Java and Python are on the same level in relation to the hardware. They both get compiled to bytecode instructions that get executed by a virtual machine (basically a software program that is pretending to be a processor). The source code for that virtual machine is written in C or C++. In order to execute Java code or Python code, the machine must have the VM installed. But it doesn't matter what type of processor you are running the code on, just as long as it has the VM installed.

A C/C++ compiler takes your source code and then compiles & assembles it to binary machine instructions that are executed directly by the processor. It is not necessary to have a C/C++ compiler installed on a machine in order to execute that binary. But the code must have been compiled to the machine language that type of chip understands. That's why you can't take a program that was compiled for an Intel chip and then go run it on an ARM chip. The different chip won't understand the instructions. So you have to compile the C source separately for each type of target chip.

That's why C is considered more low-level than Java and Python. The output of the compiler is executed directly by your processor hardware, instead of by a VM.
I would think it to be generally known, but apparently, it isn't, but many scientists think men are higher risk takers than women. If you google "men higher risk takers evolution", you will find, for example:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/evolution/9005552/Men-twi... "They said the gap between men and women when it came to risk-taking was 'unexpected in its magnitude.'"

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~kruger/risk.html: "More frequent risk taking among young men than women has been explained as a sexually selected trait, perhaps advertising male quality."

http://www.epjournal.net/wp-content/uploads/ep062942.pdf: "Men are also more likely than females to cross busy roads when it is risky to do so."

It's not irrelevant. It's a design decision that punishes curiosity with unwanted and nonundoable actions. What else is the site going to do on my behalf because of something as simple as parking my mouse on the wrong part of the screen or in this case hovered over a nonintuitive button expecting some hover text to tell me what it is?
Because one little mistake -- one error in their configuration, one sysadmin cockup at some point in the future, one bug in the software stack they use to provide such a thing -- and someone could get frightening amounts of access to the Linode network.

I like this a lot better.
The Linode CLI is to manage the VPS node, not to manage your server directly. With Linode CLI you can resize, shutdown, boot up, hard reset, and mirror your VPS. It's basically all the controls you would have from your VPS control panel, but in a CLI.

Just a nit for accuracy, but the implication that "the Ember resolver will load code when you store it in App.Foo(Controller|View|Route|...)`" eagerly is not true. I believe the author use an HTML comment to comment out his usage and not a handlebars comment, so the code was still being run (just hidden behind html comments).

But regardless, Ember will not load everything in the App. namespace blindly- it will wait until that item is required, then try to load it.

This is your helpful Ember #protip for the day. :-p

Informative! thanks!

Though I never ment to suggest that the evolutionary challenge would be eliminated--it just changes the approach to the problem, rather than looking at specific pests and targeting them individually, (which is actually an endless fight--but may provide continued revenue for Monsanto) look at the systemic relationships and the patterns they create as they persist. If you eliminate one pest, you still have broad homogenous crop, which is a natural draw for all sorts of similar 'pest' problems.

In any case I see it as being symptomatic of our highly optimized food system--which has problems in all sorts of places (input/output and stderr), as I think we are optimizing for the wrong thing in the long term.

Slightly circular, and OT--sorry.

> I get the rather cynical impression that Monsanto may need to rethink the nature of the problem. Unless I'm mistaken this strategy is still going toe-to-toe with evolutionary biology and ends up causing individuals who are not succeptible to this target to flourish.

the "problem" is, Monsanto needs more profits. And they are doing a terrific job of solving the crap out of that problem, getting farmers hooked on ever more complicated and unproven techniques as each one fails, each one modifying nature further so that Monsanto's newest approaches are even more critical.

Monsanto has no ethical or environmental incentives beyond those which might damage their profit model. And so far, with secret treaties like TPP at their back, it looks like they can go super far before anything like that happens.

Oops.. I was using wp-svbtle all this time. Ah well, same thing to me :)
It's not about being perfect. It's about costs. If de-anonymizing you is prohibitively expensive, no one will do it without a very good reason. Problem is, it's becoming increasingly cheap, because most technologies we use these days are built with blatant disregard for privacy issues. Modern Web is designed to track you and it leaks your personal information left and right in the process of tracking. If we improve the technologies, the costs will shift.
I'm sure there are some people in Monsanto who mean well, however, I'll agree.

> The compass (AK8963) has a reset line, the other two have no reset line at all. Your best bet is to drop VCC, but what are the chances the hardware guy just tied them to the power bus and left it at that?

That is, if you also have even more circuitry to disable the bus pullups; otherwise they will continue to power the device via clamping diodes, potentially calling further confusion. The hardware guys don't implement I2C slave power control for a reason: it gets bloody expensive real fast - both in terms of BOM cost and PCB estate.

Having said that, the lack of a RESET line on many I2C slaves is just ridiculous. I have a sticker on my monitor that says "fix the hanging MMA8451Q bug"; it's been there for at least three months. The very thought of debugging I2C transactions makes me stop even trying.

> I have seen the statement repeated by others more familiar with Swedish and Danish politics that FRP is a racist party

To put it in context of American politics, FRP is no more "racist" than the Republican party - which also regularly runs on an anti-immigration platform.

There are certainly protectionist, and xenophobic, elements in both - but it's dismissive, and simplistic, to claim that either is "racist". The issues are more complex than that.

I'll add that the original "selling" point of Svbtle was its "drafts first" approach (that I really appreciate).

There's also a few references in the announcement post today mentioning writers' identity (free custom domain support, full name on everything) that could appeal to some people turned off by Medium's "nice article you just read now here's something else by someone completely different" approach.

Basically, what I see today is a side project growing up. Hard to see that as a bad thing.
I've worked on large javascript applications written in Ember, Angular, JavsacriptMVC (now can.js), and jQuery and the conclusion I've come to is that things have not settled down in the world of front-end development enough to justify a framework as opinionated as Ember. For example, Ember relies very much on routing being handled a certain way. In fact, much of the magic in Ember comes from the fact that it's making a lot of assumptions about how routes are handled, constructed, and organized. This is great if you can assume that an app's routes will be written in a very traditional way, aka one route per page. It breaks down however when you want to tie different routes to two or more components on the same page (i.e. two different tabbed sections). One concern per route makes perfect sense on the server when serving a traditional stateful web application but it often doesn't make sense for rich desktop-style applications (which is probably why Photoshop doesn't have urls).

Data persistence on the client is another area I feel hasn't been nailed down in general and thus can't support a lot of opinionated assumptions. Should data be persisted at all? Ember caches data from all requests to the server in a "store", but it's not clear how you keep that cache up-to-date. Perhaps you could use websockets to keep resources current but at the time I was using Ember there wasn't a clear, well supported way to do that. I think the jury is still out on whether we should be duplicating our schema on the front-end at all but Ember-Data has gone all-in on mimicking ActiveRecord. Again, the dust has not settled in a lot of areas of the front-end development world as far as I'm concerned so I don't feel comfortable with these decisions being made for me.

I tend to lean toward convention over configuration. On the server I'm a big Rails fan but I feel like it's solving problems that aren't moving targets. On the front end I prefer Angular because it solves the main headaches (two-way binding, testability, modularity) of front-end development without being too opinionated about the stuff we haven't reached consensus on.
There isn’t “really no reason” why it’s annoying; it’s exactly as you said: the site is falsely representing your upvote as a deliberate action. And your action changes a number, labeled “kudos”, seen by all future visitors to the page, so your action ends up implying endorsement of the page to future visitors. That’s why the kudos feature annoys me – it falsely represents the page to be popular, but rather than just completely making up a number of kudos like a normal liar, it ties the number of kudos to the actions of unwitting page visitors. That gives the author plausible deniability that it’s possible that that many people really did like the page, though in fact that is very unlikely.
Ezra Klein's 'Project X'
It's generally true on any meaningful scale (i.e. if your sample size is "my stalker," no, it's not true, but that isn't really relevant). There are always outliers, but in general, for a general "you" and any reasonable number of general "people," the people aren't thinking about you that much — and I mean, why should they be thinking about you all the time?

2)Within the past 6 months I had a wordpress install, which was up-to-date used in a DOS attack against someone else. PHP also does some surprising type changes that can be exploited. That plus people remembering the mysql_real_escape crap leaves people with a poor impression of PHP security.

3) It's definitely much better but still doesn't compare to the ruby or node communities. I think the biggest changes to the community will be a bigger focus on testing/TDD and facebook's HHVM

5)True. Wordpress and Joomla are extremely old applications. However Wordpress is still extremely popular, which is why I bring it up.

7) Would you mind adding what your experience has been? I'm genuinely interested.

Ruby really only has 2 main frameworks: Rails and Sinatra. Python and Node are more fractured, but there are generally a few main frameworks

I don't feel it as strongly as minimaxir apparently does, but the copy bugged me in the way a lot of products focused on the Apple core audience do. It's impressed with itself and encourages you to be impressed with yourself as well.

Personally, I prefer a more matter-of-fact approach. The less bullshit I get in a marketing pitch, the less I worry that they need to bullshit me to cover up for issues I haven't yet discovered. But then, I'm not in Svbtle's target market; I'm very unlikely to use a hosted platform to publish.

This is true... However as a ~20year IRC alumni, my experience with developer-channels on IRC are a bit ho-hum. The specific channels on freenode related to specific libraries or applications are fine. But just general programming chat has a tendency to just blow up in troutslaps and other cabbage...

Which makes me think. What is the general outcome of iterated prisoners dilemma depending on what level of information is available to involved agents about the actions of other particular agents? If it is known what agents did what in the last iteration the choices would probably become different. If you know that others will become aware of your actions you will be different etc. It stops being prisoners and become just game theory from there.

Hi,

I am one of the founders of KickoffLabs.

Liking on Facebook is just one of the ways to enter. However, after re-reading the content I can see how that is not very clear.

You can also enter with just an email and you are free to share the link in more traditional methods.

I get where you are coming from on liking. I rarely do this myself, but it is an important option for many of our customers and one of the goals of the contest was to help showcase our product.

Thanks for the feedback.

I just signed up, and immediately considered the quality of svbtle. My first post on other platforms is usually a very weak test post.

Considering it is svbtle, I decided to give a lot more thought to my post. If that's the effect it gives me, providing more effort and quality to my own thoughts, then it's worth it.
We don't actually force anything. We could, of course, check to see if you liked us on Facebook... but even that's a loose check since it's easy to unlike something anyway.

The goal is to help others improve their launches with the email course and for us to build a larger audience... through Facebook, Twitter, and Email.

It's hard to tell which of these changes are minor legal optimizations, and which are actually suggestive of a different relationship between Tumblr and its users.

In the top paragraph, for instance, "personal" is struck from the phrase: "takes the private nature of your personal information very seriously." Are they taking _more_ of my information seriously or are they subtly suggesting that my information is no longer "personal"?

It'd be nice to see a finer-grained diff.
