The thing is it probably not once per application. I'd imagine using multiple frame buffers in an application is actually quite common and could change quite often while an application is running; especially in complex applications like games. It's probably not enough of a hit to really justify not clearing the buffer but it's enough to make it noticeable in the benchmark race.

I've watched about 30 minutes of this, and I am growingly disgusted by the TPP and the US government. I am a brit, and all though we aren't part of the TPP, we are still in the back pocket of the United States.

It's a shame that we rely so heavily on trade with the US, that we feel that we need to look past the so called "lobbying" and corruption in US politics, and implement such overbearing rules on behalf of Hollywood and others.

The stuff about the US putting Canada on "probation" and mandating that every 6 months Canada has to report back to the US "as if it was some kind of naughty student to the teacher" is just ridiculous.

This has to stop.

I'm pretty sure the premium-only airlines have all failed because (a) it's hard to start an airline, (b) there are only a few routes where there is enough demand to fill a premium-only plane (which exacerbates all kinds of issues from competition to poor gate/crew utilization to maintenance costs and so on), (c) most of the routes that could theoretically work are capacity-constrained, forcing these startups to use more remote airports (e.g. Eos flew into Stansted rather than Heathrow) which reduces their utility, and (d) did I mention that starting an airline is hard?

Other than that quibble, I enjoyed this post.

Packaging tutorial shouldn't be technical details how deb package works but how you build one (if you want those details you can also find them in Debian documentation but in the end deb package is just an ar file with it's set of make file that satisfies the installation in specific distro - this is the simple explanation). And no, the tutorial is misleading because Debian packaging means doing it for Debian, while creating a deb package for your personal need is different. You also have Ubuntu packaging guides and so on.
That's the motivation behind writing this. I've edited to include that this is for personal use only. I've found debian.org guides difficult to read as well. Thanks for the feedback!

None of his article seems to try to defend his assertions at all so it seems odd to link to it unless this is an appeal to authority. In which case, what makes Eric Raymond an authority on the English language?

"-er" is a suffix used to turn verbs in to nouns. A kicker is one who kicks, a stabber is one who stabs, a hacker is one who hacks. While you can certainly create a stereotype of the general "stabber", it shouldn't and doesn't really come in to whether or not a specific act was a stab. If most people who stab others are large, hooded men, but a petite, bow tie in hair girl thrusts a knife through someones torso, she stabbed them. Talking about the incident? She was the stabber. She does it regularly enough for it to be part of her general description as a person? She is a stabber.

Now, seeing as two very common definitions of the word hack are:

A: to cut or sever with repeated irregular or unskillful blows

B : to cut or shape by or as if by crude or ruthless strokes <hacking out new election districts>

it seems both odd to take people whose relationship with programming could be describe this way and not call them a hacker, and to call people who program out of a love of freedom and voluntary mutual help hackers. How the hell do freedom and voluntary mutual help relate to the word "hack" at all other than just by correlation?

People who made programs in a non-professional environment were and are more likely to hack together their programs. This group of people historically has had some values as mentioned in your article there. But to say those values are now the requirements or the defining characteristics of the term? Ridiculous.

Most people who bowl do it for the fun of it. If bowling suddenly becomes a lucrative sport and I take it up simply to chase the money and don't intrinsically care for rolling a ball at some pins, am I not a bowler? One who is partaking in bowling? Who goes to the bowling club to bowl?

I'm bullish on Pinterest for two reasons:

1. Limited number of advertising options that reach a broad audience - especially women. There just isn't a lot of inventory out of there that isn't cats and dogs. You've got Google and Facebook (Tier 1), Buzzfeed/Twitter/Yahoo/Bing (Tier 2/3) and then individual media properties (Business Insider et al) - the tiering here is fairly arbitrary. My point is that if you are a larger purchaser of advertising, there aren't that many top properties to go to - so Pinterest, with it's very good audience, is particularly interesting.

2. User information from Pinterest is very different from other venues. Google can show purchase intent based on search criteria - excellent for immediate purchases. Facebook can show ads based on demographics, location and behavior. Pinterest can show what users are interested in buying in the future, or what their wants are - a very unique dataset and one that is very interesting to a lot of advertisers.
Agreed, no doubt. Just a quick start guide for beginner packages.

Presumably the way you might be 'better' if you follow this kind of advice is that you're probably more likely to be happy, well adjusted, and able to give of your time and energy. Lots of women will value that over extra wealth.

All the men I know who view the dating "game" as zero-sum in this way are divorced, on their way to divorce, or on their way to another marriage without having addressed any of the issues that led to their prior divorces (suggesting yet another one is in the cards down the road).

It's totally a POV issue IMO, that's why I phrased it that way :).

For me, half of the Facebook's utility was the ability to check people out without having to commit to a relation with them first. A publishing platform, a little bit like personal pages of old, but much more streamlined and accessible to the mainstream. But it turned out there's enough bad actors around (stalkers, marketers) that people voted against this, and so Facebook is now a very locked down place. I think most of those fears people have are overblown, but well, that's only my opinion and it seems that most people disagree.

>It's not, because killing people marching for their rights can be used by the protesters (martyrs) or by the West (to condemn said regimes).

This makes sense but doesn't hold against the reality of life. For several reasons:

1 - There are places where people have been killing each other for so long, it wouldn't even make it to the news and wouldn't shock anyone if it did. Who got shocked a few days ago when the Freedom and Democracy Front has overthrown General Babangida causing FOUR THOUSAND deaths in yet another ethnic cleansing disguised as a coup/revolt for "Democracy" in a country that has had one too many of those, considering that the guy gained power in a blood bath in the first place. Who has even heard of that news? Did CNN even bother?

I bet no one because I just invented the Freedom and Democracy Front and General Babangida. But I also bet many actually didn't even doubt the information because it seems so plausible. After all, they all call themselves "Freedom and Democracy", there's always a General, who became President in a coup himself. I just Googled "African last names" to make it real.

You can put that imaginary news in any scene of any movie of the last 40 years, and it would still pass unnoticed. There's so much wrong in the fact that all of this has become cliché, it's not even funny.

2 - Condemnation or any reaction from the "West", or any country for that matter, is not an idealized object in an isolated system that somehow manifests itself whenever and wherever injustice has stricken. It is just an instrument of statecraft. The same action done by the same State at different times would trigger different reactions based on the status of said state and the interest of the "Condemnators".

A State would make a big deal out of an adversary State repressing riots and make it look like a Human Rights issue; at the same time it would make its own repression of riots a Security issue. It would not even comment on an ally State executing people for abusive reasons, certainly not when that State is its ally against an enemy State. That is, until now, which certainly marks the transition and the turning wheel.. The disgrace of an ally and burying the hatch with an enemy state.

Condemnation is very akin to slut shaming. States get all ramped up when they're spied on and act outraged, yet they spy on other States. Intelligence Officers call their assets in other countries "brave patriots risking their lives to improve their countries by fighting against their abusive regimes", yet use the term "traitor" for people of their own country who do the same.

You really should take more care of servers :)

What does Debian miss that you need for your servers (I am really interested).

Also for quick and dirty you could use checkinstall.

There is also a good tutorial on DigitalOcean about fpm:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-...

And just maybe me nitpicking too much but the title should be then "How to quickly create deb package for personal needs". Notice that this means you don't get Debian Security support for your own package so that can be a huge breaker for many people running servers :)

>a hint to other drivers as to what sort of behavior one should expect

The point is--what behavior is that? If I saw such an indicator today, I'd have no idea what I should be expecting that's different from normal. Is it like a student driver sign (i.e. who knows what this car is about to do)? Then it probably shouldn't be allowed.

> When you repair your car with a used part or a part from a different model, are you "hacking your car" ?

If you follow a popular on-line tutorial for that, then not really.

But if you find yourself with a broken car, and you figure out yourself that you can fix it by duct-taping some otherwise unrelated component into it, and the resulting solution somehow works better than original, then yes. Hacking is about playful cleverness.
There's plenty of people willing to invest in things that are legally in grey areas. If the company takes off then the hope is that they will have an opportunity to influence policy. Basically if a company has a lot of money to throw around then there are plenty of politicians ready to re-write the rules. Uber for example.

The bigger surprise to me is that investors would want to fund a dating site - period. The dating site business is somewhat known for being hard to attract investors because of their churn problem due to losing two customers whenever there is a successful match.
The Nerd Cat #42: posts this week are short and easy to read
Great article that I agree 100% with.

I think that the problem is that people seek pleasure rather than joy in life. We become desensitized to things that are pleasurable but when we feel joy from love, helping someone, expressing ourself a creatively, etc. that kind of happiness never gets old.

I have a friend who lives a very high life style. He gets a new Porshe every few years and recently at a group morning coffee he was talking about getting his wife a new car when the car she has is very nice. When he was done talking about his upcoming car purchase I started a new conversation about our cars being almost 10 and almost 20 years old and how wonderful it was having older things that still provide great service. I think my buddy needs to feel superior to people who don't have as high a life style. The funny thing is that I have way more economic resources than my friend.

I liked Seth's point that in a networked world where things can be shared that we lose the feeling of exclusivity, which I think is a good thing!
There are a lot of studies that prove the mentality exists. I forget where I read it, but they did a study where they gave the participant two choices: they get $140 and their neighbor gets $160, or they get $120 and their neighbor gets $100. A significant portion chose the latter option.
> In which case, what makes Eric Raymond an authority on the English language?

He is an authority on hacking and jargon:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_S._Raymond

In summary: every programmer/developer/software engineer is not a hacker and you don't have to be a software-hacker to be a hacker. If you want to learn the history of the term rather than try to define it, that would be great, rather than just debating it.
In Australia I head some anecdote that resonated that went something like;

Aussies and Brits believe they are culturally different until there's an American in the room.
It's not.

I live in Germany. I think we both can agree that I live in, if not the most technically advanced country in Europe that people claim to have very high-quality living standards.

We have about 81.2M citizens and 12.5M can use FTTC / Bandwith plans with upload speeds of 10Mbit+

So about 15.39% of the population of Europes technically most advanced country have access to FTTC.

To see how bad it is, I uploaded you a picture.
The colored marks are cities / parts of the country where citizens can get a connection with the quality you claim as "common."

http://i.imgur.com/qsAeRez.png

Also, keep in mind that those kinds of plans are expensive. A plan with 50Mbits upload costs about 40€ per month.

About 4.3M (5%) of the German population live from the german unemployment benefits called "ALG II / Hartz 4".

That is 404€ a month for food, electricity, clothing, and everything else you need to live from.

Which means for 4.3 Million people they'd need to spend 10% of their monthly income on an FTTC connection.

You can see even over here in Europe 40Mbits upload is not quite common if almost 85% of the population don't have access to it and 5% couldn't even afford it if they wanted to.
I find the number very useful when talking about anti-bacterial soaps, anti-biotic abuses, etc. with less educated acquaintances and family members. It is an eye opener for many people to find out that you NEED untold billions of bacteria to live a healthy life.

Wait, what? Not if you use the right test to evaluate your change. This article isn't showing that A/B testing is bunk, it's showing that Optimizely is using an inappropriate test.

Do an a/b test with identical versions of you site.
Spoiler: With 100% certainty, you'll see both significant

The whole point of significance testing is that, done properly, it tells you how likely you would be to get these results by chance if the two sides of the test were actually identical. Running your A vs A experiment and evaluating it correctly you'll find results significant at the p < N rate N% of the time. And the longer you run it the lower your estimate of the effect size will be.

I wasn't aware of the DigitalOcean tutorials and the tutorials on debian.org (at least the ones I saw) were pretty dense. I wanted to just package it up and get it running within a few hours (quick dirty install as you said) and couldn't use anything else due to external constraints.

HDMI is not much bigger than mDP and doesn't add thickness over USB ports which already exist on those laptops. OTOH, it was more commonly supported by non-Apple monitors in that time and very easily adapted to the ubiquitous DVI-D (same protocol and cabling, different plug).

If Apple cared about interoperability and user convenience (no silly dongles, yay) they would have used that.
It's not about being better, it's about doing better.

I have a friend that I've been dating. She tells me all about the other guys she dates. This past weekend for her birthday a friend flew down from another state to hang out with her for the weekend.

This guy is loaded. Way more money than sense. Among the things he got her that weekend was a $200 bottle of champagne that he must've paid $300 for because he got it in a restaurant. She doesn't drink. She had half a cup and they left the bottle on the table when they left.

He does all this for a girl he sees a few times a year. When she told me this story, I went down to the massage place she likes, and got her a $200 gift card for massages. She was very grateful.

I don't take her to expensive restaurants, I take her to the best places in town to eat, which are never really expensive. I take time to try to get to know her and try to work on my issues so that the time we spend together is better.

As a result she spends way more time with me than she does with the others. Where other guys spend money to cover up their perceived inadequacies, I put time and effort into making every moment I spend with her special.

That kind of effort is an order of magnitude more effective at finding and keeping the woman of your dreams. And you don't have to have a ton of money or a huge penis or be six feet tall to do it.
