Well, I agree that Q-Tips have the potential to do more harm then good, but this probably the extreme 1% of cases. I think the key takeaway is never try to reach back to your ear drum, and don't make it a daily habit. I occasionally use q-tips to clean my ears 6 to 8 times a year and have never had any issue with wax or infections.

The real ear "killer" out there is loud noise and daily abuse. You're more likely to damage your ears listening to earbuds 8 hours, Mon to Fri or going to a monthly concert/club with 100+dB for 4 to 6 hours with no ear protection.

Talk to an ENT about serious issue like tinnitus and they'll tell you with a straight face that a) they don't really know what causes it and b) the prescribed treatment is "just try to ignore it". It doesn't produce a lot of faith that the science is really there. For me this article is closer to fad nutrition advice that consistently contradicts the previous reports.

I think AVR32 is dead (also UC3, AP7 died years ago). I've not seen any development the last years. I guess they don't want to compete with their own ARM's.
People drive because there is no public transport and there is no public transport because everybody drives. Making parking really expensive and funneling the money into improved public transport would probably change the situation.

Forget "in disguise". It's awesome for most Canadian startups, period. The majority of sales for many, if not most, online businesses (and even many hardware startups) are going to be in the US, so you basically earn more while your costs remain the same.
Yup. I don't understand that and I've looked everywhere to see if intra-ear earplugs were dangerous. Nothing.

Actually, Elixir support comes from API changes to be more Elixir friendly (for example order of parameter to be "pipe" friendly).

For some projects we are even starting writing code directly in Elixir.

Large projects are never simple and fun. Blaming it on tools is too often just scapegoating.

Chasing a magic bullet can temporarily make it look like you're avoiding the problems of large projects, because when you're constantly switching frameworks you never actually reach the point of having built something large enough.

I said more in the other thread, but I'll leave another note in this one.

What I think Meteor has the most going for them is the ultimate UX experience for the developer. If they really hone in on making it enjoyable, and dare I say fun to work on product... then they've won in my book.

Meteor has given me that feeling thus far, and given the new trends in the community I am sure they are moving in the right direction. I've spoken with the guys there and they are carefully reviewing what the best routes are to take that creates the best experience.

Meteor is not just a vision, it's a real experience you can tap into right now that benefits a very powerful suite of tools to get up and running. We have an enterprise app built with it and it's going great. Yes, it'll bite you in the ass if you don't learn how things work (pub/sub/mergebox/reactivity) but just dive in a little and you'll see it's just a library composed of other libraries that are well documented and easy to learn. It's all really quite simple really. The beauty and evil word "magic", is how they all play well with each other.

React is probably a better choice than Blaze at this point, even for the pure fact that it allows Meteor to not worry about the view and focus on the overall UX experience of the developer above all else.

To achieve this, first thing I am trying to do is to make a post request to the above URL using POSTMAN so that I may test things. But the problem is, I am not getting the desired result using POSTMAN. When I submit to the above url via browser, I come to view the bill; but via POSTMAN, I get the form back which I submitted.

It is fine and dandy until you get to cooperate (e.g. share task lists) or especially use machines not configured by yourself. The productivity is a third or less then in my experience.

Then it's a losing battle to keep compatibility between your custom solution and everyone elses. To add insult to injury, few of the mainstream tools allow proper import and export which could be automated.

And plenty of web tools don't even allow easy access to single functions, you get to deal with whole AJAX, cookies and all the mess... Bonus if the tool is closed, then it is a large reverse engineering effort.

Why Java and Ruby?
> Large projects are never simple

I disagree. When designed correctly, large projects are simple to work on individual features and only complex when observed in aggregate as as complete system.

> Chasing a magic bullet can temporarily make it look like you're avoiding the problems of large projects, because when you're constantly switching frameworks you never actually reach the point of having built something large enough.

I never alluded to scrapping or restarting projects to get on the latest framework so not sure where this comment came from. I've build large systems with "jQuery", large systems with React and Flux. The latter was simpler to work on, more fun, and suited the needs of the client.
What about car sharing schemes such as Car2Go, Zipcar, etc, where you pay just for the amount of time you use the car? Unlike autonomous cars, these are available now and proven to be successful.

Here in Rome Car2Go have over 600 cars, so you are usually no more than 5 minutes walk from one. You can also leave it anywhere in the 'home zone', rather than having to find a specific car sharing parking space. There is also another service run by the city that has a similar number of cars. The prices are quite high, but if you just need it for odd trips (i.e. not commuting every day) it's still going to be cheaper than owning a car, and a lot easier than having to deal with public transport.

Yes, I never used Q-tips all my life until I had to use earplugs to sleep in a rather noisy environment. Those caused itching and I used Q-tips to scratch the ear canal.

Since then, I must confess I am addicted. I tried to wean myself from Q-tips use, but I can't. The little buggers cause something I like to call an eargasm, it just feels so good. They also cause more irritation just to make sure you keep using them - they are worse than cocaine.
You can sort strings also in linear time with a trie (for example). This requires O(n) time, where n is the total length of the input (i.e. sum of lengths of strings).
Most ear buds are larger and don't get twisted or worked around in there. I think the health issues predate ear buds too.

I am curious if ear buds case the same injuries though.
The benefit of my way is that you get pipelining (which lets you maintain O(1) throughput without having a fill/flush cycle), as well as better scaling (due to said pipelining) and better energy usage due to smaller fanout.

The limit is usually address space fragmentation and at one point not being able to find a piece of memory large enough for an allocation. Depending on the allocation patterns this may happen around 3 GiB but for some applications even around 1.7 GiB already. VS gets unbearably slow around 2 GiB memory, though, most likely because the native allocator has to piece together all free pieces of memory again and in the managed part the GC probably has fun trying to compact memory.
rearranged my repo, here is the scalable, pipelined way of doing this, it ends up being an insertion sort with the benefit of small fanout (for lower energy), better scalability (faster due to lower fanout and shorter critical path with pipelining), and maintains O(1) throughput (no fill/drain cycle).

Free Web Performance and DevOps Reports – O'Reilly Media
The Universal Postal Union was classically focused on international letter mail, back when that mattered. Until 1969, there were no terminal delivery charges, much like the early days of the Internet when there were no peering charges. Each country had to deliver within its own country for free. But because letter traffic tended to be roughly equal in both directions, this wasn't a problem.

When terminal delivery charges came in, countries were divided into classes based on economic criteria, basically gross national income per capita. Surface area of the country is also figured in.[2] Because there hasn't been a recalc of this in a few years, China gets a very good rate. This may change in 2016.

+1. Meteor should try to optimize their build time (for example, when I just changed one JS file, there's no point to spend more than 20 seconds to reload a simple page) and be frontend agnostic. The main thing I like Meteor (and also why I'm still sticking around) is how it manages data and the DDP stuff. Never a fan of Blaze, but certainly not sure about this "future vision".
> Anyways, I’ve been learning some interesting things about OSX that I’ll be sharing soon.

Nice, that should be amusing to read. OSX is a very strange system -- it has two system call APIs (BSD, and Mach), which respectively have some very odd holes. Some of the OSX syscalls return values split between 32 bit registers instead of in a single 64 bit register, while others don't. Some of them return things by value, even though the C API specifies out parameters. And so on.

I've spent way too much time trying to figure out how this stuff works on OSX when writing Myrddin (https://github.com/oridb/mc). I've still got quite a bit more to do so that I can finish implementing libthread on OSX.
> this was primarily Notebook and Server focused

Redux has good tools. You can restore your state after hot-reloading your changed JavaScript code. You can do time-traveling to restore your app state in any point of time (using new code) but old state. IMO that's an incredible improvement for development.

Shitty little podunk towns, man. Just like the article.

Few decades ago, shortly after moving from Kansas, I drove home for Thanksgiving. I saw a speedtrap many miles in advance, passed it, and miles later I see, in the rearview mirror, a cop cross the median and he bridged the gap with ungodly speed. At no time was he going my speed. He pulls me over, claims I was going 15 over using the pace method. He comes back with a ticket, but it has radar checked. I pointed out this discrepancy and said I won't sign the ticket. He says to sign it or I'm going to jail. Had it not been for Thanksgiving, I'd have called his bluff.

Thing is, the rot goes to the top. The D.A. was in on it. And the town judge. It was all about making money. Plain, ordinary robbery.

And I know that because I accused them all of it (over the phone). They were way way more pissed than they should have been if they were innocent. The vitriol I heard confirmed my suspicion.

There's some out there, but not much. I haven't been able to find any for things like bsdthread_create, other than reading the open source code that Apple put out for libpthread.

Thankfully, that code was available -- without it, I would have had no idea that the 'stack' parameter for bsdthread_create would act as the stack size, instead of as the a pointer to the top (or bottom) of the stack.

Although, that being said, I'm currently still stuck on getting it working. The test for spawning threads is fine when I run it under 'sudo dtruss test/spawn', but as soon as it's not under dtruss, it fails to spawn the thread.

EDIT: when I say "some", I should probably post a link.
