> If IE wanted to be taken seriously as a modern browser, as a platform, then they almost need to come out with a blazing-fast OSX version of it, which is obviously never going to happen.

You mean something as "good" as Safari on windows?

The problem is that most of the time the main switch of lex isn't entered in the loop, instead it is called from the many different points in the parser (a token is considered, something is done, then there's a call for a next token). The only case I see at the moment where there's loop over the switch is when doing the whitespaces, that can maybe be slightly improved.

The whole topic of lexing turning out to be slow is really a thing that should be measured. Really intriguing.

Same here, I have a Pi has an rsync remote for my git-annex repository, storing on an USB drive. The speed isn't impressive, but it works quite well.
Good feedback on the pricing page. We're working on a revamp of it now.

We ship worldwide and takes us 2 days to process/print the order...then the only variable is shipping time based on the speed you want (so overnight to ground depending how fast you need it).
Where can I find out the pricing on shipping for each destination?

> An outsider was brought in who knew nothing about X-Ray. I was later told the new manger was hired based on management experience. She spent her first week being trained by one of the temps who had been deemed unqualified for the product manager position. After spending a week training the manager, and being her go-to person for the next three weeks whenever there was a problem, he was let go because he reached the maximum of eleven months on his contract. Since the new manager never completely grasped the program, she asked a select few of the oldest temps to train the newest temps. It seemed to me that these people were not chosen based on merit or capability, but more like she was putting together her own collection of “cool” kids. The best way to be put in a leadership role was be a pretty girl or a dude who used liberal amounts of Axe hair gel.

While that is all true, it is still worth noting that worst case they still cared enough to be disingenuous about their voting records.

If they believed that they could just get away with sweeping it under the rug, they would not even have tried to manipulate the optics of the vote. That's still a victory in the face of all the propaganda downplaying the importance of the issue.

> I'll never understand the stance that the FSF takes in throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

> reasonable, pragmatic and realistic approach is better than DOA.

The FSF is not unique in skipping the "reasonable, pragmatic and realistic approach". For example, the NRA and ACLU also follow this strategy. The reason is fairly simple, any giving in will be immediately greeted by trying to force you to be "more reasonable". The strategy is to push until people move your way instead of towards your opponents. There are risks, but it works.

To put it more simply, the first compromise will not be the last.
Valid counterpoint. Your level of security measures should scale to the importance of the application. I've never been a big fan of web-based consoles for VPS (where you can login to the server even if you screw up your ssh certs for example). However, that ability saved my bacon a few times early on when I was learning how to configure my server on Slicehost. Now, I really wish I could disable it.

The one thing to be remembered is that as customers, we are only as loyal as the company is. When they start doing things that affect us in negative ways, we move to newer pastures.
What's your point? No one even mentioned Safari for Windows and it has no bearing on the discussion at hand.
I really wish you'd just read those threads instead of forcing it all to be re-hashed in yet another thread.

Brief summary: according to the hackers involved, they struck a deal with Linode whereby, if Linode made no moves to disclose the attack, the hackers would shred all of the data they had grabbed. Instead, the FBI forced Linode's hand in the matter. Even if that's not true -- and, in this incident, the hackers came out as more believable than Linode IMO -- there still was no mention of the incident on the Linode blog until after the hackers had claimed credit on Linode's IRC channel and the news of that had started making the rounds. This is identical to the previous incident, where Linode said nothing until after a customer started complaining loudly on their user forums.

Then, Linode wasn't forthcoming with details, despite the hack having occurred a couple of days prior. The second update from Linode came only after additional information had been made public by the hackers, and provided no information beyond what had already become public. Linode claimed that customers' credit card information was still secure, but the hackers claimed otherwise and in the days and weeks following the event, several people claiming to be Linode customers claimed that they were seeing suspicious activity on cards that could reasonably be traced back to Linode (cards that were Linode-specific or used for few enough other services).

The way that Linode has handled both incidents has left me, and many others, with the impression that they simply will not disclose that they've been compromised unless forced to by someone else -- a customer or the attacker(s) -- and then they'll attempt to be very opaque and not-specific about the incident.

It's a shame, because aside from this, I really like Linode. I wouldn't even be interested in looking at other VPS providers if it weren't for this. But now I'm being negligent if I continue to host customer data & services on Linode. I don't know yet if anyone else handles this sort of thing better, but I do know how Linode handles it and it's not good.

This'll be my only comment on this subject. You (or others that are interested) really should just go over past threads discussing the incident.
So, it's not just me! I was very surprised to notice that only 3.92% of visitors of hashtagify.me use IE. Considering how much pain it was to make that website work with IE9 (IE8 was out of the question) I'm afraid I wasted quite some time.

I heard the Econtalk, and he's correct. The problem is that a relatively small number of nonprofits will abuse overhead, which is how you end up with the perennial exposé of some nonprofit where the senior managers drive Ferraris and expense $500 lunches, and then everyone thinks administrative costs get a bad name and wants to restrict them; this is similar to the "every check has a cost" idea Paul Graham writes about here: http://www.paulgraham.com/artistsship.html. Since charities' real clients are funders, charities artificially hold back "administrative" costs, at the cost of effectiveness. Often some form of creative accounting gets used.

In addition, it's prestigious / sexy to see a staff person handing food over to someone, or providing an ear exam to a kid, or whatever. It's not sexy to get a functional CRM or logistics manager or whatever.

> Okay, maybe it should be their choice, I can't tell others what they need to be able to cope with. And my example is very bad,

Your example is very bad. It should be a basic tenant of humanity that we control ourselves, and we as individuals should be the ones making the choice on if and how we're mentally modifying ourselves. The only time that choice should be put aside is if we are modifying ourselves to be a clear and present danger to others.

That's ridiculous hyperbole. The stasi didn't spy on internet communications, while lots of governments in liberal democracies do. So the only thing you have to link the Stasi to the NSA is the fact that they are intelligence organizations.
If you believe the workers are taken advantage of, could be managed in a different way that increases productivity, or providing far more value than they are paid, then you have an opportunity to start a business and profit handsomely at the expense of those "wankers".

I like the point this article made about planing ahead for your procrastination, but I feel like this article could have given more reasons of why to we procrastinate to help us battle it. Take brain brain fatigue as in example. I know that im much less likely to procrastinate if i do things right after I wake up and i have the energy to do things that I dont really want to do.

Ah yes, the environmental movement is just an excuse to increase government power, not to protect innocent people from vicious, ruthless, remorseless businessmen who have no compunction about dumping dangerous waste into lakes that people drink out of and swim in, as long as doing so saves them a buck.

Depends, do people want all the elected officials of that state where one might only be able to vote for 1 or 2 in their district, and all the other information that is being pulled from the api calls now?

I think we're going to get to this at some point, but probably not today. I think with more time, we can get a dedicated server (which would make this task a lot easier), make a more robust tool to include more functionality than this hack, for any organizations that would like use a tool like this.

My hp inkjet has empty cartridges after 14 print jobs of a page or two since the last refill. The firmware on this one is so crappy that it's turned me off of hp printers for good. (And I've had them since the deskwriter era).

Lasers, on the other hand. Cheap and effective. I've got a Brother that's normally $80 at NewEgg/Amazon. The toner lasts 20% longer than advertised, it's fast, and it's never asked me to accept an EULA. I'd buy another one, but I don't expect to need another laser till well after this is discontinued.
So it sounds like part of the problem could be fixed by requiring corporations to report "right-sizing" of temp workers to their shareholders like they do for layoffs.

The concern you are responding to here was my initial reaction, but I think you've changed my mind.

I like this a lot. Not only do you gain experience using commands by setting up your aliases, but you now have a reference for the future and are learning the commands by repetition; exposing yourself to the config during tweaks.

Add in the use of apropos to find appropriate commands (without googling) and learn to use the search feature while viewing a man page (/[STRING] same as vim!) and you're golden.
From my personal experience I can confirm p. 1, totally disagree with p.2 (there are plenty of good and well payed jobs for IT specialists in xUSSR countries).
About p.3 - exploit-selling is not a respectable profession, but in recent 20 years people have seen too many examples of people becoming rich by illegal and dirty ways and this definitely did bad influence.
Pulse of the Alley – Constantin Bjerke, CEO of Crane.tv
Nobody said it was surprising, you're just mistaken in the tone of the write-up. The job of the science writer is to take some science news, explain it, add some context and quotes around it and make it exciting enough to click on and read. To have an excited or entheusiastic tone for a subject, as these wolf researcher understandably do, is not the same as wanting you to be surprised by it.

Also, the advancement of science being reported is not that wolf howls are thought to be distinct, it's that somebody wrote the code that finally proves that they are. Granted, you might've thought that it was trivial code and it had already been done, but the fact is it hadn't been done until now, probably more because of funding issues than tech issues.

Hopefully, this tech (materials and code) will become more commonplace among zoologists, so that the cost of animal vocalization analysis comes down and gets funded quickly across all species. It seems like a promising new tool in the field.

And am I the only one that is thinking of the animated movie "Alpha and Omega" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_and_Omega_%28film%29)? One key part of the movie is that some wolves howl better than others, but they can also learn to improve.
"military service is compulsory for all men when they are 18 years old."

This situation is not unusual in the corporate world. Contractors -- many times temporary workers from another country -- are brought in, kept for a fixed number of months, then let go. This is all done without any clue at all as to how it's actually affecting production.

I worked at one place that was 70% contract workers. Every year, they would have to leave. No fooling around -- nobody worked a day more than a year.

With people staggered throughout the project, all coming on at different times, it was like productivity roulette. One month a team might lose somebody who wasn't such a great worker. Whew! Dodged a bullet! The next month they might lose a third of the team within 2 weeks.

I know what you're thinking; just make a chart and keep track of when folks are leaving. But replacements weren't available until there was a documented need, which couldn't happen until the vacancies appeared. Sometimes then it would take a month or two to get one.

All of this organizational cruft was created at the highest levels, where everything is always peachy. I don't think the people creating this mess were trying to do anything bad. They just couldn't see the impact of what they were doing. By the time status reports moved up through several levels of management, things were looking good. Always.

So don't feel bad. You're not alone.

it is when used correctly within quotes (and used with common charsets, but that's a different story altogether). There is no publicly known way to inject the following when the database is encoded in ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8:

The Wirecutter[1] is a site that lists the best technology to buy. Like this article, it answers the question, "What is the best ____?". I wonder how the Hewlett-Packard Pro P1606dn competes with the Brother HL-2270DW[2].

Google Wifi in Mountain View is horrible, I can't imagine this will be much better. 2.4GHz is always a shit-show in any major city. 5GHz is an option, but not nearly as many mobiles have it, and the available channels on each device vary wildly. Plus that would start creating noise for a certain WISP I have a fondness for and don't want to see them affected.
I'm from Eastern Europe myself, and while I know it's anecdotal only, from living for one year in the same dorm-room with a guy like the ones described in the article all I can say it's that it was not about the money (at least not 14 years ago, when I was still a freshman) but more about "hey, I want to see what this piece of closed-source software is actually all about! How can I crack it?". It also "helped" that we were generally quite poor (we still are, comparetavily) and so it made "economic sense" to spend days and days tweaking with assembly code and what-have-you in order not to pay $4.99 for a crappy music player or something similar, and in the process acquiring quite a bit of knowledge (much more valuable) about how such things work.

And the guy I started talking about now works for a pretty important anti-virus company , he's one of the most gifted hackers I've ever met.
In theory, yes, but in practice it's highly unlikely that the vast majority of people would be able to duplicate experiments and verify results. And I'm not talking just about the "I fucking love science" crowd. Even people working in labs will have a very hard time finding resources to repeat an already published (and presumably correct) scientific experiment instead of doing new publishable work.

For the rest of us it all boils down to trusting those held in respect by their peers and that is a belief system. Occasionally reinforced by shunning the nay-sayers as "anti-science"...
Amazon will realize there's not an unending supply when an unending supply stops showing up.
> Make aliases for most Linux commands.

I have to disagree here: knowing the actual commands and their arguments is far more valuable than the small amount of typing saved. Read the man page every time you use the command if you have to, but at least you'll know why `tar zxf` failed on that .tar.bz2 file.

As other commenters have mentioned, relying on aliases leaves you feeling crippled when working on systems that don't have them. If you're repeating commands often enough that you'd like an alias like nginx-reload for them, consider using your shell's history feature instead.

I also make a point of changing the prompt color on each of my systems, because it's much more obvious than reading the prompt for the $host entry.
