I have a small hobby site - maybe a few hundred real users ever, and a handful of regulars. But the logs and users table are full of brute force and lousy sql injection attempts.
Why does this happen? How is it economical?
The HIP interface even has almost exact interoperability with CUDA, so you don't have to rewrite your code.
Not to mention the train station being central and the experience just being all round more fun!
When someone @heres or tags me I only see the red dot on the favicon when I'm already in my browser.
On top of that you get tons of resources back on your machine!
我是中文学生 :)
Funnily the first thing you learn in Chinese is how to say who you are. But there's very little help with actually picking a Chinese name!
It might be a huge bias but I would imagine a significant amount of productivity gained in the economy, and thus new wealth created, over the last couple of decades has been software driven. So it _should_ pay well, right? It doesn't really matter that it's considered easy or hard, just scarce.
I've heard it, perhaps jokingly, stated that more than half of software that gets built fails; it never finds a market or never meets completion. In that case high-salaries are also a good thing as it increases the funding, and thus social proof, required to start a new software project.
So, perhaps we have a way to go yet!
It'd be weird if a travel, culture and food publication couldn't do an article on Casu Marzu or Champagne so I don't see why this is any different.
Or maybe My Dying Bride, Mourning Beloveth etc.
The rest of it is a blast.
Are their any simple, introductory texts on it? A lot of stuff is from Stellar themselves.
I'm sure there are good reasons for using it, the rest of the platform looks simple to understand and well designed.
For fiction; Solar Bones by Mike McCormack. One-sentence novel about a man on the West coast of Ireland shortly before the crash hit. Won the Dublin Literary Prize.
Really? In modern Irish we substitute Tá for yes but it's not really yes. We don't have yes or no, we repeat the verb of the question positively or negatively. Tá is kind of 'am', níl 'am not' like
"Are you going to watch Mrs Browns Boys tonight?" "I am not."
Are they really comparable? Maybe somewhere along the line Tá (pronounced 'taw') was taken for 'yes'.
Not to mention getting it to play Malfeitor by Watain on Spotify...
I actually bought my Google Home in Belfast and brought it to Dublin because they're still to get in the Republic of Ireland. Yet it seems to find the southern accent easier and any location based stuff I've used it for here works fine.
Still feels like magic sometimes.
Congrats on shipping.
We find breaking news on social platforms, verify it for journalistic ethics, license where appropriate and supply to our clients; among whom we count a large chunk of the world's news rooms. We're often the first to source, and verify the authenticity of, news of global and/or critical importance.
Some projects we've worked on recently include a collaboration with international journalists to build a fake news source database and a platform to track and index communications by ISIL on so-called 'closed-networks'.
We're hiring for a Front-end Developer. Deep knowledge of Javascript is a must; experience with Ember or strong experience with another front-end JS framework is a huge plus.
We're still a small engineering team at under 40 people, so you have a chance to make a real difference whilst doing work that is truly fulfilling.
If think you'd like to join you can use the link above or contact me directly at john.hope[at]storyful.com and AMA. A visa to work within the EU is required for engineering roles at Storyful.
My world is shaken.
I'm shopping for computer parts at the minute so built a quick app to scan UK shop deals, threw it up at a subdomain of my personal site (plug: http://slackfriday.jhope.ie) and let it go. Over cyber monday and later it got loads of traffic and watching a stupidly simple app do it's job was thrilling and liberating.
Even doing agile and lean MVPs every day at work nothing quite matches the level of focus you can reach when you know your own capacity and have a time-limit. I kind of disagree with the OP in that even if you use tech that you're familiar with and have a fleeting idea it's still worth doing every once in a while to remind yourself why and how people use things.
It took a lot of goes before one stuck here. I have memories growing up of a ceasefire every other day, broken the next.
Each ceasefire elicits some sort of confidence issue within the movement and towards their adversaries so that when they fail they often do so catastrophically (Canary Wharf etc).
But it only takes one to stick...
But those illustrations look like they came straight from The Goetia!
titleize = ->(sentence) { sentence.split(' ').map!{|x| x = x[0..0].upcase << x[1..-1]}.join(' ') }
titleize.call("my lovely lovely lovely horse")
["a clause", "another clause"].map(&titleize)
To this day it's my favourite format. There's a ritual; going to the vinyl shelf or bag, taking it out the right way, placing the needle - it primes your mental state in a way that pointing and clicking just can't.
The margins were super tight on vinyl though. It cost more to produce, package and ship than CDs - and costs were compounded if you were trading with other labels. I quit when the music industry went into disarray. One day our French distributor cleared out their warehouse and we got a shipment and a note saying sorry - they were selling T-Shirts now.
But it seemed to me that vinyl would endure, maybe even grow as people looked for something more. I'm so glad to see it has!
