The thing is, non technical users usually don't actually know what they want. To me this is half of the skill as developer is trying to get what they need, not what they think they need.

For example, my users ask for "another excel to upload this to the database". I know that excel is a terrible error prone solution, so refused, and gave them a web interface, with immediate feedback about errors. They are pleased with the result, because the information is taken from the database, not cut and pasted out of the database into excel, then parsed again. Speaking to the user is important.

The other problem is time estimation, which as most developers will tell you, is not easy.

Living in the country is good for the mind, body, soul, and budget. Having a big dog that's with you all day long will improve your mood and motivate you to exercise (because you won't get a damn thing done with an energetic critter that needs attention). And while you're out walking, running or hiking with your new best friend (sans mobile device), you'll stimulate your creative faculties and solve problems you've been "stuck" on in your head.

> It's madness.

I strongly agree.

I weep for what the web could have been. I don't think people realise what they're losing. Sure, you get some nice CSS or JS stuff, but we've lost platform independence.

Over the years there have been a few campaigns with little banner-buttons. Some of those have been bad ([BEST VIEWED WITH IE!]) but some of them were good.

It would be amazing if there was a campaign to get websites to validate, and to fall-back gracefully, and to be accessible.

I'd also love it if web creators would test sites on real hardware and real networks. My iPhone / android / 3G stick on GiffGaff or (what was) T-Mobile in SW UK is probably much worse than whatever you're using.
This is a very good opinion, tightly argued based on the precedent. And frankly, unsurprising given the relevant precedent (Diehr, Benson, Mayo).

The opinion has three parts:

1) The Court identifies the abstract idea contained in the patent as the general concept of intermediated settlement. (Slip. Op. at 9) The key takeaway here is the discussion about whether an "abstract idea" has to be on the level of a "law of nature" in order to be excluded. The Court says that an abstract idea need not reduce to some fundamental truth that has always existed. It is sufficient for it to be a "fundamental economic practice" or "longstanding commercial practice," like the concept of "risk hedging" in Bilski. (Slip. Op. at 10)

2) The Court looks to see if the patent adds anything more to the abstract idea, and concludes that all it does is describe how to implement the idea in a general computer, in the generic and conventional way. (Slip. Op. at 12, 15) The Court analogizes to Mayo, in which it decided that the claimed method amounted to no more than instructing doctors as to how to use a well-known process for measuring metabolite levels to diagnose their patients. (Slip. Op. at 11) The Court states that the claimed method simply describes how to instruct a computer to perform the abstract idea of intermediating settlement. The Court makes a point of noting that the computer implementation described here is "wholly generic" and that "[i]n short, each step does no
more than require a generic computer to perform generic
computer functions." (Slip. Op. at 13, 15)

3) The Court concludes that the "system" claims are no different in substance from the method claims: "But what petitioner characterizes as specific hardware—a
'data processing system' with a 'communications controller' and 'data storage unit,' for example, see App. 954,
958, 1257—is purely functional and generic. Nearly every
computer will include a 'communications controller' and
'data storage unit' capable of performing the basic calculation, storage, and transmission functions required by the method claims." (Slip. Op. at 16)

> Finally, this is a project that has the opportunity not only to improve community engagement in journalism, but to strengthen the web itself. Technologies like Backbone.js, D3, and Django have all been forged and tested in the demanding environment of the newsroom, and then gone on to transform the way people build on the web. We don’t know that there’s a Backbone lurking inside this project, but we’re sure as hell going to find out.

The most successful from-journalism projects don't seem to be "projects", per se, but libraries built to "scratch" a major itch: Backbone (and UnderscoreJS) were abstracted from the front-end patterns of the DocumentCloud project (http://blog.documentcloud.org/blog/2010/10/code-drop-backbon...)...Django was created after developers at the Lawrence, KS newspaper got tired of building structured-data apps from scratch (http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter01.html#django-s-his...)...

IMO, these libraries succeeded because they grew organically and iteratively, from the needs of closely-knit developers (or sole developer). Moreover, they are agnostic...Django is not just a MVC framework suited for the news, but suited for all kinds of data applications. Similarly, D3js doesn't care if the data visualization is for a news story or some business app.

It's a different scenario to create something big...in this case, basically a social network for media company users...and to create it for the news business. I'm not sure that having big dreams and a news-focused mission is necessarily a harbinger of success.

But you have to consider R&D costs. If they get one million people to buy this phone over the next year, how many of those customers will buy more products from Amazon than they already were?

At $199, my gut tells me that the early adopters of this phone will largely be people who already use Amazon regularly.

The term "big winner" to me implies that the thought process is that they will win out over Samsung and Apple in the long run, but I don't think that is very likely anytime soon. I don't hate the move by Amazon because you have to start somewhere, but predicting them the winner as this device is first launched is very optimistic in my eyes.
Really really vapid 'article'. It's kind of empty of any real content which indicates to me some kind of voting ring or manipulation seeing this so high on the front page.

For a while I was working on a Haskell-based macro system that compiles TeX-like source to HTML and LaTeX (and whatever else you like) (https://github.com/jgm/HeX). You'd write your macro definitions in a Haskell program, then run this program on the textual source to produce output. What's nice about this is that you can use Haskell's module system to organize your macros, and Haskell's type checker to check for errors. The macros are just Haskell functions, and the types of the functions determine what kinds of arguments are consumed by the macro. I'd like to come back to this some time.
While this is mostly based on hearsay, what about Steve Jobs?

>>> just eat at a caloric deficit and you'll lose weight and the overall health may improve considerably.

This is completely true.

I was a D1 athlete through college. Once I graduated and stopped playing, my weight went through the roof. I went from 160lbs to almost 190lbs. I started having back problems and my doctor said I already had some arthritis in my back from both hockey and soccer. I was having a lot of back pain in the morning and during the day.

The doctor told straight up to lose some weight and change my diet. He said taking the additional weight off well help my back a lot; even a few pounds will make a huge difference.

I changed my diet, started doing yoga and stretching before and after my hockey games. Within a few weeks I could tell a huge difference, even though it took me a few more months to get back to around 170. The loss of the weight and stretching made a HUGE difference.

Good luck Moz.An exemple of what not to do is the Huffpo comment plateform.

It is so horrible they are downgrading to Facebook comments(which are horrible too but at least one can follow comments without context switching). I wonder who thought comments in popups were great UX,horrible and stupid.

Keep the think simple and readable.Dont over do realtime features.When I read something I dont want my eyes to be distracted with "X new comments" notifications. Dont over nest either. Limiting nesting levels is good for the discussion flow. And of course,the main job is to make moderation easy.

Actually, that's my preference too. But for certain topics, even after you grasp the principles, there are certain things that are going to surprise you until you get more experience. You can identify these in advance and find they will surprise most learners. So the kata approach is supplementary, kind of like well chosen exercises in a good textbook.

Ask: HackDiningNYC next weekend Building the A Team. HELP WANTED.
Hi Hackers!

Food Tech Connect's Hack Dining NYC is approaching next weekend, June 27-29. I just bought my plane ticket and am journeying from Lake Tahoe with a pretty cool idea and a marketable unused .com to create something unique and win.

Seeing if anyone is interesting in attending and possibly forming a team before the event. I've done a couple of these before, winning money and prizes in the last one, but team building seemed to be the challenge vs. building something cool.

Teams can have up to five. Ideally two coders, one UX and maybe another wildcard. Personally I've been an owner in foodservice, consulted for many, and years of sales & mktg, so I have a decent taste for the market.

Food is really hot right now and personally I'd like to win this and continue to build the project, take it to an accelerator and see where it goes.

I'd put the name out there, but don't have the app reserved yet so a bit hesitent, but it's a winner.

So there you go-- invitation to the future is out there. Would love to find cool, smart people who love food and its possibilities to build a team.

Bonus Points if you have a couch or spot on your floor to crash, because I can't stay at the Ritz.

Thanks for considering. Happy Eating.
Good that it's pretty easy to change elastic search provider with little downtime. I'd recommend checking out found.no. We've been pleased with performance and stability. Heck - I can't recall any downtime at all.

You might be right, that it will go live earlier. And that the 2 year period is just the period that funding is available for. I interpreted tfa as it will go live in 2 years.
I find it interesting to compare "second tier" 4chan boards like /g/ (technology) to the discussion boards of other websites (like arstechnica). Typically, a place like /g/ compares very well, if not better.

Sites like to blame things like the "Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory", but I think most of the blame lays on the site for having poor moderation.
We have in-house designers and developers. If we get more work than we can handle we have a few trusted designers and developers that we've worked with to help us keep up.
Are going to direct bill the client? Not sure that would be my first choice. if not then just cut the estimate. I would think this whole thing could go bad quick. what if the client isn't happy with your work and doesn't pay me. What happens if the client isn't happy and they don't pay you would I still get my commission?
Don't get me wrong, I support some of the initiatives as well, I just wish those initiatives had a less self-interested leader.

I've never played Diplomacy before so take this with a grain of salt...but that seems like it should be against the rules. Or is it his fault for not being present when you read the orders?
You are right, and the fact that people are just dismissing you out of hand is frightening. It shows a lack of even the interest to understand how off-base they are.
What Would You Do?
Suppose that you're a programmer for a company of a thousand employees that makes embedded systems for some market. You're frequently tasked with fixing automated tests written by QA.

The test framework used to test your company's hardware system is a real bear to work with. It was written in Java by some guy who talked his way into a job, who didn't actually know Java. When he left, it was inherited by other bad programmers, including people in QA.

The key to creating good API's and frameworks, according to Scott Meyers, anyway, is making them easy to use correctly, and hard to use incorrectly. This test framework is neither of those things. The framework is so bad that, when a test fails, no one is really sure if it's a bug in the product, in the test, or in the framework; there's barely any logging, and exceptions are always swallowed, so no one ever really knows what happened.

Unfortunately, because this test framework isn't customer-facing, management won't allocate time to improve it.

Barring looking for another job, you see two options:

1. Ignore how bad it is, do the bare minimum to get these automated tests working temporarily, and get the tasks off your plate.

2. Revamp the framework from the ground up -- a big task -- in your free time, with the hopes that your laundry list of gripes can be resolved, and you will no longer be asked to fix automated tests based on a crappy framework.

What do you do?

This gets even bigger if they throw their IP muscle behind it like they do with ICC. If you can get (for pay or free) fast matrix multiply, FFT, crypto, etc cores for the FPGA you will see even faster adoption.

If they're clever enough to make some of those IP cores available to say MATLAB adoption will be faster still.

Nothing sells hardware easier than "do no extra work but spend another couple of grand and see your application speed up significantly"
I can confirm. I design distributed databases; this "explanation" is one of the worst I have ever seen (which is saying something).

Judging by your comment history, you seem to exist here just to make derogatory remarks about reddit. Could be time to move on to more fertile ground before your account goes [dead].

I don't know how much competition they're giving Xilinx, but Altera is doing the same thing with the same high performance ARM core: http://www.altera.com/devices/processor/soc-fpga/overview/pr... As the fine article notes, Intel is now doing some fabbing for Altera.

I've gotten the impression that putting a general purpose CPU in the corner of an FPGA was a pretty standard thing.

One of the things that should differentiate this new effort from Intel is FPGA "direct access to the Xeon cache hierachy and system memory" per "general manager of Intel's data center group, Diane Bryant".

One of the biggest companies in the world invited us the little guy innovator to demo our new technology. They were down right NASTY and mean.

I say this not because they didn't buy us out, but because we spent our money to fly to the valley to demo our tech only to learn they blocked our tech from working and said things like, you better run the race is on.

They also baited us with money and opportunity if we told them how our tech worked. We took the bait and they kicked us out!

Not sure why they had to be such jerks!?!

Just as a clarification, the proposals are to add multi-dimensional slices (dynamically sized arrays). This statement is splitting hairs, but a Matrix is a container for numeric types that can do things like multiply and have a cholesky decomposition. A multi-dimensional slice is just a container for whatever you want. Such a container is very useful for matrices, but a package would still have to turn a multi-dimensional slice into a Matrix in order to add methods like Add.
