>> "Tapbots has been pretty successful at building up and using their own non-native aesthetics. They're completely insane though, their attention to detail is even higher than the platform's."

Tapbots has a certain aethetic. But take Tweetbot for example. It uses a navigation bar. It uses a tab bar. It uses a vertically scrolling table view. Tapping a table cell brings you to the next view with same animation every other iOS app uses and the back button is in the top left of the navigation bar like every other iOS app. Design is more than looks. They have made it look great and unique whilst making things work in a way users are familiar with.
> It's also worth noting that sites only look "bootstrappy" to developers. Among the general public and user base, they just want a site that looks decent enough and functions well across devices, which is what bootstrap offers.

This is the key point: it's all about your users. Most people out there in the real world just want something that looks decent and works reasonably well. They don't know and don't care whether your site was made with Bootstrap or uses Erlang or whatever.
If you don’t have big places to buy electronics, a trip to one of the Fry Electronics stores would be a nice diversion. If they are shopping for bits and pieces of electronics, Weird Stuff or HSC would also be a possibility.

San Francisco public library main branch has a massive computer/technology section. (if you get a library card you can check out e-books)

If you re interested in engineering and a little hiking the SF streets the cable car museum is cool (corner of Mason and Washington).

If you are into games and mechanical amusement Muse Mechanique at pier 45 next to (Fisherman's Wharf) is something to see. Exploratorium is also in the area there.
Bootstrap is fine, but I've moved to PureCSS because it's smaller and is a lot closer to doing just what I need and nothing more.

Neither option is completely perfect, but I skew towards wanting smaller frameworks that do just what I need.
I think leaded fuel, which most European countries banned around the same time that the US did, will overpower the effects of lead-based paint. There have been findings that the murder rate is closely correlated with the total amount of environmental lead from 21 years earlier[1].

I get my news about China from journalistic sources all over the world (including China's state-controlled press) but especially from the many Chinese people I know, with whom I can converse and correspond in Chinese.

AFTER EDIT: It would be interesting to me and might help me learn something if I heard from a reader about what could be objectionable about this comment, especially because I was responding to another reader's assumption that I only get news from United States sources (which has not been true about news from China, for me, since I began studying Chinese in 1975).
... and then it's a short step to adding multiple dispatch in a clean way.

I'm pretty sure that's not what Bjarne has in mind, though.
That's not the fault of bootstrap, it's the fault of developers. They're taking the easy way out by using bootstrap to easily create a mobile site and they won't even take the time to do a little customisation to make it work correctly with their content. They could easily disable the responsive features. It's lazy development.
Yes, this would be referring to Xamarin.Forms. It's a slick concept and I've been coding in it a bit but still should be considered 'beta' in a lot of regards at this point.
At my company I wrote our internal front-end testing tool (based on the awesome nightwatch.js[1]). We do unit testing with Chrome, Firefox, IE and Phantomjs, but we also grab screenshots at a variety of resolutions, checking all the links and images (not just for working-ness, but also for content), web font rendering, recording performance API data, and more. From their feature list I'd guess bughunt.io is planning something quite similar. This is just an MVP. It's an interesting idea.

The Raspberry Pi is intended for a different use - it's comparing apples to oranges.

The Edison is intended for embedded applications - it has no display support built in (like DVI/HDMI), less USB support, and less "plug-and-play" ports.

SparkFun did a great write-up on unfair comparisons between the two platforms:

So this becomes "You are not paying, so you are the product" with a twist. As the premium plan gets cheaper, the more friends you invite, the saying goes something like this:

Wikipedia[1] lists the U.S. phaseout as having completed in 1995. Some of the countries mentioned in the BBC article are phasing out leaded gasoline: Algeria in 2014, Iraq in 2015.

I wonder why it's still even called "unleaded" in the U.S. when you can't even buy leaded gasoline anymore. Maybe it should just be called gasoline or better yet, petrol. The commonly used term "gas" is confusing because Americans use it to refer to liquid refined petroleum fuel i.e. gasoline, yet also to refer to gaseous substances that include methane and other fossil fuels.

Go talk to a professor in applied math department. Explore the following - how many additional credits would it take to add applied math as a minor? Or, as a second major? Also inquire about whether you could get admitted into a grad program directly from the CS major, or would you need to take a bunch of prerequisite classes?

Also, are you thinking of taking grad school all the way to a PhD? what do you envision doing with applied math? Heading into academia as a professor or out into the commercial/industrial world?

The answers to each of these should help you make decisions.

If it were me... I would complete the CS degree and a minor in applied math. I would get into the workforce and put these skills to use in the most demanding job I can find. After a couple years of "seasoning" and finding out what you really enjoy and what you think is missing in your education then apply to grad school in an appropriate degree.

By the way, figure out how to manage yourself and build a network for freelance/consulting work and you will be able to easily work your way through grad school by working 15-20 hours a week and not take student loans.
I think the author hits some of the major generic reasons to not use any framework:

1. Steep learning curve

2. Technical debt from learning curve

3. Technical debt from code bloat

3. Increased difficulty implementing unique features

But there are others that are even more important. One is that frameworks are often used to avoid learning the underlying technology that is more powerful, universal, and portable. It is falsely believed that time can be saved learning a framework instead of core coding skills. I have not seen any evidence that this is true, but like all snake oil, people believe because they want it to be true.

Did you read the part of the article about forcing serialisation of a parallel task by using hash chaining?

That seems to provide a good way of making the encryption process fast but decryption very slow.
I haven't tried it (not in the market for it).

You typically need an "Edison Block" (like an Ardunino Shield) to connect to things, see e.g. SparkFun's portfolio at <https://www.sparkfun.com/categories/272/>.

Not sure how power is applied, it's not as obvious as for the Arduino (since the Edison is more highly integrated and more designed to be built into products than to be directly fiddled with, I guess).
There's some no-true-Scotsman going on there. If one defines anywhere with more poverty than the US as not western, then by definition the US will have the most poverty of western societies.

Even though I'm more interested in the technology than the rivalries, some of the changes have seemed unsportsmanlike, and I don't care for that. I'm definitely in the minority, but I think the change to hybrid engines and the revival of turbos is cool. Screaming V-12's are thrilling, but it's one of the few changes that have allowed them to advance technology other than aerodynamics, and hearing the tires slip is interesting.
Sure, but I (and most of the hackers I know) use the Raspberry Pi like an Edison (i.e. only Wifi connected to USB, headless/SSH only, GPIO pins), so the Edison would be a better fit for my projects, if I could figure out how it works.

As the SparkFun article mentions, with the cost of the Wifi, powered hub, cables, SD card, and Bluetooth adapter add up. The Raspberry Pi is meant as a low-cost teaching computer, whereas what I want is a SoC to hack on.

Maybe it's as simple as programming it with the board and then detaching it and powering it.
I use Bootstrap because I found this gem:

https://kristopolous.github.io/BOOTSTRA.386/

Now the spots where I use it look almost exactly like old-school MS-DOS! Which, for what I use it for, is exactly the look I wanted.

In this, as in all classification schemes, there is a real risk of falling into a "dropping FN will raise FP" category error. The core issue may be be that your algorithm is bad, and you can find another with bother better FN and better FP.
See, that's where I don't get what Edison is about.

If I want a SoC capable of doing low cost user-interface type embedded tasks I need parallel LCD support (or at least LVDS). I'd get an NXP LPC18/40 or an STM32 at the low end or an i.MX5/6 at the high end. Way cheaper with way better application support.

If I wanted to do IoT sensing/reporting, this whole thing is just overkill. Again, a low cost LPC or STM coupled with a GainSpan or TI radio module (that I can bake directly to my PCB). To me, and I could be wrong here, IoT isn't about putting 500 MHz computing resources at the nodes and certainly not for a $75 BOM adder.

At least the LPC and STM are chips I can put directly down on my board and run out of the box. An SOM with a single-sourced connector (and Hirose is notorious for designing unique stuff nobody else wants to duplicate) is just commercial suicide.

I think allowing recharging would be cool. Using Formula E as a R&D test bed for refuelling commercial electric vehicles would be awesome. I hope they head that direction in the future. I understand the current season is very much a proof-of-concept / booststrap season, but once there are multiple manufacturers I hope to see stuff like this happen.

Some people are sayint this is extremely non idiomatic python. I think most of the problem is not following the style guides. Here's a pep8 compliant solution that is a bit more idomatic, and almost as compact.

In Python, the way to do pattern matching is with dictionaries of functions.

fizz_buzz = {(True, True): lambda x: "Fizzbuzz",
(True, False): lambda x: "Fizz",
(False, True): lambda x: "Buzz",
(False, False): lambda x: x}

for i in range(1, 30):
fbsign = (i % 3 == 0, i % 5 == 0)
print(fizz_buzz[fbsign](i))
and only permit me to view it through a thin terminal when showing the proper credentials.

Yes, which is why I wrote it's not DRM if you're not trying to protect data from the user itself. In that case, you are.

I'm using it to stop people with access to the server from being able to open certain files even if they somehow break other security features which should prevent them from even getting access to the bits. I'm not sure how much more DRM you can get than stopping people from viewing content unless they show their credentials to prove they're an authorized user.

I'm using the UNIX filesystem permissions for that. Is UNIX DRM now?

As far as I know, DRM as a term arose to describe the technologies that tried to allow the user to view the content while preventing him/her from copying it.

You seem to have an ideological need to call DRM bad in all cases and tell me how every other use of DRM is not "True DRM!"

No, I'm just trying to make sense of the fact that people are using a term in a different way than I've always seen it used, and which happens to be (in my opinion) much less useful, since it turns any authorization layer into "DRM".

I don't think batteries are even necessary. They could easily get electricity from a sort of catenary or even wireless ground loops. These aren't daily commuter cars. It's not required that they carry the energy onboard.

Now if the battery research that goes into Formula E trickles down to commuter models than that would be a benefit.
That's still a decent time investment, also in league you don't even have access to all the heroes without a huge time/money investment, everything other than player skill is even in dota.
Yes, you are right. But the distinction that should divide trolls from non-trolls (at least, as much, as the big corporations wanted) was mainly, if a company produces something related to the patent. And that is in my opinion the worst classification you can find (it is handy of course for the big corporations).

This link is very informative with regards to lead paint, it wasn't some corporate abuse, there were compelling reasons to use lead paint and hence it was accepted. It even notes that it was rarely found in interior paints by the forties, it persisted in outdoor paints because it could withstand the elements.

That strength was why it was used in the first place, you could wash it and the concerns of that age were communicable diseases that were slowed or prevented by washing, which the previous interior covering being wallpaper was not so durable and was suspected of easily harboring disease through pores and the glue.

Top it off with the US Government basically telling you to use it. Many of the health concerns for lead use were only seen as manufacturing dangers, end products were not considered unsafe.

DRM is Digital Rights Management, there is nothing in the name about being used against a specific group of people.

No, but we had those systems before, we just call it "security" and "authorization layer". DRM arose, as far as I know, to describe copy-protection mechanisms like SecuROM.

They've unintrntionally established a colloquial definition that is actually quite distant from the textbook definition through their abuse. I argue the same has happened to DRM.

Maybe so, but then I never got the original definition, and I don't understand why there was the need for a new term when authorization layers are old as dirt.

It must just be a matter of familiarity. Rust's pattern matching is quite similar to other languages with pattern matching.

For example in OCaml the match statement would be:

match ( i mod 3, i mod 5) with
| (0,0) -> Printf.printf "Fizzbuzz"
| (0,_) -> Printf.printf "Fizz"
| (_,0) -> Printf.printf "buzz"
| (_,_) -> Printf.printf "%d" i

Other than the irrelevant syntax bits like 'with', the semantics are identical, in order matching with no fall through, and _ for unnamed and unused bindings.

To me with very limited experience in it, Rust really feels like OCaml with a skin that C programmers will understand.
(Late response, sorry.) It may not be proper to say this, but if you look at 加, to me it's clearly the 力 radical + the 口 radical. I know that officially it's classified under 力. wwwjdic has a tool based around my observation, called multi-radical lookup: http://www.edrdg.org/cgi-bin/wwwjdic/wwwjdic?1R

Sometimes it won't include one of the radicals that are clearly there, though. But this tool is frequently helpful to me when IME pads fail me, and stroke counts are fuzzy.

Many of the Go core contributors and well known to hold that frameworks present an unhealthy inversion of control compared to libraries. The standard library reflects this, for example as "net/http" is very much a library and works very different from applications using IIS or Apache. Many of the earliest gophers hold this position as well. I have been writing Go professionally since before Go 1.0 and I think saying "frameworks are NOT frowned upon in Go" is very much out of touch with the longest standing members of the Go community. I personally think there are cases for frameworks, but that they are few and far between.
