This is an excellent point that made me think. Perhaps you could examine through how the data is collected. You could hypothesise that the mean age of death is affected by non-testosterone increased aging such as murder by a jealous lover. These would pull down that average, where as the mode might show the more the 'typical' lifespan.

However you might also hypthesise that high levels of testosterone might cause you to engage in behaviors that would make make other people want to kill you! Also including other risky behaviors such as driving fast this could also be a direct effect of testosterone.

A very interesting thought!

Software support, not hardware. Patches, etc. RedHat is pretty much the only distro maker that will provide software support for the same timeframe as Windows releases are supported. Ubuntu, you'd have gone through the compatibility testing, upgrade testing, migration, etc cycle at least once more often than Windows, and deployments for anyone with custom software get expensive fast.
It really is less of an antipattern in PHP than other languages. With every request being its own process you don't have to worry about singletons as much, and as long as it's easy to swap with mocks/fakes/whatever it's all good.
>I don't think so. If testosterone is the culprit for increased risk of coronary artery disease, prostate cancer and sleep apnea, then doing things that naturally increase testosterone will increase risk also.

True- BUT many of those things mentioned to be thought to improve Testosterone above are also known to reduce risks that are associated with Testosterone itself (heart disease, etc). So there may be some net balancing at play here?

>Don't succumb to the naturalistic fallacy. The body doesn't care where it gets its chemicals from.

This is true in the immediate, but consuming things your body synthesizes (ex. testosterone, cholesterol) will often reduce the rate at which your body synthesizes it... Your body is a complex system with many feedback loops.

The trailer video was produced by Laura Kaltman. We scripted/wrote it together, and iterated it many times. Laura wanted to make a 16:9 HD video, but the iPad is 4:3, so many of the video captures were done with a special developer Mac version of the app configured to output at a much higher resolution and with custom screen layouts. (The Mac version, otherwise, looks identical—all the same GLSL shaders and GL code.) This enabled us to get big, high quality video for use in the trailer. Storyboards were vital for conceiving, refining, and communicating about the script. These were made in illustration programs.

Having watched Laravel 5 throughout development, I'm personally unhappy with the fact that most of the nice features of Laravel have been removed.

For example, the default version of Laravel 4.x shipped with the "Whoops" PHP stack trace view, which is far superior to the L5-default Symfony stack trace view. Other features were removed too, including the HTML library. Blade tags were changed for no reason.

Overall, it feels like instead of adding requested features, Taylor decided to redesign the architecture for no reason.

The button is almost invisible,
it needs to stand out a lot more,
needs to contrast with the blue

2.- the font choice

Maybe people don't like the font?

The font is hard to read, not friendly, gets tiring.

The best font for reading printed matter: Serifs (i.e. Garamond, Gentium)

The best font for online reading: Sans Serifs (Helvetica, Arial, etc)

You need to make font samples: print the same page 6 times, each one using a different font, like this:

> Quantum mechanics is correct. Always, always, always use Quantum mechanics!!! Newtonian mechanics is obsolete!

Okay, so when we talk about use we are talking about tools. A lot of the tools we got from Newtonian mechanics are pretty reasonably accurate. If I see a ball bounces 3 feet when I drop it from 5 feet up, there's no reason to use anything particularly fancy to guess how high it will bounce if dropped from 10 feet. These are simpler tools I can use, and they may not be great (gravity is weaker at ten feet, for instance, so it's clear I'd be wrong to some extent, forget my ignoring just about every pertinent detail of the ball), but it works. Right tool for the job doesn't need to be fancy.

> You make it look like QM is a special case of NM, while in reality, QM describes all the phenomena that NM does, not the other way around; NM is a special case of QM.

Quantum Mechanics is continuous and differentiable at all points, including in descriptions of e.g. mass. To make Newtonian Mechanics a special case, you'd (at the very least) have to put some gnarly integrals in place of almost every variable in your formulas. They don't _really_ agree, one isn't a subset of another. One is an approximation (and not even specifically of Quantum Mechanics, just an approximation of things-seen-on-earth, some of which have compelling quantum mechanical stories, some of which, like gravity, don't). And sometimes approximations are useful.
I have some experience consulting with one of these companies, and I know they understand the importance of moving past paper and into things like tablets and ereaders. It's perhaps their primary focus to transition to new tech without confusing existing customers.

I agree it's a good idea for both companies. There's a perception that's perhaps unfair that these companies are complacent relying on paper and ink. These kinds of things are important to their current business, but both companies are more forward-thinking than most people give them credit for.
No last mile unbundling: does it mean that every operator has to deploy its own cable from street to home?
FUD.

The "architecture" change is the bootstrap repository, which has a new folder structure. I know, scary stuff! Folders!

The "architecture" has some enhancements to middleware and fleshing out events/commands to a "command bus". Basically, you get more sugar on top of the (mostly) same architecture.

Whoops caused a lot of headaches behind the scenes, and did stupid things like convert ALL http error responses to 500, even on a 404 error (which showed up in Whoops, as HTTP errors are converted to exceptions within Symfony's HTTP stack).

Blade tags have one new tag, and the old ones still works.

This point might be the subjective one - HTML library. HTML libraries create an enormous amount of support for people's edge cases and generally are better pushed out as a third-party add on to suit your needs. The upgrade guide explains how you can add them back in if you want. https://github.com/illuminate/html

Out of curiosity, presumably your mother knew she had defective mitochondria so why did she elect to have children?
It's not true though.

The Newtonian model is wrong in some very important ways. Not just 'not quite right' but 'fundamentally in error.'

The fact that gives good-enough answers for a whole class of problems is misleading. So did the old theory of planetary epicycles.

Relativity and Quantum Field Theory use different models which give accurate predictions for a much wider class of problems. But the models make the difference. The math comes afterwards.

It's true if you make some simplifying assumptions in the equations they reduce to Newtonian mechanics. (Well - relatively does. QFT is weirder. Part of it reduces to plain vanilla Maxwell, but it also includes forces and interactions Maxwell never had to worry about.)

That doesn't mean the Newtonian model is just as good. It means it's been demoted to a simpler toy model you can use for certain problem - as long as you understand it's just a toy.

Science is really about model making, not math or approximation. The math just gives you ways to use a conceptual model for practical predictions.

The concepts behind the model always come first. And the concepts underlying GR and QFT are much richer and more explanatory than the concepts underlying Newtonian mechanics.

Sooner or later there's going to be another update, and relativity and QFT will be demoted in turn. But they'll be demoted by another conceptual revolution expressed in math, not by more math based on the same concepts.

That's exactly what I want though. "Folder display preferences" are a thing that pertain to exactly one instance of one operating system. If I want to share "folder displays" to a different computer (which seems rather unnecessary), that seems like an explicit action I might take between the two computers, and all that metadata should be a single bundled file that is transferred between machines. Not per-directory metadata that is bundled into my filesystem everywhere.
Wikipedia's list of unsolved problems in physics [0] includes problems that aren't "no data we can't explain" and "we can't test it yet". They're more like "we expect that the theory can explain observation X, but we don't know how yet" and "we don't know what the theory predicts for situation Y". For example:

- Mechanism for baryon asymmetry

- Mechanism for ultra high energy cosmic rays

- Mechanism of high temp superconductors

- Black hole information paradox

- Finding solutions to the Schrodinger equation in various situations

You might mean something very specific when you say "Fundamental physics" though.

What do you gain there?

People that moved to Hangouts aren't available on GTalk (the xmpp part). I run my own XMPP server, people that have ancient Android 2.x mobiles and don't buy into the G+ nonsense can talk to me. People with more modern systems/that 'upgraded' to Hangout cannot.

Since my server cannot magically filter these people I came to the conclusion that Google _doesn't_ support xmpp, federation or not, for most of their users anymore.

(If you manage to access GTalk again, for example by running the GTalk thingy in GMail/the browser, you can talk to me again. I've got a hard time making my friends do that to contact me)

For all intents and purposes Google's XMPP support is broken.
Make the parents field a list without fixed length, ordered by fraction of donor genes. Include exceptions for specific gene identifiers from a different mix of donors.

The default case would therefore be [[0.5 Mom, 0.5 Dad], [mDNA:1.0 Mom]] for girls, and [[0.5 Mom, 0.5 Dad], [mDNA:1.0 Mom], [23X: 1.0 Mom], [23Y: 1.0 Dad]] for boys.

For clones, it would be [[1.0 Nuclear Donor],[mDNA:1.0 Egg Donor]].

For parthenogenesis, it would be [[1.0 Mom]].

For the new UK case, it would be [[0.5 Mom, 0.5 Dad],[mDNA:1.0 Egg Donor],...].

If, for some reason, a cloned baby had the Bt pesticide genes inserted, it would be [[1.0 Nuclear Donor],[mDNA:1.0 Egg Donor],[[Cry1A.105, CryIAb, CryIF, Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb1, Cry34Ab1, Cry35Ab1, mCry3A, VIP]:1.0 Bacillus thuringiensis],...].

I guess for example that the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3004394 Win7 fiasco comes from the update being only tested on machines with test roots installed, right? And Win8.0/Server2012 seems to be treated as second class with more than one bug affecting only that one, which reminds me of the odd support lifecycle where the server edition was treated as an older release but the client edition get treated as a older service pack.
I made something similar many years ago: https://github.com/mikz/rProxy

I went with this approach because I wanted to use it with Opera Mini and it had no support for normal proxy protocol.

Why I wanted to send all my traffic through yet different proxy? Simply, I wanted to change the web app I was using to find bus connections so it had bookmarks and could remember where is my home, so I don't have to type it over and over again.

So I made this XML transformation language that behaved quite like jQuery so I could move elements on the site and have some state between requests.

They have more lax regulations about some things, but apparently civil aviation is extremely tightly regulated, with most of the country set aside for military aviation (James Fallows has written about this). I'm sure they'd be wary of all their civilians runnings drones, filming things that shouldn't be seen, etc as well.
The Flux fragmentation makes this hard to talk about. The examples I've seen from Facebook all use global singletons. There are some libraries/implementations that work correctly, but it's hard to know how widely used those are.

I guess the high order bit for me is that developers shouldn't have to worry about stuff like this—picking the "right" implementation of their app architecture. Ideally, everything just works out of the box. The harder it is to do, the less likely people are to do it.
That's fantastic of you - thank you! I'll take a look later. :-)

Your comment harmonizes with the word on the 'street' from in-person conversations from MS employees & people who know them. Testing as a role evidently has been disintegrated and QA turned into SDEs in general. I believe the goal is to force quality onto the developers responsibility instead of making it QA's responsibility.

We'll see how that plays out; it sounds like the first iteration has been brutal.
