I work for LoopBack. The purpose of LoopBack is to help you develop and consume APIs. Here is a list of differentiating features:

1. A lot of connectors to backend systems, including an ORM for most of the popular databases, REST/SOAP apis, and other services such as storage and push notification. We want to make the integrations simpler for API developers.

2. Metadata based REST API programming. Write your business functions in plain JS and we'll expose them as REST APIs.

3. Swagger based API explorer that let you see and invoke APIs as you develop them.

4. Built-in user management, declarative ACLs and oAuth 2.0 provider to secure your APIs

5. Client SDKs (JS, Angular, iOS, Android) to help you consume APIs.

6. Strong tooling, including Yeoman based CLI tools and Web based StrongLoop Arc.

"It's different this time..."
It's quite a bit absurd to complain about technical solutions which fullfill the needs of users. If a source of income revolves around annoying users into paying and for them not to find a way around such annoyances, don't expect it to last forever.

In this model, I consider the whole tactic to be publishers relying too much on Google's policy in the first place. If they change that policy, said publishers are screwed. Anything that depends on a third party is doomed to begin with.

These things are temporary income at best. Publishers should not just "take the win and go home"; keep looking for other, better solutions.
There's a big difference - before these moves, DRM delivery of video had to be done using shitty nonstandard plugins or native apps, right?

Whenever this happens, usability suffers as well. And we had a real opportunity here to give users an open and non-broken standard as an alternative, on top of which alternative platforms for content delivery could be built, alternatives that could have won simply because of the ubiquitousness of the standard browser.

Besides, DRM is technically and fundamentally broken. All my respect for W3C has gone down the window.
Yeah, judging the angles and getting the ball to bounce in the right direction is really hard. But I'm gonna see if my kids can play this. I'm guessing they probably can.

Mozilla can implement/port WebGL for whatever platforms they want, but they can't implement Adobe Primetime DRM; they have to take whatever Adobe gives them.
Yeah, Python took lambdas from the more lispy languages and it took list comprehensions from Haskell, which in turn took them from Set Theory.

That's why I, in all honesty, consider prostitution a more respectable occupation than telemarketing - in the former case, both parties engage in voluntary trade and leave happy. In the latter, one party preys on unwilling and gullible, trying to take their money while giving them suboptimal-to-useless crap.
That is one of the first videos I've seen in a long time where I've thought "wow we can do that now?"
There's a real point hiding in the article, and not quite stated explicitly: If a language (call it X) exists and is widely used, because it's really useful for certain things, and another language (Y, say) comes along, then for Y to replace X, Y has to be significantly better than X at the things that X is good at. Otherwise Y gets viewed as "kind of interesting, but not worth the investment to make the jump", and languishes in obscurity.
The Discipline Based Testing Methodology
Hey Touche, I work on Firefox at Mozilla. We launched EME on Win32 (Vista+) first because that is by far the biggest share of Fx users. We will keep rolling out new platforms, the work will be long and hard. Streaming providers want to move off of Silverlight and Flash but will still support them for the foreseeable future, so content is still available.
This is a positive thing has been made, and I too have worked at publishers. You can't control these things and this tool prevents a user from having to jump through hoops to use a feature which is publicly available. Well done. You want your geek customers to have some chance of once-again enjoying reading these sites so let them back on them.
It doesn't help that the only language they could think of to compare Rust to is D.

While D is alright it was never really slated to be the "next systems language" in the way Rust is being positioned.

The other part of the argument that comes across as really weak is criticism of Cargo. That would make sense if the alternative had better tooling. However if you have ever tried to assemble libraries and a decent build process for them in a large C++ project you would know that Cargo is almost like a gift from god.

Claiming that Rust is "simple" because it doesn't have inheritance is also a straw-man. Inheritance is far from the only means of polymorphism and it's presence has little bearing on the overall power of the language. In fact I would argue Rust's trait system is actually the more powerful of the two, but that is just my opinion.

Overall the author comes across as trying to find reasons to dislike Rust for the sake of disliking it, as if they feel threatened by it's very existence.
My day job is currently writing embedded high availability code to a slightly modified version of the JSF coding standard (which is itself a modified version of MISRA for C++). There's a lot of safety that Rust would give us on top of C++ with the coding standard's rules, and we're waiting for Rust to simply mature a little.

Thanks. Can the other side of your contract complain if you simply don't come to work on some days? If they can complain then I believe you must have something specified, when not hours, then days.

Then said link is in violation of web standards that have existed for literally decades. I believe I've heard stories about google bots deleting entire forums, because the forums performed destructive actions via GET calls to specific URLs.

If what you said makes sense to you, ask yourself how google can crawl any URL at all, considering communicating anything to any server could trigger a destructive action.
Extensions that allow you to modify the referrer have been around forever.

Love this package. I was using PyBrain for a recent project, but I had an awful time getting it to work and found the performance equally awful. After stumbling upon Keras, I was up in running in minutes, and the huge performance boost of Theano allowed me to actually finish on time. Thanks for putting this together!
You're looking at the key which defines what CRITICAL means. Look further down the page for info about actual vulns. I believe they're running a bit late posting the vulns for 38 today.
This is fantastic:

"When you read that word cosmos, you might begin to imagine the most expansive physical world your mind can build. Deep fields of glittering, star-filled galaxies stretching out in every direction, and maybe into forever. But even that image represents only the barest sliver of what is meant by ‘cosmos’. To build a cosmos, you have to extend your imagination to all of space and all of time. Only one of Earth’s creatures can pull off that cognitive trick. All living things are attuned to their environment: bacteria can sense chemical shifts in their immediate surroundings; migrating birds know our planet well enough to wing annually across its whole face; dung beetles navigate by the light of the Milky Way. But only the human being lives inside a cosmos, and only recently."

Nobody writes about this kinda stuff better than Ross Andersen.

Agreed, with all the complexity that game development entails, it's liberating to use a technique that's so "lo-fi". Interesting seeing Notch put his levels together. The speed at which he moves from Paint to running level is something to aspire to. Our workflow was fast, but not that fast.
This, of course, makes the assumption that such monitoring actually does make our security stronger. But there's a lot of reason to doubt this.

Most recently, the shooting at Garland, TX. It seems the FBI knew about this ahead of time, and did a spectacularly bad job of warning the local authorities. But the attack was averted anyway, and according to the police chief there...

What does this all mean? Not much says Police Chief Bates, "Please note that the contents of that email would not have prevented the shooting nor would it have changed the law enforcement response in any fashion."

And as another Korean, have to agree on how superficial Koreans can be. It just never made any sense how conformity and outward displays of success became so important culturally. It's tough for me to ever associate with other Koreans given these are literally the opposite of my own personal values, but I always have to wonder what some of the advantages or insights such a culture might have that I'm missing. Doesn't matter how much Korean I speak or read or even write... I just can't get it to gel with me. It's like reading the Bible for me and an atheist.
Of course they are - they are probably checking the URL for phishing content or malware.
Really? I had some issues with the very first release of HTML5 Netflix, but it is pretty solid now.
I don't know if that's what they're trying to say but that's absolutely true, provided you're diligent, curious, and someone who does well with self-directed learning.
Right, but if you've never used one, you don't know what you're missing. The default of coding without one works just fine for most school projects.
Home-made newtonian telescope. 150mm aperture, 1200mm focal length (f/8). Panasonic G1 camera (DSLR-like but without mirrors). Camera lens removed, camera body mounted on telescope focuser, so the sensor was in the focal plane of the telescope primary mirror. A.k.a. "prime focus" photography.

Basically, the scope became the "camera lens".

Some post processing in Lightroom, mostly just cranking up contrast and saturation. Some denoising.

No idea what the exposure was, I just gauged it on the camera LCD so that I wouldn't get the over-exposure warning on the Moon surface.
This is some of the best marketing i've seen in a long while.

No. Not like that. Basically, its Google saying publishes must do this or they won't send traffic their way (via search result / SEO)

Its not publishers saying use Google over Bing over Yahoo etc.

Lest we fall into a vortex where you're only allowed
to browse the public web by logging in through Facebook

The other argument that this may hold water is similar exceptions when you come from social (Reddit, Twitter, FB, etc) where they often allow access. However not for the reasons you're suggesting. In that case its the publisher saying they don't want to cut them-self out of the conversation (who'd link to the NYT if it was alway a paywall or would immediately count against your monthly free views before you can determine whether you wanted to read it or not...). In such cases those exceptions are factored into the economics of whatever the 'free views' limit is.

Great point here. Never stop interviewing, always maintain your network connections, and make sure development that you do is associated with your personal brand so that it's portable.

I think the job posting clearly communicated that the applicant should at least have a basic grasp of JavaScript. On a related note, it's weird that the author claims to have experience with Ember/Angular.js or other similar frameworks without being able to write the FizzBuzz.
This is cool. I've been dreaming about something similar. In my mind though it would be smaller and could hitch a ride on your shoulder.
It's Google. They're notorious for using... less than advanced languages, to put it nicely. (C++, Java, Python, Go) Obviously it works for them. But just imagine if the founders had been more inclined to a LISP or an ML.

I'm not interested in this kind of dishonest contortion of facts.

GP claimed that Islam was a bad religion and pointed to a small number of Islamic extremists to prove their point.

That point is trivially countered by showing the genocides perpetrated by Christians against people from other religions -- and there is at least one genocide perpetrated by Christians that is still ongoing.

You're "only asking questions"[1] but you're ignoring inconvenient answers and refining questions in weird ways.

For example: You don't get to define which bits of the bible are relevant. The christians using the bible as a justification for murder do.

[1] "I'm only asking questions" is a troll technique. You probably want to stop that.
I agree - but to be fair you're assuming they haven't experimented. Micro-payments, dumb 'capthcha' based models, memberships, events, "premier access". All have been tried in various flavors. Some with limited success.

I'm not asking for you to dream up an alternative solution, but don't assume this is a problem that has not been given a lot of thought by many organizations.

This is partly why we are stuck with things like "native advertising" and pretty shit IAB ad units.
The loss of trust is what I think is most damaging.
These are cool, but...

1) 20 minutes is great if your sole purpose is getting video, but not if your sole purpose is surfing (let's say). A surf session might be 2 hours. Taking a break to put your dead flying camera away in the middle of it isn't ideal.

Still there could be work around for this at some point.

2) Air space. The real problem. If you're surfing (again) or skiing you'll annoy everyone with the sound of your drone.

Still for the more adventurous who get to surf or ski alone, this does look pretty awesome, but will never be as ubiquitous as the GoPro.

IMHO rendering totally different things depending on the http referrer should be considered as cloaking. It's basically the same practice than rendering a different thing if the User-Agent matches Googlebot.

I wonder what would happen to your site if you did this without being The New York Times.

Kudos to Jeremy for this.
I think the real "issue" here is that those paywalled content publishers want to get paid but also want the free advertising that comes with having a well indexed site.

It's a pretty interesting subject in my opinion because I can easily see arguments for both sides, and if we compare it to the real world we have the exact same "issue.

I can read an article that's on the newspaper's first page when it sits in the newsstand but I can't open it and look for any other articles without paying for the paper.

I think the real solution has to come in the form of a better subscription model. I usually get to paywalled sites wanting to read a single article so a subscription is a bit too much for me. If there was a way for me to get what I want by paying quickly, maybe using some sort of a federated payment platform (much like downloading apps doesn't require subscribing) I'd be more inclined to pay.
Makes sense from google's perspective. Why should they list sites that people can't access.
100% agreed. The time/money/stress burden this places on people is incredible.

IMO health care providers should be forced to charge one price, regardless of who's paying. That way it wouldn't take a lawyer and a quant to figure out with even 99% certainty what something will actually cost, and the insurance companies would each fight to lower prices for everyone.

It's totally nuts that there is no-one in, say, a hospital, who can tell you what you're going to pay for a given procedure. They can (sometimes) give you numbers, but they'll practically never even be what ends up on the bill, let alone what you'll personally pay.
I agree, but I'm not sure I would have said that without first getting clobbered by the AI. The list of really hard things for a human seems to be growing these days.

It was.

> Knowing "HTML/CSS/JS" is different than building an entire application (just an example).

FizzBuzz doesn't test ability to "build an entire application". It tests fairly minimal ability to apply logical reasoning and apply it with a programming language.

If you can't solve FizzBuzz in a programming language, its not unreasonable for a company to see that as a strong negative signal for any job requiring proficiency in the language, and JS proficiency was advertised as a requirement for the job in question.
This extension simply modifies the referrer, overcoming some strange problem with certain websites where it alters page content depending on the referrer header - i.e. it fixes URL uniformity on broken websites.

I'd be all for this extension not needing to exist if these website owners would simply fix this obviously broken behavior.

Out of curiousity, what does your AMEX card offer if this is VarporWare?
Funny cuz the 2 laptops I've had in 2002-2003 had either a 1600x1200 or the weird 1400x1050 resolution which was popular for 5:4 14-15" panels at the time.

Heck with "720/1080p" screens becoming popular there was actually quite a decrease in the overall resolution in laptop screens between say 2005 to 2012 with 720 and 800/900 vertical resolutions screens being produced instead of the good old 1000+ vertical resolution screens we had previously.

I didn't want to upgrade a laptop for almost 2 years because i wouldn't use a screen with so little vertical real estate, now with 1440-2160p screens becoming popular again it's a very good time indeed.
And I hope that 3:2 screens actually catch up, I've been using a 1440x1440 screens now for some months now and the square format is just amazing for productivity, nothing is outside of your focus and they are just awesome for half screen vertical tiling.
It's waterproof, but still the lens will get wet. How did they solve that?
