If you work in Manhattan or on the SF Bay peninsula, it is unlikely that you can afford to live there.

You don't see something wrong with this? Maybe we as a society are messed up because we consider a one hour commute (one way) to be "normal". Maybe we need to start reconsidering the value of living closer to where we work, or the fact that you can't get "Quality of life, better schools, proximity to outdoor activities, etc" close to where we work. Maybe if wages were more competitive, or housing costs weren't inflated, we could afford to live closer to where we work.
That's a special kind of evil.
Or sent him to the same prison before all those kids got released for wrongful imprisonment.
The only thing that's missing is a mapping from 'symbol #28' into 'ascii #63'. Internally it's storing instances of symbols plus font data for those symbols.

Also, something to think about: an EBCDIC document accidentally printed as ASCII/8859-1 would have equally zero semantic meaning when fed into an OCR program. But I don't think anyone would argue it wasn't OCR.

Yes, I was very sad when I read that I needed a running Chef Server to begin using Deis.
Thats not true, the government actually owns a large share of Grameen bank. Actually they are the largest shareholder of GB. Technically and legally the government has the right to take over the bank and restructure it in according to the "constitution" of the bank. There are some minor discrepancies, nothing serious. However they could have handled it better, more diplomatically without pissiing off everyone.

It goes without saying, as others mentioned already, the current government is rightfully scared of Yunus, he is extremely popular and well received by everyone
outside the current political parties. At one time, he contemplated joining politics; but decided against it. If he decides to run again, he can single handedly wipe out the current political status quo.

It doesn't look like he is interested in getting his hands dirty.

However, when building an infographic, the information is meant to be displayed in a useful and interesting way. Shouldn't be a puzzle to be deciphered.
Seconded. People often get overwhelmed at the scope of "become more fit" once they've finished a workout or two. Doing it one small accomplishable bit at a time is a totally valid way of building a fitness habit, and is NOT something to be ashamed of. And for the RPG nerds here this is exactly how you level-up IRL.

For those that do not know, IBM processors are used in high-performance computing applications. Some of the world's fastest supercomputers are based on POWER [1]. These supercomputers can have hundreds of thousands or even millions of cores for massively parallel computing. We've seen recently from some of these systems that the POWER processors are much more effective than x86 processors. They consume lower power and generate less heat. If combined with Nvidia GPU's for CUDA and Mellanox's commodity InifiniBand interconnect hardware, we could have affordable clusters for heterogenous high-performance computing.

In the past, the supercomputers/clusters sold by IBM do not include hardware from these other companies. I think this partnership with Tyan (major manufacturer of current x86 chipsets) will also allow 3rd-party vendors to build systems with IBM POWER processors.

In other words, POWER is not in the same market as x86 or ARM. It does have its own niche in the market.

Well, you've certainly convinced me to sign up for the book. I'm always up for new ideas, and as long as they're not all Kite-surfing Naked Through Cannibal Country, I'll happily keep an open mind.
Awesome! I was looking for this article about 12 months ago. Still just as useful to know today as it was then.

For anyone who doesn't already know this inside and out, the tl;dr spoiler: the surprises are that procs do not even care how many arguments they are passed, and that they can return on behalf of the function in which they are executed.

Compared to lambdas, which spew runtime errors if they don't get the right number of arguments passed in, and which always return control to the line after where they were executed, regardless of whether the return keyword is used.

I'm reminded of the Dave Thomas pipelines using fibers series of articles. I'll just leave this here:

It is the execution that counts. The world could use a third mass architecture. Especially one that is not too tightly IP locked. The whole web 0.1, 1.0,2.0 came from the fact that PC clones were everywhere.

Benchmarking a fast remote static server is pointless.

You're basically benchmarking your internet connection.
Not surprising. The company I used to work for bought tens of millions in HW per year, much of it from IBM. However, the future plans are to move to "cloud" solutions, which, of course, still require HW (difference being that the cloud vendor will own it), but the utilization of cloud HW should be much, much higher than our utilization rates, such that on net about half as much HW would be required.

Of course, we were really, really awful at managing our HW capex, so that may be an extreme example, but even if 25% less HW is required across many industries that's a huge blow to revenues.
Yes, I gave up after the first three paragraphs, too much hero worship and hyperbole.
I don't think it's fair to compare what happened in India with Grameen Bank. What happened in india was flat out scam. GB on the other hand is a successful institution with proper checks and balance and does business in many countries. The problem with GB and the BD government has little to do with financial scam and more to do with trying to take over the institution on some banal technicalities in an effort to discredit Yunus, because of the reason you already mentioned. If Yunus gets into politics it can do some serious damage to the present status quo and they are scared of it.

I currently live here. The whole country is pretty much pissed off, because of this.
How can you get that from that reply? He specifically said they are not.
fwiw Pidgin takes this same approach for the same reasons. https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/PlainTextPasswords

"locking" the passwords would require intermittent master-pass entry like `sudo`, this would come off as an inconvenience to many users.

I think people here miss the fact that many users, even if they say they want more security, are unwilling to give up convenience and will switch platforms (i.e. browsers) if that's what it takes to get a smoother experience. In many ways (in this particular instance) security vs. convenience is more or less 0 sum- chrome team has decided users would prefer more convenience which means less security. Chrome team is giving users what they want: ease of use.

You can do all of these things and it won't make you happy. Barring any clinical depression issues, "happiness" is a choice to accept the conditions in which you live and to just Be Happy. If you ever start a sentence with "I'll be happy when..." then you are not ever going to be happy.

I had to learn this the hard way. Almost everything I owned was destroyed in a flood a couple of years ago. I watched one of my housemates freak out and cry for days about it. It couldn't have been shoved in my face harder that the choice was mine. I could assume that happiness came from the lifestyle I designed for myself, as my housemate did, and therefore it had just been completely destroyed with no hope of coming back any time soon. Or, I could assume happiness was a state of being that could be achieved at any point in time, no matter what was going on: that there are no prerequisites to happiness.

And suddenly, I was happy.

And then I met my wife. And I got to more work that I loved, rather than needed. And found a modicum of success in my consultancy. And got out of debt. And made a lot of new, wonderful friends. After years of being unhappy and getting nowhere on the goals that I thought would make me happy, I flipped a switch and found out that the goals required happiness out of me.
I'm sure they'll be included with the state and judge in a class-action case to be filed shorty (if not already).
1) Chrome doesn't show "all passwords". It only shows passwords that Chrome knows about. The two categories might overlap, but they're not actually the same.

2) Either the browser demands an unlock password every single time it queries the password store--which is probably not an acceptable experience for most users--or the browser can arbitrarily read the password store when left unattended. There's no meaningful middle ground here. An option to demand a credential before unlocking the store might be nice for nerds, but nerds don't need it anyway, because they can use 1Password (or similar) to do this for them. It's simply not tenable for normals. Good grief, just look at the wailing and moaning that the UAC prompts in Windows Vista generated. Those prompts by default didn't even demand credentials, just a click through.

All this "no hierarchy" and "no management" movement seems really nice. What I want to see, Valve included, is how they keep it when there is no money.

So far Valve is doing pretty good and still sometimes there are some talk about silos and how it does not work for everyone.

I don't know much about Medium finances but I would love to see stories about these management strategies in companies that are actually trying to earn some money and don't have pockets full of cash just waiting to be spent.
Check out Scrivener. I've written a number of books on it, and it's the best way I've found to contain and organize a gazillion different ideas.

I'm not sure how this works on a PC with IE/FF/Chrome/Opera used as a desktop browser to access Twitter. Will a private key sit on my PC?
I would assume that more account hacks originate from a desktop pc (using brute force attack methods, etc) rather than from a phone, hence a PC requires further security?

Do you guys have a service for law firms so they can run their bill through your algorithm and get a list of bill entries clients are likely to flag? Could be useful for firms looking to maximize revenue and reduce client complaints.

Partners typically edit bills substantially before sending them out to clients, and I know a partner in my current job spends hours doing this every week for our practice group; I don't think he has much love for the process, so a way of automating it would be amazing, I'm sure.

The First Steps to Writing a Book
Same with me. I can't log in to the Twitter Android app anymore.
the logging is in the camera system; Most camera systems have ways of saying 'fast forward to the next movement' as well as a way to say 'show me what things looked like at time X' - so in a real way, the DVR /is/ the log.

I'm mostly familiar with electronic locks and cameras in the data center context, and in that context, yes, there is a completely analog key that often opens everything[1], but then there are electronically fired locks, and, of course, a camera. There is camera software that will time sync with the electronic lock and show you what user had authenticated while showing you a video of the user entering the building. I don't know of any systems that correlate cameras with key use, but the motion-sensing thing should do at least part of that.

(There is also usually security sitting up front, but especially in the early AM when it's just us grunts? those folks are often not paying a whole heck of a lot of attention.)

[1]well, on the fail secure systems, anyhow. the mag-locks that are 'fail safe' - that open on power failure usually don't have an obvious manual key override.
I've read about these topics for a long time, and I quickly concluded that the author(s) made no effort at skepticism. You absolutely cannot rely on such superficial analysis of research. Even if you don't know anything you should be suspicious (examples: women need more sleep than men "because their brains are more complicated", 8.5 hrs sleep is less healthy than 5 hrs - correlation/causation error at least; meditation doesn't just calm the mind but is also one of the best ways to buy lasting happiness (evidence: quote from meditation advocate)).
I started doing the seven-minute workout before I showered and ate breakfast in the morning and it improves my day immeasurably. Getting the juices flowing as soon as possible is quick, easy, and wonderful.

All of the RISC chips were dying anyway. Intel was starting to build steam with the Pentium Pro and Pentium II, Wintel servers were getting cheaper and more common, Windows was becoming 'good enough' and Linux started to push the expensive traditional Linuxes off the table.
Right, I'm not arguing against any of that. The point is if it's going to be that insecure, Chrome should make more of an effort to make it clear. They could do this by displaying a warning alongside the prompt to save a password.

Also, just because some people will be able to access the passwords with physical access doesn't mean it's not worth doing basic/unsecure locking. I'd rather use a system where people need to have the know how to use keyloggers in order to break, over one where Joe Schmoe can walk in and take everything.

In the end I have always known the security issues with saving passwords so I don't save any banking passwords or email account passwords in any browser.

I have come across this kind of support numerous times from various companies like Apple, NEC and Wacom. The result is, I firmly recommend them everytime I have a chance and will continue to do them as long as they provide transparency.
Besides the fact that PowerPC is still very common in embedded systems (and provided the CPU in all three of the last generation of game consoles), POWER != PowerPC. IBM Watson was a POWER7 system, as are a bunch of the top 500 supercomputers and many many large business big iron servers running AIX.
Agreed.

I agree. The other big draw for me is that moments on snapchat are fleeting -- which to some degree mimics in-person experiences. It certainly leads to some je ne sais quoi that other messaging/social networking platforms don't have.
I feel ya. I've occasionally thought about server-side Obj-C, but usually dismiss it because I enjoy Python and Ruby so much. However, there are several ideas I'd like to build out for cross-platform desktop apps (for developers), and I really wish I could use Obj-C because I just flat-out enjoy programming with that language.
I agree with the overreach of the law and possible, obvious abuses.

However, police are able to arrest for a crime at any point of the process. That said, other than ones that aren't reversible (like murder), they usually let you commit the crime and then arrest you. This makes it easier to prosecute you.

I don't necessarily have a problem with asset forfeiture just that it needs to be required to be associated with a conviction, there should be a cap on what the police get (to avoid overzealous use), and there should be a quick and logical appeal process to prevent innocents having property taken via 'splash damage'.

This deeply relates with the "Do things that don't scale" essay from PG.

http://paulgraham.com/ds.html

As long as you can, do things that don't scale. Even if the end of this history were different, the writer would have lost near to nothing, and possibly gained some insight.
It absolutely can. I used to be pretty overweight. And I, too, had 17 appointments and 200 emails a day. So naturally, my excuse for not hitting the gym every day was, "I don't have time". I've heard that same excuse a thousand times from a thousand people. I went on a run every couple of weeks to make myself feel like I had done my fitness duty, but that was the most I ever did.

And then one day I took the plunge, I accidentally woke up early and decided to go to the gym (my family had a membership). I didn't even know what to do, really. I jogged on a treadmill for a bit, jostled around on a few weight machines, did a few dumbbell curls. I felt like a dumbass who didn't belong there. And I was sleepy. It sucked.

But then I woke up an hour and a half early the next morning and I did it again. And again. Every fucking day. It eventually started sucking less and less.

Two weeks later I had streamlined my gym visit (waking up -> changing -> pre-workout drink -> drive to gym -> workout -> home -> shower -> protein -> work) to 65 minutes and change. And I felt (and actually looked) better than I had in years.

Three years later, and my workout is now an immutable part of my day. It's on my calendar, whether I'm working or on vacation. In town or overseas. And nobody fucks with those 65 minutes that I never had time for back in the day.
Personally I grew up in this world. I spent a lot of time on the computer in middle school building webpages with dreamweaver. Although I went to film school I retaught myself (minus dreamweaver) to code for the web using front and back end technologies. There are a lot of great resources out there, but personally I really enjoyed Lynda ones. I feel that site gets the reputation that it's for old people who don't know any where else to go, but it contains very full and comprehensive walk throughs of whatever subject you're wanting to learn. It does cost money however, so if you're not willing to pay or don't have the cash for it look around the web. Places like the mozilla developer network are a great place to start.

Long story short, I don't think there's really one-stop-shopping when it comes to learning something new. There's a lot of information out there that requires a lot of research, but the great part (if you truly enjoy coding) is that it's fun research, fun to search for new things, build new things, take on new challenges. :) Good Luck!
