VS2010 actually does implement quite a few of C++11's features, you have to be careful though and better read the MSDN documentation for each of them.

A weird case I found recently was that the VS2010 implementation of std::to_string(...) only supports long long, unsigned long long and long double.

Not very useful for most cases. Luckily VS2012+ supports the rest of the number types.
Hey bukka,

That's not the intention with tyto.

tyto has come out of a common problem with managing and organising things for me personally and colleagues past and present, and my wanting to see if I could implement my own tool for tackling that issue.

The codebase is meant to be easy to read so that people can easily take it away and make it their own.
Yes, I've used localStorage. It's supported well across all the main browsers, it's reasonably quick, and it'll store more than enough data for your app. It's really just a case of doing (assuming you include JSON2.js);

var ls = window.localStorage;
var config = JSON.parse(ls.getItem('config')); //load the config

ls.setItem('config', JSON.stringify(config)); //save the config

That's pretty much it. You'll need to protect against the config not being there, but that's just a matter of using a default empty object if config is null.
> So whilst you may lose economy of scale on the motherboard side, I think you will gain it back via integration, however, you will lose the ability to customise.

True but if the SoC was advanced enough it can make customization unnecessary. After all a phone or tablet or laptop or a desktop or a server is just a computer with some processing power and memory. Old super computers can now fit on a Samsung Galaxy Gear. Add more of the same to the SoC or make SoCs of varying specs. Who needs customization in such an environment.
Very nice. As mentioned below, it shouts for a UX/ExD review, but I'm impressed nonetheless.
Money quote:

Buying Bitcoins while their price is so bubbly is nothing more than a gamble. Investing in other online currencies, or in companies that can help the Bitcoin economy develop, looks like a sensible use of a venture capitalist’s money.

Also from the comments section this one is particularly insightful:

If you want to value Bitcoin's potential properly you have to understand it's at minimum a decentralized payment network which will provide most of the service of retail banking offers for free or minimal fees to all the unbanked of the world. Actually considering how antiquated the banking system is, it will also offer serious competition for the already banked.

Can you imagine a world where anyone can set up a shop on the internet and instantly accept payments from all over the world to sell its product or service without any intermediary ? Well that's only one face of what Bitcoin enables. And It enables a world of possibility after that. If for people who understand Bitcoin, we can't even grasp what's going to be done with this technology. It's like trying to grasp what's going to be done with the Internet in 1990.

So you want to value Bitcoin's potential, you have to compare it to Gold as a store of value and to m1 of major currencies. Anybody that builds a model for Bitcoin's POTENTIAL without landing AT LEAST in the hundreds of billions of $ at minimum is doing something wrong.

Not everything with an exponential curve is a bubble. Technology adoption follows a S curve. And Bitcoin could be the most important technology invented since the Internet.
Yep, that's a nice and promising technique. I'm currently working on a NodeJS project and I'm using EJS templates with Handlebars templates on the server-side and on the front-end. The benefit is impressive. I can deliver the same content on page-load and using fancy Backbone routing I manage to change dynamically the page without duplicating code logic. I'm reusing some components on server-side and client-side, so my templates will always render with the same context ( JSON ) but on different JS environments. Amazing how far can we go, just to satisfy Google and SEO guys.

Hey sekasi,

Thank you very much for the feedback!

It's in it's infant stage and I am certainly embracing the UX comments, they are very appreciated. Plenty for me to make changes to and put back out there. So, any suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks again for the feedback!
I agree with you 100%. My post (I think) was more about decline than collapse. All the negative development we currently see in the US from militarization to weak economy are signs of decline and not collapse.

Like UK -- it has declined from an Empire Status, but did not collapse. I agree - the same with Roman Empire.
I like it, my local Trello! :)

Just one small suggestion, it'd be nice if columns were draggable as well.
True that. Will maybe give it a try this month :)
Thanks for that. I am certainly going to see if I can tackle that issue.

Thanks again :)

It really annoys me that people who get things wrong feel the need to delete their post, rather than just reply saying something like, "Ooops, sorry, your right."

Why is that so hard?
That's a total non sequitur, given that I was objecting to this silly personal attack.

I do not believe that alcohol is a net negative to society. I'm pretty confident that crack cocaine is more damaging, especially to the individual user (and in fact you'll find that borne out by Nutt's research).

However, while perhaps "nobody robs a granny to buy a single malt," alcohol can very obviously have damaging effects, especially if it's misused. Sexual assault and drunk driving are just two examples.

That these exist does not mean that alcohol should be banned, and that crack is more damaging does not mean that the most effective tool to prevent it's use is criminalisation.
(Correction: actually only half.)
Having nations is not the same thing as nationalism, but nationalism is what perpetuated nations as independent entities. Once people stop believing that their nation and culture is unique and worth preserving, they stop fighting for independence.
My understanding is the bankruptcy will have huge impact on the society. There could be a revolution. Favorably, a revolution in which banisters among other traitors (i.e. constitution destroyers and haters who are in Office) hanged by an angry mob. Like 2nd American Revolution.

USSR bankruptcy caused plenty of revolutions in the whole region.

W.L. Gore and Associates, the company behind the Gore-Tex brand, uses a similar management structure and has since the '50s.
How? I don't see that in what he says (I see other problems which I mentioned previously). It's not "do not kill under any kind of circumstance, willingly or not, consciously or not". There's a lot of nuance behind the simple, short Buddhist precept "I will refrain (or abstain) from killing". Precepts are shortly formulated to help you keep in mind a huge deal of theory and, more importantly, practice behind them. And they are explicitly not abstract axioms to be dogmatically held without any kind of practical context of reality.
Hey bromagosa!

I do take a massive compliment when people are mentioning Trello :)

Using it locally allows you to do whatever you want with it too!

... columns draggable... Now why didn't I think of that?! That's a really good idea, thanks! I can certainly look into that as a feature to add, that would be pretty cool. I would probably need to play around with that a bit as I can see there certainly being some behavioural issues when implementing that but I'd imagine it to certainly be doable.

Thanks again for the feedback! it's really appreciated.
>Worldwide inequality is falling, that is well documented.

I was under the impression that this is mostly or solely due to extravagant growth pulling hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty, and that once you factor this out (which you should, since the Chinese are employing protectionist, state-capitalist policies rather than standard IMF/WTO-flavored neoliberal ones), global inequality has been rising.

Well, you'll not go to jail, but underfloor lighting is strictly speaking illegal in germany and only allowed for show cars - and even then it has to be off on the road. (StVZO §49a Absatz 1)

Violating that rule invalidates the permission to drive that car on a public road, immediately voiding insurance coverage. You'd better not have an accident with that car, because you're personally liable for any damage caused. That might not bring you to jail, but can seriously ruin your life if you cause a permanent injury to someone else.
If that was true, this guy would have predicted that Bitcoin would reach 1000 USD 6 months ago and be awesomely rich. He did not, and he just looks like someone who missed the party and who's bitching about it.

> i doubt any Maya pilot even has the tool bar on the screen.

I don't know Maya nor 3D editoes but I can see how this can be irrelevant, as it would be like comparing your favorite IDE keyboard shortcuts with vim's command mode. vim's power is in its modal interface and command composability thanks to text objects, adjectives and verbs. Also, having views handled like vim's buffers+tabs+windows instead of fixed situations.

To sum it up, vim is not just a bunch of hjkl keybindings. If this tool enables such a grammar and vocabulary in command mode, along with top to bottom scriptability of the editor's behavior, then it's worthy of the vim moniker. Otherwise it's just a misleading name.

I'm not saying this time it's different. Did you read my comment properly? I'm saying Bitcoin can crash. But not for the reason that it inherently has no value. This guy's argument is really shallow, because tons of things start by having no value and simply gain it because people use them.

Is meat that essential to human diets when millions upon millions of non-meat eaters have successfully lived without consuming meat?

You simply can't say that meat is "so essential" because it clearly isn't, any more.

I eat meat for no other reason than pleasure, convenience and laziness but I, and most probably everyone else on the planet, could easily sustain a healthy, long life not eating meat.
That's just absolutely not true. What is true is that not everyone in every situation cares about GPA. Also true is the idea that your GPA matters more and more if you on the extreme side of things (very high or very low). Someone who graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard, for example, will want to show that to prospective employers even if they are 55 years old. Someone who graduated with a 2.2 from Podunk U will try to hide that even at 23 years old.

Who knows what will happen to OP over the next 10 years? Who knows what opportunities s/he may be in that would or would not require GPA disclosure? You don't. I don't. But to tell an unknown person who you know only 2-3 sentences about that "noone cares about your GPA" is just irresponsible. Perhaps no one cares about your GPA but those are reasons unique to you or your life.
I'm with you on this one.

Also, to me this feels like a really cheap move to try to spoil a brand's reputation. If they believe that there's a problem with google street view and privacy, they should try to raise awareness to it, not pretend to work for Google and act like jerks.

This way, the only thing that they achieved was damaging Google's reputation instead of making people aware of the privacy implications of cars with cameras capturing everything.

I believe they could have done something more interesting with this.

Yes, I know how that sounds. Sorry, but I don't want to maintain and support a system in which my parents, my friends, and my children all face a steady worsening of their lives just because they're not programmers and don't have a million in assets.

Horses for courses. Async. architectures are great for distributed back-end systems (God I love making streaming data-science applications) ... but not so great for on-the-metal embedded devices; where static & limited computational capacity & whole-system predictability requirements drive you in the opposite direction. I do a lot of machine vision stuff for embedded systems, and having everything driven by the drum-beat of a frame interval really does simplify things a lot; particularly when it comes to finding the absolute cheapest hardware that will be able to perform a given function.
Thanks a lot for this, it's really helpful to get an idea of how this would be used.

How would you suggest this is used then?

People have the option to save a file or to localStorage?

Or should it just do it in the background without people knowing or maybe it's set as a config option?

You opinion on this is really appreciated so thanks again!

Yes, specific requirements differ from country to country, and invalidating your insurance and crashing your car anywhere in the world has that effect.

Point is that you won't 'go to jail in the entire EU', or anything of the sort for simply driving car with an unusual load on the roof rack.
No it is not...Ideas like this generally don't scale, it may work while they are still small.

Flat organizational structures are nothing new, many big companies practice this to a certain extent. For instance many IT consulting companies have armies of workers without the typical boss, but you still have executives/managers to actually run the companies.

Some companies will promote flat organizational structures but really often it is just a euphemism for lack of career advancement opportunities. So instead of employees aspiring to move up the ladder they are encouraged to move laterally (try different roles).

>Why would it? The US dollar not being the world currency wouldn't drop the value of US industrial output, but it would (presuming that it dropped the value of the dollar due to reduced global demand for US dollars) reduce the value of US debt.

90% of all USD in circulation isn't even in the US borders. Isn't used for the needs of the US industry/economy. Thanks to this the FED can print, print, print into the oblivion, getting back just 10% of inflation it created, while the world gets the 90%. Ever heard the famous: “The dollar is our currency, but your problem” by John Connally, President Nixon’s Treasury Secretary, to a delegation of Europeans worried about exchange rate fluctuations?

Now the ponzie scheme grew (as they always have to) so it is not only Europeans, but also Arabs and Asians, but the days of the USD debt ponzie scheme are counted. There are just these many losers on the planet to buy into it.

Now, just imagine these additional USD coming from all over the world to the US. Hyperinflation?

And just a single simple event could cause that: Chinese tying their Yuan to gold. Who on Earth will want your t-bill backed by the most indebted government on the planet, when they can get it backed by gold and the biggest creditor government in the world?

>Which would be bad for entities with incomes or assets denominated in US dollars, but good for entities with debts denominated in US dollars, and neutral for entities whose income was dependent, say, on US output.

Right. Your debt would vanish. I think that's the only good thing from the hyper inflationary perspective. The debt is USD denominated, so yes, it makes sense. Again, from China perspective, a little price to pay to have world reserve currency instead of the US having it.

>This is neither true nor meaningful; as long as the debt can be serviced, it doesn't actually need to be repaid (and could, in fact, grow in absolute terms over time without limit without harm so long as output was growing apace.)

If we use the official government formula of calculating inflation from Ronald Reagan years we are at 10% today. We've been for at least 3 years now. And what is the return on the t-bill? Again, it might be true, that at least you know you'll be repaid even if it means you'll loose. But t-bills are in fact in a bubble territory now. What will you do when interest rates rise? If interest rates are at 7% we're talking about more than 50% of tax revenue going just to service the debt. Just to pay the premium. Over 50% of the tax revenue! And what if we have to have it at the levels from the beginning of 1980s? At 18% ? We won't even be able to service it. And in 1980s most of the debt was hold by the Americans. So the money was going back to the US economy. Currently most of the debt is held by foreigners. Can you imagine the impossibility of a political situation were over 50% of the tax revenue goes to foreigners in the middle of a financial crisis? And it is just at 7% interest rates. The FED effectively can't rise the rates. There is no way they can do it. You think this is acceptable like forever for t-bills holders?
This. I live in Berlin, which invested heavily in public transportation over the decades, leading the majority of my friends to not even having a drivers license (me included).
You can get anywhere pretty much anytime, often considerably faster than taking a car, especially on day time when you easily spend 30min just looking for a spot.

Plus if you combine public transport with a decent bike - no car will ever beat you in this city.
Is there any type of sitting that isn't bad for backs?
EDIT: One of my points was mistaken. See the end.

I've seen this is several posts of Ryan's and it continues to bother me (from Part 3 of the linked series):

> Everyone is hired at Treehouse at an industry-standard salary level that matches their job description. Most of our team is distributed and outside of expensive outlier markets (like Silicon Valley or NYC).

> The only way to get a salary increase is by performing consistently well in reviews. We don’t have a profit-sharing plan or bonuses (other than the sales team which has a traditional sales team bonus structure).

To me this is a way to pay people as little as possible. The "industry-standard salary" for a position like developer increases year over year by more than the rate of inflation. But without even standard cost-of-living increases, it sounds like working at Treehouse for any measurable about of time will put you in a worse financial position than if you bounced around.

EDIT: It seems they do offer cost-of-living adjustments but only for employees who are performing well (not that I'm advocating giving raises to poorly performing employees, but we're talking about 1-2% to cover inflation here).
