When I was researching registrars, it was right after SOPA and I was ditching GoDaddy, plus GoDaddy had had at the time several high profile security breaches that had led to loss of business for various customers. Even recently GoDaddy's lax security led to the loss of a high profile Twitter account.

DreamHost, because they coordinate well with their customers and resist automated/troll take-downs, plus their business practices have been honest and transparent.

Namecheap at the time of SOPA did not have customer favoring policies regarding DMCA allegations or otherwise.

I've also used 1&1, but 1&1 does not give full DNS control (custom records, etc.). 1&1 also has really shady practices of silently adding more expensive features to your account if you don't opt-out within 30 days of being notified (hey, we're going to convert your 1$/mo email to 40$/mo Microsoft Exchange, cool?).

Where are Viber's users geographically based?

- Here in China, people use WeChat (as do many Chinese living abroad).

- Many people I know in the USA use WhatsApp

- Line is popular in Japan

I installed Viber 2-3 years ago, but no one has ever contacted me with it.
The signing missing isn't a major effort. You can turn it off easily with spctl via ssh or allow an app for example. Same with windows domains if you have configured a root CA for your organisation. Even metro apps can be side loaded/self signed on Windows enterprise edition.

Agree with your second point entirely.
Understood - thanks for the feedback.
We're certainly planning to investigate it, particularly with the advent of vector units that reduce the latency of data transfers, such as AMD's new Opterons and Intel's Knight's Landing. The challenge here is that while several of the stages (e.g. CSS selector matching) can be trivially sped up on a GPU, the CPU/GPU latency cost is going to be close to the original CPU evaluation time.

There are some very sequential and unfortunately common "corner cases" in layout (e.g., uncleared floats) that have lead us to currently prefer the higher clock-speed CPU for parallelizing phases. Even if we find a great way to work around floats, it's likely there will still be a lot of CPU/GPU chatter, which makes it difficult to use today's GPU cards when you're trying to keep total page load well under 200ms and incremental reflows < 15ms.
I thought that lenses where only needed due to deficiencies/limitation in Haskell? (A kind of workaround).
I've spent quite some money on GOG but haven't really played many of the games. DRM-free is great though and I'm just snatching up stuff on sale here and there.

I enjoy retroish games and have a pipeline of entertainment for years to come lined up so that's good :)

Edit: Just checked, my collection contains 137 games

A friend told me a story about how his great uncle became rich: he was a piano player on cruise ships (thus not having a lot of expenses). Every now and then when he was on the shore he'd buy another house and rent it. By the end of his life he ended up owning most of the small English town he was from.

A quote I once heard from a very bright hedge-fund guy: "My gardener drives a Mercedes SUV. There is no one I can't learn something from."

That actually sounds crass and a bit stupid. Any idiot can buy an SUV on credit, and SUVs just show that one has shitty, suburban taste in vehicles.

I agree with the sentiment of, "Don't assume someone's an idiot because he does physical labor". But it shouldn't take a fucking ugly hunk of metal to make someone learn that. If you actually go out and talk to people who aren't like you, you learn that there are some extremely intelligent people in blue-collar labor by, I don't know, high school at the absolute latest.
This was a great interview about selling a very complex product to a very difficult customer base (programmers). Someday, I want to start a developer tools company so it was cool to hear about the challenges they faced in getting started. My key take points were:

1. Your tool must demonstrably solve a challenging problem right away. Programmers will ignore it if on first run it doesn't have a good result for them.

2. Marketing via finding bugs in FOSS software can help sell licenses.

3. Mindshare is difficult to build because your target is often big companies with big budgets, but the people you need to convince are everyday programmers. Hopefully, their new lower priced option will help them in this case.

Anyway, very cool bootstrapped business. It is always nice to read about someone who has been able to make a business out of solving hard problems. Many businesses seem to solve easy problems which people haven't noticed before (which is likely a better business strategy but can sometimes lead to boring work).

Yeah, it's never about the cost though, and always about the thought... that's hard for me, even after 10 years together....women have a life-long maintenance schedule (romantic and respectful gestures).

For you young guys dating: "great Apache warrior always mysterious and never talks about his many ponies". That means don't try to buy a good woman (or brag); they're not for sale. You want to be with someone who's just happy to be with you, even if it's for a free jazz concert. "Is she part of the crew, or part of the cargo?"

I could go on, and on, and on... it's all from "The System" in case you were wondering. There are good women out there, so good luck to all of us finding (and keeping) them.
Any computer which can advertise vnc over mDNS (which apple calls 'Rendezvous') will show up in finder sidebar. I have my own custom a raspberryPi image set up to do this out of the box. You can get this going on any Linux box by installing avahi. Then google for instructions to configure avahi to advertise vnc. I believe if you advertise smb or afp that will also cause it to show in the sidebar, but I haven't tried it.
believe it or not, amount of local radio play still is the most referenced metric for booking consideration, at least on a profitable touring scale (as in touring for income rather than promotion). downloads and internet fanbase metrics have been used as well for quite some time now, just on a smaller scale, ultimately these decisions are up to the promoter, whether to trust facebook likes to turn into ticket sales, whether to trust a new artist being represented by a historically successful agent (this probably holds more value than any online clout), whether to trust the promoter's own instinct with their local market in deciding what acts will prove successful. ultimately, i agree that making a back-catalog free will benefit certain artists but probably not the domestically touring indie band.

I would learn all 3 that aren't C++11.

I am learning Rust now. The explicit memory management is to me its defining feature. The compiler is strict, but it manages pointers/references safely. Manual memory management with fewer sharp edges (once it compiles). It seems to be blazing its own trail here. It's frustrating getting anything running when half the examples online only work on older versions of the compiler, but if you can tolerate the churn there is a lot to be learned.

Go is a very clean, simple language with a great thread/concurrency model. It seemed similar to Rust at first, but it's garbage-collected, doesn't (won't ever?) have algebraic data types, and lacks pattern matching. It does have a certain appeal: simplicity. If I only had one weekend to burn, I'd learn Go.

Upstart is certainly not an example of NIH-syndrome. At the time that upstart was written, nothing else existed that solved the problems that it did. systemd did not exist at the time. Ubuntu led the way here, and it is unfair to claim otherwise.
It's not bollocks; we now have Google engineers on record that they had to substantially rethink Android in the wake of the iPhone announcement.

> Chris DeSalvo’s reaction to the iPhone was immediate and visceral. “As a consumer I was blown away. I wanted one immediately. But as a Google engineer, I thought ‘We’re going to have to start over.’”

> On the day Jobs announced the iPhone, the director of the Android team, Andy Rubin, was six hundred miles away in Las Vegas, on his way to a meeting with one of the myriad handset makers and carriers that descend on the city for the Consumer Electronics Show. He reacted exactly as DeSalvo predicted. Rubin was so astonished by what Jobs was unveiling that, on his way to a meeting, he had his driver pull over so that he could finish watching the webcast.

> “Holy crap,” he said to one of his colleagues in the car. “I guess we’re not going to ship that phone.”

This is an amazing and challenging project to work on. If you'd like to join us, we hang out in #servo on irc.mozilla.org or just dive right into the code[1]. You don't need previous browser hacking experience, and we're happy to mentor you through a bug.

We're opening three full-time positions on the Servo team at Mozilla Research within the next couple of days; they should be up on the careers[2] page soon.

Also, if you're a graduate student, Mozilla Research is still looking for summer interns for Servo, Daala, Shumway, and other projects. Those positions are also on the careers page.

GOG has been pulling off some fantastic marketing lately. Good for them.
Don't worry though they have a fool-proofing auditing systems in place to prevent abuse of the intelligence they have intercepted on US "persons".

I am always amazed at the double claim the NSA makes:

1. That they have a great auditing system that catches abuses.

2. That the auditing system shows that most NSA employees are honest because they have caught very few abuses.

The two claims do not support each other.
These two alternatives would be more convincing:

1. That the auditing system is great and thus we have caught millions of abuses.

2. That the auditing system is easy to bypass and therefore we have caught very few abuses.

The very fact that Snowden could take what he did, in the way in which he did, and that they still don't know the extent of data copied shows that their auditing systems are easy to bypass.

Android apps on Windows Phone sounds like a great idea
Is there a way to search the Chrome Web Store for all extensions and apps only made by "Google, Inc." as is possible to do on Google Play?
That's just logical. Windows uses loose code signing. SmartScreen is the same sort of thing but you have to buy a more expensive code signing cert from VeriSign etc. You can self sign or run a CA on windows domains, even for metro apps on enterprise edition (and RT).

OSX is easy enough to control via spctl as well. You can use this or pay $99. Several things I downloaded, including Logic Pro from Apple didn't come with a certificate. It's not a big deal.

Most of what you say is paranoia. Signing is overall a damn good thing.

Android is. If you flick a switch. Same with OSX and Windows. WP even allows you to install unsigned apps if register it as a dev handset. Same with iOS.

This is mainly about protecting both the end user from malware and protecting the app sellers' revenue stream.
I have learnt Chinese and use it for work. Chinese characters have a personality of their own, you don't need to know the sound to remember them. You could even read perfectly Chinese and being unable to communicate orally. This very hard to understand or even believe when not experienced for real.

So yes, learning Chinese or Kanji has a steeper learning curve, but no, it is not that hard, and in fact from context and shape you can guess a possible pronunciation and meaning for unknown characters, sometime.
One thing I don't see anyone in these comments taking into account- this is music that, for various sampling law / licensing reasons, they have never been able to sell or stream online. They seem to be giving it away because they've run out of options for getting it in the hands of their fans otherwise.
Thanks for computing those

Oh I don't argue about the mathematical exactitude of the values inside the limited precision of float64 (or something else).

I doubt about the significance of them in a context other than (float) math. Graphics, physics, etc.

Or better, don't try to numerically integrate cosine from 0 to 2^120 naively.

Which is fair enough. As and when you find out that their support sucks, you look for better alternatives.

Just because you're still using some other services with crap support, doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to get better alternatives when you do find unacceptable behaviour.

"We're changing the world." This will be our excuse for low pay, crappy benefits, fast firing, and nonexistent career planning. We want you to think of yourself as a founder but you'll have employee-level equity and if you try to use our rising star to advance yourself (i.e. by acting like a founder in the public) we'll fire you.

Those companies are halfway houses for college kids who don't want to grow up, but they're actually more dangerous to one's career and income (short-term and long-term) than regular corporate jobs-- and the quality of work is often, ceteris paribus, worse in the goofy startups.
Because something that people might not know that's from 2011 is less relevant in 2014?
Err, this is from Sept of last year and was fixed. What's this doing here?
Seems like it would chip away at Snowden's "whistleblower" claim if he was actively trying to subvert the NSA's compartmentation scheme to access documents he wasn't cleared for.

I know that NSA/Snowden continues to be at the top of the news, but it's still worth pointing out again that NSA's internal system is probably one of the most secret of internal IT systems and through Snowden's work, we've found out: 1) NSA employees are easily phished and 2) They probably don't have the same level of deterministic dev ops deployments that modern tech companies depend on, given that it was Snowden's job to install an "anti-leak" system and apparently no one double-checked to make sure he had installed it. Hell, who knows if even that secret anti-leak system would actually do anything besides add more cruft to their internal operations? http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/10/snowdens-nsa-post...
What I learned about unit testing
Is Coinbase following the law? They are registered as a money services business with FinCEN, but I checked a couple of states that their FinCEN registration says they operate in (California and Washington), and did not see them listed there. As a control, I checked both those states for PayPal to make sure I was looking at the right list, and it was there.
When I talk to people thinking of working on their startup or small business I often tell them to take two days to concentrate on exactly how they will make money and to write down the reasons why they will not make money.

Often people don't actually know the details of how companies make money on the internet. With out being too negative you are a better friend or acquaintance if you say to people that their idea and enthusiasm is good but it is unlikely to make money and could cost the would be entrepreneur lots of money. But again say it nicely not in an all knowing prick way!
I did not like Dungeon Keeper first time round. The optimal strategy is turtle, making missions 3 hour affairs. Furthermore, you get to keep your best monster in the next level, so you need to mine every map to death if min/maxing.
Multiplayer was very wonky strategically too. The outcome was decided in the first 10 mins based on whether you could out recruit monsters, but the death blow could not be dealt until about an hour later :s

The actual concept was pretty amazing though. It certainly stuck in my mind for one of the coolest concepts for a game. Playing the baddie is always fun. Just the actual dynamics of the game were pretty flawed. I bought Dungeon Keeper 2 though anyway, haha.
Not really. We're mainly concerned that the interface is consistent.

service ssh restart works fine but that was fine in sysvinit as well..
They lost their antitrust case, which most of the harshest judgements were reduced or overturned later in appeal. In the end it was determined that they were a monopoly, the results of which include the things you mentioned, and some of their long held business practices had to be changed. After that Netscape eventually came back, and better, as Firefox and Apple doesn't seem to be doing so badly these days.

I'm not understanding your point about an alternate universe in your statement. I must be missing something.
