A game with 5x30 sec byo-yomi could take quite a bit longer than the 25 minutes free time, so that's not a good comparison.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byoyomi

After the 25 is up, each player can make as many moves in 30 seconds as they'd like, the 5 means that they can overstep that bound 5 times (by 30 second increments).
Exactly!

I think might even be bad for children NOT to see naked people. It could indeed have a bad effect on them, I think, e.g. cause self-confidence issues when they grow up, because they wouldn't know what things are going to be like, if it's normal etc. Moreover, it allows for creation of totally unrealistic, photoshopped beauty ideals, because children/teens see (nearly) naked people mostly in some kind of highly altered adverts. Seeing the real thing brings them down to earth...

I think the concept of a 'shit job' basically is embedded in our human culture.

Work was synonymous with slavery even until recently. People who build beautiful things like Taj Mahal, Pyramids etc were all slaves who worked at the commands of kings. And most of them did it because they had no other option or nothing else to do.

A few who realized what they are worth and escaped that became philosophers and scholars.

Getting the point? 501 vs non-501, Its almost like slaves Vs philosophers.

Organized 9-5 labor is always going to be inglorious even if you are the best algorithmist in the whole world, because deep down inside it has a strong taste of slavery to it. They are parallels to the slaves who build the Colosseum of Rome. Even if you were the slave who could build 10 walls in a day you are still 'A nobody'. No one will even remember you.

And individual contributors working on their own crazy hours are always going to be glorious people, because deep down inside they are parallels to Socrates and Plato.

Assuming /etc/resolv.conf is set up with "search <localdomain>" before any nameserver entries (which it invariably is), then any DNS query will first try the localhost.

In the absence of a nameserver on the local host, then the DNS lookup will search /etc/hosts, where it will find an entry for facebook.com that resolves to 127.0.0.1 (localhost).

Now the browser knows where to find facebook.com. It requests the web server at localhost to serve the URL. If there is no webserver, the browser gets back a "connection refused". If there is a webserver, the browser gets back a 404 error.

In either case, the browser just moves on to the next request.

Since it all happens on localhost, it is blazingly fast compared to an internet lookup, and the user won't realise.

you'll probably work most efficiently while working at bigco job and focus on the core value.
It may be easier to understand if cast in software terms. Suppose you come up with a clever algorithm for some problem people consider important. For instance, suppose you've got a clever new algorithm for matching people for romance.

You set up an online dating site using your algorithm.

Now someone else comes along, uses your site, looks at the matches your site is producing, and figures out your algorithm.

He decides to set up his own dating site.

No problem so far. Your algorithm (assuming you did not patent it) is protected at most by trade secret. If he gets it by being smart enough to infer it from your site, and there was no contract that prohibits that, he is free to use it. He can design his own web site, powered on the back end by his own implementation of the algorithm, and you have no legitimate complaint.

However, instead of designing his own site, he just copies the design of your site. The whole site is basically a clone of yours. He even advertises his site by referring to yours by name, and proclaiming their equivalence.

That's the problem here. Teller figured out a clever trick. That corresponds to the algorithm. Then he came up with a theatrical performance to present an illusion built upon the trick. That's like the web site.

The other guy figured out the trick. He's then free to come up with an original theatrical performance built around some original illusion using that trick. What he appears to have done, though, is simply take Teller's theatrical performance.
There's no need to publicly identify him.

edit: Sorry, you're right. I somehow missed that in the article. I fully agree with you that he deserves to be supported, but regardless of his profession. If his actions get linked to his employer somehow, it could have a negative outcome on his career.
> "He suggested that teachers design what interactions take place..."

This is exactly my point. Those who work with software/tech/etc often trivialize the relationship between software and people who hold completely different societal roles. No matter how intuitive you make an application, no matter how effective you seem to think your application enhances learning, there will always be a vast number of people (in this case, teachers) who have not the time, nor the desire, to "design" a set of "interactions" for their student.

Are there effective teaching aids available for tablets? Yes. Does that translate to a need for technology-guided learning in more aspects of education? Absolutely not.

The OP talks about "a complete reset on education with technology at its core." I stand by my point; this is a dangerous idea. And you don't have to believe me, most any teacher will tell you this is a bad idea. Teacher flexibility and intuition is (usually) right; software isn't going to magically determine a child's academic strengths and weaknesses.

Education is not some cookie-cutter problem you can fix with a well-designed app.

Working memory is convenient for mental dexterity.

There are plenty of non-US based cloud providers who will be happy to take your money.

Where are you based?
Not to knock on your service/business-plan, but I can't imagine how focusing on a particular stack gives you any advantage. To me, the bare PaaS offering includes not only the bits that run the app (nodejs workers in your case) but a datastore (minimum one choice each from RDBMs or kv-stores), a backend cache, and a front-end cache or load-balancer. At this point, I imagine your PaaS infrastructure is already plenty 'polyglot', and it seems to me that adding additional tool support wouldn't complicate the backend more. Of course, I do grant that manpower can be a limiting factor. (I do also grant that I may be a naive armchair theorist spouting hot air)

I'm interested to hear what you feel your business advantage is. Is it branding (e.g., someone wanting to host a nodejs project is more likely to head your way), or does the focus really give you a lead in the arms race against the 'polyglot'-er services.

We Don't Know Deployment: A 4-Step Remedy
Author here. Thanks for reading. I concede that its possible to manage Bitmaps without issue. But I'd argue there are tons of resources (and SO questions) because the system in place is such a mess. Recycling bitmaps manually is a non-functional(and not elegant) solution for many use cases and really should be unnecessary in a environment featuring a GC. (though i understand why the implementation is the way it is).

I feel like it is a limitation of the framework. The problem exists because of limitations of the OS and the solutions for the problems (tiered memory-disk caches, custom remote image widgets) are "challenging" because of the limits. The problem itself (build the cache or remote widget) isn't conceptually or technically hard, its only hard because of the tools at our disposal.

This isn't the first time I've seen this sentiment about Go from (I presume) a programmer, and I have always found it puzzling. It seems like the opposite of the Seneca quote, "Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own." Loving Go because it is hard for a computer seems like a scornful reason to love it compared to loving it because it is Go. Like loving your wife because she is beautiful, it is intrinsically temporary. There are better places to search for mystical appreciation for human cognition, specifically places that lack definitions like starting, ending and success.

What I find attractive about Go is that it emphasizes subtle influences over outright attacks. Everything is vague, slowly coming into focus. You feel more like you're trying to secretly drive a Ouija board than trying to eliminate the opponent. I seldom feel like, this is the move that ruined my game, whereas with chess I can almost always immediately identify the move that costs me the game.

Then again, I am terrible at Go and I hardly ever play, but I have a sense, possibly illegitimate, that getting better at Go would make my whole life better, whereas getting better at chess would simply make me a better conniver, and I'm already pretty good.
Then nit must be my ISP, because for other people around my city who has the same provider Facebook looks down. I am not asking this kind of question easily.
I flew in from New York last night and saw the Shuttle sitting on top of its 747 at the end of the taxiway. Awe inspiring and very sad for me to see. The entire plane literally jumped out of their seats to look out the windows on the side of the plane with the view (while the flight attendants hopelessly told us not to unbuckle).

But then I read about the pending Dragon missions to the ISS and I suddenly feel more hopeful than ever before and even the sniff of an asteroid mining company in the news today has me ecstatic. I feel like a boy again, watching shuttle launches on TV and excited about the future of space.

It's a great feeling to have after so many years of seeing it all get pissed away.

I think Tyson is wrong here in a way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_F3pw5F_Pc, he needs to be spending his energies promoting commercial space development and just move on from the NASA model.

It'll be better, 30 or 40 years from now, to look back at NASA like we look back on ARPANet today -- as an interesting high risk R&D project that lead to transformative technologies that revolutionized humanity.
Is this a binary scale of either/or?

I am on different sides of the spectrum at different times.
I don't mind my programming work but I wouldn't say I was "passionate" about it. 90% of my work is not solving anything technically very interesting. More like fixing up user error , solving minor bugs and making incremental improvements to things.

If I want to do some extra programming outside of work I would prefer to learn some OpenGL or some new paradigm like functional programming than to just do more of the same. Of course plenty of the time once I am finished with working I would prefer to just get on and do something else.
It's less a difference of Western and Eastern and more of a difference between Clausewitz and Sun Tzu. Clausewitz was all about maneuvering the opposing army into a decisive battle (capture the king), and although you can use clever tactics, it is ultimately a war of attrition favoring the strong (such as industrialized nation-states). Sun Tzu was about using ambiguity so that the weaker opponent has a chance of prevailing over a stronger opponent (asymmetric warfare, or "cheating"). There have been Western military commanders that have used a distinctively Sun Tzu flavor.

Even if you played chess with a multi-pronged attack, you're still ultimately gunning for the king. Your objective is absolute, and each side knows this. Your objectives within the course of a Go game is more fluid and ambiguous.
I don't really understand the Space Shuttle nostalgia. As a kid growing up it was such a disappointment. It looked bad ass. It looked like it could take off and land under it's own power. It looked independent and manoeuvrable. In short it looked like a spaceship. But in reality it needed giant external boosters to get anywhere. It had to have most of it's shielding replaced and be delicately positioned vertically before every launch. When it came into land it was an unimpressive glide.

The rockets and modules of past made so much more sense to me, they got people onto the moon. They got rovers onto mars and took photos of distant moons.

I'm kind of glad the shuttle is gone. It was an expensive and disappointing distraction.

I often wonder what NASA would look like today if it had gone in a different direction.
The article already did. I think it's useful to support the guy, as someone who agrees with him, by cheering this as the actions of a real person that should be a source of pride, and not pretending that this is some embarrassment that should be hidden. We shape the culture, expectations and the power individuals feel to speak and to challenge authority with how we react to stories like this. I deliberately applaud @CrimsonJohn for his actions. I don't think they were wrong or shameful, or should be seen as such, and I won't pretend that they were.

That's not correct. IP has been viewed as a property right for approximately 200 years.

It goes back to classical libertarian theories of property, and how a person has a natural right to the fruits of his labor. Well, that's in the US, where our legal philosophy was strongly influenced by Locke. In Europe, their intellectual property philosophy was more shaped by Hegel, and the idea that the creations of your mind are an extension of your personality, and so for someone to use your creations without permission would be a violation of your personalty.

Those who prefer to analyze from an economic viewpoint rather than a philosophical viewpoint also have long considered IP a form of property--because that's the whole point of IP economically in a free market system. For a free market to work with a good, that good needs to have certain attributes. Goods that are non-rivalrous and non-excludible, like intellectual goods, do not work with a free market. In order to try to make the free market work to determine the allocation of resources to production of intellectual goods, we use the law to artificially give intellectual goods those aspects of real property that free markets need.
