Good point there, i'll look into limiting the eval().

I would hope that people won't give access to everyone to the dashboard, wasn't really build for that, or at least that wasn't my initial idea.
I know this is a hearsay but at the height of the apple/samsung law suit I was following a story and one of the commenters claimed Apple's chip R&D was being done in a borrowed facility at a Samsung owned chip factory in Austin, TX.
Intrinsity based in Austin had been doing work with samsung and since Intrinsity was bought out by Apple, I think there's some chance it's true.
No way I can verify if it's true it'd be pretty funny...
How about spending your entire life never feeling happy and "knowing" that it will never change.

You simply don't understand the mind of the depressed, so what you would do or wouldn't do doesn't matter in this discussion.
It's natural to ask: "Of all R&D expenditures, what percentage came from each year?"
It all depends on your outcome.

Also, I didn't know who I was conversing with. Checked out your profile, and am humbled.
To be fair, "just" rarely adds any value.

"That's just ludicrous." vs "That's ludicrous."

Reads pretty much the same.
It could be moved to straight html and css, but i wanted to play with Django, and yes it could be smaller :).
Silly me, you are right. I forgot about it.
you have to get used to get go's backwards type declaration. This is defining a method on h which is a byteHandler struct called serve which takes a http.ResponseWriter and Request and returns nothing.

This is from the http.Handler interface, so defining this method causes byteHandler to conform to the http.Handler interface.

Crowdfunding's Epic Growth [Infographic]
What I have in mind here is the kind of social anonymity discussed in the article, not the more rigorous kind of anonymity offered by Tor.

On the technical side, I supposed you'd have a central recipient of $anycoin on the BBS server that would authorize a user to post when it received a given amount of $anycoin from that user. Other posters could possibly exploit this by trying to correlate the time on someone's posts with the transactions on the blockchain to find out what "wallet"/address is behind the posts. Perhaps this could be mitigated by the server introducing noise to the displayed time. I'm not sure how important this is to anonymity of the non-technical kind (one where you could subpoena the access logs from the website the discussion takes place on and where people routinely click on links).
No, you're not crazy. Netscape Navigator was not free as such, but if I recall correctly, was free for individual users, schools, non-commercial entities, etc. (Am I mis-remembering this? The Wikipedia page doesn't have much detail.)
I'd certainly say that it is, it certainly meets the dynamic binding pre requisite. And small talk certainly does, so why does Objective-C not qualify?
> I do think that the educational system in the US by and large poorly serves gifted children

I was gifted. I ran through years, absent-mindedly attending courses, handwaving tests and scoring incredible marks. The best thing that happened to me is getting into prépa[0]. They make you hit the wall on purpose. The jump from the previous years is purposely high. The only way to get through it is to snap yourself out of your gift/boredom/ego vicious circle and start to learn to discipline yourself. Only by surrendering your gift and unlearning what you know can you build a solid foundation and make your talent truly shine.

Wait does this mean bookmarklets will fail in those browsers from now on?
you're a moron.
Like it. Making text H1 or H2, it's impossible to make it normal text after. Is that a bug?
Yes probably.

Someone has to say it though and it's only an adaptation of the motivation and procedure of declaring war.

It's exactly the same conversation people have before they invade a country so to be taken up on this would be hypocritical.

I have no intention of acting or inciting myself, as I'm quite comfortable, physically broken, a coward. Plus I rather would like to play with my new computer before the world falls down around me :)
I very rarely see a "hey I made this!" post here that doesn't include one or more comments along the lines of "this already exists!". I don't mind these sorts of comments when they tell me something I didn't know - "you can achieve something similar by doing coodle with well-known tool doodle!", "there is somewhat-obscure tool foodle that does exactly this!" - there are some comments like that in this thread. What I dislike is when these sorts of comments are along the lines of, "you should have just done the thing that you made the tool to avoid having to do!". It is just dismissal and leaves nobody the wiser.

It seems delusional to think that this sort of comment is somehow a good learning experience for a library author. Everyone knows that you shouldn't reinvent the wheel, but there are reasonable disagreements on what exactly that means.
And now you have evidence for how much tech's corporate overlords really care about the surveillance programs.

Complexity. Having two copies of the data means more dev time, more resources required to shift the data around, etc. Having just 1 data store that can also handle all your searching is like the holy grail. As you say, not sure if Solr/ES/Lucene are there yet - but they're definitely very very close. There is no theoretical barrier either - it just comes down to closing bugs, and the ES/Lucene team are very good at closing bugs.

EDIT: I don't think MongoDB is there yet either. There are definite benefits and drawbacks between Postgres and ES, tipping heavily towards Postgres for structured heavy write data. But for ES and MongoDB? I think MongoDB falls a bit short there.

I rather heard about DNS amplification attacks than NTP amplification recently.
Might not matter, but they do not follow the geojson spec for spatial storage.
I went to and live near NYU and not much time passes between each attempted undergrad suicide. I experienced the same thing among soldiers (particularly those in basic training and AIT) who would harm themselves.

The general dismissive attitude of higher-ups and admins is that pill overdosing is attention-seeking behavior and that things like kids jumping off high locations is communicable behavior. So that's what suicide prevention folks are up against in terms of enlisting help from those on campus.

I would guess if this is a significant concern to you then you'll want to make sure the college has an active, directed, intentional position for a suicide prevention specialist or group whose sole responsibility is identifying, preventing, and treating potential suicide cases.

Because unfortunately admins and even RAs aren't always going to be the most attentive about this issue on their own.
From the perspective of a non-paying customer who was testing out the service although not seriously considering it I am kind of shocked even though I know I should not be. This will damage all their competitors in BaaS. No way anyone with any sense would want to risk this sort of thing again, this confirms the worst fears of using service like this. Amazon may well be the winner as usual when custom solutions become more favourable again.
I can totally relate to this, I've had major issues with anxiety and depression that required me to attend large number of therapy sessions + change several meds... The author described what I felt during my uni years and being a complete foreigner, every feeling for me was amplified. Losing attention from close relatives to having financial problems on top of loneliness made things a living hell to me.

To the author, I hope you feel better mate.

To the dicks who cannot comprehend mental illness, shut your cake holes.
Denotationally, there are never examples where such functions are necessary in most languages (with operational constraints and a sufficiently dumb compiler, you can make anything necessary). This doesn't mean that there are never examples where such functions are appropriate.
This is an issue of lack of telegraphing (non-verbal queue/instruction/feedback) the area around the bird that will cause the player to fail. To get "good" at flappy bird the player has to build their own mental model around the bird that represents failure.

Send them to a small teaching-focused college. Institutions that are large, focused on graduate students, and/or focused on research have an incentive structure that puts a lower priority on the care of individual students.

I went to a <1000-student college, and when I had some trouble at home I had an hour-long session with the school counselor, who referred me to a nearby professional. I was also on a first-name basis with some of the deans, and they were able to help accommodate me.

tl;dr Go somewhere that you're a person and not a statistic.

> I haven't read a whole lot of Hemingway, but when I did read him, I always thought he was much more versatile a writer than made out to be.

Remember that Ernest Hemingway, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) and many other writers began as newspaper reporters, where over time they learned to express complex stories with the fewest words.
it was slightly different: Anybody who wanted to try implementing a gil-less python could. The reasons of the status-quo were well explained.

No, euro models have even better trim.

I just checked the BMW site, 535i starts at 57000euros TTC, and $60000 without sales tax; Germany and US, respectively. Remove 20% VAT and its 45000 euros ($60000). Take it to a location where almost new, luxury cars with low mileage are a rare breed (like an airbase in North Dakota, Alaska, etc.) and 30% depreciation isn't a factor.

If there is any tall tale reselling a car back in its export market is one. Containers cost money, shipping a car costs a lot of money, duties and taxes costs lots of money.
In the realm of big data... (is the scientific method needed?)
On the plus side, I would imagine there are relatively limited number of NTP servers (at least compared to DNS when DDoS amplification attacks first caught on)

Lightweight = pure C + runtime only (as opposed to the training side, which needs lots of CPU and memory resources)
It's ridiculous that the author doesn't even consider that her taking prescribed Wellbutrin (and possibly other medicines) could have led to this. I'm quite sure such "anti-depressants" (what a misnomer) had a lot more to do with the suicide than anything Penn or any other institution or individual could possibly have. Of course, this is an extremely unpopular opinion, though based on medical cases and evidence, in our culture which sees drugs as the solution to all mental problems.
So, the 9 tiles on the about:newtab are going to be populated when you're a first user and "Some of these tile placements will be from the Mozilla ecosystem, some will be popular websites in a given geographic location, and some will be sponsored content from hand-picked partners to help support Mozilla’s pursuit of our mission. The sponsored tiles will be clearly labeled as such, while still leading to content we think users will enjoy."[0]

If I remember correctly there's a button in about:newtab to hide the tiles, and you can easily change the behaviour to open about:blank or any other page instead.

Personally, I think Skyrim would be a lot more fun as a co-op game. Then the experiences are shared in both senses you're referring to.

Of course, that doesn't invalidate your point: both games are excellent standing alone.

I don't know much about MongoDB, but it's true that Elasticsearch is a great NoSQL db with support of boolean search. Netflix has a number of use cases that use Elasticsearch as such NoSQL db: http://www.slideshare.net/g9yuayon/elasticsearch-in-netflix
The advocation of a limit discourages that interpretation.
I think the concept people are reaching for is the idea of false positives and negatives. Yes, if you have a bad sentence there is a good chance it will highlight it. But, perhaps not (false positive). Similarly, it will flag many perfectly fine sentences not pitched to 7 graders (false negatives).

Here is text I more or less randomly chose from MOMA's site. Almost all of it is graded as "very hard to read".

Where is the cutting edge of the motion picture? Discover it first at MoMA. Building upon the Museum's long tradition of exploring cinematic experimentation, Modern Mondays is a showcase for innovation on screen. Engage with contemporary filmmakers and moving image artists, and rediscover landmark works that changed the way we experience film and media.

Any edit I make to that paragraph that makes the app happy seems to diminish the text.

In contrast, my first paragraph is graded better than the MOMA text, yet I think it is worse. The one thing it did complain about were the adverbs 'similarly' and 'perfectly'. The former is required to draw the comparison; the second is perhaps redundant, but I am emphasizing to make a point - redundancy is as much a tool in writing as it is a crutch or error.

I'm not saying the app is useless, just take the output with a huge grain of salt. Heck, if I paste text from Hemingway it is a sea of red and yellow.

Suicidal ideation is, in general, not a choice a person makes. It's the result of a combination of depression and lack of inhibition, due to anything ranging from psychosis to extreme anxiety or stress. If you were sufficiently depressed and stressed from being the last person on Earth, you'd most likely commit suicide.
I had a live production logistics system running on top of Elasticsearch 0.6 (as a NoSQL database ) back in 2012. This powered one of India's largest ecommerce systems (at that time).

Elasticsearch is brilliant as a NoSQL - and if you were already using elasticsearch as a search system, you dont need to introduce yet another component into your stack.
I used to think that anonymous comments bred ugliness because it gave people a way to be (even temporarily) racist, hateful, etc. with no consequences for their "real" offline self. The most interesting effect of so much commenting going on using Facebook is my discovery that people are just as willing to be outright racist and hateful in a million ways when their real name, picture, and main online identity are involved.

Ummm... no.

The GAO study you're citing is infamously incorrect.

1. Corporations (and humans) can carry losses forward: if they lose money in 2008 but make money in 2009, they get to even out the two years. This is only fair. Thus they can appear to pay zero tax in a year in which they made money.

2. The "effective rate" counts the aforementioned foreign retained profits as being taxed at zero. Which they're not.

3. An independent analysis found that effective corporate tax rates are "in the mid to upper 20's", and that corporations which operate solely in the US pay 35% corporate income tax:

TL;DR The US really, really, really does have the highest corporate tax rates in the OECD.

Pretty similar message, but the title makes him sound like an asshole when the actual text seems more reasonable.

It doesn't make him sound any better. Loyalty is for cults, not multinationals. A job can be just a means to an end, and there is nothing wrong with that. Trying to get your employees emotionally invested is just a way to increase productivity while keeping labor costs down.

If you're not willing to use the products you make, then how can you expect anyone else to use them.

When did being in your products' target market become a precondition to being good at your job? Besides, it's not like the rank and file are even in a position to make the changes to the service that would interest them in using the service.
But in either case, you brought the meanness, or lack of it, with you.

You have to really be there for yours kids, as a parent, and make efforts to understand them and support them. That's about all you can do. And that's probably enough.

College students everywhere are cruel and callous (which seemed to be one of the big factors in the story). And my school did not have the kind of therapist support described in the article---seems like Penn is probably ahead of 99% of large US schools in that regard.

Put a reverse proxy server such as Nginx in front of your existing Rails 2.3 servers as well as a new Rails 4 app server. Slowly, route by route, port controllers over to the Rails 4 application and map traffic there using Nginx rules. This method is completely safe: If you notice discrepancies, you can point traffic back to your Rails 2.3 environment while you improve the behaviour of the Rails 4 replacement. Lather, rinse, repeat until it's all ported over.
