Some slashtags are filters. Other ones are a specific type of search. DDG uses ! in a somewhat similar fashion to /; for
example, on blekko, adding /google does your search on google. Adding /python does your search on a list of 136 important Python websites. And you can volunteer to help edit the /python slashtag.

Your suggestion makes no sense.

If you don't want to use a format string, use a function that takes a regular string, like puts, instead of a vprintf variant. Why would anyone go to the trouble of escaping a format string so they can use it with a function whose sole purpose is to parse format strings? (Which you can already do, by the way, by using vprintf correctly.)
Kent Beck talks about this in episode 1 of http://pragprog.com/screencasts/v-kbtdd/test-driven-developm...

The example he works with is writing a driver for Tokyo Tyrant in java. He begins by writing a high level test of what he eventually wants to be able to do. Instead of implementing it though he comments it out and then starts to play around with potential implementation code inside the body of the test. Once he's finished playing he then gradually refactors code from the test body into the implementation until he's got everything he needs and uncomments the test.

It may well be the case that by the time you've finished exploring that you've realised the test you've written isn't very relevant. This is fine, the purpose of the writing the initial test is to guide your exploration in a productive direction. Once you have some implementation code you can always go back and reframe the test according to your new understanding.
Completely agree on this. I think many just "know" they have to patent an idea 'cause they've heard about it. But few are aware if the whole process is truly worthwhile.

Have you tried blekko? We suggest slashtags as you type, we suggest more slashtags after you've searched, and we often automatically add slashtags to your search if you didn't specify one. Most of the /blekko slashtags (the most visible) ones are build by a combination of our in-house content team, and subject-matter experts -- the /health slashtag has an outside editor who's a medical librarian at a major teaching hospital.

Great suggestions! :-)
$11680 in 1865 is $164391.37 in 2010 inflation adjusted dollars according to [1]. But when considering monthly wage of $25 (although it includes clothing and food and might have been even under "minimal wage") it was probably much more. The ratio is perhaps closer to 20:1

Overuse of antibiotics is a global problem, for sure, but once you get into thelower latitudes of the planet, infections get a hell of a lot more dangerous. more bacteria, more types, and they move fast.

"Neither Dutch politicians nor the Dutch media really give a shit about digital civil rights."

O.o

Where do you get your information about Dutch politicans and the media? When a judge ruled that XS4ALL and Ziggo should block TPB, it caused an uproar in The Hague. Ok, said uproar wasn't that bad, but most oppositional parties (D66, PvdA, GroenLinks and SP) together introduced a motion about the issue, and were very much against it. Given that the PVV approved of the motion, and recently called the blockage 'censure', I can say without a doubt that msot politicians in the Netherlands 'give a shit' about digital civil rights.

As for the media, I don't see where you got that, either. Pretty much anything that concerns digital media rights and the Netherlands gets printed in most major newspapers here.

Not that there aren't some things in politics here that I think are stupid, but digital civil rights isn't what I'd think of first.

most people with impacted, rotting, painful wisdom teeth know damn well they need to have it taken out. some just decide not to because nobody likes the dentist and they think it will just go away.
This might look nice but sadly this kind of reasoning by Dutch parlament isn't consistent at all!

- For some reason Google is allowed to act like "a postal worker who delivers a letter, looks to see what's in it, and then claims he hasn't read it."

- Judges can rule blocking of websites (like they did with the pirate bay).

- Mobile operator fees are unregulated an artificially kept way too high.

- We pay a regulatory fee for every empty CD, DVD or Tape we buy because we just might use it to put copyrighted stuff onto it.

There is no straight line of thinking when it comes to this kind of law.

http://rethinkdb.com/ just called and they disagree with you.

The thing is that architecturally nothing has really changed from 70's. And even if it did, Oracle cannot just go and tweak some "magic numbers" (what would those be?) since the idea of spinning plates at the end of a long and perilous pipeline is at the core of any contemporary DBMS. To change this you cant just assign a junior developer for a week or two to "optimize" for SSD.

It is an monumental effort requiring that you throw away and/or revisit every presumption you made in the last 30-40 years that it took to build these DBMS.

It is similar to introduction of internal combustion engine to the world of horse and carriage.

At first glance, just mount the engine on the carriage and voila! It turns out that carriage was fundamentally changed to accommodate the internal combustion engine. To the degree that besides four wheels, modern ICE powered carriage looks nothing like old horse powered carriage.

I'm not even American, and I think I can safely speak for 99% of gay Americans when I say that the grandparent comment was right in saying Ron Paul is anti-gay.

Abortion rights... well from this side of the pond we think it's nutty that anyone in your country can want abortion to be illegal, literally crazy. But whatever your view, pro-choice can argue that they're fighting for woman's rights, pro-life cannot - you can argue you're fighting for the rights of babies, meaning it's an issue not relevant to whether Ron Paul is good for women.

In the past he has somehow tried to blame those sexually harrassed in the workplace for being sexually harrassed - something that is far more a women's issue than not.

Overall he's a far-right (shockingly not the furthest right thanks to batshit teapartyers) Republican. I get that there are Americans who agree with his views, but don't try and argue that his views on these topics are universally considered correct - even in America.

You misunderstood the parent post.

Emacs doesn't come with everything built-in. But when you extend Emacs, you usually do it entirely in Emacs with Elisp. Emacs libraries rarely call external tools - they usually implement the tools inside Emacs.
"people to blame" only helps if you work for someone else. When you are the boss? more "people to blame" means more people that can cause serious problems if they can't do their job.

Having other people that can do something for you so you don't have to is a good thing. Having someone else to blame, if you work for yourself, is the downside to outsourcing, not the upside.

Outsourcing is great; but make sure you can always move to another provider if you have trouble with your current provider. Your boss might let you off the hook if a provider screws it up, but your customers won't.
C5 Not Charging Problem
Avoid amalgam - ask your dentist to do composites.

I had a fairly large composite filling in one of my molars, and it would never last more than a year because of the extreme pressures that molars are routinely subjected to. Composites are getting better, but they're still weaker than amalgam. Also, when a composite filling fails, a microscopic gap emerges between the filling and the tooth, letting bacteria seep in and cause cavities deep inside the tooth that goes undetected for a long time.

A while ago, the dentist asked me whether I'd like to try amalgam, so I said yes after doing a bit of research myself. I haven't had it long enough to see if it actually lasts longer, but the doc tells me a well-placed amalgam filling can last a lifetime.

Hit the nail on the head. A "data scientist" is just a business analyst by day, hipster by night.
That's not too hard. Having a minor or even a somewhat annoying toothache for a day won't kill you. As can be seen in the article, such infections don't develop overnight. Just wait a few days, and if you still need to use ibuprofen or what have you to make it go away, then you can be sure you need to go visit a dentist. Making it a habit to use painkillers to deal with toothache = bad.
This is a pretty cool example of how important it was to change business model (or at least be sensitive to being wrong about your initial expectation) and the uncanny serendipity of the valley.

One question, though: what kinds of factors go into the decisions behind accepting funding?

Really, to anyone -- what drives the decision to try raise that first five million vs. the next six million vs. the final ten?

This is to a good degree a n00b question because a) we can't know what it was spent on and b) I'm truthfully not that savvy behind the business decisions.

But if anyone has any insight (or insightful speculation), I'd like to hear what the differences behind these different rounds -- or even the decision to keep fundraising at all. Genuinely curious. Thanks!
Show me any reasonably priced service that has a SLA worth reading.

Nearly all retail providers have some sort of "if we have downtime, if you complain, we will refund you for the time you were down" SLA. The pennies you get don't compensate you for the time it took to complain, much less the lost business from being down. Look at all the companies advertising a 100% SLA; I mean, even 99.9% is unrealistic in most cases without some very expensive hardware or application-layer redundancy.
Truth be told, in most cases, it will 'just go away'. (Read: said tooth will fall out, and it will HURT.) Though it's better not to take these kind of chances.
Normal people put more time in making decisions involving large amounts of money. They are more likely to walk away if they can't get what they want. Letting them make minor decisions like color, pattern, etc invests them in the product so they are more likely to buy.
2012 and the Failure of Imagination
Absolutely agreed. That said, Google offered this "AdSense for Domains" and we used it. As a reward for doing so they killed our account. Unbelievable!
I'm not saying the focus is, but an accidental side effect is the "pushing up" of labour so that the bottom end of the market have no place in the capitalist hierarchy. The result of this is massive amounts of low skilled yet unemployed people who are a "tax burden" (or is this just a side effect of capitalism's relentless push to a service economy). That is basically Europe and the US summed up.

Society is polarised by automation. The gap widens every day.

I've destroyed hundreds if not thousands of manual work positions over the years by making software that replaces them. I've now got to support the uenmploymed with my tax contribution. Welcome to the flawed turd-bag that capitalism is.
When medication does not go through legit supply channels you cannot trust the product, accountability is gone. Trusting illicit pharma spammers to source legit medication is laughable.

OK then, while I don't have much experience with Java and C#, 15 seconds of googling showed me at least one broadly used and well supported, open source library for SSH/SCP for each of these languages. Undoubtedly, there are others that are not free but backed by a real company. This is aside from 'integrating' SCP in the way people 'integrate' FTP - by calling the command line version.

So, whether we define 'platform' as 'OS' or 'programming language', my point stands: name me one (actually used, not VMS) platform for which there is no SCP available.

Tips on Getting the Wedding Gifts You Really Want
There are parts of the wedding program that is much awaited by the wedding couple and one of these is the opening of gifts from your guests. Invitations are sent to your would-be-guests so they can witness your wedding celebration but this does not mean that they could not send their gifts if they cannot attend your big day.
Apparently you have a hard time reading since I posted the link to the story I am refering to along with the quote in the comment you replied to that is totally contrary to what you stated. So here we go for a second time:

"By the end of the operation in mid-2009, agents were buying Google ads for sites purportedly selling such prescription-only narcotics as oxycodone and hydrocodone. Agents also got Google's sales office in China to approve a site selling Prozac and Valium to U.S. customers without a prescription."

Google wasn't posting ads for 'heroine' alright, they were posting ads for what they thought were suppliers of opiates who were selling without prescription. Illicit pharma opiates are in the same catagory as illicit black market opiates or, heroin as its called. If you cared to actually read before responding you would know that this was all included in the article.
Websense Europe- Open positions
Of course it makes sense; when you stick a price on a new service and find out a couple of years into selling that service that the price you put on it doesn't level with the costs you are making to maintain it. Then you need to level it; moral issues aside (some say the ISPs lured clients in with low prices only to raise them after they were in), that's the way it works. But then again, just raise the price, and do not block certain ports and sell it as a 'mobile internet' subscription or charge extra for 'certain kinds' (e.g. skype, whatsapp) of data usage.

Tesla has a roadster version where they put electric motors on both sides (not just the rear, call it the Roadster 4S?) and it has a 0-60 in the 2 second area. 60-100 isn't as impressive, along with the 120mph top speed. This is due to not having a gear box and maxing out the motor's RPMs.
Just to be devil's advocate here, everything you list seems to be easy to do using any web browser (since we're talking about power users here):

>Want to know your IP address? just search "ip"

https://www.google.com/search?q=ip

--> Your public IP address is 123.456.789.>256? - Learn more

>Want lorem ipsum text, just search for that

Ok that's pretty cool.

>Want to search the python documentation

For me this is a language other than python, but I have queries in chrome/opera that search by keyword. C++ is c<space>stuff, java is j<space> stuff. As an added benefit, for any internal documentation I can have keywords going directly to internal stuff.

>Want to re-run your last search in Google

Ditto with bing b<space>, amazon a<space>, etc.

As a 'power user' my needs go way beyond what any search engine does. Web browser, scripts, etc pick up the slack.

Also, am I missing something here? Everyone keeps mentioning that DDG runs off of Bing. Do they do anything in the interim to your queries, or do you get the same results by going to bing.com? And if so, is everyone just arguing that bing's results are better than Google's now? (Could be, I dunno).

It is kinda cool that you get wolfram results, etc (wherever they pulled lorem ipsum from for example) all compiled for you instead of having to keyword everything I guess.

And that's enough rambling, sleep.

Slightly OT
Well, as an italian living in the Netherlands, allow me to disagree with 3 and have empathy about 4, since we have that in Italy as well.

As for 3, every time I go back to Italy I'm amazed at how much they pay for calling, sms-ing and navigating with their mobiles. Here with Vodafone NL I pay for 15€/month for 400min/sms + 1GB of data. My father in law pays 20€/month for 620min/sms + unlimited data.

In Italy you can forget anything similar to that. I agree that now prices are going up, but that is especially the case when you get a subsidized phone with your plan: there they'll charge you a steep premium. It's very sad but the introduction of smartphone whose price was above 400€ (iPhone, I'm looking at you, not the first but the most popular) allowed the providers to pumps the price saying: "Hey, here this 500€ phone, but let's sign a 1500€ two years contract". People began stupidly falling for these sort of things, and the result is that prices are soaring and people are outraged. In the meantime providers are happy.

At this point I would just be looking at everything as a learning experience. The sysadmin job is probably a good learning experience, but probably not for long. The other job offer didn't come back to you for three months, so maybe they aren't in much of a hurry. Perhaps you could stick around the sys admin job for a few months to learn as much as you can from that job and then make the jump. In any case, I probably wouldn't be interested in sticking with the ISP for long.
At what level of scale does Google modify their treatment? Obviously major websites serve Google ads, and couldn't risk this kind of impersonal, imperious ability to just cut you off and steal your money.
I understand where you're coming from; it can be frustrating that all doctoral work doesn't count to some interviewers as much as a canned test. At Facebook we constantly work on improving the interview quality for PhD candidates. Our recruiters do a great job at having PhDs interviewed by PhDs of the same speciality (last count we had some 120 PhD employees in engineering). My own employment interview involved three ML/NLP interviewers and one very tough systems/coding interviewer. I had to write code in two of the interviews.

In the story you give there's probably a mismanagement of expectations. The company should have clarified to you that either they need their researchers to code in addition to doing research (as is the case at Facebook), or that they only care about coding.

He should just say: many hardware manufactures use several GPL projects on there embedded devices, one of those projects is BusyBox. Since BusyBox copyright holders allow SFC to defend their copyright, the SFC is able to force this manufactures to comply with the licenses of all the GPL projects they use. Sony and other manufactures are looking to have a BusyBox alternative so that they can infringe the other GPL product licenses they use, since they know no-one enforces this licenses. Those who own GPL licenses should contact the SFC and allow them to enforce there copyrights.
