KeePass is a bad example. It's a Windows Forms app. If they wanted to properly support Linux, they could continue to share most of their C# code, but write a tailored UI using something like GTK#.

You don't want to make those connections early by arrangement, because they would be more difficult to make later on voluntarily?
I don't agree. You should probably have a weak preference for storing unused code only in VCS, but if you think something will be needed soon I don't think it makes sense to delete it - c.f. "You should never keep values in cache. That's what disk is for."
This is cool marketing but it is way expensive than I expected. I am not sure pricing is DIY-friendly but you would certainly find people to buy that.
This was a tough one to condense into a short title. The point about it being treated as art was more referring to the fact that it would be toured around like exhibit rather than the album itself being art. I agree, all music should be treated as art, but not all music is.

Any questions he had he could ask me and I would nudge him along, but it was 90% his determination that got him to where he's at now. Having a mentor helps. I hope at least someone is inspired by jennifer or my brother, it can be done and an insane amount of time! You just need the cojones.
They have a very small limit to how many pickups they can cancel, though.
I hope one day there's a command line package manager that works with both DPKG and RPM. Something tells me that will expose the real reason people stick with one over the other; remembering the package manager syntax. I feel no great allegiance to one side or the other, there's nothing of real merit I can differentiate them on, the only real result of the split is package maintainers duplicating work.
How would that differ from duplicating any other album without permission? (Unless the buyer also buys the right to distribute copies.)
What do you mean by "your code is no longer in the repo"?
I understand you personally feel this way, but research has shown that this is not the case, and I think it makes sense.

It has been proven that our society is full of gender and racial biases, and to fight them we need to accept this fact so we can have a sensible plan of attack. Apparently we can't just make those biases disappear by wishing them away. It is easier to dismantle them by first fighting the symptoms. If you just tell people to ignore their biases, you will ask them to ignore their personal day-to-day experience, and that's asking a lot. It's hard for people to believe one thing if what they see around them goes against that belief. To change beliefs we must first change the experience.
Why use (and advertise) "High Modulus Epoxy" as the bonding agent for the wood version? High Modulus means stiff, and unbending - i.e., crack instead of bend, and in bonding wood to aluminum, a lower modulus resin would be better for this case, as it would flex when stressed and not cause a snap-off delamination?
Wow, that's pretty neat. Reminds me of Plan 9's Acme editor and IPython Notebook.
I'm aware of processing fees, to avoid it you can simply cut a check or do a bank transfer from your personal account when donating.

But I'm also pretty sure a non-profit can write off processing fees so it's not really an issue.

How would the employee get tax write off if the money is send to your company which is not registered as 501(c)?

For example if you claim a deduction on your taxes and get audited, would IRS be cool with 'I send money to XYZ which is not a 501(c) but they send it to actual charity, I swear'.

Offering receipt of donation to every company employee would work (I think), but I'm not sure if you are doing that?
I've been working a website called YumHacker since I've finished the 180 project. It's a restaurant discovery app using Rails as an API on the back end and Backbone.js on the front end. I learned a lot with the 180 websites project and working on a full scale app has been really great for taking my skills to the next level.

Making myself publicly accountable was definitely a great motivator but my biggest take away was getting over the fear of being wrong/judged.

This is pretty rambling. Can someone summarize it?
Congratulations! YumHacker is coming along nicely!
Doh they something changed... when I posted that comment the full article was readable.
Nope, in fact, that's precisely one of the avenues mentioned in other articles. That perhaps a major label or a large, unrelated brand will buy it to distribute it either for sale or for promotional purposes. Like, drop into a Puma store, the only place you can listen to the album, sorta thing.
Rubbish, of course.

But you're right in that it's becoming popular. Hiding a complex process behind a single number is oh so enticing.

I've seen people submit a series of single-letter doc spelling fixes, each as a separate commit, to inflate the "activity" of both their projects ("Look! We've had over 2,000 commits! Project's HOT!") and themselves.

You may not be grumpy, but having many short questions with a sarcastic tone ("cute") or negative slant comes across very aggressively.

"At the present time, only operational International Space Station activities have been excepted."

I'm guessing this means that we're still flying astronauts up on the Soyuz.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that this ultimately will give NASA the drive to rebuild its manned spaceflight capability. I don't have high expectations, though.
To be fair, even Microsoft doesn't use the binary size of their applications as a measure of their capabilities. Yes, they are ginormous, but they aren't advertising "Windows 8: The Binaries are Bigger, so It Must Be Better!"
love the app suggestions. especially the one for visual brainstorms.
> A9 core rather than the virtualization-ready A15? (I'd rather have a 64-bit ARM but those are still a ways out)

There aren't really many choices. Samsung has A15 cores, but it's probably hard to get and there's _no_ documentation. The same for Nvidia Tegra. Not sure how easy it's to get OMAP5, and how expensive.

The i.MX6 SoC is probably the developer friendliest one, has very good documentation, and it has support for lots of stuff.

> 100 Mbit Ethernet in the Year Of Our Lord Two Thousand Fourteen?

Read carefully. One of those ports is 1Gbit (due to SoC limitations only 480Mbps though). The other one seems to be connected via USB 2.0. One could have put an Intel PCIe Gigabit Ethernet chip on the board, but the PCIe slot is probably better used for WiFi.

It's pricy, but I don't think they are able to produce them for fewer money, like HP/Samsung with their $400 Chromebooks.
I had a Roku and returned it. Amzn Fire TV doesn't seem much better. I'm sticking with PS3 for now, the only thing that can stream Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Instance Video and what not.

Looks great! Out of curiosity, why go with the hub/node approach using ZigBee for sending such a small amount of data? There are WiFi modules like TI's CC3000 (http://www.ti.com/product/cc3000) available for very low cost that would make separate hub hardware unnecessary. This is the product used in Spark Core (https://www.spark.io/), for example. I imagine there are a few different reasons why you might spring for a hub-based solution despite the higher cost, but just wondering what your thinking is.

There are reasons to sit in front of a couple large non-touch displays attached to an uncompromising $5000+ computer. But that's for the <5% that need that and they know who they are.

The other 95% will benefit from being freed from their veal cubicles and looking up at human faces while walking around.

As for mouse vs touch etc. I agree, I think. Microsoft should have made a touch OS that isn't Windows. They might get Windows fully evolved to span that gap about the time Android takes away the enterprise business.
It's definitely not the same search
Thanks for actually reading the comment and not jumping on the "this guy is a racist!" bandwagon just because it is something I don't want to hear.
I use a technology called ZigBee. It's a wireless protocol made for Internet of Things devices. This part represent about 60% of the production cost. This chip is expensive but gives years of battery life.
Curious about what price did you expected?
John Frusciante releases latest album ENCLOSURE via Satellite SAT-JF14
On March 29th, 2014, ENCLOSURE was loaded onto an experimental Cube Satellite called Sat-JF14 and launched into space aboard an Interorbital Systems’ NEPTUNE Modular Rocket.

Beginning today, March 31st, fans from around the world can download the free, custom-built Sat-JF14 mobile application which will enable users to track Sat-JF14’s movement in real time. When Sat-JF14 hovers over a users’ geographic region, ENCLOSURE will be unlocked, allowing users to listen to the album for free on any iOS or Android mobile device. Sat - JF14 also supports an integrated social chat platform giving fans the ability to communicate with one another after listening to the music. The album preview will last until midnight on April 7th, at which point Sat-JF14 will cease transmission.

On April 8th, 2014, Record Collection will release ENCLOSURE, the 11th full-length album from John Frusciante.
In that there is no way to argue that the artist lost sales due to the copies, thus, no harm made.
> The level of stupidity of all the set-top boxes I've used is staggering. I sit there and use a tiny keyboard to type in B-R-E-A and get tons of hits for things nowhere close to Breaking Bad until I practically type out the whole title.

I'd settle for a non-braindead mobile or desktop client, I don't even need voice. I have a Sony Blu-Ray/Internet box whose remote app on iOS is literally the same up-down-left-right pad the remote has, but you have to swipe just right to get it to register. Why not just give me the same menu options the box has, but in a reasonable mobile device metaphor? I can't tap "Services" -> "Hulu" -> "TV Shows" -> type "SNL"; I have to navigate the set-top box's menu while trying to look at my phone at the same time. Mind-bogglingly bad.

Everyone is focused on just extending the status quo by granting marriage benefits to more people rather than first asking if having the benefits makes sense and/or what's the purpose and is it working?

Applying what's happening with the marriage discussion to the illegal substance arena, without taking a moment to pause and reflect, we'd be clamoring for extending and banning alcohol and more substances instead of considering repealing bans on some/other drugs (marijuana in particular).

I don't think metro itself is very good, and, like I said, I don't use it.

I would have to guess he's talking about bulletproof coffee. I honestly looked at his face on the Kickstarter page and said to myself "this one I don't trust" before I even read this comment. Not sure if I recognized him, but I heard of Bullet Proof Coffee and, as an overweight person and Bitcoin proponent, went back and read the comments and instantly felt myself in that familiar hopeful being scammed mindset.

There is also the Go approach, which is your code is platform independent, but you need to compile it for each platform. You get native code that is portable, best of both worlds. (Some might argue "Good C" can do this, but that is often quite hard and C doesn't have the kind of stdlib that Go has..)

Open Source Ansible Book
Come to think of it, I don't think I've used any platform where main() is the real entry point to the executable. On Linux the real entry point is _start, all of the bare-metal embedded stuff I've touched does a whole bunch of hardware setup in crt0 before it calls main(), etc...
I see this as regressive, not progressive. It is a regression to a time before recorded music, when the only way to listen to music was to attend a live performance. That appears to be what they want, and I understand the inherent romanticism in that, but I don't want to go back to that time.

Live music is amazing, but it is also a rare treat. (For me; I assume that many people here hear live music regularly.) Perhaps they want to force their work to be a rare treat. But I spent an hour last night, after lifting, just sitting on my couch with my iPad, listening to the punk music that was my soundtrack to high school. It was amazing, and made possible because of the ease of recording, distributing and listening to digital music.

Although, something to consider is that they must realize that once they start hosting these listening sessions, bootleg recordings will crop up. Perhaps they are counting on that, and this will be a way to have their cake and eat it too: their lone physical copy will remain special because it is the only real copy, but everyone will hear the music through the bootlegs, which will gain notoriety for being the only way to hear the "unique" recording.
It depends. R has many, many more packages and those packages tend to be more extensively peer-reviewed. If the sort of analysis you are doing wanders out of the mainstream, you are less likely having to code something up from scratch than is the case with python/*. I also find R is a lot more enjoyable to use interactively and for exploring data than python. On the other hand, python is fantastic for larger pieces of code, data wrangling, and any tasks where you can make use of python's massive number of (non-statistical) modules.
Not obviously. I'm pretty sure they could sell 5M copies at a buck apiece. Even in these dark days of record sales, they could probably make more than $5M with mass distribution.
Case Study: A Failed MVP
Can't argue with the sentiment. And considering "numbers" I'd say you're right about privileged kids getting 4.0 easy, but it can't build character. Maybe I myself am an outlier (as I've had my own hardships), but I'm willing to accept I may be wrong, statistically.

Freedom Fries, Part 2
Yes, well -- and I suppose I should add that I'm not advocating for an environment in which keeping commented-out code around is a good idea. Just suggesting that there could exist situations in which it is a reasonable thing to do.

I've increasingly been noticing that a lot of really good development practices make sense if you're starting from scratch and can employ them right away, but sometimes if you've got years or decades of legacy code and legacy process (and code that was written as the result of legacy process) to deal with, the right thing to do isn't always so clear.

(I've unfortunately/fortunately been working some recently on a very large, very old code base that mostly doesn't need updating. Trying to unravel its mysteries enough to add a new feature has been an interesting experience.)

The database product sounds like dBase. If so, certainly management focus was also a factor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton-Tate#dBASE_IV:_Decline_a... attributes it to a push for Diamond.

My 8 year old would eat it up. He LOVES his iPad games. If he can plan on the TV with his friends, he would be thrilled.

And I'd be fine dropping $99 for a box and < $5 for games.
It has a USB port - what's that for? Think they might add a plug-in Blu-ray drive accessory?

Not only the lag, but if you're looking at your TV screen, you can't effectively use the iPhone/iPad screen as a controller, unless it's super simple.
In such case punitive damages would probably be awarded. At least that would be the common sense thing to do.

I can confirm that this is so true. At one place I worked I wasn't allowed to program in C, but did the C code reviews[1].

I was riding in a car with buddies who were much better C programmers than myself and making notes on some code I needed to do the review of the next morning. This is the code pattern that almost crashed our car:

a = some_function(i);
a1 = &a;
a2 = &a1;
calc(a2);

with calc() reversing it out

I was cussing a bit much[2] and front seat passenger had to look then driver got too curious. Sadly, this was the least "wrong" thing about the code. Its very hard to do a code review where you suggest 500 lines of C can be reduced to 50.

1) cannot have the guy doing code reviews actually coding, that would be improper

2) cussing in private allows positive, motivational tone in public
