My experience with node-webkit leads me to believe it could, once ironed out, actually become a popular way for web developers to get their start with client-side apps.

As far as Node.js as a server-side scripting language? Idk. I'm a PHP guy.
You might want to define "flop" and specify a timeframe if you're offering a bet like this

Some suggestions:

* will sell less than x units in the y months after it becomes available

* is discontinued within y months

* will not make it to version n

* will bring in less than $x revenue/profit in [timeframe]

* will lose its link at the top of the apple website within y months

It's also hard to tell what Apple's internal expectations are. They may expect to only sell 100, or they may be expecting to sell 100 million. My guess is it's a "feeler" product to guage demand while they work on v2

Hi all, I'm the author.
Thanks for all the feedback - really good to hear you like the clock. I've added some more animation easings as per your suggestions.
To clarify: when continual animation is off, each digit only animates for a specified amount of time. I set this at 20 seconds for all but the 'seconds' digits, which animate continually. I thought this looked cooler and they're inessential to reading the time.
I'll try and port it to Apple watch / Android wear when they release their proper watch face SDKs.
My Nexus 5 is OK for $350, but after two years of trying the competition I'm going back to iOS next month. I like Apple's approach of getting the UX right and worrying about the other stuff (extensibility, standards compliance, filesystem, etc) after. Whatever incredibly nonstandard thing Safari does with text reflow is better than what Chrome (in 4.4) does, even if its more compliant. Having documents being able to open up in different apps is a huge pain in the ass. I download a PDF and for some reason it always asks whether I want to open it in Adobe or HP ePrint. But other times I'm stuck always opening documents in some app I don't want. Should I open this in YouTube or Chrome? Maps or Chrome? Just do the right thing and don't ask me! I still don't understand how the filesystem works. Older apps seem to have a different download folder or something than newer apps?

I'm not dumb. I used to write highly multithreaded network code for a living. I took Diff Eq in college! But Android makes me feel dumb, so I'm selling the N5.

I'm not sure your follow up clarifies your point, but it's entirely possible I'm misunderstanding it.

Are you saying that the only way Apple can sell their products for such a profit (over the raw cost of materials) is because of the Reality Distortion Field? We know that they've been working on this for years with all of the associated costs of designing and developing a product in that time.

> Sure, some women prefer one thing over another but you don't need all the women to like you. You just need one

i understand where you're coming from but let's be real. in order to retain the relationship(s) you are in, you need to understand what makes a man attractive to a woman. it has nothing to do with race but more to do with assertiveness, boundaries, ability to plan, get shit done, etc.

and if you have none of that, you better start working on it. "be yourself" is the worst dating advice ever. and "one out of a million will end up maybe liking you" is even worse.

So you want a list of out of date and idiotic problems interspersed with a few actual issues?
So two things. By "intended" I specifically mean the semantics of the travelway. Roads are specifically engineered for cars, full stop. Everything from angle to speed surveys are done specifically for the automobile. Is that a great injustice to other forms of transportation? Perhaps, but that's the way it is. It's changing, and roads are more commonly being designed and engineered to support other transport options, but there's still a long way to go with that.

Second, there's a very big difference between things being legally allowed and them being wise to do. It is perfectly legal for me to walk in the road along a road with no available sidewalk. Is it wise? Probably not.

So the problem I have is that bikes are allowed on roads, but I don't think they should be. The cry then is "well where will they go?" and I strongly propose that purpose built bike lines be built to accommodate cyclists. I recognize that it won't happen overnight, but it is happening.

> It's infuriating at times when it's a single lane road and cyclists are poking along at 20mph instead of 50mph but the law enshrines this right.

The law in most states also specifically forbids impeding traffic (hence the 5 car law you pointed out in some jurisdictions). In others "impeding" is left open to interpretation by an officer of the law. But 20 in a 50 is impeding and I'd argue that it's not only not safe for everybody on the road, but faster vehicles (mopeds and scooters) are not even allowed on such roads (at least in my jurisdiction), which I think it a clear oversight in the law.

But bikes get an unbelievable amount of leeway. In situations where other vehicles are prohibited, or pedestrians aren't allowed, bikes get a free pass. I've never even heard of a cyclist in my area getting a ticket for anything. But I can sit out on my front porch and watch cyclists run the stop sign in front of my house all day.

I think that's wrong and I think the right way to deal with it is not to ban bikes, but to give them a better place to go and start enforcing cyclist's responsibilities.
Alfred Wins TechCrunch Battlefield SF 2014
I was negative on the Apple Watch until my wife mentioned something interesting: she wants one so she can doesn't have to constantly check her phone for important work emails during family time. Its a huge boon for the Blackberry crowd--people like my wife and I who would otherwise put their phone on the table during dinner to keep an eye on it.

She's also pretty fashion conscious and while she isn't happy with the design, I think it passes the bar. She really would prefer something with Apple guts and external design by her favorite fashion brands, however.
I've made two friends at meet ups good enough that I've kept in touch outside of them - one of whom I've been doing some coding with. I've also run into people in person who I'd previously known from IRC or reddit (and one former classmate I had lost touch with) .

The quality of the experience certainly varies substantially, meet-up group to meet-up group. Fortunately, there's no commitment - if you go to one and it sucks, don't go to that one again.
U2’s new album is showing up on your iPhone whether you want it or not
Funny that, I have been saying for years when people were comparing the iPhone to various Android devices based a tech laundry list that Apple essentially operates as a fashion business and a technical comparison is meaningless. That's not how or why people buy these things. I seriously want to see the guy who walks into a store asks for a phone with at least two ARMv7-A cores at 1.5GHz with a screen of at least 280ppi.

So, nothing new there except now they compete with existing fashion items.

All told, even though the article was gushing (almost to the point of shill) it still admits it's bulky, it's for nerds and it's a market category noone asked for. We will see how it goes.

Because by and large the road system is already there (and being used for cyclists). Extended the shoulder out a bit and putting a stick figure on a bike every quarter mile to show it's a place where bikes are supposed to go is at a minimum what I'm calling for.
It shouldn't matter one bit. They're legally obligated to take you anywhere in the five boroughs.

Just get in before telling them your destination. If they give you flak (and you feel like fighting them), just take note of their medallion # and state clearly that you will report them if they fail to fulfill their obligation.
Doesn't almost every single existing android/smart wearable provide the ability to not "constantly check her phone for important work emails during family time"?

> The fact that the Apple Watch doesn't "fit beneath the shirtsleeve" as OP points out is a major ding: form is as important as function for such a jewelry/tech hybrid. A 2x slimmer second generation of the Apple Watch will get /everyone/ on board.

I agree. I think they will sell a boatload of the first generation, but two or three years down the track it will get its equivalent of the iPod-on-Windows or App-store-for-iPhone moment and take off. Everything will suddenly click and everyone will want one.

How many hundreds of millions of cars driving how many billions of road miles are driven by cars vs. bikes?

Is the decision to build roads for cars and not bikes still confusing for you?
While there are places that have fewer open taxis to hail, I never tell them where I'm going till I'm in the cab (it's against the rules to turn down a valid fair because of location IIRC). Easy enough to get a ride to most places you'd want to pay a taxi to go from there.

what is the purpose of this OS anyway?
Based on the width of that road it's entirely likely that the motorist is breaking the law by trying to pass when the road is too narrow to do so.

I agree with you that having dedicated bike-only lanes are a far superior solution to the bike/car traffic interaction problem.

Unfortunately in the scenarios described the driver is generally going to be at fault for doing something unsafe. I sympathize because doing the safe thing and waiting is not only inconvenient but also somewhere between frustrating and infuriating. But given the picture you linked to, the driver is at fault.

Now in the situation where there's a 3ft shoulder and the cyclist is riding in it and goes down and falls into the road forcing a driver to make a horrible choice between a bunch of bad options then yes I'm very sympathetic to the points you make.

But in that case the cyclist has 3ft to maneuver and probably doesn't hit the rock or the crack or veer or whatever. Furthermore a cyclist moving along at a decent clip is going to have a very hard time changing directions fast enough to get out into the road and under a car without giving the driver time to react. Bikes don't turn on a dime at 20mph. If you fall at 20mph you basically keep going in whatever direction you were headed, possibly with limbs flailing. Your center of mass can't just instantly move 3-5 feet perpendicular to the direction of travel.

If the cyclist loses control due to some other circumstance then whatever happens is on him for not maintaining control of his vehicle. Perhaps he could be prosecuted for manslaughter or get sued for wrongful death. I don't have a problem with that; real life has consequences.

Sexual orientation and sexual preference are not the same thing, though people argue where the line is. If you want to see a real shitstorm, see people arguing online if lesbians who sexually discriminate against transwomen are transphobic.
I've updated it with quad, cubic and sinusoidal modes. They all look good. Only problem is that because it's no longer linear, the various points can change at different rates and thus create 'kinks' in the curve. When it's linear, the 'line points' and the associated 'control points' are always in a line locally tangential to the curve (don't know the proper terminology but hopefully you understand).
Do you think that environment lock-in is something that most consumers care about?
Sounds good as a philosophy, but let's make it concrete and see where you stand: if you knew for a fact that not eating sugar would allow you to live for 6.35 years longer, would you still eat sugar?
I agree that sexual attraction is not a logical choice. If you tend not to be attracted to black women, that doesn't mean you're necessarily racist. It could just mean that, statistically, you have had a tendency to not be attracted to black women, and that can be for a variety of reasons, such as lack of black women in your vicinity. However, a lot of people, while not considering themselves racist in general, do in fact automatically rule out being attracted to people of specific races. In other cases, they have a fetish for a particular race. In both cases, that is in fact racist, because a conscious choice has been made on the basis of race. People's conscious choices can, to a degree, influence their tastes.

No, nobody bike commutes around here. I drive the main arteries out of my area every day and never see a cyclist. Not once in 8 years.

It's no surprise because the bike infrastructure stinks on those roads (which I'd be more than happy to support with my tax dollars to fix, and even give up a travel lane to make it happen).

It really is almost all sports bikers. It's all in the local area (I live in a very big development with almost zero office space anywhere nearby). It's hard to explain, but it really is just people tooling around in the suburbs and between developments training for bike races or triathlons.

It's a source of constant consternation and local messageboard discussion for the residents here who do have to get out of the suburb and to their jobs because all the cyclists really do impeded traffic to and from the arterial roads. What's specifically infuriating is that there's dozens of miles (maybe hundreds) of very well built and designed bike trails all over the same area, one of which even provides connectivity all the way into the major city some 30 miles away and intersects cleanly into several neighboring major employment centers (that almost all have branching connecting trail systems) along the way. I know the county next door has something like 500 miles of connected paved bike trails. But despite that, these guys will still get out on all the roads around here, endanger themselves and block traffic up for miles. I'm not sure how many there are, but it's enough to support a nice local bike store within walking distance from my house. But it's probably in the low hundreds.

Honestly, it only takes a dozen or so to fuck all the roads up every week.

The cyclists, not surprising don't give two shits and get on the local boards to make sure to let everybody know that and that their hobby is more important than everybody else.

It's a trick to make the simulation more stable. Stacking in physics engines is difficult. It's a careful balance between speed and stability.

If this demo took place on Earth, the Jenga blocks would have to be 1.96 meters long in order for the gravity to be realistic. Alternatively, if the Jenga blocks were the standard length of 7.5 cm, this would take place on a planet where gravity is 0.375 m/s² (less than the Moon).

If you want to see what the simulation looks like with Earth's gravity, change line 46 of examples/jenga.html (at commit e067679006a92dbbd02a81e990a69a86a5812e81) to

> I wonder what this would look like adjusted for income. The same author wrote about how much income matters in online dating, especially when over 23 and making less than 100k[1]

It didn't make it into that post, but I can tell you that, when we ran the numbers[0], the relationship between the races did in fact remain even when adjusted for income.

As suggested by one of the other comments in this thread, income does mitigate the effect somewhat (a black man who earns $100K+ was more appealing on average than a black man who earned <$20K), but the intercepts were still different (the effects of race were non-zero), even though the slopes were positive (income could counteract this).

There were a few surprising quirks that did come out when we teased income out, but I'd have to go back and check. Sorry I can't be more specific - this was over four years ago, and I don't have the data in front of me anymore!

> Roads are specifically engineered for cars, full stop.

I understand where you're coming from, but I respectfully disagree. Perhaps where you live they are, but there are many places where they are not.

I agree that getting cyclists off the car traffic lanes and into designated cycling lanes is the best solution to these issues.

Does the fact that some cyclists get away with running stop signs (which many cars also run, or merely slow down rather than "full and complete stop" at) somehow offset the fact that when cyclists die at the hands of a driver little to nothing happens to said driver?

Personally I think that cyclist deaths and the lack of consequence for drivers is a problem. And I'm all for ticketing cyclists who blatantly run stop signs; less so of ticketing cyclists who slowly roll through stop signs the same way many drivers do.

What's fair is fair and if cars can get away with it then cyclists should too. If cars can't, cyclists shouldn't either.
