Well my point was that I personally find the idea of a unified namespace for global system objects (files, pipes, sockets, processes etc) more powerful than the idea of a unified namespace of fd's within a single process.

I would just say that there are big differences between a JS `for` loop (`for in` in CS) and an ES5 `forEach`. The fact that you are creating a new function scope and are not returning all elements as you might expect:

arr = new Array 3
arr.push 4

( alert el for el in arr )

arr.forEach alert

I bet tvrage.com (started in june 2005) eventually stole a lot of traffic from tv.com, i have vague memories of a redesign by tv.com which broke old links, and was not very usable.
> The most difficult task was to teach them things they were previously taught incorrectly.

That is an easy thing to fix. If they take everything the teacher tells them at face value, they are bound to to repeat silly errors (and worse, biases,) in the teachers knowledge. If you teach them that the teacher might err (including you), then it is so much easier for you to demonstrate how they know wrong. Even better, if you fail at something while teaching (everybody do), they will be more likely to correct you, and you will learn something from them.

If you work on something for 3-4 months, that's $30-40K at valley rates. To do this for free with the intention to enhance the product offering of a megacorp basically sends the message that you don't value your time. Of course said megacorp is not going to give you the time of day. They start to pay attention when the dollar value of your account is large enough. Start charging for your app. Then you can say, "I want to make us both some more money, could you please help me?"

It's been mentioned before that, considering the volume Google serves in all their services, it's unrealistic to expect any sort of customer service beyond the FAQ and bot variety, but I'm sure there are those who are willing to pay for an actual response.

But, as one of my clients would attest, even if you're a paying customer, you may still be left hanging in the wind. I hope they don't start spreading the YouTube feedback treatment to all their services.

For all the reasons you listed, if we’re going to crack the problem of strong AI in the next century, we’re not going to be doing it by simulating the brain at the atomic or molecular level. However the lower level simulations are important because we still don’t have deep understanding of how neurons work.

An overwhelming amount of neuroscience research data points to the neocortex reusing the same functional unit composed of 100's-1000's of neurons called a cortical column. For example one patient was able to regain her balance by rerouting the signal from her vestibular system to her tongue. So the cortical column is the layer of abstraction we should be shooting for.

Hopefully we'll move away from the 1950’s style perceptron, whose mathematical simplicity has attracted researchers but has been a major distraction to AI as they share almost nothing in common with their biological counterparts. If we don’t want to see a 3rd AI winter, we need to move to more biologically inspired approaches.

Google does give a lot of love to developers. AFAIK, they have dedicated developer teams for developer relations; just look at the quality of their API documentations and support. This one looks like a operations issue. Perhaps they do not have a corresponding relations team focused on operations support.
If you want some privacy, you have to pay for it. Is that really that unreasonable?
I wouldn't say that it is impossible. I'm witnessing a large advertising campaign promoting the Piratenpartei in my part of Germany.

However, I do believe that Falkvinge is naive. Although his theory (I believe) seems sound, his tipping point is way further away than he thinks.

The reality is that the tipping point lies with the younger generation. The older generation are (in the main), a completely lost cause. They don't get it and they don't want to. They have other concerns; support for their children, jobs, health, pensions and social services.

The Piratenpartei need to have a multi-faceted offering to encourage more older people to vote for them.

In the long term, the younger generation who have a concern and understanding of privacy concerns are the key.

However, (and this is a really important point), the next generation AFTER them won't get it. They will have grown up in a society where (for example) privacy is not an natural right. They will be ingrained into a habit of downloading via iTunes, Amazon and Google. They won't know any different. They are embedded in their world of Facebook and iPhones. They only know a narrow internet world, that is controlled by a few large corporations.

Therefore the Piratenpartei have a narrow window of time in which to lodge a foot in the Bundestag. They need to gain enough popular support from the generation who grew up in a world where (briefly) the pay walls didn't exist, and things were free. The latter generation are quite possibly a lost cause.
Also worth mentioning, with kouio, paying customers will never be competing with freeloaders for resources :-)
Actually I did see the Milky Way and some nebula but I don't remember which one. This was a long time ago.

The reason I could see them is that my eyes do adapt to the night really well. I can still see around me when it is really dark while most people start remarking that it is getting dark. A side effect is that when I'm well adapted to dark places and a car passes by I get blinded by the head lights.

Some consequences of unintended cloning are explored in the movie "The 6th Day".

But if some "transportation" is required, it may be easier and cheaper to just send information, and to use the energy and matter found at the destination to build the copy.

Ethically, it may be preferable to keep the original copy, even if legally it is a problem. But ethics should prevail on legality.

Is Startrek civilization more legalist than ethic?

Otherwise, what we'd really want, is not teletransportation, but updating of space coordinates without using any transportation.
Which is presumably why his article is talking about what it will take to achieve majority support within the EU, and focusing on Germany as way of increasing support on EU Commission level, rather than talking about "indulging some minor political party's crazy sauce in some inconsequential EU state".

I think Google has such a strong consumer following now that it isn't as interested in keeping the developers happy. We were early adopters so got a good amount of attention at the start but that certainly seems to have waned with Google's popularity.
If a PaaS/VPS provider is actually USING Docker to provide their service, it probably wouldn't be the best platform to actually TRY Docker in. It's easy enough to get it set up on DigitalOcean; I created a tutorial at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-insta...
The big problem with all of this is that despite Tor being a decentralised network, 50% of sites on Tor were centralised in the hands of one provider. For Tor, this is like Amazon EC2 permanently going down. It'll route around the problem and they FBI will have probably stopped a total number of 0 child porn consumers and authors in the process, but it'll be heralded as a success by the FBI because they'll have stopped an individual person from facilitating child porn for a short while by destroying his life and taking out a large amount of legitimate free speech in the form of collateral damage.

The situation for Twitter is messy no matter what they do. A report link also opens them up to a tiny liability of 'I reported it and you did nothing', so they'll likely default to leaning on ban first ask questions later. Again, just like Youtube has. Messy, but interesting to follow what they do.
I assume he was performing some sort of authenticated action - e.g. against the svn repository - and providing the password as a command-line argument rather than interactively. This would not only leave the password in the history, but would make it visible to anyone else on the machine who runs ps whilst the command is executing. It's terrible security practice, but I've seen it done more times than I can count.
I notice you're syncing tasks every minute. Perhaps a short-term workaround is to sync every 2 or every 5 minutes while you wait for the quota to increase?

It does if you're careless enough to type them out in clear text, e.g. when connecting to a mysql database:

You don't have to pay $78K though. If you are old enough medicare will pay almost all of it.

And if younger you should have catastrophic insurance which will pay all but a few thousand of that - and that type of insurance is very cheap.

PS. No one - at all - pays list price for medical care. So completely and utterly ignore such numbers unless your goal is to be disingenuous. The numbers billed by medical providers are from the output of a random number generator, they have no basis in reality, and no one pays it.
Which defeats having a flag for an "invisible" temp file, since it'll still be visible (and accessible) in /proc.

I put in an API quota bump for Google Calendar a few months back and it was silently accepted after 2-3 days.

Based on my experience, each team individually deals with quotas for their API. Google Tasks is not really a dedicated product so it probably has little to no permanent team behind it. This is probably the cause for the slow response time on quota requests.

What about Youtube? Never in history could people so easily share their lives with the whole planet and it being archived very well (and searchable). Think about the impact it (already) has on the future, when people somewhere hundred years from now can look back at so much of human history in full color and sound etc. We as humans are currently recording so much for future generations. Half of it may be crap, but on the other side there's also a lot of good stuff.

Don't feel too bad about what you did to Chinese people. At least game chat is far less a privacy concern for me, compared to forum, email or instant message which have been fully censored in China already.

But you might want to feel sorry about your government who clearly "improved" a lot in the last few years after it learned Yahoo's leak person email to Chinese government.

That simply isn't true. They have support for some very specific areas which they consider of specific importance (e.g. Android), for the rest you're left to rot.

This has nothing to do with ops, it's a developer needing a raise in his apps requests quota.
I'm what I would consider a "well-seasoned" JavaScript developer and disagree. I think CoffeeScript is better for people who already know JavaScript decently well than newbies. CoffeeScript doesn't help you avoid learning JavaScript, it just makes it more pleasant.
It just doesn't make sense. Without developers all the innovation happens elsewhere, and at some point the consumers will switch. Google cannot keep up with innovation internally, and they're not attracting new talent with such a hostile developer stance.

9 Essential Tools that will Power your Startup to Success
Bug triaging is a great way to contribute for people who can not (yet) code. Nice site!
I've found that the best way to contribute to most open source projects is to try to use them, and then fix whatever shortcomings become obvious. This only works for things that are fairly new, and have obvious problems, but those can be a lot of fun.
I think this are the kind of comments that turn people away from the freedom argument. If Eric Eoin Marques is proven beyond reasonable doubt to be the operator of the freedom hosting and that he knew about the child porn content, he should be responsible for the content.

Look at this argument in real world terms. If you are an owner and operator of a motel, and you rent a room to someone who then goes on to rape and kill a girl in that room, you are not responsible for those actions. Even if you made no effort to check the identity of the renter, and accepted cash, you are still innocent, at least morally (legally, depends on the state). However, if you happen to pass by the window of that room, see the occupant killing a girl in that room, you have the moral and legal duty to call the cops.

I would never argue that the tor network, the node operators, the exit node operators, or the internet companies used to run the tor traffic would ever in any way be responsible for the child porn. Likewise, the camera manufacturers, and the manufacturers of all the hardware used to store and distribute said child porn would never be liable for that content. But, surely, the guy who rented the infrastructure to the child porn ring operators would be liable, if it can be proven that he knew for a fact that specific clients of his service used it for child porn.

Now, the reason I say specific clients is because it's not enough to argue that he knew or should have known that some of his clients used the service for child porn. AT&T knows for a fact that some of their clients use the internet connection AT&T provides for child porn, but no one would argue that AT&T is guilty. But specific knowledge equals guilt in my mind.
The anti-copyright activists in Europe had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make a dent, and they blew it. They wont get a second chance to give copyright problems a wide attention as they had 2009-2010, because loads of other problems are now shattering the EU and copyright pales in comparison.

The German Pirate Party essentially lost focus and self-destructed. After being founded by a bunch of physicists, computer scientists, mathematicians, mostly males focused on copyright and surveillance, after the few first electional successes they forgot to screen who is joining the increasingly popular party. Because of that, they were mass-infiltrated by more tenacious leftists, humanists, feminists, genderists and other fringe political parasites, who increasingly drove out the well-intentioned but invertebrate STEM guys who founded the party in the first place.

The German Pirate Party of today is an unelectable, goalless, anarchist mess resembling the Pirate Party of 4-5 years ago only in the name.
Google are terrible at developer support, but I think it is fair to say that they didn't foresee anybody using the Tasks API in this way, where you are proxying for all your users.

Keep persisting, but as a temporary measure I would prompt your users to provide you with their own API key. Lots of apps do this (such as CMS plugins). You can give them a link to the API portal and explain in 2-3 points how to generate a key and paste it back in your app.

Also, your app is in debug mode, so errors are showing a complete stack trace. Your database is also down right now.

Which third line of the post is this? I don't see anything about him releasing the source. And if you read up on the case, you will find that what he actually did was to upload encrypted archives that he then downloaded from home. I don't believe there's any allegation that he publicly distributed any of this source.
I know it sucks, but in the meantime have you considered slowing those sync tasks down if the user's "last activity" timestamp is older than a few minutes? You might even be able to make it sync faster for active users with the extra overhead afforded there.

Logins, refreshes, clicks, new things synced, etc... can all update the last activity timestamp.
1. Since when can you write web applications in assembly?

2. Languages built upon assembly generally have better user experience, better tooling, better semantics and effectively no more dependencies than assembly. CoffeeScript has very slightly better user experience, worse tooling, identical semantics and more dependencies than javascript.

As it stands now, WP8 is the incumbent. If all developers applied the "pay us to make it for your new platform" attitude, it doesn't bode well for newcomers.

Also, the tone used can be taken in bad taste, since this was a kickstarter asking for "support".

That's an overreaching interpretation of parent's post. Besides, the "rights" issue is a red herring. Making an analogy - and yes, I know it's not accurate, it's an analogy -, people don't have a the "right" to a free car, but if I am going to offer free cars, surely we can agree they should have breaks.

The idea that because it's free it's above all criticism is simply unreasonable.
