I'm especially glad for discovering the "box-sizing: border-box" trick! I'm sure it's well known among full-time front-end devs, but as the sole developer in our company these days, it's really handy to find simple resources like this that share such important tricks.

Right. Remember all the drama and moralizing when Apple and Cisco sorted out the right to the name "iPhone?" Me neither.

All this litigation via social media is happening exactly because these are small companies that don't have the resources to litigate via the courts.
For people that work at airports this could be a very worthwhile hack.

Compared to what exactly?

It certainly feels way more responsive than any non-single-page-app in my experience.

The single page apps I use every day are mostly GWT apps (namely Gmail & co), and comparing those to angular, I'd say angular has the lead (though that's not exactly a fair comparison, maybe GWT could be just as responsive). Don't know how it compares to other frameworks.

Obviously native applications usually still beat web apps in that respect (tho the gap is getting smaller).

I don't recognize the building, but the layout is reminiscent of their Conference Center, with its very wide, open hallways and no personal offices. Every time I ever went in there when there wasn't a big event happening, it was vacant just like that. It wouldn't really have been any effort at all to reserve it for filming. [edit: as to why they'd want to show them wandering around in a vacant building, I have no idea other than pure aesthetics]

Changing the logic and UI of an app after it passed review has always been possible, and has been done in the past. Web views was just the simplest way to do it in the past.

Taplytics just turns that into a hosted model that you pay for monthly instead of rolling your own version.

Things are pretty open now, but we're going to open things up as much as we can.

As for buying them, why mess up a good thing?
It's hard to imagine the situation getting much better without greater political change. The Second Amendment has made it very difficult for police to casually come in and slap you around, and that's not a bad thing. However, when they feel that they need to arrest you, well, they're going to bring a veritable army to avoid being causalities...and that's kind of reasonable.

So what has to change? Hopefully, the non-important and trivial laws (i.e. simple drug possession) are no longer enforced. But do concessions have to be made in terms of citizen gun rights? The police would definitely think so.

Meanwhile, while this civic debate goes on, departments are funding these militarized teams. Even if laws are changed so dramatically that these heavy SWAT raids become practically unneeded...you think the middle-managers/deputy-chiefs are going to give up the funds that enlarged their staffing and armories? Or are they going to petition for more trivial laws to enforce?
I wonder if it's just awesome publicity to complain about it.
Aren't there dozens of more appropriate forums and audiences for this kind of thing?

If the historical purpose of the second amendment is to have a citizenry capable of defending itself from unjust government force, and the government is increasingly using unjust force; How does it follow that the citizens need to concede anything?
I think it's more than "additionally", your point is the major point.

It's difficult, but data can in fact control for matchups and schemes.
I recall stumbling across that blog a while back and reading some of the stories -- some of which were frightening.

With almost all police cars now equipped with video cameras and officers wearing body microphones, I find it odd that they can be turned on and off by the officer. Although the camera and body mic are (usually, AIUI) activated automatically when the lights/sirens are engaged, I would love for the camera and microphone to be always-on.
I don't even know where to begin telling you how wrong you are.

While I often just pack a carry-on bag for weekend trips, anything more than 2-3 days I'm checking a bag. I don't have to pay for it, my bags get priority-tagged so I don't have a long wait at the other end, and I've had to reroute due to weather at a connection twice in the past year, both of which I knew about before arriving at the airport.

So of the arguments raised against checking bags in the replies further down, none of them actually apply, and checking a bag means less stuff for me to lug around in the airports.

The choice of whether to check a bag or not is, thus, dependent on the specific passenger, the specifics of their trip, etc., and it is irresponsible and flat-out wrong to suggest otherwise, especially in such a "this is right and everything else is wrong" fashion.
As I said yesterday[1], I think we've reached the point where better enforcement of laws harms more than it helps. A big reason for this is that "crime" is a very broad subject, covering everything from vagrancy to murder. Measures that might make sense against violent crime end up being used for minor violations.

Similar to how firefighters, EMTs, and police are separate agencies with different uniforms and vehicles, I wish police were split into violent and non-violent crime departments. It would solve quite a few problems. First, we could have something more nuanced than the typical "cops are bad"/"cops are good" debate. Second, we might see decreases in some types of crime, since minor criminals wouldn't fear informing the Department of Homicide. (Similar to how nobody fears calling the fire department if there's a fire.) Lastly, it would make it obvious where budgets were being spent. Most taxpayers are fine with throwing money at law enforcement, because they think it's preventing violent crime. If they saw how much was going to the Department of Vice, they might have other ideas.

Sadly, I doubt this will ever happen. These agencies are too big to change in any reasonable time frame.

As a general rule: if you think Firefox is slow/laggy, try running it with addons disabled. One or more addons are often the culprit.

For page load lag, addons like ABP are often especially bad because they're running the URI of each request against a bunch of regex filters to determine if the load should be allowed to begin.

So, they make a claim i'm having trouble substantiating (but may or may not be true, of course :P).

They state the PTO has a problem with fiftythree's mark, but actually, the PTO approved it for publication (yes, after some discussion).
It was published for opposition (IE the PTO approved it)
A request for extension of time to oppose has been filed.

But it hasn't been "refused", or else it would not have issued to the stage it did.

I can see some correspondence going back and forth with the USPTO, which i imagine related to figure53 in some way, but hard to say.

Despite claims otherwise, the goods/services this mark applies to is still the same on the approved mark:

"Computer hardware design; computer software design for use in graphics, namely, software for use in writing on smart phones and tablets with either a stylus or a finger; technical support services, namely, troubleshooting of computer software problems; updating and maintenance of computer software"

and
"Computer graphics software for mobile applications, namely, software for use in writing on smart phones and tablets with either a stylus or a finger"

SO i have trouble with the "USPTO thought it was confusing and refused it". From what i can see,t hat did not happen.

Also note as of right now, nobody owns a trademark on "paper", though FiftyThree applied for a mark on 1/28/2014, citing use back to 2012.

"One consequence of this architecture was that submitting Gitcoins was decently slow — we weren't maintaining persistent connections to the backend gitcoin server, so there was a decent amount of overhead. We compensated for this by tuning the difficulty to ensure the time to mine a coin was large compared to the time to complete a push."

Interestingly, this is the reason Bitcoin confirmations are 10 minutes and not less: it gives plenty of time for new blocks to be broadcast to the majority of the network.

It's not currently a big issue since the maximum block size is 1 MB (50% propagation typically takes less than 10 seconds: http://bitcoinstats.com/network/propagation/) but to scale to Visa volumes block sizes will need to be increased to hundreds of megabytes.

It's also a reason why quicker confirmation times of Litecoin and Dogecoin aren't necessarily a good idea.

Compound words can cause the same consumer confusion, which is why I don't see it as any different from one word. You'll definitely get a call from corporate counsel if you launch a truck called the F-151, a burger named the Huge Mac, or an energy drink named Blue Bull. Naming things is hard.

I love these posts. Even though I'd never use this in production, it's an excellent intro to the same basic data structure taught everywhere. But instead of mucking with a templated C++ implementation (or getting lost in the "plain cons cells for everything!" weeds)... Clojure! It also shows that as much as idiomatic Clojure frowns on OOP and mutability... it's not really that unpleasant to read. I almost want to go through all my old C++ assignments and redo them in Clojure like this.
To be fair, Bitcoin experienced a hard fork last year too.

That said, I agree Dogecoin's dev team talent is non-existent compared to Bitcoin's, but to some extent they can just copy everything Bitcoin/Litecoin does, for now.

There are lots of good reasons why cops should be allowed to search an impounded vehicle. Most notably safety, since who knows what you carry in your car.

There's no reason why cops need to search a car "for safety". Someone who is not a LEO could easily do it, if as a society we think its worth the cost, and at the same time, those people can be banned from speaking to LEO's about whatever it is they find in the car (including drugs).
really nice idea--both the pair programming and the code review. My Team is comprised of very bright devs, but i have this uncomfortable feeling that their technical growth is impeded somewhat by inbreeding--eg, during code review, they hear the same stuff over and over again, because it comes from the same people (usually me, and of course there's the real danger that i'll start to believe my own BS). Low-friction access to properly vetted experts in narrowly defined subject area, is compelling; in fact, that these experts come from outside your project, your team, your company, can, for certain tasks (eg, code review) be a significant advantage.

one question/concern: for putative "experts" to sign up for consideration by AirPlay requires that they grant what seem to me quite broad permissions. For instance, to connect a LinkedIn account, one must grant allow AirPlay to "Retrieve and post updates to LinkedIn as you" I can see why that might be desirable from AirPlay's point of view, but do you consider it necessary?

Angular most certainly does not establish any app structure conventions. You're thinking of Ember. Angular does, however, enforce other conventions such as modularity and separation of concerns with its dependency injection and directive-based approach to DOM manipulation. That's a very important distinction to make. It strikes the right balance between convention and configuration, IMO.
If you don't want someone to eventually use the same name as you, you shouldn't use something so generic.

Designing a DEC Alpha Microprocessor
The important thing that I do not think most people understand is that this is routine. It happens every day on numerous occasions across the country. Unfortunately, it seems that this, along with so much else, has long ago become part of our society and culture.

Balko's book, "Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces" is a great read about this exact subject. In it he addresses the issue with many examples and some ideas on how police forces can (and some have) changed somewhat to use less violent tactics and more community policing resulting in less crime. That's blasphemy to any politician of course who cannot be seen as "soft on crime."

The reality is, the "us vs. them" mentality of many citizens nowadays is likely beyond fixing. That is not to say that there aren't a multitude of ideas that could work. Indeed, there are many solutions to these problems, but such solutions will not be pursued.

At least they (I assume) got the address right this time. And the son in the bathroom should buy a lottery ticket. Perhaps his divine luck in staying alive (and luck is all that it was) will make him rich as well.
You're confusing things here, this is about the reaction to someone else introducing a product named the same, or similar to your own badly named product. You're describing the situation where one is the person who does the introduction of the second product. Related, but different things.

The second problem of the illiterate flashing ones router is more difficult, but not completely impossible to deal with. It's not optimal, but you could force redirect all http connections to the router from inside the network to a page where the user has to log in and click flash for the router to download and update the flash itself. Auto-updates are possible, but not without risk either.

Capping the price at $150/mo isn't really a wise decision. If a big customer like MLB wants to use Tapalytics for their iOS app which i assume has millions of MAUs, you will still be forced to charge them $150/month because that is your top most tier and it comes with unlimited MAUs.

In the long run, there is a good chance that a significant portion of your revenue might come from enterprise customers who would be willing to pay you multiples of the $1800 ARR. Adding an enterprise/custom quote as the top most tier is a vey common practice. Looking at the pricing page of similar companies (Kissmetrics, VWO, Optimizely, Mixpanel) might help.

Could be. I'm not in finance personally, just rattling the grapvine. That said, the theory isn't bad: Lennart Augustsson, Don Stewart, and Neil Mitchell are all in the UK I believe.

I think the story still holds though: financial analysts are provided an upgrade path from Excel to Excel+Haskell backend, to Haskell embedded DSLs. The same sort of game might be happening with S&P in Boston.
SELinux if left enabled (as it should be...) will help mitigate the risks. But root access often isn't necessary to totally screw you. For example, adding a machine to a botnet does not require root, nor does accessing the data for your application (such as databases and local files owned/manipulated by your apache user).
Back in the day, non-violent crimes were handled by peace officers and violent crimes handled by specialists.

But budgeting, training, progress, and influx of war abundance has merged and blurred the two.

We could end up with a Judge Dredd scenario.

Or we could end the war on terror, which in turn reduces the urgency we have now of eroding privacy, and we can also end the war on drugs, which in turn reduces the incentive for police forces to invade homes and seize property for profit.

I firmly hold the belief all that will happen when the current crop of crappy old people in power die.
