> Even watching in English would not be a problem

Actually, that would be the only reason why I would subscribe to Netflix. I completely and utterly despise the German dubbed American and English TV shows and movies. That's why Amazon Prime streams are useless to me.
A Contractor’s Guide To Recruitment Agencies
I wrote this on the home-bound train one night during a tough time with the startup. I assured you, no creative license here. The hours were pretty brutal on a couple of occasions. I made sure that everything is well supported at home first though.

I wrote this because I honestly was missing my daughter a lot and hope that capture that feeling and put it into words. I do my best to take care of my family and express my care to my love ones.

I think at the end of the day, we're all engineers, hackers, lovers etc. and it's our nature to solve anything that seems like a problem coming our way. This is why I decided to share it with everyone. Because I know that home-bound train, I wasn't by myself and there were others who were on it with me.

Thank you for your kind words to me. I am flattered and somewhat embarrassed when you call it "arts" though. I'm shy! I don't even call it poem because I didn't want to offend those who truly dedicate themselves to the craft. I'm simply a convert who wanted to share a feeling I captured.

Take care.

Thanks for reminding about this. I was using a separate checking account just for Paypal. Until they "restricted" my PP account. Since I've stopped using PayPal now I keep some money on that checking account. Went to update my profile...

1. You cannot remove a primary credit card from your profile. There is only one option "Edit" where you can change expiration date and Billing Address. Entering incorrect expiration date does not work. It only allowed me to change billing address.

2. Removing checking account is not confirmed. Once I've clicked "Remove" button I was redirected to login screen. Now when I try to access my bank account I am signed out and redirected to login.

I hate calling them, but looks like that's my only option.
I can't seem to find a contact form on that page?
And interestingly, even for non-dubbed films they'll still translate the title. So the original Star Wars with subtitles will still be announced as "La Guerre des étoiles"
To anyone running headless systems, it's worth mentioning that this works extremely well for remote control of network systems. I've played with it a bit so far and I'm quite impressed with the low latency/high quality.
Here in Portugal we mostly subtitle as well, even though our population is definitively not fluent in English. On the other hand, the older population watches disproportionately fewer shows in English, preferring national daytime talkshows and soap operas (national and imported from Brazil), so dubbing would probably be too expensive per watcher.
They will happily let you pay for it, you just need to have a cable subscription first.

They are going to keep all of their money maker current programming exclusive to their platform for now unfortunately as this is how they currently can afford to make new episodes of Game of Throes for $6 million an episode.

This is a good step though as there is some old content I've been wanting to watch forever which I now can do.
Career? Status? Worrying about the kids' college fund? They're all related.

Regardless of how you want to split this particular strand of hair, the bottom line is that media's main incentives nowadays are NOT to inform and educate the public.
Unit Tests are becoming more popular in iOS as the Rails community strengthens and influences other developers, but I agree there are some aspects in which integration tests using something like KIF can be far more valuable in making sure that the code is working as intended.
Seen it, didn't like it.
I think it's because the author of the site places that as an extremely high priority, when configuring your OS is actually something that depends completely on the individual's tastes and preferences.
It is much harder to edit the thinking that led you to write it in the first place.
Show HN: Breathe – Simple stress management tool for coders
The third-party addon story for Asheron's Call, a MMO which pre-dated WoW by around five years, was like a dark, gritty crapsack world version of that parallel universe.

There was no supported add-on mechanism; instead, a player-written framework called Decal hooked into the executable at runtime, and Decal exposed an API for plugin authors. I can't remember all the details, but I think did a mixture of intercepting function calls inside the client, injecting calls to client functions, parsing client memory to expose data to plugins, and either parsing the network stream directly to capture events or hooking into the client's packet parser.

Oh, and this wasn't a nice safe Lua or Ruby API. It was an unmanaged COM API, so you had all the headaches which come with dealing with reference counting, pointers, and all the rest.

Every month (and every interim patch), there would be a great whine and moan from the players until the memlocs file was updated, and all the plugins started working again. (Unless something more substantial in the client had changed, of course, requiring more work.)

It was a seriously impressive technical achievement by the people behind it. And looking back on it, rather scary...

You'll need to pass the referrer as parameter of the iframe URL.
Wow, how is that legal? (honest question). If you are a paid subscriber to both Comcast and HBO GO I don't see what the issue is?
How is HBOGO different from Xfinity On Demand? If you subscribe to HBO, all content is anyway available OD, so there is no real need for a separate 'client' for watching it.
Looks like the combination of histadeploy and ghost have garbled the about/cv/... links? I'm guessing ghost is set up to use some javascript shenanigans for display?

Damnit I'm too late. It looks really cool, and I've dabbled with Android - this looked like the perfect tool to get started on iOS with.

Not directly -- I don't think I've ever seen a (U.S.) credit card application which didn't also want your social security number. That said, it's a pretty good start.

With a scant choice of movies on Netflix UK (most of which are either old or at the bottom of the box-office leaderboard) doubt they'll gain any significant traction in EU. I'd rather have them spend extra cash to acquire licences for streaming popular movies and TV shows in EU.
This is true. But it's less true for tools that degrade gracefully - Wordpress may be damn convenient, but it's a pain to move away from. For some static site generators, you can simply throw away the tool and continue editing the output with no downside over never having used the tool in the first place.

(The same applies in other domains, too - it's fine to rely on gcc's many -W switches, but be careful with its custom C dialect; etc.)
Repeating the headers and footers even eight times seems unworkable to me. I'm quite certain I'd mess up at some point, and one page would be different from all the others. Maybe there are some projects where that doesn't matter, but I haven't worked on such a project.

For me, a static site generator is the bare minimum.
So what if I have to repeat the navigation markup 8 separate times? It’s not that hard. We used to do it for much larger sites!

I would still be tempted to use a static site generator for it. You can always hand over the compiled output for the next person to maintain.

Other tools like sass/less, I would be less tempted partly because it's slightly harder to get human maintainable output (though the argument of a small site counters that too!)
Well with iOS development, you get Xcode, I'm not too sure what you can do in terms of customization.

Maybe its the buzz words "freshest developer" and "best configuration". I mean, those are probably the least important things in the process of learning to program.
What is it about battery technology that seems to attract the nutty companies?

This is a collaboration between an academic research department and a mining conglomerate, with the CTO being the guy who developed the nickel cobalt aluminum cathode for the lithium batteries they use in the Tesla and the Prius. I wouldn't call it nutty.
I just bought it as well and was also trying to get HTTPS proxying to work. I am not a security guy, so I could be incorrect, but I think there are two things going on here:

1) the certificate generated by Proxy is 512 bits which OS X doesn't support; and

2) i'm not sure that Proxy will work with sites that use HSTS -- you might be able to clear the HSTS database in Chrome, but still for sites like Google, I think the certificate information is hard-coded.
Not as common as other places, but becoming more so. Etsy has a great presentation about their test framework for their iOS apps.
Today, a basic HTML/CSS site seems almost passé. But why?

Logically, a small website should be built with static HTML and CSS. So why build an overly complicated infrastructure with a web application front-end and a database back-end (which needs to be regularly maintained) just to display a simple website?

In many cases, WordPress became the hammer looking for anything that resembles a nail.
The question was why did he say one thing then do another.
I made this largely for myself. When I work, I don't take in much oxygen. I guess I never developed a proper breathing habit. Also, stress has a significant effect on your health, and I don't have the patience for a dedicated yoga/meditation session.

For those who don't want to try it, this app blocks your current chrome tab with a reminder to breathe deeply for a minute or two.
I agree that when it comes to Wordpress or nothing it's better to pick nothing. But the newest Joomla is pretty nice, comes with Bootstrap and it's responsive out of the box etc.

Updating pages through a CMS is also easier to an end user, than editing text files.
But that assumes the files are available? Eg: it doesn't allow you to deploy a small mediawiki instance as a static site? (or any number of other smart/silly/useful/crazy uses for wget mirroring to disk, then copying)?
"We have detected that you are not located within the US. Due to licensing restrictions, Amazon Instant Video customers must be located in the United States when viewing videos online."

This question may sound silly, but do you live/run in a place that is ice free most of the year?

I wonder because I live in a part of the world where, if I'm lucky, I can run outside for about six months of the year (1). I love running for those six months, but the rest of the year, it is so icy that the risk:reward of running outside is too high.

Because of this, the moment I see subscription, I know that I won't become a customer. In my mind, it doesn't make sense to subscribe to something I'll only use for half the year. I know I could likely unsubscribe in November, but realistically, the odds that I'll subscribe again in April are almost zero.

I wonder if you could pivot into more of a safety app for seniors? My Grandma, for example, loves to walk but she has had two heart attacks and she is in her 90s. Personally, I'd subscribe to an app (and pay almost anything) if it meant that I'd get a text message if my Grandma stopped walking and stayed still for more than x minutes.

(1) - Clearly, I don't think things through and likely shouldn't be trusted...:)

Edit: I found this: http://www.hackingnetflix.com/2011/11/comcast-not-supporting...

So, if this is the same issue: it's not that Comcast is using packet inspection to prevent HBO Go from working, it's that they have not partnered with HBO to allow authentication. So you are paying Comcast for HBO but you are not getting them to vouch for that fact.

I meant in sum. You have a point, but those aren't really regressive taxes so much as flat taxes.
This is a neat tool for moving data around, but for serious stuff I'm not sure why you would use this over the official snapshot / restore API (http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/referenc...).

While the API there is a bit more cumbersome, it's one less dependency, and should be more efficient.

For the specific use case of backups, the official API is even less cumbersome, esp. if you're using the cloud plugin and the S3 export option.

"And for that matter, why even bother with Sass? Regular old CSS can do the job just fine."

I do not think Saas means what you think it means.

Edit: I made a reading mistake
Putting Amazon Instant on the main shopping website is such a befuddling experience.

I'm on Amazon Instant. I see they have some HBO stuff, so I search for Game of Thrones. The auto-suggest immediately directs me to the books, ignoring my context. So, I skip auto-suggest and search just in HBO, and I'm prompted to buy Season 1 for $40. Huh? Meanwhile I'm always being distracted by recommendations to buy those solar panels I searched for a month ago.

I think it was a bad idea to conflate the contexts of "shopping" and "looking for entertainment" so throughly. I don't think Netflix has anything to worry about.
2048 gestures
Because Roku is a one-time purchase, where additional cable boxes are monthly fees. I already own the Roku. By taking away HBO Go access on it, I can no longer watch HBO in that room at all.

Last I checked, all the content wasn't available on-demand either. There was a larger selection on HBO Go versus On Demand. OD only has the last 1-2 seasons of the series it has at all, and has fewer movies. HBO Go has all the seasons of all the series.

Sass, not Saas.
I am curious as to how this sort of setup would work for processes that take a bit to load - such as when building an in-memory index. In my case, I have several services that take ~30s+ to start, and as such do a rolling restart. envconsul would just sigterm an entire tier, causing outages.
Do you know what Sass means? http://sass-lang.com/
Yeah, have you seen what the Scalaz guys are doing? The operators aren't even ASCII! Apparently, there's something about monads that absolutely requires weird symbols.
Maybe your question is genuine, so I'll reply with my genuine response: why not? What business is it of Comcast if someone wants to watch an Internet service they've paid for on their Roku or Playstation or Linux PC?

Came here to say something very much like this. A good static site generator has no downsides:

- It's easier for you, the savvy developer who groks the toolchain, because it allows structure and reduces repetition.

- It may very well be easier for the next person who wants to add a page or change some copy, because editing Markdown and running a couple (admittedly esoteric) commands is likely still easier than editing HTML directly.

- If the next person doesn't understand or like the toolchain, they can ignore it entirely and edit the HTML directly, which is no worse than if you didn't use a generator at all.

So yeah, you don't have to use tools, and yeah, CMS sites and compile-to-CSS is probably overused in the small-site market, but I think static-site-from-Markdown with vanilla CSS is a pretty sweet spot for this!
This is a strange argument. What if you don't actually subscribe to HBO, but still have account privileges?

Or, on your basic shared hosting, you'll usually find PHP too. While I'm not advocating a ton of calls to do all sorts of things with databases and who knows what else, a set of PHP includes (and maybe a few additional helper functions) would be similarly useful.
This report is based on PISA test results, and you can find some sample questions here:

I think these questions are quite fair at testing the mathematical abilities of students. These questions don't simply test mechanical calculations, but also require applications of mathematical knowledge and insight towards problem solving.

If you disagree, then can you provide examples for better questions to test students at their mathematical skill level?
Certainly it's not going to be a panacea, but if you are familiar with O'Caml or SML you can hopefully sort of see how it's going to be of immense help when dealing with "trivial" package upgrades and such.

Hopefully Yesod will also (if/when this Backpack thing comes to fruition) expose some sort of stable interface for, say, the 5.x series.

You haven't earned my respect. At every opportunity, you lose what little there might have ever been.

If you won't listen to reason unless reason strokes your ego, then you were never interested in it anyway. There are plenty of people willing to treat you with the false respect you think you deserve, you don't need me.

And everything you get, you'll deserve it.

> No, my argument was that "same amount of traffic" is obviously a meaningless metric.

It's not meaningless. It's what was agreed upon.

How would you like it if someone made a deal with you, and then a few months later wants to change it because "hey that stuff we agreed to is meaningless"?

Seriously, what the fuck would that even mean? It would be nothing more than someone trying to bully you.

No judge would rule in that guy's favor. If (when) it made it to court, the judge would say "this is not meaningless, it is what was agreed to in the contract".

When you say "meaningless", what you're saying is "I don't give a shit about the agreement, I just want things my way".

The real world doesn't work like this.

> Settlement-free peering fits when there is roughly equal levels of value derived from the traffic.

Yes. And when that is not the case, one party either pays the other... or they stop peering.

You get that right? Comcast has more than one peer. They don't need Level 3. As others have said in replies to my own comments, no one is going to dump Comcast over that, so Comcast wouldn't have much to lose except some bad press.

envconsul is a fairly simple UNIX tool. Instead of executing your application directly with it, you can put a rolling restart script on it to do this sort of thing. This answer is a bit of a cop out, but it is something that works today. Example:
