>If Pocket goes away in the blink of an eye, what becomes of your archives & favorites?

Seems like the type of thing to be proactive about it.

Pocket has an API that you could use to sync with another similar service , or roll something of your own. They also have a simple export which provides a list of source URLs for what you've pocketed.

I've set Kippt up to retrieve from Pocket and used to the manual export to load things into historious [1].

Italy's population density is pretty high and it works fine. You can buy fairly compact, multi-level drying racks. Or, of course, there's this:

Family size? We have two small kids and hang-drying works fine. There are times I wish we had a dryer, but mostly I don't miss it too much.
We never ran out of whale oil, but does anyone think we should go back to using that as our main source of fuel?

It isn't about running out, it's about cost and sustainability. Oil is getting more expensive and it isn't sustainable.
We, a family of 5, do this in the humid Dutch climate all year round. In the summer clothes dry in an hour outside, in the winter in 1 or 2 days inside the house. An electric dryer uses huge amounts of energy, so this is about the most effective thing you can do with the least impact on your life.

Anyone who ate this every meal for ever based on the current level of evidence is nuts sure.

But this is awesome research. He is trying to do something awesome, at great personal risk.

He has shown some integrity in not providing the recipe until it has been verified, and has stated that he will proceed to large scale trials before commercializing.

I'm not saying I don't expect him to damage himself (and anyone else who eats this full time), but I don't really understand all the heat he's getting for trying.

If this yields something cheap we can eat ~80% of meals in the long term, then that's a really great thing. There are people who eat an unhealthy and monotonous diet due to cost, even in the west. If that could be partly replaced with something a bit more healthy, that would be very socially valuable.
Why is it so easy to make a food that dogs and cats can eat for every meal but so difficult for humans? Anyone know?

I evaluated Elastic Beanstalk for PHP about a year ago. I was impressed with the features I had at my finger tips. But, I couldn't get my custom PHP AMI to work the way I wanted (likely due to my own errors). So, I opted for another solution.

5 Simple Ways to Cut the Costs of Building an App
I think it'd represent a great deal of progress - in terms of our simplistic way of thinking that equates convenience and the harnessing of fossil fuels to human advancement. It requires a lot of destructive practices to manufacture, operate, and dispose of clothes dryers. That's more enlightened than using a 100% sustainable clothesline and a breeze?

Hmm, no wonder you prefer CtrlP to your previous workflow, find and grep are two horrible and verbose tools for opening files from Vim!

The canonical way to open a file for editing is:

:e file

Of course you can use tab-completion:

:e fi<Tab>

And the "star" wildcard:

:e f*/fil<Tab>

And the awesome "starstar" wildcard:

:e **/f*/fil<Tab

It's even better if you activate the "wildmenu" and play with the "wildmode" option:

filea fileb filec filed
------------------------------------
[filea] fileb filec filed
------------------------------------
:e filea

CtrlP is a great plugin that I use extensively all day long but… there are other ways, beyond find and grep.
I second the vote for Blue Box. We moved from Heroku 8 months ago and have been extremely happy.

I agree with grrrando, there were a few instances of slow responses during setup, but I also agree thats because you're talking to an individual in that case, rather than a support team.

Two of my favorite things about Blue Box:
1) On the first sales call they had a knowledgeable engineer that discussed the specifics of our app.
2) With their online chat I get answers from an engineer within minutes, even on nights or weekends (they have phone support too, I prefer chat)

The Tesla apparently uses LiNiCoAlO2 (NCA lithium ion). So just starting from the chemistry gets you to less than 4% lithium by weight (~3.8%). Throw in packaging and such and really, the individual cells are more like 2%. The cells apparently weigh ~50 grams, so 7000 of them weigh ~350 Kg (7000 is the Tesla cell count, really 6,831).

2.5% of 350 Kg is 8.75 Kg. So a slightly less conservative estimate scales your figures by a factor of 22.

Edit: The Model S probably uses NCA batteries (it's hard to say). Lithium is still only 7% by weight of LiCoO2 (Leaving at least a factor of 10).
Judging by the increased popularity, I'd say that you are at least in the minority. I find that it looks clean, elegant, and attractive.

This is actually quite a Scottish accent, however it does not really fit with the stereotype (Groundskeeper Willy et al). To me (a Scot) it sounds very similar to George Galloway's accent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_AOTexf6uc

> Thanks for posting. I would have thought narrow lines would produce the problem that those specific lines would become unavailable for study, or would be freely mixed with the "real" data in confusing ways. It didn't occur to me that they could simply be subtracted in a deterministic way.

Your original thought is basically correct: we do lose the ability to do any meaningful work at the wavelengths of the lamp emission lines. But the damage is concentrated at a few wavelengths. So we trade having noise over the entire spectrum for a few really, really noisy pieces of spectrum. It's generally a excellent tradeoff.

But even low pressure sodium lamps have some emission spread over a large wavelength range, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to do optical work near major urban areas. In the long run most of those sites will probably transition to mostly IR work.
What gets me, in the US, is that investors only want to fund companies in red-ocean star cities where studio apartments cost more per month than the average American fucking makes after taxes.

I enjoy many things about living in New York-- you fucking hate it when you sign a rent check or change jobs; other than that, it's quite nice-- but it pisses me the fuck off to pay these ridiculous rents (and the real estate costs reflected in restaurant pricing; I wouldn't mind paying $20 for sushi if the money went to the chef and wait staff and not real-estate fuckers). The reason the city's expensive is because top-talent people like me come here and work their asses off, providing a healthy substrate for economic activity that generates lots of value. I'm bringing the real fucking ingredient (talent) and not these unproductive and fucking uncultured absentee landlord fucksticks (half of whom don't even live in the city, and what the fuck are we doing allowing foreign speculators, i.e. third-world despots and their henchmen, to own property here when we can't even provide for our own fucking people?) who've stolen most of my savings. Who the fucking fuck thought "Talent Pays" is a fair or good fucking system? It wasn't fucking me, I'll tell you that much.

The talent argument for startups only being in star cities is specious. All it would take is for a few hundred top engineers to move to any city X in unison and that would start something. Fuck, you might be able to build a kernel with 20. You could use a #4-10 tech hub (Austin, Seattle) or somewhere that's not even on the map (e.g. Iowa City).

Now, if you're selling to a specific clientele, living in a star city makes sense. If 80% of your clients are going to be financial firms, you want to be in New York. I get that. But there's so much that can be done from anywhere; so why is all the investor money limited to a couple of cities?

I am a genetic contrarian so I tend to be one of the first to see when going assumptions are wrong. I think that if you want to build a stable company, you want to be outside of the fuxpensive star cities right now. When the culture is one where you have to become some parasitic VP who doesn't do anything, and then "exit", just to own a house, you're not nurturing the lifelong software engineers who will actually be motivated to build awesome shit. Whereas outside of the star cities, your burn rate is lower, and the "job hopping" climate isn't as fluid (which is good and bad) so you can really invest in people and build for the long-term, instead of being fucking toast if Facebook doesn't buy you before trick-or-treat night.
One advantage of hang-drying is it's less destructive to fabrics... I wash at 30 degrees on a 1-hour cycle, and hang dry... my clothes seem to pretty much last forever.

Except for trousers, which eventually get a hole in the crotch. Fucking trousers...

Thoughts on CommonJS / RequireJS
-> The prof states that the question was way harder than a normal exam to start with.
-> (as someone else stated) there were 27 students in all.

You are missing the point here. The process of generating ideas from 27 brains, then using 27 brains to filter them down to a manageable number, then dividing up chores for reference-gathering, writing up, and copying is a far more productive process than 27 people trying to do this separately - they answered a much more open and advanced question, and the ones at the back will have understood much more, than if they had all just sat an exam.

They got better grades because groups of humans outperform individual humans by a huge margin, and that is the lesson of game theory. This exam was an elegant way to demonstrate that.

Ultimately, the most important thing to keep in mind is that your “stack” shouldn’t define you.

While I agree with this advice in general, there are cases in which it is advantageous to allow your stack to define you. For example, Jane Street Capital appears to have established themselves as the place to work if you are interested in both functional programming and finance, greatly aiding their recruiting efforts.

Granted, they didn't start out using OCaml; their founders made a switch after the firm had already established itself. However, I wouldn't be surprised if a startup (where the founders have a specific skillset/background) could exploit a similar first-mover advantage.
Nothing stops you from using a lipophile solvent rather than a hydrophile in preparing these dilutions.
Except none of this is true in this case - Sweden. The only regulation in place is consumer protection (driver's licenses, reputable businesses, regulated taximeter, comparison prices posted on the cars). There's nothing protecting driver's interests.
Well there are three reasons:

1) when someone posts a book with an affiliate link and then says its a good book, it really clouds their intentions.

2) the link was obfuscated so you aren't really sure what it points to.

3) some people just won't click on an affiliate link.

By seconding his recommendation and providing a non obfuscated link everyone is better off. His recommendation has atleast been backed up and the user is certain of where the link leads to.

Everyone wins:)

I don't disagree with your sentiment. I do have practical and moral objections though to policies which couldn't possibly mitigate the issue in question but still involve the societal sacrifices. In the end, cheap clean energy like fusion, thorium fission, solar ("burning" the water/rocks/sunlight) is really the only solution to both peak oil and global warming.

Seems to me like this is the double edged sword of consumer protection. I think Sweden has the right idea here but I can also see how someone starting a business might think that these consumer protection laws protect the existing players in an industry.

In America we have a lot of laws governing the hotel industry. For the most part I think they are in place to protect the millions of Americans and tourists who stay in hotels here every year. However, if I understand correctly, some of those laws have made it difficult for new businesses to enter the market.

I'm not trying to say that all government and all regulation is necessarily good either. Over-regulation is a problem in a lot of places and there absolutely should be debate on what rules are sensible, which rules are unjust and intolerable, or make life worse.

Living on the Texas Gulf coast, we line-dry clothes in the summer, when it isn't too humid. Our nosey old blue-haired neighbor had to comment to another neighbor about how unfortunate it was for us that our clothes-dryer had obviously broken, and we must not be able to afford a new one. What's really funny is that we have a privacy fence around three sides of our fairly large back yard. Due to the part of the yard where the clothes are hung, the view of the clothes is very limited from the street.
IMHO, blogging for driving traffic is really hit-and-miss. One article may become huge and generate tens of thousands of visitors in a short time span while hundreds other barely get any eyeballs on them. If traffic is your primary goal, fewer articles while making sure they are as "link-baity" as possible is optimal. Top ten lists, inflammatory titles and easily digestible content. Also get the link to the article out in as many places as possible to maximize the odds of it going viral.

For at least year Instapaper wasn't really moving forward. Design feels outdated, the website looks like thrash. Pocket on the other hand looks and feels pretty awsome. As you can the fact you paid for the app or not has nothing to do with this outcome so far.

That's true. (I am a Hungarian living in Hungary). Although migration is not the best deal in my opinion.
