I'm not aware of a non-PC compatible that had an 80486. In any event, real mode can address up to 1MB of memory, with 640KB available to programs. But I do think you are right. If all he had was DOS and QBASIC, he had no way to go into protected mode. He probably just dropped the 0 by mistake.
Can't you just do this yourself with the clustering already built into Node... you can manage the clustering yourself http://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html, or use a tool like pm2 to manage your cluster for you https://github.com/Unitech/pm2.

Sounds rudimentary, but I've used google spreadsheet to:

1. create a list of things i want to get done each day, then come back and check on what i've actually finished
2. record the amount of time it takes me to do tasks (ex. "damn! had lunch for 2 hours", or "sweet! I made that list of journalists to reach out to in 1 hour")

Its been really helpful for me. I've been able to track progress, and to trim the fat. Doing it every day (rather than monthly) allows me to get more immediate feedback, and improve faster.

There is one thing to keep in mind: It can be important to find motivation outside of just seeing things get ticked off the list, even if you have AMAZING discipline. I do two things: 1. If I don't finish my daily tasks, I don't allow myself to work out 2. My GF does the same tracking, and if one or neither of us finish our tasks, we agree not to hook up that night :)

I don't believe that Apple's success is just about Advertisement, I use their products a lot because they are very good products.

When I was a kid I did not have money so I bought all computer gear myself looking for the best deal, then I also used my own OS(gentoo with everything super optimized). I used to joke with my friends about how Apple was all about Advertisements and nothing about quality, and people was so stupid.

Then I grow up, I started working on my own and I suffered so much for my conscienceless. First I had to change to a stable Debian because gentoo was killing me, then I had to change to standardized hardware too as it was doing my life miserable.

One day I bought a mac as a luxury because I had made some money with my company. I started using it a lot, it was so simple and it did not made me spent as much time as Linux. I made some numbers and it made sense to buy more Apple gear. It worked great.

I made tons of money buying "expensive"() stuff.

What makes Apple great is that is is one of the only companies that get how real people work, read this book:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Inmates-Are-Running-Asylum/dp/0672...

Now, I am not a fanatic of Apple, I would love other companies doing the same(like doing my computers on metal) but it is not easy. In my experience companies without engineers on place do not know how to create things. Those that have engineers on place do not understand humans well enough.

()expensive is losing a customer because you could not fix something on time. Expensive is paying an engineer to pay for something that should not be broken in the fist time.

Where did he get the books? When I was a kid, the DOS interrupt bible was something I turned into a dog-eared nightmare. I wonder if he had access to technical books through his school maybe?
If you could let go of your irrational fear for a moment and read what you respond to, you would notice I've made absolutely no effort at all to justify it. That's the point. There's nothing to justify. When I donate money it is to a cause I consider worthwhile. "I said so" is not a cause I consider worthwhile.

Two things.

First, it's not like there has been widespread looting and chaos at these marches. Yes, there has been some, for sure, but the vast vast majority of these protests and protestors are peaceful. It only takes one person to break windows and light fires.

Second, even if there is looting and destruction it's generally not a rational thought process that leads people to it. These are angry, hopeless, beat down, etc people who feel like they never get any justice.

I don't condone the violence, but I certainly understand it.
So much here... It's nice that despite all the nonsense to be found on Internet posts, there can be some quality thought if you patiently wade through the junk first.

I know what you mean about how best to share your work. I am sitting on a bunch of AI research that others might be interested in and I am not sure how best to document and share, especially while not working in academia. A book, video, or web site maybe? I have no good ideas on that, only sympathy.

I think your experimental data is fantastic, but I have different hypotheses on the mechanism and motivation of the players.

We are creatures of reason which is great, but we still are susceptible to errors in judgement. These are small and mostly manifest as solidifying a conclusion prematurely.

But we are also social animals that have an inherent drive to find and defend our place in the pecking order. We display dominance to those beneath us and submission to those above.

The strategies of online conflict are varied and mirror those of offline conflict, but the core social desire is the same: to win the favor of our masters and weaken our lessers, unless we are forced to think for ourselves and become aware of the folly of it all.
Unfortunately the Alpha core is unlikely to ever return, much as its fans would like.

Thanks for the comment. About this:

What actually bothers me about the event was that after the physical altercation ended in the car the life of Wilson was no longer threatened. But then he got out of his vehicle and chased Brown down, apparently while shooting at him. How is that a legitimate use of force?

It's an officer's job/duty to chase down someone who just attacked them. I went into some of that at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8747052

Basically, if they're willing to attack an officer, they're definitely willing to attack anyone else in the community. Their motive isn't exactly clear, so maybe they don't pose an immediate danger to the community, but their willingness to commit physical violence is very clear at that point. So it's very important to apprehend them. Plus, if the offender later turned out to be a murder suspect, the officer would rightly get into deep trouble if they'd been attacked by them and didn't go chase them down immediately, especially if they escape and go into hiding.

What sucks is that the police department only gave him a gun and nothing else. Pepper spray or a taser would have avoided all of this madness. Or a working videocamera with audio pickups.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuupBHUGbYo#t=1m02s goes to pretty great lengths to explain all of the painstaking process the jury went through to analyze the physical evidence and every piece of witness testimony. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone who's interested in all of this or considering joining the Brown protests to watch that whole video. It seems difficult to think that the physical evidence is unreliable or that conflicts of interests may have caused the jury to ignore parts of the physical evidence. Though I suppose anything is possible.

In general, if you make jokes that a member of another race would perceive as racist, you've already done something wrong, even if you don't perceive it as racist, but just as some sort of "weird" humor.

If it made the interviewee feel unwelcome at the company, there is no possible explanation that would make this ok -- the simple fact that they feel excluded is what makes it not ok.

Making people feel excluded, or even doing or saying things behind closed doors that would make people feel excluded if they knew about them, is part of the problem that makes people who are not part of the majority feel unwelcome in a company's culture, and in the industry as a whole.
I dont personally like Go, but from what you mean, since im taking Java, I dont need to learn C on top of that, so I can just get into Rust(and i want to be a web developer as a career). plus Rust has its frameworks like Nickel and Iron that are being actively developed on.
Yes. And those people are racists.
Agreed, basically the most incorrect thing I've ever read on the Internet. Windows 2000 was amazing.

White Room
This is a comfortably cluttered room. Cluttered with bookshelves, mostly. To one side is a large desk, on which a computer squats regally. A lumpy couch is the only other furniture of note.

Beside the computer is a small glass box.

Resting on the couch, and snoring in a manner which you suspect infringes copyrights owned by several local earthquakes, is a huge genie. Honest.

>eat the genie
(first taking the genie)
I don't suppose the genie would care for that.

>eat the computer
(first taking the computer)
That's hardly portable.

>eat the glass box
(first taking the small glass box)
That's plainly inedible.

>eat all the books
You can't use multiple objects with that verb.

Recursion is mostly an academic tool. In the real world it is a bad idea.

It's interesting that a bunch of people went off in a down-vote spree yet not one person offered a non-trivial use of recursion in commercial, medical or military software.

It wastes resources and it simply isn't safe. Used in the wrong place it can actually kill people.
When people "unknowingly" out themselves as bigots, no, you don't have to be "considerate" and take it to them. That's terrible advice.
Thanks, will probably buy it.
That's interesting. After getting into game modding, I lost most interest in single player games other than modding them/playing with mods. Multi-player FPS was still fun, but playing Crysis after tweaking some LUA files so you were invincible and could punch trucks into the air was way more fun to me.

Two other similar things ring similar to me. I was big into haunted houses when I was younger, volunteered at them and hung out around the online "haunting" community every season, and to this day visiting haunted houses is more about admiring what is being done than being scared. I recognize the animitronics from the catalog, know to expect that panel to drop, and know how that illusion is done, but I still enjoy visiting a good haunted house.

The other really sad thing, is that living in downtown Atlanta where there is a moving/tv show being filmed within a block of my place every other week it seems, I've seen the sausage being made. Knowing how long it takes to setup and shoot a scene that may only be 30 seconds in the movie, it's "ruined" watching TV shows/movies, as I can't help but think about the filming process. I was blissfully unaware how much work went into filming a simple shot of two people walking down a city street.
It's not so much about what you value, but what values you project.
If anyone is interested in rust and cryptography, we have a meetup this Thursday in San Francsico focused on it:

We are currently full, but we are live streaming it on:

We also have about 10-15 people unrsvp the day-of, so there is a chance spots for free up between now and then.
This article mentions this problem and addresses it towards the end of the article. The key part of addressing the problem is confidentiality.

Windows 2000 is one of my favorite OS. I barely used XP because I liked it so much I almost went straight from 2000 to windows 7.
Only people who are not members of minority groups think that someone saying something degrading to you is an easy path to riches. It simply doesn't work that way in real life.

First off, no one is going to believe you, and everyone will seek to explain it away and inpugn your credibility. But even if you somehow have audiovisual evidence that proves your claims conclusively and you have a slam dunk court case, there's zero chance that you're going to make enough money from it to cancel out the income you will lose from making yourself effectively unemployable to anyone who runs a background check on you. If you're on record as a troublemaker that sues their employer, no one will hire you.
This is great. After a few minutes of being frantically overwhelmed I gradually figured things out. Cool to see what ATC has to deal with, I was always curious how that looked.

There are two things I'd like to see:

- More than two speed options. A slider, if possible?

- Some sort of simple scripting. I'd like to be able to dial in, "Navigate to WAYPOINT, then when you reach that, navigate to OTHER WAYPOINT, then descend to 5000 feet, then land on runway XX."
Sam Zell visited the LA times newsroom, where he made the comments I quoted regarding "pussy."

Then, he went to the LA Times printing plant and made the comments I mentioned regarding watching porn: http://www.bulldogreporter.com/dailydog/article/turmoil-la-t... So I feel that my facts are not significantly different than the truth.

Also, reviewing the sources, he told the reporter -- a reporter from his own paper -- "fuck you" from the podium, rather than "motherfucker." That one was caught on video. There's much, much more on Zell; don't rule anything out by the ordinary sanity checks.

I find him a fascinating character. Utterly repellent, of course. He illustrates the emptiness of the rebel posture, when isolated from any sense of ethics or dignity. Did I mention that he's had The Eagles, and Fleetwood Mac, play at his birthday parties? It's that rock and roll rebel spirit ;-).
You can distinguish the two doctors very easily: for any given patient, the doctor with low success rates will give that patient lower odds than the doctor who only tackles harder cases.

I got a similar feeling from this - that's why I'd love to see some hard data behind the algorithm, or at least bits and pieces about the methodology used to arrive upon it.
Bah, web comics. Typo.
These days I usually write about things I want to understand (through writing), not things I already understood. I like to thing this approach is immune to trolling.
Sure. Everywhere I worked there had been people from all countries and continents but Antarctica, working together without any problems but they are, apparently, racists.

You know, I'd rather be with friendly "racists" who have not fired anyone over their alleged "racism" than anywhere in Tech, where one seems to have to be conforming to the party line even outside the work in order to keep the job (e.g. Adria Richards incident).
Great! At least we are in agreement that you are cheap and have no problem not paying certain people for their work since you won't suffer any repercussions.
I didn't find such expectation in the docs, and someone else posted this, where it says that researchers from IBM were using their tech to analyse tweets:

I'd assume that this might be the same algorithm, but I'm not really sure of that.

Saying "I don't know".
Before everytime somebody asks me something I'd answer anything but "I don't know", just because they asked me I was expected to know answer, and I kinda didn't want to break expectations.
But then I started answering "I don't know" and it feels really great. Now every time I answer so unless I'm absolutely sure on my answer.

But what if Brown wasn't attacking the officer but defending himself?

Dorian Johnson's story is that Wilson almost ran them over, slammed his door into them, and then grabbed Brown and pulled him through the window. IF Michael Brown is struggling to get free after being unnecessarily assaulted by Wilson and then sees Wilson draw his gun then of course he is going to strike the officer trying to flee.

And this is why the situation is so troubling. The witness testimony is all over the place and unreliable (as it usually is), and it leaves open huge variations in how the events transpired.

Yes, Wilson was struck somehow. But we don't know who initiated the conflict and that has a huge bearing on what happens next.

Yes, Brown was shot in the car. But we have no idea if he actually got ahold of the gun in Wilsons hand and was aiming it at Wilson. Wilson could have simply pulled the gun out and started firing.

Yes, we know that Brown ran away and was chased.

Yes, we know he was shot facing Wilson. But we don't know if he was standing still surrendering or charging.

I've read a huge chunk of the grand jury testimony and looked at a lot of the evidence and the only reasonable conclusion that you can come to is "I don't know what happened".

two other things. First, I'm sure most people believe that if a police officer tells you to do something you do it. That might be really good advice, especially if you have brown skin, but I think it's not reasonable to blindly obey over-aggressive and unfounded requests just because the person has a badge.

Second, police tend to escalate situations way beyond what is necessary and my gut says the Ferguson event is a perfect example if you hedge against Wilsons whitewashed version.

One more thing...police need to be evaluated on a different metric then simply arrests. Killing a fleeing suspect should almost always be an intolerable event inside the police department. Letting the guy get away is almost always the better alternative (almost being the key word). But, as you said, that would get the officer in trouble. Which is just dumb.
I've found that putting swap files on things that don't behave like filesystems can cause interesting behaviors. In this case, all writes to the file would go through the VFS. I imagine there could be some curious issues if that write path has any allocations or significant amount of mutation in it.

I would trust more something that got rid of the VFS layer and simply allowed VRAM to be used directly as a second level below RAM using the transcendental memory model.

@wslh go-bitcoin-multisig is not a full wallet -- it's only a multisig transanction builder, so given the requirements of a multisig transaction (m required keys, n public keys, destination etc.), you can construct a raw multisig transaction. An example where this is useful is for example, in implementing a Bitcoin micropayment channel (https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#micropayment-channel) between a payer and payee -- for example as a server-client solution for micropayments buying content. This is what I'm working on next.
How to fund my biotech and big data startup idea?
I think I have a startup idea that lies at the intersection of biotech & big data which could prove quite successful. It is in fact tackling one of PG's frightenly ambitious startup ideas [1]. I have a good proof of concept prototype. However, I'm having a hard time to find any funding opportunities that could help me to go beyond that stage.

I'm a graduate student at Cambridge University, which is one of the hottest biotech hubs in the world so this is a bit disappointing. I don't seem to be alone here, one slightly old WSJ article points in the same direction [2].

My startup would require ~$0.5M to get started, mostly for purchasing expensive machinery, which is a quite modest amount in biotech terms. That's partly because a large part of the startup functions would be machine learning-based, which is thankfully a lot cheaper to run than a wet lab.

We would be tackling a very general problem, so this amount seems even more modest in perspective. Google got funded with $25M back in '99 to get past the prototype stage.

Understandably, places like YC won't go up to that much of initial funding because it doesn't fit their model [3]. On the other hand, biotech VCs seem to prefer investing on drug pipelines. My idea is very IT-based, so they seem to dislike going into that alien route. Therefore, I might be stuck between both worlds.

Any ideas on who should I approach or possible VCs happy to fund this kind of thing? (Email details on my profile if you prefer to reach me that way).

If you get a heads up from journalists that they are going to be looking, and you have a bunch of illegal monitoring going on, I for one would be very careful about doing anything, in case said journalists had been competent enough to do a pass before giving me a heads up, and use before/after scans to determine the extent of my own surveillance capabilities.

It certainly possible it is foreign agencies - the US has been known to carry out questionable surveillance in Norway before - but the history of Norwegian intelligence makes me far more worried about them. Norwegian intelligence were illegally bugging the homes of people I knew into the 90's, and harassed them by having agents walk up to them on the streets to make fun of them for conversations they'd had with their families.
It's a cool hack, but with X obsolescent is there much long-term use for it?
