OK so weirdly, he claims PHP is dead but actually specifically says he's comparing two frameworks. So, does that mean because Rails recently had a heap of vulnerabilities, Ruby is automatically insecure?

No.

There is a difference between a language and a framework. That Flow is yet another attempt at an "Enterprisey" mvc framework for PHP is a fault of the developers of Flow, not the language it's written in.
Right: we "rescued" a lab who has been great, but had a lot of anxiety built up over being simply being left alone. People coming by the door eventually led to him destroying the front entryway.

The result: we started anxiety training, which has been effective. And a lot of work. Plus, not all dog trainers do this sort of thing, so it's a little pricier than most dog training. And, we as owners also needed some education on how to work with the dog. Considering that both me and my girlfriend grew up with animals (my dad is a vet, we always had animals), I would consider this point important; anxiety cases are not easy and not obvious for most pet owners to just figure out.

While puppies do require attention, they are a lot easier to learn to handle than an anxiety case. Anyone adopting an adult pet should be aware of the potential training costs, with medication, can extend well above $1000 USD. (And if the dog decides to destroy your furniture, well, there's that, too.)

I know I will think twice before adopting an adult dog in the future.
Is there a list of changes anywhere?
I see the article as showing what could be done even with today's technology. The only bottleneck I see is lack of high speed wirless connectivity and a large user-base.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if this becomes standard in 50-100 years as you can't really stop the march of technology and miniaturization. Will it be Google that does this or someone else? It doesn't really matter. It is something to be aware of.

Just because the integration of all these disparate technologies and services hasn't happened doesn't mean it won't.
I just did the same thing. Two phishing scams sent to my unique Dropbox address, including one from the nacha.org scam mentioned in the original thread.
oh. Thanks.

It's not a problem when using 'clj' from the command line.

Here are some other issues I ran into (FWIW):

- println works, but print doesn't.
- I was expecting cmd+A and then cmd+enter to evaluate everything.
- Why are there (seemingly) no shortcuts for the command bar?
- Activating 'Make current editor and instarepl' twice in a row, clears all the text in the editor… that's weird
- The text cursor got confused at some point

But I guess it's an alpha version. :)
Definitions vary, but I consider "third party promotions" to be spam.
In the absence of any other information, any reasonable person would assume that the "Moderators" are Dropbox employees.
A lot of the counter argument is based on FUD and bad experiences with OTHER rolling release distros. I'm not sure we can look at Gentoo or Arch as examples of what Ubuntu would be aiming to do (and I say this as an Arch user).

Within the proposal, it states that packages would be released when ready, and when stable. This doesn't mean that you are going to live on the bleeding edge like an Arch or Gentoo user may. You're going to get the updates after Ubuntu has done QA on them, and the maintainer will probably be peeking at bug trackers on other distros for tips on issues (Arch and Gentoo effectively expand their QA process).

It is true that there will probably be periodic UI changes in some of the applications. It is not necessarily true that these changes will happen any more frequently than they do now (since each application has different life cycles). What will happen is you will potentially not need to wait 6+ months to get a new version of a package with a fix or improvement that is important to you.

If it lets them spend more time on QA and development rather than arbitrary deadlines and bundling, this sounds like a win-win to me. If and when problems happen, they'll get it figured out and hopefully not repeat their mistakes.

Having owned a lab without a fenced yard and a working spouse, I'd say this is probably a good policy.
This is where it used to live:

http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/changelog.php

However, it's not working at the moment.
There are two points against this:

1. They could underestimate the effort needed. Continously integrating the packages from sid and upstream and the own development effort, all without breaking for the user, without having targeted maintainers per package, is quite an effort.

The mechanisms Gentoo has in place to manage this don't seem fitting for Ubuntu.

2. The half-year release circle gives users a sense of the progress made. Even while using a LTS-release, observing the new releases i can see where Ubuntu is heading to, what is changing and what to expect for the next LTS. The releases give Ubuntu opportunity to talk about their changes.

Not saying it can't work or it is a bad idea (I don't have enough experience maintaining, especially not a distro, to judge). I see the positive aspects and the proposal sounds reasonable.

Even for a $1 billion pharmaceutical drug, 20 years is quite a long time to recover your investment. For something that costs a small fraction of that to develop, it's an eternity.

For a patent covering a trivial software idea, it's ludicrous.

I'd be happy with a system that gives five years by default, using the current process. Twenty years only if you can easily prove non-obviousness and significant research investment.
And which sugars too? Most of us would assume this means glucose, but what if fructose is also a factor? Could fruit cause diabetes? Or perhaps the galactose in milk? Sugar alcohols?

Because it's a good example of how ready some people are for disruption. What seems disrupting in a negative way to some people can make others' lives simpler. Removing the obstacles to gay marriage (or legalizing, but that sort of implies that it wasn't already a constitutional right) is one such case.
I'm seeing this as yet another attempt by people to justify their own poor health. Clearly it cannot possibly be their portions that are to blame, but rather society, big bones, genetics, and now the food itself being "toxic". Anything to avoid reality.

This paragraph demonstrates a widely held, thinly veiled contempt for those with a less fortunate metabolism. This contempt is disgusting, because it is willfully ignorant of all the scientific research that indicates there is a lot more than mere willpower that determines a person's behavior, including eating habits.

As with any religiously held position of superiority, people will continue to justify this contempt with all manner of carefully worded excuses for their desire to feel better than those fat people over there. When does it end?

I think it is no coincidence that the sensational spin the news has put on this story also happens to be a spin that makes their readers feel better about themselves.

What point are you trying to make? That the news should be trying to make people hate themselves more than they already do? Good grief! This research isn't about justifying behavior, it's about identifying the chemical processes driving various metabolic phenomena so they can be controlled and corrected!

You know what about this reseasrch would make an obese reader feel better about himself or herself? It's the fact that, finally, someone has identified a specific mechanism that is causing their problems! It's the hope that comes from having a direction of attack that's more effective than self deprivation.
> Every distro should parse the PEs and add every key of every 3rd part module they wish to allow to run and embed these in their signed kernels, issuing a new kernel every time a driver revs.

Why do they have to embed the ID of whitelisted modules in the signed kernel? Why not have a kernel that will load any module the root user tells it to load, then have userland insmod utility verify the signatures using a configuration file like /etc/accepted_module_signers.conf?
I think because we do a lot of "sky is falling", "everyone in charge is hopelessly clueless" etc. around here, sometimes we just need some good news about things going right once in a while. Even if its a bit off topic.
Yeah, you would think they would at least provide a changelog. I'm curious if there are changes incompatible with v3.
> Yes, and many vets recommend horrible things like declawing.

Is that really that bad? I'll admit that in the past I've had indoor cats declawed, which frankly really made my life easier. That's a bit selfish, I admit, but I also didn't see any negative aspect to the cat's behavior compared to other (clawed) cats I've had.

> Yes, vets do have an unfortunate financial motivation that is often at odds with the best interests of the animals.

So do human doctors, and yet we trust them or get second opinions when things don't make sense to us. I try to treat my pets the same way.
> [...] it seems like your e-mail may be used by Intuit for promotion or by third-parties bound by the same privacy policies, but certainly not sold for spam

Same difference in my book. If you are not the original entity that I supplied my address to, and I get email from some 3rd party, that's SPAM. Sure, you could argue that it's in the T&C and that I "agreed" to it, but it's still SPAM the way I see it. And since it's a 3rd party, then that'd mean my information was sold (or otherwise bartered/traded).

Personally, I just found built up some savings to give myself a runway, found two small-ish but workable projects/clients, and quit my job...

It was a bit easier because I was not making a lot at the job anyhow-- I basically had to sell one small project a month to replace the income on the job (maybe 3 or 4 days of work), but after that I simply tried to be nice to folks, super available, and really knowledgable. Your situation may be different.

It doesn't hurt that I'm 90mi outside of Austin, so there are a) no jobs here to tempt me, and b) a whole lot of possible work within a small drive.

But I also have to have a lot more going on than just my specific tool chain of computer skills-- I have to do a lot of business strategy and networking things, even if that usually just means eating lunch with folks I've worked with just to keep in touch.
It doesn't even mean glucose. Glucose is, as best we can tell, just fine. Which is almost a given, considering "blood sugar"- a key way your body distributes energy to your cells- is glucose.

Most studies that conclude "sugar" is "toxic" are talking about fructose, which is metabolized differently than glucose. This means fructose (e.g. HFCS) and sucrose (table sugar, e.g. cane sugar)

The fast path is for most languages where the text glyphs are placed in order. The complex path is for languages where the shape and size of a glyph depends on the characters around it. For example, Arabic text or Thai text would go through the complex code path. There are some other cases where the complex text path is used (I think "text-rendering: optimizeLegibility" forces the complex text path).

In Safari and most of the time on Chromium Mac, the complex code path is handled by CoreText. In other Chromium ports and on Blackberry, complex text is handled by Harfbuzz-NG, which is also used by Firefox.
I checked my e-mail accout that I used for dropbox and There is a spam mail coming from ...@direct.nacha.org which is the same domain which one of the customer in forum received. So it seems they are right, this is not a random guess.
I've tried to use this system in the past, but found it to be a PITA. A lot of email systems won't let you use a +. The other gotcha I get is that they use the email address as a login token (Dropbox, for example). So you have to remember a) that you used a token and b) what it was. Any suggestions on approaching these?
He's comparing Flow vs Rails, which is fair enough. Laravel vs Rails will be nice tho. BTW, Flow seems like Java to me, :-P.
Think about it this way: How would you like to find out that a really really rad service whose website you just found is only available in Liechtenstein and Iceland? That's how you want to present your geo-restriction.

What parent suggests is a great idea but doesn't work by itself, because it doesn't work for everyone. I for example am physically located in the USA but I am still only interested in services that work in Germany. In addition to that scenario, I know plenty of people who could be your target audience and who obfuscate their physical location through proxies and VPNs, usually in order to use US-only services.

I suggest you simply adding it to the text:

Accept credit cards and debit bank accounts for your US-based business. Proceeds are available immediately.

Notice the difference? If not, read again. Those who care will notice it, for all others it's two words they ignore.

See drones in Pakistan, and collateral damage in the most recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq - then there is the support of the IDF in Israel. I could go back further but there is little point - it was a different administration, a long time ago etc. even if the same mistakes are being repeated.

The one thing learned from the Vietnam war being made so public seems to be 'control the media better' rather than 'war crimes are wrong'...

Any source of figures I quote is going to be suspect so I invite you to find your own an make your own judgement. I prefer Wikipedia to demonstrate how easily uncovered this information, or at least the suggestion of it is. Some official statements on the matter downplay the issues even by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude...

A quick browse of wikipedia on these matters gives a good overview of how confused the situation is... In particular even US allies do not agree with various statements from inside the US that the number of innocent deaths is as low as 'double figures'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_attacks_in_Pakistan

For Iraq I believe the consensus is that civilian Iraqi deaths outweighed US military deaths somewhere between 15 and 250 times. There is a nice table with cited sources again on Wikipedia...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War

The cleanest cut case is perhaps Israel, where many Israeli organisations themselves keep track of figures. I think nobody disagrees that the IDF have killed more Palestinian children, than Israelis in total have ever been killed by Palestinian terror attacks. This is an organisation which is funded in part by US aid at a time when the money could be better spent back home helping the economy...

e.g. http://www.btselem.org/statistics/fatalities/any/by-date-of-...

... and yes, going to prison in the US for 30 years would be an improvement in quality of life for most of the world's population.

There is a reason why the US is so often loathed by Arabs and its nothing to do with Islam, fanaticism or oil...

From this forum "experience", it seems they have copied the Google model of service. They offer the support forum as a major source of support and promote heavy users to moderators or give them some other special flair. Mind you, normal users, without any inside access, information or capabilities. These users then spend their time flagging down support requests and blaming the posters.

> Too much fructose is the problem.

Or maybe the problem is that your portions could be small and still contain too much fructose. I remember watching a talk where speaker claimed it's not easy to find just some bread without added fructose at a grocery store nowadays (I think it was Dr. Lustig's presentation, actually).

While the use of terms rails and ruby is confused in the article, the actual content is using two frameworks with similar goals and similar sounding philosophies to compare what what the languages can offer for a framework developer.

That to me sounds like a fair way to approach it. Having said that, my experience of the PHP framework is this post, and while the goals sound similar, the teams behind them could be interpreting them in very different ways, which wooild lead to the differences seen.
