Flying mounts are a plot failure almost every time they are brought up in fantastic stories. Most fantastic stories revolve around a perilous journey through harsh environments and monster lairs.

This happens in a good number of movies such as Clash of the Titans where they journey to get the medusa's head, but return on flying pegasus. This also happens in Dungeons & Dragons (2000).

Morale : Do not add flying mounts to your scenario, or have your characters fly all the time, otherwise it makes no sense

> Even if Sauron can cause Mt. Doom to erupt immediately, we know from the actual story that the eagles are capable of navigating into Mordor and locating and rescuing Frodo and Sam, despite the major eruption which was taking place. Even if Sauron did manage to catch the eagles in the eruption, however, could this melt the Ring? If Sauron does manage to figure out that the eagles are carrying the Ringbearer, he might opt not to cause Mt. Doom to erupt, just for this very reason.

This suggests a far better option: Sauron could have cooled down mount doom, and then when the eagles arrived there would be nothing they could do to destroy the ring. Meanwhile a massive army from all over Mordor would be building up around them, and the Nazgul would be on their way to capture the ring before they could get out of Mordor. Of course this does not counter the argument that the option was not even discussed.

They are using "number of searches people initiate," but "number of hits in the search engine." I would think that the number of hits in the search engine wouldn't be a function of how often one is required to Google for an answer.
When these discussions come up people often mention the Steelcase Leap as an equal. Find a local store that sells them and try them all out. For me the major distinguishing point was the lower back support. The cheaper Aeron version would dig into my back while the Leap had some flexibility to it. I'm not sure if the higher end Aeron chair would have been superior with the contouring lower back support but I'm glad I got the Leap over the base Aeron model.

I developed a horrible pain in my right wrist at the age of 20, during my first software development internship. Any motion I made with the mouse was torture. I had to start using the mouse with my left hand to do work at all.

The pain is gone now, but I take ergonomics quite a bit more seriously. I'm considering getting a split keyboard, although it breaks my heart to have to get rid of my clicky das.
The Eagles are not bound by earthlings. That is something that the dialogues between Gandalf and Thorondor sets clear.

It is akin to Tom Bombadil's unwillingness to keep the ring and/or defend Middle Earth: in some sense, it is not their problem (as in NMP).

So: they could have done the job but they probably would not have gone to the meetings or accept it because they are above that issue.
Yep. And the same goes for iOS, too. I've taken a peek at the official Dropbox iOS app's API key and secret in the past just for fun, though I didn't go so far as to post them on Github.

Is there a command/short-cut to storing the path(s) returned from a find command? Currently I do something like:

find . -name somefile.txt -print

Then copy and paste the results manually into a cd command for example. I feel like there's a much better way somewhere.
How so?

Also, I find that if I'm going to copy the data once, I'm often going to copy it twice, or which to get a more up to date version of it at a later time. Rsync clearly wins in these cases.

Finally, from the compress flag on rsync:
Note that this option typically achieves better compression ratios than can be achieved by using a compressing remote shell or a compressing transport because it takes advantage of the implicit information in the matching data blocks that are not explicitly sent over the connection.

Yep, as even if you assumed half of that were correct, it wouldn't change the fact that Russia and China have absolutely no desire to commit suicide by nuclear war, and particularly over North Korea.

If those countries wanted to commit nuclear suicide, they could have and would have done it a long time ago. The past had a lot more provocations that could have been used to justify it, than the recent times have.
I think this is exactly right. The difusion of this tech would give this kind of public recording public legitimacy. While recording in public is legal, it's still viewed as creepy --but ubiquitousness would make this 'normal' and accepted.

Just as 20 years ago appearing that you were talking to yourself would have been odd, now talking out loud is normal because people have internalized that speaking into a phone's wireless mic is normal.

Getting sandbox escapes from Mac Safari and iOS Safari requires completely different exploits. The code execution stage of a complete exploit could be shared, but it could also be shared with Chrome. So you'd think the same argument of iOS Safari exploit market value would apply either way.

My theory is that not much research has been done yet on breaking the WebProcess sandbox. Which makes me sad.

This story made me happy.

I took a negotiation class a few years ago running through some examples where each side had to negotiate X and got crib sheets talking about what were the different aspects of the negotiation and how much each aspect meant to each person.

We did the exercises and learned lessons but one thing I noticed was that if we threw out conventional negotiation tactics and instead just showed the other person what our value assignment to each aspect was we both ended up maximizing our utility from the negotiation event. So you would think that it would be great to just be an open book when entering a negotiation right?

The problem is that as soon as one person hides any information then the trust factor that makes this work is broken. And for whatever reason (pride or lack of authority) this happens all the time in real life.

That's why I liked this story. Apparently both parties came to the table open and honest about what they wanted and the outcome I thought was favorable to both parties.
Linode have stackscripts, so you actually could do without Chef with a well structured bash script.

I have asked Digital Ocean about the possibility for Stackscripts, and I don't think they have planned for it, sadly.

It is nice to order a server, choose a stackscript, and have a server to deploy to without even logging in on the instance.
Not so sure about last pass. I just wish everything legitimate just had an option to sign in with Google.
It's interesting that you need negative numbers in order to prove certain statements containing only positive numbers.

It's analogous to needing complex numbers to prove certain things about reals.
Icahn Threatens Dell With "Years of Litigation" Over Buyout
An older brother of mine did a master's thesis on Tolkien. One thing he studied in particular is the role that Tolkien's wartime experiences had on his portrayal in the Lord of the Rings.

On air power, he explained to me that in WW I airplanes had a great psychological impact, but little practical ones. You see this very clearly in the portrayal of the Nazgul in battle. Where ever you see the Nazgul go, there is great fear and despair. However the flying Nazgul don't actually kill many people or do much damage.

It is also worth noting that in WW I airplanes could only be used during the day, because at night the pilots got disoriented and would hit the ground.

Edit I was wrong about airplanes only being used during the day. They were used at night, albeit with major practical difficulties.

Is there really a plan, though? I mean the 'Eagle Plan' seems much more viable than the 'Fellowship Plan'. The fellowship was so bad it even included a couple humans who were pre-disposed to the rings affects and, as such, didn't last too long.

No, because JVM numeric libraries are awful, and, because the Clojure community leans toward things like web development instead of scientific computing, there are seldom Clojure wrappers available for them. Incanter, for example, isn't even maintained anymore.

It is a shame, because Clojure is a better language.

What's not keyboard friendly about explorer? I find it very easy to work with, actually one of the most keyboard friendly programs i have! Arrows and typing for navigation, (shift+)tab for jumping from tree to file list(without mouse you actually get used to working without tree-view, i have mine always hidden), ctrl+c/v/x = duh. F2=Rename, Ctrl+shift+n = new folder. Alt+Up = Up, Alt+left/right = back/forward. Alt+D = Navigation bar(with autocomplete!). Ctrl+E = Search. Alt+P = Preview, Contextmenubutton alone = right mouse button (i'm surprised many people don't know about this button), this contains almost all the remaining things you need that don't have a dedicated hotkey, and even this list can be navigated quickly with the keyboard, for example Contextmenubutton+R = Properties, Or N for SendTo.

Frequently working with two different folders? open a new window(Ctrl+N) and dock one window on each side of the screen with win+left/right. Then simply alt+tab between them, or use the win+nr if you have it docked on your taskbar.

The only thing i'm missing for keyboard navigation is a hotkey to toggle navigation bar on/off and a more sleek autocomplete, such as visual studios or quicksilver.

Arduino-Powered Paintball Sentry Shoots With a Tweet
It seems to me, after creating several apps of my own, that the App Store is meant to reward outliers, not make sure everyone gets in front of people.

We've released a few apps and found that the most successful were the ones which didn't fit any basic mold. At the same time, the more apps we make, the better we do.

andymoe's friend is the kind of story that Apple wants to have seen and they curate and control the medium to make it easier for people like that to succeed. I'm not saying they do the best job of it - crap copycat apps are in there too - but they have made a great medium for the persistent, innovative and determined developer to succeed.

Of course, when you make a medium that rewards persistence, unfortunately copycats can also succeed because they can be persisten too. Take the good with the bad.

Yeah, if the icon in discussion is pixel for pixel identical to the "original", including the dithering and anti-aliasing, that would prove copying.

But they have just similar concepts and colors. One black shoe might seem similar to another, but they don't infringe on copyright. One fashion creation from Zara might be quite similar to another one from a no-name, but if they slightly move one button or pocket, it's a new design.

Excellent suggestion, thanks! Trying it out right now.
Restaurants are a burst capacity problem. In a typical restaurant from 11ish to 1sh you have a burst of traffic then from 1ish to 5ish you have low to no traffic. Once the dinner crowd comes in you'll have another burst of traffic that can vary greatly per weekday (monday nights, low traffic - friday nights, high traffic). You run in to the problem were many employees (waiters) want a full time job but you can only afford a few of them.

In many food service types they've (as the parent stated) got rid of the waiters all together (increased unemployment) and only kept the staff that would need to be there regardless of traffic amount.
Somewhat curiously, the "deus ex machina," usually referred to as cheap trick in contemporary commentary on literature/theatre/film, was an expected and appropriate resolution in classical theatre. One might find in Fortinbras Shakespeare's own descending god, although he presides over a funeral rather than a positive resolution (the preferred outcome of virtually all American theatre).
From Unfinished Tales-The Istari:

"Eagles are Manwe’s birds, and they play a much more interventioinst role in the earlier ages because the Valar played a more interevtionist role in earlier ages of ME. The Eagles thus effectively withdraw in the Third Age other than for the intervention at Orthanc and at Mount Doom, as the Valar themselves no longer directly intervene-using instead the Istari, who themselves have strict limtations placed on their powers"
Right, the author stated that he had a couple of thousand sales. The app is offered for £0.79. That means he earned at least £1100 ($1650). Not bad given that the app has been in the App Store for two weeks.
It was at least true in the past. Whether China, with their changing politics, culture and economy, still feel that way today, is a big question. I'd certainly believe the equation is very different in their eyes now (different in the sense of the consequences, China has a lot more to lose these days having come so far).

Before North Korea had a nuclear weapon, much less the ability to build numerous of them, China propped up North Korea in countless ways for decades (from food to weapons to moral support). China could have very trivially killed Kim (or requested his overthrow), with absolutely no consequences. It's not like the weak and vastly smaller North Korean army was going to invade China, particularly after the Kims were gone.

I believe China could still dismantle North Korea. I think their fear is the chaos that could follow, from millions of refuges to perhaps a new military dictatorship to loose nukes.
There's a middle ground that's kind of lost in this argument: create a 'rolling' distribution and cut-and-stabilize LTS releases from it. This is kind of how I treat 'testing' in Debian and I've only seen a problem once in 5 years. If you want stability and consistency, use an LTS release. If you want more recent software, use the 'rolling' release. While this is mentioned in TFA ("edge"), it's glossed over.
>for example this javascript will run in Chrome for all Chrome > build xyz? It was simpler (not saying better, just simpler) to V2.5 or later supports this

On a related note, a few years ago I went from assigning version numbers to the releases of some of my projects to simple date-based versions (e.g., "version 20130307"). One of the reasons I switched to using dates is that beyond v1.0 it's often hard to assign versions to software in a meaningful fashion (is our next release a "v3.0" or a "v2.1"?); that is especially true if your software isn't of the commercial variety where a major version increase hinges on the question of "is this substantially different to charge an upgrade fee of $N for?". One exception to this naming rule is that I assign low numerical versions (e.g., "v0.03") to early code to indicate its quality.

What would you say about this practice vs. build numbers or traditional version numbers?

Edit: To clarify, I don't think this alone constitutes going rolling release.

Overall, I found it pleasant to not have to think about version numbering. Release dates also seem to be easier to remember and interpret than mere build numbers (a half-forgotten date like "201207..." is easier to pin down than "build 12573... something")

It's weird that so many people believe we aren't at war, like they really can't get their heads around the fact that we declared war on a brand name and unlike the "war on drugs" it was an actual war.
In what ways is Iran's leadership more "willing to commit suicide" than North Korea's leadership? We know North Korea has nuclear weapons and they have directly threatened to use them against the US. We don't know Iran has nuclear weapons and, AFAIK, they have not threatened the US. Iran has threatened Israel, but Iran is responding to actual military strikes from Israel. Also, Iran has shown for the decades that they (most likely) won't act on their threats.
JRRT, in fact, loathed airplanes and forbade his son from flying in one. Numerous quotations on the horrors of modern technology (airplanes foremost among them) can be found in his letters to Christopher.
I prefer Python for a lot of reasons. The reality of the matter is that, by some accounts, there are over ten times more PHP programmers than Python.

This is changing, which is good.
> Go does not allow many basic types, such as strings or booleans, to be nil. Instead, when a type is initialized without a value, it defaults to the “zero value” for that type. This is frequently useful, but complicates database interactions, where null values are common.

This sounds like they weren't defining their types properly.

If your value can potentially be null, it should be a pointer to the type, not the type itself. A string can't be null, but a pointer to a string can.

(In fact, there's no magic going on here - 'nil' is simply the zero value of a pointer. So you always get the zero value - you just need to choose the type that has the zero value you want... which is, in this case, a pointer, not a value).

As explained well in this thread[0], this is the most accurate representation of the data itself. You could create your own type that automatically decodes all null values to whatever the zero value is (empty string, etc)., but then you lose that information.

Yes, this forces you to do a check for the null value before using the data for the first time (or to invent your own monad for abstracting this), but at a high level, that's what you have to do in every language.
