"Heavy feeling of over-moderation" seems to suggest that you think we're the ones doing most of the downvoting. We're not, of course; users are.
This is why we can't have nice things. zomg v8 benchmarks, I must use Chrome now. Now we get DRM.
I'm an engineer at Coinbase. There are definitely many non-US domains included (e.g. .ac.CCTLD and .edu.CCTLD).
http://monash.edu is based in Australia. It also apparently has campuses in Malaysia, South Africa, India, Italy and China.

There's also the embarrassingly bad http://australia.edu/, which is not a university and even has public signup for @australia.edu emails. Perhaps that will allow access to this promotion.
DocPad is a little more involved to get running, but does something like what you're describing: https://github.com/bevry/docpad
When I install firefox, I only have two plugins. Flashblock and NoScript. NoScript is actively maintained and lets you filter js with all sorts of options, defaulting to 'none at all'. Most sites work either perfectly or to some degree, though some fail to provide any content at all without js.

Given how trivial it is to install the plugin, I think that counts as firefox allowing disabling js.
Fellow kiwi here. Most NZ universities are included.
What boggles my mind is that there are many people who would pillory the guy who got canned at Mozilla because he gave $1000 to people to fear-monger about LGBTs, who gets multiple few-hundred-comment threads, but we talk about someone who could charitably be described as a war criminal, and also add ardent supporter of NSA surveillance and such, (i.e. things a lot more harmful and important than marriage equality) and the outrage is so lukewarm as to be non-existent.

I really don't get the culture here sometimes. Eich gets hung out to dry (which is something I still agree with, for the record) but Rice more or less gets a free pass, despite Rice having been responsible/complicit in a hell of a lot more evil in the world?
I'm not going to abuse this myself, but at MIT you can create seemingly-unlimited @mit.edu email addresses using Moira.

Getting a bunch of fresh IPs might be trickier, but you could probably wander around different WiFi access points, use the CSAIL OpenStack installation, or maybe just renew a DHCP lease a bunch.

User-agents a easy to find and change with a browser extension (or scripting).
FWIW, it wasn't enough randomness for me. I was seeing collisions in some trivial code in Chrome that worked fine in every single other browser. It's not like Chrome's Math.random performance is significantly better than other modern browsers.
This is exactly the situation today with Flash.
Click-to-play is akin to a warning. Users are somewhat aware Flash causes problems, locks up etc.
That's a challenge with _most_ scripting languages.

It used to be a major PITA with Perl. I've run into it with Ruby (and the proposed solutions are even more horrible: RPM).

And yes, Devs absolutely want teh neu hawtness.
If the computer is that old, then the user is an outlier and not the target audience for the modern major browsers. Better off finding a niche browser.
I thought the following was fairly illuminating:

if the compiler says something must be mutable, that
basically always means I forgot a mut keyword somewhere.
(Think: when was the last time you responded to a
compiler error about illegal mutation by doing anything
other than restructuring the code to make the mutation
legal?)
I just tried my @ufl.edu address and it didn't work. I would assume my university is large enough to be included.

Also, as a side note, they sent me an email asking me to subscribe to their blog before they sent a verification email. Once I subscribed to their blog then I realized it was not the same as user verification, lol.
Having been through djbware patch hell, I tend to agree, but did he not finally actually open source his software (both qmail and djbdns)?

Incredible work here! Really love this stuff.
I haven't used WebDwarf, but I've been asked to make changes to a site someone created with one of Virtual Mechanics' other products, SiteSpinner Pro and have been pretty horrified.

The HTML it spits out is basically a bunch of absolutely-positioned divs, apparently in whatever order things were edited in. That means that a box, a headline within that box and text following that headline are all in completely separate locations within the file. Completely unmaintainable unless you also have their software for further edits.
Well, now I have a coin base account but not $10. Looks like UC Davis email doesn't work.
Reading your comment the irony occurs to me that the best solution to "compile once" has been real VMs. Not Java VMs, but full god damned fucking virtual machines running the OS and environment you determine should run in them.

You've still got to provision those, but, well, they're individual and isolated and tend not to go hammering into one another. Other than consuming all available system resources.

Oddly: IBM got this right with VM ... 40 years ago?

I've been working on extending ZeroBrane Studio (the IDE mentioned in the google groups discussion you referenced) and its debugger and has posted instructions on how to debug OpenResty Lua scripts with it: http://notebook.kulchenko.com/zerobrane/debugging-openresty-....

It's an early work, but you can set breakpoints, step through the code, run ngx commands remotely, inspect stack/variables, and do all the things you'd expect from an interactive debugger. I included a screenshot in the blog post.

I'm interested in getting it to work with moonscript/lapis as well, but ran into issues with mapping source code information between moonscript and lua from the debugger.
He got off the exit right before the highway ran into Clippy-ville. Good for him. Also of a similar ilk is Neal Stephenson, who writes his stuff in Emacs (in LaTeX, I believe). There is something to be said for cranking out raw text without worrying about fighting the beast over spelling, grammar, indentation, auto-this and auto-that. If you're good, those things just get in the way.

I'm a physicist and a see a few problems with this. Currently, refereeing is essentially community service. Have you talked to any editors at journals such as the Physical Review or New Journal of Physics? I would imagine that the largest cost of running a journal (let's say an online journal) are the costs of the editors salaries. Let's say that you scale your referee system (which is cute) and add in statistics on referees (do they often accept/reject? Areas of expertise? Time to submit a review, etc.), your editor will still have to take time to resolve the inevitable disputes between authors and referees. As the number of papers grows, you will need to either have more editors, or start paying editors to do this full time.

Another problem that you will run into is the question of curated content. There is a place for having refereed content that is technically correct, but not necessarily impactful (for example, Nature's scientific reports), but such a journal will have a low impact and will have a hard time attracting impactful papers (which are still valuable for career advancement). Otherwise, your editors can start to curate the content based on impact, but this requires even more time and expertise from your editors. I think you'll eventually run into some of the same problems as traditional journals...

Have you thought about working with existing journals to improve the refereeing process?

For some of the other issues that you bring up, such as attaching code--I think that this will have to be something required by funding agencies. I have found the "new" supplementary material sections of journals to be a source of improvement...

It's not hard to avoid that, but in the nascent days of the web, few people were thinking that way. We were naive in our code. Sloppy, quickly written Perl was the norm.
he consequence might be that FF market share drop significantly, as "Mah netflicks don't werk."

I try to exclusively use the Mac App Store. Only when I can't find something close to what I want to do, I have to give up and search Google.

There are so many advantages to using Mac App Store.

• I don't need to worry about some app stealing my private files or similar.

• If it isn't good, I can leave a review that the author probably reads and cares about.

• I don't have to hunt for executables and make sure I have the license file in my mailbox whenever I want to use my copy on one of my other machines.
Correct, they cannot compute SHA256() or SHA256(SHA256()) of arbitrary data.
That's a non-choice. A choice would mean being able to choose between a variety of competing services with good offerings. Disconnecting is not a realistic choice.
Thanks for the advice. I need to do this, obviously.

I can't so how it compares, but I'm enjoying Programming in Go at the moment. It has the good sense to assume Go probably isn't your first language, so gets pretty quickly to the point rather than spending endless pages explaining what a conditional is.

2013 Founders’ Letter – Google
I am a Python beginner (being a Java dev day-jobber I've been so for more than a year now) and I badly wanted to have a good static site generator written in Python so that I could learn/practise Python while using it, by tweaking it to my needs. I was surprised to see the lack of support and documentation Python site generators suffer from - even Pelican which is a distant third on the pedestal (of stars in the list). I finally settled with Jekyll as even starting was difficult in one of those Python site generators. So seeing Jekyll having close to 5 times the stars the top Python static site generator has in that list is not surprising.
It appears like Nintendo acted like Apple does with apps (stringent reviews that have to meet their expectation, share of revenues, etc). Can anyone who has had software development experience with both Nintendo (back in the day) and Apple (iPhone days) juxtapose the two software distributors? (Using any pieces of anecdotal similarities you wish)
Thanks for the mention - we're working on a new version that'll be open-source and more comprehensive (though still limited to open-source static site generators).

Stay tuned :)
Yes we love facetime (solidarity or something). Personally don't get it. Think our poll on HK a while back proved that few of us are really effective more than 5 hrs a day. That said in China we have to be in the office which means you can't work on your own thing without feeling compromised, so weekends it is.
Yes, single binary is a great feature. All Go-based static generators share this feature (and they are pretty fast).

> Is ther any CMS/blog/... type of thing that would create flat files, but keep all the content also in DB?

Both Drupal and Wordpress have modules/plugins that produce static pages:

* Drupal: https://drupal.org/project/boost

* Wordpress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/

They're both quite mature and the standard practice for websites that get a lot of anonymous traffic using their respective CMSes.

An alternative (or supplement) to them would be something like Varnish: https://www.varnish-cache.org

I don't see that Go allows you to avoid GC any more than Java does, really. You can (and Java programmers do, with regularity) use things like sync.Pool in Java as well.

I've found these chips but a lot (all?) of them require a large purchase order and an NDA. I presume because of the encoding or something silly. I believe the HD Radio tech is obnoxiously patent encumbered. Meanwhile AM/FM chips are dirt cheap. C'est la vie.
What's more likely, coinbase is running a 'scam' or that they don't consider Orange Coast College one of the top 500 universities worldwide?
(Shameless plug) I maintain Zas, a Go static generator. I checked the other projects in Go and I must say it's funny to see how different are our approaches to the very same thing :)

The only big difference that makes Zas stand out is its more Unix-like spirit in how it handles extension through commands as plugins.

I'll check the list in the future and try to adquire some more "skills" for Zas.

Can only speak for my own experience. Everyone works long hours but this is the default culture and people are happy to.

Unless you have a startup in which case it makes the balance difficult. We have offices in 40 countries and measured that China/HK work the longest. (Well over the 10k sample size to make it relevant and excluding factory workers.)
30% of the internet isn't 30% of the web.

I don't expect Firefox to deliver the internet to me.

If 80% of the internet is Netflix streaming video to a dedicated software or hardware blob, why do I care? It seems like anyone who already wants to watch Netflix, can and will. Given the increasing ubiquity of smartphones and the discount rates you can pick up a hardware Netflix player for now, I don't really see why Firefox not playing Netflix is an issue for very many people at all.

Usually such crookedness can be avoided if competition is high enough. I.e if competitors can be profitable without ripping customers off, they could do that in order to attract customers to their option. Seeing that they are losing customers, those who resorted to price discrimination start thinking about restraining their greed. Unfortunately when completion is weak, or all participants agree on using this crooked practice to keep the prices high (which should be illegal really), they get away with it.
