Most people have a distorted idea of how big Greenland is - it's actually about the size of Saudi Arabia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependenc...) and gets distorted by most map projections to outlandish sizes (larger than South America in some).
It seems to be compatible with Dash's DocSets, so you could use those on it.

> I know metadata is at least as sensitive as the actual content, but you need to pick your battles. If we get people to widely use GPG to encrypt the content of their emails, that is already a huge win. Why? Because they're now using a public/private key infrastructure. And as you are probably well aware, as soon as everyone involved has secure private keys, implementing all sorts of nifty crypto strategies to hide pretty much whatever you want, is just a matter of adding protocols. And that can be done pretty transparently, if only the intended users would already be using keypairs for identity management. So, IMO, even if just encrypting the content is not quite complete privacy, it's a great step on the way to getting there.

True, but key-pairs pretty much cryptographically ties a real person to an online identity, and so that makes meta-data more valuable, and makes "give us your keys or go to jail laws" more scary.
Sublime is a great product with shitty community and plugins, unfortunately. It could be so great but there is no feedback, no word from Jon regarding the communities requests.

Scroll near the bottom of this page, and you'll see types used for safety — not just performance — and there's contracts too: (http://adambard.com/blog/clojure-batteries-included/)

[Disclaimer: I have never used core.typed.]
I didn't find that comparison very useful/accurate (having used clojure heavily for a year or two and scala full-time for the past month). The main differences I find are:

When evaluating language tradeoffs the scala community values power more and the clojure community values simplicity more.

Scala wants to provide you with the most powerful language possible. Clojure wants to make it easy for you to mold your own language.

Scala language tooling works at compile-time and analyses the language statically. Clojure language tooling connects to a running environment and uses introspection. Scala has much better static checking and clojure has much better introspection. While both languages have a repl, the clojure community puts much more emphasis on live, interactive programming.

Clojures syntactic extension mechanisms are much simpler, being based on sexps. Scalas are powerful (eg can access the lexical environment) but much more heavy-weight.

Clojure has run-time eval. This makes it possible to do eg domain-specific jit (eg compiling DSLs -> clojure code -> java bytecode on the fly). Scala has a run-time interpreter which I haven't used but is reputed to be slow.

I haven't yet explored non-jvm backends for scala but I suspect that clojure will eventually dominate on that front for two reasons: 1) when clojure-in-clojure is finished porting clojure to a new platform will be far easier than scala and 2) clojure was designed from the beginning to be a parasitic language and delegates many features to the underlying platform.

Scala breaks backwards compatibility much more often than clojure. Whether this is a pro or con is up for debate. There are lots of small niggling things in clojure I would like to change but on the other hand maintaining scala code across compiler updates is a pain in the ass.

Personally, I believe that the number one problem a language needs to address is managing complexity. The clojure community largely seems to get that and is driving for simple, orthogonal language features and libraries to an extent that I've not seen in any other community (eg http://blog.getprismatic.com/blog/2012/10/1/prismatics-graph...). In addition, the most exciting research I've seen on that front (eg http://www.vpri.org/pdf/tr2011004_steps11.pdf http://boom.cs.berkeley.edu/ ) and most of my favorite tools rely on powerful introspection and runtime code generation. I think Yegge describes this better than I can - http://steve-yegge.blogspot.co.uk/2007/01/pinocchio-problem....
Yes, sometimes I think jps intentionally ignores bug reports that are not in the Technical support forum. ;) that said, ST lacks a coherent stratgey to collect and evaluate bug reports and feature requests. There's a technical support forum, but that can mean anything from "how do I do X" to "Here's a bug" to "I want the API to do this". It needs a bug report flow with clear rules, like you need to add the steps to reproduce, and a status indicator such as acknowleged, wontfix, the option to reference duplicates etc. User Echo kind of works for feature requests, but it seems to be abandonded as well. There's now a community bug tracking project, but jps has been silent on that too. I know it's not easy to handle support, but there's a lot of room for improvement here.

I think the theory here is that screens with non-square pixel layouts can't really do one pixel lines in either vertical or horizontal. Practically, I'm not sure that is a real issue with current high end phones.

You are right, but the problem is exactly that it's a developer tool, and most developers tools are $free these days, so it kinda sets the expectation of price for a developers tool. If Emacs, Vim, Eclipse, Visual Studio (Express) and many, many others IDEs and editors a free, it's pretty hard to justify paying for a developers tools. It's not that it's not worth it, it's just that the common expectation is that developers tools are free.
The quote that SandB0x posted (it comes from vagrantup.com) says that it can be used for defining "the software that needs to be installed". So is the distinction Vagrant : h/w + s/w, Salt et al : s/w?
But I can already easily capture the stream.

I think this headline (which comes from the article) is a bit misleading.

The total mass of the overlooked historical ice is about the mass of the Greenland ice sheet, but it was not all in one place like Greenland is. The article says's it's actually about a 10% error in a global historical reconstruction.

In addition, when I see the phrase "climate models", I think of the global simulations that scientists use to try to predict the future effect of climate change. This article seems to instead be about an historical reconstruction of a past climate.
that would require confirming said information was a leak.

One of the first requests for a new UI is usually the Flat design. This is usually followed by "hey, can you add a shadow or border something?" which basically turns it non-flat. The color contrast is another big problem people seem to forget.

Windows 8 feels cheap or at least still a work in progress. It sometimes actually reminds me of an early iteration of SkyOS.

Edit: One very seriously messed up design trend that's making the rounds is this habit of putting the page content inside in-page popups. The Chrome Web Store does it as does the default Blogger theme.

If I accidentally click anywhere else on the page (which is possible on a touchpad), the page is gone. Woosh. I now have to use the back button to get back too that.

There was once a video embedded on a site with this in-page popup and it had extended the page horizontally. I tried using the arrow keys to get there, but oops, now I'm on the next article.

What do you think the difference is? I mean isn't it possible that a) Bush and many in his administration believed their professed legal theory that the AUMF allowed surveillance beyond that authorized by FISA so long as it was targeted at Al Qaeda and related groups and b) the programs were so targeted and purely domestic intercepts were screened and destroyed?

There's obviously a distinction now that the programs have FISA warrants associated with them, but it's not one I can get too worked up about.
Sad thought, but I think they would soon turn into... well, lawyers.
Interesting article. One thing I've found working with tech and non-tech companies is that the tech companies generally talk more in absolutes (truths) while non-tech companies prefer to talk in assumptions (this is how it always worked).

In my opinion the biggest challenge of working with non-tech companies on a budget (time/resources/cash) is to get them to commit and consider all the consequences (ea. edge cases) during software design. They tend not to get that programming is the act of implementing a (designed) solution and not a method of solving problems.
Looks good, but I decided not to list open source alternatives that you need to self host, since most non technical users wouldn't be able to do that.

DDL is boring. DML/DQL are the power of SQL and the relational model. They are what enables ad-hoc querying that the schema designer had never considered. As soon as you do anything other than select * the composite types defined in DDL aren't as important.

I was suggesting that the immutable part of FP (which is most of it) has a lot of similarity with relational querying, which is very successful in the real world.
Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate that. The first step that I'd take if I am serious in pursuing this is to validate the idea, as some of you suggested. If the idea does not seem viable, I'd build it anyway if only to learn how to code. Again, thanks!
1) It's a needlessly dramatic hypothetical, but it was chosen by the author of the paper not read into it (or, so far as I've found, prompted) by others.

2) There's a distinction between what the President can do when Congress and the courts have not spoken on a topic, and what the President can do when they have. Is it obvious that Congress could not, in principle, forbid the use of nuclear weapons? The government needs to be able to place checks on itself and especially on any individual within it. I would argue for similar reasons that constitutional protections continue to apply in wartime - the last clause in the Third Amendment is pretty toothless otherwise.
Yeah, scrolling is easy if the entire bitmap you are scrolling exists in memory already. Then it's just a GPU thing, like the stuff in iOS 7. Scrolling is a lot harder when the content that is being scrolled to is being rendered in realtime, and when the scroll buffer is endless. Then it's not the GPU that is the problem, but the threading interaction.
That makes me an editor whore.

Emacs is old, complex and beautifully configurable. Vim is elegant and fast until you see Vimscript. Sublime is modern and great of out-of-the-box, but developed by a very smart guy that won't talk to his users on the forums).

the US Army was restricting access to the UK version of The Guardian's website

So you're saying that because it's classified information, trusted Americans (the soldiers) are going to be prevented access but the rest of the world will be able to read it freely. Yes, that makes perfect sense.
This is because the types can be derived from the ones declared, not because joins are suddenly “dynamically” typed.

Static types != manifest types.
Excellent points.

It would also be nice if my $70 license included free upgrades to future versions. There's just not enough new for me to spend $70 every year for a slightly better text editor. I'll stick with whatever version it is that I have now.

As a student of both mathematics and computer science, I was seriously considering starting my career at the NSA. (I actually interviewed at a conference once and applied to their summer program. My academic advisor even connected me with an old student of his who worked at the agency.) Now, I am really glad that I decided against pursuing that track; heading to SF next week to work in industry. (In the past year, my primary interests fell away from academia, and I was mostly interested in the federal loan-forgiveness program, since I have a lot of those.)
There's some research that shows our body "chooses" to do something before our mind tells it to.

So, swapping the body seems like it could be exciting for this kind of stuff.

I think it's fascinating that we can't keep a head alive on a machine (I wonder how much body can be removed and still, using machines, have a living brain / head?) but that we can transplant a head.

The paper isn't loading for me at the moment, but what do they mean by "spinal linkage"? If we can transplant a head why can't we fix broken back injuries? (Or can we, and I just don't know?)
I think Mike Masnick explained it pretty well why this is a pointless and stupid exercise:

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding what?

I understand that a guy in high public office may have done a few good things while there, as well as being on the side of some stuff that many people consider inherently evil and anti-democratic.

I don't care who proposed it. I don't care if it was initially someone else's idea. I don't care if it's party policy and he just got the job of putting his face and political power behind it. He still did and said all those things and to my mind should have no place in politics as a result.
Adiabatic just means that the computer is kept in the ground state the whole time. There are lots of different non-adiabatic systems. The advantage to an adiabatic system is that it's easy to avoid outside interference most of the time. But a non-adiabatic computer doesn't have to worry about such tiny energy differences, so it can go faster. That's good, because it's generally more vulnerable to decoherence and the faster you get it done the better.

Probably the most common is a trapped-ion computer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped_ion_quantum_computer But there are also photonic ones: http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/chip-does-part-o...

Edit: ooh, a new solid-state one! That looks promising http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/v8/n10/full/nphys2385.ht... and even a weird nuclear physics one http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2011/07/yellow-diamonds-...
Both.

However, in this scenario, the body would have a distinct advantage (if you can call it that), given the disparity in mass and organ distribution. The body would have far more immune system capacity than the head in this case. White blood cells, for example, are produced in the bone marrow.

I'm no doctor, but given the importance of the brain and your spinal cord to even just the nervous system, I'd imagine that death would come rather quickly in an all out rejection.
""hey, can you add a shadow or border something?" which basically turns it non-flat." - you killed me with that one. I must sadly agree.
I'm not saying it make sense.

I was serving in Afgh when the Afghan Warlog were leaked, and we were told not to read the released leaks because that would constitute a breach of our 'NDA' or whatever that document we all signed that hold us responsible for proper handling of classified documents.

"Reading" enters their definition of "handling". You can't consume classified info for which you don't have the required security clearance.
I think you mean code-word clearance. This is for strictly limited-access programs, where the number of people knowing a secret is controlled. Normally, you would have a security clearance plus need-to-know. These programs put the weight much more heavily on the need-to-know side.

i.e. You may have a top-secret clearance and know that the Derkderkistani military is buying new tanks, but you don't need to know that the source of that info was from an agent in their Ministry of Finance.

Thank you, your explanation finally made me clearly understand what these tools are for. I constantly hear about them, have read their landing pages, and even listened to a talk on Vagrant + Puppet, but still didn't understand what it is exactly that these tools do (and do differently).

Vagrant doesn't need more marketing, but it -- and the other tools -- do need to explain clearly what it does (and does not) do in a way that non-DevOps folks can understand. Perhaps the easiest way to do that is with a simple use case.
And by "automatic classification content filter" they mean "someone manually added the Guardian to a blacklist".
in the article " Immunosuppression is induced by a specific medication regimen and is monitored by the transplant physician and transplant coordinator.

Ideally, serum is drawn concurrent with obtaining tissue biopsies to facilitate correlation of histology with systemic markers of immunologic activation. Biopsies should be performed regularly for suspected rejection or infection."
