Sadly, despite these positives, the social media handles of several companies are on an automation mode. People automate tweeting, schedule Facebook posts at regular intervals to ensure 24*7 availability and more importantly for search optimization. (Google search matters a lot, I know!)

Isn't it important for you to humanize your interactions? Whether it’s a product or service, it’s a service to humanity at the end of the day. Of course, not missing out on profitability from a business standpoint.

So when it looks and feels like you, when you are a trusted source and not like an automated blabber – then you are on the spot and valued.

Making 20 automated tweets/posts doesn't help but on the other hand, if you have 5 sensible interactions, you have made justice to your day on social media.
I developed 9 ports and maintained 13 ports of RAD's Telemetry middleware for the game industry over a period of 3 years. My biggest takeaway from that experience is that build management, testing and release management are the hard parts once you get beyond the first few platforms. The only platforms that posed even minor problems in the traditional coding sense were ones in their infant stages (e.g. WiiU, Xbox One and PS4 years before their release) where hardware, APIs and even compilers are full of holes, and you have to deal with SDK updates (including deprecated APIs) and devkit refreshes. Automate everything you can and grit your teeth for the rest of it.

Purely on the coding side of things, I would caution against extremism when fighting code duplication between platforms. There is much to be said for having a single C file per platform that is self contained, even if it entails a certain level of duplication. The alternative very easily leads to an increasingly bifurcated decision tree that tries to account for similarities and differences between platforms (autoconf syndrome).
About 25 years ago I saw somebody do a "chmod a-rwx ." as root, at root on an SunOs box. Recovering from that was almost entertaining ;-)

How long does the battery last on average for their typical usage?

I carry around an external battery in my pocket along with my phone. You can buy one for pretty much any phone. Whenever I'm low on battery, I just plug in the external and continue using it, even if I'm walking. It's really convenient.

I think I'd prefer the big screen size even if the battery dies after only a few hours.

I'm not sure if this is standard terminology but I like to refer to multiple operating systems as cross-platform and multiple CPU architectures sets as cross-architecture. It looks like the author is doing something similar.

After all the problems you encounter porting from Unix to Windows are different from what you hit porting across architectures. With cross-platform you're worrying over file IO functions or the lack of fork equivalent. With cross-architecture you must ensure the code is not abusing ints for storing pointers or assuming sizes of primitives.

That's kind of crazy. The thing that gets me with all these things is the energy density in your pocket. 3Ah is a lot of energy. When a LiPoly goes off, it goes off in style. Even the 2Ah one in my Moto G is scary.

And in this 3Ah behemoth, the battery life sucks!?!?
Are you kidding? Honesty is practically never appreciated.
Hmm.. good comment. Not how I understood the paper but I'm willing to accept that I could be wrong. I agree that we can't generalize from trends but I felt he went a bit further and questioned the validity of any theory that makes assumptions of the past that can't be proven regardless of how good it is at predicting the future or describing the present.

Darwin assumed that because he could find evidence that some animals had evolved from a recent common ancestor all animals evolve from some ancestor (roughly). Because I understood the paper as I did I thought it would be a good example. Darwin made assumptions about the past that he couldn't prove (in his time) and used that to explain the now and predict the future.

Today we have plenty of proof that he was correct but back then not so much. He made an educated guess based on observations and provided ways of proving him wrong. A good method in my view. To me it seemed like the author of this paper would have told Darwin to get a time machine to prove his theory or be silent instead of trying to disprove the theory.

Anyways, thanks for the comment. Seems there's more to this thing then I thought so I'll study it some more.

Am I being cynical if I think that system considered in the abstract is sufficiently rich to support almost any interpretation?

The real reason they closed the api is because of Bateflix.com
There is something here that I really don't understand.

Why would they want to shut it down?

With something like Twitter, I get it. In order to make money off their customers' use of Twitter's free service, they need to be in control of the customers' experience (so they can do things like show ads). So they pulled this intentional bait-and-switch where they screwed over the independent developers who had made Twitter successful in the first place, but they did it because they needed to in order to make their profits.

The Netflix API story is different. First of all, APIs were always an additional offering: Netflix was grown on the backs of their mail-order business and third party apps that could just as well have been done via partnerships instead of open APIs. So they're at least not screwing over the one who brought them to the dance.

But the APIs have been a source of good will from the developer community (probably all out of proportion to the number of actual tools built using them). And the APIs are not harming Netflix's income stream in any way. (They might, in a tiny way, be helping, but I accept that this effect is negligible.) So where is the motivation to retire them?

Does it really cost so much to maintain the APIs? After all, they need to maintain them for Instant Watcher, Fanhattan, Yidio, NextGuide, Flixster, Can I Stream It?, FeedFliks, and Instant Watch Browser for Netflix. So it's not like they'll save the cost of keeping the APIs running. And I don't see how this can be about the cost of managing communications with the public -- if, instead of announcing that the APIs were now closing down, Netflix had announced that the primary support channel was now a public forum where users could help each other I doubt anyone would have batted an eyelash.

So help me out here: what is the motivation?

I got hit with this by a college roommate who joined Primerica. I didn't know anything about investing during college so I let him open a Roth IRA for me and put in $100/month from my part-time job. I fell for everything from him and his boss. Looking back, I definitely feel like a moron.

The fund he had me in was terrible. An expense ratio of something like 1.5%, a maxed-out 12b1 fee and a front-load sales charge of 5.25%. At least it wasn't an annuity.

Once I graduated and got my first full-time job, I started reading over the 401k material and doing my own research which lead me to the Boglehead's site. I slowly began the realize the fraud my friend had pulled over me.

When I presented him with the evidence, he literally lied to my face. That or he had so completely swallowed Primerica's literature that he believed himself. He tried to tell me that their fund had outperformed the market (it had not) and had stayed stable through the 2008 crash (it had not, it lost far more than the market).

He tried to convince me that the fees were actually quite low compared to the average (obviously not) and that Vanguard was in fact more expensive.

I ordered him to transfer the entire account over to Vanguard and we haven't spoken since.

(Another unspoken advantage of Vanguard or Schwab: if they do something I don't like, I can safely pull my business without risking a personal relationship)

I'm happy. The happiest I've ever been, in fact. I just graduated after a decade of fucking around and I have a job that I enjoy and that pays me fairly well. Tomorrow, I'm going to buy myself a motorcycle. I like my friends. Life is good.

I've never been able to look in a mirror and honestly answer that question. Of all of the things I've ever felt insecure about, "why are you making the choices you are" tops the list. The biggest mental block I've ever experienced is trying to answer that question, and even as I write honestly about my struggles to do so I'm still not able to face it.

The only explanation I've ever come up with is that I'm terrified of where that question might lead me. I'm afraid of losing the happiness I have, of somehow breaking the spell and being expelled from Mt Achievement to wallow in the shadows with the rest of the benighted. I'm worried that subjecting my actions and beliefs to rigorous analysis might somehow invalidate them, and with them the foundation of my happiness.

It's a strange sort of cognitive dissonance, to at once kneel at the altar of skepticism and rationality, and also to shield my most cherished beliefs from same. To be aware of that dissonance, and yet be unwilling or unable to fix it, is stranger still.
My impression (based on the article alone) was that the author of the ios version is pretty much benefiting from the sales exclusively. Perhaps I missed something or there are sources that provide more information on the matter, but Townsend saying 'of course you can adapt it for the iPhone' almost sounds like he left money on the table.

If he isn't getting a share of the sales and didn't explicitly provide a license to release the ios app under different terms, then I feel it should be open source (at least the parts derived from the original).
I thought this was a really good talk (and associated thread with it) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4357037 on entrepreneurial depression and happiness.
That was a really fun read. I had no idea that bash supported loading plugins out of shared libraries with the "enable" command.
I was basing that assumption on this part:

By [Townsend's] estimate, making one game a year that performs like A Dark Room would make it possible for him to quit his day job, but he’s unsure whether this whole experience was just a fluke.

It's worded in a way that makes it ambiguous whether he means that as a pure hypothetical, or something like "I made about a year's worth of income from A Dark Room, and if that were repeatable I could quit my day job".
Now I have another alternative to "It's not you, it's me"
Everybody says that flappy birds was making $50k/day, but I highly doubt that the game would have been pulled from the appstore if it really had been making even 1/10th that much money a day.
As one of the comments points out, these are the so-called "taxicab numbers", based on a story about Hardy trying to make small talk with Ramanujan. Hardy's taxicab's number was 1729, which he found boring. Ramanujan pointed out it was the first number which was the sum of two different cubes in two different ways.

There are six known taxicab numbers; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_number for a list and their decompositions. The solutions at http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2815/find-taxicab-nu... are much more knowledgeable about math than the ones at StackOverflow, as one might expect.

Note that in your/saltcookie's proposed answer there is mistranslation of the problem. The posed question says "a, b, c, d lie between [0, 10^5]" but does not restrict their cubes, while you have a test for "if(a3 > MAX)" and "if(a3 + b3 > MAX)".

Even if those checks are removed, there is still a likely overflow error because most systems use 32 bit integers for 'int'. a * a * a as an int may be a number <= 10000000, including a negative number.

That is, your output should include 48988659276962496 = 38787^3 + 365757^3 as an answer because 38787 < 365757 < 10000000 so fits the input constraints; note that 48988659276962496 cannot be represented as a 32 bit integer.
A bayesian approach. If you know what you real aspirations are act according to it, if you haven't the fanciest idea then use the first 25% as a sample and from that sample estimate the mean and the variance, make a chi-square test to see if the population is normal, now you can compute and estimate for the probability of finding a candidate in the rest of the sample according to your valuation. The length of this interval is related to the risk of your election. If you are not very picky you have a long interval and a high probability to succeed, if you put high stakes then you can get the best girl for you, but you are risking to live alone or to miss good opportunities.

Glass isn't uniquely invasive. I've yet to hear about someone mugging a guy wearing a gopro.
Yup. I think the real problem here is the overly tight coupling of achievement and self-esteem. You have to separate the two, because otherwise you're stuck on a treadmill with no escape.

I think Elizabeth Gilbert put together an accessible TED talk about this, and it's also in parallel with Albert Ellis's idea of Conditional-Self-Esteem vs Unconditional-Self-Acceptance. All you can hold yourself to is a commitment to showing up and doing the work. The results are almost irrelevant.
I must apologize because I didn't read the post, but I know that the reasoning is based in permutations and here is the flaw in the argument. Anyone of us could rapidly recognize that a girl is wonderful and without second thoughts promise her eternal love, this kind of knowledge is not encoded in the permutation of numbers. Bayesian reasoning give you this advice: use your knowledge girls are not numbers.

Sure. Based on the broad definitions of that posting, the Kalman filter (radar systems), Marzullo's algorithm (internet time keeping), and CRC-32 (every ethernet packet) are also crucially important to the modern world.

There are so many crucially important algorithms that any listing of the top 10 will leave out hundreds if not thousands of equally crucial algorithms.
No, root can still run chmod, because its superuser privileges override the new restrictive directory perms. That was my point.

Maybe the original problem was actually "chmod a-rwx /bin/chmod" ... That would mean even the superuser couldn't execute /bin/chmod anymore, so you'd have to do something more creative to reset the executable bit on /bin/chmod. Like compile a C program that calls the chmod system call, or:

mv /bin/chmod /bin/chmod.orig
cp -p /bin/ls /bin/chmod
cp /bin/chmod.orig /bin/chmod

You are mixing up B-tree and reverse index. B-tree is significant when you have slow media like disk. Most index serving currently happens from memory and B-tree is not used there.
Well said. I assume this is true for a LOT of people.
My last comment. Just suppose that you know there is one or more girls that are wonderful for you but you also know that there are a lot that are no way for you. In my case I should without second thoughts get the first wonderful girl. I am risk averse and I don't want to miss this one in a life opportunity. This reasoning takes into account the kind of people you are.

Does the contract actually say they guarantee 25/5 Mbps? I strongly doubt that.

Bursty traffic and steady traffic cost different, so I think, in order to be honest, ISP should sell two differently priced 25/5 Mbps connection, one priced same as now, and one much more expensive. I predict people will not move to the more expensive pricing. So while there is some deception going on, I doubt people actually want to pay for steady traffic.
