Here's a wonderful description by Henry Poincaré (Science et Méthode, 1908) of how mathematics can indeed be done by parts of your brain you are not aware of:

"À ce moment, je quittai Caen, où j'habitais alors, pour prendre part à une course géologique entreprise par l'Ecole des Mines. Les péripéties du voyage me firent vite oublier mes travaux mathématiques ; arrivés à Coutances, nous montâmes dans un omnibus pour je ne sais quelle promenade ; au moment où je mettais le pied sur le marchepied, l'idée me vint, sans que rien dans mes pensées mathématiques parût m'y avoir préparé, que les transformations dont j'avais fait usage pour définir les fonctions fuchsiennes étaient identiques à celles de la géométrie non euclidienne."

An English translation:

"At that time, I left Caen, where I was then living, to take part in a geological excursion under the School of Mines. The vicissitudes of the journey made ​​me quickly forget my mathematical work; reached Coutances, we entered an omnibus to drive somewhere; when I set foot on the step it occurred to me, without anything in my mathematical thoughts having prepared me for it, that the transformations I had used to define the Fuchsian functions were identical to those of non-Euclidean geometry."
I agree. The problem is Ubuntu is too popular, so you get many "mainstream" users responding with really nasty hacks to make things work rather than fixing things properly.

Arch linux (actually I use a spin off called Manjaro) seems to be a lot better in that regard.
Flipboard addresses the accessibility issue in their article. While moving to canvas limits it for now, at least they are making an effort to incorporate it, which is more than can be said for most sites.
BTW, given that it's GGJ game, there should be source code somewhere available (all Global Game Jam entries have to provide source code and all assets on CC BY-NC-SA or compatible license).

This is arguably true for most writers I think. Not all writing types, of course, but for many. I created an iOS app around this very topic if you're interested, it's fittingly called: Prompts.
Their use model is specifically on mobile devices, and it is certainly true that many sites run absolutely abysmally on smartphones/tablets. While these devices are powerful, they're still weak compared to most of our desktop machines.

Flipboard spent an enormous amount of effort making a rendering to canvas platform, humorously to allow an "open" option aside from their app (which makes the complaint about it in the submission rather perplexing). I suspect they did a lot of analysis. And the DOM is notoriously slow, one of the reasons being that it is now a catch all/everything and the sink platform that has an enormous number of modifiers -- the flexibility that we hail is also what leads to engine slowdown. We need a new, simpler layout standard that simplifies all of the various sidepaths and diversions that got built into the standard.
People learn about this stuff, and can often end up over-extrapolating it. For every story of it doing something astonishing and powerful, an observant person can find it doing something blitheringly stupid when examined by the cold light of reason. It may be true that your subconscious is more powerful than naive ideas would lead you to believe, but flipping to the opposite idea that it must be brilliant and the conscious mind extraneous or unimportant is merely the complementary naive idea. The conscious mind may be riding the elephant, but the rider still exerts a lot of important influence over the elephant.
Amazon Giveaway Marketing Results and Advice
81 is a reasonably good innings, slightly above the average for the US, and just about the average for the UK (Sacks is British-American, I believe) - one wouldn't describe dying at that age as a particularly early or premature death.

I think it's hard to separate that intrinsic fact from his stoicism on the subject, impressive though it is. I'm sure it's not easy at any age to face your impending demise, but knowing you've led a pretty long and very successful life perhaps makes it an easier pill to swallow. And, to be a little cynical, we're reading this in a column in The Gray Lady - perhaps he's terrified on the inside but putting on a brave face for the public, either to keep up appearances or to be a source of inspiration for others.

Seems like this would be a good day to re-watch "Awakenings"...
True - and hopefully you'll keep that up with your new site/app once marketers, CFOs, and investors get involved, I think that's when things start growing walls and controls. As soon as someone mentions "monetization," hopefully it's only explored as charging your users a reasonable rate for a good service.

To me, your concerns are actually the biggest learning and takeaway. I learned and am learning programming completely on my own without peers so it's difficult to understand where I stand. I watched and still am watching this kind of videos to see how others are thinking and approaching problems and reinforce that there probably aren't genius programmers out there who just bang out code without mistakes, errors and iteration. Without it I always felt bad / inadequate as it's easy to fall into that way of thinking and constantly second-guess myself. I find it immensely helpful and don't really understand why some people here are so quick in dismissing it as not useful. But I can see how under different circumstances, say, learning programming in school or otherwise with peers or mentors involved, it's easy to forget that this might play a significant role in feeling comfortable with where you are and how you're doing.
Some EULAs basically say "you give permission for us to access and modify any data in your system"... this is the first example that comes to mind:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PunkBuster

These agreements could be summed up in 3 words: "we own you".
That's feasible. It still strikes me as odd that even if Apps Gmail is indeed on different infrastructure that it would have a completely different API. All other Gmail clients (web,app,etc) work on Apps Gmail, in addition to vanilla IMAP.

I'd feel a lot better if they'd just explain what the hold up was, or if they don't plan on expanding to Apps customers. I'd be disappointed but at least I wouldn't be completely in the dark.
Thumbs up for Manjaro from me.

Its a bit more faff to set up than Ubuntu, but has way less error messages and problems. Likewise I have been "downgrading" my desktop since Ubuntu started with Unity. Reached XFCE, and I am pretty happy with that these days.
I say Fedora, it's the easiest Mac (EFI) install that always works and it's packages are constantly upgraded, closest to a rolling-release you can get without having to work some magic.

I use it on a MBP2011 and it runs flawslelly, I currently setup my computers with Ansible. If you want as a rough guide you can check out what I did specifically for the MBP on my Ansible playbook here:

Also, give it a look at the common-workstation role where I setup some defaults for my desktop computers like font rendering, apps and so on:

Errata Security: Extracting the SuperFish Certificate
Facial attractiveness is predicted by parental income during childhood
Sending packets with strings which are commonly known to cause serious problems if systems are vulnerable to well-known exploits should not be a crime. If your system solicits users to input their private data and is vulnerable to easy attack vectors or common exploits like basic SQL injection, you are the one who should be charged.

So, the only problem left is how to establish your standing to sue the lazy vendor. It is a problem since you can't actually bring them up on negligence charges if you were not actually damaged.

Well, if picking the lock is thus illegal per your analogy, then the only way to have standing would be to first submit yourself to potential unknown harm and wait for the day when a bad hacker comes!

I think your analogy falls down too, because a brick-and-mortar storefront holds its own assets and is liable (or insured) for their own losses in the event of theft. You rarely store your own private things inside a brick and mortar storefront. If you did and they are stolen, the store would normally be liable and reimburse you.

People store their private data "in the cloud" all the time, but because of arcana in law which does not correctly distinguish between pulling on the handle and picking the lock, they are not allowed to check and see if the cloud-monger actually locks the door when he goes home at night?
Been playing it for a couple of years now. Not sure how much of that was beta but it's definitely older than 6 months.
another great interview! I really enjoy all of nautil.us articles and am very happy Scott did one. I of course recommend all of Scotts essays, including "Why philosophers should care about computational complexity theory" [1] that was submitted to HN recently with some great discussion.

Also, I highly recommend another one of their ingengious series: David Deutsch [2]

5 stays or 15 nights in a year at Hyatt and you get Platinum status which includes free wifi (though Hyatt just made wifi free at all their properties). At Hilton it's 20 stays or 40 nights for gold but you can find a fast-track offer and get that status after 4 stays, or just hold certain credit cards (plus free breakfast, gym access, some upgrades, etc).

Then perhaps rather I should say before anybody knew about it. Fair enough. The world was not running on Unicode until well after this site was established.
using material design specs for creating a user-friendly webix ui
>Looks good for the basics, but as some other folks mentioned here, it would benefit from some articles about design, and even more importantly, rationale.

I agree about rationale, but probably in a different way. For a great many people, especially in the "data analyst camp" (i.e., people coming from finance/consulting background with mind-blowing Excel skills), SQL is not something they want to learn in the vacuum but more like necessary evil. For them, it's hugely valuable to learn how and why SQL can be useful.

http://blog.treasuredata.com/2014/12/05/learn-sql-by-calcula... is my humble attempt to address that issue, and it seems to have resonated well with the data analyst type folks.

Just offering a non-programmer's perspective.
That's the version of the story I heard as well...to put a little bit more context, because the plane was quite expensive, typically the people who could afford to get one would be in a high paying profession. Anecdotally, the chat around pilot circles was also that the mental attitude of highly successful professionals - such as Doctors - gave an air of confidence that wasn't earned when it came to airplanes. As in, too self assured, and when it was time to trust the instruments or go down, the latter happened a lot more than the former.

Side note: I haven't seen the number in a while, but supposedly the Dodge Viper was one of the most lethal cars when purchased new, in that it had so much performance that its inexperienced driver would get into trouble very quickly (as in, within weeks / a month of purchase). This was from quite a while ago, and I think several companies started including driving courses or 'limited performance' aspects to their flagship vehicles to prevent this kind of reputation (ex: 'Valet Key' or a specific dongle to unlock full potential).
So there's Graylog, then there's Graylog2, then there's the new-and-improved Graylog.... If someone forks it will there be a new-and-improved Graylog2?
Using Google Cloud Platform for Security Scanning

It's not entirely separate, as the abstract of it says: "This specification is an alternative to, but does not obsolete, the HTTP/1.1 message syntax. HTTP's existing semantics remain unchanged."
I disagree. I love C#/LINQ, but after a couple years of Linq2SQL and EF, I'm back to preferring raw SQL via Dapper. I think it's simply a better programming model.
AFAIK canvas is an open standard. the OP is like someone criticizing a website that chose to use canvas over svg to display graphs,because canvas isn't accessible. It has nothing to do with using Open standards or not.
Why is it weird? You can't simply mine the private data of paying customers which is needed for Google Now.
When is it coming to the google apps? I recently switched my main email to the google apps and was excited for google inbox, but I still can not use it because it is disabled for us.
I think a lot of e-commerce sites have figured out the same thing with free delivery. I don't know why but I feel it myself as a customer.. if I pay the price I see and don't end up having all extra charges tacked on at the end, I'm more likely to hit Buy than try and search for the same item on Amazon or wherever.

FWIW, as someone who works online and is a YouTube junkie, I would happily pay for Internet at a hotel if it were actually good. It's a very rare occasion I can get a good connection and don't end up using my 3G instead. Merely getting the equivalent of a regular DSL connection would make me happily stump up a good $10-20 but it's NEVER that good.
Is this an ActiveRecord thing? We use FactoryGirl and DataMapper at our site and we can just use the build hooks all over. When DataMapper saves an object it saves the entire tree, which means that when FactoryGirl creates the object the process looks like this:

1. Instantiate a new, unsaved User
2. Instantiate a new, unsaved Weapon and assign to the User
3. Save the user
4. Save cascades and saves the Weapon
Good advice, except: "1. Just sit down, decide on an IDE - vim will do, even!"

"I find it very hard to believe that the three letter agencies have such a shortage of netsec professionals that they offer jobs to untrustworthy computer criminals and script kiddies."

How many of those "netsec professionals" would be willing to test their skills against "Mexican drug cartels and local government figures accepting bribes from drug traffickers"? Screw up, or just have the notoriously inept FBI screw up, and you're very messily dead.
Just to reinforce it, HTTP/2 is not a replacement for HTTP/1.1. It's an optimization for a few very important use cases, but it does not support most of the different ways HTTP is used everywhere.

Even for the cases it optimizes, one's recommended to verify if there's really any performance enhancement after deploying it, because there are several variables that could make it worse.
Generate and Recognize Barcode Using Aspose for Cloud iOS SDK
I had the opposite experience. I managed to go through my entire 5 years worth of old emails and get down to inbox zero.

I love the snooze and pin features. The Android app is awesome. Swip to archive is such a nice way to deal with email, which (in my case) is 90% scan and bin. The web app isn't so awesome, mainly because of the lack of gestures.

Reminders added in Google Now show up in Inbox as well so I can be walking down the road and remember I need to do something tomorrow, and just add it to Google Now just by talking into my phone. 9 times out of ten I don't even have to spell correct the narrated text.

Inbox was the one single reason for me not dumping Gmail for Fastmail, which I was planning to do for privacy reasons.
I am typing this on Mint just now.

The Cinnamon UI is nice to look at, and doesn't seem to be aimed at tablet users (this does my head in - I am sure 90% of people work at a desktops all day, not a tablet). But I found it would randomly start hogging the CPU and I never worked out why.

I am on XFCE now, and its fast and stable (though doesn't look quite a pretty).
So... it runs in a JVM? ok....
Sexual Taboo Survey Results
I recently stayed at a Starwood property and the wifi fee was approaching 10% of the overall price of the stay.

I would not have needed it but the t-mobile network coverage was very poor inside the hotel.
I like the goal of the article, I think it does a great job of refactoring a typical-looking method with too many responsibilities into a reasonably decomposed system. I also really like Fowler's technique of strict refactoring augmented with tests.

However, I don't think his articles (like this one) do a very good job of teaching that technique. While reading, I don't know where the code is headed (maybe I need to read the end first?), so I don't have a good frame of reference to understand each intermediate step, or the rationale for choosing it. He presents a refactoring (complete with link), but doesn't explain what leads him to choose that refactoring at this particular stage.

On Blooms Taxonomy, I don't feel like this article even gets me to the Applicative stage, at least for the intermediate refactoring steps.

On a different note, I was surprised that the YoutubeConnection still contained the fields to retrieve (the 'part' parameter). Once he color coded the initial state, I expected to see that list of response fields to be extracted into a parameter. On the other hand, the way the final code is structured, it would be provided by the VideoService, which doesn't seem right either.
I really like the Inbox app. It's email workflow directly matches how I've managed my email for the longest time. That said, it's missing one big important feature for a lot of us power users: a unified inbox.

I get a lot of email through the day and I need to get through it quickly. I also have 4 active email accounts. Having to constantly juggle the UI to switch between these accounts is a productivity killer and annoyance.

I get it, some people don't want and/or need the unified inbox and it can be dangerous in the wrong hands. I'm not that person.

Dropbox's Mailbox app is a nice alternative (it's what I currently use). I feel the Inbox app is better constructed, but Mailbox has the features I need today and it works.
There is a Game Development channel where you can see people developing games. There is also one for Music but I haven't looked at it and it is in beta.
Indeed, the point of that message is essentially "HTTP/2 is an entirely new protocol, you can support HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 or both, but they have nothing to do with each other".
How Alohar hopes to 'fingerprint' the way you walk for new authentication tool
Right, I remember this and when the Huwai stuff came out. The typical anti-western loudmouths said it was protectionism. Now the very same loudmouths are back-peddling and assuring us that this was a simple oversight and there's no way any of this could ever be tied to the CCP. Its incredible how anything that happens in the US is a NSA plot but a fucking MITM shipped on millions of chinese laptops? Oh just a mistake from a junior dev, nothing to see here guys.

I sometimes wonder if autocratic regimes are so image focused that they've seeded popular forums with stooges.
Chemotherapy does not work on this type of cancer. The best treatments, with the exception of one semi-annual treatment, give 2 days of fatigue and that's about it. The physical torture is not there, only the mental torture of having a terminal illness. Additionally, this cancer does not cause your health to degrade until the very end.

You're right about it depending on the person though. There is just a lot of misconception about this particular cancer, which is why I commented about it.
Cleveland Clinic, Cox Partner to Deliver Telehealth and Home Health Solutions
Inbox is amazing. However, at some point the Android app started constantly crashing (even while being in the background) and now I have it crash every 30 seconds and no clue what's going on. Anyone else seen similar behaviour?
As a frequent critic of arbitrary & misleading data visualizations... I love it. It's a nice, compact way of showing off the data:

- it shows a 40x+ range without transformations that might muddle the story

- it captures the long, flat tail (partly an artifact of the artificial $1B floor), which compacts nicely

- the "focus" of the data is on the top quartile, which is permitted to dominate the visual
