as a former department of homeland security employee this is business as usual. you think it was an accident that these were no-bid or that some random canadian company got the healthcare website contract when there are thousands of americans who could have done it better? just scratching the backs of their donors. nothing to see here.

I got one of these for my apartment, worked great for 2 years but I could never add other people's numbers to it like advertised. It just paired with my phone and only used my internet connection for SMS/calls as long as I had wifi on (it would use my internet connection for 3g data but that would kill my battery and be silly to use with a phone that has wifi, it would also count against your quota if you had a limited plan).

SEEKING WORK - Brighton, UK. London, UK. Remote.

Freelance developer based in Brighton in the UK (50 minutes from
London). I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you
turn your ideas into reality. I can build mobile and web apps as well
as fun things involving custom hardware. I can build prototypes or
full apps on my own but also happy to work as part of a team (and I
have a bunch of great people I work with if you need help putting
together one).

I work a lot with Python (often with Django) and JavaScript (Node.JS and browser) to build rich client browser based and mobile apps. I also do hardware based projects, I have experience with coding in Assembly and C on various micro controllers and Arduino development.

A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV, D3.js, Arduino.

Some recent projects (see http://tomparslow.co.uk for more details):

- The software and technical design for a "magic mirror" that was used at London Fashion Week. Behind the scenes it was built with 15 network Raspberry Pis with camera modules. http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/tag/london-fashion-week

- An iPad app for a medical company for quick lookup of drug interaction

- Interactive visualisations for an iPad based magazine built with D3.js (They look really nice and I can send you a link to try them out if you ask)

- Lead developer on a team building a collaboration application featuring a RESTful API and browser and mobile clients. See http://thisisdrum.com and see also a talk I gave on some of the tech at http://asyncjs.com/hypermedia/

- http://spawnsong.com

Some fun stuff I've made recently:

- A solver written in Haskell for the regular expression crossword puzzle that was going round recently https://github.com/almost/regex-crossword-solver

- A location based app (works on desktop but mainly mobile): http://head2.me

- An open source JavaScript library I wrote: https://github.com/dharmafly/jsonpatch.js

- The Amazon Glacier support I contributed to Boto (popular Python library): https://github.com/almost/boto/tree/glacier/boto/glacier

I'd love to talk about your project. Please do get in touch! I am away from the office until next Wednesday but will get back to you then (or before if I find some Wi-Fi!)

The point of this is that you see and compare the domain before putting in a username/password. That's probably more reliable than comparing a full URL - the difference between y0urbank.com and yourbank.com is much more obvious than the difference between y0urbank.com/?bunch/of/state=whatever and yourbank.com/?bunch/of/state=whatever

Cool. How do you provide instantaneous feedback with this system? As in, if the user has a list of items with delete buttons, and you want to remove the item from the list as soon as the user clicks the X? Think about using your browser and having it reload every toolbar and menu every time you clicked on something.

All sarcasm aside, plain HTML has plenty of great uses, but just because you don't see a reason for client-side apps does not mean that they don't exist.

There is this weird phenomenon I see happen online sometimes.

There have been two steps forward. Simultaneously released alongside, but not dependent on, one step backward.

So why do people defend the step backward under the guise of the steps forward.
Academia is mostly standardized on arxiv - I can read papers from 12 different journals and they're all in the same format there. The rest of the web hasn't got there yet - if I want to read 12 different blog articles I have to navigate 12 different kinds of styled pages.

Would you happen to know if there is anything equivalent planned/done for btrfs (or ext4)?
mryan, I was curious and looked at your site epitech.nl In mybrowser (Firefox 28) there's an issue with words being cut off in weird places.

Have a look at this screenshot http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2014-05-01_15_34_39-OpQO... and notice for instance the first sentence where the Y from the word you is cut off.

I've looked at your theme.css and it seems removing word-break: break-all; from it solves the issue in Firefox.
Nothing in the UK yet either.
Would this be anything like Atom/RSS?

I like as much separation as possible for letting the UI do the formatting and the backend just be an API. I'm not sure how this (not rendering in JS) would handle more complex scenarios such as SPAs.
they don't appear teary eyed in the video. i am sorry, but the trailer makes it look like a one-sided propaganda piece. angels & demons. and as i wrote, i hope the trailer does not reflect the whole documentary.
Still needs to answer the "what does it solve" question. I am not sure most people will use this daily...even if it was free.
I just recently started using Angular, but ui-router definitely gave me a bit of trouble. I had to dig through StackOverflow to find answers to questions like how to enforce that certain views must only be accessed when the user is logged in. Another bit of trouble I had was doing things like logging the user out, then immediately redirecting them to the login page. Had to redirect then to the home page so that the state change hijacking code fired and redirected a second time.

I can definitely see that ui-router is a valuable component and it's very powerful, but perhaps I have not achieved the zen of it yet.
Parsing the PSD format is quite a challenge given its "half-open" nature. We've looked at many different libraries out there and basically took the best from each. Now we're also contributing to the open PSD.rb implementation.

How Can Disney Recharge Its Games Unit?
The history behind the engines we are talking about is just crazy. Basically they were incredibly superior to the american ones but politicians lost interest in them (because the race to the moon was lost), and they scrapped the program and asked the engines to be destroyed. They were hidden in the middle of nowhere in Siberia. After the cold war, some Russians in the know wanted to sell them to US companies, the specs were so incredible (particularly the inner pressure) that the prospective buyers thought there was a translation problem or that it was false. They had created a new alloy, they had used an incredibly dangerous technology in them etc. I don't know very well history, but I think this complexity and technological ambition might be a factor in the USSR losing of the race to the moon.

edit: nice story, but it's the wrong engine, see below.

Writes to mmap-ed regions aren't very reliable: besides the synchronization issue there's also the question of what happens on an I/O error or ENOSPC. Usually your program just gets a SIGBUS and crashes.
IIRC LMDB uses regular syscalls to update the mapping, and use mmap only for read.
Sometimes it is bad design. When you replace a perfectly good interface -- one users have grown accustomed to for decades -- and replace it with something different that offers no additional benefits, you're a bad designer.

Launch vehicles would probably be the more interesting one here, 'rocket engines' is not really what they're buying, the article talks about 36 rockets, not just engines.

Parties realistically capable of supplying those are few:

- SpaceX
- Sea Launch
- Starsem
- United Launch Alliance
- EADS/Arianespace
- ILS

Possibly others.
