Have to agree that the JVM's long startup time is pretty overblown. It is a fraction of the total startup time of a typical app and there are quite a few caching solutions e.g Drip already.

And IMHO one technology is responsible for much of the hatred towards Java and that is Spring.

Looks like the PSP re-release was Japan only. :(
Another fan here. Played them all a lot, from the original TA + expansions, TA Spring (loved how long-range bullets literally bounced back off the shields), and the Supreme Commander series.

So far I think the best in the series was Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (not Supreme Commander II).

I backed & am greatly looking forward to Planetary Annihilation (though not too excited about the cartoony art-work). Just made a donation to 0AD too.
It's not squatting. Squatting is registering a domain for its own sake. Sometimes you register domains for projects and then those projects never get off the ground. I have a dozen domains (I defensively registered all the top TLDs) expiring in 4 days for just that reason.

There are already very successful domain trading platforms around (http://www.sedo.com). I can't really figure out what namebox's unique value proposition is.
I agree with your sentiment but when someone comes along with the smart idea of running a knife between the business end of the OS and the driver stack we end up with abominations like UEFI that just push the OS's duties in to the firmware.

The API of a driver is just as important as the bits they twiddle because it insidiously chains you to a particular abstraction model, i.e. a specific state machine you're building on top of hardware state. This is why Linux doesn't maintain a stable driver API. If you enforce driver API stability then you're boned down the line when it comes to moving from, say, a synchronous model to an asynchronous one.

Um, so you realize that the BEAST attack is pretty TLS (and heck, pretty implementation specific --- it only works against certain websockets implementation). That's because it is a chosen-plaintext attack, so it is dependent on TLS being used to encrypt Javascript, where the Javascript libraries are hosted on a server under the attacker's control.

Also, remember in the early 90's, when IPSEC was still going through its indeterminable standardization process, this was pre-AES, and most of us were still using DES (or if we could afford the CPU --- CPU's were much slower back then) 3DES. Heck, some of this work was going on before Javascript was even invented! :-)

BTW, I was wrong, the comments about not using a counter did make it into an RFC. See RFC 2405, which does state that using a counter or some other low-hamming distance is preferred.

Note that there are dangers with using a random IV --- if you do this, the RNG used to generate your IV's had better be independent of the RNG used to generate your session keys, or else you might potentially leak information about your RNG state that might be yet another wedge into attacking the crypto. (In particular, I would NOT recommend using RDRAND in bare fashion --- see comments on my G+ post #ThinkLikeTheNSA --- about what fun and games you might have if you could compromise the RDRAND instructuction.)

If you really want to be paranoid, generate a separate key (different from the key used for encryption and for generation of the MAC) and use that key as the basis of a Cyptographic RNG, and then use the output of that CRNG for your IV.
Not bad. I always look at the Dokkodo to motivate myself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dokk%C5%8Dd%C5%8D . I sense some similarities.
That's probably true, but some of the Go creators (Pike for example) have been saying very negative things abut Java since long before the Oracle lawsuits. Often in fairly trollish ways.
I highly dislike this negative attitude towards domain name trading and ownership.

You are absolutely right when it comes down to trademarked names or typos when somebody's rights are getting abused. But other than that banning the ownership of domains which one doesn't use is just ludicrous.

It is almost like arguing that any real estate ownership should be forbidden that goes beyond the personal use. A deeply anti-free market attitude that has in my view no place in reality.

The simplicity of this service and the free listing model could make it a real contender as a Flippa.com alternative. As others have already commented, there is still a lot of room for improvement (payment methods, improved bidding system, etc), but I could definitely see this in future iterations of the service if it were to gain enough traction.

As an immediate suggestion to the developer, it'd be nice if the registration, login, and dashboard areas were secured (HTTPS). Everything appears to be transmitted over HTTP at the moment.

In any case, kudos on the launch - this could definitely shape up to be a pretty solid service.

The primary reason we didn't use them was the lack of several features we needed.

We're not really concerned about the existing services adding the missing features - what we really wish to find out is whether or not there exist (at least a decent sized) market for such a service.
> The aversion to Haskell is so severe that when we discussed a hardware style here at Google, one person suggested banning any Haskell based solution

...curious, but why would folks in this field even care about what programming language is this based on? Theoretically abusing the concept, wouldn't you just use something Brainfuck based if you found a nice way to describe your hardware using some BF based software and DSL? Most attributes of programming languages that we software guys care about seem irrelevant at this level, so Haskell or C or Lisp, why would it matter?

The hard part is that the NSA has two missions --- cracking foreign crypto, and protecting US crypto. When an NSA employee speaks, we will have no idea whether he or she is speaking with the "protect US crypto" hat on, or the "SIGINT enablement" hat on.

I'd say the more important thing is that we not trust any one single person (or corporation). Everything needs to be open, and everything needs to be studied and verified by independent authorities.

This also applies to how you implement your security. You want two person controls for everything, and separation of roles --- those people who can bypass file access controls had better not also be able to wipe log records. The NSA is relearning that lesson the hard way as they try to figure out what records Snowden might have leaked --- apparently Snowden had the ability to impersonate other users, as well as wipe the log records which were _hopefully_ being made when person A uses an "su"-like command to impersonate person B.

After all, when someone stands up to give a suggestion at a standards meeting, or when someone goes through the hiring process to be one of your sysadmins, they won't be wearing a sign saying, "I do a huge amount of consultant work with the NSA and I have Top Secret/SCI/POLY clearance". Neither will job applicants have signs saying, "I'm getting paid by the Chinese MSS", or "I'm here to steal your SSL private keys".
Is the time spent entering in data considered billable? If yes, then I doubt the hospital will be interested. If no, then you may be onto something.I was in a presentation not long ago at my former employer and we were being pitched a pretty cool piece of software that would probably have saved me a couple of weeks of tedious interface building. I pointed out to the VP how much time I would save. He said that we bill by the hour. I don't work there anymore.
Cache coherence can also be a problem for performance, leading to what is called false sharing.

When reading some value in RAM, values in the same "cache line" (that are right next to it) get cached. However, if another thread has to modify those values that just got cached, then the cache needs to be invalidated. This often happens in producer/consumer implementations.

If this is discovered to be a problem, it's often solved with what is called cache padding. I.e. if you've got variables A and B that are right next to each other and they are modified from different threads, then you add fake variables (padding) between them that's the size of a cache-line (which is between 32 bytes and 256 bytes, depending on architecture).
Well, because some languages are harder. Haskell is a tough nut to crack (especially the "Monad" thing, but the type system also gives some question marks as well)

Yeah, functional languages are closer to what hardware does, but more importantly, they may be close but not close enough

As the example showed, you have several side effects. Combinational logic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinational_logic) is a very good match to functional languages, however Sequential logic is "very different" (from an analysis point of view)

Do you have a source for the claim that the NSA has cracked thirty VPN providers? The only source I've seen so far that makes any similar claim was the cryptome.org document for prosecutors which was a hoax.
Tutorials are all very well, but what we really need is the programming equivalent of Geocities or Diaryland. That's how many of us got started with HTML and CSS - by making stuff and trying to get it to look nice.

Ideally this place would take care of the back end and provide a few basic components (e.g. pages, views) for you to structure your app. There would be code boxes for you to type into, and once you click save you'd be able to view and use the app at username.site.com. At first you might piece together a program out of pre-written components via point-and-click, then you might tweak the code to better serve your app, later on you'll get bored with the presets and start writing your own functions...eventually you'll learn to code from scratch.

There are tools that come close to this (GAE for example), but nothing at the absolute-beginner-anyone-can-do-this level.
Visualizing The Wheel of Time: Reader Sentiment for an Epic Fantasy Series
Okay, for the record, no moderator took any action against me whatsoever. pg was absolutely correct.

I experienced an incredible series of coincidences. Due to those coincidences, it seemed very much like I was being banned by a moderator. But it was just extraordinarily bad luck that I managed to run into each of those events. Here's what happened:

Somehow, (and I still have no idea how), I did something to cause HN to blacklist my home IP address. But from my point of view, it appeared to me that I was IP banned in response to posting my original comment.

But I wanted to be certain that it wasn't just a coincidence, so I tried logging in via Tor. I was able to login successfully for about 10 minutes.

Then I restarted Tor, so I was assigned a new Tor IP address. I tried to login again, and that's when I experienced my first bad luck: that specific Tor IP triggered either a bug or a protection mechanism, resulting in HN failing to process my login request. (The login page redirected me to http://news.ycombinator.com/null and silently ignored my login attempt.)

I restarted Tor to get a new IP address and tried again. Same thing: even with the new ip addr, HN refused my login attempts. I restarted Tor yet again with the same result. So at that point I had tried to login with three different Tor IP addresses, and the login attempts failed all three times. So from my point of view, that seemed very much like a moderator was banning me.

Then I created "sillysaurus3" which was instantly hellbanned. This was an automatic action, not a moderator action. (I assume it happened because a lot of spam originates via Tor.)

So I tried again. I created "sillysaur" and posted a comment. I restarted Tor and verified that the comment was publicly visible (i.e. verified sillysaur was not hellbanned). Then I updated my sillysaurus2 profile to say "I've been banned, and my new account is sillysaur." Ten minutes later I checked sillysaur again and discovered that it had become hellbanned.

So at that point it seemed reasonable to conclude that some moderator was actively banning me. But in reality no moderator had taken any action. It was just bad luck (somehow triggering the IP ban) followed by incredible bad luck (somehow running into the login bug / protection mechanism three times in a row from three different Tor IPs that all happened to trigger it) followed by even more bad luck (my new accounts created via Tor were automatically hellbanned, probably because spam was originating from those Tor IP addresses which I had been assigned).

So that was a pretty crazy series of events, and I'm very sorry for scaring people with my warning. It was incorrect: no one had done anything, just as pg said.

While many of these common-sense things do really have peer-reviewed research behind them, most of the others do not. Pretty much everything that is under-defined, vague or unintuitive is wrong. Fear of failure, comparing yourself to others, surrounding yourself with positive people and so on - these are bullshit in general with no scientific backup. There is in fact more evidence that if you isolate yourself in your happy place with everything positive and no fear of failure, you will eventually have to confront reality very hard at some point in your life. The only reason they work in the short to mid term is because they are sort of a religion-substitute.

Or 30% more acid in water.
Those numbers are way off base. They assume 100% energy conversion when calculating costs which is a clear sign they have no clue what there talking about.

They also completely ignore the cost to build and maintain a coal power plant as well as transportation costs for coal. Consider the lack of west coast coal mines has a significant impact on the west coasts electricity costs.

Worse they use a reduculus 45,000 for 2kw system which is ~3 times the going rate. Solar is far from cost effective in Alaska but there are places in the US where solar + grid is cheaper than grid power.

PS: Off grid solar is not worth it, but neither is off grid coal so it's a pointless comparison.

Those two things aren't equal in the slightest. "future time orientation is superior" versus "the ability to drink water from your cupped hands without drowning yourself is normal".

> In other words, you are implying that some appreciation of the value of planning is something that only some cultures possess.

Actually, it is something only some cultures practice. (Not possess, just practice. Everyone can view time with a perspective in the future, but not all cultures default to that view.) It's just like how some cultures do not distinguish between green and blue colors (or how we do not distinguish between different types of snow.)

But no, you go ahead and claim the real racists are the ones examining racism. I'm sure that's not what people backed into a corner do or anything.
Well the reasoning is quite simple actually, if you care for freedom then you should care for privacy. Without privacy there's no freedom possible.

Maybe read some of the many posts around about privacy and freedom and rebuttal of the "I don't do anything wrong so I don't have to hide" argument:
you could start with the schneier's blog: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/05/the_value_of_...

But let me try to make a point of why you should personally care even though you don't know or understand why. This is a case of closing the barn door after the horse is gone, if you later learn the hard way you should have cared and go the extra step of protecting your data, you couldn't go back and get your data back.
And the sad reality is that if you have to learn this way, it means that history has indeed repeated itself again and you're enjoying living under a tyranny.

I do agree with you guys. In the article I make the distinction between people you care about or love (read: family, close friends, your students, people you decided to help) and the others. Specifically, what I find to be dangerous is when you are not aware of the bad influence someone else has on you, and when you are only surrounded by these type of persons who believe that nothing is worth doing/living, then you might end up thinking the same way. It's funny that some comments are about people in the Silicon-Valley being too optimistic or even delusional, because I live in France and I commute frequently to the Bay Area. I find that when I leave to San Francisco, I always feel very morose and when I come back I am always in a fired up mood! But slowly, this mood disappears because the average french is pessimistic about almost everything.
