I think if you're the kind of user who just wants an editor that does things for you, you'd be better off sticking with what you have already chosen that satisfies your list of features. Deciding to use Emacs for its features is a bad reason.

If you're interested in Emacs for its extensibility then I would consider it a worthy investment. Go through the tutorial, find out how to query docs, extend keybindings and modes and things like that, and then I would recommend my Elisp programming guide: https://github.com/chrisdone/elisp-guide

There are of course more functional approaches to delaying execution of code in Javascript, e.g. by using a callback (which this library supports).
Do you use any certificate-related extensions? If not, you may want to install one that compares certs to those seen by others, just to see if anything interesting occurs. Also, check for any unexpected trusted CAs. I've seen a system infected by malware that adds a CA that was signed by a leaked Microsoft key.
Display media content for your web site or app with Magneticmediajs
Does this apply to other professional job markets?
Sweet Alert came up before and people made this same pedantic and unimaginative addition -- I honestly think this comment serves only to let everyone know that the commenter understands the Javascript execution model. That the thread stops while a native alert is shown is not quite a bug, but I'd argue not a desired feature either.

But given that window.alert has (apparently) two functions:

- Display a message to a user

- Block javascipt execution until a button is pressed

This is a great replacement for those who are using it for #1, which in my experience, is probably >99% of its usage in the wild. If you're using window.alert to, say, synchronize the beginning of an event with a user click this probably will work just fine too. If you need the world to stop until a button is pressed, I'd sooner guess that your application is written poorly.
Why not use WebRTC for streaming the video?
Magneticmediajs is a JavaScript jQuery based library that allows media content (images, videos, maps, HTML & more) to be displayed in a memorable way. It includes several unique features like a magnifying glass tool, greatly eases the task of working with social media platforms like Youtube or Instagram and is bundled with a documented API to control your media.
Does evolutionary theory need a rethink?
First, where would I carry this key? My phone is always with me, while my keys are not. (Yes, I know I could use the exercise to go get them when I am home, etc.). I also am not fond of attaching my entire keychain to the USB port of my laptop: I have broken several USB ports on older laptops this way. Taking the USB key off the keychain will inevitably result in me losing this small item (that's knowing me, not the same for everyone obviously).

Second, the GA-style 2FA works great because it's so easy to support and so many things support it. TFA mentions more browser support. Well, I use 2FA for more than just the web. For example, ssh supports it. I am all for this becoming a standard and being more widely adopted, but the security vs usability tradeoff for me here is just not worth it. With these physical tokens I get marginally better security than with the GA app, while giving me a much worse experience.
They pay upwards of $100k+ per year to have a seat on the board and direct the "standard" to suit their products.
As well as upower (though it still works with ConsoleKit as fallback, I think), udisks2, the Weston compositor and some other programs. Binary distros also have some pretty skewed dependency chains on systemd for packages where it's inessential.

It'll only grow, though. Most certainly.
There is a geometric way to solve this, requiring only graph paper and a straight edge.

If x is the number of chickens sold in the morning, and y is the number sold after lunch, then the straight line x+y=10 represents all possible values of x and y for the first farmer. Of course, this allows fractional chickens, so the true set of possible values is the set of points where x and y have integer values.

Now you can draw parallel lines to this first line for x+y=16 and x+y=26, representing valid x and y values for the second and third farmer.

Now, if you take any other line that intersects these 3 lines, then that line can be represented by the equation ax+by=35, for some value of a and b. The key observation then is that if we interpret a and b as the morning and afternoon prices respectively, then the points where this line intersects each of the 3 parallel lines represents the x and y values for each farmer such that that farmer's net earnings are $35.

So now the problem reduces to placing a straight edge on your paper and finding a line that passes through integer points on each of the 3 parallels.

This is pretty easy - start with the edge at (0,26) for farmer 3 and (1,15) for farmer 2 and see if it intersects the first line at an integer point - it doesn't. Keep going and you'll find a nice intersection at (0,26), (5,11) and (8,2). Unfortunately the corresponding prices don't round nicely to cents, but you can shift the entire line to the right to get the right answer: (1,25), (6,10) and (9,1), corresponding to prices of $3.75 and $1.25.
The primary bottleneck among most top-tier VCs is partner time and travelling is a huge time-sink. Hence why most VCs tend to focus over a relatively small areas.

If a VC is looking at investing in a startup in a location where they have no activity then they're going to have to do trips out just for that specific startup (for due diligence, board meetings, etc.) and they're also going to have a harder time providing value-add (lack of local contacts, etc.)

Hence for a startup outside of a cluster to be worthwhile it has to be significantly better than the local dealflow and the deal has to be of a significant size. So such deals are always likely to be a rarity.

(Having a founder who's already built and sold a billion dollar company also helps immensely; if you're in that small category of people you can probably raise money regardless of where you're based)
Conor McBride & friends have been working on Frank (here's a recent draft paper: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/slindley/papers/frankly-draft-...).

Frank's basically based on an extension of the CBPV calculus. As far as I know, Conor's also working on extending the core Frank calculus to the dependently-typed case, though this might take a bit.

Security Key, a simpler kind of two-factor authentication
Wow,you weren't kidding, that's unforgivably bad, especially for the "UX Gods" at Apple.
Wow, that's a lot easier than the OS-dependent Syscall6 crap with termios from the "real" solutions I've seen.
No, not really - if you're a MITM, you control what the user sees, as well as what gets sent to the device, and nothing prevents those 2 things being different.
You might SEE that you're sending $100 to Grandma, but when you tap the key, you're authenticating your entire bank balance to some place in the Bahamas.
I met the most interesting guy once. He was a professor at Columbia and a consultant for Wall Street, helping design UIs for traders.

He explained how we process and prioritize visual cues -- how, if an element expands equally to the left AND right of our field of vision, it gets highest priority because it resembles an object heading toward our face.

For that reason, he avoided this design for everything except the highest-priority events.

Not crapping on your library -- it looks really nice :) But in general, I think it's worth considering if it's necessary to demand users' attention all over the place. I think information overload isn't solely in the content we consume but how it's presented.
This is an eerily similar project to something posted a few weeks ago here. Most notably, the exact same "success" animation.

>>"Unlike the Benchmarks Game, we aren’t requiring all the test programs for the same language to be identical. This is a controversial rule..."<<

Benchmarks Game programs for the same language are not required to be identical. Wilfred Hughes has been asked to correct that misstatement.

>>"It’s also not clear how representative the test programs are of typical performance of that language."<<

Without sampling programs "in the wild" how could anyone possibly claim that other programs were "representative"?

This is just a clone for Bootstrap of the original SweetAlert.
The prototype I've seen requires that you tap it, which is a major step forward. And I believe that the spec allows it to show something like "google.com" if it had a screen.

This is true for any packages you use, not just Docker. For example, rails gems. If you don't pin them your app will break at some point on an update. Always manually update packages and test before deploying.

Indeed, I've went off on some anti-systemd rants, simply based on its design philsophy, but all I ever wanted was init-system flexibility. I'm just glad to see that Debian has went in the right direction with this, rather than enforced a lock-in as has been previously suggested and may be the case on many other distributions.

Unfortunately, the FIDO Alliance seems to have forgotten to specify CCID bindings for U2F (i.e. they left out the trivial part of the protocol that would describe how to talk to one of these tokens in a smart card slot or over NFC). The specs describe USB HID bindings.

ProjectHierarchy reinvents Java by fusing DB directly into language
No, it's just that asphalt isn't worth stealing.
I don't know. I like getting close to code, because I like thinking about the people that make each symbol, establish a meaning, weave that into a language, where it is either contextually derived or explicated clearly. I like watching those things change and I like figuring out why some things stay the same. I like selecting words for new concepts, which I am never really sure of whether these things are arbitrary. When I zoom out and generalize enough, everything shares the same fuzziness, these symbols are all puzzle pieces. But when I zoom in, each puzzle piece is the puzzle itself.

I grew up enjoying puzzles, logic puzzles, logic books, math books, piece puzzles, riddles, and all the supposedly clever things to that affect. The more involved I become in the world of programming though, I can't really say.

I have the time to study the complex math and computer science theory sometimes, on the weekend, for fun, and then the code I read through ranges from deeply personalized learning to clear, uniform specifications developed over time periods I have no actual experience understanding what goes on during those time periods. I know the importance behind many theories, and I understand how to apply these things. But I don't know why or how it grew.

If you want to see a puzzle pattern in code, you will see puzzles everywhere. You can see anything you want to in code, just like every other human creation. Make your own meaning and what not. Code is more art to me than 'Art' is.
It could have nothing to do with Amazon being petty. A coworker was complaining of the same thing, only the Chase card that isn't supported was some airline-branded card. The rest of his Chase cards are supported.
You are thinking locally. Nobody cares where Tesla or Toyota build their cars. Having your business located "in the largest economy" isn't a factor for a huge number of businesses.

Another way to put it is: You can build a massively successful business anywhere in the country. There is no particular magic in California in this regard. What is different here is that it cost more to simply exist in this state. And there's far more to it than wages at play.
Unlike usb drives though you don't need to leave this plugged in for more than a couple seconds, which greatly limits the danger of damaging your usb port.
I believe instead of multiplying the delta by W^t to backpropagate the error from layer l to l-1, you multiply it by a random projection B. It's hard to dig deeper because there doesn't appear to be any other information on it except here: http://isis-innovation.com/licence-details/accelerating-mach...

As an aside, are they really trying to patent a slight twist on backpropagation? That seems pretty counter-productive to me.

It looks like there are still reverse signals (eg., deltas), but they are multiplied by a random matrix B instead of the usual transpose of the weight matrix for that layer. Am I misunderstanding?

Another difference is that many people use the iPad as a secondary machine. They have their phone with them at all times. So if the iPad is a little sluggish at times, you won't be too bothered. But if your phone is being slow, you're gonna want to replace it right away. I think that factor, combined with the upgrade cycle, resulted in many people buying an iPad, and except for the really hardcore Apple fans, have just kept that same iPad up until today. Again this is all based on speculation, but from what I have seen from average iPad owners (not techies in the SF bubble) they are happy with their iPad 2/3 purchases even now.

Also don't forget to consider that when the time to upgrade an iPad comes up, you can decide not to upgrade it and wait until it's completely dead or whatever. With the iPhone, you can usually sell your 2 year old phone for at least $200 and use that for a free upgrade to the next model. Since most people are gonna keep their plans for that time frame anyway, it's stupid not to use the subsidy.
Concurrency with Actors, Goroutines and Ruby
Puzzles are a terrifically poor way of judging whether a candidate will be good at performing the most common form of programming there is: solving meaningful problems, often business or interface ones, in a simple and readable way. Your primary audience for this type of programming is other humans. I'll take a good writer over a puzzle-solver any day. Don't get discouraged if they aren't for you.

Then congratulations, you are a programmer!

Despite what you'll hear from people peddling various flavors of Kool-Aid, "programmer" isn't a personality type. It's a job description. If you program, you are a programmer, end of line, full stop. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
I dislike puzzles too. I guess because you're just finding the creator's predefined path, and it often feels like a pointless task. Programming is coming up with original solutions of your own, so I don't see the two as wholly related.
You've created a nice showpiece. However, it's still a horrible design trend, and it's probably the work user experience element I've seen used in recent years. This is the equivalent of the animated gifs of the 90's. Under construction and dancing baby being the most common. Adding distraction rather than focusing on content has never been a successful strategy, and I hope it never does.

It will course correct eventually. I'm hoping sooner.
You should do that anyway. Calling 911 from a mobile phone is likely to take you to a regional dispatch center, not your local police department [1].

I've called 911 twice from my mobile phone to report an accident I passed on the highway. Once nobody picked up, even after several attempts with perfect service. The second time I spoke to someone who obviously wasn't a 911 operator but assured me she'd pass my message to right people.

It depends on which AppStore country you are looking at. It would be believable in a country different than the US or UK. Being a developer myself, I really don't believe on that number. the developer might use a strategy to advertise to his app or getting notice.

Yes! There's a healthy community at comp.misc where we post stuff like this article, and sci.misc where we post non comp stuff.

We've actually experimented with jsmpeg for this type of thing. The problem we ran into was that jsmpeg seemed to require every frame from ffmpeg. If the browser or network slowed, the feed would fall behind the simulation, leading to several seconds of latency when interacting.

We'd love to use it and appreciate your hard work though. Do you have any ideas on how that problem can be solved?

they did. I went to such a school (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hb_woodlawn). It was a public 'magnet' or 'charter before the concept of charter' school.

My class was 70 students. Although being in Arlington meant "solidly middle class", among some notables (modestly achieved, not super-famous) from my graduating class (1999) include: Stephen Ridley, who is CEO of xipiter, the company making USB condoms which have been featured here. Fabian Bouthillette, former assistant to Gore Vidal and author of "Gore Vidal's last stand" (http://www.amazon.com/Gore-Vidals-Last-Stand-Initiation-eboo...), Adam Berninger founder of a advertisement and design firm, and Naomi Uyama, world champion swing dancer and band-leader.

Steven and Naomi got to where they were without finishing (or in Naomi's case ever going to) college, which is funny since H-B always was proud of its college matriculation rate.

5 entrepreneurs out of 70 isn't that bad, I think! (I'm 90% of the way to being "modestly achieved")

The problem isn't with him, it's with programmers who have an inflated view of how smart you have to be to be a programmer.

There are plenty of smart programmers, and there are plenty of problems that would benefit from smart programmers, but the vast majority of problems just need a spark of creativity and a lot of hard work from a person with a reasonable base of knowledge.

I think that modern ui design is being approached more like package (graphic) design. That is: when your product is displaying on shelves with ten similar products you need to make it flashier and more colorful, yet similar to everything else in the same category. All cereal package design looks similar, yet, everyone tries to outflash everyone else.

For some reason, we designers are still designing with this mentality.

I once heard a story from an old man, about wrestling at a small town school. He was in a very light weight class, such that when the school played matches against other schools, the opposing team might not even have anyone in his class. So rather than sit and watch, he wrestled above his weight class. Instead of seeking to win, sought to delay the pin as long as possible. So he practiced neck bridges, and developed the thickest neck on a skinny kid that you have ever seen. He took his own version of victory--namely that the heavier wrestler could not score a pin on him within the match time limit--from what might otherwise be considered defeat. There was no possibility of true victory, only the choice between aristeia--doing the best you possibly can--and resignation to defeat.

There was no expectation that anyone owed him a fair match. He just tackled the challenge before him to the best of his ability, and lost every time, until he finally won.

And now he has an interesting story to tell, for as long as he can keep the reaper from pinning him.
People tend to presume that everyone thinks the way do. In this case, everyone solves problems and thinks about programming the same way, right?

I've always had a more narrative approach to coding. Until I read some of the stuff Larry Wall (Perl) has written about how he thinks, I'd assumed I was a giant freak. Not at all.
