BlackBerry retreats from consumer market
I can't imagine why syncing files would consume 800 ARM-Mhz. Maybe their is contention between the host OS and the Secure OS.
Some time soonish I plan on picking up a Pi and a GPS module that I can wire in to the GPIO pins, and have a Stratum 1 NTP server on my LAN.
Haha that's so true. Phones have definitely become this replacement for any tiny moment of feeling alone. Why else do people take them in the bathroom and go on facebook while they sit on the toilet?! We're all becoming more and more averse to any sense of feeling or being alone - even if for only a few minutes. Amazing to think about all the little ways we do it when you stop and actually think about it for a minute. Love Louis CK!

I agree that the way scope works in fat arrow functions is better, and I'm honestly excited about most of ES6 (proper maps and sets alone are worth it to me).

What does make me sad is that the old shit isn't going away. And not that it's not going away soon, but that, as far as we can tell, we're going to be teaching people about "this" for the rest of eternity.

I get why Brendan Eich and others are scared of versioning javascript, but I don't think it's tenable to have to keep so many semantically dischordant features of the language around for decades.
I am attending interviews these days and can echo a lot of what I read. Sometimes the interviewers just keep forcing you to the answers they have or they ask the same question to everyone - it's new to the first one but anyone coming in later already has the perfect answer. Your past doesn't matter - only the 30 min demo of you will sell. Only if in real world products got sold by their demo and not final functionality.

I use a Pi as an air-gapped system for stuff that I really want to be secure. Master keypair was generated on the Pi (which has a hardware RNG in the SoC), and the only way I get data on/off it is to sneakernet it. The small size of the device makes physical security much easier as well.
The problem is not that there are restrictions, but who imposes them and for what reason. Governments, for example, mostly don't want people to come and work illegally. Well, why do you think that is? It's because they would compete with the local labour force who would suffer in this case. Often forgotten is the fact that currently it's consumers who suffer from higher prices - this fact doesn't get nearly as much attention.

Diseases and criminal activity is just a small fraction of all immigration issues. Government doesn't care about it as much. I'd be absolutely fine with them if those were the only restrictions.
They are doing everything the can to source a new provider. There just aren't that many people who have the manufacturing capacity to produce these chips at scale.
Completely off topic, but what is your issue with polygamy? This is something that is illegal in Canada, and I find it puzzling. TBH, I don't see the issue with it. If you take away the fact that Warren Jeffs is complete fuck tart, polygamists seem to have the same issues you would find in monogamous relationships. Are there stories that are horrible, yes, but you find that everywhere else. When you look at the facts, are there more/worse issues in plural marriages?
The idea behind the design of fail-safe controls is that there are enough to prevent accidental detonation when an atomic weapon is in a hostile environment (in this case falling out of a disintegrating aircraft). Given that the number of tests that must be done to ensure that a bomb doesn't detonate when any k of n bad events happen grows exponentially, you can only guarantee that the bomb is fail-safe to a certain degree; so it's not unreasonable that 3 of 4 switches failed to prevent detonation; the last one was designed in just as much as the first 3.

Given that there haven't (as far as I know) been any accidental nuclear detonations despite the ridiculous number of accidental drops, I'd say the fail-safe control engineers are doing a pretty good job.

Digital & paper prototyping tools for your next great idea
Ouch! Ad personam attacks are a sign of desperation. For the record, I used to work for FPComplete (I architected the School of Haskell) but I quit. It was an interesting experience, having seen a whole complex web site and an online Haskell IDE built in record time by a few Haskell programmers.
Yes - I ran cross country and track in HS, and it was very much not a jogging club for people to get in better shape and have fun. We were training for races against other schools. Our coach was pretty laid back, but still, everyone knew everyone else's times, everyone had to compete in public in skimpy uniforms,etc.
So they sent him through a different customs agent, who took a cell phone he voluntarily gave to them, and then let him go... Doesn't sound particularly awful.

Anyhow, they probably suspected he was going to work illegally in Canada (plenty of people come as visitors and work illegally), and wanted to make sure that those weren't his plans.

Edit - furthermore, having any sort of sensitive information on a cell phone is idiotic, since they are far from secure. It's not terribly difficult to hack any device with physical access - and it's not hard to simply lose your cell phone...
IIRC I think I saw someone else saying that each fingerprint hash was hashed with a key specific to each phone so that if you were able to extract the fingerprint hash it would be unusable on the target's other devices. I cannot find the source for this so please take this with a large grain of salt.
I think society pays a higher cost by keeping these bozos around.
I've done very few interviews (on either side of the table) but I wish I would come across one that had two main questions in the technical interview:

1. Write some piece of code that you think is cool. It doesn't have to originally be yours, and if it would take too long to recreate exactly, write it out in pseudo code and explain how it works and why you chose it.

2. (Slightly more common, and I've asked this before) We are having Problem A, and it would be within the scope of your responsibilities. How would you approach it?

the interviewer asks follow up questions to both and hopefully learns something in the process.

Outpost.Travel - An Aggregator for Rides, Lodging and Guides
the project was spearheaded by a guy who is well-known,
having worked a long time in the wordpress community.

plus it tapped into simmering uneasiness that wordpress
has now overgrown itself into a convoluted bloated mess.

i also happen to believe that the 2-pane display, with
light-markup input on one side and output on the other,
is the _best_ user-interface for light-markup, but that
likely occurs subconsciously (if at all) for most people.

finally, of course, once a kickstarter project goes viral,
it gets even more attention because people talk about that.

To be entirely honest, I don't really care what your wife wears.

This is an issue regarding The Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada. It is explicit. No discrimination against religious beliefs. What constitutes a belief shouldn't be up to the Government to dictate, unless that belief may cause harm to an individual or those around them.

I don't really see how this is hard to understand. Be accepting, and don't judge people. It has the happy side effect of making you a better person, too.

(Note, I'm not religious at all. I'm here advocating based entirely on my belief that we have an amazing Charter of Rights)
Does pkgng actually have any packages on it these days? The last few times I've checked, nothing's been available because of a security breach a year ago or whatever.

I think you are wrong. The entrepreneurs that intuitively knew this, without reading a blog post about it, were the ones that also got funded.

So hopefully others that don't know this, can adjust their behavior, and possibly have a chance at getting funded.

This is great: "Finally, an HTTP server will now serve HEAD requests transparently, without the need for special casing in handler code. While serving a HEAD request, writes to a Handler's ResponseWriter are absorbed by the Server and the client receives an empty body as required by the HTTP specification."

I have no idea what you're talking about, but the Wright brothers' primary motivation for inventing the airplane was to patent it and make money off it. You don't have to take my word for it.

Also, it wasn't at all clear what the way to invent flight was going to be. Most people were trying an approach called something like "inherent stability" where they were trying to design their aircraft so that it couldn't crash. I.e. instead of giving pilots three axis control, they felt it necessary to design their aircraft so that pilots didn't need any control. So it may be obvious in hindsight how to invent flight, but it was extraordinarily non-obvious at the time, as every invention is.

We'd certainly like to believe invention happens for the sake of invention, but empirically dollar signs make the world go 'round.

That is a great way to damage Samsung for Apple. Initially contracting them with a very high-volume and then dropping off to zero. Samsung will make a huge net-loss, if they don't partner up with Microsoft(=Nokia now) or Google in another big deal.

> please don't take my critique too critically.

If you don't mean to critique harshly, then please choose a word other than "disingenuous". I see the word misused a lot to mean something like "misleading", but it actually means that the author intentionally, duplicitously was trying to mislead the user. It is an insult used to question the intentions of the person it is used toward.

Here are some synonyms from Google: insincere, dishonest, untruthful, false, deceitful, duplicitous, lying. Clearly those words are not generally used politely.

The ideal solution would be multipronged:

1. All the code is open source; you can host on your own servers if you want.

2. If you want to host on your own servers and you're a commercial outfit, you probably want a support contract.

3. If you don't want to be bothered with that and you don't mind about the NSA, you can use it as a cloud service on our servers with a minimal version for free and a commercial version for a subscription fee.
Ha, my code is ugly as Perl is not my primary coding language, would be embarrassing.

Could never get sendfile to work under perl through nginx either for some reason and they never answered my question on the nginx forums, so I had to just inefficiently dump the image directly to nginx in a buffered loop. The image is cached just like this lua code so the next read goes directly through nginx so wasn't too worried about the sendfile problem.

Code is just 50 lines though, if I can figure it out, most any coder should be able to. Just compile nginx with http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpPerlModule and then find any perl example code for imagemagick.
But passing through the land crossing can be. I'm a Canadian citizen and I've gotten far worse treatment from Canadian officials than I have from US officials.

I'm pretty sure that Apple would have negotiated prices into the chip contract. After all, this isn't the US signing a cost plus defense contract.
Mobile App Engagement Tool
Sure, the problem is getting it to the mobile devices out there.
While you are right, if a supplier is actively working against a customer, it is going to create problems. There are always a million things outside of the contract that matter. If the customer exceeds capacity planning volume, that gets resolved outside of the contract. Most suppliers will bend over backwards to help the customer. Will Samsung? Maybe.

If I were Apple, I'd prefer a supplier that has a natural incentive to be a great supplier rather than one that only has a contractual obligation. In the long term, contracts are as hollow as wedding vows. The relationship between a customer and supplier must be mutually beneficial with aligned interests.
Blackberry shares suspended as company warns of losses
I'm not sure how this is significant. Many of Apple's core technologies and hardware are produced by Samsung or with Samsung's help, e.g. Retina display for MacBook Pro, A4 and previous chips, and SSDs in the MacBook Pro and MacBook Aero.

It's quite disappointing to see this on the frontpage, in all honesty.
I'm also curious about how they prove this. The article assumes the times were in sync.
I was only arguing about a specific point in your post, not all of it. I read the rest of your post as "some people pay/paid high taxes, and are/were doing just fine". That implies (or at least that's how I read it) that higher taxes don't have a downside, which is what I was arguing against.
The A7 is not a hybrid approach. A7 is an ARMv8 chip (it implements the ARMv8 ISA), but not an ARM design (that's the difference between the processor license (can use ARM-designed cores) and the architecture license (can design own core implementing ARM ISA). Apple and Qualcomm have both licenses. There's nothing "hybrid" about using your architecture license.

ARMv8 provides two architectures: AArch64 and AArch32. Implementors can implement either or both. AArch64 is the brand new architecture while AArch32 is backwards-compatible with ARMv7-A. If both are implemented, it's possible to switch between AArch32 and AArch64 on the fly at specific change points, giving the ability to run AArch32 (= ARMv7) applications seamlessly on an AArch64 kernel (or an AArch32 guest os in an AArch64 hypervisor).

The A7 implements both, so do the A53 and A57.
And yet, if everyone were in the same "club", these sorts of restrictions would be unnecessary.

As for infectious diseases, they should be controlled locally, not on some arbitrarily defined border.
Go's image module is painfully slow, supports a limited set of formats and fails on lots of optimized images.

I also have implemented this in Go, but using cgo and graphicksmagicks, which is way faster and decodes almost any image you throw at it (there are some issues with very optimized GIFs, but I fallback to gifsoup for "deoptimizing" them in those cases). In fact, I even added a function for cropping and resizing an image to a given size in the module itself (since I think is a very common need), while keeping the aspect ratio and also giving the option to just center the result or grab the part of the image with higher entropy (e.g. suppose you have an image with a person in the side and then a lot of blue sky, you probably don't want to crop and image and end up with just sky in the thumbnail). This is just one of a few benchmarks I wrote:

BenchmarkResizePngMagick	20	80665091 ns/op	689 B/op	3 allocs/op

BenchmarkResizePngNative	1	9689016519 ns/op	351200 B/op	27 allocs/op

(yup, that's 120x faster)

The bindings are mostly documented, but I haven't gotten around to releasing the code yet, although I do hope do publish it soon. If you're interested, send me an email and I'll let you know when I put the code in Github.

In my experience, it's already at the point where a focus on trade and craft actually hampers innovation in an academic context, because so much of the funding comes from industry. Most papers today are about safe, incremental improvements rather than bold new ideas, because there's no obvious money in significant breaks from tradition. I think we need to let academia and industry each do their job: academia can produce great, wild ideas and discover fundamental truths, and industry can refine them into something profitable.
Sen. Al Franken's letter to Tim Cook: Questions about TouchID
The timeless story of Ozymandias -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozymandias -- (if you don't know the 1818 sonnet by Shelley, read it before downvoting. It's relevant and timeless)

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away".
