What is sitemap in a website?
Remember, it was 4-5 years ago, and OPAM didn't exist.

I remember thinking, "Wouldn't it be neat to scrape some web sites?" I couldn't find anything in OCaml, but .NET had the HtmlAgilityPack written in C# for Windows. Pop over to github, pull down the source, recompile? Badda bing, badda boom, it's running in Linux. And I'm able to use it in F# without really having to know C# (Even though that's not the case). I realized that I could do that for literally thousands of different apps and utilities. So you had this entire ecosystem of programmers making open source stuff for windows that you could easily use in linux. That was the deal-closer.

Plus it looked like Mono had finished going through it's almost-ready-but-not-quite stage. I would still love to be able to permanently load .NET apps in Apache and call them a la fastCGI, but heck, even that might be a solved problem by now.

Finally there was the F# community, which was basically a bunch of old OO MS hacks like myself trying to find their way along mixed in with some really nice academic types who were helpful. OCaml, sadly, did not have that kind of feel. Instead there was a lot of French. And searching around the web for answers to how to do really simple things, like get started, write a web app, or cross-system develop.

The barrier to entry was just too high.

But, like I said, that's changing.
The company I worked for a few years ago (I'm not going to disclose who as I'll get shot) were an EU based insurance org and had a US subsidiary that they used for selling overseas. They had a 5 man legal team to keep the US govt off their backs. In the end they said "fuck it" and closed US operations down one afternoon with no noticed, cancelled everyone's policies and fired everyone (gave them 4 months pay at the same time).

Everyone was told why including the investors.

Not a major company (<$50M capital) but it stirred the pot big time in a particular sector of the insurance industry and pissed off a number of large investors in the US.
For those who said "why would you use something like Dart which is incredibly immature across the full stack?"

I would ask one simple question back -- Have you try Dart yet? I bet you don't. Like most people, I used to argue if Dart is too young to be production, but after I spent couple hours during weekend, all doubts is gone. And what is even magical is that I don't need to Learn it, very soon I found myself already making things I want with Dart, in a very productive way.

It won't even match GPRS.

I'm guesstimating you'll find an upper bound, assuming "friendly" telcos that don't start rate limiting, or dropping SMSs, at no more than about 6kbps. Quite likely less.

GSM data (which is normally possible anywhere where you can get a GSM voice connection) is 9600bps and uses the full, raw GSM data/voice channel. You'd not be able to exceed the channel bandwidth. Then you have the SMS overhead. And you're unlikely to manage to max out the channel.
Gee, thanks!
They really should have adopted functors and the OCaml module system. By not doing so, it's leaving too much coolness on the table. Instead, they did this thing where every file is actually a module, but not really. Kind of an OO mess. If they are not careful, they're going to end up in Scala hell, where it's FP sitting on top of OOP, instead of a true hybrid language. (Yes, I know it's all CLR under the hood, I'm talking about how it feels to the average developer)
I'm surprised by this comment. Google is still very supportive of open source, I don't think there is any comparison with other big tech companies. It's not just the still growing Google Summer of Code and Code-in programs[1], but the scope and number of open source projects that they publish and maintain: Android, Chrome OS, Chromium, V8, Go, Dart, Angle, Angular, PDFium, Guava, GWT, WebM...

By the way, I think the impact of Android (the open source project) is underestimated. There is a huge number of research and industry projects that are based on the open platform, not just phone and tablet apps but all kind of hardware projects.[2]

So when I read a casual dismissal of these efforts (by knowledgeable people like you) I feel bad for the engineers and managers that work to promote open source inside the company.

On the other hand, Google is the biggest force behind the shift to the Cloud, and that shift means more and more users using closed-source web apps like Google Docs instead of open source applications like LibreOffice, so there is that...

The subway is just a horizontal and larger version of the elevator, a place where people are trying very hard to not have to interact with those around them. The trip is short enough that you can't really talk, probably you see the same faces every day and you feel awkward. Situations like that give people a ton of reasons to look for an excuse, be it a book, a newspaper or their phone. They're also cranky, it's early morning before their first cup-of-favorite-beverage or late in the day when they simply want to get home from the office. It's a collectively murderous mood, not unlike what you'd get if you put all the people in a traffic jam into a single box.

Compare with trains and you see the opposite, people get to talk to each other, make friends.

Other than that I completely agree with you, technology will not by itself make your life more fulfilled or meaningful and quite possibly will make it less so.

The way this stuff is marketed is as though the mere ownership of gadget 'x' will make you more attractive/interesting/happy. And that's never the case.

Author fails to see that iWatch is actually a single model, without any variation at all. Same OS and apps, same controls, same hardware. Counting straps as different models is really silly. And besides, not a lot of people are fans of metal bracelets.

Second - if we are speculating about how Steve would see iPhone 6 then saying that he would keep THAT design and only fiddle with diagonal is also silly. Steve would have imagined something way more efficient and pretty - no button maybe, maybe radically different materials for body (and solve stupid stripes vs. radio dilemma), maybe it would be a flip or slider, maybe... maybe... Definitely not just 0.2 difference in diag.

I foresee a market of USB 3.1 external laptop graphics cards.
I used POSIX message queues in production once. They worked fine, as a replacement for TCP when on the same machine, with reduced latency (roughly 75%). But eventually I switched to Unix Domain Sockets which offered similar good performance with a more familiar operating model (e.g. no worries about cleaning up old queues, and it's just another type of socket). This was on Linux 2.6.32-ish, and the POSIX MQ implementation had no bugs that I noticed over some millions of messages. Which is more than I can say of the UDP implementation.
There were rumours of display manufacturing problems holding up the "bigger" iPhone 6. So I wouldn't be surprised to see a minor bump up to an actual 3x pixel size in the next revision.

(This would also give them back a minor marketing advantage that they had briefly when they introduced Retina, as I'd guess most mainstream Android's will stick at 1080p)

"Why do I need it?"

That is indeed the question I ask myself since the introduction of the iPhone. And it includes the iPad and certainly the iWatch.

I am a Mac user and although the old Mac models were not always better technologically, Jobs made us feel good when we used them. Just think about the awful time, when he had to re-sell the G4 to us again and again, because there was no progress with the G5. Who could have kept the spirit alive, if not Steve? That's one of his great achievements. That's not anymore. Apple has completely lost its focus with Macs. If Linux were not so bad, I'd be working on Thinkpads again, or Vaios.

The iPod when I first bought one of the 5GB original white ones, was such a great thing to use. It reminded me of the walkmans but it was so much better. No need to explain. But, in the meantime I use a Cowon, because it sounds so much better.

So, yes, there is truth in this article.

We have default settings for the services you add to your servers, but you can tune everything. Look at our Nginx doc for example (http://docs.devo.ps/services/nginx/), you can set up pretty much anything.

We give you all the tools to manage your infrastructure: provisioning, configuration management, variable management and automation.
nVidia's PTX is the most similar thing I can think of (and I know nVidia's GPGPU products pretty well right now). PTX is an ISA for a virtual machine, which makes it similar to HSAIL. PTX doesn't come with a memory model specification though.

However, I don't think either HSA or PTX is very important if nVidia, AMD, and Intel (wrt Xeon Phi's) don't start agreeing on standards. I haven't seen anything to convince me that nVidia wants to work within standards, and CUDA seems to have most of the market share right now, so I'm not too hopefully for portable heterogeneous computing in the near future.

To my grandparent poster: I don't think working with GPUs is that bad right now if you bind yourself to a vendor. In my experience, drinking the CUDA kool-aid (CU-aid?) isn't all that bad.
Yes. Apple's creations didn't all come singularly from Steve's mind. Apple's creations came from the team there.

Apple is not, and was not, one man.

It would be foolish to think that the entire company worked like some Borg collective where Steve was the head, and all Apple drones would wither and collapse without him. They clearly haven't.

It's not 'the 60'

It's 12 Cases:
Stainless (38/42mm)
Black Stainless (38/42mm)
Aluminum (38/42mm)
Space Gray Aluminum (38/42mm)
Rose Gold (38/42mm)
Yellow Gold (38/42mm)

and 15 bands:
5 Colors of Sport Band (Pink, Blue, White, Green, and Black)
Classic Buckle
Milanese Loop
Modern Buckle (Pink, Blue and Brown)
Leather Loop (Stone, Brown and Blue)
Stainless Steel Link (Stainless and Black)

In reality, I'd bet when this thing ships it's going to be the 12 watch sku's then an additional 15 sku's for the band,, the combination thereof to be assembled at the point of purchase.

You cant expect to package an sell any watch like a phone, it can't be one size fits all, not to get any real market penetration, because with jewelry, the technology takes a back seat to the appearance.
Hopefully Thiel clarifies what he means by "political atheism". All I could find on the net was an urban dictionary entry[0] and, well, this[1].

We're already using the Vagrant export feature internally and testing it with a few developers. It's still not as automated and smooth as we'd like (requires 1 manual step).

Our plan is to enable you to add a repo, define your infrastructure and be able to move anything to any type of cloud provider (move from Rackspace to AWS? Search and replace, git commit, git push and voila). The VM export should be in in the next few weeks and allows you to point at a server to be built as a VM and available on S3.

Come nag me in the chat: https://www.hipchat.com/gyHEHtsXZ. Happy to add you as a beta tester for this feature.
Computer Science Essays by Tony Hoare
Yes, "cerebellar agenesis" is an English term. Having Latin and Greek etymologies doesn't make the words Latin or Greek; "cerebellar" isn't even a legal Latin adjectival form.

Here are the titles of the wikipedia article "Cerebellum" in some other languages:

Lillehjerne (Danish)
Kleinhirn (German)
Parengephaliδa (Greek - Παρεγκεφαλίδα if you can read Greek)
Cerebelo (Spanish)
Cervelet (French)
Otak kecil (Indonesian)
Smadzenites (Latvian)
Kisagy (Hungarian)
Beyincik (Turkish)
Xiaonao (Chinese - 小脑)

Nobody's copying the English word (well, Tagalog and Malaysian are) -- they're all using their own native terms for "small brain".
I'm not sure that's as big a problem in academia as in other circles. I would imagine that academic researchers (professors) are highly discerning among their friends based to a large extent on competence.

It's like how recruiting for engineers is best done through the networks of your engineers; they really only hang out with top people anyway (give or take).

> The problem with rsync is that it would have to traverse all the FS tree and check every single file on both sides for the timestamp and the file.

- In this scenario, the receiving side is empty, so there is no need to check every single file.

- Since 3.0, rsync walks the dirtree while copying (unless you use some special options). So, in some sense, rsync is already "deep syncing inside the FS tree", as you put it.
Exactly, most people were never fond of engaging with random strangers beyond utilitarian communication. This is unrelated to smartphones.

How to Build Your Everything Really Really Fast
Warlocks
Julius Caesar was the first historical Roman deified as a god, and Augustus promoted himself as a son of god, partly or mostly for political reasons.

Christ denied the prevailing notion of the day that Julius Caesar is a god (and Augustus is a son of god). Therefore, he is an anti-establishment, and an atheist or unbeliever in the political realm. Thiel refers to this as 'political atheism'.

In his last sentence, he mentioned that libertarianism is related to 'political atheism', which was Christ's view of the political order of the day.

The commonality I make out of his reasoning is that both Christianity in those days and current-day libertarianism are anti-establishment.

A very interesting shift in frame of reference. And you can point out that, politically, some Christian beliefs have in practice become part of the establishment today, which sort of contradicts his point. What do you think?

Please correct me if I'm wrong. My scant knowledge of the Roman era is mostly from Crash Course [1] (highly recommended for learning in an entertaining way, and I believe most of the contents are good too) and a bit from Wikipedia [2].

Intel Says Laptops and Tablets with 3-D Vision Are Coming Soon
I read it (after substantial rereading) as that Christ should be viewed as a "disruptor"; that he did not view the established authority as special (divine right of kings and all that). Political atheism as a term could be seen to make sense in this context, with the "theism" being the acceptance of the class hierarchy/strong ruler/whatever was oppressive about the State back in Christ's days. That would make political atheism seem (I assume in Theil's eyes) analogous to libertarianism, which calls for great freedom (in its most basic form; some would not call it true liberality, but eh, different argument).

So yeah, Christ can be seen to be against the controlling social order of his time, as can Libertarianism today.

Disclaimer: I'm so far left wing that most libertarians would call me a fascist, so assume some bias.

As the other poster said, it's a square with bits cut off. You can program it per pixel if you want to, but for most typical use-cases developers will be using higher level APIs that handle the details for you.

You can try out developing for both the square and round screens for free using the provided emulators: https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/creati...
Assuming it is reading and writing almost simultaneously that is ~125Mbyte/sec on each physical drive, which isn't bad considering the latency of the read-from-three-or-four-then-checksum-then-write-to-the-other-one-or-two process if you if the array was was in use at the time.

There are a few ways to improve RAID rebuild time (see http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-raid-increase-resync-reb... for example) but be aware that they tend to negatively affect performance of other use of the array while the build is happening (that is, you are essentially telling the kernel to give more priority to the rebuild process than it normally would when there are other processes accessing the data too).
Are cost per square foot comparisons meaningful between buildings of very different size? Many of the costs are going to be for things that do not scale linearly with building size.

For example, consider a single room building with a square floor plan. Suppose this building needs an electrical panel, and it needs an outlets every 10 feet along the walls. Suppose an electrician costs $100/hour, takes one hour to install a panel, and 15 minutes to run wire to an outlet location and install the outlet.

For a 10x10 (100 square feet) building, it would cost $200 for the electrical work, for a contribution of $2 per square foot to the building cost.

For a 100x100 (10000 square feet) building, it would cost $1100 for the electrical work, for a contribution of $0.11 per square foot to the building cost.

I'd expect a typical building would have a lot of sub-costs that are either independent of the building size, or scale with the perimeter length.
