Very easy to test your idea in Aurelia, Aurelia 2, Inferno, Preact, React, Svelte, and Vue 2.

* Save code in your own GitHub gists, public or private.

* Almost no backend. Backend is only for GitHub OAuth and centralised trace cache for performance.

* Bundler runs purely in browser.

* Built with Aurelia. Less than 10k LOC (js, html, scss) so far. https://github.com/dumberjs/dumber-gist

* Runs on a tiny DigitalOcean $5/mth box. With a CloudFlare free plan to cache static resources.

It's named Dumber Gist, as it runs on a new bundler called dumber https://dumber.js.org (a successor of aurelia-cli built-in bundler).
I think the main problem with it's leadership is that Microsoft lost it's innovative spirit. I think the main reason for that is that Ballmer is a business and marketing guy, and not a tech guy.
All the giants today are led by tech people and that's effect the entire culture of all the company.
As the parent of a sophomore history major, this is something that I think about a lot. However, my son has a deep, deep passion for history. Advising him to get a CS degree just for job purposes seemed stupid, and considering how much help he needed from his high school sister to get through his Python class last year.... Although I am happy that his liberal arts college requires everybody to take 2 CS classes, I am also mystified why non-CS majors take one python and one C++ class. Wouldn't continuing with Python make more sense?

However, if you are going to major in history, or English, or something like that you really do need to have a plan from freshman year about how you are going to turn it into a job when you graduate.
This story is Developing, Developing, Developing...
It was very much a tongue in cheek comment but either way not only its unlikely, Bill can actually do good things with his foundation. Taking Microsoft out of the pit its in would be very difficult
Overconfidence bias is very real.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overconfidence_effect

Try asking people to guess a bunch of #s with 90% confidence intervals and see how often they are wrong. (Examples: Population of the US, Circumference of the Earth...)

What does this mean for leadership?

The very thing we are looking for (confidence) undermines good decisions.

So how should less confidence people inspire? That's the tough question. Some of the best professors I've had (in terms of both research production and teaching quality) have been amongst the most humble. Corporate leaders - perhaps less so. Though when you do follow a leader with humility, the strength that they project comes from a deeper place.
Given the wording of the lead paragraph...

The FCC challenges...to create apps that empower consumers to monitor and protect Internet Openess

...I'd suggest a challenge to create apps that empower consumers to monitor and protect...spell check.

But hey, good to hear the FCC, that champion of digital liberty, juggernauting down the bastions of tyranny with a whopping $500 all-expenses-paid trip to DC to meet some midlevel FCC bureaucrat. The Interwebs are saved.
I usually detect my Pagans with a divining rod, I find it the much more applicable way. Similarly I detect Jews by throwing ham at people and judging their reaction, it becomes a little difficult with the Arab Israelis, but you can judge them by carrying around a selection of Halal non-Kosher products.

Note: This method isn't 100% accurate due to the lack of verified studies into the field of divination, and the fact that a large subset of people would hit you if you pelt them with seemingly random foods.
Perhaps someone more technologically inclined than I am can shed light on this but when a company like Apple hosts a marquee event like WWDC why can't they see how many people will be at the event, then deploy enough wifi routers to meet demand? Especially when Apple makes their own wifi routers. Across wifi a,b,g,and n there should be plenty of spectrum to go around. If a company can deploy 10,000 servers in one room, why can't they deploy 100 wifi routers?
Friend of mine did tests on this and found there is no significant performance difference in either direction. So dropping them is certainly worth it.

It's not clear to me where on the scale between photoshop and fully automated this is. Maybe you could elaborate? What is your workflow like?
Maybe this is a good place to ask a question that I've been pondering for a while: Why is Mesos based on the concept of resource offers? AFAIK this is backwards compared to other schedulers where you ask for resources and the schedule gives them to you (or not).
It would have graduated me with less than half of the ones I had, and significantly poorer ones--one learns very little in a 100-level but might open one's brain a bit better in the right 300-level and I pushed to be in the right courses. My university had a fantastic Honors College where I learned a ton I wouldn't have picked up elsewhere, too--I was the only CS student in my year of the program and the Honors College covered most of the gen-eds so quickly that I had enough time and credit space to take classes that were more interesting and more valuable. (None of them were in CS.) I didn't finish out at the Honors College, because the CS department wouldn't play ball as far as senior projects went and I didn't have the bandwidth to do two, but it's still my most treasured time at my university.

The courses that were considered part of the humanities, at least as far as STEM folks go, were pretty questionable in general, too. My university thought "technical writing" was a good course to be part of the English curriculum for STEM majors. But "good writing" wasn't, if you follow? Nor was any sort of philosophy, more than the barest rudiments of history (in a country where primary and secondary history education is little more than heroifying the names everyone knows)...it was a dire scene. (Of the liberal arts courses I found, and continue to find valuable, only microeconomics was a required course. Incredibly valuable, though--literally every person should be comfortable with the basics of microeconomics and macroeconomics, and if anybody posting here isn't, you should drop everything and get there. It's Understanding Humans 101.)

Even as I'm working with some people involved with the school to push for better technical literacy for non-STEM people--because that's important--I am pushing on the CS department to turn out functional humans as well. "We're tech people" cannot be an excuse for social, political, historical, and economical ignorance.
We ran an event about a month ago with a funny twist on elevator pitching in probably the oldest [1] one of these in the world in the Vienna's House of Industry:

Good fun, more time than your classic elevator pitch and no one got hurt :)

I don't know, the sport of it, rather than the engineering of it, is now more important.

Instead of the company with the most money, the driver skill is more important this round.
> > The first round was cross-domain JavaScript, stopped with an "alert()".

It does not mention that the alert() used the referrer.
Backend and frontend are different species and require different skillsets. It's much easier to scale from an organizational perspective using SPA's, especially in companies where software is not the core product (think non-tech Fortune 500).
Exactly zero packages upload Alpine-compatible wheels to PyPI.

The manylinux specification assumes glibc, so there is no valid distribution format which would allow the publication of non-glibc wheels.

However there is an in-progress PEP to support it: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0656/
> 100% of the payment will go to the creator ... Clubhouse will take nothing.

Well imagine if they had an Android app in the first place or earlier right before all the big players started copying them, then it would have been attractive to the users. Right now, what is the point if the invite system is still there.

Another platform can just announce the same thing and they are back to square zero.

> We are excited to see how people use it, and to continue working hard to help the amazing members of the Clubhouse community grow and thrive.

Yet, with no Android app and an increasing amount of competitors copying the hell out of Clubhouse, I can only see this going in the way of Meerkat, Yik Yak and Periscope. (By being shut down)
On Safari, I'm getting all the files mashed together.
This sounds nice in theory, and, sure, it will solve the situation with a driver having a dog allergy.

But what about a more common and realistic scenario, where the driver doesn't have the allergy, but the next Uber passenger does (the one who gets into the car after the passenger with a dog leaves)? Do you propose to perform full sterilization of the vehicle after every passenger with a dog (and I mean an actual full sterilization, not just wiping the seats clean)? Because otherwise, the dog dander particles will still be present in the vehicle in some capacity, thus causing an allergic reaction in the next passenger who has allergies.
I'm an Elixir developer, and I love the language, but I'm not sold on Phoenix LiveView. It sounds really cool, but it seems like there are too many edge cases. How do you scale it horizontally? What happens to user state when a connection is dropped? What do you do when you get a business requirement that hits one of LiveView's pain points? What if you have to swap out your backend for business reasons, and now you have to rewrite your frontend, too? I'm not trying to talk anyone out of LiveView; these are just the thoughts that prevent me from getting excited about it.
I use the word “should” as per RFC 2119, i.e. recommended (as opposed to “must” = required).

Though the IRS does limit the types of businesses that can do cash-basis accounting, it would be businesses without inventory, and who does not offer credit to their customers, e.g. a hairdresser would probably use cash-basis accounting, but more complicated businesses would not, certainly not a business that needs its own billing system :)
Even if one of these military projects were converted into machines that would shoot food or seeds into peoples backyards instead of bombs, we might have real chance.. here's hoping to somebody having some sense in the future.
In my opinion the artificial bubble is more the SV-type salaries.

Compare developers salaries with similarly educated/skilled engineers in other disciplines (mechanical, electrical, aerospace, civil…), you'll see that SV developers are the outlier.

The reality is that on the global market you can get a good mid-level dev from a first-world country for half that price. And it's not artificial, it's just the market at play.

By that i mean if law x is changed to say "blah blah blah" that means that law Y no longer applies and law Z is changed to say "foo bar bobbins"
Err, no, the maximum fare on the Tokyo Metro is Y310 (~US$2.5). Y1000 is enough for a trip of up to 60km one-way on JR, or even longer on cheaper private railways. Of course, in Tokyo there are people who commute that far, but that's definitely at the expensive side of the spectrum.
If you put it like that every EC2 performance metric is ambiguous when not using dedicated instances.
It goes on each article on Legifrance, creates a JSON file with all the articles, which book/section they belong to, and for each article, tracks it's versions (they are dates). The crawler is in Go.

Then there is a python script that takes that JSON file, creates the .md files and runs the git commands in the shell.

Ultimately the sad thing is that I had to scrape this information. There were lots of pitfalls due to bad formatting and so on... Well, scraping.
TIL. That one concept if carried through the movies changes a lot.
Well, you wouldn't happen to have a comparable picture of the droid at hand?
Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Clever marketing. If you're wondering why people care so much, it's the MARKETING! I bet if I asked 10 non-geeks what a Nexus One was, at least half would have no idea what I'm talking about.

The Taliban are a dangerous element, they always have been, but they were created largely by the US.

You often get such radicalized elements is because of aggressive external pressure. Just as the Taliban was a response to the USSR, you have numerous Palestinian groups who are just as adamant.
Start advertising yourself as a consultant, get some business cards, go to conferences, reach out to people you've worked with in the past, network! If all else fails, there are always craigslist gigs.

I would avoid consulting firms, as in my experience employees of consulting firms generally get the shaft. Especially if you're new to the game and don't realize that clients are paying the firm 250$/hr for your time while they turn around and pay you 40$/hr. You are much better off as a freelancer if you want to get a decent hourly rate.
iPad is partially marketed as a reading device, so larger resolutions are warranted. And doubling the resolution is quite clever trick as it makes scaling legacy apps much, much easier
Dude. If you don't have some down-time regularly, you're going to wake up at 30 feeling like you're 70.

As for wasting time? Look at the 80 hours per week you're wasting at a job you hate (counting wake-up, prep, commute, and winding-down) rather than the 30-35 or so waking hours you're spending on weekend recreation. Take a plunge. Change your life.
> I want to be rich. Filthy rich, even.

In my experience (been there, done that, worn the shirt) this is a bad aim to have (even if it is honest) because it ends up with you fantasizing about future wealth while you fritter away Friday nights :)
Yeah, actually one third ends up in China.
The best one is on HN.
If you have a good pre-existing network of contacts (or have a modicum of networking skills/are willing to do a bit of legwork) I’ve found there’s a constant demand for “low-end” sysadmin/devops work for small businesses - usually they just need someone to be on call in case their AWS/virtual hosting/or Shopify what have you go down. You could probably gather about a half dozen or so of those contracts, set up some alerts, and spend no more than a few hours a week on average of work and pull in enough to cover all your bills.

Like others, I’d recommend looking into FIRE principles at least, particularly the idea of Safe Withdrawal Rate - basically every $25-30 you have invested = $1/yr you can spend for the rest of your life.
PewDiePie is a Swedish YouTube comedian apparently, in case anyone else found that reference obscure.
ADHD can be indirectly very life threatening. Untreated, it can affect every single aspect of a person's life. Even just society being a bit more forgiving of ADHD can improve that situation greatly. We really need to have a class of mental handicaps that are every bit as protected as physical handicaps. A sort of "mental ADA". This would obviously not include self-assessment simply because that would be too easy to game. But, for example, I was formally diagnosed with ADD/ADHD at the age of 8. Others in similar situations should absolutely be given affordances that others who don't need them don't get, because those affordances could actually be harmful to those who don't need them (similar to how stimulant medication is like speed to "neurotypical" people, yet it slows down those with ADHD). However, in the drive for "fairness", some insist that means treating everybody identically, in a "one size fits all" mentality, which disadvantages everyone who isn't neurotypical.
Penguins are alien, we think of them as living in the last places untouched by civilisation. They feel like the opposite of a domestic animal.
As easy as it is to admire intelligence it's really motivation which is key, which is the admirable thing about people. VN could have accomplished far more if he'd been less concerned with prestige, academies, spy stuff, and so on. If he'd opted to isolate himself a bit more. Like his colleague Godel, or like Grothendieck.

Then there would have been many more theorems bearing his name:

How did you get the idea?

Did you validate it, or just build it?
I just can't imagine them needing this type of vehicle anytime soon. The first car on the moon was unpressurized because the only real benefit to pressurizing the vehicle is if the astronauts don't need to be wearing pressurized suits inside. That would either mean that there are car sized airlocks to travel between or that the astronauts will be traveling long enough distances in the car that it provides a real comfort benefit for them to take off some of their suits. Neither of those is likely to happen on the first trips to Mars.

Even then, this truck doesn't appear particularly light compared to your average vehicle. It also has a ton of added weight from things that would be wasted on Mars like huge acceleration, unnecessary top speed, and the ability to withstand vehicular accidents that would never occur on Mars. Maybe Tesla tries to preserve the look of this car for whatever they may or may not eventually put on Mars, but I doubt it is going to be close to being this car.
> even though the judiciary is meant to be a check on the power of the executive.

Yeah, that hasn't really been working out for us.
Cool! How did you get the inspiration to build it?
From the Tesla website: "Prepare for every experience with a versatile utilitarian design — including on-board power and compressed air." squee!
I think one of the main problems for no www. domains is that even though some dns systems let you assign the root record to a CNAME is that it breaks MX records if you do so.
These are good tips; I'd add that it's quite important to reduce the amount of refined sugar you consume during the day (and particularly late in the day).

I've read about this, but also noticed a pretty strong effect personally... when I eat any significant amount of sugar late in the day, it's noticeably less pleasant to get up the next morning (like a kind of mini-hangover).

Going to sleep isn't ever a problem (unfortunately, this is at least partly because I'm normally relatively sleep-deprived...) but of course sending your blood sugar spiking up (and plummeting down) all day is likely to make it harder to settle down at bedtime for most people.

Edit: forgot to add -- I'm interested to notice disagreements with the "no reading" rule. In my personal experience, this is an iron-clad rule. If I read "before" bed, even if the material is fairly dry, my brain kicks into gear, and all sleepiness disappears unless I'm seriously deprived at the time. And I don't generally have much sense of time passing when I'm absorbed, so I've had many experiences of slowly realizing that the room's appearance has changed (and there are new noises) because the sun is up, and the birds are going nuts outside my window. And the 2-hour drive I have to make that day (or whatever it may be) is going to be painful.
In "Programming Collective Intelligence" there are other examples if someone is interested.

Well, double NAT is here and some pain with it ...
This meme "execution is everything; ideas are useless" is rampant here. I also believe it's a bad frame of mind. There is little distinction between an idea and a vision. A vision is just a fully fleshed-out idea; a collection of ideas: some inspirational, but many technical, economic or sociological.

I understand why the meme gained traction: too many people put everything into just one inspirational idea and never put enough effort into the execution of this idea -- the community wants to distinguish themselves as superior to these people so we attempt to tell them off and posture about execution in order to prove to everybody else here that we 'get things done'. But is talking about it really the way of proving that? Are we taking this concept too far merely because we want acceptance in the community?

All you need is to have a good idea, some supporting ideas about how to turn it into a business and to put a lot of effort into its execution. The rest of the article about a vision went into what was needed but not having ideas is not the way of going about this. You want to have some disruptive ideas as part of your execution.
If they are not using a transparent proxy to pick up the HTTP traffic then using OpenDNS or Google's public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) will help.

If they are going as far as inspecting http traffic (and selectively editing/blocking some of it) with a transparently proxy rather than redirecting selected domains via DNS poisoning then your only way around this is some sort of VPN which of course requires a host elsewhere for the VPN server to run on (unless you use something like Tor, but that is very slow and may cause the same "many people from a small set of IP addresses" problem itself anyway due to the relatively limited number of exit nodes).
I used my very first paycheck from my very first job as a teen to get my own phone line set up in my room. Mostly so I could use the internet (dial-up at the time) without tying up the phone line, but also so I could avoid my siblings snooping on my calls.

It also worked out because my parents could just call me when it was time for dinner.
Why were Trump's supporters protesting?

Why did they shove police officers and tear down barricades, break windows and smash doors?

Why did they illegally enter government buildings?

The answer to all of these is a mistaken belief that the election was not legitimate, due to President Trump's claims without evidence that there was widespread fraud. Their actions were made believing that the election was being stolen. Their actions were justified by that belief. You cannot reinforce the reasons why they are there with any genuine belief that it will inspire peace and retreat!
Good feedback, will put together a "wtf is it doing" page.

I'm familiar with the "pilot induced oscillations" from a first hand basis, scared the crap out of me. The desired scaling quality is quick ramp ups and then gradual, minute based ramp downs. This is to handle a sudden influx of traffic to the site. We don't just peg your dynos anytime something comes in. And the free accounts are set at 3 max, so don't worry about it blowing up your bill.

Dynos are ramped up fast as a response to incoming traffic and average wait times per request. I'm still refining this algorithm so feedback during beta would be awesome.

The algorithms for workers are slightly different than dynos since they feed of different info. The answer to your question is yes, it will scale down to zero if you have nothing in the queue. You can override this by setting server min and max thresholds for workers.

Drop us a line at contact AT heroscale DOT com and happy to talk more.

I'm curious how competing currencies would work in practice. Are businesses required to accept any currency? Can anyone create their own currency? How do you regulate private currencies?
The new SEC rules that just went into effect should allow this right?
