Oh wow, that would be an amazing addition to the GoCardless project. I look forward to playing their open source code, but first I need a pool table :)

Interesting reading.

Can Biped be used to model more complex games, such as Halo or Assassin's Creed, or is it targeted at 2D games like checkers or Motherload?

In [3] you mention that some researchers in the 70's started working on Datalog. Is this the same Datalog query language used in the Datomic database? 1

1 Datalog is in video #2 here: http://blog.fogus.me/2012/03/05/datomic/
That's not argument for the web. By choosing web you in fact develop for neither platform. And it shows.
Or you could skip the legal and currency risk and look someplace like Chicago, Detroit
The splitting is a quantitative rather than a qualitative process. You can observe quantum effects with 100 atom molecules the same way as with single particles, it's just they require far finer observations to detect. If no collapse occurs, the the time entangled complexes reach visible scales there's no way you could ever detect the quantum interference.

It isn't that the universe has split, it's that one section of the universe's wavefunction has split, or more exactly become a bimodal distribution. At both locations there are bunches of the wavefunction corresponding to both possible observations - but both locations are entangled since the two particles that touched this off were. That means that when you observe the two experiments you don't "split" into four, but only into two since they are already entangled and you only get entangled with this complex once. The information of "What's entangled with what" spread at strictly sub-light speeds, and the information of "Did it pass through the polarizing filter or not" also traveled at sub-light speeds.
Yea, my first encounter was in Ender's Game. :)
Well, there are a lot of Apple fans here, and a core part of the Apple aesthetic is "if it isn't perfect and doesn't have that 'wow' factor, better to leave it out".
> Maybe my confusion is that I'm not sure a which point the universe splits.

The answer to that is that the universe never really splits. It remains one big very complicated universe, with very very very messy superpositions of state in it. But different components of these superpositions lose "coherence", which gives the appearance to us of wave collapse, even though there actually is no wave collapse.

Lookup "decoherence" for more info on this.
I have a feeling they will completely ignore the expanded universe.
Hope they chose an awesome director for episode 7: http://www.businessinsider.com/five-directors-disney-should-...
Attempts at societal manipulation are ever present in popular media... it's often subtle and overlooked. Often, characters treat certain ideas or positions dismissively, influencing people to think that their 'peers' believe in that way.
Have you seen the Nexus 4? I appreciate your liking the iOS design sensibility, but unsubsidized, you can get cutting-edge hardware for less than your 3-generation old phone.
I don't know about the USA, but here in France, one can have a right to trademark even when it's not officially registered. The main requirement is to show that you have established a de facto brand.

Well after buying the whole Lucasfilm for $4B you'd think buying the IP rights for the Thrawn triolgy shouldn't be that big an issue ;-)
To answer your first question: It's certainly possible from a technical level, but I'm not aware of any end-user application that enables this functionality out-of-the-box.

One hacky-but-straightforward way to do this would be to take advantage of an email<->filesystem translation like NMH or MBox, and then write some script that would automatically purge the attachments before archiving.

You'd still have to download the attachments, I believe; I could be wrong, but I don't think IMAP will let you get around that easily.

(To be fair, Gmail's implementation doesn't adhere to IMAP very well in my experience - labels/folders/tags are a major problem - so YMMV).
If they can afford Lucasfilm, they can surely afford to license Zahn's books. (Assuming Lucasfilm didn't already have the right to film them, which they might, if they thought to insert the right language into the book contracts.)

Whether they want to is another question.
I recently visited the Disney Hollywood Studios in Florida. There they have a Indiana Jones live action show as well as a Star Wars exhibit of some kind, I saw little kids dressed in Padawan outfits and getting to fight Darth Vader with a lightsaber (yes, looked pretty cool).

I was surprised at seeing Lucasfilm licensing these valuable properties to Disney for use in a theme park. I guess the two companies have been working together for years.
These are the problems you have with any Django app as you learn to scale it, they're not inherent to Tastypie. They're why prefetch_related and select_related exist, you're Doing Things Right.
Hopefully they will make "Heir to the Empire" as episode 7.
You've convinced me. There is no conceivable benefit from a secure DNS, nor any possible application that could make use of such a thing.

Unicode: I wish I could say "the right way to handle Unicode in Lua is to X", but I haven't found X yet. slunicode at least allows you to do string matching on UTF8 strings: http://files.luaforge.net/releases/sln/

json.stringify: I suggest escaping strings by some character that cannot occur in identifiers or numbers, e.g., ":". Then the above would map to { "1" = 11, ":1" = 11}.

Another question: does your mail function send mail from your server? How do you avoid users sending spam?
The only way you know if your product is imperfect is by other people constructively criticising it. But instead you would rather all of us stand around in a circle cheering them on about how wonderful it is and politely ignore any problems.

Sounds like a guaranteed way to fail.

I find this article to be an intriguing piece of journalism. In the end, it's not clear to me if the people who like the pre-InBev beers are merely sentimental, or are speaking to a real wide-spread erosion of quality for beers under their sway.

Is InBev -- compared in the article to a private-equity pump-and-dump operation -- buying brands and chipping away at them to turn their hard-earned customer loyalty into the impressive profits reported over a finite period of time, like strip-mining? Or, are they are a positive globalizing force that may make some sacrifices, but generally improves the quality and availability of beers available to all, especially in places without a local micro-brew economy or supply chain?

The answer is probably somewhere in-between, but how much of each?
I get the same behavior. First no response from the carousel when clicking the arrows and after a few seconds it's going crazy. Windows 7 wit Chrome version 22.0.1229.94
Dismissal is not constructive criticism. There's a sizable difference between "meh, nothing to see here" (which is the original comment in this thread) and "here's how this could be better".
Really? The Fox network alone has animated sitcoms that make fun of Fox News. Can you find a "well controller message" in the list of 20th Century Fox films?[1] The fact is, Newscorp is the most mercenary of them all, and only gets flack because they were so aggressive about seizing the right-wing cable news niche.

One innovative "solution" is millionshort:

Basically the idea is that you take sites that perform too well on search metrics and remove them. Of course, that only works as long as a majority uses services like google.
I thought M:I Ghost Protocol was pretty mediocre. To each his own.
Besides advertising it can be PoC of running NoSQL workloads on ARM architecture.
I like the new one more too, but only because of Compact mode.
I did not, but I'm a Python programmer. It seems too few pythonistas participate in this thread to make a difference - RST was mentioned just 3 times. And Textile was mentioned once, although not as an alternative but as an inspiration for Markdown. MediaWiki syntax was mentioned once, but described as crap.

I just felt the need to count something, don't mind me.
They also do the Jedi Training Academy show at Disneyland in California. It's a great production and just fits perfectly with the rest of the feel of Disneyland.
I never did read the article because of the same features that the comment you're complaining about complains about. The format of the google blog seriously sucks.

I migrated all my machines to salt 6 months ago after using Puppet for a few years. It's been pretty painless but I would check out Ansible also before commmiting to a Salt transition.

The hidden truth is that the "approval process" will have to happen before you can move any serious money through any of these payment processors.

This comes from the Payment Card Industry, and their idea that you should "Know Your Customer," and US Treasury Department, which has zero tolerance for payment processors who take a cavalier attitude towards money laundering, and they go directly after the owners of the company, and press criminal charges.

So while you're selling 100 a month, you're not really on anybody's radar, but start processing in earnest, and they will want all of the info that a traditional merchant account process requires.

Believe me when I say that "Instant Approval" ruffled a lot of feathers with more traditional processors who were forced into long, involved approval processes by PCI.

So you can start immediately at an instant approval processor, but they'll want all the same into before you can get your money. If you search for horror stories, you'll find lots of merchants who signed up for these services who didn't read the fine print about their money being tied up, and complain loudly that the processor should have told them something that important.

You can get out in front of the process with these processors by talking to them. let them knwo that you're about to launch, or offer discounts or whatever, so your spike in volume doesn't look suspicious. That the in-depth approval process as soon as you can. They want to be your partner, but there are rules and laws that they're not going to bend or break for you.

BONUS: one of the reasons that credit cards don't like to be used for crowdsourced funding sites is that there is no guarantee that a good or service will change hands, and therefore they have a harder time telling legit crowdfunding from money laundering "oops, sorry guys, or idea flopped. thanks for the $200 thousand dollars!"
So, of course, are these horrible ux's.
So another way to look at it is having re-usable components that you can choose to include/exclude as needed. Then use LESS to customize, tweak, extend those components as needed to create the custom design you need. https://wrapbootstrap.com/ has some examples of work done in this area.
I couldn't find it by searching, but I remember it being demoed on HN by the author.
I'm confused about your stringify suggestion... I think the primary use of json.stringify is to send that JSON to some API or back to a browser, but nobody else would be able to make sense of the ":1". Am I misunderstanding?

We don't run an SMTP server, so the email (port 25 traffic) comes from our servers but not from our SMTP server. Even still, we will probably have to limit port 25 use to avoid blacklisting. We're sorting that out.
For a really fast consumer webcam, look at the PS3 Eyetoy (http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Eye-3/dp/B000VTQ3LU).

There are very stable linux drivers out there for it and you can get up to 120fps. For a past project, my team was able to get up past 60FPS using this camera.
Well, yeah, if by "power" one means "pushes a payload up from Earth's gravity well". That's not really what I expected to read.
FWIW, at least on apache.org, this is intentional:

This isn't some lone engineer's noble cause. This is a sales product demonstration.

No it doesn't. People SHOULD be critical of demonstrations like these because they are rarely representative of real world behaviour.
Ok thanks that's good to know. I take the opportunity to say how sorry I am for those who might be suffering from Sandy. I wish I was there to be helping. God bless

I've been using this side-by-side with the old UX on my personal account for weeks (months?). Much prefer the new UX. Glad it's finally launching.
Amazing! I just want to add my vote for javascript support. I am already invested in javascript for client and server development that having a javascript scripting engine like this would be heaven. Again, great job!

The "Star Tours" ride has existed since the late 80s when the section of the Florida park was called MGM Studios (and also existed at Disneyland).

Interesting history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Tours
I know of a couple teams that are having problems getting together to finish things up due to travel restrictions because of Hurricane Sandy. I know in Baltimore, there was a storm curfew implemented, and you were effectively not allowed to be on the streets between 6:00 pm yesterday and noon today. On top of that, taxis, subways, trains and buses were all shut down, and power and internet were spotty at best.

Collaboration is kinda hard under those circumstances, and even more so if your team is distributed and, if you're trying to record the video or something, that basically makes it impossible.
This basically seems like a tax on hyperlinking, which is at the core of the web. Absurd.

A Forbes article (http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2012/10/30/explainin...) explains further that the complaint from French publishers is about the portion of the search results page that shows links to those publishers' content (since that results page has ads on it). They could exclude themselves from indexing easily (and forego traffic of course).
The point isn't (just) that people should get lifesaving treatment even if they can't afford it, it's (also) that people in life-threatening situations can have a hard time proving that they're capable of paying even when they are. For example:

A man's been hit by a car. The driver calls 911. Do you send an ambulance?

An ambulance arrives. The medical team springs into action, and one of their number looks through the stricken man's wallet for proof of insurance. He doesn't find any. Do you discontinue care?

Suppose instead that he finds an insurance card, but it's stained with blood; a reasonable person couldn't use it to tell whether the injured man's insurance was up to date. Do you discontinue care?

A little imagination should supply you with many similar scenarios. One could invent a method of proving insurance (or assets) both quick and powerful enough to address them all (a universal database keyed to DNA, perhaps), but certainly nothing like that exists today.
The hell? Who said I have a problem with people reading anything? How does that even make sense?
The whole shebang is owned by GWL. I once heard George say that he had no interest in going public. He wanted his companies to work on his projects before anything else, which cause a lot of grief at ILM some years ago.

"You remember way back in the early ’00s when your favorite blogs posted a few times a day at most, had a handful of great writers, and were a joy to read."

When was it last on HN? Don't remember seeing it.
Most users of the Internet are dependent on Google to find anything on the Internet.
Another negative trend that's clearly happened in this thread is drive-by voting: all of your interlocutor's posts have negative points, whereas the only posts in the thread that deserved any downvotes were the initial post (the only legitimate instance of the poorly-named 'middlebrow dismissal' that I can see) and the one where you put words in his mouth at the end ("Oh, so they're liars now?"). Postulate: very few people read anything but the first post and its reply, and upon doing so most upvoted all of your posts in the thread and downvoted all of your interlocutor's. Intelligent discussion indeed.
Dismissal is absolutely constructive criticism if you're looking at it from a business perspective.

People who have never used software should be critical of "here's what our software can do with inexperienced hands, maybe you'll do better"? I'd much rather default to giving benefit of the doubt than assuming everything sucks before I've even touched it. Reminded of people who say they don't like exotic food but have never eaten it.

I think the lowest opinion on the totem pole is one formed by assumptions (based upon personal experience with an area) used to reflect upon something from the hip. "I'm pretty versed in game development, and what these people are doing is stupid based on my world view."
Sure, I never claimed to describe all of QM.

I've been really disappointed that the expanded universe hasn't been explored more. There is so much more to Star Wars than just the stories surrounding Luke and Anakin as the protagonist.

Really like the potential in crowdfunding of science as a way to get more people interested in science. Would be interesting to see rewards tailored for aspiring scientists. This research-topic is probably too controversial to directly associate with high school and younger students but letting them sponsor research projects in exchange for a lab tour / tutorial would be an interesting way to get young people more interested in research.
That's a great list. Although I think that Brad Bird would be a natural choice as well.
