A large chunk of ORCID actually is open source: https://github.com/ORCID/ORCID-Source (though I don't necessarily agree that it should be, since ORCID is not a library or tool, but rather a service that only has real value if there's a single instance in existence).

I think there's a misunderstanding here on what ORCID is exactly. The name is an acronym for "Open Researcher and Contributor ID." It has nothing to do with publishing, but rather is being built as a central arbiter of academic identity.

Academics love to measure their importance by the papers they've authored or co-authored. Most databases currently track the names of authors associated with each published paper. But names are frustratingly ambiguous or degenerate, which makes it difficult to do things like create an auto-updated list of all the papers you've published.

ORCID is a publisher-funded non profit designed to reduce ambiguity in author identification, by simply assigning a UUID to every researcher. This is a case of publishers agreeing that collaboratively funding a single, centralized technical solution will benefit everyone much more than having a bunch of competing, siloed systems.
I really love the idea of cloud-fpga solutions, but I can't begin to fathom how this could work without doing the fpga "coding" in a high level language. The simulation speed of verilog is too painful...

That said, working with the GPU requires a very specialized set of high level constructions as well; I imagine that most workloads could have significant parts of their computational path abstracted out to pretty common easy to port fpga processes.

See, my first computer was a Tandy 1000 and it just ran off of floppies and RAM. No hard drive. My mind was blown when we upgraded to a Windows 3.1 system that not only had a hard drive, but also a 3.5" floppy drive. WHOA, SMALLER DISKS.

So I manage quite a few servers at Hetzner and we were DDOS'ed quite a few times. First, they warn you and if you don't get back to them in 12-24 hours, then they will shut down your server.

Sounds like you were unfortunate, but this is not generally what they do.
I don't.

I had my last post on the home page for almost a day. That spike in the viewers count and twitter feeds are probably the most notable effect out of it. If you need to spread any sort of awareness about any topic, HN seems to be a great way to do that, also the fact that so many other platforms pick up their news from HN only helps.

If we take the recently publicized Rat Park addiction study as a guide, the problem isn't so much with the alcohol as with the social environment.

Really interesting read on how much interaction HN brings. There is a lot to be said for quality over quantity when it comes to page views.

I believe you are wrong about dismissing that top comment in the other post as snarky, negative and useless. That comment has a lot of very useful information from someone who appears to have been doing the Thailand thing longer than you have.

1) Thai law was brought up a number of times and you do appear to be violating it. This is probably something that needs to be said.

2) You mention how cheap it is while he believes its more expensive, but you may have gotten a good deal or stayed in areas that others wouldn't want to. It's your experience vs his; I see no reason to dismiss him as 'snark'.

3) He shares a number of anecdotes (sex workers, etc) that differ from your anecdotes. Thailand is a big place, you can both be right, and the more information the better.
What would you do after they warn you? It's not really under your control to fix is it.
Interesting though such tests would be better if each question is not marked as correct or not after each answer. The feedback from positives and negatives will have an impact upon the following questions.

Shan't say how low my score was but I scrolled up looked at picture and then scrolled up some more for options to find my response was not even in the selected replies, though many had related alternatives. Like the look like they are thinking "meh" which could also be bored or uniterested. But I'm clearly far from even close to average, let alone an expert on such matters and with that, what do I know. Though I do wonder if I got a few like minded people we could by process of elimination get the right answer for each from the options we did not pick. Least I do wonder.
> even though vitamin c is soluble, taking too much is quite harmful aggregrated over longer time frames

Which statement in that article do you believe supports the position that taking too much vitamin C is "quite harmful"?
As with all parenting topics this one is a bit more complicated.

There's not much science. That science is poorly reported by mass media. It's misunderstood by many readers. And most people have fierce cognitive biases anyway.

(http://blogs.wsj.com/juggle/2011/10/19/no-tv-for-tots-doctor...)

Basically, "talk to your children. watching tv stops you talking to your children". I guess that's reasonable, except you can't talk constantly at children. Not everything is a learning opportunity. The parents and the children need some down time. The science doesn't say anything about exhausted stressed parents deprived of human contact and the impact that has on children, or the possible benefits of TV to that parent.

What I find funny is that this piece of software actually tells you more about what it does than software you pay money for and even uninstalls itself, after it is not needed anymore. It's kinda weird how malware is better quality than most other software.

You can tie private information, such as your telephone number (for SMS) and various emails to your account that you can associate with alerts on various reminders you set up.

It's bad practice to not use a secure login, because anyone who is sniffing HTTP traffic can see your Uptime Robot username and password in plaintext.

This might not be that bad for this website, but keep in mind how many people use the same email/password for other services, or their email.
I think this post will receive the same amount of viewers than the last one, prepare your servers ! :)
Joke apart, your content is quite good, well redacted but you also have a nice and content-centered blog. It's far more readable than other blogs or academic papers and I think it's also thanks to this that you were featured. Keep posting your posts on HN !
Thanks

> So because Jobs once admitted to being a bullshitter, his claims are beyond scrutiny?

Yes. In the real world, we call this "taking it with a grain of salt." Think about how many other interviews with other celebrities you've been concerned about fact-checking.

> Even when those claims are repeated as fact by secondary sources?

This is not and should never be Jobs' problem.

> This article isn't grinding an ax. Rather, it's an interesting investigation of a little examined aspect of computer history that happened to be kicked off by skepticism of a claim that actually turned out to be false.

It's concern trolling. It's pseudo-intellectualism analogous to people who bring up Ben Franklin's mistresses whenever someone brings up his inventions. And it's ridiculous that someone would write a fully-researched analysis of an off-handed comment whose clear intention was to praise an employee for his contributions.
That's a great usage of FPGAs, and part of the platform will enable you to choose what algorithms you want to boot on your cluster slice. (In the FPGA space these pre-built algorithm circuits are called "IP blocks".) we will definitely be offering machine learning algorithms, with an eye towards minimizing data storage as much as possible. That may sound counter-intuitive, but there's a method to the madness (hopefully!)
Hopefully, we can use gamification to provide incentives not to kill civilians.
Psychological removal is a serious concern. It could be a lot easier to kill someone when you're removed by a few layers of abstraction.
Wow, they detect the DDoS, but instead of blocking this they take off the servers?? Sounds ingenious..

Or are they unable to properly detect a DDoS and would also take off a server that hosts a web page mentioned on Hacker News?

How do other hosters handle this situation?
I definitely relate with the author. I started my own node.js project last week.

I have no idea how to organize my Express app, I have no idea what asset manager to use and yesterday I spent 4 hours just tinkering with my gruntfile to get concat and copy tasks right so my front-end files get moved to the proper folders when I'm ready to build. This is all due to my ignorance / lack of experience, but man, some readily available best practices would be really helpful.

Honest question, have you worked a real job before?

Documentation, by virtue of existence, does not negate product integrity. There is so much extremely complex software with very specific applications out there with documentation that would take you very long to comprehend.

It's the behavioural nature of the system being documented that determines complexity.

Bart's work is fantastic. I just submitted his MODBOOT page, which taught me far too much about bootdisks and .BAT programming.

Could the same be done in air traffic control?

It's certainly possible with ACARS. What's about information from aircraft transmitted via ADS-B?

And could CPDLC data sent from air traffic control to aircraft be faked as well?

I would be very surprised if proper encryption and authentication were in place for ADS-B and CPDLC …

I am not sure whether this is a good approach, given how much module hierarchy matters in ruby. I came up with similar hacky things as the OP. I played around with ideas a few years ago and found an interesting gem:

#load actually allows you to load against an anonymous module to protect the global namespace. It would be interesting to provide a non-anonymous module there.

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.0.0/Kernel.html#method-i-load

In the end, I found that deviating from such a fundamental part of the language to be less worthwhile than expected. The cognitive load of doing the "non-standard" thing is just to high.
You're right on the money... our platform will be exposing high-level languages to the user, specifically, functional, dynamic, interpreted ones. That's our ace in the hole. I'm intentionally not mentioning our company name because it's not my intention to promote here; that would pollute the conversation. That being said, I've written your username down :)

It actually is, since a machine is more likely to keep an automatic weapon on-target than a human being is, just because of the shear strength required. If a machine is firing at me from over 600 yards away with a large-bore rifle, there's not a lot I can do about it as a human unless I have a rocket launcher of some kind. And then only if I'm very, very lucky.

From what I've read elsewhere, sometimes they decide and tell you on the spot, other times you won't hear back for maybe a day or two. Personally, I wasn't feeling it for that 2nd interview group, but the 3rd guy with the customs brokerage business. I want a piece of that action :) That seems like a big money maker. My money is on him getting in.
Apply for finance jobs. If you can't get them, make yourself more attractive in future. How to do this? Some suggestions:

- Do you interview well? If not, improve this. Take interviews to practice.

- Banks prefer people with experience in finance. If you don't have any, join a consultancy or a company like LMAX that can get you that experience and which are more open to outsiders.

- Go to meetups. Make connections.

- Learn Scala.
If I was that engineer it would make me very uncomfortable to have a public figure overstate my accomplishments. Especially since part of the claim is that all current designs "rip off" this one (which isn't actually true) and that history book authors unjustly fail to acknowledge this.
The Next Level From Landing Awesome Opportunities
I like this a lot. One thing I noticed is that on the video, the first change is on the background from green to red. As a deuteranomalous (color-blind) person, I really couldn't see the difference unless I watched really close while it happened (and didn't blink). A small thing, but that kind of thing can be slightly frustrating for us. At any rate, the other examples were helpful in giving a feel for the product.

On a philosophical level, I like how this should integrate well with the rest of the Unix utilities. It isn't as immediate and interactive as Bret Victor's examples, but I think this has the advantage that the code is actually there and it works. It's not the ideal system, but I suspect that it is an improvement over the status quo. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.
Mega dosing with vitamin C carries some risks.

Here's a report of a tiny old study (http://www.nytimes.com/1998/04/09/us/taking-too-much-vitamin...)

> 'The vitamin C in supplements mobilizes harmless ferric iron stored in the body and converts it to harmful ferrous iron, which induces damage to the heart and other organs,'' Dr. Herbert said in an interview.

> ''Unlike the vitamin C naturally present in foods like orange juice, vitamin C as a supplement is not an antioxidant,'' Dr. Herbert said. ''It's a redox agent -- an antioxidant in some circumstances and a pro-oxidant in others.''

This was for the relatively small amount of 500mg per day.

I haven't read the Wikipedia references, so maybe they're all trash, but (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_C_megadosage#Possible_...)

> Although vitamin C can be well tolerated at doses well above the RDA recommendations, adverse effects can occur at doses above 3 grams per day though overload is unlikely. The common 'threshold' side effect of megadoses is diarrhea. Other possible adverse effects include increased oxalate excretion and kidney stones, increased uric-acid excretion, systemic conditioning ("rebound scurvy"), preoxidant effects, iron overload, reduced absorption of vitamin B12 and copper, increased oxygen demand, and acid erosion of the teeth with chewing ascorbic-acid tablets.[25] In addition, one case has been noted of a woman who had received a kidney transplant followed by high-dose vitamin C and died soon afterwards as a result of calcium oxalate deposits that destroyed her new kidney. Her doctors concluded that high-dose vitamin C therapy should be avoided in patients with renal failure.[26]

And there is an LD50 for rats, although that's 11.9 g per kg. (6 ft adult is 85 kg, that's over a kilogram of vitamin C to reach the same level. That would be 1,000 tablets of 1,000 mg vitamin C.

One thing that helps me is to imitate the expression and try to feel what I feel when I'm doing it. Not always right, but sometimes I go from not having a clue to being sure.

Or you could take the metro mover which is free (and, sadly, underused) that takes you to Brickell or north Downtown.

About Wynwood, you can avoid Overtown, using N Miami Ave or US1. My friend (who wrote this article) bikes from Midtown to Brickell a couple of times a week during the day and night.
I had to do deal with DDOS attacks in the past and DDOSArrest worked like a charm to mitigate the problem.
I don’t want to sound overly negative, but latexmk already supports this workflow with its -pvc option (i.e. watching files for modifications and updating the preview). The ramdisk is nice, but with an SSD it’s roughly as fast.

Also, there’s http://cristal.inria.fr/whizzytex/whizzytex.html

Since I decided to use LuaLaTeX for my documents, I can’t use whizzytex (but I’d love to!) and compilation time is insanely high with LuaLaTeX.

My main point of criticism is that this is _not_ what Bret Victor describes. Sure, quick feedback is nice, but that’s not the point of his videos. In the videos, you can actually modify the program using the interface. For our example, you should be able to edit in the xpdf viewer, but you can’t.

doesn't matter if the robot is pulling the trigger - just like modern automatic gears are actually manual ones where a "robot" is the shifting.

streams of bullets are no longer necessary as accuracy goes up. why waste ammo on suppressive fire if you can simply headshot with high precision? spotting targets through visible and invisible spectrum plus audio? using large caliber rounds that penetrate brick walls, car doors, etc (7.62, 50cal, etc.). basically mount 2 barretts on a turret and wreak havoc.
If they can detect the DDOS, they should be able to mitigate it, right?

(EDIT: of course Hetzner could choose to mitigate the DDOS by any number of methods - but they choose not to, because they have made a conscious decision based on cost.)

They're there, you're just not looking hard enough. I commented on the author's post - what I spoke about might be of use to you too. Also, remember that as a person with internet access, you're not limited to simply sitting at home, reading and practicing. Developers of these tools you use make use of Twitter and IRC and Github specifically so that people who are learning the ropes can contact them and ask (see: pester) them for help. They don't at all do it for experience or recognition in the industry ;) Sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to have a simple conversation with someone a little more experienced in the field. In fact the author's post is a great example of this working. He asked for help, posted it to hacker news, I saw it, I helped. :)
The article also also makes a general attack, as well as the specific one.
