A: They're too big. Because physiology and fashion.

Women have smaller wrists on average. Women's watch fashion demands smaller watches. Men's watch fashion often includes huge or very large watches. Technology limits the minimum size of the technology, therefore it better aligns with men's fashion and their (on average) bigger wrists.... for now.
a video would be cool. nobody is going to bother to get the code and build it, especially in the state its in.

i'm not really sure what this proves beyond the power of the hardware. there are no clever tricks here that i can see beyond 'keeping it simple' but even then... its not so simple as it could be either.
That's what Go does. The reference of the language is [an actual document](https://golang.org/ref/spec), not a reference implementation. There are two compilers (gc and gccgo), and this way, no edge-case of an implementation can make its way into programmers' habits, something that tends to happen a lot with JavaScript.
Yes, many projects do not, but some very popular ones do: Google Go requires one. Apache requires one. Some FSF projects require one.

I could go on, but the point is that CLAs exist for good reasons. There may be another, different way to accomplish the same goals, but since it isn't my pocketbook funding the project, I don't feel like I have a right to complain.

As such, just because a project has a CLA doesn't mean there's anything nefarious or inhibiting going on.
Quebec != Ontario

Quebec is very protective of it's "French" culture.
I'm wondering if it's possible people didn't know this. But I guess there could be a lot people (mostly city dwellers?) that have never planted a small vegetable garden and never seen where their food comes from.
For learning, I would pick Haskell.

For getting work done - Elixir.

I won't even look at Clojure, since I'm alergic to Java.
I would say it's reasonably fair to call Qt's moc system "odd". Not the worst thing in the world. But you'd probably be interested to know that there are some working on experimental fork of Qt replacing the moc and a few other necessary-oddities with C++11 constructs http://www.copperspice.com/
While I get that sometimes journalism is more about a noble cause than profit, it seems like losing money is a source of pride for the people at The New Republic:

“The New Republic has been a money-losing proposition for 100 years,” said Jacob Weisberg, who once worked for the magazine, and is now the chairman of the Slate Group. “The idea that anyone is going to turn it into a business now, when it has never been harder, is implausible.”

Also this:

Mr. Chait [a contributing editor] said that, to him, The New Republic was fundamentally not a business proposition. “A business is something that is trying to make money,” he said.

Did Chris Hughes do his homework to understand the culture before he bought it?
My preferred way of doing this is by subtracting instead of adding:

16*200=3200
16*20=320
16*180=3200-320=2880
It's just web developers who lived in a world where front-end layout was supposed to be hard and who distill complexity out of four or five trivial CSS properties to convince themselves that all of the hours they lost aligning divs with floats or bootstrap weren't pointless, and that the new way must be as complicated.
I also have my own algorithm for computing the day of the week, and I think that you're doing it the hard way. Of course, if it works for you, no problem.

My technique:

day_of_week = (year_day(Y) + month_day[M] + D - leapyear(Y,M)) mod 7

year_day(Y) = let Y' = Y-1900 (or Y-1984) in Y' + trunc(Y' / 4)

month_day[] = { 0, 3, 3, 6, 1, 4, 6, 2, 5, 0, 3, 5 }

leapyear(Y,M) = 1 if M is Jan or Feb in a leap year, else 0

The year_day() is a constant for any year; in 2016, it's 5. The month_day[] table is easy to memorize in an inverted form that groups all the months that start on the same of the week in non-leap years:

0: Oct, Jan

1: May

2: Aug

3: Feb, Mar, Nov

4: Jun

5: Sep, Dec

6: Jul, Apr

And that's it. Today (13 Jan 2016) is 5 + 0 + 13 - 1, or 17 which is 3 mod 7, or Wed.

(EDITED to fix line spacing issues.)
Quite a few bioes only check to see if the boot signature is there, and don't bother validating the partition table, so effectively you can use those bytes if you don't care about compatibility.

Wikipedia has a good article to dust the memory off: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record

If you want to see a completely different approach to dynamic layout that makes more sense, check out the constraint system in the 2D sketch system of Autodesk Inventor. It's all visual, controlled through a GUI; you select two points or two lines or a point and line and apply constraints such as "coincident" or "perpendicular" or "parallel" or "tangent". You can also give things explicit dimensions, which may be computed from other dimensions. The GUI stops you if you try to insert incompatible constraints. You can put in text, too, so you can actually use it as a layout engine. There's no notion of "line break", though; it won't change the number of things in a row if you change the outer bounding width.

This is much more comfortable for designers than trying to do it through a set of declarations with no consistency checking. A constraint engine really is the right tool for the job. It also maps well to a GUI, which CSS does not.

The constraint system isn't limited to horizontal and vertical. You can have circles, arcs, and even splines. Graphic designers would love to have such capabilities in web design.

Yeah. As much as I absolutely love C++11, and use its features constantly, if I had to make the hard call: "do I get lambdas, or do I get some extern ABI marker I can use to opt-in to a non-fragile ABI, with field and vtable offsets linked as symbols and return types mangled into function names", I would have made the (incredibly depressing) choice for the latter, as it makes C++ suddenly able to be used in ways that are otherwise insane to contemplate.

Not an expert but since they didn't plan on actually booting an OS, perhaps they didn't need the partition table so those 64 bytes could go toward more instructions for solitaire.
Chakra was originally written for Internet Explorer 9. "Linux compatibility" was not exactly a huge priority at Microsoft at the time.
Also, a big problem with public universities is that because they are so big and inefficient with money, and that they do not have enough money to begin with, to make up for it they accept foreigners who (with their parents factory money) are easily willing to pay DOUBLE the regular out of state tuition to have their children go to a good American school. On top of that, these children then fly back and don't continue to the country that established these schools in the first place - thus sapping our overall academic levels.

That's what a canary is for, where you only send it a percentage of traffic.

That sounds better - you may want to consider updating the Roadmap document to clarify this.
Many license allows that without a CLA. The CLA allows the company to change the license of the code to whatever they want. Which is usually inhibited by license compatibility...
That just seems broken?

If `f` is Function<T, S> then given `T src`, like we have, then f.apply(src) has type S. But Extension.this.apply is applied to values of S even though T is the thing qualified as an Extension.

Actually, I'm just entirely not sure I know how to read Java type signatures.

"Commercial license" is the wrong term. You (and they) should write "proprietary". You are allowed to use free software for commercial purposes.

The copyleft licenses simply require you to keep your modifications also free. Many commercial business models aren't possible with copyleft licenses, though.

Absolutely astonishing.

It takes a unique background and rare talent to see deep and clearly and act decisively against all consensus wisdom.

To do so in the prime of life, against the murmured criticism of one's peers, requires absolute faith in self which could only be a huge advantage in nearly _all_ endeavors, personal as well as public.

Mental math is extremely useful when making financial decisions, especially because often you have to think on your feet to decide against an impulse buy and salesmen are actively trying to confuse you. That said schools have never done a good job of teaching finance basics, such as rules of thumb for calculating compound interest, or even what a reasonable interest rate is (hint: inflation is usually 2-3%, while the stock market usually grows at 6-7%).
Why design the engine first released in 2011 under a completely closed culture to be portable for its eventual open-source release five years later? I understand the appeal of the thoughts behind what you said, but you shouldn't burn time on things you don't foresee being an issue.

Nice! It's a bit unfortunate that OSX doesn't support OpenGL 4.3 which is needed for this project. It currently only supports OpenGl 4.1.
I'm currently toying around with a similiar project where I would have enjoyed to try out compute shaders.
Is residential water usage really a large problem? I assume that municipalities have a decent ability to reclaim and reuse much of the water flushed down the drain and toilet.

I know at least for California residential water use makes up just 15%[0]. I know every little bit helps, but a toilet is an incredibly simple invention and it would be a shame to replace it with something so much more complicated.

> and why shit pilots crash them whenever anything doesn't go exactly like a simulator textbook.

Often it according to a simulator textbook but pilots haven't studied the text book enough so they end up being confused what mode the autopilot is on, override and crash the plane.

I think FAA even calls that as such -- "mode confusion".

Of course it could be the problem of user interface or warning and error reporting is not clear and explicit (alarm is blaring so they ... just ignore it because it has so many false positives).
I'm solving "2^... = 256" and it gives NaN. It works when the right hand side is smaller than 200 but fails when the right side is larger than 242.

Most people who are commuting probably don't look at Google Maps every day to figure out how to get home. They're taking the bike lanes because they're safer.
IANAL but AFAIK as long as they are the sole owner and contributor or has agreements in place with everyone the GPL doesn't protect us against going closed in future releases.

What it does secure is you right to fork the last open source version. Then again, so does BSD, MIT and ASL - and under better terms for everyone else.

Yes, you are right, it is more like a proof of concept for myself. And as it seems, there are people (similar thread on Reddit), for whom it might help.

Just wanted to share, as there were not too many working projects out there with compute shaders. And it would have helped me :)
When I said "to learn" I didn't mean just as an academic support. I actually meant "which one would you learn to add a great tool to your developer toolbox". Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it :)
Tell this to my IT department that gave me a Macmini with SSD and not only insists on antivirus but also on File Vault. It takes a long time to boot and Xcode compiles are horribly slow. (Eventually I'll convince them, it just hasn't been worth it to push too hard yet since 99% of my time is spent in VS on the Windows box sitting next to it.)

(FWIW, I prefer VS to Xcode, despite preferring Mac to Windows. IntelliSense and editor tabs seem nicer to use than Xcode's UI, and Xcode with a Swift project only a little bigger than a toy demo hits periodic freezes. On my home iMac which does have an SSD.)

While this is true, only open source makes choice and privacy even possible.

They are obviously trying to reinvent themselves partly in the image of Google, whose motto "Don't be evil" also sounds very hollow nowadays.

But I shudder when I think of a world where Google is built upon closed software.

[To clarify: I know that Google does not open most of their software. However, with their reliance on open source software they were a big driver for the legitimacy of the movement]
I can’t comment on the VC or investor side, but as a solopreneur I wouldn’t mind trying to tackle something in here since I live with depression.

However I don’t think we’re quite at that point yet where just a couple of kids with technology chops can tackle this adequately. Seems a lot of finesse, research and wealth of knowledge in this area is needed before a critical mass of startups can tackle this in the same fervor that you see in the sharing economy or even health and fitness trackers.
I thought that had less to do with the choice of license and more to do with the fact that Apple just bundles the zipped source and publishes it every year or so (in contrast to Swift where you can see every commit made since the beginning of the project).
One of my co-workers introduced me to Dragonbox the other day. It purports to teach algebra through a game. (There are two versions; one for 5 year olds and one for 13 year olds.)

The left and the right sides of the field are the sides of the equation. The "dragon box" is x, and you are trying to isolate it on one side. Galaxy images are 0, and can be removed at any time by tapping. Multiplication by 1 can similarly be done. Dice are used to represent numbers and can be added/subtracted, factored, divided/multiplied; other critters are used to represent other constants (a, b, c) and have the same done.

If you get far enough along, they substitute an 'x' icon for the dragon box, and letters for the constants.

However, the game doesn't explain why certain operations are allowed or disallowed -- each of the algebraic rules introduced is described as a "new magic power".

This makes sense from the perspective of "spending energy" vs "collecting energy" as probably coded in our systems.
Assume in winter when it's more difficult to harvest food you want to keep your energy spending low and in summer when there is more food you can afford to spend more because you can spend more.
Some rationale behind this statement could come from example from Gwern and how the immunologic system handles a cold:

"For example, in winter, we are cautious about deploying our immune resources. That’s why a cold lasts much longer in winter than it does in summer. It’s not because we’re cold, it’s because our bodies, based on deep evolutionary history reckon that it’s not so safe to use our immune resources in winter, as it would be in summer. There’s experimental confirmation of this in animals. Suppose a hamster is injected with bacteria which makes it sick - but in one case the hamster is on an artificial day/night cycle that suggests it’s summer; in the other case it’s on a cycle that suggests it’s winter. If the hamster is tricked into thinking it’s summer, it throws everything it has got against the infection and recovers completely. If it thinks it’s winter then it just mounts a holding operation, as if it’s waiting until it knows it’s safe to mount a full-scale response"

I like Chicken Scheme's take on this. Since Chicken's compiler always generates C code, which is then compiled by GCC (or Clang), one just releases both the source and the compiled scheme files(which are C sources).

Then, it's just "make" as usual.

I've even used this strategy to run a scheme program on iOS, trivially. You just have to ask it to stop at the C code generation and not invoke the C compiler. You then insert both chicken's C code and your program's in the xcode project, and call libchicken's initialization code from Objective-C. And then compile the whole blob with clang.

EDIT: :%s/compiled C/compiled scheme/g
No, and it doesn't even handle bitmap blobs yet.

The other big missing parts are clipping and emf+ records as a whole.

However, I am not sure it's a good idea to vectorize a bitmap.

It would also make sense in developed countries: shitting in water makes it much more complicated to treat afterwards, and greatly increases the ecological footprint of that processing. Moreover, it makes failures to properly treat much more dangerous (human feces are where you most easily find pathogens specialised in human invasion, besides human cadavers).

Feces compost just fine in a dry environment, if you mix it with enough carbon (dried plants or sawdust). No treatment, except letting it decompose over a couple of years, and very little smell if the nitrate/carbon/humidity balance is respected.

Of course, water companies wouldn't be thrilled by such a simplification, and people like the illusion that their poo-poo just magically disappears when they press a button.
One way to be able to discuss depression and stress is objectively like in this video animation of how selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors work.[1] Prozac, described in this video, is used to treat both panic attacks and depression. Constant stress from triggers like a boss who insistently attacks and berates or from endless hours working on a project can deplete available serotonin which the body produces at a certain rate. Stress untreated can also in people with genetic preposition trigger more severe diseases like bipolar borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia. There are other chemical systems at play such as dopamine and epinephrine[2]. Another way to deplete available stores of serotonin is using MDMA (ecstasy) which releases all the stored serotonin in the brain at once, however, that chemical requires about three days without stress triggers to rebuild during which time a user will likely experience panic attacks which users often counter with SSRI or THC.

We can mitigate these problems with drugs or by natural means such as learning how thought patterns effect chemical states of the mind, having a low stress job, work in a high stress job without giving a shit -- care without caring, eating healthy balanced foods, and most important daily exercise.

A founder needs to realize that stressors are important motivators for productivity but they effect chemical balances in the body which hasn't evolved much in the last 40,000 years. Different employees will have different coping mechanisms and different types of chemical balances. When the chemical balances start to become off kilter there are several signs verbal and physical such as irritability and heavy shallow breathing. It helps to have an intuitive sense of these and make sure an employee doesn't cross a threshold or in the case an employee does it is a worthwhile investment to help.

Several reasons, in descending order of importance:

a) I don't have anywhere to store a bike in my apartment. My work has a bike room, but it's less convenient to use than the Citibike station right on the street. My roommate used to keep her bike locked up on the street at our apartment, and it got stolen only a few months after she'd gotten it.

b) Even if I owned my own bike, I might still have Citibike anyway, because there are trips that I make (usually at night) where I use Citibike to go meet up with people somewhere, and then we continue traveling using other modes of transit, such as cab or subway. Being able to leave a Citibike behind is really nice.

c) Maintenance. I don't have to worry about it at all beyond pressing a button when returning a Citibike that's misbehaving. There's a non-trivial amount of maintenance involved in keeping a commuter bike running (especially one that's ridden in rain and snow), and I just don't have to worry about it at all.
