Chip and pin is already being planned for the US over the next 2 years or so. I'm honestly quite surprised the news hasn't gotten more attention.
I was thinking how useful something like this would be recently. My concern was that we'd end up with yet another package management system to deliver it, so I'm glad NPM is being used. Great stuff!
Underhanded crypto contest, inspired by the underhanded C contest
Wouldn't both be kind of extreme niches? Who programs a 64bit x86 in asm? I think the only places where you might use any asm language is embedded and these chips don't use x64 (my last embedded job was around 2006 using 8-bit CPUs @ about 1mhz & 4kB ram and even there we used c).

Not to be misunderstood - it's good for you to learn as a programmer but since it's all for educational purposes anyway might as well learn something simpler like the parent suggested. "Practically" both are impractical in the modern world.

The issue is, the StackOverflow boards aren't discussion boards. It's a Q&A system. If your question doesn't have one (or a few) unambiguously correct answer(s), it's not a fit for the site.

For that matter Chromecast really appeals to me. If only I didn't have to cast the full screen with bsplayer to do media on the local network through it.
Very nice! I think it would be great if the clickable component names on the right could have some kind of tooltip that contained a brief description of the component.
E.g.: For the react-messages it could be "React component for showing error, warning, info messages."
IMO Bill Thurston is saying people are people first and mathematicians second. People often feel the need to contribute to the world and mathematicians often wonder how they can do it through mathematics. And of course he says it's not easy to answer that. There's nothing wrong in trying to pursue mathematics to improve some aspect of the world. There are millions of way in which pursuing mathematics can improve the world.

A lot of places where I pay by PIN they still swipe it afterwards so that they have a record on their own system (not sure why they need this though) - I think this is what OP refers to.

The difference between US banks and mine though is that if I try to pay by signing my bank won't authorise it - I have to enter my PIN (and sometimes sign too) to make a payment.

Payments online is more of the retailers fault though. They shouldn't accept payments where the CVV check or address check fails. Here in the UK most retailers won't accept payments unless it all matches up, but as I understand this isn't as common in the US.

You know what? Maybe they should be discussion boards. If a large number of users seem to use your site's resources in a nonstandard way that a large number of other users find helpful, that might be a hint that you're not in the business you think you're in.

In many areas of business, it also might be a hint that someone is about to disrupt you. If Stack Exchange is the Myspace of Q&A sites, who will be the Facebook?

Knowing how it works is extremely useful. And if you know one it's trivial to get to know another, like ARM as an example.

I haven't actually written a line of asm in last few years but when you are thinking about performance you must be able to understand compiler output. And that I have been doing a great deal. You simply cannot make well performing code without that knowledge.

You can always say that in modern desktop performance does not matter, but you cannot say the same in mobile space. There every single watt counts if you want to increase your battery life. Because when the CPU is idle they can pretty much shut the whole thing down for a small while.
Maybe that's not your fault. Maybe it was wrong (albeit forgivable, of course) to blame the other people who did that. Maybe they all did it not because they're bad (or weak) people, but because the system is set up in a way that there's really only one possible outcome.

Maybe voting to change the game is the answer, rather than playing with crooked rules.
Lean Startup struck me as very much in the Business Book mold. The concept is a good one and he spells it out well, but there's really very little there that's of much practical use if you've mostly already bought into the concept.
How much of that is about the hardware vs. the software? How much of the positive experience would be preserved if you ran the same software on a Surface Pro 3 and just cast the screen to a large monitor?

While Markdown is certainly used widely and is based on Grubers original specification, the practical real-world usage is a lot more complicated that just relying on the original specification.

Reading Atwoods issues with original Markdown[1] (which is significant given his extensive experience in products that rely heavily on Markdown), it is quite clear that Markdown as a format has prospered almost in spite of the original specification.

If you signed up without a Facebook account the great features of the app wouldn't work without a lot of effort on the users part. For example it takes all 700 of my Facebook likes, matches them against others, and shows our commons likes (interests). It also shows friends in common and allows me to easily update my pictures (the only pictures I have of myself are ones I've been tagged in on Facebook). You could create a non-Facebook system but I don't think many people would use it and without significant work inputting interests etc. they wouldn't get very good matches.
There are alternatives to a system of individual promotions, raises and bonuses. See Github, Valve, early Google etc.
First, your markup for the component lives with the JS handling for that component... you can require in child components and render them in the same manner.. using harmony/es6 syntax...

var React = require('react')
var other = require('../other-control')
var { div, h2 } = React.DOM;

module.exports = React.createClass({
render: function(){
return div({className="foo"}, [
h2(null,'My playa'),
other()
]);
}
});

I don't use the JSX syntax, for testability, coffee-script can be a lot cleaner... With multiple components in a larger application and webpack it gets really nice.
You can go straight to npm and browse the keyword which is used to generate this site.

Setting Up Sublime Linter on Ubuntu
This. In Holland we have chip and pin, which I've got to say goes much faster than someone can fish out cash from their wallet, certainly faster than someone can make change.

Recently many places also support RFID with no pin required for small purchases (I think it's €25). Goes much faster than the employee can bag your order up.
I'm quite surprised by the blasé attitude the US has to card security.

The lack of chip and pin still surprises me. I'm surprised a lot of the bigger retail companies haven't put pressure on the banks to bring this in.
Price would be a handy metric...
Standard implies "normal" or "default" as well as "standardised".

Whatever you may think of Markdown (that is markdown as created by Gruber), it surely isn't unreasonable to suggest that if any version can make that sort of claim, it should be the original.

Yes, and the infrastructure is there for chip&pin cards, you just need an ISO7816 USB reader, which are cheap nowadays (<$20). Browsers already support it as well; in fact, our national ID cards follow the same standard and you can login to governmental websites with the card.

The problem is inertia, nothing else.

What's fascinating is that finding new animal phyla is apparently something that has happened a few times in the last century, and they aren't able to place this creature into a phyla yet - it's close to a jellyfish and comb jellies, but not close enough to be included in the Cnidaria or Ctenophora phylum.
Swift: Patterns and Playground
In Norway, the most common type of card is a debit card that can also be used as a Visa or MasterCard credit card. The card has a smart chip on the front, and on the back you have your national id number/date of birth, photo and signature, etc. The card is frequently used as an id card.

When you pay using the debit card, you have to insert the part of the card with the chip into a reader and enter your pin. Typically you can not do this until the cash register has transferred the amount to pay to the terminal.

You can also use it as a credit card when abroad or even in Norway. However, I'm not sure if the card will actually allow you credit (i.e. borrow money) per se -- I believe the account must have a sufficient positive balance, and I believe the domestic terminals are able to check that in real time (i.e. in a few seconds) and decline the sale if not funded.

As for online purchases, every time I use it as a credit card, I get re-routed to a card verification process. This means I get taken to some third party site (typically Visa or MasterCard) where I have to authenticate using my password and generate a one-time password (pin) on my phone. You can also use a FOB, but I find a phone more practical. After the verification is done, you get taken back to the merchant site. This is the same verification process that is used for online banking.

After living 15 years in the states I found this to be a bit annoying at first, but that had more to do with the speed of the implementation and the fact that it's applet-based (Java and Chrome -- have to switch browsers and hope that you don't lose your session).

If I had to authenticate every time I bought something on Amazon it would get old pretty fast. However, one could simply authenticate once to indicate that this merchant is trusted. A new merchant would trigger the authentication before the transaction can be accepted.
Crowd-sourced list of European Investors
Sure it could get worse. But it could also get a whole lot better. Putin is nothing more or less than the alpha-male in the current generation of fat cats and is a net drain on Russia, Europe and the world in general. The sooner he's gone and the sooner Russia gets rid of the last vestiges of the days of old the better. But with the degree to which these people have entrenched themselves this is going to take a very long time.

It's sad when propaganda pieces try to persuade you to let a person like this ruin a vast chunk of the planet because it could get worse, that means they have very little positive to point at.

Just so you know, you could've still returned the television. If a software update changes functionality to the worse, the product is no longer as advertised, and you are free to return it - after you have given them a chance to correct the faults (following german laws). Restoring to the old firmware and thus not having updates does not count, as that lowers the quality as well (as compared to the advertized state). We had that discussion with the PS3 Linux removal feature.

Besides, showing BILD in a prominent place and making that unchangeable shows that they really have not the slightest idea of german society. You can do that with the three million (normally uneducated) people who can stand this crap, but for everyone else that will cause an allergic reaction -> they did not even bother to do the slightest user acceptance study.
It's not going to make make much of a dent in the whiteboard market either, until the price comes down a couple orders of magnitude...
I don't deny the importance of the finding. Bilateria and non-bilateria are huge groups in the animal kingdom and if this animal doesn't fit in one of them is really something.

But then these lending firms will ultimately be put under the same regulation as banks - requiring them to hold capital against unexpected losses, comply with consumer protection laws, etc - so they will have to compete against depository institutions on an equal footing.

Lack of chip and pin, or use of magnetic stripes instead of ICs?
A very useful addition to markdown would be the ability to put anchor links, and "open in new tab" links. Both of these are not link defaults, but are perfect examples of common cases that should work nicely.

Markdown is often used for one-page webpages due to its simplicity, and thus anchor links become important in this usecase.
The article does not claim that "someone's vaporware" is better than a shipping system. It states that they believe there may be opportunities in doing things differently. With no promises that they'll manage to do better. There's nothing of substance there for D-Wave to respond to. Of course there are opportunities in doing things differently.
I assume you have a high risk appetite. If there is a downturn situation and lot of loans given out by LC default, then they may suffer heavy losses and go out of business. Given that they are not regulated, there is no guarantee on deposits by the Fed so you won't get any money back.

My above comment has started its slow descent into negative karma, and there's probably nothing I can do about it -- what's the point of karma if not to spend it from time to time anyway.

I'm currently reading "How Not to Be Wrong" by mathematician Jordan Ellenberg; here's what he has to say about his calling:

"Pure mathematics can be a kind of convent, a quiet place safely cut off from the pernicious influences of the world's messiness and inconsistency. I grew up inside those walls. Other math kids I knew were tempted by applications to physics, or genomics, or the black art of hedge fund management, but I wanted no such rumspringa. As a graduate student, I dedicated myself to number theory, what Gauss called "the queen of mathematics," the purest of the pure subjects, the sealed garden at the center of the convent, where we contemplated the same questions about numbers and equations that troubled the Greeks and have gotten hardly less vexing in the twenty-five hundred years since.

"At first I worked on number theory with a classical flavor, proving facts about sums of fourth powers of whole numbers that I could, if pressed, explain to my family at Thanksgiving, even if I couldn't explain how I proved what I proved. But before long I got enticed into even more abstract realms, investigating problems where the basic actors— "residually modular Galois representations," "cohomology of moduli schemes," "dynamical systems on homogeneous spaces," things like that—were impossible to talk about outside the archipelago of seminar halls and faculty lounges that stretches from Oxford to Princeton to Kyoto to Paris to Madison, Wisconsin, where I'm a professor now. When I tell you this stuff is thrilling, and meaningful, and beautiful, and that I'll never get tired of thinking about it, you may just have to believe me, because it takes a long education just to get to the point where the objects of study rear into view."

Maths appeal rests in it being a "sealed garden at the center of the convent". One should do math because this sealed garden brings you peace, because you belong there.
