I could give you the name of the town I grew up in but it's not going to mean anything to a non-native resident. If you've got a better turn of phrase for a low population town not particularly near anything, nor containing anything noteworthy I'd love to hear it.
It seems very unlikely that you would be able to sense those frequencies, except indirectly through something like audible speaker interference.

However, this would be pretty easy to test! Just have a friend call you at random times throughout a 2-hour interval or something, and record every time you think the phone is about to ring, and every time it actually does. If there's a close enough correlation between the two, that's fairly persuasive evidence.
That's the other option; sending both session cookies at the same time and having the server do the work. Google's solution pushes that "if (short_session != valid)" logic to the client vs having it run on the server.
I'm curious what others think about the vision for a more-connected world. While I think the positives far outweigh the negatives in abstract, I wonder if the relatively segregated and disconnected civilizations we've built until now are equipped to deal with the complexities of a more-connected world. Cultural differences, religious differences, ethical differences, etc. are all potential points of friction when you begin connecting groups that had previously been separated by geography but can now interface with one-another. I think Mark's vision for a more-connected world is inevitable -- arguably, it's something that's been happening for all time, albeit perhaps not at the pace we see today, as digital connectivity provides the ability to connect distant groups far easier than physical connectivity ever allowed. I just hope the outcome is a net positive for humanity.

Not wanting to blow my own trumpet but I like to think my business website (see my profile) is pretty good. At least I got some positive feedback on it and it helped me secure a few deals already.

Testimonials are a great way of building trust in you and your ability to deliver. Talk about the benefit you bring to the table. Don't (just) list TLAs. Regularly writing about your area of expertise and publishing source code is great, too.

If you're an expert in something very visual like D3.js, a showcase is an interesting approach as well. Just don't turn your complete website into a showcase.

As a counterpoint, we'd also have the need for fewer roads and parking lots, and hence cities could become even denser.
Fair enough, although I think that discussing and further thinking about that analogy might be able to create new insights. I find it unfortunate that in addition to highly interesting information you've shared, you have also chosen to make destructive criticism about my attempt to find touch points between software and drug development.
See, software development, the way I see it, is based on sharing, via open source, but not only. The culture it induces is of being open, to new ideas and to constructive criticism.

> Drug molecules aren't meaningfully decomposed into individual units

It's not about the molecules - it's about the tests.
Envision a state where you could say - "oh dear, 6 volunteers for first-in-man Phase 1 tests had to be hospitalized - let's find a lab test, or a change in the model which would predict a positive result for the structure we've tested and negative result for other structures which do not cause that condition". The individual units don't have to be the molecules, they can also be the tests. You would argue, and rightly so, that finding such a test is hard/impossible. And I would agree but the whole article is about defining the problem - and because in software development, when making a small bug fix - you are not after making the entire system work, rather a tiny fraction of it better apt for a new condition you did not take care of earlier.

> the answer is "maybe"

When uncertainty is high - wouldn't you want to strengthen the tools that allow you to know at least that the failures you've already encountered won't happen again?

I find it also unfortunate that you think my article is dismissive of efforts made by countless people before me. I had and have no such intention.
You don't notice it day to day, but it beats you down over the long run.
CloudFlare is only providing DNS, no traffic goes though it in this instance.

It is trivial however to setup CloadFlare to have encrypted traffic to your Heroku app for free when using their cdn/webapp firewall service as your app is on https://appname.herokuapp.com which CloudFlare proxy.
In the footnote of the post they wrote they considered naming it "SO Examples", but didn't. For me at least, using "SO Docs" to name the site is actually much more confusing. As a result, for the whole post I thought it is a dynamic manual, with per-function docs and examples. Only after browsing to the actual site I slowly realized it's not a manual: it's rather a "book" of examples. A list of HOWTOs, speaking in a language of yesteryear. As far as I see, it's impossible to build a MSDN in it. I couldn't add full documentation for one of Go packages here — borders cross vague, overlapping concepts, not clearly cut packages. To make it clear: I don't want to deny that it can be useful — suppose as examples for learning; but when looking for docs, I like being able to browse them systematically.

So, two possibilities: either something revolutionary I didn't fully grasp yet — or Examples, not Documentation.

For now, I much prefer the model of Go docs, MSDN, or PHP manual with user comments — if talking about docs.
This seems like a good summary.

It's worth remembering that a lot of Uber drivers are making relatively little money. Some are students, some are part-timers, but no matter what Uber ROI drops off more aggressively than most jobs (you work surge times, then constant-demand times, then your rates collapse).

I definitely have the sense that Uber's current model isn't sustainable - the money looks good because they constantly bring on new drivers who underestimate tax and depreciation, and count their salary in weekly-paycheck terms. I suspect that either they'll become more generous once they're spending less on regulation/campaigning, or something else will fall apart.

"if the electric infrastructure is not good and widely available, then give everyone a generator"

I like this analogy!

My comment wasn't about how I think things should be, just an observation about how they currently are. Currently in parts of the US (and I'm sure other parts of the globe too), the public transport infrastructure isn't there.

That being said, I long for the day when cities or companies maintain fleets of self-driving cars/buses I can summon as needed.
> I know you added a footnote to this but how is it laughable?

That's a good question and you are right. I also happen to believe in the Law of Consecration (aka The United Order of Enoch). However, the fact that Mr. Hall would suggest it is the laughable part.

It is exactly for the reason you stated "I know that what this guy is doing doesn't fit into the Mormon structure/hierarchy". Exactly. People can decide whatever they would like about my faith and my deeply held beliefs, as well as those of my religion. But my faith and beliefs go far deeper than "Someday we will live the Law of Consecration". My personal faith says that the structure and hierarchy of our religion is built and managed by God himself and that he will direct the work involved with the Law of Consecration in his own time and own ways and that I will know when that time is right because of my faith and closeness to Him. A random church member cannot bring about the Law of Consecration.

> Really? I was always taught that in the last days all of the saints will be called to gather in Zion (Missouri).

This is an interesting one. I wouldn't say I was "taught" this as much as I was told this from time to time by people who were, again, rather laughable. This is such a common LDS church myth that the church itself put out an explanation with some great references [1]. There are plenty of crazy people in the world, Mormon and non-Mormon. I have a neighbor who believes a 2 year supply (another suggestion the church gives) actually means a 2 year supply of ammunition for his firearms because he believes this will be "the only currency after the great destruction". I personally keep a two year supply more in line with what is suggested by Dave Ramsey. To each their own, I guess.

Now, just to curb some of the comments that I might receive from this. These are my beliefs and this is my faith which I have gained over a large swath of my life. I did not gain it randomly and I understand others might not believe what I do and may think I am crazy/delusional/"a sheeple" or whatnot. I understand you might not agree. I am fine with that, my faith doesn't require you to.

> A lot of math is simple and logical

And I suppose you are implying a lot of math is illogical. :-)

> Heck, coding CRUD apps

Yeah, I hear the "bad notation" argument frequently from programmers, precisely for the reasons you describe: because you can't read a mathematical textbook with a programmer's IDE.

Some mathematical texts will do you the favour of having a list of some notation that they consider to be idiosyncratic to their own text, but few would go as far as to letting you look up the definition of plus and minus. In general, though, mathematics isn't programming, despite some similarities and analogies between the two. The symbol for the partial derivative is used nearly universally to mean partial derivatives of some kind, so there's a lot of tradition that writers of mathematical texts expect you to know.

Programming has similar traditions that are baffling to outsiders but as invisible to the programmers as water is to fish. For example, in programming it is understood that everyone is capable of easily handling plain text files. Have you ever seen a newcomer try to write source code in Microsoft Word? I have.

Wikipedia and other online mathematical texts can help a little by hyperlinking the text to explain new notation or terminology, and sometimes texts are just plain bad in that they use idiosyncratic notation without explanation. In the last case, it takes effort to work out from context the likely meaning of a symbol.

In general, though, I stand by my thesis that notation is not the biggest obstacle to mathematics just like learning to use a text editor or IDE is not the biggest obstacle to programming. The fundamental ideas behind the practices of each are much deeper than the superficial aspects of text and notation.
Current immigration policy is racist, yes. It's dehumanizing to the people here illegally, and it's not fair by any means. My point is that legality is a fig leaf. When your definition for "legally" is "My ancestors got on a boat, and were white," it holds no weight.

"Hurr, durr, build a wall to keep them out", and "Keep America Christian" does nothing to resolve it. If you actually give a shit about either, then backing Trump (Or the other big names from the 2016 Republican line) is backing the wrong horse.

Even more ironically, two of the other candidates (Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio) are the descendants of Cuban refugees... And any Cuban entering the US can immediately apply for permanent residency. No questions asked.

Strangely, they oppose the same privilege to people fleeing repression/drug cartels/terrible poverty in the rest of Central America.
Why did Apple help police shutdown KAT, but not a terrorist?
Apparently Apple gave up information that helped to the capture of Artem Vaulin, the guy behind KAT. However apple put up big stink about helping decrypt a phone. Given KAT hurts iTunes it gave apple a much larger incentive to help the cops, but it seems quite hypocritical of Apple.

There's a lot of flak over poor comparison to photos and self-promotion. However, his overall point is still true: just putting a little effort in upfront with assumption you will succeed can prevent these problems. My baseline for evaluating this is "Did they do at least as well as someone who spent 30 seconds on Google?" Short version: doing better wouldn't have required a ton of thinking.

Here's what 30 seconds Googling "highly-scalable chat architecture" gave me:

Previous times doing this for web services led me to highscalability.com with many architectures to imitate with fairly mature software components available. At this point, the common ones should practically have templates for "enter metrics expected here" then click to deploy.
Blockstream Commits to Patent Nonaggression
Signing something is great but it comes with some possibly unintended consequences.

If you want a stateless cookie, you won't be able to revoke it down the road. Which means if the cookie is long lived, someone who gets their hands on the signed cookie can impersonate a user for a long time.

If you cryptographically sign a cookie and it isn't stateless, you haven't really improved anything because you still have to look into up.

Cryptographically signing a cookie is great, especially for distributed applications, but it does have some properties that might not be desirable.

I've noticed a phenomenon for political words to lose meaning over time, and become fully general insults. The right uses "socialist" excessively for example. The left uses words like "racist" in a similar way. Most people called socialist would say they don't support socialism or socialist policies. Most people called racist would say they don't think their race is superior or that we should discriminate based on race.
> If you want to get experience volunteering to write documentation for software, then find the existing official documentation and add to that (or start it, preferably in a repository close to the actual code).

Except, who does that? Let's face it, most of us would rather be coding than writing docs. Consequently, a large number of high-profile projects (I won't name names) have surprisingly crap documentation. If SO can find a way break that spell, more power to them.

I agree the OS is the lowest denominator. But given that mobile is predominantly the most common way people do a LOT of things these days, of which Android is also an OS, I think it's noteworthy that Google still manages to escape the level of criticism Microsoft often still gets.

My hope is that France can get Microsoft to just enable Telemetry 0 for all licenses, and that maybe they let us here in the US do it too.

A friend of mine once said he asked an interviewer, "so just how screwed up is this company"?

What the hell are you talking about? The weights are clearly labeled and you know what's up before you even attempt it. With data, not only are there multiple abstractions away from the consumer which all play in using and controlling the data used, the phone companies purposely don't provide a data cap lock in some cases. And then you get singled out and have to grovel for forgiveness. Having software metering at device level and and phone company level should be mandatory.

It's pretty much like not giving you the car speedomoter, and then the city places speed trap cameras all over the city and then after a month, you get a bill for $200 because you went over 4 times.

Except it isn't just newbies. Devs with experience look for that holy grail of architecture. They sell it to management by saying the system will be able to change with any new requested feature with minimal effort.

These devs are loud. And management loves loud. Loud is confidence.
