It sounds like you may be referring to MOV elimination by register renaming, which should make the extra moves no more costly than NOP's. I read that Intel post-Ivy Bridge does this, but haven't been able to find any real documentation. Do you know if this is something one can now rely on, or what the limits of this are (number per cycle, size differences, latency)?
Thanks!

To add a photo to more than one album you can use the 'copy' function. But yea, it would be easier if you could select multiple albums in one process.

Yes, deleting an album will delete its photos. We have a recovery function on our side, but no display for users yet. Will add it soon.

Also, we don't have a way to re-upload photos yet, also very high on our priority list!
To answer indirectly, I have Rokus I use for Netflix. I've always wanted freedom to roam Youtube as freely. That would be enough to make me choose this (if my Roku 3 was not a recent purchase).

Has Google been holding full Youtube navigation as a content card against the other dedicated players? (as opposed to media pcs) Is this where they spend it?
I am waiting for Facebook to start their own AdSense alternative. There is a lot of money there.
Just want to point out that Russia just passed a law banning "gay propaganda" -- their term for saying anything true or positive about homosexuality. The CURRENT government. Signed by Putin. Passed unanimously by the parliament. Did you ignore that fact because you support that law and don't consider it a violation of human rights?

And black people are certainly still widely discriminated against and treated unfairly in the United States. Have you ever heard of Trayvon Martin? The incarceration rates of blacks versus whites? The Republican Party? Its leader, Rush Limbaugh? Voter suppression? The Southern Strategy? I could go on and on. Do you believe that racism is no longer an issue in the United States, because your glorious leader Rush Limbaugh told you so?

> This is exactly what I've been wanting the Apple TV to be for ages. The only thing Apple TV is actually good for is Airplay. There doesn't need to be an OS or a UI for the Apple TV: your phone or tablet will be a better experience for typing and searching for content every time. Its a fool's errand to try to design a UI for a TV that isn't dreadfully painful to use: no one ever wants to interact with something 10 feet away.

Apple distributes a free app which lets you type and control the Apple TV from your iPhone or iPod.

Take a look at FastSpring. Global coverage for developer clients, their end users, payment methods/currencies located all around the world, and an embedded store SDK used to power such app stores as Adobe's new Exchange. Pricing includes international payment costs, int'l tax management, pci compliance, chargeback fees, file hosting, unlimited support, and all the merchandising functionality. Developers save months to years of work because it's an all-in-one service, the features are already there for the developer selling one time or recurring based payment products and services globally.
I really don't understand this point of view. LLVM is really cool, but its not revolutionary. It, like most (all?) other modern compilers uses an IR. GCC - the obvious comparison - has gone through at least two over the years. The original 1987 release had one. Promoting IR as an interop layer isn't new either (1992: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.41.1...). The JVM+CLR were both around by the time LLVM came to be too; CLR was supposed to be multi-language from the start. Modern GCC's IR layers were around not much later.

At the time apple bet on LLVM, it wasn't nearly as polished as it is now: they didn't pick it because it was great, but because of the liberal licensing (just like khtml, for that matter).

That's not to denigrate LLVM - clean, modern code that's easy to use is wonderful - but that doesn't make it a wonder. If I had to guess, I bet it's like 99% of other projects: lots of work, copying good ideas liberally from several sources, and solving the right problem at the right time.

Hi Davey - on your site Publiseek, it is in English but quite a lot of emphasis that is works in FRANCE too. Why is that?

Wow, this is a great deal. PeepCode's main growth pre-dates HN, I believe, but it was one of the earliest screencasting success stories and, I believe, entirely bootstrapped. While more people got involved with PeepCode over the years, this is a great solo founder success story from my POV :-)
This is most definitely illegal in the US. Lotteries have all kinds of rules associated with them, and online lotteries are specifically outlawed. That's why sweepstakes rules normally all begin with "NO PURCHASE NECESSARY" -- it's to legally distinguish the sweepstakes from a lottery.
"Share-based compensation and related payroll tax expenses and income tax adjustments" are excluded from Facebook's non-GAAP income (loss) from operations measure.

Facebook believes "varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use under FASB ASC Topic 718" make it difficult for investors to gauge the "underlying performance" of "business operations" across time periods and companies. Excluded payroll tax expenses "are tied to the exercise or vesting of underlying equity awards," and to Facebook's stock price "at the time of vesting or exercise", which again may obfuscate "the operating performance".

The "not much", at least wrt to user-visible features, makes sense. My feeling is that they save the big user-facing features for the major releases, i.e. whatever comes after Jellybean. It seems like the minor number bumps are primarily for new developer APIs and better performance/stability.

I think this is great, and is a sign of Android's increasing maturity as both a platform, and a UI.

Hi. I work on Facebook's documentation for developers. It's true that IDs are opaque and I don't think that we declare that anywhere in particular. (It's a known unknown?)

I've updated the Graph API getting started guide to mention the fact that IDs are opaque and also mentioned it in our comments guide since comments are one of the few places where we have IDs that are made up of other keys.

Thanks for the feedback - it's good to hear about things we can fix.

Most countries have intelligence apparatus of course, no reason the USA shouldn't have something fulfilling the NSA's role.

But if there's one thing this debacle has shown me it's that there's not just a few bad apples playing fast and loose with checks and balances and constitutional safeguards. The rot extends throughout the NSA, the secret courts and secret oversight committees, literally up to the president.

I don't know what form the eventual reforms will take, but if they're going to achieve anything they will have to be extremely extensive. They will have to go well beyond a slap on the wrist for the NSA.

When I scroll down on my news feed I have to be careful to avoid starting the swipe on an ad, because just touching an ad is a click. Touching a legit news feed item doesn't affect my swipe like that.

The cynic in me wonders how many others are caught out like this.
Disclosure: I'm a Facebook employee working on something completely unrelated to ads, and I always use AdBlock on my desktop machines, but I will say this for our mobile advertisements: they can be genuinely useful. Just last week, I got an "offer" on my phone, from The Gap, for 25% off my next purchase. Claiming the offer didn't send any of my information to the gap, but it prompted me to shop there for pants when I normally would have gone elsewhere, and I actually ended up buying something. At 25% off, it cost less than or comparable to my normal shopping locations, so it was a win for me, and I bought something from The Gap that I otherwise wouldn't have, so it was a win for the advertiser. A far cry from the bad taste that online advertising usually leaves in my mouth.

> Try making an ad with @MagicJohnson or @Oprah shown twitting about endorsing your product without their knowledge, and see how fast the lawyers will knock on your door...

The users did NOT endorse twitter more than they already do—that is, implicitly, by using twitter. Unless their handle is trademarked I don't see an issue.

EDIT: I'd like to clarify I believe that Twitter fucked up, I just think the outrage(!?) is hysterical, proportionally to what they deserve (i.e. "Swap out the handles and avatars and move on, maybe issue an apology to the users and an explanation"). Nobody is accusing them of actually faking endorsements, most people wouldn't recognize the people portrayed and they'd be pretty lame endorsements.
Mainly share based compensation. The GAAP rules are quirky about when you recognize the expense. Last year there was a $1B expense recognized for RSU's issued prior to 2011, which makes the GAAP numbers hard to compare.

I'm just not convinced that something like CoffeeScript would benefit technically from compilation to a different target than JS. When the purpose of a language is simply to have all the features of another language, but with nicer syntax, what is to be gained from rebuilding all of those features from scratch?

The one quasi-counterexample I can think of in that subset of languages is Objective-C which essentially just adds sugar on top of C and can be transformed relatively simply to C (there are library functions you can use to build classes and objects and call methods from scratch, using no actual Objective-C syntax). My understanding is that Objective-C compilers don't go through C as an intermediate, but this is merely to reduce compiling time, not to improve efficiency at runtime. If Objective-C did target C instead, the end result would be identical.

I know nothing about Jennifer or her lifestyle. But it is not that hard for a young, single person whose main activity is being productive to save up 6 months of living expenses.

Use of shared desks costs like $200 a month at places like Citizen Space, so it's not like that's a bank breaker.

If she had a family it would make less sense. If she were living a 'baller' lifestyle, drinking and partying every weekend, it would make less sense. But if she's an unattached workaholic, her life probably costs very little and no independent wealth is required.

The supply of "subsidy"— newly created coins— declines exponentially over time. So a long time before all 21m is mined, sometime around the year 2140 the amount of new coins created this way will be insignificant.

Bitcoin transactions can optionally provide transaction fees which are paid to the first miner to include their transaction. Blocks have a limited size in order to prevent the biggest nodes from centralizing the system by producing more load than smaller ones can handle, so there will be competition for access to that limited space. Miners can then be funded collecting these fees.

I am subscriber to both PeepCode and PluralSight. The high quality of PeepCode's screencasts is something that PluralSight can make use of. Though PluralSight primarily catered to Microsoft developers they seem to be of late focused on creating quality content for open source developers as well. I believe this is a win-win for PluralSight and developers.

Well that was close.... I also have prime so I figured I might get my chromecast quicker if I cancelled my order from google store which I made 4 hours earlier (I went with cheapest shipping).

Click through the confirm prompts to cancel my order from google. Click to buy from amazon, expected delivery date: 22nd of August.

Arrrrrhhhhhhhggggggg

Flick back to the google store tab and find that it has declared that I couldn't cancel my order. Phew.

It's limited compared to what you can already do, but that's because you have a HTPC. Same for people who have a Google TV device, an Apple TV device, a Roku or whatever media box or media center plugged in to their TV. To you and me, who don't mind learning how to use a media center device, this doesn't really change anything.

The Chromecast is a device for your mom; something where she can just take her iPad and press "send to TV" and it appears on her TV.

> what I meant by a waste of electronic computing power is that it does nothing for the world beyond pumping out more bitcoins.

This is a deep, though common, misunderstanding of what mining is for. The purpose of mining is to achieve consensus and protect transactions against reversal. The dissemination of new coins is a wisely-aligned side effect.

The computation here is computation spend making the history of Bitcoin secure and permanent. It's not a waste.
> If we're going to throw away performance, it has to be for a good reason

I agree.

We are losing performance in return for: portability, security and standardization. The web runs everywhere, has a good outlook for continuing to do so (no fat binaries of current archs), and anyone can build a new web browser based on standards.

None of the other options proposed give us portability, secutiy and standardization right now. Perhaps with more work they might, and perhaps JS VMs will get closer to their speed as well. It's good to try to from both sides to improve things, and people are doing so.

I don't think anyone is overlooking some obvious better solution - that fits the requirements - that is before us. PNaCl (NaCl is not portable, so not relevant here) is interesting, just like the JVM and CLR, but they have major hurdles to pass if they want to be standardized, and that effort has not even begun in the case of PNaCl.

Considering a lot of start up founders are pretty much straight of college. And many people develop projects in their own time. I think junior developers are really underestimated. When you hire a junior you could be hiring someone crap, or someone who could be better than your seniors(I've met some bad senior developers), especially if they've been developing code since they 13 or something. Informally those types could have more experience than your experienced devs.

Self taught developers may also underestimate what a cs degree confers. They may not know specific frameworks, but they probably know more than you about compilers, formal grammars, machine learning and stuff like that.
A little bit meta, and to be clear I'm making no assumptions, statements or complaints about here; but it's interesting that this describes the hypothetical junior developer as female. In the following line, why would the author not just say their, to include both genders?
