Hi Julie,

I do not claim anything, nor do I victimize myself, I just stated the obvious namely that leboncoin.fr dosen't like my webapp. The letter is theirs.

It might be possible to register a domain with INPI but not a wildcard like lebonXXX.fr

You might be right though, which is why I complied and removed all mention of their brand name and any functionality related to it from my site as soon as I received their letter.
And then if you get sued you point at your own prior art. You don't need to patent something to prove you invented it, you just have to publish your invention.

At any rate, historically Apple has been aggressive in its use of patents, so even were that necessary it's unlikely that'd be the main motivator for them.

Yeah, but assembly generally isn't portable (x86 assembly is different than ARM assembly, etc.), that's what makes it biggest pain IIRC.

Asm.js on the other hand, is portable and just that makes it way better than any regular assembly. Also it seems better looking than regular assembly (no registers as such, no jumps, etc.).

It's a huge step back compared to plain JS, but it's not that impossible to write in.

The sentiment you just wrote is one of the chief inspirations for the TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks project that I'm part of. Today, we routinely see huge amounts of computational horsepower evaporated in the name of developer efficiency. Yet the modern web development ecosystem is so plentiful and diverse that there are myriad high-productivity platforms and frameworks that exploit computational horsepower rather than squander it.

My opinion is that investing the modest effort to select a high-performance platform and framework gives you the freedom to write inefficient application code first and to optimize later. It is the process that allows you to avoid the most expensive kind of premature optimization I've seen by postponing optimization until well after an application's concept has been vetted by its first several thousand users.

Thinking about this more, there's a little problem for those living in "the land of opportunity": given that the government has access to all communication via its dragnet, they're aware of your purchase and can intercept it at customs. Now you might try to be smart and buy it in person while on holiday. But remember, the airport NSA can take it off your without reason and of course do what they want to it.

I'm glad I don't live there.

Ditch the OS and go into huge unreal mode ala LoseThos. Disable interrupts in the loop. No MMU means no page faults, no TLB, no interrupts, you can't possibly get any faster than that! :-)

More seriously, I think 14.5GB/s is getting close to the limits of memory bandwidth on a single core already. Multicore CPU's memory controllers are optimised for multiple cores accessing memory, so a single one trying to saturate the bus might not perform so well.

I wish I had this 5 years ago when I was building a dev cluster.
OP here. I created a template for building nodejs apps very quickly. Basically, I extracted the basic building blocks common to all my projects (user management, access control, cron, backup, etc) and packaged them into a tight little module so I can reuse the functionality very easily. I would love to get some ideas on other basic functionality that would be useful to include in this package

Some interesting things just from flipping through it quickly:

- Condoleezza Rice appears to have asked the NSA to spy on our allies to help with negotiations in applying sanctions on Iran.

- The NSA intercepts packages of networking equipment and places 'beacons' in them.

- Looks like they have access to pretty much every large website, it appears they can easily search by IP or even username.

Edit: Feel free to add more, I certainly missed a lot.
That being said I wrote my own scraper & mail notifier for the same site to find an appartment about 1 year ago (it was june too) and it proved very valuable.

The code was in python and one of my friends may still have it around if you're interested.

O'Reilly Solid Discusses Building the Future with 3D Printing
What great pleasure this thread gave me. My Thai daughter confirmed the joke and, after a very painful explanation of bases, was laughing (tentatively) along with me.
I'm confused. Was I talking about websites? I'm talking about developing cross platform mobile apps that utilize Apple's new proposed JS engine and WebGL. Apple's policies prevent apps from using their own JIT JS engine (i.e. V8). Outside of Safari, we are stuck using a non-JIT (non "Nitro") version of JavaScriptEngine.

As a consequence, performance of JS outside of Safari is notably poor, and developers choose to go the "native" route for the sake of user experience.

My point is that we can do better. Tossing WebGL into the mix wouldn't hurt.
The point of the piece, in large part, was to emphasize that we're all network programmers. If you're whacking away with APIs and couldn't care less about the broader system its topology, please stay away from me. ;-)

APIs are proliferating because their coupling around client/server process and data representation makes for high switching costs and thus sweet vendor lock-in.

While I do like the idea, that not how your average customer work. Don't get me wrong, I love our customers, but here's a short list of weird stuff we seen from them:

* Forget which phone number they used.

* Switch to a email provider and don't transfer emails.

* Delete email 5 seconds after receiving it.

* Enter wrong email address, twice.

* Forget where they live... ?

* Forget order number.

* Give you an order number for a different webshop.

* Call and tell you that you're spamming ( i.e. sending an order confirmation )

Yes, you and I will save an email for two years, the average customer won't.

Still, I'm loving the idea.
So...don't do it?
As a front-end dev I am actually a big fan of Windows 8. I used OS X for a couple of years and finally realized I was placing too much emphasis on flashy GUIs and I had a different program for every little task.

Around the time Windows 8 came out I built a new pc and started using Win8 as my main OS. Now, my workflow basically consists of git, sublime, Photoshop/Illustrator, and gulp. I do use putty/rdp for server admin related tasks and filezilla for any ftp needs. I am pretty obsessive about having a clean OS, knowing exactly where my files are, and having as much customization as I need/want and I feel like Windows does that better for me than OS X. I also just prefer the design of Win8 to OS X.

Here is the kicker, most of things I prefer about Windows can be accomplished on OS X, it's just a personal preference. In general, I don't think Windows 8 is necessarily better than OS X for everyone but for me it is better. Find the OS you like, find the tools that you are most productive with, and build great products :)

You're not wrong, but how many people consider their opportunity cost in most money-related matters?

That is, every year around tax time (in the USA), I see several people trumpeting about how folks who get tax refunds did it wrong. "You should have taken a larger paycheck and put the surplus in an interest-bearing account!", they always exclaim. And they're right. People should have done that. But most people wouldn't have. A tax refund ends up being like an unseen piggy bank for a lot of people. They're not earning interest on that money, but at least they're saving it and not spending frivolously. Without that unseen piggy bank though, a lot of people wouldn't have the discipline to save that money.

This was my take away question. Redis can be used extremely effectively as a pool of job queues with failover. Perhaps RabbitMQ provides robust bidirectional messaging? While pooling Redis works well for one-way job submission (with each Redis instance being backed by some set of work consumers), making the process synchronous (whereby the consuming worker communicates back to the producer) is not so clearly handled in a robust way unless the producer is listening on some set of Redis instances for the single reply message. RabbitMQ seems heavy weight just to solve that single problem, though.
In my experience working with designers, and having done a decent amount of design-y work: yes, definitely.

In my experience, designers tend to be more holistic in their view on things, to a point where they might outright hate it when things are picked apart and defined and categorized. Which is exactly what engineers excel at.

I also find designers to generally be more... emotional, or at least they show their emotional side more, or allow it to express itself.

And then there's the strong value they place on the 'design' of things. The feeling, the cohesion, etc.

One of the best examples of the difference I can think of is when I showed worrydream.com to a designer friend. I was excited about Brett Victor's talks, his views on programming and interfaces and whatnot, and figured my friend would be at least interested in the UX stuff. This friend, however, hated how the site felt bloated and slow and how that in itself was pretty much enough for him to not take this guy's articles seriously. It was an affront, and surely anyone who had anything interesting to say on design and UI would take care of his own site!

Now in many cases the difference between designers and engineers might not be so pronounced. I suppose it's a spectrum. But I notice very clear differences between developers and designers, and it seems to be a common cause of conflict.

I've also noticed this difference within myself. For the past two years I mostly focused on development, after a long time of taking care of more of the whole pipeline (especially client contact and the 'social' aspects of design). I noticed that I started caring markedly less and less about the end result's 'beauty' or logic, and more and more on the internals. I actually stopped noticing things that would've bothered me tremendously in the past: fonts, padding, margins, UX, and so on.

In part, maybe it's also a role you step into (where either role somehow excludes the other).

And the mere fact that I come across very few people who seem to be both excellent designers and engineers supports the idea that there's a difference.

Rickover on paper reactors vs. real reactors:

An academic reactor or reactor plant almost always has the following basic characteristics:

1. It is simple.

2. It is small.

3. It is cheap.

4. It is light.

5. It can be built very quickly.

6. It is very flexible in purpose.

7. Very little development will be required. It will use off-the-shelf components.

8. The reactor is in the study phase. It is not being built now.

On the other hand a practical reactor can be distinguished by the following characteristics:

1. It is being built now.

2. It is behind schedule.

3. It requires an immense amount of development on apparently trivial items.

4. It is very expensive.

5. It takes a long time to build because of its engineering development problems.

6. It is large.

7. It is heavy.

8. It is complicated.

> But how do you interpret astronomical observations? By using the currently understood laws of physics, of course, so it becomes a bit of a circular argument.

One of the best ways to measure this is to use quasar absorption spectroscopy to probe the precise energy level spacing of atoms (like iron, magnesium, and so on) from billions of years ago with the energy level spacings found in the same atoms of today.

If the fine-structure constant (for example) were different by some amount in the distant past, its effect is calculable -- and the spectroscopic signature of a different fine-structure constant is distinct from any other physical effect (redshift of the spectrum, etc.).

There are some intriguing results that have come out over the past decade or so, with new information coming in all the time.
As I note above, the reactor (and its fuel and decay products) themselves become something to ransom. Or sell.

The problem with literate programming - which I absolutely love myself - is that you demand people to be both good coders and good writers. From my personal experience, there certainly are people who fit the bill, but they are a minority. Being (hoping to be) one of them it took me a long time to understand that not everybody is able to write good prose and good code at the same time... and that there are even people utterly incapable of one of these, while still being proficient in the other.

Having said this, encouraging literate programming practices is certainly a good idea, just don't expect it to be a silver bullet for code quality issues.
When some people draw the wrong conclusions from a piece of information, that doesn't mean nobody should be allowed to see that info.
Hashing doesn't solve the problem completely. You are still giving away information about file count, size & hierarchy.

Sure; I was just talking about the file names. You can avoid the hierarchy part by transmitting it separately from the files in a secure way, though.

Regarding selective sync : you'll have to organize the files logically into containers. I think even Dropbox doesn't let you sync files selectively, you have to have content separated into folders.

git-annex does. You can implement rules to decide what files should be synced, which should be dropped locally, etc.

For example, an MP3 player running it might have a rule such as

filename(*.mp3) or filename(*.ogg)

and it'll only sync those files, regardless of their directories.
