I've got quite a few projects that aren't "finished" because there are additional features I'd like to add some day. However, they are "done" in that they currently work for me. For these applications I ju

I think the disconnect is that these people have an Upper Class salary nationally (the student linked at the top), but choose (and I stress the word choose) to live a middle class lifestyle locally. For instance, with that upper class salar

It looks to me, with liquidation preferences, like the valuation the investors believe is probably closer to "all the money raised"+x% than the published "valuation".

Maybe it's just me, but it looks to me like things have been going the other "way", all your documents synced to a "cloud" and providing various interfaces to it (phone/tablet/pc...) What this looks like i

I've thought about this a lot, even thinking of running in a district with the plan of "all my constituents will vote on my web site, and I will vote what the majority wants for each bill before me." However, there are major

What I also don't get is people that seem to need constant churn on an open source project for it to be deemed "usable" or "production ready." Those people would go insane in common-lisp land, as most libraries have

Interesting they call out other services the USA is okay with that also provide encryption. I believe all the other services the provider can access the data. Except maybe SpiderOak.

Could someone tell me what this whole thing is about? From what i gather it is the following: 1. Users currently can monetize using contentID - any videos uploaded anywhere using their shit and they get a cut of the ads (if there are any).

Yes that is a real criticism against Waze. The thought is that the "show where the cops are" feature can be used by those who wish to assassinate cops (by finding them when they are alone I guess). The obvious conclusion being tha

Maybe I'm weird, but I think whether it works should be #1 concern over design/quality. I agree design/quality is a close #2 though. Also, perhaps you need more practice reading code. So you are not so reliant on a "TEST

I'm curious about the mention of shopping with a bootable usb stick. Has anyone else tried this? Where can you do such a thing? I'd be afraid of salesmen thinking I was "hacking" or something.

I'm talking about what's possible. You're talking about rules. I'm assuming rules are meaningless, because your rules aren't exactly stopping anything anyway. If my aunt builds a home, she can lock that shit down an

We've really got to stop the sob story for use case 2. Just because you produce something that doesn't mean you deserve to get paid. Ask my aunt who make pine-cone christmas decorations. Nobody buys those, but she makes them. With

The nicest thing about Hledger and the original[1] is the extremely simple file format. It allows you to write your own pretty easily (especially if you stick to the very simple format of a bunch of transactions). I wrote one for my use [2]

I'm at the point where I hope they never add them, even though I've liked them in other languages. Once they do, you know not every "generics or bust" will be satisfied and the anti-Go hate will simply shift. I say let t

I understand, I also agree with your suggestion. I guess my point is really that even though a nice ideal, based on my experience, likely not attainable.

> Can we just agree to move on? No, we can't. Sorry but that's just how the world works. Just like every Go language post has "generics or crap" mentioned, every systemd post will have "The Unix Way" mention

There has been some work by the community. A user created an app with a button and a webview using go 1.4beta[0]. I modified it to only be a webview with a Go web server[1]. I also wrote an app for myself in the same manner here[2]. I found

Based on reading POC Issue #4, this looks more like "compression" with a dictionary shared "out-of-band". For an extremely contrived example: Intended Plaintext for Alice: HI Intended Plaintext for Bob: BY Communicate to

What people think is immaterial. With all three companies (Uber,Airbnb,MegaUpload) you have people breaking the law using the service. All three services turned a blind eye to this in the name of "disruption." Kim's downfall

Horrible headline. Based on the contents of the article, the problem is not with open source, it's that Mozilla doesn't have a team of reviewers waiting around to "bless" add-ons like Google Chrome does.

Do TA proponents ever talk about the suggestions that the reason TA works is because of a feedback cycle? That is, if you get enough people with enough influence (cash) all believing they can read tea leaves, and make similar movements base

I'm not sure you can do this. Isn't the point of the franchise that it's owned by someone else? For example, if McDonald's corporate opens a location owned by them, can they called it a "franchise" location?

It looks to me like the major thing here is the grace period right? Otherwise you could get "pointer-changing" happy and mess up readers traversing bucket lists right?

Maybe I'm daft, but the growing and shrinking explained looks like how you'd do it for any hash table, is that not how a normal one works? Do normal hash tables "freeze the world" to change tables or something? Looks to

It's not the minimal interaction that's the draw. It's the lack of waiting for the waiter to come to you.

My theory is similar. We are in a "rise-all-boats" bull run thanks to the injection of cash into the economy from the Fed. The few "Buffet-like" value investment managers are saying there isn't much margin-of-safety
