Heroku exists because Ruby deployment
is a major pain point

No dude, Heroku exists because dealing with hardware, OS configuration and updates and maintaining a scalable infrastructure (that can be upgraded to how many servers you want, or downgraded) with a sane deployment workflow is a major pain in the ass, no matter the dev tools you're using.

In fact, I found the deployment story of Rails (with the help of Rvm, Rake, Bundler, Capistrano and Passenger) to be the best one yet and no other environment can really match it (although you get pretty close with Python, Django, VirtualEnv, Pip, Fabric and mod_wsgi for example).

And I'm not using something like Heroku btw, as I consider it to be seriously overpriced - I'm maintaining my own Linux servers on top of EC2 (which still involves pain, that I can handle nonetheless, but then again I also have sysadmin skills). Deployment for me is literally just "git push && cap deploy".

R.S.Agarwal Aptitude Test Book
All tweets are not created equal. Value is base on conversion value I guess depending on what the goal is.

Sidenote: Why do so many people lately call it "not for profit" instead of just calling it non-profit. Salmon Khan does this a lot too. Maybe it's just me but that shit sounds whack. So much easier and faster to just say non-profit.
I bought the game the day of the release (having waited for it for twelve years!) and I must say it's good to be back. I agree with some points, the loading times are terrible (especially when you're killed and want to get back in the action sooner) and "boss" levels are hard with the loading times when you're dead too, but guys, it's Duke Nukem!

A point this author didn't make is that it actually feels like different teams in different era's worked on the game, some levels have very blurry low-res textures, other levels are crisp and well-designed.

And as for the "feces"? Picking it up is optional and it dind't cross my mind. You can interact with the environment 1000 times more than Halo (for instance) allows you to which is great.

It's a game for people who've waited 12 years for Duke Nukem.
That would be the in-flight entertainment.

Short answer: No. D3D was never like that.

Long answer: If you were offended by a game where you get pixelated peeing, some strippers with streamer pasties on their boobs and a few cuss words, yes it was offensive. This is hardly comparable, though, as at the time there was nothing like it, unless you include the idiotic outrage from Mortal Kombat.

"Forgot your password" requests usually POST to the web server, not GET (what's usually used in emails). Sending links that give you complete control over the account by default seems like an extraordinarily bad idea--as does allowing users to reset their accounts without any kind of identity verification.

(You could do a POST from an HTML email, but then, in most email clients, the users would be prompted with "You are sending data to the web page. Do you want to continue?" every time they click such notifications.)

Hey, I'm one of the LaunchRock founders.

I'll let you know a dirty little secret. We're not currently filtering bots from our own stats, so it's even higher than that. Since the current app is mostly what we built over a few weeks after our Startup Weekend, it's missing a few details like that.

We're adding filtering in the next version of the app which we'll be opening to the public.
I found it amusing. Perhaps the most amusing part was that they predict people will actually be flying airplanes from point A to point B in 2050.

If you have 3D holographic like pods, you could skype that and not go anywhere. So for business you need to travel, uh why? Can you slip into AndroBot's latest offering and attend a concert on the other side of the globe in 'person' where you have 'better than retina resolution' imagery and 'better than aural recognition' audio and no jet lag and no need to remember to bring your toothbrush?

No business travel btw means no airlines (well at least none of the current airlines). If you really physically had to move your actual self from say San Francisco to Tokyo wouldn't you just buy a space on a Virgin Galactic hopper, go sub-orbital and be there in 45 minutes? You'll be 'online' the entire trip so you don't need the transportation vendor to try to 'guess' what sort of thing you would find entertaining.

Pleasure zeppelins? Sure I could see those, lazily drifting across the recovered rain forests of south America, 'air cruising'.

But I think the days of 'airlines' carrying 'people' are numbered. Give everyone their own personal 100gbit Intenet connection to the world and travel loses a lot of its desirability.

Here's my prediction, in 2050 the only airplane you can fly in as a passenger will be a Boeing 747 that is being run and maintained by an enthusiast society which is preserving what it was like in the 'old' days. :-)
>It "officially dies", then in a matter of a year or two, a sequel is whipped up by another studio using the inherited rights to the name.

That doesn't seem to have been the case.

The game seems to have been mostly complete in 2009 when 3D Realms ran out of cash. Gearbox negotiated with Take Two for the assets and worked with Triptych Games, made up of former 3DR employees, to finish it off.

A showreel containing art that appears in the final game was floating around the Internet in 2009, and the finished game contains an internal trailer by Triptych from 2009 which is very similar to the final game.

I really do think the released game is polished up version of the game from 2009. A half-hearted sequel would use more modern technology, and the mishmash of assets does suggest a protracted development cycle.

I suspect what Gearbox was really after was the rights to the Duke Nukem character and getting involved with DNF was just a means to that end. I suspect we'll be seeing another Duke game relatively quickly.

While the game is far from great, I don't think the game is anywhere near as bad as some reviewers would have you believe. It's just dated and disjointed. I suspect some of the overwhelming negativity is due to the continued creep of sensationalism; you simply don't get many hits for calling something a bit crap, only calling it the worst thing ever.

> It "officially dies", then in a matter of a year or two, a sequel is whipped up by another studio using the inherited rights to the name.

This is not what happened. Please don't spread lies. The single player game is exactly what 3D Realms had developed and Triptych finished following 3DR's demise. Triptych consisted of a bunch of 3DR guys who wouldn't let the game die and spent close to a year working out of someone's house with no compensation. The work done by non-3DR/Triptych people was mainly the multiplayer and the console porting.
I worked on developing a model like this while at the Media Lab. We were trying to model dynamic pricing for one way rentals (with and without restrictions as described on this thread) but ultimately found it very difficult to simulate due to the lack of data.

There's another option for really client-side heavy applications -- use better packager; however, it requires some effort to maintain.
Again, you're assuming "can't" instead for many of these people it's "Why would I waste my time syncing".

I have more apps than fit on many of my devices for instance. I have iPad and iPhone versions of the same apps in many cases.

Syncing only turns into pain as it's a pain to get exactly what you want on each device when you have a few hundred apps to go through.

All of my contacts and really anything important is in the cloud. All pictures are copied off from a program that doesn't suck, etc.

It's free and easy to just install the few apps I want on each device through the store.
Leaked NPD(German right wing party) donors-list meets Google maps
Yet, he clearly is a more successful CEO now
than 10 or 20 years ago

That's mostly because success is a strange beast with many variables, including luck and timing. If he's more successful than 10-20 years ago, that doesn't mean that 20 years ago he wasn't more capable than he is now.

Also, if you measure success by how much money he makes, then Pixar was his biggest success, an investment that started in 1986 and ended in 2006 - paying serious dividends as Jobs became a major stockholder of Disney.
Oh, it's a systemic issue, for the most part. And it's not so much actual spam as it is social spam. Facebook revolves heavily around pushing information towards your attention, and I'm very much a pull-oriented person with rare exceptions.

As to my CSS {display:none;}, though, I ended up distributing it to a large portion of my friends. The overall consensus was (and likely is, though this is mostly before the ability to categorize things) that the feed is:

A) too addicting, because it pulls you back in when you could be doing something else. There's always something interesting going on when you have a lot of connections, and you can't remove connections or risk offending people (though that's largely fixed now). Its mere presence is a threat to being productive, which ends up leaving you feeling like you wasted your day.

and B) utterly crammed with irrelevant information (app this, lame-quote-status-update that, drinking-photos those), so the bits you actually wish to keep up on get lost in the sea or pushed off the end of the world (page 2). I recognize this is a largely un-solvable problem, as everyone is different, but the tool-set simply isn't there to even manage it efficiently.

So it ends up being the zeitgeist of things you're not involved in and you either want to be in on or you want to just shut up. With the occasional relevant flotsam that keeps you checking it through all the failing times.

Last I saw, things had improved somewhat, with the most important step being lists of friends. But I've been out of it for a couple years now, so some of the gripes may not be overly relevant.
This is the airplane of 40 years in the future?

Compare this to the past 40 years: in 1970, we had... the Boeing 737 and 747. They're still making them today.

Sure, there have been evolutionary enhancements. But that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence for future revolutions.

Why the hell would you use this over djbdns?

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html
Not sure. Electronic communication keeps increasing, apparently making travel always less needed, yet flight passenger numbers worldwide keep increasing.

Yes, the electronic experience will improve, but expect real world attractions that will also improve in intensity. Think Burj Khaliva or Spaceship 2.
I totally agree with this. The article really put me off by beginning with outright moralizing. By all means, tell me the game isn't fun to play. Tell me it's all corridors and cutscenes. Tell me it's slow and buggy. Those are things I care about. I definitely don't need to hear anybody's opinion about whether the tasteless humor is the acceptable kind of tasteless humor, or the unacceptable kind that makes fans of it "wrong". And you can clearly see that the author knows he shouldn't be doing this, since he doth spend an entire paragraph protesting too much about how it's totally his place to do this.
Not so sure about that. Talking to my friend in London on video Skype does not at all make visiting her in person obsolete. What is this, Barbarella?
Agreed such a terrible review.

I mean his first reaction was to kill the women - and then shout down the game for it - considering they explode exactly 5 seconds after the dialogue ends, so yeah, really tried to avoid that huh..

> What happened to this?

There's been some preliminary stuff on giving spawned node processes a more slick API, with the intent of then being able to optimize them in some way.

Whether or not it'll end up at the WebWorker API is yet to be seen, but that'd certainly fit with node's "don't reinvent BOM conventions where they fit" pattern.
I'm really enjoying this, the utter simplicity of it has a certain appeal. I would really like the ability to add columns / rows at the cursor position, though. Moving things around / feature heaven / hell would be fun, but that I think would be a net improvement without breaking the simplicity at all.
> "Forgot your password" requests usually POST to the web server

No they don't. They usually just have some sort of password reset token as part of the query string for a standard GET. AFAIK there isn't any good way to POST from the body of an email - do mail readers even do JavaScript?

I'm waiting for Yahtzee to rip into it. He has a knack for separating the merely pedestrian from the truly terrible. If he can't laugh at DNF, there's a good chance I won't be able to, either.
Also, that's the core of my argument - the "click here to reset your password" link that is sent, on command, is a link that gives you "complete control over the account" without identity verification (other than your email box).
I don't mean to diminish accounting as a discipline. I'm sorry if I came across that way. My point was that the cash position doesn't reflect real revenue until the contingency is cleared. At best, you can "gamble" with the money while you have it.
>think about what most people do on planes, especially those that fly often. They sleep, catch up on work, read, or watch the in-flight entertainment.

Those are the options currently available, so that makes sense. Personally I do look out the window a lot when I can, so giant windows would be nice.

I agree what they improved seems a bit... I don't know what. The video shows the futuristic shape-shifting chairs positioned in rows about eight feet away from each other. To heck with that, we'd be happy if they'd just give us enough room to back more than 30 degrees or straighten our legs. Seems like there will be an awful lot of in between points from here to this dream airplane... a realistic view of what planes could look like in say, 10 years would be more interesting.

> The aircraft's bone-like structure would allow for panoramic views.

Great, that's exactly what I need. People around me opening up their "skylight" while I'm trying to get some shut-eye. It's bad enough when someone opens the tiny windows we have right now. Makes it damn near impossible to sleep without an eye mask, which are really uncomfortable (for me).

There are exactly 7 things that I want from a "futuristic" airplane:

1) Make it so my ears don't pop.

2) Get rid of the ridiculously loud engine drone.

3) Make the seats/legroom bigger.

4) Increase the air humidity so my throat and eyes don't dry out.

5) Free internet and power outlet in coach.

6) Make it OK to use wireless & electronic devices during all times of the flight (even takeoff/landing).

7) Get rid of the damn windows, or at least make it possible for me to somehow block all light from entering my vicinity.

But I'm sure as hell not holding my breath for any of those things, because they're probably the last things on Airbus's mind.
Google's Les Paul Doodle Cost More Than 10 Million Man Hours
That article about remapping shortcuts in OS X is nice. Sadly, it was written a while ago, and, while the method in it does allow me to add a new shortcut in Snow Leopard[1], it apparently does not deactivate the old one. Thus, my newly created shortcut quits Firefox; but so does command-Q. :-(

> Like what? I hear this argument all the time, but it's always unsubstantiated.

Have you ever done it? It's very comfortable. It reduces one element of friction in the daily thought-work of the programmer.

By the same token, a comfortable chair or nice text editor won't turn an amateur into an all-star programmer in the absence the other important stuff (smarts, work, etc.) It can be a huge waste of time to fret over your editor or your chair adjustments. But that's not going to make me less likely to sit in a nice ergonomic chair and use vim rather than notepad.

Comfort isn't everything, but it's certainly not nothing.
