Makes me want to bust out my Northgate keyboard w fn keys on the left and top, two full keypads, Reboot button and detachable coil cable. Weighs almost as much as an IBM kbd.

It's a balance between making a cool app and making a living. The zines are another part of building the cool and business too.

Epicdollar startup of the future is:

wallpaper color displays, Philip K. Dick-style.

Top planetary database says this is the closest approximation: http://www.eink.com/display_products_triton.html

No more steaming wallboards and peeling (wo peeling the wallboard backing) when wifey says she likes this other pattern she just found.

Did she lie about that too or was she using GnuTLS?

LOL. :)

The meta: know what you really want. Sex, companionship or kids: select up to two adjacent goals. Pick all 3 if you have a second condo and a burner phone.

Unfortunately, the one you got lied about her picture. :)

Much less likely if that's the advertised goal. It's better to go about group activities people enjoy, and not let dating become their all-consuming goal.

It's a miracle Felix Denis got rich off those considering it's a double-ended marketplace (ads, mag buyers) and that UK lads mags competition is brutality incarnate.

The proper name is "Man Jose."

Paradox of Choice on both sides could make it seem there are no options when there are millions of them (or at least thousands of viable ones).

It's the "elsewhere is valuable" "logic."

Protip for men: Davis, CA not during summer has the highest concentration of unmarried, college educated, single women of any college town in the US, outside the Boston metro. Thursday night is salsa night at The Grad. Get your silly colored sunglasses and go.

The other trick is to have women fly out to meet you, oh wait, that one has an API now. :) Seriously, distance is another "barrier" so it is good for the stationary party (not that kind, the human kind).

GoldDigginProTip: The moneyed men are all in Los Altos, except their newer model wives are young and hot.

"It's like Great Expectations but with airplanes."

Any service that takes money from people by preying upon their dreams is inherently evil. This doesn't solve dating because it's unsolvable on purpose. Unplanned spontaneous clicking probably won't happen when it's the advertised goal. Joining interest groups on meetup would be infinitely better.

To be clear, which Capital C Church? There was more than one religious flock within Christianity.

These are the same areas that unfortunately still have honor killings. Regardless, cultural judgements are not an absolute truth, and so other ways, no matter how extreme or foreign, can be tolerated. The frontier that can be helped is hygiene and self-sufficiency. If can start a sexual equality revolution in India, build a bazillion of these machines. A 3d printer as it were.

I've run it a zillion times. That's not the point, and that doesn't solve the problem. The point is per goroutine configurable stack sizes.

Even fewer know what TLBs do.

How is any of that relevant? The discussion is about carrier grade messaging maximizing connection density per server, not connecting a watch to a pair of sunglasses.

How much minimum overhead (kernel and userland) per socket is there with a single process watching as many sockets as reliable via select/epoll/kqueue? Say a setup in C for simplicity's sake. Would be an interesting experiment.

Interesting. Definitely important when I get around to finishing a mosquitto (mqtt) client/server framework. For anyone that isn't familiar, mqtt is used on a massive scale for telemetry data and log shipping. This makes it great for IM (Facebook msgr uses it IIRC).

Go needs optional arguments for goroutines and have global defaults because recompiling is ludicrous.

Erlang is an ok language with a great runtime. Elixir is much higher level language and hence more productive for teams that already know Erlang but want to write less code and build faster. Also with Erlang, static type checking not used much in Erlang and big loss unless you use dialyzer. Advantage go for compiling and running test cases laser-blindingly fast. There is a native QuickCheck framework for Erlang, and I'm sure someone wrote a go one.

Yeap, opposite of makefiles. I opt for TOML. YAML is great for fixtures.

Do like Capgem approach (pulling a bandaid)....

Bad news upfront.

Not letting decisions getting kicked up is a never ending struggle. Everyone can learn to make better decisions and do more without assistance, but that's not going to happen if it's "more expedient" to throw someone a fish than teach fishing. I think a large swath of managers feel decision codependency is job security, but it's really a hallmark of missing larger opportunities.

Microsoft has had to deal with more security issues for obvious reasons. Apple has not had a serious security protocol on the basis of assuming the platform is flaw free. Even if that were the case, it's how seriously and professionally each is handled is what builds or breaks PR/credibility. IOW, you're only as good as your last performance.

British million = American billion = 10^9

MM is used to denote an American million = 10^6

Apple lacks an emergency fix process. Also the fix will be released in 10.9.2, but it's held up in testing amgonst all the new added functionality.

Yeap. Industry has to ship something useful.

I was a paid undergrad security researcher that made double that any of other on-campus student job, where labor was cheap and abundant.

The Raspberry Pi has a beta version of WL http://blog.wolfram.com/2013/11/21/putting-the-wolfram-langu...
