Did they tell you that they were going to just wipe the coffee off and put it back together? I used to do Apple repairs and the $620 sounds in line with a full upper clamshell w/ keyboard replacement. Just "rub wiping" the coffee off wouldn't be satisfactory since you can't reach all of the places that the coffee penetrated, even with a full keyboard teardown.

"Great Lost Works" is an interesting subcategory. I'd include Aristotle's 2nd book of poetics on comedy, Claudius' Art of playing Dice, Euclid's Book of Fallacies, Philip K. Dick's three lost novels (A Time for George Stavros, Pilgrim on the Hill, and Nicholas and the Higs.), L. Frank Baum's four adult novels (Our Married Life and Johnson, The Mystery of Bonita, and Molly Oodle).

Right, also heat dissipation is a function of the processors. I don't think Intel has any processor offerings in the i5 and i7 families which will enable fan-less laptop design. Asus seems to have swapped the Core M processors with the i5 and i7 families in their latest Zenbooks. At 700$ this laptop is a steal.

That's just the point. People seem to think that because we don't even know how to use the current technology correctly, adding dozens of new alternate technologies would somehow make the situation better. - Then they're surprised that adding all those new cool technologies didn't actually fix the issue(s), probably made those just worse. Because nobody knows how to use the new tools correctly either.
How does Caddy compare to nginx performance wise? I have a similar setup like you running on nginx.

Not a bad heuristic tool and set of questions. I think the 3rd step Economic questions are the most difficult for new founders and where people get tripped up:

Are your costs viable?...What is the effort for a user to switch to the product?...Is it easy for a competitor to copy the startup’s ideas?...How might user adoption grow?...etc.

Potential founders see some startups bootstrapping costs very early and see other startups unprofitably burning dosh for years and years even past their IPO (eg hello Twitter, with Snapchat about to join them).

Competitor risk analysis can be paralyzing for a new founder who reads the news. Google, Facebook and Amazon et al. can essentially build anything they want. While copycat startups can pop up overnight. Sure the big guys might buy you, but they might also build themselves or acquire one of these competitor startups that started after you. 1st means nothing anymore. Even the example doesn't really overcome Google as a competitor. Competitor risk can be very subjective and VC forecasts are not much better than founders here - this is the easiest area to disagree on and get pushback on.

Honestly these 1-page biz planning tools are fine for college kids learning about startups. Or for VCs keeping their public profile active. But before VCs give a founder real money I think most VCs do a set of "common sense tests". This is what this is, a version of a common sense test for a founder. If you're overly optimistic as a founder while not having thought out potential future scenarios Plan A thru Plan C that would fail a common sense test.

Seems like the stronger your idea, your I.P. or your team's technical skills, the less common sense needed, you are worth mentoring even though you don't get it yet. Still do a common sense check regularly...

I can never take caddy seriously until they get serious about updates and start working with linux packages.

When you have to do this: https://gist.github.com/Jamesits/2a1e2677ddba31fae62d022ef8a...

That means your webserver is not going to receive updates until you re-do this manually each time, which is dangerous and not at all something you should be using proffessionally.

Well, parent's argument is that Facebook is already deciding which speech they don't like, so they're already doing some kind of identification. The question then becomes, can government compel them to change that definition to meet laws and regulations that the govt. wants to enforce?

Companies already cater to national laws, e.g. Twitter censoring accounts in Turkey on the behest of their government.

Is Java Our Best Choice to Protect Our Code?
I’m an options trader with a strong background in R. My aim is to build a piece of software to be sold to funds and other traders. I was told some things by an ex-programmer friend of mine (he now outsources all his programming and merely manages his businesses) and wanted to check with a larger group whether he’s putting me on the right track.

So the general idea is that I need to create an interface for my customers. R doesn’t have a UI system, so I thought of using Python, as I heard it is similar to R. However, my friend said that Python software is easily reverse engineered, meaning my software could be stolen or copied, leaving me with fewer customers and new competitors.

He recommended Java for this reason. Specifically, to create a product that secures my backend (lol), he said I must learn Java IDE aka Eclipse and Java SDK. Two questions:

Is he right?
How large is the gap between R programming and Java programming?

I aim to create an MVP of the product before registering my business and showing the MVP to potential clients. Thus, I would like to estimate the timeline of the project. The actual coding should be fast and simple in R – mainly data input followed by correlation calculations and the output of a metric – but the time-consuming step, I figure, will be applying my R knowledge in the Java paradigm.

Thanks for reading this far.

I'd word it something along the lines of: "Communicate securely with your team, confident that we've taken care of your online security via [list of reasons]". Yes, confidence is a feeling but for me it sounds better this way. Saying "you can feel confident" reads to me like "with MtGox, your funds can be secure".
That is about TDD and not unit testing in general. And there sample population was graduates and undergraduates.

I'd say 90% of developers, which includes a lot of good ones too, never learned to write good unit tests. Poorly written unit tests are worse for productivity and no better for correctness than no unit tests.

My point is, so called enlightenment does not necessarily lead people to living a richer life. Paradoxically, even though enlightenment is meant to remove burdens, some "enlightened" people treat it as a burden in its own right, even though they wouldn't necessarily admit this.

What you need there then (if you are a Windows shop - unlikely), is Lync or Skype for Business.

Despite it being Microsoft, I've found it to be the most reliable and seamless system for multi-party Audio, Video, and Screen-sharing based meetings - and I've used at some time or another in my career almost all the other big hitters in the corporate virtual-conferencing space.

Combine Lync/SfB with one of those nice multi-camera units[1] that sit in the middle of the meeting table and provide audio tracking of the speaker (the active camera switches to the person speaking) along with always-on 360 degree video as well - and it's the closest you can get to being there.

Perhaps for now. I expect this to shift just as we saw mobile apps shift. Slowly at first then a mass migration of users towards the new model.

Example: Steam

I just don't think any implementation has really been that great yet. However as I think about Steam, it's rare I even consider a game I can't install via it - mostly due to it being an easy way to "back up" my games for later availability. That and they keep things up to date so it more or less Just Works.
Author here. Yeah, pretty much everything in the article is an anti-pattern. However, people are doing these things, and the implementations are correct, and perform well enough for us. There are downsides, and dragons... beware!

Is this a joke? During the Middle Ages, Europe was a feudal backwater of peasant farmers and small continuously warring kingdoms. Scientific and mathematical knowledge (optics, mechanics, astronomy, medicine, ...) throughout the Muslim world was considerably further developed, and there were well organized and well funded cultural institutions devoted to scientific research (not to mention much wider access to traded luxury goods, more resources devoted to fine arts, greater literary output, much more sophisticated financial/business operations, etc.). If Greek and Roman works hadn’t been preserved in Arabic translation in great libraries in prosperous Islamic cities, many would not survive to today. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_world_contributions_to...

The "Great Recession" is really a "New Great Depression" instead the phrase was propagandized to blunt the severity of the economic disaster of '08. Public universities should not teach anything outside of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Physics (Harvey Mudd Model [1]).

Want to major in Puppeteering[2]? You can't do it on the government's dime. You can learn something useful at a public college and prepare yourself for a sustainable job after graduation. Or you can take that major at a private university if they offer it and if you can afford it.

I was conned by a public education system (pre-K through college) that led me to believe I could major in anything and sustain myself financially. We should change our majors to suit survival in society. Education is not an elite luxury anymore to pass the time. It amounts to a high school diploma in this generation. It should be treated as a method of securing economic safety. And we shouldn't be ashamed of curtailing majors to ensure said safety.

At the extreme end if a user runs something on their computer they can extract the algorithms. The only real way to prevent people from reverse engineering is running all meaningful code on your own hardware.

Python is particularly easy to reverse engineer because you usually ship the source code which is then interpreted. They can read what you wrote literally. If you did a compiled variant this is not as bad.

Java can be reverse engineered as the code is just in time compiled. For example minecraft modding communities would routinely extract the source code repack it with new features.

There are always things you can do to make it harder (using a very optimized binary out of GCC with symbols stripped). But the general rule is, if you don't want them to have it, don't give it to them. Run it personally and give them a remote interface.
I don't think this can be considered "pay what you want". There were some indie games I wanted to check out, but 30$ is a little too high for those.

hi, organizer of swedish stupidhackathon here. i sent an email to the people at stupidhackathon.com. they were super sweet and told us to go for it. so do it - go for it.

what's nice about organizing a stupid hackathon is that it's really easy. if someting doesn't work out you can just shrug your shoulders and say hey that's stupid. like our livestream for instance. i forgot to plug in the microphone so there was no sound. very stupid!

Top 25% doesn't sound all that great given how many are totally incapable of running a mile in any time. I once looked up my swimming pace for a typical workout (15min x 5km). That's well within the top 0.1%. Navy SEALs dont swim that well. But given that probably less than 1% of the general population swim any laps regularly, it isnt saying much.

Fyi, if you want to feel good about your swimming, lookup the youtube vids of the navy seals swimming standards. I know 12yo kids who could pass them. Their pace wouldnt even qualify for the 'fast' lane at my local lap pool (50m/minute).
Interesting. How difficult would a remote interface be for someone like me create?
As headlines go, this one elicits a "Duh."

Actually, I looked at the encryption question specifically. The question is: "Has the subject engaged in or discussed tradecraft to contextually hide their online activity different from previous activity?"

So, if you're always encrypting everything, the answer here is no. Dude always encrypted everything, dude still encrypts everything.

They are flagging if you suddenly start using an encrypted communication service for specific things, as another indicator something's going on. That's fair enough imo.

From what I understand ancient Roman schoolchildren did most of their writing on wax tablets. It’s not clear when writing slates were first used; one of the earliest known examples is apparently 11th century India, though I’m not sure if they used chalk or some other writing material. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate_(writing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackboard

So to correct your statement: this was quite common in the 18th–20th century, well after the introduction of “arithmetic” and Hindu–Arabic numerals, which were popularized in Europe by Leonardo of Pisa’s 1202 book Liber Abaci (mostly material translated from Arabic sources).

Before that (and for a few hundred years after in most parts of Europe), most calculation was done with counting boards.

Here’s a famous 1503 woodcut showing a comparison between arithmetic (“Boethius”) vs. abacus (“Pythagoras”): http://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/images/upload_library...
This situation seems very different to me. Apple didn't publicly raise a billion and a half dollars of funding on the promise of the phone during the time you mention, and it's been nearly 3 years since the hype started around the Google investments with almost nothing to show. Apple had already made the iPod and was well established. Smartphones already existed, just not as well executed. Magic Leap is promising a vast advancement of the state of the art in multiple fields.
