Good thing to keep in mind is that Math.floor(-1.1) is -2, whereas -1.1|0 is -1. There is also an issue with x|0 in that you can't use it with values greater than 2^32 (or Math.pow(2, 32)) as those always return a 0 (you get this same issu

I disagree. Not that I think Zuck = Jobs, but I disagree with the "absolutely not" portion. I mean, Jobs post-NeXT is not the same person as pre-NeXT Jobs. From what I've read, Zuckerberg at this IPO is a very different person from the Z

Am I the only one that feels buying ads on facebook isn't meant to bring in direct dollars, but rather to get people to like your brand. The benefit comes later, because you now have a group of people that liked you, and you can run countl

I'm an armchair theorist on this topic, but I suspect you get more benefit with an event booth, especially if the people that attend the event have already been self-selected into your target demographic. There's just so much more room for

I don't entirely disagree with your position, but considering the publicity and press coverage they've received (both before and after the kickstarter funding), it's harder from their position to feel like they can safely slip under the rad

Perhaps it's the type of design projects that are undertaken and the work style of the designer. In the situations where a designer provided .psds for me to transform into html/css, no I haven't had to modify anything. But then, the iterat

If you've ever had to go back to your CSS and redo the colors (client wanted red instead of blue) then you'll find yourself thinking "I wish I could just store these redundant values in one place". At that point you'll start looking at css

I've always wanted to make something with http://lamsonproject.org/ , another python based SMTP server. This appears to be more bare bones.

That's assuming that just because they're working on wearable computer hardware that they aren't also working on a console. Actually, reading between the lines, I see this linux support news as more proof that they're working on a console.

Not entirely, but if your reason to using a non-LTS is to get the latest versions of your stack, then you've just made a really bad choice. As I've said, you're either giving up security updates or are left to test and upgrade your entire

I like it. Well, I can't use it currently (my drive "isn't ready yet") but I've wanted a more feature-ful Dropbox[1]. With Google killing off tons of projects I love (latest being Picasa for linux, sad face) it's nice to see they're addin

I would disagree with this. LTS (I'm referring to Ubuntu LTS as well as RHEL) is still a good fit because there are 9001 other packages your system relies on for day-to-day operations, and I'd rather mess with those as least often as possib

I think it can still be done. Corel's options for vector and photo editors still get business, and quark express competed with indesign for a long time (assuming the reason it died was because they failed to keep innovating, not because in

Having used a variety of cloud servers (Slicehost before the RS acquisition as well as after) I would agree that the cloud offering from RS has a long way to go, both in terms of features and performance. You get way better performance fro

You would have a point if the post author didn't also claim to be having the same success with Russian (also rated notoriously hard to master for english speakers). The tone of the article also implies that the same technique can be applie

I agree with the parents that doubt the veracity of these claims. There is so much more to a language than just vocabulary and grammar that I can't imagine anybody picking up on their own in 4-5 months. For example, in Japanese, there are

That's because if you guys just show up at the establishment, they have no idea who your "parents" are or where to contact them. If, however, your group arrived there through some arrangement (between grouper and the establishment in this

As someone who has used (and contributed code) to envoy, I must give warning that envoy is still very much a work in progress. Don't go in there expecting the same quality of the Requests module.

Not to knock on your service/business-plan, but I can't imagine how focusing on a particular stack gives you any advantage. To me, the bare PaaS offering includes not only the bits that run the app (nodejs workers in your case) but a datas

Nobody said that they're the same today. The parent claimed that Valve and Google's work environment were the same (at Google's early onset) and wondered why "Google's ended up blowing up". My answer to that question is that Valve was abl

by shuzchen 15y ago
I'd garner to say the difference between Valve and Google would be their size. Valve (according to wiki) has ~260 employees. I'm sure Google has more janitors than that. As I'm assuming very few people leave a position at Valve, that must

I have a feeling you've gotten so used to deploying PHP that you've forgotten all the headaches involved in it. I idle in about 3 irc channels that provide PHP support, and pretty much every day someone comes in with some deployment relate

I agree. Why not run the webapp as the user account the code belongs to. With virtualenv and pip, normal users can install modules into their own site-package in their home folder, and any runserver started as them will only have permissi

I find it odd how many people keep saying it's that simple to push PHP code to a box and get it working. Sure, if you've got crazy simple requirements it's generally a cinch. Once you do anything remotely non-trivial (want to read from a

Esc is what does it for me, but the whole deal is so buggy that I'm not surprised it doesn't work on your end.

Honestly, I don't think the ACL really provides much in terms of security. I mean, your db username and passwords are stored (in plain text) in your settings.py, config.php, database.yaml, etc. I've seen a few times where master passwords h

Is it just taken as fact that Amazon is losing money on each Fire sold? Last I remember, there was a device tear-down that priced the components at slightly over the retail price, but I wouldn't have said that was definitive proof that Amaz
