"Forgiveness is a gift. Trust is earned."

The opening paragraph strikes me as just nuts. You don't create a trusting atmosphere like that. That is the opposite of what it takes to create real trust. Thus, honestly, I really did not read beyond that. I kind of skimmed but just really could not get into it.
What about the weekends? It only take an hour to two to get some darker skin. It's not rocket science.

Being a lazy person by nature, at least when it comes to things I do not care about, I always took outline style notes on a computer. I think the key to note taking is not necessarily the implement you use but rather how you take the notes. I found that any word processor that allows you to build a bullet list works just fine.

That being said, I can not tell you how many of my Law School classmates literally transcribed the entire lecture. Sometimes it was kind of nice though, because if I miss a class, I could borrow the notes from someone, read them, and take my notes based on that. I always tried to limit my notes to one typed page per hour (10 pint).

As a side hint, to any one who might be in school right now. I used to scan all of my books at the beginning of the semester into my computer. I had a little book scanner, and it would take about 1-1.5 hours per book, I would watch TV or listen to an audiobook while scanning. That way you don't have to drag heavy books around with you, and instead, you can have nice, searchable textbooks any time you need them, on your laptop. Of course, if you are less than honest, or just exceedingly poor, you could also borrow the books from the library rather then buy them. Of course, I could not recommend that as it would mean braking the law :)
Whether it would float would depend on the equilibrium that the ecosystem gets in. For example, carbon dioxide is heavier than air, so if the ecosystem has lots of it, a balloon would have to expand quite a bit to compensate for that before it floats. And of course, any balloon must overcome its own weight before getting airborne.

That was my MO throughout high school and college. I watched countless students buried in a laptop or (paper) notebook furiously trying to keep up and undoubtedly not even processing phrases or sentences. Of the people I talked to, most were convinced that it's better than just listening, but I suspect they would find their memory is a lot better if they're actually comprehending strings of speech longer than two or three phonemes.

The only exception for me were courses that were heavy in symbolic manipulation, like calculus, statistics, and relational algebra. For those, the concepts are still easily gleanable from the textbooks, but I found that it's very helpful to follow along with the teacher on paper to practice the physical manipulation of symbols.
I am shocked and bummed about that. What trackball is available that is operated with pointer / middle finger rather than tiring out one's thumb?
Libertarians/conservatives launch hackathon
except the hurd runs on mach... i read a bunch of the hurd documentation a couple of years ago, including the paper by the people who tried porting it to L4.

i also tried installing the debian port on an old desktop but had some driver issues. i guess most people run it in a hypervisor.

there are a lot of architectural advantages to putting all drivers in user space. the hurd isn't really totally comparable to plan 9 (because it runs on a microkernel) or minix (because it's thought of as being independent of the any partciular microkernel). but it seems like the community/political issues -- plus the amount of cruft that's bound to accumulate in a codebase that old -- has nearly slowed to project to a grinding halt, which is a kind of a shame.
Hiya person lurking :).

Other then going into the details of the contents of what I wrote, I can't think of much more to write there.

Do you have anything you'd like to know?
If you like MongoDB then MongoLab or MongoHQ.

If you like CouchDB then Cloudant.

If you want realtime then Firebase.

All are very reasonably priced.
You're not actually supposed to have doExactlyOneSpecificThing methods in AppleScript. Instead, you are supposed to have a small number of verbs that can operate on a large number of objects and their properties. It was REST before there was REST. Unfortunately, this design principle was often misunderstood by those writing scripting interfaces for applications.

It also didn't help that Apple provided very little support for implementing the language's rich query model, which led to many applications only implementing one or two ways to access objects, often with bugs. That was the source of most of the annoyances with AppleScript.
Woefully inadequate. Mohammad doesn't make the list?
Now we need a "P2P Taxi Meter" for drivers and a "Kayak for P2P Rides" for passengers.
Interesting point rhizome -- I guess it can be looked at that way, but the problem is that at the initial stage, we want to the companies more then they want us.

Then the question becomes, just because other people are dropping the ball, does that mean you're not going to get what you want?
It is somewhat supported at the moment, but it's experimental and we may remove the support for it. Reflection always carries an overhead in terms of binary size and as a result many of us feel that it's inappropriate for a low-level systems language like Rust.
HyperTalk was surprisingly ok, though.
I think you were being downvoted because some people (myself included) roll their eyes when they hear about Javascript yet again. It goes double when there is a good language already out there (I accept Objective C with its warts. Swift actually has me excited to make something).

It actually kind of cool. And the Temperature Converter example showed a lot of the dynamic nature of the objective C runtime. This one presentation actually piqued my interest in looking at os x scripting.
The AAA game developers we've talked to are universally in agreement that the lack of garbage collection and the fine-grained control over memory that Rust provides are extremely important for game development.
Do you believe Catholic churches (or monasteries/convents) outside of Italy / Vatican City, mosques outside of Saudi Arabia, and temples outside of Israel are also novelties?
If anyone is interested in a meetup about Rust's growing gaming infrastructure, we are having a meetup on 6/26 (http://www.meetup.com/Rust-Bay-Area/events/171111672/) and a hackathon on 6/28 (http://www.meetup.com/Rust-Bay-Area/events/183377112/). If you can't make it in person, we will be streaming the meetup over https://air.mozilla.org, where you can watch it live.
Looks awesome! Not sure I love the colour scheme, but overall a huge improvement. Unfortunately I'm an Android user. Hope to see this come there sometime soon :)
I never understood the cutesy naming schemes. What's wrong with .filter or .where.
If I were a Mac user I could really get behind this if only for the fact that it means support for any language that can compile to Javascript (particularly Clojure)

Here is a combination of social news and cryptocurrencies I did with Telescope last autumn: http://bloqchan.com/

It is democracy for capitalists - you vote with your money!

We are searching for somebody who would like to help us with developing and marketing (also rebranding and designing).

Next step is to integrate it with our Dogecoin browser wallet and make one-click sharing (while browsing) possible together with the already existing 'one-click' upvoting https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dogecoin-browser-w...

Ultimate goal is to let the tipping culture go mainstream and deeply revolutionize how content discovery + creation monetization works!

BTW: We are also developing a blockchain-based 'backend' for social news with integrated crypto-currency. Distributed and censorship-free.

Leave a message on bloqchan with your thoughts please!
I think drdaeman meant _certificates_ and not _servers_. One certificate can be used on multiple servers, but you can't create multiple certificates “for free“ on Comodo,Gandi or GlobalSSL. You're charged for every cert.

I'm using StartSSL verified, it costed me 99$ (personal verification) plus 99$ (company certification), and I can create any certificate I want, at any time, valid for two years and wildcard included.

Since my company provides custom subdomains for clients, and every client can have multiple subdomains on his own subdomain, we can't afford the price for every client. (I know we should charge them, but this issue is out of my hand).

The 25$ revocation fee sucks, yeah.. but StartSSL has his advantages too.

(edit: typo.)
I'm afraid the existing body of software patents dictates not placing such ideas in the public domain, but rather as a form of "patent left" foundation that can force cross licensing access.
On i386 and amd64 on essentially all operating systems there is some kind of thread description structure that is accessible through one of segment registers which contains low-level thread context, some way to get to thread ID and user-accessible space for thread local variables (or pointer to such space). Getting some kind of thread ID is thus only about one "mov dest, [?S: some offset]", which is what both pthread_self() on linux and GetCurrentThreadId() on windows does (note that linux stores pointer to pthread_t in there, windows stores some opaque number that you have to convert to handle yourself if you need handle. The point is that in both cases the function does not do any kind of involved computation as would be the case if it had to traverse list of currently running threads).

This mechanism is essentially the only reason why amd64 in long mode still has limited support (complete enough to implement this, nothing much more) for segment registers.
Scripting a web browser, perhaps? :)

Trivium: ammonia is known as R-1. Refrigerant 1. Freon is generally R-12.
It's a case of "keep repeating it and maybe it'll be true, someday, err, I hope". It's something you often see when people make mental investments into certain paths/things/ideas. And then they have to keep repeating it, both in order to try make it true, and to shield themselves from reality. Sort of like node.js
At http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/performance/ , Apple advertises Thumderbolt 2 as 25x faster than FireWire 800. Thunderbolt 2 has bandwidth of 20 Gbps, which is 25 times FireWire 800's 800 Mbps.
Using NameCheap above instead would cost you $200/year, instead of $0/year + $600 for a black swan event. "Replace ALL your SSL certificate" events seem to happen less often than once every three years.
I'll prolly have the Linux version out by then ;)
You can't just cap cryogenic materials. As they heat they want to expand.

LNG is _compressed_ not _cooled_. If you're providing _compression_ for a liquid, it can be maintained.

Consider the equivalent: a sealed vessel in which you're boiling water. Eventually it's going to find a weak point. Just because the boiling point here is well below normal ambient temperatures doesn't mean you aren't still getting a 1000:1 expansion ratio from liquid to gas.

And again: venting ammonia is very fraught as it's corrosive and toxic at fairly low concentrations -- it'll burn your lungs off from the inside.
Language detection isn't something I would rely on. Especially since a lot of emails don't contain much text. (Likely even less so with your test message.) Looks like they're using the languagedetect[1] module which also returns a confidence score. This would be a helpful thing to include in the results.

Chances are you didn't get to be a billionaire by throwing away $5k if it's easily recoverable.
You're right, even if you're still running efficiently on all cores, it's still Python. I actually make this exact point in a separate presentation that I did a few weeks ago: https://speakerdeck.com/trent/parallelism-and-concurrency-wi...

Numba is one option -- rather than executing the CPython innards, have it switched out for an LLVM-optimized kernel instead.
We shouldn't blame patent trolls for acting the way they do in the same way that we shouldn't blame banks and stockbrokers for acting the way they do.

If there is big money to be made, and it's legal, somebody is going to do it - and if it's not you, well, your loss.

This is, and always has been, a problem of bad legislation. It is a structural problem in the system. The human race would save so much time, money, and energy if it tackled problems at their root instead of dossing around in the details, oblivious to the actual issue.
Should I leave America if I don't like the NSA? Or when Google follows suit (as they already seem to be doing) do I have no other choice than to drop out of the culture? What about when all phones are smart, and there's no payphones left? Should I get all of my family to just move closer to me?

>you've got plenty of options if you don't like the way Apple does business.

This is a lie by oversimplification.

edit: this is the dystopia of months in the future, not years. You're announcing when you shit, and announcing when you sleep, and announcing who you sleep with, to the vendor of your phone.

edit2: I'm honestly shocked that this is a minority opinion. It's not going to be X is on 509 Main Street, it's going eventually going to be X is in the bathroom at 509 Main Street. What possible consumer benefit could that have? Is it to help you find local businesses that appeal to your interests?

I have to assume that I'm just out of touch and people love the attention. I don't.
This is about as simple as an API goes. What did you expect to see exactly?

I tend to do that with multiprocessing queues, but at some point the serialisation becomes the bottleneck.

Another way is to use a faster serialiser (marshal, ujson) and write them to files on SSDs with flock, but again a trick that's slower than real datasharing like java and go.
Ah, I just reviewed the slides... looks like I don't actually mention __readfsbase(), I thought I did. Basically, on amd64, you can just read the base address of one of the FS/GS segment registers and that'll be guaranteed to be unique amongst all threads in a given process.

(Funnily enough that intrinsic doesn't (or didn't at the time) appear to be exposed by MSVC, so I just stuck with __readfsdword(0x48) on Windows.)
If you get a human mad at you they will try to wipe out your entire race so I feel it is a bit of a toss up.
What about when they lobby to keep the current patent system in place. Can we blame them then, or is that the nature of the game, too?
Well, if they think that about SQL, they are wrong.

SQL is more like math than natural language. That it is declarative doesn't make it like Applescript.
The very idea that lobbying is a) a thing, and b) a thing that works is a failure of the political system in a massive but completely unsurprising way.

Steve Silberman is the author of this article.
Can you elaborate? Why would putting the technologies in the public domain not work?
This is really cool. Combine this with IPV6 and decentralized DNS and it will be very hard to censor the internerd.
Stock chromium browser on a G2 android. Yeah, old. Android 2.3.4. Still, it's rare that I can't view a mobile site.
100% agree.

I always take notes by hand. I have tried doing on the computer and by hand. By hand is better. There are 2 advantages the way I see it:

1) The motor effects of moving the pen somehow help me remember the information better. It is as if I later remember moving the pen on paper when I have to recall the information. It is very likely that I just trained myself this way over many years.

2) I can sketch. I have a very visual memory and quite often I doodle diagram. Arrows connecting to boxes. A little graph with a relationship can be drawn and visualized very quickly when it might take a whole paragraph to describe.
Well, it does say that a fog machine is used, so it looks like there aren't "real" clouds; at least not in the sense that they're overwhelmingly water vapor.

Still cool though.
1) He didn't say "implementing it" is simple. Just that the language (using it, getting started with it) is simple.

2) Vendors get a lot of benefits by NOT providing a standard implementation (lock-in, for one).

3) It's not like everybody runs around implementing every new standard that comes out. Vendors have their own timelines and priorities. Heck, we've waited how many years for CSS3 to be implemented? (and it's still missing full support...).
I think the Wikipedia app on Android actually looks pretty good, especially on my 7 inch Nexus tablet.

I'm looking forward for this one to be ported someday. I'd pay a couple bucks for it even.
I'd be interested in hearing from a hacker planning on attending this conference, their rationale?
But you still need to get out to the main internet somehow right? And then whichever poor sap has an outgoing connection is going to end up sharing it with everyone else and get cops coming to his door about the child porn.
Could you explain why you feel qualified to judge so thoroughly? Living in San Francisco, I know a number of California Buddhists. As with any religion, a wide variety of people are attracted to it. But I know plenty of sincere and thoughtful practitioners, so I think your views are not totally correct.
I think because everyone is free to extend the public domain via patents. So a researcher at Panasonic or Bosch could tweak something in the codec corpus and patent the tweak.
> There’s been similar interest for FireChat in Iran. Users in the country have started 1,800 FireChat groups, according to Open Garden, making Iran the second biggest user of the app after the United States. India, Brazil and Mexico follow close behind, and Open Garden says people in Cairo and on the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq are using the app too.

Oh god. What have they done? Please tell me they have encrypted the communication between users by now.

> H.264 doesn't use the DCT

H264's transform is integer a DCT approximation— optimized to only use small multiplies and shifts—, some may say that its far enough that it ought not be called a DCT anymore, though at least after correcting for scaling I wouldn't agree. In any case, it shares DCT's advantages and disadvantages.
Apple has a lot of money they could use to finance lobbying for patent reform. Maybe this will help them see the wisdom in that.

> Chances are you didn't get to be a billionaire by throwing away $5k if it's easily recoverable.

Even better chances are you probably did a basic cost analysis and didn't just go based on hunches.

And best chance yet, you probably inherited the billions.
It creates a bad impression of Meteor when you click the first link in the demo that contains a couple hundred comments and the entire browser freezes for 8 seconds:
http://demo.telesc.pe/

Don't make the mistake of trying to open the Firefox debugger on that page either or the freezing lasts even longer.

That one page makes 807 HTTP requests totaling 953KB to display about 20KB of text.
I agree (as does the article) that Jobs seems to have missed the compassion thing. But I think it's wrong to say his death was a good thing.

Before death, there's always a chance for people to learn. After, not so much.

Further, although Apple's approach to business is not particularly compassionate, I would have a hard time saying that they are worse than their competitors. Indeed, I think they're better in their focus on making something excellent. That's not everything I'd want, but I think it's better for all concerned than the usual corporate half-assery.
I am 49. I can't help but wonder at aspects like "How does age/culture of the person in question impact this outcome?" I mean, I grew up with a rotary phone and a pet dinosaur, not a jillion and one ADHD-inducing distractions. I imagine I would take notes different from most of you young whippersnappers.

If we didn't find patent trolls worthy of blame, where would the motivation to stamp out their behavior come from?
The root cause of lots of bad legislations can be linked to corporate bribes (lobby)... which is legal in the USA.
