My friend and I once wrote a python script to participate in Q&A contest (first answer will win the contest) on twitter. That running script actually prints an recent question of particular twitter handler and asks for prompt to type an answer. Once you type an answer (after googling or whatever you want), it just posts that answer in reply of that question's tweet. We also decided to hit the google search for answer and crawl answer but I think it would need some work.

If you are planning to build something please count me in.I am right now in the same place as you. I have technically sound and am looking for ideas to start working on.
In addition, the indifferent service at most book shops ( I refer to Dymocks, Barnes and Nobles, Borders and various independent local bookshops that I have visited over the years ) has meant that the interaction with Amazon is actually more pleasant.

Dealing with bored, uninterested counter staff at bookshops is about as rewarding as dealing with bored,uninterested counter staff at any other shop.
This is amazing, is the source available anywhere?

In my case the local bookshop [1] two doors down the street offers the perfect compromise: You order online on said website, then pick up the book in the store the next day. Typically faster than amazon, same offers, obviously same prize (because it is fixed in Germany) and a generally much nicer experience.

It's more that a business can't be a jerk because it's not a person. It doesn't matter if it's morally acceptable as long as it's legal. Morality is something you make up to tell other people that what you believe in is right.
Immediate idea is that scraping current complete product listing from amazon, ebay, alibaba and saving into database for public use. I am not sure one month is enough or those sites have anti-robots policy.

Another is crawling and indexing the internet to make another privacy-respected or specialized search engine(how to continue the effect one month later is an issue).

>You would get systematically longer slices than if all your slices are cut parallel to each other (and you ended up with the same number slicing the pizza).

You're only cutting once per pizza, so there's no parallel slices, so no such effect.

And allowing a dense set of possible parallel vectors from every angle is equivalent to rotating the pizza. Which obviously doesn't affect the sizes.
I've installed my Windows 7 license on three separate motherboards over the years (one system upgrade and one faulty board) and I never had a problem activating with my license key.
It'd have to be a lot more intelligent, and then some. It's quite a leap to go from matching "RT" and "win" to checking what kind of thing the prize is, whether it needs to be mailed or claimed, and what the location is where that needs to happen.
It would be interesting to explore the idea of reaction delay as a ranking signal. Perhaps by blind testing it against some of your other established signals of quality, and by seeing how well reaction delay can predict these and possibly other ( say, subjective ) signals of quality.

HM Revenue & Customs doesn't regard lottery winnings as income, so all prizes are tax-free – hurray! However, there could be tax implications once you've banked your winnings.

I'm struggling to find other answers, the Daily Mail's 'This is Money' website says the opposite is true and that it's counted as freelancer income.

http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/experts/article-2551709/I...

HMRC has produced guidance in the context of freelancers who win prizes and the short version is that they view most prizes as taxable income of the freelancer.

Grey area? An interesting area.

> More and more non-tech people I know are running ad blockers these days

As others have pointed out in this thread, an ad-blocker is like a condom in 2015 to protect you from malware, it's not just to claim back your privacy. Whenever I setup / fix a non-technical person's computer I always install it - even fairly legitimate sites have the "Download this to make your PC faster!" ads.

The point about people not knowing is a good one. Rather than focussing on building better ad-blocking technology, maybe we should focusing on educating people and getting DNT and such written into law?

ORMs are written by people and sometime have bugs. Also, they don't always return the same result for all the database managers.

Both this facts can bite you in the ass if you are not careful. It's great to run development tests on SQLite, but your CI environment, staging or whatever you have before you push your changes to production should try to mimic production as much as possible.
Can people not publish their own reviews and/or lists and use Amazon affiliate links to get a cut?

> The "parallel" technical career path never seems to deliver equal amounts of power, or even money, as compared to managers on the same level.

The scope of a person focused solely on technology is narrower than the typical scope of senior management, and does not typically cover key functions like strategy (i.e. top-level decision-making) and sales (i.e. revenue generation).

I'm not saying that the latter are more valuable than the former but I will just point out that there are plenty of examples of companies with great technology that fail because of poor strategy or an inability to market their product/service as effectively as competitors who have crappy technology but better (or, at least, more effective) sales and marketing.

I think that managers also enjoy leverage from the people/teams/resources they manage - a kind of reflected-glory halo effect. The equivalent for a technologist (e.g. the creation of technology that makes others more productive) is not as obvious in most companies for various reasons (e.g. senior management lack of understanding of the impact technology has upon their company, non-technical managers' greater focus on self-promotion).

+1 that conda solves "most of our packaging problems" in the science/data science world (I've lived within it for 1.5 years, it really simplifies things). I use conda on Linux, Mac and Windows for r&d and deployment for tools including numpy, sklearn, matplotlib along with flask, pymongo etc.
That would make sense except that in my experience all of that is far easier (law, tax, health insurance, etc.) when employees are international.

I think you should have a fixed position (perhaps you are eclectic) and try to convince someone, then try to change the position and think otherwise. To convince someone is to know about what they expect, some psychology required.

The best thing is to have something interesting to say. Why do you want people to read you? Do you have something interesting to say? Are you going to write a book?
I concur. I was quite late to jump on the e-book wagon (mostly due to DRM), but I am quite happy "renting" books on my Kindle, being aware of its limitations. When I read, I don't feel the pages turn, either with a dead tree book or e-book. I simply read the streams of characters, and my hand does some sort of strictly irrelevant gesture to move the stream ahead.

From a more practical standpoint, the possibility of storing loads of books on my Kindle is greatly appreciated. I recently spent a week at a hospital, and the Kindle entertained me through days of idle time.
You and another incredibly smart human have to chose an answer (of the three) in secret.

You differ you die.

Which one do you chose?

To me this is the correct answer. I don't think the other two would even be in consideration.

To some extent, that is true for me. However, for technical books or travel books, nothing beats having a physical copy in your hands, and reading it on paper.
No, most people prefer the convenience of digital text that isn't packaged into books.

The demographics of e-books are kind of shocking: the average reader is over 40. Most younger people only read what they can find for free online.

I had the good fortune to live near good libraries growing up. I can remember trays of these stereoscopic photos that were available for viewing in handheld stereograph viewers. This would have been around 1960, but the photos themselves were of much older scenes as are those in the NY Public Library collection. The photos were mounted in rectangular mounts about 10cm by 25cm. We only had three channels of black and white television back then so the old photos were at least of some interest even to a kid.

it depends of the mood of the engineer, if he is trying to solve a difficult problem then you could share his interest in case you are in the same roof for the problem, but he may be tired or thinking there are barrier that he will never be able to jump over and you could exacerbate that sensation if you don't know about the problem.

Perhaps that person has a blog and you can understand what he is doing and what are his goals, that should be interesting. The impression you give depends of what the other person expect from you, are you ready for the work you are supposed to do?
It depends upon what kind of book you're looking for. What you say is mostly true for textbooks, potboilers, and the like.

If, on the other hand, you're looking for something like an affordable version of Galbraith's "The Emperor and the Wolf", you're better off asking at your friendly neighbourhood bookstore.

If you're in Bangalore, I'd point you towards Blossom's, Select or Goobeys (all in the vicinity of Church Street). Not only is their selection fairly eclectic, but you get a good variety of used books as well. Pretty much nothing - Flipkart or Amazon - comes close.

> In 2015, when I see and use software that doesn't subtly prompt the user to undo actions for a short period of time after an interaction I just shake my head.

Subtly prompting is not enough, keeping a recycle bin or undo-stack is much preferable. The android photo app is a great example of this. By sliding right or left you move to the next/previous photo. By sliding the photo up you delete it and then move to the next photo! The only notification of this is a subtle prompt at the bottom of the screen: "Photo deleted - Undo?"

I gave my tablet to my mom to browse through photos, guess what she did to browse to the next photo: swipe up. She didn't notice the subtle prompt at the bottom of the screen and ended up deleting half of my photos before she noticed it, by then it was too late as the undo only worked one step back. Luckily i had the photos stored elsewhere also.

Afaict, to not be unuseable restrictive, the extension has to at least have access to the originating site by default. Thus the security of the data depends on the originating site to be secure against leakage – a property no site is designed to accomplish. Just follow through with the first example of Gmail: An extension can write emails to arbitrary third parties (and erase it immediately after to cover its tracks) by using only the intentionally provided functionality of the site.

Since when does JDBC abstract the real DB in theory?
All JDBC does is provide a common interface to execute a statement and receive result sets.
Couple random pieces of advice:

1. Learn management, even if you're never going to use it. Everybody in this world has a manager. The more you know about the job, the better integrated you can be with others, either as a manager yourself or working with managers. That 3-way diagram? Holds true at the developer level as well.

2. Management ain't programming. When I learned to fly airplanes on instruments, the toughest thing was realizing that I had to rely on the gauges and fight my natural instincts. Likewise, if you've been a super-cool coder for many years, you're going to have to give up those coding and architecture instincts and learn people management ones. I see far too many extremely smart people try building and managing systems of people just as if they were computers. Wrong answer.

3. Ambition is fine. Being a jerk is not. If you like managing, you need to realize that it's always a gut check to make sure you're doing the right thing, and you very well may end up in a position where it is better to leave your current company and go play somewhere else than it is to continue. That sucks, but there's a difference between being a cog in a machine and being a professional. Be a professional or don't do it.

Will this show a warning?

for (int i=0;i<LEN; i++) {
for (char c=0; c<255;c++) {
if (tainted[i] == c) {
untainted[i] = c;
}
}
}
send(untainted);

If no - protection doesn't work obviously. If yes - almost all variables are tainted (you don't usually read stuff that doesn't influence codepaths or global state in your application).

In the promiscuous world of imperative programming there's millions of ways to introduce dependency that can't be automaticaly checked.

For more complex - you can have workers/threads doing while() { sleep(), next_letter; } and other workers killing them after calculated time.

Or you can get different number of pseudorandom numbers from generator with known seed in one loop depending on tainted data, and after the loop untainted data is set depending on the current random number from the same generator. Calling rand() taints the generator.

I thought they would just mark the whole etension as tainted once it reads tainted data. And then any communication with other sites show the warning.
Get some practical experience apprenticing under another company, and (most importantly) pay off all your debt. Let your first mistakes out the gate be someone else's liability, and turn those mistakes into ideas for when you eventually set off on your own.
