About a year and a half ago I bought a DSLR camera [0] in order to A) get started with "serious" photography, and B) give me a good excuse to visit cool places places I hadn't been before. I'm still not great at taking photos but my favorite unexpected benefit of buying a camera has been looking at things in a totally new way. Now, when I walk around, I find myself noticing interesting compositions and scenes in the world around me. This app looks like a great way to improve my composition skills and explore my surroundings! I only wish it existed on Android.

[0] you don't need to do this by the way – most phone's cameras are now good enough to take great shots, and are much more convenient to carry around than a big clunky DSLR. Here's a great gallery of photos taken only with iPhones: http://www.ippawards.com/?project=2014-winners
You expressed my point much more eloquently than I could. Always watch people actually do. Not only what they say.

This is an impact of the default Unicode normalization, which is set to NFKC. This normalization is lossy for things like the ordinal indicator and trademark symbol; if you'd like to keep the ordinal indicator unchanged, use NFC normalization:

>>> print ftfy.fix_text(u'ordinal indicator º to o in addresses.')
ordinal indicator o to o in addresses.

>>> print ftfy.fix_text(u'ordinal indicator º to o in addresses.',normalization='NFC')
ordinal indicator º to o in addresses.
The iOS version is essentially just a static website inside of a webview. Since we only use paths to render the shapes, Hextris doesn't require too much space.
We thought about adding that, but we weren't sure where we'd put it - any ideas?
I think the "but it was never implemented correctly" socialists always seem to forget the strength of a state required to simply "implement" socialism, and then enforce it.

Failing said state, it would require a very sizeable majority of the whole mass of people to simply switch over all at once, and again, somehow defend that new order from warlords and parasites.
Oops, my bad :)

I didn't check the map properly and I am an idiot.
That'd be great! We were thinking of doing that for the homepage, but didn't find the time. I'd happily merge it in if someone were to make an AI for Hextris.
I'm not up to date on the latest, but my understanding of the state of the art seems similar to yours.
DeLorean.js, Flux Architecture Framework 0.3.0 is released
After reading the reviews linked below, I take back any positive prediction for this thing. Looks like Leica missed an opportunity to make a camera that's competitive with other current models in respect to usability and speed. C'est la vie.
I don't think the arguments from either side are too simple. People who recieve free college are in favor. People who must pay the bill are not in favor.
Are you familiar with the collective action problem?

The inconvenience of filtering the services you use by the public statements of their provider companies makes it almost wholly unreasonable to expect market forces to fix moral failings in companies, unless they're egregious enough to get play in the mass media - which has its own problems of mob activism.

Users don't have an effective choice. This isn't something markets can easily fix.

That's a valid criticism - I don't know how it could be fixed.

Maybe more colors could be added? Game balance has been really tricky with this game, as changes play out very differently on mobile devices and "real computers."
I don't really expect these projects to get used widely. They serve more as inspiration to show that client-side encryption doesn't have to be cumbersome for the casual user.

It would be great if webapp developers started baking client-side encryption into their apps.

Pretty much what I got from the first paragraph. Starts with the conclusion, rather than a question. I didn't feel the need to read much further.
I've never hunted, nor hunted with dogs.

I am not a hunter. My experience of hunting consists of reading Tolstoy and a rather unfortunate encounter I had with a squirrel when I was 10.

But as I understand it, there's a sound dogs make when they've picked up a scent and are after game. It excites the rest of the hunting party. The chase begins!

I get this feeling in the tech community when we're talking DevOps, XM, and anti-fragile software. I can see it in this paper. We're nowhere near where we're going to end up, but the principles are in place and the community is justw sorting through them to get to the destination. There's some really cool stuff out there, and the next decade or so is going to be a blast.

Btw the speed seems to depend on the machine you play it on. On my wife's close to 10 year old laptop it's way slower than on mine. But the rotation is still fast enough, so scores are higher. She's at 20000 now and the speed is roughly similar to what I get at 1000 points. Old hardware FTW.
The Economics of Police Militarism
I love things like this. Sad to say I doubt the future will be quite so open.
I think programmers should remind themselves how fortunate they are, to have skills that are both enjoyable and in demand.

It's an entirely different economy out there, for most people. Average citizens would love to have recruiters as a
"problem".

I think the sharing economy is a net benefit – I doubt it's preventing the creation of stable jobs. But we would do well to remember that we live in an economic bubble, a tiny pocket of prosperity amidst much harder time.

An interesting development since this post was made is the announcement of Kubernetes (k8s) from Google[1]. In k8s you define a collection of services via a set of labels, such as env=production,service=redis and then on localhost your application gets a environment variable to a "service proxy" port that load balances to these services within your k8s cluster.

This is all still controlled through etcd and right now only does round-robin load balancing but there are plans to do other strategies like master elected, least loaded, etc. You can read more about this concept over on the docs[2].

The nice thing about this whole model is that the application isn't aware or involved in things about master-election and is only configured once at startup to talk to a local port.

Is that really necessary? Web browsers do no statistically analysis, and yet users seem to have no problem with them? Okay, certainly they have menus which allow you to override them, but they are relatively infrequently used. The most common issue with web scrapers that I've seen is they don't detect the character encoding the same way as web browsers do — which is what web authors expect.

http://www.whatwg.org/C#determining-the-character-encoding is what the spec defines, and though the eventual fallback is implementation-defined (Firefox, for example, combines locale-specific defaults with TLD-based defaults).
Ha, my all time high was ~800,000.

It's great. I wish there was a color blind friendly version though!
> The hypothesis that I think should be tested is whether there is correlation between being a child prodigy in a technical field ... and getting to read early.

It would be cool if all children could be helped to find the thing they are good at and love and let them become the best they can in that field through positive reinforcement and minimum coercion.

> It makes sense theoretically -- if you learn to read by age 8, is there enough time for you to grasp all of high school math and computer science by age 14, like Manjul Bhargava?

I think the most important thing what you can extract from the case of the Field's medalist is that he seems to enjoy what he does.

Usually when lots of parents are really ambituous about their childrens futures they force their children to rote-learn lots of mundane knowledge or repeat tiring exercises... such an approach leads most of the time to lots of sad adults with average achievements. I would much prefer lots of content and happy adults with average achievements.

The prodigies will happen, but it would be really nasty to force all children to try to be prodigies.

The current policy of compensation-prohibition, derived from fuzzy sloganeering like "health is a universal human right" [your pre-edit wording], is resulting in thousands of unnecessary deaths a year.

And until you get 100% of what you want – perfectly equal health care for everybody? – are we just supposed to see those deaths as a price worth paying? When your ideal is finally implemented, be it next year, or maybe in a decade, or maybe a century from now, will those who died be happy to know they were noble martyrs for a good cause, a necessary demonstration of suffering to help bring the laggards around?
If someone working at a hospital, doing psychiatry for a living and known for reading tons of research papers is a "non-expert" then I don't know who to read anymore. By this standard you shouldn't listen to anyone here about anything related to programming or startups.
When it comes to art, in particular, like the theatre productions in the study, why wouldn't the crowd know what is likely to be successful? The crowd, afterall, is the potential audience, and they know what they are willing to pay for. Crowd funding is a voting game and the audience are the voters.
Can we go back to using the word "robust"?

Neologisms and jargon are anti-good.
The author works in a hospital, does psychiatry for a living and is known around the Internet for reading tons of research papers, so I'm personally willing to give him benefit of doubt here, but in essence you're right, he didn't provide much support references for that medicine, regardless of whether he has or has not read any.
I love it. The masses are gradually being brain-deaded. Perfect timing.
Anti-fragile and robust are two different concepts as defined by Nassim Taleb. Anti-fragile software is exposed to low level stress, and evolves to survive it. Robust software is a static snapshot.

FTA: "One theme we’ve hit again and again is, when possible, use things that have already been invented. Use off-the-shelf products, not custom software. There are things that work in the private sector; there’s no reason we can’t use these in government, too."

Also: "We’re encouraging open-source software and access to government data everywhere it is possible to do it. In the campaign, we combined a lot of different data to create successful outcomes — open access to data is our best friend. The government has a ton of data. Nonprofits need to see it; the states need to see it."

However, if I was suffering anxiety, or any other disorder, to the point where I wanted to take medication, I would see a doctor. I would not trust myself to diagnose myself, let alone prescribe a course of treatment.
Having recruiters as a problem is typically restricted to programmers who actually have advanced and/or highly specialized skills, or who have made themselves a public image.

Hexels – a new art tool
MediaCrush is indeed nice. I didn't know about it. Imgur can be painstakingly slow. A fast and right to the point image uploading service is quite refreshing.

I have a few questions.

1. Do you have accounts to store pics?

2. It would be nice if after uploading pictures the page would show all possible links like embed and share.

3. Do you plan to implement something like delete in 30 days?

Thanks.

I've had a similar experience with anti-anxiety medications. While they (benzos in particular) do alleviate the 'synergistic cycle of worry/negative thought' I associate with anxiety, that isn't necessarily beneficial in the long-term. At times I feel like low levels of anxiety are almost behaviorally indistinguishable from 'initiative to do un-preferred stuff I should be doing'. If anxiety is triggered by (or a barrier to) not accomplishing things you should, or feel you should, taking such medications could be counter-productive.

But a medication that disrupts the anxious cycles of thought while at the same time stimulating the motivation/energy to complete tasks... well, that sounds almost like magic to me, especially if it doesn't involve the retrograde amnesia associated with benzos like alprazolam, lorazepam, etc.
Imgur is of little consequence. When it becomes too annoying to use it will no doubt be replaced.

So is that load balancer on localhost next to etcd or is it somewhere in the cluster?
You'd have to refuse to create computational devices of all sorts. It is the case of the Great Web of Causality, that things are heavily interconnected with each other. Everything you do inflicts consequences on everything else within your light cone, and back-tracing effects to what caused them is only the matter of enough data and computing power.

To put it in a less grand/mythological way: they can always find another way to get the data they need. It's only a matter of computing power and having a little nut of imagination in one's head. Think of all the side-channel attacks talked about recently - reading speech data from laser, reading speech data from high-speed video, reading crypto keys from power consumption patterns, reading crypto keys from voltage variations on Ethernet cable, reading data from screen reflections off the wall, reading data from RF emissions of CRT displays, reading keypresses from phone accelerometer, reading speech from phone accelerometer, etc. etd.

There's always a way.
Hey, excellent game! I'm sure I'll waste a lot of time on this, haha.

One feature that might be cool to have would be to make the gray background hexagon one block larger if you get four or five blocks in a row. That way, you'll be able to keep your ahead above water a little better when things really start to speed up. It would add another level of strategy and planning to the game.

Keep up the great work!

1. No, but you can use the default localStorage mechanism. We've been slowly working on accounts for a while now, but it's not a priority.

2. Click "share" on the view page

3. No, but an external service could hook into MediaCrush to provide that
Cool game, I got to 11079 points.

A few comments:

I think a key to drop faster would be a nice addition.
The speed progression could be tweaked a bit. It's a bit boring until it gets faster, and it takes a while.

Yea and few of those services that "disrupted" Craigslist are well known. The population at large knows maybe 3 of them.

Because if you have to market and brand each comprehensible English description such as recipes, dating, selling used junk with some weird brand name like Cucumbertron, NotOkCupid or whatever, it's an uphill battle. The market can only accept a few new big brands a year.

When a normal person (as a opposed to a computer obsessed geek) wants to do stuff on a computer, they want to do it without learning a million little brands that do narrow little tasks, take time to find, learn a UI, figure out if they work right.

They want to type in "dating", click on some profiles and schedule dates.

Whatever companies compete to handle this service are under the hood. To the user "it just works." Without that niche services face a lottery in an over-saturated market of niche services. That's really why big brands exist in the digital realm and take massive effort or long periods of time to dethrone.

Craigslist and YouTube work because they provide a consistent, predictable way to access a multitude of services and video topics. That's something the "web" or computers in general should handle instead of companies. That's what really needs to be disrupted.

There are liberals in the government today, but they are a minority and wield very little power.

And a contemporary analysis of Congress:

The extreme skewing towards conservatism is most evident at the extreme ends of the spectrum in the House: there are only 22 strong liberals vs 74 strong conservatives. There are two Congressmen with perfect 100 conservative scores and not a single one with a perfect liberal score.
It was a challenge to come up with a good example for the section without utilizing too much of a language that is unfamiliar to most of the readers.

This is a full-throated and compelling defense of double-blinded, randomized, controlled trials even - and especially - in resource-constrained situations with a terrible disease like Ebola.

In my understanding, robust systems know how to deal with failures, while anti-fragile gain energy with failures.
A closely related thing:

If you're designing a programming language implementation, explicitly randomizing implementation-defined operations makes a whole lot of sense. It trades dev time for debug time, and in general fixing bugs during initial development is a whole lot easier than fixing them after-the-fact.

For example, a robust hashmap might randomize the order of iteration over elements 1/2 the time, or a robust priority queue might randomize the relative order of elements with the same priority. Or even randomly changing the order of evaluating function arguments. Or a function with a callback that is defined to potentially be called multiple times (distributed systems, etc) might explicitly call the callback a random number of times.

It might make more sense to only do some of these on debug builds.
Literate programming requires that there is freedom in ordering content in the literate file. Otherwise, you are restricted to the execution order of the computer. The intent of literate programming is to circumvent that requisite. Otherwise the tool is just a pretty printer of sorts.
