Okay I see. I totally agree with that.
It's not really optimized. The list comprehension's body gets executed in series, and even if it were threaded, the GIL would forcibly serialize the thread execution while breaking all the code out there that expects in-order processing.
I would object if the guy at the next table over pulled out a camera and started snapping pictures while my wife and I are eating. I would feel violated. What is different about Glass? If I were at this restaurant I would ask the owner to ask him to take off and turn off that device. And if that didn't happen I wouldn't come back. If you were the owner, what would you do?
The chemist could have easily spoken out. Protections would have been put into place to ensure that she and her family wouldn't have been harmed. Obviously blackmail and fear plays a part here, but evident by the fact she didn't seem to be upset about being caught nor deny anything, sounds like a classic case of a sociopath (or even part sociopath). How could you live with yourself knowing for ten years you've ruined countless lives? Whether she believes it or not, she had her chance and the blame sadly does lay with her and the prosecutor for being complacent in the crimes taking place.

gold = bitcoin parity is a major resistance point.
if you look at charts. huge volume but downward moving from 1240 level. traded as low as 840. that level 1 fibonacci retracement. there's a huge chance this thing will revert below 600 quickly.

also from game theory perspective, lots of people take profits year-end. they don't want q1 of next year to start with down 50% on a trade.
Firefox is fine, yeah. Although, sometimes you do get a weird faux-bolding issue in Firefox for some fonts which cannot be fixed except for not using light text on a dark background and some custom fonts.
Wow! A link on HN of a two year article gave my poor classroom blog a 5000 fold spike in page views. Apologies if the snow annoyed people, but it wasn't me but a checkbox on the free Wordpress backend. It doesn't even show on the mobile version. The science comments above are interesting, but my intended take home message was NOT to promote an alternative to the tried and true methods of proper dental care, but instead draw attention to the incredible complexity of the human oral microbiota.

Yea, no. How about prison time? If you knowingly try to subvert the process that is there to keep innocent people from being found guilty, for personal gain, then you deserve a greater punishment than having to look for another job.
Probably. But that's the karmic justice, I guess.

What is even more horrible, is that she'll do the time, but all the prosecutors, whose careers she boosted, would walk away from this clean...
Under what definition of won't work. Won't be adopted? Would cause economic calamity? I think this is a crucial distinction.
your hypothesis is backed up by this story claiming that at least one other chemist has also been tainting evidence and that 180.000 cases now need to be reviewed.

If you really think that, you've missed CS 101. Or maybe std::list is the only linked list implementation you've seen. In that case, I agree, one should never use std::list.

Linux's list.h is extremely useful, and for a wide variety of circumstances, is the most efficient way to manage your data.
I am not clear what exactly you are looking for. The first link that you put up is a USCIS link about permanent resident sponsorship. This process is distinctly different from visa sponsorship.

I don't know about marketers but developers typically come under the H1B visa. Yes, there is a lottery involved and you typically want to get everything done before the cap for the year is reached.

I suggest you contact an immigration attorney. I was part of an early stage startup where they tried the DIY route. The documentation is complicated and convoluted (USCIS is notoriously finicky) that having someone manage it is worth the few thousand dollars that it will cost.
Yeah, it appears to me that the author sole purpose was to discredit the currency more out of bitterness more than actual valid data.
The OP is a bit outdated...Dookhan has since been sentenced to 3 to 5 years in prison:

The system is indeed in turmoil as it has to continue to review a massive number of cases. One of the worser case scenarios has since happened: a man who was freed because of possibly tainted evidence went on to allegedly murder someone

Kinda. Let's be honest: in production this often turns into a pain in the ass. There's some value in dependent typing, but providing evidence that concatenating UTF-8 strings is associative is not one of them.
SwiftStack - http://swiftstack.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA (preferred)

Everyone has data, and it's always growing. This growth in data means that we need an effective way to store massive amounts of data. OpenStack Swift is designed to effectively store massive amounts of data while providing high durability, high availability, and support massive concurrency across the entire data set. SwiftStack is building management, monitoring, and integration tools to turn the Swift storage engine into an effective storage solution that is used by millions, daily.

We're looking for engineers of all experience levels to join us. We do most of our work in Python, but we've got some Ruby, Javascript, and a few other things mixed into our stack.

So far this year, we've built out global clusters for a major expense reporting and travel support site[1], provided the storage system for Disney Interactive's gaming platform[2], and integrated Swift into radical new hard drive technology from Seagate[3]. We're currently working with companies like Intel and Box to build support for erasure codes into Swift[4].

My vision for OpenStack Swift is that it will be used by everyone, every day, even if they don't realize it. Swift is storage that is built for the web and already powers some of the world's largest storage clouds. I would like to work with you at SwiftStack to see this vision become a reality.

Interested? Send us an email at jobs@swiftstack.com. Send us your github profile, your LinkedIn account, a link to your website – whatever will best display the work that you’ve done. Tell us in a few lines of text why you’re interested in SwiftStack, and why we’ll be interested in you. We’ll be back in touch shortly to get the conversation started.

Shameless plug: a few friends and myself ported the reference toolchain to Solaris (illumos). We hope to integrate this upstream now that Go 1.2 is released.
Might also be worth looking at xv6, which is a rewrite of Unix v6 in modern C, and comes with an exegesis modelled on the classic Lions book:

(Although if you want to run the original Unix v6, written in a now-archaic proto-C --- unsigned integer variables are declared as pointers because "unsigned" itself wasn't directly supported in the language yet --- PDP-11 emulators and system images are readily available.)
Shifting Gears: Commuting Aboard The L.A. Bike Trains
What's the justification for that? What qualifies you to pass such a sentence, and what makes the sentence the justice system settled on inappropriate?
The rest of the data structures in the STL follow the same (anti-)pattern.

They all either take ownership of your data, or point at your data unidirectionally.

This means that given a pointer to your data you cannot, for example, delete it from multiple data structures it is contained within without going from these structures roots to re-find the pointers to your data.

Whereas with intrusive data structures (the way it is done in the Linux kernel and other "advanced" C projects), you can easily embed your structure in multiple data structures, such that you can do very quick deletion or modification of the data without re-finding it.
I don't think that attempting to maximize suffering is a good idea. If you go down that path, then finding creative ways to lawyer our way around "cruel and unusual" will become the name of the game (say for example, claiming that a plainly cruel punishment is acceptable so long as we do it a lot, making it not unusual. This has been argued before on HN...[0])

I honestly find the suggestion that we should use life imprisonment instead of execution because it is more cruel to be far more disturbing than suggestions that we should just use execution. You are proposing that we do something that you consider more cruel then execution... I'm not good with that.

Hey Plasmido,

I moved to Silicon Valley from Europe in 2007 and have lived here since. I had an 'easy' solution though did quite a bit of research and can help you get started with a list of options/approaches.

If interested, please feel free to email me at gmail. I have the same username there.

The DA is already covering up and defending the prosecutor's involvement, saying there is nothing wrong with prosecutors telling Dhookan what test results they needed to get their convictions, in clear violation of proper experimental procedures.
I've been using Scala just to learn Play framework (I know I could use Java but I thought I'd be adventurous).

I think in truth, though, if there were a web framework in Clojure as well received as Play I would be bounding down that path instead. Clojure seems to be where a lot of the JVM interested is heading yet we're not there yet for some reason.
Elevator accidents are rare (hence: suspicious), people transit them for brief periods of time, usually in the company of others, and it's difficult to known when your intended target is in the elevator to attack them. If you're going to target someone via an elevator attack, you've likely got far more effective and specific vectors which would work.

Cars tend to be assigned to specific individuals (permanently, on an ongoing occasional basis for car-share programs, or for a trip duration in the case of dispatched livery) and, well, accidents happen, even with automation (other vehicles, mechanical failures, road or environmental conditions). Moreover, if your intent is to convey someone somewhere, it's a lot easier to do this via an automobile (which can travel anywhere on a paved road and non inconsiderable options on unpaved roads) than in an elevator, which, with the exception of Mr. Wonka's design, tend to follow a rather predictable and limited course.

If I were in charge of threat assessment for a VIP/HNWI, I'd very much take this threat into consideration.

We can do better
I'd tentatively suggest that the IETF has served its purpose, and is now at risk of outliving it.

This matches my own experience, as the author of multiple internet standards drafts and someone who asked them whether it would be possible to open a group to discuss financial networking. What a hornet's nest that stirred up!

Key examples of outdated properties include: finnicky document format requirements (straight from the 1970s), no unicode support within documents (PITA), document character width limitations that can prevent the effective presentation of required information (no fix for this), monolingual nature of its website and resources, and its own bureaucracy despite its official stance: "this is not a bureaucracy".

It occurs to me that we could replace the IETF RFC process with a git repo or a blockchain. Github should probably do this proactively.
Justice has not been served. People get longer sentences for marijuana possession. The prosecutors in those emails should be jailed for life along with the chemist.

... this is not justice.
That answer is attributing the badness to linked lists, whereas it is fully std::list's. Linked lists are very useful, but it's hard to see that when their canonical (and almost only) implementation is std::list, which is indeed almost entirely useless.
The chemist did something horrible and I am not trying to justify her actions. But I think that the true culprit of this is the system of incentives typical for US penal system. If the prosecutors are rewarded based on the number of convictions and prisons can be privately owned and prisoners can be exploited for private gain... something like this is inevitable. If sending people to prison is profitable business there is always going to be someone who decides to expand their 'business' by making sure as many people as possible get sent to prison no matter whether they are guilty or not.
I know Adam Back introduced Satoshi to b-money, but (correct me if I'm wrong) this was back before Satoshi had formalized his ideas. When he first posted the paper to metzdowd's cryptography list, the b-money citation was there.
It has a built-in port, so you can always use a PCI Ethernet card to get two ports. You'll probably still need a switch, though.
I think the jury is still out on that. Metagenomic studies have only become possible in the past decade, and consequently there haven't been any long tern studies in humans. Studies in mice have show that the normal microbiota is rather static throughout the full life of the host. If this extends to humans, then the microbes are the "egg" in the equation.
I started learning Scala almost a year ago at my latest job - we use it for production systems at a large multinational investment bank.

Coming to Scala from experience including C, Java and Haskell, I intially found Scala quite difficult. It is true that there are some things in Scala that are not obvious to newcomers, and that are difficult to discover for yourself - such as the use of Implicits, and the strange precedence and binding rules for operator syntax.

That said, it doesn't take long to learn, and once you do, it all makes sense. There are other great languages out there (I'd say Haskell is one), but compared to for example Java, or one of the dynamically typed languages, Scala is superb.

Types, whilst not having the full H-M inference, are brilliant. That the author complains about having types rather than a simple map for keys shows a misunderstanding of what they are there for - the idea is to allow the compiler to prove at run-time what is valid code and what isn't. He comments that tests run too slowly in Scala (they don't - for our production systems building in SBT, a typical test run is significantly less than 10 seconds) but a lot of the time I don't even need to go that far - my IDE already highlights errors in the code as I type, where I have passed in incorrect or insufficient data.

Also, the author makes a strange comment that H-M 'enabled' Monads, and the comment is written in a way that implies that Scala does not have Monads. This is incorrect. Scala has monads, and the Scalaz library has huge support for Monadic programming. We use Monads and Applicative Functors (a close relative) daily to build high level abstractions, and we couldn't live without them. In Scala we say flatMap rather than bind (or >>=), but we mean the same thing. Although thanks to the same flexible method naming that the author complains about, you can in fact say >>= if you wish.

If you've only got a couple of days to use a language, and you're using it for a tiny project, then Scala is not for you. If want to learn a language that can make you vastly more productive whilst at the same time making your code safer and more robust, Scala is a very effective candidate. It's not the only candidate, but you should at least consider it.
To be honest with you, I use Scala as a better Java. Which means I still code imperatively (and use null instead of None) but with less noise (semi colons etc).

But, esp when working with collections, I take advantage of Scala's features. It's not perfect, but it works wonderfully. I can always revisit/refactor my code again later.
Altcoins are a pure speculators world. We've seen many "better" technologically Twitters - yet, the one with the fail whale survived as it had all the mind share. Bitcoin is technologically millennias ahead of cash, yet, cash is still the king. Same with Bitcoin vs Litecoin, let's say. Nobody cares if Litecoin is technologically a bit better - all Google searches have "Bitcoin" in them and it's here to stay unlike Quarkcoin, Junkcoin, BBQCoin, and the ten other wannabes and copycats. The world doesn't need two Bitcoins - it defeats the purpose. The world doesn't care what "cryptocurrency" is - the world knows "Bitcoin". China likes altcoins as they lead mining operations and they need to sell their mined coins expensively, but China's interest and World's interest and not always parallel.
I think Scala is great as long as you stay on the road and not end up in the deep depths of academic hell (i.e. http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/01/covariance-and-contravari...).

I should say one thing however:

I'm using Scala because of Akka. An extremely powerful library that does a good job of hiding the complexities while still allowing you to be flexible.
I know, and it's also what they said about holograms, personal flying machines etc. Teleporting. And yes, some of those have happened or will happen sooner or later.

I'm not saying it's not going to happen, I'm just saying that this particular thing, I don't believe in.

But fair enough, I didn't provide any decent information to back up my statement, so I won't ask you to either.
There is no way to change English into a regular language, unless you create a completely new language. Latin is already a highly regular language by the definition of its grammar.

As for writing CS papers in Latin, there is no reason why you can't do it by importing the existing vocabulary, the same way English imported the vocabulary it needed from other languages.
gold as a storage of value makes no logical sense

1) it's relatively rare
2) it's easily minted into objects of consistent mass.
3) because of quantum mechanics, gold has a yellow color. This makes it easy to verify gold content without advanced technology. You take a set of "gold standards", say, 99%, 90%, 80%, 75%, and then make a series of streaks against a black rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchstone_%28assaying_tool%29). Then you take your sample and make a cross-streak. Then you and your trading partner can agree upon an approximate purity level at which you are willing to make the trade for goods.

currencies will be backed by actual work that provides social and economical value

Who decides what this value is? By hours consumed? Is one hour of sitting on your butt playing a video game worth the same as one hour helping to build a rocket that is destined to try to destroy a (hypothetical) asteroid on a collision course with the planet? How about by "type of work"? Well then, is one hour sitting on your butt playing a video game worth the same as one hour sitting on your butt playing a video game in a playtesting environment?
(Full disclosure: we're currently working with Typesafe to write up a case study of our experiences with Scala/Akka/Play)

SBT has improved quite a bit since the 0.7/0.10 days. Still a bit of a mess. That said, we have an SBT project with multiple subprojects, multi-JVM testing and lots of other stuff and we don't feel that our Build.scala has gotten out of hand. That said, many others feel differently.

IMO, the collections libraries have also improved. The problem of the collections library details bubbling through the API has been largely fixed though others may disagree. Can't attest to performance as I haven't profiled the Scala collections.

Most of the Scala we write is within the context of Akka where idiomatic patterns are well established. Plus, the community is quite strong with most (all?) of the Akka devs active on the mailing list.

There are still some poorly designed libraries popular within the Scala world. The Dispatch library is a good example of this. OTOH, there are great alternatives. Play's HTTP client library is very straightforward, for example, an HTTP GET: WS.url(myURL).get(). None Dispatch's periodic table gobbledygook.

We're quite happy with Scala. An example: originally, our backend was going to be in Java but I convinced one of our founders to give Scala a shot. In one sitting, his first time writing Scala, he wrote the first pass of our analytics service and it was correct the first time it compiled.
Steam breaks 7 mil concurrent users; more than a million more than last year
Here's how India can become an economically "developed" country
I think it may be but I came to the Java ecosystem to escape RoR.... it seems we should be able to do better than emulating Rails minus the existing gem community, no?

I have much more faith in the JVM but would like to see it provide a step beyond Rails rather than catching up. Play is nice because it is trying to accomplish this with Akka, though yes I see there are other issues. As mentioned in another comment, I'm kindof just wishing there was a cool Clojure framework. Maybe I will try one even there is not so much of a consensus as there are around these other emerging JVM frameworks...
I think you need to dig a bit deeper than the rationalizations people give for their actions.

There is a difference between a person who genuinely considers what they are doing to be OK, and people who are actually rationlizing things they know deep down to be wrong.

I think your implicit assumption that anyone might have acted like she did, in her position, is wrong. Both a person's innate (not necessarily genetic) moral goodness, and the circumstances a person finds themselves in, play a role in how they are act.

In trying to avoid one kind of simplistic viewpoint, I think you are falling for the opposite one.
The reducers library is actually rather declarative. Operations that are unordered are executed in parallel, whereas those that need to be ordered are executed in a single thread.
