I and my wife co-sleep with my daughter that is now almost 4 months old, this worked very well for us, basically she sleeps the whole night, interrupting us just when she needs some milk. However because she is breastfed it is pretty natural because of co-sleeping so my wife just let she start getting the milk and fall asleep again after a few second.

Surely it does not work for everybody but when it works it means to have small children without having sleep depravation, so I suggest to try this approach of breastfeeding + co-sleeping for sure.

Btw we also don't use an alarm clock, but always go to bed around 00:00, and get up before 9:00 more or less automatically. When we don't sleep enough for some reason, the reality is that we lose a lot more time compared to the 9 hours of sleep as you are basically useless after noon because already too tired to really do great work (btw we actually sleep 8 hours, 1 hour is some pre-post bed time).

IMHO sleep depravation is very very linked to procrastination.

Yes, given that we now know that the genetic influence on IQ is going through thousands upon thousands of SNPs and genes with tiny effects each, it's unlikely that we're going to be doing anything fancy with the genetics of IQ anytime soon. (At best we might get something like Hsu's suggestion that we engage in embryo selection by making the best guess at which embryo has the most favorable set.) So from a sperm donation perspective, it's going to be hard to beat simply measuring phenotypic IQ and correlates.

> So we have no idea how to compare the trade-off between trying to influence people's IQs with shuffling different genes into them from the beginning of life versus influencing their IQs by improving their environments (at a critical stage of development? throughout life?) and we don't know which might have greater or more lasting effect.

They're not necessarily exclusive, of course. But since governments and charities already spend a ton on things like Headstart despite their long history of seeing IQ gains fading out, and the low-hanging fruit of nutritional interventions like pre-natal* iodization already taken, we would probably get more bang for the buck by looking at genetics - since no one is doing anything about that.

* I say pre-natal because I've been compiling post-natal studies on iodization in http://www.gwern.net/Iodine and one outlier aside, the effect on IQ or other cognitive effects is basically zero.

Mostly because mucking around with raw HTML is a pain, and very much error prone (missing closing tags, etc.). You can either spend the time learning the ins and outs of text editor shortcuts to make your HTML editing easier or you can spend the time working through another layer of abstraction (Emblem in this case).

Hive is not meant for real-time queries. Hive would merely serve as a baseline for comparison; what will be interesting is how it compares against Impala. And Hadapt, as @mwexler points out, and maybe also RedShift and BigQuery :)
Call me a luddite, but the idea of "supplements" in general is wacky to me (unless you have a health disorder). If I want protein I get it from food. If I want vitamins I get it from food (or other crazy things like sunlight). These things exist in nature for a reason; science didn't create the notion of a healthy body.

In fact, i'd propose that some people think about their health a little too much (myself included). Do something outside and don't eat a lot of crap. K.I.S.S.
Announcing the SF Hack & Tell group
Twitter Account for MTV Hacked
I'm surprised by the number of people who don't like using technology for what it was invented to do: make your life easier.

That's my point - I don't see this being much easier or particularly valuable, considering I will always have to be highly competent with straight HTML regardless. To me, this is a mental switch with little payoff (handlebars + HTML is fine).
Dental insurance is usually worthless. Check the yearly max benefit. I usually find it's $1000 and I would pay $35/mo. So I'm gambling $400 that I'll spend more than $400 in a year, in hopes of winning at most $600. No thanks.

For medical, I like shopping on http://www.ehealthinsurance.com . They have pretty good rates but it's usually worth to double-check with the provider's site after you settle on one.

Also don't bother getting maternity coverage. Plans have a 12-month waiting period and by that time, Obamacare will have mandated coverage for everyone.
The M.dot story: from prototype to acquisition by GoDaddy in 10 months

1. Consider joining an accelerator
2. Being a foreigner might be a feature, not a bug
3. Be open and coachable

5. STAY in Silicon Valley
6. Be prepared to fail with your idea and prototype
7. After a while, things start moving

Single-payer is a bit more nuanced than "government pays the bills".

Single-payer means that health care institutions remain private, government does not run or employ any doctors directly, and everything works much like it does today, except pricing is unified and the government pays all bills.

This is different from nationalized health care, especially on paper, where it can preserve market-style competitive pressure that a wholly nationalized system would not. Doctors and hospitals would still be on the hook for attracting customers.
I need to actually reposition my grid elements when breakpoints happen, not just resize or reflow them. The reordering seems promising (so I can alter the flow by appending css classes instead of needing to mess with html structure).

You can ask question of the instructor in a MOOC setting and it's actually much more efficient.

If several students have the same question, which is likely, then rather than having multiple individuals show up separately at office hours, a single post in a forum will answer that question for everyone, even those who didn't think to ask. This is a huge benefit to struggling students.

In general, MOOCs level the playing field in terms of socio-economic barriers to higher education. I believe this is the primary reason for their criticism. They erode the function of higher education in separating the haves from have-nots.

That depends on whether or not they distribute it with any of Canonical's trademarks (I'm assuming they have a trademark on Ubuntu, not to mention their own name).

Trademarks are completely independent from (and compatible with) open-source - look at 10Gen, which preserves the rights to the MongoDB name while releasing a product under the GPL.

I have to chime in on the opposite spectrum. I had an evo and use a note 2 as the primary phone. I rooted the evo and put on Cynogen because I got more from the phone by doing so. Removing touchwiz and putting on cynogen or other aosp on the note would net me less functionality this time around. Unless google adds a stylus to their spec I don't see the (absolute) inferiority of forking the aosp trunk.

If depression is not a malfunction, then we must at least accept that depression CAN malfunction. "Turning on" depression might be a useful ability, but there are people who can't turn it off, and others for whom it seems to turn on unbidden.
No one said there was anything wrong with that. The contact info is still valid. Domain privacy only means the owner has the option of revealing their contact info once the message is forwarded to them.
Sure, there's nothing wrong with that approach. But, for the same reason that you might put shoes on your feet when you go do something outside, you might find employing certain other technological advances useful in achieving your goals. We don't, after all, burn wood in our cars, we use gasoline -- even though the fundamental principle underlying both is the release of energy stored in hydrocarbon-based fuel. The difference is a step-function in refinement.

It depends on how goal-directed you are in this domain. Others may have higher, more specific, or more urgent health/fitness goals.

Transforming Shapes With Java AffineTranform
Microscopic traffic simulation is a difficult problem to solve, it's not car movement, it's driver's behaviour. The model has to be good enough to reproduce the current situation and, what is the most important part, be able to test realistically future scenarios.

In any case the new SimCity looks fantastic, maybe we can exchange our simulation model (Aimsun) for their graphic engine :)
Sum of elements in a 4-vector with SIMD in OpenGL/OpenCL style vector shuffle syntax:

vec4 sum = s1 + s1.zwxy; // sum = sum of v

One thing NERDTree does that netrw doesn't (IIRC, haven't looked very deeply into this) is open files you select in a different window than the one that contains the file listing. I happen to find that convenient, YMMV, of course.

Well, of course. But that's the point. Verizon can reskin it in exactly the way that CentOS does RHEL. And I have no problem with that. My interpretation was that mtgx thought this freedom (shared by me, Verizon, and whoever else wants to use it) was a bad thing ("the carriers should be powerless"), and I disagree.
Yes, but health insurance is not insurance at all. It's really a gross misnomer, and outside of a niche market, no one seriously sells health insurance.

Insurance is designed to protect the policy holder from an unlikely, catastrophic event they cannot afford otherwise - coverage of everyday costs is not insurance. Notice your insurance company doesn't pay to rotate your tires or change your oil.

Health care, no matter which country you go to, is more of the latter than the former. They aren't primarily insuring against unlikely catastrophic events - that's only a small part of their purpose - they are very obvious ways to spread costs around.

You can't treat health insurance like real insurance, even if they share a name.
Hmmm, after years of editing HTML and having lots of shortcuts in my muscle memory maybe I forgot that, so yeah that is a valid use case.
Apple, Mac computers hit by hackers who targeted Facebook
There are other (paid-for) office alternatives if you don't want to use MS Office or Libre Office. Corel's Wordperfect suite is one (http://www.corel.com). Or the very cheap Ability Office (http://www.ability.com) which brazenly copies the MS Office interface as closely as possible.

The German software company Ashampoo (http://www.ashampoo.com) has a cheap Office Suite too (in English, as well as other languages).

So if you're looking for an MS Office alternative, it's not a simply a case of Office vs the free or open-source alternatives. There are other paid-for options too, some of which are very cheap.
Yes, it's great for all the reasons you said and more. But I wouldn't say it's a big win for user rights yet. It might end up even more locked down by carriers and OEM's because it's open source (and of course because Canonical will allow that to happen to gain some market share):

Plus, don't forget all the deep Amazon integration, and who knows what else in the future, so they can monetize it. It might be that the whole OS will watch your behavior to target better content at you or something. I don't know how that will end up versus privacy there, so we'll see.

I hope Google implements Samsung dual-view idea in stock Android, though, as it would solve 90% of Android's "tablet app problem", as you can use two "phone apps" side by side, so scalability is not such a problem anymore as it looks like the app on a 6" or 7" device, which isn't too bad, and it also gives you the ability to use 2 apps at once, which should be better than just using one in most cases.
Greens are not enterprise drives and shouldn't be used in RAID arrays.

Their logic makes perfect sense for single disk and "green" (power saving.) Its just incredible what people will do to save a little cash on servers. Your company's data depends on them and you put in the cheapest Best Buy inventory you can find?
You should be asking your users that question in my opinion. What features would they like added? What feels clumsy?
You're talking about something different than nivia was. That comment was in reference to "write once, run anywhere" meaning that malware became cross-platform. A malicious Python app can do malicious things on any platform with Python just like a malicious Java app can do bad things anywhere you have Java.

The fact that this is exploitable through a browser plugin makes the risk of infection worse, but doesn't actually make it more cross-platform, per se.
Apps that exist are better than apps that don't exist. Ask WebOS users, the few that still are out there. The only way to make web apps as nice is to put the engineering effort into making them as nice (something only Mozilla is seriously doing at this time). Another proprietary mobile ecosystem isn't going to be adopted.
A masters degree isn't sufficient either - engineers are people with "hands on" experience and even the best Masters programmes simply cannot deliver that.

Sim City 4 is single threaded and only uses one core, which is why it is so slow on new hardware.

The other major drawback to Sim City 4 is that there is a bug which prevents rich ($$$) Sims from working in the High Tech industry. The only way to fix this is to use a 3rd party mod.
There's not much to maintain. I ported the matcher from Command-T out of its ruby-C wrapper, and it more or less just works. I use it dozens or hundreds of times a day.
First one sounds odd. What sort of "clinic"? That's not really a word I associate with medicine.

Second clearly sounds like a fuck up. Current "wait to first treatment" target is 2 weeks. What happened when you tried to sue?
The 320 had a brickable fw bug? I have 5-10 or so in production and have no issues. Maybe mine have a newer FW. I always update them when I give them out.
I agree, its simulation has depth that rivals Civilization V. And even better, the game's simulation is run on the Maxis servers so it doesn't lose speed with larger cities. Sim City 4 and Civ 5 both have problems with processing large maps. Totally worth the DRM for me.
Don't hold your breath for "fixing" LTE and microsd in Nexuses.

LTE is currently a negotiation point in hands of carriers. The price of supporting LTE would be no timely updates (see also Verizon and Sprint Galaxy Nexus). This is something that Google will not compromise about.

MicroSD is a slightly different story, it has several problems:

UX ones:

- most users are confused by two separate storage pools (see the confusion: "I have XY gigabites free on the phone, why can't I install this app?")
- the SD card has to be unmounted, when the phone is attached to the computer - that means killing everything, that was launched from the card.

Technical:

- The MicroSD performance is inferior to eMMC.

Legal:

- You have to license FAT32 and exFAT (for SDXC) from Microsoft. (Yes, I know that it is technically possible to use different filesystems with SD cards - but that is a decision that would not go very well with mainstream users who just want to connect the phone to their Windows or Apple computer).
State of the Alley 2013 – Infographic
That a quad core A15 is required to run the desktop convergence is a bit disappointing to me, although with the rate of progress in the ARM world i suppose it won't be an issue for long (ie. requiring expensive cutting edge devices with poor battery life), and no doubt lower devices will be 'hacked' to allow it being open source.

I really have to congratulate ubuntu on staying strong for so long on their unity vision; this is clearly the realisation of that. I hope that they manage to get some OEM support (hello Asus?), the momentum does seem to be there now IMO.

Jumping in to make one recommendation: Hitsniffer, real-time analytics: http://hitsniffer.com

I've used them for several years now and they are awesome.
I was the co-founder/CTO of ElectNext, and I think we had a great idea with good execution, but we found it extremely hard to monetize. Cyclical elections and lack of public interest are big challenges. I'd happily do more volunteer side projects to improve American government, but I'd be reluctant to try building another business around it.

I suspect a successful Open Gov business is mostly about finding a market. The people spending money on elections are mostly campaigns, and open government is not necessarily in their interests. Being in this space seems like studying environmental science: sure you hope to protect the wilderness, but most potential employers want your help getting around the laws. (Pardon my cynicism.) I think Votizen is essentially lead gen for campaigns, and we felt a lot of pressure to go that way. Perhaps one market would be helping big-dollar contributors find the best people to fund?

Even if you want to sell to campaigns, you should be aware that most election IT is partisan. Democrats have their solutions and Republicans have theirs. There is too much distrust for a vendor to service both sides.

On another note, one of the great things about open government work is that it makes sense for all kinds of political viewpoints. My co-founder worked on the Hillary campaign, while I'm pretty libertarian. Most of the people I met doing Open Government work were very liberal, but in my opinion anything that increases government transparency and accountability is good for reining in state power.

EDIT: added 2 paragraphs.
Nice job :) I've been in the same spot. Looking forward to try this out.
You're right, that's exactly the case. Sorry if I explained it poorly. The spot where this gets really fantastically expensive is when you get to the "wash, rinse, repeat" part of the situation. After all, someone who is just being stabilized and discharged without significant treatment of the underlying cause is much more likely to just get sick again.

There's a hospital in the town where I grew up which managed to shave millions off of the cost of operating their emergency department in a rather instructive way: They identified their most expensive repeat patients, and started just paying to send them in for regular medical care for whatever health problems it was they had. Yeah it meant that they were giving out free health care to these folks, but that turned out to be nothing compared to the cost of having them show up in an ambulance every other week.
Embedded print Statements = Debugging
A silly article by someone with an obvious bias.

Those who opt for online courses at community colleges are:

Those with childcare barriers (poor Moms)

Those with 1 or more full time jobs

Those who are intimidated by the college atmosphere

ELL students

Disabled students

Those who want easy education with little effort put

Those living in rural areas

These are the groups least likely to succeed. The selection bias in this case is impossible to get around without a legitimate RCT.

It's eye opening to see the backlash against an emerging trend that does nothing more than offer educational opportunities to more people at a substantially lower cost. Who loses? The guy writing the editorial most likely.
