Yes, of course. I don't think WalterBright was claiming that this method eliminates the theoretical possibility of all trusting-trust-type attacks entirely, only that it gives you a good shot at detecting the specific type that Thompson gave as his example (the compromised compiler). The point of the method being that since compiler B can be crap (slow, non-optimising, only implementing the minimum required to compile compiler C), it can be something you could knock up yourself, so reducing your level of trust to those components below the level of the compiler.

So yes, you're still relying on things below that. That doesn't make the exercise 'arbitrary' or pointless. Good risk management is reducing the chances of the most probable attacks, and a compromised compiler is (ISTM) a much more likely attack than e.g. a compromised CPU.

Seems to me that putting theoretical perfection too far ahead of pragmatism just gives the (wrong and damaging) impression that not being able to solve all trusting-trust issues entirely means it's not worth their time trying to solve the more tractable ones.

I think the bigger issue here is they got married during the honeymoon phase of a relationship.

The first 6-12 month's of a good relationship are fantastic. Its exciting, full of lust and you get that lovey feeling with little effort.

However, as you get to know each other more and more the fire starts to go out. The relationship transforms into a deeper companionship. Where originally being yourself was enough you now need to make a small effort to show you care. Do something to make the other's life easier, or give them a small surprise etc. Instead of 'the fire' always being there you need to generate it.

People who don't make the effort get the feeling they aren't loved or start arguing or wake up one day and find out they are sleeping next to a friend.

I have been in a relationship for 9 years and am happy. There have been bad patches but it just takes a bit of perseverance to work through them.

I get the impression a lot of people expect a relationship stays in the honeymoon period or give up to easily when they hit a bad patch. I think it's a bit sad.

"The grass is greener on the other side." Some day's it is... but I have found if you go to that other side and give it a little while often what you originally had was better all along.

Good read.

I find this article portrays a more traditional style of marriage and love where love is more metaphysical than feeling and how the devotion to the marriage and not the romance made it work.

The emotion is sold because the emotion exists. They wouldn't be able to sell it if it didn't.

The problem is that not everyone can really have that, or optimize for those sorts of feelings in their relationship with their partners.

It's like watching Mad Men and thinking you could live like that.

You have a brain and that brain has been conditioned over the years. What brings you happiness, what brings you joy, is not really up to you. The ability you have to give someone else the experience they need to feel happiness and joy, is not up to you.

So you can't really choose what sort of relationship you want to have. You can't have a Jim and Pam relationship because you're not Jim and very few women are Pam.

Instead you can have a relationship that suits your needs. If you do manage to find one, treasure it because it's absolutely special. Don't think it has to look like anything, because it doesn't. It doesn't have to be mundane service. That was something the author and his SO needed.

>The reasonable outcome would not have included the pepper spraying of unarmed, seated, peaceful protesters in the eyes.

You're right. Like most crimes, it would have been better if it hadn't been committed. I was thinking specifically about UCD's response, which I still think was reasonable, and timely. Pike lost his job, that's about all that the Uni has the power to do to him, and about all they ought to have the power to do to him. I am disappointed (but not surprised) that the DA didn't charge Pike with official oppression, or something (I'm not a DA, so I don't know what charges would be appropriate or winnable.) But police brutality is a serious problem everywhere in the US, not just the UCD campus. It is difficult to get police to find fault in the behavior of police, and also difficult to get DA's to charge police with a crime. Maybe we should expect more from UCD, but I think the responsibility lies elsewhere. I don't like it when organizations (such as UCD) are able to bring substantial pressure on law enforcement organizations for direct action. I also think it is worth mentioning that less than a year passed between the incident and the settlement, which is crazy fast. UCD could have opted for the ever popular wait-them-out strategy, in which case we'd all forget about it before anything useful happened.

They're focusing on making themselves the premiere chip designer while Intel seems to be more strategically focused on manufacturing.
Warn HN: Apple "bricked" my iPhone - Do your research before you "upgrade"
TL;DR - Want to keep your iPhone operating system updated (security patches)? Apple will have you buy a new iPhone sooner than you want.

Yesterday, I thought, battery drainage caused by iPhone OS "upgrades" must be "fixed" by now, so I "upgraded" my iPhone 3GS to OS version 6.1.3.

Boy was I was wrong. That "issue" seems to be strategy: After less than approx. 18 hours in stand-by mode only (absolutely no calls/SMS/MMS/emails/WiFi/bluetooth/screen usage/etc.!), it was dead.

Before the "upgrade", it ran for 3-4 days.

Apple has successfully devalued my iPhone. I will not get a fair price on ebay for it, anymore.

2 things come to mind:

1. Apple has just announced that they now offer you a better price for a new iPhone if you turn your old one in. The catch: You get significantly less than on Ebay (where you also get cash = you're free to leave the platform).

2. A new iPhone is coming out.

Coincidence? Who knows. But it feels like being locked up in an Apple prison:

a) We're neither allowed to replace the battery (which could have helped a tiny bit)

b) nor to downgrade iOS.

So we're just left with trashing our phones and buying new ones.

The parallel to Microsoft's model:

It's an unwritten "contract" between Microsoft (MS) and the hardware and chip vendors (OEMs): MS keeps bloating Windows, so that consumers are forced to buy new hardware on a regular basis. The OEMs return the favor by preserving MS's Windows monopoly by pre-installing it (forcing the consumer to pay for a copy of Windows they don't need).

Result: A hardware-software upgrade cycle that forces us to spend money, when we have no actual need for a new versions of the products. Apple now plays both sides of this game.

But I'm not playing anymore.

I think the problem is that people expect the marriage to make them happy, or as it is sold "the other person that comes and all your problem cease to exist" I don't think marriage or anyone else will make you happy in the long term, you have to do the work yourself. A supportive partner is a great thing but not a solution.
I believe many marriages fail because people eventually realize there is no magic wand solution to their own problems.

The best online rent-versus-buy calculator I have found is the one created by the New York Times [1]. As others in this thread have already noted, in suburban-to-urban population densities, the cost of shelter is in the dirt, not the improvements. The wisdom of embedding wealth into dirt in a highly technologically-developed economy where the value chain is much, much more abstracted away from the dirt is lost upon me. Bidding up the cost of dirt just seems to me an easy way to factor away any incremental new wealth created by those living on and paying for the dirt.

Even lots of programmers here on HN eagerly brag up "good buys" they made on their houses, characterized as "good" because the house "went up in value".

And yet you see now that they have a happy, love filled marriage right now based on serving and loving each other before themselves. I don't think many people are in a position to criticize that.

FYIW my wife and I got engaged after 2.5 months, married after 4.5 total. We definitely had the lovey dovey feelings but knew going into this that the important thing over the long term was to love each other with our actions. We have a wonderful marriage now that is so much richer and our connection so much more tangible than when we were dating. It blows away any prior relationship I had, including many year dating relationships.

3. The hardware is a lot cheaper
There's two ways that I'm aware of to launch a Chrome app without using the "new tab tab":

1) Use a bookmark. Chrome apps are just bookmarks, after all. If you want to be really clever about it you could even use a (personal, non-social) bookmarking web app like http://bookmarked.us/

2) Install an app that lets you launch other apps. I'm thinking of this one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/app-launcher/odmpa... (App Launcher)

I actually wasn't referring to Graal at all (I didn't realize it had anything to do with Ruby.) I was thinking more of IronRuby (I think?) back when that project first started, before they had much implemented, when they came out with performance numbers. Whichever one it was, it was what spurred the controversy that Charles Nutter was reacting to by doing that.
"Glitch" is the standard word in the world of video games, and as you might imagine it tends to refer to the dynamic aspects of the bug rather than the static, as this is what is immediate to the player. This is reflected in the fact that "glitch" is commonly used as a verb as well as a noun: "I was glitching the shit out of GTA last night, it was awesome." An encouraging sign for future hackers I'm sure you'll agree.

Many people, myself included had formative experiences with computers by abusing and exploiting video game glitches, as a kid it was like peeling back the edge of reality. I think you can see the connection here to the phrase "glitch in the matrix." It got to the point where I was pulling cartridges halfway out of their slot while the game was running in order to walk through walls. Halcyon days...

> The emotion is sold because the emotion exists. They wouldn't be able to sell it if it didn't.

Very true.

> What brings you happiness, what brings you joy, is not really up to you.

Not quite so true, because of this:

> Don't think it has to look like anything, because it doesn't.

In general, people who are "sold" aren't going to be as happy as people who are capable of identifying their needs for themselves. In the case where a person is used to being sold, it's probably true that they're not as capable of taking this kind of responsibility for themselves.

However this is a skill that can be learned. It's the reason why I'm far happier now as a married man living a very simple life than I was when I was making gobs of money, renting an expensive beach house with a massive pool, and getting drunk all the time while chasing women.

I was sold on an ideal, and it was god awful depressing. As soon as I learned to let that go, things got much, much better.

Ask HN: Google App Engine or Heroku for my first Android app backend?
Hi, I'm going to publish my first free Android app to improve the schedule bus in my city. My app needs an API so I need a backend server. Since I won't have revenue for my app, I need a free hosting.
My requirements are the next:

* MySQL database (or similar). Less than 10 MB.

* Cron. One task per day (less than 5 minutes per task).

* My backend is written in PHP. But I think I could translate into Python.

* No storage needed (just for the source code, a few json configuration files
and the database). No photos, no images, no videos.

* Traffic. This is quite difficult to predict. Some context:

My city has approximately 80000 habitants.

I'm using Android >= 3.0. So this reduce the total amount of
potencial users.

Ideally the app just has to connect once a day, the data will
be stored locally.

The total size of the downloaded data (json files) is
about 10kb (two or three requests).

Ideally the user will use the app like this: wake up in the
morning, check the arrival time for the next bus to go to work
and at the end of the day check again the arrival time to
go home (very simplified, but the average user has the same routine:
home->work->home). Anyway, just one request in the day is needed because
I store the downloaded data locally.
There is another use case where the user sends data to the server. I'm not going to
explain it, but the data sent is just text (an arrival time)
and is optional.

There is just another app like mine in my city but,
in my humble opinion, mine is better :)

I have never used GAP/Heroku and I've read the usage and billing for both, but I'm still a little lost.

Thanks and sorry for my English.

In German there are two words - perhaps in English too.

It's "verliebt" and "liebe/lieben". The first is in the beginning, the second after some time (although people will tell you they love you "liebe dich" from the beginning, while in reality they are "only" "verliebt"). When dating you are usually "verliebt" I think. Some fall on love with being "verliebt" and then split up again and again.
I've never heard of that. Do you have link?

Curiously enough, all of the features you've mentioned are doable on the JVM, even without TCO support (I know this because I've worked on implementing them in https://github.com/puniverse/quasar – well, except for the "budget-based yield" but that's a minor change). The general idea is that instead of providing the implementation baked into the VM, you inject it into the compiled code using bytecode instrumentation (at load or compile time).

What truly separates BEAM from the JVM is the almost total process isolation, particularly, as you've mentioned, in the case of memory allocation and reclamation. This difference, however, entails tradeoffs – sometimes you'd want the one and sometimes the other.
