Here is Cedric Champeau's blog post "Groovy on Android" which contains the slides to his presentation:
http://melix.github.io/blog/2014/06/grooid.html

Work towards running Groovy on Android has been going on for years, but with this new PR <https://github.com/groovy/groovy-core/pull/436> and the (unofficial?) announcement of Groovy 2.4 it looks like it's finally here.
Have you tried mind mapping, particularly the Buzan method?
I don't know what it is, but somehow being in front of a laptop reduces my cognitive ability significantly :/. I actually take notes on a tablet just so that my notes are all in one place but I kind of wonder if I should go back to paper. It's not even the distraction possibilities I think, though that does happen. I can have some task to do, open up my laptop to do it, and then instantly forget what it was I wanted to do, then go on HN/reddit for a while and then realize I was supposed to be doing something...
Code that will only execute once
I'm getting tired of young designers who use things like "this feels so 2004" as an insult, and then proceed to reinvent the mistakes of the past.
I'm not a fan of this project either (see my other comment), but I totally agree with them on this one. Justified text is really hard to get right, even with TeX, InDesign and the like, and simply placing "text-align: justify;" in your CSS will worsen the quality and therefore the readability: Gaps will occur between all words in every other line, which doesn't only look ugly, but also destroys the flow of reading.

Left justification is always preferable over bad full justification; I don't know many (read: any) typographers who would disagree.

The first of Tschichold's Penguin Composition Rules (always worth reading - http://s3.amazonaws.com/tsch/compositionrules.html) says: "All text composition should be as closely word-spaced as possible." By relying on automatic full justification, you violate that rule in cruel ways. "Wide spaces should be strictly avoided."
As it stands, the majority of CA's do not verify any of this information, besides a very cursory email verification.

Exceptions would obviously include higher priced (OV/EV) certificates, which are no different cryptographically. Even the CA mentioned (GlobalSign) states this fairly clearly on their website.[1]

Typing 'sea' brought me Seattle-Tacoma as the first of the list.

But I agree, something like google "I'm feeling lucky" that would :

when you type a 3 letter code, redirects you directly to that airport

or

when you type a city name : redirects you to the main city's airport (For instance, typing Houston and pressing enter should give me George Bush Intercontinental)
Their latest mouse is pretty good for most work related stuff. I don't really like the way it handles the left mouse button, however the touch scroll wheel is very nice, and once you get the hang of the other gestures you can use, it's a bit like a trackpad that you can actually use to drag things.

I break out the Logitech with two side buttons whenever I want to actually do any gaming though. Terrible mouse for gaming with.
I do love having recordings of a lecture, but that is a very recent development and not always offered. Up until somewhere in the 2008-2010 timeframe, recording/storing/serving decent video in a systematic, campus-wide fashion was a very daunting task. (Thankfully the hardware & storage has gotten much cheaper, and people's internet is faster)
Memory bandwidth for the lapping isn't any worse than for a deblocking filter. The difference is that it's not adaptive.

I consider that as a feature. I don’t mind text in 7pt on a small screen if it allows me to find more quickly what I’m looking for.
"Should I leave America if I don't like the NSA?"

Yes. That would probably be the easiest thing. It's not like the NSA are going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe move out of the Area 51 tin-foil campgrounds worrying about who knows when you're in the bathroom. Nobody is forcing you to buy Apple products or any other smartphone for that matter. The world managed just fine before them, and if it makes you happier, I'm sure you'll manage just fine without one too.
I'm a Groovy user and I find that the Groovy developers -- who mostly work for Pivotal and host the project on Codehaus -- do a good job of communicating their roadmap and proposed features.

2.4 is a surprise to me. but a pleasant surprise and likely a release enabled by an unexpected breakthrough by Cedric Champeau.
Holy shit. I did not expect this to ever happen, but I am mighty glad it did.

And thank you for C&H, Mr. Watterson.
I too experienced a plethora of lucid dreaming through my early twenties. Sometimes I would have a few a night for weeks. They tapered off gradually and I have maybe a few a year now (I'm 35).

Many were tied with sleep paralysis, which didn't give me the fear that most people associate with it. Sometimes I could extract my preceptual self from my body and experience walking around the room in a weird lucid dream world. All while simultaneously being aware of my pysical body lying in bed.

I would love to have those dreams again.
You'll be hard-pressed to find any wikipedia article that looks bad with it, unless you zoom in to something like 6 words per line on average.

Edit to your edit: I don't particularly care for your appeal to authority when experience has borne out for me that wildly varying line lenghts hinder reading considerably more than occasional gaps. Besides, your authority doesn't even mention justification or alignment, as such i question your binding his statement to that matter.
They are mostly Europeans and it is late Saturday night, so I'd cut them some slack. I'll post on Twitter and see if they can respond when the wake up on Sunday.
not before destroying your habitat!
Inspirational for sure but never boring.
Considering how new the term is we shouldn't so easily define it else we end up like hackers, which is broadly defined but has a negative perception in public.
Looks very Ruby-esque.
This is just so insanely insane. I have such mixed feelings about this.

On one hand, it's really exciting that Apple is taking these huge steps in making our lives as programmers easier. And yeah, I wish they had done this when JSTalk came out, but better late than never.

On the other hand, it really sucks that JavaScript is the new universal scripting language. Swift and JavaScript are now the two blessed languages on Apple platforms. I mean, I get why, but man, JS is just so awful.
Its the poor man's Edward Snowden.
If I type an exact code and hit search it should go through. I should not have to select from the dropdown
I have tried a few mind map software and tried doing it with a pen and paper. It works better with pen and paper. With software I often get bogged down in the incidental complexity of using the software itself and it distracts from the actual information.

Mind maps are useful for consolidating and summarizing a large pile of new information. Say the components of an operating system kernel. Or how sorting algorithms works. Stuff like that. Usually with lectures, smaller more focused concepts are presented, so then I still mostly take notes with outlines and diagrams. But when studying for exams, I might letter build a mind-map from the notes.

At some point in high-school I sort of discovered the Buzan (repetitive recall) method on my own. In the Soviet Union, in schools quite often one had oral exams. Where have 100 questions related to anything you learned in the semester or year. And then when you come in, you have to randomly pick from one of the 100 question. Well that means you need to have a mind-map like understanding of pretty much everything. So students studied for the big final test some number of weeks. During those weeks I discovered how certain cyclical summarization and repetition worked best. Also discovered that sugar helps memorize stuff.
Agreed would expect most use to be mobile
A good example of companies and open source projects having a little humour and showing that they're human too.
Your reading is correct, and the article is nonsense (well, not the part that reports the data, but the part that tries to draw conclusions from it), particularly since the unbeatable strategy is to play purely at random (the game is a variant of rock paper scissors).

Fun factoid: humans are bad random number generators (our brains are optimized for finding patterns, not for scrambling them), so if you ever have to play iterated rock paper scissors (including the variant in the article) against a better opponent (so you want to fall back on a randomized strategy) without external tools, the best thing to do is use a memorized pseudorandom sequence (the first dozen digits of pi, some simple hash function of words from your favorite song lyrics etc.)
Actually, the first line of the first article that I F12'ed looked horrible. (Despite 18 words per line.) Typography is a really subtle craft.
I'd call Japan a de-facto nuclear power, as they've easily got the technical know-how and the materials to become one at will. If they ever lost the US nuclear umbrella, I suspect they'd have them in short order. It wouldn't be particularly surprising if they have plans and some parts already in existence for that contingency.
You know, Apple essentially made a new way to build full-fledged Cocoa applications using a dynamic interactive language. You could literally write a whole GUI app in a single JS file without even touching Xcode. That's... kinda awesome.
What's your sleep cycle like? Do you tend to fall asleep out of utter exhaustion, or do you tend to give yourself a reasonable bedtime and wind down period. I've found that I dream lucidly a lot less when I've let my sleep hygene go to crap.

As an aside, because of being a naturally lucid dreamer, nightmares confuse me and on the rare event I have them -- once or twice a decade -- they freak me out a lot more. That absolute loss of control of one's subconscious mind is near unfathomable to me. I can remember being six or seven and my sister telling me about a nightmare she had and me being absolutely confused about them; the thoughts of being injured in a dream was just something that happened in movies.
Maybe to keep it gender neutral?
In addition to global market size possibly being bigger, I believe Uber is capturing a bigger market size by targeting low end cost spectrum. Case in point, I rarely use cabs but have used Uber on and off for rides to places. It may just be me but I believe even in this market alone, the market size is bigger overall.

Add in the fact that Uber is tackling on new mediums like local delivery and the market size gets bigger yet again.
It's also worth noting that not even PHP itself passes their own test suite. At the time of writing http://gcov.php.net/viewer.php?version=PHP_5_5 states:

Overview of PHP_5_5

Build Status: OK
Last Build Time: 2 days

Compile Warnings: 611
Code Coverage: 0.3%
Test Failures: 78
Expected Test Failures: 42
Valgrind Reports: 44

The "Expected Test Failures" is fascinating.

Is this a reference to some earlier comment? Or just a general shout out to a hero of the programmer?
My experience of taking notes that way on the Surface Pro 2 wasn't fantastic. It feels different to a pen and paper and that's probably my biggest issue

The screen is a little too narrow to be comfortable in a portrait fashion and too heavy to hold in landscape. The pen also has some calibration issues which makes my handwriting much larger and less legible than it would be on a notepad.

The SP3 should fix those issues, I think.

It's a little better for mind mapping since I'm able to move the page around, erase stuff and use colours, but I have to hold it in landscape. I think the larger screen of the SP3 would help there too though.
Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't collect your history but rather can test whether you have visited a URL before. While still a problem, it's certainly a different thing.
They were probably acquired by VirnetX, like so many NPEs' portfolios are built.
I imagine that it may have been somewhat simple for GM to implement a system to prevent this, but from another perspective I also can conceive that such a system might effect GM's bottom line negatively. If having engineers cut corners on their own (likely with the encouragement of management) saves money, incompetent upper managers might pad their bonuses with these little cut corners(an out of spec switch here, a faulty connection there). Normally this just means small problems for consumers down the line, this time it just ended up killing people. So who gets blamed? The guy at the bottom? I'm not buying it.
"Proper hyphenation makes for a balanced right edge of the text column and looks way better."

This is the caption below a full-justified image with several words broken by hyphens - which looks awful, and, more importantly, is harder to read. I'd much rather deal with the occasional 'river' than read hyphen-wrapped words.
This vector has been known for many years.
Your claims would hold more weight if you actually demonstrated them. Also it would be nice if you actually marked your copious edits into your post as edits.
That's true, but PHP still passes the vast majority of its tests.
No, sometimes the generator will come up with boring_wozniac, and they just catch that case.
Read the source - it's a random name generator that pairs adjectives + names.
Can we say something about using goto?
If you are unaware, the base-language of Rust lacks a runtime. This limits what can easily be done in terms of reflection, when compared to languages like C# and Java.

or a loop that is not guaranteed to end?
Because if Big Government owned those patents then Job Producers wouldn't be able to make so many jobs for Hard-Working Americans.

They probably have them through US installations in the country.
Why? To be sure they should be used sparingly, but it looks it makes enough sense in this particular case and isn't single-handedly going to cause any spaghetti-code problems.

In this particular case I think a goto fits the bill.
i've finally got my brain wrapped around to believing that referer is the correct spelling within the context of HTTP. Any time i need to talk about a referer, it's spelled referer. if it's spelled referrer, it must mean something else.
> I just think it's not very useful to call every NPE a troll.

Simple explanation: if they make their money from suing people, it's a troll.

On a mobile device, so can't research much, but a couple of things:

1) The claims are incredibly broad, and I'm surprised they have held up so far. Many such patents issued back then (it happens much more rarely these days) but even by those standards this is broad. Without indulging too much in the sin of simplifying claims, they basically cover detecting if a server supports secure connections, and if so, establishing a VPN instead of a normal connection. One of the patents covers a DNS server which indicates whether a server supports secure connections.

2) One of the comments on TFA, which is significant if true (would be good if someone could verify):

> If you read through the court docs, the actual royalty imposed was 0.52%. It was Apple's various shenanigans and lies (partial and outright) to the court that prompted additional penalties up to a 0.98% rate.

Similar things have happened in the past, e.g. In i4i, where a Microsoft lawyer was sanctioned for insisting plaintiff was a patent troll. However, in that case the lawyer paid the price rather than the company as a whole. In any case, even 0.52% is incredibly high a single minor feature. I guess the lesson here is clear: don't piss off the court.
Just curious, but are things so tilted to the left here on HN that supporting a different political view/platform needs to be justified somehow?
Yes, it would be crazy if it could collect history. But it can be used to target ads much better and create user "profiles" (and track users by cookies on a network of websites) and for example much better target products on an e-commerce website... It doesn't have to be used for evil, but it certainly can, and can be automated.
If you use it responsibly, I don't see much problem.
"6-months" isn't a statute of limitations in this idea. The govt could still investigate later.
Windows phone 8.1 also seem to have COLR/CPAL support.
I guess it depends on your definitions. I agree that the most important use case for Wikipedia is editing, but the primary use case is reading. Out of stereotypical 100 users, only 1 creates and only a further 9 edit on wikipedia, apparently (from a few years ago). They might instead consider that the primary use is the most important?
It's not about male or female people, but about a linguistic feature where certain words are syntactically "masculine" or "feminine". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_gender#Correlation...
For sure that'd be useful for AAA dev, but unless the console manufacturers are willing to incorporate it into the official toolchains it's dead in the water.
So you're saying in practice copyleft and hence open source doesn't really work, you have to patent and then license for free to protect your users. How does this impact innovation based on the ideas you have patented?
HyperTalk was brilliant because everything seemed to just naturally work. The grammar and object model were both highly intuitive – you really could just guess the right syntax.

AppleScript and HyperTalk are aesthetically very similar but every time I have to write something in AppleScript I get oddball parse errors that I can never decipher and I need to randomly try things until an approach succeeds (for reasons I don't understand) or I give up.

Where HyperTalk was friendly and forgiving, AppleTalk is punishing.
hopefully they will loose more money then they made from patents
Using 'Die' for an English-speaking audience would cause more confusion, I think. Instead of thinking "The Reference", most would initially think "Who would want to kill this Referenz guy?". 'Die' in English is never pronounced the way it is in German. So while Das Referenz may be awful German, it's more evocative of German than the correct term to the English ear. Just a guess, though.

Console games frequently use alternate languages, for example UnrealScript, Lua, and JavaScript. Of course, these are interpreted instead of compiled, but I'm told that AOT compilation is not a deal-breaker.

I suspect that any integration would be gradual, with some parts written in C++ and some written in Rust. This is the path we're following with Servo, after all.
All tools can be misused. Goto has a dark past, but it can still be used responsibly. It's almost like generalizing a concept like OOP to be bad because horrible code can be made with it.
PRNGs don't work that way. They have periods over which all possible output values are produced, close to an equal number of times. Even when producing tuples, we know that this won't loop forever.
Interesting .. I tend to "become" lucid in the middle of a non-lucid dream (nightmare or otherwise). Rarely will I be lucid from the get go.

So when I gain "control", the initial scenario is set. Sometimes, it's quite a fascinating "twist" on recent real-life events. Other times it's Alice and the Wonderland style craziness.

Often I think I'm in a partially Lucid dream. I know I'm dreaming, I can mostly do what I want (including completely changing the scenario) but I am also not in control of everything that happens, particularly what characters appear or what they say/do in response to me. It's a bit like living in an alternative universe.

The strangest aspect is how realistic the characters are, particularly the real-life people. I'll be talking to a friend, and get a conversation that is so like that person that I'll often forget that it was said in a dream. This has led to some strange real-life conversations, lol.
At least in this situation, you can see the entire affected control flow within four lines.

goto generally becomes a problem when suddenly everything is short-circuiting everywhere and you can't see where control's getting passed off to.
Sure. This is a fair use case. Kind of makes more sense than a full while loop, especially since the case is only likely to occur at most once per call to GetRandomName().
It seems that mild goto usage is not uncommon in at least some major golang projects:

Note: gamma wave, not gamma particles. Gamma wave refers to an aspect of brain activity. Maybe I'm the only one who was confused by the title but I feel better knowing people aren't being irradiated for the experiment.
For the nontechnical out there:

This is a random name generator that pairs adjectives with names (e.g. "angry_einstein").

In the unlikely chance the generator returns the pair "boring_wozniak", it discards it and generates another name.
Perhaps the metal parts are manipulated from the outside with magnets somehow?
Wow, so similar. My first lucid dreams were initiated during sleep paralysis. Initially, these episodes were absolutely terrifying (i felt like I was suffocating). Lucid dreaming cured me of this fear .. once I realize i'm in a dream I can change the scenario to something more pleasant.

Or just fly away through the window ;)

I feel sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming are deeply linked phenomena.
As someone who has read hundreds of resumes filling positions, I've got to admit this is not a great template, IMHO. I don't (and shouldn't) care about a candidate's picture/logo and the horizontal rules just burn more space. This strikes me as a template for someone that is trying to take up space.

Frankly, the hackerb.io template is something I'd prefer to read.
