to actual problems that existed in their absence. They aren't without their downsides, but they remain better than the alternative on balance.

Why TinkerCad is shutting down
Just in case anyone is confused, this is a library for client-side OAuth. That said, it's great for quick test scripts — it made my life a lot easier when I was working on a provider implementation.

EDIT: Although their README only shows an OAuth1 example, check out https://github.com/litl/rauth/blob/master/examples/github-cl... for an example of using it with an OAuth2 provider.
How does it compare to Quicksilver?
I work on a fairly complex Core Data implementation in a heavily multi-threaded app.

It requires a lot of discipline, and we rely on a lot of learning-through-pain since the documentation beyond the most basic implementation is mostly non-existent.

Core Data is pretty simple if you do all of your work on the main thread, but then your'e also blocking your main execution loop for operations that can take a long time. A large save will easily reach into >200ms land on an iOS device, and your app will feel like crap.

Thread safety in NSManagedObjectContexts is somewhat documented, but has a lot of quirkiness to it. There is some general knowledge around what is and isn't thread-safe, but almost nothing surrounding how to build a multithreaded app and not be murdered by Core Data. Much of this is trial and error and observing what open source projects are doing.

Once you settle into a decent threading scheme that won't kill you (probably with multiple NSManagedObjectContexts) you have to worry about communicating changes across multiple contexts - then you delve into parent-child contexts, where the document gets even more bare. Then you get into propagation delays when crossing context boundaries.

Keeping your code clean through all of this is also a challenge. There are also runtime issues - our implementation in Core Data experiences unbounded growth in memory usage on iOS5, but not in iOS6, forcing us to manually mitigate memory use (which Core Data is supposed to take care of), creating even more thread-safety concerns.

All in all, it's a pain, but it's also the only realistic object store/graph on the platform.

Correct, I think it's useless. :D
Right, the line number is mostly just my habit. Occasionally I'll just yank with a regex, ie: y/<regex>, but that usually requires stopping to think.

I guess my point is there are a lot of ways to do things in vim, and even just learning a couple of them is in general quite powerful. Additionally, being able to use regex's with commands is very useful, and something not readily apparent if you aren't much of a regex user.

The line number thing is generally a search to first line (line number is in the ruler at the bottom of my vim window), search forward to last line, execute command. I suppose this is actually an ed-compatible command, older than vi.

There are a lot of variables and tweaking that can be done, and it would be nearly impossible to optimize each.

Similarly, I was wondering what sort of an effect connection pooling would have, as the out of the box django distribution doesn't do that. It really didn't perform too well in their tests.
