I understand the Go hype, but what kind of "heavy number crunching" have you traditionally done with Go?
Very good point. DC should be reaching outside its toxic beltway bandit ecosystem in general any time it wants anyone talented at anything other than milking the Federal cow.
The way I understand it, Muslims are not allowed to drink alcohol, even if they want to - i.e. the government stops certain other people (the Muslims) from drinking it, but not other other people *tourists).
What's New in WordPress 4.0
Just to note, WordPress uses x.y.0 for major releases, so this is no more of a major release than 3.9 or 4.1. It's an awesome release, but don't think of it as "major version 4". :)

Congratulations to the contributors on a fantastic release.
I believe it is chip and signature... I got mine from Bank of America... no pin necessary when the chip is used (and it still has the magnetic strip for stores that don't have chip readers).
It doesn't matter that he was asked to participate and didn't want to. What matters is whether he did or didn't give specific written permission that they could use the name Markdown. It's set in stone on the license.
I'd be reasonably confident running Chrome with almost every plugin (especially Java and Adobe ones) disabled. It's been a long time since I've had any AV alert when running that way.

I do keep a copy of Firefox with Flash and Java installed so I can manually "whitelist" a mostly trusted URL to that browser if I need it.
Your response is way ruder then the OP's, way to escalate the situation ...

I don't see how it's hard to understand how using a syntax that was designed for rendering UI components for routing might be a bad idea. It's just screams ugly hack all over the place and I could easily see how it would be confusing and overly verbose.
I've had mine for 2-3 years and its been fine. Pick of the litter I suppose.

Doesn't that depend upon the project? What if I want to build for the App Store audience? Should I be shunned by the "community".

The usefulness of Moz depends on how much time/effort you're putting towards SEO. If SEO isn't a top source of traffic/customers for you, then I'd say don't bother. Otherwise, it's useful mostly for tracking keyword rankings.

(It's too bad they don't have any plans smaller than $99. At that price, I'm constantly wondering whether I'm getting enough use out of it to justify the cost. If it was any lower, say, $49, I wouldn't even second-guess it.)

The core modules use Apple's Accessibility API to get access to other windows. AppleScript probably does the same thing internally. But using Mjolnir will have a different feel than using AppleScript.
I haven't run any anti-virus software for at least the past ten years either at work (Ubuntu), on my laptop (OSX) or at home (Windows 7).

To the best of my knowledge I've never succumbed to a virus and have certainly never seen any indication that I have!

I'm cautious with what software I choose to run and do cursory checks of links in e-mail/online. I really only run business related software (Sublime Text, CS Suite, Browsers, Autodesk Inventor, Eagle CAD, etc) and any games I do play (rarely!) are via Steam.

All machines are used regularly depending on where I am and what I'm doing. I'm the only person who uses any of them. I generally only re-install when I'm replacing a machine or substantially upgrading it (perhaps once a year or so).

Amethyst is a window manager more like Slate. Mjolnir is an automation app that can do a lot of things, including window management.
Pure 2-space copy collectors are very rare. Typically they are generational, so most GCs end up only copying recently allocated data (which is much more likely to be garbage).

In general though, the more frequently you GC, the more time you spend overall doing GC. This is part of why reference counted implementations tend to be slower (amortized) than other GC algorithms.
Twitpic is shutting down
No, there really hasn't. And it's a little embarrassing. Lawyers, doctors, carpenters, electricians, engineers, etc. don't feel the need to produce countless rhetorical manifestos. I'm not sure why our profession (or craft, or whatever you want to call it) has to come with so much cultural baggage, especially when there are so many real problems left to be solved.

Aren't debit cards part of the problem? I only use my credit card and then just pay that as I go. Much easier to dispute charges on a credit card.

Also, if the card is stolen and my bank account is emptied, with a credit card all that would happen is that my credit limit on one of my cards is temporarily reduced.

1. First of all, nice work! I know how tough it is just to take such quality photos and upload them.
I'd find your site more useful if the photos came with some labels for the parts, captions, and perhaps short descriptions. I like the way ifixit.com does it, but for me the more such sites, the merrier.

> Netflix is particularly unsympathetic in my eyes, because its just a middle man. Almost all the real value (the content, and the wires that deliver the content to consumers) is created by other people.

That is a very strange way to look at things. The rate you're going, I can call anything pretty much anything. What is an ISP but a middle man -- they only facilitate content going from one end to another? Why is content the real value -- to me, it's totally formulaic, dull, uninspiring trash these days. See? You must explain more rigorously the criteria with which you're judging things here.

I also think your reduction of Netflix technology is peculiar - creating Netflix is no trivial feat. Reliable and user-friendly streaming technology for the masses, if it were so easy, would have been done earlier by other big companies. Netflix is doing a lot of things right, including making their own content of all varieties (children shows, adult shows, etc.) that seems to be received well by folks.

I'm guessing that you value the fact that ISPs have poured a fair bit of money into setting up the infrastructure. It's a good point, but I think ultimately moot. Lots of companies give it their all and still die. The people's will rules at the end of the day, whether to do business with them, whether to shape law to grant them their livelihood. This time, I'm personally okay with how people are judging ISPs.
I am using MyHDL for sometime.
> they still ban alcohol for Muslims (but allow it for tourists, because money)

They allow it for non-Muslim foreigners (who must, however, obtain permits to purchase it -- or pork, which is apparently covered by the same permit), which isn't the same as "tourists" -- the vast majority of Qatar's resident population is foreigners (pop > 2M, citizens < 300K), and a fairly sizable share of them are non-Muslim (largely Christian and Hindu.)

Totally agree on all points. Personally I think local-loop unbundling (UK-style) is probably the only viable way to get more competition back.

It's weird to pine for the good ol' days of dialup internet, but when anyone could offer internet services over a common leased infrastructure (the phone system) there was vibrant competition.
A Beats co-founder's second act
I run Linux now so it's a moot point, but I survived for years without any infection or malware running Windows without an AV solution. It's all common sense really. Of course, if you have a system where it can be used by the public (or family members that don't know at least two programming languages), you should have some sort of protection.
Good points. I will work on improving the introduction of the landing page to explain this better.

To be honest, it's kind of hard to explain what Mjolnir can do, because really it's just a Lua environment. I wrote some Lua modules people can install that bridge over internal OS X APIs to do things like access windows and stuff. But really, the power lies in your imagination of what you want to automate, and Mjolnir just gives you the power to automate them.
Because basically to every other manufacturer this is just another netbook. The OS is designed for everything that netbooks were originally touted for after all.
It's right in the darned license for markdown:

"Neither the name “Markdown” nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission."

Legalities aside, this is a dick move that goes directly against the license.

As for your genericization argument, what do you think are the first 2 results in Google for markdown? And the wikipedia description (3rd result) includes both the syntax and the 'tool'. Popular != Generic
No, SWIFT is for international interbank settlements (transfers between commercial banks). Here's a description of the cumbersome process: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/2012/12/international-bank-tra...

The total balance of electronic currency in a commercial bank is tracked by the central bank of the currency in question (eg. the Federal Reserve for USD for the US, Danmarks Nationalbank for DKK in Denmark).

The Federal Reserve is the authority on the (electronic) USD balance of each US bank, and no non-US banks can have a USD balance (this happens via so-called intermediate banks where, for example, a Danish bank has a USD balance with a US "intermediate" bank).

Intrabank transfers (transfers from one account at a bank to another account in the same bank) is simply a change in that bank's local database. Interbank transfers (a transfer from one commercial bank to another) within the same country is handled by the central bank (since the central bank is the authority on the commercial bank balance of the currency they produce/manage).
It sounds like you actually largely agree with SomeCallMeTim. His point above is that solving Education is a Big Problem that has many non-trivial issues involved (entrenched interests, low budgets, slow purchase cycles, etc.), yet he "still wants to try." You make the point that the "industry is not welcoming for entrepreneurs", but at the same time, you are running an education start-up, which suggests to me that you believe it is possible to make a dent in the problems plaguing education.

My Big Problem to solve is education as well, and currently, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to tackle the root cause. I feel we are all inclined to use technology as the path to success, but perhaps more fundamental issues need to be dealt with first. If this is the case, then which issue do we initially target -fighting predatory business practices, creating a culture that values education, establishing employment credibility for non-traditional education, something else?
I wouldn't say either are "easy". A new vaccine for the flu every year is more like finding a new lock combo solution for the same lock (recombinant DNA).

Having to find a new antibiotic more like an entirely different door. Vaccines merely find a way to train our immune systems to tag the villain. Anti biotics have to actually find weaknesses and exploit a biochemical pathway that can be disrupted etc.
I'm about to read the article, but maybe roasting weather in Qatar has something to do with it. I will ask my Finnish friends to see if it is something usual, though.

Why stop there? Why not go to a place that also lacks basic infrastructure?

I do agree that most of the people I've met would do well to actually go see the absolute hopelessness that much of the world lives in. To meet people whose entire existence will consist of scraping by in the mud until they die from some minor injury or trivially curable disease. That the "cute" things they do, like carrying water in a jug on their head miles, is because they have no other choice. That preserving their "culture" means forcing women to repeatedly get pregnant, despite an abysmal survival rate. That they see enough children die, to the point where they delay naming their child so as to not get too attached to soon.

But exposure is different than living in such a place. While I want my daughters to realise the shitty reality of nature, I don't want them to have to experience it too closely.
> *tourists).

Actually "non-Muslim foreigners". Which isn't just tourists; its something between a quarter and a third of the resident population of Qatar.
Ceylon does better in this regard [1]. Ceylon and Kotlin share some features and aesthetics but Ceylon provides a lot more power over java8 than a nicer syntax for lambdas, e.g. algebraic types. I'm also excited about Ceylon's module system [2].

It's not really agreeing to disagree when you're openly mocking the idea across multiple paragraphs.
long time coming really. follows long narrative/twitter history where twitter forced it's way into owning the photo content shared on the service....allowing only a few like twitpic to maintain the key aspect 'embeddability/previews'. What still remains interesting to me is that at one point instagram was gaining an incredible amount of speed in becoming the defacto picture sharing service on twitter -- but then they had the spat with fb/insta and twitter stopped the previews for instagram pics. Instagram has a huge community so survived fine, but it could and still could be so much more with twitter integration...but that sanction has never been lifted.
The Falcon9 for example has a payload of 13,150 kg to LEO and 4,850 kg to GTO so that is nearly 3 times the cost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_9). Every rocket I have checked has a similarly small payload to GTO compared to LEO.

The problem is that even though its not that much fuel to get from LEO to GTO, you have to haul all that fuel up to LEO first.

They thought they wanted to get away from HFT. But once they were away from HFT they realized that the liquidity wasn't there and started trading on other venues. Barclay's dark pool was failing as it had no participation and like almost all the other dark pools in existence to get around this they started letting HFTs in.

The difference is that in Barclay's case they lied about it and thus committed fraud.
We've had our Dyson for 5+ years now with no issues, but we may get a different brand soon. We recently started looking at new carpeting and when the guy came to do measurements he commented on the Dyson: "That vacuum will shorten the life of your carpet faster than your kids."

At first I blew it off, but there are some carpets that will only honor their warranty if you use certain vacuums, so it seems like it might be a real issue.
Well ... HTTP is terribly complicated, and about as bad a fit for the problem as it can get? It has tons of overhead (at least compared to the mostly tiny payloads you can expect for IM), it doesn't support push delivery (except through horrible hacks like long polling), doesn't really support pipelining, in particular over TLS, none of the mechanisms that HTTP does provide seems to be of any use whatsoever for the purpose ... and then they complain about SIP!

Overall, it makes the impression on me like it was designed by someone who doesn't know much more than how to build web apps and therefore is afraid of anything not HTTP, and so will use HTTP no matter what, even if there are essentially only disadvantages compared to pretty much any alternative you could come up with.

(Oh, and also, they claim being "RESTful", without being anything like that ...)
It's a little tone deaf to talk about inspiring women to enter tech while calling them "chicks" and "girls".
The answer is easy - so that the schoolday is over by 1 PM and the children can indulge in activities not organized by the school in the afternoon. One might go to the public library, play sports in a sports club, or - God prevent! - socialize with friends.

This is important. The mindset is that it isn't the school that is running the students' lives, it is the students and the students' families. Unlike in America, life for school-age children does not revolve around the school.

The term 'real-time' is used _very_ loosely here.
In industrial settings, in order to claim realtime-properties, you need to make guarantees about the runtime behavior of server, client and the network infrastructure in between.

IP-based Ethernet -> not realtime capable (without extensions)

Python (garbage collected language) -> not realtime capable

You can at most claim to achieve soft-realtime.

I'm not sure what you mean by applying the algorithm to IP quads? If you give me the name "google.com", there is no algorithm I can apply which yields the IP address, correct? Because that IP address could be reassigned to a different name, right? The only way I can make the connection is to do a DNS lookup, which I thought is essentially just searching a database for "google.com" and returning me the corresponding IP address.

It's almost to the point where there should be trademark laws that start to enforce a type of product to protect consumers. Like when Pyrex changed the composition and started breaking.

> > In Finland, students aren’t subjected to standardized tests

> This is incorrect

Apparently there are national standardized tests every three years (near the ends of 3rd, 6th, 9th grades).

But their main purpose is for the government to collect statistics, the grades of individual students are still left for their teachers to decide, the grades do not mechanically follow from the performance in these tests.

Then for the ca. 50% of population who go to gymnasium [1] ("high school"), at the end of 12th grade there are national standardized finals with nationally evaluated grades.

I think the card you have is RFID enabled. They've been around for a while, and have some weaknesses (replay attacks [1], notably), against the ID they broadcast when inside an EM field.

The newer cards have a microprocessor inside them, with exposed contacts about 10mm from the left edge. With chip + pin transactions, the pin "unlocks" the payment authorization [2].
