I just recently got my first iOS system, an iPad. I was planning to write in cafes with it and a bluetooth keyboard. Too bad I'm a customisation freak, and in the end, I didn't find a suitable setup.

The problem is that I use three languages daily: Finnish, English and Japanese. Besides that, I use The Dvorak keyboard layout. There is no commonly used Dvorak layout for Finnish and Japanese, but it's jarring to have to change the key arrangement when changing language, so on my Mac, I customized myself a layout that contains the English alphabet, the Finnish extra characters ä and ö, and type also Japanese with that.

On iPad, I couldn't find a keyboard that allowed that. The 3rd party keyboards are a step into a right direction, and I think that the JB community has played their part at that.

Needless to say, I'm not willing to switch away from Dvorak after 10 years of muscle memory and a generally more pleasant typing experience.

I'm still hopeful for the future of my currently read-only device.
That might be a reasonable reply if you took that line out of context like you did, totally missing the point being made.
If you can't learn how to use Swing, it means you are a bad programmer. It does not depend on your age. You might not be willing to learn, or have some other reasons, but claiming that Swing is somehow so old that young people are not able to learn it is just plain false and completely unsubstantiated.
Technologists like this community often back up how great things are today by pointing out how even poor people today have material objects that kings couldn't dream of years ago, like big TVs.

And yet look at how many people medicate to handle life.
> CNN might be negative on trump, but the massive coverage they gave him, driven by a quest for ratings, made him more credible than the other republicans

That's kinda my thinking. CNN went so far in backing one candidate and ignoring or negatively covering the others, that if I didn't know any better would have thought they colluded with Trump. That is, by their obvious bias and seeming obsession with Trump, reporting about how many scoops of ice creams he eats, the whole Russia this Russia that narrative, saying stupid stuff like "don't read these documents, it's illegal, come to us for interpretation" they pushed people away and are making Trump look credible.
Old versions of libraries don't disappear when new versions are released.

Yea there's a link to the github with a brief blurb about open source on that page. I'm not planning on supporting Csound or LADSPA at this time, but I'm definitely open to pull requests!
> The MacBook is becoming a consumer device.

I think it always has been. The "pro" has been aimed more at artists than techies, and even there thing have been sagging as of late.

That Macbooks ran unix was a legacy of Next, and there in turn i was a convenient choice for rapidly bringing up a usable OS.

The BSD side of OSX/MacOS have been largely stagnant since the first release, afaik.
Uh huh. And if you reverse the polarity of the neutron flow, all these problems go away.

Seriously, you’re just spouting audiophile mumbo-jumbo and confusing issues encountered during mastering with limitations of the final recorded media.

I’m done here. Arguing with audiophiles is pointless.
> ...is a whole lot of luck and privilege.

I really dislike the language of privilege in this context. I'm not sure what point it serves other to diminish someone else. Some people are smart. That's as much a part of them as their skin color or sexual identity. Should they feel apologetic about that?

Also, as a counterpoint, I know brilliant people who wasted that talent on drugs and other things.

Anything mainstream should get flagged unless it presents some "new and interesting phenomenon," or satisfies some intellectual curiosity. You could replace the robotics in this story with anything else and it wouldn't change it at all, so it's really just three brief paragraphs a subject which has already been covered. I can see why people would flag it.

If you want the topic of America's visa policy as it relates to science to be discussed in depth, then someone can post a better article with substantive content. Most people are only going to read the title and vent their spleens anyway, so the bar has to be set higher for articles which touch on certain topics.
I didn't neglect it, but I did delete it from my reply for the same reason you got flagged down, and thought I could make my point without adding that triggering distraction.

MyWi was an amazing Cydia app, allowing for 3G > wifi, and even wifi to wifi sharing.

The iPhone still feels totally crippled without this functionality, and there's not even any way to side load the app.

How is being born to those parents not luck? I had to learn self-control, personal finance, investment, entrepreneurship, and so on by myself because no one taught me. I learned it very, very late and it's likely set me back decades.

I had to be exposed to people who knew these things, and who were willing to teach me despite my upbringing. The fact that I'm where I am with growing savings, a small but growing music business, and confidence in my gender identity and sexuality is pure luck.

This all depended on my parents, despite their failings, seeing that computers were going to be a big deal. No matter how bad things got, I always had a computer and an internet connection. If not for meeting the right people at the right times (all online), I'd have ended up in a loveless marriage, an ongoing slide toward abject poverty, and confusion about who I am like everyone else around here.

Now I know luck is mostly about preparation, but no one teaches you preparation around here. We're all about learned helplessness in these parts.
If the binary is using one of a few common libraries, e.g. GNU getopt, to read its command-line parameters, it should be possible to extract somewhat useful completions automatically.

Then you are essentially relying on the de-facto standard of not rolling your own argument parsing, as opposed to some product of a standards committee.
If you got a couple weeks off a year in the US, you were better off than most[1]. Plus we don't get other basics like maternity or paternity leave.

> most people I know older than their mid-40's can't imagine moving away from the US, and most people younger than that can't imagine moving to the US

This points out a big generational divide. There are tons of people doing just fine in the US right now, but they were mostly grandfathered in. The number of jobs available has not been growing with our population, mostly because exploiting globalization and automation are much cheaper ways of growing a company. It's obviously getting to the point that it's creating social instability, though.

I think Java still makes a lot of sense on the server.
I'll also recommend Hillbilly Elegy (more narrative and focuses on modern rural poverty in America) and Coming Apart (a bit more data driven and explanatory) on this subject.
It's how most communication works in just about all social situations, including dating, but even friends. Rarely does someone you want to be friends with say "Sorry, I don't want to spend time with you as a friend." They're just "busy."

Your very much welcome, as somebody on the spectrum I can relate quite a bit to your situation but can only imagine how frustrating this must be right now.

Don't let your head down too much and just keep in mind that we can't get along with everybody, it's not always all your own fault. Sometimes personalities just clash and it's best for everybody to just stay out of each other's way and do their own thing.

This does not mean that somebody is a "bad person" and the other a "good person", it simply means they just don't vibe with each other with no particular fault of anybody involved. So don't feel too guilty about this whole mess, at least as long they can't even be bothered to offer you any specifics about your supposed misbehavior.
You could flip it around and ask why people have this career at all. Maybe they like to have this kind of power over people. Everyone has a mix of motivations, some of which are not particularly becoming. Managers have to be aware of that and work around their more instinctive feelings.
> The hacker Karl Koch [1] thought being responsible for the disaster at Chernobyl [2] back in 1986 causing 2M deaths in the last 30 years.

I don't think that's right, the German wikipedia article says:

> Im April 1986 kam es zur Katastrophe von Tschernobyl. Karl Koch, zu diesem Zeitpunkt schon lange schwer drogenabhängig und in einem oft zweifelhaften geistigen Zustand, sah dies als unmittelbare Folge eines seiner Hacks an, da er kurz vorher in den Rechner eines Atomkraftwerks eingedrungen war.

Unless my understanding of German is flawed, what I'm reading is that it was Koch's drug-fueled paranoia that made him believe he was responsible for the Chernobyl disaster because he had recently hacked into a computer in a nuclear power station. It doesn't say whether this computer even was in Chernobyl, maybe he didn't know exactly where the computer on the other end was, or maybe it was more paranoia. He was, after all, in a pretty bad state near the end of his "career".

It's such a fascinating and sad story, this guy. I've watched the film "23 nichts ist wie es scheint" (initially because of the RAW/Discordia/Illuminatus Trilogy references) a long time ago, but I don't remember anything about Chernobyl in that film (but it was a long time ago).

There was another film, a US movie IIRC, that tells his story from the side of an FBI or CIA (or some agency) agent chasing him. I forget the title, anyone know?
I think you are misinterpreting the quote. I think you believe it means:

"The only persons who have the right critical mindset to assess this paper are in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration"

I believe instead it is simply saying:

"The paper has no obvious flaws that anyone unfamiliar with LIGO could point out. Therefore the best people who could assess it are the LIGO team"
I could pound out a UI in no time flat using Swing compared to anything related to JS. Desktop applications are not fashionable, but they are effectively still something that webapps and mobile merely strive towards.

Curiously, I do all those things without a second thought -- as well as my daily habit of picking up at least one piece of trash from the street and putting it in a trash can, putting my bare hands on subway poles and in dirt when gardening -- and have also not had a sick day in as long as I can remember, at least a decade.

In situations like this (for example if the women who mentioned having a boyfriend had been more direct "please stop trying to spend time with me") it would cause its own set of problems. An intentional harasser will insist nothing is wrong and keep coming back... at best. Some cause problems at work or become verbally/physically abusive. OP may have awkwardly stumbled into this situation, but his colleague doesn't know how to stop it without everyone getting pissed off. Is it worth HR involvement? Depends on what's been said. But it's not like they would understand each other from one conversation.

This took time for me to understand. I had an acquaintance starting at a company who was interested in my separate traveling job. When I moved to SF she said we should have dinner, we were cool, invited to her birthday. She suggested I find a souvenir for her on my next trip. Months later I gave her a nice scarf and never saw her again. She probably forgot that it was her idea! I asked her to meet up, and she'll agree, but then it never happens. If I say, "hey, why don't you tell me why we didn't meet up? I need to talk this over in person, you need to believe me", that's exactly what a harasser would do. So I've had to let this go. It might be a little uncomfortable, but no one really gains anything from fixing it, except trying to feel like I'm always right.

I was always wondering why it is not appropriate to watch the skirt of a woman when I find it nice. Do not get me wrong, I come from a family of feminists, happily married with kids.

But I am also pragmatic : when I wear a nice costume, it is too show off. When going outside, I know I will be surrounded by people who will watch me.

If I wear a flamboyant shirt, I cannot be upset that people are watching me. I find this normal. I will not find normal someone complaining or even getting in contact with me because of that (though, why not?) but watching, even intensely, is OK.
If I do not want to be seen I wear jeans and a blue t-shirt.

This is why I do not agree (including with my wife and mother) that women who wear nice, revealing things do this "for themselves". They do not. Le any other animal, we show how good we are. But we are evolved animals and this do not mean "take me", something people (mostly men) forget.

In short : watching someone who decided to exhibit is absolutely fine. Anything else is crossing the line.
TLDR; America should have a monarch, who can do all the entertaining insane things Trump does without also destroying the country.

Couple of key quotes:

"Looking at 10 Downing Street and the American White House now, I wonder which nation is constitutionally most in danger of allowing a tyrant to arise."

"My modest proposal on this, America’s great national holiday weekend, is that you choose an Uncle Sam or Aunt Samantha by lottery (which is all the birth of a monarch is) and give this person the powers of a constitutional sovereign, with precedence of state over the elected president. To save face, this person needn’t be called a monarch — “first American” or “sovereign citizen” will do. A reality TV competition can be held to finalize all the details. Americans are awfully good at that sort of thing."

From where I stand, things are also trending in a pretty bad direction in the U.K. too... not sure the Queen really help much.

People should do a lot of things. What they actually do is what matters. Despite all the web-inspired frameworks trying pave over real UI stacks in mobile devices, they have not succeeded in web-izing mobile UI. So, thankfully, we can turn our attention to the civil war of pubsub vs observer.
Why isn't there an app for this?

I live in a country where emergency services are completely unreliable, so my main experience of 911 / 999 emergency services is from television and films, and I've noticed a fair amount of friction in the phone call process, especially when it comes to verbally communicating the address. In addition to the phone number, wouldn't it be useful to also have native apps for this which optionally grant GPS access and camera access at the touch of a button?
Interestingly enough Chrome renders it just fine in the tab name/title.

Babel can now parse TypeScript source and turn it into an AST. It doesn't check types at this point.

This is fatalism and societies that adopt this attitude fall into some nasty traps. For example, there's no point to solving problems because it's the will of God.
You can use Babel with TS. For example, for JSX you can tell TS to "preserve" the JSX, which means you can tell babel or some other compiler take care of that transformation[1]. You can also use babel with typescript to use the babel presets for stage-[0-4] plugins. You can use the webpack TS loader, awesome-typescript-loader, to work with babel[2].

Without more information, this seems like the most obvious choice. Whatever other companies are using AGI for other purposes, will likely be purchasing it from this company.
Well it definitely has an affect, the only difference is everybody is either ok with it or indifferent to it. If all of a sudden Jimmy's wife starts being an asshole and gets fired then what? You don't think it would be handled differently if the head writer wasn't his wife? Just like this Facebook message thing. If she had been receptive to it, everybody is cool. But since she wasn't all of a sudden we've got the pitchforks out. I'm not saying it isn't wrong per se, but it's a far cry from some sort of clear-cut breech of ethics when whether it's ok or not depends on somebody's reception to it, and we sit here and happily condone marriages in the workplace and pretend they don't have an effect.
Meh, I've done typescript node.js and java play framework projects interchangeably for the past two years and honestly there isn't much of a difference when it comes to velocity or code verbosity.

I think many people have a misconception of what modern java is. They still think java code is all this verbose monstrosity where every single thing requires massive amounts of boilerplate code. And yes, at one time it was that thing. But modern java isn't like that at all, with streams, collections, optionals and closures getting rid of much of the boilerplate.

For example, this is the entire body of the REST endpoint that fetches a drawing for a particular location in my current codebase. It wouldn't be any simpler had it been written in typescript.

return Drawing.getForLocation(id)
.map(d -> ok(Json.toJson(d)))
.orElse(notFound());
Just curious, do you have direct experience with big companies using R, python, etc in production? My sense from working with people from those companies (and a few internships at those companies) is that you could use something like R, matlab, or scikit-learn on your own workstation with a tiny data sample to explore the data, but then do crunching by translating that program into some Java or C++ code (sometimes using specialist libraries) and running that in parallel, for production.

Do people actually just skip that step and just directly deploy their R? That seems really scary.
> On the plus side, you do get a prize for suggesting it

Good catch! I actually use another command that generates binary output that I pipe to OpenSSL to convert to base64 but rather than type out the full command I thought 'what's the easiest way to get some binary data on stdout' and 'cat binaryfile' was it.
I think about this a lot. I worry that the people of yesteryear had a simpler and probably tougher life, but a more fulfilling one.

Like I always said, a cold beer on a hot day feels so much better when you know you've earned it. Today, do we feel we've earned that big TV, the big car, the free social housing? It's all faceless and non-creative.

Since last August, when I had a severe GERD issue that took six months to go away, I keep a very detailed daily journal of everything I eat, the time I eat it and any kind of symptoms it might be causing me even hours later. It's the best way, and probably the only one, to isolate foods that make my stomach upset. Now I can correlate symptoms with foods/hours and draw conclusions based on hard data. It has helped me a lot to fight GERD, even more than the drugs my gastroenterologist prescribed. So I guess I've hacked my own health in a way.
It amounts to a lack of community. Things like Facebook where people spend a stupid amount of their time, disconnect them from their local community and give them a false sense of healthy human relationships. How is it that somebody can have 1000 Facebook friends but not know their next door neighbor?
> If a programmer finds the need for NaN values, it indicates the program is not yet finished...

These guys have never allreduced a timestep in a simulation where something can go aphysical.

I mean, sure, one can communicate aphysical conditions using out-of-band means. But it is so pretty when it just rides along for free as a NaN result.

Edit: I stand corrected having looked up authors. I still think having float effectively be Maybe[float] is a feature not a bug.

TLDR; Elected and unelected officials in the U.S. government, including the president, have forgotten that they're "public servants" and would be well-served by an icon that offered them frequent reminders that their role is to do the will of the people.

OPINION: The great people of England voted for Brexit - The U.S. citizens voted for Trump. Both clearly represent that the populations are looking for a seachange - I'm not sure that advice from England to the U.S. or vice-versa will contain the wisdom that both countries need.

I guess, the inner clock is adjusted to that time because that's when the sun goes down in summer, and when melanin increases, because of changing light levels, we become sleepy.

Basically: The president clearly doesn't respect the people, so why not create a powerless figurehead they "have to" respect? Because obviously the UK is the model democracy everybody looks up to.

Obviously written tongue-in-cheek but I don't despise the idea of an annual chosen one to moderate some sort of state function or discussion. I've always thought it would be cool to have a presidential office hour where everyday I would meet with a randomly selected citizen (who asked for an hour) and give them a chance to voice their concerns and viewpoints to me, directly, in person. Also, there is 0 chance this would have been written a year or more ago, or if Hillary had won.

> This is not to say that NaNs are a good or bad method, but they're definitely not expensive to implement.

I saw him explain that in float, there a too many bit representations that amount to "NaN". According to a Stack Overflow I found:

"IEEE 754 standard defines 16,777,214 32-bit floating point values as NaNs, or 0.4% of all possible values."

That's "expensive" in terms of losing bits of expressiveness that could have been used to represent actual numbers.
