The Miquon Math materials

have a playful spirit of exploration and go well with the Cuisennaire rods already recommended by DanBC, a recommendation I heartily agree with. My children all began their initial math instruction with the Miquon Math materials, and my oldest son, grown up and working as a hacker, definitely benefited from playing around with mathematics a lot as he grew up.

It really looks to me like you flip the bozo bit where you shouldn't. It is really hard to find a person whose interests and competence match that which you are interested in. But it is easy to find someone you can learn useful stuff from whose interests don't so align.

Don't believe me? Consider Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance for a second. The main character of that book is mechanically inclined. But are you? Could you, for instance, explain how a simple mechanical device like a differential works? Probably not. Therefore in some sense you fail to be the kind of person that Prisig was describing. Not because you lack interest, but because your interest is in a different area.

(BTW if you're curious, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYAw79386WI has an excellent explanation of how a differential works.)

When you start doing this, you may find something interesting. You'll notice that people like tptacek, whose actual skills should properly impress you, have great respect for people like patio11. Why? Because tptacek recognizes what patio11 is better at than he is, and can respect patio11 for that, at the same time as patio11 is very clear on what he is and isn't good at.

So what is patio11 good at? It is very simple. He's good at figuring out how tech people can market themselves. This may not be a skill you care about. Not one you wish to learn. But one that tptacek sees value in.

And that is how life goes. We each specialize. Some things we choose to learn. Other things we need to know who is good so we can know who to go to to do it. And the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts.

Just make the transition from looking down on people who choose to be good at things you don't, to accepting and respecting them for what they are. You may be surprised at how much of your life smooths out.

Or you can choose to sit in your little corner, on top of your mountain of specialized knowledge, sneering at the world to make up for the fact that others don't respect you in the way you think you deserve to be respected. And then wonder why people don't enjoy being around you.
Agroforestry in India: new national policy sets the bar high
I think it really depends on your goals. You can look at JEE for enterprise standards , JSF, JAX-RS, EJB, JPA or look to the spring stack which may be a easier to work with such as spring mvc, spring and some mix of spring jdbc or spring data. I think in general you can look at how a project like Play integrates these various frameworks and start from there.

It seems plausible that apathy would prevent people from agitating for faster internet speeds, when speeds are only slightly below the national average (http://www.speedtest.net/local/san-francisco-ca). It seems implausible to claim that such apathy will remain absolute and unchanging if/when other cities started getting major upgrades (http://www.speedtest.net/local/kansas-city-mo), and especially if the national average began pulling away. Plus, the CA regulatory environment is somewhat of an outlier in terms of its conduciveness to infrastructure progress, so it may not be the best litmus test.

The support experience is going to vary depending on what you need. I once called Google Wallet developer support to let them know that their sandbox was down. I pointed them toward some samples on their documentation that had broken as a result. They didn't seem able to grasp that it wasn't a problem on my end, and I'm not convinced they knew what a sandbox is. In the end, I reached out to a Google Wallet product manager via Google+ who confirmed that it was down and that they were working on it.

It seems a waste of talent to have developers picking up the phone when I call developer support, but it would be nice if that team could run stuff by developers when they need to. They also need better training on typical things that developers might call about. (Eg. "Sandbox seems to be down, can you confirm and provide an ETA on the fix?")

All said and done though, if you just want to post / do stuff online I doubt you really want a fake identity, its an incredibly easy thing to screw up and there isn't much use for it. Just stay anonymous. When you think of them they sound the same, but put into practice they are very different beasts.

You need to ask, do I need an identity at all? Identity is something which can be known, validated or invalidated, most of the time, that is not what you want.

"The building next door to me has FiOS, but my landlord has no incentive to let them wire my building too."

Is your building rent controlled?

If not, I suspect your landlord is short sighted. I am curious to see whether property values will start to diverge based on quality of internet access. With more people wanting to work from home, I think availability, speed, cost, and quality of Internet access will have an impact on property values.

(Of course, you're in Manhattan, which means landlords can do almost anything and still charge insane rents, so this may not apply to you. Sorry.)

Writing a native application requires you to port that application to every conceivable app-store and platform in order to get it to run most places, this includes, but is not limited to: Writing it once in C++, once in ObjectiveC, once In java, package it for x86-64 windows classic, package it for x86-64 windows metro, once for x86 windows classic, x86 windows metro, Wart, Android, iOS, RPM, DEB, etc.

A native app also requires you to come up with a solution to windowing (on windowing platforms, such as WGL, GLX etc.), sound (alsa, openal, directsound etc.), input (xinput (X), xinput or directinput (windows), cocoa (osx) etc.), etc. etc.

It also requires you to come up with a solution on how to build guis, which a lot of games do these days by simply embedding webkit...

It also requires you to come up with a solution to scripting, which is already built into browsers, but nevertheless, many embedd anglescript, lua, etc.

Etc. etc. etc.

Not an afterthought, but I'm more interested in providing features for my customers. The site is fast enough, and the time to develop new features is more important than making the thing scale for zillions of users when I only have 100's hitting the web site.

I don't ignore performance, but if you're charging enough, it's certainly not the primary consideration.

I think it manages concepts with a big scope. In the blog post I tryed to apply it in a more focused way, with an smaller scope. Sorry, maybe I have done it wrong. But what do you think I am misunderstanding on it?
I think the problem is that the general public think of "proof" as the kind of thing that mathematicians sit and work out with a pencil on paper. To use the word "proof" to refer to a certificate is technically correct and appropriate in context, but deeply misleading when used outside of that context. It certainly gives the wrong impression.

I also suspect we're mostly in complete agreement.
Oh ok, let's keep a gaping security vulnerability open in the one runtime that everyone demands the ability to shove heaps of untrusted code into, just so that people can see the occasional really cool demo that gets posted on HN every few months run at 10 FPS on their phone.

There are holes in every graphics driver and OpenGL implementation out there (it's practically unavoidable, as it's a fairly low-level API). To expose that layer of an operating system to any random webpage a user clicks on is utter lunacy.

"So don't visit those sites." That's like saying your operating system's security policy is "just don't go to bad sites and you won't get viruses!"

Here's a nice press release (http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news182a.html) regarding the impact of a small NEO (2-3 meters in size) last month with Earth.

Being small, it was discovered only 21 hours before impact, and its sonic signature is believed to have been observed in the mid-Atlantic around Bermuda.

Larger asteroids with orbits that will come near Earth's are being discovered routinely by sky surveys (e.g., Catalina, http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/css/css_mission.html) as far away as Jupiter.

>That is again a definition which would include ssh keys, which is to say a useless definition.

For those of us who work in security, its taken for granted that when we are talking about security through obscurity, we aren't talking about passwords and cryptographic keys. I should have been more clear.

>"Security through obscurity is generally a pejorative term referring to a principle in security engineering, which attempts to use secrecy of design or implementation to provide security."

That's the exact same thing that I said worded in a different way.

>I'm not sure that's an example at all, since hidden SSIDs can be readily sniffed from a publicly documented protocol.

And that's the entire point. Security through obscurity alone is not a good thing. Starting from the second sentence, and continuing through to the second and third paragraphs, the article elaborates on this.

>A system relying on security through obscurity may have theoretical or actual security vulnerabilities, but its owners or designers believe that if the flaws are not known, then attackers will be unlikely to find them.

>Security through obscurity has never achieved engineering acceptance as an approach to securing a system, as it contradicts the principle of simplicity. The United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) specifically recommends against security through obscurity in more than one document. Quoting from one, "System security should not depend on the secrecy of the implementation or its components."[1]

When Google came to Provo, UT, it wasn't because of the friendly government. It was simply that it already had plenty of fiber and a bankrupt ISP that Google could buy out. There's plenty of fiber that's been buried in the ground since the 80's. Some is in use, some is not. Some has more potential. Here in Utah, we have another fiber company called Utopia... I wouldn't be surprised if Google isn't just going around buying these companies and using the existing fiber. I'm probably way off base.

First step of unit testing is picking the correct language. Static analysis will eliminate the need for whole class of errors. Then apply code contracts. Consider extending your static analysis package of choice to add rules specific to your application. As the last step write unit tests to cover your core business logic - something the computer can't figure out for you. Realizing that unit tests are basically poor man's static analysis is the first step to becoming better at writing them.

In New York City, buildings aren't rent-controlled (or rent-stabilized); individual apartments are. I highly doubt that any units in my building are rent-controlled (that's very rare in NYC these days). There may be one or two that's rent-stabilized, but given the neighborhood and the tenancy of the building, I doubt it.

> I think availability, speed, cost, and quality of Internet access will have an impact on property values.

In New York, that's vastly dwarfed by the many other factors that affect property values. As much as you and I think Internet access is important, most NYC tenants care more about location, bedbug history, sunlight, etc.
