I'll disagree with patrick a bit about "a visual identity distinct..." and formatting, at least for people who never touch the frontend. The people looking for you probably don't care that much.

The website as it displays on your computer using your computer memory and screen and CPU is your space, not the website's. So what Banksy says is even more true.

I think this is referring to the ability to the tagged literals api (set data-readers[1] and change/extend the various literal notations already provided by clojure (like #uuid and #inst)). The docs seem to believe that unqualified var names are reserved and you should fully-qualify your tags, but this seems to be more of a suggestion than a requirement.

I really like the direction that Taylor has taken with Laravel in the past few months (Laracon). The creation of both Homestead and Forge will allow new users of the framework to quickly get started and removes many of the pain points that a lot of us have when starting out with web development.

If someone looking to start using a framework asked me which they should pick, I would recommend Laravel in a heartbeat. It has a friendly, active community, amazing resources to learn from (Laracasts and many books/articles) and now with Homestead and Forge it should allow a new user to get up and running in a matter of minutes.

Maybe I overlook? Are there turn-by-turn navigation api yet? Over the last year, every time I check it seems to be not available yet. I believe most or all streets in OSM only support up to street level rather than street NUMBER level. Well, please point me to some counter-examples if I am wrong.
Well the article was specifically to challenge the claim that the problem of ABP memory consumption was mostly residing with Firefox.

But in any case, regarding your point, you can set up HTTPSB as an ad blocker and forget about it:

Advantage over ABP is that it discloses to you what is still not blocked, and you act on this information if you wish so.
I tried using OSM a month ago when I was travelling around Bali, Indonesia. Google Maps is terrible there, so it wasn't like I had much choice. I looked on Google Play and found an app called "OsmAnd Maps & Navigation" that was well rated, it was also offline which was a plus as there is limited mobile coverage outside of the main parts of the island. I downloaded it then the dataset for Indonesia (200mb, it took a while), and tried finding a route. After a few minutes (!) it had calculated one, but the route definitely wasn't optimal. I tried another app "Sygic: GPS Navigation & Maps", it was premium but had a 7 day free trial (perfect for my 3 day road trip). The route it calculated seemed a lot better, so I went with that. I was actually really surprised by how well it worked, even in the north of the island which is quite undeveloped in places it was able to find the best routes.

TL;DR; Even though the dataset may be ready, you still need supporting consumer ready apps to use it.

Not really. They are based on open standards that use functionality that happens to be faster under V8 (chrome's javascript engine).

In fact, this uses threejs[1] under the hood. It is just that the version of Firefox someone is using sucks in comparison to Chrome for the three.js stuff (likely WebGL).

You could try the JOSM editor[1], but iD is about as lightweight as it gets, so I am not sure if it would be much better. For what its worth, I use iD regularly without performance issues, but YMMV on older machines. Unfortunately, vector rendering and editing will tend to push browsers to their limit. This may be alleviated somewhat by the use of WebGL in coming years.

I am of same believe. I don't use any ad blockers. And most ads don't bother me and sometimes I find useful stuff through ads. I don't even mind full page ads, that you have to view for 10 seconds before you can view the content.
But I hate ads that play sound. Those are serious distractions and usually I would close the page before I get a chance to view it. I wish we can just block only annoying ads.
Have you tried either JOSM or Merkaartor? You don't have to use the web interface, and most edits to OSM are not done through it.

Well, one thing you can do is admit everyone who a colleague you know and trust says can do research (what I've heard, quite logically, is the #1 way to get into a good graduate program, after of course convincing a professor in one to demand your admittance).

So the "schmucks" ... and I've known of one MIT professor who didn't get tenure who was in that category (a friend tried to do research in her laboratory and found it impossible, it was so badly run, something subsequent events proved) ... are either false positives from the above metric or from the cohort of department's best guesses after running out of them.
That hides it from everyone but HTML pros, and even as an HTML pro myself, I'd typically not think to check the META if they've already designed the date entirely out of the visible text. (I'd instead check for 1st appearance in the Wayback Machine.)

I suspect the best hybrid strategy, for those who feel dates complete a duty to the reader, is to put the date in small, low-contrast text near the bottom. Perhaps also, when minor edits occur, update one or more similarly-subtle 'updated' dates. That emphasizes the material is not obsolete/stale, but live reference material still maintained.
And, of course, anybody dealing with "the fog" needs a "fogbeam"[1]. :-)

All joking aside, this seems like a weird term to try and coin. Isn't it just what people are mostly calling the "hybrid cloud" today?

"Relativistic mass" is one of those concepts that was considered, bandied about in the 70s for a while, then ultimately discarded as not helpful.

Photons have no mass, period. An ensemble of photons may have a non-zero invariant mass, but there's just no way in which it's correct to say a photon has a mass.

This has nothing to do with saying that you can't convert mass to energy. Electron-positron pair creation from ultra high energy gamma rays has been a known thing for a long time. Pulsars are thought to run partly off of pair creation off the magnetic field, etc.

Clearly, no one is suggesting any such thing. For movies, there's IMDB to find such things out. For blog posts, there is no IMDB, so if you remove the time stamp, you are removing access to a crucial piece of information.
It's still fun, you just don't have the time anymore (I feel really bad if I take out a 3-hour chunk of time to play a game, or a real-time game which demands 1-hour of continuous focus).

Specifically for Node it's nice to have some notoriety, no matter how small. So create a cool Node module that does something original and email the guys at dailyjs.com about it. If it gets posted there put that in your resume and you'll land a job.

But not a lot of companies are looking for part-time programmers, why do you not want a full-time job?
There is a trade off between a language that is easy to read and that is easy to write. Wordy, English-like programming languages are typically harder to write, and that may often not be the right trade off to make. I think this is a much more credible reason why more succinct languages caught on, rather than your far fetched suggestion that mistakes need to be hidden from bosses.

5-15/hour? You're doing yourself and the industry a huge disservice, regardless what currency this is in.

Once you're set on a small amount (and charge by the hour, another big sin we're all guilty of) it's really hard to get more, and you'll end up doing crappy work for crappy clients. Don't do that.

In practice, an "open standard" that has only been suitably implemented by just one party really isn't all that open.

Now, maybe there's a greater chance that the situation will change, and other suitable implementations will eventually arise. But until that happens, an open standard with one usable implementation really isn't different from a closed standard at all.

Rest mass is mass. Photons have zero mass. "Relativistic mass" is more confusing than helpful and is generally not used in modern GR.

Cite: ask any actual physicist. I hate to appeal to authority, but this is the view I was taught in grad school (PhD, UCB, 2001), and I have never spoken to anyone in physics or astrophysics who thought "relativistic mass" was helpful.
So the more we use this app, the more contribution I can make back into OSM AUTOMATICALLY, is that correct?

I'd like to dispense just a bit of unsolicited feedback: the website is SO flashy/animated that I scrolled all the way to the end and didn't pay attention to any of the actual content.
Well, were there one, I wouldn't use it, because (I think as most genuine professionals, especially in this industry) I already have a solid workflow in place for capturing and organizing notes on arbitrary subjects at need.
Hint: double semicolons are not necessary in files (just in the REPL). Also, personally I dislike Haskell's lower/uppercase conventions, and find OCaml's syntax marginally better in this respect (although I think best would be pre-declared parameters, like in C/Java/Scala/Julia).
Go look at articles about how the Shuttle had to be changed to suit defense mission parameters -- defense missions seem like they do a lot of things that aren't just "put XXXkg of payload in orbit YYYkm up", and a vehicle designed to pop off an assembly line and just do that probably won't fit the mission.

Also, I'd argue that yes, the people who feel a need to inject Elon/SpaceX/Tesla/etc. into even the most tangentially-related threads are indeed fanboys, and are doing it out of fanboyism.

Things seems a little buggy. It just told me that alt+b was wrong for backward word in emacs, but that's what it just told me was how to do it in the learning portion of it.
I just downloaded and installed laravel yesterday. As a devops (more on the ops side) kind of guy, I was hoping for something simpler. I have a very basic PHP webapp I need to design with two or three user inputs. These inputs form a user-driven SQL query (AWS Redshift) and then generate html to create a graph (Google Charts).

I have a mockup in Balsamiq of how I want this to look. I also have a test query from PHP showing that I can connect to AWS Redshift. What I don't have is the PHP to render the user interface. Again, we are talking one text field, one three-way button and that's about it.

Anyone able to help point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
The power button is what I call "hard" allow all, i.e. it turns off completely matrix filtering.

The "all" cell (top left corner of the matrix) is a "soft" allow all, i.e. it allows everything except those hostnames and types of request which are not specifically blacklisted.
It also helps to think about it in terms of the old print formats.

Only blogging is like handing someone a stack of leaflets with some semi-descriptive tags on the side to help you navigate through them. A good test is to ask yourself if this would be useful or compelling if someone handed you a print version of the text.

Blogs developed the way that they did, I think, because they really took off as a way to socialize about the news, usually created for print or TV first. Social networks have taken over that role. Now, web publishing is beginning to take a more leading role rather than being wagged by traditional media. It helps to hold your writing to the same standards of quality that you would in a print publication.
