>The graphene technology was developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is thought to make the touch screens more sensitive and prolong battery life by at least 50%.

With no real sources or other supporting information, nothing much from Google, and wild claims like that with no details on what a 'graphene based smartphone' even means, it seems like PR hot air, a gimmick, or both.
No need to state the obvious :) Otherwise I would also add: you need a monitor to use it.

HelloSprout – Organic Non-GMO Seed Kits
Just asked it where Allen Field House is... got this:

"I don't have a good sense of navigation, so I don't know exactly where is allen field house, but it seems to be interesting."

I was expecting it to spit out "Lawrence, Kansas", but I liked the response nonetheless.

On an unrelated note, have you considered adding like a little spinner or loading icon or something? Although you clearly state it'll take 30ish sections for a response, I can't help but think that I'm staring at a blank page when I'm sure there's a lot going on in the background. Even if it's purely cosmetic, a "loading" icon might serve to show that 1) something is happening, and 2) make 30 seconds seem shorter since we're looking at something dynamic versus static.
>We have the CLA to ensure this we're on the right side of copyright law.

I appreciate that. I think you have good intentions. The author of the article is Bradley Kuhn, who works at the Software Freedom Conservancy. He's an expert when it comes to the legal aspects surrounding free software projects, so perhaps having a conversation with him about the CLA would be a worthwhile experience.

Not just maintaining, but upgrading too. Imagine never needing to update your computer again from both software and hardware perspective.
Note that this use of conventional URI structure patterns does have the value you describe, but is also completely orthogonal to REST (REST isn't about beautiful URIs -- the path part of the URI could all be UUIDs and you could follow the REST architectural style perfectly; HATEOAS, in particular, means that other than the entry point, your URIs should all be coming to you from other documents with their context in that document telling you what they are, so you don't need to parse the URI for meaning.)

There's no WSDL or .thrift -equivalent for discovery, and no autogenerated client code which makes use harder. Getting up and running is slower because you have no way to validate that your messages are well-formed short of throwing them at the server and seeing what it sends back. What criteria are you seeing REST as better on?
That doesn't sound particularly out of line for western cuisine, at least if you look at traditional food, rather than hamburgers. A typical "classic" French dish takes about 4-8 hours in total to prepare all the sauces and meats and such. Even just properly browning onions takes 30-45 minutes, and that's a pre-cooking phase in many French dishes. I've been learning Greek cuisine lately and it's similar, e.g. melitzanosalata (a common side dish / spread) takes 60-90 minutes or so, and has to be done before preparing the main meal unless you have multiple ovens.
I hope all the backends are written in JS and run in the browser.

Thank you for the feedback, I haven't implemented any algorithm for parsing (splitting sentences between queries), but it's definitely on my to-do list. :)
You're right that you can at least use Perforce as the underlying database, but "worked great" is subjective.

The concept of version control is much more integrated into the UX of the Unreal tools, with things like visual diff/merge support for assets built in.

Additionally, one of Unreal's killer features for scaling collaboration up with larger teams is the idea of editing a map in multiple distinct layers which are composed at runtime. This means you can have someone working on audio in the audio layer, someone working on collisions in the collision layer, someone working on lights in the lighting layer... all in parallel. If you tried that in Unity, all you'd end up with is a binary blob with a merge conflict, and n-1 people having wasted their time.
I know enough about graphene to say that the OP is content-less clickbait. There really isn't much more to say about it. Looking up research papers about graphene for each application would be a good way to get some insight into what it can potentially help with.

SPIR-V: Intermediate Language for Graphical Shaders and Compute Kernels [pdf]
SEEKING FREELANCER -

We're a group of researchers / students working on an analytics platform. The backend of our platform is built in Flask and C++/R.

We're seeking a developer(s) to develop a standalone front end of the app (that makes API calls to the Flask backend).

We require:

- Knowledge of a modern Javascript framework / some founded opinion on which should be used.

- Knowledge of d3.js / Knowledge of data visualization in Javascript

- Experience building dashboard/admin style web apps

- Experience with Flask would be a bonus

We're "technical" in the sense that we have extensive experience with scientific programming / algorithm development / machine learning. We have a basic understanding of Flask. We want to work with someone someone who understands that some parts of the codebase cannot be shared - hence the need for an independent "front end" app that makes API calls. We understand that this may not be an orthodox way to work so patience/understanding are a must.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, email us at: btydee@gmail.com
Whatever happened to that shipping box thing the military was evaluating a few years ago that was going to revolutionize everything?
The industry expects a large number of fracking companies to go bust if oil stays under 60$. Traditional wells are generally profitable at 1/3 that price. Worse, fracking has a lot of up-front cost in oil exploration and wells are there not useful nearly as long so expect US production to fall quickly over the next few years.

The good news is at ~100-150$ it’s profitable to directly manufacture oil, but the price needs to stay there for years before companies will do the kind of investments needed to meet current demand.

PS: Oddly enough, on average extracting oil and turning it into gasoline is already a net negative in terms of energy due to all the extraction, transportation, and refining costs.
Yes, your advice is sound for the general case but inapplicable in this specific incarnation of the problem.
Yup. I spent less time learning in total how git works than I have spent trying to figure out workable branch merging in svn.

(For the latter, I ended up developing scripts that worked with patches as first class objects, so that e.g. every bug fix that needed to be applied on multiple branches would actually live in a patch file as my personal way of tracking a unit of work.)

As to distribution, I spent 5 years as a remote developer working for a CA company from London. 200+ms round trips and occasional VPN weirdness meant painful sessions with svn. Having a local repo is excellent. Large binaries that constantly change are still a problem though.

Essentially, our daughter is much more likely to partake in an activity (be it eating her veggies or anything else) if she feels like it was her idea to do so. I'm not entirely sure if it's the choice aspect, or the preparation aspect (in other words, that she knows in advance what to expect).

We're careful to emphasize the sanctity of personal choice wherever we can, and to encourage her to make her own decisions based on an evaluation of her options (really, we're fine with her picking any of the menu options we give her; if she picks a gross combination it's hers to eat, not ours). The important thing seems to be that once she makes a decision, she becomes invested in it and is much more likely to see it through.

I probably shouldn't discount the preparation aspect, however. She eats much more of her lunch when she helps to prepare it (and thus knows what to expect when she opens it at school). Similarly, we have a countdown for bed ('bedtime in t-5 minutes! Bedtime in t-2 minutes!') that makes the transition to nighttime more or less painless.
Those were my exact thoughts.

I would like to see whether mother tongue has an effect on preference. Languages with lots of compounding (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_(linguistics) such as German and Dutch or languages without many spaces such as Classical Latin and Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics and, sort-of, Chinese and Japanese might make CamelCase look more familiar. I know of one data point: Guido van Rossum is Dutch, and underscores are fairly common in Python (but, on the other hand, https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html has 'isinstance', 'setattr' and 'memoryview')

And, by the way, middle-score as in lisp (and, from there, Dylan and Clojure) is the superior approach: easier to type than either, and makes you stand out from the crowd :-)

That's an excellent feature. the scenes in unity are binary and not merge-able. That feature alone left me considering other options when I was looking at game engines.
Can you point to your sourcing, I am doing a bit of comparison and I am seeing a bit of oddity in the reporting.
Not the OP, but in our product we have very large binaries that are the output of the product itself. Each time a change is made to the program, the output needs to be compared to the existing output first automatically and if the output isn't byte-by-byte identical then manually (visually).

So essentially, without large binaries in source control we'd lose testing.

Having open GPU ISA's is not the same as requiring them all to be the same. GCC and LLVM both compile to a variety of architectures but manage to share a lot of code and optimizations between all of the targets.

Having the same for GPUs, where the vendor gives you an ISA and you can use whatever compiler you like (even hand written assembly), would be a lot more preferable. This is what the open-source Gallium3D stack does, though it's hindered by relying on reverse-engineered information.
No, that's not it for me at all.

Other than XML Schema, and XML namespaces, what was wrong with SOAP? Serious question. I genuinely think it had big advantages over REST.
Perforce sucks. From a UX perspective, it really is rotten. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, it scales poorly.

Perforce scales provided you can continue to throw money and hardware at the machine your repo is on. After a while, for large software companies, that is no longer feasible. You have to split off into multiple perforce repos, at which point you abandon the benefits of a monolithic repo.

I have seen a very large software company abandon perforce for git for this reason. You can't push a single git repo as far as you can push a single perforce repo, but you can push a fleet of git repos way farther than you can push a single perforce repo, and a fleet of perforce repos is something you really don't want to deal with.

Does your name work in a UILabel on an app? It's hard to believe they do something different than that.

If not, try to find acceptable characters to use instead.

This is more likely an iOS SDK bug than an AppStore one -- see if you can reproduce it in an app and open a Radar. I would not expect the AppStore support to care or really be able to help.

Practically all packages use git sources. Yes, you can vendor them - congratulations, you just kicked the can down the road and moved the issue to the build step. The issue exists for other languages as well - maven/mavencentral, ruby/rubygems.org - but only composer depends on github very much. I don't like that but it's not like the other solutions are much better.
>Do many "otherwise smart" people actually believe "superhuman machine intelligence is prima facie ridiculous"?

I don't know how "otherwise smart" I am, but I wonder how we would be able to tell that a machine intelligence was "superhuman" as opposed to "buggy".

For example, suppose we build a super-AI and ask it, "Is Shinichi Mochizuki's proof of the ABC conjecture correct" [1]. What would we do if it said "yes"?

(Of course, if "superhuman" just means "able to do things humans already know how to do and verify, but lots faster", then we're already there).

The main reason for the abandonment of centralized version control was as much about Git and Mercurial having the advantages of DVCSes as it was about SVN starting to show its age.

I found SVN literally painful to use, perhaps because it was based around CVS's standards, and CVS was originally a series of shell scripts written in 1990.
Nice job man, this is some great work for somebody your age. I know 'senior engineers' twice your age who couldn't write these notes, nevermind code it up.

I imagine there's lots of reasons. A girl I dated would only eat very thinly sliced meat or very specific cuts of chicken.

I tried for a long time to come up with a set of rules that would account for her preference, and eventually I came to: no obvious evidence that it was an animal. No bones, veins, ligaments, fatty areas, etc. Also a good texture, no slimy meats.

Her preference was that turkey they cut so thin it's almost fluffy.

I heard she got over that while she traveled, and now eats all manner of meats.

I fell in love with Git because I could do frequent local commits that matched my workflow, only "publishing" them when it was appropriate, in the format I wanted. Git did this for me, Subversion didn't.

I know that concept does not have to be inherent to the D in DVCS. But for me that was the killer feature. It changed everything for me. The gain from being able to do that dwarfed all the costs of learning Git.
