The idea is "best X for most people". They will occasionally recommend some higher-market stuff (IE $1600 for their recommended standing desk) but only when they feel the low-end stuff is junk. I've found them to be fairly reliable. When I've bought or already owned stuff they've recommended it generally has ranged from "decent value" to "great choice" Since they review a range of products for each thing and give tradeoffs its generally a great one-stop place to make decisions on things you don't want to spend a long time researching

What I'm still waiting for is a 1x (~110-120 ppi) 3k (2880 to 3k horizontal pixels) monitor so I can do true dual windowing. I'm currently using a 2560x1440, and horizontal space is a little tight. I don't want to use a 4k monitor as a retina display since I want to just see more pixels w/o multiple monitors. And 4k monitor w/o retina (38"+) is too big for normal viewing. So the ideal size is 2880 to 3k horizontal pixels in 27" to 30".

The only option seems to be the Auria eq278c[1] and eq308c[2], both resolutions are 2880x1620. But since it came out less than 1-2 months, there isn't any reviews for it yet. Its cheaper eq $400 eq276wn claims to be 2880x1620, but reviews says it's actually a 2650x1600, so I'm not going to plunge $750-$1k until there's a good reliable review for it. The other alternative is the new LG 3440 x 1440 [3], but it's not as ideal as 2880x1620 since it requires a bit more head tilting since it's much wider and harder to do 2 vertical windows editing at 1440 vertical pixels.

Awesome! Let me know how it goes and feel free to file as many bugs and issues as you can. I've been saying that I'm going to be releasing v1 soon but school and summer internships have been getting in the way of that, but you might want to take a look at the `dev` branch it is much better than the current v0.3 thats on PyPi, imo.
Film is projected with a shutter operating at twice the frame rate or better, to minimize flicker. It would be unwatchable otherwise. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_projector#Shutter
I think this makes it a perfect opportunity for Apple to swoop in with Retina-based iMacs. It plays right into their style of curating all the hardware components and support developers via their SDKs to create a beautiful 4k experience for end-users.

This is really cool. Anyone know of any good tutorials for learning how to make sounds like this?
So how does someone who is a recruitee get connected with a DECENT recruiter?

All I seem to get are the body shop type places contacting me (aka Robert Half, TEKSystems). I've told them that I would be interested if and only if it would mean a step up, go on to explain my current levels of pay,vacation, sick, bonus, etc, and say if the opportunity isn't better than that, then we have nothing to talk about.

Of course they start trying to hard sell me, and it turns out these places have zero benefits.

I'd entertain discussion with someone looking for my skills that would be willing to pay for them.
Everybody's talking about new glyphs/codepoints, but unicode is actually way more than a list of codepoints.

Note the announcement also includes:

* Changes to the unicode collation algorithm for locale-dependent sorting (I haven't figured out what htey are yet)

* New character properties and values, used for case-changing and line-breaking behavior (i think line-breaking might be locale-dependent too).

* some other stuff

The unicode algorithms for _doing things_ with text in appropriate ways are actually way more mind-blowing to me than just the directory of glyphs. When you start thinking about it and get into the weeds and realize how other languages work very differently than English with regard to some of this stuff -- proper "uppercase" or "sort" or "are these two strings semantically the same" across the global universe of glpyhs -- is _really_ challenging, and unicode does a pretty amazing job of it.

It's sadly way more confusing to figure out if/when the unicode library of your choice has been updated to use unicode 7.0 (or even 6.0) text algorithms and full character database with properties, rather than to figure out if a given font includes the new glpyh or whatever.
Your making assumptions that don't hold up. If you have 1+M in the bank then paying yourself nothing is not a major issue. If your company just got 5+M in funding paying yourself 200k/year is not going to make much difference.

Often paying yourself nothing makes things look better than they are which can be a bad thing. A slightly profitable 3 person company that pays it's founders nothing is not actually profitable.

In the end what you make as CEO is often more important from a signaling standpoint than a survival one. Investors often have the mindset where they don't invest in companies where the CEO makes more than X or less than Y.

Most people are for liberties that they want to exercise in the way they want to exercise them. I would say the number is much closer to 50/50 on things they don't want to exercise. There are quite a few busybodies out there.

yea want to try it but i'm stuck on max 5... max upgrades are more expensive than they're worth & now its splitting into multiple products (max4live,gen) so i'm kindof on an every other generation plan unfortunately.

especially annoying when features you like get deprecated (pluggo, ms. pinky) though i understand gen & max4live both kinda serve as pluggo replacements. all in all its just hard for me to pull the trigger on a $250 upgrade for a few extra integration points on a tool that should be mostly open source anyway.

Busy is an Addiction
An Introduction to Hypercard (1987)
This is assuming that the long tail is independent (no pun intended), but it isn't.

Musical taste is a very complex issue, and lots of people are going to be annoyed that a handful of their favorite bands aren't on youtube anymore. Others are going to be really angry that their entire favorite genre is missing. Are enough people going to pissed off enough for it to hurt their bottom line? My guess is yes, especially after the heavy-handed tactics they've been using to try to force adoption of some of their other services that nobody wants.

The bigger problem is that it damages YouTube's brand. It's not just a video hosting site, it's THE video hosting site. It has everything- cute cats, stupid people eating cinnamon, your favorite music, etc. They're going to have real problems when the average user has to go elsewhere to see a video that she cares about, especially if that elsewhere also has cat videos and doesn't require a Google+ account to comment. Supporting the long tail is the cost of maintaining their monopoly.

Ive never seen "HD Ready" refer to 720. As I remember it, HD Ready meant that the TV was HD (720 or 1080), but it didnt include an ATSC or QAM tuner. It was more like a monitor than a true TV.

The distinction I've seen with 1080p is calling it True or Full HD.
This Twitter account started tweeting The Bible today – 140 chars, every 60 secs
It's a static web page on a Linode I use for other projects and purposes.

Even if millions of people decided to suddenly use it, the cost would be almost nothing.

I might even consider putting the free CloudFlare in front of it to ensure the cost is nothing (one static HTML file cached forever).

Heh, just looked at the source code again... it's a single request web page, not even an external CSS or JavaScript file.

You can't get cheaper really.
The article implies that Final Fantasy was inspired to use "MP" from Ultima III, which used it as an abbreviation of "magic points". The article then goes on to say that the first game to explicitly use "MP" to mean "mana points" was Dungeon Master, which came out the same year as Final Fantasy, but was not a JRPG.
Smell lets you "hear" toughts of people?
I built Smell app for android (soon for iOS too) that lets you "hear" toughts of people around you showing what they think because it gives geolocalization to posts.

Smell lets you share messages, anonymously, in certain places. For instance: If you are in 67^ in New York and write a message on Smell, to see that message you must go in that street and open Smell. So anyone can read the messages left by others as long as they are in the same place where the message was written. You can see it as a way to comment on the world, as a way to denounce something, to leave a reminder pegged at some place or just a way to "hear" the voice of other people before you have been where you are at that precise moment.<p>If you write a message and leave up to 1.5 miles you will not see that message anymore, but if you come back where you posted it you will see again (in realtime). You can try it with some friends. What you think I can do with this simple app? I would like to turn it into B2B business but I don't know how<p>What you think about?

Second this. I picked up a Dell 2414Q (on sale in Canada for $750 CAD) a few weeks ago and it's perfect as a 2x retina 24" external Macbook Pro monitor.

Support on Windows and in games is spotty though. In particular, Windows doesn't seem to have a way to do exact pixel doubling.
Out of curiosity do you have a source for that?

Everything I've ever read about the guy as well as teen series of aircraft (F14, F15, F16 and F18) say he hated the F15 from the start.
There's a ton of these generic MTK-processor-based phones available online; I bought and played with a few a year or two ago. They range from "really crappy" to "pretty nice", but in most all cases you're stuck with the version of Android that they ship with, as there's no ongoing support, no upgrades from the vendor, etc.
In a capitalist society, the key to "a good life" is passing a certain threshold of capital accumulation. The poor, not having much to begin with, has to constantly fight this uphill battle of trying to save more money, of finding more resources constantly, adding to their net worth, etc. This article shows that there is even an adverse psychological effect that makes reaching the goal still harder. All this seems to require big intervention of the governments part to level the playing field and make capital accumulation possible.

Unfortunately in the US, one bad financial decision, one loss of job, one bad case of illness or one trouble at home can reset the pool to 0 and often negative due the extensive background and credit history checking. It is the US government's responsibility to fix this because we submit to its authority, fund its existence and elect its officials for the purpose of trusting it to steward our nation and its people. Sadly when I tune into the political discourse it's all about gun/abortion/tax/federal debt and whatever other kinds of "freedom". Why is helping people never and enhancing social mobility on the table. And I am so so tired of politicians parading education as the silver bullet.

Can't you run a 28" 4K panel at 2560x1440 using a HiDPI mode?

I run my 13" rMBP at 1440X900, which still looks pretty good. It actually looks pretty good at 1680x1050, except that everything is too small for comfortable work. Sure, it wouldn't be "full retina" resolution, but it would look a lot sharper than a regular 27" 1440p display. The only real constraint could be the video chip's ability to render at 2X that resolution and then downscale.
I'm curious about the "cumbersome" claim. Is it because Mori forces you to write in a functional style? I've tried as much as possible to supply an API that doesn't stray too far from conventions JavaScript programmers are used to from underscore, lo-dash, etc.
I recall working with Hypercard around this time. My high school had a computer lab set up with a bunch of Macs and we had a lengthy unit on creating Hypercard apps. It was all pretty new at the time and our instructor was constantly referring to books to answer questions we came up with. He actually told us at one point that he was probably only about 2 weeks ahead of us on the subject.

How does any pair ("co-designer" implies two designers, doesn't it?) of people design anything as complicated as an F-16? I've only worked on rockets and missiles, but the design of something as small and simple as the old Harpoon anti-ship missile is a pretty complex interplay between guidance-and-control, aerodynamics, propulsion and structures.

Hah.

Wait until you get a nice long steel nail that jumps away on you from the crowbar just as it exits the wood and embeds itself 2" deep in another piece of wood. if you're lucky.

Or when a sledge hits a really hard pebble just off the side of a solid wall and it gets catapulted out.

Sledges, crowbars and pickaxes are really dangerous tools and especially if you should wear goggles at a minimum, and probably a helmet too.

It's not the money so much as the signalling effect to potential investors. You presumably have the best knowledge about your own ability to profitably employ capital. If you take out a lot of money to pay yourself, that implies that you believe that the business's current cash is worth more to you as personal income than it is in business equity. What does that say to people who hold only equity and are supplying the cash?

If I had investors and free business cash flow, I'd pay myself only enough to break-even on personal expenses. The reason is that I'd also own equity in the business, and any money invested in the business could presumably earn a bigger return than if I took that money out of the business and invested it elsewhere. If that assumption doesn't hold, I have no business being an entrepreneur, because it is more economically rational for me to take a fat-paying job at Google or in finance, and then stick my excess savings into index funds.
You have absolutely no idea what an unbalance of even a few grams will do at those rotational speeds. The thing will escape your grip even if you're quite strong if you're not holding it very tightly.

The Game of Startups: Are You Playing to Win?: Multifaceted
Considering how lethal that thing is to it's own side that might be a good thing, $200 million dollars to get rid of Abbott sounds like a reasonable RoI (this is a joke, I don't want the man to die in a horrible fireball...merely to go away).
Is it not possible to do some sort of "phased" payment to recruiters? So instead of giving 10% of the employees salary if actually employed (or employed for at least 3 months or other variations), how about giving increased percentages depending on actual time employed. So maybe 1% of salary if employed, then 5% is the employee stays for more than 3 months, then 1% every 3 months thereafter until it reaches 10-15% or some other amount.

I would imagine that this would encourage recruiters to not do a shotgun approach (i.e. do any employee you can) as only the actually good employees will be profitable, and the others will probably end up costing the recruiter more than the first 5% he could get.

Of course I have no experience doing this and all figures are made up, but are there any obvious reasons of why this would not work? Maybe in the end the final percentage is higher than the typical market rate for recruiters (i.e. >10% maybe) but extended over a longer period so the recruiter would have to actually cherry-pick the candidates.
I thought of this as well, and I was bothered that the authors did not. (At least the author of the Forbes piece - I could not access the research paper.) The author of the Forbes piece immediately jumped into explaining the effect assuming causation, which I was not convinced has been established.

To be clear, I find it reasonable that there could be causation. But we still need evidence to support that conclusion.

Composable Analytics for Business Intelligence
Thought I'd announce a new startup called Composable Analytics - http://companalytics.co. It's a web-based environment allowing users (IT Pros, analysts, developers, and stakeholders) to explore, create, and collaborate on analytical methods and applications.

We offer cloud and enterprise solutions, and marketplace for analytics.

Analytics are created using a flow-based programming approach. Some of the functions you can do include:

aggregate data from spreadsheets, relational dbs, triple stores, web services.
Create graphs, heatmaps, and other visualizations
Disseminate information to dbs, facebook, twitter, email
Create web services
Run apps periodically in the background

Pretty elegant and powerful compared to existing BI solutions.

I'd appreciate any feedback.

Cheers,
Lars

Considering most HD refers to 1080i or 720p, even more so here in Australia, I don't mind this so much. Remember, anywhere really, that broadcast or cable TV is hardly ever 1080p.

With this step hopefully killing off interlacing, I support any even somewhat dishonest marketing exercise to be justified.

I agree that it is slightly weird that the aliens wait for you to discover them. However, when playing on impossible difficulty (and maybe also classic?), the aliens don't "hang out" most of the time.

Is it realistic for a fresh graduate (with a masters) in Informatics and Computing Engineering from Portugal to go straight to NYC and be able to live alone (as in not sharing rooms) and actually have some money saved by the end of the year?

I would absolutely love to experience NY, since I'm a passionate web developer.. There's so many companies in this field over there that I feel that my career would grow so much faster than if I stay here in Europe (at least in Portugal).

I would personally prefer NY over SF since it's way closer to "home".

Any thoughts on actually being able to financially live in NYC as a fresh grad?
