Learned a cool trick tonight: Yosemite was taking a while to install, so I did some googling and learned you can see the installer's log by typing CMD-L during the install process.

There are at least three ways I can see to answer your question, all of them answering it in different ways:

1. It's undecidable, because precisely detecting undefined behavior according to the C and C++ standards in general reduces to the halting problem. It's perfectly defined to have a program that dereferences a null pointer in a branch that is never actually taken at runtime.

2. The type systems of C and C++ were not designed to be restrictive/expressive enough to disallow undefined behavior, for a multitude of reasons (simplicity of implementation [especially in 1973], backwards compatibility, concerns over performance).

3. Defining away all undefined behavior via the runtime system (e.g. NaCl or asm.js) requires a sophisticated runtime and incurs a performance penalty.

The first explains why C and C++ compilers cannot catch all undefined behavior. The second explains why the C and C++ languages do not disallow undefined behavior. The third explains why most C/C++-based systems do not disallow undefined behavior at runtime.
Though their TOS seems to forbid running an exit node, I run a fairly big relay on one of my Digital Ocean droplets - even the $5 instances have a ton of bandwidth which can be donated, if you aren't using it all for other projects.
Great work on this. I've been looking for a way to add more pictures to my pictures for a while now, and this is awesome. A couple thoughts.

1.) Would it be possible to lessen the picturfication of pictures? I've found that some of my pictures are overly exciting, and I'd really like to remove the energy and interestingness in them
2.) You mention a mini fridge in your video. It might be a worthwhile to consider purchasing an extremely cheap full-sized fridge instead. It'll hold more PBR's and can be used to store magazines when unplugged
3.) Will the wolves and sombreros used in the pictures be native / culturally appropriate to the habitat in which they're depicted? I'm concerned that my pictures might display wolves and sombreros that don't accurately represent their cultural heritage or ecological surroundings.

You've probably already answered these in an FAQ somewhere. Just thought I'd ask.
I literally just came from my local Apple Store where I got my Retina MBP serviced for two clusters of hot pixels. The Genius had to look up the policy to see if it was covered, and came back saying that Retina MBP screens will be replaced for even a single defective pixel. We were both surprised.
Just curious, why would you love transparency? IMO it’s distracting at best and crashy at worst.
I can't downvote you, so I'll just say that you're probably an insufferable person.
It's interesting to me that Open Revolution R supports R Shiny (developed by RStudio). A natively multi-core version of R could be really useful in dealing with the larger applications that are built on shiny, as computations, input, graphing, and DB i/o are all (often) thread blocking.
As a trans woman I fully agree with your assessment. They clearly have no idea what they're talking about.

Also, selective service is such an absurdly trivial "obstacle." I registered ages ago, and despite a half-dozen moves (and transitioning) since, I haven't ever done anything else about it.
Was the fact that you can enable or disable these not publicly known before this article?
But your phone, at retina distances, does not fill your field of view, and putting your face close to a large screen does.

You mean Windows. KDE is iffy (but I use it just fine and was able to scale my fonts / frames up enough on my 150 DPI notebook), but Gnome in its latest release has fantastic high dpi support.

It is an unmentioned consequence of Windows being a piece of shit in regards to DPI that holds back the desktop display industry, whereas Androids inherent scalability let smartphones race for big pixels.
By trivialising issues faced by males, can you still claim what you are advocating is equality?

We're selective in our use of the metric system here in USA, and therefore Americans will generally have an intuitive sense for how big metric units are for some measurements but not others. If you say 5mm or 1L, no problem. If you say 250km or 22kg, not so much. Americans have an intuitive sense for long distance in miles, small volume measurements in teaspoons or cups, distances in inches, feet, and miles. But micro distances in mm are generally okay, largely due to things like nuts and bolts being largely metric, and the proliferation of beverage containers in 1L and 2L bottles and engine displacements measured in liters give us a hand there.
Absolutely, the full implementation will allow each user to sign with their own keys, and provide user-configurable trust rules ("allow images only signed by this key"). The Docker CA will be used as a default convenience to provide a common namespace if you want it, but users who want to use their own custom PKI will have all the flags to do that, and there will be an "escape hatch" to opt out of the entire trust infrastructure altogether.

The only reason we're starting with verification-only, and only for images produced by the official library maintainers, is because the other side of the tools (signing) are not yet ready to be merged in Docker. By releasing a subset now, we can start getting some feedback and ironing out the quirks, while the contributors finish their work on the signing tools, using the library maintainers as guinea pigs. Hope this helps.

PS. to state the obvious, all of this is taking place in the open on #docker-dev in Freenode. It is being designed by key contributors from multiple companies, and you are welcome to join the fun.
Yes the spite is on Apple's side…

I suggest you take a breath, and maybe a walk. This is not worth getting angry about.

Free radicals are parts of a chemical structure that are unpaired and therefore super reactive. The reason they are linked to cancer is they can easily form bonds with molecules that they shouldn't be bonding with and cause crazy things to happen.

You're right if that's the only variable. Corporations love to be the only player, and tweak government to make sure they are. Normally without interference, they rarely have a monopoly for long.
This is fascinating. Looking back on my ~4 year relationship with my soon-to-be-wife, I notice a lot of parallels. Looking back even at our last week of texts, it's all transactional and logistical things: pickup times and places, confirmations, and quick tasks.

It's not necessarily that our communication has lost that "fresh love" spark, merely that it's developed and aged (like a good cheese) into deeper, more meaningful transactions that happen in person. We no longer need to reaffirm anything over texts, because everything meaningful happens in person.
> Also -- am I right that this is the first iPad to be able to create a hotspot? This changes the economics of mobile -- you can grab a data plan as you like it and when you like it, and use VoIP calling and so forth.

Nope, existing (my Retina Mini) iPads can do it too.
The smartest folks generally get scholarships.
Interesting, thanks. I've recently been working on various optimizations that involve writing 32-bit integers with unaligned 128-bit vector writes, where I advance the pointer by a multiple of 4 (but not of 16) between writes, thus overwriting the tail of the previous write. Your explanation would seem to imply that there is no possible way this can be "spec correct". Since I need intrinsics and inline assembly for this anyway, strict spec adherence isn't a priority, but it's nice to learn more.
You can still do that, just replace the apple sim with yours.
well brew itself requires a patch (since ruby 1.8 is no longer included by default in the system apps), but using the default ruby has brought no ill effects yet...

If I had to choose again I would have waited at least until brew updated.

Serious question: is anyone still using TextMate? Everyone I personally know who used to use it (mostly web developers) has switched to Sublime.
For one it was never about "more pixels than photosensitive cells".

Second, the number of rods and cones has nothing to do with it.

The "retina" argument was about having smaller than discernible angular pixel sizes, which is true for the majority of people and normal viewing distances.
No SD I can live with, but max. 32GB on a tablet (where you are like to store larger apps/more HD media) is crazy. My 32GB iPad Mini can be a bit restrictive at times when travelling - 1.07GB TV episodes means I can fit a set of 720p TV w/ maybe enough room to spare for a couple of movies.

VMWare 6 seems to be the cause of some of mine. I resolved it by making sure it's suspended prior to system sleep.

I wonder if the most recent VMWare version would help.
The one case where you don't really want TCP semantics, is when you want SCTP/RTP semantics: basically, user datagrams decomposed into frames and then priority-multiplexed over a reliable circuit, then buffered back into in-order messages. This is, it turns out, what web browsers, game clients, VoIP services, and a lot of other things want—to the point that if we're going to have one kernel-implemented protocol and everything else has to live on top of UDP, I wish the one kernel protocol was SCTP. (Because one-channel SCTP really looks a lot like TCP.)
I don't understand why there's so much emphasis on doing things that don't scale. Here's why:

In this lecture, we heard about DoorDash, a successful delivery business that is now expanding to multiple cities.

DoorDash adds value by delivering more efficiently than small businesses can on their own.

An example of a small business that benefits is a Palo Alto Macaroon store. Before DoorDash, the Macaroon store took orders by phone and recorded them by hand in a thick notebook. Then, when there was time, the owner of the Macaroon store would personally deliver orders out of their personal car. No additional cars were ever purchased and no drivers were ever hired.

One key factor is causing DoorDash to succeed where others have failed: mobile phones. The ubiquity of smartphones has enabled DoorDash to hire and coordinate part-time contractors with personal cars. This new development makes the service cheaper than past competitors.

Now, you may be wondering what my point is. Why am I summarizing the pitch we heard from DoorDash?

Because it's all about SCALING!

Let me explain.

+DoorDash is startup. By definition, that means it wants to scale.

+DoorDash is expanding to multiple cities. I.e., it is scaling.

+The businesses it helps are those who otherwise deliver at low volume with a phone and notebook. I.e., in a way that doesn't scale.

+DoorDash has no proprietary technology and is not a monopoly (Peter Thiel disapproves, by the way). DoorDash is competing on one main dimension: cost. And how do they achieve lower cost than a mom & pop macaroon shop? By scaling. Operating at scale is their main competitive advantage.

+And why is DoorDash succeeding now, when past delivery start ups have failed? Because of mobile technology. And what is mobile technology letting them do? Manage a fleet of drivers at scale.

+DoorDash is a software company and software companies are eating the world. Why are software companies eating the world? Because software scales!

DoorDash's words say to "do things that don't scale." But DoorDash's actions say the opposite. Scaling is the key to their business.

(Incidentally, DoorDash gave an example of something that they claim doesn't scale: writing personalized notes to customers after orders. But guess what? That totally scales!)

Can someone explain why so much more emphasis is placed on doing things that don't scale? Doing things that scale seems to be more important to me.

Edit: I don't mean to be harsh. I'm honestly curious and hoping to open up a discussion. The emphasis on not scaling seriously puzzles me. I'm sure you folks have great ideas that I'm missing.

A carpenter in the US is unlikely to measure wood in 10ths of an inch.
I make 120cm to be about 47.2441 inches - or almost 3 feet, 11 1/4 inches.

Wow this is a serious game changer, I was thinking about this the other day. I would be great to be able to turn off and on a sim card in your smartphone. So if you were using an iPhone and wanted to use your Android phone you just turned the iPhone sim off and used your android phone without having to call and de-activate it everytime.

It seems like phrasing it as "one service per container" (with service being in the SOA sense), might be better.

Certainly, I think of an SOA app being composed of multiple services, and I'm pretty sure the thing you're suggesting that the thing you want one of in the container is what I'm calling a service.
If you were significantly more intelligent than the mean, you would recognize the irrelevance of your anecdotes.
As I commented on this interesting article when it was a submission to Hacker News, "Robert Plomin and Ian Deary are mainstream researchers on the behavior genetics of human intelligence, the authors of well regarded textbooks (Plomin), popular books (both), and primary research articles (both) on various related topics. Their joint point of view as expressed in the review article published today is not the exact point of view of all researchers in the field, but I thought it would do as a discussion-starter here on Hacker News.

"A crucial detail (Deary and Plomin would both agree about this, but it hasn't come up in the discussion here yet) is that heritablity has NOTHING to do with modifiability. It is quite possible in principle that a novel environmental intervention might be discovered that could boost most people's intelligence. It is even possible that the most effective intervention might have a gene-environment (G × E) interaction such that the intervention would most help people with lowest IQ, and least help people who already have high IQs. No such intervention that human beings can direct purposefully has yet been found, but it is clear from the Flynn effect[1] that something in the environment can have powerful effects in raising average IQ levels of whole countries, as has happened in the developed world throughout the last century (for as long as IQ tests have been around).

"It is correct that people marry and have children on bases other than just shared level of intelligence. (But living in the same town, and completing higher education at similar ages, and pursuing compatible occupations for marriage, etc. is correlated with IQ.) It is still far too early to say how rapidly human populations might see noticeable effects from assortative mating by IQ. It is reasonably clear that often-feared dysenic trends probably are NOT happening--the lowest-IQ people in the world population don't reproduce at all, and high-IQ people actually have reasonable numbers of children to replicate their genes. In any event, the favorable environmental trends have SWAMPED whatever genetic trends are going on for IQ in the whole human population, and people are getting smarter all over the world, according to the research on the Flynn effect.

"It is still a hard problem to identify anything at all meaningful and replicable about how gene differences influence IQ differences, even though it is now settled wisdom that they do. Human IQ, as the article says, is influenced by MANY genes, and many of those genes interact with one another in ways that are not understood at all yet."

By doing things that dont scale, you learn the problem deeply and then figure out the details needed to make it scale later on.
It may be in violation of the Kickstarter ToS, though.

I'm not entirely sure I follow why you feel this is significant. At least in the US, we tend to measure viewing distance in feet and diagonal screen size in inches, and those are both measures of length. It's not like the two axes are "feet" and "fluid ounces."

Apple filed a patent on this Virtual SIM card in 2011. More info here:
http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2011/11/apple-in...

The linked article suggests it's a method to save space in the hardware design so the SIM is not user serviceable. However, it also forces you to only buy data service from Apple approved carriers. Notice in the screen shot from the OP's article that Cricket or any of the more affordable MVNO's are not available as options.

This change is just as much about control over where you spend your carrier dollars (and, possibly, Apple getting a kickback) as it is about saving space.

The first one requires you to move your neck much more than the last option; it also provides a better peripheral view. I have a corner desk, so my setup looks like:

More or less; I also have a chair that pivots, so I can change my focus quickly without moving laterally. What is really painful is when, to reduce horizontal span, the monitors are thrown into portrait, then you have up-down neck strain...which is very painful! I actually decided against another 24" as my second monitor for this reason (I have a secondary 21" wide screen in portrait as my secondary, nice for reading PDFs and email).

I would prefer to have one wide monitor, but with a curve.

I used TM 1 back in the day, then used Sublime for a while (3-4 months), but got curious and started using TM 2 and have kept with it ever since. On a Mac it just felt snappier and more native, but it might just be that old habits die hard. I installed Janus today and keep trying to make the jump but can't get myself to stick with it.
Sure, if I was designing a production grade system I probably would isolate a lot of the services.

But I thought the whole idea of Docker was I could download something like a "Wordpress image" from the Docker marketplace, and it would just work in a self-contained way. Unless there is some higher level tool to download multiple Docker images for different apps and configure them together to provide a service of some kind.

There's a whole "have your cake and eat it too" mentality going on here that's kind of upsetting. These trans students are men, and yet they are attending a women's college, living in women's dorms. They're apparently making waves because they're trying to remove the emphasis on gender(and women specifically) from a women's college. In other words, tim is trying to rob the university from its identity because he slipped in through a loop hole and feels discriminated against because (surprise!) the school is purpose built to exclude men. Would you agree with an atheist student at a private religious university trying to remove references to god from the school charter? or a religious student trying to add references to god to a public university charter? Of course not! Got to give it to Wellesley for not kicking his ass out upon realizing that he lied about the primary qualification for attendance, but I don't think that give him the right to try and remake the school in his own image.
