Imagine you lived in the Potter-verse...

Now the species of the tree your table's wood was taken confers it with quite distinct qualities and, some would dare to say, "personality". The particular process used to assemble it may or may not imbue it with additional properties by performing (potentially nefarious) rituals. Ditto for the different substances that may be used as glue. The router bits may have magic properties themselves, even if the table is otherwise ordinarily Muggle-made.

The problem is not that all this could happen. The problem is your mental model of a wooden table is so dissimilar to reality that you have no way of making informed decisions on what piece of furniture to bring into your home/life.
No. Automatic tail call elimination can't be implemented without breaking JS semantics.

Manual tail calls can perfectly well be implemented without breaking anything.

In PC based CNC systems, there is almost always dedicated hardware separate from the PC that is feeding the motor drivers, because Windows and Linux are not true real time operating systems. A cnc system must have a timing resolution much finer than is available in traditional general purpose operating systems.

In general terms, a cnc system must convert high level instructions, like G-code, in to voltage pulses that are fed to either stepper or servo motors.

Some of these calculations are performed on the PC, others are performed on the dedicated hardware. Do steps 1, 2, and 3, send step 3's result over usb to the controller, then perform steps 4 through 10.

Not everyone agrees where to place that barrier.

In the case of GRBL, which is the firmware that runs most of these hobbyist level 3D printers, the entire process happens on an 8 bit microcontroller, from G-code to steps.

Other cnc systems perform almost all of the calculations on the PC, and sends a representation of the timing information to the controller.

Still other systems decode the G-code into vectors and other intermediate representations, and let the controller do most of the heavy lifting.

Some systems transmit their data over USB, a standard ill equipped for industrial environments or cable lengths more than about 10ft. Others use ethernet. I'm sure there are others that use RS-485, or even proprietary protocols.

Is Microsoft accounting for any of these variations, or are they going to standardize everyone to whats popular today, which is usb and 8 bit microcontrollers that can't even create 50,000 steps per second?

[SSL Labs author here.] At this point, the A rating is the minimum you should expect. But, to have a really good configuration, you really ought to also implement 1) HTTP String Transport Security, 2) Forward Secrecy, and 3) Public Key Pinning (not yet quite feasible, but it's getting closer).

The next step for SSL Labs is to start to reward sites when these additional features are deployed.
Thanks for the feedback. Fixing it now.
If I may expand upon what you've said... A lot of this is anecdotal so take it for what it is.

Let's rewind a generation or so and pretend to be our parents. At a very basic level, looking around, I see a pattern of "X went to college, and X has a better standard of living than I do". Easy answer: college makes life better. I want my kids to do that well, so I better get little Sally to go to college.

I don't know whether that's entirely true or not, but I think that college has been the "easy answer" for a generation. Somehow things like work-ethic, realistic career goals, etc. got lost along the way.

I hate the idea that "if we go through college and get the degree, we'll be all set in life." Who has been saying that? Anyone saying that is either lazy or worse. All degrees were not created equal, and it seems that a surprising number of people either honestly thought all degrees were equally valuable or people simply didn't put any thought into their career or life before signing up for tens of thousands of dollars in loans.

If we use the same analogy I had above, I think the "if you go to college, you'll be set" is completely wrong. 20 years ago, the people who went to college were, in general, the more motivated set of people who actively sought to go to college. They weren't just following the prescribed plan, they actually were thinking about what they wanted to do with their lives, what they loved, how to achieve their goals. Now that college is the "default", everyone goes to college, it's just expected.

Anyways, this whole thing wasn't a bash on people who do and don't go to college. Of course there are going to be more taxi drivers with college degrees now: a much higher percentage of people have college degrees now. Everyone is expected and encouraged to go to college. There are still going to be taxi drivers, bartenders and other such positions.
Go to a public library, chances are you'll find some old dude(s) casually watching porn. They won't be masturbating and they'll be very casual about it, and it won't be isolated to vanilla porn too.

Some people react by moving to a separate area of the library, others will be notifying the staff, but there's always a large percentage that don't care.
Is it impressive? Unless Snapchat put a lot of work into making the binaries prevent RE (which, in ios is probably unlikely due to runtime restrictions), it's probably fairly straightforward.

On another note, the only way an app dev could really prevent this is if mobile devices had some sort of TPM or other remote attestation feature.
Agreed 100%. I know many will tear me apart for this, but not everyone is cut out for higher education, and lowering standards does not make that any less true.

There is nothing wrong with skilled labor. We need it and it is vital for any economy. The problem is that many of us teach our kids to look down upon such career paths.

"You're nothing if you don't go to college" seems to be a common sentiment instilled in our children as they grow up. Well, often times you're nothing if you do go to college because a million other 22 year olds with the same middle of the road academic resume graduated right alongside with you. Have fun delivering pizzas.

I downvoted you for misuse of the word abandonware combined with off topic and poorly justified Microsoft bashing.
In our brave new information-sharing world, the time to start worrying is when you create something and it isn't plagiarized.

A couple of years ago, I wrote a job ad to help the startup I was working at hire programmers. I spent a lot of time getting the words just right to attract the right candidates.

And then, shortly after our ad hit the Internet, some other company copied it, nearly verbatim, and started using it to hire exactly the candidates we were trying to reach. [1] And then, a month or so later, I found that the ad copy was making rounds on the usual job sites, having been adopted by a number of recruiters and companies wanting to hire programmers skilled at functional programming.

At first, I was angry. But then I realized that plagiarism is the new normal. If you write something and it's on the Internet, it's going to be plagiarized.

Unless it's not worth plagiarizing.

But that bar is so low that, if you're not hitting it, ...

Terrorists try changes after Snowden leaks, official says
> We've seen no evidence that Obama changed anything about NSA wiretapping

The FISA was changed to require warrants in 2008 (though Obama was a Senator then, not sure what part he played in that as I don't remember the discussion from the time it occurred). The "watch list" the NSA was using was gigantic when Obama took office and was shrunk down to focus on those who might actually impact national security.

> how those drone strikes coming

Better than what we used to do, invade entire countries and drop 1000kg JDAMs everywhere, which involved far more "collateral damage".

That is, of course, unless you're saying that we should simply wait until a group blows up something in America and then go destroy whatever state the operational cell was working out of. I personally prefer disrupting the cell and leaving the state intact (as do the states that we surreptitiously work with...) as it involves less human sacrifice on both sides, but that might just be me.

> the medicinal marijuana crackdown

Yeah, I got nothing. The sooner we move away from giving a shit about marijuana the better, as far as I'm concerned.

> When someone runs and is elected by a majority as being "the opposite of Bush"

They were both "opposite of Bush" so I hope you had more in mind than that when you voted. As it stands though, if you think Obama is just like Bush then you might want to re-evaluate history, as time has a habit of helping us forget the bad and remember the good. There was a reason that as far back as 2004 that Bush was already well down the road toward becoming the most unpopular President in decades, and that's because there was much worse things going on than drones...
fork threads, use MVars, perform STM

As someone who is very familiar with purely functional languages and with multiprocessor synchronization, I must ask, why would anyone want to use any of these things in Haskell? Aren't two of the primary benefits of Haskell the ability to auto-parallelize, and not needing to reason about state?
Top 5 Alternative to Nagios Must Haves
Many devops and admins have used, and in some cases continue to use, Nagios as a key part of their cloud monitoring infrastructure. We’ve had many conversations about their Nagios use cases, likes, dislikes, and the relative Nagios strengths and weaknesses. There seems to be a distinct trend in what actual Nagios users think makes a good replacement and alternative to Nagios.
This is simplistic. Major labels still have the relationships which allow them to dictate favorable terms to these services that supposedly are so great for indies. These favorable terms mean that the services need onerous terms from the indies in order to break even. This effectively means the indies are subsidizing the major labels. That dynamic needs to change before we can argue that this meets some level of fairness.
Things like this don't make great revolutions. People won't care enough. People need to see a real threat to their lives before you can get an uprising. They have to be hungry or homeless or in some kind of actual pain.

Being spied on sucks. I don't want it to happen to me or you. But in the end, the government is only infringing on what it, itself, established as our rights. It keeps the economy moving along just enough to keep food on our tables and roofs over our heads and thus keeps us, in large, satisfied enough to stay home and not fight them.

There are other countries which don't even have a false promise of privacy. Some whose citizens don't eat daily and whose lives are constantly threatened. These are the countries which have unrest. They fight their governments and ultimately cause real change. We have had those situations here in the past. Privacy wasn't what caused it.

You can "#restorethefourth" if you want but it will be like most first world protests. You'll wrap up around 7, go to your comfy homes, eat dinner and sleep feeling completely secure and you'll dare not do anything to screw that up.

Arguing that high royalties make it hard for Pandora to do business is just bullying and threatening.

Oh? If Pandora already spends half its revenues on the music, how is observing that doubling (for example) royalties would cause music costs to eclipse revenues, bullying and threatening? It sounds like Pandora is the one that should feel threatened.

Windows 8.1 Keynote Summary
From what I've seen, it depends on what you listen to. Pop, country, and R%B are largely written and produced by someone other than the performer (hence, they are called "acts"). Most rock/inde/actual "bands" will do their own writing 90% percent of the time.
It is actually possible to achieve 100%, but you have to run only TLS 1.2, IIRC. But that would also make your web site inaccessible to most users.

But don't blame us, that's just the current situation with SSL/TLS. We're only reporting it. BTW, we used to show scores in the result, but too many people were trying to game the system (rather than be reasonable). As a result, we're showing only the grades now. In the future, the numerical scoring will be probably removed completely (switching to rule-based scoring).

As for BEAST, our test tests SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifically, but not TLS 1.1+. So, the way to go with BEAST is to force RC4 with TLS 1.0 and earlier, some CBC suite with TLS 1.1, and GCM suites with TLS 1.2.
That doesn't really make sense. Something's status as "classified" has exactly zilch to do with enabling meaningful discourse, and IMO things that legitimately merit classified status should not be declassified just so we can talk about it.
Systems being open have a trickle down effect of enabling many creators - that means if your kids dont like the mainstream toys they can very likely find some toys created by some small creator. Innovation is correlated to systems being open. Without open and free operating systems / compilers / debuggers we would not be seeing the proliferation of technology that we see today. Advocating for openness does not imply the expectation that every single user will use the schematics and source code to build things from scratch, it just implies that the subset of users who are unhappy with the status quo have some means of changing it.
I used to always breath like that. For some reason, I was very stressed those past weeks and now I notice I am barely breathing. I felt out of breath all week.

Thanks a lot for the link. Wouldn't have noticed how bad my breathing is otherwise... !

It's crazy how stress can affect a body. I really have to get back to doing yoga. Never felt as healthy and good as when I did yoga.
> "that's questionable, but even so, your rights and liberties are violated."

A more pointed example might be: indiscriminate surveillance can be used by corrupt officials for political persecution of their domestic political enemies. Look no further than the recent IRS scandal to see the willingness and ability of people in positions of power using the levers of power against political opponents, even when the stakes are low or petty. The NSA database of information represents an unbelievable trove of opportunity for the very real prospect of the arbitrary abuse of political power, both by people within the U.S. government and by anyone who manages to illicitly gain access to that information (e.g. foreign hackers—and there's some evidence that Chinese hacking attempts on Google were aimed at the interface Google set up to provide information to the government).
It seems reasonable that that part would be struck down later, when some suit is brought over it, or the Equal Rights Amendment finally passes.

well, they still can be compared at some level. For example, haskell type checker is turing complete, i.e. you can do type level computation (see http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Type_arithmetic)
Not to be rude... but are you sure people fully understand this? Snapchats are supposed to be seen at most 10 seconds. Snapchat frequently has little bugs where the snap doesn't show up for it's full amount of time.

I hate to say this because I genuinely like the idea... but this website seems shady to me. They are bragging about reverse engineering an API, and IMO, at best, spamming users with a 10 sec disclaimer saying their photo will be posted online.

Overall: Nice site. Congrats on the technical side. But I really don't think I can condone this.

Place your right hand on your chest, and your left hand on your stomach and breath normally. If your right hand rise more, you are a chest breather, and if your left hand rises more, you are a stomach breather.

Traveling on a Dime
If I'm reading this right, it's saying that sole chest breathing is bad, but it's not recommending "shorter" sole stomach breathing, either, but a "longer" inhaling that fills the stomach followed by the chest? It also doesn't say anything about nose vs. mouth; should I go for nose-in/mouth-out or nose-in/nose-out, and is it different for, say, general cubicle sitting vs. jogging?

And of course they have now also started to talk about a new system, this time requiring everyone to have a smartphone with them ( what will happen if your battery runs flat?).

I denounce Stallman's views because they are plain stupid and not based on reality and don't match with human psychology and sociology. Attempts to portray recent privacy debacles as the proof of Stallman being right are even more stupid, because it has nothing to do with software being open-source, free or not. If my service runs Apache, MySQL, the source is on github, but NSA has access to all the data, how does being open-source help?

People won't start using "free and open software/hardware/web services exclusively", because none of that matters for the end users. I do like and use open source for infrastructure, this is where it shines. But as Joe User I prefer highly polished (and paid) apps to "free" software which is powered by advertising. I am sick of this "advertising will pay for everything" world with ever increasing noise and subpar quality.

I think that depends on how it's done, and the context. For example, I believe reporting things like "some people think Obama is a Muslim spy" or, worse yet, "Is Obama a Muslim Spy? Find out at 11" fits that description fairly well.

At best, it's extra noise in the signal. At worse, it's a annoying way of "reporting" by appealing to the emotions and fears of the lowest common denominator. It's no more journalism than tabloid trash in my opinion. Actually, I'd say it's worse as the unwashed masses latch on to arguments like this and may ignore more important topics either because their minds are full of crud, or because their emotional response has already been tweaked- i,e,. "I can't trust this guy, he's a muslim spy!"

> The FISA was changed to require warrants in 2008

No, it wasn't. FISA always required warrants for certain surveillance, and the 2008 FISA Amendment Act increased the time period for warrantless surveillance, and added new exceptions to the warrant requirements, and it explicitly blocked investigations of illegal wiretapping that had occurred before the Act.
I don't see how that mechanism provides subtyping (which typeclasses do)? Last I checked Haskell's structures weren't structurally typed.
