Git Cheatsheet (Visualization)
http://www.ndpsoftware.com/git-cheatsheet.html
Not totally related but here's a fun thing to think about:

In Greg Egan's "Permutation City", an alternative set of physical rules is devised that is designed to produce a universe resembling ours, but that is computationally feasible to accurately simulate. This simulated universe is named the Autoverse.

The protagonist spends her time manipulating molecules in Autoverse simulations, trying to invent Autoverse equivalents to biochemical systems that will eventually lead to evolution.

As sci-fi "ideas" go, the Autoverse is pretty fucking awesome. Egan then takes the idea and pushes it into insanely fun territory. It's a great read (and actually I'm pretty sure I found out about it through HN).
It's no surprise that an HTTP library doesn't have issues with the lack of generics -- it shuffles text around. Reusable data structures are the obvious case for genericity, and I don't see many in the docs. Once you have a higher-order language (whether via objects or first-class functions), some control structures become data you might want to use generically. Looking over Java's stuff also shows some interfaces one might want to parameterize over a type (e.g., Comparable -- what can you compare this to?, Future -- what type will we get from it?). Haskell also offers a lot of examples of really exercising polymorphism (like lenses, but those maybe aren't appropriate for Go).
Yeah they need the property tax real bad so at least investors will be incentivized to rent out their property instead of keeping their apartments vacant.
Isnt the entire amazon marketplace doing the same? Marking up cheap white label alibaba products by a couple 100%s and selling it to americans?. And then bragging about making millions with "dropshipping"
This is, BTW, just what you did by claiming the line is arbitrary.
Thank you Zed Shaw.. This is an excellent resource that has helped me to become what I am today.. I started learning Python using this book and he really takes time to ensure the readers understand what they are doing.

It may be too silly for you programmers, but almost every beginner programmers as me would have definitely cam across this resource. This has helped innumberable and I'm sure it will.. Thanks once again.
That just drives home how long it's been the case that Applicative wasn't a superclass of Monad! ;)
If I understand correctly, there is almost no way to stop this attack because it uses client side JavaScript code. If Baidu doesn't remove this malicious js from its http response, github will continue to suffer.
I don't think the public expects Facebook to be the morality police. Facebook believes being the morality police is in their best interest as they attempt to serve a central function in people's lives.
It's most likely the phrase Burlesque which is tripping the sensors (censors?). Burlesque has a very specific sexual connotation which is easy to associate as being against their T&C as presented in this article.

I don't believe, though, that something like Burlesque should be prohibited by the same rules which are designed to prevent dildos from appearing in ads, but I imagine it's a side effect of Facebook being an American company and many of its users sharing our prudish sensibilities when it comes to sex.
SHA1(salt || password) is an incompetent design that is debatably even easier to crack than the Gawker hashes. The insecurity of that construction is why we have PBKDF2.

If the entire knowledge you have of cryptography comes from _Applied Cryptography_ --- wait; let me extend that: if you even feel the need to cite _Applied Cryptography_ --- you should be careful debating crypto constructions. You're not going to end up happy.
> all CPUs that are likely to run your code are little endian

Alright, I'll bite. How is ARM (commonly Bi-Endian) considered a (1) "highly specialized" or (2) little-endian architecture?
Why would you assume no union intervention?
FireFox just follows in the steps of Chrome now. Whatever Google decides Firefox will just go along with it.
Article aside, EVERYONE with a marketing/technical blog should have an intro like fly.io does: a one paragraph explanation of what the service does.

It gives context for the article and immediately creates the possibility of converting people off nothing but the article, right off the gate. Blows my mind that it's one of the first times I see this done.
Unions cost money, in the form of dues from employees and expenses for the company. It's up to each person to decide if the benefits of union protection outweigh those costs in their situation. So far, for this Amazon warehouse, the answer seems to be that they don't.
On the same boat, I built an API to check for pirated links inside text content. I moderate a discord server and need to make sure no one is encouraging piracy according to ToS. I automated that using the API.

I have listed the API on rapid API. I have little idea how to get customers for it. I do think the API can be useful in many places. Any help?

And just the security implications of connecting to any open network. I could tap your viewing easily and possibly compromise your TV remotely by having it automatically connect to a hostile wifi nearby.
I can see this happening, but with a reasonable bug-tracking solution in place and enforcing `fix/...` branches for fixes, these situations could mostly be avoided.
>Not even electromagnetism is a single formula

"dF = 0" represents all of Maxwell's (homogeneous) equations in terms of "differential forms".

With the right pattern recognition, the right definitions, and the right paradigm shift, you can compress multiple equations into a single equation.

I would not recommend this for beginners at all. Not going down on Meteor but a traditional MVC framework gives beginners a much more broad understanding of web technologies that they can use with any language and most frameworks.
It depends on the type of tech startup and the stage of development, but typically a startup will need between $150k and $250k in seed funding (first round). A venture capital firm will usually provide investors with enough leverage to get up to 10% equity in a company.

If only Google Chrome would adopt this too!

Sarcasm aside, sites breaking or not working when analytics scripts are blocked is nuts. Is there a Wall of Shame for such sites (it may probably be the size of a search engine index)?

On the other hand, maybe that was the true cure for the condition and we, as humans, are too short sighted to see it because we have biological imperatives preventing us from doing the things that need to be done.

Nah, it's just a chatbot.
omg I was looking for this! I remember seeing this build on /r/battlestations or somewhere like ages ago, but I could never find it. (Googling for "carvac hepa filter" doesn't seem to yield any relevant results)
It's weird to see something like this pop up with such intensity years after the rebranding actually happened. I remember the "Mother, I joined the oversimplification trend" meme from back then, but the rest looks new to me.

About the Firefox brand: Moving an application to a brand is not new for Mozilla, which itself used to be the name of an application. After a while it feels alright to me for Firefox to be some kind of service provider, company or team ("Message from Firefox" sounds okay now). It just devalues the brand for the browser a little.

I wonder whether they'll have to come up with a new sub-brand for that ... (but who am I kidding, they'll probably discontinue it before that happens because they finally fully cannibalized it).
I’ve never understood how we know from all the research there is that your phone in your hand is a massive distraction while driving.

How is a much bigger screen, that is farther away and brighter and requires you to reach out for it not an even bigger distraction.
I would gladly pay for GMail as long as it includes an actual contract, where I would know my paid-for service is not going to be arbitrarily terminated for a random AI reason (or any reason, short of a legal requirement).
I disagree.

I hate IE, especially it's older versions. Dealing with ie 6-10 and all of their crappy warts and stagnation have made my life more difficult and objectively held the entire web back for years. But the reason why they are so crappy are not so much that they are made by Microsoft but because for much of that time they could be. IE 6 was way better than anything else at the time and for more than a decade after that, MS could just sit on their laurels untill others leap-frogged them.

Competition is good. Webkit and Blink are better now, but without competition, there will be no one to push them forward.
I was on campus when these guys were first starting out. I believe they setup camp in the same spot every week and hand out compliments to people. It's an awesome sight to see, and most people are more than surprised. It's amazing what two guys can do to spread cheer.
While I have great respect for many people whose lives have been changed for the better by LSD, I have never taken it. Many of the mind-expanding experiences they report are my daily experience.

To quote Salvador Dali:

I agree. I have found amazingly useful stuff from the people I follow on Delicious. Very high signal/noise when you follow the right people.
That code isn't the same as the original. The instance variable is being initialized via a block -- your function needs to accept a callback.
On the expired domain search, you can "star" a domain to look at it later. We'll add that starring option to the other tools ASAP.
It looks very polished. One immediate request: a way to create an account without going through Twitter or Facebook. It would also be good to provide a sample of the emails that the app sends - perhaps they're simply lists of links, but maybe not? (Ideally, I would love to be able to edit or customize those mails.)

Nitpicks aside, I think it's a great idea and a very nice interface.
OSC is very cool, but I disagree with the author's negativity towards JSON.

Different wire protocols are appropriate for different problem domains.

I shudder to think of the monstrous API spec that would result from trying to do something like, for example, FHIR with OSC.

There are many problem domains where readability is more important than wire efficiency.
A friend of mine writes http://www.hobbygamedev.com - Interesting articles about game development - some on a technical "this code accomplishes this task" level, and some on a more theoretical "what is a game" level
All of the non-tech readers are drooling, thinking

'Oh, don't worry about learning all of that business strategy, customer acquisition and marketing stuff, you can take on a friendly MBA to help you out with it!'

How do I know that they're thinking this? Hmmm.....

Yeah, and for the sandboxes, latency is the part that breaks the immersion. But it is straightforward to set up with a kinect and a projector.
> Why does she fall in love with the mute player character at first sight ? Don't she already have relationships ?

To be fair, it's heavily implied that Gordon Freeman is literally legendary among the resistance by that point. It's not a stretch that she'd at least be a bit star-struck.

But yeah, I'm always disappointed when I see Alyx near the top of "strong female character" rankings. Sure, she clears the bar for "character", which is better than ~95% of portrayals of women in video games, but that's not saying much.
You don’t see how people seek social status by vocalizing their loyalty to political ideologies ?

In my view I see it as a primary motivator, and I think people are unaware of this.

Take a look around you next time someone starts ranting on “Save the oceans” or Climate change — and as much as you know those individuals think about what is intrinsically motivating them.
Is there a full table of content somewhere?
Honestly, I suspect that long-term storage will be inefficient for a long time.

For example, batteries exceed 90% efficiency for storage, but they are only cost effective for day-to-day storage. (Charge when the sun is out, discharge at night.)

In contrast, charge during long summer days, and discharge during shorter winter days will probably be lower efficiency at first. For example, generating hydrogen by electrolysis is about 75% efficient (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production#Electrolys...), and then pressurizing it will also consume energy.

This means it may be more cost efficient to extract CO2 from the atmosphere as "storage" and then burn natural gas... At least until we find a better way to store energy than hydrogen!
Sadly there are far more workers with a broken moral compass than you'd think. Luckily, there are also enough with ethics and key positions to somewhat cancel that out, but I wouldn't say that unethical employers have a much harder time than ethical ones. It's probably simply a different spread on money/package/freedom within one such company. Plenty of people will believe what they are doing is justified and ignore any signs of cognitive dissonance if the pay check is right and internal communication is 'managed' enough by HR.
Cultural differences might make business in China difficult for internationals; political differences are what make it both ethically and strategically untenable. There's no comparison.
yup, of the 3 (mbp, iphone, ipad), my ipad pro is the only the only one i've updated with the latest OS, mainly for the improvements to multi-tasking windows and having the "today view" on the home screen. i've had no major (additional) bugs pop up yet.
Anyone else have it where the keyboard animates up in super slowmo?

I occasionally have it happen when pulling down to do a search and aside from it bring completely uncanny valley creepy it never quite finishes it’s animation so I can’t use the keyboard to type anything

Unfortunately I’ve not found any rhyme or reason to it to report the bug aside from what I’ve typed above “sometimes iOS is weird” would probably not get a response
I admit to not having read the article yet, but every time I see "this time it's different" it's a warning sign of delusion.
We probably need laptops with configurable keyboard layouts then, so that you can choose a variant when purchasing it and then replace it with different one if you find out you don't like it.

(And then, let's not forget that keyboard layouts are somewhat configurable in software. It's easy to bind pageup to mod-uparrow and pagedown to mod-downarrow. But it can't be done if the physical keys are missing, so physical keyboard layouts with more keys are preferable to those with less keys. Unfortunately fn-combos are usually hardwired in the Embedded Controller and can't be changed easily in software.)
He knows (Matt Levine always knows), and addresses that very fact in a footnote:

> To be clear, market makers are not required to do what the model tells them, and the “common sense” answer is perhaps ambiguous. Arguably the fact that someone bought thousands of these options means that the probability of them paying off is a bit higher than the model suggests. If you are selling way-way-way-out-of-the-money options, you probably should not be blindly following your model. Here is a story I likefrom Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
Author here. If anyone isn't familiar with Galois, we're a consultancy that does a lot of formal methods and proof, which is why it would be great if proofs were easier to manage :)
