I once found myself explaining the details of "Copy" as something like "like making a ghost clone of the original that you are holding and can put it down to make it a real clone if you want to, or just let go of and it disappears"... so yeah, that function didn't get properly made graphical at all. Way too much hidden behavior. The command line, because it makes you specify where the copy goes, is far more clear. If there were a little icon of the file that attached itself to the mouse pointer in between the "copy" and "paste" steps, that might clear things up nicely.
I'm actually more concerned with how they've changed the design for rear drum brakes vs. rear disc brakes.

If I recall, that model Accord wagon had rear drum brakes.

edit: yep, it does have rear drums. I'm VERY curious to see how they intend to make this work for disc brakes, especially when the calipers have to wrap around that huge assembly.

The idea of rolling down the road and having a few magnets come flying off also scares the daylights out of me.

There might be something you can do on your end to get better candidates. Usually problems like these stem from either bad (read: boring) work, or faulty recruitment practices.

Bad work can usually be overcome with cash and perks. Unless you're looking at the top 0.01% of devs, you can probably pay people enough that they will overlook bad work.

However, there probably isn't much you can do about changing bad work so double check to make sure that your recruitment practices are more or less in line. If you're hiring outside recruiters, make sure they aren't scaring away top talent. I've gotten emails from recruiters that try something new and crazy and throw up more red flags than they would with a standard "Hi, we would like to talk to you about a position we are trying to fill".

If you feel that both of these are in line, then there could very well be a shortage in your area and I wish you the best of luck.
"One important function of the Start menu is discoverability of apps."

This. It's the one reason I can't stand Unity. I can never find anything. I can never know what controls I can tweak. I don't even know where to look. I end up poking around in the shell or apt to find out what actual programs are available.

Why should I be forced to reach for the keyboard just to load a program? This isn't a C64. It's as backwards as Apple's move away from directories.
They may say buy on bad news, but following that philosophy might have lead you to buy Enron and any number of companies where the bad news wasn't just temporary but a sign of real underlying problems.

You're also falling prey to anchoring bias. Because Facebook stock has previously been twice as much as it is now, it seems 'cheap', and a good deal.

What you really need to consider is the net value of Facebook as a company (by assessing its long term money making potential), and deciding whether its currently under or over valued.

I personally would never consider buying shares in FB because of the weird voting structure/rights. When I buy a piece of the company I want the corresponding votes to have my say in making sure that company is run in my best long term interests.

It seems like collectively changing our diet is just rearranging chairs on the Titanic. Our population will continue to grow exponentially as it has for the last several million years no matter what we eat. If somehow we avoid a massive die-off as has happened with other species due to, say, rapid climate change, a meteor, or a super virus, and actually survive to the point where the acreage of food producing land has a significant effect, then our population will be so large that one or two generations of growth will overwhelm the efficiency gains we make due to diet.

Put another way, if food producing acreage is the limiting factor for humans then as omnivores we may grow for 150,000 generations, as herbivores we may make it to 150,005 generations. Either way, growth will have to stop and we will have wiped out massive numbers of other species.
instead of repeating your assertion perhaps you could explain how it is "nowhere near"?

it's a different toolchain, with different end-users in mind. but you have an underlying engine that arranges text with arbitrary modifications to font styles in arbitrary regions.

the kind of differences i see are at the level of whether those regions are rectangular or not (which css3 is addressing, i think). that is not critical for most use.
Pure Data is awesome! It's a "patcher" language which makes it pretty approachable for musicians, who are already used to the "plugging in wires" paradigm --

Also with (http://libpd.cc/) you can embed your Pd code almost anywhere!

I'm using Pd/libpd for an audio-focused mobile project --- so far it's a great architecture, perfect separation of concerns, keeps the audio guts cross-platform. Plus everything is permissively licensed.

Supercollider seems to have a lot of traction with the improvisational community, folks who do "live coding", i.e. hacking at curly-bracket syntax in a performance setting. But it's GPL and not easily embeddable in mobile devices afaik ---

P.S. Custom python scripts against Ableton work great if you are using a hardware controller that supports the Framework classes. You can access pretty much the entire Max for Live object model, via python. It's definitely an unsupported back door though.

What draws people to Linux is the possibility of tinkering. It's not like tinkerers are always procrastinators but they prefer tasks that engage their "tinkerer sense": trying out a new API or maybe doing something unusual with an old one.

Doing something mundane with a known API is something they will avoid. Such tasks are probably in the majority of those found even in the most exciting jobs. This is what I believe to be the cause of the association.

Why must we always jump from A to B? I see this happen in all contentious subjects, but nowhere more than in education discussions.

The top-poster's point was about a very specific type of problem he's seen with some people watching some of Khan's videos. He does not even hint about the prevalence of the same problem in traditional schools.
re: specifics, of course and thanks for understanding my position to not yet be able to announce/disclose it (seriously, it is close). The POC was for that purpose, a night/weekend project for me over the past year until I realized it had legs. It needs just a bit more love before I could make it B2C ready, which is why I feel it's close. I would like to think that we can start making sales soon, however his role is not as much in B2C, it's B2B sales, which is why it's frustrating he wants to sell an MVP that isn't ready yet.

The key problem with Gnome 3 is that it wants to be both general-purpose and opinionated.

Gnome 2 was an excellent basis for a desktop because there were so many ways it could be used. It didn't limit you; you were free to trim out things you didn't want, or add things you wanted. Aside from that, it got out of the way.

Gnome 3 aims for the same demographic, but tries to force too many opinionated decisions on its users from the start. Distros that care about branding hate that because it makes it hard for them to differentiate (see Ubuntu). Many users hate that because it's too many things that they can't change without learning a new Javascript platform. It's certainly fair to say that typical Linux users (their target market, whether they like it or not) aren't used to that.

This post is wrong to blame tablets and smartphones for the decline. Linux users aren't abandoning desktops; they're abandoning Gnome 3, because it isn't giving them what they want. It's that simple.

On one hand, even if Valve did start developing for Linux, I'd wager that 99% of their engineers and their tools, as well as all the hardware they develop for (DirectX is mighty handy), are all based around Windows. You can't just switch that out overnight. I would say without those resources being available it would drasticaly reduce what they could develop. On the other hand, look at what Google/Facebook/GitHub/Android/etc. have done for the open source scene. I keep hearing rumours of Valve making a console, maybe a console/pc hybrid that can run steam on top of linux using their own SDK, I could believe it. It's tricky though, only because so much of Valves infastructure revolves around developing for windows, switching to Linux would cause a lot of their top egineers to be forced out. But christ, if MS forces Valve to leave the PC world and we are stuck with Origin and Games for Windows Live, the PC is officaly dead.
Also, I'm curious what the actual impact of it is. One of the main arguments against meat is that it takes a great deal more energy and work to create 1 pound of plant food than 1 pound of meat. From what I've seen, beyond meat uses some sort of manufacturing process to create it. How much energy does it take to ship all those materials and run that factory?
Well, where there's much to play with, you end up playing much.

I frequently find myself playing in my .vimrc, .screenrc, .bashrc and other confs to not much obvious productive output.

"Berkeley, California will have a theme park devoted to its high period—the 1960s."

There is not enough farm land to provide 7 billion people a western diet including 1500+ calories from beef every day. The only way to get close to that is to replace most farm land with solar panels supplement that with a lot of nuclear and wind energy and then factory farm plant matter using LED lighting in buildings and feed that to cows in another building.

Is it possible, sure but economics just a question of what your willing to sacrifice for what you want. And significant quantities of fake meat is probably a much better option for everyone involved.

Writing "pier" instead of "peer" is, just like writing "cat" instead of "dog," wiring something different from what you mean. Your reason for confusing "pier" and "peer" doesn't make them the same. Perhaps it's hard to get the right answer, but that doesn't make a wrong answer right.

Metro is a design philosophy, not anything that can be infringed. Microsoft is actually heavily evangelizing Metro, and would probably be pleased to see the competition playing catch-up for once. That said, individual interactions can be patented, and OUYA would definitely have to steer clear of this. I would say the biggest issue might be the colored button graphics representing the actions to perform; this looks and feels like Xbox, and would probably be a grey area for sure.
Not defending the article's glossing over the subject, but the nutrition facts don't look completely different from one randomly selected meaty equivalent. Both have protein, fat, sodium, iron and carbs in similar proportions, plus or minus a brick.

From One Ruby Dev to Another: Come Join Us
This seems like a consequence of the rise of cloud computing.

My experience is probably biased by the fact that I've been working in the Seattle area for most of the last decade. I've worked with and hired excellent engineers with Linux backgrounds and also Windows backgrounds. Elsewhere it may be harder to find top Windows devs.

In the '90s, developers built their own Linux desktops and servers because there wasn't any IT infrastructure capable of supporting us. After the dot com crash and the nearly simultaneous death of big-iron Unix, Linux IT support started to become a thing. Medium and large companies staffed up on Linux sysadmins and support staff, so it was possible for devs to just code and remain fairly ignorant of the underlying OS - or at least confine their knowledge to the theoretical domain.

Now that you can just spin up server resources in the cloud, I can see devs with Linux experience having an edge over those without.
I think it is just making its way towards a more realistic number. FB makes money and they are not a bad company, the stock was just way too high.
I believe google's equity is also structured similarly. The founders hold most of the voting rights even though they've liquidated a lot of stock.
This is maybe not the answer you want to hear. Outside of academia, there are not a lot of places that will hire you to do pure math. Most companies need the math to be applied to some product/strategy for revenue purposes. If your math has no application, then why would a company pay you for it. That being said, fields such as data science and machine learning (both applied) are pretty hot right now.

Cara Tradisional Mengobati Asam Urat
Cara Tradisional Mengobati Asam Urat dengan Ace maxs merupakan solusi terbaik dalam pengobatan tradisional asam urat, karena dalam khasiat Ace maxs terdapat kulit manggis dan daun sirsak yang memiliki banyak kandungan zat antioksidan yang sangat berperan dalam pengobatan asam urat. Cara Tradisional Mengobati Asam Urat dengan Ace maxs memang menjadi pilihan yang tepat. Walupun di bilang obat tradisional ace maxs diproses dengan sangat modern. Karena pengolahan ace maxs di dukung dengan teknologi canggih, hal ini dibuktikan karena demi menjaga keaslian mutu dan bahan baku yang terkandung dalam komposisi tersebut.<p>Ace Maxs yang terbuat dari kulit manggis dan daun sirsak bisa mengobati asam urat dengan tuntas dan aman, mengapa? Ini karena kandungan berbagai senyawa yang ada di dalamnya. Kulit manggis yang menghasilkan warna merah keunguan, dan amat sulit dibersihkan. Karena mengandung tanin, resin, dan crystallizable mangostine (C20H22O5), yang mudah larut dalam alkohol atau ether, tidak larut dalam air. Kulit manggis amat berkhasiat untuk membuang asam urat di dalam tubuh. Selain itu kandungan xanthone di dalam kulit manggis memiliki sifat sebagai antiperadangan dan bisa meredakan nyeri.
Kandungan senyawa tannin, fitosterol, caoksalat, dan alkaloid murisine dalam daun sirsak dipercaya mampu mengatasi asam urat. Sirsak juga memiliki efek diuretic (peluruh kencing) yang membuat sekresi asam urat melalui urine dapat berjalan lancer. Daun sirsak memiliki sifat anti-inflamasi (menekan peradangan) serta meredakan rasa nyeri yang timbul akibat terbentuknya kristal-kristal asam urat.

I'd probably argue that most private industry infrastructure efforts are decidedly not free markets. Given the politics involved in building out large utilities, governments tend to get heavily involved. Around the country this has resulted in some strange relationships between company and government, most involving some manner of limited monopoly in exchange for certain guarantees regarding types of service. Those agreements tend to be short-sighted and rarely updated, leaving us with aging infrastructure and legal impedements to competition.

> The problem with observational studies like those run by Willett and his colleagues is that they do none of this [test their hypotheses with real randomized controlled experiments]. That’s why it’s so frustrating. The hard part of science is left out and they skip straight to the endpoint, insisting that their interpretation of the association is the correct one and we should all change our diets accordingly.

> Moreover, this meat-eating association with disease is a tiny association. Tiny. It’s not the 20-fold increased risk of lung cancer that pack-a-day smokers have compared to non-smokers. It’s a 0.2-fold increased risk — 1/100th the size.

It is less efficient on time. But the speed of light delays back and forth over your local network are still much better than the time it takes to go anywhere interesting - like a data center.

Putting the motor in the wheels must produce a hefty increase in rotating mass and in un-sprung mass, both undesirable. It's necessary in the case of a retrofit, but in a from-scratch design I doubt an automotive engineer would try this.
