I've played both and while the expansions do make the game better it's still nowhere close to as good as Agricola in the interesting decisions department. There's still way too many trivial things for you to manage and way too few situations where you have to stop and think for several minutes before proceeding.

Hermann Park is within walking distance of my home in Houston. Living by such an amazing space has done wonders for my mood, and my opinion of Houston. The park is wonderfully anachronistic.

It seems plucked straight out of some european city, or at least the east coast of the US. I think that owes a lot to it using the original plans from the 1910s. Growing up in Texas, most of the parks you see are basically undeveloped land, set aside for public use. A playground might be the only feature of some parks. This is completely different.

Where I live in Houston, I can ride light rail to downtown or a baseball game. I can walk to a wonderful park. The museums are stellar (if you haven't heard of the Menil collection, please look it up). I rarely have to even get on a highway, except when I'm heading out of town. The climate is miserable in the summer, thanks largely to the humidity of being a city built on top of what once must have been swamp land. However, the rest of the year is moderate.

I share this because before moving to Houston I would not have assumed any of these things.

Fair enough. I used to keep up with jailbreaks way back before I started buying unlocked phones and had read about difficult-to-crack OS versions (and the as-of-yet unjailbreakable 3rd generation Apple TV), but I wasn't aware that it was still this pervasive.

>In the spring of 2015, iAd plans to provide developers with unique audience insights about the users in your segments, viewable in iAd Workbench—including their distribution by gender, age, geography, and iTunes Preferences. With audience insights, app developers can find new users with similar characteristics to their existing customers, and tailor messages for retargeting campaign

Did they abandoned this or not? Seems contrary to their current "we aren't using your data" mantra
My wording was a bit ambiguous. You interpreted it to mean the decisions themselves are more interesting in Agricola. That is definitely true, but I also meant that there are more of them despite a much shorter play time and far fewer opportunities for them. One is a question of overall yield while the other is a question of efficiency; I believe Agricola wins on both counts.
Does work less well if you do not think in English.
Right. And if you're measuring miles per gallon, you're interested in energy consumed per mile traveled, not energy consumed per second. And aerodynamic drag tells you energy consumed per mile traveled thanks to the relationship that energy is force times distance.
I think this is cribbed from a Popular Science article from November 1956, available at: https://books.google.com/books?id=8CkDAAAAMBAJ&pg=RA1-PA173&... . More strongly, I suspect plagiarism.

The presentation is in almost identical order as the PopSci article, and all of the facts in this mashable.com essay are a subset of those in PopSci, including the quote from "Dr. Grace Murray Hopper". A modern author who knew the topic is more likely, I think, to use "Rear Admiral Grace M. Hopper". The PopSci article also covers many other details - you should read it if this article interests you.

That quote, by the way, comes from page 1 of her 1955 book "Automatic Coding for Digital Computers", available at http://www.textfiles.com/bitsavers/pdf/univac/HopperAutoCodi... . A search for that quote using DuckDuckGo and Google finds matches only from the book, the PopSci article, and this new essay. This is consistent with my belief that PopSci is the primary and sole information source for this new piece.

FWIW, I learned about the PopSci article because of a reference in the seminal book 'Punched Cards'. One of the chapters describes textual analysis, and cites several articles about the Univac work, at http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b3958636;view=1up;... .

This happened to my 4S as the battery aged, but that was during the iOS 8 era. One thing which made a huge difference was disabling background refresh. If you're not willing to go that far, use the battery menu to disable all but the most important apps. Otherwise, they tend to go things like keep the radio running, which is even worse with the 4S's 3G radio and correspondingly longer times to connect, and especially bad in areas of low signal (e.g. the building I work in).
Proactive Server Log Management Puts You in Front of Problems
I use Redmine at my current employer, and I really like it. Reminds me a lot of Trac, which I used two companies ago and loved.

By the way, at my last employer, we rapidly switched between a number of trackers. At first, we used Unfuddle for our proprietary projects and Assembla's custom Trac for our open-source projects. Well, theoretically at least; in practice, we did very little with Assembla as a bug tracker (which is a shame, because I love Trac). At some point, we switched to using OpenERP for everything. it was terrible. Then we switched to JIRA, and it was only slightly less terrible.
Promises and observables are related but operate differently, just as a single string relates to an array. Promises represent a single operation, there is nothing wrong with the abstraction itself.

As for the errors, I see what you mean. But at the same time this is an issue with trying to write async operations with sync constructs, something all "old" languages need to do. Async/await is a pattern that does that in languages that can't do it implicitly by requiring an explicit declaration. You don't need to write try/catch with async/await. You will get the exception propagated through the stack automatically.

I'd quibble with that. In most areas of law, you are not able to freely choose the venue. However patent law is not the only case where venue choice both is possible and popular.

For example a lawyer looking to file a class action lawsuit often factors the venue that they will wind up in into their choice of a lead plaintiff.

It depends on where you are - cellular quality is a huge factor if you don't have wifi or string 4G – and how much you use the phone. One really big factor is the way judiciously pruning your installed / background app list: take any non-savvy user's phone and you'll probably see significant usage by things they rarely use.

Head of Engineering
https://angel.co/mydiamond/jobs/88575-head-of-engineering

JOB DESCRIPTION

As the Head of Engineering Co-Founder you will have the opportunity to lead the technology strategy and development of our digital product. Working with a sales focused Co-Founder wearing past experience in the diamond industry, and another product-driven Co-Founder that has 10+ years of design experience working on digital products reaching millions of users, you will be collaborating with other focused entrepreneurs.

We are building a better way to shop for diamonds nearby through an online platform (web and mobile app) that lists local diamonds for viewing by appointment, leading to an offline purchase experience that is lacking for our target market that is forced to buy directly online with competing services.

The existing market for diamond purchasing relies on online purchase in which the consumer doesn't get to experience the diamond before buying, leading to a deal that isn't as good as presented; or, they are forced to shop store-to-store in person with little visibility into competitive pricing - a major reason they look online in the first place. However, we come in by creating friendly competition between local retailers, with the convenience of online shopping and the engagement of social sharing, including education of the consumer along the way.

We've already started generating interest with the launch of our early-access landing page:

There's already some competition in this space. Digi and Exosite are two examples I named. There's also Helium, co-founded by Shawn Fanning so they get a lot of press for a solution that (imo) isn't fully complete.

So what makes things more complicated is moving to the next step: two-way data. Let's say it's not a fridge now but an oven, loaded with data pushed down from the cloud by a chef at the restaurant's corporate HQ. Recipes. Holding times. Training videos. I'm not quite sure a major restaurant chain wants this data on a server out of their control. It's something I'm still trying to understand from my customers.

In some way, promoting the use of "await" actually reduces the chance of an exception floating away into the ether. The "thread" joins back, both on success and on failure. And because promise errors are like exceptions, it's probably not a great idea to signal commonly-occurring conditions through them (instead using sentinel values like nulls, etc); so there isn't a huge pressure to try-catch every single thing.

Also, there is fundamentally nothing wrong with a promise error that never gets handled. It's an "if a tree falls in the woods" kind of thing, no? I will concur that it's not exactly beginner-friendly, though.

Water pressure goes up pretty quickly with depth which means items that are completely water resistant at very shallow depths can quickly lose their water resistance.

Plus, any seals may not be statistically perfect and could degrade over time.

The reason why Apple hasn't marketed the claim is likely the one most people assume: They don't want to be responsible for warranty repairs for any water damage until they're confident about their process.
Cool, thanks!

My first job was writing JCL decks on an IBM ESA/390. We had several shelves of manuals for the thing. And people read them.
Given that you list "type inference" as the headline feature of Rust, I continue to think that you haven't actually taken a look at the language in the slightest. :P Guaranteed memory safety with neither the bloat of a garbage collector nor managed runtime is nothing to sneeze at, and is something that no other language (no, not Ada, or Oberon, or...) has ever done on an industrial scale (and only Cyclone has attempted it on a non-industrial scale).

People have simply been trained to plug in their phones frequently, and especially at night. They've further been trained to replace their phones after a couple of years, before the battery fully wears out. And to me it seems the typical smartphone user is compulsive about checking things. For everyone else whose behavior hasn't been formed around the ideal needs of a smartphone, a longer battery life would be nice, like the 4 weeks my feature phone gets.

I can see where you're coming from with that statement.

That might represent some people's attitudes on going into and coming out of something like GA; it doesn't represent mine. I tried to convey that in my original reply, but I might not have done as good a job as I had hoped.

That's not relevant at all to the iCloud "hack". It's a cloud service, the whole point is to store data online.

About the points you make on your post, once async/await is implemented in browsers, you will be able to await run() directly, causing the exception to be thrown in the console.

The fact that you call a method that returns a promise but don't check this promise may be a little confusing to someone new to the language, but it it's not a flaw in the design.

In c#, any attemp to call a method that returns tasks (promise) without an await or a .continueWith (.then) causes a compiler warning. It's just a matter of time for tooling in the browser to keep up.

Well it looks like you already solved that then.
It was the first interaction we (at Bloomberg) had with async/await as well. We really wanted to see it come to JS and as the spec was evolving it was clear that the path to getting there (if TC-39 ultimately agreed async/await was a desired thing) was going to be via generators. That is how we wound up getting involved with Igalia back in Feb 2013. I kicked off a multi-year project with Andy Wingo / Igalia to direct his mighty keyboard at generators and get them landed in v8. We weren't quite sure TC-39 would agree async/await was a good thing in the end, but it seems now all the pieces are finally coming together. It is satisfying to see the endgame within reach right now and I hope it is worth it once it starts to become more widely available! Companies -- help get spec features implemented! We essentially acted as the bank when it came to the generators work. You don't need to land the code yourself to help move the needle. Thank you Igalia for being awesome.
