This is a follow-up to a post back in February. The Piñata was originally meant to run for about a month but the team has kept it running much longer (it's still going).

From the FAQ:

>If your ISP provider is filtering email ports 25 going out you will have to use a SMTP relay. If It blocks port 25 comming in you won't be able to have self-hosted email address. Note that in both cases it won't prevent you from having a fully confidential email address, and that these blockages will be automatically detected and you Own-Mailbox will only propose configurations that will work.

So from that I think that it can use the ISPs email server.
Comcast busses class still has all their IP's in many RBL's, this product won't work reliably for deliverability.
Ryanair have gotten a bit better, mainly due to the actual experience of buying tickets from them online recently becoming much less of a hassle than it used to be.

Still, there's no chance they'll go easier on carry-on and checked baggage: for them, that's about minimising fuel usage and maximising profit.
Pretty sure that back in the day 37 Signals said that one of the mistakes they made was giving away a free plan for their apps, and that if they could undo that they would have.

Pricing is HARD - properly hard. It's so easy to get an imbalance between value offered and amount paid. It's equally as easy to get distracted by competitors undercutting you. Solution to this? Never compete on price, it's much better (and more sustainable) to offer value that sets you apart. At least this is what we've done with my SaaS B2B app http://www.staffsquared.com and so far so good :)
Globally markets are 24/7/365 (+/- 1s). You are speaking of just one particular market.
my question exactly. your home ip is going to have to use dyndns or something i guess, really wish they would talk about this on the site.
Yep. Both Thread and Fiber are abstracted into a Strand. So Strand.currentStrand returns the current fiber/thread, Strand.sleep sleeps etc.. Locks and channels work with strands, too, so that both fibers and threads can synchronize on the same data, and even actors are assigned to a strand, so that an actor can run in either a fiber or a thread.

Then, you pick the strand implementation (lightweight or heavyweight) -- heavyweight for computation-heavy code like video encoding, lightweight for anything that blocks often -- and if you pick a fiber you can further select a particular scheduler, with the default being work-stealing (like in Erlang or Go), but you can plug your own (and control such stuff as CPU pinning for certain schedulers).
We regularly debate whether to continue offering a free tier. Usually one of us will read a blog post like this and we re-start the conversation where it left off last time. In our case, the free plan has survived because, with real analysis, they cost us almost nothing, ask for almost no support, and help us create mindshare of a service that many of our potential customers haven’t discovered yet. I’m not certain we’re correct to keep it, but so far we’ve not found anything that convinced us to stop offering it.
My brother used to work for an atomic clock company. Their array of clocks was the 2nd most precise next to NIST in Colorado, he said, and when small fluctuations in the earth occurred, their's was another point of contact for GPS timekeeping (allegedly). Reading through the OP, I remember that this sort of mid year leap second happened a few years back with the Japanese major earthquake. My brother said that they had to reset all the clocks about a millisecond due to the shifts in the rotation of the earth because of the quake. One would think that the programmers would have written into these market timing devices a simpler way to adjust these calculations, seeing as these timing updates keep on happening.
Here's what Wolfram wrote about Mathematica vs lisp in the first Mathematica book: http://reference.wolfram.com/legacy/v1/contents/4.2.7.pdf

I don't know enough about lisp implementations to know if these differences still hold, but they still hold for Clojure and ClojureScript, for example. Though some people have done some experimentation like https://github.com/kovasb/combinator

In the email under discussion though Wolfram was beginning work on SMP, which preceded Mathematica by about 6 years and influenced the design of Mathematica both in what to do and what not to do: http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2013/06/there-was-a-time-befo...

I think trying to write your apps in this way hides the underlying client-server architecture.
Your solution isn't open source. Why would anyone trust your software? How do I know it's not just a binary nginx with some extra performance tweaks?

I'm sorry, but your product seems to be fake and doesn't seem trustworthy at all.

I'll stick to open source.
> Creating an object and creating a closure both need to allocate memory in the VM, but the closure doesn't need to expose its internals the way an object does and therefore can be further optimized by the runtime.

Actually... creating an object instance via a constructor lets the runtime use an internal class, which improves performance (as long as you don't modify its properties post-construction). This is a well-known aspect of V8 performance.

Both your quotes are followed by BMI index, which technically doesn't take into account fat/muscle ration by definition.

As a blind programmer I would grab one of these if I could. I don't use braille much when programming because of the one line limitation. I now use it for looking at complex expressions but something like this could make a big difference with being able to view indentation for if statements and loops.

I would pay for your software, but only if it's actually open source to even be able to check that it's actually doing what you're claiming it does.
At first, they didnt care about those clubs, but a lot of pressure came from foreign entities, calling that activity «a menace to the western economy», and even a US senator called it «economic terrorism». I guess that the world bank, and IMF were afraid that if those clubs were successful, they could pose a really bad example for other countries, as the government was not able to control them.

Consider that at its peak, 1 out of 7 citizens was involved in a barter club.

There is not doubt about the govenment involment in the falsification of pseudo-currencies, because some were even printed in the same paper used to print bank checks, money paper, same ink, same printers.... it was a coordinated attack to undermine the confidence on the system. And it worked much more efficiently that whatever they could do with the use of force...
If your only political involvement is to vote, then no I don't think you're going to have much success in influencing policy. There's a whole lot more you can do: attend council meetings, participate in the q&a at debates, work within a party (where applicable) to support candidates and issues you believe in, write well-researched articles intended for an audience that doesn't already agree with you, or even run for a position in government yourself.
> but don't we have the ability to 100% simulate the rocket physics and the code it runs on in a simulation environment?

No, we don't. While we can do this very well for the "high level" physics, we can't do it very well for the "low-level" physics such as -- for one example -- the detailed effects of turbulent flows (both outside of the craft and inside of the plumbing), which are usually modeled based on averages of aggregate effects and random models because a detailed deterministic model is impractical (both, IIRC, because doing so at the level we could in theory do is too computationally expensive to do in practice, and because even our theory is pretty limited when it comes to turbulence.)

> I imagine with proper simulation this should have been catchable.

Its possible that there is some level of simulation which would have caught this (we won't know unless they figure out with enough detail what the problem was), but even if it would have been possible, it may not have been cost effective.

A Warning from Canada: Same-Sex Marriage Erodes Fundamental Rights
One thing I'm surprised the article hasn't mentioned is that coloring is also a profession, and there are people whose careers center around coloring line art (typically using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet). They're called colorists (and some people are now saying "color artist"), and they're core parts of a typical comic book creative team. They get their names listed on the cover and everything.

Some of these new coloring books for adults may actually serve a very practical purpose: to provide practice material for potential colorists.

Speaking of comic books, some of these new coloring books for adults are put out by Marvel Comics. What makes these books "for adults" is that they are filled with un-colored line art from actual comics Marvel has published, and they cherry-pick pages with high levels of detail. You color in one of those books, you're replicating work that's been done by actual professionals. This isn't kids' stuff at all. It honestly makes me wonder if Marvel is publishing these books specifically as a recruiting tool for colorists.

How to Shoot Video for Virtual Reality (360 and 180 Video)
Certainly.

But if object instantiation / garbage collection is your bottle neck, you should be using an object pool, anyways.

You wouldn't put _every_ object in an object pool, though - only those which obviously impact performance after identifying them as a bottleneck.

I'd hope you optimize for maintainability before you optimize for performance, otherwise you'll end up optimizing bottlenecks that don't exist.
You're falling prey to a common mental failing, assuming that because something can never be perfect, it's useless to try and make it better.
You're trying to dismiss the benchmark because you don't like the result. But actually the tests do show max latency with high concurrency which is the question at hand, and AFAICS the only factor not covered is a minutes-long test that might surface any GC impacts. So they are an excellent base for comparing performance.

Again if you or anyone can prove a significant GC impact serving up text or Json definitely hit up the techempower folks and make a case for extending the test length. It might help improve Erlang's standing which right now utterly sucks in comparison to Java performance (probably because of the maturity of the JVM).
Logistics in India. If you solve this, Flipkart, Snapdeal and everyone else will buy your services. The reason for this varying state tax laws and shitty bureaucrat
There is a very real problem of people not being aware of their impulse to buy. In fact, it's the foundation for all advertising: plant messages in the buyer's mind well before the buying occurs.

I know that sounds Manchurian Candidate-ish but that's the nature of Marketing and Advertising.

So perhaps the author is not entirely wrong in positing that distraction is, in a way, fueling meaningless purchases?

It also worked for adoption of webservices for every part of Amazon's business. Basically, Bezos sent out an email to everyone and said that all systems would be compliant, or every employee maintaining that system would be fired. It has to be that way in big companies with major software architecture/infrastructure changes, or everyone will just passive-aggressively make it somehow not happen.
New nanogenerator harvests power from rolling tires
There are steps on telegraph poles above a certain point - the wooden ones at least. Modern metal ones have signs that forbid the use of ladders and they end up using cherry pickers - which seems a bit backwards in an odd sort of a way.
I've worked on such a system before and am a fan of the idea. First I've heard of the term Data Lake though.

The main benefit as I see is when data sources are external, with ill-defined or ambiguous schemas. Often when you fit data into an ETL pipeline, you find out issues at the output of the pipeline, but the fixes need to happen way upstream. Often this involves rebooting the entire process entirely and renormalizing all your data somehow.

If you delay interpretation and normalization to later in the processing pipeline (i.e. in the system I worked on, we did it lazily at interpretation time), then doing smarter things with the data is a matter of changing code -- and it's a lot easier to ship fixes to code than to ship fixes to data!
I am guessing because people would love to see what kind of problems are out there to potentially solve.

I know I would, thats why I asked the question that way :)
I have seen it implemented in one of the financial services companies. Both data warehouse and and data lake type databases lived on MS SQL servers (with the usual production/testing division), and nightly batch processes performed clean up from data lake to data warehouse. It kind of worked.

The usual problems with these are:

(1) getting hold of external clean up functionality. Sometimes it was stored with the database itself as stored procedures, but sometimes it was not. Remedy: make sure clean up functionality is readily available.

(2) dealing with new kinds of "dirt" (i.e. problematic data in the data lake). Remedy: this is unavoidable. The best you can do is to insert lots and lots safety checks and diagnostics into your clean up programs

Whether the clone clause is applicable to only products would require examination of the agreement.
If I remember correctly the GPU is heavily involved in booting and running code on the Raspberry Pi while the ARM CPU is more of a coprocessor, or something like that. The GPU require a proprietary binary blobs to be present on the SD card to boot. It's a pretty odd computer and not open at all.
The gate security slowdown is irrelevant because there is inevitably a backup at the door of the plane for all but the early boarders.
Volunteer for challenging work that is not slated for you, when possible.

Keep an open mind and be humble when viewing the work of your more experienced colleagues. You will see things that will seem downright silly to you, but you have to consider that there was probably a very good reason for why something was done the way it was.
The trunk does come with the capsule during launch abort for Dragon 2. It has fins on it to provide aerodynamic stabilization during the abort.

However, the trunk is later jettisoned, so only the capsule is recovered in the end.

Except Lisps that are intended for numerical work, like MACLISP on PDP-10s at the time, did have arrays. And as noted, MACLISP was around then faster than DEC's FORTRAN (an issue DEC fixed not too much later).

Lispers aren't stupid, which should be distinguished from how easy it is make a simple Lisp. Making a performant one takes effort on the scale of making any similar language implication good and fast.

>There are times when, as a cyclist, I blow through a red light. I’ve got momentum, I don’t feel like stopping, I’m running late.

I wish there was a more practical way than increased surveillance to prove the pedestrian/cyclist at fault.

Cars have momentum too. Physics makes it so they can't come to an instant stop. Then cyclists wonder why they get hit by cars when they run red lights.

>“every time a cyclist stops, they lose kinetic energy and have to work harder upon starting off in order to accelerate and restore that kinetic energy"

If this is an actual justification cyclists try to use, might I suggest investing in a car?

> http://www.citylab.com/commute/2013/05/why-we-should-never-f...

It's sad that this level of entitlement doesn't seem rare among cyclists (incl. the ones I know/have spoken too). They matter more than everyone else, so they should be allowed to break the law. Then cyclists wonder why most other pedestrians dislike them.
> while being much simpler

The sum of the init functional that can deliver what systemd is doing (and it is good to do those things) is more complex than a suite of tools for launching daemons in an unhelpful environment. Sure.

I submit the universal configuration file tooling is fantastic in a day and age where we provision and configure machines with template-based tools like salt and ansible rather than synchronized command tools like puppet.
Make customers stickier. Get them to try a product for more than 12 seconds (average web attention span).
This is great timing because I'm working on a similar system for a research center.

The data lake is a great idea for researchy or data-sciencey shops where the analysis is the bread and butter. What happens here is that people get data, clean it themselves in ways only they care about, and then go about their business.

The problem is there is no one centralized repository of good, clean datasets. Instead it's spread across people, who (unwittingly) hoard domain knowledge on them, and then are now stuck with doing anything else that's required with it, as well as passing it off to other people. Then these people leave. So people keep repeating work in a non-DRY way. Or they do clean it for everyone else to use, but the format and naming isn't standard across datasets, or is spread across weird locations, which again complicates the workflow.

Instead, what we want is an internal tool to be able to search and browse data (think data.gov or CKAN), to have a native command to do that from within their tool of choice (R, STATA, matlab), and to have a process that goes with this.

The hope for the end result is a streamlined process where when people wonder if something is viable or interesting, they can find a load a dataset within seconds and test a theory, as opposed to having to ignore the impulse because it's too much of a PITA.
So, the "Will remain free forever" line was a lie, huh? I wonder if some litigious user can try to hold you to it..

How to solve SAT in exponential time?
Yeah, this is definitely one of those places where if you didn't test and analyze the system relatively well before deployment, you probably shouldn't be surprised that someone came along and did this. Is it nice/fair, no, not really, but if you're going to be moving lots of money in and out, you really ought to be developing to the same standards as maybe a brokerage or bank (not that they do exceptionally well on this front either). Also doxxing this guy in this context seems rather juvenile, especially given that it's unlikely it will help your cause in any tangible way.
I get the same impressions. Even working with ClojureScript professionally for ~3 years, contributing to the compiler (a tiny, tiny bit), and diving deep into a lot of the libraries... the tooling story is way too chaotic for me.

But I'm somewhat OK with it, as the changes generally seem to be positive, and I have hope that the stability will coalesce around a good, rather than rotten-but-papered-over, core.
Considering how miserable many flights are, lots of people would jump at the chance to get out the back door and get out of the plane faster.
