I am a little concerned about doing that though. Having seen sites killed stone dead by people blocking stuff by mistake in robots.txt and the engines then never looking at them again I'm very wary indeed of blocking stuff I intend later to unblock.

Yes, it’s really well written
This is typical BBC though…

When the original BBC Micro came out they could have easily based their programming around the Spectrum or other computer than was in the market.

Now when there are already credible alternatives in the micro market - Arduino, Pi etc. - they choose to have their own 'designed'.

I suppose I should be happy that they're spending the license money I'm forced to pay on this rather than crap like Eastenders.

Fundementally it show the BBC with it's soft funding is out of control and looking for a purpose.
One of the co-founders of CoFounder here.

It seems a little weird that just about a year ago, I thought that going back to print is crazy and yet here we are. Exciting.

Happy to answer any questions about CoFounder, ArcticStartup, media in general (I am also involved in #EUTechWriters), etc.
It's pretty clear to me that the OP just used the word cliche where it didn't belong. Fortunately the idea still came across. Perhaps you were truly confused, but it sounds more like you're playing dumb to force the OP to admit the mistake.
With such a small pcb and so few external components, even an amateur with a little luck might get this to work.

Apple Explores a Smart Dock for iPhone That Could Also Act as a HomeKit Hub
See my reply to jacquesm above. Very wary of blocking, as sometimes persuading the engine you've unblocked it afterwards is nigh-on impossible.
It's weird that Google is charging for the GoogleBot bandwidth on its own services. Of course they absolutely don't have to do it, but stories like this make me worry about using the Google Cloud Storage.

[edit] That being said, the issue would be the same if it was another hoster or another search engine. I guess the real solution would be to be able to limit the crawl rate, as the OP said.
There’s probably a lot more than what is obvious here.

Compare a modern clip to something that was made in the 70/80s. I guess it does take some skill to not end up with 2 bodies just lying atop each other and properly cutting away the boring/disgusting stuff while still maintaining some "flow".

And there’s lots and lots of competition .. so differentiating on quality might still be worthwhile, despite it possibly not being the most important factor.
Feel the same too!
Looks like you're based in the US. In the UK making sure you don't fritter away SEIS money is enormously important. Effectively you have an £150k allocation up to which investors can claim 50% relief in the form of income tax deductions (plus many other great things).

Whatever reason the accelerator is doing it for (whether good or bad for them) is bad for the company if it's losing some of it's allocation without seeing the money. A lot of early stage investors won't touch a non-SEIS deal.

Edit: Also for every YC/Techstars/500 there's a 100 "incubators" that overcharge and underdeliver.
Are there people who have more experience with comparative workflow managers who can quickly see the pros and cons of Pinball vs. Luigi?

I took a 3d graphics programming course where we built our own raytracer for our final project. We learned the math for a few different intersections in order to make the raytracer. So if they offered it, that would have been the course to take.
All the Apple laptop and iPad adapters I've gotten accept a standard figure-8 cord if you just slide off the national plug. For my it's the slim cord between the charger and the machine that wears out.
How big is the site? I have rented a dedicated server with 100MBit unmetered and 1TB storage, 16GB ram and 2 xeon cpu's for under €100 a month; maybe it's better to look at such an option instead.
Comparing similar models at exactly the same price, similar weight and form factor (top of the line Pixel vs. base Macbook Pro 13), information taken from Apple Store and Ars review of the Pixel:

The Pixel has:

Better processor (i7 2.6Ghz vs i5 2.7Ghz)

Slightly better resolution (2560×1700 vs 2560x1600)

Double the RAM (16GB vs 8GB)

The Macbook has:

Double the SSD storage (128 GB vs 64 GB)

Better integrated GPU (Iris Pro 6100 vs HD5500)

So I would say there is no clear-cut winner.

Regardless what people thinks, the base specs for the Pros are quite fair for the price.

EDIT: I was forgetting that the Pixel has a touchscreen display, somehting that Apple doesn't offer at all, at the moment.
To further add to this, it's not necessarily the fact that they take a service charge that I take issue with. It's the complete lack of transparency up-front and only once you're close to getting on the program that it's ever disclosed.
This article is somewhat unclear as it makes no distinction as to how many of those killed were militants. It's portrayed simply as either high value targets or "unknown", implied as civilians.
:( I would prefer more competition.
well said. Also the author ignores the fact that changing design in enterprise sw is difficult because it impacts the user familiarity of the product they have become used to.
Have you come across Sekret Firmy, the Russian startup magazine? I found it surprisingly good: http://www.kommersant.ru/sf/

Kill that guy. The force of his personality is what's holding his local power structure together, and if he's dead there's a good chance that the whole thing will collapse

This is true. But what happens next? A collapsed power structure is not a nice place to live. Someone has to deal with crime, resources, arbitration, and taking out the rubbish (qv http://www.luton-dunstable.co.uk/Luton-ISIS-recruit-Abu-Aziz... ). So another person steps up to fill that role. Unsurprisingly, he has to deal with the power structure of the region that he finds around him, so he makes deals; and he has to deal with bandits, so he makes a militia. Until he makes his way to the top of the US kill list, perhaps by phoning the wrong person.

"Local warlord" is a position, not a person. The replacement for warlordism is an accountable rights-respecting impartial justice system. Nothing less will do. You can't deal with injustice by committing more injustice. You can't eradicate violence with more violence. This isn't a Clint Eastwood movie, you can't just ride in, shoot some designated bad guys, and ride out again with everything fixed.

Also, would the US rather have an anti-US warlord who deals fairly with his own people or a pro-US one who is corrupt? The treatment of Latin America shows quite clearly that they'd prefer the latter.

Unfortunately as soon as you say, "So let's apply justice to the middle east", you trip face-first over the Palestinian question.

I don't really think the drones are the problem.

The problems are:

- Lack of intelligence. The drone may be hovering overhead, but you still need local intel. Which is unrealiable

- The weapons are not designed for the task. A hellfire missile is not the right weapon to target a single individual. There will be collateral damage unless the target is standing in a deserted area by himself. Also, while the hellfire may be supersonic, the travel time is still significant and other people may move next to the target

- Armed drones are not really what's needed. Anarchic organizations are not well suited for a decapitation strike. The next strong person will take the leader's place. At most, you buy some time while there's a power struggle. Also, killing religious leaders turns them into martyrs.

- And last, but not least: who judged those people? Serial killers are taken to the court, which then decides their fate. Deadly force is not automatically authorized even for such dangerous individuals. Too dangerous to apprehend those extremists? Well, I imagine such a wealthy nation can figure out ways around it.

Then again, a drone is an expensive machine which keeps contractors happy. And 'lets kill that asshole' is an easier sell than investing in intelligence and long term planning.
It doesn't have custom allocator support as in "you can't have one function allocate memory and pass it for another function to use it", or as in "you can't replace the runtime's own malloc"? OpenSSL were doing the former, not the latter.

(Edit: I'm really really curious, not necessarily trying to prove a point. I deal with low-level code in safety-critical (think medical) stuff every day, and only lack of time is what makes me procrastinate that week when I'm finally going to learn Rust)

Absolutely, It's only coincidence that Google are both the host and the spider. I really would appreciate the ability to throttle it though.
CEOs brought in from the outside are free agents. Founder CEOs (especially first-time founder CEOs) are draft picks. You don't bring in a free agent in order to develop them, unless they're a reclamation project, you were able to get them cheap, and you have a hole in your team that you really can't fill a better way. Rather, you bring in the free agent to elevate your team immediately and give you a shot at a championship trophy.
From the article:

"Apple Macintosh computers and servers running OSX use NTP, and Stenn said Apple developers have called him for help on several NTP issues. In the last such incident, he said he delayed a patch to give Apple more time to prepare OS X for it. When they were ready, he applied the patch and asked "whether Apple could send a donation to the Network Time Foundation," Stenn recalled. "They said they would do their best to see that Apple throws some money our way." But it hasn't happened yet."

Surely, he needs to say upfront that there is a consultancy fee. I'm sure most big companies can't make donations easily, what they can do is pay for services and products which they do all day, everyday.

Applying Machine Learning to Peer to Peer Lending
until I read Jim Hefferon's free textbook

I still prefer reading textbooks in paper, and one interesting note: it looks like a couple of companies and individuals are offering paper copies on Amazon, but none of them appear to be Henderson himself.

And the companies or individual offering paper copies still charge $20 – $30!
I took a quick look. From the paper:

>Past year mental health indicators new to this study were suicide thoughts, suicide plan...[etc]

So, it looks like 'past year' applies to all of the terms. I think the study was looking at the long term effects, so if people who quit long ago didn't report any issues, that would support the thesis that 'taking psychedelics doesn't affect long term mental health'. I'm generally not a fan of studies about illegal activity that use voluntary surveys, but this one doesn't look poorly run. However, once you start putting maths to psychology, things get weird very quickly and it's difficult to tell what's valid and what isn't.
>(no need for WinZip or WinRAR - think about it!)

I'd be surprised if compressor utilities running through Cygwin's emulation layer could achieve the same speed as a native tool. 7-zip is an open source tool that will handle all your compression / decompression needs on Windows (including rar, gz, many self-extracting exes, and a bunch of very exotic formats). You should really give it a try if you're compressing or decompressing large archives on Windows.

Really big :)

Its source is the English language, so if there's a word or phrase that gets used, it has a result. Corpus linguistics is fun like that.
Yes, if you are wealthy and live on a high tech world. But Traveller Tech Level is defined as the maximum level an economy can sustain with a population of 10 ^ TL. So 10 people, even with books of knowledge will be at TL:1 bronce age within a few generations. 100 people at iron age and so on till Tl:8 is our current knowledge, its not 9 because most parts of population does is to poor and not yet educated to participate in the economy.

And Tl:9 of course offers the first future techs, e.g. fusion reactors. Tl:A reliable interstellar travel and automatic factories, and huge progress in the high times of big trade empires spanning years of FTL travel, and the collapse of civilization, technology and dark ages, when ever those empires fall.

Living at Tl:F and being wealthy could buy you a lot of years, before you need to worry about age. But I was restricting my idea of a "better" assignment to Tl:8. So you can imagine every career path here and now, e.g. odd ones you never want to live in real life like the doctor who works for crime syndicate (above example), but that is fun in a role playing game, or would make a good trope in a novel or film.
What's the point of letting Google index a site that nobody can get to? I'm pretty sure you're going to tank in their rankings anyway for your site being so sporadically available.

I'd probably go for not allowing spiders to crawl more than a few chosen pages (home, about, etc) until you have enough revenue to support it going to other pages.
That isn't wrong, but a bit oversimplified.
The difference between streaming and Torrents is that it's easy to get hold of the IP addresses of Torrent users but
difficult for streamers[1].

The situation is special in Germany because:

1. It is possible go get the name and postal addresses if
you have the IP address. The lawyer just asserts
infringement and the prosecutor will hand it over.

2. Legal fees for cease and desist letters are based on the
amount in controversy and to be paid by the addressee.

No lawsuit will be filed, just a cease and desist letter sent with a fictitious amount. People will pay out of fear,
it's border line extortion.

As far as I can tell, Torrents are dead in Germany.

It's either worthless or very valuable. It can't be both.
The worst one I got was a legitimate email from Origin telling me that my password was changed.....someone broke into my account and changed everything they could.
It went to Gmail's spam,because whoever broke into my account changed the language to Russian - so the email from Origin arrived in Russian and automatically went into spam - even though it was completely legitimate.
I see two problems:

1) Beautiful design takes lots of effort. Making sure that texts and buttons align, choosing color schemes, takes a lot of time. A large fraction of the code is UI code, so minimizing the amount of time spent on coding the UI is a quick way to safe time and money.

2) Beautiful design requires authority. When you make a twitter client, you can just scrap that confusing feature that noone will use. In enterprise world, you need to implement every stupid feature the client wants even if it makes the product worse. No amount of taste or design can fix an interface that is broken in principle.
Thanks very much, never saw that!
> But what has [virtual DOM] got to do with reactive programming? Or embedding markup in JavaScript?

It makes it possible to implement React's componentisation model in a performant manner.

It allows React to not only work in all major browsers today, but to use its SyntheticEvent implementation to patch up and normalise aspects of their behaviour which are important when writing webapps.

While React's ideas about data flow might not be new, the componentisation model it uses to implement them makes it incredibly easy to compose and reuse UI components, with a well-defined method of passing data between them and controlling re-rendering.

It allows React components to be easily pre-rendered on the server and rehydrated to be interactive on the client from the initial markup using the same codebase, making progressive enhancement easier to implement, therefore more likely to be implemented.

That's why the virtual DOM isn't the most interesting thing about React, rather what it enables.

It would be nice if native Web Components just worked everywhere right now, but they don't. Maybe some day React will just another way to implement the innards of a native Web Component, but at the moment it's just better then them.
I've been eating soylent for "utility" meals for about 2 weeks now and I couldn't be happier with the product. I usually eat one meal a day for the satisfaction of eating food, but it's nice not having to deal with preparation for the breakfast or lunch at work. This article is even slightly outdated as soylent 1.4 was released a couple of weeks ago.
In libraries and many kinds of software, yes, especially on the web. However in games it can often be quite reasonable to use singletons. He gives a great example with TheVoip. You're extremely unlikely to have a game that actually needs to handle multiple voip connections at the same time, nevermind voice inputs.
Tableau's design is pretty tasteful.

I believe MS wants you to use remote Powershell instead of SSH.
My first thought was "Print? How quaint." but it's a lot better for archival purposes and consumers expect online articles for free, but print is not perceived as worthless to the same degree.
The non-design is often a feature and a selling point for these vendors.

There are some simple reasons that these might go against current trends in design - for example, these need to be high-information density displays, not minimalist showpieces. This gives plenty of room to ship something that is suboptimal, but to market it to the customer as clearly more functional, BECAUSE it's ugly.

I really think that UX can be improved, and better design could squeeze more efficiency out of these systems, but this thought process - that ugly directly means functional - actually does move a lot of software.
I laughed when I read the complaint about the "embarrassing lack of spaces"... Add the generous amount of space any fancy à la page UI needs and try to keep the all the functionality these apps have, you'll need way more than a 4k screen for it to fit the screen.

No, less is not always better.
And that's why I browse through Tor. Accessing Pastebin or Slideshare gets me a similar page.

Turning Ph.D.s into industrial data scientists and data engineers
Well, I'm not responsible for your code, so you do whatever you want. But this, for me, is like being Van Halen and seeing brown M&Ms in the bowl. It's a red flag when I see that syntax in code that I should be much more defensive about what's happening everywhere else. There are no assurances about data, especially about data coming across the network.
Right, tl;dr: No.
That would put it at running at roughly 6W and the 60W charger is only being used at 48W.
Good design is subjective. What you or I might think is good design, someone else will think is wasteful because it has too much white space.

Believe it or not, the customers for enterprise software usually want the software to pack as much information onto a single page. It might look nasty to you, but it's what the customer wants.

That's not to say it couldn't be organized better or cleaner, everything can always be improved.

But you're mistaking your own opinion for universal fact.
In my limited experience, Xming worked fine for that use case.
My first thought when Tarmo came up to us too. But after a while, I realized many things which are very neat about print.

Just the freedom of not caring about traffic for example. That means that traffic does not affect your content at all. No click-bait stories, no content that tries to force users to go somewhere. Just pure journalism.
Or they'll chop off their heads on camera, but hey, same difference.

I thought about that too (I'm a Googler working on cloud), but then a colleague mentioned that this would become a way to get free computation from Google.
