> In the Netherlands x% of a community had to sign up before they would roll out the system (to make sure that the ISP could recoup their costs).

In most U.S. cities, this is illegal.

In fact, Google got crucified when they did that originally for Fiber in Kansas City and a bunch of minority/low-income communities didn't make the list: http://www.wired.com/2012/09/google-fiber-digital-divide. Embarrassingly, the sign-up map was divided right along the road segregating black from white neighborhoods.

Even after Google lowered the sign-up requirements so more poor neighborhoods qualified, the sign-up rate for gigabit service was only 10% (and only another 5% for the free service). http://www.wsj.com/articles/google-fails-to-close-kansas-cit.... In most places, 30% is more like the target for what justifies build-out.
It seems to me that countries who "won the WWII" failed to make anything out of it; save for the USA who took it all.
"Please do not put solutions to exercises online as it is important for students to work out solutions for themselves
rather than copy them from the internet"

Why exactly?

I've found that being able to walk through a solution can be quite illuminating. There's also an exploration/efficiency tradeoff. At some point you can't spend any more time thinking through a problem (because life) and being able to work through a solution still brings many (if not maximal) benefits.
Please consider making your site static if possible. It makes it much more tolerant to the traffic which is taking it down now, faster and often more accessible.

There's a write up here, but you can also just google 'static website': https://eager.io/blog/build-static-websites
I live in Charlottesville and I, as a student, don't know anyone who is dissatisfied with their ISP. This is mostly a college town, and I think the students are the ones who would benefit most from higher bandwidth. To me, they don't seem dissatisfied enough to switch.
Hope to see more p2p application platforms in the future, including ones that might potentially run in a browser (via WebRTC) - if you know of others, please comment here.

There's one based on IPFS and blockchain that's a distributed video sharing app, like Youtube:

And there are some other decentralized / alternative Internet projects listed here (including Firestr): https://github.com/redecentralize/alternative-internet/blob/...
The 80/20 solution here is to just find the few files that take up the largest amount of space and are clearly pointless to your app, and remove them. The USB hwdb, for example. Also, trimming down the timezone and locale DBs to just the ones your app runs on (hopefully UCT and UTF-8) should help—unless your app has to deal with data containing user-defined datetimes/charsets.

The other interesting thing to try, if your app's problem isn't so much library-dependencies but instead Unix shell dependencies, is to use a Busybox base image. Apps whose runtimes are already sandboxed VMs, especially, usually work great under Busybox: the JVM, Erlang's BEAM VM, etc.
Google has the verbatim option for that.

Arch (with KDE Plasma 5) for desktop. Ubuntu LTS or Debian for servers (whichever has a more recent release).
My first thought was to just manipulate it in Sublime Text, the file isn't too large to work on in memory. I also noticed the data seemed to be very consistently formatted.

Search "name":".+?".*?"creditcard":".+?" to grab every line with non-empty Name and CC. Alt+Enter to edit all lines at once. Remove all the other data and json syntax. This was pretty easy because "name" is always the first field on the line and "creditcard" always the final field.
I couldn't find any pricing information for printing a figurine on the website. Anything you can disclose more? Thanks.
You don't need to be grand marshall to play PvP. When I played WoW you could just hang out at level 19 and keep playing early-level PvP as long as you wanted to. And the simple challenge that PvP is is always fun. Gear is one part of pvp, but it's fundamentally about beating the other player.

I think you have a very cynical view of video games, and a very simplistic view of human psychology. The mere existence of a reward to do something doesn't make someone want to do anything else anything less -- it just might make someone want to do that thing more.

I think the real problem comes from players, like you, who are literally unable to break the skinner box and are slavishly dedicated to extracting rewards from the system, using only the components of the system. Organic play and indeed, fun, is lost on you, because everything is reduced to work, the mechanical gaining of utility from authority figures. I blame overprotective parents and overscheduled youth and hope you one day feel better and can explore in MMOs without feeling discouraged.
What do you like? You should specialize in fields that you have an interest in (it'll make work seem like play).

If you don't know what you're interested in, then you should probably start trying out random fields (or ones that are close to your interests)
It's not yet planned, but definitely something that would be useful. I'll add it to the list.

Fighting Poverty with Code
I agree, but it's also nice to have a toolbox of actually tractable algorithms. Principled practical data science should approach the theoretical ideal (i.e. p(unknown|theta)), but often has to use some approximations that we actually know how to implement efficiently.
yeah. And unlike many of the Unixy solutions it will actually produce correct results even if the input data contained quotes ("), apostrophes ('), commas (,), backslashes (\) and other characters that could throw parsing and text synthesizing off.

* The iwr (Invoke-WebRequest) reads the text file from the uri.

* The ConvertFrom-Json cmdlet reads the content as json and parses it according to json rules. The output is a sequence of objects (not json objects, but PowerShell objects) with properties corresponding to the json fields. This will respect specially encoded characters.

* The ? (select-object) cmdlet can filter on complex expressions, but in this case it just filters on the presence of a creditcard property.

* The select (Select-Object) cmdlet selects just the properties we want to export, out of all of the properties for each object.

The epcsv (Export-Csv) exports objects from the pipeline and outputs them to a file with proper escaping for e.g. quotes, apostrophes etc.

By not relying on home-cooked text munging you can actually produce a robust solution that is also readable.
Both this and the fact the transcripts can't be used by experts to predict war criminals reinforce the obvious point that anyone can do horrible things, it doesn't require sick minds, it just takes faith in doing "the right thing".
"The charity that this will be donated is yet TBD - we will keep you posted throughout the entire fundraising process and will be given to the organization that has shown the most effectiveness in disaster response to this earthquake in the upcoming days."

Why shouldn't people just contribute directly to the charity of their choice instead of going through an unknown middleman? If you contribute directly to a certified charity (Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders; pick your favorite), you can even afford to contribute more, since you can take a tax deduction. (I don't think the IRS will honor a receipt for "charity TBD" if you get audited.) And, of course, you can also personally contribute to whatever charity you think has had the best response.

Also, GoFundMe.com takes a hefty cut of your donation, so donating directly to your charity gives them more:

"While it's free to create and share your online fundraising campaign, GoFundMe will deduct a 5% fee from each donation that you receive. Since our fee is deducted automatically, you'll never need to worry about being billed or owing us any money. A small processing fee of about 3% will also be deducted from each donation."[1]

Finally, we really have no idea who the people who are running this fundraiser are. Unfortunately, lots of scams arise whenever there's a natural disaster.

Very cool, and I love your project. I've read your blog and your approach is very admirable and I love the extensible approach you've taken.

If you're still considering protocols, I'd consider the TextSecure V2 protocol. The documentation isn't crazy in-depth, but it's a really neat protocol that offers forwards and future security.

Same- in the event I do get stuck in a textbook, it's usually on one of the "challenge" problems that tend to require a clever insight that you can be led to if you have access to a professor with office hours.

We run our blog on Ghost (http://blog.commando.io), and honestly not sure there is much wrong with the node.js implementation. It can handle insane traffic, gzip, expires headers already supported. You are correct, it does not support https, but you could either run nginx in front, or modify the source code a bit.

I do love the idea of just copying a single binary (thanks go) to any server and running Journey. Is Journey's editing/writing interface up to snuff with ghost? Support for tags, SEO metadata, full markdown support, image upload?

Shouldn't be that hard to implement. At least, on the surface of it.
The story is one more anecdote for a point adults need be keenly aware of: adults have (at least, we expect) a positive framework to establish negative experiences upon, while children faced with those negative experiences don't have such a positive framework - instead, the negative experiences become the framework, leading to long-term dysfunction. A key anecdote for this is the Shrek movies, overflowing with humorous satire - unaware that a good chunk of the audience doesn't know what's being satirized, and hence takes the stories as the foundation instead of the facade.

TL;DR - a child star of a Terry Gilliam film writes him, decades later, to describe the sheer terror she felt acting out the film and how that terror caused her social/emotional problems growing up; Gilliam responds in surprise/confusion/appreciation, lauding how solid an actor she was at age 9, and unaware of the effect it had on her.

I used Redis in many high scale applications and it has been working very well so far.

Primarily we use it as a cache backend, and also as a temporary storage for processing data (the expire feature plays very nicely).

in a recent project I was trying to store more information in Redis (such as view counts etc..) but faced the problem of querying the data later (as it relies mainly on keys/regexp).

I've travelled a lot, and worked as a travel blogger, but never 'quit my job to travel.' It's a lot cheaper than you'd expect. You could probably do it for $10-$20k a year.

I think it's hard in that it's hard to get good at, but there's not a very sharp learning curve. You need to learn how to find deals, and how to meet people when you're tired, and how to not get ripped off, and so on. But mostly, extensive solo travel isn't that difficult. It's just about amassing common sense.

If someone is a non-native and less than fluent English speaker being presented with this problem in English, then I think your analogy holds. If they are fluent English speakers, however, then I think the inability to translate simple English statements into logical constraints is a failure to solve the logic puzzle itself, not a different type of failure indicating that the problem description is "cryptic" or confusing.

All of your accounts are insecure from the start because a) you use passwords easy enough for you to remember, and b) you rely on email reset, which travels the public Internet in plain text.
There is definitely nothing wrong with Ghost and node.js. I've used it for some time now and I still love it :)

Two major points drove me while developing Journey: I wanted to learn (more) about Go (the bigger point here). And I wanted something that I could just drag and drop on any server to quickly create a temporary blog or micro site without setting up dependencies like nginx or node.

As intellectuals "know" people with noble intentions commit strategical blunders, and irresponsible acts but no such things as atrocities. These psychiatrists were perhaps trying to find a method to objectively identify the defining characteristic of an atrocious act, that is, being carried out by ignoble people. Unfortunately they did not succeed, so when identifying the real international criminals we still have to deal with such distractions as hospital propaganda [1], naive young persons [2], and journalists with shady agendas [3]. Back to psychiatry, Dalí exposed the underlying philosophical matter very succinctly: "The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad."

I pointed this trend out to a guy who was whining about the "good old days" of through hole components and how hard it was to use surface mount stuff. There are a lot of motivations to go with chip on board tech, mostly the chips can be cheaper as you have removed an entire chunk of steps and fallout out of the production process. Interestingly for me, the reason this is becoming more popular is that because feature sizes are so small, the silicon cost of these parts is dominated by the pin pads, not the logic. So making the pads big enough to put solder balls on them for COB assembly doesn't materially increase the cost of the die, and yet saves packaging, bondout, and post packaging testing.

As a psychologist, I can tell you that with only one card out of ten for the whole test, Goering shows signs of being a plain psychopath (knowing what he did of course) while Hesse does have very serious psychological issues (even if I didn't know what he did). The Rorschach is able to tell you at least that.
A standard criminal can come out normal on the Rorschach and pretty much every other test you throw at him, but a guy who shoots up an elementary school will not come out normal on the Rorschach.

In early 1999 I'd been working as a contractor at a major Australian bank, writing VBScript, building an Intranet site. A three month contract became nine. By then I'd managed to pay off my student debt and put aside a decent amount. I quit and traveled.

Three months in southern Africa and three months in the United Kingdom.

It was my second trip to southern Africa and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Different the second time around. While I was exploring different areas, I had a much better sense of what to expect from each situation.

My first trip to the UK. I wasted a lot of time in those three months, which could have been better spent. I did see quite a lot, but generally I treated it mostly as a tools down and relaxation period. I did return to Australia, but 12 months later, I was back in the UK and lived there for a further 13 years.

Returning to Australia, it was straightforward enough to find work. I think I was offered something on my third interview. This just happened to be with a company which would go on to become a dotcom giant, survive the crash and continues to do reasonably well today. Everything worked out well enough.

I would certainly do it all again. If I had the choice to do things differently, I probably would have cut short the UK period and seen more of Europe, although I did a lot of that in subsequent years.

In short, I would encourage people to do something like this. I don't think breaks of even up to 12 months in a career should be a concern, especially if explained easily enough. The experiences are worth a great deal.

The fact that you saw two dwarves is indicative of a psychopathic mind obsessed with belittling others in an attempt to convince itself of its own adequacy. The high-fiving is a sign of childhood trauma caused by a lack of meaningful friendships.

Absolutely. I applaud the effort and enthusiasm to learn go. Go is awesome. My concerns are just feature parity for users wanting a blogging platform to run in production. You'll need rss feed, sitemaps, tags, SEO metadata, etc.
I honestly don't think (from your comments) that you know enough about music to make pronouncements of the sort that you are making. I'm sure that people are doing amazing stuff in natural language processing, but I'm also sure that you're underestimating the complexity of music.

Producing a program that can output quality music on demand would be largely comparable to producing a program that can output quality novels on demand. I'd be entirely unsurprised if it turned out to be an AI-complete problem; some evidence for this being that most humans with training are found to be incapable of composing quality music (where almost anyone can perform most of the tasks that have been solved by NLP researchers).
Huh, the smear campaign continues even today? USA and Israel are as always saints which is why everything regarding WW2 I no longer trust.

> Don't include a trailing slash in self-closing elements—the HTML5 spec says they're optional.

This kills the XML parser. Yes, I know, you should use a real HTML parser like BeautifulSoup if you can. But sometimes you don't have one available, or you're working with legacy tools.

More importantly, if you're looking through the code and you don't know what tags are self-closing, you can't instantly tell whether something's a syntax error or not. Off hand, do you know which of the SVG tags are self-closing, vs. those that permit optional but rarely-used contents? [0] What about the embed tag? If you make a mistake in rattling off that list, then you cannot claim that you can read through an arbitrary @mdo-compliant document and know with certainty whether there is or is not a syntax error. And I'd bet that many talented frontend developers would make a mistake.

It's an extra character that makes your HTML parse-able by a person or program that isn't a geek (or the programmatic equivalent thereof) who's read the HTML spec. And that's well worth the pinky-press.
