I choose words on the basis of how precisely they convey my desired meaning - which may exist at multiple levels, eg using esoteric words when talking about esoteric words. It seems to me somewhat anti-elitist of you to decry those who enjoy taking such care.

(I scored 35,300; of the words I recognized only about six were ones I don't either read or use with some regularity. I read a fair amount of literature though.)
> the images on the page change with every request based on the item specifics, therefore combining them into one sprite image is not possible.

It is very possible. Just include the sprite dimensional and positional info in an inline CSS stylesheet on the page and generate a sprite sheet as you would normally. Base64 data: URIs add tons of overhead which will definitely end up being much slower. Not to mention that they're using PNG when they should be using JPEG, which just worsens the issue even more.
How so a similar situation?

You have known many professors who are going through reporting a fifth of their class to the deans for cheating? You know how they feel and act during that event? Really?

I firmly disbelieve. I spent 9 years in a university setting, knew a lot of professors, and I personally knew exactly nobody who went through that. And from what I know of human nature, and the likely emotions that someone in that position would feel, I very strongly suspect that your judgement of how they would react is completely wrong.
That's true, I doubt many sites would get as much from 'x' gold. It's still not the kind of revenue plan most people would consider as a better bet than advertising, that's what struck me as interesting.
Both the article and the comments were unsophisticated.

The big surprise is that the new Byte has no backbone. A strong journal doesn't withdraw an opinion piece when readers get offended, even when the offended are Apple users.

I miss the old Byte before it was swallowed by big media.
Indeed, they'd cache the [A,B,C] case as well as the [B] one separately, which does reduce the effectivity of caching if there are many common assets and combinations. However in their case the set of images is (supposedly) wildly different per page, so I guess this is not much of a problem.

One theory is that coders from L.A., such as myself, who want to work for a startup move to the Bay Area. This would inflate the number of risk takers in the Bay Area and deflating that number in L.A.

Another point to look at is that while many companies in the Bay Area are 'engineer-driven' many of the tech jobs in L.A. simply exist within other industries such as entertainment.
Code rarely tells you the intent or general principles behind its design. Mentoring does. This is ultimately more important than the finished code itself.

Reading code is valuable. It's not a substitute for actually working with experienced people on real projects. I can look through the Linux source all I want, but that doesn't tell me what it was like to sit down at a blank editor window and start writing an operating system, or how Linux evolved from simple test program to terminal emulator to bootable OS.
You attempted to refute the claim that people should control themselves better in such situations. And you did so very clearly, by inferring that spreading the mood to the 75% was perfectly logical.

As a student who has not cheated, but has had to sit through countless lectures about cheating, and a few where large portions of the class did, I ask you and (other?) teachers this question: to whom are you teaching? The ones who are learning, or the ones who are cheating?

I understand that you're stuck with both, but either find motivation in the successes or consider another line of work - it's part of the job. Otherwise you're screwing the ones who did the right thing.
"Energy efficiency" is _not_ an energy source and cannot be handled as one.

The developed world has now for at least 30 years been trying to reduce its energy demand, but energy demand is rising all the same. Thinking that it is constant, and that you can simply modify some houses and then the next day switch off a power plant is a complete daydream. Energy demand will not fall.

Besides, what is missing in this calculation is the energy consumption of getting workers to those 1.6 million homes, and producing and installing the insulation materials.

Anyway, the question is not "how can we switch off some power plants?" but "what kind of plants do we want to build to meet the growing demand?". The options are: coal, gas, oil, and nuclear. Forget wind and solar---these are still toys.

Currently, when some country, e.g. germany, decides to "replace nuclear with wind and solar energy", it actually replaces it with coal and gas. You need to make realistic comparisons. Do not compare proven technologies to daydreams!

People who lead revolutions tend not to be very humble, from what I can glean from history. So what you're suggesting might work.
I took the opposite approach.

I checked all the boxes on the first page but one, "vibrissae" (roughly, whiskers), and saw even more boxes on the second page and groaned. So I punted, and went back to the first page, reloaded it, and checked only one box: vibrissae.

After finding 17 words on the second page, I left them all blank, following the same methodology. My vocabulary size was estimated to be 20 words.

From this, I deduced that my total vocabulary size was all the words ever known to any English speaker anywhere, anytime - minus 20.

This made me very pleased with myself, even though I knew my assumptions were pretty terrible.

(Interesting that the spell check in my browser doesn't recognize vibrissae.)

Don't forget that the powerful Firefox extensions like noscript, firebug, imacros,... are what (many) users love about Firefox. Chrome only has "lite" versions of these tools for technical reasons (limited extension API).

So I agree that the very rapid release schedule is the problem here. It brings more problems than it solves. Just because Google does something, does not mean it is good for everyone.
That would be rather hard, even if we had neural interfaces - I hope to do away with most languages so that we have only a few (ideally one) left, and hopefully those wouldn't be too dissimilar either.

I'll admit though that that point was rather tangential to the post I was replying to.

A few points:

* you might expect raindrops themselves to be quasi-random since they are formed by accumulation of humidity in small areas

* the surface tension of the drops would certainly help in accumulating nearby drops in the table mesh, but not enough by itself to combine nearby cells (which you can see with several examples in the picture)

* I suspect the filled-cells are formed by condensation along the wire mesh instead of drops falling directly into each hole, and since the condensation would be evenly distributed (the air around the table will have uniform humidity), you would expect the filled cells to be regularly distributed like this since a drop forming in a cell would use condensation required by neighbors to form drops
No one wants to kill anyone here.

I am all for using analogies to reassess my views, but the degree of comparison should be similar for the analogy to work. I can't even process for a second how cheating is anything like threatening to kill someone.
How do you know it beat advertising as a revenue source? There are no details except that it's been judged successful. It may be simply that it successfully augmented their existing revenue streams.

I would love to see a "citation graph" of the papers in turnitin's database.

I had a professor in college who had used the exact same test for 10 years. It was so well known that a "key" had been cobbled together over the years with all of the correct answers and you could readily get n-generation photocopies of this "key".

Only a few of us declined this tempting document, wanting to actually learn the material. It eventually became known that the test itself was a copy of a test from another professor at another school.

Later in my grad program, we received quite a bit of instruction from professors who were clearly just using the slides that came with the textbook as their lecture material.

I've always wondered if one could trace assignments and exams and answers through some very large citation graph...even better over time, seeing how one ancient paper has provided passing grades for generations of students.

I can't speak for the parent poster, but I deployed bottle with the grandparent poster without any significant performance issues*. This was first under mod_wsgi, then paste.deploy once mod_wsgi got to be a headache, and now I'm looking at gunicorn as a simpler alternative to paste.deploy.

So, why the asterisk next to "no issues"? I was able to wedge our app once by doing frequent, unbuffered, blocking socket.reads for one byte at a time in our RPC library... the GIL is a fearsome thing and it didn't play well with this strategy under highly concurrent request loads. I don't see that as a bottle problem, though.

If you're anticipating high loads, though, I wholly recommend looking at Brubeck (http://brubeck.io/) or Tornado (http://www.tornadoweb.org/)
Can't help if you choose to twist my use of the word "similar" into "same".

I've been through multiple stop-te-cheating lectures and each time, the professors went out of their way to appreciate the non-cheats and minimize negative impact on the innocent due to the actions of the guilty minority.

I will be a lot more interested in the Brazilian site when it goes live! I'm not making any particular effort to expand my English vocabulary (having a smaller vocabulary is not among the top ten reasons my writing in English is worse than Shakespeare's) but my Portuguese vocabulary is muito terrivel. It would be great to have a way to measure my progress.

Edit: Oh. The Brazilian site is just a Portuguese version of the instructions for the English site? :(
Really good read, is a first hand account.
There are many ways for which most of the same benefit can be gotten, such as having the software be paid for by each school, which would host it itself and maintain its own database. Crawling from the web would still be feasible (just with a lot of duplication of effort between universities), and you would still be able to catch students at the same school who copy from each other---and most of the students who copy from others are going to copy from students who attend the same institution.

They're sending the Data URIs in a single JSON file, so it gives the same benefit (fewer HTTP requests) as normal CSS sprites. When you just combine multiple images into one (as you do for normal CSS sprites) you lose the information on the size/location of each sprite. An array of Data URIs keeps the images separate, so you don't need to put size/location information into CSS/Javascript/HTML.
Yeah that one's a complete pain in the ass, it makes debugging much harder in mutation loops as you always get the wrong value displayed in the console and then smash your head in the desk as a test which should be hit is not.

I should probably clarify this on the website: the full HTML (including potentially the information under the blackout) is sent to the server so it can be re-rendered. As soon as the screenshot is taken all the HTML content is deleted. Also the third party screen shot service doesn't cache anything.

I'll create a privacy policy page and put a more detailed description in that ASAP.

I just searched for "find friends" at Google and got a Facebook ad (among others). Personally, I'd expect Google to have confidence in Google+ and take whatever ad money Facebook wanted to throw their way. I'm sure they reserve the right to block all kinds of ads (including those from competitors). I just think what they actually do is more important than what they decide to keep in their back pocket.

I almost never view HTML emails, and if I do, I load pictures even more rarely.
I think the issue is that the images are different sizes, so putting size/location into CSS would require generating both CSS and a Sprite Sheet for each request.

With Data URIs, they can convert to Base64 ahead of time, and then just concatenate them into a JSON request as needed. This potentially saves them an HTTP request per page load because it means the CSS can be static. The decoding overhead is on the client, which in most cases should offer better user perceived performance than an extra HTTP request for a dynamically generated stylesheet, so it's just a matter of whether it's outweighed by the increase in file size.
You seem like a reasonable person, so I think you just missed the key point of the article: the security theater does not increase security.

I think that's what the issue is here. For people who have been part of a community for a long time it is painful to see this migration away from the core values you once thought the community stood for. In my opinion, "the desires of the masses changed" is just another way of saying that the community got hijacked by a wave of new users who didn't value what the entrenched users valued. This is, I think at least in a way, similar to a show jumping the shark.

The big objections to CueCat, as I remember them, were that people would never install the hardware (and if they tried they'd need tech support), and that dragging adverts over to the desktop computer would be too much hassle.

QR code readers are a software (not hardware) install, and they install onto your phone (not PC), which is quite naturally close at hand when your reading off paper.

I'm not saying QR codes will proceed to establish themselves long-term. I am saying that if they don't, that will tell us more about the potential ecosystem for this sort of thing than CueCat's failure did, simply because major usability frictions inherent to the earlier technology are now out of the equation.
