We're game to make any library changes. I did want to say though, that raw performance is not a high priority for BitcoinJS. We're far more interested in good testing and correctness than in performance (though performance certainly is a good thing).

Which is not to say that your library is incorrect or has bad testing, just to say that the way to our hearts is to convince us that elliptic is better than what we're using, not that it is faster, which it certainly is (and that's awesome). :)

Pull requests, of course, always welcome!
Does this not rather beg the question - is there a deep web, and how big (or small) is it. I can easily understand the desire for a coherent group of people putting up vpns etc to keep their world seperate from others - but that implies you join in based on some other criteria, which sounds not very deep web but pretty secret-VPN-we-are-not-telling-you-about-unless-we-cross-your-AS-Number-when-something-is-obvious

It just has that feel of "secret society" to it, which tended just to reflect the informal power structures of the wider world anyway.

So Russ Cox goes into more detail in this post https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/MdYlJbW4SAo/TrAE...

Although Go does not compile via C, occasionally C code does need to
refer to Go identifiers. Since we chose not to restrict the mangled Go
names to the space of valid C names, we must add some mechanism to
refer to Go names from C. That mechanism is:

1. In the assemblers and C compilers, which already accepted all
non-ASCII Unicode code points in identifiers, the Unicode characters ·
and / rewrite to ordinary . and / in the object files.

2. A symbol with a leading . has its import path inserted before the .
when being linked: inside encoding/json.a, a reference to ".Marshal"
is equivalent to "encoding/json.Marshal".

Because of 2, we went a long time without needing a special character
for slash. Recently the introduction of race detection has made it
convenient for package runtime to be able to refer to a few symbols in
runtime/race, hence the new slash lookalike."
For me, design patterns are a good thing. If it's a phase, I'd prefer people to be stuck there rather than never learn them.

My reasoning is that using a pattern is like documentation. If I see a pattern in some code, i barely have to read the code. Code is hard enough to read as it is, patterns make it easier.

I've heard various figures over the years but one that i think is a decent estimate is that maintenance is 80% of the SDLC. That means reading a crapload of code. Any time you can reduce the burden is a good thing.

It's true that a lot of GoF's design patterns are particular to languages like java and c#, and not relevant to dynamic languages especially.

I think your idea about applying design patterns where they don't fit isn't really the source of the problem. Some developers aren't good at understanding the problem they are faced with, so they do the wrong thing. That isn't anything to do with applying or not applying design patterns - it's a different discussion altogether.

Nuclear bomb security may have be less advanced than we were lead on to believe. For example British nuclear bombs were armed by turning a bicycle lock key: "British nukes were protected by bike locks" - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7097101.stm .

If one puted that in a movie plot I think few would believe it.
this version sounds great too!
I am actually jealous of the level of control. I need to work harder !
Thanks a lot for the link. Right at the time we are looking for resources to build and figure out the structure for the APi :D
compile yourself.

or download from a source you trust and compare hash from another trustworthy source. just like anything you download. unless you run gentoo, but then how do you trust your sources, etc

and if you have a closed source phone os that only allows to install from their store... well you have to learn to crawl before you walk.
It has advantages. The center of gravity is in the middle of the bike and at the 'bottom' of the bike. Electric motor in front wheel makes it more difficult the steer. Electric motor in the back wheel can cause 'understeer' especially in winter or on wet roads. The Bosch motor has been around for a while now and they have a very good reputation. A lot of new e-bikes have these pedal-powered Bosch motors.

I must add. E-bikes are selling like hotcakes in The Netherlands. The first people to buy them were 50+ years old. Now 30+ year old people are buying e-bikes like this one. They are a serious alternative for a small car. These bikes are not cheap. Like $ 4000,-. But, there is certainly a market for them. I like to think they are the Tesla version of an e-bike.
Reskin it and submit as a new game (effectively cloning yourself). If the issue is that not enough people see your game then they won't know it is a clone so who cares?
Do you run the scripts as a specific user inside the container then? I was under the impression that running untrusted code in Docker as UID 0 was not yet safe.
find a co founder. if you can't, that's your answer. If you can, well. You'll have to discuss that with them.
Volvo does have such a pedestrian airbag: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2Aw4eZoijk

Full disclosure - I am a developer Advocate with JFrog, the company behind Bintray.

So,jcenter is a Java repository in Bintray (https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter), which is the largest repo in the world for Java and Android OSS libraries, packages and components. All the content is served over a CDN, with a secure https connection.
JCenter is the default repository in Goovy Grape (http://groovy.codehaus.org/Grape), built-in in Gradle (the jcenter() repository) and very easy to configure in every other build tool (maybe except Maven) and will become even easer very soon.

Bintray has a different approach to package identification than the legacy Maven Central. We don't rely on self-issued key-pairs (which can be generated to represent anyone, actually and never verified in Maven Central). Instead, similar to GitHub, Bintray gives a strong personal identity to any contributed library.

If you really need to get your package to Maven Central (for supporting legacy tools) you can do it from Bintray as well, in a click of a button or even automatically.

Hope that helps!

What the crap? Look what you are saying is crazy.

1) you aren't including operations staff.

2) what are you doing for DR/HA?

3) how about CDN etc?

4) how about load balancing between datacenters? DNS failover?

5) how many units of computer would $200k be at amazon? I'd imagine a lot. I recently (nearly a year ago) specced out 16 servers on AWS with HA/DR on opsworks for $15k over 3 years ($5k/year). Back of the envelope calculations make that 640 cores for your $200k. With 400GB transfer a month.

6) what are you doing for backups?

7) what if you don't need to utilize a whole rack? Most of the time systems don't fully utilize racks. But you're paying for them anyway.

That came up in a previous discussion of nuclear weapons (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6419056 ). To quote my wife (Dove), "There were several close calls during the Cold War, and while the powers involved always chose to respond (they had to, it was doctrine at the time), they always chose to respond cautiously. Both sides wanted to avoid a "hot" war at almost any cost." (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Able_Archer_83 ).
Using fixed elements in your design
I use both backblaze, as well as Google Drive. I don't have anything in particular I'd be completely upset if I lost it forever, which is why I dont do local backups, but I've definitely been looking at using Crashplan as a secondary backup. I just cant be bothered to hook my laptop up to an external when I hardly sit next to it anyway.

What does HN think? Safe if I went with 2 cloud backup providers?
Is much the same now, the UK doesn't have launch codes and operates the whole thing as a sort of dead-man's switch, apparently partly based on if the Today program has been broadcast on Radio 4.

do you guys think its a right away to move out messenger/chat feature into a new app?

We are debating on the same move internally!!
What do you mean by it would have to be passive? It would come up with a new app everyday but you would still have to indicate if you liked the app or not.

Actually I can't believe there aren't already a billion apps doing this - you could make a fucking fortune selling access to your app, compared with the ever growing data on what kinds of apps do well.
The biggest thing with crime rates is understanding relative risk. The crime rate in another neighborhood may be 40% higher than yours, but that by itself is relatively meaningless. The reality is that in the vast majority of places in the United States you are very unlikely to be the victim of the crime. Even if you stay in a particular neighborhood for decades.

I've never been able to ascertain wether the insistence that suburbs are much safer comes from not understanding the actual risk, or something more sinister (racism - probably unintentional).
What will I look like?
Castle Bravo [1], [2] was a 15Mt yield set off on Bikini Atoll, notable because it was predicted to be 6Mt but was almost 2.5x that. Considering how much of the Bikini Atoll is left ([3], with pin on the location of detonation) and that the command centre for Castle was on the Atoll, I'd say that Arkansas is ok.

Which is why publishers don't care whether or not stores like Amazon discount their physical books. </sarcasm>
That sounds like an interesting model. Do you have tips you'd be willing to share? I wouldn't mind having books to read which I won't mind my young kids destroying accidentally.
Ask HN: What are your favorite books? I'm bored
I like HackerNews, I feel like there are a lot of smart people on here and I find it a creditable source for knowledge and information.

Anyways lately I'm bored and have time to do stuff
I want to read stuff that makes me smarter. Anything interesting about life, religion preferably Buddhism. But anything that's life changing and eye opening I'm willing to read. Plus I like to know what other folks are reading to stay sharp and on edge. Or the top most popular or must read or whatever works.

just throw some suggestions at me.
Well even if I found a co-founder, I'd like to get more opinions than just one.
This really shows up in food. I always cringe when my suburban friends just rave over the meal they had at Maggiano's. There is just so much more in the world to discover outside the comfortable safe world of chain restaurants.

That probably sums up the whole suburban experience to me. Comfortable, safe, predictable, beige. As someone who craves adventure (fwiw, I'm edging closer to 40) I just crave the authenticity a city or even a great small town provides. Suburbs really are just a bad compromise between those two things, the worst of all possible worlds.
And that's nice and maybe I'd actually like to live there, but here's another question: How are these 'burbs linked to the outside world? As an example, your description sounds a lot like Issaquah Highlands east of Seattle. Shopping, light commercial, and so on surrounded by individual houses. The problem is, how do those people get to and from work? Massive freeways? Issaquah Highlands is asking to be included on the far end of a big light rail project and it will cost a few hundred million bucks to include them. It's still sprawl, just slightly-more-dense sprawl.
Is there any way to find out when they're going to do this, so I can offer to buy a few? :D
I just finished Masters Of Doom (http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Doom-Created-Transformed-Cultu...). I read it almost non-stop. I highly recommand it to anyone who has gone through the early days of ID Software games Wolf3D / Doom.
The UK's leaders wrote "Letters of last resort" to their nuclear submarine commanders, explaining what to do if the government was destroyed:

It's terrifying that nuclear war was considered likely enough to do this.
This seems to be a little overblown, to put it perhaps more mildly than necessary.

I think it's pretty obvious that static analysis is essential when code correctness is necessary. Of course the use of C++ is questionable, unless high performance is needed.

Realistically, human civilization would still have survived a full scaled thermonuclear exchange during the height of the Cold War. Things would not have been great, but humanity would still have survived.

Discovery happens less and less in the App Store proper, and more elsewhere (search, in-app ads, etc).

This is not to say the article is very wrong -- only that the placements Google can sell will be, for the most part, outside of the Play app.

I agree the regular Stranahan's is just ok, but a friend had a bottle of one of their special releases (I forgot the details, but it had a silver label, so probably a Snowflake) and it was significantly better. Check it out if you get a chance.

Quantum Chesire Cats
nice. it requires a 3rd party FB, Google, AIM, ICQ, ippi, iptel or MSN account but it says they optionally use OTR.

Not 100% secure IMHO but close. Why do they have to rely on a 3rd party for authentication? This still gives (at least, if you manually enable OTR encryption) the connection data to the service providers.
>> The water already present in the atmosphere absorbs almost all IR radiation

> This does not seem to be correct. The earth's is gaining a significant amount of energy from the sun. [...]

Right. It should be: "the water already present in the atmosphere absorbs almost all IR radiation on wavelengths for CO_2, methane and water itself".

Adding more methane or CO_2 will not cause more radiation be absorbed, because there is nothing left to be absorbed.

Dr. David Perlmutter should be ashamed for contributing to the trend of lumping ADHD in with huge lists of symptoms such as (quote):
"dementia, decreased libido, depression, chronic headaches, anxiety, epilepsy, and ADHD"

ADD and ADHD may not be as crippling as some mental conditions, but there is real peer-reviewed medical research out there concerning diagnosis and treatment. Hint: counseling and doctor-prescribed medication is more effective than homeopathy and trivial diet changes. People just want an easy solution and someone to blame.
First important question to ask about any evolutionary algorithm experiment:

Did you check your experiment against a simulated annealing process?

It's simpler to implement, converges faster and gives better results. So far I am unaware of any optimizing problem that was solved better with an evolutionary/genetic algorithm than simulated annealing. That is, unless the evolution part (crossover, mainly) is inextricably connected to the problem at hand and therefore other algorithms are simply not suitable to even try.

Since you are buying and selling from/to businesses instead of people, there is a low chance of things going wrong.

You sell the book first and get a quote. The quote is good for at least a week and in a decent number of cases for 30 days. As long as you can get the book shipped to you within that time period and ship it to the buying website, you should be good.

I understand the skepticism and that is why we have the free plan to test it out at low level.

You don't have to approve of India's judicial system to acknowledge the fact that it hold some kinds of trials in camera, which was all I asserted.

"But but but... it COULD happen!" No, it can't ever happen. It's never happened and it never will.

Really? Here's an example of a trial that resulted in the collapse of a government, the assassination of a central figure, and eventual reversal of the verdicts by a higher court that found serious irregularities in how the trial had been conducted.

How hard is it to report facts.

"The plane split in two, the base was evacuated, and the fire burned for two and a half hours. But the explosives in the warhead didn’t detonate; that would have set off a chain reaction."

This statement seems to imply the bomb would have went off, which is just not true. The physics just do not work that way.
wish it was available in White too :D
Another advantage of this, is that it'll smoothen the fitness landscape somewhat, creating better convergence.

Another advantage of using simulated annealing instead of evolutionary algorithms is that you can add this sort of noise in pretty much for free (instead of doing multiple runs, you basically just lower the cooling rate).
