This is wonderful.

The main page doesn't mention the term, but the easiest way to describe this is that it is adding a Kanban board to Github.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_board

The simplicity to effectiveness ratio of Kanban boards really impress me.
Those terms ("high" vs "full") are especially tricky somehow. Perhaps that ADI chip I mentioned was the same one, and they tricked me as well. At least I was just researching to determine how bad I would want an Ethernet port if I got a PC scope. (I determined the answer was "pretty bad")

I don't know why bona fide high-speed isolators are not a common thing. Maybe 12Mbit ends up being sufficient for 98% of cases? It seems like the only way is to find a type of product for which they can't cheat, like those optical 3.0 cables or an actual GigE->USB protocol converter.

Then again Tripp-Lite is a big name, and you really would want some isolation for a 300ft run. Good luck!

It is remarkable how diluted the word irony has become. More often than not it seems that people think "irony" is serendipity's evil twin. The definition of "random" has also suffered a similar impotence by pervasiveness. It is not uncommon to hear casual conversations where the words random and ironic are used interchangeably.

The next word on the semantic extinction watchlist is literally. If you ask google for the definition of literally you are presented with two senses of the word:

1: in a literal manner or sense; exactly.
informal: used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

Sooner than later "informal" will be replaced with "2." and literally will literally mean not literally.

I asked Purdy if the book wasn't just an excuse for not having a sense of humor. He said, "That's a pretty nifty little piece of psychological deductionism." I took that as a yes.

Is there any sort of Excel integration? The usage documents reference dat-excel, but I don't see any code
Hi, maintainer of dat here. We're working on the first release now. The first use case is tabular data (a large volume of small rows), but we'll be adding a content-addressable blob store (for big binary attachments) on top for the beta, as well as some fun p2p (webrtc data channel) powered sync stuff (will be somewhat similar to BitTorrent sync) to maximize download speeds and let universities seed big scientific datasets.
Some more examples of this kind of thing: http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-02/when-brain-dam...

Facebook’s Mobile Ad Network : “Facebook Audience Network”
I imagine this could also get very confusing when a number of passengers show up at the last minute.
So common, in fact, that this joke was masterfully made nearly 15 years ago: http://pastebin.com/8hLsNWrY

edit: I mean the joke about Alanis Morrisette.
Or maybe something legal like Xanax.
I always have to laugh when, at the end of a flight, the majority of passengers jump up and elbow their way into the aisle, even though in many cases they'll be standing there for at least 5 minutes.

While sitting in the aisle seat, I've had passengers that were sitting beside me fall into my lap as they try to jostle their way by, just to get a place in the (stationary) line.

What's even funnier is when you see these people waiting around the baggage claim 10 minutes later.

Crowd psychology is a funny thing.

It's funny that these models all assume you have to seat first class first. Even if I'm flying first class, I still prefer to get on the plane last. The way people board airplanes seems to be the most irrational of all consumer behavior.

During my 1L year while procrastinating for my Property final I came across an article Purdy wrote about Johnson v. M’Intosh.[1] It reminded me of that neat white book from long ago and I took the time to reread it. If you enjoyed the book when it came out I encourage you to reread it.

I don't get your concern at all.

We run local e-mail and IM servers; the only thing that protects user communications on company owned infrastructure is our company policy. How is this any different?

What I find far more alarming -- and quite hypocritical from SaaS users seemingly suddenly concerned with privacy -- is that when I communicate with companies and individuals that use SaaS providers like Google Apps, the party with which I'm communicating implicitly shares my private correspondence with a SaaS company that engages in massive cross-internet data collection.

By comparison, employers having access to data that flows over employer-owned infrastructure is barely worth mentioning, has been the status quo for decades, and I'm absolutely stunned that anyone is shocked by this.
...and the pedants who've never added value to anything in their entire lives arrive right on cue to complain about page formatting and to question what purpose this serves (because, of course it would be too difficult to read the page for more than 2 minutes).

I really like that you seem to already have a handle on your weaknesses. that coupled with your striving to understand where you fit into things will eventually build into the confidence of a strong engineer. the longer it takes, the better.
I elbow my way into the aisle because, like anyone over 6 feet, I don't fit comfortably into an airline seat and would dearly like to stand up. I would also like people to figure out how to get their bags out of the overhead and find their children before the aisle in front of them is clear, but I'll settle for being able to stretch.
Given how much you rely on SaaS, how do you even know the data is actually gone? Come discovery, I'd expect you'd find its a lot more permanent and exposed than you expect.

Worrying about privacy while using SaaS seems to be missing the forest for a single small tree.

A Tale of Two Standards
When I was a teenager we did "experiments" during boarding of busses and in other similar situations. We made people jostle even more by standing in the back and saying, in a stage whisper, things like "Hey, there are still free seats!". It worked, sometimes even too well.

Yeah, we were assholes :-)
If you're going to argue a particular malfeasance or malpractice on LCHB's part, then a comparison with industry norms is appropriate.

I consider your assertions unproven.
Code Dicks, because Code Babes wasn't enough
I would argue that at least DFW (and possibly the author) knew exactly what he meant when he said irony. I think maybe irony is misunderstood as necessarily being obvious and bald-facedly deceptive in a noticeable way. I think a lot of the problem DFW was addressing (and I very much agree with h here) that it's so pervasive that we don't even perceive it's ubiquity culturally, and that our modes of communication are so shot through with the stuff that we can't just break down and communicate directly. I could be wrong, but in that sense I thought he was frighteningly prescient. I may be (probably am) mis-reading you, but arguing that irony is important because irony was important doesn't quite work as a counterpoint for me in this case.

If you care about personal privacy, don't use your employer's servers, and don't host your private conversations on a third-party SaaS.
When you are done writing boilerplate to wrap all the third-party functions, don't forget to write equivalent documentation too. And tests. Or are you just going to use the same function names? If the latter it's a pointless exercise, because it's unlikely you can shoehorn A different vendor library into the exact same API later.

shallow clones the only issue for games. Another problem is, unlike code, art assets usually can't be merged. You can't merge 2 photoshop texture files or 2 edits to a 3d character made in Maya.

So, you need some central system to manage the assets so that people know "hey, don't edit this file right now because so-and-so is editing it".

Ideally you'd like to know this BEFORE you start editing. In other words, you don't want to spent 15-60 minutes editing something and only on saving or trying to check in get told "hey, sorry but someone else was editing this file so you'll have to discard your changes and start over". Some editors are better at this than others.

You could try to write something on outside of git to help with this but why when P4 already provides this?
The general way that self hosting influences language design is that the compiler is often one of the first major projects to be built using a language. This does not give it more influence then other major projects, but if your goal is to have a language designed for use case X, it is generally best to have your early projects with it be for X. Additionally, self hosting may encourage a language design that makes bootstrapping easier (such as a stricter divide between the state-1 language and the general language).

You honestly don't see the difference between the amount of interest a third-party software company would have in the private conversations of a team than the amount a person's immediate manager might have in them?

Second, simply because something is "status quo" does not mean it's OK.

Answering my own question, I ran across an EEVblog post where someone pointed out the problem is the bidirectional data line. OFC that's why you can't just feed them into a GBIC etc. USB 3 has two unidirectional pairs, and so should be easier to isolate.

However, don't get your hopes up for those 3.optical cables to do what you'd like either. USB3 actually just implements 480/12/1.5 by having a parallel USB2 bus the whole way. There is no conversion between the two, which also means you can't actually aggregate 480mbit devices with a USB3 hub the way you'd hope. So who knows if Corning has actually created a full implementation or also just punted.
That's an interesting piece. You can see how some lines of thought have become verboten in respectable society. This era might be considered the Rise of Fear and the Return of Authority.

Everything is not done to just have the possibility to make money. I played with the ants (real ones) for endless period of time, and I can honestly say, I enjoyed that time very much. Then I wrote a basic ant colony simulation, which did not ran properly or crashed! Two years later Rich Hickey made a similar (and far better) ant simulation program.

You might not be very surprised when you read what that effort directly gave me. Nothing! But Indirectly I grew my interests in Simulations, Video Games which lead to my discovery of a field called Machine Learning, AI and Robotics. I have no real job today, I am still getting ready for college, and I don't know what I will really do in the future. What I know is I can learn.
Easyjet is also quite efficient. You have 2 enterances (front and back). You are designated to a specific enterance (based on your seat number). This already reduces the problem.

Even a site that I could read on mobile would be good. Resizing doesn't help with this one so some text and images can't be viewed.
I think you're right that the authors knew exactly what they meant when they said "irony"; it's just that what they meant wasn't really irony (I make no comment about DFW, whom I haven't read).

"maybe irony is misunderstood as necessarily being obvious"

You aim for that sweet spot where about half your audience will miss your point. Socrates could needle someone in such as way that only his target was unaware of being mocked.

"our modes of communication are so shot through with the stuff that we can't just break down and communicate directly"

How does one "believe in irony"?
It's a striking phrase, but not quite right. ... If you can recognize the way in which it is not quite right, I think you will have recognized the genius of the attempt.
I heard about it on Joe Rogan's podcast with Graham Hancock (especially the oldest one) and the stuff is mindblowing. Having animal bones not from the region and deliberately bury the entire site about 10 000 years ago (making it intrusion-free for so long) is a glympse of how civilization goes much farther than what was believed.

It also blows my mind that a farmer found it, can't wait until technology can scan the ground and look for human-like construction in a massive scale.
Legally blind programming help
Hey! So I've been learning how to code and being legally blind is probably one of the hardest things I have to deal with. Vision is 20/200 and I also have a disease that causes extreme light sensitivity. I usually have dimmed displays and zoomed in as well.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on how I can find a way to not zoom in all the time. A lot of platforms don't support increasing text sizes therefore I end up two inches from the screen - straining my vision as usual. Can someone help me out? Don't want this to get in the way of my abilities any longer. Thanks again!
> I suspect that any parallel primitive that needs to allocate anything is going to be too slow to achieve any gains on this problem

Even by using TLS instead of the global heap?
I think you're just nitpicking here. You could replace the word "irony" with "X" and the intentions of the author may come through more clearly. Here's not saying "all irony is bad", he's saying modern culture has been permeated to the core with sarcasm and cynicism, to the point that no one knows what anyone actually wants or likes anymore. It's a call for sincerity.
If you mean with respect to crime, then no. Hong Kong has one of the world's lowest crime rates and what violent crime does exist, is typically targeted (e.g. organized crime, domestic disputes).

For example, the intentional homicide rate is 0.2 per 100,000 people, vs 4.8 in the US. [1]

There's a bunch of tacky, gross, sexist stuff on the internet - actually a lot of it that even looks like this (naked news, etc.) To me it's just another piece of gendered content like The Chive that I wish wasn't so appealing, but I don't fully understand why we(people who care deeply about gender issues)'re supposed to be making a specific effort around this thing.

You're being disingenuous; it's the status quo because having the ability to monitor user communications is the default and inherent legal and technical nature of conveying communications over company owned infrastructure.

If you don't want to "be an asshole", set a clear company policy and move on.

Having been in the position of needing to access historical e-mail records while investigating CFO malfeasance and fraud, I'd say its downright irresponsible to not have the ability and policy necessary to monitor and review communications in extenuating circumstances.
That depends on how replicated/distributed the object storage is. In a DHT scenario, you might already be storing some of the objects yourself before you've even requested them.

The remote server can obviously be running an object-storage node itself, and so can your own local git repo -- the point is that you can have objects in more places than just your machine and the repo it's pulling from.
Isn't the popular idea to "never eat lunch alone"? I first heard that a few years ago and really took it to heart. Since adopting that strategy, I find myself building stronger connections with the people I work with and expanding my network beyond my coworkers (finding tech-oriented people to have lunch with is hard work where I live, something I don't think I would do if not living by that mantra). While I recognize the value of alone time (and place high value on it in my own life), lunch and dinner are two places where I feel like I'm really missing out if I spend them alone.
I do not understand how my opinion can be judged "not quite right"? This is my impression of the concept people seem to have in mind when they use the word irony. I am not saying this is the definition of irony.

Not only that, but vendors nowadays figured out that they can embed a flash chip with Windows drivers in the device. When you first plug it in it shows up as a disk drive that autoplays the driver setup then ejects the storage device and that's when the actual endpoint is connected which can be handled by the newly installed drivers and UI software.

Of course, autoplay has its own obvious drawbacks.
