Unfortunately, this is what happens to online communities. Particularly those run by teenagers. I've been a member of a number of communities that have suffered deaths in very similar ways -- choked by the people who own the rights at the expense of the volunteers and the community.

It's unfortunate, because I find that often volunteer teenagers are the ones that truly have a passion for doing what they are doing, but they get held up by corporations or by people who want to monetize. When that doesn't work, the people in charge ignore the community until it dies.

It's sad to see it happen to another community.
A quick performance hack that would help a lot is that you should cache trends to disk and only generate new trends if the previously generated trends are too stale.

You're doing a lot of unnecessary computation calculating trends fresh for every user.
Personally I'd make it not sample the same phrase within the same article title, or count subphrases as a different topic... In particular, there's an article with "China Mobile" mentioned twice, and it seems to be counted twice for that subject, as well as the subphrase "China" and "Mobile" being counted twice, each as a separate topic.

To show you what I mean:

{
"trends": [
{
"count": 2,
"phrase": "China"
},
{
"count": 2,
"phrase": "Hacker"
},
{
"count": 2,
"phrase": "Redis"
},
{
"count": 2,
"phrase": "Mobile"
},
{
"count": 2,
"phrase": "China Mobile"
},
{
"count": 2,
"phrase": "How To"
}
]
}
That... is an impressive post.

> My point was that super fancy IDEs and plain old text editors alike could reuse the same tooling and not have to reimplement things like language parsing, analysis, and refactoring tooling.

Parsing and analysis are great examples: if you accept that batch is the best that can be done, they are completely reusable in lots of different contexts. As soon as you want something interactive, standardization and integration become much more tricky (I know directly from experience in writing interactive parsing and analysis tools).

> Also if you refuse, on account of bias, to understand why people might find such a design (command-line application invoked from different programming environments to augment functionality) then you are damning yourself to be ignorant of how other people think and work.

My early 90s self completely agrees with you. My current self is much more interested in non-batch interactive tooling, the mainstream is also.

> Maybe that's not an ethos at Microsoft or MSR, but it is in the various open source communities I've been in.

Along with much of the OO PL community, please don't forget (though we divide into static easy-to-tool languages and dynamic hard-to-tool languages).

> You clearly have not used Emacs or any of the Haskell tooling I use.

I was a heavy emacs user in the 90s (from about 92 to 2003 or so). It was a fine text editor, I would have never called it an IDE though.

> My Emacs environment of today would be utterly alien to myself-10-years-ago. Or even 3-5 years ago. Or even 2 years ago. A lot of evolution can happen when you've been improving the same tooling over and over for multiple decades.

Please educate me. How about your own workflow: does your emacs IDE provide code assist (I think Haskell Eclipse does right?), does it provide a nice debugger?

> You should really try immersing yourself in how Emacs users work these days, you really have no idea at all.

I used Emacs for 10 years in the 90s, early 00s, I don't miss it at all. Language-aware editing with code completion has been a huge win in PL and I don't see us going back. But these kinds of tools are complicated and not as interoperable as the old text pipe-based batch tooling was in the past.
I disagree. It does not lack a diversity of ideas. You have many different teams attacking the same problem, and achieving very different results. One thing to understand is that F1 is very driven by politics. Those politics take a toll on innovation. Go back to the year 1993, and the Williams-Renault team was able to dominate the field with their technologically advanced car. It featured an adjustable suspension that would allow the driver to take the turns much faster. Making the lead driver for the team (Alain Prost) much faster than other (better) drivers (like Ayrton Senna). The technology was banned due to a mix of inner-politics and protests by other teams.

Even with all of the things that go down, we still get rules that push for engineering efforts like the KERS system. Which is making its way into other racing series (the ideas and technologies, not the actual system).

That generation M3 required very strict oil change intervals with a specific oil that BMW strongly recommended. Due to the clearance in the main bearings. Not to say that this isn't bothersome, but that it is not a regular engine. Not like BMW has not been in any engine fiasco. They had a very notorious issue with Nikasil and quick degradation of the cylinder bores.

The engine in the C5 started to be developed in the late 80's. It was part of the push to day view the LT-series. The LS-series was GM's answer to the increasing CAFE standards. As it is a more efficient engine.

The point about smaller engines not being more efficient is correct. Size of engine does not imply efficiency. But from a pure fuel consumption point of view, the smaller engine will consume less fuel than the bigger one. Just like it takes less water to fill a bucket than to fill a pool.

I know you did not try and make the C5 an example of innovation. It was just amusing (for me personally) that a C5 owner was making claims of great fuel economy and at the same time criticizing F1 for a lack of diversity of ideas (as you so eloquently put it).

The K1200R is a fine bike, though. Drive safe.
Its definitely true that we consumers are the ones getting shafted by this deal.

However, I'd rather they use this approach and temporarily drop limits than potentially let some consumers (who are more than likely unaware of what happened) possibly wake up XMas day to a drained checking account because they made the mistake of using a debit card.

Theres nothing quite as a bad as going to put gas in your tank only to find someone drained your account.

You forgot to mention that author based his article around a test with 4 subjects. Eg. statistic results based on a sample size of 4.

I think we do not even have to debate the quality of the coffee used in the tests and that the coffee the author brought from home was ground 4 days earlier.
The Corvette does have a very tall 6th gear, which allows the engine to cruise at very low RPM. It does have enough torque to overtake on 6th, though. :)
I'm actually curious if there is a forum or fora where only vetted well intentioned legal scholars are able to crowd source legal advice and research in cases like this.

I know that StackExchange is trying to do something like this for patents, but it would be interesting to see something similar for constitutional legal issues like this and maybe forums for other areas like medical law, etc.

Prosecutors can throw the entire weight and resources of the US government, but it would be nice if the people could throw around the weight of the entire legal community without tipping their hand in court (e.g. allowing the prosecution to see what the defense will argue in court for example).

If such a forum existed, it would be interesting if the terms of service could help with establishing a looser attorney-client relationship, where you are entitled to share all the information with all the eligible users (i.e. licensed by eligible state bar associations), but where those users are more arms length and have fewer obligations except for good faith (i.e. can't be sued for any advice unless it can be demonstrated that they are a ill intentioned actor, such as one acting on behalf of the other side, such as the prosecution).

I wish we'd collectively only buy things where the root exploit was like ticking an "I want root" checkbox. If buyers collectivized their buying power we wouldn't need to worry about "down the line" companies would release it with root or the product would fail.

Sigh. While I'm at it, I'd also like a sack full of hundreds and a unicorn.
They do focus on technology, but the rules are strict, and hardly ever change a lot. The basic ideas behind the Cup series has not changed much in a long time. But the implementations are quite amazing. Just look at the engines themselves. Or the safety improvements they have developed over the years. Plus, NASCAR is about being good at cheating and being great at not being caught.
Have you ever seen unions concerned in improving work results, quality of the product and productivity? Accepting Even if workers conditions that could be more demanding?

the contrast is much more apparent than the analogy.

I worked in waterfall shops long enough to know that those were like unionized jobs where you could fair better by producing more code lines by copy/paste than by thinking. And the worst programmers moved the ladder to better paid non-programming "analyst" or "architect" jobs faster, not wasting their time on code details.

This appears to be a strong denial, which they support by claiming that NSA was successfully promoting Dual EC DRBG as a better RNG to NIST and the tech industry. That is, they were being misled as much as anyone else who believed the NSA regarding Dual EC DRBG.

That sounds good. But the don't even go near the heart of the matter, which, from the Reuters report is:

Undisclosed until now was that RSA received $10 million in a deal that set the NSA formula as the preferred, or default, method for number generation in the BSafe software, according to two sources familiar with the contract. Although that sum might seem paltry, it represented more than a third of the revenue that the relevant division at RSA had taken in during the entire previous year, securities filings show.

RSA does not deny that they took $10M to use Dual EC DRBG as the default in BSafe. Nor do they say why they did, if there is a reason other than that the NSA paid to make it so. They do not say why they took a sum which boosted their revenue by over 30% in return for no deliverables other than a change in default configuration - a couple minutes of work.
Wrong RSA is denying incorporating "a known flawed random number generator" into BSAFE in 2004. Elsewhere in the same press release RSA states that they did not consider Dual EC DRBG to be considered flawed until September 2013 despite being aware of concerns dating back to 2007. Therefore in 2004 when RSA added Dual EC DRBG into BSAFE it was not "a known flawed random number generator".

They also admit to a business relationship with the NSA but refuse to discuss it.
I don't see why it isn't illegal since it is clearly unconstitutional. Asking for access to the keys to everything is absurd and clearly not aligned with "particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Asking for the keys is the same as saying "we're asking to search all persons and all things." That most certainly exceeds the scope of the word "particular", especially when you take the words "upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation" into account, since they clearly don't have probably cause for the other ~399,999 subscribers.

If the Constitution isn't clear enough on this matter, maybe this is something that we should pass into law. The government should never ever ever being able to ask for access to all the information from any service provider in third-party doctrine cases.

> doesn't this go against the modus operandi of the airlines? I was under the impression that they don't want you to see the fees when you purchase your ticket.

Correct, they definitely don't.

> In some ways, I don't think Kayak/Expedia/etc. want to show you the full fare either. They want to show you a price you'll pay. Too bad for you if your flight ends up costing considerably more.

Here's where I'm conflicted - I think someone in travel search is eventually going to solve this. As the fees grow in size and complexity it's going to be a significant competitive advantage to someone to price these fees, because doing so would change actual buying decisions at some point.
Any expected or potential side effects?
I'm a bit confused at what this article is trying to prove.

I live in Australia, which surprisingly has some of the best coffee culture in the world, but here you sort of just expect that all restaurants serve pretty crap coffee. I would never, ever use it as a benchmark for good coffee...

In my city (third largest in the country), we have hundreds of little cafes that either roast on-site or are supplied by local artesian roasters. The quality of the product that many of these places are producing is pretty incredible (to my taste at least), and I have never had a capsule coffee that comes close...
You're right. I do plan on improving the call. This was one of my ideas, but then I was confused about which one to keep - one word or the two word topic.
I have a relative who is still making very good money writing one-off custom applications for all sorts of local businesses. He works entirely in Visual Basic with an Access back-end. He doesn't even use .Net, it's all old-school VB.

With social tech sites like HN and /r/programming, we tend to forget that the business needs that drove the RAD CRUD-type apps of the 1990s never went away, it's just not interesting to talk about anymore.

I can't understand why it is not illegal by way of being unconstitutional since it clearly tramples on the 4th amendment rights of all the other subscribers.

Absent clear mechanisms for watching the watchmen to make sure they not only respecting the 4th amendment rights of the other subscribers, but technically incapable of doing so (in order to mitigate rogue actors that want to impress their superiors via fishing expeditions), I can't see why we should have any reason to believe this information will not be abused. The government, especially the NSA and the FBI (by way of parallel construction), have proven to be outright liars. This alone should be enough for a judge to rule against the right of the government to make such broad requests. The government has be proven guilty of lying here. The burden is now on them to show that they are no longer guilty.

I doubt the phone is just constantly broadcasting an unlock code. If it's correctly designed, the lock and the phone would authenticate each other cryptographically using a nonce or time/date to prevent replay attacks.
That would be hard. Reuters have not reported that RSA took $10 million, they have reported that documents leaked by Snowdon claim that RSA took $10 million.
This is why nobody should ever use a debit card... just get credit cards.
It struck me as someone who was earnestly trying to appear more educated than they are, or someone who'd recently (re)read "A Confederacy of Dunces".

That said, the thought occurred to me that it might be someone aware of how easily one would otherwise be able to match up their linguistic patterns and identify them to another online persona, and that perhaps they were actively trying to combat that.

The former scenarios are completely contrary to the former, and it shouldn't be forgotten that this is all very recent, and not something that concluded years, months, weeks, or even days ago, so it's possible we haven't seen the last of it.
No they wouldn't need that, there is plenty of evidence to investigate here without the need to buy half of the world's production of hard drives in perpetuity. What's needed is law enforcement's cooperation to bring the perpetrators to justice—that might be a little harder to do actually, but as the scale of this sort of things increases even the most crooked of eastern bloc countries are going to start getting a few offers they can't refuse.
I usually try to use my beans within two weeks (and after around four days resting period) after roasting. But we have pretty bad humidity here so maybe you could keep it longer elsewhere.

And that doesn't mean anything when the signal is mirrored in duplex. We're talking about EMG, a wireless signal, not quantum bits that can be secured against reflection.

It isn't a man-in-the-middle attack, because nothing is being altered, crypto doesn't mean shit.

I'd call it a man-in-the-mirror attack ;-) The receiver/sender can't tell the difference.

Automatic unlock is a huge vulnerability.

I would not trust a company that doesn't bother to even mention these issues, even if they've defeated them, which I highly highly doubt. This product plays on the convenience factor, and does not really address anything technical. Cute, but no thanks. I'd rather have a safe house than a hipsterly cute one.

The NSA is really bizarre because they have two missions: 1) to break encryption and spy, and 2) to make better encryption so the enemy can't spy on the U.S.

It makes sense if you think about it: Both goals are useful to Uncle Sam and both require the same skill set. The trouble is it obviously creates quite the conflict of interest.

If we didn't have immune systems the species would have long been extinct in the primordial soup.

> It's virtually impossible to be a great cook at home; commercial cooking equipment puts out a lot more heat than consumer equipment and it does make a difference. Take a simple roasted chicken: what comes out of your home oven will not be the same as what comes out of a commercial oven.

You can create a great roast chicken at home. Very few dishes require a specialized oven or more than 450 degrees F.

The key difference between a home kitchen and a commercial kitchen is that in a commercial kitchen, you have more space, stocked ingredients, and more tools. And a bunch of apprentices to do stuff for you. You can cook everything at home that you can in a commercial kitchen, just less efficiently.
