As far as I know, Spamhaus doesn't block anything. They just maintain a list of IPs they see spam-like activity coming from. The actual blocking is implemented by whoever is using Spamhaus for their blacklist. Your beef is with the admins who block everything based on a single blacklist.
I don't think it's in any country's interest to do a nuclear attack with anything but a blow that would cripple response, a small nuclear warhead seems like an invitation to go from tolerated and accepted to hated.
The problem is that lay people have essentially no ability to distinguish between potential 'last shots'. And exemptions will invite snake-oil salesmen.

So because some people will be duped, let's doom everyone to death.

Are algorithms invented, or discovered? Did they, like geometry, exist in a platonic state before human thought? See Neal Stephenson's great ANATHEM.
Scientific publishers (as it stands) provide 3 services (publishing, filtering, accreditation) - these could be decoupled and that is what PLOS One, PeerJ and other folks working on "alternative" metrics of evaluation for scientific publishing are pushing for. If pusblishers really only did publishing we would be putting our papers in blogs. It is very very frustrating that it is taking so long to decouple those functions and to have true publishing systems that are as cheap as blog hosting with services on top that are open for competition.
Do you think such a configuration could outrun the Vert.x configuration they've posted? I'm not challenging you, I'm just genuinely curious! Because if Play+Akka can outrun Vert.x, then it would be an interesting game altogether...

If your time is free, this is true. Otherwise this will cost you a non-zero amount of time and money.

It's the classic buy vs. build decision. Many companies do obvious things and charge money for it, yet succeed because they do a better job than you could do yourself for the same price.
I solved it for myself by looking directly into depression for what it is, looking into feelings and where and how exactly they are being felt.

Katherine, co-founder of ShopLocket here. Generally PayPal buttons aren't great when you start having more advanced product options (variants, taxes, shipping etc). And creating a beautiful storefront full of products from PayPal buttons is hard. Not to mention, the process isn't the most seamless for buyers, especially when compared to how shoplocket works with Stripe (ex: popslate.com or somawater.co).

Also, while it works, this WordPress 'integration' is more just a hack where a button image is linked to a checkout page.

No. You will not be able to do any of them right. There is so much shit to do that you will always be trying to catch up. What I do, is build them in periods of 3-months.
DNA is data and code, code is math. Your cells are computers, robots-. Your brain is a Neural network, so it is also a (different kind of) computer (built out of your cells, smaller computers/robots). All this is well very cool and well known.

The comparison would be php-raw vs ruby. The actual "php" benchmark did just as poorly as rails.
I read it that they were taking those studies with the lower range because the temperature as measured is about to fall out of the lowest range predicted by the IPCC models. I suspect, but can't prove, that if temperature were about to fall out of the upper range of predicted temperatures they would have selected a few models that the IPCC had rejected that showed that as an outcome.

I agree with the statement "Every model is going to be inaccurate to some degree." the problem here is that when the actual temperatures start landing outside the range of even the uncertainty bars for a model it ceases to be "inaccurate" and is simply "wrong."

The political sensitivity of that possibility can not to be under estimated.
In case it's not obvious, you can hide frameworks/platforms of no interest to you to narrow the view. For example, here's Node.js versus Express:

The TouchDB project was started at Couchbase, and since then we have ramped up our investment in mobile sync. The key thing about this project is that its designed to be tiny and boot fast. So it is written in Objective-C (and Java for Android.)

We are renaming TouchDB to Couchbase Lite (still 100% open source), and have a bunch more tools for it:

Couchbase Lite container for PhoneGap: https://github.com/couchbaselabs/LiteGap

Couchbase Lite for iOS: https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-lite-ios

Community mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mobile-couchbase

We are 100% serious about building the best damn database for mobile. Bonus points that it will seamlessly interact with other projects like PouchDB and friends via the sync protocol originally written as part of Apache CouchDB.
Strange, but interesting, and a good introduction to clustering.
I was the program manager who worked on the Word APIs. The Javascript APIs were not meant to be a replacement for the power of VBScript. Instead, we optimized design for apps that could be used between various Office products. The only Word-specific APIs are around manipulating CustomXMLParts.
OTOH, for people who do not want to have children (like me, at this time), there is no way to 'convince' that it is worth it.

And that is exactly how it should be. Because if you have to be "convinced" to have children, then you shouldn't have children.

Also, well-socialized, capable children add value to society, and society should invest in educating people how to raise them, and reduce barriers for (or even subsidize to some extent) those who do it well.
If you're looking for a more full stack framework in python, tornado has had support for oauth since it's release. It's implementation does rely on the tornado ioloop though, so it's not something you can easily just pull and use elsewhere.
Two seconds? Is this a joke? My browser starts faster than that. Often it takes me less than two seconds to open a file, make a minor edit, save it, exit, and recompile.
>You and tikhonj are all over the place in here

I am all over the place in here for the exact reason I mentioned. Go look at my posts, for every post about haskell by me, it is in response to someone posting some absurd nonsense like "haskell can't do real world" and "functional programming is great except you can't really do it because state". If people were interested in haskell, they would express interest, not strawman dismissals.
Look at table 6. You'll see a 44% base rate of divorce over 20 years. Note that couples with children (specifically have children after marriage) have a way lower divorce rate (from 48% to 22% after 15 years).

While a 44% divorce rate is nothing for any society to brag about, I imagine it's even worse than these statistics indicate. This study didn't include marriages longer than a 20 year period. The probability of a marriage surviving also decreases in a relatively linear fashion. It's speculation, but from the data a best case estimate for the divorce rate at 25 years would be about 54%, and considering that kids typically get out of the house and go off to college in the 20-30 year period, a further increase seems likely since "staying together for the kids" ceases to be an excuse then.

I'm sure the longer term data exists, I just don't have time to look it up at the moment. If anyone has a link, it would be great to see it though.

The Federal Circuit en banc decision on CLS Bank v. Alice is coming out soon. This case will likely give guidance on a 101 patent subject matter test for software patents (which the Supreme Court would then overrule). The certified questions are:

a. What test should the court adopt to determine whether a computer-implemented invention is a patent ineligible "abstract idea"; and when, if ever, does the presence of a computer in a claim lend patent eligibility to an otherwise patent-ineligible idea?

b. In assessing patent eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101 of a computer-implemented invention, should it matter whether the invention is claimed as a method, system, or storage medium; and should such claims at times be considered equivalent for § 101 purposes?
Sheesh, you can clearly see the GC pauses in the Java versions.
You do. The scale of those costs, and whether those costs outweigh the cost of planning everything before you start, may vary depending on a variety of things, such as the structure of your development teams. But there's always a cost.

At the simplest level, 5 days of coding something that you realise doesn't do what you want is 5 days you'll never get back.

At places like mine, where you've got multiple third parties that you're interfacing with, sending them off to develop something before being 100% certain that they are doing the right thing could - and reasonably frequently does - have many thousands of pounds of cost implications, and many months of delay, when you realise that a particular call needs to real time instead of batch for example.
You may want to eyeball RubyMotion. I don't know what y'all made thryv in, but as a webdev I was a lot more comfortable working in rubymotion then stock objective-c.
Our 1-year project: MercuryPuzzle. What do you think?
Agreed. So we are getting together with John McCutchan who did Dart SIMD intrinsics to do same for JS via Ecma TC39 Harmony process and rapid prototyping in SpiderMonkey -- and I hope in V8 as well.

And I feel sorry for "developers" who think that real "developers" only use the terminal.

I can use git from the terminal. And hate it with a passion. I personally can't imagine doing real development without the efficiency of a GUI to assist.

But I totally understand that other people have the opposite opinion, and respect that. Everyone's mind works in different ways. But just because you like the command line, doesn't mean other people can't find it more efficient to use a GUI.
Please make sure you're setting higher GC limits for the Ruby tests. Ruby's defaults are awful for a framework, and result in a LOT of GC thrash. It's not uncommon to see an order of magnitude improvement in performance when they're tuned properly. (edit: I'll just send a pull request, I found the setup file!)

Something else you might consider is the OJ gem rather than just the stock Ruby json gem. The latter is notoriously slow and memory-hungry (which will compound the GC issues!)
I think a lot of that classic work on search, heuristics, and problem-solving has been overshadowed lately by the emphasis on more 'modern' statistical machine learning. There's definitely value to both perspectives.
Yale Spring Fling 2013's website
Really? Not had any problems with Core Data on top of the default SQLite store (not iCloud, mind you). The interface is very reasonable, since it doesn't pretend to be transparent, and in my experience it works as documented. Care to go into detail?
It bothers me to continuously see articles with headlines like this. Just look at the comments—it gives false hope to patients and their families. As the author mentioned later in the article, there is a big difference between seeing cancer cells die in a petri dish or reduction in size of a transplanted tumor in mice and it being safe and effective in humans. I hope this succeeds, but it is a long way from a Phase 2/3 clinical trial.

Cancer research is too important to use misleading, link bait headlines to attract attention.
Important to note that OP doesn't mention using APC with this, something that any production code would be using in a real world case. This would have an impact on the numbers he uses and on the diff we are seeing.

The most important thing in this article, which should be H1 bold at the top, is:

> This is about "shortest path" or "worse is better ...

I think we're in agreement there.

> JS is "good enough" and manifestly capable of evolving cross-browser via the Ecma TC39 standards process and some coopetition to be even better.

Perhaps in disagreement there, especially when you're competing against Apple's user-first focus, and especially when I'm on the receiving end of being forced to use a JS-based stack as a developer. I do mean the full stack, too -- instruction level profiling, debugging, failure reporting, consistent performance profiles, the whole nine yards.

> Anyway, at the asm.js level, apart from syntax, why do you care how an int32 cast or type annotation is encoded? The semantics are sufficient, as proven by UE3 in Firefox. They only get richer as we do SIMD, task ||ism, etc.

Well, as an implementor of systems software, I can't help but be wary that asm.js brings along with it the entire JS language and (in practice) web stack, too. It means that the likelihood that 'web' applications will ever be free of the enormous web stack is lowered, though alternative implementations (eg, NaCL) reduce some of that risk.

I guess we'll see how it goes.
Completely agreed. Updated. Thx for the feedback.

It takes a lot of determination and creativity to bring an "imaginary friend" to life. I like the way you chose to describe the process (idea-to-product). Thanks for sharing!
A few examples of why vim has some non-obvious power:

* html you can change inside of a text object. If you are say anywhere inside of a link <a href="som|e link"> you can ci< and you have deleted the whole thing and are left with <|> (where the cursor is denoted by |) If instead you typed ci" you would be left with <a href="|"> this is a very powerful pattern
* you can script little macros that do text editing on a macro scale very efficiently. This is more useful than a simple find and replace.
you want to make a list that starts with a number, has that number in it and is incremented by one(or two or...) every time.
Type the first sentence
1, xv001, "", more stuff.
exit out of insert mode. jj or esc
start recording the macro into register r: qr
yank the line and paste it yyp
go to the beginning of the line 0 or ^
increment by one and move one word right and increment the next number: ctrl-a w ctrl-a
move down one line, j
exit recording q
run macro r 100 times 100@r

The nice thing is that if you mess something up you can paste whatever is in register r, edit it, yank it back into register r and run it. It sounds like it's slow but it's all real time editing and you are doing it interactive so you don't have to do it blind.

There are many more things that make vim style interactions a boon to your productivity but I don't have a lot of time to comment on it. hopefully I touched on enough that it piques your interest to at least give it a shot.

Vim is so popular that you can get pretty good emulation in a lot of IDEs so you can have the best of both worlds. vimemu for Visual studio is supposed to be very good. eclipse has eclim, hell even emacs has evil mode.
And I don't think people should have intellectual property rights over my DNA or any DNA pattern.
Works great but:-
1) How do I stop the verbose on screen reporting (I use SSH)
2) How do I stop it once it is running - CTRL+C does not work and kill only sometimes works
3) Is there any documentation or more examples please
Thanks

That's not how governments work. Governments prefer to tax things over banning them where possible (excluding activities with significant moral connotations, which are subject to different considerations).

This will be a fun ride until governments start auditing people for not reporting their bitcoin-denominated income.

Governments, especially governments with many international residents and companies, have long since passed foreign currency laws that require taxpayers to convert foreign currency transactions into the local currency for purposes of reporting income. Failure to report your bitcoin-denominated income can mean that the local tax authority (i.e., the IRS) has until the end of time to go after you for back taxes, penalties and interest, and even criminal sanctions (depending on the amount of underreporting).
A Link to the Past
There's a link in the very line that you're quoting that goes to an article that discusses "open systems" and "open-source software" as distinct things, and addresses the benefits of open systems and an open-source stack, even when building closed-sourced software. You may disagree completely with the arguments in the article, but at least it's trying to engage in the subject, which is more than can be said for your sound-bite answer to the first two sentences of the linked blog post.

At no point does your quote say that open-source always wins, or that all things should be open-source, so it's like you didn't read even those two sentences. It always seems a bit artificial when people trot out "middlebrow dismissal", but geez...
Eventot : All Events At One Site
When you're picking out specific lines to commit, or selecting certain files out of a batch, or reading through a long diff, or doing any number of things that requires random access, GUI beats CLI by a long shot. Of course, GUI doesn't work so well when you need to do some of the more fiddly stuff. Which is why it's good to use both. :)
The raw json output merely tells about the performance of the language itself. Nice, but not that interesting if you need to get the job done and don't happen to know 10+ languages/frameworks.

I'll elaborate on the first two words:

They're shilling for their company with a config and tools I wouldn't be caught dead using. No idea what other craziness lurks in the other daemon configs. It's irresponsible and misleading. They're misrepresenting the framework I use to do my work and probably others while hoping I or someone else is going to do their work for them. "Outsourced CTO services?" Their trash. My lawn.

Someone's going to eventually ask me to develop the rest of xyz in node and I'll have to repeat myself about articles like this. Bad enough when it's bloggers. Worse when it's self-shilling company that's obviously not willing to put the time in to be what they claim to offer.
It's really easy to use too. I recently extended the base implementation for a service that it didn't support and it took me very little time.
How much would you pay to save the life of your wife? Your best friend? An acquaintance? A random American? A random Somali?

The further away, in relation, a random human is from myself, the less that person's well-being affects me directly. It is, therefore, entirely rational to care less about their well-being than the well-being of humans closer to me.

The morality of that is neither here nor there--and indeed it strikes me as a very corrupt system of morality that rejects one of the most basic of human instincts.
I am a Vim user too! Because of my curiosity, I tried Emacs and I was amazed how easy it is for beginners! There are very simple quick-start guide that don't force to use all the great features just yet. And all things that can be confusing for beginners are turned off by default. We can learn something. :)

Also, I like to think that Vim is not an editor. It's a language or, you may even say, a concept of editing text.
I've never understood it either apart from the initial euphoria of it being "something that hardcore Linux fans use". I'm not dissing it either. We should use any editor that we are comfortable with, if it's vim or something else. If your code sucks, it'll suck equally on vim or any other editor.
Good thing algorithms aren't patented and instead it's the application of the algorithm that gets the grant. Most are written as "a method for performing X by doing Y."

IMO, the issue with software patents isn't that businesses patent algorithms or code(which they don't do). Instead, it's that technology moves too fast for the monopoly time that's granted. When it comes to software, what's innovative 5 years ago is common place and often a commodity today.
Is that why twin brothers can't sue one another for patent violation? :c)
In a society chalk full of rent-takers, you would expect that when one of these rent-takers "imagines a promising new field", their first impulse is to see if they can move their figurative fences little further out to extract a "reward" for their "discovery".
Awesome. Thanks RedHat and Rackspace for standing up to patent trolls and defending the true innovators.
