> What are you doing where being able to hotplug keyboards frequently is a "pretty significant benefit"? If you are working with multiple servers a KVM switch is a better solution.

People trip over cables, and PS/2 plugs liked to disconnect much more easily than USB; you could unplug your keyboard by accident while doing something that moves cables (e.g. using a mouse).

I don't think there's a concept of a "hub" over Bluetooth. However, I don't see why a malicious speaker couldn't report itself as a keyboard. But then your speaker wouldn't work, so you'd know something was up.

I was considering that model but ended up getting a T440s, a lot because of the brainfart they had when designing the area around backspace/enter. Being used to European keyboards, I can not see myself ever getting used to that layout.

Not that I'm not satisfied with my T440s, though :)
I'm not saying such an effect doesn't exist. I'm saying the statement "The fact is people dont react when someone need help in the street/metro. " is patently false. There are many many more anecdotes where people do help. In fact, I havent read one anecdote where this device would have changed anything. It seems to me that most of the deadly delay is caused by shock and fear more than anything else.

Feel free to provide me a study where they actually conducted scientifically rigorous tests in public and not just a few guys in a test room. I'd like to see the actual percentage of failures to assist and I'd like to see evidence where this device helps at all. For all we know it could hinder matters, though I would suspect not.

Revsys put out a nice Django cheatsheet a while back. I don't think it's been updated since 1.5, but I've used it when I'm starting a new Django project for the first time in a while.

I find it helpful for reminding me of things I've used before, but not often enough to remember the exact syntax off the top of my head.

The point of this article is that they need equal emphasis. If you don't know why you're using a certain formula, you're missing half the picture, but you're still going to be able to solve problems faster than someone who has to redo the derivation every time they see a problem.

In professional life (as a programmer), it's very valuable to be able to look at a problem and think 'hash table!' before even fully understanding what sort of problem I'm approaching. I can get things done a lot faster because I've practiced my algorithms and data structures and I have strong intuitions for where each is useful.

At the same time, having a well explained, fundamental understanding of how everything works is critical to innovation. If you're staring at a problem that nobody has ever been able to sovle before, it means that the general basket of tools isn't going to help, because if it would somebody would have already solved it.

The point of this article is that both styles of learning are critical, but America has largely thrown one of them out the door.
I agree, in its current form I don't have any issues regarding bugs or stability, but assuming Yosemite support will be needed some time soon, as well as potentially a Mac App Store integration.

Other than that, I'd say it's a good candidate for a 1.0.0 release, so I'm not sure exactly what the need for $20k is, unless it's to reimburse for time already spent?
Nice visualization, but could've been better.

My major gripe is those small round icons. If they had conveyed something useful, say a brand name (L for lenovo, T for Toshiba and so on) that would've been useful.
Second, there's no scale. If a scale is tough to fit, at least the plot area could've been split into color-coded regions.
Get rid of tabs and you have IE6 again.
If you are a kind and pleasant person to be around, you will find kind and pleasant people who want to be friends with you. Other people may still not want to, but you can ignore them. The important thing is to find the right kinds of friends for you. They might not be what you expect at first, so don't turn away anyone. Be kind and pleasant and people naturally will want to be around you.

Oh since you are in school I'll assume you are early 20's. The above advice becomes more true as you get older.
You have a good point, but I think the author was making the case that a conceptual understanding AND memorization/repetition are required to make the learning stick. I don't see a case for not explaining concepts, but a caution to not go too far the other way. And I saw repetition as being more important than memorization. That by repeating the application of your understanding of some concept, as being the key to making it stick.

The prospect is not of course to get rid of the ability to have multiple web pages opened at the same time and rapidly switch from one to another.

You handle this by modeling the account as a ledger with immutable entries containing unique identifiers rather than a single mutable balance. The ledger entries are facts. The balance is a derived computation. Only store facts, not derived computations.

(At some point for efficiency reasons you might need to prune the transactions, but this often involves trade-offs like not allowing any new "lost" transactions older than date X.)
"Annoyed"? Just don't use them then - like seriously, what difference does it make? How does getting rid of tabs make the browser "more intuitive"?

I just use tree style tabs in addition to Vimperator on Firefox.
No thanks.. If it's not tabs then it's multiple windows that I have to be "ALT+Tab"ing into constantly.
Say you have your own hardware, what would you need to access the display and keyboard securely remotely over the network? Are there such devices available? I imagine you can have the OS disable its display and keyboard input after boot for added security, and lock down the boot process, but it still seems like it's hard to do this securely. I'm trying to think of a scenario where you can have:

1) Full Disk Encryption

2) Two physical machines owned by you, perhaps stored in some basement

3) Be able to boot them back on without physical access (perhaps this is simply a Bad Idea?)

4) One machine with two NICs running Tor, exposing only Tor to one of the NICs

5) The other machine running a VM host with 1 VM for each of your services. The host is connected to the NIC of the first machine, thus only has access to the internet through Tor
I haven't heard anything regarding his alleged hit since he was originally arrested. It's also not one of the formal charges brought against him, which is odd because it's significantly more damning than running a marketplace for drugs.

Well you can't live in a mono-page environment. You necessarily need to rapidly switch between web-pages (if not having some running in the background (music)). The question is whether people think that there is a better experience out there.

Any opinion on that?

Why do the people vote for judges that will sit quiet whilst someone provably lies in court?

Most voters don't have information about such incidents or enough time to crawl through court records looking for that information. Actually, in judicial elections, most voters don't even have anyone else to vote for.

I like Macports a lot more. I've never had an issue with any of the packages really besides a few esoteric ones that failed to build or hadn't been updated in a while (and they are usually easy to by updating the portfile). I prefer the segregated environment of macports too, you won't overwrite any system stuff. I got the impression that homebrew wasn't a terribly well thought out tool and was a bit lazy. There's a lot of 'github' culture there which I'm wary of (and by github culture I mean half finished stuff and fancy looking projects lacking rigor). Case in point, it annoys me that their slogan is 'the missing package manager for OSX'. Macports had been around long before they were. I only sometimes wish that Macports had better binary package support.
the best I've read since a long time!!
What do you mean "and would love not to have to manually close"? What's the difference between hitting cmd-w as opposed cmd-q?

I remember when tabs hit the browsers (a zillion years ago) - it was revolutionary! Suddenly you had one docked window rather than a zillion windows all over the place. To me they are a god-send.

Originally there was an option in Firefox to turn them off - I wouldn't be surprised if that option is still there.
I'd really like to be able to split the browser window (in addition to tabs).

A window manager will let you do that won't it?
As we move programs we use into the browser, window managers become less important. But we also lose some functionality offered by window managers. Maybe the "next browser" will be so intrinsically attached into your OS window manager there will be virtually not difference between an installed application and a website, their windows will behave the same way.

Slack.app may be an example of how browsers will work in the future.
I like that a lot as well. But I feel like the tabs themself how organized they are are just becoming a waste of time.

Is there a different model that you'd want to use?
We really need Web Apps in windows with a dock icon, no tabs etc, and websites into tabs as they are now.

Pinned sites in IE kinda does this, saving websites on your home screen on iOS or on Android kinda does this, and ChromeOS kinda does this, but I agree, it's not quite there yet.
> The question is whether people think that there is a better experience out there.

You might consider rewording your poll. As it reads, it more seems as though you're asking if people would rather have a browser with tabs or without tabs, as opposed to asking if people think tabs is the best user interface option to deal with having multiple pages open.
> Hardly surprising the organisations that employ them feel they're above the law.

The U.S. Army feels that it is above the law?
Awesome. Lots of more things necessary, of course. My initial requirements are:

nvidia gtx 870

>= 256gb SSD

>= 12gb ram

After that there are a few things I look for. Size, resolution, weight, etc. But those first three are my starting requirements.
That's not what you originally asked though, you have some poorly-defined problem with tabs and asked the community if we'd like to ditch them. You didn't even mention replacing tabs with a better paradigm.
Is remote available for non-US applicants?
Google created GWT which uses every trick under the sun to reduce connection counts. I use it on my sites and if you don't let your web property devolve into a bolt-on JS mire (as many large sites do, i.e. Borders recently made 248 requests to load), you can load the page/app in 4 requests.

(1) index.html,
(2) app.nocache.js
(3) A56284CFC0D680C7DBA0F93CA9AE8F75.cache.js (cache fragment for given page/state)
(4) XHR for page data/state to display

Now, if you've got some CSS and minor images/fonts, these can be an your options request (5) resource bundle. On many Google properties, (2 and 5) are inlined into (1).

The take away? These technologies and frameworks have been out there for a long time (8 years in the case of GWT), so you don't have to make hundreds of requests if you're disciplined. I can only assume Google has thrown in the towel trying to get script kiddies to ever be disciplined.

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but judges are not voted in. At least, I know that supreme court justices are not and I assume other positions are done the same way. US judges are elected by politicians (Supreme Court justices being elected by the president, although Congress can veto that decision).
Part of the beauty of modern browsers is the ability to very easily add extensions to fit your personal workflow.

Tabs work well for most; if regular tabs aren't for you, try Quick Tabs (Chrome) or the variety of add-ons which can add Spotlight-like tab search or shortcut keys to favorite or recently used tabs. If your needs are still more specific, write your own! :)
Selling BTC manually on some exchange?

Yeah, Straight exposes the merchant to a lot of currency risk. It's probably only appropriate for merchants who also want to invest in BTC.
On a recent 'Guide to living in DC', an editorial noted how awkward it is to go to a beer garden. If you go to meet one other person, you can either try to sit right next to each other, or across from each other. Across is ideal, but then "you have to share elbow space with a stranger."

The dining and lounge cars in a train are about the only place left for city-slickers in American society where it's not a social faux pas to intentionally interact with a stranger. On elevators, in subways, on buses, even at many bars, you're supposed to mind your own business. But on the train, you have nowhere to go and nothing to do. Faced with the barren reality of the situation, people seem to finally lower their guard and just be humans, and do what humans are naturally apt to do: share an experience. It's so tragically sad that we've bred ourselves to have to be forced like cattle into a metal box hurtling across the countryside just to engage in scenarios and people foreign to us.
Even better scenario: (but I'm not sure if possible)
Malware is downloaded from the net. It hijacks one of the usb HIDs. It than removes itself from the system and once every few hours sends something like lsusb | grep "ID: hackable" > /dev/emulated/and/spoofed/sound/card
when the data is received by the spoofed sound card, hacked HID turns on network emulation. It then sends commands to change routing so it could download needed, hacked firmware to a local disk. It infects the newly inserted, hackable device, and goes back to sleep.

Possible? I hope not.
I find it difficult to answer the question without some idea of what the "better experience" might be. Tabs are the best idea anyone's offered me so far, and I have no better idea off the top of my head, so I'm happy to use them. Show me an alternative implementation that I love, and I'll happily abandon tabs. Conversely, show me an alternative implementation that doesn't address my needs as well, and I will stick to tabs.
tabs have got to stay.

However, I have a similar issue of always needing quick access to a few key web applications (trello, our build server, etc...), that I really want to be logically separate from the rest of my browser somehow. My solution so far has been to use http://fluidapp.com for the things I really want to exist on their own rather than just as a browser tab.
Since the company does it at the OS level it is still vulnerable to the "boot-loader" attack.

Many to Many Joins with Ecto and Elixir
Yep, I think so. My philosophy, at least, is that any idea can eventually be intuitive, no matter how difficult at first, if we find the right analogies.

I see any exponent like a^b as starting at 1.0, intending to apply a rate of change of (a), but modifying that rate by (b).

For example, 3^2 is an initial rate of change of 3x, which is then applied for 2 units of time [leading to 9]. So, 1.0 would turn into 9.0.

More here: http://betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-exponents-...

So what's i^i?

Well, our rate of change is "i", which means we plan on starting at 1.0 and having our rate of change be a rotation: 1.0 * i = 90 degrees on the unit circle.

If we are using i^i, that means we are rotating our rate of change. That is, we intended to rotate around the unit circle at 90 degrees, but now I'm going to turn the "rocket boost" which is applying that rotation by another 90 degrees (the i as the exponent). This means the rocket is facing 180 degrees (backwards) and our growth is going to be an exponential decay. We'll be on the real number line, but shrinking.

How about (i^i)^i? That's another 90-degree twist on the rocket, so it's pointing 270 (downward) and we'll rotate around the circle clockwise. It's probably a negative imaginary number, and (i^i)^i actually equals -i.

This is a quick brain dump, and not very clear without diagrams, check out the articles above if you'd like!
Please forgive an ignorant idiot here.

What stops the OS implementing something that says "until you prove you're a keyboard, you can't type anything"? Something like the authorisation screen for Bluetooth keyboards.

Maybe some people are built to live through physical activity. I also function better when my body is under the right amount of pressure.

yes, you take it past year 3 or 4. you get half a million bucks, a million bucks in the bank during the first years, and then you start spending it on real things. sometimes your cash dips. sometimes you bolster it with a good few months. however, you can't spend it all - you need capital. you need a reasonable amount of debt you can service.

when the bank sees this, they will flip the fuck out. but someone with experience in your industry and a specific financial product designed to help you will know exactly what you're doing.

it's repeatable, it's scalable - however, it requires money to grow just like every other business. this isn't skating by on ultra thin margins with $50k in the bank - it's a business with significant cash that needs significantly more cash, and is willing to sacrifice margins in the short term to grow. and that's not what banks do (these days).

I am always amazed to hear how people live there.

When I went to university, I remember meeting a guy from Gaza at a house party. At first, it was a bit of shock, because all the sudden this very distant place, which had spawned countless debates in my government and international politics classes, stopped being quite so far and became very real. I imagine I asked all the typical questions for a foreigner, particularly one informed by US media outlets. However, like this article, the most interesting thing was talking about every day life. He and I traded stories from our high school days, going to parties, first concerts, dating. Reading this now, it things look things have gotten worse, but I will never forget that realization that all over the world, people are just people.

Good luck to these guys. Grinding in a startup isn't easy and I can't imagine doing it in a war zone helps.
