> [..] multi-touch gestures to use to find that chrome popup window that disappeared [..]

This may not help for your case, but it may interest keyboard shortcut junkies.

When I was getting used to the "interesting" way OS X handles CMD+TAB versus Windows' ALT+TAB, I was also frustrated at the app-vs-window issue.

I eventually figured out this workaround, which sounds complicated but is now muscle memory:

1. Hold CMD. (Don't let go until I say so.)

2. Press TAB once.

3. Tap the arrow keys (LEFT/RIGHT) to go to the correct application, e.g. Chrome.

4. When you have the correct application selected, press DOWN. (You can release CMD now.)

5. This will display all of the open windows for this application (same as "4 finger swipe down" gesture). You can use the arrow keys to navigate this. An extremely subtle blue halo is displayed around the selected window. Press RETURN to select.
Another amazing/frightening statistic is that pyroclastic flows killed people living 30 miles away over open ocean. If I was living that far away across an ocean, I would have felt perfectly safe. It just boggles my mind that even at this distance Krakatoa was deadly.
Also reproduced on 10.9.5 -- you would think that there's sometone at Apple looking at this forum and at hannob's bashcheck and that it would get tested. I guess there will be a 1.1 version of the update soon?
That could be fixed by this patch[0], which is not official and might break backward compatibility.

If you're facing an attacker with arbitrary control of both name and value of environment variables, and shell scripts that don't sanitize, you've got worse problems IMO.

Still, some Linux distributions are applying this unofficial patch, to only parse function definitions in prefixed environment variables to mitigate the threats.

The problem with unlicensed spectrum is the same as for anarchist utopia. There's essentially a single rule (maximum power limit, but even that is poorly enforced), but lots of anti-social behaviors are possible even abiding by that rule.

There has been some very good work in how to add more structure and rules to unlicensed while keeping its good qualities: http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=411... http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=154265...

I don't know about GMail specifically, but I suspect your approach of using neural networks is the best one given the state-of-the-art in machine learning today.

You can think of naive bayes and a perceptron as roughly equivalent in terms of expressiveness--they're both linear models--but a perceptron is usually better since it can account for correlations between input variables.

As you say, a perceptron is a one-layer neural network, so with a large enough training set, a multi-layer neural network will almost certainly perform better since it can recognize combinations of features that work well together.

Bayesian filtering for spam detection is a good starting point since it's easy to implement, and was very popular in the mid-2000s, but with all the advancements in deep learning since 2006, I'd almost certainly bet on a neural network these days.
Great! This should fix that lockscreen bug and a few others. But lets keep our fingers crossed now.
I've not used it but you might want to look into this article http://www.niftiestsoftware.com/2011/09/24/converting-a-virt... (I'm assuming you are using virtualbox but if you aren't then I'm not sure how to do it but I'm sure google does. They don't offer desktop versions of windows for EC2 (only server), I'm not sure if a desktop windows VM will even run (and a quick google says no http://superuser.com/questions/564768/can-i-run-windows-7-in...).

I once ran a windows VM because I needed a cloud server that I could run iTunes on and that worked well enough but I don't think you will have as much luck for what you are looking to do. Also the workspaces stuff is too expensive as it is by month not by hour.

Unless you want to use linux as your desktop I don't think there is a cost-effective way to host your desktop in the cloud.
I don't want to get into details because there are loads of possible and creative solutions. An API could be created very easily to have an application request services from the OS and have those services installed locally within the installation directory structure of the app. From that point forward the app can travel from machine to machine and retain the environment it requires.

Of course there are tons of details to work out. My point is that we live in an age where computing power, memory, storage and remarkably intelligent computer scientists abound. With some work this is not beyond our capabilities.

Imagine the selling point of an OS that allows you to isolate your apps and data to the point where they travel with you to be used on any machine (or machine migrations as people and companies upgrade systems).
Exacerbated the conflict? What else do you imagine Apple is going to do to them?
The problem is: We programmers choose to stick to the companies run by money crazy people who don't care about us. It's a choice we make. We want to feel safe, love to see payment coming to our bank accounts every week. Problem is in us, not in the people who run the business - most of them have no respect for developers.
We all need to be brave, make better choices, refuse to be slaves, search for better options - isn't it what we Engineers are supposed to do?
If we start leaving companies who don't treat programmers well, eventually they'll realize the fact. It's already happening..... more developers are doing start-ups, more people are doing freelancing.....
Finally, NO UNIONS please..... we enjoy solving problems, we enjoy programming, Money comes second.....
Probably because he suspects that it will be more up to date than the PPA; however Michael DeHaan comments that Ansible themselves maintain the PPA so it will be as up to date as the PyPI version.

The other reason might be to support multiple versions of Ansible and its dependencies simultaneously, via virtualenvs.
Given that this appears to have been a legitimately purchased iPhone 6 Plus, I'm not sure what Apple PR could conceivably do to prevent this in the future.

if somebody can use it better why would you get assigned rights to the shared state resource like water in the first place? It is not like the water is collected on your land or pumped from your well (such cases would have at least some logic behind it)
All of Apple's OS updaters are signed by Apple's internal CA and verified at install time -- that's why there's no checksum: http://idzr.org/ba4o
So my wife and I went into an Apple store yesterday and tried to bend a 6+. Using a level of pressure no more than what I'd be willing to use for my own Nexus 5, I couldn't even get it to flex. The bigger issue is that it seems designed to fly out of your hand, between the rounded sides and slick aluminum.
Lets assume that everyone owns an iphone (because that is reasonable): What happens when you sustain an injury that has impaired your vision? I call emergency services and tell them my address or the address at the person's house I was working at. What are you going to do?
First, pointers are typically unsigned integers. Second, memory addresses are virtual, they don't have to exist physically. That is, you don't have to physically have up through 2 quintillion addressable bytes for a pointer with that value to be valid. This is especially true with Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) security techniques employed by operating systems.

tl;dr: all valid pointer values are possible, regardless of how much memory you actually have.
It's really a matter of opinion.I personally hate the Stylus/Jade combo.

LESS looks like CSS,designers/integrators know it or it's easy for them to learn.Same thing for template engines that abstract html too much.There's no need to do that.

As for SASS,node-sass isnt in sync with the latest SASS version and you cant run it in a browser.LESS is good enough for most use cases.
Business as usual as far as I am concerned.

Apple had super harsh responses to internal folks giving out bumpers to people during the iPhone 4 release, I know more than one guy who got fired for acknowledging the problem to a customer and helping them out before Apple corporate had an official policy.
For instance, the missing Libyan jetliner story has been shared more than 140,000 times despite being questioned by the respected rumor-tracking website Snopes ...... the Snopes page on the jetliner story has been shared only 735 times since it was revised to classify the rumor false, a small fraction of the circulation of articles endorsing the claim.

This example shows the correction for a rumor is much less popular than the rumor itself. I'm not convinced that his shows that true stories are less popular or less engaging than rumors. It shows that people are more responsive to positive claims than negative ones.

A stronger analysis would look at the top 100 shared/liked stories in a timeframe. Then determine the ratio of rumor to fact amongst this set of stories.

Something else to consider: I read the article and did not question the factual basis of the claims made. Even gave it an uptick on HN. But I didn't check the sources, even though they are conveniently linked throughout the article. As far as I can tell, this makes me no different than the fella on Facebook who likes a story without checking it out. I'm doing as much work as he is. Right-leaning conspiracy theories feel right to him. Systemic cognitive biases that effect the masses (but surely not me!) feel right to me.
My wife is a geo-chemist. She says that plastic is a better term to get an idea on the mantel. Yeah, it is a liquid, but the pressures and temperatures are just so crazy to us that calling it 'roiling' is a little bit of a misnomer. Also, because of these pressures and temperatures, it's hard to ever know anything about the interior of the planet. Turns out, dense things that are very deep and hot are very hard to study.
I'd like to point out here that, at least in Seattle, there's only one shop and so prices are going to rise accordingly.
Frankly, and succinctly, I think you got down-voted because you did not use the word quarantine in your original post. It read as if you were proposing to send drones to indiscriminately murder people in the affected areas.

Which takes us to the point of how, exactly, do you think you can enforce a quarantine using drones? Sure, you can blow up everything that moves in a perimeter... but how are you going to pick your targets if civil authorities do not close all roads/ports/air-traffic? And how do you minimize the spread within the city once they have done that? You need boots on the ground to do that effectively!

Drones are the atomic bombs of 21th century. A specific technology with extremely specific military applications that gets transformed by popular imagination into a symbol of limitless power. e.g. Drones have become the ultimate thought stoppers.
You need a secure channel like HTTPS to get that hash, in which case, does it really matter if you just run the script anyways?
I do give some props for productivity and sharing a solution with the community (rather than just bitching about other peoples' solutions).

This looks pretty well-put-together to get a project started quickly, though my personal preferences might have been sass/foundation. To me those are small nitpicks in the scheme of things, and you're never going to be able to please everyone with your choices for defaults :D

The checkmark tables get under my skin a bit since they're mostly a specific set of dependencies (which of course your framework 'aces') rather than a comparison of actual features (in fairness, asset pipeline/DI I'd consider features).

Anyway, this is neat and looks worth some exposure. Keep on hacking!
I realize that I'm going to be a bit pedantic here, and it is not an argument I would support, but your statement *"Contrast with files, which I own ..." which is only true in a limited sense. If you have a book, in a file, which is stored on your device for your Kindle app, Amazon will tell you that you don't own it, what you "own" is a right to view it in the Kindle app for as long as your maintain your side of the agreement and Amazon doesn't feel like using one of their escape clauses.

Now I completely get how crazy that makes people, who argue "I paid money, I got this thing, I own it." but the only reason that it is in a "file" today is because Amazon hasn't figured out how to give you access to it without giving you a file. Nothing in the Adobe announcement changes anything, except that it provides for them, what they consider to be a better implementation of their rights management paradigm. Again, I don't condone or support it, but it's important to note that their thinking hasn't changed, only their implementation has. This also helps them to avoid you reverse engineering their files which they don't like because it allows you to circumvent their rights management tools. Again, I don't condone or support, just report.

So what may happen here is that something which has some value to a person, will be put outside their reach behind a price they are unwilling to pay. I understand that this situation sucks, but on the positive side it adds energy to the 'free' side of the equation because if there really is value there, it is only extractable if stealing is less easy than paying, and paying is at a market price that can support the energy of making it available. That price may be in programmer hours, not necessarily in dollars.
I'd guess that the rights were assigned in the past, and they made sense then. In the present there are different, better uses for the water, but the rights have not been reassigned.
As an aside, the video that really demonstrates how easily iPhone 6+ can bend is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ3Ds6uf0Yg

Seems to have been bent with considerably small effort, and very quickly.
Yes! My favorite example of this is the sound made by the space shuttle's solid rocket boosters at liftoff. Techies who have seen recordings of shuttle launches generally assume the guttural crackling, popping roar sound they hear is due to a badly adjusted microphone clipping the loud sounds. In fact, this was a physical phenomenon that could be heard in real life, due to the pressure waves physically "clipping" against a vacuum upon reaching the atmospheric pressure limit! Sorry I can't seem to find any better sources, but this is an anecdote I've heard from several witnesses: http://forums.prosoundweb.com/index.php?topic=98023.25;wap2

Here's a good example of the sound I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnoNITE-CLc&t=1m44s
For those who aren't German and may not know Computerbild or it's publisher. They have about as low a reputation as you can get, so low in fact that sometimes this seems to be the entire goal of what they are doing.

Everything they claim should be taken with a huge grain of salt, in fact one should probably assume their claims to be false until proven otherwise.
Oh agreed, the article just goes into so much detail about sound. Seemed relevant (in my head).

This is a teachable moment for some managers at Apple in Germany; or as they might be saying to themselves, "Today I Learned about the Streisand Effect."

No matter whether or not bendgate is or is not an issue, blacklisting and thumbing your nose at journalists is not a good PR move. I'm surprised people at major corporations keep screwing this up.
Completely fair response.

You are absolutely right that contributing (even in a minor way) to OSS is difficult.

However, compared to a few "me too!" comments on your blog, and a few minutes of feeling superior to someone who actually did something, the feeling of actually contributing something real to a project (even of small value) is incomparable.
'Ordo n squared' - to pretentious?
"Variable function parser inactive" -- interesting, did they apply the unofficial patch to namespace-prefix function definitions? This poster[0] seems to not have it, though. Who is right? The test at that github link seems a bit sketchy, by using a simple name like "a" instead of, say, __test_bashbug_a, and not checking the output very thoroughly. But it seems like it would fail the other way if there's a command named "a" in OS X's PATH...

That is the thread I am talking about! Everyone on OS X seemed excited, but I'm not sure that means it is working well yet. I will reply here soon if it is a good installer.
It takes up precious mind space for an ad-hoc one-off feature, instead of utilizing simple well-established unix commands commonly available on servers and usable for multiple purposes. Plus I'd say it gives a false sense of security because a moderately determined attacker can easily obfuscate his exploit so as to slip through this casual review process.
Well in the future they won't be getting review units and will have to wait in line like everyone else to review it. By then the embargo would have been lifted on other publications with review units and they likely won't get nearly as much traffic.
Are you running a public-facing Apache server on the beta?

I wouldn't call it disconcerting that they're focusing their resources on released versions of OS X. I'd rather they cover the other CVEs sooner and ship 10.10.0 with no issues[1] when it's done than divert engineering resources to ship a patch for Yosemite.

The author of the post a "grizzled game industry veteran." That explains a few things, while leaving others tantalizingly unclear. Such as that while the game industry can suck, it usually takes a few years of sleeping under bridges to get "grizzled."
> Just to prove that what happens is nothing but the truth.

No, it isn't, except in the most myopic and unhelpful way possible. It would be the truth to measure how much force is required and compare it to other phones on the market. It would be the truth to show that almost all phones bend when exposed to that kind of force.

It is not "the truth" to show a selective amount of the truth that allows people to keep believing a lie in order to sell papers, and I find it hard to sympathise with fake journalists losing privileges only afforded to legitimate members of the press.
That would have to be an ancient toilet to use 7 gallons of water. US law has required a maximum of 1.6 gallons per flush for new toilets since the late 90s, and I've never seen one more that used more than 3 in my life.
5G is going to require frequencies so high that you'll need femotcells everywhere [1]. A nice side-effect of this is that most building materials will filter out the signal, so frequency planning/cooperation isn't as necessary as with traditional cellular frequency bands.

Has there been backlash over color accuracy in Creative Cloud?

Because there are a lot of things Adobe might not care about as much as you'd like- but color accuracy is one of the things they care about A LOT.

(I spent a summer working in an art computing lab, nearly every minute of which was spent managing color accuracy)
Because the state generally arbitrates what the 'best' use of a shared resource is sub-optimally, usually according to politics, rather than economics.

Hence when the state allocates water you get a situation where crops that would be grown at a loss when paying for water, like rice and almonds, are given severely discounted access to water to encourage misallocation of water from profitable uses to unprofitable ones.

In a market economy when someone does something stupid, like thinking it's a good idea to grow rice in a desert the market responds by making their business unprofitable. In a political economy when someone does something stupid, everyone else goes without so that morons can grow rice and almonds in deserts. Therefore almond farmers being somewhat non-moronic will sell their water rights to people who need to take showers rather than grow almonds because they are at least intelligent enough to understand that more money is better than less money.

For an example see, any centrally planned economy, ever.
This isn't the Streisand Effect. Apple isn't censoring anyone.

Instead, Apple is doing exactly what that newspaper should have expected them to do: stop giving them test units and event invites. They're not entitled to that stuff, and Apple is under no obligation to invite hostile media to their events.

And yes, they are hostile. Consumer Reports proved that the iPhone 6 is not super-sensitive to bending, and in fact the 6+ is even more durable than the 6, and more durable than the HTC One (which Consumer Reports says "is largely regarded as a sturdy, solid phone"). That should have been the end of this whole farce. But the newspaper wanted to jump on the media bandwagon, pretending that the ability to bend a phone is somehow unique to the iPhone, and Apple rightfully decided the newspaper was no longer a business they wanted to work with.
There could be addressable memory with the high bit set, for example ROM space for booting or video memory.

That may be rare nowadays (or is it? I remember reading recently that some 64-bit CPU chose to preferably use a memory range from -2GB to +2GB. AMD64?), but whether there is is outside of the control of most language implementers. They can control their own memory allocator, though, and guarantee that it never stores 64-bit quantities at odd addresses.

If you are not a teacher or student actively using Google Classroom, you should pay attention to the comments from teachers and students here. Or go talk to a local teacher for their impression.

I've been doing that and the general response is overwhelmingly positive. Others have already stated why. I would like to amplify those sentiments:

+ Many alternative solutions on the market are generally considered to be sub-par, such as Moodle, Blackboard, etc. (I personally love the open source concept behind Moodle and have high hopes for them, but their implementation is oudated; fortunately, they know this and are working on it.)

+ Home-grown solutions are generally very poor for all kinds of reasons, including inability to find technical talent, bureaucracy and mismanagement, lack of budget, lack of project management, etc.

+ Google has a strong positive brand with teachers. While privacy concerns are growing, the overall community doesn't have the same stigma with Google that many readers of HN have. Google Apps for Education (GAFE) already had a decent footprint within schools and Google Classroom is piggybacking off of that penetration.

With that said, concerns about privacy, being operated by a separate for-profit, and comprehensiveness of features are great points and present ample opportunities for aspiring competitors. In some ways, Google Classroom just stepped up the game. If this causes anyone to release even better software for teachers and students, that's a great thing for teachers and students.
