> They are anchors of a sort, they're just inconvenient because they change from version to version and often aren't included in online versions.

Most online versions I've seen do include both the citation and page numbers from the official reporters.

> If a court says (in slightly more words) "pages 205 to 207 are overruled" there are often paragraphs that span from pages 204-205 and from 207-208 that are ambiguous

US courts don't generally do that. They cite prior cases using page references, but they don't say "pages X-Y" are overruled. Its not a matter of more or less words, that's just not how they work at all. If they are reversing a lower court decision, they simply state that the decision is reversed (and if it is reversed in part, they describe which effects are reversed, which may not map to specific separable parts of the text). If they are stating a new legal rule overriding a prior precedent, they simply state the new legal rule.

> and it gets even worse when a different book version is paginated so that the range above covers part of page 621 to part of page 624.

Different books aren't the official reporter. Different books (or online sources) that are intended to be legal references will often include, as anchors in the text, the page numbers from the official reporter at the point in the text where the pages break in the official reporter.

As an example in an online source, consider the Findlaw entry for The Amistad [1]. The heading includes the reference to the official reporter (40 U.S. 518) -- 518 is the page number on which the case starts in the official reporter.

Throughout the text on Findlaw, you'll see blue notes like "[40 U.S. 518, 523]" -- these indicate points of page breaks in the official reporter (they follow the style of standard legal citation, so 40 U.S. 518, 523 marks the beginning point of page 523, in the case beginning at page 518, in volume 40 of the United States Reports.)

How about bringing the office closer to them. Put a Google office in Oakland near a Bart station?

People won't complain if Oakland starts to gentrify, right? Maybe Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc can work out a deal with the city to get tax breaks. It's a win for everyone.
This plan is still available I believe as I got this plan at the beginning of December.

That's an interesting point. One way to approach it would be to say that it is an unconscious state because of the very fact that one cannot recall it.

Here is a quote from RSA rep Hugh Thompson after explaining his "disappointment" with the cancellations;

How to keep your vehicle running in the polar blast
I may take this blog post and turn it into a bug report for the ghc optimizer. :-)

The moment you start trying to compete against hand written assembly, any high level lang gets a bit quirky. One nice thing about ghc Haskell is you can though! A lot of my own open source work is towards a vision of making that much easier than it is today :-)
So obvious to me because I've been heads down on this :) Thanks, great suggestion!
We disagree on most levels.

Entertainment is to art what a tabloid is to Iliad.

Torture is not a topic. Examples of topics: war, love, jealousy, courage, friendship, etc.

Torture is not uncomfortable per se, it is hot in US because of recent events and revelations. Inflicting pain to someone in order to get what one want is just the most common thing in the world. What is weird is to make a show with this pain, it reminds me of witch burning: you'd bring kids and would get angry if a good guy killed her already.

However I agree that it is stupid to expect art to stay away from anything: this beast has its own reasons and goes were it pleases.

GPL ensures that your fork's users get the same freedom to use the software that you get from the original/base... If you don't like the license, don't use it. There are plenty of people that don't use any commercial software if they can avoid it.
I live in Mykolayiv, small city in Ukraine and we have similar venue here called "Moloko" (milk in ukrainian). It's not snacks or tea/coffee that matters, it's community and events that happen there.

Owners actively encourage socialising, there are events almost every day and it hosts several clubs. In fact I just returned a few hours from Mafia club meeting there.

Also, they encourage to host your own events there, for free. I. e. they get paid from visitors and you get venue. You can also take higher price for your event if needed.
Ironically, the C++ code he's attempting to match itself uses a higher-level language[1] to generate a soup of tables and gotos[2]. But I think that observation supports the point he'd likely make: Haskell allows both the higher-level expressions of problems that produce optimization opportunities while preserving the option of dropping down to low-level trickiness if that's what you really need.

Yeah. They have web banking and a mobile app. I can even deposit checks from my phone.

I have to ask though, is this seriously not the case for CU's in Ireland? I think here in the US this is totally common place and nobody would use a CU if they didn't offer these services.

Will al-Qada field a team; or bring any hot chicks in burkas to seduce the winners?
Well, the way I understand RMS's fomulation of the 4 basic freedoms is that the right to keep your code secret is a freedom of the individual, not of the software, because no one can enjoy software that they couldn't have had if that right hadn't been granted. On the other hand, removing this right "frees" the software. You see, the FSF is all about "free software", not free people. Only indirectly do the people benefit from the software being free.

More practically, history has shown us that the GPL is necessary in order to ensure that companies don't short the community, suddenly improve everything and leave us with 99% of people using the proprietary fork. To illustrate my point, the clearest example (and the only large one) is the free distributions of BSD, mainly used by companies developing proprietary forks for it and contributing back very little. On the other side is Linux, used by companies for its freedom, security and reliability. The companies using it contribute back because they have to, continually making it stronger and always remaining free (unlike BSD, which can have many proprietary and untrusted libraries which cannot be used with security or reliability in mind). Linux is therefore getting larger only thanks to the GPL and its strong enforcement.

And this example can be applied to the entire copyleft vs permissive license debate, showing how software being free benefits the people more than people being free.
Everyone is required to act like police to some extent. If someone comes into your sporting goods store looking to buy a baseball bat to attack his neighbor, you're required not to sell it to him (and in some jurisdictions, you're required to call the police).
And the author of that software doesn't need to use software that is GPL if they want to create a commercial product... they can use more permissive software (MIT etc), license commercial libraries, or write their own.
Defcon is more of a recreational conference than a professional venue. Black Hat, CanSec... maybe Recon, HITB... those are the professional venues. CRYPTO and ASIACRYPT are major crypto venues.

Nothing is going to happen at any of them. RSAC is an oddity in that it is a conference that cuts across the whole industry that is "owned" by a single vendor.

I was a C64 kid all the way, but the Apple II was released four or five years earlier than the C64. It very definitely blazed the way for the C64, and arguably deserves the place of honor in the list; I don't think the C64 would have been what it was without Apple going first. (Leaving C64 totally off the 6502 list is a travesty, though.)

> GPL ensures that your fork's users get the same freedom to use the software that you get from the original/base...

That phrasing presumes that the existence of a fork is not determined by the license terms.

GPL guarantees that the would-be users of a fork that would have been made by someone not interested in (or able to, because of conflicting requirements necessary to actually produce the fork in question) providing Free software on the particular terms in the version of the GPL used by the particular upstream provider on which the putative fork would depend get nothing at all.

Yeah, solution is the name in VS for it. Workspace is maye a better name. Basically a file containing more than 1 project file (like a project + all it's libraries).

The problems with configuration files are solved when typical settings for a user/machine are never inside project file settings. I know one IDE which for example saves the currently active project of a solution in the solution file. But that's something everyone is changing all the time and is really a user-specific setting. Sounds trivial but is really annoying in combination with version control systems.
tl;dr: redefine 'living like a king'.

> The moment you start trying to compete against hand written assembly, any high level lang gets a bit quirky.

Yes, which is why I wonder why GHC went with it's own code generator instead of using LLVM? It seems like a lot of the outputted assembly would be coalesced with LLVM's optimizer passes. Is there work on this problem within the Haskell world?
The best thing is having the entire article on a single page. No more clicking through to see the second (or third, or fourth...) part, yay.

I really hate this logic. 16:9 is a horrible format for displays - 90% of the usage of a work monitor (which is what this is targeted towards).

Sure 4K (UHD) is exciting, but I'm really hoping for the 16:10 or taller formats.

- "At what hotel, in the modern first world"

=> egocentric world view. Ignoring the somewhat interesting discussion about what you consider the 'modern first world' this statement makes you a jerk. You replied to a post that said that I'm currently _in_ a hotel in Bern, CH. 'modern first world'?

- snarky responses: Except for the one to your post I don't think I wrote one today. I consider that one deserved.

- complicity: Granted. Good point. You are right and I certainly could (should?) have acted a number of times. Yes, that makes me a jerk as well, I guess.

- The hotel business: I .. don't believe you're qualified to judge the business, quite frankly. But neither am I.

What really makes me turn green and quite angry: You totally missed the whole point of this thread. You're so far off, it is not even funny. The article that this comment thread is connected to is about a very interesting and charming idea, about a cafe that charges you for time and nothing else. Someone posted a rather bland 'So what if I abuse that' comment and I said 'Well - that is totally not clever and you can already do that like .. everywhere.' and provided a couple of examples. Staying in a hotel tonight, for the rest of the week, I chose the examples that were closest to me at that time. Yes, the thread then began to focus a little bit too much on my examples, but your statement here ("And it's hardly news that being dishonest can get you free things - so can shoplifting from the grocery, why not simplify your life and just do that if you want free cashews so badly?") shows that you were totally unable to read before you commented. Your statement is - frankly - stupid.

Cafe in London charges for time. I like that.
Someone says 'I can break it!'. I say 'Amazing, it is hardly news that being dishonest...' - oh wait, I didn't. I stated the very same thing, but didn't use your words and it wasn't a grocery it was a hotel.. But cool, you just stated what I posted directly below the top-level post while indirectly accusing me to take advantage of dishonest behavior at the same time ('if you want free cashews so badly'). I'd really, really suggest to start at the top again and read more carefully the next time.

And I'm allergic to cashews, you insensitive clod. :)
If you are waiting for The People to get on your side, forget it. That's never how it works. They'll get there once it's completely obvious to the most casual observer (there's a tautology in this if you look). At which point the fight is over and they'll be no help. If you don't like what's happening, do what you can do. Now. Don't wait.

People want to live in the temperate area of the bay. Younger people, in general, aren't interested in the suburbs anymore, and that leaves SF and Oakland.
I think the ferry idea is interesting, because the Bay is totally underutilized. I used to live in the Mission and work in Oakland, and I'd just bike to the ferry terminal. Aside from being a relaxing way to spend your morning commute, you have an alternate to BART or driving. Why shouldn't Peninsula and South Bay communities have the same access to ferries?

I am all for this system as well. I don't think you and the grandparent are in disagreement, either. It looks like what they're saying is "give me varying levels of automation, including but not limited to full automation --- as long as I can have as much control as I want at the time." similar to a car with an option to disable traction control.
It's not capped at 100 minutes though, it just includes that many. They could keep talking more than 7 hours past that before the overage costs as much as the family plan with half the data.
yep, looking at the prototypes like e-Volo, one can try to imagine the Bay Area skies in 5 years.

Attack of the Steam Machines
Super weird, I didn't get any sound in the slideshow at all, except when playing the Veronica Mars trailer and Werner Herzog video, which required user action to play. I went through the entire thing, not sure what I'm missing. What browser/OS are you using?
Indeed. Many of the high-performance libraries like bytestring, aeson, etc. are written like this.

Haskell's performance is very good for nearly everything I write--and I don't write anything nearly that low level--but I can't deny that this is one of the uglier sides of the language.

On the other hand: In most other languages you'd just be dropping down to the C ABI (that's easy to do in Haskell, too, for that matter.) It is kind of impressive that you can write code that is as fast as C without writing C, even if it is ugly.

I think they are correct in stating that the Apple 2 was the breakthrough application of the 6502. The C64 was a tsunami, but it came after the breakthrough.

That's also why they list the Mac for the 68000, not the Atari 400 or the Amiga, the Archimedes for ARM, even though it got way more popular later, and the Altair for the 8080 even though that probably sold less than even today's greatest flop.

I do find it weird that all the most influential microprocessors happened to have their breakthrough in a PC. Surely, there were influential embedded CPUs? For example, where's the 8051?
Nice to see a Ludum Dare entry on the list!

The fine is not about people agreeing or not to use Google, it's about Google not informing it's users in the frame of this law. Compare it to a retail product: your company can be fined for not listing the right information in the package, weither your customer buys your product or not has nothing to do with the case.
Too far away to become a customer. Will look into donating money.
Sharding is because of browsers only opening a few connections to each domain (6 for example). Even with keep-alive the resource on each connection must be finished before sending the next request, so there is a round trip for each resource -- exactly the problem pipelining solves by sending the other requests immediately. This is not "head of line blocking".

On your first link, note the "in chrome". Pipelining works great in Firefox, Opera, Android Browser, but Google has only ever tested with Chrome. In fact, probably the reason they didn't test pipelining in mobile Chrome was that it did not even support pipelining at the time. Google never went back once Chrome (kind of) supported pipelining.

Microsoft actually tested pipelining and found with it that HTTP was basically equivalent to SPDY in performance. Read the paper. And with an unoptimized pipelining implementation.

The page you link to provides a lot of hand waiving like about incompatibilities, but this is actually completely beside the point of whether the complication in SPDY actually improves anything. If you come up with a new protocol just to overcome bad proxies you can just as well have HTTP/1.2 that is exactly the same as HTTP/1.1 except pipelining works; incompatible proxies will only support HTTP/1.1 and the browser can disable pipelining (or some similar solution).

EDIT: apparently the main SPDY guy is older than I thought. The point stands however that having one or two people design a protocol to be used by the whole internet is a bad idea.
GHC's -fllvm flag already makes it use LLVM, although the native code generator remains the default.

This backend (usually coupled with -O2) tends to slow down compile times tremendously, but can make some math-heavy programs much faster.

The protests over gentrification that turned into brick-throwing were in Oakland. I can't imagine they'd prefer more people living there because of a short commute.
