So? You're unlikely to be able to build-up the mindshare to tackle an industry-wide problem without meaningful high-profile examples. Uber happens to make a particularly good one: they have a "God Mode" where they can see everyone's physical location! Quite a bit more visceral than uploading your e-mail address to Facebook and following you around with 1x1 pixel images.

I agree with you, but the "quality" of the Senate debate about the actual bill was so utterly low that I think we can reasonably infer that the Senate as a deliberative body doesn't care about Intelligence oversight. Only Wyden, Udall and a few others care at all.
The thing is, in the JavaScript i've seen, there is no direct use of prototypal inheritance. Instead, there's some mechanism, usually involving a method called "extend" which implements something that looks like classes and instances on top of prototypes. This is what i meant by "artisanal object systems".
Yeah, this seems to be the major difference. The question for me now is if they'll kill off the Express edition for the next release.

A chance encounter in the canteen:

"Oh, hey Bob! You don't know who I am, hi, I'm Steve McDougal here, from the OPHELIA project. Don't take this the wrong way but I've been reading your diary and I can't help but tell you that I feel the EXACT same way about our organization's spying on ordinary Americans as you do."

"Are you kidding, Steve! I know exactly who you are - I've been reading your diary for months, too!! The one you keep in : C:\Users\Steve\Documents\steves private thoughts.doc? You were writing in there just this morning about how even in Orwell's 1984 he could at least turn away from the monitoring TV!!"

"Oh wow Bob. Or that entry you wrote the other day about Quis custodiet ipsos custodes - I think this was where you were writing about your wife Sue getting banged by the FedEx guy"

"Yeah well ha-ha Steve, I could tell you never bothered to look at your wife's work Blackberry number!"

"What? You're kidding!"

"No, check it out. You got something to note this down with, I know it by heart: it's 505-234-9918. Didn't you ever hear Sue and I reading excerpts? That is some hot stuff."

"What - no, I only listen to you guys when you're actually fucking, and that hasn't happened for months. If you want to really hear something, try your home around 2 PM tomorrow, since your wife ordered something from Amazon again."

"Fedex?"

"Yep :). But so anyway, what were we talking about again?"

"Oh the diary stuff. Yeah your thoughts are like a mirror image of mine."

"Yeah I don't know how we never met before, I've been reading your diary ever since you filed a complaint about the lunchmeat. But what did you think about my thoughts on Director Alexander?"

"Well to be perfectly honest with you I think you should have kept them to yourself."

In general you just to provide the depth map too. You're still only rendering for one viewpoint (well OK, one for each eye) so the display just needs to simulate the depth and colour of the point nearest to you along any ray.

Per the post -

"A function/method call to something ends up taking longer? It's slow. Not enough people think of it as back-pressure making its way through your system. In fact, slow distributed systems are often the canary in the overload coal mine"

Your case is simply back-pressure (albeit a somewhat interesting one where having a queue implicitly applies back pressure on a per user basis). And while it helps decrease load by tying up commands, it still indicates you have a bottleneck that is going to overflow at increased load; if users start refreshing the page because it's loading slowly, or if you have an influx of users, you can still overflow, and adding queues isn't going to fix that, just make it last a little longer before it falls over again. To fix it, you need to reduce the bottleneck, or find another mechanism to impose back pressure (one that is across the entire system).
Nothing he says is wrong, but I'm not sure why people would be using queues on web requests. Do people really do this? I guess I can see it happening, but... it just doesn't feel right.

I use queues to, well, queue up work. Work that doesn't have to be done anywhere close to realtime. Things like background data processing, or in another case where I have up to 10 seconds to process a piece of data that comes in. Something like activemq lets me distribute the work easily, easily monitor the queues to see if any step needs more processing power, and is great for passing around the work.

Ken Dilanian is at the very least, "friendly" with the CIA: http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/09/ken-dilanian-sen... At least in the past, he's run drafts of stories past CIA PR people.

It's at least reasonable to consider the idea that this is a PR Hit for the NSA itself, therefore nobody will get in trouble. I concede that the "I argued with Keith and got ignored" angle is problematic if this is a PR Hit, but still, you've got to give the idea some credit.

Prioritize increasing your bill rate over saving money.

Savings are good, and compound interest is quite a thing to behold. But it's worth keeping in mind that you can put yourself in a position such that 40 year old you is pulling in over 10X what 25 year old you was. So beyond a certain point, killing yourself to sock away an extra few grand a year might not be the best plan.

Get a good six figure cushion socked away in your 20s so that you know you won't starve if the market goes south, and so that you can skip off on a year long round-the-world trip when the mood strikes. But after that, don't feel so bad about slacking off a bit. Go actually take that long trip (a few times). Just make sure you're always taking every opportunity you can find to bump up that bill rate.

Then take that new rate and double your lifetime savings in a single year at some point in your 40s.

Alert: I'm not technical recruiter nor hired people to work remote.

I live in Poland and some of my friends works remotely for companies from States and Western Europe, since cost of living here are not so bad and however domestic salaries are good compared with other trades (not suprisingly). For example, as developer with two years of experience I get about about 1.2k$ monthly. 2k$+ are considered in society as very well and best guys in IT are paid 4-6$. Probably you can find cheaper guys going more East (Ukrainian, Kazakh, maybe Russian).

Depending on technology, in Poland we have FB groups - JS is most active: https://www.facebook.com/groups/jsjobs/ there's also JVM one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1516831978539851/ - you can freely write you offer there. Others as well, but I'm not into it. Linkedin also is quite popular for people, who are looking job (or recuiters), but most of them are probably targeted for local jobs.

...distinct from volumetric displays which support multiple simultaneous viewers so need to actually render in terms of voxels.

Combining that with tracking depth cameras and sharing the map of the environment over the network would let multiple co-located users see and interact with the same 3D object (much like with a volumetric display) but the actual rendering of each user's view is decoupled.

Combining this with eye-tracking, as \hyp0 mentions, takes this to the limit - you don't need to construct a "holographic display" that renders super high resolution light fields of rays in controllable directions to all the infinite possible viewpoints around the display. Instead just stick it on your head, locate the users in a shared depth map, and just render the slice of that their eye needs to see right now. In terms of CPU/GPU/bandwidth issues it's much more plausible with today's technologies. The display side is still challenging!
I agree but the level of funding and big names involved do seem to indicate there is some substance there as well. I'm fascinated.

How to build and grow the next generation bug tracker
I'm absolutely not a designer, but I have serious issues with many tips in the first half of this article and the design trends that they support. They're all about putting text over images and keeping it readable.

So basically, you're first going to increase my cognitive load with a big flashy unrelated photo, and then you're going to blur and dropshadow and opacity-gradient it just so much that I can kind of read the text again? What for?

Fullscreen photos are nice, but they're just a picture. Very nice blurred bridge there in the background, but how is that going to sell me a route planning app? I feel like a lot of these examples are aesthetic-only designers gone wild without any place for feedback from their peers.

Is it good when it's pretty and you can just about read the text without squinting your eyes? No! It's acceptable at best. But if you try, and I bet if you actually do user tests, then you'll find that you want to ditch the image. Or at least put a big black box around the text (admittedly, also listed as an example).

Can we stop the cognitive overload already? Don't make me think! Don't make me search past the blurs and the street lights and the flowers to find the text I'm supposed to be reading.

(unless, of course, you sell a blur plugin, a street light or flowers)
