Yahoo ups it's security: All traffic now being encrypted through data centres
I could be a bit off here, but from what I remember about working with FDWs I think the biggest drawback is that you can't assume native access to system tables on a remote server, which means you can't do things like CREATE INDEX on a foreign table and aren't going to have, e.g., statistics about those tables. However, it does have pretty much all the information the optimizer does about the actual query, and if you're implementing your own storage engine like Citus rather than trying to hook into someone else's you can probably get around those problems.
Most compilers I know of start with an implementation in another language and eventually write a self-hosted one. Microsoft already had compilers for .NET, though, so you just compile it with those until it's self-hosting.

Bootstrapping a compiler from nothing is harder and involves a lot of incremental steps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(compilers)
You're absolutely correct. The expletives come from constantly have to reject this attack, and personal frustration.

It also comes because many of the people who use the "neo-luddism" grouping are not trying to saliently argue about basic income, or any real policy change (income related or otherwise) but are just looking for an easy way to dismiss the speaker.
This is almost second-nature in Lisp:

And tends to happen to other languages... you just have to bootstrap the first compiler.
Someone mentioned charging a 1000% markup for a flashy marketing site, but couldn't it be more like a heroku/aws type deal?

Use tarsnap as the backend, but add a more user friendly interface to it. And be up front about it, don't pretend you're doing something you're not. Colin could keep doing what he likes, and basically someone else will be handling the marketing side of things, and interface development, customer support etc...
Requiring people to call their bank is a much higher barrier than it should be, though? I buy stuff online all the time and things just work. I hope Rails Girls can use another payment processing solution.

We regularly dogfood, so we're on like N iterations of your structure, but that's the idea!
1) Sealing the bids certainly contains some information but what about, you know, the real world. Lots of things are continuing to happen in the real world that effect the value of securities. I want to incorporate as much of that information as possible into my bid so I'm gonna wait until the last possible moment to submit my bid.

2) Bid/ask spreads would increase for regular people not just market makers. If you increase the restrictions under which something can be traded that ads risk to making a trade. That will push apart spreads. The existence of market makers is orthogonal to that principal.

There's an infinite number of potential 'useful' ones too, and we picked some, could have picked others.
The Aha! moment didn't come until I called Google and the support person pointed out that the placement screen wouldn't show data for today. Until that point we spent a few days scratching our heads wondering what could account for the weird traffic patterns.

We have really detailed web analytics and the visitor patterns were just so unlike what we normally see. Especially the fact that the same visitor (almost always from an iPad) would come back multiple times with about 10 hours between visits. I am guessing that Google doesn't show the same ad to a user for some time after there has been a click which explains the 10 hours. But we were mystified why people who never left the landing page would click an ad again and again. Once we realized it was kids playing games it became obvious. Many times I have had to rescue my kids who accidentally clicked on an ad while playing an iPad game and gotten lost in some website.
Of course we won't starve, but just having enough food to go around is a pretty low bar for a society in which people can live comfortably. The working classes in the developing world today generally don't starve, but no one would say they have particularly comfortable living conditions. What jerf is saying that, in the absence of full robot automation, a society in which we have guaranteed basic income will make us poorer. The question is "how much poorer"?
What kind of patents do they have on the compiler tech, and is there any guarantee they won't go after you for using it?

OrientDB. Nothing too fancy though.

They have a comparison page (although it might be biased) :

I'd add that one of the reasons they became so popular is largely due to a very tolerant reddit admin team.

Try to make a similar service today and get growth on reddit the same way and you'll likely get added to the global spam block list.

Reddit has also invested an undisclosed amount, which Mr. Schaaf said was “very small in comparison.” Regardless of size, the investment from Reddit represents a formal business connection between two entities that have so far shared only a legacy and community.

Imgur was originally created as a gift to the Reddit community for easy image sharing, and now has grown to be larger than Reddit itself, pulling in over three billion monthly pageviews. What began as a platform for uploading images, Imgur has become a vibrant and shrewd community of commenters, uploaders and up-voters.

edit

Here's the origin in case anybody's interested

http://www.reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_to_reddit_i_cre...

If you look at MrGrim's early post history, it's a blatant violation of reddit's anti-spam rule. However, it was (and is) insanely useful and entirely disrupted the image hosting "industry". Even today, the vast majority of MrGrim's posts are imgur posts, which is an explicit violation of the "rules".

It's not a knock against imgur or reddit (I love both), just an interesting observation.

You can violate the rules if you're not obviously a bad actor. In this case, imgur and MrGrim was clearly spam, but it wasn't the bad kind of spam that everybody hates, it was the good kind of marketing where people actually get something useful from the exchange.

IIR imgur also had an explicit no porn policy for a very long while, except for NSFW reddits.

Is there some reason that a guy who made a bingo card creator has any real authority here? That probably sounds harsh, but I don't really understand why he feels he is in a position to criticize a very good product.
So the people complaining about being ripped off by HFTers aren't forced to trade with them, but they do so anyways because they don't care because it's not their own money? Then why are they complaining about being ripped off?

This comment doesn't make any sense?
Interesting article. I'd actually not heard of Tarsnap before, one question (to those who use it), why would a geek use it over:

tar -cf - / --exclude='/proc/*' --exclude='/dev/*' [..] | \
xz -z | \
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e -salt | \
> /mnt/your/networked/google/drive/backup.$(hostname -a).$(date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S").aes.tar.xz

I spent a while going through https://www.tarsnap.com/ and I didn't find any flexibility tarsnap offers over it. To make it work unattended, it's trivial to generate a unique key per backup for openssl (use a tmpfs) and then gpg encrypt the key and email it to sys admins or whatever mailing list before killing the tmpfs.

I could understand the appeal to less tech savvy users if there were a gui, or it featured cross platform support beyond those supported by tar, <insert compression tool>, openssl/aespipe/gpg/<insert encryption tool>, or the storage was super cheap.

So what's the value proposition here?
So it was CS at that specific university or no CS?
Or just sell the same product through two different channels. Call it "Tarsnap" and make it work via a CLI and low-fi Web site for the geeks who appreciate such things, and call it "Super Secure Backup Pro XP" (or whatever name appeals to normals) with a GUI and a lickable Web site for the non-geek population.

Underneath it can all be the same product, just packaged differently depending on who the potential customer is.
One of the benefits of a paranoid setup should be not having to constantly check on things.

>> However, doesn't a faster plane actually have a higher probability of intersecting the same space as a falling rock?

I'm pretty certain thats true - against my intuition.

If a meterite will be crossing 35,000 feet at 300 km/hr it will be in the layer of the atmosphere the height of a Boeing for say 1/10th second. (300km/h ~ 8m/s, Boeing 747 about 8m tall in body if you squint)

so an aircraft that is stationary (!) in the air, will consume 1 airframe's worth of space in that 1/10th of a second.

A plane that travels its own length in 1/10th of a second will consume two airframes worth of space in the same 1/10th so doubling its chances of getting hit.

A Boeing 747 is approx 70m long which would mean to double its chances of getting hit it would have to travel 700m/sec or about twice the speed of sound (340m/s)

Wow.
It should. Here's the Roslyn source, and it looks to be all in C# and VB: http://roslyn.codeplex.com/
In our account penalizing the bid for mobile ads didn't help because it looks like Google treats 'mobile' and 'tablets' separately. So we prevented ads on phones, but you can't penalize the bid for tablets so that doesn't work to prevent games on iPads.

The Google support person told me they can't tell the difference between tablets and desktops, but I don't believe that for a second. Our own analytics clearly showed the user-agent for all of the visitors was for tablets and not desktops.
"Even when it comes to B2B, it is better for a service like this to get into enterprise via their geeks than try to appeal to their suits, because Tarsnap's strengths mean nothing to a suit."

This is very explicitly talked about in the article.

And as Patrick says there - a "geek" will NOT manage to get most businesses to use Tarsnap. For lack of many features, but also because of the "terrible" design (terrible at convincing businesses to use Tarsnap).

Thanks for sharing! I never had the opportunity to attend such a camp, and I'm glad to hear mathematics camps are well balanced.

I agree that the merging strategy makes a lot sense, esp. for the reasons you give in the second paragraph. Hopefully the critical mass of girls interested in CS will exist soon.
I would think it's accurate to state that the system never had a failure in flight if it never had a failure in flight, despite how many times it flew.

If you were to compare it to something else, then how many times it flew becomes important. For example, you can't necessarily say that a 100% success rate over 5 attempts is better than a 95% success rate over 100 attempts.
That's why you rotate the creative and continually test new variations.

I think pessimizer was saying that the relative return to the labour at the bottom end is low.

It is like (to be hyperbolic) living a life of luxury, but on giving the starving man who labours for you a bit of food, suggesting that that is ample reward for his efforts, because of how much value that bit of food has for him. Then, you can top that off by saying that it doesn't matter how much food he produces for you, it isn't of much value because you have so much already.

People reject the labour theory of value, probably correctly in fundamental terms, but the marginal and subjective theories of value both seem to promote (and justify) this kind of structural inequality.

An example from the relatively recent NPR Planet Money t-shirt project [0] suggests that for that product just under 12% of the cost (6% of the sale price) went to the people who made the yarn, cut the cloth, and sewed it all together.

If there wasn't a scarcity, the people you describe couldn't afford to make themselves that hard to find.

The fact that they don't bother applying for jobs or, directly or indirectly, publicly soliciting offers is a symptom of that scarcity.

Also, the problem I encounter with calling on the people I worked with and would like to work with again is that most prefer to be self-employed, and can easily make more money that way.
I wonder if 42PB of data would trigger a bandwidth cap on my T-Mobile unlimited 4G plan.
First you solve the chicken and egg problem by writing a bootstrap compiler for the language in some other language (e.g. a C# compiler in C or C++, or a C compiler in assembly language). Then you can compile programs in the new language, and compilers are programs, so you can write a C# compiler in C# and the binary so produced will be able to compile its own source.

I've used Eclipse fine for years. Eclipse has joined the larger than life targets I think like Java used to be. Maybe if Twitter releases an Eclipse plugin it will be cool again. I use it for Clojure, Scala, HTML/JS/CSS, Java and Android (yes all in the same install and no it doesn't die for me).

The only thing Eclipse sucks at for me is JSDT and apparently JBoss is committing fixes to it for the next release. In the meantime eclipse-jshint does 60% of what I need out of a javascript integration. JSDT upgrades are long overdue imo.

Also I love jeeyuls eclipse themes to give it a sleek look (I use his minimalist config). With the June release finally support dark themes, Eclipse will be prettier than ever.

edit: I just upgraded to Java 8 today to try out Nashorn. I had 0 problems with Eclipse, but I switched it back to 7 just because our latest release is on 7 so I didn't want to be the odd man out on the dev team. At home I'll probably go 8 because why not.

He uses scrypt, not openssl/aes-256-cbc.

A few differences.
There's a trade off though. If C# only runs on Windows then a lot of developers who run Linux will never consider C# as an option. If it does run on Linux, then those developers might end up purchasing Visual Studio in order to develop C#. A lot of developers who previously used C# are also leaving the tech for others like Ruby since they aren't tied to Windows.
Thanks.

To answer the question "what it does and how", sysdig captures system calls and other system level events using a linux kernel facility called tracepoints, which means much less overhead than strace.

It then "packetizes" this information, so that you can save it into trace files and filter it, a bit like you would do with tcpdump. This makes it very flexible to explore what processes are doing.

We also pack it with a set of scripts that make it easier to extract useful information and do troubleshooting.
thanks man. I have requested permission.
I dropped Eclipse a long time ago in favor of other IDEs. I like Eclipse a lot, it was my IDE of choice. I just got tired of all the plugins, the general sluggishness I felt using it, the oddities with it when it came to Maven support (sometimes having to completely close Eclipse / Relaunch for a maven build to work right).

I had other oddities as well, such as totally biffing my SVN solution a time or two because of files getting locked that shouldn't have been locked.

In the end I moved to IntelliJ and it's been wonderful. Been a bit different getting used to the keymapping, but overall it's been a good experience I have not looked back.
So it is. Thank you.
I'd love to hear more about their issues with PyPy, it sounds like they wrote of PyPy simply because they don't understand why it works so well. Not to mention that this is mostly a re-hash of stuff found in unladen-swallow.

I mean, if your end goal is to write another Python, sure go for it. But it really sounds like these people haven't done their research. I see nothing to write home about.

--- EDIT ---

Not to mention that JS is a completely different language form Python. Everytime you add two objects in Python you have the possibility of hitting a system defined add, or __add__ or __getattr__ or __getattribute__, or __radd__, or __getattr__ (looking for __radd__), etc. That'll be fun....
A way to attribute view through conversions is to have Perfect Audience run a test for you:

Keep cookie-ing people but don't show half of them any ads. Then compare the conversion rate to the people shown ads and come up with VTR attribution coefficient.

awhile back, google decided it would be better to ram mobile traffic down your throat. ie when you buy from them mobile is included by default. thats not to say that mobile won't do well for you. you'd be best served to separate this. on the google content network you'd be better served to create specific placements instead of using keywords. especially in your case. you can get good traffic from the content network it just takes a bit of learning/tweaking.
Let's say that meteorite is about the size of a baseball. 120mph is faster than a fastball baseball pitch, and getting hit by a fastball? That can do damage, which is why baseball players wear protective gear (the catcher's padding is not for show). An iron nickel meteorite is maybe five-six times denser than water; a baseball? Well baseballs float - they're about 2/3 as dense as water. So the meteorite is maybe 3-4 times as dense as a baseball, going 20% faster than the fastest fastball ever recorded; so it's carrying more than 4 times the kinetic energy of a fastball. If that hit you, it could certainly be immediately fatal, or at least cause severe injuries; I would imagine that becoming severely injured while skydiving comes with a significantly increased risk of death.

But maybe he's just being a drama queen.

Some of the mobile games definitely use questionable ways to present the ads. If anyone has ever played Subway Surfer (on Android), they can probably remember the countless amount of times one may accidentally click on the ads. On top of that, the ads load in such funny ways at times that it is hard to avoid clicking the ad.

As an advertiser and publisher myself, I feel bad for the people spending money on advertising in that game, because the 99% of the time that I have clicked on an ad in that game is because it was a mistake.

But what it buys Oracle is not performance, but rather bragging rights for being a little faster at a moment in time.

However 3-6 months later, you'll get comparable performance from improved kernel, CPU and disk speeds. Are those 20% in performance for 6 months worth the premium oracle is charging (which, in part, reflects their harder work)? For most customers most of the time the answer is no.

If you depend on performance, you don't use Oracle in the first place - Vyahu, OneTick, kdb, Vertica are the speed demons (as well as TimesTen which was acquired by Oracle - but is distinct from their "standard" offering)

I totally get your point but I don't think VTC is a total BS. With services like Adroll, which I use, you can set a time window for a view event to be considered a conversion (VTC). (i.e. with 5-day time window, if someone is served an impression and converts after 5 days, that won't count as a conversion). This way, you can get a better net impact of view events.) And I think the default setting of retargeting ads providers won't offer a short time window like 5 days.
