"We were able to get recurse.com, which is short, pronounceable, and easy to spell."

And so many businesses end up with names because of this. I feel them on this. Everyone sitting around, throwing out their ideas for names, someone at their laptop checking domain registrations at the same time till something sticks.
Comcast claims that Netflix was sending traffic at such
high volumes as to intentionally congest the links
between different transit ISPs and Comcast, essentially
taking a page from Norton’s “peering playbook” and
forcing Comcast and its peers (i.e., the transit
providers, Cogent, Level 3, Tata, and others) to upgrade
capacity one-by-one, before sending traffic down a
different path, congesting that, and forcing an upgrade.

>Resolving the dispute: Paid peering (March 2014). Both sides of this argument are reasonable and plausible—this is a classic “peering dispute”

Both sides of this argument are reasonable and plausible?

Are you kidding me? If Netflix was intentionally shaping their traffic to disrupt Comcast, how is that not a denial of service attack? That sounds like a criminal accusation more than a bargaining position.

If Netflix actually was doing that, shouldn't comcast be sueing rather than asking for money for a peering arrangement?

also, and this is more to my own ignorance than it is to a counterpoint. I thought peering arrangements were things that happened between ISPs. Netflix is a customer of an ISP.
I recommend installing IPython 3 with pip, cloning the repository, and then running ./build.sh ihaskell. If that doesn't work, file an issue and I'll be happy to help figure out the installation woes. (Note that ihaskell install must be run for IPython to know about the kernel! Updating the documentation is the last bit before release... :) )
Of course Microsoft has now shown the DO value compatibility enough to implement Touch Events, and is even one of the most active members in the Touch Events community group working to improve Touch Events in the W3C.
Thanks for sharing the man page link. I am reading it now! :)
Religious objections were raised when they got around to naming a nuclear fast attack submarine after Corpus Christi. That's why SSN-705 was christened† the City of Corpus Christi, rather than just the Corpus Christi.

It's the tipping point - worldwide, comprehensive surveillance used not to defeat the "enemies of civilisation " but enforce copyright law.

The folks who set it up may sit back now and think, it's ok, we are still in charge, we won't let it get out of hand.

But as Bane says "Do you feel in charge?"
I've seen much more beautifully crafted books in Latex, compared to that.

Another (free-software) solution, embraced by people like Andrew Tanenbaum, is GNU Troff (http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/).
It's not 'disguised', it's abstracted.
launchFiber does what it's name implies: launchs a fiber.
How it is achieved 'internally', it's irrelevant as long the abstraction is not leaky.

Today launchFiber is calling the fn inside a Fiber(), tomorrow could be launching the fiber by means of a generator.

The idea was to create a very simple abstraction to avoid callback hell, adding low or no complexity, and keeping the flexibility to use all the existing async fns with a callback or just "wait" for the results.
It depends, some other possible explanations could be that the US justice system is that much more effective or that US inhabitants are that much more disobedient to the same laws than those of other countries. Not saying that's the case, just wouldn't be so quick to dismiss anything. US can indeed be said that are among the most free countries, but that doesn't really say anything without clarifying who we are comparing them with! My impression is that US is one of the least free countries by a relatively small margin when we compare them to most European countries and one of the most free ones, by a relatively large margin, if we consider the state of most African and Asian ones -but I think that if someone is even bothering to seriously make that last comparison, that alone is an indication that something is wrong in the US.
I just installed AC units at home that move around 2500 W of heat energy (in and out, heating and cooling), at about 800 W energy consumption.

If one of those units is enough for the bus, and it's on 30% of the time that would mean around 250 W per hour power requirement, resulting in 6 kWh over the day.

In a reasonably sunny environment, solar panels can get 100 W per square meter. Let's say there are around 15 sqm available on the roof, yielding a total of about 12 kWh over the day - that's assuming around 8 hours of sun. If that doesn't work out due to latitude, it would be relatively easy to design panels that can be unfolded, providing extra area and serving as an extensible roof at the same time.

If batteries and inverter don't swallow more than 50% of that yield, it should be enough to drive a normal AC, lighting, and a laptop, maybe even a small fridge. You'd need a backup stove for the winter though.

No?
It's too bad the US is too hard headed to adopt some of these practices.
In London, we regard them as nuclear weapons: “My neighbour’s got one, shit, we’d better get one”

The design has shifted into ordinary cars with higher driving positions which provide better visibility for drivers, but reduce it for those around them. In a congested city, it means we need to keep more space around ourselves for the same visibility, which means everyone needs to slow down, and so 20mph speed limits are popping up everywhere.

In the advanced riding course, we are taught that safe riding involves safety for EVERYONE on the road around you, not just self-preservation, which appears to be one major factor in the purchase of SUV-style cars.
You know, this [1] really ought to permanently put away the idea I think you're trying to reference, which is that only "event based" systems can be performant. There's plenty of "thread" or "process" based approaches that do quite well, including I believe the uppermost tier of every benchmark on that site. The idea that threads or processes are intrinsically slow was sheer unmitigated propaganda, and probably not only failed to contain a grain of truth, but are actively false. (Some thread implementations were slower than others, but that turns out to have been the implementations rather than the idea.) Event based systems inevitably have a lot of function calls in them, and that will probably in the end be slower than properly done threads or continuation-based approaches, always, because of that overhead.

I think there is always going to be a place for DSLRs. Now, thats probably not going to be a market as large as it is now. However, DSLRs are not going away. A large majority of consumers who buy entry level DLRs never really move away for the kit lens or maybe one or two cheap lenses. These consumers will more than likely move to the new EVIL systems. At the prosumer level you'll see it'll be like a coin flip between people who want a more compact system and don't need all the features that DSLR provides, and others who do.

However, at the professional level I don't see a demise of DSLR. There are certain types of work where, at least with current technologies, it doesn't make any sense. Sports photography you need high burst rates with fast accurate AF. Also large optics, this is more of a feeling, but I would rather be holding a large DSLR body attached to a 500mm super telephoto lens than the equivalent on smaller camera systems, this feeling also applies to large external flash units. Things just feel more sturdy in a larger camera system. Other issue I would have with moving to a mirrorless system is weather sealing, lack of ports like PC Sync and mic input, and flash sync speeds not as fast.
News: If you have root on modern Linux distro, you can edit the sudoers file.

Requesting a password would provide a false sense of security. The passwords are stored in an easily obtainable format. If you are leaving your laptop around untrusted people, you're going to have problems.

Trying to draw a line around the secure point (having a workstation totally unlocked) sounds incorrect.
Nginx has had a Nginx SE that was around $1300 per month per insurance for a while now. This seems to just be a rename. I'm not sure how this suddenly starts worrying you, but the open and closed bracket has existed for quite some time.
> So you're anti-government and cynical.

No, you don't get to label me that easily. (why do you want to?) I believe there is a differentiation to be made between good government and bad government. Security services CAN be made to work.

> And groan, good old Orwell makes a cliched showing. Yes, we all read 1984 in grade school.

I was responding to a specific statement of yours which was pretty spectacularly stupid. I'm not saying YOU are stupid, and I think maybe you can get a handle on why it's so creepy and classically Orwellian. Let's examine it:

> Something triggered on a molecule or taggant that they couldn't easily exclude, so they tried to help him assist them in excluding it. He couldn't, so they had to exhaust all avenues.

"They tried to help him assist them in excluding it." They tried to help him assist them. Are you getting it yet? They were just trying to help him! Against his will they detained him and tried to compel him to do something, but they were just trying to help. To help HIM! To help him ASSIST them, why wouldn't he want to assist them? It'd be awfully suspicious if he didn't want to assist them. Every good person likes to help and to assist, am I right?

They tried to force him to solve a problem that they created with their own machine and they weren't going to let him go about his business until he did it. For his own good. In what sense is your take on that - the wording, at least - not Orwellian?

> Pulling it out as a trope to anything the government does (even where entirely rational and related to an actual threat, and overwhelming painless and transparent) is boorish internet pundit behavior.

Since there wasn't an actual threat, and the process wasn't painless, and since I certainly wouldn't and haven't "pulled it out as a trope to anything the government does" it's hard to understand what the heck you're talking about.
Is that...TOR?
There is an inherent conflict with the idea that global top level domains (GTLDs) can be effectively managed without a matching global legal jurisdiction, which of course doesn't exist and won't exist anytime soon.

Using country code domains exclusively would have aligned the domain namespace with real-world legal jurisdictions and simplified or at least 'localized' these sorts of disputes.

In this alternate world you could still have domain mismanagement but it would exist in a scope that could be addressed within existing legal and political boundaries.

The existing situation with GTLDs, ICANN, and conflicting legal jurisdictions is a gordian knot.
Hmm, Google's core competence is search. As many commenters pointed out yesterday (in the big "Yahoo shutting down Delicious" thread), Delicious is more than a place where people store their bookmarks; it can be used as a kind of alternative search engine as well. So I think it wouldn't be a bad fit. Also, Google has been trying to get "social" right, and this could be a part of the puzzle.
The posts about Resig that I can see by Peter Michaux and David Mark seem to be mostly empty of content and filled with petty namecalling. Do you have any specific review/critique that you think is helpful?

For what it’s worth, Secrets of the JS Ninjas is one of the most illuminating JavaScript resources I’ve seen anywhere – I don’t know anyone who wasn’t able to learn something from reading it, including skilled, seasoned JS developers, and several of its insights can’t be found anywhere else so far as I know – and it’s at this point still a half-written draft.
Well, fund drives are annoying, whether they be for Wikipedia, NPR, or anything else. They are less annoying than ads, however, so I deal with them and don't complain. I just wish the banner would go away now that I've donated; instead, I still see the banner and have gotten an email asking me for more money.
Btw if the users are paying, predicting the outcomes of a match is definitely gambling (like gambling on horses), so simply look at the laws for online gambling. Since it's online, most likely only the laws of the state where you host are applied (even for foreign countries, that's how French could play on online casinos before). You might simply host that feature and a subsidiary for it in a state with online-gambling friendly laws. Maybe Nevada, maybe some states or countries have no laws at all on it and even no taxes.

If it's free I'd say it either fall in (free) lottery or contest, it's hard to tell. Either way your best approach is simply host it in a state with no laws at all on the matter. Or if you have a good way to justify it is neither lottery or contest you might as well be fine anywhere.

't'.

You're using Vimperator, right?
What about server side JavaScript? I guess there are no books yet?
Very very few of these arent applicable to all javascript engines, most are a by product of the language itself.

the only one that is specifically says "yes for ie"
Might be too late but I just forwarded this news item to some people in Google. Hopefully they can shake things up a bit.

Also, shoot me an e-mail (in the profile). I know a couple unemployed architects in the SF area that used to work in woodshops. They might be able to help out.
Wow! I wonder how this will work out, given the Model-T/faster-horse analogy.

I suspect the Hispanic towns in Washington are also driven by cost of living. As I understand it, they are located out in the middle of nowhere. But my knowledge dates from 1992, so this may no longer be true.
Cost/benefit doesn't work out in this use case:

- Less noise true, but peg a Mac Mini or MacBook Pro's hard drive to max and see if you can hear it from, oh, 5 feet away.

- This isn't a mobile device, so heat with regards to user comfort is not an issue. Until it presents a reliability problem, heat is a non-factor for a desktop.

- Smaller, and much more expensive per GB. Much more. Shaving another quarter inch off the enclosure also seems like a paltry gain for a much more expensive storage device.

- For a machine that reboots very rarely, this is moot. This is clearly meant as an always-on device (hence the low power usage to begin with) sucking down torrents all day or some such.

- It's a media-centric device. It will download stuff, listen to music, stream video... what kind of bandwidth does it need?

SSDs in a Mac Mini would be a Ferrari in a school zone - cool, and done purely for the sake of style, but let's not pretend that there are significant practical reasons for doing this.
IB will give you up to 1 second resolution (open, high, low, close) for most US equity names.

getting bid ask tick data is harder/more expensive to come by.
To clarify, I think a degree requirement is a bad thing, even if I have one.

Even if it isn't mandatory, since a person without a degree may not know what a specific degree implies.
What does labor arbitrage have to do with protectionism in favor of domestic firms? e.g., RenRen over Facebook or Baidu over Google

A simple web app that generates short links to Flickr Sets to automate the download of all the pictures with just one-click by anyone (even without a Yahoo account).

Got a lot of popularity with Flickr users to easily share album and download a backup of their pictures, it covers development and hosting costs with a bit to spare.

Stop calling privacy-conscious software "dark". You are hurting your cause.
Not really, there were no people crossing or waiting to cross... I went back to check and I missed it because it was a very wide road, there was a middle traffic light 'abovehead' which is how I missed it. I do actually agonise over these types of issues, and genuinely believe that at that moment I was not a danger to the public! Had it been a light at a junction it would have been much more dangerous, and also very difficult to miss. Also, having done some research afterwards, it appears that the Swindon police force were under a quota system so were actually targeting motorists, and therefore would exercise no discretion at all after seeing this occur.
A few predictions, mainly around Apple, mobile and wearables:

1. Apple Watch will be successful, although Wall Street will not perceive it as such, and sell over 20 million units. It will not sell in iPhone numbers and as a result will be initially dismissed as a failure by major news companies. It will be the catalyst required to launch the wearable market and sales of wearables by other companies will increase considerably.

2. As a result of a burgeoning wearables market, low to medium end mechanical Swiss watch companies and many lower-end quartz watch companies will see a small drop in sales. None will be in trouble yet. High end Swiss watch companies will have nothing to worry about and will likely continue to see increases in sales.

3. A number of Swiss watch companies will release their own wearables (Montblanc recently did this actually[1] but we'll see a lot more in 2015) - they will mostly be ignored due to lack of features, poor craftmanship, buggy software and high prices.

4. Android Wear will continue to develop rapidly however there will be fewer quality apps on the platform. Many Android Wear devices will not see daily use. Tim Cook will mention this on stage at WWDC later this year.

5. Fitness companies, such as Fitbit, will see a decline in sales but will not be in any significant trouble this year.

6. Apple will improve iCloud reliability significantly, restoring some developer trust but not all. Problems with app review will re-emerge as Apple struggles to define the boundaries for the use of new features in iOS 8 (and 9) and on the new Watch platform.

7. Companies will still continue to mainly launch on iOS first although there will be an increased need to be on both platforms (if not at launch but soon after). This is how it has been this year, I don't see any indication that the trend of iOS-first is going away.

8. Over the year, Google will increasingly control Android and the Play Store. It won't become as strict as the App Store next year however long term users of Android will express concern.

9. Profitability of mobile devices will continue to fall. Samsung's profits will decline in the face of competition from companies such as Xiaomi. Apple's global marketshare will either stay fairly level or increase slightly however their cut of the phone industry profits will continue to increase with them making considerably more money than all other players.

How do you mean? If your either turned left you should be stuck with that exact left and no amount of flatmapping should effect your stack, it simply does not kick in unless you added something like leftmap that swallows the exception
I'm not gonna say that that doesn't happen, but it's surely not the only thing that happens in places without an authority. People want to exchange goods, and they're typically willing to be clever in order to make that happen.

Already cryptocurrencies are implementing webs of trust to guard against this kind of thing (CirclesUBI). There are also things like MAD escrow (particl). And there's the old fashioned way, which is to get the community together and set up your own impromptu government.

I'm not saying that markets function well without readily available trust. But to say that they cease to exist in those contexts is surely taking it too far.
Hell yeah motherfucker. I'm at 90 days today. Never had an epiphany where I woke up in a gutter covered in vomit or anything—just figured that life is too short to spend bloated and incoherent. Also heard it gives you ass cancer.

Like the author my cravings are mostly gone now. It turns out that alcohol-free beer scratches the itch anyway. If you're having pizza + wings, then a 0% Heineken is just as refreshing; you don't necessarily need to be pissed to enjoy a meal like that.

I was worried about not having alcohol as a social lubricant, but that has been fine too. A lot of my behavior that I associated with a drunken state has actually turned out to be intrinsic to my character. I'm just as dumb and rude sober. I don't know how to feel about that, but it means there's still no brakes on the party train.
Imagine k8s but all the core features you need to run MMO-level apps are the equivalent of simple Unity Engine functions like Instantiate(gameObject). I want. Maybe I help create?
His own words: "I love the GPL and see it as a defining factor in the success of Linux"

So I very much doubt he would license it under BSD or similar.

Having said that, he has also stated that he is glad he stuck to GPLv2, as he is not a proponent of the TIVO clause, IIRC his words were something to the effect of 'I just want the code contributed back to the kernel'.
Most healthcare expenditure goes to paying wages; doctors and nurses' wages make up a very large proportion of insurance expenditures, and their respective associations have successfully restricted supply to drive up their wages. The AMA is doing a very good job of making doctor's salaries in the USA much higher than in most of the developed world.
This is reminding me of the time I changed an abbreviated word in my job title to its spelled out form and I got dozens of connections congratulating me on the new job.
The complete collapse of the financial markets would not have been good for anyone.

Why the perpetrators are not in jail is what on my opinion is the true betrayal of the common person.

I strongly believe the rise of the alt/far right is a direct byproduct of the complete disintegration of trust in the established political class.

All over the world atypical politicians rose in popularity, even when they weren’t populist right wingers.
Not meaningless from the perspective of tax receipts, right?
It feels like the author had a more fleshed out post in mind, but either decided it was running too long or got bored...

Or it could be that this post is just the beginning of his journey of learning & blogging about Rust. He did post another one 4 days later, albeit not yet touching on the topics you mention:
