A vaporizer is perhaps a bit less social, but I find that it is much easier on my lungs than smoking. I'd recommend looking into them. I'm turned off by the pen-form factor/vapor liquid/nicotine scene, but a small vaporizer for ground plant matter is great.

One problem with vaporizers is that there isn't a great word to use to describe the action of using one. "Vap" sounds lame or maybe even show-offy, so I just use the word "smoke". ;)

Alcohol is what I truly appreciate though. The reason I smoke is so that when I want to unwind and tune out, I have options other than alcohol every time. Heavy long term alcohol use can be very bad for you, but by giving myself other healthier options I've managed to get my drinking back to 4-8 times a month (always Wednesdays, sometimes Fridays). Alcohol is what I love/fear, weed is what I entertain myself with between flings with booze.

I am starting to suspect that caffeine is a net-negative force in my life, as it constantly jostles my sleep schedule.

I live in Austin and have Time Warner Cable, my bill is roughly $173.00 per month. This is includes Internet (30 Mbps down/5Mbps up) and basic cable (no premium channels).

For people living in Austin, I doubt we will see increased speeds or better price offerings from AT&T/TWC until the day Google Fiber is available to significant portions of the city's population.

Someone should make a Chrome developer tools extension to catch stuff like this. It's incredible how many people mess it up and don't realize it, simply because developers still aren't accustomed to good typography on web pages.
Yet they're still funding this campaign to have women sent to them. Which is one of the saddest things I've typed in recent memory.

According to a comment by the founder on the article, that's in the works going up online tommorow. They decided to do this one first because of winter weather in NYC vs SF.
Not to offend anyone but Christianity is basically just a crazy death cult. I've been fighting the ignorance of this religion my entire life.
It's the "elsewhere is valuable" "logic."

Protip for men: Davis, CA not during summer has the highest concentration of unmarried, college educated, single women of any college town in the US, outside the Boston metro. Thursday night is salsa night at The Grad. Get your silly colored sunglasses and go.

The other trick is to have women fly out to meet you, oh wait, that one has an API now. :) Seriously, distance is another "barrier" so it is good for the stationary party (not that kind, the human kind).

"CarPlay is a protocol, not software that runs on anything"

Ok, look, CarPlay isn't mystical, its implemented in software than runs on QNX. It might run on other things, the title doesn't say "exclusively", it doesn't say "only". Protocols are implemented in software. Software runs on OSes.

The normal person has no confusion over what the title means. I swear I'm being trolled on this one.
I love Nokia Pure too. It looks great on their website and on the Asha phone I've used. The 4 is great.

Sure. But then you hit a case where your URI scheme doesn't map 1:1 to the part of the filesystem your web server is looking at. Sometimes you can just hang ?id=foo off the end of the URI and be done with it. Sometimes you're doing something more complex, and an application-level URI router suddenly looks useful, precisely because it makes it easy to map arbitrarily and in detail between the things your application knows about and the URIs your client interacts with.

It's a bit much, too, to say "All frameworks are too complicated to be worth the effort because Django!" Even Django's partisans acknowledge that it's on the very high end of the complexity curve; indeed, it's the only framework I know of which requires more up front from the developer than Rails. I'm lately more and more of the opinion that, in almost all cases, most of that up-front investment is wasted; you can get 90% of the benefit from a microframework such as Ruby's Sinatra or Python's Flask, either of which can be mastered from a standing start inside a weekend, and save the suffering involved in Rails or Django for when, if ever, you actually need that last ten percent.

Basically, you want to choose the right tool for the job. If you're putting in two screws, just grab your trusty Apache-brand screwdriver and go to it. If you're putting in forty, you're better off breaking out the Flask power drill and a screwdriver bit; sure, you can put in forty screws with a hand driver, but you won't do your wrists any favors in the process. And if you're putting up a frame for a two-story house, you're really going to need something like Django's powder-actuated, magazine-fed nail gun, but for anything smaller, it'd be overkill.

I'm all for LSD being considered for certain therapeutic cases.

I took it at a time of my life when I'd been having a sustained identity crisis for years on end, something I'd made known to friends and family. I had no idea who I was supposed to be and I felt like I was just running on auto-pilot, idly guessing at how I should react to situations and being surprised when things turned out okay. I read tons of self-help books and "know-thy-self" pamphlets, but I was still clueless.

After the LSD, I completely knew who I was again, and I've been on that steady path ever since.

It's a good thing to try when you need to do some introspection that you've been having substantial trouble coming to a solution over.

I seriously believe it skipped over a decades worth of introspection for me. I mean, I was already on year "3" of my crisis, and I had made zilch headway. It gets you through things that are nigh impossible to do without it. That of course combined with the low-toxicity and lack of a potential for addiction makes it a no-brainer.

Like somebody else commented, it's like it shakes your brain up like a snowglobe breaking all of those strongly held pathways in your brain that you would normally be unable to even see. It destroys false pre-conceptions about yourself like a steamroller, and then it helps you build the correct notions back up.

Unless you are incredibly desperate, this is a terrible, terrible idea, as is dealing with any VC or organization that demands these terms.

Even if you are successful, you will end up with nothing. The investor will dictate subsequent terms, you will be diluted severely, and you will have poor liquidation terms.

Don't waste years of your life with these losers.

On a side note, Lightbank has screwed around with investing in quite a few companies I've heard of. They are as arrogant and incompetent as the terms they demand imply.

So I guess the whole meme of "if the code was open to scrutiny, this bug wouldn't have happened" doesn't seem to be so valid now. There was legitimate outrage on Hacker News that Apple could allow such a bug, and that it was an indicator of the evil of closed source systems.

Exciting is subjective. :-)

I don't disagree that there are fewer ideas, but that's because we need new ideas, including new architectures. Having spent quality time on a number of novel supercomputer architectures that seem to have been forgotten in the rush to turn GPUs into short vector SIMD-ish successors to Cray XMP/YMPs, I don't think we've looked at all the viable alternatives, at least not in a long time. For example, I'm clear on why memory-based vectors like the Cyber-205 faded at the time, but it's not clear the same limitations fundamentally still exist (especially with L2/L3 caches bigger than the 205 main store now). I think that's interesting...YMMV.

Similar to "bath salts," that legal trickery may work for a while, but the law will eventually catch up if a government is motivated to stop something.
This is making fun of small teams creating revolutionary technology. Maybe not intentionally, maybe they only intend to promote a new movie or video game or something, but intentionally or not, they are making fun of startups.

Startups like these are real. They are creating incredibly cool new technology. The oculus rift, the pebble watch, and tons of others. That's whom this is making fun of.

And because crowd funding is a big part of making these new technologies happen, making fun and creating a fake tech is poisoning the well.

Intentionally or not, this is poising the well that gave us the Oculus Rift and others.

And that's why I really hope this advertising campaign backfires bad. I hope what ever this is supposed to be promoting, be it movies, video games or shoes, I hope it bombs bad. And bombs thanks to pissed off consumers.
Holy shit, are those prices normal for Austin? Everywhere I've lived (Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee) I've paid roughly $40-50/month for just internet from Comcast that's also a bit faster than yours.

How did they have tons of signups before they had a product? Did they just have a "coming soon" (with these awesome features) landing page? Would that count as traction?
I completely disagree. The whole point is to see the gifs.
The part I don't understand is why people generalize their one bad experience to "the whole system is corrupt!"

I've worked for two startups as a programmer. They were both broken, and each was broken in its own way. I don't think that the founders of them were bad people or out to screw me. They were, however, way in over their heads. Startups are hard.

I also founded a startup. It was also broken in its own way, despite trying to avoid all the mistakes that I'd seen my previous bosses make. Startups are hard. Luckily, I didn't take anyone else down with me - it was just me and my cofounder, he soft-landed at business school and I soft-landed at Google.

I now work at Google. It is significantly less broken than any previous startups I've worked at. However, there are still a bunch of things about it that are annoyances.

No place is ever going to be perfect, but if you tar each new employer with the same broad brush that made you leave the last one, then chances are the same broad problems will come up.
I've had that happen to me when I have fallen asleep while high (sativa, if it makes any different). I avoid doing that now; the dreams were never frightening or disturbing.. just kind of creepy how vivid they were.

I've been on the other side of an exchange like that. I'm not a web developer, so "Apache" doesn't mean anything to me. I wanted to know "What does Apache do, and how does it interact with the code you write?" but they didn't seem to understand what I was asking.

I found the article informative. I can understand what their 'simplest' example does knowing only what sockets are. However, I have no idea what cgi is. Your example is magic to me. The the things the example is supposed to teach are hidden behind its abstraction.

Unfortunately, they would just search that as well. And if the machine is already infested, it's a conduit search at that.

The problem is Windows. IE is too easy to hack and break. Drive-by exploits are routine with IE and Windows-Firefox. There is little security and process limitation in Windows to prevent an active expoit. Worse yet, I cant even delete an "open file" without special tools. In any other OS, that's not a problem. File gets removed. Windows acts like a toddler.

BTW, Xubuntu works well here for friends and family whom I support. It just works, they're nigh invulnerable to exploits and problems are a kill and rm away.
I find there is often a need for a relative inverse relationship between screen width and the size of an element.

The most obvious of which is buttons. As screen width decreases the probability of the user being on a touch device increases, and you tend to want relatively larger fat-finger-friendly buttons at smaller screen sizes.

I guess calc() with rem sizing could work well here. But calc() always feels like cheating to me.
I had severe lag issues. Probably needs much smaller assets, perhaps HTML 5 video, and protection against double-clicks.
I claim that writing an extensive test suite for TLS is not nearly as difficult as switching people to a new language. Rewriting in a stricter language, maybe. But Haskell has a big runtime and garbage collection and its own compiler and would be a big pain to integrate everywhere that uses C TLS libraries; smaller compile-to-C languages might be easier, but who wants to use an experimental language to develop crypto code? ...And you'd still want to test it, because although functional programming style makes many bug classes less likely, it's not a panacea. You're still basically hoping that the developer doesn't make a single thinko.

Compared to that:

- Better unit testing is much easier to integrate into existing projects. Yes, it can only prevent a bug if the developer generally thought of the class of error, but at least it sort of forces them to spend some time thinking about possible failure cases, and can detect cases where their mental model was wrong. Also, it helps detect regressions: "goto fail" wasn't a strange edge case the developer didn't think of, it was a copy paste error which good unit tests could have caught.

- Functional testing can be independent of the implementation and written by someone unrelated. They can only do so much in general, but they might have caught both of these bugs.

Yes, audits are another option, but I'd say they should complement tests, not replace them.

ed: oh, and if you want to be really intellectually rigorous, you could try to formally verify your C code; model could have bugs but could also be implementation independent. But I hear that's rather difficult...

It's powerful, but mostly for codebases you're totally unfamiliar with. Usually there's a compile error or traceback that you can simply understand, and that's obviously a faster solution.

The best use case I can think of for "git bisect" is hangs during kernel boot: you can get your system booting over the network and set up with a remotely switchable power supply, and then update the network-boot kernel automatically to be the next stage in the bisect based on whether the system booted successfully, or hung.

.. other than that, just use the error message. :-)
Would be interesting to see more analysis of what these numbers mean. Is it salary? Benefits? Work environment? Interesting work? (Big companies do not offer the most interesting work, in my experience.) Long-term stock upside? Or just ... brand?

Exactly, that was my point.
Saying something like "is just a guy with opinions" is rude and who knows what could happen.

In the US we tax anything that you could remotely consider income. For example if you agree to do some IT work for your dentist in exchange for a couple of fillings, you are supposed to report the fair market value of the transaction and pay tax on it. That is probably hard for the IRS to track down and enforce, but it doesn't stop the tax law from existing.

Dealing With A Congenital Ptosis Diagnosis
If your child has been diagnosed with congenital ptosis, a condition where muscles in the eyelids do not properly regulate the upper eyelid and sometimes interfere with vision, the best plastic surgeons in Miami are those who specializes in potosis surgery and other ophthalmic surgeries. They are able to perform upper eyelid surgery on children under general anesthesia, ensuring proper eyelid muscle function is restored. A small incision in the upper eyelid allows for the eye muscles to be shortened; the incision is then closed with dissolving stitches. Even cosmetic procedures by an ophthalmic Miami plastic surgeon can correct mild ptosis, and leave your child feeling more confident.

Raymond wrote Cathedral and Bazaar almost 20 years ago. In the context of the time and the state of open software "all bugs are shallow" was a pretty damn accurate response to its critics. It still isn't a bad description in many cases.

There are always edge cases where beta testing and multiple eyes fall short of mathematical possibility [never mind sophisticated attacks]. That such a bug as this matters 17 years after Raymond made his remarks is a testimony to the robustness of the mechanism he described.
I wouldn't call it "greedy", but when webfonts were starting to gain traction (2011-2012), foundries didn't sell licenses for web use, so their fonts were only available on services like Typekit or FontDeck. I don't if that's the case anymore.

Then again, Adobe has moved to SaaS only (or are they selling licenses for non-CC apps?), so designers don't have much of a choice anymore.

Sorry, I should have clarified that comment before posting it.

Many bands allow audience taping but I'm not aware of m?any that allow for commercial distribution of those recordings. If Spotify attempted to distribute those recordings against the bands' policies then it would probably piss off the bands.

That Danny Schmidt is pretty great stuff. You're right about Spotify's lack of content when it comes to stuff like this-- they have all his studio albums but are kind of weak when it comes to live stuff, they have one album. Archive.org definitely fills in this gap (I use it all the time for Dead shows).
A stopped clock is right twice a day. If you compare random subsets of index funds (i.e. take a random half of the stocks in the fund and call those a new fund), some of those will consistently outperform the indexes too.
I'd love to eventually work on that kind of stuff full time- how would one go about making the transition? Do you basically have to learn/work on projects like this during your free time, and hope your "portfolio" gets you a job?

It's really that easy, as strange as it sounds. Just find some graphics stuff you like doing, and do it a lot.
