If it is an https connection where you trust the CA, you don't need the hash. The binary coming from that connection is just as safe. If it is signed by a key you can obtain securely, well, sign the executable for once, forget about the hash.
Like because of the Angle translation layer that is between WebGL and DirectX on Windows:

https://code.google.com/p/angleproject/

It is likely the IE team didn't worry about portability of IE between Windows, Linux and OSX, thus they did some direct connection to DirectX that wasn't that feasible for the Chrome team.
Quoting from https://wikileaks.org/About.html :

"WikiLeaks is a not-for-profit media organisation. Our goal is to bring important news and information to the public."

That makes them an "'editor' of information". If you send them video from the surveillance cameras of your local Kwik-E-Mart, showing how the cats gather around the trash bin, then I see little need for them to publish that information. While a 'liberator' of information would do so as a matter of principle.

You appear to know little about the history of Wikileaks or about the leaked cables. Why do you think you know enough about Assange's political agenda, as distinct from his humanitarian agenda, to be confident about your statement?

I of course agree with you, but that's because I think everyone has a political agenda. You don't, so you must have other, specific reasons, which you haven't explained.

This isn't a nit-pick, it's a very important point that is sometimes overlooked by the less financially-inclined.

So often people will argue for some obscene valuation based on the fact that the company is growing rapidly. Well, the whole point of a valuation model is to capture these elements and estimate a price you're willing to pay today for all that future growth.

Of course, that's way easier said than done, especially in a fast growing start-up. But these are sophisticated investors, who are trying not to leave any money on the table.

That's never been true of OpenGL (or 3D in general) before so there's always been this divide in what people consider possible for a web app (i.e. convenient, easily shared) and the conventional software model where someone needs to download and install something first – a big step up in delay and complexity, and a reasonable hesitation for the security-conscious.

The excitement comes from the fact that now none of that is necessary for many uses – if you're working on a non-AAA game, 3D object viewer, interactive diagram, etc. etc. etc. you get support for 70% of web users globally without having to take on the expense of desktop development and support or supporting so many different toolchains. This isn't a big change for the major players who are still going to do that for other reasons but it simplifies a ton of casual usage.

I've heard good things about Asus and Acer, but my *nix buddies seem to like Lenovo better for driver support. I don't think the brands mean much; it's the specific models and their technical specifications that are worth investigating.
I think you're coming at it from the right angle. The offshore devs I've worked with have always built exactly what I spec'd. That's been a good thing when my spec was thorough, and a terrible thing when I was expecting them to 'take this idea and run with it'.

So these days I articulate every detail I can think of and chop tasks down to their smallest bite size before shipping them overseas. It's more work up front, but saves to headache later on.

Yes there is a very, very big difference. For these high-stress jobs you get paid lots and lots of money.

You don't get paid anything to do a startup, you might even do it for 2 years and NOTHING will come out of it.
You're right, but that's not what it's about. Try putting yourself on a strictly regimented, hypo-caloric, laboratory controlled diet for more than a few days. It will consume all the willpower you have and then some.

The point is that enough sleep and exercise, the right mix of gut bacteria, and a diet consisting of sufficient protein, fat, and fiber, with very little simple sugars and starches, will allow you to feel satiated on fewer calories, and lose weight without having to count calories, strictly regiment your diet, or suffer through hunger pangs.
I used this tool 2-3 years ago (back when it was still hosted on Google Code!). It does what it says on the box (converts code from Java to Obj-C) - the problem is all about expectations.

In a way, this being an "official" tool from Google makes it more confusing for non-technical folks. When you read that Google has released a tool for converting Java to Obj-C, many assume it's now trivial to get an Android app converted to iOS. This tool will not translate an Android app into iOS code. It won't really even help that much unless you've made a deliberate effort to isolate code so that a conversion could happen. Most of the time, the business logic for mobile apps is fairly simple so you aren't saving much time.

In my experience, the difficulty in shipping cross platform mobile apps is dealing with platform specific conventions (e.g. what is the iOS equivalent of a Fragment?) and libraries (RestKit on iOS, Retrofit on Android, etc); not the conversion of basic Java class into their Obj-C equivalents.
This has been going on for a long time. When I was in high school, in an English class unit on journalism, I learned how the United Press caught the competing Hearst news organization faking stories about the eastern front in World War I. The United Press reporters inserted details about a Russian government official named Nelotsky in their news stories, and watched the statements about Nelotsky get copied into reports from the competing wire service. There was just one problem with the Hearst plagiarists' journalistic procedure: there wasn't any such Russian official. The name "Nelotsky" came from reversing the spelling of the English word "stolen" and adding a Russian-looking "ky" ending.

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C07E7DE103FE...

Similarly, in the 1990s I noticed that a popular page on my personal website was being copied diligently by a college student for his personal website. I inserted a fake entry, based on the Greek word for "steal." I also put a link at that entry leading to the copyright notice page on my personal website, which has a distinctive filename unique to my site. When the student copied the page again, I was able to show the site administrator at the university that hosted his site that the student had plainly violated the site user agreement at that academic institution, which specifically required students not to plagiarize for their postings on the university site.

I didn't do a lot of public outing of that student--but you had better believe I still remember who he was. Teachers do well to teach students early and often to use their own noggins and to do their own writing, giving proper credit with correct citation form to sources they rely on. That's a better education than just letting students copy whatever they happen to see, without any analysis or thought at all.
It’s also a good system for people who don’t have time to hack on things that aren’t related to their core interests. Like me. I stopped building my own PCs in 2001 (when I switched to laptops almost exclusively) and stopped fighting with both Windows and Linux desktop configuration horrors in 2006 (when I switched to Mac OS X as my host system).

I have things that I think are far more interesting to work on than worrying about hardware compatibility. If I ever reach a point on Apple hardware + software where I can’t hack on the things that I want to hack on, then I will leave it. But as of right now, it gets out of my way and lets me do those things that I want to do. (Some of the various Linux distros have gotten better about this, but they aren’t there yet, even for me—and definitely not for my wife.)
Hey guys, I just built this app to compare javascript frameworks where people can vote on different ideas. Let me know what you think and any ideas you have!

Because systemd was entirely too consistent across environments, so it needed some inconsistency introduced.

The documentation reminds me a lot of Emacs's "ANTINEWS", listing all the functionality you lose by downgrading to the previous version of Emacs. Except in this case, it's actually a "NEWS" file, showing all the functionality you lose by downgrading from systemd to uselessd.

> Certain superfluous unit types removed, namely devices, timers, swaps, mounts and automounts.

So under uselessd a service or socket file cannot depend on the presence of certain mounts, for instance (RequiresMountsFor=). Nor can a service run maintenance tasks periodically with supervision on the maintenance task, and with all the privilege-dropping, isolation, and security features easily accomplished with a systemd service. (And even if a cron implementation implemented such features, they'd work gratuitously differently from systemd services.) Nor can the availability of a device trigger the reliable, monitored launch of a service with all those same systemd features.

> Setup routines for various MAC/ACL systems, including SMACK, IMA and SELinux, are gone. We want to stick to a more clearly defined purpose, one that is agnostic of such elements. Nonetheless, we have retained SELinux access routines in D-Bus APIs and unit options for SMACK attributes in socket unit files to respect existing configurations.

So anyone who actually wants to use such security systems is screwed, then. Good thing Linux isn't about choice.

> systemd-fsck has been replaced with a service file that starts /sbin/fsck to fsck devices. In essence, this isn’t much different from what systemd-fsck already did, but with the overhead of a middle man executable interfacing with /sbin/fsck cut out. This also means that the systemd-defined sysctl parameters for its fsck are gone, and you should use the old ones (/forcefsck, etc.) instead.

So now, in order to force a check of a filesystem on reboot, you must write to that filesystem, potentially doing further damage to it.

No - Somebody has just done that for you, for free.
I can see it.

I mean, just multithreading embarrassingly parallel loops could often offer drastic speedups - the reason it's not generally done at the compiler level is due to overhead problems (by the time you're done creating threads / running them / cleaning them up / doing context switches and memory stalls you might as well have done the problem the straightforward way). If you're doing things at the hardware level you can get substantially less overhead.

In other words, don't think of it as "this can always multithread" - think of it along the lines of "this can pick up on common programming idioms and emit corresponding SIMD instructions".

On a related note: this sort of thing is one of the reasons I wish that instead of SSE we had something along the lines of a forall {chunk of code} instruction, (with the limitations that the code is executed in an unspecified order, and that the code cannot branch). Explicitly hardcoding the number of parallel data streams is... shortsighted.

I have personally tested 40+ business laptops(Lenovo, HP, Dell) in 50+ dimensions (performance, display, wlan, heat,...) . In our assessment Lenovo came first, then HP and closely after Dell.

The difference between consumer and business laptops is enormous in terms of reliability and how long they last, even from the same manufacturer. In our experience, the only "consumer" laptops which can keep up with the mentioned business laptop brands are from Apple.

Clevo is a major Taiwanese OEM you may not have heard of but builds excellent business-class laptops. They don't sell direct to consumers, but any small system builder you buy from (FalconNW, System76, etc) is probably selling rebadged/modified Clevo laptops, and you can buy barebones or custom systems from retailers like AVADirect in the US.

They're very reasonably priced in addition to being well-built.
Checking the source code, it actually starts out as LESS
I use a Lenevo W530 at work. It's great, it has a mobile i7 quad core processor, discrete graphics card with 2GB VRAM, 16GB DDR3, etc. It's a very powerful machine, and does not weigh much.
> Sure it's an extreme case, meant only as a thought experiment, but it's obvious that 0 calories in and non-zero calories out absolutely MUST mean weight loss. What are the alternatives?

Conversion of body weight to a form that has less stored energy per unit of weight mass (e.g., fat to muscle). That's unlikely with zero calorie intake (since activity, which is difficult to maintain with a too-extreme deficit, and protein are both important to it), but it balances the calorie equation just as well as weight loss does.

More generally on the point under discussion, adjusting caloric intake alone without changing calorie output is expected to produce weight loss if a bunch of other factors are held constant, but the way humans are constructed, its actually not at all simple to adjust calorie intake and not alter calorie output or any of the other relevant factors -- in fact, many of them the body will itself change as a result of a change in calorie input.
