It is always present. From the moment you see an overview of possible routes, in the route overview and in the TBT nav.

If you're not seeing traffic all the time, it either means:

- there's no congestion at all in the route that you picked

- you have a different version of maps than the latest one in the play store

- you didn't select driving directions, but either bus, walking, biking or something else.

- traffic for your location/city is simply not supported.

As a 10 year old boy, I can assure you saying 'bullshit' is a good way to get the shit smacked out of me.

I graduated from college in 1999 with a BA in Communication but I had been making web pages with static HTML for four years and had done some small freelance sites for companies in my home town during my summer breaks. I found my first few jobs very quickly, trained myself in some new skills, and was offered a promotion into the "engineering" (aka "real programming") department very early on. It is definitely possible!

At the time, I made a "portfolio" with color printouts of the web sites I had designed and built, and attached it to my resume. I believe that was the strongest element in getting hired: I had already shown them that I could do the job. Maybe your github account is the 2014 equivalent of my portfolio. It depends what you have on there, and who's reading it. I would also consider providing them with compiled, working applications, because the gatekeeper might be an HR person who doesn't know how to evaluate source code.

Indeed, never understood that. I always loved so many different things...
'wrong conclusion'
While I somewhat agree with you, it's not as though these problems didn't already exist with IMAP. I think a better way of looking at it is this is the first step in removing the password from 3rd party access. Maybe at some point in the future they'll add more fine-grained access, but for now removing the credentials from the process seems like a good first step.

Not sure why they really need an API though. Seems to me like it would have been a better solution to stick to the IMAP protocol and allow an alternative method of authorization. For example an application would request access to your email, then they'd get an access token and use that to authenticate with IMAP. They could then try to delete an email with the IMAP protocol and if they hadn't requested that scope they're receive an error.

HTTPifying everything seems to be a trend, not sure what the real purpose is - if anything it's just making things less open.

Until you have a technology which is neither over the air transmission nor cable TV and there is no logical way to classify it as one or the other because the original distinction had no intelligible justification.
Too many edge cases, what if you're just there to pay a parking fine?

I think good old device encryption is the way to go. Only a warrant can make you provide the password for them to access your phone, and even then you could withhold it for whatever reason (though not without consequence).

Scalia's textualism is more nuanced. When we say something like "what the lawmakers aimed to achieve", there is an implicit assumption that all lawmakers agreed with the intent of the legislation. But what they vote on is the text of the legislation, not the intent.

So while there might be a committee of 14 congressmen that intend a law to act a certain way, there is a larger group that then proceeds to debate and enact the law, that may not share that intent, but may share the intent as codified in the law, which may be narrower or broader than the intent of the people who wrote the legislation itself.

"Conservative" generally means "skeptical of change". So it depends on how you look at it. I'd call myself conservative, and I want to conserve my 4th Amendment rights as I move from carrying papers to carrying digital data.

So you can say "the world has changed and now we have to protect cell phones" to say it's a progressive position, or "people still carry information and the government still can't search it without a warrant" to say it's a conservative one.

What I meant was just how having a less direct control over memory (like you do with c/c++) affects (edit: in a practical way) the efficiency of cache usage. Having less control means being unable to pack things together as much as one would want, but I'm sure sophisticated GC algorithms (relocating/compacting/generational/incremental) directly or indirectly deal with that somehow. As I said, I'm inexperienced with GC and my understanding of them is probably a bit naive.

I didn't see today's API announcement, but I'd be surprised if they wanted to encourage that. Similar to how Twitter doesn't want you to write full-fledged Twitter clients.

If we write full-fledged Gmail clients, won't they miss out on the ad revenue? Maybe not; maybe they're just glad to tie us to their service and data-mine our emails even if we're not using Google's web client.

Still, I'd be scared of basing a lot of work around this API, since they have a history of deprecating and discontinuing things in the past...
MacDown: Open-source Markdown editor for OS X
I don't know about the author's state of mind, but generally speaking, this is not just a matter of preference. For those of us who grew up reading Nastaliq, other type faces such as naksh are fairly difficult to read 'fluently.' Imagine if all books, newspapers websites were hand written by someone with poor handwriting. It would actually slow down your reading speed. Reading is such a natural thing we do on a daily basis that we notice even small things which cause us to slow down.

btw, I use 'bad handwriting' simply as a way to explain the effect of different writing style on reading, naksh is not good or bad -- it is just different from what Urdu readers are used to.

Also, nastaliq isn't just different because its letters are formed differently (there being a one-to-one correspondence between different typefaces). Nastaliq letters are laid out in a context sensitive manner where a letter can take on a fairly large number of shapes, depending on where in the word it is (and which letter it is next to). My earlier post links to a paper which describes how Nataliq rendering requires context sensitive shapes. Basically randomly capitalize letters in everything you read online. Eventually you will get used to it, but that doesn't mean it won't be annoying for a long time.

Ah, yes, the amazon page went live this morning. That makes sense. You may have wanted to curate, or to pull out some specific talking points for your reviewers. I think good good reviews are better than bad good reviews. But I understand the challenge.

At 266 pages, I think you $16.95 book price is perfect. You might have even been able to push it up to $18.95 because of your brand. But being conservative, I think $6 a copy profit is good.

I would have priced the Ebook at $5.95, and I would've signed up for the free matchbook service, so when you buy the book you get the ebook for free. I'd drop the DRM too.

But these reviews are just stinkers:

"I was taught to question everything when I was in school and have practiced that ever since. Everything Is Bulls* is a fine example of that. Love it!"
&
"Love it! Rohin and the guys really put together a fantastic book. They did a great job using stories to explain the concepts. Very engaging - I highly recommend!"

Because, you don't actually use 'stories' to explain concepts. You use data. And his 'questioning everything' isn't really the gist of your work. You don't question everything, you examine some things in great detail.

Still, congratulations. I think that your marketing/content/service structure is really the future. Instead of you wanting to be bigger than the NYT, I could see the NYT following your model - if they could build a service structure that isolates it from the content structure.

Who knows. Even Porlandia wadded in on the topic.

> That the you that is follows from other things is immaterial in regard to 2 (it is material in regard to 1).

I don't see it that way. The you that is follows from the (you, stuff that isn't you) at the previous moment. Your actions and the results are both a consequence of the previous (you, stuff that isn't you).

In other words, I'm having trouble differentiating you from the stuff that isn't you. I just imagine the world is a giant mechanical machine, churning along according to some physical laws, where the you is just a conscious entity that identifies itself with small subset of atoms in the machine and believes it can affect the movement of those atoms.

I prefer makmanalp's explanation to the wording you are using right now. It emphasizes that hashing is an one-way operation and "encryption" or "scrambling" are more familiar and less abstract than "representation". I know its not an accurate usage of the terms but this is the layman FAQ and we could always add a link to a more in-depth explanation using the correct terminology (hashing, salts & key strength).

It does have bulk import; I've been loading largish subsets of the Freebase dumps.

Load speed is pretty good (into persistent storage, I assume) and can be improved with some of the database parameters. A rough estimate is that a million triples or so takes about 5 minutes, but that slows down as it gets bigger. 134m triples took me 6-8hrs, so I slept on it.

You're arguing that there isn't a "you". Sure, you're not a first order entity in the universe.

Automatic (YC, I think) do a good amount of that driving analysis, like telling the driver they brake or accelerate too hard, using only OBD-II and an accelerometer.

I think a built-in system doing this kind of thing would be really cool. The technology is obviously already there, but the software isn't, so having an app platform creates a lot of opportunity. I wonder how deep Google will be able to convince manufacturers to take the integration - modern cars expose a ton of data and functionality over the CAN bus, but it's all undocumented and proprietary and is often obfuscated as well.
The problem isn't captchas, but users not understanding how to interact with them. So what if a few are bad? Hammer out best guesses, fast as you can, until you're successful. It's not as if you're graded on accuracy. There is no reason to ever resort to the refresh button,

Out of curiosity, I went and opened the demo page (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/demo/ajax) in a new incognito window and timed myself. I can do about 8/minute at maybe 90% accuracy.
