Yeah, when I dug into instruments, the biggest impediment is that if you have a bunch of OpenGL surfaces you establish needless sync points each time you present a buffer when you have to wait for the OpenGL command list to clear out. When you have one giant surface to present you only have to do this once and save a lot of synchronization.

This is probably the most optimistic thing in security in the past year. Thank you!

It's still tricky to get security due to the platforms on which software runs, but now users can make reasonable choices about which platforms to trust, and by not tying your messaging application to hardware with a black-box baseband, users actually have a decent chance.

Hopefully there will be more progress on baseband-less mobile devices and reasonable networks for those users.
The most common justification I hear about the open floor plan is that it "encourages collaboration".

In my experience, the sort of people who talk about open floor plans for "collaboration" tend to be incompetent managers. Instead of managing, leading, and making decisions, they believe that by manipulating some imaginary rate of collaboration, workers will "collaborate" their way to generating value and wealth. It's a managerial form of cargo cult behavior.

Personally, my best years have been in a shared office with someone whose presence I genuinely enjoyed. It was less about collaboration and more about keeping the mood up throughout the inevitable daily slog through painful work that, truthfully, nobody wants to do.
Intro to Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB for Beginners [1080p]
You can perform semantic analysis of a codebase, which is extremely useful for Visual Studio extensions. Beyond simple refactoring, it should be possible to make tooling a lot more intelligent.
I also noticed this, and would love to see such a chart.
Ok.. I misread that, and assumed the 2.1.1 came with further perf improvements.
Intercept legislation that applies to makers of non-interconnected (i.e., doesn't touch the PSTN) chat functions is extremely unlikely. I'm guessing whisper falls into that category.

I use Silent Circle myself, but I assume on Whisper you can't just type in a normal mobile number and have the chat message go to the right person. If you can, then those chats at least are subject to intercept, and maybe the other chats (whisper-whisper chats) are too. I don't remember how all those rules shake out/how courts have decided.
I would be willing to pay for a gigabit connection if the prices were lower. In Japan and South Korea for instance, a consumer can get a gigabit connection for the equivalent of about 40USD. I currently pay more for a connection 1/20th the speed. If their telcos can do it, ours can too. However ours want us to pay more (much, much more) for gigabit, which is why there is the argument that Americans don't want to pay for gigabit. Yeah, charge a reasonable price and you'll have more demand for gigabit speeds.
Yes. IPv6 all over. Actually, we're looking at deprecating IPv6 at the transport layer entirely, and moving to IPv4 in IPv6 over GRE tunnels, but that's largely reliant on having RFC5549 in a few specific places (the edge terms).
Are Mobile Kill Switches a Good Idea?
Thanks. Now I tried to follow the links and I still don't understand how they managed to achieve that "The new TextSecure protocol doesn't require a round trip key exchange process."

I'd still like to know how actually their solution protects from MITM.
I don't have time right now to read all that, but since I was referring generally to network effects, and not specifically Metcalf's Law, the paper probably validates my comment above.
I haven't directly worked on Roslyn (although I work in another area in Cloud and Enterprise) but my understanding is that by providing its client an abstract representation on semantic C# source, Roslyn allows applications like this to be developed.

If a traditional compiler has an API of "source files and configuration flags in, object files out", the Roslyn API is completely different. Roslyn is about designing and providing a semantic API over C# language analysis and compiler services.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230702

Some of the features of the reference source website enabled by Roslyn's semantic understanding of symbols (assemblies, namespaces, types, members) are color-coding, search, browse, jump-to-definition, and deep-linking.

For example, I can deep-link to part of WPF like so:

http://referencesource-beta.microsoft.com/#PresentationFrame...

I can see which assemblies depend on it, which assemblies it depends on, and browse the source of the assembly in a tree view either by source file or by namespace -> type -> member name.
This is an interesting rant on open offices. The 'inexplicable' part is rationalized as a cost savings thing.

Open offices are different. They have been very common in Europe for years. I remember being astonished visiting offices in Switzerland back in the 90's with folks sitting at desks just out in the open. And while I found it abhorrent (I had an office back at HQ, with a window no less), these people did seem to get things done.

It is possible Tech companies in the US are "catching up" to the rest of the world with regard to this stuff. I thought quad cubes at Google were a bit much, (and being that close to three other people can be uncomfortable) but no one was arguing that Google was unproductive or 'bad.'

Headphones are great for shutting out the noise if you want that.
> What would the U.S. do if it was found that Obama's lines were being listened to?

Use that knowledge to peddle bad information to diametrically opposed nation states to further their own interest? Use that information to further secure their systems they previously thought were secure? That's what everyone else would do.

Its not like the US aren't spied on. If anything, there is probably more intense interest in the US operations from various nation states than anywhere else on earth. I was watching a documentary on UK/US spying (both human and communication intelligence, I believe it was called Modern Spies and from the BBC) and it was suggested from commentators from the CIA as well as Her Majesty's Secret Service that the Chinese have stolen the largest mass of nuclear secrets and have even managed to copy some top secret technology in their fighter jets etc. The commentators also seemed to suggest that nobody is clear how it was done yet. Maybe that was scare tactics to make the Chinese seem scary, but on the assumption that it wasn't, why wouldn't that be considered an act of war? I think that is because the nations who are the most competent at spying are also the same nations you can't beat in a 2 week war or nations that can impact heavily in an economic war and so the word isn't chucked around as quickly.

I suppose one man's act of war is another man's act of diplomacy that can avoid war.
Yeah, but you have to trust that someone (who is really independent and not in on the backdoor) is actually doing that. Also, the fact that all binaries distributed through mobile stores have to be signed with a private key makes this a more difficult proposition with mobile software than it is with desktop software. (Unlike desktop EXEs you can't just hash the resulting binaries).

I supposed you could pull apart the container format (apk or ipa) and compare the .class files (Assuming Java, I haven't looked at this software so I don't know if it is standard Android or a lot of NDK stuff) or ObjC object files one by one to look for discrepancies versus a local build using the same tools... hopefully someone volunteers to do that and keeps doing it again on each new release.
I teach high school math and science, and I've always been a hobbyist programmer. I've been in both fields long enough now to see how some of the basic principles of open source can significantly improve the way education is done.

I still teach full time, but I would like to transition to half time teaching and half time developing in the next 3-5 years.
I agree (with you) 100%. I got started by reading the Java docs six years ago, and the Internet is all the instruction I've ever needed. In fact, I find that people that have a mentor when learning to program don't learn as much as when they have no mentor.

Would kill for the desktop version of this. This team is the gold standard of cryptographically secured messaging; what Colin Percival's Tarsnap is for backup, Whisper is for communications.

Congrats on the new release.
Here's very cool example of what compiler as service can do: let's say you want extend SQL so that you can write C# expressions in SELECT like this:

SELECT MyClass1.Method1(ColumnA, Math.Round(ColumnB))
FROM Table1

Another example is you can extend your scripting language so that user can use full power of Linq.

So in otherwords, you can extend any of your little languages so that you can mix C# in it. Considering C# supports tons of functional features, Linq, anonymous types, dynamic types etc this can really beef up host language.

You forgot Ada, 1975. Mainly used by the military and contractors. Still in use today, by the way.
indeed - but I think its even worse than that, because even "faster" is rather contextual.

proxies can inject dog leg routes, single points of failure, computational and i/o bottlenecks and they make lovely centralized dos and data theft targets. They also often downgrade you out of performance enhancements that the client and server would have negotiated if they had been speaking directly (e.g. some actually block compression negotiation so they can observe the content of more flows with less cpu).

Sometimes they do make things faster though - its just not clear to me why we want to continue to centralize that approach rather than distributing it across the network given all the baggage proxying carries.

So does anyone have the answer? Low cubes? High cubes? Share cubes? Shared offices? Individual offices? Why so little experimentation and innovation in the tech world on what is perhaps the most important aspect of the company?

Does Fog Creek still give developers individual offices? Microsoft? Joel Spolsky wrote about an office design where the walls were slanted and interior windows were present so each office had windows on 3 sides (but you couldn't really see each other). http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BionicOffice.html

I'm also a fan of flexible furniture that can be moved around easily but have never really seen it used effectively. And I'd like to see better incorporation of stand-up positioning (I'm convinced sales people are more effective when standing; feels more powerful).

Surely the open plan is not the answer but who's searching these days? Do any YC (or equivalent) startups have individual offices?
I thought that Roslyn expressly did not support extending the language.
I know that I have grabbed the apk's from Google Play before and then decompiled them to compare with the original sources. What I did was compile my own version, then decompile it again and compare those source with the decompiled original sources.

There were some differences where the compiler/decompiler made a different decision, and that had to be checked out manually but in the end it was a pretty nice experience.

To build on this:

1. It's nice to have the same view of the code that your compiler has. This matters less for C# than it would for C++, but it's nice to know you handle the edge cases in a consistent fashion.

2. Invalid code. Since Rosalyn is designed for being used in VS while you're in the middle of typing, it has advanced functionality for handling incomplete or erroneous code. If building your own parser for valid code is hard, building a parser that also gracefully handles half-finished lines is an order of magnitude harder. And having it handle half-lines in a fashion consistent with how VS handles it is another order of magnitude.
So is this PrivatOS open source, or irrelevant?
Part answer to your question, part shameless plug.

Node cloning can be done fairly quickly if the bulk of the node data is shared. The `_tree` immutable tree library (https://github.com/drfloob/_tree#quality-metrics) has a 1,024 child-node benchmark. On my slow laptop, it can build 1024 node trees at ~10/second, and the performance appears logarithmic on node count (http://jsfiddle.net/9x7aJ/2734/). I found it fast enough for my client-side use cases, but Clojurescript's optimized branching scheme could probably be implemented to boost performance. And anyway, if 10ops/second isn't fast enough, `_tree.Tree.batch()` lets you temporarily bypass immutability if needed, making modifications much quicker.
Is OS X Patched Yet (gotofailpatched) on Twitter
Based on a quick look at the documentation, i think the API Waterline exposes to clients is not an imitation of the MongoDB API, which would allow PostgreSQL to be used as a drop-in replacement for MongoDB. Rather, it's its own thing.

Waterline does support both MongoDB and PostgreSQL, though, so you could use it as part of a migration strategy: start with MongoDB, install Waterline backed by MongoDB, migrate your app to use Waterline rather than using MongoDB directly, replace MongoDB with PostgreSQL.
I hesitate to say this, but I'm a big fan of cubicles... But not the cubicles you're probably thinking of...

I'm a fan of 4-8 person teams attacking problems together and I've found flexible cubicle arrangements to be very effective. At one company, we could change around our cubes (albeit not terribly frequently) and it was great to be able to create a multi-person office with a conference table for your team (e.g. PM, designer, developers). We had tight collaboration and our own private space without being distracted by the larger company. Of course, this style of organization also affect project management, etc, but it was quite effective.

Cablevision: 0% -> 0%
1975 (ok, release was 1977). Was in active development/production work in 1977. The DOD standardized on Ada in 1986 (I think). I was in the Army then writing Ada (and using Wang - remember Wang?).

Ada is still in use today. Besides the military, there are a lot of "mission critical" systems written in Ada.

I hope so, that way there will be less devs on these Apple/Google stores, script kiddies can go back toying with HTML5 on 25$ hansets for third world countries while serious developpers get more clients from Europe/Northen America with fast native apps on high end devices, A win-win !

> the pyramids of Giza are a monument of human achievement that hasn't yet been surpassed.

> [...] the last few centuries have completely and utterly surpassed that

In terms of what they were built for, that is travel through time mostly unharmed for several thousands of years, a literal vessel of eternity, this claim is undebatably false. Few things we have built in the last two centuries will survive more than a decade if left unattended, and even fewer more than a century. It takes but a trip to Normandy to see german bunkers getting swallowed by nature. The smarter we get, the less durable we build things: we split atoms, we flick electrons and we land proxy explorers on nearby celestial bodies but our grandeur is a delusion and nothing will remain should our kin be obliterated. The testament of mankind that are such incredible buildings can only be surpassed by moving our butt out of this rock and sustain a decent living on the next one, ensuring our species survival. Any technological achievement is but a bullet point towards that goal.

Verizon CEO: We expect a deal with Netflix
As kyrra suggested elsewhere; you don't need the fat pipe for one stream, you need it for multiple streams. My household doesn't have cable TV so it's nice to be able to have the kids watching their stuff on Netflix in the other room while the wife and I are watching The Walking Dead in the living room. Without our FIOS that might not work out quite as nicely.

> I'm sorry but I don't understand the distinction.

While its contained, the density is not that low; if it loses containment, the density will become low as it expands. At least, that's my understanding of the distinction here.

But what is the alternative to open source for securing communications?
