Is there any way to make it so that the gutter is always present? There's a bit of a noticeable jump to include it when I save a file, it's sort of annoying me.
Agh, this is an editing mistake. I re-worded this last minute and reading again next day, it was a mistake.
Really what I meaning to say is that it's much clearer as to what is happening. I was trying to point out that success and error were actually functions on the deferred returned from $.post, not just functions you can pass into $.post (as they once were - hence "circa 2009").
Valve's organizational structure has always been of great interest to me from an idealistic point of view. There have been a lot of articles written recently that cover nearly all aspects of this interest-based economy for developers, artists and so on. Other companies, such as Github, seem to have adapted similar models.
Regardless of the article though, one detail always seems to slip past me. Who answers the phones?
This sort of cheater purgatory existed even in the later days of CS 1.6 as well. Secure servers were only available from legitimate STEAM accounts but players could create 'insecure' (no VAC) servers that were still publicly listed.
These servers quickly became havens for players connecting using modified software (free clients and so on) and those who had steam accounts which had been "vac'd".
Ironically, included in this list were a lot of servers who hosted third-party anti-cheat software, as it conflicted with VAC - creating unjustified bans.
I think Microsoft took a really interesting strategy for enticing developers to come develop for the platform. Rather than hold a $1M prize competition (a la Android), they went in a similar direction to the offerings that RIM used for the playbook.
Instead of just giving away a device though, Microsoft really gamified the experience by offering several different prizes (including pre-paid credit cards) and tiers based on the number of apps developed. I think this really helped draw the college crowd in.
They also approached individual companies who have successful applications on other platforms and offered to pay them large good amounts of money to develop for the platform.
It seems like throwing all that money around really did work out for them in the end :).
I've always found APL really intriguing. A professor of mine told me about how one of his students used to be able to solve ACM competition problems incredibly fast by simply not having to type very much. There are some insane videos on youtube of people solving problems in APL [1].
But, you know - it's write once, read.. never again.
var n;
var A;
var i;
var x;
var j;
n = 100;
A = [];
for (i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
A[i - 1] = true;
}
var i_end = Math.sqrt(n);
for (i = 2; i <= i_end; i++) {
if (A[i - 1] == true) {
j = Math.pow(i, 2);
while (j <= n) {
A[j - 1] = false;
j = (j || 0) + i;
}
}
}
for (x = 2; x <= n; x++) {
window.alert([x,': ',A[x - 1]].join(''));
}
I'm happy to hear that CloudFare was able to help out in this situation.
I am especially happy because I came to know CloudFare not through HN, but through constantly seeing their failed cache page.
Edit: That sounds really brash, but I sincerely do mean that they have lots of clients that I frequent and if their reliability improves, it will prove to be very valuable.
