It's really just a time filler to cover the gap between when classes end and a school game begins. Growing up in the US I think we had ~1 or 2 per year from ~8th-12th grade. They were also generally fairly short as in 10-15 minutes with I think one lasting 45 when the other team was late.

PS: Most games did not take place during the school day, but I think they scheduled a few that with a small overlap if a team would otherwise get home really late during a week night. I think there much more common in low density areas for this reason.

Edit: Though like all such traditions it's been morphing for a while. With some schools holding them before big events and or in the middle of the day.
Firefox actually does do this. It can also use whatever gstreamer codecs you have installed (e.g. gstreamer-ffmpeg/libav).
That's actually a cut of a longer video. What's missing is the beginning, where they stab the battery with a knife. Unless you pierce a battery, that kind of combustion is unlikely to happen. If it swells up to the point where the casing fails it could, but you'd probably notice that before it became a dangerous issue.
Shopping the site around to get more than $500 million is just ego boosting at that point. That's more than enough money to do whatever you want for the rest of your life.
Since you can see stars near the moon, you should be able to see stars near Pluto, which is less bright. More likely, there are no stars in the (very narrow) angle of the camera.
Same here. I actually thought I had damaged the backcover clips when disassembling to retrieve a wayward nanosim to microsim adapter. Didn't realize it was the bulging battery until the random reboots finally forced me to buy a battery on the aftermarket.

The one downside I've noticed is that even with my "OEM" replacement battery (who really knows with these things), charging a lowish battery via a high amperage USB still takes significantly (multiples) longer than my iPhone 5 or 6.
You are. Here's a great idea, if you've never implemented a JVM don't tell somebody how it works.

Java VM isn't native code. Serialized objects are "Field"(s) within the JVM. Which is short hand for a "Growable Page File" more or less. Which starts at a fixed 32bit address. How does that work? JVM implementation takes care of that, so you decide.

On top of that whats inside the Field itself doesn't actually matter to anyone provided the same read/write opcodes do the right thing(s).

The serialization process starts by jumping to your initial field, copying the serialized data into another buffer. While checking integrity, and assuring that your data conforms to the serialization standard b/c its in memory representation doesn't. The fun part is when ever it encounters a RetAddr type it has to jump to that Field, and serialize THAT Field also, as that Field is part of the object your serializing. Of course you don't actually know whats in the Field without consulting its ClassField which gives you a basic prototype of what-is-where.

Furthermore what ever optimizations the JIT makes, it'll end up treating Fields more-or-less like stack frames. So you have to keep an active record of how it'll mangle memory, so you know how to untangle that when you want to do serialization.

Understand now?
Shock, the only browser that still uses NPAPI is the descendant of the one that invented it!

Really, at this point I think Mozilla is more interested in just getting rid of plugins than trying to implement an alternative to NPAPI - why put all the effort in to support something like PPAPI when plugins should be dead within the decade anyway?
I'm surprised by the prevalence of the green dots, particularly in San Jose.

This is more common than you might think, particularly on older iPhones. I co-own a repair store in Austin, TX and we get several of these every month--usually on older iPhones that have been dropped "just right". (Not saying yours was the fault of a drop, but if you leave it plugged in 99% of the time, that was probably your issue.)

Anyway, it's stupid easy to replace these batteries--they're just glued in, usually, so you just buy a replacement battery and back cover, use a tool to pry up the battery, place a new battery in along with some adhesive to hold it down, and pop the new back cover on. One pro tip: Buy at least one more new battery than you need, as some percentage of them, no matter where you buy them from, are defective.

We do these in-store for iPhone 4/5 in under 10 minutes--I don't doubt you can do something similar on the N4.

Alexa ranks reddit at 24. The other user content focused stuff high on the list are:

2. Facebook (10,082 employees)

3. YouTube (a lot of employees)

6. Wikipedia (~250 employees)

8. Twitter (3,900 employees)

13. LinkedIn (7,600 employees)

15. Sina Weibo (unknown employees)

24. reddit (71 employees)

30. Tumblr (306 employees)

32. Imgur (<50 employees)

Given this, I think it's rather impressive that they only have 71 employees (imgur is impressive too).

Another possible improvement: people should describe a possible ideal solution as well. The problems now seem easy to solve but maybe its only because the description is too vague.

The Rising Appeal of Apprenticeship
Here's our stock answer to this question, which seems to come up a lot:

A lot of very talented people won't want to participate. There are amazing engineers with families whose discretionary coding time is committed entirely to open-source projects. It is not our thesis that we can or should pull those people away from that work.

But those people also have no trouble getting noticed by employers.

Our target candidate is in the workforce but underemployed. They have an aptitude for solving hard, lucrative problems. But they've never had the chance to get their hands dirty, and so nobody will give them that chance. Our target candidate is a .NET line-of-business backend software developer at a boring insurance company who is secretly one of the industry's best distributed systems software debuggers. They shouldn't be wiring yet another database row up to yet another Struts HTML form. They should be optimizing the wire protocol for a RAFT implementation at a software company. Only: nobody knows that yet, not even that candidate.

Those people exist. We think they exist by the thousands. I ran a recruiting project at scale for several years looking for them. We found them, over and over again. It was an incredibly gratifying experience for me, and so: I started a company to do it full time.

You're not one of those people. That's just fine. We're just going to find some great new people for you to work with.

What we can add to that now is:

If you're the kind of person who will mess around with microcontroller assembly for fun, or who will write tooling for random APIs just to see what they can make them do, you might be interested in goofing around with the Starfighter CTF regardless of your professional interests.

We had to pick a couple things to start with, and we think we picked ambitiously: low-level systems programming and high-frequency trading.

Does the CPAP need to do that? Assist in moving your chest I mean? It seemed from the video that they are targeting the collapse of the soft tissue in the throat. Perhaps the energy required to do that would have the side effect of assisting to raise the chest?

I've never used on of these devices so I'm curious about it.

How do you exhale? If it's forcing air in at a decent pressure then does it detect an exhale or are you expected to just push on through?

It seemed like from the video they airing would add pressure to the inhalation and switch off for the exhalation, or at least that's what I'd try and do, but then I don't know much about these things!
Congrats! Coincidentally, I was just showing the Rescale website to a colleague of mine, as an example of a platform that we could align with for a uncertainty analysis toolbox that we're developing.

I haven't had the chance to use Rescale yet, but everything I see and read makes it come across as a winner. I think there's a lot of growth in MDO (Multidisciplinary Optimization) for multiple industries and Rescale seems like the perfect platform to leverage integrated, high-fidelity simulation tools.

For instance, Concurrent Engineering (CE) is quite popular in the space industry these days but only really works for preliminary mission design, because of the lack of cohesion of tools during later phases. I think that Rescale has the potential to extend the idea of CE to detailed design phases too, and that would truly be a game-changer.

Definitely going to keep an eye on their jobs page!

Why does any NYC VC care about a drug charge (unless it was a felony... in which case, your story doesn't really add up)? You seem to have a lot of excuses for why things haven't worked out and none of them include yourself as a cause... Just something to think about.
Er, can you substantiate this? Wouldn't they prefer pocket puppet dictators? It seems keeping the region off balance is a cold comfort.
This is the most correct interpretation. Keeping the region unstable is a matter of policy for the US government, for various reasons. Instability brings certain circumstances which benefit the US greatly at this time.
Ah, the infamous "random shutdown" of the Nexus 4. It has caused me to be 30 minutes late at work a few times that one.

It's annoying really because in the end, there is absolutely NO accountability from either LG or Google that the battery won't work as expected after about two years. Thing is, the price range of the Nexus 4 doesn't exist in the Google mobile lineup anymore, with the Nexus 5 being about twice as expensive. So ultimately, I'll either have to stop buying Nexus phones or spend $400 on a Nexus 5.

In most states, these warranties last for four years. It's common for them to be disclaimed, though.
oops, missed that. Hmmm, that is a bit concerning. Wonder if they are all from the same manufacturing run.
Great point, just like tons of users are using 30boxes.com starting with the Firefox v3.0 calendar integration feature.

Ohhhhhh, wait.

Why is something like gecko.handlerService.schemes.webcal.0.uriTemplate default string 30boxes.com and still even a part of the firefox core? This decision just seems like it will end up as abandonware bloat down the line.
Costa Rica.

I'm not sure there are any others, though. Maybe Belize, though I'm not sure that counts as "Latin America".
> tl;dr: "out of warranty" is not necessarily the end of the story, although I don't know about the US.

In the US, there is no "statute" for contract of sale like you have in the UK. Its entirely what is written by the seller [which is the warranty], so yes, it is the end of the story :P

Generally, if its nearly an immediate loss/failure, you can do something more but that is about the only situation. Months/years later its whatever the merchant & manufacturer stipulated.

Wow, I might start reading this instead. I can actually comment there (and also submit multiple comments within a reasonable time frame!)
Off the top of my head, no. Sorry.
Off by default lets everyone choose to turn it on if they're interested. It also might clue in Mozillas devs that if they want people to turn it on, a setting in about:config isn't the only place you should be putting the button.

Off by default is neither removing user choice, nor is it preventing Mozilla from saying they ship with feature X. It is the right way to present it.
I can confirm that this happens regularly. For the team I work with it has been all Samsung S4/S5's that have had this happen. And almost all happened within the first year. Our Nexus 5's though area all good and happy.

What this guy said, I did so many iPhone 3g/3gs/4/4s. Not fair to call out nexus 4 as the only phone that does this. New battery and back assembly(which is removable) would do the trick.
I don't think Victoria got fired for saying she wouldn't do the AMAs anymore if they tried to monetize them. That's something you can say publicly without much issue, and it's not something you'd probably fire someone over.

It's almost certainly something interpersonal/HR related that caused Victoria to actually be fired.

Depends upon country+. I know of a few European ones where this is the case. Check for your country (several people have posted the UK government's summary of UK legislation already). One often has to specify the actual law that the company is breaking for things like this before the business acts in accordance with the law.

In one place I've had someone try to bill me for the ice and lemon in the jug of tap water (with no prior indication that they would be doing so). So yeah lot's of places will try to break this law.

The glass cliff was real with Pao's position at Reddit. Sam and Alexis are trying to spin Steve coming back as the second coming, but it's pretty clear that Reddit's honeymoon period with their userbase is over.

I don't believe Pao did a fantastic job, but it was pretty clear as soon as she was appointed that it wasn't because she was the best person for the job, especially considering the nature of Yishan's exit. There are a lot of misogynists on Reddit, but they weren't the majority. After it was clear that Ellen was not the reason for many of the changes taking place, I think a lot of people wizened up and realized her departure would only be symbolic. Unfortunately, it was still the right decision to let her go.

We're now down to a waiting game. I think Voat will continue to grow steadily as long as the site can remain stable, unless Reddit makes some significant community commitments. If any key community migrates over to Voat it will be the death knell of Reddit, as it will signal a large enough lack of confidence in the company to stop using the technology.

The Reddit lifecycle has been the most interesting of its type. I am incredibly interested in seeing if they can remain true to the community and also be profitable, but I know where my money is.
Other than it seems to only allows zooming in cities, its data is pretty wrong looking at the local map. I don't see the local manufacturing plant or any farm jobs.
btw, huge congratulations to the team there. Really awesome people.
Although I really like my Nexus 4 as a piece of hardware (generally, it just works) I have run into this problem before. Some googling around the issue indicates that it's fairly common, and may be related to the way the device does a poor job of offloading heat. (Due to the arrangement of the internals, a lot of the heat conducts back through the battery connector instead of into the case of the phone, shortening the lifetime of the battery, or so I read somewhere.)

The heat sink issue can apparently be relieved[1], although I haven't tried this on my own device yet. I did replace the battery, though, after the first one failed and started swelling (not as badly as the pictures, but bad enough to deform the back case noticeably).

I'm a game developer who has used flash in the past, and does HTML5 mostly now.

HTML5 without WebGL doesn't match the functionality offered by flash, even for just 2D content.

HTML5 with WebGL runs fairly poorly on a lot of machines, and not at all on many as well.

I'm not really sad to see flash go (though I truly hope there is a way to preserve it's content, and would be very sad to see that go), but HTML5 is a ways off from providing the feature set and reliability of Flash.
I think a more narrowly focused one that tracked 'furthest reach' rather than state religion would be more interesting.. like watching the near east from, say 2000-bc to 600 AD only... seeing the persians sweep through with zoroastrianism, then alexander with greek philosophy, then the romans, and buddhist and hindu missionaries, and so on..

Well, it's not as if the CIA participated in the coup in Iran, had a change of heart, and decided to change its ways. Quite the opposite! The CIA has shown a continued willingness to intervene and overthrow regimes that don't toe the line. Here's a list you might be interested in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_United_States_foreign_r...

Notice the last item on the list: Bush authorized the CIA to carry out operations aimed at destabilizing the government of Iran. So, yeah...Iran's probably not crazy to be worried about US aggression.

Not only that, but remember when Bush called out the "Axis of Evil"? Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. Of those three, one had nuclear weapons at the time, one was in the process of developing them, and one had disassembled its WMD programs under UN supervision. Since then, one of those three has been invaded by the US, one has only received sanctions from the US, and one has received food and fuel aid from the US.

Do the math...

Is Shumway a possible replacement for Scratch 2's flash implementation? They seem to think that there are some flash things that just can't be done without flash:

motion, and touching colors from the video.

I really like Scratch, but it's a pity that it's implemented on a platform so many people think should no longer exist.
This is what engineering looks like. Makes other social networks look kind of pathetic especially with regard to team size.
In hundreds of years, let alone thousands of years, the Flash content isn't going to matter. Neither will those iOS and Android apps. Flash has been dying for 5 years. A quicker death will be better for everyone. If we wait another 5 years, the problem will just grow.

Also, consider that the next couple billion people to come online will be mobile only. Why create content that they can't use?
