Even nostalgia can't cast a rosy glow over that huge pain in the proverbial. The fun was in playing the games - getting them to run in the first place, especially the battered rentals which were so often the only option when a single cartridge cost $50 or so, was anything but.

Why not stop off in Boulder on your way to CA?
You have had several responses which are all basically correct. If you are still having trouble with the concept, think of the moon and how it always shows the same face to the Earth: you never see the "back." This is because the moon is tidally locked to the Earth.
I'm a parent of two young children and I thought this was atrocious when I read it in 2014. You're not raising buddies, you're raising independent adults. You're there to help them find their direction, not tie them to yours. Letting a young child with a developing mind and a growing body spend hundreds of hours pressing a button when a few pixels overlap in order to fuel your pride and self-satisfaction is almost literary in its patheticness and its potential personal consequences. It's the geek equivalent of toddler beauty contests and for my part just as well thought of.
Open Source Show and Tell (Friday, June 9th, in San Francisco)
I should've been more descriptive. In general, it's hard to know who's "ahead" as neither of them has launched anything. However, Google has spent more capital over a longer time on it. This piece though seems mostly to be PR covered up as journalism (aka the submarine).
I don't know why the video quality is so shitty. My cellphone takes better quality footage than this. I would assume they could have used a tiny portion of their multi-million $ budget for some decent cameras.
I am a woman of color. Unfortunately I do think location does matter quite a bit as I've heard of all these horror stories from tech scene in the U.S. but so far I have encountered nothing but respectful working environments, and some really good ones where I feel highly valued and have a lot of room for growth.

I think some things good to look out for during the interview are:
- when you ask about their culture, what's their response? Beer and ping pong are not culture, they're at best fun stuff that young, hip bros like to do. If beer and ping pong is all they give you as an answer there might be a redflag there, it's possible that they'd discriminate against people who are not like them (people who don't drink etc.) Good answers to hear are how they want their people to succeed, what's their plan on taking their product and company up a level, what do they value and how do they carry out those values on a day to day basis? Do they provide any opportunities for employees to learn?
- look at your to-be direct manager, from talking to him do you feel a sense of huge ego? do they think they know everything and is better than you at everything? or do they show a sign of humility and genuinely want to learn about your background and what you can bring to the table?
- everybody else that interview you, are they behaving appropriately throughout the interview? ask them what they like and dislike about their job, that usually tells a lot. Again, if answer is "I love the free beer and pizza" something's wrong. They should be telling you what kind of opportunities they're getting at this company. Ask about work-life balance, during one of my interviews someone actually told me "the work life balance here is pretty good, some people have young children, it's not really fair to ask them to stay late everyday", and that's how I got a feel that the employer does encourage life outside of work.
- I'd also watch out for companies that hire women for the sake of filling the quota, they're hiring you based on your gender, not your skills. Can you really expect that they'd value your skills enough to be supportive in your career development when you actually work there? Someone that hired you based on gender, would they really want you to get promotions in the future?

I wish I could explain better, but I think if someone is ego inflated it's fairly easy to tell just from some simple conversations, and I tend to avoid those people (I think even if I were not a woman, I'd still avoid those people).
I have no kids, gf has a small business which she operates from home and is willing to move with me.
I don't think Apple offers support to extend their camera app (there is support for extending the photos app, however).

What you _can_ do, (and it's quite easy), is to create your own app, capturing video from the camera. Then you can overlay any AR content you wish onto it.
The Dragon book is not good at teaching parsing, but is obsessed with the idea and spends 2/3 of the time talking about it, so you'll just be left thinking it's really difficult. The whole thing is extremely boring and lacks confidence.

Try "Parsing Techniques: A Practical Guide" and then a more concise book like Muchnick.
You posted a blog post by a Randian climate change denier who authored a book called The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels.

I'm assuming you just searched for the first article that tries to spin Apple's environmental efforts negatively and that you don't actually endorse anything he wrote.

If in fact you do, consider this: when you deposit cash in an ATM on one side of town and withdraw it from another on the other side of town, the cash may not be physically the same cash you deposited. Electrons work the same way.
The internet and the physical world are fundamentally different. Anyone can make a new website to espouse their views, rather than use an existing website. I think the premise is flawed.
Well, take a look at the map here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurya_Empire

Totally agree. It took me until several years out of school to realize that learning to think should have been a primary focus of university.

25 years on I am realizing that although it got me work and very decent pay I probably would have been much better off if the entire focus of university had been:

1. Learning how to think

2. Learning how to learn

Really the focus of earlier schooling probably should have been:

1. Learning how to read with good comprehension

2. Learning how to write so that others can understand me

3. Math so that I could do basic calculations required for everyday life.

Everything else is gravy.
It's not laziness. It's working smarter not harder [towards the target of well-being]. Efficiency is definitely a hacker thing.
Ballard was primarily an SF author though. His autobiographical Empire of the Sun was an exception as was, arguably Crash. But really, although his later writing got away from the world destroying sub-genre, there were at least science fictional elements throughout.
> It's just that there are guns to be sold, proxy wars to be fought, and sanctions to be imposed, etc., until that country (Russia) is finally allowed to be plundered like everybody else. How dare they have their own interests in mind?

There is the world of difference between the interests of Russian people and the interests of Russian government.

The rest of comment is also sadly completely misinforming.
One way it might make sense is in how much return you get for it over the rest of the years of your life. That's one "problem" with education; the payoff is very much later than the goods are delivered, and the goods are fairly expensive.
My email notifications do not include these two reasonable comments, but do have a really ugly personal attack against me that I am not currently finding here. I can only assume you changed your mind and deleted it.

I made a good faith reply based on sketchy information, thus drew on aggregate statistics to fill in the gaps. I stand by my actual suggestions to you that it might make sense to get mediation, etc. There is nothing in my actual suggestions to you in my first reply that is ugly or any of the other things I have been accused of here.

I realize this is your question and you are probably feeling like everything I have said here is thus about you. But most of what I said here was in defense due to being randomly attacked by some guy who swears he does not have baggage, yet feels perfectly fine with putting ugly words in my mouth and upping the ante with every single comment and not backing down.

But instead of fussing at him for derailing your question, you chose to fuss at me. Maybe you should wonder why that is.

I am only bothering to point that out to suggest that if you really want to work things out with your wife, it may help to wonder how you are coming across. Because the pattern for how this conversation went of he-said-she-said and the shit show just escalates is an all too common one. It does not build bridges.

I sincerely hope you and your wife can find a way to work this out. But I am feeling quite crapped on overall here and wondering why I bother to try to build bridges, keep the peace etc.

I am not your wife. Presumably you two have positive things going on as well. But this entire conversation is all too emblematic of what is wrong with the entire men vs women crap in the world today.

So I plan to step out of this discussion permanently. At this point, whatever else gets said, I just don't feel any good can come of me trying to make further good faith efforts to participate and I am incredibly tired of feeling like I got shit on for the crime of being female in a majority male forum.
Does anyone have resources for "State of the art" algorithms and research that is used to do the sensor fusion (camera frames + motion sensor data)? I found this but not sure its the most up to date. I'm also looking for more detail in terms of code:

The seller will maybe pay 7-8% in terms of transaction costs. Lets assume a 30% increase in a house payments is enough to kick someone out. The costs of a typical house costs 6%(mortgage + taxes + insurance + repairs). That's means you need $1,000 a month for a 200k house.(Seems reasonable). Avg. California property taxes are 1.25%. So for that to increase your total payments by 30% you would need your house' value to increase $288,000 before it knocked you out of house and home. Of course with the 8% in transactions costs you leave with a modest $260k in profit.

I might be heartless but it's hard for me to feel too much sympathy for this individual.
I recall reading a familiar source I usually expect to be sensible (I've had memory problems since a head trauma a couple years back, which frustrate me constantly over seemingly unimportant context that's actually more disorientating than I like to admit) anyhow I received the impression that only the 13" models of the MBP with the new oled bar actually perform solidly for the headline spec and I can't recall any reason why now. Am I completely misinformed by my recollection or is the reality of a $2700 laptop that is the practical price of the performance one might expect just a garbage datum stuck in my mind? I'm not at all anti Apple, in fact particularly careful recently to seek a entry point into the ecosystem for a variety of reasons. This iPad announcement at least solves what my first Apple device in 27 years is going to be...

I don't believe that's the case. Sticky elements aren't uncommonly used in iOS at least. If there's guidance about interface elements not behaving the way you're describing, I didn't see it in glancing through the guidelines.

For what it's worth I don't see any "scrolling like an epileptic having a fit" behavior in Safari. It's difficult to understand your criticism when you aren't expressing it in meaningful terms, however.
AR devices rely on cameras for surface mapping - which could be accomplished with some sort of depth sensor (using infrared like the Kinect or otherwise).
People shouldn't use hackintoshes. In addition to being buggy and illegal, it's also disrespectful. They put a ton of work into their os and their right to sell it how they please should be respected. If you don't want to pay, then don't use it.
I find the turn of phrase interesting: "Google's" users.

Yes, of course technically that is an accurate description.

But although I am a user of Google, I don't like the idea of them thinking of me as their asset, even though I obviously am.

And irrationally because Google feels like such an omni-present utility, my intuitive expectation is that they index the web in a non preferential way.

Which still doesn't make any sense, because the entire utility of their search results is because they weight what they index.

There's some cognitive dissonance here, but I can't put my finger on exactly what it is.

Yeah Fastly (github's CDN) is ridiculously expensive and they charge for requests just like cloudfront which can become very expensive. They are the only major CDN provider other than cloud services which charges for requests.

We went from cloudfront -> edgecast -> keycdn and our bill dropped from $3000 -> $500 -> $120

Edgecast when you buy is through a reseller is quite cheap but we moved because we needed custom domain SSL which is quite expensive in edgecast
The article explicitly addresses that response - you can't just "make a new website" - you need a domain from a registrar and you need a place to host your content - both of which are private companies which can refuse to keep doing business with you.

Trolling the patent trolls
It was difficult in the sense that it's very rare (but by no means unprecedented) for someone to do it, but it was not particularly difficult in the context of my background. In other words, I'd say it was more difficult to become the sort of candidate admission boards would consider making an exception for than it was to actually get them to make the exception.

Not having an undergraduate degree is virtually always a nonstarter for graduate admission committees, which means you need to bypass them. The only way you can realistically do this is by proving your ability to an influential professor who has the clout to overrule them, or at least make them seriously consider it. That means you'll be trying this at a research university, and (ironically) it also means that more prestigious universities will consider it, though they'd never advertise it of course.

Before I accepted an offer, I was well into the admission process at both Oxford and CMU (the latter of which invited me to apply), and both explicitly clarified that my background wouldn't be held against me.

Specifically, I applied by 1) appealing to specific professors at the universities I was interested in whose research I respected; 2) explaining my unorthodox background with forthright honesty, while asserting the context that would clarify skipping undergraduate as a sensible decision; 3) getting very strong reference letters from reputable clients and past coworkers of mine; and 4) demonstrating through the interview process and personal letter that I had developed an exceptional skillset as an autodidact.

I'm very happy with the route I took. It enabled me to earn far more much earlier than I otherwise could have and without any debt; it also allowed me to accomplish a very specific goal: to study a specialization at the graduate level and contribute original research without needing to work through courses I was uninterested in. That said, I do recognize this isn't really possible for most people.

The Mughals never had the south because their culture was alien to most of the uninvaded south of india.

But before them the whole of India, Pakisthan, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Burma, Indonesia, Tibet, China were all culturally the same. I would even go further to say considerably most of the regions are still culturally the same.

It doesn't always require a big legal battle. If you can convince someone on the Preservation Board to require N more parking spaces (resulting in X fewer rental units at an even higher cost than originally planned), then you can shift the economics enough to render the project unviable.
Does the article specify the planet's distance from Earth? I can't seem to find this rather fundamental information.
I'm a student and I agree. I'm enrolled in 3 classes right now that will have little to no impact on my future career. I am personally motivated to learn more about topics that interest me, and I believe that colleges should be more focused on helping kids work towards something that they want to do, and not have them taking extraneous classes just for the sake of it.
All of life is tradeoffs. It doesn't matter if people "value" diversity in some abstract sense; it matters how they will value it when it comes into conflict with something else they value. If they can't think of anything they are willing to prioritise below diversity, they are almost certainly going to end up with a homogeneous team.

Also, I want to know that they are willing to tell people who only accept universally-applied, context-blind systems to take a hike. It is impossible to fix a cultural problem of disparate experiences with anything pretending to "objectivity".
If I want to talk to someone I feel very comfortable going over to their office and having a conversation. At most I'm interrupting 1 person. In an open office or cubicle farm if I walk up to someone and strike up a conversation I'm interrupting 10 people.
The thing that most struck me after signing up for a few college courses this past semester for the first time is how little emphasis there is on actually learning the material. Especially in math classes. The entire focus is on passing a test. It seems like the entire system is just set up as a means of "testing" whether you already know enough to pass a given course, rather than the focus being on learning and developing new skills.

You have generated quite a bit of opinion given that you start out admitting you don't even understand the discussion and are not part of the group being asked for opinions.

There are good reasons to be suspicious of companies who push hard on the "we're so fun!" angle. It can be a warning sign of any or all of: chaotic management, chaotic development practices, a work-all-the-time culture, a culture that's not family friendly, a bro-y culture, or relatively immature employee base. (It can also be just fine.)

Alcohol use can be especially problematic. Sometimes it's fine, and sometimes it's a sign of one of the things I mention above. But even when it doesn't indicate a systemic problem, in male-dominated environments it increases risk for women.

See, for example, the Geek Feminism entry on having alcohol at conventions: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassmen...

I've personally heard a number of horror stories from women in tech about getting sexually harassed at off-sites with alcohol.

So yeah, your not understanding why these things could be a problem is not a good indicator that they are not actually a problem.
Maybe it's "grass is always greener syndrome" but as someone who grew up in the Denver area I'd rather head to Washington or California than stay in CO. As with any city, Boulder works for some but not all; I'd caution that the Denver area has its own challenges for minorities and vulnerable populations. Racism, sexism, any other type of bigotry: I've seen it while growing up here.

Most students aren't paying that much. Sticker prices are often much higher than what students actually pay. The sticker price at Harvard is around $60k, but 70% of students receive financial aid from the University and of those students the average paid is actually only about $12k per year.

Some quick googling reveals that 52% of Boston University students receive financial aid, and the average award is about $30k per year.

What's happening is that only students from wealthy families are paying $70k a year, and they are basically subsidizing everyone else.
