Indeed; you're right! It's an oversight to have left Node.js off my list above.
Effectively? The fact that it is a mobile device.

You can do it, but it is anything but ideal and people are prone to take shortcuts, particularly when something inconvenient and based on the 'honor system' appears.

I'm trying to think of a good analogy here... "It is like allowing people to use 'water wings' and pool noodles in the deep end of a pool", if that makes any sense.
Lots of artists create work that is not or cannot be protected by copyright and other IP laws, so the mental model your sarcasm suggests doesn't seem to accurately represent reality.
I own personal licenses for Idea, RubyMine, and PyCharm - all amazing good products.

Where I am working now, Eclipse is the supported environment so I am using it. OK, but not as good...

BTW, when they open sourced Idea for Java, I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to build. Nicely packaged.
At Starry Expanse (the remake of Riven, which is the sequel to Myst), we put some of the work we've done into the Oculus Rift... it was absolutely breathtaking. The Myst series is absolutely the perfect genre for that platform, in my opinion.
How To Use the DigitalOcean Docker Application
Man that is weird. As a .NET developer I recently volunteered to maintain a PHP site for a not for profit museum. The site was written by a local web dev company, so without knowing better I assume it was built at least somewhat professionally.

It took me a few weeks to get the hang of it, working a few hours each evening. I enjoyed the process but now that I understand how it hangs together I fail to see the appeal. It is a fairly simple environment, without much depth or breadth. I now understand why the PHP job ads I see seem to pay a lot less than .NET jobs.
That cracks me up too. nothing has convinced me more that you can be successful outside of the valley than coming to the valley.
I'm not from San Francisco and never been into, but I cant understand how is this something important.
Oakland is a bridge away from SF, is there a real change?
Anonymous Methods and Closures in C#
It's fine. Everything is fine.
Well that is fine, as I said there are some situations where this would work fine, I am concerned about the other use cases though.
Helvetica is great for logos, titles, headings, posters, etc., when you’re aiming for a specific (orderly/rigid/boxy/neutral/mid-to-late-20th-century, and generic, like corporate or government) kind of aesthetic. Helvetica is not a very readable typeface for body text – anything with more than a few words at a time – or anything small like labels on a map or diagram. This is because by design its letters have many extremely similar shapes which makes it harder to distinguish letters at a glance, and because it is designed not to flow.

There are particular situations where Helvetica is appropriate, but it is massively overused in contexts where it is a poor choice. A humanist sans serif like this new Mozilla typeface is much better for general purpose use.
Google Shopping Express, Ebay Now, Amazon Fresh, Instacart, Postmates are all getting in this space, but with a $5+ delivery fee.

Free might not be sustainable, but if one of them can pull off an Amazon Prime pricing model I'd probably be sold.
In your model, which seems to assume that IP laws result in a net positive to society by some measure, do you actually figure in the cost to society of maintaining and enforcing the IP laws?
Teach your kids electronics
He actually thanks the author and the rest of the post is verbatim of what is on that g+ post for some reason. That blog engine or whatever makes it look like the normal text of the post.

I do agree though, the presentation does make it look like hes taking credit for it, especially with the "Follow me on twitter" on the bottom. Kinda blogspammy.
There's a documentary about Helvetica that's available on Netflix (US).

Yes,

Because large companies(with nice Ad-Words budgets) are treated extremely nice both by the Ad-Words folks and the organic search algorithm folks. They are being favorized at the cost of small businesses that spend too little or nothing at all.

With each passing algorithm update Google is removing more and more small business websites and replaces them with bigger companies ( so called "brands" ) that often times offer worse services but spend more on marketing ( AdWords ).
>I think, because it leads directly to the Question of Why Lisp Failed.

Lisp isn't a failure. You're commenting on a server that is powered by a Lisp.

>Why did Lisp fail? Many people say, because it couldn't be standardized properly.

There was a very good idea about how to standardize Common Lisp back in 1982. It divided documentation into 4 different parts, or 4 different "colored pages". It was eventually abandoned because of the time constraints. Read DLW's (one of the 5 main Common Lisp authors) news.yc post about it:

> The meme that artists somehow shouldn't expect to be paid for their work needs to be stopped.

Who has said that? I think there should be zero IP protection laws, but I believe that artists should expect to be paid for their work, and indeed would be paid for their work.
I am curious as to how this will be enforced. And it doesn't come into effect until 2015.

The way back machine? 4Chan? Copy and paste? NSA? Right click download? Screen grabs?

I mean the only realistic way for this to be enforced is to not allow anyone under 13 to use the internet/ social networks which will never happen.

This is a weird one
Looks like he gave credit where credit was due.

Keccak with a very specific set of parameters is what was submitted to each round of the competition. That was also what was cryptanalyzed by all those folks contributing their time.

I know I wasn't the only one who was a little bit surprised when NIST said "Keccak is SHA-3, now let's see how to standardize a hash function and other applications out of it".
It seems to me that endless copyrights, or perhaps copyrights that last until the death of the creator, are the only logical extensions of having any copyrights at all. If "artists deserve to be paid for their work," and "copyrights are the only way to make sure artists get paid for their work," then why should the artist stop deserving to get paid after some arbitrary number of years?
Scaling Django by using it less... It's Varnish that deserves the spotlight, not Django.
Seems a funny thing to write an article about and totally devoid of any meaningful context. A similar article could have been written about smart phone market share in 2009 when RIM/Blackberry had 42% market share. Look how well that has turned out for them.

< 15 minutes to downtown SF on BART, nearly the same drive if you're going off-peak.
So this is kind of exactly what I witnessed in real life -- a friend of mine who uses Django for his stack had essentially a nested O(n^2) query, because of the ease with which the ORM allows you to query things as if they were objects in memory... Needless to say, this was very bad, and we both knew it, but it took some digging to find the right django code to implement it (we knew what we WANTED to do, and could write it out in SQL)

This particular friend was using the django testing middleware, and even with the massive amount of queries he was doing to the database, the database was not the biggest slowdown (each query went in quick, came out quick), the marshalling he was doing on the django side was...
Also given that Apple is very profitable.
I'll happily continue to pay for PyCharm even now that it's open-sourced (I re-upped for another year last week, and don't feel like I missed anything by not waiting for this). Aside from the fact that the Pro version has some killer features - Django support, remote interpreters, diagramming, and a .less editor - these guys deserve to be paid for an outstanding product.

I'm sure I could assemble a tool chain that does 90% of what I love about PyCharm in vi, but I'm a-OK with having my company pay $200 to have someone assemble that for me (or $100, if they didn't pay for it). In the same way that some people - but not me and my Lenovo - will pay extra for a shiny metal computer that just works, I'll pay extra for an IDE that gets out of the way when it should, and gets in the way it needs to.
Then you aren't being terribly intelligent about finding said books then.

There's this thing called Interlibrary loan. That free technique can get you a book for free for a period of time... enough for -you- to scan it and do as you see fit.

Of course, if it ends up pirate bay, oh well. Its not like some rights holder is going to starve because an out of print book is pirated.
Most actions in iOS are consistently handled on touch up and the timer is correctly consistent with this.

The stopwatch is for accurate timing and choosing to break the iOS convention for this specific use case does not seem surprising or arbitrary to me but a conscious design choice to improve the function of the feature. Guidelines are of course made to be broken (occasionally).
Though I couldn't understand them fully...

netbeans's jvi is essentially a straight port of the vim code to java, and is therefore remarkably complete.

Not everyone lives in a country that Apple even has a presence in. Or, to exaggerate even more, not everyone can even afford enough food to stay alive. How does that affect the argument?
In terms of diversity, socioeconomics, density and weather: absolutely.
I live in the Mission, and I agree with you. Oakland is 30 minutes away from SF. This is like moving to South San Francisco and claiming it makes a makes a substantial difference to your business. You're still in the middle of the bay area.
Fun pop-psychology on hiring people by 1-10 ratings and what it says about the hiring manager.

If you hire an n, where 0<=n<=5 then you must be an m where n<m and 1<=m<=6. Because incompetent people want to hire more incompetent people to make them look good and secure their position in the organization.

If you hire an n, where 6<=n<=7 then you must be an m where n<=m and 6<=m<=7. Because reasonable competent people don't want to bring failure into an organization, but don't want anybody showing them up.

If you hire an n, where 8<=n<=10 then you must be an m where 8<=m<=10 and there is a high probability that n>=m. Because truly competent people want to bring in other truly competent people and aren't threatened by people with higher levels of competency, and even might welcome it.
Thanks. Although obvious it totally escaped me. I just reported it. :)
I'm not a Ruby programmer, but I agree with your sentiment. I find an IDE for a language as lightweight as Python to be overkill.
Wow, is it still true that django doesn't do any connection pooling?

I have long since switched to Flask, personally (no hard feelings, just like flask's minimal nature) -- and I haven't been keeping up with developments
Most comments here when it comes to piracy are along the lines of: Welllll it's easy for me to take your product for free thanks to fast bandwidth and the Internet, so you shouldn't expect to be paid for your work since I can easily obtain it now without consequence. That's nonsense.
Beyond what other people have mentioned, check out the Syberia games and The Longest Journey which are a bit older. Frogware put out a series of Sherlock Holmes-based adventures as well. And Gemini Rue, The Raven, Resonance and the Runaway series. Also Time Gentlemen, Please! and Ben There, Dan That! are too funny.

Adventure games didn't die, they just became niche and indie. They moved to Europe, the leading character is more likely to be female these days, and the games are made by smaller companies.
And yet, some of the most popular forms continue to be ones that rarely—if ever—exist without copyright protection.

Why not admit that copyright and culture evolved together, and that suddenly trashing one does irreparable harm to the other?

I'm not saying that reforms aren't in order. After all, the 21st century is its own special thing. But it has yet to replace art forms that have spent (no exaggeration) centuries developing with the aid and support of copyright.

To the extent that nobody has come up with a better solution to the problem of high capital requirements and near-zero marginal costs, it's the best arrangement we've got, especially when the preference for expensive productions is as clear as its ever been.
My feeling is that manufacturing a set of relays that interface with today's existing wired smoke detectors and CO detectors would make a lot more sense. Added complexity will almost always make these devices harder to use and less reliable.

Keep the existing devices and make a gadget that uses wifi (optionally ethernet or a mesh network? a cell modem?) and relies on the signal old school 3-wire or 4-wire smoke detectors already put out. With a three-wire system, for example, you could put one relay in and get a cell warning for the entire system or put a relay on each alarm and get zone-specific alarms.

The trouble is that the sorts of people thinking about these things want to rope the customer into a proprietary system instead of just sending them an email or SMS with the cheapest possible equipment.
Don't mean to get dramatic, but what went wrong with Adobe? Don't they still have some of the best engineers in the world?
So here I am, in a submarine, learning a foreign language. What an afternoon.
Well what is the app?
Yeah... That's what I get for typing responses on my phone.

My point was simply that I left that article with the feeling that the author gets off on feeling victimized. I could be wrong, and I said as much, but that was my gut reaction

I tried to preface what I said because I'm not the most empathetic person in the world and sometimes I judge prematurely. My girlfriend reminds me of this fact often.

The rosa parks analogy is a false one because of both severity and circumstance. Discriminating against a person solely because of their race is far worse than questioning the reason for which a person is trying to bring a dog onto a plane.

People can be jerks, but I am not convinced this was an act of discrimination. To suggest that I am fine with racism because I suggested that the author enjoys feeling victimized is ridiculous.
When any Apple product gets upgraded to the Retina display, there will be no subtlety, and you won't have to carefully search Hacker News to find out about it.
if as of September 2013, you still have your business depend on Flash, you have bigger problems than Adobe.
You're still creating a strawman version of psychology which ignores that psychologists and psychiatrists regularly develop studies that disprove or weaken earlier theories (for example, recent research into trust as a confounding factor in the "cookie test" of delayed gratification).

And you're still overgeneralising bad cases onto a whole field. Ordinary doctors commit horrible crimes too. Ordinary doctors misdiagnose because of a pet theory and kill people. Ordinary doctors make simple errors and people die.

You are comparing strawmen to strawmen and unsurprisingly, the negative strawman comes out behind the positive strawman. Then you denounce the negative strawman. A scientist to the last.
If it is so detrimental why hasn't it been replaced with something better? Note any conspiracy about the MAFIAA running the show behind the scenes as to why it hasn't been replaced aren't reasonable...
Not sure why that's interesting, OS X is a UNIX system and completely unrelated to Linux...
The Windows driver and Linux driver are based on the same codebase, and NVidia is (rightly so) afraid of security issues in their drivers that could allow somebody to hack somebody's computer remotely with a special TF2 map or somebody.
Your premise is fundamentally flawed if you're using "functional tests" as a technical term (cucumber is not a functional testing tool) and just wrong if you're using it as a descriptor. Just because you've seen people try and fail to use cucumber effectively doesn't mean it can't be done. I would go so far as to say if you can't do it, you should reexamine how both how you're writing your tests, and how you're writing your application.
From a purely photorealistic perspective, that looks absolutely awful. It's literally a cartoon world.

That was their stylistic choice, of course, and there's nothing wrong with that. But it's off the mark to hold that up as an example of excellence in photorealism. It certainly wasn't trying to look real.
There's one of two possibilities, either I'm wrong and capital requirements don't work like that, or every bank in the world is insolvent. Given Quantitative easing 1,2,3,etc which do you think is true?

You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all I'm offering is the truth – nothing more.
Another good one is Scratches. It's scary!
#5 is one of my favorites. One of my co-workers refers to one of our managers as a "drive-by" manager. He agrees with the concept of carving out chunks of time - even remotely - to focus. In reality, if you are on-site, he is constantly "driving by" with things that could have waited or been communicated via IM/email.

BioShock Infinite still looks very plastic, and the shading leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm really surprised by the comments here. I came in expecting to see "oh thank goodness; now maybe 'YouTube comments' will stop being the gold standard for the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory."
I used to play realMYST (the real-time 3D version) with my 3D stereoscopic glasses back in ~2004 and it was indeed awesome. Exploring the ages was a treat in real 3d.
FDA sets rules for smartphone medical apps
Myst:

* Got the mainstream to talk about games in a way that it hadn't before.

* Enabled many other games by selling the hardware it needed to run.

* Is a tentpole in a (now again growing) subgenre of games that focus on ambience. It may not do Grand Theft Auto numbers, but the medium is richer for its existence. It's a valid way to use a computer to provide an experience many people find compelling.

* Intrigued many artists enough to start viewing the computer as a credible art tool and dive into 3D computer graphics.

It didn't do all of these things all alone, no. But it was part of the times, and a significant one at that. If you ask me, that's enough of a legacy to call it interesting.

I guess I don't really understand the objection to NIST's reasoning. While a larger capacity (c) would increase pre-image resistance, it wouldn't help generic collision resistance (which would always be limited by the output size). There are certainly contexts where a pre-image attack would be more damaging than a collision, but collisions can be a problem in other situations. Asking the user to figure out which security level applies to their application seems like a source of potential issues. Giving them a generic security level parameter to work with might make things easier.

On top of that, Keccak's software performance is nothing to write home about and SHA-256 and SHA-512 look a lot safer now than they did when the SHA3 competition was started. The reasonably large performance boost the capacity changes could bring about might help SHA-3's case a bit for software developers who have barely started moving away from SHA-1 (if they're not still hanging on to MD5).

While 512 vs 256 bits of pre-image security for SHA-3-512 (which the author seems to think is an unacceptable security downgrade) is interesting to discuss in an academic sense, it seems ludicrous to suggest the change would actually benefit someone trying to break SHA-3. Any adversary able to perform 2^256 operations is so far beyond modern cryptanalysis that everyone might as well just give up.
Thanks, I'll check them out. Here's to hoping.
NVIDIA's kernel module right now just pokes a hole the size of a truck and reams data in from userspace.

Valve is looking at using Wayland to power Steam, which means that NVIDIA basically need a proper DRM/KMS part in the kernel, and that part will likely be the DRM-side of nouveau.

My guess is that NVIDIA will contribute to the kernel parts of nouveau using open documentation to get patches accepted, while continuing to work on their closed-source userspace.
Are the original founders are involved in the relaunch? That would be very interesting.
Yeah, I can blame people for trying to make a point while knowing close to shit about the subject they talk about. When you don't know, you just say you don't know or that you're not sure. Seeing stuff as "Android is Linux too" without any footnote is just... wrong.

Dropwizard is a solid framework and would be my first choice for building web services. Recently it has acquired a few components that could work for putting together a user facing website (instead of just the web services it was designed for). Coupled with a JavaScript MVC framework this might even work for putting together a full featured user facing web application.

However, would you attempt to build a traditional multi-page web application (what Django is really built for) in Dropwizard? Is anyone doing that? I'd love to see some examples and patterns for doing that.
