I am having a bit of a difficult time responding to this comment, because you seem to have simply set up and dismissed outright the primary reason why most people who release closed-source software do not also release source code (protecting their research and engineering design, making it more difficult for unskilled developers to clone their efforts and compete with them, which would undercut their ability to support their effort) and instead concentrate on your own reason (that it will undermine their DRM scheme), a reason that I have honestly never heard because it is (as you correctly point out) somewhat preposterous :/. If you were to take a second and notice that there are large numbers of closed-source projects out there where the developers did not bother with any form of DRM at all, it should become obvious that you have chosen to attack a strawman.

You also have conveniently misrepresented my original complaint (and, I am pretty certain, goldenkey's later elaboration): there is a difference between "hoping for" or "encouraging" something and indicating displeasure and expectation :(. "it is too bad that comex didn't give me $10" is a fundamentally different statement than "I would really appreciate it if comex gave me $10"... even "it would be really awesome if comex had given me $10" is not a sufficient fix: it continues to imply a form of entitlement where it is not just subjectively but objectively bad that the speaker did not get what they wanted... that comex is actually doing something objectively bad (and worse, already in the past did something objectively bad: note that the tense also changes in those versions to did/had) by not giving me $10... this kind of attitude does, I believe, seem somewhat "unreasonable".
We should be much more worried about the higher level interfaces/languages that app developers actually program to. They're stuck in the stone age. The level of abstraction needs to be raised many notches and programmers need to be freed from running around in circles after performance tricks.

SRT is named after Sweeney [1], Robertson [2], Tocher [3], which came up with the idea independently of each other. There is also a 1956 paper by Nadler said to have a similar algorithm, but it seems impossible to find.

Tesla Says Battery-Supply Deal to End
Yes. I've been burnt out for the last few months but it's only after my father's recent death I decided to take the leap and quit my job. It's not programming in general, it's the tight deadlines, last minute changes which result in fires and long hours putting out those same fires. All that time spent working means no time living.
You are right about the outgoing links on your site to avoid leakage (this is what well implemented search engines like DuckDuckGo does as well), but I think GP talked about the incoming links of your site. Your pages will appear as exit pages in Google Analytics which you cannot do a thing about.

This standard response misses the nuance of end-to-end encryption: If the default everywhere was EoE encryption, it becomes significantly harder for anyone to target you (for an average value of you)
See emscripten, mentioned downthread. C/C++, Ruby, perl, Lua, Python are available now.

It shouldn't be too hard to port any language written in C. I don't know what would be involved in getting Mono up and running (so you could get Microsoft languages) but it doesn't seem like it would be impossible.

The Easy Trick to Drastically Increase the Life of Your Razor Blades
We had something of a meshnet protocol with regards to email previously, or at least, it was generally tenable to run a mailserver on any arbitrary IP address at one time. That ended pretty much by the late 1990s due to the ever growing onslaught of spam.

Today it can be (and often is) frustrating even for established companies to get their mail delivered to all sources. I've had repeated frustrations especially with Yahoo, but also AOL (both continue to have a large number of addresses, if not active accounts -- problems in scrubbing old email addresses is another challenge). Larger companies may have their own idiosyncrasies regarding accepting email -- even with SPF and DKIM records, I've not infrequently encountered companies (some of which, granted, do things involved making littler things out of little things called atoms) who requested (and presumably require) the specific IP address of our outbound mailservers for communications.

More generally, email badly wants to have some sort of reputation layer put on top of it, though how to accomplish this has eluded general solution (SPF and DKIM are only band-aids, and already break a lot of legacy behavior). Total encryption would be good, including of headers. It's a bit of a mess.
For an alternative, much more fun to read, perspective:

I'm so psyched to see this. It's incredibly heartening to see YC set a great example because of their visibility and the amount of respect we all have for them in the tech/startup community. As someone who's unsuccessfully worked on getting codes implemented, I think this is absolutely huge and predict others will do the right thing and follow suit.

I agree that this is pretty vague. I don't think the more nitty gritty details (how to make an incident report, who's responsible for handling it, etc.) have to be posted publicly, but hopefully the actual policy is being worked on behind the scenes.
I'm not sure we'll be able to call you, it sounds like your phone works on different principles to ours!
Yeah, I'm aware of the difference. Personally, I think it's splitting hairs in an already extremely small genre (by number of titles, not players).
Well every second start proposition on HN is "you give us access to your..."

So if the default was EoE, it still wouldn't matter.
Why Basecamp just launched an online magazine that shuns technology
The settlement agreements for calls are pretty straightforward (Sending party pays). Consumers are also billed for service, but behind the scenes there's a wholesale market where traffic imbalances are valuable (this is also a core issue with Net Neutrality; consider that at peak Netflix is 35% of global bandwidth which is mostly delivered by one provider: cogent).

There's a whole different discussion around signaling and abusing both headers and early media transfers to avoid billing. It's still very largely the wild west, IMHO.

The first time I heard about lucid dreaming, I was a freshman in college. This guy was explaining it to me in this salacious manner, which he claimed was easily accessible to him now that he had gotten the hang of it, and I just found myself completely unimpressed by his masturbatory fantasies.

Thinking it over, I've never been able to conceive of an obvious benefit to it, other than as a means to avoid bad dreams. But beyond that, why bother? What kind of absurd escapism is this? And then, just to wake up to a piss-poor reality, where I'd rather be asleep? Feh!

In the long run, I found that my diet had a strong relationship with the bad dreams I was having, and after I got out of college, and started buying food with my own money, when I purchased the foods I actually felt hungry for, instead of just raiding the refidgerator for whatever my parents had stocked with (or otherwise resorting to fast food), that bad dreams disappeared, and now I rarely have memorable dreams.

Sleep is restful and uneventful, when I get enough of it, and I'm thankful for that.

I think you're confused. What is your point exactly? This whole discussion has been about how your original post was a baseless appeal to authority (which you still seem intent to make).

I was in Houston for a couple of years in 2011-2012 for a big bank in the capacity of a Software Engineer. The environment there was caustic and anti-relaxation. The people introduced artificial stresses to sound and seem important (mostly to avoid being laid off). There's one manager especially who reminded me of a wolf on prowl. He roamed about in the office from time to time and shouted orders arbitrarily at people. Most of them ignored him, but he seemed important to many. I got tired of the constant bickering and unnecessary meetings, left the job.

Let's use "twice" as the name of Church numeral 2, and "thrice" as the name of numeral 3.

If you look at the input and output of thrice, it looks like this:

(function that gets applied once) -> (function that gets applied 3 times)

What if we used the output as the input again?

(function that gets applied once) -> (function that gets applied 3 times) -> (function that gets applied 9 times)

We have a name for what we just did to the "thrice" function, and that name is "twice". So that's (twice thrice), and we can see it makes something happen 3^2 = 9 times.
Short answer: Tarsnap can back up a sparse image without messing up any de-dup properties of the contents of the sparse image.

I haven't tested Tarsnap with my Time Machine backups yet, but I've used non-Mac file systems as file servers to Mac OS X clients for more than 10 years now.

The only special bit of Time Machine backups is the hard-links to directories. This requires HFS+.

A sparseimage that is an image of an HFS+ file system can use that file system to hold Time Machine backups.

Such a sparse image can be copied to a non-HFS+ file system, without affecting the Time Machine backups on the sparse image.

Using a "sparsebundle" instead of a single-file sparse image will let you use non-Mac file systems such as FAT32 that limit the file size to less than 2 GB.

There may be reputational or hard costs which scale with the size of the breach, so it may matter whether you e.g. lost 100 records corresponding to one customer's account or e.g. you can't rule out the possibility that you lost 100 million records across all customer accounts. For the types of breaches of most pressing interest to my company, those two scenarios activate different transitions on a regulatory state machine. I'd hate having either happen, but the first one means "a major headache" and the second one means "all I'll think about for the next several months."

I'm not sure that consumers don't care about bokeh, they just don't know how to achieve it. I've been using the Google camera app that does lens blur and everyone I show it to loves it. It's a little cumbersome to use though and require a still subject. Maybe light field could be one of the features that keep compact cameras around in the face of competition from phones.

I also wonder if there are computer vision applications. I don't know how accurate depth fields from stereoscopic images are, and maybe two cameras are not always practical...

The flight plan did not contain an altitude for the flight, one of the sources said. While a controller entered the usual altitude for a U-2 plane - about 60,000 feet - the system began to consider all altitudes between ground level and infinity.

The thing that excites me most about Light Field Photography is that LF cameras are the only thing that could take a photo that would actually feel at home in an Oculus Rift. Binocular cameras fake the 3D experience by capturing two 2d images and fixing them to each eye. But in the Oculus you can move your head around so two 2d images aren't enough. You need an actual depth map in order to generate images in response to head movements. LF cameras can provide one.

thanks for feedback. you are right, the battery life is poor.

the problem with the battery life is not the arduino itself - a bare atmega328 (the hearth of arduino) will live for several months from a 3AA battery.

the real power consumption comes from the ultrasonic sensor - I tried to completely cut it off from power between measurements, however the ultrasonic circuit is not recovering properly from these on&offs (I was looking for help on arduino forums but without response: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=216079.msg1589123#ms...)

Yes, this could be an intermediary state between a full–blown mesh network which everything is fully peered, and a fully centralised network such as today's Internet. It all depends on everybody carrying their own weight, though, and of all, that seems to be the farthest away concept so far. Phones and other mobile devices are consuming an increasingly sizeable chunk of the pool and those devices are barely able to connect and to their work, much less work for others due to battery restrictions, which are ultimately bound by the laws of physics.

This is also the reason Aether will most probably never have a mobile version. Not until they finally make nuclear fusion work, and compact it enough to make batteries with it!

Shame, for I would love to see it happen.

About the significance of family as I grow older -- When I was younger, I would hear the expression "The only thing that matters is love," and I would literally not understand what it could be referring to. It was devoid of possible content for me. I assumed it was just something people said, like "have a nice day".

What mattered back then was to always be smarter, to always know that already (for any value of "that"), etc. I'm still that way sometimes, of course. The alpha nerd does not just disappear.

Well, it took 20 more years, but I get it. When it's all over, it may be that all that mattered was love.
"seems" is the operative word... here and in the quote you were talking about.
> Why do you think that?

It seems pretty self-evident to me... maybe there's a more specific question you could ask? If you are a member of the capital class, then you "own" various "resources", like fields and vehicles and water and ideas, and if a poor person tries to access those "resources" the government steps in and uses violence against the poor person until they stop. If you sit down to write any sort of definition of "property" that's more or less what you're going to arrive at.

Maybe you can point me at what part of this picture you're hesitant to acknowledge?

FYI, the CVE linked to is for an ASLR bypass that could not be used to exploit anything by itself (only assist other exploits).

* Swamp People (multiple episodes) - Cajun reality show
* Down East Dickering - knockoff Pawn Stars reality show
* 'Info Documentaries' - pretty sure this is 3 hours of infomercials
* Gettsyburg Civilians - a history show! At 4:30am.
* UFO Files - from 7am til 5pm
* Ancient Aliens - 5pm til 8pm
* more UFO Files until midnight

That's the entire schedule for the day, no omissions. Reality shows, then informercials, then 17 (seventeen!) straight hours of aliens. They do spend 30 minutes on Gettysburg at 4:30am, which along with WWII is the only history the History Channel even considers touching.
Because running a mail server can be a pretty big responsibility, especially if you're letting others send mail from it. The more people using your server, the more important it will be to monitor for abuse and deal with abuse reports.

When I first set up my mail server I was pretty excited about being able to help everyone I know get their email away from Google, Hotmail etc. But once I had it running, I quickly realized that I didn't really want to give to very many people. Even if I trust all of my friends not to abuse, I cannot trust all of their computers.
