FYI it's really dead simple to write new "bokeh" command line tools as Bokeh apps now. We already have several ("bokeh html" and "bokeh json") but we are definitely interested in make a gnuplot-like bokeh command line tool that you can just point at a CSV or log file and get a visualization right out. E.g. something like "bokeh graph foo.log -x time -y connections --tail" would create an automatically updating visualization of a growing log file. Or if anyone is interested in this functionality and wants to help speed along the development, please let us know!

Soundcloud seems like the only service that allows other sites to use the music data. By that I mean the ability to use actually use the track's sample data for creative coding audio reactive projects like http://vertexshaderart.com

On the negative side, as others have pointed out, they haven't done much to make the site better for various definitions of better. I've found searching fairly lacking. I'd love something that tried to find tracks I'd like (is that something deep learning could figure out?).

Also when searching for music I type in some keyword and then start listening to tracks. The browser gets more and more bogged down the more tracks I listen to. Something about their design is adding more parallel work with each new track clicked on. Maybe that's a browser bug? Eventually I have to refresh the page and then scroll back down to the last track I played and continue the process of listening to tracks.
Thanks for sharing Oliver!
Agreed. Facebook's entire monetization strategy seems to be just showing ads to people who waste their time there looking at stupid videos and posting stupid comments to them. That's pretty easily defeated with an ad-blocker.

LinkedIn's strategy is, as you said, a socially-connected CV platform so that recruiters can find people and hook them up with jobs, and make a big commission in the process, so LinkedIn charges recruiters a hefty fee for access to people. Ad-blockers aren't going to have any effect here: the recruiters still have to pay to send messages to people. It seems like a much more sound business strategy, as long as professionals still need jobs and there's recruiters looking to place them in jobs. It might not have the mass appeal of the inanity of Facebook or Twitter (since only a fraction of the population is of the demographic that would find it worthwhile to use LinkedIn; someone working as a barista or a Walmart cashier would not), but it certainly isn't subject to the same fickleness that those two are. All it'll take is some other inane social media platform to rise up for people to share dumb videos on and for FB/Twitter to do something dumb to piss off people, and suddenly they could become the next MySpace. LinkedIn's position is much stronger, as long as they don't screw it up trying to achieve the popularity of those other two.

And from my understanding a lot of packaged food is intentionally irradiated after it has been sealed. Here's an FDA article about the process:

http://www.fda.gov/Food/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm261680....

So aside from contamination, those sandwiches are likely slightly safer than from other places since the radiation in the area will help sanitise surfaces and foods.

My only concern would be if the water staff used to wash up was contaminated from the soil. But assuming the water is good the food is likely good too.

I'm sure the same would have been said about Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and a billion other startups that eventually made it. Aren't auditors supposed to be very conservative?

Ah, so this was possible, and occasionally done back then, but the real reason it wasn't was less to do with capability, and more to do with everyone wanting to ride on top of Apache. Apache handled a lot of stuff you wouldn't want to in a CGI (at that time), so it made sense to use it. Apache forked (and/or threaded depending on era), so variables shared in memory wasn't common. That said, people set up shared memory regions, or used file based sessions and /dev/shm, which is functionally the same, and had much the same thing.
> And then the ringing stopped as the two holes coalesced into a single black hole, a trapdoor in space with the equivalent mass of 62 suns. All in a fifth of a second, Earth time.

Am I reading this correctly, that shortly after the detector came online we just happened to observe the exact moment a billion years ago that two black holes collided?

Was that extremely coincidental? Or do these events happen all the time, and so if it wasn't those two black holes it would be two others?

I think the upper bound of Moore's law foreshadows another impending boundary:

There is a fundamental boundary on all technological progress.
Here's the abstract:

On September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory simultaneously observed a transient gravitational-wave signal. The signal sweeps upwards in frequency from 35 to 250 Hz with a peak gravitational-wave strain of 1.0×10−21. It matches the waveform predicted by general relativity for the inspiral and merger of a pair of black holes and the ringdown of the resulting single black hole. The signal was observed with a matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 24 and a false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203 000 years, equivalent to a significance greater than 5.1σ. The source lies at a luminosity distance of 410+160−180  Mpc corresponding to a redshift z=0.09+0.03−0.04. In the source frame, the initial black hole masses are 36+5−4M⊙ and 29+4−4M⊙, and the final black hole mass is 62+4−4M⊙, with 3.0+0.5−0.5M⊙c2 radiated in gravitational waves. All uncertainties define 90% credible intervals. These observations demonstrate the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems. This is the first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger.

Being bilingual helped me understand English grammar in a way I wouldn't have otherwise. It also helped my writing skills immensely (IMO). Taking college junior/senior level French literature classes was extraordinarily difficult but rewarding. I did more work for my one French class than I did for five junior/senior level business classes (Finance/Accounting/MIS). It's why I eventually stopped, that and I realized I don't like evaluating literature in English, much less French (they didn't have business language classes at my Uni in the 1990s).

Perhaps the problem is that because rates are so high, and people who need them so desperate, it is a no-brainer why the profit margins are low.

Perhaps a better alternative would be a general credit line available to all Americans managed by the CFPB. The credit limit would be rather small, in the low hundreds, but would be higher for citizens with better credit scores.

Why subsidize loans to this degree? Because there are many, many people that are so poor, payday loans can be their only option, burrowing them into crippling debt, which makes them scarcer consumers (less tax from commerce), economically precarious (more likely to require welfare of some kind), and societally corrosive (what happens when the children of severely indebted parents grow up? Another generation of poverty, most likely).

By all means, let payday lenders do their thing, but they need competiton. Before homeownership policies of the mid 20th century, you would have to be rich to afford a house (when a 50% down payment was normal). Now it's an expectation of middle class life. Competiton is a good thing, and so is letting the government compete.

I definitely empathize. It's a technically challenging problem, there are lots of competing important priorities, and we are a small team that can only humanly accomplish so much work at once. Our vision for Bokeh was to be able to create and share interactive data applications with a minimum of python and little-to-no JS and "web tech" required. We are closing in on that vision, so it is my fervent hope (and intention) that we'll be able to turn to this important priority soon as well.

Perhaps a better alternative would be a general credit line available to all Americans managed by the CFPB. The credit limit would be rather small, in the low hundreds, but would be higher for citizens with better credit scores.

This solves nothing - the people who are generally signing up for payday loans almost certainly don't have great credit. (If they did, they'd be a lot more likely to be able to get a real loan or put the short term needs on a card)

And as I put my anecdata hat on: There's plenty of competition among payday lenders. I live in what barely qualifies for a city, and there are at least 10 different outfits within about 5 minutes drive, some standalone, some pawn shops.

With a stackoverflow-like system (rating, moderation, editing of questions by moderators, accepted answer) even such questions would be productive. Subjective ramblings would be voted away, answers showing advantages/disadvantages or similiarities between between frameworks would be rated up.

It's just stupid to reduce such a portal to only questions that can be answered by RTFM.

Questions that need discussion due to missing information should be voted away, I agree on that. But some allow subjective answers - and those are frequently those that require experience. (What's the best way to solve this-and-that? It depends, in situation a use solution A because, in situation b use solution B because, ...) Such questions typically are being closed by the moderators as well. And frequently the person who asks is not aware of all the factors influencing a solution, so there's a lot of useful information in such questions.

> Was that extremely coincidental? Or do these events happen all the time, and so if it wasn't those two black holes it would be two others?

From the article, no one knows: "Black holes, the even-more-extreme remains of dead stars, could be expected to do the same, but nobody knew if they existed in pairs or how often they might collide. If they did, however, the waves from the collision would be far louder and lower pitched than those from neutron stars."
The title is misleading.
Should be changed to "I'm a web developer and I realized that chasing after every new tech under the sun can be counterproductive".

I do agree that with the semi-recent "resurgence" of Javascript there's an abundance of frameworks and tools out there both for the client and server side making the selection of the "ecosystem" that would fit your needs challenging.

My take on this is stick to the basics until you realize that you need to look into something new. Client-side technology upgrades are reasonably simple as long as the client-server contract is defined up front (we doing old school gets/posts or ajax or wss etc?).

Server-side decisions are a little more tricky than that but once you commit to a definite decision on the server side tech, the specifics can be worked out down the road without affecting the client.
