But by closure I usually refer to the definition of some Lisp books:

  >> a closure is a collection of closed-over variables retained by a function.

I don't really dig deep for what the constructs would produce in memory, but they should be some lambda expression.

One thing is true for this product is that the pricing per MB of RAM is cheaper than those on market. However most of them have 1.2Ghz or so processor and a 3.5" bay instead of 2.5", I really need some benchmark to tell. You don't want portability and 24/7/365 uptime with the same device.

Comparing eggs here, the closest you can get for something like this, say QNAP's, would cost 149 for a 256MB 1.2Ghz SoC stuff with 1 bay.

What most of us here would wonder, is what OS could we load into the system with adequate driver support, or just some firmware like tomato (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato).

You are talking SoC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip) right? I think most NAS you get for retail users are made by some of those chips. Also true for small home routers.

I don't know, but, often get irriated by the usage of "closures" when it means "anonymous function/expression".

  > The term closure is often mistakenly used to mean anonymous function. This is probably because most languages implementing anonymous functions allow them to form closures and programmers are usually introduced to both concepts at the same time. An anonymous function can be seen as a function literal, while a closure is a function value. These are, however, distinct concepts. A closure retains a reference to the environment at the time it was created (for example, to the current value of a local variable in the enclosing scope) while a generic anonymous function need not do this.

So do you mean the project is incomplete in its current form so it needs works to be done to enable its full potential?

It's like me studying biology and finally didn't continue because there are just too many words to memorize.

For long times Chinese doesn't use much punctuation until like 20th century. May be that's why better marks are used instead.

They did invest quite some resources for that:

At least your post this time get upvoted.

We get to look into the source code to see what is really happening.

Most of the apps are iOS based (or at least what their screenshots suggested). The team should have called it iOS essential apps of 2011.

For those who didn't know the name change it was called Receivd (http://receivd.com).

Always wonder how a new user of hacker news get front page to h'm so easily. Seems to easy to game.

What was the program being used for designing the font?

Beside losing Buzz I don't see much stuff happening. Besides, Google Reader is losing notes as well.

Not mentioning even there is no security problem involved, we are talking mobile browsers here, if that doesn't actually make more traffic? Of course, instant search suggestion also does exactly that, so there is no big deal here.

I'd like to go plumb some code now.

Although there is no mentioning of any references, I have a clue that it is a response to "Don't call yourself a programmer" (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3170766)

That is pretty much the center of the debate: since that funding comes like an investment for research (think angel funds), shouldn't a greater of such return be given back as intellectual products?

I really don't know if the current return of those IP portfolios are enough to offset the money required to be poured in to the research community. Given that every government on the earth still need to subsidy many researches, it is pretty likely that the system are simply losing money.

We all know the incentive/motivation part of psychology, that if researchers get nothing in return (justifiable salaries or IP rights) they won't work as hard to solve the problems. The point of balance, given the current status of capitalism is really hard to redefine.

We always hear companies started by members from previously government/university funded projects. The public should be more informed for the process of how that company would pay back the researching funding the research projects have spent on, and the risk inferred for sponsoring any researches.

Sounds like VCs, but that's how it should go.

Me too. I can't resist on voting up every article on the front page.

So where is the cheat sheet for google search?

I am totally lost now.

I thought a much detailed explanation was found in another article that was posted to HN earlier this month [1].

The article referred to a 2008 blog post about that.

I have to agree that, there is no mistake when translation became a degree in many universities all over the world. It's not something that could be mastered simply by knowing two languages (even native speaker of both)

I think for the 代表 part of things, it applies to any places in Asia, almost. You can't pretty much get around anything if you don't have a local to sort things out for you. Either partner with one or hire some for this matter.

Analytic of every click on a site is by no means better than these, and many apps didn't specify such behavior in their Privacy statement.

I just feel sorry for the kids, that, they have to use a notebook or something to read is just painful. They should have limited the thing to e-ink(tm) tablets to make it easy on eyes that are vulnerable to myopia.

The best part is at the very bottom... if you think it's TL;DR, you could have missed a lot of points.

However the return of mining is hugely favored to the creator and the early adopters in a way that, if joined much later, there is little to no value in it.

So the early adopters could promote them and we can just wait and see. Since the rest of us won't earn much by promoting it, so just mine 1 or 2 BC (still takes some efforts given the massive amount of bot-nets out there) and speculate.

If you don't want sites like this to view your stuff, please also set the privacy setting for applications your friends use to a better one. Or else you would be next.

P.S. Since you connect to that application by yourself, that is pretty clear that they can read your friends list, your feed and post as you.

They just don't know the merits of two factor authentication. That's said, however, as both services allows users to "remember" the sessions for a lengthier period of time, it's still insecure to sign in two those services even with two-factor authentication.

Unless you don't use the same email account for password recovery, your email address is as important as it seems.

However many sites won't allow you to have a different email account just for password recovery, that is insecure, as people would then know where to go for.

What password systems are you using?
