I wouldn't call 2012 terrible, but 2013 seemed a marked improvement to me. Little features and enhancements were sprinkled all over the place. Better Blend functionality is one enhancement I've noticed.
I was speaking to someone in the esports industry yesterday who said that DDoS attacks have become a real problem in high tier tournaments. Apparently you can get a bot net which is more than capable of blowing out the whole opposing team for as low as $100.
Yes but hvacs aren't spraying scalding or (worse) cold water on your half-awake self.
I'm sorry your specific feelings were hurt, but I found it mildly amusing.
So I think a lot of people are misunderstanding -- I definitely recognize that it is a moral question in whether the greater populace is justified in doing those things.

But I wanted to make it clear, that you shouldn't skip over the fact that the law making body may be trampling on a human right. It sure seems like a human right to be as shitty as you want. Or to be as left-leaning as you want. Or to be as conservative as you want. The problem is if the right Government is in place, all these things will either be controlled or suppressed. We're forced to do a lot of things in our society, but generally everyone takes a second to think about forcing people to think about things that step on rights.
In examples, magic numbers are OK. It's in large production systems (that will require tuning, which becomes impossible with "magic numbers") that they're a code smell. I'd much rather, in a small example, see:

new int[2048];

than

#define TWENTYFORTYEIGHT 2048
new int[TWENTYFORTYEIGHT];

Also, it's generally OK to use a "magic number" if you know that the constant will only be used in that one place, or that there is no way it will ever change. Where they're bad is when they represent undocumented constraints across a program (i.e. "this 64 and that 64 are the same and can't be changed independently".)
sig=0.05, but please don't trust that for anything meaningful. This is sloppy 8am blog post response statistics. My personal confidence is basically 0. I just wanted to communicate the idea that 60 impressions was insufficient to make this judgement.

People are mentioning caloric restriction not being worth it for humans because of quality of life vs length of life.

However one thought that I find interesting, is that for our generation, living just two or three extra years could potentially make a huge difference.

If you subscribe to the idea of a coming technological singularity, or even to the idea that we're a few decades away from SENS escape velocity, you'd hate to miss it by just a couple of years.
I thought about doing CR for a while - I read the "120 Year Diet," and was considering giving it a try. Then I met up with a couple who was into hardcore CR. I had dinner with them. Two things made me decide not to do it:

1) they seemed frail and weak - the man seemed to have a constant runny nose. I felt that if he fell down he would break his hip. The risk of injury and death from physical weakness seemed like it would counter any benefits from CR for lifespan.

2) They put so much effort into measuring every ingredient, and running computer programs with recipes to get the optimal nutrients with as little calories as possible. It seemed to take so much time in preparation, and you could mostly only eat at home.

Well, orgasm results in a surge of prolactin which is known to have certain negative effects. There's arguably a case for keeping orgasm frequency low.
Just thinking all futurism here, but it could be useful in the case where we don't need as much physical activity but rely more on thinking, or if we have things pretty automated and just need to wait for things that take a long time.
A lot of people are jumping to extremes. I don't take this to mean I should starve myself. Instead this does encourage me to stop eating until I'm full, just until I'm no longer hungry.

Yes, they do. CTR and CPI on mobile app ads on FB used is still among the best performing.
I assume you are a mobile app developer looking for a job.

I don't know a single user who enjoy being sent to a mobile app instead of the website.

If being hated by your users is not enough of a deterrent, then factor in the cost of building said apps on mobile platforms and maintaining them through time and new smartphones versions while having a website versus simply having a website.

Unless you're a big corp with tons of money to throw out the windows, the wise path is a well thought and designed website.
Are you in Scotland? Solicitors haven't been unambiguously upper class until fairly recently, being a barrister has always been respectable but as far as the upper reaches of society were concerned a solicitor was a kind of clerk.

The two first degrees requirement is nauseatingly classist, almost as disgusting a waste of life as the US system of legal or medical education.
To be fair, monkeys eating a bunch of processed lab grade crap is probably a better approximation for the modern human than an optimal diet.
There's a good analysis for this phenomenon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVfHeWTKjag

It was posted on HN a while back. The gist is that there's a high chance that your ad was clicked by click farms, even though you bought it legitimately from facebook (in an effort to fool clickfarm detection, apparently).

What's even more interesting is that not only are you wasting money buying the ads, you also end up with less legitimate "likers" seeing your content because of the way facebook propagates new posts. So you're actually paying to get negative results.
I think these scientists should starve themselves instead of animals. It's called having skin in the game.
Yes. Here's a video (by youtube user Veritasium) that walks through an experiment and explanation, for those who are interested.

Look around your local area for meetups for a language you enjoy, interact and participate with the Open Source community if that is not possible, and paradoxically the harder you try to think of the Next Big Thing the harder time your brain will have. Start off first by building something you think is cool and not necessarily a great idea.
Move to a city with a concentration of people in the Industry you want to work in i.e Silicon Valley for Technology, New York for Finance , Paris for Fashion etc. Whilst it doesn't guarantee success, it will increase your odds. Remember whatever idea you come up with doesn't really matter, what matters is execution.
The entire "chemical imbalance" model is a lie designed to make drugs easier to sell, and here's a simple pair of facts which prove that the science is bunk:

SSRIs increase levels of serotonin at the synapse when administered by preventing serotonin re-uptake and recycling, improving mood.

SSREs decrease levels of serotonin at the synapse when administered by enhancing serotonin re uptake and recycling, improving mood.

Two drugs with opposite effects achieve the same qualitative result, even though it can't be said that they produce similar quantitative results. Thus, vastly different quantitative profiles are correlated with the same qualitative results; X + 1 = X - 1.

On top of that, there's no way to even measure levels of synaptic neurotransmitters in vivo.

From an article:

Yahoo has also turned on HTTPS encryption on its home page, search queries that run on the home page and most of its properties. Yahoo supports TLS 1.2, Perfect Forward Secrecy and 2048-bit RSA encryption for its home page, mail and digital magazines, Stamos said. He added that users can initiate encrypted sessions for Yahoo News, Sports, Finance and Good Morning America on Yahoo by typing HTTPS in the URL. He also promised an encrypted version of Yahoo Messenger in the coming months.

I don't think OP is looking for PFS. I think he's looking for perfect encryption end-to-end so only he can decrypt the content, which means Yahoo will only receive an encrypted payload which Yahoo! cannot decrypt.

I haven't read through all of the author's content yet, but there is a certain benefit to using magic numbers in introductory material. Numbers impose very little conceptual overhead on people, especially "familiar" numbers like 2048 or other common buffer sizes. This allows the reader to save their precious meatspace memory for storing the novel concepts the author introduces.

But it depends how the code is presented. "Here's an example of..." is different than "Here's how you should do..."
I'd be really curious to see best practices for smaller startups. We've never been hit with a DDOS, but bot attacks seem pretty commonplace. I'd love to see the open source community come together to create some mitigation strategies, though I admit I don't know what they would entail.

Ads that direct to web on mobile just don't perform as well
While it's definitely possible that OP's ad campaign sucks, that's not the main point in the article, so how come many comments focus on that?

The post's conclusion is that there's a strong indication of Facebook charging for mis-clicks and double charging for non-unique clicks.
Yup copy on the destination, copy on the ad itself can change the conversion rate quite a bit too if you're attracting the wrong sorts of people for your product. Too many variables left unexplored with 1 or 2 ads on one traffic source to one landing page.
Sounds more like a bug than a backdoor. I would think spaces aren't an allowed character. Likely their validation regex didn't expect a series of spaces, and this edge case not being caught, somehow allows access.
Ageing has been such an insurmountable problem, any methods that indicate that there are ways to somewhat control it are promising and can lead to other discoveries.

Perhaps CR only invokes the release of hormones that have a protective effect on cells. Replicate the hormone and perhaps actual caloric restriction may not be necessary.

I'm not in HR, but have previously heard that it's a tremendously bad idea to put a picture on a resume. The advice was all predicated on HR departments being extremely risk-adverse when it comes to discrimination claims.

A picture of someone pretty much immediately reveals age, sex, race, and could easily reveal religion (think a muslim or sikh) and disability status. Which pretty much covers the list of things you're not allowed to discriminate against.

It entirely depends on how that condition materialized. Would I be hungry forever (but somehow live)? Then no.

If I would never be hungry, then that sounds wonderful.

He helped strip a civil right from gay people. That's discriminatory treatment. More evidence is not needed for people to have a reasonable fear of further discrimination.

"We haven't detected X, ergo X doesn't exist" is an obviously false notion. It's false even in the same situation, but it's even more obviously wrong in a different one. As CTO, he would have had a hard time making a bigoted technical decision. But as CEO, he's in charge of all sorts of stuff where a subtle bias could be expressed, and there's no longer an executive above him who could hold him accountable.
In my experience, aliasing numbers to words has never improved any code in any way whatsoever, and sometimes causes more headaches since numbers are easy and natural to reason about numerically (big surprise...), while values such as TWENTYFORTYEIGHT impose more mental overhead and open you up to typos.

It strikes me as a symptom of the "magic numbers are evil witchcraft" religion gone to the extreme. The whole point of banishing magic numbers is to improve code's clarity and robustness to change. I've seen

#define ZERO 0

and

#define ONE 1

more times than I care to admit. I have yet to see the value of either change.

Those likes are coming from black hat marketing.

If you pay for 500 likes, and 500 different accounts are created to like your page its obvious your page is gaming the system. Likewise, if you have a voting ring of 500, its easy to see what pages those 500 accounts are liking. However, if you have a voting ring that votes randomly while ensuring anyone that pays gets 500 of the votes then its much harder to find out who is gaming the system.
My bad, I just keep cutting/pasting to the list whenever people post their own lists. I've cleaned it up and removed duplicates here:

Oh boy, you brought the Bible into the discussion. Brave.

> Even the bible says, "You will know them by their fruits,"

With a little more context: http://bible.com/59/mat.7.15-20.esv

For those not used to reading the Bible. "Them" in this case is referring to people who claim to be followers of Christ. A subset of those people are labelled as "false prophets", people with positions of influence in a "church" (a teacher, pastor, or other leader). The "you will know them by their fruits" bit is a way for the genuine follower of Christ to identify a "false prophet" when deciding whether or not the leader is following Christ. Namely, that there should be evidence in their lives of that following.

If you want to go way out on a limb (heh, puns) and you support same-sex marriage, you could use this text as consolation that if Brendan Eich is a "tree that bears bad fruit", he'll be going to hell.

I'm disinclined to believe that there are many here who want to really get into what the Bible says about homosexuality, but if so, I'm game.
Also all the insulting shows that the possible vision of 'marriage as a social institution' has not entered into their heads.

The example of 'property' is good because it is also a social institution and it is something which one cannot take for granted (there are societies ---hippies--- which deny the existence of it). When some minority claims their right to property (for example, the 'poor') or claim that the 'right to property' is harming them, what shall we do?

Are we bigots because we insist on the right to 'property'?
Not really, I used to work at one of the main Facebook SPMDs so I'm saying that out of having seen the performance of mobile app campaigns on advertisers that spend $100k+ a day on fb.

I don't see why you would be hated by your users? The ad makes it super clear that it's an app, it takes you straight to the app store where you can read reviews / description / screenshots and then you just install it.

I think you are making the mistake of thinking that the average user is like you, most people will just want to get the app ASAP when they see an ad for something that seems useful; not having to navigate a website which doesn't have a mobile version (try budgetsimple.com in an android phone, it's impossible to use !)
OK crusso. I like the way you think.
