I disagree. Even if you come up with novel ways, or use common visualizations (e.g. charts) to display tabular data - I'd still give the end user a 'table button' that lets them simply view the data in a table.

Because of the ubiquity of the spreadsheet, most users simply grok tables and in a pinch, want to see the data that way. If they can't, the first feature request you're going to hear is for an Excel export so they can work around your application - not in it.

I'm not saying it's right, I understand you can deliver more information per second in a way that aids cognition - but until users are accustomed to this - we need tables.

That being said, if you work in React.js - why not have a nice table library for React.js?

edit: grammar
Most of those have had established careers for a long time. McCarthy is relatively new, but he was soundly rejected by all the big pubs, published by a tiny house, and then the big pubs reconsidered when he started shifting copies.

Which is almost exactly what happened to JK Rowling, only her books are slightly more accessible.

The big pubs do not take risks. If a writer can show evidence of critical interest and existing strong sales, they suddenly become interested.

Signing on the basis of a strong, original manuscript? Not any more.

I'm sure there's an exception every year or five, but it's a good bet that unless you're incredibly lucky and/or know commissioning editors personally already because you all went to university together, the odds of getting in through the front door are not good now.
Because it is a better proxy for how it will affect society in terms of ability to absorb more people, ranging from tax payer base to things like cost of infrastructure projects to handle the population growth.

The epoxy is also pretty nasty too. If you don't wear the right personal protective equipment when using it, you can quickly become sensitized to it. I don't know what that means medically, but it can't be good. I have always worn the right gear when building things, but it is clearly harmful to you without proper ventilation and separation from your skin.

I love composites, but they definitely have downsides.
> Ebola is not like the flu. You're not going to catch the disease from simply being across the room from someone who has it.

> Basically every health agency in the world agrees on this point. In order to catch Ebola, you have to come in contact with bodily fluids — such as sweat, saliva, vomit, or diarrhea — of someone who already has Ebola and is exhibiting symptoms. (A person who is infected but not yet showing symptoms generally isn't infectious.)

> And yet, remarkably, many readers have been unconvinced by this point.

http://www.vox.com/2014/8/10/5980553/ebola-outbreak-virus-ae...

This was the first of many available sources in a quick Google search.

I don't understand why there seems to be so much interest in hyping the threat of ebola to the U.S. Maybe it has to do with the many doomsday virus stories in our culture?

An analogy: a friend of mine worked at a "Wild West" type museum. He got a call from someone who wanted to know if there were any black cowboys. My friend told the caller that yes, there had been many black cowboys. The caller said "that can't be true. How come I never saw any in western movies??"
There was a company last week that showed off their bitcoin algos and I wrote a comment that basically said don't use them and I felt bad about it for the rest of the week. I'll try to just be positive here:)

To weigh in on the mention of using doubles for finance....

Using double for finance, perfectly fine.
All trading systems I've seen use double, from HFT systems to deep learning AI systems that open and close potions over months. Double is fine for most algo trading, heck the exchanges and dark pools I've talked with use double.

What you can possibly do with this.

1) Learn how to write the logic of an trading algorithm.

2) learn the basics of technical trading, with MACD, Keltner channels, vortex and Bollinger band indicators. They've definitely put the time in to getting the indicators that FX traders like to use.

What you can't do with this system.

1) React to currency fluctuations on a tick by tick basis. FX is just so fast and precise, there is a reason that professional FX traders mix FX spot quotes from multiple sources, we use 4 at the fund I work at and some use up to 10 sources. There is also a reason why FX is quoted to 4 decimal places while equities are to 2, sometimes 3 for penny stocks.

2) Use this in a real world setting. I can't see any privacy policy or contract indicating what happens when shit goes wrong. We are talking about money here, you can't just half ass this kind of thing.

Plus they use FXCM which had this new out about them:

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230425560...

> LONDON—Foreign-exchange trading firm FXCM Inc. FXCM +0.08% agreed to pay fines and refunds totaling almost £10 million ($16.7 million) to settle allegations by a U.K. financial regulator that the company withheld profits from clients and failed to inform British authorities that it was under investigation in the U.S.

> The Financial Conduct Authority said that U.K. units of FXCM withheld £6 million from customers on foreign-exchange transactions between August 2006 and December 2010. The regulator said the broker pocketed profits when exchange rates moved in its customers' favor while a trade was in process, but it passed on losses that occurred on other trades.

2^16 counts as "weird and arbitrary"?
I can't speak for him in particular, but on Réunion island you should get decent ADSL (up to 20 Mbps depending on phone line length, but rarely more than 10 Mbps in practice) in the largest cities, for 50 euros per month (unlimited free phone calls included).

It's more expensive and slower than on mainland France, but it's still reasonable for a rather isolated island (I have used ADSL Internet over there myself, but I didn't have to take care of the administrative details, so there might be some variation in the actual prices).
In the coming years, I hope there will be a major realignment of what we know as "work hours" and everything that goes with it in the US. The federal government is surprisingly progressive in regards to telecommuting (teleworking as it's called, still sounds weird after many years) but failure of management to keep up with what their employees are doing will ruin it for everyone.

I telecommute a couple of days a week. Monthly, that means I save about 20-30 hours of travel and preparation, and about $50-100 in gas. On those days, I sleep in more than I normally would and am thus very alert for doing thinking-work. Despite doing work that can be done 100% remotely, I still cherish time spent in office and the kind of lateral communication you can get from it. However, telecommuters will always have to work harder to look like they're doing any work at all. Meanwhile, just showing up at the office can be enough for most idlers; I suspect this is the real reason that reviews in the article are hitting a brick wall: it's not just the telecommuters that don't work.

From where I sit, problem is with management and way management is done in the federal system. There is a huge layer of middle management in any federal organization, and they are very ill-equipped to manage anyone, let alone telecommuters - who are more vulnerable to and susceptible to slackery. Even a good manager will find the federal system a giant mess: if you inherit a trouble employee and honestly try to bring them back into a productive mode, you might face a lawsuit and delays associated with them - because that's almost a norm in the federal system now.

So what you do is put the employee in a PIP (performance improvement plan) and in there, you spell out the improvement steps the employee needs to take. Wait, no, you don't put the person in a PIP because HR kicks it back as previous managers didn't document anything. Now, you have to wait, beg the employee to do their work that they refuse to do (as their position description was never revised despite the kind of work they're expected to do changing with the times). Over time, you alter the PD and start documenting. After awhile, you put the employee in PIP and note that your corrective steps were completely ignored by the employee on the file. And ... that's when the union gets involved: why did you PIP a model employee? None of their previous managers documented any issues, and they received glowing reviews for years.

At this point, you are completely ineffective as a manager, with no human-facing tools to do your management job properly. Management needs to step it up, and for that to happen effectively, there needs to be a development of fair disciplinary methods and realistic processes to deal with workers in the federal system.

I was totally sold on this and already preparing to try this out on a simple game using OpenGL I'm working on as a pet project, until I saw the code examples. The amount of highly-specific OpenGL code that's apparently needed to embed an ImgUI popover is completely prohibitive to my use case, the GLEW and GLFW examples literally have 3 times the number of OpenGL calls my own rendering function has, I see custom shaders used just for the UI, setting up clipping rectangles, loading font textures, etc. And that's just to manage renderer state, not even to setup the popover itself.

I can understand that it's an advantage to have something like this renderer-agnostic, and embeddable anywhere in your render flow, but the way you have to use this completely defeats its purpose IMO. I would love a higher-level abstraction layer on top of this that deals with all the render state setup, so I only have to setup the UI itself and populate it, and can throw in a one-liner somewhere in my render function that draws it. In this case, I would happily trade the fact that this would break render-independence and would clobber render state, for ease of integration.

That said, the end result looks immensely useful and very-well done, it's just too involved to setup and use I think...

Hm, first time I've heard about this tool and I have searched around for backup solutions similar to it a number of times.
It strikes me as a project that needs better word of mouth advertising, though it might just not have as big of a userbase due to the fact that it is relatively young.
Have you observed any major drawbacks in your use?

After going through the documentation, the only major turnoff that I see is that it fails to provide explicit documentation on the internals (ie when a backup occurs A->B->C happens to your data using formats very well documented in X, Y, & Z)

The flaw is, what's the point? If its true, it has no effect. If its not, your arguing a falsehood.

You have just asserted your view that Solar/ Wind are only useful sources for peaking but the linked article contains an argument that they could plausibly be used for base load (with a linked sources). It seems reasonable to consider it your turn to argue against that rather than just reassert.

In light of your comment on the goals of the grid do you not think we have a moral responsibility to disregard what people appear to want to a certain extent and start doing what is sustainable? Even if it does have some cost some short term stability and price. Profit surly shouldn't be the only consideration.

It may not be the people right now that pay the cost of fucking up the planet but some people will. Do you not think everyone has a responsibility to consider the externalities?
I have used ProtoMold and they are very good. They are aluminum molds and there are fewer options with regards to custom details, but if you are making basic parts it works fine. I would think it would work very well for injection molding parts for a 3D printer because surface finish is probably not critical and the quantity will be relatively low. I generally think of the scaling up process as 3D printing -> ProtoMold -> steel molds.

That said, when he said $50k in molds, I pictures $50k in ProtoMold molds, not $50k in steel molds. I imagine steel molds would be more on the order of $250k.

Have you read the counter-arguments to fluoridation? And speaking of laziness, I would never sit myself in front of HBO.

Anyhow, the problem is informational I think right now. What's needed is accurate information on what's being added, where, and how much. Also, who's supplying it. I can read and believe as much as I want, from whatever source I want, but what's harder to dispute are real measurements. This sort of information should've been provided already, and the fact that in this day and age that this sort of information can't or won't be provided makes me wonder why not. In fact, in some respects I'd like to see these type of scientific measurements and ingredient lists provided BEFORE even ending fluoridation (which could serve to hide what has been added) and then people can be held accountable for what they have done in the name of science and health (or rather money and whatever other nefarious motive.)

If fluoridation is so great, then let me see measurements on what exactly is being added to the water, and then I can work out the right dose to help me with any teeth problems I MIGHT have otherwise... how is that being lazy?

To be fair, that's a US state problem and not a US problem.

I have had driver licenses from multiple US states. My experiences on the matter vary in extreme measures from one state to the next. This is mostly based on local laws, resources, and demand.

One time, it took hours but I had license in hand before leaving the building. In another case it took around twenty minutes and I had license in hand before leaving the building. Things are different in different places.

Then again, I've never had a license from California so that's a pain I haven't endured.

> There is also a reason why FX is quoted to 4 decimal places while equities are to 2, sometimes 3 for penny stocks.

Isn't the reason that most FX rates are O(1) (eg EURUSD is about 1.34, cable is about 1.7) whereas most stocks are O(10) or even O(100) and O(1000)?

If you take an FX rate that isn't O(1) eg USDJPY which is about 100, the convention is that it's quoted to 2 decimal places, like a stock (though there are some exceptions, eg USDMXN is around 13 but it's quoted to 4dp, and USDRUB is around 35 and also quoted to 4dp).
