Yeah and some people use them to their advantage. For instance, notice that President Obama uses "umms" to ensure that he's never not making a sound. Makes it harder for an interlocutor to interrupt.
Hey, that's my thread! In case anyone's wondering, I ended up with a $25 Nook Simple Touch. If you just want the screen and no touch capability, then look through the rest of the thread. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to play with it much yet, but I can tell you the rooting process works very smoothly for the NST.
The wikipedia article says it's pronounced "mʌləˈjɑːləm" (3rd syllable stressed), yet don't people in Kerala say "mʌˈlɑːjələm" (2nd syllable stressed, last 2 syllables almost spoken as one). It's been 30 yrs since I visited, so maybe I remember wrongly. If so, then maybe writing "Malayam" instead of "Malayalam" isn't too far wrong.
Tremendous effort. Congrats.
I never bothered with vpns and just accepted that I could only use those sites at work on our corporate internet. Weird, I worked at MS and would use Bing at home, but I would use google at work because it was the only place I could use it (well, after it was blocked).

And actually, youku isn't that bad for video once figure out how to navigate it. Xiami for streaming music was also very effective. Still annoying, but I dealt.
As an Indian all I can say is don't even bother addressing western delusions about themselves. Time will be the judge on the quality of innovation a culture built on celebrity worship, instant gratification and mindless consumption can produce.
Erratum: instead of "they still show that in theory seeing in the night is physically impossible.", read "they still show that in theory seeing in the night is NOT physically impossible."
Court of law != court of public opinion.

If the New York Times was involved in a major scandal, and their response was "I plead the 5th", and refused to give any details, well I as a human being absolutely can judge them on their decision to not explain themselves, and I absolutely can judge them guilty.

Don't like it when I judge you guilty and treat you as guilty? Then be more transparent and try and convince me otherwise.

It's quite possible you're inferring too much from a translation artifact.

For real. Have people saying this ever tried to work in a moving car? To achieve deep concentration with a laptop on a train? Even in an exceptionally comfortable cabin?

I'm not saying it's impossible. I've done it here and there. But it's definitely a challenge and far from a norm.
That's a crazy (awesome?) level of effort. May I ask why you went to it? What type of knowledge base are you building?
ReactXP – A library for building cross-platform apps
Can confirm. I'm in Bangalore, and a few months ago the city banned Uber pool. The next day Uber sent out an email "all pool rides are now ₹49". They eventually got the order overturned in a couple of weeks (by suing the city I guess). But they never stopped operating.
Look at the bones. Look at how their toes line up with the longer bones in the foot. Then look at your own smallest toes. Look at how they bend inwards and are not aligned with the bones in the foot. That's what wearing shoes while a child does. It's one of a host of little tells that forever indicates the physical conditions in which a person is raised.

Huh? Why? React.createClass({}) is/was pretty straightforward. What is more straightforward about classes? All I see is more code.
As someone who talks quite (very?) fast and has to carefully slow down for public speaking...

... I found Lin's style of speaking very difficult to listen to. I appreciate the professionalism of the approach (if that's what it is), but if only by a small margin (perhaps 10-20%), I found her speaking too slow to the point that I wanted to skip forward constantly and would have found it difficult to pay attention to in person. :/

Perhaps this might be about the structuring of information as well (I'm familiar with much of what's being talked about). That said however, I've historically found that when listening to really good speakers, I find it easy to sit and have explained to me things that I already know well - so I'm not sure what's happening here.
And just to take this further: there's a massive context switch for the dev team when a burned out developer leaves after 1-2 years, compared to the 9-5 dev who's still there and happy.
Thanks. I responded there.

I have tons of bookmarks. Pro-tip: make a bookmark, edit the bookmark, set the title to "" <empty string>. Then you have it's favicon as your site launcher.

http://imgur.com/a/mVFYh

sometimes I make use of the features "open all bookmarks in this folder".

other times I use the bookmark to (as somebody else mentioned already) weight consideration of sites I'm interested in getting results from.

aside: at hackreactor, I worked with some folks on the beginnings of a chrome extension to grab your bookmarks, analyze the content of each site, and suggest new bookmarks when you open a new tab. the suggestions part was working already by the time I came around. then I got a job and that pretty much fell out of priority... heh.
USENIX Enigma 2017 – Startups and Industry: How Everyone Can Win (H. Thrift/Uber)
Not really no. Even the stuff I do bookmark I do so more as a "I might need this six months from now" kinda thing.
Wait, how can that be true? I worked in Gothenburg for several months a few years back, and there is a strong drinking culture. My poor language skills and memory may have me wrong, but all pubs advertise 'stor stark' happy hour, which means the beers are big and strong. If drunk walking can get your license revoked, how are there so many cars on the road?

where do you live that taxi companies don't have there yet apps? heck wet have already aggregators so you don't need bunch of apps

so what's benefit for user? all i see at Uber is avoiding taxes and breaking competition by ignoring regulation which is why they are not that big in EU
Also they brought the most populous country in the world from extreme poverty to a near superpower status

Doesn't that kind of prove his point? The worlds most populous country isn't even a super power. It under-performs.

BTW, a less hyperbolic rendition might be "china went from a low-income country to a middle income country", as that's all that happened. It was nothing particularly remarkable, the same thing happened in many Asian countries.
I use the bookmarks bar to neatly organize my frequent links. And I kind of have an OCD when a link is misplaced in the wrong folder.
Of course, then, some folders, I never visit again but some, very very frequently.

Also for the habit of reading/skimming articles and often hopping from one URL to another, I use One Tab. Super efficient to collect links in one page:

The big question was the rocket that had to fire to return the LEM to the orbiter. It was packed in next to the retrorocket that was used to descend. It was vibrated and jolted by the landing, then sat for three days, and then it had work perfectly to get them off of the moon. There was no possibility of any redundancy or the ability to test it under realistic conditions.

I saw a quote by Buzz Aldrin once where he gave the rocket a 50/50 chance of working properly.
It produces smaller binaries and it has fast compilation times. So yes, I will continue using it on x86 as well.

As soon as Shadow DOM v1 is implemented and active in stable in Chrome, Safari and Firefox, I am pretty sure it will start a new trend. And React might be persived like JQuery, Ember, Angular1 as a fad, that has been superseeded by new native browser capabilities. KISS.

I use it for various smaller protects and have no issues with it. Looks good to me.
I have a ton of bookmarks, but I use them passively. From my experience, Firefox is the undisputed king of making sure anything you type in the address bar will be instantly checked against your bookmark collection.

For instance, maybe I'm looking for a PostgresSQL tutorial. I start typing "postgres" and one of the bookmarks I forgot about from several months back appears. This approach has ended up saving me a lot of time over the years. Another cool thing is when a bookmark pops up when I'm searching that brings back memories. If the site is still up, I get a free trip down memory lane :)

My collection is at least 9 years old now. I've been maintaining the same Firefox database over the years by migrating it manually from version to version. Now it's seamless thanks to Firefox Sync. I get my bookmarks on my PC, laptop, and my phone. I have an Xmarks account as a backup, and for cases when I prefer to use Chrome.

I suppose it's a matter of resolution. ARCONS is an IR photon counter with 44x46=2024 pixels. I don't know how that would correspond with a camera's ISO, but you can't get much better than single photons. I'd imagine it's useless to install in your ground telescope, but perhaps in a couple decades, the resolution will be scaled up to compete with current optics imaging methods.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1306.4674
Agree. This is Maker's Triangle stuff (Good, Cheap or Fast, pick two). Everyone is picking Cheap and Fast, and not only Cheap, but Free, so the amount of Good left in this stuff is non-existent.

If there's no Good chosen, then it all gets crufty and full of tech debt. So someone else thinks they can do better, and starts developing a replacement. In order to get traction, though, they need to make it Free and develop it Fast, so after a while they start taking a few short-cuts, and round we go again.

I have faith that it'll settle down eventually, but until then...
4 questions to tell us about your sleep
Hey we are doing a market research project on sleep product. Would appreciate if you could fill out this quick survey! https://goo.gl/forms/VJRWxtWxlZoPzHBN2
The situation has really improved, mostly due to auto-updating, increased competition between browsers, the iPhone's power to compel modernisation, and the resulting fading of proprietary technology like flash or ActiveX.

Sure, google.com probably needs to support IE 6. For my own business, I'm not willing to make compromises for browsers below 2%. That currently means Safari 10, Chrome 56, and IE 11. And IE 11 is really stretching it by now–next time it gets in my way, I'll give people a reason to upgrade.

Now I don't have "enterprise" customers, and it's a rather small business. For anything medium-size up, the calculus changes, and probably makes it worthwhile. But at some point, these mystical "enterprises" really have to get their act together and stop dragging technology back to 2006.

This seems like such an obvious way to use bookmarks in the toolbar, and it keeps me from using Safari more often.
For the first case, I think you want a view in normal lighting conditions, and not the low-light view of the scene. What expectations of a well-lit scene would look like in regular balanced full color (cloudless summer noon daylight or similar), and then the enhanced color low light version (overcast, moonless star light).

A split-screen view, with half the screen in pitch black wouldn't illustrate much.
CCDs count photons in a particular fashion, and it happens to involve individual photons doing things. You might think of it as photons knocking electrons off of atoms, but it's actually semiconductors with a narrow bandgap, so CCDs work at much lower energies than needed for ionizing radiation.

I'm not sure what you mean by separating "meaning" from "roots". To myself they are one in the same (the root word or a meaning of the root "word", there is no difference in my opinion). Could you provide some examples of what you mean? Maybe I'm thinking too literally or you meant "root" (as in radicals) different from "root" (as in root word).

「自転車」, 「図書館」, 「作家」, 「日光」,「棋士」. You even have witty ones like 「親子丼」. Just have to be careful about ones like 「多少」.

The reason I would say not to rely on such literal meanings to define words is because some require some stretch of the imagination like「子宮」 and my rule of thumb is if it it requires a stretch of the imagination it's because it doesn't actually mean that. But literal translations can still be useful as mnemonics to learn new words/kanji. Like a pair of training wheels that eventually get removed.

Similar to "the Liberals in Australia and Republicans in the US set about creating a pro-big business, pro-military Anglosphere". Does that mean New Zealand should become part of Canada?
I was responding to a comment saying "classes are a bad idea in JS in general". `React.createClass` is a homegrown implementation of classes, React.Component builds on ES6 classes, both would be disliked by Kyle Simpson or Douglas Crockford.

There are three major differences between `createClass` and React.Component:

- Autobinding

- Mixins

- Custom class system vs one that's built into the language

Autobinding is the most useful aspect, but there's a variety of ways to deal with it: use the Class Properties syntax and write methods as arrow functions, use one of the many autobind utilities in a constructor, write your own base class that extends React.Component and do autobinding in its constructor, etc.

Mixins are now a discouraged approach for writing React code. If you still want to use mixins in React components, there's some "compat component" classes on NPM, or you could use a non-React-specific method of applying mixins.

And finally, deprecating a custom class implementation means that it's one less thing the React team has to maintain, and the lib size is that much smaller.
The resulting brightness has nothing to do with the lens size.
The important factors are the focal ratio and the sensor size.
Obviously the sensor should have an appropriate size to receive all the focused light otherwise it's just wasted.
Nope, nothing to do with that.

I have seven folders of bookmarks. Each for different topic/subject. Whenever I come across a new link which I will need to refer to in future, I store it so that I can open it from the bookmark. If I am not going to need the bookmark or no longer interested in a certan subject, I delete the bookmark or the whole folder. Some of the bookmarks have been there since 2010 because they are of the tools I still use.

I use Chrome. I like the fact that the bookmarks are synced to my Android phone and work computer. That way they are available whenever I want to use computer.

... and the amount of risk was driven by the fact that a human was needed to land. NASA did a bunch of incremental tests before landing a human on the moon, but the amount of human interaction needed limited their ability to do unmanned tests. Future systems are likely to be a lot more autonomous, which will allow more unmanned testing.
Rates and statistics matter. News organizations tend to pick out whatever statistic meets their narrative (just look up all the analysis of the pay gap but that's a whole nother can of worms). Are more phones entering the country? Are more phones entering from countries that should have additional screening? Just saying it's absolutely gone up doesn't reflect the true situation.

As I said before the aperture of a lens has nothing to do with the final brightness.
You can have a lens 100 times bigger, but if the original lens is f/2 and the humongous one is f/2.8 the first one will be more bright.
The fact that Chinese characters hinder literacy is frequently discussed by linguist and Sinologist Victor Mair on Language Log: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?cat=18

Your reaction would be reasonable if someone had claimed that a particular spoken language was hard to learn. Spoken languages are all equally easy, because they are all learned by children in a few years.

But written languages can be arbitrarily difficult, and in Chinese, people with post-graduate educations will often forget how to write common words. This is not cultural supremacy. This is linguistics.
Yes, every day, as part of a two-tier system.

I use browser bookmarks for pages I visit every day, or for pages that I intend to view again in the near future. An icon on a toolbar right on top of the browser is much easier to access than a link stored in a third-party app or website.

Of course I could just keep all those pages open in background tabs all the time, but I don't like clutter. Having too many open tabs also consumes a nontrivial amount of CPU and RAM. Bookmarks are also safer in case the browser crashes and fails to restore all the open tabs.

I use Pinboard for pages that I might view again at some time in the future, for research or some other purpose. The archive feature is very useful for this.
An important difference between animal (and our) eyes is that the biological systems use logarithmic intensity in signaling, not linear.

2 pulses encode a signal that's a factor higher than a 1 pulse signal.

You see this limitation in the video as well. That CCD video, the one with some vision and color but huge amounts of noise, I feel you see that it's clamping to some limited domain. Increasing it's range would improve things a lot.
NY Supreme Court Says Facebook Can't Challenge 381 Broad Warrants Handed to It
> I can't think of any "modern" philosopher whose work was so revolutionary that it broke completely from the philosophical traditions started in ancient Greece and the near east.

I'd say it comes down to the split between the Continental and Analytic schools. Russel and Wittgenstein come to mind. They represented a radical departure from, and rejection of Continental philosophy which was rooted in metaphysics and descended directly from Socrates. Personally, I'd make the distinction around that time-frame.
And if we change to "proportional to the area of the lens, not the sensor" ?
