I'm not sure what car are you driving. Yes, you can't take any part from Audi and use it BMW but you have choice. You can buy parts for your car from several different manufacturers: you can buy original parts if you are/feel very rich but you can buy parts from less known companies. As well you can take two not working old cars of the same model and have quite good chance making one working ("donor car"). Meanwhile if I you ruin your phone you basically can't fix it - especially if parts are tightly compressed.

Another possibility you have assigned very special meaning to word "interchangeable".
What tasks do you do? I have a 2010 MBPro running ML and it slow has hell for doing any kind of iOS dev work. It used to be pretty fast but Apple's software updates - OS + Xcode have slowed it down considerably.
Youtube is using adaptive bitrates which keeps checking the connection and push the quality 480,720p etc, but the process is error prone and do too much of polling thus killing user experience.
We at our video website: http://bquobe.com/ have tried to overcome these problems by just generating network token once and streaming accordingly.
We have also optimized buffer and random timeline seeking.
Currently, the bug for video starting from 0.00s when quality is toggled exists. We would be fixing it soon.

There wont be much of a difference with native h264 support just probably limited and related to html5 applications.

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. - Thomas Jefferson

It's (intendedly) a simplification, but one that aptly describes how to respond to a situation like yours.

There is value in both style and principle, but there's a distinction between the type of value each provides. As a member of Society, Style has obvious social value.

Programming is a society as any other. The social value of following trends (swimming with the current) is that often many of the most creative & adventurous of us are early adopters of trend. Being the best people is so important, that it's often worth taking a leap based on that.

Usually genuine programming trends starts with a small group of bright hackers imagining a different future. They've probably got at least a couple inspiring ideas and it's worth taking a risk that these are the right ideas.

Every good hacker (or scientist, engineer, founder, writer, artist, thinker) has first principles. Whether they've explored their own intellect as much as say Paul Graham, unlikely, but if your moorless at sea, your simply at the mercy of every current that comes along. You simply wouldn't get anywhere.

To wrap up this wordy spiel, here's an summary:

> Use the current (Style) to arrive at your rock (Principle)
Without searching I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. I guess it is something related to free speech in the USA? I might remember it from school.

What I am implying is that it seems like a localized term and people elsewhere might have no connotation(?) to it. In German the word means a curl of hair.

For reference, the specification for the European power grid is in the "Continental Europe Operation Handbook", Part "P1, Load-Frequency Control and Performance".

It's actually a pretty elaborate system (who would have guessed?) with phase-stiffness between subsystems specified, because this basically defines the amount of power drawn/sourced. Timing is just the "outermost" regulation loop.
In essence, apart from 2, which wouldn't take too much hindsight to calculate, both items seem to be the work of a real expert in crypto.

Right, but the idea is that if enough people with Stallman methodologies emerge, then the services that cater to those people must adapt or fail.

It's the same concept as 'voting with your dollar'. It works, he just chose a set of methodologies that are unlikely to become popular enough to change things..

But the fact that we are dicussing him & his methodologies in relationship to security is exactly his goal. He isn't advocating for everyone to emulate his ideas of how to use the internet, he is advocating the idea that people must truly think about what the repercussions of their usage actually entail.

Not really. The original bitcoin client did what was called direct-to-IP transactions, which didn't use hashed pubkeys, and which was vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks (oops).

Bitcoin's ECDSA curve was chosen because it was one of the faster ones, not because of any NIST connection (a "real" cryptographer of the day would have probably advised against the secp256k1 curve used in bitcoin in favor of one of the NIST curves, or DJB's curve which is superior in just about every way.
> Lossy and transparent? Out of luck.

Well, you could lossy-optimize PNGs if you really want to. Take Google front page logo, for example: not a lot of colors to justify using 32 bpp PNG. Just sacrifice some alpha bits, and you can switch to 256-color indexed PNG. I bet nobody would notice the difference, and the result would be a lot smaller.
I will partly agree as sometime the problem is due to flash as for scrubbing it must pass on the time and accept the nearest Key frame. But most of the time it is related to netwrok, bandwidth and server packet dispatches.

While seeking a new timeline the network and the backend server has to be very receptive. For very popular videos only key frames positions can be cached to enhance experience.

Building A DIY Phone: A Q&A With The Founder Of Phonebloks
Besides dodging bullets, it amazes me that Satoshi had the foresight to include a scripting language into the outputs of transactions, envisioning a future where contracts could be built onto the blockchain. For a proof-of-concept, Bitcoin didn't need it. It could've just supported the ability for owners of addresses to claim outputs (in a hard-coded manner).

> But it's pretty much "expressive enough"

You mean like ASCII was "expressive enough" until people whose language was not English started using computers?

Your western bias shows.

That "expressive enough" attitude got us code-pages and a million different encodings to cope with the limitations we had put upon ourselves, and the related (and sometimes impossible) compatibility and inter-op issues.

Let's not walk into that one yet again, shall we?
What governments are extending me legal protections?

You're wrong. The law says what the policy has to cover. Whether the policy holder is male or female doesn't enter into it.

That hardly sounds like a file-system issue. That's an application and UI-design issue.

Just because you think some of these issues are hard and you don't know how to deal with them on an application level (beacuse you haven't had to yet), doesn't make that a valid reason into limiting the capabilities of the file-system.

Ask HN: Do you cross your legs when working? - Desk Design
While researching/designing a standup desk and my habits while working I found myself regularly crossing my legs.

When you cross your legs the distance between the bottom side of the desk plate and your knee is a lot smaller or you might even touch it.

I'm interested in this because this space between the plate and your feet defines how you can design the desk (and especially the lifting mechanics).

Bonus question for the interested: Whats the distance (in cm) between your knee when crossing your legs and the bottom side of the desk plate?

FYI: When I start building it I will gladly share my plans and designs.

Thanks a lot,
Martin
5 Platforms for Start-up Lead Generation
Haskell is fundamentally different from Ruby et al. It has plenty of features for achieving the same goals--say modularity--but there is no 1:1 mapping between those features and Ruby features. Or any OOP features at all.

Basically, you can do the same things but not necessarily in the same ways. For example, Haskell does not have any inheritance the way OO languages do, so that simply doesn't come up. This doesn't mean it's less capable--it just means it's different. Very different.

One example is interfaces: in Haskell, depending on the context, you might use the module system, typeclasses or even just normal types to accomplish the same things as an OOP interface. You can still organize your code in a similar way, but the actual mechanics are different. In fact, since Haskell allows you to explicitly control effects, you have more organizational power!

I hope this clears things up. Ultimately, the details of how you can organize things is going to vary per use case. Perhaps the easiest thing to do is just to pick up basic Haskell and see what larger Haskell programs look like.
I think neither ISO 2022 nor UTF-16/32 have never seen use in filesystem, exactly for this reason. The closest analogue of this problem in non-POSIX system is Shift_JIS, which can contain a backslash in a multibyte character (which I regard as a stupidity, given the possibility of using FD/FE bytes instead).

I still prefer a clear separation of server and client. The main issue I have with Meteor is that it assumes 1 client and for most businesses mobile & tablet is going to matter more than web sooner or later. It's sort of a technology solving problems in a space that is not really in hyper-growth.

“Basically, we saw nothing. But we saw nothing better than anyone else so far”
I don't understand how anyone of you can say "it's never going to take over email 1.0". Success is a lot about realisation. We have to start somewhere and this is a good start as any.

Having a standard is certainly a necessity. I definitely see secure email starting as a niche and if the user experience is at least as good as gmail I don't see any reason why a new email system would not take over.

It's not going to happen overnight but there definitely is a need for it. Lavabit and Silent Circle are proofs that this need is real.

There are major issues with replacing the current email:

1) there is no good open source email interface (if I'm wrong, please point me to this gem). Roundcube is good but not good enough when you come from gmail. I don't know of anything better than roundcube.

2) the threshold for a company to implement secure email is too high. Having a secure standard with secure libraries certainly lower that threshold

3) the current open source mails are GPL like licenses. This sucks for companies and individuals. Give them the ability to do what they want, including money. Replacing email is not going to happen without investment. Technology investments are mainly done by companies, only exceptionally by individuals.

Anyway, if anyone wants to take a shot as implementing an easy to use & opinionated (ie standardisation vs customization) webmail, chime in: https://github.com/nherment/dolphyn

I disagree. Most people need to drive to work and most people need to work to eat. Permanent revocation will just create more unlicensed, uninsured drivers. This has the unintended consequence of putting more burden on regular drivers (who pay hire premiums) and the state (which has to pay for incarceration).

This is why California and Florida, places with high undocumented immigrant populations, have such high insurance rates. Not only am I paying a premium on my driving I'm also paying a premium on the guy not insured at all.
I'm not seeing much in that description of the border exception that would touch this vessel, which appears to be something akin to "at port," much less a vessel controlled by a company with as many legal resources as Google. It would be a shitshow if the USCG just stormed in there.

Yes but you still are able to verbalize these problems, quite unlike when you stuck with a misfiring ANN. In symbolic approaches, e.g. inference engines, you have comparable explanatory facilities.

Depending on how tired (or drunk) I went to bed the previous night and how much time I gave myself for sleep, it might take even a few minutes for me to finally wake up to the alarm signal. Anything short would be totally ineffective for me.

Also, this ensures the alarm clock does its job - either you wake up yourself, or your angry family members wake you. Both ways, you get up when you wanted.
There is nothing precluding separate NDAs for individual instances that enforce different terms than a duty-required blanket non-disclosure policy enforces.

Interest in humanities is fading because humanities have failed the world. Instead of understanding the society and bringing about some positive change, they have become a tool for cultural domination. Some even say that the role of humanities, and history teaching, has always been about cultural domination.

But the idea of cultural domination is anathema to most of the 'new generation' which relies, rather, depends on cultural assimilation and tolerance in this global economy for their bread and butter. And this change hasn't come due to humanities... it has come due to technological revolution. So, of course, the interest in humanities is fading.
One of the comments at the bottom of the NYT article points to the real issue at stake: "If you want more humanities majors, ask colleges to charge less tuition that doesn't require going into debt."

Although, another way of looking at the situation is that the difficult economic situation combined with large expected debt load post-graduation acts winnows out humanities students who just aren't serious about their studies. Hopefully this translates into more passionate and eager students for professors to teach amongst the diminished ranks.
When a client asks us to build an app, they are really asking for a fully interactive web app that utilizes javascript to get rich client interfaces.

Just, no. When a client asks you to build an app, they are really asking you to solve a problem. How you solve that problem might be a rich Javascript client interface, but in general, your client probably doesn't give a shit as long as they can find other people to work on it when you're gone.

1 is a little hokey because in the common case, the hash is just a weakness -- it doesn't add any security against classical computers, for which ECDSA is already hard enough, and it opens the possibility of hash collisions.

I say "common case" because it only really is a win if _both_ quantum computers are in use _and_ you've never spent from the wallet and never will (except possibly to cash out entirely).

"I'm going to get another loan for a Masters in English" jeez
The younger me would have answered that with "but you already speak English" (yes, there are several sub-branches, and things to be researched, etc)

But get this, people are probably not going to be less interested in humanities, but they're not going for a formal education in it. You can study languages, literature, history, without needing to pay an arm and a leg for it.

And guess what, Computer Science started that trend.
Prtty much nobody would understand the connotations of Locke, Mill or Hobbes, and amongst those who do they'd be contentious.

Consider that for example Mill thought despotism could be acceptable under utilitarian principles if the end result was a better society afterwards; I don't know what you think of Marx [Marx Mail? Maybe not], but even an authoritarian reading of Marx ideological works fits within utilitarian principles to those who agree with it, while those who read Marx from a libertarian viewpoint, e.g. left communists, would generally find Mills distastefully authoritarian.

Locke was a major investor in the slave trade, and a central participant in trying to institute a feudal aristocracy in Carolina - writing about freedoms while trying to deprive others of them. Locke Mail in that respect would be fitting brand for a NSA run mail service for its hypocrisy alone.

Hobbes, while talking about individual rights, was a supporter of a strong central government an a supporter of absolute monarchy. He too would be a suitable beacon for the NSA.

That is not to say that these people were not important for the development of philosophical ideas related to freedom, but only in relation to the politics of the time. Today all three of them are archaic and authoritarian compared to a lot of more recent philosophers.

As for Liberty Mail, outside of the US at least it would be likely to leave a bad taste with a lot of people. It reads like Far-Right-Wing-US-Nationalistic-Nutjob-Mail or Lets-Pretend-It-Is-Liberty-While-We-Screw-You-Over-Mail to me, and I know a lot of people likely to have similar reactions.
The irony, of course, is that last time I checked, large parts of this scripting language were disabled in the official client due to security concerns.

> and doesn't require that you download 90k of JS each time you want to refresh.

That's what caching headers are for. You can effectively cache your "big" JS libs indefinitely on the client, as you'll change the URL and therefore require a fresh download when the lib gets updated.

This isn't to say that cold cache performance isn't also important, but even a slow DSL connection should be fine with a once-off jQuery download.
