I've already addressed peer review with you earlier in this thread. You need to look closer at the site.

Also, Onarbor devised reputation building to be similar to what Stackoverflow (SO) is doing with Reputation for computer programmers (REF below). The reputation you earn on SO is replacing the C.V. in hiring decisions across silicon valley. Onarbor more or less replicates SO's Reputation system with the analogous intent to replace existing academia advancement mechanisms.

It's code I've invested a lot of time in, but was never written with the idea that other people would see it, so 75% worried at how horrifying the code might be and 25% worried that someone might make a build and push a clone out with malware attached.

IMO we've come full circle back to this "form over function" with every site requiring multiple js libraries.

Whatever happened to good ol' static html with some CSS?
I cant believe people are giving you such bad advise...

Your problem is simple, your traffic is low.

I just checked my sources and it seems you get an average of 22 visits per day.
Assuming at least half of these are yours, it's obvious you're not getting any sales.

Don't focus on anything related to design, A-B testing, complex in site chat, etc.

Think of it like this, if your shop is located in a hidden alley, and only 10-20 people visit it per day, you can't expect to make any sales, much less get any useful feedback from A-B tests.

There is obviously stuff you must fix, as the images and the logo, but focus on getting customers/sales.

Some good suggestions are:

-Sell through your social circle.

-Get partnerships with blog owners.

-Post about your deals on related forums.

I cant see your site not making sales if you have 1k visitors per day, regardless of all the stuff other users suggested.
To me, this is going to be the only thing that matters : dill this language be used for non-apple platform coding. I've been looking for a language just like that for a very long time on the server side for example.
> it does not address the real issues of DNS management: space to store all zone data, bandwidth to support requests flow, resources to handle the load.

You're absolutely right! However, as you said, it solves the user's problem from their point of view.

The main reason I started this project was that other dyndns alternatives (whether they be proxies or "fully-fledged" operations) have rather ugly domain names, in my opinion. 'zzzz' popped into my head, I saw that 'zzzz.io' was free, and decided to get it. A few weeks later, I finally got around to throwing a webapp together so others could benefit.

Not such a horrible thing to do, or?

And yes, the service is backed up by Amazon's Route 53. I did learn a thing or two about BIND and DNS from the experience though, which is also a plus.
No, localtunnel or ngrok will tunnel a local port (such as for instance 127.0.0.1:80) to a public domain name (alias.ngrok.com). This only redirects an alias to your ip address (alias.zzzz.io -> wan-ip-address).

The big difference is when you are inside your local network behind the router, or at work behind a firewall simple accessing the wan-ip won't reach your machine, unless you do port-forwarding (which isn't always straightforward or even possible.)

Ngrok solves this problem by being in the middle, both your machine and a person visiting alias.ngrok.com are connecting to ngrok, ngrok just passes the data along.

What this service however is good for is to have a dns address that always points to your local machine or your home network if your ISP doesn't provide you with a static ip (thus your ip changes every so often).
The article does complain about lack of uniformed information about the printers, then advertise their search feature and then their shop. They seem to have inserted a lot of metadata about printers, but actually you can't search for those.

There's something fundamentally wrong with how the market of low cost 3d printers evolved. 3D printers are a great tool but they are often advertised as a plug and play device that can produce anything in plastic at no hassle. But (most of) the machines aren't that advanced or that complex already. there are just too many variables that will go wrong, examples being diameter difference and composition differences on filaments, ambient temperature and humidity.

What vendors can do at the moment is keeping the hassle for the customers at a minimum by supplying well working machines or kits. But that is a measurement that is extremely hard to measure.
Any command-line script in Python that uses a significant codebase or a significant number of libraries. For me the main example is Mercurial -- it takes about 200ms (on my Mac) to run even a trivial command, and that's plenty long enough to get in the way.

It's about 60ms on my other laptop (Linux), and that's just at the threshold of noticeable and annoying.
I use it myself, so it'll be up for the foreseeable future. Enjoy.

If you're not going to hold to a schedule, why make a schedule at all? Why not just say "We'll talk sometime" and let it happen when it happens?

Exactly! The comments in this thread are making that possibility look like an evil thing.
True, but it's nice to be recognised anyway. I'm sure the awards have given them a little bump in popularity.

I think that 2048 is a more accessible game. It takes zero time to figure out how it works. Whereas Threes is a little more complex. I enjoyed figuring out how it works, though.

Btw, if you are trying to give your home-network with a dynamic ip address a hostname to access it from the internet, it may be worth looking up if your ISP provider doesn't provide that already for you out of the box:

dig -x `curl -s http://icanhazip.com`

Here in Belgium Telenet does that, which means for my home network I could just setup a CNAME record to that hostname.
For this to be able to send PGP/MIME emails, the webmail service would have to allow the client to uploaded a body which is not tampered with at all, and also to specify the mime type of the email. That way, you could upload a pre-built MIME structure to be used as the body, generated by the OpenPGP extension, which includes the encryted attachments.

This could work, but the web service would have to support it as well as the extension.

Then there is also the issue of how does the receiver read the message? The extension would need to be able to parse MIME, and allow access to the separate parts.
Thanks, we hope build strong community in the whole eco-system to fight trolls/bad-patent.
If it makes major providers start bothering with proper SSL configuration with a not-self-signed cert for their mail services maybe that would be a profit: things become slightly more secure for some people.

How does this compare to something like Puppetlabs Razor?
can you give a reference?
The way it does that is by making 'clones'. So for example, if you have a long program that you find a bug in then you take the node with the buggy code (usually a few lines, maybe 10's of lines) and you 'clone' that node to the spot where you have your bug report or list of tickets or whatever. You then describe the bug, the fix and modify the code (which will modify the original code as well), or you modify the original code leaving the clone as a 'living pointer' to the code to document the location where the bug was found. You add the unit test as another node right where the bug report lives.

The 'thin' model (where you import external files without actually having them present in your outline) is a variation on this theme, another way of doing it is to have the code present in the outline itself and then to export the code whenever the document gets saved.

Both methods have their pros and cons. The biggest con in my opinion is that leo use is not widespread enough that you can expect to collaborate with someone else like this. That means that if you post your project on github or if you share the code with a fellow coder that all that Leo mark-up is wasted. This also likely does not play nicely with version control but I haven't tried that particular scenario myself (I just dump the whole tree in git or subversion and I work on most of this stuff on my own anyway).

Good point! I always blindly assumed that removing whitespaces would lead to a decent size improvement, even after gzipping, so I ran a small test (gzip on linux, default parameters):

http://i.imgur.com/U1O4Xg5.png

The raw json contains the whitespaces, while they were removed in the minified json. So there is a 47% improvement for the uncompressed version, and a 21% improvement for the compressed version.

What would be interesting to see is how the second (compressed) number scales with the filesize (I don't know enough about compression algorithms to guess that).

EDIT: I really don't know how to format a table in plaintext...
Google Glass Enters the Operating Room
That is a very interesting thread, thanks. I think I was confusing dedicated tenancy with baremetal. Dedicated tenancy of course still runs on Xen.
Definitely. Although instead of sending network packets to the fuzz tester, the idea is to apply a testing module to the network stack functor that introduces a deterministic random number generator. This makes it much easier to write assertions about how the state machine should behave within the stack, to catch bugs much more easily.

Thanks a lot for the comment. I kind of notice that I overuse past tense a bit too, I'll try to go more with my guts next time. My general lesson: Oftentimes when I try to apply school grammar or logic, I tend to be a bit more off than when I apply the patterns I absorb through experience.

'Writings' is an interesting case. I believe mental lexicon is a lot harder for non-natives to grasp, simply because there are a lot more of them and English does not always treat them consistently. For example, I thought that a collection of written work is plural, while apparently you consider it a collection or an abstract object, and therefore used without an article and cannot in general be in the plural form.

However, this is what I found using Google 'define writing':

2. written work, especially with regard to its style or quality.
* books, stories, articles, or other written works.
plural noun: writings
"he was introduced to the writings of Gertrude Stein"

So, dear native speakers, which is more appropriate in my use in the GP comment? writings or writing? :-)
Looks good!

Minor gripe:

"Why did you make zzzz?

DynDNS was a very popular dynamic DNS provider which in the 90s [did something?]."
Agreed. Advisors would be better but perhaps they were bored at the "normal" names...
On iOS "enterprise provisioning" means less baggage. No UDIDs, which are deprecated in software BTW. To be clear this is a tiny patch that adds support for some 40%+ of dev shops and all enterprises. All we are talking about is this:

unless App.config.provisions_all_devices? || App.config.provisioned_devices.include?(device_id)
App.fail "Device ID `#{device_id}' not provisioned in profile `#{App.config.provisioning_profile}'"
end

Where the provisions all devices is my bit supported by a single line helper, it's not scary. If you have more than 100 devices beta testing your app you use enterprise provisioning PERIOD, it doesn't have anything to do with classic "enterprise" except you need a DUNs and to pay Apple an extra $100/year.

Almost every dev shop that is more than two guys I know uses this.
Awesome! This has potential. Strongly typed ADT support would be nice, and it needs partial download/module boundaries to scale realistically.

Imagine putting code AST in this DB, using reference-values for variable bindings and function bindings (rather than string-based resolution). Then editing the AST in a structural editor with nice code views. The Light Table people seem to be trying to do this now with Aurora. I want to do it too, but damn is it hard.

West Point has (had in 2004) a blind programmer that I think worked in the foreign language department. His story was that he was an olympic swimmer that lost his vision in an accident with a rowing machine.

I am not sure how he read the code, but I know the computer said the keys out loud as he typed.
I dunno, but you could always call the C libraries from Objective-C, and call the Objective-C from Swift.
As the author of the 2nd link there, I'd advise some caution, it's old and not complete, I will update it at some point soon when I have time to run through my whole process again.
The point being made was that informality needs not be specific to the family gathering scenario, and that it's not a core issue of work scenarios at multi-active cultures; I used an example you could relate to illustrate how it could it also be seen at work contexts in some circumstances. So I suppose you downvoted because you didn't get the point.

The Origin of Spacewar, by J. M. Graetz:

http://www.wheels.org/spacewar/creative/SpacewarOrigin.html
I like Swift and my overall answer is still yes that it is easier to learn than Objective C and that having to deal with types is worthwhile for the safety it brings and increased chance that it will do the right thing when it does run but it is still a barrier to a limited degree.

I remember initially struggling with the stuff in ML in the first year at university, I got it but I and many others had an initial struggle. I think that at least for beginners and maybe those coming from runtime duck typed languages Python, PHP, Ruby etc. it will be more of a barrier than you think.

For #1 in Objective C you inherit from NSObject (or a subclass thereof) for every class anyway so it is in all the examples and it isn't something that you need to do especially for a protocol.

For #2 yes of course you can have an array of a generic type but firstly you need to understand enough about the type system to create your array in that form and secondly what you get out will <AnyType> objects rather than <id>'s which get automatically cast to whatever you assign them to. But I do like the idiom for downcasting using as?:

if let movie = item as? Movie {
println("Movie: '\(movie.name)', dir. \(movie.director)")
} else if let song = item as? Song {
println("Song: '\(song.name)', by \(song.artist)")
}

This is a great effort. I help companies defend themselves from lawsuits involving nonsense patents regarding the stuff that I happen to know a bit about. One thing that might be done to help concentrate the effort where it has the most effect is to find out about the actual lawsuits filed by the trolls and then to prioritize those.

It's great to go after all patents filed by some troll, and that needs doing, but for the parties that are being sued by trolls specific action on specific patents would be far more beneficial.

Most of the patents litigated today were filed quite a while ago and if we don't concentrate on finding the prior art that might help a party sued under those particular patents it might well get lost. So concentrate on the patents that are actively litigated first, then concentrate on the patents that can still be easily squashed and then work from the oldest to the newest.

I realize that's a tall order but this is imo the best way to prioritize this kind of work. The main reason for the prioritization like this is that patents are filed in a system that does not forget, prior art is not filed in a central place and even stuff that happened less than two decades ago can be almost impossible to locate any proof of that will stand up in court. So older stuff should get priority.

Incidentally, Joao Controls is still on the warpath with their bogus live video patents.

Hi James, ff 29 hides the quest list button on the top right when you try to click on it so nothing happens.

The same on other pages with the menu on the left, clicking it does not work. Typo: 'all quest[s]' 'my quest[s]' 'All payments will be sent directly to the PayPal account that we will fu[r]ther inquire' (in fact that whole sentence doesn't parse)
You can just hide all the menus and buttons and put the editor full screen. That's pretty close to metro I think

Ok, you guys need to make some changes, and I would recommend:

- Allow monthly payments, instead of only weekly: most people receive money monthly so their economy math is based on monthly periods.

- The company giving the biggest amount of money is giving $1095... you should try to involve Mozilla and other big non-profits to donate, basically because giving monthly money to open-source (non-employees) devs is one of the boldest statements they can make in favor of open-source.

- Create spontaneous requests, for example if someone is giving 10 dollars to some folk the app could pop up and ask if they want to give her/him a one-time gift of $20, and ask again once the next month (just remember to also show a checkbox to disable those notifications). The people is full of greed based on impulsive behavior, why not let generosity also be impulsive?
Many of the eastern European countries have probably quite equivalent standards of treatment and facilities for lower price tag than in California. I know quite well some people from Estonia, Poland, Latvia and Czech republic and none have really complained about their childhood, healthcare etc.

Obviously the atmosphere must have been quite different during the communist regime in the 1980s but nowadays things are different on many levels. But if I had children, I wouldn't hesitate to take my family with me to those countries if there was an interesting opportunity on hand.

I've always associated Gittip with GitHub, and contributing small amounts to cool open-source projects. But from the article, it seems like its mission is much more ambitious than that.

You should probably start with Juju docs on setting up an environment with MAAS as a "provider"

https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/config-maas.html
I love (don't use, but love) editors like this -- that push at some boundaries and rather than having that push be some "side feature" or "addon" -- is the core part of the editor.

An older editor that I thought was amazing was Acme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_%28text_editor%29) -- the famous plan 9 editor. http://youtu.be/dP1xVpMPn8M is a Tour of Acme, some really cool features are built into it. Any text is a command.
:-) Of course it's not inventing anything, it's just providing a convenient way to commission those servers that can also be driven by other tools. If you bring a lot of server resource on line this is very handy. Juju, for example, can put things on MAAS servers, and one of the things it could put on there is a virtualised environment that could also be managed by MAAS and juju to deploy other workloads. MAAS knows some stuff about the hardware too, for example, how many network cards the machine has and on which networks, which means you can interrogate MAAS to find machines suitable for a given workload.
