I've never lived in London, but I find this story intriguing, esp given the stories of the rigorous exams needed to become a black cab drive in Lomdon.

I'd expect that there are private certifications or organizations that guarantee a certain level of competency. Otherwise some sort of review site for contractors like Angies list should either exist or be a massive opportunity in a market like you describe.
Actually, one doesn't need to scrape facebook usernames for getting an image dataset, FaceGrab works with userids as well, so you can specify a range of userids one wants to grab profile images of (e.g. 1-10000), and voila you will get all the images saved. Be wary of your hard disk space though.
Yes. Tahoma. I very much prefer Segoe UI, though.

MTurk is representative of the human population. I hear it often that people presume that MTurkers do not put in any effort for a few cents. But for most it is a hobby/nice pastime. They do it to make a few bucks, instead of playing chess or reading a book. Most people do not get a nickel playing chess, though really put in the effort. MTurkers are similar.

See here for an MIT experiment in blurry text transcription: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/uid/deneme/?p=329 for the unexpected accuracy resulting from crowd-sourcing.
Yes, having to constantly move your head doesn't sound good. Did you try moving the monitors further back, so that you could have both in your visual field?
I honestly think more folks need a much bigger fire up their ass.

Taking until 30 to start doing something productive with your life and to end the party-party-party phase is, well, slow? Why spend your most productive years in the wilderness?

I do much of what I do from compulsion - I never had the luxury of being able to sit around and contemplate my future on someone else's dollar - I left university heavily in debt, paying my brother's school fees, lumbered with a mortgage on a great aunt's house, with two parents who had gone into hiding on opposite corners of the globe, deep in denial over their divorce proceedings. I left uni with nowhere to go, no money, lots of obligations, and about a week to find myself income before my world imploded.

I found my first job three days after graduating - I went up to London, and went and annoyed financial services companies by literally banging on their doors and going 'interview me'. Eventually someone bit, I spent 18 months there before jumping ship and starting my own thing. This isn't some dim mythical past when jobs grew on trees, rather 2005, and most of my cohort ended up moving home with the folks because they couldn't find jobs - because they didn't try hard enough, because moving home with the folks was an option.

When you remove your fallbacks, all you can do is climb and hope there's somewhere you can take a rest further up.

When I look at my brother (seven years younger) and myself, there is one defining difference between his upbringing and mine - there's always been someone there to bail him out, to pick up the pieces, to solve his problems for him. Far too often that someone has been me. He's leading his own path, finding his own way, but he is going to be 30 by the time he finds it.

Finally, part of finding the path is realising that there is no path but the one you make, and that it is its own goal.

There's nothing at the end of it, enjoy the walk.
I think if you're more concerned with the pernicious effect of hairdressers lobbying for slight barriers to entry than Wall Street lobbying for ZIRP and license to commit fraud, then you've probably already completely lost the ability to measure payoff.

Pssst, let the developers that don't open their eyes beyond C and C++ think their languages are the only ones with such features. :)

Every time I see a C or C++ talk discussing value types or arrays, I get to think those guys never saw other programming languages, e.g. Algol/Wirth family.

Another example of the Lady Gaga culture, instead of learning about the world of programming languages.
> Currently anyone can declare himself a software developer

And that's great.

> That largely explains the number of sql injection vulnerabilities, unencrypted sensitive data, unintuitive software UI, unpatched servers, cross site scripting vulnerabilities, and other moronic software design decisions.

No, what explains that is market variety. You want a $200 Facebook clone, you get what you paid for. You want a well built iPhone app for $30000, you'll get what you paid for, probably. No regulations can protect clients from their moronic hiring decisions.
How to write Ansible module in Clojure
My teacher needs a license to show that he has completed education that should make him competent, continues to maintain competency, and has not faced any questions of conduct or discipline which should rightfully deprive him of such license.

I would like this strengthened to include that the individual is sound on a psychological or psychiatric level, since many teachers work with children. True story, I faced a lot of abuse during my childhood and so was in therapy to deal with it. Waiting to see the therapist one day, I got to stare down an abusive former teacher who happened to be in the waiting room, waiting for psychiatric services. Since her employer manages its own health insurance, they knew about this person's history of psychiatric problems because they paid the costs for her services. But the local teachers union has made it so that unless you actually rape a child during class, there's no chance of being fired from the school board.

NEVER read a think tank's opinion before checking out who funds them first:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brookings_Institution#Funders

In this case, the fact that JP Morgan is a major funder should make you more than a little suspicious that they're proposing tearing down 'regulations'.

When they try to convince you it's a good idea they talk about hairdressers. When they start writing bills to give to Congress it becomes about reducing capital requirements and deregulating derivatives.
Sure, but you're not going to tournaments unless you're already a serious player, and if you're a serious player you're going to be buying new cards on the regular. The tournaments and such are really just icing, from WotC's perspective.

Websockets? HTML5 Websockets will always limit your throughput to the point that maxlength configuration doesn't mean much (just test with 1M messages). All browsers have their own internal limitations and idiosyncrasies, in my experience.
We solve the bootstrapping problem with an internal ELB instead.

Autoscaling Groups can be configured to have instances join multiple ELBs. We have one be the regular ELB to access the instances with, and the other is an internal ELB that only allows connections from instances in the cluster to other instances in the cluster on the etcd port (controlled via security groups).

When an instance comes up, it adds itself to the cluster via the internal ELB's hostname. The hostname is set in Route 53.

The biggest issues we've been having with etcd continue to be simultaneous reboots and/or joins to the cluster. It would also be great if the membership timeout feature that used to exist in 0.4 made its way back in. Right now, each member has to be explicitly removed rather than eventually timing out if it hasn't joined back in.

Looking forward to hear any other approaches folks have taken.
I have developed a loathing for think pieces which put forward the ludicrous proposition that all programming, or worse yet all "tech" work, is somehow more or less identical and thus requires the same workflows and benefits from the same advice.

I think you took most of that meaning from an angry voice inside your head - not from what he wrote.

And the background music is a pretty huge deal for all streamers I watch on Twitch (I'm a daily visitor.) Almost every game streamer displays a marquee-like box showing the details of the current track.

There are also music streams on Twitch, wonder what Google will do with them.
Thanks for this. I added your example with slightly different form!
A humble idea:

Maybe it's a case of "developer interest dissonance". Technical people digging technical problems (cache hit issues) versus business logic... which might be why they "got into computers ".
"it's training on wikipedia. It's learning the meaning (and multiple senses) for every word it can find."

I don't think that is entirely correct. After cursory reading of the paper, my understanding is that they look up a list of word senses for each word in a dictionary (or multiple dictionaries). And then they try to learn something about each of those word senses from wikipedia (that is they create seperate word embeddings for each of those senses). So what they do not do is to learn what senses a word has. That is done by the humans who created the dictionaries.

What that means is that they cannot pick up new senses of words, which doesn't matter for answering IQ test questions because these questions rarely change and are typically based on well established word meanings.

Unfortunately it makes this approach less than ideal for things like understanding the news (something I'm working on), where new contexts of words keep popping up all the time.
Yet when the donors of the Brookings institute (like JP Morgan) create artificial scarcity massively in excess of what a hairdresser can do, that they can profit from, they can rely upon Brookings' silence.
Not sure if you're serious, but I don't think the fact that Apple is influential enough to be able to get the mouse as a legitimate face makes it not as playful.

Also, if the parent hasn't seen it, Apple Watch's particular brand of animated emoji is rather unusual - I think it's somewhat garish, unusually for Apple, but it's certainly an attempt at... something. Drawing is certainly not a normal expectation for such a tiny screen; measuring heartbeats is one thing, but sharing them is another, and... yeah, I shouldn't bother responding to trollish comments.
>People in the US complain

This article isn't 'people' complaining. It's a mouthpiece mainly for a group of select US corporations.

You know they don't give two shits about hairdresser barriers to entry, either. Judging by the list of members, they want deregulation for the finance industry.
You can, but that will require additional work, first you will have to use the search feature of facebook graph api to get the userid of the email address and then finally, get the profile image from that userid using FaceGrab.

Now note, while getting the profile photo can be achieved without any login, however, if you want to get userid of a user from email address, you would require authorization token which you can get by logging in and creating a facebook app.
Licensing requirements and existence of a welfare state or high taxation are fairly different uses of government that don't necessarily go together. For example, Texas has low taxes and a poor welfare system, but is quite enthusiastic about licensing requirements.
Cut the life line. As per my above post, I left home with nothing but a heap of obligations and nowhere to go.

Most of the successful people I know have absent parents - either dead, abusive, insane, or just totally uninterested - and younger siblings they've looked out for.

Most of the bleeding idiots I know who aged 30+ sit around spending their parents' money have lovely, kind, nice, enabler, parents.
anyone use a 21:9 screen? like these http://www.lg.com/uk/ultrawide-monitors

That strikes me as an admission that there IS a productivity gain by having more than one monitor though, physiological issues aside.
That decision eliminates a lot (50%, 75%, 90%?) of the complexity that comes with GPG and most CA architectures. It also means the keys can be typed in by hand.
The Apple ][ had a lot of fonts for the third party hires character generators (and dot matrix printers of course), but they were usually fixed width and what we would now consider very lowres. But I used to love listing out my Basic program in the fancy script font.

https://books.google.nl/books?id=pD0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT7&lpg=PT7...

In fact Bob Bishop's early "Apple Vision" demo used his own machine language HRCG with the same font as in text mode so it could draw text on the screen (which was an amazing feat at the time).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiWE-aO-cyU

The zero page COUT character output routine vector set so you could just PRINT characters and they would appear in hires. But when you ^C'ed the program it would print out "BREAK" and the basic prompt on the hires screen, then call the CIN character input routine, which went through DOS and was not revectored to the HRCG, so that DOS would reset the COUT vector to normal text mode output, so none of the subsequent text would go to the hires screen. It was maddenly frustrating that it could write any text onto the hires screen while the program was running, up until you broke the program, and then no more. Later general purpose HRCG's solved that problem and added more fonts, so you could use the computer with hires text in any font. It was slow (especially scrolling) but luxurious and worth it!

http://apple2history.org/spotlight/bobbishop/

I can't remember the name of the HRCG I used, but it might have been Beagle Brothers or something like that. They even had variable width text with FlexType!

And then there was Mike Koss's "The Terminal" with its 3x5 font that could fit 32 lines by 70 characters on the screen! I fucking loved that program, and used it a lot, with my face pressed up against the screen.

Streaming a game in real time with low bandwidth requirement is a problem we've had a solution to since the dawn of multiplayer games but that seems to have been forgotten in modern games: Spectator mode.

You use your game client to connect to the same server that the actual game is playing on, only receive the small packets of player information and then render it locally.

This will of course eventually also overload the server with enough spectators but some kind of forwarding proxy should be able to solve this easily.

Voice commentary and a professional host choosing the best camera angle is still missing but this is also something that could be embedded into the game if the game developers really wanted to.
Licences for hairdressing has little to do with restricting entry. It's an attempt to protect people from the harm of incompetent hair dressers - some of the chemical products used can cause chemical burns, for example.

HN is pretty dismissive when talking about jobs that other people do. Hair dressing isn't super hard, but it does require some skill and training. That's why hair dressers are currently on the list of desired professions for immigration into Australia, allowing people to enter Australia as a skilled professional.

Why would one care about latency? If you're just watching, does a couple of seconds of latency really make any difference?

Even during soccer games, where there's often 20+ seconds between the radio & cable transmissions, I've never seen it being a problem. People just choose turn off the radio.
Yes, this is super cool. I think every engineer should bookmark this link, saves the trouble of visiting 10s or 100s of websites in order to get to relevant material.
>at the expense of another group (usually the poor)

Because hairdressers are some of the richest people you know?

I'm kind of okay with them having some occupational barriers to entry, actually. It's not like they earn a lot anyway, and it makes up for some of the absolutely egregious and enormous political privileges granted to the 1% which are completely ignored both in this article and by the people commenting on it in this thread.

I know two companies running running openshift on Mesos. The reason modern Paas aren't enough, is the factat some scale you're not just running web services. But also rather complex data pipelines involving distributed data systems like kafka, spark, cassandra, etc .. and a simple paas has issues handling those workloads. That's where Mesos shines.
As for the user value, I consider having an uptime system, providing reliable and intelligent service based on data processing, by efficiently using your resources is has an important business value.
I picked a 29" one up a month ago. I haven't done any development work on it, but for the other work I've done it was much nicer than a single 16:9 and less annoying to manage than multiple monitors.
Cannot try the admin panel, because apparently it was locked.

That's the core of the problem, the license means little because the union will generally fight tooth and nail for any teacher that faces discipline.

Which would you rather have, a teacher that taught and inspired your 6 year old kids, or a generic licensed teacher?
You could also dynamically link.
Agreed, Its a brilliant move by YouTube, I am surprised they didn't bring this earlier. People were already using YouTube to show their game footage for a long long time.
I'm not sure why you are responding to me here, but don't put words in my mouth. Your question was, "If it's patent free, why are people paying for it as I linked to?" - there are other reasons to purchase a technology than just the patent.

Let me spin it another way, and put the ball back in your court. Not that this proves anything, but has anyone (recently) purchased a license for ECC patented technology, that wasn't a license for a certicom specific implementation?

Seriously, someone who is an expert in this field (if not the expert), has already made a pretty clear statement here on patent problems wth Ed25519: http://ed25519.cr.yp.to/software.html.

As of 2015.06.11 "The authors have not been notified of any claims of patent problems wth Ed25519."

One for docs, two for IDEs, two for game clients - need to debug multiplayer after all. And all the related stuff like inviting a friend to a game and matchmaking. On multiple consoles. And PCs.

Even if I'm not doing PC multiplayer, preferably a second computer as well - the first one's rebuilding the universe because I fixed a typo in a common header of my C++ project.
I'm not sure I understand your comment. If you're speaking about Zurl limits, the max-size option has no effect on WebSockets since of course the session could go on forever.
Indeed! It never ceases to amaze me how easy we have it now. Ten years ago or so, when I first wanted to teach myself how to make PCBs, it took me weeks just to get what I needed to make them at home. There was no way I could afford to make a couple of boards at a professional shop, and there were barely any in my area anyway.
Would be interesting if there was a game-independent spectator protocol. Hmm.
No need for the "well-actually", that's not the point. You might as well question whether engineers will be ordering other people to make nuts in the first place.

That's correct. But it is possible to specify a context container where the highlighting is executed so if you change parts of the document (like around this container) it doesn't change the relative path.

Example:

<html>

<body>

<article id="myContextContainer">

<p>...</p>

</article>

</body>

</html>

If you add or change words and paragraphs of course, that would make the highlighting unstable. You could also restrict the marking to a specific paragraph only (and set the context accordingly). It always depends on the application this library is used for. But if anyone has a good idea how to compensate that I'm open for suggestions :)

Thank you for your feedback.
It would depend on what and how you are writing. A user manual could be much easier to write with the program on a second monitor and I have considered moving in a second monitor for sources when I am blogging, but if I was writing a novel I doubt it would make much of a difference - in that case I would want to have any notes on piece of paper.
As many high payin regulated jobs, thise inside have connections which let them 'recommend' and 'ease' the entrance of close, selcted friend/family in the field.

Then you get dynasties and as much as we pretend regulation to be meaningful when they rot in such way the licenses just become 'favor money' and the whole category starts smelling

The point is that there is a right way to do things, and a wrong way to do things, and engineers give instructions so they better be careful about what they're asking people to do.

I've had to metaphorically chisel plenty of nuts from a solid block of metal because of some instruction from an engineer somewhere.
Imagine how would it all play out if game producers enforced their copyright as strictly as Hollywood or Music industry does.

Namely no game footage allowed unless you pay as as much as we want because it's derived work.

I doubt there'd be Twitch or YouTube Gaming.
