So I do not see a reason why the font author should have been included in the article. The article was not about THIS logo but about logos in general. When I saw your comment I thought you might be pointing out that he was violating the license. Since he is not, I am not sure what to make of your comment.
You're correct. I saw this earlier, but apparently it's not included in Haxe core:

If you click through to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_religious_movement#Charisma... , it goes into some detail that doesn't explicitly talk about control, but if you're familiar with summaries of psychology literature, it's stated pretty baldly.

You can also think of it in terms of 1 Corinthians 13:11. Maturity, and the turning of generations, does something to an organization. Christianity began as an apocalypse cult, after all, promising hope of the afterlife for the downtrodden; it wasn't until Constantine was converted that it started to learn how to be a state religion; and not until Martin Luther and Henry VII did it learn to be just a religion. (The exile into Babylon and the dissolution of the Caliphate had similar effects on Judaism and Islam.)

In other words, they were forced to let go of their control simply because of historical circumstance. Straight through World War 2, the Vatican continued to exert a very strong influence on European nations... because the Pope was everyone's ambassador, even if he could no longer threaten excommunication with meaningful clout.

Scientology has not had these experiences. It is young and not officially descended from any known religion, so "sect" would be an incorrect term except in cases where you consider the entire whole of Judaism or Christianity a sect. It is dominated by personality cults, from the original of L. Ron Hubbard to its scheme of hooking celebrities to be spokespersons.

>he was increasingly isolated from the rest of the physics community. Because of the huge strides made by quantum theory in unraveling the secrets of atoms and molecules, the majority of physicists were working on the quantum theory, not relativity.

Nonetheless, what I said was inaccurate. Isolation does breed creativity but the fruits of it must be shared if something meaningful is to occur.

> SHA256

As it is, the size of that digest is also 14 bytes more and I don't feel happy truncating the hash. The bigger SHA2 versions are even longer. Considering that thing should go into cookies and URLs I did not feel very happy with that.

> You would indeed be better off using SHA256.

Probably. I was indeed under the impression that SHA2 is based on the same building blocks as SHA1 but I assume that is not the case. That being said: upgrading is not hard if it even comes to the point where it would be necessary.
Mentor’s Thoughts Week 19 – The Need to Dream Big
You shouldn't use urandom for crypto purposes. /dev/random is generated (on most platforms) as cryptographic strength numbers (usually from hardware), but can block if it runs out of data. /dev/urandom was created with the guarantee to never block and will use /dev/random's pool of numbers initially but can start outputting lower entropy numbers if /dev/random blocks.
It seems like there are easy improvements to search by ratings they could make. If I am browsing for a new book, I'd like to be able to search by number of reviews alone. Anything with more than 500 or so reviews is probably worth taking a look at. I also would like to filter out items with less than 'x' reviews or search by a ratio of number of reviews to the number of stars. This might hurt products trying to get off the ground, but I'd really like it as a user.

I picked up a HP LaserJet 4000 for $10 at a thrift store a few years ago. $40 for some RAM, a NIC, new toner cart, and a duplexer and I've enjoyed one hell of a great printer.

The 3rd party black toner carts have never given me issues. Is there something different about color toner? Has the fact that my printer is 15 years old allowed 3rd party toner/cart makers time to "get it right"? Or are new printers just crap in comparison to older models?

I have no idea what you mean by "suboptimal implementation of strcmp".
Sure, Occam's razor and all that. That doesn't really point out a correct explanation, just which one is more likely in the absence of other evidence, and it's not really something I'd bring into an argument with someone firmly on the other side of the fence.

I never argued that religion is true, I argued that atheism (rejecting the existence of a God) is no less unprovable, and might be a bit worse - the theists at least have personal experiences that might have made them believe - it seems less likely to have an experience that proves to one that there cannot be a deity. I'm personally agnostic.

And some people do have different senses and sensitivities than others, people aren't working from the same vantage point. Perhaps some religious people have experiences that others of us haven't had that proved to them just as concretely as seeing would to nonbelievers.
Tip to Programmers: Ruby on Rails, Why should I learn?
I got your point. But again ... it depends what you believe. For argument's sake, let's assume there's no such thing as God -- then the entire basis for every religion is fraudulent and perpetuates falsehoods resulting in the manipulation of a community of people to think, act, tithe, and multiply according to the rules of that church. If all faiths happen to be incorrect, then aren't they guilty of the same sin ... perpetuating a fictional promise and manipulating a community (whether they know they're doing it or not) in an exploitive way? Or is it less bad because there's potentially a perceived positive effect on the individuals and the community?

Look, I realize debating religion online is pretty futile, and I'm no fan of Scientology or any other religion for that matter. I do get what your saying. I also have no idea what your religious views are ... but I've had a ton of debates where people seem to be blinded by how they were brought up and can only see outward from the religious views they hold as the truth. I suppose somebody could probably make that same case for my perspective on things. Personally, I think religion is introduced way before most people have the mental capacity to comprehend what's being thrust upon them, and I wonder what the religious landscape would look like if it were the kind of thing people first-experienced later on in life.

Doesn't seem to me like it's specific to Android. Facebook implemented the same thing in Android, iOS and mobile website almost simultaneously, and many iOS apps followed suit as well, eg. Sparrow, Path, Steam.

Also, a small gripe: with the Facebook iOS app, dragging the top-left menu button with your finger actually caused the side menu to follow exactly where you finger was, following the principle of Direct Manipulation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_manipulation_interface). The Facebook app on Android and mobile web fail to do this, as with the many other apps mimiccing this UI.
A lot of money is going into building a new cubicle for everyone, but what's the economic rationale?[3]

Often, the economic rationale is simply the desire to create jobs (on the part of the government to stave on social unrest) and the desire to create profit (on the part of private enterprises that couldn't figure out how to be more innovative and so jumped on the bandwagon of the construction boom without seeing the risks).

As another comment notes, the government has realized this is a bad situation, and they're trying to put the breaks on it, but it's hard to do that and also enable a soft landing so that there's little or no social unrest. They're trying to shift from an infrastructure investment-driven economy to a consumption economy and an innovation economy, and the big debate is whether or not they have the right horses to be able to compete in that race.
The final conclusion is incorrect. I've gone into detail responding to heeton, but I now thought of a simpler way to explain it.

First, the case in which you are the only entrant is irrelevant. Your chances are already 100%... why share?

For all other cases, think about this:

-Getting one extra entry DOUBLES your chances of winning.

-Supposedly, the network effect of inviting friends offsets the above. Think about what that means. The number of people you are able to get to join through invites has to be MORE THAN HALF of the total number of final entrants (if there are 10,000 entrants already, you have to cause at least 10,000 more to join to offset the doubling above).

The author is essentially stating that by the end of the contest the majority of the entrants will have been caused by you. There is no universe in which this makes sense.
Valve's Source engine to power upcoming animated film
Sure, all religions are "weird". But most religious organizations -- generally speaking -- genuinely have their members' best interests at heart. Scientology has no such concerns.

I very much do not believe that is the case at all. I find it fairly absurd to believe it possible to accurately generalize about the members of any large organization in that manner. There are doubtless some very good people and some very bad people who are members of nearly any group, including religions.

Stop fragmenting languages, we don't need another one except if it's revolutionary.

There's some very good principles like the fact that it can compile to many languages but like CoffeeScript I just don't see the point. Want to do some c++ why not using it? Want to do some JavaScript? Then use JavaScript.

There is just too much on the table when it comes to language compilation, I mean if the compiler itself has a problem with your code? It's a bug between what you built and its runtime: what can you do about it? A client is waiting for you, you've got no time to lose contacting the compiler's developers, you're just fucked. Don't get me wrong, I like to play with these languages but that is what they are: toys.

The hard reality is that browsers only support n amount of languages and we are stuck using them.

You're not the only one. The "hacktivism" trend is not going to work out the way Internet activists want it to; instead, it's just going to associate legitimate advocacy with criminality (and, for what it's worth: advocating against a criminal conspiracy wearing the garb of a religion is a legit target for adversary).

Take it how ever far you feel comfortable. Ultimately you are in control, so maybe you say only macs or only IBMs or whatever. Or you say heres 10k, buy what you need as long as you can deliver code, or maybe you only use MBPs with Lion but they can at least pick their display set up and input devices.

Give them flexibility as much as possible while maintaining control. Don't make every dev environment an experiment though.
Your Technology Sucks
You might try searching for the term "variant cystic fibrosis" as well. There is no hard and firm definition. It is a newish diagnosis which basically recognizes that some people suffer the same issues as classical CF but to a less severe degree, kind of like Asperger's and several other forms of "autism spectrum disorder" get recognized as a milder form of the problem known as classic Kanner's Syndrome (aka severe autism).

The most common test is a sweat chloride, which basically measures the saltiness of your sweat. Historically, a result below 40 was considered normal, above 80 was CF and the range in between was an undefined grey zone which is now recognized as a milder form of CF. My son and I both tested consistently at 41. Though I have heard some different number ranges discussed on some lists, so there may be some variables I am unaware of.

I am not sure how you can get one. Mine required referral but my ex was career military and the referral was necessary so insurance would pay a civilian facility for the services. It simply isn't done just anywhere. There are several techniques, all noninvasive.

Some nonscientific "tests" or indicators: Does your skin/sweat taste saltier than average? Do you get worse aquagenic wrinkling than most people (in other words, do you prune up badly in the bath)? Do you seem more prone than average to suffer shocks from static electricity? Those are all typical for CF.

Best of luck.

Sorry but I disagree with this post completely. In fact, I hate articles like this.

A real developer who loves his project would never outsource major aspects of the project. One might outsource the design, only because its incredibly difficult to create a great UI and have the know-how to code it as well.

One might outsource the slicing of a layout to CSS/HTML or something simple like that while dealing with IMPORTANT issues such as database architecture, setting up the server, etc.

To suggest that you want to concentrate on the "business aspect" simply means that you don't want to do the hard part. By outsourcing, the article states: "I have more time and I can spend this time for marketing and blogging". ... Right. Because blogging and marketing is so very tough?

The truth is that you USED to be a developer. It sounds like you've realized this and outsourced the project to an actual developer. If that's the case then you've made a wise choice.

In any case, best of luck to you.

Edit: It sounds as though I am belittling other people's jobs on a project. Sorry, I guess to some degree I am? I agree that I am a bit foolish to say that. I don't mean to create any type of hostility in this thread. (Regardless I will keep my full comment here so this thread makes sense.)

My main point is that the author refers to himself as a DEVELOPER. Therefore it does not make sense to me to outsource his own specialty.

Fifteen million euros for machinima? Where is the money going?

I can see how Source would be a good way to make a reasonable-looking animated movie on the cheap. But with a reasonable amount of money to spend, then either:

a) You're reusing enough existing stuff (character models, physics enginey stuff, et cetera) that you can't possibly spend that much money, or

b) You're re-doing enough stuff from scratch that there doesn't seem to be much advantage to doing it in Source rather than something more conventional like Maya [or whatever they're using nowadays]
