Echo3 Web Application Framework announces the release of version 3.0
Echo3 is a light-weight open-source framework for developing rich
single-page web applications. The server-side Java API enables fast &
complex client/server applications using a Swing-style component
API. The identical JavaScript API allows the easy development of pure client-side
applications using the very same clean and intuitive programming model.
New components can be easily adopted for both platforms.

Echo3 has had a very long beta phase and the 3.0 release is rock solid
and incredibly stable. It is being successfully used in multiple large
scale enterprise applications.

Echo3 highlights

1. Fast, scalable and stable
2. Light-weight (less than 1MB JARs, no dependencies)
3. Hybrid Java/JavaScript programming model
Develop pure client side or server side web applications
4. Advanced features such as sever side push, tab focus management
5. Component based and very intuitive API
6. Eclipse plugin for visual editing and Maven artifacts available
7. Manages quirks & supports legacy browsers

The project has recently seen a lot of activity powered by current Echo3
users who recognize the strength and quality of Echo3 in contrast to its
competitors and who want to see Echo3 develop further.

Planning for 3.1 is currently underway as is an update of the website,
forums, etc.

Though I do agree with your main point, nothing happened to Assange until Sweden asked to have him extradited to complete the charging process.
> I flew home that night, posted my meeting notes on my website, emailed all of my clients to announce the news, and went to sleep.

> When I woke, I had furious emails and voicemails from my contact at Apple.

How was this unexpected? Who goes to a business meeting with a potential partner that can make your business soar, and then goes and blabs all over the internet about the partner's business strategy. Who does that shit?

He literally published Apple's perfected pitch and detailed strategy online the very next day:

http://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=66729&cid=6133882

Apple & CD Baby's partnership was ultimately very beneficial for both companies, but Derek certainly went a bit overboard publishing those meeting notes.
Damn, it's timing out for me as well. I'll restart it immediately and stretch the Rackspace instance if won't take long. Sorry
This is a nice little tutorial, I like how it gets directly to the point.

I had trouble with the preview for step 2+ though, I couldn't enter any characters in either field in the form with Firefox 21 on Linux. Worked OK in Chromium.

I guess that worries me a bit about the angular approach. When the guts are hidden shouldn't they be extra sure that it works cross browser?

All in all a very compelling tutorial. Please fix the github link so we can download the code!
Specifically, what "domestic spying" are you talking about?

Since you ask:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants-n...

In particular see the 3rd slide down for the type of information the NSA claims it can collect.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/06/nsa-phone-record...

I'm curious where the line is you're trying to draw.

Can't speak for the OP, but I imagine for most people that line is somewhere well before the mass surveillance of phone records etc which the US is currently engaging in. Are you genuinely confused about why people might oppose that or care about it?
I get that, but I'd consider it a fairly rare stance. Perhaps I muddled things up in the comment by including cooking. I happen to enjoy both, but I'd argue that most people enjoy at least the eating part. To try to save time on it sounds like a terrible trade off (unless other people eat for hours on end?).
Right. I'll ditch papers for money.
Ah, yes, eAccelerator, I remember that one. Most people are probably using apc nowadays, and I haven't had any problems with it.

By the way: Starting with PHP 5.5, Zend's own opcode cache will be included by default.
> Unfortunately its extreme object-orientation...

Like Smalltalk, Eiffel, C#, VB.NET

> It's too high-level to be useful for systems or game programming

True if you are speaking about AAA games or writing kernels, for everything else lots of people seem to be quite successful using it.

> So, it's mostly used for building enterprise web services. And Android apps.

And in embedded environments powerful enough to run it, like windmills, electricity control meters, missile radar controls, blue ray players, J2ME mobiles, ...
How can it be extended?
I imagine it is more aimed at the quick look up. Check a document in a meeting and things like that. Review someone else's work, etc.
If you're young and inexperienced, or want to flaunt your disregard for safety, a "Speed Limit 25" sign won't dissuade you either. It might even persuade you.
There's little if any used market for PC games, so not being able to resell a used Steam copy of a game doesn't differentiate it from a physical copy. The same isn't true for console games.
A perfectly balanced meal in a glass? Of course it's popular. Most people don't come close to "balanced meal", and suffer the consequences via various illnesses. Most people have other things to do most of the time than making and eating awesome food; for a great many it's more an inconvenience of making hunger pains go away for a few hours.

Soylent's creator makes it very clear he still enjoys making and eating awesome food - he just doesn't want to deal with doing so 1,095 times every year. If anything, he appreciates good food even more.
Free HiveMQ MQTT broker download and website relaunch
Yeah, that's pretty scary... I can only imagine what would happen if we were foolish enough to give a government even more dangerous stuff, like millions of small arms, heavy weaponry, or even nuclear weapons. Why, the sheer power would probably instantly turn them into a dystopia.

Yes, and there is exactly the dilemma. After I buy Office, I expect to not upgrade it for at least 5 years, if not 10. (but surely not only 2.5)

Hey IE8/9 wanna crash because of CSS?
Wouldn't mind so much if that information was known about the politicians that their minions. What have they got to hide?

Heh, and if they are pure, clean and perfect, who the hell do they represent?

If they know it about us, we should damn well know it about them.
I don't agree with the context either.

1) If the Government has a problem with you, then a few IM chat records and your pr0n site subscription history will be the least of your problems.

Previously 'undesirables' would be tailed by agents or a private eye.

2) They can simply frame you. Child pr0n planted on your computer somehow, hell even your best friends / wife would disown you.

3) Is "recording more" either "finding needles" or just "making the haystack bigger" ?

ADD ONE TO COBOL GIVING Java
The logic is just too silly, too not-well-thought-out for me to buy into it.

We come in trying to find a way to take money out of gamestop, and put some in developers and get you possibly cheaper games...

The biggest problem here is that this - the whole crux of his paste - did not happen at launch. If this were true, then MS would make new XBox One games cheaper than $60 - but they didn't. The XBox One games are all $60.

If you want games cheaper then 59.99, you have to limit used games somehow

MS did find a way - the new XBox One model is built around this. But the games aren't cheaper.

Nice try, but it's either (a) bogus, (b) faulty/incomplete understanding by a lower level employee, or (c) some lower level employee buying into a bunch of management speak.
I think Michael Pollan described it well when he said food in America was undergoing a process of 'nutrification', i.e., breaking it down into its nutrients, and trying to create supplements with those nutrients.
The studies in the book, though, say that we haven't yet cracked the code. I.e., taking the equivalent of one apple's nutrients isn't the same as eating an apple. The reasons weren't quite known yet. I read the book a long while back, so my recollection may be spotty.

There are two issues that I think that are important to keep in mind though.

The first big story here is the extent to which the US government has been (and continues to) compel big internet businesses and telco's to do their spying for them. This is an important thing to keep in mind, and I think that it is important when we look at what products we as founders develop. One of the huge threats that Google poses is the degree to which disparate sources of tracking information are tied together. With Android, for example, your cell phone is connected to an email address.

The second is the degree to which companies are being forced to make things intelligence-friendly. Here I think another point here is to build products which are intelligence-unfriendly as a way of pushing back. I have some ideas for start-ups I would be interested in participating in, in this area. My time availability is less than I would like but....

The first would be a verifiable secure telephony platform, resistant to in the middle eavesdropping, ideally incorporated in a country with strong protections for such things (Switzerland sounds nice).

The second would be decentralized cryptography services of some sort.

All projects I think would have to be open source because this would help put pressure on governments not to interfere.
What you described is mostly a problem of the standard library. Sometimes it's too low-level and it's better to use 3rd pary libraries for things like HTTP. There should definitely a way to create urls without having to check exception (ie. it would throw a RuntimeException that doesn't need to be checked).

Java 7 also lacks very useful features like lambdas, mixins, nested methods etc.

However, Java is a good choice for many projects, because it has fantastic tooling, lots of libraries and it's relatively fast. The tooling is really a huge advantage of Java. When I refactor Java code in Eclipse, I sometimes wonder how would I do this when it was Python (which I use for smaller projects).

I wish there was a language combining the pros of Java & Python...
Hashtags Won't Solve Facebook's Biggest Problem
He called (presumably) your country a bad place to live.

Your response is a drastic overreaction and is nothing more than an ad hominem attack on another user. Nothing in his post suggests he's never been elsewhere or that he's particularly immature.

Does your post seem like a reasonable response to anything?
The EFF notably feels[1] that 'zero-day' exploits should be front and center in cybersecurity debates.

Their stance is that they directly oppose 'green hats' who are selling exploits to customers that don't intend on fixing the flaws (buying a hacker's silence) and selling to governments whom intend on using the exploits for clandestine operations.

Except it generates bigger and slower executables than Java tooling does, although ProGuard helps a bit.
This is not right. You're right in that many cases a woman can choose to not have the child with or without consent of the father, but she is then faced with the real consequences of having to have an abortion, whether emotional, physical, or other. Every woman will deal with an abortion differently, and I'm not arguing that all women feel consequences, but certainly there is a burden there that must be dealt with. A man would not have to deal with these consequences - he could just literally walk away. To me, this is a significant moral hazard.
The Oculus Rift was made for space battles
I hadn't seen that series, brave journo.
isn't "if you can avoid it" the crux here? there's a trade-off between freedom and protection. and the idea was, i thought, that people decided that together, as a community, and created laws that reflect it.

but what's happening here doesn't follow any law. it's extra protection, and less freedom.

and what's so weird is the way people like you come out of the woodwork as apologists for this process.

when are you going to stop?

the usa already has laws so "protecting" and "un-freedom" that it seems the nsa can assemble huge databases on your communication. if you hadn't noticed, there's a huge fuss about that right now. yet the best you can come up with is to argue that less freedom than the current law provides is a great idea?

it kind of boggles the mind. how little freedom do you actually want?
Christ, imagine if Hoover had today's tool available to him. Imagine the reach and power of McCarthyism.

I guess many would suggest that is exactly what we have right now. Just more subtle, opaque, and deniable.
This- this and this. If every entrepreneur knew this from day 0, I'd garner we'd have a lot less mental breakdowns :)

It reminds me of a story of me when I got super excited about a contract with Zipcar, it was going great after meeting and email then silence. And 2 weeks later, got the call to end it all.

The lesson is to be humble/modest and don't get excited/lose focus when dealing with bigger cats- once the contract is signed AND money is transfered then maybe you can celebrate a bit.
It's not a cheap diet-oriented meal replacement (little more than protein, sugar, and vitamin mix) intended to provide satiating filler with minimal meaningful content but still requiring "a sensible meal". It's a serious attempt at providing EVERYTHING a body needs, including hard-to-manage micronutrients.

I feel like 6 is likely to happen before anything else. His presence is a net negative for Ecuador, I can't see it being very popular that they have a highly wanted individual hanging around the house all day.
Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean. I think Go does a pretty good job of being a middle ground between Java and Python, it has the static typing with all the tooling advantages it brings, without the annoying need to be explicit about everything. I think you'll like it.
Probably because it's already written in the laws?
Honestly? If I could get a low but livable wage to do public service, I might. But the key thing stopping me is knowing that I'm simply not personable enough for it. I'm too much a consummate nerd to work with people 100% of the time.
It's signaling.

I disagree, they work for us. The sooner you realize that is the sooner we get this fixed.
And yet the CSS animation performance bug persists in iOS7.
CD Baby was HUGE in the early 2000s, especially for independent bands/musicians. This was before anything like Amazon music, iTunes store, etc. For the most part, digital music was still heavily being pirated at this point in time, at least until the music industry got a better grip of the digital music market.

I've been struck by the decades-long change "health food stores" have made from raw bulk fresh/dried produce to endless rows of little white plastic bottles.
It does, but when you have to learn Java and Android development in one go, learning Scala on top of that (since all the docs are in Java), is pretty daunting.
The US has a nuclear submarine that was apparently modified to allow tapping of undersea communications cables:

I use CouchSurfing, but never attended 'meetups' because I don't care, so I have no idea what he's talking about. As long as I can find a place to crash at or a person to walk around show the town, Couchsurfing works just fine for me.

Can't say the same about the new website - it looks better but the experience is extremely frustrating.

Oh, if somebody is surprised that a social network of ANY kind is used for dating - well, you must be new on the internet.

One of the biggest problems with the political situation here in Italy is the level of cynicism and "oh poor us, we can't do anything". That attitude is a very sure way of not being able to do anything, and it's absolutely poisonous.
This is known as the highest honour you can get just above knighthood.
Actually, it is. If we use services that do not keep logs or has real name policies, or if we favor companies that takes an active stance against surveillance rather than just buying from what ever is cheapest, we pushes society into a place where the spying is not socially accepted practices for for-profit organizations.

This event is already having that effect in EU. Governments is already creating policy/laws that favors national services over Google. If they go a step further and make a law that forbids moving privileged information to a US data cloud to be picked and prodded by spies and advertisers, that will have a real effect on Google, Microsoft, amazon and Apple. Suddenly, doctors can not use iphones connected with icloud for their practice. Lawyers can't use Microsoft 360 with mails going through Microsoft servers or store their mail in the cloud. Government can't purchase amazon cloud for developing. Even schools can't use Google docs when working with student records.

I have no doubt in me that the us government would listen to Google, Microsoft, amazon and Apple if such law was ever created.
Gittip is About People, not Products
I've never been couchsurfing myself but some years ago when I was only doing part time work my girlfriend and I welcomed an American couchsurfer into our home.

He was working for the Peace Corps in Eastern Europe and wanted to check out Vienna as well, he was the nicest guy ever. It was a great experience but only now I realize that there seemed to be some kind of unwritten rule as he bought us some gifts - a cool retro table cloth and a cool little elephant for my girlfriend. We didn't have any expectations so it made us quite happy but then again I think this really shouldn't be a must.

I thought the culture on that platform is more about giving without expectations.
I read that in the case of C vitamin, for instance, the body simply doesn't recognise it as C vitamin when it doesn't come directly from fruit. Just ignores it and passes it onto urine.

A nootropicist friend I have suggested that C vitamin only works in combination with Magnesium supplements ... etc. It gets pretty complicated. I'd rather just eat a stupid piece of fruit. It's tasty, efficient, and awesome. Why complicate things with dystopian future pills?

I don't know much about the other languages you mentioned, but C# is multi-paradigm, allowing certain functional and declarative programming practices that Java does not. It's much more expressive than Java.
Bonus points:

This question assumes the interface between the water and the air is at rest. Think of a bubbler in an aquarium. Would splashing around periodically increase or decrease your survivability? That is, would the increased rate of gas exchange at the air/water interface be greater or less than the increased rate of gas exchange at the air/blood interface?

Double super extra bonus points if you can plot this based on credible data.

Edit: Or alternatively - what if he just breathed out through a tube placed under the water such that his bubbles were recaptured?

Edit 2: I wonder if dehydration due to the salt exposure also played a role in making his situation more survivable. Would dehydration have reduced total air/blood gas exchange in a meaningful way?
Question then remains, why isn't it green?

Because it's not made of people.
This just highlights the importance of reporting incidents immediately, and not just to the police of course - though I imagine / hope they warn and notify the proper channels.
The article fails to mention how much product is in the bag you get (weight) and it's kcal/day ratio. The bag looks really small in the picture...
Also, think about how much you will hate the flavor after a while. Anyone who ever bought cherry flavored protein powder by mistake will know what I'm talking about. Have fun forcing the stuff down your throat the 10th or 20th time. I going to eat my steak an laugh at you.

That said I would be really interested to use the product on expeditions IF it provides a significant advantage.
So - how is this superior to a load of sugar(s), whey protein and a micronutrients supplement?

Yes, that is true. Although Microsoft are trying to get consumers on to Office 365 too - they got rid of their 3 computer home license to push the Office 365 home package which runs on 5 devices. Personally I don't think that's a great idea - I think too many people are going to think about the cost of a subscription and decide it's not worth it. Buying a license as a one off cost with your new computer is easier to swallow imo.

If you have an iPhone, would you rather have a stylesheet that has everything and the kitchen sink in it (for tablets and desktop environments, all the -firefox- stuff and IE hacks) or would you rather have a stylesheet just for the iPhone?
