As a guy, I would be happy to be described in such a manner (even replacing hunky with sexy).

"Different strokes" and all that, right?

Oh, who am I kidding? "Political correctness uber alles"! :)
I am surprised that in his research, the author didn't come across any warnings not to sell Bitcoin on Ebay. This is pretty common knowledge these days.

I was also under the impression that PayPal does not allow selling Bitcoin or Bitcoin hardware. This transaction should have been stopped automatically, and it's a shame Ebay doesn't have automatic tools to stop blatant abuse of their own policies.
Selling virtual items on ebay is a bad idea.

But you can also block non-US buyers I believe which will slightly reduce your risk.
Honestly, all I saw was the quick buck. Total ignorance on my part. You're right, I should have researched it better.
Firefox allows you set a master password, which will hide stored passwords and not allow you to access them until you enter the master password.

I think this also encrypts the stored passwords, but I'm not sure about that.
This is part of the form letter that PayPal sends when you are caught selling BTC after the fact:

"We have reviewed your PayPal account and found that you are operating as an e-currency dealer/exchanger including the sale of electronic media of exchange (such as electronic money or digital currency). Per our current Acceptable Use Policy for Money Service Businesses, PayPal may not be used to operate a currency exchange, bureau de change or check cashing business including the sale of Bit coin."

So PayPal knows what BTC is, they just straight up ban digital currency sales.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I got severely confused by your C / Lisp analogy.
That's why profiling your code is so important.

If you have a CPU bound thread, it may be worth to pay the performance penalty of separating some of the program flow in different processes.
Have you tried using `<table>` tags? Standard Markdown allows you to write arbitrary HTML tags in your text. I used it recently to write a table in a GitHub issue comment.

If GitLab doesn’t even allow you to use `<table>` tags, that’s probably not a problem with their Markdown flavor, but a problem with the sanitization step that runs after the Markdown compilation. Unless GitLab is using a broken implementation of Markdown that doesn’t allow any inline tags.
No, what I'm saying is that if you claim "consumes exactly 0% of processor or I/O time,", (I repeat: exactly 0%) you don't know how computers work.

It's not a matter of benchmark, it's about computing 101.
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is :)
When you say real journalists take their personal biases out of their reporting and then immediately say that Fox News does the opposite, that certainly comes across as suggesting that Fox News doesn't do real journalism and that its competitors do.

And I certainly didn't say "others post blatantly biased articles" so I don't know why you used quotes when you summarized (and distorted) my comment.

Honestly, I think the term 'bias' is thrown around a bit too much and has a pejorative sense that shuts down discussion of the underlying ideas. Subjective vs. objective is probably a better way of characterizing news reports although I would argue that when you are talking about broad public policy it is pretty difficult to be 100% objective since everyone is affected by broad public policy.
Write a Greasemonkey or Userstyles script to hide them. Problem solved. I do that kind of stuff all the time to fix busted "modern" web interfaces (low contrast text, insane amounts of padding, important interface elements that only display on rollover) for web sites I use regularly.

Same on iPad, though after a minute or two (!) or so it finally begins to work. It has probably something to do with that 100000 row table on the landing page.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the original title was?
It worries me people when people think they understand each other while using the wrong words.
Even in the 1960s, the NSA was sweeping up phone call records
Rule #1: DO NOT sell virtual item on eBay.
Interesting idea. It also would be worthwhile to explore the potential of a marketplace where you can buy and sell retainers or monthly maintenance contracts.

For example, let's say you built a website for a client and included a monthly maintenance contract to fix any security issues, yet you do not have the time to service that obligation. Then you could go to such a marketplace, sell that contract, and fulfill your contractual obligations.
I'm not suggesting that people shouldn't learn JavaScript. Anyway all languages compile are abstractions of some lower level (usually multiple levels).

Yep, I'm actually making one and a dockerfile for it as we speak just so that I can deploy it myself easier. I may make it public.
A 60% shooter isn't just a random number generator though, he's a human being with his own psychology. His accuracy for a given five minute stretch might vary based on confidence, fatigue, concentration level, and all of those factors on the opposition. If a player routinely shoots poorly when he's tired, substituting him off for a rest will raise his overall accuracy from 60% to maybe 70%.
While that's something to think about, keep in mind that the level of correlation between those voxels is ridiculously high. Simply adding more voxels isn't necessarily adding useful information. Even more so, fMRI is based on the BOLD effect [1], which is highly blurred across a fairly large area. While there is potential for improvement, there are a number of pretty fundamental limitations to this technology.

The old physical interfaces aren’t surpassed yet. Physical interfaces have the advantage of sending feedback through touch. Piano keys that push up harder when you press harder help you notice how hard you’re playing, and keys that depress discretely help you aim your fingers away from the lines between keys so you are less likely to miss.

Of course, the ideal situation is a mix of electronic devices’ flexibility and physical keyboards’ feedback. That could be something like a touch screen that can raise and lower physical bumps on it to feel like keys, or vibrate with different strengths in different places to provide feedback to each finger. But we don’t have that technology yet.
I'm probably going to get a lot of flack as well, but I agree with the author.

The problem is that a number of the unsolicited redesigns come from a standpoint that is often ignorant of the stuff that matters: client requirements, existing user data, targets, different kinds of limitations (budgetary, technological, timelines, etc. - basically what the author said, and are thus often (always?) created in a perfect world-type vacuum.

If you've worked on (by that I mean you've lead the design on) medium to large sites - the kind that involves teams bigger than 5 people (not including the client's people), and involve thousands of uniques per month, monthly turnovers of hundreds of thousands of dollars, A/B tests, and lots more, you'll understand where the author is coming from.

Also, try putting yourself in the initial designer's shoes: you've worked on a site for over 5 months, dealt with weekly client meetings, countless emails, dozens of requirements, digested analytics, studied results of A/B tests, learned about subtle yet important factors, such as the difference between "buy now" and "add to cart" was an additional $50k each month, and then suddenly Random Designer A goes: "hey, look how I made this sooooo much more pretty!"

While young designers may think that the original designer's reaction is something that a grumpy old fart would make; to more experienced designers, all that Random Designer A did was expose his inexperience.
I'd love to see this get off the ground. Unfortunately, it's really vague what `this' is right now. Is this a high school replacement? Is this a summer camp? Is it a boarding school? All I can tell are that some legitimately awesome math people want to make another cool math thing.
Wouldn't this be covered under the DMCA?
>Hard to know why Microsoft stopped developing IE6 and you may be right.

Surprisingly little known story: in short MS was afraid of Linux as desktop OS, OSS world was seen as capably of quickly copying any innovative single feature. This is resulted in idea of "integrated innovation": produce innovation in app development, app framework, data access, communication, os based on it and ship it all at once, so Linux would never catch up (.Net Framework, Avalon - WPF, WinFS, Indigo - WCF, Longhorn). Obviously, plan failed (well, Linux failed to come to desktop too).

So IE was seen as done and future to be elsewhere. After IE6 ship with XP, IE team was transformed into Avalon team, consumed bunch of other teams and at it's peak Avalon project had something like 500 people working on it (after much struggle and numerous delays it shipped as WPF). So for something like two years, starting at summer of 2001, only 4-6 people worked on IE - IE Sustained Engineering team, patching security vulnerabilities. Then it became obvious that they can't keep up and some rearchitecture and refactoring are required in order to fix security problems for real. So IE Security Team was created, and some old timers were transferred from Avalon to do this security fix up, probably around 20 people.

Then it became obvious that "integrated innovation" is, in fact, too integrated to ship on time, Avalon and Longhorn are nowhere is sight, and browser war is effectively being lost for the second time to Firefox, of all things (MS management couldn't take fork of OSS fork of NN seriously for awhile). So IE Security Team was expanded, became IE7 team and happily started to work on a browser again, 3-4 years too late.

>However, the next browser was scheduled to appear with the next OS, which was Vista, which turned into a debacle.

As you can see from the story above, initially it's wasn't scheduled to appear at all.

Try Bitnami's installer. http://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab

I have their VM iso running in a VBox Headless process and it idles at 44Mb. Mind you, it only get's minimal use.
XFCE and Unity both allow you to move/resize windows without using the title bar or the ridiculously small drag handles. Both of them support alt-click+drag for moving windows from any point inside, and also resizing from the edge/corner nearest to where you click using alt-middleclick+drag (Unity) or alt-rightclick+drag (XFCE). I've rebound Unity's to use the right button as well, for consistency.

I can't speak for other DE/WMs, but I didn't want to leave someone suffering the pain of trying to resize using the corner/edge drag handles - they really are unacceptably small.

Edit: I can also add that clicking on the workspace switcher or pressing Super/Windows+s in Unity brings up a screen that lets you drag windows between viewports. I'm sure it's not what you're used to, but I find it to be sufficient.
GitHub is a profit generating entity. I don't see how you can fault any business for trying to make revenue by providing a service. Either they charge, or they show ads like Sourceforge and Wikipedia. Bring morals into a world of capitalism is silly; everything good must pay the bills to be sustainable.

The install instructions are incredibly simple. As long as you follow the instructions it is set up in less than 30 minutes...
*its citizens and its visitors
In XFCE, you can move windows by pressing them against the side of the screen. Go to Settings, WindowManager, Advanced. Click "Wrap workspaces when dragging..." and choose your desired edge resistance.

However, I prefer to re-map CapsLock to <Hyper>, and define <SHIFT>-<HYPER>-Up to move window to workspace up, and so on.

Can't help with the stealing, sorry.
My favorite part is his earnest naivety in somehow thinking he wasn't the mark and in believing that Paypal would ever side on his behalf.

This just further confirms my suspicions that you have to be retarded to get involved with bitcoin. No group of people is so easily and quickly persuaded into losing their money, and so readily eager to repeat said behavior over and over again, than bitcoiners.
Can we agree that writing did have negative impacts, but given the trajectory of human civilization since then, that the benefits have outweighed the costs?
This site is focused only on x86 rather than x86_64. In fact you'll find that this organisation of permissions within the kernel using 4 ring levels will only work on x86 as most other ISAs only have two levels, supervisor and user (ARM, MIPS, SPARC et aia).

When war becomes unmanned for the attackers, this world is going to become an incredibly terrifying place.

Can you imagine the warmongers when there is little human cost and all you have to do is cut funding education or assistance to the poor to attack another nation?

I really hope we get mandatory draft in the USA before this decade is out, it's the only way to stop the madness. If it becomes delegated to people sitting in trailers flying armed drones being yelled at to fire upon possibly innocent civilians, we are doomed.
Switching to the proprietary Broadcom driver fixed all connection issues for me: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl-dkms/
They continue to eschew using `foreman export` / `foreman run` / `bundle install --binstubs` in the docs, when it does simplify a lot of the installation / upgrade process. I've even sent pull requests that add capistrano / unattended deploy support that have gone nowhere.

I love the software, but the installation / upgrade docs are always hell compared to your average `git pull && bin/rake db:migrate && foreman export`.

Having said all that, I'm running it on an old box with 512MB of ran and it's tolerable.
What does a tiling window manager give you that you can't just replicate with keystrokes that resize applications to any quadrant/half of the screen?

I had a T40 and used it for web development work. As soon as I could afford it, I bought an MBP. I love Linux, but OSX gives me everything great about Unix and none of the bad stuff. At first I hated that I couldn't use Scribes, but then I discovered Sublime Text. The MBP is a much better machine all around. If you're doing web work, you should be able to afford one. If not, you should probably re-examine your business practices.
No significant 4/3 mirrorless camera on the market is lacking full manual controls, so I'm not sure what you are talking about. Shutter, F-stop, ISO, focus, everything can go manual.
No, that's just a Clevo rebrander.
>The "de facto standard?" This view is probably common among programming hipsters but its hard to take seriously.

I didn't realize the entire web developer community was comprised of only "hipsters", whatever that word even means now.
It's a good thing to be scammed for a small amount at some point IMO. It's like a vaccine; makes you more careful in the future. I lost $10 to Bitscalper in 2012; amount was insignificant but it certainly did teach me the stupidity of trusting anonymous people with money in the hopes of getting a few percent profit.
The cost is shifted onto the publishers so technically there's no cost to consumers but there may be a cost in the long run to the ad-supported model many sites rely on.

Marissa Mayer is apparently famous for not being a feminist and for wearing Oscar De La Renta outfits in the midst of nerds. The subject of your defense disagrees with you. Pointless effort.
The root cause is important to engineers and product managers, not consumers.
Understood. But I cannot imagine a data migration framework that would be anything more than a scaffold for custom functions.

Imagine the difficulty involving forward and backward data migrations. I cannot imagine a way to automate this.

In any case, you can't have it both ways. Either you do it in SQL, or you do it in Python using the ORM. There isn't a third option.
This was great to mess with on my Chromebook Pixel's touch screen! Just makes me wish there were a way to force multitouch instead of two finger taps always brings up the context menu.
Thanks for generalizing us. I never realized I was retarded.
Hmm...I found the setting and it sure looks promising. I can switch between workspaces by moving the mouse cursor, as long as I am not dragging a window. If I am dragging a window then it refuses to switch.

Anyways thanks for the tip.
Yes there are signs that the empire is cracking, but I can only go on rumor and news media since I'm in Sweden. Though when I use the word hegemony, I definitely include us here in Sweden.
Microsoft is a dead brand. I started saying this in 2004. I still believe it today.

Really, even after the era of huge success with Windows 7 and the Xbox 360 you were still saying this? Is that when you bought the Xbox 360 from the "dead brand". Do you always throw down hundreds of dollars for products from dead brands?
Counter-anecdote: my company switched from a github.com organization to GitHub Enterprise and it was (is) fantastic. No corruption, great support, easy to manage, surprisingly fast upgrade cycle, etc.

Not trying to downplay the problems you seem to have had, just don't want to see the classic "complaints when things go wrong, silence when things go right" pattern with a product that I think is really great.
What does non-native mean here? All of the persistence options for Ember (Ember Data, Ember Model, EPF) very intentionally don't come bundled in Ember core. Not sure what you're trying to point out here.
Project Request: Make a Haken Continuum
I remember there was an article about a guy becoming millionaire with a dating site and it was all about matching young girls and wealthy men. I had to do a quick search on Google, the man is called Brandon Wade: http://www.businessinsider.com/brandon-wade-mit-nerd-built-a...
If bloat is a concern, I used to use gitweb (which is Perl) over CGI on a sharer server and performed very well for my uses. All I had to do was write a short shell script to create the repo on the server, and SSH was running for me anyway (especially if I was going to push-pull).

Now I use cgit, and discovered it a while before the Linux kernel did. [0] It is crazy fast (CGI written in C! Can you believe the nads on those guys?) and will be portable anywhere C is.

If only I could get git's smart HTTP working, but I could not find much on the internet to clue me in. Still pretty cool.

Am I the only one being reminded of the Dune spice harvester or sandcrawlers?

"A large (often 120 meters by 40 meters) spice mining machine commonly employed on rich, uncontaminated melange blows (often called a "Crawler" because of a bug-like body on independent tracks)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dune_ships

Harvester paper model (by 'The 4ce')

"Spice harvesters are large vehicles specialy designed to harvest the Spice Melange. Because of the rythmic sound they make, they are regularly eaten by Sandworms. When Muad' Dib asked Liet Kynes if they would see a sandworm while veiwing the spice harvesting, Kynes replied that they always come when they hear a spice harvester."

Ironically if you had sent it through the post on a USB key you'd be in the clear.

Kinda takes the point out of bitcoin though doesn't it?
Ebay does have some filters that stop blatant abuse of their policies: https://ebay.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/69

It does appear that they haven't yet implemented a filter to prevent/warn sellers from selling Bitcoin, though.
So, can't you remove the money straight away, then close the account? Sounds like this should be doable.
It's already too late. The US military trains more drone pilots than fighter pilots. The undeclared drone war in pakistan has killed over 2000 so far. The future has come and gone.
I loved Palm. I wondered why more people didn't buy them.
I once looked up a price of Halo 2 at 9 p.m. on a library
Internet access( open at the time), and bought 500
copies of Halo 2 for $2.99 each. I sole all of them
on ebay for at least 30 a piece. I knew nothing about
vid games, but I knew they were priced to move.

I felt like I was the only one in the world who realized
how great having Internet access was in my pants pocket.
Now Everyone is connected.
OK, then it looks like whoever sells BTC on eBay and uses paypal is pretty much setting himself up for trouble. So the OP has nobody to blame but himself...
it may be good for microsoft?
IBurn for Burning Man - iOS and Android - open source
Yeah, I'm kind of the same way. I love Unity and want them to succeed heavily, but I wish they'd jive better with the rest of the Linux world.

I haven't used Gnome 3 enough to make a fair comparison, but I loved Gnome 2 and was loathing the transition to Unity with 12.04. After a few days of using it though, I loved most of what it offered me. Realistically, my biggest concerns were screen real estate (13" laptop, minimal vertical pixels) and quick access to my programs (cmd opens the launcher), so i was really happy with Ubuntu for that.
That's because the said data framework is still far from being production ready and complete. I fail to see why it is a sad thing. It is actually good for the Ember ecosystem that other options are available even when the core team is forced to distribute efforts on all fronts, leading to a slowly evolving data library.
So I've never been apart of a group of consultants, I usually just have personal connections that would fit well taking over the contract. I imagine this is commonly done with other consultants, but I'm not sure of the frequency.

Sometimes I just want to get rid of a client and it would be nice to find an exact fit than refer a friend who isn't totally qualified for the position.
It was “A guy called Vasili Arkhipov saved the world”, a quote from a former NSA director, taken from the first paragraph of the article.
I had a low-end travel laptop that turned into my main laptop for three years when my previous laptop died.

This $80 setup sounds cheap until you realize you're paying the real cost with your time.

You'll pay the toll every time you:

- Have more than a few browser tabs open, god forbid you plan on running Youtube in one of them.

- Want to quickly open Firebug.

- `rails server` or `rake test`.

- Run out of 512mb after opening two apps.

- Decide which tabs/apps to close to free up some resources.

But those aren't even the best examples since the reality is that it's nickel and diming your time in a way you won't realize until you finally get a machine that liberates you from all the waiting.
Yeah, who would believe that Paypal would side with a seller which has a proof of delivery in what is probably the most secure database in the world. Sheeesh.
I understand now your comment and tend to agree with you. However, as you say, that is not properly "politeness" but simple fear, as you say.
