I actually have some projects on hold, all of them seem to capture interest of prospects. But this is the one that is not on hold and why.

- Prospect is a client with 100 employees

- I know the right hand of the CEO (his function is called Special Operations)

- They have an intern that will do data-entry for the next month

- There was a partner meeting on 28 april to discuss the application, but it's been delayed (Busy people over there), but all together + the webapp was deployed 3 days before and the intern didn't had any time to manually input data. So it's for the best

- My expenses could all get payed (currently doing it for free, in my own time), they should be my first big client.

- They will have a deep integration with it (importing newsletters, ...)

- I can sell the application to others.

All in all, what have i learned (and it has been adviced multiple times, just experienced them in real life)

- Get early feedback, when i first discussed the web application, i said that i had an idea that would address his problem, i explained it and i asked him of he could wait another month so, that i would have a early prototype with a minimum of features. I did and he could visuallize the solution and he loved it. 12 people in the company want to contact me (early testers), but i only want to talk through my friend (he is the consultant in this case). He is kinda doing the promotion for me in the company, now i think about it

- Build fast, fail fast. A problem isn't bad, it's how you solve it. I use a github repository to address issues. Get to know the people who have a technical experience employed at your client. Get them to understand that not everything will go smoothly, but you will be on top of it, if there are problems.

- If you're developping a webapp for other people also, you can solve the problems like they want it to. Or you make a general solution and explain them why. You can always find some corner cases where their proposed solution wouldn't work or where there could be dificulties. Explain it to them! Don't be afraid to put something on hold and prioritize your features. You only have x hours a day :)
BMW multi tool v5.9 more powerful than AK300
Do you have the confusion of finding what kind of BMW key programmer for your vehicles? Here I am sharing with you two, BMW multi tool v5.9 and AK300, former one is powerful than the latter.

BMW multi tool v5.9 is the newest version of BMW Multi Tool which is the most powerful BMW key programmer. It not only supports CAS1, CAS2, CAS3, CAS3+, but also can be used to do BMW CAS4 key programmer with CAS4 adapter. Via OBD2 port, it can program keys for BMW.

AK300 is also a BMW key programmer, which supports vehicles from 2002 to 2009 year, especially designed for CAS system BMW, including new BMW CAS, CAS2, CAS3 and CAS3+. Whats more, it also automatically analyzes CAS data, and is easy to match keys.

To sum up, BMW multi tool v5.9 is more powerful than AK300, meanwhile it is much expensive than AK300. Therefore, you could select one meeting your budget and demand.
Big problem with Firefox: it doesn't vacuum places.sqlite.

You can work around this (a) vacuuming it by hand or (b) just deleting it (losing all your visited links).

I did this and Firefox is suddenly as fast as Chromium. (Xubuntu 14.04, 4GB RAM.)
echo is idempotent

As a simple call, yes. But there are many shell tricks (redirection, command substitution, process substitution) that can make an echo call have significant side effects - so if you were daft enough to be considering this you'd need to do much more checking before submitting the provided instruction to your shell, and those checks would need to know which shell you were targeting (in fact you'd probably want to force the issue by exec()ing a specific shell instead of just using the default for the user the code is running as).
> These back and forth studies screaming 'coffee is a super-food' and then 'coffee is poison' are an example. They give the public an impression that we scientists don't have a clue.

I think that is more the fault of the type of science journalism the public is exposed to. The paper says "compound extracted from coffee found to enhance cell uptake of flavonoids in mice" and the media screams "coffee: the new superfood?"

Weak science is one thing, but no matter how strong the science is you can count on the media to get it wrong.

You're not the only one. I can't remember the last time Firefox crashed on me. I fill those tabs up real good. It does a fine job on both my medium-spec work computer and high spec home gaming PC!

Chrome isn't for me, it's one-core-per-tab thing is not something I need or want. I hate the idea of the browser using too much system resources, I prefer how Firefox does it.

Your Flat-File "CMS" is not a CMS – 2013
I think the "prototype" analogue borrowed from engineering to software is a bit problematic. I don't believe there is such a thing as a "working prototype" in software. It either works or it doesn't. If it works and that's what business needs in the production environment, then ship it already. Nothing wrong with that.

The problems start arising when the issues of scalability and maintenance were not considered part of the prototype development. And this problem does not only affect "carcinogenic prototypes" [sic] ... such problems manifest, and do so regularly, with software projects that had multi-year deadlines and good intentions all-round vis-à-vis scalability and easy maintenance.
Of course. They should suffer the loss of ALL their users if you ask me. If anyone here is still using Skype, I wonder what kind of community this is and what kind of future we are building..

> What we really need is a fork of Firefox.

The Pale Moon and Cyberfox browsers are forks of Firefox and they will not merge the Australis UI. I'm already using and liking Pale Moon, it's still not on par with Opera 12.17 though but is better than Firefox.

I'll see how Australis looks like on my boxes, but I'm not very hopeful: I like having a proper menu bar, tabs at the very bottom of the window, and a status bar, I couldn't care less for a touch-like interface on a desktop where I have a functioning mouse and keyboard.
Well, in a sense maybe, but not on purpose there. The programmer had missed a bounds check.

> Most C++ code uses switch frequently, usually without taking advantage of fallthrough.

I am not so sure about this. Thinking back on my uses of switch in C and C++, I am not able to remember using switch without taking advantage of fallthrough. Maybe I am just not a typical C++ programmer...
That is exactly what happened :(

Mine does too. Probably performance-related; Chrome does have a tendency to waste huge amounts of memory.

Smooth scrolling is nicer than jumping in my opinion, but firefox gives an option for the latter if people want it.
Don't forget that they can lie to you about what punishments you are facing.
When you're sending it to an individual customer, by definition you're not publishing it

That would be relevant if copyright law concerned itself with publishing. It doesn't. It concerns itself with copying, and specifically with the distinction of authorized vs. unauthorized copying, mediated by certain exceptions and/or affirmative defenses, key among the latter, the affirmative defense to infringement (not an exception to copyright) of fair use.

As it's currently written in the US and throughout much of the world, there's little doubt that PersonalPaper.me's business model isn't based on wholesale copyright infringement. Not that this hasn't stopped other services (YouTube, imgur, etc.).

Mind: I don't necessarily agree with this -- I think copyright has been grossly overdeveloped to the point that it's a net drag on creativity, information distribution, and economic activity in general.
>- Eye candy is nice. Not everyone lives in the 90s and wants a clickable version of Lynx.

Then why are Mozilla removing everything? I like eye candy too. A metro-ified, totally bare browser without even a status bar is the complete opposite.

Oh, and links has mouse support via GPM.

>- Configuration options are as useful as the users make it. There was a massive outrage on here when Firefox removed the javascript switch, yet that is one of the best decision they made for their userbase.

Because everyone switched to NoScript instead.
"Look at me, I implement this on every site I write"

Even if you could write perfect assembly, sticking it in your program makes it more difficult for optimizations to flow across the assembly you have written because it is opaque to the compiler.

Better yet, imagine that the compiler has performed value range propagation [1] to determine that the range checks, after inlining, were redundant or simply elidable. This would be infeasible if it were written in assembly.

Well, I think the benefits of the 6-hour day would disappear then. IIRC correctly research shows that productivity falls steeply after 5 hours at work, with hour 6-8 being at 75% producitity, and after that 50% (approximately). So having 3x10 days would kill the benefit of increased producitivity during the time you are at work, while still costing as much.
A few thoughts:

1. Not all jobs are created equal, and not all unemployed persons are qualified or capable of performing all jobs. There would still be a mismatch in positions available and workers to fill those positions; without "perfect" alignment a community productivity deficit would continue, moving the costs around instead of eliminating them.

2. It'd become politically desirable to disproportionately point these efforts at industries where it'd be easier to integrate the unemployed ranks (lower skill set barriers to entry). This would have an effect of reducing profit margins in those sectors given the increased overhead of a larger workforce for an unpredictable amount of productivity change. One expects if the total labor hours are the same, economic output of an individual entity in that economy would be equal while personnel costs would increase.

3. There will always be a small portion of the working populace out of work for legitimate reasons.

And, please do a little Googling on seasonal work. In the US, for example, millions of jobs fluctuate between seasons depending on buying and production trends. That's not small peas, so to speak.

Opera's recent ui change atleast had a purpose.. they were trying to innovate and bring forth the browser features that their stars determined people use most.

Firefox here. As far as I can tell is just saying "ok we decided to shuffle the buttons around again"

Haven't been using firefox since they switched their patch number schema. But I still feel a little sad seeing them seal their own fate.
The governing parties of the city doing this experiment are left-wing, which tend to be stuck in that kind of thinking. There aren't many factory workers anymore in Sweden, so I guess it's based on some kind of revolutionary romantic notion or whatnot.

I'm curious about how you're establishing that the people objecting to this are the same people who were early adopters of Google search.

I was an early adopter of Google search back in the late 90s but I'm not that bothered about what they're doing with plus (I'd rather they were handling it differently but I'll take it or leave it).

I do see that some of the people who are objecting are potentially significant voices - I tried to reflect this in my post by saying they were people who had thought this through - but sadly having a good point doesn't mean that you'll always win the argument, particularly where massive commercial concerns are involved.
I assumed it reads more or less like:

Or, probably, more like:

That's the thing: technical debt is the cost of innovation.

Edit: "Technical debt has to be the acceptable cost of rapid and affordable innovation."

We can't talk about (technical) debt without recognising the commensurate leverage it provides to business. If a debt does not continue leveraging the business, then and only then, can it be considered carcinogenic. And the only reliable solution then is to simply switch the solution off or replace it.
I also live in Stockholm Sweden and Im furious over how its becoming the norm here to not strive to become anything. Never take risks.

The plan here is to work for a midsize company with a good secure reputation, have kids and then just do the bare minimum until you retire.

I think its undermining the intellectual capital we have to not be ambitious, not work hard and not accomplish more than the bare minimum.

I work a lot more than 6 hours a day. I run two startups, about to quit my fulltime job to do said startup. I have 7 am meetings, I work weekends and nights.

Dont forget that CSS based animation is a declarative based animation framework while Velocity.js is using imperative code to animate (while the calls look declarative, the code in the framework has to be bundled with your js).

The advantage of the declarative approach, is that browser can improve the CSS animations in every browser update. Also, in theory, browsers could improve CSS animation in such a way that is is always faster than velocity.js.

You could for example make a CSS-animation to velocity.js compiler. Browser do this compilation (not to velicity.js but to native code/operations) already. Thats why it surprises me that velocity.js is saying its faster than pure CSS animations.

Can somebody enlighten me on why this is the case?

> Just because adblock is popular doesn't mean everyone is using it, and as much as I don't like it, advertisers rely on that... it could seriously damage the web if they did that.

The sites that suffer the most from adblocking are those that provide very little benefit for the user anyway: splogs, linkfarms, and other very contentless things built solely to lure users in for adverts. While I don't use adblock myself (I use a filtering proxy instead), seeing that part of the internet die off, and possibly a return to something closer to the noncommercialised web of the 90s where the signal-to-noise ratio was much higher, IMHO is a very good thing. Although there are some good ad-supported sites that may die off, in my experience the sites that contain lots of very good, detailed information are unlikely to contain ads too. It's a bit like chemotherapy...

I found the 2010 Discover Magazine article, I believe referenced in the American Scholar article (the stuff about Torrey and HERV-W), fascinating. A couple of excepts:

"One, published by Perron in 2008, found HERV-W in the blood of 49 percent of people with schizophrenia, compared with just 4 percent of healthy people."

...
"In the past few years, geneticists have pieced together an account of how Perron’s retrovirus entered our DNA. Sixty million years ago, a lemur like animal—an early ancestor of humans and monkeys—contracted an infection. It may not have made the lemur ill, but the retrovirus spread into the animal’s testes (or perhaps its ovaries), and once there, it struck the jackpot: It slipped inside one of the rare germ line cells that produce sperm and eggs. When the lemur reproduced, that retrovirus rode into the next generation aboard the lucky sperm and then moved on from generation to generation, nestled in the DNA. “It’s a rare, random event,” says Robert Belshaw, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Oxford in England. “Over the last 100 million years, there have been only maybe 50 times when a retrovirus has gotten into our genome and proliferated.”"

And then our bodies reaction to HERV-W seems to be involved in most schizophrenia. It's odd to think of modern problems like that being down to an ancestor getting a virus millions of generations ago.

Bizarre Astronomy: star that is cold as ice
A layout like this means you can use both sides of the motherboard for I/O slots. So in a 1/2u box, you can get more than one or two expansion cards in place. The PCI slots themselves seem to be hammock connectors, which I was curious about too, and googling doesn't seem to have any info, unless it's too early/late and I'm missing the obvious.
Maybe these Connectors are for daughterboards with Centaur Chips + RAM. (A Power8 can connect to 8 Centaur Chips where the RAM is connected)

In UK, prices are always inclusive of VAT. Going back to the U.S. pricing model after that is annoying to say the least. A price discrepancy leaves room for dispute unless you add "fine print" for "hidden fees", both of which are frowned upon to the extent that many products market themselves as having no "hidden fees". Consumers never benefit from any of it, only companies do.

I don't consider that much of a loss.

Other than that, it means people can't mine bitcoin with my CPUs and power bill, I'm immune to ~90% of browser-only exploits (as opposed to ones in things like flash, PDFs, etc., which I am still far less likely to get hit by than a javascript(flash, etc.)-enabled-by-default user), and a few random and generally non-critical things won't work. Even dropdown menus still work as they are generally done in CSS these days.

If a site really needs javascript, I can whitelist it while leaving google tracking scripts, adverts, disqus, etc. disabled.
