This is pretty cool! I wonder if there's a way I could implement that somehow into our turtle graphics app. Turtle gravity?

As for this app it would be awesome if you could zoom out -- I find most of my stable(-ish) orbits are very long and at very large mass sizes, so it would be good to see their entire orbits.

Ran into a couple of things. Firstly, the documentation is wrong and when it states using "node app.js -u blah -p blah" it needs to specify "node app.js config -u ...".

Also, I found that if you enter an incorrect password, the application itself will break out of the switch statement (track in this case), but it won't output an error to stdout and also node remains running (with the application dead) and will make it appear like nothing bad has happened.

Smartwatches will fail. It seems a cool idea, but like Dick Tracy's wrist-phone, wrist-calculators, and wrist-watch computers (they've been around for many years), they won't take off. Most of us stopped wearing watches the moment we got cell phones. Smartwatches are awkward, and an even smaller display than a smartphone - which are currently increasing in size.

Better is a bare headsup device - a "display" as big as you like, without being bigger. Google Glass sans camera (so no privacy concerns til we're ready for it).

I just wanted to thank you for still answering on this thread. Your sharing of your experiences is very much welcome, I've only been on Ritalin for over a month and already feel exactly as you describe it. Still, I'm asking myself if you couldn't also harm your wiring by having this on/off thing going on (I'm currently on 30mg Ritalin LA which presumably is a rather high dosage). I've always been more interested into computers so this brain thing is kind of new to me - a blacker kind of box than it already is so to say :)

>I find it weird that they're critizing the CPU for being old, as if age itself is a bad thing.

When you are cramming an old CPU into a tiny, cutting edge device like this, I think the criticisms might be warranted. Especially so considering the poor battery performance of the watch. It might not be entirely due to the CPU but it seems probable that the CPU is a nonnegligible contributor to the power consumption issues.

Eh, those Kindle battery life estimates are based on low daily usage IMO. When I'm reading a lot I can easily run down my Kindle in a week. As a watch you would probably be updating the display far more often than an occasionally used Kindle.

Vladimir Voevodsky is making an interesting step when he says that rewrite steps in math are clearly homeomorphisms. I would like to see some more formal examples of that. It sounds like a promising path.

Concerning the replacement of ZFC by Russell types -- contrary to lambda calculus' functions -- I have not run often enough in illustrations that demonstrate the usefulness of Russell types.

I am personally much more vouching for a replacement of Zermelo and Fränkel's sets by Alonzo Church's functions than Bertrand Russell's types at this point. It is probably just an issue of lack of familiarity, though.
I am however suggesting that the Arabs and Turks haven't actually reinvented the art of engineering which was known in the antique times as they obviously invaded the exact places where that art was already present and that there must be some of them that found that art interesting who are the ones who preserved it in the times of religious fanaticism and destruction.

Quickly reviewing some of the posts on the ag blog/page[1], I'm guessing the speedup is mainly from a custom dir scanning algorithm and possibly from running two threads.

Software Developer Careers Considered Harmful
Agreed, I was looking forward to this smartwatch and don't really care about the raw "speed" of the CPU (as long as it can run the watch face displays well and have basic music controls I'm good, not going to ask it to do much...), but by all reports (common theme in all the reviews I've seen) the battery life is pretty horrific.

There's no way I'm ever buying a smartwatch that doesn't easily get 1 full day worth of life without a recharge. I wouldn't put up with that on a smartphone, and a smartphone is MUCH easier to randomly recharge during the day than something strapped to your wrist is.

OTOH, there's no way I'm buying a clunky dorky smartwatch either and the Moto 360 is by far the best looking of the bunch, so I guess I'm waiting until next year's batch until Moto fixes the battery problem or some other company fixes their industrial design problems.

Not true. They will once they understand the significance of the Westminster parliament losing 52 Scottish Labour MPs which would leave the rest of the UK with a strong Tory majority.

If the vote is YES the Prime Minister in office when independence takes effect (most likely to be Labour) would certainly have to resign.

"Smartphones will fail."

I guess you mean "smartwatch". Phones have been pretty successful so far ;)

Anyway, I think I do not agree with you, since I got the early ugly firstrun Android wear device from I/O, the LG Watch.

My experience is that the watch is by no means the next step in the evolution of personal computers or anything. But it is a very useful accessory for the computer you already have in your pocket.

Once you have it on your wrist you notice that

- phone ringtones are awkward and annoying to anyone around you.

- opening and unlocking your phone 125 times per day (This numbers is from Google) just to check for information and if there is something you need to act on right now is incredible annoying.

- voice commands, as limited as this is right now, is only useful if you can trigger it immediately when you need it. The few voice commands I find useful (set alarm, remind me to...) are much much more convenient if I can just say them.

So my point is that the watch is much more useful than a case, and only slightly less useful than headphones. If they start being equipped with more sensors and the cost falls below $80, they will become even more interesting.
text generation using template costs a lot more much money than i thought.
The comparison was about acceptable diameter, thickness and weight for watches. The price is not relevant to point out that the 360 is within "normal" size parameters, and significantly below the upper bound for weight.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback.

On point 1, there is currently a category for "programming" which includes all languages (https://www.employiq.com/jobs/all/programming) and on point 2 there is a "Python" category and for front-end JS there is a "UI/UX" category. So I think the bigger issue is how to better display the list of categories. This will be a trade off of specificity vs. simplicity. Ultimately the solution is to allow you to type a search term and then automatically translate that into the appropriate category. Several commentors have complained about not being able to free enter a search term - the reason this isn't there is I simply haven't built the search-term-to-category engine yet.
Have you considered reading the article?

> In the CPU benchmark, the OMAP 3 shows very poor floating point performance, a bottleneck which could explain the stuttering and freezing we experience.

> The battery life of the Moto 360 is just awful, and that's reflected in our test. Over two runs, the watch averaged only 3 hours and 39 minutes, less than half of what the LG G Watch managed when we reviewed it a few months ago […] Given the SoC, the battery performance isn't surprising. The 360 is saddled with an old, inefficient processor with big, power-hungry transistors.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I'm not saying a Seiko mechanism is going to power any kind of smartdevice functions (although you might combo a tiny backup quartz mechanism so that when your smartwatch dies it can still tell time). What I am saying is that the problem with all these smartwatches getting shit battery life is just in their design. The Pebble, to it's credit, gets a more than adequate 4+ days of battery life because they were smart and used a microcontroller.

This doesn't really say much about sectors, though. Sure, lots of people are creating apps that are HTML5 wrappers, but what do these apps actually do? Are they just wrappers around websites? Do they preform any serious functions?

Obviously, 95% of graphics- or CPU-intensive apps (eg. games, graphics utilities) are going to be native, but this isn't implied in the slide deck -- indeed it almost suggests (somewhat disingenuously) that the "trend" toward non-native includes games, which is silly.

Not entirely.

I did agree the point a lot of Chinese companies start with copying their western counterparts. But it is also not true to say that those formulas could succeed if stay unmodified. In fact, those successful Chinese copy-cats take very different approaches after forking the original one.

Take WeChat for example, it is blatant copy of WhatsApp from the very beginning. Now, it has so much more functionalities to offer than WhatsApp: it has a private social network called Friend Circle; it has a gaming center; you can even make mobile payment through it. And arguably, WeChat has better UI that is more friendly to Chinese users, like better emoji support. The difference is so significant, it is fair enough to say they are on their own track, and I sincerely doubt if there is something more WeChat can copy from WhatsApp, if not vice versa.

As to your question about Xiaomi, it is infamous even in mainland China for violation of copyrights and open source licenses. But again, it is not the most important thing that makes Xiaomi successful. The reason is simple: there are 100 or more companies out there, trying to make money by copying the western ideas. If copying the only thing Xiaomi did, it definitely cannot achieve what it has now. Actually, one key factor that leads Xiaomi to its current success is marketing: setting up online forums for cultivating its own fanbase; introducing flash sales with limited supplies in an effort to tantalize the consumers. I could go on with a lot more, but the point is, Xiaomi takes a grass-root approach to maximize its brand awareness, greatly leveraging the power of internet and social network, without paying huge amount of money to the traditional advertisers like what the western companies always do. In turn, it allows Xiaomi to offer phones with competitive specs at lower price. This idea has been back ported to US recently by OnePlus, and have been successful to some degree.

To be honest, Chinese companies have a hell lot to improve. However, IMO, they deserve some praises of their own for accounting their success. Attributing everything for being copycats might seem easy and politically right, but it is oversimplified and preventing people from looking at the bigger picture.
Thank you for your article.

Keep in mind, the FP article really doesn't do much to discount the piece I linked to and, as a matter of fact, reinforces just how close Reagan brought us to the brink of nuclear destruction.

From the FP article you linked to:

"His dread only grew by year's end when he learned that his nuclear buildup and anti-Soviet speeches had so terrified Kremlin leaders that they interpreted a nato war game as preparation for a real attack and put their military on high alert."

If it wasn't for reforms in the USSR (see Gorbachev), things might have very well ended in a nuclear holocaust due to Reagan's initial war mongering.

> to balance some of that out a bit

I'm not sure you read the article I linked to fully. It mentions Reagan's efforts to bring us back from the brink after he first disparaged and dismissed the nuclear freeze movement. The article actually mentions the fact that Reagan even went further than activists had asked for:

From the article I linked to:

" ... by the time of Reagan’s second term, the nuclear weapons policies of his administration actually went far beyond what the organizers of the freeze campaign had advocated. The Reagan Administration did not just halt the nuclear arms race, it actually began to reverse it."

But, for FP to try to polish Reagan up as a man of peace terrified of war is a bit delusional once we consider what it took to finally get him to cool his heels and desperately kick in massive damage control in the nick of time before nuclear armageddon. It's also interesting that FP didn't mention activists and their effect on the issue.

And, again, if it wasn't for the dumb luck of Gorbachev taking power, I have sincere doubts that Reagan could have rectified his previous war mongering in time.

As I said, we came much closer than most realize and Reagan nearly sent us all off the nuclear rails.
> I find it hard to believe an OMAP3 at 1GHz would be insufficient to power a smartwatch.

That's not the claim being made, especially given it's compared to similarly-clocked SoC.

The article makes two claims: 1. the watch stutters which may be caused by the low floating-point performances (benched very low), and 2. the SoC is power-hungry leading to miserable battery life.

The difference? The other SoC are based on Cortex A7, which was created in part to provide equivalent performances but much better efficiency than the A8: http://images.anandtech.com/doci/4991/Screen%20Shot%202011-1...
