Are you interested in hiring interns? (Embedded Systems)
That Pentium 90 is a 9W processor. Even after accounting for the inefficiency of a 90's era PSU, there's not much power to be saved.
Football analogy is probably actually pretty apt. You're playing a game where the vast majority don't get what they're hoping for, sacrificing opportunities along the way, while a large percentage get sports related injuries. The opportunity cost and actual cost of football greatly outweigh the likely benefit. Yet still, people think that they are the exception, and that the bad things can't happen to them.

I think that your latter point is fair, we do need people who are willing to challenge the squo, and we do need people with good ideas to try to make them realities. But going in blind doesn't help anyone, and ignoring the reality of the situation (which from your other comments, it doesn't seem like you're doing) doesn't let you think of potential solutions.
You mean whether to decide the number of events randomly? You could certainly do that, whether you do that or use the "ideal" distribution without sampling noise just effects how much noise you get in the computed/actual graph.

But maybe the order in which you add the events to these sketches affects the results? If so it might be bad to add X of flow Y before moving to the next flow.
I don't know. And half of appear to be operating out of India anyway, judging by the noise in the background on the lines.

Interesting thought. I was assuming that the impressive performance figures based on joining 10 tables together would be making use of indexes, because with full table scans it might be difficult to keep the GPUs fed with data.

How to Transition into Product Management Webinar Recording
I'm the creator of http://plnkr.co/edit/ which is a similar (but perhaps less 'professional') online web editor.

One thing that I find interesting is that Mozilla has decided that browsers have moved forward far enough that hosting the preview via `blob:` urls. I've experimented with a similar approach but had issues where different 3rd party libraries die unexpectedly when they are not dealing with http / https.
I really appreciate this, as I had to jump through a lot of loops to do so a few years ago. But I think that the browser should display a small alert when this API is called (like the webcam, or microphone).
>You're going to give me nightmares. I still get emails like this from a six-year-old version of my resume.

The first time I read that, I thought it said "emails like they were from a six-year-old". Which is probably also true.
Of course, this doesn't actually work, because you have two root elements in that expression. You have to wrap them in an enclosing tag or inject them another way.
joe you did not give this serious thought. Cars are highly regulated, you need to get a state-issues driver's liccense just to drive one, they need to be registered, etc.

I was going to just reply with "Horses give you the freedom to go anywhere, any time, without having to build roads or get a drivers ..." and then I'm like, wait a minute.... there's all sorts of stuff you need for a car...
The "not for public release" portion of that document (pp. 72-75) is not included in the PDF.

It's definitely a right of passage for roboticists. Now there are BarBot competitions and bartending robot startups -- so it's definitely an old idea! There's no way that ours from 2005 was the first, but ours definitely predates the patent (ie. is sufficient prior art).
> already fought in the 2k10's

Am I missing something? That sounds like it means the decade beginning in 2010 ... which we're still only half-way through.

Do you mean something like "in 2011-2012"?

[EDITED to add: Oh, wait, looking at the comments I think I see what happened. You already wrote "already fought in the 1990s", then someone pointed out that the thing you were talking about was a lot later, and then you changed the date. I'm afraid the result is a pretty odd paragraph, talking about a decade still in progress as if it's ancient history.]

@davidcollantes Sorry, can't respond to your reply.

Mainly, we aren't doing any validation because we don't want to do anything that will read your entries other than encrypting them. If this is a feature our audience is interested in though, there's no problem implementing it.
But it wasn't designed by an evolutionary algorithm; it was designed by a genius typographer who trusted his own sense of taste.
This is a big problem.

If you think someone is stuck and you offer to help, you're being condescending or mansplaining but if you think that someone is just in their process and working something out so you leave them alone, you're being cliquish and not welcoming to the newcomer.

Is the subculture supposed to change to fit the needs of the newbie or should the newbies be expected to learn to fit in to the subculture?

How to make breaking changes and not break all the things
> most hackerspaces tend to be full of dudes, or more specifically, white dudes.

> Women and people of color join hackerspaces all the time ... “Our geek cred is constantly challenged or belittled ... some dude is going to come up to you and act like you need his expert lessons in how to hack.”

If "white dudes" are becoming more aware that women and minorities are getting into tech and wanting to get into tech, many of them will want to help in any way they can, including asking if you need help. Saying that this is belittling is saying that there is malicious intent, which is alienating to anyone who wants to help spread their knowledge to new people.

Obviously this case is detectable, but it's detectable after it happens since permissions weren't correct in the first place.

Who keeps web logs these days? It's all spyware javascript tracking for pretty graph printing.

Plus, any notifications depend on actually instrumenting any monitoring or triggers or processing to even notice your "sensitive" content has been accessed out of context.

(and this is just web stuff. imagine how impossible it is to track who forwards your confidential emails or other internal documents around without your permission.)

This is likely not the problem they're trying to solve. This is more of a solution for selling files / access to files, and they provide (assuming) a proxy to that file so people don't just paste the link to the file everywhere on the internet. What you're looking for is to make your blog accessible only by certain registered users, and sell access for accounts. Unless you sell PDF files of the things you blog, then you could use this service that way.

They don't say much about what tools these places have. I heard about DoubleUnion in SF, and asked my feminist punk lesbian artist friend about it. "What tools do they have" was her first question. They have a laser cutter, a low-end 3D printer, some Arduino stuff, and sewing equipment. She wasn't impressed. She's taught at TechShop. She needs at least a small milling machine.

TechShop itself has many women members and employees. But that's in decline. TechShop used to let their employees take any class they wanted for free, and women were getting jobs there and learning all the machines. Their main welding instructor was a woman, and a cynical punker with colored hair overhauled the milling machines. Now TechShop charges their employees for classes and they have to take them on their own time. The result is receptionists at tool checkout who don't even know what the tools look like.

They didn't scale it right, I think a directory search combo would be the right direction. The directory sites are crawled and indexed, then you search like we normally search now.
Yes, you're (partially) correct...I overlooked that point. However, Dyson actually emphasized getting the best way to solve a problem, even if it takes longer. Sketching, prototyping, and testing allows you to get to the best solution instead of the first solution. Dyson's point about Frank Whittle was that he can get to the best solution on fewer iterations than most...something highly desirable in any organization.

From what I've read, the adult industry (or, more generally, the human desire to have porn) has pioneered technology in general. I can't recall the source, but I recall reading something that said that most, if not all visual media were used for porn almost immediately after their inception.

I think porn is also something where your architecture only needs to just work, so that encourages cutting corners and occasionally creative solutions.
> The U.S. was indeed terrible: very restricted competition on phones (two year contracts, models often specific to one carrier, etc.), prohibitively high data rates and extreme barriers to entry for anyone trying to build a phone-based business.

For the most part that was also the case in Europe, though countries started cracking down on some of the bullshit fairly early (e.g. the ability to move your number from one carrier to the other and requirements that phones be unlockable after some time). I don't know about the phone-based business aspect.
New CEO, new logo. Nothing new there. Probably changed the carpet too. They always do.
Edit: Looks like I was mistaken. See: http://aomedia.org/

It's important to note that this isn't a project to create a new codec. It's an organization to share the legal infrastructure for things like patent analysis and licensing agreements.

The Joint Development Foundation's website is not even video-specific, but invites any project to join operate under their legal umbrella.

To be honest, I only want to be ruled my a meritocracy if I can define myself as the most intelligent person in the world. (Or, in the upper 10% or something). A true meritocracy scares me. And this from a guy who was in the upper 10% of my high school (upper 4%). But I've seen much more brilliant people out there.

So who honestly wants a meritocracy either?

Another option would be that whoever works hard is taken care of. That sounds like the 1950s corporate job with a pension. It may be less exciting and sounds like it would produce less motive for innovation, but it is also less scary and a bit more fair than rewards to the affluent risk takers.

I have no idea how to get the best of all systems. So I make do in this one. I'm just pointing out that no system (known to man) is perfect.

It's not a "line of reasoning", it's finding the truth about requisites for achievement. Just because they bother you don't make them false.
Looks like the change that eBay did to it's logo last (?) year.
Can someone kindly explain this in terms of word-sized chunks of data made of bits, grinding through a Von Neumann machine, perhaps illustrated using C code snippets?
How ancient this all seems . . . until you realize people are doing the exact same thing by shipping "golden" VM/container images around instead of doing proper package and configuration management.
The prevailing answer right now is that the subculture needs to be infinitely accommodating to newbies.

This... is perhaps not the wisest answer, as it is the kind of thing that tends to provoke a backlash. Certainly, telling people that their culture has no value whatsoever does not generally incline them to welcome you.

The only viable solution I can see to the basic failure to communicate that you can describe is for either mind-reading machines to be deployed or for highly formalized channels to be adopted. The former are still being worked on and the latter just makes life harder for newbies, assuming they work at all.

execCommand[0] has a "paste" option, which pastes the content of the clipboard at the current insertion point. This allows for "reading" of the clipboard.

This article doesn't mention "paste" specifically, but the footnote[1] in the "paste" section says:

"[1] Before Firefox 41, clipboard capability needed to be enabled in the user.js preference file. See A brief guide to Mozilla preferences for more information. In Firefox 41 and later, clipboard capability are enabled by default in any event handler that is able to pop-up a window (semi-trusted scripts)."

This footnote is not attached to any other command, and thus "paste" is singled out. This could just be a documentation error, or maybe they didn't want to highlight that paste was also being enabled. I don't have a FF v41 in order to test what the actual behavior is.

Sure, but I'd expect that Apple would provide some API for you to designate certain tasks as intended to be run in the "Deep Background". With the understanding that such tasks are on a very short leash power and capability-wise, and may be arbitrarily cancelled—like iOS's forcible app killing, but at a smaller grain. (Does GCD have a facility for the dispatcher to unilaterally do this already?)
"Hey, whatcha working on? Need any help?" is different then "act like you need his expert lessons in how to hack." It is a lot about tone and sincerity.
