For something like that you would need a way to mark parts of text, that deal with certain subplots/plots. Like different colors for different plots, but what happens, when they intersect? Or you could use flags, or something like that.

An easy way to trace a plot throughout the novel. Interestingly, a tool, that enables this could even be used by literature students, when analyzing texts for an interpretation (been there, studied that). The only problem with this is copyright and the inability to get your hands on a digital os-/reader-independent format, to work with in the first place.

I worked mostly with texts from medieval times and it was a pain to get hold of (good) digital versions. May be, that this is because language processing approaches are not that widely used in my former field of study.

So to wrap it up - a great tool, enabling authors with this could enable also a better understanding of novels for literature students alike.

Except for the fact that round wheel vs squared is totally out of the world comparison being it something related to core functionality of an object and not something which concerns look and feel or interfaces (mouse, multitouch) or aesthetics which is what Apple mostly innovated in. So your draw, could at maximum be same two cavemans both with round wheels except second wheel is chromated, has more comfortable lock/screws system and... costs double price. Also if first caveman wheel's customers are power-cavemans (haha) they'd could invest same money on two wheels... So your draw had to be a nice refined solid wheel vs. white space where a bike stood before going riding. Which in real world terms is a 'project realized' -> multitrack song/indie game/3D animation/cpu intensive ERP made, sold and cashed.

Yes, very embarrassing for a democratic party to have internal disagreement. How dare they! If members of party are upset of how it is being run, then I think it is a good sign that they do not simply elect someone as party executive and start to agree with him/her beyond questioning. What I think is embarrassing, is doing the opposite. Electing someone internally, and then being afraid to speak up because it could damage the reputation of the party. As a matter of fact, this is the status quo I know from leading political parties in Germany. A counterexample is the Pirate Party.

Luckily it looks like A:NR is at least an order of magnitude more popular than previous LCGs so the cards should stay in print for a while - a bigger issue is that at a certain point, the need to have a 'complete' set is going to be a very expensive proposition. But I agree, the downside of not having a built-in obsolescence/reissue function is that old cards might go out of print.

On the other hand, it's just so much better to play. It actually feels like they made a big list of everything that is wrong about MTG and fixed it.
Sounds like you are in a jam. As far as I understand it, given the current syllabus, either you have to lower your hiring standards or do the work yourself. I've done both of those things in the past, and it was always a pain. Ultimately I settled for reducing the amount of TA work that had to be done. A lot of grading is probably optional, you might not be required to have a midterm and final, stuff like that. Rather than let yourself be victimized here, try to be creative with the resources that you do have, you'll figure something out.

Yes. One way to look at it is this:

If the biggest story in the history of the NSA is that some college drop-out "genius" was able to exfiltrate 20,000 docs from the NSA - and the biggest key argument they have against the guy, to prove that he were some "hacker" who was impersonating people to gain access to said files -- how is it that "NBC" is revealing this with "sources say" "an official" etc...

Don't you think that the most critical point to the credibility of the NSA is to come out and state via an official means - that they have electronic logs of this activity?

Digital forensics are binary: Either you have a digital trace of actions taken, or you do not. Period.

Either they can determine 100% that Snowden logged into station X as person Y to grab file Z -- or they do not.

THe language used in this article is textbook MISO/Psyop PR.

"Oh, an official source with knowledge of the incident has said.." -- cool, I guess they have it figured out then, huh! I shouldn't dare question that. But if I do: "We can't comment" "we cannot reveal the details of an ongoing investigation" etc...

Utter crap.

After having used Chef on a project, I've found it to be really a clueless train-wreck of a product that they got their buddies in the USA NW to use. The basis of their approach is that they have no clue what you're doing, because every one's environment is different, so they just leave it up to you how you want to do everything. Yet the whole value in such a product is enforcing good factorization, implementation and maintainability. If you let something like this lose on your Fortune 500 you're just going to have a pile of flakey, inconstant and convoluted and unmaintainable DSL crap doing all sorts of random stuff... and that's being kind to the product IMO.

That's the entire point of the periodic table - what makes it a 'periodic table' rather than 'a list of all the known (or 'found in nature') elements'. When originally conceived it included blank spots for yet un-isolated elements and some predictions about their properties could be made.

You find an element, it goes into the periodic table. Of elements.

>Also beware crappy C extensions. After much debugging I found a quad tree implementation that leaked like a sieve. From what I understand these tools will not help with that, though it is rare.

As someone who has had to find and resolve memory issues with C extensions, I would suggest using Valgrind [0]. It is not a python tool, but (after compiling Python
with to play nice with memory debuggers), it works well for debugging memory in C-extension. It basicly runs your program in a VM, where it monitors memory access and reports leaks and other potential errors (such using unitialized, unallocated or deallocated memory) along with a stack trace.

It is relatively easy to run your own contacts/calendar server. Just buy a Raspberry Pi, set up DynDNS, and hit apt-get install owncloud. This is really the way to go here.

Also, there are plenty of email providers out there that are not Google (but it is often unclear whether they are any better privacy-wise. Also, arguably, no one is providing as slick a web interface for email as Google). I am not living in the US, so it makes sense for me to choose an email provider in my own country.

Mapping is more difficult. Tomtom etc. have great navigation apps. But if you just want to look at a map, GMaps is still far superior to most OSM based map apps. Skobbler has a few great ones.
The quest for a single measure of hard-to-define concept like productivity is doomed. Even Fowler's article highlights the fact that we don't have a shared understanding what the word productivity means: writong quality code, shipping useful products or making money? all of them? It's no surprise that there is no numerical measurement that captures a badly-defined concept.

In my opinion, we should approach measurement from a different angle: can we learn something useful about our profession by combining different types of measurements. Can we, for example, easily spot a person who is doing what Fowler is calling important supportive work. Can we detect problem categories that easily lead to buggy code and allocate more time for code quality work for tasks and less for those that are known to be more straight-forward.
It's the standard corporate CYA strategy. If the hire turns out to be a bad apple, everyone will glare at HR. HR will point to the test results, and sigh "We did our due dilligence, not our fault". And noone is to blame.

Well you could use pandoc [1] for creating MS Word or other file-formats. As far as I know MS Word is still the choice to use for novelists, when it comes to giving test to editors and a like.

So pandoc could be used for transforming a text into many different formats (even ebook formats).

Might be an interessting thing to look at for the creator of "git for writers" ;-)

Don't spread wrongness if you don't know it better.
Unfortunately, and I say this from excruciating experience, this isn't a complete/accurate representation of all M:TG cards.

I spent the summer of 2011 scraping Gather to build out a product catalog and API for a start up that didn't start. I really wish that I had taken the time to put the data out as a torrent.

"Magic: The API" doesn't appear to support:

* Multi-faceted cards such as "Fire // Ice"(http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiver...)

Both return the data for the "Fire" facet, but with different artists: http://mtgapi.com/api/v1/fetch/id/27165 & http://mtgapi.com/api/v1/fetch/id/27166

* Double sided cards such as "Student of Elements" (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiver...)

Only shows data for "Tobita, Master of Winds": http://mtgapi.com/api/v1/fetch/id/78691

* Double cards such as B.F.M (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiver...)

Only shows 1/2 of the cards: http://mtgapi.com/api/v1/fetch/id/9844

* Multi-sided cards such as "Cloistered Youth // Unholy Fiend" (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiver...)

Only shows the "Unholy Fiend" data: http://mtgapi.com/api/v1/fetch/id/221212

M:TG has 20 years of strangeness to take into account when creating a data model... And Gatherer has its own issues. For example, the way symbols are represented in card text is inconsistent. (e.g. The tap symbol can be represented as both "ocT" and "{T}", and the representations for mana symbols have evolved inconsistently as well.)

Wizards of the Coast are the only ones who can build this API legally. They hold the copyright on all of the data related to M:TG and I truly wish that they would open up it up so that we, as a people, wouldn't have to spend hundreds of hours recreating the wheel. Poorly. [0]

Fortunately, I stopped what I was doing and started on a board gaming "thingy" with friends instead: http://www.shutupandsitdown.com/

Foobar -- that's a great plan, and let me assure you there is a lot of activity going on in the background.

If you want to talk about this, and you're on the Berkeley campus, I sit in Soda Hall 739. Alternatively, I hike most evenings in Tilden Park for exercise -- if you'd like to join me sometime and talk about your ideas, I'd certainly welcome hearing them.
Agreed. It's all too easy, in hindsight, to claim that a happenstance was because of some great vision of "Privacy is a relic of the past" but more often than not, serendipity wins.
There now are many interpreted as well as compiled non Objective-C languages around; from .NET languages to Object Pascal, Ruby, Java, Lua, Python, Javascript and others used to create iOS applications and they all are happily allowed in the Appstore. You are just not allowed to dynamically load 'new code' from servers and execute it on the device unless it's via the Safari Javascript engine.

Compiling to ARM and then running on the device is perfectly fine with Apple.
> This is trading imagined harm for a real harm. You trade off a loss of privacy that has zero practical implications currently for almost everyone (a few terrorist suspects might have to worry) against lost time due to inferior search result quality.

So you argue that slightly inferior search results are "real harm" and mass surveillance is "imagined harm"? I'm afraid we don't agree on the definition of the word "harm".

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear, eh?
Oculus Rift Review: (You can now) Step into The Matrix
For what it's worth, I have related projects on Github (although they haven't been updated in a while):

https://github.com/zephyrfalcon/magicripper2 (to scrape cards from Gatherer)

https://github.com/zephyrfalcon/magicquery (to query the card database)

I also made a set of files (not on Github (yet)) that indicate a card's keywords and other properties (e.g. flying, protection, split card, etc etc). I found it very hard (read: ~impossible) to extract this kind of info reliably from the card text.

If you as a designer, ignore how your system makes user feels, you're doing UX wrong. System should bring joy to user, not cause annoyance.

That post is just a rationalization.

"People feel like part of their soul by a CSS animation.. I think it’s kind of funny.", is no different than

"People feel like a part of their soul is extracted by a single eval statement... I think it's kind of funny"

Granted there are some requests that might be ignored with ease, like someone hating on something because of your opinion, but feelings of users should be appealed to.

Its slower than the raw HW, so yes, that is slow.
A couple of points:

a) "Java is not secure in the browser" -- I think that this is disingenuous. There is a lot of high-grade corporate software being written in Java for the browser without any security issues (IBM does this a lot). I don't think Java is inherently any more insecure than something like Javascript XSS or plain-old HTML injection attacks. As a matter of fact, Java tends to jump through many annoying hoops (see security policies[0]) that further remedy this problem. I'm not saying you should be using Java in web-apps, but that singling out (Java == insecure) is simply not true from a pragmatic point of view.

b) Phishing not really covered enough[1]. I think that this is one of the major (MAJOR) problems that larger companies have security-wise. It's not that the IT guys aren't setting up firewalls properly, but rather that some marketing ding-dong is voluntarily giving away his passwords.

c) This is related to (b), but social engineering, much like phishing, is a bigger problem than "iterating attack patterns" (yawn). The run-of-the mill non-techie people need to be educated and trained into how to be vigilant and security-conscious. You can do all the drills you want, if Bob from accounting simply hands over his credentials to bad guy X, it's all for naught.

I really do like the anomaly awareness idea though. I think that might even be a great start-up idea. Have a service that logs "anomalies" -- it simply does statistical analysis on various information (like login patterns), and when something "weird" happens (i.e. exceeding some set deviation), it alerts the security people.
