Slightly off topic, but wow - thank you for the Turkish stemmer! There have been a few attempts at this, but I'm not sure if any worked super well. For those who don't know, Turkish is agglutinative (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agglutination) meaning most of the meaning in words are added as suffixes to the words, so stemming is even more crucial and difficult - removing a suffix can completely change the meaning. Example: "Kitap" is "Book" but "Kitaplik" is "Bookshelf" (or more literally "Book-container").

Here it is: https://github.com/skroutz/elasticsearch-analysis-turkishste...
This may sound a bit short but, ask a simple question, get a simple answer. You'll want to negotiate that as a part of the hiring process as you move from contract to hire. Just as you would do with a purely hiring situation.

Do you have some further concern about making this happen?
There is a specific legal requirement for the passenger briefing. You'll notice that the briefing pretty much follows the script required by the law: http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.519
Taxing people who don't vaccinate their children has got to be the easiest way to pour gasoline on the libertarian fire.
MAU includes users who passively consume content and do not post content. Deriving MAU from tweet data alone will vastly underestimate it.
I'm biased, being a family-raising person myself, but I agree.

I'd go much further, but then this comment would be downvoted into oblivion, so I'll stop here.
Slightly off topic, Ubuntu and Redhat are building their own display servers, Mir and Wayland. Why they can't simply use SurfaceFlinger? It should be simpler to add X Server emulation to SurfaceFlinger than to create whole display server from scratch.
Agree that singletons for Flux are bad, but they're totally not necessary (e.g. https://github.com/acdlite/flummox). And if you don't like Flux, don't use it. I don't see how that's can be a demerit against React, since they're completely separate things.
Those laws existed, and most people found them legitimate. If you read the "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" closely, there's one scene where the protagonists see a group of riders, which the old guy, the leader of the gold miners, identifies as physicians that vaccinate all of Mexico against smallpox, by force, if needed: "Just show them your certificate of vaccination, and they will leave you in peace. But if you haven't got on, they'll catch you and vaccinate you."

You don't get the sense the author condemns the practice. It's a strong statement from an anarcho-syndicalist like Traven. At least he was aware of the fact that everyone lives downstream of someone. With today's libertarians you get the strong notion that they imagine each of them living in their own bubble in Low Earth Orbit.
That explains smokers over the age of about 35-40, but what about everyone else? Why did they start?
That's one of the things I like about Ruby DSLs. Because the DSL is just Ruby, you can do things like:

[:foo, :bar].each do |attribute|
attr_reader attribute
end

You probably wouldn't want do actually do that with attr_reader, but it is just an example.
Which is, of course, hardly a comparable proscription.

Nor is it widely adhered to, in colloquial usage.
Nobody buys a compiler to calculate the values generated by the whetstone benchmark[1], everybody already knows the answers.

The point is not to make a mug, the mug is a benchmark. The point is that it takes a nontrivial amount of time, the model readily available, it is repeatable, and it has some very interesting properties WRT complex curves and overhanging structures.

(Like all benchmarks, we can argue from now to forever whether it is a good benchmark.)

TaaS – Trollface as a Service – It's Friday After All
I want to like Factor. I've tried to use it a couple of times, and found at least under OSX that the samples I tried to compile (tetris and one other) didn't actually function.

More relevantly, I feel like Factor has lost the literal relationship between machine and software that is Forth's distinctive contribution. Our processors have drifted away from that mapping as well, though there are of course GreenArrays and a few other stack chips out there.

For a Forth that's pleasant to use and retains that feel, I suggest Retro. The Ngaro virtual machine is pure art, and the additions, particularly the [ and ] quotation words, are thoughtful contributions to the Forth lineage.
> However, the Beeb regularly seems eager to jump to the defense of the powerful rather than scrutinise.

Well, the one time they got a bit too uppity (on the Iraq invasion), their head was literally cut off.

The UK is a funny country. Lots of freedom, but certain powerful interests simply won't be restrained by things like laws or common decency.
Another major difference is that Javascript has trendy things with hype machines.

PHP is not trendy, and there's pretty much no hype around any PHP project.

If you really wanted to get around this you could use method_missing on the class but that can open a can of worms.
I have a running joke with my machine learning friends that I will write a Data Science/ML book titled "A Thousand Ways to Say 'Singular Value Decomposition'". The number of papers and techniques out there that are SVD with a few minor tweaks and a unique philosophical interpretation of SVD is hilarious.

Here are some examples:

Principal Component Analysis - SVD does dimensionality reduction where some n% of variance should be accounted for.

One layer Autoencoder - SVD done by a neural network

Latent Semantic Analysis - SVD on td-idf matrix we interrupt lower dimensions as having semantic importance

Matrix Factorization - SVD only now we interrupt lower dimensions as representing latent variables

Collaborative Filtering - SVD where we interrupt lower dimensions as representing latent variables AND we use a a distance measure to determine similarity.
> I think this can either already, or very soon, be replicated on the web, a platform which holds tremendous advantages that native will likely never be able to catch up to.

Looking at what HTML 5 offers and what any native platform from desktops to mobiles OS offers, I would rather stay with the disadvantages of native platforms.

> while the real momentum is going the other way (native -> Web)

Really?

Is WebGL OpenGL 4.5 compatible already?

What about those sensor APIs?

Oh, which browser is doing OpenCL and CUDA?

Web is stuck in a 90's desktop feature level and it will always be playing catch up native.

The real direction is web -> native/micro-services.
No, the FAs will go to the emergency escape rows and make sure that the passengers are ready to facilitate egress, as they agree to do when they sit in those rows.
That printer is definitely not the flagship from Stratasys. It's actually their 'entry level' product and seems to be aimed at companies who want a printer comparable to consumer ones but with perhaps more durability and better support.

A better comparison would be with the Fortus line which is used in commercial applications for functional products.
Does anyone have a use for a tool to assemble an RPM without using a .spec file and the rpmbuild process? I.e., something that works on a combination of pre-built binaries (in a .tar file) along with a .manifest file?

I was putting something together like that a while ago for packaging up software for internal use, that we get from outside vendors. I can dig it up and throw it on Github if anyone is interested.
They are effective in complying with the relevant law: http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.519 which specifically requires an oral briefing on "when, where, and under what circumstances smoking is prohibited".

Don't fault the airlines for complying with the law.
That looks pretty interesting. Are there any plans to support responsive designs? What I really need (don't we all?) is a unified desktop & mobile code base.
given how shit the MakerBot product line got after the Stratasys acquisition, I'm not in the least surprised. (Cleaning a clogged print-head on a MakerBot Mini voids the warranty).

Prehistoric Grave May Be Earliest Example of Death During Childbirth
yes, it does, but it is more pronounced and more problematic in PHP. the only other language I've ever developed in that had a similar problem was Java, mostly because there are many undergrad CS programs that teach primarily in Java so sifting through the clueless CompSci undergrads asking for homework help got kinda tedious.

Most recently I've been developing in Python with a light touch of Go on the side (for some of our more specialized services that require first class concurrency). The communities of both Python and Go are much more professional and helpful (to me anyway) on average than what I experienced from the PHP community. This is anecdotal of course, but I think a lot of other developers have had similar experiences.

Thanks. I get the feeling that loud music + yelling = increase in adrenaline = drinking more. I also like the privacy angle and perhaps stressed out vocal cords = more soothing drink. I figured it had to be "sales" related since socially, it made no sense (also bias the fact that I am old :-)
No, it's not. The whole fucking point, as you put it, is to test your ability to function in that problem domain. Testing mere regurgitation isn't that useful.

Modern ABS systems work a lot better on snow/ice than older ones. They appear to pulse at an adaptive rate -- if you are on ice/snow they pulse a lot slower than they do on pavement.

But your main point stands: don't wait until you're in an emergency situation to find out if your car can stop well on snow/ice.
> You don't need a special, weird distro to run openbox

I'm aware of this.

> it takes some configuration to be useable

Therein lies the problem. Even Crunchbang's default config is not exactly what I want, but I can go from vanilla #! to :) much faster than from vanilla Debian. I've built up a whole desktop with Debian and openbox before and I learned a lot, but it wasn't too pretty and it took a lot of work. Crunchbang isn't that weird at all, they hardly even package anything but a few skins to make it all look nice, and a few scripts to smooth out some rough spots in Debian. Aside from that, all #! provides for you is time-saving preconfig. I'm not one of those unixporn guys who wants to tweak and tweak their desktop all the time, if it's done well for me I'll use that, and #! is done well.
I'm amazed that it took this long, given that the # is material to how the stock trades. (Look at their volatility on earnings day) Why give thousands of people access to information whose inadvertent release could cause public disclosure problems? (As a public company, material information needs to be released to all investors at the same time) Even an accidental mistake could cause big problems, let alone insider trading.

We know why we chose a PHP for a project, how "bad" PHP is and can weight that against advantages it brings. We already know all the jokes and just do our jobs.

Also, I suspect some people do not get it when we say "it is not 2004 anymore". It REALLY isn't. We see and write this kind of code on daily basis:

https://github.com/symfony/FrameworkBundle/blob/master/Comma...

We do not deal with nightmare cases like this anymore: https://github.com/2b3ez/FileManager4TinyMCE/blob/master/tin...

So, please do not pity us. We know what we use and why.
Yes. Too often this is done even with complex procedures inside methods. A good DSL should be syntactic sugar for making things easy or at least provide some syntactic vinegar for doing non-recommended things (while still allowing them).
It is being stupid.

Note that in the early 1950's, there was a writedown of German debt of around 50%, it was realized that the debt was a burden to development and not realistic to collect.

The Greek regime(s) have been pretty bad but nowhere near the 1933-1945 German regime which caused so much trouble for everyone, especially the Germans.

If they are going to continue with the practices which worked so well with the pre-1933 German regime and in Africa, there is going to be a predictable result. If the Greek leaves the Euro the precedent is set and some day it will be Spain or Italy or France that has to leave. It might be 20 years down the road, but it is inevitable.

I have as low an exposure to Europe in my portfolio because Europe has not has a "financial crisis" like the US, rather it has a financial crisis every few months because it hasn't dealt with the Greece situation realistically. (The scenario is a lot like 1990s Japan which has never recovered)
That's exactly it - last time I checked SLS seemed to be around 5 years behind that of FDM. SLS is also a more complicated process to get good results out of and certain patents for improvements (such as a Nitrogen atmosphere) are yet to expire.

Notospy – the opposite of social networks
>I am not sure I understand. The property tax in the US is the tax on land + additions, both subjects to appraised value, so yes, the rates listed do include both.

Land tax is a tax on a value of unimproved land only [0]

>How would this be sustainable for farmers or ranchers? If they have to radically increase their prices to account for new 30% land value tax, does the society benefit or lose?

Why would it change anything? The land prices would just fall so that the net result would be neutral for average farmer.

>He provided liquidity to the market when somebody was willing to sell that piece of land

Land tax increases liquidity drastically by making it much more expensive to hoard it.

>and then you're back to square one - low tax revenues collected from land owners.

It's not back to square one - it's a situation in which people with more productive use of land can get it much more cheaply. Think of a situation in which a prime residential city land costs one average annual wage.

>People do invest in gold and silver.

People do many weird things.

looks like the only cohort type you can select is acquisition date. mixpanel has more capabilities in this area.
If Debian packages only required a single text file to build everything, they could! It would be simple for the distros to combine their efforts on a single .spec file. Back in the day I used to make RPM .specs that would build the package successfully on Solaris, Linux, Windows, etc and then had tools to convert the RPM into a native package format for easier maintenance. Writing an rpm2dstream script took just a couple hours.
You can likely calibrate past firehose data with past MAU data and then you can use firehose as a predictor. I am sure there are strong correlations between the two.
The anti-vax thing is not a debate, just like the creationism thing is not a debate. It should not be treated as such. It's a question of how to deal with irresponsible acts of able-minded adults threatening childrens health.

Empathy and education may help, but in the end, no deviation from the scientifically proven right way can be allowed, lest children be threatened by diseases we've conquered decades ago.

So inform and educate to the extent possible. Then if that fails, sue them for parental neglect and passive biological warfare or whatever.

This is creationism/"intelligent design" all over, but with real consequences in the real world. I'm prepared to accept a lot of relatively harmless idiocy, but this is where I pull the line. And I think John Rawls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rawls#The_Original_Positio... ) would agree with me.
>FRP is based around the idea of declarative components, but a lot of developers have an aversion to it because of the academic aura around it.

Not just that. I may be stupid but personally I find it mentally simpler to `setState` than to `flatMapLatest`. To each their own I suppose.

>React's innovation is using virtual DOM to make declarative components usable without delving into FRP.

Precisely.

>The "declarative component model" is not an innovation, it's an obvious approach [..] can achieve the same [..] by [..] obviously doesn't perform and has some edge cases where it breaks things (textboxes, for example), but the idea is the same

React is not an academic paper, it's a tool. It doesn't need to have new ideas, it needs to execute on them in a practical way. Which it does.
Those look a bit bulky for use by police or military in the field. You would need to miniaturize down to an in-ear version. Then you need to add very generous padding in your procurement contract.

If an over-the-ear tech is available for civilians for $70, I would guess that an in-ear police/military version is $850, with an upsell option to integrate with your existing radio communications system for only $1150 per pair. I'd also call it "active hearing protection system" and never, ever refer to them as "earplugs".

That's comparable with a good hearing aid, only because the health insurance payments system is superficially similar to government procurement contracting with respect to profiteering middlemen.

Again, this is only a guess, made without supporting data by someone who owns a foil hat.
As a father and fan of live music:

I get cranky when I see kids without ear protection, especially toddlers and younger, who have no control or way to escape.

I make a point of praising the parents who put ear muffs on their infants.
I'm faulting the actual presentation and behavior, regardless of who is ultimately to blame. If the law requires wasting everyone's time and attention with so much no smoking signs, then it's probable it wastes effort on other things, too.

I don't understand how/why a publicly traded company like Twitter should be allowed to hide such an important piece of data from the public and from shareholders?
Seconded. The company I used to work for had stories of a gong on the sales floor that would sound when someone made a sale. Once they were publicly listed, though, the gong went away, since anyone on the floor would have an idea of sales for that month and therefore be subject to insider trading.

I immediately concluded that being in a publicly traded company is boring. I work for a school now. :)
In addition to this, the firehose license almost certainly includes 96 pt font printed in blood-on-asbestos specifically enumerating "publishing aggregate statistics" as one of the things you're not allowed to do with the data, on pain of a breach of contract suit with damages measured in percentage points of Google's market cap.
Windows might be okay if you're comfortable being part of the Windows ecosystems. I for one am not eager to get back into Microsoft's walled garden again. Their user-hostile baked-in DRM is not something I'm interested in supporting.

It's less to do with hiding data from the public and more along the lines of controlling the data so that no one in the company gets it before the public (and thus allowing said person inside the company to trade company stock on insider information).

Can the USB3.1 port both host peripherals and receive charge at the same time? Because I know that's always the challenge with USB2 that you're either functioning as host or client, and hosts control peripherals while clients receive power... when a "docking-station" scenario involves the host receiving power from the client (impossible with USB2). USB2 ports can switch between host and client, but they can't do both at once like that.

i was born in 72 in USSR. Roughly half my family, like grandmother & grandfather, 2 uncles and an aunt lived in a "kolhoz" and "sovhoz" near by. We visited frequently and i spent some summers there. I also worked at a "sovhoz" the summer after 6th grade. There wasn't making up of the stuff. There were a lot of inefficiencies, low productivity - manual labor instead of machines - and bad organization - typical slice of USSR economy.

I think you're missing the point. The question is not whether it's effective for a business to exclude the unvaccinated. The question is whether it's legal, or perhaps whether it's morally acceptable. AFAIK yes it is, and it should stay that way for the exact same "get the government off everyone's back" reason that people use to resist a vaccination mandate. Businesses of all types should have that freedom, and IMO they should use it.
If you don't mind me asking, how big is your iPhoto Library? With large file sizes these days, it takes no time to generate a huge iPhoto Library. Also, when you add a photo into iPhoto Library, it automatically generates more copies of the file with smaller sizes, thus increasing the size of iPhoto Library very fast.

I strongly recommend using "iPhoto Buddy' (free) or "iPhoto Library Manager" ($20) to divide iPhoto library into smaller libraries.

Also, I read somewhere that not all SSDs in Apple laptops are the same. Some are from samsung and some are from Toshiba. And supposedly Toshiba ones are much slower than Samsung ones and someone claimed it was barely faster than a mechanical HD.

But anyhow, the point is you should at least use "iPhoto Buddy' (free) or "iPhoto Library Manager" ($20). Or even better, I recommend using the howto I posted in this same thread.
