I'd love to hear more detail about your experience on this point.
You're looking at quite a lot of hardware investment, yes. I'd say around $1500 for graphics cards alone, if you want to run at high/ultra settings at 60 FPS. You could probably get away with a single 780 ti or a single 290x if you were fine with 30 frames per second or decreased quality settings.
You're obviously trolling or conflicted about this but I'll answer nonetheless.

> I'm so confused! Doesn't The Patriarchy ruthlessly enforce 'feminity' itself, as 'society' understands it? Wouldn't that necessarily mean that Margaret Thatcher might actually be the most feminine precisely because she adopts exactly what 'society' says is not feminine?

Yes. That is the viewpoint of first wave feminism as I understand it and I'm not one to argue in favor or against it. I can confirm that it's not a belief universally held by all feminists.

> Is it Sherly Sandberg's hairstyle(s) that make her more feminine than Thatcher?

No, even though that it's probably related. What makes her more feminine is that she embraces her softer and more nurturing side.

> Or did she "capitalize" on engaging in Patriarchy-approved feminine behaviors?

She capitalized on it to the degree that one could argue that given Mark's lack of soft skills her softer, nurturing, communicative side (which are indeed traditionally perceived as more feminine) were themselves a crucial asset in attaining her current position.
Not sure about this specific case, but I remember NYT.com completely freezing up Mac one morning few years ago. I opened up NYT and noticed some fancy ad done in flash on the page. And then I noticed my Mac was just crawling. After a few minutes I thought maybe flash was the cause. Updating flash plugin in firefox took care of the problem.

With auto update of flash in chrome, no more issues with flash related stuff.
I think it's really about the IMEI on stolen phones, rather than anything else. And it's in the UK, where there are differences in legal procedure to US. But the DMCA is supposed to be about copyright protection and yet it's being used to keep phones locked to a carrier, so laws with unintended consequences are worrying.
It seems to be a fact, but have a little imagination. Your phone is leaking lots of data, data that is so useful to investigators that they'd prefer not to listen to you because they'd have to assign someone to interpret what was meant minute by minute.

They appear to log both when you hover over the input box without clicking, and when you click it and enter text in addition to the aforementioned time delay trigger (that I didn't test).

Here is some of the data they are transmitting:

[{"user": "BLANKED","page_id":"BLANKED","posts":[["censorlogger",{"cl_impid":"BLANKED","clearcounter":0,"instrument":"composer","elementid":"BLANKED","parent_fbid":BLANKED,"version":"x"}, BLANKED,BLANKED]],"trigger":"censorlogger"}]

BLANKED is inserted where some of the data could potentially be personally identifiable information. Of note is the "clearcounter". They apparently evaluate how many times you clear the data. The ajax call is apparently a more general function as they must supply the trigger.

Basically, YMMV.

To develop, sure, it is feasible (I did this, but for a simple webservice), but it may be missing something essential to you.
Precisely.

I spent some time at PayPal and, one thing I think is being lost in all of these discussions is exactly what was "fixed."

All your points on introducing new practices to an older, establish (in the company) framework and technology are spot on. I see this as more a way to shake things up and improve things under the guise of new tech.

Also, this is in the top-most bit of their stack. All of the underlying services are the same. That's where the majority of the latency exists and a lot of it comes from old-school PayPal. But you can't shift a company by trying to tackle a deeply integrated bit of architecture first. The easiest place to demonstrate that change is feasible and actually quite beneficial (to a company that has been change-averse in the past) is your app tier. Get them on your side with an easy (easier?) win, then tackle the harder problems.
Washing Hands in Hot Water Wastes Energy, Study Says
Move to Wyoming. I used to run into the governor and his daughter at Baskin Robbins, no security detail or entourage.
Hmmm I don't know. I think the conventional wisdom is to use a service-oriented architecture with the best front-end tools you can find.

The advantage of JVM in my opinion is that a lot of their toolchains have this approach in mind and simplify integration of the stack. Java can be used for a lot, when you add in other JVM languages that is a lot of possibility. Then again, if you design proper web services you can make almost any front/back-end interact, the trick is just in minimizing that amount of impedance.
The nice thing about that kind of argument is that, at least as I've usually heard it stated, the idea that there are inherent and fundamentally different male and female modes of thinking is impossible to falsify. If any woman fails to fit into the expected female mindset, it's easy to explain that as her surpressing her natural feminity in order to fit into male-dominated society. (Similar arguments have been used by feminists to impose a single, prescriptive model of female sexuality on women and dismiss all the women who don't fit into it.)

That seems to be a pretty popular opinion among the Java pros that I know. Some of the early Scala adopters seemed to believe that, and many are likely still of that opinion. It may take years for an alternative JVM language to be dominant in terms of overall code, but might not be quite as far off when using a metric such as 'new projects'.

I don't know if you have multiple google accounts (I have personal gmail, personal analytics and some work related accounts).

Try this: Go to Google.com as a logged in user and try to "switch" to your new account. What was originally one click to logout and one click to bring up a un/pw now takes a ton of additional user interaction.

I'm no Jony Ive but whoever thought this was a good workflow needs to reconsider.
Pope Francis has also rejected some of the traditional trappings of the Papacy (1):

For his unveiling as pope Wednesday to the throng in St. Peter's Square, he shunned a special fur-trimmed red half-cloak and golden cross in favor of plain white vestments and his usual iron cross. To go pray at a church in central Rome on Thursday, he hopped into a regular Vatican sedan, not the papal limousine. He prefers a simple miter to more elaborate, richly decorated headgear.

He reportedly has more simple living arrangements than his predecessor.(2)

Not as frugal or simple as Mujica, but a big shift from his predecessor, Benedict, who "loved the pomp and circumstance." (1)

I don't think /ajax/bz has anything to do with censorlogging. I'm seeing it hit just for scrolling down the page.
I love it!

Please create more puzzles/levels.

And please please try to improve the UI:

- I find "click to toggle" somewhat annoying. Maybe try "click to set", "ctrl-click to unset"?

- A light-grey grid background would make it easier to align shapes.

- Similarly, showing the changing coordinates on mousemove would also help with alignment.

- Highlighting the current grid square under the cursor allows for more confident placement of cells.

- It'd be nice if the canvas was centred on the page.

- Adjustable speed of the simulation. Just a "slow/medium/fast/ultra" selector would be fine IMO.

BTW, do you know about the Hashlife optimization/memoization technique? You probably won't need it to speed up this 64x64 simulation, but in case you hadn't heard about it, check it out because it's a fairly amazing trick (IMHO) and also results in ridiculous speed-ups.

Cheers to Amir and the Trigger team, but I don't understand why there's a big announcement about the management change. I got an email about it, which felt odd.

Pull Request Inception
> all participants must have at least one child (living with them)

I wouldn't want to restrict it to parents actually, I believe there are many other people that can't get 48 hours in a row off because of work/family obligations, and I don't see why they shouldn't compete with less busy people. 48 (or 30?) hours in 30 days seems quite doable without much sacrifice.

The one thing that bothers me is that it shouldn't be _too_ easy to cheat and put more hours in. Maybe the whole thing could be coupled with some script you need to use for accessing your project and that times it.

Of course you could still cheat if you wanted to, you can just as easily cheat in LD48. But it should be easier to not cheat than to cheat, which wouldn't be the case if people keep track of their time themselves.

> money? I liked the "get to the market and earn $1" approach from LD.

Not sure about the $1 thing. I'd rather build a fun game than trying to bring something unpolished to market at all costs. But it sets a higher bar for sure.
I'm confused, does anyone know the definitive answer as to whether Google grabs all images when the mail is received by the mail server? Or does it grab the images when the user opens the e-mail. The fact that the article says that open tracking still works implies the latter.

Anyone have a definitive answer?

In addition many ISPs (e.g Virginmedia in the UK) have outsource POP and IMAP Mail to Google, I wonder if the caching applies to that e-mail too, when collected by a regular e-mail client.

Lots of good questions -- you can find a good info on what we do here: http://www.brianmadden.com/blogs/brianmadden/archive/2013/12...

1. We'll support all HTML5 compliant browsers on all OSs at launch. This public demo is designed as a technology preview and we're primarily focused on user experience, not necessarily feature completeness. If you still want to try the demo, we recommend Chrome -- it's is lightweight and free.

2. It's running on AWS G2 instance with NVIDIA GRID indeed.

3. Any Windows (and soon Linux) app can be onboarded to the system in about 10 minutes, then scaled/delivered to thousands of users.

4. There are also native terminals for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

5. Session time is limited to a couple of minutes (to handle the load) but you can jump back in if you want to.

For more details and early access, sign up for our beta (there's a form on our home page).

Cheers,
Nikola
I made a Firefox add-on recently [1], and it was horrible. The API is underdocumented and obtuse, and the dev enviornment is annoying to get set up. On top of that, AMO review times are on the scale of months. Writing the equivalent Chrome extension [2] was a considerably better experience.

Facebook and the iPad are in at least one way the two most useful and amazing tech products I've ever encountered. My mom never "got" computers despite having a house full of techies to help her. She got an iPad and Facebook and without even so much as asking me or my brother how to do something, is now e-mailing, texting, and sharing videos and videos of my daughter with her other grandparents. It's been a total and utter game-changer.

'Cellular phones work by periodically scanning for and "registering" with the nearest base station (generally the one with the strongest radio signal).'

This is not true. A handset registers when it enters a new zone. A city is typically broken down into several zones. The handset does not register itself with every new cellsite ("tower") it encounters. If one's phone stays in the same area, it will never transmit while idle. This is the basis for its long battery life.

I really didn't mean to say this only affects parents. Busy people (which definitely includes working college students) generally seem to have to make too many sacrifices to get 48 hours in a row off.

If you request every image (regardless of if the email was opened) and then dedup, then I don't think the marketers get much info.
Yes, the prototype I tested was similar

But the keys are too small for the fingers (IMHO). And it's a fragile item in the hardware.
Of course, but it's a whac-a-mole game.

Such instances can be detected (e.g. if you see 100 emails with the same HTML, but with image URLs that are slightly different). Google can then prefetch those images or it can re-enable the optin for displaying just for those emails.

If I were to do email tracking, I would just filter the GMail accounts out of the statistics, because you can't be sure of when GMail's proxy loads those images and what you're interested in is the conversion rate (not in the total number of people that opened their emails, you only care about totals for emails sent and clicks). But a service like MailChimp is not interested in doing this, because MailChimp is a third-party that's interested in showing big numbers to their customers.

And putting these numbers aside, the privacy issues related to IP tracking, or the security issues are gone. So I think this is good.
I'm pretty sure Uruguay can afford a palace and a motorcade ;-)

That's the point behind mattress covers/pads. For $50/$100, you get something to put on top of the mattress to absorb the dirt. After a few years, you can replace them for a fraction of the cost of a new mattress. They can also be removed and washed.
Thank you for that candid response. Once you get over the barrier of being in a network it seems like you get to work on some really interesting and challenging problems. I don't understand why there is such an inherent bias to being multidimensional.
Very nice story indeed :D
In the story, the characters talk about nested levels of simulation and how slightly disheartening is to know that they are not in the top layer, therefore not "real".

Afai(!)k, there might as well not be a top layer but infinite nesting -- or, even more charmingly, endless recursion, each simulation containing not another layer, but another iteration of itself. This at least would eliminate the embarrassment of being "less real" than the above layer.
Well, I found if offensive that 9:10 examples in a sexism sensitivity training video I saw were men offending, or deriding, or otherwise abusive towards women, with only one example of the reverse.

In terms of comments in a source code or even documentation, I've read plenty of times where it's "she" or "he" and honestly don't care too much... "they" imho is a bit too generic and would rather see "the user" or just "user" as the generic.

I think it's mostly bullshit. Even more so given that some words in many languages have a gender leaning... is it "le user" or "la user"? Given that, one would probably be more appropriate.

Crime data and nearby photos in Airbnb listings (Chrome Extension)
True, but there will always be tons of "inherently bad" jobs (smelly, sweaty, monotonous).

It is unnecessary to make these jobs MORE shitty by bad management.

For example, the worst thing IMO that Walmart does (IDK about Amazon), is to mandate that employees be on call 24x7 to be ready to come in for a shift on short notice (3 hours). This cripples the worker from taking on a 2nd job, school, or anything else. This traps them into the Walmart job & makes this not an entry level job.
Looks like the final nail in the coffin for Microsoft/Windows.
