How is Can we have a publication named "The Forgotten Male Programmers Who Created Modern Tech" now?" harassment?

Seems like providing personal information of an individual who thought they were anonymous, and merely expressed an opinion, is more like harassment.
In no way -- apples vs. oranges. Kafka is queue, Storm is processing engine. A better question how it's compared to other processing engines like Spark Streaming, Samza, etc. But just Google it :)
Looks like we overloaded the site...
Another way to approach this problem is to use travis-ci. Travis already comes with a full stack of ruby/go/node/python working that you can take advantage of to do any arbitrary commands on `git push`.

Just set the language to ruby, change your test command to a script that performs `jekyll build && rsync`, then encrypt any credentials using travis encryption keys (http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/encryption-keys/).

Here's one article that takes advantage of this exact setup to automatically deploy to a gh-pages repo: https://medium.com/@nthgergo/publishing-gh-pages-with-travis...

Doing it for a living certainly does take some of the fun out of it, and overworking in particular is both common and unhealthy.

That said, I don't think the presence of hackathons (or other such "scene" events) should be taken as evidence of the existence of a hacking community (or lack thereof).

Part of the point the author makes is that, unlike in the West, hacking/making is not a big deal. It's not a subculture or a statement, it simply is. One of the things I really despise about hackathons here is how much time they spend wallowing in their own cultural statement. Sponsored by Monster Energy? Check. Important investors as judges? Check. Nerf guns? Yep. Quadcopters flying everywhere? Yeeeep. In the end it feels like 50% creating stuff and 50% reinforcing your place in the Subculture.

In the same way the video game subculture is 50% enjoying video games, and 50% self-referential memes about its own subculture-ness.

When I first got started in programming it was on obscure forums on the Internet. I didn't participate in any "scene" events, I just wrote code, and collaborated with others online who wrote code. We did it for its own sake, not to win competitions or impress judges or hobnob with industry luminaries. We just did.

I'd venture that most of the hacking going on in the world (in the West or the East) is going on in backyards - both virtual and real. It's hard to gauge how much is going on precisely because they're just hacking and making, not preening their feathers ostentatiously and inventing capital-letter names for their movement.

Cuba got a subsidy of about 25% of GDP from the USSR. [1]

It's also worth noting that Cuba's per capita GDP in the late 1950s was about the same as Italy of Spain.

Is there any doubt that "hundreds of thousands will die" of ebola in the next year? The reports I've seen are a bit more pessimistic.
>Think about that for a moment. This is patently absurd. It's like trying to get several feet of air by crouching down and hitting the ground with a hammer. The collision is too elastic. //

It's not at all like hitting the ground with a hammer [but hammers will bounce on concrete FWIW and even flip end over]. It's more akin to a see-saw that isn't fixed down. If the force at the back of the board is sufficient to overcome the weight of the board pulling it down at the front then the board will rotate lifting the front. Once the back of the board hits the floor there is a new pivot point, the rear tip of the board (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=339k...). Now the board is rotating - in the clip - anticlockwise. But the front foot prevents this rotation and provides a further pivot.

You can do this experiment to demonstrate that a pivoted plank can jump. Take a ruler, place it on top of a rounded pen - this setup mimicking the rear wheel of a skateboard. Hit the ruler down at the short end and you'll see it flip up (it might take some practice!). Indeed the whole ruler, if it's short enough, might flip and continue rotating such that the long end goes up and over the short end - but this is because you don't have a front foot pushing that part down. Replacing the foot with your hand - as a barrier above the ruler preventing this continued rotation - leads to the ollie being imitated. The ruler jumps up with nothing other than a swift hit on the short end furthest from the pivot.

> The USSR conquered and imposed brutal slavery on every eastern european nation.

Slavery, like US had up until the mid 1800 and with the following oppression and segregation laws?

Or the country that based itself on ethnic cleansing and genocide of countless American Indians.

> The USA did not conquer any of the western european nations

No but it raped all the South American states and some East Asian states (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia).

Also Middle East. Started Wars.

> We didn't even conquer Cuba.

Sure tried. And send saboteurs to plant IEDs, blow up bridges, plants. Destroy machinery. Can you say "War Of Terror" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Project)

> If we had the military power, why wouldn't we?

Ok USSR didn't conquer Australia. They had the military power. Why didn't they. Probably didn't want to. And didn't care about.
GoPro is doubling down on what it does best
It was a crisp fall Saturday when I first learned about the basement full of computers.

The previous night my dad's boss hosted a party at his house that my parents had attended. My dad was in the IS department of a medium-sized insurance company, and his department was full of chess players, assembly language programmers, ham radio operators, and computer tinkerers. My dad's boss was all of those rolled into one. "You would love it!" my mom told me, "his basement is full of computers!" My imagination ran wild.

Within a week or two my dad's boss invited us over. We pulled up to his house and I gazed up at a 50-foot tower with a beam antenna next to his garage. As I walked into the basement, I could hear strange sounds of beeping, static, and garbled voice. My first sight was of three walls covered with a custom-built set of cabinets that contained a dizzying array of electronic equipment. I would later learn that it was full of Heathkit radios and computers. I was awe-struck.

Later that fall my dad announced, "we're getting a computer." We proceeded to spend several evenings and weekends at my dad's boss' house where they built our family's Heathkit H-89 computer. As they soldered, I played on the Heathkit pinball machine. Our H-89, as I recall, had 16K of RAM and a 4 MHz Z-80 CPU. My first program was about twenty print statements that displayed a crude outline of a football helmet using asterisks.

That winter I studied for and received my amateur radio novice, and later, my general class license, and my dad's boss administered the novice test. I remember him sending morse code at 6 or 7 WPM and excitedly decoding it and reading it back to him. My first radio was a Heathkit purchased for $80 at a ham 'flea market'. I went on to build a Heathkit VTVM (vacuum tube voltmeter), a code practice oscillator, and a few other kits. There were several Christmas nights spent soldering into the wee hours of the morning.

Without my dad, his boss, and Heathkit, it's unlikely I'd be doing what I do today. Thanks for the memories, Heathkit.

This. Focus on your launch.

Launch and then talk. Depending on how big the company is, it'll take them most likely at least 3 months to get a deal done.
It lets you write applications for Android, iOS, BlackBerry 10, OS X, Linux, Windows, OpenBSD, NetBSD and OpenWrt in Scheme.
Even if that's the case, how do you convince the network that the shares need to be invalidated? How do you do that in a way that can't be faked?

That sounds a lot like another set of private keys to me. We already know those are vulnerable to being stolen.
There are a lot of ways to abuse information asymmetry in stock markets. Decentralizing and removing oversight makes things more readily abused by creating more forms of information asymmetry.

Yup, although not lately. DabbleDB was (mostly) implemented in Smalltalk, until it was acquired by Twitter.

I would really like to see a version of the Smalltalk VM that runs directly on Xen. That way you could bundle a Smalltalk image with the VM as an AMI, and launch it as an EC2 instance. Smalltalk has long suffered for not integrating well with the "native" operating system on desktop machines, because deep down it really wants to be the OS for a Xerox Alto. Running in the cloud makes utter sense for Smalltalk.
I'm a full time Android developer. I have to wonder, what % of the slip is Android overall and what % is Samsung specifically. I have to say I'm not pleased with the quality of the latest Samsung devices. Motorola, LG, and HTC all seem to be making higher quality phones.
One thing I love about reading old papers/essays/articles is that it makes it so clear the particular things we take for granted now. It is remarkably hard to step back and get that objective point of view about the current state of technology with no help from the past.

> They will remember that such-and-such a person did some possibly relevant work on a topic of interest back in 1947, or at any rate shortly after World War II, and they will have an idea in what journals it might have been published.

For all that the title evokes visions of cyborgs, Licklider here is really just asking for a search engine and the ability to plot some points on a graph, which is beautiful because these are things I do everyday, and they are indeed so useful and commonplace that I take them for granted, but even I couldn't always do these things in my lifetime.

I also found the following incredible as a train of thought:

This is the best answer so far. Tell them, politely, to get lost and take it as a sign you are on the right track. It is time to damn the torpedoes, full-steam ahead. They are either ahead of you or behind you and that is what they are trying to find out. If they are ahead and you have no unique tech then you are toast anyway. If they are behind they are weighing buying you to jump the line for Y dollars or investing X dollars to catch up. Why help them make that calculation? Make them sweat.

If you have any confidence in what you are doing then stick with it and don't be distracted by BigCo.
Not a fair comparison. Programming isn't a pure competition. If you do better in programming, this does not imply that every other programmer in the world must be doing worse. In the market, the more money you make, the less everyone else can make. Of course, it's possible for all the traders to make money as long as the total market continues to grow... that's a pyramid scheme in my book....

I'm not agreeing with the parent post, because I think probability dictates that some trader will beat the market consistently (for a while). But that doesn't necessarily demonstrate "skill".
1) That is a very loose definition of ownership. For instance, I can threaten my next door neighbor to take over his deed. That doesn't make me the owner of the land. Ownership of anything is a social construct, without which the greatest warlord wins.

2) Even given the social construct of ownership, the enforcer of the social construct is not the "owner". If I pay a private security firm to guard my property, most people don't assume I've ceded ownership to them.

3) Even given those narrow definitions, the radio spectrum is much more nuanced than physical property. Radio waves literally travel around the world. I as a property owner can enact physical boundaries that have a fair chance of preventing trespass and providing an uninformed arbitrator to make a decent decision. When it comes to radio frequency, even the act of trespass is a highly technical and subjective topic.

I'll respect your wishes by not getting into the history of the term "burger" (but if you wish to delve, you'll find it plenty creepy enough on its own, were you to take it literally). Point is, we tend to seek efficient language for terms we use frequently.

You might, once in a while, go to a good restaurant and order a meal in which you specify in excruciating detail what you wish to be served and how you wish it prepared. But most of us, most of the time, are selecting common ingredients and common preparations from a very limited set of options. Being excessively detailed in this context is just a waste of time.

Most places that serve burgers offer one option: beef. Ground-up cow or steer. You don't even get to choose the cut - the flesh is likely a mix of cuts, blended to a consistent flavor profile and fat content, pre-measured and machine-formed to ensure consistent results and fast preparation. You might, if you go upscale a bit, have the option of a burger made from turkey or buffalo, or perhaps even one that doesn't contain meat at all; you'll indicate your desire for these with a convenient prefix: "turkey burger", "buffalo burger", "walnut burger", etc. If folks at some point developed a taste for gamey Coloradoan, you might briefly have the option of ordering a "shog9 burger"...

...all of these would be shorthand for "ground-up, seasoned patties of [prefix], served on a bun".

At some point, you learned this. Hopefully, you learned it young, from your parents or caregivers, who taught you where the meat came from, how it was prepared, showed you the cost to all involved in transforming a beast of the field into a meal... Hopefully you learned before you'd built up too many false assumptions about what food is.

Many, sad to say, do not - there is a troubling breakdown in our culture that distances folks' notions of sustenance from the knowledge of the cycles and processes that are prerequisites to sustain life - whether the meal consumed is a burger or a cabbage.

And that is truly disgusting.
But at this point the other Android manufactures (at least that have a good presence in the US) aren't making any money off Android phones, only Samsung was.

If Samsung's profits are falling as an Android manufacturer where does that leave users? It's not like Samsung was selling below cost. Without them the others would have a higher market share but would they actually become profitable?

Or is there just a glut of Android devices on the market to the point that no one would have an easy time making a profit in the current environment? Is this just a sign of a shake-up?
TLDR: We use puppet.

It's a good method for making change, but for doing subtraction in general it is (in my opinion) not so great, the reason being that you have to keep track of more figures in your short term memory, when compared to left-to-right.

To do subtraction by counting up you need to remember: the minuend, how far you've already counted up, and the number you've already counted up to. So, three figures. Subtraction left-to-right (or right-to-left) only requires you remember two numbers: what remains of the minuend, and what remains of the subtrahend. It's pretty easy even for primary school kids once they practice a bit.

Of course, when you're making change, you don't actually care how far you've counted up, because you're not really after the difference exactly, you're only trying to arrive at the correct number of coins and bills. So you can forget that part, or rather you can leave it to the coins in your hand to remember for you, and now you're back to two numbers. But I'd bet that if I asked you to tell me on the spot what the difference was without looking at the change in your hand you'd struggle to tell me.

Making change by subtraction left-to-right is cumbersome because, while you still only need to remember two numbers, after you calculate the difference in your head you must now count out the change, whereas with counting up you're already done.

Different tools for different purposes. I agree with Asimov.
I had an electronics bench when I was 13, started out with a Heathkit power supply, then an early digital voltmeter (since I couldn't read resistor codes very well, being colorblind). My dad built a tube-based mono amplifier and radio. A few years later I built a kit computer (a very nice Digital Group Z-80 system).

I still build kits and am getting back into tinkering with electronics after 35+ years of software hacking. Hardware keeps you honest about your abilities, and the smoke keeps you humble about your mistakes. :-)
Yeah the author mentions that it was probably a later version of the same engine:
The VERS identifier clearly starts a "version" section, which contains the following four bytes: 0x00, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00. My guess is that this is version 2.0 of the file format, as Yoda Stories was actually the successor to an Indiana Jones game that appears to use the same engine,

Well, no, intention is not relevant in the sense that these people are still trespassing. Ok though, you have a point; in some extremely rare circumstances it may make a difference. Of course, as you said, none of these apply here, so what's your point?
The "harassment" i.e. blog comments is not being trivialized. It's pre-trivial.

Frankly, I've never had good naan in Singapore or even India (Bangalore, Delhi), but I haven't explored those places as much as Japan. I guess it depends on what you are looking for, but Japanese naan is huge and fluffy. There are tons of Indian people in Japan, even in small cities like Gifu, and all the restaurants tend to be family style affairs (as opposed to China, where the cook is probably Chinese...grrr....).

I'm not really a big fan of central Asian naan (too hard, not fluffy), but we have a local variation of that here from Xinjiang.

While we are at it, let me go on a little tangent: I have Yahoo mail for android which i use as a dump of my emails, and I get perhaps 100 emails per day. After about 4-6 weeks, Yahoo mail app becomes so slow, that it is no longer possible to even scroll through emails (on Nexus 5). I have to clear Yahoo app's data cache, and reconfigure to make it fast again. Perhaps it's time to take a look at this: when you have things decaying and breaking like that, it encourages hackers to look extra hard for vulnerabilities, since it's a reasonable assumption that other things are neglected, too.
I should note that Yahoo's android mail app is probably the most viable part of the whole Yahoo business now.
