Its interesting that you use Go (CSP) and Node.js (callback) and like them both. Generally CSP people belive that the Node.js approach leads straight to hell.

Rich Hickey is really good about why Callbacks are terrible (and that's why he implemented CSP in clojure):

Do humans strive to improve the existence of fish? Do we optimize the entirety of the oceans for our own enrichment, or for the enjoyment of fish? Maybe someday, but not today.

Fish cannot fathom the meaning of a motor vehicle and we would similarly be unable to immediately understand the pursuits of an AI, so why should an AI attempt to involve humans in their pursuits?

Depending on faith will probably lead to bad decisions, a rational appraisal of available evidence and some critical thinking will probably be more useful. And let me present some evidence that may destroy any remnant of that faith you have:

That's our async/timers patch, we pretty much gave up for now because debugging vim was a nightmare. Right now something is stomping over regexp objects in memory. We have no idea where. We've found unsafe pointer use, etc. Vim code is pretty much all globals, 25k lines and 400+ ifdefs for at least one file, some crazy file encoding, pre C89 C that still compiles on an amiga, mixed tabs and spaces. The vim code base is pretty much the worst code I've ever seen and Bram doesn't seem to really grok our patch. He's also been demanding with his requests that we feel are over the top. That's fine, that's his choice. We're focusing on other plugins right now, we put in many months of work into vim. It kinda works as long as you don't use leader keys.
I hope you get to see this, as I've trawled your web site and not found any way to get in touch. Based on what you've said here you're exactly the sort of person I'd like to have read through some stuff I'm writing. You only need to read as much as you're interested in, so I would hope we'd both get something out of it.

My email is in my profile if you'd like to get in touch. Obviously no obligation, so even a ping to say "no thanks" would be welcome.

Thanks.
"> Google does this stuff for completely altruistic reasons.

Here is my original response to that claim:

> But of course. Just like they help the NSA rape people's privacy for purely altruistic reasons? Don't Be Evil and all, right?

It's simply not accurate to claim I was attacking Daniel or his work at Google."

This stuff = the project being referred to.
I"m not sure how you can see it any other way, and as you can see, this is how other people saw it as well.

"Even if I had actually attacked the project, that would still be separate from attacking Daniel - he's just doing whatever he's told to do, and most likely without any evil intentions, as I already acknowledged."

It's interesting you think that i just do whatever i'm told to do, or that it is in any way like that (IE that there is/was top down direction in this case).

But this is silly at this point, I think i've already adequately explained how this all functions. You are welcome to believe as you like.

I know very little about compilers, low-level optimization, or any of these topics beyond a rudimentary understanding of basic computer systems. It speaks volumes that Mozilla is able to explain some of these concepts in ways that I sort-of grasp, even if the specifics mostly go over my head.

Excellent, excellent article. I look forward to more improvements to asm.js and the future of Javascript. Maybe one day I will actually learn this shit.
I'm actually expecting Nvidia and Apple to catch-up to Intel on CPU performance before AMD does, and I think it will happen within a year or two, after they switch to 16nm FinFET. This can happen among other reasons because Intel has stopped focusing on increasing performance too much since Sandy Bridge. They mainly focus on power consumption and increasing GPU performance these days, which obviously leads to a compromise on CPU performance.
Many people work in the US for far less than $50k/yr and have enough left over for remittances.
AMD needs to die shrink their R9 chip to 20nm or less and put four of them on a single pci-e board.

Man, tough read, having been away from academia! I tried to write up what would be, according to the paper, pretty much the most effective Kickstarter pitch ever:

"We are domain experts on Christina Aguilera, and we've teamed up with one of the top production teams to shoot a full documentary WITH her participation!!! We're so excited!!!

Everyone who has pledged will get our incredible supporter rewards package. In addition, when you sign up at level 2, we'll mention your name in the credits and you'll receive two VIP tickets to our premiere. That's right--you'll be able to hang out with tons of top industry experts and performers! We have spared no expense and our friends in the industry are excited to see the result. This option won't last long (expires on February 1) so grab the chance to lock in these extra goodies while you have the opportunity. All that plus the good old-fashioned karma you'll receive by being a supporter.

We've also learned that a wave of people from website X just pledged. This is so incredibly humbling and awesome! Your pledges will go a long way toward enhancing the creative potential of people everywhere. Thanks also for your support and encouragement on Twitter, Facebook, and every other social network where we have a presence.

I'm off to feed my cat and tell him the good news. Thanks again everybody!"
Yes, and there is a good reason why Scalaland uses types. Consider a Spray-like API using only maps:

val cookies = Map("sessionid" -> "1234567")
val headers = Map("Content-Type" -> "application/javascript")

setCookies(headers) {
setHeaders(headers) {
complete { obj }
}
}

With Scala's "make everything a different type" approach, that's a compile error - setCookies will expect a List[Cookie], not a List[HttpHeader].

Those of us living in Scalaland are not as smart as the Clojure guys. We make mistakes sometimes and find it handy when the compiler yells at us.
Very nice improvements. A lot of it is visual though and seems to rely on the use of board backgrounds. I'm a gold member and use them but are they being made available at all to free members?
My 2008 Toyota Highlander has had like 3-4 recalls that I had to go into the dealer for. The last of which was software. And, I'm not counting the one where I pulled in for a service and the dude said "whoa, your tires are falling apart" and I got 5 brand new tires. I had 15k miles on the originals.

Wow, the MSM really loves kicking on Tesla.

It doesn't matter who says it or why. Germany, for better or worse, has little or no sovereignty.

I don't know of any historical countries with 50,000 foreign soldiers in them that were not vassals, let alone sovereigns.

It's definitely officially a recall, given that Tesla reported it to the Recall Management Divison of the DOT and provided them with the "Recall Service Bulletin." The fact that Tesla never calls it a recall in their PR is telling.

Country of origin is considered the same as ethnicity for discrimination terms and national origin is considered a protected class under US law.

> The only benefit I can see from standardizing something is that browser makers who want to claim to be compliant actually have to support it, so you won't end up in the flash/silverlight situation where some platforms don't support it.

Please read the spec. Your assumption is wrong! The EME just defines an API for JavaScript to access an unspecified CDM (the DRM module) in the browser. It does not specify how the DRM should work (it would be by definition impossible). It does not specify how a browser should acquire or handle the CDM.

Therefore EME will not only ruin the open Web. But it will be less portable than Flash. At least Flash somehow works on Linux.
Node only runs on one core, you can start it more then once. This only works if the request well don't have to coordinate over the hole address space. You need to care all the shared state in a database, witch you don't really want to do.

Go, is pretty good for that and it helps to think about it. You can start on thread of control per request, like with Scala where you might start one actor per request but the difference is that you have first class channels to communicate. Witch is pretty powerful.

I'll just comment on an experience that someone had while interviewing at oracle.

A friend, recently graduated from my school, was flown to their headquarters for a final round of interviews. She asked "What does your company look for in a candidate?"

She got the one word response, "Testosterone."

She did not get the job.

Coincidentally my friend is Indian.

Hollywood is delusional, though. They are missing out on a huge potential revenue stream by having DRM-free distribution platforms. Why was Megaupload so popular if people really liked DRM?
I am not for political correctness but let me try to counter your perspective

Since the Indian employee has a good track record and the company is willing to transfer him to US, lets assume that he has around 8-10 years of experience.

This would qualify the person for about INR 2 to 2.5 M annual pay excluding commissions. This is about USD 35 - 40K

For such a pay, the quality of living of the Indian person would be

(might vary slightly based on the city in India)

1. Owns at least one 3BHK house / apartment right in the middle of the city (~ 10-15 minute commute to office) with groceries/malls within walking distance or max 10 mins drive

2. Drives own car (atleast Honda City, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Verna), with a good chance of a second car

3. Owns some of the following: iPhone, iPad, Samsung G S4/Note, smart tv, home theatre system, a modern kitchen, full internet connectivity, power backup

4. Good chance of at least one child and that child studying in a leading private school

5. Has a paid help for daily chores (washing, cleaning etc.)

6. All labour for any domestic purpose electric, plumbing, car mechanic etc. are all down right affordable without even a pinch

50K definitely is higher than the 35-40K USD he is receiving and it is upto the person to accept it. However, the person would definitely be compromising as I doubt if the 50K USD will assure the above list when the person chooses to live in the US
They updated the binary driver today [1], but it looks like open-source support is not working properly [2]:

"However, when the X.Org Server started, the screen remained black and nothing appeared ever on the display nor was anything outputted to the X.Org Server log after reporting it was using RadeonSI and initializing GLAMOR. This was with the Mesa 10.0.1 driver packages in Ubuntu 14.04. Lastly, I tried adding in Mesa from Git master (Mesa 10.1-devel) but here when launching the X.Org Server and going with GLAMOR for 2D acceleration, there was a segmentation fault."

I would like to ask the original reporter on what piece of code he based his conclusion that there was a key logger in there.

Edit: Never mind, I see this apparently comes from original poster on google groups, so I asked him exactly how he came to this conclusion.

How often have people burned all of their code in a toasty little digital fire only so they could start over without all the cruft? How often do people move because they desperately need a change of scenery and feel constrained by the physical or social realities of their current location? How often do children strike out from their parents and live as far away from them as possible to limit their influence?

Sure, some people try to fix where they're at. Some people take care of their parents in old age. Some people take a project and just build from what's there. But there's a heck of a lot who don't. And these aren't even people. They are "things" that arose from a completely different universe and (if they're this advanced) may look at us like a beloved poodle. If you really need scenarios, sci-fi is full of plausible versions where AI's say "interacting with you is pointless." (In fact, "Hyperion" nicely covers all these options)
This is actually a good example of something I don't like in Scala. They don't make this sort of differentiation easy enough. Adding a Haskell style newtype would be really, really useful.
Ask HN: Can I Kickstart "Laser Skyscraper Tetris/Donkey Kong"?
Hi HN,

I live in Midtown, Atlanta, and I just got laid off last week. I was the sole developer of a medical messaging service, and the owners just raised half a million dollars (or a figure pretty close to that). Over the New Year they moved the development to a large firm in Seattle. The specifics don't really matter, and I've got nothing against them. The worst of this is a case of bad timing; I was initially told I could finish up with my cs/biochem degree, but it looks like that's out of the question for now.

In my spare time prior to being laid off, I've been (slowly) working on a few projects. One of them is a science show that is in pre-production, and the other involves crafting laser video games that are projected onto very tall buildings. I'm wondering if there might be a possibility to Kickstart the laser project and work on it full-time. Most of the money would go for equipment purchases required to scale up the display and appearance (brightness, draw complexity, speed, beam collimation/"sharpness", etc.), and I'd only pay myself a small stipend necessary to live off of.

There's an index of videos about the laser here:

In case this website gives you trouble (I wrote it in a hurry), here are links to a few of the videos, and you can find the rest via my Youtube channel:

Yes, since there is an implicit agreement beforehand that the PSD should be converted to HTML/CSS.

For example, if I missed a border on an element or margin spacing between text areas this would be something I would be expected to fix. The designer would most likely point this out. Many designers I've worked with get very upset if you change anything in this regard without some sort of discussion.

The point you bring up about text handling is true as well, which is another reason that PS is not a great way to design for the web. AI might be a little better, but not by much.

This reaffirms for me again that we really need AMD to keep Intel from falling asleep at the wheel. I was certainly intrigued by what I saw in the Xbox One and PS4 announcements and being able to try some of that tech out will be pretty awesome.

It is fascinating for me how FPUs were "always" co-processors but GPUs only recently managed to get to that point. Having GPUs on the same side of the MMU/Cache as processors is pretty awesome. I wonder if that continues though what it means for the off chip GPU market going forward.
Design as an profession is older than the web - it's older than programming. The industry as a whole is intimidated by modern technology, and appeals to non-technical people.

As a result, many of the people coming out of professional design schools, trained in the esthetics of flat, non-interactive design see themselves as 'above' all that 'computer stuff'. This, combined with intimidation, and a massive demand for good design, keeps them from expanding their skillset.
I've never seen any solid research linking slouching to back problems later in life.

I will agree with you that it's definitely important for products to be priced appropriately for the region they are sold in. And, I understand that access to information can be a huge roadblock, which is why it's important for people to free up information as best as possible. Still, when you consider things like public libraries, free access to internet, etc., you have to question whether or not you have really tried to do it without pirating someone else.
