Something seems off about the simulation - once you get a big clump, it starts spinning faster and faster until it tears itself apart again.

Ignoring that, it's pretty neat - and runs decently fast as well.

Did you think the same when mozilla seriously considered dropping it?
None of this is finding the bug. RAM bits almost never flip, and "a single bit" - "the" bit he pointed to - flipping on multiple occasions is a virtual impossibility. As to all those other things: yes, bad stuff, did he see how at the "small picture level" these faults could cause the problem though? The whole thing is extremely unclear and blaming all those different things smells of not having actually understood the problem.

That thread starts with a pretty well reasoned argument for dropping MathML ("Summary: MathML is a vestigial remnant of the XML-everything era, and we should drop it."), and a later message provides more background for WebKit/Blink MathML problems: "The Blink implementation was never good enough to render MathML pages well in the real world, whether there were any or not. It also had some pretty major brokenness in the way it was integrated into Blink, which made it difficult to enable safely. "

The best language is D.

D is link-compatible with C, and it allows you to go as low-level as you wish.

Yet D also supports all the latest/greatest language features, and can be used to write high-level script-style code.

D is clean, simple, and is a high-productivity language.

D is what C++ should have been, and eliminates the complexities and problems of C++, without detracting from its expressiveness.

There is no better choice than D.

"Comment #9 was the same guy ranting against libgraphite2's code quality, but it's been deleted now."

Is there anything to say he was wrong?

"Thankfully, they've since changed their mind on that one. We might still see Graphite support in Chrome."

So what your saying is that after the serious code quality issues he apparently ranted about disappeared, they reconsidered (that's what the comment stream seems to say ...)?
Wow. That can't go unaddressed. Two wrongs don't make a right and "just a reaction" is a pretty terrible justification for murder. The death rate from racial problems is too high, and the only way to stop it is to stop doing it.

Instead of asking tricky "clever" questions, I prefer to ask questions which prove basic knowledge of the language. I just want to know if the guy knows what he's doing.

Beyond that, I suggest asking to see screenshots and Github source code of previous projects.
Do MusicML or ChemicalML exist yet? I'd be interested even in the specifications if you've got some links. A quick Google didn't net much.
>Please everyone, stop acting so holy about "the spec". The HTML spec isn't sacred.

This argument is never accepted when it comes from Microsoft. When they refuse to implement a standard it's an 'attack on the web' and MS trying to 'kill' the web for their own commercial interests. When Google rejects a standard and their public reasoning is that they can't be bothered to finish the implementation (it was already in Webkit after all) then we should just accept it. But why? Because Google is 'good' and Microsoft is 'bad'?

The reality is that MathML isn't in Googles commercial interest so it won't get done. That is the real story behind all the happy sing-alongs about the open web: it is ruled by a couple of teams in large powerful corporations who have the power to kill any part of the standard that conflicts with their commercial interests, or even just fails to promote their commercial interests.

Feedback: it wasnt apparent there was a video until i read this comment.
The $50,000 number is totally fake, it's just completely made up and no one at all pays it.

It's completely normal to be billed $2,000 and pay $3.59 for something. I don't even know why they bother with the fake number in the first place.
But you'd still have to download and install the extension in order to use it (or, as was somewhat glibly proposed in a comment on the bug, Google would need to ship a version of MathJax with Chrome). Anyone without the extension and with JS disabled would still be out of luck.

So far as direct OS access, I'm having trouble envisioning a situation in which the layout code for MathML would be any more vulnerable than SVG (or the rest of the layout engine for that matter).
Better yet, if they are checked in, rotate them and don't check in the new keys. Make them an environment variable instead.

Yeah, asking why you do something is as much a question about an action as asking whether you'd do it. You're not asking "Would you pay it?" you're asking: "Would you pay it if condition x were false?" You're taking it out of reality, where condition x is true. I agree, you could ask: "Would you pay it?" but the response from the person to that question would be useless without the necessary conditional you've put in it. However, as soon as you put in the conditional about a state of affairs, the person is not analysing their action as it is, but is instead analsying their action according to a state of affairs that may exist. It's as much a mental trick as it is in a case where people convince themselves it's a good idea if it's inevitable.

That goes back to what I said before, which you ignored, if you were to ask me: "Would you still work if you were a millionaire?" I might say: "No." That's true, but it's not true for any useful purpose, because I'm not a millionaire. If you ask me: "Why do you work?" I might say: "Because I like making money." In fact, the latter case is a more truthful statement than the previous case, because I don't actually know what Millionaire-Me might do whereas I do know what Non-millionaire Me would do (work). In any event, the previous question doesn't tell you whether or not I consider the fact I work voluntary, in fact, it doesn't tell you very much anything at all. I personally do consider the fact I work voluntary, but you'd have to ask the latter question to find that fact out. If you just had the previous question and left it, you might as well assume I believe that I work involuntarily.

In the end, you ARE asking for an opinion, the way you propose is a less honest way to do so considering what the inquiry at hand is. Remember, I said that people might have multiple reasons why they pay taxes. This is a sociological fact. Even one person might have multiple reasons why they pay taxes.

If you asked me your question:

"Would you pay taxes if you weren't forced to?" I'd say: "Yes." That's all you get.

My question:

"Why do you pay taxes?" "Fear of jail if I don't, because they pay for roads, social services, because I believe they are a legitimate exercise of function of government."

I'm not lying, no reason to, I pay taxes for multiple reasons and so do most people, and these preferences themselves may be ordered, maybe on my scale of preferences the fear of jail is in-fact less than the fear of potentially unmaintained roads if I have a nice car, for example.

Actually, an idea: Presumably we can synthesise the inquiry, ask "Why" and then ask "Would you still do it", or do it in reverse order. Then, ask people what their preference scales are, etc, etc. You'll find out more information about the reasons people pay taxes, you'll also find that what I said before is true: people pay taxes for multiple reasons.

No he wasn't. That number is fake. They get about $700.
Interesting then that the US backs the Pakistani shenanigans so throughly, do you include the US in the political class that need to take a look at themselves? I wouldn't claim to have a lot of confidence in my numbers, but the following links state greater dollars to Pakistan, by a fairly significant factor. $98.3 million for fiscal 2013, versus $2 billion for Pakistan. It's mostly military aid for Pakistan, because what they need is more weapons.

This question involves an "a-ha" moment (for the linear-time solution) and was thus banned from interviews at Google last year.

Don't use questions involving eureka moments. They reveal nothing about the candidate.

Edit: It should be noted that this question was used for a long time at Google, Microsoft, and many other places. It's a terrible question.
It's called marketing.

To address your claims, until very recently, there were very few pieces of malware that directly targeted the Mac platform, unfortunately Java and Flash are gaping holes in this regard. Apple have been slow to fix issue where both are involved. Any others relied totally on social engineering. Regarding viruses, there are still no known viruses in the wild that target OSX. There have been a few developed in "labs" as proof of concept.

As to Intel vs PowerPC; It depends on the metric. In raw clock speed, Intel won. Raw clock speed isn't everything though. In floating point operations per second (FLOPS), RISC architecture (PowerPC, and for that matter the ARM processor that powers your Android device) is theoretically more efficient than that of CISC. It can, in some instances, be considered to be faster.

I'm sure Apple do "lie" to customers, but they haven't lied about the things you suggest they have lied about. Besides, is it any different to gaming benchmark test to pretend your device is faster than it is in daily use or paying people to say bad things about your competitors online?
Do Doctors work for free by you?

Look at this beautiful statue I've made! I have put it in a public area for everyone to enjoy. You may even take pictures, however you must pay me $5 for each picture you take. If your print out multiple copies of your picture, you must send a check to my address with the payment for each additional copy.

Picture of statue = copy of software

Public area = internet

$5 per print fee = software license fee

I am not even sure if I fully believe my own analogy, but I find it interesting to think about.
Lovely! It's so wonderful to think of all of us as uniquely valuable. We're not just "developers" or "human resources," interchangable worker bees with bullet-point quantifiable skill sets.

It's not just about being the best at some technical area. We also simply have unique perspectives. Different things come into our minds when we come across the same situation. We have different values and interests.

And it's also not just about being the best in the world. There are billions of people but none of them are right where you are.

Completely agree with the second part of your comment though. But accidental killing of unintended targets should at least :
-be something the US apologize for, if possible directly to families, if possible by the highest rank official.
-be compensated even if money doesn't heal wounds like that.
If there are no consequences (both political and financial) to those strikes, targeting errors will never be a big deal.

I wasn't saying I think they are good or evil. I was saying that kind of black and white thinking seems to be what leads the web community to attack MS for ignoring standards but defend Google for doing the same.

It's fine as long as we have native open platforms that we can use instead. However Google and Mozilla want us all to be running web based OSs. In that world yes it would be a huge deal for one player to block a standard.

Hi HNers - I posted the below explanation to GitHub but I'm reposting it below as well in case you don't see it:

I originally did this project as a Mac app that I was intending to sell but unfortunately it didn't take off the way I'd hoped. When Apple rejected it from the Mac App Store for depending on Dropbox that was the final nail in the coffin and I had to abandon it and move onto other projects. I'm now open sourcing it and making it free - mostly because I'm still using it and don't want it to die. Others have emailed me and asked if I would consider open sourcing it. So here we are.

Let me know if you have questions. I'd love to have some help improving the app.
It very well may be either a fungal or bacterial growth in the A/C, especially if the odour developed over time. Sometimes it smells bad, sometimes - not, e.g. like a musk. The service can flush and clean the A/C and it's not really expensive as it's a common-ish problem.
Very cool!

From a pragmatic perspective, I'd like to see an extension of this that enables me to ask PySonar to insert some validation magics in my functions and object methods to enforce the caller to use the appropriate types.
I agree. What is considered left in America is still right in most of Europe.
>We've been converting the earth into a tool.

And, look at that, it's killing us.

Admittedly, since we've known that overexploiting the Earth's resources would do that for something like 50 years now, I don't so much blame humanity in general as the narrow but powerful subset who decided it was better to overexploit and destroy civilization than to make a bit less money.

This is why I'm so mindful about using third-party services that require access to our code to perform their service. It's not that I don't trust the third-parties not to abuse their power, but by trusting them with my code, I also have to trust their security measures.

As such, I always very carefully weigh the benefits such a service can provide against how much work it would be to do it myself (which will likely produce a shittier result, but which will be fully under my control).

It's not even that I think I can do security better than $SERVICE, but I'm a much smaller target. I'm not as afraid of a targeted attack than I'm afraid of somebody compromising one of these focal points and then just lifting everything.
Any idea why not? Looking at that pogo demo video, it seems like building the jack into the phone and supplying the adapter would be a perfect solution. I guess the main down-side is that it's another thing to keep track of.

Hmm... one thing that might help with that is to include a slot in the charger for the adapter, just to have somewhere to put it that isn't likely to get lost.

I find it's best to ask easy questions (like fizzbuzz) and very hard questions. For easy questions you gauge fundamental competence, those should be things that decent devs can solve as fast as they can write, it makes it easy to weed out the folks who are clueless and somehow have trumped up resumes. For hard questions you go in with the expectation that you're not going to get a solution to the problem, so you concentrate on observing the process the candidate uses, their problem solving skills, communication, the sort of problems they're comfortable with tackling, and so on.
