I'm a particle physics theorist. In our field there are a lot of open-source (see http://www.hepforge.org/projects), as well as some private projects. I believe that source code should be published/shared in tandem with results it produces. Otherwise, those results have no scientific value and I personaly tend not to trust them, even though they are in agreement with well-known predictions. What matters is an algorithm results are obtained with, not results themselves. In other words, scientists should form a hacker-like community and don't get into the trap of a developer-user relationships where some develop while others use software.

I actually wanted to know your opinion concerning the migration of open-source to private software. The most common open-source and free software licenses, like MIT or GNU, allow this kind of migration. That is Bob could modify Alice's public project, produce results, and publish them without sharing sources with anybody. That looks unfair, since Alice did a great job and most likely would like to see the changes. How to protect Alice from such situations? Are there any kind of license which forces to share modified software when some results it produces are published or available to the general public?
I am having a similar problem with heroku at this current point in time as I have been made aware that they do not provide access to web sockets which is definitely the direction I am wanting to go with my startup. Do any of these solutions cater for web sockets?

It's...not though. You can do whatever you want. No one else forces your actions, and your dichotomy is a false one.

That said, if someone says that a joke about github (or anything else) is making them uncomfortable, it's probably worth at least listening to them. Especially if they have lived a life sufficiently different from yours that their subjective experiences are likely to be somewhat distant from yours, and especially especially if they are of a demographic people judge harshly (as determined by IATs: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/selectatest.html
I assume that you're using C# given that the physics engine is BulletXNA. What process do you use to translate games to run in JavaScript?

"javascript is competitive with python or perl"

Well they are all three terribly designed languages, but JS is way faster and probably more secure: It's battle tested in environments where the assumption is that the attacker controls the code being executed, which is normally not the case on the server side. On the other hand, JS does not have anything like perl's tainted strings, which are a great security feature IMO.
I love this Éduouard recording of 'Gamme de la Voix'. You can really hear the singer go out of key on the 'mi' and 'sol', it's that precise. Seeing music visualized for the first time must have been as wondrous as seeing a Michelin map.
Nice! Glad more of us got tickets than we thought. It seemed like almost no one did originally.

Still a broken system, methinks.
Thanks. Both sets of slides were very interesting. While upon seeing presentation slides I inevitably wish I could be privy to the talk, both were informative enough to convey substance via slides alone.

The OP had a slide dedicated to platform-dependent components of building a 3D game engine (memory management, threading, game loop, audio, etc.). While much of the action happened "off camera", is the conclusion essentially that [emscripten -> [ asm.js + webGL] etc.] makes this process simpler (if still tricky to debug)?
Reddit, for sure. If you haven't tried it for a while, give it another go. There are some excellent sub-Reddits and just turning off some of the worst default ones can make a big difference to the quality.

Like the other commenter, I think the opportunity is more for tablets, too.

There are just so damn many things that need to be logged and tracked on paper and that don't have anything to do with [reactor operations, SUBSAFE, emergency/DC procedures]. If you can reduce the stacks of binders and/or manuals, and also improve process compliance, it would be well worth the effort.
Late last year, I've tried to integrate Facebook into two tiny iOS apps. It sucked, and I'm not going to touch Parse in the future.

One of the few things I needed was an app request dialog. It didn't seem possible from the SDK docs (at least not clearly so), the only way was to use the deprecated global Facebook object:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13351584/how-to-send-user...

There was no definitive list of possible values for the dialog name or parameters either. Apparently "message" was being ignored, but only for "feed" dialogs...? Apparently there is a replacement now, but it's still in beta. How am I supposed to tell my clients what is possible (and sustainable) and what isn't?

The U.S has an enormous amount of rare earth metals. [1] But the processes of extracting the ore have such a horrendous effect on the environment that the only country willing to mine the metals in significant quantities is China, and the villages in China near the mining sites have suffered as a result [2]. The U.S is rife with abuses of the environment — mountaintop removal mining, anyone? — but so far no one has been willing to match the rare earth metal production levels of China.

Your feedback is really valuable. That was an agile video and I tried to not lost too much time working on something which might have little to no value. Learning the basis of all the required applications took a lot of time and it seems I took the last step too lightly.

Our idea not been really straightforward, it would have taken 4 to 5 fime more work to get a 2-3 minutes video. I wanted to check the format was not a barrier first.
You do realise that mastication is REQUIRED for healthy teeth and gums right?

You may not become malnutritioned, but you will suffer from various oral problems due to lack of mastication. This may take a year or even a few years to present itself - by then it will be too late to react.
"If you are publishing articles with no source code, how is that even science?" - We have a methods section in the paper, just like in the science fair.

"After all, if you publish details of how you worked stuff out, even without source code someone else might reproduce your work." - hopefully they do! and hopefully they do it in a different way, doing the same thing twice is pointless. This is why the Hubble Constant started off being 150, then was 50, and now hovers around 69. Because everyone did the problem in their own unique way and didn't borrow each other's code and procedures.

"there would still be the same number of jobs in astronomy" - yes, that's the problem, there aren't enough. So the job goes to the guy with the most citations and publications-- I want that guy to be me.

"And don't you think if you are using the software from another group you would cite the authors?" - that's not the whole point. Writing a simulation may take 3 years, then analysis can take another 3 years. If I wrote it, I want first dibs on analysing it, I don't want someone else taking the results I created and publishing them before me.

The system is cutthroat, sure, but it does have benefits if you know how to play the game. Politics is surprisingly omnipresent here.
Software who can entertain human queries - List of successful queries
I upgraded from 12.04 LTS and I had a few niggles - the configs for Compiz were messed up and the AMD proprietary driver wasn't working, oh and grub got nuked.

Ultimately, blowing away the compiz configs (rm .compiz*), a dpkg --configure -a fixed the AMD driver and boot-repair from a Ubuntu LiveCD was a wonderfully simple way to redo grub.

Not painless but not particularly difficult to fix.
Big data video – Hadoop Tutorial: Intro to HDFS
In my company we are developing http://backbeam.io/

It is still in beta but just for a couple of weeks. In general it is similar to parse.com but it has also heavy support for developing web applications hosted on backbeam (optinally with custom domain). It also has a more powerful query language, a real-time API and great support to manipulate files (you can escale images in different ways just by changing parameters in a URL).

Each project has two environments and you can browse the databases visually taking special care of relationships between entities.

The website is being redesigned and the documentation is work in progress.

This is an example of a complex query to the database:

select('news').query('join author join last 5 comments having score > ? fetch author', min_score)

We are open to comments and suggestions :)

I read Slashdot for many years however Hacker News has replaced it for me now. The quality of discussion has become very poor over there plus the stories are often a few days old before they hit the frontpage.
This is definitely the farthest thing from "rather ingenious".

There are countless bots out there already abusing this idea with followers, and pushing it into favourites isn't making it any better. All it does is add pointless noise to the twitter network and unethically take advantage of the fact that they can't catch all of the spammers at once.

Of course you can make money when you violate the rules, but that doesn't mean doing things like that are an ingenious or stable business model.
What's sad to me is I have a HUGELY high view of "you" (i.e. Parse) - your documentation & examples are the best I have seen for any developer services, bar none. I'm just afraid what will happen as you get assimilated into the giant blue monster.

But still - genuine congratulations! You guys have definitely earned it, I'm sure this was the right step financially.
..how are you cooking eggs that they're done in under a minute? The only way I can think of that stands any chance is by frying, which is hardly the healthiest option. Soft-boiling an egg takes me six minutes, plus the time to heat the water. About quarter of an hour all in, at a guess.

As for a burger, when I cook one of those it's an absolute minimum of half an hour start to finish - peeling & chopping the onions & garlic, dicing the bacon, mixing it all together with the beef, cooking it properly.. I can easily take up an hour.

You seem to be confusing "Microwave crap from a packet" with preparation of decent food.
I joined reddit about 4-5 years ago and soon got sick of the same old posts, memes, jokes and comments over and over. Switching off the default subreddits and joining some smaller ones relevant to my interest turned it into an entirely different experience. It's only a shame that in light of recent events (r/findthebostonbombers, r/creepshots, etc) people see the site as a single-minded community rather than a diverse collection of very different ones.

CISPA's true motivation is becoming very clear. It's needed to expand a pilot program for dragnet surveillance by the NSA and defense contractors. You know, the same thing they've been doing for ages and getting sued over by the EFF. If you read the letters in support of CISPA by the defense contractors who are lobbying for it and funding Mike Rogers who authored it, they even acknowledge this program by name (it's called the DIB cyber pilot).

That's why the bill is so vague, and why they refuse amendments to narrow the scope. It's a get out of jail free card for complicit companies and they can claim virtually anything is related to "security". They can also be wrong, as long as they claim it was "in good faith". It's more or less the "state secrets privilege" equivalent, but for companies cooperating with the "data sharing".

It solves nothing, because it's already legal to share threat data. You just have to scrub it of private or protected information. If its protected, it's because we passed a law for something we felt was worth protecting. For CISPA to just undo all of those laws wholesale is outrageous.

I was interested to see some people say they've commonly heard it pronounced as a single syllable. I've heard that, but I didn't know it was common.

Here's a website with an audio clip of that pronunciation (http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/Graham)

Here's a website that has many pronunciations. (http://www.forvo.com/search/graham)

The Forvo website is interesting because it has some American (?) accents using the 2 syllable form, and some (Lindsey Graham) using the single syllable form.

(DuckDuckGo's search results were particularly useful for me here.)
This is disappointing. I'll say that I wish the situation would change so that you would be able to get funding without the dog eat dog, allowing you to share source code and ideas. Think how much would the next version of you be able to do if he had access to the ideas you invented! Not to admonish you; obviously it's the situation that's causing this.

It's utterly bizarre that there would be any field of science that actively deterred collaboration because without collaboration it seems incredibly difficult to achieve great things.
There's something accidentally poignant about "the fund that raised $127,001 for Sean's family". It's as if they were trying to send the money to 127.0.0.1, looping him back in the game.
Correct, those are not problems. You can do both of those things already, and they're done every day.

I don't think they necessarily "corrected a few mistakes without giving them back to the mob". There is also a chance that they indeed proposed their answers to the mob, but they didn't like them and rejected them.

It wouldn't be the first time that a great idea is shot down because it's too far from everyone's comfort zone. But I'm just guessing.

I absolutely think you can learn something from everybody. In this situation, I feel that should be in the context of learning from a peer, rather than a mentor

> Why not do a session/presentation/lunch&learn on how to build web apps without a library.

Don't get me wrong. It's not that I think libraries are bad - on the contrary. It's just that I'm really puzzled by people who are willing to blindly use some piece of code, and build their codebase around that code, without even understanding what that library actually does. This mostly happens with CSS/HTML libraries which unfortunately are considered to be second-class citizens nowadays as opposed to javascript frameworks. No, your HTML/CSS is equally or more important than, dare I say, the javascript framework of the day.

> The biggest challenge to being a mentor isn't wisdom, it is respect. The person you are trying to teach needs to respect you before they will be willing to learn from you.

As a self-taught professional, I really don't understand this. I can see why that would be the case, but I still can't really "get it".

Respect is important, and it goes both ways, but I'm not sure if it's (or should be) something that happens before even having some interaction with the other person.

I may respect the work someone has done but it doesn't necessarily mean that I respect them as a teacher (although learning from someone's work is still on the table) because I don't know beforehand how good of a teacher they are. At the same time, I may not respect the work someone has done but it doesn't mean I have nothing to learn from them.

Funny how StackMob quickly put together a migration page: https://developer.stackmob.com/parse/migration
Sorry - not trying to question your business sense but powtoon.com just doesn't seem like a fit for what you have IMO. Just download Camtasia, get a decent headset mic, and do some screenshot videos that show people how quick/easy/etc. If nothing else, it will be a good exercise for you. "I have four minutes. How can I create interest during that four minutes?" Notice that I sad "create interest", not "cram every feature possible into four minutes" (which is what a lot of first timers try to do).

Once you create interest, then what? During the video creation/planning stages, write down any questions you think people will have and write (and edit/rewrite/check for typos) succinct answers. Make an FAQ and put it up there. Don't subdomain that - put that on your domain.

Next, take your best and most logical questions people will have and craft a landing page around that + your selling text. This is what landing page design and conversions are all about. You start out with an idea ("I need a video"), and one month of hard work later, you have an amazing site that starts really bringing in the traffic (and the traffic turns into money). Once you do that, start running some Google AdWords with targeting the SSRS keywords.

It's your product - no one knows it better - and you should be able to do a good video on it. Upload the vid to YouTube and embed it on your site. If you don't like YouTube, buy a sub to Vimeo for $60 and embed it using Vimeo (no ads). You can do a lot on Vimeo that isn't available on Youtube (search the web for that).

I like it - looks cool. I'd love to see it succeed. If you do ultimately decide to open source it, I'm sure the CodePlex community would dig it. Maybe you could put a trial/limited version up there that includes a nag/ad/etc for the full version. I don't know their TOS though so maybe that's not a good suggestion.
The thing which irritates me most about this pagination model where you swipe, is that if there is a code reference or something off page, it means u wrestle with this page flipping on/off until you finally are able to drag the page so u can see remainder of code listing.
