Does anyone here have a "low res" (like 1440x900) MacBook? I do - it's from 2012 and was the last to have a CD drive so that I could write CDs for bandmates, plus it has a dedicated Ethernet port instead of a mass of external adapters (useful for AVB testing).

Anyway, since Yosemite the font for the menu bar has been a bit "bitty" and not smooth which contrasts sharply with the rest of the shininess seen everywhere - does this resolve this? I thought I'd ask before taking the plunge.
I've seen Jolla before a couple of times. I know that it says it runs android apps, but is there an easy/user-friendly way to get _access_ to the android apps? or is it all just "download the apk from somewhere and install it".

If it can't stand alone it'll fall over in this market.
Google Closure:
function hello(a){alert("Hello, "+a)}hello(3);
Compilation was a success!
No warnings
No errors

+ it's not incremental hence unusably slow, requires Java. No, Closure is not the same as Flow even from a brief look at both.
Some people swear on "Final Version" as time management:

The gist of FV is that it takes "psychological inertia" into account to a certain degree - something, that many other systems lack.

To be honest, I never tried it and I don't use any time management system, but maybe it's worth a try for people who don't like GTD.
Ignoring the fortune companies, most of Microsoft's own services like Office 365 run on Azure. That's a pretty big bet right there.
Azure support is probably the worst one I had ever deal with. When my account (and service itself) stopped working, I haven't received any email. When I tried to sign in, all I got was some generic error saying "There's something wrong with your account". My services of course were down and I couldn't do ANYTHING. I've contacted the support to learn that my account has been blocked (!) because there was some suspicious (!!) activity going on. What the... No, they couldn't tell me what exactly it was. I've exchanged emails back and forth with the support for several days to learn nothing new, my account and services were still disabled and I was more than pissed off. From that day I hate Azure and I advise anyone against using it, because such situation is absolutely unacceptable.

Its amazing how effective the most basic options are (a text file). I used to use a google doc as my task list. Then we built in tables in to the company database for requests (a very poor idea by a new manager that had joined). Now we are onto Jira. While Jira has benefits, it is still way clunkier to use than a Google doc, and there are many features I miss.
Well, yes. That's the whole idea.
>>Lunar Mission One aims to survey the Moon's south pole to see if a human base can be set up in the future.

If a simple survey mission is going to cost $780 million, you have to wonder how much a moon base will cost.
Why?

I open my MacBook and think "the menu font is badly aliased, yuck" whereas the Mac Pro at work on Mavericks is still a joy to read.
And trying to work out where a file is within Xcode is still as simple as right-clicking on the titlebar of the window (like all windows within Mac OS) but on Yosemite, how the heck do I do that????? The titlebar has gone!
The trade-off is that even if you are always updating the action list, you are supposed to get an overall better peace of mind. You are not spending your time in the shower or in the traffic jam reviewing the list of things you have to do tomorrow, because you know you have offloaded to an external system.

Like any new habit you can't hope to form it in two weeks, you need so sustain the effort for at least a few months.

(To be honest, I have experimented with various GTD systems along the years, and was not able to sustain it as well for longer than a few months. However, during crunch time, I find it an incredible tool)
Cacheline boundary?

Probably, because caches line sizes are an implementation detail, not part of the architectural specification.
Teespring allows users to place certain devices (tracking pixels, etc) on their Teespring site. This allows individuals to know which campaigns their conversions are coming from, and therefor where they should allocate most of their marketing funds.

At first glance, they look very similar. However, in use there's a big difference between the two.

Just install Chrome beta or canary, by overwriting your existing installation in /Applications and you're all set.
That, the branch predictors, and caching behaviors, n-way, alignment, etc.

It probably explains why different runs vary so widely, I always thought it was other things going on in the OS, never really thought about the caches, etc.

It should be the 'thought' that counts.
FWIW, here in the UK we have an entertainer called Derren Brown. He specializes in psychological "magic". A while ago he did a show where he set up a punter to believe he had committed murder. The mark reacted exactly as your friend client. IIRC, he actually gave himself up to the police, really believing was guilty. IMO, very disturbing and going by the TV episode, even though Im sure it didnt show everything, too simple.

If any one is interested in tracking it down, Derren Brown - The Experiments. Episode The Guilt Trip.

Sorry, the point is that Im shocked that you are saying your police actually do this, in this way. When watching these shows its easy to assume that there is some extra trickery going on, so it cant happen to a real person in real life. Your case shows that it can.

The issue with such system is that it does not allow you to plan for the future on the basis of your priorities and long term goals.
It does allow you to get things done, but generally you'll be only getting urgent things done, while important but not urgent things are left behind (learning a new programming language or a technology, practicing) your guitar.
Here is one trick that improved my productivity much and allowed me to concentrate on what is important. I extended such system with the ability of weekly planning (and not only review). At the beginning of each week I assign time for each of my project depending on its priority and its alignment with your long term goal. I start by stating my long term goals and my principles, then what projects I am working on, what short-term goals I want achieve. I then assign when and how long I will work on each projects.

Would you like to spell out more explicitly which effects of U.S. jurisdiction you're most concerned with?

I agree that there are several possible effects of jurisdiction on CAs that people could reasonably be concerned with (whether as would-be certificate requestors or would-be relying parties), but I'm wondering which ones are concerning you most.

I’m still waiting for a high-end second generation version. From the various forums, there are/have been some minor bugs and I’m somewhat annoyed that they went for RPM instead of sticking to dpkg from the N9, but otherwise it seems a sensible approach to a mobile phone without the usual issues with Google/Apple.

Giant companies should buy most of their hardware to reduce cost and focus on their main activity. But they should also build a small percentage of their hardware themselves to have the freedom to ditch away a supplier. This is also important to maintain good technical knowledge to negociate more wisely with suppliers.
From the little I understand of psychology, essentially all you need to do is get the accused to doubt their memory, then push them over the edge. Consequently, I think that high quality CCTV wouldn't be necessary. A blurry hint would be enough to convince a softened defendant.

I thought solar panels were more efficient when cold...
Absolutely. I used to use hungarian notation in a static language because I was so scared of getting the wrong type. It was a huge revelation that actually this never happens.

However, whilst I never hit on basic type errors such as passing a string when I need an int - I regularly come across object type errors. I'll pass an object with a project_id property to a method that actually expects an id property. Not sure if flow can handle these - if it could it would be pretty amazing.
All this magical scrolling features is causing my browser to lag. I use chrome on OS X. Why use such fancy effects if it is ruined by bad performance?
The title is a bit misleading. It should be "How I can get to the optimum solution faster in C than in assembler." However, it is still a good read.

A quote from the article: "The reason C is faster than assembly is because the only way to write optimal code is to measure it on a real machine, and with C you can run many more experiments, much faster."
Information is inherently a bit of an odd duck economically speaking. The fact that you're targeting the less-developed 6/7 of the world, generally, means that you're also targeting an other-than-lucrative advertising market. There's also the question of just who it is that you might attract as content promoters -- EDUs is one thing, but if it turns out that you're mostly of interest to those who've got unrest to sell -- whether it's OECD foreign / intelligence offices or third-world mercenaries, then there's a bit of an issue.

Who you accept money from matters in some ways more than what's being sold -- I'd suggest your team sit down and draw up a few short lists of groups or sources whose money you don't consider green.

A few ideas do come to mind:

1. Classifieds. You could do Craigslist to the World. Even a small fee might prove lucrative. All the better if you could target the ads to the regions where they're of most interest (geographic segregation).

2. An infrastructure for other organizations to tap into. It could be that it's the content-distribution network itself that's of value. If you've got a one-way comms channel that could be used by organizations for their own use -- encrypted transmissions (if desired) that only their own users could pick up, this could be a valuable service. Of course, there's still the chance that it's intelligence and/or terror organizations which are interested in your services. The challenge here is that if this is your paying work, it might consume your interest over the public-good components. I suspect there'a a fairly wide class of NGOs and possibly commercial interests who might be interested in such capabilities.

3. Partnering with regional governments. If it turns out that you're the best way to get information through, then (for reasonably benign governments), carrying some of their content might work.

You've got a number of partnerships with national broadcasters (I saw DW on your partners list). Carrying content from such organizations for payment might well work.

The other factor is what your own overhead is. If sufficiently low, you don't need a lot of monetization to be successful. Just enough to cover expenses.

All that said: I really like this idea, it's similar in regards to some I had years back but never really pursued.
I am yet to see any on the wild. Even Windows Phone has better sales.
Sigh, no 3G or LTS. This beautiful tablet is useless to me if it works only on Wifi; it really kills the "mobility" aspect of a tablet. I can't use the navigation which effectively renders the GPS useless.

Am I missing something here? Because I would love to have this tablet.

I've had mine now for a few months. Everything works great with it. The UI is smooth and the touch-only navigation feels very natural once you get in to it.

One downside is there is no way to monetize your apps from the Jolla appstore, I think this might be holding back a few people from making apps.

I'm also very happy on how easy it is to connect to the computer. Plug in the USB, and I can have it show up as an MTP device, or RNDIS. Using it as RNDIS I can just login to it via ssh and run any commands like any other linux.

How would a browser know that the fact that www.mybank.com doesn't use SSL at all is intended by the bank, or the result of a MITM attack? At the end of the day it all relies on the user seeing the (lack of) a padlock in his browser. So as long as you don't show a padlock (or a different kind of padlock) for www.mybank.com when the certificate is self signed, you're good.

At the time when Go and Rust were conceived Nim would have certainly not been on their radar. Both were announced in 2009, at a time when the Nimrod repository had barely even got off the ground[0].

I have no idea why you think my post history is "anti-woman" or that I hold "hatred of women". I think many of the arguments pushed by people who self describe as "pro-woman" are nonsense, but that's not the same thing.

...the action of a fucking asshole...

Contrast with what I said: "are we simply engaging in internet mobbing because...the CEO is kind of a jerk?"

Unless the anonymous woman I described (and the anonymous writer at modelviewculture) is also a "fucking asshole", the "secret" part of investigating the reporter is not a problem. So investigating and reporting is "possibly criminal"? Assuming there is something more here than mobbing someone you dislike, I truly do not understand it.

Thank you. That's a very refreshing comment to hear. I don't believe I really meant to say that South Koreans see the North as an enemy but I can see it being understandable that one would feel more lukewarm about being reunited with a group that seems to hate you so much. I think that's why I really appreciate you saying this, because you dream for peace while many see and experience strife. That's very admirable.

Honestly, I personally think it would be almost romantic to see your country reunited. However, I'm not Korean, so I have no right to tell you reunion is right, or not right, and I'm concerned that sometimes, us as westerners seem to assume that this is best for this or that country, even when those in that country wish for something else. Either way, I wish you all the best.

If it's true that it can run Android apps, you can use an offline navigation application that uses OpenStreetMap data.

Magento security: checklist to protect your store
i did not read the article, just quickly scanned through. but the answer to my best knowledge is:

1) it isn't always that bad, if you pay the premium for private education you can get some of the best education available in the world
2) the people who pay for private schools also pay a significantly larger share of the taxes
3) those taxes pay for the public schools

thus: public teaching is bad because the ones that proportionally pay more for it, don't make use of it.

i live in a country (NL) where public schools are the norm, we all pay for what we (almost) all consume.

I think they've gone about this the wrong way, architecturally. I would have streamed draw commands to the watch and received touch events back, with the watch hardware essentially being a display client with no compute power of it's own. That would cut silicon real estate, remove the need for local wifi, etc - and placed the development focus on a super low latency wireless command stream. That way, the watch, as a product, would last much longer between upgrades, and your UI complexity would be bound by the host phone, not the little SoC.
Is it possible to be notified if a certain percent of the backup is changed? Something that would let me tell if something like 50% of the bytes or 50% of the files are different between snapshots? Just a simple 'zfs diff | wc -l | mail' in cron?
> A self-signed certificate is trivially MITMed unless you have a way to authenticate the certificate.

Trivial? Yes. As trivial as intercepting plain HTTP? No.

The NSA or adversary du jour can vacuum up anything sent over plain HTTP with zero risk. Self-signed HTTPS forces the attacker to commit some resources and, more importantly, run the risk of exposure. Security is not a binary (no encryption scheme is perfect), it's about increasing the cost to attackers.
Thanks for pointing out OSM.

I used navigation as an example. In general though I really don't get the idea of wifi-only table. I commute regularly and get most of my non-coding work done during that time; e-mail, responses, catching up on news and a whole bunch of things.

Perhaps then, the question is how much of the responsibility lies with the South after such a thing occurs. Would SK simply annex NK or would something like a joint/international humanitarian effort to help NK survive and may be start its own government be better?

Honestly, I don't have any right to say one way or the other is right because I'm not even Korean, I just think that we in the west need to stop taking as a hypothesis that if NK collapses that it is SK's responsibility. I think it is up to the South Koreans to decide whether they want that, and not us [1].

[1] And yes, that's what this article is about, the government is preparing for this contingency, but as we in the west know, our government doesn't always do what we want.
