The bare idea is very much similar to S3, i.e. a file store. I hope to bring a different value with things like webhooks, Docker images rebuilt automatically as files are uploaded (e.g. for reconfiguration prior to deployment on a cluster of machines), ... agreed these additional features are vaporware but I get started :)

Now, I really think that re-using scp is neat. For instance if you have tools to manage a cluster of machines, it is entirely possible you are already using SSH deploy keys (i.e. you have tools to manage SSH-based credentials). But sure you are probably also using other services that requires API keys.
If I had to guess, it's because C lets them model their software closely to how the hardware is designed.
It's interesting that the example code shown is so clunky. It uses try-finally to manually dispose the resource when the idiomatic way would be to wrap it in a using block:

using (var file2 = new StreamReader(file))
{
while ((line = file2.ReadLine()) != null)
Console.WriteLine(line);
}

It's possible this is a badly picked example but it shows one big downside of this -- the lack of discussion about the sample code that you would normally get at e.g. Stack Overflow or a blog.
If I thought it could provide me value, free. If I thought the concept was interesting but questioned if it would actually be worth my time as a real product, $20 for a week of testing.
You would be surprised about how many people live just fine without the internet. Radio, the paper, and TV are their sources of information. Job fairs, government handouts, and more, are covered in many ways through those three mediums.

Then add in the personal networks, friends and family, and ever present cell phones. If anything their cell phones are far more important than the internet.

Upward mobility is primarily an effect of self discipline and will power. Internet and related are simply tools that help one get there but by no means are not the limiting factor.

The idea in this case is that they documented stem cells in the gums or tooth root. The only stimulate to let the blood enter the tooth area and let it do the rest. So they don't have active involvement in implanting and stimulating.
I didn’t realize that the original site is already quite optimized. With a primed cache the original homepage results in only one request:

html ~200KB (~33 gzipped)

Not bad at all. Of course the 4k example is even more stunning. Could the gzip compression best practices perhaps be added to an extension like mod_pagespeed?
I never ever ever read anything about it. Can you link some information related? Because googling it I can't find anything
That is not the only difference. A down-ranked app may not get any organic downloads from people searching/browsing the App Store. But if a developer is doing their own marketing to direct people straight to the download page in the App Store, then there is a huge difference between "not available" and "hidden at the bottom"
dc(1) is also an RPN calculator, which comes in handy sometimes.
Rather than flipping it up you could also slide it to the side. I like the idea of changing the appearance of Glass to let others know that it's off.
It's not really a "historical" reason though. A cursor is still a very small icon. It's pixel art. Choosing angles that look crisp is a foundation of making pixel art and I don't think screen densities are high enough to ignore that.
This is really cool, I find the microsoft documentation particularly terrible.

Not a good analogy. Google isn't tacitly endorsing those websites. It is endorsing things in its store, at least to the level of "we think it's worth taking the vig for this".
Not the OP, and I would've phrased the comment a little less strongly. However, I'm a full stack engineer who came up from the front-end engineering ranks, and I've successfully gone through two major tech switches (desktop -> web and web -> mobile).

The specific tech stack you use as a frontend engineer will almost certainly be obsolete in 5 years. The general skills you learn as a frontend engineer will not be, and that combination of skills are not taught anywhere, particularly not college.

If you're doing it right, you learn way more as a FE-SWE than just Javascript. You learn design concepts like hierarchy, line, typography, color theory, etc. You learn information architecture and how to present only what the user needs to see at a given time to them. You learn how to structure a large application through MVC, MVP, component trees, etc. You learn how to keep it responsive and low-latency. You learn concurrency and how to deal with user interactions that may occur in the middle of your app doing something. You learn animation and motion design. You learn security, input validation, never to trust user input, and how to design the UI so that invalid inputs aren't even possible.

Those are widely transferrable skills. As long as there are computers and people who use them, we'll need to figure out how to interface between them. And as more fundamental CS concepts become available to mainstream, non-tech-savvy users, the need for frontend engineering skills only becomes greater (witness companies like GitHub, DropBox, and Twitter, which are based upon bringing UNIX utilities that have existed for 40 years to mainstream audiences).

I loved my compiler design and machine architecture courses, but demand for those skills is very specialized, and you have to be very good at it to get a job doing them. I'm actually one of the lucky ones who has used my compiler skills in a large corporation, but honestly frontend engineering has opened up many, many more doors for me.
I understand the sentiment, there should be some way to flag the listing on AirBNB or penalize the renter, but lets be fair to the renter and leave their address out of the post. I'm sure everyone is breaking leases and condo regulations to give out a discount to us.
Yeah, I discovered that after doing it. Still never had a reason to use it, though.
1. On my computer, the pointer arrow is asymmetric, and the left side of the arrow-head is vertical.

2. Forget pre-computers... If you draw an imaginary line from my mouse/hand to the cursor, it is approximately parallel/overlapping with the line of the arrow pointing.
Having this for any Language/IDE pair would be great!
Modern high-performance ARM cores such as the Cortex-A15 do plenty of reordering. Even when using strongly ordered memory mappings, you still need barriers to prevent reordering between normal and strongly ordered accesses. No amount of volatile will help with this.
Thank you for the response! I look forward to trying your service!
Keep in mind that differences in gravity will also affect time dilation.
That's a good point. You could have an HTML-aware "precompressor" prepare the HTML for a general-use compression algorithm. However, with end-to-end HTML awareness I think you could do even better.

1) Not currently. At this point no other payment gateways provide the data that Stripe offers without a additional dev work required on the user's part to integrate. Braintree might work, but it's hard to say. Stripe does an amazing job supporting developers, plus they're growing like wildfire, so I'm happy just sticking to Stripe at the moment.

2) Stripe provides none of this. They have the data obviously, but just don't surface any of it in any meaningful ways. They show a few "raw" metrics that don't take in to account things like refunds or cancellations, so the few data bits they do provide are largely inaccurate.

I'm puzzled why you suggest Skynet does not actually work.

Here's an example of using it to control AR drones via a Leap Motion:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iJYeK6wFBs

During a recent hackfest we used Skynet to control a wearable computer over Bluetooth low-energy; the device could be controlled via Twitter, SMS, and a Web page.

Sorry if that picture failed to impress but the relative ease with which these connections could be made is indeed pretty bad-ass.

"3. Unsexy. Yeah. While I don't actually care much about the public image of Germany, I am saddened that the European idea has lost its appeal and continues losing it. I mean, what could _possibly_ go wrong?"

Coming from a small financial crisis stricken country at the periphery of europe, I would like to tell you this:

There is no "germany". And there is no "those lazy leaches". You have swallowed the bait full. You, are not "germany". And I am not "whatever". Generalizations are the root of all hiding. Your interests are not the same as deutsche bank's interests. Mine interests, are not the same as the corrupted (among others, by german interests) local politicians.

They say "germany" to make you think you are one. They say the "lazy" to give you an external enemy. Creating external enemies, is perfect for hiding your industries' and bankers' fing you as well as me. If you live/work in germany, in general, your salary is artificially lowered, to f you, and indebt other countries, to serve the top industrialists and bankers. You pay for the debt, and then you and me pay again for the payment.
Whatever.

Before deregulation all I had in my metro area was dial up, ISDN, or a T1. Then came the various providers riding on the dial up wave when the phone company was forced to allow them.

Guess what I was stuck with even more dial up. Eventually DSL showed up but was the same price by all of them. Then Comcast (I forget who they were before the name changed) came in and suddenly my DSL came down in price but was still slower.

So, yeah it worked. The key takeaway is when we look for bad its easy to forget worse. I am no fan of Comcast in general but they have been many times faster than my phone company for the same price or less. Would it be nice to have a third or more option? Certainly and I damn well want someone to one day think they can do it, but if you common carrier it we will be stuck with whatever some damn government guy thinks is good for my area.

You know that means, tell me who has their streets plowed first in the storms, well lets just say the right people don't live here.

You want to ban Bitcoin gambling more that it's already banned? So betting is only OK when it's a state lottery?? I can most decidedly assure you that people where I live routinely spend their last pennies on state lottery tickets.

And the people who lost some of their money by investing in a volatile new market, then tried to gamble their way back to a break-even point and lost? They bear no responsibility for this? Instead, your solution is to outlaw gambling?

Sometimes I despair of my fellow man. By the way, I don't even gamble (in my entire life, I've gambled one single time, not counting two-dollar NCAA basketball pools in HS).

But it really disturbs me how people want to just outlaw what people should be free to do if they wish. Do you have any idea what they're doing to gamblers because of laws like you're advocating? They're sending in SWAT squads in massive raids, where the "target" frequently ends up shot, or at least their dog.

What about alcohol, do you want to outlaw that? It sure causes a lot of problems. Why not just return to Prohibition?

On the other hand, if some powerful Bitcoin player somehow has insider information on Gox's (in)solvency (quite possible) and is still trying to sell Gox coins or Gox bucks that he/she knows to be worthless, that's clearly crossed the line into fraud, and existing fraud regulations are more than adequate for that. Absolutely no additional regulation is needed to prosecute that (see what's happening to pirateat40). However, I have not seen that this is happening, so I'd like to see the thread you're referring to. As it is, your position on gambling makes me extremely skeptical toward your claims.

Edit: OK, edited out "are you fucking kidding me". I apologize to fellow HNers for such an emotional comment -- first time ever (check my history). But I'm so tired of people calling for more laws when we're so close to living in a police state.
That is certainly the case. But I guess my point is both ecosystems are so completely divergent that it makes sense that .NET would be an uphill battle for shops not running it elsewhere.

I remember looking into MSBuild, but I couldn't get it to work. I must have had some path set wrong or something.

Really? How many websites are signed up / do you expect to sign up? Can you not spare 5 minutes per site per month to make sure there's a notification and/or opt-in? Or come up with an automated way to check it. Or use mechanical turk and pay somebody $0.50 per site to check for you.

If you can't prioritize something as important as running an ethical (and law abiding - take a very close look at the ramifications of unauthorized computer usage, which I think it could be argued you're doing with this platform) business, then you really shouldn't be in business.
Touché, I must say:)

You're right about deployments of J2EE on Windows servers, my point here was that they might have guides on how to tie some knots together to make Java <> Windows play nicely, but I wouldn't expect too much. After all, Microsofts target is providing you with full solution to your business needs.

They need to start giving free guides, giving software (BizSpark) might not be enough if people don't know how to use it. And as much as I dislike some of the policies which Microsoft has, I would be lying when telling, that I didn't found pleasure while working with tools like SQLServer or the.

Also, as tracker1 said below - I'm also surprised with node. They know that getting some other languages (ruby, python) to work on Windows can be a bit "hard", especially in production deployments (try using some tools written in ruby, like veewee + vagrant + virtualbox combo), you would expect that they would at least advertise nodejs more.
Anyone that thinks this is going to turn out well for people with money in Gox is off their rocker. Just saw this this morning from a veteran of the online poker industry talking about how the Gox situation has strong parallels to online poker companies that saw a rash of insolvencies due to funds seizures, theft, and banking issues. Just cemented my view.

We didn't need VC or anything like that to get started, so our expenses were very low. It also did (and does) generate quite a bit of revenue, so I'd say it's definitely outside the 'lifestyle business' category.

In the end we had all partners (3 of us), and a full time employee -- so it was fairly big I'd say (all with profitability, etc. from day one).

Along the way we could have definitely hired more engineers and grown the team, but we decided to treat it as a passive business after we got some big successes and didn't think hiring / etc. would be necessary (at least for a while).

If I could go back in time and re-do that, I think the company would be much larger now (and more successful) had we scaled our engineering team early on with the money we got, and tried to shoot for quicker growth.

How not to evaluate hard disk reliability: Backblaze vs world+dog
Well, this is some way similar to the experience I had when renting through AirBNB in Rio de Janeiro during carnival. We were 4 people and booked a place with two bedrooms which said it accommodates 4 people. Sounds right.

When we showed up at the place, there were just 3 beds - a double bed in one room and a single bed in another.

Mind you, this being carnival season and stuff, we were paying a handsome amount for our rental. However, when we got in touch with the host (he lives in the US with his wife, a care taker opened the house for us..) he refused to acknowledge the issue. He said: "There's a couch in the living room, one of you can sleep there - that way the house accommodates 4 people".

So we got in touch with AirBNB support who said they would find us another place. Of course they couldn't - everything is sold out during carnival. So, they finally decided to refund the "AirBNB fee" to us (about USD 54) so that we could use it to buy an inflatable mattress to put on the floor.

I asked them why they couldn't give us a full refund considering this was absolutely unacceptable as they should take responsibility for incorrect listings that lead to situations like this. (for what it's worth, Expedia, etc. have a far higher standard of customer service when it comes to stuff like this) They replied saying that the host had already been paid out - as if that's our problem.. =/

Anyway, we had no choice but to stay so we did indeed buy an inflatable mattress... AirBNB's customer support however was pretty terrible and the host was a complete asshole to us.

Have you ever read 1984. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak

I'm of the opinion we should dispose of useless words. Why even have the word terrified in the dictionary when you can use very afraid?

Very good and you'd use superb? Over the dozens of other words that can be used to replace good? I say get rid of them all. I'd also go with the idea of removing antonyms in exchange for un- prefixed words because you do have the issue that antonyms are not exact opposite.

You also have the issue with the comparisons that very can be less intensive. Very wet does not mean soaked. Additionally, being anxious modernly implies a mixture of stress, worry, possibly fright. Potentially changing your meaning is not usually desired.

However, this article only describes how to avoid using very, and that may be a good goal. There are many times when you can better describe your meaning without using very. However, you cannot do it in every instance.
