"How do you keep yourself pushing code when life gets busy or you just get bored?"

I don't. When life gets busy with other I am busy and the other people are my priority. If you are with your family and you are not really there, you will feel guilty later on work and not be there either.

Steve Pavlina explains it better than I do:
http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2014/12/130-days-off-per-ye...

What Steve could do after years of training(and reading thousands of books and learning from others) is probably not what a normal person could do. But they can apply some of the ideas.

In my experience, people from the US tend to work to much, but not really work. e.g When a German person works, he works, do not distract him because he will get upset.

I had never ever got bored in my entire life. I have always done whatever I wanted to do. Life has been tough to me at some times, but always in the sense of the Lion on the wild, that if he does not hunt, he just dies.

It is just so easy today to choose safety, but also living on a cage.

Go to the zoo and look at the animals there. Have you ever seen an animal(lions, leopards, elephants) in the wild?
It is completely different. It is the same with people.
> But I've heard mostly silence from Amazon

Interestingly Amazon was one of the first non-Google companies to use SPDY. The Silk browser, first shipped in fall of 2011, includes an "acceleration feature." With it Amazon proxies your traffic and does a bunch of one the fly front-end optimizations (gzipping everything, lossless image optimization, giant shared caching proxy, basically a subset what mod_pagespeed can do). SPDY (and now presumably HTTP/2) is used between the tablet and Amazon's data centers.
You could put this between the device and another router. Someone who would use a device like this would also have a decent router regardless of what their ISP provides.
It's more than just cost savings it's

Flexibility of networking,
Regional coverage,
Tooling ,
Performance,

On the cost side with reserved instances it's less expensive.
It could be a switch with a firewall. The article also says zero configuration.

More closeup picture of the device in that link. There's some sort of camera/light emitter above the left and right eyes. Two panes, and some sort of smaller HUD in front of the right (and left?) eyes, but it actually might be a part of the second glass pane.
Note that this is already broken in various cases, like when navigating from an HTTPS page to an HTTP page.
This is a pretty foolish and naive way to view internet startups. I'm sure you would've said the same thing about Zynga, Groupon, Digg, etc.
If you have a Comcast modem then you're paying too much - they charge $10/mo for something that can be bought on Amazon for less than $80
I didn't intend to be snippy or snarky, and I don't really think I was. I was simply pointing out the problems with this proposal, which has been proposed numerous times by numerous folks, but such proposals never addresses the tradeoffs. If you're willing to chat off-list about my communication style, I'm happy to make tone corrections in the future.

As for the "Representing EDN" design doc that I wrote. You're right to note similarity between tagged literals and feature expressions, however, I don't believe that they warrant the same tradeoff. One stated design goal of EDN is for intermediate processors to be able to handle self-describing data. They can already do that by defining a default tagged reader function. All I'm proposing there is that there be a single standard "uninterpreted" type, so that multiple intermediate processors can cooperate in handling self-describing data in the absence of special purpose tagged readers. Otherwise, each reader would need to perform an eager walk of each object to replace unknown types, and, by that point, they have no way of knowing what types they need to look for to replace in general.

By contrast, Clojure's reader already loses information necessary to represent Clojure source code as opposed to EDN data. The EDN data model is not rich enough on its own to represent code.
Or even better, the full pdf report. It is very readable and extremely interesting: https://securelist.com/files/2015/02/Equation_group_question...
The thing is, you can afford it, and you'd get great value out of it. And getting even slightly proficient with vim is a massive boost, since you can use it everywhere (I use it inside VS and Firefox). I agree it's probably just really bad marketing for him to limit access, since most people are going to have a negligible load. So from a business point, it's almost certainly wrong. The 6 month thing is only a problem if you really procrastinate. After you learn it there's no need to replay. But still, bad marketing.

From a personal point, vim is amazing and will significantly improve your text editing life and getting these skills is worth far far more than $25. (I'd pay at least $1000 to have vim proficiency loaded into me Matrix-style.)
Volume is key. Volume to push price of silicon panels down to have electricity reach grid parity levels. An intesting project (which I think has been ditched or put on hold) is/was DESERTEC. Install thousands of PV pannels in the Sahara dessert, and connect this to energy-hungry Europe thorugh a new HVDC grid connection.

Neat. Very neat indeed!

How about your clients?

Did they miss the old WP text editor or are happy with the new CMS?

My only take on this setup is the perceived or apparent fragmentation since the resources are scattered over many places and not on a single point like in a typical WP installation, what do you think?
I believe that "Clojurian" is the correct term for most Clojurians (including myself) but correct me if I'm wrong. Fine article though!
Now your window needs wiring. And an inverter. Would be more effective to coat it or tint it or put up some blinds.
"Police impersonation is an act of falsely portraying oneself as a member of the police, for the purpose of deception."

"...for the purpose of deception" being the operative phrase. Campus "police" aren't attempting to deceive anyone, they're attempting to enforce university rules.
There was the Virtual Boy. It was ugly, it was painful to play, and the overall experience was disappointing. I haven't heard of any reliability issues with it, but considering how massive a failure it was it might be that no one ever played one long enough to find out.
That's kinda the weird thing though. Musk has done amazing things with SpaceX, setting the infrastructure that could, if asteroid mining really takes off, set us up for a post-scarcity civilization. But SpaceX isn't the reason for his immense wealth; it's Tesla, which at its core is just a fucking car company that for some reason is now worth more than the GDP of Switzerland. Do all his investors just expect the 20 something other large car companies to just completely fuck off and make Tesla a monopoly?

I just don't understand.
If you actually read the document, you would see that the document includes provisions for a court system under the very correct assumption that some people would read the document and come to different conclusions about just what the document means.

The document does have a court system, but if you read it closely you'll realize that nowhere in it does it say that the courts have the ability to rule on the constitutionality of anyone else's actions, nor does it say what the courts can do if the constitution is violated. That was a power that the courts themselves decided that they had. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbury_v._Madison for details.
This is the first time I have heard Steam described as a positive example in curation in a long time. They're terrible at it. And as others have pointed out here, they have a MUCH simpler curation problem than Apple or Google have to face. I think even Windows Phone or Blackberry have a bigger app curation problem than Steam has an app curation problem. And Valve's response to this is that they want to move to a model of even LESS curation, because running the disaster pit that's Steam Greenlight is too uncomfortable for them.
This attack is perhaps just a taste of something nastier.
The GitHub infrastructure is rock solid and gives valuable real time information via its status dashboard .
This seems ideal for measuring the impact of an attack before choosing a more critical target.
yes, i've been to taipei. it was clean. i don't know what shithole part of the city you stayed in.

you ever been to mumbai? or rio? or tijuana?
Intentional crash or intentional disappearance?
> You still have to roll your own CSS and any JavaScript

True, though you can automate those files (and any other text-based files) with Pollen as well, so you can use common functions and data across all of them.

Also, here's the previous discussion of Pollen on HN:

I'm a WordPress guy, so I am not a Drupal expert. But Laravel/Symfony and Drupal are targeting mostly different audiences (application developers vs website developers/website owners).
> I discovered that our local telecom ordinance (which gives Mediacom exclusive rights in our city)

Do you have a copy of the ordinance, by chance? Exclusive cable franchises are illegal under federal law. If you're litigious, you might be able to get the ordinance overturned.
I have a feeling people tend to over estimate the importance of language choice. Might be just me though.
OVH tried to do that with their Hubic service, and people were just abusing the limits, sending in data from multiple machines 24/7 (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=y&prev... ) . They now limit at 10TB for the old "unlimited" price.

This might explain this clause:

Actually, scalar type hint support makes PHP 7 marginally slower (more branches), though it could be used for future optimisations.

The speed boost is due to massive engine changes and internal refactoring.
I would argue that even if one didn't see the value in religious organizations, schools do provide a benefit or actual philanthropy. Most of those who pay for private school both pay taxes to help cover the overall costs of public education and also pay tuition (and make donations) to their privates schools. In essence, the private education is providing quality education without removing resources from public schools.

From the standpoint of churches, I agree that many of them perform little outreach to their communities. However, many of them do provide valuable philanthropic services such as soup kitchens, clothes closets, donated space for AA meetings, etc.
I'm guessing they said that because Heroku doesn't let you save files to their system. You have to use something like s3. Other than that, I see no reason why someone would say that.

You can save things to the tmp directory for a little while. The files should last long enough to do some work on them. For example, I've had an app parse an uploaded XML file that gets saved in tmp. This might not be a good practice, but I don't feel like setting up anything special for that app.
Why do we need a Linux server?
The split is always 70/30. If there are any uniquely negotiated deals, nobody's talking (and I strongly doubt there are).
This isn't really storing emails securely (in fact it reduces security in some cases - such as password resets) Most organizations have bigger email list problems than this - they are keeping email lists in spreadsheets, and other accesible places. In addition, those addresses may be needed for operational purposes - such as notifying some Customers of a breach or recalls on products. Emailing someone for either of these scenarios are not viewed as "Spam" by CAN-SPAM. in addition, you need a record of opt-outs to be CAN-SPAM compliant...using this technique actually makes you non-compliant.

In the end, the best thing to do is use a proper email provider or marketing automation vendor that can properly allow you to setup emailing preferences and opt-outs (and can enforce adding unsubscribe links, etc to ALL your emails). These systems store the date/time and IP address of the computer that opted out for compliance reasons. Finally - these systems generally will aggressively SUPPRESS from sending to unsubscribed users (even so far as preventing sending the same email twice accidentally) by marketing users accidentally.

While the stored email opt-outs can be used if hacked into - I would assume this would be just as bad as getting the rest of your list....in the end this is kind of security through obfuscation. The best remedy is to store ALL your email addresses in a secure, audited system that is protected properly and enforces email best practices across an organization.
Doesn't that make the donation philanthropic, with the express goal of the receiver using it to further their self-interest? That's still philanthropy.

Heck, what donation-receiver doesn't do this? Middle-men like the Red Cross count for both giver and receiver, so they're partially exempt - they give money / services they receive to those who intend to use it to further their best interest.
I too am implementing paperclip...but I am wondering about backing up the uploads. How do you backup those uploads? I was thinking that I would store the first copy on the host - then push them to s3 for backup (and maybe 1 other CDN, just to be ultra paranoid).

But, it seems to me, that if you are just passing through Heroku altogether - that removes one point of fault tolerance and redundancy - right?
I'm surprised :)

My disk seems to get hammered during compiles...
Censorship is not the solution, totalitarian Governments come from censorship. They are never good.

With free speech, it should come responsibility. You should be responsible for your speech, if it is false, and pay for it in a Court, but you should not be censored.

The problem is that the same people that accuse Trump of spreading misinformation with no proofs are the same that cheered on the New York Times and WP accusing Trump of being a Putin puppet with no profs whatsoever over years because they wanted to prevent the "legitimate transfer of power" as you say.

If what you say is false, you should pay for it, including Trump, but you should have the right to say it.

I don’t see Bitcoin being used directly to purchase coffees. It might be worthwhile to settle your credit card at month end via btc, but not for small payments.

Bitcoin has reached product market for for money laundering and avoiding capital controls. It doesn’t really need more to hit these valuations with inflation expectations and near 0 interest rates.
I switched to Chime.
I just got started with mbsync and am having several issues with Gmail and Outlook.com. These are old accounts and I do have well-behaved IMAP emails from smaller hosts, but it would be nice to manage everything with mbsync. Trashing emails in mu4e and then syncing results in them being deleted from my local [Gmail]/Trash while they somehow remain in the remote. I thought Outlook.com would be fine considering they use more standard folders rather than the tagging system which seems to result in duplicates, but I have the same issues there. This is with Expunge None, which I expect would leave emails alone until the server empties them from the Trash.

The bizarre thing is that no one online seems to have these issues? The mbsync configs for Gmail just seem to work for people, or something. I do have auto-expunge turned off in Gmail, so I’m kind of at my wit’s end with it. It’s a shame because it is an amazing program. It synced 10,000 emails without a hitch. I only started getting issues when I tried to sync from my maildir to the IMAP store.
do you think it has enough computer power to handle the audio signal?
As I said in another comment, if you know Bitcoin, you know it's a bubble. The pattern is predictable. Bubble, pop, 3-4 years later, do it again.
I think they just get overwhelmed. Which is a problem itself, but I don't think it's malice.
We used to do this by calling the house number, hanging up, and picking up both ends on the ring.
Computer maintenance doesn't exist for most people I know. If something gets slow or stops working, they ask a friendly wizard to magically fix it, or they buy a new/different thing, or they do without. It's not that people have learned to admin their own devices, most devices just don't have proper administration.
Thanks for reviewing the book. It's interesting that you came away with conclusion that I aim to teach-to-the-test, which is in fact diametrically opposite to my intent.

My main purpose with this book is to communicate to students the power of using mathematics to model the real world. For this reason I made a great effort to show the connections between the tools of calculus and the different modelling techniques in physics. E.g. I make sure this reasoning is understood:

(sum F)/m = a => integrate_t + v_0 => integrate_t + x_0 = x(t)

by covering it in Chapter 2, Chapter 4, and again in Chapter 5.

True there are some sections that are written more in a you-need-to-know-this-because-its-going-to-be-on-the-exam (e.g. integration techniques, and series convergence tests), but that's just the nature of these topics.
Qik was doing this ages ago. If I were to be cynical I'd say that this is different because it's backed by a big VC firm, which in turn gives them access to hype. But nothing more.
First time I heard of meerkat is when I heard that it was getting beaten by periscope.
You may well eventually solve the problem, but not on a timeframe that will be useful to anyone besides yourself.

~All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace

I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.

I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
Seems to be exactly what the president has ordered w.r.t. Colorado/Washington legalization of marijuana, which is a schedule 1 drug...
I didn't mean to come across as totally dismissive, more that it was something I was unaware of and was sad I couldn't find more detail about. Good looking with the link though. I'm reading through that section now but it doesn't look like there's any follow up on that claim unfortunately. Assuming generously they're paying 4% of the ticket price to process CCs, it seems like there's still a pretty good chunk money going back to the venue.
Carrots might be "the lucky ugly vegetable" because they can be shaped this way. Other vegetables aren't so lucky.

For those, there are actually campaigns that encourage people to buy ugly produce[1].

I'm sorry, but reading the translation of Quran, I can't believe it:

Those who wander from the way of Allah have an awful doom.--38:36

Take them [unbelivers] and kill them wherever ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant.--4:91

O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you--9:123

Those who strive against Our revelations, challenging (Us), theirs will be a painful doom of wrath.--34:5

Those who disbelieve will be gathered unto hell.--8:36

A painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.--9:90

As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not. Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.--2:6-7

We have placed upon their hearts veils, lest they should understand, and in their ears a deafness.---6:25

Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers--3:28

What can be pretty and poetic in that?
well at least I don't have to worry about lusting after the Android, after reading this list...

Many shy people tend to avoid situations where they think they may get rejected. I think the point of the experiment is to show them that they could be happier / better off if they didn't take rejections so personally / weren't afraid of getting rejected.
Yeah, it's true that performance can be so poor that the Haskell program can't get any useful work done. I was trying to express the spectrum from "perfect" to "tolerable" to "pretty bad" (and "unusable" does belong at the far end), where all the old unchecked languages only offer a cliff between "perfect" and SIGSEGV (or "random output" if you're really unlucky).
Unless the teachers are going to be individually contracted by parents, don't private-sector schools have the same evaluation problem? They still have to separate good and bad teachers via some sort of process, probably overseen by management (aka bureaucracy). The similarity of the agency problems is one reason corporations internally often look so much like governments.
So like a prison with life sentences! You could theoretically get out by a pardon -- but the only realistic way was to sneak out while hoping the guards missed, if they saw you...
This is my dilemma, I have an app, some say killer app, 'Math Keyboad' but im sure a very little market. I doubt I will ever make a belp, and of course now with the Wolfram App.... sigh.
What version do you use? I read that many of the plugins are not compatible with the new version of EE. Has that been your experience?

Also, is it easy for a single client to manage multiple sites?

I'm also curious how EE compares to Django ( I know it is not an apples to apples comparison)?
Second this. Looking for online vanilla demo.
There's a place for idempotency tokens. They're relatively easy to retrofit onto old systems, and occasionally they are the best way to go about making changes idempotent, but they should be a red flag – an indication that you should step back and see if maybe you can redesign an API to make idempotency a natural guarantee rather than something you artificially strap on with a token. As a rule of thumb, I would always mention the idea of adding an idempotency token, and prompt for alternatives, with all stakeholders present.

(In this particular example, I agree that an idempotency token is probably the way to go, as otherwise callers would need to somehow distinguish between their callers trying to create a duplicate account, versus something going wrong with them resulting in duplicate requests. I just have too often seen developers conflate "idempotency" with "use an idempotency token)
And then you discover non-ASCII world...
That's a pretty disingenuous take that completely ignores the lack of fabs and a global pandemic. Nobody knew what was going to happen and everybody made decisions that they regret. The industry is in the position it's in because of the sum total of decisions made by all actors over the last decade, not because the car companies made some forecasting mistakes. The car companies aren't the only ones who just-in-time their supply lines.
