I dropped out of this scene after burying myself in technology/networks/programming for over 10 years. I didn't realize it, but my one-pointedness on programming harmed almost every other aspect of my life. Sure I could tell you how to do amazing things with a computer, but could I successfully get your number? Not a chance in hell.

Instead I picked up a paintbrush, got a night job at a hotel and now I oil paint for 5-6 hours out of my day. I'm exercising, talking to friends, being social. And just like my terrible paintings, my other skills are improving.

I did have a close second though, a little project called Samsara that brought zero-click downloading to iTunes. Once set up, getting new music is as easy as plugging in your iDevice.
It is written in Go, binds Last.FM, TPB and Transmission together and runs a daemon. The gist of the program is that it grabs your recommended music, scrapes TPB for it, Downloads it, Shovels it into your iTunes library, and auto-syncs it with your devices over wifi. It's been running for the past few months with no errors, and my music is fresh. Even has an option to constrain the downloads to releases in the past two years. InstaHipster.

I never got around to packaging it up as it was the last real project I was working on. Just trying to find drive to work on it was a pain. If anyone wants the code, send an email to zeropointer@icloud.com , If someone wants to take the project off my hands and polish it up properly and release it. It's all yours.
What it comes down to is nobody who produces art (photography, painting, etc.) wants to be in a situation where their work is being curated or published and they have remove good work because they don't have the rights to their own photos. It could be for anything from a gallery show (many photographers' bread and butter) to one of their online sample books. What makes the issue more complex here is that a photograph captures a moment in time (meaning it can not necessarily be recaptured) and the perceived implications of that will vary widely from person to person. But again, if you're a photographer who gets one great photo, some perfect moment from a job, you want to be able to do more with it since you can't just tell the client "hey, this photo is so good you need to pay me 10x as much for it!"

(Hopefully that's coherent enough to make sense of, writing multiple things at once now...)
So... did anybody try to order a pizza?
I think we should definitely reconsider how compilers are doing code generation, if by default they are generating far more code than necessary and need to use optimisation to make up for it.
That might simply be because Google Domains is US only.
A 17 year old using LocalBitcoins is an uncontrolled risk to the bank. They have uncertain odds of committing money laundering and a certainty of causing dispropotionate chargebacks/reversals. Balanced against this, their business is worth less than nothing: the only reason you can open a checking account at all is to bring them other, more profitable business, in the future, as most operate at a loss.

Terminating their account removes the risk and costs the bank next to nothing.
While I think your use case for events is clearly a good one, I’ve also seen the pattern abused, e.g. a widget opens a dialog selector and the selector fires an event to transmit the selection rather than just returning a promise that it resolves.

Events seem the perfect fit for pub/sub like you describe where there is a one to many relationship, but the pattern does seem abused by people who use it for a one to one communication between parts of the code. Calling it an anti-pattern is perhaps a bit too harsh and detracts from the valid uses. Though, I am glad the author brought it up as too many events in the system can make it challenging to reason about.
Or just don't watch TV.
I think people underestimate this. Yes, Atom is quite slow. But probably won't remain slow forever. And with the open source structure I think it will receive a great deal of contributions (languages, plugins, etc). I think over 2-3 years this will be very hard to compete with.
Domain registration doesn't imply website creation.
I'm glad this digs deeper into why marketplace startups have been successful recently. Instead of just how everyone is the next Uber of X. It talks about building trust and safety on both the buyer and seller sides of the market
I've noticed the same thing. It seems like it did get better for a while (around the time the FCC mandated the volume restrictions), but now it seems just as bad as it ever was. I wonder what the text of the regulation states. I wonder if it says something about how they can't boost the volume for commercials compared to the show/program. If so, I wonder if they just now play the show/program at a much lower volume, thus giving the effect that the commercial is louder (thus, complying with the regulation and not boosting the volume of the ads). Now, if the regulation stated something about the relative volumes of the shows vs. the ads, then it might be harder to "cheat".

If Chrome were a text editor I'd have different expectations of how it should perform.
Anybody have the opposite perspective on this?

Supposedly, "most people" nowadays think that children should not be allowed to roam, but I only ever hear from people who think that's ridiculous. For instance, I just scrolled the comments here and they are literally 100% "I can't believe how paranoid we've become". The conversation I read and hear on this is so one-sided that I really have no sense for what the argument of the other side even is.
Even worse, he might have been having impure thoughts! Clearly, he should be arrested for blatant pre-premeditated pre-crime./s

Why was this boob hanging around watching a hobo allegedly ogle unaccompanied children? Clearly said indigent's activity didn't rise to the level of even mild beating, so I'm not sure why officer Friendly even bothered mentioning it, other than to scare the impressionable.
I lived with some guys who had a TV that would mute automatically during commercials. This was about 5 years ago, but I think the TV was older than that (it wasn't a flat screen).

I assume it took advantage of the fact that commercials have different audio signal properties (which we perceive as loudness) than regular programming.

I haven't seen a TV that can do this since, although the fact that I only use my TVs now for streaming and gaming means it's not exactly a feature that I'm on the lookout for.
I think this is just media sensationalist bullshit.

Yeah, my first thought was, Where else would he work?
No, but the SEC does, and to say that Bernanke is familiar with the leadership at the SEC would be the understatement of the century.

Given that his title is "adviser", I struggle to believe they hired him for any other reason. That term seems to come up again and again when people leave capital hill for the private sector to land cushy jobs where they get paid to take their friends out to dinner.
