No, I'm not mistaken, at all. I'm very clear on what I understand about Patreon.

If you want, you can probably get into the hacked data and see my email warning them that by being a financial conduit they were not abiding by Safe Harbors with respect to the real rights owners.

It may not have "hosted" the music, but if you click on the music page, what do you see? Music videos. Then Patreon was the method to give those people money. People who may or may not have secured the proper licenses and paid the original artists.

Also, if I was an artist on the site, my personal information would be part of that dump - SSN, etc - so my reluctance to engage with them was prudent.

Edit: Downvoting my observations? I guess there are more people here that don't understand copyright than I figure, oh well.
I won't disagree with you there, the plastic in particular feels pretty cheap (the molding around the bottom of the front seats in particular is a gripe of mine). Still, a used Prius is a pretty good deal compared to alternatives (I got a 2006 Prius - top trim - with 80K miles for $10K).
One nice approach to programming the ghosts is "collaborative diffusion": http://sgd.cs.colorado.edu/wiki/Collaborative_Diffusion

- Associate each tile with a "pacman-ness" value, which will be calculated iteratively

- The tile containing pacman is held at the maximum value

- Tiles containing walls or ghosts are held at zero

- Every other tile's value is the average of its neighbours' on the previous iteration

By hill-climbing this value, the ghosts will follow the shortest path to pacman. Also, since the ghosts act like walls, they will avoid following each other and instead converge on pacman via different routes.

I made a Python implementation years ago, and it was impossible to avoid capture!
I'm not too sure about the methodology of their battery test - presumably if they loaded the web pages in an endless loop an ad blocker would just result in more page requests in the same timeframe (causing more data to be downloaded and more processing time to be used).
This mentality is patently wrong to me. You have to realize that maintenance, house keeping, and any manner of other people may enter your area(either legitimate people, or people in disguise). Additionaly, if I were to "go rogue" you better believe I would take advantage of being able to frame someone else and remove attributation from my shoulders. The in-office risk asside, you are also training terrible habits. These habits could lead to your employees leaving their computers unlocked in coffeee shops, at conferences, in their hotel rooms, etc. You have to instill the habit of if you are leaving your computer, you lock you computer into people and make sure they understand why that is.

That's fine as a long-term goal, but it's pretty directly in conflict with the short-term goal of getting support for this image format into all browsers. If you want this in e.g. IE, someone will have to re-implement it with a license compatible with IE. And there will be compatibility bugs, non feature-parity, etc.

I mean, I get it if you'd like closed-source browsers to go away. You're entitled to that position. But that's not the effect that making this library GPL will have.

As a younger coder who has worked at the bigger firms that disallow use of GPL code in projects (Amazon, Google) - it is a huge disappointment to find a quality library that is GPL:

There are plenty of projects at these companies that would be unreasonable to open source - and due to frequent reuse of code within a company, GPL is an unreasonable license due to its ripple effect.

Contributing back to open source projects is the most enjoyable part of the process (Google for example, actively encourages this, and makes it incredibly easy).

GPL projects are dramatically reducing their pool of potential contributors. I'd love to contribute to them, but I can't.
Fixed it! You'd be surprised what can get past your eye after reading an article over and over again... :)

find has a worse reputation than it deserves. Yes, its learning curve is steep; when I was learning Unix, find was one of the commands that really stymied me. But like many powerful tools once you've learned it you can do some wonderful things with it.

Here's a random example: Prune a a scratch directory of files older than one week.

find /dir -type f -mtime +7 -delete

How would you do it without find? (Serious question. I know it can be done with other tools but since I can do it in one line with find I've never bothered to look for another solution.)

Interesting that that's the direction you went with this.

I've always wished that mysql supported a more unix-like interface, where a few characters of composable interfaces would do, instead of word after word of semi-natural-language syntax.
As mentioned elsewhere in this discussion AdBlock is not Adblock Plus. The second link you posted is for the Adblock Plus source code.

Unfortunately at the moment the AdBlock Git repository is not public, but I have set up this unofficial one that tracks the changes between each zip published on their releases page. https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock

Specifically if you want to see what they've changed so far have a look at the last couple of commits https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/commit/afff2b47024f3a55... https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/commit/f1f52f47e276d29e...
One major thing is that there is so much inconsistency.

Several posters here have commented on how find is a terrible tool with weird syntax. It's not actually terrible or weird, it's just different... because it pre-dates most everything else.

And it is hard to know how to ask the computer how to use the tools. Is the flag you need in `cmd -h` (traditional) or `cmd -help` (X11) or `cmd --help` (GNU) or `cmd --usage` (other GNU) or `man cmd` (UNIX; `man` is short for "manual") or `info cmd` (GNU)?

mstade said that "On any reasonable unix" the solution is `man cmd`. That's in general true, but apparently GNU/Linux isn't a reasonable unix then[1] (one may even say that it's not Unix :P ). Often (mostly for GNU commands), the man page is crappy (don't ever bother with the wget man page, `wget --help` is what you want) or non-existent. But it's a good place to start, then you can try working through the options I listed above... after some point you'll gain some intuition for which are the more likely ones to yield results based on who the publisher of the software is.

untothebreach's suggestion to bookmark the man pages for a system that has consistently good man pages, even if they aren't 100% compatible with the version of the command you have. He recommended OpenBSD, which is a good choice. When I was new, I leaned pretty heavily on the FreeBSD man pages https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi .

Not supporting custom fields was a deliberate decision: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/news/20020912.html

"But the dilemma for us is that many customers are evaluating bug tracking software and they consider the lack of custom fields to be a major weakness in our product.... But it's still rude of me to tell customers that we don't have that feature for their own good, even though it usually is, and we're losing some sales because of it."

Does not help. The cases I saw in the past were people putting Werkzeug's stuff behind ngrok, proxies, nginx in which cases it will all look like local requests.
There's only one author, that's not the problem.

My point was, if he had released his code as MIT/BSD and then wanted to change it to GPL it would be fairly ineffective -- people could still use the old MIT/BSD version in their proprietary products.
I am aware of screen, and in fact, it'd be nice to move the process into a screen or tmux(and I mention this). The process is long-running, and I'd like to keep it running(instead of killing it and starting in screen/tmux)
One would expect, in theory, Google to push this like mad, based on what they did with HTTP 2.0 in another part of the stack, for possibly less gain at the cost of much more complexity and standards shaking. Let's hope it really happens.
Comparing compression ratios without comparing compute/memory requirements is...not terribly meaningful.
Why pivot so soon? Didn't you just launch? It's not a sprint, it's a marathon, so success is not going to happen overnight. I think you have a great idea. Several things I would work on:

1. Expand your market. If I remember correctly, you are only in Toronto. Start on-boarding venues in other areas.

2. Work on establishing partnerships with the venues that you can offer discounts if the customer books through your site, even if you don't handle the actual booking.

3. Partner with every possible event planner, wedding planner, convention planner, trade show host, etc... that you can possibly find.

4. I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket though with #3. In a way you are actually competing against these folks. They already have vast amounts of data on every venue, and most likely have existing relationships established with them. You really want to target the individual, self planner market. One angle may be to go to churches and advertise in bulletins. Go to flower shops and talk to the people there. Hit other vendors and work with them.

5. I would work on building in additional planning features. So not only list the venues, but list other services that are nearby or have worked with that venue in the past. For example, if someone is looking at a hotel for a wedding, include options for florists and caterers. Try to create packages for the consumer, that way you are a one-stop shop and allows you to compete against the event planner more effectively.

6. Find an event writer at local papers and try to get them to run a story about the site/service.

On another note, I am not clear on your revenue model. Are you charging the venue to be listed, do you get a referral fee, do you charge the individual for something, is there an ad model? The revenue model you envision for the site may or may not impact some of the choices you make for marketing the site.

Anyway, I like the idea and think your site looks great.
The reason the term is 'brutalism' is because it's derived from the French béton brut – i.e. raw concrete. I'm not a French speaker, but I understand that the implications in that language aren't quite the same as in English.

No, your source code is not a "crown jewel" or a "trade secret". Without people, infrastructure, environments, and keys, it's just a load of text files.

This is a myth propagated by engineers who overvalue their work.

I love this response as well:
"Assuming you are using Git, that means every developer you employ is running around with a complete repository history of your source code on their laptop. They probably also have internal documents regarding design, product management, etc. Many of them probably use a cloud backup service like Mozy/Dropbox etc. I don't think Github is the weakest link in this chain. That aside, source code is typically far from your most valuable asset, especially if you're a SaaS offering like many startups. What could a competitor do with your code, absent your people and your branding? Even if it were, Github would probably be the least of your security concerns."

A rebellion can take more peaceful forms. In the United States, we have the opportunity to change the government entirely every six years (House, President, and Senate).

China's single-party system is, of course, different on the surface, but competing factions within the party provide the opportunity for change.

Today's Chinese Communist Party's policies are substantially different from those of Mao. History won't end, even if outright violence is tempered.

That's good but does it actually avoid patent minefields that others scattered around? That's equally critical for healthy adoption.
I worked on a large UK domain sellers mail platform for a couple of years and I'd definitely consider pretty much all marketing mail as spam. The landscape has been so destroyed by tricks that it's near impossible to tell if anyone actually wanted your mail.

Examples:-

a) Opt-in unchecked. These guys are "doing it right" except they usually have this box right next to a probably completely unnecessary TOS box that's also unchecked. Anyone who isn't paying attention will just check all the boxes to get to the next stage.

b) Opt-in checked by default. Fuckers.

c) Opt-out checked by default. Praying on folks that uncheck anything with "opt" into it.

d) Opt-out unchecked by default. Praying on folks not paying attention.

Basically the only way you're not a spammer is probably if signing up for mail is seperate from the sign up process. The problem is, I think this is a proven way to generate more revenue so companies are not going to stop fiddling with it.
Lobbying is, as far as I know, legal in every functional democracy.

I think you are confusing this with campaign contributions, which is a different but related activity.
The real barrier to adoption is, for the time being, older browsers, anyway. Want to lose 20% of your potential market via IE in favor of some improved image compression? =\

What do you find hard to learn about find? I don't think it's particularly hard to learn, as Unix commands go. A bit more difficult than the average command, maybe. Of course not everything about it may be well designed (as some other comments here say), but that holds true to some extent for any command or language.
If it doesn't actually solve the problem you have a non-functional program, not technical debt.
But that is not the same. That is a small, but fixed size, second version of the image, embedded into the same file.

With FLIF you simply read the first N bytes of the full image and have a resonable preview. You choose how big or small N has to be, depending on the size of the thumbnail you want to show. Maybe first read N bytes for each image to get a quick but rough preview, then repeatedly read a few bytes more to enhance the thumbnail.
For anybody who studies science that isn't an uncomfortable question and it's over century old at this point. The last time the field of science had a high level of certainty that it would solve everything ever was probably the late 1800's.

I dealt with this question in high school physics, it's really no big deal. When you get to a point where all you can do is make a "metaphysical claim with no greater merit than its opposite" you go find something better to do with your time.
I quite enjoyed the technical solution, but I think the author is a bit of a dick. And I have to ask myself why group policy wasn't setup to lock automatically after 10-15 minutes of inactivity?
>those were only the worst slave owners for future generations of sociology and history students

That's the thing, though: he wasn't speaking as an owned slave, but as a future sociologist/historian. So if they are the worst for future generations, why would it be bullshit that he's claiming they're the worst?

Maybe he simply isn't optimizing for immediate value, but for long-term value. And why would you be objecting to that?

Pipefy – Workflow tips: managing your workflow successfully
Terrorism is about finding an "in" group. How do you combat this?

My favorite quote about how the internet impacts terrorism:
"If we see terrorism as more of a tribal or gang activity than political activism or warfare, then online connections become especially important to our analysis, otherwise we will be fooled by so-called lone wolves. Earlier ‘lone wolves’ like bombers Timothy McVeigh or Eric Robert Rudolph turn out on closer inspection to have ties, social & otherwise, to like-minded people; McVeigh lived with several other extremists and was taught his bomb-making skills by the Nichols, who also built the final bomb with him, while Rudolph remained on the run for several years in a community that wrote songs and sold t-shirts to praise him and was ultimately caught clean-shaven & wearing new sneakers. Lone wolves who genuinely had no contact with their confreres, such as Ted Kaczynski, are vanishingly rare exceptions among the dozens of thousands of terrorist attacks in the 20th century, and as rare exceptions, otherwise implausible explanations like mental disease account for them without trouble."
I picked three random entries from that table:

http://securitydata.newamerica.net/extremists/terror-plot.ht...
http://securitydata.newamerica.net/extremists/terror-plot.ht...
http://securitydata.newamerica.net/extremists/terror-plot.ht...

and it's hard to see how that's not terrorism except for the fact it's white people doing it.
I can't speak for others, but for me it's not about money at all. I just want awesome technology like this to thrive and become the standard instead of falling into obscurity due to licensing complications.

I think if there's any agenda, it's to look for any trends in ideological terrorism in the US.

Honestly, I think one thing the data shows that wasn't mentioned is that there's relatively little ideologically motivated terrorism in the US overall (compared to the prominent place terrorism holds in the national conversation).

This isn't to belittle the death of 74 people in terrorist attacks but once you get past the morbidity of death tolls and averages, 74 victims over 14 years (5 or so per year avg) strikes me as a fairly low number when compared to the typical weight that such attacks are given in policy discussions.
Why does the US pay so much more than the UK? Are UK salaries just lower across the board?
