Calls to mind "Wall Street Kid," a stock-trading game released on the good ol' NES back in 1990.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_Kid

The premise of the game was fairly ludicrous: if you could earn a decent return on a $500,000 loan, you stood to inherit a $600 billion (!) family fortune. But the stock market in the game, while randomized, was pretty innovative for its time. (It's been awhile since I've played it, of course, but I vaguely remember that there was some sort of internally consistent logic behind the stock pricing movements that seemed to be randomly seeded at the start of each game).

As far as I can tell, the entire game revolved around getting rich off of stocks, wining and dining an increasingly high-maintenance trophy wife, and making a series of very conspicuous consumptions (a yacht, a penthouse, and even a castle). But the mini game in GTA V seems very similar.
Hype is amazing tool - only took a few minutes to get up to speed on it. We built an educational touchscreen kiosk in it, and then were able to deploy on an iPad by just scaling it down and downsampling the bitmap assets. A really polished tool.

Here are two: 1) Cool it with the CGI, it doesn't hold up well if you abuse it and will look like ass after a year or two. 2) Let merchandising do whatever they want except influence the film in anyway way.

Those are the things that pissed people off the most. The general public didn't give a shit about the scientific/mystical "The Force" issue. They cared about pod racing having no fucking relevance to the movie and jar-jar looking like ass in addition to being annoying.

(The primary issue of shit dialog is probably already fixed, just by having new people on the job.)
It's pretty obnoxious to expect everyone to play your tedious video in order to find out what the "4 rules" are. It's a webpage, just add a <ul>.

Considering I've done a bit of both...3 years of CS for the fundamentals and everything else self taught..I recommend getting the degree if possible. It made things significantly easier when I started diving in to concepts I was interested in.
Your theory rests on a faulty understanding of insider trading laws. The SEC rules simply do not work the way you think they do based on what you said.

Trading on perceived insider information is not always illegal. There are very specific situations in which it is illegal.

Cuban is going to win because he didn't agree to hold the information in confidentiality, he didn't leak the information (which could have caused all sorts of other ramifications), and he also was not a director / employee / CEO / executive etc.

The SEC needs to get him on Rule 10b5-2, and they will not be able to.

So, heaven would be Whedon being greenlit to remake the Babylon 5 series, for five full seasons, using the plot for the first four and given leeway to handle casting and dialog as he saw fit.

But, like so many wonderful things, that will never happen.
It is trivial, I use this simple script to open an SSH tunnel to a remote host, assign me and the remote host private IP on tunnel interfaces (/dev/tun0), setup a pointopoint route between them, nuke my regular routing table & and fix it so my default route points down the newly created tunnel.

The CORS thing is a big deal. Basically it means your JS error reporting is useless (window.onerror won't report any details) if your JavaScript is loaded from a CDN, unless your CDN has CORS enabled.

If you're using AWS for your CDN, you may be in trouble currently.
There's a combination of issues between CloudFront and S3 where this actually becomes a big deal.

While S3 does support CORS, it will only return the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header when the Origin header is passed (which only happens on CORS requests themselves). And even if you set an S3 CORS policy of "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * " it will return a more specific header like "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: example.com", based on the request's "Origin" header. (Because of this behavior, S3 does correctly send a "Vary: Origin" header).

Now, CloudFront will cache the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" response header, but it does so incorrectly because it doesn't respect the "Vary: Origin" header from S3.

So, that means that even if you think CloudFront is returning the right "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header, it's only doing so from some geographic locations and its based on some randomness of whether or not the 1st cache hit per node happened to have the desired "Origin" header.

I filed a ticket with AWS a few months ago about CloudFront supporting "Vary: Origin", but they haven't, yet.

Therefore, to my knowledge, it's impossible today to get decent js error reporting if your JavaScript is served from CloudFront with an S3 origin.
Welp, it's better than being criminally prosecuted!

I don't understand what exactly zooming has to do with hinting. Fonts use hinting to great effect, and they're specifically designed to be displayed at different sizes and resolutions.
TL;DR; OP works in programming jobs that are not ideal for him/her, thinks all programming jobs are like that.

I don't think the downfall of the prequel trilogy had much to do with these four "rules". It had to do with an incoherent story, bland, one-dimensional characters, and a lack of connection between the personal struggles of the characters with the goings-on of the wider world.
Perfect, since exceptions are a subset of effects! Check out http://math.andrej.com/eff/ and its literature.

The prequels were horribly acted

They had great actors, so it must have been the writing that sucked, not the actors.
The first episodes of Fringe felt like a leftover script from Alias, with some car chase action, a mild sex scene and X-file monsters dropped in.

(Thinking of it, maybe that combination is the reason why I got hooked... :-)
CEO who resisted NSA spying out of prison; feels vindicated by Snowden leaks
The attributes of an object (and its class) are generally stored in a literal dictionary, so it's unlikely that a class will be more performant.

What a class buys you is behavior and a semi-defined interface.
It'd probably be helpful if the store let the developer set the trial period. An appropriately set period is going to vary by what the software does and the devs/publisher are the most likely to have (a) the necessary insight involved and (b) the highest incentive to get it right.

Disgorgement of increased profits (or reduced) losses is a typical civil remedy offered by the SEC in such cases.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, §§ 78u-2(e) and 78u-3(e).

78u-2(e): Authority to enter order requiring accounting and disgorgement:
"In any proceeding in which the Commission or the appropriate regulatory agency may impose a penalty under this section, the Commission or the appropriate regulatory agency may enter an order requiring accounting and disgorgement, including reasonable interest. The Commission is authorized to adopt rules, regulations, and orders concerning payments to investors, rates of interest, periods of accrual, and such other matters as it deems appropriate to implement this subsection."

78u-3(e) is similar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgorgement_(law)

The (presumed) intent is to remove the incentive for others to do this, which a fixed or capped fine would not accomplish (as you observed).
I realize that a lot of very dishonest people deliberately misinterpret people saying they have a right to get paid for their work.

They do what you've done here: mischaracterize it as an unreasonable assertion that they get paid for work, even in the absence of any buyers.

As noted very explicitly, that is NOT what "the right to get paid" means. What it really means is that you don't have the right to opt out of paying.

If you want something YOU MUST negotiate with the rights holder. You're free to reject any and all offers, of course. And if everyone rejects a seller's offer and / or price, the seller is s.o.l. But what you CANNOT do is say "I don't like the price you're asking, so fuck it, I'm going to set my own - which could be $0 if I feel like it."

I'm sorry, but that is NOT a right you have. What "The right to be paid for my work" really means is "I have the power to set the price for my work". You can accept that price or you can reject that price. But you cannot unilaterally change that price.

You seem like an intelligent person, so I don't think this I beyond your comprehension. That's why I don't hesitate to call you dishonest because clearly, you should know better.

And I'm glad to hear you pay for media. But let's be clear, acting like you're doing anyone a favor is a dick move, for the same reason that a boss who treat your paycheck as a favor is being an asshole.

"Yes, but the Internet...".

But no. The fact that technology made being as asshole exponentially easier does not change the underlying ethics one iota. If what we're talking about is something people actually want, the people who created it retain the right to get paid. They don't have a right to a business model (e.g. newspapers can't shut down Craigslist for offering better, cheaper classifieds). That's competition, fair and square.

However, that's not the same as saying "I still want (x), but instead of paying, I'll just not pay." Whatever else you're doing in that situation, you are not acting within your rights.
Also, basic hinting is not terribly difficult for the artist with modern font design tools. Similar tools could be provided for SVG hinting. Also, auto-hinting works pretty well. I have often wondered why there has been no effort to do the same thing with SVG renderers. At the very least, they could be rendered at 2X and then downsampled with a lanczos filter. The effect is not the same, but it's far from orthogonal.

But is hinting even possible in a format that supports multiple colors? It does not seem obvious to me that it is.

Blaming Linux will not solve the problem. Throw your questions to those manufacturers and ask them to improve the current situation. Or you can contribute to open source hardware. If you just want to blame, surly nobody could prevent you from doing that, but things will not change, and you'd be better go to Windows and be happy with it.
People really seem to forget that they saw the first Star Wars movies as kids. The prequels looked as bad as they did because you were a grownup when you saw them - a lot of kids loved them.

Basically, I don't think it's possible to ever recapture what those movies were, because they're entirely tied up in childhood nostalgia. The world would probably be better if no-one ever tried, but hey.

I'm just happy that Star Wars fans get to feel our pain.
Yes, the big problem seems to be that George Lucas has forgotten how to write for human beings. The problem with the prequels was not in the broad concept of showing the fall of the Republic; it was that the execution was shoddy.
I think it primarily comes from networking and the so called tacit knowledge http://goo.gl/SgrM . In the case of conferences, tacit knowledge is displayed in terms of practical experience, tricks or the trade, contacts, tools, and other things that are just written in abstracts or slides
Yeah, it's the worst job there is. Except for all the others.
actually, i didn't read the problem fully (sorry) - i just saw that your article seemed to be mainly about embedding boolean variables in integer programming. now that i've gone back to read the problem i agree completely - i don't see how to do that (sanely) with boolean logic alone.

ps incidentally, with choco (the only CSP/CP solver i've used) you can use regular expressions that make scoring like this very easy (match 5 residential, score ...). http://www.emn.fr/z-info/choco-solver/ - unfortunately (for julia) it's implemented in java. if you're looking for other interesting puzzles, i had a lot of fun with choco and pipes - see items mentioning choco at http://isti.bitbucket.org/ or the original so post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9689436/backtracking-solu...
I've heard some Americans that work with Russians comment that they actually feel this way about smiling during the day at work. It's a sign that you are an idiot or not taking things seriously or something.
> ...but penalizing jobs for mentioning pizza, beer or ping-pong is ridiculous.

A job posting is sort of like an elevator pitch except that the target is prospective employees and not investors.

With time and space limited, what a company chooses to include in a job posting reveals a lot. Unless a company really believes that pizza, beer and ping-pong are important components of its value proposition, I'm not sure how mention of these things can be expected to stand out as a compelling differentiator in the eyes of most candidates.

> ...a friendly, social atmosphere, arguably one of the more important features of a job.

An employer can create a friendly, social atmosphere without seeking to provide a social experience. Too many startups don't recognize that there's a difference.
You will not make a profit unless you have an enormous amount of capital, or a new way of mining. Difficulty is growing at too high of a rate.
Horrible acting isn't necessarily the fault of the actor. I remember an interview with Ewan McGregor where he recounted being in front of a green screen, sat on a green saddle that was mechanically rocking back and forth (that would be CGIed into an animal of some sort). George Lucas kept shouting "look at the MOONS!", to which McGregor replied "WHAT MOONS?".

TL;DR: actors are only as good as the environment you give them to work in.
It's clear we disagree, and neither party will be convincing the other, so I thought I'd just leave something to think about and move on. Alas, here we are again.
Interesting to read this juxtaposed with the article on increased smartphone theft in what also happen to be cities with high populations of cyclists.

In my personal infrastructure and gear, I like redundancies that create soft modes of failure. The more we make the smartphone into a security hub (or a payment hub), the greater the cost & inconvenience of theft, loss, or damage of the device. Spreading these functions between phone, wallet, and keychain is a healthy "division of labor" that spreads failure risk.

E.G., you can steal my wallet, and you can steal my phone, but I'm still safely biking home from the bar because you didn't steal my keys.

However, yes please to more convenient bike locks. Just not increasing/concentrating device dependency and risk.

If you know the physical pixel density, SVG image can maintain its physical size on different devices. Now try to do that with PNG...

I think PNG and SVG inherently solve somewhat different problems in the realm of image representation, so there are going to be cases where each of them has the clear upper hand. However, with pixel density going up and file sizes and network bandwidth not being the limiting factors in many cases, I'd guess SVG will command increasingly bigger share of uses.
I was able to teach myself Basic programming on a TI-99/4A, Atari 2600, and Commodore 64 from 4th grade (in the early 1980s) because the languages were simple, the machine was simple, there were magazines (Compute!) to crib code from, all the freeware and shareware programs were in source, and my dad said "There's the manual." when I asked him to teach me. :)

I spent time programming because I didn't have a modem. It turns out this was the best thing for me, since I didn't waste my time on BBSes. A friend of mine who had, dropped out of the CS program at Penn State after a digital logic course I loved.

In high school I took a year and a half of Basic and Pascal, but more importantly spent three periods a day in the computer lab exploring every nook and cranny of programs I had to write, programs I wanted to write, and the shell language of the school district's VAX.

Seemed clear to me that I wanted to do computer science, but I switched to computer engineering after that digital logic course. Took college classes in Pascal, C, C++, assembly for microprocessors, common lisp for ai, vhdl for processor design, operating systems, and wire-wrapping a microcontroller system.

Grad school courses in Smalltalk [edit: and computer architecture and petri nets and, most importantly, self-taught makefiles for a class project build system].

After I got out of school I took company courses in Java and Perl, but more importantly taught myself the Unix environment from books, and had opportunities to use it every day at work.

On my own, I read books and did programming exercises in Haskell, Ruby, and Go.

[edit: I dug seriously into make and bash for ten years, writing the build system for a telecom network.]

I have a real passion for functional parallel programming in the Inferno shell, so I'm working on a blue-sky build-tool project. [edit: https://github.com/catenate/credo]

On my job I'm now picking up Python because I have to maintain a build system code base in it.

Overall, I'd say I've probably taught myself more than been taught, but only because I had about 8 years of formal instruction in a programming span of 30 years. The education was essential though, because there were so many concepts I would not have gotten to on my own.

I'm not sure what's the point of that analogy since insider trading is specific to traded securities.

If the accusations are true, then he might be guilty of illegal insider trading, because he sold shares after learning of non-public information that would affect the stock price. It's not necessary to prove that the buyers suffered a loss, but it can be argued that the sale was unfair to them: they bought without knowledge that there would be a big sale soon after.
It's also possible (and perhaps more likely) that all the other customers received products that work OK, but there was some kind of rare manufacturing defect in the device the author bought (e.g., an out-of-tolerance part or a bad trace on a circuit board). Of course, the manufacturer should have recognized that as a possibility. This kind of problem shows up a lot with cars, where you can have a "lemon" that has recurring problems.
Well, it was the only example that I could think of where a dev wanted to make a living from their software and offer it up as opensource.

So what is a viable model then? I build a kick-ass TODO list app or a casual game. I open source it. How do I make money from my efforts if I want to try and make this full time? This is not a service. I can't charge for support. Donations don't work. What else???
Bikes don't come out of the factory noisy, there are EPA limits in the US. They become noisy when some dork sticks an aftermarket pipe on it. There are also noise limits everywhere that I am aware of, those laws are just rarely enforced. Why that is, I have no idea. Seems like easy ticket money on a sunny day.

As for the parent, if you're relying on your bike's noise to keep you out of trouble, you're an accident waiting to happen. Loud pipes don't save lives, paying attention and not riding like an ass does.
One idea I'd would be curious about is how 3D print tech could add to basic biological research. A lot of machines look like simple but customized system of beakers and such. Being able to produce any shape "out of the box" seems pretty useful here.

Edit: Looking up Tekla Labs, it seems they are all about this idea already. It's just the parent puff piece that fails to mention it.

I'm the author of the book and it is true that this would be my first published book.

My life has been very busy up to just recently. Now that I have extra time I want to spend it productively. $3000 is the minimum I was willing to make to spend my time to create a complete book, not just a series of blog posts. In short, I'm home with the kids while my wife works.

I started "Relay" more than a year ago just as a personal project. But in talking to others about it, I found that many people have lots of questions about dataflow. At first I thought I would just create a short blog post about dataflow to attempt to answer the questions. So, I started working on it... and it kept growing... and growing.

Even topics that you are an expert in, when you look hard you can find new things to learn. I started collecting links to articles related to dataflow just for my own edification. Eventually I posted them all to a new subreddit /r/DataFlowProgramming so that everyone could benefit.

So... I had a lot of text already written, a huge collection of notes, and time on my hand and enough material for a book that I felt would answer many questions people have. I thought I would give it a shot.

Kind Regards,

iOS performance is generally awful with SVG. Scrolling used to be bad but I think Webkit fixed that bug.

I have had a similar experience with a friend who died very young (probably suicide although I've never had confirmation).
Anyway now every year a bunch of people still post something for his birthday some comments are followed by RIP others are not. I suspect some of these people still don't actually know he's dead and post a message directly through their newsfeed without looking at his profile.
It's pretty awkward but it's not my place to go and tell them (I don't know most of them) "FYI, he's dead"
I think we said the same thing, but you did so with more of the technical stuff.

Because he wasn't a director/employee/exec he was "just another seller" like my analogy.

But thank you for the citation of the rule I would have had to look it up.
