It is alot more stressful for content creators like youtube personalities who tweets out constantly instead of being a consumer. Because you have to make sure you don't miss any import people tweeting at you. And you have to make sure you make your audience happy. Most youtube stars hate twitter because it's such a burden to having to keep up with their audience.

Twitter can't afford to loose these people because they are the ones who create all the tweets most people come to twitter to consume.
Yes, because the fascinating thing about earning near minimum-wage in the US is that there is a new app to help you budget.

How effective would per-IP rate limiting be for these new types of JS attacks though? As I understand it, it's just the sheer number of requests that they can get sent to the server with these types of attacks rather than say a botnet spamming requests over and over from the couple hundred PC's they have under their control or a HTTP POST attack where they trickle in the body of the request to hang up the server.

However, Paul March, an engineer at NASA Eagleworks, recently reported in NASASpaceFlight.com’s forum (on a thread now over 500,000 views)[1] that NASA has successfully tested their EM Drive in a hard vacuum – the first time any organization has reported such a successful test.

To this end, NASA Eagleworks has now nullified the prevailing hypothesis that thrust measurements were due to thermal convection.

With so much media coverage about startups from tech pubs like TechCrunch to TV shows like HBO’s Silicon Valley, it may seem like running a startup is all about glamorous product launches, huge rounds of fundraising, and overnight successes.

But the overnight startup success is an absolute myth.

In reality, running a startup isn’t glamorous at all, nor do overnight successes ever happen. Rather, startups are full of repetitive tasks that need to be done each day and small steps that need to be taken consistently over a number of years.

Here are some of the tasks that we grind through each day to keep making incremental progress on ribl.

Can Twitter disappear? If they can't find a way to monetize can they just shut the thing down and return money to investors? At this point Twitter seems to be used by a lot of organizations and government to communicate important information. I wonder if they decided to fold if they would be sued and forced to figure out how to monetize.
Rocket restart is harder in real life than in KSP. Typically a rocket is designed to be started a limited number of times, this is where RCS fills the gap.

> You could use (cleverly-braided+insulated) regular LEDs if there was a breadboard or something behind the map, but that'd be both huge and inconvenient.

Theres a simpler solution that uses the same idea. Have pins that look like mono audio jacks, so the "tip" and "ring" are separate. Put two layers of conductive material down on the map, one on each side of the insulating board, and apply a voltage between them. When you stick in the pin, your "ring" contacts the closest layer, the tip the furthest, and so you have a voltage available to power the LED in the head. The voltage would only need to be about 3V or so, so its perfectly safe, you just need a small fuse in case of shorts.

Manufacturing a conductive "ring" on a pin would be difficult with machining, so using a conductive paint on top of an insulating paint would be the best option. The hardest issue would be ensuring a reliable contact with the ring, as the contact surface would be very small.
I've met and knew Paul for a time while I was in high school. Despite my interest then with CS, at that time, I had no idea until now that he was the inventor of Haskell or was involved in Computer Science at all.

Independent to his contributions to the industry that I now love; I knew him as an extremely friendly and energetic person. He was well liked by all who came in contact with him and his absence will be wide felt.
Non-SSL, and no explicit statement that my photo won't be reused? Cool site, but I'm not using it.
But in the spirit of trying to be helpful, I will echo the sentiments I've seen elsewhere in this thread and say your best bet will be a reasonably sized box running HAProxy fronting at least 2 boxes running nginx + your API code. Since it is highly likely you have a DB you could also run an "internal" HAproxy box fronting multiple postgres servers that are doing bidirectional data sync but that complexity ramps up QUICKLY.
VisualGBD would still potentially be useful for setting cross-compilers and in-circuit debuggers. But yeah, I think you could probably recreate the experience by putting the pieces together yourself.

It will be interesting to see if the Debian influence will promote the availability of a wide variety of architectures, including the options to load non-free firmware. From the GNU/FSF standpoint, this is at its core a GNU project, and GNU promotes freedom, free software and the rejection of non-free code. If a wide array of hardware support emerges, it will not come from the GNU portion of the project, where only either "freed" hardware (via coreboot, etc) or hardware with open specs is the target. Please note that "hardware" does not mean "system" - likely you can install on any number of systems that include lots of "closed" and unsupported hardware, but where you go from there is up to you...

I love Twitter the most out of any social platforms. I think their problem partially is that the software stack is too expensive. This problem often missed because everybody is focusing on capabilities and features. Performance, and being efficient is a feature.

Given that SPDY is pretty well supported by browsers, and that HTTP2 will have similar features... it may be better just to serve all of your own scripts/css on the same domain via https.

As for your suggestion... the browser can easily cache the CDN resource as it does now... without a complicated new protocol. The main difference being the integrity check. All of that said, as others have suggested, another nicety would be a local-src="" url, that could be used as a fallback if the cdn resource fails the integrity check.

Imperative programming wont die, but more an more of the languages we use are functional. SQL, CSS, HTML.. The last two are declarative, I know, but they fit very well into a functional paradigm.

I don't think Haskell or F# will ever make it big (for many reasons, to many to go into detail on here). But regular imperative languages are getting more functional oriented. Like LINQ expressions, list comprehensions, immutable data structures (Clojure is big on that) and TCO (very beneficial for fp).

It's a sliding scale and it doesn't matter so much if the language is categorized as functional or imperative. It's how you approach problems you solve with your language. I think more and more programmers are realizing that the functional approach is almost always superior.

It doubles my age on all my photos. It's the beard, I guess.
I am often told that I look very young for my age, and people generally guess my age several years lower than it is. This tool guessed the correct age right away, which really impressed me. Thanks for the confidence boost Microsoft!

The accompanying article is also very interesting and well written to be readable by someone who isn't totally up to date with the latest in facial recognition software.
Just going by the test images it seems to rate everything about 5 years younger than what I would guess (people and their kids, kids being the same age and obviously not twins).

With that said, it guessed my age nearly spot on. When I get carded most people think I am far younger.
Indeed. This setup could work well as a repo or stock loan and trying out market making in such a currency agreement.
I expect you're quite the outlier.

The argument of white space or braces is largely a religious one. Any argument for one case is equally valid for the other as well and it usually just boils down to people trying to justify personal preference. eg:

Python: white space is a great way to keep things readable as more people touch the code.

Perl / PHP / etc: braced blocks is a great way to keep things readable if the formatting breaks.

Python: People can get lost in braces.

Perl et al: People can forget to tab.

etc

Personally I prefer braces, but I've worked with whitespaces and verbose ALGOL-style blocks too. At the end of the day, all these arguments are just theoretical because most people manage just fine 99% of the time.
This is how I would do it. Your base unit is a circle with radius 180cm, which is approximately 10m^2.

Place one circle at the north pole. Your starting angle is 0 degrees longitude. Place a circle at the south pole, and slide it along that line of longitude until your sliding circle touches any other already-placed circle. Then "roll" the circle to the local minimum distance between its center and the north pole; whenever moving it an epsilon east or west would not allow the center to get closer, stop. Add 222.5 degrees (actually (sqrt(5)-1)*180), modulo 360. Slide in another circle. Add 222.5 degrees, modulo 360. Slide in another circle. Repeat until the circle placed at the south pole intersects an already-placed circle.

Move each center point to the nearest grid-based point at a given precision, then name them. If you stand on the named point, you should be able to touch anything using that point as its address, without moving your feet.

A 10m^2 unit cell is a very human-sized measurement, but you are correct that forcing them into an orthographic grid is pointless when the addresses are names and not numbers.

There's no way any living human could memorize the name-location mapping for all addresses, or even just all the land-based addresses. People would need to look them up in an index from a numeric coordinate, and vice versa. As such, there is no need to orient the address points to any existing coordinate system.

Does anyone else find it obscene that 4 GB of RAM is considered inadequate in a laptop? And I'm not just saying this in response to your comment; that seems to be a common opinion. For example, in the 2012 novel _Off to Be the Wizard_ (which I found quite entertaining), the protagonist answers the question, "What on earth can a person do with 4 gigabytes of RAM?" with, "Upgrade it immediately."
Yep, even when I'm using my "old" iPhone 4S. It's an amazing piece of technology, and weird to think that it's so dated now.

I think "use our free TLS" is directed towards the people who host scripts that get embedded by people, like baidu.

Embedding scripts that are hosted behind cloudflare is a terrible idea though.
+1 here... I feel the same way. The only down side, is with a handful of twitter accounts, I find the emails excessive and annoying... If I only got 2-3 a week for the summary emails that would be better for me.. but pretty much every day across 3 accounts, is too much, so I unsubscribed/disabled them.

Other than that, I pop in for a couple minutes a day, scroll through the most recent few hundred posts, and let it go.

"This reminded me of Colonels coming to me in the military saying - "I want all of Iraq on my wall at 1:50,000" and as a junior enlisted man saying something, very respectfully, like "Well, sir, Iraq is about 900km from top to bottom, so that's 900,000m, and at 1:50,000 that's about 18m from top to bottom. How high are your ceilings?"

Ahaha... I am really curious though. What were their responses? Just do it? Or was it like, my wall is 5 meters high, so make maps that will fit that height?

What's your take on digital maps in military? I gather printed maps will be around a looong time because tablets just cannot match the usefulness of maps (at least at platoon/company level)?

Always amazed to hear from people of such diverse background and experience here and on the internet in general.
Hey Liz,
as a student at University of Waterloo, our school provides a co-op system and job matching tools to help students find jobs. I know a lot of North American schools provide services like this and it seems like you'll be competing directly with them.

Are there any advantages to using your service versus the ones provided by the student's university for finding internships?

What's the difference between refresh on demand and just creating a table based on a SELECT? It seems like some minor syntactic sugar (which is great, I'm all for that), but not much of a feature.
This is the start of a solution in Haskell:

import System.Environment
import qualified Data.Vector.Unboxed as V
import Data.Vector.Unboxed (Vector)

display :: Vector Double -> String
display ds | V.null ds = ""
| otherwise = tail . concatMap format . V.toList $ ds
where format d = ',' : show d

csv_sums :: String -> Vector Double
csv_sums input = go (V.length $ h) 1 h t where
h : t = map (V.fromList . read . bracket) $ lines input
bracket s = '[' : s ++ "]"
go s n summary [] = summary
go s n summary (x:xs)
| V.length x == s = go s (n + 1) (V.zipWith (+) summary x) xs
| otherwise = if blankLastLine then summary
else error "Inconsistent lengths."
where blankLastLine = case xs of [] -> V.length x == 0
_ -> False

main = do
paths <- getArgs
if length paths /= 1
then error "Exactly one filename must be given."
else readFile (head paths) >>= putStrLn . display . csv_sums

It takes about 22x longer than Python on my platform though, which I'm not sure how to solve. (The vector keeps it nice and un-thunked so it doesn't seem like it's laziness that's killing it, maybe it's the use of strings over Data.ByteString.Lazy or so?)

Ditto, except this tool suggested I was three years older than I was at the time. Of note is that the photo was taken three years ago, so it's correct now. However, that was pre-beard, which generally ages people, so ... I don't know what to think.
"this is a three-edged sword."
Yeah, that is right (though some will have a hard time agreeing because your definition isn't very conclusive/complete)

Job wise: if you only had one language (and did not have history as a programmer) I think it would be easiest to find employment using Javascript. The need is huge and growing all the time.

Python or Ruby are pretty easy to learn and can be used for a number of different ways.

If you had plenty of time (read money) then Java would be the best choice. Java easily has ten times the amount of jobs available, so you can imply that it's more useful if you want to accept that metric.
It doesn't follow that because CartoCSS/Mapbox studios is "editable", "customizable", and "easy", that the specific combinations of configuration and adjustment available would meet his complex criterion of minimizing time, effort, money, and aesthetics. I'd imagine Google Maps is optimized to a T for all of the tiny specific label placements you want, and I'm not convinced from the one-off choice it would have been a 100% better idea for the OP to use.

It might have been a better choice, and maybe he didn't evaluate the option, but I still imagine the complexity of these options for the OP's specific aesthetic taste is quite large.
