Some technical details about how this works:

In the demo, the computer vision and gesture recognition algorithms are running on a Windows 8 tablet, connected to the glasses via a USB cable. The tablet is processing the live video feed from the glasses and communicates with the AR Drone via the super easy to use https://github.com/venthur/python-ardrone project.
For rapid prototyping, we started with the great JS hand recognition demo http://revealjs.herokuapp.com/ but quickly wanted the flexibility of OpenCV so we moved to the OpenCV Python libraries and other high performance Python libraries such as SciPy.

The bulk of the algorithm uses a variety of different features (such as color, motion and shape) to estimate where hands might be in the frame, and when a hand is found the foreground (hand) and background (non-hand) are learned to improve the robustness of the hand estimation.

We are building an application platform for developers to create applications integrating our glasses, and we'll be exposing the gestures API (among other APIs) for easy gesture-triggered events. This will allow lots of fun applications like waving your hand to turn the music up with your glasses, but we're really excited for all the ideas we haven't even thought of that we know everyone else will build with the platform and APIs.

This was quite a while ago, but Square announced they would not do a FFVII remake until another FF outsells it. FFVII had around 10 million sales. The closest was FFVIII with 8.15 million sales.

My VPS is in London, never noticed any latency in Turkey and US. I guess Linode now has bunch of more cities, check them out.

For laptop, I recommend Macbook Air. The design, is a master piece of minimalism. As a guy who used Xmonad for years, I think OSX and a Linux VPS is the zen combo.
I think the idea is that restricting the enrollment period will cause uncertainty (or fear) that the citizen may 'miss out' on the opportunity to save money on treatment throughout the year. Restricted enrollment periods also make government oversight and regulation simpler. As far as I can see the mandate has a separate goal, and was intended to penalize non-consumption of insurance, as well as broaden the customer base, while not being so high as to be a potentially unconstitutional compulsion.

I do not think this is system is well thought-out or particularly good, but this is the only explanation I can find.
Vagrant is great if you want to share VMs with co-workers. If you're using Windows and I'm using OSX and we're working on the same project that will be deployed to an Ubuntu machine, we can each `vagrant up` our own virtual machine and they will be exactly the same. Puppet or Chef provisioning of that vagrant VM will be very similar to using fabric to fully configure everything, with the added nicety that there are a tonne of puppet and chef configs that can be reused (not so much with fabric I've found).

So vagrant doesn't give you anything you don't already have if you're just configuring a VM, except maybe the networking and shared folders. But being able to share that VM, destroy it, and rebuild it is where vagrant makes a lot of sense.

I agree with your main point, but you're making an unfair comparison. If Latin were an internationally popular language alive today, then I imagine you could also get quite far with bits of broken Latin.

Also, if you think English isn't "fraught with complexities that make it really hard to master", I know an entire nation made (mostly) of people who've been learning English since twelve and still failing miserably at basic reading comprehension...
Oh, I know. You shouldn't play games with code ownership; CLAs are important for any commit.

I was just thinking that this could have been handled better via an email to a committer who already had a signed CLA. Would have sidestepped a lot of drama. Oh well.
Hey Erick! Can't wait, I'm very excited!
Is it just me or does nobody care about the performance times being so low to begin with? Wouldn't it be better if the algorithm ran for 10+ seconds at least? Maybe closer to a minute. That would reduce variance due to operating system interference, as well as hide the process startup cost, which shouldn't be relevant here.
Mavericks and VB 4.3(4.3.2) doesn't really go hand in hand together, I wasted several hour the day before on trying to configure it properly to no avail, downgraded to 4.2 later on. It's better to stick with 4.2 if you are on mavericks.
Using your weak definition of capitalism, I've rarely seen anyone advocate socialism over capitalism, since all socialism that I've seen advocated is compatible with (and even require) your weak definition of capitalism, they aren't alternatives to it.

And, while there's probably some definitions of "socialism" and "capitalism" for which my preferred tuning of a modern mixed economy is more "socialism" than "capitalism", all I've been arguing in this thread is that your Marx-in-reverse arguments about the inevitability of capitalism are as ludicrous as Marxist fanatics arguments about the inevitability of Communism -- and that's not even related to advocacy about the desirability of any system.
Great timing! Getting a virtualbox dev environment set up with Vagrant was literally on tomorrow's to-do list. Now I know where to start. :)
Aside: this test code would have been a bit easier to debug if it had used decimal bases. That is, replace

int a[] = {10,20,30};
int r = 1 * a[i++] + 2 * a[i++] + 3 * a[i++];

with

int a[] = {1,2,3};
int r = 1 * a[i++] + 10 * a[i++] + 100 * a[i++];

Then if your program outputs r = 111, it's obvious that it's doing

a[0] + 10*a[0] + 100*a[0]

and if it outputs 321, it's obvious that it's doing

a[0] + 10*a[1] + 100*a[2]

No disassembly required.
I think most people associate video games with games based solely around reflexes and (shooting, jumping) accuracy. When you think about it, these games are just more advanced variants of throwing rubber ball against the wall (or whatever prison inmates did in their cells to kill time before they got TV). They provide no way to enrich or better your life whatsoever (well, ok, better reflexes) and can be even thought of as detrimental - while playing these games you're not excercising your social skills, your intelligence and judgment, not to mention your body.

TV or movies on the other hand, even the most stupid and superficial ones, put you (virtually) in a social context, where you can observe other people, think about their actions, think about how you would've reacted etc. Stories or characters in TV movies can be inspiring (meaning can influence your goals/actions in a positive way) or can be a cautionary tale. While it's theoretically possible for a game story to achieve the same, in practice the stories and the execution ("acting" by 3D models) are too weak for the positive effects to kick in. The models are probably a lot to blame there - since it's been shown that various facial expressions are one of main ways to estabilish empathetic communication, faces of in-game 3D model are just too fake to trigger the right neurons.

There's a 37.7MB zip and the USB PD specification (328 pages) is packaged within.

In order to ensure shit doesn't melt, they'll have detectable cables for >5V and >1.5A operation. I'm reading the spec to find out how they plan to do cable detection. IC based, or electrical connections, or maybe something else?
For me the biggest barrier to adopting Vagrant was getting my rails stack setup in an easily reproducible way. It took me a while to get my laptop environment setup the way I like, so I was hesitant to have to start that process again.

Some of my friends had the same problem, so I put together some scripts to automate Vagrant + Rails: https://github.com/cyrusstoller/gardenbed

The sentence is inaccurate, as the user is not assigned a session ID. Instead, generally the visit is.

You can also get rid of the passive voice and make a stronger statement at the same time.
Doing all this reduces the need for any gendered language.

When a user visits the website, the site assigns a session ID to the visit and transmits it in the HTTP response. The user's browser stores this ID.

It's both. Declaring the `::Int64`, doesn't magically turn it into integer division, but it does insert a convert(Int64,...), hence all the speedup here is obtained through type stability, even though the algorithm is still different.

Speaking as someone who writes embedded software using USB stacks for a living, there are a number of solutions to this. Your solution is possible, and is how many iPhone USB charging cables are designed. If limited communication is required, the device being charged can also contain a separate processor for the interface. The ideal solution is for the device to contain some security measures, to prevent these issues; this solution is also the least versatile or most costly depending on implementation, and may not be achievable.
Check out Mitchell's sister project, packer, on Github. Vagrant and packer are an unstoppable in any Unix-geek toolkit.

I also saw Mitchell's videos on middleware-style coding in Ruby, also posted here, and that was a really insightful view on programming libraries.

Mandatory coverage was another wealth transfer; when 30% of patients are not paying for their medical treatments, and the other 70% are being forced to cover that cost, it is a wealth transfer.

To be clear, I am not saying wealth transfers are bad, but we should be honest about what is happening.
Chak De! India.
...the mysterious thing to me is why people choose these "tournament-like professions" in the first place. I think the whole "tournament profession" thing is an illusion build for the purpose of unfair exploitation by the few at the top. The natural reactions imho to encountering a "tournament situation" should be to either: (a) just run as far away as you can from such a discipline/industry/trade or (b) rebel and burn the system to the ground from the inside, be the joker that just wants to "see the world burn" because you'll just make it a better place for others by burning it clean.

It's as stupid as playing the lottery. In academia people should just rebel and ask for one of two things:

1. higher salaries (like significantly higher than the average income that someone with a similar qualification would get in industry!), OR

2. tenured positions with lots of "free" time to do research and the security that even if they pursue unpopular lines of research and get negative research they'd still get to keep their tenure.

People should not accept working for the "hope of much better status/income" in the future, they should aggressively and unreasonably demand IMMEDIATE compensation for their struggles, not work for expectation of a "better future". There are enough money and resources in the system for almost everybody to "have their cake and eat it too" and you shouldn't settle for anything less!

Now if people would start thinking this way, worldwide academic institutions would collapse, but I think this would be a good outcome as, imho, despite their contributions to mankind's progress, educational systems and academic institutions are mostly unreformable and can only be rebuild from scratch for the better.
It depends if the certificate is marked as "exportable". If it is, then it can be moved/copied.

> I forgot to give an example of a falsifiable prediction in Marxism: the outcome of the "dictatorship of the proletariat" and the transitional socialist state leading to communism. It was actually falsified successfully by Soviet Union et al.

That's debatable, given the modifications to Marxism made in Leninism -- the actual "Communist" states all were based on Leninism, rather than Marxism. The advanced democratic capitalist states that had the foundations which Marx saw as essential for the transition to socialism on the way to communism have generally transitioned in the direction of socialism since Marx's time, though in a rather gradual way. At least in the direction of the natural progression beyond the model of political-economic system that Marx and other 19th century socialists critiqued under the name "capitalism", Marx seems to have been very broadly correct -- as to whether that eventually leads to communism is, well, something that we're probably several generations away from seeing.

I think that its a lot more likely that something like the modern mixed economy -- evolving with productivity in a way that increasing has a greater domain of social support and responsiveness -- will be dominant for a very long term. OTOH, I can envision that happening in a way where the social support is delivered in a way based on private property (e.g., through a mechanism like basic income) with social goods delivered more through the market than directly by the state. With sufficient productivity (and hence, goods being less scarce) this would in many ways resemble communism (while still having features of socialism and capitalism.)
> But if he can, we’ll get Node v0.12 delivered a lot faster and have a stronger community.

And of course, Strongloop could not help but make another half way claim that they are the ones "in charge" of node. This current stuff aside, I just cannot believe their lack of shame when trying to take commercial credit for a community project.
You are not the only one.

I also can't get why people are so excited about vagrant. To start a VM from a base image and invoke Ansible to deploy just require a few commands - The good thing is you can make sure the deployment procedures is the same no matter in development or production environments, as the only dependency is Ansible.
This is great. Five years ago I carried on trips a phone with a proprietary USB cable, a GPS with mini-USB, a pocket camera with a like-sized charger (and 2m lead, which I refactored), and a AA battery charger for the rest of the stuff.

These days, bike lights charge from mini-USB (or even have integrated USB A plugs), phones are semi-required to use micro-USB, computer mice have USB charging and data, and I recently learned that even pocket UV water treatment devices use micro-USB and integrated Li-ion instead of AAs now. I think the only use I have for AA batteries anymore is a camera flash. One of the requirements when I bought a pocket camera recently was that it charge via USB (Sony gets this; Olympus sort of does but their cables are "special"; Canon has one or two models).

USB power can also do wonders for places where mains power is provided only part of the day. Those USB "power banks" are already taking off, and the more things we can use them with, the better.

We've basically killed off the C and D-size battery, the 6V lantern, and a bunch of other unnecessary form factors. Now let's finish the job--we can make AAAs as obscure as AAAAs if we get USB charging remote controls, and there's no reason we can't make smoke detectors last a full year if we get rid of their antiquated and inefficient 9V packs.

P.S.: America, think about migrating to 220-240VAC outlets someday. The fewer standards, the better. You can make USB wall outlets standard at the same time!

Ok, on your recommendation I found a copy of the book and read it for the last three hours. I am significantly less convinced of the thesis "Feminism is about equal rights" after reading this book.

"Most women in the United States do not even know or use the
terms colonialism and neocolonialism." I found this statement to be emblematic of the issues this book has, it is right around 125 pages of assertions and 0 pages of proof, data, reasoning, or any sort of factual grounding beyond the implicit goals of the author.

"Future feminist studies will document all the ways anti-sexist male parenting enhances the lives of children" This is a second thing the book frequently proposes, while feminism doesn't have an answer today, we're sure we'll have an answer tomorrow.

The book itself had a deceptive title, it should be titled "Feminism is for marxists who claim to have all the answers but hand wave giving any".
So many assumptions...

* 1st assumption: It is within human reach to change the climate.

* 3rd: A human induced climate change will make the planet warmer.

* 4th: A warmer planet is bad. (If you look at a world map, you'll see huge surface of land in the temperate and frigid zones.)

Pricing is hard. Price is the market reflecting back at you what your product is worth. It's your sales, marketing, branding, feature set, usability, support, relationship with the client, all baked into a single number. As such, no one can tell you what the right price is. For example, lowering your price will not necessarily increase your unit sales, or make an initial sale easier. The answer will always be, "it depends."

I've heard that it's common knowledge that B2B SaaS pricing trends away from five figures. Five figures is believed to be too high to sell itself, and too low to support a high touch sale. But then again, one of the SaaS companies I co-founded sells deployments for $20k setup, plus $20k per year.

I know nothing about your product or your market, but price is synonymous with value and/or cost. Unless you're selling backup services or bandwidth, I doubt that "GBs" is the key metric. Make your pricing reflect increasing value in terms that your customer is most likely to understand. What is the thing about your product which provides increasing (variable) value?

If not number of projects, then perhaps number of users?

Hey Mitchell,

Thank you for producing such an awesome piece of software. I have been doing my local development on a Vagrant box for about a year now and in that time I have been able to move from OS X to Linux almost seamlessly thanks to Vagrant.

The only problem I have with it is the slowness of the default shared folders mechanism. Guess I need to bite the bullet one of these days switch to NFS.
I think most designer even don't know how to install vagrant or virtualbox and how to use command-line. In my opinion, it might be better to provide another tutorial for pure designers.

But they are not different. The functions in stream-fusion are a drop-in replacement for the ones in Data.List. To quote the package description: "To use, simply import Data.List.Stream in place of Data.List, and hide list functions from the Prelude."

So to put simply: you have two functions. They are semantically equivalent, but one is faster than the other. Why not use the faster one?
