> Even during the war, the meat was not socially accepted for human consumption

For what it's worth, it was a huge scandal in the early 1990s in my country when it was rumored that members of our local gipsy community had eaten swans after they had just arrived in Vienna. It stuck along as a stereotype for at least a decade, if not more. As for the reference, the best I could find was this: http://books.google.ro/books?id=gHKm95EweOwC&pg=PT272&lpg=PT...
, but there was also a Sun story from 2008 about "Eastern" immigrants having eaten swans.

I'll recommend you to wait just a little bit. Commonly, many domains that becomes funny products later starts with an invented word, and Google later has no troubles understanding that's actually a new word.

And just to be sure, add your site to Google Webmasters and try to put the requested name in the title tag, too.
For me Quora is useful in finding alternative sites/software. For example, If I am looking for a web chat software, I can find most of the available solutions there. Of course, the information is biased because it is posted by the respective founders/CTOs. Still I can use that as a starting point for my research. I do hate that I have to login to read content but share=1 comes to the rescue.

Even for guerilla filmmaking $500 is not much. I donrecognise that it is a sum of cash that might be seen as not needed.

Perhaps Kickstarter could help here? "I have a product that is almost finished. Now I just want to do the final bits. I believe everyone should be able to access this film so I want to add closed captioning and audio description for hearing impaired and sight impaired audience."

Sorry for seeming cross in my first post.
And "The Knowledge" doesn't provide the ability for taxi drivers to psychopathically become aware of delays in traffic on a given road. I've never noticed any particular difference in the amount of time I've been stuck in traffic when travelling in black cabs or in taxis with drivers using a GPS.
Which usually involves several minutes of waiting, as opposed to simply flagging one down as it's passing, which you're allowed to do with a black cab.
Well, and unless I am mistaken, they still route the larger subnets to your interface rather than to your machine? There it nothing wrong with testing stuff with "small" subnets, even if it may be a bit pointless, but my point is that a setup that provides you with a single address just has a structure that cannot really easily be changed in a sane way into a setup that provides you with larger subnets.

A sane setup should use a transfer net on your interface, and should route your actual address space to your gateway address on that transfer net - otherwise you'll need ugly hacks such as proxy-NDP in order to be able to route addresses for sub-allocations. This flat setup without a transfer net was invented for IPv4 when IPv4 addresses became scarce, so it was a necessary evil, but it's a stupid setup that causes nothing but pain when you have billions of /64s available.

That is the reason why I don't understand why anyone would even test with single-address allocations.

> I'd argue that Haskell actually has a pedagogy problem, because many of its proponents are academics or mathematicians, who are comfortable with that kind of language. Talking about monads, functors, and arrows is a very natural activity for them, and clarifies rather than complicates the subject.

Btw. I am a mathematician and the only time I ever had contact with category theory was in a seminar presentation. The great majority of students at our university would be as new to functors as most of you.

But on the other hand the reason I am fascinated by Haskell are all these advanced methodologies that promise to make the act of solving a problem more manageable. To contrast that against the Python/C comparison I find that Python gets less in my way (probably even less than any other programming language I've tried) but hasn't taught me concepts that I didn't already know from C++/Java/…

So the question would be: If you don't want to learn about Monads, why would you come to Haskell in the first place?
Don't worry. Really. Google IS that smart to understand and learn a new word. It worked several times before not just for you or me. Think in any domain that's just an invented word and you'll see that Google learnt their name. It happened to me, too: I've registered "angrybirders.com" and in the beginning, Google said "Did you mean 'Angry Birds'... At the end, if you perform a search, you'll see that the domain was correctly detected and no" Did you mean?" appears on the page.
Is there not a legitimate public interest in knowing the source of enormous contributions to charities and political causes?

The scale of these contributions mean they have the potential to significantly distort markets, and reorder societal priorities, arbitrarily refocusing vast resources from one cause to another on the whim of a single individual.

With great wealth comes great power, with great power comes great responsibility, and with great responsibility comes a great need for transparency and oversight.

First read a couple of papers in Malaria. You can easily go through terminology using wikipedia/google. If you don't have a strong background in human pathophysiology it's going to take some time, but given the right amount of time it's not thing really hard. You'll just give the time for some concepts to sink in.

What I'd like to see is an open source version of this machine which can be easily reproduced in pure countries.

HOWEVER, smart as it may seem, if I don't see some triple-checked hard-data, it's hard to tell if the magnets approach actually works and here is were professional clinical trials are made. Because in real life it's extremely hard to take say 5.000 blood samples from people who might be infected (e.g. Africans) right down the results, then go to a professional lab and compare the samples. Write down the results, find in which conditions concentration of 'Fe' is high in blood. Probably talking to the IDI[1] would be a nice first step and so on.

It seems to me bit crazy that a hosting provider launched in 2011 did not have full IPv6 support on day 0, especially when the provider in question was not some shoe-string garage operation.
I think I see where you're coming from. Correct me if I am wrong.

If I were solving the same problem:

public void CreateBooking( int chosenBookingType,... ){ ...

- and -

public string[] GetAvailableBookingTypes(){ ...

or something similar.

Your implementer can call GetAvailableBookingTypes at run-time to populate whatever interface lets you select one, then pop the index of the selection back into CreateBooking. I have it returning an array of strings as a very simple solution; you can just as easily return an array of objects that better represent your booking types (containing descriptions, and URIs to icon images or colors or whatever). The methods are named in such a way as to lend to the fact that they are related. No enums, no wonkiness and you can add new booking types at will without having to let your implementer know something changed. If your implementers are not catching on that the two methods are related, you can solve that problem with easy to read documentation.

> natural-rights view of intellectual property [vs] Jefferson's utilitarian view.

I'm going to steal that one, though I may have a slightly different understanding of the dichotomy: the natural-rights view would focus on rewarding creative people, and the utilitarian view would focus on benefiting everyone.

The utilitarian view is obviously the correct one, but up until now, I didn't have the words to express it.
IMO the media should leave these donors alone. Charity is a great thing, and anonymous donors should be encouraged. They are giving their money without seeking any fame or other publicity from their generosity.

"£5m paid on £4bn is not a fair rate"

As the article points out, corporation tax is paid on profits, not on turnover - it's entirely possible that despite huge turnover they aren't actually making much money and therefore aren't due to pay much tax.

Of course, on the other hand they might be up to all kinds of "tax planning" shenanigans but simply saying they are due to pay more tax based on their turnover is making an overly simplistic argument.
>"We are now generally shorter, lighter and smaller boned than our ancestors were 100,000 years ago. The decrease has been gradual but has been most noticeable in the last 10,000 years. However, there has been some slight reversal to this trend in the last few centuries as the average height has started to increase."

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Another very interesting fact - brain gets smaller in volume and unlike height, this trend is still not reversed (not sure about weight, though).
> We still haven't reached the average height we were 40000 years ago[1]

Yes we do, there are a number of countries where the average height is close to 183 cm (average in your article, though there are no citations given for that fact): The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Serbia, ... In the Dinaric Alps, it even reach 186 cm, so in fact we ARE taller today[1].

But another article[2] with actual sources point to an 176.2 cm average, much smaller than today.

I, myself believe that what this guy has achieved is brilliant. Just 2 years ago when I was 14 I released my first iOS game and there was an overwhelming show support for me which encouraged me to do more, I think this guy deserves the same! If he doesn't receive the support he needs he may never see an interest in it again, give him a break, I doubt most people get past 'Hello World' anyway.

The app is a brilliant idea and the possibilities are endless for what it could potentially be, well done and continue doing what you're doing! - Alfie
Layout: absolutely broken on small screens.

Applying something like overflow: none; to your body or main container is seriously not cool for a fixed-width layout.
Not really, the issue of deployment hasn't been lack of hardware support but lack of knowledge on the part of architects and engineers. A greenfield site has enough issues getting up and running without doubling the IP stack as well.

What's really surprising is the lack of mature service provider's who are not performing incremental roll outs.
Doesnt change Dan's point though. They will be seen as wrong doing.

Solving 2014’s top digital marketing challenges
If your business does any digital marketing, you know today’s climate is competitive. People use a number of metaphors and similes to describe how inundated people are with marketing and advertising, but my personal favorite is the image of someone standing beneath a waterfall. Now imagine your brand as a single drop in that waterfall. Here are some reasons why content marketing is just so difficult.

It takes extra staff

As if your staff wasn’t busy enough, now you expect them to take on a whole other job? True digital marketing can’t be done on another employee’s off time. It takes patience, consistency, and dedication before you see any return on your investment. The trade off is to hire someone to do the content and online marketing for you, but then you need to be sure that in addition to paying their salary, you’re still making a profit.

It takes money

As was stated before, content marketing won’t write itself. So you’ll either spend money hiring someone new, or pay someone else overtime to get it done on top of their other duties. Some types of digital marketing, like pay-per-click advertisements, can be very expensive. And websites require money to keep them maintained.

It takes consistency

One problem businesses have is they get really gung-ho with marketing at first, but then when it gets busy, they neglect their content and lose followers. Without consistent, high quality content, visitors will quickly forsake your brand and search elsewhere for up-to-date information. Deshpande wrote, “Publishing new created content daily is enough to burn out your marketing team, as well as a hole in your pocket . . . Without consistent content production, your content can get buried under the thousands of articles written every day, where you readers may never see it.”

It's a big industry out there. There are those who make bespoke products, and those that take a number of pre-built more general purpose libraries and just stitch them together, and everything in between.

Stitching together libraries is easy and generally quick to produce an initial product, but can become difficult to maintain/extend and is wasteful on both run-time and development resources. This method is pretty forgiving to those that don't know exactly what they are doing, and you don't have to have any experts on your team to produce a "working" product. You will accrue lots of technical debt this way (but in a lot of projects is doesn't matter much).

Bespoke products are difficult to architect and build (properly), take a long time to develop, but are performant, malleable and predictable when done right. If you do it wrong (or your architect is hit by a bus), you have a huge mess on your hands.

Most of my experience has been about two thirds bespoke, one third stitching. In my experience, finding the right ratio depends on the amount of scaling the product needs to do, how much you're willing to spend on talent, how unusual your requirements are, and how screwed you're comfortable being if things go wrong.

I have never seen an instance where a well built bespoke product did not have a competitive advantage over a stitched one. Generally a large competitive advantage. I have also seen a number of poorly built bespoke products crash and burn; so take that as you will.
Java is much faster than any Python/Ruby/PHP stack and this is a reason alone. Javascript is similar or better but some people consider it unfit for large scale backend because of the language peculiarities with OO.
What makes you think they don't realize it?
The other bizarre to me part is how Python 2 is called "Today" and Python 3 "The future". Shouldn't they be "Yesterday" and "Today" respectively? Or maybe "The snakes of yesteryear" and "The contemporary Monty".
I...I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but it feels rude to downvote based on it. Can you elaborate on that, please?
On linux you need the distribution to update its package before most people get it. That is just wrong! You end up with old versions of just about everything. Very old versions if you use some Debian relative. What's worse is that you force software to have "releases" even if it is just some commit arbitrarily designated as "version 2.2.2".

Windows does it much better. The people who provide the software are responsible for updating.

What Windows could use is a unified update checking mechanism so that every software didn't install their own service, or nag you at startup or while in use that there is a newer version.

I even prefer the Windows method of installing but that is a little beyond this rant.

Well I, for one, want to thank you for all of this work. I have done some benchmarks in the past, and they take a ton of work!!! It's easy to sit back and armchair quarterback about performance, but it's WAY more work to sit down and do this.

I encourage anybody that has problems with your experiment to go out and retest the results and share their work!
To add to NhanH's earlier point [1]: I think it's an overall interesting thought, but the whole argument hinges on an unfortunate association fallacy [2] itself premised on a leaky and questionable analogy.

Besides, as you well know, there might well be very good complexity-theoretical reasons [3] for drawing a distinction between the easily scriptable, repeatable, limited-state steps required to implement/carry on a solution for a given problem; and the non-trivial steps it took to come up with that solution in the first place. It seems to me the great successes in automation during the industrial revolutions were mostly about parallelizing the former, not the latter; while most day-to-day computer programming predominantly involves the latter, not the former. One way or the other, it's far from evident the analogy is even applicable in this case.

That's advice that is useful in some circumstances and very dangerous in others.

People DO underestimate their own abilities, and it can be very damaging to their careers and lives.

For example, I have a friend who genuinely has world-class skills in a couple of areas, but spends most of his self-talk time telling himself that he's not as good as anyone else at those things. That's done significant harm to his health, livelihood and happiness.

Telling him, as you seem to be, to just accept all those false beliefs about his inadequacy isn't going to help even a little bit.

Having said that: you do make a very valuable point. If the other people really are better than you, then it's far more valuable to acknowledge that. But it's very important to be sure you're right in your estimation of your own skill before coming to that conclusion.

Whilst it make be the case for you personally that you never underrate your own skills, that's far from universal.

I wrote a blog post about the whole thing a while ago, actually, talking more about the comparison: http://www.mmomeltingpot.com/2012/03/wpengine-review-after-1...

Ironically, the site that review is on is one of the few I no longer host with WP Engine, but I still have something like 10 other WP sites running with them.

> Packages aren't thaaaat up to date, but pull requests to bump these things are answered in days (sometimes hours).

It's also possible to write custom packages as part of your configuration if you need them "right now", through `packageOverrides`. As a general rule, packages are updated by people who need newer versions of packages; there's not really a maintainer infrastructure like most distros have. If something needs to be done, whoever is affected by it does that thing. I'll point out that there's not a security team either yet, so it's not really suitable for real production use.

Personally, as someone who's battled the usual configuration management approach of "here's a fully working OS with its own ideas of how things should be done... now modify that through a really awful ad-hoc scripting language without breaking anything", NixOS is amazing. It's even possible to build tests into your system configuration!
