Not exactly -- IBM is now mandating their internal systems support Macs (if the rumor is to be believed).

Beside the obvious problems with having to push that top-down when IBM already has so many Apple devices, there's the problem that they're late on Apple support.

They can't afford to continue to lag "the mobile revolution, which IBM has missed out on."
Aren't they two different groups living in the same area through? Some are happy with rising houses and do not want new buildings (most of them owners, but not only them) and some are not (most of them renters, but not only them).
I'm sorry but your final paragraph turned me away. It's one thing if you're looking for fun side projects to play around with, but asking others to provide income-generating ideas seems unethical to me.
I'd love to see a hyperlocal (bluetooth, maybe?), mesh network-based messaging app popularize. I uncertain if you'd be able to charge for it though, since users are often of the "open, free access for all" type. Marketing to a different demographic may help though. For the common high school student, something that allows messages to be sent without service or WIFI sounds valuable.

Very interesting discussion, although there already are solutions to some of these problems in other type systems.

Erlang also has optional type annotations via the dialyzer tool and all types are by default non-nullable.

Generally I think that the dart language implementors should try harder not to copy language design fails from Java / C++, like null-pointers or half-baked enumeration types.
Can someone explain this a bit? While I can understand how these bugs arise, I'm not the best at exploiting them.

The summary states,

> disclosed a glibc NUL byte off-by-one overwrite into the heap.

> a full exploit (with comments) for a local Linux privilege escalation.

Normally, I wouldn't see how such a bug could lead to privilege escalation. (glibc runs in userspace, after all.) But it is glibc, and glibc is everywhere.

I think the key is in the source code, where they state,

// It actually relies on a pkexec bug: a memory leak when multiple -u arguments are specified.

pkexec is setuid, so if it has a bug, then it's a great target for privilege escalation. Is the exploit the fact that they're passing bogus arguments to pkexec in such a way as to trigger this bug, corrupt the heap, and cause pkexec to either execute a binary of their choice or execute arbitrary code?
Thanks guys,
What do you think of some kind of reward to the person who refer most people (like a drone or something cool...)?
Scheme had a very shallow standard. It's written in a dense style and lacked basic stuff like error handling or an object system.

> I'm still not sure why there are 80 different ways to loop

There are many ways to loop, because users found those useful. Lisp by tradition is not telling the developers what they have to use. It's the opposite: it gives the developers various degrees of freedom to shape the language (from macros, read macros, ... to the MOP).

You could have easily removed something like DOLIST from the standard. But why? Software before and after the standard will still use it. How about MAP ? Remove it! But wait, people have used it already and will still use it...

Lisp languages are ball-of-mud languages where users can add their own control structures.

If you look at Scheme, they have added all this and more with SRFIs. Now you get a language, whose implementations support a minimal language and each will implement some subset or superset of SRFIs...
Show HN: Discover a new movie every time you open a new tab
Two satellites for EU’s Galileo enter wrong orbits
There are vast differences between the EU and the interaction with states and federal government. Everyone views other countries as just that - other countries. The government systems even vary. The thing is that no one looks at states as countries. People state their nationality as American, not Hoosier or .. um.. whatever else locals name themselves. Most Americans fully expect free travel without worry of arrest throughout the entire US. An arrest, even without a conviction, can cause someone to lose their livelyhood.

And it IS important to protect the minority, but that is different laws: sometimes having basic federal laws to protect the minority is most definitely needed as I don't trust states to do it themselves, especially in places with a voter base intent on keeping things 'traditional' over making sure people are free enough to be happy.
Facebook isn't a company I praise often, but this is both a very good change and one which I desperately hope will carry through both to how other sites (HN, reddit, G+, all of which, unlike FB, I actually do use) treat clickbait, and how publishers optimize their own content.

The race to the bottom among aggregators, which started quite some time back with HuffPo (nearly a decade old now) has become quite maddening. I've long since resorted to flagging such content as spam, where possible (curious that comments here suggest FB has an "I don't want to see this" option, G+ most certainly doesn't), and increasingly have resorted to unfollowing or blocking those who post such crud.

Much as xkcd suggested a format for getting bots to contribute usefully to online forums, it would be quite slick if search and social engines would reward actually good and quality content.
I think that's the key insight. It may not be legal for NSA to look at records of US citizens, but build a search engine and there are other departments for whom it is legal to do that. NSA just becomes the facilitator or router of the data.
As I've commented on G+: the parody is too good. I flag that as spam along with the real clickbait.

A Headset Meant to Make Augmented Reality Less of a Gimmick
Statoil and how Norway essentially protected its future is a lot like how Australia should have dealt with the so-called mining boom.

Named and outlined better, our "mining tax" could have been this. It could have protected against capital flight and essentially built national strength for all at the expense of those (especially foreign interests) looking to dig up serious swathes of our ground.

Instead, we had a predictable response from the mining magnates and Coalition, an easily duped and panicked public, and a flailing government at the time who named the concept terribly and defended it poorly. And when challenged on the whole "it's barely made any money" front, caved instead of noting that it'd been potentially hampered for political reasons.

What's an easier sell to the public? "Mining tax" or "Future Fund; funded by giant, mostly foreign mining companies."

Look at the Coalition's "$20b" medical research fund. So many people think that's a current $20b fund, rather than a far smaller fund to be built up to $20b over a number of years, and then to fund research only from the earnings of the fund and not from the fund's base value. Labor should have framed the MRRT much more like this and it would've made for a better sell. Avoid the word tax, outline the goal with a specific value range and target date, and name the beneficiaries of the earnings - technology research, medical research, etc.

I can't see how this wasn't a big missed opportunity for Australia.
Common Lisp had different goals from Dylan. Common Lisp was designed as a powerful Lisp dialect, incorporating ideas from 20+ years back plus some new stuff. It was designed to be 'backwarts' compatible with Maclisp and its dialects.

Dylan was designed as a new language (compatible with nothing) for application development and delivery for small machines.

Difficult to say, but i doubt it.

When it comes to whipping votes (getting the party members to vote along party lines) only he and Angus King have the ability to claim no affiliation to the Democrat ticket, but Maine is a much more centrist state than Vermont. The house does not currently have any third party members.

Since voting is what matters (not privately held views), i'd say that he is indeed the only socialist in washington. If you insist on nitpicking about personal views, i'd say that perhaps you could include some representatives from the bay area, portland oregon, vermont (particularly the college towns), but that's about it. Many people always assume that the politicians hold secret views (shockingly similar to the those of the people who tend to believe it), but i honestly see no reason why people assume this. If someone has the forum to spread views the truly believe in, i don't seem much reason why they wouldn't.

> You have to have your head pretty far up your own ass to not see how much Common Lisp sucks. It's a language designed by committee, and it looks like it.

The original design was by four people. Common Lisp does not look worse or better than the Lisp's it was designed to improve on (Maclisp, Lisp Machine Lisp, NIL, ...) and the Lisps it made mostly obsolete (Portable Standard Lisp, Interlisp, ...).

Wikipedia [1] suggests that it's accurate as a percentage of people who go to prison, but not as a percentage of people who are in prison. The discrepancy is because violent offenders have dramatically longer sentences. If one violent offender gets locked up for 50 years and then 50 consecutive drug offenders get locked up for 1 year each, then the prison population is 50% violent criminals, but the percentage of criminals sentenced to prison is 98% non-violent.

All of this is indeed correct. People here don't buy Teslas or other electronic cars because of the environment. Most do it for the economical reasons listed above [1]. However there has been a lot of discussion recently about whether these economical advantages are here to stay. Currently the electric cars are clogging up the bus/taxi lanes and the government is losing money as a result of the electric car boom we've seen here recently [2]. It will certainly be interesting to see what removing the advantages will do to the electric car market in Norway.

3 Questions You Must Ask Your Team Weekly
Subtracting two length doesn't give you a length, it gives you a difference of length, which can be any real number.

So by analogy subtracting two unsigned ints should give you a signed int by default (unless you specifically ask for the unsafe unsigned int, and then it's on you to make sure the preconditions are met).
This is fabulous. It makes me speechless as to why this true and not surprising at all.

My quick theory is that deep down we are social animals and a lot of our 'management' decisions stem from this part of us. Not from wanting to rationally and technically solve problems. For example, many 'higher' animals have pecking orders. We have too. On the other hand, we are capable of rationality after all. But we will have to be much more honest with ourselves of what we are. Maybe a lot of human development in history is about escaping our limits. Which is not to say that we should negate or supress them.

There is tons of studies on mismanagement in organisations (state down to enterprises) but this article nails it.

I don't really understand the logic behind preventing inmates from accessing internet. It seems to me that if the aim of prison is rehabilitate inmates and reduce crime then giving them access to internet would be beneficial.

I can understand why some inmates should not have access to internet to prevent them from directing their activities outside of prison but I'm sure that those are a small minority.
Great to see. I was recently in their Dublin office, they seem to be doing interesting work, and doing it well.

Dylan was not designed for Lisp, Scheme or Smalltalk users. It took ideas from there, but it was developed as a replacement for C, C++ for application development. If Apple had actually used it, stuff like Keynote, Logic, iPhoto, iTunes, Xcode, ... would have been written an Dylan.

Apple used Objective-C for that then.

The field is maturing. People are starting to figure out what Toyota learned sixty years ago and American manufacturers figured out thirty years ago: process matters. Funny thing about the Agile manifesto, if you read it carefully, they wrote in 2001 (?) that "we've discovered from experience that these things work" (I'm paraphrasing) but they do not say "we have theory to explain why these things work". It turns out that ten years later, we're learning that the reason they work is that they either make the process and its problems visible (Scrum, Kanban) or offer techniques to improve the process (Scrum, XP). Beyond software development, Lean concepts (again adapted from manufacturing) are being applied to entrepreneurship. Why wouldn't an entrepreneur who's read The Lean Startup want someone specifically to focus on the "ops" of his process? I admit that I don't think meal ordering processes are likely to be a meaningful bottleneck, but who can say?
I think the integration is pretty good, personally. I mostly listen to books these days, and it's usually Audible books purchased through the Amazon site.

Audiobooks (both Audible and physical CDs) are listed side-by-side other types of book media on Amazon.com. To pick a random example, if you look up Steel World by BV Larson: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FCXPC94/ - you'll see the paperback, Kindle Edition, Audible audio edition, and sometimes others.

Some titles have "Whispersync for Voice", which I think is an impressive type of integration. With those titles, you can sync your progress between the Audible and Kindle formats, so that you don't lose progress when switching from reading to listening. Additionally, when you own one format, the price of the other format drops substantially (if I recall, usually to a few dollars). I count that as a deep and sophisticated type of integration between the Kindle store and Audible.

Whether I visit the Amazon.com site or Audible depends on my motivation. If I want to find a good book, and I'm willing to either read or listen, then I'll hit Amazon. If I'm looking specifically for an audiobook, I'll hit Audible. Also, I think the Audible site might have been redone since you've last seen it. The home page doesn't look like what was around before the acquisition. I see a modern, Amazon-style product grid on audible.com when logged in. It's also integrating content from Amazon such as "Based on your Amazon and Kindle book purchases, we think you'll enjoy...". The Audible site to me looks like a curated window into Amazon.com now.

Well, even if you assume the app will take too long to render, is it really worthwhile to render the "rest" of the window (pointer, frames, etc). The main reason you're working with a particular window is the content, not the chrome, so drawing the chrome asynchronously only serves to make things look weird, not actually get things done faster.

Dylan wasn't really a 'dynamic language' in the classical sense. It was thought to bring the power of dynamic languages to application developers.

Dylan was made obsolete by Objective-C at Apple, not Ruby or Python. Outside Apple Dylan was made obsolete by Java.

Some of the early Dylan users complained that too much time was wasted on the IDEs, while the language implementation and libraries were lacking.
Yes, you got it. Lots of escalation privilege exploits target a binary run as root or a segment of code in the kernel and take control over it. The objective is usually to spawn a new process, a shell, from the initial process: it will have the same permissions (root) but allows to run commands easily (instead of having to write specific code).
There are already SHRDLU versions in Common Lisp.

Great job. Nice execution. I would recommend adding some type of simple tutorial walk-through after the new page is first created. It took a little while for it to sink in that this is a blank canvas and I can start typing, etc. Maybe the fact that the canvas is the same color as the background of the site, it is not easy that this is a "word doc" where I can start building. I know you probably want to keep it minimalistic, but it might help to outline the canvas so this fact is more obvious.
