A bit late but can you tell me how exactly walking patterns change when you are about to have heart attack? I think it is all meaningless without a described mechanism that can be tested in a scientific way. Big data analyses are nice to aid in hypothesis generation but until a testable mechanism behind the observation is described, to me the "mechanism" is just as likely to be over fitting as real. The FDA also wants mechanistic explanations before approving applications.

When looking at enough parameters, there are always parameter subsets that nicely match the phenomenon you are looking for. Whether that is a heart attack or a running nose.

Nice!

Way back in the day, I worked in an x-ray diffraction lab. It was my job to collect diffraction data. After aligning a crystal in the goniometer, I would measure diffracted energy on a spherical grid, by manually moving the detector around, and recording data on paper. We worked "hot", because occulting the primary beam took too long. There was a beam trap, of course. And not much got diffracted. But you had to stay conscious of the primary beam's path.
What is funny is how little attention it got back in 2002.

"according to medieval writers and other accounts"

I don't see mentioned anywhere in the page that taking accounts written in middle ages is going to incur serious bias and how author corrected for it.

not many were able to write and chances are if you were one of those you had a lifestyle that involved far less plowing.

anyway, same sources different conclusions https://medievalisterrant.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/cats-as-p...

witchcraft at that time was the terrorist of modern ages, anyone could be it, and dog were counted as familiar as much as cats. if you lived closed to a city, it was a dangerous proposition, but then even floating on water was a 'proof' - sure you didn't want to be caught in the fisher nets and burned at a stake, but I don't see much of the rural population going off without cats - that is, if they wanted to survive winters.

sadly it seems there are very few studies based on more than writing (i.e. bones - https://www.academia.edu/1061079/LUFF_R._M._MORENO-GARC%C3%8... )

bottom line: there is quite a disconnect between what they were writing and what they were doing.

Is this assumption true of all mobile network providers? If yes, wouldn't the network provider notice the huge increase in UDP traffic from your phone and start blocking it?

"How it works

By default mobile provider blocks any packet but UDP packet, unless you pay for the service. My method consists in sending TCP/UDP/ICMP frames as payload of an UDP packet to a known host (your server). Your server reinjects these frames to Internet."

I was just gilded this afternoon, and was able to confirm for the first time that new comment highlighting is not particularly hard for RES to pull off, it just doesn't do it for political reasons.

In some ways embedded is easier, in others much harder. Doing it all on your own is hard, but if you have a good team backing you I think it is actually easier than trying to write a large desktop app in native.

No OS to get in your way. No decades of legacy APIs to clog things up. Because the entire world is understandable, no need to be concerned about someone else's thread ruining your day.

All your I/O channels are well measured and have know latency and throughput. If you are lucky enough enough to work with SRAM, then you even get a nice constant access speed to memory.

Interrupt routines are a fancy way to say "callback" and Direct Memory Access is a nice way to say "memcopy without CPU overhead".

That said, the initial getting up and running part is hard, that is why lots of pre-existing systems with their own little runtime exist.
"You can't easily auto-tween a 3D rotation of a 2D character, for example."

You're looking too closely at the exponential curve. At such a small scale (individual decades) it appears to be almost linear - very little difference. Only if you step back you will see the acceleration.

And no, the big innovations of the last decade are not the smartphone and Uber. Those things are fads, which will be forgotten in 20 years, just like we forgot all about audio tapes, and photo printing shops.
In my opinion, the real advances of 2005-2015 are the new gene manipulation techniques, brain signal decoding, and deep learning.

Why Intel Added Cache Allocation Technology
That push started quite a while ago. And there is a good chance that it started even before the news broke in the media.
This kinda miss the big issue with identity. All this does prove is that at some point in time, the entity controlling the private key for a given address, was in possesion of that picture. That's it. I may post a picture of my coworker, that was carefully manipulated to seem like he was holding a piece of paper.

If you want true proof that a certain identity belongs to someone, you either have to meet with them physically and get the key, or trust a 3rd part to have done it for you. So far, everything else have fallen short, and this is not an exception.
SDN is a pretty average name for what it is. It's being able to write the features of your equipment and thus network, yourself, tailored for you. No dependency on vendors aside from complying with OpenFlow standards, for example.
"Such people will also be barred from serving in certain high-status and influential positions, like government official, reporter, CEO, statistician, and similar."

For all practical purposes, I don't think this would be so different from what we already have in the West for people like CEOs, government officials, reporters etc. These people seem to be kicked out as soon as they do something politically incorrect. They don't seem to have much freedom. For example, the CEO of Mozilla who gave like 1000 dollars to some anti-gay cause like 10 years ago, or the CEO of BP who hired gay escorts or John Derbyshire who wrote something unflattering about blacks.

Ok, it's not the government doing it in the West, but the majority mob. But does it really matter whether it's some elitist government or the majority in a democracy doing it?
There's a story about Spain.

Spain used to be in the same timezone as the UK. It made sense, as the Greenwich Meridian crosses the east of the Iberian Peninsula. But in 1942, the fascist dictator Franco decided to use the same timezone as the Nazi Germany and adopted the continental timezone (GMT+1).

The fun part of the story is that, as the Sun didn't actually move, the people kept doing their life at the same moments as before. That's why nowadays in Spain is usual to have lunch at 14 and dinner at 22. Specially in the West.

some basic suggestions from a quick visit:

- maybe make the menu button animate/blink or something to catch the eye when the page loads, so people know they don't need to wait for the text typing to finish.

- personal preference, but I'd try a horizontal line to separate the menu and content area (1px green the width of the page might look good? something like: http://i.imgur.com/FmBR5fA.png )

- if you have the option of closing / collapsing the menu, why not pin it to the top of the screen? Hidden, you'd just have an icon in the top right which _shouldn't_ really overlap with anything.

- try to adjust the box model of your buttons so they don't dance when you mouseover and add/remove the borders.

- rather than the unicode menu icon, you could use something like https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/

- double check your menu while resizing the window, you get some overlap of the buttons.

Let me know if you need a hand with any of the above. Happy hacking :)

If you think Atom is a better window manager than whatever window manager you're running Atom under, why not just switch to a different window manager?
I used to use Trello + Burndown for Trello + Scrum for Trello prior to this. This looks better. It will have to be very fast loading and should have burndown & scrum like features before I can convince my team to switch, but thumbs up for the great job!

I will give it a shot :)

Kudos!

Edit — Tried it out! is awesome! A few minor things though – It's a little too similar to Trello for me to bother switching, but looks way better (subjective I know, but works well for me!)

Browser/version/OS?

Thanks!
My apologies, I was mistaken. I had in mind apps like iMovie since, like Game Center, it's an app that Apple installs by default.

On 10.11, there are many apps that are not deleteable, but all of them seem to be under a gig (unless I'm missing something because I had, long ago, deleted an app and the OS update didn't restore it).

These include: Game Center, iBooks, Safari, iTunes, Photos, Contacts, Maps, Automator, Font Book, Dictionary, Notes, FaceTime, Chess, Reminders, Photo Booth, and perhaps a few other small-ish apps. These are less than 1 gig. I don't know why Apple did not choose to simply make whatever is so vital in the app bundle a system framework instead.

It's not a big deal to me if these small apps are non-deleteable. I assumed—incorrectly—that the big ones (iMovie, Garage Band, etc.) were non-deleteable as well.
You're right! 2.4 was out when I wrote that, so I could/should have used dequeue. But I wanted to use things that I thought readers would be familiar with, and timing wasn't a big issue.
> Are we talking about classic incinerators (simply burn stuff) or plasma arc (gasification)incinerators?

In 2015 "incinerator" means classic burners. Plasma gasification is practically unused: there are less that 10 plasma gasification facilities in the world.

Good summary. If I were in charge, I wouldn't even have a notion of unconditional probability -- everything is conditional on something.
According to this [1] nature article, homing pigeons have an innate sense of where 'home' is and can use the Earth's magnetic field to point themselves in the right direction, thanks to iron in their beaks. They don't need to 'learn' the path, like some migratory birds - they have a built in GPS. Which is kind of neat, when you think about it.

> Unfortunately you lose MSAA with the stencil buffer approach.

I don't think that's the case. Depth and stencil buffers are multisampled too.

This makes e.g. stencil shadow volumes look really good on new hardware. The edges are sharp but there's no pixelation artifacts.

Additionally, there's a new GL extension in Nvidia Maxwell GM204, which allows using more stencil samples to get prettier filled paths or shadow volumes: https://developer.nvidia.com/sites/default/files/akamai/open...

I had to Google MAM to clarify what it meant, and then I realized this was what I was wondering about the other day, puzzling over how BYOD isn't a massive security nightmare.

I must admit, I'm very fascinated with application management would actually be executed, from an academic / computer science angle.

I can also completely understand patenting from a business perspective, but I'm also curious as to what things have actually been (publicly) patented.

How is MAM different from MDM?
I meant with regards to censorship.
Yes, but surprisingly hard to find a good citation! Best I can do is note where I found out about it, or at least what inspired this project...

Except almost everyone is providing SDKs that do exactly that. Should I provide links?
This has been around for many years now, but it seems that there are hardly any implementations. I extended one of my projects back then with RemoteStorage support to allow users to upload files to their preferred storage site (rather than my limited server), but there were only 1.5 public sites where people could upload stuff.

Originally, ownCloud had a plugin for RemoteStorage support, but none of the users colud make it work for their ownCloud instances. It was a rather frustrating time. The project still offers a RemoteStorage connection, but I expect this feature to bit-rot away eventually.

Pity.

> And at 750, you get a similar fast track to a coveted Schengen visa.

It's a visa to Luxembourg according to the link, so Luxembourg needs to be the main place to stay. Also not really strange that they will take a credit score. Usually (when applying to a German visa as someone from mainland China) you need to show that you have a steady income and need to provide bank account statements that show that you have enough money to sustain yourself.

It also criticizes that other people have an influence over the credit score. This is done because there's not enough data and regularly happens in other countries (e.g. taking into account where you live).

That it will be used for political control is certainly a valid fear, but it doesn't seem to be reality yet like claimed in the article.

Hmm, China and Russia are not what most people would consider US allies and Russia has roughly the same number as the US (~46% of world's stockpile) and the US has opposed proliferation to other allies I would question your reasoning to the 'unstated implication'.
I always find it interesting how people talk about the past, like everything has changed since then.

After I went to a theater play of victorian times, everyone was shocked about the fact that a man and a woman couldn't be in one room when no one else was there if they weren't married.

But a few weeks later I overheard a call of a girl sitting next to me in a train station, where she told the caller that she "didn't let her male friend drive her home from the party, last night. because no one else was driving with them and she didn't want the people to get a wrong picture so she called a taxi"

I found this an interesting read too. especially the cuckold stuff. Even today it's hard for a man to let the women take charge, because society is harassing him if he does.
If I read it correctly, this is how a file token is generated, which is supposed to be secure:

file.id = md5(file.name + (Math.random() * 1000));

First of all please do not use MD5 for anything anymore, it has known collisions. But you shouldn't also use any hash functions here at all: just generate a long enough random token. Math.random is not a secure PRNG, use crypto.randomBytes in Node or window.crypto.getRandomValues in browsers.

PS And multiplication by 1000... is it just for fun?
If you want a self-hosted Trello clone, check out Wekan (http://wekan.io/).

I've recently installed Kanboard (http://kanboard.net) on the smallest DI instance and it works a treat. Kanban board, task list, calendar view, Gantt chart, it has a view for everyone. Simple enough for non-technical team members, yet enough features to effectively manage development projects.

It's not perfect, there are a few small bugs, but it seems to be actively developed and in general I can recommend the product thus far. Spend an hour tweaking the CSS to taste, and it's a very nice tool.
I would be more tempted to try this if there was a demo board that could be viewed and interacted with without having to sign up. I am wary of giving my email address before I can even see a basic example working.
Nice article. Thanks. Does proxying icecast streams with NGINX work when the protocol is not HTTP but ICY?
Another issue that is usually the first objection is that receiving a thousand highly radioactive rocks at very high velocity is a very efficient way for us humans to die in large numbers. Just one radioactive meteor would cause a lot of damage and be very difficult to seal off, but a thousand?
True, but if you prematurely divide your services up based upon what you think their performance requirements might be you will be wrong. That's premature optimization, which is, as we all know, the root of all evil.

If you've loosely coupled your services until the point where it becomes obvious that two parts of the code have markedly different performance requirements and then you decide to split them into two separate services then yes, that could work, provided you understand the trade off you're making.

I don't think that's typically what people mean by 'microservices' however.

There's a good chance it'll still be wasted effort, too. Hardware is cheap. Developers are not. That applies to large businesses and small.
It definitely won't be true for all mobile operators. I'd be a bit surprised if it's even true of the original one at this time. The software seems to be from two years ago, and this would have been a stunningly generous policy by the standards of that time period -- the description says that they were only blocking TCP port 80! (Already 10 years ago the main hole open in captive terminals was properly formatted DNS requests/responses, so you'll find a lot of ip-over-dns tunneling projects from around that time).
I don't want a self hosted trello. I really like trello. I'm trying to understand how this is different to trello.
Read that quote again. "Although the custom [...] frequently resulted in prosecution..."

It was illegal. I don't think, before the modern era, the law applied very well to the peasantry. It makes me wonder if the current system we aspire to, one law for everyone in the same country, really makes sense. There's something to be said for the rich ordering their society their way, and the poor ordering their society their way.
Moore's law is more of an implementation detail than anything else. Nobody really cares about transistors. What we all care about is computational density, computational efficiency, and exponential progress. Thus the interesting metrics are something like flops/m^3 and flops/Watt. The cool thing about Moore's law is that by just shrinking transistors we would get both smaller and more energy efficient chips.

I think that economical forces will continue to drive progress, and probably exponential progress like we've enjoyed in the past, for at least another decade. Probably several.

The way this is going to happen is through a paradigm shift. To the layman this seems weird, but to anyone in the business this should be expected. We've already been through quite a few. The first computing devices were mechanical, then they were based on electrical relays, then came the vacuum tubes and finally we entered the era of the transistor. We can argue about what the next paradigm will be, but I have no doubt there will be one. And soon.
