On what grounds do you say that?

Not necessarily disagreeing, I've never used YUI3, but I'd love to hear more about it.

I've recently been dabbling in Backbone and, frankly, I'm struggling with lack of documentation. A better documented "competitor" in this space would likely win me as a user.

I was hoping it would be Ember/Amber, or something to that extent, but that doesn't appear to be significantly better documented either.

What do you consider YUI's strengths / weaknesses vs. Backbone? (Please say documentation).

> Also, USA is the only country to ever drop a nuclear bomb on a city.

The peace we're enjoying now is a direct consequence of that. After the realization of the devastation, everyone suddenly lost the appetite for using those weapons again. Which is why there haven't been any nuclear bombs dropped on any living person in the last 70 years.

Interesting - this article blames Amazon, another blamed the iPad squeezing BB's margins. I say the blame lies with the clueless way these stores have been run for years. thehigherlife's anecdote about trying to buy a cable is a good example. Consider the insane irony of the name "Best Buy" in the context of that story.
Suffice it to say that any of the examples you find in those search results are examples of "fuck" being used as link bait.

Even the submissions with "fuck you money" in the title since that is a linkbait-y term unto itself. I am of the opinion that unless you're discussing the word 'fuck' there is almost no possible reason to use it in a title unless it's to attract clicks and votes by eliciting an emotional response.
I'm interested in hearing how their system is expected to work in adverse weather conditions. I doubt that the LIDAR system would work in rain and snow, ice and other hidden ground features might be a problem, and I wonder how well their radar works in these conditions too.
piep seems to be designed for quick processing on the command line. If you want to do something especially complicated, you can (and probably should) write a separate script for it.
It's about the startup scenario, because I'm living it.

I'm an early hire and took a pay cut in return for a tiny amount of equity. CEO is in fully and is taking home a very small salary. So every request for a raise is augmented with "well, I'm not making as much as you are".

You can only hear that so many times before the resumes go out.
As I understand it, most of BB's profit is from the markup on peripherals.. they make little to no profit on big box items

Edit: GeekSquad and warranties are the other profit makers
I don't really understand why so many people think that the results on DDG are worse than Google. Maybe I just don't search for things that other people do, or I search differently, but for me, I usually prefer the DDG results. Most of it has to do with the zero click info and the disambiguation. Especially the disambiguation. I get better results because most things I search for could be disambiguated, and I take full advantage of that to quickly give me just the results related to what I'm looking for.
Oh how insanely great. He makes sure those of us who don't believe that conspiracy gets treatment while those who do are forced to change their minds.

My designers need to work with my Rails apps

Then you should have noticed that installing rails is the least of your worries. Database seeds, missing dependencies, test-users, broken fixtures, broken mocks, missing external APIs, version control conflicts, gem screw-ups, failing migrations, rails upgrades, differences to the production setup. Those are the daily timesinks over here in the real world.

The initial rails installation doesn't even register in the grand scheme of things.

My basic thesis is Capitalism in Eastern Europe is not gonna work until solid property ownership system is established, until the property and the capital is protected [from corrupt statesmen] by law, and this protection is enforced in practice.

East-to-the-Poland nations can remain in this "half-assed capitalism" state forever, the transition is not gonna happen automatically.

Poverty is just a consequence of such conditions, so it will remain as is until transformation of juridical branch of government is over.
It's not just you :D

The way I see it working:

1. Go to homepage.

2. Find unanswered questions that you can answer and answer them. In the process, elaborate with the OP, to help as much as you can.

3. Go to 1 until you become efficient enough (maybe 3 mins max), to be the first to answer a detailed answer (Usually the easy questions get a lot of hots, since more people are trying to answer those, so try to be the first to answer).

4. Hope that the question police won't close the question as not real question (usually noobs at programming or just on specified tags AND super-noobs at English can not even describe / explain what the problem is, but you can figure it out for them). I spot a problem here: The whole deal is to help people with their problems. Even if their problems include poor English / programming skills. You can not reject them by saying: "Hey! Learn English and then we'll tell you the solution." or "Hey! Come back in 3 months, when you'll be a better coder, so that you can explain better what you need. Then we'll tell you the solution.". I think some moderators stick so much to the rules, that forget the original plan of helping the fellow coders.
5. Go to 1 for countless hours (currently on popular tags, such as PHP, Javascript, jQuery, HTML I calculated that I can increase my rep about 10 per hour, near-fail rate, right?). You have nothing to lose. Answering makes you better. If you get a few downvotes, then you'll start check and double check before answering.

And a few rules of the thumb:

FIFO: Usually the OP gives the correct answer to the person that answers first (As it should be).

Reputation goes to reputation: When there are 4 or 5 similar answers, the persons with the higher rep get the most upvotes (reasonable, but probably unfair).

Use an example: Even if the question goes like "should I use A or B to do this?" and you know that A is the way to go, you don't just answer "Use A". You will get downvoted. But if you answer "Use A. I would do it like this: ...", then you might get a few upvotes (insane for me, but considering that you are helping to build a knowledge base, I'd say tolerable).

Learn stuff: the more you know, the more questions you may answer (now we're getting somewhere).

Spend your valuable free time on answering questions: It is a very nice feeling to give back to a community that you got from (and usually you get multiple times what you give). And it is a very nice feeling to support a worldwide knowledge base for your profession. But, since you compete with other professionals, you have to devote a lot of time to stand out, not by being the best, but by being the best on answering questions (not the same and kind of lame).

Stop thinking "Hey!? Did I just work for free the past x hours?": You just helped someone else! And in the future more people will benefit from your answer! (some things are just priceless :D).

It's very common these days to take many amazing products for granted. Google search is an amazing tool that suffers a lot from very vocal complaints and not enough praise. The only areas it is lacking in are those that are heavily targeted by spammers.
Innocuous perhaps, but the real time net-nanny filters installed by IT don't know or care. I can't read the article because of the proliferation of blacklisted words. I can't even read the Hacker News comments about it because of all the discussion using the opportunity to use such blacklisted words. Had to switch to my own personal system & ISP just to make this comment. Whatever the quality of the article, however salient his point, a lot of people are blocked from reading it - never mind poignant commentary getting lost amid all the blather over whether or not a four letter word should be used.

Best Buy's historical strategy has been to make profits from accessories like cables. But they have been doing it wrong in the past 5 years. They should be using these accessories to drive foot traffic.

Best Buy can sell products or services. They obviously cant sell products (for a profit), and their services kind of suck. But they need to do one or the other, and they need to do it great. Amazon and company has them beat on selling products. They need to focus all their energy on selling services.

Best Buy's current strategy is borrowed time. A shame the employees get to suffer through shitty (mis)management like this.

Because, AFAIK, CSP is defined by synchronous message passing:

- CSP message-passing fundamentally involves a rendezvous between the processes involved in sending and receiving the message, i.e. the sender cannot transmit a message until the receiver is ready to accept it.

- Programs in the original CSP were written as a parallel composition of a fixed number of sequential processes communicating with each other strictly through synchronous message-passing.

- The PAT process language extends CSP with support for ..., asynchronous message passing, ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_sequential_proces...

GHC's IO, Erlang, and Gevent are not implementations of CSP. Go is, though, which makes me wonder if Go is not a good tool to implement distribution in if they added inter-vm channels.

It's a gimmick to attract attention. It's the verbal equivalent of Ozzy Osborne biting the head off of a bird on TV, except lamer.
I have never had that problem, and in general I don't think it's a real thing. IMO, this is the same sort of thinking that makes people say, "Oh, I had this business idea that I really liked, but I found out there was already a company doing what I wanted to do, so I went back to the drawing board."

There's nothing wrong with answering a question that already has answers if you feel like you still have something to add. Very often those first few rushed answers to a question are either wrong or confusing. Don't be one of those people. Just write an answer in your own time and it will get votes if it's any good. I've gone into questions where an answer is already accepted and highly upvoted, but I felt like the accepted answer was fundamentally on the wrong track, so I wrote my own and it got highly upvoted and accepted.

Ok, one way to do interpretation is to do a loop like

while True:
instr = decode_instruction(pc)
execute_instruction(instr)

Where execute instruction is usually a big switch that has every opcode on it, or, in my case, is a call to a function in a table whose indices are opcodes.

The problem is you decode the same instructions many times (in a loop, for instance). A slight more elaborated version is like this:

while True:
if not pc in cached_code:
block = generate_block(pc)
cached_code[pc] = block
run_from_cache(pc)

The generate_block function decodes and generates code for every instruction until it finds a jump. When it finds it, it finishes up that block, which is then added to the cache.

Now, whenever there is a jump to an address that is in the cache, the cached code can be executed directly.

Finally, the captures up to three backwards jumps thing:

My first try was to have the cached code just be a regular function call without loops. So a block of code is executed and then control is given back to the main loop.

But a significant number of jumps have targets that are inside the same block of code (anything you run on a loop, for instance). So, to get better performance, I generate, for my block of code, a function that has a loop in it.

It has a rather characteristic look:

function code_block(cs) { // cs is the "cpu state"
var count = 0;
cs.next_pc = BLOCK_START;
block_loop: while(++count < 3) {
count++;
block_choice: switch(cs.next_pc) {
case BLOCK_START: cs.r0 = cs.r0 ^cs.r0;
case BLOCK_START+4: // regular instructions fall through
case CONDITIONAL_BRANCH_ADDR:
if(branch_condition) {
cs.next_pc = BRANCH_TARGET;
break block_choice; // this captures backwards jumps targeting the block
}
case UNCONDITIONAL_BRANCH_ADDR:
cs.next_pc = BRANCH_TARGET;
default: break block_loop;

}
}
}

The "captures up to three backwards jumps things" is controlled by the ++count < 3 loop condition. 3 was obtained by trial and error and looks like a good number for my machine (I could, for instance, put 100 in there, but then my javascript functions would take too much time to return and the javascript engines don't like this).
When/if Amazon is forced to start collecting sales tax I they'll start selling items locally. They already have a number of distribution centers and I bet people would happily drive out to them to get a product today.

Humans have repurposed viral mechanisms for gene therapy, so this is actually untrue.

In addition, "germ theory" and early science related to antibiotics and widespread misinformation led people to think all microbes were bad. Now people realize that that we have flora on the outside and inside of our bodies that are helpful and part of our body's ecosystem. Viruses will likely in the future be understood to do more than just hurt us and introduce genetic mutations.
qi and za are recent additions to the Scrabble dictionary, but in any reasonable friendly word game they wouldn't count because they're not in common usage. IMHO they also significantly changed the gameplay of Scrabble for the worse by making it much easier to get rid of the z and q tiles.
Although it may be seen as a little unusual, it is nice to see someone who has succeeded financially pay thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own money in order to inspire, encourage, and strengthen the spirits of children who are in the hospital- many of which are seriously or even terminally ill. Mr. Robinson demonstrates the benevolence that should be seen as a responsibility of those who have attained financial success and does so in a very creative way. You can't question this persons heart to see to it that a child who is suffering is given a bright-spot in their day, and a highlight of their life by a visit from a super-hero- Batman.

An interesting comment from Reddit:

"Roughly 5-7 years ago Best Buy was competing with another company called.. Circuit City. One of the ways they were making sure they kept market share was whenever Circuit City was putting in a bid to open a store somewhere, Best Buy would bid higher and put a store in that exact same location. This caused Best Buy to open a lot of stores that were close to other Best Buy's (roughly 3-6 miles in some cases), but they just wanted to make sure Circuit City didn't get market share.

Fast forward to now, the leases on those stores ending and Best Buy is not renewing them. The store isn't very profitable as it could be because there is another one not too far down the road.

What that article also fails to mention is Best Buy is also going to open an additional 100 stores, two different types (Mobile stores in malls and community stores in smaller markets). Both of these types of stores are much smaller, cost less to run but typically are very profitable due to cell phone sales.

Am I a Best Buy employee? Obviously yes. Do I speak for the company? Nope. Do I plan on working here the rest of my life? Of course not. Just trying to be a bit more accurate than the chicken little the sky is falling that is mentioned in this article is all."
