In very broad strokes:

The start-server command in tools.nrepl https://github.com/clojure/tools.nrepl Will open an nREPL (networked REPL) server on some port of your choosing, by default on localhost. Configure your application to allow this to happen on startup.

SSH from your dev box to the server, and forward the port the REPL is listening on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding

(having the nREPL port only listen on localhost and then using SSH to access it is somewhat important for security. Someone else who connects to the nREPL port can run arbitrary code with your app's permissions, see any data being processed by your app, etc.)

From a shell:

lein repl :connect <port>

From vim (with tim pope's fireplace plugin):

:Connect nrepl://localhost:<port>
I think cameras in phones had a lot to do with the limitations of the tech. Even so, it's a conscious action to hold your phone and take a photo, and while there's plenty of idiots on Reddit that don't care, it's not socially acceptable to take photos of strangers without permission. Everytime I've spoken to someone wearing Glass, I was so paranoid that a photo of my mouth in the wrong pose would be used for someone's karma.
Probably something more like 'Ekhjelpe! Ek hefi ratað eða get ek ei standa'.

The site doesn't actually send passwords anywhere. Having said that, the irony is not lost on me that a site called "How Secure Is My Password?" asks you to type your password into a site which you have no reason to trust. I didn't ever really intend for the site to become popular... but it did. Anyway, hopefully by having it as a plugin directly on websites it will avoid such problems.
Due to the fact that the chromecast requires an always-on internet connection it's far from finished and entirely useless in many cases.
I'm also experimenting with isomorphic React apps. I'll be presenting some of my work at React Conf at the end of the month (so this isn't yet as well documented as it should be), but here's what I'm trying to handle async data with ReactRouter:

- Have the data your view depends on expressed as a named parameter in routes.jsx: https://github.com/appsforartists/ambidex-example--bike-inde...

- Use those named parameters to resolve which stores need to be populated before rendering: https://github.com/appsforartists/ambidex-example--bike-inde...

- Don't render the page on the server until those routes are populated: https://github.com/appsforartists/Ambidex/blob/master/src/ca...

In that example, the editBike view depends on bikeID. actionsForRouterState makes sure that the viewBike action is called to populate the CurrentBike store before any route that includes bikeID is rendered.
Interesting, but not interesting enough to warrant such a steep pricetag, in my opinion at least.

Yeah, this caters to the people who don't want to fiddle with pandoc or some other Markdown-to-$format tool, but even the cost (in terms of time spent) doing that would still be probably significantly less - and result in a more valuable end-product (since there would be no arbitrary limits) - than the monetary cost of this particular service.

Yeah, it's cheaper than hiring a designer every single time I want to create a document, but who the hell would do that? I would opt to have the designer create a template once, then use that template repeatedly, which would end up being much more affordable than this in the long run.

Nice idea, but the price is going to strangle this thing in the crib.

SATs, ACTs, alumni preference and other current admissions policies reinforce biases too, but any admissions standard will. (If it helps to get one into college, wealthy parents will find a way to optimize their kids around it) It's a matter of degree, and in the past, top schools were much worse.
Doesn't matter what the cause is. A 20%+ variance in mere minutes _is_ volatility, by definition.
It is interesting to see that much has happened in Mathematics since 1869. All questions are extremely easy. No real functional analysis. Trivial algebra. Some fairly easy calculus.

The Latin/Greek section is also very easy as everything is provided. When I was a teenager my Latin exams were much more demanding.

The historical section is interesting as it focuses a lot on antic times. It is difficult to judge the difficulty of the question without knowing what was expected.

If anything, this test shows that today standards are much much higher than 1869 standards and I'm not surprised.
Sure:
"Two things changed. The first was the rule of law. For most of the world's history, if you did somehow accumulate a fortune, the ruler or his henchmen would find a way to steal it. But in medieval Europe something new happened. A new class of merchants and manufacturers began to collect in towns. [10] Together they were able to withstand the local feudal lord. So for the first time in our history, the bullies stopped stealing the nerds' lunch money. This was naturally a great incentive, and possibly indeed the main cause of the second big change, industrialization."

But if you have to wait for others to opt-in, your system will never take off. So it must must must be opt-out - scrape as much data as you can from Facebook or Twitter or driver's license photos or whatever. There's just no chance at all that this could be an opt-in system. It cannot work.

When the government does facial recognition, they're not asking you to opt-in to being facially recognized... why do you think that is? When the police deploy license plate scanners, they don't ask you to opt-in and provide data, why do you think that is?

The put it out there and gain traction model doesn't generally work for any game project that's going to make money. Yes, if you're making $20 in revenue the first week, you might make a bit more in some other week, but probably not.

I see it as something like Google Wave, a bit before the market is ready for it with a terrible form factor. However the technology and intent is correct.

These things will be back, but they won't be Google Glass, they'll be the "GoPro of Google Glass". Probably single function at first, cool looking, wearable/usable, with modders and hobbyists starting to build out functionality piecemeal until they have something really cool.

And back to that form factor, I'm just a regular guy, and I wouldn't be caught dead in these things. When the visual impression of your product is Robert Scoble wearing them in the shower, you know you're doomed.
There is a group of people who want to pay up-front for games. It's a question of whether you can make this a viable business model.

I was chatting with the CEO of a company that makes kids' games, and he mentioned some interesting feedback from parents: The price of a $1 game isn't really $1, because they had to buy a bunch before finding one their kid liked. So, they would happily pay more than $1 for a trusted brand that's likely to satisfy their kids.

There are two counter points that are not covered. Kids getting hurt in car accidents doesn't distinguish between them being in the car or being hit by a car. All of the car accidents I have heard where a child was hurt have been when the kid was crossing.

Secondly, its not a question of if the world is safer. The issue is with how litigious the world is, if the cops hadn't called CPS and something was wrong they would have gotten in trouble, if the CPS hadn't followed standard operating procedure their jobs would have been on the line.

In my opinion, as a parent, the people to blame are the over protective parents that call for "Think of the children" laws/rule just because of statistically insignificant tragedies.

How much different are retail vs internet prices in AUS?

I just imagine because of AUS (relative) isolation, that internet transactions aren't much cheaper than retail.

Pure speculation.
I have a tool that does this. I produced machine generated translations of German and French as an expedient. The German messages were corrected by a native speaker and I cleaned up the French as best I could. When French is in use an extra message is printed appealing for someone to edit the weak translations.

I dealt with word order issues by avoiding formatted strings with more than one replacement field. Only one string needs to deal with singular vs plural quantities.

Lack of context was a definite problem with the machine translations. It would inconsistently choose translated words that should have been the same because the short string snippets could not be evaluated for their meaning within the narrow domain of the program using them.

Confluence + word export? For similar price you get reports plus a wiki as well. I've been using that export recently and it works awesome. You need a word template, though, but that can be cheaply had through freelance designers ($20-50 tops). I'd consider this if this was a one-time purchase or like $5/month, but not for that price.

Even with delegates, C#'s version is pretty much equivalent to JS's:

Func<string> blah = delegate { return "im a function"; };
As others have noted, awk is great for one-liners. Just minutes ago, I wanted to find out what users and groups own all of the files within a certain deep directory tree (on linux). I did this:

$ ls -lR | awk '{ print $3, $4 }' | sort -u > user_group_list

and got the list I wanted. (Yes, it's sloppy but I don't care, as it's just a one-off.)
I can see a reason they believe this. Just not a good one.

'When I were a lad' we got the local paper delivered every afternoon (by children, ironically enough). We watched the day's national news on TV at 6pm, followed by the local news at 6:30.

In today's world, even trivial news such as this can reach me, the same day, over 5000km away. The world feels like a much darker place, because I'm exposed to so many more evils. And even though the vast majority of them shouldn't, they do end up interfering with our already poor ability to judge risk.

Many years from now, when I'm deciding whether or not it's okay for my hypothetical children to walk to school - this story might vaguely cross my mind, in that strange way our memory is prone to - and end up factoring in my choice somehow, despite the irrelevance of some tiny muni half a world away.

Our brains just aren't good at this.
Right, but is anyone honestly hiring a design consultant for each and every report they generate? Remarq would make sense if that were the case, but it's far more likely that one would hire the designer to produce a template, then use that template until it's no longer in style. That will end up being phenomenally cheaper than what's being offered here.
I had a conversation with another semi-famous PL designer. Not one of the ones you list, but only a little below them. He primarily worked on languages the C/C++ family, and had no conception of the value of a closure.

There are lots of smart PL designers working systems languages, and there are lots of smart PL designers working on high-level, functional languages. That doesn't mean that either group is necessarily aware of everything the other group is doing, and it doesn't mean they share the same goals, experience, or taste.

B) If more economic growth with a declining tax base is good enough, then more economic growth with an increasing tax base would be better. Also, if insufficient economic growth with a stable population is bad, then insufficient economic growth with a declining tax base is clearly worse.
