I've seen a few of the really impressive projects you've done over the past several years. How do you manage to stay so productive in your spare time?
Yup. If it wasn't clear, my comment above was a joke :-P
Hell.com was in a league of its own in this genre. Those were the days. It's fittingly tragic that it's now reduced to a landing page of ads.
I'd enable ads - if I expected them to contain truthful and unbiased information that was useful and relevant to me.

Which really goes to the crux of the problem, I think.

(The useful and relevant part would probably require cutting the rate of ads drastically. The truthful and unbiased part... I have no idea. Incentives and enforcement are hard.)
What you describe would wipe out all life on earth. It would require much less to wipe out all human life. Not that I think Mars is the best possible alternative (I'm more interested from a scientific and exploration standpoint in exploring Europa or Enceladus), but it is reasonably accessible, unless we come up with better ideas for how to colonize Venus.
The article is saying not to mess with the "religious" tradition of i/j/k, which means that the author actually things that ii/jj/kk are better. I don't think it's hard to follow, really, unless maybe if English isn't your first language.

When you need to prevent quick grepping in Java, you can also take advantage of the fact that unicode escapes can occur everywhere in a java file, not only within quotes. So you can declare an int by writing “\u0069\u006e\u0074 \u0069 = 1;” (equivalent to “int i = 1;”)
They got trillions worth of defense for free by hacking the US also.

You can't blame them at all for doing that though, if someone or another country has some technology or information that the US wants and can't access then I'm sure we would employ similar (or much more devastating) techniques to acquire it.
> EDIT: I'm guessing that the next wave of ad-configuration is going to ask content owners to proxy their content through the ad network, so that ad networks act like a CDN and inject ads as a wrapper around content.

Funny. I was thinking about this when I read the article since it seems like the next obvious step to make. Contrary to what seems to be the consensus here, advertising isn't going to go away (for better or worse), but the means of distributing those ads will likely change. And, realistically, I think pushing the advertising to the content providers themselves might not be so bad after all--they'd have to take a bit more responsibility for the advertisements they push. On the other hand, dishonest content providers could circumvent ad impressions/clicks, and it becomes a different classification of problems to resolve since you now have (by nature) a MITM-type problem to resolve between your ad network and the end user to keep both honest. (Although I like your idea of proxying; you could pass the appropriate cookies and data back and forth to the ad network.)

Of course, such content would still be blockable with a little bit more work (content heuristics in the worst case, dumb HTML parsing in the best case in the event the content provider names the container something obvious) on a per-site basis and the problem comes full circle.

I agree with the other sentiments here that there's too much money wrapped up in all this nonsense and too much on the line for many of these companies. Simply hating something and wishing it to go away isn't going to make that happen. However, a reasonable compromise wouldn't be all that bad, and we might be in a good position to influence the decisions that will inevitably lead to future incantations of advertising technology.
Postgres pushes past MySQL in developer hearts
> In turn, that makes it feel odd that the prevailing opinion in these parts is often that the police enforce things too harshly, but the cure for every economic and social ill is always more Government micro-managing...

Show a principle that is broader than introducing new micro-regulations but would result in better outcomes. Considering the complexity of our reality, I doubt it's possible. Edge cases, functional requirements of life are numerous, and sure, there are a lot of old policies on the books, simply removing them would also cause too much perturbations. And no one cares enough about abstract efficiency, elegance and such to propose and fight for a plant to gradually deprecate them. (Minor examples are various tax exemptions, major example is the whole social security problem looming on the horizon. And the whole problem of healthcare economics fits here. People are rational, but have nasty time-dependent preference inversions, just to point out a problem with going with a simple and general solution.)

And this not too surprisingly has nothing to do with too harsh enforcement of some laws. (You just guessed the war on drugs. And general over-militarization of the police and the hostility of the criminal justice system.)
I meant to make my own comments about it, but HN was not allowing text for some reason.

My cousin called me a few months back and said she was trying to basically stalk a celebrity while in NY. She was demanding that I make an app to do that.

I LOL'ed. Then I got to thinking about software that uses crowds to do cool things (like Kickstarter, reddit users searching for the Boston Marathon bomber, etc). So I decided to build it.

4 months later, #spotted was born. I'm still kinda rolling my eyes a bit embarrassed that I used precious time to build this thing.

When a person is spotted, all of their twitter followers (that use the #spotted app) get a push notification. Hopefully something positive comes out of it after all.

Yosemite feels slower. I rarely encountered the loading spinner, after upgrade i see every day more then once. Its very frustrating to work.

Wow, it sure was. Did anyone expose what it was actually all about, since it claimed to have a membership site or something?

Boring is a very subjective word. Maybe coincidentally the people I met were boring to me. My point is, being good at oral English does not necessarily make one a thoughtful and interesting person. Several of the materials they performed were not that good in terms of content itself. And whenever the results are related to college entrance exam, I cannot help but questioning the purpose of some people who took the competition. That said, I agree there are also true and excellent speakers and thinkers among them. If this competition can serve as a catalyst for ordinary people in China to learn English, especially people from small cities, then it's great.

On a related note, I asked Rackspace what it would take to transfer my VPS image in the event I sold my company. They told me that transferring an image to another customer was not possible. This was about 3 years ago. Are any other VPS providers more friendly about transferring disk images between accounts?
The 8x improvement is somewhat misleading as it is based on a single TPC-H query. The other queries from the benchmark seem to show a ~3x improvement: http://vitessedata.com/technology

Given that their query engine uses an LLVM JIT compared to the standard PostgreSQL interpreter, these results are very reasonable. This is similar to comparing an interpreter vs a JIT for a programming language.

Even with the best intentions, benchmarking a database is notoriously difficult. I work on Presto, a distributed analytic SQL database, and we are often asked how it compares to other systems, or how it will perform for a given workload. The answer is always "try it and see", both because how it performs for your configuration and workload is the only thing that matters, and because there are so many variables that factor into the result.
> I love Haskell and spend a lot of time learning it, but I've gotten by just fine without his resources.

An author/creators personal qualities does not detract from their work. For example, Orson Scott Card, the author of Ender's Game has some pretty homophobic and bigoted views. However, that does not take away from the fact that his books are enjoyable.
In my mind PostgreSQL has always been cool. I have never been one of those developers who choose the most popular option, I have been fighting hard on every project I get to have a say in database choice for years now to use PostgreSQL. I don't think it was ever not cool, a lack of mentions on social media and inclusions on LinkedIn isn't an adequate representation of popularity. I think PostgreSQL is one of those things that I would call a best kept secret, everyone knows it is superior to MySQL.

The article does make a few good points, but it seems to be largely speculative and lacking substance. If PostgreSQL is seeing an uptake, that's great because if any database solution out there deserves it, it is PostgreSQL. I love the JSON feature, but not only that being able to work with geospatial and location data out-of-the-box.
This is a weird one. Using i,j,k for loop values is fine, especially tight inner loops. I can't see that ii,jj,kk adds anything. And I don't see much point in using verbose names like innerLoopIterator or arrayIdx or whatnot for these type of variables either.

Actually later on in rule 20 he implies (with negative logic of course) that i is actually a good inner loop variable name. So that's an inconsistency right there.

Seriously, you'd pick a planet undergoing a mass dying rather than one with all the support you need to live independently? Make a cot in a firestorm?

And sure if you wanna assume the same tech as that used by us in Antarctica right now and somehow make an equivalence between that and a hypothetical self sufficient colony and all of the attendant tech.

I see lots of obvious upsides, as stated before. It's quite clear that there's massive upsides to sending people to Mars and working towards a self sufficient colony there. Namely, redundancy of civilization and the obvious economic and tech impact. Of course you should pursue this colony.
Since you started the "not-a-dell" thread, I'll chime in. I picked up a Toshiba Dynabook KIRA V63, which is very similar to the Dell XPS 13 in specs. I'm quite happy with it. It doesn't seem to have the problems described for the XPS and I haven't needed a custom kernel. When it first came out the track pad was virtually unusable, but a kernel update a month or so ago seems to have fixed it.

Anyway, this is a Japanese model, so I'm not sure if/when it will be available in other places in the world. More generally, the Broadwell 5500 i5 is an amazing processor. It is very low power and is surprisingly fast. I thought I would be making tradeoffs for power/battery life, but not so. I have been using this as my main dev box since March (granted, I'm doing web development, so my compile chain is rather forgiving ;-) ).

I don't get anywhere near the rated battery life, but I can easily hit 6-7 hours of real work time (including wifi) without having to plug in. Since I am often working in strange places this is huge for me.

Anyway, the company I'm working for at the moment has a Dell contract and I've been encouraging them to look at the XPS 13 for remote people.
I usually see this in the context of movies and TV, not web stuff. How would you do native advertising in a web article? As for native advertising in tv/movies, we've had that already for years if not decades; if that were going to be 'the answer' it would already be the answer.
Python: put everything in a list, then insert it into itself on multiple positions. Then go nuts using slice syntax. Occasionally use hex or octal numbers.
I didn't explain myself clearly: if China had a comparable GDP per capita as Japan, its GDP would be 3.5x bigger than that of US. But currently China GDP per capita is 10x smaller than that of Japan ($3600 vs $37500). $130B times ten would bring China defense budget to a staggering $1300B.

$1300B is quite a bit more than $600B, but indeed not 3.5x more. Two factors are at play: US defense budget is larger in scope than that of China (for instance, if I remember correctly, most rocketry stuff fall under defense budget in US, but not in China), and China just doesn't spend as much (as a percentage of GDP) as US for its defense.

Again, China has a very very long way to go.
Firefox already has market share and momentum; a fork won't hurt it that much unless it gives a lot of improvements.

"Firefox with ads" lets one turn off the ads. The control offered is the same when you're allowed to download a fork. I don't see why a fork would hurt Fx so much if it just turns a feature off by default -- a feature that Firefox lets you turn off anyway.
I find it hard to believe that someone could live off $12k. Then again I live in Australia where cost of living on the whole is fairly expensive. But given rent is a big component of cost of living I'd hazard a guess that this will vary quite significantly in different parts of the USA. Furthermore I'm sure there are many different ways to define the poverty line. Even if the basic cost of living is met, there are additional costs that one may have to bear before gaining employment, including education, appropriate clothing, transport and the additional costs of accommodation close to employment.

The argument for a basic income is that one should be able to live comfortably and not just cover bare essentials. This means that people shouldn't be living at the poverty line but well over it. This shouldn't be a disincentive to work because most people need to live their lives around some kind of structured activity. Though it does mean that if there is a shortage of jobs then the unemployed won't be left to rot and the option exists to do some meaningful volunteer work.
Fighting Pollution from Microbeads Used in Soaps and Creams
What Xixi says is that when China's GDP per capita matches that of Japan, it's economy will be 3.5x as big as US's. A similar percentage in budget for defence as that of US would then mean 3.5 x 600B. Nothing to do with China's current GDP or her current defence budget.
The Great Fintech Rebundling
The term "useful Arts" is not about "art" as we use the term today. To my understanding, that phrase was specifically about practical skills in the language of the day this was written. It is not "my" restriction.

And again, I would rather have "lacking" artistic offerings in exchange for more sane copyright laws. Besides, there's a certain passion that comes through underdog artists that isn't there in most larger commercial offerings.

Into<String> is "out of your way" compared to having a String parameter in Rust. (Thus the person writing the code is expressly asking for the interface to allow implicit copying.) It is not being compared to C++ overloading. (The point is, this is more "out of your way" than you have to go in C++, where using an unoverloaded argument type of std::string will get you copying with opportunistic moving, and where a const std::string& will get you copying somewhere on the inside of the function. Thus Rust protects you from accidental expensive copies.)

It's important to use this sparingly. When grepping is obviously broken, the adversary will adapt, most likely by writing a script to rewrite the Unicode, then it's back to business as usual.

On the other hand, if grep has a 95% success rate, the adversary may well never notice, and build his or her mental model of the program on flawed understanding. That's when the real fun begins.

It's been a while since I did much perl, but FWIW I seem to recall doing (undef, my $foo) = do_stuff(). Perhaps modern perls have tightened up allowing undef as the target of an assignment.
The example reads a bit like "make for people who don't understand the syntax of make". I would stick with make.

How hard is it to translate something written for "pyparsing" to Nom? The approach seems reasonably similar, but are there limitations in Nom that aren't in "pyparsing"?
I've found Rackspace to be super unhelpful the moment you make a request that isn't either in their interests (e.g. "can we have another server and pay you more please") or falls outside of what they would normally do. Other VPS providers I've used since have been infinitely more flexible and helpful, including transferring disk images.
Thanks for the kind words Justin, they are the hugest approval of my work so far. :) Not getting this in uni where everybody is about matrices and stuff.

Have you tried using HHVM instead of PHP-FPM? Although you are definitely having a fast site, HHVM could potentially double the numbers.

Yes, one slow DB query can ruin all the fun. That's why using Redis for in-memory DB caching can help. In some cases, it might be more optimal than using full page caching because DB caching works for logged in users too while page caching has to be bypassed.

Using JavaScript for better performance helps too, I like how you optimized that menu. I've noticed that profiling the code with, for example xhprof, can be really useful during development. Found myself doing some slow code/queries, ran the profiler and immediately discovered the bad parts. It's quite easy and straightforward to fix them if you know where they are.

----

They probably meant that APC, which was a separate PHP caching module back then, is dead. However, caching is now part of PHP and as far as I can remember, it is using the same API as APC was, so basically it still lives and W3TC supports it.
Standard Haskell has only single parameter type classes. With MultiParamTypeClasses you can define

class Into a b where
into :: a -> b

Note that From would be the exact same class. I guess the distinction in Rust is relevant because of ownership.
