Personally, I love the __names__, as they instantly identify magic methods and there are never naming conflicts. Contrast this with Java where a newcomer might name their own method toString() or readObject() by accident.
I'm not sure if it's a recommendation engine they need, but they do need a better way to find subreddits. IMO some sort of a map might work better than a rec engine. Or even just a quick way to see what subreddits another user subscribes to.
All Android sales are potentially a double sale.

If the app-making was free. You forgot the "opportunity cost".

Android has a majority market share on phones and iPad has a (overwhelming) majority market share in tablets.

Yes, but does Android have a majority market share on apps sold? From what I have heard, I don't think so.

They just have a majority market share in phones because even people who don't care about a smart phone or apps get an Android phone for free with their contract. Whereas iPhone users are more picky in general about the phone they get, and more prone to fork out for apps. (Notice how I said "in general" --nerds are a small minority of smart phone buyers).

Thanks :)

"but technically the IP address and result could be stored without there being a relation between them?"

Technically the answer is yes. We've deliberately made it very difficult (along with not out and out storing the data). All of this is a little academic though - If you wanted to compile a list of targets you'd just do the scans yourself... It'd be million times faster and easier than trying to hack it out of us.
> The number of females with medical histories (an important distinction from "pre existing condition! My daughter is perfectly healthy, but had a seizure [we think from a drug reaction] when she was four, and...) who are thus uninsurable on the private market is not small.

If she's had continuous insurance, she's not uninsurable.

As I wrote, in many states, insured people can't be turned down when they want to switch.
That's being put together... It'll be up in 20mins or so.
Chrome extension for auto-removing utm_* from URLs
You can get one of those from System76. The 14" Lemur Ultra looks like what you may want, though I'm not really sure if that's an ultrabook. Their price is among the best (if not _the_ best). https://www.system76.com/laptops/model/lemur
“AI-Driven Dynamic Dialog” at GDC 2012
Quite possibly, though I never really saw any true use of the 2D space, it was either just 1D structures lined up next to each other so that you could see them simultaneously, or a frustrating 2D mimicry of an actual database with sorted fields and the like. I'd really like to try Pandas or similar, that might also help a switch to 2D :)
Paperwork goof may mean Kim DotCom can reclaim assets
I still haven't heard a good reason why universities are switching away from Scheme...

I'm not one to claim "we must follow the old ways" just for the hell of it. I can understand the desire to look out at the world of programming languages (which is much larger today than it was when Scheme was invented), but there was a reason to pick Scheme for the original: it's simple.

Python, with its "batteries included" philosophy is a poor choice because it misses the original intent. With Scheme, you have to invent everything. With Python, you just have to look up the documentation.

Honestly, I can't for the life of me understand why they didn't replace Scheme with Lua.
it's been a long time but I seem to recall some software actually had localized shortcuts, e.g. find&replace dialog was ctrl+T in the italian version of MS Word, which I think makes sense for the naming "trova" but I'd expect to be different in the original version.
But maybe MS Office is special (cfr: localized VBA syntax)

Sadly, checking now on my girlfriends' QWERTZ+Hungarian version of MS Office it seems it's ctrl+F notwithstanding the sheer lack of an F in "Keresés".
Is there any research about learning speech and sign language simultaneously?
Last December I bought a ASUS U31 (U31SD-A1 Intel Core i3 2310M 2.10GHz 13.3" 4GB Memory 640GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M) and I absolutely love it. I don't know if the same model is available but I would definitely look into it if you can find it. For Linux I use Mint and you although it uses the Optimus stuff for video bumblebee works great. You don't need to run in NVidia mode to get 3D effects either I only use bumblebee to turn it off. I get 10hours+ of battery life, the keyboard is awesome (chicklet style). I did replace the internal drive with an SSD drive which makes it boot much faster, less than 5 seconds. Also dual boot windows for games and the NVidia graphics are great for that.

EDIT: removed some of my !!!!s since they made this sound like it was written by a teenage girl. (I really do love this laptop)
There's nothing inherent in e-ink that makes it less stressful than a backlit display. Photons are photons, whether they are reflected from a light bulb or the sun to the book and then your eyes, or they are send from a led behind the screen to your eyes.

Some early e-ink manufactures used to claim that e-ink is better than backlit for the eyes, but they retracted those claims because there was no scientific evidence behind them.

You just need to set the brightness of the iPad appropriately, to match what the relative brightness of an e-ink reader would be. You can also adjust the colors, i.e have a sepia background etc.

Battery life and reading in the sun is indeed much better with e-ink devices, though.
How do many or most women feel about women's fashions and how they fit on the average woman?

Is that a problem with cotton?

How do most people feel about battery life on an iPad compared to an iPhone or droid?

Is that a problem with batteries?

The problem is in design and marketing, designing women's clothes for stick figures and boys, and designing and marketing the thinnest phones ever.

Would you prefer a) the phone you have now, or b) the phone you have now but 1/8" thicker and with a battery that lasted 30% - 50% - 100% longer that you didn't have to baby?

Whatever happened to "form follows function"?

Negative filtering would be a disaster. The power users do most of the voting and almost all of the reporting. If they all could block Ron Paul, those stories wouldn't get downvoted and, when offtopic, reported. This would cause the Ron Paul stories to take over the site for the 99% of users who wouldn't be using the filter.
It's amazing to watch how hard the author fights in the comments to keep his thesis ("never use IDs in CSS") intact, in the face of very sound reasoning that shows his position to be too strict.
God yes. Who decided 'thinnest phone ever' was something to aim for? Nobody asked me...
I wonder if having multiple tablets so that we didn't have to switch apps so much to take notes would render paper obsolete.

Where does the assumption that we mostly use paper to take "notes" from things we read in other computer media come from?

Imagine a student with three tablets open side by side, one in a note app, one in a textbook app and a third one for other apps.

And why not imagine just one tablet with note-taking integrated or a way to switch between apps momentarily?

It's not like you don't already divert your eyes and attention from the physical book to the paper you take notes in in order to take a note. So, why have two tablets?

Also why the third tablet? If the student is studying some textbook and keeping notes, why would he have other apps open? So he could destroy his attention span?
That's close to the system I would advocate. But it's hard to get something like that right, and until this past year, reddit never had the manpower for such a huge project.
The Sad and Infuriating Mike Daisey Case
Testing is a pain and it takes time. Plus, we don't always even find the bugs. But if you write unit tests or want to start unit testing, Typemock's newest release (released last Monday) makes unit testing easy and finds the bugs for you. http://www.typemock.com
Nice piece of Rails code. The new admin is rather good.
Seconded. The university I'm attending uses PeopleSoft (acquired by Oracle) as their ERP system, and it's horrendous. Not a week goes by where I don't hear students and faculty members openly complain about it.

I've got a live PeopleSoft installation running on a server in my apartment that I'm outfitting with code to do exactly what you mentioned - split out the back-end from the front-end. So far it's going brilliantly - for some sadistic reason, I enjoy trying to reduce the complexities of these applications.
High-end blueray player scam: Oppo on the Inside, Lexicon on the Outside
As we know, there are 3 types of authentication

Something you know (dob, password)
Something you have (bank card, key)
Something you are (biometric measurement ie fingerprint)

Surely a biometric measurement on it's own is secure enough? Its also the simplest.

Something I've noticed from working in banking security is that asking fixed answer questions (something that doesn't change) quickly detects possible unauthorised access attempts. e.g it's deeply suspicious if someone forgets their dob.

Asking questions that have flexible answers results in lots of incorrect answers by genuine account holders & resets are required frequently. Questions like favourite place, first school, age (yes, believe it or not blackberry uses a fixed age not dob!) should not be used.

> Dictionaries, lists, tuples and other structures also demand names.

Those are just names for values though, we don't have to create a name for a new general principle just to use one.

Not to mention values often do not need names at all, in an expression oriented style where function calls are composed.
Every time I use Grand Central Dispatch on Mac OS X, I get the feeling that "C99 + Blocks" is actually a pretty great language for many things, and I'd love to use it on other platforms.

The myth of the lone genius
Except for the first statement on the page that it is derived from SICP, of course.
well, a designer that needs to edit html/css sound like a part of a full-design-stack solution to me. which means he does edit it for a non trivial amount of time, so something like TextMate or Coda might fit the bill pretty well. If you are doing anything in a professional capacity (i.e. getting payed for it) then even a very slight improvement in productivity will pay for it self almost immediately when we are talking about a 50$ price tag.
I don't think I could code with something like this, the elements of the interface keep moving, things slide in and slide out all the time, it's just too distracting. I guess people used to IDE who constantly nag you like Eclipse might like it.
This is great news. Seizure laws are terrible. The ability of a government to destroy a business without due process should not be permitted (especially a foreign government). It's unfortunate that the ruling is based on a technicality.

I find all caps much more horrid than __foo__. Welcome to the bikeshed.
Considering the price ultrabooks are being sold for, I'd suggest a Macbook Air. From their spec sheet, they should be well supported and they are exceedingly well built and the screen is the best 13" out there.

I must admit, however, I'm not convinced by this ultrabook "trend". It looks a lot like PC makers got tired to compete in price in the netbook range and wanted to beef up the hardware a little and increase their margins. For that, however, they had to invent a new category.
Solution to fuelvm keygenme
I'd argue that the audited security of OpenSSH is better than most VPN solutions.
Beware of touchpads with multi-touch and integrated buttons (a.k.a. "clickpads"). A lot of laptops nowadays seem to have these MacBook-esque touchpads, and especially ultrabooks since they're often trying to mimic Apple products. But driver support for PC clickpads in Linux is hit and miss. Often you'll find it very frustrating to perform right clicks and drag-and-drop operations. Cutting-edge distros like Ubuntu 12.04 finally include rudimentary support for clickpads, but my experience in a non-ultrabook clickpad-enabled laptop was far from ideal even with the 12.04 beta.
I have one that's roughly 11x17 and not mounted to anything. Works great!
Not an ultra; but I was looking for something similar, I think to what you were looking for.

Small, but still useable, light, fast, good build quality and hopefully cheap.

I did a alot of research and watched slickdeals.com regularly for deals and ended up with an Asus 1215b with an E-350 processor. It comes with 2gb of ram, but I put another 4gb stick (22$) to bring it to 6; and replaced the hard drive with an ssd ($100).

all in all I have about 450 bucks into it and it's great. Everything works in linux; but graphic drivers aren't quite upto snuff. With windows 720p played fine; on linux it is sometimes jumpy; even with hardware acceleration.

It has no optical drive (a feature for me). It also has usb 3.0 which was a must-have for me.

Main downside is that the touchpad has a flaw and you have to fix it yourself. If you are going to put in an SSD anyway (and you should/have to) you will beable to fix it while you are doing that. Otherwise its like a 5-10 minute fix depending on how comfortable you are taking apart laptops.

The other big downside is that replacing the hard drive voids the warranty (or at least, you have to break through a sticker that says if tthis sticker is broken the warranty is void).

But all in all I am super happy with this laptop. The function keys work, the wireless is solid; with an SSD it boots up in seconds; everything is lightning fast. Only a dual 1.6 ghz so if you are doing lots of heavy compiling it isn't probably not for you.

I have not done much gaming on it; I have played a little bit of heroes of newerth on ultra low settings and it was playable.
> This phone has the best battery life of any I've used to this point. I come home at night with plenty of battery left.

This is the singularly, most unbelievable thing I experience with my "new" smartphone (iPhone 3GS). I was used to going 1-2 weeks without charging my dumb phone -- Now I have to think about it every 1-2 days. My smart phone is great for internet, and is great as a phone; as long as I charge it every night.
I think this is fairly interesting, it would be cool to explore combining this with visual block style stream processing like Max MSP or pd or vvvv, etc.
How about the touchpad? Because on a Macbook Pro + Ubuntu, the touchpad is sucks.
bah.. Ebook is some Adobe DRM format, that I would venture is unusable in GNU/Linux.
Yes, we'd inevitably end up with c on cails.

You and jules provided excellent examples for how to do my example without classes - but you do assume that the csv parser never needs to peek across lines. That's probably fine for csv files, but in general, lexers/parsers may need to. My point is, you're taking advantage of the fact that files are already objects which can be processed line by line. You can't always do this. I think that things like files and sockets are very nice to have as objects.
X220 is a great line, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Linux notebook with better hardware support. It can also get extremely competitive battery life with a little bit of kernel tweaking.

I use a Toshiba z830, and it works brilliantly under Ubuntu, I can assume it does as well with other Linux distributions.
I think your prototype is interesting and probably a step in the right direction, though perhaps not practical until it is fleshed out more.

I think this would be an interesting approach for a language that has Hindley-Milner type inference (like Haskell or OCaml.)

Then you could build an interface that makes it impossible to write a program that can't compile. In that case, the cost:benefit of such a UI might be most favorable.

(Update: Typed Racket might be a good target for your UI, since it has both a Lisp-like syntax and a robust typing system http://docs.racket-lang.org/ts-guide/)
The X220 is the nicest non-Apple small laptop I've seen in a while.

It can also take an mSATA SSD, so you can load it up with a big spinning disk for media storage, and a small boot SSD for the OS/apps/etc.

Uh... what? I don't think he's ignorant or naive. Jiminy. You can disagree with an idea casually around here, right?
"Ultrabook" currently specifically refers to a system with a Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge based ULV CPU, all of which have integrated on-die GPUs.

Re the announced system: interesting - does Optimus work on Linux these days then? Last time I checked, the GPU on Optimus systems was dormant on Linux.
In Washington State, yes. Not in New York or Illinois or Michigan.
I'm skeptical that they could have deliberately done something wrong just hoping it wouldn't get noticed. This is a very high-profile case; they would be expecting a lot scrutiny.
I learned a lot from Quake 1. QuakeC [1] was not object oriented, although it had one struct type: an entity. The entity struct had function pointers that were used to attach handlers for various events (touch, think, etc.), but there weren't methods per say, or a class hierarchy. The code was very procedural. You could not define new types, and could only make limited modifications to the entity struct's definition.

This restriction was often frustrating, but limited types meant the language was very approachable for beginners. Once a programmer understood the entity and its attributes, they knew what they had to work with. They only needed to find interesting ways to transform data, not interesting ways to organize data.

While sometimes frustrating, the simple type system rarely limited the creativity of developers. This is evident in the wealth of mods that were created for the game. People built Diablo style RPGs [2] with it, racing games [3], and much more.

In Quake's sequels, the modding system grew more flexible (and also more complex). The number of mods seemed to decrease. The amount of mod content for Quake 2 was less than 1, and Quake 3's was far less than 2. The mods that were released were often far more polished, but I think this is representative of the skill level and determination that was required to actually build mods for those games.

Garry's Mod [4] is only modern game I've seen with a similar level of successful modding activity. It also uses a scripting language (Lua). Garry's Mod defines a strict set of structs that you use to interact with the host game engine (effects, entities, tools, and weapons). It feels very Quake-like.

I personally feel like these kinds of restrictions create flatter code, and structure that is easier to hold in my head. I find myself concentrating more on features, rather than on code organization.
