Where Will Your API Stand In The Oracle v Google API Copyright Debate?
Thanks for the recommendation! Do you know if he has done work for early stage startups before? Finding a lawyer who is great at startup things (incorporation, fundraising, options etc...) and marijuana law would be great but I'm expecting that I'll have to have two specialists for those very different fields.

Forget what I said earlier. I thought Widgy was a CMS, but it isn't. It's a page editor for a CMS.

In combination with Django CMS 3, this could be awesome. The Django CMS team have put a lot of effort into moving as much of the administration as possible into the front end. Widgy complements this with a slick drag-and-drop interface for adding and rearranging page content.
"The Long, Slow, SaaS Ramp of Death" (Gail Goodman, Constant Contact) http://player.vimeo.com/video/54076835

Really, most talks from Business of Software & MicroConf.
I am just amazed at the lies and stupidity these people are pushing all so that a few people at the top can buy a few mansions/private-jets. Little do they realize what kind of damage they are doing to the competitiveness of America's economy.

US flourished as it did partly because of open/affordable road system. Physical goods and people and ideas were able to move about freely and hence the economy grew.

Now it's all about the internet access. The goods people buy are often sent over internet connection and people/ideas flow the best when internet is working.

And here we are, with the few cable companies that we have doing their best to hamper flow of idea over the internet, the lifeblood of our economy.
The Science of Creating Demand
Actually it is worse than that, most people do notice the lies but feel powerless to stop it. Mostly because they actually are powerless to stop it.
I had the same thought! Apache Spark 1.0 is actually going to support lambda functions in Java 8. A pretty big deal for making Java programmers' life easy.
Watch Microsoft pull something amazing on the mobile front that isn't Java, just watch!

I'm not really trying to be snarky, but the gridlock could mean the death of Android. Instead of trying to actually resolve that difference as Android continues to evolve and mature in its own direction, I feel there truly is yet another option that should make our choices now irrelevant.

edit: I'm taking a mobile POV on this.
Parrot's New Drone + Oculus Rift = The Virtual Reality Of Flight
The photo looks more like a pile of rubble than anything resembling a ship. Yeah, I probably shouldn't have expected it to look like the Swedish Vasa, but I was still disappointed. I guess organic materials don't last as long in the warm waters of the Caribbean as they do in the cold Baltic Sea.

Just out of curiosity, what would the conditions have to be in order for a wooden vessel to remain recognizable after being in warm water for 500 or 1000 years? Would anoxic water help?
> in the years that broadband service has been subjected to relatively little regulation, investment and deployment have flourished

Perhaps they are referring to the majority of the years/graph between 1997 and 2008? Which if they were, would make that statement true.

Even by saying that investment has increased overall between 1997 and 2013 would be true imho.
Corrections:

Intel open sourced their driver not their GPUs.

Broadcom open sourced part of the software running on one of their GPUs, not their GPUs.

Funny, they still do get a lot more game ports than Linux so far (while Linux is progressively getting there).
There's been a lot of talk here in Sweden about expanding the role of the existing collecting societies[0] to cover the internet as well as a way of being able to loosen copyrights.

Rent a car and drive over 17 to Santa Cruz. Spend some time there then drive up 1 to San Francisco. If you have time make a stop at Big Basin Redwoods State Park to see some really big trees.

I'd also recommend driving 35 (Skyline) between San Jose and San Francisco.
Recruiter turned developer here.

Here's a few reasons it's difficult to give rejected candidates feedback:

* the application isn't competitive, and there's no good way to say "you're in the bottom half of the applicant pool"

* the reason for rejection is personal in nature, and there's no great way to say "we didn't like the Facebook photos of you launching bottle rockets from your backside"

* the candidate clearly isn't a fit, but it's hard to describe why

* many unqualified candidates try to overcome rejection, and it just gets awkward

* communicating reasons of rejection to some candidates and not others feels unfair

* there are simply too many applicants to reject, so a personal reason for each one simply isn't practical

Stanford Crypto Summit
For one you'd think that the point of termination of the call would have to be near the place where the crime is supposedly taking place. If that's not the case then the default should not be to go in with guns blazing but to use the time in flight to further verify the veracity of the report.

After all, what are the chances of someone reporting a hostage situation from a point of termination in another country, state, county or even town from where the hostage situation is taking place? Such information should be treated as hearsay at best.
"Any ore deposit is compressed for eons under pressure that is hundreds, or thousands, of times greater than anything we experience on a day to day basis"

Sorry, that's simply not true. Ore can be in any form from hard rock to sand. In fact a significant amount of uranium ore occurs as placer deposits.

Are you disputing that there are almost certainly very large uranium ore deposits on the sea floor, exposed directly to (uber corrosive!) saltwater? Why aren't you worried about those?

I'm surprised at Winston and Franklin - I'm pretty confident that the bump/spike was due to Churchill and Roosevelt. Barack unfortunately was not in the list, so we can't compare that. But compare that to Joseph (Stalin), also a common name, which didn't experience a dip. But then again, neither did Adolph.

Is there a name that experienced a dip, and then became popular again, due to a significant person?
Are you not in a location where there's a searcher-friendly job market? Have you exhausted the possible set of places you could work?
Spark still has the same problem (or feature depending on your tilt): It exists only to avoid annotations.

In my opinion Spark:

get("/hello",(request, response) -> {
return "Hello World!";
};

is still uglier than jax-rs:

@GET @Path("/hello")
String hello() {
return "Hello World!";
}

I'd look seriously at the TRAFx counters I referred to in my other comment. They'll do exactly what you want, they're used to count backcountry skiers by quite a few organizations, they work great in winter down to at least -40C.

There are some non-trivial design problems that need to be overcome in outdoor environments. The ultrasonic sensor may not be a good choice for winter counting, frost buildup on the sensor surface will likely greatly affect performance, plus it's a bit of a power hog.

Don't forget that battery capacity/max current can be greatly affected by cold temperatures as well.

Reply to this post to confirm within 24 hours, assuming Apple does not announce anything officially beforehand. Elsewhere in the thread you state there will be no deal, so I will count deals that result in Apple controlling or owning a significant portion of Beat's business as a win for me. We can figure out the payment later.
I understand what you're saying, that the situation is not completely clear-cut (especially what Broadcom is doing).

But Intel has most definitely documented their GPU registers and hardware – not just the intel open source driver:

The internet enables much commerce that does not happen on the internet. It also tends to move what used to be commerce into cheaper or non-commercial transactions that don't show up in GDP accounts (the news business, the encyclopedia business, the music & movie business, much of the software business).

If suddenly tomorrow there was no internet it would be a major calamity.

I didn't mean to imply it was trivial to understand, but it's no more difficult than the formal definition of, say, a derivative (which involves a limit, and hence an epsilon-delta construction, which in my experience are not so easy to fit in your head at first). Understanding what a multigraph is should be doable.

Hey, the demo scene existed way before "making art with code" became an expression owned by the young hipsters who think they invented everything, so no wonder they don't even consider it exists.
That might convince me to finally switch from vi. Wordstar was one of the first programs I used and the similar keyboard shortcuts used by Borland probably didn't hurt when I started programming. I'm sure all that muscle memory is long forgotten by now... ^k^b, ^k^k. I vaguely remember that as how to define a selection block, but I'm not sure I got it right.

It sounds like much of what they found was ballast, which may have been heavier material like rocks/metal, and they identified it based on it being an anomaly compared to the surrounding seabed and journal entries made by Columbus.

As for your question, I wish I knew, though I recall from an Anthropology course I took that the older wooden artifacts tend to be found in peat bogs over a thousand years after being deposited.

If I understand correctly, the condition isn't great, but the peat bogs themselves prevent oxygen from entering the environment and decrease decay rates of organic material.

A quick search shows that peat bogs can exist under the sea so the conditions you describe might exist even under warm water.

1) There are about 4.5 billion tons of uranium already in the ocean.

http://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/nuclear/nuclear-fuel-from-th...

2. This 4.5 billion tons represents a concentration of 3.3 parts per billion.

3. The U.S. has 470,000 tons of uranium (combined into 700,000 tons of UF6).

http://web.ead.anl.gov/uranium/faq/storage/faq16.cfm

4. As an exercise for the reader, figure out how much the ocean's concentration of uranium in ppb would change if we just dumped all 470,000 tons directly into the sea (i.e., the worst case scenario to end all worst case scenarios).

It's a non-issue, dude.
But, from where I'm sitting, Apple doesn't need Beats to succeed. It's buying into the past, not the future. Headphones is a mature market. Beats would've had to expand into other products to continue revenue growth.

Lastly, Apple doesn't have a history of buying "cool" because it makes it. Buying cool is what dinosaurs like MS, HP and Dell do.
"No other program like this exists anywhere in the world — yet."
A lot of engines do this to some extent (eg. OGRE3D, Irrlicht, et al.) but there are pitfalls there as well. While jquery does a good job of shimming in hacks for older browsers the world of graphics programming isn't really that flexible and even newer drivers can still be a total grab bag of what they support - think of it like this: you have the latest version of Firefox and you can support everything but rendering text in italics. How would you shim that in? Can you? What if it tells you it supports it but it actually slants text the other way? What if it renders correctly but doing it the normal way takes an hour but there's a hack for only this operating system and version of Gecko that works. Also there really isn't a manual and StackOverflow is full of questions that contain all your search terms but are actually for a completely unrelated matter.

So you drop it from the common interface that your abstraction presents because it's just not consistent enough....

There are also a TONNE of shader abstraction languages that transcribe to HLSL or GLSL on the fly for the same reason.

You could also argue that we have built weapons of mass destruction faster than spaceships and that the probability of destroying ourselves and make us come back to the stone age in the 100 years is higher than the probability of building spaceships and venturing into space.

1) This is ridiculous. Third-party commercial packages like what? Have you even looked at Telerik's offerings, or DevExpress? Plust, you haven't really needed commercial libraries for the past few years. Search nuget.org, it'll have just about anything you need.

2) You have no idea what you're talking about. ADO.NET is arguably the MOST robust database driver abstraction out there, with support for just about any DB.

3) Simply not true. Conservatism strikes everywhere, especially outside of startups. However, it's up to the developers to decide if a technology is viable for their ecosystem, not you. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's better.

4) First-class experience? Tell me how robust your Javascript refactoring workflow is? Python? Oh, that's right, it's damn near impossible to refactor either one without investing serious time wading through code.

5) IT stuff is hard, whether you're running Nginx/Apache on Linux, or IIS on Windows. It's not, however, more difficult for IIS. Technet was outdated anyway. Look at http://www.iis.net/. It's way more useful than Technet ever was. Oh, and you don't like IIS? It's what OWIN was made for. Use whatever server you want, or be like those cool Node kids and use the framework to run the server!
Genymotion should also be mentioned, realy speeds up device testing.
Let me come back to my original sentence:

> only humans have been able to build stuff to cross the limits of their own beings.

Maybe you did not get what I was pointing at. I'm not just talking about mere tools, I'm talking about building stuff bigger than us or making it possible for us to live in otherwise unlikely environments. We have planes, rockets, satellites, submarines, boats. Crows don't go under water and chimpanzees don't fly over our heads. There's clearly a difference in the animal realm between what humans and other animals are able to achieve, and this, in the very same evolution time/space.
Just out of curiosity, what are the development environments and tools on Windows that you're referring to?
We rely on several maven plugins without equivalents in sbt.

I wouldn't call it unreliable then because whatever LC_CTYPE is set to is what the user expects their file names to be interpreted as.

If the contents of LC_CTYPE is wrong for a particular file name, at least you get consistency between your python program and everything else on the system.
CPoll based C++ Server Pages
I've never seen an RPC system that I really liked. The closest to a model of distributed computing that gets me from 'a' to 'b' without going terminally insane is anything based on message passing. Even though there is significant overhead I figure that by the time you go distributed and your target of the RPC call or message lives on the other side of a barrier with unknown latency that overhead is probably low compared to the penalties that you'll be hit with anyway.

So then the trick becomes to make sure that a message contains a payload that is 'worth it'.

Making the assumption that any message may not make it to its destination and that confirmations may be lost (akin to your return example) is still challenging but I find it easier to reason about than in the RPC analogy.

I love that Lamport quote :)

A nasty side effect of all this network business is that what looks like a function call can activate an immense cascade of work behind the scenes, gethostbyname (ok, getaddrinfo) is a nice example of such a function. On the surface it's a pretty easily understood affair but by the time you're done and you get your results back you've likely triggered millions of cycles on 'machines that you've never heard of'.
