I know a few people that use it, including myself. However, I can't bring myself to upgrade to version 3. It's just too different for my tastes.
It's not an error, it's a design decision.

I wanted the rate of time increase to be constant every year, and I wanted the time to be universal (across all timezones). I did take leap years into account by calculating the average year length in seconds. I also wanted the calculation to be simple and independent of variations in earth's rotation speed changes, etc. So yes, over a long time, it will diverge from "years" as we know them.

The only reason I used years is to provide context, since most people have a feel for how long a year is. After that, everything is base 10.

In the 90s and early noughties it was common for websites to have a paragraph at the bottom of the page containing nothing but keywords for search engines. Usually it was in small print or made to be casually invisible, but the keyword idea is one of the first things people did to get search engines targetting them... and search engines don't like keywords since people were using irrelevant once to catch traffic. Mind you, the layout of the page looks like it's from bang in the middle of the 'keyword' period... which is why it's strange to see it branded with 2013 and 2010.

Google's first result for "microsoft tla homepage" is this article, as is DDG's, so the unique keyword is of dubious value. As you say, a unique URL is more useful, because it's guaranteed to be unique.

Interestingly, if you search instead for "lamport tla homepage" (which is semantically easier than "uid-lamporttlahomepage and subtract the hyphen"), google gives you the same result, whereas DDG gives you the same link, but now it's called Lamport's TLA Homepage instead of The TLA Home Page.

I doubt that the passwords come from SABRE. There is a lot of stuff between the front end and SABRE. I expect Jet Blue manages their own systems that only call SABRE internally.
I've taken a few classes with some of the authors of this project and they are all amazingly talented. I remember Alex gave a presentation about a year ago on this and he mentioned how hard it was for them to wedge C++ into the Linux kernel just so they could get I/O Kit to work. It was also awesome to see the iOS Stocks app running on a Nexus 7. From what I saw it worked pretty well and aside from the uncanniness of the whole experience, it was pretty amazing to see a fully-working demo. Keep up the good work guys.
Even without the Oracle ruling, any attempt to commercialize something like this would get shutdown because of how it decrypts IPA files. Not to mention Apple's terms of service are very clear that iOS apps cannot be distributed outside of the App Store (the enterprise deployment "store" option being the one exception, and companies pay for that privilege and have to comply with specific guidelines around that).
No, there is no way their loyalty program has anything to do with SABRE, any more than Expedia's passwords are stored in SABRE.
I can't find the journal article, but I saw an academic machine learning paper that claimed our whole lecture system was inefficient and not optimal. Our lectures are currently based off an old system, before all the technology now. The game changed when we introduced computers/phones/tablets, but our method didn't change.

Students don't have much to rely on to determine how well they're doing in a class. Currently, we rely on practice problems. Often times, this feedback loop isn't closed. If it is, it's possible to learn where you went wrong, but often times the solution manuals say "as an exercise for the reader..." or have similar lines.

This paper was proposing to devise some test to determine how well a student understood the material and suggest strategies to more easily solve the problems (afaik at least).

Something I've noticed: we still rely on someone else relaying the information to us. Who says there's who explains the concept better somewhere else? Can we devise a method to have the student give their full and undivided attention while incorporating the technology?

Speaking of punk rock, Mr. Giger can claim some significant cultural influence in that sphere too.

Klaus Flouride, the bassist for the Dead Kennedys had mentioned in an interview from 2003 that personal differences between band members, regarding the "Work 219: Landscape XX (penis landscape)" painting, were the breaking point determining the band's breakup:

...the Frankenchrist thing was, say, a final straw as far
as [Jello Biafra] going in a different direction than what
we wanted to do. I felt that the poster itself was shock
for the sake of shock value. We'd shocked people before,
but we'd always tried to have a point behind it. I didn't
see the point he was making. But we didn't quit after the
lawsuit happened. We quit when he decided that that poster
was gonna be in there one way or the other, and we could
take a hike if we wanted to. So we said, "Well, why don't
we call it 'Jello Biafra and Dead Kennedys?,'" since
that's what it was becoming anyway at that point. [1]

[1] http://www.markprindle.com/flouride-i.htm

And then...

The poster was printed and inserted in the Frankenchrist
album with an additional sticker on the outside
shrinkwrap, warning buyers of the contents. The resulting
trial for obscenity nearly drove the label into
bankruptcy. [2]

The artwork caused a furor with the newly formed Parents
Music Resource Center (PMRC). In December 1985 a teenage
girl purchased the album at the Wherehouse Records store
in Los Angeles County. The girl's mother wrote letters of
complaint to the California Attorney General and to Los
Angeles prosecutors. In 1986 members of the band, along
with other parties involved in the distribution of
Frankenchrist, were charged criminally with distribution
of harmful matter to minors. [3]

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_Landscape

[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Kennedys#Frankenchrist_an...

...it provoked a legal offensive against the band
beginning in April 1986. As well as having his flat torn
apart by the police, Biafra was charged with "distributing
harmful matter to minors," a charge which he repulsed on
the basis of the First Amendment right to free speech and
which was dismissed the following year. [4]

But there were lots of album covers, and not everybody who chose Giger's work stirred up quite the same shitstorm as the Dead Kennedys.

Some of the other album covers Giger's artwork has graced, include the likes of Glenn Danzig, Debbie Harry, Carcass and Celtic Frost.

Thats for the generation 1 Kinects though, which project a dot pattern and calculate distances from the dot offset. Since the camera and projector are in the same housing, they will shake synchronously, and only the dot pattern that is projected by that kinect will show up clearly on it's camera image.

As far as i know the new kinects use Time of Flight technology though (which is the reason they bought PrimeSense), which sends out short pulses of light, and times when they arrive back. Since there is no dot pattern to blur, the shaking technique won't work to my knowledge.
I doubt it. The jailbreak/decryption technique they used to get the IPA files was for iOS 5.1 on a 3GS. There are undoubtedly newer techniques, but actually maintaining and grabbing app files is non-trivial. And any centralized repository is instantly targeted, so you have a seedy app underground of stuff that probably isn't even current.

Then you have the fact that there is 40% overhead on Android to replicate the iOS experience. And the fact that the bluetooth and GPS components won't work.

So do you really think people will buy cheap tablets, spend time installing some hack to run older apps and then get subpar performance, just so they can have access to ios apps? Won't happen. A small sector of users might be willing to do this, but definitely not enough to disrupt anything.

I mean, this is considerably more complex than a hackintosh and we all saw how those projects just totally destroyed Apple's Mac sales. Oh, wait...

Sensible theory so then you need to run experiments to see if supplementing Vitamin D in "healthy" people actually improves their health outcomes. There are many reasons the theory might be wrong (ex. Natural variation of "normal" vitamin D levels). Unfortunately so far these studies have been mixed - even some negative outcomes.

With experience as an entrepreneur and system engineer, I think you would fit a senior position perfectly. Don't you think you could teach a thing or two to younger ones? :-)

Otherwise, I'd suggest pushing daily code on github to show that you still enjoy hacking and can get shit done. That would be my biggest fear.. Is he still passionate about coding and debugging stuff?

Also, saying that you are an entrepreneur can be a bit scary for some employers.. They know that you could leave on a heart beat to start a new business.

Because the steps in that section keep getting passed around as possible fixes. Some of them are mentioned in this very thread. Sadly, it's been my experience that the fix Apple does suggest doesn't work reliably (works for some, not for others), either.

I’m a software engineer at a startup, and I’m clueless about how to get a date.
It's important because if somebody gets your database, if you haven't hashed, they have everybody's passwords, and those passwords are often reused many times at many sites. Hashing at least puts a step between stealing your table and knowing everybody's passwords (a mathematically hard step for good passwords).

Also, please let me know what sites you manage so I know where my data is not valued.
Only because people would recognize her from face or music or voice.

To replicate this you would need to put some make-up / prosthetics on to hide the fact it was her and make her sing something not particularly famous on her own.

I think the result would be the same assuming no one recognized her voice.
From a brief overview of the paper, TLA is a language for proving "good" and "bad" properties for an abstract system. For instance, you can use it to prove that an algorithm completes within N seconds, or that an algorithm never reaches a certain unsafe state.

There are examples of using this to prove correctness of distributed algorithms such as Paxos:

The real issue is the amount of "Black Box" in WebForms. A lot of the guidance is "Do it this way". Why? "Because". You really can't know what is going on behind the scenes. ViewState and the PostBack model are both parts of that. I used them for years...never knew how they worked or what was going on to make them work.

This in turn forced people to go to the MVP pattern to manage those systems, but I still find plenty of clients with code behind that is THOUSANDS of lines long. Everything in one file.

Also, many of the controls were very hard to style, with some very strange html in there.
Anytime TCAS activates in the "RA region", it should be mandatory for both planes to report it to the FAA as "significant". No exceptions. And it should be thoroughly investigated. It's absurd to rely on airlines to "self-police".

> That's why the seemingly anti-intellectual advice of "eat a variety of foods in moderation" is actually quite good advice.

That is because it is vague, imprecise and can be defined whichever way you want.

For example, how much protein should a person intake? 56 gms per day as per the CDC. Other variant figures in the body building community include like 0.68 gms per kg to 2.5 gms per kg. So which figure does one use to establish the definition of moderation? Genetic and cultural differences also come into play. I have lived in cultures (Africa/Asia) where protein is expensive, eaten less. If I went with that sociological perspective of moderation, I could very easily eat less than the 56 gms of the CDC requirement. If I went with the American concept of protein, which sub population do I go with? Do I go with the traditional American eat a Burger + Mashed Potatoes erry day deal or go all Keto and eat Bacon every day?

Personally, I believe that one should gradually evolve towards a lifestyle that is suited to one's own needs.

I started playing Wesnoth in 2005. Practised 'programming' in WML to make custom maps. There was one I designed called 'DOTW' which was a rip off from DOTA. For a good few weeks it was the most played map in Wesnoth multiplayer. Good times.

That is a very relevant question, since Mendeley is free.

Reading the Web site the only advantage that I found is that it allows you to use your Dropbox account to sync the files, while for Mendeley, if you want more space than a free account offers, you have to pay.
In response to users calling this a Macbook-trackpad-only approach: this felt horrible on my MBA. I could only get through an animation in one go with a forceful swipe (the kind of maneuver I never use during casual browsing). Fellow designers, heed my plea: don't do this, ever. Having some subtle animations happen as I casually scroll is one thing, but this is a usability nightmare. I shudder to imagine what this experience must be like with a scroll wheel.
It's not for me actually, just thought it was an entertaining discussion on this site. Having said that, I think that's solid advice.
I haven't used Mendeley since I started using Papers, about 3 years ago. Mendeley at the time seemed to have an uncertain future and less than stellar performance. I find the Papers experience overall much better designed, though the 3.0 release, status post Springer's purchase of Mekentosj, still has some warts. Specifically, I found the PDF interaction is much better and with 3.0 the sync and mobile support is great.
