Falling in love with someone does not require both people to share the emotion.

For example, person A can fall in love with person B, even if person B hates person A. In fact, person A might fall even deeper in love with person B if person A is a masochist.

Reminds me of buying a new battery for my Macbook a few months ago.

Me : I need a new battery for my Macbook.

Apple : Okay, but be sure to get a battery directly from Apple. Third-party batteries are no good!

Me : Fine, I wanna order an A1280 battery.

Apple : Oh, we don't sell those anymore. You'll have to get one somewhere else.﻿
TL;DR: If you have made a mistake, return back to the previous known working state, proceed from there.

It does not matter much which was the specific mistake, really: a bad choice of an abstraction or something else.

Good abstractions help immensely; programming is all about them. Let's not forget it, too.
In my experience there's little in that repo that's useful and/or doesn't overlap significantly, but it's incredibly comprehensive and worth keeping an eye on from time to time.
This looks like a fun experiment. Have you considered adding this as a Chrome plugin and make it "remember" what you drag? Also maybe implement some sort of "undo" mechanism as well?

Thanks for sharing.
I was following usage as it was in the thread, though I agree that amateur is being thrown around this thread where novice is the word implied.
I broadly agree with this, but draw a slightly different conclusion: that the imperative when growing a large code base is proper tooling/planning for dependency management. If good dependency management is cheap, programmers will use it, and even if some dependencies are volatile, side-effects can be bounded by the dependency graph.

Is it just me or is there very little technical detail, to the point of not even explaining the headline?
I don't pretend to know what the scenario would be where I'd actually use my guns. Be assured it's a nightmare scenario and not some dispute over land use rights.

A few lone nuts would have no chance against the government. But if the sentiments and fear spread to the point that entire towns were like-minded in their opposition, you'd have a guerrilla warfare situation like we saw with insurgents in Iraq. In that situation, the government's job becomes much more difficult, and assuming carpet bombing is off the table, small arms indeed can make an impact.
Interesting but is there any good way around it? Apple needs to ensure the touch id sensor is valid. I mean perhaps they could simply display just touch id and nothing else (sounds like it does that at first but if you restart the phone it'll essentially kill the entire thing).

Seems like at the very least Apple could provide better error messages so their customers could understand why it's happening.

Horizontal placement, dust, scratches vs brittleness, mechanics of moving load bearing by tiling vs continuous surface, cost of PV turn it into a joke. We'd be better off putting them above the roads than on the roads.

This looks like a really well thought out implementation that ought to fit a lot of use cases.

... interoperability ...

a lot has changed in the last months alone. there are several standards ready for IoT (ETSI M2M) [0], some are still being drafted (W3C Web of Things "WoT")[1].

Where I still see lot of room for improvement in standards is for totally radically new use-cases. Standardization guys are usually industry representatives from bigger companies who think about inter-op (and to a lesser extent use-cases). But many use-cases in IoT transcend or even threaten the business models of what the bigger players have built their power/dominance on (they prefer sustainability over disruption -- god I hate those buzzwords).

Therefore smaller innovators (individuals or garage start-ups) who have radical ideas such as building a decentralized business model (maybe using cryptocurrencies or blockchaining and not driven by harvesting user-data or advocate strong privacy) usually don't have the resources or time to put one of their staff into the slow-moving standardization bodies to make/defend their case.

Though the W3 is extremely open compared to others and even there are official members who vote behind closed doors, ... if enough contributors bring ideas in the open discussion groups, then these points too might get standardized.

The biggest problem though is standardizing security.

It is no coincidence that most IETF drafts especially older ones and official RFC's have under "Security" a note that says "to be done". Thinking ahead what might become a design problem later is hard and depends on how the standard later gets understood by the industry. But more important there aren't enough people who understand security in standards groups. That is not just a standards problem though and more of a disease of our industry. Just look at most web developers and have them explain how XSS/SQL-injection works ... or ask an Embedded engineer who is used to building non-connected appliances to think about remote exploitable buffer overflows after they connects the thing via a CoAP proxy to the WWW ... Yes you'd assume they know that in detail but reality is usually most have no idea - not because it's hard but because we are not incentivized by making it extra secure (security often is a useless feature unfortunately only indirectly affecting your financial bottom line (when sh1t hits the proverbial fan)).

I was being a bit facetious. My underlying point was that the network overhead on a microcomputer likely overwhelms a "Beowulf cluster" (to use a 1990s term) of them, so 10,000 microcomputers in practice won't be anywhere near 10,000x the performance of a single microcomputer.

What then is the goal of estimating the aggregate raw MFLOPs for the USSR?

As a side point, Apple doesn't allow a compiler or language interpreter on their iPhone, so unless they either had the app beforehand, or access to a development machine, they won't be able to anything with it. While if they had an Apple ][ they could start right away in Apple BASIC on the ROM.
I think there is also a prevailing sense of impotency and apathy. The capital is so far away from most people (geographically and culturally) that they don't feel like they can change things. American politics are very divided on party lines, and neither party addresses these issues.

I don't know what country the parent commentator is from, but US states are the size of most countries. At a local level there may be vigorous debate, but the only other comparable governments are the EU and maybe China. I imagine that the citizens of those governments also feel like they have very little voice?

(edit, the EU is not a country)
A department where I work (in a place that employs 1500 computer users) purchased an upgrade to Autocad one year that was a total mess. After a couple of weeks their tech support suggested we reimage the computer and start fresh. We stood our ground, stating that we weren't going to reimage a system for 5000 dollar software that can't upgrade from the previous version of itself. We were going to make them work for that money.
Yeah, a lot of people say that, but they also say if something goes wrong they'll sue. At least in the U.S. Sue happy here. Everyone wants that payout.

This revelation seems me to be a calculated political move. The government at the time was the leftist one led by Helle Thorning Schmidt (now the president of Save the Children). Current government is a right-wing one. Revealing this shows certain groups of traditional leftists how those traditional workers' parties have "betrayed" them (and this leftist government has been quite pragmatic; just recently the leftist opposition parties voting to approve the infamous sufficiency proposal -- i.e. the one where if you're carrying significant amounts of cash and try to seek political asylum you get to pay for it yourself first).

You can read that in what the foreign policy spokeperson of the party says: "It is to me unbelievable the that S-SF-R government of that time would prefer to join the hunt on Snowden and thus value the American government over the Danes' fundamental right to freedom" (see http://www.politiko.dk/nyheder/pind-fly-i-kastrup-skulle-tra...)
Is it as powerful as XView drag-n-drop under X-Windows?

http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/unix-haters/x-windows/disast...

The "drag-and-drop" metaphor tires to cover up the Unix file system, but so little of Unix is designed for the desktop metaphor that it's just one kludge on top of another with little holes and sharp edges popping up everywhere. Maybe the "sag-and-drop" metaphor is more appropriate for such ineffective and unreliable performance.

A shining example is Sun's Open Windows File Manager, which goes out of its way to display ore dump files as cute little red bomb icons. When you double-click on the bomb, it runs a text editor on the core dump. Harmless, but not very useful. But if you intuitively drag and drop the bomb on the DBX Debugger Tool, it does exactly what you'd expect if you were a terrorist: it ties the entire system up, as the core dump (including a huge unmapped gap of zeros) is pumped through the server and into the debugger text window, which inflates to the maximum capacity of swap space, then violently explodes, dumping an even bigger core file in place of your original one, filling up the entire file system, overwhelming the file server, and taking out the File Manager with shrapnel. (This bug has since been fixed.)

But that's not all: the File Manager puts even more power at your fingertips if you run it as root! When you drag and drop a directory onto itself, it beeps and prints "rename: invalid argument" at the bottom of the window, then instantly deletes the entire directory trwe without bothering to update the graphical directory browser.

I agree. Of course, eventually, the SMS will have to be backed up. But if you are interested in shallow relationship, you can make someone fall in love with you at least temporarily. I don't think it's a moral thing to do, but it's possible, and people do it.

The same user has been posting this multiple times a month, almost every month. Now that this entry got attention, I hope he stops, although his first post got very signification attention and it hasn't even been a year.
I read this article back in 2011... it always stayed with me. The idea that once you put your idea out there, it's no longer yours. That the vision is a shared thing. That pot of soup, is a brilliant concept.

Last year I was working for a startup, I was working with a man I greatly respected, and still do, and he's crazy smart. However he was also my boss, which meant that at the end of the day his opinions mattered just a bit more than mine. Which is fine for decisions, but sucked in a collaborative design.

There was this large project going on, we were building some tech that was going to be the core of our business, and together we had been thinking through this problem for a long time. Then one day I came to the office, and he said "I think i got it, now I want you to listen to the whole thing first before you add anything... cause what I have works". It turned out to be the first sentence in a really terrible period between us. All sense of collaboration was gone after that. It was him telling me how things were going to be, and anytime I tried to contribute (add or change something) I was being insubordinate. I started to get very emotional, which lead to him getting emotional... I passionately believed in a few core concepts, and sometimes i'd even get through to him, but then a few days later he'd forget my argument and get really angry at me. If he was just another senior engineer, I think things would have gone much better, but the fact that he was my boss made things crazy difficult. Conversations would end with "because I have 40 years of experience". I felt like I was no longer allowed to contribute if my idea was too drastically different.

My point is, when you're in a position of power having an actual equal design collaboration is hard to accomplish. Everyone is passionate about their own ideas. Reading this article made me respect Steve because if this is true, he accomplished a very difficult task.

> gcc seems to use a fixed size "pool" of mutexes attributed to a shared_ptr according to a hash of its pointee address, when dealing with atomic operations. In other words, no rocket-science for atomic shared pointers until now.

A side effect of the shared pool is that you might have two totally unrelated pointers share the same mutex, leading to surprising locking behaviors. Something to keep in mind.
Coming from Europe, I've noticed the jams here (Bay Area) are worse. Mostly, because there are way more cars. But I think it's also because people use less motor brake here (due to almost everyone driving automatic), and tend to stomp on the brakes, almost at the end, instead of slowing down earlier.
The SCA Retail Innovation Lab
PARTICIPATE IN THE SCA RETAIL INNOVATION LAB TO WIN €10,000 AND THE CHANCE TO SCALE YOUR PRODUCT ALONG WITH SCA IN DIFFERENT MARKETS AROUND THE WORLD

Presented by MiniBarLabs.

The SCA Retail Innovation Lab is a program to identify innovative retail, sales and loyalty solutions run by the Publicis Drugstore in London in partnership with MiniBarLabs. We are looking to reach out to and engage with start ups, change-makers and innovators to answer the following challenge:

THE CHALLENGE
SCA own several large tissue product brands like Plenty, Velvet, Cushelle, Tempo, Zewa, Lotus and Regio. A consistent challenge in these and in fact most FMCG product categories is how to drive loyalty to brands, over and above competitors.

For this reason SCA is interested in exploring how emerging retail tech innovation can produce a more enjoyable shopping experience and drive loyalty to their brands - ultimately to help their brands be purchased more often.

The proposed solution can work within the multifaceted retail environment: POS technology, frictionless purchase, self-checkout or queue skipping, loyalty schemes and subscriptions, e-commerce, in-store consumer engagement, IoT or digital campaigns to name but a few.

REGISTER YOUR INTEREST
In the first phase we ask that participants register their interest via hello [at] minibarlabs [dot] com providing a short bio and indicating which area of the challenge you’d like to address. The Drugstore team will then get in touch to discuss your solution.

Participants will also have the chance to attend a number of ideation sessions in March to develop their proposals. The programme will draw to a close with a pitching session 25th April 2016 at the Publicis Drugstore in London when the selected teams will present their ideas to a panel of judges including SCA representatives.
IT doesn't help that their cash cow (media and entertainment) has been rather anaemic, along with autocad and other mains stays starting to see real competition.
Yeah, I feel it too. At the same time I have my smartphone with me all the time... Somehow it gained my trust. My idea is for 3rd party device. I would not trust appliance makers with such things.

It is also a bit like uncanny valley. Because if we will at some point build general purpose robots they will have microphones and cameras. On path to this there is a point at which you must trust having microphone and cameras from less useful devices pointed at you. If not how can we have off-the-shelf general purpose robots at our disposal? It also creeps me out... How can we achieve this? Some can say we shouldn't.

Ah. It is "sufficient". Okey Dokey.

Edit: Oh, and never let science get in the way of politics!
My own observation is that programmers have a marked tendency to assume that because two methods have similar or identical behaviour, that this implies they should share an implementation. In large code bases, its common to find methods that have identical implementations 'by chance'. By which I mean that the commonality is a side effect of requirements that could readily change.

In my opinion, the best defence against this is good documentation: if a two methods have clearly documented behaviours, then even if their implementations have been fused, a subsequent programmer will have more context (and more confidence) reduplicating the code in response to further changes.

Font creators are more often concerned with aesthetics and aren't usually capable of doing the studies. Plus there is the whole "if it's old it must suck" mindset that pervades design in general.

I dont get why people only discuss Atom vs Sublime. Is programming world in such a need for A vs B discussions again? There are probably at least 5 text editors for coding worth checking out.
There is Brackets as well, which I am using with no problem since 6 months. The core program has not failed to do its job even once during this time. No crashes, stellar performance.
So if you annoyed by Atom and not sure about Sublime and its cost - try Brackets. I bet you you will love it.

That's just the start. How about, the worst possible case for transmitting power to where its needed - a huge line. A real solar plant can be put where demand is. Also, the angle of the cells is necessarily straight up. Works on the equator, sucks every other place on the planet. And so on.

This is an example of stupid thinking - "Roads are flat; solar cells are flat; lets combine them!" It ignores all the other requirements for a good (efficient, positive return) solar installation.
