Haha, these posts do look very similar.

I have been hosting img42 off a $5 a mo/ droplet :P. It has served XXm+ impressions, and 1m uploads since its creation. I also have been sustaining a ~3m a day DDOS from Russia for about a year now.
I mis-read this was "implemented in VRML".

That would be impressive. :P
hey - just want clarification. I thought TKIs like gleevec give an asymptomatic period of years - do you mean by "develop resistance" the initial seed population of cells that are resistant emerge from a (presumably clonal or near-clonal) pool within months?

Second: Do you know if clinically, agents like gleevec are primarily used as standalone or in conjunction with more aggressive (and, unfortunately, side-effect laden) therapies? I was always a bit aware of the pernicious "maintenance drug" status of gleevec, but presumably if you combine it with an orthogonal therapy you could get higher coverage and better statistical odds of sending the patient into remission.
MSYS is an ancient branch of a common code base with Cygwin, which only needs just enough POSIX content in order to compile the utilities which are included in the toolchain which MSYS supports: the toolchain known as MinGW. That toolchain itself doesn't link programs against MSYS; it links programs against Microsoft's redistributable C run-time library (MSVCRT.DLL). Essentially, MinGW is a cross-compiler.

MSYS is a kind of "non-user-serviceable area" that you wouldn't deal with unless you were hacking on MinGW itself. Say you wanted to add some missing utility to MinGW, and there was some issue between MSYS and that utility requiring MSYS hacking.

If you think that you have a POSIX program that could benefit from being linked against MSYS, you're almost certainly better off just using Cygwin to port it. And now you can redistribute the Cygwin DLL with that program without tainting the program with the GPL.

Not necessarily. If the data is in the database's cache it can be pretty fast. I just tried `explain analyze select email from users where id = 10` on my local postgres, and while the first query took 20ms, the second one only took 0.065ms.

At one point when I was building a SAAS sms app, I emailed 579 SMS providers to find quotes on better pricing.

One thing that I find incredibly surprising is that they often white-label and sell on top of other providers like infobip/nexmo. They don't have tier 1 connections and as well they don't scale very well internationally.
Out of curiosity, any idea how selective it is to be accepted into the OMSCS at Georgia Tech?

When I am writing jscodeshift scripts, it's a constant cycle of git checkout -> run codemod -> git checkout.

Nobody is saying you need to commit the changes: review them by hand if you will. I've never had a problem with jscodeshift itself. Publicly available transform scripts though are quite hit or miss.
The fact that they spent so much money in hardware to test the battery usage and the amount of effort they put in to improve doesn't seem to imply that this was just a PR stunt.

I got a change into Unicode 9.0 too!

It was just a tweak to emoji characters to mark them all as East Asian Full Width instead of Narrow or Ambiguous so that they displayed correctly when using a fixed width font in a terminal console. This probably only matters if you like to use emoji filenames (you mad person), but it felt like a wart so I reported it & had a short back and forth with the chair of the emoji-related subcommittee which resulted in a proposal which was eventually accepted by the committee into Unicode 9.0. The committee were great: took my tiny bug report seriously, wrote huge long treatises to justify the change & eventually voted it into the standard.

(This was pretty much my peak geek achievement of 2016 so far :) )
Brilliant idea for a post :-)

I've listened to spoken word stuff (podcasts, audiobooks) for a few years now and found it cured my insomnia 100%. I realized I'm a verbal thinker who struggles to think properly when other people are speaking and listening to speech sends me to sleep fast.

Which is a good reason to back things like telomere lengthening interdiction. That would work on all cancers, and cancers can't evolve around that dramatic a hurdle, so far as we know. It is a very fundamental set of machinery, and all cancers have to lengthen telomeres in order to stay ahead of the limits to replication.

Some groups are working on blocking the action of telomerase, but to make a viable treatment ALT (alternative lengthening of telomeres) will have to be blocked too, since researchers have already seen telomerase-abusing cancers turn into ALT-abusing cancers.
If whatsapp gets into this business, I have to applaud their pokerface.

Matt Yglesias wrote that amazon is a "charitable institution being run by elements of the investment community for the benefit of consumers."

I feel that applies more to Whatsapp than amazon. When you install Whatsapp, you are still presented (with a package in the UI that links to a blog post from 2012(!) about how companies "know literally everything about you, your friends, your interests, and they use it all to sell ads."

Equity isn't where all the control comes from. Because they raised 9mil it's almost a sure thing they'll have to raise another round or go bust, so there's huge incentive to do what investors want.
It may be possible, but it would be very hard. Every culture has its own way of interacting and some cultures can have one action that's polite - but in another culture that's completely offensive.

My guess is it wouldn't work for diplomats, but potentially in a large country like the U.S., India, China, it may work for the standard individual or politician.

CAR-T is a step in the right direction for the cancer research establishment, not because it solves the problem noted by the parent comment, but because it offers the prospect of greatly reducing the cost of targeting many different types of cancer.

It is very much the luck of the draw going cancer by cancer as to whether you can pick a target that is more or less likely to be evolved around by the cancer. Leukemias were a lucky hit, but that may or may not hold up for other targets and other cancers as they are put forward.
Having lost a sister and a son to cancer I hope for this to work. The issues are tremendous for this technique and I don't have high hopes for its use on cancer. I am still having high hopes on immune system techniques that helps the body to mark cancer cells and attack the cells for most cancers.

CRISPR big hope is that it can change the cell to stop reproducing or stop invading other cells. Simply put cancer cells are cells that grow that don't stop AND can spread to other cells. If you get one of the two you win.

I couldn't disagree with that more - I am so glad they kept bunnyhopping out of overwatch and instead focused on adding depth and skill to the actual game itself.

There's enough high skill floor things to master in Overwatch that there doesn't need to be a gimmicky movement system to separate the good from the bad. The games intended and obvious mechanics leave plenty to be mastered.

My first editor was ed, then I switched to joe and pico, tried briefly vi and elvis but they didn't stick, and
instead to learn how to do the same in five small editors I learned emacs. I think that this was a dificult, but very smart move in retrospective. Learned enought nano to be able to float, after or maybe at same time than emacs, so their main appeal to me always was that it was like a micro-emacs available for emergencies, but much easier to remember than ed. I like and keep using the editor, but to learn "big tricks" in nano was unnecessary from that point, because the time invested in emacs eventually started paying benefits.

>Good example: Trumps feelings on undocumented immigrants being rapists and murderers.

Terrible example for whatever point you wanted to make. Here is the original quote:

>When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

So, what kind of mental gymnastics do you have to perform to conclude that he meant "undocumented immigrants are rapists and murderers"?

Especially with the usual half-hearted QA efforts most vendors, including Apple, make on Bluetooth quality. The last time I had to reboot a system to get a headphone jack working was an old 286, whereas I still have to turn bluetooth off/on, kill blued, restart a speaker, etc. at least once a week to get sound to work again, not to mention an open bug report with Apple about the way iTunes opens on my laptop every time my iPhone grabs the speaker to play a sound. Every time I rent a car, it's obvious how little QA has gone into the Bluetooth stack from pairing on.

I have no reason to believe that the headphone industry will invest more in QA than the manufacturers of items costing thousands of dollars.
I am not a native speaker and terrible at googling this, but I've once heard that 電腦 was originally the Taiwanese way of saying it and 計算機 the Chinese way, in the same way that 'program' is still called 程式 on one side of the strait and 程序 on the other, or 'internet' is either 網絡 or 網路. The names of movies and video games are also generally different (PRC, HK, TW).

計算機 is a calculator, not a computer, in Taiwan: https://tw.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=計算機

I know what you mean, but as someone who works on rendering tech (for CG not for games, but games are more and more using the same tech), I would like to clarify something. You do want realism in your graphics. You want realism in the way light is calculated, you want realism in the way materials interact, in short you want fully physically modelled materials. Watch Disney animated movies (or really any high-budget animated movie), notice that no matter how stylised it gets, the lighting is always as realistic as possible, or if the visuals are really trippy, still grounded in the usual physics, it's just the materials and geometry that get twisted in fun ways. Humans have a really good feel for lighting, so you want that to be top-notch. Now that we've practically achieved real-time physically-based lighting calculations, I'm seeing lots of games opt for a less realistic style of materials. I think the oppressive drive towards realism was a necessary step to build the tech that will allow for real artistry. You can cheat and take shortcuts as much as you want, but there is no substitute for having a real solid base for lighting and I'm pretty excited to see what will come out in the coming years.

I'm impressed by the turn-around time on the fixes. I've worked places where bug reports from QA (sitting right next to the developers) were not even LOOKED at for a week, let alone resolved in a week. Kudos to Uber's team's ability to act quickly, even on externally-reported issues.

It depends, especially on the sector. Experimental Biotech companies will do many secondary offerings throughout their existence.

In this case the underwriter who controlled this IPO likely has what is known as a "green shoe". The green shoe is an agreement to sell more shares (up to 15%) after the IPO and they acquire them from the company at the IPO price. This means the bank could sell 15% more stock that wasn't part of the original IPO at current market prices and only have to pay the company the original IPO price. The company raises more money and the underwriter makes more profit. This happens when there is a successful IPO where the market prices the stock higher than the IPO price.

In the battery-benchmarks that I've seen so far, Firefox was always the leading browser, so granted those benchmarks did not test Opera's battery saving mode, Firefox should still be at least in second place.

And Firefox does also have a native ad-blocker, so if you enable that, too, I could imagine that it maybe even still outperforms Opera's battery saving mode, but yeah, a proper benchmark would be good...

> it truly is as productive as Rails/Django but much more performant

I'd be a little bit skeptical of both things: Rails has a huge, mature ecosystem, and Erlang is often faster than Ruby, but is not a "fast" language.

http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lan...

Where Erlang really shines is that it's running in a single Unix process, yet can handle multiple things going on at once thanks to its scheduler (and not have ugly code, because it's the scheduler doing the work, not the programmer writing spaghetti). This means that generally, it's going to handle more connections better and degrade more gracefully. This is a huge win for web sockets where you have a connection sitting open and not tying up a huge Rails process. Although even there, I guess the Rails guys are working on some new stuff that should help alleviate that problem.

Erlang is cool stuff, and well worth a look. I certainly enjoy working with it. But be wary of throwing out Rails because "new! shiny!"
