I have a pooler's cpuminer (https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer) running with spare resources on my server, and while I wouldn't recommend keeping a dedicated machine for CPU mining, it does cover about half of my server costs.
it's VERY VERY hard to believe that there's some sort of international century long conspiracy of white men that get's together and represses women in every industry, career,country,time frame and scientific field EVER.

Looking about there are many and varied ones and they seem to have been going a lot longer than that, not all of them are run by light skinned folk though.

Quite often their leaders wear elaborate hats, you must have seen them on the telly. Is not all they do, but it does seem to be a theme.

You must have seen them, they have loads of pointy buildings everywhere, with slightly different styles to show which team they are on.

And each team has a book. You know.
It would surprise me if Google did not experiment with this concept. Looks to be a natural extension of ChromeOS.
The Masters of Silicon Valley Are Meeting in Secret Right Now
Thanks, Jonathan. As the chrome plugin is only for desktop chrome, responsive has been a lower priority for us, but a non-usable HP for mobile is not good.

Have you checked out the tool?

That wasn't a very good essay. Kind of sad that it gets voted so high.

First and foremost it's way way too long for little actual content.
Who are these people, and why are they not being named?
"How to Spend $75 Billion to Make the World a Better Place" - I'm about halfway through, but according to this Copenhagen consensus group, which appears to be made up of Nobel prize-winning scientists, the ROI for global warming mitigation is negative (using the same methodology they applied to the other items they were considering).
Aside from Square and Groupon, nobody big is building any complex apps around either of these technologies. The question has been and remains: if ember and angular are so great, where are the real use cases?
If you have a nice Xeon quadcore maybe. Either way CPU mining isn't profitable as you're not making enough to pay for electricity. I set up my Windows dev machine to mine when the computer is idle, can't hurt. I've leaving it on when I take a lunch break for instance.

I go for pooler's cpuminer.
"... A configuration in which the vast majority of users sync lightweight clients to more powerful backbone nodes is capable of scaling to millions of users and tens of thousands of transactions per second.

[PayPal] handles around 4 million transactions per day for an average of 46 tps or a probably peak rate of 100 tps. "

When Dogecoin approaches Paypal's transactions per second an engineering solution will have to be found.
At a previous job/business, we built a quite large revenue stream doing analytics and A/B testing for clients by demonstrating the effectiveness on charity jobs.

See if you can convince $large_company to let you do (and most importantly, talk about) side projects for reputable charities (perhaps giving credit to $large_company as well as taking it for yoursef) or for friends businesses/startups.

The other thing I see working well for friends/colleagues is presenting at conferences/meetups. We've got a "Web Analytics Wednesday" meetup here in Sydney, and a pretty much continual flow of web design/development related meetups/mini-confs/industry-specific groups. See if you can pitch "I want to present some of what we at $large_company do to people in $industry at $event" to your boss.
I agree with WalterSear that organizing by feature is best. For things that are shared, I like to have a shared/util directory for the miscellania, grouped by purpose (as needed). So, say, if you end up with a few directives used for form validation, you might end up with a util/validation directory somewhere.

The most important question is "can I quickly guess what directory this directory lives in?"

When you come across directives that clearly feel "utility", you will be tempted to look in a utility folder. When a directive is something tightly coupled to a feature, you might be tempted to first look in the directory related to that feature.
It is not legit. OP is trying to use "drunk" story to cover for inconsistencies, yet his typing and complex sentence construction remain pretty good. I am not an expert, but my typing is first thing that goes.

do a Google search for "a look back facebook" and there will be a link in about any article. Here's one: http://thenextweb.com/facebook/2014/02/04/facebook-unveils-l...

just click on the link and your video should pop up. I did see something in one article that based on the content of your facebook (the quantity of your pictures and posts) you may either see a video, a collection of photos, or just a "thank you" note.
Agreed - I have to mention necroscope86 on YouTube. By far my favorite LP'er. I think he had a snafu with his account that deleted a bunch of videos, but he had some very funny X-COM play throughs. It was more about his commentary and British accent that made it worth watching than the actual games themselves.
Bing was more than just a "rebranding" of Live search. And another thing, it shook Google from complacency. Do you remember the spate of improvements that came on the heels of Bing, some copied directly from Bing like infinite scroll on the image search?

We are all better off with a Bing than without. I can comprehend literally zero harm caused by Bing. It's not like you can make a "but IE hurts developers" argument here.

Moreover, if 1/3 of desktop US traffic is of nominal value in your opinion, I think possibly you're jaded.

Yes, I really don't like that they're dipping their toes into this crap. I like that it means we might get a better Repa or whatever but still.
60t of lead, on the other hand, will go for a mere 120k USD, at about double the volume. Not sure if the effect will be the same (it certainly sounds like a good way to poison vast swathes of land).
Care to explain more about the Valve or Yammer references? (Genuinely curious).
It's worth noting that under Satya (in my org, Cloud and Enterprise) we open sourced ASP.NET, use 50+ OSS libraries in Visual Studio, have all the Azure cloud SDKs on GitHub, and on and on. We made Portable Libraries happen and now share code between iOS, Android, and Windows. This is not your grandfather's MSFT, and now the dude who helped us (Azure) change things in a fundamentally non-MSFT and totally awesome way is in charge. I'm stoked - big things coming, I think.

Disclaimer: I work in Azure.

Highly discourage using multipool and ilk if you care at all about the coins you are mining. The hash-n-dash behavior of these pools overwhelm a chain with hash power causing difficult adjustments upwards, then disappear as quickly as the come leaving the network high and dry with hours or days between blocks. Coins have been destroyed this way.

Heck, even if you don't care about the underlying coins, it's simply not as profitable (because you decrease the value of the coins you mine before you even have a chance to sell them).
> And you can read about "deferred" here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8449058/what-does-the-de...

Thanks for the link; I'm curious as to the downsides however (the article linked in the article doesn't fully cover them), and a Google search doesn't yield anything concrete (i.e. deferred on vs. off).
They take it all very seriously!

In January 2004 I took my mum to Disneyland Paris.

Someone had accidentally left their luggage next to the belts below the customs booths.

The airport was shut down and cleared on that level, whilst a brave man with a machete hacked carefully at the bag to discover sausages.
Well, really, Java has a tendency to take these things to an extreme. Like the author of that post I like that C++ gives you a choice.

Of course, usually there's an implicit subject (receiver): this or self. In a language like ruby, which is very very object oriented, and has a similar thing where you always have a receiver to any function call, every instance has a certain set of stuff (the Kernel module) mixed into it that allows for general tasks to be treated as an implicit receiver. It works pretty well for solving this problem on the other side.
Thank you! Its just two hours ago I saw my video but I lost it! Could be cos I delete one picture that appears in my video? :(
I personally feel that most people don't recognize the upward trajectory Microsoft currently appears to be on. They talk about needing a 'revolutionary leader', but I think much of that revolution is already in place.

As I mentioned not long ago, I wanted to buy a Surface 2 Pro, but they're sold out everywhere, people have been unable to buy type-covers, also sold out. Phone sales are growing considerably. Azure is praised as a great service (though I'm yet to try it).

Microsoft has never been the 'spin on a dime and lead the industry' type of company, they make many small bets and iterate until they win. They quietly lead with things like Windows Tablet, and Windows Mobile. They lost those markets to a surging Apple, and then Google. But the market is far from lost, and it appears Microsoft is just now gaining steam.

I had never heard of Satya Nadella before today, but watching the intro video of him, I appreciate his somewhat quiet demeanour and understated excitability. In fact, he reminds me a lot of Bill Gates, and lets us leave behind the boisterous attitude of Steve Ballmer.
For me, when it comes to really drastic solutions like running bare metal or building a custom OS then if you have to ask if you should then you shouldn't. But to echo the others, it depends on what you are doing.

I hope I don't come off as a creeper because I was very curious on what you are working on and dug through your comments. Is it this BareMetalOS project?
Look on the bright side. It's a router made by Asus that has its gates wide open. It could have been Asusgateisopengate.
nice. The only thing that bother me is that one can feel a huge delay between a click and the actual result of the click on the screen.It is something I feel when using any angular app.

Might be a problem for a LOB that people might use everyday. maybe using read-only bind directives would make apps more responsive.
Struck me as an interesting idea.

How would you deal with relationships that go bad? Someone you once trusted with editorial rights to your wiki now thinks you are the devil incarnate?
99% of the time I just want XHR, so this change added an extra click every time I open dev tools to look at the Network panel (also this step can be laggy if you're in development and you have hundreds of separate requests for your scripts/stylesheets, which I never care about). So I could actually be in favour of hiding away the filters if I could just set a default filter? Or if it just remembered my last selection?
If you fired a missile to destroy a satellite, it would be way to obvious, especially with all the debris that it would produce. If you fired up a space vehicle then have it grab a satellite a couple months later, nobody would be the wiser.
You would call that successfully? The developers have no idea what they're doing. They copied bitcoins code, but didn't realize that they made a 500 million doge transaction limit, so they gave their users a short period of time to update their clients. They ended up with a fork after someone made a 500 million doge tx which could have allowed many many doublespends. Doge will not be able to scale up to real economic activity unless they get a real dev team.

> You would call that successfully?

There was a problem, and now it's not a problem. Seems like a success to me.

> The developers have no idea what they're doing.

Luckily, that doesn't actually matter. Frankly, if they knew what they were doing, Dogecoin probably wouldn't even exist in the first place.

> Doge will not be able to scale up to real economic activity unless they get a real dev team.

Last I checked, DOGE had a higher total transaction volume than all other cryptocurrencies put together, sooooooooo
The first search needn't be illegal. An example:

NSA surveillance of a smuggler in Mexico produces the name of Joe Schmoe in El Paso (for concreteness let's say the intercept is "Joe Schmoe will distribute our cocaine, as always"). The DEA gets tipped, Joe Schmoe's name goes up on a tack board and he's put under surveillance. A case may be built from there using classical police methods.
You understand that these moves came about because stuff like it actually happened in real life?

The film Erin Brockovich is one example.

The word on the street in the Haskell community is that what you say is definitely true in many places, but Haskell makes inroads by being pretty fast if not C fast, grabbing Excel interaction [1], and building banking-related DSLs [2]. The typical story is that the Haskell shop builds advanced tools atop Excel, analysts get excited and want more, then the Haskell shop teaches them just enough Haskell to run a pricing DSL. Static types make it so that relatively untrained programmers can still manipulate the DSL adroitly.

All that to say not that Haskell is going to beat Java/C++ in any visible time frame but instead to compare its use favorably with something like Python.

PhotoTex is the original peel and stick, polyester fabric, adhesive material that can be installed on virtually any flat surface (indoor and out) in any weather condition and then removed and reused many times over.
For what it's worth, I see no ads in the search right now, and a Wikipedia blurb saying

"Tyrone B. Hayes is an American biologist at University of California, Berkeley. He is known for his research demonstrating that the herbicide atrazine is a potent endocrine disruptor that demasculinizes and feminizes frogs."

A slight aside: "People also search for" contains Steven Milloy. His name autocompletes to "steven milloy is an idiot".
That's an absurd argument. You are saying Kayak.com is competing directly against kayak (boat) retailers on Google because they have the same name. I'm sorry but that "competing" argument is pure speculation, borderline bs.
Snowplow 0.9.0 released with beta Amazon Kinesis support
My word that looks like a lot of fun to put together.
That's interesting but I'm not sure launch date should be the date that determines when it's fair for you to have a name. FiftyThree's Paper is no doubt the better one (I was at WWDC and applauded them when they won their ADA), but some apps take a very long time to build. While you're building your masterpiece, some bozo could start and finish a lesser app and use your name before you have a chance to do anything about it.
Imagine how angry Dunder Mifflin must be. When do we get to hear their version: "Paper, from Dunder Mifflin"
Almond+ is probably worth looking at. It isn't fully open-source (AFAIK), but OpenWRT is used for the underpinnings, and is fully available.

The beta units are just now shipping, and I would expect full production to be underway within a few months.

I suppose there are still routes to visibility if you can develop and release tools to support testing and building. There is probably room to blog too. But you probably need to work quite hard on visibility, the natural state is the invisible.

What source of information in life isn't like this? You have to trust the news, the history books, everything else. You make a fair point, but you can't simply just say the two studies can both be questioned because of the manner they are attacked.

You don't judge the the paper based on how it's being discredited. You try your best to judge the paper on it's own merits. If you lack the knowledge/information to do so, then you obviously have to live with the fact that your opinion on the matter may not necessarily reflect what is true. It's a tradeoff many of us make considering we can't be experts in everything. If it's something you truly believe in and want a better opinion on...then you have to spend time on doing research into it.
Great open source C++ toolkit for creative coding

I think you put too much faith in the fables that surround what the chrome security model does and does not do.

In short, no, they wouldn't.
I don't really have the issue with comfort as described here, but it does suck that the main source of mass content consumption (the bottom carousel) is mostly blocked by the natural place your thumb would be. Viewing content in full-screen is too slow for something like facebook, of which many of the posts you don't care much about.
I still really enjoy the comments on that article. The visceral, knee-jerk hatred you managed to engender for pointing out pretty obvious stuff was amazing.
Why would they go through this if there were good US candidates available?

You have to include price. Otherwise, the statement doesn't really mean much.

I understand that employers must pay the prevailing wage, but a "shortage" probably indicates that the prevailing wage is too low. It's also easy to pay the "prevailing wage" for a job title that is actually lower than what you're hiring for (the oversight on this sort of thing is pretty weak).

There are also other compelling reasons. A key developer actually has a lot of power over an employer at a certain point in product development. If they walk, they can do a tremendous amount of damage. So employers may vastly prefer a situation where an employee is dependent on them for a visa or green card sponsorship. H1Bs can jump ship, but it's harder than it is for full citizens or permanent residents who can change jobs freely. While it isn't total control over the employee's freedom, it does give the employer considerable power, and they take some comfort in that.

So.. why would a company pay a small amount in legal fees to hire a worker who can be paid considerably less than a permanent resident would be paid, and who will have a harder time leaving the company for a different job? That's not hard to understand at all.
