I regularly use projectile with helm. I particularly like helm-projectile-grep/ack, which runs grep or ack on the files in the project. Another great feature is the set of projectile commands to toggle between a test and implementation file (assumes you use a test directory structure that mirrors your code's structure), or simply find a file in your tests.

You make some excellent and valid points, to which I don't necessarily disagree. I just think the inertia is towards the use of native apps over web browsers as delivery mechanisms for software - both mobile and PC.

A couple of points:

"Firstly there are competing platforms on which to deploy your programs."

I see the major web browser as those competing platforms. The effort to make something work on different web browsers is huge, almost, or equal to, the difficultly of choosing a cross platform development tool and targeting multiple OSes.

"...the first thing we'd do when we unboxed a mac or a PC was download and install facebook".

A native facebook application might be pretty cool. Really, do I do something much different when I use Thunderbird and eschew Gmail?
point is, it's not base32 if there are 31 characters in the alphabet.
Firefox uses javascript internally, so it's still good for Firefox devs and extension authors.
The concept is based on the Japanese "Takuzu".
I subscribe to Google Apps for Business ( Gmail, Calendar etc.) The Google Admin console for my company is barely functional in Firefox. Switching menus causes the page to crash and Firefox prompts me to stop the scripts. On the other hand , the same console works fine on Chrome. One could argue that this is because FireFox "is not as fast as Chrome and I should use Chrome if I use Google Web applications". Hmm -- I do recall hearing a similar argument sometime in the 90s.
I would have expected this sort of comment in most forums, but not necessarily in a community where many members actually deal and grapple with questions of "what platform gets supported when" and understand that "effort not worth it" is not the same thing as "business politics"

I believe many people know and understand that it's not unheard of for Google to release app updates on iOS a couple of weeks before the Android version comes out.

And while I've wanted to visit app stores cross platform to add items to a wish list while on the go, and been a little frustrated by not being able to do so, it does seem like a bit of an edge case. Although I suppose with both iTunes and Google Play edge cases can still be huge.

The #1 piece of advice that I took away from this was: "“Who you talk to is just as important as what questions you ask and what you pull away from it."

Nowadays with things like Lean Startup Machine and Startup Weekend (which I do think serve a purpose and are valuable to building habits around customer development), I've seen prospective entrepreneurs get caught up in the MOTIONS of doing customer development and interviews thinking i.e. just getting out of the room and talking to anyone they can find on the street, instead of the real target customer that you've really thought about. I like Emmett's focus on really thinking this part through.

Ballmer was at the helm when this train started rolling. It has taken years to get here. When Hanselman said to Miguel, "We did it." on stage at dev connect, I took that to mean something much larger than open sourcing Core.net. There has been a push from within on open-sourcing and pivoting on their approach to many of their lines of business that has taken so many people so many small battles, that I would sya Satya's ascendancy was the coming out party for a movement vs. some catalytic event.
Yea, sounds more reasonable. The quote was actually from the Swedish press (not the gov), and they seem to have gone a bit overboard with their description of the evidence.

AFAIK only .net will which is not visual studio.
In your comment about Germany, are you referring to the Type 209? My data is very dated (1997), but at that point, there were a lot of German-made diesels owned by other nations (including Argentina in the Falklands War). They are/were the Ak-47 of submarines, and many were substantially upgraded with things like Stirling engines so they could remain submerged longer. Point being, if it is a diesel (and I agree with your assessment that it is), it would be difficult to tell visually what nation it comes from, because many older diesels (particularly the German ones but also other) have been sold off and ended up in the fleets of various other countries.
I think the key factor here is that with the new tools and power in computation big data is everywhere. Intelligent and creative people can use this tools to create models and new hypothesis that they can refine and sharp with the new data. This is like Lisp and its meta capabilities. We can design programs that create general hypothesis (macros) and then those tests are macro-expanded to create functions that specialize and refine the model and hypothesis. The power of computation and the availability of rich sources of data (sensors, NLP, twiiter, and so on) allow us to think in ways that were a dead end before the big data era.

Is the new tools and powerful computational capabilities what rewards those with the inspiration and creativity required to get the most of it. Industry or Academia is a false dichotomy, what is needed here is a new way of thinking to explore and create hypothesis in a way that was not possible before the big data era.
I'm no expert on this subject, but a small amount of Googling suggests that rumors of skydiving's lack of regulation in the US have been greatly exaggerated. For example, you can't just pack your own chute - there's a special FAA certification you have to get before you're allowed to do that.

The rules I'm seeing seem more like the ones that govern recreational sailing, which is a topic I'm more familiar with: If you're just doing it on your own, sailing is fairly lightly regulated. Your boat needs to meet some minimum requirements for safety equipment and the like, but for the most part all the rules for recreational sailing are voluntary and self-imposed by the community.

But all that goes out the window once you start doing it commercially. If you want to take tourists out on a day sail, you need to be a licensed captain and there's a whole host of federally-imposed rules about how you operate your boat that come into play.

Virgin Galactic isn't analogous to some guy day-sailing in his own boat. SpaceShipOne would have been, but SpaceShipTwo is much more analogous to commercial sailing, which is comprehensively regulated for the sake of consumer protection.
> The 'would have been bad experience to new users' is a strawman arguement. Solution: dont release product until it works.

Except that almost no one does it nowdays. MVPs, early launches, etc. Why Google should be held to one standard while every "innovative startup" is held to a completely opposite?

By the way, did no one read what Google itself has to say about Inbox? It's explicitly stated as not a replacement for GMail. They're playing around with UX idea. You can look at it as a very elaborate A/B test.
> It encourages you to skim through code rather than understand it.

Personally I find it allows me to skim through code so I can understand it.

I'm not generally interested in syntactic overhead. I care about the names and structures of things. Occasionally I care about the type of things, but less often than I care about what I can actually do to that thing.
Netflix doesn't send data over Comcast's network directly. They connect to... was it Cogent? And then Cogent pays Comcast to send that data to Comcast customers. So, Comcast customers pay Comcast for the connection, and Cogent pays Comcast to deliver the data, but Comcast also wants Netflix to pay them to deliver their data.

Pretty vague - it stops 'unusual activity'. How is that defined? What if I actually mean to do some unusual activity? This technique has specific application, and its not for a busy server undergoing frequent configuration.

Any time you see a comment like "With some more man hours, it seems trivial for Google to get the application to run in Firefox", you know the author either doesn't know what they're talking about or just hasn't thought about it very much. Anyone who's done any serious web-app development in the past decade knows that cross browser compatibility at the bleeding edge (ie, past what the JS frameworks have worked out) can consume as much time as the rest of the application put together.

At the early fast-iteration stage of a limit-seeking webapp like Inbox, it makes sense to focus on the app itself and limit yourself to just one browser. For Google, obviously they will choose Chrome. Once the app reaches some stability, and major changes are coming far more slowly, then it makes sense to start working in cross-browser compatibility.
"RUSI GO HOME" is a common term, especially in Eastern Europe. This phrase is directed towards occupant Russian military and politics.

Probably, I could have put it in more diplomatic language, but I get angry when I see similar pro-Putin propaganda shit and from suspicious account...

When connecting to the desired website, I can check for the correct certificate myself, thanks. This is not a perfect solution, but it is better than third party CA's or letting third parties embed certificates in browsers where no user ever looks at them. In my opinion.

Well, I do use GMail off-line all the time - this (+ less crappy UX) is the reason I keep the app. Being able to browse and send e-mails shouldn't require being constantly on-line.
I'm currently working in the industry in the Permian Basin area (Texas/New Mexico) and can say that my main concern is environmental. With the fracking operations, you get a huge load of oil, saltwater, and sand/crud/junk/chemicals. They truck them to a SWD disposal facility (my company does PLC's and controls etc for these) which then separate the oil out. The problem is that, at most of the SWD disposal places I have been too, disposal consists of pumping the junk/crud/chemical water straight back into the ground.

They say they drill below the Ogillalah aquifer, but what if they don't? Having actually been a contractor for one of the bigger public oil companies, I can just say I don't really trust them to do things like that properly, and my guess is that within a few years we will find out, oh shit,

"Someone poisoned the water hole".

That's when T. Boone Pickens will unleash his high-priced water. I don't thing people realize how close the south is to major water shortages and is vulnerable to a drought. Hopefully this upcoming winter will help offset some of that.
>And web browsers absolutely suck at UI for applications.

I prefer web apps to native apps. Day to day, at work, our CRM, bug/issue/project tracker, document management, help-desk software, phone system management, knowledge base, email, document/spreadsheet software are all web-based. Historically, those were all native 'programs' (as late as mid 2000s) and they were all crap.

>All for something that could have been created as a native app much easier.

I don't know about that. Some things are easier with html/css/js than with a native framework, but it's not just about developer comfort. Web applications provide huge benefits to users over native apps - that's why we're willing to deal with the development stack (which is getting better every year).

>Imagine the man hours and effort that went into building Gmail.

It's probably not that bad. Writing maintainable web code isn't that hard these days.

>There's a lot of reasons that people have gravitated towards apps on phones

Yes. It all really boils down to performance. If you could get 60fps with a web-app on mobile (which in principle you should achieve), I don't think users would care. You'd also see an even bigger uptake of webview-based 'native' apps (a la phone gap).

That sounds like giving up - no well-known defense can possibly work. So the attackers always win? I don't believe it.
This is almost exactly how I use it as well. I find Twitter to be incredibly valuable, even though I scoffed at it for a couple years before finally signing up.

I also know many people who game their main feed by reciprocally following everyone for audience building, then set up lists for groups they actually care about. This makes the main view too noisy for me, but I could see that as a viable strategy.
Pretty nice, although the library is a bit small for my tastes. No planes, no intersections... interesting, but I'd like to see a more complete feature set.
My interest in Ruby wanes a bit every time there is a new Ruby release, but no corresponding Windows installer on rubyinstaller.org

I really like the language and used to reach for it as a first instinct, but nowadays it almost lost its mindshare with me.

I understand that there are open bugs that are tricky, but I get the very serious impression that the core Ruby devs simply don't care about Windows at all (a bit like it used to be with git). Bad move, I think.

ProjectOpen [1] could be an example. But from my experience it is basically a legacy project used in (large) companies, because it filled a gap 15 years ago when web based PM software was still rare.

I felt the same way about written tests when I was in school. These tests would ask you to find errors and follow loops... this is silly since we have modern debuggers to help with this.

Just try to remember that life is not like school. In life there aren't tests so much as there are learning experiences. When you program, you're constantly learning, correcting, analyzing, and perfecting until things are just right. This is what makes it so much fun.

I agree with the others here that it would help to talk to the counselor and your teachers. On top of that, if it helps, remember that many others went through the similarly insane rigors of modern higher education to find that in retrospect it was a highly helpful learning experience, if not tedious at times.

Best of luck!

I wonder if there is some hidden factor in the minds of those mathematicians that allows them to think so easily in abstract terms. I have always needed to begin with simple examples and from them to go to generalities. Perhaps they learned all the easy stuff when they were children and all those years of their adolescence were employed to enrich their minds with more and more general and powerful concepts and frameworks. Then, when they mature they no longer needs to think about the concrete, for then those abstracts ideas are as concrete like a tree for a child.

That vision is only achievable for those able to live alone, to wander with their thoughts, to lose themselves in the island of their inner world. Their inner world and ideas are more real and concrete than what we see with our eyes. They don't see a prime number, a prime ideal is only point in the spectrum of a ring, their math ideas are so colorful that nobody can reach that peak without forgetting where we come from and that the earth is our planet. They live in a different math heaven always climbing to reach the book (Erdos ideal).
