> I honestly don't know a single NPM library I'd use that I don't know the Lua equivalent or Python equivalent or PHP equivalent. :/

This requires learning the new library, porting code you've already written over to the new library, testing the new code using a totally different test framework. Non-trivial.

Lua has a lot of support, don't get me wrong, but it has way, way less support than JavaScript. To say otherwise is seriously dishonest.

I am not in any way equating "support" with "superior".
I am very indebted to my parents due to the way that I was raised and the freedom which being home-schooled permitted, but my parents are not familiar with the field of computer science and I must admit that I am entirely self-taught. This is because I came from a family of with a primarily literature-oriented and cultural background. I enjoy being raised in artistry.

Data study: When do errors happen?
Pcrh has already linked it below, but it's worth comparing this to the fascinating "Scott and Scurvy"[1], a similar article about scurvy, and how the widely-known citrus cure became "lost knowledge" for a while.

The general stroke of "Here's an empirical cure that people won't use because they have a differing theory (that this deficiency disease is actually due to infectious agents)" is of course similar. But the beriberi story seems more just like people foolishly ignoring an empirical cure due to, well, having a contradicting theory; it doesn't seem to have the same component of "here's a series of coincidences that seems to undermine the empirical evidence for the cure in the first place".

Also, note that while Takaki correctly identified beriberi as a deficiency disease, he misidentified it as a protein deficiency! Yet his cure still worked well enough, when he could get people to follow it -- which, note, was on top of the difficulty of getting it officially implemented. That's another difference -- if there was any problem getting individual sailors to drink their lemon juice once the British navy started serving it, Cegłowski doesn't mention it.

Is your monitoring system overwhelming you with too many alerts?
Hmm, I just started Logic on my computer and it uses native windows and lots of native UI. There is a main window, preferences window, help window, keyboard window, colors window, metronom settings, ... there is a menu bar with ten menus - native. There are native open/save dialogs, ...

None of that is in Pharo. It uses a clunky font, clunky windows, clunky shadows on windows, clunky resizing of the main window, its own open/save dialogs, its own finder, ...

It's too bad that there's no way to archive of the "inside" of the site. What was it like to actually use Facebook at this time? I actually did use Facebook back then, and even I'm not even sure exactly how I used it before the news feed feature was added -- I'm pretty sure people would click "friends" and then look for a little "profile updated recently" message.

It would be cool if people could go back and try old versions of things in the cloud. With non-cloud software (like Windows 3.1 or Mac OS 1.0), it's possible to do this, but with websites, once they've been taken down, no one will ever be able to use their old versions again. I wonder if there's some way that Facebook could "donate" old versions of their code for posterity.
We already have a name for this in film theory; it's called suture, our ability to mentally 'stitch things together. The reason people typically ignore drastic changes in continuity (eg the example of different color scarves etc.) is that we don't process the whole scene at once; even in fairly static shots we have regions of interest - if it's two people talking to each other without much movement, then you'll look at their eyes - and in shots involving motion, wherever in the frame the motion ends in one shot will be where you'll focus your attention following a cut.

Commercials exploit this all the time. Next time you watch TV, squint and/or turn off the sound to break your connection to the semantic content of the advert, and try to just look at it as a series of random shapes and colors. Frequently, the most dynamic shot in the commercial is followed by a relatively static shot of the product, with the product situated at wherever the greatest movement in the frame was (typically lower left or right third in live action).

This is especially true for detergent and personal care products that need to be picked out from crowded shelves at the supermarket. It's also why locally produced commercials look cheap - there's usually no sense of movement within the frame, just a series of images that don't connect up visually and so leave only a random fragmentary impression in the mind.

Startup owners, this is often also a problem for you: it's really easy to make a video these days and everyone wants to tap into the feel of those Apple commercials, but it requires a lot more than a cute acoustic guitar track and footage of people looking happy! When you opt for a video presentation rather than text copy on your landing page, you're asking the visitor to process a lot more information a lot more rapidly. If you don't have a cohesive visual as well as semantic narrative, then your video can end up making the same bad impression as the stereotypical 'geocities' web page does for static presentation. Put another way, if your shots don't link up or your sound isn't good, then you will never make it past people's visual cortex.

Your semantic context rides into people's brains on the back of the visual and audible context you create for it. You can watch your product video endlessly and feel good about it, because it's an expression of your semantic map. People who don't have that semantic map already in place (ie everyone else) won't be able to put it together if you just give them the pieces in video form but don't show how they cohere. You find it illuminating to test your product video by playing it on a large TV to small children or even pets. Animals will watch TV if it seems like something is happening; if you can't hold the attention of a dog or cat, then I guarantee you that whatever it is you're trying to explain to your human viewers isn't getting through to most of them.

Hey, cool project. As another poster in this thread mentioned, you have a cross-site scripting vulnerability because you don't properly sanitize the decrypted user input.

I might work on this if I get a little time later today, but in case I don't, here are a few resources for you:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3129899/what-are-the-comm...

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XSS_%28Cross_Site_Scripting%...

The good news is that PHP is so widespread that there are really great tutorials and libraries for sanitizing user input and preventing cross-site scripting.

Good luck!

This is a great description of the lowest level problem. But for those wondering why iOS doesn't have the problem or why only 10ms is such a difference, the answer is that this is only the beginning of the problem of Android audio latency.

There are still additional problems that add latency that span the entire Android stack from the actual hardware and drivers, to the kernel and scheduler, to the Android implementation of their audio APIs.

Anybody who has tried to do any serious audio on Android knows the infamous Bug 3434:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434

Google I/O 2013 did a pretty good talk on the problem and shows how there are problems across the entire stack. Glenn Kasten pretty much carries the brunt of all the audio problems with Android. I find it telling that he had to handcraft his own latency measurement device using an oscilloscope and LED because there were no actual tools built into the OS to help them analyze performance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3kfEeMZ65c

Audio has been terrible since Android's inception. It has improved a little over time, but unfortunately, 7 years later is is still pretty much unacceptable for any serious work.

However, I'm still getting the impression that botany/biology/etc. are being viewed as somehow "lesser" than the sorts of physics Einstein and Curie did. Would you object to, say, Gregor Mendel being on that list? They're roughly comparable, after all (highly-respected botanists with Christian faiths and rather-groundbreaking (pun intended) discoveries in botany).

The technique when talking about screenwriting or film analysis is a prelap. It's the opposite of a bridge, in which the sound from a previous scene carries into the next.

Ostensibly, this is a reflexive design element, though these things can have sublte connotative/implied ideas. Sometimes the prelab audio matches both pre- and post-cut scenes, and help you to think about the content in a different way. Or, it may just be an interesting way to cut your content. :-)
According to Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-09-23/pedestrian...), there were 11 bicycle on pedestrian fatalities in NYC between 1996 and 2005.

"There were no pedestrian deaths from cyclists in 2010, 2011 or 2012, according to city data."

I live in the Netherlands now but lived in NYC for 15 years and biked a lot while I was there. I'm not going to argue that NYC cyclists are perfect and follow all the traffic laws all the time, but at the same time, they're really not much different than Dutch cyclists. When it comes down to it, cyclists do what they have to do to get where they're going and avoid getting hit by cars. Some differences I have noticed: in the Netherlands, it's explicitly allowed for cyclists to bike against traffic on one way streets. Many more bikes in the Netherlands do have lights because 1) it's a 60 EUR fine otherwise and they enforce it and 2) the heavy dutch style bikes just tend to have them built in, whereas on the typical NYC bike, they're externally mounted and will get stolen off your bike in a heartbeat. The Dutch actually can be very aggressive cyclists, cruising through red lights when there's no traffic coming, passing suddenly and closely, flying through crowds of people, squeezing past trams, and generally inducing mild heart attacks in someone like me watching, but they're also extremely skilled since almost all of them have been biking nearly everywhere they go nearly every day of their lives since they were small children. They pull off complex maneuvers that I would never dream of and do it while texting. The final difference is that pedestrians here tend to be a bit more aware and will be careful to stay out of the bike paths.

Based on my limited experience playing with FPGA dev tools and boards as a hobbyist, this is my experience as well.

Not only is there a huge learning curve -- some of it is necessary (you are essentially doing concurrent programming), but some of it is the arbitrary way these proprietary tools work. As a complete beginner it's bad enough trying to get a very simple "divide the clock down to flash a LED on the dev board at 1 Hz", it's a whole additional thing to try to figure out "How do I edit the code in my favorite text editor instead of this stupid Windows IDE, and how can I invoke the build tools from make?"

I love this idea that the essence of these poems are in the rhythm, vocalizations, and play and not in the specific words themselves.

When I was small, my parents would tell me a toe-counting rhyme, which I knew as "icky-pee, penny lou". I wanted to learn what the "real" words were and found this page [1]. In the comments there are dozens of variations on this same poem and none use the same phrasing we did.

Oral traditions seem to have a way of distilling information to essences over time vs. bit-wise copies.

I was in Ikea yesterday and we bought two nightstand lamps with integrated chargers. Did not even realize that yesterday was the first day they were on sale... (in Germany).

Unfortunately, they do not work reliably with my Nexus 4. After putting the phone on the charger it does start charging, but cuts off after a couple of seconds and the charger starts flashing its LED (which is supposed to indicate an error). The phone did not charge at all last night on the charger. I don't know if this is an issue with my Nexus 4, which is already bit beat up, or if there is some kind of incompatibility...

Anybody have any experience with these kind of wireless chargers? Are there compatibility issues?

They are incompatible. Up until recently, only Qi charging was available for phone. PMA was mostly supported by places like Starbucks offering wireless charging because it can track individual users. Samsung Galaxy S6 is the first phone to work with both Qi and PMA.

I don't remember 2006 specifically, but I was on facebook in 2004. Back then, it was only open to .edu addresses. They had a list of all of the dorms at the school and the rooms in them. You would select using a pull down menu which was your room. They also had drop-down menus for all of the classes that the school offered, and there was a 'group' that was created for each class that you could use to construct study groups (or whatever). There was no news feed. Instead of the 'wall' as it is now, it was instead an editable text box that acted like the white board that is common outside dorm rooms.

When it comes to finding which packages need to be ported:

I've been disappointed by the "Python 3 Wall of Superpowers" and the fact that they've basically never updated their package list. (They update the Python 3 readiness, but you'd never find out if a popular package created in the last 4 years was incompatible, or if packages on the list have become unpopular.)
