Every hear of segfaults? They are almost always the result of de-referencing NULL.

Microsoft pretty much let their c compiler rot. It doesn't support dynamic allocation, ie, int arr[numElts];, it doesn't even support var declaration anywhere but at the beginning of a function. Making code I've been writing compatible with msvc has been a pure headache.

> It is on the client, I believe. Literally runs VirtualBox on the client side.

Right, sorry I meant the situation that Arc was intended to remedy (from the site):

> I want to build apps in Python and C and ship them in the browser. I can't.

> I ran full steam into this problem when I built Dirpy, a web app that records MP3s from YouTube. I could have built a native app in Python and C, but to test, distribute, and maintain builds for every OS is a total nightmare. So I built Dirpy as a web app, did all the work on servers, and paid $25,000 every month in hosting costs.

>> Browsers can't run Linux software like ffmpeg, can't run Python, can't reach native performance, and can't make cross-domain requests.

>> ffmpeg definitely can be run in browsers, as can python. How close to native performance needs to be measured in each case, of course. I'm curious if they compared the performance and found it lacking, or just didn't try the browser options at all.

Totally agreed (I was quoting the site there, to be clear) - I am a huge fan of emscripten's approach, and I think it would work really well for this use case. VirtualBox is overkill here, and getting people to install something like this is a huge barrier.

However I still think that it would not be legal to distribute the codecs one would need to do this, and it'd also be against YouTube's terms of service.
Same with me as well, I am doing some work in Forex, but that is proving incredibly difficult. As that is live intraday training.

I usually work a contract job for my University but I get my money in lump sums, so I was thinking I could put a sum into some sort of index fund, or even a currency fund.
I was just hired at Amazon as an SDE and found the interview process to be fairly challenging and technical (but what do I know).

I appreciated the fact that a lot of the interview focused on core data structures / algorithms and not languages / frameworks of the moment kind of thing. It caused me to go back through my university books and study a lot of the core concepts that I enjoyed learning and have gotten away from by doing more menial programming tasks (not to say that I won't be don't those sorts of things at the job).

Also, if they said that they wanted to try me out for a couple weeks I would have refused the offer. I already had a job that I was happy (and well paid) at, so why should I leave or take vacation to move across the country and be tried out at another company?

If you use Milton Friedman's (IMO, most-correct) definition of inflation as 'expansion of the currency supply' then Gold has actually tracked USD inflation extremely well, and the rate is far higher than the CPI.
How about applying real-time effects to the audio? Nothing heavy, but just so they're rarely or never exactly alike? Preferably adjusting the parameters depending on something to do with the event (for example, make the "starred" sound less high pass filtered the more projects the user doing the starring has)... and then add the ability to define and control said audio filters to sound packs. Of course this would increase client requirements by a lot, so maybe it would need to be optional. And/Or you could simply pre-render a bunch of variations and mix between two of them for each playback for more variety at next to no cost.

> Now part of the reason they’re not abused is because they’re — these checks are in place, and those abuses would be against the law and would be against the orders of the FISC

Greenwald has been writing about the total ineffectiveness of judicial checks on state power for over a decade, primarily since Bush vastly increased executive branch reach and began using the state secrets privilege as a protective shield, crippling the ability for courts to properly prevent abuses.

See "Elimination of judicial check on executive power" on Wikipedia, citing an article from 7 years ago (2006):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_secrets_privilege#Elimin...

It seems people are just beginning to pay attention to what Greenwald has been warning us about for a long time.

Very interesting and highly creative. A few thoughts.

1) If a graphical plot turns data into something visual, an audio "plot" turns data into something audible. Your output is an audio file rather than an image or video file. The typical applications of this are to turn a boolean flag into a chime (e.g. text message received). Your important insight is that this can be extended to longer-form audio outputs.

2) When is audio more advantageous than image or video?

- When you cannot look at a screen (driving, working out)
- When there are too many screens (control room)
- In a very dark environment where visibility is impeded
- If you are blind or vision-impaired

This could find real application in cockpits/control rooms, to ensure that a pilot is perceiving data even if they aren't looking at a particular dial. It could also be useful for various fitness and health apps that don't need you to look at the screen all the time.

Perhaps the most interesting application would be in a car, which is where people spend a great deal of time and have their ears and brains (but not their eyes) free. Some ideas:

a) Could you generate different sounds based on the importance of a text message (doing something like Gmail's importance filtering) signaling that you don't really need to respond to this particular message right now while driving?

b) Could you have audio feedback for important things along the road? For example, the problem with the Trapster app (trapster.com) is that I need to look at the phone to see where the speedtraps are. You can imagine an integrated audio feed that could give information like this and also tell you your constantly updated ETA (via Google Maps API call). Or you could listen to the pulse of your company on the road to do something semi-useful, and drill down into notable events via voice.

c) The really interesting thing is if you could pair this with a set of defined voice control commands. As motivation: an audible plot can't be backtracked like a visual plot. With a visual plot your eyes can just scan back to the left. To scan back and re-heard the sound you just heard requires rewinding and replaying. But it could be interesting to set up a small set of voice commands that allow not just rewinding, but rewinding and zooming. So you hear an important "BEEP" and you want to say something like "STOP. ZOOM" and set up the heuristics such that this identifies the right BEEP and then gives an audio drill-down of exactly what that BEEP represented.

d) Done right, you might be able to turn a subset of webservices into a sort of voice-controlled data radio for the road. People spend thousands of hours in their cars so it's a real opportunity.

Cars. TCO has dropped a lot due to maintenance costs dropping. Mean household size has also declined steadily for 3 decades. We choose to have more space and nicer things rather than work less.
If your second generator has an output that is a function of the first then it's not a cryptographic RNG in the first place and then Generator B is NOT fine.

A CSPRNG is a function that takes as input a small set of random bits and generates as output a large set of unpredictable bits. So "Generator B" can be a "cryptographic RNG" and be a function of, or at least correlated with, "Generator A".
Exactly, Microsoft already does something similar by reserving some of their APIs for their own use. There are others that are available to some (eg the carriers) but nobody else.

It's nothing new, they have had so-called 'private' APIs since the early days of Windows.
Have a look at my co-conspirator's blog post about Choir:

http://alexdong.com/choir-dot-io-explained/

We definitely see Choir fitting in where you can't look at or interact with a screen. Cars and wearable computing are areas we're excited about. First, though, we want to experiment on the desktop, find out what makes a good audio interface, and solve our own burning needs regarding more mundane monitoring situations.
I would argue that a world wherein the NSA is not abusing its power is a world wherein that power was already granted them.
Let's go back 50 years: Plausible Deniability.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plausible_deniability
When we began, the idea was to synthesise everything, and have many perceptual variables to play with. Then we realised that we could validate the idea using pre-rendered sound snippets. We'll turn back to something more sophisticated once we start adding interfaces for levels and continuous measurement, and I'm sure that will wash through to more flexibility in discrete sounds as well.
There's only one way to get drivers to pay attention. But you won't like it:

You must get this message across in Drivers Ed class. That's really the only chance you have to influence the majority of drivers.

Unfortunately for bike riders, you then need to wait 50 years for all the inattentive drivers who didn't learn good habits in Drivers Ed to retire and move to Arizona or Florida.

Other than that, I can't see how you get drivers to pay attention. It just won't happen. Stuff like protected bike lanes is simpler.

But even nicer would be streets without any motor vehicles. Imagine Manhattan with the full length of Broadway reserved exclusively for bikes, pedestrians, pedicabs, etc.
A classic case of the wolf guarding the hen-house if I ever did see one.

Ethics considerations aside, the very notion of secret courts and secret rulings is antithetical to the values upon which our republic was founded.

To imply that we should simply "trust" the government after so many instances of government being caught out in blatant lies is a slap in the face of freedom.
So, 2nd degree civil rights violations. Also: ignorance of the law is no excuse.
What process the code runs in is a complete distraction, I'm going to ignore that part. It has nothing at all to do with linking or derivation.

Anyway, we're talking about plugins that upload files to steam with a simple interface, so they could easily be independent code, sharing no internal data structures.

Talking about things you don't know to be true is still a lie in my book. The correct way of dealing with this would have been for him to say - we don't know but we have launched a full scale investigation. He failed to do so, while still protecting the NSA in the face of all accusations and proof to the contrary. Does it really matter if he knew or not?

We'll never know how much Obama is involved in all of this, but another possibility would be that the masses simply don't care much about facts and believe the words spoken by what seems to be a competent authority in the matter, especially one they voted for. Ask regular people what they think about this whole deal, you'll have a revelation.

This is damage control, plain and simple.
Depends on the kinds of achievements? Unless your achievements positively impacted other people's lives, I wouldn't imagine them being important on your deathbed. Then again, I don't have much experience with deathbed regrets.
Or for https (e.g. when developing for Chrome's speech recognition API):

twistd --nodaemon web --path=. -c snakeoil.crt -k snakeoil.key --https=8443

And to generate a 100-year localhost key/cert for use with this:

openssl genrsa -passout pass:dummy -out snakeoil.secure.key 1024
openssl rsa -passin pass:dummy -in snakeoil.secure.key -out snakeoil.key
openssl req -new -subj "/commonName=localhost" -key snakeoil.key -out snakeoil.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 36500 -in snakeoil.csr -signkey snakeoil.key -out snakeoil.crt
I'm not sure what you mean by break, but the comparable time line for Java, and C++ would show far less improvement in terms the addition of programing languages (as in the academic discipline) features (e.g lambdas, closures). They've done a far better job than most languages of actually advancing the language conceptually, not adding libraries/features.
Besides that this was heavily commented a few hours earlier in another thread, everyone can play YouTube videos without ads via VLC.

Is VLC a YouTube application or not? Because it doesn't use HTML[5].
The only thing that's going to matter in effectively reforming medical cost structures in the U.S. is getting a critical mass of people who are shut out from medicine due to the insurance scam. While there are presently some people who are in a bad position, it's not enough people to really mount a meaningful united front. Sure, people are upset, but not enough people are upset in the right way to really make policymakers fear for their careers and/or lives.

Huge swaths of "money" in the medical industry are the result of paper pushing, pure and simple. No one is spending their own money, or even really "real" money: the doctor's bill will say something outrageous for the cash price, because they know the insurers will demand a large reduction, and even though they write "$40,000" for something, they don't actually expect anyone to pay that directly. They expect you to either call and get a "cash payment discount", i.e., something close to what they charge insurance companies (which is still really high, because insurance companies aren't spending "real" money either), or to use your insurer to "pay" the bill.

Remove the lecherous middle-men who do nothing but shuffle numbers around and we can start making progress on medical pricing. This is not the ONLY cause of high costs, but it is easily the largest and most perverse problem point, because this type of billing completely destroys all conventional rules of supply and demand.

Interestingly, the Affordable Care Act does the opposite of this, and strengthens the lecherous middle-men to the point that it will be illegal not to give them money (the government will forcibly take the money from you in the form of a "tax penalty" if you do not voluntary sign up for "medical insurance").

Probably because they don't know it's useless. I use and like C#. The type inference seems useful to me. Avoiding generic parameters on almost every linq extension method is a huge savings in comprehensibility. var x = new SuperDuperLongClassName(); is a nice savings in redundancy.

Where can I see an example of useful type inference?
Implying that I haven't been firing off letters to my elected representatives is an erroneous assumption on your part.

>Ars didn't mention that Microsoft didn't want to play by the rather simple rules of "put the video in a web frame", and that Microsoft admits to re-releasing the application they previously pulled because it didn't follow the rules.

What are you talking about? It says that in the article right here:

>First, the advertising giant is demanding specifically that Microsoft rewrite the application to use HTML5. Microsoft doesn't elaborate on why Google has made this demand but points out that Google's own apps on iOS and Android do not use HTML5. The software company claims that this is a "manufactured" reason, invented only to ensure that the YouTube experience on Windows Phone is inferior to that on iOS and Android.

I agree that using an iframe is going to suck compared to directly playing the video. Do you disagree?

It's a 'simple' demand sure, but it's pointless, inconsistent with other platforms, and lowers quality.

Edit: Ugh, why is your comment still at the top when it is factually incorrect? Am I weird for compulsively downvoting factually incorrect comments?
It may be worth noting that the author, Peter Bright, is the Microsoft editor for Ars. He also happens to have a strong anti-google bias - I can't remember any pieces he's written that portrayed Google in a favorable light.

Sad reality, but one hopes we finally crack the code, so to speak, within our lifetimes.
In which professions is it paid? Teachers / dentists I know have had to pay for their own education.

Isn't the level of personal commitment subjective though? What would your solution be?

I think it's hard for programming because there's such a diverse array of programmers (university educated based on data structures / algorithms vs self-taught that might not know those things). My recent interviews with Amazon tested my core CS knowledge but nothing like frameworks or anything. I suspect those things would matter more at startups / web shops (where I used to work).
Unfortunately, you can't draw any conclusions about C++ from the article.

a. The article isn't really about C++ in any general sense.

b. The author fails to learn the solutions that are commonly used in C++ to solve his problems so auhtor fails to teach the reader anything

The article is about a couple specific design pitfalls that occur when using C++ exceptions and how the author never solved them. The only conclusion is avoid the design anti-patterns the author used.

So what anti-patterns did he use? The author used exceptions (an optional language feature best used for abort handling of RAII operations) to handle return codes from paths inside a function (which is usually handled with error codes, not exceptions). Not a real problem except that the author failed to carry sufficient context through to the catch location and therefore couldn't clean up (although clean up should have been handled by RAII destructors, catch should only ever need to clean up "this", which should know its own state). Author also failed to catch with sufficient locality and hence made his code confusing.

Instead of realising that exceptions weren't well suited to error code handling and he wasn't throwing enough context information and he should have been using RAII anyway, the author wrote off exceptions for all tasks – including constructors (which is a poor choice since it eliminates all possibility of RAII from the program). This can still work but then the author couldn't work out how to write a factory method that potentially returns an error code instead of an object and instead juggled the ugly state problem of extant but invalid objects. Author could simply have returned a boost::optional<my_class_which_can_fail_construction> from a factory method instead of requiring all that nasty state stuff inside his class.

Instead of learning from many mistakes, author blames entire language.
Really? MLB says replay will speed up pace of games
I think that attitude is very naive.

Obamas actions in the near future will reveal all. If he was lied to and deceived, he will apologize publicly and he will reign down vengeance on those who lied to him (unless he is completely spineless and incompetent, which I don't believe he is).

On the other hand, if he knew all along these revelations will simply be played down and it will be business as usual in Washington, DC (although the NSA will probably not make the "mistake" of tapping Washington DC calls instead of Egypt again).
I think of segfaults as being caused by accessing an out-of-bounds index in an array, personally. Yes, you can do the same thing by dereferencing NULL, but in my (university only) experience, overrunning an array came up much more often.
I think it's badass!. Can I hear what it would sound like in a production environment? Maybe just record like an hour or something like that so I can get a good feel for what it would sound like. Github got too annoying after a little bit. But yeah, I really really want to hear what it sounds like for real.

So... This article is basically saying that blocking style programming is a lot easier to read and write, and proceeds with demoing a lib which makes async calls look sync. So instead of doing this in $lang, why not invest time in making blocking style faster on the kernel level? Perhaps introduce actors or tasks in the kernel, so that every lang can benefit.
