Catching Up With Dallas Angel Network
I did a little digging to see how pebble bed designs approach the decay heat problem. I found a decent publicly available example[1] (MOX fuel notwithstanding). The money shot occurs on page 37:

Heat from the core is transferred to the reactor heat removal system (RHRS)
that is surrounding the RPV at a distance of 1 m. These
water panels are assumed to be at a constant temperature
of 70°C.

This is a bit of a shell game - the problem becomes cooling the water panels so that assumption remains valid instead of cooling the core. This is a much _easier_ problem, since you can use whatever water you like in those panels without damaging the reactor, and the water in the panels won't get contaminated.

And that's sort of what I'm getting at - "passively cooled" in the nuclear industry tends to mean that "the core is passively cooled via heat transfer to some heat sink that you're eventually going to have to think about cooling".

"I think that Rackspace is trying to control Openstack rather than influence it."

So that's why you're up in arms over them making a move to reduce their presence on the board? Sure, they should have handled it better, but it seems silly to jump from a bumbling move to a power grab, especially when the point was to reduce the near-total domination of Rackspace on the board after the Anso purchase.

Wonder if there are more sour grapes behind this than you're letting on.
A Visual Explanation of XMonad Shortcuts
For a VC-funded company, when you charge users, you end up with two results: fewer users, and a very clear concept of the lifetime value of a user. If your cost of acquiring those users is higher than the LTV, you have a huge problem.

With a free site, the cost of acquisition is lower, you have a big fat user number to quote (even if many of them aren't actively using it, since they don't have to pay, they don't cancel) and the LTV is a future, "undetermined", number. So it's not as apparent that maybe a business isn't generating real value.

What people care about shouldn't affect the law.

Suppose a 14year old girl stole some underwear - the store then videos her in her bedroom in the underwear and puts it on TV as an ad campaign. Still acceptable in the USA?

Actually this was the only part of the article that makes sense. Both Chrome and IE have APIs that add special features not part of the general html spec. For example, Chrome apps can run in the background even when a tab is not open. Firefox can't do that. IE apps can integrate with Windows 7 and be pinned directly to the taskbar and have access to jump list commands. Firefox can't do that.

Now I don't think that's enough to hurt Mozilla in any significant way, and these types of features will probably be standardized down the line, but it is true that these other 2 browsers have some special capabilities.
Nice looking site. Good luck!
Let me play devil's advocate (which might actually play in your favor, seeing as you've used that neologism). How do you think new words and phrases make it into the dictionary? It's by a proportionate amount of people using it for a specific meaning. Meaning is an abstract concept. Contrary to popular belief, language is not always logical or literal. It's an ever-changing organism: elastic and metamorphic.

The phrase you quote is not "now just" the norm. It has always been ever since I can remember living in North America. It's nobody's fault the British-speaking world has just discovered it. This reminds me a little of when the Europeans first discovered "America."

This is why Jorge Luis Borges once said, "Todas las palabras fueron alguna vez un neologismo" (All words were once a neologism).
Thanks for the feedback, phlux. I'll try some variations with the colors.

It wasn't meant like that. The comment acted as if it was something new, it's not that hard to read it that way. "I hope this takes off" definitely makes it sound as if it's a brand new feature just coming out or something.

It wasn't meant even half as maliciously as you read into it.

In my experience, most apps on the Chrome store are what Google calls "Hosted Apps": a link plus metadata and an icon [0]. They also provide "Packaged Apps" [1], which are downloaded and run locally as you describe, but this style appears to be much less popular with developers.

>The reason I believe that is that it is my opinion that there are simply too many people on this planet. [...] Ultimately it's unsustainable. Either we'll solve this by breeding less or nature will do it for us.

If by breeding less you mean breeding less than the replacement level so that we can get to a "sustainable" size, I think you are wrong. Our sun puts out enough fusion power that, if we could capture a small chunk of it, each of us could personally use the current energy budge of the entire earth. Ultimately population growth at some fixed percentage is unsustainable (population growth at a fixed percentage grows exponentially, our light-cone polynomially), but I don't think earth's current population is.
Definitely - this is the case with pretty much every Google component that gets open sourced. The only exceptions are projects like Chromium and Android that were designed from the start to be open-sourced.
There's a nice answer on FRP at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1028250/what-is-functiona... - if choices in execution are not revealed to the program, you can still have concurrency without non-determinism. But again, one needs to call in to question what tasks are making progress concurrently, because depending on the level of abstraction you're looking at, you can say that there is concurrency or there isn't. In other words, you might have parallelism at a low level of abstraction, which is a physical optimization of concurrency, and at that low level it might even be non-deterministic, but that non-determinism may not be exposed at a higher level.

Take a spreadsheet implementation as an example. There may be multiple events coming in, and numbers in the sheet updating as the expressions are recalculated. It might even be a multi-user spreadsheet; so it seems there is concurrency (for some level of abstraction). But is there non-determinism?
Neat. I played enough to get 10k. It is much too easy to do that because one earns so many points on the highest difficulty setting and the buttons can be mashed. I found myself having to do this several times because the obscured letter was correct or a spelling I was not familiar with. Have to say that I am not interested enough to pay...

Why Uncertainty is OK
Doesn't necessarily tell you anything. But it can. If you can find for 4-5k that "Yeah, people will buy stuff on mac like our iOS stuff, pull out the whole hog" it makes an excellent business case.

Also, not everything is brand based. For many things, removing the old thing from the store completely obliterates all mention ever made of it (as it wasn't the sort of thing that gets press attention anyhow).

Not everyone is selling apps that make 6-7 figure incomes. Many people are selling multiples that rake in 4-5 and doing quite nicely with that, and with no marketing.

Probably your Web server OOMing the box? Check dmesg.

Apache-specific advice: if you're on a small VPS or other box with not much RAM, and didn't tweak the distribution defaults for MaxClients and friends in its configuration, a HN-size load will OOM you rapidly, especially with mod_php. The defaults for prefork MPM are nuts in the major distros (as in, assuming 4 GB of RAM or more for mod_php).

Since you're going up and down, I assume this is the case. I suggest dropping MaxClients to 5 for now and letting us wait a bit.

If it's "yet another thing I run after I am done writing code" that's just a optimizer IMO, not a different sort of thing.

If it actually changes the code I have written, and then leaves it in that state for some reason 1> I want to know about that and 2> I want to know about if the trade offs of using it are worth it for the payments we make via reduced readability and malleability.

Weird? Try cool. They're seriously considering abolishing that particular quirk, though.

"Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, even Atlanta, they're all unsustainable." What? Where did you get this information? I live it Atlanta and although we did have a drought a couple years ago, we've also had record rainfalls since then. Water issues in these cities can be rectified by increasing the price of water. As the price of water increases the excess use of water drops off (pools, yards, etc.) and the opportunity to innovate in water delivery and reclamation increases.

While I like the initiative, I'm a little worried that someone who says she's a UX designer wouldn't have considered that most Mac users do not run their browsers full-screen, so there's a horizontal scroll bar for anything less than a 1024 width (I think it's 1024). That's not a good UX!

It's common in the USA. People I've spoken to from other countries think it makes those who use it seem ignorant. I'm providing data, not making a judgement. I know that many idioms don't make sense when dissected.

The parts of the world I have regular dealings with - excluding the USA - all say "I couldn't care less," and that actually does make sense. The people I've spoken with about this have expressed bewilderment that the alternate version should be used. They say that it doesn't make sense, and it's open to misunderstanding.

When I speak with customers I don't use the same short-hand or code phrases that I use with my colleagues. Likewise students when applying for jobs or other positions use more formal language, because to do otherwise makes them look uneducated and ignorant. I'm just saying that I've seen the same attitude towards people who use this particular phrase.

Personally, I don't care. In fact, it would be hard for me to care less. I'm just offering a datum that some might find useful.
The parent post isn't describing form over function (there is no loss of functionality by adding a dropshadow to a box). You need the design to hurt the actual functionality of the device in some way before you have that.

When your computer overheats because it absolutely must have no fans and be very small, you have form over function (G4 Cube). When your mouse is difficult for some to use because it is shaped "interestingly" (Apple USB Mouse from 1998), you have form over function.

What people love about Apple isn't design for it's own sake, but rather that they care about how individual parts of a design fit together to make something. That they take most of the sharp edges of a system and remove them so that the experience is great.

Details are important. The packaging of a product is part of the experience and shouldn't be ignored just because it doesn't help you calculate digits of pi faster.

I consider that extraordinarily bad advice.

If you think about the elevator pitch or even the 5-10 seconds of someone's attention you may get, "the X of Y" is a pretty efficient means of communicating what you do and how you do it.

Sure it can also get overused and there is always the trap of thinking that there has to be an X for every Y ("the Priceline of Dating anyone?").

The "plan" is implemented through the bitcoin protocol and software.

Any change would need 50% + 1 of the bitcoin network to follow the new rules.

An effort to change the software to "mint" a greater amount will be countered by those who already hold bitcoins, and can add mining capacity to resist the change.

Another implementation could be launched with a different limit, but that would be a completely separate, new currency.
The resumé is very difficult to read and took a bit of a nosedive into the generic in its attempt to look unique with the crescent shaping.

Also, as a UX designer the design/layout/grammar(?) of the resumé is a head scratcher - lack of capitalization is no longer a style choice and just made everything harder to read, the most important bits of information: name and contact information are ... sideways.

I can't believe this thread got this big over something this simple.

Whether you think it's right or wrong, a jury isn't ever going to give the thief any leniency here. I believe in some European countries there are professional juries? Perhaps Germany?

We don't have that here. It's just people off the street and they have no legal training and they go with their gut feeling quite often and they DEFINITELY will in a case this simple.

If the thief's apartment was burned down or he was murdered or got beat up or something like that as a result of the notoriety, then there may be a case. But not because of some public humiliation or something related to privacy matters.

This is just the way juries work in the US.
Good portfolio except it's a bit too Web centric. Apps, Mobile interaction should be a part of it if this person is serious about working at Instagram.
Pop-A-Lot & DJ Logikal - Dope Boi Knots [Mixtapes] | LockerBlogger
The Chrome store could be more than a link directory, and if that happens it'll be for the same reason Apple's App Store took off: centralized payment. A sane payment system for web apps could be revolutionary, but before that happens we'll need to change the Web's culture. Right now people simply don't pay for web content.

The ability for the Chrome store to deliver local apps, which I suspect you were referring to, is mostly unused and irrelevant. HTML5's offline features can duplicate that functionality on any browser that supports them.
Robot Helicopters Could Be Headed for Japan
At this point, there's nothing innovative or quirky about "active applications." Especially if they're rather mediocre.

EDIT: After looking through the whole thing, I have to revise my opinion. It doesn't even qualify as mediocre -- copy and design are surprisingly awful. Large quantities of pseudo-charming nonsense ("I'm vehement about creating kick-ass interactions", "i can write a mean agile spec,
and i’m comfortable working in a highly iterative environment", the complete section outlining why she's supposedly great for the gig) and completely interchangeable self-promotion. Active applications can be interesting if they're actually tailored to the company in question; this particular instance can't be bothered to make any meaningful connection to Instagram. Well, except for the domain name.
Good point, and we're already seeing things heading that way with app stores cropping up everywhere. I'm sure that there will be something similar for web services soon enough.

That doesn't dispute his points even remotely.

As for 'poorly typeset', I have no choice to agree, if only because her portfolio page implies that her name is "Netta & Design".

Her customer work looks good though, so if, as I assume, she's seeking a design-oriented role, she'd likely do well in a team (where somebody else can say 'Hey, what's up with this bolding?') The fonts in her personality chart are barely there.

Completely offtopic, I'm always wary of people who tell me how funny they are. If you're funny, I'll almost certainly figure that out organically.

Minor nit: "my differences only make me that much more unique."

Unique is an absolute state. One is unique or not; there is no more/less about it. Per the dictionary usage guidelines, think about using something like: "rare, distinctive, unusual, remarkable, or other nonabsolute adjectives".

I thought the quote from Vitorio Miliano in the article was too kind to feminism (equality for everyone? It's a women's interests lobby, let's call a spade a spade), and underestimates how eager Open Source communities are to "discipline unruly users" and provide mentoring.

Every time I can't figure out how to do something in Clozure Common Lisp, I go on IRC, ask for help, get it, and then write about it on the Wiki, at which point the CCL devs thank me for my contribution.

Otherwise, though, I agreed with the article's points.
