One time I was going to a wedding and I didn't know where it was because my family sent a cab to take me to the hotel. Border guard told me to go to the payphone (hadn't used one in years) and get the address. I complied then asked her what was preventing me from walking out the airport. She told me absolutely nothing. Although I imagine some information would probably be enterred in the USCIS database.

Deleuzian materialists on HN!

Deleuze and de Landa were my primary inspirations during graduate architecture school. I wrote about how such thinking might be incorporated into a web design.[1]

He wants to be an exchange student in high school, but instead of doing it through a program like AFS or Rotary, he's arranging things himself and put up a website to find a family. With programs you don't get so much say as to where you go, often not even the country, much less the state. Since he's a techie, i'd imagine he wants to end up in Silicon Valley or near by. Seems like a smart tactic to me. That said, he probably needs a follow up page or something for folks who are serious about hosting, which includes what it's like and need to host him as a high school exchange student.
But not a better host :p

That said it seems that cabal-dev is not packaged for Debian. Come the wheezy release of Debian the hakyll project I wished to try out will be available as a .deb, so I'll try it again then.
I think the Spring concepts confuse things more than solve problems. Example: configuring stuff in a bean.xml file, your code does not own the creation of the instances, some magical springy mechanism does it for you. What's wrong with just letting the program read its startup parameters from a properties file? Stack traces from springy code is just that like trying to eat a pea with a knife.
Keep in mind that you were self-experimenting with a tablet in limited ways vs the holistic approach this school is taking. Problems that you encountered trying to use a tablet in a book-oriented environment could be solved by curriculum changes, technology improvements, UI changes, etc.

While improvements to a tablet approach can resolve all of the problems you're mentioning, a regular book will never be regex searchable. A regular piece of paper will never let the teacher know your scores immediately so she can help you past problems and provide instant feedback. A regular set of class books will never decrease the need to linearly increase the number of pieces of paper needed for the amount of materials you want the students to have.

Personally, I feel that a lot of the Java hate is misplaced.

Just because most Java programmers/architects use/love J2EE, crazy XML/DI frameworks, etc. is not a fundamental attribute of the language itself, just an unfortunate result of how it's mainstream usage has evolved.

I assert you can write "nice Java", either with something like (shameless plug):

It's my understanding there's already a "tegra" store for Android games. And it basically is the market for 'console-quality' Android gaming.

So they've seemingly got a leg up in developer interest and would have an existing library to leverage.
I am wondering how true this is with Android 4.1+, because audio latency was one of the major goals for Android 4.1 and more so in 4.2 and was supposed to bring audio latency on par with iOS.

See: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html (Section is called Low-latency Audio).

edit: So, even when said apps were not possible in the past, now would be a very good time to port your app (or those apps in general), because then this is a niche which is not yet filled and there is some money to be made by being #1 in that niche :)

This "formula" appears to be meant as a shortcut to remind people following his plan to eat higher micronutrient per calorie foods. I don't think it was ever meant to be a proper math equation or anything, and I'm surprised people are picking this one aspect out of context to ridicule it endlessly without truly understanding what Dr. Fuhrman means by it.

I'm inclined to agree with you. In fact I personally prefer the boring sites where most of the important content is presented on screen with minimal scrolling. However I also started building websites in the early 90s when bandwidth dictated design.

You're polemically trying to start a political argument when this school is trying to solve academic challenges.

The fact is that the iPad is (or at least was) the best tablet available for them to use, so they used it rather than get trapped in the morass of trying to create hardware or use hardware that wasn't as far along.

In reality, they're validating a model that would make it easier for open source alternatives to flourish down the road.
An iPad will never last five years: if they don't become laughably obsolete, they will be broken.
Perhaps some classifications aren't, but this one is: It's referring to east/west of the iron curtain which not only divided europe geographically, but culturally. This divide is still quite visible, and I don't mean that in a sense derogatory to the east.

Q: Oh no, I don't know where I am in the scroll list.

A: Who gives a rats ass? Your content is right there. Interesting items you found along they you open in a new tab so that you don't have to backtrack.

Q: But I want to quick jump to page 45?

A: Why 45? You just pulled that number from your hat (read: ass) anyway. What you really should be looking for is the search field.

Nice post, I have a question on one piece of it though.

In your final version of splitSpaces() you are calculating the length of b - 1 in the condition of the for loop.

Is Go calculating len(b) - 1 in every iteration or is it smart enough to move it out of the condition at compile time?
Odd, I've talked to multiple unrelated defense experts who recommend it (police, military and self defense trainers in the US). It's an area-of-effect tool, doesn't require extensive training to effectively use, and thanks to being non-lethal, should give people much less pause to deploy when needed than something like a firearm - decision lag is a real problem when talking about self-defense.

You're nearly guaranteed to be impacted to some degree by using pepper spray, BUT it will also be very effective in changing the course of a bad situation - it will provide a chance to get away.

It's true that current software has limitations, but I'm confident these will be improved and I've found loads of workarounds. I run pan & paper RPGs and have a lot of reference material in different PDFs, many of which are compilations of pages I've put together myself with PDFtk[1].

One trick is to screenshot the pages you need to refer to frequently into a photo album. You can also photo pages from paper books for quick reference this way. I also use this trick with map screenshots for journeys where I won't have online access. I used that for a trip to the Lake District.

Another trick is to have each PDF file you need to switch between open in a separate app, then four-finger swipe between them. When you learn that trick it's amazing how well it works. Many of the PDFs I keep in iBooks are also in Dropbox and Google Drive and my most used ones are pinned/starred for local storage so I can easily move back and forth between three different files. This method probably won't work as well for ebooks though. Far from ideal, sure, but I've found it a very practical and usable solution.

They were not transforming any enterprises, they were selling working software. That is a much simpler problem. Most companies do not care about your internal methodologies, they only care about delivering what they need.

This does raise an interesting point. Maybe this is just me, but have others been noticing a great disillusionment with IT? I can universally bash IT to anyone I know and no one ever defends them. If what the people I am talking to is true, IT departments everywhere are focused on preventing change and delivering things without value.

Canadian tea drinker checking in. I've used an electric kettle all my life and don't see what the problem is...

Electric kettles are common here even though we use 110V power. I've never timed it, but I think they can bring cold water to a boil in maybe 3 minutes, which is okay with me.

If electric kettles are rare in the States then I think it's because of a cultural difference, not because of the mains voltage. Sure it would be convenient if kettles boiled faster, but I don't think it makes that much of a difference.

For what it's worth, I have been maintaining more of _why's code than anyone else over the last few years, and no, I didn't 'read a psychological/philosophical book,' I read lots of them. ;) This stuff is broadly applicable across all of technology, not just _why: I happen to believe that grokking Deleuze/de Landa is incredibly important for technologists, especially on the web.

That said, you are entitled to your opinion that "there's not that much to it," but I have too much evidence to believe that's the case. I just hinted at it here; when you need to summarize an entire school of thought _and_ share how to apply it, it can get a bit lengthy, and I wasn't in the mood for that, but did have many people asking me "what do you think about the possible return of _why."
I woke up one day 4 years ago and realised that I wanted to learn mathematics. I realised I had always wanted to learn Mathematics - only I had never before understood what it actually was. I now have a MSc in mathematics and I am getting to the point where I am able to bring that knowledge to bear on my satellite interests, mathematical physics and my own ideas for GAI.

It is documents like this which have helped me get to here and will take me to where I want to be.

Well, it was implied. Why else mention 'Eastern Europe'? Do we ever mention geographical location in other articles, as in "this startup from the Eastern US has..."? Nope, we don't.

Here, "Eastern Europe" seems to have been included (in combination with "16 year old") to evoke an image of an inexperienced youngster in an underdeveloped, backwards area that is nevertheless outperforming you.

So no, no-one mentioned Borat, but the imagery associated with it was certainly implied.

I'm a programmer, and I want you to know that if I work for you I'm probably going to lie to you, in two ways.

The first way is that you're going to ask a question you think I understand, and I'm going to answer your question in a way I think you understand, when in reality we're speaking two different languages. The result will wind up making both of us look bad.

The second is that I'm going to tell you something is done when it's not. This is really a follow-on of the first item - I'm going to think that it's done, because I've done everything you asked me to, but when you look at it's going to be clear that it's not done, because something assumed didn't get done.

I'd recommend you read Rapid Development and/or Code Complete, if you haven't already. They are important books, that will be a good read for you even if they are more for the programmer perspective.

Using backlit tablets for extended periods gives me really bad eye strain. I tried reading on my (high-res) iPad when I first got it, and after an hour my eyes were hurting too bad to continue.

AFAIK this is caused by eyes drying due to reduced blink rate. All backlit tablets will have this problem.

Therefore, I still buy old-school books and print out material when I need to read it in-depth.

Does no-one else think this is a concern when giving young children tablets as a replacement for non-backlit books?

I'm 10 years older than you, but when I'm doing development, I hardly use physical materials at all anymore. Development problems melt like butter when confronted with Chrome->Google->stackexchange. The last thing I want to start doing is searching around for the right book, look through the index, thumb from indexed page to indexed page, look back at the index because I forgot the 4th page number I saw that looked like it might apply, wonder if the latest version of the framework I'm using fixed the problem I'm seeing, etc.

My kids live on their tablets and computers.

They will have even less problems adapting to that mode of working than we do - and the solutions they have to reproduce useful paper techniques like highlighting and note taking will completely change the picture in high-tech's favor.
Webpages changes fashion with a rather steady rate.

Before this growing style, white "clean" pages with minimal content was in style and is still in favor. Before then, extremely detailed "photoshopped" pages with a bunch of flash was in style (and menus, menus, menus). Before then, geocity and frontpage style, with blinking animations and sound. Before then, Spreadsheet style and link tables.

I wonder what this style should be called. I do like the name "flow style".
Interesting comment - I occasionally kick myself for not diving into K/Q and J, specifically because I think of them being well-suited for "robust analytics system(s)."

Indeed, just moderate with everything you do and you should be safe. But if you read your daily favorite mag or newspaper you can make an easy case that almost everything causes and prevents cancer and causes and prevents coronary issues. All depends on the year it is published; it flips every few years for a lot of things like coffee, milk and so on. I don't think we know too much (yet) and moderation will probably be the safest thing.
That will remove limescale from the heating element. Unfortunately some of it also finds its way into the auto-cutoff mechanism, causing it to switch off prematurely (or occasionally fail to switch off.)
