Cool article & design approach. I've really enjoyed the Heavybit talk a couple weeks back, wrote about it today at HB blog: http://blog.heavybit.com/blog/apiary-api-design-versioning-t...
OpenWRT seems to be fairly well maintained but I haven't used it long enough to have run into devices being dropped. It doesn't have as wide a range of support to begin with either from what I understand. I've heard lots of good things about tomato that way also but it doesn't support the devices I have.
We also wrote a blog about the talk http://blog.heavybit.com/blog/apiary-api-design-versioning-t...

Very interesting talk!
The license is pretty concerning. If anyone using ZFS sues Oracle for a patent issue, then Oracle can revoke their license to use ZFS in 60 days. (Not a lawyer, my interpretation might be wrong.)

Probably OK for home use, but not much more. Even a small startup with no patents could end up getting bought by a larger company that does have patents. Then that company could be vulnerable, perhaps even if they are trying to use their patents defensively.
Well put about when it doesn't. It can be tricky, and it definitely depends on how well the user can manage their vices. I'm able to, so it works out. I eat very well and exercise tons, so I'm very healthy otherwise. It's dangerous to exercise on the drug, which is just one of the many reasons I don't do it often.

I do know some people who smoke a lot of weed, and are super productive and sharper than ever on the high. Unfortunately, that's not me.
That reads a bit odd.

"I used to be fluent in French. But I got sick of remembering all the arcane stuff. Now it's just pages away in a phrase book."

Probably you were never really fluent in French in the first place. Which is to say, you were never really entirely comfortable at the shell. Which is fine - as I said, I don't assert that it's the best fit for everyone. But for me, just like producing English doesn't feel like I'm "remembering arcane stuff" neither does producing Bash, even though I fully recognize that objectively both are plenty weird.
Better drugs than they are currently on. Nobody wants to admit it, but that is the real reason for the change in inflection of the line. See cycling.
If they could just implement it in a lightweight fashion, I might be able to put up with it. But glitzy UI seems to routinely overload nearly every machine I use, which makes it 10x worse. Thanks, you not only made the UI worse, but now it stutters, my fans spin up, and my browser (sometimes) freezes. Progress!

Has anyone tried ZFS together with Hadoop/HDFS? I find it to be a really interesting combination because of compression and self-healing of bad data-blocks.
Can you please elaborate? Genuinely curious.

Hey Jesse! I completely agree. Henri and I were both impressed with the level of specificity, even while getting rejected.

Also, throughout the raising process, it has been interesting to see how people say no in general. It says a lot of about a person or an organization (both how they deal with rejection and issue it).

Hope Dasher is going well! Let's catch up soon.

I've always assumed movies were watermarked, so we know who owned the copy that was cracked. It could be powerful: If a unique identifier is embedded in every copy, it could track the origin down to the theater room or down to the watcher.

Wikipedia puts Ruby at 1993. I think it's reasonable to assume that Matz hadn't heard of a project that started not much earlier.

"I guess" you didn't think to check.
I demonstrated the Actiontec Q1000 exploit on Track 0. As a security professional I am very interested in responsible disclosure, and had already reported the vulnerability to Century Link 6+ months before Defcon (slight correction to the article, the ISP is not Verizon). I first read about the SOHOplessly broken contest on HN the week before Defcon and figured I'd apply since I already had a 0-day in my back pocket.

As the article says the manufacturer has acknowledged the vulnerability, but I have not heard from them for quite a while. I've begun to wonder how much time has to pass without a fix before it would be irresponsible of me not to fully disclose the vulnerability. Lately I've been thinking that full disclosure may be the only responsible way to disclose a vulnerability. But I am still conflicted.

Nokia maps did this. Also you could set a speed limit warning at your preferred limit, usually about 10% above for me. It was quite handy on long drives.
I find your post rather interesting. I do have a question however, Why not using a code review system like gerrit and verify every patchset by the continuous integration server?
It's down to the binary drivers. They lock firmwares to a specific kernel.

Your only option is to backport fixes. I read in forums that devs aren't interested do to introducing bugs and citing lack of free time. I roll my own Tomato kernel but I've only included a couple backports.

From: http://phuu.net/2014/08/31/csp-and-transducers.html

"To me, transducers are a generic and composable way to operate on a collection of values, producing a new value or new collection of new values. The word 'transducer' itself can be split into two parts that reflect this definition: 'transform' — to produce some value from another — and 'reducer' — to combine the values of a data structure to produce a new one."

Turn off Javascript for the page. Everything loads instantly, no more animation.

The amount of work that went into making this pretty-good layout unreadable is insane.
So I checked the definition of a transducer,but i'm not smart enough to get it. What the difference between that library and say lodash where I can bind and compose functions? because it seems like the same stuff

var f=_.compose( _.partialRight(_.filter,isEven),_.partialRight(_.map,inc)) ;

Crypto wars redux: why the FBI's desire to unlock private life must be resisted
I'm a high school teacher, and I'd love to hear from some people who know Visual Basic well. I teach an intro programming class each year, and I currently use Python. I occasionally get students who have had a previous class in Visual Basic at another school. These students tend to think they already "know programming", but after two or three weeks in Python they start to tell me they're learning all kinds of concepts they didn't know about, and they say they're enjoying programming in Python more than Visual Basic. There are lots of variables in their experience though, so it's hard to tell exactly what is making programming more interesting to them.

My questions:

- Do you have any thoughts about people being introduced to Visual Basic as their first programming language?

- If one group of students are taught Visual Basic well, and another group is taught Python well, will all students come away with a decent grounding in programming?

I don't ask that as a language flame war, I'm honestly curious about how programming in the VB environment compares to languages I'm more familiar with such as Python, Java, C etc, especially for students who have no previous background in programming.
Let's say it's John at the FDA coming up with this stuff. But John is really a victim of the system set up around him. He's following orders. He's just doing his job. He has already rationalized his guilt away from this deed.

Instead, how about we let the FDA continue with their silliness of approving or not approving drugs based on whatever criteria they want, while still allowing non-FDA approved drugs to be sold?

That way we can all decide, at point of sale, if we are going to trust FDA's opinion or not. They can put big warning labels if they want (the retailers, not the government).

The problem here is the FDA has a monopoly on deciding which drugs two people can exchange for money. They can keep judging drugs all they want, but their control of what hits the shelves is unconstitutional and immoral.

EDIT: to downvote this is to be against personal responsibility; the UK has a great nanny state you might want to partake in.
At the project rate of decline that their model suggests. The 2 hour mark should have been broken by now.
FWIW, I agree with the general sentiment of your comment. If somebody has truly decided that the suffering they are experiencing outweighs whatever joy they experience from life, and they want to get off this ride, then they absolutely have the right to do so.

Of course not everybody who thinks they want to die is being rational at the time, and I'm all for making treatment, counseling, etc. available... but speaking for myself, I know that if/when I ever decide that I want out, I don't want anybody presuming some authorization to interfere with me.

So yeah, put me in the "right to die" camp.

But us humans, we have to suffer to the very end. Why?

Because it's a cultural meme that "human life is sacrosanct and must be preserved at all cost" or whatever. It's really pretty silly when you think about it.
I'm consistently surprised by what the human body is able to achieve. If you've never heard of ultra marathon runners, you should check out this episode of radiolab. This lady runs for days on end in ultramarathons. http://www.radiolab.org/story/122291-in-running/

It's intriguing that she suffered brain trauma and there's a part of her brain that doesn't function as expected. I expect there will be a marathon runner with a very specific brain trauma. The trauma will give him an unfair advantage to run a sub two hour marathon.
Well, it has the low-speed torque of a race car. 0-60 is a stat that electric cars are uniquely good at. It's not the only stat that matters to race cars.

Good response, worth the read. Heck the response alone could justify their own article.

As an aside: I hate quora' site design so much I have blacklisted it using Google Personal Blocklist. Somehow I dislike it more than Experts Exchange (which is also blacklisted), it is just super cluttered with nonsense, rolls into the comments section without warning and rarely offers good content (see Experts Exchange again).

That being said Yahoo! Answers also rarely has good content but at least with Yahoo! Answers you can determine that with a glance. You visit the page and you can see the answer (or lack of answer). So Yahoo! Answers remains in my search results, Quora and Expert Exchange have been vanished indefinitely.

PS - Quora also likes to spawn pop ups whenever you click anywhere on the page for no real reason (just asks for your Quora login details). For someone who randomly highlights blocks of text while reading this is pure hell...
> Another important condition a cash equivalent needs to satisfy is that the investment should have insignificant risk of change in value; thus, common stock cannot be considered a cash equivalent

"Marketable securities" is an extremely broad category. Some marketable securities are cash equivalents, but common stocks are not. Their value is too volatile to be considered a cash equivalent.

To qualify as a cash equivalent, an asset must have very little chance of decreasing in value. Such assets tend to have very low return on investment.

Meta Note

I'm not sure if its the software or the OP who added the "?share=1" parameter but thank you for including it in the link.

The flag makes reading quora possible. If HN doesn't add this parameter by default I think it would be a worth while upgrade to the site.

Lots of great content is locked in quora otherwise.

If all I'm doing is domConstruct.put() instead of $().append() then of course you're right. Dojo in addition to browser normalization and other good things that jQuery does, suggests a structure that works pretty well. jQuery to my knowledge does not.

Ask HN: How to find a tech partner
I have a social media project on mind but I am stuck without a tech expert. Realizing this is a pretty friendly and relevant forum, I would appreciate advice of any kind on how to proceed as I feel I am not on the right track.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8437430

Several approaches I can think of, and am exploring:

1. Learn to program myself. I majored in physics and knew some archaic programming languages like, Pascal, C, Assembly (I once spent a night using assembly language to control a robotic arm to do Hanoi Tower recursion). I was advised learning could take at least 1 year and distract me from the business side of the project. The issue for me is timing and whether it was worth it if I could otherwise find an expert to do it better.

2. Going to an app development agency, on which I have done some research. Drawback is expense as well as unfamiliarity with the industry. Also given the dynamic nature of the project, I feel maybe I need a CTO rather than work for hire. Agency could give me a clear cut beta version to kick start the project though.

3. Looking for independent tech experts who have the expertise and share the interest in the project. This is an ideal scenario for me, though in reality it is not so easy to find such people. I know this forum has many tech experts, so any advice or recommendation is greatly appreciated.
Owner Here: First of all Id like to apologize for the lack of UI (not really big on UI) but if this becomes popular enough Ill look into doing it. To run existing UI you will need some midi files to play around with. First set the FinalUIBase as the startup project. Run the application. Load up (or create a neural network). Next create the statistical model and the fine tune your genetic parameters and run the search. Once the search is complete the ListBox on the right should fill up with items. Press on the items to hear the melodies composed (higher on the list = higher rated by neural network). Would love to hear some feedback! and feel free to email me any questions.
FWIIW, this research is not new. As the article noted, the drug is a relative of Ibogaine, which people have noticed has some "anti-addiction" properties for ... oh, I don't know; at least 50 years now (probably it was used for this purpose by the pygmies who actually discovered it). The article didn't note that one of the early therapeutic uses of LSD and other psychedelics: treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction. It was reasonably successful; there is no reason to believe the Ibogaine has any special properties that make it work better.

While I haven't examined the literature in detail, it's pretty obvious (from my youthful indiscretions, and observations of others) that tripping balls might give you a sort of "come to Jesus" moment that makes drinking and smoking crack seem like kind of a bad idea. Or, perhaps it temporarily blows out your dopamine system. Either way, if this substance works like the other psychedelic treatments, it should be obvious it isn't a long term effective treatment for drug addiction, since plenty of psychedelic users end up addicted to other drugs, and nobody talks about dropping acid and deciding to quit snorting coke (despite similar clinical successes in the 50s).

Not that I think the FDA should block this; even if it is psychedelic snake oil, they shouldn't be in the business of blocking research on such topics.
People have to train and city road is not best of surfaces. So it is very possible that somewhere someone already ran faster than 2 hours, just did not care to record it or announce it.
> Now we all have a (very telling) comparison point.

Yes, an oranges to apples one. A $10,000 bike compared to a $100,000 car? A ~400 pound machine compared to a ~5000 pound one?

Yes, the Tesla is really cool, and has staggering acceleration, but let's not get silly with comparisons (and accolades) here.
Marathon and other endurance sports are interesting.

It takes a toll on the body. It catabolizes it. Compare a marathon runner with a 100m runner.

Also, as expected, temperature plays a big factor in it, which makes me wonder why so many people "love when it's a nice day" (read: sunny and hot) to exercise.
Do you work at DirectIQ? This seems more of an advertisement than something to spark a discussion. Your link even takes people to the homepage, not any kind of article talking about the pros and cons of each service.
I especially like this paragraph from the story: "Kenyans and Ethiopians have dominated the marathon since 1999; in fact, of the 100 fastest marathoners in history, 59 are from Kenya and 31 are from neighboring Ethiopia. Is it genes or environment—nature or nurture—that is responsible for this overwhelming domination? The answer doesn’t actually matter when it comes to who will run the first sub-two marathon. The success of East African runners reveals key traits that the eventual record-setter will possess, wherever he happens to be born." Yes, no matter where the runner who first runs a sub-two-hour marathon is born, from whatever group of ancestors, and where the runner trains, the runner will have to have certain characteristics to run that fast for that long. The article then proceeds to detail those characteristics.

I used to turn off a lot of Javascript on webpages, but I'm actually managing to read this article reasonably well despite the appalling usability it has with Javascript turned on. The article is definitely worth a read, despite the annoying default screen presentation.
I encounter more and more vb.net because Microsoft uses it as their default "scripting" language for products like SQL Reporting Services. And for that, it actually seems to make sense as a language. In small sniplets it works better than C#.

But honestly Microsoft missed a huge opportunity by not simply making classic VB6 code run under the CLR. In entirely defeats the point of having a common language runtime if every language has to look exactly the same. It wouldn't have been an insurmountable project and would have driven higher the adoption of proper .NET.
The Antikythera Machine is so remarkably cool -- it is as complex as any machine humans could create up until the 14th Century. There are tendrils that possibly connect it to Archimedes or his School.

Moreover, we give users two very powerful differences neither of the other options you mentioned do, along which achieving a philosophical model that better maps to the way security should be deployed on the Internet.

1) The ability to granularly control the policy down to the device or user.

2) The ability to bypass blocked sites with credentials.

This is because we push policy to the edge. Security enforcement must be done at the edge to be done properly, doing it in the core (like an ISP or IX) is the wrong place to enforce security policy because it forces a one-size-fits-all approach that is inappropriate for Internet users.
