I work for a group of venues that recently opened a film screening room that can handle almost all digital formats, 16mm, and 35mm prints. And we in fact ship our prints almost exclusively by FedEx. I had to take a canister to the local sho

Ah, didn't notice the daemon mode only notice. But I suppose I also just wonder if it does the job well? I suppose you only notice once something goes wrong. It just strikes me as a strange thing to be in a server core, but the more I read

Just wait to you get to the part where he suggests that instead of rewriting URIs you should just use the servers cache function to cache to a static page with a very low expiry.

It's not just the site. Even the PDF manual is in this style. "And this test is merely a single-thread test. Add concurrency and SQLite as well as Tokyo Cabinet die in pain because a single write blocks other read/write threads. Not in G-WA

As I'm trying to wade through the manual currently... how does the apparently built in (and perhaps un-configurable?) JS/CSS and auto-spriting/data-uriing work?

I recall finding good (which I understand is a loaded qualifier) English docs was very difficult when I was first pointed in its direction.

From my preliminary read of that page and the linked loan.java, it looks like the java is actually being processed into C code and then complied by the server. Can anyone confirm if this is how the system is architected to "support" java?

Here's a very interesting thread in the forums of the project maintainer refusing (or perhaps denying his ability) to provide an OS X binary: http://forum.gwan.com/index.php?p=/discussion/420/g-wan-on-m... . Perhaps this is a third poin

I feel the same I felt when I first tried nginx so many years ago. And this time, there's English language documentation.

I think Passbook is actually the star of this upgrade. My phone noticing I walked into a Starbucks and giving me a quick shortcut to bring up that barcode? Brilliant!

You're on the right track, but do be careful of burnout. Get a job out of (or just slightly related) to industry. Work in a local computer repair shop, or even an ice cream shop. In my experience it was hard to find programming gigs that wo

From my understanding, this feature wasn't tied in to any sort of advertising or nefarious information gathering, it was just a poor/insecure implementation of a vaguely convenient idea.

Pollan's rule is (at least as Bittman quotes it) five recognizable or pronounceable ingredients.

Oh I completely agree. Vegetables are great food . Whole grains are great sources of yummy carbs. And meats in moderation are likely Just Fine. Broccoli is food , highly processed soy injected with omega-3s and corn is a food-product, not

I'd say that a lot of the vegetarian food community is leaning towards that! Morningstar Veggie Patties (my favorite "faux-meat") doesn't taste like meat, nor does it really try to. It tastes like a tasty patty of mushrooms and veggies (and

Not to parrot Michael Pollan too much, but I think I'll stick to eating food . His latest book provides plenty of skepticism on whether eating animal protein actually leads to cancer, obesity, type II, &c... or if it is perhaps due to

This is what Facebook's utility for all of us is. Just replace cute photos of their kids with cute photos of your crush (or ex), and replace marriage events with house parties, and you've hit what the twenty-somethings on fb do daily. Anyth

I'm more of a minority in terms of my SAT score than my identity as homosexual. That's oddly striking.

TECS ( http://www1.idc.ac.il/tecs/ ) is a great book that leads you through that entire process, too!

I think very few kickstarter projects (which are primarily works of art) have any utility for this. It seems like quite the feature creep for what really just looks like a project using the model poorly (though effectively).

I think in this case, that behavior is actually just the solution the parent was looking for.

Of these issues, I only see #1 and #4 as real. Some of them perhaps you could elaborate on? What do you mean by #3? I send short messages all the time. I just write a short message and hit send. Why would you even want #6? Email is designed

Mission statements tend to lock you in a lot more than you'd desire (if you stay true to them). Organizations change. Missions can change. Core values tend to stay the same. You can write the values of an organization on the whiteboard at a

Strange, the criticisms I usually hear of Starbucks coffee is that their roasts are too dark, giving incredibly (sometimes almost seemingly unnatural) bold flavors without a lot of depth. I don't know a single person who'd characterize even

Similarly, does it make sense to be showing off music that's currently the number one song on the Spotify chart? None of the songs so far were ones that I'd have needed help discovering.

I'll be the guy who actually likes it. The new splash screens make me really pleased. Nothing is very bland, and they certainly represent clean and elegant designs you can make with the products.

The best hack I know is to shake a head of garlic between two bowls for about 30 seconds to peel every single clove!
