> I don't think biology will ever be "understood" in the same way that derivatives or diffusion or gravity is understood. There's so many levels of nested complexity that it is totally mind-boggling, and I'm surprised more biologists aren't impressed by the sheer fact that any of it works at all.

...yet at the same time biology and medicine will probably be the hardest fields for computers to "make discoveries in" for quite some time, except low level molecular biology things like low scale protein interaction or selecting from dug-candidate molecules. There's so much data so "badly formatted" and full of ambiguity that I can't even imagine when an AI will be able to read medical research papers and make sense of them - it's hard even for humans. Otoh there will be tons of data where computers will be able to search for patterns, but the actual knowledge necessary to transform "patterns" into "discoveries" is in the icky ambiguous format of papers and books that are impossible to make sense of for any less-than-human-level-AI.

I think that Paul Graham's essay "Why Nerds Are Unpopular." hasn't aged a day.[0]

I sincerely doubt that anybody is going to stop bullying anywhere without addressing the root causes. And I doubt the root cause is that kids are inherently evil monsters.

We have well documented progressions in physiology for age estimates of younger people[1]. Though these are quite inaccurate, as recent cases of Indonesian child sailors jailed in Australia as adults have shown. I would think the uncertainty would only grow with age as different lifestyles wear bodies in drastically different ways.

BBC Programme pages with embedded iPlayer change the title of the page to contain a ▶ (play symbol) when the content is playing.

E.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qrn4y

Perhaps this is common but I hadn't seen it until recently.

EDIT: wanted to add that this means you can see that the page is 'playing', but it doesn't work if you pin the tab in Chrome.
And yet, being 'locked in', as you describe it, teaches a valuable life lesson: sometimes you have to deal with what you have, instead of run away or hide. As described above, sometimes you need to punch a factor that makes your situation undesireable and triggers your "flight" response to greatly increase your situation.

As in, this is your life, deal with it. You can't run away, so fix your problems instead of running from them. Teachers turn their back on you, so it's up to you. etc etc etc.

Learning that will help you in your life. Your job sucks: you can either run away and find something else, or you can kick it into high gear and make it worth your while, save the company, get rich. Depending on situation, of course.

I've got the same development capabilities with my current MOAI environment - dev on Linux or OSX, deploy to repo, get app for any of the architectures built by my build server: linux-amd64, linux-x86, linux-arm, osx app bundle, ios appbundle, android, windows, NaCL ..

For live code-reloading, I simply use MOAI Remote when needed:

https://github.com/seclorum/metalab_sessions/tree/master/MOA...

But the whole point of having a native build environment for my dev machine, in the first place, is not really having to do much live-redeploy to mobile environments .. I easily spend 95% of my time developing MOAI code on Linux, running it on Linux, and then a little time spent just testing the build on all the target platforms. For the most part, it works extremely well ..
Or how about a 17 year pause? One should read Akasofu's work. He predicted this pause and offers an explanation.
Create Your Custom Browser Extension - No Programing Required
I have been using LOOM for the past few months in beta. The live-workflow really streamlines development and changes how you build apps and games. The live-reload feature is development-time only. With -live-reload enabled, you simply press save and new bytecode and game assets are pushed to running apps over wifi. The edit/run cycle is very fast and provides for great team iteration on gameplay and graphics.

LOOM uses a dialect of AS3/ES4+(hint of C#) but compile to LuaVM bytecode. The runtime uses Lua/LuaJit(where allowed) and has a 2Mb footprint but this can be optimized in the native sdk.

Since early alpha the sdk has been very solid and as @bengarney's 3rd development platform, it has it where it counts.

In this area was hoping for the NoteSlate to succeed, but it seems that it went waporware.

For notetaking the refresh speed is not so critical, as the areas to refresh are limited to the writing spot. You would probably notice lag, but if you ever drew with heavyweight painting/retouching programs, lag sometimes is introduced by processing and you just get used to it (you just don't expect immediate results and keep going).

I would still prefer a slight lag and the ability to avoid a glass screen in this case.

> Somewhere, someone didn't slow this project down to do due diligence

In it a nutshell.

If anything, there should have been multiple flags raised.

1) A ball park figure should have been estimated on what this should cost, broken down by equipment type.

2) That should have made it clear that switches would be fine for multiple use cases, and the overall estimate should have dropped. *

3) Back and forth with provider as haggling over components proceeds. Massive attention to detail would be shown here.

4) First quote received from Cisco. Due diligence proceeds, issues raised. Customers says NO, just to buy negotiation room. (fine they have a grant, maybe not so aggressive)

5) Updated quote, go back to 4 if issues.

6) Quote acceptance. Now monitoriing of execution.

There should have been many opportunities for flags to have been raised, even before the quote was received. And most definitely after it would have crossed the ball park figure.

* It looks like the clause for redundant power was what tripped it up. Someone said we need X, and then somehow it became the TRUTH for all routers/switches.

So its entirely possible (if not likely) that Cisco said "based on your constraints, these are the only components which match your requirements", and the Government bought it.

Which is face-palm/head-desk territory.
Yeah so this is what I mean exactly: use the OS features instead of hacking the App up to do what, should be in my opinion, something just provided to the App by the OS..
Sync, apps (in particular background and offline ones) and the omnibox are excellent features that I use all the time. Nothing wrong with having them.
Wouldn't the central procurement already know the max capacity of the lines (DSL, fibre, whatever) that had been installed, already know what routers/switches were in use and already know the populations being served? That's pretty basic audit information that I'd expect could be pulled up from a central database lickity-split.

Eyeballing those figures should be all you'd need - but yes if there was no central record of past procurements an email survey (or better yet online using a survey system) would apparently be pretty quick.
Ankit Fadia Revealed
Well, just another me-too story. When I was somewhat younger I had to "deploy" one Cisco product which was definitely a result of an "incentivized" sale. That sweet sweet setup involved login-password authorization (assisted by a Cisco router) where the user had to type in "public" and "1" as a password because... the enterprise actually had no end-user accounts and absolutely no possibility to introduce them...

As far as I understand, such an incentivized sale was a common practice. Once the management somehow achieved consensus (i.e. the right balance of risks, benefits and favors), engineers were left with making things appear OK.

I am inclined to think that Cisco made a strong bet on this kind of a business model at some point.

There are many things I'd expect as such tools/customisations... A pair of simple examples:

* Specialised support: the croudfunding platform could offer legal and strategic support in the narrow field they are focusing. I think Kickstarter cannot embrace all industries even if they try.

* Specialised tools and rules: Each platform must have extremely distinct interactions with the backers and product outcomes. In an academic platform (as the one being discussed) I'd expect some tools for scientific divulgation (which must be a mandatory "return" from crowdsourced research projects) and collaboration (which must be extraordinarily stimulated). I think Kickstarter will never consider/establish these rules/tools.

despite being one of the first developers to push (what was at the time, onerous and nearly unprecedented) DRM on their current user-base

I used to pirate games left, right, and center. I would occasionally buy a new one if it had a good rep or I liked the series, but the default mode was 'pirate'. Since the A500 days (yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me!). It also helped that the Australian software market is rapaciously overpriced.

Steam changed that. Steam didn't get rid of the DRM, but it added convenience like never before seen. Almost all the problems with DRM affecting the legitimate user are gone - I've never encountered a 'licensing server offline' or an 'invalid code' and only one 'sorry, licensing too busy, try again later'. I've rarely had a 'failed to install', and when I have, a 'try again' pretty much worked. The same can't be said of my experience with boxed software or pirated software. Updates are relatively seamless - Steam is acting like a package manager here, avoiding the need for everything to run its own updater. It's also a lot easier to check on any sales steam might be running - not so easy with a brick-and-mortar store(s); rare is the store website that shows the right level of stock and is regularly updated with specials.

Now, to be fair, I didn't start with steam at the inception, I've only been on for four or five years (it did get installed when HL2 came out, but I never got the sequels so didn't bother with it for a while), and when I started pirating I was a student and when I started steam I was working full-time, but even so, the convenience of being able to buy software from a trusted source and install it without having to leave the room made all the difference.

Steam does have its problems - the client is clunky (and has no tabs, grr - it's built on IE) and sometimes games can surprise you if your internet is out and they are 'online required' (which is usually invisible otherwise).

One argument that I noticed changed over the many years is "But online DRM means I won't own the game if I want to play it in X years". I've played a lot of games over the years. I return to very few - once a game is played out, it's gotta be pretty extraordinary to make it to my replay list. I still think DRM sucks, but it's largely irrelevant once the game is done.

A large part of Chrome's memory usage is due to its process isolation. It's also what makes it more likely to be responsive, even with UI blocking bugs.
I am just wondering here: two blog post from a startup in "stealth" mode. One about CSS "advanced" tricks. The other one about criticizing Chrome browser. Are those guys about to release a competing Web-Browser? :P Too less cues to know, but still the question popped up in my mind.

It would explain the criticizing tone of the article. Don't make me tell what I didn't tell: they could be proven right or wrong, it is not my point. I don't want to follow the debate about Chrome performance here. But what I suggest is: unknowing the real goals of Aptiverse's business and their interests I would backup a little bit and try to look at the big picture. And avoid religious Emacs/VI war.

But well then, I am trying to make bold bet anyway. They could be about to release a new ground-breaking web-browser in the near future, make everyone switch and fix the issues they announced in their blog post. Don't know what future is made of! :-)

> one of the religions might actually be correct

How would you propose that we set about determining which religion or mythology is "correct"?

> until we have established that religions do not reflect reality, we should at least remain open to that possibility.

The burden of proof is on the religious. If they can offer testable, reproducible proof that a religion makes valid predictions in specific circumstances, and explains how the universe operates, then they should do so. Once they have, we can call it "science".

In the meantime, as Christopher Hitchens said, "that which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence."
Seeking A 'Field Of Dreams' For Rising Drone Industry
I have been involved with a similar project focused on making orthotics and ankle-foot orthosis (http://www.afootprint.eu/) and I think the idea is definitely feasible.

However, there are some problems that need to be solved for this to go mainstream:
- Either affordable 3D scanners with sufficient accuracy or better algorithms can make this happen with something like LeapMotion/Kinect in order to get the required 3D scan
- Open source modeling software, which I believe is already available. But you'd still need some finite element modeling to determine the shape of the brace.
- Affordable 3D printers with a sufficiently large work envelope to fit a brace that fits a human torso. A major downside is that the torso is so voluminous, which means it might not be able to fit multiple braces at the same time, which kills productivity. Making it modular would obviously help solve this problem, but then you require assembly afterwards and a new design that allows this.
- Affordable printing material, because you're not going to make this thing out of ABS. Some of the 3D printed material also has the property of being brittle, which you wouldn't want in a brace. But I'm by no means a material expert.
- Convincing orthopedic professionals to give up their old way of working and embracing your technique. This might be the hardest of all, if only because there are so many factors involved. Is your method affordable enough, is it fast enough, is it reliable, how much re-schooling is required to able to use this technique?

Regardless of all these points I still think it should be done, because prices will go down, we'll get cheaper and better materials and eventually it'll be nonsensical to do all this work by hand. So we better get started and be ready when all the pieces fall into place.

It's basically like comparing optical zoom to digital zoom.

Digital stabilization will inevitably lose resolution because it needs to crop some data to even out the shake, and also because there is varying motion blur in the images that needs to be cleaned up somehow.

Like with zoom, optical is always a better solution because it fixes the problem before light hits the sensor, but of course it comes with its own tradeoffs involving physical size and production cost.

The best direction for App.net would be to make developer accounts free.

You are building a platform, you want lots of apps. It doesn't make sense to charge developers $100/year. These are the people who are going to innovate on your platform. These are the people who will make your platform more visible by integrating it into various services.

The company I work for has Facebook / Twitter sign up. I use app.net and I would add a signup option to our website if I did not have to pay $100/yr to do it. Not when perhaps a handful of people will use it and I will see no return on this $64 additional investment.

You seem to be rather severely misunderstanding my post - please read it again.
They do use outside staff for development, at least in some cases, so perhaps talking about the 400 employees is a little misleading. For example, Hidden Path Entertainment did a lot of work on the new CS title, and Wikipedia tells me they also did some models work on Left 4 Dead 2. I've no idea about the other games, perhaps they are all done 100% in-house.
