You can do pull requests through github, but Subversion is still preferred. Things aren't integrated; so for example if you look at https://github.com/ruby/ruby you will notice Issues is not enabled; instead you have to go to a separate issue tracker over at https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/issues.

I still contribute, but the barrier to entry is higher; people have to hunt the ruby home page to find this information which is not ideal.
I don't know how the classification was made, but the first picture suggests that the sub was operating in broad daylight, within a few hundred meters of the coast, with masts and possibly the sail visible to the naked eye from shore??? This was either an on-board emergency, some very, very careless submariners (not something submariners in any country are known for), or something else entirely.

The incredibly short distance from the coast suggests the possibility of an unmanned submarine to me. Territorial waters start at 13NM; operating at the 12.75NM is like conducting military operations 12.75NM inside a country's sovereign borders.
There's no proof that Russia forcibly annexed Ukraine? What newspaper have you been reading?

His style of thinking seems very categorical, where one does not focus on structure of the objects in question (say prime numbers), rather on the mappings between/from/to them. In fact, from the cat. perspective you need to put extra effort to point out particular objects in your collection (http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/generalized+element).

Grothendieck certainly knew what it means for p to be prime. I don't know, but maybe his thoughts went along the line of "primes are some substructure of the natural numbers and such and such changes happen in the functions that we can build on them".

So he was obviously able to speak about some collection of primes, yet whether an actual number is prime he probably doesn't think much about.
Russia isn't going to be overly worried about Sweden

They are. The article even states the reason:

The Nordic country has also drawn closer to NATO in the past few years although the current government has ruled out seeking membership of the U.S.-led alliance.

Also, it would not be the first time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_submarine_S-363). Of course, that happened in the past era, but the recent events have shown, that history tends to repeat itself.

This is where it starts to get to the point where I don't understand the economy of energy enough to really judge. My understanding is that with some desalination methods, energy costs represent over 50% of total cost which suggests that irregular production shouldn't be too much of a problem if energy costs are that different.

I don't really know though.

It's also not supported by python urllib or feedparser (at least not by default), meaning any attempt to connect to a service that requires SNI (cloudfront is one) fails during handshake.

This is doubly annoying for checking blogs that require https and redirect http. I have no way to check their RSS feeds.
Before people start defending Russia too much and proclaiming NATO to be the aggressors, have a look at http://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2014/11/world/russia-west... (and that's just the last 8 months, doesn't include Russia's target practicing on Stockholm with nukes for example)

There's a big propaganda war going on in Europe right now, against NATO, the West, and western ideas. Free media in Russia are being closed down. Not good signs.

The former USSR Baltic states are afraid of getting invaded, like eastern Ukraine, but Sweden is probably "safe" from a direct invasion.

Edit: also it might be good to know that the Armed Forces are very careful not to point to any specific country (they're clearly stating the facts), but we're already getting disinformation from Russian media.
What would there be to be gained from that?
This is true, but I'd also say that even if part of the 25% you can still get a £100k+ salary.
Django is the problem. Even if I don't trigger the database to connect, the startup costs are noticeable to validate models and load things that won't ever be used.

so maybe lambda its not suitable for things that are less than a few seconds.

I could write python with no django and try to structure things so they don't need database. but then I would have to take input from and put output data back to a queue of some sort.

>> A quick back-of-the-envelope test

and actually python on mine was even faster than node when both are doing nothing. so my assumption was wrong (but its based on mostly using django and all my node stuff is small servers and tools)

» time node noop.js
node noop.js 0.04s user 0.01s system 98% cpu 0.045 total

» time python noop.py
python noop.py 0.01s user 0.01s system 90% cpu 0.026 total

but importing significant numbers of libraries would be the real test.

the main benefits to lambda would still be:

- scaling for high demand
- no cost for idle time

and let's not worry about the micro pennies in startup times
Lost interest when it became Windows-only. Writing C on Windows is a nightmare and the chance of portability plummets if you aren't targetting a POSIX system from the start.
A lot of startups aren't exactly solving "real problems" either, you know. And startupland has its own stratification, hierarchies, and pretensions -- not too mention great unwashed masses of second-class citizens: those who came to the party late and missed their chance at a meaningful equity stake and/or a fluffy job title, etc.

Don't work in a job where your function is to maintain some legacy system and if it breaks its as if you lost the firm millions but if its running smoothly no one cares.

Good advice. But at the end of the day, a lot of these ad exchanges, dating apps, half-baked recommender systems etc that most startup engineers get to work on just aren't all that different, in spirit, than the sprawling back-office order processing systems that most financial programmers get to work on (save for the comparatively minor fact that that they might be in badly-written PHP or JS as opposed to badly-written Perl or C).

There are plenty of pour souls in both camps, toiling away in the bowels of other people's messes -- while those responsible for creating those messes have long since made their millions, and moved on to greener pastures.
A person's genome, epigenetic profile, physical environment, social environment, microbiome, parasite-ome, neural connectome, metabolism, enteric connectome, and diet are all unique. Some of these factors regulate the others; some have two-way regulation.

There are far more combinations and variations of the above variables and sub-variables than can be tested for in clinical trials. This fact means that some obscure combination of these variables may result in unintended negative (or positive, less frequently) consequences upon consumption.

Theoretically, you could test for differences in the 1000th person-- with today's technology, it would be a test which described the person's genome. Once scientists had that genomic data in hand, they'd certainly find a profile of alleles which could feasibly describe why a negative reaction occurred.

Importantly, everyone's genome is unique, meaning that a correlation between genomes and negative drug reactions must be exceptionally rigorous in order to be believable. Currently, this correlation poses a problem, as our ability to quantify and understand genomes is far ahead of the other dimensions which I mentioned at the start of my post. As our understanding of the microbiome, enteric connectome, and epigenetics increases, it'll be more possible to predict adverse drug reactions beforehand, assuming the patients in question have been profiled.
I've been following what Lightsail is doing for a while. Would you say the problems you face are more technical or deal-making in nature? In other words, is it more an issue of getting high enough efficiency in the energy recovery, or an issue of getting the technology into use? Or is it cost (since low enough cost makes deal-making easy)?

Apologies if I am asking for too much information.
I might agree with some things but not with e-mail, it's too important to most people say "hey this is probably OK but who knows".

And because of that there is the risk of reputational damage around one of their core products. Working in tech you understand what a Beta really means and you can make that call on an informed basis but that's not true of a typical G-mail user today.
That's just silly. C is standard everywhere. Writing it on Windows is a matter of your facility with the IDE you choose, which can be a portable one if you wish.

The chance for portability depends on the graphics engine you choose or write. Our project (Sococo) is portable across Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and several versions of Linux. The Windows/graphic part is a tiny part of the code.
>A framework calls your code, a library is called by your code.

Exactly. Very subjective, but I lean towards library with golang, because it seems more natural, and the bigger a framework gets, the more you have to do work for it to get it to do work for you.
Is this actually available? There aren't any links to it in the post and I can't find anything by logging into my account.
When you take something that's not yours, it's called stealing, and this will get you in trouble with many companies. A good company will not want you to bring your code because they might be libel. For example, Netscape had to rewrite their browser when UIUC threatened to sue them for using the Mosaic code. It's not just a Wall Street issue.

Even my six year old 5DMII shoots far better than my iPhone 6. Lenses, yes, but sensors too. With my 5DMII I've been able to pull the shop name off of a reflection of a guy's eye that I was doing a normal portrait for. There is far less photo AI magic going on in DSLRs to fake high quality results. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with the 6 for casual shots, but I still think it's much easier to get high quality from larger sensors.

The point is that he was overzealously prosecuted for it. You might want to do some reading about the case; it was really quite awful and unfair, what happened to him.
I'm reasonably certain that this has started to change in MSVC 2013. They have stated that they have improved the C99 library support and unless I'm mistaken they have finally permitted mixed code and declarations.
I was about to write this same thing. For $200 you can get either the Nikon or Cannon version of the 35mm and greatly improve every picture you take. It also opens up a lot of artistic options with DoF and lighting.
He's going to write his own renderer, he's not using SDL or anything. He's going to be opening his own windows and drawing to them directly. The chance at portability is extremely slim, and on top of that those of us who use saner operating systems won't get to enjoy it for a long time.
Given how over subscribed the beta is I think they're getting feedback.

Remember with this sort of product the questions they have are "is this interesting?", "is this useful?", "do people like what this does?".

Can we get this running on Firefox simply isn't an interesting question to them - they know the answer, it's yes if they throw resource at it, but for a new product team with questions over whether this product should even exist that's not a priority.

Remember, this is Google who have a long history of canning this sort of project. If I were the company who produced Wave, I'd probably look at how I could reduce the cost and time to feedback for my next new thing too.

As an aside, I've tried Inbox and, to me at least, it's the next Wave, not the next Gmail.
Depends on the system. If it's a brand new one there will usually be a set of global firm standards that should be followe (i.e. Oracle, Linux, Java or whatever) but you can follow a process to get an exception. It's not great but as banks have 3,000+ systems of various types they need to keep some control of the technology stacks in use.

IT is still back office, but in the last couple of jobs where I have dealt with the Front Office directly no-one laughs at you. They can't do their job without technology.

Let's say you could generate your water for 100$. With 50$ from building the plant and 50$ from energy. Now, if you operate it half the time you need to build 2 power-plants at 50$ a pop = 100$ so if you pay even 1cent for energy your worse off.
I still don't think I'd like to be the person to test that.
Because it was operating fairly calmly on the surface, which strongly suggests that it was a diesel boat. Nuclear subs stay submerged after leaving port to help keep stealth. Diesel subs, on the other hand, have to either surface, or extend a snorkel, in order to pull in air to run the engines to recharge the batteries. The US, like the UK, and France has a pure-nuclear submarine fleet; the last American diesel boat was taken out of commission in the nineties. This leaves countries like Germany, whose boats have a distinctive profile that the photographed boat doesn't have, and Russia.

This. A million times this. I don't understand Twitter. I don't get what the hell they're thinking of, when they release (for example) the horrific design that is the Twitter desktop and Mobile apps. An incredibly common use case is to have more than one twitter account and switch between them. Go try it.

A bunch of people brought out superior apps, and Twitter just killed them.

If this is representative of the thinking going on at Twitter, they are (deservedly) doomed.

Alain Ducasse on the connectedness of every participant to the final product
Objectively Russia may have nothing to gain from short military intrusions into neighboring countries, but these decisions are driven by more indirect goals.

There is plenty of evidence that Russia is actively testing the military readiness of countries close to their borders. For example, intrusions by Russian military airplanes into Finnish airspace have increased tenfold compared to previous years.

Dismissing the submarine reports as a NATO ploy looks like a conspiracy theory when it's clear that Russia is actively doing this stuff all over their European border.

SO the portability effort is - opening a window and drawing? How is that difficult. Writing his own renderer means its pretty easy to be portable. He'd have to make a special effort to include platform code in what's normally a pure-math engine, right?
I use gmail everyday on my phone and have not bothered with downloading its app. It is pointless as I get a good enough experience on the browser and I do not want to deal with updates.

And native apps are good for things like Microsoft Office or things you expect to use offline and frequently. But if you make me download an app for Facebook or gmail and get me to update it every now and then, I will get pretty annoyed.
It's definitely not the 'in' thing these days, but it's a very solid, robust bit of code that still makes for a nice language for creating certain kinds of systems.

Will the game support multiple platforms?
Yes! Windows will be the first platform, since it is currently the most common gaming platform, but the series will later cover (at least) Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi. Portability will be a major topic in the series, so all the code will be structured to demonstrate how to write code that is easy to port to new platforms.

Very rarely will you ever do 100% of what you enjoy in life. And if all you do is what you enjoy, then it becomes ordinary and can lose it's luster.

My strategy for making it through was to find things I enjoyed to use as a reward for completing what I didn't want to do. I would also do research on a topic of interest and figure out how to learn it along with good ways to apply it.

This is an ancient lesson in software development. IIRC back in the early 1990s there was a beta build of Microsoft Office sent out to early adopters with full debugging turned on, and one of them wrote a newspaper review about how slow the new version was, despite the adopter being explicitly told it was a debug build and would be slower. "It's just to show off new features, not new speed."
