I can attest to the fact that setting up a Clojure/Emacs/Slime/Leiningen environment

I can't. apt-get install emacs slime sbcl. emacs. M-x slime. Hack away.
I disagree completely. New users should follow the tutorial. Eventually, to use Emacs as Emacs, you are going to have to understand its model and its terminology. Pretending that doesn't exist until you have learned how to use Emacs as a very bloated Notepad clone will leave you thinking that Emacs is a very bloated Notepad clone.

I learned Emacs when I was in middle school. If I could figure it out then, from the interactive docs, any adult should be able to figure it out. If they don't want to, though, that's a whole other issue entirely, and is not something software can solve. Emacs is different. Learn it or don't.

Now, once you understand Emacs, then sure, use Viper. It's a great tool. But if you don't understand Emacs, then Viper is just going to make you mad. (No experienced Emacs user would use the CUA keybindings, though.)
WP doesn't (officially) want to decide what's "worthy" and "unworthy" of inclusion. Instead, it has rules about what's feasible to include, if the encyclopedia is to be reliable. It is infeasible to include subjects for which there are no reliable secondary sources that unfamiliar reader could use to verify the content in the encyclopedia.

This is why it's OK for WP to have extensive coverage of Pokemon characters (extensive secondary sourcing), and not OK for WP to have coverage about an up-and-coming local band.
Ha. Try a professional project named "Kate".
Indeed. Typing in the actual program text is both the least important task and the most important task. The program text is not what solves your problem, but without the program text, you don't have something you can actually run.

Spending less time dealing with the program text is a great way to be able to spend more time thinking or tinkering. A good text editor facilitates this.

(And of course, Emacs is more than an editor.)
No it's just bad English and lazy. When I publish something that I write in German and expect people to read it, I go through the trouble of running it through a German language spellchecker. Doing otherwise is lazy and rude to your audience.
a. make sure you are logged into Twitter.

b. search for [vevo]. http://twitter.com/#search?q=vevo

c. second Top Tweet as of 16:10 PST is a protected tweet: http://twitter.com/gagadaily/status/15721434645

This demonstrates a case where random user can view the content of a Protected Tweet.

In this case it seems the Retweet is making something private into something public.
Agreed. Most of the hand-wringing I see against overengineering is just people trying to justify bad programming practices.
Quoting the lead here:

"This is going be a bullet FAQ on starting a business. No joke. If you’re a lawyer, feel free to disagree with me, so you can charge someone your BS fees to give the same advice. If you can think of anything to add, please do so. I might be missing things. If you want to argue with me, feel free. I might be wrong on any of the items below."

Yes, it was quite a bit of effort. And I hope that effort will go towards people getting more mileage out of this list and fixing some of the most terrible advice in there which was definitely not marked as a joke.

I disagree with his last point. There was once a time when I was obsessive about not copying pasting code. Over time I eventually learned that sometimes it better to just copy+paste a code snippet a few places than being dogmatic by making sure that nothing is ever duplicated. My rul of thumb is that if there is branching then don't copy, if there is no branching, then you can copy+paste it.

This snippet should only live in one place:

if (something) {
for (blah blah) {
something_else();
}
do_something();
}

on the other hand, this code can be copy+pasted as much as you like:

do_something();
do_another_thing();
another_call();

some dogmatic programmers will want to place those last three lines of code into a separate function and instead copy+paste that. But I've found that doing that sometimes makes the code more harder to read.

I don't see any change in the title. Looks like your edit wasn't submitted to the server.
I'm sorry you were downvoted. However, at the end of the bug information there's a link to Mozilla's official documentation on WebSockets:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/WebSockets

There is a large, clear warning at the top:

"Warning: Among other things, a key reason WebSockets is currently disabled by default is the discovery of a security issue in the protocol's design. Using WebSockets in a production environment is not recommended at this time."

Mozilla's warning is based on the research report by Google into the WebSocket protocol. Here is the thread that started this off:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/hybi/current/msg04744.h...

"The Upgrade-based handshake is vulnerable to attack in network
configurations involving transparent (or intercepting) proxies. The
core issue is that some number of transparent proxies do not
understand the HTTP Upgrade mechanism and therefore don't understand
that the remaining bytes sent by the attacker on the socket are not
HTTP."

Thank you for pointing this out!
Better ? Thanks for pointing it BTW
There was something recently about cellphones operating close to the brain raising the utilization of glucose in the brain. ie, raising activity.

I wondered if strapping an iPhone to your forehead would give you a small ritalin-like boost in your frontal lobes.
The only thing I can think of is that with a flat or lowering stock price, employee options aren't going to be as attractive as they were which means that it will be more difficult to attract and retain the best staff.

Why does the site use a JS content slider for it's main message? 'Read more' isn't clickable and it's not that obvious way over on the right.

They did. The purchase was of Colt Holdings which is the parent of both Colt USA and Colt Canada.
He's never been to one because it's a well-known scam, I would guess? They have no idea what "evidence-based" entails, and rely on the fact that neither do their clients ("Well, I went to a chiropractor and then felt no pain, so it works.").
This is something I have in mind for the future as well, although it’s a little ways off financially. I wonder if there are organizations that coordinate these sorts of things, aiming for contiguous areas for example.
I also think that it is possible that the model learned that information from too small of a data sample. What is a good data sample for every such feature in a relatively balanced manner is really difficult to build a dataset from.

Consider a sample size of 10/1million with height value of 7m. And somehow 7/10 had poor ability to repay loans. With such a small sample size of this relevant factor be a good thing to rely on?
I have been trying to find this, thank you!
> But you're missing the point about "automatic conversion": the USD has to come from somewhere. Converting from BTC isn't transmutation - the BTC is sold for USD. The transaction happens in USD and must come from available USD for BTC sellers.

So what? So long as the USD exists, there will always be liquidity in the BTCUSD orderbooks. And the conversion can be done by the state itself when getting paid (see my link about Miami).
Depending on your level of access, I can think of many ways.

You can do a "takeout" of all data in the account and sell that. Or it can be anything that is requested, like a dump of all the private messages.

You can change the password of the account, possibly at a time like 3am at the user's local time so they're less likely to be using the account, then change it back at say 5am. This requires DB access.

You can find the user's session token/id if they're logged in somewhere and sell that.
Do the sanctuaries actually work?

I recall reading that they would seal out humans
"races" is a cultural concept designed to denigrate certain people.

Here's the talk that the slides accompanied: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv2TvTXQ4FQ (36min)
Nice write-up!

A couple of points:

On CentOS, at least, gawk == awk which falsifies "patterns cannot capture specific groups to make them available in the ACTIONS part of the code". Eg: echo "abcdef" | gawk 'match($0, /b(.*)e/, a) { print a[1]; }'

You missed the match and not match operators ~ and !~ in your list.

Finally, I find people better understand the flexibility of awk when they realise that awk '/bob/ { print }' is shorthand for awk '$0~/bob/ { print $0; }'. This makes it clear that the pattern element is not limited to regexs or matching the whole line.
Fortunately India an China will do their best to torpedo this monstrosity.
yeah, much better to have £100/dozen eggs. That way, at least they'll be on the shelves so rich people can still have them.
While there could be census data, this is weak substantiation and feels more like click-bait:

> It seems that much of the data on the main folder might have originated from the United States Census Bureau. Certain codes used in the database were either specific to the Bureau or used in the Bureau’s classifications.
From the casual observer point of view, it appears only some Asian governments have been able to competently handle this crisis. It appears we're going to learn the hard way things that China, South Korea, etc. understood through intuition:

(1) Widespread testing is key. Testing symptomatic people is too little, too late.
(2) You can't rely on people to self-quarantine.
(3) Infected people need to be isolated from their households.

So now we have a massive, economy-strangling quarantine that is not even going to provide any relief, killing the economy and still not flattening the curve. All the pain with none of the benefit.
Assembly mnemonics I think are terse to make it dirt simple for assemblers to read them, which themselves had to be hand-entered via hex until they became "self-hosting." Assemblers could not be on the same level as compilers. This was definitely very needed when these CPUs were new in the 70's and such.

I've always liked how 6502 neatly has everything in 3 letter opcodes. But that's not scalable given modern CPU capabilities.
My kids (3 year old and 6mo) and I had the exact same set of symptoms in Berlin around the 12th of February, except that we had lower fever. My wife showed no symptoms. We went to the pediatrician and it was diagnosed just as a standard flu + bronchitis. The baby was prescribed an inhaler with Salbumamol. I am already asthmatic so I just treated it as it getting temporarily out of control. We all had about rough 3-4 days but nothing that ever made us feel like an extraordinary case. When you have a 3 year old going to the Kita, you just assume that they will always bring something home.

I am working from home and we already had a flight scheduled for the end of February, so even after the kid got better we didn't take her to the Kita to avoid getting anything else. Now, I still think that what we had was just a seasonal flu, but I really would like to get some test to remove all doubt.
How should I improve the article to make it more informative for you? Also, please read my example below.
So agree here, I built a PC to play a few games last year and I haven't turned it on in months, feels like such a waste of time. But at the same time I waste countless hours doing other dumb stuff that and reading about things I will probably never actually implement. We need to play more is probably what it comes down to.
Thanks for sharing this. I just signed-up for the service right now and began cataloging my books (around 1300), a cool thing to do during my family's quarantine period.
You don't see the whole picture. The problem is that this thing DDOSes the medical system, causing a spike in deaths beyond what the system can handle as well as increased all cause mortality as emergency care becomes unavailable.

It may be no more deadly than the flu with appropriate care, but many more people seem to require that care than the flu. This is probably because it goes after the respiratory system, causing issues that require costly and labor intensive intervention. The flu might make you feel like total shit but it generally does not mess with respiration much, allowing many more patients to just wait it out in bed.

Italy has more hospital beds per capita than the US. Check out their condition.

You have to look at whole systems and the long game. Quarantine is about keeping the medical system up until we have drugs and hopefully vaccines not only developed but in production.

Elon is great at whole systems analysis. Not sure why he can't see this.

"The Pulse News Reader app, makes commercial use of the NYTimes.com and Boston.com RSS feeds, in violation of their Terms of Use. Thus, the use of our content is unlicensed. The app also frames the NYTimes.com and Boston.com websites in violation of their respective Terms of Use."

I completely agree with this. People should stop arguing copyright matters on a purely technical level. Intent matters. The intent here is that other people should not make money off the RSS feed. This is exactly what happened in this case, so NYT's reaction is perfectly natural.
Fast. I initially had some set-up issues making sure the MySQL jars were found and tweaking Glassfish settings.

Also, development of Ruby + Glassfish almost always meant Rails + Glassfish. I prefer Ramaze, and had to hack a few things (in warbler, for example, and the glassfish3 gem) to get around some things that that assumed you were using Rails.

If you are using one of the anointed frameworks (i.e. Rails or Sinatra) you're probably OK. If you are coloring outside the lines you may have issues. But I've not looked into it much since I got my site running (though now I'm just running it as a rackup app through jruby)

At this point though I'm looking at using Haskell when speed is a concern. But that's a whole other thread ...
For my Ajax apps I run nginx and Apache simultaneously. I don't like giving up Apache's module-based performance advantages for the application layer, but its memory usage is too high for my VPS if I want to use KeepAlive. I use nginx as the front-line web server and configure it to serve pre-gzipped static content and maintain KeepAlive connections. It then proxies dynamic requests to the Apache server. All makes for a nice low memory footprint :)
You didn't use a SarcMark (tm)! Apologies for the misunderstanding. Hopefully the information helps others who read the post and were confused.

I was wondering about that too. I figured all of the default bookmarks were a commercial side-load only a touch less obnoxious than the applications various hardware makers add to Windows installations.

I think that there is a difference between including a feature that suggests 3rd party data such as NYT RSS and something that includes it by default. Imagine if they had a free version that served up ads with NYT content--that wouldn't be very fair to NYT, would it?
women in science (at least in my field) no longer face significant discrimination.

I wouldn't be surprised if women in your field no longer faced outright prejudice. But discrimination involves systemic effects beyond just individual prejudice. Do the women in your field have wives? You know what a wife is I'm sure: the kind of spouse who spends more time with the children and doing all the drudgery of running a house so that their science-doing spouse can spend all their time at work doing exciting important science. Sometimes wives have jobs, but we all know that such jobs aren't really important and must be given up if the important science research has to move to get a better professorship.

If your female colleagues don't have wives, do you think that might, in any way, be connected with societal expectations for how marriages should work? I mean, having an unpaid personal assistant is surely a boon to research productivity, so it seems that differential assignment of said assistants to scientists of different genders might bring about discriminatory effects. Even in the absence of individual prejudice by any scientist in your field.
What has really jumped out to me in the comments is just how complex the web stack configuration has gotten to be.

It's almost not enough to just say "Nginx", you have to specify if you're using it in front of Mongrel/Passenger/Unicorn, just to serve static content, load balancing, etc.
> Thankfully recognizing situations isn't something that has to take conscious attention.

Should I explain how all these rush or "pressure" based sales techniques work and how they are trying exploit and manipulate "too narrow window of attention" of a customer?
Eh? If you follow the actual initial rules of tLDS then it should be a .org.

It’s a non for profit organization.

It’s not a business or a public company so .com doesn’t apply, it’s not an ISP or a company that provides networking services so .net doesn’t apply.

It’s not a military organization, educational institution or a government agency so .mil, .edu and .gov are not applicable.

Like it or not political parties was exactly the intended target for a .org domain registration.
When I started increasingly using DDG a while ago, it was primarily because I (1) thought it was "good enough" and (2) I wanted to preserve some diversity in the search ecosystem.

But by now, DDG is simply better. An important use case for search for me is to copy and paste URLs for discussions etc. Google will still show original URLs when I hover over their links, but when I COPY them, I don't get the URL, but some redirect link through Google.

At best, those are ugly and confusing when pasted into text. At worst, for e.g. image URLs, naïve processing may not longer recognize them as images because the suffix is buried deep in the redirect link.

DDG gives original URLs, As Sir Timothy Wanted Them.

Additionally, for image search, I get the impression that yandex gives more relevant results, although I don't have hard data to back that up.
I like the analogy to neurons but since we are sentient being this is a second order collective and I think we will know, at least to a degree, that we are merging.
Or, just hear me out, you can use that time, take a little risk and develop your own products.
> It also only takes 2 minutes to change dg3fkn.website.com to 3j4vdl.website.com (Hell, you can probably automate this). We mentioned above how much work it takes to gather all subdomains being used as a front for CNAME Cloaking. Now imagine they change every week, every day, or every hour. It’s just impossible to keep track.

That's fear mongering. The ad company can't pester their clients to make changes to the DNS on a regular basis. I'd say that anything beyond initial setup would be unaccepted to most clients. And clients won't give control of their DNS to ad company, so automation is also not really possible.

Also, because this setup is substantially more friction than a simple 3rd party tracking "just copy-paste this code", I'd guess it will only be used by high profile clients.

This all means that while annoying, it shouldn't be too hard to find and add these subdomains to the ever-updating ad url blacklists.
If you can communicate with it at all, you have already been pulled in.
Better social cohesion makes the company perform better. Companies don’t allocate money for no reason (sadly) and it’s shown that monetary incentives only increase individual motivation so much.
Sorry to hear that! It does help for intense anxiety, but also dulls discomfort that drives you to improve. It’s a tool much like Benzos, SSRIs, CBT, and exercise.
EDA tools are a different beast... There is a reason why the field is completely monopolized by the big three - Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor Graphics.

And a lot of the tools you mentioned are targeted towards FPGA design rather than full or semi-custom ASIC design. The big three have tools that can handle both.
Docker's been great for hobbyist stuff for me. But I don't really use anything fancy on it, just map some folders for storage I want to survive rebuilds[1] and forward necessary ports to the host machine's interfaces. I don't rely on swarm or any of that. I mostly use it to avoid having to worry about distro-specific crap, since I no longer care to (re-)learn any of that. I don't even use docker-compose since almost none of my personal services depend on one another, just simple shell scripts that all look pretty similar.

[1] In some ways this is easier than running traditional daemons, as storage locations for dockerized services tend to be well-documented, prominently, all in one place, and don't change from, say, one package manager to another. You can very easily get all your dockerized services storing their important stuff under one isolated tree, and back up the whole thing. That plus your run scripts are all you need to restore, no matter which host platform you use.

[EDIT] in fact, getting Samba set up for my super simple and surely common use case of "I want these folders shared read-only for everyone, and these others writable for this one user" was much easier with Docker than it's been since back when I used Gentoo. The fancier distros all seem to make it a big pain in the ass to do anything other than sharing user directories through the GUI, and change Samba configs between seemingly every major release, and they're always a mess. With the Dockerized version it was one short and sweet arcane magical line per directory I wanted to share, so no clearer, but very short and worked on the first try.

FYI, if you're looking to deploy a hobbyist/side-project Kubernetes cluster I'd highly recommend k3s [1] - it's a lightweight certified distribution, and is ridiculously easy to set up. I haven't needed to do any maintenance besides the periodic update.

It also works fine for production in my experience, I have a mildly popular website running on a 4GB VPS with it and haven't had any issues related to k3s itself.

My personal site I don’t use any analytics. My metric I care about is whether I’m having an impact on my colleagues and domain. I generally don’t try to mode that quantitatively, I care more about whether it seems people around me are influenced or helped by what I write. If it’s useful to some colleagues, that’s enough for me.
