The author does specify both that this is not "Internet" (with capital I) and that they are not using bonjour, and that it is a proprietary technology. So it does not appear to be a mistake on the author's part. That is why the suggested solutions, where a third party http/https endpoint is needed, are not appropriate, as there would be no accessibility to those services.

According to the original asker:

"There is no Internet. we are providing chat and other services to people who dont have Internet."

and

"No, we are not using bonjour. Its a proprietary technology. We just provide chat service."

According to the original source[0], the solution has been in place since 2005, and had reduced the homeless population by 74% by 2012. The cost savings was about 5k per homeless person per year.

"In 2005, Utah did a study that found the average annual cost for emergency services and jail time for each chronically homeless person was $16,670. The cost to house them and provide case management services was only $11,000 per person."

Obviously those two numbers don't account for the fact that even a newly homed person might continue to have some emergency services, and jail time. Yet, Utah continues the program and "... the state is on track to meet its goal by 2015", where that goal is to eliminate chronic homelessness.

On the flip side of the other comments, I used the TrueCar service about 4 months ago. For the specific trim that I wanted (standard trim, not crazy options), several dealership websites had prices on them that were several thousand dollars lower than the TrueCar price, and that was before any negotiations happened at all. So I would use the TrueCar service again for doing research, but I am not confident of their ability to deliver a good "no haggle" price.

Since Apple provides the metadata tagging of the words via NSLinguisticTagger, then is this the web equivalent:

//dim non-anchor tags

$('*').not('a').addClass('dim');

//hightlight anchor tags

$('a').addClass('highlight');

If the browser provided the syntax metadata, then I don't see how this example with anchor tags is logically different. This appears to be obvious and trivial, where a patent requires non-obviousness and non-trivialness given the state of the art.

The linked demo at https://github.com/macguru/SyntaxCheck also seems to show the trivialness of this.

I'm not actively seeking new employment and am very happy at my current position. However, I am always (passively) interested in new opportunities, and am not going to ignore something awesome that falls in to my lap. A service like this is actually very valuable for someone like me.

That said, opt-in is the way to go. I definitely don't understand the seemingly contradictory point of view of them saying "we don't like recruiter spam either" and "we find ways for companies to send unsolicited requests".

So, I would fall under the categorization of "aren't looking for a new job", while at the same time don't agree with the opt-out (without an actual opt-out mechanism) nature of this service.

I would imagine a spike in the amount of Amazon Prime memberships increased this week due to console purchases.

This year I signed up for a free 30 day trial of Prime so that I could skip on the cost of shipping for Christmas. I will cancel it before the trial period ends. Last year my wife did the same thing on her account.

So I would be curious how many of those are trial memberships, and what the statistics are after 30-60 days once all of those trials expire.

Checksums do not offer this property if both the remote file and checksum are both sent unsecured. If an attacker can MitM the remote file, then they can also do the same for the checksum file.

Maybe it would be helpful to modify "entitled free of charge on PACER" to a phrasing that includes information about how the charges are unreasonable.

I happen to know that under the law, PACER access is not required to be "free of charge", and thus the rest of the statement falls flat. Even though I agree that PACER pricing is out of touch with the law due it's pricing being well above the costs required to maintain the system.

While I'm not sure of your target audience with your statement, it's clear that on some level federal employees of the court system are included. They may also know "free of charge" is not what the law says, and thus it may also undermine your argument with them as well.

Ken White has a post titled "Ninth Circuit Clarifies First Amendment Rights of Public University Professors" [0] which goes in to some detail about the various legal issues at the nexus of free speech rights and professorship.

The easiest to understand response to this question that I've seen so far is from this comment [0]:

The contest limitations rule out most of the likely attack vectors for breaking the protocol in the real world. It's like saying "Our bank vans are 100% secure. Just try stealing money from them without puncturing our tires or bribing one of our employees."

Laravel is technically at 100%, however the unit tests are throwing a lot of warnings.

Guidelines indeed. For reference, here is an example of a double negative from the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales:

Nowher so bisy a man as he ther nas [0] (Nowhere so busy a man as he there none)

[0] http://www.bartleby.com/40/0102.html line 321

And yet one of the father's of written modern English, Chaucer himself often used double negatives [0].

ex:

"Ther nas no man no wher so vertuous" ("There never was no man nowhere so virtuous")

"He nevere yet no vileynye ne sayde / In all his lyf unto no maner wight" ("He never yet no vileness didn't say / In all his life to no manner of man").

The modern English language (written and spoken) has been in constant flux for the last 600+ years. What was once required is now antiquated, and what was once verboten is now required.

At this moment in time, double negatives are frowned upon. However, that may change in the future, and it's possible that irregardless is the start of a new set of changes in the language.

Real engineering happens in a team, not in a hermit's cave.

So how does a developer determine their own value? For example:

1.) I do web development every day. I'm not a spectacular designer, but I can put a work flow together and I'm comfortable on both the client side javascript (JavaScript proper, jQuery, Backbone, AngularJs) as well as the server side (Ruby, Node.js, PHP 5.5 (Laravel mostly), C#).

2.) I do development in the form of sysadmin/devops type tasks (bash/powershell/vbscript)

3.) I currently do IT related tasks with regards to servers (not desktops) such as building servers from parts, loading them in to racks, setting up firewalls/routers/networking, etc

4.) I'm not perfect with attention to detail. Things fall through the cracks, but I know when to skip details (because they can be easily rectified if missed) and when not to (because the work really is mission critical, or rectifying the mistake would be particularly painful)

5.) I'm self-educated with minimal college. However, I devour books about algorithms, AI, language references, etc

6.) I have terrible work-life balance. I love my wife dearly, but if there is a problem to be solved, I can't let it go. I often dream about problems that are on my mind.

7.) I work well in teams, but I prefer solo work as I can often get in the "zone" easier when not distracted. I am not socially awkward, but I prefer smaller groups. I won't do sales, and while I can do direct customer service, I find it exhausting and my day is often shot afterwards.

8.) I understand how to deal with, and juggle, multiple "number one" priorities.

9.) I generally don't do on call, but if there is a fire, I'm always available to work on it.

10.) I'm constantly on the lookout for techniques to enhance myself, and the team as a whole. I often do presentations on up and coming software stacks, or training on technologies that I think would be worthwhile to implement.

11.) I live in Portland, Or. Relocating to SV or SF is not an option.

Given all of that (and more since it's never binary), how do I go about valuing myself in the market without wasting a ton of time?

It's even less than $22/hr because the 40 hours per week here doesn't include work outside of the classroom such as grading papers and projects, or "Assist students outside of class as necessary.".

Actually, after further review, it looks like the issue is with a revoked intermediate certificate that is sent along in the chain. It still causes issues in FF, but at least it's not directly with the PHP.net certificate.

It looks like the SSL certificate currently being served has been revoked. For me, it's blocked in FF, but allowed in Chrome.

Does anyone know if this is related to them moving php.net to new servers after the earlier malware attack?

To clarify the above, the video starts with the deep brain stimulation device turned on. The changes mentioned are due to the Parkinson's Disease effect showing themselves once the DBS device is turned off.

Unfortunately, she doesn't want to try again. But good luck!

I gave the first level over to my wife (who is a non-programmer, and has no interest in programming, but loves RPGs). Unfortunately, it didn't work out too well. She was able to make it to the ogre, then then misspelled the attack command. At that point, her browser froze, then continued to give her a script error at "http://codecombat.com/javascripts/vendor.js:52612".

Which is too bad, because I'd love to show her that programming isn't as "hard" as she thinks it is.

I'm not very familiar with the JSON datatype in postgres. Is it possible to update subvalues without writing the entire JSON bag?

For example: {"a": 1, "b": 2} (in psuedocode)

User 1: select JSON

User 2 select JSON

User 1: update JSON set "a" = 11

User 2: update JSON set "b" = 22

What would the value of the JSON column be after that. In other systems I've worked in (where it's JSON in a database column), the answer is {"a": 1, "b", 22} or a failure on the second update letting the client know that their copy is out of date.

I'd love to know if postgres can deal with this in the normal relational way so that the result is actually {"a": 11, "b": 22}

Apparently the author would agree with you. The front page reads, "Dropplets is not a CMS, it's just for pure blogging and nothing more which is a good thing."

Does anyone know if an out of state ecommerce site like Amazon is required to give user data in this manner. Focusing on the state tax issue, it would appear that these two systems are similar in that taxpayer is required to declare and remit taxes (but often doesn't).

(obviously the other issues about whether it's even legal to rent out in the first place is another matter)

Absolutely agree with this comment. Here's the impression that I see at a "first glance" that page:

1.) The item to purchase, along with the price of the item. 2.) A bright magenta "Continue Checkout" button. 3.) An ad for an upsell on the right hand side which I'm generally not interested in. (on the right side, light grey text, etc)

Only after carefully scanning the page do I notice the following:

3.) This isn't an ad, it's actually something important for me to read. 4.) There is a tiny magenta link on the right hand side with explanation text that says to click it if I don't want to save 50%. 5.) Way down at the bottom of the page is text.

So I went ahead and did try it out myself. I borrowed a friend's laptop (that doesn't have a developer-level screen resolution). The screen resolution was 1333 x 768 and FF is maximized there. Here is what it looked like http://imgur.com/9rHhhLV

What's missing from that page, is all of the important information about the VIP program. What is present is the price of the item, the quantity and a magenta "Continue Checkout" button.

I'm definitely calling "Dark Pattern" on this one. Hiding important text off the screen, coloring the important text a light grey, even when the text is visible it is far down the right side in a small font.

I believe the comment refers to NYC's Stop and Frisk program[0] which has been ruled unconstitutional by a US district judge, who found that the program unfairly targets African Americans and Latinos.

On the timeline presented there is a framework called ServiceStack[0] which I successfully used to significantly simplify internal APIs, used by multiple internal systems, back in early 2011.

Recently we brought on a new developer whose first question was "Why didn't you use Microsoft's WebApi". I had to gently explain that I couldn't use something that didn't exist. So I definitely feel the author's pain.

I beat the grind by moving from domain to domain every few years. Real estate, finance, power sports (Motorcycle/ATV), etc. I am constantly re-inventing the wheel, but each wheel comes with it's own set of problems. I have found that it's quite enjoyable learning about these other domains just for their own sake. It's also nice to pick up skills like 'what to look for in a house', 'how to tell which dealership to purchase a vehicle from', etc.
