Would love feedback on it or the overall byoFS project.
I disagree. I made a drum machine that, while has a few bugs (the beat url), tempo isn't one of them. Even when switching tabs.

As an aside, the drum sounds themselves are generate using the web audio api.
They're welcome to come down to Georgia. The only thing that made me want to leave was not having marriage equality, and that'll be solved in 0-2 years.

I like JS and all that but having to wait for the css to load is not great UX.
Okay then. Where would these backups go? S3 is easy to backup to. Tarsnap is nice. Rsync.net works as well. But these are all online backup options.

If you're advocating offloading to physical media, you need someone who is going to religiously do it (execute code, pull to removable flash drive/SATA dock), and the more up to date you want your backups to be, the more tedious it becomes.

How much are you willing to spend to have AWS Export send you a physical SATA drive nightly?

It depends on what they use the movements for. If it allows me to navigate more things with a single hand without me looking like a white man trying to boogy down, then I'm all for it.

edit: plus, if they really have strong kindle/amazon streaming, they could be looking to try and take some of hulu/netflix's thunder.
"Tornado only blocks if you do something silly. It's event based, and can keep hundreds of connections open and waiting for it's async response event before actioning/responding the open connection." - Yes pure tornado based apps are probably fine if you know what you are doing.

"Wow, overkill much? Polling is bad, and is exactly the kind of bad solution that a lot of these libraries are in place to prevent developers from needing to do." - Polling is not bad if you have a good use case. You just cannot do non-blocking stuff with Django for instance, or it's very very hard and tricky. Websockets also limit you with the number of connections you can have open at once.
Does anyone know if it will be available to download?
SolarWinds is a good place to work AFAIK.

All of the employees that I know are cool people and very happy there and the pay, if I remember correctly, was pretty good.

BTW, the good admins are not coming out of the standard webhost support roles. Those people are cheap, but for good reason. The higher tiers at those shops, maybe.
> I think this map does a fine job of showing movement patterns in relation to education

It most definitely does not. It does a mediocre job of showing movement patterns, and a terrible job of relating them to education.

To show movement patterns it needs to show relative change, not absolute change.

To show education changes it needs a completely different format. (And that's not a map.)

For the first year, you're tied to your employer. After that, you're free to change jobs, but only within your field of work.

You need to reapply for the work permit when you change jobs or every two years (max validity duration), which is quite painless. After 4 years you should get permanent residence, and no longer need any permits.. This is the process for most non-EU residents.
I would just point out to you in your rush to condemn the miner's desires for increased compensation that a software developer, even one with a three-year degree, is unlikely to be crushed or killed or suffocated or maimed in the course of their work.

That laborers who risk life and limb should demand part of the prodigious wealth they are responsible for extracting sounds eminently sensible.

So yeah.
That's one of the reasons I never used anything like AWS. (Another is that for my kind of usage they're just too expensive)
They are hiring in Des Moines if you want to get on their team, http://www.dice.com/common//seeker/docs/dice_jobs.jsp#job52
They did last year, and the year before. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcefcZRL2oaA_uBNeo5UOWg
Uh, so what if they earn more than a recent graduate? I'm sure their work is plenty dangerous and also no doubt extremely profitable for the mining company, so if they want to organize to get a reasonable wage then fair play to them in my book.
They have existed for a number of years[0]. Even still, being a new service is no excuse for such poor handling of OpSec.

What is the significance of this?

It's something I would love to have, and that I've thought about myself. However, I'd love if someone sees into this hackpad more than a list of wishes by a group of folks.

Is this group of folks notorious for solving and shipping problems of this kind?
Wikis are editable live, usually by anybody; but I cannot see a way to edit any of these projects that use MDwiki. So if that is the case, this isn't a wiki project, and why is it called one?

The battle star galactic board game is another game where the social side is the important bit basically one or more of the payers are secretly cylons and have to subtly sabotage the game so that the human side loses.

The fun thing is part way through the game you can suddenly find that you are a cylon and have to switch sides.

NSA creation or not, SELinux is at its core really little more than a strict state/transition machine. It has also been vetted pretty well over the years.

The syntax for the transition rules on the other hand looks like someone disgorged C-struct assignments on paper and left them there. So while SELinux (the system) is quite easily understood, the rules used to build SELinux systems are frightening, large, and from first appearance, very, very complex.

(disclosure: I had the privilege of going through SELinux a few years ago when Nokia considered using it as part of their Maemo platform security. The engineering effort was eventually deemed too large and the benefit too little, so it was skipped as infeasible. Less than two years later, Google announced that they would be taking on the task with their SE-Android project.)
This is all very reasonable and pretty unusual.. i wonder how many migratory pressure the country is feeling usually, given the instability in some regions of the world that have Europe as a common migratory target.. it looks that the political class can keep its own sanity, even when pressure may be higher..

I wonder how much of this resonable migratory pressure is given to the Welfare state policy..
The interactive visualization is focused on net migration, but the article is focused on differences in migration based on education.

Is there a place I can get the raw data?
I think this deserves a reply. First of all, the child welfare system is not allowed to disclose why they take the children, so naturally you get a very one sided view of all stories.

Scandinavian countries are culturally /very/ different from the rest of the world. Child safety is not taken lightly, and physical abuse or risk of sexual mutilation are typical things that they react on. Schools are obliged to contact the child welfare system if there is any suspicion or any wrong doing.

I know the there are some pretty high profile cases with eastern european and middle eastern children involved right now, which I'm sure you are referring to. TL; DR: Don't hit your children. They will be taken away.

"they just make the task of programming a crypto library a bit more fun and challenging, not riskier"

Seriously? It makes it more difficult to get things right, but the risk of getting it wrong is not increased? And that after you just described how the challenges of JS have already directly led to vulnerabilities?

Also, you mostly don't really support your own argument. How exactly does a malicious server not affect "crypto browser apps"? How does staying out of scope for PCI DSS have anything to do with security (except maybe demonstrating that PCI DSS is crap because it can so easily be circumvented)? Also, in what kind of scenario would leaking info in a referer be a problem, but leaking the same info in encrypted form would not? And how do you guarantee that your verification code is loaded fresh from the server once your application has been compromised in a browser?
Exactly. Execs actually try to avoid giving out dividends these days because:

1) It attracts investors who are looking for a short gain, and not interested in the long-term success of the company

2) It becomes a seasonal expense that investors expect. If dividends stop, it sends a bad signal to the market.
Wouldn't scaling by the size of the cities make it even harder to judge where people are actually going or moving away from? Maybe you're looking for something different in the data than I am, but it seems like that would obscure the most important numbers.

To elaborate a bit more: Diplomacy differs greatly from similar games (i.e. Axis and Allies, Risk) in that each army/fleet has the same 'strength'. There is no die-rolling involved to determine who wins in an encounter, it's just the number of units on offense/defense. It's impossible for a single army unit to capture a region so long as that region is occupied by an enemy unit, so taking territory requires either a concerted effort from multiple units that you own (which makes you weaker on other fronts), or it requires allying with other players in the game (which opens you up to being betrayed).

I wouldn't quite call it "the game that ruins friendships", but since it places a lot of emphasis on the social aspects of the game, rather than the strategic, it involves lots of lying and backstabbing, which can (understandably) strain relationships between the players.
Yea... I am not sure I understand the Boston metric on this chart right now. Boston+Cambridge are in a huge development boom. Residences and offices are going up all over the place and the project pipeline over the next 2 to 3 years is filled with a ton of stuff.

If Wikipedia is to be believed Boston added 18K people between 2010 and 2012. Between 2000 and 2010 it added 29,000. I think I also heard recently somewhere that in 2012 to 2014 Boston added another 10 - 15K people. The only thing I can think is Boston is being considered more than just Boston-proper but is including the entire Metro-west.

Instant Machine Learning for your Dropbox Files with BigML
If this interest you guys, you will most likely be interested by what we do over at prismic.io too. Basically, we're a service too, we output content as JSON too, and are very focused on versioning too; but we also have what we call the "writing-room", a very user-friendly UI to let non-technical content writers write comfortably without needing tech tools such as Git; and we come up with our own content query API.

It works with most technologies (we have kits in JS, Ruby, PHP, Java, Scala, Python, ...), and we did release a static website generator based on a JS engine which we called baked.js.

Check us out if you're interested in tech-flexible, design-flexible content management where content is nicely versioned.
Adapting education to the way we learn
That's how pooled mining works, but I think you have to trust the pool operator to do the % accounting. The % split is not recorded in the blockchain.

The block reward payout destination address is part of the coinbase that everyone is trying to mine. You can't have the actual block contain a list of all active miners; as the list of miners changes, the target coinbase hash changes too. There wouldn't be any incentive for anyone to try to mine a coinbase containing rewards towards other miners. That would just be giving away your block reward to others for free: If you are actually able to find a block before anyone else, you should have tried to find a block that maximizes payout to yourself.
Oddly (for how detailed it is in other places) this skips the actual wire protocol side of enumeration -- reset device, read descriptors, assign address, etc.

Enumeration is an interesting process -- newly reset devices accept transfers to address zero, until the host assigns a non-zero addres. Then the next device (if their are additional devices detected on a hub, or if the just-enumerated device is a hub with devices below it) can be enumerated (initially responding at 0 after reset), walking the entire tree of hubs and devices (and revisiting it as necessary when hubs report connections and disconnections).
Not helping: I think they've done an exceptionally poor job of clarifying how they defined the metropolitan areas. For example, the label for the data in the Boston area (lifted off the map, which was the only place I could find the slightest mention) is "Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH". Grouping MA and NH?! Conversely, Riverside and Los Angeles are separated despite covering a similar geographic range. I'd love to see the geographic regions in this study shown as polygons on a map, along with some sense of the total population per region.
Someone (or actually 2 people) said things akin to "You're only an L4, therefore you need to be working on this part of the project." Both were newly L5.

I told them "That is not how we do things at Google. If you believe what I'm working on is not useful, communicate what the priorities are for the project and I will pick something that is both interesting to me and helpful for you. If there is nothing on this project that fits into that category, I will find a new project."

In both cases, they looked abashed and backpedaled.

This is what an L5 would do. Try to work directly with the people involved to figure out a compromise solution, and if that fails, exercise other options. And sure enough, I was promoted fairly soon thereafter.

Does anyone have a guess as to who all of these people are who are moving into these expensive metro areas? I read the same thing about Seattle, that it's too expensive to live comfortably in the city so people are moving to the bordering suburbs (like Shoreline or Burien), yet the city grew faster than the suburbs over the past couple of years. Is this a case of "nobody goes there, it's too crowded" or am I missing a link somewhere?
What do you think of Microsoft buying sponsored posts?
In tech it should be fine. I know in the game industry, at least, they don't care what other languages you speak, as long as you speak English. May or may not be true at bigger companies, e.g. if you're in IT in a big mainly-Swedish company.

Though if you want to work at a bigger company, you could try Denmark, where my impression is that English workplaces are multiplying much faster. The biggest private-sector employer, Maersk, a few years ago switched to an officially all-English workplace, and this is becoming common. Their motivation was that as a multinational logistics company, it's too troublesome to have different languages involved: they want to have the flexibility to assign someone from Hong Kong to a Copenhagen-hosted teleconference, or forward them a document created in Copenhagen, so corporate policy is now that everything happens in English, except for a narrow range of things that legally must be done in other languages.
Thanks kentonv, super useful comparison :)
A pull request would edit a page, I think.
It depends on what you do. If you are coloring the whole US by movement then use the absolute values.

But if you are making a chart, or making circles then you have to.

To see this, look at a large-circle city. Now imagine that same city has two neighborhoods, and you list them separately, now suddenly your large circle becomes two small circles, or the top-ranking city on your chart is suddenly a middling city

Yet nothing actually changed in how people move!

I love Cap'n Proto, but I wish it came with more advice on how to use it as part of a full solution. For example, if you're looking for service registration and discovery, authentication or encryption, the answer seems to be "do something else, then add Cap'n Proto".

I realize it probably sounds like I'm asking for hand-holding, but I'm curious how people are using it as part of this nutritious breakfast... er, I mean, back-end infrastructure.
Outnumbered by who? The people securing the network right now are overwhelmingly doing it on pools. If the blockchain forks, the network not supported by pools may literally be unable to continue thanks to the extremely high difficulty it will have post-fork (as has happened with other, smaller coins, thanks to coin-hopping pools).

Good for you, man.
To my knowledge, there aren't any North American spiders that would cause a "seconds count" type threat to your life. I suspect the way this normally works today is:

Black Widow: Have a painful bite on the house!
User: "Ouch!" *slap*

[one hour later]

User: "Oh my god, I am in unimaginable pain."
* User is driven to the hospital.

Or

Brown Recluse: Have a painful bite on the house!
User: "Ouch!" *slap*

[several hours later]

User: This is starting to swell rather
disturbingly, and smarts quite a bit.
* User drives to their doctor

With snakes it's probably another mater. If a snake I could not identify bit me, I would be calling 911 first, and taking pictures afterwards before the ambulance arrived. If it's not a snake that I recognize as safe, then I wouldn't be taking the risk that it wasn't a venomous pet that escaped (since I can recognize the venomous snakes native to my region).
You mean like these?

It's too much work and there are better alternatives. Big files just won't work and wouldn't be superior to torrents. Small files would work but compared to imgur, flickr, youtube, pastebin, tumblr, blogger, etc. it's much more hassle to use github with no advantages.
Ask HN: Tools for collating and creating digests from multiple emails
For some time our team has been looking for a tool to take all the emails from our servers & external services and perform collation / pattern grokking / send out digests & perform general magic.

* We must be able to run this tool ourselves (i.e. not a cloud service)

* We'd like to receive digested / grokked emails from cron jobs / builds / package updates etc... rather than getting individual emails.

* We'd like to look for keywords like 'critical, security, failure' and raise their priority to send them out sooner.

* A web interface would be really nice, but not required.

* Preferably Open Source.

Any ideas?
I'm comparing to places I've lived and cared about rent in, which are Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and now Seattle. You'll never find a _house_ for anywhere near that anywhere near these places.
Indeed – or more to the point: I wasn't clear in my original statement. I am learning about certain aspects of religion – not learning comparative religion.

I am not however "learning atheism" as others have decided to claim in this thread. I stopped believing in god years ago, at that point by definition I was an atheist.

I am interested in the origins of religion, the scientific reasons that it exists, and the negative impact it has on people.
