"I have almost eliminated restaurant meals from my lifestyle"

My son has medically diagnosed celiac and we've had excellent luck at salad bars and grilled food (steak dinner hold the garlic bread) and also buffets.

The, uh, explosive effect out both ends, often simultaneously, is rather noticeable so we're pretty confident the food is "clean" and have had pretty good results.

Avoiding soy sauce seems harder than avoiding wheat. You know whats in soy sauce other than soy, right?

On one hand, the fad is cool because there's megatons of doubly fake food available at high expense, where its fake processed food to begin with, then fake - fake food because they took the wheat out. So its a fake version of fake food. The problem is lets be blunt here, it tastes pretty awful and its not good for you anyway. You wanna go GF my advice is eat a salad or a steak not an awful simulation of fake wonder bread that tastes like compressed sawdust mixed with potato peelings. I don't even have words to describe the fake GF brownie mix my wife made one time, warm road tar mixed with sand and dog droppings? You wanna eat something unhealthy for desert get a quart of organic fruit juice and a home ice cream maker and make a slushy, if you're going to eat something unhealthy at least let it taste good.

I've had this argument quite a few times with my son which when paraphrased is something like, dad why do we have to eat this icky fake lasagna with icky fake garlic bread and then have icky fake apple pie when I loved the grilled homemade honey mustard chicken breasts and a light salad from last night, dad? Dad's homemade stir fries are awesome how come we're stuck eating burgers on icky fake buns tonight? (you can make stir fries without soy sauce...)
If I am reading correctly you are proposing 5 cents is too low so the price should be higher. But the high price will be too high so per-article pricing is bad.

Consumption models change and pricing models change with it (singles vs albums, NetFlix vs BlockBuster, etc).

The idea behind micropayments was that people could have the al-a-carte option and publications like NYTimes could cast a really wide net, collecting cents from millions of readers.

My ISP currently adds metered billing if I go above my plan's bandwidth quota but puts a ceiling until I reach the next plan's limit (which is unmetered bandwidth). This sort of al-a-carte with a ceiling model works quite well.
Yes but in what major engagement that we could reasonably expect to face in the next several decades would a USMC task force be sent without a carrier group. If there is a serious need for airpower in a region there's no way we're not going to send in a supercarrier.

What does that have to do with anything? If you issue fraudulent demand drafts, the bank will trace the destination account and send lawyers after you. If you trace referrers and open the origin URL, it's doubtful whether anyone will trace it or have legal recourse against you.
There's an unofficial ratings system for those who post the jobs[1] that most people who use MT with any sort of regularity (including myself back in the day) use. If a requester consistently fails to pay out, they'll stop getting as many workers who are willing to work on their tasks.

I don't understand why anyone would say that. The things that differentiate Gaza and the west bank from a sovereign state are precisely the basis for the horrible conflict happening there.

Five Common Causes of Organizational Dysfunction
It's surprising to me with the advent of retina screens that there are so few narrow options (M+ is the only one I've seen). Aesthetics aside (although M+ is quite pleasing to the eye), I think the narrowness functionally =is= better.

However the line height is quite tall which I'm not sure is an attribute of the font or text editors. TextMate still inexplicably has terrible line height management (you have to mess around with 2 terminal command settings).
Your front-end application shouldn't be tied to what back-end technology you've chosen.
I helped draft the original blog post :-) To clarify a bit more and help folks evaluate their individual risk, it's worth noting that the impact is limited to a fairly specific scenario.

In essence, you needed to have a non-native document format uploaded to Drive without converting it (PDF is a good example); explicitly share this document with others using a particular setting ("anyone with the link"); and then preview it in the web UI and follow an outgoing HTTPS link (HTTP wouldn't be a problem).
I really wish that there was political will and bravery to allow maintainence with heroin and clinical injecting rooms.

That's obviously better for users, but it's better for wider society too. People who are addicted to drugs will take drugs, so forcing them to do so hidden away in places without safe needle disposal means members of the public or cleaning staff risk needle stick injury.

I'm intrigued by your statement. When I read the word "orthogonal" I'm thinking of two key concepts:

* No functionality overlap in primitives

* Composability of primitives

How do Polymer and React as primitives fulfil said properties ? There's certain overlap in functionality. Composability is not guaranteed.

Did you mean to convey a different idea by "orthogonal" ?
Well, the wars were off the books until Obama put them on but they are "over" now so that is money mostly already spent (like 1 trillion).

When I say black hole I mean money that is wasted. Health and Human Services and Social Security are things that benefit us while wars, our military, and homeland security not so much. Social Security for example is an entitlement that everyone pays into that has always run a surplus so it's paid for... Politicians raiding the fund is a different story.

Our bad foreign policy decisions of the last century are bleeding us dry. Wake up people! Ready for round three in Iraq?

I've yet to find a font that I like more than DejaVu Sans Mono. It strikes the perfect balance between being monospaced and looking good IMO. Plus it's open source easily installable everywhere.

I've tried almost every other "programmer" font but there's always something that rubs me the wrong way. In the case of M+, it just looks thin and silly.
I tried it, and actually don't like the narrowness. It's less readable to me. Also, the light version isn't nearly as sharp as Source Code Pro Light. I think I will be sticking to Adobes font as my favorite...

True, but remember that, say, a Rubyist arriving at haskell.org has no knowledge of:

* what zipWith does

* that (+) is a function being passed, not an operator being invoked

* cons syntax for 1 : 1 : ...

* how this could terminate (having no preexisting knowledge of laziness, remember)

A better goal than "show off all the features of Haskell" is "show a Haskell example that's understandable, demonstrates a clear benefit, and makes you want to learn more."

If a newcomer encounters so much unfamiliar territory that Haskell comes across as too alien to be useful, that only reinforces existing negative stereotypes about it.

Better to give a first impression of "you absolutely can pick up Haskell, and it'll be nice!"

But it says this was only a problem for documents that were not converted to Google Sheets etc. I don't think editing everyone's PDFs and every other kind of document that has clickable URLs is the easiest way to solve this.
dublinben is right, but wasn't this soldier snatched by the separatists and not .ru govt? At least with a quick google search I can't find anything saying otherwise.
Yes, but AFAIK it's polymer-specific
It's not equivalent to null, but analagous to it. With lazy evaluation, I can pass also around the expression `head []` to different places, and it won't complain until I attempt to evaluate it - much like a language with null won't complain until you try to dereference it. Sure there's a difference though - you can see immediately where the problem is with Haskell's error, but it's more difficult to trace why a value might be null in imperative code (Which I think has more to do with mutability than the presence of null).

I was also highlighting that the tryhaskell REPL actually behaves like null, because it doesn't terminate immediately as you would expect.

Just yesterday I was discussing this topic with the author of the Mars language, because his record implementation is equivalent to Haskell's and is flawed in the same way (sum types + records leading to what is effectively the equivalent of `null`) [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8005116]. Given a new language like Mars, he could provide a fix, but we have too much baggage to break Haskell's implementation.

Referrers are still sent if you're clicking an https link on an https site, iirc.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but no programming font comes close to Monaco in terms of clarity and character balance and spacing (vertically and horizontally).

Ultimately it comes down to being able to patterns quickly in the code. You can train yourself to do this with any font.

This is the entire reason we are trying to get away from CAs! What we have works perfectly fine. The only reason anyone wants to get away from it is to prevent state actors from overriding a CA's authority. If you want to just reinvent the wheel with the DNS system, use RFC 6698.

I also dislike gamification, because it usually puts emphasis on arbitrary metrics that are not necessarily related to success.

Having said that, I want to note that the exploiter you're talking about exists in every organization, whether they use a scoring/ranking system or not. Gamification systems are abusable, but hardly any more abusable than any other human management system.
Hello Agent – Say hello to your new home
I've always thought of 'Anyone with the link' as functionally equivalent to 'Anyone.' I will continue to think so after this referrer-header change.

The first time you email that link out, you have technologically released your ability to predict who will view the document (was the e-mail sent over secure channels end-to-end? Did it go to a trusted party who won't reshare it? Did you typo the e-mail address and send it to an undesired party? Did a recipient print it out and leave a printed copy lying around in an accessible conference room? Was the printout shredded after use? Was the shredding functionally irreversible? Is the shredding being done by a third-party that might lose some loads of documents on the way to the shred facility? Did you leave the link in your local machine's pastebuffer then walk away without locking your terminal? Etc., etc., etc.).

Even when the link is functionally unguessable, allowing non-authenticated access is just "security through obscurity."

The entire point of AA is not to focus on the singular behavior of problem drinking, but instead to produce a complete psychic change. The central theme of the "Big Book" is that simply removing the alcohol from an alcoholic is not enough. The alcoholic must instead completely change their way of living and interacting with others. The program is designed to address the root cause of many specific issues the founders saw to be common among alcoholics.

Furthermore, it is highly encouraged to seek outside help (psychiatrists, therapists, etc.) if needed.

Of course. But if a professor has the publications, but not the grants, they may not get promoted.
Using the Sunlight Congress API (https://sunlightlabs.github.io/congress/), I added an interface to search for things like:
- Legislator voting records (both Senators and Representatives)
- Top donor companies, industries, and sectors for legislators
- Bills sponsored by legislators
- Committee memberships for legislators
- Fundraising events directly benefiting legislators
- Words and phrases most frequently used by specific legislators
- Top legislative recipients and PAC recipients of specific companies and organizations
- Recipient breakdown by party for specific companies and organizations
- Lobbying firms and individuals hired by specific companies and organizations
- Bills lobbied for by specific companies and organizations

All the data is open and accessible. I built this mainly to experiment with AngularJS, Bootstrap, and the Sunlight APIs.
Highly doubt it's millions. You have to upload a non-native format into Drive, modify the default security settings, and be linking to another HTTPS site and someone has to follow that link. AND the information in the original document has to be sensitive. The odds of that are very, very low.

It forces co-operation. As someone doing ops, and with years and years of development: ops teams should not do software upgrades without cooperating with developers and re-testing the full stack anyway. The odds of seemingly "safe" OS upgrades breaking applications are often high.

If used properly Docker enforces pushing those upgrades back up the pipeline as far as they should.
Mmm... you should always use 'if x is not None:' imo.

It's very common for libraries to make values evaluate to False, and very easy to get bugs if you just lazily test with 'if x'.

Sqlalchemy springs to mind immediately as one of the common ones where using any() and if x: is a reeeeeallly bad idea; there are plenty of others.

I'm pretty skpetical about modifying your coding behavior based on what libraries you happen to be currently using.

'If x' isn't your friend.
nicely done! I like the easy overview on creating accounts and making transfers.

i am wondering, when everything is free and open-source here, how is the business model?
Interesting product. Is your main focus the analytics and backup or your physical product?
Ignore analysts' estimates about Windows Phone and everything else
Docker provides more flexibility. So while you can have developers managing security updates that is definitely not the only way of handling things.

I see a process where ops are responsible for the base images (base os images, and layers for different software stacks) and can handle security updates at will. Developers can maintain small dockerfiles that just install their application on top of the ops-managed image. ops can then be in charge of building (and re-building) the images and deploying them. Of course, that can all be fine-tuned to your liking.

> 1b) Testing was not skewed by faster cores. CPU performance analysis was based on SPEC CPU 2006 using base rate runtime. SPEC CPU is a multi-core benchmark with metrics that scale linearly on number of CPU cores.

I wasn't suggesting that the testing was skewed by faster cores, but that your criteria favour hardware configurations optimized for fewer, faster cores because of your comparisons between packages of the same core count.

> 1c) The value analysis (based on CPU performance and price) highlights differences in pricing between services. I believe matching CPU cores and deriving value is preferable to comparing compute instances based on price.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this point. It's been my experience that in real-world situations when comparing options, nobody is going to reject higher core counts when at the same price. Generally, a decision maker looks for the lowest price that meets all requirements, or the best option that still fits within budget. They're not going to simply say that since one provider offers a package with this particular core count, that they'll only compare against other providers' options with the exact same core count regardless of price. That's what I mean by the core selections being arbitrary.

For example, an E5 2643v2 6x3.5GHz CPU costs about the same as an E5 2670v2 10x2.5GHz CPU. The 2670v2 offers approximately 25% more aggregate performance, and is clearly the better option except for the unusual cases where single-threaded performance is more important than aggregate performance. However, given how you choose to compare different packages with the same core counts, infrastructure using the 2643v2 would be favoured in your testing. The decision to compare a single 2643v2 core vs a single 2670v2 core, would be completely arbitrary.

> 2) The intent of the post was to provide and compare multiple relevant performance characteristics for these types of workloads: CPU, memory, (non-cached) storage IO, network. Each of these characteristics is analyzed separately using relevant benchmarks and runtime settings. If your workload relies more heavily on cached IO, then more emphasis could be placed on the memory performance analysis.

My point is, the vast majority of web and database servers either rely heavily on cached IO, or should be. SSD's should not be necessary for web servers; you will be able to serve a higher number of requests with the same budget using a larger amount of RAM instead. Likewise, you should fit your entire database into RAM if you can, and just resort to SSD's when you can't. And this isn't limited to I/O, you can reduce the amount of CPU resources required by caching to RAM also. As such, doing a comparison of packages based on the amount of RAM included is going to be more meaningful than doing a comparison based on the number of cores.

My first attempt at using both Angular and RequireJS in the wild was on the same project.

It was enough to turn me off from RequireJS, permanently.

It was enough to intrigue me about Angular, but be wary about using it due to the amount of time needed to twist your brain into thinking in an Angular way.

In comparison to RequireJS, Browserify just works. No complicated config file with shims. Same module style I'm used to from Node. Hell, I can even concat ascii text files into my packaged codebase with brfs.
