What's certainly funny is that our current enterprise stack looks a lot more like what you lay out they "should" look like, and we're constantly looking for making it leaner.

That's kind of comforting, really.

I was talking about the original form, as created by Moore. The number of transistors on the cheapest chip size doubling every X months (with X=18 as recently stated, it was smaller once).

It's dead.

If you go back one and half cycle, you'll see that it does not add to a doubling for any big manufacturer. But what's most troubling is that the rate of increase is going down.

Yep, that happened in the past, and manufacturers recovered (altough not for so long). But this time it's different. We are very near the limits of MOSFET created on silicon by lithography, and we are so invested on this technology that I doubt we'll be able to transition quickly into anything else.

I read them as saying the same thing. What would Bezos be more likely to regret in the future - staying at a cushy high-paying job when he had an awesome idea he could have implemented, always wondering what might have been if only he had tried it, or trying a grand idea, failing at it, probably not losing much of anything, and going back to another cushy high-paying job?
I'd have more sympathy for GG if he wasn't using the Snowden docs to further build his personal brand.

He's treating these docs like a marketer treats a new product launch, and because of that, I have little faith in his analysis. I'm happy to see /news standing up for what they believe in.
What particular elements are you having issues with? I.e. which parts aren't lean (yet) in your case?

Reddit moderation is generally terrible as for larger traffic areas require full time moderators, and as a result of them being non-paid, you can end up with people running the show who otherwise wouldn't get hired to do so. Luck of the draw and early adoption are really key to being a mod in r/news or elsewhere. This also leads to abuses that exist likely due to their inability to exert such control elsewhere.

Part of the reason why I like HN's moderation is you do not know who is generally doing the moderation work--same goes for places like 4chan if I might say. This prevents the sort of power tripping you will see on Reddit because there isn't a way to prove your worth. While I find some of the content posted here is not to my liking, I rarely have anything if at all to say about how the site is administered.

Now whether or not this is censorship is subjective. To say that Reddit is engaging in censorship in this case is a bit erroneous as these moderators are not employees. You can still post these stories elsewhere without consequence.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Thanks for posting this.
I suspect that the bitcoins have been exchanged for something else and are back circulating around. The beauty of the heist is that any bitcoin in circulation invariably passes through transactions where the parties have a compelling interest in not being attached to the transaction.

After finding a stolen bitcoin, unravelling its history back to the Mt. Gox Heist is likely to meet a wall of resistence - e.g. if it passed through Silk Road the parties on both sides will be reluctant to come forward and provide information.

In terms of a tort, is it civil or criminal? Was the loss of the coins by Mt. Gox simply an unsatisfactory business transaction? Supposing there was a theft, how should the bitcoins be valued? By the amount of storage space they consume, by the cost of the resources required to create them? If by some market price, which one - some average at the time of their creation, at the time of their loss, at the time of their recovery, or at the time of the prosecution? Many of those values are zero.

Finally, how many of Mt. Gox's customers are going to come forward and claim ownership if such claims are accompanied by a risk of being asked "And how came you to acquire these bitcoins?"

Unlike fiat currency, no government has an interest in supporting the agreed upon fiction that bitcoins are not a fiction. Stealing cash is a crime because the government has an interest in cash being an asset.

The problem with cryptocurrency is the proportion of black and grey market interests it attracts. With bitcoin, they were there first and good citizens second. Separating good citizens from their money was always going to be an attractive option, probably more attractive than separating participants in the black and grey markets from theirs given the greater potential for more serious reprisals which might accompany theft.

It's been over since the first Bitcoin story on NPR.
Win8 was an attempt to convert from a desktop interface to a tablet interface. But the thing is, I'm still using a desktop. There's no way you can convince me to use a tablet interface on a desktop, especially when my monitor is not touch enabled. You can offer it to me for free and I would still politely turn you down. I already have Win7 on my current machine and it does everything that I require. Why exactly would I take a step back in interface design when I'm happy right now?
the thing is more nuanced: it is assumed you are evading taxes/laundering money and need to prove otherwise.
If you can prove this money is not untaxed income, than you're fine.

Yes, the duty of proof is opposed to the normal (you need to prove you are innocent).
Possibly because you work so much.
Arial wasn't around until 1982.

I think it happened more or less by mistake. The intent wasn't to make it be a substitute for Helvetica:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial

The letter shapes of Arial are based on Monotype Grotesque.[5][6] Subtle changes and variations were made to both the letterforms and the spacing between characters in order to make it more readable at various resolutions.

The changes cause the typeface to nearly match Linotype Helvetica in both proportion and weight[7] (see figure), and perfectly match in width. Nevertheless, there are differences. One columnist observed "Arial was drawn more rounded than [Helvetica], the curves softer and fuller and the counters more open. The ends of the strokes on letters such as c, e, g and s, rather than being cut off on the horizontal, are terminated at the more natural angle in relation to the stroke direction."
Given the huge price increases bitcoin has experienced, many people bought bitcoin with a small portion of their net worth that later grew into the vast majority of their net worth. Some of these people were unable to withdraw from MtGox (their USD withdrawal issues were ongoing since June).

It is probably better to say sub-Reddit moderators, they are given a free hand.

(That this is not consistent with their jargon doesn't really matter, the moderators of /r/AskScience can't do anything about you starting /r/Asklutuspaboutpsychology, they don't have the ability to moderate "Reddit", the various levels of site administrators do that)
Wouldn't the sheer number of coins involved make tumbling services almost useless. What is the volume that a single tumbler gets per day? If you put in tens of thousands of coins, and there are only a few dozen coins in the Tumblr that day, your coins are going to be most of what comes back.
Mea culpa, I used too many buzzwords. Thanks for the reminder. I don't want to become that guy.
Microsoft says TS is supported in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web. That's a free download with a license that allows one to do commercial development. It won't have everything the pay versions have, but it will be more than enough for TS development.
At first I thought the technical challenges inherent in maintaining state for a web of arbitrarily placed transmitters cooperatively targeting thousands of moving devices would make this technology impractical for deployment in the wild, but now I believe. pCell is going to be revolutionary. I can't wait to get rid of my consoles and stream new, triple-A games over it.
You are correct, and the parent post before you is also correct.

Google's algorithm put a great deal of value on domain names, which provided a strong incentive for owners of a strong domain name to pump out low quality content. Low quality content can be the example you give, it can be "re-authoring" someone elses article, or is can be blatant copy and paste which is generally avoided due to the obviousness.

When a media property, such as the Huffington Post, pumps out this volume of low quality content the advertising revenue can subsidize the cost of paying for original journalist content.

On another note, take a look at The Daily Mail. They pump out timely news pieces so quickly that they are covered in typos and sometimes can't even keep left and right straight in photo captions.
I haven't found any disadvantage to TypeScript over JavaScript. It's also trivial to switch, since compilation mostly just removes type annotations.

I have however been annoyed at not being able to use sweet.js macros.
Funny, that article pretty much describes why I don't participate in Reddit much.

Drama, drama and more drama.

Your news is filtered no matter where you go to get it. Unless you're personally there and involved with every event happening around the world, you're getting filtered news.

If you don't like how /r/news is filtered don't go to /r/news. It's that simple.
Pirates buried their treasure in hidden locations rather than let someone hold on to it for them [1] :-).

My sibling comments (at time of post) point out Chrome/Firefox dev tools and jshint.. Which I also use every day integrated into the same development flow. Perhaps the question is better posed as "What IDE is so great for Javascript?"

FWIW I use VS2012 for Javascript development daily. I also add in ReSharper, the wonderful Web Essentials extension (http://vswebessentials.com/) and a few other extensions I adore ('Productivity Power Tools 2012' and 'Highlight all occurrences of a selected word'). I find the result to be exceptionally good.
It's different from the MIMO employed in Wifi or "normal" LTE. They do not create a cell per user, neither does a femto cell base station (it only creates a small cell, not a personal cell).
TypeScript means ReSharper can do a better job than it does with JavaScript. Brilliant!
If you've ever used reddit, you'll have noticed that subreddits have pretty strict rules that are clearly and prominently displayed and they offer alternatives subs if your content doesn't fit.

I'd hardly call any of this convenient. It's simply the way reddit filters content.

Ive been running a Hackintosh for years without any serious issues but i am growing worried about apples direction in many things and the platform lock-in as a whole. I also hate to adapt to different keyboard layouts when going back to Windows for gaming.
Thats why i am toying with going for a Win 8.1/Linux Mint combination again, maybe even Windows only would suffice as vagrant took a lot of pain out of development on windows.
I hope you also support non ARM Android devices like Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (Anrdoid 4x on Intel Atom x86) and there are also devices with MIPS CPU.
Alternatively (assuming dst isn't a pointer):

rv = strlcpy(dst, src, sizeof(dst));
check(rv == strlen(dst), "Error, src string truncated");

Or perhaps more clear:

strlcpy(dst, src, sizeof(dst));
check(strlen(src) == strlen(dst), "Error, src string truncated");
Does no one use a pretty printer before committing code? Pretty printing would eliminate any doubt as to what code belongs to what if-statement and the like.
Absolutely! You can search tools, libraries, tutorials, everything a developer wants! You can search by tags, titles, resource type, keywords ...
Also you will find not just the tool you need, but probably the _best_ tool, because of likes (you can ordery by likes, so the best tools go to the top of your search results).
It's just that the code had been around for years by that point, and given that, that's not the story the diff tells.
Good point. Particularly interesting because you are suggesting an inverse correlation between work hours and wealth. Can you point me to some evidence for that?

I might expect some sort of parabola, e.g. people who work very few hours tend to be less wealthy, and people who work too many hours tend to be less wealthy, but people who work at the "sweet spot" in between are the most wealthy. But an actual negative linear correlation? I wouldn't expect that.

Even given that Vallywag/Gawker is the source cited for this blogspam, the title is still inexcusable.

Some spammer who allegedly used to work for Microsoft created fake FBI/Secret Service entries using Google MapMaker and added his phone # to them, then recorded the calls that were made to him by people thinking they were speaking to the FBI.

Substitute "Microsoft engineer" with "spammer" and "exploits" with "spams".

What's even more ridiculous is that the Gawker piece basically boils down to "spammer: good, Google: evil": http://valleywag.gawker.com/how-a-hacker-intercepted-fbi-and...

It's not really as simple as that. If you say GG is partaking in biased journalism, who's to say whether the silence and hesitance of established news organizations (to not be as aggressively iniquisitive as GG has always been) is pro-gov bias or not?

You should read Bill Keller's conversation with Greenwald here on the objectivity/partiality of news: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/28/opinion/a-conversation-in-...

It's a little long, but it's a very, very important conversation, everyone should read it really.
Perhaps "fucking with debt collectors" is not the best way to phrase this. At first I was left disliking the existence a service that claimed to try to fuck with people (or companies) that are just trying to collect the money they are owed. They are not in the wrong... people in default are. (Even in situations were shit happens and you're behind... the fact remains that you owe someone money and they aim to collect it.) But it seems the service is meant to help both sides.

EDIT: I also understand the collectors can be very invasive and annoying. But think about how you would be if someone owed you $5k. Would you just ping them once a month or would you be a little bit in their face trying to get your money?
So that they can re-buy the asset at the newly-lowered value (with the assumption that it will return to its previous value)?

What I find funny is that this is, ironically, Microsoft's old strategy but with a positive twist. Embrace, extend, extinguish. Microsoft has already embraced Javascript - we could argue that they brought their own demise as the dominating platform when they created XMLHttpRequest. Now they're extending it.

Maybe I'm naive but at this point I don't fear Typescript extinguishing Javascript. If they send things to ECMA for standardization, they'll definitely prove a point in this direction.

I'm not a Windows developer, but I'm fairly certain there are options of tools/languages for Windows development that are not offered directly from Microsoft.

Again, are we talking about developing applications to run on Windows or developing on the core?
They mean the same thing colloquially because people are uncomfortable saying the words "I'm sorry." They want the formality to separate themselves from the awkwardness and frankness of admitting an emotional state.
Although I disagree with the premise that news shouldn't contain any opinion (because it's not always black and white, especially since the article in question contains original reporting), I would play a devil's advocate and argue that this isn't an opinion.

The sentence states that this cannot be justified by the government, which may be a fact. Or do you know of any justification? We could maybe even prove that this contradicts freedom of speech, and therefore cannot be justified.

(What I am trying to show here is that you can, to some extent, make an opinion into a fact and vice versa.)
I absolutely get what you're trying to say, but---so what? How is programmers being aware of their luxurious jobs going to help people with less luxurious jobs? Will the situation for other people improve if people here merely stop complaining about recruiters and procrastination? If they merely do a mental version of catholic style self flagellation? Is this another variant of "eat your dinner, there are children in Africa starving" routine? What good does me eating my dinner do to a starving kid in Africa? Etc.

There's nothing wrong about complaining about relevant problems in one's profession, even if those problems seem nice to have to other people, and not complaining won't magically make other people's lives more comfortable. And having a "luxurious" job that pays well is nothing to be compulsively ashamed of if it's an honest job not involving exploitation of others (which programming in almost all (?) cases is).
But IS investigative reporting "news"? Traditionally they've been bundled together, and there is undoubtedly overlap (depending on the piece), but at their core they could be considered quite different.

Hm how does that make sense? For gaming you would still need to run Windows on that Mac Pro and the workstation grade CPU/GPUs are a waste of money if the primary usecase is games.
The incentives have to be at a higher level. Schools and school districts need more motivation to hire and promote good teachers and fire bad ones.

That's not to say that the people running schools and school districts don't want better teachers or to fire bad ones, but they (whether appointed or elected) aren't losing their jobs when that doesn't happen. And schools and districts aren't dissolved when that doesn't happen. Worst case scenario, they get rescued by the court system, which would be considered a bailout if it happened to a bank.

Most workaholics I know neglect their health, they stop exercising, and they are generally miserable.

I used to be all three. These days, I prioritize the first two points, but I'm still occasionally miserable when the work is tedious. If the work is engrossing, it's hard to pull me away from it because it feels more like I'm exploring than working. I've gone to great lengths to make sure my work is interesting. My longevity will hopefully provide a useful data point.
That is the funny part, and it would work. If you wore conductive clothing you could create a faraday cage around yourself thus preventing RF energy from crossing that boundary.

On a related note, discussing this offline with some friends they pointed out that the pCell system is getting feedback from the phone about its signal strength, and your body wouldn't be giving that feedback, so you would have to have something tied into the pCell on your person (or not move). Your phone could work for that. The question then is how far away from the phone can the energy be localized while the feedback from the phone would still be accurate enough. That I don't know.
