Its not just the food. For an equally good time compare the employees and customers in the advertisements with actual employees and actual customers.

For some retail establishments like Walmart this can be highly contrasting. Olive Garden and Applebees are strangely honest.
What a great idea, I'm really impressed with the cleverness and execution.

A few thoughts and questions for you (you may have already thought of/know about):

- Have you thought about "well-formedness" for the HTML? I realize that adding anything besides the script tag would sort of ruin your point, and it would be nice if browsers accepted that, but also I feel there are sometimes hidden benefits to serving a well-formed document under the correct content type that the server said was being sent (or extension).

- This makes your site awesome to read with a text browser or curl.

- About 1/2 or 1/3 of the times I click "back" or "next", I can't scroll the page after it renders. (Chrome/MacOS)

- The footer support is cool, have you thought about how you would do more extensive template support? (Maybe there's no reason anything extra couldn't be placed in the footer -- analytics, even a header -- although I think a favicon might need to be in a `<head>` tag). Integrating this directly with Markdown, too, could be really cool.

- P.S. Your footer link says "Chanpter" :)

Great work, I love when I find something like this -- really clean, simple, and challenges the norms in a clever way. The result even appears quite polished.
"You think models wake up looking like that every day? They have a lot of people making sure they look as good as they can—same thing with food,"

Except that when you see a model, what's being sold to you is the outfit the model is wearing, not the model itself.

As of 2013, if you get a free cert for something.example.tld, it also includes a subjectAltName for example.tld (which is usually desirable if something is "www" but undesirable if it's something else).
> and in fact "character" is wholly incorrect for anything like "#_" or "#'" which consist of multiple characters.

#_ is a character for the dispatch invocation, and a dispatch character. The way it's used in TFA is perfectly understandable.

> All of this is summarized in a much more succinct and correct fashion here: http://clojure.org/reader

Which uses the word "character" to describe them. And gives no examples, so it may be more succinct but is also of very limited use to people who have no idea what this is about. Those who know what it's about are not going to google for macro characters.

True, but don't forget that the JS and CSS is cached so after the first page load - every other page is instantly ready to be rendered.
Yeah, the actual style they use for the navigation app is shown in the next picture down, and is far more sparse.
He's talking about a specific cycle in computing where it has moved from centralized processing to decentralized multiple times in the past. For example

-first there were mainframes with glorified type-writes as terminals

-then we had personal computers

-then we had thin clients

-then we had thick clients

-etc

Basically this has happened before, will likely happen again, yet people (or maybe just tech reporters) always seem so surprised when the pendulum swings back the other way
Yeah, they do. Flynn (http://flynn.io) and Deis (http://deis.io/) are other popular choices, though Flynn is extremely new and difficult to get running properly, and it's not production ready. Deis is based on CoreOS now so it won't work on Digital Ocean at the moment if you prefer using them.

Technophants believe 1) technology solves all problems more or less instantly and 2) the only reason any problems exist are because one or more of bureaucracy, regulation, ignorance(luddism), lack of monitization scheme have prevented the technical solution from being applied.
I'm entirely on your side on this (PhD, UChicago, 2006), but there are still a bunch of physics teachers out there (mostly not doing research in related fields, is my rough impression) who will vigorously defend teaching the "relativistic mass" concept. They raise some decent points, but in my opinion none of it comes close to outweighing the arguments in favor of treating mass as an invariant property.

That's unfortunate. I understand where you are coming from on making this absolutely as simple as possible for those who are maybe not so admin inclined, but I feel it's limiting to actual administrators/devops engineers, who are more than comfortable with traditional config management systems.

Personally as an administrator I want to be able to continue to use Ansible from the command line, but then grant access to my developers to a UI where they can easily spin up instances for temporary use.

That's just my use case. Otherwise, looks like a cool product. Good work.

That's not true in this case - the JS and CSS are cached but the output of the JS (the rendered HTML) is dependent on the execution of the JS. If that meets any delay (ie, through parsing 1,000 nodes in a document for example), the page will look unformatted until the parsing is complete.

It's an example of why we are doomed.

The law was caused by a combination of dumb/naive politicians thinking they were preventing tracking/spying and self righteous political opportunists pretending they were in the first group. They had a vague understanding of what cookies are and how they work and made a law that is the equivalent of painting a second lock on a door for extra security.

The net result is that they have effectively mandated nag screens and done nothing to protect anyone's privacy.

Having politicians with a "high level understanding just doesn't work here. Cookies are controlled by the browser and the browser is controlled by the udder so the sensible solution is for the browser, not the law to make rules about who should be able to set them when.

I listened to some parliamentary comitee hearing once about parental controls online. It was being chaired by some arrogant and clueless parliamentarian playing the concerned mother. It was horrifying. Like listening to Pointy Haired Boss reprimanding Charles Darwin.

Highly recommended.

> So for those of you who live in the US, congrats. The situation in my area is nowhere near as good. I've got a couple Garmin GPSes ...

This smells of FUD. First, we are talking about OSM. Not whatever tiny dataset is loaded onto a Garmin. Second, you did not name your location.

Any time someone says "oh, you can't use online maps in $country" I pick some little town in the middle of nowhere and OSM consistently has three times as many roads as the Big Name maps.

> Unfortunately all the mapping software I've tried is so horribly slow

You don't need mapping software. Just wander around, export to GPX and upload the GPX to OSM. Someone else can do the editing from your traces.
Thank you kind sir, good to know - hope this helps someone. I had the impression that CAcert were fairly legit.

I went to a PXL-2000 film festival about 15 years ago in Vancouver which was absolutely brilliant. It's amazing how creative people get when forced to deal with constraints.

Speaking of constraints, the camera apparently had a problem with its RF filter, which resulted in a lot of static when you were recording to the audio tape. Someone figured out you could hack in your own RCA video out connector, so most of the films shot with the camera have been modded to get a better picture. Here's a link on how to mod one: http://users.speakeasy.net/~joem/Pxl/guide.html
The air pump is probably superfluous, you could just have a cell phone vibrator style motor...
Sorry, doesn't work. Light still exerts pressure, so even if you could losslessly trap light in a storage container indefinitely, the container would explode long before the energy density became 'infinite'. Furthermore, the energy and momentum in light contributes to the gravitational field, so even if you could make an infinitely strong mirror-box, pumping too much energy into it would eventually result in collapsing into a black hole.

hmmm... before Snowden said it out we didn't know anything about what NSA is doing, but at that time, the US government was always saying China is doing what NSA is doing.

I was not accusing anything, but you see, the announcement is lack of persuasion.

The spying game seems to be a zero-sum game. After charged china for spying for business, the US government may find it won't have any effect, then the best strategy will turns out to be doing the same. Think about the billions of the dollars companies spend as political contribution.

Colloquially if most people eat there, you have to ask a server for a bag its a restaurant, if its normal or at least not noteworthy to walk out (or drive thru) with a bag of food its a store. One is primarily a place to eat, and they also happen to sell food. The other is a place to get food, although you can often sit there and eat.

Internally if its a franchise most call it a store (Hi we're store #35135 and our computer is broken ...). My source is my sister who worked a long time ago at McD. So the first "site" museum is called store number 1, her job title eventually was "store manager", their annual economic results are reported as "same store sales" etc.

I use one as well. It makes loud clicky sounds, doesn't feel like you are typing on oatmeal, you could kill a man with it, and it doesn't have Windows keys. Aside from the USB connection, it could have been made in 1988. So it's pretty much perfect.
Your suggestion "write three pieces and polish them to a mirror shine" has a long and substantiated precedence: scientific publishing. The fact is, you're judged by the quality of your work. Better to produce something of lasting significance that just throw some 'musings' up on the 'net.
Another big difference is how they cook the patties. They only brown a frozen patty. This is why it look thicker. When you cook the patty it looses fat and juices. This makes it look thin.

This is an awesome idea, and looks like it is very well executed. I have two suggestions:

- Add some sparse html tags (i.e. a basic doctype/body), which can help with search engine parsing.

- You'll notice that for a few milliseconds on page load, the text is shown before the JS rendering takes over. This can probably be solved via Javascript, just find a way to cache or pre-load the pages.

"This item cannot be installed in your device's country"

Huh?
I know this is an answer most people don't want to hear, but why not build your own Ansible / provisioning workflow and use that to do everything these services do?

I have one built in Ansible for our Python webapp and the entire configuration is encoded in the playbooks, rolling up the application into a source distribution, pip installing it, and also installing the dependencies...

Very easy, dependable, and extremely flexible.
to be honest, i have yet to use a keyboard that is better than my Model M
Another neat show of letting the client deal with the rendering.

From the example[1]:

"You see, there is really no need for the server to generate anything for simple article-based sites like this. If the user wants to read your blog they can spend a few processor cyles[sic] to render the page themselves."

This paradigm is beyond me and it seems to be growing for whatever reason. Client-side processors rendering bytes through a separate engine, other than the HTML one, only to have it eventually run through the HTML engine so the client can actually read it.

The thought that everyone has a decent machine to do the processing is, in my experience, still a false one. This was true 5-10 years ago, and I haven't seen evidence that it isn't still true today.

Your server probably has many, many cores. Probably SSD architecture. It is barely blinking to answer a request and deliver text. Why on earth would you leave the simple job of wrapping markup around text, to a machine that you know nothing about?

The average Internet user isn't terribly savvy. Their browser is possibly cluttered with add-ons. Their computer more than likely running 100s of background processes they know nothing about.

Depending on the stats you look at, in 2014, we're looking at a lot of folks with dual-core machines and a couple GB of memory, if they are lucky.

I can't understand why you would want to delay or hinder the experience to getting to your content.

While it may load really fast on your Macbook Pro Retina, or ThinkPad X1, that has a few text editors open and an up to date browser, the experience won't be true for everyone.

When did it become trendy for developers to put burdens on their clients with all of this front-end first thought? Just because it makes it easier for you to write and deploy, doesn't give you the excuse to put the burden on the user for rendering your stuff.

How many more times do we need to read about companies being forced into dropping this ill-conceived paradigm because they realized it made the experience for the client worse, and in many cases, made the development worse as well?

In this example, we end up with an HTML file that is all of 6,084 bytes.

To get there in this example, we used jr.js, a 5,616 byte file, to load showdown.js, a 14,859 byte file, and render 651 bytes of text. Sometimes, the loading and rendering is so slow, that the code itself has handling for it:

// Empty the content in case it takes a while to parse the markdown (leaves a blank screen)
jr.body.innerHTML = '<div class="spinner"></div>';

21,126 bytes to generate 6,084 bytes of text which has to now be rendered (one more time) by the browser.

Wouldn't it be great if there was some standard about the bytes that were delivered over the wire that everyone could use and build upon? Folks should get together and build a really good processor of bytes coming over the wire that's delivered in a particular format to be rendered on the screen. It would be great for the Internet! You could browse the entire thing!

To reduce the number of filters in Adblock, a simple way is to let it run for a few days with a popular black list such as EasyList. Then open the list in the preferences, sort it by number of hits, and unselect all the filters with 0 hits (there are so many of them, that probably something like 99% of them never get any hits). You can select the filters, and press "Space" to disable them all in one go.
The lovely thing about the internet is that there is an ever-increasing horde of people who will put their content out for free. For each purely ad-dependent site that goes, several sites - from free to paid - will take their place.
A more practical "worry" is that the IPv4 address space has been exhausted and most consumer-grade routers have hard-coded limits as to how many devices can be simultaneously connected. Shame on me for thinking that Wired would include any technical discussion, though.
