Hi, author here. I haven't tested it on ClojureScript yet, but since core.async is supported by CLJS I don't see the reason why it wouldn't work there as well.

If it doesn't, let me know on Github and I'll look into it! I don't have any experience with CLJS, but I'm interested in learning so it'd be a good excuse.
Not really.

When you calculate the stock price minus alibaba valuation increase, Yahoo is still declining (in fact Alibaba has MORE value than Yahoo itself, resulting in Yahoo having "negative" value)
Do you live in Melbourne? You could go to "York butter factory" (some kind of shared workspace), they usually have lots of people there and more when they have 'talks' or whatnot.
There is a long history of trying out different ways to teach physics to undergraduates. In my undergraduate college the faculty experimented with starting with quantum mechanics and ending up with classical physics; introductory calculus was sometimes taught using nonstandard analysis. My thesis advisor in graduate school wrote an intro physics text that included simulations from the beginning, in the `80s. He even wrote a special version of Basic that used vectors to make it easier for students. In Germany it's popular to teach mechanics using momentum currents instead of the force concept.

I agree that introducing numerics early is risky: it's easy to get what looks like a smooth, convergent solution from a naive calculation that happens to be wrong.
> I cant recall a luckier, more overrated CEO in my career than Marissa Mayer.

Short memory, short career or just sexist? In less than 2 years at Yahoo, Mayer brought in unprecedented leadership in a byzantine group left unmanaged for years.

Doesn't Ballmer beat her wildly in being lucky/overrated 2001 to 2011? Remember the disastrous yahoo buy out in 2008? Talk of being lucky that it failed. Or Blackberry?

Mayer turned around Yahoo's perception and fixed key products. She pointed out a talent and reputation issue and tried to solve that (http://qz.com/184046/yahoo-says-marissa-mayer-has-fixed-its-...) - should Yahoo just have done and bought nothing because of increasing valuations?

There's no actual point to ad hom like this. Yahoo's strategy is not solely Mayer's. It may not be working, you can disagree with it, it's plain populist to single out Mayer.
There isn't a high-pressure career you can choose that is friendlier to families than startup entrepreneurship, at least in the common case. I'd like to do what I can to end the myth that families and startups are incompatible.

Consider:

Biglaw is full of men and women associates who are having their first child. Compare the work for a biglaw associate and a startup:

* The associate might have up to 50% travel, which is rigidly scheduled

* Both the associate and the entrepreneur expect to work more than 60 hours a week.

* But the associate is formally required to work 60+ hour weeks, and the entrepreneur merely averages 60+ hour weeks.

* The associate spends the majority of their working time at a prescribed office working in person with other associates and partners. The tech entrepreneur not only expects to be able to work from home often, but their team might not even be colocated with them at all.

* The associate's day is spent in face-to-face meetings, often with clients, which can't be scheduled at their convenience.

The same is true of Big 4 accountants, management consultants, don't get me started on investment bankers, and I'd imagine the bullets for medical residents would shoot all the way down the page.

I'm not even convinced that startup entrepreneurship is the hardest job on families in tech. For instance: thousands of people in the tech industry work as pre-sales engineers, and have 30-50% travel burdens.

No. You get physical symptoms from sleep depredation. You can't think these problems away but you can convince yourself you aren't having them. Doesn't actually change your body's need for sleep.

http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/excessive-sleepiness-10...?

From the article:

Sleep Loss Impairs Judgment, Especially About Sleep

Lack of sleep can affect our interpretation of events. This hurts our ability to make sound judgments because we may not assess situations accurately and act on them wisely.

Sleep-deprived people seem to be especially prone to poor judgment when it comes to assessing what lack of sleep is doing to them. In our increasingly fast-paced world, functioning on less sleep has become a kind of badge of honor. But sleep specialists say if you think you’re doing fine on less sleep, you’re probably wrong. And if you work in a profession where it’s important to be able to judge your level of functioning, this can be a big problem.

“Studies show that over time, people who are getting six hours of sleep, instead of seven or eight, begin to feel that they’ve adapted to that sleep deprivation -- they’ve gotten used to it,” Gehrman says. “But if you look at how they actually do on tests of mental alertness and performance, they continue to go downhill. So there’s a point in sleep deprivation when we lose touch with how impaired we are.”

Sleep plays a critical role in thinking and learning. Lack of sleep hurts these cognitive processes in many ways. First, it impairs attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem solving. This makes it more difficult to learn efficiently.

Second, during the night, various sleep cycles play a role in “consolidating” memories in the mind. If you don’t get enough sleep, you won’t be able to remember what you learned and experienced during the day.

>You will be surprised how long you can go sleepless, when that is the only option you have

Doesn't mean it's healthy. Doesn't mean that you are performing at max capacity.
Exactly - every time I hear someone like ESR troll the FSF about why they should support "open source" instead and embrace proprietary software, I have to wonder what they're thinking. The sole purpose of the FSF is to promote free software.

If the FSF had come out in support of this, I would have said that they're shirking on their responsibility. The FSF has been known to make compromises for the sake of pragmatism in the past, if and only if such compromises actually promote free software[1]. DRM in the browser is a very different case, though.

It reminds me of the Republican party leader[0] in 2009 who said, on the topic of healthcare, 'It's over. Democrats lost. The people spoke, and they don't want healthcare. They want lower taxes. Democrats need to move on.'[2]

[0] It may have been Eric Cantor, but I can't remember

[1] e.g., using the LGPL instead of the GPL for glibc: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html

[2] It's actually even worse than that, because political parties change their platforms over time, but since healthcare has been the crux of the Democratic party platform for half a century, it's the closest thing to a fixed principle as politics has.

I think your experience is exactly how all of these other parents are reacting.

It seems that the parents are getting frustrated because they don't understand it, and would rather insist on using their methods.

Don't get me wrong, it's valuable to know how to do something simply, but I think that the underpinnings of doing it the 'chunk' way show students how to break very large, seemingly overwhelmingly complex problems into smaller bits.
I live in Iceland now, and while paved roads were not all that common at the time, it's not like they were barely-visible paths through the lava fields either.

But yes, in the area the article is talking about, the ground is a patchwork of these fissures, which could easily conceal a body. On the other hand, there would be almost no way to wander all that far from the road without knowing it.

It's not impossible that he would have died of exposure and never been found, but I don't think it's all that likely.
Why? Are you implying that it's going to do something nefarious because it's made by an Asian/Chinese company? How would you feel if people said that about American products? Maybe I should be scared about getting irradiated from American products because Americans have killed a metric ton of people using nuclear weapons within the last century?
Mozilla is still against DRM, but it is secondary to their mission to provide access to web standards. The EFF's lack of effectiveness is not a defense. They do good work, but more is needed. In this case, it's not fair to point the finger for a joint loss.
You mean for developers? I don't think users care which standards body does or doesn't endorse the content they're trying to view.

Yes, thank you FSF for being the stronghold of my freedom. I was expecting Mozilla to keep standing with the same comprise, but they are disappointing me as user :-(
Isn't that exactly my point? Maintaining their (that is, Google's) majority is more important to them than a small financial loss as they make more money off those firefox users indirectly. If they didn't, they would probably write them off as a loss and let mozilla direct them somewhere else, especially since a majority would likely add google to their search engine list anyway.
convention over configuration is the motto on Rails and ASP.Net MVC is actually the opposite so that's why OP says it was the biggest differentiator between the two frameworks.
But that's entirely the reason Netflix wants this. They don't want to create a separate application for every platform. EME offloads the cross-platform responsibility onto the browser vendor.
I've recently done the same. Still trying to get my work environment set up decently. We need some sort of user group for people doing 4k programming to exchange ideas, tools, methods, etc.

If we should train our guns somewhere it should be at the W3C; the guardians of web standards. W3C shouldn't have legitimized this feature by bringing it into standards discussions. The media companies would have had to comply eventually. They had no future without distribution over the internet. Now of course, they have hope.

Mozilla had no chance once Google, MS, Apple and everybody else decided to support EME. Most users don't care if they fought for open standards. They are probably just going to say that Firefox sucks.

If you ask me, Mozilla could be the most important software company in the world. The stuff they are building today is fundamental to an open internet for the future. It is important that they stay healthy for what lies ahead.
Bah... I can tell you why the first algorithm/example works because of the commutative and associative properties of math. Learning "why" a solution works, doesn't require learning some arcane algorithm.

If kids don't learn how to do these problems quickly, they'll never be able to do higher order problems in a timely fashion.
True enough, unless a family member installed Firefox with an IE theme for them and changed the icon, which I have seen happen before. Either way, a user without a clue will switch without understanding the underlying issues.
It's anecdotal I know, but for me the math table rote memorization was extremely detrimental to my learning of mathematics. It forced a mind set that implied that to be good at math you needed to be able to remember senseless unrelated facts, when in reality most of the advanced mathematics this will lead you completely astray as you cannot keep every formula in your head and it is much better to be able to derive them.

The book A Mathematician's Lament really registered with me due to this experience.

So, while I don't know enough about educational theory or the Common Core mathematics curriculum specifically to say for sure that it is better than rote memorization, I can say my bias makes me think nothing could be worse.

The math practices I see elementary school kids doing under Common Core seems to be way more like "real" mathematics than what I did at that age.

I will say, I worry about the population of elementary school teachers who are asked to implement this, as a generalization they are the least likely to have taken advanced mathematics in university.

Sure, tables are useful, but they are very far from the be-all-end-all of primary school education, which they very much were for me when I was younger (you were good or bad at maths based on how good you were at your times-tables, which is hardly a good way to motivate people who enjoy mathematics, but don't excel at rote memorisation)

I think you are missing the point very hard on why RIM failed.

I am one that would own a RIM phone, IF, IF, and only IF they had made it easy to code applications for it like Apple and Google did for their phones.

RIM noticed now and BB10 is seemly really interesting, but now they are too late, there are no apps on their phone.

And I say that, because I ABSOLUTELY HATE touchscreen, it NEVER do what I want, I own a Xperia Play, and many times I prefer to use the Playstation controls to control the phone, the touchscreen is unstable, finnicky, don't work when it is raining, or when my hand is wet, or sweaty, and so on...

Although the primes are included in the patent, are they the subject of the patent?
Follow the logic here:-
If NO: Then they themselves are not patented but the "Partial modular reduction method" is.
If YES: Then these specific primes were an intrinsic part of the patent then I can use the "Partial modular reduction method" with different primes and crypto-primitives and not risk prosecution for patent infringement.
But I want to watch my netflix without having to jump through more hoops than I do already (running it on Linux).

Well you have to take into consideration that most of the population of this world can't afford to buy a smartphone.

Then you have to think that in 3rd world countries acquiring a smartphone means success... and of course that smartphone is going to run on android.

This is true in some cases, but I gotta say I'm glad myspace seems to have nuked everything I left on there from middle school except a profile pic. It would be horrid if that stuff was left up for the world to see and I'd forgotten my log in credentials to delete it.
She's not, of course. The people who claim she is tend to be pushing a fantasy concept of international law.
Yes, I was using open source as a catch all term for free, both because free is far easier to misunderstand, and because free tends to create negative connotations for many people, especially at the large scale end.

Open source is very easy to misunderstand, as well. A lot of companies have been abusing the term by giving (limited) source code access without any actual rights to the code itself, and then calling their products "open source".

I know the FSF disapproves of that usage, but it seems convenient to me, it's one of the most common descriptions I see, and the alternatives are primarily acronym-based like FOSS, FLOSS, etc. and don't roll off the tongue as easily.

It's funny, because "convenience over ethics" is one of the major points that the FSF opposes. And there is a smooth and unequivocal alternative: libre.
Fair points. Now that you mention it, the CYA rationale makes a bit more sense. And yup - it's like you said, it's almost impossible to not be contributing to other Internet users in some regard most of the time, with peering really being the LCD of those situations. Hell, being the host in a Halo matchmaking game would be enough for them to nuke your service, by contract logic. Also, good idea on the tweet/etc - even a simpler option would be doing something like a text file on S3 that just flags it as on/off, and let the script poll that every so often. I think I'll do that.

Aside, but as an unreasonably paranoid person, I appreciate the candor WRT "screw it, I do it anyway" - this (personal media hosting/availability) specifically has been a pain point for a while, and with a decent pipe to the house and plenty of storage, it'd be a shame to let it all go to waste. ;)

What irks me the most about this whole "web must move forward" mentality is that machines that would otherwise be perfectly usable for the sorts of basic tasks one used to be able to do even without these new web technologies (i.e. read email, news, etc.) are being obsoleted and scrapped by people buying newer, much faster hardware --- only to be used just for those same basic tasks again.

I don't want to sound like I'm astroturfing, but I genuinely think they're interesting. Maybe I should clarify: I don't think they are at the same quality level as, say, Apple. The phone is still plastic galore and MIUI certainly isn't as elegant as iOS.

However, amidst all the Chinese companies that are churning out cheap electronics, Xiaomi doesn't seem to be content to "just" churn out clones.

Except, maybe, one of their new routers that has a design copied from an iPad stand.

It certainly has its detriments, but my point still stands: if you go into Algebra I without knowing your math tables, you're going to hit a brick wall.

"Motivation" at a higher sense is something that's sorely lacking in US public school (free government school) math. Especially prior to real algebra, the teachers tend to be generalists who don't know to tell you "you need to learn X so you can learn Y which will allow you to solve problems like Z" and of course get you to understand why Z is neat and important. But that's a different sort of problem that just not making sure all students capable have the foundation they need.

Signed up to the beta and read the article but there is no info on how you will beat the volatility. The simplistic view is that you convert btc to fiat but hold the btc yourself. When price goes down you lose money, when price goes up you make money. I just don't see too many people wanting to protect themselves from drops at the expense of any gains. The article even says there has been a long term upward trend so it makes sense for your business if that holds true. However I expect people will withdraw in times of growth and redeposit during drops, thus reducing your opportunity for profit. Will there be restrictions on withdrawals?

As usual though the problem comes down to needing to store my BTC with you, at that stage I no longer control the BTC and am reliant on your honesty.

Now if you managed to make it work with the Trezor, whereby I control the private keys even if the coins are stored on your system then I can see it gaining some traction.
