Yes, the careful use of honey is beneficial in some situations. I'm not suggesting that all sugars should be excluded from a child's diet.

I've also seen honey used in burn dressings which was fascinating. Also grusome.
Care for a little comparation with TypeScript ? If i know TS why should i look at PS ?
If you untangle the carried interest taxes, it gets more complicated than that. To close that "loophole" is basically to get rid of sweat equity. When you put it that way, it doesn't sound quite as appealing. I'm not saying it's not a debatable issue, but it has nothing to do with corrupt hedge fund managers.

"Apple's $3 Billion 'Beats' Deal Breakdown; $2.5 Billion for 'Beats Electronics' and $500 Million for 'Beats Music'"

Sounds like they're killing two birds with one stone:

1. Closing down a brand that completed with iTunes/iTunes Radio, likely to merge streaming directly into the iTunes player. This makes sense, given how un-Apple the current Beats UX is. [1]

2. Re-position the Beats brand back to Beats Headphones. This is the money maker anyways.

None of this feels surprising, does it?

[1] "I'm at a party & feel like BBQing with my BFF to Dance-Pop" does not feel very Apple-esque to me personally. http://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-BE268_012214_G_...
>> "Then why don't live coders use rich sounds, or make complicated things?"

because there is no reason, because livecoding hasn't matured at the same rate as other production software. at the risk of painting a broad stroke, the people who care about livecoding don't really care about rich sounds.

do you recall how EDM sounded in the 90s and early 2000s compared to now? and they were using the same exact tools as they use today. but i'm pretty sure a lot of techno producers were literally limited to like 6 tracks or something. and the sounds they used were god awful. not because they preferred it, but because they were technically limited by these parameters.

but people still made music, people still danced, and the genre progressed along with it's tooling over the next 20 years.

the music is still evolving side by side with the software we build to produce it. livecoding is just another instrument that hasn't been exploited to it's fullest advantage (as a "live" coding or a production tool).

i've played in touring bands, and i produce electronic music for fun now. i've been a software engineer about my whole life. i would love more programming language options in my production. the same way tweaking a VST can result in more interesting melodies than you originally intended, programming languages can be a great tool to help explore audio in unique ways.
Isn't JSTOR what started the issues for Aaron Swartz?

On topic: I read about that probably being how they moved the materials in second grade.
It confuses me when people think there would be a single reason to the acquisition, when instead they probably bought Beats for some combination of

1) a lucrative accessories (headphones) business

2) the Beats executives

3) a relatively small streaming service
I've started TTY library as an extraction from another project. It was born out of necessity to keep things that are generic in another place. Even more so, a lot of TTY library is devoted to supporting table rendering, surprising or not it involves terminal properties detection, ansi strings handling etc...

Thank you for pointing me to Perl library. The only thing I would say is that TTY gem does not have option parser and will probably not have one. Its main concern is more focused on prompting for values than actually providing a way to structure command line interface. There are already libraries that do an excellent job of that. Other features I will have to look individually into. I'd love to have more input on that from yourself.

I have actually recently thought about the dependencies for this library. Originally I wanted to make it easy to vendor things but I have actually started extracting code from this lib as well. For example, the https://github.com/peter-murach/equatable library. So I definitely agree with you and think this is the direction I'm gonna go!
> But HTTP is a resource manipulation mechanism: GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/... It's not optimized for transporting data.

Resource manipulation is primarily transporting data (resource representations) -- sure, DELETE, HEAD, and some of the auxiliary verbs aren't so much about that, but GET / PUT / POST are.
I must listen to weird-ass music, because a good 40-50% of the music in my iTunes library simply isn't on Spotify.

I think I would be OK with the Spotify model if the catalog was better.

I've written quite a lot of TypeScript, and I generally feel very productive in it, but occasionally I feel like I want more from the type system (type classes, rank-N types, sum types, etc.) and tidier syntax. You might be interested in Bodil Stokke's recent Strange Loop talk, where she discusses why she switched from TypeScript. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIlDBPiMb0o
Sandler et al.'s paper http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3250231/ referenced in the article clears things up. The title: "The gradual emergence of phonological form in a new language". The abstract: The division of linguistic structure into a meaningless (phonological) level and a meaningful level of morphemes and words is considered a basic design feature of human language. Although established sign languages, like spoken languages, have been shown to be characterized by this bifurcation, no information has been available about the way in which such structure arises. We report here on a newly emerging sign language, Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language, which functions as a full language but in which a phonological level of structure has not yet emerged. Early indications of formal regularities provide clues to the way in which phonological structure may develop over time.
It may be a minority to prefer owning music, but it's not a small one. Most music enthusiasts I know prefer a personal collection, it adds sentimental value. Many also use a combination of Spotify and personal vinyl and desktop collections.

I guess it depends on the client, if he is willing to take the risk that, for e.g., his app won't be compilable with the final version of RubyMotion. You can probably convince him it is a good idea if you specify in your contract that you will offer support in the future when RubyMotion for Android is stable.

I think RubyMotion could be a good idea, even today, for someone that knows and use Ruby for his own projects.

There has been a lot of discussion about 5G in the wireless industry, but we could be getting ahead of ourselves a little. To get the types of speeds being talked about, they mention spectrum above 3Ghz. Although alluded to a bit in the article, realistically to get the amount of spectrum needed (1000Mhz) they are probably going to end up in the 60Ghz band. The propagation in that band is very short, so the "densification" mentioned in the article would require a huge number of small cells, far more than is currently envisioned. One big stumbling block for some countries will be various regulatory bodies that would have to sign off on all the fiber trenching and small cell installations. Wireless backhaul is out of the question for C-RAN realistically. I think when it comes (5G) it will be only practical to deploy in dense urban areas in my view.
I don't have much to add, but this weekend I was buying headphones at Microcenter. My wife wanted a pair of noise cancelling headphones for flying and I want bluetooth headphones for easier dog walking (leash + headphone cables = ouch).

The Beats headphones were all locked up and, holy hell, the pricetags on them were ridiculous. $299 and up? I ended up getting a pair of $35 BT headphones and a pair $99 Creative noise-cancelling headphones.

I can certainly see how Apple is drawn to that brand. What's it cost to make even a premium set of headphones? Maybe a tiny fraction of $299? Apple probably got sick of seeing Beats eat up the high-end for what, I imagine, is used mostly on iOS devices. Beats Music might just be an free extra and ultimately a casualty here. Cheap earbuds that come with your iOS device or Beats at the Apple store make sense for the conspicuous consumer. The profit margins must be impressive.
Streaming is the unfortunate intersection of industry desire for control and consumer friendliness.

Most people don't really care enough to curate their collection of music (and even if they do a playlist fits the bill), they just want to be able to listen to whatever they want whenever they want. Although the benefits of owning the music are real, they are sort of intangible in a digital world where a good chunk of people are one hard-drive crash away from losing all their data.

This makes me sad because owning music—especially whole albums w/ artwork—is something I cherish. But I'm pretty sure this makes me some combination of hipster and old man that is totally irrelevant to the future of the music marketplace.
Just to be clear - the story in the first paragraph is about royal jelly not honey. Royal jelly a totally different thing than honey: a bee glandular secretion rather than bee processed plant nectar [1].

However I doubt it should be given to infants either and would not base any health decisions on anecdotes like this no matter how appealing the narrative.

This is good advice, but I think it's more helpful (and less dangerous) to share personal experience than give blanket advice. "These things worked for me," is more useful than "These things will work for you."
If anyone has any statistics on this I'd like to see them. Obviously there are cases when warrants are misused but I am still of the belief that overall the government does not act with malice and overall does its work for legitimate reasons. I'd image that thousands of warrants are issued daily but do we know how many end up in gathering enough evidence for formal charges? I'd assume it's a fairly large percentage but I could be wrong.
Saying that objectivity I missing from someone that wonders about a social function in an economic vehicle, is IMO a straw man argument. It isn't like the current capitalist economic model is the only true and objectively correct path for society.

First of all, you're just plain fucking awesome you don't know it yet. I feel like I've meet the exact same people who aren't welcoming to people who are new and learning. The solution is simple, leave and find a different set of people/meetup. I've gone for meetups that are plainly a bunch of people in suits looking to make money of someone else's idea, and I've never returned again. Be courteous and leave, because they aren't looking out for any else's interest except their own.

I just got back from a hackathon myself, and I was lucky enough to meet a majority of people that were just excited to met others and learn new things. Look for people similar to yourself in those situations and try to start with small amounts of positive "what if?" questions to yourself when you get questions like that OR teach yourself to plain ignore that memory of your interactions with those people - it's not worth your time caring about it.

Good luck and hope to hear more from you!
Money laundering potential is a particular problem for bookmakers, that's true. The big name ones really don't want bad press, though, which I imagine is where most of the social responsibility stuff comes in (as well as trying to protect problematic people from themselves).
iTunes Match includes iTunes Radio, which is Apple's streaming offering.

I just canceled auto-renew and wouldn't touch iTunes Match ever again even if they paid me $100 a year. Match was nothing but headaches for me, there are mounds of complaint-filled threads on Apple's forums about all the bugs with the service (one favorite was that it just randomly fails to match and doesn't upload about 25% of your library). For example, I disabled Match on my phone, went back to good ol' syncing, and tried to sync a couple albums over. 24 hours later I'd reinstalled iOS 8 from scratch twice due to syncs failing, Match automagically re-enabling itself and filling my phone's disk with unremovable corrupted data...so much rage.

Apple just needs to stay out of the online services game. There's a saying: figure out what you're bad at, and don't do that. Somebody needs to send Apple the memo.
Thirded. One of the symptoms of depression for me is anger; if I miss a few days of paroxetine, my temper starts resurfacing. With it, it's possible to notice that I actually have a personality.
At face value, I don't see why this should necessarily be the case. That is, why would a tab "barf its data all over the heap?" More directly, why couldn't, as the sibling said, this have been addressed with a different allocation mechanism.

I'm assuming this has come up a fair bit. Any good links to read up on this?
Also, the British have named a bunch of ships "Nimrod" in centuries past. I think the name has a bit of dignity because of that.
Yes, you're right. Depression is more common than AIDS, cancer, and diabetes combined; and nearly 400,000 people attempt suicide in the US every single year. Those are only the cases medically documented. Depression and suicide are more prevalent in high socioeconomic environments and nations with higher quality of life. Depression is actually more likely to make you an insider than an outsider.

This author fixates on his local software developer and entrepreneur peers (depression can make it difficult to perceive interpersonal interactions objectively) but what he doesn't realize about them is that if you're lucky enough to be born in a country where you can pursue software and entrepreneurship as a teenager (especially in a world-class city full of opportunities like Boston where he lives now) you're MORE likely to be depressed or suicidal than the majority of the world's population who could only dream of having the life and access he has. They experience the same thing, and he is far from alone.

Sounds interesting! If you come to use the library and have any thoughts or features requirements please post them on the issue tracker.

On another note I suppose, the choice of the interface for a boxing simulator to be cli client is really good for prototyping and is sweet for terminal power users.
I got the option to enable this the last time my Nightly installation was updated. It's been working well so far, but plugins are leaving a lot to be desired. On OS X Yosemite, full screen flash video will make the entire browser crash with the tab. On OS X Mavericks, it looks like the native Firefox PDF viewer is no longer available, and the adobe plugin was not working at all in its place.

I'm excited about e10s though, I think this is definitely the right way to go for all browsers!
I'm not complaining about how primitive it is. I'm complaining about using buzzword when at the end it is just a random network disguised in a brain structure (and I'm just talking about geometry).

I hope so. It is really terrible when music libraries get large. Its browsing model just doesn't handle large libraries or library catalogs well. Just upgrading the library, version to version takes me 30+ minutes at this point.
It somewhat depends on what you think of as a neural network. For simple models no, state is vary important, as is signaling delays, hormones, and blood flow etc. Which means each neuron would individual be far more complex than what is generally used in computer science. Further brains are far from random so you would need to either copy someone or simulate the various developmental stages a person goes though. Finally, a neural network is pointless without some output so for anything beyond pretty pictures you need some sensory input's and some way to handle outputs.

However, I have seen estimates that somewhere around a yottahert class computer working for a few years might be capable of simulating a brain sufficiently complex to hold an arbitrary conversation. Building the software capable of running such a simulation is another story.
I've always found opinions on this movie a bit baffling.

While it's far from a bad movie, it's never been clear to me why so many consider it one of the best movies (or the best movie) of all time.

Sometimes I wonder if it's an example of an "acceptable collective opinion," the sort of thing people half believe and say without really thinking too deeply as part of natural instinct towards social integration.
Well it's thresholded so you could visualize the "activated" neurons in a manner such as this.

Would it be useful though? Maybe. Probably not as the fact that a neuron fires isn't nearly as useful as why it fired (what it represents).

But I like that you mention time. It always seemed odd that NN's today completely ignore that aspect. Sure whether a neuron fires is binary. But the accumulation of spikes is not binary and highly temporal. yet we completely ignore this aspect.
Honest question: What are these sites actually for?

I mean, they look all swishy as a static image, but real user interfaces are written with code and mark-up and standard controls. None of the themes I looked at seemed to come as anything more flexible than PSD files. So apart from visual designers showing off their Photoshop skills, who actually uses these for anything?

The OP actually has an extraordinary amount of what psychiatrists call "insight" concerning his condition. That is to say, he is not only depressed, but knows he is.

It might sound utterly implausible that someone could be clinically depressed and not know it, but I think that's the more common circumstance. People experiencing depression very often can't see that depression is the problem. They think the reason they feel worthless is because they're worthless; the reason they're listless is because they're lazy; the reason they don't want to be around people (when they normally would) is because people don't like them.

So to be able to put a name to this -- to say, "Wait. This isn't right. None of this is normal" is huge step forward. Same goes for mania (which can make you feel euphoric or angry and irritable).

Some never get to the point of realizing that there's something wrong and it's not their fault (any more than having asthma would be their fault). And some of those people die from this potentially deadly illness.
My life follows exactly your first two paragraphs (except for the working for Apple part).

And then Spotify started pulling albums randomly, probably due to rights reason (I'm an expat so like to listen to niche/indie music from my home country), so in the past year or two I've gone back to owning my music. It's much, much better.

I do use iTunes Match, which I find fantastic to be able to listen to any of my music on the go without having to sacrifice storage space.

The story is the same with Netflix, which I used to use exclusively, but their selection has been dwindling in the recent years and now I'm back to hoarding my favorite shows/movies on hard drives.
I was hoping they will rebrand iTunes into Beats, iTunes feels really tired as a brand. Beats is fresh. But I guess I was wrong, let's see what they will come up with. All new iTunes with curated playlists would also be great.

A minor amount of Snow Crash (the book in which the term is coined) is dedicated to descriptions of the team that built the Metaverse "protocol." It actually was software purpose-built to drive this kind of distributed VR experience, rather than a simple visualization of the Internet as it existed.

William Gibson's "Matrix" from Neuromancer was more of a visualization of data as it flew about a virtual world, doing whatever it is data does when you watch it. Certain servers are protected by layers of "ice," which you have to "drill" through in order to gain access, etc.
