Snapchat settles FTC charges, agrees to be monitored for 20 years
Surely you aren't proposing any limit on free corporate speech.
That makes a lot more sense to me. Try and compete with the content companies on their own turf instead of just being a middle-man.
You are what you share.
Some places I find myself using corecursion:

Minimax algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimax (I actually generally use negamax, the non-corecursive version, but you should understand minimax first)

"Tying the knot" in Haskell

That is, it's possible to create circular lists in Haskell like so:

let x = 1:y -- x = 1 cons y
y = 0:x -- y = 0 cons x
in x -- return x

Which will return an infinite list of alternating 1's and 0's which only take up 2 ints (and pointers) worth of memory. Calling the millionth index merely runs in circles around the list until it's followed a million pointers.

EDIT: Minimax is mutual recursion, not corecursion, whoops.
just to clarify, Redactor has nothing to do with the bidirectinal support. I implemented it using the listed HTML > markdown and markdown > HTML libs and about 10 lines of code. This support can just as easily be added to any WYSIWYG editor that can bind keyup, and has getHtml() and setHtml() methods.

EDIT: and to really come full circle, instead of rendering the markdown in a plain textarea like the example, render it inside of Codemirror with syntax coloring.
I wonder if this plus Oculus will result in a universe like what was described in the novel Ready Player One?

You're assuming you have control over what the customer's servers are.
Microsoft seems to be rapidly losing mindshare.
It was always my understanding that there was a 'need' or 'goal' attached to a given persona, helping you to account for (read: remembering) a range of users when designing a certain aspect of a product/interface. For example, what works for Joe might not for Mary.
Either that or the investors are now spooked.
I appreciate that the FTC is trying to do right by consumers - it's a great mandate. This Snapchat issue seems so inconsequential compared to two areas I'd love to see them addressing - net neutrality and data privacy across all services.
Akamai stands to be either acquired by or crushed under the boot of the oligopoly. They're a big fat target. The ISPs will squeeze them for ridiculous fees, or just plain cut them off, while pushing content providers toward their own CDN offerings.

AT&T has been offering CDN services for a while, and Verizon already bought EdgeCast. It's not going to end there.

My knowledge of safety critical software is not extensive and several years out of date, but my understanding is that the big two languages in safety critical software are still MISRA C (a subset of C designed to enforce safety via static analysis, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MISRA_C), and Ada.

As far as I'm aware, Fortran and Algol are not widely used. But feel free to correct me.
Re: Have you ever seen a room full of second graders try to log into something?
Maybe I'm just attacking the weakest point of your argument, but I feel like this has to be pointed out.

> Step 1 is Facebook Connect for education: one identity to tie together all of a student’s learning applications into a cohesive experience.

2nd graders can't use Facebook. Facebook's TOS requires you be at least 13, due to COPPA and the personal nature of Facebook data. The rest of your advertisement for jobs doesn't really make sense, since I don't know what problem you're solving - since the issue brought up was logging in - maybe you're just doing an education identity platform?

No idea. Just wanted to point out that your example was flawed.

That note has been in the post since it was first published.
Actually, you can have Jars in Jars. Of course, you need to do the lifting yourself. It is actually very nice to have a simple unpack / installation application inside a Jar and to unpack the actual application from this Jar. In this way, the only requirement for unpack / installation is the JVM, which you already require to run the application itself. This is much more elegant than a platform dependent unpack / installation (installer binary or ZIP plus Windows Batch or a Shell script).

Well there ARE FCC restrictions on what frequencies you're allowed to transmit on. Most frequencies are "owned" by someone that has the right to transmit cell phone, radio, television, or other data across them. You may recall, for example, that there was a big bidding war several years ago when some of the old UHF bands were sold off. There are some open frequencies which you're allowed to broadcast without a license on, these are the ones that your cordless house phone and such will transmit on. Whether or not this is a legitimate reason for the closed source antenna code is beyond my scope of knowledge.
Shock combos were an especially fun one. You had to predict where someone would be and get a shock ball (probably the slowest projectile in the game) near them, then shoot the ball out of the air with a scan-hit beam to blow it up.

I'm really excited to see what they're doing here.
Among silicon valley webstartups, I would be surprised to hear much about java service/backend work at all. My experience is primarily with the megacorps.

If you are developing backend/service shit for other companies to use, then that is one thing, but I am thinking about in-house development. Most megacorps aren't software vendors; if they are developing software it is for themselves.

Regardless though, some megacorps deploying to windows doesn't explain the practices of java shops that don't deploy to windows. It seems like portability just for the sake of portability, without any real purpose but with real added hassle.

Epic Games could potentially corner a portion of the VR market. The VR market may explode bigger than the internet. I wish Epic Games was publicly traded, I would definitely buy the stock.
I have to agree with you there, I don't believe "Facebook Connect for Education" could take off in this case because of the Facebook ToS.

This is the future of game development. I have been saying this for a while to friends. I'm excited to see how this goes.
Epic has completely changed this year and doing amazing things like this and the $19 engine access. Living up to their name.

Looks like they are doing the Team Fortress 2 free to play model, even though they say it is free and not free to play, the vanity store/content is the Valve F2P model used in TF2, DotA, probably CS etc. These games are huge because of the community content, Epic is seeing that.

This is such a cool thing to do and only wish they did it many years ago.
The time limited version was horribly broken for my short test on 10.9.2. Gave up after 5 minutes.

Problems:
* Could not add URL params
* Request sent, no response output
* Could not modify headers

Basically the UI was so broken that I couldn't do anything with it unfortunately. Maybe the paid for version works - but not going to plunk down $20 when, in my case, the Chrome tools work far better.
Ask HN: should a one-man shop compete with a well-funded startup?
I am working on a project which I feel really excited about. There are no similar products today on the market, but I get to know that one startup was funded millions of dollors, with dozens of excellent engineers/designers, is working on the similar idea and making good progress. I'm in my 30s and quit my well-paid job to work on this. Should I give it up now? Thanks HN.
How kind of them to setup the site in a way which is indistinguishable from a MITM, so that its a common and usual thing and when there actually is a MITM against other sites you use you'll suffer from none of that uncomfortable alarm.
Insurance companies are not whining; on the other hand media do on their behalf, but insurance companies basically wrote the law, so you won't see BlueCross or Athena CEO on the news anytime soon "whining" on the new law.
Despite this poster's argumentative tone, they speak the truth. The tech scene in China is pretty limited due to tremendous government influence / interference. Heck, step 1 of setting up a foreign company in China is to bribe local authorities to poke a hole in the Great Firewall so it stops throttling your new office's VPNs.

That does assume that the 1 in 20 which perform poorly are randomly distributed across the set of PDFs. It seems at least plausible that these would actually be grouped up by type somehow (e.g. it mentioned that the worst one they found was a huge vector map of the Lisbon subway system), and thus it would probably be the case that a user would either encounter them far less than that 1 in 20 or far more, depending on their own usage patterns.

Try to move through the pages, don't stay on the first one! I have the 22nm i7 CPU here and compared to the work with Adobe PDF reader it's just horrible having to use pdf.js.

I must however admit that I'm not able to easily construct a Google search for more such documents, but I know a lot of people who work only with such -- they just can't work with pdf.js.

Does your benchmark measure the time to actually display everything on every page (what the human looking at all the pages must do), or just the time until the browser is responsible?

Edit: inspired from other comments, it seems that at least search for "math plots filetype:pdf" returns more guaranteed problems like

Still it's hard to find slow PDFs with certainty just by using Google.
I think they meant 'it' like FB connect...,' or at least I hope so for the sake of their competency. I agree that the whole post was particularly poorly written.
Interesting analysis. One thing left out: does the plane respond with a defined shifted frequency (like a transponder)? Inmarsat's analysis is most certainly wrong. They need to put the data in the public domain.

Yes, I'm sorry for being unclear; the three main groups of Christianity would be Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant. But my point isn't to make some kind of numbers claim (it wouldn't matter if Orthodox actually fall in 3rd place anymore), but rather to illustrate that these are not fringe beliefs.

Wat.
One slide mentioned having to fix hardcoded backslashes to forward slashes, and using path.join to make it portable. But on Windows, you can use forward slashes as well at the system call level. You only need to use backslashes on the command line, since many programs interpret a forward slash as the beginning of an argument.
I'm speaking about ones that are explicitly FRP, like Bacon. Data binding stuff is pretty close as well.

Why don't you think exchanges are competitive? I put forward a detailed argument about why I think they increase competition. I'd appreciate a response in kind.

Also, why do you think "you can barely call it insurance anymore"? It used to be that insurance companies in the individual market were allowed to invent excuses to dump their expensive customers and then they were allowed to raise their prices if the customer wanted back in. Basically, the individual insurance market degraded into "pay the full price of any chronic condition you have." I wouldn't call that insurance, I'd call that pay-as-you-go-with-a-middleman. Now that they actually have to provide the "peace of mind" that they sell, I think the argument is much stronger for calling them insurance companies.

So, basically, the opposite of what you said.

I took CS6300 - Software Development Processes and CS7641 - Machine Learning. I would not recommend two classes at once in your first semester, and never two classes with ML. (I've heard that Networking is comparable to SDP, and advanced operating systems is comparable to ML.)

SDP required 9-12 hours a week on average (many more some weeks) spent on group projects. It would have been less if I'd been working alone. The hardest part is working in a distributed team with no leader - especially because lots of people take this as an "easy" intro course; of the 6 people I worked with, 4 of them were not comfortable being asked to do any programming. O_o

ML required ~25 hours a week on average; I spent close to 100 hours on it during weeks with projects due - fortunately there are only 3 projects. The lectures are longer than SDP, the projects are hard, and there are exams that you'll have no idea how to prepare for. You will love it anyway.

Bathesda games have been mod friendly for years now.

In fact mods used to be the norm. I played more nodded Quake 2 15 years ago than I did Quake 2.

And selling them is not particularly new, Valve experimented with it back with CS1.6 and all those other mods that came out in the pack.

While I've never tried it in large cities, I've found Google Maps provides location along public transit routes. One of my favourite features is that it has the option to just show a line with stops and throws out the map completely. I found this nice since I don't really care where the bus is going as long as it gets me to my destination at some point.
A lot of people seem to chafe at these principles because they convey truths about a intangible reality they may not even be able to perceive. They only see more work for little payoff. They don't have the body of knowledge and experience (nor the intuition) to know when when to abstract more. We're also in a post-enterprise era, where any sort of deliberate design is often mocked by way of strawman AbstractComposerFactorySingleton references. Rhetoric masquerades as honest intellectual debate for self-promotional purposes.

I consider myself fortunate to have written enough C++ to learn coupling and cohesion. When you screw these up in C++, you pay for it, over and over, through increased compile times and link times.
Awesome looking. I'll wait until I can use it on a non-Facebook device. Looking forward to it.
In fairness the scale goes the other way too - some of these are stated to be quite minor stakes in the article while Google fully own everything mentioned by the parent (except Uber, but Lyft is an example Alibaba don't own outright)

This looks excellent, I think I'll use it to replace my current solution. I use hallo.js (on blogmask.com) which is also great but falls short when you want to add custom controls or styling. I've had a lot of trouble with images, etc.
I disagree. Not about the fact that politicians and the media put words into the mouths of insurance companies for the purposes of political gain, but about you claim that "insurance companies basically wrote the law." I don't think they made off nearly as well as you think they did.

Also, we wouldn't expect their CEOs to make much of a stink about this, at least not publicly (perhaps I should have said "hurting" instead of "whining"). We would expect them to be busy telling investors how they plan to best take advantage of the new rules. Because that's what they're paid to do. Any CEO who says they don't know how to do this is begging to be replaced.

We'll be able to tell who was right in 3-4 years by comparing their margins (or another metric like administrative overhead) to what we see today in the individual insurance market. I would bet a sizable chunk of money that they will be much closer to the margins we see in the employer-provided insurance market today.

I'm not sure that's how it works when it comes to accuracy of medical screening devices.

Say if there is a device that offers 99.9% accuracy but is used to screen a disease that occurs 1 in 100,000, then applying your logic would mean out of the 100 people who were identified positive, only 1 actually was accurate, thus makes the actual result of the device 99% false.

The 85% here is likely to refer to that out of the positive results, there is a 15% false-positive rate.

Medical screening device accuracies aren't calibrated to how rare the actual disease is.
While folks are building these new mods and such, don't forget to look back to existing UT properties for ideas. Unreal 2 XMP is still one of the best team-based FPS setups I've seen. Sadly, it never recovered after they shut down the directory servers to try to force everyone to switch to Unreal 3.
Looks like I should have read the Capsule Github page. I didn't realize Capsule was caching the project dependencies. I could certainly see that making projects much faster to deploy.

Aren't the app servers and the embedded servers the same servers just configured differently? Standalone it is configured with XML and and embedded it is configured with Java code. It doesn't seem to me like there is much of a set up difference.

As far as I can tell, it comes down who cares more about the settings for the server, the people who maintain the machines or the people who maintain the code. If those people are the same then it sounds like it really doesn't matter.
