I was wondering if the author came up with that graph himself so I looked around a bit.

The graph was coined originally by a hungarian psychologist, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi [1] and published in 1997 and has not been undisputed. Personally, I found the wikipedia article on flow [2] quite interesting.

Well I'm glad you're able to miss the fucking point with such efficiency
This is incorrect. There are many scientific hypotheses that are widely believed to be true, such as P!=NP or global warming. To say that "we don't know", or "it's equally probable that..." would be extremely misleading. And you'd be hard pressed to find a scientist who doesn't believe in one outcome or the other.

That actually sounds pretty amazing to me. Constantly learning and playing with new tools, and in new fields.

The only likely downside would be if the hackathons were spaced too closely together. That would be very rough on your body/health.
Good timing for Snowden - given that Russia is keen to retaliate for the sanctions right now they're probably pleased to piss the US off with this.
9 to 12 gigs? As far as I know 4G doesn't even support 1Gbps, not to mention your HTC Thunderbolt filesystem (or RAM to store all that if the FS is slow :P)

I call this a typo or BS :)
Sorry to jump in with a tangential reply, but BEWARE of the following!

Google treat the http and https versions of a domain as SEPARATE PROPERTIES. This means that even if you 301 every http page to https when you transition, all of your current rankings and pagerank will be irrelevant.

You can verify this behaviour for yourself in webmaster tools.

I suppose this is because it's possible to serve up different content on http/s, but really, who does that?!

In short, don't do this until google rethink their stance on what counts as a property. I'm currently nursing a client with a 30% revenue hole as a result of this.
Dawkins is of a different caliber than someone of the likes of Jacob Bronowski. The latter mathematician-poet, evangelist of science while Blake expert; the first, well, maybe a fanatic, but surely profane. O tempora, o mores.

I measure people by their conviction, intellect, and humanity. I cannot fault him in either.

Really then - this is tall poppy syndrome at its best (or is that worst?).

What's wrong with someone who actually BACKS their own ideas? Dawkins is not a fool. He knows what he is saying is polarizing.

Why not give the guy a break for not bothering to care about being "well liked" - which sadly seems to have become the currency of social media. The man's a public intellectual for God's sake.
Great, now he has more time to sit on his ass and say nothing about the terribly oppressive Internet laws that Russian government enacts over its citizens. So brave.
Inside the surprisingly few bytes above, some currently unnamed authors implemented a whole control of the printer/plotter's hardware, full serial IEC communication stack, and on top of those they still managed to squeeze a fairly complete font with 96 vector characters in! An example of software engineering craftsmanship at the level we don't see all too often.

For those curious, the size of the ROM data is 4139 bytes. Amazing that it contains a vector font in addition to the executable.

Exclude Wikipedia from Google EU censorship
Why won't Google exclude Wikipedia from the censorship? The only reason why someone would want to censor an online encyclopedia is to hide something they did (probably politicians).

So, Google, please exclude Wikipedia from your European censorship! So something like this could always be found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_De_Gucht#Controversy

I may have communicated that badly. A pattern like transducers is one that everyone needs. Everyone either uses it built into the language or writes it out long form. Design patterns are a way of giving you instructions for writing it out long form. So, you either write it yourself or use it built in.

Some people do not want to learn language tools that will reduce such boilerplate, but those people often are (ironically) happy to learn lots of libraries. Libraries by definition can't remove any more boilerplate than you can, they are just as limited by the language, so often times just save the user some writing, rather than reducing (haha) it across a whole codebase like a built in feature can.

Apparently the worst API ever made is this guy: http://i.imgur.com/EtWh3QZ.jpg

I would love to also see a comparison of hypervisors. Unfortunately, it violates practically everyone's EULA. I can understand why, there's so many different ways things can be implemented and it's almost never a 1:1 identical setup. That being said, I can only rely on anecdotal evidence accompanied with confirmation bias when determining which virtual environment is best.
OK, good to know – although there are apparently still some restrictions according to comments by other HN users.

SSL is still more expensive, though. For most small content websites (< 500-1000 visitors a day), a shared hosting is sufficient with costs of maybe around 100 USD/year. For SSL, you usually need a more expensive hosting, you have to buy a certificate (OK, available for less than 10 USD if you don't care about it's quality but need mainly browser support without an ugly warning window) and most hosters allow SSL only for one domain in a hosting.

Example:

Shared hosting with 4 WordPress blogs, SSL is active but only to access the control panel since the hoster allows SSL only for one domain. Costs incl. a cheap SSL certificate: 110 USD/year.

All 4 WordPress blogs with SSL, i.e., 4 shared hostings plus 4 cheap SSL certificates: 440 USD/year.

(And caching with a Wordpress plugin is probably no longer possible …)
This is the trending GitHub repositories for javascript, objc and go. I would expect also for C/C++, Java, Ruby, Python and others.

The problem is the US could try and stop his plane again when it passes above some US vassal country like UK, France, Spain, and so on. On the other hand, those countries would have to be pretty stupid to do that right now to Russia and force Putin's hand into a war (regardless of their chances of winning I think we can agree a war in Europe would be bad for all parties).
I'm sure Russia Today will report it as soon as it happens, haha.
How would he get there? Not by plane; last year, Bolivian President's plane was forced to land in EU on suspicion that he was carrying Snowden on board.

If the Forth paradigm was to be popular, it had its chance recently: http://factorcode.org

Factor is modern, has a single implementation, with an optimizing compiler, high quality libraries, a great interactive environment.

Factor got so much love from Slava Pestov and a tight community (that I believe still mantains it) for a few a years - it was beautiful thing to see.

Its just that most programmers don't want to code in it.

Not sure what you're suggesting, but if you're wondering why Snowden doesn't leak details on Russia regarding the Ukraine situation, I think the answer is really simple, Snowden leaked on NSA because he worked at NSA, thus he was in capacity to leak what he leaked, but as he certainly doesn't work for FSB he certainly doesn't have access to what you're asking for. What it would require though is a russian working for FSB, maybe inspired by Snowden, he might even safely ask for asylum to US after such a leak.

I'm almost 100% certain that the function will be called only 25 times no matter which way you write the query. Not only is the select statement semantically at the end, but any engine worth anything optimizes this kind of things.

This had to happen. With all the sanctions that the US and EU is slapping on Russia they had to do this. Independent of of the motives, I think this is good for Snowden. The enemy of enemy is a friend.

Is there this problem for a boat?

Granted, a boat trip is longer, which is more time for things to (be made to) go wrong, but if a ship is traveling through international waters, are there any grounds for another country to board it and seize its passengers?

(With a follow up: is there a sea route between Russia and Friendly Country X which doesn't pass through waters claimed by another country?)

No, there are two: You dump old data or you dump new data. Everything else should be up to the user code. It's really not as difficult as you are making it out to be. There's certainly no excuse for a ridiculous API as described in the article.
Black Hat Q& A
The benchmark is wrong atm, the compared functions do not yield the same result.

(comp (map inc) (filter even?)) means filtering first, then incrementing.

The opposite for
(->> data
(map inc)
(filter even?) ...

- which is not the same. And of course, it also means that the latter has to increment the double amount of numbers.

EDIT: It was me who was wrong, thanks for the corrections. Pitfall successfully identified :)
> Its worth noting that none of this matters if you don't use full-disk encryption.

And just to be clear, one of the fun things with firewire exploits, is that it easily defeats fde -- it allows an attacker to dump the ram, and extract the encryption keys from ram (as the keys need to be in ram for the os to access the disks...).

So you could perhaps mirror the drives at night, when no-one is around, and dump the keys you need to use that dump during lunch break, when the machine is on, but unattended... You might argue that they could just blow some co2 on your ram sticks, and dump the keys from there (if they could already access your hds...) -- and you'd be right -- but firewire is a lot less intrusive...

I'm just expecting him to not be a huge hypocrite as he was when he went on public record of praising Russia's commitment to human rights. [1] Apparently that only includes his rights, not us, regular people of Russia. I'm just doing my part of spreading awareness about his unforgivable hypocrisy.

That's a little unfair, isn't it?

Whether you agree with his actions or not, he's certainly no coward. He's also unlikely to be in possession of any information about Russia that isn't widely known.

Surely it'd be crazy to risk his only refuge when he has neither power, nor information, nor responsibility.
I can't see much difference between this and applying the standard CAT scan algorithms to signal strength received through structures. Can anyone tell me why this is particularly special?

Yes, I totally agree that children should be educated in matters of licenses, as I've said. They need to understand the pros and cons. I also believe that they should be taught not to pirate stuff. Piracy is partially responsible for a lot of things, amongst which:

1) developers are not paid accordingly to their contributions and I'm thinking here especially of indie games developers that suffer the most from this

2) open-source is not as popular as it should - for example whenever a Gimp vs Photoshop thread comes up in which Gimp is said to "suck" by comparison, it infuriates me immensely since I bet that a large percentage of Photoshop users are pirating it and so Gimp doesn't get the credit or the attention that it deserves. Actually piracy limits competition, since this is a problem for all Photoshop alternatives, not only for open-source.

3) monstrosities like DRM which end up punishing well behaved people, since DRM doesn't really work except for lock-in purposes, but hey, companies get away with it because piracy

4) closed platforms that mandate the installation of apps from app stores, because safety and piracy

In general I do not agree that piracy is like stealing, but it does real harm and children should be taught not to pirate, primarily out of respect for other human beings.
Do you often find yourself writing on somebody else's machine?

I don't know about you but I find that I do 99.99% of my work on one of my machines (where I have control over what's installed and what is not).

So the issue for me is not if I can access the editor from remote, but if I can access/sync the data. (which dropbox solves for me).

Sorry to burst the bubble but you can't rely on the result of this kind of analysis. Identifying people through their writing style isn't new, and you don't know they haven't already done a prior analysis and ensured their writing style doesn't identify them (or maybe matches to someone else on /r/anarchy).

Things that can be faked have every chance of being faked. Especially when it comes to hackers who need to cover their tracks daily.
Free certificates tend to result in ugly warning messages in browsers …

Cheap certificates are available, however, they are still not for free. And hosting more than one domain with SSL is a problem too with most hosting providers if you do not want to book additional hostings.
> Edit: Maybe I don't get the "processing" part... isn't this about creating interactive experiences? The examples demonstrate so and I didn't see examples of processing complex data sets or anything. Would love to hear some elaboration on it.

Huh? If you dump data you miss events. Imagine if Process Monitor decided to suddenly dump half of the system calls it monitored. Wouldn't that be ridiculous? For a general event-tracing system, there have to be more options provided. Maybe it wouldn't matter so much for context-switching per se, but for a ton of other types of events you really need to track each and every event.
> if a ship is traveling through international waters, are there any grounds for another country to board it and seize its passengers?

Suddenly, pirates, out of fucking nowhere.

EDIT:

Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if some "random" thing happened to Snowden if he tried to go by a boat. Just like Assange became an sex offender out of the blue the moment he seriously pissed off the US government.

Nope, that's the funny feature of transducers. Like lenses in Haskell, transducers compose in reversed order.
