I need a way to do this in Apache and/or PHP.

I think Cloudfront has a way to pass variables to your server so theoretically you can use any image generation package right?
"The other day, I asked my wife to make me a sandwich. She told me to make it myself, and I politely informed her that the 15 minutes spent doing that would cost us $25 so it had better be the best sandwhich I have ever made."

Ugh, what a load of nonsense. This would only be true if the OP was so overbooked that every minute not spent working would result in irreversible income loss.

I bill clients $200/hour for running their product or startup. Does that mean that when I go out for coffee it costs me $100 just to be away from my laptop for half an hour? Of course not. Some people seem to think that when they bill hourly they are tapping into an infinite sea of money, and the only constraint on how much they make is how much time they put in. This is clearly wrong in the vast majority of cases.

The $25 you 'loose' by making a sandwich at 14:00, you gain back by working another 15 minutes at 19:00, or the next day, or the next week.
URL doesn't work. Also I consider IRC's decentralized nature to be superior, just as it's simple protocol and established communities.
It's 404ing.
The main issue with the back button is that devs love to mess around with how it works by default, usually to satisfy some kind of architecture that doesn't make sense in the first place on an Android device. From what I've seen of people's Android code, a lot of folks don't grok the Activity and Fragments APIs at first and end up making huge mistakes or creating excessive architectures to try and 'solve' the problem. Unfortunately, this is a kind of chicken and egg problem, since a lot of Android apps are done by hobbyists who need time and practice to get up to speed or by commercial companies that don't care for or don't have any idea on how their product should work on Android.
My guess here is that either the Partial Redundancy Elimination or Loop Invariant Code Motion (or some interaction between the two) in MSVC2010 needed a helping hand, but I agree with mmastrac, it's hard to know exactly what's going on without seeing the assembler.
Are there any similar products that store and analyze data locally? I've been looking into getting something like this, but I wouldn't want any of the data uploaded to the internet at all.

The flossing conspiracy is apparently deep and quick to act!
that could definitely be right. There do seem to be a number of funds that consistently hit winners more often year after year (say, something like 15% winners vs. 10%)

an alternative explanation to the best funds being good at finding winners is that they are good at avoiding the investments that have a low chance of being homeruns. this is where I was heading with my last paragraph but realized it requires a whole new post.

It would have to be if it's being played with that crappy on-screen d-pad.
That's absolutely fair enough - I love that there's a variety of options out there for everyone, and I'm never going to criticise someone for finding what works for them.

I guess my point was more about the statement that there's no need for customization if the OS is well-designed - to my mind, there may be no need for customization for many (or perhaps even a majority) of users, but there is for some. An OS that tried to serve all niche needs without allowing customization would likely be a confused mess - and yet, for those users, having their niche need served can be extremely important.
I'll stick with Lua. I wouldn't give up the dynamic aspects of a language like Lua just for a bit more speed. LuaJIT is more than enough, and if you are doing the hard number crunching that makes speed an issue there's a good chance it's not trivially harder just to write it in C++ to begin with.
Exactly what I was thinking. Tooth decay's one thing, gum health is another, and wayyyy more important than teeth health (if we have to choose). Filling in cavities, applying new crowns, all relatively simple procedures these days. Replacing your gums? Yeah, that's probably going to require grafts from somewhere inside your mouth and will require seeing an oral surgeon if your dentist doesn't already do it. Overall, the experience won't be as..."simple" as a cavity filling.
I would guess it will be 1971-1985. Meeting woz, founding Apple, creating the Mac, hiring Sculley, getting kicked out. Then a epilogue card at the end that gives the rest of the story. That early part has a lot more interesting details out there, compared to the later years which are still pretty secretive and we really only know about the public parts.
My dentist has repeatedly said flossing is for your gums, not your teeth.

I think he's correct in some of his predictions. I don't care to interact virtually with acquaintances and would rather make new real-world friends.

> The tracking done by many ads could be stopped by deleting cookie-headers and using a proxy to serve the ads to hide the real IP from advertisers; but no; they decided that removing the ads completely was a perfectly good idea.

If you mean the ISP should modify any information coming over my connection, no thanks. IP blocking (which I understand is what they are using) is nice and simple.

The blocking should be opt-in rather than opt-out, and I am not opposed to Google blocking everyone on Free because of the ad blocking. But do not advocate intrusive methods that involve an ISP actively modifying data.

The password is JUSTIN BAILEY ------ ------ . Metroid has been disassembled to prove that there's nothing special about those words in the code. The password is a coincidence, that the bit pattern happens to pass the checksum and produces a Samus who possesses most of the powerups in the game.

There's no meaning to it. It's not anybody's name, and anything about the swimsuit is fan retcon. You probably learned about it from either Nintendo Power or one of the many unofficial NES game guidebooks. They invented all sorts of urban legends around it, but modern eyes on the cold code can prove it's just a fluke.

It actually gives an impossible game state: Samus has 255 missiles current but 205 max, and some of the combinations are inconsistent like a set of missiles acquired behind a door that remains locked.

It's scary to think that the transition to unleaded aviation fuel, or avgas, only began a couple years ago, and is scheduled for 2018 [0].

Currently, Avgas, which is different than jet fuel in that it's mainly used by private single-engine planes (ICE instead of turbine), can still contain up to 2.12 grams of lead per gallon [1]. Surprisingly, this 2.12 grams of lead/gal is termed 100LL, for 100-octane "low-lead". Up until the 1970's avgas could contain up to 4 grams of lead per gallon.

I believe that lead exposure caused by the widespread use of avgas is a serious public health concern. Unfortunately most private plane owners are strongly against it due to the higher price of unleaded fuel. I really hope that the EPA succeeds in meeting their deadline.

This is the ideal behind universal accessibility design. For instance, when you're in a loud and crowded place a person with average hearing abilities might have the same needs as a deaf person when watching a video. That's why museums regularly use open captions on video screens since they benefit everyone, not just the deaf.

As a side note, I bet this guy gets fantastic battery life out of his mobile device, since he can set the brightness to the lowest setting possible all the time. I guess I'm assuming that all that Siri and speaker amp usage doesn't drain the battery more.

My favorite one, since fixed, was translating "amistad" from Spanish to English. It would produce, of course, "friendship". Translate "amistad!" with an exclamation point, and it produced "friendship!" Adding more, "amistad!!" produced "friendship!!" But once you got up to five or so, it suddenly switched and produced "murder!"

Here's what the cochrane meta studies say:

(http://summaries.cochrane.org/CD008829/flossing-to-reduce-gu...)

> Twelve trials were included in this review which reported data on two outcomes (dental plaque and gum disease). Trials were of poor quality and conclusions must be viewed as unreliable. The review showed that people who brush and floss regularly have less gum bleeding compared to toothbrushing alone. There was weak, very unreliable evidence of a possible small reduction in plaque. There was no information on other measurements such as tooth decay because the trials were not long enough and detecting early stage decay between teeth is difficult.

you mean the same level of knowledge, not intelligence - people were just as intelligent back then. Knowledge accumulation required agriculture, since it freed up time.
OT: Speaking of the G300, I'd recommend moving to CyanogenMod9 on the G300 -- I think it's much better than the default ICS it ships with (CM10 and above are still quite shaky, although it's fine for my needs).

I understand if you'd prefer to not to mess with your phone and use the default install, but if you feel like getting your hands dirty g300.modaco.com is the place for alternate ROMS.

Best £70 (PAYG, but I guess there is still some operator subsidy in that price) I spent on a phone.
"Power laws have become a kind of popular science meme..."

The blog post is essentially restating the Pareto (80/20) principle, first espoused by management consultant Joseph Juran in 1941. In the blog post he calls it a power law -- the Pareto distribution is a a power law distribution -- but it's an observation that has been made before and is known by many.
Absolutely!

It's funny, I'm reading a lot of blog posts about "We have unlimited vacation and beer Fridays!" from startups, but no mention of how their company actually functions (I'll echo "Valve and Github excepted"). Any psychopath can get a small group of people together and raise some money to throw at fancy laptops and build a product, and then proceed to run the business like their own personal kingdom. Startup doesn't equate to "awesome work environment" but for some reason people think it does, which ignores a large part of human evolution and psychology.

Living in NYC, I hear horror stories from programmers who have left well-known "startups" in the area that are chock-full of "dysfunctional company bullshit". Yes, they produce products and people pay them for it, but they can't keep folks working there (which is a nice side effect for my company :D).

Without having a fundamental sense of how to build an innovative company, all these startups are doing is cargo-culting the trappings of culture.

I still don't know, which is why it is such a nagging problem in my gut.

Chrome acted like it was HSTS, because it refused to let me connect at all, not even with a "it's okay to connect for now." And it went away by itself after about 30-60 minutes.

I'm sure I could have wiped out some Chrome settings to fix this, but this site is also used by our customers, and I really really wanted to understand what it was. Fortunately I was the only person who has ever ran into it so far.

Is there an HSTS user group I could ask about this?
Semplice Linux 3.0 provides a lightweight Debian desktop
Well, it _does_. The second part is implied to refer to a different incarnation of it. Eg the original use "Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi!" ("The king is dead, long live the king") refers to the previous king dying and a new one ascending the throne.

As such, I believe the second part of the title refers to an adapting ("new") form of IRC. As mentioned in the article, projects to add video chat support and the likes. The old IRC is dead (well, dying at least by the looks of it), a new adapted version is the future. [According to the article]

i have heard that humans didn't used to eat so much sugar. It was a desirable food, high energy concentrations. but it was "hard" to get in nature. But with modern tech, it is now so cheap that the process of evolution hasn't really "selected" for people who could cope because it happened so fast.
What you say is somewhat true but irrelevant.
The EULA applies to the SDK binary download, not to the sources.
If you go grab the sources, there is no EULA on them. They are straight apache2/etc.
You can grab the sources, and build your own SDK, without ever involving this EULA. The binary SDK has a bunch of non-open source parts in it (they are clearly marked, AFAICT), so you'd have to deal with that, but otherwise ....

Even if you did agree to the EULA, again, the EULA applies to the binary download of the SDK.

If you want to try to claim that one of the clauses binds you otherwise, it's an interesting claim to make (though the clause is clearly written to talk about the SDK), but one i think is wrong.

FWIW: I'm an IP lawyer specializing in open source licensing
This is fascinating. I had read before about xylitol's dental benefits, but I had not heard that they were so pronounced. I want to do some more independent research before I jump to any conclusions, but you can get pure xylitol pretty cheap online. It's a lot more expensive than sugar as a sweetener (~4x) and way more expensive than sucralose (~20x), but factor in dental bills and it starts looking downright cheap.

So you’re saying you scroll while you read, and it's a noticeable advantage than when you hit the bottom your reading is slightly easier because the page didn't move a fraction.

I would have thought if you are already scrolling and reading, the slight decrease in distance when you hit the bottom would be less distracting than a total change in behavior.
all this proves to me is that Haskell can make even the simplest of tasks difficult to understand or follow. perhaps i miss the point... :/
The moment you say "fanboy" and/or "cult" in reply to a comment you lose a lot of credibility.

" the Apple-spawned fanboy cult"

This is a completely meaningless phrase. It's easy to accuse people of this and impossible to prove. Furthermore when you say something along the lines of "you're just a fanboy of company X" the other guy can just come back and say "well you're a fanboy of company Y" and then everyone sounds ridiculous.

But to your point, I personally like the Apple design and I think that too much customization really can make a beautifully designed piece of hardware look like crap. That said, I also understand that other people either really love customizing their phones and/or have awful taste and that's fine and for them, iOS isn't the best choice. Whatevs. It happens. The thing is, you can't please all the people all the time so I'd say it's a great thing that Apple limits what you can do to personalize the phone. That's one thing that attracts people like me to it. Luckily they're not the only game in town so for the others you have choices.

You're really taking this as a direct insult it seems. I wish you wouldn't have made that fanboy crack because you did have a decent point in there under all the anger.
I totally agree, without a disassembly this is hardly a "technique" although I guess the poster is using the word ironically.

Still, it would be very interesting to be able to actually try to analyze what's giving the speed-up.
I can't find it on their site or Google News. Anyone happen to have another link?
Haha the DFA, happened to me this last year. And it took exactly 7 months to quit the company with all the symptoms of challenged authority and co-workers looking bad. I managed to finally work from home and loving it so far.
Make sure your session secret is a long random string (it might be tempting, if you're passing it in through the environment, to make it shorter or readable). It's an HMAC key that anyone who can get a session from your application can dictionary.
Hm, there are already some comments about possible optimizations kicking in and asking for assembly code (which is always a good idea to look for changes). However, before doing all of these things, I would want to know how these results were measured? How many repetitions, which machine configuration, standard deviation, etc. It could very well be that this behavior is due to some pre-caching in Windows or some other external factor.

They still haven't fixed the compilation speed unfortunately. All these other features are useless when anything written in the language compiles so slowly that it's barely usable.
It's true, or was recently.
> I've realized there's no difference between MOOC and self-studying a textbook if the MOOCs don't provide credit.

MOOC is curated - it is much easier to learn via a MOOC than self study. THe credit/certs is only to "prove" to someone else who don't care about your actual person that you have the said skills. credit/certs are a poor proxy for skill and competency imho.
Not an iOS dev, so I can not tell you how much inline assembler magic is in apps. But the operating system needs of course a fair amount of plattform specific code, as does the compiler. And in general quite a few optimizations are platform specific. So even though Apple uses llvm, the swap is a lot more involved than a -march=x64 compiler flag. This is also true for Android and WinRT.

I'm totally with you on this. On both my iPhone and Macbook I don't change the desktop background or much else from the day I get it. There are other things like the terminal colors and such that I do but for the most part I leave the design alone. Now, customization is obviously very important to people and if it is then that's a great reason to switch to a platform other than iOS. But is it a reason that iOS is worse or better than some other platform? Absolutely not. There is room in this world for things to just be different rather than better or worse.
