Yes. I wasn't clear enough. I was not implying that "two week Easter holiday" was incorrect (although I think it would be OK to go with "two week Easter holiday). My point was that 3 of 4 uses of hyphens were wrong.
Truly, if this works for you, then all the best. But we have lots of people at my organization programming, analyzing big data, and troubleshooting operations, and never have I ever heard or seen anyone wish for more than four monitors (two is the standard). I feel the physical issues, the problems with space (if everyone wanted that) and the capital investment all point to the use of workspaces.

This setup makes me think of this, which has been a joke in our circle for some time.

Another thing to think about: Program in C++ if you have memory to waste on leaks, or time to waste on plugging leaks.

GC induces things that are arguably leaks, but in the average case they're controlled; leaks in C++ grow without bound in the average case.

That's fairly straight up UK english hyperbole. Calling the author stupid and unprofessional because you're unfamiliar with the way UK english works is a trifle unfair.

Edit: I'm specifically talking about being unfamiliar with that style of hyperbole here. I am not defending the hyphenation. That's why I didn't mention the hyphenation at all originally. But apparently that wasn't enough, so now I'm explicitly saying I wasn't talking about the thing I didn't mention. Hope That Helps, Have A Nice Day.

I always found onedrive services to be faster than google drive(the pdf viewer for instance).It seems that,recently,Gdrive downgraded their default pdf viewer,while proposing third party alternatives(which is an interesting system,I'm in the process of developping a good epub viewer for gdrive).

Afaik,what MS does is,as much as possible,do things server side instead of client side.For instance,online excel calculations are done server side then the resulting cells are just HTML fragments sent to the ajax callback.

It makes client apps consume way less memory,since less data is stored on the client.

I have a crappy Android phone (2.x) and onedrive html app doesnt feel slow on it.On the other hand,I just cant use gmail(ajax versions) or google drive html apps.They are just not responsive.

Exactly. I understand how to set up newsletter mailing lists with Mailgun, but I'm not sure how to incorporate payment information/subscription data. I understand the API includes support for pretty thorough tracking, but right now everything I'm looking at seems more oriented towards transactional emails like errors, site updates, etc.

I'm sure I might be able to build something that glued together the Mailgun and Paypal/Stripe APIs, but my preference (since this is a side project, and one that's focused more on content at that) is to find an out-of-the-box integration if that's all possible. That's why I'm considering moving to Mailchimp. I'm just loathe to leave behind my beloved Mailgun!

I find a simple webpage to be a better UI for bookmarks than the browser dropdown maze. I suppose it matters how you use bookmarks. If you use them to go to the same sites all of the time (something that I do not do) then I suppose having your common sites in a single drop-down is nicer. Although you could have a tag in Pinboard and make that your homepage.

What I use Pinboard for is bookmarking interesting articles I want to read later, recipes I want to try later, websites that are awesome but I want to visit infrequently etc. and the simple interface of Pinboard is perfect for that, imo.
Check the comments after the post. That's mentioned as a possible reason and the author says that's not the case. Apparently Amazon is complaining about real hyphenated words, not line-break hyphen-ated words.

[edit: It appears, though, that the author is stylistically abusing hyphens, so while they may not be wrong, they're grating to most readers. So, should Amazon be in the business of banning books on the grounds of poor style, rather than technical grounds that are inarguable? (If the book contained the word hyphen-ated, that would be wrong unless it was dialogue and the speaker was pausing between syllables.)]

Your line of reasoning is pretty much the same as a religious person asking an atheist to prove three is no God. Of course that will be impossible to prove.

The religious person is the one claiming something without and reasoning or evidence. Therefore the onus is on them to prove that God exists, rather than the atheist to prove he doesn't.

There is no evidence to suggest that science will be able to observe an experience, so the onus is on you to prove that its a reasonable suggestion.

But it's not nonsense, realiability isn't all or nothing, and GC has the effect that it completely removes a class of problems that happen often in languages like C or C++ when doing manual memory management. It is making those programs more reliable, even if they aren't as bug-free as your typical spacecraft software.

That was just a joke with Apple. :)

If you put an "extra" (unintended) semicolon on the last expression, the function will return Void/Unit: if this doesn't agree with the given type of the function, then there will be a compiler error. If you forget a semicolon, then the type of the function will become the type of the last expression, which will again make the compile complain.

Are there other issues that you had in mind?
Skype Brings Real-Time Translator Online
I read the introduction and I really liked the following excerpt from The Structure of This Book:

We will often build up programs incrementally, just as a pair of programmers
would. We will include mistakes, not because I don’t know the answer, but
because *this is the best way for you to learn*. Including mistakes makes it
impossible for you to read passively: you must instead engage with the
material, because you can never be sure of the veracity of what you’re
reading.

I really like this idea as any techniques that help the learner to actively think about what they’re reading work better than books which don’t employ such technique. It’s for the same reasons that I recommend the Head First series – even though for some books, the pace can be too slow for my liking.

I’d also agree with the author that a good book for readers to learn from does not make a good reference book (and vice-versa).

ASCAP tracks radio plays and online streams. It's the federally designated company to handle royalty payments to musicians/performers. I don't think the government controls music. If journalists' royalties were based on defined metrics, I don't see this increasing government control.

As far as audience taste, you're certainly right. However, balancing this are the type of people supporting IndieGoGo, Kickstarter, and NPR.

I think it would take a lot of planning and research to design optimal rules for a royalty program like this. But I think the chances of getting good results are better than the current path we're on.
It's impressive to see how many of the complaints have been addressed by C++11, actually, and how many others have been addressed by compatible changes to the compilers and standard libraries (in particular, template related error messages can still be pretty bad, but they have improved tremendously with gcc and clang in the last few years).

This leaks argument is really getting old. I have no leaks in my code. C++11's addition of move semantics and using references everywhere makes pointers unnecessary for the most part. You can use STL containers for putting your items into so shouldn't see raw "new" or "delete" operations in your own code very much; this is particularly true where you define your own move operators and move constructors.

Even "old" C++ should have no leaks if you use RAII properly, have clearly defined container classes, use references everywhere or const pointers if you must. If you write sloppy code, you get sloppy output.

See Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language Fourth Edition" (the blue book) section 3.3.3 Resource Management and 3.2.1.2 "A Container", where in this early part of the book Stroustrup explicitly directs to 'avoid "naked" new and delete operations" and to "use resource handles and RAII to manage resources".

EDIT: Wahay getting downvoted - thanks!
In any other language (eg. PHP) if there was a vocal crowd complaining about how their scripts are slow when they do something stupid like fetching an entire database table and then doing filtering within the PHP script itself, everyone would say "But you're doing something stupid - it is going to be slow" and nobody would argue with it.

With C++, when you point out that someone is doing something foolish, you get downvoted and people start making arguments about features of the language instead to detract from the truth that you've highlighted, ie "but a good language wouldn't let you do dangerous things", which is the same as saying "knives can cut you - ban all knives!!". It's really wearisome, and always rears its head here on HN where C++ is NOT the language of the day.

That's an interesting use case, so I thought I'd compare it against something like diceware[0] which is dictionary based but generally accepted to have strong levels of entropy. N.b.: I'm using a Shannon calculator[1].

Let's use the two most forthcoming examples on hand, that is: the IPv6 address from this article's demo, A = 29A1:A600:F19B:B703:7080:5387:3685:A2AF, and the diceware example from xkcd/936, B = correct horse battery staple[2]. Using the Shannon entropy calculator, we find that A has entropy H(X) = 3.55397. The same analysis of B returns H(X) = 3.49468.

Now that's Shannon entropy which calculates the entropy of an outcome in relation to itself, and not the entropy of an outcome from a set of potential outcomes. To do that, we might start with analyzing the number of potential outcomes an IPv6 address can take (340 undecillion[3]) versus the number of words on our diceware list (~7,776 English words[0]) by the number of words our diceware passphrase potentially uses.

In the case of IPv6, you have a 'finite' number of combinations, albeit of fixed length, whereas the unfixedness of diceware means that, theoretically, the scheme scales upward into infinity. That's probably not practical, and one could simply add additional sets to an IPv6 address in order to remove that advantage. So, where does that leave us?

Well, I'm not sure that I'd like to say, but at least I can examine things this way: using an IPv6 address is probably secure, but is the added overhead of a translating agent between your memorization utility and password input worth it? At least, when compared against something like a four word diceware passphrase, it seems the entropic gains perhaps aren't worth the additional computational overhead.

He didn't say the author was stupid, nor did he say he was unprofessional. He said the author's behavior wasn't nice. And it isn't. There's no question in any English reader's mind (US or UK) that the author's heavy-handed use of hyphenation is grammatically incorrect. The buyers of the book DID have their intelligence insulted, and on closer examination, it appears that those customers are actually correct.

I see no reason not to insist on some kind of quality here. We're not talking about poetic license or writing to reflect a dialect, we're talking about the author believing hyphens are correct for a given passage. In the vast majority of his usage, his beliefs are incorrect, and his lack of grammatical awareness (enforced by his own post) is making for a bad reading experience.

Wow, this is a great question. Over at ProgrammableWeb, we have seen A LOT of unauthorized APIs turn up over the years. In fact, when we've discovered them and added them to our directory, we are sometimes asked (occasionally threatened) to take down our directory entry. These APIs are sometimes developed via the scrAPI route, while other times a debugger as been used to watch what a native mobile app does, while still other times, the service provider has simply divulged WAY too much in their client-side Javascript. However it was done, I agree there is a moral dilemma.

If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to report it to the company so that they can learn about how to better secure the API from your hack. I think that outweighs the efficacy of publishing the API to the public. But I guess it depends on what you're looking for; notoriety in the hacker community (you can't put that Pandora back in the box) or a reputation for discretion. Either one will get you credibility. Just in different forms.

One additional option would be to write about how you did it as sort of an instructive piece to hackers and service providers alike (perhaps anonymizing the service in the process). If this is something you are interested in doing, I would gladly pay you for the right to publish that article. Let me know.
