Since you used the term 'dictate' to describe my response, I'm sure you'll have no problem showing which definition of the word is applicable, and why.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dictate?s=t

1.
to say or read (something) aloud for another person to transcribe or for a machine to record: to dictate some letters to a secretary.
2.
to prescribe or lay down authoritatively or peremptorily; command unconditionally: to dictate peace terms to a conquered enemy.
verb (used without object), dic·tat·ed, dic·tat·ing.
3.
to say or read aloud something to be written down by a person or recorded by a machine.
4.
to give orders.
noun
5.
an authoritative order or command.
6.
a guiding or governing principle, requirement, etc.: to follow the dictates of one's conscience.
The theory of Stanford: a senior reflection
Yeah, what he/she is saying doesn't really make sense. Perhaps he/she means that there are problems with uniformity and the dies on the edge suffer most, not because they are next to an edge, but just because they are further from the center. In that case 2-inch wafers may make more sense than 6-inch wafers.
It reminds me of a female programmer that I once worked with. By mistake she had originally named one of our busiest databases "ClickCuntDB"

It was a database for counting the clicks on our website :-)

I think this is an excellent illustration of a situation where your users get a better experience by being asked to pay money than they get by being given services for free. Putting any pay gate in front of this will greatly decrease the amount of abuse you get. You'll still have abuse problems, but abuse is largely a matter of "outrunning your friend, not outrunning the grizzly." When you're free and automatable, you are the weakest link on the Internet for possible exploitation. Even though people can use e.g. stolen credit cards and fake data to sign up for services, you will no longer be the weakest link even with that trivial barrier, greatly decreasing the amount of abuse you'll suffer.

This is why Appointment Reminder requires a CC upfront, by the way. I have very little desire to again be on a conference call with a lawyer and a police detective about violation of a restraining order made possible by an ex-husband being able to essentially proxy his harassing phone calls through my software.

There exist a variety of potential scalable anti-abuse measures you could implement here. For example, I think that foo.ngrok.com should probably have a low, hard limit on how many IPs/regions/etc should be able to connect with to it. Nobody should be putting production systems on it, so if 100 IPs are connecting to one of the ngrok sites, that's likely either a) abuse or b) a use case which you should not be supporting on a free tier.

Relatedly: the problem with abuse, here and elsewhere, isn't limited to "My hosting provider is opening tickets. If I don't catch one, the site shuts down." Abuse which your hosting provider doesn't catch is still abuse. You didn't get into the business to make the Internet a darker, more dangerous place. Make the necessary technical/business changes to avoid operating a public nuisance.

They're based on Raft--that's not a consensus protocol that's designed for multi-datacenter operations. I suspect you'll have reliability and throughput issues fairly quickly, just as you see with multi-datacenter zookeeper.

The solution Google uses for this kind of problem: multidatacenter transactions are rare, so they're not optimized for latency (instead for reliability), and they tend to use 2PC, as it's easier to get right with unpredictable WAN latencies.
>The queries I run against spark are billions of events and results are sub-second.

This is interesting, I haven't gotten Spark to do anything at all in less than a second. How big is this dataset (what does each event consist of)? How is the data stored? How many machines / cores are running across? What sort of queries are you running?

>I could only speculate as to what this users issues were.

I'm the author of the above post and unfortunately I can also "only speculate" what my issues were. Maybe Spark doesn't like 100x growth in the size of an RDD using flatMap? Maybe large-scale joins don't work well? Who knows. The problem, however, definitely doesn't seem to be anything from the tuning guide(s).
Interesting from Wiki: victim was the father of a Federal Judge, J. Michael Luttig. During his appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court, three of the nine justices recused themselves because of their personal ties to Judge Luttig, leaving six justices to review the case. Justice Antonin Scalia recused himself because Luttig had clerked for him, while Justices David Souter and Clarence Thomas recused themselves from the decision because Luttig had led the George H. W. Bush Administration's successful effort to gain U.S. Senate confirmation for them to the Supreme Court
I don't get it. What is a legitimate use case of this?

Because manufacturing cost and other costs that are a direct per unit cost, as opposed to an over all sunk cost like development, can not be recouped by 'making up for it with volume' as they say.

So a company selling such games will have a higher price floor than games without those costs, and due to that floor may not be able to achieve a profit maximizing profit maximizing point that a game without those costs may be able to achieve (such as selling 100 million games at $1 each). Their entire set of optimal production possibilities would probably be shifted inward.

Not saying a consumer should factor this in, just the game maker has a restriction on the consumers they can target that they would not have without those costs.
I'm really curious to find out in what situations Spark actually works for people. So far, no one in my lab seems to be having a terribly productive time using it. Maybe it's better for simple numerical computations? How large are the datasets you're working with?

What is your comment on the "No availability or weak consistency with datacenter failure" part?

Is that referring to Riak's cross data center replication (enterprise feature). I guess for regular case (non-enterprise version) it is true, as it is not possible to specifically assign ring sections to data centers?
As with any unusual character in Windows, you seem to be pretty much stuck with "build and install a new keyboard layout" as the general solution, though there may be editor-specific alternatives.
"there is always one little thing that I didn't have in order to get the job"

I hear you. Many times, it is not even you. Like you said, the hiring manager is probably too hung up on one specific item that they really think will hit the home run. Now, that depends on the situation. If they need an expert in a very specific niche for a 1 month contract, they probably care about that one thing. If they are looking to hire someone fulltime who can grow in the company, being hung up on that one thing is plain stupid.

"WTF do hiring managers actually want? "

I have been interviewed by tons of managers being a consultant. I would say majority of them are not always sure what exactly they want. It can change. For example, I interviewed once for a role which required a very specific vendor system experience in finance. Apparently, that system was so niche and new that they could not find anyone unless they poached from the vendor directly. So the manager decided to look at other "relevant" candidates. The problem: He had no clue what to look for. True story.

So don't get too upset about this. I say move on and keep looking. There are many great hiring mangers out there who not only understand what they want/need, they also know how to interview and find the right person without being too hung up on one thing or other.
I have no anecdotal experience as to why people do or don't switch, but I think we should keep in mind that people often have difficult understanding and articulating why they like one product over another. Especially if they're unfamiliar with the formal language domain experts use.

To speculate, what could we get from "screen size?" Maybe they mean number of icons / elements on screen. Maybe they mean larger media viewing. Maybe they mean ease of physical manipulation. Maybe they mean a different DPI point. There are lots of factors that screen size affect, some of them would apply to any device with a larger screen, some of them apply to qualities that differ across mobile operating systems (iOS' handling of resolution, for instance).

Unless you're working for yourself on your own product it's hard to find something you're 100% passionate about. But the funny thing about that is working for yourself is one of the hardest things you can ever strive to do. It is even harder when you get married and have kids because your free time evaporates to zero. Now is the time to go for independence if you can do it
That's pretty critical of Orion. I don't think NASA can make something that's designed to last 2-3 weeks in space look 'sexy' like the Dragon vehicle. Its just going to need big ugly shield, big clunky switches, etc.

The Dragon is like a yacht. Sure it can have some sexiness to it, but Orion is more like a ferry boat or cargo ship. Sexiness at that point becomes a liability.

I also don't see how parachutes will cost so much more. Orion is designed to land on the ground. Retrieval isn't a big deal.

>I really feel like somebody from the future popped into the present and 'snuck' in design that wouldn't normally be seen for 50 years or so.

Tossing in a tablet and some curved plastic doesn't make it properly futuristic, it makes it hollywood futuristic. Actually ferrying humans, safety, and cost is all that matters. Musk and Boeing play up the interiors of their capsules because its easy to do and looks good to Joe Public. NASA has no one to impress with Jonathan Ives-looking solutions, why spend time/money making them when they have really difficult problems to solve like getting the SLS going.

OP:

I'm sure the service you offer is great. Moreover, I'm sure that not requiring any identifying information greatly improves the experience you give to first-time users and increases conversion. However, you are inevitably doing a disservice to your users and the entire internet by offering hosting without any sanity checks (like an account, valid credit card or deposit). I hope you'll reconsider whether increasing legitimate usage of your service is worth inadvertently assisting criminal activity.

That does not matter. In the USA, House Representatives can draft their own bills at any time.

Now, if a huge portion of the party co-signs or sign-support of the bill, then it would be fair to call it a "GOP Backed Bill". But right now, it's not.

Yes -- that's my understanding of it. Bone conduction is better, he said, and less cumbersome.
This is the real kicker for some applications.

After all, Knuth didn't write TeX because he needed a typography solution, he wrote it because he needed a typography solution for mathematics.

All these years later, and TeX (with or without LaTeX) is far and away the best solution I know of.

As for the mass market: Word's typesetting of mathematics is terrible, as is the interface (for anything but the simplest expressions). MathML is an interesting idea, but has a long way to go on the actual typesetting, as well as being much more painful to use than LaTeX...
That cloud box at home is good, I think, as long as Joe Consumer knows to leave it switched on and plugged into the intertubes. So with you on config data.
No, everyone else is confusing an entire gender with a person.

It is not fair to ask person A to put themselves at risk for person B when person B is not willing to put themselves at risk for themself.

This isn't about gender, if it were two men, no one would blink twice at me asking why the software dev didn't put themselves at risk. But because we have a social expectation of protecting women, even by women themselves, people expect the male software dev to put themselves at risk for the female software dev, even if the female software dev is not willing to put themselves at risk.
For that you get a pretty awesome collector's edition box and lots of goodies.

Plus, for me at least, you get the modern take on Elite that you've been waiting 20 years for.

An important peice not touched on in this article is that Senator Ted Cruz apparently said earlier this month that he plans to introduce similar legislation.
Only one of my jobs did I get in the door because of a connection. My other jobs were just all responding to job ads. I think the key is for you to filter job ads extensively yourself and only apply to jobs that: (1) you're passionate about and (2) are completely qualified for. Then write a great cover letter and a resume just for that job.

I was a little surprised to find out this morning that this was already public.

The cryptography audit for Truecrypt is going to be run much differently than the software security audit. We'll have more to say about it next week, but for now: it's something in between a "public bug bounty" and a "summer of code" program. Me, Nate, and several other crypto people will be working not as consultants to the projects, but as "mentors" (I hate that term) leading developers interested in cryptography.

As to why the audit is proceeding: it's obvious, at least to me. Tens of thousands of people will continue to use Truecrypt no matter what we do, and if nobody takes a serious and organized look at its cryptography, the circumstances behind the conclusion of its development will create yet another Internet Crypto Urban Legend.
There seems to be a fundamental disagreement about the correct analogy.

Is it akin to going to a bank during normal business hours and using lawful powers of observation, i.e., implicitly authorized? Or is akin to breaking into the bank after its closed, or otherwise violating some implicit lack of authorization, e.g., going somewhere off-limits, such as trying to secretly enter the vault?

Because I think you'll recognize the inherit danger of allowing people to willy-nilly try and break into banks to "test they are actually fulfilling their promise".
I have used it for Appointment Reminder development. It is fundamental to the architecture of the app that Twilio needs to be able to fire HTTP requests against my app, live, when my Twilio phone numbers get called/SMSed. Making HTTP requests against a laptop is hard. Ngrok lets me register a subdomain with Twilio and say "OK, Twilio API, when the dev number is called, hit this URL on this subdomain. It forwards to a laptop but you don't have to know that."

It is also useful for more prosaic cases like, in a Campfire room, "Hey, I have a new design on localhost. Can you sanity check it for me? foo.ngrok.com/the/page/goes/here"

And thankfully that isn't what I said, because I agree that would be a ridiculous argument.

What I said is that after getting blamed constantly for no other reason than being born with a cock I've stopped caring what the people doing the blaming think.

Another way to look at it is like this:

Men are not stupid. They know if they've been sexist or not. When you blame them for shit they know they are not involved in, it means they cannot trust you when you blame other men for shit they didn't witness.

> "Reclassification would heap 80 years of regulatory baggage on broadband providers, restricting their flexibility to innovate and placing them at the mercy of a government agency."

He's not wrong. Title II is the worst kind of 1970's era regulatory framework, the kind we've been trying hard to leave behind since the Reagan. It was initially penned in 1934, for a world where AT&T was government-sanctioned monopoly. Worries about investment in the telecom sector were not applicable, because AT&T was guaranteed monopoly returns in consideration for being heavily regulated.

If you impose monopoly-era regulations without the security of having an actual monopoly, all you'll do is turn telecom into an investment ghetto. Who will want to invest tens of billions of dollars into "dumb pipes," just so software/internet companies can take all the profits because they're not regulated?

Note that countries that have gone the way of regulated telecom infrastructure didn't just impose common carrier regulations on existing privately-funded networks. E.g. when British Telecom was privatized, the government devised a system to guarantee that they would get substantial returns on their investment, and wrote those terms into the prospectus for private investors who bough the stock.
Replace Watch Dogs with any game you wish and the point still remains.

In 1990 you had a game that was 1-2 players, 16 bit, no upgrades/updates in content or playability, no versatility in mediums, limited scope of possible actions within the game itself. In 2014 you can play with a number of players greater than 2, a few more colors, constant updates in content and playability, easy played on any number of platforms and a drastically increased set of possible actions within the game.

You are frustratingly trying to explain that a narrow capability system with great stability is greater than a wide capability system with a decrease in stability.

I think you can forget that "sooner" part. Colloquialisms are very, very, stubborn. For example, German and Dutch still have the word "ellenlang" (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ellenlang), literally "ells long", but typically used to describe durations (a long boring talk can be 'ellenlang'), even though the meter has been the unit of length for almost two centuries. Similarly, "miles long" is still in use for long, tedious or annoyingly large distances.

I'm pretty non-savvy about servers, but I have been trying to learn ansible, and at the same time I wanted to consolidate some personal servers, so I used this to deploy more-or-less the same thing on DO the other day:

https://github.com/al3x/sovereign

My experience was that it wasn't impossible, and faster than spinning up a postfix/dovecot server by hand... but it was really buggy and lots of little problems. As far as I could tell, there were some problems using the encfs with the kernal DO uses, and that took a lot of troubleshooting.

I am thinking that at some point there will be a setup that is as easy as, say, spinning out a wordpress site on shared hosting.
