If your problem is memory-bound then no compiler will help you.

Memory-mapping a serialisation of the dict would help, but I'm not sure how you would do that outside of an extension lib.

I don't follow that logic. First, I don't know what you mean with static. That you can't change the metaobject associated with a baselevel object? That's a loss of expressiveness.

And, what do you mean with runtime dispatch? Static and runtime dispatch combined? I am not sure I really know what you got in mind.

With dispatch chains, the runtime dispatch is resolved at runtime and the JIT compiler can inline through it. But, you need that runtime information. A static compiler, like for OpenC++ can't usually do that.

> No, the one with history going back more than an hour

When did you last try PowerShell?

In version 1.0 the history size was 64 by default - but could be changed.

In PowerShell v3 that's increased to 4096 by default. If you can overflow that in an hour you are a seriously impressive typist! That more than one command line per second - sustained.

If you manage to break that, you can assign any value up to 32767 - yes that's 9 different commands per second.

PowerShell can discard duplicates, so if you manage to break 4096 different commands in the run of one day you are doing something wrong.

Like not using snippets (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2012/06/27/snippe...).

Oh - i forget - bash don't do snippets.

> and tab completions on anything except files in `pwd`.

Seriously, have you tried PowerShell - like ever?

PowerShell's tab completion blows anything bash out of the water:
o PowerShell tab completions are based on command metadata - not on external "completion definitions". The result is that tab completion works for all cmdlets - not just for those that has a "completion file".
o PowerShell will complete on anything: Command names, parameter names (options), parameter values - even dynamic values. Try this on PowerShell "ps <tab>" - and you'll be allowed to complete based on the names of running processes.
o PowerShell tab completion also works for parameters of user defined functions - and even for parameters of script files. If you declare a script to take parameters, PowerShell will pick it up and allow tab completion on the parameter names and allowed values.

I don't think many people wants it back. But many people do appear to look at the empire as a proud part of British history.

With respect to the comparison with France, consider that France has been a republic far longer than Britain has been without at least the trappings of an empire, and the empire had a sort of "soft landing" with a gradual loss of territories, and with most of the colonies retaining special relationships with Britain in the form of the Commonwealth, and with many of them retaining the Queen as their head of state.

It wasn't until 1981 that Britain lost its last colony (a few remaining overseas holdings remained as British Dependent Territories, now British Overseas Territories), and as recently as 1982, Britain defended one of its last vestiges of the Empire militarily (the Falklands War).

But at the same time, Britain had for decades by then pursued a policy of voluntary decolonisation on relatively friendly terms (with a few notable exceptions, like Kenya and Zimbabwe) - explicitly with the aim of trying to avoid situations like what France ran into with e.g. Algeria (or anything like Britains own drawn out conflict in India).

So really, a large proportion of the British adult population still at least has some vague memory of Britain still having an empire in their childhood or youth - albeit for most people their memory will be of one that had been in serious decline for a long time. Furthermore, most of them if they are aware of the decolonisation will have memories of a Britain that had abandoned any idea of holding on to its colonies with force and where decolonisation was largely orderly and reasonably "friendly" and where Britain in most cases where it did not happen peacefully could be reasonably construed as having acted properly (e.g. in Zimbabwe, it was the white minority local population, not Britain, that started the long running conflict)

If most adults in France could personally remember the last monarch, I suspect they royalists would still have more support there too. Similarly I expect the British Empire will fade rapidly as fewer people personally remembers it.
It's definitely an improvement over the melange of modules I was using but the lack of delta support is painful.
That may be so, but how many people do you think will care?
I met him around about this time - we were working on a variety of gigs in Cambridge, and ended up in a secret society house (don't ask me which, I honestly don't remember) at some point in a night out... someone might know - go in, up stairs, big withdrawing room with a pair of chesterfields perpendicular to a fireplace, wood panelling, that sort of thing.

Remember shooting the shit with him about this social network thing he was working on - he was wearing a dressing/smoking gown and drinking from a plastic bottle of vodka... down to earth guy, not above getting blotto with a couple of random brits - and I don't think at that stage even he expected it to go anywhere near as far as it has.

Not sure why I'm telling this tale, other than to illuminate that the guy's a human being, and an entertaining one at that.
Leaders who do unconstitutional things might be. If you trample on your citizens sufficiently, you might live to see the inside of the Hague.

But it would be completely ridiculous to imprison someone for passing a law. The process here did exactly what it's supposed to do. Politicians make a law. People are unhappy with said law and challenge it. People win in court. Law is no longer in force and the people get their redress.

Also, politicians might enact an unconstitutional law with popular support. And even if that doesn't happen, it is far from obvious what is constitutional and what is not. Should John McCain go to prison because of Citizens United? Should local politicians be incarcerated after the city lost McDonald v Chicago? That would be ridiculous.

Lastly it would mean punishing people for something that doesn't have an enumerated punishment. We don't do that in the modern world.

From my (admittedly brief) glance at the documentation, this seems like the opposite of direnv. direnv would allow you to set up configuration values on a per-directory basis, by adding a file in the directory in question. git supports this already, you can simply change the config for the repository in question. The goal of this package appears to automate this so that one doesn't need to reconfigure each individual folder.

Some excerpts from the article:

"There are many more capable people than the small number who get into the narrow spot-light of fame; and that is true in the intellectual world, in Hollywood, and in most other things ... how does a particular individual get the chance to be the one in the spot-light? The career of T. E. Lawrence tells how.

..It was not a case of who-you-know rather than what-you-know; that stupid cliché misses the key point that you have to know how to talk to important people, and that means having something important to say. Lawrence built his networks by leveraging the importance of what he could say to them. And vice-versa.

..One reason he became a charismatic leader was that he avoided energy-draining situations as much as possible. What remained was to find stimulating encounters that pumped up his energy ...Chatting at polite English dinner just underlined his own marginal position. Among the Arabs, chatting was energy-gaining; in English society, it was an energy-drainer.

..Lawrence was a good micro-observer of individuals. He carefully studied the Arab leaders and soldiers, discerning which way they were tending. A master of timing, he sensed the moment when they would move ... In violence, as in most situations of exerting power, emotional momentum is of the essence ... Charisma is mastery of the micro-interactional details."

WinRT and Windows RT are two separate things. WinRT is the runtime that Windows Store apps run on. Of course, you'd know that if you spent 15 seconds googling the answer instead of grasping for more things to complain about.
The author did mentioned "it's meant to complement it", I assume that is good: use if if you like it, ignore it if you don't.

I guess the opinion of "not worthwhile" doesn't constitute good or bad either for the Ardruino community.
For starters you have no source for the OS, kernel or mayor drivers.

I was born in Australia but have lived in the US on multiple occasions.

I agree with your points in general, and choose Australia even though I have the option of either. But Australia started from a different starting point to the US. Adopting Australian policies wouldn't get Australian outcomes because the starting points are so different.

That's not to say that, if I were a US citizen, I wouldn't want change, I would, especially around healthcare. Just the same as I would like Australia to change in some ways as well.
Ask HN: Measure USB Controller Data Throughput on Windows?
Hi HNers,

I'm trying to build a USB over IP setup for a laser controller (http://www.pangolin.com/flashback/flashback3.htm)

Assuming M$ is always evil is still a personal opinion, doesn't mean it's bad. Replace M$ with Google, Apple, Amazon or any other company doing the same thing, does it actually bring out any meaningful conclusion?

1m for 11GB sounds IO-bound, but yeah that's still not a use-case where switching to pypy will make a difference.

But did you try using it as a service (ie. avoid the startup time) and timing the actual translation?

At work, we switched to pypy for the speed. For a spell-checker I made in python, pypy made the dictionary compiling 3x faster and the spelling 2x faster, so it can really matter. On the other hand, pypy's memory usage is often a bit worse, and startup time can also be a bit slower, at least if your program has an otherwise "zero" startup time.

Intentionally violating the constitution is a violation of the privileges of office. If it can be proven, they should be forced out of office.

As for the "punishment", it should clearly correspond to the actual law having been passed, and in what manner it infringed on the constitutional rights of citizens.

Popular support does not make this any better, as minorities are usually the ones who end up hurt.
Actually, Google Play Services dynamically adds or updates new features on older OS versions too (Maps etc). So this is not an issue now.

Ask HN: USB Over IP – Odroid vs. Raspberry Pi?
Hi HNers,
We're trying to build a USB over IP setup for a laser controller (http://www.pangolin.com/flashback/flashback3.htm)

We would like to use Odroid for it's better hardware, but documentation for USB over IP on it is pretty slim - does anyone have experience setting USB over IP up on one?

And Software-wise: USBIP vs Virtualhere?
Not entirely true.

Some of the very large subreddits such as /games and /askscience have actually retained very high quality. They just require very strict rules and heavy moderation.

Just compare the frontpage of http://reddit.com/r/gaming with http://reddit.com/r/games — granted one is about twice as big as the other in terms of active users, but /gaming has been full of low-quality submissions since before it became a default subreddit.

It just comes down to having proper rules and enforcing them.

Now, reddit and 4chan are very different in the regard of perceived quality. If you heavily moderate a subreddit the low-quality submissions will for the most part only be viewed by those that browse the queue of new submissions.
This isn't really true with 4chan since the low-quality submissions that are buried will still be viewed by everyone (although this kind of depends on if you've configured the order of submissions).

As an interesting aside, you can actually significantly impact what submissions get buried in a subreddit with very few votes since there's not a lot of people that browse the new-queue.

Did you add the typescript definition file for node and reference it?

Download the node.d.ts file from the DefinitelyTyped repo https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped then add that file to the folder containing your node app.

Then in the file you are using the http object reference the .d.ts file by adding the following to the top of the file:

/// <reference path="node.d.ts" />

After that you should get intellisense in the file.
I'd take goatse spam, arguments about hitler being a decent enough chap, and FYAD flames in that sort of environment over twitter where the threats seem real, because most of those sending don't seem to be in on the fact it is all a big joke.
