Yes,but not immediately, the initial reaction of the perpetrator was to defend the decision on twitter, thats what happens when you attack someone, they go on the defensive...

..but that same objective could have been achieved privately. A nice email from the victim stating that they see they copied their design and would greatly appreciate them changing it ASAP...would have likely yielded a quicker and cleaner result.

Regardless, my initial comment was less addressed to the victim here, but rather to the HN community for pouncing all over it.
Hurmph. I don't see how it makes much difference whether he uses sine or cosine, since he's also adding t to the operand and then animating over it, causing the waveform to move along the x-axis. He can use one and start from t=0 or use the other and start from t=pi/2, as you like.

My point was simply that the "spike" the article goes on about (which I earlier called a discontinuity, oops) shows up because the author is reflecting his plot around the Y axis. The article makes it sound like the spike was some physically significant feature of the function being graphed.
Its worth noting that a TV is already a combination device (though, mostly, a sensible one): display + TV tuner.

In many cases, you can get a similar display separately, branded as a "Monitor" or "Commercial Display" or something similar, with HDMI inputs, etc., but no TV tuner and no smart features.

If you are using locally-stored media, internet sources and/or a cable box as your content sources, you probably don't need a TV tuner built into your display any more than you need "Smart" features built into it.

Not only is the stack narrowing, but most people who use the label "full-stack" have fixed the definition of that stack (the set of front-end and back-end components that they have experience with). So the complete definition would be "I'm a full-stack <list one or more stacks you're comfortable with> developer".

To say "I'm a full-stack developer" without that context is meaningless and will inevitably be untrue.

OK, I've now looked up the Ksplice patents that I know of. (I may not have found them all, but I think I probably have?) Here be dragons! (Those who are ordered not to read patents: Don't click on the links in this post.)

Of course the time they were granted (to Oracle, after Ksplice were bought) the applications became nigh-impenetrable patentese that really need a US-qualified patent attorney to interpret, so I'm absolutely not going to try and I'm just going to post what I found here.

Application: https://www.google.co.uk/patents/US20100269105 became patent https://www.google.co.uk/patents/US8612951 (B2) "Method of determining which computer program functions are changed by an arbitrary source code modification". (They've also cited a patent for a… coffeepot. OK, I'm pretty sure that bit's a typo. <g>)

Application: https://www.google.co.uk/patents/US20100083224 seems to have become patent https://www.google.co.uk/patents/US8261247 (B2) "Method of modifying code of a running computer program based on symbol values discovered from comparison of running code to corresponding object code".

Application: https://www.google.co.uk/patents/US20100269106 does not seem to have been granted directly, but then there's patent https://www.google.co.uk/patents/US8607208 "System and methods for object code hot updates" which I think is a continuation-in-part of it and oh I've gone cross-eyed, get a professional.

Yes it's common to have software which can find plagiarism like that. However, if the student actually does these things (change all variable names and move code around) it will be hard for an examination board to decide whether this is a false positive or real plagiarism.
My guess: it's sorta in the same fate as Reader is right now, just not being killed as quickly. There aren't many people maintaining it. And they need to upgrade to a newer backend at some point, but no one is around to rewrite it.

It's also important to note that their support for SVN, HG, and Git is all an in-house implementation to work on top of BigTable.

I'm not really sure why they let it stagnate in the first place, but someone made the call that it wasn't worth investing in anymore. Remember that Google Code really came as an answer to SourceForge which was going downhill. But then we had GitHub and BitBucket appear, which have really taken over.

For pure source repos, Google has been using Gitiles[0] for most of their public projects like Android and Chromium[1].

Looking through this study it becomes clear that any positive effects of alcohol consumption is probably based on wishful thinking rather than statistical evidence.

They do mention one important point: most studies consider non-drinkers a homogenous group. In this study, they show that a lot of the seemingly positive effect evaporates when former drinkers are removed from the study. I wonder what would happen if they also removed people from the study who don't drink alcohol because of health reasons.

Insofar as the Smart TV features promote instability and unusability, unwanted behavior, and privacy intrusions -- it may still be worthwhile to purchase dumb TVs even at a premium.

And if more people start avoiding Smart TVs because of the unreliability, unwanted behavior, and privacy issues -- it won't make sense for manufacturers to keep pushing them.
If my MFC ever starts printing random ads every 'n' scans or pages printed it's going in the bin.

IF I consider buying a Samsung 'Smart' TV in the future, it better have clear abilities to disable this kind of adserving crap. In any case, I forsee some appropriate rules being added to the house firewall.

Additional thought:

Is there a Web site where you can list products or services you HAVEN'T purchased, giving the value lost to the supplier, and why you didn't buy? Might generate some interesting stats?!

Hmm...'whyididntbuy.com' is on sale for over $2K...where can I document my non-purchase of that!?

It's tricky because the US gov't is mandating backup cameras soon. I'm not opposed to that, per se, but car manufacturers have taken it as an opportunity to shove touchscreens into every car. Since they need some sort of screen for the camera anyway, why not slap in this infotainment system we spent all this money on?

But yeah, I'll never own a car with a TV screen in the dash. I'll stick to the used market if I have to. I've heard some manufacturers are sticking a small screen in the rear view mirror using some see-through mirror trick. That seems like a much better solution than what they did to the Miata.

Edit: Actually do you have some links to that criticism? Is it in the press? I'm super interested in the new Miata, but the screen really is a deal killer and I wonder if enough negative press would cause them to reconsider or change it for future years.

Ruby has been continually decreasing on Github for a little while now.

I always find it very weird when people have debates about whether life is "meaningful" or not. "Meaningfulness" is just a feeling inside a human psyche. If it feels meaningful, then it is meaningful to you. Other people may have different feelings about what is meaningful.

How can a person of type A claim any kind of universal or objective meaningfulness of anything? How would you build a meaningfulness detector or write a meaningfulness algorithm to discern what is meaningful and what is not? What evidence is there to suggest that meaningfulness is a concept that exists outside of our own minds and experience?
If they saw less far, it is only because they stood upon the shoulders of not giants, but dwarves, and many of those had also excavated deep and luxurious holes in the ground for the purposes of their habitation.

Most people, up until the development of scientific inquiry, operated from a position of either complete ignorance or propagated misinformation.

If you transplanted a medieval child into modern times, and afforded the same advantages that we now enjoy, such as low-cost education and easy collaboration with people who have similar interests, you would be hard-pressed to find any difference between that child and one born to this era.

As we know well from trying to solve the problems of AI, intelligence and knowledge are difficult to separate. Medieval people were equally intelligent, but they had far less knowledge, and what they had was less persistent and transferable.

"Two samples were used, each utilising a different variable for alcohol usage: self reported average weekly consumption over the past year and self reported consumption on the heaviest day in the past week"

I started to question the study a when I saw self reported.

I would really like to get to the bottom of this is # of drinks a day and health. What is the true number of drinks/day that cause damage? I vaguely remember Checholvakia study that made the partipiciants bring back the

didn't sell the bottles. But even then--they could have poured out the liquor? I gave a weird feeling no drinks/day

I thought it was a great piece. Most of the "innovation" we see is total bullshit. Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, all of these things are NOT new ideas, and NOT lifechanging services, but they're valued in the millions and billions of dollars. It feels like we're in the middle of another dot-com bubble, and sooner or later it's going to pop, and we're going to realize how little we've actually contributed to society.

I totally agree that mirroring of official images should be easier, and right now it's an obstacle to easier production deployment. This is why it's important to have cryptographically signed, self-describing images. Then it becomes irrelevant where you download them from, and anyone could host a public or private mirror. I am 100% in favor of it and we are upgrading the registry system to allow it. Happy to chat more on #docker-dev.
True, but people associate it with web development. Do a university course, most likely they'll teach you PHP. Contract someone to do a small site for you, they'll probably use PHP. WordPress uses PHP and it's the foundation of some of the most popular websites on the web.

Even if you want it or not, PHP is part of the web, de facto or not.

I emphatically disagree. "Smart TVs" are recognized as a bad idea, and as such are shunned. It would be disappointing _to me_ if this hacker community didn't think about whether or not new tech was appropriate, and just immediately accepted it as a great new shiny.

> Right now, I turn on my ps4 and the channel doesn't change automatically and turn on game mode, why?

Mine does.

There's a really crappy HDMI protocol extension called HDMI-CEC (for Consumer Electronics Control). It allows for precisely this kind of thing. Unfortunately, because it was designed by committee, it's apparently not very good, and it's hard to actually get a setup that works with it properly. Notably, any kind of receiver in between your device and your TV usually causes it to not actually work, or for only parts of it to work (commonly, the receiver allows for power-on but blocks remote control).

In my case, I have my PS4 plugged directly onto a Panasonic TV. When I turn on my PS4, the TV turns on automatically and switches to the right input. And similarly, if I turn my TV on when it's on my PS4 input, or if I switch to the PS4 input after turning it on, the PS4 automatically turns on. Curiously, turning the PS4 off does not turn off the TV. Admittedly, this behavior can be annoying, because if I turn off my TV while it's set to the PS4 input (which is maybe 75% of the time), I can't turn it on again without the PS4 immediately booting up, even if I wanted to switch to another input. What I wish I could do is have the TV turn on automatically & switch inputs when turning on the PS4, but not the other way around. Another thing this feature does is let my TV remote control my PS4; for example, I can use the arrow buttons on my TV remote to navigate around the PS4 home screen. This is potentially useful for watching movies, although I haven't ever actually experimented with it.

Note that getting this to work requires turning on some settings that are ordinarily disabled. I didn't even know the PS4 had this capability until I started googling for what one of the disabled settings meant. Somewhere in PS4's settings there's an off-by-default setting called "Enable HDMI Device Link". Turn this on. Then check your TV settings for something similar. On my Panasonic there were two settings "VIERA Link" and "Power on Link" which needed to be on for this functionality. On Sony TV's it's probably called "Bravia Sync".

Here's a Polygon article with some more info: http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/21/5126628/ps4-remote-control...
"Seems like it wouldn't require many more resources"

Actually maintaining is costly.
1. The system around it is evolving, even no features are added, necessary upgrade is necessary to talk to the backend, and sometime it is nontrivial. And since svn is now not popular, should they add git support to the dated infrastructure?
2. Routine SRE works should be done, deployment to new clusters, oncall alerts.
3. Bug fixes.
4. How can the maintainers be rewarded? They are working on a project in maintain-only state, who wants to do that?

Basically, for hopeless projects, better to turn them down than make them alive in half-life.
Yes, regexes can have other syntactic representations, like:

The article's flaws aside, it does give a number of specific examples of Javascript design flaws, specifically type system flaws leading to unintuitive results (like the "wat" talk).
These are real flaws, which actually occur in real code that people are writing in Javascript, and this has been the case as long as Javascript was a thing.

It is not trivial to avoid all of Javascript's design flaws, and the bugs they create, all of the time. Pretending otherwise is like pretending that "serious" C programmers always free their memory and never dereference invalid pointers. Even if you can solve certain problems by always writing your comparisons backwards, there is a design flaw there that didn't strictly need to exist. C has at least the excuse that it's intentionally very low-level.

Whether you like them or not, whether their problems end up being worse, the huge number of layers and transpilers over Javascript (like Coffeescript and jQuery) have a following because of Javascript's enduring legacy of pain. But due to the politics of browsers (and not due to Javascript's supposedly perfect design) we seem to be permanently stuck with Javascript as the only real browser language.
It has been posited before that bacteria or viruses might play a role in obesity. This is an interesting development, for sure.
