At least in Canada it remains incredibly difficult to get the G or X without a plan or contract. I can't help wonder what exactly it is that makes Motorola so resistant to direct selling in the frozen north.

The single greatest thing about the Nexus 5 is how easy it is to buy the handset with absolutely no consideration about the carrier at all, and it's sad that Motorola haven't learned this from greater Google before going off to Lenovo.

Doubly sad, as the products deserve a lot more attention. I do wonder if they're concerned about them being good enough to cannibalise vast swathes of the market.
Yes, but in this case it isn't just "some" contributors. Google used to contribute more then double the commit and people on the project.

Does anyone know of a similar guide for Ruby?
I'm an ASP.net developer and I'm trying to get some insight into other (perhaps quicker/easier) ways of doing exactly what this guide describes.
Audis in the UK have a persistent safety flaw; it's suspected to be something to do with the glass used in the windscreen (windshield for our US readers). When you sit in the driving seat of an Audi, all other road users become invisible.
No, I mean connect your fuel cell car to a hose, and an electrical outlet at the end of the day, and run the fuel cell in reverse to regenerate the H2.

I saw it in a science fair, they could switch directions of the fuel cell to go either way.

That's the first time I've heard that meaning of "self hosted." I was expecting something like a REST server that also acted as a client to another instance of itself.
Well, 2 out of 5 are actually molecules. But this kind of sloppy language doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

People still don't get it. There is a really simple antidote to elitism - democracy. Everybody gets the same amount of power, well defined as one vote. If you want to abstain your power, you can - just don't vote.

That way, people who want to do real work can concentrate on it without worrying about power games. Power games become pointless, because the power structure is set to stone. That's why democracy is so effective system - it lets you focus on the job, without the stresses of not having any power. Because you can have it, when you need it.
You can allow non-administrator access using netsh[1] as an administrator. That way you don't need to run VS as admin.

You don't need attributes based routing in this example. Convention based routing is built into WebAPI.

For the Delete method you can return an HttpStatusCode instead of throwing an exception.

public IHttpActionResult Delete(int Id)
{
var result = (from b in ourbooks
where b.Id == Id
select b).FirstOrDefault();

ourbooks.Remove(result);
return StatusCode(HttpStatusCode.Accepted);
}

Well, once in a while someone publishes a review paper that does that. I found them quite good.. not as sophisticated as your idea though, but it exits.

I'm dreaming of a program that checks papers of all fields for me and suggests those with similar ideas in areas I'd never look at for me to read..
This.

The problem is that many people in the industry doesn't really understand the basics. How come is there a leak of your certificate, if that's the public key you're showing to every single client that connects to your SSL enabled site?

I've even seen sysads advising on forums about reissuing certs after Heartbleed, but no word about the keys.

I tried to use this recently, even going as far as paying for the iOS version (whilst on the Mac trial). Unfortunately, it was too slow and clunky on my Mac, which is admittedly fairly old (mid 2009). The iOS app also crashed a lot, and wouldn't sync particularly well.

If they fixed these issues, it would be great. I ended up using Mendeley in the meantime.
I'm surprised AdBlock is so popular. I tried it a few years ago and noticed the sluggishness immediately. I know it's not a feasible alternative in everyone's opinion, but if you're running a low end machine and want to block the most pernicious ads (flash, multiple external javascript, etc.) then Firefox + NoScript is the way to go.

I moved my personal site from Wordpress to Octopress a few years ago, which is a small site - approx 70 posts - and gets a small amount of traffic.

Pros:

* Cheaper / simpler hosting - no need for a database, etc. (you can even host on GitHub)

* No updates to install on the server, as you're serving static files

* Less concerns over security

Cons:

* Not as simple to add a new post. With WordPress you can just login, create a new post, and publish. With Octopress you run a rake command, edit post, save, preview, git commit, then git push / rsync.
Architecture anti-pattern: ‘one architecture to rule them all’
For a language that's supposed to have its 1.0 release later this year, these sure sound like pretty significant breaking changes.
Remoting and signing has been a nightmare to set up on my domain but otherwise so far I'm still having a pleasant experience. Obviously the console itself is the same as cmd's which is terrible. I just work a lot with the ISE open but still looking for a slicker terminal.

I've been able to just deploy PS v4.0 across all of my computers I think a lot of the headache comes from trying to use new stuff and seeing windows 7 ship with v2.0

I'm curious what kind of things you're running into, I'm getting quite immersed in using PS all over.
The research you mentioned specifies in the abstract a probable cause for failing to replicate the same conditions for the experiment:
It is possible that during a colony conversion the supplier inadvertently introduced strain differences making the present rats more resistant to xenobiotic consumption.

In my opinion this tells a lot.

BTW: There are other researchers that replicated similar results on similar experiments too:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11072395?dopt=Abstract

So is better to see all the experiments to avoid bias.
Some sites have tried gimmicks to block adblock users. I wonder now if they'll make thousands of empty iframes.
What is this magical iPhone you have?
Yeah, that's really badly worded. What it's trying to say is that if a Cocoa method has a NSError parameter, it will indicate error state by nil/NO return value. It doesn't say anything about the value of the NSError if the return value is not nil/NO. So for example you could have the out parameter pointing at an existing NSError* at it's possible it will still point there if everything went ok.
Well, I'm on Windows because I don't bother. It's just my workplace machine, running browsers, terminals (so thanks Babun, will try it out now) and a bit of other stuff I don't need Linux for. Yes, my private notebook runs Linux. All my servers do. But our IT departement is Windows centric, and that's about that. While I'm free to configure my desktop machine just the way I want, I prefer to not spend time doing this. I just use the Windows system they gave me, and when it breaks, I call in and they will give me an off-the-shelf new one. Not in a mood to spend my time with fiddling with my desktop machine. The most complex piece of software it runs is the browser.
So, I think the key thing here is unboxed. You can write methods on values whose in-memory representation is the same as an int. It performs in all ways like an int (you can do arithmetic operations on it, etc). It's not boxed, the way other languages would require it to be in order to have methods.

C# extension methods are just syntactic sugar.

public static int WordCount(this String str)

Yes, this means that you can now do this:

string foo = "howdy partner!"
int count = foo.WordCount()

Is that really any better than this?

string foo = "howdy partner!"
int words = WordCount(foo)

The only reason this is useful in C# is because it doesn't support bare functions, all methods have to be on an object. In Go, this is not a problem, you can have bare methods.

Also, extension methods, in practice (and I have a lot of practice with them), are a pain in the butt... because they're magic additional methods on a class that only exist if you include the right project... which means if you try to copy some logic, some of the functionality will not compile in the new location until you figure out what projects to include in the new spot. That's still requiring work by the caller, except that it's much less obvious what you need to do to get it to work.

In contrast, Go's type definitions are 100% clear and obvious, and there's never a question where the functionality is coming from. That clarity makes a huge difference when you're trying to understand the code.

Of course, you'd never actually do that for most C# extension methods in Go, it's ridiculous to make a new type just to make it look like you're calling methods on that type. You'd just write a bare function like a normal person:

package count
func Words(s string) int {}

// elsewhere
foo := "Howdy Partner!"
words := count.Words(foo)

> it's not unreasonable to say that there are parts of California that are one order of magnitude worse than areas of India.

OP was talking about Rwanda, not India. 60 minutes per year, as disastrous as it sounds for California, is hardly comparable with the outages of several hours per week they have there.

I get it, I get it, California life is hard, but seriously...
That page doesn't mention blocks at all, though. Apple themselves use the (id value, NSError *error) completion block style with NSURLSession: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Founda...

It makes sense with blocks where you have actual multiple values you can pass in without futzing with pointers to pointers.
Great question. Does that encompass the assets on the page? The recent cache, lookahead?

I'm always staggered on the flip side that serving a web page using something like XYZ CMS can use a staggering 50MB or more for one page load without caching.

Bizarre when you consider that you could get a small encyclopedias worth of text on a floppy disk.

Too many websites are drowning polar bears...
I would love to comment on the product, but the site's scrolling locks up every now and then and most images flicker or don't display in Chrome Canary. Designers, please don't break the Web by overriding spacebar :(.

I'm planning on buying myself a Moto G2 this fall/winter. I don't need a high-end phone right now, unless something great comes out of the Android Silver program (maybe a really nice Sony with a great camera). However, my next (and maybe "last") high-end phone will probably be one based on ARA, and then I'll just buy all the highest quality components I want (if it works well).

As for Moto G2, this would be my wishlist (if they're reading this):

- quad core Cortex A53 with LTE (basically Snapdragon 410)/Wi-Fi 802.11ac would be nice, too

- 8 MP camera that is at least as good as the one in Nexus 5 (but hopefully more reliable/faster with the focus)

- 32 GB version for $200 or at least 16 GB but with SD card support. 16GB without SD card support is too little, even at this price point.

- a slightly more compact size (same screen size, just more compact, as the Moto G is as big as Moto X, which has a bigger screen, but the compactness of Moto E makes me hopeful that it will be).
Interesting. Clojure removes mutability in the general case and removes aliasing with transients for local mutability in the particular case.
My primary computer is a laptop from 2008 with a 2.5Ghz Core 2 Duo and other than a 1 second delay in startup I don't notice any performance degradation in general use compared to running without ABP.

Currently this machine has been up for 3 days and 17 hours and Firefox has been running the whole time and it is using 303MB with 4 tabs open one of which is the Daily Mail (don't judge!) which is an extremely busy page. This is perfectly acceptable in my opinion. I only have 4GB RAM which by todays standards in not much either. Obviously reducing the memory footprint is great but I can't say it has ever been a problem I have ever noticed.

On a side note the past few updates to Firefox have improved performance a lot. I am really impressed by how much quicker the browser is, especially with Chrome seeming to just get slower and slower with each update.
I too learn effectively when I've got outstanding lecturers lecturing at me. However that's rarely the case - some lecturers don't really care for the students; some care but aren't that great at lecturing... So in practice, lectures don't even always work for students who learn effectively from lectures.

Very interesting.

There might be an architecture problem here. Another solution is to use a proxy to block ads, like GlimmerBlocker for OSX. But I didn't investigate memory usage, though I tend to think it will be lower (plus have the added benefit of working simultaneously for all browsers).
Because it is A5 everywhere. A5 and A7 are different models, not different names for same model. And A5 also has an 5 door model available, although it is not sold in states.

Satago Secures $1M To Boost Its Automated Credit Control For SMEs
C# is a very good language. It's also ridiculously huge. There are so many language features, you could use a new one in every class and not run out until you'd rewritten Windows.

I worked in C# for a decade, and I still have to go look up how some of the features work. Try getting new people up to speed in the language... you'll still be teaching them language features years into their careers.... I know because I did it.

It's not a bad language, it's just that it suffers from feature bloat, like many things Microsoft does, and that makes for code that is very difficult to maintain.
Presumably if you have a slower internet connection the performance cost of injecting stylesheets is offset by the reduction in how many images/flash banners/etc. you have to download.
SaaS Builders: Beware The Free Trial
There was an REST server that responded with just a json you specify for a particular url, but god i can't recall the name.

I used to run a 700MHZ powerbook, and the fan used to whir away. One day I realised that having Firebug running wasn't helping! But I foolishly hadn't even considered it, as I was so used to running the extension. Adblock Plus I pretty much always install too, so would just think it was normal. It still feels much better than running the adverts!

I did try noscript for a while, but I got fed up having to turn it on for sites that just failed to work without JS, and got bored moaning about it.
I don't think it does? The iMessage servers would simply reply to the sender device, saying "Number not active in iMessage", and give the sender a prompt to send by SMS.
I meant, a common human question is "if there is a caring God, how can there be so much suffering in the world?" And maybe the answer is, human pain means nothing to him the same way computer generated rock pain means nothing to us.
I totally like cool products like the one on display here. But i'm so tired of those preordering-sites.. really, i want to order your stuff. now. Tell me when it's finished, put the site online. If you really need an indication whether someone likes/needs it, perform market research without irritating potential customers. And if you need additional funding to make your vision happen, sites like kickstarter offer a clean and generally well understood way of making that happen.

No, I'm not going to preorder a product now that ships sometime in 2015. Not even for a 50% discount.
Many of the sites with the most pernicious ads require JS to function, so NoScript isn't really that effective if you're going to, say, stream the latest episode of Game of Thrones.
Is your goal to learn languages that are in demand? Or is it to become a good programmer -- even if the languages that can make you a good programmer aren't in demand?

Fantastic value proposition with perfect timing. Three companies I'm working with need a solution to this problem in the next 10 days.

I would literally have paid for three $24 subscriptions by now but sadly it failed to meet my expectations.

Some immediate problems:

1) I can't add the metadata it requires to my Stripe transactions without writing code which I will then have to maintain. I'm using WuFoo's Stripe integration to create the transactions.

2) I connected a Stripe account but I can't work out how to import existing transactions at all. (Maybe above issue is blocking this.)

3) Why is connecting Stripe the 5th step in setup when it's the core part of the value proposition and could be first?

4) I'm feeling annoyed and frustrated that time has been wasted building features I don't care about (Expenses, Estimates, Contacts and Delivery Notes) when it doesn't do the core thing I want to buy it for.

Here's how I'd like it to work:

Step 1) I sign up and give my credit card details immediately. (I would have trusted you with a money back guarantee)

Step 2) I connect my Stripe account and you instantly show me a list of invoices I can download or email to customers.

Step 3) I change my company details until invoices are rendered correctly.

No step 4 or 5.

An extra bit of logic which would be fine for my immediate purposes:

- When I add my UK/EU VAT registration number include VAT, at the UK rate, on all invoices where Stripe reports that country of the customer to be an EU country.

e.g.

A $50 payment in Stripe from someone in the UK, France etc should result in an invoice for $41.67 + $8.33 VAT

A $50 payment in Stripe from someone in the US, Canada etc should result in an invoice for $50 + $0.00 VAT

(Once we hit significant revenue we might need something more complex but right now all I care about is making sure we're properly accounting for VAT.)

Brilliant idea! I very much hope all this is helpful.

Well it can have all the breaking changes it wants, since it's not 1.0 yet. Which is kind of the point - show a unified, logical interface to the programmer that still covers memory safety without mandatory GC, concurrency without data races, speed, functional programming.
As a chromebook user (with 2gb of ram) Adblock plus is routinely the chief culprit for slow downs. I've found it using 400mb of ram with sites like youtube and facebook open.
Rather than forbidding those characters, you can go the facebook route and store multiple hashes for common typos. So if a user of your Polish website uses the password "huntyr2", you store that hash and also the hash of "huntzr2", and allow access using either of those passwords.
> For a language that's supposed to have its 1.0 release later this year, these sure sound like pretty significant breaking changes.

And that is why I think Rust is one of the most exciting new languages out there. They have not been stubbornly sticking to their original plan when they found out that it wasn't really a good idea after all.

For example the change from N:M thread scheduling to native threading.

The language and the compiler have been serving as pretty nice research vehicles for advancing practical and useful programming language and compiler design.
Audi(and heck even BMW, Merc and non lux makers) sell many more variants of their vehicles in Europe. Estates/Avants/Station wagons are the SUV of Europe. Its much easier to make 30+ mpg in one of those than a body on frame V-8 suburban...
