While it's quite off topic, what's with FF version numbers? I mean just a few years back it was FF 3, 4, 5, and while I am not using it daily, I don't think it's a major change every time.

Twitter is not a blog, and tweets are not blog posts. If you were reffering to that.

That said, sure, many people would want to limit characters on a blog. But it's THEIR choice to do so (e.g keep a laconic tumblr style blog), not something forced upon them by the people they communicate with.

And a blog is not a platform for collaboration. Often it's not even open for discussion (close comments etc).

Each blog is its own universe, and you can eithe read it or not.

Emails, we get from tons of places, including people we don't work with directly or are not our close friends, and we cannot just shove "keep it short" to them.

If your Ph.D advisor or an interested VC sends you an email, would you like for him to get a "keep it under 350 words" autoreply? Or do you want your depressed friend, who wrote a 5-page email to explain his fears to you, to get that?
Nice one! Going to give it a try with my family :)
You can't hear the fast lane/slow lane (or the hilarious fast lane and faster lane counter from the ISP's) and not see that they are indeed aiming for a tiered system can you?
edit: Jack Poulson's Elemental, and Andreas Waechter's IPOPT are also written in C++, and are both very important libraries within scientific computing and optimization, to add a few more examples of the usefulness of C++.

I'm trying to make the point that C++ occupies a weird place in the abstraction-vs-performance tradeoff.

For high abstraction and friendliness, C++ doesn't do nearly as nice of a job as MATLAB or Python in exposing high-level scientific computing operations.

For performance, C++ does have some really nice high-performance libraries (Eigen comes to mind), but for the majority of use cases, you either need to write inline assembly to get the best possible speed, or you're already reusing a fast numerical kernel from another library, and you may be better off in a higher-level language.

This is a very subjective discussion, and there are many interesting, fast, C++ libraries that do important work for science. But your claim that C++ is the best language for such work would be highly contested by many high performance computing specialists. As it is, I believe there's a pretty rough split between C, C++, and Fortran supporters, with Python continuing to gain traction.

Here's another counter-argument. MPI is used in 99% of all scientific high performance computing codes. The latest version of MPI, MPI-3, drops explicit support for C++ bindings. If C++ was so dominant, why would explicit bindings be dropped?
IANAL.

I think it's appropriate to enshrine corporate structure & responsibilities, ownership percentages, and asset allocation in the incorporation document. I don't think that's the place for the compensation agreement, because it's much harder to change (e.g. has to be filed with the State). I think the right thing would be to have an LLC agreement covering incorporation, and individual employment contracts for each partner to cover compensation matters. That way they can be changed easily based on consent of all parties.

HOWEVER: This leaves you open to one partner not consenting to change an unexpectedly unfair situation. Include in the incorporation agreement a mechanism to resolve such disputes, as well as a mechanism to remove a partner for cause. A lawyer can provide language binding in your jurisdiction.

Oh...yeah. Having an up-front agreement on what happens if a partner gets paid out, but at a later time there's a claw-back from the customer, is a good idea.

And I agree with jesusmichael: you probably don't want to 1099 an owner/partner. Kinda defeats the purpose. I think a periodic distribution based on individuals work product is allowed, but I recall there are rules about how and how often you can do it. A tax accountant can explain all the details and options. IANAA(accountant).
Defer is basically finally without block structure, triggered instead by the popping of the surrounding procedural call context. So instead of a block, you have to create a new function instead to unwind...how is the extra complexity of avoiding simple block structure worth it?

And what is the equivalent of catch if we have an equivalent of finally? It seems to be recover, which allows a deferred execution to query what exception has occurred, correct? Is there a good discussion of why this is better than try/catch/finally?
Few investors would give up diversification for potentially good profits on stocks that have been dropping like a stone.

Also look at this from the company's perspective: companies, wanting high evaluations so they can sell off their own stock at a profit, might try to actively push themselves up the "moral index"/"popularity index" - that's a win for the common folk.
They might as well have addressed that letter to hacker news with a cc to verizon. Well executed PR move.

I've not seen the film but I have heard Penn discuss it to some extent and I believe he has made it clear that the idea in a general sense and certainly in particular to the use of a camera obscura well predate Tim's interest. Where Tim goes further than any example I'm aware of is in actually implementing and spending a significant amount of time testing a specific implementation to which Vermeer can reasonably be expected to have had access.
Clinical death is a lack of blood pulse and breathing. Hence the modern meaning of "resuscitation" for "rebooting the heart".

It hasn't been a synonym for "death" for a few decades.

"Brain death" is a total and irreversible loss of brain function.

Mozilla adopted a rapid release cycle, similar to what Google does with Chrome. Everyone is always automatically updated and version numbers are less significant.
Amazon or Hachette: Which Would George Washington Choose?
I'd like to know why to use this over ZeroMQ. Yes, ZeroMQ has its own protocol (which libchan's README points out), but I haven't found that protocol to get in the way, because in the end you're just sending text down the ZeroMQ socket and ZeroMQ's protocol is almost entirely "behind the scenes" so to speak.

I do understand why Docker would create this for their own use, because having a dependency on messaging libraries (where people tend to have varying opinions) wouldn't be the greatest for a wildly popular open source project. I'm just trying to figure out why others would want to use this.

I'm all for more tools in this space, though I like to make sure a tool exists for reasons other than "not invented here" before I learn yet another messaging library.
This is simply PR BS without a separate IP:

"Kurn said no, anymore than Starbucks is liable for illicit behavior by the customers who use its in-store hotspots."

The separate IP is the key here when it comes to network isolation. If there is no separate IP, the customer will be held liable for illegal use, despite Comcast's ridiculous denial. Starbucks doesn't have to worry about being sued or prosecuted for the crimes of its customers because it has plenty of billions to defend itself. Joe Smo, your average end user who probably hasn't read the mail or e-mail about this and has no clue that it's on, should worry as he would be a target for other corporations lawsuits and even criminal prosecution. Without a separate IP and separate audit, he's going to get sued or thrown into jail. The authorities don't look kindly on such things as kiddy porn and won't care that it was some stranger using your wifi from across the street.
As scott_karana mentioned, Firefox has been doing "rapid release" since 2011. https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease There are 3 channels: Aurora (alpha), Beta, and Release. Every 6 weeks, stable features are pushed into the next channel. So there is a new release every 6 weeks, and if you want to live in the future, you can use the Beta or Aurora channel. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/

Edit: do you really want your grandkids to be stuck with version 5? :)

Here's how you would implement basic RPC-style request/response.

On the client:

var ch libchan.Sender

// Send a message, indicate that we want a return channel to be automatically created
ret1, err := ch.Send(&libchan.Message{Data: []byte("request 1!"), Ret: libchan.RetPipe})

// Send another message on the same channel
ret2, err := ch.Send(&libchan.Message{Data: []byte("request 2!"), Ret: libchan.RetPipe})

// Wait for an answer from the first request. Set flags to zero
// to indicate we don't want a nested return channel
msg, err := ret1.Receive(0)
fmt.Printf("Received answer: %s\n", msg.Data)

On the server:

var ch libchan.Receiver

// Wait for messages in a loop
// Set the return channel flag,
// to indicate we want to receive nested channels (if any).
// Note: we don't send a nested return channel, but we could.
for {
msg, err := ch.Receive(libchan.Ret)
msg.Ret.Send(&libchan.Message{Data: []byte("this is an utterly useless response")})
}

Seeing as ISPs also receive money from the government and Netflix pays taxes, you could make the same pointless observation about Netflix and Verizon.

The brainstem is not needed to sustain the heart beat and blood pressure. It participates in its regulation, but both parameters have "sane defaults" without any input.

Furthermore, while necessary, the brainstem is not sufficient to sustain consciousness.

Third, phenobarbital at a sufficient dose completely wipes electric brain activity (metabloism goes on, at a lower pace).

Fourth, even if you suspend someone using the procedure described in the article, there is still residual biologic activity in the cells. Chemical reactions are slowed down, but not stopped.

Do we have any idea how long Vermeer spent painting the original? I speculate that Tim may have been willing and able to spend a lot more time on it. Also, the idea of spending more time than many would consider reasonable to accomplish something that others consider impossible is a recurring meme among magicians and stated often by Tim's friend Penn Jillette.
I'm always surprised when I read comments about how the Firefox devtools offer the best developer experience. Every single one of these new features (except searching the dom via CSS selectors or regex) have been available in Safari's Web Inspector for OS X for at least a year. Plus, I think the UI is more thought out and easy to use in Safari. Can someone explain what Safari's Web Inspector is lacking?

Humanoid Robot KOBIAN Learning to Be a Comedian
Hey, we (Dotcloud now Docker) have used zeromq a LOT in the past. The entire Dotcloud platform is based on Zerorpc (http://github.com/dotcloud/zerorpc) which is based on ZMQ.

Libchan is the spiritual child of zerorpc, so it is definitely informed by our experience using zeromq. The main experience was: it's awesome but does too much, too low in the stack, and it's too much of a black box to remove the parts we don't need.

Also, the inability to safely expose it on the public internet was a big problem. I know this has been addressed since then, but we don't want to use a separate protocol stack for that: we want to use the existing HTTP (soon HTTP2) and TLS middleware infrastructure. That's why libchan uses spdy/tls as its main network transport.

I doubt it will take that long to match what is considered the useful subset of Python libraries, if the language becomes popular.

What I've noticed from watching the Python, Ruby and Javascript module ecosystems approach and in some cases surpass CPAN (in terms of raw numbers of packages) is that there's a lot more programmers out there now, and a lot more existing implementations available in similar languages for just about anything you are attempting to do.
Awesome! We can always use more people using the Nightly or Beta channels. Just be aware that you are not getting production quality code.

In general Nightly has been very stable for me, but sometimes things sneak in that are annoying or simply broken. If you can live with that, then welcome to Nightly! :-)
It is trivial to spend much, much, much less money on parking than you seem to imagine is common. You don't need to park downtown, which is well-served by BART, Caltrain, Muni, etc. (and which is a nightmare to drive in anyway). Parking at a BART station is $2 per day.

If you want to spend thousands of dollars a year on unnecessary parking expenses for the dubious convenience of having a car downtown, hey, more power to you. But you clearly are not very driven by cost-consciousness.

No meaningful fraction of your insurance costs for your car cover the time it is parked, because your car is not meaningfully at risk when it is parked. You do, in fact, tell your insurance company how much you drive your car when you pick up your insurance. You don't get to do this on a week-by-week basis because of transactional costs[1], but it's part of the standard form you filled out when you got your insurance. Uber drivers need to carry much more, and more expensive, insurance than you do due to the fact that they drive much more (and routinely have strangers in their cars).

I can't imagine how you think that maintenance costs are driven down by driving more. Is it your contention that driving more makes your car work better?

[1] Actually, I think that some insurance companies are experimenting with monitoring devices in cars that give you a lower rate, so maybe this is becoming more possible. But I'm not at all familiar with the details.
Owning the car outright does not make you immune to depreciation cost.

I owned my previous car for 7 years. It depreciated $11,000 during that time. That's $1,571/year I'd need to add to my cost.
I like how Vermeer directs our focus by making things like the roof slightly out of focus, kind of an emulation of the effect of having peripheral vision. Tim's lacks this.

Also, the woman is facing the wrong way in Tim's.
Even if I bought all your negative emotions about ISPs[1], none of your scare scenarios are at all about the ISP charging more money to the customer depending on what websites they go to.[2]

Even right now, with whatever asshattery Verizon is doing, they haven't even peeped one single word about making the customers of theirs that use Netflix pay more money to Verizon.

"These people do bad things, so you should believe these other bad things I say they might someday do." Lots of people have made very good careers out of enraging the rabble that way.

[1] Your first link uses a bunch of Google searches as evidence, so I can't be 100% sure what it's talking about. But there's a decent chance it's this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7709910 forex

[2] The second article is about AT&T wanting to get the hell out of the wired communication business. Investors hate the wired business. One way or another you have to pay for that infrastructure, and talking about applying utility-level regulation to the companies eager to leave is not going to draw in new dollars.

Hi edelans,
very nice site, congrats! It would be nice if there was a public league so I don't need to join one.

You know... that's not a bad idea. So long as they refund (or more likely extend) the accounts for people accessing Netflix from those ISPs.

Or, maybe Netflix should intentionally limit the number of people that could access their service from a given ISP so that the overall quality is maintained? If you try to access the service and you get denied for ISP capacity reasons, then you'd get that day refunded.

They need to do something to make sure that the customer knows where the problem is. But, instead of playing too rough, I think publicly shaming the ISPs is the best approach. At least for now.

I'm still eagerly waiting for per tab volume control [0], a per tab activity monitor/profiler [1], the possibility to suspend tabs with practically no memory usage [2] and more options for searching the browsing history [3]. Besides that I find it counterintuitive that a revisit of an URL removes the entry of the previous visit. The result is an incomplete history. I wished they would change that.

It's a fine line to walk. Don't change enough and you hemorrhage developers due to not supporting new and interesting features and concepts, change too much and you you hemorrhage developers who don't want to start a new project to run into the same problems as the last one, where an upgrade caused headaches. FWIW I think Rust's tagging of breaking changes (and eventually making them easy to identify and fix) as stated in a same level comment is wise no matter the strategy.
