So the network has definitely potential but I think that the pay will be very very minimal, as the number of users but greatly increase the revenue through advertising can not even begin to keep up.

The first impressions were very good, it is nice designed simply and clearly. For this, just not quite as many features. You can not create groups or other but perhaps Tsu has also not at all before.

We certainly have a page on Tsu created where we post extraordinary art and designs. Since we have many followers, you will receive automatically by us money if you do register on our Tsulink. Conversely, of course, just as :)

"Not mentionned, about being an expert C programmer, is knowing the pitfalls of C, (cf. undefined behaviors)"

I am an expert in C, I had been decades writing on it and other languages, and managing teams of coders. We created a company that used it a lot.

I can't understand what undefined behaviors C has, because it is the most simple and defined language I do know of. I have lots of experience writing assembler,fortran, Lisp, c++, python, objective C and also use C#, java, javascript and other web languages and functional languages from time to time.

c++, java could be extremely undefined because the behavior depends on conventions, committees and implementations. E.g we had to change some code because of different compilers interpretation of the standars.

But c? c is basically portable assembler. If you understand how computers work it is extremely reliable bar none. We have ported years of work of dozen programmers in one day. With c++ and "write once, run everywhere marketing" java we spent months.

It was also terribly frustrating for the team. Fontforge author had a similar experience writing c++ compilers and that experience was so traumatic the interface of Fontforge is so ugly as he does not want to use c++ with a ten foot pole.

We try to avoid pitfalls more in high level languages because the programmer has the ability to write code without understanding what is really happening in the processor, or even in the program. Recipe programmers population is growing a lot this days.

Yes, the FFT/STFT[1] is generally invertible, potentially subject to knowing the parameters it was generated with, or finding some reference markers in the original input you could use to derive them.

There's also the possibility the spectrographic image itself might be a lossy representation of the actual frequency domain data, in which case you won't get a perfect result back out. Probably recognisable though.

If I had time I'd do some flubbing with octave/scipy and demonstrate it, but alas, the margins of this weekend are too small, etc, etc.

People fly 360 mph missiles around in the air above active airports all the time. Even more dangerously, they often sit in the missile while doing it. Something should be done.

edit - this looks like there is the edge of an airfield on the other side of some pylons. If it is near an active airfield, or if there is any controlled airspace in the vicinity, then I would be incredibly surprised if air traffic control was not kept informed as per the existing regulations.
We worked for a while on a car racetrack using tech like that in '99 (looking for alternative ways to use the webcam technology that would be monetizable). It's definitely an interesting idea and maybe flying is a big enough thrill to get people to actually do it, but you're going to have to deal with one major hassle: give assholes a continent away an opportunity to wreck your precious gear and you're going to have a very hard job keeping them out. The temptation to crash them on purpose would be very large if there are no real penalties attached to doing that. And a $5,000 security deposit is a bit of a limit on growth, and then of course there are non-intentional crashes.

Wouldn't Chairman/woman of the Board be more appropriate then? I agree with the parent that Chief Executive Officer is a bit funny when there is only one "executive officer" (like calling yourself "lead developer" when you're the only one) but there isn't really a better option.

Well, I think that theoretical guy would just be succeeding in a different industry than the one I happened to succeed in so far.

It's not like I didn't apply myself to anything, just not to schoolwork; except when I found a class interesting. As it turns out, the things I did apply myself to became my career rather than what I had gone to school for.

There's a large difference between "half assed four years of personal development" and simply concentrating more on things that are unrelated to your official studies.

In fact, one of the big reasons I'm striking out on my own (well, as part of a team) now is that I realized my day job was no longer providing me with nearly as much opportunity for personal development as it had during the first few years I worked there.

Edit: And the fact that it's entirely what you make of it isn't what's told to the 18 & 19 year olds heading off to college (at least not in the circle's I was in). What's told to kids is that it's the piece of paper that matters in today's society. Once you get it, you can do anything you want, but make sure you get that piece of paper or all opportunity will shut down for you forever and for always.

What causes these situations is the combined narrative that the piece of paper is what matters alongside the fact that getting that piece of paper is a highly gameable activity.
What an ass.

Guy is confused. New documents which are not explicitly saved to the local filesystem were already stored to iCloud on Mavericks.

None that I've ever read (but I also don't work for Google, so external docs only).

ART improves app load times, runtime performance, and reduces battery usage. That effect is somewhat amplified by AOT-ing services/APIs that apps rely on, so instead of just seeing the improvements within a single APK, you might see a single app-load improved by three or more APKs being AOT-ed.

Not that dissimilar from Ngen in the .Net/CLI world.

Intel won't benefit more (or less) than other architectures. They're both doing the same work, just doing it at a different point in time. So unless Intel or someone has developed a really awesome static analysis tool which just happens to be too slow to shove into the JIT pipeline, it shouldn't make a huge amount of difference (and I've read nothing about an Intel specific dex2oat).

As to legal: Most of Google's issues with Oracle have been resolved. They related to a bunch of Oracle's patents and something about the Java library. ART doesn't really change how anything works, you're still interpreting bytecode into local instructions, you're still using the same libraries, and even the whole workflow hasn't really changed. Just moved around WHEN stuff happens not WHAT happens.

So while IANAL, I don't know if how ART would be a legal maneuver. If anything it exposes them to additional patent liability as the process is more complicated and third parties could claim they "own" part of it.

Basically he says that files that were open but not explicitly saved by the user, were temporarily saved locally in ~/Library/Saved Application State/ but since updating to Yosemite, these are now all saved/uploaded to iCloud.
So all his temporary notes he open in TextEdit have been uploaded.
Good find. The fact that this is a KB article seems to confirm what a huge violation of customer trust this is - they know this violates the principle of least surprise.
Which is why people need to expose stuff like this from within their organisations. Like the op.
It's what killed Drupal for me (and many others). Frameworks should provide for either a porting tool or backwards compatibility between major versions. Otherwise you alienate the people that trusted your in the first place.

TextEdit used to auto save things to iCloud on Mavericks for me. No one made a big deal out of that.

I'm not sure it's about policing social status. To me, calling yourself "CEO" of a tiny startup reeks of self-aggrandizement, which is the sort of attitude that rubs me the wrong way.
On the other hand, you can "hide" the different code paths in a single algebraic statement, but even if your tests always execute that statement, you've lost information that you've actually tested the both "paths" of the algebraic statement.

I guess it's easier to use a boolean logic example (in JavaScript):

return myNormalObject || myDefaultObject();

Your code might always execute the myNormalObject half and return it, and even though your code coverage is 100% of the lines, your tests might miss myDefaultObject() code path.

Perhaps some code coverage tools can take this into consideration, though, but then you're back to the original problem..
As long as there are computer parts and open source software, you can still opt out if you want to.
While I agree that I definitely see this trend, this does not mean that this trend will end up winning. We have seen lots of horrible trends like this one and almost none of them survived.
From what I gather from the last paragraph of the story, they found out they were doing something they didn't really care about. If that was the case, then pivoting is the only right choice IMO.

Sometimes you just have to try something in order to find out whether it's working for you or not.
Hard to compare languages and frameworks in this respect. I think a better comparison is frameworks and operating systems. Imagine every major release of the linux kernel killing backwards compatibility with all older binaries and software written.
> and apparently I'm never going to understand Haskell

I found this introduction to the concepts of functional programming (functional composition) to be useful:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhuHCtR3xq8

Otherwise, it's just a different way of thinking about problems. Instead of building things structurally as an object of objects, and then creating functions that relate, transform, or describe the relationships between the object structures (like taking a pixel object, altering it's x coordinate, and returning the new pixel object with only the x coordinate altered), one has functions that can be composed with other functions to produce more complex object structures. A single base unit with a sequence of functional compositions can describe a very fancy, complex unit, with many fancy, complex characteristics.

>> Monads have also been explained with a physical metaphor as assembly lines, where a conveyor belt transports data between functional units that transform it one step at a time.[2] They can also be seen as a functional design pattern to build generic types.[3]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_%28functional_programming...

Otherwise, it's syntax and semantics, which I generally find annoying, but there's always google and books.

What does he refer to himself as?

Probably plumber - but what's the equivalent for a CEO? Head of Sales? Lead Developer? General Manager? The CEO's duties (at a startup) will vary from startup to startup. [I'm not disagreeing with you - I'm just not sure there's a better option]

For continuity to work, it should be obvious that what you are working on must be stored somewhere other than the machine you have turned off. The obvious place is on iCloud. Just do not enable continuity if you do not want to enjoy is features.

It look like an R/C air park, actually. I live near the headquarters for two large hobby companies (Hobbico - makers of RealFlight, mentioned elsewhere, and Horizon Hobbies). One of the two (I don't remember which) built a similar air park specifically to provide a location for flying R/C jets.

Last I looked, iCloud was not HIPAA¹-compliant. Health-care workers who previously could have iCloud enabled, as long as they did not use it for HIPAA-covered documents, may be in for a big and expensive surprise.

I don't understand how math answers without workings presented and marked are in any way useful or anywhere near "the right track"?

The first thing any teacher will tell you about UK math tests is write all your workings, because these are marked by a human. So if you're solving some complex statistical thing, and you type 0.535346 instead of 0.545346 so get the wrong answer, but all the steps are right, you get almost all the marks. There are so many places in late high school math where this matters that I can't imagine any use of a test that doesn't have a human look over workings.

Given there's probably only a few questions on each assessed topic, it seems much more important to know whether the student can apply the steps for solving a problem than to just give no marks to someone who makes a minor data entry mistake under exam pressure.

I thought math testing was already pretty bad because revision can be optimised so easily by learning to apply steps (not derive them) and by just doing past papers - but I had no idea anybody actually used an all or nothing approach to assessing these questions.

I don't even understand why you would mark it like that, unless you're only assessing math and other subjects you can feasibly reduce to objective answers. I mean, the point is presumably so a computer can mark it? But if you still bother assessing, say, English or History, presumably you still have to have a human mark them essays?
Except that this does not violate the principle of least surprise at all.

I expect that files I edit are saved at some point, somewhere, iCloud makes perfect sense in that it allows me to pick up where I left off on any device. Not only that, but Mavericks had the same behaviour for unsaved files as far as I remember.
I went to school in the US and never had a multiple choice math test that counted for a grade. We'd also almost always get no credit for failing to show our work on tests or homework.
It could have been done on purpose as some people hate voicemail and not setting it up is a sure fire way to not have to check it. But now that it is set up, I'd imagine it'd be a pain to shut off again.
The probe received a 403 forbidden error from google. I realized that google store forbid crawls. So a simple http request won't work.

I was not aware of this situation before. I will see what I can do.
Mavericks had the same behaviour as Yosemite iirc, except it was less obvious.
In the most amazing coincidence the first two pages I submitted had the same digest: 90c0568! One was the front page of a news site, the other was the management page of a company I follow. The mind boggles. Or, they have a bug.

Since the continuity feature requires Bluetooth 4, I figured the magic was done over Bluetooth and wifi.

I personally don't mind using iCloud, but I understand the authors reservations. But feel the root problem is the NSA, not apple. It's too bad that America has lost control of its government and is unable to fix this.
I really think C is much easier to get good at than other languages. There is no mystery with what's going on in the computer when you learn C, the builtin functions, how big something is, how things work, etc.

When you learn higher level languages there is significant mystery in everything. It means you can write a lot of code having no idea what's going on under the hood, which is good. That's the point of a higher level language, but it is certainly something you SHOULD know in order to call yourself an expert. These mysteries are sometimes what causes Good programmers to get hung up on odd edge cases .
How is knowing useful libraries for C any different to knowing useful library for other languages? Perl (about the only other language I have any experience with) seems to be dependant on modules which you struggle to compile through cpan.
Apple is not a "PRISM" partner; I thought we all agreed that this was when the NSA discovered goto fail and/or some jailbreak exploits.
Absolutely! Maybe talk to them about setting up a small fund where non-profits can apply for some free credit.
It appears people are still writing C without appreciating the fact that "undefined behavior" means more than "unpredictable," or "might crash." A lot more: http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-... .

Interesting, but:

There are two kinds of users in this scenario. Those who don't care (99%) and those who do.

If you count yourself among the latter group, as I do, then it's always solid advice to choose actions which clarify your intentions.

In this case:

- don't use iCloud
- don't use iCloud sync for the app you use for private data
- do explicitly choose to save the file locally
- don't enable new features like Continuity that clearly change the file
persistence and availability model without considering your old patterns

The author is rightly sore that his bits got pushed to Apple due to his oversight. He's wrong to place the blame fully on Apple, but it's hard to be fair when you're angry. And I'm glad he wrote it up because it should encourage people to think carefully about where and to whom they trust their data. Though most people I know sync their private data to Dropbox, Ffs, so...thinking != thinking, I guess.

My secure notes strategy is vim with encrypted files on an encrypted partition. It could still leak, and I'd be angry, but there are at least three vendors involved that would have to alter their products behaviours before I was hugely surprised. TextEdit on HFS+ on OSX with iCloud enabled is just one vendor, who can't always cater to my 1% of 1% expectations.
