Amelius, I cannot reply to you directly for some reason. Anyway...

So say you're rendering some long list of items. Because react is just plain JS (no templates!), you will map the array of items to components in your render. You give each item a key so that react can reconcile components across renders. If component with same key is returned from render next time then it's kept in the DOM (and any updates applied), if not then it's removed. So the involved part becomes determining what is visible or not, and then slicing your list of items to only map a subset. This is the more involved part. I haven't built anything like this myself, but I'm guessing it basically boils down to: listening to scroll events on container, determining y offset, get height of contaoner and height of elements, use that to determine which items in list should be mapped to components in render. That bit is the same whether react or not.

See James Longster's epic blog post "Reducing User Interface Complexity, Or Why React Is Awesome" [0]. Where he details this kind of approach with his for-demp-purposes-only react-like lib.

This is the 'get a small number of users to love your service' approach that I have seen mentioned alot in solving the chicken and egg. It is how Facebook got going.
> Special relativity suggests that the concept of simultaneity is not universal: according to the relativity of simultaneity, observers in different frames of reference can have different perceptions of whether a given pair of events happened at the same time or at different times, with there being no physical basis for preferring one frame's judgments over another's (though in a case where one event A happens in the past light cone of another event B, all frames will agree that A happened in the past of B).

Makes me wonder if there is something that can be added to the concept of space-time which makes this untrue.

It is possible for sure.

I actually do code in the bathtub, but not like that. You can't reliably hold a laptop on your bare bent legs -- the lack of friction caused by leg hair will make it slide towards you (and into the water if the water is too high). If the guy were to put both hands on the keyboard and code, the laptop would not stay in place.

The only way to do it comfortably is to sit with your legs straight and flat in front of you (in a tub style bath, not a deep jacuzzi like pictured), raise the water level to about .75 inches (2cm) below the laptop (resting on your flat thighs), then lower the flow of water to a hot trickle and open the drain to match the in-flow. The hot trickle is to keep the temperature at a steady state of hotness.

My tub-style bath is not wide enough for my laptop to accidentally fall into the water to the side. The only way it could come in contact with water is if I sloshed around from side to side to make waves, which I don't do.
I wished I could say I coined that term, but I've seen it before. It's sometimes used in literary studies to explicitly distance a positive utopia from a dystopia. That it's a homophone makes it a clever pun, but also pretty useless in normal conversation.
That website is broken, I had to use links to read it.

TLS would do a good first-pass of stopping this, right? And SPDY could defeat size-based profiling by using server push to send enough data to pad things out to make transfers all look the same length. (Say round up a max of 10% to create size "bins".)
Just two details:

"The hijackers in the September 11 attacks were 19 men affiliated with al-Qaeda, and 15 of the 19 were citizens of Saudi Arabia."

http://www.economist.com/news/international/21640325-interna...

"THE Middle East is a black spot for free speech. Its countries come near the bottom in rankings of press freedom, and most criminalise blasphemy and apostasy (renouncing Islam). But even by such dismal standards, Saudi Arabia stands out. Penalties for transgressing its religious and political strictures, even in word, include hefty fines and jail sentences, beatings and beheadings. Human Rights Watch, a monitoring group, notes a surge in executions since August. By some counts at least ten people have been put to death so far this year."

People who could afford to create art in past ages could do it only if a) They had benefactors, such as wealthy patrons, and b) They were independently wealthy.

It wasn't until the printing press that artists could look to the public to pay for their artistic endeavors. Shakespeare wasn't wealthy, but he could get by thanks to patrons and a devoted paying audience. Chaucer, on the other hand, needed his patrons, while Lord Byron was independently wealthy.
AFAIK (Canadian here) it's legal to use anything commercial if it's for educational purposes, so they'd have to prove you're profiting off of it (with current laws) to prosecute. Please someone correct me if I'm mistaken ...

Seems like the next logical thing to apply this trichotomy to is fields of study. Uh oh, looks like math is just a hobby now. But since I've convinced someone to pay me to do that hobby, I guess I don't care what label it's given.

Hardwoods are better for carving so Oak could work. I'm pretty sure regular plywood is mostly the same stuff underneath, with a veneer of the good stuff on top, so I'm not certain it would help with weather resistance. Still experimenting so I'll definitely have to try it!

I did want a section for user feedback though. Maybe I could put that at the end of the home page.
Microsoft basically bootstrapped for a decade before taking investment. It was in the form of an IPO and made 12,000 current [at the time] and former employees millionaires. It made the two founders and Balmer billionaires. Gates became the richest person.

Maybe you don't need investor money. If you don't need it, you probably don't really want it. The purpose of a business is not to raise money from investors...well maybe if you're running a con, but that's another story.
There are some exceptions, of course. Lord Byron's poets regularly sold out and were very profitable. As was Tennyson and Robert Browning's poetry.

If we had perpetual copyright, I suspect Shakespeare's estate would be worth several billion dollars.
Oh this makes me sad. There are very few modern American voices on politics that usually make as much sense and are as well thought out as Andrew Sullivan's. It will be a loss not to hear his opinion everyday. His reasons for leaving are, of course, understandable.

I feel like Ta-Nehisi Coates Matthew Yglesias, and Johnathan Chait are the only other voices that come close.
Canadian here.

Sounds about right. Hopefully some people with ethics and values are still in politics. Hopefully.
Your statement, which is just accepting an internet-rumor as true, contrasts very strongly with the article itself, which is about going to great effort to learn things from hard data.
> why shouldn't a minor in CS train you as a web developer?

Because "Computer Science" and "Web Development" aren't even remotely the same thing.

I mean, if a school wants to offer a Web Development major or minor or vocational certificate program, great, but there's no reason to call it CS, which it isn't.
I just applied and this is really a perfect fit for me. However, I have a hard time seeing who else would be interested in this opportunity. I'm currently traveling and bouncing around so spending some time in San Francisco sounds great.

Anyone else who signed up, what position are you in where living in San Francisco for a couple days works for you?
If my password is catsanddogs, there is not much entropy in this password. If the connection was based off symmetric crypto from the get go, where the key was seeded from that password, you could capture some traffic and offline attack the key based off a weak user password.

The alternative is safer. You would have to brute force the login online.

I think you don't know what an IV is. The IV is not secret. Maybe that's where the confusion comes from?
I use cscope extensively, but it serves a quite different purpose from grep. It's good at jumping to definitions and references for a specific symbol (although C++ support is miserable; AFAIK the other tools you listed are similar), but grep's required if you need more structure/context, if you're searching comments or don't know exactly what something is called, etc.
I should clarify: I'm not hurt or offended by bcantrill's words, and the commercial success of Linux in the intervening years speaks more than any verbal response ever could.

On the other hand, even as a Linux advocate I found bcantrill's post freakin' hilarious. There are very few times when the universe gives you a perfect opportunity for a snappy retort, so I can't blame him for seizing the moment. While it's probably not bcantrill's favourite memory, I think that moment deserves to be remembered and respected for its comedic value, if nothing else.
This is my assumption as well. Not too long ago I had to use a text-based email reader on a computer that used dialup for a shell account.

Now I just whisper commands into my smartwatch or wait for it to send me notifications. If anything, the mobile revolution has softened the tired hand wringing of "but but I'm on the computer so much." Yeah, if you are, then that's your lack of discipline and ability to find better solutions to your problems. Everything has been dumbed down and simple. Its actually quite pleasant unless you purposely make yourself a fb, twitter, and instagram addict.

There's probably a larger conversation here about what it means to have a good life and what it means to have the discipline to make it happen. So many people fall into the traps of outrage politics, low information buzzfeed-like articles, mindless skinner boxes posing as games, etc and blame the technology. Sorry hun, the technology isn't the problem - you are. Funny how when we finally get choice, we show the world how little class we actually have.

For those of us with a little self-control, the connected world is beyond amazing. I wish it got more appreciation. I'm so getting tired of the narrative that everything sucks in life. I don't think we really appreciate the wonders at our disposal.
I have not been notified that anyone has been selected. I'm not sure if they're going to ask my opinions at all on the candidates (I hope they do).

I think TeamCity can achieve your needs: it has the ability to create a "build chain", where dependent builds can specify "Build on same host as <docker build>" and "Re-use existing (successful) build".

I do something similar by provisioning Joyent VM's as a dependency of a build chain that requires a build to be run on those VM's.

The most recent TC release can persist your build configuration to VCS (say, a private github proj.), so you do get some level of vcs-managed build configuration.
LOL? Amazon makes money? Good one.
You can go deeper and apply the author's argument to literary fiction itself. "Master and Commander" is probably literary fiction's "major art", while something like Finnegan's Wake is the 'craft' of the literary fiction writers.
Because they're a revenue generating machine in an age of suppressed demand.
They also want backdoors for end-to-end encryption. Remember the Clipper Chip? Cypherpunks won that round with Silicon Valley support. But now that we're at cyberwar, all bets are off.
I doubt it's that clear-cut; if I'm downloading episodes of Glee or recently released movies to watch on my laptop, I'm not exactly using them for educational reasons, but I'm also not making a profit.
Well, this is one right outside a branch of its bank, all is part of the retail establishment.

Although I'd agree with something related to your point, an ATM that's part of a bank like mine or the ones you try to use are observed by bank personnel, who you can hope will be a bit more suspicious of any physical changes to it.
> keep in mind that relay IPs, and perhaps even subnets, may show up on various blacklists

Have you got an example of that? I know a few relays intimately and I've never seen this.
What about agencies who do have the resources, and who can request that this data be shared with them?

Think Parallel Construction.
I'm not quite sure you can make that leap. While it certainly fits his criterion of a large non-practicing audience, you forget that it actually lacks art (99% of the time). It's as workman-like as accounting or perhaps more akin to a sport.
This is slightly offtopic but I find the vulgar example passwords amusing. I used to use a lot of vulgar language in my code but when you have to commit it and other people (e.g. your supervisor) read it, you have to be more careful.

Your comparison is bang on, except that's the point. Amazon isn't trying to be Ikea. It is absolutely trying to provide the building blocks for small companies and large to use their cloud platform in a very foundational manner. Yes, the onboarding cost may be high, but Amazon doesn't mind if customers end up using Heroku or EngineYard instead - they are customers too.

AWS is a lot like Linux that way: Deeply challenging initial learning curve, but the only thing worth considering for serious mission critical architecture. Stability and scalability does come at the cost of user-friendliness.
My brother marks his undergrad's papers from his bathtub, and frequently computes there. He has a wood board that goes across the tub. A compromise of ergonomics, but, he maintains its still the best.

And even now we have spoken word and slam poets that sell out clubs & college gigs, and make ends meet on that. They are profound exceptions. And, also, Shakespeare's profits would be almost entirely due to his plays.
I appreciate the clarity of the difference between art and craft. Craft is when the audience is the practitioners. Clarifying that distinction alone was worth the read.
Nice work! There's a great presentation from BSides Las Vegas a few years ago about the ANSI art scene, definitely worth checking out if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILNs1GChGDk

I did a week-long hike in the Los Padres national forest about a year ago. It definitely took a few days to get used to having no communication. (I still reached in my pocket to check my non-existent phone once every half-hour like clockwork). The first 24 hours were nerve-wracking, all I could think about was "what if something crazy happens and nobody can reach me?". But after a few days I just forgot about it, the internet just wasn't something that crossed my mind.

Card College by Roberto Giobbi is pricey but provides excellent instruction. If you don't mind reading older, more formal language (though not as old as Erdnase!), The Royal Road to Card Magic by Hugard and Braue, and its sequel Expert Card Technique, cover more material than Giobbi at a fraction of the cost, albeit with slightly less attention to the subtleties of finger position.
I can't answer your question, but I stumbled upon such concept while reading the MIT news. If you're interested, the professor Bradford Skow has recently published a book on the subject: http://goo.gl/L9538k.
You don't really need to stop the explosion so much as make it not worth the thieves' while. Just spray the money with indelible die as soon as you detect the gas. You may lose a few ATMs this way, but the thieves will pretty rapidly give up on those from any bank that widely deploys such a device.

You post that like I wouldn't know about the Saudi hijackers.

This sounds promising. I've been building something with Ionic recently and it's great 'cause it's just Angular but the documentation is a bit inconsistent and outdated. If React Native were to execute and deliver, I'd definitely love to switch over.
I'm German, so I'm taking universal public healthcare for granted. I guess Obamacare sorta is a step towards that idea in the US?

It's a funny thing this idea of liberty. On the one hand an American citizen is freer in that there are less restrictions on what he can do. On the other hand a German citizen is freer in that he (theoretically) doesn't have to worry about the bare necessities.

As an aside: there's also the idea that basic income would eliminate the need for minimum wages because you can decide to work for pennies without it being exploitative because you would barely suffer any consequence for not taking it. A lot of things would change if unskilled workers wouldn't have to suffer unacceptable working conditions out of fear of unemployment.
This is the kind of thing I think of every time someone suggests that there exist sites that "don't need HTTPS".

All sites need HTTPS, and all protocols need TLS or equivalent; plaintext should never appear on the wire.
He says he picked lead-acid because it's the cheapest and lead is relatively abundant. The situation isn't any better with other technologies.

Even the new liquid-metal "grid-scale" batteries that have been in the news don't work out too well. A while back I ran the numbers to see; to run the world on them we'd need thousands of years' worth of our current annual production of the metals they use.

Storage with hydro works pretty well but it's geographically limited. Murphy wrote another post on that. No way it can scale far enough.

Storage at civilization scale is hard. I think we'll crack fusion first. If not that, then advanced fission (molten salt reactors, fast reactors).
Ultimately, the only rational conclusion I've been able to reach is that the best government is the smallest one. Around here, saying so often gets one downmodded.

It could be because small government advocacy is often associated with dogmatic irrationality. Maybe there's a way to reword rational small-government arguments to make it more clear they have a rational, rather than dogmatic, basis?

It could also be because there's a path dependence issue; how does one actually get from where we are to where a particular argument wants us to be?
I actually want to create a bathdesk. My bathtub is layed out like (cross section)

|
|wall

| |tub| |
| \___/ |___bathroom floor

And I'd make a desk shaped like

_______
| |

So the legs would be like 4 inches and fit into the inside walls of the tub preventing the edge from slipping off the small ledge between the tub and the wall.

That way I could still code with the bathtub more than half full.
One defence could be to detect the gasses and to stain the cash with exploding dye packs, so if the thieves destroy the ATM and grab the money it is permanently marked and traceable back to them.

It shouldn't actually be hard, especially when you look at how our brains lead to a recognizably human intelligence. Problem is, as has been pointed out by Jeff Hawkins, no one in AI research care(d/s) to look at biology to see what might be learned.... So much heat and funding without light.

Edit: this was meant somewhat ironically to get the point across that we can't be expected to succeed with AI unless we know how HI actually works.

I've gotten used to GLOBAL. Basically a nicer version of cscope, from my memories of it. Some of that could just be a better emacs mode, though.

It is funny, because I can not deny that there are more powerful ways of doing searches on source code. However, I think there is a beautiful thing about code that is easily greppable.

+1 to "As with everything it depends"

Personally, when I switched to React, I never turned back. Angular gives you more out of the box but I personally hated that box. I really jive with the React way of doing things and mixins allow you to easily add more functionality like routing, etc.

Is this basically replacing Bitcoins and their proof-of-[useless]-work mining with a new currency whose proof-of-work is useful work (IE, FAH)?

If this is viable, it would be pretty grand. As cool as Bitcoin is, it's sad to me that it just eats up energy/computation time to ground its value. Imagine if all that computation time were put to good, scientific use while still providing the same proof-of-work benefit.
