It's remarkably uncool to like Java, but I know what you mean. I did a web app using Play! version 1 and it was a really enjoyable experience, even though it was in Java. Also, Android development is not brilliant, but most of that is the emulator's slowness, not the Java language itself.

Also I love IntelliJ or Netbeans both a lot more than Eclipse.

I'm sure there is a Java dev experience that is pretty great, especially if you can pull in some of the functional things from Java 8 and maybe immutable things from guava. I haven't tried that.

I have tried Kotlin and I enjoyed playing with it in IntelliJ, though I haven't done anything beyond project euler problems and some JUnit testing.
It would be nice if we could see some benchmarks, Dart is already outperforming javascript (https://www.dartlang.org/performance/)

There is a part of me that would honestly prefer that everyone went through community college rather than bothering with freshman/sophomore "finding yourself" shenanigans. But I'm biased, since that's what I did... and I'm also biased a second time, because I never had the "must pick a major" uncertainty.

But I think we'd lose a lot of the benefit of doing so if it became a standard.
Really sweet.

It makes sense that robots should learn similar to how humans learn, by analyzing data from many trials and then adjusting the method used to achieve the goal. Instead of manually trying to think of the algorithm. It seems like all AI should be done this way, by learning.
I like the state and property features of React, but I still don't understand why more people aren't using Chaplin instead. Because quite honestly, the syntax of every other framework - React, Ember, and especially Angular - is complete gobbledygook by comparison.

Example: in Chaplin, components are views or subviews (because it's still an MVC framework, which is another discussion for another time). The views by default render automatically without you having to call anything. But if you did, you'd write @render() (because hey, Coffeescript saves keystrokes and sanity). That automatically renders the component in the place you've already specified as its container attribute, or if you haven't it renders to the body by default.

Whereas in React, you have to write this garbage: Bloop.renderComponent(Box(), document.body);

WHY. Can't we write a framework that intuits some of this crap? Shouldn't we use a framework that reduces the time we spend writing code?
Nice. How does the transcription work, and how much does it cost?

The deeply flawed study that linked less heart disease to fish oil relied on public health records and hearsay. That doesn't seem like such a deep flaw, at least not for fish oil, in light of thousands of other studies that may confirm the hearsay was right or right about something other than heart disease.

I believe the reason is that the *.github.io hosts point to a CDN rather than just having a single A record, and it is only when going through the CDN that you bypass the "neutering". Regarding your second question, it seems that github issues a warning if you do that:

The slow compile times made me look at Kotlin and so far I like what I see. The web projects in kotlin aren't very mature, but maybe you can use plain old servlets or or some other JVM web framework. I haven't gone down that path with Kotlin yet.
The president illegally removed himself from the country, rendering the government inoperable - no bill could be signed into law by him "in absentia". He could return to the country but he chose not to. Calling for new elections and appointing an acting president until the time was the only sensible thing the parliament could do in such conditions.

Not really. The article mentions that using linear methods (i.e., LIBLINEAR) is one way to avoid the curse. LIBLINEAR is specifically designed for situations in which you have many features and relatively few training instances. When using a linear classifier it may make sense to simply generate as many features as you can, and then use, i.e., lasso regression in order to do feature selection. http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/liblinear/

At UCLA and Cal, 30% of freshmen are out of state[0]. As you said, this is not an easy thing to do to begin with. I don't think that these numbers hold as high for other universities, but it's not 10 or 20 people at a school. It's like 1/8 to 1/4 of the freshmen that may need to transfer credits.

> You'll probably want a 500cc-600cc bike to start with, so you have the option of flying away at 80 mph when you need to.

Its a little confusing but cc's can be a bit deceiving. Some 600cc motors put out 100+ horsepower and would be a death ride for a new rider. Some 650cc twins are mild manner and put out only 70-80 HP and are more manageable. If freeway riding is planned then he would need around 50+ HP to do so safely. The Suzuki GS500 or the Kawasaki 500 EX are usually recommended as good beginner bikes with enough power for freeway use. The 250cc bikes put out about 35-40 HP and can go freeway speeds but not much left for evasive actions.

I'm a lecturer and I think clickers are great, for large classes especially. Clicker questions and small group discussion about the answers gets students thinking rather than just sitting there with eyes glazing over. It works well. By giving a small amount of real credit to the answers you even get all the slackers discussing the topic and arguing about which answer is right.

Technologically clickers are impressively easy to use as well, you just need to put in slides with questions into the main presentation. The biggest disadvantage is students who forget to bring their clicker or have endless excuses about why they couldn't be in class on a certain day.

Shouldn't we take care to draw a distinction between healthcare and health insurance. It seems these days that a lot of people are confused about the distinction. And it tends to somewhat vary from country to country. Note, I live in South Africa, not the US.

Personally, I'd love a comeback of proper health insurance. I.e. where day-to-day healthcare costs are not covered, but only the major items that would really put dents in your wallet. Currently I pay quite a bit for a combination of the two, while I'm convinced that if the two were separated then my costs, as a healthy young adult, would be quite a fair bit lower.

You do loose out on a lot of connections though. If you go to Harvard for the know-how, that's a dumb move. You can get a better education for much cheaper with a little research. But, if you go to Harvard for the connections in business, finance, defense, etc., that is a great investment. Going out drinking with the son or daughter of Lockheed's CEO or the head recruiter of Goldman is worth the tuition at Harvard.
Very interesting; of course I expect there are many refinements to be made. As a physicist my first reaction is always to mash numbers together based on dimension. If I can get within one or two orders of magnitude in a problem I know nothing about, I'm pretty happy ;)

It is true though that many js deficiencies have turned out to be factors contributing to node's popularity. A lack of namespaces, standard library and import/require come to mind.

I'm not interested in arguing about technical superiority, I'm sure node is no where close to ideal. But, like javascript itself, it's popular, interesting, useful, and here to stay. From my perspective, for better or worse, javascript is the most important programming language of the decade.

This exactly. There are millions of kids that want to be engineers or in STEM fields. It may seem rough, but if they can't do calculus, it's better for everyone that they find this out sooner than later and can then adjust their plans.

Oh yes, RoR is everywhere in corporate America and around the world. Node.js is what everyone is using for LOB.
That's even better of use heap than for web pages. Usually for any web development it's so much easier/faster to deploy new version than release new version of mobile application.
“Universities were founded in Western Europe in 1050 and lecturing has been the predominant form of teaching ever since,”

Automatic rendering is fine in small projects. Seemingly random appearance of widgets would, however, drive the debugging person crazy.

Comparing this.render to Bloop.renderComponent is superficial. If rendering needs to have a handle on different resources, you'd either violate the encapsulation in the former example, or write a service to couple them on a separate layer -- that service might as well be called Bloop.

Some of this crap makes hard things possible.

Hi Johnathan, they deliberately don't want to provide email alerts or even a decent search because that would break their rather excellent business models (users spend hours browsing pages of listing rather than searching which drives page views and ads impressions). They killed a site similar to yours a few years ago (leboncoinrss or something along the lines I believe). I wouldn't try to base a business on something which hijack the user experience they have created. On my spare time I'm scrapping their site to do some data analysis and so far despite the traffic I generate no problem. Let me know if you want to discuss that.
Folks, not much of this is new. Both Entity Framework and ASP.NET MVC were already open source for quite some time [0][1]. All the other repos are nearly empty.

The only real news here is that, indeed, ASP.NET vNext is going to be developed in the open, or at least to some extent. But right now, not a lot of code seems to be released that wasn't already out there (although I did not go through all the repos).

I don't think you should expect to find many current/legacy parts of ASP.NET that aren't open yet: this seems to be mostly for new stuff.

Finally, don't forget that "ASP.NET" doesn't seem to mean a lot (anymore): it's basically Microsoft actively shipping the org chart. Anything that's web related and from MS appears to get tacked "ASP.NET" on front of it. Cause really, what does ASP.NET MVC, basically a pretty uninspired Rails port to C# (and just an open source library like any other), have to do with "active server pages"?

I tend to agree with this one. Half of the point of having a teacher (as opposed to just hit library as some suggest) is to have somebody knowledgeable to tell you what is important/worth your time and what is not.

As basically a sidenote to that lawsuit, SpaceX more or less said "Oh and by the way, how is it that they are buying engines with these sanctions in place?". It was a rather tangential issue to the lawsuit itself.

All SpaceX did was publicize that issue, everything before and after that was entirely the governments doing (the sanctions in the first place were on the government, and the injunction on the ULA was placed by a judge, not SpaceX. The injunction was lifted, again by the government, and the governments currently poor diplomatic relations with Russia inspired Russia to essentially make the injunction stick)

In other words, the ULA is just whining that SpaceX tattled on them. Any real blame lies with either the people who made the rules, or with the people who broke the rules (or both).

Word on the street is that they're going to kill Google Voice soon and integrate its functionality into Hangouts. They've taken the first step by integrating regular SMS into Hangouts, so it can't be hard now. I hope it happens soon, but until then there are client-side hacks (such as XVoice+) that you can use to achieve the same functionality.
There are two components to method swizzling: 1) the initial method implementation exchange, 2) the overhead of calling the swizzled method before the original method.

The actual method exchange (#1) is little more than a pointer swap and happens at load time. You can safely assume it introduces no performance overhead.

The overhead of swizzled code (#2) is also minimal. Specifically, in Instruments you'll see that ~1ms of time gets spent in an empty replacement method before the original method is called. But this replacement method is blocking, so it's imperative you keep it as lean as possible (e.g. by pushing tasks onto a background queue).
> This should be simpler, but I'm not sure how much easier Apple can make it.

You have to keep in mind that your steps don't work for everyone. There is no definitive set of steps that consistently work. I say this is as someone who has gone back and forth between iOS and Android a couple of times. What worked last time doesn't necessarily work the next time.

Making it possible to deregister by logging into your Apple Account over the web would deal with 100% of the problem, which is people not being aware of the issue before switching off of iOS.

Showing the CPU+Battery utilization graph for a sample app is a pretty dubious way to demonstrate the performance impacts of swizzling sendAction:to:from:forEvent:

It may indeed be a negligible impact as they claim, but using the Time Profiler instrument they could show exactly how much time is spent in the main queue on their swizzled code which would be a much better indication of whether or not the performance impact is negligible than eyeballing a cpu utilization graph.
1. Validation seem to happen when you send the first message to check if given number is associated with iMessage
2. Second time onward it only checks if the sender is in Data Network or not.
3. There is an option in the iMessage settings > Messages > "Send as SMS" if this option is not selected once the device/iAccount knows the other device is iPhone and you are on Data ... it just sends an iMessage.

Turn "Send as SMS" so that it falls back to SMS if the destination is not available for iMessage.
