Hm. I said it was sad, not wrong.

Let's say you take direct inspiration for something you're working on and you know someone's been there and thought a lot about it. Wouldn't it make sense to ask them about it? It's certainly true that some mistakes are better learned by making them yourself, but a whole lot aren't. Hell, half the time it's just stuff you're too close to see anymore.

The Swift playground is strikingly similar to many of the things we've done in Light Table. It's wonderful that Apple is taking that and running with it and I want these things to end up out there and make things better for devs. But I could've helped them skip some of the crap along the way and I've worked with other large organizations to help them do exactly that.

> To suggest that your opinion is more valid than theirs is hubris.

My opinion is no more valid, but given that their work looks fairly like our own, I certainly have the benefit of past experience. This isn't about hubris. I have a unique perspective in this particular case, one that no one else will have, as the creator of one of the things they were "heavily influenced" by. I'd rather they took advantage of that so that they can continue to push things even further and not fall into some traps that we did at Microsoft and with LT itself.

In any case, I'm sorry I seem to have offended you. My goal is not self aggrandizement, it's just to help do my part in making things better for us all.
It is though; its all non-ionising radiation. Both the wifi and your phones broadcast information indiscriminately in the interest of connecting to infrastructure.

The similarity between the two shouldn't be ignored, since there's potential for the comparison between phone's and wifi devices to come up in legal proceedings (if they haven't already).
Maybe BitCore is closer to what you want. http://bitcore.io/

The best Net Neutrality proposal yet:

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230390880...

The passion of the net neut is not amenable to reason and is not meant to be. It is a striving after purity. Mr. Wheeler needs to meet them halfway. Hence a modest proposal:

Let the FCC name one day a year as Net Neut Freedom Day, in which schoolchildren dance around a maypole and celebrate ancient rites and chant about the need to ban any blocking, slowing or preferential access to Web content.

If necessary, let one child volunteer to wear a "net-neut violator" cap and be subjected to good-humored abuse in the public square, while net-neut adherents are allowed to get drunk, engage in minor vandalism and wear paper hats that say "Comcast."

I've never found they affect my battery life noticeably but I don't spend much time staring at my home screen[1]. Maybe some people do but my home screen is for quick access to information and launching off point for other apps so it doesn't get all that much screen time (and the live wallpaper isn't just running in the background).

1. Ok, that's a lie. When that live wallpaper that has an AI Super Mario that plays never ending levels came out I spent a lot of time looking at it and showing it to people. My Motorola Droid's battery didn't stand a chance.
There is a far more complete list of BSOD STOP codes, including links to relevant MSDN articles, at http://www.carrona.org/bsodindx.html

The Maximum PC article seems to be a reasonable troubleshooting guide from the brief look I had. In my experience mystery computer problems are (in rough order, not limited to Windows, YMMV) memory, power supply, physical problems (connectors, etc), and drivers.
I played the Escape from Time Travel Lab as a team building exercise and it was an awesome experience - I totally recommend it. I just wish they would put out more games!
A fun experiment for someone who isn't afraid of having their ISP, colocation provider, or VM provider terminate their account and/or sue them because ZOMG LOTS OF OUTBOUND TCP/25 CONNECTIONS MEANS A SPAMMER IS YOU:

• Take Google's list of mail domains they see (they offer a CSV file for download) and look up all of the mail exchangers for all of the domains.

• Remove duplicates from the list of MX hostnames.

• Write a short program that does the following for each of those mail exchangers:

- Connect to tcp/25, send a valid EHLO, and see if the server indicates that it supports STARTTLS.

- If it doesn't, disconnect and move on to the next hostname.

- Send STARTTLS and start a TLS session. Put a NULL cipher at the top of your client's ciphersuite list to see if anyone bites. Record the certificate chain the server sends.

- See if the leaf certificate is valid and if you can make it actually chain up to a trusted CA via the server's certificate chain.

- Disconnect.

You now have a list of some of the largest mail exchangers on the Internet, whether or not each one supports STARTTLS, and whether or not each one supplies a (valid) certificate that actually chains up to a CA anyone trusts. Write a blog post containing pretty graphs for these statistics. Poke fun at the most egregiously broken TLS configurations, certificates, and certificate chains you see. Idly wonder if the proliferation of (sometimes completely broken) opportunistic TLS with SMTP and the relative scarcity of authenticated TLS with SMTP will push passive attackers into becoming active attackers so they can continue to easily grab messages in-flight. Bemoan the broken CA system. Drink heavily. Dream.

Extremely excited about this language's versatility. Also great to see the work of my school's Alumni and professors going into production.

Worked very well for me, correctly guessing my dialect which is spoken by relatively few people (not one of the 'standard' ones). I definitely found this surprising, especially considering I haven't lived in my home country for the better part of a decade. Very cool.
Both of those options scale linearly and both can be forced to censor individual websites. Furthermore, proxies are by their very nature a MITM attack.

Speech.is performs frame resolution and as such cannot be forced into censoring specific sites nor become entangled in legal liability, as bit.pe and bit.no.com can.

Frame resolution offers better security guarantees out-of-the-box and will eventually be able to remove any security trade-offs.
I admit to doing the same thing with the Super Mario live wallpaper, and with a Droid 1. It ruined my battery, but it was worth it. I remember being able to turn on some switch that'd get it to display the path it was taking through a level, which was really cool to me. I miss that live wallpaper — the Droid less so (even though it's sitting on my desk because it's the only thing I have running Android 2.x).

Besides that, my argument is that if a you spend a lot of time in your launcher, it might affect battery life in a somewhat noticeable way. Typical usage should have you in another app most of the time, but that's speculation on my part. I could imagine folks using their launchers a whole lot if they were packed with widgets that did more than just display things, but I've never had a lot of luck finding widgets I liked. Ultimately, if you or anyone else is concerned about squeezing every possible minute out of your battery, your best bet might be to have a solid black static wallpaper. Mostly comes down to priorities.

Edit: http://android.ccpcreations.com/mariolive ⇐ I think that might be the same live wallpaper from back then? Can't verify it right now, and I'm wary of installing foreign APKs these days, so exercise caution.
I guess most people from "ebonics" postcodes who took this quiz and trained it are more educated than their neighbors so they ended up picking the US standard English options like you did.

Interesting! "I have a doubt" is also a common mistake for us Spanish speakers. This is because for us "tengo una duda" is an acceptable way of saying "I have a question".

Ticking both "she'll be right" and "it'll be OK" was probably the big giveaway.
There's a good deal of nuance to these sorts of questions. For example, police may look at your house from the street in the visible spectrum, but may not look at your house from the street in the infra-red spectrum without a warrant.
I'm not saying it's not an issue. I just didn't find the article informative in any way.

And I was jokingly poking fun at the HN community, which obviously seemed to hit home to a lot of people.

Why would Australians say this? Is it because for them an exam is a "she"? (disclaimer: not a native English speaker myself, though the test guessed "American English (Standard)").
Being Australian, I selected that answer but it actually guessed I was a New Zealander first (2 and 3 were Australian and South African respectivly)

A very strange argument from authority considering Ken Thompson is one of Go's designers...

Considering the fact that 700 people attended the inaugural Go conference, and the variety of speakers (http://gophercon.com/schedule/), I think it's safe to say that Go has gained traction far beyond the Google employee and HN "bubbles".
One question in particular got me thinking that this quiz could also identify people with a scientific background, who read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy, or in general people not inclined towards future shock:

> Fill in the blank. Check all correct answers.

> The sun is in ________.

> ☑ the sky

> ☑ a sky

> ...
I thought the same, then decided to answer the questions with the assumption that I didn't require a tortured situtation to make something grammatical. There's always an edge case, but the quiz was looking for common use.

Also, where I am, a sporty person can either play 'in' or 'on' the soccer team, no parasite required.

This is meaningless. We all know what they think 'collecting' means in the first place.

It sounds to me like you're conceding the argument.

In fact, it runs directly counter to your stated ambitions.
Declaring Closures in Swift
I don't think OpenGL or D3D or 3D programmers deal with 'parallelization' much. There are very common things that have to be done that in reality are mathematically parallel, but are basically one unit in the API, such a texture, or geometry surface and transformations. It is true complexity, in multi-graph fashion. So, even if we didn't have massively paralle GPUs, we would still come up with same exact abstractions, not because we are not good at thinking massively parallel, but because there is no need to rewrite a loop over a matrix a billion times.
Couldn't agree more. I just took the plunge and backed the new Mod-t printer on Indiegogo. I previously had experience with the Luzlbot and the Makerbot Replicator.

It is nearly impossible to compare to printers if you are looking to buy. There are "specifications" but they really don't tell you what you want to know: how good will my prints come out?

Printers tell you they have 0.Xmm vertical resolution, but even that doesn't tell you what you want to know. Some good printers have "lower resolution" than some bad printers. Then there is the matter of support material, PLA vs ABS, extruder size, calibration, print speed, etc.

I hope soon we will be able to compare 3D printers as objectively as a hard drive or cell phone.

I'm hoping they move CodeLens from being a VS Ultimate only feature to the lower editions (Premium maybe?) in '14' as it looks really powerful but the pricing on Ultimate is pretty far outside of most developers' reasonable expense range.
