EasyGimbal looks fine but pretty expensive; the Tarot, which is designed for quadcopters, can be fitted on pretty much anything, is of super high build quality and costs around $200:

http://www.helipal.com/tarot-t-2d-brushless-gimbal-for-gopro...

It's only 2D whereas the EasyGimbal is 3D but I don't think pan stabilization is much useful, except maybe when filming with the camera in hand. When attached to something (a bike, a motorbike, etc.) 2D stab is more than enough.
How about chars in zip codes (afaik GB has chars in zip codes)?

Input validation is usually a UX fail because there will be for sure one thing you miss (traditional example: email address validation). Zip codes I'd rather don't check at all or check against a list of valid zip codes if really necessary.

On Mac OS X I use it to play the original Baldur's Gate and might use it to play Baldur's Gate 2 as well.

I think it's a great solution for playing old games or games that were never released for Mac OS in the first place. I used to play League of Legends using Wine until Riot released a native Mac OS X version.

OS X Wine skins for many games can be found at sites like Paul The Tall: http://paulthetall.com
Thanks for your long reply. I think we are mostly in agreement. It seems like you are more cynical me, and I get the impression that you probably have less experience interacting with "the bottom percentile" (it's really the bottom 10-percentile) than me. I don't think this is surprising if you are truly better than 95% of all developers you work with - this places you in the elite of an elite group, and there is a very long way down to those who e.g. made a stupid decision and graduated with the wrong degree, or have some benign (mental or physical) health condition that leaves them unable to sustainably work more than 30 hours a week. Not to mention everyone who grow up in harsher social conditions.

But these people are real, most of them are still within the "normal" and their problems are more complex than missing interpersonal skills. I would not want to live in a world that treats "under-performing" (implication: "performing" is our raison d'être) people as second-rate citizens.

But again, our views on the economics of it could probably be reconciled even if our perspectives are different.

Gulp.js is awfully similar to James.js, coincidence?
I think by now most of you are familiar with Gulp.js, the new and shiny JavaScript task runner on the block, but I just came across another build tool that’s surprisingly similar called James.js which has been around for longer then Gulp.

What’s the story behind James.js and why didn’t it get the attention that Gulp got?

You currently offer Gitlab cloud for free : if you could have a flat storage-based fee model, and throw in some backups, that could be a great way to monetize.

alternatively, would love it if you could partner with one of the smaller git providers - like RepositoryHosting or XP-Dev.

GIMP has a content aware fill, Gimp Synthesiser AFAIR
Krita bogged down when I tried using a 12,000x12,000 canvas. It also took several minutes just to show the canvas. MyPaint handles frames several times larger with no slowdown on the same hardware. Krita has a better interface overall, but I like to work big.
In all the cases I'm aware of where courts have considered code calling into other code, they have found that this does not make the caller a derivative work of the callee.

Here's a good quick and dirty test. If I write code that interfaces to your code, and I do this without looking at anything of yours other than things that are not copyrighted (such as your publicly documented interfaces), then my code cannot be a derivative work of your code. If I want to distribute my code (in source or binary), and I'm not distributing your code with it, then I don't have any reason to care what license your code is using.

Now, if I've going to take my code, and your code, and compile and link them together and distribute the result, then (1) I've actually copied your code into something I'm distributing, and (2) I'm distributing your code. In this case, your license is very relevant. This is the kind of situation the FSF was mostly thinking of when they wrote most of that FAQ. I think they were caught off guard by the explosive rise of the so-called scripting languages, which do away with the whole linking things together into a package to distribute thing.

This is very good for free software. If calling into code (directly or indirectly) made the caller a derivative work of the callee, then it would be a copyright violation to make and distribute apps for jailbroken iPhones. These apps call into Apple's system software, and so would be derivative works and require Apple's permission to distribute, and Apple has not given that permission. It would be similar for desktop operating systems--application writers would need permission from the OS copyright owner to make applications that run on that OS.

Capistrano is distributed in source form (and as far as I can see that is the only form in which it is distributed). Looking at the source, I don't see them including anything copyrighted from SSHKit. I'm not a Ruby guy, so maybe I missed some tricky Ruby thing that would make it non-obvious. Any Ruby users want to take a look?
There's a lot of "misinformation" in this post. I wouldn't recommend three of the four "tools" mentioned and would recommend Tor only after ensuring that the user has a clear understanding of its strengths and weaknesses.

Yes the GoPro has stabilization, but it can result in undesirable footage when shaking heavily under bright light (search for "jello effect").

One way to correct the jello effect is to add ND filters before the lens to reduce the amount of light and therefore slow the shutter (since you can't otherwise control the aperture). There are filter holders that can be screwed on top of the box, or attached directly to the lens when the GoPro isn't in its box.

The other way is to re-stablilize in post-processing; results can be good to very good depending on the source footage. Heavy shaking and big jello can't really be corrected, but slow shake can be made to disappear completely.

This was shot with a Tarot gimbal attached to a bike, and no software stabilization:

> The strength of Photoshop is in its automation, ability to integrate with all kinds of things, ability to open a hundred different formats by default, plugins, ....

This, as far as I can see, sums up Gimp very well. With its open scripting and plugin system (Python) which not only allows anyone to write simple automation scripts, but allows people like me to find importers, exporters, filetype support, scripts and plugins for free, for about anyhting thinkable.

How does Photoshop compare to the Gimp in these areas? I am aware of the differences in usability, obviously. But purely on technical grounds: is the automatability and extensability of the Gimp comparable to that of Photoshop?

Is the actual medical care so much more expensive in the US than in Europe? I'm not talking about the insurance system or anything like that, I'm talking about the actual hospitalization cost.

My twins spent six weeks in NICU in a large hospital and then three more in a smaller regional hospital. The actual hospitalization cost for the NICU stay was about €25k each. Granted, there were no complications, but I can't imagine how even with multiple surgeries how you can add that up to a million dollars.

It is clearly a nitch in the market place but is it large enough to sustain and grow in a publicly traded company? That is the question.

Certainly! We're talking about people who are very interested in expensive hobbies (like skiing, snowboarding, motorbiking), these people are very used to spending a lot of money on their hobby. Combine that with the innate human desire to want to record/photo/share our lives, and the market for "allowing people to record their expensive hobbies" is very lucrative.
Not just the compounding, but also the spreading of risk, if I understand well. Which is the point with any kind of conservative pension plan.

Oh yeah turn off wifi. I have a Drift Innovation Ghost, and have the on board screen. I get about 4 hour of full time recording out of mine.

Actually GoPro (& related action cameras) customers are probably very interested in expensive sports/hobbies. Many motorcyclists have one, and if you're interested in that you'll be spending a lot of money on the bike, the equipement, servicing, insurance, etc. So what's €300 for a camera?
> Let the religious make the journey to science, with steps of any size they choose.

I wrote a comment earlier where this attitude is commonplace. that seems to take an approach of "let them figure it out" - while abdicating any responsibility for helping them do so. That approach exemplifies the attitude of "amateurs get angry, professional educate"[1]. I think you can argue that Nye was the consummate professional in that regard in that he's willing to engage a discussion in order to educate people & explain the importance of science & the need for proper education.

I do, however want what Etcd provides.

> Input validation is usually a UX fail

I agree in general. I think it was just a contrived example though in interest of discussing security/validation. Their example was in context of US users (and US zip-codes don't deviate from the pattern, but yes you could go one step further and reference the zip-code against the state and address using an API).

Also, specifically on regex, I'd imagine \d is being used in places where validation against unicode would be buggy (whether in form validation or elsewhere). I think Java and JavaScript default to ASCII only though.
Native version feels better.
Paperclip's solution still looks wrong to me. The require 'a' validation - of content type or filename. However, the content type comes from the browser - it's parsed from the headers with rack - and is completely under the attacker's control. It only helps you if you are going to serve back the file with the user-supplied mime type.

Homakov's attack relied on the file being served up with the mime type associated with the file extension, so the attacker's supplied mime type is only used to validate the file.

Even if you use the user's mime type to serve back the file, there's issues with the kind of validation paperclip does-they treat the file name and mime types as independent things. You validate to a white list of one, and separately to a white list of the other. Consider the use case of someone writing gmail. They want to allow a wide variety of file uploads; the paperclip validation does nothing because all mime types and extensions are allowed. However, it is combinations of things that are the problem; a thing uploaded as image/jpeg should have extensions of jpg or jpeg, not html; a text/html should have extension html not jpg.
Ridiculously misleading headline.

No, this is not what the court has said. In fact they pretty much explicitly said the opposite, i.e., in principle they are not liable.

The court has said that a supplier that clearly knows that it is supplying services to an illegal operation should stop supplying those services.

There's nothing wrong with that in principle, it is applied to all kinds of things. The problem comes when it is applied to alleged copyright infringement, and it becomes even more problematic when it's indirect, like with torrent indexing sites.

That is something that is very difficult to ascertain, and it should not be left up to ISP's, registrars, telco's and alike to decide whether or not copyright infringement is going on.

>A domain name registrar can be held liable for the copyright infringements of a website it registered if it is obvious the domain is used for infringements and the registrar does nothing to prevent it, the Regional Court of Saarbrücken in Germany has ruled. //

The court is going to have to define what "obvious use of a domain for copyright infringement" means in order for companies to make such a decision.

For example a torrent tracker isn't copyright infringing, it may be considered in court to be a contributory infringement [? don't know German caselaw on this?] but that's a non-obvious call for a company to make without the benefit of expert advisers.

Trackers point to [not exclusively] infringing material, like Google/Bing point to infringing material.

Indeed it may be impossible for a tracker host to establish the legality of any particular torrent without court powers to seize evidence and call witnesses and such.

You know what is a better idea for stopping attackers rather than molesting random people at the airport? Not having terrorism as a foreign policy. Like Noam Chomsky says, the best way to stop terrorism domestically is not to carry acts of terrorism out all over the world.
Is it though? With this technique you would just need to grep a password dump for permutations of the service name. For the ones you find there is a good chance that the scheme is used on other sites. So now you can try the big sites with a high probability that the login works.

With password re-use you would need to guess if they re-use it. With this you know.
And the regex to validate this is a monster, even noting that this still allows bad input:

There are some caveats to comparing the computing power of the brain to computers. Computers have vastly more serial processing power than the brain. Transistors are thousands to millions of times faster than neurons. Signals propagate through the brain relatively slowly (only about 200 times per second.) For problems that can be done iteratively, computers are vastly superior.

Second computers are intentionally designed to be general purpose and they sacrifice a lot of potential speed to do this. If you were to build some algorithms into the hardware they would get vastly more performance (eg bitcoin mining), but that's extremely expensive. However being general purpose has a lot of advantages. Computers will always be faster at many things than neurons.
