Yup it seems the link only persists for a few minutes. But given the knowledge that a lot of people are currently installing longview and that it takes only less than a minute to iterate though all the possible combinations of the 4 character token, it could still be exploitable. They should definitely increase the token length to a safe number.
That would probably just serve to confuse people, as it's essentially two VR* engines grafted together. The VR6 is, while more common than the W's, still fairly obscure even within the VAG line of autos, and certainly outside of it.

So, yes, they're cool machines, but probably not a whole lot of utility in this context as they work the same way, but in a funky shape :)

What’s New in Node.js and libuv – Sept 5, 2013
> it often destroys my motivation to finish what I started

Shit code, mine or others, highly motivates me. To refactor/fix it. To the point I have a really hard time making targeted, single purpose commits.

Because I have pride in my work, concern for the dev who has to maintain this shit after me, and understand costs of technical debt.
This is good news, and research to help prevent, treat, or cure Down's Syndrome is probably a good thing.

But I'm gently squeamish about it. I know many people who have Down's Syndrome (and other learning disabilities) and me welcoming this research feels a bit like me saying those people should not exist.
For people with zero knowledge of either, I think the following analogy is somewhat (but obviously not completely) apt:

Scala is to Ruby what Go is to Python.
OK maybe you're right. Can you show me an objectively better one?
1. Is there anything Phil Hellmuth won't shill for?

2. When this machine showed up ~2? years ago, there was a thread on 2+2 about it, and it would sometimes do some weird things like not value bet in obvious situations. They explain it in this article by saying it's, "playing dumb" but that seems like it would be a huge leak against Limit Hold'em HU specialists. I am guessing that they assume that they can make up for it in the weaker players losing consistently against this machine.

3. It is kind of annoying that the guy is proud that he "broke" a 24 year old player.
Exploited how? It's only used to send data in and it should be a pretty simple matter to not accept traffic from multiple machines for one API key. I accidentally used the same shortlink to install on two servers last night and saw a "there are multiple servers sending data, check your configuration" error (while the stats stayed correct).
and it is Down's syndrome, named after John Down.

The preference in the international medical literature is to name syndromes WITHOUT the possessive suffix on the name of the discoverer, partly because languages don't agree on what grammatical ending to use to indicate genitive case. Thus the standard name of this syndrome, for people who don't more descriptively say "trisomy 21," is "Down syndrome," without the apostrophe-s ending.

I'm guessing Apple releases screens viewable in direct sunlight
And yet this story keeps happening, over and over and over across the years. Remember the $1 million-plus raised for hurricane relief raised after Katrina that PayPal threw down the drain by declaring that they wouldn't release it until long after it mattered?

If PayPal has good reasons not to accept donations and crowdfunding, they shouldn't fucking accept donations or crowdfunding, instead of letting users get in deep enough to get screwed before dropping the hammer. Maybe it's buried in the small print that they don't expect anyone to read. The burden is on them to communicate effectively. They need to either openly refuse to accept those accounts in the first place, or else come up with a separate way of dealing with them that works for all involved. Holding funds in escrow should not be a complicated problem.

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. But from everything i've read (all the documentation for these frameworks suck, though Mason's is the most readable) still seems like Mesos supports the features of the previous two tools, for the most part. Is there some reason its feature set wasn't just tweaked a bit to handle those two cases? Like, why is there a distinction between a long-running and a short-running job? Repeating a job is also not an especially complicated task that should require a whole new framework to accomplish.

The reason i'm asking these questions is I want to know if I need to use these tools. It seems like kids these days just immediately grab up every new tool they can and try to shove them into their environment, vs trying to find the right fit or configure them properly. It feels like Marathon and Chronos are mostly unnecessary - this is evident once you realize Mesos is a framework you can build on to do the same things Marathon and Chronos do with a lot less complexity.

AWS doesn't give you any minutes of data retention if you aren't paying them by the hour for the server. You can use Longview on any server, it does not have to be hosted by Linode.

If you host with Linode you already get access to graphs going back a year for CPU / Network and IO. Longview is in addition to that offering.

A week or two ago, a friend of mine mentioned going to PAX East and I was all for it. Now I'm not quite sure. I really think the quote by Rich Stevens in the article matches my feelings.

> I could get over the original comic if they’d just moved on or apologized, but they had to make merchandise out of rape just to poke back at people and then encourage fans to wear it to a convention that supposedly has pro-woman policies.

While I hear PAX is quite the event and it sounds like a lot of fun, being in the industry I already get a front row view of how toxic the game community can be. Emphasis on "can", there's a lot of great people in it, but they get drowned out. But lately it's been seeming like PA is more of the same toxicity and I don't want to support that.
MARC MARON: The social media generation
Imagine all the money they will lose by not giving more stuff away to people who don't want to pay them anything for it.
But so what? You knew what sort of firm they were before you started this project, and while they may have their heads under a rock it's not really their responsibility to understand every business model out there, or to explain all the many ways that people have tried to scam them. To be honest, I think you ought to have had a chat with your legal counsel before setting the ball rolling; given that Paypal has a reputation for being inflexible with merchants, you could have been better prepared in terms of either your business structure or finding out what documentation they'd want to release your funds.
The example is not very good because solving or beating the game is always defined "in the long run" ie over a large sample of hands, not one particular hand (ex: if Alice bets $100 all the time she is bluffing a lot since good cards are hard to get)
The underground railroad was composed of compassionate white people forming a network of hospitality and discretion. Both suffrage movements would have been for naught without the vote and voice of white males. You might think that things are different, but institutional oppression is plain and simply impossible for the oppressed group to overcome without either (1) revolution, or (2) allies among the privileged.

And really, it's the little things that count; it's not much more effort to be part of the solution that it is to disparage those that perceive the problem.

It's not just a theoretical question about whether a particular language is capable of supporting an efficient event loop. It's also a significantly practical question about whether there are a large number of libraries and community experience built up around programs organized this way.

This is also one of the big reasons why the people who wrote node.js picked JavaScript in the first place [0].

MillWheel: Fault-Tolerant Stream Processing at Internet Scale
Yes, because you know all possible states of the game.

Starting out you have 2 cards and you know your opponent has one of 2450 possible combinations of cards.

You know exactly how your 2 cards stack up in chances of winning against those 2450 combinations, and you know how much money is on the table initially. Each time an opponent has an action he can take one of two or three actions (call, raise or fold) - your job is to calculate a strategy that makes either of those decisions have the same expected value for your opponent. That is doable, but quite complex, because it requires you to consider not only what your opponent has, but also what possible hands you could have based on your previous actions.

The complexity is obviously enormous (hence why it hasnt been computed yet) but it is not impossible to compute by any definition.
The last few years, I've primarily been working freelance going in to companies and dealing with crap cleanup left by people who were "positive" about their own abilities, gave a pass to everyone else on the team who could get something to run without too many obvious errors, then left.

So... you can call it negative, I call it realistic. I'm pleasantly surprised when I discover good, well-written code, and it means my estimates can be revised downward - something everyone enjoys. Hoping for the best and getting the worst is horrible - expecting "meh" and getting a positive shock is great, but doesn't happen all that often.

I'd have loved to be at a company where people learned from each other and taught one another - imo, it's extremely rare. I've seen it a couple times in the past 15 years, but more often than not, politics and/or ineptitude takes over, and the 'learning/teaching' thing goes out the window.

As a developer, I had a technical manager over me who'd never coded. I've had a colleague who was hired to 'fix bugs', and has to watch the people who wrote the bugs go rewrite everything in to a 'version 2', rewriting exactly the same problems, because "they've been here longer".

So... yeah, companies that foster teaching/learning environments might be nice, but it takes a LOT of work to get right.

My favorite definition of legacy code is bad code for which no tests exist. It's terrible because people have no idea what to do with it and no idea what they're breaking when they change it.

You could be writing legacy code today.

Interesting article... my 2c is that you might want try a library like async.js, that handles asynchronous code with explicity flow-control based structure. Async has throttling ( https://github.com/caolan/async#queue ) and all kinds of things built into it that can address some of those things.. for other things where you are worried about buffers, you could use things like RabbitMQ or AWS-SQS to mitigate situations where you have mismatch in push/pull.
Yep, Nissan's 370Z has had SynchroRevMatch as part of its Sport/NISMO packages for a few years now, and from what I've heard through friends it's very simple and works really well... Although it makes me wonder at what point on the spectrum does a "manual" become an "automatic"

The point can be that the team can do it BETTER. If you run Sonar on a codebase and get 10K serious findings... then the code certainly is not optimal. There is no upper limit on how optimial it can be, but you'll certainly have an easier life and a better end product if you've followed best practices as opposed to "just getting it done" by the most junior, lowest payed code monkeys possible.
I'm not conversant with the 'international medical literature' so I shall assume you know what you are talking about. However, I don't take wikipedia as an authorative source on anything.

> The team at Johns Hopkins University of Medicine, in Baltimore, used lab mice that were genetically engineered to have extra copies of about half the genes found on human chromosome 21, leading to Down syndrome-like conditions such as smaller brains and difficulty learning to navigate a maze.

So they are attempting to build DS into mice and then mitigate the damage caused by their "DS like" enhancements to mice. Sounds like the right path to a solution to me.

Catchy title's make the front page. Sure they may have misled the readers a little bit, but if you read the entire article you can typically criticize the title. They definitely could have named it better, but balanced with the content I think it was appropriate.

Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_syndrome. I'm not saying that Wikipedia is the definitive answer on spelling, but it does give them at least some footing for their spelling.

Edit: tokenadult has a much better answer on the spelling than I do, his comment wasn't there when I starter writing this though.

Just having a client in the mobile space wouldn't have done it. It's more than that. SL was made for a world in which the desktop computer was people's primary computer. Now, smartphones and tablets are people's primary computers, and SL doesn't adapt well to that experience.
Interestingly, the ease of reasoning about flow control when pulling data from a source, versus pushing it to a destination, is one thing that can make reasoning about Haskell space usage particularly tricky.
Don't forget to add some bevel or shadow, it would be a waste do let your dangerous Illustrator skills go to waste... :-/
Don't put machine learning on a pedestal. You don't have to have even a full understanding of every little thing as long as you can interpret data.

Most machine learning classifiers are simply understanding how each model maximizes probability to label certain things.

Machine learning in the general sense is very broad. Most models are derived from an understanding of the domain. From there, as long as you can specify the right random variables (mainly through exploration and interpretation just like statistics) just understand how to run the different classifiers. You can start simple and work your way up to even things like deep learning (a buzz word for neural networks)
Checking the history of the file can also be quite revealing. First version usually looks good. Later, most commits are just trying to squeeze in new functionality by changing as little as possible of the existing code. 20 check-ins later the original design is no longer relevant and mostly consists of exceptions because nobody was brave enough to refactor. Getting refactoring approved could also be hard by in certain cultures and organizations because "why change something that is proven to work in production"
Cool. I still prefer my 5 line bash script manually started in separate console.
Time to Call BS on the Cult of Growth Hacking
> (You're making a common statistical mistake here. You're concluding that because 1/x startups succeed, the odds of each person's startup succeeding is 1/x. You can see this clearly if you ask what the probability is that someone is over 6 feet tall. Although 1/x people are, the probability for each person is either 1 or 0. And while no one's chances of succeeding are 1, the startup case is closer to the height example than to rolling dice. Someone like the young Bill Gates would have a much higher probability of succeeding than a person selected at random.)

More convincing evidence of this (and evidence that this analogy applies to the case of startups) would be to compare the probability of someone who has already succeeded at a startup working on a new startup versus someone who has never worked at a startup before or has failed in their previous attempts. Can you share that data?
I'm familiar with the concept behind it. My problem was with how they all seem to do the same things, and nobody yet has pointed this out; everyone just accepts the fact that they're mostly redundant and moves on.

I've managed SSI clusters, MPI clusters, and clusters of dumb app servers of varying sizes (10 nodes to 10,000). If you really want just a giant pool of resources, you can do much worse than an SSI cluster, but nobody wants to spend time working on a hard problem, so instead we dick around with task-shuffling job-runners inside the components that were written by the hardcore programmers that work in the kernel. But I guess we do what we can with what we have... (I blame Linus's team for not merging openMosix when they had the chance!)

I can see how a developer outside of the Microsoft development stack could see it that way, but it is misinformed.

Windows will die, to make way for Azure and Windows Phone.

The Microsoft development ecosystem is strong (C# in top 10 of TIOBE index). It has open source released by Microsoft (ASP.NET MVC), 3rd parties (Mono by Xamarin), and the community (opensourcewindows.org). Microsoft includes open source libraries (jQuery) in their projects.

StackExchange's software will leave a legacy.

From the article: "In order to create more, and open source it we need help. So we are looking a full time developer with ops experience to join our SRE team."
You actually mean statically typed. Scala is only limitedly type-safe, and is certainly not type-theoretic type-safe at all:

$ cat NotTypesafe.scala
object NotTypesafe {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
println("5".asInstanceOf[Int])
}
}
$ scalac NotTypesafe.scala
$ scala NotTypesafe
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Integer

What does that have to do with the validity of the central point, which is that states which gave Amazon a grace period during which it wouldn't have to collect sales tax[1] are now complaining that much more minor e-commerce shops aren't collecting sales tax[1]?

Amazon's margins are thin and they're focusing on automation. Is it any more advantageous to have an Amazon warehouse in your state than it is to have smaller ecommerce outfits?

[1] On inter-state sales, of course.
It's far worse. It's faux-design-by-math. There's no rational schema behind the arcs and guides scattered through that obnoxious little video; instead they represent a post-facto attempt to justify choices that are either default (directly from the font on which the logo is based) or arbitrary by cloaking them in the visual trappings of "design". It's the sort of thing I expect to see in the first crit of a sophomore typography class, not in a professional context.
