Thank you for bringing up this issue. Unfortunately, this functionality was lost when the web project properties page was refactored. We are working to get this feature back into the product.

For now, if you have a project with this setting unchecked in VS 2012, and open it in VS 2013 it will respect your individual user settings until the first time that the servers section is modified on the web project properties page."

By commercial air, yes; in the US, you need ID and a matching boarding pass to enter the secured area of an airport, which is an essential prerequisite to boarding an airplane.

Interesting analysis. My website, http://officesnapshots.com, is essentially the same idea ("information DJ") but in a much different vertical - company offices.

Once you start collecting information in blog format, the difficult thing to do is to do anything interesting with it other than have it in date-based archives. The Christmas Cookies site is much more interesting in that way.

For anyone looking to start a blog with this sort of model, I've found it important to actually go and sell your site to advertisers as opposed to sitting back and waiting for them to come to you and buy.

So his crack about levees didn't in anyway color or piss off the border patrol? I mean when I'm entering a country, I too like to crack wise about their recent national tragedies to get into the border officer's good graces. He should have followed that up by saying he was taking the train because he heard planes tend to fly into buildings here.

Sorry, but it sounds like this guy is a bit of an idiot who didn't help his case, even if the border patrol was overly critical. Trust me, I'm no fan of the TSA or their "SPOT" nonsense, but if I said the things he said, I would expect to get denied just out of spite.
About 5 years ago I sold a site on flippa (was called something else back then) for 15k, later worked on the blog for the new owner for about ~$600/month for ~6 months. It was PR-5 and at its peak (when I sold it) it had about 600k pageviews and I was making about $1000 month. I knew I probably could make a lot more if I tried, but I didn't.

I still remember my site being on digg 4-5 times a month and all the traffic I used to get and all the headache that came with trying to keep the site up using wordpress. Fun times really.
I just migrated lots of my project to vs2012 from vs2010 ... why should I go to vs2013 ? I've got resharper et deamon installed, and I really like my IDE like this ...
It seems to this curmudgeon is that the bug is in the whole metaphor of a "project file" being storage for a bunch of UI state set in a bunch of configuration tools and not, y'know, part of the source code of the project and subject to the same kind of engineering process.

You play this kind of game with "automation" and you get burned. Build, configuration and deployment management are hard software problems and they need to be solved by smart people and real tools, not checkboxes and file selectors.

How to do your job when it feels impossible: lessons from a procrastinator
I wonder how well something like this would work for doing math.

Say, for example, a word problem, or a proof. You often need more than one sheet of paper for a problem, but if you're using a notebook, it becomes painful to try to concentrate on what you're doing while also flipping back to the previous page to look at something you need.

If you work the problems on separate detached sheets, you have more flexibility, but you end up with separate detached sheets :).

A computerized tablet interface could solve all these problems and automatically organize the finished work for you. But it would have to not SCREW UP all the symbols you'd be writing.

Has anyone here successfully used Pencil or any other stylus/tablet combination for doing math?

The administration of Barack Obama has locked up and deported more undocumented immigrants than any President in American history. [1]

Now, I would agree that "the Democrat party" would benefit more if they did the opposite, but our President has not chosen that path. Militarization of the border is at an all-time high because of ignorant blather like the parent post that only harms our country and its workforce.

There are a few that look promising in the $20-30 range (Adonit Jot Pro, Musemee Notier V2, etc) and $90-100 range (Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus, Adonit Jot Touch 4, etc), where the more expensive ones are pressure sensitive.

Let's send that bug to the top by voting.
It's a pretty unimportant feature though. It's just some very minor syntactic sugar for a regular message send. All uses of obj.property can be replaced with either [obj property] or [obj setProperty:...] depending on whether it's being written or read. It's about as significant as when C added the ability to declare variables in the middle of a block or support for // style comments i.e. not at all.
5 Ways to Increase the Performance of Your RSpec Tests

Not really. Haskell is basically used as a compiler from a DSL to C. Compilers running on general purpose systems are much less sensitive to timing and memory use than embedded systems and kernel drivers, so it isn't that big of a deal. The generated C code is the only thing that executes on the target device so you get the same performance that you would expect from C code.

Meta: I'm pretty disappointed with this sentiment. I would have loved to read those discussions instead of a rant. They seem far more intellectually honest.
I use Wordpress. It can be a huge PITA and extremely slow, but I'm used to using the (really great) plugins to help with SEO, sharing drafts, social media, writing the posts, etc. I've been rather unimpressed by Django blog plugins as well, so I've been sticking with Wordpress. I do use caching plugins and Cloudflare to hopefully speed it up though.
Seems to be a theme.

I had to re-do our TeamCity integration when they stripped out the IIS Path property out of the project file in favor of publishing profiles. For a shop like ours, where we have lots of small projects, automating the deployment is pretty critical. I don't want to have to add 120 publish profiles when previously I could rely on the project settings.

Ultimately, we hacked together a fix, but I'm still wary of their changes.
A while back I needed a no-cruft way to get my IP reliably, so put this in my nginx config, to allow "curl example.com/ip":

http {

perl_modules /etc/nginx/perl;

perl_require myip.pm;

# ...

server {

# ...

location = /ip {

perl myip::handler;

}

# ...

}

}

then in /etc/nginx/perl/myip.pm :

---

package myip;

use nginx;

sub handler {

my $r = shift;

$r->send_http_header("text/plain");

return OK if $r->header_only;

$r->print($r->remote_addr() . "\n");

return OK;

}

Yeah they've acknowledged it, we're not expecting it to get fixed anytime before Update 1 however, which is usually some months later.
I don't actually write Java professionally.

But it sounds like your problem isn't Java/JVM, but rather really shitty code. If it breaks when you change minor versions of the JVM, the code is broken.
I think Kickstarter has helped greatly in the area of traction (obviously, it doesn't apply to all situations). If you can successfully communicate an idea - and there is demand for it - you can marshal support.
>I look at it actively -- as a starting point to motivate more whistleblowing, as a ratchet to push for more release, as a tool to promote more openness in government.

I agree, that would be the ideal outcome of this trend of whistleblowers and the subsequent reactions. But the government will fight tooth and nail every step of the way. Julian Assange wrote a very cool essay about the role of information flow in an authoritarian conspiracy and how if the different nodes in the graph can't trust each other with information then the conspiracy breaks down and, presumably, truth and transparency replaces it [1]. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Yes, if I'd won, the amount would be worth more in dollars than if I lost. But if you're sincerely predicting a crash, you don't believe I'd have won.

I'm hoping that they'll bring it back eventually, and that right now they're just focusing all their resources on getting the Win and Mac clients back up to feature-parity with 12.x, plus whatever else webkit brings to the mix.

They're basically in somewhat of a sprint right now, but /fingerscrossed that once they're out of it, they'll port it to Linux too. They're building on Chromium, which has a Linux version, so hopefully it's in the realm of possibility.

That said, will be interesting to see how long Opera 12.x lasts on Linux. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 now and it's fine, next OS upgrade will be to 14.04 next Spring (or some other Debian distro if I decide to ditch Ubuntu). I wonder if Opera 12.x will work on that.

I remember when I entered the US for the first time in 1999 through the JFK New York airport on my way to San Francisco. I would be studying there, but had all documentation for that, including some necessary documentation for entering the country, in my suitcase. Which was already in the US, while I approached the airport border control. A friendly border control woman walked with me to my suitcase, let me obtain my documentation, and then let me into the country.

Could that still happen today? I sincerely doubt it, I would just be sent back straight away.

What a shame.
I haven't used the new one yet, but the old one had a superior tab interface to everything out there, which they called MDI (Multiple Document Interface). For serial tab abusers like myself, it was a noticeable difference that always had me scratching my head why the other browsers didn't copy the idea.

> 60% of Israeli Jews are from Arab countries, or their parents and grandparents were, and they are very similar in appearance to Arabs

Sorry, but you are wrong regarding the impossibility of do a "race" profiling. I'm a Jew and lived for 6 year in Israel. You can spot in a fraction of a second an arab jew from an arab muslin, from an arab christian.

They can look alike phisicaly, but the behavior, cloths, accents, body expression, etc... Are completely diferent.

This article brings up a good point about consumption, but this introductory question is dumb. The short answer is "because that's the entire point".

He is saying that in a bubble it is a great strategy if you "guess at their business model and then do premature, loud and aggressive Public Relations hype and early company launches and quickly burn through their cash."

From my understanding most browser use border-box on form elements by default anyway. That's why they often look different from other elements with the same styling.
It seems like kernel-space code would be one of the worst possible environments in which to use a dynamic language. A runtime error in that context can easily bring down the entire system; you're really better off sticking to languages with at least a semblance of static safety. Haskell may be a high-level language, but it's also a significant improvement over C when it comes to compile-time safety, unlike Ruby and JavaScript, which have none at all.
Anyone have statistics for admittance/denials for different categories of travelers?

I keep seeing these anecdotes get lots of attention on Hacker News, and all the comments just respond with more horror story anecdotes. But I worry there might be an echo chamber effect, where people who like to comment on articles of this topic are also the people who are already accustomed to, or feel confirmation bias satisfaction at, hearing about these kinds of horror anecdotes.

It's definitely a terrible problem; I'm just wondering if Hacker News commenters are overstating the prevalence of the problem.

You're happy. I'm obviously just another annoying, delusional ops guy who doesn't know what he's talking about. Why would you think you're missing out on anything? Go about your business. Everything is just fine.
Show your work. Why do you expect the power consumption of the Bitcoin network to go down?

When specific costs of a technology decrease it's for reasons specific to that technology. Yes, cell phones have gotten smaller & less expensive (as one example), but that doesn't tell us anything about the power consumption of the Bitcoin network.
> It's just that if I knew how different the Obama administration's actions would be from what 2008 candidate Obama's rhetoric led my 20-year-old self to believe, I wouldn't have donated money to him.

If enough people felt this way, things could be a lot better. I can forgive someone who believed the rhetoric the first time, even though a lot of us didn't. It's a lesson we all have to learn, and if the lesson is learned, the mistakes aren't so bad.

Unfortunately, a majority of voters didn't think this was enough to prevent them from re-electing him in 2012, nor I fear, from electing another person just like him in 2016.
Bitstamp is down
I've never done that, I just use the browser.
It's in a strange position right now, though. Its value is not based on anything that makes any sense. Public perception - yes - but public perception of what? Nothing is priced in bitcoin.

Once things begin to be priced in bitcoin, proponents hope its value will stabilize. This might happen. It did with fiat, but fiat had the advantage of a stable start and slow detachment from gold.

The real funny thing to me is, I believe the currency could do its job just as well no matter what the value per bitcoin. And I don't think volatility matters at all, because companies like BitPay assume the volatility risk for you (both the merchant and the consumer)

I don't know that bitcoin can be used as a store of value, especially for future adopters. But it is definitely a great method for real transactions of wealth.
Tuck Bushman - Free Comedy Feature Film
That's kind of a weird post - it conflates very different things. Mining burns power to protect against a specific class of attack, not any and all attacks. Bitcoin isn't magically immune to heists, and physical protection may be slightly easier (in that you don't need physical access as frequently) but no less necessary for large wallets.
