I agree. Developing on Ubuntu on a VM has been a great experience for me so far. It seems much less painful to develop on a platform that is similar to where you will be deploying.
Bitcoins are inherently nothing. Either the hoarder injects them into active circulation or a financial institution holding them will lend them out (assuming such institutions will exist, and if they don't exist, there'll be pressure for them to exist, either from present institutions or newly created ones.) Don't underestimate banks' desire to accumulate whatever liquid assets they can get their hands on. Goldman Sachs will realize this if no one else does.

In any case, scarcity+marketplace has its own checks and balances.

> You need to be aware that most built-in string functions won't work

Actually the non-mb string functions will work perfectly fine for almost everything. For example splitting on space or comma, or joining strings will work just fine with UTF-8. The only things that don't work are those that split by character position. Even search works fine.

> You need to set internal encoding to UTF-8 for some extensions in php.ini.

ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8');
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

> You need to normalize all input yourself

Only if you need to compare against it (for example to see if the username was taken). Most of the time you just store the input as is.

For PCRE make sure to add the /u option.
ES doesn't have haystack support, and shoe-horning it in is pretty hard to do because ES semantics are quite different from the search engines Haystack supports.

I use ES via Python, and ended up writing my own backend for it that approximates the Django ORM.
Thanks Travis. I actually just tried signing up for ad sense, and they rejected my app due to lack of content. Basically, the app provides a lot of charts and graphs based on user data, but doesn't have much in the way of text, and it appears Google Ad Sense won't work effectively in that case. I'll take a look at google DPF and see if I can use other ad networks as per your suggestion. Thanks for the tip!
If this takes off, people probably won't wear condoms most of the time, and the number of people being diagnosed with STD's will skyrocket.

I don't understand this thinking. To me condoms have always been about STD protection and not pregnancy prevention. I'd like to think for most people this idea will not change. I mean if you barely know a girl and she tells you that she's on the pill so you don't need a condom that should be a giant, screaming in your ear red flag to put your clothes back on and run home. I don't see how this will be any different if a guy tells a girl the same thing.
I don't understand what I am supposed to take away from this link. I basically agree with the top-rated answer; that approach looks to be about how I'd do it. Is there something unusual here?

A true cloud service decouples your usage from your data. Email has almost always been "cloud" (IMAP, anyway).

Dropbox and Flickr? Those aren't good examples of cloud services to me because I think the biggest benefit of the cloud is that you can stop using a service but still have access to your data.

IOS widgets in your web app: UX or branding?
It's like trying to programming without being able to type. The ideas can't flow when you are constantly held up by not having mastered an underlying skill.

I almost love this analogy. There's certainly an aspect of "menial mathematics" which is like typing in that it directly translates into fluency of thought. There's also an aspect of discovery, though, that's missing from the metaphor.

There is a large difference between inferring that some equality holds based on abstract principles and actually performing the evaluation and directly tracing out why that equality holds (even very non-generally). I liken it to statistical modeling sometimes: models allow you to talk about and comprehend data on a high level, but only by directly plotting all of the data at high resolution can you let your brain's natural pattern seeking tendencies reach out for further insight.

That's a common theme there: granularity versus generality.
The simple way is ignore everything after the first point 7. Your code WILL be broken but so is everyone else's code. 99% of programmers don't know much about encodings I don't expect them to start learning about the issues with unicode's normalization and collation algorithms.

On most of those issues being the only one that gets it right is either pointless or retroactively wrong.
This seems targeted as an alternative to a vasectomy, which also does not prevent STDs.
yes, people are. i use it daily (on top of p9p and 9vx). there are people building commercial products, using plan9 both for development and in the product itself. there are many research projects using it, including running it on some of the largest computers on the planet.

it'd be hard (but not impossible) to use it to the exclusion of other things as a desktop today, because you can't get a very good native browser (there are workarounds, but they're all tough in different ways). there's lots of other environments where it makes great sense, though.
You claim that context is not important, but surely in a domain-specific corpus such as HN comments you have to take domain, if not context, into account?

For example, words that are generally positive may be only used in a snarky context in hacker circles, whereas words that are generally negative may similarly be used with positive affect (e.g. the word "hacker" itself). Did you customise your lexicon at all for this genre?

Also, in my experience, it's not the lexicon of words -- heck, SentiWordNet has existed for long enough -- it's what you do with that input signal that counts. Many "bag of words" approaches are on the shelf now, and very few of them are particularly accurate or clever, but most of them do the job just well enough that they get away with it.
I think the list of apps on iPhone only is actually pretty extensive. A lot of the apps will show up much later, or will eventually end up with an analogous app but not necessarily the original.

Some examples:
-MindBody Yoga. A directory app for yoga classes
-Angry Birds. Took 6 months or longer to end up on Android
-Qrank. I don't think they have an Android app
-Pictureka. At least when I was playing it, they didn't have a version on Android.
-AirBnB. I think they only have an iPhone app
etc...
I can go on for a while... :)

I think the contenders here are Google's Go, Mozilla's Rust and for an academic longshot BitC.

Thus far, Go is the most mature & has the most traction, but is still very much in its early days and a minority sport. Outside of Google, the most ambitious use of Go in production is Heroku's Doozer.

There are those who would say D should be in my list above. However the D community seems to be fatally divided and D has failed to get sufficient traction despite being around for quite a few years.

Wow, these women are the height of irresponsibility.

Here's my theory about why people think that women are more responsible for birth control.

1. They are more directly affected by pregnancy. They are the ones who would have to bear the child or to have an abortion. Abortions are not fun. Vacuuming your uterus is probably not a pleasant experience. Of course, I'm being somewhat flippant. I do think that women who have foresight and intelligence are responsible human beings who try to have children only when they want to. Of course, there are cultural and socioeconomic issues at play here. I"m not trying to suggest that men are not affected by children, but they don't need to bear the physical consequences. So birth control is more of an abstract conception for men. Although they bear the financial consequences...sometimes.

2. The idea that women are more responsible in general. Of course, this is a terrible and misguided stereotype. I know many irresponsible women (One similar to your story - she has two kids now.)If women seem more responsible, it's probably because society teaches women to be responsible and risk-averse from birth.

EDIT: for grammar and formatting.
We're using MongoHQ and have been for around a year.

1) We're outside of the AWS infrastructure, the latency is bearable esp. with caching. If you can cache it then the latency straight away only matters a small % of the time.

If chiropracty works, it would be a surprise given the history. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractic_history for more details, but basically it was founded by a complete crackpot and there's no reason to believe it should work.

Further, many studies have found weak effects, no effects, and negative effects. When you see this kind of evidential pattern, it almost always means that the effect isn't real and we're just seeing experimental error. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractic#Evidential_basis

That said, the placebo effect for something like chiropracty or massage can be very strong - and the placebo effect is real! Giving someone a saline shot creates a stronger effect than giving them a sugar pill; I don't know where chiropracty exists on that spectrum.

This is a classic case of Ask Culture meets Guess Culture.

In some families, you grow up with the expectation that it's OK to ask for anything at all, but you gotta realize you might get no for an answer. This is Ask Culture.

In Guess Culture, you avoid putting a request into words unless you're pretty sure the answer will be yes. Guess Culture depends on a tight net of shared expectations. A key skill is putting out delicate feelers. If you do this with enough subtlety, you won't even have to make the request directly; you'll get an offer. Even then, the offer may be genuine or pro forma; it takes yet more skill and delicacy to discern whether you should accept.

All kinds of problems spring up around the edges. If you're a Guess Culture person -- and you obviously are -- then unwelcome requests from Ask Culture people seem presumptuous and out of line, and you're likely to feel angry, uncomfortable, and manipulated.

If you're an Ask Culture person, Guess Culture behavior can seem incomprehensible, inconsistent, and rife with passive aggression.

Obviously she's an Ask and you're a Guess. (I'm a Guess too. Let me tell you, it's great for, say, reading nuanced and subtle novels; not so great for, say, dating and getting raises.)

Thing is, Guess behaviors only work among a subset of other Guess people -- ones who share a fairly specific set of expectations and signalling techniques. The farther you get from your own family and friends and subculture, the more you'll have to embrace Ask behavior. Otherwise you'll spend your life in a cloud of mild outrage at (pace Moomin fans) the Cluelessness of Everyone.

> Math is precise.

No, this statement is too strong. There are many examples in mathematics where one cannot exactly calculate a result (e.g. because one doesn't know all inputs), but one can give an estimation and prove that it is good enough for a certain purpose.

1. State clearly why they were there

2. State clearly what they needed.

Jason's note had two statements that did exactly that.

ONE >>Right now, we're preparing for the PhoCusRight conference next week, the travel industry's largest get together. We're trying to make some connections with people at the conference.

TWO >>Can you help us connect with leaders in the Business Travel divisions of Expedia or Orbitz? Or any other introduction that you feel would help us?

Remember without those two simple points, you are wasting yours and other peoples time. And then they wonder (very LA indeed) "And you are wasting my time because?" - which is the last thing anyone should be thinking.

Cellphones have been in wide use for twenty-something years now. Surely if there were any significant increase in the risk of cancer it'd be showing up epidemiologically?

As well as a lack of epidemiological evidence, we still don't have a plausible mechanism as to how mobile phones might cause brain cancer -- the energies involved just don't seem to be sufficient to actually do anything bad. I've seen promising students waste their PhDs on trying to figure out how mobile phones might be able to cause cancer, only to come up dry.

Incidentally, a handy hint for students (and others) choosing research topics: avoid asking those questions where one possible answer is interesting and the other one is boring. If you ask "Does x cause y, and x causing y would be a big deal whereas x being unrelated to y is completely boring, then that's not a good topic for PhD work.

It's not the arithmetic you're trying to get insight into - it's the structures.

I have a feeling I'm never going to be able to convey what I'm trying to because you're not a mathematician, and I'm not a good enough writer. It's not just about becoming better at the arithmetic, it's about finding and creating structure, order, relationships and mappings.

But I'm going to stop now. It's clear that I'm just not expressing myself well enough to make the point, and I've spent far too long on it. I regret not being a good enough writer - and perhaps not a good enough mathematician - to explain in a way so as to make it clearer.

Wealth consists of things like cured diseases, tasty and nourishing meals, being dry when it rains, and seeing the people you love as often as you want; and the resources and skills we use to create those other kinds of wealth, such as antibiotics, bread mold, spices, beans, houses, corrugated steel, iron ore, blast furnaces, airplanes, kerosene, and CAD software.

Gesell's scheme does not destroy any of those things; it only destroys money. Money is not wealth. Money is just a way to facilitate cooperative ventures with people we don't know and trust. With money, I can cooperate with 200 other people to pay for an intercontinental flight, and with the hundreds of thousands of other people who drilled and refined the kerosene, aluminum, and other resources needed to keep us in the air.

But the money game has a lot of drawbacks. So it's sensible to experiment with it and see how we can improve it. Gesell's scheme was one such experiment. It was reported to be very effective at creating wealth by its proponents when it was tried.

It will always cost about the same to produce a bitcoin as the bitcoin is worth. If it costs more, people will stop doing it and the difficulty will drop. If it costs less, people will profit by doing it and the difficulty will rise as more people join in.

It's already difficult for individuals to produce bitcoins, but people have solved that by pooling their resources, getting regular rewards of fractional bitcoins.

About that Mad Minute.... Sure it may be great for for kids that are already good at it. The fact that you thought it was a "game" says a lot.

But for kids that haven't gotten the fluency with the arithmetic tables yet it just raises their anxiety level, even to the point of near-panic. Which of course shuts down exactly those parts of the brain that you need to be running well to be good at math. The anxiety association with math becomes the lesson learned and as a result students can end up absolutely hating math because they feel sure that "I'm just not good at it".

Of course, it could be a fun experiment to try on some college students.
