I guess it would be cumbersome in a standard editor, maybe an ide which had function to create new methods and classes would be needed. also the added benefit is that the code could serve as a diagram of itself.

Andreessen graduated from UIUC and Bezos graduated from Princeton. Neither sought out a postgraduate education, which can hardly mean that one has dropped out. So much for "pattern recognition."

Speaking for myself, when I was getting into serious programming, it was right in the heyday of the Delicious Generation (Delicious Library, Disco, AppZapper and more). Back in the 10.4 / 10.5 days, eye candy and ease-of-use were the top priority. Some notable apps came out and they in turn inspired other developers to follow the same path - a polished user experience is absolutely vital. This creates a self-perpetuating cycle, where the existence of such apps creates fans who dream of making apps like that (I'm one of these).

I don't see that evidence of spies in government vindicates MCCarthy.

It might do if he had restricted himself to the threat of spies in the government, rather than instituting a campaign against communists and homosexuals throughout much of US society.

there aren't a lot of effective treatment options for IBS & IBDs like Crohn's & Ulcerative Colitis

I had IBS from the age of 10 to the age of 30. First off I have to say that IBS is not even remotely comparable to IBD. For most people, IBS is a very inconvenient life-altering syndrome. IBD is often 100x worse, increases the risks of colon cancer and can be life threatening. I wouldn't wish ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease (IBD) on my worst enemy.

Beyond that, I'm not sure why you think this pill would help your IBS. It is specifically meant to treat one particular problem - a clostridium difficile infection. Typically the colon is populated by helpful or otherwise non-harmful bacteria. Clostridium difficile is an opportunistic infection that often takes hold after someone takes a course of antibiotics that kills all the helpful bacteria. The fecal transplant puts back the normal bacteria into your colon, attempting to crowd out the clostridium difficile bacteria. There is anecdotal evidence of fecal transplants helping IBS or IBD but it has not been studied well. Source: http://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/clinical-upd... I would suspect much of the benefit to IBS from a fecal transplant (or fecal transplant pill) derives from the placebo effect.

After 20 years of having IBS, the best cure I found for myself was to eat a lot of dietary fiber and drink a lot of water. I haven't had symptoms of IBS for over 12 years now since doing that. Unfortunately I find I have to eat about 40 grams of dietary fiber and drink about a gallon and a half of water per day. That takes actual work, but it's worth it.

HTTP/2 is based on SPDY:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2#Genesis_in_and_later_dif...

So if they leave SPDY in place along with HTTP 2.0, they could wind up with strange incompatibilities occurring or site operators feeling like they need to support both SPDY and the HTTP 2.0 standard (rather than just the HTTP 2.0 standard).

Looking at it, it actually seems more progressive to dump SPDY and move to the SPDY-based HTTP 2.0 at this stage. Then ten years down the road hopefully SPDY will be dead and there will just be HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.0.

I can't think of one good reason why a SINGLE keypress at boot can wipe everything and revert to factory settings.
Moreover it isn't even password protected.

If you don't reflash the bios and you are dual booting ANYONE can walk over, turn your computer on, press space, and tada your computer is wiped.

This is the screen: http://imgur.com/wMtvgX3 I'd be willing to bet the majority of people would press space faced with that, especially after 15-20s of it sitting there doing nothing. (it sits at that screen for 30s unless you hit Ctrl-D)

The only reason I can think of that anyone would implement something so inane would be to discourage people from dual booting.

edit: I don't disagree that Google has contributed a lot to the Linux community. Overall I'm a pretty big fan of Google and I use a lot of their products. That said I still think their approach to ChromeOS has been very unfriendly towards Linux users. (they're bad vs. what they did was bad)

The difference now is that it's much harder. The overall competence and just general knowledge level is higher. Sorta like physics - essentially no one is going to make a discovery today just sitting around and thinking, unlike hundreds of years ago. Even comp sci: look at the algorithms that are named, coming from the 60s or 70s. You could invent them just by thinking about a problem. (I did exactly this. I spent a month designing some information retrieval code, because I've got no education, and then my friend pulls out a textbook and shows me my work, down to the same drawings.)

It's a good sentiment, because there still is tons of stuff out there still waiting. And not going out there and doing things is a sure way to not get s hit. But it's certainly more crowded and expectations seem a lot higher these days.

This seems to be a clear violation of the doctrine of separation of powers.

Even if the seizing of assets is legit, the assets should be looked at as revenue, and should be allocated by the legislature, not the police department.

It is incredibly unseemly for police to be operating their own private economy based on forfeited assets that were acquired due to their position/power.

There should be a downside for police if the seizure turns out to not be legit. I don't think paying back double would be that out of line.

Say there is an exploit in the OS ext* implementation, if ext* is not included in userland, then it will be subject to far less testing, so the exploit is less likely to be discovered.

edit- the way I look at code security is that trying to write good code in the first place is not as important as the testing regime to find bad code, so while there is a risk of introducing new bugs by supporting ext* in the files app, this is counterbalanced by the risk that the underlying ext* implementation will not be included in as many tests.

Because it's nearly tautological: everyone on that list got there for some reason. The fact that a majority of those reasons weren't entirely made up isn't an indication of their quality as predictors of espionage.

Since we now have access to the ground truth we can compute the actual false positive rate. The great-grandparent post suggests that such an examination would vindicate McCarthy, but I have trouble sympathizing with this view. A 94% false-positive rate (96% if you use McCarthy's original figure) is bad no matter how you slice it.
Yeah, it was just a vehicle for McCarthy. It could just as easily have been the scourge of crabgrass.

As someone who has Keurigs at work, and enjoys coffee daily, I'd posted it for those of us who view the Keurig as a device to brew good coffee quickly. The AeroPress does this much better in my opinion (the flavor and quality difference is huge). To some, maybe it doesn't hit all the specific benefits they enjoy from a Keurig; to others, it's an excellent replacement.

Here are the steps to make coffee in an AeroPress:

1. Grind coffee

- I do this in bulk with a big grinder, and have fresh grounds for the day. You could also buy previously ground coffee.

2. Put filter and grounds into AeroPress.

3. Wet the plunger.

4. Use a boiling water tap to pour over coffee.

5. Stir 10 seconds.

6. Push the plunger down, using air pressure to force the water through the grounds.

- this should take ~30 seconds to get the optimal flavor

7. Remove cap, plunge grounds out of the squeaky clean tube (remember, we just forced an inverted rubber stopper through the containment, cleaning it pristine)

8. Rinse cap

9. Enjoy amazing, and amazingly strong, coffee/espresso

Process takes me about 30 seconds longer than Keurig.

What about the free micro server with EC2?
Sorry for the very late reply that you probably won't see.

I'm not familiar with ZFS at all, so I don't know what the terminology 'ditto blocks' and 'mirrors' mean, so there's a good chance I'm not talking sense here at all.

The main argument for ZFS on non-ECC using systems being worse than other less sophisticated file systems seems to be that just reading a file (or during periodic 'scrubbing') while you have bad ram can cause good files to be corrupted when ZFS notices checksum errors and tries to correct them. (There are other arguments about not being able to mount pools due to bad ram, but that seems no different to any other FS).

People seem to be quite insistent that this is possible, and at first glance the code you linked above doesn't seem to be relevant since it refers to 'known good' data, but the problem scenario is when data has (erroneously) been determined to be bad due to faulty ram. Will ZFS overwrite good data in that situation in an attempt to correct what it sees as a disk error?
