There is a middle ground I would hope, and you do appear to be in it. Apologies about the tone, but getting screwed out of opportunities by (supremely obvious, to the point I suspect less obvious ones in other cases) 'old boy' connections is infuriating. Especially when I actually like the people benefiting from it, and none of them actually like participating in it. So I'm taking my anger out on anonymous people on the internet while I still have no empathy for them...

Perhaps it's a definition problem. When I say 'old boys club' I'm thinking of those groups of powerful people who scratch each others backs for jobs. People who promote based off of networking rather than qualifications, and who often discriminate against many other groups, often not promoting them in favour of under-qualified people who are part of the network.

I'm not saying tell them they are stupid or anything. But perhaps stop participating in their group?
The more this story unfolds, the more I realize just how wrong I was about how I thought things like FlightAware and everything involved in tracking an airplane works.

What exactly is the barrier between just having two way satellite communications on every plane for the purposes of tracking and reporting its location?

More than one hypervisor per machine is not a good idea. You'll get the same problem with Intel HAXM and VMware as well.

To be fair the problem with this is that the whole Intel virtualization architecture is hacked on the side (as is every other damn feature since the 80186).

That is a seriously good idea, love it.

I made doing because I get manic and don't even realize I'm switching to a new task until I've already forgotten what I was doing before. It's probably not an issue for most people. So, for me, I have Day One pop up every hour and ask me what I'm doing, which then gets converted to a "WWID" file in nvALT via the library in doing (and Hazel). If I do remember to track between tasks, I just jot it off on the command line.

I love the idea of a timer, though. I do use Timing to do something similar. http://timingapp.com/

And the organization by nested CSVs has some great potential for longer-term data collection.

Can you explain why that's not a good idea? I have no clue, really, but I'm guessing something about libraries.
djb once wrote a FORTH-like interpreter.

Anyone get that old code to run today?

I have always thought think LISP/Scheme's "best" use is to write code generators (e.g., that output C or asm). I know there's at least one LISP/Scheme project that outputs C, so I know I'm not alone in thinking this can be useful.

FORTH has always seemed better suited to driving hardware than any LISP/Scheme.

This is some sort of bias perhaps. These are both very flexible languages.

What if historically programmers tried to use FORTH for "AI" and LISP as a "portable assembler"?
You can sue AirBnB. You'd say it is expensive, but "legally appeal" is always a pretty expensive thing to do.

And, as far as I know, the regulatory agencies do not have actual legal obligation to consistently enforce their regulations - they have a very wide discretion, so if they want to ignore you, you don't have a lot of recourse. In fact, lately we have a lot of instances of executive powers modifying and plainly abandoning enforcing the laws they don't like. You don't have a lot of options in such case.

Why would you need VNC?

You only need a browser. On the machine on which you thought you were going to run the VNC client, you open the browser and go to beets’s web UI. Then you pick some music to play, and beets streams it to the browser, which plays it on that machine.

If you actually want the Pi itself to be playing music, then you probably want not the beets web plugin but the BPD plugin, which emulates an MPD server. You can use any MPD client you want to control it – CLI on the Pi, one of the GUI apps over the network, whatever.

No matter what, VNC doesn’t enter the picture.
Really? Of all things, this is what we need?

I think the criticism of Monsanto is fair.

"Agent Orange was manufactured for the U.S. Department of Defense primarily by Monsanto Corporation and Dow Chemical."

"According to Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 4.8 million Vietnamese people were exposed to Agent Orange, resulting in 400,000 people being killed or maimed, and 500,000 children born with birth defects"

I'm using a 13" retina MBP with Kubuntu, and I wouldn't describe the hidpi support as awful.

You need to make sure that X has the right DPI setting and additionally make some explicit adjustments like resizing the mouse cursor and choosing big icons for everything. Once that is set right, KDE programs work nicely. Some non-KDE programs (such as Spotify) are rendered pixel by pixel the same as on a regular/low dpi screen.

So there are some glitches, but for day to day use it is absolutely workable :)
I think it has something to do with this:

Or you know they could try to promote more mixed use properties, which is what most people actually want.

It's very clear that city centers are growing everywhere because that's what young people are gravitating towards. It's a lifestyle thing and if they don't consider the lifestyle people aspire to in their future plans, they are going to go bankrupt again.

Take a look at SF for an example. Many people would love to live in the few blocks surrounding the commercial areas of the Mission, the Haight (upper and lower), North Beach, Union Street, Hayes Valley, etc. Those areas are desirable because they are supremely convenient. They are the "modern mall" because they are also the "timeless mall", i.e. the mall that naturally forms when people decide where they want to shop instead of corporate overseers. It's a pattern that exists everywhere in the world in big modern cities to small towns designed before the advent of the car.

Betting on mixed use buildings creates "captive demand", since your commercial store customers conveniently live right upstairs. And they are happy to live in such buildings because they provide the ultimate access by foot to food, bars, supermarkets and other businesses that enrich their lifestyle.

There are a few thing they need to do to make such mixed use properties desirable.

* Mixed use properties need authentic business with unique identity instead of franchises (e.g. a building with a starbucks and a moe's underneath it isn't as desirable as one with a neighborhood coffee shop and a local burrito joint).
* The deals struck by commercial owner's associations (COAs) need to consider the needs of the HOA which is often formed after the COA for any mixed use property. Any property (like the Beacon in SF) where the COA has unfair deals that prejudice the residents of a building often end up in litigation that suppresses the value of the the property in the building causing the building to move to having more renters than owners.

Unfortunately many of the new building projects in SF don't take this into account. There are a ton of new projects going up south of the ballpark. All those properties will be filled because of the extremely limited stock of housing, but they are not going to be desirable places to live because of how few of those properties are designed to be mixed use, which is what will make that area feel like a neighborhood instead of a vertical suburb that you need to leave in order to visit a commercial center.
This is nothing new, anyone in the SEO world knows that this has been possible for years. It's not particularly long lasting as a strategy but it can be leveraged for things like link spam via massive amounts of cloaking sites.
>Instead of "reinventing malls", how about "reinventing" what's left of the downtown shopping district in cities and towns?

This is happening, big time.

It is insane, when I was growing up the downtown was scary. Not only were there very few places to go, it was crime ridden and a blight. If you wanted to go shopping or to a restaurant you had to go to the suburbs, mostly the suburban mall. In the last several years, downtown has completely transformed. I live far away and ever time I come back there is TONS of new stuff there. About 6-7 years ago I now see the few things that were starting to come in was the beginnings of this revitalization.

> However, those varieties are just extremely unlikely to be as consistently high-yielding as the latest commercial varieties.

Are GMO crops really consistently high yielding? I've heard of some statistics that showed this wasn't actually the case. I don't have any source at hand, but I recall reading that in Europe, where GMO crops are far more restricted than in the US, crop yields actually grew faster over the past decades than in the US, where GMO crops are common.

Also, monoculture makes your crop awfully vulnerable to new diseases. Genetic diversity is much more robust.

I believe the logic was that "google.com" always does the redirect, because people tend to type google.com manually into their address bar a lot. Google has never bothered to set up any other redirects itself.

Other services that Google has acquired, though (e.g. Blogger, Youtube, etc.) may have come pre-set-up with redirection logic, and Google has mostly left that untouched.
Overwhelming majority of rental cases on AirBnB are ending very well. I just recently used AirBnB to stay a week in a 1br apartment owned by a nice family in a great location for 1/3 of the price I'd pay for more inferior hotel. I would never think of doing anything to harm my hosts. 99% people think the same. Of course, there's also 1% of the rest, but if you live your life worrying about the percentage of psychos in the population, you only will be hurting yourself.
This quote suggests more than one GitHub employee was in on it at the least:

'They purposefully allow this glaringly obvious mechanism for insulting and annoying their members and are actually involved in the joke. Until I broke their server they were all laughing at my "testing", then they were pissed when they had to fix the bug I found. If you don't believe me, look at the HackerNewsTips twitter account, which I know is astroturfed by a github employee.'

In one of the first few paragraphs, there's this block:

"The other piece of information you need to understand is that there's a sort of running hidden gag among the Ruby Iluminati (aka Rubynati) within San Francisco. Employees from Engine Yard, PowerSet, and ... github love this joke where they create code that generates ASCII art penis pictures and then force other people onto their project without permission. Here's another one called dicks by Martin Emde."

It's a shame that companies doing some useful things have to encourage a culture of brutish behavior.
I'm assuming its a computer related startup, but here are a few brief methods.

Website landing page:

- build a landing page
- explain the product and optionally post a mockup
- mention the price (optional but will give you a better proof of validation)
- collect at least an email address at the bottom
- optionally add a stripe checkout form (takes only a few min) and get some $

Kickstarter

Website or Shoppify or Etsy or Amazon stores:

- build one
- sell a trial run of the product

Physical product:

- Option 1: You can test on ebay or craigslist
- Option 2: Run one small ad in a magazine or newspaper

Bar method:

- Take the product(s) / apps to a bar
- Ask people to try it or offer to buy them 1 beer if they try it
- Try to actually sell it.
- Ask for feedback

MVP (Minimum viable product)

- Build only the basic features
- Build only a basic site
- Try to sell
- Lots more info on this out there

It would help to run at least some forms of advertising for almost all of these (sans ebay, kickstarter, and the bar method)

If you get orders you can't fulfill just say you are sold out and ask if they want you to contact them when you get more product.

If you have any others you care to share I would be interested to hear! Also good luck
I think the Pioneer Place mall in Portland, OR would be another interesting example. It's made of four separate buildings in the middle of downtown (underground parking only), connected by underground sections and skywalks, and directly adjacent to tram and bus transit stops. The buildings have an open atrium-style design, with skylight roofs that provide natural light all the way down to the connecting basement level.

How are shopping malls paragons of bureaucracy? Paragons of shallow consumerism, if anything... and while the DMV et all are surely dehumanizing and Kafkaesque, the mall is a special and unique sort of revolting to me. But different strokes...
You are wrong in the sense that CSS uses 'color', and not 'font-color' to describe the color of text within an element.

You aren't wrong in the sense that CSS's choice of using 'color', and not 'font-color' is completely ridiculous, and breaks convention with CSS itself. I'm a front-end developer using CSS on a daily basis, and this has always bothered me.
It looks like an introduction to FORTH via Kafka..

There is a nice browser interpreter here:

FORTH is in essence an accumulator CPU like the 68000, except it has an easier abstraction to define new instructions (aka "Words") to act like the + or . above.

To quote Pulp fiction "It's the little differences". I love going to malls and supermarkets when I'm in a new country or city. Sure they're 95% the same, but those other 5% are often unique for the area and quite telling.

It's only 0.01 NMC to buy a domain (plus a 0.005 transaction fee). The easy solution to the fixed-supply issue is that this registration fee could change by blockchain consensus if NMC started to become too scarce.

That said, I actually think the BitShares Domains model is a better fit for name registration: treat each domain like real estate, putting it up to the highest bidder (which makes squatting expensive). However, BTS Domains is probably a year away at least.

In either case, the most significant bit is browser/OS adoption. At the moment, not a single browser (even Firefox) supports .bit domains, except through plugins.
You're obviously not even trying to understand this.
I for one found it hilarious!
With the locked down antics that manufacturers are pulling these days, the only way to protect yourself is to root your device and install your preferred environment on it immediately after you obtain the device. Don't delay or procrastinate with excuses like wanting to try out the manufacturer's experience, waiting until you need the functionality, or wanting to prepare more. Every day you put it off, the more likely you will end up stuck with and dependent on a user-hostile device that you were tricked into.

You need to run into every possible incompatibility or bricking while you're still well within the return and credit card dispute periods. And if you're actually unsure of how to proceed in making sure that shiny new device actually works for you, please please ask a technical friend for help. The future of society very much depends on it.

Do they release more technical information on the exploits after the browser makers have had time to produce patches? The things these guys do always blow my mind.

At the same time it just reinforces the point that if you are targeted by an entity with enough resources there is pretty much nothing you can do to prevent exploitation. I am pretty sure all browsers get "pwned" at nearly all of these competitions.

This is so true it hurts and young people will avert their eyes from it. No one wants to believe that youth can be wasted in the pursuit of money and glory to spend in old age.
No, it's because writing software in C++ is like riding your bike in the middle lane of a highway with no helmet on.

If you're really really careful, it can work fine, and your trip will be efficient and productive. But it's really hard to do it properly -- you could hit a car (buffer overflow), you could get hit by someone (heap overflow), or your brakes might give out (input sanitization fail).

It's not that it's impossible or that it's a "bad idea", it's just that it'd be a lot safer to spend the extra resources on a motorcycle (Python) or an SUV (Rust).
These conclusions sound utterly meaningless - as in; useless from a policy perspective. Their core claim is that lifestyle management programs don't reduce health care costs - but so what? Are they measuring productivity? Motivation? Impact on other employees by example? Employee loyalty? Sick leave of participating employees and/or others they come in contact with? Stress+burnout?

And when it comes to costs, did they consider management distraction - as in, if you're doing this, what isn't the organization (management) focusing on?

This is a pointless article.
The point is that informal leaders have upper hand and support from big fish. Boris could have fight them, but he would loose and that would be it.

Informal leaders have power to change things the way they like. Formal leaders will run into difficulties every time they would try to implement something informal leaders do not like.

For example, informal leader in example is more likely to persuade the prince to take certain decision.
I totally agree: pandoc is amazing, this is just a weekend project that is a solution in search of a problem. I can just highlight github's markdown pretty print and tell iceweasel to print selection and select save as pdf instead of sending to cupsd queue.

To be clear this project:

1. Converts a certain unknown basic markdown syntax to html
(iff the filename is something that it recognizes[^1])
2. adds css for Merriweather, Open Sans, Dejavu Mono and a silly iconfont
(I prefer pandoc's pygments syntax highlighting over goofy icon)
3. renders html->pdf using webkit by way of phantomjs.

Pandoc to pdf at ROFLSCALE? Speculate no more:

$ pandoc -s -S -t html5 -o out.html README.md
$ wkhtmltopdf out.html out.pdf

or

$ pandoc -s -S -t html5 -o out.html README.md
$ phantomjs rasterize.js ./out.html out.pdf Letter

To be honest using pdflatex is just as fast as phantomjs/wkhtmltopdf.

The type checking joke is that I never compared gitit to pandoc. So don't worry about responding to any comment you think I made regarding gitit and pandoc.

Right now I am very into Dell's Precision notebooks. Rock solid hardware with official Ubuntu support.
If you want to be sure it runs Linux well (includes all the niceness like keyboard lights etc) go with something like https://www.system76.com/ who construct everything to work well with Linux.
Reminds me of the Ren & Stimpy episode where Stimpy enters his own belly button and disappears.
I'm super annoyed with the changes that Lenovo did to the Thinkpad line. I've been a longtime user and first they changed the keyboard style, then the layout, and then they got rid of the physical mouse buttons (requiring one to use the trackpad as a mouse button). Frankly, there is literally nothing compelling about Thinkpads anymore.

I'm the market and I test drove the XPS 13, which was very good. That being said, I've had HORRIBLE customer service experience with Dell in the past.

I'm in the market for a new laptop here very soon and I can't honestly think of a reason not to get a MacBook Pro w/ Retina and just throw Ubuntu on it. I know there are issues with the boot order, but seems like most of those are solved now.

Anyone have experience with recent MBP w/ Ubuntu?
