I can't see myself really needing to apply any Linear Algebra concepts writing a Wolfenstein clone in Unity3D. It does everything for you like that (shader graphics, collision detection, vector math, etc). All you'd have to do is code some simple AI for the enemy gameobjects and make the player gameobject in the standard FPS shooting format, which there are pre-built defaults for in the example projects. The majority of this project would be copy and paste with minor modifications.

Yeah. Trade off is whether changing the code (which may have been referenced everywhere in the codebase) every time this happens cost more (in dev and debugging time) than not using the singleton in the first case.

It's things like this that turn a 'sure, we can make this game split-screen' into 'you didnt tell us you wanted split screen, that's gonna take a while'.

>The airlines are shafting customers while making more money than ever before.

Air travel in the US is hardly a lucrative business. It's a tough racket:

"Domestic passenger airline operations lost $10 billion from 1979 to 1989, made profits of $5 billion in the 1990s and lost $54 billion from 2000 to 2009. To put these numbers in context, at the end of 2009, the entire book value of U.S. passenger carriers’ assets was about $163 billion and the book value of shareholder equity was $10 billion. Even at the end of 2000, after six consecutive profitable years, their assets were $159 billion and shareholder equity was $40 billion."

If the mining are done at Google Cloud Storage, initiated by a google search bot, can't Google then identify and handle such abuse? I assume Google already scans for multiple types of abuse, such as sites that spread malware.
This may be true for mathematics in the analytical tradition (things like Topology, Measure Theory, Real/Complex Analysis), but Linear Algebra is far more important in, unsurprisingly, algebraic disciplines. These include Number Theory, Field Theory, and Mathematical Logic.

While studying mathematics in college, once I had finished my Real Analysis requirement, I jumped headfirst into the algebraic side of things and never found myself using any sort of calculus. Even in my Topology course, we focused much more on using techniques from Real Analysis than specifically calculus topics (the former just being a generalization of the latter).

Probability theory is somewhat deceptive in its classification, since much of it "feels" a lot like a discrete mathematics course; however, much of the concepts, like you say, are underpinned by measure-theoretic principles, which is heavily analytic. It makes sense that calculus would come in handy in a much deeper study of probability theory.
I agree although I work in robotics / computer vision.

What I wish I had done a lot more of is statistics. Being able to reason about probabilities clearly, getting an idea of how a system performs given various variables, and most importantly, being able to communicate this to others has been very useful to me. I think anyone (front end, backend, etc) can benefit from learning about statistics.

What level of paranoia is too paranoid, and why?

Three years ago, almost everyone laughed at folks who claimed the NSA was watching everyone. Now, it's an article of faith, and there's some evidence that people have changed behavior because of that faith.

Any sufficiently advanced level of precaution is indistinguishable from paranoia. That East German activist was probably a little puzzled by flat bicycle tires, but probably shrugged it off. What are we all shrugging off today? Stock market weirdness? Oh, that's just HFT, right?

It's known that folks profited off of "top secret" CIA-led coups in the 1950s (http://tuvalu.santafe.edu/~snaidu/papers/coups.pdf), so it's not out of the realm of reason to look at the stock market today to see if the current "intelligence community" is profiting.
It's not binary, from an objective perspective. The thing is, if you even think that his advice might apply to your situation, the exec in question has lost your respect. That means that they lost their reports' respect several months ago (the CEO is always the last to know), and you have a major problem on your hands.

Vendor lockin is certainly huge (especially data for Google to drive their main ad business), but Apple's app store is a fraction (something like 15b/180b.

It sounds like you care more about google traffic than you care about real users, if you want to do this without having more than a few entries in your robots.txt and your sitemap then you could simply remove the other pages until you're ready to have them spidered, alternatively have them behind a login and hand out invitations.

In a nutshell, if you put up millions of pages and tell google about it it will index you, if you don't want that you'll have to make choices about the quantity and/or switch to a different kind of host.

Also, this kind of 'bot trap' tends to attract penalties so if this is not some ploy to get traffic out of google you may want to re-consider how you've laid things out, the difference between a legitimate site with a lot of generated pages and a page-spammer is hard to determine and google tends to err on the side of caution.

> libressl's binary is already half the size of openssl

What does binary size have to do with quality?

OpenSSL has been around for a long time, and still is the standard for most deployments. It will take a long time before LibreSSL has been proven enough to become the standard for anything outside the BSD community.

For as nasty as the OpenSSL code appears to be, it sure did work (and worked well) for a long time.

Remember, OpenSSL really only had 1 developer and only received around $2,000 a year in donations prior to Heartbleed[1] (which is grossly pathetic for such a critical piece of software).

If those numbers had been tenfold or more, perhaps the bugs that led to Heartbleed may have been found and fixed long before they were an issue.

Thankfully the Linux Foundation and the Core Infrastructure Initiative are aiming to remedy this.

Yes, breakfast, (packed) lunch, and dinner for 2 people 7 days a week (eat out for about 3 meals per week).

1. If you do it a lot, you get better at it.

2. Cook in bulk -- I make all lunches for the week at once (mostly salads with a protein). Slow cook a big piece of meat almost every week, and if not, roast a chicken or something like that. Almost every dinner I make is for at least 2 (maybe 3) meals. I freeze if I'm sick of it.

3. If you are just starting, it's ok to start with easy things that are more ready-made (as long as you have to do something). The habit you want is preparing rather than going out or delivery. Gradually increase the difficulty as you can handle it.

To answer your specific question, stove, oven, slow cooker. If you do it, having a good knife and pans is nice.
Then you have a singleton containing singleton pools.
I everyone had boxes like this, then yes, great, we'd not need reliable publicly accessible stratum 1 servers. But most people don't.

Um. We have "reliable publicly accessible stratum 1 servers".

Regardless of what happens with the NTPd software, Google will probably continue to provide time1-4.google.com.

NIST will not shut down their timeservers.

And the 3654 servers in pool.ntp.org[1] (which seems to be maintained by a different guy) also won't just disappear overnight, though I'm not sure if these are Stratum 1 (probably not).

I still don't understand what exactly this guy is doing that should cost more than the $7k/mo that he's getting, much less the "$X0 million a year" that vinceguidry wants to allocate to the task.

Yeah. GP's point is just plain wrong, if he was concerned about 3rd party stuff lasting for more than one phone purchase, iPhones are clearly the winner with only have two connector options since 2008 while keeping their form factor consistent for two generations (and there are adapters for the first switch, and possibly a third switch this fall, where adapters are still plausible all the way back to original accessories).

Samsung and most other Android manufacturers aren't even guaranteed to maintain physical dimension compatibility between different models of the same exact phone (S6 vs S6 Edge, for example), let alone if you were to just stay with Android as an OS and were switching between manufacturers each upgrade. No way in hell you're keeping any nice-fitting docks or cases around for more than one Android phone purchase.

> If it was a honest competitive market the fuel cost savings would be passed on to the customers.

This, in fact, did happen during the oil boom of the mid-to-late 2000s. Southwest had the foresight to purchase a ton of oil futures back when it was cheap, and nearly slaughtered the primary carriers by pricing fares at levels they couldn't hope to match in the current market.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/28/business/worldbusiness/28i...

With respect to "shafting consumers," airfare is cheaper than it's ever been. And if you've ever followed the market, airlines have rarely been steady bastions of profit like banks or (recently) Apple or Google - it seemed like at least one was going bankrupt every year until recently.

I don't blame Google at all for this. The blame lies squarely with fucking arseholes who have no concept of me not wanting their shitty fucking email.

Our story with Amazon Glacier (50TB):, we are a company with 50TB of data on multiple Servers and NAS, and some External drives, most of the data we needed to save/Archive for 10 years at least, it’s starting to become very hard to manage locally, so we saw glacier a great solution for us! Well, not exactly

We tried to manually using it, like APIs, Scripts, etc… it’s impossible, it was very had

So we tried cloudberry to help us upload, it will upload but also It won’t work for huge data, with glacier you won’t be able to search, list, find any file you want to download easily, also its not practical to manage all the backup and millions of files manually, also we got millions of photos we needed a way to find them easily like thumbs
So Glacier had so many restrictions like 3-5 hours restore time, 5% restore quota hard to use even with utilizes like cloudberry, cant list, search, it’s not useable as its! But the price was attractive

We considered Seagate Evault , but it was expensive and so many hidden fees and complicated for our case
Then we tired another solution called Zoolz ( http://www.zoolz.com ), Zoolz does not use your own AWS Account, but utilize their own account and from what I heard from them they got 5 Petabyte, so they got massive restore quota, around 5% of the 5 Petabyte, also its simple to use, they offer Zero restore cost, it’s like Mozy or Crashplan but for business and on glacier , like they internally create thumbs for your photos and store it on S3, so you have instant preview, also you will be able to search and browse your data easily and instantly, they got Servers and Polices, and got a reasonable price, all we wanted , we got the 50TB for $12,000 / year, its more expensive than using Glacier by itself, using Glacier will cost around $6000, but its not practical for a company to use it as a standalone storage

The only disadvantage is that when/if we needed a file we have to wait 4 hours to get it, which is fair, it was faster than when we used to use Tapes :), awe tried to restore 1 TB with 1.2 million files, it took us around 10 hours to complete, which was okay

You can easily tell Google not to index your site with a robots.txt -- although you probably don't want to.

You can also tell Google to index your site more slowly, in Google WebMaster Tools, although if I remember right the setting expires every few months, and needs to be reset.

The odd thing here IS that webmaster tools won't let him restrict the crawl rate, that's very odd.

(Also, it would be nice if you could restrict crawl rate in robots.txt, not just webmaster tools).

In the end though, if your business is going to depend on Google indexing it, then you don't really want to tell Google not to -- or, really even to tell it to index more slowly. But a robots.txt can be a temporary measure while you figure out what to do -- if you want Google to index your site, you've got to make your site able to stand up to googlebot traffic. Caching is often pretty helpful, and can help with your site's reliability and performance beyond googlebot issues.

That's kind of just the way it is, right? If you want google index, you've got to be able to handle googlebot. Nothing too shocking here?

Caching is definitely something to look into, that can improve the reliability and performance of your site beyond just dealing with googlebot.

I guess the odd thing is that Webmaster Tools is not letting the author rate-limit. And it would be really nice if google defined and respected some extension to robots.txt to do it there. I guess you could always rate-limit google bot with your own firewall-ish tools, but it might make googlebot mad and you might get even less indexing than you wanted.

Really, if your product's success depends on google indexing it, you don't want to slow it down anyway, except maybe as a temporary measure -- you're going to have to figure out how to handle it. People are usually complaining about how to make sure googlebot comes to _more_ of their site _more often_, not the reverse!

Many of these responses hilariously demonstrate why enterprise software interaction design is so poor: the market simply doesn't care.

The root cause is not that enterprise software vendors have no taste, it's that the stakeholders involved in the procurement process don't value interaction design. Like any market, it's likely that the vendors that are successful value those things that their customers value, and interaction design is not one of those things.

The vendors that are passionate about design eventually do something else, because their work isn't valued by the enterprise market. The vendors that remain in the market either don't value design or aren't committed to it. And, by extension, the best designers don't stick around in companies where their talents aren't valued.

This sounds like a bad and unsustainable idea, with capital B and U. Shouldn't it be the responsibility of the vendor to provide a driver? Why would you put the burden to deal with all kinds of clock hardware onto someone maintaining a network protocol implementation? I could see reasons to have one or three or so generic drivers, but if the vendor comes up with something fancy not covered by one of the few generic drivers it should be their responsibility to provide a suitable driver.

Exactly, the "Singleton" pattern should only be used when having two instances of one object will be catastrophic. In all other situations where you only think you want one of a class, dependency injection handles that. A good DI container will even keep track of your pseudo-singleton for you.

Then unit testing becomes feasible again, without having to hack around that Class X is using the "ConnectionManager" to connect to the database behind your back.
Yes.

I cook everyday. I cook from scratch mostly. I consider myself a competent by low-skill cook. I can follow a recipe and it normally works; I can bake bread, cakes, cookies and they all work well.

Microwave or slow cooker are most common (I have managed to drastically reduce my energy use); all in one on an electric hob (I'd prefer gas hob) and rarely in the electric oven.

I'd like to cook in bulk and then freeze the food but I have a big fridge and tiny freezer which is frustrating and sub-optimal.
