By team, I think you mean me. I'm flattered! :)

Being a headless UI library doesn't necessarily mean that it has no business being in charge of your UI, it's more about the way that you interact with the API. If you look closely at React Table, it absolutely does take charge of your UI via prop-getters and inversion-of-control integrated into your table markup.

There are plenty of table libraries that do exactly what you are referring to by handling the things you want to "outsource" pertaining to UI-specific features. Ag-Grid comes to mind here, which is a fantastic library and might do what you're looking for. However, the main takeaway here is that markup-bound APIs that are designed to be totally "in charge of your UI" may not always get out of the way when you need them to. Take it from a maintainer who has seen hundreds and hundreds of "issues" and "feature requests" that essentially amount to "how can I take back control of the [markup, styles, scrolling, pagination, resizing magic, frozen columns, etc]".

It's true that there is a bit more work involved in managing this on your own, but you're not really on your own after all. Fostering a good community of examples and resources around a low-level library like React Table v7 relieves most of that pain and you'll find that the amount of work to build and control your own table markup and styles is not only easy, but liberating.

Also, I don't really think it's fair to generalize structure/pagination/sorting/filtering as trivial tasks. Conceptually they are all very simple, for sure. But, marrying all of these features together in a way that is extremely performant across all of the many flexible permutations of features is very difficult. Ask any table library author and they will likely tell you that those 4 seemingly simple tasks are the ones that complicate everything else by a magnitude of difficulty.

Thanks for your feedback!
I feel like it's similar to Airflow https://airflow.apache.org/
Yes, and it seems that they don't customize the packages as Ubuntu does (Arch does not for sure and that's one of the reasons I'm using it).

So I really wonder how Ubuntu will pull that off (rolling release of customized packages?!)
I understand it is two different authors. The author of the article makes the claims that make the book sound suspicious. Billy Mays didn't make OxyClean, but his advertisements didn't make me think highly of the product.

>Mathematics full professors that are female is a number in the single digits.

I'm not going to let this slide. This would be scandalous if it were true; however:

I could easily keep going.

Edit: As ninguem2 points out, apparently the author was referring to the percentage of female math professors. Nevertheless, if you do not count only doctoral-level departments, even that appears to not be true:

http://www.ams.org/profession/data/cbms-survey/chapter4.pdf

(This study is counting all tenured professors, rather than full professors only, but the proprortion is well enough north of 10% that I feel it's safe to extrapolate.)

Of course, the proportion of female math professors is terribly and inexcusably low, but the situation is at least slightly less bleak than is painted here.
Headphone surround sound (including recordings made with a binaural "head" microphone) can be very convincing until the listener moves his head.

The sounds don't change to match the head motion, and this kills the illusion.
I pay $45.00 a year for a $2,062, no-deductible policy on my MacBook Pro through State Farm. I'd have to have the MacBook for 45 years for the premiums to even equal the payout on loss.
Github provides a convenient place for me to publish my work to the world, allowing others to pull it as they desire (my work machine is a laptop, and can never be relied upon to be up, or at any particular address). Because git is distributed my workflow is not effected in the slightest by "somebody else's" (github's) completely separate repo being down.

Contrast this with something older like subversion and sourceforge. If sourceforge went down you were shit out of luck.
From a philosophical perspective this is true, but even if this website is a poor reflection on Tazo, this has a minimal impact on Tazo's revenues and profits.
Sure, if Tazo were a 3 man startup with no bureaucracy or communication overhead, and with a high incentive to change their page. Never underestimate how much effort and time it takes for bigger companies to make seemingly minute changes.

The more players involved with a product, the harder it is to make radical changes.
The article fails to define merit, perhaps, because, it is extremely hard to define in practical and objective ways.

Failing such definition, any arguments can be made, but they will not necessarily be about merits, but maybe about agendas or thoughts or beliefs or simply opinions that the author has.

Let me take education as the only example. It states that people "tend to" get the education of their class, that is rich people private and ivory league, middle class public and public universities and the poor inner cities schools and no university. Now, the word "tend to" is extremely important. It acknowledges that it is not a rule or anywhere close to it, but somewhat the norm. So that, most people, say 80% do so. Why do the 20% not however? Might it be because the inner city poor kid is intelligent enough and has the right attitude to focus on his studies and go to university? And might it be that the rich guy does not and drifts off into a world of drugs and depression?

Merit is a quality which we define almost to be a prerequisite for success. We know it when we see it, but, to define it, is hard. In the absence of such definition, then, I really can not criticise the article because many of the points it makes may be correct in one view, but quite wrong in another.

Lets take inheritance. Of course a rich person has many benefits, money, the right attitude, the culture as the article defines it, or, nowing the rules of the game. So, seeing as this kid has all of this, then, does not whatever he acquires means that he did so because of merit? Or are we trying to define merit in the way of inherent intelligence, that is, we are all born with a certain equal number of merit, thus, there should be an equal number of poor people in each state. Or is merit a highly complex phenomena, blind indeed to your environment at times, and quite susceptible to it at other times.

I think, for me, merit is this certain quality which does contain ambition, intelligence, high self awareness, and perceptive attitude, a tendency to use reason and logics, as well as environmental factors such as a warm and loving family and others. The combination of this all is that you have these certain attitudes which make you competent and able and willing to do certain things which may lead to achievement and higher earning potential and above all, it gives you the ability to be in control of your environment and control it when things go out of control or try your hardest to do so with all your might and ability and get back on your feet.
Yea I mean there are tons of examples in the tech world of a bunch of disconnected features that on their own are great but aren't properly integrated or carry some simple flaws that prevent them from shining.

When trying to predict the weather, asking what the weather was yesterday is always the best prediction model.

The thing i find interesting about the diagram is that it feel like the center point should be some sort of balance point, but in fact it is just medium skill with medium challenge lacking a descriptive word.
I just tried using the site. It seems quite a bit rough around the edges.

The search bar looks kind of strange with the black background and the bars between each character. I wasn't even sure where I should start typing as the search bar doesn't really look like a search bar. From http://sivers.org/quirks, "The best design should do what people expect, and should not make them think."

Also, I tried searching for my flight today that had been canceled. It was American Airlines flight 5066, but I entered "5066", "AA5066", and "American Airlines" and searching the flights, and could not find it.

Finally, how you checked out flightcaster.com? It's a YC startup from 2009. I'm not sure how your site does much different than that website other than the google earth visualization. I was using flightcaster.com and flightstats.com to check the status of my flight today. Perhaps you could just focus on the google earth visualization and import the data from these websites?

Sorry to be so critical above, but I hope this helps in some way. Congrats on your first launch!
Feel free to ask more precise questions about the architecture but basically it goes like that.

Upon registration, a cryptographic key pair (RSA) is generated on the user's computer so Infinit does not have access to the user's private key.

Infinit keeps in its database the name, email and public key of the user. This information is used to identify someone and make it easy to find your friends, colleagues, clients etc. on the product.

When one wants to transfer files, he/she selects a contact and clicks 'Send'. From that point, Infinit identifies the recipient, connects the sender's and recipient's devices; challenges their identities to make sure it matches and finally transfers the data directly.

In this configuration, the data goes straight from the sender's to the recipient's computer, bypassing the cloud altogether.

Infinit can also be used, as you mentioned, to send to yourself i.e to another of your devices. When you do that, a notification pops up on all of your other devices. The device on which you accept the transfer will receive the files.
Just to be clear, I would never use server controls like the Menu in my ASP.NET MVC projects. I just mentioned it to help illustrate how closely related the two really are.
I would like to see the a Medical Journal Article referenced here. Needs more testing, but certainly a great success, no matter what.
While anything that brings more talent into the programming world is a good thing, I find it disappointing when I see such lists encourage cursory understanding like this. While it does have a section on "Becoming the Master", I think that prefacing the section with "[i]f you're still yearning for more" doesn't have the normative force I find in similar but more inspiring works such as Raymond's "How to Become a Hacker."

Personally, reading the following in Raymond's essay many years ago impressed me with the importance of mastery and motivated much of my attitude toward programming:

"Learning to program is like learning to write good natural language. The best way to do it is to read some stuff written by masters of the form, write some things yourself, read a lot more, write a little more, read a lot more, write some more ... and repeat until your writing begins to develop the kind of strength and economy you see in your models."

The focus on mastery is critical to any hacker's path, in my opinion -- it is not an option.

That said, kudos on encouraging more hackery. :)
This is so simple you don't need a howto.

1) Add the text block above to your ~/.vimrc file, change the email address to be one of your gpg keys.

Take a walk down Lygon st or Hardware Lane of an evening. All the maitre d's will vi for your business with the best deal. You play it cool and you can get 30%+ off the menu costs especially in a large group (Lygon St for groups, Hardware Lane can be touch and go on tables as it is smaller).

I am a bit more shifty as I normally have the target place chosen before I even leave home and will try to make sure the maitre d' seeing me chatting to next door so I can play him off against them.

It is all good natured and they expect it.

Yeah that is great rebranding.

All it needs now is 'try Racket in your browser' and a video of some dude making a blog in 15 minutes using Racket. Then it will be the new hotness.

You're using it now. Arc was built on top of PLT and news.arc ships with it. So,you are using the killer app / example that you are looking for right now.

:)

EDIT: Clarification
As a developer "on the other side" I can tell you that you would be surprised how hard it is to follow along at these meetings.

For example: Most of the meetings I attend are largely ad-hoc with printed material being handed out at the time of the meeting - usually not available on the company intranet (or emailed) until after the meeting. It makes it immensely difficult to follow along and contribute in a meaningful manner.

Honestly, there are many benefits to having everyone "remote" for a group meeting. It focuses the meeting. After the meeting you still have the luxury of walking over to your co-workers's desk and chatting in detail about the problem.
Overview of AXE and Plex: http://www.mrtc.mdh.se/publications/0802.pdf

IMS user manual: http://cryptome.org/ericsson-ims.zip

You can also find AXE simulators online, and various other downloads, if you are interested in developing your own rootkit.

My take is that a government was involved in this break-in. The AXE systems have huge market share, so one well-written rootkit could be used over and over again. I am surprised that there was no a manufacturer response here asking network operators to perform independent checksum checks on all running switches (ie. using tools from a disk that is trusted, not the local tools which can be compromised). I am also surprised that the AXE OS doesn't have a better default 'tripwire' system.

For it to happen on phone networks is scary - but rootkits for IOS (the cisco os) have been available for a long time now so intercepting Internet data is probably more common.

Well, the thing I'm wondering about is how this misalignment brings more harsh results with the almost total departure of the IPO exit, about which many or most say Sarbox was the last straw.

When no IPOs are combined with the dot.com crash most VCs have little to show for the last ten years, and when you further combine that with the credit crisis as you note, the prospect of mutually satisfactory VC exits may be getting very unlikely.

All this is another reason why it may be the case that "the VC game is numbered" as you note elsewhere.
WOW. If I could, I would vote for this twice! I wish I had found this years earlier; it would have made acclimation to the command-line much quicker.

Fantastic.
Yeah I get the same feeling, not about copying or anything but they don't really convince, they don't really have that kind of persuasion Jobs has. Apart from Ive, and even with Ive he's persuasive in "one to one", but his talk feels too intimate, it doesn't really work when you're not alone in front of your screen. But in any case, Ive does come off as believing every single word he says with all of his being, the same way Jobs does. And that is convincing.
This is wonderful. I am currently "Better than a Monkey."

Just.
No, you don't get it. Folks in Europe have been able to videochat since the first UMTS phones came out.
> A lot of homeless people are not prepared to just have cash

Sure, that's a fair hypothesis. But studies have shown that it tends not to be true, and that direct cash assistance is actually often a remarkably effective intervention, and often more effective than other welfare programs.

The studies have generally shown that a lot of homeless people actually are prepared to just have cash.

I don't think direct cash assistance is a panacea or anything, but the data shows it is often much more effective than people expect it to be.

The studies on this are actually fairly conclusive, so if you want to push back I'd need to see solid data as pushback. Anecdotes won't really convince me otherwise on this topic, because we've had a lot of experiments that have created a pretty strong record.
That just leads to a scenario where people pay for stuff and are subjected to ads. There is no situation where business owners wouldn't benefit from putting ads into their stuff. Choosing not to do it means leaving money on the table.

> Clearly we have both had miraculous enlightenment because legally this is “not obvious”.

To be precise, legally it is "not obvious back in 1996." There is a lot of stuff that is obvious today that wasn't 25 years ago. That said, this one in particular probably would have been invalidated as obvious if it was ever litigated (and it was not). Also, the USPTO has reined in software patents a lot in recent years (but always people advocating for more or less).
I'm very novice Go player, but I've only ever played with Japanese rules. Could you (and ig1) explain what's so wrong with them? I don't remember ever thinking that the score counting would be somehow complex or unintuitive.

Why would they be perceptibly slower?
Is the affiliate-ness of the links made explicit?

If the author is making clear he or she will get a commission on sales through the link, I don't think "dubious" is a fair description.

Might actually be interesting to have a review site with both positive and negative reviews, but only include affiliate links with the positive ones. The links would signify an explicit endorsement of the product. Would make it clear the reviewers don't endorse everything out there, and somewhat tie their reputation to the quality of what they endorse.

Personally, I don't have a problem with people making money from content they create, as long as their transparent about how they're making it.
I think that Docker is changing the cloud computing scenario, no doubts about it.
Docker is like a swiss army knife. AWS is doing great integrating docker with Elastic BeansTalk and we can say that AWS is becoming even more a PaaS provider now.
Actually, not really. Large trucks could work like trains have for the past several decades: diesel generators produce electricity, which powers electric engines what propel the train.
This is nice, however my advice is if you're looking for something like this you're better off going directly to http://cocoapods.org then running `pod try XXX` in the terminal to load the sample code directly in Xcode. This will work for ~9000 libraries.
Here in the US, Google Maps with traffic data provides situational awareness as I drive, albeit without voice alerts [but at far longer ranges than make sense for alert based notification]. This suggests that over the long haul, the technology stack from my pocket to the map server may ultimately become public service infrastructure along the same logical path that propelled fire fighting from a private to a public sector service.
You say this like the car companies aren't developing self-driving technology too. They are - they just don't need or want to shout about it as they don't want to cannibalise the existing market until it's necessary.
Still never seen one that does.

Does this tech, or even regular PVs, break-even energy-wise? I.e. do they produce more energy during their life-time than it takes to create them? Because if not, then a widespread deployment will only make our problems worse.

Of some relevance, as it's topics, Amtrak was just before the Supreme Court, debating whether or not they were a "private company" or a "government agency" (to put it in a nutshell, anyway).

The Supreme Court found that they were much more like a government agency than like a private company, despite their assertions to the contrary.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll take this to our Dev Environment team.
I apologize, but to me you came over like you haven't seen a nice one before :).

I might do the same in your shoes. But the fact remains that pitbull is no more dangerous inherently than your average mutt. Probably less so. Yes when they go wrong they tend to cause a bigger mess - but so does Porsche or Ferrari. But we don't go around banning the dangerous car.
January 1st is the default fiscal method for all taxpayers in the US. Business entities can choose to use their fiscal year as their tax year when they incorporate/charter. Individuals can also choose a non-calendar year tax year, but only before they file their first tax return.

All US taxpayers can change their tax year by petitioning the IRS for a change of taxable year; this is usually granted without hassle for businesses (i.e, C-Corporations), but almost never for individuals.

Just out of curiosity, do people get this upset when NPR and PBS do their fund drives?

Yeah, actually. Most NPR listeners I keep in touch with hate fund drive season and find it highly annoying.

Frankly, I hate ads that play sound and obscure the page I'm trying to read, too. The reason I'm particularly annoyed at Wikipedia is because I hold Wikipedia to a higher standard. If Wikipedia had ads that played music or obstructed the article (even pledge drive ads featuring Jimmy Wales' goatee) I would be even more annoyed.
Could you not observe the potentially dangerous dogs and then logically conclude that it may be prudent to leave the area? Why would you have to be afraid?
I agree completely, the show has some weaknesses. I didn't like the stones either, and I'm lukewarm on the Lucian alliance incursion. That said, this show has provided me with many hours of entertainment that I really enjoyed. I even liked the more "hard scifi" episodes of early season 1. Sure, the show had its share of stupidity and missed opportunities, but for me there was enough clever and stimulating content to keep me really invested.
That's because Extensions can be GreaseMonkey Scripts, so they can change a page (or a specific page) HTML.
