Yeah, but the gyro/accelerometer could provide short movement measurements, no? IF you combine that with the distance measurement you get from the BT device, you should be able to figure out the direction to the BT device?
Zombies, Run! wasn't covered in RPS' roundup, probably because we're smartphone only and were quite early - but we were the biggest videogame project of 2011 with $73k from 3500 backers.

Through a pretty herculean effort, we launched on time in February. Since then we've sold almost 250,000 copies across iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, and grossed somewhere in the region of $1.5 million.

So yeah, I'd say it's working for some people. Did backers know what they were going to get? I don't know, Zombies, Run! is a very original idea so we couldn't just say "It's like X but with Y." But they seem pretty happy as far as we can tell.
I get an over distinct prison vibe when viewing some of these "homes". Its like dystopian fiction brought to life.
Then don't.

His is just another piece of advice in an industry where, like all others, no piece of advice is universally applicable.

For example, when it comes to major refactoring of a large chunk of code that has been in maintenance mode for a while, you can benefit from hindsight: hopefully you've seen the code at work, you know the strengths and weaknesses of the design, and you have an opportunity to build a new design with more strengths and fewer weaknesses, because now you have a better understanding of the problem you're trying to solve.

I don't think that what he's suggesting is all that radical, either. Is it really so rare to move some system from one environment to another in piecemeal fashion? I'm certain I've done it at least a few times. Is it now a radical suggestion to break some arbitrary coding standards in order to improve some functionality or untangle some mess? I should hope not.

I do have JS enabled but still run into problems. Probably some script blocking plugin that's causing them but the cause doesn't really matter, what does is the fact that it's preventing one from reading the article.

There's really no reason at all to obfuscate text based information in such way unless you want to display ads or track the user. It even shows the actual article behind the loading screen but you can't read the article itself since the loading never finishes. That's just bad design.

It's not the first time I've had to open lynx in order to read an article that's behind some javascript nonsense.

Oddly in most of Europe it's 'football' as well, EUFA, IFA, Ligue de Football and so on, seems to be quite fractured depending on whereabouts in the world you are, and with the rise in people learning American English through TV/movies/etc I can see it becoming more popular to call it soccer.

I'm also not naive enough to think that this hasn't already begun.
Am I right in my understanding: that the reason things are easily cured in mice is that mice have "throw away" disposable soma metabolisms that don't do anywhere near as much error correction as human ones, and so there's a lot of low hanging fruit. Something badass enough to harm humans, on the other hand, has already dodged many error correction mechanisms and is intrinsically harder to fight.
It's a better way of thinking than "I'm poor, I don't think I stand a chance". Even if people don't become rich or successful, they still feel better about themselves.

I don't see how this is a security hole, unless the website gets hacked in another way. Every time you sign up for an account the website could save your password in plaintext which they could view later. Same thing for signing in, a website could just save the submitted password.

If for some reason my logic is flawed, then a lot of information would have to be denied, essentially and operation on a password input. You'd have to disable and .type, .val, and probably a couple of others on password fields.
Not a good practice. If you keep changes of .less files separate you create an overhead of 50-100% of the resulting style-sheet file size for larger projects, that style most of the components.

We now directly modify everything and try to merge in updates manually. This has proven to be the best practice.
I still stand by 'previously' as 5 years is an awful long time to keep people interested in a sport that doesn't appear in your country and has none of your countrymen involved, especially with similar series (Indy 500 etc) running anyway. Especially 5 years in F1, where everything gets changed around and fiddled with.
Uhm, I don't have channel 5 because I'm not in the UK nor I do have a tv ;) but I have watched some fragments and I don't buy it due to the oval thing. The crashes, yeah, they are cool, but it's a bit like watching gymnastics hoping that the chick will fall off and crack her arm. It's too bad tourer races (DTM, WTCC) don't get as much attention as F1.

In the "sports I didn't watch" category I never expected motorcycle racing would be more exciting than F1. I've never shared an interest in bikes and I don't know most of the names except Rossi and Pedroza, but once got into watching a MotoGP race and wow, there is action!

From what I see, hear and unbiased own experience - lack of support and automated enforcements at GAE are absolute deal breakers. With numerous incurred problems with the service, the only resort was to go to the Google Groups and beg for help and attention. It was totally unacceptable. But it is totally on par with other Google services, like Adwords, where our account was suspended and later re-instated after several months of communicating through Adwords person with mighty "Google's Engineers", who refused to re-activate account because some of the domains in our paused campaigns we used in 2008 have expired and after been re-purchased by unrelated people were now serving parked pages (by Google!). So they wanted us to make those domains complaint to Adwords terms again. It was a totaly absurd situation. Being reliant on Google's traffic is already too daunting, so I thought why the hell I am bringing myself willingly to GAE, to experience their erratic behaviour, ignorance of paying customers and to feel insecure everyday not knowing what else they might re-programm in their heads to fall victim to their algorithms.... No, thanks Google. With Amazon services now it really feels like a hell and heaven.
That is one of the main reasons why I use Opera where password is filled only after I press special button.

What can I tell you? If you are using a script blocker this is what you get in the current landscape. There really isn't a reason why text should be mangled without javascript, but that's just the way it is with some sites.

For simple dead reckoning you'd need to add a magnetometer into the mix as well, otherwise there's no way to know which direction the sensors are facing relative to anything else.

This would at least give you a compass heading that you could use when integrating the accelerometer data to give some kind of course over time.

It'd be pretty unreliable though and add a lot of cost.
An attacker could already simply redirect the form or post silently via XHR to gather the password, even if you didn't save your password before. This is not very useful.
It was when you'd mention Top Gear and 'British' and I put two and two together and got 8. Honestly, you should try at least one race purely to see how aggressive some of the drivers can be. It's similar to the British Touring Car Championships, but even less polite.

Superbikes is one of the reasons why I don't watch the F1 as much, it's far more entertaining, the drivers seem to be a lot more humble, and rules aren't constantly being monkeyed.
Free DNS management service
If a script wants to gain access to the prefilled stuff it has to come from the website creator unless the website is hacked with sql injection or something like that, which still has the same problem- if they really want your password, on signin the website can just get the password value of the form and save it somewhere,.
Most websites include a host of javascript from other sites, like Google Analytics, Like-Buttons, Ads, and so on. If they all can get to the password it seems like an issue to me.

Personally I am surprised by this. Afaik you can not copy+paste the password from a password form field, so I just somehow assumed you couldn't get to it via JavaScript, either.
Oh, I am not Estonian. But Estonian television is not dubbed, merely subtitled.

I just don't believe that 'X population is generally good at speaking Y language' means that 'X's mother tongue is related to Y' is a sound argument.
The suggestion that you should forbid access to the prefilled password from JavaScript just doesn't work and will break many websites. If the form is submitted in the regular way, it will typically work, but any sort of background logging in or AJAX form submission will then fail.

And what's so special about what you've saved? XSS is a security hole and so once a script is injected it doesn't really matter whether it's the prefilled password or a password that gets typed in - it's just perhaps slightly more likely to be there. (But then, I wouldn't think people are in the habit of leaving a filled in login form as it is - I at least would be likely to compulsively submit it and log in.)

If I understand correctly, the key feature of OTR is its plausible deniability; the messages you send do not have a digital signature that a third party can use to verify their integrity, but the other party in the conversation is able to verify them.

Is that really going to hold up in court? Surely by the same token I could dismiss absolutely everything there is any record of me sending or receiving over HTTP because it could theoretically have been forged or tampered with in transit.
To be frank, I don't know. My work with mice was rather limited so I don't have the depth of knowledge of mice as a model organism that I would need to answer this good question.

In general, toxicities are identified in humans that weren't observed in mice, the delivery mechanism may be intrinsically unsafe or unknown to be safe, the genetic architecture differs in a way that changes expression of relevant genes, or the metabolism differs in some way.
Great job of picking apart the logic flaws in my argument. Thank you.

But I think you missed my goal. I was making a sweeping generalization about my personal preferences. Much as "I've found I like ice cream with chocolate in it more than others" Such statements are by necessity overly broad and full of false dichotomies.

I do appreciate your comment, however. It helps clarify further discussion. Just wanted to point out that my goal wasn't a deep dive on all things graduate-degree related. It was to announce (mostly to myself) a heuristic that I have been carrying for a while without recognizing it.

Congrats on your degree. It's great to achieve a goal. Now go make a difference in the world. Getting a degree wasn't it.

As an aging coder, I have to inject a PSA: be very careful here. Learn to type properly and use a good ergonomic keyboard like a Kinesis. Many of the most productive programmers I know have had to work through RSI issues from typing too much and/or improperly. Certain programs with hand-stretching key bindings like Emacs are especially dangerous without a keyboard like a Kinesis that eliminates the use of single-handed Ctrl-<Key> combinations. (The Kinesis puts Ctrl/Alt/Meta on the thumbs so you never stretch your hand to type <Modifier>-<Key> combinations.)

One reason I migrated away from C++ and towards Python over the last 5 years was the verbosity of C++ -- it was killing my hands (#). It really does add up. The absolute worst was when I was writing the rendering pipeline for Crash Bandicoot in MIPS R3000 assembly: the sheer verbosity difference between assembly and C was enough to destroy my hands, to the point where, in the home stretch towards shipping Crash 2, I was typing with my fists clenched, holding two pens and pecking a key at a time. I didn't really "get over" the RSI for another five years. Even now, I have to stop typing when I notice I'm getting fatigued, or I will get right back into serious problems. And this is far from unique; as I said, lots of coders my age have these issues.

Do not ignore hand/wrist pain. Do learn to type properly. Do invest in an ergo keyboard. If you are a coder, your ability to type is utterly critical to your livelihood and well-being. Don't mess around with it.

(#) C++11 makes this a lot better.

Since it detects the value being qualified by the currency and localizes the unit in front of the value, I would understand that behavior if it would also do some cash value translation at the current rate (which would arguably be somehow less wrong), but it does not [0].

Yeah, the rules mess is one of the reasons I kind of lost interest in F1 (the major ones were BMW dropping out and later the Kubica hiatus).
I'm an American and love F1. I hate NASCAR because ovals are boring, like soccer. Hockey is even better. NASCAR also sucks because it uses spec cars instead of letting teams be creative. NASCAR should include real muscle cars and allow the Camry to be front wheel drive if that's what Toyota wants.
I think http://stanlemon.net/pages/jgrowl is very close.

jGrowl is a jQuery plugin that raises unobtrusive messages

It is pretty old by now (4 years), but a benefit of that is that it supports older browsers too.

And this plug-in is also close. Build on top of jQuery UI, so small footprint, but you'd need that library.

This isn't just a lack of interest in F1, it's an almost complete lack of modern motorsports in general.

Oddly enough, for a country where cars are sacred, the US has barely any capability to develop racing cars of any kind (NASCAR is low tech, Indycar, like most other US racing series, buys its cars from Europe), and there is little to no serious competition.

There are no modern racetracks (besides Austin), the facilities at ovals, even Indy, are cheap, low budget and utterly outdated compared to modern racetracks around the world.

There is very little competition outside the major series compared to the many dozens of competitive racing series around the world, and no way for talent to develop.

NASCAR's commercial success aside, the US is a third world country when it comes to racing.

Native Swedish and Danish speaker here. I can confirm that Swedish people usually do not understand Danish, whereas Danes have an easier time with Swedish. I think Danish is just plain harder to understand, and I sometimes speculate that my early exposure to it has kind of hypertrophied my general language ability (I used to win awards for English vocabulary knowledge and that sort of thing in high school).

It's really simple: I buy ebooks, then break the DRM so that I can make a backup. If it wasn't possible to break the DRM, I wouldn't buy them.

Non-DRM'd books are better, of course.

I want my descendents to be able to read my e-books just as easily as they can read my physical books. So my conversions include collapsing rich text to plain text, which I am reasonably sure will survive format changes over the next 100 years.
You should submit that to HN. I already know typing, but had I not, I would have definitely used it.
Are there common expressions that are equivalent in english and swedish with the respective currencies?
E.g. stuff like "dollar to dollar", "bet someone dollars to doughnuts" ?

Anyway, plenty of text would probably match word-wise ("X bought Y for $AMOUNT $UNIT") in financial news, so the mapping of "dollar" over "kronor" seems a reasonable error.

For probably the same reason, google also translates hungarian "1000 forint" to english "1000 HUF" going from the full word to a quasi-acronym for "HUngarian Forint".
