Your edit is correct. Non-transcendentals are algebraic by definition, and the algebraic numbers are countable.
They probably don't have any programmers except one or two guys who brand the code with their messages and logo and such. Products like this are very often OEM'ed from another shop, who may OEM the code from one or more other shops. It's like sausage, and they might not have a clue what's in there.

I wonder what the effect would be of running a separate app that culled names from a school and having a drop down or something beside the name (and possibly statements) where others could log or checkmark statements such as "I didn't write this"; "I know this is not true"; "I support this person". For a high school age person a little support might mean a lot.

As an owner of one of these cameras I remember being appalled at how difficult it was to actually secure, how many settings needed to be changed, and how bad the defaults were. Foscam cameras are practically shipped open and insecure by default, and it's not a stretch to say that you need to be a security-minded technophile to figure out how to lock them down properly.

They make commercial routes look positively impregnable by comparison.

Not sure about this specific execution, but the idea of having a unified input surface is very appealing. 3D gestures have also been floating around, but seems like this is the closest I have personally seen to something that is close the current reality of computer use.

That said, the rotation of the image gesture seems overly confusing. Mouse or trackpad seem like they would be an easier way to go...

Honestly, I think it's much more simpler than that. Walking is an alone activity, and almost forces your mind to wander with no goal in sight. Plus, the rhythmic stepping is almost like meditation.
I've never been a fan of MVC (I've used it for both php/backbone.js and iOS). My main problem with it is that the functionality of model is obvious, view is obvious, but controller can be anything from "a model for multiple views" to some kind of delegate, to an extension of the model. I find it so nebulous that even today, I can't explain to someone with 100% confidence where the model ends and the controller begins in their application.

Contrast that with the front end/back end metaphor of the early internet, which was very easy for people to understand. It perfectly matched the way they had interacted with their bank, or command line tools, or even television. Hard to get much simpler than that!

I think where MVC went wrong is that it tried to bring a portion of the back end (the model) into the front end (the view) and call it a “controller” without effectively explaining what that meant. To me, backbone.js seemed like mainly a cache of the server. As in, there are a multitude of other ways to do what it does, from XMLHttpRequest, to a nested iframe, to just manually writing a bunch of javascript that encodes the controller. I found that it simplified the easy work of translating from a rest API to objects, but did almost nothing for the hard work of choreographing how all the parts worked together. I never got far with Angular.js but my impression of it is that it replaces one complex choreography for another.

My hunch is that the solution to all of this is a better data-object mapping that removes most of the code and works more like a graph, the way MS Access or Filemaker do, since most of the web is just CRUD apps anyway. The message passing of objective-c is an ok way to accomplish this, but it needs to be generalized and will probably work more like the Actor model:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model

So MVC will be replaced with automatons that run in their own sandboxes and interact with each other through explicitly specified channels, the way that Go works. A high level example of this is that you wouldn’t encode a select box to be enabled/disabled based on a boolean in some JSON, but that the select box would simply be inaccessible for certain data because its container actor would be in another state. If you think about this, it mirrors how unix works, with a set of very simple functions and permissions that dictate what can do what. I was first exposed to this style of programming in HyperCard back in the 80s, then later in Flash and Unity. One thing I would change about it today though is to remove the notion of time so that it works like MS Excel or functional programming, so that all of the states can be exercised and unit tests basically become an enumeration of all the states you want the program to arrive at.

These cameras aren't baby monitors per se, they're designed for surveilling a space. They have both a microphone for listening and a speaker for... shouting at ne'er-do-wells stealing your stuff, presumably.

Thank you. We can't catch every dupe, and this was a significant one.
It's a price and usability problem.

The basic functionality (SSL Client Certificates) is built in to all major browsers and servers. Enabling it up takes only a few hours and doesn't require any third-party software or hardware at all.

Actually getting your users to buy a smart card reader, find a card that has drivers for their browser/OS combination, buy that card, and spend half an hour setting it all up? Good luck with that.
I agree with you on the Chipotle experience, surprisingly well done.

Ambitious is right - I feel like the 8% is too steep a barrier to entry. If they launched it at 5% I could see it getting much higher adoption. Do you think it's as simple as "they can always drop it" or might a competitor outdo them on price and become the standard?

Maybe, but do they articulate what they mean by the "us," "our," and "we," in the below assertions?

The experience of men and women is 'a lot closer than any of us would expect,' she says.

Stemple concluded that we need to 'completely rethink our assumptions about sexual victimization,' and especially our fallback model that men are always the perpetrators and women the victims."

Those surveys turned up the opposite of what we generally think is true.

That even the points you call out are buried, neither of which answer the question I brought up, sets off my spidey-sense. "What does the author want to be true?"
Strange that the "swiping & pinch to zoom" gestures (starting at 41) are exactly opposite of how they work in an iPad.

I can understand swiping being backward - people can disagree about "move the camera" vs. "move the paper" - but pinch-to-zoom-in is wrong in all contexts.

ah, microsoft. you've got this cool research, but somehow you manage to make the usability all wrong. how did these people not notice that they implemented pinch-to-zoom backward from how it works on their phones?
That's what I miss the most from pre-Web 2.0 Internet, the Geocities era: there were a lot of small and manually curated sites (as opposed to news aggregators and SEO spam sites) on any kind of topic.

Now our only source of knowledge is Wikipedia, which is great per se, but the vast amount of knowledge it collects is very shallow, there's no real depth and passion in it.

I wonder if there's RSI implications when hands-off-keyboard gestures are used more than sparingly.
Also to note, it's often more performant to use translate3d instead of translate2d even if you only want a 2d animation because translate3d off-loads to the GPU.

Although I've heard of Fig, I just took a closer look for the first time. From the docs, the Docker provider is a super-set of it. Meaning: Vagrant + Docker can do everything Fig can do and then some. I may have missed some detail, but at the very least all of the major pieces are there.
I forgot to mention, the Phusion guys (who Mitchell mentions in the post and who create the excellent Passenger web server) have created some great assets for Vagrant and Docker:

https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker

https://github.com/phusion/passenger-docker (built on the baseimage above)

http://blog.phusion.nl/2013/11/08/docker-friendly-vagrant-bo...

And regarding role-based containers, Phusion's Hong Lai says:

"Wait, I thought Docker is about running a single process in a container?

Absolutely not true. Docker runs fine with multiple processes in a container. In fact, there is no technical reason why you should limit yourself to one process - it only makes things harder for you and breaks all kinds of essential system functionality, e.g. syslog.

Baseimage-docker encourages multiple processes through the use of runit."
No, because I need them to be visible to show their status.
What is interesting about this research is that, unlike in many psychological papers, the effect sizes are relatively large. That means that this research may actually have some practical consequences.

Although the authors do not report effect sizes directly it seems that, in many cases, walking shifted the distribution at least one standard deviation in a direction of higher creativity (that is a lot).

At the same time I wish the results were reported better, in many cases they do not even report the mean and standard deviation of different experimental groups.
I consider myself a feminist, so what's your point?
It reminded me a lot of Apple's Magic Mouse: https://www.apple.com/magicmouse/

So, it sounds like my post is still the more nonsensical. I'm not against any programmatic assistance. I am growing weary of the ones that require rather large stretches from the programmer to show dividends.

So, I would rather have a static analysis tool let me know that I am using data straight from the user, than I would generate a rather large type system that includes this. See GWT and the "SafeHtml" joy for an example of what sucks in programming.

Now, it can easily be argued that the problem there was Java not being quite strong enough, but even in languages like Scala, things can be difficult.

Of course, I have grown to love the Lisp world where people have pretty much agreed to write in the S expressions. Not because they are the most readable form, but because they really are ascii art of the structure of what you are trying to say.

So, yeah, I'm a jumble of conflicting feelings on this. :)
I was trying to do some searches on google maps to figure out whether they were specifically aiming for supercharger stations, or are there really no electric chargers on the way. With the cities by the end of the route and standard gas stations on the way, I was hoping to see some "electric char chargers" or similar point. Are they really missing, or am I looking for the wrong thing?

I'm used to seeing them in almost every mall / bigger parking these days so it looks unlikely they're missing completely. Basically I'm trying to decide if this article is simply anti-tesla (they seem to really concentrate on superchargers only), or is it describing poor availability of charging points in general.

The main point is having your keys secure from theft and loss.

No wallet software can keep your coins safe if it has to store your keys in the same machine you use for your internet activities. You have to use either an air-gapped machine (also called offline or cold storage) or multi-signature.

Then there's also the issue about trusting what you have downloaded. Even if you run the software in an offline machine, if it's meant to steal your coins it certainly can do it. Do you trust Electrum's developers or whoever reviewed the code? What about the maintainer of the website (or Github)? Did you use SSL? Did you check the signature? Did you get the signature from a different and secure channel?

For now I'm trusting Armory, but I'm planning to move to multi-signature once I have time, and maybe use three different wallets to create the keys.

Losing the keys is a separate issue. You have to think about different scenarios like disk failure, data decay, a fire in your house, your friend dying and their family not letting you recover his part of your n-of-m backup, police raid, etc.
This is a very insidious comment. You have actually committed the logical fallacy as your position is "All TDD proponents do X". When someone points out, no "Some TDD proponents do X and many of us TDD proponents think X is bad practice" you blame them of the No true Scotsman fallacy, when in reality your position is the one claiming a universal property about TDD.
Does anyone remember the FingerWorks keyboards that one could put into PowerBooks? Reminds me quite a bit of the stuff that they did with their multitouch keyboard.

I hadn't realized the cost of the superchargers stations was more or less known. If I'm honest, even the high-end estimate ($175,000) seems like a bargain for a largely self-sustaining station that's a major selling point for your vehicle platform. They may even get little communities around them, coffee shacks and the like. I would have guessed they cost half a million each, personally.

The Libertarians were pretty dominant online in the age of Usenet but the Left seems pretty dominant on Tumblr and Wikipedia among others. I find this part of the intro puzzling:

> If digital communication technology promotes leftist values, why has its spread coincided with such a stark decline in the Left’s political fortunes?

Um, WHAT stark decline? Can you give some metric that shows this "decline" as a tangible, measurable thing, or is this just a vague sense of nostalgia for a mythic past when the Left seemed actually radical, when it was fighting the establishment, before it became the establishment?

Various flavors of "the Left" currently control the presidency, most of the newspapers and television networks and universities and most of congress. Mandatory "universal health care" is now being inflicted upon the populace, which means we're finally at a point where every plank on the socialist party platform of 1928 has become law. So if there IS a decline, perhaps it's just that diminishing returns have set in on the whole project. But I'd still like to see the evidence.

As a side note, it's amusing the author doesn't realize "self-described entrepreneur" is Silicon-Valley-speak for "unemployed". :-)
Xerox Parc's GUI changed the world in the Macintosh and Windows, bringing computing to the masses.

The iOS-like GUI changed the world again in the iPhone, Android, and the iPad.

The reason they did is that they were better. Not because they were pretty. You seem to be convinced that these paradigms were not massive improvements on their predecessors. I'm not sure how you manage to maintain that view.

What makes them better is that they are visual in nature. Human beings have an immense amount of latent machinery to help us deal with visual things. Literacy, on the other hand, is an incredibly recent phenomenon. Interfaces that are based on words for communicating semantics instead of primordial visual cues like space, size, contrast, color, movement, etc., will never be able to compete on intuitiveness/ease-of-use/ease-of-learning.
Well I only cared about Composer and all his points were wrong.

I'm not here to get into another PHP debate. Non-phpers can waste all their time hating if they want, and then go fight with all the problems they have with outdated components like Bundler, create hacks to simulate features that are native in PHP and other OOP languages (eg: interfaces in ruby, abstract classes in python), etc. I'll just get things done in a professional manner using what seems to be the best web platform of our time and then enjoy life.
Less accurate "models" for "thinking about software" are less accurate, and whether they were thought of first or last has no bearing on that. The fact that you're using "earliest date of discovery" as supporting evidence demonstrates that you're not approaching the question as an objective observer.

This isn't a popularity contest, though if you were measuring popularity based on positive impact, that of Haskell has been substantial.

The only advantage to leveraging simpler and less accurate models is that they're easier for the people using them to understand at a micro scale -- at the cost of systemic accuracy and verifiability.

In being less accurate, they create systems that are more difficult to understand, more difficult to abstract and compose, more difficult to optimize, and more difficult to measure.

There's something destructive and anti-intellectual about trying to convince the world that deductive reasoning is just a matter of opinion.
AnimalMuppet, I was going to respond. But then it doesn't matter since you're an idiot
The main benefit of using CSS Transitions and Animations on the accelerated properties (transform & opacity) is that the animation will be run by the compositor (at least in WebKit browsers; I think Blink's new animation engine changes this).

Running the animation in the compositor means:

1. You avoid a style recalc on every frame (which can be a big deal).

2. The animation keeps running even if the WebProcess gets contended (by painting new content, handling slow JavaScript, GC).

It's fine to mess with transform and opacity from JavaScript, and for gesture handling you have to, so it needs to be fast, but it has more overhead than a CSS Animation would have.
With the rise of things like shodan this will probably become a lot more common until people either stop caring to exploit them or the vendors fix it.
