And as it happens, the Server 2003 hotfix required to support SHA256 certs and the XP/Server 2003 hotfix required for enrollment of SHA256 certificates (not that it matters as much as only the machine enrolling SHA256 certs needs it) are both included in MS13-095, because they stripped the GDR branch from new XP/Server 2003 updates ~6 months ago.
With (dirt simple) length-prefix framing, and blocking reads, pauses and such are non-issues. e.g. blocking read for 2 length bytes, blocking read for N bytes of payload. If your read fails for any reason, or you've timed out, then you give up and close the connection.

Your application protocol needs to handle timeouts (some sort of retry, preferably with some notion of idempotency).

The problem with:

is that it's not really a response the ZMQ feature. With ZMQ you don't have to reimplement for every application and platform.

I spend about half my time cranking out responsive PSD->CMS themes, and I feel the same way. I use a lot of template parts/helpers, and generally it's not a pain point to reproduce classes across a document. Except where it is and then, well, there I extend a class.

Simply having some kind of standard to work against is a big step up for me across projects. There is a great deal of semantic information involved in the in-line class names of a framework, once I learned them. Having verbose classes is maybe not quite a domain specific language, but it is a move in that direction.

Any time you've chosen to select a language for describing what is going on, you're locked into that decision. I just like having a largish dictionary that other people know, and I don't mind being a little more explicit in the markup if it lowers the number of unique or idiosyncratic words I need to develop for myself.
It's not that: it's that without acknowledging the bias, the 'meritocracy' philosophy suggests that those who do OSS are the best at what they do, which is not necessarily true.
I guess I am being vague, because my argument distills down to simple optimism vs. pessimism. I can't argue what is not known. We don't know what tomorrow's energy sources will look like. We don't know how to sustain two, five or ten times the population, let alone the exponential growth we've witnessed. Of course something has to give, and it will. Fossil fuels are unique, sure. And of course they are limited.

But imagine how limited people felt in the 1700s when their entire energy and food supply was simply the sun and arable land. I bet that felt rather absolute to them too. I mean, it's the sun. It's pretty fundamental and unchanging. What else could there be? Surely we can do the math on how much farmland there is to work and calculate possible yields and determine the maximum number of humans the planet can sustain. And what should be done with that number?

Yet centuries later we have shattered those limitations many times over, doubling and doubling and doubling the population again.

I don't mean to belabour the point, maybe we will transcend our current limitations (I think we will), or maybe we won't. But even if we don't, let resource scarcity cull and control population instead of policy.

Florida's Muschamp: QB Murphy likely out Sat.
Wait, who? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001864/
Being familiar with Dileep's past research: the algorithm used by Vicarious here is very likely based on the Hierarchical-Temporal Memory (HTM) technology developed by Hawkins, Dileep and the folks at Numenta [1].

HTM is documented in a Numenta white paper [2] and in an older form in Dileep's PhD thesis [3]. Numenta has also open-sourced an implementation of HTM, NuPIC [4].

It is important to note that, while HTM is a very interesting approach to machine learning, it has never been shown to beat (or even concurrence) the state of the art on any problem.

I have been following Numenta/Grok's progress closely because they seem to me to have the most potential for pushing this tech forward. Also I like their open-source strategy compared to the 100% secret approach of Vicarious. Vicarious has an impressively bombastic PR (that you can see in action in the above article) but basically nothing to show for it (until now, that is, if this breaking of CAPTCHA turns out to be real and the be more reliable than existing state-of-the-art CAPTCHA-breaking algorithms).

Long before they had any working technology, Vicarious founders had been throwing around quotes such as: "[our goal is] in five years to make a human-level vision system. Anything a human can recognize visually our algorithm would recognize visually." (2011) [5]

And today, after creating a CAPTCHA-breaking program (which has already been done in the past; I'd like to see a benchmark comparison), they're basically claiming they've created a human brain.

They also claim they will have a strong AI by 2026 [6]. Bombastic much?

I was most likely banned for making a negative comment about a mindless HBR article. The site was being flooded with them at the time.

The consensus in the commenting community was that you shouldn't downvote people without explaining why. The rule of the site is that you shouldn't complain about posts. The two are at odds, and personally I favor what the community wants, not what the site overlords dictate.

i understand why you think it is amoral. However, your definition of something being moral or not is very different from someone else's. Someone might think it is amoral to abort at 8 months, while there certainly are many that think it is perfectly fine to abort at 8 months. Other people are certain that you are killing a human being.

My own view is that none of us actually knows whether it is moral or amoral to abort at any given month.

You have to really think of a world with hundreds of billions on it and how that possibly would change the morality of something.
It's not the same at all as this issue, but the civil rights movement essentially was violating laws with a political agenda in mind.

I think underlying the dislike of the ad is that it glorifies a situation where people as you say are forced to work.

Certainly if you are forced to work at the whim of your boss, being able to do so while being able to attend a family event is better than simply not being allowed to attend family events.

Another reader here. Your book demystified tmux for me. Thank you.
Of course they aren't buying the 'fabs and staff' just a chip designer with a decent design suite that has the geometries and processes for their chosen fab partner pre-loaded (probably TSMC or Global Foundaries). Get the design done for 250-300K (what is the annual salary for a chip designer these days ? $150K? $200K?) and then its pretty much point and shoot at the fab. Hand over the files, run the layout, build an alpha mask set, do a couple of wafers with it, tweak to the pre-production masks, so an A0 run, fix what is left and build an A1 "production" part.

Given modern simulators you can simulate the chip pretty completely, synplicity can do the physics simulation of the process to verify geometry I believe.

I have been looking at what it would take to 'mass produce' a simple ARM frame buffer design. There is quite a bit of support out there for "free" (its really back end loaded into the process costs since once you qualify on TSMC it is harder to move to GF and vice versa)
I wonder what that gains them... maybe crooks are reusing legitimate cards but programming in different stolen numbers in them?
Bankrupt, ouch.

Yeah, most people don't seem to think very much of this strategy (I'm even down-voted?), and no one talks about it. But I'm not sure why. I hear about the crappy 5% a year or whatever returns people get, which just never seems very good to me. But, idk, maybe I'll lose all my money one day. That's a real possibility as I spurn most advice I get.

Anyway, Good luck!
To the GPs point, groupon was a sucessful hack.[1] It had young neophyte managment and massive losses. VCs thought is was worth 10's of $Billions. It was covered like the next coming of Netscape...[2]

[1] The nature of the "hack" itself used digital media (email, digital coupons). The main breakthrough seems more of a social/business/marketing hack than anything uniquely driven by hard tech programming or engineering, though. Although I could be corrected on this latter point by someone with specific knowledge.

[2] Part of the story was very high growth and market penetration. There was much "its different this time" type discussion about how this was all enabled by technology.
Google has been steadily moving away from "Go is a C++ replacement" (because it's not) and toward "Go is a Python/Ruby replacement." (which fits it _much_ better)

Also, you're descriptions of Go and D are great, but I'd say that Rust is more "Concurrency of Erlang, speed of C++, type safety of ML/Haskell".
I actually agree with him, but I'd word it somewhat differently: Rules and legislation are made for a reason. Before you break a rule for your own self-interest or due to your own beliefs, make an as big an effort as you can to imagine how and why the rule is sensible and how following it could actually be better. Then, break the rule.

Of course this can sometimes take about 2 seconds and you conclude that the rule is utter crap in your situation's context.

That matched my experience as well in trying to price out my frame buffer design.
There's a bit of irony in that the strengths of HTML5 shine through when confined to a single environment. If the best experience comes from targeting a single environment, then why go web at all? Further, HTML is considered a strong contender for true cross-platform app support, which is where it fails the hardest. In my experience, it's less effort to target native apps per platform than to try and use something like PhoneGap for apps of reasonable quality and complexity.

The single environment HTML5 showcase is also often supported by another development team who is actively trying to support their specific use cases; Microsoft with IE/WinJS, Mozilla with Firefox/WebOS, Sony with a PS4-optimized WebGL implementation, etc.

When the big players hit roadblocks during the development of something as high profile as their UI for their next-gen console, the browser can be changed on-the-fly to overcome them. That option isn't available to the rest of the world, and "audio doesn't work like we need it to" being a solvable problem can certainly influence whether or not you believe HTML5 is a suitable app platform.
Social customer care: There’s no such thing as too fast
Man I hate dating services. All it does is get you laid and that's it, for the most part. It's such a confidence crusher after going on an amazing date and they just don't text you back, and then you're left in this abyss wondering whats wrong with you.

It also sets the women at a stupid advantage. I'm a guy, making >100k at 20 years old, with loads of interests, friends, great job, great life. I have to pander to women that have none of that.

I recently went on a date with a girl whos 25, all she does is game, no job, no school, nothing in her head, literally the most boring person on the planet, and just because she's really attractive and gets lots of messages on dating sites it gives her the illusion that she's superior.

It's less of a date and more of an interview or a "prove yourself" thing.

It promotes the attractive, and leaves the unattractive absolutely hopeless because if you have the best of the best at your finger tips, why the fuck would you settle for less?

I'll stick to real life where genuine connections can still be made.
I find it a little offensive that because I agree with a certain law it means my morality is dictated by the state. I'm sorry that I believe that if you're a repeat offender who just hacked a computer system and made off with nearly a million dollars in fraudulent credit card transactions you should go to prison. I haven't yet decided whether or not I think 10 years is too long for that.

Firstly, accessing your work files anywhere has long been enabled by Dropbox, Google Docs, and iCloud, so there's nothing that was previously unheard of.

If I found that every one of the digital cameras I've purchased suck at taking the kinds of pictures I want then I would assume I suck at picking cameras. I would not assume that all digital cameras suck at taking pictures.

One of the biggest factors involved is going to be the quality of the lens. If the lens sucks then chances are you'll get bad pictures. A good film camera with horrible lenses will most likely get you bad photos.

Then, as you say, there's shutter speed to consider. Shutter speed will affect the resulting image based on the environment and situation where you are taking the picture. Most cameras meet the needs of most people, a cheap digital camera will not meet the needs of those who require high shutter speeds. Nor would a film camera. My question is, who cares? If it doesn't meet your needs then get a camera that does. For instance, get one that lets you adjust the f-stop.

Remember cheap, crappy film? That's the equivalent of a crappy digital camera. A cheap image sensor in a digital camera is roughly the equivalent of not only cheap film but a bad development of the film.

In other words, you get what you pay for.
What about Steam's Big Picture mode?
Well, PS4 has 3.5GB allocated for system memory. Plenty for running lots of things in the background.
There is definitely a _huge_ difference in performance for the same Steam Store pages between the app and looking at the same page in a browser. Seems like something is poorly optimized in the application.

It bothers me how little people care about responsive UI. I haven't used a PS4 yet, so this is more just a general comment than a criticism of the decision - but the PS3 is a bit of a clunker in its cross-media bar. There are spinning placeholders for a couple of seconds every time the icons load. It doesn't exactly scream raw power - why aren't devs embarrassed by these things?
downloaded and played with it for a few mins. Very nicely done - well polished and ios7ey.

A couple of comments:

- Sorting contacts (assigning each user to buckets is a big chore). Maybe automate it based on a list (Netflix, Hulu etc goes to subscriptions, BankOfA, FinanceCU etc goes to Banking), and let the user edit it if need be.

- Or instead of drag and drop it in a bucket, click and pop a list of buckets, so user can click on it again to drop in that bucket - way faster than dragging and droping in a limited real estate scenario

- when i click on a message, dont show the big fat buckets first, show message, and if user scrolls up, he can see the buckets himself.

- right swipe -> just pop out a list of buckets and let the user click as real estate is quite small, and you can see only 3 buckets by default.

- Compose is a bit clunky as I need to SAVE recipients even before message screen shows up.

- After I select recipients, save, move to message screen, then if I want to change/add recipients, dont make hime swipe back, make the to: field tappable as well.

- Doesnt work on landscape

looking forward to the actual release! Great Job

Nobody should ever go to jail for non violent crimes. The whole point of containing someone in a cell is because they are a menace to society, and somewhere along the line we blurred it.

Instead of wasting a human being for 10 years, give them mandatory community service, or worse, customer service heh. Put them to work, make them productive. People have too much skill and creativity to waste away in a jail for 10 years. It would absolutely wreck me.

I would, without hesitation, kill myself as soon as possible after sentencing.

Chicago hacker tied to Anonymous given 10 years in prison
Interesting, and seemingly well-researched, idea. My dad - who taught me golf - has been through a lot of 'training aids' already, and has sometimes shared them with me. Note - he's a ~12 handicapper and I play off around ~14.

I think the price point of 120USD for a club is entirely reasonable, in fact I was slightly surprised to see it so 'low'.

These days my Dad and I take golf a lot less seriously - and yet still somehow play just as well / badly as when we were trying harder - so I wouldn't personally support this campaign, however I bet many, many golfers would once the word is out a bit more.

Good luck to your friend and his dad. :)
