Does this have an API? I could see it being a great tool if it did.
Are you hitting my spam filter or something? We have a group of 4 people that work together to handle the mail we get at careers@. If you send something and get no response, you can escalate, like you're doing here.

(I can't answer the question I just asked myself, because I have no idea who you are. Sorry!)

I don't know what else to tell you. We don't ignore mail to careers@. For instance: the H1B cap is now closed for the year, but we're still replying to people who would need a visa to work in the US.
FALSE FLAG - You're obviously working for the aliens and you just want us to think it's nonsense.

I've never seen a comment with which I more vehemently disagree.
That said, the level of "discussion" in that thread is kind of sad. No guarantee it would be better elsewhere, but I at least have tools that help me wade through mailing list traffic.

Basically, unthreaded messages for something like this is just obnoxious. And is pretty much the reason you move discussions to tables when you are at a public place and don't just sit having everyone try and shout at each other.
I'm not sure the purposelessness is necessarily the main point. On vacations, my favourite way to get around cities is always to walk. Even if you have a map and want to go somewhere specific, walking there gives you much more of a feeling of exploration and actually getting to know the place.

Betting aqua.flv is the source file, the name of the video is the temporary output file (probably from a transcoder), and the article's conclusion about testing is accurate.
What happens during wartime when civil liberties are curtailed? I suspect each company will have to follow their law of the land which might involve regrettable use of data. In other words I dont have a lot of trouble believing that the Googles and the Facebooks of the world will be good stewards of data in normal circumstances (Its in their self interest after all).

The other issue worth thinking about is that we are in the midst of the golden age of building networks so the economic models are all viable. What happens 10-20 years from now when the roving eye of economic development has moved onto other sectors leaving the economics of ad supported saas products non viable. I fully trust Google and Facebook, but if they were to ever be liquidated / sold in pieces I dont know if my data will end up in safe hands.
Each process has a set of page tables, which describe how physical memory is mapped to their view of memory. The entries in those tables can be marked "not present", so that when they're accessed by the process the kernel is signaled via what's called a page fault.

The interesting part is that this is used for both invalid memory areas (which cause segfaults) and for virtual memory. The kernel can take memory your process hasn't used in a while, write its contents to disk, and then mark that area "not present." Then it can give that memory to someone else, and load your data back in when you try to access it.

This trick is also used to load in binaries and other files. Instead of reading a program in all at once, the kernel just updates some internal bookkeeping to say "these pages should be from this file" and then lets the page fault handler load them in on demand.

The problem here is that the actual kernel page fault handler is plenty fast, but the hardware mechanisms that set it off and finish it are slow, because of how the CPU is built.
As of January 27, 2013, Visa and Mastercard allow credit card surcharges. Prior to this I believe merchant agreements did allow for cash payment discounts, just not "surcharges", even though they are practically the same thing.

I agree. Hibernate has become a downright liability at times in our codebase. These days I only use it in new code for query parameterization and result row transforms into models.

Speaking of which, if anyone knows of a good library for query parameterization alone, let me know...

Nobody has said that he was working on this while "at work" or not while shirking his salaried duties.

Imagine you're a chef. You design and cook menu items at your day job, then you go home and make pasta alfredo in your own way. You go to a new restaurant and you bring your pasta alfredo influence to it. Should restaurant 1 have any rights to the pasta alfredo you designed at home that was not even in use at their restaurant? Should restaurant 1 be able to charge you for making your pasta alfredo at home?

Obviously the big issue here is stealing code snippets or working on other products on the clock of another employer. But the blanket "anything you make while employed here at any capacity is ours" is just ridiculous and needs to go away.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. The popularity of GitHub and its position as the defacto modern source control management tool demonstrate that very few people hold your point of view. Sure, Git has a lot of options, but what do you need to actually be productive with Git? Probably only a handful of commands: git clone, git pull, git push, git commit, git add, git checkout, git branch, git log. And not too much more than that. At my university Git is used in every single lab based CS course and I don't know of a single person who has had trouble learning to use it.

I was banned inexplicably from Adsense after several years. Really frustrating, particularly as it was two days before payday and they seized my earnings. Appeals were fruitless (and obviously it's difficult to appeal when you have no idea what they think you've done wrong). If Google continue down this flawed path and blocks publishers that haven't done anything wrong, they'll make a bad name for themselves. Hopefully unable to sit on their laurels for too much longer.

Amazing. I didn't even realize I was wasting time generating my own sample JSON data until I played with this.
My wife bookmarks like a dozen tumblr pages, Reddit posts, fanfic stories, random websites a day on her iPhone and then reads them in bed on her iPad at the end of the day. She's not real tech savvy so I've got her using Chrome which syncs them up to all of our devices: 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, a PC that boots osx and windows, and a Nook. She can pick up any device and her bookmarks are there. It would be difficult to get her to give up that functionality or have to switch browsers depending on what site she's on. Even the bookmarklet that switches you to 1Password isn't intuitive. I wish 1Password would manage bookmarks and sync them between devices like Chrome does.
Has anyone ever done a statistical analysis of post voting patterns in political discussions to attempt to determine if any manipulation of the discourse might be occurring? Using non-public votes to determine comment rank seems like a ripe target for abuse since it can't be independently analyzed. I would love to see an outside audit of votes on a site like reddit to make sure there isn't corporate or political influence corrupting the exchange of ideas.

That would require a Java agent. And that's a smell it its own right. (Cf JMockit)
Oh, well, that's much more reasonable, of course; it's not civilization entire you'd like to see collapse, just cities.

How do you imagine this working, pray? "Build lots of trains" I expect to feature prominently in any response you might make, and that's fine as far as it goes. How do you envision their cargo making its way from there? Cities depend on endless fleets of grumbling, farting trucks, which of course no one loves, and presumably by now you'll have scrapped them all and had them melted down for their steel. But that leaves tons upon tons of goods -- tons and tons just of food and drink, every single day. How d'you plan to shift all that? Do you envision streets full of carts and horseshit? Hand-drawn wagons and barrows? Coffles of laden, staggering slaves?

Or do you instead fantasize about what in the early Cold War was called "decentralization" -- put short and simply, the enforced diaspora of millions upon millions of city dwellers into a countryside which has neither need nor desire for their presence, to say nothing of places to put them all? Oh, that'd go so much better! I'm not sure who'd hate whom worse, or where the riots would most likely start, but I'm sure that scheme would make for a stretch of history delightfully full of incident -- the sort of thing for which future high school students will find it actually worth keeping their eyes open in class, assuming future high schools reverse our modern degradation at least to the extent of resuming proper instruction in history.

Or have you some other fantastic scheme? Honesty compels me to admit that I have never yet encountered a utopian theorist whose fancies bore up under anything remotely resembling rigorous criticism, to say nothing of reality's much harsher judgment. But, while no longer young, I'm far from dead yet, and I don't imagine I've heard everything there is to hear. Perhaps you will astound me.
PHP is for these tests, nginx and 256 to 512 PHP processes under PHP-FPM. Not a single process. If you put 40 Go processes behind nginx, each one allowed to use only 2 to 4 processors, you will get notably different results.

Anyway, the tests show how hard it is to scale to many processors with a single process. It shows that the Java VM is really good at it (to be expected, Sun always had systems with insane numbers of cores).
I think swap files are written page-wise, so as long as the start of the page file is aligned, all the writes should be aligned. (assuming memory page size and SSD page size are the same)

I think it was Dave Barry (writing a serious article) who interviewed a local sheriff about UFO abductees. The sheriff said "people used to call and say their neighbor was a German spy, or using a ray gun on their brain. Then science fiction comes around, and now people call and say their neighbor is an alien, or that they got abducted into a spaceship."
Guava works on it though, thank goodness!

I wouldn't think so. Just stick your skill set and history down, along with what sort of company or area you're looking for and a way to be contacted.

I don't think this is accurate. We have a kernel bypass for disk operations. We use our own memory buffers, and bypass the filesystem, block, and SCSI midlayers. Our stuff is basically what O_DIRECT should be.

There are cases where we are 50% faster than O_DIRECT without any "caching". Furthermore, in high bandwidth applications (>4GB/sec) without O_DIRECT its easy to become CPU limited in the blk/midlayer so again we win.

Now that said, I haven't tried the latest blk-mq, scsi-mq, etc patches which are tuned for higher IOP rates. These patches were driven by people plugging in high performance flash arrays and discovering huge performance issues in the kernel. Still, I expect if you plug in a couple high end flash arrays the kernel is going to be the limit rather than the IO subsystem on a modern xeon.
"They won't go completely extinct, the way mainframes haven't. But they'll get relegated to smaller and smaller niches."

The small screen size of a mobile phone will always limit it's suitability for particular tasks. I can't imagine any office, for example, replacing their desktop PCs with smartphones. That's hardly a niche market. Smartphones are good for consumption, but not so good for creation. For example, even the simple task of word-processing is painful on such a small screen using an on-screen keybboard.
I was expecting a fuzzer what would let me generate things to try to corrupt my JSON interpreter, but this is much more useful.

The remark about frame-breakers seems to be to bring up a valid concern - the sites being linked to certainly would not appreciate having their sites presented in a frameset with advertising which isn't their own.

If it were me (caveat: I have no credibility whatsoever) I would be concerned about the long-term viability of this as a moneymaker, given that the more popular snip.ly theoretically becomes, the more animosity it's likely to create from linked sites, and the more sites (particularly popular sites) are likely to just break out of the frameset entirely, rather than have their own SEO and analytics tampered with.
I am looking for a cofounder who specializes in web development (javascript, CSS, some back-end). My company has developed a new browser, called PolyBrowser, that could represent the next evolution of how people browse the web. Current browsers, which limit you to using one website at a time, were designed 20 years ago. PolyBrowser lets you work faster by stitching your websites together side-by-side like a panoramic photo. You can zoom out to see the big picture, or zoom in to see the details. (polybrowser.com)

It's rather far along, although we're still in stealth mode preparing for launch. There are many aspects that need the assistance of a talented programmer. Contact aaron.travis (at) polysuite.com.
Thanks Nick, I just emailed you with more details.

It appears to be working now!
Everbase: Presents itself as an UbuntuOne alternative
Prior to the unbundling, responding to a Facebook Message requires the overhead of loading up the news feed and at least one extra tap to see messages.

I suspect this also has to do with internal development mechanics as well. Unbundling lets the Messenger team push app updates out more quickly, without having to worry if their changes broke the main Facebook mobile app.

Not sure what's up with Paper, but I'd guess it's about letting the Paper team experiment with new UX ideas without fear of upsetting the majority of users still using the current app.

One of the great things about astronomy is that it's really one of the few fields of science where amateurs can still have a large impact. Most nearby supernovae are actually discovered by amateurs, not professionals (including one just a few days ago [1]). In fact, the Japanese amateurs are famous for discovering supernovae because they get to catch all the ones that go off when it's night across the Pacific Ocean. But they also have collected a lot of very good data on variable stars, as well. [2]

Part of the reason amateurs have been able to play such a big role is that traditionally astronomers have used their resources to harness very large telescopes to study small patches of the sky very deeply. Study of bright objects across large regions of the sky only requires small telescopes, so it wasn't really worth professional astronomers' time to conduct those observations. This has been changing lately with the rise of robotic telescopes, however. Now that professional astronomers don't have to operate the telescopes themselves, they can collect bright transient data across wide swathes of the sky. [3]

Huh. I've heard this story before, but in a setting where I thought it was an urban legend. Perhaps multiple professors have this tactic.
But as you say it's a purposeful walk to commute to/from work no? I wonder what % of people truly do the purposeless, I'm going outside for a walk, kind of walk...

I know I never do that. I walk to get somewhere, I walk to show friends the city, I walk while meeting with someone, but never walk just to walk.
