I for one find the interface positively infuriating. I don't have it installed any more, but when I was using Office 2011 for Mac I found that its integration into the OS, from copy/paste to basic UI principles, was horrible. It felt, frankly, as bad as using OpenOffice -- software which is designed to run mostly as-in on Linux, OS X, and Windows.
I'm new to Vagrant and Chef but a quick walk through the docs and your idea of container + config management sounds extremely powerful! Chef even has recipes to setup applications and combining that with a PaaS/IaaS should automate all machines.
> Personally, I think imperative code is more intuitive. It matches how people think of operational behaviors.

The masses agree with you, apparently. That's why they sit in their cubes all day writing the same god damn re-implementation of map over and over again

List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
result.add(input.get(i).toString());
}

instead of

input.map(_.toString)

because functional programming is confusing.

Hitting shift-M shift-4 could still be a force of habit for anyone who came of age in the MS antitrust trial era.
This service doesn't really seem like it needs anything in particular to scale; it's just a static asset-load of Javascript. All the "magic" is done by talking to the same iCloud backend that the installable version of iWork does, which was already scaled to the point where this would just be a blip.
Just some feedback for your website: Maybe show a small video of what it's like to actually use the app, rather than screenshots + descriptions what it does. Doesn't have to be fancy at all, but just a demonstration of the actual user experience.
It sounds like Office for Mac is just like iTunes for Windows, then.
Definitely check out Codecademy, read the Learn Code the Hard Way series for languages you want to learn, try and make some tiny utilities for things you need (example: python Twitter client from the command line), etc.

Yes and no. If you salted a plaintext using any hash algorithm, the biggest advantage is on the population, not an individual password; so yes, it is irrelevant for any single password. If you have comprised a database, and you are interested in a single user, then you can easily recompute months. But if you are interested in compromising a large user population, because you want to find the weakest (like find all the users using 'password' or '123456'), then you have a hard time because with salt you cannot find occurrence. People think salt saves everything, that is not true. It only adds hardness to secure a population, not an individual password (because the salt is appended and stored!). Now when it comes to iteration, sure, adaptive hashes like bcrypt or scrypt can make computation longer. That's all. Using sha512 is still wrong: it's a hash designed for fast hashing, not for securing password. bcrypt is slowly broken. Slowly because workfactor is exponential.
Better late than never, I suppose.

I hope the Texans have enough pride in their community to pursue ethical processes toward business advancement. Patent trolls are business poison, but casual disregard for people is community poison. There's no reason ethics should get in the way of profits.
One of the nice quotes from that link by Rich Palmer, who was one of the authors of the scientific work referenced:

If there’s a lesson here, it’s about a widespread human failing. Most people would rather some other clever person distill down all the complex details into a good story for them, preferably in excellent prose. But those distilled stories should never be treated as a substitute for original research results. If anyone really wants ‘the truth’, they’re going to have to slog through an awful lot of turgid and arcane original research and draw their own conclusion.
So instead of exponential growth, each additional suspect causes the total to asymptotically approach 100% of the vertices in the graph. I can't help but feel that's what they're really going for with three hops.
SNMP for centralized systems monitoring, cronjobs for "daemon management". I dislike the tools that take up large system footprints, sometimes larger than the things they're supposed to manage themselves, to do simple things. No, they're not always extensible. When you can accomplish the same thing with a 4-5 line shellscript that takes less than 100k of ram to run, that you'd do with a giant process that takes 40-50MB of ram, I know which one I prefer (generally).
Check out invision and solidify.

Invision is awesome for just presenting to clients but if you're wanting to do UX panels etc I think solidify is better for that sort of thing
My understanding of that tweet would be that he is echoing the general sentiment that many technologists share that the web has made people excited about technologies that were better written half a decade ago.

For example, all the hullabaloo about creating basic sprite-based games or simple WebGL models. Such stuff has been possible on the desktop for many years, but suddenly because it's in a browser everyone seems to lose their mind over the technical amazement of such developments.

To relate this back to the tweet, I believe Bret was saying that Apple is touting iWork for iCloud as a revolutionary product, when in fact it is a pared-down and buggier version of software which has existed on our desktops for years. It's sort of like breaking the wheel to reinvent it.

> The rest is essentially you suggesting that you can manufacture non-reliable evidence and introduce it.

I have no doubt that a judge can and would block the evidence if they thought the intent was to 'corrupt, confuse, or otherwise mislead.' What I do doubt is that the judge would automatically think that this was doing that.

E.g. how is this any different from "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit?"
I think it depends on what you want to learn. If you wanted to learn Ruby on Rails, then I would highly recommend the Ruby on Rails Tutorial [1]. It is about 15 hours of hands on videos and labs, which will help you create a working application. You can also check out RailsCasts [2], which has many hands on videos. Or get a subscription to Safari Books Online [3], where you can get digital copies of the latest technical books on many many topics. You can use these to teach yourself pretty much anything technical. I cannot stress this enough. Get used to reading a book and teaching yourself the topic. Over your career you will need to be continually learning, the sooner you understand this the better!

Zed Shaw has a site called Learn Code The Hard Way -- Books And Courses To Learn To Code [4] which look pretty good. I have never downloaded them, but from what I've read they are hands on labs which teach you Python, Ruby, C, SQL, and Regex. Worth checking out.

I would also highly recommend learning Linux and/or Mac. Just download virtualbox and play around with linux (ubuntu is pretty friendly). Most programming jobs will be simplified if you at least understand Linux and you know how to get around the command line via ssh.

I think you are projecting here. And attempting a moral high ground. Where was I wrong exactly? Please point it out, then you can return to your high ground.

The argument remains the same, I drew a parallel with a current situation to highlight how ridiculous it was to blame the Taliban for 9/11 (as they had NOTHING to do with it). Just as Russia had nothing to do with Snowden (except that he's there).
We've actually had the opposite experience - circus has been nothing but a pain for us, unfortunately. Timeouts with lots of processes (50+), random CPU usage through the roof, and lots and lots of bugs that shouldn't be there.

There was a nasty race condition for a while that locked circus up, and it wouldn't restart crashed procs.
For a while, you couldn't specify a timeout on the commandline - on a major version, too.
It was 1.0.0 in master for a while, and then went backwards to 0.7.0. We were sitting on master for the fix to the aforementioned timeout, and so no updates happened until we realized what happened and then manually "downgraded."

All in all, it really feels like we're either using it wrong (probably, we're adding & removing processes on the fly), or we're the only ones really loading it up with a ton of processes which may or may not flap a lot.

If you don't mind, why are you moving away from supervisord?
I think they mean serverless here more about the user experience because the user doesn't have to install a server to make it possible.

Because there is here as you mentionned Oauth.io server, but also Github server and lots of other servers for fonts/librairies etc...

Nothing is technically "serverless" on the web ;)
The universe is far too big. I mean its really really big. Even if we acquire FTL, lets say in the next decade(for assumption's sake) and start traveling. Its possible given our resources, time and required focus to achieve anything meaningful we may not even step out of milky way for several thousands of years from now.

The milky way has around 100 billion stars. Searching 100 billion stars for some meaningful results is not a Joke. Even if we do divide and conquer or do the equivalent of map-reduce approach to exploring space. There is no way we can get to meaningful results even in several thousands of years from now.

There fore the biggest challenge after the invention of FTL will be how quickly we can multiply spread and explore.

Trust me once we get FTL technology, the biggest challenge will be the dealing with overwhelming size of universe. In fact just within a few years we may even think FTL was an easy problem to solve. Our problems will be exploring the universe within human life timescales, multiplying fast enough to occupy and explore it.

So an alien civilization in some really far galaxies even with FTL technology possibly cannot search for us in the size the universe is.

> It is just the pesky Internets that lets "domestic terrorists" like Occupy organize and share idea. Pesky little extremists forums like /r/news lets people discuss issues outside the mainstream media.

Why does everyone blame the evil MSM? Fox News was started because the MSM was 'too liberal'.

I mean, I sort of agree with your overall point, but if you want to see what 'domestic terrorists' could do before the Internet then you need not look any further than Weather Underground (70s-80s) or the various radical right-wing organizations that hit their peak in the 90s with the Oklahoma City bombing.

You know what killed Occupy? Occupy! No goal, no purpose, just "we hate the bankers and we hate the gub'mint!". Well, take a number, guys, you can get in line with practically the whole rest of the country.

But don't try to pin that on suppression of alternative media. Alternative media is out there, and it's been out there. The technology used to spread the message has changed, but the message has always been available. It's just that no one actually cares.

It shows up under the reporting of the Windows Phone Division

Windows Phone exists in the entertainment division, which is a division that neither pulls in big numbers, nor actually produces a profit. For the most recent quarter it still lost over $100MM.

If these massive Android profits are hidden in there -- in a division that hosts both the xbox and Windows Phone, and has revenue of just two billion a quarter -- then it can't be very big.

The estimate is Microsoft gets about $8 for each Android device sold

There are about 1.5 million Android devices sold a day. Do you think Microsoft is making $360 million a month from Android? $4.3 billion a year?

There is no universe where that is even remotely close to accurate, or Microsoft would be screaming from the mountaintops about their incredible, pure profit success. Instead they have to stuff the purported earnings into a nebulous division.

The scary part is that this line of thinking is not entirely untrue seeing as civilian casualties have a way of radicalizing young men in search of revenge.

The REALLY scary part where America goes from being a misguided but well-intentioned brute to a completely evil, opportunistic warmonger is when you think about the data that the US intelligence and military complex has access to. Don't they know that their war is creating more enemy combatants with each and every civilian casualty, and if they know that then why are they steadfastly continuing with their campaign as if it's actually producing positive results.
I suppose we shouldn't expect Firefox compatibility anytime soon? The iCloud calendar icon's been broken on Firefox for a while now:

Several simplifying assumptions were made; in a real world scenario you would have a certain number of duplicates that is shared with any given contact; but the overlap of redundancies between contacts is going to be low. You also need to figure that some of your contacts have an order of magnitude more contacts than your your average contact, and that they are more likely be connected to other super-connectors. So your second order-contacts are likely to be richer in people who have more contacts than the average networker...

Even building a decent estimator for this sort of problem is a hard problem; since you need to get some good estimates for a number of distributions ( number of contacts, number of duplicates between pairs of contacts, number super-connector bilateral contacts, etc.).

My general sense is that duplication of contacts has little effect on the number of contacts of contacts of contacts; and that the number of super-connectors you know would have a greater impact.

Congress has approved this "armed conflict". Though, it's not actually legally clear that the President may not use any military force anywhere without Congress's say so.

Obviously, but that is true for essentially every war ever. It's one of the reasons war is bad, if it only affected those who volunteered for it it would simply be another sporting event...

That NYT article you linked to came to mind when I was reading this link as well, especially this quote from the Pakistani administration:

also nong(农) is the character for migrant worker(农民) which are look down upon in china as poor peasants who come to big city looking for work in manual labor jobs. So it is like calling them a code peasant or something like that. It is really meant as a self depreciating kind of insult. The character nong(农) is always used to describe someone who does menial jobs like manual labor or farming

Yeah, I took a shortcut when I said FEMA loans, it's not directly from FEMA but they'll help you with the SBA to get a disaster loan.

Pretty nice to have a safety net, but the government can be picky too. Many people I know got rejected for loans after the Northridge earthquake 20 years ago for trying to make a quick buck selling batteries etc. way above the regular price. FEMA people commented to my parents (they owned a small biz at the time) that they were one of the handful of businesses that didn't price gouge anyone within the area. I had no idea the government could pay so much attention to what people were doing in such a big area.
I wasn't really criticizing you as much as the concept of describing relativity as a tradeoff between the two. I don't think that helps enough to overcome the misunderstandings it can cause.
I don't know where the hell that came from, but I just laughed my arse off for a good quarter hour over here!
Just remember that this is true only in special relativity.

It is NOT true in general relativity, which means it's true only as an idea to understand things - the real universe does not follow that equation.

The robots that drop bombs from the sky could never be the good guys. Who would go see such a film?
The various international laws and treaties covering the Law of Armed Conflict actually allow for a neutral country to permit military action against unlawful combatants that have taken refuge in their territory. There is no need for them to be camping out in a 'war zone' with a 'Please Bomb Me' sign hooked up to their building.

Otherwise, what legal basis would nations have for taking military action against pirates on the high seas (the other famous example of non-state actors at war with nations)?
It sure takes a hell of a lot of killing to reach peace.
The ZeroMQ guide has a number of sections on discovery: http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all#Discovery However, you could also use something like zookeeper.

The guide is a fascinating read. Even if you never write anything using ZeroMQ, it's a very useful intro to designing concurrent message passing systems.
Situation is largely similar to nuclear power. Though it had drastic implication for energy it could also be potentially a weapon and it is.

I believe it will be the case even with warp-drive technology too.

As always some people will always have something to fight on. I don't believe situation will change once we get access to colonizing the vast size of the universe. We will have everything(good and bad things) except that at the scale of universe now.

Stretch Goals Are Important
I agree that intent can be meaningful in a court of law. But try the intent excuse with a woman or in a business transaction and it might not matter. Sure it could, but it's usually the end result that really matters. Intent translates to something along the lines of, "I tried, but something happened and now you're not getting what you expected" -- sounds like falling short to me. I'd much rather just get exactly what is expected and agreed upon.

Why not use a secondary storage for the large chunks of data, and pass a unique identifier to zeromq?
also, something like tineye can be used to retrieve web-sourced images for comparison, which would make any hidden data really obvious (and a smooth gradient would be even more suspicious if the lowest bits weren't smooth).

Smooth gradients are only smooth if you add noise to the lower bits, due to having only 256 color levels per channel. A comparison: http://imgur.com/0cJWm8t

Those color bands are indeed only one color value apart per channel; the first visible band is rgb(50, 120, 50), while the second is rgb(51, 119, 51).

Presumably Marissa has better things to do—being the CEO of Yahoo and all—than wandering around the internet defending her reputation. I'm confident she needs no protection, I'm trying to protect HN from becoming as misogynistic as the rest of the industry is.
