I serve content from my own repository for my Turntable.FM chrome extension. Since the bulk of the code is JS, I just dynamically load the file from the github repo. What's great about this method is the ability to update most parts of the plugin without needing to repackage the extension and upload back to the store. I work off separate branches for my local testing and updates and then merge into master when it's ready for showtime.
To be honest, LinkedIn doesn't offer a lot of creative flexibility but here's a couple of ideas:
1. You can make your profile less formal by giving it some personality.
2. Take the same approach to your company profile by injecting some fun and liveliness.

Your presumption is wrong. I gave examples of free movements of products, services and capital. If you are ready to accept these freedoms, you should also accept the other items packaged in this very same deal: the free movement of people.

The Swiss also like to cherry pick the good stuff from the Europe, just like everybody. Not taking responsibility of the economic externalities, as the euphemism goes, is not sustainable. Economically speaking of the West, the short-term advantages of this short-sightedness are over.

Here's an example of a recent tool that automatically generates code from a declarative specification written in linear integer arithmetic with operations on sets: http://lara.epfl.ch/w/comfusy.
There is a plugin available for the Scala (2.7.7) compiler.

Assuming you want to break a number of seconds contained in variable secnum into hours, minutes, and seconds, you would write something like this:

val secnum: Int = Console.readInt
val (hours, minutes, seconds) = choose((h: Int, m: Int, s: Int) => (
h * 3600 + m * 60 + s == secnum
&& 0 <= m
&& m < 60
&& 0 <= s
&& s < 60
) )

Code that computes the hours, minutes, and seconds will be generated at compile time (it's not interpreted).
that may be so, but the actual beggars are not at fault, and this is important. simply because someone was not born within the borders of your country does not make them any less human. This is the point. A swedish life is worth no more or less than a romanian one. Your nationalist attitude is baseless.

You happen to be born in sweden, they happen to be born in romania. If the tables were turned I'm sure you wouldn't think too highly of people with your opinion.

I've been wondering, how long does it take for a change to go from an edit in OSM, to being live in a routing app using OSM data? (If such an app exists)

Editing something is usually fast, having it percolate to all users of the data is much longer (for GMaps, but I expect it's similar for OSM).

When we write source code, we are describing a process (ship an order) and providing the support for that process (persistence, move, copy, etc.). They are tightly coupled to each other via source code.

I am guessing code that writes code is an attempt to further decouple a process from the code providing the support for that process (data driven programming is another example but is often very domain specific).

It seems that full decoupling of a processes behavior from the code supporting that process would be the end goal. I don't think this is something that meta-programming fully solves.

Have you a problem with Bulgarian people or Bulgarian criminals?

If you have a problem with Bulgarian people in general, then, well, that is called xenophobia or more simply racism.

If you have a problem with Bulgarian criminals, then complain to your police force. How come you able to spot such criminals so easily while they cannot? Did you make precise and detailed reports to the police about cases you witnessed, experienced personally or know from local hearsay?

Talking about apartments, do you agree on the principle that access to public housing should be given to those most in need? Do you also agree on the principle that the needs for every lawful person should be addressed regardless of their country of origin? If you do, what is the problem them? If you do not, why?

Question for the US readers: do scenes like those depicted in Steinbeck's novel The grapes of wrath still happen? Are people from rural zones like Oklahoma's countryside treated as filthy dangerous foreigners in California? Because that is what we are seeing and experiencing right now in the EU.
As described yes, but you can extract the duplicate bodies in a function. That way there is no code-size explosion. Another way if you're willing to take a 2x code explosion hit is to compile each function twice: once for normal calling and another time for restoring the stack. The way to do this is to give the function an additional parameter that indicates where in the function it should start, and then do a switch on that parameter to go to the right point. If you can't take the 2x hit you can also replace all normal calls with a call to the special function with the parameter set so that it will start at the beginning of the procedure, although this makes your code a little slower for the case that no continuations are captured.
It's only a matter of time, though, unless regulators step in.

Compiler (that's what code that writes code is) is still a relatively expensive thing to design, implement, and maintain. I think you should avoid it in general, although there are exceptions.

> Have you a problem with Bulgarian people or Bulgarian criminals?

> If you have a problem with Bulgarian people in general, then, well, that is called xenophobia or more simply racism.

Presumably you are Bulgarian and I have offended you by not being nice to those compatriots of you who are begging on my streets. I am actually kind of sad for that, because I'm sure you and I could in fact get along quite beautifully. But the fact still remains: when I go out, I don't wish to be accosted by beggars. This is human nature.

> If you have a problem with Bulgarian criminals, then complain to your police force. How come you able to spot such criminals so easily while they cannot? Did you make precise and detailed reports to the police about cases you witnessed, experienced personally or know from local hearsay?

My bloody point was that vagrancy SHOULD be a crime. It ISN'T at present. (Also, the police are corrupt and willing to overlook crime when it suits them.)

> Do you also agree on the principle that the needs for every lawful person should be addressed regardless of their country of origin?

Certainly not. I find it totally absurd that if I (a Swedish citizen who's paid a lot of tax to the Swedish state) were to wind up on the streets, the Swedish state could quite possibly refuse me even a bed at a homeless shelter, at the same as a foreigner should be given his or her own apartment, no questions asked. This is not just. It's borderline evil.
Unlike most programming, mathematical theorems usually survive for a bit longer, so a longer time frame is justifiable.
> that may be so, but the actual beggars are not at fault, and this is important. simply because someone was not born within the borders of your country does not make them any less human.

I have never denied anyone their humanity, only insisted that I shouldn't have to support them.

> A swedish life is worth no more or less than a romanian one.

If we are all equal, why do the left insist that a Romanian arriving in Sweden should have more entitlements than a Swedish citizen?

It is an open secret, that as all dictators, the Ceaușescus were also maintained by powers outside Romania. His wife was elected as member of the Illinois Academy of Sciences, besides multiple doctorate honoris, ie. from the Faculty of Sciences of Nice (and if I remember correctly, member of the Académie). Seemed like an approval of Western Europe, so to me it seems, that they had a little bit to do with the current situation. Actually little has changed since at the core, despite appearances.

In short, Apple is becoming an MNVO. With Mobile Network Virtual Operators, you don't know which carrier your connection is actually going over.

Apple is signaling to the rest of us that the "dumb pipe" future which carriers are facing is quickly approaching.

None of us will care who provides the future 4G/5G/6G connection; we'll just go with the cheapest carrier at the time. Apple here is just streamlining this process so their customers won't have to waste their time and money figuring it out, and they probably won't be alone in offering this type of service to the public.

Edit: The article makes a big deal about not being able to remove the SIM card from your phone. CDMA phones have never had SIM cards - to switch phones with Verizon or Sprint, you have to update which MEID or IMEI (number from the phone) is attached to your account. For many years, we were locked into brand-only phones because they were the only ones in the "allowed" database.

Nonsense. Lots of contracts can last after you stop being an employee, e.g. Non-compete contracts, non-disclosure agreements etc. If the employee leaves the day before their final salary payment is due, does that mean the company is no longer legally obliged to pay them? No.
referral bonuses are paid to employees. He is not an employee.

There is a big difference between "Referral bonuses are only due to employees" and "Referral bonuses are only paid to employees". At one point in time he was an employee and hence was due the bonus. The bonus was not paid to him at the time though.

He is still due the bonus.
How about apple wanting to create a more user friendly experience. Buy several devices and instantly switch your single virtual sim around through web, iTunes or the device. Sounds good to me. Apple proved they can control the telco's with or without the virtual sim.
Controversial but I'm going to say it anyway,

He's not "a guy". He's very famous and has his own TV show that he created, starred, wrote and post-produced on his macbook. Also, he's also selling his stuff, without a middleman, DRM-free and with a very decent price.

He is also managing to sell stuff that was from HBO, again, DRM-free and at reasonable price.

That's awesome! I have also in the past just scribbled the crap out of a receipt much like a 3 year old trying to coloring a solid shape with a pen as my signature a few times. The clerks never care interesting enough. I don't think they even know that the signing act is all that's needed. I suppose when its only for a few bucks they prefer to avoid confrontation. However, according to a merchants credit card agreement, the merchant is responsible for verifying the identity of the person using the card. If they accept unauthorized payment on a card the merchant is liable and takes the loss... never let up or believe a merchant that says you have to pay for fraudulent charges.
I am confused about why regulators should be involved. The purpose of the ETSI is to create mobile industry standards. I think the author would argue that these benefit the consumer.

The main issue with the article isn't its hyperbolic headline, but the fact that the author implies that Apple is introducting their nano-SIM design in order to further lock down devices, when their design is actually more backwards compatible than the ones submitted by Nokia and RIM: http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/26/2904153/apple-vs-nokia-4ff...

The Swedes likely don't have a problem with Bulgarians. He says Bulgarians and Romanians so he means gypsies. He may not know this but even if he does he's Swedish so saying that it's a gypsy problem would get him in shit socially.

The author of this article expects us to believe that he moved away from NYC after 9/11 because Warren Buffet predicted that there would be a nuclear attack on US soil in the next 50 years. He then explains this prediction as a conspiracy theory to sell more insurance. The rest of the article continues this way.

I'm not sure if this is satire or just a really bad article. Since it's on TechCrunch, I'm guessing it's the second one. Flagged.
Thanks! And keep up your site!

I don't think that the nano-SIM is going to lock down devices any more than the micro-SIM. I'm saying that while everyone is battling it out over that standard, Apple will introduce their "Virtual SIM". Possibly as a last resort if their standard doesn't make it.

Turn Compliance Beliefs Into Action: Impact Tone at the Bottom
Very interesting, thanks for that.
I wish he would add TCE for the sole fact that parsing tree like structures feels much more natural using recursion than it does with a for loop. I am always paranoid that a really deep structure will cause an stack depth exceeded exception.

There's a quote from Guido about private attribute access where he said, "We're all adults", and that leaving the open is beneficial.

Recursion is another tool that he should let us adults use if it solves a problem better and TCE is lovely feature to have. Frankly, if you're using recursion, you either just learned it in a CompSci class or you know what you're doing. Either way, daddy Guido shouldn't tell us no :).
I don't get it. The featureset on this project is so small that for anything else than a simple testpage it won't be good enough. And for a case like that, you can simply do vanilla DOM scripting yourself. If you want a library that's like jQuery but smaller simply use Zepto.
And this is why raganwald's flamebait is indeed flamebait; gyardley decided to run with someone else's opinion/third-hand information without researching whether or not it was true, or even in context.

^This. It's not that exclusively women have these problems, it's that they have them to a greater extent than men because of centuries-old ideas about how women and men should act.

As I write in the comments - once you've corrupted yourself as an official to the level of the 2010 case, you cannot UN-corrupt yourself in the eyes of the public.

Ultimately, a startup involves taking a lot of calculated risks. Miso decided that the benefits from launching early outweighed the risks from losing data (physical media failures, fat finger, bugs, etc.). They were wrong. They gambled and lost.
