There have been attempts. They've mostly failed.

A "Wikipedia that allows everything". Try it. It'd turn to shit really quickly.

People seem to have this idea that there was this golden age of Wikipedia where you could write everything, and then the EVIL DELETIONISTS took over. The fact is, huge amounts of what gets put up on Wikipedia is junk. Deleting it is a service to the reader in the same way anti-spam filters are to email users.

Articles need to be maintained. To be useful for readers, they have to be reasonably accurate, and in Wikipedia-land, we base accuracy on external sources. And if there aren't any external sources, how the hell can we even try and be accurate?

Fortunately, there is a solution: the rest of the web. Wikipedia has a constrained mission, namely the production of an encyclopedia. Outside Wikipedia, there is a big wide web where you can do whatever you like. Wikis that have explicit points of view, that are focussed on specific topics... all that kind of stuff.
I never ran ClojureScript, but I am curious about the procedure to call functions from other java script libraries. Is it as seamless as the call of a java function from the JVM Clojure?
You lose credibility when you compare president Bush to rapists and murderers. A lot of people don't like him, I get that... but you sound like an ideologue.
The article is from May 2012, perhaps the thread title could be updated to say so?
haha, reminds me a lot of things from my childhood !

What I love with Siteswap is also that it can predict whether you want to do is possible.
I remember trying to do something for two days before noticing that it won't work . . . :)
addlepate, you appear to be hellbanned.
The most annoying is that scrolling can change the article without warning, and scrolling in the opposite direction may or may not return you to the article you actually wanted to read. Maybe it depends on the browser, but I have the same behavior on the Android browser and desktop Firefox.
> 2. By telling us you're dipping your foot, you've essentially given your notice. You just haven't told us when you're leaving. As of right now, you're not going to get the same level of attention and I'm looking for your replacement.

I must say that I don't really understand this one. Anyone could get fed up and leave. Is the person who is up-front and honest with you, and indicates a desire to stay really more likely to subsequently leave than the rest of them?

Just two years ago the Supreme Court reached back across 200 years of history to expand the 2nd amendment and strike down state legislation that would have been unambiguously Constitutional at the time of the founding. So tell me again how we're in danger of losing the 2nd amendment.

I'm in the middle of reading "Tubes" by Andrew Blum, which is the story of how the Internet was physically built. MAE-East, PAIX, Ashburn, and all that.

The Kindle version is $1.99 right now. I paid $9.99 for it last week.

I agree. Sometimes it is clear-cut like you describe. Often, though, it is a judgement call between one's gut feeling and the science facts mentioned by advisors.

There are limits to what people can communicate, and I think that an expert opinion can be better than a list of scientific evidence enumerated by lesser experts.

Please see the DNA / ballistics courtroom argument made by Dreyfus.
http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~hdreyfus/html/paper_socrates.h...

"It is ironic that judges hearing a case will expect expert witnesses to rationalize their testimony, for when rendering a decision involving conflicting conceptions of what is the central issue in a case and therefore what is the appropriate guiding precedent, judges will rarely if ever attempt to explain their choice of precedents. They presumably realize that they know more than they can explain and that ultimately unrationalized intuition must guide their decision-making, yet lawyers and juries seldom accord witnesses the same prerogative."
It uses git, so you can keep your address book on as many different computers as you want and use commands such as "git push" and "git pull" to handle the synchronisation.

There are no built in "ppl push" commands or anything like that at the moment. I was wary of tempting YAGNI and the inner platform effect until some valid use case becomes clear.
same here. Will hate the page the rest of the day.

Precisely my point - NatGeo is historically very conscientious of the IP surrounding their photography, but not this time.

Before the latest Instagram TOS controversy their TOS was already a travesty for photographers, where was NatGeo's objection prior to this? And why did they grant irrevocable, sublicensable, transferable licenses to a whole bunch of photographs already?

This seems like jumping on the bandwagon way too late. NatGeo should never have used Instagram with the copyright license as it was - the latest TOS changes simply made an already overreaching agreement even more egregious.

I'm not far off from their target audience. I am a frequent reader of WSJ and other similar publications, and when I see a "low interests rate" title (especially without additional context), I still think of the crappy spam ads you see on msnbc.com or cnn.com.

RE: mashable, to each their own, I personally like the layout; I thought it was pretty simple. 3 columns, more detail as you go left to right.

Though I do agree on the sidebar overdose. I dislike that.

"Working for a lower salary than the industry standard is not only bad for you, it's bad for the industry as a whole."

There is a reason not everyone gets paid the same. Two software engineers with 7 years experience in the same technologies but one has taken on leadership roles in big projects and the other has only done small solo projects. The first person should be above the industry standard, but the second person should be below the industry standard.

Ugh, I literally bought RubyMine a week ago for $69, and now it's only $17. Sucks for me for missing out on the savings, but it's a fantastic product and well worth the original price.
Humans as a species are rather more credulous of others than warranted by the inherit limitations of our perception, cognition, and retention abilities, even before factoring in deliberate deception.

In short, I can believe that.
Would you be willing to offer a larger discount if I bought multiple seats? I want to roll this out across my company before our fiery doom arrives tomorrow.

As someone who has worked in the non-profit sector for several years, having a cash reserve is a best practice. Six months is on the smaller end. If you don't have cash reserves and fund raising falls short, you have to start laying people off, cutting programs, turning off servers, etc. Or if the global economy tanks and people stop donating, your whole non-profit may be in trouble.

Six months of cash to cover all expenses is a selling point of Wikipedia, not a detraction. I want to donate to and work for financially prudent non-profits. If anything, I'd like to see their cash reserves upped to more like a year or so.
For those of us not quite as embedded in the bubble as this author, what's this in response to?
First post - yeah!

Federal contractor in Washington DC.

Average increase in salary changing company: 17% (Low 2.5% increase, High 42% increase)

Average increase in salary through raise: 3.2% (Low 2% increase, High 4% increase)

I've generally found that salary reporting sites are inaccurate as the salaries listed are double what the reality is.
>The archive.org team does follow robots.txt and I believe they remove content retroactively meaning if you update your site with a robots.txt it will delete the old content (which I think sucks).

Every time the "Change Facebook back to the way it was!" brigade came out, I would link to the wayback machine's copy of facebook.com from 2005 and say "Is this what you want??". Now I can't do that anymore because of stupid robots.txt.
If you're in the UK (I am) then they have a specific manifesto here - http://www.pirateparty.org.uk/media/uploads/Manifesto2012.pd...

Reading through it I might have to join, there's very, very little I can find to disagree with there.

For any americans - It leans heavily on the liberal side of things (as do I) though doesn't veer too far into the more blatantly socialist stuff. It does include a so-called Tobin Tax which I think I agree with, but could negatively affect the UK economy if the folks doing the HFT stuff leave...

So yeah. Unsure about other countries. I think a bit like the Greens there is international collaboration but not a top-down structure.

I agree with the grandparent. It's the same thing here in Germany: The parlament has passed many, many unconstitutional laws throughout the last decade. Courts invalidated them later.

There are two main issues:

1. Those laws set expectations to what is acceptable. Constitutional but extreme laws later pass as "moderate" in the opinion of the public.
2. Respect for the constitution gradually erodes.
2. Lots of energy is wasted, because EFF type of organizations need to go to court, collect evidence, testify, etc.

The Tenth Amendment is only now interpreted as a tautology for political convenience. The text reads:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Just because it is now ignored by our government doesn't make it a tautology. It's still the law of the land; it's just being willfully misinterpreted.

Possibly, or given the source to whole thing is on github, you could just look at the HTML of the page there, https://github.com/jgraph/draw.io/blob/master/war/about.html
That's really cool. But if it's a static object then surely you use one camera and a fixed speed turntable and just shoot a continuous stream of shots.

Which has me thinking, can a DSLR take images quick enough that you'd only need to have a rig that orbits the camera around the object at high-speed in order to be quick enough to capture models. The speed needed would be too great for moving subjects I'm sure.
Nope: the future of news will be written in plain text.

Code might help it get some data, evaluate them, present them in addition to the gist of the story.

But without the plain text, and without emphasis on the plain text, it's not news: it's a lightshow.

> "So a company needs a certain level of freedom so they can disclaim copyright infringement in circumstances such as showing adverts alongside your work. But that level of freedom means they could by the letter of the agreed terms use your images for advertising, but the company have told you that's not the purpose of the clause and that they don't intend to do that."

The beauty of legalese is that we can have our cake and eat it too.

In fact this is precisely what many image hosts do - they enumerate the allowable uses for your copyrighted material, instead of imposing a blanket, kitchen-sink allowance.

If you want to profit off of advertising while displaying my photo? Put it in the document, that's fine. Just don't go around asking me to essentially sign all of my copyright over to you.

To be fair most of these articles could be kept current simply by updating the date and the outrage to latest version.

Sure, facebook is creepy and annoying and provides little value to me but until average people start deleting their accounts it doesn't matter at all.
The 2nd amendment is not being discarded even with gun control legislation, so this is hyperbole. A right to gun ownership doesn't mean that there cannot be sensible regulation of guns.
I interpreted the statement as propaganda in favor of the simplified writing system, which originated with Mao Zedong's government in the 20th century. Additionally, it is worth noting that the important of Chinese unification is part of modern Chinese propaganda, and that separatist movements (e.g. in Tibet) are routinely oppressed; Taiwan is a hot-button issue for the same reason.

Well, the other thing is that Wikimedia Deutschland do not necessarily get all of their funding from the Wikipedia fundraiser. Chapters often raise money themselves and sometimes get money from third parties specifically for particular projects and partnerships.

In Britain, for instance, most of the Wikimedia partnerships I've been involved in have had no cost to the chapter beyond a low-cost train fare and a few sandwiches. A lot of the cost is shared with the organisations we are partnering with. There are hundreds of organisations that want to work with Wikimedia, and it's usually of the "spend a few quid on sandwiches" variety.

The idea that people are getting rich off Wikimedia chapter outreach type work is ludicrous. If I want to get rich, well, my consulting day rate is a hell of a lot more than the cost of a sandwich and a train fare.
That is more the aftermath of the dot com days when there was a severe shortage of SA people. Big companies would train people and get them certified and those people would turn around a leave for double the salary. So companies quit training and did not expect anyone to stay over a year.
Yes, it is. You can just do (js/$ ".something") and you'll get jQuery object back.
some parts of Qt, for example QtCore, should become C++ standard.
Ok, fine. Neither side has numbers. But based on the pervasive banners, I thought wikipedia was still in dire straits and needed my money urgently just to keep the servers and bandwidth running. Now that I know they are doing just fine, I doubt I will contribute again. I'd rather put my charity donations to more worthy causes.
We're thrilled that you've come all the way here to buy our products! Thank you!

However, we did not expect the load on our servers would be this high. We are working hard right now to fix the problem.

Please be patient and come back in a couple of hours.

RubyMine has my vote for best Ruby IDE (at least in terms of what I've personally used). It has many helpful features (e.g.: click-through to classes/method definitions), and its ability to debug just pushes it right over the top to make it a must-have for me.

All their server issues must mean they are dealing with unprecedented demand.

It makes me wonder: When demand is THIS intense for a 75% off sale, you think it'd mean a more optimal "normal" price point would be at 25-50% off your current normal prices, wouldn't you?

Moose (http://moose.perl.org) also provides the same mechanism via augment/inner.

Here is one of the examples in Perl/Moose:

package GameObject {
use Moose;
has ['x', 'y'] => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Num');

sub render {
my ($self, $renderer) = @_;
$renderer->set_transform( $self->x, $self->y );
inner;
}
}

package ScaryMonster {
use Moose;
extends 'GameObject';

augment render => sub {
my ($self, $renderer) = @_;
$renderer->draw_image(Images->scary_monster);
};
}

You've got to be trolling. Either that or you intended this comment to make people like me actually donate some money! :)
While most people are irrational that does not mean irrationality is a good thing.

As a side note, people who do court room testimony are rarely scientists. Most Doctors, Forensic Exports, Medical Examiners, etc may have scientific training, but rather than looking for 'universal' answers there applying theory to a specific case. The problem is subtle but opens people up to a lot of biases.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has observed children learning from this book to hear how it went.

Sorry, working on the problem. Current back-to-service estimate: 2-3 hours.
I expect some of the demand is due to the fact that JetBrains releases new major versions of their products 2 or more times a year (ReSharper for example), and conveniently bundle important bug fixes into those versions instead of fixing the bugs in previous releases.

So anyone who's - for example - still using ReSharper 6 will probably leap at this opportunity to finally get fixes for critical bugs in the product. Normally you'd have to pay $100 or more to upgrade just for bug fixes; now it's a rather more reasonable $30 or so.

I'll give you some real world numbers:

* 2006 entered the job market as a new CS grad in Boston area. 39k salary.

* 2007 was given a 7% raise

* 2008 I asked for and got a raise to 50k (roughly 19% increase)

* 2009 I quit and travelled

* 2010 Moved to DC and found a job at 65k (roughly 30% increase)

* 2011 I asked for and got a raise to 85k (roughly 30% increase)

* 2012-first half I switched jobs in DC to 100k (roughly 17% increase)

* 2012-second half I left that job to travel and start my own thing

* 2013 Hopefully I won't be talking about salaries.

Two things:

* I definitely dug a hole for myself a few times, but I can say every job was a great place to work and I was surrounded by people I learned from every day.

* I never negotiated. Anytime I asked for a raise I was honest with them and I told them up front I wasn't negotiating. I gave them a number and told them that's what it'd take to make me happy. Both times they came back with a counter offer and both times I repeated I wasn't negotiating and thanked them for taking the time to see what they could do. In both cases I ended up getting what I asked for.

The original xcode4 was very buggy. Nowadays it works fine, even if it doesn't have all the fancy editing of a JetBrains IDE. My biggest complaint is that xcode4 removed a lot of the automation hooks that xcode3.x had, and it doesn't seem that they will ever be added back.

I've worried about this. While we can sift through hundred-year-old photos of our great grandparents, what will our great grandchildren sift through a hundred years from now? We generate more photos and written word by orders of magnitude, but often this data gets lost as we fail to back up data, social networks shut down, or we simply no longer have computers or software designed to view antiquated data. I guess what scares me is that our digital heritage is so easy to wipe out or at the very least, misplace.

I actually didn't think of adding multiple prints of one photo yet, good thought, I'll look into adding it!

And yes they can be delivered to the UK, the photos are actually sent from the UK
As we all know saying one thing and actually doing it are two totally different things. Sadly.
Of course, if we're into an extended out-of-service period, we'll prolong the offer.
Current service restoration estimate is 2-3 hours though.
Sorry, please hold on )
