Read the docs? Their API is C based so it's not necessarily as easy as a Node.js or Ruby programmer might be used to.

They do have a P2P chat program built on-top of it so you can use that as an example and I think someone did their thesis on building a "facebook for GNUnet" on an older version. Not sure if that code is public though (it most likely is, I just don't know where).

The way I see it, arrays and binaries start a 0 because they represent an offset. Others start at 1 because they represent a position (first, second, third, ...) instead.

For the function and argument orders, there's no explanation for that one.

Erlang strings are a whole other subject, for which I recommend you give an eye to this blog post for the rationale behind a lot of their behavior: https://medium.com/functional-erlang/7588daad8f05 . It's a decent read on the topic.
I am unsure why you say, "not backed by any kind of knowledge of the subjects" -- is it because his PhD is in Psychology and not Biology/Medicine?

Why We Didn't Sell Our Startup
Right, but distributed systems are solved problem at this point, anonymity is much harder, and GNUnet's primary model is distributed / mesh darknets as a foundation for some of their anonymity features.
The Lucas Critique basically just says that if you want to use broad correlations, you should make sure that the microfoundations which drive those correlations still apply.

Unfortunately the relation of r to g tells us very little about meritocratic goals. Suppose that the growth rate r is driven entirely by startup founders building gigantic companies (or lotteries, which would be mathematically equivalent), which cease growing after the founder dies. Then you could have r be huge, inequality would be huge, and everything would be entirely meritocratic.

Ultra Ever Dry (http://dry.technology/index.html) has been around for a while now. It is pretty remarkable.

The only downside is that it needs to be reapplied (and it cannot be used on windows). It wears off at a rate depending on how much abuse it takes - anything rubbing on it will hasten its decline.

It is actually positive - earned media, essentially for free. Amazing job by Nissan marketers.

Also it's indicative of something if people are building businesses to scrape something they could offer as a pay-for API that many people would gladly / happily pay lots of money for. The arguments for NOT doing that are ridiculous because people will get the data regardless.

I think you have a warped sense of what "politically correct" means. Just based on how many times I've seen misuse of the term from friends and people on the internet, I give it 90% odds that you're a Republican. :)
Due to ICANN's new policies if you report incorrect or inaccurate whois data the registrar is forced to investigate and potentially pull the registration(s).

The whois inaccuracy complaint form can be found here;
https://forms.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/complaints/w...

This will probably force the problem maker to go to a new registrar and also pay for privacy protection next time; at least you are increasing his costs.

You could also engage in a UDRP complaint if dsploit is a trademark; unregistered trademarks are harder to defend however.
The important thing is to know if it breaks the adsense TOS. Does it?
I actually came to the comments just to talk about this. Not the flip-flop in the article you're pointing out, but I've often wonder when the switch happened in general. Old articles and even TV[1] will use Internet without the definite article. Then, sometime in the mid-late 90's, we started placing 'The' out in front.

My guess would be that techies originally did not use the definite article because other networks existed and had their own names. FidoNet, BITNET, etc. Thus 'Internet' was just a name to distinguish between other networks. Then, as the mainstream population started using Internet and saw that as the sole go-to network, it became 'The' Internet.

I don't understand why the detractors don't understand this. Many people (including some commenters here) seem to think that the technology is useless unless it can handle all possible situations.

Auto-drive on long highway sections would be an amazing improvement by itself and prevent all kinds of fatigue related accidents. The cars could just announce ("Driver, take control") as they exit the highway system.

Hell, trucking companies could just have drivers waiting at highway exits to do the last-mile driving, the long-haul sections of trucking wouldn't require a person on-board.

I don't think it would be unfeasible to install beacons designed to aid driverless vehicles either, especially on highways where things don't change very quickly. Simple posts with machine-readable signalling (visual/radio/whatever). Most signage is designed for human recognition, but I bet it wouldn't be impossible/terribly expensive to install signage designed for automated driving.
For instance, there is very little in the toolchain about debugging other than "use GDB". For someone very familiar with the workflow of typing "debugger" in Javascript code, being able to stop the world at any state, examine variables, and having a fully-functional REPL to test expressions,

Use cgdb for a nicer interface. Also, you can examine variables and set break points in gdb. Instead of a REPL, you can try out expressions in main(). Your workflow has to change, so if that's a deal-breaker, it is what it is. But if you can change, there are some advantages to be gained.
Aside from the benefits other people have mentioned, it also gives us a much better understanding of how to deflect asteroids that might impact Earth.

Andrew Warner on Bullshit Free Entrepreneurship
Interestingly, even though the top answer has 1337 upvotes, it appears none of those people checked whether the answer actually works. Either that, or Mathematica's algorithms have changed since Jan 2012.

Another commenter got me curious about just how hand-tuned the answer was, so I fired up Mathematica 8 and put their solution in. I had to dig up the original image using Wayback Machine (thanks, archive.org!) but then, to my surprise, their answer didn't actually work. It merely darkened the image uniformly, meaning it wasn't able to find any potential Waldos.

I fiddled around with their solution for a bit, and then finally just hooked their parameter up to a slider. I thought maybe the "level" parameter just needed a bit of tweaking. But surprisingly, it still doesn't work as advertised: http://i.imgur.com/XWNTvYU.jpg

Their "level" parameter was originally 0.12, but like I said, that didn't work at all. It doesn't work until the parameter is bumped up to 0.18, at which point it gives the wrong solution (the lower-left circle). Then, 0.19 gives another incorrect solution (the lower-right circle). Finally, 0.20 identifies Waldo.

So this solution is a nice way to filter out potential targets, but I wish I could figure out whether the original poster was being shady or whether Mathematica's internals changed since they posted their answer. I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, but that has me burning with curiosity about what exactly must've changed in Mathematica's implementation.

EDIT: I didn't do the most basic of checks: to make sure I didn't introduce any changes in the original experiment. It turns out by rehosting the image on imgur, it compressed the resulting image, introducing artifacts into the color channel. Their solution no longer worked as advertised due to this. That shows how brittle the solution is, though! I wonder if we can make it more robust without fundamentally rewriting it?

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

The guy knows exactly what he is doing, there's really no chance they would stop it on your request.

The best way to tackle these problems is try and find copyright material of yours on his site, then keep issuing DMCA requests to his webhosts. We had someone copying large parts of our site in a similar fashion for similar purposes, it was a lot less effort for us to issue DMCA's and have his hosting accounts suspended than it was for him to keep signing up for new ones. It was a game of whack-a-mole but it worked in the end.

Trying to engage with them is often a complete waste of time, they will often be irrational and defensive which is infuriating. If you goad them into going into the offensive you are not going to come off well.

If you must communication with these people, I think it's best to keep tone neutral (not defensive or offensive), dry, entirely non personal (sign just with your company name, not an employees name) and concise. Replies should be well spaced so it appears a matter of non-urgency. Replies should also be designed to make response difficult (not keeping an open ended conversation going). Keep it as boring as possible for them. Unfortunately your first email to the person went straight into offensive mode, was personal, impassioned and appears urgent. Blogging about it isn't probably going to help either.

If he's not actually stealing anything from you, or doing anything illegal then there's not much you can do. Best course of action would be try not to care at all, and realise that he's probably actually not making any money at all. I'm not saying this to make you feel better, I strongly suspect it's the truth.

I do think it was a mistake not registering .org, a major TLD. As I understand it, changing domain ownership by force is a lengthy process. It would of just been easier to pay $10 a year for it.

If you want to be in a better position to protect yourself in the future consider a trademark.
DHH is implicitly arguing against design of software.

Rails, as a brand, advocates YAGNI over design. Everything must fit into the tight containers of model/controller/view, or You're Doing It Wrong. You have to remember that Rails was created as the anti-J2EE where High Design was the order of the day. Given these leanings, DHH is extremely sensitive to letting other abstractions sneak in. He doesn't want to pollute the idea of simple design in Rails.

Rails tries to squeak by as Good Enough (like everything else web-based) design for many apps, and it succeeds there. Problems arise when you start developing a sense for design that exceeds the myopic view of Rails.

As much as Rails is made for programmer-happiness, I find it really dull. I get the feeling I'm more filling holes in DHH's playground than actually writing software. But it makes sense; as a tool, it's designed to remove lots of choice to prevent the 'unspeakable horrors' of people putting code wherever the want.

In a way, it's like Java: by taking choices off the table, you can guide newer developers to not create abominations. But it also hinders more experienced developers from creating software with abstractions/architecture that fits like a glove. Worse, it also indoctrinates inexperienced developers to systematically denigrate design and architecture because they've been trained to outsource it to a framework written by 'really smart' people. (The intellectual deference at work here is staggering; I can only assume heavy marketing helps.)

I see where you're coming from, totally. I personally have moved to thinking about writing tests concurrently. That is, maybe a bit before, maybe a bit after, but as a first-class development effort worthy of "real" developer time and not a half-assed afterthought that is delegated to "lesser" team members.

I don't throw around looks of disgust or shame people, but I insist that in 2014, if you don't have meaningful test automation, you don't have much credibility.

Not quite black-hat; I consider tiered link building to be more blackhat.

Scraping the search results was about getting data on where items were positioned in the index, not pumping spam into the search results. Although to be clear, I did help do stuff like that for a while too but it never felt good and we vastly preferred the rank tracking product to link building services.

Also, Google's getting extremely good at combating search spam.

(Disclaimer: I had a fair share of sucker punches with self-cleaning surfaces..)

Approaches towards self cleaning surfaces have been seen in the lab since a long, long time: They range from photocatalytic concepts (e.g. TiO2/SiO2/polymer hybrid coatings for house paint) to surfaces with a mixture of -OH/-CH3/-F (hydro-/lipophilic and mostly repellent) end groups that can be produces by plasma treatment, and many more.

There is a good reason that very little of these applications have ended up in mass production: The stability and durability of the film surfaces. Once you get a surface structure damage on, say, your "lotus effect functionalized" bathtub, house wall, car body, dirt starts to accumulate on this spot. The german car industry had quite a bunch of projects with car windows without front wipers (minimum speed 20 km/h to be effective), there have been a lot of projects for self cleaning house paints using the sun - but so far there is no effective product on the market. But of course there are a lot of patents..

I have no idea if Nissan found a way to make a cost effective, self cleansing film coating that can stand the test of gravel, acid, and time. If they succeeded, then it is a true accomplishment. But for the reasons listed above, I somehow doubt that.

> Certainly it's crummy and dishonest

For those of us who are less familiar with dsploit, can you explain why it's crummy and dishonest? All I know about it I got from reading the project's summary just now. Ostensibly, it's a penetration testing tool. Penetration testing is a legitimate and necessary part of security auditing.

Can the tools and knowledge of the security industry be exploited by malicious attackers? Of course it can. But as the theory goes, blackhats are going to use the best available attacks regardless of whether whitehats publicize their tools and knowledge. Thus, it's better for legitimate developers to learn how to penetration test, share their tools, and spread knowledge of the exploits far and wide, so that legitimate developers the world over may know their enemy and better defend against attacks.

Is there reason to believe dsploit is anything more nefarious than a legitimate penetration testing tool?
