Well, the deflection system would still be a single point of failure for the human species. Colonising another planet of the solar system would reduce SPOFs to events affecting the entire solar system - the sun becoming a red giant, a neighbouring sun going supernova, a pulsar setting up shop too close.

Settling on another planet removes species-ending events such as asteroid strikes, global nuclear war, a really bad virus getting out, nanotech grey goo getting loose. The deflection system would only remove one of these.

My favorite part of the article was how they replaced replaced 100 chess players with only 2 Go players. But then the article degraded into yelling about how the Go players were not generic enough to play anything but that one specific game whereas the chess players could also be dropped directly into a bunch of other games.

shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy
angels.

9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

who thou art, the Holy One of God.

1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
him.

1:26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud
voice, he came out of him.

1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among
themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for
with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do
obey him.

1:28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region

querySelectorAll is great, assuming you know your users aren't using IE 6 / 7. Cross browser support is really where jQuery shines.

jQuery is starting to become less relevant as newer browsers start to include the same functionality natively, and I say that as a massive fan of jQuery.

Speaking from experience (myself), I did my time at a camp (10mnths), then like 2 months at a hold over in Dublin (I got violated at Oakland's halfway house, because I had an iPhone and I was creating a program on it).

In all honesty, I think Weev pissed off the wrong people. If I remember right, didn't he even release emails on politicians. So of course the BOP will lean towards appeasing the parties (gov officials) that can make changes. Being in the hole is unusual for him, since he was non-violent, unless he showed up intoxicated (media articles and people for that matter tend to leave out details).

I know it's the beginning of his sentence, but there's nothing you can do...start reading, working out, and writing code (that's what I did). Oh, and everyone in there seems to be studying commodities and currencies (doesn't hurt, cause getting a job will be hard).

ADDED: just read weev's wiki, the feds hated him, I heard (thankfully heard), the transfer center he went to (Federal Transfer Center, Oklahoma City) is NOT somewhere you want to EVER be. And I was told not to talk to the media while I was doing my case (didn't help that Wired and every other tech blog was calling)

Exactly! And when you use your IDE to edit text file they should be listed aswell using the same logic.

When I said 99.9% of my text editing is done in Intellij. I also meant text editing outside of the project I'm working on: various config files, log file parsing, remote config files, ... Except for some extreme case like very large file, I rarely find the need to switch to another editor those days.

Those days there is a large overlap between text editors and IDE. Both have made huge progress, so that outside java or c#, some text editor are perfectly serviceable IDE and conversely, IDE editor make decent editor.
Why not use a polyfill to get the same functionality on older browsers? That also gives you the benefits of better performance on browsers that do support the native version.
Why You Should Switch to Declarative Programming
I was kind of hoping the cover would slide to reveal a QWERTY keyboard, it was one of the main reasons I got the N900 which I use to this day. Its getting pretty dated so it will probably be either Jolla or a FFOS phone, which is looking pretty good too.

In fact, if there is anything low-endish on FFOS with a QWERTY ill probably just get that.

Edit: I should probably say I'm also using a low-end Samsung with Android, and its a pretty shitty experience, although only half of that is due to Android OS (signing me out in weird moments, things unremovable from notifications, poor task management etc), granted Im probably stuck on some old version.
I would have thought the reason behind this was more along the lines of http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month
"But you should always choose to use native DOM methods if they are available to you."

...when you're writing code that has to run at 60fps. The rest of the time, you categorically should always be using jQuery.

The native equivalent is very likely to be what jQuery is using under the bonnet, so jQuery is essentially just a wrapper most of the time. The performance hit from that wrapper is pretty close to zero. It's certainly nothing to worry about unless you're writing a game. The difference comes when jQuery isn't just a wrapper - likely for things where there are browser differences or performance improvements by doing things a different way. The majority of developers don't need to concern themselves with that sort of thing. We can just use jQuery and leave the performance 'hacks' to the jQuery team.

Additionally to that, mixing native and jQuery code makes things trickier to manage, especially if you manage a team of developers who don't all work the same way all the time. "Just use jQuery" is a good rule-of-thumb.

And lastly, jQuery has a vast pool of talent keeping up with browser tech better than you. Even the most avid follower of JS updates can't compete with a team of the standard jQuery draws upon. When a new method gets rolled in to the core of jQuery, something that speeds up selectors for example, your code improves without you doing any work. That'd a massive benefit.

(How much of a jQuery fanboy am I?!)
> The chances of Samsung either making an alternative ecosystem for Android, like Amazon did, or a replacement OS that actually replaces more than 1% of their Android unit volume within three years are about nil.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions as Samsung already have a replacement OS called 'Tizen'. It's already themed like TouchWiz (Samsung's bastardization of Android) and it already supports Android apps. What's more, Tizen handsets are set to hit the shelves this year[1].

I think this is not the case anymore. With facebook, twitter and all the other social networks people interact more easily and exchange resources and information. It's a lot easier to publish something nowadays.

Don't confuse marketing with SEO. Marketing, even if sometimes looks dodgy and it's filled with those awful magic words and phrases, even if most marketeers tend to be full of sh*t and not really know anything about what they are doing; marketing is still very important. That is the key of how to get out of obscurity, not SEO.

I think this is the biggest problem in web development nowadays, clients are really undereducated and believe SEO is a synonym for marketing. And this is encouraged by marketing companies who, to earn more business, fill the clients' heads with crap about SEO and how that is the most important thing online.

And they do this because with SEO you can't go wrong:
- if the website loses traffic: "well that is Google changing their algorithm, it's an external factor, not our fault"
- if the website earns traffic, even if it's because the content is good, the SEO company will try to absorb all the praise.

That's why I hate SEO.
Domains cost ~$10
Still seems pretty pointless to put somebody else in the cell with him, but I guess that makes more sense. My speculation would be they have more in solitary than they have space for, but I'll avoid trying to infer anything from that.
When I was at KPMG, back in the early 90s, all the branches I visited had a similar structure - units of about 20 to 40 people, with an operational manager (OM, usually with senior managers as his/her title) who was not a partner. Each OM would report to at least one partner, but sometimes several OMs would report to one partner, or there would be a department with several units and several partners, where decisions would be made through a board of partners and OMs.

I never heard that this was a uniform policy for KPMG, but as far as I saw, it was how they organised audit, tax, and consulting units, and they used it for offices as small as 40 staff and offices as big as 700 staff. KPMG management back then were proud of how there was workplace harmony in the units, efficient communication between management and partners, and their federal structure (i.e., the top partner is not a dictator).

Groups of up to 40 staff would be around a third or a quarter of the optimal group size that Robin Dunbar posited for humans. Cf. http://blog.sitefox.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Hill_Dunb... - it makes sense that the size of work groups in a large company should be below the Dunbar number, since their colleagues should not only be the people in their work group, but they should try to maintain a network throughout the company.
>Jolla’s handset will cost €399 ($513) and is slated to ship at the end of the year.

I find Sailfish an interesting product due to its technological heritage but that is rather a lot. I wonder what their marketing strategy is for this device.

From a developer's perspective you can't help but compare that price to how much it would cost to get a Firefox OS development unit. FxOS also promises you access to a larger, if less affluent, audience. On the other hand, a higher price might prevent the kind of shortages we are currently seeing with Geeksphone Keon and Peak.
I massively disagree. IMHO JSON is more readable, just as powerful and more concise.
Yes. And Geany is my choice as well. Pretty, good as a editor, with some features of an IDE I never use (but others I do use), and customizable enough.
Macromates made a big mistake on delivering Textmate 2. First, it took ages. Second, it delivered a really slow editor compared with the speed of Sublime and third the communication with the community was almost inexistent.

People often underestimate the power of ed. It's very useful when terminals are misbehaving and curses editors no longer work, or in shell scripts which modify files. (Ed commands in here documents.)

Ed anecdote: A friend of mine once wanted to make an inverted version of sed, which takes commands on stdin and applies them to a file named in the arguments. I think he called it fsed. I facepalmed and gave him my copy of The UNIX Programming Environment.

Right on topic. It may be only a little sidenote in the article, but that is an interesting revelation that is worth investigating further.

It is very strange for a bank to not allow a standard wire to an international account. A refusal with no real reason could be because there is a Justice Department sealed order to not allow money transfers into Mt Gox, or it could be a simple mistake.

Only one way to find out - ask Bank of America.
Agreed, it's not too dissimilar to the old mantra often totted out on HN that a person should be judged on how he treats those below him, rather than his equals - just on a larger scale. (Forgive me for not remembering / looking up a better worded quote.)
US wages for software engineers, even sub-standard ones (wages, not engineers!), are still more, and in many cases much more, than most countries in the world.

I was making more as an intern in the US, that now as an experienced engineeer in southern Europe, and that not considering income taxes (much lower in the US).
I honestly don't like this advice.

Remembering stuff is what gives you the tools to understand - you simply can't understand without a large collection of facts. Facts aren't sufficient, but they are necessary. Trying to jump over the "knowing stuff" phase leads to a very low quality understanding.
I'm sure they'd like to do this, and it'd be interesting to see. I still think they'd hit an ecosystem problem even if they can run Android apps though, namely that Google won't give them their apps in Tizen's store. They'd be able to sideload them presumably, and there's plenty of Google Apps packages around the internet, but most consumers wouldn't. Google are killing it software wise on Android and iOS, and it's increasingly looking like an OS without first class Google, not Android, support, is going to suffer.
Firstly, sspiff isn't dismissing the article. sspiff is making a meta-comment about the article's choices in presenting itself.

Secondly, if it shouldn't be at the top, what should be? I think you are looking at spiff's comment in a vacuum and saying, "This is not platinum-quality comment material!". But there isn't any platinum-quality comment in this page of comments yet. You can't upvote the rightful comment to the top if it doesn't exist yet.

Yes, but, in my experience, that doesn't work very well; it's still taking them into account. But that could be only my experience, maybe it works for others. It actually says that 'it is not enough' to do that, so what does that mean? A lot of spam-site webmasters pipe their mail to /dev/null, so you cannot remove them.
Not only games. Animations, dragging, building DOM - all are critcal situatons where every line counts, all benefit for close to metal code, every ms adds up.
I'm curious - is there actually much overhead if your browser supports these native methods? Surely jQuery just goes straight to them?

For anyone who knows jQuery internals, does it check for browser compatibility on every call, or does it check once, and then hardwire up the correct methods for the next call?
Why Don't Startups Get Their Users To Invest In Them?
Consider that a lot of problems seems "obvious" to beginners who does not know the full literature on the subject, pretty much regardless of subject.

I studied computer science, and during our data structures and algorithms course must have "discovered" a dozen or more algorithms that I'd then find treated or discredited a chapter or two later in our course material.

Sometimes someone out of nowhere benefits from not having been explained why a specific idea "can't" work, but much more often they end up wasting their time on it. And some of them go on to think they have valid, significant results.

E.g., there are regularly people that are sure they have solutions to problems that are reducible to solving the halting problem, but that don't have the theoretical background to realize it is reducible to the halting problem or why that means their "solution" doesn't work.

Club Fed is easy (btw: club fed usually means camp)...they sold cigarettes where I was (that narrows it down since there is only 1 that does). It was hard for my family for me to be away, and of course it was emotionally hard for me.

The halfway house in Oakland sucked more than being inside (they had shootings and people died), but hope compelled me to go there.
I have been consistently disappointed by offered salaries for any position that does not explicitly state a salary range up front, before you begin the interview process. Some of the offers have been so low-ball that it isn't even funny, e.g. offer $85K for a game development programmer with 15+ years of experience and dozens of shipped titles but on the same day offered a student straight out of college with no experience $100k - or - offering $35K salary with basic benefits and nothing else (this was only a few years ago) for a Lead Developer position in Seattle. All I can say is that I laughed in their face and told them they weren't serious.

I just turned down an "opportunity" to talk with Kixeye because when I asked "so what would this hypothetical position you are going to create for me actually pay?" they said they don't discuss salary until they are ready to make an offer. Thanks, but no thanks. I don't have time to waste on losers like that.

Native APIs are the future, and everyone should learn to use them, but there are still too many gotchas and verbosity.
