Quantifying My Transition from Academia to Data Science
This has be a real blind spot in the node community since inception. It's great to see a company focused on delivering a node runtime that is instrumented in a way that provides large node deployments with the necessary metrics/insights needed for node at scale.

Would be great if they posted some more info on whether or not their instrumentation comes with a cost to performance. Looks like you can enable/disable profiling at runtime without restarting too, which is huge!

> Node.js applications can be debugged and profiled live, without the need to restart, and therefore potentially miss critical state that led to the fault.
For me, as a web developer, I like to have browser and code side-by-side.

Depending on what I'm building, I often want to have a full-screen browser, or at least a pretty wide one.

I work on an 18" laptop and typically I just alt-tab between vim in the terminal and my browser, but sometimes I align them side-by-side.

On machines with Gatekeeper enabled you won't be able to open the application without it verifying the signature. Devs would have to on purpose remove that protection to run this bad version of Xcode, and after that it is practically game over.
I don't, but I also don't want to release all the code for my app upon distribution simply because it employs a copyleft library.

EDIT: copyleft library that I've modified.
Collision probability is indeed low if you'll assume perfectly generated prefixes, and even in an unlikely case of /48 collision, those themselves would be pretty sparse, so again assuming perfectly random distribution, chance of collision of say fifty /64s on one side with the same amount from the other network is still pretty low.

But bigger point here is that often you will need external connectivity for those ULAs, similar to what everybody used to do in IPv4 world (i.e. NAPT, a.k.a. "nat overload" a.k.a. "IP masquerade"), and that is not something that is available, really. Instead, IPv6 offers prefix translation (a.k.a NPTv6, see RFC6296). So effectively that means that:

- for each LAN segment (i.e. /64) you have to have a "private /64" and a "public /64" (or same at coarser granularity up to /49 or even more). Twice the number of networks to configure and keep track of;

- "NAT as a security measure" argument flies out of the window, as NPTv6 is stateless.

In other words, you get all the hassle of IPv4 NAPT with none of its (meagre) benefits.
I remember that a couple of years back some company got into PR trouble for doing that with a fridge.

And keep in mind that VW is simply the only company who got caught. I find it hard to believe they were the first one or the only ones doing this.
Good.

I got on their mailing list through a permutation generator on names/emails and it took me months to get off that craplist.
Honestly, you should have left it up there and told the first few to go <strike>fuck themselves</strike> find something better to do than criticize someone who gave them a FOSS program.

Yeah, things that are free need to make money somehow, hence ads and ref links. It's asinine to think that a person should just give up their own cash to provide a free service. It's the epitome of using someone as a means to an end; and you're the one getting used.

Projection. Artistic means creative. Duplicating a static image (dates stenciled on a canvas) digitally is pretty lame. It takes only 30 seconds thought to do better than that. You can have your fluffy little clouds thank you; I'd like to see something fresh, or reimagined.

I'm saying that private citizens should not have the power RTBF has given them. It's far too easily abused.

Just because a law doesn't work out the way you think it should doesn't mean someone is being negligent. Sometimes laws are badly done.
Fedora is considered the bleeding edge of Redhat distros. Always has been.

If you want stability and long term support then consider CentOS or Scientific Linux.

That said, the last seven Fedora releases have been totally stable for me both running inside Virtualbox and on bog standard Dell hardware with nvidia GeForce GPU's. I guess YMMV depending on how exotic your hardware is, but that's my general experience with Linux full stop (or any desktop OS for that matter, Windows too).
The device has to be a 64-bit CPU though. So if you load iOS 9 on an older iPad or iPhone, then you will not get this feature.

This way, very much umlaut-capable, but not at all swiss-capable Germans won't be tempted to pronounce it in a terribly wrong and insulting imitation of some swiss dialect. Serious international tensions will be avoided by clearly separating the name from the language it is derived from. If your company motto was "don't be evil", you surely would not want your compression algorithms to cause naval standoffs on Lake Constance!

Also, simply dropping those dots where they actually belong is refreshingly post-metal-umlaut.
Why not both? Gives a better reason for the Saudi's to go along with the plan. They help the US political side and get paid in political good will and getting to damage the US competitors.
Only if they're running on time. And they're never running on time over the longer routes.

I once took the train from Chicago to Denver and back.

On the return trip, our train was delayed 24 hours total. We spent an entire extra day stuck on sidings in the middle of nowhere, as freight cars passed us by.

Ofttimes in those situations, the passengers are offloaded onto coach buses, but there were no paved roads nearby.

The U.S. just doesn't do passenger rail well. This wasn't the first time I had a bad Amtrak experience. I have, in fact, never been on an Amtrak train that has arrived at my destination before 150% of the scheduled travel time has elapsed.
The mentality of the advertising sector is just mind boggling.

They don't get UX and deserve the ride over the cliff that's on its way.
Has Obama submitted a valid birth certificate verifying he even meets the requirements to be president? To my knowledge, all we have received was a heavily modified, layered birth certificate pdf, with key layers being the dates and signatures... raising high suspicion that it was a falsified document.

Until a valid birth certificate is submitted, along with all the other bare minimum variables/requirements validated, is there a valid president, or has this role been null and void the entire time? I wonder.
> I stopped using groupon because of the near-universal resentment I felt from the employees of the stores selling the groupons. Clearly, these businesses weren't getting the value they thought they would get

I think that's just a misunderstanding on the stores part. A groupon is just another form of advertising (which costs money) - but businesses believe that by offering groupons they will come out ahead.

I've personally gone to places I wouldn't have normally because of groupon and usually spent extra.
> In finance terms, I will be surprised if they have a higher RAROC [1] as compared to large banks. If they really do, then congratulations (you will put banks out of business in a few years)??

Or, more likely, just drive down bank profit margins.
Wondered when that was going to happen. Don't get me wrong, I liked the concept but when you don't get repeat business because the structure is so bad it's just not a good sign.

13 Amazing Applications / Uses of Data Science Today
I don't think having Gatekeeper disabled is a very big deal. It's one of the first things I disable on a new Mac. I've never had it stop an actual piece of malware, and it triggers false positives on practically everything.

That said, I have no idea why anybody would download XCode from a third party...
not by him. he plagiarized it
Very confusing presentation here. For one thing, the author seems to be referring to links/anchors in a web page as "requests"!

A request is the dynamic, transient action which occurs when a client such as a browser initiates a connection to a server and presents a command like GET or POST.

I suggest an opening paragraph along the following lines:

"WebXray" is a sort of web crawler which analyzes a given cluster of pages for their relationships with each other, as well as external pages which they link to.

It provides information about pages which direct a user's browser to various sites for the purposes of tracking, using tricks like hidden images.

(Do I have that approximately right?)
Actually, honestly, it is a bit of a shock. I don't know many tech companies, if any at all, out of NYC.
Congrats on the release! It looks amazing! We've been using GitLab for a little while now and love all the updates that have been coming out recently.

Doing the upgrade now though and have run into an issue with the rake command backup:show_secrets. ("Don't know how to build task...") Any ideas?
Yeah as a Chicagoan that bugged me a little. Just a nitpick.
I think this Tech Note says otherwise. It talks about Enterprise being able to manage code signing outside of Apple, and I believe it says with admin privileges a user can mark a CA as valid for code signing. I think code signing is voodoo for most developers, and therefore believe you could fool most of them into accepting the change if an appropriately worded dialog preceded it.

Well, a new limit of, let's say, 500 characters will make a huge difference! Still short form, yet, not need to be abbreviating and using broken English, skip punctuation, etc. just to fit into the artificial 140 limit!
It is notable that the 'original author's' paper was still in review. And that the review started, by a big-name journal, in Dec. 2014 - over 9 months ago. While the newer paper was reviewed and published, by a no-name journal, in under a week. The discrepancy is huge - professionally, and scientifically. There is no reason a discovery needs a year in review - that is simply laziness on the part of the big prestigious journal. And that they're now being scooped by a competitor puts them in a poor light. This seems as much about the various journals as it is about the authors, and the universities.

The new journal eLife is a wonderful happy medium - month-long high-quality reviews for a high-quality paper.
I mean, if anybody really wants that they could easily open source it on their own. : P

My point was that a punitive fine was not necessary (as a deterrent or otherwise), but a fine that realistically represented the clean-up costs would already be enough. (Destroying such companies is fine with me.)
Modular Cryptocurrency, Part 1: Generic Block Structure
Blackboard is an actual piece of shit, though. It's slow, still has trouble with most browsers, and doesn't get any of its features right. The four years of crap I had to put up with for that site are still fresh in my mind.

To be a bit more solution-oriented, most students and teachers don't care about the majority of what BB offers. They want:

* Upload and administer documents

* Assign grades to assignments

* Access Control to the above

* Speed across all browsers for the above

If Github can get these right, I don't see why they couldn't have a strong offering.
> That said, I have no idea why anybody would download XCode from a third party...

Easily explainable really. Went to [their favorite search engine], searched for "Xcode download" and clicked the first result which may not be from Apple (or an advertising).
Well, and that's partly why my proposal minimizes the coupon-iness of what they sell, in favour of something that sounds more like an actual "group buy".

But of course with an eye toward long-term sustainability by making it a good deal for the businesses.
Apparently downloads from Apple in China are very slow. So it's common practice to get it from a p2p network instead. I can totally understand it, but wouldn't do it myself (I think)
It currently does not have a REPL, and that is its main limitation right now. I think it is still suitable for more complex workflows where you would not do it in the REPL anyway - think training a large neural network. I hope something will come after 1.0 is out...
I have not witnessed any bots, or at least the kinds that randomly send contact requests or messages like MSN/Skype/Kik
I would say very few exceptions, other than the the Northeast Corridor. There are some tracks in a few other places (LA and Chicago, mainly) owned by commuter rail authorities, but so far as I know, the Northeast Corridor is the only real intercity line not owned by a private company.

You should have went East to West. Probably similar impressions, only the other way around. :)

I've found that each vertical slice of the country has it's best parts. I love the hill country in Texas, the painted desert in NM, the Great Lakes, the Louisiana bayous, New England meadows, the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The real problem here is that it is very difficult to take one trip and hit all of these points while traveling.
Ha, I wanted to say something like, "what a shame that this guy can't escape this infamy", but sure enough, 5 or 6 of those images are the same. Pretty confusing to me, because it seems like he did the trip and presumably could have used his own images – what's the point of this?
I thought that before even trying Groupon. I can't imagine how coming in as a 2nd-class customer will improve my experience. Rather pay well, tip big and enjoy the best service they have to offer. Also, as an Engineer with a 1st-world salary, its socially responsible for me to spread it around.
Alot of those plants are old. For instance, the average age of a plant in the U.S. is 34 years old[1]. Nuclear plants have gone through several redesigns to be safer and more efficient - tremendously more than these old reactors.

That's the local part. What you have to show is that for any configuration you can't "paint yourself into a corner."
It does — it requires root to agree to the XCode license:

This seems to even be required to run things like the stock git or gcc, which I've always wondered how that isn't a violation of the GPL.
I visited Minamisoma last year, just viewing the damages from the outside was heartbreaking, seeing these images of interiors is so incredibly difficult, had me close to tears too.
If you're living in the land of gray-market computers/software, you'll never have gatekeeper installed to begin with. It's likely that the devs had disabled gatekeeper for other reasons - to run versions of local software also unsigned by Apple for lack of a (paid) Official Apple Developer Account.
The "somehow" is pretty straightforward chemistry. As temperature increases, oxygen in the chamber begins to react with nitrogen, producing oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Both are present in the atmosphere, but do not react at normal atmospheric temperatures.
EJDB [0] is pretty good and seems to be actively developed again after a period of inactivity. It uses BSON rather than JSON directly but close enough, and the queries are modelled after Mongo too.

I made a C++14 wrapper [1] a while ago which will probably still work unless EJDB itself had some drastic API changes. (I also have a C++14/1y BSON/JSON library [2] that's handy for working with EJDB, but is a bit of a playground for template metaprogramming so compile times will explode with certain functionality).

The main problem with EJDB is that it's not crash tolerant so you need signal handlers to attempt a graceful flush/close on a global handle.

How about an "install" script, written in your scripting language of choice? Sufficiently obscure language, obfuscate the code, leave misleading comments and copyright statements to look like its from Apple...
Pretty much, yes. It has an API as well. You have to accept the root certificate of the authority you create in the browser and then you don't have do accept all self-signed certificates based on it. It's aiming to ease development, it's not to be used in production.
Yeah, is there a medical condition called "Marginally Useful Apps Used as a Trojan Horse for Marketing Crap You Don't Need" Fatigue? Because I'm pretty sure I've got that.
This was my experience too. We had a 7-course taster meal in a restaurant in Shoreditch and the waitress turned from delightful to rude in an instant after hearing the word "Groupon"...
Right. Seems like a restaurant (or hotel, nails place, anything that you could use more often, etc) is a better use case.
Worth noting re US train travel: "Based on data spanning the period 2004-12, for example, to expect one transit-related injury, a passenger would need to ride the French railroad for 4.9 million miles or the German railroad for 4.1 million miles. Yet he would need to ride America's railroads for only 84,300 miles, on average, to sustain one injury."

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32694447

84k miles isn't very far. This was a 3400mile journey. So you are likely hurt/dead after doing this 25 times in the US, or 1500 times in Germany.

The numbers are a bit of an exaggeration as many US train deaths involve non-passengers (ie at train crossings) but I think my point stands. Train travel, US trains in particular, is not as safe as it may seem.

Blackboard is the perfect example of buying by checkboxes: it ticks the most boxes, but since the person who buys the software rarely has to use it (if it all), they don't care that it does all those things terribly.
There was a comment yesterday about how investors only operate by FOMO ("fear of missing out"). Once you convince one, many more will follow.

That's one reason this go-nowhere, do-nothing startup had so many investors: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/clinkle — it's all psychological games ungrounded in any sense of reality. Once you have one name brand investor on board, the other investors basically abdicate their entire decision making ability.

If you've ever been turned down by a16z, you can legitimately go around saying investors think less of you than they think of clinkle.
The next study should be how many times we re-watch the same show / movie because nothing else appealing is on.

Have watched Edge of Tomorrow on HBO probably 20 times now and have started re-watching from the beginning House of Lies. Probably re-watch House of Cards next.
Unless the binary is signed properly, that'll trigger the gatekeeper warning, with the the dialog mentioning a cryptically-named binary and the icon showing as a generic "headless program" terminal-looking icon. If that doesn't set off all kinds of red flags you probably deserve infection.
It's not so well known, but the first pro plan is $20, any pro plan after that is only $5/month. So if you need the WAF, it's a really great price.
Counting Objects
Yeah, for front-end and mobile stuff I'm sure it's a bit different, and more/larger screens make more sense. I don't know enough to make that translation myself, so I figured I'd just put my data point out there and others can best determine how well it applies to them.
There are many, many alternatives to make, with new ones popping up roughly every month. They mostly seem to differentiate themselves by offering tighter integration with a particular language, or by having a friendlier configuration syntax.

tup is the only new build system I'm aware of that successfully innovates on build correctness. It snoops file system calls while running your build commands, so it can tell if your declared dependency structure doesn't match your actual dependency structure. It also notices when you change your build commands, and will delete old build objects that would no longer be produced by the new commands.

We used it to replace gulp in a medium size node/javascript project, and it absolutely destroys gulp in terms of efficiency and correctness. The only downside is the lack of more community resources describing how to configure tup for non C projects.
we use it on our image heavy startup. reduces the load on the server by a fair margin, and since images are loaded on S3 it also reduces the operating cost quite a bit

additionally it's geolocated, so we get that for free, which is nice.
