You did mention Sanders, by using him as the example which you quoted. You used him as a basis for your model, except that you used a flawed interpretation of him:

> To elect someone who is known for his inability to compromise as a president...

Having "stubborn, unwavering commitment" to ones ideals does not mean that one is incapable of compromise. That's a separate axis that may be correlated, but is not the same as commitment to your ideals.

You're right, they mention somewhere you open up the trial and select "I'm a hobbyist" and it becomes free, thanks!
Thankfully I can understand what you said. Because I have recently flashed my S2 with custom Lollipop ROM.
Software-wise, ffmpeg is the more feature complete solution, obviously. But if you want a morally and ethically okay solution, with a cleaner codebase (but also NIH syndrome), libav might be the better solution.

The same people who use free software for moral and ethical reasons would also choose libav.
I suspect real-time machine translation is within reach if the speakers are trained to use a restricted subset of their native language. Moreover, I suspect that this approach could be both realistic and useful.

This restricted subset situation is de facto already the case; existing tools don't handle regional dialects and colloquialisms. I just tried "嘘じゃねいぞ" (uso ja nei zo!) in Google Translate and it came up with rubbish because it doesn't know that "nei" is a variant of "nai".

The kinds of restrictions I'm thinking of are deeper: avoidance of the full variety in sentence structure, and excessive complexity, like compounded of relative clauses. Not to mention language-dependent tricks like double meanings depending on puns, and generally all figures of speech that do not translate.

A restricted subset of your native language is something which you already understand, and learning to speak it is easier than a whole different language.

People doing business abroad would just study that for a few weeks as part of the workflow.

The dialect could become richer and thus less restricted as time goes on, making it easier to use. It could be customizable as well, to a particular speaker's idiosyncrasies. If a given speaker often uses some figure of speech out of habit, it could just be defined for that speaker, with a hand-crafted translation to various languages.
If anything, a testament to the importance of a good UI if you want your software to be used by people.
Hi, I agree we cant solve the supply and demand issue around renting a property but we can make it such more transparent, Personal and renter friendly. We are not an estate agent or an aggregation site. Movebubble is here to help and put renters first! we are building products that will enable to renters to have a much more efficient process to rent a property and help them waste less time during this stressful period.
Open Compute Project's Telco Project Could Transform the IoT, Driverless Cars
For a client project, I needed a way to render (one or more times) a fairly complex form with dynamic input fields.

I've been following React for about a year, but for a number of reasons (size and complexity of ecosystem) I never could get myself to use it deeply. There are smaller and simpler alternatives popping up, based on similar concepts. None of them quite fit my needs, so I wrote my own little module to do only what I wanted:

- encapsulated view components

- ability to build DOM declaratively within JS

- render new states efficiently, by patching only the difference

Another reason was that I needed a good excuse to learn and use ES6 for a real-world project.

Anyway, whoever gave me a star on the repo, thanks! :)
> diamonds actually serve a real need: they enable signalling of commitment

This statement is logically inconsistent with reality. If "signalling of commitment" was a real need, why would only one party need to provide this signal? And not just one party (random), but a specific party (predetermined) - the man.

You're right, however, that in the broader context, diamonds are an honest signal of affluence - by buying expensive, but useless stuff (conspicuous consumption) we send a strong signal about how much we can afford and how rich(-er) we are.
"Breakthrough" as in progress, not solution. It's a meaningful and useful step forward, but it does not directly suggest any design changes.
That's all well and good, and thanks for checking, but I wasn't referring to that site in the parent comment. The other site does have SSL enabled, but only recently and via Let's Encrypt. The issue is much longer standing than this.

So I'm afraid it's not quite as simple as you make out in this case.

In other news, I've just pinpointed the missing line in the recently changed nginx config for Linguaquote; the http://www block had it's redirect commented out. Still, for this site in particular Google Webmaster tools is set up for the https version where no errors have been reported and SSL Labs gave an A+ for the stapling, PFS, heartbleed etc. etc. efforts I went to. I don't think this redirect was having an adverse effect on ranking, but I don't expect this site to hit the front page just yet - much more content to add before aiming for that.
Google uses a highly sophisticated set of data and algorithms to determine what to present to who when they search for what from where. The algorithms are obviously secret, but any user paying a bit of attention will notice the results are clearly not generated from the text in the text field alone.
I second this. The light mode could also use a minor improvement in contrast. Otherwise awesome idea!

It's much easier and lower-overhead to call into C, Fortran, and soon even C++, from Julia than it is from Python. If there's a library in Python but not yet in Julia, it's really easy to call into Python from Julia.

What you can do in Julia that you can't do in Python is write high-performance library code in the high level language. If you need to write custom code that isn't just using stock numpy or scipy algorithms right out of the box, and needs to use custom data structures and user-defined types, Julia is a fantastic choice. You can try with Cython or Numba or PyPy, but you're either working with a limited subset of the language, or forgoing compatibility with most of the libraries that people use Python for.

Julia feels like writing Python but does not allow some of the semantically impossible-to-optimize behaviors that you can find in Python, and has a type system that you can use to your advantage in designing optimized data structures for the problem at hand.
We are clearly approaching the point where unassisted human intelligence is becoming insufficient to continue to master even specific domain expertise.
Can you name any criticism of Gradle? I've used it for years now (for Android development). It's steadily being improved, and is really good in my opinion.

If I go to another country and overstay my welcome, I end up in trouble. There's a 90 day visa limit in a few countries in Central America, for example. I once had to go to Mexico for a day to reset my visa. What a hassle; one painful bus ride! Everyone else can apply for a temporary visa then simply permanently stay?

The United States let in lots of immigrants. The world is full of people who want to come here. Shouldn't there be a more fair system?
I'd feel more excited about something that comes up with a way to completely get rid of agents. In my opinion, services for letting should look at establishing a more transparent and direct operating channel between the tenants and landlords. The paperwork is generally standard. There are deposit protection schemes to protect the tenant's deposit. Landlords can directly get in touch with agencies that do reference checks and property damage checks before and after tenancy. This information can be made available on the app/website for those interested. If an app makes it easy enough to do all this, even for the not so tech-savvy (these are the types of landlords I've come across through agents), this letting agency menace can be gotten rid of altogether. I always thought this was the point of using the internet for property letting. Of course, my opinion is biased from the point of view of someone who has not had such a good experience with letting agents.

I know openrent.co.uk is trying to head in that direction. Universities also have their own housing departments that put students in touch with prospective landlords who have registered with them at no cost at all to either party. Maybe employers/corporates could also start doing the same.

There's no reason Adobe should even touch the root directory "/" on the Mac,

There is no reason why an application should touch anything outside its own sandbox (unless requested by a user via a open/save dialog). Incidents like this show why developers should distribute their Mac applications sandboxed by default.

That's quite a claim, can you elaborate on that a bit? I remember reading some of the controversy but I don't remember the ffmpeg guys to be very bad.
Zenefits and Regulation
What a shocker. Allowing f(x,y) to find x.f(y) is nearly useless; and allowing x.f(y) to find f(x,y) is scrapped. Even though D can do the latter just fine.

I can already write all my class functions as f(x,y) functions, if I want my code to look like C.

The whole point of UFCS is to work around the obnoxious fact that classes are closed after their initial definitions(＊). Only the latter can help with that. So when I use a string library that has a reverse function, I can say string.reverse(), but when it then is missing a lowercase function, my only option is to create lowercase(string) myself. And now my usage of the string class is a mixture of global function versus member function calls. No consistency at all. And when I start trying to chain them, it turs into a complete disaster, eg:

split("\n", lowercase(string.reverse().rtrim("#"))).strip();
//vs
string.reverse().rtrim("#").lowercase().split("\n").strip();

And this is why library writers end up trying to pack the kitchen sink into their classes. Or you end up with things like std::string that, out of the box, are basically just glorified memcpy classes (no trim, no transform, no string replace, no tokenization, no parsing [eg string->int], etc etc.); and thus you end up with countless people making their own string classes anyway.

UFCS could have even allowed extending built-in types in extremely useful ways. I could have declared "BitRef int::bits(int lo, int hi)", and allowed for eg "int x; if(x.bit(7)) x.bits(2,3) = 2;" instead of "if(x & 0x80) { x |= 0x08; x &= ~0x04; }" -- that may look a bit weird, but anyone who's done a ton of bit-twiddling will certainly appreciate the potential there for cleaner code.

I really hope D can get the GC completely out of the standard library and get a command-line switch to disable it. Then I can seriously consider switching languages.

(＊) we could actually solve this problem with external class functions, but I'm sure they're even less willing to go for that. But imagine if you had:

class Integer {
...
int square() const { return x * x; }
int self() const { return x; }
private:
int x;
};

extension int Integer::cube() const { return self() * square(); }

int main() {
Integer x = 5;
print("{0}, {1}\n", x.square(), x.cube());
//prints 25,125
}

The idea would be that your extension can't access the private/protected state (unless the function is declared a friend of the class.)

You still have the ability to extend classes with useful functions as needed, and the encapsulation principles aren't violated: no internal state can be accessed, the functions can't be virtual so you won't need to modify the vtable definition, etc.
It's not a good text editor either, it seems to be more like a password generator plugin for a text editor than a text editor on it's own.

It uses Serpent instead of AES, it hasn't been audited, it can't be used well to cover large files, doesn't really have any good tools to work with text (RegEx isn't even implemented), uses it's own "proprietary" container format(which doesn't encrypt metadata) and overall is very inconvenient to use (e.g. can't use it to directly edit multiple files in the same directory, could be they want you to use their containers as directories but it doesn't have a good interface for that either).

It's a nice trivia entry but can't really see any reason to use it or even a honest reason to recommend it to anyone.

Polymorphism and extensibility are features of OOP, but Haskell implements them in a rather different way to most OOP languages.

I realise people disagree about what exactly should be considered OOP, but personally I think not including inheritance in the definition broadens the term beyond usefulness.
The trouble between google and oracle wasn't about Java, it was about the Java Standard Library and Harmony. Which wouldn't really be solved by Kotlin.
Is there no way to search for properties on a desktop computer, or am I an idiot?
I have to both agree and disagree with this. Yes, the OP should build something...but I believe that for most people, they shouldn't necessarily build something so computer-science focused -- such as their own compiler, database, engine -- unless that's what they really want to do, eventually (i.e. go into computer science, or game development).

For people learning general programming...they should build something that is useful to them, in the very near future. When I had to learn Ruby on Rails for my new job, coming from PHP (and, well, a computer engineering, FWIW)...I learned Ruby quickly by using it to scrape Craigslist for apartment listings to my own CSV files for easier organization. It's a task I could already do in PHP, but now I could reap the benefits of a faster apartment search while learning a new language. As a new programmer, it's also helpful to understand what it means to build for an end user, even if that end-user is you. Even as an experienced programmer, I find it very helpful to do selfish-side-projects...because knowing what I need to have at the end of the day helps me get over the many obstacles I throw in front of myself (e.g. Am I following proper style? Should I refactor this now or later? etc. etc) that usually hinder my enjoyment of programming.
The diamond industry has a long history of marketing its goods that continues even today. 20 years ago, an engagement ring was 1 solitaire diamond. Now, it's much more common to buy a ring with 1 big diamond, 2 smaller ones on the side, and small diamonds around the ring. That's from marketing (and the lower cutting costs). 7 years ago, black diamonds were ground up and used on drill bits and saws, now they're sold in the US as "chocolate diamonds" for a nice premium. The diamond industry laughs at consumers in the US for that one. You can see it in the last 2 months as well - there's a big marketing blitz in the US right now that you need to buy a 2 diamond ring for your woman, one to symbolize love, the other to symbolize being a best friend. So I guess 1 is no longer enough. Each culture, naturally, responds to marketing in different ways. In the US, the marketing push has been to measure love by the size of the diamond. In Japan, it's measured by the color/clarity of the diamond. In the US, 2 months salary is the "rule". In Japan, it's 3 months salary.
Lots of People rely on GPS navigation without checking. This tells us how well it works and nothing else.

As an OSM-editor I know the map has many errors. (Not in my neighborhood mind you.) So when I strapped a Garmin loaded with OSM to my bicycle I knew what to expect. Sometimes I let it navigate my destination even when I know the route I want to take. Then I watch the device give me suggestions to know whether the map works. Found quite a few details that break navigation in OSM. Used that way you get immune to the urge to follow everything the device tells you. I have yet to attempt cycling down stairs that were recorded as path.

One common occurrence is the device insisting on you to turn around; its estimates getting longer and longer. A few later villages later in your journey you cross the nodes where the road was not correctly connected in OSM and the device is suddenly happy again.

When I'm somewhere I don't know, and OSM is reliable in that area, I find navigation very comfortable to use and it's saved me a lot of brain cycles.
I disagree. I think that if you have listings with two flats side by side for £1700pcm and one of them has a review with photos showing mold and cramp and the other has a review saying it was OK then you will start to force a price differential and eventually will force landlords and agents to stop being so crap.

Personally I'm hoping these guys launch their solution and fix the issues in the next few weeks (lol) as I'm about to dive back into that particular abyss (no lol).

While I 100% agree with your pragmatic view. It's bad that these commitment indicators are used to finance conflicts.

From personal experience I can say that true crypto knowledge is not needed as a Bank CISO. Just keep repeating 'hardware token only, hardware token only' and everyone will trust you opinion at the expense customer experience and true security. The reason that most banks use the identifier+card method is because they don't want to change. (or don't see the benefit of an improved customer journey without actual loss of security and improved/lowered cost)

But it is all just marketing. Before 1938 no one cared about diamonds, and people were able to show commitment just fine. If I'm not mistaken, the divorce rate was also significantly lower.

Itadaku is simply the honorific verb for receiving some items, or a benefit, toward the speaker, from a conceptually higher place above the speaker. Though used as an idiom before meals, it is quite literal, and so a brief, literal translation into English serves excellently: "I humbly receive". In fact, we could just about adopt that in English. The English speakers upon nearing "I humbly receive" from their earpiece could just echo it and it would go back to "itadakimasu". :)
Yeah, I tried this. IMO, if you don't have the grounding to do such a project justice, this is a good way of getting lost in the weeds and crash and burn hard once it passes your level.

There's nothing wrong with taking a few projects at a time to try and build up to where you want to be.

«Bon appétit» would be an adequate translation for most English speakers (even though it's French). A more "pure" English translation would probably be a grace of some kind, which serves more or less the same purpose (although I can also see some atheists bristling at a grace where they wouldn't bristle at いただきます or bon appétit).
German, one of English's closest languages, also does the "verb at end" for many constructs (e.g. past tense, future tense, "must"/"should"/"can")
On (drumroll....) the fact that the average price-to-own for an iOS device is about double that of an Android device? On the fact that 128GB of memory for an Android device costs (in local - Swedish - currency, but the importance here is the relation between the prices) 400 kr compared to the ~3000 kr price difference between a 16GB and 128GB iPhone 6s? That a 'flagship' Android device will cost anywhere from 1/3 to 2/3 of the price of the current 'flagship' iOS device? That those Android devices come equipped with micro-USB ports so they can connect to the-world-and-its-brother while those iOS devices nowadays sport 'lightning' ports which require special (and, need I say, rather expensive) cables? That you can develop software for Android on whatever system you prefer, while developing for iOS means you need to buy into OSX and use Xcode? That apple only offers a limited spectrum of devices, none of which can be termed as 'affordable' compared to the plethora of Android devices?
It's a theoretical breakthrough that explains an unexpectedly bad behavior of current designs that was not understood so far: a discrepancy between theory and experimental observations.

Now that the model is fine enough to explain the turbulences observed in the experiments one might hope that this will help suggest design changes to better deal with the turbulences. However the MIT article does not suggest any practical design modification yet.
