It's not about being unfamiliar with the CLI, it's that Windows isn't like OSX/Linux in that you can just store your keys in a .ssh folder and be done with it (at least not if you don't use cygwin/msys)

The method I chose in Windows was to use pageant (part of Putty) to load the keys. Not sure if I missed this option but you can't autoload keys so when you restart pageant you have to readd the keys (which is not terrible bad, just annoying).

Haven't tried Github For Windows yet but if it fixes the hassle of using ssh keys then I'll probably use it as my main git client for Windows.
I had a TA at school who was blind and was excellent at helping CS students debug and fix their class projects. He helped me a number of times and was generally able to find bugs very quickly.

While I don't know the name of the program of he used, my vague recollection is that it read aloud the contents of whatever line he had the cursor on, a good deal faster than a human would speak it (I actually found the text to be read too quickly for me to follow by listening - I needed to read it myself).

I actually found this article about him on the Internet:

You do know that some pirate ships had slaves on board? And that most women on board typical Carribean pirate ships were either pleasure slaves or serving "wenches" or prisoners, or some combination thereof. Only in very rare cases were women treated "equally" like men or were captains. Very exotic and exceptional cases.

I don't think boys or girls should aspire to be pirates. In reality, pirates engage in illegal and often violent or evil activities that harm others via violence and theft.
Here are the basic mechanics: http://paulgraham.com/equity.html

EDIT: The only other thing I can think of is that you need to make sure you're equally protected against dilution (like what happened to Eduardo Saverin), I don't really know how this usually works.

whitehouse.gov petitions have proven to be an absolutely useless way to effect change or even to raise awareness of issues. In the best case scenario a "successful" petition is met with nothing more than a form letter.

If you want to stand up and be heard contact your senators and your congressional reps and send a separate letter to the whitehouse as well. Don't waste your time with these useless virtual petitions.
Nope. But I think it's a part of ClickOnce, the technology they use to bundle up an app into a setup.exe that fetches the latest source from a web server.

> but the cops can always find something if they really want to.

Forensic analyst here :)

Genuinely the vast majority of cops don't. And indeed IMO sending this sort of thing off to contractors is the necessary sort of separation to make sure that dirty cops can't incriminate you.

So on one hand I defend my profession; which I have always found to be supremely ethical and approach cases from the perspective of innocence.

And on the other hand I entirely agree; this move removes an important separation of evidence retrieval that means it could well be abused.

The key to success on social media is to have a product, service or person that people want to connect with. No amount of marketing or messaging will change that.

I don't foresee B2B businesses doing that well on social media, particularly in such a dull area. I don't think FB is to blame for this.

Part of my responsibilities are to manage social media for my company. We don't do ads on Facebook or Twitter, and the likes and followers keep coming in. We have consumer facing products. My strategy certainly amplifies our success on social media, but I couldn't do much without something strong to build around.

He would have more success with Google AdWords and a strong Web presence in general. We run Google AdWords, and I'm pleased with the results. We've never strongly considered ads on FB or Twitter.

And we can also infer that he was unhealthy, in larger part, due to spending too much time gaming.

And in this case that thing was gaming. It's a cautionary tale, not an indictment on all gaming.

Well, not really. Lots of people get detained.

I have to admit I was pretty drunk once and woke up in a police cell. Would that count?

Many people are genuinely detained but later found not to have been involved.

What if you were arrested for killing someone whilst drunk driving, is your phone of relevance?

At the moment "everytime someone is in a station" doesn't mean your phone is of interest. I hope that won't change in the future, but there is no clarification of this in the article.

Causal relationship between those petitions and Obama speaking in favor of gay marriage is highly doubtful. Obama knew where the cards lie on this issue long ago, and was waiting for an expedient moment to revert to the position he held before he run for President. Now he decided such moment has arrived. I do not think it has anything to do with any online petitions.
I think that tries to draw too bright a line between theory and experiment.

If you view a theory as human understanding of reality, the only reason an experiment would be fundamentally flawed (as opposed to forgetting to carry the 2) is if the understanding, and thus theory, is wrong or at least incomplete.
Psychological addiction is never healthy for the mind, no matter what the stimulus is.

> And we can also infer that he was unhealthy, in larger part, due to spending too much time gaming.

Very much, emphatically, not. I know someone into World of Warcraft who spends ~40 hours a week playing, and just ran Bay 2 Breakers. Gaming and being unhealthy are very definitely unrelated, and any attempt to paint them as being related is FUD.

If someone is out of shape because they "spend too much time hacking", are you going to blame hacker culture next? Gaming is an easy target. Admit it.
Checkout in SVN does not mean the same as it does in git. SVN Checkout is more like Git Clone. Checkout in git means change to a different branch. You "checkout a branch" in git.

I think it is better for TortoiseGit to match the semantics of git rather than match the semantics of TortoiseSVN. It causes some confusion coming from SVN for sure, but once you start using git, you should learn its dialect. It would be worse if TortoiseGit did not match git's vocabulary.
> Thirdly, perhaps you should take up your concerns regarding the gender of your hair stylists with the management of GreatClips.

No thanks. I'm realistic and don't actually care. It was clearly an illustrative argument and you should have known that. Also, I personally accept the often messy and non-philosophically-perfectly-mathematically-ideal nature of reality when it comes to gender and sexuality. Unlike a lot of people when it comes to these kinds of topics on the Internet. For example, I have observed and accept these following truths: That men and women are different. Girls and boys are different. Homosexual men are different from heterosexual men. Lesbian women are different than straight women. Well, in each case there are similarities and differences. But they are not identical or "equal" in the mathematical sense. Intellectual theories and recent social ideals are nice but biology is strong. And that's all perfectly ok.

Someone recently tried to convince me, a frequent climber, that the health effects of getting exercise from climbing were outweighed by the risks involved. I did a bunch of research on the subject, and it is very clear that the benefits of exercise massively outweigh the risks of even a dangerous activity like climbing.

It's hard to find statistics for indoor climbing, but for outdoor climbing there is a death for every 320,000 outings. If you go on two outings a week, your chance of dying is around 0.03% per year [1].

Getting the proper amount of exercise (compared to being sedentary), though, can decrease the total risk of year-over-year mortality by a factor of up to 4.5 times [2]. The overall risk of death for e.g. a middle-aged man is something like 0.2% [3], so any significant reduction to this factor compares very favorably with the risk of death from climbing.

So, basically, if your options are either a) be sedentary or b) get adequate exercise by rock climbing, it is better for your health to choose b. This comparison looks even better if you're doing only gym climbing (which is much safer than outdoor climbing).

Hah! I like that idea :) It would have to be pretty convincing because you have to boot the device up to acquire it with the Aceso (as phones are such proprietary tech) so it would need to pass the "boots up and looks like a mobile device".

In theory, I suppose, it would be possible to fry the thing when connected. It's just a standard PC packaged in a special case (with touch screen) and you connect the phone via USB.
In theory, no. In practice, yes. Until it goes to court, and then they'll push it for as long as they can. See also DNA retention; human body parts; etc etc.
When people die from rock climbing, it's because they were careless or because they were pushing the envelope in some way. Rock climbing gyms are very safe - you're unlikely to die there.

Anyway, 6 hours a week at the climbing wall is hardly an addiction. That's more like a hobby.
We are working on it. The WebRTC API is still a bit unstable though I believe.
Very much, emphatically, yes:

> Work offered to pay for a gym membership. Friends coaxed him to exercise and eat better.

Instead he was gaming.

> If someone is out of shape because they "spend too much time hacking", are you going to blame hacker culture next?

Yes, in part. BTW, I'm not "blaming" gaming.
I can't think of an easy proof but it is clear that such a sequence of estimators, {V_n}, has the median as a fixed point in the following sense.

Assume V_(n-1) = median(X) for the data stream X_n. Now we have

E[V_n | V_(n-1)] = V_(n-1) + E[signum(V_(n-1) - X_n)]

but by the definition of the median, the right hand side expectation is 0, so the random process is fixed in expectation.

Proving it'll converge to that value would be harder, though. It'll probably depend on the data being much larger than the step size (which is 1).
At what point is it wrong to engineer a product to be addictive?

Tobacco companies are evil for doing this. But when it comes to things like fast food, gambling and games, I hear things like "everyone knows those are bad for you" so you should "be responsible"

Like all things, not everyone submits to urges. But I bet most gamers don't know there are sophisticated teams fine-tuning the gaming experience to maximize time played (or whichever metric). Some people are outmatched by those teams.

I had been thinking about this earlier today when I saw this quote from Bing Gordon:
"World of Warcraft has 0% churn from levels 35-40" [1]. Those guys at Blizzard are good.

I'm sorry if this has been asked,

but since this is using your framework, xpaulbettsx, is the source for this going to be available? I always love seeing open source functional applications that use a certain framework or toolkit I'm considering. Makes the divide between reading code/documentation and the end product just seem that whole much closer.
You can ask anyone who has been programming for 40 years or so this same question. Before we had visual editors [but after we stopped using punch-cards], we had line editors, which worked under fundamentally the same constraints as programming blind has: only a little bit of content at a time, streamed, selected before "display", and requiring a "replay" after any edits to see if the edits were correct. A description of a working day for a grizzled ed(1) veteran would probably have a lot in common with an optimal blind-programming experience.
Well in reality they are. Phones are fucking hard to break into. PIN codes are pretty much critical for this sort of analysis :)
Here's a thought, oh, I don't know: it was his fault, not gaming's. Radical concept, personal accountability. It's almost like the choices we make in life shape who we are, or something else absolutely crazy like that.
It's worth noting that those deaths aren't simply evenly distributed either. Of the friends I've known that have had potentially life threatening climbing injuries (fortunately nobody's died yet), they were either doing "expedition" level stuff or were simply stupid (free soloing). There are of course exceptions. Pay attention to what you're doing and don't be an idiot and 95% of climbing injuries will pass you by.
Interesting. This post has inspired me to actually improve the usability of my sites. Anyone have any good guides? Strangers for Dinner and edgeyo are pretty much text-driven, but what about CSS layout etc? Will screenreaders parse those?
Democracy itself is supposed to be a method of experimenting with governance. Try making a law; if it doesn't work, repeal it and try another, or else tweak it until it is right. The federal system is the same way; try one set of laws in California, another in Texas, and see which set works out better.

I do think we could go further along these lines. Wiki and Github style "let the people edit the laws before voting on them" may not be the right answer, but our current system is definitely not ideal. Finding a way to tighten the feedback loop will be tough, especially when a constitutional set of ground rules seems necessary.

Other commenters are right though, no matter how we frame it, society is not science. It's just that we feel benefits could be had by applying something like the scientific method to the laws which govern us.

Though the page might not be effective as a landing page, only 12 click throughs is still underwhelming for a promoted tweet. Now Notwerk has 12,000 new followers. So now I'm curious to see what would happen if the landing page was reworked and then they put out a few well timed normal tweets. I'd guess there'd be just about the same results but if it got more click throughs then maybe the lesson is that social media ads just take a little more time to work and do so in not so obvious ways. But it's just so hard to tell.

You responded before I edited to be clear that I'm not blaming gaming. It was his choice but that doesn't change the fact that spending his time gaming instead of getting some physical activity likely had something to do with a 32-year-old dying of a heart attack.

That's a very life stylist point of view. Who's to say that exercising, producing useful things to society, or social interaction is in ANY way "better" than spending your days playing video games?

I for one am an avid gamer and I would rather game than quite a large number of other activities that people find rewarding or fulfilling, but I don't go write on some blog saying that they're wasting their life away jogging down the street or writing Dragonlance novels.

Everyone should keep their negative opinions about gaming to themselves, much less people die playing video games than pretty much every other activity on the planet.
How Can Leap's New Motion Controller Top Kinect PCs?
Time might be scarce and you cannot specialise in both. However the separations between different subjects do not exist because of differences in the brain. We categorise subjects in order to aid in efficient dissemination of information. There are social reasons for the soft boundaries which formed in the past, but these are now reinforced by education and the workplace.

Likewise, skills are generally not mutually exclusive: the more mental models you have, the smarter you think. For example, there are some areas of UX which are relevant to API design. In fact, there are similarities between almost everything in life.

With No third party cookies enabled, the only thing the hosts of the other content should get is IP address. It's possible that they are storing that and cross-referencing against the ip logs otherwise but that would lead to a lot more embarrassing situations considering how much more likely it is that 2 different people are behind the same NAT than logged in to the same account, and it would be explicitly going out of their way to track people who clearly were trying to opt out.
toemetoch, who is dead, said:

"In a normal distribution the probability of a value higher or lower than mean is 50%. So if you find mean, the average of your +1/-1 noise is zero -> if you're on mean you'll remain there.

If you're not on mean you have a (50 + error)% chance of moving towards mean and (50 - error)% chance of moving away from mean on the next random value -> the trend is towards mean."

"does anybody seriously wear pink cat eye glasses or carry a pink laptop?"

Comments like this will drive girls away from programming.

I dated a girl in college that was very girly. She loved shoes, shopping, makeup, and lots of stereotypical girl stuff. After getting to know her better, I found out she loved legos, video games, and was good at math and science. I convinced her to take a computer science class.

She eventually decided to be a CS major. She complained about the lack of girls in the program, but the most interesting complaints were about how the few other girls made her feel.

She was a girly girl. She wasn't accepted by all of the other girls. They would take pride in their lack of girliness and shun those who didn't.

And yes... she did carry a pink laptop.
which, if you think the problem through enough you'll have to conclude that you do need to store the time zone, unless you just don't really care about having accurate times. Read through some of the other comments and you'll realize that there's certain kinds of calculations and comparisons you just can't do without the time zone, and a historical time zone database, and a leap seconds database. Do not make the mistake of assuming that dealing with times and dates can be easy.
