To clarify for non-natives (or non-Oxonians):

Similar to Cambridge, for most or all subjects, Oxford will award a BA after three years, not just what we might think of now as 'arts'. Depending on the subject and institution, you might only get the BA if you stop after three years rather than carrying on for an undergraduate masters e.g. Study Engineering Science at Oxford for 4 years and you get an MEng (assuming you pass the required standards). You will not get a BA. Had you stopped after three years (or somewhere before the end of the 4th year) you'd have got a BA and could apply for the MA 21 terms after you matriculated.

Virtual Reality – Augmented Reality – The Top 7 Trends of Apps in 2015
I totally agree. However I would hope most people can see past a poorly worded title.
The "ghetto" dig seems unearned to me. The error message isn't great, but this post is largely much todo about nothing. Software worked in a way you found non-obvious and opaque, we can discuss that till the cows come home but it doesn't explain the mini-tantrum documented in the blogpost.

The first two things I thought to google off that error message ("native package version may not have a revision", '"native package" revision') lead to a workaround as the first result, and an explanation of the limitation respectively.

I don't know anything about debian packaging beyond the time I used deb-src to grab a package and debug a PAM module, and I won't defend their packaging process and tools as I don't know them. But even I know the difference between quilt and native packages, something your manged to come out the other end of this process without stumbling into. If documentation reads "You should only use a native Debian package when it is clear that the package would only ever be of use in Debian," I'm not going to fault Debian for not giving you the version number flexibility you're angry they only provide to quilt (non-native) packages.

You assert "The Debian team will X" as if you somehow know the Debian team well enough to predict how they'll respond to the suggestion while simultaneously not knowing the Debian project well enough to grasp the basics of their packaging format? I should have just stopped reading when you admitted your only two debugging tools were google and printf.
Looks interesting and it's a nice feature. Not sure if it is a standalone app though - I have the default weather app that works just fine.

However, you have something that would be valuable to other Apps such as Next, New Look or similar (I'm in the UK, so these shops may not be relevant to you.). I would suggest approaching them and offering to license your software so every morning a push alert is sent to their users with the weather for that day and a suggested outfit from their shop. That is the only route to real monetisation that I can see.

Exactly. Looking at the video linked in the article, RaGaPa shows what ads on Google's home page might look like. Surely Google doesn't want to be associated with certain products that way?
It wasn't novel though. I had personally implemented a drag-to-scroll interface with momentum and bounce-back for a Web 1.0 startup in 1999. Just substitute mouse pointer for finger and it's exactly the interface that mobile devices use today.

I can't think it even remotely conceivable that I invented that. It's just one of the first things you think of.

Stock-Market Tumult Exposes Flaws in Modern Markets
i agree that there are multiple templating solutions, but i disagree that they fill the same niche. this is a language usability (UX even) thing, not a purity thing. the fact is people do '...'.format(locals()) for the same purpose (or '...' % locals()), which is strictly worse and may not even work on some python implementations. i also disagree that this feature goes against the zen of python: practicality beats purity, after all.
yeah it's pretty configurable, the syntax to do so is rather ugly though. I'm using it like this: https://gist.github.com/lorenzhs/c8b442ce831f0211f3d8 which shows me whether I have staged and unstaged changes, the current branch and commit, rebase/... status, etc.

I don't remember from where I got this config, it's a mix of things I found online.

Digital Distraction Syndrome
I think these (and the pepper thing?!) are all good lessons for you if you're able to learn from them. The key things I missing from your portfolio are: A. The Elusive Obvious B. Communication of Value. Those are your blind spots. Nail those and with your other qualities you'll be successful. I hope this feedback is useful to you:

A. The Elusive Obvious: What is a "fashion weather app?" It's obvious to you, but not enough other people. The Elusive Obvious is a common problem and the good thing is: it's relatively easy to correct. Just use the "elevator pitch" or "grandparent description" techniques. Say "It shows you attractive people in cool clothes automatically dressed for the weather forecast so you know what to wear that day."

B. Value: You have to tell everyone who hasn't bought your app why to spend five minutes, 99 cents, 1.6 MB, learning and using your apps instead of doing other things we already love like making a stir fry and letting the chips fall where they may w/r/t weather: How much will we get back for our expenditure? Tell a story, will it save us time? Lead to better social results? Save us money? Change our mood, make us laugh, validate our clothes choices? Lead with emotion.

You can't count on your customers to hang out in 45-minute brainstorming sessions ideating all the reasons they should use your program. You've got to tell them point-blank.

(And now I'm off to do the most important thing which is to apply all these critiques to myself. Good luck, Oliv__)
Plain vanilla signing obviously works, and you could (and can, according to a quick check) - just paste your encrypted message back into the window and sign it (unless I grossly mis-understand signing, which I might do..)
I don't get how this was a patent to begin with. The door in my room has a "slide-to-unlock" lock that dates back 50 years. Surely Apple did not invent this.
I think that the CPU cost could be reduced if the CPU had some kind of instruction for array access:
if you 'hardcode' that an 'array' has its address stored in register Rx and its length stored in Rx+1, you can easily have an instruction "checked_load Ry <- Rx, <index>" this instruction can have a latency similar to a normal load instruction as it could check the value of the index with Rx+1 in parallel to the load (1).

And if you have a 'load aligned double word' instruction which load two consecutive word in Rx and Rx+1 (aligned to avoid the thorny issue of page missing in the middle of an instruction), you can reduce the cost of having to manage both the array address and its length.

Sure this isn't free: more registers used, more cache used, still it doesn't look THAT bad from a performance POV no? Or very complex to implement. Is-there something I'm not understanding?

1: and if the checks fails there is TRAP executed, which is compatible with C/C++ semantic.
Well, yes, and I'd guess the exposure on these is probably better than on traditional life insurance. The article does make reference to present values of the things several times and the prices these guys are paying are much less. Nonetheless, the question, as posed, doesn't give enough information to really answer it.

It seems more & more the solutions to the big 3 diseases: cancer, heart disease, and dementia/alz, involve direct DNA / RNA / Mitohcondrial DNA reprogramming.

One of the key points to a reliable clock is not requiring electricity. Big Big is all mechanical. Would be a pity to start adding active components.
UI stuff is not trivial.

Simple != trivial. The art is in designing a high quality experience, not in solving a programming problem.

Look and feel is a very real and valuable thing in the marketplace. The big differentiator between Apple and everyone else is that Apple pays attention to - or used to pay attention to, anyway - the user experience,

The code behind the experience was always secondary to that. Users don't care about it, and they're completely fine with not caring.

I agree that there are limits, especially when there are patents on rounded corners or specific English words.

But generally if there's innovation in the user experience on a screen it's potentially patentable, even if the code behind it is trivially simple.

AIs have no concept of user experience, so it's unlikely you'd get much of marketable value out of one.
It might not be racist if it had just ripped off Miss Cleo, a famous 'psychic' who claimed to be Jamaican. Hilariously enough, the image used on the site is from a French Toast Crunch commercial parodying Miss Cleo (incidentally, it looks like she is now suing General Mills for the ad).

So the op has taken a ridiculous stereotype as the starting point. I wouldn't be that offended.

But jamming another black stereotype on top by calling it "ask jemima" an obvious reference to Aunt Jemima. People already consider that imagery to be racist. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/racially-insensitiv... I think combining both of these together so haphazardly is a pretty bad idea.

Anyway, to the op: best of luck with your company.
Well in EU some algorithm is surely patentable if it has a "technical effect", for instance if you can move a robot arms consuming less energy or producing less waste materials, it must have a physical impact on something. Quote: "the method didn’t reach a level of sophistication needed to award patent protection", just this, lol at patenting it in the first place.
EDIT: as observed by others, `->` should actually be `->>`, sorry for the typo, but unfortunately I can't edit the original comment anymore. Also forgot there's no "sum" already defined in Clojure, so replace that with `(reduce +)`

> It might require changes to the pendulum

Not necessarily, tweak it to run slightly fast and rely on the natural dampening ability of a magnetic field to generate a slowing force on moving conductors, then apply a (an extremely) modest (AC to demagnetize) and controlled magnetic field to slow it down to dead on accurate (probably as determined by a $10 GPS module, or I guess a 7 or so pound gps module). Also you can sense pendulum position with the usual optical technologies, so no contact with historical relics needed there either.

Given the "fun" of controlling precision currents vs the ease of controlling precision times/durations its probably easier to run a standardized constant current thru the correctional electromagnet for a varying X nanoseconds just before the top of the hour rather than trying for a continuous 8 bit precision field that'll never really settle down.

A better design than running the correction routine hourly would be continuous position/time monitoring and run the correction field every time the phase variance between the clock and a GPS receiver exceeds a tenth of a second absolute difference or whatever, then monitor how often that correction happens (and alert when broken, etc).

The best part of doing it non-contact is other than dust not settling where the apparatus is sitting, hundreds of years from now researcher types will have no evidence the apparatus was there. Which I guess would be good if they're researching 1800s clocks and bad if they're researching 2000s microcontrollers... hmm.
From the article:

“We believe that loss of the apical PLEKHA7-microprocessor complex is an early and somewhat universal event in cancer,” he adds. “In the vast majority of human tumor samples we examined, this apical structure is absent"

I'm not saying you're wrong, but this seems to be suggesting that treatments based on this mechanism could potentially be used to treat the vast majority of cancers. You're saying this is wrong?
Yeah, I personally don't like this behaviour either. However, paper specifically talks about internal code search tool, which is really pretty amazing, especially when it comes to finding and jumping to references.

Not sure why you were downvoted as I've read similar reports that the Linux builds from Unity are not the best.

Hopefully though now that their main product is expected to work 100% correctly on Linux, that this will lead to fixes in their Linux compiler.
Yeah and in theory we all know that, right? But especially with Bitcoin I totally forgot about it, although I'm probably far less enthusiastic than most Bitcoiners (don't read much about it, only own $2 worth of Satoshis, etc). For some time I really thought Bitcoin would solve money. And that's where I think the real learning comes in, when you transfer your theoretical knowledge and see how it applies to reality.
Unity has been available for Mac for quite some time.

You should always trade by specifying your own limit.
The module story is pretty comparable and many things can be translated directly between OCaml's module system and Scala's.

With the module being roughly equal, and while objects suck in OCaml, but don't suck in Scala, I'm kind of surprised by your judgment.
That's not entirely true. React Native does indeed run on the native device, not in a JS "container". The JS part is a bit of glue code. In the case of iOS for example, React Native uses the same exact UI toolkit that runs natively on the iPhone as if you have written it in Swift or Objective-C. Apple's JavaScriptCore exposes the native elements with a JS api, but they are not running inside JS. Only a minor part of the glue is interpreted as JS, and it's not usually the CPU-intensive stuff.
Yeah, really.
Then the entire community got it all wrong. DSLs are much, much more composable than functions. You can easily compose just parts of DSLs, building new DSLs on top by combining semantic properties from the existing DSLs.

It's just a very different way of thinking about programming in general, and many people just don't get it.
Google’s Container Engine Is Now GA
Yep, Unity is a 2d and 3d game engine. It's pretty nice. I used it in a couple of class group projects in college.

It's often compared alongside the Unreal editor, which I unfortunately haven't taken for a spin yet.
The issue I think is that the documentation which is separated from code can easily go out of sync with the actual code, so it's worth to make writing documentation alongside the code as easy as possible, while trying not to obscure the code itself too much.

Yeah, it feels like they're not different diseases at all, merely different dialects of the same disease (my words, a tad hand-wavey). I understand the need to be precise about the wording and the willingness to not let people get their hopes up too much, but I feel that this "a bunch of different diseases" concept is introducing a whole slew of misconceptions in the mix as well.

There's no way I'd share my private key with whatever extensions there are. It just doesn't feel right.
At what point must they receive protections stronger than that a child gets? Many 17 year olds know what a percent is. Say the 17 year olds in an honors math class. Yet we restrict them to the extent they cannot vote nor sign contracts (with very few exceptions that require parental signatures).

So if we need to apply the same level of protections, does that not also justify taking away rights like voting (assuming taking it away from educated 17 year olds is justified)?
...that's how chaining method calls end up working in most OO languages (take the Scala example in OP's article). And also in Javascript (I can't remember if there is something like `range` in js right now...):

[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
.map(function (x) { return x + 2 })
.reduce(function (a, b) { return a + b })

so the "." in OOP ends up working like "->" or "->>". Heck, you can make the dot in OOP code behave like anything, even like monadic bind (`>>=` or `do` notation in Haskell), if you do OOP-style-monads in JS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0EF0VTs9Dc

(off-topic: this is also my main problem with OOP... the "." can actually end up meaning anything practically, as program logic is concerned, it's like some kind of "infinite operator overloading" :) )
