One possible explanation for why user's skip behavior varies by time of day/week is that they're more likely to be playing songs around friends. A lot of times you'll want to show just one part of a song to someone, or you want to manage several requests for songs when you're out.

Took me a moment to realize you were talking CAES in salt caverns, not salt caverns for thermal energy storage, though that hadn't occurred to me either (I don't think it's necessary).

The constraints you raise on natural-formation CAES do raise some interesting challenges (or Hollywood movie plots).

Have you ever programmed graphics?

To make a paralell, usually in graphics your main loop reacts to events (user input) and you change some internal state in some object(s). Finally, you get all those objects that know how to render themselves, see what's relevant and render the whole scene. You don't have to care about pixels, you just react to events and blit a representation of the entire state.

React.js is the same, the difference being your components "render" themselves to the DOM, and because it's a tree, it's naturally composable. It's still a pipeline taking state and outputing a representation though.

I also find listening to songs on repeat helps. I get into the "zone" faster when I'm not hearing a new beat every 3-5 minutes.
$20 is probably more than enough to incentivize a market of people who will occupy spots in order to resell them, though, if this takes off. I bet you could do 10+ spots/hour driving around at the right day/time.
That is retained rendering with scene graphs. Immediate-mode rendering is obviously very different.

Looks like an already asked question:

To be clear, we still don't collect or share personal
information and auto-suggest does not impact that at all.
I appreciate it may make you and others uncomfortable
and we're sensitive to that, but it is not a change in
terms of privacy. We simply do not associate queries with
personal information (e.g. IP addresses) and in fact
don't store any of it at all.

Can someone explain to me how the first queue example's (using singly link lists) dequeue method gives the expected result? Isn't head->m_pNext always NULL, so the new head will always be NULL and tail will be set to NULL losing the rest of the queue?

Seems like you should need to traverse the list to dequeue.

Didn't miss it. And it would seem that has nothing to do with Comcast. Just read the paragraph again. They have 6 peers who are using a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet port and somehow (who'da thunk?) it is congested. So they are upgrading their one port that is degrading traffic for six peers.

They're right, it is business as usual, and you do have to change ports as traffic flows change. This has nothing to do with Level3 and Comcast's (apparent?) failure to reach consensus on a peering agreement, or if either of them has invested anything in it.
Which still doesn't mean the material isn't well researched. Nobody up to now refuted the historical references. In short, "foo" and "bar" didn't "just fall to Earth" they were written by the people who were surrounded by "FUBAR."

Which again means that it's better if you don't consider them as the innocent "no meaning" variables. They have as much "no meaning" as WTF means "worse than failure."
San Francisco: a city which is happily dysfunctional as long as everyone enjoys the same level of dysfunction. Once you demonstrate that money can buy the things that citizens of other towns get for free, San Francisco gets up in arms about how money is ruining the great things SF has going for it.

In terms of the combined consumers sales, Dell is probably #3.

The revenue Dell pulled from their consumer division (which includes desktop/laptops/thin-clients/mobile devices and so on) is $8.9 billion.

> End User Computing revenue was $8.9 billion in the quarter, a 9 percent decrease. Operating income for the quarter was $224 million, a 65 percent decrease. Dell desktop and thin-client revenue declined 2 percent, mobility revenue declined 16 percent, and software from third parties and peripherals revenue declined 6 percent.

Source: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20130516006383/en/Dell...

In Apple's '14 Q1 report, their Mac revenue was $6.4 billion. iPad: $11.4B and iPhone $32B for the total of ~$50B.
The very first thing that I see arising from this is people who simply drive around all day, acquiring parking spots, and reselling them. If you can find 3 parking spots an hour consistently, then that's the equivalent of $120K/year.

What's bad about that model, is the people looking for parking spaces are likely to get very aggressive about taking one that is opening up.

I created an account just to reply.

I have been working successfully in the technology industry as a Developer for over 10 years. I have recently left a job where I led a good-sized team of Developers and I now run my own company.

Through countless interviews and meeting with clients, I have been asked exactly 4 times about my degree and educational background. I don't have a degree. No one cares. They do care about what you have done (experience, portfolio) and what you can do for them (your value).

Information Technology is perhaps the most accessible industry:

* You have access to the exact same tools as a Senior Developer at Google. How much did you pay for Apache, PHP, Angularjs, Go, Dart, Javascript, CSS, HTML, Ruby..etc. $0. All you need is a laptop and internet connection. For a few dollars a month you could even deploy your app to the same massively powerful technology infrastructure which a Senior Google Developer uses (Google App Engine). Do you know how lucky you are to have access to the same resources?

* If you wanted to be a Lawyer or Doctor or Accountant.. you would HAVE to go to school and get a Degree. Online you can find documentation, tutorials, discussion boards.. everything you need to learn. I would rather learn online myself than accumulating tens of thousands of dollars of debt to learn the same thing.

You are focusing way too much on what you don't have.

> I'm becoming flustered of only being able to do CRUD solutions etc.

There is NOTHING stopping you from learning more than CRUD solution.

> or I should be working on a meteor.js demo for practicality

There is NOTHING stopping you from working on a meteor.js demo.

Perhaps you feel alone and feel University would provide you with the structure and guidance you need. My advice is to find a good friend who is as dedicated to learning as you are. Have your own classes twice a week with your friend where you learn something new each class. (E.g., meteor.js). Try that for 4 months. Work hard at it. After 4 months if you are not progressing, then look at University as an option.
Presumably the people creating this app have thought of this, seeing as it's like one of the critical parts of completing a transaction. With a few seconds of thought you can come up with a quick way to make sure it all works.

What might happen though is that if a car is about to leave and a non-paying car pulls up to get in, the leaving car might decide to stay a bit longer until a paying car gets first into queue.
Virgin offer a "cable" service which is available where they have cable television (not a wide distribution area), and that this is what they refer to as their fibre service.

Virgin also resell the same ADSL that everyone else does (complete with BT line rental).
Mostly CPU usage would jump to 100%, it's not mysql or RAM shortage. I know an Intel atom isn't much, but it ought to do better than this, especially compared to custom software.

Think about people who are currently unemployed, or stay at home parents, or teenagers on vacation, or retirees, or etc etc.

People camp out all night to save a few bucks on Black Friday, this is probably a better "deal".

$20 might not be a lot to you, but for a lot of people it is, especially if it's just side cash for a few minutes of work.
$20 is probably enough to convince someone to wait a minute or two while another car gets around a block for them.
First-class Runtime Generation of High-performance Types using Exotypes
You're right. Enqueue is wrong, it should be:

m_pHead = p ;
else
m_pTail->next = p;
m_pTail = p;

For some reason, the author is inserting the node in front of the tail leading to the error.
Yes, most shells are UTF-8 aware, but terminals are largely not Bidi-encoding aware. Bidi, short for birectional, is what allows you to use left-to-right and right-to-left (Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Pashto, Urdu, etc.) and read/write both variants in harmony.

There are very, very few terminals that do this at all. I read and write Arabic, so I use mlterm. It is quite good, but unlike other emulators, it requires setup and learning configuration, but is very flexible. I use Mutt to read for emails and mailing lists in Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu, and I rarely have problems.

In the Linux console, the situation is abysmal. There was a project that works there, bicon from Arabeyes project, but does not understand SIGWINCH signals. This is problematic when I share a tmux session through the Linux console and X.org with my preferred WM, for example. But to run small, mostly console programs with Arabic, bicon is old and can do some jobs for value of jobs.

A big problem is that Arabic input, and RTL input in general, is a problem where most devs in this space respond "each application must address it in its own way." This is why few console or GUI applications handle Arabic well.

FYI, Firefox was the only browser I could view Arabic language news in until like two or three years ago, on any computer for a while. The others were terrible. And this is coming from a linguistics guy; this was long before I wanted to dig deeper in the machine. Linux guys in the Arab world fight an uphill battle, since much software will not work them and is ignored.

Come join arabeyes.org and help some of them out if you interested in translating documentation, applications, or building tools to help the process.
I don't understand why this would separate the haves from the have nots. Surely, a jobless person with a car can drive into town every morning at 7 AM or so, park there, and wait for someone to pay $25 or more for 'their' spot. If they want to take a chance (spot-hoarding counter-measures will only work if they tie them to a license plate number, and if everyone buying a spot checks that plate. I doubt people would do the latter, so the counter-countermeasure would be to have multiple accounts)

In general, I think lesser paid people would be more willing to wait in their cars for a few minutes to make a few dollars. So, I would expect money to flow towards them.

Having said that I think this service is immoral, and should be forbidden. What's next? Renting out seats in the subway? A picket line on he street where you pay $1 for the right to pass? Paying someone a monthly fee for not seeing your customers intimidated/beaten up?
That won't make too many people happy, especially considering they're targeting a market that may have never heard of Stripe or aren't technical enough to pick the Stripe fee inclusion. This doesn't strike much confidence either for a more serious investment, from their terms:

Please do show how deleting everything that was contributed by the student can be justified (you say that you "could see how" the wikipedian "would justify" the reverts to the pre-student's-contribution-state of the article). I can't see, please see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Super-spreader&di...

Obviously the deleted material, that is, everything that the student previously contributed, contained the citations (on the left). Still everything was deleted by the strange behaving wikipedian.

The difference I link to shows the effects of the second deletion of the student's newly contributed material by the wikipedian. How can that be justified? I understand that the wikipedian didn't want the original research. But was it all really just the original research?
There is a ton of value waiting to be created in Michigan, especially centered around the auto industry. The margins aren't anywhere near as high as they are in software companies, but would you believe that "List 1" and "List 2" below have about the same combined annual revenues (~$375B).

1. GM, Ford, Chrysler

2. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, Yahoo!, Facebook, Adobe, Netflix, Tesla, Twitter, Pandora

There is a lot of value in the supply chain that could be captured by clever software or manufacturing techniques.

For those of you interested in what might be a slightly lower level approach: I saw a talk from Andrew Trigell (of Samba/rsync fame) at linux.conf.au. In it, he was bemoaning the lack of Open Source firmware for radio transmitters, while pondering a UAV project hey were working on.

So, in typical tridge fashion, he and his friends created some, and given it is relatively simplistic, and the transmitters are quite tiny, the feature set seems pretty impressive (though I haven't had a need to use it... yet):

You obviously don't live in a metro city. Parking and driving in SF is an absolute nightmare. However public transportation is probably the best besides the east coast. Most people take Muni or the BART.
Cool concept. Bit more information about it in an easier-to-read format here:

It's called providing liquidity for parking spots ;). But really, this is an excellent idea. They can add another twist to it: Normally people know when they would be leaving. So they can advertise spot and time. Other users can then "book" the spot at the times being advertised.

If this becomes illegal then police can track down sellers using same app so things are flaky at that point. However I would doubt if selling information about available parking lots can be made illegal.

For those of you "troubled" by this, get this: Pretty much everything in life with short in supply is essentially an auction. When you reserve dinner at restaurant, they have adjusted their price such that their supply meets the demand. In Essence they sold the spots to highest bidders. This is not limited to private properties. When try to buy a house in the same area as great public school, same thing happens - you get priced out of the area and the goods goes to highest bidder.

Lagrange multipliers are esoteric? Oh man, I was under the impression that they formed the basis for most many useful optimization techniques :)

"It is immediately clear that they are taken from about the same direction but different heights: the second bolt looks squashed vertically."

Isn't it also possible that the photos were taken at slightly different times and the path of the lightning bolt shifted slightly over that period?

For example, if you look at this 9-second video of a high voltage electrical arc[1], you'll see that its path shifts around quite a bit over time.

You should check out the framework benchmarks. Raw php is competitive with other web dev platforms performance-wise, but the major php frameworks slow it down by an order of magnitude. I blame the PSR / on-demand class loading java-style architecture which was adopted by all the frameworks. They've copied a java architecture into a platform that doesn't have java's performance characteristics.

In my own benchmarks i've noticed all that class loading and instantiation slows things way down, even with an opcache. I find that a namespaced procedural / functional architecture performs much better, but no PHP framework works that way.

As one who has spent a considerable part of their life looking for parking spots in San Francisco - it will be challenging during busy hours to find more than 2-3 spots an hour. Which is the entire reason why this app is feasible - many people don't want to spend 20-30 minutes looking for a parking spot.
bang on !! i think no one will leave the spot after waiting for it.
"Broadband and cell data will substitute perfectly for "voice service"... what gives?
reply"

They substitute only if everyone you want to call has Skype or GVoice or something. If you want to call people with phone numbers, you need voice specific service. Telmex charges Skype &c big, big interconnect fees to access the regular telephone number voice market.

It's been worth enough to make Slim the world's richest man mostly on the charges for USA-Mexico voice interconnect fees. I used to talk to my US contacts on Skype.
It doesn't even have to be errata. That timing loop someone wrote decades ago might run too fast now. Even if it determines its loop counter at startup, it may fail because it assumes 16 bits is enough for the counter.

Conversely, some instructions may have gotten slower over time. For example, I doubt intel worries much about the performance of the original 8087 floating point operations anymore, so they could move them into microcode or even make them illegal instructions, to be emulated in software (I don't they do at the moment because the overhead of decoding the original 8086 instructions is low, but if x86 stays around for a few decades, at some time, I think they will consider doing the latter)

Scrolling is broken on Safari iOS7. The default behavior in Safari is when you scroll up, the controls appear (url bar, back/forward button, other tabs button etc.)

It seems DDG implements its own scrolling, so scrolling up does not make the controls appear, which is quite unexpected and makes a bad user experience.

exactly right. Under US copyright law, Evernote could be deemed to violate your exclusive right (as copyright holder of your content) to make copies whenever they made a backup.
