It's not what I would call pro by almost any definition. There is the 3x3 grid alignment, but dat fuzzy focus, those colors and the overblown lantern...

A combination of an interesting essay that most haven't read, and the fact that it makes us remember Aaron Schwartz
Whoa, thanks! I hadn't seen any of those. Those all produce some really nice output.

Ultimately, I think the two can and should coexist. The benefit (and, I guess, potential drawback) of the OmniRef/RapGenius approach is that it allows the whole world to comment on code (and perhaps ask questions as well) versus generators like Docco/Rocco that (of course) can only display comments in the code that are provided by the code's maintainers.

Genius.com has a feature where they have verified contributors - for example, Genius/GZA from Wu-Tang sometimes explains his own lyrics on there. Those comments are displayed much like everybody elses' comments but are given special visual prominence because they're assumed to be authoritative.

OmniRef could do something like that too - longform inline comments could be displayed on the sidebar (ala http://coffeescript.org/documentation/docs/coffee-script.htm...) as a part of the stream of comments, and given special precedence.
"Alameda is nice and quiet and the commute is good to SF."

By what means? Just getting out of Alameda by public transit seemed hard on Google Maps when last I looked, and there's no way I would call driving into the city a "good commute". Is there an option I've missed?

Dublin/Pleasanton is going to feel safer than Concord; whether it will be safer depends on just what you're doing.

Sacramento is ridiculous if you're going to be in the office every day. I know people who've done it telecommuting 2 days a week, but I still think that's crazy. If you can telecommute 4 (or more) days a week, I can more reasonably see it being the best option with the right set of other constraints.
>This won't change. Why should it?

Because too many 'investors' are losing too much money on stupid non-projects. And the ROI you claim is the motivation is clearly not there.

But wait! Maybe losing money is the point.

Maybe, anthropologically speaking, being able to waste money on startups is some kind of potlach-style social signalling game which 'investors' use to reinforce their own status.

Think this is far fetched? If so, explain to me why the ROI across the VC scene as a whole is so wretchedly bad compared to other investment opportunities, but it keeps getting money thrown at it regardless - even when this means starving viable but unsexy bootstrapped businesses that don't have Startup Appeal [tm], but are more likely to be both useful and profitable in the medium to long term.

Said researchers have claimed[1] that reducing FODMAPs[2] (which many gluten-free diets coincidentally reduce) could be the culprit for the problems that people are experiencing (and attributing to non-celiac gluten sensitivity). It is worth noting that the follow-up study (which caused them to retract) had a sample-size of ~30 people (though it was especially comprehensive).

[1] Less 'claimed' than postulated. Their follow-up study showed that the symptoms were mostly showing up in relation the presence of FODMAPs in the diet.

Even though refreshing and enlightening, the article doesn't cover another (major) reason why floating-point math is generally avoided (especially in high-performance applications): computational slowdown when dealing with subnormals[1][2].

I feel that there is a lot of overlap between cases where you may want to minimize error while at the same time still be performant (simulations, ray tracing, rendering, etc.). So you're left with a situation where you end up minimizing error, but still being slow.

Heroku isn't in a frozen state. I'm sure that they change the code daily. The fact that it suddently stopped working doesn't really point to any specific endpoint unless you know which ones have changed. Then it might mean something.
I started a project similar to talentbin.com: scraping Github, StackOverflow, and about two dozen other sites to compile searchable developer profiles. Figuring out when a Github and StackOverflow profile belonged to the same person was a pretty fun challenge. Eventually I abandoned it though, because it felt like I was just enabling keyword-based recruiter spam. Selling it to people made me feel bad instead of good.
Probably has a bit to do with it... I, for one was really happy with a great mid-range option that was by far the best value in each release... still on my N4, and not sure what I'm going to get as an upgrade.
Interesting. I paid the $2, or at least tried to. The Stripe form processed and gave a "paid" checkmark, but then redirected me to a plain HTML page that simply said "Oh, too bad." When I reloaded it prompted me to pay again, although I believe it went through.

So, interesting app but needs some payment debugging.
I continue to want a fitness monitor that's just a nice-looking watch strap, that I can put on my watch that I already like. I suppose that would be a pretty niche market, though.
>Or autism and ADHD

Given our rapidly evolving understanding of these disorders in the past few decades, I don't see how anyone can claim a working knowledge of ASD or ADHD in the 1980s (especially in the bleak, grayscale zone of Europe).

Seeing as the article makes no mention of either disorder, you seem to be lost also to its content.
Yes, I meant median salary of all people living in the area. Not of developers.

For example, here in Boston median salary is $58,000. Developers can readily get $116,000, and I know many who have exceeded $174,000, at least when taking into account bonuses, RSUs, etc.

My point is that plenty of people obviously afford to live near you while making only median salary. If you live the same lifestyle as them, you have a huge ability to save money.

Frankly, that's a poor way to do it. A much better way would be to simply run `systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth0` and then edit the dhcpcd config. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd#Running And/or have your IPs configured by a DHCP server.
Fun fact: if you look in an old copy of the Joy of Cooking, there are several references to wheat allergies (only found one in the index at a glance), including an old USDA publication on the subject (couldn't find that easily). This book has been around since 1931.

I liked that the article isn't so much about #GamerGate as the nature of online arguments. I'm only vaguely aware of the issues of #GamerGate but I can completely understand the following from the article:

"People are going to say things about your favorite parts of the culture. Some of these things will be stupid or wrong. It is swell to use more speech to disagree with, criticize, or ridicule the criticism. But when you become completely and tragicomically unbalanced by the existence of cultural criticism, or let it send you into a buffoonish spiral of resentful defensiveness, people may not take you seriously."

The diagnosis rate of ADHD in Europe is half the rate of the US. That's very likely to be a case of rampant over-diagnosis.
Nut allergies are also unheard of in 3rd world countries. But this could be because they simply die and no one understands why. Places like South East Asia have a high peanut diet, so children who are allergic likely die fairly quickly without adequate medical care, which is a tragedy.

We did a pilot of Office 365 with an eye on using the OneDrive stuff (in addition to migrating to the cloud Exchange service) and found:

- There's no mac client for the business one drive. Only windows.
- Documents are silently modified by adding a "signature" to them. In some cases this wouldn't matter, but in others it definitely would.
- There was a 20,000 item limit. (files or directories) There's ways to get around this by creating additional collections, but that's hard and has its own limitations and issues.
- Individual files had a 2GB size limit.
- Those combined to mean that the "1TB" space limit was meaningless.

Note: "One Drive" and "One Drive for Business" are totally different. The stuff connected to "Office 365" is the business stuff and it's really some friendlier front-ends on some kind of Cloud SharePoint thing...
"Do that, and then live a median lifestyle. You can save a year's living expenses every year you're working. In five years you can have a five year runway."

This assumes a median lifestyle is sustainable, and ignores the progressive nature of income tax. At 3x you can probably still do as you say. At 2x you strictly can't unless the median lifestyle includes some savings - the second 1x is taxed more than the first 1x.
Mine is approximately half of that.

"Growing up in the 80s in Eastern Europe culinary allergies and the likes were virtually unheard of. Or autism and ADHD."

They clearly did not call it a fake condition. You're being hyper reactive, and calling them dumb for something they plainly did not say.

They said it was extremely rare. It was extremely rare - in terms of being diagnosed - in the 1980s in Europe.

Today a diagnosis of ADHD is far more rare in Europe than in the US.

You are still looking at it from a purely technical perspective. In the article, the photographer already mentioned that he's only using the iPhone for the "composition and the perfect photo opp".

The point of the parent, I think, is that in the hands of a competent photographer, any adequate camera can produce works of certain artistic merit. Those who are most up in arms about the technical aspects of a camera often ignore the artistic aspects of a photograph.

Here is a video of how an awarding-winning cinematographer (Phillip Bloom) films a short video using a low-resolution Barbie Doll camera:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VS3C183G8g

All technical aspects of the Barbie Doll camera are dismal, but the end product, when viewed as a whole, is not something that an Average Joe can produce, even if equipped with a RED ONE camera.

I was under the impression that in places like Amsterdam, canals were useful historically because people didn't have motor vehicles so they were a highly effective way to move goods around town (and to/from remote farms, towns and cities via rivers like the Amstel and IJ, other canals, and the sea).

Today, while extant networks may remain quite decorative and interesting, urban canals seem unlikely to be used for any purpose other than high-end recreation / tourism, and the article does not address any way they'd be directly useful for flood control. It's not even made clear they'd really assist in keeping seawater out of peoples' homes and businesses.
The first Python web framework I used was Django. I'm really glad I came across it first because I was inexperienced at the time and it forced me to adopt a lot of good practices.

However, now that I'm more experienced, I can relate a little to what Aaron is saying here. Learning all of this boilerplate stuff is annoying! Recently, I started contributing to a friend's rails app and I found the process of learning how to use each separate little tool tiresome.

This is why I like Pyramid - it starts off dirt simple. Hello World is almost as short in Pyramid as it is in Flask. As you grow, you can start organizing and adding different things as you need them. It has absolutely 0 magic. I find Pyramid to be a happy medium between Flask's minimalism and Django's extensibility.

Yes, they were vitually unheard of in the US as well... but since then, we've come pretty far in medical science. Far more things are considered autism now than they were in the 80's.

How many of the people have a medically substantiated intolerance that is beyond normal human intolerances? Chilis, for example, give some of us heartburn. This is well within normal variance. Some of us truly cannot eat certain foods - wheat, peanuts, onions... and so on - this is outside of normal. Medical tests can prove this. From what I can tell, however, is that most people are treating this like a fad diet and positive results can easily be attributed to other things (watching what you eat, less fatty foods, more vegetables, and so on).

The comment about antibiotics is a rather different one. People couldn't just pop antibiotics if doctors didn't prescribe them (and/or if they aren't readily available otherwise). I agree on the over-sterility and so far, science is backing this up with a general message of: Be clean, but not too clean.

the gluten argument, for me, is really a conversation about shitting'pooping'defecating'whatever-ing-you-need-to-talk-about-excrement-seriously

do some light research, find grain alternatives that are gluten free, eat that for a week and see if how your body expels its used resources is changed

it is interesting to me that the initial response to a 'fad' is aggressive denial stead some basic experimenting

there is a world of interest for those that are willing or wanting to dig deep in giving up mass produced bread products

i find with each limitation i place on my diet the more interesting my meals become because i am forced to think of alternatives to standard meals, similar to how artists will impose limitations to incite creativity

meals without bread products remain unaffected but if you love baking,
like the anecdotal couple at the end of the article, you baking can become even more interesting and involved using alt flours,
baking with alt flours is like chemistry with each one having different bake reactions and health benefits

also, there is beginning to be science to support the adverse effects one feels when ingesting gliadin class proteins, component to gluten, which increases intestinal permeability inhibiting nutrient absorbtion(i)

the reality is the food industry is out for money stead your health

if you change your mind on what your health requirements are the industry will follow and in due time we will have all the donuts and cookies anyone could want and they will be made with alt flours

The big dig was not nearly as poorly executed as you might assume, digging in the middle of a major city is simply rediculusly expencive.

IMO, the best option is to simply raise buildings following the Chicago model. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_of_Chicago. A major advantage being you don't need to worry about flood control measures failing. It's not like the buildings are actually worth all that much it's 90% pure land value with a token for the structure. (Aka move the same building to the middle of an Iowa cornfield and suddenly there not so valuable.)

Nice!

Yeah, I've done the excel bit with \n and \t as well. I have a little text-munging javascript app I wrote for splitting and merging things in certain ways.

I also use the excel -> db route a lot, but I'm working with MS SQL Server so I'll just do the data import from excel to db.

I get dirty looks sometimes when I talk about doing things this way, but it's really handy. If I know I'm going to have to do something more than once, I'll usually write a quick script for it, but otherwise, quick ad-hoc text manipulation with ST, excel and the javascript scripts I have is pretty fast and really flexible.

Flexibility is the big thing for me. Often I won't think of every way I really need to manipulate the data right out of the gate, so being able to quickly work through and change things is handy.

A couple points:

Support for subnormals can easily be disabled (usually be enabling "Flush to Zero" behavior) to allow for better performance on essentially all recent hardware.

Over the last few years, subnormal stalls have shrunk rapidly, and gone away entirely in some cases. Intel started this process with the Sandybridge architecture. These stalls are also greatly reduced in some arm64 implementations.
Can you explain more about why you think that is interesting in this context?
Why do you think it's not scalable? Think there always has to be a level of attention on an individual level?
