So a compiler must emit a check for signed integer overflow on every integer operation? That seems absurd. It makes sense to optionally instrument for that (as clang offers) but is otherwise ridiculous.

My assumption is that they ran a correlation test, which checks how much of the variation in name-changing is explained just by Scrabble score. If that's high enough, there just isn't much room for other factors that aren't themselves correlated with Scrabble score.
PTSD didn't exist in previous generations either.

>>All of which is to say, I think the 10x they're talking about is unrealistic.

Bear in mind they are claiming 10x improvement in MIPS/Watt, not MIPS. So I guess what they are aiming at is a 13W chip with i7 performance.

Even if they managed a 65W i7 they would be on a winner.
Devil's advocate - CSV is superior, because edge case bugs (a comma in the data) are likely to be tested.

The edge case bugs in ASCII codes could still crop up. It shouldn't, but then, valid SQL shouldn't crop up in a web form either. And when it does, we'll need escape codes just like CSV, only it won't be well tested in all the tools (because it's not going to frequently happen).

It's like all the OSS advocates laughing at Microsoft's idiotic "My Documents" folder. It's not there because they didn't realise how much trouble it would case programmers, it's there because they wanted for force people to deal with edge cases.

Ten Simple Rules for Effective Computational Research
Thank you for reply. Then I suppose re-using the SHA2 primitive doesn't make much sense, except perhaps in awkwardly constrained environments (area starved ASIC/FPGA, embedded processor with accelerated SHA, etc). Regardless, it's interesting to know that the mixing function can be swapped around.
That sort of thing needs a flag mechanism, not an a priori vetting of each comment. Enough flags = lock replies, a few more flags = hide comment.

Designing and building a CPU from scratch is still possible; in fact it's easier now (using an FPGA and a hardware design language) than it was a few years ago (using 7400-series TTL chips and wire wrap). It's old, but I highly recommend the book Understanding Digital Computers by Forrest M. Mims (1987). It teaches the architecture of a four-bit computer completely and is sufficient to gain a foothold from which to read Hennessey and Patterson. From there, read Gordon Bell's description of the VAX (and The Soul of a New Machine). For perspective, learn about the architecture of Burroughs and the IBM AS/400.

I can think of no better way to grok the underlying hardware. Write a simple assembler. Next, begin writing an OS.
I had always assumed that when I paid an ISP for an internet connection that payment was so that I could send and receive packets across their network. Clearly I was wrong.
Only the web version is ad-free. The iOS version has ads. Its longevity I believe will be greater compared to the Threes game. What makes you think otherwise - that Threes will stay on the top for longer than 2048?
A note on Bitcoin’s monetary disequilibrium
We have no browser chrome, for two reasons:

(1) Browser UX research isn't part of the research agenda for Servo at this time. (That isn't to say we aren't interested in browser UX research at Mozilla, just that that isn't being done under the Servo project.)

(2) It helps to ensure that we are embeddable. We want Servo to be an embeddable Web rendering engine for people to use in their own projects.
Speaking of the Mill team, now that Mill Computing is exiting stealth mode, will there be any positions available for recent grads in the next few months/years? Say, someone with several years serious internship experience in (of all things) working on software teams alongside CPU development teams? (not really sure of a shorter way to state that... someone who spends a lot of time single-stepping assembly? ;))

Here in Seattle, new buildings are required to be mixed-use in many areas. But there seems to be a glut of commercial tenants for the locations. About 3 out of 5 of these buildings seem to fill up quickly with residential tenants (and rising rents!), condo owners or even offices, but with their ground-floor commercial facilities lying empty for years.

Most of these buildings have parking around and in front of them, and are in convenient areas, but they still seem to lie empty, while the big-box stores and mega-lots still persist. Even with favourable zoning, it seems like there may be other economic or selection factors at play.

I do wish the spaces could be used more creatively in the meantime, it'd be great to have some pop-up galleries for example.

Me and lsc at prgmr.com have bantered about offering arm servers but the cost/wattage per core compared to xen guests still isn't competitive, plus we haven't found anything yet which supports ECC. If there was sufficient interest though we could try offering it. I already have a lot of experience with TI so we'd probably use the beaglebone black http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBone%20Black Probably storage would be a combination of network (maybe usb) + the local flash for ephemeral data.
Fortunately, so far, most countries have not adopted much of the American madness. With the exception of the UK, internal flights are a pleasure - simple metal detector, simple bag scan, and you're on your way. The US approach by the TSA gets more onerous every year and accomplishes nothing.

Personally I think this is down to a certain inexperience the US has with terrorism. We still believe the world can be "made safe". We believe that -reacting- to terrorism is warranted. (and of course everything is now a " terrorist act")

Most other countries have lived with terrorist behavior for decades or longer. They learned that it is precisely by not reacting that you fight back. They learned that no, the world is not safe, and you can get killed in a car accident today, or struck by lightning tomorrow, or indeed just by riding a bicycle. (more people die on bicycles than by terrorism - and more people in the US every MONTH die in cars than were killed on Sept 11.)

The US currently has a teenager response to terrorism, and it will take years before they mature to where the rest of the world is already at. Until then, just like with any teenager, you have to let it work its course. The experience of others is seldom learned -experience doesn't work like that.
Any stimulant will increase your perceived ability to concentrate while it's active. That doesn't mean that it's curing anything or that you have any sort of condition. It doesn't even mean that your perception is correct, though it can be. It just means you're having a normal reaction to the stimulant.

Ah, I see. Well, my intention was to simply add evidence to the claim that the creator of the well known 2048 didn't know about Threes when he created it. There seemed to be a dispute, so I remembered the comment and linked to it.

The webpage for that 2048 references Threes, so even he is supporting a line of direct influence.
This sentiment really resonated with me:

"He explained it by way of a story: sometimes, he said, he would pick up his three-year-old son from nursery and put him on the back seat of his tandem bike and they would pedal home along the South Saskatchewan river. The snow would muffle the noise of the city. Dusk would paint the sky in colours so exquisite that Judge could not begin to find names for them. The snow would reflect those hues. It would glow like the sky, and Judge would breathe in the cold air and hear his son breathing behind him, and he would feel as though together they had become part of winter itself."

I've been reading The Wisdom of Insecurity, and this is a central theme that Watts discusses - the idea of being separate and removed from nature. He argues that the isolation of the self from the surroundings causes stress and insecurity . Somehow, this article is hinting towards the same concept, but from a different perspective. I wonder how in other ways we can improve our society by increasing human joy that come from experiential happiness as opposed to purely pursuing industrial optimization and efficiency.
If the homeowner owns the last mile, then they become responsible for maintenance, ensuring they comply with FCC and other regulations, and negotiating terms of interconnection. Obviously, that's out of reach of most of the population, so homeowners don't own the last mile.
"I have no chance of achieving my overreaching goal of abolishing marriage for everyone, but by teaming up with religious bigots and homophobes, who I agree with about preventing gay marriage, but disagree with about preventing straight marriage, at least I can achieve a small part of my unattainable goal by perpetuating discrimination against a small minority of historically oppressed people, because they have less power to defend their right to marriage than the general population."
There's the same 'feature' which works against insightful commentary. Spend too long crafting a response, get "unknown or expired link". Not particularly endorsing of a considered, pensive response.

Exactly. Looking at it from both worlds, I don't think a European adequately understands how large a country like the US (or Canada for that matter) is. Likewise an American would never understand the smallness of being, say, a Luxembourg citizen and travelling to France within a day. Totally different worlds.

I always tell people to travel outside their comfort zones purely for this insight. One you experience how another culture lives it is hard to be close minded again.
2048 was a good game for the first two playthroughs. Then I realized the trick mentioned in this blog and it was dead.

Threes remains interesting. It is a better game.
"The comment could be tangential/adversarial to your opinion, and so you might not upvote it, however it could still add to the discussion, and hence you would endorse it."

I was under the impression that upvoting was to reward comments that added to the discussion, rather than for ones that you happened to agree with. I have upvoted comments that expressed a view that I thought was wrong, and that said that I was wrong, because they were good comments. There is always a chance that I'm wrong, however infinitesimal that might be.
I'm sure there are companies who would provide that service without requiring ownership
I've always seen local governments as the root cause of "last mile" providers' ability to turn their customers into the product. Why haven't elected officials made more stringent demands upon the companies given monopoly (or at best duopoly) rights to convey bits to and from my home?

I have a condo in Chicago and was delighted to learn that a company was offering our building last mile connectivity via microwave along with SLAs for not only bandwidth but latency as well (to which point I don't recall)! Sadly, the condo board didn't seem so enthralled. Unlike the suburbs, city folk have more options apparently.
My last name is Richard. My father and his mom pronounced it Ree-shard (it's of French origin, I think?). My parents divorced when I was just a baby, and I grew up pronouncing it like the male first name.

I asked my mom once why we pronounced it differently and she told me that nearly every time she had to give her name for something, the person would ask her, "Wait, how is that spelled?" and after she'd spell it, they'd reply, "Ohhhh, Richard[said like the first name]." After a couple years of this she just gave up and started giving her name that way up-front because it was faster.
Homeowners are responsible for maintenance of many things, including things subject to assorted laws and regulations. Indeed, they can be subjected to FCC enforcement action simply for turning on an common store-bought electrical device, such as a fan or TV.
I would like to see someone do a traceroute and explain the hops, who is paying at each step, which steps are in dispute, etc...
I was in a similar situation with you, I too was prescribed as having Blephartitis by multiple opthamologist, I did what they told me to do, clean my eye lids, warm compress, eye drops (various brands) didn't help.

After diligently tracking the root cause, data gathering and the likes, I found the issue and I have been dry eyes free since (mostly). As a matter of fact, I had my LASIK, which makes dry eyes worse usually, and have little to no dry eyes.

What's intriguing about your case is this sentence "I wake up with tired, dry eyes and it's a battle all day long" your symptom is the same as mine. My situation is this: My eyes don't close all the way when I sleep, thus throughout the night, they will get exposed and dry up badly. After 8 hours, it's plain to see why I would wake up with dry eyes and the dryness lasts throughout the day.

My solution is simple, before going to bed, I tape my eyes shut and I use a 3M tape. I tape it in a way if I try to open my eyes I won't be able to.

Please do try that for a few days and let me know if it helps :)
> Companies like Yahoo exist to make money - or, at least, they must continue to make money in order to continue existing.

Hows that working for Yahoo now?

Actually, that's kind of disingenuous. Google optimises for less clicks per user, because Google is a site for people who want to get stuff done.

Yahoo and Facebook are time-wasters. And unlike Yahoo, I can't see it ever transitioning to anything other than a time-waster.

Time-wasters are basically unprofitable (you're getting clicks from people who are looking to kill time, not find a new insurance policy), but that's what Facebook is. Unless Facebook wants to become the new Linked-In (and they don't - Linked-In just doesn't have the market cap), they just have to be a better time-waster.

If Facebook had a lower valuation, they might be able to move to a position where their focus was on serving people doing stuff, not wasting time, but they can't.
This is exactly why I agree that this whole mess is a load of crap. Net neutrality should be a given. If I'm paying for a service, then it should be up to me how I use it, and the entity that I am paying should not have the right to arbitrarily alter my traffic. I mean, if you send a letter to someone popular, that doesn't give the USPS the right to delay your letter. The same should go for ISPs.
Likewise, ADHD used to be called "being a child," and still is in most parts of the world.
That's a good observation, but doesn't really get at the point the parent was making. If I may continue the example of First Amendment rights, consider the well-founded prohibition on yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater, which seems more or less in line with an ad for boots on the Internet.

Could you address the issue of only allowing a user to post one comment at a time? I think the parent made a good point on the potential chilling effect that may have on parallel comment threads.
> One challenge of the AppStore (and obviously the Android stores, and simply by definition the Web) - is that there is no real way to "reward" the original developers for their many months of hard work, when others can simply clone, tweak the artwork and mechanics (or in the case of Zynga, just the artwork) - and release and market their own duplicate of a game after someone else has done all the hard work.

There certainly are ways. But it involves building involved games that are more than the distillation of one trick. I'm confident that we'll do well with our RPG on mobile in part because Zynga will literally never copy the game I'm working on and Kemco--the biggest purveyor of RPGs on handhelds--just plain makes worse games than what we'd actually allow out the door (that whole "professional pride" thing, I'd rather release nothing than release a bad game).

I like Threes. It has a really neat core conceit and I enjoy playing it. But another word for "core conceit" is "gimmick", and most gimmicks are hard to make exclusive.

This concept is often referred to as "homes with tails". The idea is that if everyone controlled a line from their house to a central facility (kind of like a small meet-me room) then at those facilities there could be significant competition that would drive down prices.

Is there any way you can get a copy of the disk to me? I'm interested in old file formats.
Ugh, is this even a question anywhere except in the US? The ISP should be paying for it because that is literally the service they are suppose to be providing, it's the reason consumers are giving them money.

In what other industry can you accept payment for a service and then try to make a legitimate claim that you then don't have to provide that service or maintain the infrastructure you are selling? It's fucking nuts.

When the so called "free market" fails and you have monopolies in place that are so anti-competitive and anti-consumer, then maybe it's time to go looking for another solution.

Perhaps this is the situation when it's time to look for some sort of state or government regulation. Or maybe it's the exact opposite. Perhaps these companies are in control of tight regulatory procedures that it prevents competition. I'm not overly familiar with the current system in place in the US, but whatever the current situation is, you really need to start demanding the exact opposite.
Sure, but those things don't require digging up wires blocks away from your home. Or mounting up on a telephone pole to fix a downed line, as would be the case with my home.
> I'm not sure what Threes is doing but it does seem to take an inordinately long amount of time.

They've blamed it on Game Center in the past.
"Usability" never seems to mean anything specific, but rather whatever the speaker has in mind as a personal taste. In this case, my best guess is that you mean "UI works exactly like Photoshop"
Jolla's Sailfish OS Is Now Available For Google's Nexus 4
It's really even worse than that - not just the consumer is paying, but netflex, etc. also buy bandwidth from their ISP. Comcast is refusing to allow an adequate interconnection between the the content providers' ISPs to the comcast network unless they pay a ransom.
I think you've done a pretty good job of painting yourself as a selfish asshole, and trying to paint yourself as the victim is less ingenuous.

To further the endorsing aspect, how about we link the endorser to the endorsee? If the user endorses a comment which gets downvoted or flagged, there should be some negative reinforcement for the endorser. Similarly, if the user endorses a post that then goes on to get lots of upvotes, the endorser should also receive some positive reinforcement.

Google penalized for unfair trade practices in India
Looks they could not bribe their way out :)
The penalty looks paltry though.
That still doesn't address the apparent issue of PG being the only person capable of implementing this feature.
For accessibility, they still need the text. So only hassle saved is the minor one of designing a bit larger to fit languages that need more pixels.
> I'm still debating going to see a doctor but I think they might write me off as an addict since I'm in my 20s...

> Honestly, I had to look that one up...that didn't describe me much at all

When I was 18 and two years into college, I started to realize that everything non-drug-related I had done with my parents and therapists in the past wasn't working as well as it used to. Not quite a couple years later I was super tired from having bronchitis for six months, and everything imploded around me because I had no energy left to do anything. The new therapist I saw during then thought that I was being ridiculous by thinking of myself as a drug-seeking addict when drugs I had never actually tried before were the one thing I really needed at that point. I was so convinced I was in the wrong that I had been crying for over thirty minutes straight about it to her.

tl;dr impostor syndrome with my own mental health.

I'm in my mid-20s now and nobody that knows me thinks of me as an addict. I don't know what I would do without Adderall at this point - and that's in combination with a decent amount of behavioral strategies/techniques too. Sure, there are lots of people out there that abuse it, but I am just a total mess without and there's no way I'm making excuses up to keep on being a mess because of what other people do. Seek help because maybe you do have a problem, and you may come to realize that dealing with a known problem (or knowing that you don't have one) is like night and day compared to what's going on right now.
Sure, but you can feel free to never use or support the false starts. In open source they are allowed to die. In a closed ecosystem they have a tendency to live on as deprecated zombies.

Talking about the way Grooveshark structure their data could be an interesting topic.

I would be surprised to test how much time it would take to find some playlists containing a song even with a trivial algorithm. The reason I'm saying that is that it would be very fast for popular songs to find a few playlists (We don't need 1000 results, just a few is great for our case). And for the less known songs, I'm happy to wait for quality playlists! ;)
