Why has nobody mentioned the author Ben Bova? Especially the Astroid Wars trilogy.

Anything by Stephen Baxter, Arthur C. Clarke, and Isaac Asimov is a must read!
Giving the poor less free stuff != taking stuff away from them.
If the conclusions they've draw are illogical then you should point out why. Perhaps the methodology is bad. If so then state why. If you are unable to point out any of these things then why do you not agree with the conclusion?
Yep. This kind of stuff can also be done with vimscript, python, or ruby, but macros are short and terse and easy to write. Vim even allows you to record your keypresses and save them to a macro.
Has A.I. figured out how to simulate humility yet?

It certainly has a lot to be humble about...

It came up in a conversation around the office last week, but I haven't heard of a deployment in years.
I suspect doing this would run afoul of the Mac App Store guidelines. There is a bunch of language about trials, demos, licence keys, etc.

So... nice of them to say that, but I think it amounts to just lip service.

Similarly, why is Angry Birds available as a cracked download? There is a free version you can try out and decide if you like it. I call bullshit on the "try before you buy" axiom.
I really wonder if people just look at the title and see "Git deployment" and then assume it's exactly like all the other git deployment projects out there and then comment here. Or, if they actually _read_ the contents of the website and understand what it's all about.

If you read the website you will see that Git Pusshuten can do more than just do a simple "git push" like other solutions.

Git Deploy by Mislav makes the assumptions you work with: Passenger, Ruby on Rails, etc. Git Pusshuten doesn't make such assumptions. It allows you to deploy an application, regardless of whether you're deploying a Ruby, Python, PHP, etc application, to whatever web server by defining _your_ environment through modules.

Additionally, it allows you to provision and pre-configure your environment so you can be up and running with minimal effort and sysadmin knowledge. Other solutions will make you manually set up your environment by SSH'ing into the server to configure everything. Now, I am definitely not saying that that is a bad thing. I'm just saying that Git Pusshuten's _goal_ is entirely different from that of Git Deploy.

So what you're pointing out now would only work for people using Phusion Passenger and a Rack application. That's a limitation that Git Pusshuten is trying to avoid.
> I don't think a smart and good-intentioned person today goes into politics here.

I don't think this is a localised phenomenon. PG mentioned in one of his essays that following the industrial revolution and the rise of modern-day capitalism, a lot of the driven individuals who would have gone into politics, now decide to go into business.

Here in the UK, we had a lot of noise made about political reform this year after a fraught, tense election. Talking with friends about it though, we feel that nothing is likely to change until the type of politicians we have changes, and that seems unlikely to happen. All the people we think would make good politicians don't want to go into politics, and we end up with a situation where we just get career politicians who grow up with a particular way of thinking and a particular mindset regarding politics.

All the clever, driven people are busy running startups. Who'd take politics over that?

"The current evidence in persons who participate in elite sports activity, particularly in sporting groups susceptible to joint injury, suggests that these groups are at increased risk for OA as a result of their participation, but it is unclear whether participation in the absence of injury is harmful. "

Weight and other health issues are a massive and hard to control for Confounding variable in most of these studies. Osteoarthritis causes (weight, injury, bone misalignments etc.) are also likely to inhibit running. At the same time running increases the risk of injury.

Note: Most of these studies are also talking about jogging not running as running is shown to cause damage.

However, from your link "Researchers22 found a significantly higher incidence of osteoarthritis in men (aged 20–49 years) who were involved in high levels of physical activity (ie, walking or running more than 20 miles per week). "
I hope we will see more crowdfunding websites adopt Bitcoin. It allows projects to get a lot more money because basically all of the money could go to them.
I've been using olive oil based soap and it works great.
I agree with GP - that's quite anachronistic. I can't speak for Murasaki Shikibu, since I haven't read her, but I think the idea is quite discordant with the published thoughts of the others you mention. Socrates, for example, might have believed he personally had a specific purpose in the world, but he would have understood that in a very different way than our conception of a vocation.
This is kinda the Anti-Gosling and his "Don't use emacs" spiel. (http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/207799/don_t_use_ema...)

EDIT: That article is really golden. It starts with the silliness about not using emacs, without any clear reason why other than "not abiding to Moore's Law" (whatever that means), he praises NetBeans (as if) but claims "almost nobody bothers to modify its code because of its complexity", then, to top it off, ComputerWorld refers to him in that (and other) articles as "Father of Java", ignoring the quote at the bottom that says "People call me that because it pisses me off."
> So we could demand the project files to build it for iOS directly from Apple then? :)

Yes?

http://opensource.apple.com/source/JavaScriptCore/JavaScript...

It's from iOS 4.2 (http://opensource.apple.com/release/ios-42/), as JSC's source in iOS 4.3 is marked as "coming soon" (http://opensource.apple.com/release/ios-43/).
In legal regimes where you don't have vicarious liability for any activity short of activity that is authorised or abetted, having an open wifi could actually be a useful legal defence, compared to a situation where even though there is security on your wifi, you either get hacked or someone does something naughty but you're not sure who it was. You'd have a hard time proving this happened, and if you failed, the suspicion falls right back onto you; with open wifi, "ignorance is bliss"; the prosecution would probably have to downright prove it was your doing, because it would be hard for the court not to (rebuttably) presume it was an unknown user. At least in the UK, this is largely the case, though rightsholders have tried to force case law (Brown & ors v Polydor & ors) and legislation (Digital Economy Act 2010) in the direction of harsher vicarious liability.
If you build it, they will come. From recent days, give people a 1Gbps connection, with a decent upstream, and they'll use it despite what the market research claimed in advance (go go, Kansas). Time and time again, when you give people a useful tool they can adapt to their own needs, they will find ways to use it.

Give people the ability to define an object they want built out of plastic, and they will use it. Oh, how they'll use this. The ability to make any shape object out of plastic in your own home? The uses people find for this are going to be endless.
I find notification ads (or just constant notifications) to be really, really annoying. Free Power Widget does this, constantly telling you to buy the paid version every time you turn on/off wi-fi or anything else you put there. There has to be a better way to do this.
If you still want to give it a shot, it's great in soups. An easy Chicken Quinoa soup with carrots and celery, and a healthy dose of lime and pepper, is healthy, flavorful and fairly easy to make.
Have you done the financial models to check how viable the business model is?
We actually haven't touched TrailBehind in well over a year. We switched to developing iOS and Android apps, and we never looked back.

We do still use the TrailBehind data in our apps, and that's one of the main things that differentiates our apps against competitors. But we pivoted because there was no money in TrailBehind.

People are actually replying this time so it might generate useful/meaningful/interesting discussion? It would hardly be the first time that a duplicate submission generated discussion when the original didn't. On this site, 24 hours is (usually) dead and cold. 48 hours and rigor mortis sets in. And threads can't be "bumped" like in other forums, so a duplicate is the only real way around that.
To expand on this, I'm not saying that I think alot of programmers are idiots. (I realize now it could be taken that way)

What I mean is that as an industry, we're in the stone ages. What we're doing will be looked back upon the same way that look back at bloodletting that was practiced by doctors a few hundred years ago.

Just when I think I'm beginning to get a grip on things, a whole new layer opens up, and I start over as a beginner again. I've heard anecdotal evidence that programmers who have been around 30 or 40 years still experience this.
Today,I would keep it liquid, in safe banks, possibly SOME in actual gold (no I'm not a gold freak). A foreign bank with better reserve policies might not be a bad idea. Maybe some Euros or some other currency as a hedge, but that's it.
Not to sound too paranoid - just put it in a bank or two that have decent financials, within FDIC limits.

Stay out of the risk game for a bit.

Then plan to spend the next 48-36 months watching and studying the real-estate market, and stay out of debt. When the shit hits the fan and prices hit rock bottom, those with liquidity will be king.

Right now is not the best time on dumping money into risky investments (unless you really are prepared to take that risk - dumping 60k into really risky startups is more likely to cause you to lose 60k than anything else. it's called risk for a reason)
Did your supervisor think your work was good enough to attach his name to? I think that counts in the cheap labor argument, even if you aren't just a worker on the assembly line.

I think good advisors (should) enjoy supervising for the sake of supervising, but that doesn't mean it doesn't also boost their CV's.
I'm not trying to "save Android". I'm simply predicting that Google will continue developing and improving it because they are already shipping millions of Android devices and it has immense strategic value to them.

I understand that, but my point was that it's in principle possible that the exact effects of a particular genetic disease are hard to discover. Serum cholesterol is easy to measure, so it could be just the easiest to notice sign of a more complex metabolic modification induced by the specific genes. I doubt we are at a point where we can look at a gene and say exactly what it affects in the entire body.
The current Magic Keyboard has the weird arrow key layout that Apple already phased out again on its laptops. I also don't like how it feels to type on. But the ability to use a Lightning (not Thunderbolt) cable is a godsend on my Magic Trackpad 2, for some reason I'm getting a lot of lag with Bluetooth.
> in English, Chinese names are generally written given-family

Is that right? All the famous Chinese people I can think of are known in english by the family name first. Names of Chinese players of chess are always family-given in english.

I read after a moment's google that "Chinese people working in western countries usually adopt western order", maybe that's it.

Indian names I believe are similar, family or parent's name comes first[0], e.g. the ex-chess world champion Vishy Anand's name is Viswanathan Anand – Anand was/is actually his given name, but it's treated by english speakers as his surname. I read an interview where he said even he doesn't know any more which is his surname and which his first name hehe.

[0] Same in Hungarian, but always converted to given-family in english.

What's peoples experience here?
Yeah, Python has been the wonder child of the programming world for as long as I can remember. People have very strong beliefs on the subject - I remember how everybody went up in arms over the walrus operator (a := b) issue. I hope that all parties involved appreciate Python's position and longevity, while approaching the task of maintaining it with respect. I personally do not expect Google or any other Big Tech to be running roughshod over such a treasure anytime soon.
I prefer the more mean spirited "aggressively stupid", but I don't want to tempt a splintering of the "Hanlon's razor" people - I'm quite happy with the mental image I have of them already.
I'm in the opposite position; I've spent almost my entire five-year career focusing on one quite narrow tech stack and I'm good at it but I'm also sick of it and desperate to learn something new. I just changed jobs and I took a substantial pay cut for the chance to get professional experience in a new tech stack, which isn't ideal, but I really want to work with a new language and I don't know what else to do (there was no possibility of diversifying at my previous position.)

My point is that both the "short and fat" and "spikey" approaches have their pros and cons.
Well, bad hire, bad food can always be justified (avoiding hindsight fallacy). But giving away money for nothing received (meaning of donation) is something different (at least to me)
> And yet ... collectively we can only find enough money to pay two full time salaries?! Seriously?

But what’s the problem here? Is python struggling as a language? If there were clear calls for help companies could find it a lot easier to justify donating money or dev time.
It really depends on the depth of the snow.
re: strange chess variants

I scooped up a handful of Knightmare Chess decks when I saw 'em really cheap. Still haven't tried, but the idea of a chess variant with physical cards that Do Things to the game, sounded very interesting

It’s probably a bandwidth problem and they probably have more important things to do transmit than videos. Although I think a little bit of Showbusiness is probably good for NASA.
Yep. eyJ<base64stuff>.eyJ<base64stuff>.<base64stuff> is pretty definitely a JWT - if you see it in a log output you should probably redact at least the first and third blocks of base64.

But JWTs are generally somewhat ephemeral (they expire) so you’re fairly unlikely to commit one into a source repo in a way that could do actual damage...
Sounds good, I'll check it out.

I was mostly giving DAW as an example though, same would go to any kind of specialized software.

EDIT: unrelated but, from Reaper purchase page:

> If you own multiple computers, you may install the same license key on all of them, as long as you only use REAPER on one computer at a time.

I love this, let's not pretend people have a single computer. A have multiple linux workstations, and an OSX workstation. As long as it's me, the person who bought it, is using the software on different machines, I should be able to get away with single license.
I would second this advice :)

I fumbled and bumbled my way to this realization while trying to build a billing system intended to tolerate all sorts of invoicing and reversal scenarios.

More precisely, it doesn't matter what the nature of the billing is, ie recurring (monthly, quarterly..etc) vs one-time; You want to build a system around invoicing for discrete items and resolving those invoices against various criteria (payment received, credits issued, cancelled plans...etc).
They did this in San Bernardino and Riverside counties about a decade ago when the DAs refused to bargain over drug rehab diversions for non-violent/non-dealer defendants.

Nearly member of the defense bar (led by the public defenders, but including private counsel) convinced their clients to refuse to waive the rights to a speedy trial. SB and Riverside ran out of courtrooms to hold trials in by 10a that Monday, and were forced to ask LA and OC county for help. By that Wednesday, the backlog grew so large that defendants' cases were being dropped because the constitutional deadline for bringing their case to trial had passed.

The following week, both DAs gave in completely.
Love and Anarchy feels very fresh. I enjoyed the light hearted story, an opportunity to hear how IKEA language sounds, and learned a thing or two about modern Sweden.

Witcher universe is very East European, so this was another show that's not only epic, but it felt different from the generic fantasy. I am not sure how much can be attributed to the original franchise, and how much to Netflix production.

I am glad to see German series. How to sell drugs online fast, S1 was good.
Indeed. I have no reason to argue and no real need to persuade others - I just wish to observe and live my truth.
I think you underestimate the forces arrayed against this hypothetical chief public defender.

It's not like they care even a bit. And they wouldn't win any goodwill from it. If you have been zucked, you've been zucked, that is it.

Mario Kart 64 has the best mix. The Mario Kart 8 looks promising with innovative tracks (under water, glider, etc.).

Double Dash with its speedometer, slower speed and double seats was not "Mario Kart" that we know.
Ah, Free Pascal. It made me remember the first semester at my University where everywhere I looked I found Microsoft. I refused to do assignments and projects on Windows, preferring instead Linux (Slackware, then). In the first semester we studied programming in Pascal and I used the Free Pascal compiler on my Linux to learn and play with the language, while everyone else used Turbo Pascal on DOS/Windows.

Not that I'm disputing anything you're saying, but I am going by what the article stated that some of these writers claimed is their reasoning behind worrying over the surveillance. I just happen to agree with much of it.

What you say about the two different concepts is true, but they also go hand-in-hand in most cases. I see nothing wrong with any of the statements from the article or this thread.
It is really the case:

> Dear Developer,

> As we announced in October, beginning February 1, 2015 new iOS apps submitted to the App Store must include 64-bit support and be built with the iOS 8 SDK. Beginning June 1, 2015 app updates will also need to follow the same requirements. To enable 64-bit in your project, we recommend using the default Xcode build setting of “Standard architectures” to build a single binary with both 32-bit and 64-bit code.

djb gave a good overview of general ECC curves as part of his and Tanja's talk at 31C3: http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2014/31c3_-_6369_-_en_-_... I'd highly recommend watching it, it was very educational.

I agree there is a vast number. But the number of ones being fairly usable to a mere mortal is 0. If we're stepping outside theming services.

It would suck for the folks who paid tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege to teach in states like New York where a graduate degree is mandatory for public school teachers.

It's going to take almost two decades for the master's "bonus" to cover the cost of my wife's graduate degree.
This is easy to say but hard to do. "Based on excellence" is the mantra I've heard from software development circles for years and yet...

1. How many of us have lost productivity because some other developer ran rough-shod through code caring not for maintainability, readability, or even extensibility? Which one was praised and which one rewarded? Doesn't apply to teachers? Ever have a dud who couldn't do simple math in charge of the algebra class? Guess what the next teacher has to deal with.

2. How do "normal" people in managerial roles judge competency between two people in such roles? When looking at our own industry we see how difficult it is for "normal" people to make those sorts of judgement calls. Some schools require only 2 years teaching experience before moving on to superintendent roles. Some states more. With such divergence what can we expect?

3. How will we measure such excellence? What metric? What new system will evolve to capitalize on this metric despite the spirit of the metric? Unintended consequences?
> Plus, who's going to buy all that nifty "war on drugs" gear when the police no longer have "free money" to purchase?

FWIW it's generally gifted/granted to local police, though they do have to pay ownership costs.
I'm not a fan either, but in a sense we have no choice. We can't ask older generations what they meant, we can only hope that their values were passed on effectively. And where they aren't, we do not share those values and so shouldn't be constrained by them.

I don't think we should be reinterpreting the law to suit whatever goal we currently want. That kind of behavior is essentially corruption. We should be rewriting the laws to say explicitly what we want, why we want it, and how important it is to us.

Yeah, I note a lot of the people who say they hate having lots of old email at their fingertips never bring up the benefits of being able to pull out useful emails from years ago. I don't think they're lying, but their use case is certainly different to mine (and yours, I'm guessing) because I always seem to be that guy who kept an email someone else finds very useful. I have a paper trail for almost everything (and so does Google, but that's another story..)

Back during the netbook froth, they put XP on life support using a highly focused license that ended up defining what a netbook was (in essence a small, underpowered, laptop).

This while the early netbooks from Asus and Acer ran Linux installs that can be likened to ChromeOS, with a UI somewhat like Windows 8 Metro.

What they did may very well be considered market position abuse.
