The author didn't mention racket. Anyway, since the article is a few months old, I went to github and got the new data (as of today):

#20 - Emacs Lisp

#24 - Clojure

#25 - Racket

#35 - Scheme

#36 - Common Lisp

Interestingly, had PLT Scheme not been renamed into Racket, Scheme would probably be the most popular Lisp on Github.
To clarify by "finished" I meant shipping a working version of a product, not being finished with all work on the product.
Great find. I came from a heavy security background and moved to SV where it seems like security is an after thought. I spent many long days and nights STIGing RHEL boxes so I can appreciate this find. Also thanks for letting me know about Digital Ocean, their VPS looks promising and I think I might start using it.

You better trademark/patent/copyright that idea right there before somebody does it and "steal" your precious work :)
ugh, yeah, newb mistake: forgot any sort of tracking. Probably will do some spend.
Systems that rely on GPS are defective in their design. US military systems have never trusted GPS, since inception, because the Soviets had the ability to destroy the satellites and tinker with the RF.

US military systems are inertially guided only accepting GPS corrections within the error bounds of their extraordinarily tight inertial measurements. If the GPS is outside the error bounds, it is presumed to be compromised. There is no such thing as an intrinsically GPS-guided weapon; they are always inertially guided with GPS corrections. Modern US inertial systems are similar to GPS in terms of precision so GPS is increasingly superfluous.

As a consequence, the US military has never been significantly vulnerable to loss of GPS. Their systems were designed, from Soviet days, to assume that GPS could be compromised or lost since the Soviets had that ability. Knock out GPS and you still have to deal with ultra-precise solid-state optical gyros.

Many commercial systems take a cheap shortcut and rely on GPS but, contrary to popular mythology, US military systems never have.
But then you have the same problem on the gateway.

Phone directory = phone book, I'm not sure what your question is.
US Phone system worked this way at least when I was younger; there was a party trick you could do to have someone call your phone, hang up and then tell people to "pick any name and I'll call someone with that name" then pretend to dial and ask for that name, your friend says something "Yes, that's me, who are you?"

My bank never calls me. They send a secure message over the banks online system or leave a recorded message on my phone. They don't give a number to call back, so that I have to look up the real one. Not that those measures would have saved me in this scenario.

Gave The Old Reader a try but it failed to even properly import my Google Reader feeds -- it stopped at the letter 'H'. Also, did not note any feature it did better than Feedly or any of the other competitors.

Feedly is OK, in some ways a notch up from the stagnant Google Reader, but lack of search is so frustrating and disappointing.

this isn't a war on creatives. this is a war on phil fish, who's probably been the most annoying, condescending, gopher-hybrid moron-baby in recent history. phil fish and his ilk can get fucked and go be forgotten as if he ever did anything of note. calling this a "war on creatives" is patently ridiculous, and only those who suck his dick because he's some kind of over-hyped indie messiah would make this overgrown child's "take my ball and go home" stunt into some horrible crime of undeserved victimization.
The first sentence in the linked article is: "The Pentagon has concluded that the time has come to prepare for war with China, and in a manner well beyond crafting the sort of contingency plans that are expected for wide a range of possible confrontations."

I didn't bother reading all of it (it's not something that interests me), but that beginning seems to kind of undermine your point.
This is not the last of the problems we'll have with "the cloud", but I guess it's part of what makes it so exciting. :-)

Many people, especially beginners, make the mistake of leaving the same SSH keys in a certain template or in a snapshot of a virtual machine that they later use as a template.

There are a few files that you really, really need to wipe out from a wannabe image template:

- /etc/ssh/* key* (for reasons explained in the parent article. stupid autoformatting, remove the space after the first asterisk)

- /var/lib/random-seed (the seed used to initialise the random number generator. this is the location on CentOS)

- /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (so that the VM's new NIC - with a new MAC - can use the same "eth0" name)

People who want to do this more exhaustively can have a look at libguestfs and it's program virt-sysprep which does all of the above and more!

Whenever you have many recordings, the thing to do is building a 3D model of the world from it and then keep the camera movements for each camera, if you still want them.

I guess this or something similar to it will soon happen at large sports venues, say at the Super Bowl. It will start with the field, but if technology ges better and cheaper, they could include the audience, too.

Imagine buying an improved version of your memory: a fully immersive recording of your view of the game, with some improvements. For example, that guy that jumped up, obscuring your view of the winning touchdown? In the recording, he happens to sit a few inches to the left. View that a few times and wait a few decades, and you won't even remember that you didn't see that famous moment in sport.

And yes, that can be used for other purposes, too. Imagine that I appear in thousands of photos at some time and place while in reality, I was robbing a bank at the other end of the world.
Pretty convincing analysis. Many of the one star reviews follow a similar template: "I am a [profession X here]" (a jeweler, a freelance video editor, a professional truck driver, a pharmacy technician, etc.). Weird all of them, usually from rural areas, go out of their way to declare what they do for a living.
Not to mention a majority of these "customers"--this is their only review on Amazon at all.
My bet is still on a break-through in write-once storage, which wouldn't just be useful for life logging but could also work wonders with a storage system like Datomic (with persistent/purely functional data structures.)
For me the two big takeaways are the cop who wanted to unplug from Google. This is likely to be a fairly sizeable minority of the world who used to know how it all worked - and just cannot be bothered to learn the new rules.

I am not sure if that's a good or a bad thing - if grandpa is not online can be do video calls to the grandkids ?

The second is of course - I do not monitor these boards and of course the next attempt will not be public. Not sure how to react if a dozen baggies got delivered. Hand it over to the cops I guess.

> But it's not falsifiable if you're saying that cognitive load in the brain causes willpower in the brain to go down.

That depends on how you define 'in the brain', which seems like a waste of time. If I run for a while I can say I've 'run out of energy', and I can do show it objectively, but the question of whether the body has an 'energy construct' is semantic at its root.

Another way of putting it is: treat willpower as a measurement, not as something to be measured. Sorry that I can't force that thought into English better. I hope you figure out what I meant.

One of the interesting things to notice is the title. HN usually has a fairly strict policy: the title of the link is what it is from the original post, without much modification (unless needed to make it clear). A post should stand on its own, without the author's name, ideally...

My initial reaction, I confess, was feeling that the submitter was attempting to discredit the author -- or otherwise, to separate the world of UX research -- by calling attention to her identity as a woman.

I still am not sure I believe that Kathy's name should be present -- I think it has the potential to do more harm than it is of use to readers -- but I now understand why it's there. Thanks for posting this explanation.
Do any related laws require disclosure of paid for or fake reviews? Blogs must state financial interest in reviews they do now:

http://internet-law.lawyers.com/Truth-in-Blogging-New-FTC-Bl...

It would seem this type of action would be done (in this case) by lobbyists (paid for by lobbyists), I wonder if there are rules on lobbyists paying for fake reviews (since lobbyists do have some constraints on actions that others don't).
I think that depends a lot on the time it takes you to call the cops and say someone just delivered 12 baggies vs flushing them down the loo as they kick in the door
Indeed, bitcoin is like a cryptography competition with ridiculously huge prize.

1. Break SHA2 -> control bitcoin generation ($2500 each generated block at current prices)

2. Break ECDSA -> unlock any addresses that have ever sent money on the blockchain

3. Break ECDSA+SHA2+RIPEMD160 -> break ALL addresses, even those that have never sent money.

Incidentally, the difference between 2 and 3 is why it is not recommended to reuse bitcoin addresses.
In Israel it is actually pretty common occurrence to get a card from the bank by courier. Of course, not personal courier sent just for somebody, but the mode of delivery is like this. Of course, Israel is a pretty small country :)

So it's wouldn't sound that outrageous for me. Especially if a courier would give me a time like 10am to 3pm and would come at 3:15pm :) Of course, other parts where they need my card for some kind of examination would sound weird. But I imagine I personally could have fallen for that if the other guy is really good, if not for tiny detail that I don't have a landline for about last 10 years... But the trick with calling back really adds a lot to the deal, all the rest s not that suspicious given that.
Hand it over to the cops, but not before speaking to a lawyer, would be my tactic.
Oddly enough, it can work, if handled correctly. Opening the baggie was a bad move however, and if he didn't have a contact with the cops already, they may take it as intent.

Modern psychology is very much a science today, and if anything, it's like the relativity to neurology's QM. Both are useful and ultimately related aspects, we're just still in the middle of working out the details right now. It's disingenuous to deem either more/less valuable than the other so prematurely.

Ahh got it. Also, the reason Brad specifically mentions big arrays of bytes/strings is that they don't look like pointers. Soo.... I'm guessing you still want to stay away from huge arrays of ints (or whatever type has the same size as pointers on your platform). Right ?

And as for measuring... it's not cheap (developer time wise) to build a realistic enough model of your application and put realistic enough loads on it for long periods of time to test out each of your hypotheses (and GC theories do require long periods of load). So you have to narrow the space of choices informed by past experiences and sometimes by gathering semi-reliable folk lore. I'm currently engaging in the latter activity :-)

Yeah, I get the two confused all the time.

Oh wait
In C, you can't even get user input without using pointers. Command-line argument? argv is a pointer. fgets/fscanf into a variable? You have to use a pointer. Yes, you can tell the students to treat those stars and ampersands as necessary magic that they don't need to understand right now, but you're still using pointers.
I am not going to tell you what to do or not to do. That is something for you to decide. However here are some things to consider:

1. You don't need your father to "want you" or "call you his son" to be happy.

2. You can sell your apartment or drop the mortgage. It is not the end of your life.

3. You can take care of someone else only if you love yourself first. You don't have to take care of your mother.

4. So you quit your job, big fucking deal. You will eventually find another job. Hell, you can find a job making fries. Remember that.

5. Everyone makes mistakes; yes, even mistakes bigger than yours. It is not the end of the world.

Look man, life is harsh for everyone. The world knocks you hard sometimes. You gotta be there for yourself. You gotta love yourself. That is the only way to fight.
In any GC'd language, the less you allocate the less you GC, so "recycling" old objects when you need new ones can help. So where you'd normally make() a []byte, you can instead get one from a list or buffered channel you made of old discarded []bytes. So that gets you back to malloc/free/new/delete, but you can at least do it only for the most performance-relevant allocations in your program and keep being lazy everywhere else.

Another sometimes-useful way to save allocations--not for a cache, but in general--is just to turn short-lived allocations into longer-lived ones: if fooBuf is used and thrown away by each of several calls to obj.baz(), then make a single fooBuf and store it as a (private) field on obj, assuming that doesn't present thread-safety or other problems in the specific context.

There are certainly things you wouldn't use Go for, but now you know more about reducing memory pressure in GC'd languages. :)

I happen to know (no time to look up the patent number now, sorry) that this is covered by a US, and EU patent. A friend of mine lost more than €30,000 to being sued by a firm that already holds the rights to this.

I hope he figures it out before they start trolling him. My friend's “invention” also covered a product on beer-mats and serviettes that would change colour under the same circumstances, unfortunately the patent he was facing down was so broadly written that it covered basically anything that could be used to detect daterape drugs in a drink by indicating it somehow.

Surely the patent could have been battled, but he wasn't in the financial position to do so.
Are you saying bounce back and pinch to zoom solve no practical problem? Are you absolutely sure? If so, you could:

1. Look at the Background section of the patents for a hint. Pretty much all patents have them.

2. If you don't trust the patents (and I won't blame you), ponder why Apple put those interactions in there. Or, even if they weren't just copying it, why Android had it too.

3. Or you could try to use a mobile device without those features to find the value in them. Would you want to use a smartphone on which you have to manually distinguish between scrolls and pinches every time? Or one without bounceback? Let me tell you, I have a Galaxy S2 without bounceback, obviously due to Apple's enforcement. It has that blue glow workaround. Personally I find it pretty inferior.

Heck, even Windows Phone has a better workaround, the "elastic" over-scroll, one that does not seem to infringe Apple's claims. Look at that! Forced innovation through workarounds! And of course, MS went ahead and patented that too, so Android was out of luck for a while.

Furthermore: are you sure that their implementation does not count as a process? And are you sure those implementations can do anything without machines?

I'm curious, because these are questions the Supreme Court itself struggles with. (Not to mention the perennial flame wars on patentlyo.)

BTW, that quote is from the second episode. Can you find a single mention of the word "claims" in the original episode, the one I was talking about in the context of "5000 patents on the same thing"?
If Google had complied, could Microsoft have claimed that Google was censoring results from Microsoft? If not publicly, behind closed doors perhaps.
Low-overhead components
While I agree with the thesis, a contradictory point comes to mind.

We just don't know a lot about how cognitive resources are utilized. Long distance runners know this. Athletes know this. The whole concept of "second wind". Where they find the strength to better their game using way less resources -- after they have been tired. Some type of cognitive resource depletion gives people even more energy and motivation.

While I agree that things should be made simpler and we shouldn't over-gamify things, I don't think we should make decisions with the cake / fruits question in mind. That just provides a framework to dumb things down. We will never enable the users to hit their second wind if they never get tasks that make them crave cakes.

I guess my point is: simplicity is good. Simplicity to the point of dumbness is not.

That´s exactly how dev management tools like Jira work.
> You access object #n by using an index

And in a C (or K) mmapped file, you access the n's object by accessing a memory location. No index lookup, whether O(log n) or a hash table.

I'm indeed not familiar with Parquet - Hadoop failed me so badly I do not feel like I need to keep up to date with every new thing. I might take another look when when it's been around for a while.

> Right now, the fastest way to copy a file is apparently by doing lots of ~8kB read/write pairs

That again discusses reading the whole file. When mmap delivers the huge gains is when you don't actually need the whole file - rather, when you need parts of it that you discover while reading. Which in many workloads is the case (or would be the case if you did not have to conform with some framework's constraints about the order and kind of I/O you can do).

mmap gives you hardware virtual memory and assistance for caching; Every other solution is a software virtual memory and implementation for caching. While it has its own constraints (e.g., you have to store data in a directly usable layout, rather than "disk frozen" layout), if you do that, things do work exceptionally well when you do.

This is why I believe in the federated client-server model. It is much easier to build a system with a few trusted parties that a system with zero trusted parties.

Eg in XMPP, only your server sees your IP address until you initiate some out-of-band p2p thing such as file transfer. Federated client-server architectures such as email and XMPP are also pretty well understood by now, especially email has been around a long time.

Really nice site and execution.

One of the real challenges with Newsstand apps is the conversion of users (downloaded the app) to paying subscribers (monthly, annually). I've seen conversion rates as low as 1% (not including churn) for some very established publications.

So the challenge isn't just getting the eyeballs, its keeping and charging them to make a business. There are some techniques you can use that make an impact.
Hey, we actually have a similar workflow/setup with http://www.feedsapi.org , and forward all full content rss articles in realtime to email inboxes, evernote, instapaper.... we found out , this gives more control to our users.
What I don't understand is this: If you want to get rid of users you already have, why don't you charge them an exorbitant amount? You'll get cash for your effort, and those who really like your product will stay. The rest will naturally leave.

Doing manually what the free market would have done automatically and much more efficiently seems like a waste of their effort.
