The one I did know in python was PaPy:

Will have to have a closer look at this one as well, though.
Location: I didn't name all the places, but I'm talking about Tel Aviv, Cologne and Bochum in those cases - 'big' cities (TLV and Bochum aren't, really. Cologne crossed 1mil again I think). Given that I rule out the location or I just happen to hit bad locations, consistently.

Savings: That might make sense. For me each bike had a value beyond the money. I picked it, really liked it. I was in a rage each time I lost it. Plus, in Cologne and Bochum I'm issued a company car. No fuel, no maintenance, no .. bike. Sad, but easier. Similar to your argument: The cost of a bike is significant if the alternative is 'free'.

Apartment: Did that in TLV, as I stated. Afterwards I got kids. I don't have a "do not touch" area anymore, if we ignore a couple servers and gadgets. Storing a bike in my apartment isn't an option right now.

(I _loved_ my bike in TLV. Stayed for one year, rode to work every single day - I think there were max. 2 occasions where I used the bus for some reason. Now I'm certain that I cannot protect a bike, so I won't invest in one. Thieves completely destroyed my fun here.)
Are you talking about total internal reflection? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/Total_int...

I think I can find an angle where you can't see the skybox.
Is this similar to Flux of ReactJS?
How much did you take?

I bet they all consume copious amounts of coffee while saying it.
Tell that to the idiots who make every slightly risky (aren't they all?) drug illegal or, if we're lucky, prescription only.

Oh, that includes Modafinil, and I'm counting the days until someone notices Phenylethylamine.
Sounds like your Sturmey Archer worked just fine. The most common older model had a position between normal and high gear where the driver was disengaged from the hub, and there were stories of crashses due to slipping out of gear while honking up a hill.

I have those old hubs on a couple of my bikes.

Quite agreed about getting a crappy bike. A bike can be quite ride-able yet still look crummy.
>But the assumption of password usage is that the password itself is never stored - the ciphertext of this cipher should itself not be available to an attacker.

I think the Gawker leak alone is enough of a precedent to ensure that this can never be assumed.
Heh. I learnt to touch type on a PLATO system in 1990.
I tried modafinil for about a month -- maybe a bit longer; I don't remember -- and believe it had the desired effect (although I'm not convinced that wasn't a placebo). I felt more focused and, importantly, less prone to anxiety and depression, without the unstable skittishness that, say, caffeine gives me. (That said, it made my pee smell rather funky!) After researching as much as I could, I felt the risk was acceptable. The only reason I didn't continue my "experiment" was that it's a bit too expensive for the relatively mild improvements. (e.g., A good holiday, as the article mentioned, has a similar effect.) I considered trying to get it on prescription -- as it definitely seemed to help with my anxiety -- but felt that, besides that being off-label and therefore unlikely to be approved, it would be an somewhat unethical use of NHS resources!

> I this case they seem to have directly copied design not because of any particular reasons but just because of lack of inspiration of their own.

Like what everyone did with Xerox PARC's design, or Unix's design. I'm not saying that what Apple did was illegal, because it clearly wasn't, just that it wasn't very creative. Ditto all the people who grabbed elements of Unix (pipelines, the notion of subdirectories Unix has, device files) to put into, say, MS-DOS.

And then there are all the "n guys with drums, a guitar, and a bass" which sprung up once the Beatles hit the mainstream. Pop sounded fairly different before they got big.

You appear to be getting angry over standard practice, is what I'm saying.
As someone who loves Io, it gets my attention because:

— the language is very mutable, almost all behaviours can be modified

— it's simple, all you can do is send messages to objects

— you can write DSLs and macro-like things without special macro support

— it's so dynamic you'll end up live-coding without realizing it

It has less syntax than Smalltalk, it's homoiconic like Lisp, but doesn't need support for macros because of the way messages are handled.

A not intolerable way of thinking of Io is it is to object calculus what Lisp is to lambda calculus. There are parts where that analogy breaks down but it's not a bad first approximation.

edit: formatting
The "impostor syndrome" meme would have us believe that if you feel like an impostor, don't worry -- it's a positive sign that you're actually a modest, shy kind of genius.

But sometimes it just means that you really are out of your depth.
Knowing these is a must if you're doing embedded development. I have a printout of the table on this page posted on the wall of our validation lab.
The effect is actually quite different. Much more subtle and therefore more effective in a way - less intrusive. It's very much a drug, though.
Thanks! Would have taken me a long
time to have been sure about that.
So, I'm learning!

Modafinil is fantastic if you want to super-procrastinate on steroids. Rabbit holes go on forever.

Well put! Rust shines in that these sorts of abstractions (channels being just one example) which must be builtin in other languages can be expressed as library types in Rust. It is a distinct strength, not a weakness as this article seems to imply.
Getting started with side projects is the easy part. Getting finished is the real trick. And the payment part seems to come largely after the second step (if at all).

I build small web apps for companies on the side. Little data management things the office can share... something like you might make with Access but obviously a lot nicer, more customized and networked. I host them also and charge a monthly fee. I don't think this is a way to get stinking rich. But it keeps me busy after work.
Can you please explain how you connected Haskell with Java in your mind? I'm honestly curious.

Passwords are a shitty idea people. We need a better system.

Most probably aren't just envious. However, those who wrote negative comments weren't afraid to announce seemingly definitive conclusions without enough data to justify their assurance. Keep in mind that the author and his cofounder were interviewed by YC partners and all of the cofounders. While their selection system has flaws, most probably agree that it's one of the best that exists right now. Perhaps they saw strengths in the author's founding team that the author himself had not perceived.

Based on the author's age, I assume he considers this the greatest failure in his life. He wrote this shortly after exiting an educational system that indoctrinates students to believe that success occurs without failures. So his perspective may have been from a point of low self-worth making it difficult to see his own strengths that will help him recover and succeed moving forward.

Thank you for writing about your experience Charlie. I hope the traveling has been beneficial, and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

A Short History of Police Protest
There are a number of other important issues driving language adoption which were not mentioned in the article from the quality of the tooling and documentation to existing code bases (and consequently the quality of FFI). I'm also surprised python didn't get a mention given that this is where a large number of new Go programmers come from.

As for the languages themselves, I was very happy when Go came out and I've been using it for the last two years. I generally loud the conservative approach to language features that Go took, but I fear they've overdone it.

One feature missing from Go which is mentioned at every such occasion (and with a good reason) is generics. Their value to the programmer would be even higher in Go than in other languages, since a lot of existing concurrent code could be written in a generic way and reused regardless of what needs to be put in the channels.

There are also a few minor annoyances like lots of boiler plate (e.g. overly verbose for loops), nil pointer, no algebraic data types, select statement vs reflect.Select(), range keyword (off-limits to your own data structures).

I've got high hopes for Rust.
And AFAIK the code isn't available also!
Only some small pieces are available..
I would be upset about the lack of availability of the code if I was an american taxpayer..
It's the same author. There's a pretty big overlap between plagiarists and fabulists, so it's hard to put much stock into a subjective article like this.
Thanks!! The idea was to ask about products but links to research would equally well appreciated. Didn't even think to hope for such of goodness :)

IMO each point of CRI really does count, even in the high 90s. I'm using EIKO Solux halogens that have a CRI of 99 as I recall. Excellent light quality, colors are so much better and everything just feels so much more right.

mtmail already made the point on the monthly maintenance on the web scraper. One more thing I'd do, as an addendum (or even separate) to the contract, I'd have a one page written/signed document that points out web scrapers are useful but fragile when sites change (give the reasons etc). That should help keep you pretty safe.

As for payment, try not to take a credit card or paypal, get a physical check, ACH or wire transfer. As for taxes, most places will require you to provide a W9 which they will then use to report what they paid you to the IRS (although sometimes when the fees are low they don't bother). In the end even if they don't, just report it on your taxes as additional income and keep a copy of your invoice and record of payment, including any fees or costs you incurred on the project and to get paid. This way you can get your deductions but also have proof.

Ouch, I knew someone who had SJS from a reaction to some drugs and it was a truly horrible experience. Ended up in the burn ward for a while because SJS was basically causing their skin to come off. Would not wish that on my worst enemy (luckily they recovered after a grueling week or two).
TL;DR by using more of the available features in ElasticSearch, you can probably replace all of your external app with ElasticSearch.

A few things:

- ElasticSearch is definitely not schema-less, but it can try to generate a schema (aka "mapping") for you if you don't give it one: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/c...

- ElasticSearch has tons of ways to customize the data you get back, so, unless you really don't want the ES cluster crunching things for you, you can do a lot of the transformation server-side. You can go so far as to have your own type + mapping for e.g. a report, which sources data from another type and transforms it: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/referenc...

- This covers both why the schema can't, by nature, be dynamic (so the argument of "schema-less / dynamic schema" is BS in practice IMO), as well as how to get data out from one index an into another (e.g. your "report" index which does scripted transformation).

- Another idea would be to use the scripting module to write a custom "view": http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/referenc...

- You can use Groovy, mvel, JS, or Python for scripts. If you combine this with how ES lets you do "site plugins", you could make a JS + CSS + HTML site which is actually served by the ES cluster, which interacts with it and generates reports or whatever all without additional infrastructure. Example: https://github.com/karmi/elasticsearch-paramedic
They are compared by pretty much anyone that has found both to be significant or interesting. People often compare it to C++ because of the theoretical performance capabilities being similar. People often compare it to Go because Go is a simple, popular reference that many people understand, and hence can be compared against in a way that is meaningful to a lot of people. There are a lot of similarities, as well as a lot of differences, making for lively conversations filled with tangents on various preferences and experiences. In short, you can have a good conversation when making such comparisons. You can compare it against tomatoes, too, but the shared ground isn't huge, and analogies must be far more complex to derive meaning, and the participants need far deeper mental stacks to make ANY progress that relates to the original intent when the tangents veer far from the domain of programming language implementation or usage.
I used the Sheldon Brown method for a while. Nobody stole my bike but I gave up on it after getting a few broken spokes. A rigid lock resting on a relatively weak spoke is asking for trouble.
This is totally amazing, I knew that RMS used to hold this opinion (hiding the GCC AST so nasty people can't misuse it), but I believed (wrongly it turns out), he'd abandoned it by now.

I can't see how he can defend crippling software, and blocking usecases which clearly a large set of users want (all kinds of editor intelligent colouring, competition), out of fear of a closed-source boogyman which doesn't exist any more, thanks to clang (if it ever did).
It's like one of those daytime TV commercials for a new kind of blender, but he's selling his own kind of email hucksterism. Ugh.

does this use the navier stokes equations? How are the ripples generated?
Unless it is fundamentally wrong. In which case, it could be a major mistake. So you let it exist for a while and see if there is any counter-research or alternative explanations that have been overlooked.
I used Io as an embedded scripting language in a video processing app. That was something like 9 years ago. (Although Io's method dispatch is heavy, it worked fine even on G4 Macs as the performance-intensive parts were C functions anyway.)

Many years later I used Ruby, and I couldn't shake the feeling that Ruby had the same goals as Io but only got half way.
I'm a big fan of the OnGuard Mini:

It's small (no leverage attacks), and reasonably light. I also leave a giant chain lock in the bike room of my building at work.
From the FAQ:

"Most studies done on the l-theanine-caffeine combination have a l-theanine to caffeine ratio that isn't consistent with ratios you would expect from most teas. The studies used about twice as much l-theanine as caffeine by weight. The ratio found in most teas is reversed, with the possible exception of high quality green tea. Tea also increases fluoride intake which may lead to skeletal or other health problems when consumed in excess."

I'd just like to put in a word for good deep-steamed sencha (fukamushi-cha), and for special occasions the more expensive gyokuro. Brew it properly and it's very, very delicious, and the effects are just lovely. You easily get four brewings from one dose of tea leaves. I drink it most days at work and it's such a delight!
What a great encapsulation of essential knowledge.
Fly-by comment: C4 is very similar to CAM, the scheme that cacti use. So the C4 rice project is essentially what you're thinking of, except that the reactions are separated spatially in C4 instead of temporally in CAM.
People want to do a startup to get rich. Solving interesting problems keeps you motivated, but it's the profit motive that pushes people to actually do a startup. It's the profit motive that drives capitalism, not the "solve interesting problems" motive.

As long as Thunderbolt is involved there seems there is both the licensing issue and the issue with graphics cards needing Thunderbolt drivers to work in the enclosures. If it was done perfectly, the card would be just like any card in a normal desktop slot, so the normal driver would work. Not sure what would be required for that to work. Also not sure what it would take to just physically run the "on board" PCIe directly to the docking rather than use a cable. It should be much better for latency to just have the card sit in a docking box right under the laptop, within the same distance from the cpu as a normal PCIe card is on a desktop motherboard.
For some of the negative comments, the data actively contradicts their conclusion. Many here seem to think that only an idiot would "invest in a 21 year old with a half-baked business plan." The people posting that have probably made less from whatever they're doing, than PG/YC have from their 21 year old founders.
That's what I was trying to say. Different protocols for different things. You don't want a blockchain for bitmessage.

It is worth mentioning that you shouldn't lock a bike around the seat tube. A thief can cut the frame tubing much easier than the lock, disguise the break by covering it with a u-lock carrying clamp and still have a ridable bike to sell.
I took dexedrine from middle school through college and my early work years. Once I learned how to use it (which took a long time), it was an incredibly fun drug that I could also use very effectively.

But I felt like it stole time from me, I could be productive and happy all week on it, and then I'd be depressed and tired all weekend as a I took a drug holiday. It was worth it to me when I was younger, but now that I have kids, I can't trade time like that.
TV can also be something which relaxes your brain and reduces stress. I do however agree that excessive TV watching is utter waste of time.
This has indeed encouraged much comparison: there is simply a large overlap in the communities that may be inclined to use either. There was a discussion between the authors of C++, Rust, D, and Go in which the topic of what a "systems programming language" even is is brought into question. Rob Pike, speaking on Go's behalf, mentioned that while "systems programming" was originally advertised as a goal of Go, it has since been dropped from the list, due to the expectations that others have when they read that compared to the intent of the drivers of the language. Here's a video of that talk, if you're curious:

It feels like the influence of (L)GPL and perhaps even Stallman is almost at a close. These days I'm genuinely surprised if I see something new released under an (L)GPL license. And when it does happen it's often released under a more free MIT or BSD license soon thereafter.
Yeah but that's the point, at least Apple copied substantial and innovative features, which is worse from a copying standpoint but at least has some merit content-wise. I actually don't think you should be able to protect features like windows, pipes etc even though they have creative depth. Companies should compete on execution, not by ownership of ideas.

I guess copying of surface rather than substance to this extent does make me a little angry just because it's so lazy, unecessary and blatant. It's like someone ripping off a website design down to the mark-up, it's just ... slimy

> You have to have tasks all lined up

I rarely see this mentioned, but I cannot agree more. In my experience with Modafinil, if I had tasks lined up before the effects took hold, I was golden and would obliterate that to-do list/etc. But if I were left with 'nothing to do', it was just like you described...the rabbit hole just got deeper.

So many people have had wildly different experiences with modaf (as with any drug really)...for me it's biggest positive was that context switching, mentally, became nearly 'free'. Generally my biggest hurdle in completing tasks through the day is when I finish with one task in one context and am tasked with unloading all of that information and jumping into something new...this is where I procrastinate, or generally just struggle with maintaining pace. While taking modafinil that penalty was seemingly non-existent. I was able to bounce from problem to problem, project to project with no mental penalty or friction. Quite amazing really.

Though I generally just don't find the sensation while taking them enjoyable or even worth it in many cases...increased heart rate makes me and my hands sweat (and smell), tight jaw and general inability to just 'relax'. I bought 60 nearly two years ago and have taken maybe 10 of them. I'm also a contractor who doesn't work under any or much stress/pressure, which may have something to do with my apathy towards their positive effects.

To each their own, I can absolutely see how this drug has and can change people's lives.

I wouldn't know, but .. that brand is touted as the 'right answer' in the linked article and 'Get a U-Lock' is quoted a couple of times from the crooks they used to test the locks.
