I think the main difference is in scope: to use node, you basically write code as you normally would in JavaScript, which is not entirely dissimilar to languages almost everybody is familiar with. It is different, but not by much. Writing a program, particularly anything interesting, in a language like Haskell is entirely dissimilar from anything most people have used. F# is probably also like this, but I'm not familiar enough with it to be sure.

The point of trivial examples like quicksort is just to illustrate the fundamental differences--mostly advantages--of using functional languages. Using a functional language will change every aspect of your code, so even examples like this are illustrative while being simple enough to fade into the background.

Languages like Haskell do have a ton of cool features, but they are all overshadows by how different they are. Once the fundamental differences are thoroughly explained, other goodies can emerge. For example, look at snap, a really fast web framework for Haskell. It's even faster than node.
And who will be cleaning up all this mess?

Have you noticed that almost all Wikipedia articles are formatted in uniform way, categorized, templatified, infoboxed, interlinked, divided into sections, etc? Almost all contributions from new Wikipedians contain none of these things, and they all require to be cleaned up by someone more experienced. Contrary to what some people here say, this is the real problem, the difficulty of learning the technicalities of Wikipedia, and not policies. We believe that everyone has to read the most important policies, but not everyone should be forced to learn the Wikipedia markup and other technical stuff. This is what the Wikimedia Foundation works on, not on trivializing the policies.

Microsoft is the employer of two of the developers for the GHC compiler. Microsoft certainly has technologies related to Haskell such as F#. Also, a lot of the ideas for the new features of C# are based on the research and experience they've gained with Haskell. Linq, Lambda's, Task Parallel Framework etc.
Just because you find it easy doesn't mean others do, agreed there's an initial learning curve to everything in life but we (current Wikipedia contributors) could be doing a lot more to smooth that curve for less technically minded people who want to contribute.

We could also be doing more to make the basics of the rules clearer.
And now are attempting to fix it. Perhaps that puts them one step ahead.

C is the rate that the battery can be discharged (or charged). A rate of 17C suggests the battery can be fully discharged in 1/17 hours. The actual current/power this produces is dependent on the battery itself.

And I think that people should understand that just any degree doesn't mean they will be employable after they graduate.

Sadly, I suspect this is just a pipe dream. Here in the UK we have the same problem the Chinese are facing - people doing bullshit degrees because they need the letters after their names. The Govt. here are even encouraging it.

As some of the other commentators are pointing out this is an already-effective scheme in China which has been used to cut some of those useless degrees.

Calling it an 'Everlasting Battery Material' seems a little bit misleading... Even the first paragraph acknowledges that it has a potentially useable life of 30 years as opposed to forever, and as with all batteries, it would depend on how it is used.

People need to be particularly careful about exaggerations particularly when talking about science, because if the public finds out that they exaggerated, even if it was for completely noble purposes, it diminishes the credibility of the field, something we saw in particular in the field of climate change.

"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Nepal trekking, trekking in nepal
Trekking in Nepal is popular adventure to explore the heritage of mountain rich Himalayan country. On beaten trails around Nepalese himalaya, Nepal is a trekker's paradise in the world. The organic rhythm of foot travel is a wonderful way to explore and make meaningful contact with the country. Trekking usually consists of a series of ascents and descents walking 5 to 7 hours (9 to 14 kms per day on average with a guide, cook and porters and on some occasions pack animals.

I'm guessing that this is more of a seminar-type class rather than a standard core CS course. It's very specialized and narrow and doesn't really fit into a standard CS education. I suspect the professor just really wanted to teach it, as opposed to the department deeming it a necessary part of the curriculum. Also, at my school classes starting with 19- are usually either seminars, student-taught or in "beta"; the numbering at Stanford might be similar.

As an aside, some of these classes can be really awesome. Some nice examples at my school have included a popular cloud class and--particularly epic--a Starcraft-AI class. These are definitely not part of our core curriculum, but they are nice complements to staples like introduction to AI (the prerequisite for the Starcraft course).
Love to meet up sometime, heard of supermondays? http://www.supermondays.org/ Its a tech meetup for designers/developers/entrepreneurs You might like it.

I have just finished a masters in bioinformatics with a phd soon to follow. I think there are many problems that can be solved in bioinformatics with a different take on things using graphics algorithms like quad trees for spatial partition of microarrays for example. But many people I meet in this field come from a biological background first then learn computer science which seems a bit rigid.

With huikea, why would you want to do something in bioinformatics? The game looks very interesting btw

MS does have some technology related to Haskell (F# comes to mind immediately). However, I think Microsoft Research is also fairly academic--they are an actual research institution rather than an R&D lab. They are not at all afraid of very theoretic research with little regard for short-term profit. Which is really awesome.

The lesson is that you are learning _sales_.

You are learning what does and does not work. When you try that with a real project (ie your business) you will have already learned a lot from repeatedly selling an ipod using different methods on ebay.

I hate to have to point this out but we nerds no longer have the internet to ourselves, they let the rest of the world in and for good or bad, not everyone knows the rules; that's not their problem, that's Wikipedias unless we want the community to wither and die.

Wikipedia's supposed to be open to all and there's nothing that says an expert (in some obscure field we have no knowledge of) is also going to have the same understanding and experience of online communities as us.

It's nothing to do with UI/UX bias and more to do with looking at the processes we currently have from the perspective of someone who isn't us and doesn't have the same knowledge/understanding we do.

Wikipedia at the moment presents it's self as one thing 'an encyclopedia anyone can edit' but attempting to do so can be a daunting and labyrinthine process that does put people off. We're not practicing what we preach.

TL;DR - Go easier on the N00Bs and build a better FAQ.

I love the idea, but conceptual and economically, I find the idea of using one sensor in a multisensor device on a long term basis problematic. I'd prefer a modular system where I can provide a wifi base module with specific sensors as required through plugin parts.

Lovely project in any case.
SOPA won't stop the internet, it will merely force it underground.
I was arguing that non-strict destructuring is bad, so this code IMHO should throw exception:

a,b,c=[1,2,3,4]

The reason for this is - if you assume array has 3 elements, but it has more, your code will silently ignore the rest. You'll have to write your assertion every time you destructure, to be sure that destructuring don't ignore data. The exceptional case IMHO is when you need to ignore data, and so code for this case should be uglier, not the other way around. You are right that catching exception for regular code path isn't the best way, but at least programmer intention is clear then.

You could also do

a,b,c = list.slice(0,3);

which copies the array, but at least it's clear what it assumes about the array. And it can be easily modified to get last 3 values, or 3 values from the middle of list. So no need for 2 idioms depending on which items you want to get from the array.
yes...and thats why regular exercise helps a lot!...the body and mind are more inter-dependent than we think!

Whilst it seems like a good idea to install Ubuntu on other peoples computers there are 4 things that would stop me from doing it.

1) Flash player, this crashes allot under Linux and seems to have some weird issues with sound where you will be listening to a video and all of a sudden the sound will start playing from the beginning of the video in addition to the current sound.

2) Wifi , this generally works, but Network Manager doesn't seem to be the best piece of software and I've often had problems with it just not showing up wireless networks which should be there. No idea why.

3) Distro updates, you have to live in fear of the time when they will accidentally or intentionally click the "update to latest ubuntu" button when it asks and half the drivers stop working and/or it replaces their whole user interface with something else.

4) Other software , even if your sure they only need a browser because all they want to do is read the news and browse cookery sites there's going to be some point they decide to buy an ipod and ring you up asking how to install iTunes, sure you could go and spend some time coaching them how to do this under banshee or something but they might be concerned about why they have to do this differently.
Of course they are also likely to buy the 1 scanner / webcam / printer etc that is known not to play well with Linux.

Problem with laser is fog ...

In my student dorm, we used that to connect to the University network (which was a km or two across ...)

We would not get any internet by foggy weather :)

Actually, that was always something funny to say ... "We have internet by laser" then people would go "wow" ... and then you say "and it doesn't work when there is fog" and then suddenly, all the "wow" goes away :D

I was going to try participating in this discussion, but instead I'm just going to say:

Wow, as a computer scientist, most of the comments in these kinds of discussions leave me disheartened and embarrassed with the arrogance ("useless", etc.) of my fellow technical folks. A discussion about where to allocate graduates makes sense, but the kind of unjustifiably arrogant invective here doesn't.

I think people might want to look at whether their house is made of glass a bit more as well, before denigrating "useless" historians and throwing around phrases like "contributes to the country's advancement". Is the webapp you're working on really a great contribution to society? Is Zynga producing value that will move our civilization forward?
The statement was not intended to be rude

It comes off as a euphemism for much shorter phrase. Perhaps you didn't intend to be rude, but you failed to be polite.

Ignorant of what

(Exactly.) You've made assumptions and pinned them to me. I'd set you straight but I don't actually want to continue this conversation. Sorry it didn't work out.
One should also discuss their revenue streams. Here in Sweden, we pay 99 SEK (about 14USD) each month, and I learned yesterday that the artists only get 5 SEK from that 99 SEK. 60 SEK goes to the record companies...

Site seems a bit unreliable to me, timing out, so here's the original research PDFs that the article is based on

PrimeSense doesn't make devices, they just build the sensor and SDK.

Asus has licensed the sensor for a Kinect-like product for PCs, but it's still not available off-the-shelf. It also won't work with the existing free Kinect drivers, so porting will be needed to switch to the Asus.
There is a newer paper than the one described in the linked article available (http://www.csc.kth.se/~gkreitz/spotify-p2p11/) that has some interesting measurements on the network.
If you push on the supply side without pulling on the demand side, you're going to squash a lot of liberal arts majors against the wall. As a society, we are probably employing more academics than ever: more historians, more philosophers, more classicists, more literature critics. But we are producing even more graduates and graduate students who there are fundamentally not enough positions for, later on up the pipeline. And the typical English BA who works as a barista doesn't necessarily produce lots of poetry or anything on their free time.

Poets and writers today, and throughout time, live unique, often impoverished existences without necessarily being part of an academic establishment or having relevant education. Or they make tons of money selling dramatic scripts to the masses. If Shakespeare were alive today he'd be a screenwriter.
So basically he want's a "4-Chan Party Van" launch button, and he want's to put it in the hands of pre-pubescent teenagers with an axe to grind?

Do it! Please God let this happen. Let someone's totally brain dead idea happen so it completely buries them because they were too blinded by their own petty hates and stupidity that they couldn't even think one step ahead.

I think the best way to deal with people like Joe Lieberman is to give them everything they ask for.
A solution looking for a problem. My regular machine is a MBP, so I'm no stranger to the "damn I wish I had more USB ports" problem.

But I have never, ever, ever, thought "dammit! If only I could plug more USB memory sticks into this infernal machine!"

In fact, the only time I'm ever using a USB stick is to sneaknet some files to someone else (because in the year 2011 we have yet to figure out quick, painless filesharing with people you're physically near by. though Dropbox is starting to get ubiquitous enough...), and that hardly requires more than one USB port.
> I want to live in your utopian world, where people get educations just because.

You're welcome, we call it Sweden.

Higher education is free (before this year it was even free for non-swedes), and you get a stipend to pay for food/rent as long as you keep passing courses.

I know someone who's about to get a physics degree and is going to go into bartending afterwards since it seems more fun. I also know people who get education after education (stuff like psychology, history) while they figure out what they want to do.
Unless you want to attach a hard drive to the end of the line, power should be no big problem. I can't imagine the power requirements of a USB hub being that big.
> Would the directories on each disk be merged together into one root directory, would each one get its own directory, or something else?

Due to the way most modern filesystems (including all filesystems that windows supports) work, the only clean way to implement this is to have each segment appear as a separate drive. The operating system only sees the drive as a block-level device, so the drive doesn't know anything about folders or files. It just sees binary data.

You could implement a virtual block-level device on the device, and read files from that to write to each segment, but that would be a major performace hit, and push the cost up significantly as each segment would need a processor and a few megabytes of ram.

The only other way I can think of would be a custom driver.

I think the most interesting question here will be how will they account for people who don't end up working in the subject area they studied. There are tons of those in the west, I can't imagine it's very different in the east. How would those stats be calculated and would it hurt or help certain majors? Sadly, not a lot of info available.
So it hopes to become an alarm system for everything, not just robbery and fire. The smartphones are replacing specialized devices like cameras and music players, so maybe there's an opportunity for a generalized alarm system. People want to listen their babies, prevent kids from going to the pool alone, and this anti-flooding alarm seems quite unique too. Certainly the pods should alert us when the batteries are empty, and it should be an install-and-forget type of thing.

We'll see if it's the iPhone or the Newton of alarms systems.
