I wonder if the results were more due to the face that the sentence itself is longer, rather than the specific words used (a longer sentence being a larger target for the user's eyes to land on).
I have only used it for prototypes so far because that is all that I have been doing recently. One of the projects will eventually be in PHP - but I see no reason why I can't clean the code up a bit, check it in and publish it.

It is just a collection of libs for GAE with my own glue code for the app, controller, a templating wrapper and some JS glue to get the models from the server into the client. You define the models and it auto generates scaffolding which you can re-arrange with the JS. Super-easy to create form based apps, I will push it to github next week and post it here on HN (I haven't had this much fun coding in a while, especially with being able to whip up mini-projects from idea to prototype really quickly - for eg. I did a simple todo list in a few hours, and a simple crm in a day (both auth with google), the actual code is just the models, over-riding the controllers where needed and placing form/record elements
I'm sympathetic to the argument that hiding information is counter-educational. But nothing exists in a vacuum. There are serious problems to deal with, too. I suspect the concern is phishing. Consider:

How likely are you to notice the problems with this URL? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that non-technical users consider the address field a sort of write-only space; they type something comprehensible in there, and the browser destroys it. The simplified address field with the bold domain name is a lot easier to read, and that probably increases the chances that it will be read, rather than ignored. The full URL is just one click away.
Really sorry about that, Daniel. Note to self: Get a seriously huge venue next time. Ideally next to really huge pub, (possibly brewery).

"obligation" is an interesting word to use, though I agree that naïveté is detrimental to one's capacity to advocate for less-precarious working conditions.
The problem is that non lawyers are not allowed to own law firms. And what lawyer wants to work over low cost chat sitting in a room all day? That's part of why this sort of service doesn't and will not exist.

I don't think it's wise to add a magnet link here.

That's a shame. It's the only way I could get my printer to consistently work across platforms. Oh well...
Pro se plaintiffs should pass some sort of light bar exam (some sort of licensing). And they should be made to pay higher fees to access the court systems. If they lose more than 3 times in a row they should be banned from the court systems entirely.

This is only to weed out the aholes who run frivolous suits hoping for an easy pay day when defendants settle to avoid protracted and useless litigation.

Also we should get rid of the "American rule" which prevents defendants who prevail to seek damages from frivolous plaintiffs.

I can't reply to your other comment so I'll leave it here.

I'm pretty well aware of the force they needed to get them out. I said they wouldn't have entered with a dozen officers there, which is completely different. The situation wouldn't have escalated that much. But well, that's only a conjecture.

Anyway, I don't want to keep this discussion going which is basically more about the semantics than the facts.
Me thinks this will have huge implications for big tech. A Pandora’s box was just opened.
> The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!

> To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

Imagine living in a society where saying either of these things is a banning offense. To all the censorship apologists here: you've given unelected and unaccountable people at big tech companies the ability to decide what people can say in public. Is that really the world you want to live in?
I really don't want the government to force me to serve people who destroy my private enterprise.

This isn't any different than a bar kicking out a patron for starting a fight - even if they happened to be the person with the largest bar tab.
Apple isn't deplatforming Parler, but they are requiring they implement moderation. The sole purpose of Parler is to avoid getting moderated, so this is ultimately the same thing.

If Parler users can't make threats of violence and hate, what is the point of the platform at all?
I think the extremely online political junkies vastly overestimate the amount of money Twitter derives from Donald Trump's tweets. Most people just use Twitter to follow their friends and celebrities and don't hang on to his every word.

They were mostly refraining from taking a harder line on Trump because they were worried about retaliation from the Republicans. Now that Trump's out office and the Democrats control all three branches that's no longer a concern for them.
I'm fine with Parler being banned, but for what it's worth:

I think you can be pro free-speech, and still be happy to use the downvote button. The downvote button is an agreed upon and standard way of expressing disagreement on the site, so is in itself a part of free-speech.

That said downvoting a well-reasoned, but contrary-opinioned comment is clearly against the intention of the button, which weakens my argument a bit.
A world governed by patch notes. Hoo boy.
Of course, the flip side is too many indexes.
I've been noticing a trend recently when reading about large scale failures of any system: it's never just one thing.

AWS EBS outage, Fukushima, Chernobyl, even the great Chicago Fire (forgive me for comparing AWS to those events).

Sure there's always a "root" cause, but more importantly, it's the related events that keep adding up to make the failure even worse. I can only imagine how many minor failures happen world wide on a daily basis where there's only a root cause and no further chain of events.

Once a system is sufficiently complex, I'm not sure it's possible to make it completely fault-tolerant. I'm starting to believe that there's always some chain of events which would lead to a massive failure. And the more complex a system is, the more "chains of failure" exist. It would also become increasingly difficult to plan around failures.

I'm not sure I understand you; CC numbers are not passwords. You can't salt and hash them on one end and then confirm on the other end; you need to send the whole number if you expect to process a charge against it.
Howdy -- pricing this is an area that I need help with so thank you for your input.

Examples to templates. Great idea -- done.

Layout vs mockup vs designs: probably not as clear as it should be; agreed. Layouts are high level (regions and text only) and you can export them; mockups are detailed and you can't export them. Designs are mockups and layouts. I'll work on the copy :)
You can see the editor a bit on the homepage, but yeah, it's hard to see. I'll probably add a "Tour" section at some point, where I'll definitely include more detailed screenshots.

Can someone explain the meaning?

"Truth, justice, and the american way" is not enough any more because a protester and a policeman exchanged a rose in a gesture of peace?

I'm kind of confused by this. I can't tell if Superman is a metaphor, or if he's just Superman. Is this the author's way of saying, "Superman belongs to the world, not just the US," or is the message bigger? Something more like, "We are all citizens of the world, so it's time to abandon ideas like 'the American way'."

I'm asking genuinely. I've always had a hard time reading in to the subtext of literature (yes, I count comics as literature), and there aren't a lot of people in my life who would read a Superman comic and help me dissect it from a literary standpoint.
This is true too but this is why I am asking this question. Maybe someone has found a way around this.

As much as I agree that economic freedom is important, it's not like in hindsight richer countries were able to shrug off corporations and the little guy managed to beat the big guy.

If anything it was merely the allowance afforded by being a richer country and the competitive culture backed by a competitive and often (at the time) unique society/political education movement that created the sort of economic illusion of being free which allowed for the little guys to rise/want to rise.

I am merely stereotyping though and even in my attempts at stereotyping I could be wrong but considering the current state of the world (or mainly America), it just appears to be the correct assumption.
I just tried it out. I like the feedback about which keys gave me trouble. However, i sometimes got tripped up because I automatically added two spaces after a period and your test only expected one space.
I fondly remember reading the print editions of both Dr. Dobb's Journal and the C/C++ User's Journal (later folded into DDJ).

Part of me misses this sort of curated content. Getting an article accepted in such magazines got one a healthy dose of respect amongst colleagues.
A little OT, but for me exercise is important for focus and positive thinking. I often get into a slump if I stop exercising for two weeks. Then, I go and run 4 miles and my head is clearer and I accomplish difficult tasks with ease.

I absolutely wouldn't be able to do good work if I didn't exercise. And, it helps prevent me from leaving dishes piled up and vegging out on the couch.
I've been an election helper for years (in Germany). We've counted everything by hand - and more than once.

I believe scanners are in use in other states, however this is vastly better than fully eelectronic voting as you can still do a hand count when the result is very close or suspicious.

In Germany the constitutional court has set the bar for electronic voting so hight, that it's virtually impossible.

I honestly thought that real normal english words could not be trademarked (scottish law). I think I'll trademark the word Hacker if no-one else has... You'll all owe me a fortune!
The example may be unnecessarily verbose (for example, they would have saved 90 characters by using json as the default namespace), but this is text. It's ridiculously compressible. Saving a handful of characters here or there is probably wasted effort.

Today, they would have applied with a better idea, in a later stage of implementation.
the word "node" has been used widely for years, they seem to be claiming rights to that word - the joyent rep above says that they are not claiming rights to the word node, but the text of the claim I just read states just that. don't get me wrong, i'm not a competitor or anyting - node.js is a cool tech that I'm currently playing with (would likely not have clicked the link otherwise), but the MASSIVE distinction between node.js and the simple word node is cause for concern for me
I'm pretty sure point 2 is incorrect. The compiler doesn't worry about multithreaded access to properties/variables when optimizing.

You're right that such access can cause problems though. If you do want the compiler to worry about multithreaded access when it compiles, you can use the `volatile` keyword.
I just launched my app 4 days ago (threewiki.com) and its backend is using GAE (Python + Tornado).
On the second day, it was featured on TheNextWeb front page and the server got TONS of traffic. It scared me a bit, and I quickly change the daily max quota to $10.
Anyways, GAE handles everything very gracefully. Over 70% of our users use either Facebook or Twitter to login and it hasn't been a problem at all.

I always think if your site can't be host by GAE, then it's probably not very scalable at the first place. I agree it might be better to host the data-processing end on EC2 or elsewhere if it's intense. Else in terms of the "View" part of your project, I wouldn't give it another thought for using GAE again.
that's the first thing i noticed but i kept reading. I went to a career fair (i'm still a college student) at my uni. An agency printed, as on of the subheadings of their one sheet flyer, that they were a team that is dedicated to being remarkable. A large portion of the rest of that flyer spoke of the agency's values. I moved on to the next booth pretty quickly.

You can be married and lonely; one of 6 kids and lonely; part of a team and lonely.

Loneliness is a state of mind and is thus going to be a matter of temperament. The author of the essay felt lonely because he had less than the amount of personal contact than he wanted. But someone else with less urge for socialization may have not felt lonely at all under the exact same circumstances.

I've been using FastSpring on my site for about 4 months. Customer support is indeed great. I sell software and I like that they have file fulfillment services. After a certain number of downloads/days the link stops working cutting back on piracy. I could code this all myself, but it would take time and it would be a headache to deal with email. Also, I really like how there is no monthly fee. This makes FastSpring ideal for testing new products albeit a little more expensive than alternatives in the long run.
I still have to finish up my Pyramid app next month (work project at a Plone shop), so it's good to know that the docs are getting better. Kudos!
I already linked to and extensively quoted the other article this article links to a few levels higher up ;-)
It doesn't stop me (much) from enjoying this or that product, but unless I have solid evidence (i.e. the 3 microdistilleries within walking distance of my home), I assume all liquor brands are owned by a behemoth multi-national like Diageo and even if it says "since 1643" on the label that recipes/blends/ingredients are constantly tweaked to lower cost and cater to focus-grouped tested tastes.
The numbers in this article are very frustrating, and the graph is misleading. The rise in absolute popularity of drugs with names with z and x has a lot less meaning if it's not presented along with the rise in total drugs too. That number (80% rise) is also mentioned, but you have to do mental arithmetic to figure out how that affects the other numbers, and it doesn't help you normalize the graph.

In fact, judging by the graph, if the total number of drugs increased by 80%, it looks like the relative popularity of "x" is actually static / declining over time.

All numbers for increases in popularity of x and z should have been normalized to the increase in drug count; in other words, described as an increase in the share of the total set of drug names (or share of new market entrants, or whatever).
This is the first video game to have a "movie" appeal. Fans of other cross-media formats, such as comic books, often will watch the movie simply because they were a fan of the series - even if the consensus is that the crossover is absolutely and completely terrible, and also hear as much from their most trusted referrals (see: Daredevil).

Because of the aging of this game and the story behind it, this sequel has taken on a similar quality - showing that maybe the thing that creates the appeal isn't the media format presented, but rather, the duration of time between one notable appearance and the next.
Yeah, I know that. Another random example is <li>, which doesn't require a closing tag. It was just included as an example. Finding a genuine example would require actually grokking the HTML5 parsing algorithm and starting to try to find optimizations.
I go to "threads"* first. I check to see if someone has replied to me since I was last here and if it needs a reply (or at least an upvote). Then I typically hit "comments" next. A good comment is very often what draws me to the discussion page for an article. After that, I check out what's "new". If it's a big yawn, I will check either "ask" or the homepage. Actually, I have been known to scroll down to "lists" and check "most active" before I bother to go to the homepage. I really spend relatively little time on the homepage.

* For some bizarre reason, my bookmark has defaulted to someone else's threads page, so I actually start there. Sometimes I read their comments before going to my own threads page, sometimes I don't.
But then you are distracting students with pretty pictures and music and not teaching them what, say, recursion is.
As for vodka, you can make it from pretty much any source of alcohol and have the finished product almost completely neutral. A friend took a distilling class and their demo vodka was made from cheap boxed white wine.

I swear SC1 had rewinding in its replays. Or at least jumping to the past. And from what I remember, SC1 replays recorded all user inputs, timing data, as well as w/e the unit AI (pathfinding and auto attack) did. This would cause some problems across patches which would make previous replays glitchy since something about the unit stats would change. For example, if a unit had 45 hp and then upgraded to 50hp in a patch and the replay had a unit kill the 45 hp unit and immediately leave, then in the patched replay, you would just have a 5hp wounded unit left standing there.

There were all sorts of tools for analyzing replays. They did contain ALL user inputs, so you could map a players APM second to second through the entire game, and you could also break out what percentage of their clicking was spam, and what were actual commands.
It depends on what state you incorporate as well as live in and what business deductions you can take (basically a lot of variables).

But, you are correct, that was loose advice with no detail around it, for which I am sorry. I should have just stuck to the your getting screwed by getting a 1099 over a W2 answer.

I'm surprised that no one has fingerprinted the patterns that these apps take to encrypt the files, then created an antivirus definition for them. Surely they can't be that polymorphic that no one can catch them?

Cryptolocker is not the problem. The lack of reliable backup is.

Years ago, I remember trying to screenshot video on a Microsoft XP box. When I tried to paste the screenshot inside any image editing program, the video region would remain blank. If I correctly positioned the image editor window over the window with the video source, the video would show through this region, but the video remained positionally fixed to the screen. I cannot remember if this happened for all video sources though. Could this have been caused by DRM?
Get a used iMac. (possibly 27inches).

For IOS dev you are looking to:
- fast enough processor(s) for the compile phase (can take ages)
- a decent graphic card/ram for getting your design tool of choice to work smooth (Photoshop is a good choice but not mandatory)
- a screen as big as possible. At least for me when programming something graphic I like to have code on one side and final result on another.

If you don't have "laptop" as a mandatory feature, desktop solutions usually offer more "brutal" performances at the same price point. Imac is a bit of crossover giving the hardware involved is almost the same used in laptops.
Looks like a custom written service. I quote from http://highscalability.com/blog/2014/7/21/stackoverflow-upda...

The Tag Engine is entirely self-contained, which means not having to depend on an external service for very, very core functionality. It's a huge in-memory struct array structure that is optimized for SO use cases and precomputed results for heavily hit combinations. It's a simple windows service running on a few boxes working in a redundant team. CPU is about 2-5% almost always. Three boxes are not needed for load, just redundancy. If all those do fail at once, the local web servers will load the tag engine in memory and keep on going.
