Generalization or Specialization: Which is best?
I understand summer learning loss, but that doesn't mean that KIPP is actually the best model (or even beneficial) in practice, especially at scale. Also, summer learning loss only measures math and reading performance on standardized tests, not executive function, intrinsic motivation, etc. And even on those measures, the difference isn't especially huge in math, so we're really only talking about reading ability. (Neither high-SES nor low-SES are doing math problems over the summer.) Is year round schooling really the best way to close the literacy gap?

Also, KIPP is voluntary now, but my understanding is that Gates is trying to make it the standard model of schooling. I have less of an issue with parents sending their kids to the program voluntarily, though I still think it's a bad idea.
Even if you don't use credit cards often, they still build credit. Likewise, + or - 1% in cash back won't set you forward or backwards too much, especially for the few merchants who will charge fees, to really justify changing habits. Pay 99% at merchant A (cashback), 100% at merchant B (cash), or 104% at merchant C (surcharge on credit card).

Exactly, the configuration options are daunting, and your average consumer doesn't understand a SAN architecture well-enough to make the right choices. It's sort of a catch-22, where any company looking at a low-end SAN also doesn't have the personnel to run any SAN effectively.

NetApp's FAS product line has 3 families: the 2xxx series, the 3xxx series, and the 6xxx series. Each of these families then also has sub-groupings based on release date/capabilities, like the 20xx series, 22xx series, etc. So the 2040 is their lowest-end filer they still sell (and that supports the latest OS version), while the 2240 is the newer build designed to replace the 2040 (better CPUs, RAM, etc).

The 2xxx series (2040 (older, but available), 2220, 2240) are all lower-end and have limited expansion capabilities, as well as including disks in the controller chassis. The 2240 is unique in that it can support a single 10Gb ethernet card or an 8Gb FC card (but not both at the same time), while the rest of the 2xxx family can't.

The 3xxx series (3140 (older), 3220, 3250) are mid-range filers with decent expansion options (SSD/Flash PCIe card, 10Gb ethernet, 8Gb fiber channel, more SAS ports, etc).

The 6xxx series (6040, 6080, with the 62xx series coming soon) are high-end filers with tons of expansion ports and built-in ports to handle larger workloads and higher total storage limits.

The v-series is designed to be a front-end to another SAN, giving you the NetApp suite of software/capabilities without rebuying all of that disk.

There's also the E-series, which is the Engenio tech they're selling after acquiring them a year or two ago. I haven't worked with that, but it's the very high-end filer.
I never had a facebook account and they make it harder and harder for me to get one.
Yeah, obviously I'm not "in the know" regarding what steps Fox might have skipped. I just know that:

a) If a song is published (and BGB was) then anyone has the right to cover it (a compulsory license always exists)

b) If someone covers it, the covering artist gets no copyright of the musical material - all that is retained by the song copyright owner(s). (This makes intuitive sense, as it otherwise would restrict the ability of other artists to create more covers of the song. You'd have to make sure that your arrangement choices didn't conflict with ANY other arrangements out there.)

c) The covering artist does have copyright over the sound recording of the arrangement.

Now, if techie people wanted to get involved in a way they could actually affect things, rather than just theorizing about what someone's actions/motivations might have been, there's opportunity here:

Coulton released a karaoke track of his version of BGB. It's released by-nc-sa. It's considered likely that Fox used this karaoke track as the backing track for their version. If so, they have infringed on all three portions of the license (no attribution, they're selling it, they didn't release it share-alike).

So - I don't know how to do this, but it seems like someone could do a statistical analysis of the karaoke track, and Fox's version, and prove within some statistical likeliness that Fox used the karaoke track and did not simply re-record their own instruments. (Note that it WOULD be legal for Fox to re-record Coulton's arrangement note-for-note since it would no longer be using Coulton's sound recording.)
> We know that Gates is aware of this, because he is credited with having once said: "Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight." We can only hope that he is keeping this in mind; he certainly makes no reference to the problem in this piece.

From my experience, it seems the solution the software industry used was very much like putting rocket engines on planes made of lead.
Any smart merchant won't add a Surcharge for credit, but instead a discount for cash.
Your comment doesn't "feel" true to me. But I'm signed into Google Plus on a daily basis and while it turned out that one of my coworkers is married to a Googler, she's the only Googler I interact with on a semi-regular basis. And I pretty much met her through G+; it was months later that we actually met in real life.
The cashback reward programs are funded by the fees merchants are paying. The fact that you are using credit cards to get free money from merchants seems to be an argument in favor of this change.

One intervening factor, imo, is that adding support for C++11 is a complex and unpleasant enough undertaking that few volunteers are able to do it, and fewer of those are interested in doing so. I would guess most language/compiler hackers would rather hack on something other than the mess that is C++ compilation, if they have a choice (and if they're volunteers, they do have a choice). So it ultimately boils down to what companies want to do, since many enterprises are heavily invested in C++. If someone pays their employees to contribute support for GCC, it'll get done, and otherwise, it's less likely. Not that much different from the Clang situation, where C++11 is only really getting implemented because Apple cares enough about getting C++11 support into XCode to pay for it to happen.

Certain "journalists" are seriously jumping the gun if they assume GCC is just going to shrivel up and die. In addition to mainline, it is used privately in a hundred different branches, several of which are commercially supported (e.g. Codesourcery, Google Native Client) and many the public will never know about.

There is a vast body of consumers who care more about maturity and stability than a few convenient front-end tricks, which the majority of C++11 ultimately amounts to. As for whether GCC is somehow "too far gone" to catch up, well that's just nonsense, the core technology has barely changed in 10 years. Things will improve when commercial needs arise and as eager PHDs hunt for final year projects.

While ancient, there is immense diversity in GCC's configurations, and AFAIK its code generator still maintains an edge over Free alternatives. Of the purported speed improvements elsewhere, anecdotal evidence from my Macbook suggests LLVM is slower at building smaller projects (predicted long ago by smart types that knew LLVM was only fast because it lacked features).

It's worth noting that GCC already supports significantly more C++11 than either MSVC11 or ICC, although this article makes no such comparison. Like the majority of articles from Phoronix, this one is blinded by the new hotness (LLVM) and a generally superficial appreciation of the subject matter.
Manufacturing is still non-trivial. It's not the kind of things two guys in an apartment can figure out like launching a web app. There are a lot of stakeholders and expertise involved, no matter where you actually go to get it done.
C++11 is a theoretical language developed by a committee which doesn't really exist in practice.

That gcc, like most other C++ compilers, does not support it, means little.

Credentials seem to make the most sense when you are just starting out or when you want to start over in a new area because you have little if any experience.

More regulated areas simply require a piece of paper. Not that this always seems to help: in California to be a mortgage broker you need a real estate license which requires you pass several college level classes, take an long exam, get fingerprinted and have a certain amount of experience. Yet none of this prevented all the problems we recently saw.
Smart move! This will neutralize cloudfoundry's advantage. We should see Appfog like platforms on Google cloud in future.
Also see PreciseJump, which was the first vim plugin to do this.
We are moving towards a pricing structure where the advertised price is not the price you pay.

I'm from the UK, but my limited experience in the US says: that ship has well and truly sailed. I'm never quite able to get used to sales tax added at the checkout, and substantial and essentially-mandatory tipping across many services.

In Europe you basically always pay the advertised price in a shop or pub, and you can do so at a push in a bar/cafe/restaurant. (In France, I believe even a service charge is included in restaurant menu prices).
I lived in Chengdu, Sichuan from 2004-2005 as an exchange student. Have taken 4-5 trips to various parts of China since then. Foreigners are of course becoming less of a novelty in China than they once were. It's definitely getting better. But seeing a tall white man speaking fluent Mandarin still commonly evokes Dashan comparisons. It isn't really offensive, it just gets mildly annoying by the 1,000th time you hear it.

The random casting calls were much more offensive. Not sure if they still do this--in the bigger cities like Shanghai and Beijing they probably don't have to anymore--but when I was in China, the demand for white faces in marketing media greatly outstripped the supply, so it was very common to be approached and begged to participate in some type of photo shoot or stage act for perhaps 1,000 kuai. So, any white guy could feel like Dashan for a day if he were so inclined.
I don't think denial is the best way to cope with the news.

Last time I checked C++11 has been an ISO standard since last August, with MS and Clang ramping up their support for it.
Does it even care if it's rejected or not? There is a prior patent, doesn't that count as 'prior art' (i.e. this new patent is just overpriced paper)?

Rich whites were specified.
Something interesting to note is that the complexity and internal coupling in GCC was an intentional design decision by GNU to make it harder for non-free software projects to make use of gcc.

Here's a pretty good talk about the philosophical motivations behind Clang and the current work being done on it:

You're missing out on using the normal meaning of ; which is really useful.

I prefer to map the space bar to : instead. The space bar is not usually mapped to anything, so you wouldn't be masking any other function by mapping it.

Also, for jumping long distances, you should really try PreciseJump or EasyMotion. (mentioned elsewhere in this thread)
Well, you always have time to change. Thinking you can't gets you into a negative spiral downwards, and to be honest is also false. When I was starting to run I talked with a 55year old guy who ran a marathon once a year about it being difficult for me to start since I didn't have any experience. He casually told me it was hard for him too when he started 5years ago. He never did any sports prior and had to start from scratch at 50... I realize now 'not being able to' is actually 99% of the time all in your head. Just find a way to start easy and keep going...
Vimium for Chrome is yet another similar plugin (but the keys start mapped to home row, similar to vim.)
Thank you for your feedback.

Very neat! Does this have a license associated with it?
For me, credit cards are a tool that gives me a 1% discount on purchases, and protects me from fraud.

I've made over $1,000 in cash back rewards and was refunded $250 in charges from 2 different purchases that turned out to be fraudulent.

I always pay my balance down to $0 at least once a month.
I see your point, but considering that there are almost no advances in cancer treatment over last decades (despite all that research), may be it would make some sense to spend some of that money to help sick people? Especially 2 year old kid with such rare type of cancer? In fact trying to help him could be a great research in itself, but looks like it's not something they are interested in.

> drive GCC into the garage and refactor it for two years."

Wasn't this essentially what the egcs project did? It's possible that GCC might need another round of this; could doing that provide a potential avenue out of the current troubles?
The reason that gcc loses the original context is that rms wanted it that way. The "middle" of gcc is muddy expressly to make it difficult to "plug-in" a proprietary optimizer.

The forced transition to GPL v3 isn't helping. OS X and Free SD are both largely transitioned to LLVM. Linux is a holdout, but how long will it be able to prop up gcc on its own?
They do it by not bringing up the word "friend" everywhere, actually. Compare Wordpress versus Livejournal; the latter is practically a synonym for emo angst, even though there are strong intellectual posts on the site, but the former doesn't have such a connotation. The problem with having a network with your friends is that there's a natural echo chamber that inhibits really high quality discussion. It's not impossible, but it's a lot harder.

By touting circles as a way to follow completely random people, smart people who want smart posts will naturally gravitate towards other such people and it causes a network effect: at minimum, lots of sharing; at maximum, heavy duty responses.

People don't move away from convenient transportation. One good transportation is built the rent around the stations goes up because of the desireability of being near public transportation. The only exception I know of where public transportation lines are shut down because demand for them dropped are in Detroit, and that has everything to do with people moving out of the city entirely and not just moving to a place across town.
Overtone 0.8.0 Released
But neither fully supports it yet, just as GCC doesn't. Even when they claim to support every feature in the standard, that's just the beginning -- next comes fixing all the bugs and corner cases that naturally arise from a spec as complex as C++11.
Is VAT (which, from the standpoint of a consumer purchasing something at retail, acts as a "very large sales tax") not added at checkout? Is it normally listed on the sticker prices throughout the store?
It depends on the amount of cash, I think.
I've been using AngularJS for a project over the last few days and I've found that it really helps with the structure of the JS.

Some other points:

- haven't tried Angular testing yet but it has end-to-end testing (and you can swap out your backend services for mocking)

- you can use Celery (uses RabbitMQ/Redis/Mongo/whatever underneath for the broker) for offloading the jobs in Python. Just add a decorator to your work function, makes it really easy (you can also use PiCloud if you need something with more crunching power)

- ElasticSearch docs are still a bit of a minefield. I was already familiar with Solr and Lucene and I struggled with them (ElasticSearch is really nice though)

- Lucene itself is very complicated when you need it to do more for you. ElasticSearch can't protect you from that complexity but there is a mighty engine down there to solve all your searching needs

- Mongo makes dev easy, but I worry about the long term cost when things get complex. I did a job recently and found that my brain struggled to keep the internal Mongo doc structure intact.

- I wouldn't make a single page app if I wanted it indexed by google. I guess there are usecases but I haven't run into them yet.

It's still early days for this stuff and it still has a way to go. We're all going to learn some lessons along the way I'm sure.

Thanks for sharing your code, I'll look at it later when I'm not supposed to be getting a job finished :)
Did he put silicone prongs on it?

That seems like a really bad idea. Silicone rubber is high friction - it's going to make cleaning the bristles hard work. And cleaning the prongs is going to be hard.
If it ever were the case that Google would lock you out entirely, that is no longer the policy (nor has it been for a long time). A lot of the early reports that people were getting locked out of Google were centered around one person, who claimed to have been locked out from Google over his name, but it turned out the lockout was because he'd uploaded questionable images to his account (I can't find a link at the moment, but here is Matt Cutts alluding to it: https://plus.sandbox.google.com/u/1/+MattCutts/posts/NNJduMF...).

Just curious, do you have to pay a fee to use any ATM?
Do any languages matter? Is it irrelevant that language X does not have a compiler when language Y does?

The answer is that languages are hugely important. C++11 is an entirely huge language and having a standards and feature compliant compiler is critical to being productive in the language.
Result of artificially constraining an activity by arbitrary parameters can be wildly creative, not to mention hugely lucrative. Think of something like Bollywood - get rid of serious, credibile drama, and replace with mindless 3 hour melodrama with 5 titillating songs per film, your film finds a guaranteed million plus audience, no matter what garbage you churn out:) Intellectual filmmakers in India who fight this market and mindset with "improving content" are very quickly driven to bankruptcy & become Roger Eberts for the local trade publications :))

Programming languages are ultimately an exercise in artificially tying up your arms & asking you to type with your left toe. Try coding a naturally recursive catamorphism in a language that doesn't support recursion. Try storing a billion emails under a megabyte with clever supercompact data structures. Try coding functionally in imperative C. All of these things can & have been done. Why do people do these things ? So also Vine.
Credit cards and merchants should be able to have any arrangement that they want. A credit card that has no customer fees seems like a nice one to have. From this article, I assume this will not be possible.
Can't say much about the speed except in my case LLVM was marginally faster. Of course, that could be due to the size of the project as you say.

> There's really a lot of hyperbole in these discussions.

I'm starting to see these discussions as an example of fundamentalism. A lot of people talk as if they're being threatened by this; it's reminiscent of listening to people talk about how marriage is under siege. I'd love to see a language analysis comparing the two, actually, for a more objective perspective.

I mean... how much of this debate is driven by an unconscious thought along these lines: "I still use Facebook, even though everyone agrees it's evil. I feel bad about that, but I don't want to leave my friends there. We could move to G+ or something, but it'd be hard to get everyone to go."
It still groups a large amount of people under one banner segmented with race as a variable.

Why can it not just be "rich people"?
