the first one you describe is exactly what you can do on outlook. Everyone who is connected to the same exchange server can view everyone elses calendar and see which times they are free and which times they already have meetings scheduled and then they can send a meeting request at a time that everyone is and it is automatically added to your calendar unless you reject it. The only problem with this is that outside clients wont have access to you exchange server.

Or MapBox - http://www.mapbox.com/

Though, MapBox is extremely expensive if you require SSL support (because your site is on SSL) and you are a startup. You can't even solve it yourself by performing the SSL termination and proxying the requests as that is prohibited in their T&Cs.

But at least they exist and offer a really beautiful map style based on the OSM data. Still US based though, but they also provide TileMill so you can host your own (though not using their very good Streets styling).
I see a lot of arguments there going against nuclear plants but very little about alternatives. Of course I'd rather we all use solar panels, but until that becomes viable on a large scale, we need to move off the coal burning plants that currently produces almost all our grid's energy.
Thanks. I can script this as well - there's nothing fundamentally tricky here, but generating nice output is usually fiddly.
I think it's impossible to really estimate how much an energy costs, because you could argue that you need to include the cost of potential accidents or the incertity of raw materials costs or the cost of not being able to produce energy when you need it, etc.

For solar, you need sun, for wind, you need wind. The real issue to solve is being able to store electricity. Once you have that, a lot of issues disapear, because you can procude when you can, consume when you need.

In the long term I really think nuclear is optimal, after all that's what the universe chose... In a way, solar energy is fusion based. ;)
Why would I directly use it through browser and not third parties? What is their differentiating factor? I am not being facetious, but just being curious. I only know 4 square and maybe Apple uses their data.
We did something similar due to very old/messy code, but not with a 3rd party service. We just built an Apache OutputFilter that recognizes text (also in alt, title, button value attributes) and replaces it based on a set of more than 200k regexps. Sounds slow, but works fine due to (tmpfs + mmap based) caching after some warmup. The first working prototype took about 4h.

We'll never do it like this again though!
What he said was that if you manually preparing the images then the number of different images will be low enough that he can pay other people to solve the complete set - a one off cost.
Ruby, Rails, MongoDB and the Object-Relational Mismatch
A service I'd pay for: Mailing list management that doesn't suck, and isn't Google Groups. Something that can be backed up, and has a web interface. Mailman is still king in this niche, and I'm not entirely sure why.
It seems the App Store is slow to index apps, so it will be searchable in a few hours.
It also has the added advantage of stopping (and presumably automatically restarting, or at least triggering an alarm) a container when the service dies, something a daemonized version with a "while true; sleep" one would not.

This is something baked into the design of djb's daemontools (as well as later efforts in that realm like launchd and upstart), something the traditional shell-script startup stuff always got wrong.

Failure detection is your friend.

Documentary aims to 'break silence' on crash of TWA Flight 800
Honestly I think the biggest down side is that there's not enough commercial endeavors using Haskell, and thus theres horrifyingly few people working full time on many core pieces of the ecosystem. Yes, my biggest critique is that all the great stuff in the Haskell ecosystem is the result of a small collection of smart folks helping out in their spare time.

It makes me wondering what magic would happen when those folks can work on helping the ecosystem full time!

I have to say that one of my favorite things currently about haskell is how nice and easy the c ffi is to use. So darn simple! (I'm also GSOC mentoring some work to provide a nice C++ ffi tool too).

Theres so many great tools in the Haskell ecosystem, for every problem domain. Its not perfect, and theres always room for more improvement, but those improvements are happening, and the more people invest in supporting the community, the more those improvements happen!

For example, one thing i'll be exploring in the neat future is how to do good Numa locality aware scheduling of parallel computation. It looks like i might be able to safely hack support in via a user land scheduler (though i'll find out once i get there).

My principal work right now is building numerical computing / data analysis tools, and some of the things I'm doing now would be simply intractable in another language.
Good. It is comforting to know that a conservative approach is taken with keeping those things running. If it does the job and you don't forsee it not doing the job anytime soon, then leave it alone.

How's your maths? Here's something I'd pay quite a lot for: intelligent inventory optimisation in an easy to use SaaS format. Quite mathematically intensive to do well, so most SMEs don't have the skills, but directly saves money so has a clear value proposition.

Some pointers for an MVP I think might be sensible:
Model stock arrival and product ordering as Poisson point process with probability based on recent data
Combine with sales data & length of ordering cycle to reach suggested quantity per order (you could make suggestions to account for covering variations in customer ordering based on standard deviations)

I'm thinking of doing this myself for my business but really not finding the time to get it done!
Wow, YC is a complete and utter joke if they fund crap like this.

What person would, in their right mind, outsource something as essential as file uploads? What if their servers go down? The level of idiocy here is higher than Mount Everest.
Clojure does not allow you to define reader macros. Though I do not claim that Clojure is “painfully restrictive” because of this.

I would like reader macros because they would enable the implementation of sweet-expressions (http://readable.sourceforge.net/).
You think the universe is optimal? :p
Have you thought about charging $3 / month, or maybe $12 per year for this instead of a one-time purchase?

If you're saving / hosting the layouts, in which users can come back and create new ones or alter old ones, it jives nicely with charging on a recurring basis.

Throw in another service or two on top of what you already do, and the value proposition just keeps going up.

My company consists of: me and the guy sitting a few feet from me. If I wanted to schedule a meeting with that person, Exchange would be a poor improvement on the existing solution of turning my head.
If we could figure out economical nuclear fusion, we wouldn't be arguing right now. We are always 20 years from figuring it out also.

Once we have fusion, producing hydrogen liquid fuel should be cake.
`this` being dynamically bound is a feature, it's broken as intended. You can always `bind` a function to remedy this if it's a problem for you.
It appears to only be distributed as a web app. Apples and oranges. Also the editor looks like a code editor (Erato also kind of does, but it has a margin and it doesn't have line numbers by default).

It gets hard to say whether a shared page cache is a good thing or not, even though it may be unfair. I say this because I/O bandwidth getting exhausted is a huge issue.

For example, using cgroups to limit memory allocations for groups or processes seemed like a great way to fairly distribute memory. But, doing so forced such cgroups into swapping when they tried to exceed their limits, even when there was available memory on the host system. The swapping was so bad in terms of saturating disk I/O that we had two choices to maintain quality of service: (1) set the hard limit and OOM kill (or equivalent) within the cgroup when it gets exceeded or (2) not treat it as a hard limit and monitor usage separately. We chose the latter.

So, I honestly wonder, is it better to enforce separate page caches in the cause of fairness, even if it results in less efficient disk I/O? Or is it better to have a unified page cache and dedicate system-wide resources to increasing effective disk I/O bandwidth? (Do we focus on slicing the pie more fairly or increasing the size the pie while cutting sloppily?)
The problem with wishing the company death is that we know what it will do in the final times. It'll become another SCO generally making life inconvenient for everyone for many years before we finally see the back of it.
Why does this, and other markdown editors, use a fixed width font? It would be nice to have a variable width font by default and a quick toggle button or menu item to switch to a fixed width font.

Interactive iOS 7 Demo
Actually, today I learned Thomas Drake essentially got screwed out of his federal pension from his whistleblowing, and currently works in an Apple retail store in the DC suburbs. He has 4 sons who are approaching college age. Both Binney and Wiebe are retired (and presumably got their full pensions).

So, the ideal thing would be some kind of prize or other financial reward (or higher paying job) for Drake, or scholarships for his children.

Another option for map tiles is http://www.thunderforest.com

On the data side there's the recently launched http://opencagedata.com (disclosure, I'm the founder).

The point is with OSM there's more than one way to do it. You can dive in, get your hands dirty and do it all yourself, or work with a rapidly growing ecosystem of service providers who do the work for you at a cost. With private geodata / map providers, be they internet giants like Goog or national mapping agencies there is their way or ... their way.
OpenGL ES 3.0 lacks geometry shader support, which means it's behind even DirectX 10 a bit. OpenGL 4.3 received full backwards compatibility with OpenGL ES 3.0, so developers can still only develop for OpenGL ES 3.0 if that's what they want. But depending on how popular Kepler GPU's get in mobile, and if it's worth their time, they can use extra features in their games for those devices.

I think OpenGL 4.3 support would be a lot more helpful in making cross-platform games that work pretty much the same (but on a different scale of performance, of course) on both PC's and tablets, such as Battlefields 3 (the demo seems recorded so the video quality is not great):

Erato uses a fixed-width font because it is easy to read and makes formatting very clear. You can change the font in the Settings. I like your idea of a toggle though, I'll give it some thought and see how it might work.
"you are looking for a MS Excel spreadsheet which has ever been mailed by Bob to Cindy"

That's how I (unenthusiastically) described my job as a Java developer in the first decade of the 21st century. Not sure if by now all Excel sheets have been "consolidated". In any case mobile apps seem to be the current wave.
Especially once you start using hardware RAID controllers, the physical overhead of running I/O commands is pretty abstracted away from the kernel.
There are many thins that could be useful as a way of proving date or making a mark on a public ledger. Shall we list all of them?

You used bitcoin as an example because of your fanboyism. In no way is it obvious to use a currency or it's surrounding infrastructure for this (non intended) purpose.
Depends on what your use case is. If you just want maps on a page, third party is the fastest, easiest way to go, no doubt.

The key point with OSM though is that if you actually want to build something with a geo aspect that uses the underlying data you can. With Google you can't. That of course doesn't mean it's easy to do, but the possibility is there.
Can someone explain the inner workings of this part of the industry? So I know enough about graphics cards to make smart buying choices, but I don't know anything about the business. The biggest question is how is this different than gpu's now? I can get the same model of card from EVGA, Nvidia, BFG, etc. I go with the one with best reviews and lowest price.
I don't think I ever mentioned anything about knife fights on this forum. I also use no local rhetoric. I just wrote what I see on the country side. If you think it is a rhetoric to trick voters into voting then I am glad - you must be very far away from the problems these voters experience, and that's fine.

You live in Budapest you say. That's an entirely different place then the rest of the country.

The amount of poverty and suffering people endure in the country side is almost unimaginable. Unfortunately I can imagine it because I grew up in it.

PS:

I have been at knife fights unfortunately. That can happen when you want to drink an orange juice in a pub here.

How do you like the Hungarian language? I am a natural language geek. What do you think how does it sound? Any thoughts appreciated.
Or about 80bn EUR away from figuring it out.. would be a more useful scale imho (that's at least the number that the local plasma physics institute estimated iirc), as the ETA will keep changing if you change the yearly budget.
Doing this at the point in time in which money is about as cheap as it has ever been in history due to hyper QE to hold down rates, is a very, very bad idea.

It's not a question of if rates will rise. They're going to rise a lot, because every day that goes by the cost of artificially suppressing rates gets more expensive (which is why the Fed has had to keep expanding their QE program). Equal but opposite reaction, is what will occur, conceptually. To the extent they've created hyper cheap money, is the extent to which money will be expensive, sooner than later I'd argue.

The bond bubble is nearing an end. If the Fed wishes to continue it, it's going to cost trillions worth of new inflation, setting up a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. The era of cheap money is over.

If you want to earn a return on your $200k, wait for the inevitable disaster that follows these insane central bank policies. Swoop in with your pile of cash and pick up dirt cheap assets after the next crash. Or go after yield as rates skyrocket in the next five years.

I've never understood the general sense of incredulity that these sorts of news stories generate amongst the supposedly technically literate. It's almost as if people who should know better actually expect the nuclear industry to be running on shiny new Mac Pros, or the latest-and-greatest *nix cluster.
Well, for now we didn't do any better. :D
Okay. Tax coal to compensate for its externalities and then we'll see how the economics work out.
That forC has a dependency on a was the intention, so it needs to be run in serial.

I can't see the difference between your examples and so am confused why 1.) is serial 2.) is parallel.
Consider it the creative application of computer code to systemic weaknesses in the global economy, with a clearly defined success function which is fairly difficult to fudge. That might help explain some of the attraction. (There's also the "If you only know W-2 employees, then making money by a legitimate means other than a day job feels like cheating", and for some reason a lot of hackers like winning by rules exploitation more than they like winning.)

Though it's a lot easier to compel Apple to silently push a wiretap update to a handset than to have, several months/year ago, engineered a secret backdoor into a chipset...

You've gotta draw the line somewhere (unless you're rms). I would venture to say an open source OS and applications on worldwide-deployed hardware in the hundreds of millions count is probably safe enough for my purposes.

I've been living in Vietnam for more than two years now and there is no way I would put any significant amount of money in a Vietnamese bank. Interest rates have already fallen to under 10%. What's worse - just about everybody I've talked to that understands the Vietnamese economy thinks that the banks here are headed for a serious insolvency crisis.

A number of expats here that had planned on living comfortably off the interest of their Vietnamese bank deposits are now scrambling to come up with a plan B.

It's all what you're used to reading. If all you've been staring at are various curly-brace languages then of course you're going to prefer that.

I was primarily a curly-brace developer for 10 years, but changed my mind after a few years of Python, Ruby and Lua. Now I actually think these languages look better than the curly-brace family.
Reads like propaganda. If it's true that nuclear is just too expensive (and how would I know?), then all he needs to do is to advocate that operators post bonds (or pay pretend interest on a state-funded equivalent) for decommissioning costs.
This is about the silicon rather than the unit. Currently third party GPUs are manufactured using Nvidia-manufactured GPU chips. Nvidia sells these and manfuacturers will use their reference design, perhaps with modification, to produce a functional GPU.

What is being discussed in the link is actually licensing the GPU design itself, which would allow other companies to fabricate their own Nvidia GPU containing chips. This allows third parties to produce system on a chip designs (SoC) which incorporate Nvidia GPUs connected to other stuff, perhaps a few ARM cores or some custom DSPs or similar.

This is the approach that ARM currently take with their designs. They don't operate any fabs, but simply sell what's known as the "IP Core" to third parties (Qualcomm, Broadcom, Texas Instruments etc...)

Ultimate Guide To Redirect WordPress Feed To Feedburner
Description of apply() is backwards or at least unclear; it's not that "new Song(name) goes to Song.apply(name)", rather, "Song(name)" -> "Song.apply(name)", which is commonly (and automatically, in the case of case classes) implemented as "new Song(name)".

It's worth mentioning the positive side of more concise syntax for closures - as someone who previously used lamdbas heavily in python this is a real win. "Seq("1", "2", "foo").map({n => stoi(n)})" should just be "Seq("1", "2", "foo").map({stoi(_)})" - or, in this particular case, "Seq("1", "2", "foo").map(stoi)". Of course, the price is shown at the end as having more than one way to write the same thing - but the differences in those examples are (IMO) superficial and don't impair readability.

The specific problem of infix/suffix methods should be solved with 2.10's compiler flags. They should also go some way towards improving source compatibility (features for which the syntax is expected to possibly change will stay behind flags), while 2.10 introduces a better binary compatibility policy. Still, most of the criticism is fair, and I'm pleased to see a comprehensive impression post like this.
When you want to encode and decode JSON data of unknown format then you need to use the encode and decode functions directly which operates on ByteStrings. You really don't want to create a new record for each possible kind of JSON data container you have.

text-icu is an experimental 3rd party binding and doesn't work like pcre anyway. It's not something you would use over Haskell's standard library regexp support, so you still have to deal with X number of different string types.

Meh, it's not a huge deal. All car makers have recalls of some sort and many car model-years end up with at least one recall eventually. My car, a Corolla, is one of the most reliable on the planet but it has two recalls on comparatively minor things.

And it's good to remember that an automotive recall is very different from other sorts of product recalls. People bring their cars in and get them repaired.
