I'm not sure what the notation you're using represents, but it looks like you're talking about matrices of a known size. What that's an example of is dependent types, where types can be parameterized by values, and not just types. For example, a (2D) matrix is parameterized by what it contains, and its dimensions. The former is a type but the latter are values. Without dependent types (or some subset of their capability) you can't represent this matrix type; you'd just have to check at runtime that no out-of-bounds access was occurring, so no; I don't think you could put this in a conventional language (without some crazy gymnastics, perhaps involving macros or similar). However, with dependent types, this is absolutely possible to statically guarantee that no out-of-bounds access will occur at runtime.
I don't think I can agree with that assessment. Alternatively, is the top half of the comments saying "Angular is complicated, but not unnecessarily so for building large web apps with big teams?"
>They aren't opposed to an experience changing them. And most things are guidelines to make choices, not absolutes. In this case, going on a mission was a higher priority, and the most effective way to get to the target was via air travel. If there was an alternative then they would take it.

It's not so much the experience change I'm pointing out, rather that that will bring foreign influence from outside (and obviously foreign influence has occurred because they are using tractors and diesel from the other comments.)

And if we're considering a decision matrix that tries to minimize outside influence, that still doesn't explain why the Philippines vs any where in North America, really.
Super Looper v1.1 – Disco Sequencer App (Now with Recording)
Just launched our product on TechCrunch. Helping hospitals run smoothly a challenging problem but one we care a lot about.

If any of you want to talk about this or have stories from waiting in the ER or a doctors office please share :)
I worked remotely for 12 years for a fairly small tech company. The keys to being successful, as I saw it, were

- Be very active in your team. Comment on code changes. Be on every conf call. Be on skype, IRC, or whatever mechanism your team uses to stay in touch. You have to make up for the missing facetime by being that much more active in other ways.

- Have a regular schedule that you stick to & make sure your teammates know what your schedule is. Just because you work remotely does not mean you're always on call. Conversely, working remotely isn't a license to watch TV & play video games all day.

- Have a dedicated home office (or at least a workspace) that is for work only. When you're in this space, treat family and/or roommates as you would if they showed up unannounced at your office. Be polite, but let them know you're working. Similarly, try to avoid working during your downtime. Unless there is a severe crunch, you probably would not go into your office at 9pm, so stay out of your home office.
You basically instantiate a view controller with a string of js and it works. Can drop into existing app for one view.
I like the static site idea (I used it for years for my personal site), but I also like having a web front end for editing. I can't find a static site generator with a dynamic admin/posting end. Anyone seen one?
When I shoot portraits of people with a flash I will sometimes use an orange gel to give people's skin a more human look. White flash tends to take that out of the final picture but the orange gel makes skin look more natural.
The use non-public information is what the article talks about - there are plenty of other non-public data sets that traders use to gain an advantage (e.g. using helicopters with infared sensors over oil fields).

The difference in this case seems to be they broke customer confidentiality rules to obtain the data, so use of that data for profit is now illegal.
I did some searches for (all without the quotes) "privacy patriarchy", "privacy protects men", and "privacy feminism," but I mostly found old articles from the 80s and 90s about how Roe vs. Wade should not have been argued from a privacy standpoint and arguments about how drawing a line where family is "private life" can enable domestic violence and inequality due to the state being reluctant to interfere with people's private lives. Can you provide some examples from the last year of the trend you're describing?
It's probably too snarky - but The Onion has an actually fairly compelling narrative around vaccination that ends up kind of chilling:

Firefox Hello does have an open socket connection to Mozilla servers. This is why once you give out the link, Hello can ring the browser to indicate someone has joined the conversation.

Since Hello currently doesn't have a Friends list or a way to utilize existing social networks, passing a link to a friend is how you give them permission to ring your browser.
For many use-cases, http://prose.io works well.

You can then use TravisCI (or the like) to trigger the site rebuild and deployment.
> No, you don't own the radio waves that pass through your property on licensed spectrum.

Yes I do, and I can put shielding on all the walls to attenuate them. Nobody can do a damn thing about that, other than relocate their transmitter or receiver so that the line of sight doesn't pass through those walls.

> And microwave ovens need to be FCC approved precisely to ensure they don't cause undue interference.

So, logically, since major name brand microwave ovens can completely jam Wi-Fi, doing so must not be considered undue interference.

Nobody was emotionally invested in the systematic abuse of large aquatic mammals except some really messed up individuals.

It's worth a shot, though. I'd watch it.
There are two things that stop it from being slow in practice:

1. The virtual DOM that render deals with is several orders of magnitude faster than the real DOM, so you need to have thousands of elements before it starts taking longer than making the one change to the real DOM for the one element that changed

2. You can skip calling render on subcomponents that haven't changed, so while updating a list of 10000 elements where one has changed would require iterating through 10000 elements, updating a list of 100 elements that each contains 100 elements where one of the bottom level elements has changed would only require iterating through 200 elements.

So where is your evidence that quantitative fields did not have this "focused effort", but non-quantitative fields did? Can you present some evidence of focused effort in medicine, law and biology but none in computing and aerospace engineering?

I.e., do you have an upward sloping graph with focused effort on the X and %female on the Y?
Based on history (Angular published in 2009, Bootstrap in 2011), that's a bit revisionist isn't it? It's the open web stack that's incompatible with Angular---as well it should be, since each piece of that stack is trying to solve a part of the elephant and Angular was architected to solve the whole elephant.

That having been said, the criticisms about it being an enterprise framework that's hard to move off of are spot-on. But lots of people prefer a one-stop solution to cobbling together an open stack---less flexibility, more out-of-the-box functionality.

You know, even though I think there are pretty decent Linux DEs today (I'll gladly take Gnome 3 over the OSX or Windows GUIs), you are completely right about the community having an awful attitude towards their designers. See all the hate thrown at Gnome 3, Unity and Pantheon... Those projects are the only ones keeping Linux from looking like it's 10-20 years behind its competitors in UI design.
That doesn't appear to be a very good counter point, your own link confirms what the parent said.

There's one country ahead of the US in that list, half of Europe averages middling scores, and the other half is either not even listed (eg Bulgaria, Moldova, Croatia, Belarus) or posts incredibly bad scores (eg Poland, Greece, Hungary, Belgium, Iceland).
Off topic: This is literally the first gem/package/piece of software I've seen distributed in this way that has sales tax attached to it for residents of a certain state. Is there some Michigan law pertaining to sales tax on software?

My business offers in consultancy-based software development so we are not bound by my state's sales taxes, I was just curious if Michigan has a software-specific law.
There's something like 2k-8k exit nodes, and all that is needed to compromise it is 51% of those. Given that the CIA started tor and the government has significant interest in breaking it, I would find it harder to believe that they didn't have a few thousand computers lying around.

Also all of this is from memory, but I hope none of it is wrong. Feel free to correct me if so.
The growth in the diversity of studies is not a flaw of the humanities, it is a feature. It the natural result of the growth in the sophistication and scope of what people think about.

In the time of Newton, natural philosophers studied the full scope of natural phenomena. Today, students can get undergraduate science degrees in molecular biology--a sub-sub-discipline that did not even exist 100 years ago. So, let's not pretend that science has not experienced its own diversity in areas of study.

But the point of liberal arts education is breadth. In a liberal arts curriculum, a women's studies major still takes some math and science, and a computer science major still takes some humanities and social sciences. A major is an area of concentration within a broad education, not a silo.

And science and technology do need cultural analysis. Not because one can "feel" code compiling, but because science and technology fields have their own cultures, and those cultures are prone to the same human tendencies as any other. Looking at the national conversation about diversity in technology, consider the possibility that maybe some folks in that field could benefit from taking a class in women's studies.

I would think the biggest benefit is the fuller understanding of what you built. Probably some efficiency benefits.

Of course, this is also the biggest fault, I would think. You rarely have the luxury of understanding to this level all of the parts of your program. And something like command line parsing probably is not the bottleneck in any way of your program.

That's not good at all. If you log a bug, you should be able to send over the documents in confidence - this sounds pretty bad.
This idea was covered in Dan Ariely's book "Predictably Irrational". Glad to see more scientific data backing up the claim.
Steven Soderbergh's Traffic (2000) made heavy use of this, too, to distinguish different locales and parts of the story. The Mexico/Benicio Del Toro partions were heavy on gold/orange, burnt, sepia, while the Washington/Michael Douglas parts were blue, cool.
I see it as just another way of understanding a tool in a filmmakers box better. You can gain a deeper appreciation for a film by understanding how and why an element, be it sound, color, framing, or anything else, was chosen by the director and film crew.
I read that rather differently. I see it as a poke at management that wants to make the move because of hype not a real understanding of what it will take, and not put the effort in training\hiring devs who have as he puts it "have taste and guidance".
I was a OF user for years before switching. I got Office 2010 because of a client and like you said after couple of weeks of trying was enough for me to like it. The workflow, the mouse over preview's in the ribbon and shortcuts is such an improvement. Now I can't see myself switching. One more note, money shouldn't be the reason not to switch, it's worth it if you use it for business. For personal use, Google (which I use too) or LO will do it.

Ad hominem. I can't really comment on the article itself since I don't understand anything about Angular, but let's do our best not to just throw a bunch of random stuff at the wall and hope something sticks just to justify our lack of understanding of the author's point.
Tried changing the encoding?
I think a lot of it comes down to what a visual designer can contribute. FOSS projects are typically the sum of individual contributions from a lot of people, all scratching their itches. There is limited scope for someone to tell other people what they need to do.

A designer who can't code is dependent on other people donating their time so that the design can be realized. This puts the designer at an immediate disadvantage.

Lately there have been tons of new Email Apps. We believe Email is great and definitely has its use cases.

However, one of the things that we’ve discovered while building and using Tracr is that it’s a much faster and lightweight approach to do Email-like communication.

Tracr basically is like Twitter and Email having a baby.

You wanna send someone a piece of information (file, taks, message) in a asynchronous and status based way (open, done) by simply using @usernames and #hashtags, well then definitely give Tracr a try. We know that Tracr is still rough on the edges, but wanted to collect early feedback.

Feel free to send me a Trac to @alexmarktl (that's what we call a message on Tracr) or an old school Email to alexander dot marktl at gmail dot com to give feedback or if you wanna find out more about our vision.

I'm optimistic that it's a good development, the more automation displaces high-salary occupations, the more likely society will change to address fundamental economic shifts associated with singularity, or post-scarcity, or whatever you want to label it. Doubly true since it's an frequent past occupation of politicians.

What is the defacto best way to learn React? I like the architecture and the coding style, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of talk about best practices.
Enabling non-JS devs to create a rich experience website (even if it has performance and future-proofing flexibility issues) is secret magic. Never underestimate the number of non-web engineers who desperately want to make browser-accessible frontends to their tools without having to learn the "hell" that is Javscript.

I strongly suspect people were writing those blog posts because Angular worked for them in a way that alternatives had not; I hear that's how things get popular sometimes.
How a flexible work culture could solve our sleep problems
I should have mentioned that I don't actually have a problem with WPF or Xaml from a technical standpoint (I've been watching several Pluralsight and MSVA courses and the binding certainly looks very powerful). My wavering between WPF/C# vs HTML/JS/C# is more about where I think development will be going in the future and how that works out for me professionally. That is why I really was hoping WinJS would take off so I could get the best of both worlds, being able to develop for an OS (WP/Win8) I actually enjoy but also not letting my web dev skills atrophy. I'm very curious to see if WinJS gets mentioned at Build this year or if it will fade quietly into the background.
Where should I file it?
Another example of this is the the show Fringe, which used a tint (blue or red) to indicate information about where a scene took place. (Keeping it a little vague to not include spoilers.)
Probably a limitation of the color film stock at the time. Technicolor used a beam splitter and three strips of black-and-white film. It made super-vivid colors but was expensive. Single-strip color film rose to the top in the 50s and 60s with worse colors, but much cheaper and easier to shoot.
I bring up the lack of turing completeness because in the space of type languages you can make even more powerful arguments. What you mention about reasonable encodings is sufficient, but we can get more strength.

And, yeah... even a type system as primitive as C can catch interesting invariants. This is an important counterpoint to the general idea that "types never say anything interesting".

Hmm. That's something I hadn't considered. It's clear you have the option of whether or not your game is included in a sales promotion, but I'm not sure how much influence Valve has when it comes to price. I'll reach out to the indie devs I wrote about and see what the word is.
The argument I generally use is "it's nobody's business". For example:

Person I'm talking to: "I don't mind giving up some privacy for safety. I've got nothing to hide."

Me: "That's great, but what I do, so long as I'm not hurting anybody, is nobody's business but my own."
> Can you provide some examples from the last year of the trend you're describing?

I don't remember any specific articles, but they've mostly revolved around campus sexual assault and domestic violence.

The Newsweek article from yesterday, What Silicon Valley Thinks of Women, was also complaining about a tech CEO who received a relatively lenient sentence for a domestic violence incident, which happened because the main evidence against him was thrown out due to being seized without a warrant. I'm not saying the author of the piece was definitely coming out against the 4th amendment in this instance, but that is more or less the general sentiment.

edit: Here is one clear example:

http://www.psmag.com/health-and-behavior/women-arent-welcome...

Also, here is a similar article on free speech.

http://m.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/10/the-unsa...

"Under the banner of free speech, companies like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have been host to rape videos and revenge porn — which makes female users feel anything but free."

I say similar because the right to free speech has also traditionally been seen as protecting the rights of minorities, whereas recently we've seen an uptick in folks claiming that free speech mostly protects those with power.
That did the trick. Flipped it to UTF-8 and it works now. I should have noticed that before, but then, I'm not sure why it's defaulting to UTF-16 for CSVs!

I appreciate the UI work, but come on, the simple stuff can't break.
Ironically, teal and orange reached its peak with tranformers. With the rise of RED cameras (which have useless colour reproduction) we've gone the opposite way, low contrast, lots of grain.

This is Tesla's first battery swap station
Essentially this.

Angular may be monolithic and less flexible, but if a young company gets to prototype faster with it and as a result survives to second- and third- funding rounds, they can afford the engineering hours to re-implement their UI from scratch.

Success (and its associated revenue) solves all engineering problems in the long run.
Next time I encounter this, I'll definitely do it. I might still have a file around that's doing it, in which case, I'll give it a send hopefully today or tomorrow. Thanks!

I'll be happy to make a desktop version if users want it. Comment here, reply to this tweet (https://twitter.com/polygenapp/status/560846810735206400 ) or let me know in any way if you're interested.

Edit - And as for "why mobile-first", I wanted to make the app casual and approachable. You can take a photo of your teacup and have a cool low poly version of it in an instant. Or generate a pretty colourful wallpaper with one tap. But I'd love to build a desktop version too. Larger screen and finer control over the pointer would give some new possibilities.

Edit 2 - In case somebody didn't notice, you can generate a wallpaper for your desktop from the mobile app. Just choose a desktop option in the "Size" setting.
