This is a really late reply, and probably futile in any case, but your comments on this subject make me think you don't actually understand "what it is that they are doing". When people try to explain it to you , you accuse them of using "obtuse industry jargon". Yet you've left them little choice.

An analogy (flawed as they all are) is if you came onto these forums and claimed that udp networks were evil and a tool whereby network consultants got rich on the back of "regular internet users". To back this up you pointed to some articles in People that claimed "Don't trust your UDP network, it might delete your traffic!" When anyone who actually understood networks said something like, "well it's nuanced, error checking is valuable in some cases and not valuable in others" you said, "DON'T MUDDY THE WATERS WITH YOUR JARGON!"

At this point, because networking is such a widely dispersed information set, and there aren't any high profile authors backing up your assertion that "UDP IS DANGEROUS IT LOSES PACKETS!" members of this forum would start down voting you into oblivion and making cogent arguments about why you are so very, very ignorant.

The only reason this hasn't happened yet is that knowledge of electronic trading systems is not as widely disseminated and every one with a 401k and a DSL modem thinks they know what electronic trading is about.

I will tell you this much, everyone who has ever actually traded electronically sees your comments and thinks of you as the "UDP is evil" guy. That we are in the minority means that we can't just laugh at and/or ignore you like we could if you were claiming nonsense about networks. For all I know you are a senator. So with that said, ask a straight forward question, I will answer it without any equivocations given that they aren't covered by IP agreements.
I think someone screwed up on the version string big time.
Can a Video Game Make You Racist? 
New study results on video games and social perception.
Fortran was not meant to be a systems programming language. The fact that it did not have memory management does actually make sense in scientific applications, where you typically know your problem size in advance or can just recompile before a day long computation.
Late to the game, sorry Watsi, #108 here. Thank you for doing this.

I'm planning to write a blog post on quote stuffing - explaining why it is dangerous for the trader and why it is easily caused by software bugs. I hope you reads it.
Like I said, artistic license taken with the caricature. Hyperbole is the soul of wit, etc.

The benefit of HN over other similar sites that shall remain nameless is a very high signal-to-noise ratio - the community tends to have interesting, meaningful, detailed conversations about specific topics. Your post was precisely the opposite of that, and it's a perfect example of this community's biggest problem, one which those of us who enjoy the community here try to combat: a pervading, cynical, nitpicking negativity, often about things completely tangential to the actual topic of discussion, that adds nothing to the conversation and serves only as a way to smugly imply how much smarter/more cultured/less douchey (the irony!) than whoever put together the link.

That's noise, not signal. It contributes nothing. Feel free to make your snide comments to yourself, but please don't bring down the quality of discussion here by using this forum to show off your nitpicking skill. If you don't feel like reading the article, then don't take over the conversation about the article with your reasons for not reading it.

I apologize for my overly heated language in my initial - I don't have anything against you personally, and my caricature was more harsh than deserved.
"I personally would donate to a campaign of someone running for office based on how they performed on issues I cared about"

The fact that OKCupid chose this particular issue to blast Firefox signifies that this is _the_ issue they care about the most. If attacking an entire brand over the personal beliefs of their CEO is warranted, then it is also more than fair to question the motivations of OKCupid's CEO who donated to a politician that holds the exact opposite beliefs of the issue OkCupid cares about the most.
I'm really excited about a low cost, quality 3D printer but:

1. How much is another spool once the kickstarter is over?

2. "In addition, when making the specification for the seamless frame of The Micro, we demanded only the best quality surface finish."

I don't understand. If the point is to be at a reasonable price point, why make a point of saying you are picky about design? I would understand print quality, but exterior design I could give a rat's ass about- a low quality printer would go into the closet or on the craft table, not proudly displayed for all.
If I play a tennis tournament and let's say I'm losing... I say to myself "You're not in the shower". This means that I still have control and can turn it around. If I'm in the shower after the match then it's over and there is nothing I can do. This is my message to myself to kick myself in the ass.
So... you aren't in the shower yet. You have control. But you need to use that control and change course. Much of life is duty, and there is great honour in duty. As I'm sure you know, the devil is in the details.
If you decide that this duty is worth doing, then you need to slap yourself in the face and do it. Your post is full of excuses but no real reasons.

Good luck.
So you want to remove rent control and exclude hundreds of thousands of people from living in the city just to make it easier for you to find good roommates.

To borrow the words of master spy Sterling Archer: Do you want anarchist protestors? Because that's how you get anarchist protestors.
FWIW, Dave Fetterman, the Facebook's former head of dev relations who helped create the Facebook developer platform (developer.facebook.com), later led mobile at Facebook and was the one who made the call to go HTML5 and then made the call to switch over to native is back working on high performance HTML5 at famo.us as VP of Engineering.

Derisking makes economic sense, but incentive stock options are mostly nontransferable. You're describing a market for shares of a privately held company, which the SEC doesn't want (except through some very specific protocols like JOBS Act crowdfunding).

Imagine you've got a script that, among other things, does a 'wget' against some innocent plain HTTP URL. But an attacker intercepts your request, and redirects you to an HTTPS URL of their choosing.

Yes, wget uses OpenSSL, and follows redirects silently by default.

Now that server uses heartbleed to x-ray your client process memory, collecting all sorts of confidential information, including perhaps credentials to other services.

This bug has a lot of nasty, unintuitive permutations and repercussions that will take time to fully grasp.
Infographic: How Electronic Music Pays Better Than Rock
Let's get one thing straight: I'll comment when I please and on whatever article I please, and there's nothing that you can do about it. Do I make myself clear?

Now, having said that, I did take a closer look at Watsi, and decided to be their 109th monthly donor. Of course, I'm just another well-to-do Western asshole, so I'm sure you'll downvote this post, too.
Reading between the lines in the announcement it sounds like dropping and reconnecting may cause it to read memory freed up from a prior connection. It may "just" be a matter of keep trying or it may be a matter of opening lots of connections to consume resources dropping them all then connecting and seeing what was left on the beach after the tide went out.

BTW Amazon AWS/ELM is vulnerable, confirmed publically by their support.
You can get a 1kg spool of PLA or ABS on Amazon for ~$30. There are also various of online distributors that carry more brands/colors.

Can't speak too much on 2, but my guess is just marketing kickstarter buzzwording.

I'm glad that you put Rutgers with the likes of Princeton et al, but it is the state university of NJ. So not everyone came from a prestigious school.
Powerful indeed. Imagine a lot of such "math demos" --- one for each equation/principle/concept in math. Instead of just the plot of a graph, you have a "toy" that you can play with.

I never knew about <input type="range" ... but will be sure to play with it.
The computer isn't like another person, and we'd really prefer to have it do what we say rather than guess what we want and act accordingly.

From the point of a view of a programmer, yes.

But isn't this kind of the division point between a "good user interface" and a programming language.

Lots of user level system are intended so the computer guesses what you want and does that.
I'm from the UK but have been staying in Australia for a little over a year now. I'm making a hardware gadget from scratch, and some of the people involved are here. I've also lived in the US for a while.

On Bloomberg I listened to an interview with the founder of Jetstar airlines, currently owned by Qantas, and who is now expanding a renewables business, who called Australia a resource exchange economy. Reading how cooks can earn $325K a year in gas projects, and noticing that the just signed Australia - Japan free trade agreement is mostly beef and agriproducts in exchange for TV's and other electronics, the sense initially is of lack of diversity in tech.

There's no way I could make my hardware project in Australia, not that I ever intended to. I haven't been able to find a single viable option for PCB manufacture. And if a company can provide them they're almost always farmed out to China in any case.

In the UK and the US, but also Europe it's just much richer in scope and size. There are some outstanding hardware facilities in the US. They're virtually non existent in Australia, at the right level of expertise and scale.
Please no one actually use this. There is no reason to trust this site with sensitive information, and there is even some evidence it may no longer be maintained (see logn's comment.)

Why Education Spending Doesn't Lead to Economic Growth
A couple of recent, interesting explorations:

Subtext (http://subtext-lang.org/) - in particular check out the video on "schematic tables," which is very immediate and direct like Excel but better for general purpose.

Some of Bret Victor's work:
Inventing on principle (http://vimeo.com/36579366)
Media for the Unthinkable (http://worrydream.com/MediaForThinkingTheUnthinkable/)
He has a lot of examples of similar interfaces for more domains than just what Excel is good at.

Another example, although much less so, is Unity's editor- property editing and level editing are very immediate and visual even for things like behavior.
The difference between tubes and basic transistor amps is very noticeable if you know what to listen for, especially when they're used at volumes loud enough to cause distortion, and this is definitely measurable scientifically.

Some people do like the fuzzier, "warmer" sound (the hum is part of that) that tubes have.
But that's not an appeal to authority, really, is it? That's your relying on an authority to inform yourself, rather than pointing to authority as why others should believe what you do. These strike me as subtly different, though there's clearly some overlap in considerations...
I have found that the TI-83 series handles numbers remarkably better than many programming languages and even software packages. The built-in functions are diverse, composable, and very powerful, yet simultaneously simple to use. When I want to answer e.g., a statistics question, it's a huge time saver to plug it into the graphing calculator rather than anything else. I often prefer it even to WolframAlpha. In that respect it's well worth the $100 or so it cost.
I'd wager the vast majority of folks on the internet don't even know what a participatory mailing list is. And I say that as someone who has been a part of multiple lists for nearly 20 years.
Why? Is biking particularly dangerous? Shouldn't the bikers themselves have insurance like drivers do?
Gainesville isn't appealing for everyone. For some just as a city [the former "Hogtown"], for others perhaps because of the continued exposure to obnoxious sports rivalries typical in the Southeast.

It can even come down to which fraction of one's graduating class is attending which school and other factors which often disappear once people actually get to university.
Well, I'll admit that a rather debatable claim. But article provides reasonably good backup for that claim using the tools of professional user interface design, a field that has become a lot more systematic in recent years. Towards the end of the article, he describes a number of metric which can be used in measurement of programming languages as task-accomplishment tools.
In situations where accusations of widespread corruption, misconduct, unethical action, etc are made, a phrase that is often trotted out in defense of the accused is "just a few bad apples". It's not WhereEver Police Department that has an issue with racial bias and violent escalation, it's just a few bad apples. Our school district does not have a bullying problem, it's just a few bad apples. Etc.

What is interesting about this cliched defense is that it is actually a malformed statement of the original cliche, "A few bad apples spoil the barrel."

The original cliche refers to a phenomenon where overripe or rotten apples release ethylene gas, which is a ripening agent. This ethylene gas will accelerate the ripening/rot of nearby apples. If you are not vigilant in weeding out the bad apples, the rot will rapidly spread and soon there will be no good apples left to rescue.

Human "bad apples" don't release ethylene gas, but they corrupt their peers nevertheless. When a good cop backs the cover story of his corrupt cop partner, he becomes a bad cop as well. When prosecutors take up arms in defense of their corrupt prosecutor peers, they become no better than the initially targeted. If school administrators allow a bully to have his way for too long, then everybody else sees that they can get away with it too and before long you have daily fistfights behind the school at the end of the day.

Institutions that have had widespread unchallenged corruption for decades rarely need keyhole surgery, they need amputations.
That paper is extremely fascinating, thanks for sharing.

As an aside, I'm reasonably sure that GCC can use SIMD instructions for certain bulk memory operations in certain circumstances if you feed it the right -march= parameters... I don't think it's as clever as the techniques in this paper, however.
Right, I understand your logic. Thanks.
That is good news, I downloaded it to have a look. A couple of suggestions.

First, try to use Linux friendly names in your directories, that means no spaces, no special characters. While its possible to navigate to

Logic\ 1.1.18\ \(64-bit\)

It really is a pain for shell users. May I suggest logic_1.1.18_amd64/ which not only communicates its the 1.1.18 version but also tells you it for the 64 bit x86 architecture. the 32 bit version could be x86.

Second the text files you include would ideally have newlines (\n) every 80 or so characters rather than the one long line ending with an ^M which is popular in Windows text tools.

The SDK could use man pages for Linux users, but I appreciate that the API is pretty simple, PIO or stream, but I'm a bit unclear if there is device support for triggering? Or is that something the software is expected to do?
"Signed vs. unsigned, with the same width, provides the same number of unique values. Just different values. So that wouldn't help."

Unless you had been reserving negative values to mark errors when returning ids, in which case making use of that top bit as id space lets you double the number of ids. Of course, you could still treat it as signed or unsigned... it's just a possibly related issue.
Makes sense, traffic congestion varies.
Between Brendan Eich and Kevin Rose, SF is really showing how intolerant it can be :/. Although I am just as distrusting of Google as this group claims to be, harassing individual Google employees is downright disgraceful. I can't imagine what makes them think these actions are going to help them accomplish (what I can only imagine is) their goal of more economic equality in the Bay. Trying to extort $3b from Google in exchange for not harassing Google employees is hilariously stupid, but it also does nothing to bring us closer to an actionable solution.

Cities and communities evolve naturally over time. If you go to New York today, you'll be hard-pressed to find an 'authentic' New York accent, for example. But very rarely, if ever, has a community evolved so dramatically at such a high rate as the SF Bay Area is now. In order to prevent further tension as we as a community move forward (without giving in to the crazy anarchists), the tech community needs to invest in better public transportation solutions available to everyone in the Bay, not just tech employees. We need to adjust the minimum wage in certain counties to facilitate economic growth (again) as a community, rather than focusing it exclusively on tech workers. And lastly, rent controls need to be implemented to ensure our communities maintain the diversity that have made them so awesome in the past few decades.

just my two cents.
Google Adds GeoJSON Support For Mapping Development
No, usually each manufacturer has a custom pinout for the SODIMM connector, they are not interchangeable.

For that you may want to look at the Qseven standard: http://www.qseven-standard.org/

This also gives you a bump in processing power as well, with the ability to use ARM or x86 processors. (of course it is a lot more expensive...)
I recently discovered vocalid.org thanks to a TED video[1]. They work to provide people having speech impairments with unique synthetic voices thanks to voice donors. According to their process, a voice donor need to read 2-3 hours of text to allow them to build a custom synthetic voice.

I don't know if they have any plan to open their data but if someone could find a way to increase the amount of voice donors while improving an open dataset, it would be interesting. Just a thought, they are most certainly many more issues / options in this field.

So you haven't tried it. Good deal. I wear regular fit pants and have absolutely no problem putting the phone in my pocket with plenty of room to wear.
VB6 and Pascal chiming in here, too. I think I dropped that course after a while - I was doing it via distance education because my school didn't offer any programming classes. This was some time around 2008-9.
"Get 'em while they're young" is as valid for recruiting as it is brand preferences ;)

Those interns will turn into salaried FTEs whose first three year's annual compensation – amortised signing bonus, stock grants, and performance bonus included – will be ~150k. Compared to new graduate FTEs, interns are positively cheap!

The ~6.5k, housing inclusive, perks out the wazoo also all come from highly profitable, competitive companies falling over each other to recruit from a highly constrained pool. There are only so many Stanford, MIT, and CMU graduates a year, and an even smaller number of hackathon winners, open source contributors, inveterate interns, etc. For many, this is the last time they'll ever openly be on the job market.

Ah, looks like I misread things. 17kps makes a lot more sense - 17kph is like bicycle speed.

We can create anti-matter all right, but AFAIK, that isn't the exotic matter required by an Alcubierre drive. Anti-matter could in theory be used to create the most efficient rocket drive possible, but apparently even that isn't all that great. According to this http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/images/content/84509main_w... sobering chart, even a theoretical anti-matter rocket would require 1 million kg of propellant to send a small capsule past the Centauri cluster in 900 years, without counting stopping. Going back to chemical rockets, there is apparently not enough mass in the entire universe for that rather underwhelming plan!

I don't know that FTL is out of the question, but apparently it is impossible to have it without time travel. I'm not looking for any of that to happen tomorrow, and I don't think anybody alive now has a clue when anything like that might be ruled in or out for sure, but with the right theoretical breakthrough, a lot of interesting stuff could potentially happen very fast.
Don't most of the VC funds have a limited life of 10 years? What happens to their shareholding in these sideways companies when the fund wraps up?
Rackspace guy here. We have been digging in and it appears that we did have the impacted version of openssl installed but the heartbeat extension was disabled. Regardless, we have updated everything on the Cloud Load Balancer side to 1.0.1g. I will update here if we find anything different.
The vanity of having a low number got me to consider signing up, and the joy I foresee in getting the progress emails sealed the deal. I put in $5 a month, and hope to add more when I graduate!
USAID: Our Cuban Twitter Clone Was More Popular Than Reported
Interesting site. Hope it is difficult to break into.

Does anyone know what happened with the woman who put up a post on Facebook (I think) saying that if people didn't hear back in a certain amount of time, she had last been to visit some guy? I am having a hard time finding the HN link.
I'll take my chances with one site having the list rather than open-sourcing it and having every script-kiddie dumping RAM out of all the sensitive systems of the interwebz.

auto calibration and small size/quiet etc are all things that are indeed needed for a "family" printer.

i used several printers, from hobbygrade/self assembled to makerbots etc. (nothing much above 3k tho), and they all need a lot of fiddling around even thus they're probably more powerfull (and certainly bigger/make bigger pieces)

I can't see anybody who isn't really into it to spend so much time fiddling with them. So yeah.. it looks like a good printer to me.
Hi Kyle, Wit.AI team here -- thanks for suggestion (1) :-)

Actually our typical latency is less than 0.5s if you stream audio to the API (instead of waiting until a silence, then sending a WAV file). Also, we are working on an embeddable client (you would still use Wit.AI online to train your model, but then they can run locally on your Raspberry Pi).
From Wembley to Web Standards *why musicians should learn to code
yeah i've got a few apps like that as well. I've updated some, and kept some that are more popular. Not sure what I'll do with a bigger phone. we'll see how they look I guess. Not sure if the work is better spent updating old apps or making new ones.
