You're not making much sense. If all filenames that make it to the filesystem have passed through this layer, then this layer is effectively part of the filesystem. And since you say it shouldn't be part of the filesystem, then this must not be what you're trying to say.

If only filenames that are shown to/input by the human go through this layer, then you're fucked. You open the door to having all sorts of nasty filenames that the human cannot distinguish between, or that the human cannot even type. This is not good.

And I really don't get your point about new codepoints. Unicode is not going to introduce new composed codepoints. The set of composed codepoints that exist now is the same as the set of composed codepoints that will exist in 5 years.

It really seems like you're arguing for massive extra complexity that introduces all sorts of really bad edge cases simply so you can say "my filesystem preserves filenames", without actually getting any benefit of that because normal interaction is going to be normalizing those filenames anyway.
Hi -- thanks for the questions. We want more docs online, but haven't done a full write up yet. In short, we don't have an SLA, but we know enterprise will want that so we're working on it.

Someone else responded to some of your questions. Here is some more color: Only employees can view the data. Authenticated admins can view their own data (but not password hashes yet -- we want to use MFA for those requests to export). Passwords are never stored. We use the industry standard BCrypt (salted hash). We're using DynamoDB for storage. Our primary location is N. Virginia. We use MFA on AWS to secure everything (http://aws.amazon.com/mfa/). We backup several times a day and store backups in different regions on similarly secured S3 (uses the same MFA). We have tested the backup and migrated to another data center entirely (AWS Oregon). We are also 100% https, using hsts, and all of our cookies are HTTP Only and set to secure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Secure_and_HttpOnly). I think this answers most of your questions. Happy to answer any followups as well.
Great to have nanex here. I am very interested in hearing why you (and surprising number of other vendors) support windows, but not unix. I don't mean that in an accusatory sense, I'm genuinely curious if there are that many people who run automated trading models on a windows machine.

Regarding the topic on hand. When e-trade sells their order flow, aren't they obligated to provide 'best execution?' You are speaking of rebate for liquidity, correct? If NITE and BATS are both quoting the same price, then e-trade has the choice of sending to either, but if NITE has better price, they e-trade has no choice but to route the order to NITE, correct?

Does anyone actually even worry about how much voice calls cost any more, to anywhere in the world? This, my friends, is progress.

As someone who works in telecom and VoIP, and deals with the financial and regulatory aspects of a lot of jurisdictions that continue to be locked down by PTT monopolies, I think this is a silly question. :-) It's only domestic long distance that has really crashed.

My high school exploits mostly revolved around bypassing the school district's proxy servers, since they blocked pretty much everything I wanted to do, including legitimate stuff. I did this via tunnels of various sorts (but predominantly SSH) out to my home machine. Oddly enough, they didn't do anything to stop us changing the proxy settings in the browsers, they just broke outgoing HTTP(S) with firewall rules. No problem, I just sent the traffic to a box running Squid, reached via my home cable modem.
Well, since they have no need to build actual, practical applications with this framework, they need to find ways to spread that 11 million dollars of funding around.
Yeah, but how much was the coverage compared to, say, the Lunar Landing? How many movies were made about it, books written about it, conspiracy theories created about it, etc.

Well they weren't in the position to fight either. From Jobs biography, he wanted to, but he knew he couldn't survive long enough for the big payoff against Microsoft

“If we kept up our lawsuits, a few years from now we could win a billion-dollar patent suit. You know it, and I know it. But Apple’s not going to survive that long if we’re at war. I know that. So let’s figure out how to settle this right away. All I need is a commitment that Microsoft will keep developing for the Mac and an investment by Microsoft in Apple so it has a stake in our success." —Jobs quote from the bio quoted from the Forbes article about the situation

It would be fundamentalism if I was close-minded about it. I am not. If there are any alternative scientific theories that are supported by as much evidence as the theory of evolution is, I would love to hear about them.
This panorama mosaic was made of 130 images of 144 by 144 pixels each. Selected full frames from this panorama, which are 1,200 by 1,200 pixels each, are expected to be transmitted to Earth later.

Despite the 2mp sensor limitation, this project is already yielding some fine imagery. I just hope people don't complain about it being a bit samey after a while.

Reminds me of my high school days, though I don't recall the software being named Fortress. I'm thinking it was something else, but same idea. Eventually the teachers gave a small group of us formal access to disable it as they realized we weren't out to be malicious, only wanting to make full use of the computers.
Pretty cool. I finally saw a practical use of filepicker.io!
How do you propose Israel deal with a group whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel?

Perhaps McGuinness is reformed (you did say former member of the IRA army council). Does he continue to call for the destruction of Great Britain? If not, you can negotiate with that. Israel has long negotiated with Palestinian factions that endorse a two-state solution, such as Fatah. Mandela accomplished the destruction of apartheid, and it was only by De Klerk's agreement to the end of apartheid that he and Mandela could deal with each other. With Hamas, only the destruction of Israel will suffice. What exactly is there to deal with?

The retirement community aspect has shifted somewhat; downtown is now younger and a bit more vibrant with all the condos that have gone up (and continue to be built). $300k will get you a tiny condo - $500k will get you something you actually like. Houses within walking distance of downtown (north park, which isn't the best neighborhood, but isn't the worst either) go for around $600k. Most young families are buying in Langford or further out where money goes further than that.

Victoria is definitely doing more tech-wise that Campbell River or Courtenay, in that there are more tech companies, more startups, and more tech jobs. As with anywhere outside of a major hub, you're going to have to do a lot of leg work to find those jobs - and to find ones that pay well.
Time at the original SCO shouldn't be a stain on any resume.

Maybe there should be an asterisk placed on any new company that buys another company and takes their name. I can think of a few examples: Caldera buys SCO, SBC buying AT&T, Rackable Systems buying SGI.

Really though, out of those, only the SCO buyout was really a toxic change.

What I am confused about in this whole thing is because you are developing these patches and fixes and additions using the gpl code doesn't that mean that your patches cannot be released under the public domain as per the gpl because of how your code was made.

I'm thinking of this in the same way that wordpress themes/plugins have to be gpl if they use wordpress functions and such.

Wouldn't your patch have to be completely separate from textmates code to be considered eligible for anything other than being licensed as gpl?

"just about every payment gateway supports storing customers' info to charge at a later time."

"No, you simply send the card details to the payment gateway which vaults them. You get back a token to reference to make the actual charges in the future. You don't have to do an authorization up front. Virtually every payment gateway has such a feature. There's no need to implement storage on your own and take on the compliance burdens."

Neither Authorize.net nor MES do. (Two of the largest in the US, that I've been using for the past few years.) I only know of a few specialized players that offer such functionality.
It will be awesome when Spotify (or others) starts signing up bands as a "record label" itself, similar to Netflix produced shows. (Maybe they already do this?)

Maybe that will attract more bands to directly do business with them.

The difference is that your application server doesn't render HTML; there is no view that produces HTML and sends it as the HTTP response. It's just flat HTML, served up by a generic web server.

This means, among other things, you don't need server-side URL routing or templates. (You need routing for the REST layer, but that can usually be dynamically generated.)

It's just a much stricter separation: the client deals with view logic and HTML and all that, the server deals with pure business logic behind defined interfaces and data formats.
Not to mention, college is one of the easiest ways for a person to meet other smart people. Not everyone can afford to be in the Bay Area. A smart student can get a full-tuition (and often more!) scholarship at a solid state university with a little bit of effort.

Join a few interesting clubs, hang around the dining halls, and pretty soon you can find other hackers, or even just awesome people to talk to.

If we're truly going to be investing in teams rather than just investing in ideas, I would place at least some additional value to people who met and worked together in college. It's an experience that's hard to replicate in most places in the US, and seems to allow for strong teams to pop up.

Maybe it's just me, but can I make a request to others who are interested in the NASA Curiosity rover? Can we please stop linking to blog-o-spam and link to the real sites, from NASA[1]? The sources are clearly provided, but the blog doesn't bother to link to the actual, full-resolution picture page[2], which provides full-resolution JPG or TIFF and additional information, in any way. I'm as interested in the mission as any other self-respecting hacker, but I'm tired of having to click through every time to get to the actual site. Considering the actual site contains real details and real pictures, from the horses mouth, as it were, it seems like we should all be making an effort to link to NASA whenever possible.

[1] - http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/images/?ImageID=4372

[2] - http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16029

Edit: if the blog, in question, has real value to add to what NASA is supplying then, by all means, link to it. But for cases like this where the link doesn't really provide anything additional and leaves out important links like those to the NASA Photojournal page, it'd be better (IMHO) to link directly to the NASA page.
Some feedback:

When I'm signing in/up on a site that uses DailyCred, it should clearly say that it is using DailyCred.

I'm assuming that if I have an account with DailyCred, I can use the same account with other sites that use DailyCred.

I come from a SaaS background and agree with everything you've said. We do have a roadmap that we believe will overcome this challenge however. In the interest of launching early and often, we decided our MVP was to focus on being a white-labeled OAuth provider. But we do want a way for people to tip their toe in the water quickly and easily.

Any idea what the record company takes per stream?
Huh? Both of them do. I've been using Authnet's vault for almost 8 years. I've also integrated with 8 other gateways that offer payment info vaulting. It's a standard feature for any competitive gateway at this point.

http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/merchan...

I'm surprised you've been using these gateways for years and didn't know about these features. CIM is prominently advertised on the first page you see every time you log in to the gateway.
Cool idea! I recently built out a fun side project to scrape local music listings and display youtube videos for each artist (so if you want to go out to live music but don't know any of the bands playing you can quickly listen to music samples):

A big problem though is when there are no youtube videos for artists. Your app makes me realize that tapping into the SoundCloud API might be a good addition, though. Any caveats I should be aware of?
I might have wrote a confusing comment accidentally. The don't use black pretty much comes into play in realism and other art with how people perceive the color black.

It is more realistic to represent shadows and blacks with dark colors as that is what they are but we rarely see black.

Because Chinese painting is rather stylized in is specific way black is a major factor, the same would go for things like comics and comic books and other such things.
I do want schools to teach physics at a high level. As long as they'll get bogged down in minutia (as was my experience, and from what I've seen it's still the case) I'd rather they teach programming. Better they do Python functions than ballistics calculations. It's highly likely my kids will exit high school without having heard about relativity or quantum mechanics, except from me or info elsewhere.
They could have started with the name. The service they were providing was really all about matching people together to lend books to one another. They didn't actually do any lending. But the name LendInk could definitely be interpreted to mean that they, in fact, lent ink.

It's a small thing, and may not have mattered, but names carry a lot of power.
There's probably a lot of complicated ways of doing this, but to keep it simple you could probably just downscale the image, convert to black and white, and have an array which maps lightness ranges to ascii characters
It's astonishing to me that they lasted that long and transmitted data back, considering the operating temperatures and pressures.
Yes, the mixed mode editing, tabs and the great snippets were killer features for me to switch from 10 years emacs to TM1.
Interesting take. But as a user, you are making me do an extra step because ultimately, we all want to know how much total ? I dont care if you charge 0.0000001 per user. I want to know whats the "grand total" that my wallet has to come up with.
A guy at FARK took the publically released "self-portrait" of Curiosity and "stitched" it together to correct it. I am not sure what he did, but it looks hugely better.

Seems like a well-done service, but I would think that user management is far too strategic for most businesses to hand off to a third party.

My impression is that most people use OAuth-type authentication schemes not because they are worried about the complexities of user management, but rather that they want to gain access to the resources that those enable. In the case of Facebook and Twitter, authenticating with them provides access to new distribution channels, which is really the entire reason they are interesting in the first place.
I was really looking forward to the next release, and I'm really happy for them. But it's taken years for them to do cloud sync... and the feature I was waiting for was teams. I'm personally disappointed in how incredibly long it takes them to roll out any feature.

I like Things, it's great... but until it's collaborative, it doesn't work (for me).
