It's surprisingly easy to make it a long time without needing to read from a file. If you're writing web apps, you almost never read directly from a file; all of the input comes from a database or HTTP requests.
Sad because you prefer that the government somehow choose to fund this worthwhile project? Because you don't trust the public to support worthwhile projects?

You only need to worry about this if you're doing 100k+ LIST requests. For me, turning off validate would save 0.2%.
>a heads-up about something that is going to happen, so that people have a chance to respond adequately.

Using the passive voice here doesn't change the fact that the "something that is going to happen" is something that Google is going to do.

"You should give me your wallet or something is going to happen to you. Just a heads-up."

They do not want to and don't believe the state has the power to compel them to. What more reason should they need?

>Since this is partially cryptographic software and also software that can be used to control a user's machine, it seems to me imperative for anyone who wants to give up control of their CPU cycles to know precisely how they're being used, or to trust the pool of smart cows who can study it for us.

Sorry to hear that - we've done testing on Firefox/Safari and haven't gotten that, though definitely want to fix it up... Good luck getting into it later, and if you could help us debug just shoot me an email nathan@codewars.com. Thanks!
I was talking about the anguish of simply having an impact, as I judged that to be what my parent was really thinking about. Of killing an animal for food, or even a plant. Of cutting down a tree to build a house, or trapping and killing a rat in that house. Of lumbering forests, because it's not right, not fair to the forest and its inhabitants (not because it's unsustainable)

It doesn't matter if it's sustainable or not, that does not fix this question. What does sustainability matter to the cow you just ate? To the tree you just felled? Why do you get to live, while the plant/animal must die?

It's a question I struggled with for a while in the past.

WORKS. Awesome suggestion and hack.
Species extinction speaks to fundamental underlying changes to the ecosystems in which those species live.

Yes, telegenic megafauna capture hearts, but really, as apex predators or other apex species, they're the canaries in the coal mine, so to speak (and my isn't that an unsustainable metaphor...). But the waste being laid to oceans: 80% depletion of fish stocks, mass strandings of numerous cetaceans, algae and jellyfish blooms, starfish wasting diseases, and the sudden disappearances of birds, seals, and sea lions, all suggest something is going very, very wrong.

And those systems are crucial for life on Earth -- human and otherwise.
So I am traveling to 2 continents in the next month (Including the US). Most likely a minimum of 3 cities.

I have always wanted to use FlightFox but what is holding me back is the uncertainty of what I will get AFTER I have committed to pay.

What happens if I want to change my flight? Cancel? With the existing travel agent model, I am certain stuff like this will be taken care of.

When is the relationship over after the purchase or after the journey.

PS: Like Brett said, your pricing is really confusing. Is

London ---> New York international or Multi city?

How about,

London---> New York ----> San Francisco ----> Accra International or Multi City or both?

Do i pay different prices?

I plan to book my flight over the next few days. I am really tempted to prove I am an early adopter :)

That's true, but on the other hand you get a much bigger nutritional boost out of eating the beef - it's rich in protein and other things that we need to live, which can't simply be replaced with more carbs. I'm not a big consumer of beef and I agree with your general point, but it's not the 1:1 equivalence which would mean 7/8ths of the beef someone consumes is a waste.

Yeah, it's not quite that easy. With the "common carrier" classification comes a lot of other regulatory issues.
Disclaimer: I was a Flightfox expert. It was one of the best computer games I ever played and it occasionally paid me to play. (In a similar vein, Drupal development is the best MMO I could imagine -- the graphics surely leaves something to be desired but the social aspect is literally life changing and the quests keep you in flow.)

I am not sure whether flight search in a crowdsource format could or should arise again but Flightfox made the (deliberate?) blunder of revealing all expert email addresses to the other experts in an email announcing big changes coming on January 14. If this would be a bigger industry, that'd been quite some news... I know at least one person who is thinking on continuing -- thanks Flightfox for keeping the community alive.
The irony is not lost on us :-) We are a small team actively building this site. We will be completely open as soon as possible.

"whose merchant partners typically take a week to get stuff to me"

Which is a week faster than Amazon's normal shipping rate. I think Amazon has purposefully made their shipping slower to get more people to sign up for Prime.

But I can't make myself sign up to their anticompetitive BS.

Better to have it recorded instead of nothing. Action seems better than inaction in this case.
Realistically, most people aren't typing in domains most of the time, with search and social media being so common, but for that 1% of the time that someone types in somecoolapp.com when you only have somecoolapp.me, you could be losing out potential customers to a competitor, or have someone damaging your brand, or just inconveniencing and confusing customers (see http://nissan.com/).
>Even in comparison today, his school's graduation rate is 63% and is ranked 482nd out of 489 districts by state assessment scores, while my school has a graduation rate of 94% and ranks in the top 5%.

I am curious if you believe that this is because the schools was a bad school (under-funded, bad teachers and administrators), or because the parents of the kids that attended there were generally lower than average quality parents? (on drugs, welfare baby mommas, abusive, spend all their free time watching TV and not disciplining or spending any time with their children, non loving, single parent with 3 jobs to make ends meat, ETC.)

Flappy Bird – True Sad STORY
I remember seeing this at a repertory theatre about 15 years ago and having my mind blown. Yes Baraka and Samsara are both beautiful but IMO they lack the cohesiveness of Koyaanisqatsi, especially considering the interplay of music + images.

I echo the others who say that watching this with ads is a terrible idea. It completely kills the flow of it. I can't think of a worse movie to have interrupted by ads.

If you can, watch it any other way.
This has been my experience as well. Their order chain seems nowhere near as streamlined as Amazon's, and their Customer Service / Return chain has been dismal for me. They aren't anywhere near a competitor to Amazon in my experience, marketplace or no.

Something many people aren't realizing is that while Amazon is now including state tax most places, Newegg isn't in many places. With the use of this kind of shipping discount, a lot of the things Newegg stocks are going to be noticeably cheaper even if the actual price of the item itself is the same.
Responding substantively to the subpoena opens yourself up to needless legal jeopardy. They request "all past versions" and you squashed some commits at some point? Maybe that's perjury if the attorney general doesn't like you.

Amazon throttled their free shipping at a certain point after launching prime. Newegg will do it, too. There was a point when I reliably got Amazon packages fast with free shipping, and now I reliably don't.

The funny thing is, the shipping is all done through the same channels and I guess there's not really a way to slow it down selectively, so the way they do it is sit on free-shipping orders for a few days before shipping. They used to always ship same day or next day, now several days go by at the least before the shipping starts.
Very cool!

I notice that some time words (noon, afternoon, morning) don't work, nor does military-style time.

Links to things like localhost on some path work, but common www.whatever.com or whatever.com don't.

Adding a bunch of profanity in all caps didn't seem to trigger the emotion thingy at all.

Cheers!

EDIT:

Can you set the www subdomain to redirect to your main? Right now it just bombs out. :(
do you know of any online resources where i can read more about this yacht talk? i scuba dive quite a bit, and as a human, this is relevant to my interests.
Or those prime packages simply get bumped up in the queue to be before other orders that were already placed because they need to be to get out as fast as they do. And how is Prime anticompetitive?
There was a really funny story about a vendor of some equipment at one of Google's new data centers trying to convince Google that it had to have access to the data center network so that it could monitor its doo-dads. As I recall the "solution" was some plenum rated CAT5 that went out of the roof and attached to a DSL line on a pole at the corner of the property.
I lot of people violate PayPal terms of service and then they whine about it. I've been using PayPal as a merchant since 2000, I've been getting nice emails with advance notices when policies change. I wish others had such system in place as well!

While Amazon is great overall, in many specific areas they also seem random like a flea market.
What's being threatened is that something will be shipped and frozen without review, input, or comment, if comment isn't made immediately - not that something is going to be shipped.
That's good news, but I'm still forming my opinion about Newegg. I've only ordered three times from them, but allow me this comparison:

I never received a product from Amazon that didn't match its description. That doesn't mean these don't exist.

I recently received an item from Newegg that didn't match the description. The page has since been removed and it was changed in Google Cache too. It was a 1000W PSU which was supposed to have 8x6+2 PCI-E connectors, but it really only has 6.

Also, upon checkout Newegg informed me that I could spare the 17$ of express shipping since they could deliver the goods in the same time with standard shipping. The delivery took 9 days. This never happens on Amazon.
The President is - he owns bitcoins, duh. He's either doing this for personal benefits or he's just a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I think what the state of New Jersey is worried about is either that the authors are being dishonest about the informed nature of the consent, or are viewing this as producing a tool that is too easy to exploit (whatever that means).

Personally, I think that's pretty absurd, but I can understand how a non-technical attorney reading about a MIT student developing something that lets websites mine bitcoins on consumer computers might get the wrong idea. As usual, the hard-headed nature of american prosecutors does us all a disservice.

Edit: rayiner points out that no one is being prosecuted, so I should probably rein in my rhetoric about prosecutors. Still seems like an extreme reaction.
Sure, that makes sense. Wow, I didn't know it was cystic fibrosis.

I like your comment about the medical care that you two are "supposed to require." :)
Any other notable perks?
Why do you think responding to "you are making a bunch of uninformed assumptions" with more uninformed assumptions is productive? Protip: some of us saw this site when it was made 2 years ago. Some of us are even aware of the context of 37signals founders being abusive on twitter that the site was created in response to. That does not mean we are all the people who made the site.
I believe a person that knows a thing or two about ads could turn how YouTube uses them into something less... awful. Let's see.
Funny how I said to pydanny (on Reddit) a couple days ago that i'd buy the new Two Scoops as soon as it came out. Little did I know that it would not be a digital release.

In the conversation, pydanny did mention that nearly everything in Two Scoops 1.5 should apply to 1.6, and it does (as I went through the book with a fresh 1.6 install). So for those of you contemplating the books for current use, I'd say, go ahead!

You can definitely count me out for this new version of Two Scoops, I have no need for a print copy of any programming book. I just recycled some old PHP and Javascript books I had laying around for years unused. It seems useless to me that in 2014 we'd forgo printing this kind of book when the coding and reading/learning are happening on the same screen.

So thanks pydanny for Two Scoops, but I've unsubscribed from your mailing lists and will be opting out of this release.
Guy said "(or the other one)".

Soundhound was the likely candidate.
You're right. I read the hard up comment wrong repeatedly somehow.

When people say $1500 though they are generally just referring to the ship itself not the pilot and modules. $1500 has been pretty standard price for a long time though you're also correct that now it's tilted towards $2K as the price of some materials has gone up quite a bit over the past year.
So, Lisp?
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply the insults would come from you. Rather, I was expecting I would get the typical "thinking libertarian is an oxymoron" insult that I see everywhere these days from a random commenter. Apologies for making an ambiguous statement.

Agree that labels aren't always the most helpful, but absent a better system, seeking ideas and kinship with those of similar political beliefs is still a good thing overall, IMHO.

Yes yes, done is better than perfect.

However, it helps tremendously for imperfect code to exist in a disciplined higher-level organization. In particular for OOP, this means interface and package/assembly responsibilities should be clearly-defined and leak-free. To me, this is the minimum ideal--it may never be definitively achieved, but one should aim for no less. Then, all manner of code abominations can be hidden and compartmentalized. Various components can be improved and cleaned at will, without rippling out destructively throughout the codebase.

This means some shortcuts are not allowed, and time to delivery will increase slightly. But those are the shortcuts that create spaghetti-code and tend by far to incur the greatest debt. So I see this simple minimum bound as a good 80/20 tradeoff for maintainability.

I listen to all podcasts at 2x speed to the point where I can't even listen to them at 1x anymore because the voices sound unnatural. People talk about half as fast as people read so 2x just normalizes to a comfortable reading speed.

I watch basically all youtube videos at 2x as well (with the html5 player) to the point where I'll actually shut a video off if the only thing offered is the old flash player (and ditto applies to vimeo vids).

However, I've never had enjoyed scripted tv shows at 2x speed, I'll usually dial it back to 1.5x to watch. It's not in an effort to save time, it's that I genuinely find aural mediums better when sped up.

I received an item from amazon that didn't match the description. It was supposed to be a spray bottle of mineral oil to kill plant mites. When it came it was just the oil, but not in the spray bottle. I emailed amazon to let them know and said I didn't want to return the produce since I had a spare spray bottle; I just wanted them to correct their catalogue. The csr thanked me, said he or she would contact their catalogue team, and (unprompted) refunded 1/2 the purchase amount without my asking.

This is part of the reason I made 35 purchases last year from amazon.

A Note From The Programmers (1988, Double Dragon, C64)
I'm not discounting your experience -- by all means, let it inform your future purchases -- but as someone who's been happily ordering from NewEgg for over a decade, suggesting your single bad NewEgg purchase could possibly be representative and/or forming a judgment based on that is... hard to swallow.

You got a raw deal. Once. It's good to share, but it'd be far more useful to know what the product was or who fulfilled it. If it was NewEgg, that'd be good to know, too (I don't know if they sell things that other companies fulfill; it's become so common that I assume it's happening everywhere) but what little you've provided says not nearly enough to draw a conclusion.
I wonder if she had to create a Google+ account in order to hold the position.
Giving everyone a guaranteed connection is a theoretical networking problem. The brute force solution as you've mentioned, is a crossbar switch, which is implemented in O(n^2).

However, theoretical networking problems like this have been solved many years ago. The Clos Network can provide full duplex links at significantly better big-O

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clos_network

I don't fully remember the details, but I believe you grow at approximately N*log(n). The problem is that the original Clos paper was published before big-O notation was invented... and that this was just "one other homework problem" that a professor gave to me about 5 years ago when I was in college.

So my memory is fuzzy, and the math is undocumented on the internet :-(

The internet is built on top of unreliable datagrams, which means the connectivity problem is even simpler. It satisfies the conditions of a Rearrangeably nonblocking Clos network. So the Big-O is even smaller than the above networking problem.

Clos wrote his paper specifically for phone connections. You cannot disconnect people for no reason while they're in the middle of a conversation. However, unreliable IP packets can be disconnected and rearranged, allowing you to use a cheaper form of the Clos network.

Either way, (like my professor from half a decade ago...), I'm going to leave the asymptotic complexity of "Strict Clos networks" and "Rearrangeably nonblocking CLOS networks" as an exercise up to the reader.

Mostly because I don't remember the solution... As a hint, replace the crossbar switches (in the wikipedia page) with a recursive Clos network and solve for the Recurrence relation. Use a 2x2 crossbar as the base case.
