The site owner profits from showing ads. There's little business reason for them to show ad-less pages to users. What does good faith have to do with it? They're not assuming you'll hack them or steal their content, it's a matter of business.
Forewarning: If you go all the way through this absurd "quest" and answer a few questions correctly, you're presented with two options: a) enter to win a Nintendo Mini and a t-shirt, or b) "have a qualified phone call with our sales team about Smartfile and we will send you a shirt".

The Verge:  Chromebook Ranking
The HP IPAQ didn't have a keyboard on standard models. Touchscreen only for text entry, with a little stylus to tap it out with. Around 5-10 hardware buttons around the case for things like back, volume controls, power etc. POCKET PC had excel, word, played and recorded audio files but was difficult to use and sluggish on the lower end models.

The top wiki picture with keyboard is one of the later models aimed at the Blackberry corporate users.

Iphone wasn't that innovative, just did things simply and really did "just work", which was a big deal at the time.

I second that. I remember having tutorials with professors that were highly decorated. FRS and a whole list of acronyms after their names.

I always found it a struggle to ask them questions that helped my understanding, because they were talking the expert language and I was talking layman. Before you know how a transistor works, how do you know to use words like "gate" in the way that explains how it works?

By contrast, the guy who was best at teaching was a phd student. He seemed to know exactly where I would struggle, and he had a very simple manner of explaining the next step.

Dockerfiles describe how to build an image. You can build the image on any docker host and it will be identical. The differences occur only when you run the image and it becomes a container. The way networking and file systems behave can vary depending on the host and run command options.
The difference between truth and fiction is that fiction has to make sense.

I really don't know how the Toshiba Chromebook 2 2015 didn't make the cut. For $300 you get an Intel chipset, 1080p screen, and 4 gigs of RAM. Not to mention the SSD is swappable.

Seems kind of silly the "winner" Chromebook only has a 720p screen (which I find horrible for actual productivity, but I guess it depends on your use-case). The runner-up probably deserves the #1 spot more if your ask me.
Sometimes, the thing you need to model in a database behind an application you sell to a customer turns out to be... a sort of limited database with a schema the customer can control and design. When that happens, EAV is one of the common attractors in design space that everyone gravitates towards.

Of course, it's worth remembering that real databases do not typically use an EAV storage pattern for their data, so maybe it's not the only way to model a custom data store within a relational system.
>> _And_ that short employment stint is a black-mark on Jake's resume. What an industry we have.

But now he can just point people to that WTF piece and say "that's what that was". Anyone who still considers it a black mark after that isn't worth working for.

I have a 5-month stint at a huge company on my resume - one that a lot of people would really like to work for. It comes up sometimes in interviews, but I've got a good story behind it and usually come off as capable and ambitious after explaining it.

I considered Leap Motion but didn't know if it would have worked behind my mirror and in vertical way (Maybe if you have one you call tell me). Also I always like to learn new stuff, OpenCV seemed like something I could use again in the future.

I tried running everything on Node but the OpenCV wrapper is not there yet. Completely right on Python though but while learning it I wasn't interested to go on with it for the front end.

Thanks !
NATs are pain. True.

And also I agree that there were a lot of problems to work around and benefits are not that obvious if application size is 3 Mb. However it becomes closer to real life with every additional megabyte of application size. E.g. for video content it definitely worth and it also could work for web games and VR experiences. Other cases? Sure there are some. Let`s consider this as first Viral JavaScript implementation.
Gavin McInnes and His ‘Proud Boys’ Want to Make Men Great Again
Anyone familiar with caching algorithms will groan when they read the description of the "sampling" LRU. First, LRU isn't that great--it is a _lot_ better than nothing and having a suitably large cache tends to cover up cache eviction problems, but LRU is still susceptible to a number of problems. The pseudo-LRU redis used to have is appropriate for very high-speed caches (it's essentially a 5-way associative cache), but is so very not appropriate when going out to disk, where the access latency is horrible.

ARC as mentioned below incorporates the LFU statistics, but it is patent encumbered. A number of other NoSQL systems implement either 2Queues ("Segmented LRU") or LIRS. My team recently implemented both of these for a block-caching system and found LIRS to perform better for our purposes; essentially LIRS has a bit more information that it collects so it can evict low future-probability data faster and thus retain more data that is likely to be accessed again in the future. It only takes a few more hits to be worth it. The downside to LIRS is that it's more complicated than 2Queues, and far less well-described in the literature.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_algorithms

The thing that's really necessary, though, is to collect metrics and to have an instrumented version that will log all accesses. Given a log of all accesses, you can compare whatever implementation you use to Bélády's algorithm (i.e., perfection). Without instrumentation and testing, it is very very difficult to know what the right strategy is.

Anyway, this helps confirm redis in my mind as a great amateur NoSQL system.

Professionally: email lists. If you have any reason to have a blog, you should have an email list. It surfaces the identities of the people who are actually interested in what you have to say, and ties people to you much, much tighter than "Oh yeah, that thing you wrote in 2011 that I read, that was a cool thing."

Businesswise: man, so many things could go here. How about "Put our sales process in a flowchart and execute from the flowchart, not from I'm-smart-and-can-extemporize-in-real-time. Adjust flowchart as required." Relatedly: answer common objections once, offline. Cache the answers. Repeat back from the cache, not from "best halfway decent thing you can remember to say in real time."

About a year ago I started moving towards not selling my time. It has taken a while to wind down all of those relationships, etc. but it has been the best and most lucrative decision I've made in my professional life. I now have just a single commitment where I sell my time and I've got it down to 2-3 hours per week. It will soon be zero as well.

I definitely wish I would have started this sooner or actually never started selling my time at all. I worked only for myself for the first 5 years out of school then the last 5 mostly for others (as a contractor - never an employee).

Talk to the branch manager. If that fails, threaten to talk to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau[1] (which is a branch of the federal government). That will almost always cause the bank to become much more helpful. If they don't, well, actually talk to the CFPB. They have a fair amount of clout.

Really, though, what bank wouldn't start an investigation about an ATM that ate a deposit? Perhaps consider a new bank once you've resolved this issue.

There's nothing dishonest about it. It's a loss because these are explicit investments which haven't produced any earnings. When they produce any sort of revenue then their financial statements (and media reports of the financial statements) will say "Other bets showed an operating profit of $Xm". It's just a media report on a fact.

I'm not sure the "hard way" is the only way that works.

If you look at a new field, you can often do some meta-learning that will help you.

For instance, you can browse the introductory texts for common words. Words that are uncommon in normal English (ie not "the" or unspecific verbs like "do" or "have") will appear frequently. You'll quickly discover the subtopics this way. For instance, you will find the word "inflation" in an econ text and conclude it's something to be learned about.

The organization of the text is also a clue. You can scan headings and suppose that whatever terms are there are considered important.

Once you've done a scan you have some priors that hopefully will put your mind's model nearer to what the experts have, and you can start refining by actually reading.

Basically, apply some ML-like ideas to what you're looking at (clustering, correlations, and so on).
Oh great an appeal to authority that'll set it right. /s

If what you say is correct then there's most likely a paper that's been widely cited and remains unfalsified that shows there aren't any changes in the ratios of gases in these crystal interstices (or the changes are well known and quantifiable). Such a citation would be a suitable rebuff.

This report provides relevant background on US navy ship naming: https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/weapons/RS22478.pdf

For ship types now being procured for the Navy, or recently procured for the Navy, naming rules
can be summarized as follows:
 Aircraft carriers are generally named for past U.S. Presidents. Of the last 14, 10
were named for past U.S. Presidents, and 2 for Members of Congress.
 Virginia (SSN-774) class attack submarines are being named for states.
 Destroyers are named for deceased members of the Navy, Marine Corps, and
Coast Guard, including Secretaries of the Navy.
 Littoral Combat Ships (LCSs) are being named for regionally important U.S.
cities and communities.
 Amphibious assault ships are being named for important battles in which U.S.
Marines played a prominent part, and for famous earlier U.S. Navy ships that
were not named for battles.
 San Antonio (LPD-17) class amphibious ships are being named for major U.S.
cities and communities, and cities and communities attacked on September 11,
2001.
 John Lewis (TAO-205) class oilers, previously known as TAO(X)s, are being
named for people who fought for civil rights and human rights.
 Lewis and Clark (TAKE-1) class cargo and ammunition ships were named
for famous American explorers, trailblazers, and pioneers.
 Expeditionary Fast Transports (EPFs), previously called Joint High Speed
Vessels (JHSVs), are being named for small U.S. cities.
 Expeditionary Transport Docks (ESDs) and Expeditionary Sea Bases
(ESBs), which were previously called Mobile Landing Platform (MLP) ships and
Afloat Forward Staging Bases (AFSBs), respectively, are being named for
famous names or places of historical significance to U.S. Marines.

So basically there has been reserved a class of ships (oilers) that are all going to be named after Civil Rights activists.

IMHO that would be due more to Microsoft completely screwing their relationship with a ton of users than Apple doing anything particular. Not that it invalidates anything you've said, a win is a win.

Anyway just because a company has won hard and won hard for awhile that doesn't particularly shield them from losing later on, however I'd say my point stands, from roughly 1992 to 2014 Microsoft dominated the PC market.
They tend overwhelmingly toward technical manuals and sci-fi. Great if you like those things, I guess.
But everybody keeps saying that network effects are important, that Uber is going to win because of mind share and network effects.

So either availability and cost is more important than mind share and network effects -> Lyft wins because they didn't spend millions opening the market but are big enough to be basically equivalent to Uber on cost and availability.

Or network effects and mind share is more important -> Lyft wins because they're the 'good guys' who didn't participate in the Pyrrhic battles in both local and global media.

I suspect that you're right, availability and cost is more important. However colmvp's comment indicates that availability and cost is basically equivalent in major markets, making the political battle the major differentiating point.

For me taxis have a huge availability advantage due to taxi stands at work and at the airport, so I'll continue to use them there and Lyft elsewhere.

Would be interesting to hear a discussion about how this impacts the timeline of the Great Oxygenation Event [1], and where there's conflict with what's proposed. If there's somebody a little more familiar with the geological evidence it would be great to know a little more.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. `go get` or any package manager needs to be able to fetch the code remotely. Without interacting with the external binaries would mean the Go tool would need to have custom code to retrieve the codebase and interact with the VCS metadata such as tags. Are you suggesting custom Go code for that instead of using dependencies like git?
Using screen in daemon mode.

screen -dmS myservice /blah/start.sh

Fit that line somewhere in a properly constructed init.d file and you're good to go. And if you need to execute a safe stop from that program through some interactivity:

screen -S myservice -X stuff "stop\n"

And voila. It sends a line of text over followed by an enter key. Elegant, useful. You can reattach session to see what's happening at any time. Love me some screen.

When the process exits in that screen session, screen session is closed so that you can rely on screen -list.

This is an idea I've had for websites such as Wikipedia where consumer funding is the main source keeping it alive.

This could be great for a small niche of applications, but even for those, these points are still important.

Particularly on the consumer end, turning my device into a provider as well as a consumer of data is typically not my intention. It's forced seeding on all clients in a torrent sense, which not everyone wants to be a part of. Or for that matter, can be. In a world of data caps, turning my phone, tablet, or hotspot connected devices into a CDN has moral and fiscal implications that have to be considered.

Declining to reveal my previous salary when negotiating a new job.

I ended up with a significantly better salary than they originally offered and never even said a number. Just built a good rapport with the hiring HR rep and agreed that the offered amount would be totally reasonable for [someone else with good experience]. Then I pointed out that I also bring to the role [additional, relevant, and desired experience] and gently asked what they could do to make the number better?. (Then I kept my mouth shut and let them think out loud for a few minutes)
The last one, in my experience, is basically a deal breaker. Simple commands (eg rake routes, npm install, etc) take 100x longer.

I'm don't have a firm opinion on what is or isn't 'production ready', but if there are major bugs, then there should be some way of disseminating that information instead of everyone rediscovering the same issues.
This is a useless assessment for many many reasons, but it's not even an accurate representation for several reasons. For example, two similar cities, one with hole in the wall hoarder "bookstores" and the other with with large and inviting banes and nobles book stores will be equal on the list.

There are many more reasons why this evaluation is erroneous but I'll leave it at that.
