Standups, when done with discipline, bring in a lot of insight and prove helpful for everybody in the team. I use Assembla at work which offers a standup module, which asks the three customary questions. My problem is getting my team to regularly fill those up. I have personally reminded them several times. I have created an automated bot which checks who hasn't added a standup for the day and reminds them on HipChat. Despite that, people just don't do it with regularity. I should think this is a common enough problem that most teams/organisations face. I'm interested in what they use to tackle it.
This is definitely alive in Portland, OR. There's a pride in handling the rain.
This is very cool! We use HipChat (migrating to Slack soon) and Assembla (which has a standup module). We have coded a bot which checks who has not added their standup in Assembla and reminds them on HipChat.

I think you've described an optimistic scenario for a Trump presidency, but there are also worst case scenarios.

By far the biggest problem is that his personality cannot tolerate losing or insult. I don't think he would accept "losing" to ISIS and would possibly escalate things to obscene levels—he seems to be a big fan of nuclear weapons.

Domestically, he is entirely intolerant of criticism. He's made it abundantly clear that he would like to make criticizing him illegal and openly encourages his supporters to beat up protestors. Keeping free speech alive will require a vigorous defense of separation of powers, and even then I'd be concerned about his supporters taking things into their own hands.

> We cannot use those (xi,yi)(xi,yi) directly, because they come from a Mercator projection of the earth, thus they are distorted. I had to apply a transformation to them in order to get coordinates that aren’t distorted. In order to do that I used the pyproj library.

Nitpick: you apply a transformation where they are less distorted. There is no "distorsionless" mapping from R^2->sphere. A more accurate approach would be to use spherical geometry to calculate the actual areas, but I doubt that it would change the values too much though.

Also I would be curious what was the exact projection you used and how you choose the parameters for each country.
Sturgeon's law applies to musical genres: 90% of everything is crap.

But, those are pretty good. I'm aware of the genre, though not super familiar with it, most of it doesn't grab me. SURVIVE doesn't seem to fall into the nostalgia trap; wherein things have to sound exactly like the old thing it is paying homage to. A lot of retro stuff, in many genres (punk, country, rock and roll, metal, etc. it goes on and on), is just annoying and trite retreads of good stuff that happened 20+ years ago.

I'm maybe sounding way more grumpy about it than I actually am, and I'm not specifically criticizing the links you've provided; I'm checking them out now, and mostly liking them. Just rambling, in general, about how retro in the arts can be a trap, and it takes a really strong artist to escape that trap.

So, umm...after that rant: Thanks for the links! I'm checking them out as we speak.
That's a really interesting and overlooked point. If correct (that is, if populist/proto-fascistic tendencies in modern Russia exist and have something in common with their equivalents in the West), it almost seems to overturn the commonly accepted theory that the rise of dangerous populism in everywhere is mostly due to economic stagnation -- since by comparison, Russia have done quite well in the past decade up until the drop of oil prices.
Depends on which land of Franks you're talking about, but in most places the Franks eventually adopted the local language of the place they ruled (which is why French is a Romance language and not a Germanic one).
The way things are going, I see all parties approaching zero sum. Hardware is nearly identical and software stack is approaching too as everything is moving into web apps (see Progressive Web Applications (where Apple is in fact lagging)). Serious Desktop Apps is not such a big thing anymore. iOS has all the Serious Desktop Apps already. Android too. So does MS.

Sure there will always be some legacy code done in MS which is probably easier to port from 7 to 10 (and onwards) than into the web stack. But legacy is not what accounts for growth as so much new software is done on web stack.

Also, if you look this way, Chromebooks also compete in this space.

I'll take researchers for $1,000, Alex.

Not a knock to drug manufacturers who are simply acting as they should under the current profit-driven system, but I think we'd be far better off if more of this existential-level stuff (like health) were government functions, or at least government sponsored and not-for-profit.

So, let's support a federation of researchers who have direct incentive for discovery. Then, let's make those discoveries public domain.

The show is not as good as the intro. And, the show is, like the intro, an homage to a bunch of 80s stuff. If you didn't grow up loving Stephen King novels and movies, and the like, you may not sync up with the stories they're telling.

They really are retreading a bunch of 80s tropes; I enjoy it, but I recognize that the kids are rehashing a Spielberg-ian kidventure flick along the lines of Goonies or ET, the teenagers are stuck in a horror flick ala Friday the 13th, and the grownups are in a paranoid government conspiracy movie. Any of it would also fit comfortably into an X Files episode. I like all those things; even while I recognize they're pandering to my inner child. Then again, my girlfriend really likes it, too, and she's young enough to have not grown up on any of these things.

So, I don't know. I like it. It's not high art, but it's definitely fun pop culture, for me.
Sorry if this is too impractical, but you might look at gamification as an application of general principles of human psychology and decision making.

An interesting point would be that if S. aureus becomes resistant to lugdunin (a matter of a few years maybe), S. lugdunensis might evolve naturally to find a new antibiotic.

So a similar study in a few years might lead to a new antibiotic molecule targetting the mutated S. aureus.

Is there hope for this or is it nonsense?

>Um, aren't functional dependencies an add-on to multiparameter type classes?

You're right, I meant "type families".

> I defined two type instances that violate the principle of not doing evil:

We're not doing abstract category theory; we're writing computer programs (well, I am). Have you ever run into a problem with type families in that capacity?

>if two types are isomorphic, applying the same type constructor to them should yield isomorphic types.

Agreed, but there's a difference between type functions and type constructors. TFs are (a limited form of) type functions. Value-level constructors admit lots of nice properties that value-level functions do not, and I see no reason to be uncomfortable with this being reflected at the type level.

> What if I want to order them as Grey-coded numbers

Use a newtype wrapper. Even if a language allowed ad-hoc instances, I would consider it messy practice to apply some weird non-intuitive ordering like this without specifically making a new type for it.

> Creating `newtype` wrappers is easy at the type level, but using them is super cumbersome at the term level.

And using ML-style modules is easy at the term level, but cumbersome at the type level.

It's a tradeoff, and I suspect that newtypes are usually the cleaner/easier solution.

> ML modules are plain System F-omega

I hadn't seen the 1ML project. That's pretty cool.

> It's type families, as done in Haskell, that violate parametricity!

How so? I really don't understand your argument here, if you just take TFs to be a limited form of type function.

Show HN: Webscope – Easy way for web developers to communicate with Clients
It's been nearly a decade since I worked for the TSA, but back then the procedure was:
1) Put the bag through the CT scanner
2) If it beeps, open the bag and find the offending object and make sure it's not an explosive or whatever.
3) Try to put the bag back together the way you found it as best you can
4) Leave that note that says you were in the bag
5) Send it on it's way

I suspect it probably hasn't changed much.

I doubt that it's to show ones manliness. When you are used to rain (I bet everyone that lived in London for more than a week is), you know when it's not strong enough to get you wet and when it's really time to take your umbrella or get a shelter. I usually carry an umbrella, but use it only when I see that otherwise I'm going to get soaked. Walking down a crowded street with an umbrella is often simply too much of a hassle.
> We're not doing abstract category theory; we're writing computer programs (well, I am). Have you ever run into a problem with type families in that capacity?

I like being able to reason about my programs. For that to be a smooth process, the language has to be mathematically civilized.

> Agreed, but there's a difference between type functions and type constructors. TFs are (a limited form of) type functions.

By “type families”, I meant both data families and type families. Case-analyzing types is the problem, see below.

> And using ML-style modules is easy at the term level, but cumbersome at the type level.

Actually, ML-style modules are also more convenient at the type level too! If I want to make a type constructor parameterized by 15 type arguments, rather than a normal type constructor in the core language, I make a ML-style functor parameterized by a structure containing 15 abstract type members.

> How so? I really don't understand your argument here, if you just take TFs to be a limited form of type function.

“In programming language theory, parametricity is an abstract uniformity property enjoyed by parametrically polymorphic functions, which captures the intuition that all instances of a polymorphic function act the same way.”

How do they only have arrest?

The police officer could have sat with the child for a few minutes, discussed why the behaviour was inappropriate, and let them return to class.

You're right, I believe Haskell's fusion framework could be greatly improved (although it is the best production solution I'm aware of). However, how would you go about solving this?

Hi guys,
Do you know the feeling of getting a messy email from a client with a ton of notes? Do you get frustrated working with a company and getting notes from several different people in the company, each organized in a different format, sometimes even contradicting each other's notes?
We, at Benzo Media have been working for a while now with a tool we developed for our selves. It gives your clients a neat little interface to write notes while looking at their future website. We called the tool Webscope and today we are inviting anyone who wants to use it. The tool is completely free, just sign up, open a project, and invite your clients to join.

Yes. As someone who's written popular open source before, I can say that if it made me money, I would've happily invested more time into it. Instead, it just brought me lots of thankless work, which caused me to abandon it.

Funding would go a long way towards making open source better. It doesn't solve everything, but it actually would make a huge difference.

One thing is what the author puts into things, another thing is what the reader gets out of it. Animism and spirits is hardly limited to Christian mythology. I personally thought it was kind of clever and vivid imagery, especially with the mad scientists fuelling their doomsday device by ripping children apart from their souls, much like splitting the atom lead to horrific suffering when used as an engine of war - or much as certain dogma in education seems engineered to squash the imagination of children.

At any rate, I can absolutely accept that the work didn't appeal to some as much as it did me - but I just thought it strange that the reason should be that it was somehow particularly "Christian". Strikes me a bit like ignoring the parallels with the story of Christ and eg. that of Horus/Osiris. I'm not convinced people didn't come up with the stories about virgin birth, magical manipulation of water and so forth without having to hear another version first: the point is more that if you have a character that's born from a virgin, that doesn't have to mean you're trying to invoke an image of Jesus Christ. Although, often, it does mean just that.

Then there's the issue of universality of myth (sacrifice, kindness etc) - and from a certain set of religious views one could probably argue that any "atheist" myth is simply anther way for a deity/deities to make his/her/their will known...

Thanks! May I ask how you got this link?
I can understand you disliking the photography but I wouldn't say that the storytelling hewed "very closely to the expectations".

I'm trying to avoid spoiling things for those who haven't seen it, but almost every character became more multi-dimensional and the story progressed in unexpected ways. It took the worn-out tropes and flipped them over. Even your singular use of the word "genre" confuses me. Was there only one genre? It started out as a horror movie and then evolved into some sci-fi secret experiment narrative.
Enpass is the best alternative for LastPass. I switched over from LastPass a few months ago.

First I decided 1Password to replace LastPass, but it puts a lot of weight on my pockets as it's very expensive. Then I encounter Enpass. It's a really good password manager.
What I like about Enpass is that it saves database locally on my device not on their server and gives the desktop app for free.

It's worth to try and it hardly takes a few minutes to move all your LastPass database into into Enpass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn69hHur3Jo

The standard library also includes Path/PathBuf and OsStr/OsString. And third-party libraries also use [u8] for bytestrings.

It'd be nice to improve handling for user-supplied text where you can't assume UTF-8. For instance, git2-rs provides the contents of diffs as [u8], because it can't assume the diffed files use UTF-8. That led to this commit today: https://github.com/ogham/rust-ansi-term/pull/19/commits/a0da...

That felt like a lot of boilerplate to abstract between str and [u8]. Is there a better way to solve that problem?

(As much as I'd love to just say "use UTF-8", that would break on many git repositories, including git.git and linux.git.)
