I'd love to see an example of Google censoring for "American puritanism."
My point is that you may not have to wait for Rust to be completed for a suitable server language. Do some back of the envelope calcs and quantify your needs in a concrete way.
Fair enough, and you pulled off playing the part well enough that I believed you might be sincere. :-) Sadly, part of the reason I thought you might be sincere is because those are the two most commonly used reasons for capital punishment. One can fancy it up with language so that it sounds noble and civilized ("victims' families can have closure"), but it boils down to "we're civilized and humane until it costs money" and "the victims' families want to see the motherfucker fry". (I only raise the last point as a counter-argument to those that have no more idea what the victims' families want than I do.)
Clear ice is nice, but you don't need to pay $8 a cube to make clear ice.
Looks like you just have to use boiled water to make clean ice: http://www.instructables.com/id/make-crystal-clear-ice!/

It's surprising in this day of age no easily obtainable digital data of US demographics is available.

Yeah, it would be really awesome to just click a few times to see make up of a politician's district.

Hope the project does well.
Can you explain what you mean with that? Surely an upscaled 16px image is more comparable to a crisp 16px image than a crisp 32px image is to a crisp 16px image, unless you want to argue that the 16px images are hand-crafted for crispness over form.
That is an unfortunate name. This has implications much greater than a few privileged first-worlders sharing some movies but you wouldn't guess it from the name.

> Sure, building an IR from scratch is fun. But making it truly cross-platform and ready for many usages is really hard.

It's not that hard, as long it remains as close as possible to the source language (ie. GLSL). Iow, as the OP is advocating for, an AST of the shaders. This removes the cost of parsing the source code (but requires on the other hand to validate the AST, so this isn't exactly a complete gain, but definitely an progress compilation wise). However, I suppose that what motivated the choice of using GLSL source directly is the simplicity of the approach: no need to build the GLSL scripts separately. When working with interactive tools, it's a non negligible comfort, imho. Another interesting aspect is the ability to build the scripts dynamically, like people do with SQL. I wonder if this approach is used by professional game studios.
It's the same for me. Bootstrap is so easy to build upon that it's much easier to just code it up than bang my head against another tool. I hardly need to write any CSS besides the minor customization of colors/fonts.

Maybe it's useful for people selling templates for a living, but they will most likely hit the limits of the tool pretty quickly (if they want to up their game).

I'm curious. What kind of users currently use this? Are they devs, marketing people or someone else?
I think I'll try to stick with trying to come up with a SaaS product :P

You can always save the fact that a transaction was started, read the account's state (including the most recent transactions as an ordered list), calculate the validity of the item, and update the success/failure accordingly.

It is not the transaction itself that is hard, it is the network partition. E.g. what happens if two network partition approve transactions, that wouldn't have been accepted if there were no partitions.
DKMS might help if you have access to the source.

> $ traceroute -M16 64.111.103.1 # Note: Hides first 15 hops

HARD MODE: Is is actually 'hiding' those hops, or does it not even look for them?

Using Apple's `traceroute.c`[1]:

case 'M': /* FreeBSD compat. */
first_ttl = str2val(optarg, "first ttl", 1, 255);
break;

Looks like it's just bumping up the value of the first TTL.

Note: For those not in the know, traceroute works by adjusting the TTL (time-to-live) value on the packet it sends out. The TTL is basically the max number of hops that the packet can take. Each 'hop' decrements the TTL value, until it reaches the destination or TTL == 0. If the TTL == 0 before it gets to the destination, then the packet it sent back as rejected.

Is startup validation bullshit
I saw a thing on TV once where some religious historian lady was pointing out how the robe enclosing god as he reaches out to adam resembles the human brain in cross section. She speculated that Michelangelo may have been leaving a clue as to what he really thought of his employers, based on his attendance at banned human dissections around that time.

(It was a serious programme about art history BTW, not some conspiracy nonsense. Wish I could remember the name.)
Are dyads only done by putting the other operand in the string of J code? Or is there a nice way to apply a dyad to two Ruby arrays? (I wasn't sure from the Readme if this is already there or your second point in "future directions," and I'm pretty new to Ruby)

So instead they should go to the their local doctor, pay their $15 co-pay and then take their antibiotics.

Come on, we all know that if you have insurance and see your doctor with the sniffles, you can leave with a antibiotic prescription if you want.

I'm not defending the illegal online drug markets, but the problem of resistant germs is a much bigger problem and it has nothing to do with Amazon resellers.
There are uncovered breasts! Penises! Can't find any vulvas unfortunately. It's funny to think that they would have to censor this on American television because of the religious right.

I got some topical clindamycin over-the-counter when I was in Thailand, and it worked better than any other acne drug I had tried. I couldn't find it in any pharmacies after returning to the US, however. I emailed the FDA about it, and they responded:

Clindamycin is an antibiotic, whereas benzoyl peroxide is not. Necessary characteristics for OTC drugs include an acceptable safety margin, low misuse and abuse potential, and adequate labeling. In addition, consumers must be able to self-diagnose, self-select the medication [self-selection is the decision a consumer makes to use or not to use a drug product based on reading the information on the drug product label and applying knowledge of his or her personal medical history], self-treat and self-manage the condition for which the OTC drug is intended, and additionally, a health care practitioner is not needed for the safe and effective use of the product. An OTC drug is considered to be safe and effective for use by the general public without a prescriber's authorization. At this point in time, FDA believes that clindamycin does not qualify as an OTC drug.

I'm slightly disappointed at this decision.
A lot of Late 80's and 90's CAD was done on SPARC's. In fact you can still find some shops running old Sun CAD machines since its the only CAD software the Production Manager knows or some strange reason like that.

Fair point. In calling out ice specifically, I just assumed he was only talking about that one.
I wrote my own one, and am blogging with it. And no, it's not “focusing on the wrong thing” – it's focusing on the totally right thing, which is doing exactly what I need.

And it's 822 LOC, so it's easy to write, easy to handle. No big issues, no PHP security hole, no Wordpress monsters to administrate. Another 508 LOC give users comments with Markdown using Djangoproject.

And, last but not least: I prefer writing my blog articles partly automated using vim. YMMV.

The whole building is like that - the walls and ceilings of the Vatican museum are one of the finest art collections on the planet, let alone the things that are hanging on the walls.

It's worth an experience - the potential of something like the Oculus to mass-produce the experience of being there is fantastic.
Well, yeah; obviously the dude getting rich on this isn't spending that much on ice. I'd guess he gets a pretty good employee discount on it.
It seems counterproductive to ask every possible data aggregator (of which Google is just one) to allow data to be taken out and hidden from view.

If John Doe has something so embarrassing in their past that would warrant this, it can be accomplished by him changing his name.

> What does it matter if they're legal or not in any other country?

From a legal point of view? None. From a moral? Not so simple. A lot of drugs are prescription only in the US for really no reason whatsoever.

Two examples are Nystatin and Mebendazole.

I even emailed the FDA about Nystatin and they said that to become OTC it would need a sponsor, which is a stupid reason to leave them prescription only.
Can't you get the same thing out of a Kold-Draft machine? Isn't that what high-end bars already do? What reputable high-end cocktail bar --- Pegu, Booker & Dax, PDT, Aviary, &c --- uses this stuff?

That's largely a thing of the past. In fact, there are now laws where even meals and jimmy johns in the conference room are reported.
I haven't been in the access game for a long time, but I honestly don't know how you could sell to even smart "prosumers" these days.

I would love to get a ~50mbps line to my home, from a reliable local ISP with clue. I'd pay around $150/mo for such service, and I'm not one of those guys that runs stuff maxed out 24x7.

There just are no options where I live for that amount of bandwidth other than Comcast. So instead I have my primary comcast line ($120/mo) which is 150/20, and a backup DSL line from USWest/Qwest/Centurylink/whatever they are calling themselves today. I believe that one is 20/2, but it sucks so bad (seriously no 1500 MTU still? sigh.) I rarely use it even for failover anymore. LTE is faster.
There are articles online about the useful effect of certain plants on the atmosphere of offices.

That's for regular punters. Now we need a bit of price discrimination to get the high value customers. No mere "place a bamboo plant in the corner". You need to specify the obscure region of China that the original plant comes from (leave out the fact that you took a million cutting from that plant in an industrial unit somewhere) and describe the quality of the oxygen and other harmonious gases produced by these plants.

Okay, so there will be conflicts, which brings us back to the original question.

>I would consider that "proper" replication in the sense of a replicated state machine.

When I think about proper replication, I'm thinking about master-master replication which doesn't fail if the connection between peers is sometimes down, even for very long periods (e.g. what CouchDB can handle). I'm of course not saying that other kinds of replications are somehow inherently bad, but multi-master replication without active connections is what I'm after and what a lot of modern applications can benefit from.

Once you have two databases that are not connected all the time you need to handle conflicts. You can move the conflict handling totally to the client side, but the conflict handling must be implemented somewhere. I think that's such a common use-case that the database should provide basic interfaces and implementation for it. If nothing else, it reduces boilerplate code by large amounts. Of course no database can handle conflict handling fully, as some of it always depends on the business domain.
Excellent leadership from sinak!

I agree that it's a bigger problem, but I believe this will make it significantly worse.

Right now, you have to go to a doctor and get a prescription - if you don't have a bacterial infection, or aren't likely to get one (e.g., post-oral-surgery stuff) they won't prescribe you the antibiotics.

If it's possible to buy it on amazon, people will end up 'abusing' them to try and treat non-bacterial infections.
That's kinda useless, isn't it. First, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of "M. Vanger" in any bigger city.

Second, M. Vanger has the right to request that information above hidden as well, so in the end the information would look like:

"M. Vanger, of Hedestad, Sweden, requested that 1 page containing a note of his page removal requests be removed."

This is one blog that always comes up with a variety of stories on different topics, and makes them interesting. Some are serious, some are ridiculous (like this article), but all of them always interesting.
Because people aren't using the fucking magstripes anymore, thank god (at least if you're outside the US, where chip+pin is basically not existing!).

Everyone sane is using the smartcard interface because usually the chips cannot be cloned whereas a magstripe writer sets you back $150 and about 10 cents for a blank card. Just for the lulz: many payment terminals allow you for reading the WHOLE RAW STRIPE DATA by a command... so you hack the PoS software to issue a CardSwipe command before issuing the payment command. Unsuspecting store clerk will follow the instructions on the terminal: 1) swipe the card, 2) see the terminal saying again "Please swipe card", 3) think the first swipe failed 4) swipe again and do the normal payment. This is trivially done with any ZVT or OPI-based payment terminal. And it fucking works. (If anyone is interested, drop me an email. I develop PoS software and can send you a demo video)

The smartcard interface is the thing where the problems lie: PC/SC is a quite easy API, but most of the software will be written in C and suffer from the usual bugs: boundary checks done wrong, overflows, missing sanity checks... this uber-long PCB is essentially not needed at all. You could entirely implement everything on e.g. a BasicCard ($10 apiece for the high-memory+RFID card) or any other programmable smart card.

Edit: I've been asked by email by some people for the demo video. It'll be ready by Tuesday, I'll also submit it to HackerNews.

Yep, here's the amplifier:

http://spacecollege.org/isee3/isee-3-reboot-amplifier-instal...

It is an AR 700S1G4 with rated minimum output power of 700W, and will be used in S-band. Here's the datasheet:

http://www.arww-rfmicro.com/post/700S1G4.pdf

At these frequencies, the Arecibo dish has a gain of around 72dBi, putting the EIRP at about 7 gigawatts.

For scale, a typical wifi router has an EIRP of around 50 milliwatts, so this is about 140 billion times more powerful.

Isn't DX restricted to Windows, meaning its lowest common denominator implementation is nothing at all?
