New games and demos on MDN for Firefox 10th anniversary
Did you analyse it with Firefox Developer Edition?
I think it's far more likely that the analyst has what we used to call "common sense" than they that have a master's degree in statistics, I'll admit. Of course Turing and his compatriots at Bletchley Park managed to win the war without all of them having a degree in stats, so maybe it's not actually the critical underpinning of the use of intelligence that you think it is.

Likewise since the NSA doesn't actually have LE working for it they'd have to pass off the juicy bits to some Federal law enforcement agency and convince some non-zero subset of that agency in order to "auto-SWAT" a house.

So yes, this is actually among the easier of bets I'll ever have to make. More difficult ones would involve policy on what should be a crime, what taxes should be, and how the foreign policy of the U.S. should be directed.
Here's the thing that bothers me the most about a lot of the talk about net neutrality by government officials:

> If a consumer requests access to a website or service, and the content is legal, your ISP should not be permitted to block it.

Specifically "and the content is legal" is what raises a flag for me. I've seen similar phrases in nearly everything I've read coming from any government official regarding net neutrality.

If this phrasing makes it into eventual laws regarding net neutrality, it seems to me that it could easily require inspection of all traffic by ISPs to ensure the legality of traffic.
The WebIDE is currently pretty targeted at mobile web apps, especially on Firefox OS. We want it to be a more generally applicable tool for authoring web content.

The Tools Adapter that lets you debug Chrome/Android or Safari/iOS tabs from the WebIDE is a first step in that direction.

The interface is for developers and will not be the same when in the stable channel.

I don't think that his angle necessarily has to be at odds with our angle(s). It could perhaps be that he's trying to change course after a horrible (to him/Democrats) midterm election season, or just to boost popularity of his party in general, which I'm sure works out better for him in the long run somehow. Though, this is the term where presidents are known for pretty much doing whatever they want since there's no looming election so it's really a good question what his motives are.

Wait, so this "Edition" will deliver the things that aren't even Beta? Is that only for development-only tools or also for features which will appear in "normal" Firefox?

I think I'd prefer to develop for the current state of my user base and not for some "maybe it will be so" target.

Can you please clarify what the "new rules" are?
All those ports are incomplete and simple. You cannot use those to publish to HTML, PDF, Latex and TexInfo. You cannot do literate programming in those ports as well. Those are just shallow copies.

You should look at my guides if you want an IDE-like experience: http://tuhdo.github.io/

I find writing code in C/C++ with Emacs much faster than typical IDE: http://tuhdo.github.io/c-ide.html

For writing Lisp code, maybe except the commercial IDEs, none other tool matches.
Honestly I think lisp would gain a lot just by having more choices of paired delimiter. The fact that [ has to match ], < has to match >, { has to match } and ( has to match ) is a huge aid to visually understanding the AST of some code. The fact that in lisp e.g. array accesses are not different from function calls, or that blocks are not different from expressions, is a great advantage, but we would do better to preserve the option of using several different delimiters.
Could be huge! Just the increased safety margins could be worth the cost - no lawsuits when a grinding head dismounts during operation due to loosening nut or whatever.
I stopped reading when I got to the part about js being faster than C++.
reminder, this is the same person that says snowden is a traitor.
What I get out of that first statement is that you do tend to disregard unless the candidate knows exactly how to describe the related subjects on their CV in a way that makes you happy. And you don't see the problem that developers might have with that? Especially when they don't know the secret method of describing things to make recruiters happy?

As for the rest, I think it's reasonable to assume that a candidate with commercial experience will favor over hobby experience. I'm sure there are plenty of examples of where that doesn't hold true, but I suppose it's a decent rule.
I'm glad the president is giving a hoot about this issue, because it's an issue I care deeply about and follow closely.

That said, I'm still not convinced a "no slow lanes" policy is possible. Peering is a huge part of the Internet, and without it, the Internet doesn't work. Paid peering is a private network owner's right to ask for, and it's every other person's right to deny.

To me the most interesting part is this line: ...while at the same time forbearing from rate regulation and other provisions less relevant to broadband services.

As I understood it the rate regulation is a critical component of what Mr Obama describes as an obligation not to exploit the monopoly they enjoy over access in and out of your home or business. If most broadband providers are still monopolies, how can the FCC effectively prevent them from abusing that monopoly without some form of rate regulation?
I don't understand this mentality. If Obama comes out as against Net Neutrality, it's him being evil. If he comes out in favor of it, he's lying.

I understand politicians often have ulterior motives but from the information provided, this is exactly what the majority of citizens were asking him (and the FCC) to do.
You can see the fine level of finish on the completed display units, which would indicate "expensive" to me as well. Also note that they're going after machining/manufacturing as the target market rather than, say, automotive, where cost is king.
No. This is horrible advice for software professionals in the US. In a lot of places, it will show the hiring manager that you are an alien to their culture. You should simply wear what you would ordinarily wear to work when clients are expected that day in the office.

If the software professionals there actually wear suits, you can also wear one to interview, but be mindful that you probably won't enjoy working there much.
I'm not saying React is a hack. I'm saying that all libraries that try to provide true "web components" that hide their implementation details for the user, are only achievable trough a "shadow dom" implementation in the browser.

Thats just a fact, based on how browser work. With the shadow-dom, customer elements, and templating you can achieve true componenets, like in uix toolkits such as Android, iOS and Java Swing.
Please don't complain about downvotes, it just makes people downvote you more.

And I suspect the reason you're being downvoted in the first place is that the TC post is about net neutrality and not government spying. While the two are connected (they both involve the internet, after all) they're different topics. If we refuse net neutrality until we also disband the NSA then we'll just lose on two counts.

Yup, easy way to make a lot of people happy[er] after an election indicating a lot of people aren't with him. He can just direct the FCC to "give the Internet common carrier status" and it can largely be worked out via Executive Order; if there are any legal objections, they can be tied up in the courts for years until supporting legislation catches up.

Or when you look at felony charges for cannabis use. Every time I hear about the wonders of surveillance I think about how many lives the drug war has destroyed, even for drug use that is non-addictive, peaceful, and done in the dignity of one's own home by productive adults.

Also, as someone who lives in Chicago, I can tell you that a lot of crime is caught on tape, but only crime that is politically convenient for the police to go after. There's no shortage of stories of homeowners or landlords with videos of vandals and robbers only to be told to piss off. The police don't want to mess with the gangs unless they have to or it looks bad if there are too many minority arrests that month.

It seems the surveillance state is more often used against us than for us for a variety of reasons, mostly due to corruption, which we still don't have a fix for. In some weird way it has empowered the criminals, because it's a long way with lots of roadblocks from a face on tape to an actual arrest. We put up cameras instead of tall gates and guard dogs or gun ownership and think we're safe. We're not.

Not to mention, the criminals aren't stupid. They pull a hoodie down over their face as much as they can, and in the dark, can't be identified on tape. All the success stories I've heard seem to focused on crazies and idiots who more or less would have been caught with old fashioned police work. Holding up footage as the be and end all of police work really just empowers the worst kinds of people in law enforcement and fools the electorate into handing over powers that law enforcement has historically been shown to be irresponsible with. I just read that the PATRIOT ACT is now used on drug offenders. The slippery slope in unfortunately real in this case.

Btindex.org DHT crawler that discloses all IPs is down
The website http://btindex.org that generated some rumor in the bittorrent scene, especially on https://torrentfreak.com/btindex-exposes-ip-addresses-of-bittorrent-users-140807/

It displayed all Peer-IPs and all content that has been seeded or downloaded by these IPs. It's different from other crawlers because it also crawled the DHT network, without the need of trackers.
This headline is in such stark contrast to the other, which reads "President Obama calls for a free and open internet."

Which reads more like the actual intent?

Edit: The two submissions got merged, so my comment is now outdated.
What an asshole.

It was under his Presidency that NSA expanded their programs.
Why do you assume that Libertarians are pro-net neutrality? It's government regulation that limits what ISPs can do - hardly a free market philosophy.
At least give him credit for doing one right thing, I think that's fair.
Tail call optimization, strictly speaking, isn't a language feature (though a language standard can require it in conforming implementations, as Scheme standards have. Which brings me to:

> (C, Pascal, C++, BASIC, FORTRAN, etc) didn't.

I'm not sure that's true. gcc, in optimizing modes, could do at least tail recursion elimination at least as far back as 1999, and does more now. (The earliest reference I can find refers to gcc 2.95.3, but its not clear to me if that's the first version that did it, or just the earliest version on which the writer tested and confirmed the behavior.)

Outside of a handful of languages, tail call elimination in either restrictive (e.g., tail recursion only) or general forms is an optional optimization rather than an essential behavior.
There are a few with quad-core. And added benefits like SATA2 connectors and NEON instruction set on the CPU. Granted that only helps if you compile against it (not likely going to help regular daily use), but if you're developing code on a small device, the gains can be huge.

I think the problem was that sometimes the iMessage did get delivered, but to an iPad, a Mac, or some other device with iMessage set up using the same Apple ID - so they couldn't just wait to see if the iMessage failed and then just send as a normal SMS.
No, you remove your number from the imessage "My Addresses" list and everyone else will see nothing different except the send button is green now.

the problem that really exists with iMessage is that it's easy to enroll but people forget to unenroll when they move their number away from iPhone.

Obama's statement isn't quite as limp as the article title implied: "I am asking for an explicit ban on paid prioritization"

This isn't a request to "set up a committee to explore regulation ideas and form lobby groups from all stakeholders" - it sounds more like "I want to pass laws AND create an enforcement structure for those laws".

Ambitious and probably overly optimistic, but it's a good perspective from the top.
Which is the whole point of net-neutrality, that ISPs must not accountable for what flows through the network, or to block "illegal" messages.
Show HN: Delta News – Hottest news stories shared by your Twitter friends
It's entirely possible that the notions of surveillance (and the egregious examples of that which have come from the top-down in this country) and net neutrality can be evaluated independently of each other, particularly because they are dissonant concepts.
My parents tell me they're way happier now, in their 50s, than they were in their 20s. I'm in 25 now and I'm not feeling that good. It's become all right, but I wouldn't want it to get worse, that's for sure.
It seems to me that introducing net neutrality law is a band-aid over what is really just monopolistic behaviour because last-mile providers don't have competition.

Why not fix the root cause? Force last-mile providers to provide transit to third party ISPs like they do in the UK, or otherwise regulate them specifically.

I don't see why rules should apply across the board to markets where there is healthy competition. There is no problem elsewhere, is there?

Yeah, but who is "we"? If power structures on Earth keep growing and working hard to sink their fangs deeper into anything that could challenge their power, I'm not really sure people, or even machines, just moving off to live as they please elsewhere will actually be a thing, not if it can be avoided. That's just not in the spirit of things as they are currently going. Oppressive empires aren't keen on letting people escape and regroup elsewhere. On the other hand, sometimes they can't help it, so here's hoping.
Are you telling me someone can't understand my code because I left two spaces at the end of the line? Then they should be fired.

> There's a much bigger issue, the default iPhone settings has "Send as SMS" off, this means that if a failed iMessage attempt occurs, it will just give up (rather than sending by SMS).

So by default, it sends a secure end-to-end message, and you'd prefer it to fail back and send an insecure SMS logged by your telco? (Verizon, for example, makes your SMS history available in a web portal.)

I think the bigger issue would be if iMessage burned your SMS plan and sent insecure messages without you explicitly asking to.

Defaulting to losing the security and privacy seems more "frankly absolutely ridiculous".

It doesn't matter if it is flash, eprom, rom, whatever.

The practical result is that most devices die with the Android version they were bought with.
however it is quite possible it will encumber providers and such with all sorts of new rules, forced compliance, etc.

Forced compliance, as in "You are a utility and all such utilities must comply with NSA/CIA/FBI/ABC requirements"

Maybe they will be brand it under some title like "Internet Bill of Rights" and watch as people don't read the fine print.

All I know is, if I waited for the regulated utility known as the phone company to have provided me with faster internet, let alone a good phone connection during a thunderstorm, it would never have happened without competition.
