No it's not. Etag is completely different. It's a tag that the webserver sends together with the response and which the browser sends to the server which can then return a 304 status code to indicate that the resource has not changed and the browser can use the cached copy.

What the parent spoke about is adding some attribute to an anchor tag which specifies the hash of the resource so the browser can do safe cross domain caching without needing to do any request whatsoever.
Yep. You are doing it because it is faster for you, not because it is illegal.
> You're talking about using stuff in closed source or commercial software? Do you imagine a commercial company who you licensed a library from and then proceeded to violate that license would be friendlier than that? Never mind hall of shame, you'll be looking at demands for thousands of dollars. They could be nicer about it but if they believe closed source software is inherently harmful to its users I can understand their position, and it's not their job to give you free legal advice.

They are pretending they are free software but they are not. They pretend they are non profit but use scare tactics like commercial companies. Seriously its one thing to contribute for public good and another thing to restrict its usage. I am sorry but no matter how many times GPL envenglists redefine "free", its not.

Tripmap | Remote | Full Stack or Backend Dev | Contract

Tripmap.me is a social map creation platform. We are a team of digital nomads bootstrapping to build an unique product.

I am looking to bring on to the team a lead dev to build the beta.

Primarily responsibilities will be backend. We are looking to use either Django as Node.

Ideally you have skills with Mongodb, Angular, and ExpressJS. There is a frontend dev on the team currently.

We are all passionate about the project and our specific roles, and we want to work with a developer who feels the same way. You must be team oriented and able to communicate with other people. Not looking for a rockstar ;) We prefer normal everyday people who just happen to be professionals in their area of expertise.

This is a contract position, however it would ideally be a long term engagement.

Requirements:

Minimum 2 years remote freelancing

Leadership experience

Proven engineering skills

Experience working with angular is an asset

Ability to give and receive feedback

Principles by Ray Dalio. My interpretation is that this book shows 'how to get what you want'.

That sounds so far up the chain of abstraction and generality, that it’s easy to dismiss the book. Don’t! The book is impressive partially because it manages to distill useful truths which are applicable at such a general level.

It's written by Ray Dalio, who is undoubtedly extraordinarily intelligent and remarkably determined to self-improve. He is the founder of the hedge fund Bridgewater Associates and consequently the 69th richest person in the world in 2015.

The firm itself is noted for it’s unique company culture. He believes that people can only improve through feedback and that there are strong social conventions and cognitive barriers which prevent people receiving the feedback they need. At Bridgewater, every meeting is recorded and broadcasted to the company. At any level in the company, if someone is being considered for a promotion, they will be invited for a discussion. Senior executives will discuss, in front of the candidate, the merits of whether to promote them or not.

The book contains elegant, simple, yet crucially important truths. They seem obvious at first sight, but he fleshes them out in such a way that you realise you don't really act consistently with those truths, even if you perhaps trick yourself into believing that you do. Through reading the book, you can internalise some of his approaches in understanding the world.

It’s a book which altered my way of thinking about the world in a profound way.

The reasons for IPv6 should be obvious by now, most importantly you are future proofing your service/product. Saying I don't need to deploy IPv6 is the same mentality that kept the world using Internet Explorer 6 for over half a decade, yes it works as is but it could be better.

Plus do you want to live in a world where something as basic as an IP address costs you an annual fee?

You'll also provide a faster service ahead of your competition:

http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/blog/2015/04/facebo...

http://www.computerworld.com/article/2983996/internet/ipv6-w...

To be honest, IPv6 isn't exactly hard for a lot of project. As buyers we just have to add it as a purchasing requirement. The real burden is on the ISPs and cloud providers.
Different countries have different problems which the article barely touches though the graph hints at.

The UK has a skills shortage, it's vacancy to applicants ratio is back to pre-recession levels despite huge levels of immigration from the EU. London is the 6th largest French city in terms of population, tens of thousands of millennials from Southern and Eastern Europe have migrated to the UK. This is brilliant because they are often well educated (by someone else) and motivated - we have several recently arrived European devs in our office.

However at the same time it takes people longer to get into jobs. Since the 90s the concept of a degree being a pre-requisite for professional jobs has been pushed and pushed. I remember at my grammar school it being assumed you were going to university. Combine this with the rise of the "gap year" and people are emerging into the job market years later than they used to, with different expectations about the kind of work they will do. The article (it is the Guardian after all) highlighted a charity sector employee - not a sector you traditionally associate with pay rises keeping up with the commercial sector. I know far too many acquaintances who emerged from university unwilling to work for a profit making enterprise.

Many European countries, especially in the south, have completely different issues - huge problems with youth unemployment which is driving emigration. A labour market which has two tiers of employees due to the difficulty of laying off permanent employees causing young people to disproportionately end up on casual contracts.

Someone much better placed will no doubt be able to explain the issues in the US and Canada, indeed I'd be unsurprised if there weren't different issues within the US.
If you liked Butler's perspective, then you will probably also like Garet Garrett's [0] oeuvre. He was an outspoken critic of WWI, and of America's entry into WWII until after Pearl Harbor. His position against an imperial America delivers a wider context to Butler's field experience as handmaiden to American power elites' ambitions accomplishing just that outcome.

You're going to have to prove that dramatic claim.

I say that business works extraordinarily well with science and is superior to eg government research by a great margin. As proven by Bell Labs, IBM research, Xerox PARC, Microsoft research, Google, Lockheed, Apple, Shockley, Intel, Fairchild, Samsung, Cisco, Texas Instruments, Boeing, Pfizer, Merck, Amgen, Gilead, Genentech, Standard Oil (one of the first highly successful commercial research labs), and thousands of other corporations. Even if those companies didn't always capitalize on their research, they produced tremendous science. The technology lead the US has enjoyed for most of a century proves this fact, as it is heavily (not solely) derived from the scientific output of its corporations.

The US became by far the world leader on pharma and biotech specifically because a business, profit-seeking approach to those industries produces a dramatically greater outcome in terms of innovation.

If that weren't the case, the US would be dead last in pharma and biotech over the last 50 years, given its market approach.

Sometimes I get the feeling like you were responding to, and then I remind myself that I grew up with next to nothing. I was lucky enough to realize in college (computers were just becoming ubiquitous when I started college) I had a knack for programming and it was the right time to have that knack. I have had experiences I never thought possible when I was a kid.

But there is a benefit to the feeling - the drive work hard.

I've no skin in this game, and I don't fully understand the technical problems and solutions for bitcoin. I also don't understand the challenges facing moderators of reddit.

It does seem strange to me, however, that people are calling for consensus on an issue where 1) most discussion occurs online, and 2) for which there exists no balanced forum that allows all points of view to be heard.

Perhaps the community should solve this problem first. Or get the right people in a room together again and hire someone like Dale Carnegie who's good at helping people work together to lead a session. If they haven't tried that, they haven't tried everything.

Hello all, Arvados developer here to answer your questions.
I agree that there are many problems with LinkedIn, but my (contrarian) view is that it is still useful for me:

- contact information for professional contacts in one place, updated by them

- job offers (yes, mostly good or at least decent)

- can look up people to see their experience and common contacts

- updates on what previous colleagues are up to.

> Unnamed rich hopeful approaches a load of people and tells them (s)he will pay them $AMOUNT if they vote for him/her

Isn't that basically the current system? Replace the $AMOUNT with healthcare/tax breaks etc.

> Likewise, a random thug can politely offer to break the legs of someone if they do not vote his/her way.

Clearly this could already happen - stooges could be used and people could be threatened. The secrecy of votes would not make a difference. If people were hell bent on stealing an election, large scale illegal activity would be easier to spot with a public ledger.

I use Github Pages for my status page too.

Not something I use for websites/web apps I develop for clients, but for my own irrelevant website, I go as far as to cheat and use the following:

<img src="https://des.tination.server/img/1px.gif"
onload="statusOk()"
onerror="statusDown()"
alt="">

<script>

function statusOk()
{
// do something involving green and check marks
}

function statusDown()
{
// do something involving red... and crosses
}

</script>

That you know of. The most common negative response would most likely be an eye roll and going elsewhere/talking to someone else.
Incredible work. My only comment is that the progressive loading example reveals that their algorithm seems to have desirable properties for lossy compression as well. Why not make FLIF support lossy and lossless? It's hard enough to get a new image format standardized as it is; offering a lossy mode would effectively give us a two-for-one deal.

If PNG had a lossy mode that was even slightly better than JPEG (or exactly as good but with full alpha channel support) it would have eventually supplanted JPEG just as it has now supplanted GIF.
Facebook is terrible for this. I thought I'd opted out of all communications, yet I still receive these enticer emails and also things about how my "business page" needs updating.

The only reason I still have a Facebook account is "in case" I ever need to contact some of those old associates or school friends (a bit like hoarding old computer parts - I might need them one day!). I still have a LinkedIn account because I changed industry and thought I should at least have some way of contacting old business associates if I ever needed a way back.

Otherwise, I'd have deleted both accounts. They are of no practical use to me on a day to day basis, and I only hold on to them for a "just in case I need to contact someone" situation.
Are there any decent open source status page systems that do the monitoring for you? I'm just looking for a basic ping or JSON response to automatically update the page for me. I'd like for the page to show there's a problem before I manually work it out for myself!
as far as you've noticed although its obviously impossible to prove a negative.

But you won't notice you've not received offers of employment on linkedin (because you don't have a linkedin account) or missed out on social events on facebook (because you don't have a facebook account - and won't necessarily see the photos/aftermath statuses etc).

There's no patent keeping other companies from producing Daraprim equivalents for sale in the US, it's just that no generic maker had bothered to setup an FDA approved production process.

There's a few thousand people using it in the US, so there isn't a huge market for it.

Medicare is a big enough consumer that it should probably be running a program where it shares risk with generic makers that are willing to produce drugs that don't cost a lot, as long as the company maintains quality. Basically, make sure that line start up and regulatory costs aren't preventing $1 pills for rare conditions coming to market.

Yes, I think that makes the most sense to keep C++/CX language constructs isolated to only a few places that need to talk to the UWP APIs, similar to how one would contain Objective-C(++) when talking to OSX APIs to only a few places.

I currently live with my parents, have negative net worth, have no friends, no girlfriend, no job, and can't afford to buy a new PC, and my current one is trying to die on me, and I need it to do the occasional odd-job that shows up.

In my experience, it's not site designers making this decision. Especially on larger sites, many business rules come from other places that are more interested in forcing numbers to increase and don't think the whole thing through like a designer might.

And, let's not forget that UX as a thing is much more accepted as an important thing today than when this article was written. It's still a challenge for a lot of large companies, but there are many that are finally starting to catch on.
Not at all. Envato was just a source for two of the components I used. No affiliations or anything with them. I probably should have named ALL the other local software that I used to do the audio etc., but it would have become really long winded. I just wanted to point people to a spot they might find useful, like I did.
Only a small proportion of people (including me) watch the election process near election booths. The point is - everybody can, some small proportion actually does.

‘They Don’t Make These Anymore’: Maintaining the MBTA’s 100-Year-Old Signals
I don't know why, but seawater in my eyes absolutely causes me pain, not panic.
I remember hearing from someone who was on a long cruise trip, and on their first day, lost their glasses without hope for replacement. So they just had to cope with the rest of the trip without.

They said that it took a while to learn to cope, but once they did their short-sightedness didn't affect everyday life at all, apart from not being able to read. This included things like playing tennis.

I'm -4.5 in both eyes, and, interestingly, if I take my glasses off I can just about make out the words I'm typing here without adjusting the zoom level; mostly from shape. Zooming in a couple of notches makes the letters appear. Blurry and distorted, but legible (just). I can totally believe that practice would make me reasonably functional.
The Mongols were definitely more advanced after their conquests, but so was everybody else, simply because technology progresses. They did acquire technologies from the countries they conquered, but I don't think they were ever significantly ahead of all their neighbours, other than in their excellent organization, strategy and way of life that allowed them to do this in the first place.
Watched the video. It's pretty slick for $100. I went back to see how much you paid for voiceover, but your wife did it -- that's cheating! Like saying I made an explainer video in a day for free and oh, "my brother is a producer". I guess you could always do that part yourself to cut down on cost. How much would a voiceover actor have been? Did you need to work with Adobe after effects or was it just a library type dependency? If so, what did you think of it, how difficult was it to learn and work with?
How Do Devices Provide Haptic Feedback?
Here is a recording created by someone on reddit:

The above is close to what it should sound like.

Here are the reddit comment threads, some of which contain instructions for OSX:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/48xj46/bash_one_line...

https://www.reddit.com/r/coding/comments/48zvn4/bash_one_lin...

Someone recorded what they got working on OSX, and it sounded terrible (not how it sounds on my Ubuntu machine). I haven't tested this on a mac since I don't have one.

I was surprised that many people suggested listening to the music for pleasure or inspiration. There are a few things I could do that would probably improve the sounds quality: One is experimenting with the sampling rate of the sin wave, and another is adjusting the for loop to make sure that it ends on the end of the sine curve close to y = 0. Right now, for some notes it will just stop halfway through close to y=1, and the next note will start at y=0. I think that is the source of the 'poping' sound between notes.
So everyone agrees LinkedIn is shit and should be abandoned if only because every clickable icon in there is booby-trapped, yet the consensus seems to be "I'll keep using it because peer pressure and network"?

New darkest material created
Brazilians go to street against media monopoly
The article focuses on how a high list price can deceive consumers into thinking they're getting a good deal. That's true but it's not the whole story.

Sometimes a high list price is combined with custom discounts to extract the most money from each customer. You see this more often when a market is closer to a monopoly, e.g. enterprise software with high lock-in.

In microeconomics you learn about the supply-demand curve. Normally there is a gap between the price the customer is willing to pay and the price the supplier is willing to accept. Depending on the market price, some of this gap is the consumer surplus, and some is the producer surplus (i.e. value gained by each party).

When a supplier has the power to set their price depending on the customer, they can capture all of the value under the demand curve and maximise profit at the expense of the customer.

A related strategy in retail is coupon discounts. Price-sensitive customers will take the time to use the coupon (when they otherwise would have not purchased), while others will pay the list price. This helps maximise the profit overall.
