* The MOQ is 100k (well spotted on the 10k mistake, thanks!)
* I put most of my life savings into this project and I could of raised more but that would have meant losing more control
* UK kickstarters tend not to raise huge amounts so yes, we went in low.

Yea we want to build some hype, obviously we want as much attention as possible, we have 0 marketing budget left. I honestly don't see a better way to do this when you are all out of marketing budget and don't want to sacrifice more control?

Listen, I'm really just fucking tired of people slagging Detroit. The people that are doing it always seem to fit the profile of this guy here, "I used to live there...I have relatives there...I visited there once..." -- quite frankly, fuck all y'all. We're doing fine in Detroit, we're making it better...slowly but surely.
While I agree that it's documented well enough that once you hit the situation and read the doc you should be able to figure out why without diving into the C, I think the documentation still fails in the sense that it doesn't give you any guidance as to why or when you would choose which one.

That said, I really don't consider this magic as another subthread suggests. include? just has an optimization for numeric ranges, but otherwise behaves exactly as Enumerable#include? should.

Side point, but I'd be careful about assuming historical children's clothing implies more gender-neutrality. It aligned with a different conception of gender and childhood, but still a very particular idea of gender roles.

To admittedly simplify something that varied by time/place and was fairly complex, here's one take: all children wore "feminine" clothing at a young age, and were primarily cared for by women (mother or, for wealthier families, female nannies). Boys started wearing more "masculine" elements of clothing as they grew older, eventually "graduating" to trousers (sometimes via an intermediate period of shorts), which often coincided with social movement to the company of the male side of the household and the boy being considered a "young man". There are still some pretty strong normative gender roles there, with "feminine" clothing still associated with non-manliness, just organized along a somewhat different pattern and timeline.

TL;DR (From what I understood): Banks work around regulations to artificially increase the time they are allowed to store metal for - essentially shipping it to each other, back and forth, for a very long time. As they charge for storage, this increases the price of the metal for all manufacturers who use it, who then pass it on to consumers.

Well, sufficiently advanced technology, wasn't it?
I did not read too far into the article, but I read far enough to gather that this is one instance of something I've been reading about elsewhere. Even the specific commodity, aluminium, sounds familiar.

Goldman is one of the largest -- and therefore, most effective -- players, but basically Goldman and its ilk have been using their financial (and legal) clout to essentially corner commodity markets. They are creating effective monopolies for themselves -- or sufficient control to significantly influence availability and therefore pricing.

In this particular instance, as far as I read, they are using their control of aluminium stocks and warehousing to jack up the prices they receive. This may abut regulatory and other concerns, resulting in a "shuffling exercise" to place their price increases within boundaries and definition of an established market mechanism and regulation.

Still in the process of being converted from a public resource to a private commodity -- in the U.S. and some other countries, at least -- but another one to keep an eye on is water, including potable water. There are companies working to privatize supplies, with an eye to charging you whatever the market will bear. And if and when they control said market? And given that most communities are single sourced for local, bulk delivery?
I think your best bet is to keep pursuing the "building things" strategy, but when you get stuck on something, look for exercises or deep reading in that particular area. For example, awhile ago I got stuck on geocoding and geosearch and so went in search of tutorials and resources about that particular thing. I then took that information and went back to building my app.

I think it's a much better use of your time than doing general intermediate exercises without specifying a particular area in which to learn. At the intermediate level, your options expand so much that no procedural resource can both cover what troubles you specifically and also challenge you consistently.
You don't really need to. A single lying 'autism researcher', a 'lead with the scary' media, and a stupid, gullible public has led to a resurgence of cured diseases like Measles.

> my general conclusion from using Rails is that it frequently makes it overly complicated to do things differently than how the framework wants you to

I can't agree with this at all.

Rails has default and reasonably sensible idioms for expressing common concepts. They work in most cases, but there are of course situations where you want to implement something in a way that results in an impedance mismatch with the framework.

In these cases, it's embarrassingly easy to compose different behaviours, or indeed to write entirely custom ones, in order to achieve the functionality you require. At the end of the day, it's Ruby with some helper libraries, and developers are free to use as much or as little of these as is required.

If there's a problem in this vein with Rails, it's that the magic makes it almost too tempting to twist apps into the "Rails way", even when it's not appropriate. Good developers will be aware of this, and use the correct approach.

"We don't know what the alternative might have been"

I can make a guess: if Microsoft had refused to give people want they wanted, somebody else would have. After all, Windows more or less started out as a "copy the Macintosh, but keep backwards compatibility" exercise. IBM could build that, too (and did, with OS/2, which was even more closed than Windows) and chances were that Digital Research [edit: make that Novell; they bought DR in 1991] could have, too. What could Microsoft have done about that? Stubbornly selling something that users do not want would, IMO, just have led to a different winner.

I also fail to see why you would ever expect the average computer user today to be as knowledgeable of computers as that of 20 years ago. The demographics of 'computer user' have changed enormously over that time period.

Similar things have happened everywhere. We have people washing clothes who could not build a washing machine, people doing a bank teller's job with the help of an ATM who know nothing of double entry bookkeeping, people driving cars who don't even know what engine knocking is, people heating their home who don't even know how to make a fire _with_ a match, etc.

And yes, I think people who don't really know how their system boots or how a file system works miss out on a lot, but then, I don't really understand the underlying physics either.
I fail to comprehend this kind of fetish
True, as someone who's done a bit of hiring, if you're meeting someone, you're still considering them as possible - you don't waste your time many times before getting pickier. Two years isn't a hard and fast rule - it never will be - you meet a brilliant candidate with 23 months and you won't hire them? Of course not. It's just a proxy. We want someone with about the skills that you should have acquired in two years.

We've all met people who have those skills with much less experience - and we'd hire them. Yes it's an excuse in a way to say then that this is why you weren't hired. Not a lie as such though - just the "reason".

The VatTP protocol is meant to guarantee 'just enough' ordering as at http://www.erights.org/elib/concurrency/partial-order.html -- there was a talk about VatTP, with slides, but I haven't seen a proper write-up and never learned it.

I think http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/~tpkelly/Ken/ is the most active descendant (and V8Ken linked from there which they intend to hook up with node.js). Daira Hopwood's new language Noether sounds promising: https://thestrangeloop.com/sessions/noether-a-concurrent-sec...

About Erlang, besides capabilities and mutable data I think the biggest difference comes from blocking receive. This gives it more of a CSP flavor. My own experience is limited -- my exposure to Erlang was mostly helping other hackers. (I also made an Erlang-influenced Scheme dialect I was unsatisfied with for boring reasons, but it was kind of in between: immutable data, channels as capabilities, synchronous messages.)
I'm a materials scientist, but this isn't my background, so I'm just taking a stab:

These materials have a lot of potential for several reasons: high surface area (many reactions and processes are often rate-limited by surface exposure), surface activity (not sure about metal carbonates, but some metal oxides for example have a photocatalytic effect, where exposing a surface to light can break down compounds adsorbed on the surface), and very fine (and potentially controllable) pore size (with the potential to filter out things on a molecular level -- so it could potentially be tailored for like isolating co2 from a gas stream, water purification, heavy metal uptake).

Just a few guesses.

And of course, since the research came out of a cold country, think of all the applications for hockey rinks! Love that.
Where does speech end and "aiding and abetting" begin?

Another way to think about it this: you have some property that has now become a haven of illegal activity (through no participation of your own) that is disrupting the local community. IANAL, but in such a case I'm guessing you could be compelled by the law to clean your property up. Even if the law has no way to compel, shouldn't there be?
Not gonna lie, I would buy that in a heartbeat.
It's interesting that some of the designs look very contemporary but only use CSS 1 and 2. Suggests the change in web design is driven more by fashion (or maybe hardware) than by rendering technology.

On the subject of CSS, I've often thought it would be great if somebody made a sort of 'CSS koans.' Like each koan would be a little puzzle where you manipulate the box model etc. to get the desired physical layout.
Oh, good. (It was late and I gave up after the first page of google.)
It's not really there to demonstrate viable page designs, it's to show the flexibility that CSS allows.

Use a different browser, and "reset" it before searching.

E.g. I normally browse using Firefox. To read this article, I switched to Safari, and did "Reset Safari". Then I searched Google for the two words "autism measles" (no quotes) and the WSJ article was the first link in the News results.

The WSJ is a little trickier than some sites, in that they try a little harder to keep you from seeing the article via searching thru news if you've previously clicked on the link.

Of course if they really wanted to prevent this, they could. E.g. I haven't figured out a way to read FT articles without signing op for their "free" membership, which gives me something like 8 articles a month.

Contrast with e.g. NY Times. Just browse with NoScript on, and clear cookies between sessions, and you can click on as many stories as you want. YMMV.
I moved from NYC to Cleveland for a couple years and was shocked at the untapped potential. Just east of downtown, for example, is a warehouse area the size of several Brooklyn neighborhoods that's at least half empty and crying out to be invaded by artists. Rent can be as low as $3.50/sf/yr.

Over time I came to think that part of the problem is that Cleveland lacks the 'being a part of something bigger' you refer to.

I'll say this for Detroit - they're actually making things happen. I hope Cleveland gets some of the same mojo. There are definitely cool people in Cleveland up to good things, but there's not a movement afoot yet.
I'm confused too. If I understand correctly it's the first time that the neutrino oscillation is measured in a muon-neutrino ray. As far as I know it's a difficult task, but the result is totally expected. The "new physics" claim looks like a link-bait.

I did my master's thesis on aluminum/carbon fiber composites and typically they mean infiltrating liquid aluminum through weaves of carbon fiber.

But these materials are hard as hell to make. Carbon and aluminum do not get along for a variety of reasons, and aluminum/carbon composites remain a pie-in-the-sky concept. One of the ways they make Al/C composites now is through a process called squeeze casting, whereby they just force molten aluminum (>660C) to infiltrate a fiber preform at super high pressures. And even then IIRC their properties usually fall well short of theoretical. These are not things nature wants us to put together (at least not yet).
The design looks amazing, even though most people will probably have the device covered up with a phone cover. Also retina 2 sounds like i would need 3 versions of every image in my app which is getting to be a bit much.
Zone files is a side show. Many other DNS servers use entirely different formats, including formats that are more space efficient than what you suggest on your Github page, and some of which are not serialized to text files at all (all data stored in databases). These formats are not standardized at all.

Note that your Bind zone file example is also quite verbose compared to what it needs to be. E.g. here's a more compact version:

$ORIGIN brekyunits.com.
$TTL 3600
@ IN SOA NS53.DOMAINCONTROL.com. dns.jomax.net. (2013041502 28800 7200 604800 3600 )
@ A 107.21.225.189
@ MX 0 smtp.secureserver.net.
@ MX 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net.
@ NS NS53.DOMAINCONTROL.com.
@ NS ns54.DOMAINCONTROL.com.

In comparison to that, yours doesn't seem to provide any real benefits that I can see.

When it comes to the over the wire format, the over the wire format is designed to be much more compact, because if the request and response fits in a single UDP datagram, the request will be handled much faster - if the reply is too long, then the server might have to tell the client to retry over TCP, for example, which means two wasted packets to establish that, then about half a dozen packets or more for the request/reply over TCP. Your format would not help there.

If you want to improve DNS, read the RFC's first.

Everything about this design, from the edge to edge glass, to the Lightening + Magsafe connector is super appealing, but it's too much of a jump for Apple. Their design style is much slower and more iterative than this.

Arguably the biggest hardware leap so far was the 3gs -> 4, and that was limited to an aesthetic re-envisioning, a camera improvement, screen resolution upgrade, and processor bump.

This design showcases improvements that Apple would likely spread out over 3 generations: everything listed for their biggest leap above, plus new input mechanisms, new connector, significantly less heft, and waterproofing (!!).

Don't get me wrong -- I'd buy this in an instant, but it looks more like iPhone 8, than 6.

Agreed. Quoth he, "A Thursday afternoon in 2011, we slightly changed the synthesis parameters of the earlier employed unsuccessful attempts, and by mistake left the material in the reaction chamber over the weekend. Back at work on Monday morning we discovered that a rigid gel had formed and after drying this gel we started to get excited, says Johan Goméz de la Torre."

It is in fact slightly disturbing and somehow heartening how many discoveries are the result of mishap.

> Also retina 2 sounds like i would need 3 versions of every image in my app which is getting to be a bit much.

I don't see why; for the edges, I think it'd look fine to just stretch the border-edge pixel out to infinity. All taps/gestures on the "sides" could be reported as occurring at the edge pixels. You'd need to modify your view-controller logic (to do something with all these edge-taps), but not your view.
Well, first of all, you aren't reading the Ruby source to understand Rails' idiosyncrasies, you're reading the Ruby source to understand Ruby's idiosyncrasies applied to Rails.

Secondly, this article is far more verbose than necessary when compared to the succinct 5-paragraph explanation provided by David Flanagan in "The Ruby Programming Language" p. 69-70 [1]

It's great that you took a chance to dive into the source of Ruby. Nonetheless, it's times like these when I wish people would understand that the best way to learn a programming language is by example AND by documentation (whether official docs or books). Those that ONLY learn by example fail to understand or unlock the true power of a language until it's too late.

That Magsafe Lightning concept would never work. Not only is there not enough space to fit powerful enough magnets, not only is the Lightning connector 8-pin, but one of the only reasons MagSafe even works is that laptops are strong enough to still be in the same place if tugged slightly. Your phone will now not only be tugged along with the cord, but will then disconnect more easily and fly across the room.
