I actually have read a paper once on stylometric authorship attribution, part of which was oriented at detecting whether it was a single or multiple authors. I think "authorship attribution" were keywords in the title, but that's all I remember. So I don't have anything more to go on :)
The Only Thing Apple Really Sells
I had a Compaq in 2004 with the same display. And indeed, windows works pretty well up to about 150-170 DPI. But I have a 10" Acer tablet with a 1920x1080 screen sitting next to me, and the legacy windows desktop is basically unusable. Yes, it can be made to work if you are tolerant of VERY SMALL BUTTONS, largely unreadable text in graphics assets, and know where to find all the font settings. But it pretty much sucks, and no one sane would try to use it that way.

In my experience, IE6-8 can handle UTF-8 filenames if (1) the extension is alphanumeric; (2) you percent-encode the rest of the filename, making sure that whitespace is encoded as "%20" rather than "+"; and (3) you put the whole thing between double quotes. Use RFC2231 for all other browsers, although slightly older versions of Chrome and Safari might cause trouble from time to time.

But nowadays I'm so comfortable with just using the URL that the above encoding schemes just feel like unnecessary hassle. HTTP was designed to display the filename in plain sight in the URL, not bury it in a header. Use it as intended and even IE will happily comply.

You need to brush up on your understanding of constitutionality.

That you pay taxes for engaging in interstate commerce is in no way, in practice or principle, unconstitutional. Please, rid yourself of the notion that taxation without representation applies to interstate commerce. It does not.

The founders worked the commerce issue(s) out after learning the Articles of Confederation's approach was woefully inadequate for the establishment and governance of a nation. There is a very long legislative and juridical history you can dive into to fully understand exactly how the commerce powers have been worked out over the last couple hundred years.

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”
I had this exact same thought. She laments the fact that women made so many strides in their professional place, but not in demanding a cultural shift to accommodate work/life balance, and yet this is something men have been suffering from since before women's rights were even considered.

When these conversations get to this point, I would love for us all to stand together, rather than split by gender. It would certainly make the working class that much more cohesive and strong.
NVidia's CUDA only (for now?)

Anyone can explain why opensource projects embrace CUDA over OpenCL? As I understand OpenCL is more generic API which could be potentially used with CPUs and GPUs.
thanks for the reply and congrats on the success.
Very inspiring story.
Kinda OT: what is in 800K lines of code for website optimization? I cannot imagine.
For apps that read a lot more than they write, there exist ACID databases in which reads don't have to touch network, while retaining consistent writes. Datomic is one; for those who have never studied datomic, the database storage is immutable in the same way that Git commits are immutable, which enables a lot of git-like things in your database, like queries without network. That way your apps can be fast without giving up ACID.

I don't know if anything like Datomic exists on mobile; and OP is talking about mobile apps not webapps; so OP may be kind of correct, at least today.
I think the viable scope of such a replacement is there but probably very limited. In my opinion it depends on the type, format, frequency of editing, sensitivity, and many other properties of the data you're working with.

Perhaps the solution isn't sending CRUD mobile, but rather replacing it in some circumstances with more limited, potentially check-in/check-out, simplified and abstracted workflows that make sense in specific situations. Trying to replace it like this in a general sense presents more problems than it solves.
They need money to buy the components to build the machine.

They take pre-orders for one batch of machines. They build that batch of machines. They soak-test those machines, and then start sending them out.

Now, with the money from the pre-orders and from the soak-test bitcoins, they can build a second batch which they keep.
Congratulations! But this is a highly stressful time for parents. Be gentle with each other (it sounds like you are doing that) - both of you are not getting enough sleep, your bodies are still adapting, and you are learning a ton of new things. Do not hesitate to ask family and friends for much more help - this is a time to lean on those close to you, and you give them the nice gift of allowing them to help.

This rough time will pass, most probably in a matter of a few more weeks. You will increasingly be able to cope. Do keep consulting with your pediatrician with any questions - it's ok to ask as many questions as you have. None of us are born knowing how to care for a new baby. If your baby's weight is on target, don't worry so much about occasional feeding difficulties.

If you can afford, absolutely get someone to help with household tasks - the cleaning, shopping, cooking. Talk to the people at work and rearrange some things temporarily - most all of us understand the stress of a new baby - can you shift your work hours? Can you work from home temporarily? Can you work three or four days a week instead of five, etc? Can you take some paternity leave?

Postpartum blues are common and will pass quickly, but have a low threshold for either of you to get an evaluation from MD if depression develops. Keep talking to friends and family and let people know what you're going through.

Humor is a strong and highly mature defense. If in 10 years you're going to laugh about today's 4AM emergency diaper change, you might as well just start laughing now.

Question - are women not yet fed up of being told what to do by various talking heads yet? I thought feminism was in essence the belief (which I subscribe to wholeheartedly) that women have the same power of and right to self-determinism as men? How does this mesh with endless essays about how women ought to be living?

--edit-- (it's entirely possible that most women pay no attention I guess, I pay no attention to people telling me how I ought to live)
This is _exactly_ what Aircell does in the US. I'm not sure what spectra they're using, but the bandwidth would likely be quite variable, as planes with non-directional antennas will interact with one another over wide areas. Weather could also play a part, depending on the frequency.
As a woman, I feel like this comes down to issues with our modern work culture more than an issue specifically for women.
Despite its exorbitantly hyperbolical title, the article contains an important advice:

Having a DONE list in addition to your TODO list is a good way to stay motivated.

I'm using Emacs / Orgmode for my TODO list, and instead of removing accomplished TODO items from the list, I mark them as DONE (shift+rightarrow). That way, it is a lot more fun (and also more informative) to look at my TODO list.

This is also the only reason I am waiting to buy. We do our development and debugging in chrome via source maps. It's a little too much hassle to track down the bug in CoffeeScript based on the JS trace.

In addition to stuff lifted from press releases, it seems to also notice when articles borrow large chunks of verbatim text from Wikipedia.
One reason why lots of things typically use CUDA is because NVidia makes datacenter rackmounted GPU gear. So there is no need to run generically if that is the only available "production" hardware.
Depending on your security needs, you can even go further - two linked bastion hosts. The public-facing bastion host has two NICs, one for Internet, the other one as a 1:1 link to the second bastion host (having two NICs again, the first is the endpoint to the 1st bastion host, the 2nd connects with the internal network).

Then make the public bastion host a VPN gateway so that the SSH bastion host can only be reached by SSH. This way, even if the first bastion host/VPN gateway appliance gets compromised, an attacker still needs a security flaw in the SSH bastion host.

Oh, and I forgot: regularly update your systems! Subscribe to various security mailing lists - this is the fastest way of learning about vulnerabilities.

And if you're running web apps: clearly separate the individual virtual hosts using either a full chroot solution or stuff like suexec/suphp from each other; same goes for the database users. Only grant necessary DB privileges (e.g. no need to give a webapp db user the GRANT capability in MySQL).

If you're dead paranoid like me, set up the application servers as VMWare (or other virtualization) servers, and for each webapp, create an own virtual machine. Then, link the VMs with an internal network and create a "bridge" server running nginx/apache/squid as reverse proxy (which can also serve as SSL terminator to avoid spreading HTTPS certificates over dozens of machines!). Maybe use special IDS software to detect/prevent common attacks like SQL injections. This way, if your web-app gets hacked, at least the attack won't easily spread to the other servers.
Beware the Unstoppable Cyborg Turtle
I think, though, the conversation regarding women's equality has become so mature that now it's sharing an unignorable overlap with men's struggles. In fact, to ignore the fact that it's universal is to do the argument a disservice, and undercuts the entire point.
What you're talking about is that cubics can have real solutions, and yet require square roots of negative numbers while following the formula. This is true, and it is, in fact, what historically led people to start to take complex numbers seriously.

However, the article never talks about real solutions of quadratics requiring square roots of negative numbers. The article only talks about it turning out all right in the end.

What they mean is this. Suppose you allow square roots of negative numbers, and simply work with them using the usual laws of algebra. Sometimes you have a quadratic that results in a solution that has the square roots of negative numbers, and hence the "solution" seems to have no interpretation. However, substituting back into the original equation we can see that they are, in some sense, genuine solutions.

So I would claim that the article is actively misleading to those who already know some of the history, and is less "complete" than it might be, but it avoids talking about cubics, and with a strict and literal reading is accurate.

I'm not, by the way, defending it. I wrote a similar article many years ago, and I did use the cubic example, including showing how to solve a cubic. It was aimed at a slightly ore sophisticated audience, however, and I'm not convinced this article is "wrong" in any important sense.

> Even if you use rigorous statistical techniques -- and economists do under the heading of econometrics, even inventing new techniques -- it's still really hard to draw meaningful conclusions.

Right. That's the problem with too few data points given the number of independent variables that need to be controlled for. I addressed that explicitly.
Wow, tragic anecdotes as a substitute for statistics. Awesome.

Remember, while a collection of anecdotes don't make statistical data, each statistical datum has an anecdote.

Mechagodzilla linked to statistics for auto-fatalities 14-19 from the CDC here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5592730 each and every one of those teens died with an associated tragic anecdote.

An important question

There's lots of research out that shows that teenagers show poor impulse control and practice reckless behavior. It's unclear from the research if that's due to only having slightly less than two decades of life experience rather than slightly more, or if it's some fundamental difference in the development of their brains, combined with surges of hormones that leads to this. It's particularly noticeable among male teenagers. [1]

My assertion is that an unskilled 20+ year old, just starting to drive would be fundamentally safer on the road than an unskilled 16 year old with equivalent driving experience (or lack thereof). [2]

I set 18 as the age since at 18 you are legally recognized as an adult and full citizen, but we as a society have no problem limiting some legal rights and/or discriminating against people between 18 and 21 and 25 (drinking age, car insurance rates and rental car availability). Note: I don't fundamentally agree with this, just observing it when recommending a driving age. The reason insurance rates and rental car availability is problematic for those under 25, particularly males, is largely a reflection of statistical fact. Young guys, regardless of experience, tend to be involved in more accidents until about 25. It's been a while since I looked into it, but I believe this roughly coincides with changes in male hormone levels at around that age. Some more statistics [3].

off-topic, but got to say it:

> lots of people are literally afraid of the right mouse button

...c'mon, when will people grow out of this? and by people I mean GUI designers! One of the reasons I hate the guts of Unity for example is that I can't simply 'right click' -> 'customize/properties/setting' on anything I want to change in the UI. I don't want to go to a 'control/settings panel' (that may not even have the options I care about) to change settings, I just want to go around and right click on things I want to tweak. Or if I want to invoke one of the alternate actions for an UI element. I know nowadays we are designing UIs for retards (pardon, 'cognitively overloaded busy people' is the term) and not power users, but this kind of hidden 'power user' functionality doesn't hinder 'average joe' in any way. This is one of those things that old-school Microsoft UI design guys got right, but nobody gets it nowadays! (it can also be long-tap on touch screens or ctr-click on macs, but you need a universally known way of showing a menu connected to any UI element, a menu that also includes a shortcut to the particular preferences for it)
I'm always super paranoid about this too, but usually you can get back into a machine via console (if it's a virtual machine) or via KVM if dedicated.

But it still scares me too much...

Fail2ban can be used to rate-limit nearly all services that have the potential for abuse. I have it set up to track connection and message frequency, bans on message content (not following protocol, overly large, malformed, etc) and so forth.

Having a system like F2B is nice because it compartmentalizes abuse handling and you can set up rules in one place for all your services, both user-facing and not. Since the rules/actions are user defined, anything is possible -- I've had actions that send alerts to Twitter, a system that distributes bans to hundreds of servers, and centralized logging that gives very good insight into how users are poking around.
there are matrix multiplication routines developed for CUDA. OpenCL you would have to do everything from the ground up. So Nvidia gave everyone a head start for numerical computation, and that edge has ever since snowballed.
I am a woman and I feel disadvantaged compared to men in two ways when it comes to family life:

1) TIME LIMITATION: I need to finish the child-having process by age 36 or so. I want to have a large family, so to have 5 kids, I should start at 28, one kid/2 years. Tracing back, that means I should get married at 27 and find "the one" at ~26. The upper limit of ages to have kids is greater for men, by a decade.

2) ASYMMETRY IN NUMBER OF POTENTIAL PARTNERS: Say, I decide to have a smaller family with 2-3 kids - that would mean I could get married at 33-34 and still be in my productive zone. Well who am I going to potentially marry when I am 33: guys who are 32+ who are not married. Who will unmarried guys 32+ marry: women ages 24 and above. It's not a self-imposed limitation - I might be fine dating 24 year old guys, but would a 24 year old guy date a 33 year old woman, with the intention to get married if all goes well? I doubt it.

So small family or large family, I need to get married by age 27, where I have the maximum number of options to find my soul mate from. Men can get married at 37 and still have many options in choosing their partners.

And the extra decade without family responsibilities without limiting your options for spouses, I would argue, is the biggest differentiator in the workplace successes.
Try programming in both CUDA and OpenCL and see which one you would choose.
For the Falcon 9, it costs about $200k for propellant per launch (Kerosene is cheaper than LH2 and the F9 puts about 1/10th as much mass in orbit) while the price of the launch is about $50 million.
On the contrary, our solution as implemented on our CDN uses a query string parameter numbered 1 - 8 to select one of those sets which are then set by the server in the response. So you can choose it on the fly for any file.

They may retain customers with their ecosystem, but overly-general statements from tech bloggers don't determine what Apple sells. Buyers do.

It's hard to argue that the only thing Apple sells is "an ecosystem" unless that's how buyers buy. Obviously, some don't. Some aren't concerned about cutting-edge apps and cross-platform syncing - they just want a good phone/camera with good navigation.

Apple still sells hardware with pre-installed software, and judging by the design and features in their devices they absolutely know that.

Your response reflects more on you than the author - you are a 20-something who has no experience at all with children/job pressures, and you probably believe in sexism as much as you believe in the tooth fairy.

It's not the same article to talk about this in a gender-specific way - men don't face the same type of conflicting pressure from society to raise children and be a career success. As a fairly recent dad, with a lot of fairly recent dad friends, it's way different for a man than a woman. Everyone just by default assumes the woman will hold the baby all the time, and they catch flak for using daycare, and a million other things you'll rarely experience as a dad. Dads get kudos for doing barely acceptable jobs with their kids and focusing on their career, while women get trashed for the same behavior.

There is this one fundamental physical thing that tends to make me think there is some natural logic to this order - that the woman has to be up at night breast-feeding, and so it's hard for the man to assume the default caretaker role without bottles and other nonsense. But this gets extended to all parts of a woman's life, and I think even today there is undue pressure on women to raise the children (and if you want to do some work, schedule it around your babies).
We've been gender-specific the other way for a couple thousand years. Surely you could tolerate a few decades of the opposite.
Why is tracking aircraft impractical? In university I was involved in building an antenna that would track a LEO satellite (a bit crudely, though), with a pass taking about 15 minutes - that's pretty similar to a pass by a full-altitude aircraft. The main impracticality I can see is that you'll need an antenna pr. aircraft in range.
Really, really cool!

I've toyed with the idea of doing pattern matching (and graph rewriting) on the GPU before but this looks like it's much more advanced than I thought was feasible.

I'm surprised they went with CUDA instead of OpenCL though. CUDA is proprietary NVidea technology and does not work for non-NVidea devices.
A cool app, but a sad statement about the state of journalism that PR fluff is as easy to spot as seeing quotes come verbatim from previously published PR pieces. The more insidious PR can come from spoon-fed "exclusive" interviews and not be as easily detected by this process.

Even better would be something that produced a dossier of organizations and spokespeople...so that you can easily see the potential connections behind any quoted source (of course, there will be false positives) In news stories, someone's role as a shill can be papered over by calling them a: "industry expert" or "author" or "researcher/analyst"
Like others have stated, I think it depends. Look at your target market. If the market is the USA, mobile connections are getting more reliable and really fast (LTE) and this isn't much of a problem.

OP should market this to devs focusing on countries where mobile networks stink.
I've definitely observed both behaviors in Firefox, and to be honest, I'm not entirely sure why. I'll see what I can dig up...
