No, it doesn't. My mindset in this case revolves around one thing: convincing people they should buy. Their sales and marketing, from what I've observed today, is so poor it fails to do the only thing it should: sell.

I never said they should grow unsustainably and run out of cash, but my money is on them running out of cash anyway because their marketing is so poor it'll fail to drive the sales they need to keep the lights on. Frankly, supply shortages would be the best thing that could happen to them because scarcity drives demand and perceived value.
If the prize was similar to this one, I think the challenge would be taken more seriously:

I am wondering how difficult it is to implement HSA when CPU and GPU is connected via PCI bus. It should be easy for SOCs with everything inside the same die, but for combination like Intel CPU + NVIDIA GPU it will be a long shot.
It depends on a lot of factors, but most people making that level will probably pay a total of about 30-40% in taxes. Health insurance will almost always be provided at this type of job.
I took oppurtunity of the deal and bought books on machine learning and visualization and realized that I unwittingly bought the same book twice:

* Data Visualization with D3.js
* Data Visualization with d3.js

There's no way of reveresing this now but I do feel a bit silly.
The title (which I think used to say "super computer") seems misleading to me. "Computer generated" to me implies that it's the product of a simulation, which wouldn't interest me much (who cares about visualization of one possible set of wind patterns?).

The fact that this is data based on measurements in the past few hours (according to the Slate link) makes this much more interesting to explore.
I don't really care for it myself but I think one thing is that they are creating a culture that is disinclined to acting as you describe (ie, salary pumping).
Did you notice how that study didn't control for anything? Like say, the reasons that fathers were seeking sole custody? Fathers virtually only seek sole custody when the mother is abusive or grossly negligent. In cases where the mother is not abusive or negligent, fathers almost always accept minimal joint custody as they feel it is what is best for the children. The fact that people throw this around as some sick attempt to portray fathers are not caring about their children and the courts being totally fair is disgusting.
I'm cool with that -- I don't know WHERE. As above, looks like github is a no go. I am primarily an embedded developer, a lot of the software only makes sense if it has specific hardware to go with it.
i'm not sure what you mean about better support for pointers.

I recall averting what would have been a rather opaque security weakness by pointing out that occasionally someone would goof and vary the default locale of some JVM instances. (With a particular knock-on effect that I'll omit here.)

Paying attention to the system you'll land on is something that can go lost even to senior developers. And, therein, details, details, details...

Another reason to have a strong ops (or devops) team: Providing/enforcing proper, intended, and thoughtful context and runtime.

P.S. As I now recall, there was also the use case for locale to deliberately vary, although that use case / those instances should have remained orthogonal to those of other locales. Nonetheless, one more possible driver of a mistake that would enable this weakness to occur.
One of the problems is that a mid-size business jet (say Citation X or Gulfstream V/G550)costs as much to fly as a regional airliner like a Embraer E170/190($10k+/Hour) due to engine design optimization and is only marginally faster than the E170 in flight time assuming both fly non-stop.

Smaller business jets don't have the fuel range to do a coast-to-coast flight non-stop with passengers. E170/190s can be fitted with auxiliary tanks for coast-to-coast corporate shuttle flights.
People interested in improving their public speaking skills should really consider joining their local Toastmasters club. Becoming a good public speaker takes a lot of learning, practice and good feedback..

Editing to expand on this: Toastmasters is a non-profit organization. In Toastmasters you follow a structured program to improve your public speaking skills, initially working through some canned speaking assignments to focus on specific skills, and over time working on more complex projects. As an example, you may work on structure in one project and something like vocal variety in another.

A big part of Toastmasters is feedback so you will get good feedback on how you're doing and where you can improve and you will also learn how to give others feedback.

Since the local clubs are run by the members there are also many general leadership training opportunities in a Toastmasters club. Someone will be in charge of doing PR (VP PR) or taking care of many other things that are required to have a healthy club (which is not unlike running a mini-business).

There is a minor "cultish" feel to it and a few semi-weird customs (e.g. clapping at the end of a speech) but all in all it's good fun and a great way to improve many skills a lot of us don't get to practice in our day to day engineering life...

I guess the issue is the full version of the quote:

"If you can't imagine different use profiles that make certain multi-processing paradigms better suited than others, then you shouldn't be having this discussion"

That was the first time you've proposed the topic! I didn't imagine it because you hadn't actually brought up the subject. I asked you specifically what you needed. And already you've told me not to speak to you about it.

How about: "well in games which need single copies of large in-memory assets a multi-process setup wouldn't work due to copy latency"?

Seriously. You're not very good at discussing things with people.

Perhaps you were a Perl person - who, in general, doesn't create high performance games - avoiding Python for typical Perl task because of lack of multiprocessing?

I'm just showing that you (and others) can solve the multicore issue quite easily with a couple of well known modules.

And you tell me not to talk to you because I didn't anticipate you wanted to talk about /video gaming/?

There's a stereotype of early 2000's Perl people: misanthopes who discuss LARTing, hitting users with 'cluesticks' etc. You're reenforcing it.
How does PCI compliance not cover these things? Is Target liable for losses here?

It would seem to me that if you can't secure the data, you shouldn't keep it (which is the reason I use stuff like Stripe . I don't want to see the card number).
> Also, GP is conflating the issues of (1) fetching dependencies, (2) building a project, (3) installing the project. Makefiles aren't inherently evidence against "go get"; there is no reason that "go get" couldn't call "make" instead of "go build" (which it does).

Go get conflates those issues. It fetches dependencies, builds the project, and installs it.

You don't need Makefiles, you're right. You need a script that sets GOPATH and calls "go build".

The most important thing is to not depend on the whims of somebody else's repository. In the best case, they'll push an update and break your code for a while. In the worst case, they'll delete their repo; then you get to find your local copy, push it to github, and change all your source files to point to that.

Heaven help you if other people want to fork your project. Say I wrote "github.com/jff/bigproject", which depends on my package "github.com/jff/mypackage". Now, if Joe wants to fork the package and make a tweak, he also has to fork the main project and change all of its imports to point to github.com/joe/mypackage so he can compile and test it. Of course he can't very well push that, he'll have to revert the import changes again assuming I accept his pull request for mypackage. I've dealt with this in real practice when we had 3 people working on a project which imported 3 other packages. We were forever dealing with build failures and changed import paths and of course could hardly do a pull from one fork to another. It was hell.

Better to distribute the entire workspace, with src/ containing all the packages you need and nothing else.

Quite. Bloodlust is a dangerous thing, but total pacifism is still a fairly radical idea that I don't think many people actually buy into when the rubber meets the road. Pacifism has claimed few victories, suggesting that historic incidents could have been better solved with pacifism is a good way to make yourself look very silly very quickly.

Pacifism is a tool, not a silver bullet. For revolutionaries and reformationists, there is no silver bullet.
Neither Ken nor Rob actively work on the compilers today. There are about 6 people in the Go community that regular hack on the compiler, yet the project has more than 100 active contributors. One goal of this change is to make the compiler sources more accessible to them.
The title of this post is strange. This seems more like the future of JavaScript views than the future of models or controllers.

I don't see a large movement to immutable data structures on the horizon in JS. I can appreciate the performance implications in Om, and would be interested in using React + Mori to the same end, but I'm not sure that it would keep me from having mutable data structures to represent most of my application state.

There are so many now-solved problems in JS MVCs that were a complete trainwreck several years ago - client-side routing, sanely managing data, and intelligently organizing your code base - that all assume mutable data structures and traditional object-oriented paradigms.

This might be the future of ClojureScript (in fact, it should be the future of CLJS, as it's much more elegant than any other view solution I've seen for it), and functional data structures may be a clever way to optimize the DOM, but this certainly doesn't seem like the future of JavaScript to me.

How to make a hoverboard in real life?
Thanks!

The secret sauce is that you can animate CSS transforms every requestAnimationFrame without breaking out of React's natural data flow.

So we declaratively express the UI as a function of a single float which represents the scroll position (i.e. how open/shut the nav is or what position in the photo viewer you're at).

When we do that, we can use the excellent Zynga Scroller touch gesture physics engine (reverse engineered from iOS) to do the touch gesture stuff, then we can declaratively rotate, fade and translate everything as a function of this float.

Code is on github! And is actually in a reusable library!
PHP has so many more problems than that, though. I don't think it's worth the effort. It'd be like replacing the rotting floorboards of a house that has mold spores in every corner and a caved-in roof.
I don't get it, why does the hoverboard continue hovering after the hanger is removed?
I'm not sure I agree with the advice to write out your talk in complete sentences. I think you'd be tempted to memorize the talk. In grad school, we gave lots of technical talks. There was one guy who wrote everything out, and he gave by far the worst talks in the department. He sounded like he was reciting something, rather than just speaking. He would pause awkwardly when he forgot where he was in spewing out his text. It was just painful to watch.

I think it is far better to know what you're going to say by practicing your talk out loud, a number of times. You have your main points in your head, but your delivery will be a bit different each time. That way you can sound loose and natural.
this is a reminder that prizes or cash for breaking crypto products is a silly PR stunt. mega did the same thing, ended up paying out some money, then their product is "secure" by the same sort of argument. same deal with cryptocat and several other cryptoturds.

i do find it amusing to hear moxie ranting about how much better textsecure is when the license on it is such shit. can't argue with the fact that it's open source, but there is no point in contributing the codebase due to the licensing.

> Om never does any work it doesn't have to: data, views and control logic are not tied together. If data changes we never immediately trigger a re-render - we simply schedule a render of the data via requestAnimationFrame.

Ember.js has done this since day one with the Run Loop. Additionally it allows to coalesce operations yourself if you need control.

Angular also would not update the DOM as many times as the backbone example as it uses dirty checking to get around this problem.
any clue how many active users monthly?
Do you have a link to this? I'm surprised that a large chain retailer would have a wireless POS. It's not like they move terminals around, why would you need wireless anyway?

Ah, I missed this part. Thanks
there are far fewer vendors behind HSA than SPIR. AMD and ARM seem to be pushing it hard (and argue it compliments rather than competes with SPIR). but it's just muddying the waters.

hmm, you'll need to be specific about what OpenCL lacks, as there are a lot of tools out there (and a lot of them support CUDA as well)
Thanks. And haha... it happens.

Just very tiny tiny thing: those tables ought to be sortable, that would have been great. I will be looking around, thanks.

I agree that the physical use of gold does not explain its price by itself. Two things though: First of all, the physical use of gold is undeniable, and it's plausible that a sort of "bubble" -- perhaps not quite the right term given how stable that bubble is -- bootstrapped from this physical value.

Second, from what I understand, the first gold coins that were intended as currency were made of gold precisely because gold was already valued for other reasons. I do know that historically speaking, the value of gold coins was usually unrelated to the price of their gold contents, so it is true that they played the role of an IOU. However, (a) there is a reason why governments chose gold rather than a different material (psychology based on the pre-existing value of gold), and (b) throughout the ages, gold was also used as a payment-commodity in trade.

That latter use is probably overstated by the goldbugs, but it would be wrong to dismiss it entirely.
So the violence of the ANC didn't end the violence of Apartheid, and the violence of the Allies didn't end the violence of the Axis?

edit: I'd submit that it was the violence of their respective systems upon their non-violent protests that is responsible for anything Gandhi and MLK achieved.
I'm really happy to see companies offer equity vs higher salary. As someone is almost 30 (read: less willing to take the chance that equity will result in future money), I feel that's a great choice to offer employees.
Yeah, I think it's rather misleading to compare om to the performance of the least optimized and most naive (on purpose, mind you) framework instead of a more robust one.
OP doesn't acknowledge that downloads may have peeked. I used to download quite a bit but haven't in over a year due to the supreme advantage of streaming.
I'm not great at reading ClojureScript - but I'd really like to port some of the optimizations from Om, such as the rendering on requestAnimationFrame and usage of shouldComponentUpdate to Backbone.LayoutManager[1]. Swannodette, if you're around, do you have a minute to give a more in-depth explanation of how that works?

But you CAN trade Bitcoins for things, not just currency.

You can trade Bitcoins directly for more hardware to mine Bitcoins. So it IS a reversible transaction, and Bitcoins are DIRECTLY (not indirectly) valued at approximately the cost of mining and distribution.

Don't confuse "indirect value" with "indirect measurement of value". They are different things.
This reads to me like you think only women are or can be feminists. So let me give you my perspective:

To the extent there are institutional barriers that prevent women from being able to get those jobs if they want them, those barriers should be torn down. But the reason that's not happening as fast isn't because women don't want those jobs, it's because no one wants those jobs. So for my part, I'm more concerned with the social factors -- gender, but more likely class politics -- that lead to anyone needing to do shitty dangerous work who doesn't really want to.

In brief, if society would collapse without them, we should be paying them a lot more, not relying on bullshit machismo and a lack of options. I consider that a feminist position.
I wonder how hard it would be (for me) to take php and change all function names to be consistent. All PascalCase and spelled out (no awful abbreviations). Then download the documentation and change it there as well.
I gave my first talk this year, and I find this very backward.

I gave a talk because I had something to talk about that I thought other people would be interested int.
I chose the venue/event those people would be at as they would benefit most from my talk.

The 'Learn from your talk' segement is great, but what I wanted to 'learn' from my talk, was not only 'how to give a better talk', but I wanted to know from the audience what they're thoughts were on the topic. That one might be specific to different subjects, but the first two I'd hope would be obvious for any presentation.
there are fewer vendors behind it.

nvidia certainly do treat OpenCL as a second class citizen, and it's incredibly frustrating. however, Intel are very interested in OpenCL, it's their preferred programming model for the Phi..
ding ding ding!

you have won the prize! expecting anything to be secure on a mobile device is a serious mistake.

in some ways, textsecure and redphone actually induce behavior that puts people at risk: no amount of encryption can make a mobile device safe.

the only possible exception to this is a device that is built from zero and has fully in-house gsm stack, etc.
The article makes more sense from that perspective. The idea that ops needs should be planned and responsibilities designated makes sense. Otherwise it's easy to end up with fragile systems that are no one person's responsibility.

They mention the compatibility of the projects unit tests with their own testing so perhaps WordPress has some things in their test setup that didn't fit. They mentioned CakePHP as another example that wasn't included.
Yes, I understand why companies do it. They don't want people to know when they are under/overpaid.

What I don't understand is why people don't talk about it. If you tell and you learn you are overpaid then you feel good. If you learn you are underpaid, well, time to go negotiate/look elsewhere.

Do people think they ARE their salary? It's simply money that some people arbitrary decided to pay you...
Bitcoin does need credibility. Not in the abstract 'if everyone believes it is worth something then it is worth something' way, but in the sense that for Bitcoin to survive, it needs to be usable at a wide variety of merchants. Merchants aren't going to adopt some clown-car currency where a dozen or so flawed rumors come piling out whenever you mention the word Bitcoin to somebody.
There are benchmarks comparing vanilla React to other frameworks:
http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/#todomvc-benchmarks

At least according to this data, React and Backbone are the fastest. (Om is faster than vanilla React)

One suspects that with hand-optimization the other frameworks could be a lot faster, but the point of this post is that it is fast without hand-optimizations.
