I can confirm that at least as of 2012 or so they were storing passwords as a salted md5 hash. I did point out to a staff member that this was not a good idea and was brushed off, so I assume this hasn't changed since then.
My first thought was: "this is for sexting".

The reason why the tag line is not "You show me yours I show you mine" escapes me.
The article perpetrates The myth of any working hour is equal. Actually its energy which limits the amount of work person does, and if we add more hours the same amount of work gets done spread on more hours, of course there are exceptions to this rule like where you just sit and wait and do some standard routine when someone comes like selling tickets when number of customers is low enough that your working speed doesn't matter.

The reason we have 40 hour workweek is that industrialists realized it maximizes the productivity of physical labor, and its studied quite through out.
In mental labor the studies say that maximizing long term productivity is even lower than that. You get more done for a week if you add additional hours for a week, however within week or two your productivity dips so that you produce LESS than when you were working 40 hour week.
If we add commute to 40 hour workweek, and count the stuff people must do to keep their self in working condition and not too smelly, there is less than 40 hours of leisure time.
I just did Excel out of what I want to do in a week and what I MUST do (like eat, sleep...)
Then end result was 187 hours a week, unfortunately for me there is only 168 hours in a week.
> False. The software running on your Android phone's application processor is not open source.

You're skipping over an important practical distinction: The precise software running on the application processor may not be open source, but it is closely related to usable software that is. Given that, it's possible to learn quite a bit by comparing the behavior of the closed-source fork and the open-source base.

Is that as good as "open source all the way down"? Of course not. But it is a hell of a lot better than the "opaque binary blobs all the way down" offered by most of the alternatives.
My take-aways from reading the Second Machine Age
People need to take the efficient market hypothesis seriously when using stock prices for things like this.

The announcement of a new CEO (or more realistically, the rumors preceding the announcement) already given the market a chance to adjust based on their expectations of the CEO. So what the study really shows is that highly paid CEOs tend to perform less well than the market would expect. This might be because they perform worse. It might also be because they perform better, but not by as large a margin as the market expected.

I'm a Javascript/Python/Ruby professional, and have made a few really swell SPA's in JS.

But my dream is to be a really good Clojure(Script) lisp programmer. I'm not so good at any lisp, but have went thru a couple of books, try to do every tutorial and to play in the LightTable instarepl and implement things that I can easily do in JS.

How can I, who am far from a lisp pro, get a job in a lisp/clojure shop? I think by doing something 8h/day in a team is the best way to learn, but of course no one will hire you if you slow down the rest (at least in the beginning).
Just a few hours ago I have run into a weird bug in IE 11. I am guessing some cookie values are cached and this is leading to unpredictable behaviour in my app. Seems to disappear when I have the dev tools open or when I clear the browser.

IE8 -> IE9 -> IE10 was fraught with stability issues that didn't go away till I upgraded to 11.

I get it that all browsers have bugs but somehow IE seems to lead the pack.
That is answered in the FAQ.

The bad Latin is bad enough that anyone can credibly state that it's a hugely unlikely coincidence, but still only a coincidence.

Well, at that point the argument becomes irrefutable. "The fact that the evidence is weak is actually making it stronger, because they have to make it look weak."

This is Bible Code stuff. I'm unconvinced.
They have been delaying, but they have also hired several of the developers from CraftBukkit, which did create a plugin API for Minecraft. Their experience with CraftBukkit showed that they had created the API too soon. The code is messy and not amenable to mods.

The 1.8 update, currently in development, has added features, but it has mostly focused on refactoring and cleaning code. For example, they recently rewrote the entire block id system, removing numerical ids and instead using namespaced identifiers. This will allow mods to coexist rather than try to claim the same block ids.
Yes. A law could be a secret law if it was not created in a public way but was still acted upon by the authorities as if it were any other law.

It's an easy concept.

If you don't think we have secret laws then that's a debate we can have, but please don't pretend not to understand the idea. We have secret courts. We have people unable to know the charges or evidence against them. We have press gags on reporting what some court cases are about (let alone the evidence or the defendents' identities), we have press gags on even reporting that some cases exist! We have security services operating beyond any democratic legal mandate based on political 'guidance'. These effectively make up a secret and hidden system of law.

You obviously need to read more Kafka.

Windows8 to be precise.

There's also a "mana" word in Eastern European languages ( http://dexonline.ro/definitie/mana - it's an archaic-regional word, not new or imported from French/English!), VERY polysemantic, with some distantly similar meanings, and with some negative connotations, usually listed everywhere as having either a Greek or a Slavic root (мана), but also fond in older Bible translations... so a Hebrew -> Slavic -> (...) route might be possible. And this is way older than Mircea Eliade's rediscovery and popularization of the Austronesian word.

99% coincidence, but who knows, we might even have a common origin of Indo-European and Austronesian languages showing up it's head here...

Reminds me of the 2000+ years old Sanskrit word "avatar" that also got a whole new meaning in the digital world :)
IE still represents abut 20% of Browser usage, it's still more than Firefox and a lot more than Safari.

You never know, the new direction MS is taking with regards to openness may bear its fruits. It's going to take a lot for MS to regain its past market shares, but personally, I'd prefer if it stayed around and compete with the other browsers.

I don't want Chrome to end-up being the new IE.

This is also something I'm curious about, particularly how migrations are managed within a team. Most of the solutions I've seen require writing plain SQL in migration files which you name yourself. It's simple but I miss the productivity of DjangoORM or ActiveRecord for example.

This is the sort of stuff I would love to work on, as an engineer. Amazing new applications of technology coupled with a truly meaningful purpose.
This will seem more harsh than intended, but there's no easy way to say
it; I would need to be extremely interested to knowingly give my email
address to a marketing-research email-collection landing page, and if a
supposedly new company was unwilling or unable to create a simple
product announcement web page without using something like unbounce.com,
then I'd consider them incompetent.

Let's pretend I'm a busy consultant (I'm not, but I was in a past life).
Would I trust my time tracking and billing to supposed company building
a web service when they can't even create a simple web page? Or set up
their own webserver? --I'm sure you can see my point.

I'm guessing you've used an unbounced template?

With slightly older browsers, the template is broken.

Firefox 18: http://designtools.org/pix/txio.png

Chrome/Chromium 24: http://designtools.org/pix/txio-chrome.png

It's even worse in a text-based browser (for impaired vision), since the
curly brackets "{ }" don't do what you want, and seem like an error of
some sort:

http://designtools.org/pix/txio-text.png

The text reads pretty good. I'd use "Txio Is Launching Soon!" rather
than using "We" --Other than the URL, I've got no clue who "we" is until
I get to the bottom of the page.

For some unknown reason, the first line seems a little rough, and worse,
I have no idea why it seems a little rough.

"We're working hard on helping busy consultants find more time ..."

Maybe something like:

"We help busy consultants find more time ..."

"We help busy consultants save time ..."

"We enable busy consultants find more time ..."

"We enable busy consultants to save time ..."

The one thing that Patrick (patio11) does remarkably well is he
communicates the benefits of his service without getting bogged down in
the details of the features. But, he also communicates the features in
very simple language. e.g. "You'll save time by ..."

You've done a good job of stating the benefits, but you've left off any
real mention of the "how and why" you're able to provide those benefits.
After reading through it multiple times, the most I can divine is you've
built some kind of time-tracking and invoicing program/service. Why is
your offering better than what I'm currently using? How is your offering
better than what I'm currently using?

Though there are plenty of products/services in the time-tracking and
invoicing market, it's huge market, and no one has really solved the
drudgery of it (well, as far as I know, but I haven't looked in a very
long time). Good Luck!
> 99% coincidence, but who knows, we might even have a common origin of indo-european and Austronesian languages showing up it's head here...

This isn't possible given the timescales involved. Constant language change means there's no way to distinguish hypothetically identical-by-descent words that diverged so long ago from unsurprising identical-by-coincidence words. What cannot be detected in theory cannot usefully be said to exist at all.

In sum, an even more ancient common origin of ancient language families cannot be described as "showing itself" anywhere, since there's nothing left to be seen.
Apple store down for updates

Nobody but the nerdiest of phone users bothered to ever connect their phones to a PC and over-the-air updates were not supported. The risk of malware signed with the key showing up was probably weighted against the hassle updating everything would have caused.
Yeah, I'm sorry I completely missed the link to that.

Regarding linking, did they require linking or just content that talks about the product?
On S60 there was no separate baseband chip to my understanding, the Symbian kernel was responsible of driving the radio as well. This was said to give Nokia a competitive advantage, as most of the competing smartphone OSes required separate baseband chip with a firmware of its own, which drove costs up back then. Such chips are inside SoCs of course these days and cost next to nothing anyway.

The $100-per-app bounty was clearly an embarrassment.

What kind of apps did they think to get with this? Some more fart apps? Cause that is about as complex an app as you can get by spending 100 bucks on a developer.

100 bucks gets you between 1 or 2 hours of a freelancers time. There is not really that much that could be done in that time frame.

Either MS was completely naive when setting that bounty or they of course realized that this would just help inflating the total app numbers in the store. Better not mention how many of those are pure crap when boasting about how much the app store has grown in the next press release etc.
Did you actually read the article? It sounds like you're in violent agreement with the author.
Thanks for the considered response. I think I have a much better handle now on why it seemed like a good idea to you and a bad idea to me.

The disconnect is that we see Rethink in different ways. You're looking at it, in this context, as Rethink + ReQL combining into a "tool for data analysis".

When I look at Rethink I see "Place to put my data".

My viewpoint pretty much ignores ReQL as anything more than "Means to get my data out of the thing". Which, thinking harder about it, is wrong. You guys are looking to make ReQL more than that. My viewpoint is too heavily influenced by the way I think about things like CouchDB.

I normally don't go in for value judgements about people's viewpoints, but I think in this case yours has to be declared objectively correct. Given that it's your product and I'm just a guy that's been an interested observer for a while, but has never actually used it in anger.

So, thanks for helping me get it. Word nerds unite!

As long as Microsoft continues improving IE the way they have been I'm not going to get my undies in a bunch over a little astroturfing.
No kidding. I also have weird IE bugs on sites that work flawlessly in other older browsers.
I hope now everyone sees the Penny-Arcade reviews in a totally different light, too (and by the way, Gabe has already admitted to getting lots of free stuff from Microsoft).
If it's so good, then they don't need to pay for astro-turfing now? That strategy comes from a position of weakness, not strength.

At least Chrome is constantly updated, is fast, and most parts of it (certainly the important parts) are open source... If there's going to be a browser monoculture, Chrome seems like the best option at the moment...
In my experience it helps if you can demonstrate the impact of your maintenance work. "Cleaned up the configuration" is worth something. "Improved the configuration to make a certain class of misconfiguration, which has caused several outages in the past, impossible" is worth much more.

IMHO impact is really what matters most. I think where some people go astray is they rewrite a block of code but fail to convince the committee that there was a real, tangible benefit to the company in doing so. I don't believe this is a problem with the promo process- I think you get better engineering outcomes when people can justify the impact of their work. (People like to rewrite things, even things that don't need to be rewritten!)
Very cool. If anybody needs a Python implementation: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/02257ea2ccf776c1a32e
That's because IE development is typically around 2 years behind the others. So they can only "brag" about stuff others have already had for a while, but try to spin the features as new.
Maybe we could think up a middle ground: let's have a manned "commander plane" surrounded by a swarm of drones. If the planes are closer to each other, maybe the bandwidth would be less of an issue?

The author had some valid points. i.e., Christensen cherry picked cases to support his theory. There are many cases which contradict the theory and she supplied some as convincing counter examples.

That being said, I don't really know what the point of the article was. She didn't offer an alternative, just kinda shrugged and said "you can't predict the future," which seems like a cop out. At least Christensen was trying to make sense of the world while she was basically just saying it is hopelessly chaotic so we should proceed with our lives and businesses with no plans because there is no way to predict anything. That seems horribly nihilistic. I mean, sure, Disruption Theory has some issues. But that doesn't mean you should do away with theory completely.

This is insane.

The plaintiff, Equustek Solutions Inc., says the main defendant, Morgan Jack, sells networking devices that infringe on their trademark.

The defendant sells these things online; the plaintiff wants his websites to be dereferenced from Google.

The court agreed and asked Google to remove the links on all its properties worldwide (not just google.ca).

But what does Google have to do with this?

Why does the plaintiff not go after the infringer, to shut his websites down and/or fine him and/or get him in prison?

Telling Google to remove the links (worldwide!!) is like issuing an injunction against all restaurants the world over to stop selling food to anyone called "Morgan Jack" in the remote chance it will have an effect on his business.

It's a little bit early to write the F-35 off as a failure, unless you're talking purely about the financial side. Certainly it's a failure as a down-market F-22 with strike capability. It's far too expensive for that.

We won't really know what kind of air superiority platform the F-35 is until it's had a few run-ins with other modern fighters. Stealth capabilities and superior sensors may be more than enough to make up for lack of maneuverability. Or maybe not.
