In the history of humanity the "build it and they will come" method of creating cities has not yielded great results. Take a look at Brasilia, or China's ghost cities.
As someone who just released an OpenAPI spec for our API and struggled with building client libraries to test that the spec was correctly generated, I'd pay for this, especially if it integrated with the rubygems/packagists/nugets of the world.

Let me know if you want an alpha or beta tester. Our OpenAPI spec is here: https://github.com/fusionauth/fusionauth-openapi and my contact info is in my profile.
Pure propaganda. I used to work at a top five web site, Tor never caused us any problems, our problems were 1) hacked university accounts from eastern Europe 2) China 3) Russia 4) super-fans trying to download every video and picture of their favorite porn star at once.

We occasionally had people upload child porn, they did it over the public internet and not tor, our lead counsel was a former US district attorney, his hobby was doxing the uploaders and providing all the evidence and information to the authorities in a "ready to prosecute" package. I forget the exact number but I think he got almost a dozen people prosecuted and jailed.
Coursera has a nasty spin on this.

Ending your subscription is easy, there are no hidden buttons or instructions to call. However, if you have been inactive on the course for some time (a few weeks), your progress is rolled back to Week 1, even if you did the weekly quizzes and assignments on time.
Well executed unique approach, great job! I’ve worked in games my whole life, and that’s hard to do!

Like others, I personally don’t like the time pressure and have really enjoyed the async one a day whenever format of wordle. It largely depends on your target audience and objectives for whether it’s right for this game. Separate zen/challenge modes would help players self select, but also muddies the onboarding. Great job though, fun game!
I run in the morning because I have no other option.

I find every step to be totally miserable.
GP is referring to a Rust language feature called “traits” that is a quirky subset of a Haskell language feature called “type classes”.

Type classes are based on firmer theoretical footing (I think the original paper is called “Making Ad-Hoc Polymorphism Less Ad-Hoc”) and therefore run into fewer weird corner cases.

That’s not to say that Rust traits are “bad”, they’re useful and arguably cleaner than the C++ version of the idea (“concepts”), but a Haskell hacker writing Rust is liable to grumble now and again at the weird edge cases.
Ok, we've changed it. Thanks!
Aside, every Bay Area software team I’ve been on has core hours beginning at 10am.
GREAT reply, patio11. It's not just a question of good versus bad SEO. Within each 'colour', there's a vast range of techniques. Not everyone knows about them, and certainly not everyone can implement them. More importantly, the things that really sets a talented ethical SEO apart from an inept ethical one are creativity and business smarts. Just like any marketing campaign, an effective, sustainable SEO campaign requires a deep understanding of the client's business needs and market.
Hmm. aff.txt contains what looks like credit card credentials, complete with likely-looking cvc numbers and challenge question/answers.

I would usually start with a phone call to theplanet.com, but that's me. These days though it's hard to get ISPs to care.

EDIT: Yipes. Careful accessing this site. I can't be positive but accessing /fl/ appears to be doing something really oddball; might be trying browser exploits.
Hmmm, you seem to be right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_series#Apple_II_Plus

I guess there's not much difference between the Apple II and the Apple II Plus, except that it's not the "very first Apple II". And also, the emphasis on "very first" is a slightly odd way to talk about the "II" of anything.
So maybe you're right that Bill still has something to prove (or, likes to put himself in the best possible light, a business/marketing quality?), it's just that you also misquoted him slightly inaccurately... in support of your own point... ;-)

I remember reading that Wozniak didn't write a floating-point BASIC, though it's not clear why; and it's not clear who exactly at Microsoft wrote it. Undoubtedly, it wouldn't be done totally by one person in isolation, both Bill and Paul would have had a hand in it.
It's odd: because it was the first floating-point BASIC for apple, I tend to think it was the first floating-point BASIC for microsoft, as if they were in competition. But they'd written several basics before then (and I'm sure some of them were floating-point). So much of that code and wisdom would be reused; hard for Wozniak to compete with that!
You're right, of course, but that's pretty weird to me too.
It's a pretty bad practice. I guess for semi-private material it's okay, but otherwise that's liable to leak. The biggest hole in it is referrers leaking to other sites, but I can think of other methods (eg probing the CSS history exposure bug).
Not "an art", but certainly "art".
>Sounds like fun to me.

Sounds more like humiliation. Like the stronger team are rubbing your nose in it and saying "we can beat you left-footed wearing our shirts over our eyes" ...
Next time the topic of bandwidth caps comes up remember this guy. I don't want to knock his project but I think it illustrates a point that unlimited bandwidth and access to services tends to make people less concerned about using bandwidth efficiently.
I am a long time lurker, but only just created a login here. I didn't think that this would be my first comment, but this sort of thing - advice for geeks - has been on my mind for awhile. I'm a geeky woman and have given my (mostly male, but female as well) geek friends advice over the years, on relationships and dating, dealing with being "the geek" in situations where that's not how you want to be seen, networking, and yes, how one looks.
I'm a geek but my family was very business oriented, and I had to learn how to network and such at company events and gatherings at a fairly young age. I count myself lucky in this, while I have never really loved networking I do know how to do it and it is important. Looking at some of my friends I can see how I might have turned out had this not been the case.
I have thought about creating a website like this, an advice site for geeks, but was unsure of my authority. My friends know my authority in this such as it is - I give good advice and they know my background. But random people on the internet? I'm just another person. Thoughts? Is authority important?
I personally use 'password' for my password on sites like Gawker, where I'm being forced to create an account I don't care about. Using 'password' for my password is my note to myself that this is a junk account that I have no interest in. I just don't care if somebody accesses it, period.

I suspect that others do the same thing, and little weight should be given to the strength of passwords recovered from a site such as this.
I mean, part of me agrees with you, it's immature to make jokes about genitalia with an innocuous word in French and even if they did then a few stupid jokes isn't a big deal.

At the same time, I feel like it's really easy for me to say stuff like that, as a white male working in tech, a group that's never been unwelcome in STEM (at least not in my lifetime).
Yeah, the "might" here is doing a lot of work

> As Windows operates natively in UTF-16 (WCHAR), you might need to convert UTF-8 data to UTF-16 (or vice versa) to interoperate with Windows APIs.
> The US police force has, quite literally, always been first and foremost a way for the richest upper class to protect their wealth, power, and assets.

Law and "order" can also mean keeping the order of classes as is.
> Also you have to click "I Agree"

No thanks. My preferred method for removing cookie banners is to just delete the node from the DOM. It works 99% of the time and I don't have to agree to anything. I suspect it's only a matter of time until someone makes uBlock Origin for cookie banners instead of ads.

EDIT: Nevermind. It's already part of uBlock Origin.
To me, it seems like a really bad sign if something that is supposed to solve a problem is “hard to explain”, almost like it doesn’t actually solve any problem and just ropes you in with familiarity.

My assessment is based on the fact that when you design something, you generally have to be able to explain its value, with little exception.

Different crowd (fewer suits, less whiskey) but same phenomenon: work deliberately created to be avant garde now repeated as canon.
Not a doctor, but I changed my name in college because even if people are too adult to make fun of the name, they still get an awkward look on their face. Also, professors struggled to mispronounce my name in order to make it sound less lewd to their English speaking ears.
Agreed, this is what I liked about the book “The Martian”. The protagonist only curses a couple times in the book and they really carry weight given the circumstances.
If he used a lot of brake cleaner or carburator cleaner then likely yes. Either TCE or a similar chlorinated solvents.
I was hired almost straight out of a bootcamp. Now am a remote Ruby Dev living in my dream city with a dream career. So ya, I'd say it worked out.
I have a vivid and fond memory of one particular experience with psilocybin many years ago. I was not "tripping" or in any way lacking in function, but it was as if a switch had flipped and every ounce of self-consciousness, anxiety, and depression was replaced with feelings of contentment and goodwill towards everyone around me. That was the only day in my life where I was a true extrovert. Unfortunately I have never had that experience again, but it gives me hope that someday researchers will discover and refine whatever caused that transformation and this will lead to breakthrough therapies.
I'm somewhat disappointed this has nothing to do with Gopher.

"ed - Don't quite understand the downvotes."

With the full power of humanity you design the first AI which is smarter than a person. It's then able to out do all of humanity and instantly design an even better AI. mind the gap.

Further intelegence is not a linear quantity as trading ex: improved poker skills for insanity is not a net gain. And insanity is a real option which is likely to plage most early AI attempts.
Was that mentioned anywhere in the AMA? I can't seem to find a thing on that.
Seems to be the index and abstracts only, the actual documents needs to be paid for. Not too expensive at 15$ each, probably worthed if you need such information.
> Depending how sophisticated your adversary is

The videos I saw don't inspire much dread, there, but they may give the laptop to someone that can do digital forensics. Lots of LEOs in that lot. They would be smart enough to stay out of the building, but might have been waiting for someone to come out with something like that.

But, as someone pointed out, a lot of the folks wouldn't bother trying to read anything. They'd probably try to plant their own fantasies onto it, and send it to Rudy The Hair Dye Man.
Presumably the same reason police moved barricades, waved them in, and took selfies with them.
Congress constantly gets briefed on things that are behind closed doors. Not to mention our president is also leader of the armed forces.
The case with Telegram is they overtake your account, and it might be the same with Signal.
The zoom calls are the symptom.

Meetings are a way of "doing something" without actually doing something. Most megacorps waste millions spinning their wheels on nonsense, but they're established and make money so it doesn't matter.

A strong small team working on a specialized product will always win - that's why they get gobbled up eventually by the megacorps - there's no way they can compete with that internally.
The guy in the middle of the most famous picture seems to have tape on both sides. I think the other guys don't have tape at all, possibly because they're from a different branch.
Hello, I've stumbled across your comment and happy to see that enough time has passed that my reply is unlikely to be read by anyone but you. I am a very similar position as you, being a self-taught programmer, living a very "contained" lifestyle despite my past professional successes, and also in our calculus of what is meaningful and valuable. I completely agree with your sentiment about these things we see on Instagram conveying no inherent meaning, but I would like to suggest and warn you against the trap of thinking that we can possibly know what is "meaningful" to another human being, even a member of our immediate family or one of our children.

We are human, yes, and there will be inevitable similarities in the things in life from which we derive joy and sadness and meaning and love and hate, etc. But it is after all a subjective thing in the utmost, and trying to persuade or coerce our own subjective meaning and value judgments onto others will only ever result in conflict. That's not to say we shouldn't have our values challenged, as that is the only way we can grow as people. But your kid -- indeed, every human being that ever existed -- has to make this trek themselves. Nobody can do the hard work of finding meaning and purpose for us, and the older I get, the more I can see how damaging it is when we try to do this hard work for someone we care about. It's impossible to convey tacit knowledge, and it's from tacit knowledge that we derive meaning and construct our system of values. The world's languages are littered with empty platitudes as a result of this struggle. That's why the best answer is also the most challenging: Set a good example and be there to help those you care about to process their experiences (good and bad) intellectually so that they might gain that tacit knowledge. If you're still reading this, I'd like to suggest taking a look at the ancient Stoic philosophers (Epictetus, Seneca, etc), as the things they wrote thousands of years ago have been extremely helpful in my own journey.
Are you suggesting that the profile for hackers isn't "white male"? Or are you just trying to ham-fist "cops are racist" into the convo?
> It's relevant when falling back to SMS would cost you $$$.

Then disable the fallback... It's a very obvious and simple setting.
the issue is that people would probably not want to pay for an app like WhatsApp, and so the 'free' alternative takes hold, and whoever controls that gets the cost of running the infrastructure in advertisement fees.

If some company could set themselves up as a utility, and the mobile network operators were to pay that company to run the messaging app + infra, then it could be made to operate like a utility and nobodies data would have to be sold.

Yeah, but tech-illiterate baby boomers weren't sharing fake news articles in Usenet groups.
I think based on market share of "all public / semi-public social media discourse", and the relatively few platforms with high shares, they are effectively a limited resources.
The "secret chat" function should be default. Why isn't it? Also, it's not available at all for group chats.
Try seeing beyond the current situation. I don't care about trump. I care about monopolistic platforms openly abandoning their neutrality.

Imagine a world where the online speech is shaped to the liking of a platform owner. It will logically lead to winning elections and forming government by the side supported by such platform, which will of course stay private to legally censor anti-government speech, which, in turn, will make replacement of said government nearly impossible via elections. If you don't see any problems with that, well, I rest my case.
I have nothing to add except I fully second this. Perhaps a counter icon indicating 'other posts exist'
I use this. Excellent little piece of software. It prompts whenever something wants Internet for the first time, as well as what it's trying to access, and let's me approve/deny.

Nothing groundbreaking, but it has a job and it does it well.
Not true. Being the last mover is more important than being the first.

Also, having an established competitor is great as it allows you to research what customers say about their experience. An MVP with a slightly different angle can become obvious from that.
I wonder how ownership of the Apple stores in China works.
Personally, I'm loving Pinboard.

Anytime I hear "plugin" for things like bookmarks, I think "well, there's something I'm going to forget to reinstall sometime".
Agreed. The author seems to have a very bean-counter attitude towards things; I think he is saying, if it's not immediately making money, or can't be shown to be immediately making money, axe it!

Real innovation is so radical there is no business case for it until you create demand for it.
I think you meant http://simplynoise.com
Why? Because cricket is so popular in the US? I hope you realize that there are places outside of this country and in those places people don't necessarily care about our cultural/historical baggage.
I don't think that was the intent of the statement. Read it again. The Hummingbird chip can't compete versus Snapdragon when it's tied down by Android 2.1... that was the point.
Open sourcing proprietary software isn't necessarily easy. I was at Netscape when we sanitized the codebase to release as Mozilla, and there was plenty of third-party code that had to be left out. (That's part of why Mozilla was so slow to get off the ground. That, and the fact that compiling Navigator was always a pain in the donkey, even when you had the whole thing.)
Google Wave sucked, and was a stupid idea on way too many levels to list (the concept, the technology, and the interface to begin with).

But Wave was not a 20% project, and that is probably one of the reasons it flopped, it got over hyped and over engineered in ways that would never have happened if it had been a 20% project.
"You'll notice that the 'Fortune 500 most valued skills' doesn't include "independent thinking" in the list of top topics."

Are you suggesting CCSS does a worse job of fostering independent thinking than the curricula it replaced? Quite the opposite CCSS is completely infused with helping children reason about unfamiliar problems in ways that allow them to manipulate data and mathematical concepts. You're erecting a lovely strawman there, but the fact if you want your children to be better entrepreneurs then inquiry based learning is much better than sitting through info-dump lectures and memorizing algorithms without context.

"You'll also notice it doesn't include fine arts appreciation"

Perhaps because it was an article about math education, written by a mathematician, on a math blog, with math in the title.

If you're really interested in this stuff, then it is worth reading some educational theory. There has been a lot of work on how the "classically educated citizen" is a myth, only ever instantiated in a tiny elite. To argue that all children should be educated in such a way is to argue that all children should be part of a liberal elite. Which is not a bad argument, but is not one, at its core, of education.

SaveMyLife, relating to the Psychotherapy, have you ever be diagnosed as having OCD or an Anxiety Disorder. These are much different than depression. I am in no way minimizing your physical issues (and the positive Lymes test seems alarmning, and I would certainly try to get a DNA confirmation on that and focus on that), however OCD/anxiety is a very lethal combination and has been known to manifest itself in physical ailments.

If by "research" they mean "contemporary scientific research," their statement is a tautology.

How so? Scientific research on many subjects dates back to the ~17th century or so, so I'm not sure how it's a tautology to say that scientific research on a particular subject didn't begin until the 20th.

Unless you mean that the "contemporary" bit is a tautology, but you just inserted that word yourself.

Just because their research didn't lead to correct conclusions doesn't mean it wasn't research

But what if it didn't use the correct methods? I think it's fair to restrict the definition of "research" to methods which are likely to lead you towards the right answer rather than the much older method of "just making shit up".
I agree you should launch sooner rather than later. Also, not to be rude, but if you do start a blog, you may want to have someone proofread your posts. A lot of typos like you have here won't instill confidence in your users.
With regards to your trivia question, where you talking about http://decode.org/?q=pbagvahr?
Rockets launched from the Soyuz launch site in Kazakhstan cannot reach orbits with an inclination of 39 degrees so there's no way that they could have reached the orbiter from there.
An Ariane launch from French Guiana could have worked and there was a rocket there that launched a satellite shortly afterwards but that would have required fabricating a supply vehicle with automatic guidance and navigation capable of docking to the orbiter by itself. (Ignoring for the moment that the orbiter didn't even have an external airlock with docking collar installed.)
I like this article.

Our society places too much emphasis on superlatives. This emphasis creates a world that idolises extremes and pushes us further towards (ab)normal ideals.

The journey we take towards our goals is where lessons are learnt.
the first social media platform I used was Reddit where you really can choose to be fed thirst traps or rage bait for the next hour by exclusively browsing one or two specific subreddits and I'm not sure I'd say that's much more healthy than fully algorithmic social media, it just has different problems.

Particularly the rage bait: I basically had to quit reddit because I realized the extent to which I engaged in rage bait made me a worse person.
