Do you know of something that does this... I'd like to try it? Is this something org-mode can do (probably not since the vim statement, but just wondering)?

They used the fact that Sabu had their trust. The idea that they would be able to plant someone in LulzSec and take then down from the insider within 7 months seems laughable.
I would have gladly paid the $100. The portability of the tablet is its biggest appeal to me. Not having a cell modem kills a lot of my potential use cases.
My thoughts too. Cue seems to have better design, but Google has massive resources for data mining and interpretation. Looks like a new app category just sprung up.
The raid in VA is "valid" until a US court says otherwise. The NZ court only has jurisdiction over those parts of the case that pertain to NZ, although it has ordered the US to turn over any evidence they have on K.C to his defense. Again, though, that's only as it relates to the extradition process.
That would be unbelievably confusing...
Compare the amount of effort it would take to create such a port against the number of users who would build, sign, and install it themselves.
One benefit of the plugin approach is that it will get forked and improved and other cool and useful things added to it. It's a central repository for all of that goodness, and keeping it up to date just requires pulling the repo (assuming you're using Pathogen or Vundle), instead of remembering to dig through vim.org/scripts periodically.

TLDR - the plugin approach gains the benefits of software evolution.
Was the Gargoyle from Snow Crash? I don't remember it. Either way, I'm reading Neuromancer at the moment and I picked up on that minor snafu, as well.
Well, it's not like it's Eclipse. I've been carrying my .vimrc and other dotfiles around from machine to machine for a decade. Occasionally I make changes, but for the most part there's not a lot of setup with vim for me.
That's an option and it works even better than the bundles do with TextMate. Just goto Action > Install Extras and you'll see bundles and themes. Once I figure out this split-pane thingy I'll pony up my $49.
The Tau Manifesto discusses this (perhaps not to your satisfaction, but it's there): http://tauday.com/tau-manifesto#sec:ambiguous_notation
51° is not 1/7 τ. 1/7 τ is (51 3/7)°, or 51.428571...°. If you round that to 51°, then presumably you're doing something where inexact numbers are fine, in which case you might then use "0.89 (radians)". My intuition is better for degrees here, but I think that would change if I spent ten minutes doing calculations involving real radian measures.

Really? I'm honestly surprised.

One of the things I love about Sublime 2 is how it handles large files.

I just ran `cat /dev/urandom > test.log` for about 15 seconds to generate a 160MB file, and it's currently opening in the background with a nice smooth status bar in Sublime, using up a single yielding thread while remaining completely and entirely UI responsive while loading. You can cancel loading at any time by closing the file; this doesn't interrupt workflow or slow you down at all if you accidentally open a massive file (awesome).

It finished opening the entire 1.1 million (!) line file in about 2 minutes, followed by a brief 3 second delay, followed by displaying it perfectly in the editor. I could smoothly scroll through the whole file (as smooth as if it were 100 lines), even using the minimap that displays a small representation of the whole file. Memory usage jumped about 200 MB, but that's to be expected and is rather efficient considering the task.

I'm not a Sublime evangelist or anything, just saying my experience completely contradicts yours, to such a degree that I think of Sublime second when I want to open large files.

Why second? Well, because you should really be using command line tools for files that big anyway.

*edit: Almost forgot to delete that test file. Whew.
In the first round no Chilean teams were allowed, second round they opened it up and now the rumor is they are moving towards more and more Chileans because, frankly, some foreign teams scam the system and go on a 6 month $40K holiday.

Red Hat snaps up open source SOA firm FuseSource
I suspect the lack of a 3G/LTE option is a power play on Google's part. One of the biggest failings of Android thus far is the poor distribution of updates, and carriers do not help the situation.

Without a modem Google controls 100% of the user's experience, with a modem they're subject to the whims of AT&T, Verizon, et al.

I'd be very, very happy if Google wrested some control back, it might mean sane support and updates for future Android devices.
Or consider using TestingBot.com which provides mobile testing with Selenium. Easier than setting up/maintaining everything yourself.

It won't amaze third graders, but it would make a lot more sense the first time you learn integral calculus
overloading variables is nothing new in math/science/engineering. Usual methods include picking a different variable to represent torsion, or appending a subscipt or superscript of some kind to differentiate between the two taus. you could also use a bar (like hbar and h in physics) or an apostrophe.
They do know what a Gigabyte is. It also seems they know what a gibibyte is and that the customer's probably don't. (Very true) 2^30 is a gibibyte. How about "Google mixes up Gibibyte with Gigabyte" as a proper title, yesh.
Umm, unless they edited it since your post, 2^30 bytes is the correct definition of a Gigabyte. edit - Oh you're being pedantic about GB vs. GiB. Too bad in computer science, GB /means/ GiB. Besides, for folks like you, you get get a "free" 7%. You should be elated about the 7% of free bandwidth + storage you're stealing from Google.

I'm more curious why the hell they chose 'ingress' and 'egress' instead of the far more commonly accepted "inbound" and "outbound" terms.
>When instead of sharing, laughing, and crying together, we take, laugh, and cry in a room, alone, our thumbs and index fingers hurriedly typing out replies to communication, missing vital clues and skipping over the common human courtesies we learn and use in the course of physical interaction.

You say "human courtesies", I (and others) say impediments to effective communication. Think of the average phone call. Think of how much of that is completely needless and only dictated by tradition as opposed to any real informational, emotional, communicative, or any other value.

And if you can't look past the medium to see the person on the other side, there's not a whole lot I can say on that. My BF on the phone vs Skype vs Facebook vs Twitter. It's all the same person, all their communique are special to me, medium regardless. In fact the textual ones have a benefit - I can easily retrieve those later.

Who really uses Facebook to the exclusion of meeting in person?

>Facebook is stripping away our humanity.

Such hyperbole.

>the negative consequences ("lack of pictures and status updates") are not nearly as broad as addiction to most other things in life.

You realize there is such a thing as mental addiction, yes? Your brain chemistry doesn't have to have been impacted by chemicals to be addicted to something.
RightScale Joins Google Compute Engine for Launch Day

I'm over 40 and wear reading glasses. I love the Kindle 3's form factor. It fits in my bag it's far more pleasant to read on a 7" tablet than a smartphone.
so, amazon, openstack, cloudfoundry, cloudstack, openshift...too many to chose.

and, what framework is Google's cloud running on top of? i assume it's something google-proprietary, or is it open-sourced somewhere like everybody else (other than Amazon)?
True, though that may change soon. And other features like SPDY are already working on Android but presumably not in Chrome for iOS.
Eh, 3rd graders can probably handle the area of a triangle, which can be viewed as a definite integral. (Somehow, middle school physics students seem to be able to handle computing the distance traveled by an object given starting velocity and constant acceleration--again, technically an integral.)

In fact, one can view a circle as being made up of a bunch of really thin triangles (this is how one usually derives the area of a circle), and this again is something that third-graders can appreciate--cut a paper circle into slices, and see if you can get the slices to look more and more like triangles as you cut them smaller. (I vaguely remember doing something like this in elementary school.)

It may be a little misguided to say that companies like Parse are speeding up the iteration cycle for mobile apps. Every business is going to need a backend to store all its data, so the time spent architecting and building the backend layer should be equal regardless of whether your frontend is browser-based or native mobile.

Parse only helps if you don't have anyone on your team who is fluent in building backends. That being said, Parse is an excellent choice when you're in that situation.
It's super early stages, I'm only building the functionality I need, no persistence, no nothing special.

Isn't this a bit immaterial to the post at hand anyway?
>And a rotating frame is accelerating, and a fan-plus-static is not.

There's plenty of teaching going on but people have stopped listening to people who know what they are talking about and have started listening to all the trendy marketing out there.

Both of those are available as books (EIP + PoEAA). Buy them, read them, weep.

Yes they are C# and Java but that's where most of the formalisms were developed (for a reason!).

The iPad or 10" tablets provide a different experience. iPad is a great size but just a little too big to take everywhere with you. The 7" is just so much more portable.
Sunglass.io Public Launch, democratize 3d design
The app crashed the first time I opened it. The second time, I opened a file and the Python syntax mode marked lines in my file as invalid, even though they aren't and no other text editor marks them as such. It seems premature for a 1.0 release.
I'm not trying to say it's the wrong size or anything.

I have a friend who lives in a warm climate, wears cargo shorts year-round and couldn't care less about anything other than long-form reading on the thing. And he won't shut up about how awesome his Nook Color fits his life. I get it, for him. Or for a hypothetical mad-reader who has a purse or pouch they carry everywhere.

I just hear a lot of chatter about how the 7" size is desirable coming from people who don't/can't already wear clothing that makes sense of the form-factor. [1] Or don't have that long-form reading focus. [2]

And I don't get that. I figure there has to be something to it. Which is why I still talk about it. I'm just not seeing it.

[1] e.g. they don't live in a climate or work environment where they can sport cargo pants/shorts all the time, or they don't already wear a jacket everywhere with pockets big enough, etc. And there, "it fits some pockets" sounds more hypothetical and comes off like they've just turned "you have to carry a bag that you don't already" into "you have to carry conforming_clothing, that you don't already".

[2] Personally, that's the only time I wish my iPad was more comfortable to one-hand. It doesn't come up often. But during long reading sessions, while I'm rotating postures and grips, I miss the one-hand grips that are available with a paperback, magazine, or 7" tablet. But I'm not so short on comfortable grips that it matters much. That said, I never found the weight of an iPad to be a problem either. So maybe that's just me.
It's because we're tired of seeing a new to-do list app every day. They always have a cutesy name and fancy design and pretentious branding. At this point, a to-do app is a nice project for someone learning to program, nothing more. We don't need 100 to-do list apps. They all suck. Paper and pencil still wins. Typing on a smartphone sucks, and will always suck. I don't care that it automatically syncs to my laptop or my desktop or my goddamn toilet.
Yeah. Good luck to them competing with that iPad 2 and 3 at the price.

I think Google learned the hard way that selling to small users results in huge support cost (see also: App Engine, pretty sure that was the reason behind the price hike). Neither AE or GoogEC2 are the kind of services you can simply rely on an FAQ for, and it just isn't in their culture to offer hand-holding on a massive scale.

The affiliate program was for people pushing content, not specifically copyrighted content. Mega made money on site visits and account premiums

This is no different then Apple making a fortune off the ipod.
The original iPod did not have a great store attached to it, it was simply a device for playing MP3s.

Wonder where all those MP3s came from?

Holding Mega accountable for the users actions is like saying Apple should pay the record companies for songs that were pirated on the ipods they sold, and continue to sell.

Tau is clearer in some domains and pi is better in others. The mental overhead from switching between the two is too much, so just pick one already. And let the rest of us know, so we can go back to having a clear standard and not requiring the mental overhead of switching while studying different authors.

Oh yeah, we went through that 2000 years ago and the winner was pi. I haven't seen any compelling reason to switch yet. (Says the guy who uses "j" for the imaginary constant. :P)
Pretty cool. And being able to getting files from Dropbox/Gmail makes it actually useful.
If we charged for inputs and wastes properly, that would pressure economic chains from both ends to minimize environmental impact.

We don't. For inputs we generally charge the cost of digging something up out of the dirt, and for outputs we charge the cost of burying something under the dirt. We shouldn't be surprised our economies have become a wasteful race of pleasurable consumption.

We're forcing our descendants to subsidize our lifestyle.
I really like the integrated use of Filepicker.io Great job to the Sunglass team!
>> Instead software patents seem to be mostly used to sue people who independently invented the same thing.

>I don't think you can point to any statistic to back this up.

I think that was already clear from the word 'seem'. To me, the same thing seems to be true, actually. That /might/ be caused by the number of software-patent cases I see that fall into this category, or are about trivial inventions, while I simply don't see the cases that do have some merit.

On the other hand, I've never yet seen a software patent related case where I could actually relate to the suing party.
I never had problems with large files on Sublime Text, in fact when vim chokes on those, I open them in Sublime.
Notepad++ does handle those with ease, but only on win, Sublime Text is cross platform.

No, they wouldn't be able to see colors most people can't -- they'd be able to experience colors most people can't. It's an important difference. Their "ultra-green" would really correspond to our "yellow".

Haha, true, though at least on my laptop I can full-screen it zoom the content to the screen edges, and invert the colors to get dark bg/light text. It's at least serviceable that way. Nothing like it (or at least that easy) on Kindle, Android, etc. that I know of.

No, because you're giving opinionated advice with weak supporting evidence. So the reader is left with 2 things to decide whether it is good advice.

1) your reputation in the community. I for one have never heard of you, so that leaves

2) code quality of the examples that you posted. a reader could infer that this may be good advice based on the fact that you appear to generate good code.

In this case your code is clearly not very well thought out, so why would the reader put trust in your unsubstantiated opinions?

where does the api call fit? in DOM

Yeah, this is something I'd expect at the joint co-working offices more than the Start-Up Chile office itself. However, they do leave the doors wide open while people are working there. Anyone can wave at the doorman and take the elevator up to the office for a rummage around. The reception desk doesn't have a good view of who is coming and going from 60% of the office space.
> It always seems silly because web apps were the ONLY apps in the original iOS. Native apps came later and only with pressure from the development community.

I think that is a silly claim, web apps were pretty useless at the time, there were almost no html5 features at the time so web apps were no threats at all while Apple was adding support for apps.
A Question : Since Google has a bad track record with customer service, how much they have a chance to people trust them ?

They can be "google" and they can be good at infrastructure but i see "image transfer" is problematic here: i want to know that i can "speak" with someone when something went wrong , past experiences shows it's nearly impossible.

(When my account is locked ,i don't want to loose my servers, email, docs, im, storage and thereafter my job...)
Please, don't conclude that Apple (and now Google) products aren't recyclable because of a quote from Wired citing some "friends from the recycling industry".

One thing I do know is that iPhones and other Apple products have high resale value, that there's an industry thriving on selling replacement screens, batteries etc.

This wouldn't be the case if most people considered these devices crap and obsolete the day a new product was introduced.

From my experience, people keep their Apple products for many years, often giving them to other family members when they upgrade themselves. If they weren't built to last, this would be impossible to do.

The real landfill fillers are the crappy plastic phones that get scratced and damaged.
Cool site that he links to. It was fun to play around and only require an email address to get in with no validation. My only gripe is that the pants only goes up to 36 waist while weight options are upwards of 300lbs.
The "micro" instance on Amazon is essentially useless for most things. It'll do things like just suddenly pause for 30 seconds. It's a shared CPU or somesuch, so you'll get periods where your instance is effectively dead.
Ask HN: Book for creating really advanced iOS views?
We've all seen iOS apps like Twitter and Facebook that have these astonishing views that do crazy things and are animated in ways that make you say "How did they do that?"

Stuff that makes the bone-stock iOS views look very static and plain.

Is there anything out there on how to create views that take things to the next level? I've searched in vain for a book or blog or anything that focuses on this.
