Is sugar that much cheaper than aspartame, sucralose, erythritol, or other fake sweeteners? I found that chewing on erythitol-based bars (Quest) sorta satisfied most of my need to eat sweets.

I suppose it's a bit of an arms race: keep adding sweetness to add a bit more flavour and soon we're escalated so far up the sweetness chain with no commercially viable way to back down.

Author here. You're not wrong. There's nothing magical about DOIs or everyone would use them for everything and there would be no link rot. You can only update links if you know when and where things are moving, and you're still around to do it.

Scholarly publishing is an area where documents need to stick around for a long time, be able to be cited in a well-understood way, etc etc.

Crossref is an trade association of scholarly publishers, formed to solve exactly this problem. Part of the deal when a publisher joins Crossref is an obligation to keep the links up to date and a plan for what happens if the publisher suddenly vanishes into thin air.

Initiatives like CLOCKSS address the archiving question http://www.clockss.org/clockss/Home . The CLOCKSS homepage has a good overview.

And to the 'tracking stuff down' point, the DOI is resolvable (i.e. a link you can click) but it's also an ID that you can look up in a database. DOIs predate the web and may live longer than it. Having a single, 'official' ID (whatever it looks like) is better than searching by metadata.

Coffee places in the UK often get the milk wrong, so most drinks are going to be painful.

If you go to a big chain there's more chance they've had training in steaming the milk properly. But then you have to put up with their roast (starbucks) or lack of wifi (costa).

And even then some of them are real branches (had all the training) and others are franchised branches (use the branding but have different prices and far less training).

But a bad coffee from a chain is still going to be very much better than the instant you'll be offered in many places.
The USPTO isn't required to follow court rulings. The MPEP (Manual of Patent Examining Procedure) isn't even updated to reflect what the courts say unless the PTO likes it. If you don't like what PTO says, you can always just go to your local federal courthouse to sue for your patent. And the PTO gets sued all the time.

Wouldn't the plaintiffs likely win? I fail to see the major difference.
Yep, I agree and that's where I install stuff on everything other than OS X. One distinction though, I think, is that most of the stuff I install on OS X I don't want to be available system-wide. I'm (typically) not using Homebrew to install daemons that run all the time or things that serve critical system/network functions, so I've never seen a reason to make them available to the entire system. I agree that goes against the Unix way but I started preferring this way of using Homebrew after I had similar problems upgrading and even updating OS X.

Also, what if for some reason a single machine is shared by two people and they need different versions of some programs installed with Homebrew? Installing everything in /usr/local isn't going to look like a good idea then.
How did you cure your "severe central sleep apnea" ?
Yes it is still like this.

When XCode needed some license approval after the recent upgrade to support iOS9, Brew warned me that license can only be approved ( programatically ) by root. I tried to sudo brew and received the warning you showed. That was 1 week ago.
As cliched as it may sound, it...depends on how is the API consumed? Is the error code going be processed further and passed onto logger or other sub-systems? Are there possible cases of collision with other existing enumerations or type restriction (magic handling relies on error code being of a certain value, for example). Most common way is to have an array of enumerated constants in code and that also adds a maintenance debt across front and back ends to sync up unless there is a separate micro-service to enquire about those enumerations which translates to extra development cost. It could get complicated fast and so on. Oh, hopefully the documentation (or code comment) stays up to date as well.
The OP isn't using it as a justification for what occurred. They're rightly stating that iFixit breaking a license agreement doesn't then give other people the right to break a license agreement (in this case the license of their app) with iFixit.

If you start going down the rabbit hole of "You violated their license terms so I'm going to violate your license terms" then things would fall apart very quickly. Is it morally OK to pirate Justin Bieber's music because he faced drugs charges? Is it reasonable to shoplift from Walmart because they broke a contract with a supplier?

iFixit broke their contact with Apple, and for that they should (and apparently have) faced repurcussions. That doesn't give anyone the moral right not to respect the license they publish their app source code under (by putting ads on it or selling it).
Thank you for the clarification. It clears a up lot; it seems I gave the designers of the DOI too little credit. Your last question brings some food for thought. The naive answer is to "just decentralize it", but smarter people than I have been trying to tackle a similar issue with certificate authorities. Sometimes software isn't really the easiest solution in contrast to open dialogue and cooperation.

"Most states have adopted a 150 university semester hour educational requirement. A few states require only a four year university degree." Depending on how your hours are calculated, I think 150 might require a year of grad school generally. My school does 3 hours of class per week x 5 classes per semester x 8 semesters = 120 hours.

On the other extreme, the CFA institute requires 4 years of experience to sit the CFA exams.

Most readers on the blog know all about DOIs so that section wasn't meant to describe everything about them. I welcome feedback though.

What happens if doi.org goes down? In the first instance you can use an alternative resolver, e.g. http://dx.doi.org/10.5555/12345678 can be resolved against http://dx.crossref.org/10.5555/12345678

In the second instance, we're as open as possible about it and discuss the shortcomings of the system! It's not perfect, but nothing is. We think it's the best solution.

Couldn't all this be avoided if Homebrew installed itself in a sub-directory of /usr/local (e.g. /usr/local/homebrew) instead of /usr/local itself?

As described in the blog post (although not fully).

A DOI is a Digital Object Identifier.

A digital object is something like a scholarly article. People need to be able to find it by URL, cite it, and refer to it with an ID. The URL is no good because it could change. If you cite a URL and it 404s in a few years time, that's link rot.

So a DOI is a link that points to the item. It 'belongs' to the publisher who owns the article. They are obliged to update the link to point to the new location when it moves. Hence the DOI link always (in theory) works.

From a user's perspective, a DOI is just a URL that you visit that redirects you to a different URL. From inside, it's a link resolver system backed by a database that publishers keep updated through a registration agency (e.g. Crossref).

Different Registration Agencies do different things. Crossref has a tonne of metadata, contributed by publishers. Have a play here: http://api.crossref.org/works

There's a good Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier
The upgrade changes the permissions of all files within /usr/local to root:wheel.
Surely you mean 12:1

Well, as far as I can tell, the URL is fixed in the latest snapshot:

but after a bit of fiddling I couldn't get the configure-script to build
with libungif installed under my home-directory...

Looks like the html "template" is embedded in mgp.c, in the
genhtml-function:

496 static void
497 genhtml(start_page)
498 int start_page;
499 {

There's apparently only one reference to "next page" (page +1):

596 if (page < maxpage) {
597 fprintf(html,
598 "<A HREF=mgp%05d.html>[next&gt;]</A> "
599 "<A HREF=mgp%05d.html>[last&gt;&gt;]</A>\n",
600 page + 1, maxpage);

I guess:

596 if (page < maxpage) {
597 fprintf(html,
598 "<A HREF=mgp%05d.html REL='NEXT'>[next&gt;]</A> "
599 "<A HREF=mgp%05d.html>[last&gt;&gt;]</A>\n",
600 page + 1, maxpage);

might do the trick?

Then one could either add a js-shim to navigate based on rel=next, or
use a client with support for that. Or, use a more modern package for
generating slides. That'd be my first choice. Something like pandoc with
S5:

Then again, I suppose there are no perfect tools...

My reading is that /user is for data associated with twitter users/accounts, not meant to store things that go in /usr. /usr says system related stuff. /user is meant to be distinct from /logs and /tmp, not indicate a global, common utility/data directory.

/user holds twitter user data
/logs holds time stamped aggregated data
/tmp is for ephemeral data, it has a truncated name because that's
what people are used for this purpose

I wouldn't name it /usr if it held information about users either.
Bah, if it's ABBA, I would survive :-)

It's good to hear that scholars are getting together and trying to mitigate the volatility of URLs. I'll definitely need to read more on the subject to understand the pros and cons so thank you for your introduction in the article; many specialist blogs tend to only write for their specific audience. It seems like DOIs are an ample solution as long as they aren't a single point of failure.
How incredibly arrogant of you to declare this about a tiny <3MB app just because you personally don't use it. Your personal preferences are not the arbiter of what is and is not useful, and this app provides the sole interface to a system component (GameKit) so it is entirely appropriate to ship on the system. And declaring this minuscule app "bloatware" is so laughable as to be almost insulting, because it's clear that you're just struggling to find a reason to compare OS X to Windows.
Indeed, this wouldn't work in the low wage sector.
I don't especially want to defend the article but this whole first-law-of-thermodynamics approach to explaining weight gain is definitely the most useless idea that somehow always rears its head around here. It's not only useless on its face since how much we eat is moderated by satiety mechanisms rather than weights and measures, but it also ignores the complexity of nutrition and metabolism and the fact that weight has only a loose correlation to overall health.

As much as you're not going to fix your health by reading superficial linkbait articles, you also will not do it by taking a smug reductionist view that allows you to dismiss the subtleties of nutrition which still remain frustratingly beyond the reach of conclusive hard science.

I installed mine in /usr/local/brew because I already had a ton of stuff in /usr/local managed with GNU stow before brew even existed. I don't have any problems with it.

Someone I know puts it in ~/brew and that works just fine, too. His reasoning is that /usr/local/ is for all users, and though he's really the only user on his laptop, it's just wrong to install a bunch of stuff that's just for him into a global user directory.
It might be worth noting that the two companies (Filimundus AB, M Brath AB) mentioned in the article both have about 10 employees each, according to official records from 2014. Both companies have been running since approximately 2011.

I think it's pretty safe to say that "Sweden" is not moving to a 6 hour work day yet. This is two, incredibly small companies that are doing so.

If it was Ericsson AB or any of the industrial companies (Sandvik, SCA, Volvo, SSAB ie Swedish Steel) however...

That would break the unix convention they are trying to follow, so then they might as well put it anywhere else as well.
To become a CPA the candidate needs 150 credit hour education. This can be achieved in two ways:

1. Get a masters degree in accounting

2. Bachelor degree + other courses for credit from online diploma mills (University of Phoenix) or similar accredited educational institutions (I think community colleges would work too).

Both are complete waste of time and money. In the UK you can leave school, pass 14 or 15 exams costing about a £100 pounds + institute membership fee of £100/year and obtain the experience of three years then you are qualified to obtain a license to practice. If you are with a accountancy firm, they will sponsor all the main costs and provide you with study leave for exams.

I just read another article today [Tulip] that says the same thing about US medical education where one can study for becoming doctor only after completing an undergraduate degree which might have no relation to medicine. Author compares that with Ireland where one studies for 5 years after leaving school instead of the 8 that the US doctors need to spend.

I think it is similar case for becoming a lawyer too: four year degree then JD while in other countries they go and obtain an LLB (3 years) and then appear for the bar exams.

Would you use a migration script that "scrambled" certain columns on the way back from Production to Development?

No, because you'll almost certainly fail to fully anonymize the data and if there is anything "interesting" in your possession it will probably still be recoverable. I wrote a comment on HN long ago about this, and still stand by it.

And it might be worth knowing that the two mentioned companies (Filimundus AB, M Brath AB) in the article - each have about 10 employees, according to 2014 official records.

I'd say that it's quite hard to extrapolate that the whole country is going the same way as these two companies.

As a romanian speaker, I would transliterate the "ssrksxt" as "sîrxt", which contains the vowel "î" (similar to the turkish "ı"). Inserting that vowel between some consonants is how we pronounce what would otherwise be consonant-heavy words.

Following the same rules, "I meet" is pronounced "ntmpin" (spelled întâmpin), and "song" is pronounced "cnt" (spelled cânt).

This article fails to define what it means by a vowel. It is impossible to have syllables without vowels if you use the phonological definition of vowel.

In Devanagari, an abugida that makes a clear distinction between vowels and consonants, there are r and l vowels.

A continuant in a vocalic position in a syllable is a vowel. A continuant in a consonantal position is a consonant. We see this in the opposite direction in English with word-initial 'w' and 'y', both are continuants that make a sound that could, in a vocalic position, likely be represented by one or more of the aforementioned vowels of the Roman alphabet.

Non-continuants cannot occupy vowel positions, and there are no examples of this in the article.

Even where, orthographically, a syllable is represented by a grapheme typically considered to represent a stop consonant (e.g. k in Slovak), this will normally represent the consonant and an unwritten vowel (e.g. a following schwa).

You are correct sir, but until this new firefox screenshot function is available as a JavaScript API in all browsers, it's the closest anyone can get. And there will always be stragglers with older browsers to account for.

It's also worth mentioning that because BugMuncher uses a big farm of Selenium servers, it's pretty rare that it can't take the screenshot in the exact same Browser / OS as the user. And in those scenarios, BugMuncher uses a scoring algorithm to find the closest match available.
