Given that (1) the acquisition was almost surely for the talent, and (2) you deeply care about the space, you might consider getting in touch to see if you could take over or maintain DabbleDB.
There are things that are missing, but you can modify them. Examples:

I use Ctrl-6 a lot in Vim, but Evil mode only implements it as Ctrl-Shift-6. But it's easy to create the binding (especially since the function that implements the functionality is already there).

The :sort command doesn't exist, but there is :sort-lines, etc.

The other thing that is a bit lacking is folding. Emacs doesn't have folding baked in, and there are several folding implementations (outline-mode, hide-show-mode, etc). I haven't found a good setup of all of the z* commands for folding. spacemacs does a good job of setting them up for org-mode (which leans on outline-mode for folding), but also doesn't implement zj / zk folding movement bindings.
Not really civil, no -- considering that those kinds of posts are considered appropriate, and that I've been around a couple of years longer than your account shows you've been, and so would more more likely know what's generally OK here and what's not. "You aren't funny" is just rude -- see PG's extortions about not saying something here that you wouldn't say in person.
Indeed, sending 1.5m emails is not a problem. not even close to.
When I took math in elementary school, in the 80s, it was self paced. You really didn't get an F, you just kept studying a topic until you could pass it at 90%. On the other side, if you could pass a pre-test, you could skip the topic. It really enjoyed, because I could learn some topics in an hour, which would normally be 10 hours of boring instruction.

It was a little more work for the teachers, since the system admitted that kids were at a variety of levels, but it was roughly a normal distribution, where a whole classroom of kids were on normal pace, some were a little bit ahead or behind, and a few were way ahead or behind. It seems like adaptive learning software could make this even easier.
I think you're thinking of the inverse cosine function arccosine. The reciprocal of the cosine function is known as the secant. I do not know if this is specific to English speaking countries. However the Chinese version of wikipedia suggests it is:
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/反三角函数
Nothing in the article is actually a technical flaw - it's mostly UX. That's not to say the system is good, but I think the title is misleading. If you look at the paper "Chip and PIN is Broken" by Murdoch et al (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5504...) they actually point out a MITM attack which is a technical vulnerability.
A simple, primitive way would be something like this:

- connect to the stmp server of the service in question
- log in with your username/password (the server now verifies you have access; it's nothing interesting so far).
- in case one has access, the session is done as usual.

Up until this point, there's nothing else needed but a properly configured SMTP server which can authenticate against whatever database you have.

Past this point, the email would get transferred to a program, like procmail, which processes the e-mail. It digs out the contents, and whatever other meta-information it needs.

Then uses the service's API to post the message.

This is an easy way to do it, but it doesn't scale all that well. However, it's fairly simple, and can be used as a learning tool.
The big things that Haskell does that no-one[1] else does are a) strict separation of the parts of the program that do I/O or otherwise change some sort of global state and b) lazy evaluation, which means evaluate a function only when it is needed to do (a). The compiler enforces (a).

(a) is a big deal because it makes it very easy to reason about what your program does, which is handy because (b) is the opposite :-) but makes certain kinds of computations very elegant to express.

Are there any references that detail the new inliner?
For 3DS enabled site in France (don't know if it's the same elsewhere) it sends you a code by SMS that you have to enter in the popup. I think this is a much better way. But I have to agree, the process is really not well thought out and as bad as it can be UX wide.
Thanks - that looks quite interesting. Do you offer anything that cleans up the HTML but preserves formatting and images in the article?
PHP minor releases are bug and security fixes. But as long as the latest minor release fixed a vulnerability, in 99% of the cases, you can assume that all previous versions contain that vulnerability. (I know, I know, regressions do happen)
Its also not niche because a lot of people compute and buy shit impulsively when drunk. So I hear...
If Tweetdeck is mostly contractors, I hope we don't see another HuffPost syndrome where people walk off because they saw things as being unfair.
I agree with you. I did not mention the bar of quality expected by the client.

That is fall under the "negotiation" phase between the client and the service provider. There should be some sort of agreeable quality other than "I just want the best of everything".

But the rule might be different for "product" based company than the "services" (consulting) based.
Khan Academy is definitely a good step in the right direction but still lacks the one on one interaction with a knowledgeable mentor some students need in order to ask varying questions and receive the personal answers suited to their rationalizations. I think a great next step for Khan Academy would be to try to create partnerships with willing schools and universities to accommodate their current learning material and structure.
Update: fixed.
You re spot on. Whether the protocol needs to change with changing times and network speeds is an entirely different question.

1) You don't have to set up Google Checkout on your phone, you can do it from any computer with a browser and web access. (Your phone is already associated with your Google account, so once your Google account has Google Checkout details set up, you're good to go.)

2) Carrier billing was enabled for T-Mobile several months ago. My understanding is that it will be coming to other carriers as well.
TFA says yes, GoDaddy didn't know what was happening.
Yeah, mine is to not get sucked up by any "-ism"s whatsoever.
Somewhat of an aside: if you don't believe in free will, why do you think we should live our lives like there is? It seems a bit to me like not believing in a god but taking comfort in the idea of a heaven-like place after death; or having a solid grasp of probability yet not saving for retirement because one day you'll hit the lottery numbers.

I'm not saying you have to have a good answer, I'm just curious. The fact that you are quite specific about what guides your life yet are quick to act in opposition to that is somewhat intriguing.
They used c# because Jeff Atwood was a c# developer. 8 or 9 years ago it was a lot less common to be effortlessly multilingual, changing stack was a lot of effort. Mainly because SO didn't exist! So you had to hunt through reams of text to find answers to simple questions, that now you google and the exact question has been asked on SO and answered. I can't emphasise how painful switching languages used to be.

I suspect if asp.net MVC hadn't been out, it would have been written in webforms.

I seem to remember asp.net MVC had only been out a couple of months when they started writing it or not even fully released, I was learning django at the time because MVC so was so obviously better than webforms. But because c# was so much faster than either ruby or python, when asp.net MVC turned up, and it was very, very good for a v1, I stuck with c#, as did many other .net programmers I suspect.

At the time SO was written rails and django were still new and slowwwwww, php was king and still mainly written by page without frameworks, Java who knows, and the MVC revolution was just starting.

I'm not sure what you think he would have written it in? I have a feeling if you hunt through coding horror you'll probably find a post from the SO start time period saying "use what you know". In Jeff Atwood's case that's C#. I know that Joel's company had written their own language that I think at the time was still in use, so they wouldn't use the fog creek stack. Which was still based on Microsoft stuff anyway.
I think the issue here isn't the content of the images, but the fact that the positions align, zooming in on the sphere.

FTA: " Instead, the patent covers the basic technology that, for example, allows Google Earth users to fly over the earth to a particular destination"

So if Google's system uses the same techniques/algorithms to move around the sphere (and these images are pretty convincing) it would indicate some copying of IP. Where to position a view of the Earth in 3D is pretty open ended, that's why the similarities may be less than coincidental.

The RPi compute module is intended mainly as an embedded unit that simply provides the compute power, not all the other peripherals that are not needed for most embedded applications. It's in a sim form factor to allow easy integration into other systems, no one is going to build clusters out of an RPi, but they are useful for (large) embedded systems.

This sounds a bit like a Greek Hoplite Phalanx.
Which is also a good recipe for a stalemate.
You've got it wrong. OOP'ers have no problem using FP. It is die-hard FP'ers who would disparage OOP whenever given the chance.
For systems like rubygems and npm, a build tool that installs the gems with sudo on a clean system and flags obvious issues would be a good thing.

Looks like one of us will need to man up one of these days and make a decent debugging experience. I'm just worried that the people at the helm of Go aren't taking this seriously enough. I've seen one or two quotes with them indicating that they believe printf is enough.

If you want Windows developer mindshare (keeping in mind that a fair amount of gamedevs are Windows/VS users) you're going to need some competitive tooling, they will give you tons of leniency, but if you ask them to printf they will go running back into the arms of the Visual Studio debugger.
I wouldn't want to keep a tab open just for the whatsapp web page. This makes a world of difference, great job!

You do understand that YC China would have been an enormous change, right? They barely started doing NYC this year.

The default answer is simply "no"/"not right now"; not a ton of explanation required.

It seems weird that in a blog post about a new format for tokens, there isn't a single example of what a GitHub token now looks like.
I'd like to see a comparison of the competing interfaces. It's not about the functionality -- as Facebook has shown by attaining the large majority of its users after the Notes functionality was included, the ability to blog doesn't keep users away. If you present yourself as a blogging site, however, and no one wants to blog, then you're in for it.

I think it'd be interesting to see if there really was something better about the Facebook interface or if this whole thing should be blamed on network effects. People used Facebook when it was new for the same reason they use it now: the people they know also use it.
Well, that was a stupid waste. At least I can take solace in the knowledge that this man is inhaling a significant quantity of toxins.
Care to list some examples? (Not that I disagree)
You could flash a version of Android that uses magic to communicate instead of radio waves. Duh.

(The irony is: you can't flash your own build of Android on most devices, and most Android builds are not 100% open source. Cyanogen is pretty close, though.)
I also tend to use orbitz to find the cheapest fare and then book with the airlines. Orbitz, expedia, kayak, they're all about the same as far as I'm concerned.

And for hotels I'm mostly using hotwire at the moment, in combination with betterbidding which has so far had 100% accuracy in predicting which hotel I'm going to get... or at least correctly predicted that I'm going to get one of two equally palatable alternatives (Airport Sheraton vs Airport Hilton? Who cares?)
oh yeah, i forgot aol still was alive and well. :-/

"You've got mail" bahaha so laughable 15 years later.
Yeah, I suspect that the "users weren't sophisticated enough" is bullshit.
This seems a little ahistorical and antropocentric to me.

No, the principles involved are absolutely universal. They have to deal with the Shannon limit on Altair 4 just like we do here.

A fellow Perl hacker would recall that there's more than one way to do it. And the Mojolicious internals don't look like the Dancer internals.
You need to change the way you frame this phenomenon. Don't think of Emacs as an editor, but as a fully-introspectable and runtime-modifiable OS built on the "plaintext is king, but 2D" paradigm, that has a high-level language runtime (elisp), and comes with a set of default applications, one of which happens to be a text editor.

The desire to never leave Emacs isn't about making it slightly easier to view e-mails next to code. It's about making it possible to use the same autocomplete, same syntax highlighting, same recursive regex search, same multicursor editing, same whatever "magle this thing and put it in your calendar" hack you wrote the other day, on anything that's made of mostly text - e-mail, chats, code, prose, process lists, directory listing.

You'd probably have to experience it to believe it, or at least see some Emacs-as-OS user live, but this unification of all computing under a sane, end-user programmable, highly ergonomic interface can boost your productivity and experience in a way that isn't seen anywhere else today, not even during regular Linux use.
> I'd like to think that now, with some distance, I have a much better picture of what to do.

OK, what, please share!! You told us what didn't work, in retrospect with distance, what would you have tried differently?
You certainly can, what stop you from it? You never had a disagreement at your work? You never tried to convince them that their decisions were bad? Then you were "subverting them"...

The fact that you were disagreeing with their ethics or politics doesn't change a single thing.

It's also completely useless and hurt the conversation to do personal attacks like saying it's "crazy" to not share your opinion.
I've seen posts about how to set up vim as a frontend for a headless Eclipse server, but it always looked to me like the payoff wasn't worth the effort.
Not related to the monopoly stuff but I like HP calculators best! For college I used an HP 35S—it’s a programmable scientific calculator and fun to program because it uses RPN stacks for calculations and storing results.
I think this quote basically says that "a parent's self-control correlates strongly with the parent's perception of a child's self-control" and this somewhat undermines the conclusion wrt heritability.
I have lines in my .emacs that go back to when I used gosmacs.

I constantly add to my setup, mostly for email handling, though. I have a filtering system built in CL on top of MH-E on top of nmh.

>Yeah, well, it's easy to make bets on events that will still be playing out hundreds of years after we are all dead, isn't it.

Is that why you lead off with a fine example of it when you said that Fukushima was "about 100 times worse" than New Horizon?
On the other hand I think this definition of art is too limited. Are sandwich's art, of course not but art is about creating and communicating beauty/emotion from were it didn't exist. Is software art, it's hard to say. I tend to think software/code is something else. Some that is newer and different than art but that borrows heavily from art. I guess the difference is that I think the code itself is the art rather than the output. That said I may be to close to have a fair viewpoint, I've named two companies based on variants of the name Code art.
They can be useful. They can be actively harmful. These are compatible statements. They are true of any tool. The more powerful the tool, the truer they both are.

The problem is when the statement becomes "<tool> should not be used because it can be actively harmful." Better is "<tool> should be used with extra care not to cause harm", which is much different.

I do think that it's useful to compare the biology of crustacean and mammalian dominance hierarchies, even given that many people will confuse the descriptive with the normative.

In a scientific epistemology, taboo subjects are taboo.

This was an invitational. I suspect without any supporting evidence that they tried to keep this to to Nascar participants # 1 for the familiarity it brings the fans (Go Jr!) but also because I doubt a ‘real’ racer would have won the race had the best of the online only competition been allowed to complete. And after watching the race it was sadly just as good as a real race. They have become quite boring the last few years.
I got back from a big conference in SF on March 28. Came down with a sore throat on the 30th. A huge percentage of the people I know who attended the conference plus two of my three kids in SF all came down with the same thing at the same time. In other words there is a much more virulent epidemic going on in SF. R0 is probably something like 10.
And after that you just need iPad ports of all other Mac software that Apple uses internally. What do they use to do their graphics, video, CAD, etc?

Japan attacked other asian nations to imitate UK and US, and defend against UK and US.

Japan until mid 1800s was happily doing their own thing, and not caring for their neighbours, suddenly they had US metal ships on their docks, and the mighty China falling to UK.

Their solution was outright imitate what western powers was doing, in several aspects (even clothes, mannerisms and cultural trends were copied), with the most important one being to act imperialistic, invade weak countries, and try to build the most strong military that you could, using resources from all the colonies as needed.

Japan was only following a bad example set by the western powers, and trying to not become China.
The UX of an iPhone is much better than most legacy card terminals and as others have said, many people already own one and thus wouldn't need anything other than installing an app.

Is it a private company? How much control does the CCP need to have over it before it's recognized as an arm of the state.
