Arabian Tale The Beggar And The Miser
An old beggar passed through an old village. He knocked on the door of a big beautiful house, with a tall barn and a large iron padlock on the gate. In this house lived a man, known in the village for his miserliness: he never helped people, even though he was very rich. Read the rest under the link...

It should certainly be a feature :)

The easiest way to see it is like this:
Lets say you make chairs. Someone pays you 100$ for a chair. You make the chair with a small amount of materials, and sell it to the buyer for 100$.

At the start of this process, there was 100$ and maybe 5$ of materials. After the transaction, the 100$ is still there, but there is also a chair worth 100$ in circulation. So 105$ of assets turned into 200$.
that's much better than 'hand crafted in MS Word' or 'broken Wordpress'
It obviously is for the MAC user, who wants one button, one motion for everything and the ability to see under the hood abstracted away. Great product if they make it a bit more transparent as to what is going on and add more customization.

> with Macintosh's kernel

I misread that as "Microsoft's..." and got excited since I run a build farm that's 70% windows and wish I could use docker but it's not worth having two systems (Container and VMs).

Also isn't that complete wrong? Macintosh is not an OS or company. It was one of Apple's product lines, long ago.

These are well-done graphics and Reuters Graphics has an excellent stylebook...but just to be a nag...this strikes me as a good example of how custom Web navigation can be counterproductive for the reader.

I'm sure most people can figure out that the top three images are meant to be buttons, but I'll admit that I didn't notice, at first, that when you click each subhed-button, a "Next" option pops up in the top right, along with page-boxes to the top left. It's obvious once you've noticed them, but the trick is noticing them in the first place, which you might not because your eyes immediately jump down to the graphic. How many users, after seeing the initial graphic, immediately click on one of the other subhead buttons, thus seeing only a total of 3 graphics?

An equally problematic issue is that there's no way to deep-link any of the items. I can't easily discuss a specific graphic (and they're hard to locate via rightclicking, as they're embedded via svg tag) here, or even one of the subnav-topics, without fully describing the actual graphic...which is a real inconvenience. The use of clickable gray boxes as pagination only adds to the inconvenience, because now I have to count which box I'm on.

I think this would've been better served by having each sub-topic be a long, scrollable webpage...as it is now, you already have to scroll to read most of these graphics. Once you get done with one graphic, you have to scroll back to the top, click "Next", and then read through...at least have a "Next" at the bottom.

The main argument for having this compact nav is to invite quicker comparison between slides...I don't think that's a great argument even in the best of cases, but here, because of the vertically-long slides, it's not even applicable. It'd be far easier to flip back between sequential graphics by simply scrolling.

OK, that was a lot of nagging, but I hate to see great work obfuscated by "gee-whiz" navigational design that is user-unfriendly. I would discuss the graphics but like I said, it's kind of a pain to specify and describe each particular slide without deeplinks.

Why the Future Will Be Awesome
That makes little to no sense.

This reeks of the same logic that caused them to disable HTML file upload buttons (there's "no" filesystem -- which is apparently why you can't even browse for photos and uploads until recent IOS).

This is what drove "there's an app for that" for so many years: Apple's systematic limiting of web apps into a severely curtailed walled garden so that the app store would -- in fact, could -- be the only source for real applications.

"Web Apps aren't as performant as native" is a direct result of such strategies.

In other words, those strategies WORKED. As with all anti-competitive practices, they will keep doing their job for a while, until something new and better (or at least workable) comes along.

Excellent presentation.

On the presentation, it does feel like a stew with all the right ingredients but without seasoning to fully appreciate the taste. Seasoning not meaning editorial content, but a glue to hold the how and why together, and understand the combination of the taste.

The only native apps in HTML5 are probably some of those Win 8 apps. If you think about it HTML5 is just a quirky version of XAML and the latter is supported in Win8 very well. Maybe OS itself should give a choice of layout engine.

How I Moved Away From The Mac After Leaving Apple
> Because "build atop a crumbling foundation" has demonstrated time and again to be, by far, the most successful way to accomplish anything in computing?

That's only because the currency for building things on top of crumbing foundations has been sweat and man-power. We aren't that far off from the Egyptians that were using hundreds of thousands of slaves per pyramid. It's a good thing that we've transcended the necessity for hundreds of thousands of slaves when raising buildings, don't you think?

And yet, here you are, claiming that building stuff with broken tools is the most successful way to accomplish anything in computing. Actually I view it as nothing short of a miracle, showing human determination in action ;-)

> All languages, runtimes, and standard libraries (and databases, and source control, and on and on) are "broken" at sufficient scale.

That's a fallacy. Just because both X and Y are broken, that doesn't mean they are equal, as some things are more broken than others and PHP is more broken than anything else mainstream (C++ at least has reasons). Also, I don't see how "at scale" changes things in PHP's favor, I really don't.

If you're trying to argue that "at scale" the level of brokenness converges to the same levels, then that's a stupid thing to say. After all, Twitter didn't had to build its own JVM and the stuff they run on top of the JVM is probably more power efficient than you'll ever be with HHVM. Probably saner too.

>You outlined a couple of scenarios where a transaction can be fraudulent, which is more than the 0 acceptable to a small business where margins are razor-thin already

What? You really think a small business has zero credit card fraud? You're wrong. Not to mention when you get hit with a chargeback, you get charged a fee that is usually higher than the amount stolen from you to begin with.

The credit card companies push fraud liability down to the merchant in the current system.

Bitcoin probably is less susceptible to PoS fraud than credit cards are, from a merchant standpoint. Consumer of course is a different story.
When I worked at Best Buy, one of the senior developers put together some pretty cool dashboards with Zing Charts: http://www.zingchart.com/

We had several charts that kept track of all the agile stats like burn rate, tasks, outstanding defects, and sprint progress. He whipped it together in about a day since it was done with Javascript and JSON. All he did was have people update their individual JSON files on the network before they left for the day and he'd run a batch job at night that pulled in the new data and then updated the charts.

It was pretty easy to manage and we had a 72" monitor hooked into the network so every morning you got an update on how things were going. The "business types" liked it because they could just glance as they were strolling past our area and see how horrible errrrrrrrrrrrr great our progress was on the project.
This is a great point. The initial Docker examples make everything seem easy, but we blew way past our estimated time in integrating docker into our workflow because of the points you mention. I am still happy with the choice to use docker though and our team will be better at server administration in the future.

One thing about this getting started guide is that it recommends the Phusion base image which boots init. That seems to go against the best practices outlined in a recent article by Michael Crosby - http://crosbymichael.com/dockerfile-best-practices-take-2.ht...

I'm taking flying lessons, and the Flight Design CTLS I'm in has one of these systems. I believe you can use it up to like 80 knots or more. I have to remember to take the pin out at the end of the run up, and back in when shutting down.

When they first came out, there was some reports that they they caused just as much loss of life as they prevented, but I think the stats are now in favor of them. They're not really meant to protect the plane but the pilot and passengers.

As far as a rule of thumb I think my instructor said that once something goes wrong in flight, it's the insurance company's plane, so just try like hell to survive and forget about aircraft damage. There have also been many incidents where the chute was used, and the plane eventually flew again.

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate the support!
Good feedback. Still iterating on the messaging – at this stage, we are still figuring out how to describe the product.

When you begin incorporating ES into your application, roughly you’d be thinking about:
1. Figuring out the structure of your data and translating that into ES’s mapping
2. Learning the query syntax (the ES docs assume you already know Lucene, not usually the case.)
3. Setup an ingest workflow and keeping your indexed data in sync
4. Securing your cluster if you want to hit ES directly from the browser/API client
5. Maintaining your cluster

Silota attempts to solve 3, 4, 5. Improving documentation helps with 2.

There’s an e-commerce search example here: http://www.silota.com/docs/api/ecommerce-product-search-exam...
And that GUI layer could be just Views in the end, since it seems you can even re-use ViewModels/Controllers.

This is why I don't share really good ideas.

You can say that ideas are worthless, but when you put a good idea in the head of someone with more time, drive, or resources than you, you will create competition (and possibly put yourself out of business before you start).

My last couple of business ideas (which now make me good money) came from someone blabbing about it on an Internet forum. My idea was a little different of course, but it did directly compete.
I think this was true a year ago, but mobile browsers are getting better and projects like this and Ionic (ionicframework.com) are quickly closing the gap between native and HTML5.
Shouldn't a prosecutor either recuse themselves, or at least consult subject-matter experts before proceeding with a prosecution over a subject about which they admittedly have insufficient knowledge? Is that not part of a lawyer's or at least a prosecutor's code of professional conduct?
Tell me again how either of these arguments help the folks who lost their money to MtGox's sloppiness? How is the MtGox debacle (or the other recent BitCoin exchange failures) an example of the lack of need for "standard accounting controls" or "fraud prevention measures"? They are the opposite.
To be honest: Some enterprises can operate fully within the law without ever experiencing a conflict of interest (example: you sew clothes, and sell them).
Some enterprises operate completely without regard of the law (example: drug smuggling, extortion, slave trade), and correspondingly have to hide a very large part of their operations from law enforcement.
A third category of enterprises has goals that are at least partly in conflict with the goals of laws and regulations. This obviously happens very frequently when said laws and regulations are set up for the protection of employees, farm animals, the environment, customers, market entrants, etc. in their respective role, versus employers in general, mass-production of animal products, exploitation of natural resources, selling of legal stimulants such as alcohol and tobacco. This third kind of company usually only hide part of their operations from law enforcement or the public, because their business model is compatible with compatible goals, but they are often seen (i) suppressing information about certain parts of their business, (ii) practicing aggressive lobbying and (iii) relying heavily on legal counsel in order to stay within the law while pursuing their business activities.
Basic economic sense tells you that retaining lobbyists and legal counsel costs money, hence organizations that don't need it would never spend money on either. "Complex regulatory regimes" usually don't happen by themselves, but because the people making laws are driven (by private or public interests) to assume that it is necessary to influence what companies and individuals do.

Tails 0.23 released
This hack didn't rely on doing anything with iOS other than sniffing the traffic iOS sent to AT&T. I think what they were attempting to say was that Xcode's iOS simulator may've been employed.

Another interesting fact: weev did not actually write or run the script that harvested the data, or talk to AT&T's servers. That was all Daniel "JacksonBrown" Spitler, who was sentenced to 18 months of probation. weev simply shared the list of harvested data with Gawker, under the condition that it be redacted if published, as proof that the leak had occurred.

Think about that; the guy who actually did the hacking got probation. The guy who simply alerted the media to the hacking got 41 months.

The really cool thing, IMO, is the City of Boston app. You can report anything- grafitti, potholes, "can we plant a tree here please," and of course "the neighbor is leaving the trash out/marking a parking spot with a barrel/smells."

The cool thing is that the reports are all public and you can follow up on yours until they respond.

From a city manager's perspective, this must be terrifying- if more reports come in than you can handle. If you CAN handle the volume, though, it's pretty awesome.
Here's what I would do:

$400 for the template
$200 for variation of template
$50-$75 per page, depending on complexity

If the template is super fancy you may need to charge more. Special application coding (custom PHP, ASP, C#, etc.) code at hourly $75 or more per hour.

Here is my recommendation (I am learning web apps myself)

- Learn HTML/CSS/Javascript first if you don't know already. Build a static HTML page before you get into the dynamic client/server stuff. This sounds simple but many people lack the basic understanding of HTML/CSS.

- Server: DigitalOcean ($5/mo). It is a great choice and balance between crappy shared hosts and expensive dedicated servers in terms of ease of use, cost and setup required.

- Language/Framework: I suggest Python and Flask (happy to see few others suggesting the same). Why python ? Just a preference. But if you do choose python, I would highly recommend Flask. It is "micro" enough that you don't have to worry about too much boilerplate that you don't understand at first but powerful enough that you can create a simple web app in no time. Once you understand flask, you can try larger frameworks like Django which have all batteries included. As a learner, I don't recommend Django right away because it does too much magic which means you won't understand what's happening behind the scenes. Flask makes you think about that.

- Database: Go with Postgresql or even mysql. Don't think about NoSQL stuff at the beginning. If you really want to keep it simple, start with sqllite

The above items should get you started with web dev learning basics.
