Currently hacking away on the food industry:

It's common practice for a distributor to handle stocking of product in some/many locations, it's referred to as 'merchandising' in the industry, it's often limited to speciality products. Given the comment I think the interesting thing is that either Goya is doing their own distribution or has subcontracted that out or has a special distributor relationship in some way. It's relatively uncommon for products which are in the supermarket 'core' (true for Goya at least of my local stores) to get this treatment, so that seems to say something about Goya.

This is also very common in the alcohol industry, e.g. the huge Bud Light displays you'll see in stores are usually setup by distributors, not the store owner.
Did you do any product testing with the calendar with family/friends? Iterative design exists in physical products as well and I was surprised that you didn't mention any kind of testing/feedback before the actual sales.

I guess your first run of 250 could count as the product testing, though.

Suggestion: What about putting holiday names in block capitals on the line in a very light grey? Then you can see the holiday name clearly, but you can also write over it without feeling guilty or the print being too distracting. The small black print looks like it takes up enough of the line to be annoying.

Edit: There are a lot of distracting spelling mistakes in the blog entry that would make me slightly hesitant about ordering a printed product.
It'd be a lot better to teach deductive reasoning by providing people with a list of facts and asking them to draw a conclusion.
I'm going to have to do something like that I think. It's the only phone I've ever needed to get a case for.
VAX? PDP.
I suppose that's true in a tacky arithmetic way. Shit keyboards are basically free. They also ruin your hands. So you have to prioritize a little. Having used the same Kinesis for six years I don't have a lot of sympathy for not being willing to shell out <$50/year for the most important part of the computer. In a discussion about someone trying to sell me a $150 dollar version of the free shit keyboard it seems even more disingenuous.
Interesting point for a gazillion $ company:

"Fab is NOT automated, everything is done manually by emailing people back and forth a LOT. (At least when I worked with them). Everything is done through numerous people. There’s a person in charge of buying, editing your listing, shipping, accounting, UPS account setup, packing slips, payouts, etc… And they will all send you emails with forms, and excel spreadsheets, and instructions. It can get complicated on your first time through."
Will it continue development? I'd hate to write a whole suite of software in a new language that no one else will use because the language goes obsolete.

My sense is that this is a labor of love as well as necessity, and the folks behind Julia are in it for the long-haul. This is also not their first rodeo: several core folks were involved with StarP from Interactive Super Computing.

The highly-active community is probably (at very least) 60-strong and growing quickly (based on 10+ core commits, or active package contributions). Many more people who have made contributions or pinged the list keep coming back intermittently, and I think it is safe to assume that semi-active/patiently-awaiting-something users number in the low hundreds (based on thousands of downloads).

What's with this weird confusion with tuples and arrays? It seems like there's some situations where these things have overlapping purposes.

Tuples have been sort of ugly stepchildren, but there is a pending pull request to be merged after 0.2 release which will give tuples a massive upgrade (performance boosts and use as SIMD vectors, among other things).
> These desks are the norm in every office here in Denmark and I am always baffled that it is some kind of esoteric thing worthy of debate in America.

No company I've worked in within the U.S. has had a standing desk or even an adjustable-height desk that I can remember. It's a rare sighting for most.

In the U.S. cubicles are the norm, and their desk height isn't usually adjustable.

As for ergonomics, in the past few years I was working for a large institution owned by an even larger company that was all well-funded, and even their ergonomic team (yes, they had one) was completely inadequate. When I asked if they would assist me with recommendations for simple monitor and macbook stands, they stuttered and then suggested outlandishly expensive equipment ($3000 USD) just for a monitor stand! That would never be paid for as part of our team budget. So, when I told them this, they just said, "Then try Amazon." They never came by to measure me or ask me any relevant questions to help. It was a total farce. I ended up using books to lift my monitor and laptop to the correct position.

So basically, yes it seems esoteric here and products are pushed that are too damn expensive. I'm glad that you and your crew have nice desks. Thanks for the link and pic.

Scissor switches can be quite comfortable, and the macbook air has quite nice switches (IMO I like the thinkpad x1 carbon's a little better, but it is close), and the location of the trackpad being under the keys is much more comfortable than having a physical mouse to the left or right.

For my desktop I have a kinesis advantage, but I often find using my thinkpad for long periods of time to be very comfortable, I just wish I could find a decent trackpad for my desktop(s).
There's a package that can accelerate all the iOS animations if you've jailbroken your phone. It's quite a nicer experience and for me another reminder of why it's important to have a libre phone in the future.
> How do hierarchical tables compare to Postgres' hstore?

If I am reading them correctly, it's a storage strategy, not a specific "feature" per se. The closest analogy to hstore is that they provide native support for storing and querying protobuf blobs.

> I think recursive structures like lists and trees are one weakness of the relational model, and haven't found a fully satisfying relational answer to the limitations.

It depends on why you're using trees or graphs.

If it's inherent in the data, then modern SQL has recursive queries that make it much easier than the old methods.

If it's inherent in the model, you will find it harder. You might need to pick a non-standard approach, such as PostgreSQL's inherited tables. I'd think long and hard before saying it's inherent in the model, by the way. Strictly speaking you can represent the same thing as sets of relations or as a graph; it's better to utilise the strengths of the tool in front of you.
A number of brands do this. Blue Bell is famous for it in Texas.

Look at your hands. Look at a flat keyboard. Look at a Kinesis. Is this evidence? No, but fortunately you are allowed to use your brain on this exam.
I don't know if I agree with that, after looking at the sample questions.

These are different types of questions that require you to think more than the tests that I took in 5th to 8th grade. IMO, the biggest issue here is that its a hard test. Tests have been very easy for the last couple of decades.

When I was in high school in the 90s, our teachers in 10th grade gave us a 1969 nys regents exam for math 2 and earth science as a practice exercise. They were an order of magnitude more difficult that the actual exams given in 1994/1995.

The biggest problem here is that they are making everyone take the tests. Back in ye olden days, the college prep kids took the hard stuff only. You're not going to get a lot of good results in tests that require abstract thinking in poor districts -- the parents are idiots and let the kids stay out too late, don't enforce homework rules, etc.
+1 to Willi there, moon colonies are not currently "doable". They will be once we have on-orbit re-fueling. That is because you have to have some way of transporting things you cannot get or make on the moon, too the moon.

The Apollo program, as impressive as it was, was never expected to be extendable to a colony effort. Rather first a space station was to be put in orbit, then on-orbit refueling, then space 'tugs', and then you could send up things that could land on the moon and ship additional building materials there.

That said, I found the hovercraft idea interesting since the benefit of hovercraft are completely negated by the inability to push against the surface for turning force and thus to re-capture forward energy into turning energy. This is a huge problem with lighter than air airships as well. Asimov should have known that.
Go has a GC so still not sure that would help. You'd have to benchmark it though, it might not matter.

A few addendums, from someone who spends too much time and money on longboards built for going fast. You generally only encounter the issue of the board stopping suddenly on small debris (referred to by street skaters as 'chalking') when you are traveling close to walking speed on small wheels. I personally skate around 3x walking speed, and these boosted boards would make that even higher.

Secondly, speed wobbles are caused by riders primarily, with gear only impacting it slightly. Put a new rider on a fantastic downhill setup, and they'll probably get speed wobbles, whereas experienced riders can have no trouble riding short, turny board at highspeed. (Look up Maryhill for more info, it's a race where slalom boards are commonly used).
Pretty sure that's just a different book by the same author. "Updating" a book on graphics to make it about music instead doesn't sound like a second edition kind of maneuver.

Over 5 years, a $1000 desk is about $0.55/day. It's strange to me how many people think it's outrageous for such a critical tool to cost that much.

I suspect they're thinking about how a $100 desk is 1/10 that price, whether it's amortized over 5 years or not.

I was worried about this in the first seed, but they've gotten much faster -- no longer bothers me and I quite like the transitions. I've been living with iOS 7 on my phone for a while now, and have less critical feelings than Marco. Granted it's subjective, but overall it's been solid for me and whenever I interact with an iOS 6 device, the older OS feels ancient.
This is why it is important to keep your weight closer to the tail and never stand directly over the trucks at high speeds. This will help to be less rigid as the wheels pass over the debria.
Sway the public against undirected mass domestic surveillance, maybe. Conveniently, all the NSA's targets would then be foreign and subject to almost no review. So you have to worry both about the NSA and any local agencies.

The reality, if you are worried about US/UK/FR/DE/RU/CN intelligence, don't use the cloud.
I've never understood the appeal of wireless keyboards. They don't move, so once the wire is placed it just doesn't matter.
I briefly owned a das keyboard: loved the touch response of it, but the wacky USB hubs they had built into it caused me no end of trouble on some more niche operating systems due to some non-standard implementation choices.

Also, I hated the high-gloss easily marred plastic on it.

I returned it shortly after purchase and said "never again".

We have at least one fusion plant I know of, the UK Joint Torus, which I know have been operating for decades.

It operated ("actually sustained fusion") for a total of four seconds, in 1997. Most of the work involves non-fusion plasmas.

can anyone confirm this is still the case with this new keyboard (keycap height thingy)?
Sure, sorry.

So you're right that the two antennas being the same doesn't really matter. What I meant was that if the two antennas are the same, the entire part of the Friis equation that deals with frequency dependence goes away (the lambda / (4piR) part). If the antennas are different, the frequency dependence still goes away, but there's some new scale factor.

There are two interesting things that you want to know about your antenna. The gain, which measures directivity, and the effective area, which roughly corresponds to the cross section of sky that the antenna can listen to. Going from the transmitter to the receiver, you have some transmit power going into the antenna. You now want to figure out what the power density is in the vicinity of the receiver. You get this by spreading the power over a sphere and multiplying by the antenna gain of the transmitter.

Now you need to know how much of that power density is seen by the receiver. This is slightly more complicated than the transmit case, because you now have to take into account the antenna gain of the receiver (i.e. where it's pointing), which the Friis equation considers, as well as how big a chunk of sky it's listening to (i.e. effective area), which the Friis equation does not consider.

It turns out that the effective area is a function of lambda^2 (an antenna of some size and ideal frequency will have an easier time collecting higher frequency signals, and a harder time collecting lower frequency signals). So the lambda^2 from the effective area cancels the 1/(lambda^2) from the Friis equation.
it's a JIT, so it's progressive compilation in some sense. BUT i certainly noticed that it seemed slower than python when starting a program. not java slow, but not instant.

Haha. When I was in China, one of my American friends there freaked out because he couldn't find a bottle of ranch dressing anywhere. Of all things, ranch dressing. He apparently liked to dip everything he ate in it back home.

About a week before I left, they opened up the first Subway restaurant in the city. I went on the first day it was open, and there was a line of white people coming out the door. I used to take Subway (and cold cuts and sandwiches in general) completely for granted, but a year in China will make it sound pretty damn good.

I did the standing desk for a few months and then added a treadmill and that went for another few months and then jerry-rigged by own seating on top. When I want to use the treadmill , I just move my saddle stool forward under the desk and when I am tired or need to focus switch to my saddle seating. It cost me about 200$ all told for the desk, treadmill and the saddle bar stool (craigslist + amazon). Image: http://imgur.com/xq3KkFa
Where can I see pictures of the phone(s) you're talking about?
I think Julia is the largest application of itself at the moment - the majority of functionality is written in the language itself. The time-to-repl is 2-4s depending on your os and setup. Taking package loading time in to account, it can be an issue, but there is a plan (and code) to address this soon.
And it will keep your phone fresh!

Things have definitely improved a lot since I lived here the first time in 2002 (decent hamburgers, good Indian food, even at the same place!)...but we still can't get some very basic things.

The wikipedia page doesn't seem to have any information about "record amounts of energy produced" at NIF. The closest thing I've found is a press release[1] that mentions "highest [neutron] yield achieved so far from a layered DT implosion". Neutron production should be proportional to the number of fusion events (and thus also the energy released). But, its odd that they don't claim this specifically.

I appreciate your concerns about responsive design, namely the logistical and performance-related issues of creating a separate user experience for mobile devices.

I'd like to add that responsive design doesn't have to be an annoying exercise in which developers try to flatten a full-featured site into one column. On the contrary, they can begin by developing a site that works well for mobile, then expand it into a Desktop version.

Designing the mobile experience first can be conceptually useful because it helps developers zero in on the features that are most essential. I did this recently while creating a mobile browser-based geocaching app. I would have liked to have created a single version for mobile and Desktop. Device resolutions are improving, as you said, but I knew that my prospective users had iPhones and Androids with relatively small screens.

Developing a minimalistic version of my Web app in the beginning helped me to focus and hone in on the most important features. This approach may not work in all cases, but I think it's a useful aspect (maybe a side effect) of responsive design.

I screamed after seeing this headline in hacker news!

I knew my colleague is looking for a mobile as he lost his one last weekend. He wants a mid range one as he keeps losing/breaking his mobile! I told him about this one but he had already ordered one yesterday. Well, he cancelled his order and has now placed the order for Nexus 4!

Nevermind though; I'm going to wait for a few reviews of this to be posted. (Someone please post a review if you get one!)

I generally agree with what your saying, but...

As I said QE is about creating money in the short term. However, there are vary good reasons why the FED buys bonds vs say Gold. A major goal is to reduce the interest rate on long term loans. But, this means that the asset they acquire is generally worth more nominal dollars in the future. So when sold or simply paid back the money supply shrinks.

That's not to say the FED can't purchase more assets to make up for the lost money. But, the temperary nature of QE is seen as a benifit that helps avoid inflation.

Sorry to be cynical and bring politics into this, but I hope that U.S. liberals respond the way they did to Bush to Obama with this strike.

Comedians, the media, etc. accused Bush of an adjust war for someone that used a chemical attack on his own people because there were no found WMD's even though there was evidence of a chemical attack.

Now we are going in again to try to save things. Will Obama come out as a hero? Probably. Should he? Well if he should, Bush needs to get some slack finally.

Don't get me wrong- I think we should do something. But when I hear we are going to do another 3 day bombing run, it's just like Iraq all over again, except this time it's who the Democrats want to bomb. Isn't there an answer that doesn't involve bombing? What are we, Germany in WWII?
