Yes, but it seems to me like the campaigns you can trust are from those creators which have started using Kickstarter as a pre-sell store. That's their choice as a platform, but I preferred the days of funding small businesses that chose to earn capital from their users instead of a bank. I think they've vastly changed the utility of Kickstarter to creators, resulting in companies built only around sales on Kickstarter, rather than as a means to start something outside.
Dr. Adrian Flatt at the University of Iowa did a similar thing back in the '80s. I've known this since I was a child. Not news.

Is anyone using a smalltalk for live coding? It seems like the toplap community [1] who claim to be the home of live coding, are mostly into LISPs.

[1] http://toplap.org
Yes, I noticed that as well.

Just to play Devil's Advocate for a bit: assume 12 hours of material each week (Maths/English lessons plus some homework tasks), and a 36 week school year. I'm assuming something like ages 11 to 16, so something like 2160 hours total. That is a fair amount to author before you have a contract is it not?

(As a teacher myself, I would have suggested leading into the scheme with 10% of that with good quality interactive material broken into small enough topics so the teachers could integrate it with what they use already.)
No - if you look up Blekko (which is a regular web search engine which had a free API), it just shut down (which is actually a bad thing for me). I was using it for researching and corroborating web results, which hinders part of the functionality of my bot.

Blekko was just bought by IBM a few days ago, so to answer your question, my bot does not use IBM's APIs. My bot was using it for web results, but now it doesn't work. I'm trying to find a free web search API as an alternative now that Blekko is shut down.
Interesting concept. I love the connection information you can draw from Twitter, I wonder how closely it correlates to actual outbound/inbound influence.

From a purely visual (and probably pedantic) perspective, if you turn off d3's "gravity" you'll get a (marginally) more representative picture because the only forces acting on the nodes will be the links, and you don't need to worry about things floating off because you've already got one fixed point attached to all other nodes.
Random reply from someone on the internet: Do no take this as medical advice :-)

Obviously, Your two sentences is probably not enough for me to help you, but I'll give it a shot anyway. Having a high heart rate that you can sustain is, in my experience, actually good for endurance sports. In fact, my father pointed out the other day that he just can't get his heart rate up any more (he's 73 and still rides his bike over mountains). This means he can't get enough oxygen into his muscles to keep a high pace. As I've grown older, I've also noticed this ceiling that is limited by how high I can sustain my heart rate and for how long.

So, rather than assume that your observation is the problem, I think perhaps you might have something you can work with, whatever your underlying problem actually is. I've done sports my whole life (running, a small bit of weight lifting, karate, and now cycling). Especially now that I'm getting older, I need to concentrate on "base miles" on my bike. This means going out at a very slow pace (annoyingly so, for me) and riding for very long time. Cycling is good for this as it is relatively easy to dial the pace to whatever you need -- just make sure to have a lot of low gears if you tend to have problems.

I suspect that if you ride a bike at a very slow pace for an hour a day for about 6 months that you will find a really marked difference in your ability to exercise. Keep your pace so that you could have a conversation easily and that you aren't out of breath. If you run into difficult situations (hills, wind, whatever), just go into a lower gear. You may need to go to a bike shop to get especially low gears, but it won't be outrageously expensive.

Hope that helps.
Nor do most people who do live in the US, I would imagine... I infer that it's a high-end steak joint, but I've never heard of it.
Clearly not an anomaly – one app I've used (which loads my data from FB) popped a message saying "We're looking for engineers like you" (I studied CS at a top-ranked school).
Maybe go see a doctor about that. Just because I'm asking a question and then not committing righteous suicide because of how great my first world problems are, doesn't mean I actually expressed an opinion about driver signing in general, one way or another.
We have none of those issues. We block Youtube because when opened students don't stream "educational" videos. They sit in the library watching sports, anime, and inappropriate content.

Aggressive filtering, unfortunately, is a necessary evil because students are kids who, en mass, are irresponsible and make dumb choices.
I think the point would be to do something like:

a = 3
b = 4
c = 6
"A is {a}, C is {c}, B is {b}".format(**locals())

Then you don't have to figure out specifying order or definitions like ".format(a=a, b=b, c=c)". I'd probably go the more explicit route in production code anyway, but for debugging / unstable development it seems useful.
I've never understood the cult of Gandi on HN.

They're overpriced, and in my experience, their customer service is disgusting. I would never recommend them.

Namecheap are cheaper, better, and have done more for HN-related causes than Gandi ever will.
I concur. I loved 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), but I was burned so badly when I upgraded (too quickly) to 10.7 (Lion), that I've been paranoid ever since. That operating system was, freeze and kernel panic city for me. I'm pretty happy with 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion), and Its only about now that I'm considering upgrading to (10.9) Mavericks. (Just one operating system before the current (10.10) Yosemite)

Of course, Apple doesn't make it easy to upgrade to their stable and regressed operating system - I'm going to have go through all sorts of hoops to upgrade to anything other than the (still not fully trusted by me) Yosemite.
The lies comes from people who uses the statistic to prove a change in society. The statistics is, as always, just data that is relevant in a specific context.

As to why github is mostly MIT, a reason I read is that github replaced private cvs, ftp and folders on ones laptop with a web service that has the dual functionality of work platform and collaboration platform. It follow the same path when people moved away from using office programs and started to use google docs.
This reminds me of http://theyrule.net/ - it is a quite old website, still flash. It would be good to have an open format definition and an open source web frontend for visualizations like this.

The connections of your pet investor might be interesting, but there is much more potential to this if you would ask the people that did theyrule for their data, maybe you can find a way of working together?

- So A partnered with B and made a kickstarter campaign. From everybody's point of view, A and B is one entity.

- The campaign was successful (funded), but B ran away.

- Kickstarter is aware of that, but told all backers to remain calm, saying that the project will still continue.

- A is upset, because not only he's screwed by B, now he needs to fulfil his promise, but without seeing a penny.

I don't understand, can't A get his shit together with B, or whatever, and still deliver, since well, you know, it's funded? From the perspective of everyone else, A/B is one entity, no?
How's the constitution for the 6th one coming along?
Very true, but I can guarantee that if a HS kid is able to figure out a way to access 'adult' material, it won't stay a secret for long.

After that, the HS admin will deal with it in the same way as if they brought a skin mag to school in their backpack. :)
Poorly written article in my opinion.

The really big advantage of using Angular is that you're more productive: you write less code and it does more. As simple as that.
Fantasy Scrum
Isn't this kind of a known issue in Linux land? As much as it has improved, latency has always been the bane of audio applications in the Linux kernel. I remember in the days of kernel 2.2 that even XMMS would stop playing any music if I started using more than one or two applications.

Recently I got one of those cheap USB interfaces to connect my guitar. I spent some good 4 hours changing the kernel to "low latency" one provided by ubuntu, then trying to setup aRTs to run, then trying to make pulseaudio work with it, then figuring out how to keep both aRTs and pulseaudio dependent applications happy. In the end I got most of it working and I could run some kind of guitar effects application, but the next minute I realized that the volume control media keys stopped working. It was enough for me to throw the usb interface in the drawer and give up on linux for audio applications on workstations: buying a 50€ effect pedal was cheaper than all the time devoted to it.
It has been yes for a very long time. What really matters is understanding how general intelligence works and how to translate that into software.
Introducing https://test.webrtc.org - A tool that helps users help themselves.

Real time communications can be challenging: browsers, network, hardware and operating systems need to successfully perform complex tasks for a call to be successful.

Understanding what goes wrong, often on the far end, is challenging for developers.

test.webrtc.org captures media from the microphone and camera at various resolutions and sends it back to itself through a TURN relay server, all encrypted.

Once the media is back, Javascript code looks for various issues such as black video frames and silent audio as well as testing network capabilities.

If an issue is discovered, users can easily download or upload the report. When the latter is chosen, a unique URL is created, which can be used when filing issues.

We encourage developers to take the code from github and integrate similar functionality in their own UX. This should be part of any "support request" flow. We also encourage developers to contribute!

Show HN: Remote notifications system in its early stages
So, I've created this notification system from scratch to send notifications from remote systems to local workstation/laptop/phone and it has came to that point it can be shown to people.

Starting point for me was to send notifications from my IRC bouncer to my workstations and phone (which now works, yay!) but has extended to common purpose system. For example, if you are running long tasks on your server and want to get notify to you phone when its done, just do simple curl command after && !

Brief intro to get started and running server can be found here: http://lotsof.coffee/

All of this is open source and here comes the links:

server - https://github.com/vhakulinen/push-server

android app - https://github.com/vhakulinen/push-tool-android

linux desktop client - https://github.com/vhakulinen/push-notify-daemon

I've also been experimenting with the reddit's api to get notifications when there is new messages in inbox but that's not ready yet.

Oh, and please don't crash the server if you find bugs, open up an issue on github :)
Use Laravel Homestead with Apache Instead of Nginx
Seems like there is still a significant amount of initial latency by waiting for the first-byte of the HTML before making the subsequent requests for the dependent resources.

To actually minimize latency the server should understand what resources the HTML file is dependent on, and eagerly send those in addition to the request resource. i.e.

client: send me index.html and dependent resources
server: here is index.html, along with
other initial resources you didn't ask
for but will need

This avoids the latency of the second round-trip time to ask for dependent resources. Does anyone know if HTTP/2 allows for a scheme like this?
So, instead of switching page maps (and writing new TLB entries), the new process is allocated new TLB entries, corresponding to its process id in the high part of each pointer. Does this also require that the high bits of every pointer access have the local process ID inserted on use? Or are all pointers somehow tracked and rewritten on fork?
I became much more skeptical about correlations after I read somewhere that cholesterol might be not a cause of heart disease, but rather a part of the body's reaction to heart disease. For some reason, that example just hit me really hard. People think that they can make causal conclusions from observed correlations, but they are wrong.

As a rule of thumb, any correlation observed in the wild has at least three equally plausible explanations, two of which are tailored to the narratives of the two main political parties.
No, you have to understand how human nature works. Unfortunately, it is much easier to get people worked up about populist issues than about something that matters. I think the record speaks for itself.
By 'materials' I meant what the (entirely mythical) Mrs Scroggins uses with class 3P at 10:30 am on Tuesdays when they are learning to solve one degree linear equations.

I'd imagine that Mrs Scroggins continues to use her trusty textbooks for routine skills development, perhaps with a few Khan academy resources, some mathpapa demos and, perhaps, a group exercise where students work together in Google Apps to document their steps in solving some bobbydazzlers.
(French here). This was quite expected, the government slowly adopted more and more laws to restrict freedom and to watch everyone during the past ten years, this is not the first nor the last law, this is just another step for the next law which will be even worse. The government is even censoring comments on social media about the law when it's not going in their direction (I'm not even joking).

The French democracy has been completely broken for a long time and a few relics from the past are still working now. The times when the country was called "the land of the human rights" are long gone. I see a few people trying to contact their representative but it's already too late, the democracy is gone, forget about it, it will just slow things down a bit but that's all, the politicians in power are too corrupted and the system too broken for that to work.

The best solution now for us now is the technical one, to prevent them to do it. But even that solution is temporary, one day or an other, when they will start to attack random citizens, things will have to change... as the quote is saying, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.".
One piece of software that does do very well on Android is Caustic3. Admittedly, I am likely creating loops instead of live playing but the experience is a good one.

Even better is that you can run the OSX/Windows version for £0.00 and copy your projects over to work on a "real" machine after tinkering on your phone throughout the day.
Curious, what's the whitepaper?
It's not really Internet access, it's wifi. And wifi for a one-to-one deployment in existing schools gets pretty involved and expensive if you are doing it right.
Wow, there are actual countries with bandwidth cap and privileged content for Home Internet? Damn, I thought that was just the hypothetical scarecrow of NN defenders =/
> then you don't understand what Smalltalk is anyway
Sorry, but I think that is just wrong. As far as I know, Pharo is one of the best and more approachable alternatives to enter the Smalltalk world. They should be doing a better job at welcoming people to "their world". If they want people to just come already knowing what they are going to get, I don't see how are they going to go mainstream, ever (assuming they would like to.)
Sorry to be pedantic, but your very first reference confirms what I said:

>However, sometimes the situation isn’t so cut and dried. There’s a set of adjectives (including perfect, infinite, and unique) which fall into both categories, gradable and absolute. (...)

>(...) unique has developed a weaker, less precise meaning: ‘very remarkable, special, or unusual’. The historical Oxford English Dictionary first records this sense in the 19th century, and it’s now well established. The ‘very remarkable or special’ meaning is not an absolute concept and is therefore gradable, so it’s grammatically acceptable to use modifying adverbs:

√ I saw a guy wearing some really unique eyeglasses.
√ They’ve devised a highly unique way to cook and serve meals.

Would be nice to have it working at least to some degree without javascript. Good luck!
i'd guess the lag was accounted for, but due to something bad happening with the valve, it was different than expected. i don't do control theory but i'd assume there's a way of detecting this situation. maybe the valve needs an extra sensor or something?
Is this similar in concept to Oracle Grid Engine (SGE)? How is it different, superior?
I don't believe you are 14yo. No 14yo guy will ever refer to himself the way you do. Prove me I am wrong and I'll give you gold.
If someone could prove that recollection is reliable, that might change things for me. But I agree with you.
Welcome to 90%+ of the US.

I live in a fairly rural city and drive a stretch of road every morning with no sidewalk and lots of walkers in the grass. And the speed limit is 65. I'm constantly worried some idiot will wander onto the road.
It doesn't say exactly where the data comes from but:

"Passports are ranked based on their Visa Free Score. The higher the Visa Free Score, the better the Passport Power Rank."

Edit: I presume this is the number of countries which a holder of a certain passport can visit without needing a visa.
The amendment is, as Tristan Nitot said, "A lot of promises, very few facts". And even after saying that the amendment improves the situation, Octave still says that the law is bad:

NGRValidator – The New Open Source Project for iOS
Please take a look at what happened in Athens a few thousand years ago. You'll see that even then people were susceptible to fear mongering and manipulation, so in effect the real power was in the hands of a few. People has always been stupid, there's no way around that, sorry.
Not the person you're replying to but I'll answer anyway. The theory that the Charlie Hebdo attacks was a false flag attack was raised by Paul Craig Roberts of the Reagan administration.[1]

I find it a pretty incredible claim, but it's coming from a somewhat credible source regardless. Coupled with the fact that we do know false flag operations have been used and planned for use in the past, it's not hard to see why it's a theory given weight to.

I almost always use format because it looks nicer, hence more readable. Shorter is not always better. It is also mandatory in i10n strings because if there are more than 2 arguments, they might be in different order in another language.
Mobile Startup Pack – All the tools you need to focus on what's important
Up to the ALSA driver step these delays would be the same on any Linux system. Do Linux desktop systems experience these types of delays? I have experienced these types of delays trying to setup a Windows box as karaoke machine. In fact, I've never seen a DJ use anything but a Mac. That leaves the question, how does Apple do it?
If you provide free capped connections to the end-users (with selected services not counting toward the cap), that would be a totally different discussion indeed.

But that's not the case here.
It's also a poor analogy because McDonald's is a futures trader with a private hedge (its stores) while Ruth's Chris is a steakhouse.
Not really given size. We're a tiny district < 1K student body, and we've spent perhaps 1/4m on a infrastructure refresh; we deployed a new wireless network, replaced edge and core l2 and l3 switches, etc.

Consider LA has 600K+ students across the district, multiple facilities, and tens of thousands of staff I would say that is on the low end of infrastructure costs.

Our four site WAN runs > 30K/year, 100Mbps circuit is 24K, we're already at ~60K/y in operating costs.

It is easy to see how 800mil on infrastructure is probably not enough.
Uhh, isn't this when you file a lawsuit against your partner for failure to fulfill terms of the contract you agreed upon?

Tray.io Raises $2.2M for an IFTTT-Style “Integration Marketplace”
The thing with "descriptive" is that it's not about what you or I "want".

Nor are there "multiple languages". There's one language and in that language, unique IS used that way by some (most) people.

The cat's out of the bag.
The thing is no one is going to rob a kid for a $150 chromebook, some parts of LA are not so friendly and a kid walking home with $1000 in hardware is not just in danger of losing the ipad but of being injured or killed in the robbery. Ultimately chromeos does a much better job, and gives kids a platform to learn javascript which is the language of the future anyways. Nobody is going to risk prison for a chromebook but robbery for apple gear is not uncommon.
It seems pretty clear that the process that kicked off this mail to backers of this project is independent of any other part of Kickstarter that knows any of the details about how this particular project scammed its users.

It looks like this is a process that kicks off semi-autonomously as soon as an IP dispute happens; there is probably a button someone pushes somewhere to make it happen.

So the short answer is: that's canned text that does not perfectly apply to a situation where there's an IP dispute over a project that is also a scam.
Very impressive :)
Tupper's formula
It seems you're talking about two different things still.
If you have an iOS device, you can connect an electric guitar to it via a dedicated (but relatively inexpensive) interface and have it sound like a reasonably amp plus some effect processors. It's really great for mobile musicians. I don't even mention Garageband and other apps which basically allow you to compose quite decent music on the go.
Oftentimes its not so easy to "get your shit together".

When you've already misjudged the character of your partner to such a degree, you most likely didn't judge other aspects of the project as competently aswell, especially those in the domain of your partner.

Without knowing any internals, funding sum, scope, what actually happened to the money, we can do nothing but speculate which is pointless.
So why would you use this trigraph sequence rather than simply || ?
Eight nutrients to protect the aging brain
eh. It's something that made sense over ten years ago. Very little content was hosted locally within Australia so most traffic had to go over the expensive links to other countries (which are obviously constrained in bandwidth). Privileged/unmetered content was often things like local Steam mirrors or whatnot which was closer to the user/ISP.

Now that more and more content is cached locally, there's less and less of a need for it both bandwidth caps and privileged content.
