What language are you referring to? I'm not quite sure I understand your examples.

In Haskell, any 2-argument function can be used (or defined) infix by surrounding it with backticks, eg:

add 2 3

is equivalent to:

2 `add` 3

----

And you can use this to cleanly write curried functions (often predicates) with their arguments flipped, eg:

vowelCount = length . filter (`elem` "aeiou")

----

Note that functions named with punctuation characters are infix by default, and one can be used/defined prefix by surrounding it with brackets, eg:

(<$>) = fmap
toUpper <$> "aeiou" # => "AEIOU"

----

It's also convenient for resolving a subset of one of the harder problems in computer science: naming things. For a 2-argument function, use it infix and read it as a phrase in english. Which is clearer:

".jpg" `isSuffix` url

or:

".jpg" `isSuffixOf` url

You can also define functions' precedence and associativity (left/right) when used as an infix operator.

I had two problems with Redline: if I remember correctly it's supposed to be file- instead of image-based. I'm not very optimistic about that, but maybe it will be alright - I sure hope so. The second thing is that JVM is not exactly my favorite environment.

However, every effort for bringing Smalltalk back to life - or rather back to mainstream - is praiseworthy and I'm very glad such effort are undertaken.
they are? i thought when they were configured correctly they were considered similar in quality, but different in approach to osx (there is a long article somewhere discussing this, but i cannot find it now i need to reference it, sorry).

[edit http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/06/font-rendering-resp... isn't what i remember, but since opensuse uses MS fonts (see below) covers the basic issue]

in opensuse you typically have to install the fetchmsttfonts package.

Some of these just come across as though someone said, "We have to come up with ten search terms for each state and country - do something so that every location gets ten results!":

1) Kentucky's #1 search term is "free gay porn" - pretty specific relative to all the other terms elsewhere

2) Iowa's #6 is "backroom casting couch" but Wyoming's #3 is "brcc". That's either poor data warehousing practices, or an intentional choice to say "People who type the term in are differentiated from people who use the acronym." I'm assuming that it's poor data warehousing or small sample size given how "milf" is in almost every state but not one state has the fully-spelled out version.

3) Mississippi's results are skewed relative to what most people think about Mississippi. For a state that is supposed to be 60% Caucasian[1], their top search terms are not very Caucasian-like. I'm thinking small sample size here.

4) Connecticut's #10 result is "lisa ann"

5) Maine has both "ebony" and "black" as top search terms

6) Most of the South American listings have some variation of the country name.

7) Every result in Peru is gay. Clearly this is either small sample size, marketing, or "other".

I'm surprised more people aren't focusing on the "dirty data" (pun intended). Clearly something is weird with the data - it's either working on small sample sizes, or there's been some poor work done to get it to this point (not enough work done, for example).

The brevity starts to come in once you begin to use multiple rules inside each nested context, and get into multiple levels of nesting. The point of the @includes (called "mixins") are that they might expand into something much more complicated. Imagine a gradient mixin that expands into all the vendor-specific gradients with the correct syntax.
Yes, food is complex and we can't pretend to understand how it it used by our bodies. A whole food diet is still surely healther in ways we can't quantify. And if it was it would be very hard to prove affirmatively.

That said, almost no one eats a whole food diet these days. I imagine this would be a step up over 70% of the diets in modern America.

ClevelandOnRails: Learn programming in-person. Signups for April 2013 Are live
Definitely not, I believe the plans are to significantly refactor the apps (carefully) because there's a bunch of good practices that they don't follow. It's true that they probably won't run in other browsers for a while though.
Its so true... Recreating apps you've already created in different languages is the best way I have found to learn a new language; its exactly like translating from English to Spanish to learn Spanish.

But, how about the people that don't know any programming language? If they had never engineered anything from the start through planning and designing and implementing, how can they begin to use a programming language they are beginning to learn? None of the tools that languages provide have a context for a new programmer, much in the same way that high school kids don't understand why math is so important.

I agree with your first statement in that "things" should mean something other than software. Maybe they should build a treehouse or a toothpick bridge or anything to get the process of creation and engineering into the mix of thinking about writing code.

I have Crohn's and as a result had periods in my life where I was on a liquid diet of something called Modulen for weeks and months at a time.

http://www.nestlehealthscience.com/products/modulen_ibd
A similar, more familiar product: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensure

Pretty terrible experience. I had to drink close to a dozen cups of the stuff a day and it didn't go down easy. The stuff worked however and I went back into remission.

Defecating while on this became a very rare occurrence but otherwise almost normal if I recall correctly.
And another interesting twist: while I was very weak, I gained some noticeable muscle mass - I imagine because this is essentially taking protein powder consumption to an extreme.

It seems like this perhaps guy created a better version than Nestle on account of it actually tasting good and not needing a dozen cups a day - it is not a good lifestyle for healthy people but is very interesting as a supplement.

Drinking one can of something a day to insure you get all the nutrients necessary, including the rare ones, is a lot easier than adhering religiously to a very balanced diet. Sort of like a multivitamin that actually works.

As a fellow concert goer, I generally hate that people do this. I think it's distracting to everyone. However, I'll admit I think someone should record the best moments. I think it's better to enjoy the music and show rather that spend the effort to try and properly catch it. Not only that, but even at events which have been professionally or at least well recorded, I rarely go back to watch the video later. How much video you shoot do you actually go back and watch?
Social links are anti-social. If you really think about it, these are about taking away the interraction between people as people and instead, they funnel the content toward aggregation and mere consumption. That critical link between content creator and visitor is buffered with other rubbish so meaningful feedback is watered down.

I think a lot of this unfortunately comes from Rails. Rails hides a lot of complexity which creates "magic". And since most Rubyists come to Ruby from Rails, a lot of Rubyists have the bad habit of hiding complexity wherever possible. I was guilty of that myself. But I've noticed it slowly starting to change.
Except these are self-installs. If it was something their ISP took care of, it would more than likely have a password. So yeah, if I did my own plumbing in a half-assed fashion, I should pay the consequences.

If these politicians and prosecutors cared one bit about helping people, they'd regulate the aftermarket wireless router industry to have passwords by default. Or have the FCC change the rules on usage of the ISM band. Instead, they're just posturing for career advancement and media attention.
My thoughts exactly.

I'm hoping for it to spread to impoverished countries or slums. If the price of production is indeed low, this could be a great chance for them.

Then let's hope it doesn't get associated too much with homeless people's food, and the rest of the world might adopt it as well. Once a large-scale production industry exists, there might not be such a high threshold for adoption. People are in a hurry to eat so often, if they could just pass by a place to grab some Soylent, they'd certainly take the opportunity.
You heard right. Nudity is also more prevalent than in the western cultures, it's completely normal for a child to see their parents naked, even in their teens and beyond.
It corrupts Unicode data because it splits on code points instead of grapheme clusters. When performed on 'Spin̈al Tap', it splits the base character U+006E (LATIN SMALL LETTER N) from the combining character U+0308 (COMBINING DIAERESIS) and results in the string 'Spin<span class="s_char">̈</span>al Tap', which contains the valid Unicode grapheme cluster '>̈'! If you were to split on grapheme clusters instead, the result would be 'Spi<span class="s_char">n̈</span>al Tap'. However, I still wouldn't support that solution because it could negatively affect text segmentation used by search engine indexing and natural language processing tools.

If he's a true programmer, he'd code up an iphone app that controls an arduino that mixes up the precise amounts of amino acids, boron, saccharides, glucose and polyphenols for the perfect Soylent to start his day. Maybe even post his objective C on github so I can issue a pull request with 200% more boron. You know, here in the bay area, we have plants that tweet when they run out of water. I can rig up a tweetbot so his body tweets whenever he is dehydrated, and Amazon can intercept that tweet to dropship amino acids to his kitchen where the arduino mixes up the next batch of Soylent.

I should stop watching scifi.

There's precedents for file-based Smalltalks. Basically, don't ##ck with your source files manually, and use VCS. Problem (pretty much) solved.
I dont have a tutorial to offer you, but here's what made semi-comfortable with emacs:

- install the emacs starter kit [0] as it's much user friendly than the raw emacs

- learn the most used shortcuts (C-w to cut, M-w to copy, C-Y to yank (paste), C-x C-s to save, C-x C-f to open a file, C-k to kill a text, C-a to go at the start of a line and C-e to go at the end, etc.)

- try to use emacs for everything and slowly get more and more comfortable at it.

That's hardly an argument -- it's barely rising above just calling the state names.

The exact role of the state in protecting it's citizens requires nuanced debate. Saying "it's not the state's job" doesn't cut it.
I understand the point you're making, but two things are still just horribly broken:

1) Pathing. Once you reach a certain city size, there's not much you can do that helps resolve this issue.

2) Numbers don't add up. Again, once you reach a certain city size, you can't keep services in line with your population.

No matter how much else I may love about the game, these make it a broken experience for me.
Why are "things" and "build" mutually exclusive from software (addressing other comments here, not the article)? I think physical vs information is a bit arbirary (and often overlapping in true contexts of projects).

I think that the article's main point is learning by doing vs learning by instruction - and it applies to software as well as physical things. I tend to agree pretty strongly that this is a better - and more fun - way to learn.

I was on the solar car team in college. Most of the people on the team were engineering students, but without a doubt the most valuable guy was doing a graduate program in ligustics. He had no formal engineering or design training, but was very hands-on and could design and build pretty much anything. He still stands as the best "hacker" of mechanical arts I know. In contrast, most of the engineering students (myself included) were pretty useless at design until we took a more hands-on approach to it.

On a flip to this, I'm doing a PhD now in biomaterials engineering. Even the "exparimentalists" (myself included) in the group usually spend more time using and writing software than in the lab.

I took Geoff Hinton's Intro to Neural Networks course a few years back. After class he would have optional Q&A sessions where he would answer anything about anything. They were amazing. I think we even asked him once about his views on Margaret Thatcher.

After we covered deep belief nets, RBMs, and autoencoders, I asked him if anyone was using deep belief nets in the real world. He said "no, but these results are too impressive to deny. Within a few years, they will be."

Looks like he was right. Congrats, Geoff.

>Soylent contains all of the nutritive components of a balanced diet, but with just a third of the calories...

This worries me. It's not a misquote, either. From his blog^0 :

>...I get all the nutrition and energy I need with about 1/3 the calories the average American consumes...

The average American consumes 2,757 calories^2 . There's a term called the Basal Metabolic Rate. It is the amount of calories your body needs just to keep living, without thinking about movement^2 . A sample man's basal metabolic rate is over 1800 calories^3 . So thinking you can drop that down to 900 is suspect, especially in the long term.

If EA thinks that the vocal minority is worth saving, they need a hero. They need to hire somebody popular and smart that can say "hey everybody, EA asked for my help, I'm helping them figure out how to solve this. The server issues are mostly resolved now and we thank you for your patience. Over the next few weeks I'll blog about Sims behavior and modeling, and what changes you can expect to see. SimCity is already simulating an incredible amount of detail but many of you noticed situations where we didn't do so well. Expect to see improvements over the next few months that will address these problems."

We've already heard EA's leadership say there's nothing wrong with the game. Even if they admit to any problems, they have little trust with the community.

I have to admit to some schadenfreude about this whole fiasco. On the surface it is a very pretty game, it'll be interesting to see how EA addresses the community discontent.

Call me superstitious, but I believe there are unknown unknowns in our understanding of nutrition. The human body evolved eating various fibrous things. I'm not going to run that kind of experiment on myself.
> because "soylent" is the name of a wafer made out of human flesh and fed

Bit of nerd pedantry: this is incorrect. "Soylent" is the name of a type of processed food. There are different kinds made from various things. "soylent green" is a new variety introduced in this category that is supposedly made from kelp (or something like that) but is famously made from something else entirely.

It's actually a pretty apt name.
Introduction to Machine Learning, Part 1: Parameter Estimation
It seems your experience in the business/corporate engineering world is vastly different than mine.

The problem with your path to management is that many engineers have no desire to manage, and anecdotally, those who do, end up being ill-suited for management.

The best managers I've had are not top engineers, rather they're managers that are willing to understand and listen to their top performing engineers.

Google/Microsoft/etc. offer PM positions to students directly out of undergrad. From my experience, the skillset between a top-performing engineer is vastly different from that of a top-performing and well liked PM.

Idiomatic Python [video]
Please don't have the impression that I am being condescending toward universities, I respect and admire a lot of work that is being done there, I just think that not all of innovation can happen there. Google uses a lot of theory, but they also act in the real world and face real-world problems that can inspire new research and new theories, whereas at an university you are to a large extent cut off from such stimulus.
Remaining tech illiterate is a choice people make.

While I think it's sleazy to spy on people's open WiFi, I don't think it should be illegal.

Making it illegal is a complete waste of resources because it doesn't solve the problem. Google is a giant company and they only got found out more or less by accident. In every other case it's almost trivial to spy on unencrypted WiFi without anybody knowing, which means it would be nearly impossible to enforce a law against it.
Depletion of Earth's Magnetic Field and Why It Could Mean The End Of Humanity
> You obviously don't get my point.

No, I get that point. The "who could imagine" part about Instagram/digital snapshots is what I objected to. All it takes is to step outside of ourselves and look at larger trends. Easier said than done, I know, but the signs were all there for photos from the time of feature-phone cameras.

I'm not so sure the signs are there for video. Calls can be spur of the moment casual. So can sending a photo. Video calls are a little too much like a get together or a date.

When video calls get to the point of casualness where lots of people are drunk dialing so they can show an out of town buddy something stupid at a bar, then there will be something there.
Exactly. I was thinking the same.
"This force field deflects solar winds and all kinds of other space radiation away from the Earth. Without it, our atmosphere would slowly be blown away, turning our environment cold and dead, like Mars."
This was exactly my thought, and I don't know how you mitigate the risk effectively. The problem with missing nutrients is the effects are often subtle, may not show up for a long time, and may be catastrophic.

Of course, the rebuttal is "eat food occasionally", but that may just postpone the outcome, making it even harder to know if it is safe.
