That's some great feedback. Our initial idea was inspired by Ruby Toolbox, and evolving from there, your suggestions make complete sense.

We thought of many more features touching the component usage, and discussion will be a fulcral piece to break the barrier between the maintainers and the users.

To be fair, to a German the tens of thousands Americans pay sound preposterous. The only way we (Germans) rationalize the higher costs in the US is that the quality of education is better -- which doesn't seem to be the case for the majority of universities.
This is a good start. Awesome stuff, keep it up :)

I actually thoroughly enjoyed the entire reading experience.

1. Opinion. I had no problem, but to each his own.

2. I will admit that the full-size images hung around for a little too long.

3. Did not encounter this issue.

In my opinion, the methods of presentation (including the lack of ads) complemented the pleasure of my reading experience.

Eleven former teachers and administrators guilty in cheating trial
Using taxation for behavior modification is wrong. This is how we've ended up in the mess of taxes we have today. Despite what politicians keep repeating, "good manufacturing jobs" are never coming back, and taxes and excessive regulations are near to the top of the list of reasons behind this. Don't believe me on this one, Steve Jobs himself told this to Obama directly. Just google it.

Taxes should only be used to raise money to support essential government work and worthy, efficient, well-justified, regularly reviewed programs with automatic expiration dates of no more than five years. The latter to make sure we get used to re-evaluate everything and make sure we run government as efficiently as possible.
Not really, it's pretty obvious they are checking their watch to see if they have a notification. To me it's exactly the same as pulling your phone out since people have been using phones as watches for some time. It interrupts the conversation and it is rude.

Nobody said it's requisite, it's just who happened to take the test. This article poses it as an alarming issue yet the statistical significance of this data is barely worth mentioning. That's 11 out of the 50 states, and all of those states (with the number of test takers and minority proportions) have expected values of between .5 and 2 black students taking the test, most of them falling between .5-1.0. There is a lot of context missing from this data to know if it's actually significant and presenting on only this side of the data weakens their argument by opening an entire plethora of counter-arguments about their data being misleading.
Most of the energy in most H-bomb designs comes from the fission of the uranium tamper around the secondary by neutrons from the fusion of the secondary. Fission is a messy process.

In the "limited" Tsar bomb design they had a non-fissioning secondary tamper so yield was mostly from fusion and the explosion was high enough (i.e. far from the ground or sea) that the fusion neutrons didn't have too much else to activate.
I'm really disappointed they decided to shutdown everything so suddenly with no plans to keep support going for at least another 3 months. What kind of management team gets a company to a point they have to shut it down in a single day and tell everybody to pack and go home?

Do you think/feel this affects how close-knit a team can be in your company?

From what you say you don't seem to use video much (for one-on-one), so a lot of visual/non-verbal is lost (also there are no non-work regular meetups, e.g. lunches, which I think helps with nurturing a bit of informality).

Also when someone is sitting next to me the threshold for asking a question is rather low, and when working remote I tend to waste more time looking for answers on my own. So my guess is that would affect productivity also.

But still I wonder if there are many of these completely remote largish (> 15, say) companies. It's a very interesting model.
Especially on tablet/mobile browsers, a very small number of pages cache before the browser has to reload and regenerate (and that's REALLY slow).

One thing to consider is that many rural states poor schools without AP programs. My high school in Idaho had 1 AP program for English and that was it.
We can start taking statistics seriously when the presentation of the statistics is done meticulously. The bubble chart should be done on a per one hundred thousand population, like they do for murders (something JoeAltmaier mentioned).

In the never ending war to identify differences in systems, why are we looking out outputs and not inputs? Here we are simply looking at metrics of 14,674 test takers in 2003 and 39,278 in 2014.

Who chooses where to offer the AP Computer Science test?

AP Computer Science has to be selected by a school to offer the test, the school district administrator has an incentive to do this as they get a bonus based on the number of test takers. The risk is that a school will have all failing students so the administrator and reflect badly on the administrator. The administrator needs to identify the schools that provide the best opportunity for success, where computer classes have already taken root and have a pipeline of qualified student to take a test with an average score of 2.9.

Who are the students taking the test?

Computer programming requires mathematics, logic, and other functions. It takes hours of personal development, failure, and problem solving in programming. Why do the white / asian / males have a proclivity toward this? A more direct question would be to ask why are the asian females not taking the test, if we could identify this, we could identify inputs that would change the outputs from the system.

Please stop looking at the outputs and saying change the outputs, you simply find metric abuse.

I own three smart watches, notifications are fine. And because Apple is Apple, millions more people will line up and get to see how somewhat useful they are.

It does seem in this case that a large amount of the value Apple is delivering with this product is on the "Apple as a lifestyle brand" side, not from a technological or design insight, or even (subjective, I know) from a fashion perspective.

I suspect that a lot of what will be going on is: "I'm an upper middle class or above person who likes/can afford an Apple talisman" tribal thing. Kind of like buying $5 coffee and sitting browsing the web on a MacBook Air. (Not casting shade: I have been know to do that)

But it'll be really cool if this new large pool of wearable users leads to the discovery of more killer apps.
I would argue this combination is not sustainable. Eventually a project will be gobbled up by a commercial entity (FoundationDB) or become stagnant once the original developers leave.

I am not trying to poo poo open source development model, or decry evils of commercialism. I think we can all benefit from finding an alternative.

The takeaway is that, as long as it is just a single nuke, the damages are rather underwelming

No—no it's not. See "What would happen if an 800-kiloton nuclear warhead detonated above midtown Manhattan?" (http://thebulletin.org/what-would-happen-if-800-kiloton-nucl...). Notice this:

No survivors. Within tens of minutes, everything within approximately five to seven miles of Midtown Manhattan would be engulfed by a gigantic firestorm

Furthermore:

The fire would extinguish all life and destroy almost everything else. Tens of miles downwind of the area of immediate destruction, radioactive fallout would begin to arrive within a few hours of the detonation.

Manhattan has a daytime population of more than two million people.

I'd probably worry less about this if PrEP were cheap enough to get without insurance (or wealth). The odds of finding a monogomous (or at least polyfidelitous) partner around here is slim, and I'm not too keen on taking my chances with Grindr. A better condom would alleviate a lot of worries.

Thought experiment: I wonder if one reason the US doesn't do formalized tracking of this sort is that it would be distasteful to formalize the inequalities in our system, but yet we don't have the stomach to actually provide equal opportunities.

We have de facto tracking by parental income and social capital. Look at the other thread about high school kids taking AP computer science: AP CS is basically a class that is only offered if the parents agitate for it and the district has the money. Somehow in Mississippi this just doesn't happen, and we are fine with that as a nation. Keeps us wringing our hands about who says what words in the workplace instead of having to make a substantive change in what we offer students.

There are swaths of the US (with power) that benefit from this socioeconomic/cultural capital tracking of students. Keep the poor relatively poor with shitty schools for all, keep the rich rich with private tutoring so their SAT scores get 'em into a decent college, get the immigrant parents to put out good workers by running their kids through prescribed hoops so they can rise a little and be good middle managers and developers. Then we don't have to deal with poor kids with ability or rich kids who are dumb as dirt -- we can say everyone has equal opportunity with clean hands and conscience!
My Bitcoin Investments Returns for Q1 of 2015
Not really for the above mentioned reasons.

HTML5 desktop games barely exist. If you build a game for desktop you usually just build a native game, because trying to build World of Warcraft or GTA in a browser makes little sense. And if you do build for the browser, it's usually small-mid games where Flash is still king, despite the fact it's dying.

Desktop HTML5 games are afaik 90% mobile HTML5 games that obviously also run on Desktop, but to call 'em desktop games would be too generous because they're built for crappy mobiles running Android 2.3 browsers where even playing a simple sound when you press 'start game' is a big deal because you have a few megabytes of memory to work with. A lot of these games cater to e.g. 40 year old house moms who want to play Candy Crush type games but outside of the App Stores that are marketing black boxes.

Big publishers in this scene are e.g. Spil Games or BoosterMedia.

For example, Zibbo is one of SpilGames' brands. You'll find mobile-first games like these: http://www.zibbo.com/game/Monsterland-Junior-vs-Senior?featu...

Beyond that, there are a few developers who build cool HTML5 games usually as a way to get you to download their native app. It allows them to put these games on any desktop gaming portal, the Facebook canvas etc, and get eyeballs, and then after 5 levels say 'download the native app for more'. But even then devs often go with Flash as it's got such a huge community of developers with lots of expertise, and with Flash dying, it's cheap to hire.

For example, I think Kingdom Rush, a pretty cool and fun native tower defender app on mobile had an HTML5 version in the Chrome store, basically as an extra channel to advertise their mobile app. Not completely sure though.

Mozilla built BrowserQuest: http://browserquest.mozilla.org/

Which was pretty cool. Not really fun, but an interesting demonstration of the tech, which is what they built it for.

There's a pretty sizeable indie scene with games like these in HTML5: http://godswillbewatching.clay.io/game/godswillbewatching

Again these are mostly just desktop games that got an export-to-html5 version, though. A lot of the entry level game dev tools like GameMaker or Scirra seem to have built a big HTML5 engine which allows them to offer their users an export to iOS and Android apps by wrapping them with tech like cordova, without having to mess with Objective C or Java or anything. So for a lot of indie game devs that use this type of software they can export to HTML5 as an afterthought and upload it.

Don't know of big HTML5 game repos other than the mobile-first publishers (SpilGames, BoosterMedia, Keygames, Admeen, Pakap etc etc). There are some HTML5 game repos but they're full of crap.

Thing with HTML5 is, it's not a user-demanded tech. It's a developer tech for people who want '1 codebase, all platforms that have a browser', i.e. TVs, phones, tablets, PCs, consoles. No user is actually interested in playing HTML5 games, it has no known benefit to them, so it's never advertised as such and so there's no real stores built around it.

Sorry can't help you much more.
Introducing Project Seasponge: Quick and Easy Threat Modeling
>Great comment. Anyway I will never leave Europe for US/Canada/Australia[1]. I've visited some family in the latter and I feel that the advantages of these countries are not enough to make me live there. Exchanging peace of mind and a huge decrease of life quality for some extra probabilities of being rich and extra consumption doen't worth IMO.

I'm a European currently living in Canada, who has also traveled the US pretty extensively. The US and Canada aren't really interchangeable. Canada can at times feel like America-lite but in most real ways it's thankfully very different to the US.

I didn't move here because I saw "advantages" regarding personal prosperity, mainly just for the experience. The quality of life here in Toronto isn't a huge difference from what I've experienced in Europe. Comparatively low crime when compared with other major cities on this side of the pond, low poverty, reasonable cost of living relative to IT salaries, etc.

Apart from that, the people are great and really live up to the stereotype and are overall comparatively laid back like in Europe.

What it is lacking though is cultural substance and identity. It's pretty bland. Nothing has any real character. In that way it can feel a bit like a major US city and will be the main reason I move back to Europe in the coming years.

Living and working in the USA is something I'd never consider personally. I'm also approaching 30 and in a few years kids will be along the way, and I would never consider bringing a child up in the US. I don't mean to offend American posters here with this, but what you offer is just not for me, and I could never be a part of something that actively supports the US government and its policies.

But if you were looking for a change I'd suggest giving Canada a shot for a while. It's very different to the other two you've lumped it in with and in great ways and if nothing else it would give you an experience to learn from.

The "CAS" in the OP stands for "Compare and Swap". The complaint is that they had Couchbase checking for read-write conflicts while Mongo was doing blind updates regardless of if the data in Mongo was different from what the client expected.

The complaint isn't about sub-document updates vs. full document updates. The complaint is about conflict checking. Couchbase could have been told to blindly write, but wasn't, and Mongo was told to blindly write.
That's beyond ridiculous. No one has been attacked by nuclear weapons because nuclear weapons have forced our leaders to resort to diplomacy, except when attacking countries that are too small to require nukes. This is, on the whole, a GOOD thing.
While I applaud Google for killing these extensions, I'm pretty disappointed that they let things get this bad in the first place.

Wow, you're pulling out some numbers that seem very unfounded here. You also seem to be VERY anti-tesla as seen in your other posts in this thread.

Can you show me where you have seen hard evidence of battery packs "wearing out" after 4-5 years? Also, please define wearing out as there are different meanings to that.

Contrary to what you have said in this thread the battery life has actually been significantly better than expected (http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/In-Gear/2015/0219/How-much...)

Also, saying the only incentive of buying an electric car to save money is ignoring a lot of other factors in the word.
Tesla's goal is to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. They want (a) to see as many electric cars on the road as fast as possible and (b) make a lot of money.

B is required to perfect the product -- which serves A better than anything else.

I think the 'Apple way' is most efficient: selling the whole package and making it so good, that people happily pay a lot.

By "logical structure" I mean the AST. I make this clear in the rest of the document. The point is, with Classp you don't have to write a grammar to create a parse tree and then convert to an AST; you write a specification that produces the AST directly.

> Except the many languages

Learning multiple languages is a necessity in Europe, it's handled similarly in the surrounding countries.

> and computer science-- children learn to program in Germany?

The basic courses don't get further than Excel macros, but in the extended courses it's fairly solid (data structures, algorithms, multithreading even back before multi core CPUs were a thing, …).

> but the onerous General Education requirements of bachelor's degrees provide additional breadth of knowledge.

That seems to be the difference, then. Our bachelor degrees are already limited to domain-specific knowledge; you're supposed to do several degrees if you want to further broaden your horizon (arguably not entirely unreasonable if it's free).
Small houses can have fairly high populations density's. Let reserve 30'x30' plot per house.

A parking space is 9 foot wide and 18 feet long call it 10'x20'. So you can go 3 deep with hosses and give them 30'x30' plots + 10'x20' parking space each. That's 120' for 3 houses, 20' for parking spaces then 30' of road and then parking + 3 more houses on the other side = 6 houses per 30' of road. Per acre that's 6* 43560 / ((30 * 3 * 2 + 2 * 20 + 30) * 30) ~= 34 houses per acre and 640 * 34 ~= 22,000 houses per square mile.

For comparision DC has a total population density of 9,800 people per square mile.
