For an example of using the Wolfram automata-view to look at a problem, think of Fermat's Last Theorem. Can a specific cube (or any higher power, really) be expressed as the sum of two other cubes?

The automata view shows us the answer because when you look at the list of cubes (or any higher power) as binary the resulting image meets the Wolfram test for randomness. Looking at these numbers in any other base has no obvious meaning, but in binary you can instantly see whether some set at least looks like a random automata.

When I look at number theory or indeed any insoluble math problem it always seems to be some variation on people trying to write an equation that satisfies something from a random automata.

Essentially all unsolved problems boil down to an argument about whether you believe automata show randomness or not.
I just canceled mine too. This is absurd.

My issue with getting better at vim is that I've gotten to the point where I'm comfortable moving around text, copying/pasting, and everything I would normally do with a mouse. I know vim is so much more than that, but it's one of those things where "you don't know what you don't know" and because of that, I don't have the incentive to continue learning. Hopefully this post will inspire me to incrementally advance my vim usage.

Yes, exactly. Or let's say I make middleware for a particular piece of software. I can use BuiltWith to find companies that might buy my middleware because they're using that software.

The thing that always frustrated me about Vim (and command-line apps in general) is that it punishes you for being a GUI power user. The more mastery you have of conventional GUI keyboard shortcuts to highlight, jump words, copy/paste, etc., the more often you will reflexively hit them and do the wrong thing while trying to use Vim. You have to unlearn a lot of perfectly good skills before you can really master Vim, and that's frustrating.

Of course it's not Vim's fault that the standards established by vi were not taken up by the early GUI systems, but I wish there was a better way to deal with this problem than a figurative grizzled old console cowboy going "suck it up, n00b, it builds character." I'm aware that people have made command sets that make Vim and the *nix console in general more GUI-standards-friendly, but these are never presented to actual CLI newbies, so by the time you're aware of them you've done half the work already...
Unfortunately, this device doesn't solve a thing, and it's good that they're at least honest and didn't edit it out of the video. The deal-breaker here? Lag.

There's a reason people don't use tablets as paper even though they're almost ubiquitous, and perfectly able to act like it. It's because the few hundreds milliseconds it takes to react to user input is enough to make handwriting insanely irritating.

Interestingly, one of the recent Windows tablets (I don't remember the model; I had the opportunity to play with it few months ago) seem to have input lag so low, that you can actually write comfortably on it. So it's most definitely possible.
I need 3 days battery on low usage (offline maps and IRC, plus checking calendar every so and so often, etc), and one whole day (24 hours) with full usage.

The only way I could get it was by throwing every single Google service out, disabling most location services [1], reducing screen brightness (seriously, fuck Lollipop for the new slider), and so on.

And it was also only possible with the Moto G.

The responses I got were along the lines of "if you aren't saving %#% of your income per month, you're living beyond your means". I've lived paycheck to paycheck my entire existence and I'm almost 50 years old. I've had every job imaginable; built custom cabinets for private jets, managed a laundromat, managed a liquor store, cleaned houses, firefighter, managed a furniture store (sold a million dollars worth of furniture in 2 years, in a town of 16,000 people) and my IT career has spanned 20 years. I’ve worked all types of IT from state governments to one of the largest tech companies in the world.

And yet, I still live paycheck to paycheck.

Patent or patent, I don't see how engineers are going to get a bigger slice of the pie, no more than I can see how an artist should get a bigger slice of their pie. Those with leverage get a bigger piece of the pie, like the leverage you get when you control distribution or infrastructure of some kind.

That's why most music artists make little money. It has nothing to do with what % of a production the music artist is responsible for. After production there's also marketing and distribution. The same is for many engineered products.

This is a really good introduction to vim. It is better to think of it as a grammar to manipulate text.

A few additional things that have saved me keystrokes...

replace mode (R)

insert normal mode (<c-o>)

paste from a register in insert mode (<c-r>reg)

expression register (=)

clipboard and active selection registers (+, * respectively)

command ranges (e.g. 10,+5s/foo/bar/g)

miscellaneous commands (:global, :argdo, :normal, etc...)
You're doing yourself a disservice. Intellij (PyCharm) has a vi plugin. Whatever extra stuff you give up from regular Vim, you gain an order of magnitude of productivity using a development environment that is "smart". Think about what PyCharm does for you and what Vim doesn't.

Vi(m) is a model, not an implementation. I wish people would stop handicapping themselves with very bad implementations. Intellij, Visual Studio (Resharper) understands the languages your working in. Let the machine do what it does best and aid you in the language while you concentrate on domain.
It's still a massive issue for me. My Z3C is the first smartphone I've ever owned that pretty much always makes it through a day, even days with heavy usage and I'm stuck trying to make a call at 2AM.

Most smartphones would crap out anywhere from noon to 6-7pm - and my usage isn't that heavy on typical days, maybe 1-2 hours of screen on tops and an hour or two of bluetooth audio.

Sure, I'm often around sources of power, but that means I now have to carry cables, chargers, and battery packs around as part of my daily routine or when going hiking and biking. No thanks. With my Z3C, I no longer have to carry all that junk around, and I know I'll still be able to use it in an emergency even if I get stranded somewhere.

And even if I carry all that crap around, just because I'm usually around sources of power doesn't mean I'm always around sources of power.
Not quite top end ingredients, but higher end... grass fed, hormone free chuck roast, same for the chicken used... I'm in Phoenix so produce is kind of expensive to begin with, leeks were still $2/lb, and parsnips were a bit too... mushrooms at $4-6/lb, it adds up pretty quickly... realizing there was about $20-30 of groceries that didn't go into the soup, and some bits that I had on hand, so my estimates may be a bit off. I also tend to sub some celery root for potato too (used parsnips because the celeriac was anemic and way too much).

If I wanted to I could probably have done it for under $30 for a pot of soup (basic chicken no-noodle) for example. I happen to like a variety of flavors and ingredients.

The $30K vs. $100K isn't the real comparison though. The pilot starts at $30K, but goes to $48K. The MDX is only 7 seats, but is also basically a Pilot for $58K.

A Model X should come in around $80K, assuming it is just a bit more than a comparable Model S, which starts at $70K.

I think one of the things the Model S has done is get someone who might spend $50K on a car to spend quite a bit more than otherwise, because of its coolness factor. I think the Model X will do the same thing, and get people who would otherwise drive something less expensive (in the $50-60K range) to reach upwards to $80K or so because of the cool/wow factor.

I've got a Pilot now; and like it. I need to see the X in person. Right now the falcon wing doors are not a selling point for me and lack of rear-seat entertainment system make it less compelling than it otherwise might be for the money.

Everyone gets phished. Fraud happens. Secret Questions are especially susceptible to phishing attacks. This has been known for about a decade. Apple had not updated the security protocols for iTunes, and in turn App Store and iCloud, for that time. The hack was definitely Apple's fault.

I'm in Phoenix, fresh produce tends to be a bit overpriced here... Also tend to favor hormone free meat, which runs about twice as much (give or take). It was actually closer to $120-130 now that I think about it.. I have a few items of groceries that didn't go into the soup, and estimated some of the things I already had on hand.
I'm confused how this is so high right now. This really is not that innovative or interesting.

It's certainly an interesting angle with which to attack Google.

A few pertinent details:

> The government comes to us from time to time, and if they ask in a way that is correct, and has been through the courts as is required, then to the degree that we have information, we give that information.

Pretty standard stuff. They'll basically give up your info if any court orders them to.

> There have been different conversations with the FBI, I think, over time.

> I don't support a back door for any government, ever.

He doesn't support back-doors. Notice he didn't say there isn't a back-door.

As far as I can tell, Apple will 'give up' your information more or less to the same degree Google will.

Google also runs some algorithms over your data to match an ad to you. Not sure why this is so bad, no data has been given to a 3rd source.

This just strikes me as fluff to attack Google.

BTW, both companies' transparency reports (or at least part):

http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/userdatarequests/co...

http://www.apple.com/ca/privacy/government-information-reque...

BTW - if you compare requests to number of total users of each platform, Apple gives up more data. Not that it matters too much, both seem to comply with applicable laws, although Google's transparency report does seem more extensive.

Either way, not sure I can see the practical difference here.
Such a confusing website, I had no idea what this thing does even after watching the video, it looks like an etch a sketch or a boogie board. I'm sure those buttons do something.
No, you can make do without it. ActiveRecord will connect to your database and learn about your tables at runtime, and if you want you can choose to think of the combination of all your migrations as the source of truth for your schema.

That said I've seen this done, but wouldn't recommend it. Your schema.rb is helpful to collaborators and running through all of your migrations on a new base is silly.
Great that you found a model that you like. To claim that the one others use is wrong is whats wrong with your claim IMO.

> Also, the sea ice itself is much fresher than the ocean, so it's melting temperature is much closer to 0C than you might expect

It's not just about the sea ice melting, but also the sea ice forming. How does sea ice become "fresher" than the salt water that it formed from? How is that processing being affected?

> ... is less then 2C, so it's not a huge difference.

That's really context dependent.

> can't think of an obvious way that acidification factors in

When you dissolve substances in a solution, it changes the melting/freezing points. This is how salt works to de-ice roads during the winter. The ocean is becoming more acidic because the concentrations of other substances in it are increasing. This can affect the freezing point required to form sea ice (or for existing sea ice to melt).

I'm not sure how, or to what extent, which is why I posed it more as food for thought.
While I hate the economic stifling of tech innovation that is the App Store culture, I would like to point out that Jailbroken iphone were used by the Chinese government to target protesters in Hong Kong quite recently.
Its probably good that the media didn't mention it. If it did, I don't doubt that the verdict would be that people of European descent deserved it. After all who else ruined lives of that rifraff and the world in general.

So pony up those reparations. Are you guys ready for Commissar Tyrone to barge in and appropriate your place? They might leave you alive if they're feeling generous, although don't count on it. Anyway it'll be your privilege. Am I right, @emgoldstein?
> They don't have the technology/infrastructure to perform machine learning techniques that google employs. So they will say 'we think it's a feature that none of our services interoperate.'

You mean the machine learning techniques Google developed to better market people things?

This is like saying, Sweden doesn't have nuclear capability so it's opportunistic for them to claim they are peaceful. Only states that pour resources into building nuclear weapons can have a legitimate claim to being peaceful.

Look at Apple's approach to privacy for Maps, which uses randomized identifiers and trip segmentation so that Apple cannot reconstruct your trip. Or iMessage, which uses full end-to-end encryption. That's not Apple failing to catch up, that's Apple going out of their way to protect your privacy.
