I think there's some valid points in this article, but there's also a valid point that kind of undermines a central thesis to this article:

A logo does not need to tell you what it's for if your first viewing is out of context. In fact, 99% of good logos won't accomplish that task. The point is to be recognizable once you know what it is already, and be pleasant to look at over and over.

Now, whether any of the minimalist logos meet that criteria is up to the user. But judging logos on whether you can tell what they're for out of context is a false criteria.

How would you know the Apple logo is for a computer company out of context? You'd be more apt to guess it was for an orchard or cider company. How would you know the modern Windows logo is for the operating system out of context, and not just a bunch of boxes for a moving company or something.

Ambiguity in logos is not remotely a bad thing. What makes a good logo or bad logo is mostly subjective.

The main objective thing I would damn most of the logos highlighted in the article on is being so derivative that they become tedious.
I don't know enough about hacking IoT projects (unfortunately), but this seems like it could be promising. Good luck!
That's interesting, I can recall getting charged although I don't remember the details. I've never used the "official" AMIs, though, so perhaps it was because we built our own. Either way, thanks!

Getters and setters are an anti-pattern that works around a specific deficit in a programming language. In Python, if you want to refactor an object so that `foo.bar = baz` does something other than blindly set foo's bar to baz, you can. In Java, you can't, which is why setting foo's bar to baz is done with `foo.setBar(baz)`.
I believe there is one wave caused by each leading and trailing edge of the plane's structure.. so there are 5 waves, 1) nose of plane, 2) leading edge of wing, 3) trailing edge of wing, 4) leading edge of vert stabilizer, 5) trailing edge of vert stabilizer / back end of the plane.. the angle tells you the mach number it is traveling at.. see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_shock
we use it for a fairly large postgres database (growing 4-5GB a day) and haven't had any big issues so far. currently looking at a sort of catch-22 issue at the moment where the application running flyway also reads information from the database to initialize some caches and that data is inserted and maintained by another application. this works fine on an already initialized database but not for the automated testing server where the data is wiped.
I guess that announcement makes sense for professional content producers, but this is mostly a clickbait product. One that we won't probably see in real life, although it's clear that VR has pushed interest for 360 videos.

Good as an option, probably, but most of the time flat video is ideal. We'll see if that changes with these products or the ones made for big audiences (Samsung Gear 360, and LG Cam 360). I wouldn't bet my life on it. Adventure cameras have already reached their limits, it seems, for example, and I see a similar scenario on this case.
Premium H1B results for masters out
I dunno, I just felt like the phrasing was unclear.

That the parents are in a situation where they decide to sell their house to support their lifestyle is perhaps worth examining, but that's the problem, not that the contract they enter into has to be settled.
This is swindling investors, there is no such star at such distance. This is because the earth is flat with a dome overhead. Watch a video from a high definition zoom camera on the planets and stars in the sky, they are revealed to be much closer and not at all what you think. Take a look, youll be amazed.
How many other technologies that are in use today have such devastating and long lasting side effects as nuclear energy?

If a whole farm of wind turbines falls over, its a huge fuck up, and its quite possible people will die.

It's pretty unlikely people will get sick and/or die if they visit the site the next day in flip flops and a Hawaiian shirt.
I guess I was assuming that there is a link between reaching people through social media and success in the arts. If I want to sell a book or album and I am not backed by a large publisher, I would likely have to market the book myself. The best way would probably be through social media.
This reminds me of the "SASV" laptop for sale screenshot (ASUS).
The namecheap CIO never uses the word mistake. The execs rarely show any remorse. Best case they delegate to underlings like the social media guru.
The build process took a long time. But it works fine :). I had no problems getting it to work on

So that's nice :D

EDIT:

Honestly I feel kinda bad about dismissing this project so quickly. It works really well, and now that I took a better look at the examples I must say that it actually looks quite elegant. I didn't understand what I was seeing at first :o
Out of curiosity, have you thought about registering neocities.org as a Public Suffix? Aside from bypassing the rate limits, neocities.org seems like it would belong on the list, given that you're (more or less) delegating control over subdomains to other parties. The PSL has implications for cookie scope as well (which might or might not be a concern for you).

I would very much like to see wildcard support in ACME and hope that Let's Encrypt will adopt it eventually (although I think clients should offer it as an opt-in, as not to encourage practices which are bad for security), and I think that both of your examples are a good fit for wildcard certificates. I'd probably still stick with a regular wildcard as well - $100/yr vs. managing ~1k+ SAN certificates sounds like a bad trade-off - but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
I realise this is an appeal to authority, which is bad and wrong in any argument, but I trust Stephen Hawking wouldn't back a project that falls down on the physics.
Sure, as long as the nuclear reactor is literally in your backyard and nowhere close to me, I'm ok with nuclear power.
Perhaps because some many users upvote articles with a clear and concise thesis even if they disagree with it? An article can spur productive discussion even if the premise of the article is wrong. I frequently post articles that I disagree with, hoping to see whether someone can show me why I'm wrong. That said, in this case do I agree with the consensus: of all the things, why is he complaining about braces?
People are talking about sharecropping, but this seems to me like they're trying to make Slack-like integrations for the general (non-dev) public. Can someone explain why this is different from Slack's model of using their platform to make apps?

Also people sound like they want to make money from an app on Facebook's platform. But I'd think that to consider making your start-up off someone else's platform is just a bad idea to begin with. Maybe have integrations to the messenger app from your app, but making an entire app on the messenger platform is a bad idea.
I loved Zao! That disappoints me
I've known. It's certainly on display these days.
The're still up $7 billion even if they pay the full amount if you include the bailout.
Agreed. But then again i'm not sure what would be the best way here to meet everybodys needs and was hoping for a discussion:
While forking is encouraged by Git(Hub) it also tends to fragment the community. So i see Jimmys points but it also puts a lot of burden on the already update-plagued react-router users.
Yup. Currently supporting a future working artist. How to make a living as a working artist is a big topic for her cohort.

I've been optimistic for stuff like etsy.com and artsyo.com. I have some additional notions (use cases) that I probably won't ever have the gumption to tackle, but would love to see happen.

Now I wonder about the marketing magic required for self-promotion and "multi-channel" content. Of her peers is a genius for self-promotion, self-publishing. Another does side gigs teaching art, running events like art parties for children birthdays. And everyone's chasing commissions, of course.

Not so different from being a consultant or small biz entrepreneur , really.

Ah, got it. Yeah, publishers and record labels seem to serve primarily as well-oiled marketing machines these days.

But surely you could organize your own precision-strike book or album release via targeted online ads. I'd be surprised if there weren't lots of companies trying to sell this service.
Just run it inside Emacs and you'll have a log of everything you do. In fact you could overlay C++ mode on top of shell mode and have syntax highlighting and everything.
This is very ambitious!

Has there ever been an educational game of this nature that was extremely successful? Oregon Trail, Civ, etc. don't count because they do their teaching through the environment. I'm not saying it would be impossible to make something really impactful, but I'd be worried about plowing a ton of dev effort into a new platform with lots of graphics PLUS enough ESL content to make it worthwhile and actually be fun.

Hmm though: I realized that English, at least written, is one of those things that people can improve at greatly through online interactions with others.

Anyway, the other fear I have about this product is that it seems like "a solution looking for a problem" -- it seems like you know ESL, and you are excited about VR, and you want to combine the two. But that's not the way to create a company; you need a market demand and then design a product to fill the demand.
Rails 5 allows directing logs to STDOUT in production
I saw Steve Miller a few years back in concert. I wouldn't have even considered myself a fan before having seen him, but I came away very impressed. I was even dreading "Abracadabra," but so help me that song was great live.

His singing and playing were both spot on. His sound was terrific. I'm a guitar player myself, and the tones he got from his Les Paul and Strat were textbook examples of classic, excellent tone. The band was tight as a band can be. It was a great night of music. The guy is a first rate musician.
However, this is much clearer than firing said lasers from under the atmosphere. While charged dust is a problem for the laser equipment itself, this can be mitigated with special dust attracting equipment. Getting the lasers to the moon would be a bigger problem.
Go deep enough into Banking mechanisms and regulation, you will find that loan securitization was/and is (nothing has really changed) a huge exploit on the regulatory controls that had been developed around banking up to that point.

We, the public, respond to the signals provided by the monetary system. When that system malfunctions - and it is just as capable of being exploited as any other distributed system - the public behaviour is really the effect rather than the cause.
No, the point is to stop accidents from happening. Specially when they're this obviously preventable. I mean, we're talking about literally the most obvious precaution that one could possibly take when building in a Tsunai zone.

Edit: Really, downvotes?
Schiff seems to assume a design must always communicate on first glance. However, a design like this has many chances to make an impression.

The multiplicity of nonsense words the logo could encode is irrelevant to its quality. Having seen and correctly interpreted 'mitp' once, top-down visual priming guarantees you will never again see 'imlji,' 'nnlji,' 'uolp,' or 'oulji.'

It's like those "can yeu raed tihs" memes. Of course you can read it. Especially the second time.

(I do think Cooper's original logo is brilliant, and the MIT Media Lab logos are overly systematized.)
I'm curious, so does that mean imgur has more active users now?
FWIW, while this says "Sold by: Colin Percival", the FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE images were built and uploaded by the release engineering team; my only involvement this time was to let the Marketplace team know that a new release was available. The FreeBSD project takes the issue of "bus factors" seriously, and while I started the FreeBSD/EC2 project the intention has always been that it would get handed off to the FreeBSD release engineering team; with 11.0-RELEASE we should finally have the last bits sorted out and it will show up in the Marketplace as "Sold by: The FreeBSD Project".

EDIT: Hijacking my own comment slightly, since it's at the top right now: I'm not sure why 10.3-RELEASE being in the AWS Marketplace is a story when 10.2-RELEASE, 10.1-RELEASE, 10.0-RELEASE, 9.3-RELEASE, 9.2-RELEASE, 9.1-RELEASE, and 9.0-RELEASE being in the AWS Marketplace weren't. The hand-off from me to the release engineering team has been gradual (made slower by the fact that we only get to try something new once every 6 months!) but as far as users are concerned FreeBSD has been in the AWS Marketplace for years.
I've always wanted a heap inspection function. Give it a pointer and it returns the amount of data allocated to it. I mean free() can figure it out, why can't I see it?

I'm sure there are some good technical reasons that make this difficult/expensive, but there aren't even any half measures available. Not even something that requires the pointer be at the start of the originally malloc()ed memory and can return an error code if the pointer is somewhere in the middle of the heap or off in lala land.

A function like that would at least make defensive programming possible and not require people to manually pass in the size of their buffer all of the time.
I'm more worried about where the reflected light is going to go once it bounces off the sails. Presumably it'll fall back on earth, where that amount of energy could cause a lot of damage.
I looked into this because I thought it was a little odd. The only precedence I can find of this is a single lawsuit, the PDF of which is here:

http://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/Superior/out/A36025_1...

This really doesn't have anything to do with inheritance, especially so since his mother wasn't (and presumably still isn't) deceased. It has to do with some states having laws requiring parents/children, who have the means to do so, to support their child/parent who is poor or otherwise incapable of supporting themselves.

In this court case, the child was found to be financially capable and also legally liable for supporting his mother. Because of this, he was found responsible for paying off the debt, but only as he was capable of doing so.

If the son in this case only made the national median income, had a large family to support, and didn't have any wiggle room in his budget, he very likely would not have been found liable for this debt.
Similar tools for the . NET world include Roundhouse and fluentmigrator.net. I'm personally more of a fan of the latter, but we use both in our company in conjunction with Octopus Deploy. Roundhouse needs a bit too much Powershell for my liking.
I'm crying. Remember when messaging was built on open platforms and standards like XMPP and IRC? The golden year(s?) when Google Talk worked with AIM and anyone could choose whatever client they preferred?

Welcome to the future friends when we must pay to battle the keymasters and gatekeepers on their terms to do what we used to do ourselves, for free.

First they took my RSS, then they took my XMPP... Who can guess whats next?
A step towards such a project is to send such probes to every object in the solar system.
I've just started filling them with randomly generated strings that my password manager helpfully creates for me. Though, apparently my bank uses those answers for phone verification also, which makes answering questions like "What's your Significant Other's nickname?" awkward when the answer is "F9-#g7a2<qj"
Imgur might, but I doubt Instagram will die if FB and Twitter went away.
To answer that question, you need to know a little bit about diffraction-limited systems in optics and the Rayleigh criterion.

Essentially, point-like sources (the laser emitter array and the target can be considered point sources when on the scale of lightyears) separated by an angle smaller than the angular resolution of the device in question cannot be resolved.
If you built apartments without parking in SF, people would live in them.
There's a word for people who only care about their own quality of life, and not that of those around them: "assholes".

Don't be an asshole, and don't advocate "fuck you got mine" practices like these. Let's work to dismantle abusive systems like Facebook.
It's unfortunate that Tidal is/was such a bust because that really is the right way forward for artists. The big streaming services - Spotify/Google/Apple Music are all just continuing to prop up this horrible abomination known as the "music business" and their business as usual.

Record companies provide three basic functions to artists:

A source of financing.

A distribution system.

A marketing department.

There are alternative channels for each of these now:

Financing has largely been democratized by things like kickstarter et al.

Distribution is a solved problem via either all the services largely propping up the 3 major labels or else soundcloud, youtube etc.

There's plenty of independent marketing companies that will "work your record" for a fee.
It's more than that. http://bit.ly/1sLUaQP

Unfortunately lots of Go code on GitHub has significant oversights, this included. I remember reporting a DoS bug in a different Go acme library identical to this one I found in acmetool in less than 60s:

https://github.com/hlandau/acme/blob/master/acmeapi/ocsp.go#...

In case it is not obvious, anyone in a privileged point on the network can fill resb with enough data that the program panics due to OOM and crashes. ioutil.ReadAll really needs a big warning in the docs because I have seen this pattern far too often.
Does anyone remember the talk of computing going the way of smart agents? It was 20 years ago or so. Apple was one of the main proponents. It never happened then but appears to be happening now. Of course the big success back then was Microsoft's Clippy, the animated paper clip. (grin)
Very nice. If I had a website I might be excited about this.

What is "standing up"?

I'm interested in your Flytrap language. Can you bring it to other platforms, like mobile?

They own the rights to everything. I believe the RIAA gets paid even if music is played/streamed that they don't own the rights to, until the musicians come claim the money. Movies and music showed how much power they have over the last two decades once Napster and later torrenting lit a fire under their asses. It's not just our government that is in their pockets. The TPP is a good example of them using the US' position as economic superpower to get their wishes imposed on other countries. See also: Megaupload.
It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway...

Huh? I can drive from downtown Toronto to the nearest nuclear power plant in under 30 minutes. This is one of the largest plants in the world, mind you.
Wow great news! I know that bringing FreeBSD to AWS was a HUGE PITA, so props to everyone for making this happen!
You really don't need to attend MIT to work on projects with people like these. Near me there's a tool library, a makerspace, two hackerspaces, a biotechspace, an art college, several medical schools, many different kinds of collectives, and several big art-focused festivals with grants.

As a person who dropped out of high school and never went to college, i've worked on big art builds involving mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, thermodynamics, biotech, and mixed media art. The only thing i've ever worked hard on are these projects, which were all for fun.

I'm sure a school like MIT is great, but thankfully you don't need it :-)
Also seconding the confusion that other commenters have regarding the "three commits max" rule for automated deploys. Maybe engineers at Facebook are just big fans of rebasing, but I often make commits on feature branches that don't "stand on their own" - i.e., would break some functionality without subsequent commits. I'm not sure why you'd want to deploy one-commit-at-a-time unless you kept a very strict "one commit == one standalone feature/bugfix" rule, which isn't mentioned in this post.

(I suppose it's also possible that that's referring specifically to merge commits into master, which would make a lot more sense to me)
> They aren't getting paid a subsidy, they are paying less tax because of higher expenses.

They broke the law, but get to claim it on their taxes as an expense.

That's like deducting my speeding ticket payments as an expense on my tax return.
