hi check this it will be superior.
They don't support VBA directly.

I've always used Excel to publish result data to a spreadsheet rather than the entire thing. Data collection is done using InfoPath so you get the following workflow:

[www:InfoPath Office 365] -> [dt:Excel]-> [www:Excel report on Office 365]

It depends on your use case. I'd be tempted to use a sharepoint list with a custom report for anything more complicated.
I'm sorry about that. That's weird. Is it just that page? How about other ones? Also I would appreciate it if you could tell me your browser and computer environment. That would help in debugging. Thanks!

Stylus is a nice concept, but when I found some issues or limitations, which is not unreasonable for a young project, it was not always obvious how it should actually work.

SASS is a more mature project with a solid design.
For the digital copy to not notice the transition, there would probably have to be more going on—like a Matrix-esque simulation of the physical world or a realistic android to house the copy.

Sorry, no, it doesn't explain it at all! I already know COM+ is delivered on Windows 2000 and above. But the TPC benchmark table talks about AIX, which is a Unix, not Windows! Why do they say AIX, not Windows if they're running COM+?
You certainly have a point, I just too often came across projects updated 1 year ago or earlier with 50 forks and any further support in there. Maybe code hosting providers could by default hide from the project page the ones that haven't contributed anything (I know they won't do it, they like the big numbers).

I also work in a similar lab as a phd student. Kevinalexbrown's points are spot on. Currently, the main challenges for implementing this clinically are

1) stability of the electrode array over long timescales.

2) increasing the number of degrees of freedom of robust control that we can decode from the neural data. Activity in the motor cortex inherently lives in a (very) roughly 10 dimensional space, which is a bit of a mystery since we use thy activity to control hundreds of muscles independently. What this means, is that when you record from 96 electrodes simultaneously, many of the neurons picked up by the array are correlated, such that the resulting dimensionality is much lower than the number of neurons

3) An important step forward will be to develope optogenetic (or other) sensory write in, using pulses of light to activate neutrons in specific patterns that mimic priprioceptive signals from your limbs. This will increase the speed and robustness of movent via faster closed loop feedback.

4) Processing power. Currently it's typical to run decoders on real-time PC's. Creating an embedded processor capable of sufficiently low power operation with enough processing power to run the decode is non-trivial, especially if you want to implant this in the brain.

It is very unlikely, as suggested elsewhere, that current web tech will impact BMI research at all. The primary interesting tech is in the decode algorithm, which is a modified form of the Kalman filter. There is, however, a lot of room for hackers in research. I recently made the switch from working in defense, building robots and designing sensor fusion algorithms, to a phd in neuroscience. Probably won't pay as well long term, but it's far more rewarding and interesting! I'm surrounded by scientists that need better (software and hardware) tools and analysis methods. Also, an infusion of ideas and values aligned with open access publishing (or changing the scientific publishing model altogether), open source software, data and code sharing, etc. would generally benefit all and accelerate scientific research, but that's another topic worthy of more discussion elsewhere.
I think others are stupid. Oh noes, I guess I'm the stupid one then.

Jokes apart, there's a consistent pattern in how I judge intellect. The people who I consider smart get logic. Some of them do it intuitively; Some of them are familiar with formal theory. The most common logical error made by those I consider stupid is a non-sequitur [1] Ex: "He doesn't use vim. He must be stupid". The biggest mistake you can make is judge people by knowledge, rather than intelligence. Ex: "A is really good at programming. He's definitely more intelligent than B who's a singer"

Its a good choice for serious projects. Nobody serious would ever bother with complaining about the low-level nature of the MOAI runtime without understanding its design.

Having done 5 projects in MOAI so far, I can tell you this: what you are isolating as a fault is actually a very big strength. If I need it, I can drill down and have absolute control over the Quads. If I don't need it -big deal, I isolate into higher-level abstract API's, and away we go.

I really don't think you're looking at it fairly, or professionally. If you want a higher-level API, choose Corona or something else. If you want serious power, there is nothing out there better than MOAI.
Should we really blame individuals for 'evading taxes' when it is not illegal? Instead why don't we just give some respect to those who actually do still continue paying taxes (like Zuckerberg) who could probably escape more if they wanted to.

The real problem for the democratic welfare state is a global system that makes it easy to avoid tax by moving to a tax haven. That is not any individual's fault...
No it isn't. Everything is working fine for me. I checked in Airtel, and over NIC (National Informatics Center). If it isn't blocked by the NIC (gov. body, btw, I am a gov employee) I doubt whether anyone else would block it.
Oh? I read just the opposite from this data.
Very good. But search should include an indicator if the target rfc is prettified or not.

Curious. What's the best method of modeling a relational DB structure to enforce the rule that only:

Gender=F and isPregnant=True

combinations are allowed?

I know application layer can handle this. Also triggers. But is there any RDBMS that allows enforcement at DB level for rules like this?

Indeed, for only a smart person can come up with a twisted and convoluted rationalization that a person with an IQ of 75 is not stupid and a person with an IQ of 125 is not smart. You'll find some of the most passionate arguments about the problems of IQ testing from people with IQs over 115. If you really think it doesn't matter, well, I'm sure there are some interesting ways to knock down your IQ quite a bit that you might want to try as a personal experiment. As a safer experiment, find someone with an IQ in the 90s or less (do you know anyone with sub-100 IQ?) and try to teach them Haskell.

Of course, we're all intelligent on a species-scale, but that's a separate distinction.
Because I'm using MOAI for my projects (5 so far..) I am able to ship high-performance software on:

* Mac OSX
* Linux
* Windows
* iOS
* Android

Please note: MOAI targets BOTH mobile and desktop markets, and in that respect is much more powerful than a lot of competing frameworks.

The app looks the same on each platform, in fact its indistinguishable wherever you run it. Such a powerful framework, and many who look at it seem like they want to be hand-fed their apps, pre-developed for them ..

I have become a huge MOAI fan. I've built a physics game, a generalized data/entry application, a board game, and a few other things (internal projects) and I can't say I ever want to look at Objective-C/Android SDK's again. After deploying my apps on all platforms, I see absolutely no point to fall into the developer-brainshare trap again.

No it isn't. I checked vimeo after I saw a tweet about it being blocked. Was working fine for me. My ISP is semi-govt org.
Speeding Up the development of SharePoint Web Parts
Which ISP ? Location ?
No, these sites are being blocked. I am on Airtel as well and things weren't blocked until yesterday. I think Reliance was the first to enforce the block - I believe they're also the ones who filed for the court order. It's really good to see this on the HN front-page, and hope there's more awareness / discussion. Blocking pastebin is a bit ridiculous :/ - the message one gets when one goes to any of the sites is just "This site has been blocked as per Court Orders", without any other explanation. Changing DNS servers does not work, so they are doing it at a different level.

tl;dr: sites are being blocked. wtf?
It is blocked on major ISPs like Airtel, MTNL & Reliance. Some ISPs may have not implemented the block yet, but may follow soon.
SF blog : Featured FLOSS Projects of the Week
A few days back, customers of Reliance faced blocking of Torrent and Vimeo, which was later unblocked. Meanwhile, BSNL did not block any of these sites.
Yes, it's called a check constraint.

This is happening so often in India that it isn't even newsworthy anymore :(

For those outside India who are wondering, only Airtel (private) seems to have blocked sites. I have a BSNL (state owned) broadband connection and everything still loads fine for me.
Finally, a decent use of the word "empowering". Shame I can only up vote you once :)
I checked it on Airtel broadband, Airtel 3G and MTNL in New Delhi. It is blocked here, I get this error:

Have a table for people and then two tables for 'females' (defined as capable of pregnancy) and 'others'. The two tables link back to the people table with an fkey and each person from the people table has their own row in the applicable table. Then have a 'pregnant' table with an fkey back to 'females' table and a boolean column. Edit: or just the boolean column in 'females' table as danielmiller suggested

This is of course ridiculous so you should just use triggers or application layer, that's how logical data restrictions are meant to be enforced.
If you feel resentful toward your coworkers or are planning on quitting your job soon:

You could have Male, Female, and Transgendered tables, each of which point back to the Patient table. Only the Female table (and perhaps the Transgendered table) would have an isPregnant column.

"You can see that if you utilize the servers 100%, then EC2 is between 2x and 3.3x more expensive than renting servers Additionally looking at the CUs the EC2 images are less powerful than rented hardware, so you probably need more of them."
There are whole industries sectors with zero presence on the web (read: google gives you nothing when searching for a part number or company name).

You just rely on a dated excel spreadsheet with companies and reps phone numbers listed hard to believe to be up-to-date. You call a number across the continent and introduce yourself and just pick up on an old relation. No questions asked, great people, stuff gets done quickly.

No net. I was shocked.

Different Types of Driver’s Licenses
Basically, there are three stages to follow before one can get the graduated driver’s license, which is also called the full license. Each stage issues a license, in form, that bears the driving privilege to be explored and enjoyed by the bearing person. First, the learner’s permit is issued to new drivers who had finished the driving school program; the learner’s permit has a set of restrictions to be followed. Second, the intermediate permit constitutes a lighter restriction on the driving privilege of the driver. And lastly, the full license is issued to drivers who passed the first two stages, assuming that the skills necessary more
My girlfriend is seriously interested in linguistics. When she discovered I learned to code when I was a kid, and given the speed at which I learn (and forget!) foreign languages during my journeys in Europe, she ended up with the idea that learning a programming language is a similar procedure to that of a speaking language.

She also thinks that my ability to learn languages has been maintained strong by the fact I learnt a new programming language every year.

Also, the fact that bilingual kids are able to retain for a longer time the ability to learn languages made her think that as a kid I could be considered as bilingual.

I had the chance to confirm this looking at a colleague of mine who started to code as a kid too. Looks like we have some common abilities in language learning.

Love the title of this post.
Smartness and stupidity are a matter of motivation and interest in the subject.
Most times being stupid is doing what you are not meant to do / reasoning about what doesn't truly interest you.

There are many activities that meant to be done by "smart"
people like math or high stakes poker or programming. But most people are just scared of these things because they don't know they are smart enough to succeed.
> There is also another advantage to Less/SCSS, which is that existing CSS files are already compatible

Not sure about SCSS, but in my case Less choked on some complex hacks like IE filters. Not arguing about their evilness, but the fact remains—not always you can simply rename .css to .less and gradually start using new features. (In the end I kept CSS as is, with a separate Stylus file with overrides and new styles. SCSS wasn't an option, and I have a feeling it also suffers from these issues.)
Ah man, I sorry, but I have to rip in to you now...

How the hell is this area of science NOT sexy? Are you kidding me? IMHO, this is the ultimate in science, interfacing the human being directly with technology. That is a "sexy" as it gets, its right up there with CERN and spacey stuff. Stockings and suspenders couldn't make this more sexy.

And if that aint good enough for "us" then I merely have this to say, "think Russian".

I don't think much would change. You can very well use biases to rationalize whatever you want. It's the intention and attitude that matters the most, not how many biases you can recite.

I'm still for teaching common biases in secondary school. Won't hurt, and may sometimes help. But I don't think knowing biases changes people. At least that wasn't my experience.
I tend to agree that it is a mistake, but I wouldn't be surprised to find it in the App Store soon. What's next? "Also on *d"?

You could, but that solution isn't of much help to someone with an existing .NET/SQL Server application. Making a few tweaks is probably a lot cheaper than a wholesale change to a different database server.

I don't think the OP is being pedantic: you're wrong to compare the first two years of Facebook with Pinterest.

For one thing, Facebook was .edu limited for its first two years, so its growth was constrained. Rather than that, look at Facebook's growth from 2007-2009.
Check constraints. But DB constraints seems like the wrong level to fix the problem. If it happens often that an non-pregnant person is registered as pregnant, then it might happen with women as well as men. Perhaps even more often! This can't be fixed at the DB level. My guess is that it is some kind of UI issue.

The brain is a "parallel processor" in that distinct regions are responsible for different tasks. These arrays are recording from the primary motor area (M1) which directly controls output muscles. While this does require conscious control right now, it's not the case that irrelevant thoughts are likely to significantly alter the control signals sent to the arm.
I heard that learning to "game" IQ tests is a common exercise in psychology classes. According to my friend it's fairly easy to get very high scores with the appropriate preparation.

A very good old friend of mine is a professionally trained waiter and never had "advanced" math classes. His knowledge of math was limited to the rule of three.

One day I tried to teach him functions, quadratic equations, basic analysis and other stuff. He grocked it immediately. Much much faster than most of my class mates when we had to learn these topics back at school.

I think it is important to distinguish between "knowledge" and "intelligence".

A good life lesson was given to me by my English teacher in high school. He always told us that when you notice that you have more knowledge in area than the person you are talking to, then it is your job to adjust your way of communication. Not the other way round. It's of no good to be smug. In fact if you fail to communicate your ideas, you might not be as smart as you might think.
Here is a Ted talk that prevents data about inequality: http://www.ted.com/talks/richard_wilkinson.html

There's another take on it here: http://www.quora.com/Economic-Inequality/How-is-income-inequ.... In, that link says that the degree of inequality matters in the us because in the us, the poor are desperately poor, and the rich are fantastically rich. In other words, if the poor had a pretty good standard of living and the rich were absurdly healthy, maybe that would be ok, but that's not the situation we have.

Nobody is arguing against testing. They're arguing about doing tests where you know the results will be deeply flawed.
