For what types of applications do you think it's actually important to use the native language of the OS? After all, non-native languages can have bindings for the OS APIs. In your opinion, what are the drawbacks of mostly avoiding C++ and using one's favorite language, as the GP said?
You can't do that for ",", because it will break the existing code.
For example, int x = 0; x = 1,2; is perfectly valid pre c++11 code. This will assign 1 to x. Now if you make "," as digit separator, it will assign 12 to x

Axis 2 disorders like Social Anxiety Disorder appear in the data as stable clusters of symptoms. Attaching a name to that stable cluster of phenomena is no different from attaching a name to the stable cluster of phenomena we call "smallpox". And attaching a name to the phenomenon is the first step toward identifying the causes and figuring out the cure (or even if it needs to be cured.)

So yes, lots and lots of people have considered whether or not giving something a name adds anything to the conversation, and we have generally found it does. We have a lot of powerful tools for thinking, and words are one of the better ones.

Does this mean we never make mistakes? Of course not, but unlike every other approach, isolating clusters of symptoms by an act of selective attention and reifying them with a name has long proven to be an extremely useful approach, so we keep on doing it even though we get it wrong sometimes. The great thing about science is that unlike every other approach to the world, it corrects itself fairly reliably, although sometimes it takes more than a generation to do so.

His advisor's memoir is also interesting:

"So after Yitang graduated, I told him the normal way of seeking
jobs. When I looked into his eyes, I found a disturbing soul, a burning
bush, an explorer who wanted to reach the north pole, a mountaineer who
determined to scale Mt. Everest, and a traveler who would brave thunders
and lightnings to reach his destination. Yitang never came back to me
requesting recommendation letters. Apparently, he did not seek a job. Even
to the date Yitang announced his monumental result I did not know what
was the best for him. Though I was sure of one thing, − he could not survive
the life of “tenure-track,” “tenure,” and “promotions”. It was not his type.
I regarded him as a free spirit, and I should let him fly."

Creating amazing copy by addressing the JTBD
ELisp, Scheme and Common Lisp are all LISPs, so they all use a common terminology, s-expressions for syntax, allow higher-order functions and macros, etc. but their programming paradigms tend to be different.

Common Lisp tends to follow a procedural style (if/switch statements, for/while-loops, lots of side-effects, etc.). CL also has the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) which is a very powerful OO implementation.

On the other hand, Scheme tends to follow a more functional style (recursion, map/reduce, continuations, minimising side-effects, etc.).

ELisp tends to be quite procedural, which is why it's closer to CL than Scheme. Also ELisp uses dynamic scope whilst Scheme uses lexical scope. Lexical scope has only been (officially) supported in ELisp since Emacs 24 (the latest major version).

The DNA would have to undergo purification beforehand anyway, to extract it from the cell and separate it out from the cellular proteins and RNA. So histone removal would be through modified salt concentrations and protease action.

Also I think the method you are describing is their other sequencing approach - this one, as far as I know, passes an intact strand through each pore and examines the electrical conductivity of overlapping 6 base pair sequences.

really any "outdoorsy" city -- Denver, Salt Lake, Seattle, Juneau, Flagstaff, Jackson Hole, Bend, Asheville -- is going to be hard to replace. Even with another city from the list. Seattle's mountains aren't really the same as Salt Lake City's mountains, which aren't really the same as Denver's mountains (I have lived in or near all 3 cities.)

And of course if you're working remotely, you can live in a much smaller town that can't be replicated in any way. There's no way to replace "I live in my grandpa's hometown" (Milo, MO -- not a place I want to live, but if I did, there would be no replacing it.)

ISO has always charged for its standards, which made more sense when they were distributed on paper. It's especially goofy for C++ as the (latex) source code for the final version of the standard is on Github now, so the only thing that's paywalled is the "official" pdf version.

Why Python 4.0 won’t be like Python 3.0
One problem is that the finance industry in the UK sucks up a lot of the talent, and much of the rest goes into telecoms. We're pretty strong in both areas. Plus defence I suppose, as you say, so make that three although I'm not as familiar with that industry's tech sector. For a small to medium sized country like ours, even with a reasonable supply of tech talent, it doesn't leave a lot left over for other industries.
I was hoping for an article of more depth. The points in the article, roughly backwards.

- Taxes don't even matter to most startups because they don't make any money. Maybe they're called startups because it's hard to start up. Har har.

- If finance money were important, then Silicon Valley should have been in NYC. Others have said this on this thread and many others. Someone should write a piece that snuffs this line of reason once and for all.

- The presence of established tech companies doesn't mean much either. I'm just not even going to hit this one, beyond saying that Armonk and Redmond don't have a splash of small companies nearby them.

Independence or not, a startup hub in Scotland would be nice.

With Liquid You Can Personalize Apps in Real-time Without Changing Code
Yeah but my experience with Upverter is that it has been lacking in features. I wouldn't trust it to design anything serious.

It feels like a web version of Eagle -- which isn't a good thing. I know I'm sounding negative but I think EE's are very particular about their toolset and while most other tools out there suck it would still be a hill for me and most EE's that I know to climb to switch over to something like Upverter.

If you guys polished it up and paid more attention to the user experience you'd have a very compelling product that would take the market.
iOS is a special case for ad-blocking, because until iOS8 Safari could be induced to redirect you to the Appstore app, and (less reputable) ads would frequently take advantage of this.

I've really enjoyed Marionette as a more (but still not very) opinionated approach to Backbone development. You mentioned the messenger protocols, definitely checkout Backbone.Radio [1], it's being created to replace Wreqr, the current event implementation and has a much cleaner API. The plans seem to be to bundle it with Marionette 3.0 when it gets there, but its usable with the current version.

I suspect that over time the C++ community will settle on a set of conventions around the use of auto in this context. Much like how passing in a mutable reference is considered a no-no and you're expected to instead pass in a mutable pointer so it's obvious to the caller that you can change the value via the parameter list.

The Nitro engine is available only to the new WKWebView component, but that component has a bug [1] which prevents it from loading local files. This means that Cordova must continue using the old UIWebView, which means no Nitro boost at least until 8.1 or possibly later (however long it will take to fix that bug).

Apple's iPhone support cycle is such that there are significant downsides to getting a device from an older generation.

For example: The iPhone 4S was released in October 2011. In October 2013, Apple released iOS 7. While iOS 7 supports the 4S, it increases RAM overhead to the point that switching from app A to app B kills app A the vast majority of the time. (This is terribly annoying when you're writing, you switch to a web browser to look something up, and when you switch back the thing you were writing disappears.)

The user adoption rate of new OSes is ridiculously high. This means you will have maybe 3-6 months after the new OS comes out before apps no longer support the old one.
Why do you assume that there won't be a 4" model going forward? Do you know how many of those devices they sold? Its dead in terms of development is unwarranted exaggeration at the least.

you are right, this is a sticky spot when using immutability from javascript

- you can clone-and-mutate (I started here, but it quickly became a bottleneck in my app, and jr developers forget a lot leading to hard to find bugs)

- you can use real persistent datastructures (Mori), but now you have added a cross cutting concern - which type of array is the one i'm working with right now?

- you can use React.addons.update (I use this successfully, but you need to get used to a weird syntax)

Om provides an abstraction over React state called Cursors which provides immutable updates to react state at any point in a state subtree. I ported this concept to javascript (implemented in terms of React.addons.update) and have used this successfully in two large scale enterprise applications for regulated industries and I know of one other company using this. This provides a very clean and elegant programming model for immutable updates to react state.

To be completely honest, I think it's hands down the best looking smartwatch.

The Moto 360 is the only competitor in looks, and it does indeed look great in renders. The problem is that it actually looks horrible (IMHO) in person. It's huge -- really massive. Nobody with a small wrist can wear a Moto 360 without looking a bit dorky. The strap attaches to the watchface at the very bottom as well, and it's a very thick watch, so the thickness is just emphasized in a very bad way. It's a bug chunk of metal sitting on your wrist on an inelegant way.

It sounds like they are reading several DNA strands in parallel at the same time, and each output-sequence has noise. It seems to me the problem then becomes one of finding the most probable "signal sequence" given all those noisy output-sequences. Oh, and it also sounds like you wouldn't know which letter is number 1, which is number 2, etc. Is that right?

It seems like a fun problem in information theory. Can you point us to some articles or papers about current approaches to solving it?
To get an idea of just how convoluted control of a single asset could get, here's a bit describing his Florida mansion.

"Mr. Bilzerian's wife, Ms. Steffen, made a deal in 2002, opposed by her husband, to spring him from jail. She agreed to have the partnership sell the mansion and split the proceeds with the receiver, plus turn over some securities and cash.

When the mansion sold in 2004, for $2.55 million, the buyer was another partnership. This one was controlled partly by the mother of a next-door neighbor. Mr. Bilzerian helped put together the deal.

Among the other partners was a corporation controlled by Mr. Bilzerian's wife's parents. Their involvement remained unknown to the SEC for at least two years.

The in-laws were majority partners, holding a 99% interest, at first through the corporation and then through a trust. Mr. Bilzerian's sons were named as trust beneficiaries.

In 2006, amid a dispute between the Bilzerians and the neighbor's mother, a state judge called the couple "at best…trespassers or squatters" and ordered them to leave the property. But they stayed after the partnership went into bankruptcy and the house was sold to a firm that was run by another Bilzerian acquaintance.

That firm made its purchase with financing help from a Bermuda charity, Puma Foundation Ltd., named for a Bilzerian family cat.

Just before the sale closed, a trust controlled by Mr. Bilzerian's mother-in-law acquired a majority interest in the purchasing firm. The firm paid his wife to manage the property. "

WinJS 3.0 released
I don't use an ad blocker but I also don't have Flash installed. That last step was transformative a few years back when Flash was even slower and unreliable on OS X but it's still a surprising win even now.

The main difference I see now is that people with ad blockers talk about frequenting sites which have tons of ads, which doesn't send a message to the owner and probably actually exacerbates the problem since they'll toss bigger, more intrusive ads in ads the clicks-per-visitor rate drops. If I hit a site like that, I'll just leave and go somewhere else which respects its visitors more, particularly if they're savvy enough to follow the lead of sites like ArsTechnica which allow subscribers to disable ads.

The fact that Apple still sells iPhone 5S at 32Gb in addition to 16Gb means that there might still be hope for 4" fans.

If you're about to switch ecosystem and hate anything but 4", I'd get the 5S, it's still a fantastic phone with a top-class processor, top-class camera, awesome screen, good battery, and whatnot. It'll still be updated for 2-3 years software-wise, so it's more than enough for an ecosystem jump; after all, in 3 years, you might want to jump again somewhere else for different reasons.

How to Decide If You Should Build or Buy a Software Product
We use Marionette in production at work. I enjoy it. I've supported existing Marionette applications and have also built a pretty complex calendar app using Marionette from scratch. Marionette seems to match up with my "intuition" as to how things should work. The ability to effortless swap modules and views in and out of regions is great. I'm not sure if that is hardwired into other Javascript MVC libraries and frameworks but if it isn't, I doubt I would like them.

I've had some other experience, I built a beta site for a startup using regular Backbone. I've also built a pretty complex site using Batman.js but it never got to see the light of day. Other than that, I've just toyed with Angular and Ember.
Exactly. auto ensures consistency, but it eliminates the need to officially declare intent - which was a key part of type safety.

Not only did you need to use the type correctly, but you needed to declare the desire to use a specific type from the get-go.
It's kind of like when you stop watching TV for years — encountering a TV commercial is a horribly memorable and distracting event. You also develop a hypersensitivity to ads on the web after blocking them for a long time.
