I sort of agree, I hate public shaming and I could do without. But this isn't a mistake you just resolve over the mail.

For example, I've used toooons of open-source code in my life, lots of snippets, and I've not attributed every single thing although I usually do. When I copy a pretty standard implementation of a sorting algorithm that is used in a minor way to present the final results of some fancy code I completely wrote myself, sure, contact me and ask me to attribute properly and I will. My intention is to build something new, and use some code here and there by others instead of reinventing the wheel, and sometimes you slip up and don't track your attributions properly.

But in this case, nothing new seems to have been created, it seems to have been almost entirely copied, variable names changed specifically for no real reason (it's one page of code, on a big project I understand changing variables to suit your project structure but on a one-pager...), and the work is even referenced as being inferior (by pointing to a 2 year old version, saying that is inferior, then copying the 1 month old version that already solved the issues you're pointing out on the 2 year old work, and not attributing anything). At that point, the notion someone is a cool dude looking to build cool stuff and made an honest mistake goes out the window, and the chances you're dealing with a guy who inflates his own ego while dissing an author he's copying and goes out of his way to muddy the evidence he's copying, pretty high. In this particular case I can really see where OP is coming from in not resolving this by email.

One file format I would also recommend, although definitely neither a trend or a rising star, would be HDF5[1], which has done a stellar job for me. It also a ton of wrappers, and has been widely used for ages (it's been around in some form or another since 1987 and has been adopted by NASA to store their Earth Observing System data).

Reach out to your existing clients and politely ask them if you can include their recommendation on your marketing site. Don't say "we will use your logo". Instead say "we would love for you to give us a recommendation that we can display on our site". Heck, offer them a discount for a month to do this. Why not.

Also remember that some clients may actually be willing to do this to advertise their own brand but a few may not. The ones that are not interested, you can only try so much.

Very critical: Don't mess up relationships with existing clients. If they say no, don't use their logo or name anywhere on the site. You could get into trouble in many ways if you do that.
I wonder if they are going to plan to mine people's search patterns? I don't know about you, but I've never lied to Google about my intentions. When I was feeling very depressed, I'd often search for sad things, or even "ways to kill myself". I imagine a lot of other people do so as well, and aren't even aware their search history is monitored by Google -- and if they are, they think it can be cleared by deleting their Internet history in their browser.

There is again a fine line between privacy and what will help the individual and society at large. The most pressing questions will not be what new analytical methods we can create to better identify mental illness from Google's data. I've seen the quality of the mental health system from a close friend's perspective (in the US at least) and all I can say is you don't want to get mixed up with it; it often has the same outcome and social stigma as a criminal record.

Cisco Announces Intent to Acquire Lancope
Funny, just saw this article today in the local newspaper:

http://www.all-in.de/nachrichten/rundschau/Ofen-platzt-aus-a...

It says that they may reduce ("up to 10%") the garbage fee.
It shows what the piece of code does in the unit tests? Or will it pull in the mock values used in the unit tests and show you their values on the actual code? And if there are multiple unit tests with different mock values, how does Alive pick which value to use?
Well don't stop there, the MIT license says some more:

'subject to the following conditions:

And that copyright notice on the code written by OP says 'Copyright (c) 2015 Max Woolf' (OP). The Medium author include that and posted his use of the code in the article and on github without this copyright notice.
[EDIT] Why is my parent being downvoted? It is a legitimate question, and we should try to answer it.

Yet there are a lot of board and roleplaying games pushing their boundaries regarding theme and mechanics:

You have boardgames exploring difficult themes (Train[0]) and others being defined as they are played (Fluxx[1])

On RPGs, You can have rpgs about simple themes as being a housecat (Cat RPG[2]) or serious one like rape and domestic violence[3]. In terms of mechanics, there is Dread[4], a horror game that uses a Jenga tower instead of dice.

There is no push to be considered art, but there are folks doing some really cool stuff with the medium.

What is happenning with videogames is that there are people who thing "videogames should grow up" and "stop playing around". That, in my opinion, is stupid. You don't tell a 15 years kid to "grow up". It will come out naturally. KLEt games mature on their own.

> Huge difference... Not.

It's required to supply a subcommand, or it won't do anything. That is a big difference from a flag which you may forget to use, and then the program runs anyway.

> Do you usually download and run random tools for the first time directly on a server box?

I usually spin up a virtual machine for testing out server stuff.

> Ok then you really should specify this somewhere. I've gone through the github readme and the User Guide without this being mentioned anywhere. I'm probably stupid for not running arbitrary beta tools on random wan-facing servers, but I'm certainly not the only stupid person in IT today.

I'm not sure how you were planning on validating ownership of a domain to a third party if you don't want that third party to request resources served by that domain.

Broadly, I think there's a price to be paid for any given life choice. You don't get to have it all for free. In this case, the person chose to pay in sleep. I'm suggesting that they had other options on offer.

Yes, I understand it can seem callous. In this case, I honestly believe that my preferences are superior in the vast majority of instances (although demonstrably not all).
On the greatness of the great moderation
Something that I feel does not get enough attention wrt using machine learning is proper consideration of the downsides when there are false positives. There are always false positives and you have to weigh the harm of a false positive against the benefits you think you'll get.

On one end of the spectrum a false positive serves you an ad you'd never be interested in. On the other end it gets you killed. Searching for the mentally ill in this way could lean hard toward the latter. Scary stuff if misused.

I don't have any opinions on the diet itself, but if you're losing 3 lbs a week, this means that either you started out very obese or haven't been on the diet for very long. I'm glad it's working for you now but this doesn't necessarily mean that the diet will be the optimal for 10+ years.

Processed meat (bacon, hot dogs, and sausages) labeled carcinogenic by WHO
I think some of it goes back to the art vs. design conversation and games, in so much as they are games, tend to fall on the design side (there tends to be a clarity regarding the rules, rules are designed to create good gameplay rather than an expression of artistic vision, etc.). A lot of the things that can be considered art can work just as well outside of the game (take a cutscene, for example, which has no gameplay and is basically a movie inserted into a game).

Of course, there are some games that tie the narrative and the gameplay together in such a way that it's hard to separate the two, such as The Colonel's Bequest (1989), The Last Express (1997), and a favorite of Roger Ebert's, Cosmology of Kyoto (1994). There are also "ungames" that eschewed gameplay in order to create more of an art experience, such as Puppet Motel (1995) and The Manhole (1988). But mainstream gaming has largely forgotten these games (as well as many others).
The MIT License still has requirements. If those requirements aren't meant, you don't have a license to use the code. The problem is the person is using the code without the proper copyright attribution that the MIT license demands.

Too many people see MIT as the same thing as public domain. It's not.
My problem is that games-as-commercial-artifacts and games-as-art both miss the point. Games are both, as well as entertainment and cultural artifacts. Criticism and analysis needs to consider all these things or miss important aspects required for understanding.

For instance, the question is not just what message a movie conveys. The question also includes why. Similarly, there are entire game mechanisms that exist solely for economic reasons (IAPs, gating, etc.) that cannot be understood through artistic lenses.
> however, controlling for total calories as you suggest could be misleading, because sugar provides lots of calories but often does not reduce hunger

I don't see how could it be misleading. You trade sweat treats for fullness, and you could even add low calories side meals to balance the count. That's what a lot of diet regimes do and have been proved to work.
Since when did the discussion about diet's healthiness turn into weight loss discussion? You can lose 1.36 kg per week on any diet if you restrict calories, for example, but that's not really relevant here.
This only happens to me if I change the window size while viewing query results in less(1) while inside of psql. Resizing the windows at the psql prompt itself always works for me (and in fact fixes any issues caused by resizing while inside of less(1)).
One way to improve your diet is just to pay attention to it. And you're paying a lot of attention to your diet. Unfortunately your anecdote isn't very helpful to learn specifically about sugar.
When we ban stalking we take away the first amendment rights of jilted lovers.
When we ban playing loud music at 4 AM we take away the first amendment rights of jerks.
When we ban plastering every square inch of a city with ads (to say nothing of banning billboards entirely), we take away the first amendment rights of business owners.
When we ban vandalism we take away the first amendment rights of vandals.

Any limitation on any act that has a component of communication (which is to say, almost any act at all) can be framed as a violation of the first amendment.

In my opinion, "I need 'bout tree fiddy" ranks below spray-painting a dick on a wall in terms of contributing to the free exchange of ideas.

Bluetooth Smart Ready is a stupid branding mistake. It means "This device can talk to normal Bluetooth devices and Bluetooth Low Energy devices." Bluetooth LE is apparently "Bluetooth Smart" now.

I don't think Weave and Thread are really in play yet (Nest might use Weave?). Weave looks like a protocol for phones talking to smart home devices, and thread is a network layer built on the same radios as ZigBee.

Indeed. Shake a box of rocks for a while and you'll find the largest rocks at the top. It's not because the top makes rocks grow, or because moving to the top makes them bigger, it's simply that larger rocks move up more readily in this environment.
>This is off-topic, but wait, what? #1138 is a joke about subsets of populations which look the same as the general population because there is no statistically-significant difference between geographies. It’s not a normalization joke. Normalizing per capita would still make the maps look same.

Wait, wouldn't normalization make the map look uniform, and not a population map?

The metaphor that resonates with me as a musician, would you expect someone to get better at piano only by attending lessons but no practice at home?

Im not sure where you get the idea of poor time use from. Out of that 8 hours you need to fit lunch, recess, cumulative transition times, and at least 4 major academic topics (Math, Science, History, Language) plus hopefully a rotating time dedicated to the arts. And you want that to fit into 8 hours on top of the practice required to achieve mastery?

Finally, this is me making a value judgement. Just picking one class, math, I'll go out on a limb and say mastery of basic arithmetic is going to resonate much farther in a child's life than participating an extra hour in extra curricular or chores.
Curious to get opinions on what you guys consider to be the best OSX app for note-taking in relation to day-to-day dev work, e.g. storing and retrieving documentation, code samples/snippets (with insets, formatting, and colored syntax, so that it's clearly separated from non-code text), etc... Doesn't need to support markdown.

I love Quiver, but syncing it across multiple computers through iCloud is not reliable, otherwise it would practically be perfect.

StackEdit is great, but I don't like how it's tied to a browser. I also don't like being forced to store everything on an external server. I'm willing to make an exception for iCloud because it's so damn convenient -- it's the only form of cloud storage that I use for personal documents.

From reading this thread, I see that Classeur is from the same creator, which is great news :)

Unfortunately, there's no desktop client yet, so it'd be nice to use something else until then.

I currently store markdown (general insensitive documentation that doesn't need to be kept local) and Ruby/Objective-C files (for snippets/examples) on iCloud and read/edit/run them with Textmate.
What's particularly outrageous about this is that there is seemingly no way for consumers to make a market "choice" for privacy.
Then I guess Coke won't "continue to bleed sales and struggle" as the parent suggested?

Note that Coke ALREADY provides "healthy alternatives" (they sell bottled water if that's your thing). And also note that the parent has no idea what part of Coke's product line the dip in sales was caused by, whether it's an industry-wide phenomenon or not, etc. etc.

That's because the parent is just some armchair financial analyst spouting nonsense.
Seriously. The vast majority of computer security effort is wasted on things like the advisory-and-patch cycle, pen testing, and virus scanning, which can never, by their very nature, provide computer security. That's not to say you don't have to do them — it's just that they're not productive.
So only cite open access articles (like this one). It'd certainly be a win for the public.

>Go is "simple", sure, but ends up being rather complicated as a result, with tons of the same code having to be written over and over for different types, and tons of typecasting between interface{} and real types, and so on. Nobody (as far as I can see) is asking for Haskell-style typeclasses or operator overloading or type traits or higher-kinded types or any of that.

Exactly. We're not asking for much here, just the ability to do the most basic kind of type parameterization.

The only benefit afforded by missing generics is simplicity in the compiler. It does nothing or worse than nothing when it comes to simplicity in actual Go code.
Hey, I'm a fan of your work and glad you're continuing to make stuff. Just have to say, though, it seems this entire post is based on your assumptions about how newsrooms handle graphics and is not based on any research or first-hand newsroom experience.

First of all, none of the projects you mention are "99% code." They all take a ton of reporting and editorial decision-making, and they all require a deep understanding of the topics they cover. Given the full breadth of any given interactive feature, it's really more like ~10% code.

Also: "News organizations had to accept that code-driven content wouldn’t have a viable print-version. The NY Times launched a data-led blog, The Upshot, to address this tension." Really? That's why they launched the Upshot? Not to leverage their already-existing graphics desk to compete with 538 after Nate Silver left the NYT? Also, most interactive graphics you see on the NYT site also appear in print in some form.

Also: "Michael Bloomberg is subsidizing all of Bloomberg Business’s engineers in the Editorial Department. No one else is even close to making a head-count commitment." I'm not actually sure what you're trying to say here. Bloomberg's graphics desk, while very good, is actually relatively small. And they do not come from some engineering corner of the company; they're people who are experts in creating editorial graphics and interactives, and they work in the newsroom.

I'm glad you're excited about the work you cited in your post. I am too! It just seems you're missing a lot of context here.
I'll have to think some more about RPGs, but the thing with board games is that the "narrative" aspect is less important than in modern videogames.

I admit is way less common, but even board games have been created and analyzed as art/philosophy/opinion. Some examples:

- Monopoly (possibly the best known example of a game whose original intent went beyond entertainment).

- Train (a game about Auschwitz: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/63933/train)

As for videogames, the language of the creators themselves sometimes seems to acknowledge the relation to narrative and cinema. Some game designers style themselves "directors", and are sometimes more interested in cutscenes and "telling a story" than in actual interactive gameplay. Note I'm not telling whether I think this is a good or a bad thing :)
Hi

Document Length is much bigger with WP. Is it compression being off in Apache/PHP or caching in React?

Update: ok, compression is off in Apache. Hmm, I'm not sure ab is a good benchmark tool here. Your React combo is asynchronously pulling data while WP is mostly synchronous. To be fair, you need to check "full loading" times.

WPT Apache: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/151027_GJ_d747f0a207fa4b72...

WTP React+: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/151027_83_f3b299e3ab7957a4...

Fully Load for Apache is: 3.0xs

Fully Load for React+ is: 3.7xs

I can also see that you haven't done basic optimization on Apache (KeepAlive off, compression off, MaxClients, etc).
