It's funny that the Genymotion screenshot clearly shows "for personal use" :)
The blog post says Genymotion "has a completely free option along with some paid options for larger groups of developers", which is a slightly different interpretation of what you can read on Genymotion website as the use cases there are divided between commercial and non-commercial.

I wonder if Ionic Framework did remove the click-delay of +/- 300 ms for browser apps / sites. I tested a demo of the framework a while ago and the app just felt slow (perhaps because of the animation or what i thought was the delay on click).

Googled: According to info, they did remove it, but you shouldn't use the ng-touch or fastclick side by side with it (source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25419109/ionic-tap-delay-... )
Good to know. Wasn't aware of that at all.
How to Present When You're 87 Years Young
Sure, but it can still be quite daunting if you're not much of a sysadmin. I'm a web developer primarily and though I feel confident setting up a basic web server and SSH, I'm not even entirely sure what software I need or should use (when there are multiple alternatives) to set up a fully working e-mail server.

Add to that messing with cryptic configuration files while reading about the dangers of doing it wrong and the general impression is that you shouldn't be touching any of it unless you fully understand it all. As far as beginner friendliness goes, it's a bit like desktop Linux was ten years ago.
Shameless plug here – I build an iPad point of sale that does exactly that. It's called Ambur (amburapp.com). We started with a local SQLite DB, then built syncing depending only on the router functioning (i.e. no internet dependency, one iPad acts as a server) using Bonjour discovery, and I just added NAT traversal so people can still remotely access the point of sale. It's the best of all worlds! Now to find some venture capital...

BTW, why in the world don't any of the other point of sales do this? None of the stuff that's required is rocket science, you need a Core Data maven, a networking maven, and a decent UI programmer in the same room and you'll get a ton done. Removing reliance on a server seems like a no-brainer both for clients with unreliable internet connections with business-critical needs, and for avoiding complexity of having a "split brain" across iOS/the cloud for the service. It seems like server devs are valued over iOS devs for no clear reason.

Any language will have some "magic" things that are special-cased in the compiler - things like the basic integer datatypes, or the threading primitives - and probably a few more things that are implemented as C code (though if you're lucky this can be done in a "standard" way, through the language's FFI). But most of the standard library should be implemented in the language itself (look at e.g. the Java standard library, or the Python standard library. In a more coherent language like TCL, even language constructs may be written this way - e.g. "for" or "if" can be just ordinary methods. At the other extreme, PHP has the infamous T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, because a simple-seeming piece of syntax had to be special-cased in the parser). If the standard library authors kept feeling the need to step outside the language itself, that's a bad sign - it suggests the language is poorly suited to writing libraries in. But you're right that it's a question of degree rather than a binary thing.

I appreciated the heads-ups about this in this thread. I have been a Fastmail customer for years, and didn't realize they were subject to Australian law. It's very relevant to me, and even though the laws haven't passed yet, major privacy organizations seem concerned enough. It's not easy to change e-mail providers, most people pay a year or more in advance, so it's good to be aware of these important issues. It also could give the company a chance to reassure customers, but I must say that "If the laws change such that we need to say anything different in our privacy policy, then we will definitely make a public statement about those changes" is not the reassurance I was looking for. I have come to expect good tech companies to vehementely oppose laws like this, actively fight against them, organize protests or at least publicly support the opposition (as in the anti SOPA/PIPA efforts in the US), etc. Not just say "We will update our privacy policy if necessary".
Even more interesting to see the links between the two companies.

The Wikipedia page on the model S says it's designed by one Franz von Holzhausen and doesn't mention Fisker at all but on the page of Fisker Automotive you read this:

"On April 14, 2008, Tesla Motors filed a lawsuit against Fisker Automotive, alleging they stole Tesla's technology and are using it to develop their own hybrid car, the Fisker Karma, which was announced at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. Tesla's suit claims that the design work done for the Model S by Fisker Coachbuild was substandard, and that Fisker diverted its best ideas to the Karma. In early 2009 the suit was settled in Fisker's favor and Tesla was ordered to pay Fisker more than US$1.1 million in legal fees."

I wonder how much of the Fisker design is still present in the model S or if they tossed it all and redid the whole thing. When I first saw the Model S and the Karma side-by-side I thought 'wow, those two look quite similar in a way' with the Model S the clear winner (the Fisker looks kind of odd up close).

Sadly, statically typed Lisp is a contradiction in terms. It would be in the same category as dynamically typed Haskell.

But the experiment shows nicely how little you need to bootstrap something lispy.
`add1` isn't a method, it's a function.

Besides, "static methods" are a hack:

If it's a behaviour of the class rather than its instances, then make it a method of the class. You'd only need static methods for this if your language doesn't treat classes as objects (ie. it's not a particularly OO language). The example is in Python, where classes are objects, so no statics are needed.

Alternatively, it may be a completely standalone piece of code, in which case it has no business being inside a class. Just make it a standalone function, and stick it in a module to avoid name clashes. You'd only need static methods for this if your language doesn't allow standalone functions, or doesn't have a module system. Since Python has both, there's no need to abuse classes like that.

I think the point is that if someone choose "12345" as their password, the best hash in the world can't protect it, since it's trivial to try a few combinations and hit on the right password.

Strong hashes prevent bruteforcing millions of combinations, but that actually depends on the attacker needing to try millions of combinations.

Yes, the buggy implementation is buggy in idealistic sense. But it doesn't matter. The fact is, that bug was de facto not visible until the OP introduced the more "clever" (shorter timeout) code. If the node were really, utterly problematic it wouldn't be on the internet.

What to do in this case? Well, what do you want to do? Want it to work with everything the same? You have to start with the timeout of 1s, like other TCP stacks do. That's what was tested, and then your behaviour to these nodes wouldn't be different from the rest of the internet. If you don't want to do this for all of yours connections (you're losing an advantage to the competitors), then be ready to introduce the list of nodes where you observe the behaviour, and assign the different starting timeout to them. Etc. There is always a solution, the wrong approach is "it can't be solved because it's against the RFC." The solution is making something work under the real-life limitations, and not having the world where there's no bad implementation (the state that's impossible to reach).

BTW I have an impression we don't understand each other because you have a "mathematical" approach (finding one counterexample, my theorem is disproved, let's wave my hand in the air in helplessness). I'm an engineer. There's a real life out there. Everything you can imagine will have a real life counterexample. Deal with it. Whatever you do, it's your decision. Ignore it, adapt, whatever, it depends on what you want to do. Just don't stay on "it's that others are wrong that's the problem, but I'm right and that's it." Unless you want to do this for show. But then allow me to claim it's just a show.

The suggestion about instantiating a formal performance review sounds exactly to the point. The point is not to rank everyone on a gaussian curve but to maintain an understanding between the employee and the management of how much value the management percieves the employee has generated. This is a benefit to both parties!

Above 10 peoples, things get really to a point where everything is not obvious to everyone else and you need some formal documentation platform so everyone agrees on the quantity and the quality of the job.

Speaking as a recent convert to Fastmail from Gmail and Dreamhosts roundcube offering I have to say Fastmail is a hell of a lot better experience, it's quick, uncomplicated, and slick with great keyboard shortcuts. Roundcube on Dreamhost is fine for what it is but couldn't be compared with Gmail in terms of usability, Fastmail can. Don't get me wrong I'm not sure its as good as Gmail (spam protection for example is not as good), but you're getting a vastly better webmail experience than Roundcube.

I'm not aware of any intent on adding unsigned types in Java 9 though. The lack of them is a real PITA, for sure. Not only for performance but it's incredibly easy to forget a & 0xFF here or there and introduce bugs.

The MMAP thing is also a good point. I believe HotSpot will compile the get methods on the MappedByteBuffer down to raw access so it shouldn't matter much for performance, in theory, but the code is still damned ugly. I never understood why they can't expose it as a byte[].
Nice looking app!

You're not doing promises right however :) `$http.get()` etc returns a promise, so you can do all transforms and logic via `.then()`. The only time you should ever use `$q.defer()` is when you're wrapping a non-promise API. The bluebird library has a nice write-up: https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/wiki/Promise-anti-p...

No, it's much worse.

Um, if you reimplemented UNIX in Java you'd probably do a much better job than the UNIX creators were able to do.

In particular, running a program from bash would simply classload it into the existing VM, not invoke a whole separate VM, and then it'd be more or less instant, except you'd have the potential for much more flexible APIs and combinations of tools. Look at PowerShell for an example.
Why not a mix of 90 day and 10 year options?

Finding the right balance might be hard, but you want to achieve the balance between having the feeling that if you leave or are fired you are not totally screwed over, but at the same time not feeling like you are total handcuffed to a job and company you hate. I am just picking numbers out of the air but you could structure it so that 25% is 10 years and 75% is 90 days.
TLS is just a new name for SSL from version 3.1 onwards. It's much more secure then those older SSL versions.

STARTTLS, a protocol used to negotiate SSL/TLS in some plain text protocols, is problematic if it isn't enforced. Some software stupidly abbreviates STARTTLS to TLS in the GUI, which is a source of constant confusion.

'Twisted light' beamed across Vienna
Quoting the study :

"Our study design is composed of both prospective and > cross-
sectional features (Fig. S1). The prospective aspect of the study
involved enrolling 26 healthy subjects who had no prior RR-
eliciting experience (Novices, N1) which served as their own
controls. They then underwent 8 weeks of RR-eliciting training
(Short-term Practitioners, N2). The cross-sectional aspect of the
study involved enrolling another 26 healthy subjects who had
significant prior experience of regular RR-eliciting practice for 4–
20 years (Long-Term Practitioners, M) to be compared with
novices either before or after their 8-week RR training."

Then

"We collected blood samples and biological measures when study
subjects attended morning laboratory sessions, during which M
and N2 listened to a 20-minute RR-eliciting CD and N1 listened
to a 20-minute health education CD (control)"

So if I understand correctly, it means the "novices" went through :

* a period of time during which their blood was tested before, shortly after and then later after doing basically nothing

* a period of time during which their blood was tested before, shortly after and then later after doing meditation/yoga/whatever

The same experiment being done with people with more experience.

I'm no researcher, so I'm curious what would be an acceptable control group for this experiment ?

A group of novices that would gets their blood tested before/after doing nothing at all (sleep ? another activity ?)

Is it the fact that the same person serves as its own control (by doing different experiments over time) that invalidates it ?

Development Horror Story – Mail Bomb
I never said what you want me to defend, so it makes no sense for me to defend it. The person I replied to claimed men controlled the industry. That would require some sort of cabal (evil or otherwise). I think it is preposterous to suggest such a thing. I never said women are not systematically disfavored because that cabal does not exist. Whether or not women are systematically disfavored is an entirely separate issue. I do not believe we are because my experience has not supported that, and because the low number of women in CS is easily explained without it: women have different interests than men.
I would still say that the real performance bottleneck is ultimately the bandwidth between the CPU and this memory. This suggests that the next stage will be to incorporate heterogenous processors alongside that memory - thus upgrading your computer could then be as simple as plugging in an another combined non-volatile memory/CPU block into a fast inter-connector. Rather reminds me of the the old S100 bus where everything just plugged into the same channel, (which probably dates me quite well).
But instead of building more decentralized, open and independent network they are strengthening a private company which already has strong position.
