Welcome, friend! Glad to see some people liking it :-)
When you link the application with the Mirage runtime (what you refer to as "libOS") you create a new kernel.
You then run that kernel directly on Xen (like you would run a Linux domU), so yes they run in kernel land.

I'm not convinced that 'Xen + Mirage unikernel' has a performance advantage over 'Linux baremetal + Mirage direct mode', but I definetely see an advantage compared to 'Xen + Linux domU + Mirage direct mode'.

Would be fun to feed those scammers with their own card info and see if they would recognize it ?

Of course you'd have to track them down first.
Yes, at least a few of the Ten Commandments from God are ridiculous. What's your point?
Maybe they should ask to fuckin' play the damn game so they can decide whether it's worth a marketing spend.

Thanks - appreciate your feedback! :) It was a fun excuse to play around with CSS transitions, too.
It would be faster, but this would still cause the compiler to open and start parsing the file unnecessarily (possibly multiple times from multiple included files).

Another approach would be to have a pragma that means: "just don't bother including this file again if you see it", and have the compiler remember it. Perhaps there is - its a long time since I programmed in C.
Oh wow, those example compiler bugs are really interesting. Turns out aggressive removal of code that invokes undefined behaviour can combine with common, safe optimisations to cause misoptimisation - even though the code output by the earlier optimisation passes was safe due to implementation details, a subsequent pass decided that because the optimised code's behaviour wasn't defined by the C standard it could assume it never executed and remove chunks of it. Nasty.
All Plan9 C programs are written in this way. Paradoxically the number of includes in your code is minimal compared with the usual POSIX aproach. All C programs begin with two includes: u.h and libc.h and usually libio.h and it is often all you need for the startdard library.

The man pages of the libraries describe the libraries you need to include.

Example:

Plan9 cat: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/plan9/sys/src/cmd/cat.c

GNU cat: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob;f...

Ha - thank you! I had no idea that was a real quote. As soon as I read that I was taken back to the scene where Brandon Lee said this in The Crow. Learn something new every day..

Think of the algorithm as playing a game against a human, where the human players' goal is to maximize compensation/opportunities/generally feeling good or at least ok about work. The algorithm's goal is to maximize the business's surplus (productivity minus cost). This game is competitive (but not zero sum).

You are claiming that the human cannot beat the algorithm, because the algorithm can always adapt. But humans are still better than computers at some games (Arimaa, Havannah, Hex, Go) and worse at others (Chess, Checkers). So your claim needs a lot more justification.

The comparison is worrisome: depending on how good these algorithms get and how zero-sum the competition is, we could be screwed. But we don't know.

That is far to narrow: metadata is literally "data about data", be it structural or descriptive.

It's also worth remembering that this is not categorical, particularly for descriptive metadata. In one context a piece of information may be metadata, in another data.
> she relates all the checks that exist to prevent greedy people from suing for unreasonable amounts of money ...

Note the part of the sentence, "unreasonable amounts of money". That doesn't mean the lawsuits still don't happen, costing business owners thousands of dollars just to get them thrown out. Sometimes it's cheaper to throw the complainant a few thousand dollars, which they'll claim as a win, just to go away cause it's cheaper than going to court.

I was going to show two examples from my own restaurants but decided against it. You would not believe these were even considered by any attorney much less the judge who was willing to listen to them.
I used to own a ThinkPad Edge-I bought it when I was much poorer than I am now, and needed a decent laptop. It was nice to have a relatively cheap computer with the TP branding, but over time I came to realize that it was nothing more than a generic cheap 14 inch laptop with the TP branding.

When you consider what TPs used to be, and what people think of when they think of TPs...well, either the Edge wasn't a true ThinkPad, or Lenovo is seriously diluting the brand. See also the ThinkPad tablet they came out with.

And none of the arguments in presented TFA referenced mobile devices at all. Even the section which would be relevant ("I don’t have Word installed") does not even mention mobile. And it doesn't even touch the real problems with .docs on mobile, eg their "non-responsive" layouts.

Most noise is quantum noise (including the one quoted, even though electron avalanche is a classic phenomenon, in semiconductors it's going to have quantum effects)

But in the end it doesn't matter, any unpredictable, non manipulable source of randomness is fine. Other sources of noise in electrical circuits (apart from quantum noise origins) are interference (like the 60Hz hum, radio interference, and even background radiation)

"TrustedPayday has gobbled up Mary’s information and is alerting other sites, with names like clicks.cashadvance.com. Somewhere in the machinery that processes payday loan applications, decisions are being made. In just a few minutes, loan offers begin falling into Mary’s inbox. We’ve just watched Mary’s identity get turned into profit before she’s even taken out a loan."

Is there a way to fight fishing with spam? Perhaps if the loan request market was saturated with enough fake requests, the price for leads would fall as leads would become increasingly unreliable and time-wasting for the fishers.

Margins would decrease for the sites who sell the loan request information, as their info becomes less and less reliable (valuable).

Margins would decrease for the scammers as they invest more time and money in due diligence and verification of the loan requests.

The irony of the situation would be priceless. Could spam be the way to fight scams?

Oh, I agree that there are ways to improve productivity and employee satisfaction at the same time, and some companies might choose to do that.

But let's be real - there are likely more people that jobs that they are willing to do in the US for the short to medium term. As the 'jobless' recovery showed, companies were perfectly able to squeeze out additional 'productivity' (ok, I'll agree that the way we measure market performance isn't really that great, but it's the metrics that we largely agree to play the game by) while cutting labour force, and maybe even per-worker pay, and likely driving down employee satisfaction, other than how glad they were to still have a job.

As long as 'hey, look be glad that you have a job' is a legitimate threat, for the majority of workers, they're really out of luck, cause again, let's be real. The right thing that benefits both employees and the employer is not the same thing as the right thing that benefits both the employees plus the guy you just fired and the employer.

Isn't this the same problem that music has though? The vast majority of musicians don't make a huge living from creating their own music. You either do it for the joy of it with the hope of possibly being discovered. Struggling artist etc. With the main difference being that software developers skills are also hugely wanted in other markets, which musician skills normally aren't.

On some level, its a question of how you both eat the cookie and have it, right? What independent game developers want is some guarantee of a base income, but also with the option to cash in big if they do make it big.

Maybe there is an opportunity there - I'm not sure if a credits organisation is what you're looking for. But maybe something like a self-organised fund that will buy stakes in individual projects, where the stakes are paid out more in a salary style?

Semi-organised group of indie-game developers that guarantee a (lowish) living income to all in the group in exchange for a relatively large chunk of any large windfalls to support the future. If games are actually sustainable then something like that feels like it could stand a reasonable chance, right? Assuming you get past a critical size and have some name recognition. Could also move into the same benefit areas that unions do.

Essentially something like your own very light-weight union/co-op.
Please be sure to use the term "3rd degree" any time you use the word "burn" in this context. It's the most important detail, omitting it looks suspicious.

I don't buy tea in the US since the water's never hot enough to brew a good cup. The nature of the preparation is such that there's often little difference between serving and brewing temps.

When I buy coffee I have no expectation that it's as hot as tea because not only is it prepared differently, but there is always a difference between brewing and serving temperature. The serving temp is only peripherally related to the brewing temp. Most chains tend to serve coffee around 160-170 F / 71-77 C.

If coffee's served at 180 F/82 C, something is seriously wrong with the place's setup. McDonalds was serving at 190 F/87 C. They cranked their Bunn equipment to the absolute top end of the serving temp. the hardware would allow. At the higher end every degree has a huge impact on the seriousness of burns.
I wonder about that. There'll be a motivation for companies to defect.

If I can get awesome people to work at my company just by offering them a reasonable amount more than at Evilcorp, I'm just gonna do that. If it forces Evilcorp to raise their wages, then that's good for me - EC is spending more to get what they'd get anyway - and if they come work for me then that's good too.

Wage fixing, is a problem, don't get me wrong. However, it's a problem regardless of how efficient you are in hiring.
Nope, even mature compilers are buggy.

I find it amusing how often compiler authors have to workaround bugs in other compilers. See: http://search.gmane.org/?query=MSVC+2012&author=&group=gmane...

I don't mean to pick on MSVC and many of those are not-yet-implemented issues, it is just the easiest to search for. I've found (and even fixed a few) enough bugs in LLVM/Clang to realize that no compiler is perfect or even close! =)
.doc(x) != word. For example, I really like http://www.abisource.com/ on desktops.

Having the ability to open .doc(x) files IS standard, Microsoft Word is not. Lucky we got OpenOffice, LibreOffice, AbiSource and tons of other open source, freeware, shareware, commercial off the shelf software to open .doc(x) on every imaginable platform.

EDIT: I prefer text, because I am a vimmer, but accept opening (and often sending) .docx is a part of the requirements that I can't control.

Thanks for this! Currently writing my master's thesis, and I'm in desperate need for such data sets. Especially free data sets.
I hate to be "that guy", but isn't "code monkey" a derogatory term? And isn't there, you know, no actual coding involved in the game?

I would just call it something like "Island of Monkeys" instead. Sneak in the logical and programming concepts like RoboRally does.

> You think any spying has stopped since Snowden

I remember that "internal" NSA memo which tried to reassure the employees, basically saying "don't worry, we'll just winter the storm, it will pass...".

And that's exactly what they're doing: Wait. And it's all that's necessary, because everybody has already shut up and is anxious about the next iPhone.
If the compiler can remember there's a pragma like that, then it can also remember there's an include guard wrapping the file.
It’s not a “Robocop” unless it has a human brain inside. It’s also not a “drone” (with the current definition of drone) because nobody is controlling it remotely. It’s apparently simply a robot with a gun and a switch “Patrol only/Fire at will”.

People find their own dreams very interesting. Most people find most other people's dreams very uninteresting.

You say it's a "near true account of my dream". Well I could give you a near true account of the shit I had this morning, but you wouldn't be interested.

Plus the extreme offence you seem to be taking to people saying they're not interested in what you're saying is making me dislike you even more. You come across as one of those people who thinks they're really profound, but they're not.

Finally what is "uthiye", and what grown person calls their mother "mummy"?
They would be just as bad if she spilled home made coffee using water from her own kettle. But then there would be no uproar then, would there? Or would she go and sue the maker of the kettle for making water so hot?
I equated it mostly because I was commenting about its effects - if Club Mate has a similar effect than regular Mate "tea", it's a better alternative to coffee, and at least one comment here makes it seem so (cessor: "With mate the caffeine rush is much better"):

I'll have to taste Club Mate and see what it tastes like (I might like it more than regular Mate! I find it too bitter)

Nuclear startups reimagine atomic energy
One of the more interesting facts from this was that Python2 will be supporting SNI out-of-the-box, and some of the related discussion on what will now be pushed into the 2.7 release:

http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/

Since there's no other commentary yet, I'd just like to point out how much of a pain SNI has turned out to be for us in the release of the product I was just working on. Sure, major browsers all support it, but you get bit on things like automated testing tools (ie: Python2-based ones using old version of the requests library), third-party load-testing services (one we've contracted with did not support SNI but it's "on their roadmap"), Charles Proxy (we use this a lot for remote debugging on devices but SNI support is hit-and-miss), and all of the little things like old versions of cURL etc used in monitoring.

In the end we ended up moving back to virtual-IP-based SSL to support the tooling. I was a little sad when this happened.
Yeah, I was disappointed to find that the name had nothing to do with the underlying technology or the actual use-case. It's just a super-short-range messaging app.

I'll agree and disagree. I have lost contracts to people who were willing to flat out lie to customers about their products, but since I moved to the bay area, I've also saved a life and got two people off drugs. That's what power is, you know.
I'm sure their mathematical models are very beautiful, but the facts just don't support this theory at all. The "wheel" argument against this theory is just too damning, and their counterargument is weak: that nearly 4000 years after the language family split up, words for wheel, axle, and yoke managed to spread to nearly all daughter languages as loan words. But the problem is that these supposed loan words words reflect the same sound changes as all of the basic, inherited vocabulary. Thus the wheel vocab must be inherited from the same point in time as words like thou/tu/du.

Not to mention that the material culture found at the Ukraine sites is a much better match for what we know about early Indo-European culture.

To be fair, OpenSSH's sshd doesn't have support for scp either. scp invokes ssh to connect to the target host and launches another scp instance there to talk to. There's no reason that wouldn't work with TinySSH too.
Yes, you can modify and run versions privately without having to release source code.

The AGPL want that anyone who uses a service also have access to the source code. If one runs a modified AGPL service that only one person have access to, then the set of people who need to have access to the source code is that one.

The thing is they have created a gazillion other indistinguishable lines, which I presume are even junkier due to not having the head start of IBM designs.

Sometimes I question whether my recent upgrade to a T61 was a good investment. A faster processor and more than 8GiB would be nice. Power efficiency and LCD technology has gotten a lot better and I could learn to live with a shortscreen. And playing with a T431 for a short time, the changed trackpoint buttons didn't seem that bad.

Then I read articles like this and their comments and remember the reasons I generally keep my head in the sand for the technology upgrade cycle.
Two uses of quantum effects are 1. Generating random numbers, 2. Entangling bits to detect "man in the middle".

Then you also haven't known the world of the Intel Macs. That really changed things since you could now build almost any *nix-based app on the box with very minimal modifications. I think this is one of the reasons they've become so popular with the developer community - UNIX underneath, Aqua to make the system friendly, ability to build almost any code you can compile and run Windows in desperate times thanks to Boot Camp.

There's a great comment about this on reddit (I'll quote the relevant part below):

http://www.reddit.com/r/linguistics/comments/259yt8/indoeuro...

"This is essentially the conclusion of biologists who treated the spread of language like the spread of disease. They specifically only modeled slow expansion through cultural diffusion, meaning they completely ignored things like languages spread through conquest. They literally ignored the Roman empire in the evolution of Indo European. So if you look at the actual timeline their simulation puts forth, it has things like Iceland being populated by settlers from the Faroe Islands, who took fifty years to cross the sea there. They also did much of this on the basis of cognates, and so by their model Russian splits off of the slavic languages first and Polish is closely related to Ukrainian, because Russian has a bunch of Greek words that make it seem superficially different.

Overall, it's not good science."

The poster also recommends a video that breaks this apart in greater detail, though it's over an hour long:

Your comparison is flawed.

She did not get a McDonalds kettle and pour just boiled water onto herself. She asked for a cup of coffee, paid, took the coffee out to the car and got in the passenger seat. They drove for a short while. They stopped the car. She removed the lid and spilled the coffee.

A more fair comparison would be if she had poured her boiled kettle into a mug, carried that through to another room, and spilled it on herself as she sat down.

It's likely that in the latter case the water which would have been cooled by the mug and a metal spoon would have been less hot. That would have given her a few more seconds to remove the scalding clothing, which would have helped to reduce the severity of her injuries.

Part of the problem is that McDonalds was serving coffee hotter than people would have it at home because McDonalds wanted it to stay hot for the duration of the journey.
