I am all for plain speaking English which in my mind is different to the English that people use for txts and is different to the convoluted English people use to show off (e.g. using big words and long sentences when something to the point will suffice).

However, Stack Overflow is a reference work, and, for questions to have value to a wider audience, they do have to be to a certain standard. It is the same with Wikipedia, you don't get lazy lols plz txt spk in articles found there. People need to appreciate this when asking questions. Basic secondary school level English is all that is asked for, not anything more.

I have problems with how the 'edits' is game-ified in such a way that crimes of the English language pass the process. I also think that something could be done when questions are submitted to raise the bar.

I appreciate that people need an answer quick, so fwr kstrks and tipos mightnt mater to them but I don't see how the 'agreed on' forms of English, as taught at school, counts as pedantry. You should try being a moderator one day...
A really big problem with satellite technology are the harsh environments they go through. You're dealing with something like 10-20g's of vibration peak-to-peak on ascent, and then you subject it to the freezing colds and searing heat of space, all while doing this in vacuum.

Since those clocks need to be super precise, it's easier to have an accurate reference on the ground where everything's not getting shaken and baked to bits.

I'm building a HN clone in PHP, and I need help
Hi, well as the title says, I'm programming a HN clone. I choose PHP because is more simple to find a hosting which provides us PHP.

And I have some questions, the first is about HN comments, in its structure a comment is an item. I'm using MySQL, and my table 'items' can store comments too. My question is: HN has a limit deep in comments? Because is complicate get comments using recursivity.

That's the reason because I prefer use SQL and a limit of comments.

I have no time to finish quickly this project, but I'll try to do it fast.

There are lots of broken links, only works the login/signup and an item views.

In this case, Japan's move makes sense. The satellites are placed into an orbit so that they can be seen high in the sky, which is impossible to do for all locations on the earth.

At some point, you need to break up the augmentation systems on a continent/country-wide basis so that you can optimize the satellite orbits to work for you, instead of against you.

Additionally, QZSS seems to be pretty similar to WAAS. I get the feeling it's probably the same sort of system (though I haven't taken a look), so it's likely easy to implement from a GPS chip perspective.
>So not in your browser, but everywhere else.

Not in the browser now, but I think Rust will make a very nice compile-to-JS language with Emscripten. And this will likely be possible in the not-to-far future given how relative easy it will be to implement with LLVM.

That said, Rust's primary uses will probably be "systems programming", game dev, embedded programming, and other real-time programming.
I loved that this required no instructions. Really beautiful.

Wait... This comment thread looks familiar. Did this happen already?
I'm seeing a lot of "No you're wrong!" responses to this comment. I think they're missing the point.

Most of the projects I come across for Go are for things that traditionally have been in Ruby/Python's camp. Examples of these are web infrastructure and command-line stuff.

Rust, on the other hand, seems like its being used more for things that have been done in C++. i.e. rendering engines and operating systems.

The comment author never stated that Go is better than Ruby/Python. The author points out that a lot of Ruby/Python people have switching over to Go... seemingly more than to Rust.

This isn't a statement for or against either projects worth.
Cute presentation of his thoughts. Not a very fun game though.
Another neat thing about the orbit, Pine Gap[^1] sits right in the middle of the bottom half of the figure eight.

7 Mistakes to Avoid When Pitching Your Startup
Yes, you got the essence of it.

I understand more than 3 words of German, and the money quote, by Döpfner, appears at the 6 minute mark:

"What I would hope... that we do not try now to play from now on the cliché of a super cool Silicon Valley guy [laughter]. Let's really keep some sort of decent German spiessertum."

The term "Spiessertum", and the German "Spiessbürger", refer to people with a particularly narrow-minded mindset, determined by extreme conformism and opposition to change.

I think there are a number of better ways to determine which programming languages are popular than what Tiobe uses. If they were only counting pages generated within a specific timeframe, perhaps a month or year, then their results might have some validity. Every month they are including all of the web pages that exist. I believe this skews their results.

I'm also not convinced that language popularity is an important metric. I think knowing which languages are strongly sought after by employers is more important and relevant. I think it is also important to know which languages are suitable for particular tasks, for people looking to create new code bases.

It would also be interesting to know how much code exists in various languages, and how many people are currently employed maintaining code bases in various languages.

Love the idea! A few suggestions though:

• The tutorial/intro is very intrusive. Ideally you should just let the user get started – the UI is intuitive and doesn't need much explanation. Help pages or instructions should be optional instead of forced; or at least you should be able to dismiss/skip them quickly.

• Allow users to browse the content without signing in; I want to see what the product is and how it works before I give you my email address and information.

• Don't ask permission for push notifications until later; initially I don't know what they're for and why I'd want them from your app. [1]

But it's a great app overall. Also noticed you're from U of T Engineering -- I'm in ECE1T6, so hi! :)

A friend who works in one of the airlines told me recently, the story of six family members from middle east traveling all in 1st class, including kids and the nanny.

Great article, thanks for sharing.

Couldn't help but notice one thing on your home page: the price is given in $/sqft/year. Did you A/B test with other representations? It doesn't feel intuitive at all to me. I would expect people to have an idea of the total budget they have (/month or /year).

Also I'm sure it's in your backlog already, but a lot of your listing prices are way off (http://42floors.com/?page=1&order%5Blistings_rate_per_sqft_p...)

As a Comcast customer I would have called and complained. If enough people complained, it might have had some effect. However, in my area, there's only two choices: crappy DSL from AT&T and Comcast. There's really no comparing the two services. I had the DSL offering for a few years and it was absolute crap. With Comcast I get amazing speeds, but when service is needed, it's Comcast. In other words, it's horrible. Here's what happens when you call them due to an outage:

You tell them you power cycled the modem. They make you do it anyway. You ask them to do a traceroute and they either say "I don't know what that is" or "I can't do that" or "Yeah, we'll get to that after a few other things".

Last time I called, 20 minutes into the call he does a traceroute and finds the problem is a few hops from my house. Yeah, he wouldn't do it it first thing, so he wasted a bunch of time.

Sometimes, if they won't do the traceroute, they'll send someone out, in a 4 hour window, only to tell you when they get there at the problem is not near your house. Or, the problem is fixed by the time they arrive.

It's one of the most frustrating customer service experiences you can have.
The majority of GPS satellites do not have one rubidium clock on board, they have four. For a discussion of the experimental time sync system planned for QZSS see: http://web.archive.org/web/20130411122243/http://unsworks.un...

I am curious before reading my comment did you think that GPS would continue to work without navy.mil and af.mil?
Which still makes it a bit of a mystery why you wouldn't emulate them, since USB plug/unplug maps 1:1 to that signal.

Jenova Chen: Developing emotional ties in Journey
Funny, I've always enjoyed the mountain climbing analogy.

You look at the peak from afar and you get excited. As you get closer to the base, you start to get a little scared. Half an hour after you start, your legs are already burning and you're thinking "wtf am I doing here, I could be having a pint on the patio I passed by earlier!" But you keep on eyes on the path and keep grinding, step by step, one foot in front of the other. Your mind goes blank and you get used to the discomfort. Occasionally you stop to rest and then you see "wow, I'm actually making progress, this is pretty neat. And the view! This is way better than some random patio.". You keep going and going for years.

Few climbers make it. Mostly you give up and walk back down (ie fail). Sometimes, someone likes your climb and sends a mule to help you on the way back (acquihire) and sometimes they even send a helicoper (product acquisition). And if you make it (IPO), you find out it's a fractal game - you always keep climbing, otherwise someone will come from behind and push you over the cliff. :)

It does according to Wikipedia, although "Binary data must be first base64 encoded before it can be transmitted in-band", making it inefficient[1].

XMPP's based on XML anyway, so implementing inline media and extra features sounds easier than rolling an entirely new protocol.

But perhaps some of the proprietary systems use XMPP internally anyway? After all, it's used for more than just chat clients nowadays.

You probably should not have used `linux` and `osx` tags for such a specific question.
No, that script looks for scripts of type "application/dart" in the page and then tries to find a compiled-to-JavaScript version of any scripts it finds by appending ".js" to them.

It looks like the actual Dart file hasn't been uploaded - which is sensible, in a way, since browsers don't natively supports Dart right now, with the exception of Dartium (?).
This article might have some truthyness but the arguments would never lead me to that conclusion.

1. "wouldnt it be reasonable for searches for a mature language to decrease since devs are already very familiar with that language"
- No, only if the language is also dead. Any actively developed language is going to always be expanding its libraries, frameworks, feature set, etc. and as a developer you constantly have to keep up.

2. Also saying total "java programming" searches quadrupled sounds good, but all other searches had a 5 times increase using his own data.

3. When I use his same method for "python programming" (http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=python%20programming&...), I get an increase to 86 (2013) from 54 (January 2007) for python. This would mean compared to java, python has had an 8 times increase!

4. Basically unless you know exactly how google is normalizing the data, you are not going to have anything worth reporting on using actual numbers anyway.
While your defense of his vitriol is noble, I'm less convinced of his good intentions.

Sadly, this isn't the first time I've run across statements like this; they're all too common in support emails sent to us at Stack Exchange. Rather than making an effort to express their concerns and disagreements, all too many people jump to the assumption that because someone disagrees with them they must have some deep-seated problem that they're inflicting on others rather than dealing with.

Perhaps it is cathartic for the person writing, but it is frustrating and wholly unproductive for everyone they subject to it.
Great to see this finally become public. I've been a huge supporter of Mark from the beginning of his journey.

You've got to give this a try, the quality & accuracy of the leads produced go above and beyond what you'd think possible.
Because when somebody says 'watch out where you're going, are you blind' when somebody almost runs them over, they mean that they think the person driving has 0% vision and that all blind people drive over other people? I'm not sure what your point is.

Instead of devoting paragraphs on 'detailed behaviors - ideally punctuated with specific examples', I use one word that perfectly conveys my intent. Not a single person (who is not autistic, which does make my post a catch-22 situation) would think that I actually meant that I am blaming people who are medically diagnosed as scoring high on the autism spectrum for the demise of SO.

(come to think of it, and given the context of this whole inane thread, I'm not sure if maybe you are just parodying the GP - if so, nicely done, and I admit it went over my head until after writing the above)
Well this happened back when we really didn't give a shit about the environment AND just before conspicuous consumption more or less defined the 80s.

A kill switch wouldn't have saved them. What killed Knight wasn't the $400 million loss, it was the lack of confidence all other firms had in them afterwards. Brokers can't just shut down in the middle of the trading day.

They managed to raise the money to cover the loss, but afterwards they were getting round 10% of their normal order volume [1].

Somewhat ironically, the closest thing they had to a kill switch, backing out the code, actually made the situation worse as it made all 8 servers misbehave instead of just the first one[2].

The full SEC report in [2] is an interesting read, just skip the parts about "regulation 5c-15...".

Most relevant line of code:

It still blows my mind that an irrational series like 2 ^ (i/12) is such a close approximation to the harmonic series.

> > - Explicit allocations (stack vs heap) and ownership management.

> This is a great feature. If you're writing another web app, then sure, you don't care about stack vs heap. If you're writing performance oriented code, then you do. Both D and C# allow for a similar mechanism

Some languages do that for you. Allocating on the stack by default and falling back to the heap when it wouldn't be safe to allocate on the stack. e.g. if the object can outlive the current function call, it shouldn't be allocated on the stack.

If the Rust compiled doesn't known how to spot unsafe stack allocations, then you don't have memory safety.

> > Copy traits feel a lot like C++ copy constructor (a.k.a. I never known what simple things like assignments or passing an object around will actually do)

That's not what I said. Operator overloading is yet an other feature that's ruining everything else, though.

> > Yet they added some bug-provoking things like "The final expression in the function will be used as return value".

I may be wrong on this one, since type checking would spot most problem at compile time.
