You beat on your skills non stop and always be creating a product because when you create products that hones your skills in many areas of programming. Also, spend your time answering questions on stackoverflow. SO has been an invaluable tool to improving my skills.
Where to get free sky3ds game to download?

The one quirk about KSA business visas is that they require not just an invitation letter (which is pretty standard), but Chamber of Commerce approval for said letter, which usually takes forever... which is why the usual approach is to go via an agent, who can magically get the approval in a day or two in exchange for a "facilitation fee" of several hundred dollars. Which was a handy preview of how a country can be both filthy rich (at least if you're in the 1% that has "al Saud" in the family name) and still thoroughly corrupt.
Which is the best value-for-money site to register a domain name https://www.google.com.sg/#q=domain+name ? Any recommendations?
Yep that was interesting. I am part of a Google Apps trial at work, but we don't have the resources to stress test it so I have never seen it under large simultaneous load (seemed to handle it fairly well though).
No?

I'm pretty sure the article was more about the amazing architecture (see: pictures) and it may help with water retention for small amounts of the population. It's no silver bullet.

Yes, but these are pretty much the only fields where this is the case (ignoring the almost worthless MD).

That's a well-known anomaly.
Not that there's no benefit, but just that it's more complicated in a distributed system.

Certainly caching is vital to many distributed systems, but it has to be done from a systems perspective. In my experience a lot of caches are just slapped on top of individual components without much thought, and without even some basic monitoring of what the hit rate is. I think it helps to actually measure what the cache is doing for you -- but this is more work than adding the cache itself.

And I agree with another poster in that I've seen many systems with caches papering over severe and relatively obvious performance problems in the underlying code.

I was thinking of this Google publication which outlines some problems with latency variability: http://www.barroso.org/publications/TheTailAtScale.pdf

Interestingly they didn't seem to list caches as one of the causes; they list shared resources, cron jobs, queuing, garbage collection, power saving features, etc.

From the article: "Several times in high school she had found herself attracted to other girls, but believing her parents and church did not fully accept homosexuality, she had pushed aside those feelings."

This reads more like a gay issue than a school pressure issue. The author of the article may have an agenda - by the same author, "A University Recognizes a Third Gender: Neutral", "A Gender-Neutral Glossary", and "Writing Around Gender".[1]

The Huffington Post has an article about suicides at MIT: "It's not good enough to be "very good" or God forbid, just "good." Excellence has become the new average. What a burden for kids, especially those whose boats don't rise with the tide of increased expectations and higher and higher standards."[2]

Here in Silicon Valley, there are now suicide-watch guards at the three railroad crossings near Palo Alto's Paly and Gunn high schools. Infrared cameras are being installed.[3]

>Grant writing is a very painful form of writing and I have relatives that have made good money by being good at it[1]. I do believe it would be tough to do research and put the time in to be an acceptable grant writer. Something has got to give.

I have tenured professor relatives and the thing that usually "gives" is the time spent on the actual research. From what I can see they spend a little time teaching, a little time managing grad students, and a lot of time grubbing for grants. I don't consider them scientists at all - they're middle managers.

It's an enormous waste of talent.
Antique Typewriters: The Underwood 1
1) play.golang.org is a popular feature of Go. Why not have better versions ? (e.g. an IPython/Jupyter kernel)

2) Golang depends on code generation for a lot of it's features. Executing generated code immediately could be helpful.

3) Very quickly execute small tests - one of my favorite python and java/eclipse features that I find somewhat lacking in Go and very much lacking in C++ development : Unit tests that execute before you've fully processed the fact that you pressed the test button in the IDE.

4) Security isolation of parts of programs would be useful

5) Same with various other isolation principles - memory usage, cpu usage, ...

6) I've always thought that Go's best feature is that it's pretty good at compiling different processes into one binary that then work pretty independently. But as I've been making bigger programs I find this less and less true.

Truth is, we need a programming language that is an operating system. Sort of like Erlang, but euhm, somewhat more usable. Go isn't that language. A language where you can start up a thread with $megabytes memory available, $cpu cpu allocation, kill if it goes over it for more than 2-3 seconds and restart after waiting 500ms. Something like that. It needs to be a language where you can really do separation-of-concerns - optimization if compiled into the same binary - minimal code changes to move a specific service to a version running on a different machine.

Yeah, I see your point.

Is nutrition really that hard for people? It doesn't take much, just avoid the obviously bad stuff like candy, pastries, and anything non-dry that can stay fresh for over two weeks without freezing.

You don't even have to eschew sweet stuff, just opt for the artificial sweetener. They don't add hidden calories and [probably] won't give you cancer despite what the FUD says.

And in my experience, people who do eat the bad stuff, start craving more real foods when they exercise well. The body needs nutrients and it will ask for them. You just have to listen.

But I'm probably out of touch with how hard this is. It's been years since I started fixing my diet.

There certainly are better examples[1], but I think you are being willfully obtuse.

Why would there be "legal issues may restrict use of an interpreter in iOS applications"?
Except one is illegal and one isn't. I'll let you figure out what's wrong with your argument.
The author of the article may have an agenda

Or maybe they are a journalist with a beat. Not saying that's definitely the case here, but someone writing on the same topic repeatedly is hardly rare - it's usually because it's something they've researched deeply and are knowledgeable in.
If you want to be precise, it doesn't make sense to talk about _one_ shuffled or randomized deck.

Randomness strictly speaking only makes sense for distributions, not for particular instances.

If you have any probability distribution of permutations, then shuffling doesn't make it less random (ie doesn't decrease entropy), no matter how bad your shuffle is. As long as your shuffle does not depend on the state of the cards.

A random shuffle might, by chance, return a specific deck into a fully sorted state.

Because Go for iOS is a thing now, and iOS is the only platform currently that would prohibit the use of run-time interpreted code.
As with everything, you can become too focused on a formula as your 'winning solution' or 'silver bullet'. YC is a formula. There are many formulas to success.

I'm only in my 20's- but reading through this 'early indicator' list [1] has me somewhat concerned about myself. But I don't know how much of that is it just being late and me being convinced I have every neurological disorder I happen to read about.

Why would you put garbage in your production databases?
Lebron just didn't cut it
How I handle kill switches is to first make sure that all code related to catching is just that. If it gets tied anywhere into the data saving logic or even worse, the actual business logic, you are screwed. I tend to manage this by keeping caching as part of a strategy pattern so I can enable or disable stuff using config parameters when starting the app. End to end testing with casper/selenium always runs with cache turned off unless I specifically want to test cache which I actually never have now that I think about it.
Interpreted code is now allowed on iOS. You just can't run code that has been downloaded over a network with the exception of content loaded in a UIWebView.
I wonder how much of this stress is caused by technological advances. I bet Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. is making these poor kids neurotic.
I must admit my BS detectors are set off when anyone claims that their own little field of expertise is going to have a major impact on brain dynamics and quantum technologies and quantum gravity.
Oh geez. Don't worry about it. Classic "webmd hypochondria."
The VPs of engineering that I know combine a deep knowledge of engineering with a deep knowledge of the business. They're comfortable talking with executives, marketing people and customers as well as engineers. Before they were VPs, they were senior development managers who had other managers reporting to them. (I'm not a VP of Eng., but my direct manager is one.)
> Nationally, the suicide rate among 15- to 24-year-olds has increased modestly but steadily since 2007: from 9.6 deaths per 100,000 to 11.1, in 2013 (the latest year available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

I possibly missed it but how does that compare to on campus? the supposed point of the article.
Twitter was doomed when Facebook acquired FriendFeed in 2009. After that point Facebook took the lead and Twitter still seems stuck in 2009. Techies love the product because it is stuck in the past like an old BBS, but the reality is that time has passed them by.

For me the proof was when I used the self serve ad platforms on both services: The level of sophistication of Facebook's service seemed to be years ahead of Twitter and delivered better results.

Also the harsh reality is that Twitter never really solved their troll and spam issues. Twitter is great if you don't want anybody to know who you are so you can troll all day, but bad for conversation. In fact it's so bad that users who get frustrated with the character limit post photos of text.

Twitter sort of reminds me of products like Blogger which were amazing when they launched, but sort of faded away over time.

I find it distressing that getting to Eastern Europe would be difficult for me. There are many shrines, monasteries, and associated holy sites that I'd love to visit--not out of mere fascination, but out of genuine devotion (I've already checked Mount Athos off the to-do list, but I want to do it again).

But being an American makes that harder than it probably should be.
Also, cyclists probably kill less other people. So from the city's point of view it's definitely worth it.

The article calls this out pretty explicitly:

In the era of social media, such comparisons take place on a screen with carefully curated depictions that don’t provide the full picture. Mobile devices escalate the comparisons from occasional to nearly constant...Madison Holleran’s suicide provided what might be the ultimate contrast between a shiny Instagram feed and interior darkness. Ms. Holleran posted images that show her smiling, dappled in sunshine or kicking back at a party. But according to her older sister, Ashley, Madison judged her social life as inferior to what she saw in the online posts of her high school friends. An hour before she killed herself, she posted a dreamy final photo of white holiday lights twinkling in the trees of Rittenhouse Square.

I'm 22 (just graduated) and I got rid of my Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat about a year ago. It feels fantastic. I do miss messenger sometimes, but the benefit of not having my time/energy sucked out by Facebook far outweighs messenger's convenience.
Yes, for sure.

However, they predate germ theory by centuries. And as the article notes, the British did consider them "a public health nightmare".
As long as the interpreter doesn't execute any prohibited system calls, the iOS store reviewers won't care and won't have a point to argue. OpenGL shaders are 'interpreted' code (though explicitly allowed). Protobuf messages can be 'interpreted' code. You probably can't get away with shipping Go code as a resource (or fetching it in cleartext over the network), but you probably should secure the input to your interpreter anyways.

There's not much difference between downloading and parsing several hundred kb of JSON and downloading and running a script. I mean, there is, but the iOS store peeps don't need to know ;)
And yet the US government still managed to get by, and the US grew rapidly to become the richest and most powerful country on the planet.
That's the only period where it wasn't a hassle. Then everything went to shit at the beginning of this year, and there's nobody to approve visas (even if you wanted to visit Yemen now).

Re replacement policy - that's why I mentioned that the file can be changed. You'll need an mtime/inode/time check on each request / periodically.

Cache can miss? I don't think that's required. It can miss in a general sense, as in it needs to be lazy loaded. But I'd still call it caching if you're getting a single value. For example, you can still cache whole front page with server-side push into the cache. You also can't miss in that case.

But yeah, that's just details. Cache/memory structure is a rather vague separation.
Spending all day studying something seems to encourage people to go out and do related things in their off time. And they get better at them.

Do you really think that the soft skill building activities are equally likely to be popular among the people you meet in a humanities class compared to one in a computer science class?

And you also seem to be completely dismissing the ability of education to give you tools to better understand and contextualize situations you encounter in the real world.

If you asked two students to try to understand a complex biological system and one was a computer science major and the other a philosophy major which do you think would do better? It's probably the one who has a lot of practice building models of abstract systems, even if they are of a type that's more squishy than they are used to.

Now take those same two people and ask them to convince someone of something while knowing only a few things about them, the one who is used to thinking about various different belief systems and world views is going to find it much easier to identify with someone different from them.
>Wallerstein said that Capitalism has failed for the Capitalist class, what he means is that it's costing more and more to make a dollar. The reason that income is falling is because the Capitalist class expects to continue making billions against a market which is efficient. They just squeeze that profit out of the worker's paychecks.

I do recall some rather elaborate book, perhaps entitled Capital, being written about the tendency of the rate of profit to fall...
Everyone has experienced an Alzheimer's-like state at some point. Alzheimer's strongly resembles the effects of the sort of "brain fog" people get when they're overtired (or experiencing caffeine withdrawal), just without the simple remedy of rest.

The onset of Alzheimer's itself is recognizable more by 1. your begining to experience such "brain fog" states more and more often (when otherwise well-rested), and 2. your beginning to experience a bit of "brain fog" all the time, such that you at your "best" is no longer as awake/alert/aware as it was previously.
In my eyes, the application is free and has a lot of benefit in just doing it. It makes you think about your idea in depth and asks questions targeting different areas. For example, you may have thought about how you are going to get a user base, but have you thought about how you are going to get the first user, the second, and third? Have you thought that far in the beginning? When I looked at the application this was the question that stumped me, because I had a general plan/idea as to how to go about getting users, but not something concrete that could help me get the first few. So now I'm rethinking my strategy and have some better ideas for my app.

I would still do it. The worst that will happen is that they say "no".

I was having dinner with American colleagues once. We were talking about passports or visas, and I told them about the stupid questions - are you a nazi? Are you a spy?

They didn't believe me until I found a copy of the form on Google images. You literally have to declare you are not a nazi spy to gain entry to the USA. Something not many Americans are aware are of.
But you don't have future price information; so it's a bit hard for an actual enterprise recommendation. This will cost X in the future, but it's free for now? Free for now is great for me as a tinkerer/developer; but I couldn't recommend it to a client?
ESPN did an amazing longform article about the track star mentioned in the OP, Madison Holleran:

http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/12833146/instagra...

One of the themes of that story, as in the OP, is how social media distorts the reality of experience, making people think that everything is exciting and upbeat in others' lives...I think for better or worse, this effect is stronger in Instagram, and not just because of the literal "filters"...what makes Instagram more appealing in general than Facebook is that, being so focused on images and impulse sharing, it's much harder to get into political spats/debates...but it's much more difficult to convey "meh" or other negative emotions. If you focus on someone's Instagram, you can come away with a very distorted assessment of that person's life and emotions.
Thanks op for the link .. great pictures!

India's historical legacy is absolutely breath taking. From the beautiful palaces in Jaipur, to the ultimate gift of Love in Agra, India's rich heritage tells stories of architectural break throughs, scientific explorations, mathematical discoveries and heart wrenching sagas of love.

I used to live in India in early 1990s and I can't wait to go back and visit this beautiful land of kind and generous people, where Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christians are united by the fabric of 'Jai Hind' and where the whole nation comes to a stand still when a game of cricket is being played...lol

When I look at these architectural gems, I wonder how it might have been when it was busy with life. I am sure these structures served as focal points of communities and unfortunately now lie in absolute ruins of dilapidation and neglect.
You'll notice I wasn't passing judgement, merely noting the WOW factor. As I said, there's a lot going into that difference but it is quite stark nonetheless.
