I'd agree that there is a place for complicated detail work in mathematics, but I don't think that's really what mathematics is about.

It's more about finding good conjectures, and realizing which theorems and lemmas are actually worth proving, because they say something interesting about the topic.

By analogy, it's certainly important to understand complex grammar, have a large vocabulary, etc in order to be a writer, and develop a good sense of word choice, but that's not really what writing is about; writing is fundamentally about the process by which we tell a story using these tools.
Importance of cashflow management for Startups
I really enjoyed this because it captures so much of the frustration that felt early in my programming career - especially in college when I had classmates several years my junior who were (as far as I could tell) mathematics and programming wunderkinds. I also think that this is the sort of rhetoric that should be used to begin teaching children basic mathematics and more advanced concepts as well, because I still recall many of my classmates in elementary and even highschool who simply felt like failures or that they weren't smart enough to understand things because they didn't "get" it the first, or fourth, or fiftyth time.
Yes, you can, but that doesn't read very well to my eyes, given most function names. if(open()), if(read()), if (CreateWindowExW()), all suggest success to me.

if (!open(...)) goto fail;

if (!read(...)) goto fail;

if (!close(...)) goto fail;

reads a lot nicer to me. Although, the reality is that you need to assign to an error variable, which makes it not as nice and clean.

I'm actually OK with this. To shadowfiend's point, this is more than just a webfont or an SVG library. They're clearly focused on targeting the web component market, with baked-in icon "states" and the delivery of specific glyphs based on context. Seems really neat!
I'd be a lot more worried about the danger you mention if you could give even one example of that happening, ever. What ideas are mathematicians confusing each other into accepting that are basically nonsensical?
For some people it is, I used to use CodeKit too (and I've used the beta) but at the moment I prefer using Grunt/Gulp, it provides me with more control over the building and others can use it easily by doing npm install.

But I assure you that there's definitely a market for tools like this.
A DIY Biotech Crowdfunding Campaign
SVN. It actually won via a killer library/app - TortoiseSVN.

But it was cleaned up, and mostly incompatible - after all all the commands had changed from cvs to svn :)

A cleaned up PHP would be interesting but it would need a truly killer app. Basically make a PHP clone except for the bad parts. I'd say that the killer app would be a very to use framework that provided various security best practices already built in.

And a PHP clone would need a 0 installation process - no messing around with shell commands or root access. Just copy your .phpclone files and you're set to go.

Native American Tribe Adopts Bitcoin As Official Currency
King.com was generous enough to point out that their target demographic for CCS is middle aged women. 80% of their players are women, only 34% of their players are under the age of 30, and only 9% are under the age of 21.

The crux of the article is that people under 25 are particularly susceptible to tricks used to get people to pay for in-game items. To refute that, King would have to say something along the lines of, "x% of our revenue comes from middle aged women". To say, "x% of our players are middle aged women" doesn't at all address the point brought up in the article.

For example, it could be possible that only 34% of CCS players are under 30 but still be responsible for 90% of CCS revenue.

The best part is that those nominations are useless. Nobel prizes have no transparency on this, or as the article says "nominations are kept secret for 50 years".
Whitebox crypto, by itself, doesn't protect against this attack. What you end up doing is lifting the decryption code (wholesale, machine code level) from the SnapChat app and run that in your SnapChat decryption app. Your whitebox crypto code must now have anti-tamper defenses like hashing the rest of the SnapChat code to make sure it is there.

I'm going to be rather dismissive in my reply, and for that, I apologize, because I'm not quite sure how else to respond.

This is more or less a non-issue. Thanks to mathematicians building on Euclid for the last 2300 years, we have a system of mathematics built on a few basic principles (that you would not disagree with) and deductive reasoning. If you take a theorem that is accepted as proven, you can almost definitely follow an immense chain of logic back to the fundamentals. It will take you a ridiculous amount of time to do so, but it is possible.

If you're referring to specific debates in the math community (e.g. "I feel that the general math community accepting the axiom of choice was a bad idea") then that's worth being specific about in your post.

The article is not a justification; it's merely an exposition of the latest manipulation technique employed by them (and others).

It should be noted she never uses the word "evil" or any such synonym. The claim is that LEGO is an indifferent entity that tries to manipulate people into buying their stuff religiously, and the article demonstrates the latest form of such manipulation. Whether that's "evil" is left to you, even if the author clearly has an opinion on the subject.
I don't see that she stated outright or even implied that LEGO was evil, as such. Just an overpriced, indifferent corporate empire with brilliant, unnerving meta-marketing. I would say that meta-marketing is the focus of the article, with the LEGO movie merely being the centerpiece. And I'm really not sure where you got "apparently LEGO is being held responsible for girls liking pink now" - the only reference to pink was a quote from the movie in question.

I run a Django app on AWS Ubuntu machines managed by Chef. I have my own chef server, but you could also do hosted Chef to avoid the extra infrastructure.

Basically chef bootstraps the node from EC2, since you can only give it an initial keypair. Chef server will SSH into your box and install user accounts, the firewall, the webserver, tweak some settings (like mounting EBS volumes, restricting SSH, etc), install virtualenv and python. We use fabric to deploy, and that's when the code installs Django and whatnot in the virtualenv, as well as put the code on the machine.

Can't tell you if Chef is the best option. It's what I've been learning but it does have some rough edges. Finding the "right" cookbook is hard, because Opscode's listing isn't always the best. If you have concerns about using any particular setup to keep your environment homogenous (e.g. all init, upstart, runit, or supervisor) you'll have to put in quite a bit of work.

No, the OP is giving bad advice.

Reading good foundational text books carefully
is darned good advice. But for solving every
exercise before moving on, no, that's not a
good idea. Instead, be willing to be happy
solving some 90-99% of the exercises. For the
rest, guess, with some evidence, that they are
incorrectly stated, out of place, just too darned
hard, or some such. If insist on solving 100%,
then get on the Internet and look for solutions.

Next, if read some foundational text books, then
in each subject also
read several competing text books, perhaps just one mostly but also
look at least a little at the others for views
from 'a different angle' that can be a big help.
Why? Because likely no text book is perfect and,
instead, in some places is awkward, unclear,
misleading, clumsy, etc. So, views from a
'different angle' can make it much easier to
learn both better and faster.

His description of doing applications by just
getting what really need and forgetting the rest
can be done but is not so good. Instead, having
a good foundation helps a lot. And, commonly
for an application in an important field, there
really is some good material in that field that
should understand with the application. Else
risk doing the application significantly less
well than could have.

His description from Wiles is more or less okay
for doing some research but, really, not for
learning. And for research, more of a 'strategic'
overview, i.e., with the 'lay of the land',
would be good, i.e., for publishing not
just one okay, likely isolated,
paper but a series of better papers
that yield a nice 'contribution'.
That's exactly my point - two cases that made the front page on two nerd sites doesn't substantiate the claim that

"By all indication anything relating to computers, hacking or security research is considered one of the "worst" crimes in the USA. Hackers seem to be getting longer sentences then career criminals these days."

The mere fact that there are just two such cases, and that everybody recites the same two cases when making such gross exaggerations as the one above, reinforces my point about living in an echo chamber.
"meta" in art and literature was more of a 20th century thing, even an early 20th thing (as you can see in the work of the Avant-gardes) and you can find a lot of earlier examples, at least in literature, maybe most notably through books that experimented with diegesis.

I think it's just coming back in fashion in ways that are both a lot more naive (in their content and their approach) and more sophisticated (in their forms and that of the subcultures that they use as a substrate) than what the 20th saw.
In the Eastern Bloc, in the '80s there was a new small fab being built to produce PROMs, PLDs and clone CPUs. Although the country in question was never charged with computing (as opposed to, say DDR, Bulgaria) it actually was onto FPGAs in stealth.

Obviously, it was burnt to ashes the next day, and Lloyd's paid out. One wonders, if somebody was funding Lloyd's, because this was practically guaranteed to happen given the circumstances.

This fits Salvia as well. Salvia Divinorum, for those who don't know, is another psychedelic.

Ignoring some of the obvious conversation points. As a developer I like posts like this and find them very useful.

The "last mile" to my neighborhood is actually underground. It's the feed to the community that's on poles

Every neighborhood within a 10 mile radius of my house is set up the same way. Poles on the main streets, underground into the cul-de-sacs.

About 2/3 of the homeowners in the community have given up and bought generators.

Eight years ago I bought a $250 gas "camping" generator. It has a peak of 4,000 watts. Running from the outdoor patio outside my walk-out basement, it's good enough to run a refrigerator, keep a computer and Internet going so I can work from home and keep cell phones charged. The recent ice storms we experienced on the East Cost left us without power for 3 days and reminded me how handy even a small generator can be.

I don't know what the situation in the UK is, but it is probably safe to say that, while possibly legally in the right, such a publication is risky in most jurisdictions.

Personally, what I'd do in such a situation is to contact a well-renowned hacker organization with experience in these matters (as for instance the CCC here in Germany) and ask for their assistance.

Alternatively, a tech publishing company could also be the right choice, preferably one with a legal department and experience in these things. He mentions that you should buy the issue of "Computer Active" that contains this article, so he probably took this route.
Given your tone, I do wonder whether this is something you observed or something that you wish to happen.

Personally I find the applications for a HUD to be endless, given enough time and polish.

This...is a criticism I can get on board with. It's interesting, they spent the time to add states to some of the icon sets, so why not add some ARIA roles and pressed states to cover all their bases. That would be an awesome precedent.
She doesn't use the word "evil", but her language implies it. For example, near the top "that’s when those Danes have us in their whimsical Scandinavian clutches forever". So she evokes the image of LEGO being some entity with "clutches" - sounds pretty evil to me.

Seems the author is not beyond using manipulation either.

"The claim is that LEGO is an indifferent entity that tries to manipulate people into buying their stuff religiously"

Really - are they not just a company trying to sell it's products? It seems to me the way you or the author words it is simply reframing that as something negative.

If the brand is "creativity is good, and you can actually build whatever you want with LEGO, not just the Star Wars model the evil empire suggests", where exactly is the problem? I'm pretty fine with such a brand.

Maybe they simply like their own product, and the enthusiasm shows in the movie?

I am not a LEGO expert - I am waiting for somebody to tell me why they are supposedly evil, other than them being successful? I just don't like articles that sort of imply that somebody who is successful has to be evil. It's also banking on the envy we all have in us. Yes it feels good to read such an article, makes us feel better about our own mediocrity. In fact, it being in the NYT, that is probably exactly the point of it: it's OK to be mediocre and never try to change the status quo, as long as you keep reading the NYT and click on it's ads. You're a loser, but hey, you are a better person.

From comments here, reactions and the obvious fact that none of the killer apps listed use the eye-level camera, I have to assume that putting that tiny hole next to the eye was a big mistake. People go used to cameras pinholes (because those go in your pocket) even their webcam (because they control it) but that one… doesn’t see to go.

Narrative (formerly Memoto) develops a similar pinhole: a clip-on camera meant to be worn all day long. It offers a lot of the benefits that people list (record keeping for legal or personal archives); they might need a button to snap, but they face none of the backlash Google has, while they record a lot more. Their product is much easier to ignore, because it doesn’t sit on your face.

Google could rapidly solve that by adding in the angle of Glass a collapsible pane, a tiny plastic shield that would swipe away & reveal, then back in front of & hide the pinhole; it could even act as a button for most of the camera action.

You grossly underestimate the number of solo/freelance web developers out there who just want to get to work on the project itself, instead of learning and setting up all those things (which may be overkill for their one-person project).

"Effort vs. Result" is an important metric, and Codekit lets you just "get it done" without needing to learn how to install and set up grunt or gulp, node (edit: and uglify-js, bower, image optimization tools, sass, less, stylus, compass, etc).. It just works.

And when Codekit becomes no longer appropriate then one can spend the time required to learn and configure grunt/gulp.
You're going too far.

How about labeling players with their names at a soccer/football game? I'm not that much of a fan, but watching live soccer games is fun and unfortunately I can't recognize the players by their shirt number or field position like die-hard fans can. And this takes away some fun from being on that stadium.

Or how about labeling points of interests when walking around in a foreign city? Speaking of which, Google Maps's walk directions could be interesting on Glass.

Also, I have a bad memory so related to what you've said - I tend to forget names, so it would be awesome if the HUD showed me the name of the person I'm talking with. I wouldn't need much, just their first name.

Basically it doesn't have to be an all creepy all invasive thing. With enough time and polish this could be useful and for tasks that don't intrude on people's privacy. With a red led signaling whether the camera is recording or not it would also take away the fear of talking with somebody wearing glasses. And after all, those glasses aren't the only way you can sneakily record somebody.
