A chess buddy of mine did exactly the same: he was in a mental institution for a while and completely bored, and also a scrabble maniac. There was nobody to play with except for an old lady who only spoke French. He memorized the French dictionary (in < 2 days, I can add); only the words, as the semantics had no value. He was less bored after that.

Just a quick interjection:

Something that one smart developer can do in 100 lines on any interpretter is never worth billions of dollars.

Someone who can do it, on the other hand, is certainly worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, annually.

Meanwhile, so many people continue to marvel at what can be done with an interpretter and a turing-complete language. Yet, the last thing we need is yet another turing complete language.

Unfortunately, the problem with turing machines, virtual or otherwise, is that they're so good at faihfully reduplicating themselves...
The things most bitcoin proponents dream about are... crazy.

Is the JSON JSON API [1] compliant, perchance?

[1]: http://jsonapi.org/
Example is broken. It's returning a JSON doc, so if you leave it then return, some browsers will just return the cached JSON (as text).

Should add some header to say that it's JSON, or add a .json file extension for the main page data.

Very interesting project though.

Hi,

Can you let me know the timelines for the following,

1. When are we likely to have our interview?
2. When are we expected to kickstart our work?

> Debian and Fedora do packaging better than Docker, relatively speaking, but they still have major issues that have lead to "solutions" like Docker, Chef/Omnibus, etc.

I get what you're saying, but the way you've phrased it makes it seem like it wasn't intentional when in fact before immutable git-style packages were discovered, you were forced to choose between packaging that works well for developers/ops and packaging that works well for end users.

Debian is the best example we have of the latter, but it's a mistake to say they did a bad job at making ops-friendly packaging. They are solving a different, mutually-exclusive (until recently) problem.

With a bunch more elbow grease and polish, the nix/guix approach allows us to have the best of both worlds, but this is a very new development; arguably it isn't even "there" yet.
The experience you get out of something largely depends on how you approach it.

I live in a wealthy, quiet neighborhood - where most of my neighbors are Vietnamese and a majority of them are wealthier than me. Because of this and good networking I've met many successful business people, startup entrepreneurs and consulate generals. I'm also committed to here. I speak the language, have an office and team here. That level of commitment opens more doors than if I was just passing through. When I'm ready to move on to my next project, it will be hard to say no to many of the opportunities here.

There are a lot of expats who are unhappy here, though you'll find that in any expat community. A lot of them like to complain. I avoid those types if possible - more fun to be around future oriented people than past. (And that's one of the best things about Vietnam - it's so young. I'm sure you've read the statistics before, 70% under 30 years old. And most of them are excited for the future.) As for the sexpats maybe I don't see them - maybe I'm happily married with kids and don't hang out in the backpacker areas or bars.

Completely agree with you about the pollution. It's the hardest thing for me, which is why I live on the edge of town across from a jungle and a river and not in District 1. (View from my office https://goo.gl/photos/wuMnNcKFFnAMUNsn9)

Had my approach to Vietnam been different my opinions would be completely different. No way is the right way, just different.
> similar to declaring General Relativity flawed because it fails to include quantum theory.

Or similarly declaring classical mechanics flawed for not being accurate around light speed (just trying to give another, possibly more relatable analogy - although your GR/quantum theory is more appropriate because it also deals with macro/micro scale).

There's a reason we still teach Newton's laws in high school, aside from being easier to grasp: it's accurate enough for basically any practical situation.

If you're is not dealing with light speed (so.. particle accelerators and not much else), synchronised time measurements over long distances[0] or space stuff, you are not going to need it.

And even in the space case: when they taught us special relativity in our first year of physics, our professor was quick to point out that classical mechanics was accurate enough to calculate the trajectories of the Apollo missions.

Physics, or at least applied physics, is all about finding the sweet spot between good enough approximation vs ease of calculation, and knowing where you're "wrong" in case you need more accuracy.

> measuring devices that can spit out irrational numbers. ... No other scientist has ever seen such a thing.

There are devices that indirectly measure something, and relate it to the desired measurement involving pi.

Stupid example: Take a measuring wheel that counts encoder clicks. Say the encoder has 300 clicks/revolution. The device is quite likely calibrated to output clicks(2pi*radius/300).

Are you strictly talking about incorporating GPL code into proprietary products that you sell? That is a different thing, but thankfully there is a cross industry standard that you must pay the author in order to incorporate other peoples work into products of your own. If you add music, you got to pay the musician. If you have a photo in a commercial, you pay the photographer. BigCorp knows how to pay people for their work and why should it be any different in the software industry if BigCorp want to prevent others from using BigCorp products for free?

Just some shitty comments:

I clicked two knife categories and both said "This has no western equivalent!" True or false I am getting some twinges of "wowee, so foreign, must be amazing, ancient secrets that somehow never crossed the ocean are here at last."

Similarly I am unconvinced that we need specific knife forging masters whose fathers were knife forging masters to forge these knives. Do they have magical techniques that nobody else knows? Do you have to do it for 100 years to be able to make a good knife, or is the bar in fact lower?

Your "why carbon steel?" page seems to indicate that carbon steel knives are better than stainless steel in all ways. Is that really true? Another poster here seemed to summarize that the carbon steel ones need more frequent sharpening (i.e. stay sharp less long, contrary to what you said).

While I don't doubt your story, here in Brisbane living in Fortitude Valley is safe, close to everything, and quite fun all things considered. Multiple new residential apartment buildings have gone up or are going up (driving my rent down, which is brilliant for me), and there are numerous families that live here too, interestingly.

Everything I just said actually agrees with your main point however, as the best schools are just up the road from here, and it's much safer than I've heard a lot of big cities in the US are. It's interesting to see so many people move into this area now, as I've been here for years and love it; it's great for me, more development of better facilities have seen this grow by leaps and bounds.

Oh, those sloppy mathematicians... ;)

(for the non-physicists/mathematicians: a running gag between mathematicians and physicists is that the former accuse the latter of being sloppy, because the latter take a lot of mathematical liberties. Allegedly, in my old university there was a joint class between physics and mathematics (I never got that far to see for myself), and the professor would start the first lesson with "I brought barf bags for the mathematicians. You're going to need them." I even have a friend who switched from physics to maths because he claimed to be disgusted by the way physicists "proved" their "theorems". Luckily he mellowed out a bit after marrying an applied physicists - they even published a paper together.)

The server sends `Content-Type: application/json` and provides no header related to caching. Browsers that do anything but fetching the resource again are not spec compliant.

Also, the only browser to ever look at the extension of a file in the URL was IE (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms775147(v=vs.85).a...) and they have long since stopped doing that as all it was doing was cause security issues and screw with web developers.

Contrary to many other "expose a RDBMS schema as an API" solutions, this one is interesting due to its very close tie-in with postgres. It even uses postgres users for authorization and it relies on the postgres stats collector for caching headers.

I wouldn't know the answer to that for sure - but would not
hesitate to use with an invisible fence. This is not an electric
type mechanism but rather one of kinetic energy - thus based
on the dogs movement...as they move they create body energy
and the tag works to keep critters away...not related to any
electrical devices etc. I believe on the Shoo Tag site you can
reach out to them and there are FAQ's, I'm sure they can

Where, again, was the possibility to opt out of being human? I really should’ve had been paying more attention.
"Personally, I doubt that the world is ready for this," said Stephen Gardiner, a University of Washington philosophy professor who studies the ethics of environmental policies. "Geoengineering raises huge ethical and political questions, nationally and internationally.”

Am I the only one sick of self-appointed ethicists opposing everything. I have yet to read a quote where one said something is good and should be done - I can see them saying “Clean drinking water: Personally, I doubt that the world is ready for this”.

Edit. These guys are trying to develop an insurance policy for us if it turns out climate change is worse than expected.

The scientists say there will be deep satisfaction if their project succeeds, but far better would be a future without global warming.

"We would be perfectly happy," Cooper said, "if our method works beautifully -- and it never needs to be used.”

Rather than support this the ethicists have to oppose even having an alternative option. Much better to just do nothing and let the planet burn down - at least the world will be ready for that.
Its good that you have defined a purpose for why you release code. When I see people share a photo on a flikr, a video on youtube, or a song on a band/indy website they also have a purpose for that. Often it is not to allow companies to use it in their proprietary products or incorporate it into commercials, but sometimes they do allow it. Its their choice to decide how viral and restrictives they are when sharing to the public, even if they can't dictate how entitled the recipient will feel towards the conditions.

The goal of the license is thus to define what the author will accept and what they don't. The more authors that actually make an aware choice, the better the result is.
In my experience (in the UK) you start by submitting your CV to loads of recruiters saying you are looking for contract roles. If they think they can make money from you they'll give you a call and ask for your rate etc.

I'm not the OP, but I just do plain front-end development. Contract length can vary, sometimes it's one week in a digital agency, sometimes it's a few months in a large company. You can also find contracts that are 12months, and they can be extended after that.

I was freelancing when I started out, so I had some income but was also available for full-time contract work during the day.

An example where you cannot avoid lying to a bank: if you move to the UK, banks require a proof of residence in the form of an electricity bill or similar with your name and new address on it. But the electricity company requires a UK bank account in order to send you the first bill. How do you break the loop? The easiest way is to fake an electricity bill.

Firstly, this script ignores the aspect ratio of the incoming image so it'll ruin all your images that aren't perfectly square. That immediately makes it useless.

Secondly, there is a very, very good image manipulation library for PHP - http://image.intervention.io/ - that you should use. (And I say that as the author of PHPImage - https://github.com/onion2k/php-image ).

Thirdly, don't put images in a database. To display it you'd have to stream the image data through your database connection in a PHP script, which is far slower than loading it from the filesystem. Store a filename in the database, echo it in your HTML, and let the webserver serve the image as a static file.
