Bring on the #heirloomtechno from Information Society No autotune modified organisms here.
Bring on the #heirloomtechno from Information Society No autotune modified organisms here. I've been having a great time exploring the back catalog on Google Play including a superb live album that recently came out [1].
Then again I think I'm required to enjoy any group that puts out tracks like an actual data transmission in 300bps N, 8, I (Terminal Mode or ASCII Download) and the ode to TLAs in Where Would I be Without IBM [2]

Peace and Love, Inc. was the first track that I ever recorded to a mix tape. It was also the only track on that tape, so I listened to it about a billion times. It's kind of crazy how much this song permanently affected my musical tastes... Good tunes!
Play count's going high on this track for me too Evan Mezeske
Funny thing is that I missed out on them the first time around. I think I was busy going to metal and punk shows those days. My workstation hostname was danzig.micro.umn.edu after all...

Bin packing is NP Hard....
1st time with Shopping express-extended. Oh the boxes!
Bottom box is 2ft ^3 -- toilet paper/paper towels.
Middle boxes contained misc things from other stores.
Top-one is 14" ^3 -- It contained a 4-pack of cucumber soda and enough bubble wrap to float a boat.
I'm saving the boxes and should be able to reuse the smaller ones. I did send feedback to team about this situation.

It's new Tunesday! This week features no marquee hip-hop releases but has more indie-folk than you can shake a banjo at:
- Avett Bros, Head and the Heart, and Cass McCombs all twang it out a bit
- Solid week for metal: New Red Fang, Pelican and Trivium
- We also have some new jams from established players: Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam and Dismemberment Plan (which on first listen is pretty blah)
Enjoy!

One of my favorite songs from that era.
What?!
They were a year or two ahead of me in high school. I think I remember James Cassidy making platform shoes ala-Kiss in summer shop class, but I'm not 100% sure it was him. Kurt was unforgettable.
Dale Wyttenbach -- wow, what a small world.

Look for it starting today in the US at Best Buy , Amazon.com and Google Play and in the UK at Currys, PC World and more. It will also be coming to other countries in time for the holidays.

Hi, we are having problems on our Google page 1+ dropped from almost 12.000 to 720 and it's stuck. Our followers are complaining on me because of that lol. Can you help me? I can't see if it is a temporary common issue. Thanks in advance. Cheers!
ps: nothing was changed and happened from night to day
Right now their +Page is canonicalizing to http://doutor-who.blogspot.com/, instead of http://timeywimeywickedstuff.blogspot.com/ (which is their verified URL). So it seems that they're in the bad intermediate state between their canonical changing and the social score catching back up. It should go back up in a day or two, probably to something between 1,500-2,000.
I can't say exactly how their score could have ever been 12,000. It's possible that at one time they were linked to some authority URL that was also linked to by another more popular +Page. (Yes, verified URL +Page mappings are many:many, and I hate this "feature.") At any rate, 12,000 would be well above the "normal" score for a page with only 700 followers (although I suppose it's feasible).
Recommended.

Very true...
Cockpit of a boat is my guess.
280 North from a trailer's windows (wipers)? That looks like a bridge/overpass. Below is a (red) traffic light I think. Given there aren't any other cars, it probably isn't the Bay Bridge. Also there is a section on 280N where it conjoins/merges. The large pillar indicates the lower deck, which is north bound. I'm still confused about the direction of the windows, unless they are side windows with wipers. If I was at a computer, I guess I could download the image and look at the geo meta data too... Edit: given the distance from the overpass/bridge, maybe this is from a parking garage or nearby hill?
3/4G antennas to keep up with all the Netflix and Youtube streaming going on inside the trailer, or boat.
Not 280, there are no tall buildings along 280, are there?
Dexter Lau - serious detective work there, but the mystery is in the foreground, not the background :)
For the curious the background is the 880 overpass at Adeline.
Interesting Christmas lights?
A try to use some Chromecasts on Windows?
Those are multiple cellular data dongles, mounted on the bus windshield, and all feeding into a combined, high-bandwidth wifi hotspot on the bus.
The photo size seems to be slightly cropped and zoom used. The orientation relative to the road suggests this is facing forwards and the lack of a driver in the photo indicates a large windscreen, maybe a coach/bus where he/she is sitting lower relative to the passengers?
As to the rectangular boxes... looks like they were stuck on with adhesive, as the right hand side ones looks like they're becoming badly unstuck! They also look electrical as they're all connected up with what appears to be wiring. Maybe those electronic LED signs showing locations, perhaps destinations?
Vitor Rodrigues and Christiaan Adams got it right! You see 14 3G/4G usb data dongles connected to a wifi access point inside a bus. Now you can truly underestimate the bandwidth of a bus full of tapes (and usb sticks).
And thanks to CircleCount for the lolz.. Chromecast on windows indeed :)
I'm Sure that's not your bus .... but there are more elegant installation methods to achieve that goal :)
Parameterized tests in Junit 3 -- another Java #protip
Adding some experimental code that modifies a junit3 test? Yearning for Junit4 @RunWith(Parameterized.class) annotation?
For simple things like an experiment flag you can do this:
Add the flag to the base test class.
boolean experiment = false;
Create a subclass of your test and change the value in your setUp method:
class FooWithExperimentTest extends FooTest {
@Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
this.experiment = true;
super.setUp();
}
}
Your subclass will run with the varying value.

TAP submit speedup #protip
- You mail a CL
- The presubmit automatically starts a TAP run.
- You get an email with the results.
- You did *not* change the CL after you mailed it.
If all of the above is true, use the TAP base with *--rerun* when submitting to save time. The base is in the email TAP sends you and it looks like this:

Here's an interesting site documenting a startup's move from San Francisco to Oakland.
That's a really great site, thanks for sharing. I know that folks are concerned -- and rightly so -- about rents going if tech companies move over here, but I'd say the positives far outweigh the negatives. Welcome to the sunny side, Clef!
Yep, very true... but I'm still of the mindset that Oakland needs all the income it can get, and if the price of that is an increase in rents, well...
Then again, I'm not renting, so it's easy for me to say that. :P
Didn't mean to turn the discussion about the Oakland.is site into a forum on housing prices. That site has a lot of other interesting bits, such as when the writers realize that moving here means less focus on VC funding & more emphasis on product quality & usability. Well worth a read.
This is going to be a huge, positive change.

Scott McMullan -- haven't tried the Aero press yet so I can't say how it compares..
I'll try to remember to bring my aero by for you to test! It's been going unused of late as I've been eliminating caffeine as a test...
gold filters? Why gold? That seems like snake oil to me. (fine sure - but gold?!)

Protip: Use Optional#asSet() to populate collections from optional values.
Was annoyed with lots and lots of code that looks like this:
Optional<Foo> foo = getFoo();
if (foo.isPresent()) {
collection.add(foo.get());
}
Turns out there's asSet which lets you write code like this:
collection.addAll(getFoo().asSet());

How to make your java *testing* rules test-only.

DEPS=

DEPENDS_ON=

TESTONLY_NUMDEPS=1

else
