yes, but now, in new versions, by fixing things little by little, they will have great headlines: Lower data usage because we intern key-names or we compress data, Better performance because we don't mmap anymore.

But they also had bad-headlines: By default, we now save stuff to disk(safe-writes) so performance will suck a little.

Why do you make a live HTML5 editor using Node.js but you don't make it work online? I think it would be much awesome and useful if it worked online and you could embed it on any website.

I was thinking on real time examples where you could play around with the code to learn how stuff works. It would be great for learning how to code or for explaining how a library works.

I don't think any current locks prevent clearing the device for resale, which is the main thing needed by thieves. An iPhone, for example, you just hold down power and home and connect to iTunes in recovery mode.

Apple may in the future decide to do this, but I don't think any other OEMs could. They all have romance the carriers to get into stores and the carriers want good serviceability since the way you make money at places like AT&T is by cutting costs down to the bone. More unrepairable, unrefurbishable devices that need to be replaced with new units causes the opposite.
Many recommendation services rank contents based on its actual content relevance (not just on likes/retweets). For instance, Prismatic (http://getprismatic.com) used clustering to group contents of similar topics, which does pairwise comparison between documents (as you mentioned).

The parent shouldn't be downvoted, as it is exactly true. Hypocritical even in its two sentences, but true. It is fashionable to look away, and necessary for our own health and progress in medicine to do these things, but that doesn't make it anything other than what it is.

However, what happens within the scientific community is a drop in the ocean of what happens on farms and in the wild.

If you feel strongly about animal suffering, then the following are logical things to advocate and aid:

1) Veganism, now that we are at a point in our mastery of agriculture at which this is a viable choice if everyone made it.

2) Tissue engineered meat and other animal products, made without any form of suffering.

3) Simulational approaches to animal research. Ultimately animals will be sacrificed only for calibration, at rates far lower than is presently the case.

4) The removal of all natural wildlife, to be replaced by managed systems in which there is no death or violence, only the simulation of it.

Obviously these, especially (4), are long term projects. They are not impossible, but will require progressively greater levels of technology in the order in which they are presented. If you think they are valuable, you should help these causes.

The Hedonistic Imperative is an interesting set of ideas to look into with regards to (4). [1]

Book Depository is a weird thing; for a couple of years, I was unable to buy books there, because they had met some kind of weird quota for my country. Wonder what was up with that, but I assume it has to do with some tax-dodging deal in Jersey or wherever they're based.
This is a good demonstration why security and privacy are hard. Just think about it for a second: Load on the CPU affects the clock and you can measure this clock skew remotely. There are so many possible interactions in a modern computer (and even more you're unaware of) and it looks like every single one of them has to be considered a side channel.
The point is that there is a direct transliteration available between cyrillic and latin, and it's also not so culture-dependent as 617.cn is. You could trivially automate that process too.
The point is that Apple's poor behavior barely registers on the scale by comparison to Samsung's, so the truth is not balanced. That is why the article doesn't bother to mention these things.

You would like to make the claim that they are both as bad as each other because that way Samsung doesn't look as bad as it really is. That's why you are calling for this 'balance'.

Homebrew's openssh formula include a patch for Keychain support:

$ brew info openssh
openssh: stable 6.6p1
...
==> Options
--with-keychain-support
Add native OS X Keychain and Launch Daemon support to ssh-agent
--with-ldns
Build with lens support

Perhaps you could add the notification patch to Homebrew's openssh and get the best of both worlds?
1. Switch to technical sales (typically you get a bonus based on the sales quota; downside is you travel a lot)

2. Post your resume and ask for 15k more

3. If you're not in the SF Bay Area, move there but note your cost of living will probably go up by 20k so you need to ask for $35k more than you currently make.

4. If you're in the SF Bay Area, see if your company will let you work remotely, and move to a state that has no income tax.

5. Marry/Date up (lawyer, doctor, programmer, executive :-)
China's GDP has grown 7% or more every year since 1991. It had an impressive economic record before that as well. You can read gloomy articles like this going back to 1949. In that time, China has become the second largest economy in the world. I was reading articles like this a decade ago, I was reading articles like this two decades ago. People have been saying the sky is falling since 1949. Despite all of that, China's GDP will probably grow 7% this year, as well as 7% next year.
Except libertarians most people do, as long as they're "their" bureaucrats.
"17" prounces yiqi, in Chinese it sounds like "一起", "together",

Great nice :)
I don't see what this paper is contributing other than the assertion that a physical system needs to functorially agree with the mathematical model that represents it. And that if that model is Turing complete, or represents some useful subset of computational functionality, then the physical system "computes." The fact that a sitting rock does nothing but sit is a perfectly fine, albeit severely limited, computational system (it even satisfies their definition of a computing physical system!). All of this just seems...obvious.

It looks like their definitions are so general that they don't answer their own questions, which by their main motivations (section XI) are fundamentally problems of construction and scale. It's not enough that there exists a theory that proves your physical system computes, you have to know the representation explicitly and be able to scale the system arbitrarily. [Edit:] The problem being that this doesn't show up in their actual definitions.

Maybe I'm reading it too shallowly, though. Can someone who's more well-versed in the background of this paper explain it better? It also doesn't help my confidence that they seem to completely ignore the rest of computer science (mentioning Turing machines only as an aside, and as part of a false assertion about (quantum) Turing machines being the only universal logical systems).
Create a presentation on what non-technical founders need to know about programming, before they start a start up. Promote this webinar via facebook ads and make it 30 minutes long and packed full of super useful stuff. Then at the end point them to your blog with lots of helpful resources. Finally, mention that you are available for one on one coaching, for a select group of people (and have a web form using stripe ready for taking payment in exchange for scheduling a one-on-one call with you). Offer a money back guarantee as long as they demonstrate that they did the action items you suggested.

This will be way easier than building a SaaS app. Trust me.

EDIT: No idea why this is getting downvoted. Any insight would be appreciated.
>If the typical American isn't prospering, what good is it?

Well, neither is the typical Swede. They have an astronomical housing bubble that's just waiting to burst, the average household has a debt around twice the income, while the gap between rich and poor has been widening for a long time now.

It's not all roses and relative to where they are, most seem to be preparing for worse days ahead, rather than better ones.

No media behaves anything like what you are calling for. Yes, this would be ideal, but it is so meaningless to call for it in the context of a single article that it is effectively a straw man.

What we currently live with is media either painting a realistic picture, or not. In this case it is realistic.
The author of the article only forgot a little detail.. the population size and the urbanization phenomena...

Only when this stop to happen, we will be able to see the real size of the china economy.. not to mention the "last drop", when they will push efficiency into the engines, to get a little more expansion.. US and Japan already did both.. and til someone discover a new economical path.. nowhere to go for them..

So only china and the emergents will be able to grow right now, under the old economical gears..

(not to mention that nobody is making more babies anyway to fill the void)
I dunno, I think It's actually more much of a waste of time and money to write functioning code than to put real old-timey horse saddles from the Wild West on Dances with Wolves. It's far better to bank on suspension of disbelief.
I'm pretty sure that any competent tor hidden service operator will know not to run anything else on the same hardware. It's basic OPSEC that you want your sensitive Tor-connected machine to only make/accept connections through Tor.
You'll get paid a lot more in person. Go to local tech meetups. Many already have a who's looking/who's hiring announcement at the end any many others will let you take the podium for a minute to ask, not to mention the person to person networking afterword eating and the like.

> Try and explain to the average user why URLs on HN look like this:

Easy. All most people need to get out of that is the fact that there's a domain name there, and something to make each page unique. I suspect most people would also quickly recognize that each page has it's own number, similar to street addresses or the serial number found on just about everything these days.

They don't have to actually parse it as a query string. The fact that some URLs reveal a lot more information (like your CNN example) is a bonus.

> Remember: Most users barely understand, if at all, what a browser is!

Remember: 14% of adults[1] in the U.S. are illiterate.

Nobody said that we have everything solved. That doesn't mean we should give up and pretend the problem doesn't exist by saying that "most people don't need to read".

I actually created an email alias for myself that looks like 5553423123@hotmail.com (555-... is my real phone number). My logic is: whenever I need to say my email over the phone, it's much less error prone to tell a string of numbers followed by the common domain name than spelling my real (custom) name and domain name.
Current thinking I've been privy to is that the factors in question are short-lived.

In any case, this will never turn into cross-generation blood transplants on a regular basis. The present system of medical regulation is heavily biased towards demonstrating mechanisms. If you can't explain your mechanism you are not getting approved by the FDA, or at least not until such time as everyone else in the world is already doing it and the bureaucrats are made to look bad - see the last decade of stem cell transplants for the way in which that happens.

So the attempts at therapies that result from this will likely be delivery of proteins or interference with proteins to put a thumb on the scales of metabolic machinery. At which point it lasts for the period of time in which you are getting regular injections.
You have to multiply by the chance of it working to get the expected value. It's easy to write an app or a service and just never get the customers to even break even on your time. Contracting is much more likely to pay back since you just have to complete the project and the employers has to keep their word to pay.
That and unwilling to accept immigration.
This has a nice "accidental" benefit to Google where users handle URLs less often and lean even more heavily on search to locate things on the Internet.
I would also expect a few CS students to push their homework to github nowadays, and most homework is Java.

I agree that a 128-node computer would not be called a supercomputer regardless of interconnection, my point was more the other way, that a computer without fast interconnections would still be called a cluster, and not a supercomputer regardless of the number of nodes.
Yeah, I totally agree with you. Only reason why people notice the fake code is probably because they're not paying attention to the plot.
I agree, perhaps the 35,000 most recent words would be better.
But they're not. Hyperlinks, shortcuts, or similar are. To most people, the internet is an icon on their desktop, that goes to the Google/Yahoo/Bing, with which you can search for Facebook. You're going to be hard pressed to teach this majority on the rules of parsing a URL to eek out the domain before you can even begin to teach them which domains to look out and what not to do with those unrecognized.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XACML would be one - it can be a little complicated, but if you can get over that it's quite nice and also adds the idea of an Obligation (something that must be performed on a grant/deny - for example, logging/e-mailing)

Profit makes more sense to me, because it ties into the directly proceeding line "Please take me, please calm me, please make me a zombie". Aes is clearly talking about advertising and (broadly) media here, and while the double meaning of "prophet" does contribute to the line, the surface meaning is that he's donating his brain (attention) to the Panasonic profit (from advertising).

However, that said, that page (http://rapgenius.com/Aesop-rock-basic-cable-lyrics) does need some love. You should help out! Use the "suggestions" box on individual annotations to leave things for Editors (trusted members of the community, like myself) to integrate into the existing annotations.
The clock on a CPU is actually an external crystal, but usually runs at about 100MHz. Inside the CPU, this clock is multiplied by some constant to produce a signal in the GHz range (using a phase-locked or delay-locked loop). Then the clock is distributed across the die with a large number of buffers called a clock tree.

I suspect the measured skew comes from those on-die components that can't easily be placed outside the package.
Agreed. libcurl may be broken, or it may be that there's a some default that's been compiled in that does weird things like try IPv6 DNS or... something weird. Could be that a simple options flag when initializing the library might fix the problem, and you have the benefit of using a well-used and well-tested library rather than your own likely-buggy code.
Far too little detail in this post.. e.g. how was the application handling the curl callbacks? I fixed one app that used repeated strcat() calls (which was never correct.. it was also handling binary data)

Would be nice if OP profiled his new code vs. his old code, though I'm guessing libcurl isn't the issue even without seeing profiling results
A lot of these things are obvious just by looking. For example, "Slab serif typefaces are known for their distinct personality." Well, look at the two slab serif fonts in the example he gives you. You can see the letters have big exaggerated lines on the ends - the Ts have things coming off the top left and right and bottom center. These are the serifs and they are very large an decorative. His example has two fonts that have these serifs that are large and decorative and then the serifs for each are different. So it is kind of weird just looking at it. Oh, this T has a lot of decoration! But wait, that T over there has different decoration. It just feels weird on the eyes.
I think it's safe to say that most projects on github are libraries and snippets, not finished products. Not even Ruby shops push all of their actual work to github. But at least there is a culture of sharing libraries, which drives the Ruby % up, and I don't see this happening a lot with C.

Perhaps that's because the chart's axis is specifically for "Desktop web traffic"? It'd be a face-palm-worthy case of lying with statistics if true, but all the charts I can see from Chitika specify that they only use "desktop-based" web traffic. You can't help but wonder...

And even then, the ease of installing linux on a Chromebook might confound some of these numbers.
Still not working. It seems to compile, but I don't know what to do with the black screen that the client gives. Compile errors are googleable, but I don't feel like digging into code in some language that I have never used. I wouldn't know how to do console.log nor where to read the console log.
It's suspicious that doing N requests of 100 bytes is slower than doing N requests of 10000 bytes. That doesn't pass the sniff-test for me.
