Yes, but only when you are making small changes to a single, and relatively static, page. And, you need to make the same changes in every browser at once. And, then you need to verify that the css changes you made correspond to the sass changes you make in the main document.
Google's "Apps for Android" are not part of Android, but a propritary software suite. That the Chinese government banned Google services means companies making an android-based operating systems are not allowed to license Google's app suite. So in the final OS there is no way to add your Google account. The feature is not "disabled", it is simply not part of the software.

Are people with better graphics cards seeing 60 (or even 30) fps? I'd love to be able to see this in all its glory.
Look into something like Octave, where matrices are first-order data types, and you'll know exactly what he means.
This is more like how it is in theory. I was hoping for more real life stories. "We had problem X, tried MongoDB, but failed because of ...", "We had problem Z, MongoDB works better than R, because..."
That concept only works if the majority if tech professionals use the service.

This is the crucial point that we as community are missing: yes, dragnet total surveillance is unacceptable, but it's just as unacceptable to have perfect secrecy for any entity. States MUST have the power to snoop any traffic they desire, otherwise we theoretically risk states being hijacked by small bands of effective conspirators.

The trouble is not spying itself, it's that the cost of spying has become so low that states choose to spy everything by default. We need to revert to a state where all communications can be eavesdropped, but where there is non-negligible computational cost for doing it. One way might be to switch to encrypted communications for everything, but using keys that are strong enough to provide protection from wholesale dragnet surveillance, but weak enough for targeted brute-force decryption.

I keep saying it, the US Constitution needs amending to create an explicit right to privacy. government surveillance is a problem, but so is the unilateral exploitation of personal data for commercial purposes. I'm Irish and living in the States, I really miss the EU Data Protection Act.
The ability to do downloads from multiple sources (mirrors) and torrent are the killer features for me. Will use it more often, instead of wget. :)
I would prefer to stop categorizing myself for the convenience of other people. Some people will pigeonhole you whether you like it or not, so there's no point in worrying about whether they are doing it correctly.

Stop identifying yourself as a thing, and you may find that the label never really fit you in the first place.
This was what I said when the repository went down for over eight hours a few weeks back. Part one is scaling the server, part two is making the client aware of the mirrors and gracefully handling temporary unavailability. From the looks of it, this all seems above the heads of node's current leadership which frankly sours me on relying on node at all.
If true, it would make them jerks, but it would be foolish to dismiss them as stupid.
Not only tough but ultimately impossible; like C it is nice that people can stretch JS to maximize performance - a developer can always maintain separate file with "nicely" formulated calculations but at the end of the day what matters is the end user's experience of speed in the final app.

Nice finding!

But let’s be optimistic! If we pick the maximum range in the technical specification [1] and suppose that the temperature difference were 120°C then it would only generate 0.21MW [2]. Just in case, I checked and at 4Bar, the boiling point of water is 144°C [3], so the device is not producing vapor, only hot water.

google just entered the subsided device game!

just like microsoft tried to kill competition by taking a loss on xbox. google via the acquired motorola mobility is probably taking a loss to sell you a 720p screen phone with NO SD CARD. the info site tells you in 7 different places that you get 50GB of free google drive.

google wants your data pretty bad.
> Data that isn't backed up (as in a second copy) doesn't really exist.

An IMO more realistic statement: Data that is not backed up is implicitly classified as "nice to have" - in many cases a perfectly rational choice, if done consciously.

> Likewise: data that isn't backed up off site isn't really backed up.

You may as well argue that no data is ever "really" backed up because there is always the possibility of simultaneous failure. It's always a choice of how much risk you're willing to accept vs. how much money and effort it would cost to reduce it further.
It's funny how Intel and Microsoft were the ones calling for the Internet of Things all the time, and now that we are finally building it, they have no product fit for it.

At the risk of being cynical, I think that's the point. If everyone who could contribute considered them (corporate sponsored hackathons) as work for free they'd quickly run out of submissions and fail. Keeping the perception as a way to excite and/or challenge developers is pretty well essential for their continuation.
this. It's not the win rate per se, it's the fact that the District Court judges and clerks are unusually experienced in IP litigation. You have to understand that in other districts the judges are doing federal criminal matters, civil class actions, debt collection abuse litigation, admiralty law (any slip and fall on a cruise ship is a federal lawsuit) and so on.

In ED Texas, the clerks all have hard-science undergrad (and sometimes graduate) degrees as well as degrees from top law schools because this is a major leagues of IP litigation. Want a guaranteed six figure income as a 26 year old? Clerk for two years in Marshall, then send your resume to Cooley or Wilson Sonsini or Loeb & Loeb and see how fast they return your call.

This is miles and miles beyond most lawyers, who struggle with basic math and still use dictaphones and WordPerfect and aol.com email addresses.

This also means that the litigation goes faster, which is always something that clients complain about. Win or lose, you want the dispute resolved.
make(* Point) seems much better than having a separate new keyword. Surprised to hear that was changed after just a few days.
Indeed, if you click through to the article the historical data is drawn from, you will see it plotted on a semilog plot. The trend is well described by an exponential function.
The two cases you cite have big differences from the "extremest narrative" that prompted this submission and alone are not a good thermometer for how the court will rule regarding speech in general.

Both cases regarded speech that is already highly publicly tolerable. Sure people may moan regarding the level of rhetoric some in political ads, but it's ultimately just because they're lying. The FDA case is similar, objective facts known about drugs communicated between professionals in fields related to those drugs isn't distasteful to the public.

Both cases were about otherwise-legal speech that was restricted in a narrow business context. Citizens United overturned a finance rule, not Pacifica. Those ads could have been shown before Citizens United if they were funded differently. Doctors could already learn about off label use outside of a sales call.

The circumstances around the speech are important to the court. While I see no chance that regulations on religious hate speech would go over at all (especially not once the Christians realize it would apply to them too), the legal reasoning would probably not draw from either of those as precedent.

If the court actually were to issue surprising rulings on free speech, they would have found in FCC v Fox that Pacifica's "uniquely pervasive" rationale no longer held.

One wouldn't be too hard pressed to make the argument (although I won't) that those cases are examples of the court being business-friendly rather than broadly speech-friendly.
"College" is in this case a proxy for "entrance to the socially-defined middle class". Parents in general (or at least the middle-class ones that would have money to lend/give for college) want their children to be at least as high in the social hierarchy as they are.

Financing someone's business is much more of a mercenary decision; "do you run your own business" isn't really a social class marker in the way "did you go to college" is. It's strictly for the money (or for some, a kind of consumption in the form of a "hobby business" that doesn't actually make money).
This is a great integration for software developers finally promote its activity based in trustworthy data.
When there are museums that consider you to have invented it, and you DID invent it (just perhaps were not the first, though that was not known at the time), it seems fair to say that you did.

After all, we consider that both Newton and Leibnitz invented calculus.

I think luck is a trivial factor in a startups success if you're smart. If you think about success more reductively, and ask yourself "what has to happen for me to succeed?" and "can I accomplish those things?", you'll see that luck isn't too big a factor. I wrote an article that talks about this: https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/cd29597704f9.

External contributors are usually not the problem, since they're intimately familiar with the project and know just how much time and effort the core team invests in it to keep it running. Contributors that have had a positive impact are usually given free commercial licenses, thanking them for their efforts.

The 'screw you contributors' is a common argument used by self-entitled users to try and shame core maintainers into continuing to devote all their future efforts, giving away all their future time and IP away for free - just so they can continue their unfettered use of everything they make, and for them to continue to provide support, so that end-user commercial products can continue to benefit from all their future efforts, uncompensated.
I didn't get that at all from his post. "We really need to migrate off of NGINX" sounds like 'we' is his company, not the entire world.
It's definitely performing better than that on my 2nd gen 13" MBP on Chrome. Could it be struggling with retina?
Interestingly enough approximately the same percentage of employees seem to voluntarily use their social accounts for work.

The whole thing is sort of dumb to me, most people in question probably have a very small number of connections (followers, friends, subscribers, etc) and an even smaller number in the right circles.

I would imagine that those with a few thousand connections or more would never agree to do this without being totally into it anyway.
I'd jump on this if it was LTE. I'm grandfathered into an unlimited plan on verizon. I'm going to have to buy a phone outright to keep that going, but I'm addicted to 4G. I've had it for 3 years and I can't go back. Hopefully a revised edition isn't too far out.

That itch is your problem, not hers. Everyone operating in the public sphere should be honestly trying to pursue the policies they think will lead to the best results (for everyone, for their constituencies, and to some degree for themselves). They should not be trying to live up to labels whose definitions are different at different times, which are useful only when speaking in pretty broad terms, and which largely refer to coalitions with varied individuals of varied personal philosophy.

A ton of the "most Conservative" politicians in American politics aren't anything like "conservative" - changing a slew of things to the way they were 200 years ago, with no eye to the things that have changed technologically, demographically, &c, may still be the right thing to do, but it's not "conservative". I would even argue that opposition to abortion is ceasing to be a "conservative" position - it has been legal for longer than most of the population has been alive. That doesn't mean that people who oppose it on whatever grounds, and consider themselves conservative overall, are necessarily wrong or "hypocritical" to do so.
Good points worth debating.

1. People do silly things because they have "reservation demand" and over time, speculatively, they figured out the most marketable commodity to hold for later spending (gold, silver, bitcoin etc.) Since it's purely speculative, not based on immediate consumption, and always kept in someone's cash balances, it may look silly to martians. But it's useful for people nonetheless. See: http://blog.oleganza.com/post/43378777734/on-circulation-of-...

2. See above. Yes, money is a speculative asset because it's what it is by definition. It's used only to satisfy "reservation demand", or need to hold something ultra-marketable for spending anytime because of uncertainty.

3. It's only fear for those who hedge against USD. There are many ways to do that, not only by buying gold or bitcoins. When you decide to invest particularly in Bitcoin, it's this particular speculation about future acceptance, not fear of USD going down.

4. Same argument that disregards reservation demand. Also: it does not make sense when all gold is a single cube owned by one man. Money is useful when there are many actors holding some portions of it and willing to hold even more. Then you have liquidity. If only you have something unique, it does not become money. Even if it's all gold in the world.

5. Bitcoin depends on p2p network the same way bitcoin and gold depend on the market to value them. Miners are highly motivated to play nice with each other to keep BTC value high. They are also motivated to censor bad spammy actors who try to destroy network or censor transactions. Like, every gold owner is motivated in having good ways to transfer, store and validate gold to keep their value and liquidity in place. There's no dependence on "good will", it's all driven by individual greed and speculation, like with gold.

6. This argument applies to all money, any money. Any good money would have to grow in price as demand for it grows (so it looks like a pyramid). Gold was growing in value too as it was more and more liquid and widely accepted. The quick growth does not tell us if it's tulip mania or real fantastic tool. In both cases the price would have to grow like crazy. You have to look into fundamentals - real reasons why people are making a bet that it will become a huge thing.

7. Another argument which misses reservation demand. Holding cash is useful to owner of that cash as it provides freedom to make choices any time. Holding a stable company allows keeping that cash balance above zero. People work for money directly or indirectly just for that - to have economic freedom to make decisions when they please, depending on the situation.
The bank owns the home, not the occupant. As the other person said, that's a bogus argument.
Unfortunately, this "secondary inspection" is a pretty standard procedure for the Department of Homeland Security. Even though the situation is much better now, a couple year after 9/11 - all non-American males (and some females) will have to go through this secondary check.

The process took 2-3 hours, we have to sit on a room where we can't use our cellphone, and wait until we are called. Then comes the interview, which should be pretty easy if you have nothing to hide. Sometimes you have to show your credit card, letter from school/company, friends/family # to verify, etc. We have to go through this every-single-time we enter the border. Tedious, but that's the norm....

Nowadays they are more lenient on this secondary process, but if you get lucky - you'll get a taste of this "welcoming party" :)
I'm consistently impressed with every new release from RethinkDB. Nice work.
You can just send an USR1 signal to nginx when you restart rsyslog (hopefully with some kind of supervisor). With Upstart, you could use a post-start script in the rsyslog service configuration.

Thank you for the reminder. I've been a long-time customer of them, but I had forgotten that this was one of the reasons. (How embarassing to admit that.)

China is as far from a communist country in anything except in name. Apart from a few "state-run utilities" (which operate largely as capitalist entities), there are very few socialist programs and institutions.

Near as I can tell a purely capitalist system is likely to become a surveillance system, since it more effectively allows for the production of surveillance tools. Surveillance is the ultimate competitive advantage. Almost no one can win against you in the market if you have "total informational awareness", especially if you have no scruples with respect to how you use that information and people are largely unaware of how much that surveillance is costing them.

The person conducting the surveillance can see its benefits, but the victim can't fully grasp its harm. Surveillance is capitalism's way of boiling frogs for fun and profit.
> I’m deep into my second pivot, and haven’t yet delivered an exit two years after that initial money.

Haven't delivered an exit after two years?!? What's wrong with you?!?

Sarcasm aside, while taking money from friends and family may not always be desirable for a variety of good reasons, the problems that arise from it are usually the result of unrealistic expectations.

Most companies never achieve an "exit", the average time to a liquidity event for companies that do is well more than a couple of years and most liquidity events don't produce Hamptons money for everyone involved.

If you have raised capital from friends and family and are sweating bullets after two years because you haven't made yourself and your investors wealthy, the expectations you set for yourself and your investors were way, way off.
Still, it would be pretty inconvenient if newegg, amazon, other online stores wouldn't ship to your home address. Netflix, other services could block them based on billing address. Yes there are ways around this, and the real issue is patent law in the first place. Just a thought experiment.

That's interesting. I have yet to have any issues with D3 working in IE8 and above. Don't really care about anything below that but so long as it support SVG I would imagine it works.

And I've also found HighCharts extremely limiting. I ended up having to break things in HighCharts to meet some requirements. Granted that's a project problem not a HC problem, but D3 made much more sense for me.

To each their own :)
Unfortunately this wasn't the case, my friend (never visited America) didn't have to go through this, only me.
Awesome demo, and a great way to turn your laptop into a heater. Still, performed quite well on my 15" retina mbp.
oh right, those are some pretty strong features too.

I guess it's more that at first glance this seems to be a trivialization of d3's feature-set, which isn't just "some almost finished graphs". I can appreciate something trying to teach people how to do it "by hand" too though.
Salt Cloud is a public cloud provisioning tool
TransactionID generation, as you mentioned it, is probably being limited by the incredible expense of cross-core/socket/etc. sync.

Go single-threaded and divide up a single hardware node (server) into one node per core, and your performance should go way up. You'd want to do something like this anyways, just to avoid NUMA penalties. But treating every core as a separate node is just easy and clean, conceptually. I/O might go into a shared pool - you'd need to experiment.

I've seen this improvement on general purpose software. Running n instances where n=number of cores greatly outperformed running 1 instance across all cores.

Only major design change from one node/proc is that your replicas need to be aware of node placement, so they're on separate hardware. You may even consider taking this to another level, so that I can make sure replicas are on separate racks. Some sort of "availability group" concept might be an easy way to wrap it up.

Also: your docs page clearly says 2PC was chosen (it's in the footnote). Maybe I'm misreading what "basis" means.

Great tips! I had no idea that Akamai had an on-the-fly image processor. That is pretty cool.

Although, at this point, what is the advantage of using responsive design over a dedicated mobile template for your site? If you are going to be doing the work to dynamically load images and such via javascript, why not just build a totally separate view for mobile and push it over via the server?
