This is pretty awesome - it detects a lot of potential bugs you can miss when moving objects into and out of collections and ensures you always know what types of objects are expected when passing collections into other controllers. I'll definitely be giving it a try, thanks.
Pretty much, yeah. The 'access all data on all websites' permission basically gives the extension access to injecting Javascript in all of your pages, which gives the extension full access to the DOM, and thus access to password and credit card fields.

Any big company with that kind of money and connections can bring pretty much anything into the mainstream, not a big merit IMHO...
Wasn't just UVerse & cell either, my AT&T DSL service in San Diego had a severe partial outage for close to an hour. I could access some limited subset of the net in general but most connection attempts resulted in 100% packet loss.
Yes, it only affected ATT customers as far as I am aware. I meant to include DSL haha.
Changed perception? That has to be insane. Just a mere funky web page and you go from not interested to wanting to buy? Good grief. I am stunned that a mere web page can do that for any one in actual reality. You seem far too easily bought. Here, have a shiney thing, there you go...... I had no idea people were so easily manipulated, and equally happy to say so in public.

I really don't get on with these scroll down animated sites.

As usual with these things, I don't see anything useful or informative on the landing part of the page, begin to scroll, see I'm expected to scroll for god knows how long incase there is anything useful, all I usually see is show off animation, I sigh, then close the page.

Why am I suddenly expected to constantly scroll these things? Is it just so some web developer can show off their latest, now tired, seen it all before now, trick?

I want to land on a page, see if its worth anything, then possibly click for more info. If I want to see an animation, video, or what ever, just show the darn thing in a normal video. But I want a choice there, not a silly site that auto starts it, often hurting my ears, or waking up the house, with full volume in the process. If the landing page gives me interest, I'll happily watch a short advert, animation, or whatever to get more info.

Why all this scrolling? There are much simpler ways to show all this, without me having to almost work to get to see it. Its not my message, its theirs. Why are they making it harder for me to see their message? I just left the page.

Just me?

Oh, BTW, I have some magic beans for sale on a pretty website. Any takers?
Sorry, but it is your thinking that is twistend and what is wrong with the world these days, and it is you who should be ashamed of it.
Considering that Google search result ads are riddled with malware* and Google AdSense ads are riddled with malware and that Google Play has numerous ongoing issues with Android malware, I don't think it's really surprising that the Google Chrome Extensions store is also riddled with malware.

* Which my mother confirmed JUST THIS WEEKEND by searching Google for Firefox and Spider Solitaire clicking one of the Google ads up top for each to get the download and... 2 hours of cleaning later and removing 18 different malware apps. Then just deciding it was faster to restore it to a factory image.

* * Which I'm trying to block one by one using the pitiful tools that Google makes available to block individual adsense advertisers.
I would disagree with you. This article also acknowledges that the idea is fundamentally flawed, yet it's a needed service. We should start thinking of solutions.

I used to work in Veterinary IT and the office was above one of the clinics. The clinic cat ('Tom') was a three-legged , diabetic male who'd become completely at ease with all the visiting pet traffic.

One day, Tom ambled round a corner into the waiting area to get to his patch of sun in the middle, just as someone entered with a pretty big rottweiler; the dog saw Tom and started to bark and growl, but Tom just looked up and stayed in his warm spot in the middle of the room.

The dog just stared at Tom as if trying to work out why the cat hadn't moved. After a few more grunts, the dog just sat in a corner and wouldn't take his eyes off Tom. When the owner was called into the consulting room, the dog crept low around the perimeter of the room, working hard to keep as far away as possible and not letting Tom out of his sight - he was really spooked by the laid-back cat. Funniest 'stand off' I've ever seen.
Just realized how lazy I've become, thank you.
There's tons of good stuff out there and what I still remember are the posts from Tyler (RSD), they changed me and his works are way beyond pick-up lines, check his material and his peer group and you find many more talented guys. I'd even consider to book one of those seminars, they are incredibly expensive and look like scam (they are not) but they perfectly brainwash you, reframe your mind and this is what most need. Most concepts are so contrary to what you have been socialized with, so you desperately need this stuff to get on the right track. And more important, it's extremely motivating and eye-opening -- going through that material is like finding the error after days of debugging.

Before I got into PUA 10 years ago I did really everything wrong.
In practice, LGPLv3 is much different than previous versions of the LGPL. The truth is that many excellent projects have chosen to either stick to not go the v3 route intentionally (because of the extra restrictions), and if they do, several of them choose to dual license under both versions. I can think of numerous projects that are under LGPL v2 (like ffmpeg, GEOS, mapnik, custom webkit) which would cause an amazing suite of iOS applications to surface, but with the current situation, they cannot. Signing is not a requirement of any of those libraries mentioned.
All that, and they couldn't get the damn Twitter icon right.
I don't see nothing wrong with separate asynchronous server which handles real-time for your Django site.

When event generated by user happens on your site - you just handle it in a traditional manner i.e. - POST via AJAX, validate, save if necessary and then publish into asynchronous server which broadcasts event to all connected clients. In this way you have a graceful fallback in case of async server downtime, so your user doesn't even notice something went wrong. You are not mixing things which were not developed to be mixed. In this case you are just writing your site as usual and then add real-time elements where necessary.

Using Gevent together with Django seems like monkey patching entire web site to me.

I really respect the work of guys developing uWSGI. But at moment it does not seem to be usable in a simple obvious way. Maybe in future their real-time support will become mature and convenient enough.

Of course, Meteor and Derby like approach is another level of problem solution. But in context of Django I don't think we should consider them as examples. We use python, not javascript - we have no native solution for browser environment and I personally think we do not even need it.
> That would be a perfectly sensible position if not for the fact that they kick you out of PhD school after you finish instead of promoting you.

Promote you? Why would you expect that? A PhD is not a meal-ticket. It's just an endorsement that says you are very good at undertaking novel and independent research. There is no promise made any point that an academic position or related industry position will be waiting for you at the end. As you say, it's just an apprenticeship. Nothing more. It's up to you to figure out what, if anything, you will do with that education once you receive it.
Perhaps you're using a different definition of bootstrapping, but in my understanding it means "starting a business and getting to profitability without taking external money in the form of selling equity or taking on debt"[1]. Accelerators pretty much always take a small chunk of equity, and bank loans are debt (obviously). Crowd-funding in the Kickstarter sense, with "pre-order" sales of a thing, is bootstrapping, but crowd-funding in the seedrs sense with a crowd of people investing by-proxy isn't - it's just a fund raising in a different way.

Munich is neither bad nor small but still I can imagine that finding friends there is hard: in Munich you find those networks and circles which exist for decades and over generations. The people are nice but the fluctuation is too small, the city is not dynamic, night-life is quite limited, you would need 10 years to get into the society and still some parts would not welcome you.

I'm really intrigued. Working in the OCR field, this is something that we do a lot, using inhouse libraries or even dedicated 3rd party solutions. I'll definitely give this a spin in the next couple of days.

I do wonder what happened to normal C# style here though. Had a hard time reading this, because 'suggestItem' or 'editItem' etc. doesn't _look_ like a type/class. A single uppercase/lowercase change and I stumbled a couple of times.
We show lower res while scrolling, load in high-res when stopped. All text, overlays etc are HTML which track frame-by-frame.

Is there such a thing as 'typo checking'? I'd like something that is able to correct accidentally swapped adjacent letters. I'm imagining something that looks at the sequence and timing of keydown and keyup events to make a correction rather than just the finished word.
Uber driver apparently pulled them out safely. It's a shame some countries take change so violently. I love Paris and France, I also use Uber there... this is terrible. SO glad Kat and Renaud made it home safely afterwards.
Technically, he is quoted by another poster further up in the discussion. But the developer does not deny this quote.
The pull request about Rails gzip compression talks about compressing http responses from Rails. While the blog post above, and the Ruby documentation of Net::HTTP, are talking about Ruby's new shiny default of compressing http requests (without care of the compressed response).

Other than including the words 'gzip compression' the two topics are very different.

That sounds good and I also tried once not to make a relationship my number one priority but at the end of the day I lied to myself. This might work for some time and substitutes like good friends, a challenging work will make your time easier but won't fix your real problem.

Still I agree that one needs to have daily habits even when in a relationship.
Does it still chop after it's had an extra 30 seconds or so to load? It lets you start scrolling before it's fully loaded, but unfortunately the backfill-loading causes the scrolling to go choppy.

> the compiler should not complain that the expression is of type u8 and not u16 - it is safe to widen the type!

I'm actually glad it does because it often means there's an error. An explicit type cast is the way to go IMO.
As other posters have stated, they're very useful for collection classes. I've had a lot of stupid bugs in Obj-C that would have been caught by the compiler if it could verify that only the right kinds of objects are going into an NSArray, for instance.

On a proportionate basis, tenured faculty has declined significantly: from 46% to 22% in the USA since 1975.[1] So, what was traditionally a 50/50 shot at tenure, Now it is a 80/20 long-shot. At the margin, tenured track positions are actually even rarer. Recall, of the 22% most of them are not recent hires. So, you're odds may be as low as 9/10 against you getting a tenure job...assuming you got any "faculty job" at all. Since the latter is also decreasingly likely, given a supply glut/relatively, the odds of getting an academic job that is also a tenure job are lower yet.

I agree about some nature documentaries, though I've seen a good number that are clearly manipulative (in that they have staged a situation or misrepresented the facts). The BBC stuff is generally excellent.

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of feature that I can't stand.

It takes approximately a second to type "nction(){}". Actual typing is an insignificant part of the time it takes to write code.

OTOH, for me, the extra cognitive load of having to think about how the editor is going to interpret my keystrokes is a real distraction. What happens if I want to type "fu<new line>"? Will I need to type "fu <new line><left arrow><delete><down arrow>"? Or is the editor clever enough to realise that "fu..." shouldn't be expanded in this context? So, what is the context that the editor sees at this point in the code?... Etc.

Every time the editor types something for me that I wasn't expecting, it distracts me from my flow. Or if I maintain a mental model of what the editor thinks is going on, then I won't be surprised, but I'm also not devoting 100% of my attention to the task at hand.

I do use some very simple auto-completion. So, having the editor re-create the indent of the previous line when I press <return> is OK - because it's completely predictable.

Finally, some IDEs seem to think that its a great idea to pop-up menus on top of the code, where I'm trying to type. (Intellisense, I'm looking at you!) That's completely infuriating. I want to be able to see my code.
(Italian) pro-freelancer video campaign
I just meant to say that, it would be great if their mobile device application had some way of notifying users of an issue. Rather than just have a generic error when you try to upload files... it would have been good if the app had a banner that said they were experiencing issues and normal service would resume in x days... something.
"Easier" doesn't mean easy - many players to the table, we are yet to see whether Tizen or Firefox OS manage to pull that easy feat.

What makes you think Mono plays (or is about to play) such a pivotal role?
Luckily for Uber, the protesters only protest a maximum of thirty five hours per week, Fuck off entirely for the month of August, and won't travel more than two miles from one of the dirty bistros to protest in the first place.

If I was Uber, I would pay cash to all the homeless people to take slow long rides in the normal cabs to block them up.
I've been thinking about this a lot, too. Is there any startup that inevitably needs early investment? Except for biotech or massive big data startups of course.

Because if your product does something new, you can ALWAYS get PR.

What I've seen is that with funding, founders don't focus on the essentials anymore. They are not as careful with whom to hire, they don' think as much about what marketing channels to spend money on. However, without funding, you are basically forced to focus on the very core of your startup, every decision needs to be very thoughtful and you will need to understand every process in your startup in-depth.

A friend of mine once said, funding should never be a lifeline, - it should be motivated by a fast expansion opportunity.
What a great way to win support for your cause.
By linking them I meant using Docker's links feature. http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/use/working_with_links_names...

I have seen people discussing using that link feature where it seemed like they were just setting up a database or something for a single application and then linking that database container. Which seemed like it would be easier to set up the database in the container if possible.

I wasn't saying you can't use Puppet or Chef, just commenting on that particular case with using links for things like database dependencies for a single application.

The use case you describe obviously is not something you would try to manage with Docker alone.

From what you are saying it sounds like you have a good solution.

One thing that I remembered when you mentioned "requirement to run 100s of applications" was this new devops tool called Salt (saltstack.com). I actually don't know much about it but it sounded a little bit like what you are talking about. What do you think of Salt compared to Chef?
"HACKERS AND PAINTERS"
Hands down one of the best books on software development(without any actual code).
The best bits are:
-It comes from someone who has done some good, really good shit, and owned it out there.(He developed a web based platform a year before Hotmail even came into existence)
-All throughout the book , Paul Graham advocates writing good software,good code. That's all!!
-The book takes a philosophical approach, but is not "a sacred collection of chants", and is hence, awesome.
-Its a collection of his essays , which he has written over years , and hence, traverses changing times and trends.
-Though I strongly recommend that one read it page to page, the author himself claims that you can pick up any chapter from anywhere.
- He is friends with Robert Morris!!!(Come on! He gets to hang out with the guy who "invented" First Computer WORM on the Internet)

The books cleanly talks about and focuses on writing good code and unlike a lot of others, tells why writing code is a craft and not a mere JOB.
I really don't see why dynamic libraries couldn't be allowed per app, in a similar vein to other mobile OS.

It is also sad state of affairs that Objective-C builds up on C's tradition of not having proper namespace support.
Yeah because in the past when I consumed media I used to listen to the radio until it went quiet.
Incidentally, are you aware of SprocketNES? https://github.com/pcwalton/sprocketnes

Well, it's Themeforest. I agree that their rejection reasons often seem generic and somewhat random but with the amount of submissions they receive it is understandable. As I said, if the quality is right and you somehow stand out from the crowd chances are pretty high it'll get accepted.
That looks really bad. I use Linux as well, but hadn't checked the rendering in Firefox. Have to change it. Pity, it looked good in Chrome
I agree; it was probably an error to mix those types (though one that will probably raise errors elsewhere should it genuinely be problematic) and it makes everything clearer if it must be explicit.
This is simple case of a Scab breaking down the power of the union and the union fighting back against it.

Violence is wrong and this is not ok.

However, Uber should be more aware of what they're 'disrupting'. Strong unions see this as a foreign company threatening their livelihoods and there will be push back.
An additional annoyance is when your UI freezes as the IDE needs to think while populating a popup window. (such as http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3590489/visual-studio-201...)
The same goes for me! My first job was at a startup that used ASP.NET with C# (with PHP for micro-sites). From there, I've worked at agencies where I've built both large sites and small sites using ASP.NET and C#.

The whole notion of .NET only being suitable for enterprise development is bullshit.
