Did you bump up the memory (-Xmx) for Eclipse (in eclipse.ini)?

Second: Eclipse "edition" matters... like, there is Eclipse for "Java developers" and the one for "J2EE developers, etc".
The J2EE edition includes some tooling for Javascript, and that can get completely stuck (CPU at 100%, vents screaming) while trying to deal with large Javascript libraries (say, jQuery). So, try disabling Javascript validation, see if that helps, or just get a Java developer edition. BTW Eclipse support for Javascript is not good at all, so no big loss if you disable it.

Next... it used to be that certain antivirus software (McAffee for sure) was slowing down everything big time.

Anyways, on a fairly old machine with 8GB RAM, SSD, i7 (4/8) and Oracle JDK and Eclipse 4.4.2. Eclipse works very well. Btw this is on OSX, but some people here use Windows, and it seems to work well on that, too. Hope this helps!

I can't argue with that at all. I'm just saying if you're stuck using 'C', it's worth learning the strategies and habits needed to prevent unsafe code.

There are issues other than safety that influence these decisions. Rust & Lua are also closer to 'C' than is Ruby, so ....

What I like about SQLAlchemy is that it gives me a choice. I went with Core because I wanted the sense of security from building SQL queries with a library instead of out of strings.

Since the ORM wasn't forced on me, I was able to come around to it on my own. I've started to warm up to it recently even though I can't say I'm totally sold on it. The nice thing I can say about the ORM as of right now is that I don't feel like I'd be throwing away my core experiences to embrace it.

A multi user system that I bought in the mid 80's held a max of 4mb of memory and a max of 144mb hard drive. I think the memory was something like $4000 (in 80's dollars, that's close to $9000 today) for 2mb of memory. So that was just the cost of the memory. On that system by the way you could hook up 26 Wyse terminals. We had maybe 12 terminals hooked up with 2mb of memory and a 72mb hard drive. No graphics everything was pretty system. It ran accounting and job scheduling systems (some of which I actually wrote myself as a non-programmer). At the time I think dinner for two was about $35 for a nice place. Healthcare was $65 per month for the best possible plan. IIM I was a few years out of college at the time.
It seems clear that they used the word "integer" to clarify that only whole number multiples were allowed, and not 1.5, 2.7, etc. As to whether 1 is allowed, that's not determined one way or the other by the use of the word "integer".

As to the patent owner originally accusing n=1 being part of the infringing apparatus/method, I agree that they shouldn't have done this if n=1 doesn't make sense in the context of their patent. That's more likely the mistake then the current CC.

So much better than the title of an article in a recent Time magazine issue: "Ambition is not working for women" Lame.
For objects passed by reference, a Swift "let" signifies immutability of reference (not value); thus you can append to the NSMutableArray but not reassign to a different NSMutableArray. On the other hand a native Swift Array assigned via "let" would be immutable from both a value and assignment perspective.

It makes sense that the patent troll would skip past 1 as an integer when claiming infringement on its patents. Microsoft already patented 0s and 1s.

As an Android user I'm very fond of native apps as long as they integrate into the OS well via activities, intents, content provider interfaces etc, all stuff you can't really do with web apps (though I know someone is going to want to chime and and talk about WebIntents or whatever other thing nobody actually uses because it just doesn't deliver the same sort of flexibility as what I'm talking about).

So I'm sticking with native apps where it makes sense.

Having said that, for the type of site this actual post is discussing, eh... web is probably just fine. Go ahead and use it... I have no issue with the linked article, but some of the people discussing this here and other places seem to be nudging this into a discussion about "mobile web is ready to replace all native apps", which IMO is a ridiculous statement.

This sentiment is quite common, but the reality is that patents trolls are simply a few pieces of paper (IP, Articles of Incorporation, Short term contracts for rent and consultants) and thus a difficult target. If you were to challenge and destroy their IP in court, you would prove it worthless and they would disband, recapitalize, acquire more IP and reincorporate.

hi there! no intentional mischaracterization at all. I posted below but I'll mention it again. The patent owner actually originally, at the outset of the litigation, included "1" in their definition of "integer." Later, they changed it to be only "n>=2."

https://twitter.com/vranieri/status/647179711563431940

I've seen this before (on BOTH sidees, to be clear): someone changes a plain meaning of a term to avoid losing. Not sure that's what's happening here, but it looks like it.

edit to add: Because of some confusion about the purpose of this post. It is to point out the flaws with the current system.

Words in patents are twisted "like a nose of wax" in order to arrive at a particular outcome (and as I mentioned, both patent owners and alleged infringers do this on occasion). A patent system that allows this then completely undermines the public notice function of patents. A patent should tell the public not only what the patent owner claims to own, but also what is free for others to use.

That failed here. Someone who wants to avoid infringement, on reading this patent, can't tell what they can and cannot do.

In the end, parties are spending thousands (likely millions) of dollars to figure out what "integer" means. Why? Because the patent owner, who was in the best position to tell the world what she invented, used a word that has a very precise meaning when other words could have avoided all of this.
This is exactly what the Hosted Web App and Web App Manifest Specs are meant to address:

http://www.w3.org/TR/appmanifest/

Unfortunately, the two largest mobile platforms (iOS and Android) don't have native support for these specs yet. And I'm not sure if they ever will properly support them since they'd probably prefer to keep the free developer lock-in they get with their native app platforms.

In the mean time though, you can use projects like Manifold JS to create Cordova-based polyfills for those platforms:

When you start comparing costs, RAM is extraordinarily cheap. Under $10CAD/GB. I do contract work primarily, and hardware that saves time (e.g. by reducing the time for compile cycles) pays for itself very very quickly. I have a client who likes to have me work on-site and has development machines with only 4GB of RAM. Last year, we were doing builds that took minutes on my personal beefy machine, and an hour or two on theirs. The extra RAM would have paid for itself the first day it showed up, and would have paid a dividend every following day...

When a patent covers X, Y, and Z, (or, 1,2, and 3) and it turns out that X (=1) is unpatentable, would that make Y and Z unpatentable?

Anyway, EFF does a disservice by through flame on the issue instead of explaining it clearly. I still have no idea who is suing over over what, and why it matters what "integer means".

Suppose the word integer weren't used at all -- what would it mean if the patent had originally stated explicitly "integer greater than 1" vs "integer greater than 0" ?

Please advance the conversation forward, don't muddy it up with grandstanding rhetoric.

"But to a broke college student, anything that costs more than a few hours of minimum wage =/= free."

With all due respect to a college student today there are so many things you can do to make money that your professor couldn't do back in his day. It doesn't even come close. And back in his day (if it's the same as my day) if you hustled (which I did for example) you never ever earned minimum wage. I did (as I am sure many people did) many things on the side in order to make money. And that was back when I have to say it was a bit more difficult than it is now.

> it's the model where Google is giving money to the sites you visit, in proportion to the level you visit them

Is it, though? Perhaps a closer inspection of the payment model is in order. I found this:

> You’ll pay the market price for each ad space that shows a thank you message or pixel pattern. This price can vary a lot. The exact price is determined at the time of the Google ad auction.

Further details are here:

https://support.google.com/contributor/answer/6084026?vid=1-...

Essentially, you are bidding against a website's advertisers and paying the going rate for that ad slot. Not all content is equally valuable to advertisers. Consider the high cost for cancer targeted advertising compared to targeting an audience for, say, some form of generic cola beverage. The page with the cancer advertisement will receive a higher portion of your Contribute budget than the page with the cola advertisement (if it's replaced at all.. Google may decide they get more money with the cancer-related ad than with your Contribute bid).

So, it doesn't seem to distribute your money in proportion to your level of visits. If you visit a single site more frequently than others, then sure, that site may get a larger number of bites at your budget, but if the value of that space is very low then the total sum you provide to this content creator could be less than what you give to the owner of the click-bait link you followed once and forgot about.
Skyward releases first version of air-traffic control for drones
Ad 2. No, you omitted mother-child bonding during pregnancy, because it gives the mother an advantage.

Also, breast-feeding is how nature intends it, milk formula (invented relatively recently) is a crutch. So it does give women an advantage over men. As for midwives - they are women, not men.

Following your reasoning, we could say "there is nothing that necessitates sex between a man and a woman" - because we have in-vitro conception?
> We've had Arduinos and Raspberry Pis, but stuff like this really opens a lot of doors.

I think this is an inflexion point for IoT at amateur level. We have the CHIP for RPi-level devices, running full Linux, with WiFi and BT onboard.

We have particle.io and soon digistump.com for Arduino-level devices with WiFi and soon cellular onboard.

My prediction: the number of IoT projects I'll see next time at the Maker Faire will just explode.

I have a Photon (by particle.io), I've preordered a CHIP and an Oak (by digistump.com). Very excited to play with the new toys.
Open sourcing local backup server software would be a cool move.
Seriously? Downvotes for stating a fact (not opinion)?
There are people who say the $9 price point is unrealistic, and that the company will have to start taking additional "preorders" at higher prices just to afford to manufacture the preorders they already have, or that it's relying on corporate partnerships and funding to sell at a loss until enough interest is built up that they can increase the price. This is a fairly small shipment, which probably won't change any minds on that subject.

$9 is substantially less than the BOM cost, even assuming huge quantity discounts. A small American startup does not have access to some secret source of ultra-cheap components. The price is marketing spin, nothing more.
Probably has to do with how it analyzes the object it's cutting on, and determines what's suitable from there.

Thanks for clarifying. The point that matters here is, word games aside, what is the legal difference between "the integer can be 1, 4, ..." and "the integer can be 4,..." (excluding 1)

As someone who has ordinary skill in mathematics, (and cperciva above, who has extraordinary skill in mathematics, agrees), I see the use of "integer multiple" here not as a unambigious plain meaning at all. It's akin to saying "This patent covers the use of lasers in blah blah" -- did the patent intend to include a case where exactly one laser is used? The answer depends on context -- real lawyering, not language-lawyering.
While apps have more capability, the web can do pretty much anything you need with content and data. The only time you really need an app is for CPU-intensive work or accessing hardware.
Right, the funded valuation is different from the valuation the IRS cares about, the Fair Market Valuation (FMV) or 409a. The amount of AMT you owe is determined by the FMV, which probably hasn't risen much if at all, so you may still be able to spend only the cost of the shares.

That said, $15k is a lot to throw at something that will probably fall apart in the next 9 years.
Especially combined with management tasks; I find coding and management hard to combine. At least in my brain they feel very different and as a CTO I feel I must do both.

> If you're serious about web programming you're not using Python anyway.

Web programming in general is not CPU intensive, so async I/O (which Python already does well, as you point out--except for the API issue, see below) works fine for web programming.

> if you insist on python, we have plenty of options to do async i/o already

But all of their APIs suck, at least IMO. Supporting async I/O with built-in language syntax, to make code easier to write and more readable, seems like a good idea to me.
Professional gamers: how much money do you make?
Pavornyoh, Dude, I Got It! Helps people share ideas that they normally do nothing with. This can help people feel more expressed and could possibly act as a cathartic way to anonymously let go of a thought. In return, money can be made.

Your idea is perfect for Dude, I Got It!. You pay one Penny to create the Gotit (idea), and it starts at 1 Penny. Someone else pays 1 Penny to see the Gotit. If they like it, it goes up to 2 Penny. The next person pays 2 Penny to see the idea. Once it reaches 11, you make 90%. So, if your Gotit is at 100 Penny, you get 90 each time someone pays to see it.

Does that make sense? Do you want me to explain anything else?

Whats the ducting capability on exhaust?

Munching on wood with an Epilog laser will produce copious volumes of smoke, and the air assist and 400CFM blower are not trivial pieces of equipment to embed in a unit to properly quell any fires and actually extract all the air needed.

It's been that way in Firefox for as long as I can remember (user since Firefox started). I believe the actual intent is that the right click menu is a "context" menu and not a shortcut menu. In this, case, the context is that you have text highlighted. Without a selection, the context is the page.
Actually, the harsh reality is that we do not yet have a digital content ecosystem that makes consuming any digital media easy for the vast majority of the population (US or otherwise). This is why netflix can do what they do: they have a walled garden where the entire experience is driven purely by their interface and delivery mechanisms (see also: Steam in the PC games space).

I've written specs for studio approved DRM schemes and done pre-dvd content on in-flight entertainment systems. Please believe me when I say that it is a nightmare even if you DO know what you're doing with all the tech involved, but even if it weren't a legal problem there's a good example that is pretty damning as a foundational assumption: we still don't know how to share a file.

I mean that sincerely: try to get your average non-tech worker to send a file to your grandmother on their own. I can not overstate this enough. This does not work.

We have a lot of distance to cover before the digital content world cares about our niche whims.
In a patent, what matters are the claims at the end. These are what defines what the inventor claims to have a right to exclude others from doing.

If a patent claim covers X, Y, or Z and it turns out that yes, X was known in the art, then yes, the patent will be invalid.

In plain English: Suppose someone claims to have invented doing a thing once, twice, or three times. That patent would give them the right to exclude anyone from doing that thing once, twice, or three times. But if people have been doing that thing once for years, the patent owner is attempting to exclude people from doing things that people already do. That's invalid. The court will not rewrite the claim to save it to being only 2 or 3 times--there may be other ways to do it, but the court is not that way.
Apps are just as bad. Worse because you can't see if you're transmitting over https or not.
On one hand, I can sort of agree with your prof. I learned coding on a system that had 16 kB total memory. The laptop I'm using now has 16 GB RAM and 250 GB storage.

On the other hand, when I'm eyeballing a new environment I'm building in the cloud, one of the first things I'm asking myself is - how much total RAM? (because that's one major driver of cost)

It's all in the perspective.

It's not irrelevant. People may assume they are switching to an entirely independent project when moving to uBlock, but a dependency has now been pointed out.

This is useful information for anyone who "switched to uBlock Origin and never looked back."
