APPLE technique: (?)

- Ask

- Pause

- Probe / Pick

- Listen

- Elaborate

per http://www.exforsys.com/career-center/facilitator/core-skill...

"An effective facilitator does not just end at asking effective questions. Proper timing and accurate delivery are also important. For a good and effective facilitation, the APPLE technique might work best. APPLE is the acronym for asking the question, pausing to allow the participants to comprehend the question and think of an answer, picking a member to provide an answer, listening to the answer provided, and expounding or elaborating more on the answers given. More importantly, listen to the answers of the questions you asked."
While type inference is nice, I'd still prefer to mark locations explicitly.
Interestingly enough, the response seems to be people moving towards Slurm [1], at least for newly deployed systems.

Anyone know of other open-source resource managers out there?

I take it you've never lost an important email account, it can be very isolating. For some people that can be deadly.

I'm not saying that them fighting it isn't a good thing, but its hillarious that they're holding themselves out to be crusaders of freedom and privacy when they are one of the most prolific producers of "profile" data. You could even say they create "anti-privacy".

Ah yes, I used to have this, but deleted it when there appeared to be no use for them - hadn't realised search had changed, but looking back that must be what it was.
They've probably not started a war. I honestly believe it takes a bit more than that. (Admittedly, they should not be doing stuff in the category of "might start a war" without the knowledge/consent of the general public.)

However, this whole "foreign entity" business did just start them a domestic war - with the entire US internet industry, which they have just entirely thrown under the bus with regards to their foreign customers (which, it is worth pointing out, outnumber their US customers by a sizable multiple).
Yes, I agree that it sounds great. But, it does not mean that you really have to use this property. It was not necessary for the task, this is the point..

Well, in general, modular code should not make assumptions about other parts of the program (when possible).

You know, if the function is idempotent by definiiton, it does not mean that its implementation is. Unicode is changing too, new symbols are added.
They having nothing to do with each other.
DRY tells us the code for looking up a user id by user
name should be written in only one place, not that the
code should be called from only one place.

If you write 'canonicalize(username)' in eight different places, you are not being DRY. If you need to write 'canonicalize(username)' in eight different places, your code probably doesn't separate responsibilities properly across separate modules.

As such, they have a lot to do with each other. After all, if you call code from more than one place, you are writing the calling code in more than one place. Lack of DRYness is about the fact that you are doing so. Lack af modularity is about why you need to do so.

He's not looking for a free lunch -- he's looking for specific market ideas.

Also, while I sort of agree about the "no such thing as passive income" point, I think he just means 1-2 hours a week level passive.
It does not at the moment. And not from the want of trying! Unfortunately the App Store sandbox does not yet allow you to detect the media keys being pressed. The old way of doing it uses a very low-level function that is not available for security reasons (its essentially a key logger) within the sandbox..

Its common problem across all App Store apps, for now. Drives me crazy as well!
This is near universal in all of the financial world except for some legacy systems
I asked this question of the radium devs. I was told that its an App Store limitation. Apple will not approve third party apps that use the media keys.

If you have 1 - 2 hours per day and you're willing to learn anything, learn to write and build an audience.

An audience is a more valuable asset than a product. Once you have an audience you can launch anything you want.
I was at a talk Monty gave last year in Oxford, UK. He was perfectly happy with the deal with Sun as he trusted them with the project. He's less keen on Oracle, however.
> why not use a technology like this

Because it is highly inefficient, requires a large infrastructure, is susceptible to air pollution, and has low power density?

Versus battery electrics have infrastructure at every home, are upwards of 93% efficient, don't use air, and have plenty of power.
Surprise HN: Google Drive can't re-sync your files
I just had to refresh my Windows 8 machine. When I re-installed Google Drive, it turned out I couldn't simply point it to the existing Google Drive folder. I think my only two options are: 1) redownload 5GB worth of data even though I already have all of it on my PC, or 2) trick it by pointing it to another folder, then moving the files there and hoping that works. Will update if it works.
Not only not approve, it physically won't work. The sandbox enforced partially at a kernel level will prevent the necessary low-level functions from working.
I wonder what this will mean for free drivers.

While nVidia hasn't been entirely uncooperative (they do participate in X.org upstream development to the degree that it affects their products), the only free driver they've written for the line of GPUs the to-be-licensed Kepler core is part of is an obfuscated, 2D-only token effort, and they have stayed away from participating in the Nouveau project to write a fully-featured free driver. Contrast that with Intel and AMD, where the free driver is the primary effort or one supported with documentation, code and manpower, respectively.

On the other hand, they've contracted Avionic Design to write a free 3D-enabled driver for the GPUs in their Tegra 3 SoCs. If future Tegra is based on a Kepler derivative (as indicated by the blog), and this prior commitment forces them to release a free driver for it as well, I wonder if one day this hypothetical free driver might have a shot at replacing their closed source codebase. Or they could join forces with Nouveau and finally put some of their resources behind it, similar to what AMD has done.
From my point of view and understanding, for is not good for this. Isn't it blocking? Say you have

for
a <- forA
b <- forB
c <- forC(a)

it does not do a and b in parallel and then c, or does it?

Does this mean that NVidia is moving towards being an ARM instead of an Apple?
Texting-Enabled Raspberry-Pi-Powered Espresso Machine
I think this could be big especially in the mobile space. I can imagine that smaller ARM manufactures/designers will use this over PowerVR or there own graphics implantation. In desktop space I don't see any one willing to do that, maybe IBM for a super computer. But while this is exiting I think it also shows that they don't see a very bright future for them self. I guess with there less then hard selling ARM proc and the increasingly better graphics chips from intel the need for nvdia as a h/w manufacture is declining fast
Right now, we don't do that. Its just a simple MP3 file that lasts for as long as you are recording a station. The problem with parsing the song title is that firstly, not all stations support it, and secondly, a lot of stations will push the station name into the stream at periodic intervals. It would make cutting up a continuous stream into accurate individual songs quiet troublesome.

But for some well behaved stations, its doable, if people wanted it enough.
Here is a problem that I would pay a subscription for a great solution to: Cron as a service.

Sometimes when you set up a simple codestack on Heroku or Parse or similar, it would be great to be able to specify a web hook that should be called repeatedly just to run maintenance code, summarize scores, clean up logs etc. If you have root access you can set up cron but this is not always the case, and I think it would be possible to build a SaaS that people feel is easier to use and more flexible than cron. I would easily pay a few dollars a month for a simple reliable cron service. Reliability is key, your service needs to never ever fail.
Kotlin looks(ed) promising. When I tried Kotlin some time ago they mixed plans, wishes and facts in the "documentation" which made it very hard to do some work, as many "features" in "examples" had not been implemented (And I thought to myself how stupid could I be to not get the examples working)
A Developer Tool Launched to Help Java For Data Computing
Data analysis and query are essential for data computing. Report data source preparation and data management & ETL also involve data computing. Although SQL, R, Java, C language and other current solutions have powerful computing ability, coding for complex computing is rather cumbersome. Even R language is agile, but it’s too difficult to understand for nontechnical people. In order to enable convenient complex computing, esProc Dev comes in users’ sight.
If I had to guess, I'd say they provide an IP to the customer. Depending on the size and budget of the customer, they offer a premade IP, or semi-custom IP.
The way I read a lot of that apparent dismissal of feminism was as a way to get her community to see her complaint as legit. That is, by saying "I'm not one of those feminists, the ones that get upset at every little grope," she's trying to underline that she has a serious incident to report and is not blowing it out of proportion.

Honestly, I think that's heartbreaking twice over. Not only is she working in a context that she perceives as hostile to her getting respect and equal treatment, but she apparently feels that she has to bad-mouth those pursuing equality just to have a hope of getting people to accept her assault report at face value. And all that comes on top of getting assaulted and robbed and almost raped. That is hideous.

From what I understand, the infosec community has been in an uproar lately about somebody objecting to some sort of sexual content in a conference talk. So perhaps she feels she's speaking in a context where she really has create a lot of distance between herself and the people on the losing end of that uproar.

Like you, I really admire her for speaking out like this. After my mom died a couple years back, I learned from her sisters that she had been raped as a teen, and had insisted on pressing charges and testifying in court, despite social pressure to just let it go. I was immensely proud of her. I still am.
Genetic Algorithm for Knapsack Problem
Having spent some time in Vietnam, and spoken with residents (expats and natives), I would not invest my money there. Or most SEA countries. Too many tales of foreigners getting screwed with little to no recourse.

I was sitting in the airport waiting for a flight today for two hours and heard NSA discussed on the news channel at least once an hour. this was on whatever local news channel for seattle they had in seatac, so, maybe you just have tuned out friends...
So... They want to get out of the business of actually making things and just sell IP cores now?
I guess I don't really understand "national security is compelling". National security, like basically everything else, is a matter of degree. There are presumably compelling and uncompelling national security risks. If the court is weighing some amount of speech restriction against some amount of national security risk, presumably the size of the risk matters?

What are the governments burdens here? Can they merely assert there's a security issue here or do they have to prove it? Does it have to pass some kind of severity test in order to restrict speech? I'm genuinely curious what the case law says on this stuff.
I think it will be hard to build much of note in 1-2 hour chunks. Better to spend 16 hours every other weekend, in 2 eight-hour blocks.
Because they wanted "BigBird" to be the same as "bigbird" or "BIGBIRD". Hence if you wanted to rely on a userId, you would still need to ensure all the variations of BiGbirD map to the same userId.

We wrote our RF radio mesh coordinator software in Haskell, and it's been a great success. Working with binary data formats (various building control protocols) in Haskell is the kind of thing that spoils you forever.

The one issue I've run into is that ghc can't cross compile. If you want to run your code on ARM, you have to compile an ARM version of ghc (QEMU comes in handy here).
They've never really been in the business of "making things" as end-users would see it. They've designed chips and reference PCBs, but they contract outside foundries for manufacturing (unlike, say, Intel, who have their own fabs) and the silicon goes to retail partners like ASUS and Gainward and many others to actually put into the channel (with minor downstream customization like custom heatsink designs). They've only recently actually sold some things directly to customers, like the SHIELD gaming handheld.
That's a shame. Perhaps someone needs to build a small library that exists outside of the App Store that notifies App Store apps when those keys are pressed. :P

This reason alone is what keeps me using VLC for radio playlists.
Erato - simple and beautiful markdown editor
Yeah, all good points. I don't think this should stop tesla trying, or rather, it would be a shame if they were prevented from trying.

i believe it is a matter of restructuring both risks and incentives to make the downstream match the upstream, as you say.. for example, with the saas approach, for say 5k a year, your 5k profit over 5 years per user (add 5k for R&D and 5k for a facelift) turns into 20k profit over 10 years.. and the user gets a guaranteed service - the user and manuf. interests align..

The bigger issue I think, in terms of turning around the current approach, is actually a cultural one in which a car is a personal 'fetish' object rather than the cumulative efforts of a supply chain bundled into a personal transport service.

Pascal is one of the most enthralling lecturers I've ever been... well, lectured by. He's incredibly enthusiastic. I think it comes across in his videos, no? ;)
Scala = scalable language. This is for all the reasons you said. Because the language allows so much, library designers can really extend the language itself and create whole new paradigms or do other powerful things you just can't do in any other language that's this stable and portable.
Do Discussion Boards Need An Update? Helsinki's Iroquote Thinks So
Google and NASA Launch Quantum Computing AI Lab
IOS 7: renovation or innovation?
This is just in addition to their current business of selling chips and cards as far as I can tell.

I don't think anyone will want to produce exactly an nVidia chip, most likely the idea is that other vendors would want to integrate an nVidia GPU core on their mobile SoC (Kepler as an architecture is supposed to scale from mobile to cluster computing sizes) - perhaps Qualcomm or Apple, or hell, maybe even AMD now that they're starting to put out ARM chips. Heck, it'd be pretty interesting if Intel put integrated Geforce cores on their next gen CPUs, at least as an option. Although most likely neither AMD nor Intel would bother since they've got their own fairly strong mobile GPU architectures now and figuring out how to integrate an nVidia core would probably be more work for dubious gain.
It depends. Let's imagine forA, and forB are expressions that evaluate to futures of Ints. This runs them in serial:

for {
a <- forA
b <- forB
} yield a + b

This runs them in parallel:

val fa: Future[Int] = forA
val fb: Future[Int] = forB

for {
a <- fa
b <- fb
} yield a + b

(I dropped forC from your example as it has a dependency on the result for forA, and thus can't run in parallel.)
It will be interesting to see if anyone will use their GPU's for a product that directly competes with the SHIELD.
I've also been thinking of the exact same thing myself, something which will generate enough profit to pay off bills, buy something nice and invest a little in growing the idea.

Recently I've been working on https://www.emlipo.com which was scrutinized by HN for essentially being "little code nobody would pay for". So I've not really wanted to work on that now.

Still, there will be something out there I'm sure.

By the way, the demo is currently offline. I'm currently at work, but shall try to get it back on.
Alternative option for DB is to not remember each feature tour completion, but rather have feature tour table and store last feature tour completion and just show the ones since then?

No DRM Summer Sale
Have a look at Discourse from the Coding Horror guy. That's certainly a new take on discussion boards.
There are several replies that start with "find a problem". How do you find problems small enough for a single developer to tackle but not trivial enough for having people willing to pay for a solution?
My Replacement of Google Reader's Play feature
If they had to request anything from Google or FB, they wouldn't need such huge storage capacities. My guess is that these large companies have been forced to forward data (e-mail, chat lines, posts...) to the NSA as it arrives. It's not "direct access", it facilitates all the searches the NSA could wish for on NSA's own servers and does not contradict any of Google's, FB's or the NSA's claims so far from what I can tell (they store the data, then "collect" it as needed).
Keen IO - The API for Custom Analytics
I'd say SHIELD is pretty much a PR effort to incite others to do exactly that - it creates buzz around the virtues of nVidia's mobile tech for gaming, and so could make licensing nVidia GPU IP an attractive selling point. I don't think nVidia expects SHIELD to be a high-volume seller on its own, it's pretty niche form factor-wise.

This is also why you have a bunch of graphically intense games on the Play store which are Tegra-exclusives, from developers who cut a deal with nVidia. For example Arma Tactics.
I don't think it's hard to know the line where further advances become unwelcome. I ask. It's surprisingly easy; you should try it.

Cut your spending so you have a few hundred extra per month. Invest it in SPY (an index stock for the S&P 500). Over time, you'll build up passive income.

One reasonable way to cut spending is to sell your car if you have financed it, and buy a car you can afford to pay cash for. Financing is a huge drain on your cash.
Yeah, seeing as before they had the option to log into anyones account, affectivly the same as a lifetime membership.
Ahh damn, that was going to be what my fork of your project was going to do.

It is still always true, legally, it just never made it to the supreme court in most contexts.

SCOTUS held it could be used for purposes of impeachment in Jenkins.
Most courts had held it could be used for all purposes, though there were some divisions, which were just resolved by the supreme court.

So the view presented here, which seems to be "they just took away a right from me", is false.
This is the right strategy for Nvidia, especially in the mobile space, considering they'll also be the only ones with the full OpenGL 4.3 support, which means that if Kepler GPU's are popular, developers will be making some pretty amazing mobile games that will only be available on Kepler GPU's because they'll be the only ones to have OpenGL 4.3 for years to come.

I only wish this was Maxwell coming out next year, not Kepler, which was supposed to be in Tegra 4, but you know Nvidia and their delays...I also hope they don't screw this up by making the GPU very inefficient. If they do that, no one will want it, so this strategy will be irrelevant. They say it's very efficient, but over the years I've become a lot more skeptical about stuff Nvidia claims, at least in the mobile space.

If they can convince Samsung to use Kepler for Exynos 6, or Maxwell for Exynos 7, that would be a huge win for them. Samsung has been a little lost lately in terms of what GPU's to use in Exynos SoC's, so this may be Nvidia's window of opportunity, if they can prove their GPU is the best.
Buy & hold is about as passive as it gets.
I wouldn't be so sure if that was the easy solution, as it depends on the cooperation of those companies.
They at least have the choice to resist in some way or another.
They also could be using both solutions simulatneously.

From their perspective, why not?

A lot of the communication won't be encrypted anyways, and some of it will be, but they may be able to decrypt it at some point in the future.
Once we've identified them, we should build a giant solar-powered ultraviolet laser system for vaporizing them. We could power it from the shadow squares.
