I wish someone would flip the paradigm upside down. Put the whole computer in the watch and then have a dumb screen the size of a credit card that fits in your wallet. You can use that for talking on the phone, browsing the web etc. Make the watch primary and the big screen secondary.
Whether or not mmap and malloc nicely return null, or whether you get a segfault on first access, depends on what OS you're using and how it is configured. You can configure Linux not to ovecommit memory. I don't think it's good practice to write user space code on the assumption that "modern OS's overcommit anyway, so we will never see null bubble out of malloc". There are conditions where that may be justified, but one example where that doesn't fly is writing portable, reusable components.
It's using some weird kind of JS resizing, too – window size doesn't matter but aspect ratio does. Side scrolling instead of vertical, and almost all of the text content is contained in background images. Just terrible.
And there are members of the Church who experience heterosexual attraction but strive for a life of chastity, who have a powerful message for those who long to "move beyond the confines of all labels to a more complete identity in Christ."

And fair play to them if it is what they believe.

It doesn't work for everyone though, as is eminently obvious if you look to scandals over the years across all religious groups who swear selected members to chastity.
If the hackers are paying a reasonable fee you could do this for a lot less than $5m...
In the early day of these smart watches they are going to be a bit larger as the technology matures. Even the iWatch is going to look bigger and the newly announced Microsoft Band.
How the heck is it "terser"? The /example/ on that page is 23 lines/555 chars to produce javascript that is 17 lines/444 chars.

If you're going to boast about "terseness" as a selling point, you should at least ensure your examples actually demonstrate that to be at all true.
It's a Good Thing. For example, when Google announced they'll rank HTTPS sites slightly higher, CloudFlare announced adding SSL support to their free tier soon after, free certificates continue to be available. We should absolutely be pushing forward with secure and encrypted HTTP everywhere and be making it as easy as possible for developers to get on board.
Random guesses from a Dane about tomorrow where the length of the sentence is to be determined. You can come back in 24 hours and vote based on the real outcome of a couple of these points, hehe:

- Anakata will get a sentence somewhere in the upper middle. My guess is 4-5 years of which he has already served some.

- JT will get a somewhat mild sentence of nothing higher than 1 year. The case against him is pretty weak, compared to Anakata.

- The case will almost instantly be appealed by Anakata.

- JT may not want to appeal if the sentence is somewhere in the middle of the 2 years window. The reason is the extra jail time he has served will be compensated by the state and the state might be seeking a sentence in the middle to "encourage" him not to appeal. Appealing might increase the sentence and you would be paid less.

The case might go all the way to højestreret, which is the highest court in Denmark. There is also a chance the case could end up in ECHR (European Court of Human Rights), though I feel that chance is slighter. It would depend on the sentence of JT. If it ends up being a conditional sentence, then the jail time he has served is definitely going to have been unfair. As for Anakata, it is a bit more bleak I feel, since the argument of flight from the country applies, like it did in Sweden.

What is really likely to push this to ECHR however, is the inhumane isolation jail treatment and harsh conditions they've both received. It is not at all clear in any way to me why they satisfied the criterion for that at all.

Create a Professional Explainer Video for Your Business – On a Shoestring Budget
If the parties in these proceedings continue to act disruptively in the courtroom, they will be asked to show cause why they should not be fined/jailed for contempt of court. (My guess would be that the judge who brings this complaint has a far better chance of winning the argument.)

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_to_show_cause

You say "us". Are you one of the parties in this litigation? If so, why are you asking HN for legal advice rather than your lawyer? If you've managed to get a judge pissed off at you, you better stop doing what you're doing.

Well, to be precise, "reasonable suspicion" is a weaker standard than the "probable cause" required for a warrant. In either case, there needs to be suspicion of something specific, not just "this seems shady".

That said, you are certainly correct that "probable cause" is less than proof, and knowing nothing about the case it seems plausible that "this guy is accepting packages for people he doesn't know" firmed up some link in their reasoning and made the difference between lacking and having probable cause.

This. The way Alex uses Twitter now (tweeting links to his blog posts) is exactly how someone of his stature should use Twitter.
No state (today) would openly admit to that label.
Great point. The round shape itself is very skeumorphic because that's very conducive to the hand movement of an analog watch. A true digital watch has no business being round. I think iWatch, Fitbit Surge and Microsoft Band get it.
Consider that you could have provided more information without trying to pin down what I was thinking (or could've asked what I was thinking). I've tried several different ways to say that, this one seems the least whiny.
How Mike Brown's Alleged Robbery of a Liquor Store Matters
Actually, it's not hard to believe as Gottfrid is Anakata aka early '90s swedish scene / old school #hackse@efnet. This background along with his anti-government/privacy/free speech philosophies ultimately lead to founding of the swedish bulletproof ISP - PeRiQuito AB - ie. The Pirate Bay, Sunshine Press (WikiLeaks) and the North American Man/Boy Love Association.
Re #5, there's a race to the bottom only in the short term. As you observed, income in China is rising dramatically and rapidly, even median incomes.

Free trade reduces wage differences. By stymying trade, you slow down the process. You sustain local wages at the expense of many more poor people elsewhere.

Policy attention is better spent addressing workforce mobility and skills gaps. If we could magically fix American policy, I'd raise the taxes and fund programs which address the aforementioned issues. Although an easy hack for improving mobility would be to 1) kill the home mortgage interest tax deduction and 2) government guaranteed mortgages. It's both a blessing and a curse that so many non-skilled, low-wage Americans can be homeowners in this country.

We'd need some kind of replacement model which promoted wide-scale access to capital, however. Homeownership is the only way most Americans can get access to cheap financing for small businesses, education, etc.
It has been answered so many times. The data has shown that it actually hurts engagement. The algorithm is better than a simple time-ordered sort.
So, to be clear, you're fine with the idea of being uninsured because of your genome, or a pattern of posts which suggests you might have a chronic illness?

This page makes 360 separate requests and loads 55MB of assets. They did not minify or concatenate assets. It disables itself unless it is used at specific aspect ratios. It disables scrolling and requires clicking small triangles to navigate sideways.

Snowden's revelations came too late to garner a big enough reaction from the populace in my opinion
This is one of the many examples of Twitter not knowing what Twitter is. Twitter is a product that was a success in spite of the efforts of its founders.
More likely, Alex does not want to spend the time to provide moderation for a comments section. His stance is that Twitter is bad because the kind of community it creates—it would be silly for him to create a comment section that similarly failed to meet his expectations.

It is perfectly fine for Alex to criticize Twitter without providing his own alternative (though he does tacitly recommend using IRC and Facebook instead). Alex is a Rackspace employee who also is heavily involved in the Python community. The expectations on him for providing a space to talk are completely different than a company who's business is providing a communications platform.
I really do not understand why some people argue that slippery slope arguments are fallacious. If there is no compelling force and no oversight that prevents an organization from doing something then by entropy alone you would expect that it will eventually be done, much less when there is a huge incentive to use it because it requires less work and red tape.
Seems like this would work great for a single server, but it's alot of work to set up a backup system like this for multiple servers (including shared hosting accounts with limited / no shell access).
Chip and PIN vs. Chip and Signature
Too many players, fixed now.
It seems like we could establish some hierarchy (in fact, we already have one implicit in maximum or minimum sentence lengths, though I don't know if that is the right one to use). When an officer asks to engage in a search, he can then state "I am investigating X, we will ignore anything less serious."

If something is seen, it seems like it would be hard to prevent the officer from making a mental note to look into that guy later. We could grant immunity, but that could also get weird. I think just narrowly excluding the evidence uncovered in the search would still probably be an improvement, though (probably...).
> In other words, a silly patch that fixes a non-problem in one tiny place in a huge codebase doesn't accomplish anything.

I don't understand this line of thinking at all.

"reallocarray()/kmalloc_array() doesn't fix all the possible integer overflow issues in C, so why bother using it at all."

Naw it matters not at all, the autopsy is what matters, executed on the street while laying on the ground. So if he robbed the liquor store you arrest him and place him on trial, the job of the police is to apprehend the suspect so they can stand trial and let a judge and jury look at the facts and decide their fate, its not the job of a police officer to be a curbside executioner.
FYI: In the US and many (most?) other native English domains "mixed-blood" (or especially "half-blood"[1]) sounds racist because it's a term that has been co-opted by racist groups who rage against "race mixing".

I suspect language around race will always be racially charged - even for native speakers - so long as there are racists. It's unfortunate, but I'm not sure there is a good solution.

Ex Parasolid (1989-1995), D-Cubed (1995-2000), and SolidWorks (2001-2002) dev here.

Many are built on Parasolid, but many are not. Of your list only SolidWorks is built on Parasolid. Siemens own products (NX, SolidEdge) are built on Parasolid.

CATIA uses its own CATIA kernel. Dassault would like to move SolidWorks to the CATIA kernel, but they will encounter user resistance.

Autodesk has its own kernel ShapeManager ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShapeManager ) that it uses in Inventor and probably AutoCAD and Revit. ShapeManager was forked from Acis. There was a court case over the fork. Before the fork Autodesk used to use Acis.

Dassault owns Acis ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACIS ) which is also widely used, especially amongst the smaller players. SpaceClaim uses Acis.

IIRC ProEngineer has its own kernel.
I acknowledge the irony of 'no comments' on this blog post but beneath that there is a point.

All communication is broadcast. What differs is how those broadcasts are released and revisited through time. Twitter emphasizes the recent, most piecemeal events. Not building upon previous works, just consuming content FIFO and shouting back into the ether. Noise.

An old blog post has more potential, more signal-to-noise, than an old tweet.

Wikipedia is an interesting result of [anonymous] editors broadcasting content towards each other in a very constructive manner. Some termites might just stack dirt, but others can use simple methods to construct complex creations.
> One of the required reading is his own praising profile? And then he starts the video with a theme song??

One thing that we should all consider is that, first and foremost, this lecture was for the Stanford students in the room whose attention span ranges anywhere from 0 and 15 seconds on the topic of enterprise software. I am pretty sure the required reading is a twisted, self-deprecating joke, and the theme song is to get the audience's attention.
In my 1 year of using GWT, I've never had to use that class. Also, you're never required to use GWT's implementation of JSON, you're free to write your own.

> Or are you saying that some OpenCASCADE test are still close sourced?

Yes, that's the one I mean. There's even lots of references on the public parts of their bug tracker to these tests.

> what would be the motivation behind keeping these tests close sourced?

There are so many that I can't even begin to speculate which ones might be the case here... maybe they lost them, maybe they have Top Secret commercial data (like BRL-CAD's other test suite, which contains military data), maybe they don't want anyone to do major refactors without putting in the effort to make new tests..... Like I said, lots of possible reasons. I haven't asked them.
Also, the internet has enabled a lot of collaboration between MCs.
even though, prior to this thread, i'd never heard of 2 bugs exploiting this issue, i'm not denying their existence at all. only their likelihood of occurring.

10 years since i started programming, 7 of which i consider good enough to be "experience", is the answer to your statement. less than many here, but i'm certainly not a novice.
A watch like that would probably have battery life of about 0.3 femtoseconds.
Stability as a Deliverable
Hey would you be willing to be pestered for occasional code review for open-source CAD programs? Your particular experience with Parasolid and Solidworks is highly relevant and really lacking in the open-source CAD ecosystem... even if you don't write a line of code, just reviews would be hugely helpful. I checked your HN profile but there's no email (has to go in the profile field, alas).

There was useful high-level content in this video, but anyone who is serious about building for the enterprise should definitely study other enterprise SaaS companies. Box's financials, on the surface, are comparatively unimpressive and some of them even raise questions about the company's long-term viability[1][2]. Some folks argue that Box is in better shape than it might appear to be in[3], but this is based on assumptions which may or may not prove to be valid[4].

I've picked up and dropped a moderately sized caffeine habit at various points in my life. The biggest effect on me of being off caffeine is a reduction of my tolerance for caffeine when I have some next (smaller amount has bigger effect) and clearing out the addiction (can go days without caffeine without headache). I don't see appreciable changes in my quality of sleep (exercise does that!) or my ability to focus.

I have every expectation this differs dramatically person to person, and I encourage anyone with any sort of habit to examine it, but what you say does not necessarily apply to everyone.
Ah, you are right. I overestimated Parasolid's reach, although its reach is pretty extensive as this list implies:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasolid

I would love to pick your brain about CAD and their kernels if you had the time, give me a shout at ben@clara.io. We are looking to expand Clara.io into the CAD space and could use some advice.
I don't understand. You can build lists, I do and they are followed by other people. I have one list of Icelanders and I totally look at that list as a community of people.

Just take Snoop dogg's account for example, he has a massive amount of followers. Is this not the community of Snoop dogg fans? You can find other Snoop dogg fans and follow them and interact with them if they are doing something that you like.

I love how I can just go on twitter and there is @BettyFckinWhite going
"You know who doesn't care that it's #NationalCatDay? Every cat."

and I go "hah, that's hilarious" and then I go do something else. I think social media that aims at being everything you need on one site is robbing to much of our time. Twitter keeps it snappy, yet I can interact as much as I want.
>> The terminology he uses is "safe space." It doesn't mean zero joking or disagreement, but only the type and levels he approves

"Safe space" is a much abused phrase. The meaning of 'safe' as it applies to physical harm is fairly easy for us to agree on. When it comes to emotional and psychological harm, what does it really mean? Where is the line drawn?

It seems that some people will not hesitate to demand the complete absence of anything they find the least bit objectionable, all in the name of 'safe spaces'.
Slippery slope arguments aren't necessarily fallacious. Their quality depends on how strong of a case you can build for why/how <initial-event> will lead to <predicted-stopping-point> rather than <alternative-stopping-points>.

EDIT: Don't know why I'm being downvoted. Wikipedia seems to back me up here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope).

this is good news--Firefox leaving users vulnerable to well-known attacks by default for just a few months is actually a major improvement (not being sarcastic).

mozilla security engineers have a history of making excuses of the "let's continue doing this incredibly unsafe thing in Firefox in the name of legacy compatibility" variety. i'm thinking of folks like julien vehent & brian smith here, but kudos to the rest of the mozilla security team for finally starting to move beyond the tortured logic of defaults that leave all ff users vulnerable.
Very nice. Is OpenJSCad considered stable and compatible with existing CAD formats? I'm interested in expanding my 3D polygon editor to CAD: https://Clara.io Basically if I can find a stable and fast kernel, I can integrate it and get great results -- but I only want to do this with a kernel that works well in all cases.
Obamacare: what it is, what it's not
I have to agree. I've been using it a while and really like it as well. I agree with what others have said I wish it was open source. I haven't found anything that works as well as it does.

I use SpiderOak for all my cloud backups. I've been using BTSync to keep my cell phone photos backed up to my desktop and then that folder gets backed up to SpiderOak. So far it has been working well.
I use this because it does one important thing that I want to do with bookmarks: it allows me to search the content of the pages I've bookmarked. Basically it's a mini Google Search that only searches pages I've bookmarked.

I basically use it as a selective history that is easy to search. I do almost no tagging or adding descriptions because I don't need to.

It's too bad development has ceased on Google Bookmarks and I hope any new bookmarking tool from Google has this feature.

Twitters open API is very useful. Even if it doesn't allow you to get more than 1% of the tweets (without subscribing to firehouse and paying lots of $$$) it is very useful for many different projects of mine.
