Actually, most plugins are easy. The problem is with plugins that need to interface with external programs--getting both Emacs and some program, like a browser, to cooperate can be tricky.

I don't think there can be a general tutorial for setting things like this up. The issues with this plugin are going to be due to your browser or JavaScript engine; the issues with a different plugin are going to be due to LaTeX or GHC or whatever program you're interfacing with. So the problems are probably going to be unique to each particular plugin rather than uniform across all plugins.

This could work through group selection - on average, groups containing more intelligent individuals would outcompete groups not containing them. However, this requires a scenario with group competition, and probably also requires substantially more time than individual selection for the dynamic to play out.
Go 1.0.2, which is the newest stable release. I will see if I have some extra time to file a report.

Slightly off topic (but relevant to my comment above), do you know why this:

func TraverseInline() {
var ints := make([]int, N)
for i := range ints {
sum += i
}
}

should be slower than:

func TraverseArray(ints []int) int {
sum := 0
for i := range ints {
sum += i
}
return sum
}

func TraverseWithFunc() {
var ints := make([]int, N)
sum := TraverseArray(ints)
}

Seeing a huge difference here. With an array of 300000000 ints, TraverseInline() takes about 750ms, whereas TraverseWithFunc() takes 394ms. With gccgo (GCC 4.7.1), the different is much slighter, but there's still a difference: 196ms compared to 172ms. (These are best-case figures, I'm doing lots of loops.) Go is compiled, not JIT, so I don't see why a function should offer better performance.
I swear I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but I don't see how these two things you said could both be true:

> 31% is exactly the chance that randomness produced the effect in the trial.

Seems fair (this is a good argument).

I don't think there's a huge amount of precedent. There are systems which are tightly coupled and thus all-or-nothing (most hosting pre-cloud, power generation facilities, etc.), and systems which are highly distributed (networks). Generally for the distributed systems, no one reports a global uptime percentage, but a per-link uptime target and percentage.

Quick, find Windows in the chart: http://www.asymco.com/2012/02/21/the-opportunity-cost-of-win...

There aren't that many Windows phones available and as an example you won't find phones by Samsung, Motorola, Huawei, LG etc. And as the chart above shows what is out there isn't selling.

The rising tide lifts all boats arguments is correct, but there is a significant lead time in coming out with new phones. Last time I looked it was around 18 months, so new players jumping in will have a lag of around that much. There is first mover advantage.

Nokia's problem is execution, especially with software. Developing for two platforms (Windows and Android) wouldn't have made them any better at it. Better to concentrate your efforts in one place and succeed than spread and fail.

I do agree with your speculation as to the future - no matter what they do they won't get too far unless they fix their software development - and to a large degree the platform or how many of them doesn't matter that much except how much work they have to do.
Rather than these n00b tutorials, I recommend reading "Pro Git" by Scott Chacon, available for free here: http://git-scm.com/book

If you prefer a video, try "Getting Git" by Scott Chacon: http://vimeo.com/14629850

Coming from a Subversion & Perforce background, I was initially very confused by Git. There were two things that finally switched-on the old lightbulb for me:

a) Scott's book

b) Actively using Git for all of my personal projects (e.g. small school assignments and code experiments), without using a remote repository. If you defer learning about remote repositories for now, I'm sure the light will switch-on for you as well :)
The craziest thing about this injunction is it isn't even about 'swipe to unlock' which is pretty ridiculous, but it is about unified search (the search bar on Android phones searches the device /and/ the web - Apple has a patent on that, Google does not.)
This is slightly off-topic, but I've always been suspicious of the "TANSTAAFL" principle. Maybe reading some books by Heinlein soured me on it :P. (He's normally a great writer, but either I didn't understand To Sail Beyond the Sunset, which is likely, or it wasn't any good, which is unlikely but possible.)

Basically, the assumption there is that the current equilibrium is optimal or close to optimal. The problem is that this is often untrue. If I'm being inefficient, there is no reason for an improvement not to be completely free, after all.

It also smacks of "conventional wisdom" which is often much more conventional than wise.

More pertinently, I think this can apply to evolution. Now, clearly, I am no expert on evolution, so I could be completely off-base. But my understanding is that evolution can get caught in local maxima. That is, there could be some sufficiently remote global maximum in the fitness function that isn't reached because any probable mutation hits a lower value between the current state and this possible maximum.

I suppose an example could be about how evolution never came up with the wheel. I think there are cases where wheels would increase fitness, but they are simply too remote from existing organisms to reasonably evolve.

If such an effect exists, then some sort of design process could overcome it. In this case, we could strictly improve on evolution. Now, I'm not sure if this is an actual effect, but it seems plausible. If anyone has any actual studies on the subject, I would like to see them.
"How would helping 'the species as a whole' increase the frequency of that person's genetic traits in the population?"

Few issues

* no way to bookmark or forward a link to song or filter to a friend. If this is to help sharing, then it fails that.

* clicking a song moves the rest down, making it less consistent

* no way to put filter in url bar. Reddit is great with their concatenation of two subreddits in one address: reddit.com/r/programming+technology . Please do it so I can see top songs from /m/Goa+Psychedelic

* no way for curators. A lot of art industry follows a system of 'stamps of approval' through publishers / producers or labels. I am a fan of music from Ninja Tune label who represent artists like Amon Tobin and Skalpel. I don't see a way to discover other music from same label. I understand this could be done through playlists maybe?

* registration requires a lot of information that I am not fan of giving out. Redit creates account with just username/password. I hate giving out personal information. Location is created with 'undefined, undefined'. Location is required. Location doesn't even accept my default places like Kualalumpur. It did find Warsaw.

* registration doesn't go forward. I click 'Lets do it', nothing happens

as I can't register couple other points of interest:

* A lot of people like to add own tags to music, like decades (sounds like 80s), or moods (cheery), or languages (Polish).

* how are comments differentiated from general song comments vs 'at 1:45 the drop is massive' (soundcloud way)

* linking with other data sources: please think about reading last.fm / musicbrainz / discogs to get list of known genres/styles/moods.

* as you are starting, the reddit way is to add stuff yourself as tons of users. Try to link content from elektoplazm , and other places where you can find out the public / create commons status

cheers
This is an interesting article, but there's something about it that bothers me I'm trying to put my finger on. I think I'm a little wary of using this sort of analytic argument to validate a theory like this ex post facto while ignoring a much simpler theory that trivially explains the same results:

Medicine is hard.

It has nothing to do with evolution; take an intelligent person with no mechanical experience, tools, or instructions, give them a car which is behaving oddly, and ask them to fix it. It will be a miracle if they manage to properly diagnose and fix the problem without destroying at least a couple of engines. The fundamental rule is "Interfering with a complex system for which you don't have the manual by trial and error is as likely to do harm as good."

I guess I don't see why this is treated as an insight into human intelligence. No one with mechanical experience thinks you can make a car go faster by using hotter gasoline. No one with technical experience thinks you can make a computer run faster by boosting the input voltage. For the same reason, no one with medical experience thinks there's a drug that can make you smarter. It just doesn't make sense.

But that doesn't mean you can't make a faster car, or computer, or brain, or that it need be terribly difficult. For all of these, the answer lies in structure. And in this respect, brain modification may be the easiest of the three, because modifying brain structure is one of the primary functions of the brain.

Would you care to support your assertion that "looking at evolution from the perspective of the individual is a mistake"? The individual is the fundamental "biological unit" through which human genes are propogated (same for non-genetic vectors of heritable traits, such as epigenetic signatures and memes), and the individual is also the level at which selection acts. Since evolution is all about selection of and propogation of genes, in what sense is it a mistake to look at evolution at the level where both of these phenomena act?

Note that being "less likely to pass on their own genes" means exactly the same thing here as having a "net evolutionary disadvantage", so your comment is actually agreeing with the sentence that you quoted, despite what appears to be your intent.

Regardless, there is a valid discussion to be had about evolution at levels other than the individual, but it's just not as simple as replacing individuals with species as the biological unit of evolution.
Not sure why the difference in performance between function and non-function, particularly considering this looks inline-able.

2 theories on why gcc is doing better. Maybe its unrolling the loop, and avoids a bunch of jumps. Alternatively, it could be using SSE, but this theory is a much less likely, because I would expect it to be 4 times faster not twice as fast. gc doesn't use SSE instructions yet.

Patents aren't like copying someone's homework - that's copyright.

It's important to remember, there's no suggestion in any of these cases that anyone stole Apple's source code. There isn't even an allegation that they did any nontrivial reverse-engineering of an iPhone (it clearly wasn't necessary). Instead, at most, people saw a behavior and independently re-implemented it (and often might not have even seen the behavior first - many of these patents date far back before the iPhone - to the point where "infringing" implementations existed well before the iPhone), without studying the implementation at all.

That's like... getting a good grade because you wrote a paper on the Roman Empire and then accusing someone of cheating because they decided to write their own paper on the same subject (when they might not have even known the subject of your paper and even if they did it wasn't cheating).
An individual does not evolve, it either reproduces or not. Individuals have never been the "biological unit" of evolution; evolution is a process of populations by definition.

Edit: To make it a little more clear what this means, treating the organism as the unit of evolution is like treating the cell as the unit of walking. Yes, walking is the action of individual cells, but nothing interesting or relevant to the process is happening at a cellular level.

> No one with technical experience thinks you can make a computer run faster by boosting the input voltage.

Fun fact: some computers actually can be made to run faster by raising the input voltage! The higher voltage decreases the delays of the logic gates, and lets you clock it faster. The big problem is that this also raises the power consumption -- both energy per second and per clock cycle.
I agree. But my impression was that she took the fact that google translate rapidly decays into gibberish as an indication that it's not doing a good enough job. I don't think you can argue that exactly because google translate does not have the interpretation capability.
Cannot upvote/save story
I just realised that all the stories that i have upvoted the last 3 months do not appear in the saved stories categories. Does anyone know why does this happen?
The 9-1 is the node hierarchy needed to find out where to start the highlighting, it's something like look for the 10nth child and then find the second child of that element (zero based index).

If you have a more complex markup it becomes apparent, for example, if you selected something inside <p><span></span><strong><em>Text</em></strong></p> it would look like 0-1-0-0

The last part is exactly what you suggested, it's just the dom content substring.

Another thing that it's not evident is that the selected text can transverse trough html elements, for example, start inside a span and end outside that span.

Sadly that blog is not under my control, maybe i should try to blow the dust off that code and make a sample page.
> Just like Google probably would not have even contemplated patenting a search that draws on multiple data sources back in 2004 (it's actually kind of hard to conceive of search in the modern world that doesn't!) - but Apple came along and patented that.

Now just think about Google's (and Samsung's and HTC's and ...) probable reaction to discovering they can be blindsided by not patenting something they thought was obvious. If you think things are bad now, just wait a few years.
If Android or WP failed, Google and Microsoft could both walk. The difference is that if Nokia was on Android and Nokia failed then Android would keep going. If Nokia fails on WP then Microsoft probably walks and that is a huge blow to Microsoft.

Google can advertise at you almost irrespective of platform you are using. But Microsoft is getting no relevance (or revenue) when you use the new mobile platforms. It is a mistake to think of the "phone" platforms as phones. They are really a new software platform that coincidentally can sometimes make phone calls (on some of the devices). http://daringfireball.net/2012/07/iphone_disruption_five_yea...

Do you realise that non-desktop (Android, iOS etc) devices/platforms will soon (~2013) outship desktops and that the prognosis is a consequent decline in Microsoft's relevance? That would such an incredibly bad thing for Microsoft to walk away from.

See platform stuff above. It is all about the software. You'll always want to personalise your offering in some way, even if it is as trivial as changing the default search engine in response to kickbacks. But generally you'll want to do more. Nokia also has divisions like Navteq (maps).
"The consequences are dire for Microsoft. The wiping out of any platform advantage around Windows will render it vulnerable to direct competition. This is not something it had to worry about before. Windows will have to compete not only for users, but for developer talent, investment by enterprises and the implicit goodwill it has had for more than a decade."

Right - but, if you read the article, the author then comes up with some examples of human-net improvements that don't seem to have any downsides (that outweigh the improvements), that could have evolved, and do seem to have a significant net benefits. They then go to argue _why_ these may not have evolved (new conditions, new values, etc...)

That's what makes the article interesting - is there are exceptions to Algernons's law.
That's a good note, but I did mean the computer's input voltage, not the CPU's. You can increase an individual neuron's firing speed plausibly trivially, but the brain (like the computer) is a complex regulated system that can't be played with that way without causing problems.

Personally, I don't know why Apple's just going after small potatoes.

Given their patents, they clearly own Google Instant and Google's standard multi-source (Web/Images/News/...) search plus a bunch of other things (thoughts about how many Apple patents Chrome must infringe?).

Why waste time on Android phones? Win an aggressive enough lawsuit and they'd own Google. Even if Apple just got an injunction, that would be enough to cripple Google (to the point where Google would agree to extortionate licensing terms, I'd bet).
How so? Having the sickle cell trait (i.e. being heterozygous for the gene which, in homozygous individuals, causes sickle cell anemia) gives an advantage to individual evolutionary fitness in areas where malaria is a big problem. There's no need for group selection arguments to explain the prevalence of that trait.
