Well, either way the "Better IDE Features" won't be making it into Vim 7.4 (as Bram hinted at), so you don't have to worry just yet. As for the specifics of the IDE features, they've been summarized here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5680216
Yes, I'm not arguing the foundations of the scientific method, just pointing out how it is in practice.

In every field you have the established base theory, the bleeding edge you work on, and a bunch of preliminary work in-between. Checking out references is important, but this is a recurrent process (as you need to check the references of those works too), and you only have so much time.

So what really seems to happen is only a few select works in any subfield achieve large citation index, and those stand a decent chance of being verified at some point, or at least they do have enough work trying to build up on their results that a systematic inconsistency would show up.
I need to go to more of your parties, then, where my skills can be appreciated :P
This could be useful as a starter theme for people who are still learning wordpress. Thanks!

EDIT: I often have to teach other developers the basics of Wordpress - just pointing someone to the Codex sometimes isn't good enough, especially on a tight deadline. This theme can really help out.

And seriously, enough with the negative comments about Wordpress. Love it or hate it, it's there to stay, and it's in our best interests to educate developers how to theme it correctly.

Syria was offline a few days ago, and when they came back, Network Solutions seized a bunch of domains from there. But I haven't heard of anything global.
Just because people who follow the vim google group want more ide features and python integration doesn't mean thats what most vim users want. Why don't they fix the obvious flaw, mouse integration? (I know, because it would be hard)

We've pretty much removed all incentive to work long hours, or even just 8 hours, because or "collective" starting time is around 10-ish, but all of management is usually gone before half past five, and I actively encourage people to go home. On rare occasions does someone who's really in the zone stay past six.

The problem I don't have any grip on is people working from home. Because we're pretty flexible and developers enjoy their work, I often see them working in the evenings or in the weekend, when there is really no need for it. Also, people who work from home all day invariable tend to make longer hours.

This worries me a bit, but I'm not sure how to address that.

Quantify Thyself - Apps and websites I’m using to track my behavior
"during a big project it’s important your employees don’t feel inclined to exit as soon as the clock strikes 5 p.m." That statement belies so many things about Mr. Pozin's outlook on employees.

1. The reason employees bolt for the door is because they have things to do. Believe it or not employees have lives outside of work. I can't think of any project that would be "big" enough to miss a daughter's soccer game or son's concert. And if that means I need to leave the office at a certain time to do so, then so be it.

2. By offering flexible hours, employers seem to be able to demand employees work long upon demand. No thank you.

3. Working long hours to crunch for a big project is shown time and time again to not be effective. Why not fight the cause instead of accommodating it with flex time?

All that said, I'm convinced the best, long-term answer is to not be an employee. Instead, freelancing will continue to become more and more common.
Decoding is easy with pen and paper, if not mentally. You must know your powers of two. In the order that concerns us:

128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1

----

Let's decompose 231.

----

231 >= 128; That's a 1 in first position. 1

231 - 128 = 103 >= 64; We have a one in the second position. 11.

103 - 64 = 39 >= 32; One in the third position. 111.

39 - 32 = 7 < 16; Zero in the fourth position. 1110.

7 < 8; Zero in the fifth place. 11100

7 >= 4; 111001

7 - 4 = 3 >= 2; 1110011

3 - 2 = 1 >= 1; Final result: 11100111. Enjoy your cats :)
ha ha, love it.
I was hoping the solution would include something other than WordPress.
You might be being a little harsh. There is a huge difference between "hey, I'm having a problem reproducing your results, want to help me either reproduce or disprove your results?", which legitimate scientists will and do participate in, and "I'm doing a study on unreproducible results and want to publish your paper and name in the list afterwards".

Notice they say they got help without the shaming part so the scientists were willing to participate, just not get listed.

I personally know scientists who have helped out with disproving their own findings, it's not uncommon.
A put is an option that gives you the right to sell a stock to someone by a specified date at a specified price. If you buy a put, you are betting the stock price will go down.

A straddle involves buying both a call and a put. If a stock is trading at 10, and you buy a PUT at 8 and a call at 12, you make money if the stock goes above 12 or below 8, between that, you eat the option price. Basically a straddle is betting on volatility.

You can also sell a straddle, sell a put and sell a call, and bet that stock will remain at the same price.

FRED WILSON: Here's Why I'm Investing In Bitcoin
Misconceptions abound. You cannot patent "operating system software" because it is an abstract concept with no embodiment, like "flying car" or "hyperdrive spaceship".

And people did patent "media player with music in the cloud", or more accurately, various aspects thereof. Spotify famously got sued over a patent on a specific way to do DRM for streaming music, for example, when they entered the US. They just licensed it and moved on. The streaming music industry is growing all the time, despite tons of patents in the field.

Conversely, if you think weak patent rights means unbounded innovation, I haven't seen any particularly impressive tech originating in China or India.

Things are patented left and right in the US, and always have been, and I don't see innovation here slowing down any. And it would not be surprising if people understood the realities of patents instead of believing what tech media tells them (insert reference to pg's "Submarine" essay here).

If I had to sum up science in one phrase, I wouldn't say anything about the "scientific process" or anything like that. I would say: "Look for reasons why you are wrong, not reasons why you are right." You can always find reasons why you're right. You can always do an astrology forecast and find someone for whom it was dead-on accurate. That's not the problem with astrology, the problem lies in how often it is wrong. It's wrong so often it's useless. But if you only examine the positive evidence in favor of it, you will never come to that conclusion.

The theories that are powerful and worthwhile are the ones that are rarely or never wrong. Can't always get "never". It's a complicated world and we aren't all physicists. But we at least ought to be able to get "rarely", and if you can't, well, I guess it's not science then. That's OK. Unfortunately, not everything is amenable to science, though you can still approach it in this spirit of trying to see how you might be wrong rather than proving yourself right.

Once you start looking around with that standard, it's not hard to see how little science is really being done. Why are we publishing these dubious studies? Because for all the scientific trappings we claim, with statistics and p-values and carefully-written recordings of their putative procedure written in precisely the right way to make it sound like everything was recorded (while still leaving out an arbitrary number of relevant details), we've created a system where we are telling people to look for reasons why they are right... or we won't publish their results. Guess what kind of results we get with that?

If you start from the idea that you need to look for why you are wrong, the scientific method will fall out of that, along with any local adjustments and elaborations you may need, and every discipline, sub-discipline, and indeed at times even individual experiments need adjustments. If you start with "The Scientific Method", but you don't understand where it came from, how to use it, or what it is really telling you, you'll never get true science, just... noise.

I came to the biological sciences trained as a chemist. As I began working on my Ph.D. and variously encountered papers on cell signaling research (the field that much "cancer research" would fall into) it was blindingly apparent to me, perhaps because of my chemistry background, what was going on...

Cell Signaling (and much of Biology) research is in its Alchemy phase. Now, alchemy often gets a bad rap as being completely worthless, snake-oil type stuff, but this was not the case at all. Rather, individuals were working on an area about which almost nothing was known, and (more importantly) for which the key central organizing laws were not yet revealed (for Alchemy: the atomic theory of matter and chemical bonding, for Cell Signaling: how individual proteins and small molecules interact). Furthermore, the goals were lofty and almost certainly unattainable (for Alchemy: turn base metals into gold, for Cell Signaling: cure cancer), driving people to do "rush" work. It's not that the results are completely invalid, or that the experiments are useless. It's just that everyone feels like they're so close to a solution (Alchemists were way off with Phlogiston, and I'll bet Cell Signaling researchers are similarly clueless as to what really matters) that no one takes the time to step back and synthesize the results in an attempt to understand the forest from the trees.

Cell Signaling will, eventually, have its Joseph Priestley, its Dmitri Mendeleev.

From experience, the fact that 89% of these "cancer research" papers are not reproducible almost definitely has less to do with fraudulent data and so much more to do with crazy complex experimental setups that end up probing a half-dozen experimental variables all at once (without the researchers even grasping that this is going on).

Yeah, publish or perish sucks, but what sucks more is the death of basic science research. The Alchemists eventually became Chemists because they refocused on core principles (atomic theory, bonding) and forgot about the lofty goals (turn lead into gold)...

...but try telling any politician that they should decrease cancer research funding and refocus on genetics, structural biology, and evolution research. I'd love to know how they respond.
NumberProxy and Burner both offer similar services. The main differences are
Burner is a native iOS/Android app so your disposable number is tied to your cellphone. NumberProxy is a web based application so you can use any phone, or no phone at all.
NumberProxy accepts Bitcoin.
*NumberProxy has SIP support.

We feel that response so far from our users is that the two applications are unique and have some very different feature sets.

English is a terribly inconsistent language, yes. I suppose having both Germanic and Latin heritage, plus some other random bits does that to a language.

French is quite consistent as well, pleasantly so in comparison to English.

Yeah, more of the same. I haven't explored every permutation. Once I decided the entire approach is fraught with data loss danger I moved on. There is no way to justify data loss, not for a company of the size and resources of Apple.

The mass deletion of user data should never be automatic or a single button function. This act should require the user to do something non-trivial and non-accidental. And, even if the data is deleted the system should save a copy and give you an option to restore it from the device with a few clicks.

Right now if you un-sync your contacts the only choice you seem to have is to delete them from the phone or keep using sync. Why not a "keep an independent copy on my phone" option. I would love to hear someone justify that concept. How are such decisions made?
Or it could actually have nothing to do with regulations. Something called imperfect competition: very few people want and sell the exact same thing. That makes it very difficult to sell superior products at lower cost.

Considering the $17.4Bn bailout of the conventional US car industry a few years ago it's small change.

Personally I'd be a little more concerned about the $20Bn per year paid in farm subsidies, to an industry with median household incomes 17% higher than the national average, if I were a US citizen. At least the money going into Tesla is buying the US a lead in the future of automotive technology, instead of going towards further impoverishing third world farmers.
Some variety in Bitcoin software could be a good thing. However, I'd just like to leave a reminder here that beta-level software is not something you should trust significant amounts of Bitcoins to, or build a business on, until it stops being beta-level.
Presumably they did that just to avoid external dependencies.

On the flipside: I'm a 43 year old coder, been at it since I was 8, professionally since my teens. I still get a kick every time something builds and runs the first time. When I want to learn some new techn[ique,ology], its usually a quick read, setup&build, edit/hack/code/run/&etc. Repeat until competent. I've earned enough respect by my younger peers in the heat of the battle to deliver to the user, enough times over now, to where I'm not really discriminated against at all, in any capacity, but for the odd tab/space quarrel. I love learning new stuff, and I love seeing old stuff being re-learned, over and over a'new. Todays newcomer super-coder is tomorrows straggler, albeit for their mere desire to know whats up and who is using what. You don't have to get aged to get entrenched and "left behind" you just have to ignore, or be otherwised hindered from observing, that there isn't actually a technological border beyond the "now" and the "then" .. it is the desire to bridge the distance between understanding and not understanding, humbly, and with little baggage, which wins and delivers. Even the kids have baggage.
It's not "ambiguity of English" -- all (usefulsoftware does have a technical effect. Or would you say software should be excluded from the "tech industry" and people should stop calling themselves "software engineers"? This is why it is mostly patentable in the EU.

About the only thing the "technical effect" limitation prevents is business method patents.
This feels too risky. If a contact's worth selling connection to, you don't want to lose them. That would be far too easy to do with a string of bad introductions.
> As we move from the "low" level to the "high", say from the domain of machine code all the way up to, for instance, a rich, expressive Ruby DSL, the question arises, as it does for all language: have we acquired a surplus of content that cannot be simply reduced to core rules?

No, not if it's still executing on a physical computer.
That's correct. That means the "app" runtime on Asha is J2ME plus some Nokia-specific classes. Only pre-installed software can access the S40 OS directly.

That's not competitive with Android, Sailfish, or Firefox OS, all of which are already or will soon be in comparably priced devices in the developing world markets.

Nokia should have kept Meego and/or Meltemi to remain competitive in this segment. They also could have sold Android alongside Windows Phone, as other OEMs do.
No, we don't recycle numbers. But just because we don't recycle our numbers doesn't guarantee that you will get a "clean" number from our service or any other carrier. Numbers, like IP addresses are a finite resource and they do get reissued eventually.
In any case, with NumberProxy, if you get a number that has some "history" you can just toss it and get a new one. They are designed to be ephemeral.

The most interesting thing about all this is the fact that the researchers were required by paper authors to sign non-disclosure agreements and agree not to identify papers with non-reproducible results. This says a lot about the confidence authors have in their papers, doesn't it?

I used to live in the UK, but now live in Canada. There are a few problems, but for the most part healthcare works very well in both countries and the vast majority of people are happy with it. You just get issues in fast-growing cities like Calgary, but those issues are being resolved. I agree that most of the objection to free healthcare in the US is wacky ideology. The ridiculous thing is that they have free education, but nobody is whining about having a commie education system :)
Jokes aside, I make my browser make a click when an external object is loaded and when a page starts and finishes loading.

This audible enforcement is very helpful during development and to "hear" which sites are sneaking in external calls without bringing up firebug, etc.
I wouldn't think the primary problem with a non-coder working with wordpress would be an inability to look up a function in the docs. Once you've gotten to that point, the actual looking up is trivial. There are a lot of other steps you need to follow first, and knowing how to do them or that they even need to be done would seem to me a greater impediment: setting up a local server, creating a database for the install, getting the wp-config.php file, configuring said file (knowing the database credentials), knowing what a theme is and why you need one, understanding the theme files and hierarchy, being able to read php well enough to understand a functions is even being called, etc.

None of these things are particularly difficult, and they all have good documentation and tutorials, but I would think someone who was resistant to looking up a function signature would probably get bogged down and give up somewhere higher up on the list.

Now, this could still be useful for learners, I just don't know that the target is designers who can't be bothered to learn.
Can you tell us in more detail about your application?

> It's not that the results are completely invalid

Especially if only 11% of them are reproducible, they're only 89% invalid.

I'd go so far to say: If the reproducibility rate is 11%, you're not doing science, you're just pursuing funding.
from my personal anecdote - i had appendectomy 2 years ago. total for all bills i received during couple month after discharging was about 28k. Out of these $700 for surgery itself and $900 for anesthesia. There were some other bills where my doctor was involved, like follow up visits, but these did not get over $500 aggregated.

So looks like doctor's cost is not that big of a part of the total bill anyway.

That's wild. Yeah, I read both of the Syrian Electronic Army articles, but it never occurred to me they had actually been targeted. That makes a "SEA has some fun before their inevitable deaths" a bit cruel perhaps. Since that could very well happen.
There's 20,000 broad classes of variables (genes), and on average 12 variations of each of those variable (alternative splicing, post-translational modification, cellular localization, other variables we haven't yet discovered ). This series of two experiments and likely 2 years found associations between three proteins, which is a hook into system of great complexity, a way to start looking for more.

It is not "reproducible" yet it is incredibly valuable.
> I bet they won't be to happy when that happens.

I suspect they don't give too much of a toss.

Firstly, the people who run/own those markets make money on every trade (i.e. ever buy/sell) so they'll make money if the market is going up or down.

Secondly those manipulating the market will be in the know so they'll be in a position to take money away from those people/organisations that are on the outside.
