I see this as the only contentious point raised by some of their users. They are doing an outstanding job already at dealing with a large infrastructure running a wide range of heterogeneous applications. They likely run updates on their infrastructure on a regular basis, without anybody noticing.

However, if you're selling me on the promise of taking care of infrastructure for me, you can't under-deliver on communicating as soon as st hits the fan.

I've paid for textmate and sublime text because they were better than their immediate competition for what I use them for. I know lots of other people who have paid for one or the other. I have a really nice tmux + vim workspace I use a lot but for unfamiliar codebases I find exploring a lot nicer in sublime.
Top In-App Purchases

Interesting, I did not know Apple allows donations as in-app purchases.
Yes.

The trick is to frame your skill set in more generic terms. For instance, imagine an actor. Actors don't just play around on stage and quote Shakespeare all the time. More broadly, actors must:

* Learn vast amounts of material in a short period of time
* Work independently
* Work as a team
* Accept criticism
* Show up on time
* Meet deadlines (the show must go on)
* Adhere to a strict schedule
* Speak comfortably in public
* Have good communication skills
* Basic improvisational skills
* Empathy

How many of those do you think would be useful in a tech job? (Hint: all of them)

Take what you know. Broaden the scope. Mix in some code and a basic portfolio. Get a junior position somewhere. It's possible.

Good luck.

I did something like this using the open source vnc viewer for android. I had the idea that you could make a 10,000 x 10,000 pixel virtual screen and then use it for programming. You could turn your head and phone would then show a different part of the screen. Also I had it so if you tilted your head left or right it would zoom in or out based on the direction.

It worked well enough, but my phone's resolution was only 1280x800 which is 640x800 per eye. Not enough to really be able to program well.

I just got the quad hd LG G3 though, so I'm going to try it again as soon as I can get a good setup (I'm in hong kong right now so ordering things online is a little tricky). If anyone wants the (hacky) source code, and a brief manual, let me know.

BTW, I just used a hat with cardboard and tape to hold the phone and several pairs of high strength reading glasses worn on top of each other to get the lenses right.
I have dyslexia, no problems with captchas though. In fact I found the examples from OP article to be not all that difficult. Maybe it's because when I am solving the capture, I just look at one letter at a time, instead of trying to read and comprehend the word. I found it that in many cases the control word isn't actually a word at all, just string of characters. I usually have 80-90% success rate nowadays, used to be 100%, but they are really getting more and more difficult.
That's awesome, I'm glad to hear there are still folks playing Descent. Truly an underrated multiplayer game. I loved playing it on IPX over TCP with a modem way back in the day.

I like the search engines and discoverability. My own project - much, much smaller - is for embedding search into the Javadocs themselves (along with some SEO improvements, like iframes and better meta-info).

The search is driven by Apache Solr and can be seen at: http://www.solr-start.com/javadoc/solr-lucene/index.html . I use custom doclet to generate the actual Javadoc, which is an interesting challenge all by itself.

> "One of the best places in which to invest money is India, not Switzerland or the US or any western destination,”

I have always sensed this to be the case, even though I don't have any data to back this up.

As an investor the last place I want to put my money (ill gotten or black) is in an off shore untraceable bank, or any bank for that matter. Banks' rate of interest can't even beat the inflation let alone give decent returns.

Secondly, I see money being splurged in entertainment industry (IPL, Bollywood). I really doubt that that money is all white. Most of the sponsors of IPL teams (hell, even BCCI's sponsor, Sahara) are not publicly listed (so there's no way to know their sources of income) and have been pulled by one or the other authorities. Bollywood's funding is more or less open secret that it comes from Mafia and it's a fair guess that they act as guardians and investors of the black money owned by politicians/businessmen/bureaucrats.

I was really excited as well, until they decided to remove the encryption completely.

The nice thing about the encryption in vim was that it was a cross platform way for encrypting and decrypting plain text. I use it nearly everyday on my (work) windows pc, headless ubuntu server, macbook pro and nexus 5. And the only thing I have to do is open the file with vim.

It gives a negative impression when you compare it with GDP, because, when saying GDP, every one assumes it as the amount a country makes in a year, and the writer is take as a smug by the sensitive ones.

Seldom people take GDP as the amount county spends in a year (expenditure method for calculating GDP)( and that does not leave such a bad image of the situation after all :D )

Thanks for the kind comments on WP, folks who made them.

In terms of Node, at Automattic we also think it's the bee's knees and have a number of projects that are built in it. But it's pretty weak for distribution, PHP/MySQL is still tops.

I think to the extent WP has been successful over the past 11 years it's because we've always been gradually rewriting and refactoring things, and have listened to our users and been driven by a community rather than just a company. We have a vision (democratize publishing) for more than just money, and it drives efforts from education to localization.
Thank you for the link. One subscriber uses one antenna at a time. That is how I thought it worked.

When you said that "You're just buying individual access to an independently owned and operated antenna array." I thought you meant that all subscribers where sharing access to the to the array.

Time share rentals exist so it makes sense you could do it with antenna as well.

> Aero's proprietary transcoding setup and the equipment that handles the feed coming off the antenna, and that is definitely not run on a 1:1 basis.

Is there evidence they are mixing signals from different antenna to improve signal quality. I thought I had read quotes from the CEO saying with pride this was not the case.
That may well be; but historically, farms were the perfect vehicle to launder ill-gotten wealth. You claim (on paper, and certified by greasing some palms) that your farm's output was $X*2, when in fact it was $X. Suddenly, the extra $X of money is counted as "agricultural income" and tax free (AFAIK).
Agreed. I don't feel the same level of engagement
I use and like StartCom certificates, but they wouldn't solve this problem. Wildcard certificates should not require identity validation; you should be able to get a domain-validated wildcard certificate for free.

Also, their free certificates expire every year; domain-validated certificates should only require revalidation if the domain changes hands.

Did want to share that I came across this phenomenon on the underside of Silver Maple leaves the other day, and on the underside of Weeping Willow today. (The tops wet really well) What fascinates me is that the Silver Maple is native to the same areas as other Maples and yet, those other types are not hydrophobic at all - not on the top or the underside. Why would two plant leaves of the same genus, growing in the same area, have such different leaves?

That's why separation of incentives from actions is important. If the police has no control over the money and can not benefit from it, they do not have incentive for abuse. The hospital which will get the money may have, but they won't have the means.
Yeah that seems odd — I thought it was disallowed too. Perhaps you get something trivial?

I've seen a few other devs get around it by offering something trivial for the purchase (e.g., a golden version of the app logo).
So is the late 20th-century slang usage of "gross."
"Conservative" refers to the vague party/ideology that more smoothly (than "liberalism", that is) allows for-profit coroprations to co-opt the government to achieve the regulatory situation for maximal wealth accumulation. It refers to nothing else. To pretend otherwise is to further facilitate the maximal wealth accumulation.
> use as much of cache line as possible.

> For example in the next code when else clause is happening, we are throwing complete cache line which was fetched by accessing the is_alive member

struct Obj {
bool is_alive;
…
};

std::vector<Object> objs;

for (auto o: objs) {
if (o.is_alive)
do_stuff(o);
else {
// just thrown a cache line
}
}

So, how do you fix that?

My first idea would be to remove the is_alive member from the objects and creating a is_alive array of boolean, one for each object. But this opens a whole new set of problems (how to map from objects to is_alive indexes, static vs dynamic set of object that can be alive, etc.).
The equipment I talked about above includes a server which can be used by the renter to server the signal from the antenna to themselves.

So an end user could log on to their server tap into their antenna and watch whatever the antenna was picking up. They could install dvr software to their server if they needed to record shows and play it back latter.
I think the question you should ask yourself is: how is the NSA involved in the currently established CA system? The answer (to your question) is , the very same way. Besides, who does think that having an alternative CA provider is going to change anything? The crypto empowering security nowadays is un-trusted, implementations proven containing backdoors, and on the top of that all the implementations are written in languages that can't be formally verified and there are serious security bugs every other week. Back to the topic, what is this new CA group addressing? Which part of this chain that going to be fixed by any mean with this initiative? I guess the answer is none. :)

"To compound the problem, PGI has begun reversing its stances on a number of features, which include “no coolant flush” and “no third-person view,” in order to garner more players and make a higher profit."

By higher profit they probably mean any profit at all. Gamers have zero ability to read between the lines. This isn't a bunch of greedy devs driving Ferraris that want more money to buy a Lambo. This reeks of a desperate hail mary to save the studio and avoid shutting down. The game is probably a total failure and they are doing anything and everything they can to not lay the whole team off.

Gamers have a right to be angry I suppose. Go ahead. Be angry. If a company can't make payroll it doesn't matter of it's community is angry or happy.
I imagine cutting off "weird unicode" won't be too hard. For English, it's super-easy - just leave ASCII with letters, numbers, punctuation, etc., cut the rest. For languages with more complex characters it will require some whitelisting I guess, and smart code to disallow stacking diacritics, etc. Sounds quite possible, I wouldn't be surprised if such libraries already existed.
"It’s one thing to check that the derivatives of a function are zero and another to feel the plaster taper to a sharp point."

Those are two very different things. A sharp point is not differentiable. A derivative of zero indicates a possible minimum or maximum of the function.

This is a problem anywhere the customer is completely disconnect with the costs of the product they consume. To the a feature is a costless idea that simply can be implemented by saying the word. As we know in real life every feature has time, money and community costs -- many of which are hard to estimate.

If it was "I have a valid license", then I would agree - in fact, I could cite

Well, one way to automatedly ensure someone controls all the subdomains a wildcard certificate gives would be to ask them to create dns records indicating that. Basically, the CA could say "you want *.example.com, then create a dns txt record at mzzafr2pr.example.com with the following text: F5cbUl7pL2JM7z and click here. We'll get back to you once we see the dns change propagate". If I can create a random subdomain they suggest within a wildcard range, that makes it almost certain I can create every subdomain.

Let me counter your anecdote with mine. I talk with customers all day for project related work. I regularly put thousands of minutes on my phone each month, mostly for work.

There's literally no way that today's battery density (or even in several years) is high enough to support more than a dozen calls, not to mention all the radios a cell phone requires (just think antenna length, not space).

I wouldn't expect a viable standalone phone-watch until 2025 barring significant advances in battery technology and cell antenna design.

Would love to read your opinion.
There's an assumption in this that domain validated certificates can be wholly automated. But, in the same way that spammers seek out open SMTP relays, phishers seek out weak SSL validation systems for use in setting up phishing sites.

CA's currently maintain internal keyword warning systems that flag domain validated requests for manual intervention. Anything that even hints that it is involved with a major company, church, charity, bank or financial institution gets flagged and approved manually.
