Suppose there are multiple variables that came from a closure. Is it absolutely critical to redeclare each of the variables as local variable? Other than some extreme scenarios (heavy loops and such), I would argue this destroys the style to the extent of being unfaithful to the original intent of closures.
Pros and Cons of Cloud Computing Storage
I might be waving hands here, but I got impression that actual components that do raw processing in GPU are not that complex. Complex part (and which produces the performance) is the pipeline feeding data into those units. GPUs are also programmable chips so even publishing driver that shows how graphic stack on GPU side is set up could potentially reveal whole architecture of that chip.

It is more to demonstrate how FB can enable real life interaction with friends, family and acquaintances. If you ignore the "world domination" plans by FB for a minute, it is a really useful platform to stay in touch with both old and new pals, and sometimes have meaningful conversation with your social network. As a marketing campaign, this story telling technique is quite effective.

The headline and the linked article really seem to be setting the wrong tone for this. Metro (the store) and Microsoft are friends. Metro sells microsoft stuff, the two parties make each other a ton of money. Metro says "hey guys, can you call your stuff something else" and microsoft says "sure, no problem buddy". This is how the world should work.

Let's accept (for the sake of argument) that open source is better than closed source. Then it seems like that would imply running proprietary games on an open-source OS would be better than running proprietary games on a proprietary OS.

I'm in a similar situation - comfortable full time job - though I've been developing my side projects pretty well for about a year and they bring in a nice side income at this point. Basically, I follow the rule of 3 - set 3 goals per week, per month and per year. I use Sundays to plan my week - I take about 30 minutes to decide what 3 things I want to achieve in the week. Usually, given I don't get a lot of time to code in the evening, I set small goals - for example: create a custom table view cell, refactor a piece of code, sketch out an algorithm to do x. Then I check in at the end of the week to see how I'm doing.

Given family and work commitments, as well as seeing friends occasionally, careful planning is really necessary. Try out a few methods and see what works for you.

One extremely useful method that I almost never see in tutorials is

>>> logging.exception("an exception happened here and will be printed")

This will print out the message and then the full formatted error traceback. In many of my old projects I built a whole string formatting mess that would print out and format exceptions and just recently discovered that logging.exception() does that all for you.

I think the more pressing issue for Australians will be the costs and implications of the currently deflating housing bubble... Similarly in Canada. The US student debt bubble is just another "asset" bubble that's primed to burst.
If you've worked in the industry (I'm assuming not at SpaceX), I can see how you'd assume that SpaceX would be similar. It isn't.

It really feels like a startup here; everything moves incredibly quickly, major advances in launch technology are being engineered and tested all the time at a fairly breakneck pace, and the whole show is run by some pretty brilliant minds (a good mix of younger engineers and veterans from NASA and the private auto and aerospace industries). Regardless of how closely reality ends up aligning with Elon's goals, the progress made here is pretty far from fantastic.

Better graphics are great, but it's hard to believe that nVidia or Valve will release open source software that can be installed/tested/bugrepported through a package manager.

This is a big lose for stability and usability.

While I certainly don't think college debt is quite indentured servitude (you certainly can leave work while still in debt), it's worth noting that US bankruptcy laws are specifically not generous with student loan debt. It's very rare to have it forgiven. Worse, if the loans have a cosigner, the debt can continue to harass them, and they'll typically be a family member.

Of course, it's not going to follow for generations, so you're right about the situation being substantially better than indentured servitude. But the metaphor isn't too far off the mark if its context is toned down a bit.

And by the "revolution" I meant, that this may be beginning of serious user migration from Windows to Linux. Of course, there is Ubuntu, Linux for human beeings, some people do use it, but it's still "some", small number, that you do not take under consideration when planning/developing a game.

I would add 3 (three!) things which either are not covered in the article or (worse) are mis-handled.

1. `exc_info`. The truth is that `logging.exception(message)` is roughly equivalent to `logging.error(message, exc_info=True)`. Now it also expresses intent more clearly so it is a fine method, but what if you want to log an exception at DEBUG level (because it's not an error and you have some sort of fallback)?

logging.debug(message, exc_info=True)

will do that for you (note: it should only used from within an `except` clause)

2. Do not perform string formatting calls in your logging call, let the library do it, just provide the parameters. Instead of TFA's

logging.info("added %s and %s to get %s" % (x, y, x+y))

write

logging.info("added %s and %s to get %s", x, y, x+y)

it's slightly less verbose, and it lets `logging` not to the formatting at all if it does not need to

3. Last, but not least, if you're trying to log expensive-to-fetch information, use `Logger.isEnabledFor(level)` e.g.

if logger.isEnabledFor(logging.DEBUG):
logger.debug("Something: %s", super_expensive_call())

that avoids `super_expensive_call()` if the current logging configuration would not lead to `debug` messages being broadcast for the logger.
Interesting... I have ~/.cache, ~/.local and ~/.config and all 3 of them have quite a lot of subdirs and dotfiles inside.

What's frustrating to me -- as someone who's getting closer and closer to publicly launching a shared hosting service -- is that this problem should be solved already: we have twice-daily backups for our websites, going back up to a year. It's all automated, and customers can access the backups directly. If your site's been hacked, you can log in to the backup server, view the changes for your site's directory, and download the most recent good copy.

For most sites that store their templates as regular files and their contents in a database, this is plenty good enough. For sites that store their content as regular files too, it only takes a few extra minutes to separate the good stuff from the bad stuff.

This is super easy to implement. Every web host should be doing it.
Another thing to do is the webserver should not have any write access to the files it serves.

The files must be created by a different account. For certain setups this can be problematic, but it's a good idea for most.
What would be the point? If you got hacked once, after you restore the files you'll just get hacked again.

As a reporting tool it could be interesting though.

It's been attempted before, but that kind of thing is really hard to legislate effectively. At what point is something tangentially related? True, gun control and abortion bills should probably be kept separate, but what about closing the gun show loophole and also requiring conceal carry permits to have interviews? They're both about guns, but not the same issue relating to guns. It isn't really feasible, and even if it were, both parties like to pull the amend a bill to hell trick.

To say that it's the same is to say that any debt is indentured servitude.

Prisons making you borrow money would be indentured servitude. College loans is taking a loan.

There could be a case made for credit cards being indentured servitude, due to their unreasonably high interest rate and the fact that they entrap you by just issuing them. Far more so than college loans.
While I don't feel Facebook is doomed, this article really lacks meaningful content.

Hacker makes service, makes finding Olympic tickets easier, LOCOG shut it down
Sounds like a pie in the sky theory, like the one that floated around a few years ago that Facebook only needs to introduce search, and it could kill Google.
I would urge some caution with regards to backups. If there easily accesable from the site then if your site is hacked then they are easily accesable to the hacker. It is a common overlooked area and can also be a weakness that I have seen in many hosted/colo sites were they have all the servers isolated and yet still linked via some all singing all dancing backup server.
I would have preferred if it did not rely on environment variables since almost nobody sets them which means there will be untested code in applications implementing the specification.

Actually, all things considered, we're still pretty much "the little guy" of aerospace (even if social media trends would convince one otherwise).

It is fun to imagine SpaceX as some megalith of the private aerospace industry, poised to usurp NASA and colonise the galaxy in the name of the free market (which is almost the narrative you'd get reading all the press), but this kind of thinking has led to some really unfortunate misconceptions in the past (such as that of Gene Cernan, who did later apologise to Elon once he learned more about the company). The reality is that in some ways we're still basically a mid-level startup (as startuppy as a defence contractor can be, in any case), and without the successes of COTS 1 (December 2010) and COTS 2 (May 2012), most people here would never have heard of SpaceX.

We're definitely not in competition with or on track to replace NASA (they're our biggest customer!), and we're not even the most prominent name in government space launch at present (media/popularity aside). ULA, in fact, is the current "evil empire" of the public launch market (United Launch Alliance; Lockheed/Boeing joint venture founded in 2006). Aside from ULA, there are a bunch of small companies with similar visions (e.g. Orbital), as well as some pretty fierce competition both in the US and abroad gearing up to seriously attack commercial launch / space exploration (e.g. China). Keep in mind that this isn't necessarily solely related to pressure from SpaceX, but also the natural result of a recovery in the global launch market as a whole since the crash in the 90's.

Don't get me wrong: SpaceX is 100% on track to kick everyone else's ass and get us to Mars next decade. However, it's pretty far from a given, and there is still a ton of resistance against new entrants (entrenched deals and interests, competing lobbyists, FUD/propaganda floating around Washington, etc.).

Right now is way too early for you to start worrying about what could potentially happen in a hypothetical SpaceX-dominated launch / space travel market (especially if it's for the sake of being contrarian). Let's at least approach that point in time before seriously discussing it's potential merits and drawbacks.

Cool site and touching stories. The story on the front page reminds me of the movie Memento!

We probably want to mention that there is a limit to how much we can borrow.

"The 2012 limits (indexed annually) are $89 706 for most courses and $112 134 for students undertaking a medicine, dentistry or veterinary science course" http://www.deewr.gov.au/HigherEducation/Programs/StudentSupp...

..which is hardly enough for many degrees in many universities in the US, where it can cost over $40k a year.

Of course, this is Australia and even if a student didn't make it to HECS-HELP where the government subsidies around two thirds of the cost of a degree, or for international students where government funding and lending isn't available, a degree can't cost more than $25k a year.
One question - have they relesed enough to enable somebody to compile a full OS that you can run or is that down the line?

I'll agree with you on that, but I think a good point was raised. As an inherently deflationary currency, particularly once the maximum number of bitcoins are created, wouldn't the natural thing for people believe it will eventually be incredibly valuable be to hoard them? I'm not saying that a deflationary currency cannot ever work, but with an inflationary currency, there is greater worth in spending one's money on goods or investments that will accrue worth at a greater rate than the inflation, no?

"So if you actually believe in bitcoins, why would you ever spend one? If you don't believe in bitcoins, why would you ever accept one?"

Because you have to, and there is no other realistic or better choice.

One thing missing in this analysis is the contribution of more stingy state funding to the decrease in affordability of public universities. For example, the University of California is actually cheaper per-student now to operate than it was in 1990, by about 25%: if you take the total budget, divide by total students, and adjust both numbers for inflation, the result now considerably lower. And that increased overall efficiency comes even despite an increase in administrators.

So if the per-student budget is lower, why are per-student fees much higher, rather than 25% lower? Well, the state portion of the funding has declined even faster: from $16,500 per student to somewhere in the $8-9k range in the upcoming budget (inflation-adjusted). So tuition has gone up to compensate.

The situation differs at different universities, but in the UC system it's close to being a dollar-for-dollar replacement of declining state funding by increased tuition.
