For those of you who feel clear-headed after fasting for a day or two: you might have a delayed food allergy (google "IgG food intolerance"). The most common such allergies are to gluten (not just coeliac sufferers are sensitive to gluten) and dairy products. I believe these delayed-onset allergies are fairly common in western societies, and are due to a "leaky gut", or permeable intestinal lining, that results in an immune system response when those foods get absorbed. Because IgG allergies can manifest themselves up to three days after you eat the offending food, some people may never figure out the cause of their fatigue or foggy-headedness. IgG allergies might be worth looking into if you have those symptoms.

I don't know if I understood your question correctly. If you use Redis (or whatever backend) you don't need to sign the cookie with itsdangerous (or whatever module). You just generate a SID and stick it into a cookie: http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/75/
I think voice would be a better method of navigation in the kitchen. I don't want to touch my tablet at all when cooking, and I'd love to keep my hands free to do other things. I'd rather say "pause" or "continue" or "go back a step" than try swiping when I've got things going.

Chef hangout is pretty much what you described. It's a live video lesson using Google Hangout. I haven't done it but hear good things.

Also I think a lot of what you want is just being taught the basics. Many of those you can pick up just from a video or in some of the simpler cases even a text description. Your oil (preferably canola if you're cooking with it, olive has too low of a smoke point and is better suited for other uses) looks a certain way (sorta shimmery) when it's ready. Once you know that it's pretty much the same for every recipe.

Some a chef would have to be present for. I don't think you can tell by sight when the alcohol has evaporated when cooking with wine, you just have to smell. You can't tell by sight when meat is done or a bean you're blanching is crisp-tender, you have to touch it or bite it.

For that reason I don't think online instruction will ever totally negate offline the way it can in many disciplines. But it definitely can do a lot better than it is.

Looks pretty cool. Biggest feedback is to lower barrier of entry by having a step before the 14-day free trial. Maybe you put together a free package that users can get to and play with without signing in. If they want to save their progress then they have to sign in, which starts the 14-day free trial.

Right now the website just gives me the "this looks like a commitment" feeling, which I'd work to lessen since cooking is one of those things where people randomly get on a wild hare and it lasts a few hours to a few days; you have to hook them during that time or their interest wanes and you don't see them again for a few months/years.
RubyMotion's updated very often (at least weekly) and supported the first iOS6 beta within a day of its release. That expedience could change in the future, but I don't see it being something to worry about.

ReiserFS on Linux was somewhat unusual in that it had a 5 second timer used to flush all of the dirty VFS blocks to disk. If I recall correctly, EXT2 (the previous popular filesystem) just flushed everything as soon as possible.

The first time I installed a box with ReiserFS, I recall being alarmed by my box "ticking" every 5 seconds.

So all ARM processors that Apple uses have the real hardware floating point and LuaJit (which is a very cool engineering feat) which is supposed to speed up the execution of the Lua scripts still uses the "soft-only" calls. How much that slows down LuaJit? I guess the "soft calls" can be redirected to the pure hardware instructions? How big is the speed penalty vs. using the hardware directly?

Fair enough, I can see how it matters on low memory systems. The article says it's even worse than just stack memory, too, as the live stack frames screw up your dead object detection for up to 25% extra memory overhead.

My thoughts were:

1) As we enter the massively multicore era, there will be much bigger fish to fry than a little memory overhead. Clock speeds have topped out while transistor counts are still growing exponentially. Exponential means soon application programmers will be tasked with keeping 100s, then 1000s of cores busy. It's gonna be a giant challenge for PL guys, systems guys, and app guys to make that happen. If an improved concurrency model can get us there, then 25% memory overhead one way or the other will be relatively insignificant.

2) The object liveness issue is an implementation detail of one particular VM. There's nothing but CPU cost preventing VM writers from being a little more clever and marking objects unreachable if they are only referenced by dead local vars in otherwise live stack frames. I don't know enough about it to know whether the CPU cost would be prohibitive, but the issue seems more nuanced than just "threads => deep stacks => +25% mem".
It's part of the tradeoff of being investment-funded. Investors offer you money based on an estimate of the future value of your company. When you take the money, you now have to get the company to at least that value for them to be able to make money on their investment by selling their stake. If you can't make that happen, the investors will be very unhappy with you, possibly up to the point of using their ownership stake (or joining with other dissatisfied stakeholders) to have you tossed out and replaced with a "better" manager in order to "save the company."

In other words, "large and profitable" is enough if you're organically funded, but if you're investment-backed you have to not just be profitable, but at least as profitable as your investors predicted you would be.

In Facebook's case, those predictions could be quite large. On the pre-IPO end of things, Goldman Sachs' 2011 investment in FB, for instance, was premised on a $50 billion valuation (http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/01/02/goldman-invests-in-fa...) of the company. Depending on whose numbers you believe for the total number of FB shares outstanding (see http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-shares-outstanding-2...), at $20/share their current total value is somewhere between ~$40 billion and ~$55 billion. The high end of that estimate is north of Goldman's valuation, but the stock won't have to fall much farther for Goldman to get nervous.

Similarly, when the company goes public, now you have "the markets" to deal with as investors as well. Just like VCs, public investors buy into a stock at a certain level because they believe that level represents a value less than the company will eventually be worth. And also like VCs, if your management makes that bet fail, they can and will organize to remove you, or at least make your life difficult with an activist board or other oversight mechanism. When Facebook opened for public trading, the market estimated its value at around $104 billion (http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/facebook-raises-16-bi...) If you bought in at that price, your investment today would only be worth a little more than half of what you paid for it. That doesn't make for happy investors.

Investors want to see a return on their investment, and they prefer to see it today rather than tomorrow. Corporate managers who want to stay corporate managers do everything they can to deliver it, and sooner rather than later. Hence the focus on short-term metrics like quarterly profits over long-term sustainability.
This post is obviously quite biased towards join.app.net, which I'm not entirely against but some of the arguments are very weak.

> The current price of $50/year for users and $100/year for developers is fair,

Not when you have no details over what the service is going to offer, what control you're going to have, and how the price may change in the future. Essentially, people have no idea what they're buying. You're asking for a $50 dollar a donation and offering WAY less information than any kickstarter campaign that I've seen.

My thought process when looking at join.app.net

1. Who the fuck is Dalton Caldwell?

2. Why can't they just use kickstarter?

3. Who do they think is going to pay $50 a year for something that Facebook and Google give away for free?

4. Why is their campaign page so saccharine?

5. Why go from having no control to having implicit control (because you're paying for it), when clearly the best solution would be to have full control (and pay for it)?

5a. I can get hosting for $60 a year, $10 more than join.app.net is going to cost me. I'm sure if it caught on, I could get a 'join.app' instance hosted for much less than that.

So here's the solution - write a spec for a protocol that lives on top of HTTP. Polish the spec. Publish the spec. Write to the spec, be first to market, and sell 'join.app' instances at $12/year. Profit wildly.

We all know an ad supported Internet cannot thrive, but free-to-fifty is not a jump that 99.99% of users are going to be willing to make.
Of course there's an implied promise. If platform operators openly stated "anything you develop can and will be used against you - by us" then no one in their right minds would develop on those platforms.

As you note, the trust involved is invariably abused, but always within limits - vaguely defined as they may be. What Dalton Caldwell is observing is that these parameters appear to be shifting.

That's FB's prerogative, and I don't object to their exercising it. But there were two ways to handle the change. The first was to buy Dalton out, shut down the project, but provide jobs for his team. The second was to do what they did with Instagram, preserving the product and the team, and letting things evolve from there.

It seems like going the latter route would actually encourage people who really care about products to build on FB's platform. The former route also provides incentives, but of a much lower grade, and only appealing to people who don't really care about the products they develop, and see the compensated shut-down / aqui-hire as their highest goal.
Then you don't have an inkling on the history of water rights laws in the US. Start with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_right . It sounds like you want to structure this purely monetarily, so think of it this way. The water already had downstream uses, and diverting the water to fill ponds affects those users, and likely negatively. Using a first-come, first-serve accounting method leads to increased risk. Suppose Las Vegas decided to let Lake Mead fill up, which ensures more water and power available for Vegas. Then there's less water available for Southern California, and a farming disaster.

The south-western states settled this specific problem via the Colorado River Compact (though there are problems as well with the compact). However, do you really expect everyone upstream and everyone downstream to work out an agreement on how the water will be used? That's extremely expensive.

Instead, there's (in this case, long-settled) law on what people can do with the water. As hudibras pointed out, this law has been around long enough that its effect has already been factored into the cost of the land, taxes, etc.

What legal principle do you want in place instead of what's currently there?
For shame. At least Chicago is not lacking for good eats.
I can't wrap my head around learning to cook online. Maybe it's because I started cooking around age 10, but it's something that responds best to actual doing as opposed to simulation.

Get a simple recipe and cook something. Learn from the experience. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Two of the best books I have that "explain" how cooking works (albeit in a very minimal sense) are David(?) Rosengarten's Dean & Deluca Cookbook and Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Cake Bible (now over 20 years old and very, very well thumbed and sticky :-) I'd recommend them to anyone.
I thought you were specifically mentioning Ottawa, and not Ontario as a whole.

Sure, it doesn't prevent them from doing the wrong thing in that situation, but it does require that they have given the situation enough attention to write code for it, which is a serious improvement over not handling it at all. As I understand it, they play defense in depth with regard to code quality.

I doubt RubyMotion is going to gain any ground until they have a free development/evaluation version. $200 up-front for a license is too spendy for many people just curious to try something out. If there was a free dev/eval version, I'm sure many more licenses of RubyMotion would be sold.
Oh absolutely. It's like that old chestnut about plans being useless but planning being essential.

And one can even find productive use for an aggregate SWAG-to-reality ratio, tracked over time. Individually, that ratio won't give you any better an indication on where a given SWAG is likely to land, but in the aggregate you can use the ratio to put something like error-bars on the project as a whole.

The point about cheating is this: what makes cheating possible? It's because there is a gap between answers written on a piece of paper, and what is inside someone's head. This is true of all kinds of tests, but it is more true of answers that are identical for every student. If the names on the tests were somehow mixed, this would be undetectable by graders, where it would be immediately apparent for a written exam.

The significance of that has nothing to do with preventing cheating. It just means that the gap between right answers and real knowledge is greater when the answers are all identical. A concrete example: in my college physics classes, I studied with a friend who solved problems by memorizing which type of problem required which formulas. I figured out which formula to use by visualizing the problem, which is a much more efficient way of doing it and leads to a better general understanding of physics.

These important differences are undetectable just by looking at whether we both got the right answers on a test. You can account for this indirectly, by limiting the amount of time, so that my study partner would never be able to finish the whole test by using his method. But the information he gets about the incorrectness of his answers does nothing to help him fix his inefficient method. He did very well on the homework, the issue was only revealed at the midterm.

Physics education would be improved if taught people how to visualize problems, which means making it more qualitative and less quantitative.
Looks like you had your haterade this morning.
I've long maintained that time estimates should not be a programmer's task, at least in most shops. That's one of the few things that a "manager" should do and do well: insist on realistic and as-precise-as-possible requirements, collect metrics over time to make rational estimates, and shield the team from eternal corporate stupidity.
Does the food taste good? If so, then it's right.
As I said, it helps make sure that doesn't happen.

Anyway, I don't think they'll blow themselves up big, like Dark Knight Capital did. First, this specific kind of thing doesn't happen often (where one firm just messed up so much that it makes world news). Second, it's clear from Jane Street's videos that they're pretty serious about quality. If I were going to bet on which market maker will screw up, it would be somebody else.

Not terribly far off base. We want to build something that helps people actually create and influence things on the web, rather than just re/blog/share and discuss them. It's giving people a really simple way to participate with stuff they find funny/cool/interesting. Later, we would love to power people being able to play and interact with all types of content from all sorts of different places, but for now we are trying to get the core interactions right.
I would not describe this as "the memory management issues in OS X". It should be obvious to anyone how much of an oversimplification that is.
Where did all of that come from? It's fantasy as far as I can tell.

I have never heard "Page-outs refer to a file-backed page being committed to disk."

I think you are confusing it with a file cache or buffer cache commit interval.

A page out is when a page of memory is written to disk ("paged out") so you can use more live memory than you have physical RAM. Fun fact: the kernel is smart enough to not page out the page in code.

Acquiring a services company also buys you their customer portfolio. And in the case of Matasano, it's really a pretty impressive one.
I don't think it has that much to do with the size of the company though, but more with the difference between a consulting company and a product company.

In a consulting company, work is time-driven: every hour of work is intended to be billed to a customer. This makes the company very focused on time which makes it easier to dedicate X% of that time to individual's projects. In product companies, work is typically much more result-driven, which makes it more difficult to correctly attribute each worked hour of time to any specific activity. As a consequence, it is much more difficult to do these "X% projects" in part because the X is tricky to correctly measure and attribute.
FB new low (19.82)
I think luajit can generate jit code suitable for the current cpu/arch it's running under, no matter what the ABI is. ABI matter is for the API itself, and for the FFI plumbings - e.g. how to call a "C" function that takes and/or returns double/float.

The bigger problem with iOS (and other mobile devices) is that due to sandboxing, JIT is not allowed. Even then though, without JIT, luajit has a very fast interpretter (roughly x3-x4 faster than reference lua, and x2-x3 faster than other commercial lua offerings), but then FFI is somewhat slower (interpretter mode).
We like the name too! We picked it after giving up on naming the company (we had chosen "Aperture Security" only to find a week later that it had already been taken) and consulting a "list of plant names" for cool-sounding plants.

We hired a (very smart) Argentine national friend of ours who immediately made us aware of the connotation. We were somewhat unhappy for about 500 milliseconds, and then immediately very very happy.
I don't mean to badmouth their product, it looks interesting and I'd love to be able to pay-and-go as soon as I want instead of waiting for a waiter to come around.

But at the same time, these things will be laying around for customers to play with them, unattended, for long periods of time. The security implications are important.
Hypothetical: Let say the local water company has a flat rate of $30 a month as long as you do not use more then 50 liters of water and then a reasonable rate for every liter after that.

However there is an additional fee if you want to use that water to water you lawn, it costs an extra $30 a month to have the water directed to the lawn.

However when industrious home owners decides to water their lawn by hand from sink water and avoid the extra $30 dollars a month the water company cuts their service.

Do you have a problem with the water company segmenting their market in this fashion?
