I'm not a programmer so bear with me.

They have a cadre of samples in the project, searching on "#pragma once" shows no examples of Objective-C (that I can see) using that line but does show C/C++ examples with it. Is that the input to the classifier?

The heuristic you linked appears to default to identifying as C; that regex doesn't look like it has anything to make the else-if return the sample as Obj-C.

I'd have expected the fact that most other files on the project were C to be the dominant factor that - without any other positive result in the classifier - would weight the files as being C. Presumably this data isn't used in classifier though?

Interesting.

As someone who maintains email campaign servers and mailing lists, most people who report as spam do so as a last resort. Many have tried to unsubscribe, and often their email isn't in our system; usually they have a mail list forward it to them, and they don't know which mail list.

Colorful Development: Dynamic Graphs
Yeah but you feeling threatened by newcomers to the industry is no different than my old white grandfather feeling threatened when hispanics move next door. The tech industry was the one place where you felt accepted. Isn't it selfish to deny that acceptance to others?

Only dogs bark at strangers. The rest of us say "welcome."
It happens in all areas of everything. I'm convinced. It comes in cycles, because of generational retirements/career transitions. Younger/newer folks don't have the experience to know what the older/more experienced folks do. The older/more experienced folks do a bad job of documenting their experiences for the next group.

I'm thoroughly convinced I'm correct, but have no data to back it up.

I have to say, LibreSSL's snarky PR stance when it was first launched really turned me off. This stuff is hard and the code is old; being an asshole about the code quality is really inappropriate. Has their behavior matured since then?
> I really disagree. Rust does not allow uninitialized values by design - end of story. If a piece of Rust code let's uninitialized values bleed through, then it is broken. The semantics of Rust demands this. (OpenSSL on the other hand only broke/Overrode OpenBSD's malloc - they didn't break C.)

I'm not familiar enough with Rust (mostly on account of being more partial to Go...), so I will gladly stand corrected if I'm missing anything here.

If the OpenSSL did the same thing they did in C -- implement their own, custom allocator over a pre-allocated memory region, would anything in Rust prevent them from the same sequence of events? That is:

1. Program receives a packet and wants 100 bytes of memory for it.
2. It asks custom_allocator to give it a 100 byte chunk. custom_allocator gives it a fresh 100 byte chunk, which is correctly initialized because this is Rust.
3. Program is done with that chunk...
4. ...but custom_allocator is not. It marks the 100 byte chunk as free for it to use them again, but continues to retain ownership and does not clear its contents.
5. Program receives a packet that claims it has 100 bytes of payload, so it asks custom_allocator to give it a chunk of 100 bytes. custom_allocator gives it the same chunk as before, without asking the Rust runtime for another (initialized!) chunk. Program is free to roam around those 100 bytes, too.

I.e. the semantics of Rust do not allow for data to be uninitialized, but custom_allocator sidesteps that.
Very interesting. I imagine marketing to an older age group requires leveraging more traditional channels though.

Probably a trade secret, but what is your most successful marketing channel?
I will take it one step further. Enterprise software is designed to "sell". In enterprise software, the buyer and the user are not the same person and the buyer has the power. That is why enterprise software sales is so bloated.

We build and sell enterprise software and our strength is design. The way we work around this problem is that we are selling only to early adopters and have also open sourced our product. We are not getting the big bucks, but its starting to show result.

The more degrees of separation there are between the order to kill and killing, the easier killing becomes.

This can cause all sorts of effects, including a fear of the sky itself, as can be see by the comments of this 13 year old who shortly after became the third member of his family to be killed by a drone in Yemen: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/feb/10/drones-dream-ye...

It is also notable that the weapons used by predator drones when not just recon (as in the boingboing article) are hellfire missiles, burning innocents as well as targets.

It has been shown that "cutting the head off the snake"/killing leaders of these groups just doesn't work - ultimately since 2001 we have spent $1.6tr, killed thousands of civilians and the number of jihadists has gone from 1,000 to 100,000, with groups increasingly effective.

While an immediate threat/node is removed, the environment these attacks create leads to a multiplier effect on new nodes unless one is prepared to go for full on repression and savagery, in which case you are mirroring the enemy.

Finally the mass consumerisation of drone technology means it is only a matter of time before smaller versions are used against us, something that will cause huge levels of regulation on booming drone startups and likely wiping out of equity for many in the coming years.
Noticed a lot of false positive too since the new year.

After investigation, it appeared that the ahbl.org's RBL was now wildcarding everything as spam : http://ahbl.org/node

In my particular case I use my own servers that flags mails before sending them to google.
I doubt that google relies on ahbl but most servers with a old version of spamassassin do.

IMHO Those false positive by gmail might be due to a large amount of false positive forwarded to them by servers that rely on spamassassin.
Using female names (especially "attractive" names like Jessica, Tiffany, etc.) is an old trick. Males will generally be more receptive to opening an email with a name like this in the from field.
Well they have a monopoly on tube sites, I don't think they'd care enough to keep their content outside the few others.

True, or just have a setting in Gmail to choose how aggressive you want the spam filter to be.
Yes, the BBC Micro was great, thirty years ago. The world has changed somewhat. You can't build a technology programme on nostalgia.

The comparison to existing platforms is being made because platforms matter. 30 years ago there were no deemed adequate platforms so the BBC had to build their own. Today there is at least the Pi and the Arduino, as well as the Lilypad wearables series. Creating a new platform for the sake of it dilutes effort rather than strengthening it.

I'm concerned that this is the domestic equivalent of a fly-by-night aid initiative, that drops in a whole bunch of resources and expensive personnel for a year or two then vanishes.
Like what? I mean, the problem that people with expertise are being replaced by people without it but who will work for less is not a phenomenon unique to this industry, in the first place (look at the rise of services like MyGengo or Mechanical Turk or TaskRabbit or or or), and, besides that, if a whole industry's worth of filming people are suddenly unemployed how can the other industries (which are presumably already well-staffed) really absorb them all?

You’ll Never Guess What’s Actually in Your Supplements…
Spaceflight Industries Raises $20M
For the uninitiated this looks completely barbaric, but makes a whole lot of sense when you consider that PS is built around an object-based pipeline. 'Select-String' in PS doesn't actually return a string, but a 'MatchInfo' object, which contains more properties -- 'linenumber', 'context', etc, as well as the 'line' property which contains the actual matched lines as strings. The default output from any part of the pipeline is a human-readable/terminal-display-compatible representation of the object's commonly used properties, thus the truncation.

As an aside, you can replace the foreach with select-object for an efficiency gain:

sls "Pattern" file.txt | select -exp line | out-file t.txt

Zeropc: Your content navigator for the cloud
You can't always treat humans as resources. Some fields are so complicated that you need superheroes, or else you need to build an organization to do the work. NTP is that complicated. What it's doing is relatively simple, but the surrounding infrastructure you need is ridiculous, and the security concerns enormous. If there's a vulnerability it affects the entire world. So you can't just find someone to replace him.

If you go with a superhero, then you have to deal with him. You can't just say, "Sorry bud, we need to uproot you and move you in-town." Even if he doesn't say no, which he very well could, leaving you and your plans fucked and the world unprotected, driving all the enjoyment out of the job will make him eventually say "fuck it, I'm retiring."

Okay, let's go with an organization. Who is going to build it? You still need the superhero. The critical nature of the infrastructure demands you use the guy whose been covering your ass all this time, because most anybody else you're going to find is going to fuck it up, and there can be no possibility of a fuck-up.

And you can't buy a superhero for any amount of money. There just aren't that many of them.
But not equivalent for some use cases. Like, say I want to use 'find' (not windows find.exe) to find files on a Windows filesystem.
Yeah, as long as companies can profit from mining your data, the wealth of cloud services will be built that way. And consumers' obsession with "free stuff" only encourages it. I've played with ownCloud extensively, though Sandstorm.io is the new hotness that I think has a lot of potential down the line.
Motivated by this thread, I just checked my personal account (gmail, email address hardly publicized at all) and my business account (GAE business, email address widely publicized). In the interest of balance, my anecdata is that the gmail anti-spam filters work very well for my two accounts.

No false positive spam at all in the personal account, and only a few dozen spam over the last several weeks.

One false positive spam in the business account out of the several hundred I bothered to check before I got bored (I've close to 800 spam over the last few weeks) - and that false positive is something I could easily have ignored.

Works for me, FWIW, YMMV and likely does.

Enterprise software procurement will shift thanks to SaaS and the ability of teams/departments to buy what they need quickly. More and more, this is a means to bypass the formal, long-winded procurement process.

Hence pricing SaaS to sit below team credit card spend limit helps.

That's when polished, 'tasteful' and usable software should win.

The "schemaless" argument is nonsense as well. No schema enforcement at the database level means more checking at the application level (more work basically).

Selma and Beyond
This sums up my experience as well. Great for all the tedious insert update type stuff, but more hassle than they are worth for complex queries.
Mocking the screens would require that there be a design. Having a design would require...well, requirements.

Too few internal enterprise development environments manage to do these things. So an enterprise product with beautiful design is at a disadvantage for all the reasons other have noted, but also because it breaks the branding of the suite of enterprise software in which it becomes embedded, makes the rest of it look bad, and draws attention to the fact that the local IT department had to go out and buy something. :-) .
oh, thank you for the heads up
People leave developer jobs all the time; it's expected.
You haven't been able to change the process working "from the inside" so resist the urge to give them any "helpful" advice on your way out - it won't be appreciated.

Find your next job. This is important: When your new employer asks you when you can start, tell them depending "on how fast your can wrap things up" 1 to 2 weeks.

If you current employer walks you out the door when you tell them you're leaving , enjoy a week or two off. If they want you to stay for 2 weeks you do that and start your new job afterwards.

Interesting device, but as one who had a BBC Micro (and still has it), the Micro enabled you to get programming on it straight away; this does not. You need another machine. Plus, flashing LEDs is not quite the same as the User Port or mode 7 graphics output...

I was saddened to see the plans for a drama based on Grand Theft Auto as being part of it though - surely a drama based on beating people up, stealing cars and shooting people isn't a great thing to be promoting to youngsters? Who thinks these things up? Are they going to be showing this to 11 year olds too? A great future generation we'll have to look forward to then!
Yeah, my first thought on this link was "copyright infringement?"
This is very much a theory. If the companies are not able to create a network effect, much of their valuation is not defendable.

I personally believe they do not have a significant network effect. They have a brand. But they do not have a network effect.

When I search for flights, I start with JetBlue. I have the most points there, I generally have good flights, and they have the most flights out of my local airport. That's the power of a brand. However I'll go to Hipmunk and start looking for alternatives if the JetBlue options don't look great. If something is better, I'll buy that.

On the other hand, I really don't like Facebook. Yet, there is nothing I can do about dragging my friends to an alternative. That's a network. There is literally no value for me to be on a Facebook alternative because my friends are not there.

From my experience taking rides in Uber/Lyft, it seems like many drivers are using both. Customers are often aware of both. I have used both.

While it is true you need a minimum network size to ensure that rides are available, I don't think the network is exclusive. You need a minimum amount of capital to buy airplanes and setup of a network of flights, that doesn't naturally lead to a single airline.

It does. The Pi comparison more likely comes from the Raspberry Pi Foundation being an UK-based educational nonprofit with the mission of making computer education more accessible. Sounds like the BBC has a similar goal here.

It might be a surprise to you, but it is the military who learned the most from Vietnam. It is the American public and our politicians who seem to have learned the least. The military is simply doing its job when presented with a task, whether it was spawned out of noble intentions or kneejerk reactionism.

They know that they must be careful in pursuing anything that looks vaguely like a target, because the sentiment of the population is far more important than a small victory like that. Hence the multi-billion-dollar communications and failsafes chain described in this article. This is a key concept that seems to be going over people's heads in this thread. Yes, it failed in this case and in many others. But the very fact that it exists at all and is sophisticated as it is should be a clue as to the lessons learned. The military is achieving far more value with far less collateral damage. Contrast this with the Soviet's preferred method of waging war against the Afghani Mujahideen, which was to kill every living thing and totally and utterly raze every structure in the direction from which they were shot at from.

So again, can you conceive a better alternative for dealing with reality as it is now? Time travel is not possible, answers like "don't invade other countries" are pretty worthless. Nobody wants this war(well, nobody with a soul and a modicum of compassion), but it is what it is, and as far I know, it's the best solution to minimize civilian deaths.
