I'm not sure why you think your personal preference is optimal in any way. I hated the short clips on your holiday video, and couldn't help thinking that the actual problem here was your (stated) inability to hold a camera steady. I like vine's 6-second clips OK, because that's long enough for one complex shot or 2/3 simple ones. Films and TV often use much shorter shots, but doing so involves preparatory context-building.

Short shots without context are just confusing and frustrating because there's no prior context or established line of action (for example someone on screen left fires a gun pointing to the right, cut to someone being hit on screen right - part of the art of film is to lead the eye around the screen smoothly from shot to shot).

I definitely found the usage of the term arbitrage to be unusual, but it did logically make sense to use it in this way. I wasn't sure if the author was creatively using arbitrage in this way, or if the term already was being used in certain circles with this connotation.

Guess I am so used to seeing word repurposed (especially nouns being verbified and vice versa) that i just filed this away in the 'maybe' this is what the marketing kids are saying now a days

I love a good con, and it's instructive to teach people how they are tricked so that it doesn't happen to them.

One of my favorite spams happened a couple of weeks ago. The spammer said he had written a very long post about my excellent article, but his computer crashed, so he wasn't going to repeat it.

This is very similar to "Gee, if you could only have read my comment, you would have loved how on-topic and awesome it was!"

We've created this system where we are paying people to drop by our blogs and tell us how awesome we are. Strange world.
Nice Work!
I'm curious, it says "Built with ESPN", did you use the ESPN API?
They have been extremely responsive to feedback so far and always carefully explained why they are not incorporating everything the community suggested.
Wow, thank you. To be honest I'm quite new to js, especially backbone and those other util libs like underscore. Really appreciate the CR, will fix shortly.
On the topic of the JVM frameworks, you have to understand that the JVM is a very finely tuned machine at this point, it has something like 10+ years of performance tuning by a large portion of the entire industry behind it. Yesod just recently cracked the 1.0 release and has been going through massive changes in the last year or so, the fact that it performs as well as it does is a huge testament not only to Haskell as a language, but also to the work of Michael Snoyman and the others who's work he incorporated into Yesod.

That said, there are still a lot of rough patches with Yesod, and I'm sure there are lots of opportunities to improve performance in various small ways. The main Haskell compiler (ghc) is constantly improving and many of the changes allow for smarter automatic optimizations to be applied by both the compiler and the runtime. With continued refinement I feel it's definitely possible for Yesod to match, and even exceed the performance of any of the JVM based languages, but as I said, there are a lot of performance optimizations baked into the JVM and it's probably going to take a while before Yesod (and WAI which it's built on) have similar levels of optimization in them.
I can't go without 10-15 minute power naps in the afternoon or evening. Whether it's physically effective or just placebo, it feels essential. That being said I drink coffee before the gym at around 7-8pm, which probably isn't the optimal time (though I have no problem falling asleep at 12:30-1:30am which is when I want to go to sleep).
Whatever number you arrive to, double it.

Correlation is not causation, and nothing on that site is evidence that money is winning the election. It is not surprising that the most popular politicians (winners) would also be the ones to get the most money, from people who like the official and others trying to buy influence.

Well. There's definitely a good chance it will be the last question for Eleven.
I always thought having messaging(email) tied to the documentation would be nice to so the reasoning behind decision could be documented.
Can you elaborate? There is a Google Now widget on Android, I have it on my home screen right now. Do you mean something else? What do you mean by Google Now "launcher"? Something besides swiping up from the bottom of the screen?
Geographic area matters a lot.
Am I the only one who would hate such a system? I could see, if I were a manager there, a lot of downside to this. "Why does Jenna make 15% more than I do and we have similar jobs? I sleep less than she does, I'm here on extra days, I haven't taken a vacation day in years. I want a raise to reflect this."

It would seem to me to open a huge can of worms to have to manage through. And then it would almost be a race-to-the-bottom in some ways: I make the same as Jake, but he gets in later and leaves earlier.

Not to mention, especially with hiring, there's very little room for negotiation, whether as a hiring manager or a potential employee. If someone is high-value, you run the risk of bringing in a new employee where (s)he is making a good bit more than the rest of the engineers, which could lead to the situation I mentioned above.
Actually, is a DMCA notice against something that's fair use technically bad faith? You are still violating their copyright, you just have a defense against it in court.

Ultimately, whether something is fair use or not is the purview of the courts. Does the DMCA require you to make that judgement before submitting a notice? I would guess not.

And unfortunately, you can't sue people just for being jerks.

I have a Note II running 4.1.1 and I experience the OP's "deluge of texts/notifications hours after the fact" issue. It's very frustrating to get pinged with 10+ notifications at once that came in over the past hours.

To be fair, it's wifi related, but to be more fair: every single iOS device gets texts and notifications from the identically same wifi network without any issue.
That's why I get paid the big bucks. =P

In all seriousness, I do listen to your podcasts. Proof: You forgot to renew the domains once, and joked about it.
Hey thanks for the note :)
I think an overarching issue is that the goals of FB developers are different from the goals of FB itself.

As a result, FB is keenly focused on keeping its feed and request channels relevant and trimmed down, while developers would rather use the channel to blast as many people as possible. That's also why Facebook is fine with breaking stuff for its developers if it makes the customer experience better.
I feel that this is the reason Facebook is trying such formats. If people have difficulty downloading the photos, they will visit the website more, and share more photos through FB than go through the "download -> edit -> non-facebook sharing medium (email/dropbox)" pipeline.
Totally, which league(s) would you like to see added next?
Imagine a random, un-nerdy German, entering "www.facebook.com" into his browser, and getting a themed page, written bij Facebook, about how DT is effectively blackmailing them. Note: Facebook controls what this person sees, not DT (theoretically of course they could modify the page but I doubt they're that evil, even if they were fast enough).

If Facebook does some effort to write up a decent piece of text there, then I bet most people would root for Facebook, not DT, in this case. Especially so if the mainstream media does not explicitly appear to disagree. In fact, papers like Bild will love a healthy scandal and will likely choose Facebook's side just to blow things up. (idem for Google, of course)

Utopia has the same connotation, so I guess that makes sense.
An implementation is what you have to use, you can't use 'the language design'. When you have to use a special build system to generate Go -and- C stubs to call out, can't use a standard linker or partial compilation or shared libraries, have a massively large exe, can't embed in other programs (Go has to be 'main'), can't use with SELinux, has huge unpredictable latency spikes, etc it'll be cold comfort that those problems are 'just implementation details'.

It's too bad they had NIH or thought 32-bit was the future and didn't stop at just creating a language.
I actually think it's less competitive than it was a couple of years ago. Many of the developers who were just making social games (Zynga, wooga, King.com) are now heavily focused on mobile titles.

You could still move out of such a state just to get an abortion, though.
The Zeo website seems to be alive and well, and all their apps are still available.
Who lifts daily? Don't do that, bud.
There's really just one major reason - people used facebook API to get access to people's contacts but now mobile apps can do the same thing simply by crawling people's contacts list. This obviates the need for apps to play within Facebook's rules.
Mobile definitely seems to be leading the way. I know the pace of obsolescence may be slowing a bit, but I still suspect that most consumer cable modems and routers will be replaced within a decade, similar to the pace of 802.11n adoption. It is troubling that ipv4 only ones are still being sold. So many negative comments here, but I still believe ipv6 will be rapidly adopted in the coming years and that all this concern about carrier NAT and the depleted ipv4 address space will become irrelevant in short order.
Sure thing. I don't mean to imply that you are intentionally misguiding. Your general advice (i.e. sleep enough and do it consistently) is good and the post was fairly well-written. Cheers, good sir.

You never want to wake up in the middle of a Deep Sleep or REM sleep cycle. The best time to wake up is when you're in between cycles. Which is what the "Smart Alarms" are supposed to do, they wait until you come out of a sleep cycle to wake you up.

The Zeo is the most accurate (since it picks up brainwaves), however it's also slightly uncomfortable and buggy. I personally use the Jawbone UP which works good enough. All of the apps that say they do that aren't the most accurate since they rely on the movement of your mattress. However I know some people who swear by them.

I agree with you on that. The Facebook platform exceeded even Windows in the level of developer displeasure and brain damage from working with it.
Appreciating your ancestors
You might have a point, but I think that's a terrible analogy.

It could go as you suggest. Or it could be like a locker room: if everybody is naked, then nobody cares.

What made me add drafts to the lists is Daniel Dennett's energetic description in Consciousness Explained of how he repeatedly circulates drafts of papers to colleagues for comment. At least in philosophy, that's an important part of the process.

Having to show interim steps would make fraud much harder, and it's a zero-overhead thing if people are already backing up their work.
Hardware isn't very thrilling. Even the better spec'd peak is qHD vs. current Android flagships' 1080P screen resolution, a processor generation back, 4GB ROM vs. 32GB and 64GB internal memory, no LTE. The Keon model is a step further back yet.

That does let them offer a very affordable price at least, and probably meant much cheaper to get an ODM since there isn't anything new about the hardware. LTE isn't as important outside US and with fewer contract subsidies the price is more important. They might manage some low end sales this way and get some developers to pickup an extra developer device.

I think the bigger OEMs avoid this sort of thing because there isn't much profit margin, but it might be enough for a small company to get by. You can't really get huge sales unless you are in stores, but you can get some.
5-6 days a week should be fine with the right kind of "split". But indeed at least one full rest day a week is going to do more good than harm. And indeed just lifting 3-4 days per week is certainly fully sufficient for most-any kind of lifting goal..

Scrum vs. Kanban vs. Scrumban: Iterations, Work Routines, and Scope Limits
Unfortunately the 10% is basically the minimum we do need at this moment. 10% on a $10 transaction is $10. PayPals fees on a $10 purchase are 3.5% plus 35 cents. That's 70 cents. Basically our profit is 30 cents.

Our 10% fee is way cheaper than eBays 9-12%+PayPal fees. Our 10% umbrella fee is nicer because sellers don't like having to figure out how much they're making by doing lots of adding. One simple 10% fee that covers transaction fees is much more preferred.
I really wonder how much sleep people lose worrying about their sleep habits.

Trying to micromanage everything from your sleep schedule to your work schedule to your calorie intake to your fat intake to your social media intake to your exposure to cell phone radiation results in being even more stressed out than you would be if you weren't attempting to keep track of eighty different pseudoscientific lifestyle prescriptions.

Go to sleep. Wake up. Eat food. Do those things, and try to enjoy life while you have it... burning it trying to "optimize" everything is a painful waste of time.
I thought it was a good article, but a lot of it seemed like opinion stated as fact.

I wear ear plugs at night, but no mask. I suffer from "night terrors" however, and when they strike I am very disoriented. The earplugs make that worse, and I imagine a mask would be a bad idea too.

From IP address spam prevention perspective 40 bit addressing would be optimal: it would give enough IP addresses for everyone for comfortable use, but at the same time would make make IP addresses more expensive than zero (so it would be hard to simply use new IP address for every spam request).

40 bit address is also still possible to memorize (unlike 128 bit address).
I don't think you are making a convincing argument for your point.
Most likely it will be a developer interpreting the api and generally speaking they are likely to want some flexibility in how you query a resource.

I would say your proposed suggestion is much more limiting, you have basically removed the query string and changed the name.

So your proposed version returns all the data, in most notorious order, that could be tonne of data. You are going to need query strings for paging and filtering and sorting..this is perfectly good api design.

I would recommend odata.org for a read.
I would also recommend apigee.com white paper on good api design.

Also with versioning in mind, you may wish too include api/v1.x/mostwanted

Power naps can be very effective when used right (i.e if you're consistent with them).

One correction: I don't think CipherCloud have actually claimed to do homomorphic encryption - at least I can't find any such statement on their web site. That was an assumption on the part of the StackExchange user.

It would be hard for them to make a security guarantee that isn't bogus, if the screenshots from their demo is an accurate representation of their technology, but they don't appear to have made this particular fraudulent statement.
I reject the idea that optimization leads to burnout. If you're consciously thinking about ALL of those variables at once, yes, you will achieve burnout.

But the entire point of life optimization isn't to sit around thinking about all of this, it's to build healthy habits that allow our "autopilot" to pilot us down previously consciously decided paths.

You should be unconsciously a better person after reinforcing new healthy habits, quite identical to your final phrase of "wake up, eat," etc.

If you're burning out with optimization, you are literally doing it wrong.
Neither a mystical land of fantastic riches, nor a freakish unholy pit of dishonest vipers and shattered dreams.

Trading is perhaps the ultimate convex work, to borrow Michael O. Church's term. A few extremely skilled people can pull money out of the market like magic. But the average trader's performance is worse than just buying a major index fund. And those of us below average (I am still in this group, alas) can pretty much count on losing money.

Your point that trading takes effort and capital that could be directed in other ways is well stated.
They suit the work, not the workplace. A software company is not as different as the leaders think.

This is the most bizarre and dangerous definition of 'WMD' that I've ever seen.
There even exists automated tools for these tasks such as 'The Best Spinner' (google it for more info) which will take in a chunk of text and spits out spun content. It mostly uses a database of synonyms to achieve this. Oh and also, if you care about quality, there is a manual mode where you put in your text and manually choose the suggested synonyms for words/phrases. The developer was clever enough to store what synonyms the users were manually choosing and now with that data, most of the automatically generated output would seem legible. Also, there are tools to scrape and spam these spun comments onto various blogging and forum platforms (google for 'scrapebox' and 'xrumer').
If it's anything like my work network, it's because you have ports blocked. Agreed that it's annoying that iOS has no such problems, but I'm guessing we have a minority problem.
Only programmers have high expectations of code quality. If I'm a biologist, my target audience is other biologists, not programmers.

Your comment reads to me like you want non-programmers to ritually humiliate themselves by labeling their stuff as CRAP before you will deign to parse it for correctness. Patronizing people is not a good way to get them on-side.

We just need to keep the expectations of code quality low, which the CRAPL license does.

The purpose of the CRAPL is to make code accessible, not to lower expectations. It's not about what you think of the code, it's about whether the code yields correct results.
