NeDB creator here. I'd like to know more about the issue you're describing, I've never heard about it and considering the test coverage I just don't see how it could happen.

Could you post an issue on https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb with your environment details and how to reproduce this?

A lot of visual apps allow users to draw arrows, but why are people drawing arrows? Is the direction of the arrow significant? It's usually a dependency, e.g. MS Project saying that this task must be completed before another task = time dependency. A hierarchical outline is another way of expressing dependency (composition).

What eventually happens after drawing lots of arrows and creating outlines is that users want to make changes to their diagrams. But the diagram editor then ignores all those beautiful arrows and the poor user ends up moving singular nodes around and repeating the layout manually.

inShort hard-codes a set of rules for a specific use case. A lightweight drawing tool could still benefit from allowing some operations to be aware of inter-entry dependencies/arrows/relationships, e.g. grouping, change propagation, composition.

I'll try the app at some point, currently using iThoughts (for fast layout speed on complex maps) on iPad, EccoPro & ConnectedText on PC (supports dependencies and facets). An interesting open-source app is http://treesheets.com, which is a cross between outliner & spreadsheet.
Or NeDB which solve the same constraints :)

I guess it depends on what eradicated means.

We probably can't genetically or medically engineer humans never to generate cancers. That's what this guy seems to be saying: cancer is a consequence of normal operation, not a flaw or a disease.

We probably can get good enough at cleaning up the cancers, that our continual generation of them is no longer an issue.

Ofcourse the images look very nice but I'm not very impressed. A lot of artists create photo realistic images. For example the Ikea catalogue[1] has a lot of CG images.

These are just pre-rendered textures and light maps combined with real time lighting and reflections in Unreal Engine 4.

But I agree that UE4 does a very very good job at realistic real time lighting! Also take a look at the blog of Paul Mader: http://paulmader.blogspot.nl/

"We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age".

Suggested wording for job ads in UK from an employer's organisation. See

http://www.ipa.co.uk/page/job-posting-guidelines

Lower in that page it does mention 'positive action' programmes. Here is some sample wording for a 'positive action' programme vacancy

"we welcome applications from everyone irrespective of gender and ethnic group but, as women and members of ethnic minority groups are currently under-represented at this level of post, we would encourage applications from members of these groups. Appointment will be based on merit alone"

From...

The general idea seems to be to separate the encouragement to apply from the selection process.

The difference in high school IMHO is that I give it a big chance that everybody was a native English speaker there.

I agree with you that understanding the (full) problem is part of the challenge in some cases, but since the headline here is 'How fast can you debug?' it has to test debugging skill.

I'm lucky to read and write English about every single day but have colleagues who are probably faster than me at debugging code that will take a lot longer because they'll first have to carefully read and translate the specification before they could continue.

They are not all local attacks. The TV MITM attack can be launched remotely. If he can find a flaw in the content rendering code, then that's a remote attack.

Also, his NAT router itself is a security time bomb, via its remote update mechanism. I would never run an ISP router in router mode; that's such an obviously bad idea from a security standpoint.

The worst case scenario is when there are only vague requirements or too many half-baked ideas. And somehow you're supposed to say when those poorly-defined features can be done. As if the completion date is not closely tied to the full definition of the finished feature. This is why I almost prefer the waterfall approach when hard estimates are required.

There should be no reason to use python2 over python3. Your argument:

> I've been avoiding Python 3 in production out of concern for poor library support

Is the exact problem the python community has at the moment. If everyone takes this stance then the projects will never be move forward.

Why not make the point of using python3 and porting or fixing code where it is broken. Tools like py2to3 make moving from python2 to python3 so much easier.

Your question:

> but what scenarios is Python 3 inappropriate for?

Python3 is inappropriate for the situations where python as a language is an inappropriate solution.

Completely agree. The real problem with China's censorship right now is not really the government. Yes, it's a government that's highly skilled and efficient at censoring stuff, but this would only take them so far if it wasn't the Chinese culture that allowed them to do it.

In other words, the vast majority of Chinese are still fine with this type of censorship, because they truly believe the government is protecting them and creating a better life for them. Surely an American can understand this, too (post-9/11 National Security brainwashing).

Until most Chinese start believing their government is evil, and that there is a much better, more free way to live, not much will change.

There's a reason knowledgeable people don't talk about 'curing' cancer. Cancer is what happens when cells fail (specifically, when they don't self-terminate when they should), so it can't be vaccinated against in the same way as a disease (much as you can't catch it in conventional terms). It can be treated, the success rate of which is increasing all the time, but people will always be diagnosed with cancer if they are unlucky. For that reason, even if treatment becomes 99.99% successful with little to no side effects, it will never be eliminated in the same way diseases such as smallpox or plague were.
>>(the book doesn't cover the Soviet side of the story, but it's my understanding they were just as risk prone if not more so).

Right at the end of the book there is a few pages about Soviet systems, saying that there were always inherently safer, because no one trusted anyone,so they had launch codes and interlocking safety mechanisms pretty much from the very beginning of nuclear age.

Would also very highly recommend that book.

An 4-yr old but still relevant cogent, more balanced than biased analysis. There are parts of the argument that are more dated, some arguments are surprisingly still relevant:

> What Is the Chinese Economic Model?

1. Steal Intellectual Property. IP represents the crown jewels of the global economy; they are the peak achievement of Western civilization, and of all of China's competitors. China steals IP daily, in every possible way: through force, through simple copying, through reverse engineering, through industrial and government espionage, through common theft. China also has a national policy which prevents non-Chinese firms from selling in China unless companies transfer their most valuable IP to China as the price of market access. The clueless ones obey; just ask Boeing.

4. Industrial Policy: Subsidize Key Industries. Japan also started this idea, but China takes it much further. Originally, the government (or the Peopleâ€™s Liberation Army) owned virtually all large enterprises, but even today, it retains strong interests in most key export companies, which makes government assistance less transparent. Many outsiders assume they are dealing with â€œrealâ€ companies, when they are actually dealing indirectly with the Chinese government. Examples of subsidization and export dumping would include tires and, more recently, steel exports (sound like Japanese history?), now being tariffed by the E.U. and the U.S.

7. Price for Export, Suppress Domestic Consumption, and use domestic savings to drive the above policies. While everyone is talking about how wealthy the new Chinese coastal middle class has become, they forget that there are another 800MM+ Chinese still waiting inland on the farm for anything good to happen to them. Despite the latest boom, the Chinese people are still among the top global savers. China seems to be allowing faster wage growth, and is encouraging domestic consumption, more than Japan has.

Apparently the human retina can detect some UV wavelengths, but the UV light is normally blocked by the lens and does not reach the retina.

Some patients who have had replacement artificial lenses develop the ability to see some portion of the UV spectrum. My mum now has this - she had lens replacement last year and following that she mentioned that a lot of things appeared more purple in some circumstances - my brother did some research and found out about the UV detection.

To see an extra color, i.e. to become tetrachromats, we would need a lot more than a dietary change, so this is an entirely new subject barely related to the original post.

To distinguish an extra color we would need a new type of cone cells with a different spectral response to the three types we already have (called L-, M- and S-cones). We could modify a subset of the existing cells or add new cells. If you modify the existing cells, you then need to teach the visual cortex that the signals coming from the modified cones indicate a new color. How would this be done? If you add new cone cells, you then need to add new neural pathway along the optic nerve and plug it into the visual cortex somehow. How would this be done?

On the other hand, the original experiment proposed to alter the availability of different types of vitamin A by dietary changes with the intention of modifying the spectral response of the existing photosensitive cells so that light of previously invisible wavelength would become visible. This does not increase the number of colors, but changes the range of wavelength corresponding to each color for the affected individual.

Indeed, I suspect in the beginning, you would want to convert the tree back and forth between text and structure, so that you can edit parts of it in text. Editing text is a bit like working with a scratch pad, you're jotting down ideas. But once you're down with a block or function, you want it to be correct.

The structure would then be for the editor to give you instant feedback on the syntax and semantics, for navigation, and for refactoring.

In a way, the most advanced text editors and IDEs already do something much like this, but it feels like they are still closer to a text editor than a pure structure editor.

The point is also that the editor is working on the exact same structure as the compiler, so the compiler can give you instant feedback on things you actually have to compile the code to find out. You could have dummy inputs to your function for instance, and instantly see what all the variables evaluate to, how long it takes for the function to execute, and how much space it takes.
Sure, but you need to release before you run out of money. You also need to cost/benefit a feature which is hard to do without any sort of estimate.

Whether or not you believe that the current Chinese leadership cares at all about marxism, one of Marx' key predictions regarding socialism was that a socialist revolution can only be successful in a society that has a sufficiently well developed capitalism to allow redistribution to satisfy the basic wants of the entire population. Otherwise, claimed Marx, the class struggle would just reassert itself.

This was a big problem for revolutionaries of the 19th and 20th centuries that were eager to overthrow various regimes in relatively undeveloped countries, yet who looked to socialist ideas for inspiration: They wanted to agitate for socialism. Marx explicitly had said they'd fail.

Lenin attempted to solve that after the Russian civil war by instituting NEP - New Economic Policy: semi-free markets, private ownership on the small scale, coupled with tight regulation. The intent was to shepherd the country through capitalist development as quickly as possible, and bring about the advanced capitalist stage that Marx had claimed would be necessary for a successful socialist revolution, without giving up the political control, and while trying to counter the worst excesses.

Lenin hinted he believed the SSSR would need NEP for decades before it would be ready for an actually socialist system, but Stalin undid most of the reforms shortly after he took charge. The stratification that the Bolsheviks oversaw, coupled with the ultimate failure of the Soviet system was a fairly solid demonstration of what Marx had warned about.

While Mao seemed to believe China could take another path, and leapfrog all of the capitalist development entirely, China has gradually taken a similar approach to that of Lenin ever since Deng Xiaoping gained the upper hand: Loosen the economic reigns slowly, but try to retain the political control, with the ultimate goal at least on paper still ultimately being to develop society enough to make socialism possible. As long as they manage to keep the material growth, this creates a way of pacifying the population fairly effectively whether or not they actually have any intent of ever softening up their political control:

There's an "end game" that is appealing, and as long as it seems like things are going in the right way, and people generally feel their lives keep getting better, there's little reason for most people to want to rock the boat.

The danger with that, of course, is that the moment they fail to keep up the forward momentum in material wealth, people will increasingly start to question their policies, and want a greater say, and start caring about all kinds of other problems, and then their options becomes to yield, and lose control, or apply more and more violence to keep on top.

From its city-state inception, taxation is you giving money to the state, so the state ensures that armed men don't come and take your money by force.

10,000 years ago you were completely welcome to live outside of the city-state if you wished where everything is taken and kept by force; you'd just have a shorter/harder life at it.

Unless I missed it in there, there is another reason for estimating work - deciding whether it's likely to be worth the effort to build it.

It's rare that a development organisation has run out of things to build. There's almost always going to be several ideas competing to be the next thing to start, and there's got to be some way of deciding which you should go for. One obvious way is weighing up the likely cost v benefit of each idea, both of which require you to make some form of estimate.

Of course those estimates will almost certainly be wrong, but at least starting with a view of whether you think it's going to take a week or 9 months to add a mobile optimised version of your website, or whatever feature you're considering next, is going to be more helpful in making that call than starting with absolutely no idea at all of the effort it's likely to take.
