Maybe we get different search results. When I search for 'perl json' it leads to http://search.cpan.org/~makamaka/JSON-2.90/ which is a mature and easy to use JSON client. It does talk about backwards incompatible changes from version 1.0 -- but that was back in 2007.

When I search for 'ruby json' I get http://ruby-doc.org//stdlib-2.0/libdoc/json/rdoc/JSON.html, which is part of the standard library.

When I search for 'java json' I get several libraries, all of which are actively supported: www.json.org/json, gson, and Jackson.

I don't really understand your comment about significant implementation issues that aren't issues at all with Tcl. Could you give an example? What edge cases aren't covered by the standard Perl and Ruby JSON libraries?

I've had a few conversations with friends about which sport I'd choose to play if I could be a professional in any sport. I think baseball would be at the bottom of my list.

You have to go to the ballpark nearly every single day for almost 8 months. I'm from Detroit and I'm looking at the Tiger's schedule right now. In September they have TWO days in the entire month without a game. By that time they will also be playing doubleheaders or make up games because of weather. In May they go 21 consecutive days with a game. Even if it's not as physically demanding as hockey or american football, that's exhausting. Imagine having to go to the office that much.

On top of that you're playing until nearly November if you're in the World Series and then spring training starts in Feb (it's already started). There's nearly no offseason.
That said, if you can bike or take transit to work, the cost of owning, maintaining, and insuring a $5000 used car to go hiking and surfing isn't very significant.
Is that what you think a sincere question sounds like?

Around here the only real exceptions to that rule are defense contractors. I believe there's something in their contracts with the government where they can charge more for people who have higher degrees, doesn't even matter what type of degree you have.
No, if you're a professional athlete this should not be all that difficult. Boring but not difficult.

Look at the average baseball player. So many of them are plump or overweight. I'd argue that soccer players running 10-15 miles every game have a bit more to deal with.

baseball needs some yoga and proper nutrition.
Google reportedly has a new Chromebook Pixel coming 'soon'
I think you can rate limit without tying it to IP address. If each page returns a session key only valid for the next page request, then you force bots to wait as long as you want and/or spend money on extra memory for parallel sessions. One problem with this is, e.g., if people come to your site from an indexed link and have no possible session yet. In that case you probably would want to add a delay after some amount of requests per IP, so you'd slow Tor users down but only on the first request to your site. If your page is JS or browser dependent in some way, then bots would probably need about 100 MB per thread. All of this is in the ballpark of paying people to solve captchas.

This was a problem before Tor anyhow. You can run a proxy for a few cents a day.

I just don't see how captchas are some awesome solution. In any anti-bot technology, the cost to circumvent it is pennies. It strikes me more as something like DRM which just makes content producers feel good, but really only punishes average people.

edit: sorry I hadn't read your links. Good points and hopefully someone like CloudFlare would make this easy for people to add to their sites.

There was a trend in photography that began at the end of the 19th century called Pictorialism, which emphasized soft focus and significant retouching[1]. It began to fall out of fashion in the nineteen-teens when its most prominent voice, Alfred Stieglitz, embraced modernism[2]. Interestingly, even Ansel Adams started as a pictorialist before embracing "straight" photography. Adams became an incredibly outspoken critic of pictorialism, going so far as to call the last well-known pictorialist, William Mortensen, "the antichrist" years after Mortensen's death[3].

Of course, these things have a way of going full-circle, and—today—digital pictorialism is the big thing. It'll pass in a few years.

> I've always been of the opinion that if it were left up to the private sector we wouldn't have gone to the moon or placed a human in orbit. The project would have been too long term, too risky, and have no obvious return on investment.

So perhaps we shouldn't have done it? We know it is the right decision now, but only given knowledge that we didn't have at the time. If you play a lottery and win, that doesn't mean it was right to play it in the first place. It just means you were lucky.
> At $100-$150/hour $20k/month ranges from doable to dependable.

Err... math is off.

100 (rate) * 7 (full work day, don't get paid for lunch) * 5 (number of days in a week) * 4.3 (number of weeks in a month) = 15,050

That's 15K. And that's assuming you have a 100% full schedule and spend 0 time on invoicing/marketing/non-billable activities. Realistically, you're probably looking at a 10K rate per month with a 100/hour rate.

The only way you'll see 20K is if you're the middle man hiring the help or you're not billing hourly/daily/whatever. Assuming you're not in the business of managing other engineers, not billing on time increments means fixed price jobs.

Unfortunately, there is only a sliver of work that will fit well into that model. Where the job is very well defined, simple enough to do in a few hours, but complex enough that it can't just be handed off to any random joe. Not too many clients with that kind of work on a consistent basis.

So the OP is right, the only way you'll see that kind of money is once in a blue moon, if you specialize in something niche and can charge 250/hour, or if you're managing other people.
Yeah, I'm a hardware engineer, and I've come across code like that! But it's not Tcl's fault that hardware engineers can't write code, or even comments to go with the code.

The Boomers, who are the predominant generation today, grew up on Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov, Star Trek and 2001 and model rocketry. We lived and breathed space exploration.

There is a huge ready-made audience for more great achievements in space. We need national leaders who can inspire the voters to allocate the funding. The last few presidents haven't been very enthusiastic. G.W.Bush actually did have a vision of replacing the Shuttle, but unfortunately he didn't lock in the funding for the replacement Orion/Constellation systems before his term ended, so the U.S. ended up with no means to get humans into orbit, a rather embarrassing predicament for the world's erstwhile leader in space travel.

An easy test to check if your chosen startup name is a good choice
Obviously you were using a small lightweight camera, but a single c-stand and a few sandbags is not really adequate for this sort of work. Yeah, it'll work fine 99 times out of 100. It's the 100th time that you overengineer for. Those rotary clamps sometimes fail, eg because sufficient strain and a history of overtightening causes one of the screw threads to shear, and then your arm slides right out despite the sandbag on the end. In windy environments the momentary strains are much higher than the steady one of the weight.

Had that happened in this case, the arm and the camera would have been traveling at >100mph when it hit the ground, on the busiest streets in the city. When you rig something that could put someone else at risk, rather than just what's attached to the rig, you build with the assumption that each individual component may catastrophically fail.

At the very least, you should have had a second stand farther back with an arm clamped to the near end of your working arm, plus you should have one person on each stand whose only job is to watch the stand. What you have here is OK for the height of a garden shed or the deck of a low-rise apartment building. It's absolutely not OK for the roof of a skyscraper, man.

And that's with the thing just bearing the camera load. You had the models using your load-bearing stand, which you are holding with only one hand, to steady themselves as they step up on the edge wall. They're gripping it well above your point of contact. If one of them lost it, s/he would have pulled the whole rig down, exponentially increasing the chances of the arm coming free. Or the camera coming off its mount. Or the ballast bag on the arm vaulting over the side.

Fort that matter, at the start of the video you're leaning out videotaping yourself with a camcorder that isn't visibly secured to anything and that doesn't have any gaffer's tape securing the battery to the camera. At this height anything that falls presents a deadly danger to the people in the street below. A camcorder battery is certainly heavy enough to kill someone. Sure, you're a careful guy, you've probably never dropped your camera. But even though nobody means to drop a heavy light or an expensive lens or a c-stand or a camera or a sandbag, I've seen it happen many many times in the middle of film production. Shooting without permits is one thing, disregarding well-established safety practices is quite another.
The property speculators don't compete to occupy land though. They purchase it from existing occupants - a group whose net movement is out of London altogether - and then compete to supply it to renters.

The separation between the rental-by-the-room and the market to buy freeholds is well illustrated by the tendency of an influx of property speculators to increase supply in the former at the same time as they unambiguously decrease it in the latter.

The fact that H1B spouses cannot be legally employed is just stupid.

The US needs to get its immigration together. Fix the law, decrease or increase the cap, stop the H1B program - but please be reasonable. Quality immigrants are more likely to have quality spouses. On the other hand, a mediocre programmer with his housewife will happily jump on the H1B train even if it means she will be unemployed, because that is already a huge quality of life boost for both them.

I would never take the H1B route if I were married, unless I was sure that my wife is OK with that. And I would have to be really, really sure - because that's locking into a situation for years.

You'd have to limit novel sessions to very low activity rates. That would require some sort of persistence token (not necessarily a cookie), and if provided on an anonymised basis, one that's verifiable but not predictable or traceable to prior cookies. Which is what much of the references I provided covers.

Sorting a mechanism for allocating those tokens' seed values is difficult. FAUST requires an unblinded token request initially.

CAPTCHAs had been useful, though always problematic. The goal isn't perfection but costs. Problem is that costs keep falling.
I believe someone setting up a way to broker first customers to become stakeholders in new companies for pre-paying for services would be huge. I've been in a situation where that would have been totally warranted and valuable, but instead we had to spend months proving to that customer other ways that working with us was properly de-risked. They would have been happy to just take the risk if there was a plug and play model to reward them for it, and I think many other companies are in similar situations (depending on what part of their business you touch/would effect).

Another model that I do not personally believe in but seems promising to others I respect is https://assembly.com - they work to bring teams together to build things and have gamified equity comp. You can even go in there and squash an important bug on a project and get equity in the project forever (ostensibly) for doing it based on the "bounty" that is set.

The article does a good job to back this claim up, but it fails to raise an even bigger point -- "Regulated" money in banks (like HSBC [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/18/hsbc-terrorists_n_4... ]) is regularly used to fund terrorism with zero consequences, and it's a theoretically legal and above-board bank.

More detail on browser limitations would be nice. I know the article states you can ship builds in 32-bit browsers, but are there any significant limitations involved? This would be problematic since, for example, Chrome 64-bit isn't yet the default release build.

I really wish there was more comprehensive documentation relating to UE4's limitations in a WebGL context. For example, lighting, shading, post-process effects, anti-aliasing, how they all behave relative to a full-featured desktop environment. The same thing for mobile compile targets wouldn't be a bad idea, either.

Also, it seems some otherwise popular third party plugins aren't supported in UE4 WebGL projects:

https://forums.coherent-labs.com/index.php?topic=691.0

I understand Coherent's reasoning, but I imagine developers who built their UE4 projects with Coherent UI aren't very happy that their prospects of easily compiling to WebGL are non-existent due to the total headache involved. Plus, webkit.js for UE4 would be really cool, and that's essentially what CUI running in a UE4 web-exported context would be.

Despite all this I'm really happy for this release, and ultimately it's a huge step in the right direction.

The others will do as you want if they can tell what you want and it's reasonable. If you pick a short, readable license your chances are good. One of the BSD licenses will do.
Beware, there are many times where my gut has been right over my logic. Don't deny the intelligence of your gut. Your brain has subconscious processes that are just as intelligent as your conscious processes.

Your gut often does follow some kind of logic, it's just you don't have access to what it did to arrive at that uneasy feeling in your stomach.

Though you don't realize it but our ability to see in three dimensions is a subconscious process. If you look at a cube you cannot choose how or when you process that image. In fact you don't even have a choice, once you look at a cube your brain forces you to know what you're looking at. Additionally, you don't even know what your brain did to interoperate that image as a cube. Yet you do know that there is some powerful subconscious calculation going on that derives that analysis.

In short, don't underestimate your gut.
They also can't be remotely stolen from you like when proprietary reading devices wiped ebooks for various copyright changes, and the print edition can't be quietly changed. Print requires errata or apologies from newspapers about corrections but ninja editing is too easy with digital.
The ideal would be for someone to figure out how to make money in space. Once you harness the mighty power of greed, nothing short of all-out war would be able to keep humans out of space. But that's proved to be a bit of a tall bar, unfortunately, which in itself sort of raises questions about the actual utility of space anew after 50 years. But before quite making that call let's see what knocking another order of magnitude off launch costs does for us.

But I find myself often thinking that space just isn't viable for very many uses without a still-higher level of technology than we have.
Market cap is calculated by outstanding shares * share price. A company buying back its shares shouldn't affect the outstanding shares figure, because it already includes it.

However now that there are less publicly available shares available on the market, the share price should go up, as long as there is demand. By how much, I don't know, perhaps it ends up making Apple more valuable.
> If you came to me tomorrow and said "I want to build a language just like C but with non-contiguous stacks" I agree, I would use LLVM or GCC. But that's not what happened.

Except that is exactly what happened. Russ says: "segmented stacks; we had to build that, so it was going to be incompatible from day one."

That's the rationalization though. It wasn't about features that you can all but do in plain ANSI C being 'too hard'. We all know what really happened is that they were comfortable with their Plan 9 toolchain and made a demo using it... which is fine. Then they continued to develop their demo for 5 years instead of throwing it out and doing it right, and now they are stuck having to make excuses for why their compiler and assembler and linker and runtime and tools are sub-par.
> "The real missing part of this article is that NASA's budget is dominated by building launchers."

This is one of the reasons I am so excited for Russia's OPSEK, which is to be their successor to ISS and used for orbital assembly of interplanetary spacecraft. I think it is a much more straightforward plan than building ever-larger launchers to hoist interplanetary spacecraft all in one go.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_Piloted_Assembly_and_Ex...

Don't get me wrong, I like SLS and the BFR/MCT concept (what little we have actually seen of it anyway...) and think/hope NASA and SpaceX can pull those off, but if I were in charge of allocating funding, I'd throw my money at OPSEK.
