huh. let me cite a speech I heard recently (celebration of 10 years of columbus module in space).. (approximately, it's from my mind) ..

"The ISS hat two mission objectives, (I) to bring the international community together for collaboration and friendship - this has been accomplished very well, and (II) to do some meaningful science up there, which has not been accomplished at all as of yet. Thus, it's your job to invent meaningful experiments to make the ISS more than a toy." (in the direction of the present students, not the Columbus module team)

What do we learn from this? They need and want input, and they need justification for the expense. The stuff shown here is thus entirely within the official line of the ISS teams.
Is that... lager? <shudders>
I wonder is there is an easy way to map the song, note by note, so it can respond better in relation to how the browser is resized. Good work!
Yup, and they are quite correct to point it out.
Curious analogy

As a graduate student, he'd just found serious problems in a famous economic study — the academic equivalent of a D-league basketball player dunking on LeBron James.
This is an excellent point. No I did not hear it myself and would not have been able to tell what was a first-hand account of hearing it from merely retweets/reposts of that information. And whoever originally heard it may have heard chatter that said the names, but not in the context of being actual suspects.
And this is what I was expecting:

You understood wrong my statement. Assume that you have two independent connecting channels in the same connecting tube. One is a live low-voltage channel for communication protocol and the other one is high-power (but dead in idle) pumping channel. When you plug the tube you automatically connect both channels. After that, having the info-line established, having assured that the couple has been locked & safe (i.e. insulated), both systems might then agree on opening the second high-power channel. It won't matter if it will take more than a few milliseconds to open or cut the power with the tube being in a safe coupling state. By "safe coupling state" I mean that not even the contact with the possible ionized air is allowed, the line being covered/insulated all the way. You just design the systems to not allow power to drain from the source unless it's safe. I also think that it's already time to design all the systems like that, not only the high-power car-recharging ones. This would make a difference in lives saved.
When austerity is cutting into public health measures, there is a pretty clear causative route, however.

Bing is important. It's a good search engine, comparable to Google's quality and size. And it's the only competition Google has in the US and most of Europe. (Sites like DuckDuckGo and Yahoo pass queries on to Bing). Dumb errors like this SSL problem are embarassing, but the larger frustration is how despite years of having a good product, they have so little market traction.
Actually, I was very relieved it was not.

> (1) Of course, if you start your own company, you will be dealing with things you can't control as well.

You are technically correct.

When you run your own company, the things that are "out of your control" don't feel that way, because at the end of the day, you decide how you want to act on them.

If a customer insists on butting his head in malevolent ways into a user experience I've created for their product because they think they know better, I have a few options. Of its an especially unruly customer, I have two: fire them or work with them. I will, in my mind, piece together the pros and cons of both, and will come to what I believe is the best decision. You are still deciding your fate and can live with the consequences because they're per your terms.

This is why, if I had a small team working on projects, every big decision would require unanimous vote. It's easy for someone to whine about having to work on something they don't believe in, but when you make them part of that decision process, and they consider the factors thoughtfully (like an owner), you give them that peace of mind of knowing they decided their own fate. They tend to come to the same conclusions you do, but aren't bothered by it because they're not doing it "only because you said so."
I usually put a check for "SSL certificate expires in less than 30 days" in the NMS. There is certainly a market for network monitoring as a service and this is a useful check to have in one.

You're absolutely right. This is what is meant by spaghetti code; everything is connected and you can't tell what is connected to what until you start pulling things out.

Yes, this seems to be the nature of communities both online and offline. A community becomes known for something like hipsters in Brooklyn, cat memes in Reddit, or motherhood paraphernalia in Pinterest. More people of the demographic with the same mindset join and stay, whereas everyone else feel unwelcome and gradually leave.
This cheered up my Friday afternoon.
Some small subreddit goes off the rails every few months.

Reddit as a whole needs a better answer for that than just pointing out that it is just some small subreddit.

(I don't pretend to know what that answer is, and I guess it does have more to do with people choosing how to participate in online discussions than it does reddit, but reddit is well positioned to push that participation in a better direction)
I don't think I've seen anything as douchey as embedding your own tweets in an article.
> There's no reason to send a page to your users over HTTPS if they can't trust the certificate.

There can be. HTTPS still gives you encryption over the wire. It still protects against a passive eavesdropper, like a casual packet sniffer on a public wi-fi network. The whole certificate deal protects against a Mallory with power to intercept and spoof messages. Of course nobody on the public internet can be sure there isn't a Mallory in or at the edge of the user's ISP, but in plenty of intranet or otherwise controlled networking scenarios, HTTPS with certificates lacking a trust chain can be reasonable.
I'm working on a Javascript XMPP webchat client built with Strophe.js and backbone.js

You can connect directly to any public XMPP server and you can of course set up one yourself if you want to maintain ownership of the data.

It's still early days but it's already quite useful and used in production (integrated into an add-on for the Plone CMS).
The Pitch is Not the Pitch
> People can still keep using IE 6/7 for the shitty inhouse apps written for it by their company a decade ago, and use a damn modern browser for everything else.

You should try working for an agency that handles large clients.

A year ago I was still building pages for an airport that needed to support IE6 to a functional level. We charged a huge number for that support, but this was such a large client that had a proven need for it (analytics and sales data) that they would happily pay several thousand for us to build a section that supported these users. Luckily we left that client, but we still have a number of clients that want IE7 browser support.

I'd like nothing more than to ditch older browsers, but until XP dies many of us will still have to support older browsers. Once XP is gone, the older browsers are gone.
wow, i'm surprisingly good at it!
The original study said that. The new study said that their growth, while positive, is a bit less than those with less debt.

This will be a new facet of our culture. This crisis has been a landmark crisis, one that has paralyzed Boston for 5 days and which highlights all these systems for information distribution. I can't imagine how many new users Reddit will have after today.

People needed a way to deal with this. I also went through all the reddit examples. I found them to be unconvincing but the act of looking for the guy made me feel much better.

Until you walk the mile to work looking at every single person with a backpack hoping they are not about to bomb a T station, you don't know what that it is like.

The police and media need to deal with reddit by making better information available faster. Reddit is their competition now and they should recognize it as a disruptive force. Just like Uber, I don't want it regulated away.

Blaming "reddit" is ridiculous. We should put the blame on inept reporting and far too slow of reporting from police. Had they done their jobs faster, Reddit would have been worthless.

[edit] phrasing

[Added]
Clearly from the up and down voting I have been getting, my comment is highly polarizing for this community.

My point is simple: Reddit, digital cameras and the internet is here to stay. This new reality means that we need to embrace natural human behavior as best as possible and only attempt to adjust it whenever 100% necessary. I get that people here think it should be adjusted, but I feel that the police and media should change their strategy first, then see what happens on reddit etc. over the long term.

The release of random information to different media groups including leaks and not maintaining constant contact with the public through an official forum should be viewed as unacceptable.
I don't know if you can call it 'play' when you are only influencing if the accordion is sounding or not. I would call it 'listening' to accordion by resizing your browser window. I understand that if the user did have control it would not sound as good, but you could do it.

The size of the window vertically would control the pitch, so if I have a small sliver vertically it should be high pitched and if my browser window is tall(vertically) it should be low pitched.

The speed of the change in size horizontally should be how fast the air passes through the instrument.

If I have it vertically large and slowly drag it to the left it should let out a low drone, if I go quickly it should be a low burst, etc.

Still very cool!

That may be good advice in the sense of being effective, but encouraging people to actively deceive their employers and intentionally do as little as possible is disingenuous and dishonest.

If you don't think that reflects on your integrity, or if you don't consider your integrity worth maintaining, then this really is advice that you could consider good. But telling this to impressionable people who are inexperienced and new to Real Life in general would do them and everyone they'll ever work for a huge disservice.

From the original article that you mischaracterise:

"According to a public mailing list thread, Google is doing this on purpose, to handle a spam problem. We sympathize; we spend a disappointing amount of energy combating similar problems on the services we provide for the free software community. But the solution can't be something that breaks legitimate communication channels, and especially not in a way that enhances Google's disproportionate control of the network."
Right, you are talking about ideal managers. Which, if we had, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Edit: I listened to it again. The Russian communications are between two cosmonauts. One is most likely inside the ISS and the other is walking. The interpreter is translating their Russian communication to English.
Interesting fact: in the recent Louis CK interview in Rolling Stone, he states that he uses absolutely zero makeup on himself on his show "Louie", which is pretty unusual.
The logo seems suspiciously similar to the Seagate emblem.
TV makeup is split into two types, 1) getting people looking good (same reason people wear makeup any time - but if you're being filmed, more people will see you, so you care more) 2) preventing the shine

While it's true that the lighting often doesn't help, the biggest problem is that the lighting can produce a lot of heat, so it's actually the lights making people sweat, not just making sweat show up more. Not sure lighting on the ISS is likely to do that, but could be wrong.

I was in a highly political and highly toxic situation prior to my current engagement. It took me over two years to get out of it. If you are not already in one of a handful of major tech hubs, it can be extremely difficult to get out such a situation.

This is a profoundly bad idea, and will likely never happen. The OP makes the assertion that quality of life is directly proportional to energy usage, so creating more energy is the primary way to grow an economy.

While this is true to a limited extend, do we really /want/ it to be true? Using energy as the measurement of an economy's size would naturally lead to economies across the globe investing in raw energy output, rather than other equally (or more) important areas of technological progress like making future infrastructure more energy-efficient. This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that the sources of energy we most commonly turn to today, fossil fuels, are inherently limited and have huge negative externalities. We need to come up with a standard that convinces markets to grow the standard of living in a way that doesn't require increasing the energy supply. If we don't, we risk exacerbating the global environmental and resource crises.
