I wouldn't imagine porting OS X to ARM would be the hurdle as most of it is already done in that iOS is most of OS X. Apple has full control of that source code base and probably already has done this, like they did during the transition to IA-32.

It would be the third party applications that would be a hurdle. Without a transparent layer like the deprecated Rosetta, they would not be able to run existing applications and would have to explain that a new MacBook Air can't run all of the old MacBook Air applications.

Maybe if they come out with an ARM powered laptop, they will call it something other than MacBook Air to avoid that confusion.
Shameless plug, but this looks like the exact inverse of gojson[0], which generates code (struct definitions) based on sample JSON.

I originally wrote it when writing a client library to interface with a third-party API; it saves a lot of effort compared to typing out struct definitions manually, and a lot of type assertions compared to using map[string]interface{} everywhere.

What the article is doing is this:

If you cherry-pick your time periods, you can lie to people about the overall data while making individual statements that are each true or sort of close to true.

"no temperature change from 1970 to 1975!"

"no temperature change from 1980 to 1985!"

And so on. Articles like this should be deleted from Hacker News, along with the users that post them.
What is wrong with that lifestyle?
Here are a few thoughts, some people may disagree with me, but you're new, so you don't get to be one of them.

1) Use git. Go create an account on github and use that. If you don't know how to use git, there's a tutorial at http://try.github.io/

2) Do all of your development on your local machine. That means that your local machine should be able to run your site.

3) Try to make your deployment process as simple as possible. Since it sounds like your site is small, you can probably get away with pulling the new code and restarting your web server. Total downtime should only be a few seconds. You can make it more complex as you get your feet under you.

Harry? He might selectively tell the truth but pretty much always refuses an outright lie. With the exception of a few times after the azkaban sequence.
Asking because I don't understand the thought process involved in these posts. Are you purposely choosing to ignore things like the first graph that shows more than 60% (almost 80%) of people having a net negative change in income over the last 30 years or just not understanding what that graph means?
Yes, I love simple :)
Always good to hear good calm advice from somebody I know and respect, Will. I admit I make tons of mistakes (and also would never start anything if I always "thought it through"). But I still really don't like what the original poster presented.
I'd been thinking about buying Arq for the last month or so, thank you for posting this link, it made buying Arq a no brainer.

How come it isn't advertised anywhere on their site or blog? I checked for one this morning!
The real challenge will be figuring out the compatibility question for third-party software. Do you make everybody recompile before their stuff works on the new hardware? Do you ship an emulator for x86-64 for a while, like they did when they went PPC->Intel?

OS X and its predecessors have already been ported to run on a bunch of architectures: x86-64, i386, PPC64, PPC32, PA-RISC, SPARC, and Motorola 68k. All, or nearly all, of the CPU-dependent parts of the OS are the parts that are shared between OS X and iOS. Making OS X run on ARM would be trivial for Apple, and I'd be shocked if they didn't have it up and running already as a hedge.
Hey this is awesome. I'd love an artificial intelligence path. Also, is there a way for me to incorporate courses that I've completed from coursera and udacity into your site? That'd be great for having a one shot glance at what I've done.

Great project though!
If so, you're lying, but I don't think there is any "moral wallpaper" here, it's simply letting a kid sleep at night.

If the reasoning starts with "This lie is OK because..." you're using the fact it's easy to argue that the lie was moral to extinguish the weight typically associated with lying.

The reasoning here is based on the idea the child is really asking is if there are monsters under the bed/in the closet/down the street. You lie because the truth wouldn't be reassuring, because they can't handle the complexities of the answer "Anything can happen, but the chances are infinitesimally small if you stay out if international waters."

So, are you making bad analogies or do you consider your clients children that couldn't handle the idea you're selling a complex product? It's fine if you do, people can be real dumb sometimes, I won't mind.

It just seems like you're trying to build yourself a cozy little nest between the "truth" and "lying" that extends beyond genuine misunderstandings. The weight of a lie exists on a scale. I do lie to children, but don't consider it not lying, I just don't worry about it too much. I do tend to believe in telling less "white lies" to children than is typical but that's a tangent.

Descent 3 came out a few months earlier, and also had no software renderer.
At first I thought you were joking, but then I realized that's actually a really good question.

It'd be interesting to see a breakdown that took the top 1% of successively smaller chunks until we see just how small we can get until the chart starts to flatten out. But then again, maybe the author has already done that and just didn't feel it was important to mention. Maybe 0.01% is the point at which the disparity stops being so gigantic. E.g. the difference between the 0.001% and the 0.01% is not nearly as stark as the difference between the 0.01% and the 0.1% like we see on that second chart.
Intel released a P4 @ 3.73GHz in 2004, and the i7-4771 is "only" 3.9GHz in single core mode (i.e. turbo), so that's only a slight increase in clock in the last decade.

Sooner or later mobile processors are going to hit the power wall. I haven't looked into this lately but one thing that could provide a fixed and permanent benefit to mobile processors is the more modern instruction set.

Alexis Ohanian: Sucking is the First Step to Being Sorta Good at Something
The defects you point to are real, but it sounds like you're speaking to us from 2008.

Have you spent any time looking at Clojurescript and David Nolen's work; React; Chrome dev tools; LightTable's integration with the browser; Atom; etc? Smart people are doing smart stuff.

One other point I wanted to mention: I've worked with other UI frameworks for developing what you call "serious" applications, such as MFC, Windows Presentation Framework, QT, and others.

The web may suck, but all those options completely, also, sucked. Nobody knows how to build UIs yet.
5 acres per person seems like a lot of space to me, but if you take into account how much of the earth's surface area is uninhabitable or at least difficult to inhabit there's probably a lot less practical space per person.

Knowing my luck my 5 sq mi would be in the middle of the Sahara or one of the Cook Islands or somewhere 6 zillion miles from anywhere else. :)
No event so far, but the law is in place, meaning there is no clear definition if someone publishes on the internet is he/she a journalist. Some may use bullets that you offend head of the state, president or "blasphemy". Better off in a country which doesn't have any tools at all.

Over the years there was this notion that US is a role model of democracy and freedom which is a joke especially in a context of recent news.
The article is about the possibility that the NSA could be bribing Huawei engineers or infiltrating Huawei with spies. Either way, it requires Huawei employees to be complicit, and for the Huawei support infrastructure to be compromised.
Does anyone know who "Peter" is? I liked his advice and was really interested to see what else he's invested in, so I looked on CrunchBase, AngelList, Posse's website, etc. but I can't track down a Posse angel investor named Peter. I kind of hope this article about telling the whole truth even if it makes you vulnerable isn't using a pseudonym for the investor.

Iceland is relatively free of censorship. There are a couple of IP numbers filtered by way of court order (hosted images of minors in compromising positions), but sadly those filters have collateral damage (shared hosting sites on same IPs). Interior Ministry is in awe of the results in the UK and wants to do the same. Resistance to the ideas is pretty high since the general population has a pretty good idea of the entailments. (side note: a popular Icelandic blog and news aggregator, eyjan.is is blocked by the UK porn filters, bit of an irony really).

This is happening because all numbers in JavaScript are IEEE 754 [0] double. +/-infinite may be returned for finite, non zero number divided by zero. This is also common behavior in many other languages with support for IEEE 754 floats, from the top of my head: JVM, .NET languages and Haskell do so too.

I have not come across anything that was censored by my ISP in anyway. Only one such case was cited on Wikipedia, were Verizon blocked text messages due to a violation of ToS.

Could you provide any more information on ISPs blocking content?
Look at the 1Password database files. They appear to be JSON, with no integrity mechanism, with many unencrypted fields. I have to wonder if the clients handle this data safely, and why they choose to encrypt only certain fields. It doesn't give me a lot of confidence.

Announcing Wicked Good Ruby Conf 2014
I think "Ruby outshines Python" is a matter of great debate, and I wouldn't say that one is universally better than the other, rather it depends on your application and personal preferences! I am the author of the path, and before we started building SlideRule, we evaluated Django/Python vs Ruby/Rails briefly .. I am a big fan of python, so the choice was obvious for me :-)

That said, this is just one web-dev path and doesn't in any way claim that Python is superior to the alternatives. There can be so many more - on RoR, Node or even more recent ones like scala .. hope experts will help us build those. If you are interested, please write to us at contact@mysliderule.com!
It's apparently fairly hard to find up to date information on this, but your $250k figure is definitely too low; it might have been accurate 6-7 years ago. Everything I can find cites a number which is at least $350k and sometimes over $500k (http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/10/about-that-99-p...).

These numbers, of course, are the bare minimum for inclusion in this category. By definition, nearly everybody in the 1% makes more than this.
I am not sure whether it is still the case, but the Scala compiler used to have a dependency on Swing. The reason was that one of the potent -Y flags gave you access to an AST browser after the phase of your choice. Very convenient tool for compiler plugin developers, but a questionable dependency for most.

(Edit: seems to have been taken away at least as of 2.10)
What happens if I open up a live .php file and just paste new working code and hit "Save"? What happens on the end user-side if I do that? Furthermore, I'm with DO and I don't think I've ever rebooted my virtual server.
I don't think the cost is necessarily negligible.

If the system is setup in such a way that there are those who benefit from every trade, skimming fractions of a percent per trade, those add up. They are effectively shrinking the market capitalization of that stock... and over a long period of time that could be significant.

If a stock's losses to this are in the range of 3% per year, over a 25 year period the stock will lose 50% of it's market cap from this activity.

That's fairly significant.
fair enough.. I didn't realize there was a good solution to pre-warm yourself but I suppose it makes sense that it should be possible. My intention with the comment was to point out that we're not comparing apples with apples when it comes to flexibility of the core infrastructure.. and load balancing is about as core as it gets.

Both platforms have features that the other doesn't have for example GCE has Persistent Disks that can be connected to multiple VMs. Amazon has ElastiCache and a DNS service, etc
A Roth is a better deal than post tax investing. It's not either or depending on income.

The advantage of a Roth is that you control it and it isn't in expensive employer controlled funds. I say max out your Roth and then max out your 401k. If your spouse works, max out their Roth IRA as well.

Definitely take advantage of any tax incentives being offered over post tax investing.

edit
I misread. I would take the employer offered 401k with the 17.5k contribution limit. Get the money out there earning for you.

You can do your own Roth IRA. That is what I am talking about doing separate from your employer. I would max that out first assuming the funds are better.

I prefer today dollars (401k) over future dollars (Roth) so the 401k is more attractive to me modulo terrible fund selection.
edit
> 1) The composition of the 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%, etc. never changes -- not in generations. I.e. there's an entrenched aristocracy.

Leave 1% out of this. Any couple making 150k each fits in that. That means anyone with a college degree, 15-20 years of experience, and senior managerial position. Also included in this are doctors, lawyers, and engineers. There is a lot to be said about mobility and meritocracy but I don't think you get to be a senior engineer or doctor solely because your parents were.
As Thomas is not sure what I'm "trying to say here that" his "comment doesn't already say," he actually wrote: "All extended_random_value does is add, to the random_bytes value in the TLS handshake, another variable-length blob of random data."

It sounds smallish "just another random-data blob." It's actually huge "up to additional 65365 bytes from the generator added to the default 28" before the encryption even starts.

Thomas also wrote "The ostensible idea behind the extension is that there are protocols that want randomness proportional to key sizes."

The biggest ECC key is 571 bits which fit in just 72 bytes and this thing provides up to 65535 bytes. Again, fully different impression. I quoted the draft to show the actual number. The numbers matter here. Hadn't I looked at the draft directly, I'd get the fully different impression only reading Thomas' comment.
I believe the answer is no, but that's irrelevant. You could grant permission on the dummy account and then share the folder with your real account so it would show up.
Hey, sounds fantastic to me too. I don't know what these other weirdos are looking for. ;)
"A Leader will make the Team Members goals align with their own."

What if one of my goals is to earn a competitive salary and the leader's goal is to avoid paying me more? What if my goal is to have a life outside the company and not to have my life revolve around the company and its "culture" and its "community"? Why should the employees' goals change to meet the company's needs and not vice versa?

It sounds like this whole article is about how to trick gullible employees into accepting a smaller salary than they could get by moving to the company across the street.
In the iPhone definitely. For the iPad, it already has more than adequate battery life (most people get several days use out of one before needing to recharge), so the extra clock speed could be used to handle multiple apps on-screen simultaneously (for example).

You are right, Nick. Rails is more mature in the number of resources available and its dev-community. But increasingly around me, I see more people starting to build on python. I have seen tons of learning material and bootcamps on RoR but not even a fraction of that on Python/Django . That was one of the reasons we thought that documenting our learning would be useful!
I personally believe (and studies have backed this up) that a more equal society is better for everyone. So I have a problem when people earn money excessively (I'll leave the definition of that until I have had time to think about it. in some cases it is obvious).

Are they doomed?

I've waited a few years for the HTML5 app platform future to arrive and I've realized two things. First, it isn't happening, at most someone is going to build a new app platform partly out of old bits and pieces and that will have questionable uptake. Second, as far as we do get there the result will still not be clearly better than "native apps."

So I am not waiting for the HTML5 future to save us all from native apps any more.
Oh, I should have clarified. I was thinking of Roth 401(k) vs Traditional 401(k).

I do have a Roth IRA because there are income limits for the tax deduction from a Traditional IRA. And as you say, any tax-advantage is worthwhile.
Compiling a vanilla kernel on x86 hardware is one thing, building an ARM kernel is quite another in terms of performance, or at least that's been my experience.

To give you an idea of how bad the difference is, to compile the Linux kernel in defconfig, using 2 distcc boxes each with AMD FX8320 3.5ghz (8 core) + 32gb ram + 1gb LAN. The x86 stuff boot off RAID1+0, the the PI obviously off its sdcard, here's what happens:

* Compile for armv6 on pi host + distcc compile farm: 19 min 11 sec
* Compile for armv6 on qemu host + distcc compile farm: 29 min 36 sec
* Compile for armv6 on x86_64 hardware + cross toolchain + distcc compile farm: 1 min 59 sec
* Compile for x86_64 defconfig on off-the-shelf x86_64 hardware (also fx8320) + distcc compile farm: 1 min 31 sec

That's compiling "linux-3.6.9999-raspberrypi.tar.bz2" with -j20 across the board. I realise there's a number of problems with this "test" - obviously the last two are unfair, the PIs laughable shared bandwidth across network & usb gimp it horribly. I have no idea why qemu is so bad though, I pointed it at an img taken from a running PI vOv and I've probably done a million other things wrong getting the numbers.

But to anyone intending to compile armv6 crap on a pi or qemu based compile farm: unless it's a one off thing or your time is worthless, don't do it. Invest the time getting crossdev, crosstool-ng etc + dist cc working properly. I only bothered because I was looking for a better way to build stuff for Android and used the setup as a testbed.
None really. It just inherited the C model of compilation.
