My 12" single of "Ipanema" from the B-52s is 3:58. The album version is 4:24.

My 12" single of "I'm So Excited" by the Pointer Sisters is 3:47. The album version is 3:53.

I doubt that'll convince you, either. But I recommend that you actually obtain a 12" disco single from the late 70's and a 45 and compare with your own ears. It's also fun to look at the difference in the grooves with a magnifying glass.
A person with experience may have some specific piece of knowledge, but no one claimed enimodas was incorrect for that reason. Nor did enimodas claim his knowledge was coming from a particular experience that he lacked.

As for priests and prophets, they're all talking to themselves and on that front everybody is equal...The honor killings bit is related to the ethics of killing...

Wait - are you using reason without having the specific experience or being a member of the privileged group? How does that work?

I think long names are relative. Jokes like these[1] don't come from a vacuum. I've seen serious code with sentence-long variable names before, and it does make it hard for me to read at a glance.

Katie Hopkins: ‘I identify with that murderer thing, where you click off’
Great article. And for anyone who didn't see it, to call this mode "optional" is putting it extremely mildly: to get enough power to run both amplifiers at once, they have to shut down the spacecraft's guidance system (!) and keep it pointed at Earth by using the thrusters to spin it up like a top. And this whole crazy scheme was developed after launch.
I know I should, but for right now talking on the internet about it (with the ignorance about whether I am truly anonymous blanketing me) is the most I can do. I have had bad experiences in group therapy, I did not find it helpful.

I have been diagnosed with PTSD, I know I show many symptoms of it. It makes me upset that it may have held me back in achieving goals in my life, but I just know that regardless, I need to take things slowly. I have too many emotions that distract and cloud my ability to think clearly about things I consider very difficult (mostly stuff in computer science and math).

So I just go really slow, as slow as I need to, and I wait for things to click, and then they do. I just try to forget that the rest of the world is still rushing by, and I remind myself that none of that matters to my own personal understanding about the things I want to learn about. I get discouraged a lot, and sometimes my mind can really feel completely clouded, and nothing I do seems to help it, and I can become very afraid that I will be lost in confusion forever. That I am either past my prime, or that I never really was smart, or that I'm too damaged to really persist and actually see the fruits of my labor. Sometimes I think it is good enough to be convinced into persisting despite knowing that I never will actualize, but that thought saddens me in an exceptionally destructive way.

I know I am strong and that if there's anything that really keeps me wanting to live day to day, it's being able to experience learning in the right way, and I consider myself lucky that I get to do that even though I work.
A Zero-maintenance system ? This is just what NASA is trying to build.

It's just a matter of relation of cost versus maintenance work.

If you want to build a zero-maintenance system by yourself, just try to imagine your service and servers will be launched over to Pluto or a comet, and will never come back.

But remember that you have zero-maintenance if you pay someone to do the maintenance in your place. That's what people generally do when paying for cloud services.
Maybe this helps:

It is shameful that it was done, but at the root, it seems to come down to: what is the product, and who are the users being swapped to who is the product, and what are the users.

Free services seem easier to hit critical mass with a low barrier to entry, yet unless it is a paid-by-end-users service, end users seem to get trampled like this.

Thanks, I'll take a look at Bugmuncher and Bugherd.
I use Cortana all the time now. I've posted here before how it feels like Star Trek, and it impresses me more and more as time goes on.

Example: The other day I said to my phone "Hey Cortana, where are some coffee shops with wifi around here?" And, you know, it worked. It even used the speech synthesis to talk to me. It's eerie having a conversation with the phone like that, using natural language, not even trying anymore to treat it like a computer (e.g. careful phrasing or enunciation).

I seldom open maps by hand anymore, but I ask the phone for driving directions all the time. I never set my own alarms, and for a long time, didn't know how to on this phone.

I don't use all the features Cortana has, like the flight tracking stuff, but I can see getting into the habit with that, too.

It just blows my mind how useful it is, and how little thinking I put into engaging with it as a computer-driven system anymore. Cortana's my first "it just works" experience with a computer, like, ever.
Failure to degrade gracefully, and leaving artifacts all over the page, on "unsupported" devices / browsers (which, thanks for caring, aren't upgradable).
I'm a long time user of Tree Style Tabs also, but I wish it had a better autohide implementation. The current implementation performs poorly (seems to rerender the tree structure animations on every unhide), and isn't responsive to touch input for unhiding (although Firefox for Desktop just sucks for touch in general, so there's not a huge loss here).

Tabs on side with autohide is the best of both worlds, in my humble opinion. With static tabs on side, the loss of horizontal pixels is mostly inconsequential when running the browser maximized, but really hurts when you want to snap the browser to one side of the screen on a 1080p monitor (and have dev tools on the other side, for instance).

I wish some browser vendor would implement something like this natively to make the feature more discoverable. I'm sure it'll be a hit amongst power users and be a powerful differentiator. I remember Chrome having side tabs in development at one point, but it was scrapped for reasons I no longer remember.
At least pinch-zoom is functional.
What bugs me is when a service changes, and you lose your own name... Not talking my given/family name, but the online handle I've used since before the web is "tracker1" ... that was my alias on my google profile (before the switch to google+), and it still hasn't been offered back... half the first to pages of results on google's own search refer to my profile on other sites... it's irksome.
The Firefox for Android app has a reading mode. Hopefully it will arrive with the Firefox for iOS app as well.

It isn't a fair comparison though, since a supercomputer with that throughput isn't working on incoherent serial workloads. An i7 Sandy Bridge can do at the very least 6 gflops per core at 3Ghz in my experience.
You could have said the same thing about Apple's PC business (with its small, hardcore audience) before it got a new lease on life with phones. Not only does brand matter, but people have reasons to prefer certain design characteristics.
In my experience, branching has only been mainstream since git became popular a couple of years ago. Before that, when using svn and other similar systems, branching per feature was unlikely in my experience and a major pain.

Just to give an idea of how many proofs there are (and can be), I went to high school with a girl who found a previously unpublished method of proving the Pythagorean Theorem around 2002. I think we intuitively know that PT is a sort of fundamental theorem for a huge number of different fields and the number of proofs reflects the number of different areas that it constrains.

Yeah, read/write conflicts don't seem to actually generate conflicts. e.g. imagine two processes p1 and p2:

p1: SET a 1
p1: BEGIN
p1: GET a
p1: SET z 1 # imagine this were contingent on reading a
p2: BEGIN
p2: SET a 2
p2: COMMIT
p1: COMMIT # expect conflict, but don't get one
p1: GET a # returns 2
p2: GET z # returns 1
Yeah, it seems to be broken when your browser window isn't wide enough.
You must have been swimming in money. College students, throwing entire computers away in the 1980s.
Sure I've seen it it did not run anything modern os wise. The MS DOS based control computer at my dads previous work place had an uptime of what was close to forever. We are talking stability in the range of ten to fifteen years. It ran a climate computer system control program and the control software newer crashed. Because MS DOS it was single tasked and the control program was very stable.

At the time there was little computer hacking activity so you did not have to update the software either. Backups was done to floppy disks and there was a reserve hotswap backup computer. For remote control you would dial into the computer via modem, first via 300/1200 baud that is 1200 bits per second. Then later at lightning 9600 baud.

I'm also sure you find very good old engineering in the computers of Voyager.
Yup. Every true professional realizes 100% code coverage is a fool's errand for this exact reason. Coverage is a useful metric. It's not the end-all or be-all, and anyone who claims it is doesn't understand the law of diminishing returns.
I remember (maybe it was the same service shodan) a year ago, looking at its scanning interface and seeing my instance of my toy database listed as open. I didn't think anything of it, and was too lazy to do anything about, but I've been aware for quite some time now that people will do ip scans against common ports.

This later came back to bite me in the ass when I started messing around with elasticsearch. Elasticsearch had a pretty nasty default that let you run arbitrary code from its query api and within hours my box was compromised.
What's the hardware inside these? Is it all custom made from the ground up?
It's very easy to make people stop doing this by making it illegal. It might sound obvious but I find that this aspect is often overlooked when tech people talk about these issues. You cannot work around the law. At least not in the long run. This is and must be a political battle.
It is a tough thing. I posted elsewhere a link to another blog post which describes the feelings in more detail. Here are two more: http://hopscotchtheglobe.com/so-youve-returned-home-after-tr... and http://www.ytravelblog.com/dealing-with-reverse-culture-shoc... .

There are multiple aspects. There's post-depression blues, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-vacation_blues , there's the excitement that comes from new experiences, funded usually from savings and not having to work, there's the difficult of talking about the experience without sounding like bragging. There's also the problem that at home you need to work more towards long term goals, which don't have the same immediate gratification.

As for FB, don't look at me - I stopped using it about 8 months ago. But my belief is that travel accounts bore people. That's why the travel shows (in the US) are often on public TV stations, and not prime time commercial stations.
Well my twitter handle is @pdp and there is a political party in Nigeria also named PDP. There is also this thing called "personal development plan". In other words, I need twitter spam filter because people don't know the difference between @ and #. Anyway, if you don't want to get in trouble just come up with a super unique username. Do the same for your personal site and your business site.
That's exactly the reason why I'm not reporting anything anymore. The legal aspect is just really badly designed for this kind of situation. If I find something opened or unsecured by mistake, I just go somewhere else and don't report anything so this way I don't risk anything. That's sad because it's not helping anyone but I just don't want to handle any legal stuff.
to be clear -- leaning on the wheel and forcing the "pings" to happen by stressing has the effect of putting the spokes where they want to be, but I think mostly people don't know why, so it's basically cargo-cult building. The alternative is realize what's going on (ahh! Torsional stress!), fix it (take your spoke wrench, back off spokes a fraction of a turn) and get them setup, knowing exactly what's going on, and not resorting to cargo-cult methods.
I wrote a self-hosted tool that fills this need for me. Been using it since 2008. Content is written in markdown, though it doesn't have a fancy editor. Supports tagging and searching too. Since you mentioned self-hosted, I thought you might be interested.

Wonder how their system would deal with #SandyLootCrew
It's awful in the sense of how much is gone to taxes and cost of living. Earning 100k+ that effectively becomes half of the real number because of exorbitant cost of living puts you in a crappy spot.

You lose all of the tax breaks and everything else that people get who have your same take home pay at a lower net income (e.g. student loan tax deduction). Also, you have to deal with ignorant people like yourself that look at salary numbers in a vacuum and assume the person talking is over-privileged.

One of my younger friends moved out to the bay at a 90k salary and he cannot afford to live by himself in a one bedroom apartment in the south bay, let alone SF. Consider that, he can't afford a shitty one bedroom apartment in a suburb.
Surely that can't be done in all circumstances without severe memory usage issues or fragmentation problems though. You have to fill those holes eventually, if not during allocation than during compaction.

I think it's a pretty good example. While site designers should take care to make their stuff look good on small screens, the devices with small screens should also allow users to make adjustments for when the designer didn't do this (or they did, but the user has special requirements). Mobile Safari doesn't even have a text size adjustment, for example. This is madness!

For those who are wondering how the styling looks, I signed up and copy-pasted a markdown sample here: https://app.faqt.co/share/k6hs7l

This looks pretty cool. I think I'l be using this from now on. Features I'd like to see in the future:

- custom domain (esp for teams, which I see is in the works)

- Revision History

- Exports/Backups

- Searching

- Raw markdown support. I often like to copy markdown from places, and this would come handy. Just a .md at the end of the route would do.

- API support is always nice

Congrats on the launch! Your main competitor here is Evernote so I would highly recommend you implement a "Import from Evernote" feature, or at least tout it.

I'm happy with Evernote but the main disgruntle I have is the lack of Markdown capability, which you're making very clear, and any other developer-friendly features. There could be a big opportunity here if you can segregate yourself from Evernote by niche-ing yourself towards developers and technical folk. There's definitely a void here.
