I would have assumed PG had eaten at decent restaurants, so the endorsement is weird. You can get OK salmon in a frying pan, but like pretty much every protein, you'll probably get better results with sous vide + a quick sear/blowtorch.

Conveniently, it's also easier than frying, requires less hands-on time, and is tremendously repeatable. And you can now buy all the gear you need for about the price of one of these pans!
Great article. It's amazing to me that so many professionals see sandboxes as a general checkmark type defense investment. If your sandbox doesn't sit at the low level, even amateur hackers will own you.
I'm confused by the usage of the utility itself. I ran it on the hello.js, and it reported the expected type mismatch. I then tried to run it on the file in the answer sub-directory, but it kept telling me about the previous file.
Having an FFI is not relevant, Pypy has an excellent FFI already[0].

You can't interface with the existing SciPy ecosystem which expects the CPython API, which is the reason why pypy doesn't matter in scientific computing.

I believe Twic was paraphrasing me, and then asking if my statement (and thus his paraphrase) were satirical.

It was a joke, and I intended it to work regardless of your opinion of Perl and Larry Wall himself. With that said, my own opinion is that Larry Wall did a bunch of interesting things in Perl (some of them merely out of ignorance!), that continue to shape modern languages. The Perl community continues this tradition today experimenting with lots of different programming paradigms, to the benefit of the wider development world.

Ah, I see what you mean now with the type annotations. It looks like they require the jsx transpiler if you use them. Still, flow isn't doing the transcoding, just the static analysis part. I wish the type annotations could have been in the form of jsdoc-style comments though.

> Why? Because nature abhors a vacuum?

Well, because "England" and "Portugal", on the level that Ricardian comparative advantage really works, aren't really countries, but sets of people (and, really, the comparative advantage really exists on the individual level, its existence between sets of people is simply an aggregate of its individual existence.)

Absent an external actor using force to compel an involuntary transfer, productive capital moving from person E to person P requires some item(s) of value moving to E such that the value to E justifies surrendering the capital.
> Isn't the Docker container all userspace with no kernel components?

Yes but you still need a minimum kernel version to run Docker (2.6.32-431 or higher according to [0]).

Earlier this year when we were exploring Docker, CentOS 6.4's latest kernel version didn't meet that requirement so Docker was a no-go. CentOS 6.5 was the min version with a supported kernel but our Citrix XenServer environment (6.2SP100) had no official vendor support for >=6.5. We don't run anything on our Citrix environments unless it's properly supported by them.

Now because of your comment and doing my fact checking, I just found out that CentOS 6.4's kernel is now at version 2.6.32-504 which is damn fine news for us. That said we'd still be stuck with CentOS 6.4 containers because CentOS 7 containers would still be unsupported by Citrix.

Some advantages of Pantelligent over sous vide:

* cooks a steak in 20 minutes, not 2 hours
* don't cook all your food in plastic bags
* not limited to foods you can stick in a waterbath (omelettes? pancakes? etc)
* most sous vide recipes have you finish with a pan sear anyway!

"Meat (aka pork and beef) will suck, plain and simple." -- This is false. Pantelligent steak is absolutely one of my favorite recipes! Check out some photos http://facebook.com/Pantelligent
The bluetooth aspect seems over-the-top; I'd rather just have a pan with a small display in the handle that shows the temperature.

it is interesting to see the contrast of India and China vs. Japan which very convincingly announced itself as a major industrial power in 1904 Russian-Japan war.

http://www.samurai-archives.com/tme.html

"What followed, from 1867 to 1912, remains unparalleled in history.

...

... the scientific and industrial revolutions had raged around the blissfully unaware Japanese. This had to change for Japan to compete in the modern world. Accordingly, the oligarchs set the nation upon a course of modernization which would produce dramatic results. The first step was to foster a sense of nationalism and unity."

Interesting that "nationalism and unity" have been observed during many "leaps forward" in other countries too.

This kind of research is interesting (for sciences sake), but I think it is important to bring up the fact that no-one is saying wearing a helmet doesn't help in situations where life altering head injuries would otherwise occur. It is probably fair to say that in the severe head injury probability distribution, it removes a bunch of probability from the "severe/dead" part of the curve, and adds a bunch to the "minor/tweak" part of the curve, which I'm ok with.
It depends on what you're optimizing for.

When I was in college, I'd boil some water, make some pasta, and sear some chicken for every meal. Estimated pan cost: $10 (maybe free, actually, as I got it from a departing senior).

Nowadays, I like to eat out a lot, with food costs at least $25/meal (SF Bay is ridiculous). I get healthier meals if I cook at home but I also want my food to be delicious. Approximating subjectively: I think I get 90-200% of restaurant deliciousness depending on recipe and restaurant, 25-50% of restaurant sodium intake, and 50% cost with this device, which is a fixed cost. Given this, it'll pay for itself in less than two weeks.
feel free to let me know why that matters.

Ah, the right answer!

There are lots of languages where variables are dynamically typed that can be compiled and optimized with a JIT compiler. In Python, though, any code can mess with any data, using "setattr". You can find all the variables in another module and mess with them at run time, using their names as strings. At compile time, the compiler can't detect that's going to happen.

This is sometimes called the Guido von Rossum Memorial Boat Anchor.

So Python implementations usually have to assume the worst case. Google's attempt at a faster, compatible Python, "Unladen Swallow", was an embarrassing failure.
PyPy manages to get past that, but at a huge cost in JIT compiler complexity. After 12 years of work, PyPy is finally shipping stable versions and starting to get some use. It's been all uphill for the PyPy developers, though.

It's kind of sad. Python never achieved its full potential because of the speed problem. Google ended up developing Go because Python was too slow.
He said "a large number of" though, not "all".

Re: "other [variables] are at least as important" being an incorrect assumption...

I can see this being possible for some foods (your salmon steak being a good example, given you include thickness, but you'd need different models for many different types of fish), but really unlikely for others. How onion behaves, for example, is pretty regional and highly dependent on type. For many vegetables water content is highly variable and very important to how it cooks, but I feel like i've got better proxys for what is going on than cooking surface temperature would be....
Glad to hear you're safe! And as a fellow bike commuter I echo the message to wear a helmet.

Get in the habit of looking at the oil in the pan. As it approaches the smoke point, its refractive index will change and its viscosity will decrease, giving a dimpled appearance. This is due to convection cells from the heating; it's easier to see in olive oil because it's relatively thick and dark compared to other liquids or light oils. In a round, level pan, you'll get a pleasing hexagonal pattern. Once you have nice stable convection cells you're ready to cook.

After a while you'll get used to your individual pans and how they transfer heat, to the point that you don't need to think about how to adjust the heat any more. Likewise watching the food itself will eventually tell you most of what you need to know about when it's done.

>The only "security" derived from unauthenticated TLS presumes that attackers can't see the first few packets of a session

Could you elaborate here? With a self-signed cert, the server is still not sending secret information in the first few packets; it just tells you (without authentication) which public key to use to encrypt the later packets (well, the public key to encrypt the private key for later encryption).

The threat model would be eavesdroppers who can't control the channel, only look. Using the SS cert would be better than an unencrypted connection, though still shouldn't be represented as being as secure as full TLS. As it stands, the server is either forced to wait to get the cert, or serve unencrypted such that all attackers can see.
There was no mention of blackmail.

There was no need. It's kind of like when someone says "we know where you live", "watch your back", etc -- the implication is clear.
Fair enough. I'd say it works well for cooking protein or veg in a frying pan.

It does run only in iOS. Construction quality is quite good - it's not a Calphalon pan, but it isn't the $10 Target pan either. It's somewhere in between. The construction of the handle (where the electronics are stored) is top-notch.

Customer service I can't vouch for, as they're friends and live nearby, but I suspect they would make things right very quickly.

Don't get me wrong, I think there are people who will love this- especially people who frequently cook fish and those who make risottos.

I'm far from a great cook, but I've been cooking 4-5 times a week the last 5 years, and what I do know is this won't do fast and furious nor low and slow well.

Furthermore, induction burners with temperature control (and even temperature probes!) are widely available, cheap, and relatively precise as well, and you can (mostly) use any pan, so long as you learn the quirks of whatever pan you are using.

As a home cooking enthusiast, this feels a lot like "not invented here" to me.

IMO, a better solution would be to pair an induction burner and temperature probes with bluetooth.
thx for your answer. Makes sense.

Chris Boardman, an Olympic cyclist for GB, recently appeared on BBC News to talk about cycling safety while not wearing a helmet during his demonstrations.
He gives his reasons in this short video https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=974497519231053&set=vb....

I certainly don't disagree with him, or with you, that there are plenty of other safety aspects to consider while cycling, but I'd always wear a helmet anyway.
you can sous vide with ziplocs[1] and a temperature gauge.

Honestly, we've tried sous vide before. Pantelligent is tastier. For many practical reasons, I believe that sous vide is not likely to become a standard household kitchen item. A frying pan and smartphone already are. See also comments here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8626599
It always amazes me how many cyclists I see riding without helmets (and anecdotally they seem to be the ones who typically ride in a less safe/defensive manner as well).

My wife works in healthcare and has worked in settings looking after patients with acquired brain injuries and she always tells anyone (even if she barely knows you) to wear a helmet. She's met too many young people turned into living vegetables or something similar to idly stand by and watch people take that risk.

Haskell doesn't do numeric conversion, it just allows numeric literals to have any valid numeric type.

If you tried it with variables you would get a type error:

> let x = 1.0 :: Double
> let y = 1 :: Int
x + y
<interactive>:10:5:
Couldn't match expected type ‘Double’ with actual type ‘Int’
In the second argument of ‘(+)’, namely ‘y’
In the expression: x + y

It sometimes looks like conversion because the literal `1` is polymorphic and can have a more specific type like `Int` or `Double` inferred from context.

It sounds like there is enough slack in the schedule that teams can decide they want to spend non-trivial amounts of time on these projects. It's surprising to hear that anyone, even the companies with big budgets, are able to hire enough people to do this without the projects getting an official seal of approval and budget. Even just taking the time to document, package, and publish is non-trivial.

It seems like the vast majority of companies are not far enough out in front of their production issues and requests from the business side that engineers could do this sort of thing. So I guess it's impressive that Facebook (and probably Google) are in that position.

There are two troubling lines in his code (from https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoOrion/blob/gh-pages/seri...)

var header = sampleRate; // 1 sec to charge/discharge the cap
var bufferSize = samplesPerByte*data.length/*samples*/ + header*2;

This implies 2 seconds of overhead per message sent from smartphone to microcontroller, 1 for the light to turn and 1 second of clearing time before the next transmission. This explains why the lights toggle so slowly.

To top it off, he uses 2 stop bits. The signalling rate may be 9600 baud but do not expect to be transmitting 9600 DATA bits a second! I think such claims need to be backed up with a demonstration full loopback capability without either side dropping a byte, with no pauses between serial bits.
If it looks that way, you should question your assumptions, because that's not what's happening. What's instead happening is that a controversy-du-jour is spawning lots of little stories, and the mods are working to make sure they don't co-opt the front page, which (because it is a linear list of individual links) is especially vulnerable to controversies-du-jour.

I was struck by a car while biking with my helmet (which I generally wore but wasn't super diligent about). Broke my arm, which I was quite bummed about. Got back on my bike and rode one-handed to the emergency room.

At the hospital they reconstructed my accident and wouldn't you know: I fell on my occiput; elbow shattered as a subsequent side effect. Since I had had the helmet on I hadn't even noticed; without the helmet, well, I wouldn't have noticed either. I went back and looked at the helmet and the foam was damaged at the back of the head (it had absorbed a bunch of K.E.) and the back of th helmet had grit embedded.

Needless to say I ALWAYS wear my helmet.

"Neutral Chrome" is the default state of the web -- the site doesn't assert that it should be trusted, and it shouldn't be, and that's the default state people should have in approaching the web.

"Cool Green" is "the site asserts that it has a particular identity and that communication with that identified site is private, and it passes the tests built into the browser's security model to verify all that."

"Evil Red" is "the site asserts that it has a particular identity and that communication with that identified site is private, but it fails the tests built into the browser's security model to verify all that."

Seems to me to be perfectly logical, even if we might prefer a better security model for making and verifying the claims at issue.
