La celulitis – más que un problema estético
Considerada simplemente un trastorno estético por mucho tiempo, ya que constituye un deterioro de la imagen corporal, en la actualidad se acepta como una afección que repercute físicamente, con modificaciones de la superficie de la piel en cuanto a color, consistencia, espesor y el característico poceado, especialmente a nivel de muslos y glúteos, acompañada muchas veces de dolor y pesadez.

De causa multifactorial, se desarrolla a partir de modificaciones genéticas, raciales, vasculares, hormonales, hábitos sedentarios y estrés. Puede desarrollarse a cualquier edad y está fundamentalmente ligada a cambios hormonales como la menarca, embarazo, menopausia y uso de anticonceptivos. También puede asociarse a patologías endocrinológicas, circulatorias, metabólicas, osteoarticulares (pie plano).

IOS7 icons, love them or hate them? 
There has been furious debate in the last twenty four hours on the merits and failings of Apple’s iOS7 update, and the most hotly debated subject is the new icons. They’ve been hailed as a daring, and radical move, and they’ve been condemned as a half-hearted Android rip-off. Apple are hoping that they’ll mark the start of a sustainable alternative to skeuomorphism that isn’t constrained by flat design.

There were indeed search engines pre-google, the "big four" and a host of smaller ones.

There were also "directories" that were very useful. Yahoo's at least is still around. If you wanted to find a bunch of sites on a specific topic you'd use those. But a lot of the time you would follow links between sites - most sites would have a dedicated page of "links to other sites that we think are good/related". A sibling has mentioned webrings which were also a thing.

I never used AOL, but it had a "keyword" system that worked a bit like twitter - you could look up a keyword and see a bunch of sites that claimed to be related to it.

And it was a lot more common to type in a URL that you found offline - books came with their homepage on (they probably still do).
Terrific news! Many thanks to all who made it possible.

Peopleware, Page 78, "Creative Space":

"During the 1960s, researchers at Cornell University conducted a series of tests on the effects of working with music. They polled a group of computer science students and divided the students into two groups, those who liked to have music in the background while they worked (studied) and those who did not. Then they put half of each group together in a silent room, and the other half of each
group in a different room equipped with earphones and a musical selection.Participants in both rooms were given a Fortran programming problem to work out from specification. To no one's surprise, participants in the two rooms performed about the same in speed and accuracy of programming. As any kid who does his arithmetic homework with the music on knows, the part of the brain required for arithmetic and related logic is unbothered by music —there's another brain center that listens to the music.
The Cornell experiment, however, contained a hidden wild
card. The specification required that an output data stream be formed through a series of manipulations on numbers in the input data stream. For example, participants had to shift each number two digits to the left and then divide by one hundred and so on, perhaps completing a dozen operations in total. Although the specification never said it, the net effect of all the operations was that each output number was necessarily equal to its input number. Some people realized this and others did not. Of those who figured it out, the overwhelming majority came from the quiet room."

(I hope this still counts as fair-use)

The whole part "Creative Space" is longer than my excerpt, so if you have access to Peopleware I recommend reading all of it.
This new feature makes it easier to do this, as the post-commit hook only has to push to another repo, as well as making it dead simple for people on smaller teams to do use this without having to implement anything beyond adding an extra remote.

I had a similar setup in place, now I can happily delete most of that code and configuration files.

For me, 'white noise' - type sounds- sounds of rainfall, waves, etc. [1]- help me focus. I usually work with nothing, bu one day when working in a noisy environment I discovered that putting headphones on and listening to 'sound of nature' tracks worked very well. So well, in fact, that now when I get stuck or am just having trouble focusing for any reason I do this.

[1] I think this is called 'brown noise' these days.
Ruby and Scala are for two different kinds of environments. One is an environment where having less code to maintain (that can also be highly legible) matters and where you have a lot of options. The other is an environment where an edge in performance is more important, but not important enough to write it in an even faster language/not run in the JVM at all.

I noticed a lack of a link to a 1:1 comparison of application code with realistic examples. I think such comparisons and related discussion are often the best way to convince someone to use a language.

And some slides were just blatantly wrong, like Mixin Abuse: apparently that is just a long list of module includes? I have never seen so many module includes in a single class in application code. But, assuming you did have that, you should show what it would look like side-by-side in Scala. In Ruby, there are a lot of options when it comes to including other code or defining code in a class, instance, etc. Those options can lead to much less and more legible code if used correctly.

I remember when people said Java was slow; they made it seem like it was a fad, and no reputable company would use it. And... we see where that went.

Report finds that Human Genome Project has added $1 trillion to US economy
As far as I understand it OP wants higher res finished images than what was being offered. Asking for the raw files in addition to the 2.5mp images isn't the best end result for OP. That's a lot of work they'd have to do to get raws ready for printing. Therefore in this instance asking for the raw files IS wrong. What they should be asking for is finished jpgs - high res around 8 or 9 mp, perfect for prints & the low res too which are great for web use. Going all the way back to the raw file just results in them getting a totally unedited picture.

You say whatever can be done to a raw can be done to a jpg, that's not true. If you receive a nicely cropped jpg image you can't go back to the original full image with it's rough edges. With jpgs the photographer gets to set the crop, white balance, sharpening & saturation he is happy with.

It sounds like the photographer wants OP to go back to him for prints. With a bit of negotiation they can arrange to have the print quality jpgs on a disc. No need to go back to the start of the creative process and get completely unedited raws.

Traditional web browsing uses hypermedia (i.e., links), but that doesn't necessarily implement a directory. For example, HN is filled with links, but there's no hierarchy implied, so it's not a directory.

Directories on the web exist, but they're mostly very small and localized (e.g., website navigation). Web-wide directories like DMOZ were all but obsoleted by search engines.

Actually it depends on what you're trying to do - a good Android developer will spend the same amount of time implementing some of the features as a good iOS developer and some things are easier to do here and some there. The main issue I think is the learning curve, because on iOS you usually have to think about memory allocation (although it got better with ARC), but other than that I wouldn't say that either of the platforms is "tougher".

The main reason some apps come to iOS first is better app discovery and a larger user base. If you manage to score a high user base, the monetization is quite awarding so that's why developers choose iOS first. Definitely not because of iOS being easier than Android.
I'm particularly impressed by the way they've taken a tool that shouldn't be used for deployments; quoted the gurus who've said "don't use it for deployment"; and gone ahead with creating ways to use it for deployment.

Maybe the next project can be a tool to automate rebasing published history and force-pushing it to origin? People are always saying you shouldn't do that either.
Perhaps it's still questionable whether his work will have any actual effect on the industry as a whole, as opposed to just academia.
I don't think that's what Gemmell has been saying at all. He has been dismissive of the Windows 8 "No Compromises" approach, but Metro, as found on Windows Phone and the Surface (not Surface Pro), he has always seemed rather positive to me. Some examples:

"It’s not quite minimalist, though; it’s more like finding yourself living inside an infographic. The presentation is flat and high-contrast, but there’s little that’s familiar in the surroundings. It eschews skeuomorphism utterly. It’s hip, razor-edged and as modern as it can be without surrendering to the whims of futurism.

It’s almost perfectly digital, and is focused on information and content above all. Metro presents the device as little more than a viewport into a digital information space – indeed, the idea is immediately shown to the user via the concept of the horizontally moving viewport.
If there’s a current mobile user experience that should most appeal to Star Trek’s LCARS apologists like myself, then it’s surely Metro rather than iOS."
http://mattgemmell.com/2012/04/13/augmented-paper/

"Much of the lavishness of iOS (and its imitator, Android) feels like an artefact of the desktop era; a time when we were all still learning how to think about computing devices. By contrast, Windows Phone leaps to the other extreme, being as different as possible for the sake of it. Clear boundaries, sleek lines, and a kind of overt zen futurism."
http://mattgemmell.com/2013/05/12/tail-wagging/

That second one may seem like it's supporting your point, but Gemmell is deliberately contrasting the iOS style as "an arteface of the desktop era", whilst Metro gets "Clear", "sleek" and "zen" as its adjectives. In other words, Metro is clearly the approach getting the thumbs up here.
I obviously don't know much but it seems stupid to not tell your team who they're going after. They would use that information to plan the breach and I'd suspect a good squad leader would demand to know before going in.

> that does not mean it is of much interest from a theoretical CS perspective

JavaScript theoretically uninteresting? Are you kidding?

What about its unusual prototypical inheritance? JSON-style literals? Its notation for anonymous functions? The approach modern JS frameworks take to single-threaded asynchronous execution?

IMHO, JS is not the best language for getting work done [1], but it has lots of innovations which are worthy of study.

[1] If you need to do Web frontend stuff, obviously JavaScript is the only game in town, unless you're into Flash, Java applets, or compilers with JS backends.
I'm sure there will eventually be some form of jailbreak for the console that allows the execution of pirate games.

However the number of people who are willing to jailbreak will probably be small enough that they don't really care.

The beauty of online activation is that the console doesn't need to store the activation key, so you can't leak it by hacking the console as was done on the PS3.

You just sign game activations with a hardware encryption module in a high security datacenter. The console then only has to know the corresponding public key which is not enough to authorize a game for a console that has not been jailbroken.
These are different platforms:

* UI design is a lot easier on iOS if you use XCode's interactive designer. Doing it on Android with Eclipse's designer is painful, but I expect that Android Studio will make that easier.

* UI design without the interactive designer is easier on Android, because iOS is quite verbose for this

* About the code, I have found that iOS's APIs are badly designed, and change too often. The API's of Android are much more stable, but they can require too much code sometimes (example: setting onclick listeners for elements).

* About the tests, it is a lot easier to test for every iOS device, because there are so few (and iOS versions are rapidly deprecated). Android devices have a lot of different OS versions, screen resolutions, CPU, etc. That makes it tougher to test exhaustively.

Nevertheless, I have found that Android development is a lot easier than iOS development (at least for me), simply because XCode spends its time fighting me. For Android, I can just bypass Eclipse and work directly in vim with a Makefile, or I can develop in Scala and use SBT. It's much more fun that way :)

And to answer the last question: apps are primarily developed for iOS because:

* it is believed that iOS users are more likely to pay for an app

* journalists are often more on iOS than Android (and you want to please them)

* CEOs are often more on iOS than Android

It's a common joke that Ruby is designed to make it as hard as possible for parsers.

For the code samples going forward, keep in mind that in ruby you don't need a literal return statement to return a value from a method. Just whatever value is last, is returned:

def val
5
end

That method would always return 5.

> But then if the b() call itself returns a function, then is that function auto-called as well?

No, the only way to pass a method is by using method(method_name_here), which returns a Method object. To execute a Method object, you need to call call on it:

def a
end
method(:a).call

So if you have a method that returns a method, it should not be automatically called, so there's no loop necessary:

def b
method(:a)
end

z = b

Then z is a Method object, namely a.

Some experiments to answer your questions (I admit I wasn't sure for all of them what the outcome would be). IRB is Ruby's repl:

irb(main):001:0> def a
irb(main):002:1> 5
irb(main):003:1> end

irb(main):019:0> {a: 1}
=> {:a=>1}
irb(main):020:0> {a(): 1}

irb(main):013:0> h-3

irb(main):014:0> h -3

Undermining in a good way?
That was a long, windy read for … no clear argument and a ton of begged questions. Spammers have been trying to get backlinks since the 90s – no evidence that this has suddenly become unmanageable. There's a flat claim that nobody makes legitimate backlinks any more, which is both completely unsupported and transparently wrong.

“Destruction of the Web” is a bold title for what appears to be a minor kerfluffle affecting only web marketing types trying to scam search engines. If you produce decent content or something else useful, you can ignore it and carry on: back links will take care of themselves as they have for the last couple decades.

Put another way: the link-bait title got me to click but the anemic post left me less likely to come back and uninterested in sharing. Fix that if you want better search engine rankings.
Yep, I'm also for it.
Yes, actually.

I'm not an American. Which means that I am glad that there's finally some media outrage concerning privacy in general, because it was already public knowledge for months (with no leaks necessary) that the EU agreed the NSA could tap any EU-citizen's data in the US (or under the jurisdiction of).

For some reason this went by without barely a squeak[0].

In fact, a great many transgressions on our privacy (concerning both US and the EU and probably the World) went by without a squeak.

There is enough to be outraged about, even without knowing what this leak exactly entails. The important point is, it has the public's attention. And if the overwhelming majority of people are not okay with unlimited surveillance, isn't that a good thing? As you say, popular support going forward? It's about time, didn't you think?

It's up to the teacher really. I had a professor who accused an entire class of plagiarism for a small assignment because they all used similar logic. The thing was, it was a low-level class and the solution was less than 50 lines of Java anyway. There wasn't really room for unique solutions.

In the industry, using templates/boilerplate code is expected and encouraged. No reason to re-invent something if someone's already done it better than you will.

If it's just for the API within your mobile app I would go for a self signed certificate. Make sure the app verifies that the signature is the correct one, and you should be good to go.

The reason I recommend this is because you are in control of the client, so you do not need to rely on a third party for trust. That, and it's free.
