The wiki also lists it being shut off without specifying the reasons. "The fire department says that the bulb is at least 113 years old and has been turned off only a handful of times."

I really doubt there's anywhere in the US where power has run uninterrupted for 100+ years. Even the use of backup generators is fairly modern and those fail or run out of fuel as well.

Neat little thing, but I think back then they hand-wound the filament using much stronger and thicker (and with more resistance) wire than what we use today. Or used, considering that style of lightbulb is more or less dead. Dunno, I'm not impressed by this the same way I am by the pitch experiment or the ever-ringing bell.

If you're building something today, and get an avoton board, you'll have 10+sata ports on the board. I don't know what kind of midi-tower only support 4x 3.5" drives -- maybe you're thinking hot-swap, front-accessible?

If you get a full tower, you should be able to fit a couple of (or equivalent): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817198...

(3.5" & 5.25" Black Tray-less 5 x 3.5" HDD in 3 x 5.25" Bay SATA Cage) in front -- if yo feel you need front-accessible drives.

I'd say you normally want less boxes to take care of (even if failure will be more catastrophic) on such a small scale. Depends on what you need of course.

I agree everything on one box makes sense very early on. I'd add that you do want to put some time into designing your architecture so that it's easier to decouple, so you can iterate and separate services when you have a moment to do so, or you can scale when you absolutely have to.

Spending a few hours early on thinking about the following, will save you days of headache.

You can have a process that is not your web app process, do "jobs."

The article built the point that worshiping individual genius was counterproductive for the majority (non-genius) practitioners of math and science. The last sentence was would not pass as a dictionary entry on "genius" for sure, but that was not the point either. It was a rethorical device.

I'm thinking of how to apply this to Scrabble performance. This explains why it's so difficult to make words with Z, because you look for words that start with Z, and that corpus is very poor. In other words, think of words like vuvuzela, not zeal.
That's the popular theory, but there is some evidence that the issue is more complicated than that. E.g. diets are incredibly ineffective at losing weight. People artificially forced to gain weight by eating a lot quickly return to their previous weight after they stop. And identical twins maintain very similar weights even when they are raised in separate environments. And lab animals have actually gotten fatter over time for unknown reasons.

> You have to wonder if its even possible for the same tools that you use to A/B test small changes (i.e. in UI, menus, branding language) can also be applied for these more broad systemic changes.

No need to wonder; the answer is yes. For example, Optimizely[0] lets you test different pages (redirect tests) against one another, so instead of just testing button locations you can test different offers, pricing options, branding, and other "systemic changes." You can also run multi-page tests, in which the variation being tested can span across many pages.

There are not many modern app-level protocols and much fewer messaging protocols that don't allow for any end-to-end message metadata; at a minimum declaring what the payload content of a message is, when the message was generated, and an end-to-end ID. Content-type could be a mere byte the client sends to the app and where 0x01 spells "JSON". CONNECT shows how you can have a bitfield that can control the presence of headers. You can control the presence of 4 subsequent optional headers with 4 shape options in one byte. That's as simple as what happens in CONNECT and just as compact.

There are also not many modern app-level protocols that constrain their opcode-set to 4 bits quasi forever, so extensibility also means to have runway for future extension.

Multiscreen usage is exceedingly rare, except among hn readers. Among that crowd having lots of tabs open is the norm. So, the subsegment of multiscreen users who don't use a lot of tabs is probably vanishingly small. Myself I'm a windows user a majority of the time and I strongly prefer chrome's behavior.
Here is a trivial proof of the former: take an elite biped marathon runner on foot vs an older marginally in shape biped like myself on a bicycle, and on my bicycle I can beat the elite runner quite easily.

Another way to model it is I can quite easily maintain 10 MPH without much if any sweating on a bike trail, but on a calm hike with the kids on the same trail I struggle to achieve 3 MPH average.

The research and development was clearly about the design and actuation of the legs...

OK, but then is it really fair for them to publicize how fast it can run? I mean, I guess if the challenge is just to be able to move the legs fast enough, then maybe it is. But then why not publicize the number of steps it can take per unit of time instead of its speed? Speed is kind of misleading anyway unless you know how big it is.

While there are significant differences between 2 and 3, mostly they aren't that big of a deal in terms of learning the language. There's no reason you can't learn both simultaneously, and its not hard to learn one from knowing the other, so its probably less important than you might think which you choose to learn first.

If you are going to do new greenfield development with no particular expectation of being tied to 2, 3 is probably better, But there's still some things you might wish to leverage that might make knowing 2, and how it differs from 3, useful.

my current setup on DO, I would like some inputs.

website hosted on 1 droplet. additional 1 droplet per every customer is deployed through Stripe and DO api.

DO let's you save a snapshot and load it to the droplet. I have a snapshot that is basically a copy of my 'software'. It's a LAMP stack with init script to load the webapp from git repo.

Customer logs in at username.mywebapp.com

The beauty of this is that I never have to worry about things breaking or becoming a bottle neck. if one customer outgrows themselves, they won't affect other resources. It has linear scalability, new customers, add a new droplet. I don't need to worry about writing crazy deployment scripts although I use paramiko to ssh in to each server when I need to get dirty.

The main website is mostly static content. I could host it even on Amazon S3 but currently using cloudflare.

Updating the product code requires me to restart the droplet instance. However, I test things out on another staging droplet. Once things work on there, I use the DO api to iterate through all the customer droplets and do a restart.

Apple does user agent sniffing? Is Safari becoming the next IE?
Funny that – I often imagine that a nicely productive compromise would be a scheme like the SCDP office on “Mad Men“: mostly private offices, but with a pseudo-open “Creative Lounge“ that facilitates collaboration but retains basic human stuff like doors, for some sense of sonic isolation.

That particular plan is far from perfect – they have often used the lack of isolation (e.g. people peeping on neighbors through ceiling-level windows) as a plot device – but I still like the actual looks of it, based on actual experience with the open-plan-induced drudgery discussed in the article.
nice guide, maybe a setup including redis/memcache would be useful too.

And above all else, make those items "configurable" so you can easily swap them when needed. Rails' use of `database.yml` which can be easily modified by a Chef recipe, etc. is a good example of getting configuration right early.

Some hotels have 1-hour free internet per day, you just need to fake your MAC address. They do not even have a cookie, which is probably not an issue, since it can be cleared.
This already said below, but in clearer terms:

Will load in Safari.
What libraries are you using? Check their status. Some libraries are not ported to 3.X and many that have been ported are probably not as well tested as their 2.x versions.

If you plan to just use pure Python (standard library), then give 3 a try.
I agree totally. This is not premature optimization, this is planning for the future. Another thing is to script your different server types from day 1. If you cant take the time to learn how to use puppet or chef, then just script it with bash. You will thank yourself later.

The worst thing is to stand in the 11th hour when your app is a raging success and having to plan for infrastructure upgrades and potential downtime right at the moment when you would be hurt the most by downtime and upgrade related problems.

Full stack developer with an eye toward security. I was a security analyst in my last life. 3 Years experience in security. 1 Year as a full stack developer. I would love to work on a full-scale Dart/AngularDart application.
Location: London.
Happy to consider relocation - passable German skills. Full time

Stack: Python, C#, JavaScript, xSQL, C++, Java, Ruby

Resume: Available on request*

Contact: offbynone@gmail.com

Overview: Mid level, full stack tech generalist seeks challenges.
Short - Physics background, highly varied software experience, advocate for good practices

Long - Spliced first computer together at 14 from skip parts. Gained programming experience at a security and currency printing firm, high energy physics laboratories, and a software consultancy. During this period my code has progressed from horrific to passable, now a keen advocate of testing and other beloved practices. My time is currently split into development and tech lead/architecture work, mentoring, and client relations.

Small selection of projects I have completed that I am proud of:
Wireless mesh network to provide internet access during my school years - made of pringle cans and abandoned PII PCs
Image analysis and QA tool for a banknote production - saw need and pushed an initiative. Taught self python/programming principles while creating requirements and functionality.
Widely used SSL distribution site - created full stack web application allowing institutions to request and generate new certificates from the CA of a small TLD. Written in C#, with unit testing, front end testing via Selenium and continuous integration. Involved significant UX and design work.
Real time national medical study model - developed mathematical data sandbox with interactive and exploratory visual front end to allow the leaders of a national cohort study to adjust parameters on current models for instant feedback on decision paths. Created with a python back-end and a JavaScript application at front. Dealt with an extremely large number of stakeholders bearing different interests.

While I am not a deep expert in any one methodology of technology, my large range of dabbling has meant that I have been able to quickly acquire necessary knowledge whenever needed. Ideally, my new destination will let me continue to embrace my passion for learning and dispense plenty of opportunities for hands-on growth.

No commentary or anything
You definitely want 2.7. The best learning material is in 2.7 (LPTHW), all libraries support 2.x but not 3.x, no PyPy that's not in beta, performance on 3.x is less than 2.7 and all online hosts are on 2.7 or earlier (Azure, Google App Engine, etc). Most of the resources available online for help are 2.x.

Not to mention the unicode implementation is broken. I was just talking to a Russian user (someone you'd assume would want unicode by default), and Python3 not operating on bytes by default is a mess. He can't move to Python3 due to how unicode is implemented.

print sys.getdefaultencoding() # ascii

print locale.getpreferredencoding() # cp1251

print sys.stdout.encoding # cp866

print sys.getfilesystemencoding() # mbcs

#~ print u"кодировочка!"

#~ print u"кодировочка!".encode('cp866')

#~ print unicode(u"кодировочка!", 'cp1251')

#~ os.rename ('b', u'б')

In most things in life, you'd always want the 'latest version', it would be a no-brainer. I wouldn't even bet on the transition to Python3 succeeding until it has- it's been 6 1/2 years already.

Use 2.7 and then move to 3.x when and if it ever makes sense. It won't be hard at all to switch as a user, that's not the problem.
agree. Its amazing that in this day and age its so expensive for internet in some places.
3.x is a much better language to learn with (the difference between strings and bytes is really important, and somewhat obscured in 2.x). If you need some 2.x-only library then use 2.x, but otherwise go with 3.x. I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the angry blog posts we've had lately.
Here is an alternate interpretation:

the model of plan9 lends itself to a radically different way to interact with pretty much everything. For a plan9-esque web browser, each site - nay, each element of a page - could be virtual files in an fs graph, and as you access pages and content you pull down the local graph into regional cache, and other 9P enabled systems see in your visible overlay that cache set.

You end up with a distributed web without needing low level distributed meshnets replacing old IP tech, because 9P on top does all the work.

Or word processing, the working draft is its own virtual file system with some organization, and collaborative editing is just working on the same 9P Mount, and each hostname can identify the editor.

That might be what someone means by "wheres my web browser?" because plan9 is meant to be an experiment - if the successor to the http / html web comes from anywhere, the best replacement (but probably not the most popular) will come out of radical new ideas like what plan9 regularly tries.
No, it's not. De-maximizing a window can be done in O(1) operations by other methods (click the widget at the top right of the window, or alt-space to get the keyboard menu) whereas if you have a bunch of tabs open, navigating to an arbitrary one with ctrl-tab takes O(N) operations, so clicking on a tab should take precedence.

curious who do you use as a host for 32 cores with ton of ram? I also favor this vertical scaling over splitting over multiple servers and replicating database with a load balancer sitting on top. Best to deal with one point of failure, if you need network concurrency up the ram and bandwidth. RAM should be easily upgradeable up to a descent double digit gig figure. For disk space and backup.

Not so much you can have vary light weight power plants if you sacrifice distance traveled. Going X MPH over 100 feet is less interesting but would not change any of the hard parts.

More importantly an ostrich can do 45 MPH which is far faster than this.
