>but I'm suspicious of anything which requires an explicit import step for rubygems that doesn't involve resolving the dependency tree.

The current 'guix import gem' utility doesn't do dependency resolution at all. It just generates some Scheme code for you to start with and you fill in the gaps. It's important to understand that Guix packages specify the exact versions of its dependencies. That includes not only the version number, but its explicit dependencies, the Ruby used during the build, the GCC used for native extensions, the full build script, etc. All of these various inputs to the build function are reflected in the SHA256 hash that uniquely identifies that package.

The loose versioning that Bundler uses is indeed very flawed and prone to strange errors. Guix simply doesn't have this issue.
It doesn't. People like to be offended by things these days.

I've been using Closure Compiler with ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS (which does the dead-code removal) for soundslice.com for several years. It is truly awesome!

Check out 39:30 in my 37signals talk at http://37signals.com/talks/soundslice to find out more about it.

The downside is that, in order for the dead-code elimination to work properly, you need to make sure to "export" things that aren't explicitly called in your JS module. For example, if your JavaScript module just provides some functions that are called by a web page, you'll need to make sure those function calls are "seen" by the compiler so that it doesn't delete them. It just takes a bit of time and thinking to set this up; I believe it originally took me a day to do so for Soundslice.
I have a relatively good understanding of how we came to have 12 notes to the octave, you just misinterpret my statement: keyboards already had 12 notes per octave long before ET came into widespread use. And trying to reconcile this division with a tuning system that relies on natural intervals is an awkward exercise, this is the inappropriateness that I speak of.

As for the discordance of equal-tempered thirds against the perfection of pure thirds, this may be true in a mathematical sense, but not necessarily in a human sense. Our brains are logarithmic in many regards, and a lot of research argues that a logarithmic scale is something for which we have affinity.

Here are a few starters to go through the recent evolution of this debate:

I get what you're saying. I'm a classically trained pianist (and this may be the problem) who has recently taken up the cello. When I'm tuning my instrument, a note on an open string appears to my tuner to easily fluctuate by 4-6 cents. (That is +/- ~2-3 cents.) The article mentions that the tunings often vary by just about this amount. (Some were larger, but many were not.) My ear certainly doesn't hear the fluctuation in pitch that much, and I'm trained (spent 2 years in music school at the university level, had honors theory). When I'm fingering a note, it can vary by even more, even when I don't think I'm moving my finger at all. It seems to me that typical listeners would have a hard time discerning those differences, though I suppose the differences are amplified when played with other notes.
The purpose of this obviously went right over your head.
I already explained a few messages ago that the null hypothesis was indeed that there is no Higgs boson and the peak observed in the LHC data is just noise. They made their analysis and rejected the null hypothesis (p-value less than 0.000001).

"If you correctly measure a p-value of 0.05, that measurement explicitly means that you expect that 95% of your future observations to be consistent with the hypothesis which you used to determine that p-value of 0.05."

Did they correctly measure a p-value of 0.000001? They (and everyone else, apart from maybe you) think that they did.

Do you think they expect 95% of their future observations to be consistent with the null hypothesis (that they used to determine that p-value)?

I would say they were quite confident that the observed peak was not noise, and therefore they expected the signal to be there again if the experiment was to be repeated, rejecting again the null hypothesis. Which is why they announced they had discovered the Higgs boson. But maybe you can convince the Swedish Academy of Science to take Higgs' prize back...

Jemalloc 4.0 Released
Well all those build tools are usually npm packages, and are easily managed as dependencies using package.json (hence why there are so many being used). Adding Java and and a secondary set of dependencies isn't really worth the 5% decrease in minified file size that closure might give you.

I did try to use closure instead of uglify in a project recently - closure was a real pain to deal with compared to tools with equivalent functionality that are written in JavaScript. Cross-language ecosystem tools rarely work well it seems.

This is just speculation but probably nothing. Imgix should be doing their image processing with GPGPU technology (CUDA or OpenCL) which should be pretty much available anywhere.

Technically Apple has had their Metal API available for a while now but I kind of doubt they're using that for image processing.

Expanding on sophalces' point:

Assuming the figures you quoted are correct, how much of the medicare budget is spent on fraud prevention? That includes:

* time spent by Congress and Medicare deciding what is and what is not covered,
* deciding who is and who is not covered,
* what the rules and processes are for preventing and discovering fraud,
* what the process is for handling fraud
* the actual time needed to enforce these rules and follow the processes
* time spent by care givers and patients complying with the rules

I suspect that all of that adds up to more than 10%, and it would go much higher if Medicare tried to reduce the fraud rate below 10% through further enforcement.

That's not the case here, though. They advertise unlimited mobile data with a 7 GB limit on data use through tethering. I'm a T-Mobile customer on this same plan, and when I signed up, T-Mobile was completely honest and explicit about what they were offering.

These people are attempting to cause data that is contractually limited to get counted as part of their unlimited data. What T-Mobile is saying here is that they are going to start counting the data correctly — they're not going back on the unlimited data they promised.
I mostly agree, but I interpret kelukelugames's comment as saying that it's one thing to do your homework and be aware of what you're getting yourself into, but it's quite another thing to actually be living on ramen in your mid- to late-twenties. That is to say, people--especially your typical 22 y.o. undergrad--probably often overestimate their willingness to fully live the life of a PhD/postdoc, regardless of how much they "aren't in it for the money".

I don't do much front-end work, so maybe I'm just missing something, but are all of these frameworks really that much different? If this just for people who haven't learned one of the other frameworks or is there a compelling reason to switch?
Having used both this an Uglify... I can't recommend this.

It's slow. Like... really slow to build. Uglify takes ~10seconds on my code whereas CC took around 10 minutes. Plus the performance benefits - while real - provides very little useful speedup that the V8/whoever JIT won't do anyhow. Even in tight loops.

It's VERY cool, but will add minutes to your deploy/compile time for very little practical benefit. If you're doing a ton of data processing on the client (WHY??) then I guess it might be useful... maybe.

That said - I'm glad it exists. It's a technological benefit even if it's not practically that useful. Those who compare it to the C++ optimization flags are being hyperbolic however: C++ isn't a JIT compiled language so it's Apples to Oranges.
Making sense of the anti-IS struggle
It's not really a contract, as there is no mutual meeting of minds and no opportunity for negotiation on part of the weaker party.

Make sure you're using no later than Oculus Runtime v0.6 if you want the current versions of WebVR-enabled Firefox and Chromium to work. They're both currently built against Oculus SDK v0.5, and they only support one previous version at a time with the betas.

I don't think there is a link to it directly from the Oculus developer's site. But it is available if you Google it.

I believe the WebVR teams are looking into using OSVR to avoid having this issue in the future.
The 4 best productivity tips I learned at Google
I would be reluctant to ever treat my home network as secure. I just don't have time or expertise to validate that. Instead I want my router to be maintained by someone responsible to try and mitigate threats. Google may not be perfect, but they are probably more competent than an ISP or companies like Linksys or Belkin. For Google to be able to update the firmware they need complete access to the system and they could certainly use that to invade my privacy. And the more you trust your home network the more that is a risk to you.

A. Turn your billing model inside out.

- Create an AWS account for each user, and start them in an AWS free tier[1] micro instance. Let them decide when to upgrade to a bigger box, how much to spend.

- Put your images on AWS marketplace[2]. Then customers pay Amazon, and Amazon will pay you your markup.

B. Sample projects! Make some demo videos to give the general idea, and when a person creates a new account, let them try out some sample projects, just to get a feel for the system. After I register my only option is "create new project".

I seriously urge William to, at the very least, survey developers before making this conclusion. I would expect something like "we spoke to 500 developers and at least 60% of them would use the application if it had a more robust dev stack". I find it amazing that extremely analytical and rational people (including myself!) tend to make generalized conclusions without informed data.

> So there are some cases where the status quo is untenable, fraud is blatantly obvious, and people could die untreated do to a lack or resources.

I agree in general; I seem to have given another impression. Absolutely we should reduce corruption and there are cases where it causes serious problems.

But if by "untenable" you mean Medicare should be shut down rather than continue like this, I'd disagree. You describe a serious problem, but worse would be to let all those people suffer. But I agree that 10% is a huge waste (in an enormous budget) the opportunity cost - the people who go untreated - seems high; reducing that waste should be a high priority (I'm assuming they are correct; I have no personal knowledge).

EDIT: Make wording a little more precise
Because, when I look around, I don't see internet being offered at a e.g. per GB rate. So I don't think your dichotomy is correct; I think people WOULD look quite favorably on metered tethered data with up-front costs as opposed to a cap with hidden metered fees or retroactive fines.

However, even if it WERE correct, I much prefer to think of internet as a service. It is incredibly frustrating to deal with tiers that are only slowly approaching the reality they use to defend the tiers themselves. I'm very open to the idea that bandwidth might be a dominating restriction, but the optimal way to deal with it would be a) transparency and b) incentivizing avoiding congestion. However, I'm afraid to tether my computer and actually take advantage of the service I'm paying for since the tools are horrible to actually figure out what the costs might be or how to avoid them.

Fabric solves many of the same problems that other front-end frameworks do, in a way that is specific to Microsoft. We have our own design language and interaction patterns that all Microsoft apps share.

This is specifically designed for people to make add-ons to Office 365 that look like they belong as part of the software. While I don't doubt you could use it standalone, I don't see MS advocating that you do.
FORTH is a glorious little language. You can get a bunch done in a very small amount of code. You can get a running FORTH system working, from scratch, very very quickly (on bare metal, maybe a couple of days).

That said, I've seen very few projects successfully in FORTH. There are a few, but not many.

Additionally, historically the language has been a lightning rod for kooks and bad engineering practices. All of the experience I have of FORTH in the video game industry was watching people serially fail (they would typically get twisted up in their FORTH environment, get obsesssed with the FORTHness of this and that, and forgot to ship a title; more mature users would run into intractable organizational and performance problems that forced them to ditch the language).

But it's still a great language, and a worthwhile thing for software practitioners to know and play with.

10 minutes? I'm sorry this is just FUD. I've seen very large ClojureScript projects that generate nearly 100,000 lines of JavaScript and even with advanced optimization (the slowest mode by far) I've never seen it take longer than a minute and a half.

As far as Uglify compression performance, in my experience it consistently generates a final production file twice as large as Closure if you're following the Closure conventions. And Uglify doesn't do the fancier things like code splitting + code motion.

"Vendors sometimes attempt to block standardization of anything that would require a change to their existing products.

Some vendors also neglect to distinguish standard features from proprietary ones, so customers stray into implementation-specific territory without warning."

Beats the pants of it - if you can live with the limitations.

It doesn't change string access, but it does rewrite dot access so you have to use dot access except when dealing with e.g json.

It doesn't work with the with statement, or code that is run with eval. You have to specifically export functions that should be used outside the code, otherwise they may be inlined, renamed or deleted.

Finally to get the most out of it, you have to write jsdocs for its types (at which point it can now do things like inlining functions).
