As far as I know, the submachine gun has a somewhat different and simpler operating principle.

The assault rifle key invention is piping gas from quite far downstream the barrel to a piston that pushes the receiver back and makes it pick a new round. So you get delayed pushback. In a submachine gun with immediate receiver recoil you either lose a lot of gas or have to make the receiver heavy.

That's also why the AK47 looks like it looks, it has a "twin barrel" part way, that's where the gas piston is.
Yeah, I was stressing "widespread" as its unrealistic for any modern country to not commit some resources to intelligence gathering.

People don't use static site generators to simply avoid having to set up caching.

They use them for their simplicity and flexibilty. You can edit the posts anywhere, even when not connected to the net. You can use your favorite text editor to edit them. You don't need to worry about upgrading your blog engine to patch out the latest security vulnerabilities. If you later decide to change markup formats, or templating systems, or change your blog engine entirely, you don't need to decide between importing your content into the new one (which is generally a messy and lossy process) or running an outdated one which you still need to keep security updates on or being exploited; you just leave your old static files alone, and use your new generator or blog engine or whatnot for the new content.

It's obviously not appropriate for every use case; if your data really needs to be dynamic, then it doesn't help. But there are plenty of reasons to use it beyond just efficiency, and even there, it makes getting those efficiency gains a lot easier than a dynamic site does.

We do cut to the chase. Some people have seen this as aggressive. If we get the sense that this will turn them off and they seem like a company we want to work with we'll push off that conversation. But most times I am up front and tell them our rate ($6k/week/dev) and I tell them we are looking for contracts with a budget over $50k. I don't have all of the time in the world and I know the client is likely meeting with other agencies. If we are not a financial fit for them then it is better they know that earlier than later.
I remember learning about that in micro econ. Maybe I did learn something in business school after all.

I'm always suspicious of "We do X because..." stories. Just because the world is complex, and almost nothing happens for one specific reason.

I just can't believe that something so natural and obvious (everyone going to work/leaving at a fixed time) can be attributed to a single CEO and his misguided economic theories.

He might have provided a nudge in that direction, but I don't believe it was an important factor. And yes, I am too lazy to check.

colomon is right. Thanks for pointing this out colomon.

Sorry HNers and P6ers.

I feel so embarrassed. I'm usually almost pathologically careful. I have an explanation if anyone wants it but I suspect an excuse is uninteresting so will skip that for now.

Instead I'll say I am now committed to trying to implement this (it's in the spec, just not yet implemented) by updating Rakudo's sort method:

The bias discussed in the original article is pretty well documented.

Thanks for the feedback, let me be clear about some things from your message:

> * Low-end smart-phone should not do basic things such as calling and texting worse than a low-end feature phone (dumb phones). Author is pining for his old, low-end feature phone after using ZTE Open

Basic phone stuff such as calling, texting work pretty well. These are common things that all phones do well right now.

> * While adaptive search may not be a market place, if it looks like one to the user, then it will be percieved like one and confuse the user.

Adaptative search does not look like a marketplace, it looks like a search engine. There is a marketplace icon that launches the marketplace app which has a experience similar to other app stores. Bonus point: Our app store is open source, you can fork it and create your own.

> * Platform ecosystem is a valid critiscism. The main criticism of windows mobile is lack of apps. While that is not the systems fault, MS are being active in improving this, since they know that this is the main feature of a modern smart phone. If Mozilla don't realize this either, they are in trouble. It may not be ffOS's fault that the twitter app is bad, by users don't want it if it doesn't have a good twitter app.

Mozilla has paid staff and volunteers working on making the experiences better. Lots of the vendors are listening and improving. Remember this platform is on its first year and yet we're moving very fast.

> * Critiscism of here maps should be directed at ffOS. Other maps exists, mozilla has strong ties with Google, Mozilla chose this one as default. Also see above. My limited experience with here maps from windows mobile showed me a great service, so maybe the author is off on this one.

Here Maps is also going thru updates and is working better than before. Its a good map. I like the offline saving of maps, makes me use less internet.

> I don't know what the feature phone market looks like in Brazil, but if its anything like the Chinese, then it doesn't sound like the ZTE Open beats the feature phone market.

We don't have the ZTE open in here, we have the Alcatel One Touch Fire and the LG Fireweb. They are all similar. They perform better than the feature phones. Our main difficulty right now is the lack of apps (its getting better) and the quality of some apps (its also getting better).

> I was getting a ffOS phone for christmas, until I realized that the only one available to me is a ZTE Open. It really does look like a crappy representative for ffOS, but if this is what Mozilla and ZTE decided on, then the software side should run more than decently.

The ZTE is a cool phone but it is a low end device, you can't compare it with a heavily subsided phone such as the moto g. They have different purposes.

One thing that some people often doesn't realize is that Mozilla launched an open system with at least 4 hardware partners and 18 carriers this year. A system that promotes open standards and freedom from a community that values your privacy. Mozilla doesn't operate to generate profit and answers to no one but the users. This is a system made by people that have the same values as we do and we're moving fast.
Having better programming tools is a useful goal. Writing applications is another one. Not all applications need advanced maths, though. In many Lisp applications many different kinds of maths have been necessary and used. All kinds of symbolic and numeric mathematics have been used.
But Lisp has been also a topic of study and research - as it is also an application of symbolic mathematics. See for example Chaitin, The Limits of Mathematics. https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~chaitin/lm.html or the research on Scheme: http://library.readscheme.org .
Or maybe KeePass is redundant with KeePassX available.

The KeePass model of development is not very appealing to contributors or anyone who might want to review the code for security. KeePass has no official public repository and only has a dump of the source code for each version the author releases. (Although some people have turned them into repos, the lack of proper commit logs means it's not very easy to see exactly what is being changed[1])

On the other hand, KeePassX is developed in the open like most open source software. I think I'd rather trust that people are reviewing the code here.

Yeah it's there, but it doesn't work anywhere nearly as quickly or effectively as it says it does.
Could SE improve that by generating a sitemap that de-emphasizes closed questions? IIRC Google gives the option to control the relative weighting of various pages without deindexing them entirely. (Although maybe a sitemap on the scale of SO would be problematic in some way? I've certainly never tried to create one that large.)
A bigger kern on the 'f' in 'future' would create a ligature. I suspect the web font and, more importantly, the HTML creator would not perform the substitution.

The part geohot reversed in this article is the non-persistent set of exploits used to get root.

The persistent (and buggy) stage of the exploit used to "untether" (re-exploit on reboot) and patch the OS is obfuscated. That's where a backdoored exploit would be if there was one anyway.

I think it's unlikely the evad3rs actually included a backdoor in their payload, but the way they handled their release was still silly enough that I won't install it. iOS jailbreaks are all taken on faith (after all, nobody but them knows what's in that obfuscated untether/patch binary) and they didn't do a lot to build any.

Agreed. Just because an industry hit a certain level of profitability doesn't mean it should be guaranteed to do the same indefinitely. If change comes to entertainment than change comes to entertainment.

I dunno, if I tried to do your job, I'd just feel like I was just flicking matches onto gasoline. I mean, it might just be possible that you guys are overdoing it on the defense and could spend a bit less time on the gun designs. I understand that things that go bang are fun, but you already have a reasonable number of different cluster munitions and have a large enough army to take on all the others at once, so I am not sure I see the excess utility to your society in spending too much time in designing a new one.
I generally like this, but it needs to ditch the weird animated background of the first-startup screen and the wood-grain background of the control settings screen.

Like always "divide and conquer." In a big program, I identify "subprograms" that can have only the "interface" (the very limited set of structures and functions) exposed to the rest. The subprograms aren't "libraries" in a sense that I do much faster changes to the "interface" but just having them makes everything much more maintainable. So some headers are visible only inside of the "subprogram." Second: not everything is worth to appear in headers at all: I use the functions and declarations local to the compilation unit as much as I can.

Back to the main topic, using structures properly will result in the best code you can produce for anything not trivially small. Practically every CPU I know of is specifically optimized to make addressing elements in the C structure as efficient as possible.

In your case, if there are a lot of functions to which you pass the pointer to the structure, then if you take care of the organization it means that they really do have to operate on the structure. But if you have a lot of arguments to any function, you probably need some even bigger structure and pass that around.

Spying on foreign governments is to be expected, but not very much against allies, and not at all against average non-politically-powerful citizens. That's going well beyond the duties of the job.
I don't even use a site generator. I just edit the html directly via ssh. I use putty from win machines, ssh from nix machines, and connectbot on android (with Hacker'S Keyboard).

Once there, I use nano, it's fine for editing small text files.

the VPS I'm on costs $10/month, but you can get them for $15 a year. Yes, I've had to learn how to use debian from command-line, but I am very, very glad I know how now.

If you want, you can use a sftp-capable text editor, and that works too. I used to use jEdit, but it's not installed everywhere, and it's definitely not installed on my smart phone, so...

Also, for those who complain that the site looks like 1993, that's intended, as it looks fine and loads very fast in mobile, and that's essentially my only target platform.
Well here's the numbers for the US only :

I think it's pretty safe to say that money involved in the climate change network is at least 10 times the money being invested in denier networks.

And frankly the results are equally stupid. The IPCC has released 5 reports. Their predictions were wrong every single time. AR0, AR1, AR2, AR3, the world did not warm anywhere near their 95% predictions. So let's calculate. About one report every 5 years ... 95% "certainty" interval ... that means that if you believe the IPCC "certainty" they have made the mistakes they claim to make in 800000 (20^4 * 5) years, in 20 years.

Question for empiricists : why do you believe in climate change ? The predictions of climate change theory, as compiled by the IPCC, are falsified. It SHOULD be that simple.

Needless to say, color me in the "chaotic climate change" camp. I don't say it's not gotten warmer but I do say :

1) You cannot predict the effect of energy additions to a chaotic system. It may get colder as a result (and it has). Climate change theory only works on a planet in thermodynamic equilibrium, in other words, it would work on the moon. It doesn't work on the earth. A famous paper was published in 1962 with a proof that climate was chaotic, and that should really have been the end of any prediction.

2) The fact that it's chaotic means that there is no reasonable (finite, non-omniscient) way to predict climate evolution.

3) As a matter of principle, and organisation that publishes wrong predictions 4 times in a row should be laughed out of office, and out of funding. I think that this didn't happen indicates we just really, really, really want to believe climate change is happening and is human-caused.

It's kinda neat how they are sending disk/block-level reads and writes, probably using a user-space/local HFS file system implementation, to inject the exploit, since the mounted file system is read-only.

* Germanic language countries: 4

* Asia: 4

The breakdown between English-speaking countries shows no preference for any. The breakdown within the US shows San Francisco Bay Area disproportionately represented, followed by Seattle and Boston in a 2nd tier disproportionate by population. Capital cities are disproportionately represented within other English-speaking and Germanic language speaking countries.

I'm in a really similar situation to the author's. I've been using WordPress for quite a long time, among several (usually shared) hostings, only to realize how disgusting it is to move a WordPress website from one place to another. With Pelican I can have the entire source of my website in Dropbox or a pendrive, and edit the articles in Markdown anywhere.

Lately I had been all the cool kids using Octopress, but I don't like Ruby, not to mention its programming environment (installing rvm, for example). Also, Octopress's default theme is a total mess. I love Python, so Pelican is a total win for me.
Maybe it would be helpful to modify "entitled free of charge on PACER" to a phrasing that includes information about how the charges are unreasonable.

I happen to know that under the law, PACER access is not required to be "free of charge", and thus the rest of the statement falls flat. Even though I agree that PACER pricing is out of touch with the law due it's pricing being well above the costs required to maintain the system.

While I'm not sure of your target audience with your statement, it's clear that on some level federal employees of the court system are included. They may also know "free of charge" is not what the law says, and thus it may also undermine your argument with them as well.
