Actually it would be a pointless to use it for the purpose you describe.

What truly separates Pixel from a $250 laptop is the retina, touchscreen display which is wasted if you are exclusively using it for VNC.
Especially when their own logotype has it in all lowercase.
You need a way to spawn threads. There may be a way to implement this in the main browser event loop but I have yet to think of a way.
IMHO, although it's very easily readable by humans, it's not quite as easily written by humans.

I've always preferred INI over JSON for this reason.
Don't want to be a naysayer, but what's wrong with something like CSON (CoffeeScript Object Notation)?
Yup array handling is weak. I was going to recurse into coerce, but then the examples made it seem like only strings will be accepted in arrays (he put "8000" in there rather than just 8000). I'll get clarification.

Made it into a proper project/gem here if you want to file issues: https://github.com/jm/toml

And good call on the nested key groups. Shouldn't be hard to knock that out.
anyone knows if i can just replace it with a custom ssd and put on a random linux distro? i have a feeling the answer is no.

also 4 gb? not for me ;/
There already are open source, ad-free (and crossplatform!) Torrent clients. Deluge for example http://deluge-torrent.org

What makes Patchy special?
I wondered the same thing. "No, you can't mix data types, that's stupid" leaves it ambiguous.

If you parse the outer array as just "array of arrays" (as each element is an array), you're not "mixing". But if we're supposed to be parsing it as "arrays of arrays of _type_", then we are mixing.
I disagree, if I order something from a site and it says it'll ship and I don't get it, I would probably call, which would probably get everything fixed.

Since my card would never have been charged I don't think there's any fraud or legal actions that could occur.
It was a little higher for me. I only was granted when I crossed 520 or so.
Nothing, json's awesome. But like most data packaging schemes the finished product isn't designed with human-readability as a primary goal.

Edit: as mikegirouard points out it is much easier to read than (for example) serialized data, but still not as friendly as ini.
I can’t really claim any credit for the design. I simply wanted to recreate the look of https://news.layervault.com/ which I really like so all credit for that should go to @Allan

As for the zooming, that should technically work as is, unless there’s something I missed. Let me know if there any particular pages that are looking wonky.
Clearly not. If a printer runs out of ink, does that mean it is no longer a printer? If a car runs out of gas, is it no longer a car?

If I am printing copies of the Koran, and the government decides to tax ink at the rate of 17,000%, are they just imposing levies, or are they restricting my first amendment? What if the ink tax applies to everybody? What if the ink tax only applies to publishers printing things that the government doesn't like?

It's worth noting that while I've reference DC v Heller a number of times in this topic, it applies here as well. The DC handgun ban used to be a de facto ban on all handguns, but above and beyond that, even for rifles or shotguns that may have been legal to possess, there was a mandate that in the home they could not be used for self defense, and they must have been disassembled as much as possible, and ammo stored separately.

The Supreme Court struck down this requirement, with language in the sentencing stating that any law which would make a weapon impossible to use for self defense would also be unconstitutional. As such, allowing people to possess firearms, but not ammunition would be a violation of one's Constitutional rights to bear arms.

Also, to answer the question more directly, a firearm need not even be capable of firing to be considered a firearm in US law. There are parts one can buy that are 'controlled', and that means that those parts effectively comprise the gun itself. In the case of a Colt 1911 pistol, the 'frame' is considered the gun, even though it does not possess a trigger, or grips, or a barrel, etc. In the case of an AR15, a stripped lower receiver is considered the firearm, despite that it has no moving parts.

Knowing this, there are ways to circumvent FFL required registration as well. I can buy what's called an '80%' lower receiver, which has been machined, basically, to an outline, but has not had the internal machining done. The ATF considers this a paperweight, effectively, and I can buy an unlimited supply of these without notifying anyone. To complete them requires a drill press and some know-how, and legally, I may build these (without anyone else's assistance) and lawfully possess them as completed firearms without registering them federally (local statutes vary) and without requiring them to have serial numbers. I may not however, manufacture them with the intent to sell, and there are limits on how many of these I may build in a year (I think it's 50, but it's been awhile since I last looked).
Hmmm, no wonder I missed it, my karma is too low to have seen it :\
Would it be okay to understand arrays as integer indexed keys?

For example, wouldn't that mean something like:

array = [ [1,2], ["a", "b"] ]

Be the same as this:

[array]
0 = [1,2]
1 = ["a", "b"]
I would prefer INI over JSON as well except that JSON lets me nest arrays and INI doesn't. So this looks really nice.

On the other hand I'd like to mix my data types as much as I darn well please.
I don't think it was done on purpose.
AFAICT, the patents relate to the actual system tracking the buses, which does actually require hardware.
Because we need a decent human readable format
that maps to a hash and the YAML spec is like
600 pages long and gives me rage. No, JSON
doesn't count. You know why.

I do not know why, And would love if one can explain me?

Other than comments, I see not difference between both.

Also, that human readable is not an accurate, as it should be hacker readable, you know, IT folks are the only target audience of those files.

Hehe, that reminds me of iphones auto-correcting "iphone" to "iPhone". Jeez that would irritate me, I'm trying to write a text message, not look like an iDouche...
The video attached to the link, "huge vortex rotating" on that Saturn page is... not exactly what I expected.
There was a massive password leakage happened in the end of 2011 and early 2012. Probably more than 100 millions of passwords from more than ten popular websites including some popular social network websites, were made available on the internet (BT or eDonkey). The size of the password files added up to 10GB after compressed. Some significant amount of the passwords were in plain text when obtained so that with such a huge dictionary rainbow table can be used to decrypt the a large portion of rest.

So the reality is really nasty. Many of the netizen in China are somehow running naked: you can simply query the password after you get the email.
I'm just wondering what the point of having homogeneous arrays is when the dictionaries aren't...
Requirement is Not implementation
what happened is the internet
Yeah, I think there's a certain width you need to meet before growing vertically is comfortable. A 16:10 12.5" screen I have is wide enough. A 4:3 14" screen I had was barely wide enough.

Once you hit that threshold, going taller is better. And if you're going to be below that threshold anyway, going taller is better, I think.

Of course, this changes from application to application -- when I used an IDE like Visual Studio, there was no hope of putting buffers side by side, and vertical space was all that mattered.

I don't tile web browser windows, either. I'm using a 12.5" 1280x800 screen right now, and it's maximized, with the Windows taskbar on the right side. Using half the screen would be kind of pointless (I'm not reading two documents at once) and I often would like to have a taller screen when web browsing.
I don't know if you can call him "arrogant". None of it read as very serious to me, I more assumed he was just having fun.
Blocking an entire country sounds very stupid from the technological and moral point of view (and yes, it may make sense from the financial/time pov).

1) that doesn't make your shitty (lets be rough here) passwords & web apps secure. You didn't care for security yesterday, it's not going to come to you by blocking "china".

2) that doesn't stop anyone from proxying elsewhere

3) the more doing it, the more segmented the internet, the less it actually IS the internet. basically, you're breaking the fucking point of the internet (that justify the swearing.)
Moviestarplanet
Based on prior experience with "no more work from home" at a large company, I suspect this move is in part to bring the team closer together and in part to force a group of rooted employees out of the company. At least in the case when I saw this done in the past, we had a couple of folks who "worked" from home at least a few times a week. Well, they said they worked, but in reality I think they were plucking weeds in the garden, looking at LOL cats and so forth... Driving them insane by having to spend at least 8 hours in the office was a great way to have 'em retire early. </end speculation>
Build and defend!
I think that probably most US Americans would agree that it is, but mostly that's just because all people are indoctrinated into local patriotism. For whatever reasons you consider your country to be great, those reasons would apply to us as well.

People, by and large, root for the home team.

In America especially, our history books are filled with our victories, and how our revolution framed this great nation, while simultaneously omitting the horrors we committed against Native Americans. We're raised to sing "My Country Tis of Thee" and sing the Star Spangled Banner before sporting events.

We're taught about our Constitution, and our Constitutional rights, and for sure, we're taught that democracy is better than monarchies, dictatorships, patriarchies, and non-representative forms of government. If you ask anybody over the age of, say 35, how they feel about communism or socialism, they would undoubtedly tell you that it's evil. They grew up in the aftermath of the cold war, and all the popular media at the time was about spying on mother Russia, and all that nonsense. We had Rocky IV, Red Dawn, etc. I do not know, but I suspect that all localities do this, whether subconsciously or purposefully I don't know, but I believe that all people are indoctrinated to what's nearby.

For these same reasons, most people, generally speaking, adopt the religions of their parents, etc., etc.

Whether or not we'd be better off is an entirely different conversation, and there's no way that we can really know for sure, but if you ask 100 Americans, I'd be surprised if less than 98 of them told you that would in fact, be the most terrible thing in the history of terribleness, right or wrong.

Be careful though, I've heard that some (especially cheaper) lights don't filter enough UV light and that they can damage your eyes.
(author here) I find a 15" laptop to big to be useable as a laptop. My current one has a 13.3", and that's not enough to open two side-by-side documents showing 80 chars per line each, without having the fonts ridiculously small. remember that font size should be the same regardless the dpi, so having more pixels won't help if the physical size remain the same.

Hacking Men's Style: 5 "steps" to dressing with style
Deploying security analytics as a service
In JSON that datetime won't deserialize to a datetime instance in your language in a conforming parser. Further JSON has no comments (this is a killer for a configuration format).
Lack of comments is pretty much a deal breaker for configuration. I see a lot of undocumented JSON used for configuration and I find it difficult to believe that is something we want for the future.

Lack of comments makes JSON much better for data exchange than formats with comments.
Play by your own rules
A few issues (although I do use JSON in config):

It isn't a friendly form of human input. My error rate is 50%+ , you have to lint on save to catch things that are invisible to the naked eye

No ability to override, extend or reference keys. This is most useful in config objects where for eg. in a dev object you want to override the username and password for a database connection but not repeat all the other parameters

Doing something now that could easily be hurt by this. God patent trolls suck, they're making me really nervous.
A bit off topic. I FUCKING HATE this new 3D navigation shit that some websites started doing. It's slow, it jumps through pages sometimes, it's absolutely not clear where you are.
Agreed, however it's worth noting that remote work is (usually) cheaper. I don't know where Yahoo is right now, but if history has a say, the company could use a little cost-cutting. In-house employees cost more, and the CEO should know that.
I have a similar, yet different approach.

My approach also works even if git doesn't exist (by skipping vundler).

I need this since sometimes I work on systems that don't have every bell-and-whistle I could want.

Not quite sure how to say this, but what makes you so sure those countries would have turned out as they are had world history been altered by the U.S. doing things differently? You seem to assume their history is in a vacuum in some sense, unimpacted by British interaction with us. I see no reason to make such an assumption.
Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer.

Firstly, don't let them strong arm you - most patent trolls blast complaints like this to many parties at once and hope a percent of them cave without the need for court.

If this did go to court, I strongly doubt you would be found guilty of infringing on these patents. Based on your statement, it sounds like you simply made an app that converts third party API data to a UI, which wouldn't come close to either patents as they are related to the actual process of tracking vehicles, which the API provider partakes in, not you.

I would simply contact them and let them know that you don't track them yourself, you use another company. Most lawyers don't understand software, so they might be assuming you are tracking vehicles on your own. If they continue to press you past that, you might be forced to take it to court.

Best of luck and please keep us informed.
On the Possible Shapes of the Brain
I used to have an hour-long train commute to work each day, and I'd sleep as late as possible while still leaving myself enough time to catch my train. So at 5:40am my alarm would go off, and I HAD to get up. There was no snooze.

The commute is long gone but the habit of rolling out of bed immediately never broke. I'm grateful for it. I used to spend half an hour snoozing, groggily working my way out of the bed to start my day. I didn't get a whole lot of extra rest, just wasted half an hour not really sleeping, but not doing anything else either.
You need to call an attorney. Any other advice you get here is bad advice.
This blog entry presents a single argument: aspect ratios should favor a more narrow width because they should aspire to the readability of a page.

That's a single bullet point in a long pro/con list and you'll never reach consensus on the definitively correct aspect ratio. Plenty of people watch movies on their computer screens, others like having an IDE with frames on the side, others want games to spread across their horizontal field of view and some just think it looks modern. Why on earth does that make the screen ratio 'boneheaded?'

Be excited for your preference, argue the use cases that it suits, that's all fine. Maybe toss the prescriptive attitude that your opinion is categorically correct for everyone else who has not yet discovered it.
I do this, however I feel my 16:9 monitor is just a touch too thin, whereas 16:10 gives a perfect width.
Like JS from which it sprang, it lacks an integer type. Fortunately, parsers written for languages that do have integers can usually parse them correctly.

(If you don't know why this might matter, try opening your browser's Javascript console and evaluating 10000000000000001)

That's my peeve, though. I suspect that Tom is probably more concerned with readability. TOML also looks like it can be parsed a line at a time and doesn't really need to do any recursive parsing, so you could probably parse a stream of it as it arrives, which I imagine is trickier with JSON.

FWIW, It happened tn the UK, specifically in Liverpool, in Kensington ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington,_Liverpool ), where a friend lived while doing his PhD.

Forunately he was not in and the door of his room was locked (he shared the house with other guys). The burglar took lots of valuable stuff from the rooms that were unlocked (so it was not someone of the friends).
It seems to me that YAML does this better already (with parsers which are already high-quality).

If we want simplicity, then why not make sure it is a subset of YAML?
I was about to link this story back to Path of Exile folks given what's happened there. When I saw your post, I looked at your profile - nice that you're here!

For what it's worth, you should consider locking not on attempt to log in, but on successful login from abroad. This was an old problem in some Windows networks: accounts would be locked with 5 failed logins. People discovered they could lock out friends' accounts (or ahem the president's) by failing a login 5 times.

(P.S. If anyone's looking for a great way to waste more time than they should, Path of Exile is a pretty great game.)

Pretty good points. Some people don't seem to realize how important amazing content is.. It's not just about putting keywords in an article. It's about creating a resource (article, graphic, video, etc) that provides so much value that people need to share it. And that isn't easy.
Yup he does and he also games Amazon.
Not every attorney can give a good advise either. It all depends. If the advise is - settle, don't fight and etc. - it's a bad advise already.

Well in the end the idea is to pinch someone who is shouting for help. Pinching can be monetary or non monetary, but just enough to discourage cry wolfs and not to discourage genuine cases. The balance (ie intensity of pinch) is more difficult to achieve than what the pinch is.
THIS. I think Bootstrap is great for prototyping & back-end admin UIs that a developer might slap together without a designer, but the sheer number of sites that take user-facing sites to production w/ Bootstrap is disconcerting.

Firefox is blocking all third-party cookies, just ones from domains the user has never visited. So third-party widgets like Disqus and Facebook should still work.

I completely agree with Mayer. As a student that took the Babson MBA program, it was a about building the team foundation, understanding that collaboration was key. My whole team was made up of mom, dads, parents of all sorts. The key goal was to assign a task and get it done in a timely manner while achieving our best result. It taught me to push myself, push global collaboration... beginning the foundation, allows for future growth.
