And one last story regarding the Glass.

Google engineers came to us for a public demonstration. Now, our network has a secure component (WPA2-enterprise) and a non-secure component. However to use either, you need to register the MAC address with our system. Simple. No.

For a company that made Android, and focuses oh so much on security, they dont support WPA2-enterprise. Just doesn't work. So, we were relegated to the unencrypted network. Except, we needed the MAC addresses.

So, how do you get a MAC address on a Glass? You go in to settings and.... Just kidding! You don't get to see what the MAC address is on a Glass. You have to associate it to a AP and then look in the configs to see what MAC it has.

So... Google Engineers gave us a list of their GG mac addresses. Except, they got it wrong. But of course, they gave us this list 30 minutes before the demo.

Eventually, our network didn't work with GG. They ended up buying Aircards from some cell vendor.

That's what I call "Google Quality". No support. Worse than Alpha, except you paid retail 'production quality' for it. Google

Project Tango is also another turd, in the similar light of the GG. Except the 3d driver crashes regularly (every 3-10 minutes of use).
If you aren't having fun, it might be too easy. Make a challenge... say, you and your friends have to split up for X number of days and can only spend Y amount of money in that time (it's an honor system kinda thing). Or, you could agree to race to a specific destination, but only travel in vehicles with two wheels, or no motors, or something like that.

I don't think that follows – surely if the target was a source of 'significant political embarrassment', the last thing you'd want to do is draw attention to the matter!

Honestly, I don't know what would happen if he weren't a political hot potato. Much like Abu Hamza, I imagine the British establishment would rather he was just none of their problem. Unfortunately, that's not something they can do in this case.
> 8. $1500 . For "Google Quality".

I'm truly wondering whether you mean that Google usually makes high quality, or that they usually screw stuff up. I'm assuming the latter, because it's what I agree with (anyone ever used Maps or, say, Android <5?) but maybe I'm just weird that way.
There is already a well-developed shell with rich data structures and a fairly reasonable programming language: Microsoft's PowerShell. Sadly it is not a Unix shell. You're probably aware of it, but if not, check it out for design inspiration.
For deeply nested structures, it'll always be a bit of a hassle. In your toy example, you can use struct literals to get to the guts of the object quickly.

So what have they been using the domain for in the few weeks since registration? The domain doesn't appear in web.archive.org until today, and searching Google for the domain between December and the end of January shows nothing.

The website itself says "we have created a dedicated website ... anthemfacts.com" for this incident.

[Edit: replaced two egregious uses of "website" with "domain"]
This is a bad idea. You want to impose a tax on people when they create something? Penalizing people for innovation is the exact opposite of what copyright protection is intended to do.

If I create something, and a corporation with deep pockets wants to take it from me, they can just keep upping their bid until the tax for me to keep it would bankrupt me, forcing me to give it up? No thanks.
I would be very interested in seeing a comparison with gen_server, it looks interesting.

Embedding in Jolie looks like a language primitive implementing something that resembles some of the ideas found in supervision trees.

AFAIK, dynamic fault handling is not subsumed by dynamic code loading in the specific case of request-response operations in parallel code (http://iospress.metapress.com/content/p0647559l8455778/?issu..., see my webpage fabriziomontesi.com/research.html for the pdf), but if that's relevant for the comparison with Erlang, I don't know. In all other cases your statement is correct.
It's subsumed also in that case if you allow for dynamic code loading in the middle of waiting for a response for a request in a request-response invocation.

Another point which may be interesting: in Jolie a process inside of a microservice can have many input queues. Which messages go in which queue is decided by (an easier form of) correlation sets, basically a declarative part of the program where the programmer tells which parts of messages identify the queue in which they must go. These can be application data or even HTTP cookies, we use this features a lot for integration.
Serious question: I was under the impression that mobile data networks were exempted from this type of regulation, is what he proposing going to eliminated things like the throttling AT&T / T-Mobile / Sprint does above a certain data threshold?

Now that nature lets you read articles for free you can actually go and read the original paper.

In the paper the authors had to heat treat the steel at 900 °C for 15 mins to generate the microstructure that gave the properties they wanted.

So, what does welding do to the microstructure? Does this material need to be heat treated again at 900 °C after welding? Does the the hard-but-brittle B2 intermetallic reform in the HAZ?
> This works in Poland (big unemployement 20 years ago might have been a big factor too - everybody knew that your kids must learn English and get M.A. if they want to have a job).

A sad side-effect of this is that we have tons of unemployed M.A.s of humanities - everybody knew that their kids need to get an M.A., but not much thought was applied towards what kind of M.A. could be useful. But this can be attributed to a generation of people discovering for the first time how the whole capitalism thing works. It's a problem with social expectations, not with free universities, of course.
Definitely true! I think they're also going for other places where Twitter doesn't affect most people, talk South America, Africa, Asia... It's just this North American perspective that gets people out of context. The world's kind of a big place, y'know

- IDEs for Scala are pretty good, nowadays. They do all of what you mentioned (except unhandled exceptions, because that's a Java-specific thing).

- There's no difference between Scala and Scala.js support. To your IDE, Scala.js is Just Scala.

- There is a development cycle, absolutely, and it's pretty fast! With Workbench (https://github.com/lihaoyi/workbench) you don't even need to reload the page: it does so automatically!

- For React, there is essentially scalajs-react (https://github.com/japgolly/scalajs-react). It does not support inline-XML per se, because it relies more on ScalaTags instead (https://github.com/lihaoyi/scalatags), but at some point there was a proof of concept showing it was possible to implement with macros.
In the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Apex/Morrisville) area of North Carolina, AT&T UVerse was laying fiber until very recently. They literally stopped when the FCC started talking about Title II. When Google Fiber was announced for this area a couple weeks ago, Time Warner announced speed upgrades at all their price levels, effective in the next couple of months. They aren't modifying their network at all -- it's just a reduction in blatant abuse. We'll now be auto-upgraded [at their top end] from 50/5 to 300/50. THAT IS INFURIATING!
Not that I think it's a good use of money in this case, but disproportional responses are what is expected and needed from policing. The other option is "well we think this guy just bombed a street and raped 15 people but we've already hit the £54 budget so we'll forget about him, let's go spend £54 on some old grandmother who hasn't committed any crimes in her life".

The issue isn't with police actions being disproportional to average budget per person, the issue is whether they make the right decisions on who and to what extent.
No need to create new accounts to praise yourself. (both accounts created 8 hours ago, I doubt it's a coincidence)
CPU backdoors are a very real concern, but not only in the CPU but in the growing complexity of the motherboard chipset. For example, a malicious memory controller could manipulate data on the way to the CPU, causing a faithful CPU to do malicious things.

For highly secured systems, this is of growing concern. With the amount of stuff made in China the supply chain is considered a considerable attack surface which has to be considered when sourcing electronics.
Ask HN: What do you use to A/B test in Django
There are some feature switch libraries out there like https://github.com/disqus/gargoyle/ and https://github.com/jsocol/django-waffle but not an actual A/B testing library. What libraries do you use ?
Please do. I am very intrigued.
Ask HN: Pre-seed startup, should we get patents filed before demo day?
How much would a patent filing (i.e. it would be patent pending) on biometric technology increase valuation for a pre-seed two-person team startup based in London and funded by an accelerator?

We have two options:
1) Focus on getting end-users with an app we will be releasing to showcase our tech
2) Focus our time on filing a patent

Due to time to the demo day we can realistically focus only on a single point. Could not find a definite answer myself, so asking has anyone been in similar situation?

I appreciate there cannot be a binary yes/no answer, so I am really looking to better understanding the tradeoffs based on first-hand experience!
treaties work in both directions
You are correct. Scala.js compiles Scala code to JS, not bytecode. A number of core Java classes have been ported to Scala.js so they can be used anyway, though. (see http://lihaoyi.github.io/hands-on-scala-js/#JavaAPIs for a mostly exhaustive list so far)
- How good do IDEs understand Scala these days? Compared to C#/Java, where IDEs instantly know a crazy lot about your code. I am looking at features like IntelliSense, marking wrong code, marking typos, marking unused code, telling me about unhandled Exceptions etc.

IntellIj has a very nice plug-in, it will tell you a lot about your code, including suggestions of best practices. The down side is that the more "functional" your code gets, the slower IDE becomes(that's also true for Eclipse), but chances are that when that happens, you won't care about having an IDE.
So IntellIj will be great to get you started, it does help a LOT.

Is there any difference, on the IDE side, between Scala support and Scala.JS support?

Not sure about this, it seems like you can just code in IntelliJ/Eclipse, but the debugging has to happen in the browser, it does work very nicely(you debug the scala code, not the generated javascript)

I owe you the bonus question :-P
It is possible that this is easier than I think in Python, but here is an example where Perl made my life (and various co-workers' lives) easier. A couple of years ago I needed to copy a bunch (between 1000 and 2000) posts from an old web site to a new one. This required parsing forms on the destination site, and also stripping out tags the new site did not support. The CPAN module HTML::TreeBuilder allowed me to do this quickly and without undue difficulty.
Don't forget the Google Closure compiler in advance mode.

Absolutely not. With Google, you're guaranteed quite a few things.

1. Lack of updates. Nexus 7 issue.

2. No support. Or read as "Community driven support" as in go to a forum and beg.

3. Beta = not even alpha.

4. Expected to pay retail production price for buggy crap.

5. Have to complain on HN or twitter to get any sort of response.

6. Every device chatters to home base constantly.

7. Updates end up downgrading features.

8. No safe fail-over when services halt (mailbox death with merge tool).

The Robinson Curriculum http://www.robinsoncurriculum.com/ is build entirely on that principle.

Robinson, who was primary research associate of the 20th Century's premier chemist, Linus Pauling, was forced to come up with something when his wife suddenly died. His thesis is that we now have something better to train the mind than the old classics of Latin and Greek and what was written in them. Math and science, but real science.

So the curriculum has an initial singular focus on reading, 'riting, and 'rithmatic, with the reading selections bringing in the other stuff needed like history. The math focus is to get you through single variable calculus as fast as possible, and only then do you study calculus based physics and otherwise pick up additional math as you need it. If there's time before college, then chemistry. If there's even more time, statistical mechanics and/or "Call the CalTech bookstore and ask them what's the current textbook for the general biology class" (he's an alumn).

If the child gets interested in a particular science topic, say ants, treat it as a subject outside of the formal learning. Get him a significant professional book on the subject, which he of course won't initially understand all that much of, but will prompt him to start filling in the gaps (that worked for me when in the '70s I rather randomly got my hands on some books like one on rocketry circa. the '50s)

It's also designed to be non-labor intensive after initially teaching phonics and the math tables by rote, just grade the writing each school day, have the kids grade their own math work, and generally watch over them and e.g. make sure they're doing the reading (again, something forced on his family by the death of his wife, he could do most of this while doing his own science research).

It's very interesting, and I would have loved to have been taught this way as opposed to struggling in a school system which had a college track but which had abolished its "honors" classes because they were "racist" (this, despite in my year the school systems' best chess player being black), and that including no AP courses and a lot that granted automatic As, like Latin and physics (which was just as well for the latter, since algebra based physics is cargo cult science).

It's not a small miracle I learned just enough math to get accepted by MIT (which is not as intense as CalTech), and most of the other factors in the acceptance had nothing to do with my public schooling, such as geographic balance and demonstrating I could do serious science and (software) engineering projects.
You're ignoring the bits of that article you don't like:

Metaprogramming Elixir
I actually don't think its so much about code safety either. To me the real top advantage of static typing is that it leaves the code self-documenting, easier to navigate around, easier to refactor as you say...etc.

Having said that the flexibility JS gives you is huge, I've played with Scala and its at the opposite end of the scale. I don't mind that but I am more interested in things like gradual typing being added JS, even if that just ended up being checked at run-time, because it gives you some of the big advantages of static typing without sacrificing all the of the dynamic goodness.
> The Republicans were right to oppose FCC action for "neutrality" when what it really meant (at the time) was the ability to monitor and censor conservative blogs.

The Federal Communications Commission Open Internet -- the thing the FCC has done addressing what is known in public discourse as "net neutrality" -- principles haven't substantially changed, though details of the approach to advancing them have, and neither the principles nor the implementation approaches have ever included monitoring and censoring conservative blogs. And the GOP has been opposed to FCC regulating non-blocking and non-discrimination for all lawful content by broadband ISPs for years.

You seem to be confusing what is itself a misrepresentation of the Federal Elections Commission -- a completely different agency -- discussions on rules for political ad disclosures in the wake of a 2005 Federal court ruling requiring them not to exempt all internet communication from the scope of "public communication" in their rules with the FCC's Open Internet rules.

(Or perhaps confusing something that was an even bigger misrepresentation of Federal Trade Commission rules on online general advertising disclosures.)

It looks nice, but I am not sure as to what new things it brings over, for example, eatthismuch.com (who generates menus from an already populated food database).
Yes, but they can use that as grounds to not pay a claim if they find out.

It's not illegal, but it violates the contract you sign with them and lets them off the hook for paying for things. Mind you, they'll still keep the money you paid them.

> The Cook family are not just homeschoolers but unschoolers. They don’t prefer homeschooling simply because they find most schools too test-obsessed or underfunded or otherwise ineffective.

It's interesting that even those that are skeptical about the US educational system system seem to cast the problem in very traditional terms. I think a big problem with the educational system is about the inefficiency of the bundling of goods.

A lot of value has been generated from un-bundling of goods in other sectors. People used to read newspapers for news, sports, classifieds, op-ed, etc. Today' many people get their news from one venue, sports from another, and so on. I don't often hear people suggesting that maybe the system should be less bundled so students/parents have a choice to take different classes from different providers. A lot of schools may have good math programs but weaker English programs but there is no reason that these classes have to be bundled together. At the very least we should un-bundle sports from education. Although sports are beneficial to many young people, having them tied to an educational institute seems ridiculous.

In regards to what these parents are doing, I'm happy with any experimentation. Hopefully some parents will be able to pool their resources and serve groups of children. One parent can teach engineering to the neighbors kids, and another can teach literature.
There are some compromises, for sure. It's fair to look at it as syntactically a middle ground between those comfy scripting languages and the rigidity of c/java style languages.

Which is to say that it's scripting language esque. I speak from experience when I say that going from Python to Go was relatively painless and I'm just getting into Ruby and it feels equally verbose to both Python and Go.

Probably the only area where "less lines of code" comes into play is error handling, and there are very easy, clean ways to do that in Go as well.
Do you not see how this would rig the system in favor of deep pocketed corporations even more? You basically said it yourself:

Since the original paper is behind a paywall (at least for me), can anyone explain the specifics of what the researchers did to produce this new alloy?

>> Dr Kim and his colleagues have, however, found that a fifth ingredient, nickel, overcomes this problem.

I'd imagine that it didn't take a world-class team of scientists to have come up with the idea of alloying using nickel. There is no way materials scientists and metallurgists hadn't tried this by now, so what did they do differently?

Believing that life is fair makes you a terrible person
Any hashing algorithm can be made slower by stretching (repeatedly running the algorithm), so speed on its own is kind of meaningless

Ideally you want algorithms that are hard to design custom hardware for, or in other words, are very efficient on general purpose hardware (CPU/GPU). You can then stretch the algorithm to take 200ms on your server without it being doable in nanoseconds by dedicated hardware

I'm not entirely sure what "too slow for its memory usage means", but I would guess that it doesn't use enough memory which means ASICs/FPGAs are relatively easier to make for it
That seems doubtful as they have stopped selling them.
