They have a lot of good tutorials around practical features you'd expect to be in an iOS app.
What I meant is this: On iOS 1-6, the UI is very clearly UI. The rectangle between navigation bars, tab bars and status bars is the content. It's like looking at a snowy landscape through a heavy, wooden frame.

On iOS 7, everything blends together and I don't see how this puts the focus on the content. E.g. in mail, the scrollable content has almost the same colour as the bars above and below it. How is it more prominent now?

It is not necessarily true that just because they are called scientists, real people with real motives, funded by organizations of real people with real motives, operating in a political regime controlled by real people with real motives, will act that way. (By "that way" I mean "your work will have a low impact factor- this is largely measured in how many of your fellow researchers cite your work" and "If your colleagues can easily see that your statistical analysis is flawed, they won't waste their own time doing work that builds off of yours.")

See e.g. Chan and Boliver "The Grandparents Effect in Social Mobility", http://asr.sagepub.com/content/78/4/662 (HT http://www.arnoldkling.com/blog/a-grandparent-effect/) and many of the works that it cites. There seems to be a sizable mutually-citing "scientific" literature devoted to studying correlation in biological descent while dogmatically not controlling for ordinary DNA-based inheritance of psychological traits from parent to child. (Indeed, not even controlling for DNA-based inheritance of physical traits. Health and height and attractiveness are correlated with income, and are significantly physically heritable.) By not controlling for the properties which are transmitted by sperm meeting egg, your can find all sorts of fascinating possibilities to investigate to explain the correlation. (E.g. Chan and Boliver carefully note that "well-connected grandparents could also use their social contacts to help grandchildren with job searches." Good, good, carefully investigate all the possibilities.)

WHY ORDERS ARE VANISHING

You can't see this from just looking at the code: there are four other systems that interact with the same database. I've managed to localise the problem by the timing of faults, it seems like Cassandra is erasing entries that aren't on its local list.

They won't let us change this because they're afraid of breaking the system.

My iPad 3 works fine. That said, it's still unacceptable that yours doesn't run well, but at least the experience of others with a similar device suggests that there's a chance you can fix it. Spotlight indexing could be the culprit.

I don't think that is easily overlooked. Maybe, if there had only been one conditional, but the different '==' and '=' are jarring to me.

OTOH, I'm a pretty slow code reader and look at "pattern" and "flow" of code at least as much as I attempt to understand meaning. Probably why I'm so anal about style, indentation, and vertical white space.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the case for me. I always uncheck boxes, always unsubscribe to newsletters that I'm pre-enrolled in and such. I haven't used DivX probably in a year or more, but all of the sudden the past several days it kept popping up asking me to update. I decided since some day I may need it I'd update it rather than just install it, or rather than spend time looking for an option to temporarily stop the pesky update request. I clicked install, was watching it go and drinking a coffee at at the last scene I say it blink on the screen about bing for less than a second then it automatically skipped to the next page. I wasn't able to read what the page said but I knew it had just probably installed some bing crapware. Listening to the other commenters it sounds like the auto advance/click issue was particular to me and not sure what caused it. But so in my particular case I didn't have an option to decline but for most everyone else who does there is still a high chance they will automatically click ok, since installers ask so many questions that require yes to continue and then they throw in one at the end they think you will ignore and click yes. That it is opt-in is one problem the farther bigger problem is uninstalling it. First in Chrome having to uninstall the plugin, then changing the new conduit homepage in Chrome, then needed to uninstall from Safari, as well as change the homepage back as well as change the default search engine. For Firefox it was more complicated as it even changes a 404 page. Then also found yesterday a new Conduit folder in my home directory. While for us technical people here it's not much of a challenge but think of your parents installed DivX. They most likely would have no chance of removing all of that and next time you visited them you would say mom I told you to use Google while are you using Bing. She'd say I don't know it just appeared one day (like on PC's where IE's toolbar is about 200 pixels high from add on toolbars). Also on Twitter they have been unapologetic and rude with some customers. Fortunately for me as mentioned I almost never use DivX so I simply installed the program and will never return, but people who use it often may have a harder time leaving it. Finally, to note, less than a week ago even Google Chrome alerted users downloading the PC version that the app included malware to which the company said just ignore that it's a false positive: http://forums.divx.com/divx/topics/chrome_warns_divx_update_... to which people then ignore it and wonder why all of their browser settings have changed.

The Coming Dropbox Apocalypse
Nvidia Is Now Entering the Table Market?
The seal was basically the same as saying "this game is licensed by Nintendo." There were some games without the seal, but they were unauthorized and typically Nintendo sued them.

You couldn't get a game on a standard Nintendo cartridge without being licensed, so these games were actually put on reverse-engineered, custom manufactured cartridges[1] that overloaded the piracy detection circuit[2] on the NES.

Interestingly, when Nintendo built the Game Boy, they came up with a novel way of protecting it from unlicensed games: They made the system check that the console had a bitmap of the Nintendo logo at a specific part of the cartridge memory, and refused to boot if it was not there. Unlicensed cartridge manufacturers could then be sued for trademark infringement.[3] This logo was actually the one displayed when the console booted up, which is why if you booted the console without a cartridge inserted, you would see a black rectangle in the place where the Nintendo logo normally appeared.

>One actually has local type inference

Which is totally orthogonal to the power and expressiveness of the type system. I specifically gave an example that C# also has crappy limited type inference too, and is still java-style static typing.

>HM-style type inference is notoriously brittle

Yeah, obviously no languages could possibly exist that use it with no problems.

>One has nominal class types, the other has no class types (yet)

What does being OO have to do with anything? I am talking about the expressiveness of the type system. The amount of things you can express in the type system.

>One has intersection types, occurrence typing, "true" union types

So racket has a partial implementation of ADTs? And that's it? Ok, you win, racket has java + 0.1 level of static typing, hooray! The point is, using static typing in racket gets you virtually nothing, because it is such a primitive type system. Go use ML or haskell and then compare it to typed racket.
So, if the exact same arrangement of atoms were to appear somewhere else in the universe, would I be both? Would I be controlling two bodies at once, and see two worlds/viewpoints superimposed over one another?

iiuc sage comes from sageru which is a Japanese word meaning "lower." Its use is a polite way of saying "my comment is not important enough to bump the thread to the top of the page."

If this is true, sage can not be used to downvote at all, EXCEPT if there are enough sages to make the thread expire. However, that limit is something in the 100s. No one has the time and dedication to "sage a thread into non-existence," even though they sometimes call for it.

DropQuery is a tool I'm working on at the moment, which you can use to upload your CSV file and use standard SQL to query it.

The problem is that == and = look similar. Banning assignment as expression only makes the language less expressive. Common Lisp fixes this, by having assignment and comparison look completely different: (setf variable value) vs (eql variable value)

A few years back I joined a company that was doing really interesting and very highly technical stuff only to discover that the only bit of that hyperbole that didn't match their antics was the fact by saying "push to production" sort of implies that they are using a revision control system.

The tutorial would probably be nicer if it were more interactive earlier on, and this would allow you to ramp up players at the same time.

Explain shape matching, and show some example combos, but then dive straight into playing a quick round where the only thing you have to match is shapes. Perhaps use less bins so it's not too easy, and set a lowish target amount of points to move on, say 10 or 15.

Increase difficulty by adding more parameters, I would add colour first, balancing a quick reward cycle with the more complex gameplay.

On the tutorial, with the animations you currently have you definitely need a way to let players skip them. I wanted to quit the tutorial half way through because I already understood it, and the three animations are identical once you know the idea. I was getting frustrated by the tutorial before I got to even touch the game.

All in all an interesting diversion, thanks!

By that, I meant that the article described what the graph was representing, not that the article described the information presented adequately. Also, I absolutely disagree with the assumption you made that graphs shouldn't be present if the information is presented in the article. It's good to provide visual demonstrations when applicable in order to help clarify subjects.
I was waiting for the punch line as well, and then scrolled up to see who the author was. His tagline says, "I defend laissez-faire capitalism, using Ayn Rand's Objectivism." So it's safe to say it's not satire.

No. The term 'web' encompasses the protocols and standards. Generally HTTP, HTML, JavaScript, XML, JSON etc.

A closed form expression is basically just a mathematical function used to model a potentially infinite series.

Look at the first and second examples.

You'll see the big summation sign (for loop: i to infinite) and then an explicit function.
