I've seen the opposite happen - the MacBook screen turning off - when placing an open macbook on top of a closed one. I'm guessing that case is to do with magnets activating the closed-sensor.

I've replicated this with a Nexus 6 by placing it over the speakers of an MBP (it locks the screen, rather than turning it off) which also suggests magnetic? I'm thinking Motorola planned a Nexus 6 case similar to the Galaxy Note flip cover.

So, git hooked up to inotify?

Here's an example: http://up.metropol247.co.uk/davidlees/daybreak_sky_sports.pn...

They announced at the London summit that Java support in Lambda would be launching soon; it sounds like they're aiming to support lots of languages.

Aching in the balls of my feet is the most common pain I get. I've tried using a soft mat which had no effect compared to a hard floor. It seems to be down to footwear - running trainers can be fine for several hours but with converse flats I'll barely last 2.

I was seeing it as gee-wit. jwit also comes to mind.

Not that I have any stake in it, but the most confusing thing to me is that it doesn't mention the words "Google Web Toolkit" until the Tutorial page. It's an abbreviation; one that describes the product quite well (a toolkit for web apps, built by Google). Silly to bury it.

It might be nice to do it client-side.

    var caps = null;
    passwordField.onkeypress = function(e) {
        if (caps !== false) {
            var s = String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode || e.which);
            caps = s.toUpperCase() == s && !e.shiftKey;
        }
    };
    loginForm.onsubmit = function(e) {
        if (caps) {
            passwordField.value = invertCase(passwordField.value);
        }
    };

Got a source on the face-recognition-after-departure? That's a really interesting idea and I'd like to read more.

Scaffolding in terms of code templates, rather than data model scaffolding.

My complaint about the Chrome extension would be that it hijacks the New Tab Page. I'd quite like to use it as a Chrome app though.

I've found one use-case for mixed-keys: parsing complex headers. For example:

    Link: <http://cdn.example.com/stylesheet.css>; rel=stylesheet; type=text/css

    [
      [0] => <http://cdn.example.com/stylesheet.css>
      [rel] => stylesheet
      [type] => text/css
    ]

It doesn't come up very often.

In UK elections they do announce the number of spoiled ballots, which might give indication of the number of "neither" votes.

Same, often a few with one crashed.

It's possible they've made a last ditch deal to sell the media to someone (perhaps even Twitter). That would make it important to keep the data private.

The sub-surface lines (Circle, District, Hammersmith&City) are getting new stock (same sort of features - walk-through carriages, little bit taller). In the past few years automation was introduced on Victoria, Northern, Jubilee and I think Piccadilly lines that basically reduces the driver's role to opening and closing doors and emergency stops. This allows trains to run at higher speeds with less delay between seeing a signal and starting the engine.

Coming from South London, it seems like every train is on the Bank branch (I have to change at Kennington 9 times out of 10).

One of the side effects is that it allows people to queue in the right spot (rather than guessing and lining the platform) which helps even out the number of people trying to get in one set of doors. Adding a bit of predictability helps streamline things.

CrowdReactive (http://crowdreactive.com) - Junior Developer, London, UK

We build http://eventstagr.am/, a social media wall platform. As well as our self-service customers, we build tailored designs and animations for big names, including O2, Ferrari and Heineken. Our London team are soon moving into brand new offices on South Bank, including free coffee and beer on tap.

We're looking for a full-time junior developer, to handle some smaller tasks across our web app as well as larger frontend projects. Technical requirements are loosely:

- You know enough PHP to write basic OOP, - You've used frontend tools like bootstrap, grunt/gulp and less.

Attach a desk and it becomes a productivity mobility platform.

I have an instance listed as scheduled for reboot in 2 days but haven't received an email. Without this post I'd have been caught out on Saturday wondering why I'm getting a ton of message queue connection errors.

Downtime I can live with, but unreported planned downtime? Not impressed.

Flags or moderator intervention. I wouldn't call it targeted for this site.

I'm sure I've read something in the ICANN rules that says domains containing a trademark can be petitioned against (although that may only be for exact wording). If they can do it, Google aren't exercising the right to it as there are other domains that have been around longer.

I seem to remember stumbling upon Startup News, and then the next day it had changed it's name. Bit of a shock to find out that was 7 years ago.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a 10-11 inch netbook for ultra portable hacking? It's rather hard to find places that still sell them nowadays (lots of tablet-a-likes with a keyboard attached). Basically going to be a vim-box.

Currently, we're looking for a:

- Head of Marketing,

- Senior PHP developer,

- and a Junior developer.

Briefly, what we're looking for in the marketing role is experience. There's a lot of scope here for moulding our brand.

http://blog.eventstagr.am/2014/08/hiringheadofmarketing/

If you've good experience with Symfony, or another Composer-based framework (ZF2, Laravel, etc.) we'd love to meet with you.

http://blog.eventstagr.am/2014/06/were-hiring-a-php-develope...

The junior dev role is a great entry point - initially this will be frontend based and integrating into our PHP application.

I like the advertising strategy - one unobtrusive ad for everyone, for a whole week. The free charity ads are a nice touch too.

It's either going to stick in your head out of persistence (perhaps subconsciously) or get mentally blocked (though I'd bet on the former).

Annoyingly, a few authors decided to jump the gun and publish books around PHP 6. I think this was the main deciding point. On the one hand, it might be confusing for a newcomer who thinks that they're getting a book on the latest and greatest; on the other, perhaps they should check publication dates.

Either way, it wasn't a particularly important decision - any number signifying a major version bump, greater than 5, would have been fine.

It's not an interpreter - it parses PHP code into an abstract-syntax-tree (list of entities like open-if, variable, assignment, etc).

Perhaps this could be better used as a heuristic for delivery companies to select a delivery time?

In context, he never says it's fanless. He mentions the properties that fanless designs bring - thin, don't hear a fan, don't see a fan, cool to the touch - and then explains how the Surface Pro 3 incorporates those properties, with a fan. For all the consumer would know, it was fanless as it shares those properties with literally-fanless devices.
