I got frustrated with this and created BigConsole[1] to solve it. It's a Chrome extension that adds a Firebug-style split console to DevTools.

Then I tweeted about it, and Addy Osmani responded[2] pointing out that Chrome does in fact support multiline consoles with its Snippets[3] feature. It's still kind of obnoxious, but it does the job.

Mixergy interview with Rap Genius co-founder Tom Lehman re: Worse being Better
Arrrg.

I use Chrome for everything but I don't like dev tools and consistently use Firefox because it works so much better for me.

I've been fearing for a long time now that Mozilla would just start doing whatever Chrome is doing.

When it comes to updating dev tools, I wish everything new were an option. When you change a "tool" you change how I "work", and bumps in my work flow just slow me down.
Tool runs on OSX only.

I guess they (I would, too) assumed it was pretty obvious, but it is clearly not. (I don't mean this in a derogatory or a mean way). Just interesting. Related to the top comment here about not assuming that the visitors know what the app is about.
By the way, one of the shows that we already feature in the beta, is of course Silicon Valley. Be sure to check it out.

Hi Bob,

>SRP is very simple...different people want to change a class for ... different reasons...

Back in October 2009, in https://sites.google.com/site/unclebobconsultingllc/getting-... I asked you a question on the SRP and you replied as follows:

"SRP says to keep together things that change for the same reason, and separate things that change for different reasons. Divergent change occurs when you group together things that change for different reasons. Shotgun surgery happens when you keep apart those things that change for the same reason. So, SRP is about both Divergent Change and Shotgun Surgery. Failure to follow SRP leads to both symptoms."

Has the avoidance of Shotgun Surgery taken a back seat?

Last time someone created a "work" inspired by 4'33", John Cage's publisher demanded royalties. http://classicalconvert.com/2007/07/the-stupidest-music-laws... So it may be difficult to build on those ideas even if someone did figure out an interesting way to do so.
Same. Credit to the team for great support and follow-ups.

FWIW I didn't see it as snark. You seemed to imply the size of the democracy mattered. His/her response was a couple counter-factuals. Then you seemed to acknowledge it's not the size, it's the age of the democracy (which is a great point).

In any case I found the rest of your original post really helpful context, explaining why a "life" sentence probably won't turn out to be that. Thanks!

It's actually more like

1. Click request in console

2. Click on the request that was just highlighted for you in the Net panel

3. See headers right away, or click Response to see raw response or Preview to see those rendered nicely

4. Click console again to return

and then...

5. Oh wait, want to see something in the headers

6. Go to the Net panel, still there for you

It's a different workflow and it's probably annoying to you since you're not used to it, but "it's not at all useful" is edging past hyperbolic. Personally I feel like a clumsy idiot when I go back to Firebug, even though I used to live in it and once knew every quirk. I think that's just the way of developer tools.
We thought about importing (and timecoding) twitter chatter during the first airing of the shows. And then we realized just how scattered and off-topic that chatter really is for the most part.
I think this is great and if the overhead is low it's a great solution (not that text takes much overhead). The issue I have is that I've actually typed out a text then deleted it because I thought twice about sending that message. Not sure where a situation would arise where this type of service would be of value.

Yes. So are compilers. And web frameworks. And editors. And memory-management tools. Progress is made by no longer re-implementing and re-inventing the things that many, many people have invented and implemented in the past, and building on their work.

This doesn't mean that there is no value in learning about these things for yourself, but the packaging of knowledge in reusable tools is the only way programming progresses.
Oh wow, hi! Fancy running into you here! I hope you enjoyed Montreal!

To answer your questions:

Other than moderating for inappropriate content, the learning activities are whatever teachers think is useful. Whether it's aligned with curriculum standards is to the teacher's discretion. However, that being said, a month ago in Quebec we had a 'congress' of teachers from all around the province gather to create content with other teachers of similar disciplines, with the blessing of their respective schools and school boards. We are planning many more of these assemblies and we are developing a partnership with the province to encourage teachers to create content that's closely aligned with the provincial curriculum.

When we have a commanding audience in the US, we will reach out to whomever to aid us in creating or curating CCSS related material.

As for our company, students do not pay and teachers are not paid. (At least not by us.) Teachers' content will always be marked with their authorship giving proper credit where it's due and we have faith that great teachers will teach. Our hope is that teachers will find joy in witnessing the reach of their wisdom and that other teachers will share their wisdom in turn, so that everyone wins. Especially the student.

Our platform is always free to use for individuals and we only charge schools or school boards when we set up private portals for greater privacy controls. We also provide training and strong customer support for paying organizations.

I hope that answers your questions! I'd be happy to take more here (if it's appropriate) or at ytakahashi@challengeu.com!
"Additionally, code that handles 32-bit registers in x86_64 is often shorter than its 64-bit counterpart due to the lack of REX prefixes in instructions."

Excellent point, thank you. I was only thinking about the data cache. Interestingly, I believe 64-bit ARM (AArch64) instructions are still only 32 bits long though I haven't confirmed via google. Maybe someone can correct me.

A lot of conventional management advice floating around smacks of celebrating these so called "psychopathic" tendencies.

Ex. Never name a dog you are going to eat...

However, I don't think that separating emotion from a situation and being able to evaluate a situation dispassionately/objectively qualifies as psychopathic. Our society is so fascinated with the aberrant behavior of "broken people" we are politicizing and softening the term to a place outside of its definition. Being unable to participate in the full range of human emotion is vastly different from acting dispassionate when convenient.
Why is it that in genetic algorithms never seem to be mentioned any more. Are they sub-standard, or just a "higher-level" than typically talked about i.e. you must implement them yourself.

I was actually working on server-client software in Go to allow multihoming IP connections.[0] The original use case was to load-balance packets across wi-fi + 3G or other connections. It's not quite user-friendly yet, but with a little work it could use new connections as they come up (maybe poll ifconfig?).

You'd of course need to install the software on your outside server that will forward packets for you, but a DO droplet would be great for that. It'd also work for the case where your router is your server and you shift between wired and wireless.

That's interesting. I almost always time-shift sports. Stuff like American football is otherwise interminable.

Even when I want to get to the finish, live, I just start watching an hour after the recording begins. Fast forward through commercials and head-under-hood challenges, etc.

If it's a game I'm only semi-interested in, I'll wait until it's completely finished. Then just FF until I notice a score change, back up some reasonable number of minutes. Voila, personal highlight reel.

Just installed it from Aurora channel. I have not used firefox for couple years now (moved to Chrome) but I think I will jump back now. The only thing in dev tools missing so far for me compared to Chrome is :before and :after pseudo elements, I love how Chrome dev tools shows it as a separate entity in the inspector tree. I hope FF team implements it as well.

With the users we have in the beta we have noticed that it isn't for everyone and not everyone uses it the same (some are just reading, others comment a lot, and some wait for the perfect moment and then post the best joke) for every show. With the speed of Silicon Valley, for example, my wife isn't actively posting while she watches.
I think they mean, it's one of the types of shows that people don't typically record because they want to watch it live, so this would not be useful for sports.
Those questions were asked and it came down to the fact that it was a collectibles marketplace and the specific things they were looking for were not available or not an attractive price. There is also the trust issue... many seem to rather want to use ebay.
I've watched terrible horror movies with live chat and it was a unique experience.

Agree. Couldn't believe this wasn't in there when I checked it out before. Isn't using bridged interfaces with VMs/containers a major use case? It's certainly my primary config, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

That would be approximately why I was able to get PaintCode v1 in a MacHeist bundle super cheap in January. Very worth it - if you're going to embrace the UI dynamics in iOS 7 and beyond, this is an incredibly efficient way to do it. An update of our cooking thermometer's app (http://supermechanical.com/range/app if you're curious) that's in review now will have a circular cooking timer widget - drag in a circle, see the wedge of a clock face you're selecting - and with PaintCode I just drew a wedge and designated the angle as a variable. Didn't have to think one bit about drawing arcs, and even better, it took away much of the penalty of tinkering with the look and feel of the interaction.
A major reason for wanting to watch it live is that it's so easy to have it spoiled. And for a lot of people, a game (much more than other TV) isn't worth watching if you know the outcome. So partly, people want to watch the "action" live, but also, they just don't feel like watching it later. This can address the second part.
More likely the retrieved text fron the page itself contains very little of technical interest. If there were a transcript I expect it would fare better.

Genetic algorithms are not really an off-the-shelf black box that you can just plug your data into and get results. They take a domain expert to use efficiently, and even then they aren't guaranteed to perform that well. The area that I've encountered where they are most effective is in approximation heuristics for NP-hard problems where you slowly assemble a solution from smaller pieces.

This is already done at commercial providers. Those of us who operate networks are pretty well used to paying monthly rates based on 95th-percentile bandwidth utilization.
As I remember Apple was only using it for Siri (and possibly iCloud/etc) to handle the WiFi/LTE transition more smoothly than "wait for the timeout".

I don't think it's enabled for apps, at least my default. You may have to pass special options when creating the connections in your app.

Cool! I didn't appreciate that. I think its interesting to see that behavior in an everyday Fourier series though.
I don't think it's ridiculous, and the current 97k H4s that will now be able to work are probably pretty happy about it [1].

Regarding the L2s being able to get their EADs but not the H4s, keep in mind that the latter are not the only ones in this situation, it's the same thing with TN/TD. And then you have the E-3 spouses (Australia) who _can_ get their EADs[2] :)

I think that the problem is that each visa/work status was created separately, so it's more than just a case of "since it works for this one, why doesn't it work for this other one". I agree with you that this current situation is ridiculous but I'm happy that they start addressing those issues, even if piece by piece.

The construction of the Weierstrass function (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass_function) was new to me, even though I suffered through a semester of baby Rudin.

To me, the canonical example of a continuous but nowhere differentiable function is: any Brownian motion sample path.

Which, like the Weierstrass function, illustrates that functions that look simple may be so weird that our standard intuition does not apply.
Would you run JS in a sandbox, like Chrome's? Would you run JS from a "trusted" source, like Google's web font loader? Would you run code from a "stranger" that had been vouched for by Google, like angular.js served from Google's mirror?
I've had similar experiences with my [monopolistic, US] cable provider. Everyone who has come out to do any service has been surprisingly competent and very willing to do more than what needs to be done. I had a guy come out this past Sunday who didn't like the angle the cable was coming out the wall panel (sharp turn against furniture), so he moved the coax connection inside the wall. The only way I can figure it is they are heavily incentivized to solve it right the first time, so they like to cover all the bases.
I wonder what the software on that disc does given that it just bids online.

That's one form of metered pricing, but I'd argue that granularity of a month is much too coarse to make much sense form a network utilization perspective. As I've said in other comments, pricing based on 95th percentile circuit utilization (which is common among commercial ISPs) is a much more practical way to balance efficient utilization with incremental cost.
The way I remember it, it was like this site but more frequently updated and focused mostly on Haskell:

If you read a few rows down on that page, you'll see this:

"For the debate about MS being evil, you can head directly to HN where you'll also find an explanation of what bootstrapping a compiler means."

And that about sums it up. For a while I didn't even create an account because I didn't think I could add anything without sounding stupid compared to everyone else. Now I try to refrain from commenting for...different reasons.
The more I read about H1B laws more I find it ridiculous. US immigration laws are the best example of how policy making runs based on fabricated fears rather than pragmatism.

If a spouse is in Us for 6 years on H4, she is essentially sitting ducks all those years not doing anything. No one will employ such a person. You cant even run a blog and earn through ad-sense on H4. Neither can you work remotely for a foreign company.

It is beyond me why such law exists in first place. People from Mexico can jump over the fence come to US and work while the president goes out of his way to ensure that these people can get US taxpayer's money but my wife who is engineering graduate with over 8 years of experience working for American companies in India can not work in US because it takes away jobs of American people!
GCC's traction is mainly due to it being, for a very long time, the most complete and widely-ported open source compiler system available.

Its competitors tended to be expensive commercial options, or comparatively limited open source projects. Any individual or organization wanting to use an advanced, yet free, compiler system generally ended up with GCC by default.

It wasn't GCC's licensing that attracted them. In fact, its licensing ended up being a liability, especially for commercial users. That's why we've seen LLVM and Clang really take off lately. They started to not only match the functionality of GCC, but did so with a far more flexible licensing approach. This made them a much more appealing set of tools for many users, both commercial and open source.

I feel like we're all being trolled, but how is your failure to present a cogent argument in your initial comment affected by downvotes that occur at a later time? You did the online equivalent to walking up to someone and saying to their face that they are dishonest and immoral, without any rationale for such an offensive position. In real life, you'd be punched in the face or, at the very least, escorted off their property. Is the fact that you're being downvoted really that surprising to you?

What you write is being held to a higher standard than what you are accustomed to. You can choose to use this as an opportunity to grow and improve your writing and better present your thoughts or you can choose to complain at how unfair it is. In your Redis comment[0] you talk about having manners and respect for other people's work. Perhaps you can hold yourself to this same standard.
