I made a website with some of the same goals in mind that takes it quite a bit further than this. That being said, I can't even come close to pretending its less than 56 lines of code.

Check out: http://plunker.no.de

Some neat features:

* Live collaboration using 'streams'

* Plunks run as first-class web citizens letting AJAX and company work out of the box

* Syntax hilighting using ajax.org's amazing ace editor

* jsHint

* Live compilation/rendering of coffee-script/markdown and I forget what else

The full source of the running app is at: https://github.com/ggoodman/stsh

Also a ground-up rewrite on http://plnkr.co has its code on: https://github.com/filearts/plunker

Finland has initial plans to move from levies specific to certain media/storage products to an annual fee. The fee would be collected as a part of TV licensing fee which is also moving from a specific "per tv-owning household" license to cover all citizens, regardless of their TV ownership or lack of it. So, in effect, the copyright institutions effectively have a way to tax people.

It will only amount to less than a handful of euros per year and generally it's more fair than the irrationally random levies (buying an external hard drive implies levy, buying an external harddrive case and a separate hard drive doesn't) but there are two problems.

First, the "tax" will undoubtedly increase every year. The copyright mafia has demonstrated their intention to adjust the levies accordingly to match an annual 10-15 million euros of income. So, now the "tax" might only be three euros. Later it will only be four euros, come on! Then only a fiver, come on, that doesn't hurt anyone! Then only ten euros, it won't make a difference... and so on.

Secondly, having paid the increasing fee (see first point) it's mostly undefined what you will get in return. By paying this fee—that is involuntarily taxed from your income—I think the common attitude will soon turn into "I've paid for it already, so I can at least decide to pirate some movies to get something back in return."

Neither the levies nor the annual fee aren't compensation for illegal copying, just private copying. It's just that the general public already perceives that private copying doesn't need to be compensated. For example, people don't generally take well the idea that after buying a cd they would need to pay again to make copy of it for their car player. Thus, a majority of people will inevitably attribute this forced copyright tax to an implied, unofficial license to pirate.

The legislation probably takes ten years to catch up with that. But I think it might be a good way. Personally, I would probably pay 20-30 euros annually to legally download content from PirateBay. The distribution of the collected money could be based on the popularity rank of Finnish artists and movies on PirateBay, instead of the arbitrary radio playing lists that they use currently.

The power of peer-to-peer would be worth paying for. The MAFIAA guys can handle the creation of the content, let the internet people handle the distribution. That way each party can do what they're good at.
Of course it is, but if you're trying to be at least moderately efficient you'll npc your loot and buy equipment on the AH.

Ive always found the logic of caution when taking a seed round from a high-profile VC to be a bit backward. I understand the logic of a negative connotation if they don't do a follow-on round, but that is both years away, and a problem that you can't control now.

You can take the investment from the high-profile VC now and use that investment to further your current funding round. You may not even make it to the next round of funding, or may not need it, so why shoot yourself in the foot now. Shoot yourself later!

I'm halfway through inferno on my DH and haven't met a missile immune mob yet. I think some of them have damage reduction for missiles, but I still dps them down easily. The hard mobs are the ones with invulnerable minions/fast.

They tried and failed before Android too.

These companies don't have what it takes to produce something as polished as Android. And even if they throw money at it and manage to do it somehow, they still do not have what it takes to build a developer community around it or a popular app store, like Google or Apple did.

Is anybody anywhere using the Samsung/Kies App Store for instance? It comes bundled on Galaxy S phones, I guess there are some people using it by mistake.

This effort can be easily underestimated, but even Microsoft is having problems doing it.
Let's go with the author's supposition that the only human sport is the physical one in which we compete with every other species on the planet. While humans can be excellent long-distance runners, there are at least three species which are faster than humans even over long distances.

http://www.popularmechanics.com/outdoors/sports/physics/anim... claims that camels are able to run a marathon in 1 hour 2 minutes, and http://www.athletic-animals.com/ claims "On a mail run in Western Australian goldfields camels regularly covered 144km in 10 hours." I am having difficulty confirming that. The fastest camel in the "Great Australian Camel Race" sustained 7kph over the 6 legs of the 3,236km race and female camels "can run 8km (5 miles) the longest track distance, in 12 and a half minutes - a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph)" so 14.4kph over 10 hours seems feasible.

The Popular Mechanics link also says the Pronghorn Antelope "can sustain 30 mph for about an hour." I have been able to find (from the journal Nature) "pronghorn antelope are distance runners rather than sprinters, and can run 11 km in 10 min" and from elsewhere "During the fall migration, the animals move southward 30 miles a day for three or four straight days", but nothing about longer distances or maximum distance per day.

The Popular Mechanics article ends saying an "Ostrich would finish a marathon in about 45 minutes." The Wikipedia entry on Ostrich claims "can maintain a steady speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), which makes the Ostrich the world's fastest two-legged animal." http://netvet.wustl.edu/species/birds/ostrich.txt confirms with "Ostriches can cover between 16-to-23 feet per stride and maintain speeds between 30 and 50 miles per hour for 30 minutes."

15 years ago I'd have agreed with you. However, there comes a time in your life when playing with your tools becomes less fun and you want to just get down and use them.

I've gotten to the boring stage of my life when I am happy with Ubuntu LTS, because it means I can opt-out of a week of less productivity every six months when a new version comes out and breaks my workflow by forcing me to work around some "clever new idea" that won't last another couple of years.

I'm sure Linus is even busier than I am, so I'm pleasantly surprised that he takes the time to experiment with and evaluate new distros and environments as much as he does. That's probably not what he wants to spend his time doing though, and not where he's most productive.
Get Resolution & Dimensions of PDF Images, Improved PDF Concatenation
The latest version of Aspose.Pdf for .NET (7.0.0) has been released. This release introduces some great new features including getting the Resolution and Dimensions of images inside PDF document, without extracting them. Furthermore, we also have introduced two new methods in PdfContentEditor class which provide the capability to move/change the position of Stamp object inside the PDF document. In this release, we have specifically focused on Memory Management while converting PDF to Image format, performance has been greatly improved during PDF concatenation, support for handling complex PDF files is also provided in this new release. This version offers a great support for converting HTML files into PDF format, Form filling and working with Watermark objects is also improved. In short, it’s one of the stable and robust Aspose.Pdf for .NET versions that we have ever introduced.
Asparagus is wonderful for many reasons, but one of them is the range of textures and tastes different cooking methods can impart.

Grilling kicks off charring on the outer skin (not Maillard reactions to my knowledge - no amino acids - but something similar), and gives a wonderful gradient of textures between the skin and the soft, liquid core.

Microwaving (yes, really - NYT had an article about microwaving vegetables a couple of years ago, pointing out it's an excellent way to cook most veg) gives crisp, even spears with no toughness but plenty of crunch and a superb retention of pure flavour.

Frying with garlic is probably the best way to introduce other flavours that will complement the main spear, IMO, and also leans toward the softer texture of grilling.

Boiling has its place too - I avoided it for many years before becoming curious as to why blanching is still used in most top-end restaurants. It's very fast, it produces a softer spear than steam or microwave, if you time a cold water bath right it'll give you a brilliantly green stalk, and it gives nearly as clear a taste as microwaving. Plus, it's a good way to introduce the tiniest bit of salt - which acts as a flavour enhancer.
Those aren't pure TCP sockets, though, since the server needs to support WS handshaking. You can't, e.g. write an IRC client that connects directly to IRC servers.

The UI is kind of clunky.
I use fish (http://fishshell.com/), and it's amazing. However, they're missing the most important feature from their front page: Syntax highlighting!

Valid executables are colored green, as you type.
Invalid commands are red, as you type.
Valid files are underlined, as you type.

Like the carpenter who can feels the feedback of the grain of the wood through the handle of his plane can adjust his technique as he planes, fish shell lets me 'feel' the programs and files I'm working with through the shell.

And that makes me happy.

To the best of my knowledge, MSG isn't actually found in most sources of umami, but it's an excellent source of that flavour.

Well-known umami-tasting foods include red meat, cheese and other fermented products, and tomatoes. None of these contain MSG directly (tomatoes get their umami from glutamic acid, according to umamiinfo.com). However, MSG can be used to add more umami flavour, which acts as a flavour enhancer.

Nope! Why would I do that? What good comes of it? Moral high-ground? Fuck that, I'd prefer to watch the show.

I think this is what goes through most people's heads. When it's a choice between benefiting nobody and retaining moral high-ground and benefiting nobody and watching the show, they choose the latter, because they don't see any real rational reason not to.

Now, how about pirating the show, then buying the DVD when it comes out? Gets trickier, doesn't it...
That's a question I hear often, or another form of it: "How do you get people to do things that nobody wants to do?" I usually answer this with two questions:

1. If everyone deeply cares about the culture and longevity of the company (which is a prerequisite), and nobody wants to do it, does it really need to get done? The answer is often no. But if the answer is yes…

2. How do you turn that into a celebrated task where everyone wants to do it?

One example of this at GitHub is support. Developers hate doing support. But we have decided that it is absolutely vital to our company to both provide good support and to have developers involved in it so we are constantly getting feedback about what is working and what is not.

So we created the "King of Developers", which is a position that is held by a developer for one week at a time, in which that developer's primary responsibility is support. Along with that comes a pimped out desk at our HQ in San Francisco and tons of street cred. We even have a ridiculous internal website to go along with it (http://dribbble.com/shots/554836-GitHub-King-of-Developers). There are currently 9 developers signed up waiting to be the King.
> a lost opportunity is in fact lost value.

I know this is a popular justification for curtailing liberties, but surely you can see that this makes no actual sense.
I understand what you're getting at, but that's not the case in this question, since one of the four answers are stated almost word for word in the text. (caution point 4)

The rest of the alternatives are "plausible guesses" which you might think are reasonable if you don't remember the point above. So what they're REALLY testing is if you read the text carefully enough to remember that line or not.

Actually having knowledge of microscopes are probably a bad thing on this particular question since you're likely to skip over the boring warning part, like I did when I quickly read the question just now.
The theory isn't about the brain itself, but about the enjoyment cycle of Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. The hypothesis is clearly stated in his post: it's the graphs he drew for the brain activity of Diablo 2 and 3. He is predicting a very specific reward-frustration cycle for each game.

No one said science had to be useful.

This is not entirely correct. While several Uniques could be considered Best In Slot, a good magical (especially true pre 1.10 path with Cruel weapons) and more commonly a good rare would be the best choice for a given build. Rare (or Crafted) Gloves, Amulets, Belts, Boots and Tiaras could spawn with extremely good properties, often surpassing Unique items.
Found this article quite amusing. I'm not sure why so many people are getting turned off by it.
It's not called that yet: "Its working name is fishfish, but I hope eventually it will just be fish!"

The ambition is quite reasonable as work on the fish shell itself has petered out, there was a recent dead cat bounce after a long fallow period, but it seems to be back to stasis there.
Yes, exactly. I regularly use them for Google Maps for example, which incidentally has an option right there on the interface now (I used to shorten via bit.ly). Why? Because it is easier to send to someone when I need to send them driving directions rather than some obscure 1000 character long URL. I can also slip that URL into a conversation without breaking up my flow of text. Also much easier when someone opens up their email on their phone or I need to SMS it to someone.

I agree that if it was from someone I did not know then I would be more reluctant to click the link. You shouldn't be clicking on links in spam anyways...

You can see what the actual URL of a bit.ly link is by adding a + to the end of the URL, e.g. https://bitly.com/A4zgFf+

Assume you can do something similar with the other services.
