The genius of natural language is that it communicates your entropy along with your information. We can make statements that tell us about unknown things in terms of other unknown things, and yet still get use out of them. "whoever killed him owns white gloves" doesn't let you fill in the blanks, but it certainly conveys information in the Shannon sense of reducing the size of the set of possibilities. Our computer languages surprisingly lack this as pointed out. They don't let us store data with anything other than absolute specificity, and thus run into cumbersome challenges whenever we have to merge "the butler" entity with the "murderer entity".
I always found that practice weird. When using a photo as a source it feels like you're just taking someone else's vision and photocopying it on a canvas.

Yes there are many photos that you can call art, but if you're not the one that took the original photo it feels like most of the creative effort was not yours and you're just showing off your brush/pen technique.

As a disclaimer, I have 0 talent when it comes to drawing/painting so I'm pretty much clueless about the creative process of modern painting.
I remember reading an article in Encyclopedia Dramatica (I won’t link to it, as it’s fairly NSFW), in which they posted a bunch of really tasteless pictures of some poor girl’s body, after a horrific auto accident. These were taken by a first responder at the scene.

She came from a prominent family, and the family hired one of these firms to “clean up” the images.

It did not seem to work. In fact, it seemed to have the opposite effect (see “Streisand Effect”). Trolls tend to take this kind of thing as a challenge.
Try again with -Wall
If by 'accountability' you mean the ability for site ops to unilaterally de-anonymise Tor users, then no; Tor users will never agree to that.

If SE executives are really concerned about spam and vandalism by anonymous actors, then SE could Tor users to post assets in escrow (e.g. Monero) before posting. Similarly, if SE executives are concerned about denial-of-service attacks, then SE could rate-limit the sites that are causing the attacks; Tor is not efficient for that kind of attack anyway. There is no sound argument that blocking Tor entirely would further the interests of SE users.

This is the act of a monopolist in secular decline.
I'm not sure that's actually true in the case of ThreadSanitizer - a well-designed data race detector can detect race conditions that didn't actually get triggered in that run. In any case, usually people try and exercise those rare code paths by running a fuzzer against sanitizer-instrumented code.
Nice to see posts about Kant, but this is very conceptually sloppy. Transcendental philosophy is about grounding synthetic a priori, which the third categories are examples of. The concept of “the sphere of possible existences” is not the same as the world (which is an a priori regulative idea) but denotes the infinite possibility determined only by the lack of contradiction. Categories are conditions of possible experience, meaning that they are required to syntesize empirical data into knowledge (without it you only have a sensible manifold,a chaotic data flow). The author should research transcendental aesthetics and Kant's distinctions between concepts and ideas to get a better understanding of Kant and epistemology in general.
> how can I see that a screen/dialog is active

I use "Dim inactive" desktop effect which darkens windows that aren't focused. You can configure the strength of dimming, so that difference active vs. inactive is clearly visible but you can still (somewhat) read the content of inactive window without activating it.
Break up the pharma companies and let them only be at-cost (!) manufacturers, move all R&D off to universities, and cooperate with other countries in said R&D efforts.
Case shuffled into the nearest door and watched the other passengers as he rode. A couple of attendees were approaching him, strictly wannabes, they had maybe 200 ETH between them in deviantart apes. He flew away, somewhere in the twisting mazes of the market there would be exclusivity, only the billionaires with digitally executed works at hand to interact with.

When a work was digitally executed it was put into a room that functioned as a 3d scanner, then the room's heat was turned up high enough to vaporize iron. The 3d scan of the work would be saved to an NFT complete with digital proof of its absolute destruction.

Case was currently looking for the Gauguin, which, after its execution was now the most expensive NFT in the world, estimated worth, two billion dollars. Bezos would pay double that.
Sagrada Família is under active construction since 1882, 139 years ago (with some pauses due to civil war etc).

The court has to pretend that. We in the public can follow any decision rule we please, including maximum likelihood.
The RDP server comes with Windows 7/8 Pro; home and other versions of Windows don't enable it.

RDP works a lot better in general, because you aren't limited to the screen resolution of the server system.
In the US, you're basically responsible for fraud on your debit purchases (banks often make vague claims otherwise, but it's very hit-or-miss whether they'll back them up), while you are completely protected from fraud on a credit card. So using a debit card with a merchant you don't completely trust is very risky.
Dwolla has been working on a better interface for that, and their transaction costs are far lower than anything mentioned in this article.
Where I grew up the distinction didn't happen until high school, and even then there was a large overlap between AP Calculus and AP English. Computer Science was a different beast - we were a subset of the Math nerds that didn't necessarily get into English due to the imprecision.

The irony is that the precision of CS makes us better writers because we can see the inconsistencies. (How many requirements documents can be interpreted multiple ways?) Between undergrad and grad the Math/Verbal spread on my standardized tests flipped.
Donate. Donate! "Here's my password, and also five dollars." They are literally getting people to pay them to give up their passwords.

This is the best social engineering attack I've ever seen.
Why would "(^%$@^$%" take a minute to crack and "aaaaaaaa" 5 hours? Anyway, nice try but I don't think I'll be giving you any of my actual passwords.
I have found this to depend on the school and program you came out of. Some bachelor's programs are rigorous, others not so much.

In general, engineering and science graduates with bachelor's degrees from large state schools and universities are fairly competent. Core skills and knowledge vary widely with graduates from smaller local schools.
These doors very effectively mean that control of the plane would be put into the hands of the cabin crew, but magnifies the cost of a rogue operator -- I am certain the risks were evaluated and the challenge of a determined suicidal pilot was ruled outside scope.

And yes, there are emergency override codes, but there are also time override-overrides from within the cabin. Even if the protocol where two members of staff are always in the cabin was broken (or absent), again, that does not stop a rogue operator from despatching with the other person.

The question is (hypothetical at this stage, there are a lot of details still unknown): have these type of doors already saved more lives than the ~150 tragically lost this week?

Forget Google, what you need is OpenStreetMap and that, naturally, has many offline viewers. I like Osmand and Maps.me.
It's probably not what's going to happen though, instead that person is going to work preferentially with people who speak their language because even if hiring a translator to work full-time was an option (and it generally wouldn't be because hiring a good translator full time would be ridiculously expensive for most companies) it would be a major pain in the ass to have to translate everything all the time.

A few years ago I worked with a Taiwanese company and we had to use translators because some of their engineers didn't speak English (and I don't speak Chinese). The person translating was also an engineer which helped massively as she understood what we were talking about and could sometimes anticipate our questions and "fluidify" the discussion but it was still a huge annoyance, it made every interaction more painful than it needed to be, you often wondered if they really understood what you meant etc... I can't really imagine myself working full time in such an arrangement.

I now live in Portugal and there's a massive American and French community in Lisbon. Many of them don't bother learning Portuguese and just interact with everybody in English. As such Portuguese people looking to work in Lisbon pretty much have to speak English. Actually you can now find restaurants where the waiter speaks English but not Portuguese (or at least not fluently). You can encounter similar situations all around the world where there's a huge foreign community. That can be fairly irritating for locals who end up feeling that they're the ones living in a foreign country...
>Creating sophisticated web pages is massively easier than 10 or 20 years ago.

And still average people aren't taking advantage of this and creating their own websites because despite it being massively easier, the way the web is now has pushed it still beyond the average person's reach. If these 'sophisticated' stacks and technologies weren't the norm and instead the web was more focused on being s place where.the average person can easily put up their own fancy looking simple webpage maybe we wouldn't be so dominated by these massive companies that have become the gatekeepers by providing limited platforms for people to do what did used to be a relatively easy thing even back in the day.

There's a reason these companies fund and push these technology stacks, it gives them huge control over the internet and in the end, they don't really do anything fundamentally different than what good old fashioned HTML and CSS can do. Hell especially the HTML of today.
Yes, you should look for "virtualized" lists or scrolling. This is offered by many components in all frameworks.

Here's a popular one: https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized
This pretty much sums up the entrepreneurial impact of socialism for me:

"You can be a socialist under capitalism but you can’t be a capitalist under socialism."
Amazon Cloudfront does support gzip, just not dynamically. So it requires uploading two versions of every CDN file, one uncompressed and a second that is compressed, being careful to set content-encoging and content-type headers correctly. Then all the pages on your site (assuming they're all dynamically generated of course) need decide whether the client can handle gzip or not and the link to the appropriate gzip/non-gzip version in the Amazon CDN.

The real "fun" begins when you have CSS or javascript files that reference other files in the CDN. You have to fix them to link to the correct gzip/non-gzip version of the files.

With some perl, trial-and-error it can be made to work. There are some Amazon S3 modules in CPAN, which is a big help.

The big win for Amazon CDN is the low cost to experiment: Pay as you go. Our bill for the first 3 months of playing around with S3 and the CDN (this is just for internal testing mind you) was less than a dollar. Looking at SimpleCDN, they want a minimum of $500 for a month of service before you can even access the full dashboard.

All the other CDNs I've looked at require a phone call to a sales and marketing droid to setup an account. When all I really want is a trial account and some API docs.
An automatic 100% credit for 10 days usage, thats pretty good IMO
damn, it doesn't work over here. It's stuck while "connecting" after the facebook connect. Anyone else having this problem?
Google Voice!
That's pretty cool - although it's having trouble matching up some of my messages to contacts, and threading them.
I have GV, but some people still have and text my native #
Definitely not. And despite the other calls, angel investing is a terrible idea as well, imo

$450,000 may seem like a lot of money, but in the grand scheme, if it's your entire life savings, it's not. Investing in one company on a secondary market or investing in a handful of startup companies is pretty much as high risk as you are going to get.

If you were a normal 9-5 worker, the traditional advice would be to invest for retirement using normal means. Index funds, stock market, bonds etc. I don't think that's a bad idea here.

Instead of going for big returns, which also comes with the more likely result of big losses. I'd suggest you invest in yourself. Use the money to be able to have a bit of a runway for your own projects. There will be expenses, but fortunately you have some funding for yourself. Hopefully you won't have to use most of that money before you start turning a profit on your projects. Then continue to save money for long term retirement, or maybe you'll want to buy a house eventually.
Why does it need facebook account?
It depends what they define as a "server". If you have to set up a Linux box somewhere with decent upstream, then yeah, I'm not spending any time on that. And I'm the sort of person who could do it.

However for what I use Dropbox for, I'd be perfectly fine if the "server" was just an old Windows box running out of my basement. If there's nothing more onerous than a port-forward it might be useful.

But either way I doubt the guys at Dropbox have anything to worry about. To hurt them this doesn't have to appeal to the average Dropbox customer. It only has to appeal to the average paying Dropbox customer. There's a big difference there, but probably not big enough to matter.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
I'm getting a 404 for that URL.
If you think after the massive gift given to the healthcare industry in name of reform and the even greater gift given to the big money banks in the name of TARP that our government is motivated by anything other than the interests of industry. I have a bridge I am selling in China. Its very big and makes tons of money. Just let me know if you are interested.
HA! Facebook login required. Screw it.
Ubique 'Virtual Places' (1995) turned every web page into a chat room:

Overcast in buffalo...
I'd be willing to bet there are quite a few kayakers lurking as well.
Thanks amoore.
Absolutely agree with adding as much information about your app/site as possible - especially that you were reviewed by CNET and Mashable. There are a few additional pointers available at https://flippa.com/help/sell
Also be sure to add the webapp tag to your tweetsaver.com listing.
In the spirit of the season, let us know once your Flippa account is set up and we'll send $10 worth of credits your way.
Hope that helps - good luck!
I think it was the large number of casualties the soviets were wiling to tolerate, I doubt the French would have encouraged the loss of a million as was incurred during Stalingrad. Consider also that the large land mass was a liability as it had to be defended, for example from Japan.
I'd suggest that the guest use case is the most important one and that account generation/creation/etc is for most sites the use case that should come second.
I'm not sure pointer concepts are very difficult, pointers might confuse people that didn't grow up with assembly language, but they really aren't very hard to understand and they are also less and less relevant. Over the years the abstraction level increases, it's far better to teach people to continue computer science to the next 21st century level, not go over stuff from the 70's again that they will likely never use. The breakthroughs in CS coming very likely won't be written in C (or assembly for that matter).
As an intermediate developer I've managed to quadruple my wage after going from full-time (40 hours) to contracting rates (30+ hours, 6-month term). I brought up the fact that my side projects are starting to gain traction, but I know the work I'm doing for the company is important and I'd like to finish what I started.

I also brought up that I've had a few job offers with highly reputable firms, and my current career growth had stagnated where I was currently positioned.

Basically; me me me.
FWIW, UC Berkeley's intro CS course sequence goes through the following languages in order: [Scratch (in an optional gentle-intro CS course)], Python (with an emphasis on using it for functional programming), a tiny bit of Scheme, a tiny bit of SQL (before they used a toy logic programming language), Java, C, MIPS assembly. I think this walks down the ladder of abstraction very nicely.
Vegas odds on 2015 topping it are still pretty good, and now with a Republican majority in both House and Senate, a party built on a platform of flat-out denial, we're pretty screwed.
I have recently changed my way of living loosing 40 pounds in 4 months. The number one factor is exercise and holding back on carbs. I actually feel better not eating carbs (but I do miss my pasta and my bread which i only eat occasinally)

A family of four we cook all our meals ourselves completely from scratch unless we go out for dinner that also helps me control what I am getting. I drink wine and drinks when I want to, try to keep my lunches to fish and dinners to meat and veggies.

But I would say exercise is the most important of everything I am doing.
An interesting thing about this app is currently it's the only source of keyword search volume for Youtube...
Somewhat ironically, that would be much easier to achieve than the full cloning of a mammoth.
Well, then, I guess that compensates somewhat. Still, I'd suggest announcing the hard date 3 or more months in advance (I'd prefer 6). People become busy and complacent. And people may not quickly realize that a work they value has been abandoned by its original poster.

On the upside, they are "allowing" downloads. I guess I should acknowledge that as a serious positive.

I may have become sensitized by years of management that had similar attitudes towards changes. Push, push, push... until suddenly, we're abandoning this, NOW.

Different settings, but not entirely dissimilar feelings evoked.
1. It's taking a transport stream format based around a buffering model... but as far as I can tell, completely ignoring the actual buffering model itself. Instead of working within the MPEG buffering model, it simply makes some arbitrary restrictions on the size of each chunk, which doesn't make any sense.

Yes, it totally ignores the MPEG buffering model. Perfectly valid streams don't play on Apple devices.
Jon Postel, a great man indeed. Perhaps I'm missing the significance, but is there _any_ reason to celebrate a 12 and a half year anniversary?
Have a look at craftyjs.com - not very mature, but moving fast, and really nice to work with.
Those are the first uses because online gamblers and muckraking NGOs are the ones most desperate for an alternative to a government-issued currency. If the average person was unable to function with inflationary currencies, they'd find an alternative.
The sarcasm was delicious. I have to comment about this though:

Except... you can't store the code in files that way. Lispers tend to learn their lesson the hard way, as all code is lost when you need to reboot your computer.

I once interviewed for an embedded systems C/C++ compiler company and they told me this hilarious story. One of their big clients made semi-custom hardware to support their lab operations. This client took advantage of a special feature of their compiler/development-environment whereby you could patch code running on a live system without having to recompile just by setting a breakpoint. It turns out that there was a hard limit on the number of breakpoints you could have running at once though: 65536. This client had exceeded that number and then came begging for them to raise it because they had been making changes to their system in-situ for years and all those changes were gone. The changes only existed in the patched binary; the source for all 65K changes had been lost.

So yes, you do need to be careful about interactive systems, but I've only ever heard of it biting C/C++ users this badly.
Thanks for the link, and well said that anonymity is basically always proportional to sophistication. What worries me is that other, related systems people will have experience with (like anonymous file-sharing, public-key encryption, onion routing) have many fewer hoops to jump through to feel confident that they're working correctly. Apples to oranges, but expectations work like that.

If I throw a disk containing my 2048-bit private key into a fire, I can be confident that nobody is ever going to decrypt my files. Getting the same level of confidence for Bitcoin anonymity is a lot tougher.
Even if your users are not stupid, designing as if they are is usually beneficial.
I currently live in a place with a lot of fresh coconut vendors and it's a lot of work to open a coconut.

I've spent time thinking the various strategies one could use to open a coconut without a large butcher knife.

I think bashing the coconut on a sharp rock would spill the valuable coconut milk, and require too much energy to get to all of the coconut meat.
And having to constantly click on "Continue this thread" to read another comment or two (or maybe even 0). I understand that they wanted to stop endless threads from polluting the comment section, but they should make it possible to easily disable this behavior.
I found that once you get use to the other keyboard your muscle memory will automatically kick in and readjust depending if you're on a standard keyboard or a split.
Emacs has a lot of keyboard shortcuts, and many people like to customize them extensively. Finding efficient, available combinations is not trivial. This virtual keyboard shows on first glance which keys are in use with which modifier combinations.

There is a blog post about it, if you are interested in understanding all of its features and use cases: https://tkainrad.dev/posts/visualize-collections-of-keyboard...

Thank you. I realized my mistake, I totally skipped the word playgrounds. Now everything make sense :)
He does, he links to the following footnote: "Windows 8 was the best version of Windows. And that’s just a fact."
The posters point is that Ruby has surprising concurrency semantics compared to other solutions.
That's a little bit different than "censorship," don't you think?
Do you check for your own flyers in landfills?
Alternatively, you could have a reality check and realize that your business probably doesn't need unicorns.

I find it very odd that an industry obsessed with putting out minimum viable products is also obsessed with getting the absolute best engineers, particularly in an environment where mere competency is supposedly hard to find.
