By own admission, I'm a bit of a WP fan boy, but this was a stellar example of putting forth a constructive criticism about WP (in this case, for App usage). Almost all WP sentiments here tend to have obnoxious/negative/histrionic/elitist/brash/shortsighted qualities, so it's refreshing to see a balanced perspective padded with actual reasoning.

Freelance Inbox piques my interest, but have you considered a commission fee business model as opposed to monthly payments? I'd like to try it out your service without putting any money up, and if it works well I wouldn't mind paying a certain percentage (or flat rate) to you if the lead turned out to be profitable.
pretty much :-)
However, if u wish to opt out of the service, the data - which can be mapped to the user, will also be deleted. The primary ownership belongs to the users.
It's also wrong :)

Which the author freely admits:

(Some will insist that what we're doing is more properly called "partial application", and that "currying" should be reserved for the cases where the resulting functions take one parameter, each resolving to a separate new function until all the required parameters have been supplied. They can please feel free to keep on insisting.)

No code in source control.

It's a wordpress website with a big DB and heavy traffic.

I've read that I could use WHM cPanel facility to backup and restore the website into another VPS in which I will install cPanel. From a forum I saw someone else with same task being adviced to do this:

---------------------------------------

1.Check versions of php,mysql,apache, and check whether the required php-apache modules are enabled on the new server.Check whether the exact php handler enabled on new server(like suPHP or fastcgi)

2.Create packages as like old server.

3.Ensure Dedicated IPs for the accounts are assigned properly, and ssl too.

4.Check the ownership and permissions of the accounts(sometimes permission/ownership issues will occur on cpanel-cpanel migrations).

5.Perform cPanel WHM migrations

---------------------------------------

Then, how much should I charge for this, including possible go-wrong scenarios (hopefully not hehe but..) ??
Two things:
- GPU instance support would be really really helpful
- Pricing of the higher perf tiers is a bit painful which changes the normal AWS $ optimization metrics pretty massively

Otherwise -- it's definitely something we'd consider using; I end up doing 99% of my work on my laptop because AWS setup fixed cost time is 30minutes plus every time.
Very true. The lack of implicit sequencing is the hardest thing for people to understand from an imperative programming background. You need a different set of conceptual structures such as the state machine and the pipeline. This is why the various C-to-Verilog tools remain niche, they can translate behaviour but not redesign for you.

I also agree that it's stuck in the 70s, comparable to Fortran 77 or ALGOL. Bundling related signals and functionality together to produce something corresponding to an "object" or a "type" is basically impossible. All sorts of errors that could be caught automatically or discouraged by language design aren't. There's a lot of typing, and necessary duplication of effort. IDEs don't help much.

Heavy unit and system testing is fortunately widespread. Because it's the only way to ensure you end up with something that actually works.

I have a back-burner project to design a more modern language that compiles to Verilog which would make this sort of thing much more accessible.
2 things

1. I never said I've had unpleasant experiences with code reviews, I said they're too often wielded as a bullying tactic. This is something that can be recognized without actually being a part of the bullying tactic.

Furthermore, your comment attempts to subvert my statement by implying my observation is more about bad personal experiences and less about thoughtfulness.

2. The context for which code reviews has been used is not throwing up some code on a random website and asking random strangers to look over it for educational purposes.

The context is one of a professional environment where code is typically required to be reviewed by another professional before being allowed into the general codebase in an attempt to both educate about the current codebase, catch possible inefficiencies, and to try and maintain some form of quality control with respect to the mechanical aspects of the code.

These are completely different contexts. On a site like Hacker School the worst you're going to get is people mouthing off about shit. In a professional environment, the worst you'll get is fired. Very different environments.
I’ve Worked with Hundreds of Recruiters – Here's What I Learned
1. I recommend that a newbie get a DE0 nano board. It's much cheaper than DE1/DE2 and has fun sensors like an accelerometer on it which can lead to pretty cool applications. I designed a quadcopter control system entirely on the DE0, using a NIOS II based Qsys system. The academic price is only $59: https://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?No=593

2. Fun fact: the cover of the Fundamentals of Digital Logic book has Chess on it because the author, Zvonko Vranesic, is not only an father in the FPGA/CAD industry, he is also an International Chess master. Also, he's quite good at ping pong for being 76 :(

Most people seemed to use it to notify their parents that they were ready to be picked up from a prearranged place much like you're describing with missed calls.

CIA hatched plan to make demon toy to counter Osama bin Laden’s influence
I argue the barrier to FPGA adoption is the actual use-case, not the tools. People who need them can use the tools just fine. FPGA designers are not idiots. They do not walk around scratching their heads wondering, "how come nobody is using our products? If only they were easier to use!" There is a new open-source attempt at replacing imcumbent tools bi-annually begun and dropped.

The use cases for FPGAs are a much harder impediment to adoption. Many people get "FPGA boners" when they even hear the word, fancying themselves "chip designers," but practical use cases are much rarer. As evidence, notice they predominate in the military world, where budget is less of an issue than the commercial world.

The technical issue with FPGAs is that they are still one level abstracted from any CPU. They are only valuable in problems where some algorithm or task can be done with specific logic more quickly than the CPU, given 1. the performance hit of reduced real estate and 2. reduced clock speed relative to a CPU and 3. more money than a CPU.

Further diminishing their value is that any function important enough to require an FPGA can more economically get absorbed into the nearest silicon. For example, consider the serial/deserial coding of audio/video codecs. That used to be done in FGPAs, but got moved into a standard bus (SPI) and moved into codecs and CPUs.

Because of this rarity, experienced engineers know that when an FPGA is introduced to the problem in practical reality, it's a temporary solution (most often to make time-to-market). This confers a degree of honor which is why people get so emotionally-aroused about FPGAs.

You can bet though, that if whatever search function Microsoft is running on those FPGAs proves to be useful, it will be soon absorbed into a more economical form, such as an ASIC, or, more likely, additional instructions to the CPU.

Really, installs on 1,600 servers such as this article reports, is not that impressive and certainly only a prototypical rollout.
I'm glad you agree that it's a weak argument. It also just happens to be the argument you made in reverse. That was actually the point.
I find this an interesting counter to the Diplomacy post (Alpha Nerd Game) yesterday. I wonder if the same rules apply in Fred's world.
I just checked your site out and wanted to give a little feedback since I like the idea after some mulling.

To buy a car it's somewhat annoying. There is no good way to filter based on things such as transmission for example or search based on anything at all such as location or price even. I have to go through the whole list and as you grow that will be no longer viable, it was already a pita.

Also when I go to an individual car there are very few details. The photos are good and what a lot of terrible CL ads lack, but it would be nice to have the specific engine in the car for example since in many cars there are many options there. I also expected a list of options and standard items like carmax gives.

Finally you should include the VIN, I always have a friend run it for me before I even see a car, that has saved me so much time.

Good luck!

Better idea - turn off comments.
Austria is second only to Italy in difficulty. The central board position is a strength, but also a weakness. I'm a firm believer that Austria needs to crush either Turkey or Russia as quickly as possible, so they can get their back to a wall somewhere and not be constantly surrounded. Turkey is a better target, because it enables naval operations later. But ultimately it depends on your opponents.
Online commenting is something I'm secretly passionate about.

“The Internet is the first medium in history that has native support for groups and conversation at the same time. Whereas the phone gave us the one to one pattern. And television, radio, magazines, books, gave us the one to many pattern. The Internet gives us the many to many pattern.”

Think of how awesome it would be if we figured out how to refine communicating/ commenting online. Does anyone know if it's possible to contribute to this project?
The best advice I ever got when I started to play with Verilog and FPGAs in undergrad was that one should think of the circuit first, then write the Verilog to describe it. As another poster said, this isn't programming; there are no usual sequential semantics (first compute this, then assign that value) even though code samples may look that way. The tricky (slash insanely cool) thing about HDLs is that they infer a lot of things -- latches, MUXes, ALUs -- out of a high-level description. But the abstraction is leaky, so you need to understand digital logic (state machines, latches, pipelines, ...) and then work up from there.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is, study digital logic first, then imagine the circuit you want to build, then write the Verilog that infers that circuit :-)

Hot or not for Vines: fun way to browse curated Vine videos
It didn't work very well, but there is a good reason: Nobody wanted a slow and comparatively low performance chip paired with a small FPGA connected via a (slow) PCI-express connect. There are hundreds of big FPGA boards with PCIe connectors that can be tied to big CPUs already. It was a non-product from the get-go.
By your reasoning Amazon are crazy for keeping as low margins as they are. They are leaving money on the table in the belief that as long as they stay somewhat profitable their future earnings will outweigh the short-term benefits from the money grab they certainly could make. They also have the added benefit of being hard to attack this way.

Fred Wilson is making a similar argument. By leaving some money on the table you increase your long term growth potential. People will be more likely to make deals with his funds if they know that he will make them a good deal rather than try to make the best deal for himself. His belief is that that strategy has a better chance of success, as he will get in on more good deals than someone who doesnt.

As long as he is open about that fact I see no problem. If you dont believe that is a good strategy you shouldnt invest with him. If you do, you should, in the same way that you should buy amazon stock if you believe in their strategy.

This article seems to have missed some major differences between Passenger and the other app servers. In my comparisons, I've found Passenger difficult to compare to other app servers on the basis that it aspires to be more than its competition. Specifically, Passenger rolls in its own watchdog [1] and management toolchain (utilities like passenger-status and passenger-memory-stats). Passenger also tries (and succeeds) in minimizing your investment in configuration and tweaking of your app server. These are things you have to roll your own solutions to if you are using other Ruby app servers.

This is not to say you shouldn't use those other app servers, or that Passenger always wins on performance, but I've always forced myself to ask the question: how will I benefit from the performance advantages of other app servers?

Another thing to keep in mind is that you have to look very carefully at your performance issues to understand whether your app server is actually your performance bottleneck. App servers get a lot of attention. There are droves of articles written comparing the maximum request rate achievable under circumstances that very few applications operate. The bottom line is that if your application spends most of its time executing Ruby code, your app server isn't your bottleneck. There is the possibility that you'll see an improvement in memory usage, but you need to test your application rather than rely on generalized assumptions. The improvements might not be worth the trade-offs.

There seem to be a lot of comments here recommending godep, but just to throw my experience in: none of the projects I've interacted with use godep (other than the Heroku buildpack, which was written by the author of Godep).

It seems to be a solution for some (not all) projects that are released in binary form, but that isn't relevant to most projects out there[0]. I have never felt the need for what godep provides; vendoring myself has been sufficient for the (very rare) case in which I need specific versions of dependencies other than tip/trunk.

I asked around on #go-nuts, and (though the sample size was small), the other regular contributors who idle in the channel seemed to have the same experience.

YMMV obviously.

2 problems with your comment.

1. 'baggage' is not a synonym for 'rights' (legal? social?)
2. While an Atheist is necessarily a non-believer, a non-believer is not necessarily an Atheist.

Furthermore, you tell people you're an Atheist specifically because it conveys a lot with a little. Some of what it conveys is definitely not secular humanism, if that's how you prefer being viewed, you should start with that.

Not only is that not an offensive observation, it should be common sense.
Yes, freely admitted. (Author here.)

I feel that although the distinction can be very important, it's much less so for Javascript. And the implementation in Ramda can be used that way any time you choose:

var total = reduce(add)(0); // or
var sum = reduce(add)(0)(numbers)

works just as well in Ramda as

var total = reduce(add, 0); // or
var sum = reduce(add, 0, numbers)

So, as I said, feel free to keep on insisting. :-)

A big advantage that FPGAs have over ASICs, aside from time-to-market and one-time (fab) costs, is reconfigurability. Take a few seconds to stream in a new bitfile and suddenly you have a different chip. This seems like an obvious need in something like a datacenter full of FPGAs: unless you've purpose-built the thing for one or a small set of algorithms that never change, you want the ability to deploy a completely new logic design tomorrow or next week or next year.
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis last year, and I can tell you that you won't get your weight issues sorted out until you have the proper treatment.

I am a college athlete who consistently exercises at a high level, and I ballooned uncontrollably last summer. I started using a strict diet, but that wasn't nearly enough. I'm on the right medication now, and the "mental fog" and dreariness, which I couldn't even tell I was going through at the time, is gone.

Right now this is your most important problem, and you should take every necessary step to fix it. I can personally tell you that everything you're going through is closely related to your hypothyroidism. Good luck!
The project has really great ideas,the implementation tho is a mess. Like ubercode5 mentioned, C++ doesn't help their case. I think they really should bring it down to a very high language. Performance be damned. Just get it working first then optimize. Python/Lua will attract a lot of people. They can write the really CPU resource code in C and wrap em.
I was comparing the E to the Radiant, not the G.

Moto E: Dual-core 1.2 GHz, 4.3 inches, 540x960, Internal 4GB, 1GB RAM, MicroSD, 5MP Camera, 854x480 Video, HSDPA, Li-Ion 1980 mAh, Android 4.4

Price: $130 @ Amazon

ZTE Radiant: Dual-core 1.4 GHz, 4.0 inches, 480x800, Internal 2GB, 1GB RAM, MicroSD, 5MP Camera, 1280x720 Video, HSDPA, Li-Ion 1735 mAh, Android 4.1

Price: $75 @ Amazon

The Moto E and the ZTE Radiant do not have identical specs. But the Radiant is half the cost at almost the same specs. It's clearly a better value. If you can't stand not having the latest Android you can install many custom ROMs, or just wait a year or two for another dirt-cheap phone with a newer version and buy that.
I passed zero judgment on CouchDB, but was responding specifically to the notion that doing something "wrong" if it saves you a small amount of development time at the outset is fine.

Good luck - and if it helps here is a quote that I find rather motivating (and yes, I do know what it is like to leave a steady job for your own project):

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

[It's an awesome quote made even better by the role it had in a fantastic sporting/political event - involving rugby so therefore doubly awesome]

I think you could successfully make the argument that most hiring decisions are probably done like that.

Of course, I would imagine there's a lot fewer metrics available for hiring for most non-athlete positions, so "moneyball" might be a bit tougher for off-the-field jobs.

However, NBC Sports still claims it holds the record for the most internet views of a sporting match, Variety reported yesterday, even though the record-setting 2014 Olympic Semi Final hockey game between the U.S. and Canada generated only 2.1 million views.
