I did something similar with that data a few months ago using qGIS, postGIS, and OSM data:

https://packetfire.org/projects/qgis/img/lines.crop.png

https://packetfire.org/projects/qgis/img/points.and.lines.cr...

https://packetfire.org/projects/qgis/img/too.many.points.png

The data is definitely not completely consistent. Trips I took are missing, even though Google plus made auto-awesome stories with pictures taken there, and got the locations correct in those. There are also some points that shouldn't be there. It shows me in Michigan a few separate times (a few hundred data points at various times), to which I've never been. It also puts me at 0 Lat/0 Long a few times, but the reason for this is pretty obvious, just confusing when I first saw it mapped. Also there's quite a bit of "teleporting" from location to location, even though I had my phone with me and was using it when I was traveling between them.

The third image, on the other hand, is seemingly way too much data at one place. It's my workplace at 1 meter resolution. You'd think they could merge it down to a few points a day at the most, but for whatever reason, there are on average 200 points per day there. It just astonishes me how much data there is at some places, yet in others massive chunks seem to be missing.

I started working on a write up of how I did all this, including the bash scripts I wrote to parse, clean and transform the data, but one thing came up after another, and I haven't gotten around to finishing it. If anyone is interested, I'll finish that up and post it this week. I still have to finish up my scripts to clean the data of the "teleporting" and the places I haven't actually been. It was definitely a fun project, and now I have an interactive map of (some of) my past travels and habits. qGIS was interesting to play with, learning bits as I went along trying to get it to display properly and actually render what I wanted to see. Definitely gave me a new level of respect for anyone that does cartography.

It's too raw to just be dumped on the web, and I'd be curious to hear from a few folks doing this as a "day job" about the usefulness if I were to invest more time in it.
That's about the same as I would get on the Gear Live if I skipped charging it for a night. On a normal day, I take it off the charger around 8:00 or 8:30, and I'm usually going to bed around 2:00 with 45-ish percent left.

What? Your comment is pure nonsense. Of course you can prove that striking a match causes it to ignite. There's a long chain of events, each of which trivially physically verifiable, which starts with you moving the match head while applying a given amount of pressure against the material lining the matchbox, which then, due to friction, flakes off (both head and lining), the two react together to produce a spark and a flame starts. You can cut the chain down to micro-events and you'll find each one to be consistently verifiable.

Or do an experiment - grab a mug and lift it. I claim that your arm motion while your hand had grabbed the mug caused it to ascend. We can again examine the basic physical events, cutting them as fine as you'd like, and we'll see that it really was you with your arm, who caused the mug to ascend.

This is a cause-and-effect link -- when you can show how event A lead to event B via a chain of events, each of which directly causes the next. At the least you need to show that there is a sensible progression from the cause to the effect, in order to claim a causation.

Correlation on the other hand is a description of past observations. You can observe that each time it snows people increase their energy expenditure in order to heat their homes. Does the increase in heating cause the snow? That doesn't seem likely, knowing how heating works. It could be that increased energy demands leads to more coal being burned, leading to larger clouds being formed and lowering the outside temperature. However, even though increased coal burning does lead to such effects, they're pretty small from just increased heating, so we can discount this hypothesis. On the other hand, you can show that cold weather causes snow. Water that falls in cold air crystallises and becomes snow. So there is a definite causative relationship between cold weather and snow. Could there also be a causative relationship between cold weather and heating? Well, assuming that people wish to live at a constant surrounding air temperature of about 20-30 degrees, that seems very likely. There are of course individuals who don't fit that profile, but they are very few (I can't actually provide a study which supports that claim, but just assume it for the purposes of this demonstration). In the end, we can say that while snow and heating are correlated, heating does not cause snow. They simply have a common cause - cold weather.

And finally, if you keep your home at a constant temperature, the setting on your heater does not correlate with the temperature inside your home, because the temperature is constant, while you have to change the setting up and down to counteract the more or less cold weather outside. It does correlate perfectly with the outside temperature, but I'll leave proving that putting your heater on high doesn't make the temperature outside drop by 10 degrees as an exercise.
Correlation is due to one of the 3 C's, coincidence, confounding, or causality. I just like the 3 C's.

You may find John Gray interesting. His view is very roughly that secular humanism and the ideals of the enlightenment, especially the idea that moral and intellectual progress should correlate, are extensions rather than disownments of religious dogma.

Here's a taste of his kind of take on things - http://www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2009/12/past-decade-world-...

I would strongly recommend his book Straw Dogs, though it is very polemic in style.
Islamic world was heavily based on trade. As such, it never sealed itself from customers.

My take is - their world was destroyed by railroads, mass production, steam ships. Their skill set at hauling wares using camels and bazaars was no longer in demand, and trade routes went elsewhere.
It is really cool to see how history repeats itself in such a predictable fashion. According to the International Watch Magazine, at first wristwatches were seen as a passing fad, with some men even saying that "they would sooner wear a skirt than a wristwatch" [1].

Of course, on the beginning of the miniaturization process, wristwatches were not as good as pocket watches. But they are less clumsy, easier to access, keeps both of your hands free. Most importantly, they are worn visibly all the time, a pretty neat characteristic for a fashion item. Wouldn't it be better if that iPhone 6 you are planning to buy were kept in constant display for the eternal envy and adoration of your peers, instead of hidden in your pocket 80% of the time?

It is hard to try to predict the future. Instead, I like to talk about scenarios. And I cannot discard a scenario where a smartwatch is your primary "identification" device and smartphones, tablets and laptops are only big screens with greater computing power, to be accessed and unlocked through your smartwatch. Is that too far-fetched?

I cannot agree with your attribution of Islam turn to itself to Crusades.

I think that it is an inherent property of Islam. The only science allowed is one that prove existence of Allah. As most sciences are not concerned with existence of Allah, they gradually get shut down and only theology remains.
I agree as well. This is one of those correlation != causation cases.

It is a sad state of affairs that kids these days expect everything for free on IT, whereas in other professions one needs to pay for its tools.

Maybe it is showing my grey beard age, but I have bought quite a lot of software in my life, books(!) and even pay donations to open source projects.

As someone that lives from software development, I know how much it costs to transform my hours into something I can give in the supermarket and not all types of FOSS can be adapted to consulting.

Every time someone complains to me about software prices, I make them go through how would they manage to get enough money pay their current salaries. Then the prices don't seem that expensive any longer.
The guy was not a good developer and they caught him because of it. It really does appear to be that simple. No parallel reconstruction needed when you're dumping server vars to the public.
You are going good as of now. Try that Ice cream plate technique once again.
I doubt this is accurate. Companies do sometimes take a while to get a product to market, but if so, they don't typically do it with parts that they bought all in a batch four years ago. The specs evolve with the design requirements.

For another thing, Motorola sold another smartwatch in 2011 using what appears to be the exact same CPU. Which means one group inside the company would have to have built a watch in less than a year, while another group working on a watch in the same company took at least four times as long.

It's much more likely that they just had a big pile of CPUs left lying around a warehouse that they never used because the Motoactv was a commercial flop.
WeChat works perfectly fine from the EU as well. I'm using it everyday to chat with my inlaws because that's the network they are on.

I suppose nothing does, except for the resources required to do so (i.e., you need to run your script in a browser, which means lots more overhead and resources).
Yes, this is a real problem, tokens can get very large if you put too much information.

HTTP does not define any limit for headers, but most of the Web Servers have a default limit, Apache 8kb, IIS 16kb, nginx 4kb (see this question on SO [1]). If your JWT exceeds these limits you will get a "413 Entity Too Large".

It gets only worse if you need to use a query string instead of a header because the limits are lower and IE has a limit too [2].

Solution: carefully design your JWT, what information you will put on there. You usually don't need everything, store only the things you will use on every request, like the user id, name, email, roles are good candidates. Do not try to put the entire Facebook or Linkedin profile on a JWT.

Beside the limits, it will make the request bigger to transport and maybe even slower to verify.

That's the thing with those kind of simulators (or, actually, with reality), your reference has no relation to the center of mass of the system.

Of course, if you "were there" the reference would be the center of mass, like the reference of the solar system is "The Sun" (or a point inside it)
Today I discovered ffs(3) is part of glibc. It's a family member of the GCC extensions __builtin_clz(), _ctz(), and _ffs(), for finding the first set bit in a word (dword, qword, multiple widths exist). See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find_first_set

These functions are useful because they can be mapped to a single instruction, BSF on x86.

I think what you see there is not necessarily an indication of the simulation happening in 3-d space[1]. It is however evidence of [precession](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession), which should not happen in a 2-body problem. If no other heavy body was close to the ones shown in your screenshot, this should actually not happen. Since the simulation does, however, only have a finite precision, this could very well be an artifact of the simulation (happens often if you have near-collisions, since the change of velocity there happens rapidly and is hard to describe correctly with a fixed-length time step).

[1] In fact if all initial positions and velocities lie in the same 2d plane, all trajectories would also lie in this plane. Since the interface only allows one to set such initial conditions, I am fairly confident that the simulation is 2d only.
Pretty much all the watches are single-core. Most of them are using a Snapdragon 400 (quad-core) but with all but one of the cores disabled.

Fragmentation is unlikely - they'll be completely different heaps, and on 64-bit probably far apart. Marshalling costs only in so far as you work with safe code. C++/CLI is working at a slightly different level.

> GitHub ran into the same problem when they started supporting GitHub pages.

I think this passage is the main reason for the GitHub switch: «Because Pages sites may include custom JavaScript and were hosted on github.com subdomains, it was possible to write (but not read) github.com domain cookies»

This is well know cookie security problem: if you have live at x.example.co.uk you can set cookies for example.co.uk and co.uk itself. This is usually evident in organizations like universities that let their departments have their own subdomains run by different software. Usually the root domain contains dozens of unrelated cookies.

Mozilla is addressing this with the public suffix list [1], but I think a more solid solution is needed.

The scary part of this isn't that they were denied access. It's that they were denied with no opportunity for appeal.

As an entrepreneur this is probably one of the number 1 nightmare scenarios: one day you're in business, the next day you're not.

We always say never build a business off an ecosystem you don't control but the fact is there are many, many businesses that do just fine from it - and on the flip side, even non-ecosystem businesses are fragile in other ways (such as Uber being regulated into illegality in certain parts of the US and Asia).

That's just business! Somewhere, someone is just waiting to fuck you over :) the challenge is to make your fortune or build up your defenses before they do!

I once tried to quickly hack together some bash using "Copy as curl" in firebug to do something similar and got this shameful monstrosity after a minute or two of fighting with awk:

for i in {10..14};do for j in 1 7; do date -d "20$i-0$j-01T00:11:20.000Z" "+%s000";date -d "20$i-0$j-01T00:11:20.000Z" "+%s000"|tr "\n" " "; done;done|sed '1d;$d'|awk '{system("curl \047https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/kml?startTime=" $1 "&endTime=" $2 "\047 -H \047Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8\047 -H \047Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\047 -H \047Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5\047 -H \047Connection: keep-alive\047 -H \047Cookie:cookie-stuff\047 -H \047Host: maps.google.com\047 -H \047User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0\047 -o " $1 ".kml")}'

(And the above doesn't look quite as bad as what I was doing without the actual cookie data there, so that's saying something.)

At which point I took a few minutes to think deeply about life and what possessed me to write such an obscenity, and decided to use Takeout to get the data instead.

Edit: That's not to say it didn't work, it gave me all the data. It was just a bad way to do it.

My price comparison tool Shoptimate.com got hit a few months back. It's not Amazon only so I can keep the lights on but it sucks for Pricenoia.

Amazon has been changing the rules lately. They're not allowing installable software anymore and only allowing mobile apps that are not focused on shopping. They also refuse websites optimized for mobile. This is after they excluded affiliates over the state tax issues in the US.

Wikipedia says that Amazon gets 40% of their revenue from affiliates. They're probably dominant enough that they don't need to rely on affiliates as much as they used to.
It's a noble effort, but malicious actors will always be more imaginative than you. Think about Unicode characters - there are all sorts of glyphs that look the same as, say, the 'c' in 'accounts' when presented in a user's address bar.

I use PyCharm quite a bit, and I find it great. To me though slowness is a big issue. I often switch back and forth to vim, and occasionally find the slowness of pycharm quite jarring. Had I not been using vim, perhaps I would not have noticed, but it does have quite an impact at first.

Their autocomplete is second to none, however. And once that has parsed the codebase it is lightning fast. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

Smart glasses might be better for some people, but the issue is that no one likes wearing glasses. We developed plastic things you physically press onto your eyeball with your finger because people both (a) need to see, and (b) hate wearing glasses.

Lots of people like wearing a watch. It combines a small bit of practical benefit with the appeal of jewelry/fashion, and it doesn't have the downsides of glasses like pinched noses and ears or the mild social drawbacks (loads of people, my girlfriend for one, hate the way they look in their glasses).

People do wear sunglasses for fashion, but most people would find it uncomfortable and awkward to wear them all the time, indoors and out. Maybe that changes in the future, but right now, I'd bet loads of money on watches over glasses if the contest is between the two.
> It's that they were denied with no opportunity for appeal.

And even if there was an appeal process it would still be unilaterally decided by Amazon.

It's the same feeling I get from Google whenever something goes down.
Hard to say, it's been a lot of development all the way through.

Without the work of Ritchie and Thompson and Joy, et al, all Boomers, Unix wouldn't have developed as it had. Dennis Ritche was born in 1941. Richard Stallman (1953) brought about GNU and the Free Software revolution, Larry Wall (1954) Perl. The Internet (and Arpanet before it) were both built by Boomers.

Linus Torvalds (1969, Gen X), Linux, Brian Behlendorf (1973, Gen X) Apache. Those two were probably responsible for more of the Linux revolution than anyone else.

Google was created by Gen Xers (Page and Brin, 1973). Yes, they were creating new and useful stuff, but on a base created mostly by Boomers.
