One thing that I did when I was learning it, was to prepare a set of training locks.

I bought two locks, diassembled then and reassembled leaving aside a number of pins out.

So I had a lock with only one pin, one with two, one with 4 and one with all the 5 pins.

It helped a lot because you learn to feel when the pin stucks on the open position and also to learn about how much pressure you need to put on the tensor. Too much and it will prevent the pins to go down. Too little and the pins will not stuck on the outer frame.

Ahh, and ofcourse, see the lock diassembled over my desk, and reassemble it gave a lot more insight on how it works than to just watch some animations.
It's because of backwards compatibility. The order of struct fields in memory is defined to be their declaration order by the C standard, and a lot of network protocol code will stop working if that assumption fails. So compilers are not free to reorder fields in memory.

The packing algorithm for Cap'n Proto [1] is cache-aware, within the bounds of also accommodating network optimizations, backwards-compatibility, etc. So yes, newer systems do perform this optimization.

You're right that audience data is going to be full of the obvious. But it's also good for watching trends, before they go bust. A number of genres (e.g. superheroes) have cycles of growing, being massively popular, then dying off for a couple decades.

If you're in the business of making content, you want to join the trend early and get out before everyone realizes it's a fad. A truly great movie can buck trends, or even change them, but there are few truly great movies. Or you could just ignore this all and make the perennial favorites, generic romance or action movies.

BTW, I read the Australian article and it doesn't tackle the real issue. I don't care if the NSA is spying on foreign citizens, I care if the NSA has even gathered one iota of data about me, when there is no suspicion that I specifically have done anything wrong. You have a J.D., so you can appreciate how controversial even something like a DUI checkpoint has been in the US. I would rather let criminals go free then let even one innocent man end up in jail. The mandate of our constitution demands the most liberal interpretation of civil liberties. For Americans, this kind of data collection should be illegal. I don't care if people want to call Snowden a hero or not, but he did the 'right' thing and nothing you or your suggested article present are satisfying arguments:

1. They don't address spying on Americans, specifically.

2. They don't present specific evidence of how this intelligence saved specific lives.
This is a nice idea. Gists are also cloneable, giving you the the power of git and any tooling that you want to use to update your list.

Also, come on people, you all know that "Best" is subjective. This is the best tool for this guy, so there's no need to shoot it down.
That's what I thought initially but I don't think it was meant to be that negative but more reflective of the content of the post which had to do specifically with how fast the hyperloop could go in certain areas.
Well, technically since they didn't sign up for getting listed on Google they shouldn't complain about getting delisted. :-)

Also, they could have submitted their site to Google.
It shouldn't :) Back with Firefox 1.x I think, we were using ZIP files and always supported unzip over the old one. But we ran into a situation where if a file was there from the previous version, it would remain since the new version no longer had that file. Oddly, the new version would try to use the old file and crash. That was back when I was only doing Firefox and Thunderbird, I think. As we added in apps like OpenOffice and GIMP it became much more of an issue.

So, we have the PA.c Installer able to take directives like whether or not to preserve everything in App, whether to preserve or remove specific files, whether to preserver or remove specific directories, etc. In addition to overwriting the existing files with the new ones, of course. This made life a lot easier on everyone. And users didn't need to worry about manually deleting specific directories but keeping others when updating. You just point the new version to the same X:\PortableApps\AppNamePortable directory and it intelligently upgrades. It even supports custom code for things that fall outside those simple keep/preserve so we can specifically remove certain settings on an upgrade where a given app breaks its own settings and doesn't support the old ones, etc.

For example, I just wrote the package for FreeCommander XE Portable for the publisher to release. The new one doesn't support the old settings and will break if they remain, so I have the installer back them up within Data (just in case the user wants to revert manually later). I then had it read the preferred language from the old settings and write them into the new ones for the user for convenience. I could get more explicit and read/write other settings as well if I had the time.
SEEKING WORK - remote, based in Connecticut

I'm a web developer and designer (4+ years), and work out of my own shop, Heta (http://heta.co). I primarily develop, design, and customize WordPress themes, or convert PSD designs or sites built with HTML/CSS/jQuery to WordPress. I'm also building an app and run my own server as a hobby, so I've gathered alot of useful, practical knowledge along the way.

I've worked on complex sites for digital agnecies (30+ templates, 25+ plugins), as well as on smaller sites for small businesses/individuals (10 templates, 10 plugins).

Technologies I use: PHP, HTML, CSS/LESS/SASS, jQuery, CodeIgniter, WordPress, mySQL, ZURB Foundation (3/4/5), Bootstrap, SVN or Git for version control, Fogbugz or Sifter for issue tracking, HipChat to stay in touch. Self-taught and resourceful.

Reach out to me at: hn [at] heta [dot] co (not com). I can send you links to live sites I've developed, sites I've converted to WP, etc. I'm usually around from 9-6 Eastern Time, so drop me a line if I can help.

The 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act was the first piece of gift-wrapped legislation, granting the leagues legal permission to conduct television-broadcast negotiations in a way that otherwise would have been price collusion. Then, in 1966, Congress enacted Public Law 89‑800, which broadened the limited antitrust exemptions of the 1961 law.

But in general, the teams make tons of money and have close zero profits. They use variations of "hollywood" accounting. Which might help explain the cognitive dissonance of profitless monopolies =D.

This sort of highlights a problem I've been running into. I have a prototype of a device I'm looking to build running with a Raspberry Pi, but I would love to use a BeagleBone Black for the advanced chipset features and greater power efficiency. However, I can't find any low-cost small screens to use with the BeagleBone. With the RPi, as mentioned by samworm, you can get cheap rear-view camera screens and they work just fine. With the BBB, you either need HDMI (and big and bulky cables) or find a screen that somehow plugs into the GPIO ports. These don't exist.

For the record, cheap and small is <$50 and <4" (>2.5"). Never been able to find one. It's a shame the RPi is so terrible, technically speaking.

I'm a happy git user, but tell me how this is supposed to work: there's me and one other guy working on a project. There are three logical branches: trunk, his branch, and my branch. In SVN there would be five source trees: those three on the server, his working copy and my working copy. But in git we end up with fifteen: the three on the server, my branch on my machine, his branch on my machine, master on my machine, the remote-tracking copies of those three on my machine, and the same again on his machine. All of which could be different.

How do I reduce that complexity? I always pull and never fetch, which helps slightly, but only slightly; pull seems to fetch other branches, so it's still possible to have my copy of a branch end up behind my remote-tracking copy of that branch. There's no command analogous to pull for "add and commit and push", so that's always a second step to possibly forget (I don't want to rely on an alias as I work on a number of different machines). Most problematic at the moment is that there's no way to tell the difference between an up-to-date branch and a non-remote-tracking branch, so I sometimes delete branches that I haven't fully pushed, because I forgot to make them remote-tracking, so they didn't show up as behind when I "git status"ed.
I think that it's important for one to make a distinction between addiction and dependency.

They're different. You can be addicted to a substance or activity, without having any physical dependence on it. Yet people often use addiction to describe both scenarios, making it ambiguous.

One can get addicted to virtually anything imaginable.
What We Eat Affects Everything
Couple of things I wonder:

- SdCard + full-blown OS = SdCard dies after a while? Or more serious problems like the rPi simply yielding it empty? Could another type of storage be used to boot and run from?

- more information on the OS? What's it based on? Open source so we can fiddle with it?

- what processor is that exactly? Likely the manufacturer provides an OS + libs for it as well (like Ti does for their OMAP), probably the board can be booted with that as well?

- will the schematics be open-sourced?

- debugging capabilities of running programs?

btw quite some comments starting with "I wonder" here. Authors should provide more information probably..

Nice idea. Depending on where you sell this from you may want to check the laws about providing such a tool and if you need to verify anything about the customer before allowing a sale. For example in some parts of the USA one has to show proof of either being a licensed locksmith or a member of some law enforcemnt group.
It's probably omitted to keep the base cost down. WiFi modules that you can get for low-quantity applications are expensive[1]. Cheaper modules generally require higher-volume consumer electronics applications--not to mention volumes of NDAs simply to get module documentation. Adding WiFi (or wireless comms of any type) also makes you an intentional radiator[2], which potentially complicates your FCC testing, adding cost and delay. So, from an MVP perspective, it makes sense to leave WiFi off if it's not critical to the base application--at least for your first revision.

Its more about bandwidth and you know it. The system needs to transport thousands of people per hour, and Hyperloop (as designed) only has 40 pods carrying only 28 people each.

We're looking at a (theoretical) $8 Billion system... that is probably grossly underestimating costs at that... that can only support 1120 passengers at a time, max. On the entire system.

Hyperloop may be fast, but it transports very very few people. A single-train will transport more people. Frankly, when looking at mass-transit, the #1 concern is moving people, lots of people and quickly.

Just like people today care about the "bandwidth" of their internet connections, I guarantee you that city planners are more interested in the "bandwidth" of a high-speed system.
"It’s really not okay to pour down personal hate and derision on people who happen to use and like a tech product that competes with the one you prefer."

"Apple cultists are often quick to question not just the judgment, but the motives and personal character of anyone who dares to question the company’s magic touch"

What happened to not pour down derision?

People are always quick to point out apple fanatics. I wonder if this is due to a real widespread zealotry among apple adoptees or is it some kind of knee-jerk contrarian response to apple's marketing.

I guess either way, the controversy is part of what keeps Apple relevant in pop culture.
That reminds me of another paper system I used for a while. Add new tasks to the page. When it fills, write all unfinished tasks on the next page, and mark them with a star to show they've been moved. Next time you move tasks, do NOT move tasks that were starred.

Basically, it's a tacit admission that you're not going to get around to it. This is good, because for most of us, our true to-do list is deeper than our ability or will to finish it. Deleting the backburner things helps reduce guilt.

I forgot to mention, I don't keep a separate work and personal TODO list. Again, I think it ends up harming the piece of mind aspect because it creates more than one place for keeping track of the things you have to do. Also, it's far to easy for me to ignore the personal items for the work items, which again defeats the purpose of keeping the list. So, if personal items are starting to crowd out my work items on the list, it's a signal that I'm working too much and need to focus on balance.
