Ignoring a lot of caveats, that means that the labor they were providing was worth less than $40k to them. It says nothing about how much the labor was worth to the company. That the company was willing to pay them $40k says their labor was, with similar caveats, worth at least $40k but there is no implied upper bound.
Apparently, you have to request a quorum, and even then the quorum has to be assembled in 15mins, or else it's ignored and the vote goes ahead anyway to prevent 'obstruction': http://www2.assemblee-nationale.fr/decouvrir-l-assemblee/rol...

I think the point is that these sites get an efficient solution for free rather than spending time and resources on designing and implementing sharding. Just because it's common for sites with loading time constraints doesn't mean they wouldn't have been a whole lot happier to not have to have dealt with it.
I've been using Postgres for years and have never heard of Foreign Data Wrappers. A project I'm working on is using both Postgres (PostGIS in particular) and MongoDB, so this would appear to be of use, but I'm not seeing a lot of performance information anywhere. The documentation just states that "there is considerable room for future performance improvements" [0], which makes me a little hesitant.

I guess I'm among the minority of people who use google maps just to look up directions, see traffic, and look up nearby businesses, and that's enough for me. The one feature I don't see though is the ability do traffic estimations which was convenient.

I know the team will get there, I cannot fully support their decision to disable old maps but I can understand it. Most of flame in that thread is unfortunate and unnecessary and reminds me of this comic where in the first panel someone introduces a new feature, the customer complains and moans, and say the first version was good enough, then the next panel they introduce yet another version and it's the same behavior as the first panel, they want the one that is just about to get taken from them, always and forever.

I use google maps for about 15-20 minutes a day, every day. I didn't even realize we had been upgraded to a new version - Just took a quick peek, and the 4-5 things I do (Satellite, Transit, Traffic, Address Lookup, Driving Directions, Street View) - all seem to work pretty much the same on both maps - the newer interface seems to be more modern to me.

I have to believe, based on my what I would consider my own moderate google maps power users perspective, that fewer than 1% of google maps users will have any issues with this change.

Have you thought much about address space randomization? It's a reasonably effective security strategy, but it essentially requires enough unused bits in the address space. If you have a system with one big memory space, presumably your address space is now more precious, or do you still have enough bits for randomization (both in the local and the global spaces).

When you can spend longer up front optimizing the concatenation, minification, and compression, you can amortize that additional cost across every request and still make important incremental gains.

It's the later. Every other possible use of the technology is just speculation at this point.
As someone who leaps in and out of both Operating Systems on a daily basis, it really isn't that difficult.

The thing you have to watch out for is how well your tech stack is supported. If I know I'm supporting Windows I will not write the software in Ruby as their Windows support is atrocious (honestly Python isn't much better imo, but I have less personal experience with it).

If I'm developing .Net/C# I'll use Windows for Visual Studio, even if I"m supporting Mono because the environment is just better.

If I'm working on a PHP project I'll do it Linux even if it's meant to run on Windows because, again, the environment there is just better for the development.

It isn't about the OS itself. There is some friction there in terms of familiarity with editors, etc, but most of the friction is about the technology you're using.
Even where there's no constitutional requirement to have a quorum for votes, it's still possible to have a rule of order requiring a quorum before a vote can take place.

Ireland is an example of this: for there to be a quorum in either house, at least twenty members have to be present. This means at least 1/3 of the Seanad (upper house, 60 seats) or 12% of the Dáil (lower house, 166 seats) must be present for either to form a quorum. That's not written in the constitution, but a standing order of the Oireachtas (parliament).

Even if France has no such requirement in its constitution, it's ridiculous that there isn't at least a parliamentary rule of order requiring it.

iOS can mix audio while preserving low latency. It works much better because CoreAudio is basically a full audio routing and mixing engine and forces more realtime-ish requirements on implementations. The system level engine just takes audio from apps as if they were submixers.

None of that stops you from having a high-level API on top, and in fact iOS has several at different levels of abstraction: AVAudioEngine gives you a lighter weight but object-oriented engine that's less complex to setup. AVAudioPlayer handles almost everything for you.

As far as me is concerned to call something a red pill , it will have to offer a very diffirent experience. Thats is definetly not the case when it comes to coding, where you have the same old same recipe with some new things here and there. This is why also it took me so long to get used doing things in Pharo compared to learning another programming language which would be far faster. Pharo requires a rethinking of the fundamentals of the coding workflow.

You could argue that some language like Lisp requires the same, but the problem is that Lisp is just a language, Pharo is a lot more than that.

So for me, Pharo is the only "red pill" I can think of. Not because its diffirent but because is so fundamentally diffirent. Everything else is just blue pills with some red spots here and there. Thus I cant call Pharo
, "a" red pill.

But if you have something else that is as diffirent as Pharo is I am mostly welcome the info , love to try fresh approaches to coding :)

Another thing to note here is that I dont use the term "red pill" to identify it as something superior. Its not superior , far from it , it come with its own problems and weaknesses. Pharo is neither a paradise or a utopia.

Pharo is not for everyone but for specific people looking for a very diffirent way of coding. But even they may not like Pharo.

In the end Pharo is another way of doing coding, it wont make you sexy with the ladies or turn you into a super coder.
Slightly off topic, but students with disabilities that cripple them on computers will be dealing with those issues their whole lives - I just think that it's awesome that they'll be able to start exploring the technology and assistive devices that will make computer use possible for them while still in the low-stakes world of high school, with techs to help them out.

It's a great opportunity for learning that would be lost if they were simply provided with an Apple device with Apple approved assistive technology, and told to make the best of it since there's no way to customize anything.
As an employee, your compensation is always tied to your notion of self-worth, or so I believe. Granted that the 70k seems like a very good salary for most entry level and some of the mid-level positions at any company but I think that the perception would change over time.

Let's say you are a developer making 70k and you know the receptionist makes at least the same. Or imagine you were paid 5K/yr and you knew you were paid the same as the CEO. Would you be happy with that too?
As far as I'm aware, there's no plan for rocket refueling on Mars. That makes sense, considering that the stages we normally think of as the 'rocket' will be gone long before our pods get to Mars.

We will refuel the pod, which has its own rocket engines on it, and use that to get back up (with a tiny fraction of the original payload) from the surface. Mars' gravity well and atmosphere are a fraction of Earth's, so there's really no need for a multi-stage rocket and all that. A refueled and weight reduced pod will do it just fine.
I agree with you in that it's the doctor's irresponsibility.

It could be rather complex, but almost certainly will still help. It could, for example, heuristically process the script tags as HTML passes back through it to the client, make optimistic requests to the HTTP/1 server (presumably at a much lower latency than the client), then push those documents down to the client.

And of course, it could also cache that knowledge and do it all instantly.
The algorithms are not only weighted towards the individual user - but also trends created by groups.

Take a 14-22 year range of males and visit the same sites as ages 40-65 and I guarantee they will also be shown different ads!

This 'study' doesn't really prove anything other than ads are targeted at groups and not just individuals and that the female group may be less interested in job ads - especially of higher paying jobs.

Which matches very well with employment data:
http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics/employment/jobpat-eeo4/2...

Females heavily gravitate towards lower paying, social-level jobs such as Kindergarten teachers, Nurses, and Psychiatry. Because this is statistically true of the gender, ads will take this into consideration.

Right now there are plenty of spares that can be had for cheap. With oil at $50/bbl and offshore being more expensive than onshore, you can be sure that there are jack up rigs (the kind you want) available. Here is a listing: http://www.worldoils.com/searigs/

porting regular software to FPGA's is certainly an interesting idea and many people have worked on it (google C to FPGA). Unfortunately, these solutions aren't quite what you would think, because the programming model of a microprocessor (serial execution of instructions) is very different from that of an FPGA (parallel evaluation of gates, non-uniform state access/routing -- you cannot just access any variable in Verilog anywhere, you have to make sure it is possible to efficiently lay out your algorithm on a 2D structure of gates).

As for JIT-ing, compilation times for FPGAs are often in the hours, and the software involved is unfortunately proprietary (and not easily integrated with). There are some field-reconfiguration libraries, but I am not sure to what extent real-world applications compile new Verilog on the fly..
It could be for non-public information, could it not? Private repositories are one obvious, but hidden email addresses and IPs could easily be targets. And maybe they want the public information but in an easy-to-manage format. When you've got the tools, it's probably easier to say "Give us every commit log entry for these ten users" rather than go search for it yourself.
