Here's my Pixel running Sublime on Openbox:

It's almost perfect. There's some descender clipping on the tab label and the subheadings in the Command Palette are tiny.

Most apps I've tried work well using the DPI flag in xserverrc. Ones that use custom ui, like HipChat, are unusable though. Linux really needs a better UI toolkit story.
That's a later model. The original IBM T220 cost $17,999 (In 2000 dollars, $24,300 in 2013 dollars). It wasn't until 2 years later that the price dropped below $10k.
This is essentially what I was attempting with http://beginner.org, and we were using Screenhero. The biggest issue I encountered was on the scheduling side; it's difficult to coordinate dates/times and availability between two people with potentially different levels of commitment. If you can figure out a way to reach a critical mass of available mentors across each of these languages and frameworks so that you can truly offer "instant" mentoring on demand, this will be sweet. Incidentally, we're shifting to a self-teaching model because we couldn't overcome the scheduling challenges.

Here are a barrage of further questions that I hope you don't find too annoying:

Do you assign specific teams to each project? I assume project leader to project is one-to-many (since you said senior member); is project manager to project one-to-one? How many consultants are typically assigned to a project? Are developers assigned to specific projects from the start or do project managers send requests to developers on an as-needed basis? If it's the latter, do requests get sent to some sort of development leader/manager type or do project managers ask around to see which developers have the bandwidth for their project?

Also, and this isn't particularly related to structure, but how do sales work in your organization? Do the partners handle it for the most part?

I'm not asking these questions merely to annoy you; they apply to the business I am in the process of building. (So far, we've got a flat partner team of three and a single part-time employee. We're experimenting with a contracted salesperson, which has been working surprisingly well until now.)
I think you can see some slight 3D effects in the picture: http://cdn.physorg.com/newman/gfx/news/hires/2013/2-firsteve...

In the two variants on the right, their edges seem to be curling upward making a bowl shape. Their edges are also brighter, which perhaps means they are closer to the probe than parts that are farther away. Additionally, the hexagons are also not all the same shape. I assume that's due to the curling.

I would be interested to know if my interpretation of the image is correct, or if the molecule is really flat and what I'm seeing is an artifact.
Allegation Ends Coach's Career
Ok, I get what you're saying. You're right that the VC4 is the main selling point of the chip. Regarding image and video decoding...well, we do have OpenMAX which is a Khronos standard. It's just pretty horrific for normal people to use. GStreamer 1.0 supports the Raspberry Pi, and v4l support is in development for the camera.

NaCL was already part of Chromium prior to Blink, I hardly see the huge difference between NaCL and PNaCl in this regard.

Besides that, Blink is the rendering engine, Blink != Chrome. To get Chrome, you have to add in V8, NaCL, codecs, and a bunch of other stuff.

I see the promises to which Blink commits itself as being disjoint from Chrome. After all, there are lots of Chrome-only APIs, like Chrome extensions, Chrome sync, Chrome packaged apps, etc.

So what the hell is Obama doing anyway? He's done nothing but wring his hands and give lip service to human liberties.

You have to give Obama credit though, he is supernaturally charismatic and completely amoral, not to mention the best centrist in US political history.

I think that when he is gone and his powers of charisma and diversion have long dissipated, history will not be kind to him. He never had the courage and compassion to do the right thing.

This isn't directly related to the article's point, but I really don't understand this trend of describing companies using analogies like "Uber for X". I imagine people do this because they think it's a simple way to communicate the purpose of their company, but it usually just confuses me. The "Uber for tennis" company referenced in the article is the perfect example. Here's what goes through my head when I read that - "Well I use Uber to book I car so I guess this company books cars for tennis? Hmm, that doesn't make sense......Oh, I guess they help you book a tennis match? Maybe they help you find a nearby tennis partner?". I honestly still have no idea what Uber for tennis is supposed to be. Seems like they would be better served by just saying "We do X"
> KickStarter is not for buying products.

I don't really agree with this. They promise to give me a thing (or multiple things) in exchange for my money. Yeah, there are tchotchkes for most projects and there are 'interesting' updates, but the reason you (the generic you) put down your $20 is to get the thing at the end of the day.

I get that they say that you're not buying a product, but one can call a tail a leg and it doesn't necessarily fit, yeah? If it was really about just backing-a-product, I'd think everyone involved, including project creators, would be a lot more careful than they are with their wording.

> People that are upset at the project "being late" completely are people that are treating KickStarter merely as a pre-ordering system.

I don't agree here, either. They're people who expected the project pitches to be realistic measures of time-to-completion. My clients aren't happy when I blow estimates, either. They may still be happy with the final project, but that doesn't mean it's okay for me to hork an estimate.
The mechanism for "watching the watchers" are the other two branches of government. One of the most worrying things I've seen is that the judicial branch seems unwilling to really oversee the executive branch. It's like judges want to abrogate their responsibility to check executive power. Are warrants really that much of a headache? Are they really that slow? Do the judges think that it matters that little to the public and the risk of harm that low?

I can tell you this much ... I didn't sign up for cable TV or any "scheduled" programming because the value to me of wasting a lot of my time watching "entertaining" content is very small, and probably negative. On the contrary, the value of a latte in the morning -- if I drank coffee regularly -- would be much greater.

Since we're on the topic, I would like to point out that drinking coffee in the morning -- while by itself not harmful -- may be a symptom of a harmful roller-coaster schedule where you have to rely on substances to wake yourself up throughout the day. With a healthy schedule, you may as well try apples and an extra 10 minutes of morning exercise.

You know what would really be of a lot of value to me? Agreements between distribution networks to get each other's content when one doesn't have it, kind of like "roaming" for cellphones. If they had such a service, I'd pay the premium every time I want to watch a movie one of them doesn't have the rights for.

If I'm not mistaken, the MIT, ISC, zlib, AND GPL licenses all have the same clause which caused you to reject the BSD license. Has the OEM in question accepted the new license?

EDIT: Sorry, it appears the zlib license differs in that the clause only applies to source distributions and not binary distributions.

EDIT2: I can't find a legally rigorous citation, but here's a Quora discussion which seems to agree with me: http://www.quora.com/Does-the-MIT-license-require-attributio...
Going to add to what others are saying, this has not been a problem for me with my chromebook pixel. I set my default scaling in chromium to 125%, and have urxvt rendering a nice freetype font that I adjust the size to on the fly depending on the task (I have opted to let Xft believe that the display is 96ppi. I tried both ways and prefer it that way.)
Oddly enough, I signed up to mentor but don't have enough experience with any of the listed languages to do so.

I decided this spring to come back to Clojure (which I used in 2008-11) because, while I prefer static typing (slightly, although it's 51/49 for most projects) the community is one of the best out there.

I think the O'Reilly reference is a great starting point, and after that there's the Joy of Clojure, which is covers some solid territory.

The community is very helpful, so that's one thing to keep in mind. Don't be afraid to ask questions in the way one might in some other language communities.
Bot hovering the world to spot all the faces hidden on earth
This guy doesn’t seem to know much about really existing supercapacitors. Assuming that 1200F is enough, you can get a 1200F supercap (Maxwell BCAP1200 P270 K04) rated for 2.7V that’s 60.7 mm in diameter and 74.30 mm tall. He’s assuming 6V, so let’s say you need two of them. That’s still way too large for a phone, but nowhere near as huge as he suggests.
Yes we're currently using Screenhero and enjoying it thus far!
It might be more helpful if you provided an argument that wasn't just an assertion of your personal tastes.

A New Book: Building Machine Learning Systems with Python
V8 is fixing bugs they had that caused asm.js-style JavaScript to be slower than it needs to be. I doubt they'll honour the "use asm" directive in the near future.

asm.js is indeed a smaller API. I guess extreme pragmatism is what has been driving the web, but it can be argued whether that's great or terrible :(
"Twilio for X" is the biggest offender in this category of "We can't succinctly describe our product by itself" shitty taglines.
The Java version of patenting the Wheel
asm.js is a well-specified subset of things that are already pretty much standardized. PNaCl adds a whole lot of new stuff that has not been subject to community review, like (for instance) the entire input processing and rendering API. And it isn't yet clear which quirks are meant to be standard, as opposed to whatever happen to be accidents of the initial Chrome implementation.

If PNaCl were "just" coupling LLVM bytecode with some defined way of invoking existing browser APIs from within the bytecode, this would be a whole lot easier for browsers other than Chrome to support. But that's not what they're doing, or at least, not yet.

This is just one of the reasons why I feel developing web apps has gotten harder. While there are a lot of javascript frameworks it is likely two projects pick different routes. It basically means if I need to maintain a project I will have to learn a new javascript library.
I agree with you. Their biggest challenge will be scheduling. Their goals are quite noble but I think they should retract the "instant" promise because if they want to be selective in their mentor pool, they're going to have trouble meeting that.

ETA: what kinds of hourly rates do tutors tend to make? I'm just curious how that market plays out.
white-hat status just means you don't do any harm

This definition falls short. For example, the hacker who spends time searching for a vulnerability with the intent to do harm, but fails to find one. The hacker has done no harm, therefore by your definition he or she is a white hat despite the fact that they would do harm given the opportunity. For that reason, a person's motivations need to be taken into account in order to provide a proper assessment.
> I mean Wozniak in 1979? What had he done at that point to be in the same list with Knuth or even Bill Joy?

Woz was largely responsible for designing the Apple I & Apple II, both of which played a pretty significant part in starting the entire PC industry. Seems like a pretty spectacular achievement to me.
Real-time Object Recognition API for your commerce/photo apps
A NSL is a government order to produce something, so is a warrant. The difference is that a warrant has oversight as a check against abuse, and a NSL has removed all oversight (no judge, can't talk about it, etc).

| The whole judicial oversight is the main and
| most important difference

Not necessarily. If Google (or whomever) could publish all of the NSLs that they get, it would have the possibility to cause public backlash that spurns Congress into action. Let's not forget that if we use the 'secret court' (e.g. FISA) to approve these NSLs, there's a 99.9% chance of them being approved. The FISA court rarely rejects what is put to it (which makes it sort of telling that the government doesn't even want to deal with the formality of the FISA court).

| Justice is supposed to be a balance and in
| these case the other side is loading the scale.

You are trying to say that because you don't like National Security Letters, but you do agree with warrants that they have to contain no similarities. I disagree with NSLs, but talking about NSLs like warrants without judicial oversight doesn't require some addendum of, "OMG! NSLs ARE NOT WARRANTS! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!"
The problem is that "2-clause BSD" is already a generally accepted term for referring to the BSD license with clause 3 removed. Such a license is effectively equivalent to the MIT and ISC licenses, though.
Competition generally drives prices down. Governments involving themselves in the marketplace generally drive prices up.

If you are talking about Quake, fans have made plenty of high resolution textures, there is a 2.5GB HRTP at moddb: http://www.moddb.com/mods/quake-epsilon-build

Compare that to the original game data being around 30MB.

Interestingly, fan texture projects almost always have super high fidelity that normal games don't. Most of the Epsilon textures are in the 4kx4k neighborhood.
Schema liberation with json and plv8 (and Postgres)
Most supercaps are rated for very low voltages (this one is only rated for 2.4V), as dictated by the breakdown voltages of the dielectric and its manufacturing tolerances. A 6V-rated 1200F supercap made from the same materials will be considerably larger. Further, most electrical engineers will enforce a factor of safety beyond the manufacturing tolerances . This is doubly true for capacitors, since dielectric failure on high energy caps can be somewhat catastrophic (read: explosive).
Thanks! You can name your own rate (in 15-min increments).
What's the longest time you've actually gone in your life without seeing another human?

I've done 10-12 days a few times, and routinely do ~5 days.

You need to experience it for yourself before you make such bold claims. It's a very intense experience.
No idea why you are getting down-voted. But you are right. Cloud Computing is fine - if cloud services were properly implementing user sided encryption.
So exactly like Coffee - it enables you to do class-based inheritance and mixins which is NOT possible in JavaScript... without writing 10x more code.

Standard library of Elixir should be available to pure Erlang too, right? From what I recall from interoperability docs.

Could you post a tiny little example of metaprogramming in Elixir that would appeal to quite experienced Erlang developer who knows about parse transforms?

1) Boston City council may have some legal requirement to make these files available to people with disabilities under some disabilities law. You could contact a group for people with hearing impairment to ask for their advice.

2) I remember when you used to be able to search for a file extension and get useful information. Now I search and I get useless, hopeless, results. Really awful. SEO has poisoned the WWW and search engines are not doing a good enough job of repairing that damage. :-(

2b) Doing a websearch returns many posts made to various forums asking for this media to be made open. Perhaps these are all from the same person on a campaign.

3) You could buy the software, and load the files. (Also, possibly export them to an open format?)

4) You could ask someone at Bountify to create a file-reader for you. (https://bountify.co/) Make sure to leave good information, and an easy link to one of these files.

5) You could ask the makers of the machine to create a simple, limited feature, reader for the files. They don't appear to have one at their website. (http://www.stenograph.com/pages.aspx?docid=757&id=40001)

6) You could investigate Open Source - Plover (http://plover.stenoknight.com/) might be able to convert the software. Or maybe someone could add conversion routines to it.
1. According to that article, books, ability to write etc. would be out of the question. That's the part of the problem that we are discussing here - that the lack of stimuli (basically absolute boredom) can be torturous. Your argument seems to be like 'I would be OK with them torturing me if they just did not do things I don't like to me'.

2. I think that you would be really surprised how cruel the lack of social contact can be. We are wired to be social but it's hard to even imagine spending prolonged time without talking to others etc. because most of us have never experienced it.

Someone who has never experienced hunger could think that they would be OK without food... but I am pretty sure they would change their mind after three days without a bite.

"Describe your product in 3-5 words. Consider comparing your product with something that people are already familiar with. For example:

-> Better comparison shopping (Shopobot)

-> Flickr for video (YouTube)

-> Group video chat (Tinychat)"

- AngelList hover suggestion for writing your high-concept pitch.

Here's how I see it:

1) There are many, many thousands of startups on AngelList.

2) AL explicitly prescribes this exact "X for Y" formula for writing your 1-liner, where X is a well-known success.

3) Uber is a well-know success.

4) Author points out that "30+" companies chose Uber as their X.

This doesn't really seem like a fair characterization. People are following suggested wisdom and 30+ is hardly considerable. Probably about what would be statistically expected, distributing good candidates for X (well-known successes) across AL startups.
Many of the warranted search battles when dealing with online information center around who owns the data. "Persons, houses, papers, and effects" might have made a lot of sense when indirect communication only could travel via letters, and knowledge only stored in books and memoirs.

If a jewelry store puts up cameras to track people in the store, the jewelry store owns the footage and information. If Google tracks user queries, Google owns the tracking data (even if its about me). If I buy a storage locker, a warrant is needed to open it up without my consent. If Google "sells" me data storage either directly or indirectly, I assume I own the data stored within and it should take a warrant to access it, regardless of how easy it might be for the superintendent of the service to access it.
The MIT, ISC, and zlib do not seem to, and the OEM is happy with the ISC. I didn't check the GPL, because its overall design conflicts with my intent.

Here's the ISC license, in its entirety:

Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any
purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above
copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES

WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN
ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.

I don't think the "appear in all copies" applies to binary distribution, or at least there's more room for interpretation because it is far less explicit. IANAL, but if it did, there would likely be a LOT of violations - people typically don't embed the license as a string in compiled libraries. (That would probably be a disincentive for using the GPL, which is several times larger than my compiled library!)

Edit: The zlib license explicitly says "source distribution", and does not apply to binary distributions. Good to know.

I don't pay $2 an episode on DVD - and then it's mine for years. Six disc boxsets of 18-20 episodes are going for 12-15 quid. The download should not be more expensive than the physical item - it shouldn't even be in the same ballpark.

It's very difficult to believe that, when you average it out, the fair market price for a movie download is $2. It's, to all intents and purposes free once you've paid for the cost of production.

Now coffee, by comparison, is relatively expensive to make and transport than then pay those little coffee house people to turn the machine on for you. There are a lot more palms to grease in the coffee business. It's not even close to comparable.

And it's not as if coffee sets the price at $2/40 minutes pleasure anyway. You only need a few cups of coffee for the entire day, and then you've got the rest of the experience - at least if you're in a decent coffee shop.

It just doesn't make any sense - the things shouldn't, on what it costs to make, be that expensive. And in terms of pleasure the equation's massively inaccurate.
