If you're after reliability, the default config is probably not what you want. For the default config though, it may be preferable to keep things simple. Note that a cron setup could still work without an MTA daemon.
I don't think Apple objects to geeky features in general--OS X ships with a pretty robust CLI and it doesn't get much geekier than that.

I think they just want to first make sure that the default user interface is totally solid and easy to use, and that the geeky stuff will not harm that. That way geeks can opt into power user stuff, but regular users don't even have to know it's there.

iOS has seen a steady progression of power-user functionality: SDK, cut/copy/paste, app switching, detailed notifications settings, cloud storage and syncing, etc. But if you go back to the original iPhone UI, the basics will still work that way in iOS 8.
Now that the iPhone has a big screen, there's only one feature it's missing before I'd be happy to trade in my Android: background camera upload syncing for Dropbox that doesn't cut out after 10 minutes.

Edit: would appreciate an explanation for the downvote. Does iOS already allow this and I missed it?

It's interesting to see the base price is below the OEM.

Almost, you scale by their metabolic weight. It's about 7 times higher for mice than for humans.

I'm not a scientist (heh) so the best explanation a quick google search gave was an article on CLA from the jn - journal of nutrition:

"The relationship between basal metabolic rate or energy expenditure and body weight in different size mammals is described by the function Y = aX0.75, where Y is basal metabolic rate (kJ/d), X is body weight (kg) and a is basal metabolic rate per kg0.75 per day, which is ∼300 kJ/ (kg0.75 · d). Thus, the basal metabolic rate in different size species is proportional to the body weight raised to the 0.75 power, the so called metabolic weight."

While I haven't looked at this specific example, my rule of thumb is usually to trust Anandtech because their writers are often actual engineers that understand the hardware and software changes and have some discussion and speculation based on that information. Elsewhere you usually just find writing based on hands-on anecdotes and technical information that was simply spoon-fed to the reviewer.

As an aside, I love my 2013 VZW Moto X DE. Between Motorola's goodies and Xposed + GravityBox, I don't have to bother with custom ROMs [for now].

What are the major changes from the 1st edition? I had bought the old one just a few months back...
The type of h isn't so hard to understand, there. |auto| gives you a value; if you want a reference, use |auto&|. This rule actually makes |auto| more readable: you always know if you're looking at a reference or not.

Probably you expected |auto| to behave like |decltype()|, C++11's other form of type deduction, which gives you the actual type of an expression. C++14 adds |decltype(auto)|, which lets you declare local variables using this behavior if you want it.

I'm not sure whether I'd apply Herb's AAA rule quite as broadly as he suggests, but I think it's broadly right, because far too often in C++ we write a type twice on the same line, which is just redundant. I vastly prefer |auto val = new MyClass;| to |MyClass val = new MyClass;|, and similarly |auto casted = static_cast<MyType>(uncasted);| is completely readable without typing writing "MyType" a second time. C++ programmers are a conservative lot, but I expect using |auto| at least in those cases to be pretty mainstream within a few years.
Slowly.

I'm not that smart so I go through tech books slowly so I can hopefully retain more of it and maybe even apply the knowledge day to day as I acquire it. I've always been jealous of people who rip through a dense (knowledge dense, not pages dense) tech book in a weekend and say they got it all.

The books that are more code oriented, I read on the computer so that I can type and run the code as I work through the book.

The books that are more theory or higher level I read on an e-reader.

Afraid you're woefully incorrect. The root user is no more contained inside a default docker image than they are inside a chroot, which is, not really at all. It isn't difficult to break out of a container if you have uid 0 aka root. This will change when the userns stuff lands, but it hasn't yet, so that doesn't count yet.

If a study could link popular, widely-deployed sweeteners found in processed foods and drinks, that would point to a big public health issue.

A problem with saccharin doesn't point to a wide-spread public health issue. Sacharrin has been vilified on and off over its entire lifetime. My parents' and grandparents' generation believed that it was a harmful poison, for instance; I remember hearing that as a kid. Only in the year 2000, in the US, were requirements for warning labels lifted, which had been in the effect since the 1970's, when saccharin was linked to cancer in rodents:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharin#Warning_label_additio...

In spite of the lift, it doesn't seem that saccharin has made a comeback. Part of the reason could be taste. Particular mixtures of sweeteners are used in diet foods sweeteners in order to better simulate the taste of sugar.

This is similar to about level 2 or 3, out of 5, of some cracks I've done for security CTF (capture the flag) competitions. Almost every competitive team/individual will solve this pretty easily, and I haven't even been in the elite competitions where it probably gets much harder. So, I would expect there are harder cracks or exploits, if the company wants to hire the best.

By the way, if this sort of thing interests anyone, look into security CTF competitions. You'll probably have to read some tutorials to learn, but CTF's will give the opportunity to apply what you've learned.
There's a running joke in the Erlang community that every Erlang programmer will at some point try and re-implement Supervisors and do it horribly wrong. This isn't because the person is a bad programmer, it's just easy to underestimate the amount of time and incredible programming that has gone into Erlang's supervisors.

By sticking with Go, the author gets to keep the static types but likely gets faux-Supervisors at best.

I think you're underestimating one's capacity to accept a tradeoff. Once a person learns that RAM is constantly consuming power as it's being refreshed – and that a device with more RAM is going to have less standby time – they might appreciate the decision to try to do more with less.

This is for contrast detection which is used by older/cheaper detectors, and specifically not in the iPhone 6, Galaxy S5. Contrast detection is why my iPad (4th generation) can be seen to visibly scan through its whole focus range before fixing focus on the part I want in focus. The whole idea of phase detection is that this is not necessary with the correct hardware.
Absolutely everywhere, it is a common subproblem in many many algorithms. For example, the basin hopping algorithm (sister of SA) solves one at every step.

A specific example is in image deblurring via Tikhonov regularization, which involves minimizing a function that is provably convex for many physically realistic types of blurring.

Well, you can't really do that. We don't know nearly enough about it. Hell, we're not even good at normal dietary science yet and the whole gut bacteria science field is really new.

You can find a healthy and fit person and get them to give you some of their gut flora and then eat it. That could probably work. It also might make you sick (I imagine) and it's terribly disgusting: "On a scale from swallowed to poo, how do you want my eaten food?"
I would disagree that this is an issue of separation of concerns, but instead it is a self-imposed separation for developer sanity. They are two different technologies, so one has to do a mental context-switch every time they go from writing View code to DOM/template code. Regardless if they are writing them in the same place or not.

I'd also much rather use a restricted templating engine like Handlebars so that my templates are forced to be "logic-less". I really don't think my template should have access to all of javascript.

Does this guy have any idea how hard it is to come up with good interview questions? By posting the question and solution online (complete with an md5sum and everything!), he has ruined the question, and his employer will now need to spend a significant amount of time coming up with another way to evaluate candidates.
It would be interesting to see what it takes to get this functionality (at least locally) into Haskell given that there are asynchronous exceptions... even ones with arguably greater safety than their Erlang compatriots.

A similar effort is happening with the Cloud Haskell program, but my understanding is that they're pouring a lot of effort into transmitting arbitrary Haskell functions over the wire between computers. This is pretty unnecessary for supervision and "Let it Crash"-style error handling alone.

This Bizarre Organism Builds Itself a New Genome Every Time It Has Sex
can someone explain to me why it's okay to give mice a human-amount of sweetener, and not a mice-amount?

This means that the mice got a dose per unit of body weight like what humans would get if they ate that FDA-defined maximum. That's what equivalent doses are taken to mean in animal models of human nutrition or medicine. When there is known to be a different bioavailability or digestive response in animals from humans, then the dose is adjusted with that in mind before the experiment begins.

So, no, the tiny bodies of mice were not subjected to the large servings that much bigger human beings eat. They got a dose adjusted for the body weight of mice.
The thing is though that you need to build muscle memory not just memorize the finger placement (thats the easy part)
I found it helpful. I don't really want to even bother with paywalled sites, much nicer to just read the abstract here.

September Atom Package Roundup
For comparison, that amount of sweetener (9-12 packets) is found in about 3 cans of Diet Coke (35mg aspartame per packet, 125mg per Diet Coke). I suspect there are quite a few people who consume more than that in a day.
The paper contains some preliminary human data as well. From the New Scientist writeup:

But can the results in mice be extrapolated to humans? To find out, the team examined data from 381 people. They found an association between glucose intolerance and general sweetener use.

and:

To explore this, the team asked seven healthy people who don't normally consume sweeteners to eat the FDA's maximum daily allowance of saccharin. ... By day five, four of the seven people had a significant decrease in their glucose tolerance, while three saw no change. Sequencing showed that those who responded to the sweetener started out with different gut bacteria to those who didn't respond. What's more, the gut bacteria of the four responders changed significantly after consuming sweeteners, while the non-responders' barely changed.

It's an infosec job, so this kind of thing is actually quite appropriate. Though of course, perhaps not so much depending on the exact area, e.g. for network security it would not be as relevant compared to application security.

That doesn't help much, though. There's all kinds of things that are toxic to one species and not another, even just in Mammalia, and everything that anything anywhere ever eats is definitely not good for some other species.
I have a pretty cool crackme that I programmed and I wanted to offer it as a puzzle to some candidates, but without the proper reverse engineering tools, I think most candidates would really struggle -- especially if you're looking for just general developers.

I explicitly stated that I was not advocating drug use. What I am advocating, if you would actually bother read my comments, was that the farmers' dose and dose frequency are pushing the therapeutic window (i.e. it nears toxicity). Regularly taking a therapeutic-level dose of hydrocodone would not push that window.

If you think repeatedly taking extremely high doses of Tramadol is somehow safer than small doses of hydrocodone, then you're unbelievably ignorant.

As a side note, hydrocodone is one of the least potent mu-opioid antagonists, but it is more potent than Tramadol. That is the only reason I mentioned it by name.

And I take no stock in governmental drug laws with regard to pharmacology, so your mention of it being removed from medical use in a handful of countries means nothing to me.
Sweeteners are suspected to have downed the Roman empire (via lead poisoning), so, learn from history and just change your taste norm and you'll live longer and happier. I had a sweet tooth once and it took about a couple of years to even not being able to tolerate it. The weak find excuses, the strong adapt and improve. Just reject anything with refined sugar or fancy new "healthier" sweeteners - do you like sugar more than tomorrow? Cane sugar is not healthier than HCFS (it might be just slightly less harmful). Agave "Nectar" actually has significantly more fructose than HCFS... and it's not unprocessed as claimed, and so on. Stevia is slightly different, the plant has other benefits, but I wouldn't ever use the adulterated version (Reb A or whatever). Hack your taste buds, hackers!
Yes you're right, except I wasn't able to get a Debian install image to burn to a thumb drive the Mac would recognize. That's why I had to use Mint. Unfortunately, for this particular MBP there are no nvidia drivers that work well or at all in Mint, so I went the masochistic #! install route. I'm glad I did though.

CSS retina hairline, the easy way
WELL I NEVER, See I Told You, Morning Commuter Time (NNN) — British scientists have uncovered why little girls like pink toys. “Women are hardwired to like pink,” says Professor Gene Hunt of the University of Metro, “because their cavewoman foremothers spent their days gathering red leaves and berries amongst the trees.” Later, women needed to notice red-faced babies and blushing boyfriends. Men are attracted to blue because of the colour of the sky as seen when hunting.

Women are also predisposed to backstab one another in the workplace and cry in the boardroom, just like the social structures in the cave population as extrapolated from these two bone needles. Being too successful will increase women’s testosterone, giving them hairy nipples and male-pattern baldness. Females joining the hunt may also explain the end of the Neanderthals.

IQ test studies show that women have lower IQs on average than men, undoubtedly from lesser need for environmental variation while taking care of the cave. Tests on little boys prove that testosterone correlates with a sense of humour, which is why women just can’t take a joke. Housework has been shown to cut the risk of several fatal diseases, and dressing up nicely around the house is psychologically healthy as it uses the Homo erectus clan maintenance abilities of the female of the tribe.

Men are naturally predisposed to sleep with as many women as possible, as proven by lions, whereas women are naturally predisposed to stay loyal to their man and their spawn. Women who sleep around are at increased risk of parasites and death, as proven by cheetahs, who are a pack of catty sluts.

In a final crowning achievement, the team has shown that daily fellatio greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer. Furthermore, regular sexual intercourse is essential to feminine health, but may be injurious if prolonged for more than two minutes or conducted while the man is sober.

“In conclusion,” says Professor Hunt, “all of this is top-notch science that you can absolutely rely on. Now get your knickers back on and make me a cuppa.”

"You don't." Now, that's slightly hyperbolic for effect, but let me clarify: We know SO LITTLE about actual correlations between gut microbiome and how it impacts the body in the long term. We can barely even correlate a single given feature of your gut as being related to, say, obesity. (My partner spent some time in a lab asking this precise question; I will, if I can get a source, give some sort of paper link when I get home from work) There's a lot of fad science around diet and microflora nowadays, but the sense I get as an observer of someone who is in that field, it's about as wishy washy as if you asked a computer scientist "what are the leading causes of disk failure." We know that if you shove a screwdriver through it it won't be happy, but there's still tons of debate about the finer points. (And your gut is WAY more complex than a HDD).

So, takeaway from this ramble, do what your body responds well to, and keep to generally "good patterns" of hygene and balanced diet. Anecdotally, and from many practicing physicians, this tends to work out "ok" in the long run.
Inferrence isn't magic and has sensible limits.

First of all, I didn't say that Tramadol was not a psychotropic. I said it was not a potent one.

Second, the definition you are describing is a depressant, not a psychotropic.
Swype is now - what, four or five years old? They were fantastic in 2010, but what they offer is now default on Android (and apparently also now iOS) keyboards. They should have exited before their main feature became a commodity.
If we asked questions like that at our interviews, it would take us 10 years to hire one candidate. Most people fail at basic basic stuff.
Thanks! I appreciate the nudge. :)
