The problem is that people will and do argue vehemently against your choice if you even mention what editor you use, as if it affects them personally.

I thank you for being one of the people confident and secure enough to not care, but sadly, not everyone is like you.

And at some point you have to say "Enough! This is why I made my choice. This is what I believe. Deal with it." Sometimes you have to defend yourself. Not against you, personally, richardlblair, but against people much more annoying and persistent than you.

You are exactly and completely correct, but not everyone has the provenance to be so well balanced, particularly on the Greater Internet.

My co-founder Jesse Genet and I are teaching this Skillshare class about how we crowd-funded Lumi through Kickstarter and raised over $280K.

Like many of you, Jesse and I were flying by the seat of our pants when we started Lumi. We launched our first Kickstarter campaign back in 2009 when the site was brand new, and then a second last July. We had pretty good instincts about how it would work, but have distilled them into more practical advice. These are some of the tips and cautionary tales of crowd-funding I wish I had heard 3 years ago.

We’ve run the workshop in person with great success (see Skillshare endorsements). Would love to see some of you join in.

It is a huge stretch- at least partly because there is no third party verification that Adria's blog is actually victim to a DDOS attack, as far as I know. I'm not accusing her of lying, just that "a huge, huge number of people reading your blog post" can look a lot like a DDOS attack if you're running an unoptimised version of Wordpress, or similar.

Keep in mind that the S3 Virgnia location (known as US Standard Regionin AWS terms) includes endpoints in Virginia and in the Pacific Northwest. Hence that may be why the Virginia to Virginia numbers were high compared to the other regions.

"The US Standard Region automatically routes requests to facilities in Northern Virginia or the Pacific Northwest using network maps."

> I was under the impression that C++ optimizations were expensive (say, under -O3 or -Os), so I wish that the same test were run under -O3 or -Os (comparing both the speed of compilation AND the optimizations)

What optimizations are available to the C subset of C++ that are not also available to C? The only thing I can think of offhand which would make compilation of C-with-C++ slower is the difference in symbol naming.

From what I understand of GCC, once the compilation has progressed to the optimization stage the code has already been converted to an intermediate language so the source frontend (gcc or g++) should not necessarily make available extra optimization passes. Again, this is speaking strictly of the subset of C which is common to both C and C++.

I haven't looked at the source code but according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Using_the_Page_..., you can simply register a onblur / onfocus event handler on the window object (this doesn't use the recent Page Visibility API, it's been possible for a long time)
That is hardly any proof?!
OK, so how do you deal with a world where:

- Many people never abandon their primary identity email.
- But many other people often abandon their email identity.
- You don't want to use a social network as the gatekeeper to *your* site.
- You don't want to have human support for password resets.

I've not heard of anyone using IronRuby in earnest, and it doesn't seem to have been updated in a couple of years. Is it a realistic option?
First option: don't directly modify code on servers. Deploy it.

Second option: Use sshfs and autofs. Works straight at kernel's VFS layer, which is IMHO way saner than any kludges like netrw/rsub/TRAMP/etc.

If an IP address does not have a history of sending [large amounts of] email it is considered "cold". If that IP address then suddenly begins sending huge numbers of emails, many providers will assume the worst (that the email is being used for SPAM) and either block the IP or mark messages coming from it as SPAM. "Warming up" the IP means sending a smaller number of emails (per time period) and slowly increasing the volume so that Email providers can properly "score" the IP as legit and okay in their systems.

Update: For some reason I couldn't reply to your response kstrauser so here is my reply: That works if and when their is trust. First you have trust the buyer isn't going to abuse the system and wreck the IP [reputation] and you have to trust the buyer isn't giving you stolen info. Obviously things one can work through but again, it involves trust. Also the provider has to have warmed up IPs to give out. Which, having warmed up IPs would actually be a great valued add upsell for those that need them!

Update 2: Thank you FfejL and symfoniq for explaining it better.

There have been so many startups over the years that have tried to replace Ebay. They almost always failed.

Why?

1) Buyers need to trust the sellers and without the history and system already in place, it's not going to happen. You didn't need this system in place when Ebay started, because it was such a new idea.

2) Without the buyers, the sellers won't bother. I've been a seller for a couple of years and all of the smaller sites combined don't even compare to the number of sales I get on Ebay (Amazon is the other big marketplace).

I don't even waste my time on the other sites anymore.
I read that part, which says nothing about what the person above me was saying.

This is the statement being contested:

> that very code says that you are not supposed to take a picture of someone without their express permission.

So, unless you can produce something that says this, it's a lie.

As for this:

> harassing photography or recording

It didn't happen.
> people in the tech field are so against a woman

This is not because she's a woman. Even if a man had done such a "stupid" thing (according to DDOS-ers), the result would have been the same.
It's uncharitable of you to assume she can't tell the difference between a botnet and a spike in traffic. The "third-party verification" is that her site came back online after implementing CloudFlare's DDoS mitigation.

> I am not entirely sure why, but what's happening is that in most ceramics, a scratch creates a place where the stresses inside the material get amplified in a way that doesn't exist with metals. So in metals those cracks also don't like to propagate much; it's really in glass where you see cracks propagate through the whole material.

Covalent versus metallic bonds between atoms.

You can model glass like a bunch of tiny spheres (atoms) joined by sticks (covalent bonds). You break a stick by moving two balls, it tends to stay broken most of the time.

You can model metals like a bunch of tiny spheres (atoms) submerged in a glue-y fluid (cloud of shared electrons that makes the metallic bonds). You can move the balls around within that sticky cloud, to some extent.

The comparison is very, very metaphorical, but it gives an idea why metals are more resilient to cracking.

Yeah, or, people use eBay and Facebook because that is what everyone else uses and those sorts of websites are useless unless there are lots of other people using them.
It's totally unfunny and tasteless, I agree. That doesn't make it worth the hullabaloo that it caused. And I think that's the point.
Can you clarify why you are doing this meal replacement?

Are you trying to lose weight, therefore using the replacement shake so you dont consume more food than you should?

Do you just not have time to make a lunch, so this is easier?

Does going out or food in general not taste how you think it should anymore?

I ask because over the last few years I struggled with weight. I was up to 230, then down to 196, then back to 216 and now to 200. For me, I just love food.

I have been juice fasting for breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack and eating a sensible dinner and this has made all the difference. It was hard to start doing this. It is very hard to do a complete juice fast as we are groomed to eat.

There is a good documentary: "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" by Joe Cross. Netflix has it. It is funny and informative.

I know this may not be what you are looking for, just trying to offer another prospective from my own experience.

3 Machine Learning Mistakes I Made (Often)
I disagree that you have "to read at least two books" about Vim to use it well. I learned it by co-workers, the web (pre-Google no less), and mostly through the Vim help itself.
Compilation of PETSc, which is written in the intersection of C and C++, takes twice as long using a C++ compiler as using a C compiler. I'd be interested in the time difference for compiling GCC.
I merely bought and installed an xbox 360, and now I have a small number of windows live or hotmail or xbox accounts, I haven no idea which are distinct accounts and which are linked in some way. Ptthht, ptthht. Trying to cancel the auto re-up of their gold account was a nightmare of circular hate. Ptthht.
PV is coming down in cost precipitously. Energy companies are buying huge PV farms. Their cost of energy will drop.

Utilities are regulated to limit their rates to guarantee minimum profitability, so their price must be correlated to their cost.

Ergo, electricity costs will drop. Your rooftop PV system is never going to be much cheaper, if ever cheaper at all, than the electricity that the utility will provide from utility scale PV that has been installed much more cheaply, and much more optimized than the arbitrary orientation of your roof.

This is kinda different in that the mobile device doesn't need a custom app on it to act as the controller (as in your Brass Monkey example), but can act as the controller directly within the browser. No extra installations, just hit up the website and go.

<long description of PCB design with iteration and unit testing snipped>

Guess what? That's called iterative design, and some very quality software is made the same way. It also has nothing whatsoever to do with arguing against using proper tools.

Here's a question: if your EE had to stop to deal with some clumsy tool (say, a soldering iron that was too big or had a badly designed handle), how badly would that impact his workflow? That's what people are talking about when they say that using the mouse when editing code (a purely textual medium, I might add) is a cache miss.
eBay has been moving away from individual sellers and trying to court larger scale "shops" for several years now. It's pretty terrible for anyone who isn't doing it fulltime.

Men are less likely to report sexual assault and rape against them than women are, for a number of reasons. One being that rape is defined as being penetrated against your will, and not being made to penetrate against your will.

Any study that counts convictions, or even complaints, it going to underestimate male victimhood.

You need to look at victim surveys to have any hope of estimating how many man are raped, and how many women rape.

See my other post in this thread for details on that.
It's uncharitable of you to assume she can't tell the difference between a botnet and a spike in traffic.

I don't think so. It's incredibly difficult to tell the difference, given that a DDOS is a huge spike in traffic.

I like Sublime Text, but I really can't use it for what I need a text editor for, which is Clojure. It is ridiculously bad at indenting/formatting Clojure and when I used it for any length of time I spent more time fixing the code it mutilated than I did actually working. I posted this bug report ages ago. If you're interested in doing Clojure in Sublime Text, upvote it! http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/98139-clojure-auto-ind...
Of course, the other possible conclusion from positing that drugs == fast food is that drugs should be legal.
> Metals are able to deform plastically. A metallic bond is not so directional, and you typically thing of all the molecules in a metal as a big blob with a cloud of electrons that can freely move about (also the reason for good electrical conductivity).

Also the reason why metals absorb electromagnetic radiation on a very broad spectrum.

Which means it's very difficult, if not impossible, to make materials that behave mechanically like metals (hard, yet not fragile) but are transparent.
Getting a dart VM implemented in browsers is a bonus, not the end goal. The fact that dart2js is being improved should indicate this.

Dart isn't "yet another" compile-to-js solution. It's the most fully fledged one. Coffeescript is just a loose set of macros that still looks and smells like javascript. Typescript is just statically typed javascript. Dart is a fully-fledged language with its own complete IDE and a lot of new trendy features.
wow, so a large open source language that is used on many different platforms has bugs?

I can also point to all of the recent security flaws found in Ruby..
Obviously I'm not arguing that Richards behaved appropriately in publicly shaming them. I'm saying that they behaved inappropriately in making the joke in the first place, and that there's nothing scary or totalitarian about a privately run conference having a code of conduct asking people to act professionally.

Of course, the proper way to handle this would have been for Richards to talk to someone running the conference. They would have then gone to the people who were making the inappropriate jokes and asked them to remember that this was a professional environment, upon which apologies would have been given, and that would have been the end of it.
>You are speculating about someone else's motives and conduct.

Speculating? There were actual actions.

Not to mention that she speculated about someone else's motives -- that he told a casual fucking joke to his pal because he was sexist, that he was responsible for women not going into tech, etc.

Was the joke immature? Maybe. Should we socially crucify Kevin Smith and anybody that ever made a similar joke?

And more importantly, was it addressed to her? No.

I'm beyond outrage by such disgusting behavior.

Not only did she EAVESDROP on a private conversation (which is horrible in itself), she also made it public, with a totally unnecessary picture of the persons talking, and made someone lose his job over a joke.

She deserves to be taken out of the tech world and fired to taste her own medicine.

>Also, private conversations held in public are no longer private.

Really? Talking to your friend in the cinema, a conference or anywhere, is as private as it gets. He didn't say it addressing a large company. How you'd like to be followed in public by someone with a recording machine and expose your every idiotic comment to the world?
doesn't load on my machine.
First, nobody cares whether or not she was a she or a he or an it. Her actions were objectively ridiculous and harmful to both general civility and gender relations in the community. Largely because SHE made it a gender issue (saving future women programmers? joan of arc?)

Second, she wasn't "standing up" for herself because nobody wronged her. Overhearing a third-party say something about a dongle that you construe in a sexual light isn't being wronged, and the world doesn't require you to "stand up" to it.

"vanity of a byline"
"I no longer can introduce myself as a reporter and watch people’s eyes light up"

I was a TV producer and can relate. Part of the attraction was to be where the action is, but increasingly main stream media is not that place. A byline does not necessarily equal impact.

I quit and co-founded a startup that will do more for journalism than my work in TV, but in a less public way that people can't relate to. Media Spot Me is for journalists to discover people to interview. Something that was a central pain-point of mine.

I still appreciate the possibility of the media but like you said it is not as sexy inside as it sounds when talking about it to others.

Am I the only person in the world who:

a) Never thought vim was that hard to learn (and I first learned it when I was a teenager and nobody helped me. I switched when someone on a MUD made fun of me for using pico.)

Yeah, I was rocking vi in high school, and I'm no genius, I had an ULTRIX vi reference card. The article's assertion that you have to read any books to use vim effectively is bullshit. As for the religion part, that usually comes in when someone tries to dictate what editor other people will use. I don't give a shit if someone on my project uses Eclipse or MSVS, just don't take my Emacs away.
