Amazing how many comments in this thread think this is the same as Owncloud. If they had just read the FAQ they would have known that it wasn't.

Owncloud is a client->server<-client model, this is a client<->client model. Essentially any "client" can become a "server."

Owncloud is a great business tool for companies, I think this product is more aimed at individuals with multiple devices who want to share files between them...

PS - Owncloud has a lot of technical hurdles to overcome. Both the client AND server needs a lot of work. It is a great concept, but needs some refinement.
I played with Django REST framework a week ago and was surprised on how easy it was to get going with it.
The documentation is almost complete and the tutorial is especially nicely done as it begins with a naive - and tedious - approach and then proceeds to simplify everything using the advanced features of the framework. This really helps prevent the 'magic' effect as we get a clear understanding of what is happening behind the cover and where one should look to extend or override the default behavior.

Overall, I found it to be quite feature-rich. One aera of improvement might be the built-in token-based authentication. It seems that it's currently using a "shared secret" approach instead of supporting signed-requests, thus limiting its use to HTTPS only.
I think the point many are missing is that the electric car is not nearly as developed as today's petrol car. Great advances have been made over the decades to make today's cars safer, more reliable and more fuel efficient. The needs to be done with electric cars. It will come. But only if people believe it can happen. If too many nay-sayers poo-poo all over the advances that have already been made, confidence is going to be shot. The original review this was a parody of could have conveyed the same concerns without thumbing their nose at it. They did seem to have a lot of bias against the car that didn't need to be there.
At the moment you are correct. But pool mining software is very easy to configure and maintain, and anyway within a few months there will be many more rigs mining at this rate - and thus justifying using the pool.

When I was running mining rigs in 2011, I used BTCGuild as they had very reasonable fees.

I'll be amazed if bitcoin is still around in 2140. Automation and home manufacturing are going to do some weird things to the economics all currencies depend on. We could end up with a barter system where we trade in manufactured goods and creative output instead of currency.

While I find the general idea of the text acceptable, I do not agree with the sentiment that somehow if you're a woman in the workplace, you just need to be accepted for what you are and you should be provided with an "immediate transfer of trust in your abilities." My experience is anecdotal and someone else's will, of course, differ, but at our workplace, if you do a good job and you are a team player, you will be accepted. No one, man or woman, somehow has the right to be trusted until proving themselves.

Yes, a perpetual motion / free energy car would be rather neat. Unfortunately they can't work, in this case because the energy needed to electrolyze the water will always be more than you get back by combusting the results.
The magic is the quirks in how `display: table-cell` makes it like a block, but only as wide as the text, then the pseudo element with equals signs is positioned absolutely inside. Fortunately, most browsers allow this, but firefox doesn't let things be positioned absolute inside a `table-cell`, so I make FF just fall back to `display: block` https://github.com/mrcoles/markdown-css/blob/master/markdown...
Fair points, all.

I suppose what I'm getting at is that as a nation, the US is morbidly dependent on the car. 160 miles for the school run and commute is utterly mad.

I think we'll be adopting and using electric vehicles in Europe long before they take off in the US - our cities, towns and villages are built around humans rather than cars, and we have a public transport infrastructure.

I think the main problem with adoption in the states is that your entire way of life is built around the capabilities and limitations of the ICE.

You're witnessing the evolution of a group-think! It starts off innocently enough, with people stating their opinion on various things, then a couple of opinions become common and coalesce into one, until it is "reality". Then others build off of that truth and the process repeats itself until we have a complete narrative about something that is built upon nothing more than a series of speculative opinions. The internet and social networking in particular are big drivers of group-think; how can you possibly have an opposing opinion when the most retweeted bloggers have established a narrative that contradicts your own?

Here's a speculative opinion of my own that goes against well-established facts as presented in this article: Apple does skeumorphic because Steve Jobs liked it. And when given a choice between designs, he favored the more skeumorphic ones. Designers noticed this and went into that direction. The design community, being overwhelmingly Apple fans, but also liking the flat trend, needed to create a narrative for when Apple was behind the times in design, hence this article.

Each bitcoin transaction has an optional fee set by the party issuing the transaction. The miner, or mining pool, solving the block containing the new transaction is awarded the fee.

At the moment bitcoin mining is all about solving blocks from newly created bitcoins. When they are gone, then bitcoin mining will be all about collecting transaction fees.
Could this possibly cause a drop in exchange price for BTC? If this user bought a bunch of ASICs, he needs to make his money back which could mean selling a lot of coin on a regular basis. However, if most miners already sell, it shouldn't make a difference, may even cause an increase if he starts hoarding more after making a full return on investment.

You definitely do need a 3rd party antimalware solution on Windows 8. The whole point is to push the probability of infection further along the tail end of the curve. Good computing habits won't help you in such cases. It doesn't matter if 99.9% of careful users relying on Windows Defender report having no trouble with malware for X amount of time (with X being large here) - the point is to ensure that you don't fall victim to edge cases, since only a single successful attack can cost you dearly.

Also, those who write malware for Windows 8 will certainly interact with Windows Defender and the smart coders will make sure that their 'product' can defeat it, if only imperfectly at first. It's much harder for them to target several different antimalware solutions.

These are obviously 'at a distance' considerations made without going into any Win8 specifics, but as a long time Windows 8 user (if there is such a thing), I can say that Windows Defender has unexpectedly stopped working or failed to update on several occasions. This doesn't exactly inspire confidence, so I chose to rely on a 3rd party solution. The bottom line is to use your own judgement and (as always) to at least consider sensible contrarian options.

(Note: I'm not a specialist in this, so I can't say how effective Windows Defender is in combating malware (not least because AFAIK you can't run Windows Defender alongside some 3rd party solution.))
It's a bigger problem than that, unfortunately.

There are, for better or for worse, traditionally male roles, and traditionally female roles. The argument (as you suggest) seems to go in one direction only - why aren't there more female (developers|CEOs|politicians)?

The problems are more complex:

1) One problem is related to the fact that society values male roles more than female. A traditional skilled "female" role earns considerably less than a similarly qualified "male" role. While this isn't immediately relevant to the current conversation, it crops up along with the "glass ceiling" argument about CEOs and other high-status traditionally male roles.

2) Another, and the one typified in the OP, is the mockery or prejudice that applies from men to those who take jobs in roles more typical of the opposite gender. You know the jokes about male hairdressers, and male nurses also have to overcome such jokes. The jokes that females in typically male roles have to overcome are similarly well known, and even less palatable.

Personally, I don't care about gender balance, numerically at least: I don't think the world needs more male nurses or hairdressers, or female developers or construction workers (more power to them if they want to do it though). I do think the world needs to accept (without orthogonal prejudice) when they make the choice and try as hard as I did when I started out in this career.

The documentation is completely unreadable in IE7 (which while I'll admit is not Google Chrome, it's also not IE6 or Netscape 4). By 'completely unreadable' I mean nothing shows up at all except an empty sidebar.

Edit: Plus, if it doesn't work in IE7 I really don't think it will work in lynx/links/etc.
In Perl, classes/packages are dynamically scoped. So you can safely localise any monkey-patching. For eg:

use 5.016;
use warnings;

package JSONParser {
sub parse {
my ($self, $str) = @_;
"JSONParser::parse $str";
}
}

package Foo {
sub new { my $class = shift; bless {}, $class }

sub to_json {
my ($self, $str) = @_;
JSONParser->parse($str);
}
}

my $foo = Foo->new;

say $foo->to_json("foo");

{
# OK... I want to amend that JSONParser->parser behaviour
# but just in this scope!

no warnings 'redefine';
local *JSONParser::parse = sub {
my ($self, $str) = @_;
"No Longer JSONParser::parser! $str";
};

say $foo->to_json("bar");
}

say $foo->to_json("baz");

This outputs...

JSONParser::parse foo
No Longer JSONParser::parser! bar
JSONParser::parse baz

They're not spoofing callerID. It's easier than that:

They just have a PBX with 4-digit as extensions mapped to the XXX-XXX-???? block. Their PBX (voip or traditional) does all that callerID magic. Since they don't have direct-dial numbers in that range, it will work.

Why? This way they can see easily in their logs how many calls start at a given minute, and check that the phone company is billing correctly their calls.
Men already have rights...

"To be white, or straight, or male, or middle class is to be simultaneously ubiquitious and invisible. You’re everywhere you look, you’re the standard against which everyone else is measured. You’re like water, like air. People will tell you they went to see a “woman doctor” or they will say they went to see “the doctor.” People will tell you they have a “gay colleague” or they’ll tell you about a colleague. A white person will be happy to tell you about a “Black friend,” but when that same person simply mentions a “friend,” everyone will assume the person is white. Any college course that doesn’t have the word “woman” or “gay” or “minority” in its title is a course about men, heterosexuals, and white people. But we call those courses “literature,” “history” or “political science.”"

"But _in mathematics_ typical span of citation accumulation is decades, not years. And typical total citation count is way lower than in, say, biology."

Sure, I'll accept that. My point is that some people must have it apart from the archives of the university it was first published at. Again, I'm talking about the actual, practical issues here, not the "what might happen". Not to turn this into an ad hominem, but are you an academic? How often do you have real problems (as opposed to 'annoyed because I have to spend 15 minutes') finding the content of papers?

"No. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/perennial Don't confuse it with "popular" or even "with lasting popularity"."

By that definition, anything written is perennial. In the context of a book/movie/paper being 'perennial', 'perennial' means 'still after a relatively long amount of time enjoys some form of popularity or following'. Just because a dictionary doesn't define it into that nuance, doesn't make it not true.
Good catch re: 'late antiquity' -> I should have been a bit more rigorous in my research there.

I like your point about "how little knowledge is a perilous thing?" Completely agree that programming is far from the only important skill. I just generally think that demystifying what is popularly considered to be "esoteric" knowledge is almost always good for a healthy society. The less we know about how the mysterious machines work, the more we fear them and the more trust and power we give to the people who can manipulate them. I think this is hogwash and completely unnecessary since a computer is really just a super-fast filing clerk [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKWGGDXe5MA].

> With a cost of 200$ for 125 repos, it is less than 2$ per client

Something that I keep seeing go un-mentioned is that all GitHub users are not software consultants in the traditional sense. For those that have an actual product and own their code, this breaks down very quickly.

For example, at Pathwright, we have a growing number of private repositories that are various components of our platform, marketing sites, one-off static sites we do to for various things, and etc. We have butted up against our limit several times now, though only a few of our many repositories see regular activity. GitHub is making excellent profit from us, given that we are under ten employees, and the vast majority of our activity is in 2-3 repos at most.

The point of the article is that their model doesn't make complete sense for everyone. I think this is a very valid point. He also [correctly] concedes that the BitBucket model doesn't work for everyone.

In other words, this is a subjective piece that is billing itself as subjective. It is meant to provoke thought about pricing models without declaring one way the "best" way.

>Unless there are infinite productive hours in your day you have to choose your stack and go for it

But the people advocating haskell and clojure have done that. And they feel that their choice worked out so well that they should be nice enough to tell others how good it is. The people "just shipping with PHP" aren't spending their entire day coding, how is spending a half hour advocating for a programming language any different than spending that half hour watching TV (or as a more apt analogy, spending it arguing that PHP is totally good enough because I am shipping software in it so there's no need to ever try anything else)?

>and the less boilerplate you have to do to get your stack running, the more time you'll have for productivity.

This seems like an implication that using haskell or clojure somehow means having to deal with lots of boilerplate. That is not the case, and it is a rather odd thing to believe. This argument actually works against "just shipping in PHP". The less time you have to spend dealing with bugs that would have been prevented in another language, the more time you'll have for productivity.

>But, you have to draw the line between intellectual wanking and thoughtlessness

I believe the idea that there is anyone engaged in "intellectual wanking" instead of "shipping product" is fallacious. I've advocated haskell here before. Obviously I wasn't writing code while doing so, but would I have been writing code were I not advocating haskell? No, I would have been talking about something else, still not coding. Using downtime to advocate for your preferred language, platform, OS, library, framework, etc is a perfectly reasonable use of time, and if you are willing to read the contrary opinions of others, it can even be educational.

He won't because then his "argument" wouldn't work the same way, where the fight for women's equality is equated to the fight for animals rights. Then, his anecdotal evidence of "the same thing happening to males" could not be used to counter what is in any way, shape or form a systemic problem for women in technology. Additionally, his "argument" builds on the false dichotomy of men's/women's rights, whereas men supposedly need a lobby to protect them from feminist advances. The idea is the same as talking about animal rights and somehow decrying the lack of engagement in butchers rights to counter any advances made.

It's a typically deflective move that only serves to steer away from addressing the actual underlying problems (and is very much a symptom of the very same structures). If he were to see this as a question of human rights (which it is, or at the very least ought to be), men's rights wouldn't be separable from women's rights, simply because they fundamentally dissolve in a concern for overall equality.
