> First and foremost, always, always, always, split test EVERYTHING.

That's a lot of work and as a developer I couldn't care less, since it's just a side project. Just ask people about your core message and if it doesn't resonate, change things.

This is the hardest thing to get right. Too much instruction will be counter productive, too little will be unpredictable. Black magic.

It doesn't sound like you are accounting for the re-invested dividends which will put a 10 year investment well above that 50% return you mentioned. This quick site that I found says the DJIA is up 110% over the last 10 years if you reinvest dividends.

Didn't really give up until they had the fabulous idea to replace direct streaming with playing poor match Youtube videos as radio. That killed radio finally and made a none functioning joke of the main reason I bought my network music player.

Was mad about that as Last radio was my first choice for work listening.

The site was dated as they were frozen in 2008 - After CBS bought them there was one update very soon after then the site didn't change at all until last year. Minor updates and bug fixes only.

As for the update last year, pretty and vacant, doesn't bring back the things I loved about the site, but lets me see lots of pretty graphs of things I'm not interested in. I took a look at libre fm after that, but that's even more abandoned.

I say it as nicely as I can -- OP wants diversity, affordability, investment opportunity, job opportunity, and family-friendly-but-not-devoid-of-activity; he needs to pick three of the five.

But I noticed, Chicago, New York, and Toronto are conspicuously absent. These cities, which admittedly don't command a larger-than-average share of devs, and don't enjoy year-long 70-80 F weather, hit most of the points that he's looking for, especially in their extensive suburbs/exurbs.

They have diversity, cultural institutions, jobs (including tech), and their metro areas have locations that are affordable and/or home to rising property values. Do only boomtowns appeal?

I'm not talking about the values, just the key names themselves... databases should be smart enough to realize that "username" and "id" and "timestamp" are keys repeated in most/every record and normalize them away so there isnt as big of a storage cost.
As someone who has very strong feelings about sites not letting me choose secure passwords, or storing them insecurely...no.

Fines for storing passwords insecurely and getting breached, sure. This is already handled by PCI/HIPAA, but could definitely stand to be improved. Prison time? There's no possible way that would end well.

Fines for "anyone whose password can be brute forced from one of these leaks"? So that means 80% of people out there would be given "substantial fines". Not going to happen.

OK, I think that covers all the possibilities.
You will never think of all the attributes anymore. For example 8 months later you want to score your contacts based on derived or imputed values. Who knows what you will want to slap in there when you scale up to 5 billion rows and start including click data from your website for example... there are basics from relational concepts that are obvious, which is why you are using postgres in the first place but table structure is not one of them.

I suppose. But I'm not really the target audience: I'm more comfortable in Scheme than Haskell, and I'm willing to forgive JS most of its warts (especially since it's got proper HOF (better than Python and Ruby, anyways), and is getting TCO. It even has a macro system, courtesy of sweet.js (even if it is only a limited pattern-matching one, as opposed to the imperative systems of Lisp and most Schemes)).
> Mods frequently remove posts that are inflamatory, political, "unsubstantive",

That's completely untrue. We reply to such comments asking people not to post those things. We sometimes detach such comments from their parents and mark them off-topic (which lowers them on the page). But removing them is precisely what we don't do.

Where these notions come from is beyond me. You might think that if you scrupulously followed a policy of not doing X, people wouldn't blithely claim that X is your policy. Nope, not so.
Fuck this I'm done with brushes.
SLE (and RHEL) do too, and I think that openSUSE Leap does as well (but I don't think that it's visible from the main download page).
Yep, that's the state of the art. It means that more human work has to be done on making it easier to write programs that work.
Having not followed the development of PC-BSD for the last 5-6 years, can somebody please explain to my why they felt the need to fork FreeBSD? FreeBSD by itself already has a really tiny market share, and to a certain extent many things are much more easily deployed with better package management on a mainstream Linux platform (Debian stable or CentOS 7).

OpenBSD has its own unique niche, but I don't see what great need PCBSD fills that FreeBSD wasn't already doing.
Like most security vulnerabilities these days, this attack works only on Linux.
Thanks for you comments.

I agree with you on unsubscribing from the emails, but it works. 86% of the users open, 54% click, 23% replied to the email and only 2% unsubscribed.

At my job with HKSEO/Humankind, this is what I spent my days doing, but I would do 4-5 prototypes at a time, pitch them to the owner, build the 1-2, launch and repeat constantly. Once the product was making a decent amount of money, we would spend more time doing the split testing and on-boarding (which was also split tested).

So I know a single developer can do this on 20% time if they aren't expecting a 1 week turnaround.
Pretty sure he meant removal from your body.

> consumers wanted more features

Maybe so, but I never personally asked the TV manufacturers for a smart TV.

Who I think came up with the idea: TV manufacturers.

Selling hardware that has software/firmware, that will become obsolete in 4-8 years, will result in more TVs sold in 4-8 years than would have been.

We just got rid of a TV that we've had since the late 1990s- about 18 years. It was not smart. We just bought a smart TV and I'm betting we won't get more than 8 years out of it.

From my experience, no.

We used to use hard steel srapers and steelos. At one of the restaurants I worked at, we actually had a tank of caustic that we'd soak the grills in overnight twice a week, cleaned them up to like new.

Of course, the caustic tank had it's own host of health and safety issues, but that was a staff concern, not a customer concern. That shit was nasty.
I think it is more a matter of manufacturers wanting to sell TV's sooner than a 5-10 year life cycle. To do that, you have to come up with new features to try to entice.
I'm done with doctors. Stress? Give me a break.
I'm going to disagree with you on the pace of change. That's what Smil and Weissenbacher both cover in detail.

1800 - 1849 saw:

* Watt's patent expire, allowing larger, smaller, higher-pressure, and mobile steam engines.

* Steam applied to transport on rail and ships.

* Rail still suffered from metalurgical limits. Wrought or cast-iron rails tend to split and shatter. Bessemmer steel came in the 1860s. Build-out of US railroads really only happened in the 2nd half of the 19th century, though England had a pretty extensive system.

* Telegraph and kerosene lamps. Note that with the telegraph, news did move at the speed of light, for the first time.

* The first steamships. Atlantic crossings under steam were only starting to be standard by 1850.

* Early photography.

But from 1850 to 1899, you had: Bessemer steel, petroleum, the telephone, phonograph, bicycle (cheap transport for people that didn't need oats), automobile, elevator, electric lights, kinescope, automobile, steam turbine, radio-telegraph, coal-tar chemistry, first plastics, electric generators, electric motors, indoor plumbing, sewage systems (in large cities), antisceptics, anesthetics.

It was a combination of refinement of elments of the coal age -- better chemistry of coal, and with coal (coal-tar, plastics, steelmaking), better energy systems (ever more efficient steam engines, turbines), plus capabilities brought about through petroleum.

There's really no doubt that the 2nd half of the 19th century saw accelerating change, a pace that continued through the first quarter or half of the 20th century, then slowed. Computers and information are the notable exception.

Smill, Weissenbacher, Robert Gordon, and a whole bunch of others cover the period. It's fascinating.

The rowhammer "attack" is successful only because the hardware is just plain broken, and I consider it in the same category as things like a CPU which will calculate 1+1=3 if the computation of 1+1 is done enough times --- nothing software should even try to fix, because the problem is at a lower level. The solution is to demand that the hardware manufacturers make memory which actually works like memory should; and it should be possible, since apparently previous generations of RAM don't have this problem at all. In the early 90s Intel recalled and replaced, free of charge, CPUs which didn't divide correctly. Perhaps the memory manufacturers today should do the same for rowhammer-affected modules and chips.

Memory errors are particularly disturbing because they are often highly dependent on data and access patterns, and can be extremely difficult to pinpoint without special testing tools. I've personally experienced a situation where a system which otherwise appears to work perfectly well would always corrupt one specific bit of a file when extracting one particular archive.

As a testing tool, MemTest86+ has always worked well for me, and the newer versions can detect rowhammer, although there is this interesting discussion about whether it is actually a problem (to which I say a resounding YES!!!) or if there's some sort of cover-up by the memory industry:

http://www.passmark.com/forum/memtest86/5475-memtest86-v6-2-...

Run it on your hardware and if it fails, I think you should definitely complain and get it fixed.

Riffle – Tor Alternative (MIT)
I spent 3 days off work a few weeks ago watching the Dota International and spent the whole time searching through my emails for 'account', 'registration', etc. trying to find everything I'd ever signed up to and finally move it all to a password manager because I really knew better and was lazy for the past several years. It took 3 days of like 6 hours a day half doing this to update all that I could think of and find. That ended up being about 150 passwords in total.

Even still, I missed last.fm and probably a whole host of other ones that I'll never remember. Passwords are a goddamn nightmare.
