Every time I'm forced to use a forum for something, I wish usenet hadn't succumbed to spam & binary warez. Many of the clients from 20 years ago have more (useful) features than modern forums.

It's probably about time to reinvent it again, tunneled over Websockets with a Flat Responsive html5 Retina-Aware Interhyperface or something.

Funny you mention quality. The Retina MBP has been plugged with issues such as image retention and hanky scrolling. Not something you expect when paying $2,000+ for a laptop. Stop by the MacRumors forum to see all the complaints.
You pay at least $800-1000 for that $600 smartphone when you pay for it across 24 months instead of paying for it all at once.
> The remaining thing keeping PHP so popular is how amazingly ubiquitous it is. A fork wouldn't have that advantage, especially in comparison to languages and environments that are objectively better anyway.

Initially, I believe you are correct, but I am not sure long term. PHP is easy for a system admin to install. Other than perl, I am not sure if there is anything out there that is as easy. I would imagine a fork, if it wants to survive, would need to be just as easy.

I do wonder why PHP has never really had any competition in the "super easy for my system admin" category.
Awesome. I'm really looking forward to the point when I can kick Gmail and use mailgun as my email service provider :-)

As far as I know, the US market is heavily regulated, with providers successfully suing municipalities and preventing them from building competing services.

Bad regulations is not the same as unregulated.
> "unfathomable" can be interpreted literally in the analogy but also holds its normal meaning

Near as I can tell without reading the article, this sentence uses "unfathomable" with all of its meanings. Which I find nifty.
If the Skylon manages to get built to spec and gets ~30 people into orbit for $10 million per launch, then an eighth of the worldwide tourist budget could launch a million people a year. Though, presumably if you were launching that many people, the cost would actually be a fair bit less.

Something that came to my mind is that the whole German economy, and Japanese for that matter, is in for some seriously choppy waters ahead. I think the Japanese are far more ahead than the Germans, but when you consider just how much of the German economy is dependent on combustion engine driven vehicles there have got to be some seriously anxious people in Germany right now. Worse yet for them if they are not anxious as heck.
I honestly don't understand why everybody uses phpBB. The OSS project that I was thinking of when I made this post (zero-k.info, a small FOSS rts) rolled their own for just the reasons you described - it's primitive in some ways but at least it doesn't page.
I agree that you can't tell where a user behind a proxy is located, so I'm willing to give the NSA the benefit of the doubt on that issue. But the vast majority of domestic internet traffic does not go through a VPN or proxy, so you can tell just by looking at the originating and terminating IP addresses that the packet is going from one place in the U.S. to another. Also, you can probably assume that a VPN that's on a domain registered to a company inside the U.S. that is not selling VPN services to the general public (e.g., a bank) isn't being used by random terrorists outside the U.S.

But the whole business of "parallel construction" where the NSA shares warrantlessly intercepted data with the DEA and keeps it secret from defense lawyers is pretty good evidence that "minimization" is a sham and the NSA is not honestly trying to keep itself within legal and constitutional bounds.

OK, that's a good point, but IMHO the question still stands.

If Cantonese is as different from Mandarin as French is from Italian (though, IIRC, both are Latin languages), then why are they still called dialects?

I see from the rest of the comments that dialect vs. language is political and arbitrary rather than an objective difference.

But the monitoring box connects downstream from the wireless router, though:

The mystery box acts as a Layer 2 bridge for wired devices, but it must sniff wireless devices from the air. The FAQ that came with it strongly suggests that it sniffs all the wireless networks it can see, not just mine.

That's extremely helpful advice.

I'll give you that. No clear direction. As I thought about this a little more in Ruby you have Matz, Python has Guido, Scala has Odersky, C# has Anders (those are just those that come to mind and I'm not sure of the current involvement). I can't think of who PHP really has like this. Rasmus maybe, but I don't think it's the same as the other languages I mentioned--understandably so due to other projects/engagements.
I own two digisparks, and I think the main improvements are the 3.3V/5V and mounting holes. I'm still glad to see more devices filling this niche.
I've never quite understood this statement. Aren't you still going to pay the monthly installments regardless of whether you were in a contract or not? On ATT, Verizon, etc, the non-contract prices aren't cheaper than the ones on contract.

So, at the end of two years, you'll be paying the same amount for your phone bill and have a subsidized device.
I'm not all that happy with mailing lists. Mail clients generally think of a "thread" as a list, which works OK for a back and forth discussion between two people, or for a discussion among a small group of people that are focused on a narrow problem. For a thread that gets big (in participants or in scope), that tends to suck. A tree is a better representation.

A second problem with mailing lists is that unless you keep old messages, you generally have to go to some horrible web-based archive.

Why not use an NNTP server? Newsreaders are great at handling threads, whether they are simple linear threads like those suited for email, or massive trees with dozens of participants and many side discussions.
Acceleration isn't really an important strength of the Aston's, and Tesla gets applauded for its acceleration all the time. So which is the one that we expect to do worse?
Ha, it looks like they changed that in C++11. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/data/ claims "Unspecified or contradictory specifications." for C++98, but constant complexity for C++11.

An answer to http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/124731/what-p... indicates that C++03 doesn't require constnat time, either.

Thanks for the education.
Indeed .. in all the years I spent programming the Z80, I never for a minute suspected it had this ALU architecture. It's not even mentioned in Rodney Zaks's great work.
You're right. However, some telcos do offer cheaper monthly rates. T-Mobile is leading the charge on that in the US.
I love this! The attiny85 has been my go-to chip for the last couple of years. They're great.

Another interesting market for bespoke vs made-to-measure vs off the rack might be concealed carry. It is more of an issue for belts, and then kind of a toss up for pants and shirts. Unless you just go with skin tight clothing, it can be done with regular clothing now, but ccw and undercover people will spend a lot of money. It is a huge issue for women, though. (I know I'd probably never spend $80 on a regular belt, but I bought 3 without a second thought as gun belts, and I've bought $300 jackets for ccw or technical/outdoor use but unless it is a suit from ww chan, wouldn't spend it on regular clothing.)

People with physical deformities (what is a more polite way to say this?) could also be a market.
"Think of EMH as 'how I learned to stop worrying and just buy an index.'"

Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett both advocate this method for the majority of people. In Graham's day it was Mutual Funds -- these days it's Index Funds/ETF's. If you're interested in some grounding, humbling, & timeless reading on it, read stuff by the aforementioned, such as http://www.amazon.com/The-Intelligent-Investor-Rev-ebook/dp/... (no referral).

It sounds like the only reason OP doesn't want to invest is because of high-speed trading and tricky professional investors. But, Graham and Buffett both suggest, with a long enough runway, you aren't even playing the same game as them. It doesn't matter whether you saved a couple bucks on a stock today and if some day trader profited off your millisecond slowness -- if you trust your own decision making skills, you'll own the stock for years and will save gray hairs with their mantra "I don't know and I don't care" (as a response to the question, "What happened in the stock market today?").
I remember the Z80 felt distinctively more sluggish than the 6502 (I had an Apple II with a Z-80 Softcard in it so it could run CP/M). Now I know why.
Yes, and you're forgetting that the Model S has the equivalent of a 2 gallon tank to go ~260 miles. Big expensive stationary heat engines are still more efficient than small cost- and weight-optimized heat engines.

>"In fact, some studies argue that the Tesla battery takes so much fossil fuel energy to make that the car over its lifetime emits more CO2 than a gasoline-powered car."

That car being a Prius, not a comparable full-size sedan.

The study also assumes a vehicle lifespan of 100,000 miles, or about 8 years of driving. I would be quite surprised if an all-aluminum car with few moving parts dies 3 years before the average age of cars on the road today (11.4 years).

One of the things i'm really loving about Square is the utilities that they are open sourcing that are not core to their business. I think this is great for the community.
I was under the impression that the newer chips are able to clock from an external crystal. My 2553 certainly came with one, though I have had no need to use it yet.
Thank you for sharing that with the rest of us.

That's just because of how ubiquitous the subsidized phone model already is.
> If Cantonese is as different from Mandarin as French is from Italian (though, IIRC, both are Latin languages), then why are they still called dialects?

If France and Italy weren't different countries, we might well not call French and Italian languages rather than dialects of the same language. The dialect/language distinction isn't particularly clear cut.

I stopped reading TechCrunch when they switched to the Facebook commenting platform and you made irrelevant comments in almost every single post. Not that I stopped reading because of you or the commenting platform, but it's the last thing I remember about TechCrunch.
Five years from now, the logo will be the perfect hook for articles about Marissa Mayer and Yahoo. If Yahoo does well, the logo incident will show her brilliance and how her hands-on work saved the company. If Yahoo does poorly, the logo will be an emblem of how her micromanagement and distraction from the core business ruined the company.

What I'm trying to say is that the stories told in retrospect always make what happens seem obvious, but looking forward, it's impossible to know.
Let's say you drive 8,000 miles per year and your car gets 20mpg. (All non-metric units mentioned are Imperial: 1 mile = 1,609m, 1 gallon = 4.55L, 1 year = 31,536,000 seconds.)

So for 1 year that's 1,514L. And 1L of super unleaded = £1.43, so you're spending £2,165.02 per year on petrol. You can make your own figures up for insurance and what have you - let's call it £5,000 per year, averaged out. Assuming the Tesla is £80,000, you don't break even until year 6, assuming the Tesla's running costs are £0/year.

If you do drive a lot you'd probably buy some kind of diesel car, so then you could expect more like 30mpg, perhaps, assuming you're going for the equivalent of this 20mpg thing. And the break-even part recedes further into the future, or you can just drive more.

(I've no real feel for what sort of car you'd get for £50,000 though. At a guess: BMW 530d, Jaguar XF, Range Rover TDV6...? Something like that. Are those really the Tesla Model S's natural competitors?)
It's not clear it'll be at a loss over the life of item from that link, it's based on a teardown at release, and it's very possible if not likely the cost will go down.
Parallel construction is much more relevant to things like DEA's SOD or the FBI itself though.

In the NSA's heyday there was simply never a need for parallel construction as it wasn't as if they were going to be bringing up Soviet diplomats on indictments. They explicitly didn't touch people on American soil so the whole idea of 'chain of custody' was almost completely moot.

Even now parallel construction is only a thing because it's that much easier for NSA to run across domestic communications commingled with international comms. Nowadays the analyst may see evidence of a major upcoming crime in the process of their actual duties, which puts you back in Churchill's Coventry quandry.
Yes - let's not forget she wrote this on a tumblr - with a kind of unprofessional-looking freebie theme (Fluid Neue by PixelUnion, for those curious), as opposed to an official Yahoo blog. There's no way Marissa Mayer can't design a decent blog theme (or have one designed for her) - this was (at least, I certainly hope it was) an intentional choice.

"Perhaps you think your E-mail is legitimate enough that encryption is unwarranted. If you really are a law-abiding citizen with nothing to hide, then why don't you always send your paper mail on postcards? Why not submit to drug testing on demand? Why require a warrant for police searches of your house? Are you trying to hide something? You must be a subversive or a drug dealer if you hide your mail inside envelopes. Or maybe a paranoid nut. Do law-abiding citizens have any need to encrypt their E-mail?

What if everyone believed that law-abiding citizens should use postcards for their mail? If some brave soul tried to assert his privacy by using an envelope for his mail, it would draw suspicion. Perhaps the authorities would open his mail to see what he's hiding. Fortunately, we don't live in that kind of world, because everyone protects most of their mail with envelopes. So no one draws suspicion by asserting their privacy with an envelope. There's safety in numbers. Analogously, it would be nice if everyone routinely used encryption for all their E-mail, innocent or not, so that no one drew suspicion by asserting their E-mail privacy with encryption. Think of it as a form of solidarity."

good point. The only issue with Amazon that I found was that the first sample chapter might be 5 pages long, so you don't really get a flavor of the book. I might be wrong though (maybe they now do it by total length rather than chapters)

The author is complaining about lack of vision, leadership and regulations. And most of us can perfectly understand that, except: those are exactly the things that set PHP apart from most other major open source projects.

It is by far the most anarchic and disorganized major OSS project and yet it still thrives. It still moves forward, it still gets better. Yes, it's design foundations as a language are not particularly elegant (to put it mildly), but that's pretty much the only major thing that's wrong with the resulting product.

According to all known wisdom about how an OSS community should function, PHP should have imploded and forked a long time ago. It should no longer exist.

And yet, despite this "I quit" rant, PHP has had relatively few major conflicts. The PHP way is unique, and while it may offend the sensibilities of people who like a nicely organized and disciplined community ran by a benevolent dictator or inspiring visionary, dammit, it works.

I strongly suspect that any successful attempt to solve PHP's organizational "problems" would actually result in killing it stone dead.

We already have Python and Ruby ea. PHP should stay weird.
No one buys an Aston just for the performance. It gets killed in almost every category. It's much more of an emotional connection than anything else. I love them, but know there are countless other cars that can destroy it (911, GTR, etc, etc).
Trees is indeed what I mean by "threads". Email naturally does it, though perhaps some clients have poor support for displaying it nicely. The linear "list" view of "threads" is what forums call "threads" and is exactly what I do not like.

Those web-based mailing list archives, while usually unstyled and therefore "ugly", are well-indexed by search engines, easy to navigate, fast, and uncluttered. They are not perfect, but they offer a much better browsing/reading experience than standard web forums.

Going back to NNTP would be idea. I don't know how we actually do that en-masse though.

Probably something intentionally made by your operator — but in Spain, I don't know of a single mobile operator who does not route voicemail at their own network level.
Admittedly, I'm not too well read on it. So I have a lot of questions unanswered. I'm sure many feel this way: there are times when I wish I could read and understand so many things, but between work, learning to program and my family duties, I feel like I fall behind all the time in other areas.

Thanks for the feedback, by the way.
