Actually it's been really easy for us to port our games over to Android thanks to Apportable (http://www.apportable.com). They fully support Cocos2d (and are now the official maintainers) with very minor changes to your codebase to support things like different resolution screens or the Android back button.
This is fud. Browser is still in AOSP. Pretty sure this is it here:

Obviously you can create the gui for a browser to access the webkit renderer if you didnt want this.

Anyway, this is meaningless. No one ships commercial phones without the Play store and Chrome will be just another app bundled with the deal.

>I like this, but it seems too cryptic for a true novice to actually learn from, especially if they've never been exposed to Lisp syntax. Who is the intended audience?

Well, I am definitely learning from this. I always wanted to explore Clojure/ClojureScript and I read first chapter of SICP so I understand Lispy syntax, but I never followed through.

I love how this website doesn't try to appeal to novices, because I'm always frustrated reading beginner guide to languages, because they're easy too slow- or too fast-paced. This one strikes a nice balance, without being too pedagogical. It lets me make guesses. I like this approach a lot.
Not only the browser in AOSP is based on chromium, but it's also used as the webview engine itself...

Upgrade Pricing is Dead. Hello, Ingenious New Upgrades.
I suspect that's precisely why the computer can measure it. This is the scenario:

1. Player A makes a move the computer considers suboptimal.

2. Disoriented player B responds with another move the computer considers an important mistake.

3. Player A capitalizes with moves the computer thinks improves his position, even relative to the original baseline.

4. The computer concludes that A is nettlesome.

So it's measuring the delta of what it considers optimal with what actually happens against real humans.

It's not hugely different to if you had $150m in Albanian lek or Abkhazian apsar. You would find it ridiculously hard to convert into an alternative currency in one go and even if you did you'd probably be getting a bad deal (and could even devalue the currency in those two examples).

Ultimately, there's always a price that you can convert ("cash out") anything at. For example, I'd be willing to pay $100 for 100 bitcoins right now. Eventually a seller and buyer will find a meeting ground, a transaction is made, and value is defined.

Much of OOP and FP is very similar. In fact, closures and objects are basically equivalent: each can be implemented with the other. So then the differences between OOP and FP are largely a matter of style, and arguments consist mostly of anecdotes.

But OOP has some concrete advantage over FP, and vice-versa. Specifically, OOP makes it easier to add variants. If, at some point during the course of programming, you decide you need a new variant, it's simple. You make a new subclass. On the other hand, FP makes it easier to add operations. You just write a function. So you wind up with a matrix:

| OOP | FP
---------------------------
Variants | Easier | Harder
Operations | Harder | Easier

This has been independently observed by several programming language researchers. Then the question becomes, how can we make both easier at the same time? This is the Expression Problem. The Expression Problem is solvable in several existing programming languages, but the solution is often ugly and convoluted. So I like to add an additional restriction: how can we make both easier without lots of ugly, confusing boilerplate? Things like multimethods and typeclasses get us part-way there, I think.

While I love FP, it's important to not write-off OOP. There are some problems which are more naturally solved by OOP. Good ideas are good, regardless of associated paradigm. Then, OOP should not be an object of disdain, but an object of inspiration: how can we take all of the good parts and remove all of the bad parts? How can we advance the art and power of programming?

If we want to see improvements, we have to keep an open mind.

JQuery For Dummies
Coming from an Angular background, this presentation really made me question my own ideas of whether POJOs should be the "one-true-way (tm)".

I always thought POJOs made a lot of sense when you're in a RESTful world, where, to a large extent, your client-side model mimics objects from the database schema. Ok, I'm oversimplifying, but generally speaking, it makes sense to map a web service API point to a User table and compute information on the server end of the web service (I'm talking about highly-relational computations like a `IsUserInTheOffice` property derived from entries in several tables(e.g. Vacation, BusinessTrip); not trivial sugar like `Name = FirstName + LastName`)

Realistically though, the highly relational interconnectivity between model entities often require client-side computations. An example from something I've worked on: let's say you're drawing a calendar. What's the maximum start hour/end hour range of entries in a table in your system, plus entries from a 3rd party service (e.g GCal), in a given day?

With POJOs it's much harder to refactor when you suddenly need this type of computation, since you need to audit the whole codebase for insertions, deletions and other user-generated updates on all the relevant model entities. All of a sudden, the reactive style of Knockout, or the uniform access framework in Ember look very desirable.

To be fair, using things like user.firstName without requiring computations/side effects is far more common than using computed properties, and the author made a good point about the size of code vs usage frequency. And as you point out, making it easy to get into side effect hell from the get-go is probably not necessarily a good trade-off for protecting against potentially expensive, but uncommon refactors.
Besides cost there is also risk- a transfer of this size in the light of day would raise a lot of questions- Where did this money come from? Was tax paid? And depending on the reason for the transaction regulators may interfere or freeze the funds.
Huh, if you make a valid transaction there is no reason why it would fail.

> The difficulty in programming isn't the mechanical act of writing code;

I look at coding and programming as different things.

Programming is the critical thinking aspects of developing software and a skill that everyone should master: starting with children.

The act of writing code, and more specifically using frameworks designed with the intent of being coded against, is unnecessarily difficult.

I've always spent more time fighting with bad frameworks than I do implementing desired behavior.

Once I figure out the peculiarities of a compiler, I'm good to go. I can code fast. But, getting to that point takes a long time. It is especially difficult for people learning to program when they have to learn to code (edit: at the same time).

Software development is fundamentally broken and it frustrates me to no end.
Yes it OAuth
Yes, this is a very silly article.

In fact, since it's saying that "50% of angel investors regret at least one investment this year", that could be taken to mean that the other 50% of angel investors are being too conservative with their investments: http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2013/11/loss-ratios-in-early-stage-v...

This assumes that angel investors have the same incentives as institutional VC firms do, which is not always the case, but I'm just highlighting how silly it is to have a headline that "only" 50% of angel investors this year have no regrets.

They received a mathematical assurance that it would work. The relying nodes, blockchain, miners and priority rules are all well-known and straightforward to account for. If you pay enough fees given your transaction priority, it'll get into a block eventually. If you want it to be mined sooner, you can pay higher fees.

And even if it won't be mined, the worst case scenario is that you would keep your Bitcoins and can try re-sending them later, they won't disappear to anywhere.

I think I'm going to make a bet against myself. I have a feeling that in 2-3 years' time the play store app will be phased out and integrated with Chrome.

From thereon, if a vendor wants to call their device an Android[tm], they'll have no choice but to ship a browser they no longer control in order to have access to Android app arketplace. I'm not sure if this is laying groundwork for a pre-emptive strike against competing marketplaces or just an attempt to unify the browser experience for all future Androids.

Could be both. They are not mutually exclusive.

And there's probably a lengthy process to deposit and withdraw funds.

I threw together an alternative to Red October that only requires bash, coreutils and openssl.

Because it uses existing applications there's virtually no risk of the crypto implementation having bugs (or only openssl's bugs, anyway).

It would be very nice if each koan had docs included underneath (maybe hidden by a hint link?) talking about what the koan was trying to teach you. If you can do every single one it isn't that much fun, but if you can't do every single one then you need to go off and learn something and it would be really good to help nudge the user along to where they can learn more. Alternatively to a help box having the displayed code provide links to the appropriate clojure docs would be another route.

Yes, the truth is that the AOSP Browser is now abandonware - Google have stopped developing it in favour of Chrome, and likely won't accept non-security patches for it.

Maybe they are storing your password in plain text in a VARCHAR(16) field, which is a scary thought. It is also likely that enforcing a short password encourages users to choose passwords that are easy to remember...longer passwords would encourage users to write them down or keep them in a text file.
Hardly. If you tried to sell 195,000 coins you'd wipe out all the exchanges and cause a crash.

Talking numbers, you could sell them all on BTC-E right now, bagging you just $7M, and take the price down to ~$36. You can spread that around the exchanges of course, if you're quick, but you're still nowhere near $147M at current market depth.
I'm very curious how you are getting the data.

Probably capital gains, like striking it big in the stock-market. e.g., someone selling a bunch of Apple stock they purchased back before iPods became popular.

Can you even imagine trying to file this on your taxes? Unless you're a mega-corp, the first thing that will happen is that within 24hrs of the deposit, your bank would call you to say how much they appreciate you using $BANK_NAME for your banking needs and assign you a personal banker that you can reach at anytime to answer any questions. You'll probably also be sent flowers & a mug & all kinds of swag. They'll send you a birthday & holiday cards too..... then a few days later the police will show up....
On bayeshive.com, we have this cool little feature where if people want to build a more complicated statistical model that involves entering an equation - think non-linear regression or a dynamical system - then you can save that equation and share it with the other users, or run it against other datasets.

Agreed.

One of the many wonderful elegant qualities of Bitcoin.

It's actually a very public way of transferring value between endpoints but in a way that lets you "tune" the tradeoffs to just the right mix between privacy/anonymity and full-disclosure, to taste. You can't do that with government/bank/fiat systems.

For what it's worth, my non-programmer coworkers were able to deduce many of the answers just from context. The gradual difficulty ramp is quite good, only bumpy in a few places (higher order functions is a bit of a sudden jump for those who aren't well-versed in functional thinking). I'm a relatively seasoned programmer, who is gradually becoming familiar with Clojure/script, and really enjoyed these exercises. Definitely not a teaching tool, but a fantastic assessment of what parts of the language come easily, what parts I need to review, and excellent practice reading the language.
Still today in fact. Not sure exactly of all the details, but Argentinians are simply not allowed to change their currency.

They need to fill documents to officially ask the government, which will likely refuse you the right if it is for a huge amount (remember, this 'non-change' policy is exactly for that, avoid flights of capitals).
