If I can do everything with JS on the visitors browser, why not host some shell HTML on S3 and never worry about a server? Maybe hit AWS Lambda if need be for one specific thing? Dunno. The age of the do everything server seems to be coming to a close.
To reply with the response such posts usually get: You must be really fun at parties!

This post was entertaining to most of us because we are not in the industry, knew little about the presence of hydrogen sulfide, and did not realize that the industry was so reluctant to sell to random interested buyers. Yes they could have written "This reporter tried to buy a barrel of oil, but sellers were reluctant, and it was calculated that individuals buying crude oil is not a profitable venture. She was also cautioned that Hydrogen sulfide is toxic, and is released by crude oil". They chose not to do that because, well -- that's not fun to read.

You are being downvoted because you are essentially telling us: 'you idiots, this is not funny, this is not news, this is stupid, there are smarter people there doing serious work, why waste your time on this' in extended form.

The common tools available to scrape Ajax Web Apps would be PhantomJS and CasperJS. During the process of making a Node.js web app, I wanted to build such a scraper within the Node.js environment itself, but most of the libraries available for Node are simply interfaces to the PhantomJS process on a low level and rather complex for simple scraping needs.

I wanted to be able to tell my headless browser to click elements, fill forms, on an abstracted level like CasperJS, so that scrapers can be built quickly, and hence I built this npm module on top of node-phantom which can be quickly integrated into other node modules.

I can't wait for ghost's API.

I've been following their repo for a while, hopefully by next year they'll be far along for it to be usable.

Ghost has an excellent editor and it would be awesome to have a static site built in any way you like that links straight to your blog posts via API calls.

They have a trello card that mentions it

I tend to think of it in terms of ratio. Of course, very few sites are 100% static, but a site with thousands of static pages and a contact form that posts to a php script is still a 'static site' in my book. You could also define it on a request method basis, since it doesn't make sense to POST to a plain html file.

Honestly, I don't know. I haven't given the abstract concept enough thought or done enough research to have a well-reasoned opinion.

However, I do think it is "bad thing" for members of the elite to believe that we live in a meritocracy – when we do not, IMO. Skimming that Guardian article, I think my feeling is similar to the criticism put forth there. The notion that we live in a meritocracy creates a sense of entitlement and superiority in the elite. That is, if you believe we live in a true meritocracy, then those on top are there because they're smarter and harder working, and those on the bottom are there because they're less intelligent and/or aren't working as hard. Said more simply, meritocracy results in the feeling that you deserve your riches, and they deserve their poverty.

Whereas, in reality as I see it, your financial success is dependent on many factors outside of your control. Sure, most successful people are fairly smart and work hard, but many less successful people also have those qualities. The other factors contributing to success are things largely summed up by Warren Buffett's notion of the "Ovarian Lottery".

I'm not advocating a meritocracy. I'm advocating an honest assessment of society and the factors contributing to financial success.

Depends on what you mean. There have been a lot of implicit constants that change, F = (k) * MA. So, saying constant changes really just means there is another term in the equation that people are ignoring and lumping in with some constant.
Round about 2004 there were several attempts to solve the SPAM problem. This was a fertile time for innovation in this space. Yahoo's DKIM and SPF records were invented, and many other systems were proposed, including my own that I called Choicelist. There was at that time a micropayment solution called HashCash. You might find that method interesting.

This reminds me of a thought I had in one of my college courses. It was in regards to college admittance. If we want to avoid bias, then why to we track it. That is if we shouldn't care if the person is black/white, male/female, dis/abled, etc then why do we ask for that as part of the sign up/interview process?

I know with names its is hard to exclude some identifiable info as assumptions can be made, but leaving this out would probably do more to close these gaps.

MongoDB 3.2 introduces new storage engines and left outer equi-joins
I don't think it's fair to state that the author's cost of living is irrelevant. The author is simply stating how much he/she needs in order to open source the content. The amount IMHO is immaterial. If you want to donate, then do so. If a sufficient amount of people find the campaign compelling and donate in excess of $20k, then evidently he/she's expected to provide at least that much value to people. If the campaign fails, then clearly the funding goal was too high.

To put it another way, people who donate are paying a price based on perceived value.

Perhaps someone will offer to write (and make freely available) a similar book for a smaller sum. If not, there is only one offer on the table and the market will decide whether it is reasonable or not.
Bricolage, in theory, but I never got it running.
So the value provided in the email has to be greater than the value of the bond, or else the recipient will just collect. Yet the bond value has to be great enough to incent opening in the first place. That seems like a large hurdle.

Not to mention if the value imparted is informational, once you read the email (to judge whether spam) the value has already transferred, making it easy to double-collect by hitting spam.
I didn't get the impression that mbrutsch was referring to assisted suicide. Check out the quoted line. He/she was referring to suicide as the rational option for "an increase in general despair and decline in quality of life."
"In addition to paid informants, law enforcement should turn to people who may know the target of the investigation, including family. “Due to the security restrictions of such apps, it is increasingly imperative that bystanders—to include parents, teachers, and community members—remain aware of possible signs of radicalization and mobilization to violence and report concerns to the appropriate authorities,” the document says."

This could be the start of our Stasi moment where a substantial portion of the population is actively rallied to rat on each other's perceived criminal behavior independent of technology.

You can throw a match into an open cup of cold diesel and it'll go out.

But if the cup gets hot, diesel vapour will start coming off the top, which will ignite. If you're unlucky it'll produce enough heat to vapourise more diesel, etc.

Also, if you let the cold diesel touch cloth, it'll get wicked up, and the diesel-soaked cloth will ignite really easily. That will in turn generate enough heat to etc.

The same applies to paraffin (although to a rather lesser extent). It's a great fuel for camping and sailing, because it's nearly inert... but only nearly so. A puddle of paraffin in the bottom of your boat isn't a problem. A puddle of paraffin spilt on your cabin upholstery is a serious fire risk.
I take it you haven't been reading much gaming news in the past few months. Steam now has refunds, like, for real. It used to just be a one time thing and they were real hard asses about it, but now they're very willing to give refunds.
Check out HashCash, another solution proposed around the same time.

When economists are unsure what exactly is going on, what does that mean? There's the quote by Buffet, "Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful".

What should one do when others have no idea what's going on?
That is true, and I should clarify: The only way to achieve the same peace and stability that existed in past societies with socially accepted discrimination TODAY is through fascism.

> I'm not sure what to think about the competitors-stealing-our-code angle, but the OSS-is-being-used-as-freeware argument is certainly one point in favor of closing/controlling their code (as a business).

Implicit in this argument is the assumption that Xamarin ever wanted RoboVM to "win" at all.

I'm not saying that they don't... just that they subsumed a smaller competitor with an arguably superior product. Its logical to conclude that there exists a possibility that they simply paid to buy out RoboVM because they thought it would be cheaper than trying to compete head to head (especially, since as your c+p points out, competitors were/are using RoboVM code), and if RoboVM returns some of that money then it is just gravy on the biscuit.

If that's the case then too bad for Xamarin... it is more of a sign of their ineptitude and of their eventual demise... if their leadership choose to use cash to knock out competitors instead of innovation, it will be interesting to see how long they can keep that up.
Or, a return to cultural norms where we all looked out for one another, and are aware of troubled folks in our village.

If private property is nothing more than a "social construct" surely the concept of "society" is nothing more. What is society other than a collection of individuals? And if the individuals cannot own property then what gives society that right?
"And today we’ve largely returned to the balance of power Dulles set up in the 1950s. As Jay Rockefeller said in 2007 when he was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, “Don’t you understand the way intelligence works? Do you think that because I’m chairman of the Intelligence Committee that I just say ‘I want it, give it to me’? They control it. All of it. All of it. All the time.”"

I get the feeling that things are probably worse today than in 07 regarding secrecy. If this tidbit is true, it effectively means that the intelligence agencies are far beyond any kind of political oversight.

EDIT:

"Whatever its funding sources, the evidence suggests the Safari Club was largely the initiative of these powerful Americans. According to Heikal, its real origin was when Henry Kissinger, then secretary of state, “talked a number of rich Arab oil countries into bankrolling operations against growing communist influence on their doorstep” in Africa. Alexandre de Marenches, a right-wing aristocrat who headed France’s version of the CIA, eagerly formalized the project and assumed operational leadership. But, Heikal writes, “The United States directed the whole operation,” and “giant U.S. and European corporations with vital interests in Africa” leant a hand. As John K. Cooley, the Christian Science Monitor’s longtime Mideast correspondent, put it, the setup strongly appealed to the U.S. executive branch: “Get others to do what you want done, while avoiding the onus or blame if the operation fails.”"

This is a way that the world really works, in plain text. The governments ask their buddies in the oil companies for geopolitical actions, then get a policy kickback later on after the dirty work is done. Disgraceful.
Interesting, and I hope their aviation industry can do well at home before it decides to go international. Sometimes things crash during R&D. Admitting failure isn't something I've come to expect from China's authorities and media, personally speaking.

Unfortunately for China, the problem in the world and coming years isn't a lack of aviation manufacturers, it's a lack of aviators[0]!

I've got several commercial airline professionals in my family (all retired) and each of them is glad to be out of the industry - especially the pilots. Working conditions went downhill. Frequent airline executive decisions (bankruptcies / mergers) found ways to, essentially, erase agreed-upon pensions or seniority. On and on.

Basically my understanding is that the profession of being a pilot is about on-par with that of being a teacher: Do it because you love it, not because the pay or working conditions are really that good. I'm not sure if it's the same globally, but if the US isn't producing a surplus of pilots to staff the rest of the world, I've got significant doubts that needs will be met with qualified personnel. As in, you don't want a pilot who cheated to get into the cockpit.

I read a component checklist for C919 yesterday and it seems other than the main body, most if not all the internal pieces(including the engines) are outsourced elsewhere.

Boeing probably does something similar, in that it acts like more of a system designer and integrator, I recall its major software was also outsourced to some India company for its newest model.
As many has said, this is a very old flame war and unnecessary in this discussion. There is plenty of articles and discussion forums that can provide a suitable environment for this.

If you want to understand the philosophy about freedom, just take a glancing look at any book that talks about it or liberty and you will find plenty of answer to your questions. John Locke for example put freedom into two camps, nature and people, where freedom of people means to be under no restraint apart from standing rules to live by that are common to everyone. Freedom of people can thus be limited by a law, a license, a restriction, and people are still free so long it effects everyone in a equal (common) way. It is thus not freedom of people to use something as one wish without also follow common laws.

A few hundred years later, Isaiah Berlin formally framed the concept of negative liberty as the freedom to not be interfered by other persons. One could thus describe any license which for example prevents patents from interfering with software development to be licenses that preserve software developers freedom to develop software.

Those a just small samples of the philosophy and of course others has written their views on the subject, and I recommend reading those if you are really trying to understand Software Freedom and GPL.

Maybe Spotify Isn't Killing the Music Industry After All
My point was that once services appeared that let you send them as part of a package or even for free, people flocked to them. Of course people complained and used the service when there was no alternative.

I'd say that in that limited scope of an example, opinion polls and consumer action were very similar.

I think the simplest static site generator is a command that visits all of your routes and saves the response html into a `build/` folder.

That way you can use whichever framework/stack/templating/database you're already familiar and productive with, and in the end you're just deploying a static build folder from localhost.

I started doing this when it came down to hacking Jekyll to implement something that's trivial to do in a microframework, so I went with microframework + page caching. I do the build and deploy with a gulp task that I'd like to generalize into a gulp module.

It sounds specious but some ‘parameters’ are sometimes taken to be constant and then turn out to vary in relation to other parameters (such as time). This distinction between what we ”take to be” constant and that which is stringently and formally defined as being a specific value is a vast cognitive chasm.
