Hey Eli,

Wow, looks very full featured for a side project. Must have taken a lot of effort to get it to this stage.

I'm an Axure user (also use pixate and framer), so I gave your tool a quick whirl (using Chrome).

I think some of the workflow bits could be improved, for example, here is what I did:

1) Placed a tab container on the screen (iPhone template)

2) Went into edit mode and placed a header on tab 1

3) Copied header from tab 1 and went to tab 2 and pasted it there.

What I expected was that it would place it in the same location as it was on tab 1, but instead it placed it somewhere randomly, so I had to move it to the same location, which takes extra time. I know, it might seem picky, but these little things do matter to me, as it speeds up my work.

Haven't tried the 'scratch' like code editor yet. Will give it a go.

What would you say makes your app better than Axure for example?

Anyway, congrats on launching and wish you all the success with it!
Why has the U.S. been killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Middle East for the past 15 years?

The sociopathic leaders of large organizations will do what is expedient, and the rank and file will do what they are told, or willfully ignore what is happening.

It takes an invading force to come in and establish that something was evil and clearly the work of madmen. My guess is that the nazis had perfectly normal brains, much like our own.

This exercise mostly just shows how foolish Rorschach tests are. I saw 2 dwarves high-fiving.

I see the service has launched in Charlottesville. As a Virginia Tech Hokie, it's hard to stomach that the Hoos are getting if first, but in all seriousness, I think this is a great thing.

That being said, there's a lot of information that seems to be missing. I'm not sure how excited to be about this until I see pricing.
It's rather ironic that American psychiatrists should consider genocide to be the product of unusual minds (rather than, say, unusual circumstances). The Westwards expansion of their own country was based on the same principles as lebensraum, and also involved genocide.
What about security updates? Are they as easy to maintain as in Debian and Ubuntu?

I used Slackware at the very beginning of my Linux time in the 90s, and I really liked it. Now I am considering to use it again in face of Debian's non-optional move to systemd.

I'm going to repost my comment from Reddit:

I've been working on this blog engine in my spare time for the last few months. My blog has been running on it without hiccups for about a month now (low volume, 700 visits a day tops).

I'd like some opinions if anyone has the time to try it out. (Worth pursuing? Any ideas for features? Should I die in a fire because my code quality sucks?)

Thanks :)

The goal of posting the challenge is to see tools like the one you link.

Your solution is probably more sensible as a one off than a lot of the other answers.
Wow this is an outright plagiarized clone of noisli.com and their app. I understand they aren't on Android yet, but copying their exact UI to essentially create a competing site and app feels wrong.

Yah but the customizing is minimal in Linux mint, you can't pick a new Desktop environment, you can't modify the look and styles in linux mint, so it's more like using windows IMO, that's why I thought of using something with more freedom
Security updates are regularly served both in mainline and -current (rolling) repositories, along with dedicated security advisories. See: http://www.slackware.com/security/
Any time you have per user data you have an a clear shard key. i.e. instead of one Redis instance you have 100 where each serves a subset of users. In practice sharding isn't quite so simple but having a clear boundary makes it fairly easy to manage.

An alternative you might consider is Cloud Foundry.

Cloud Foundry is a full-featured PaaS for which the IP belongs to a foundation.

Votes are given out according to contributions, so currently Pivotal and IBM are the leaders on it. The current board has representatives from Pivotal, IBM, EMC, HP, VMWare, Intel, SAP, ActiveState and Swisscom. The Cloud Foundry Foundation's operations and admin are handled by the Linux Foundation, funded by 40-something corporate members.

You can play with a full Cloud Foundry system by signing up to Pivotal Web Services[1] or IBM BlueMix[2]. Or you can play with the developer-friendly core component, Lattice[3].

Disclaimer: I work for Pivotal Labs and for a while I worked on secondment to the CF Buildpacks team. I'm a one-eyed fanboy, so YMMV.

Why Your Awesome, Creative Resume Isn't Working
Um. That's the standard Google interview process. Everyone goes through it. Contacted by an overzealous recruiter who gushes about qualifications but has no real understanding of what it would mean to be qualified. Annoying and frustrating phone interview with someone who doesn't actually understand the questions or answers (and who is hard to hear and understand). The phone interviewer just has a list of questions and correct answers. Slightly different answer? Sorry. Better answer than the one on the list? Sorry, I don't understand what these mean, your answer doesn't match.

The false positives come with staggering frequency. If you were to put the same candidate through the process twice you'd get two different results.

Google is terrible at interviewing, but the good thing for their legal case is that they are uniformly terrible without regard to age, race, ethnic origin or sexual preference.

Google employees go through mandatory annual diversity and anti-discrimination training. Hiring managers have an additional managing within the law training. Google also hosts optional classes to help employees identify and overcome unconscious bias. They're about the least discriminatory company I've ever heard of and actively encourage diversity in the company and the world.

They just suck at hiring.
Looks like it is a neat project, thanks for open sourcing it. Do you plan to support static export?

That was an incredibly condescending answer.

In 2015, we continue to develop incorrect CSV parsing and production when there are ready solutions in the wild for the spec (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt - 2005), such as Ruby's csv package, Perl's Text::CSV, CL's CL-CSV, and so forth. It's a solved problem. I quite understand this challenge, but this issue is important to me because this same print "%s,%s\n" stuff shows up in the wild from professional developers who have the time on their hands to use the right tool, some of which I have personally worked with. Perhaps, like in this challenge, they are under pressure to get their feature finished, and this is the first thing they think of because, after all, it's just "comma-separated values".

This challenge is especially amusing in that it, were it a real-world situation, involves people's financial welfare, and developers in a rush could very well have screwed it up. Isn't that cause for worry?

Of course you can. You can install any DE you want on top of Mint, it's still Linux, and you can modify the appearance of the shipped XFCE or Cinammon DEs with themes.
Just to expand, it's still illegal even if they follow through on the $55K contract after 4 months, even if that averages out to more than minimum wage over the 16 months. If you treat someone like an employee, you have to put them on payroll, with a regular pay schedule, paying at least minimum wage, and start withholding taxes, immediately.

I have an X61T with the SVGA+ AFFS-IPS screen (1400x1050). The colors are the best I've ever seen on a screen, and at 12 inches the PPI is the same as my smartphone. Laypeople are genuinely impressed by it and will comment. The "retina" displays on Apple tablets are better, but people aren't used to seeing that kind of quality on a 2007-era laptop.
How could any update to the bootloader have been installed properly in that setup?

If you did something unorthodox, such as building a boot process dependent on a manual step to clone drive, you surely must be prepared to deal with this in any number of situations that can arise?

All non-standard solutions carry a debt where all future admins must understand what you built and how this affects operation.
It's a little bit annoying though. Friends and others living in random parts of the world are marking themselves safe. Not all of them are narcissistic, so I wonder if the feature is not very intuitive?

Not taking away how useful it is though. Even with all the noise it was reassuring to know friends in the tremor area (which included a large part of North India) were safe.

It's about the potential payoff for me too. When I am not looking for a job (i.e. I am happy with the job I have) an offer to write some code for some company does not look very enticing. After all, if I already thought that company offers a better job, I'd been asking them for a job myself. The most I can offer in this situation is a chance to sell me on the job.

On the other hand, when I am looking for a job (I am unhappy at the current job ) I go far and wide as I am applying to multiple companies. In this situation I talk to the ones that ask for interviews first, as they appear more committed, and push all the tests after the interviews. From my limited experience, by the time the interviews clear up I have at least a couple of offers on hand. Offers I can identify with people I've been talking to, the environment I've seen, the location, the projects etc. Spending several days on tests, which, at best will bring an interview, which may or may not lead to an offer, which, in its turn, may or may not be better than the offers I already have now looks like plain gamble to me. So I take the best offer instead of doing any tests.
Arch + KDE5. I'd echo comments above saying that today most distros amount to the same thing, but the benefit of Arch is it's minimal by default, so you don't get any junk, and pretty much everything is setup by you.

It's not hard to install because of how great the wiki is, just take a look at the Beginner's guide and you're all set. I personally prefer it to Mint/Ubuntu because of the packaging system (easy to rebuild packages from ABS, modify AUR ones etc)
I really dislike the term "Black box optimization". There's no such thing. You have to make assumptions about your function, so in the end this is just rewarding people whose optimizers happen to match the chosen functions; but those functions are not made explicit whatsoever. That doesn't make any sense.

For example, if the output/input are floating point numbers than you can assume the domain/range is [-M,M]. Otherwise, with even the most clever function you have no guarantee of ever approaching the optimum, even if the function is continuous. Now even with a limited range there are no guarantees if the function is not well behaved -- so you have to again assume the function is well behaved. And for any assumption you make there is a condition on function for which it is terrible. There is no best assumption, or best algorithm, then. You could, for instance, assume the function is adversarial (trying to make your life difficult), for which the best algorithm is perhaps just sampling randomly the range, which is really a terrible algorithm -- but that's of course just another assumption, and a terrible one.

I would much prefer 'Typical function optimization', if you're optimizing unlabeled functions so frequently, or at least not try to hide the inevitable assumptions.

TL;DR: The contest may be useful, but the concept of "Black box optimization" is nonsense.

But even in a vector space these examples are still ambiguous.
This is the case for most distributions, indeed. In fact, there's few core/scratch distros and a majority are all derivatives, frequently of other derivatives.

However, there are exceptions. There are experimental (though actually most are very much usable for real-world or even everyday tasks) distros with markedly different and more unconventional software stacks. Examples include Alpine, Morpheus, Sabotage, Void and NixOS. One should not be discouraged from trying those, not least of which is precisely to see other ways of integrating systems beyond the status quo.
Nice work. I've been a Noisli user for quite some time but this raises the bar. The vids are a particularly nice feature.
No. "We" (society) have decided to spend money to create consequences for breaking our laws. (Whether or not they're good laws is a separate issue.)

So as citizens who don't want to be murdered or stolen from, the investigation/incarceration/etc. is a service being provided to us. In this case, you could debate how serious failure to pay taxes is, but as someone who pays his taxes, I still don't want someone else to avoid the same burden.

There certainly have been societies without police or a civilian legal system, and there was a lot of violent crime (and very little of what we would call justice) in those societies. The Roman Republic is one example.
I read the first four paragraphs and thought, "How vapid. Did someone train a Markov chain with platitudes?" It's amusing how close I was to the truth.

Actual truth-seeking is hard and typically boring. It involves learning about human cognitive biases, then training oneself to recognize and correct for them. The whole process is not very fun, but its fruits are useful.

Can somebody explain to me the underlying theory of this type of book?

The only books that have ever felt coherent to me start with p(data, unknown) as being an approximate model of some domain. Everything then follows smoothly as inference, modeling, and computational methods or shortcuts.
I certainly read him as ignorant. He handwaves at the fact that poor people have less money than rich people. But it doesn't seem to have made much difference in his commentary.

As comparison, the world loses over 100,000 people each year to measles; the solution to that has been understood for decades, and deploying it is a lot easier than building to withstand a 7.9 earthquake.

The existence of techniques to fix a problem is not the only thing standing in the way to fixing a problem.

Huh, so this is a new one on me. I'm not a big fan of PaaS solutions (IaaS is fine, though), but looking at this--you know, Lattice itself seems really cool. It seems like a good compromise between Mesos's (unnecessary, for the 90% case) complexity and flexibility and freedom. I think I'll be giving this a solid look. Thank you for the pointer. :)
I feel like a computer can come up with interesting sounds and possibly works similarly to a musician in the initial brainstorming phase of creating music. The difference is that the musician can recognize when one particular phrase is interesting and then run with that idea. Whereas the computer is not able to make the distinction and so it just goes on sounding like so much musical gibberish.
