That's because it's meant to illustrate how each pathfinding algorithm/heuristic works and their search scope, not to do project-specific pathing.
Probably two very large factors have to do with Google being the force behind angular, and the fact that you can inject it into existing pages. Whereas with ember, you more or less need to build from scratch with ember.

Personally, I prefer ember myself. I find angular very awkward and slow. I agree with you, ember doesn't get the respect it deserves.
I'm curious, do people generally feel that smartwatches are the way of the future? I can't really imagine that a device with a screen the size of a thumbnail outperforming a smartphone for common use cases (scrolling through Twitter, reading emails, browsing the web, etc.) Although at-a-glance notifications and health/sleep tracking are potentially desirable features, it seems that the price will need to drop significantly before anybody besides hobbyists will adopt these.
> 7 day battery life: Don't care. I don't sleep with my watch on and with wireless or magnetic charging it's not a hassle to charge nightly.

For me, that's actually a pretty big selling point for a variety of reasons (namely that charging isn't always going to be a possibility - i.e. if I'm out hiking/camping or otherwise "off the grid").
Yes; I have the latest updates.

With only the notifications you mention the Moto 360 will last about a day and a half.

Music streaming over bluetooth from the watch or the screen being continuously on will chow through the battery in less than 2 hours. So if I get up in the morning and work out for an hour, using the watch to play music and time my set and rest intervals the watch will be at around 33% life when I'm done at the gym. This is not enough remaining battery life to get through the work day.

If I go to the gym after work then the watch will die 20 minutes into my workout.
Don't really know why, but this Wikipedia article reminds me of the one written for HTCPCP[0] which has many of the same humorous styles.

> a state might change its mind on some question, because that's always true

The entire idea of a written constitution is to independently limit a state's otherwise arbitrary power. This is not done through a formal process (as that would be part of the government itself, by definition). Stating that there are laws the government itself is bound to is a direct inducement to enforce those laws through informal methods (eg whistleblowers, insubordination, civil disobedience, revolution).

So, it is important for everyone to be independently judging whether their government is still bound by its original charter or if it has broken free and is essentially lawless. I don't expect that we'll agree on this judgment (it's a distributed consensus). My practical aim is to highlight that SCOTUS is not the final arbiter of the law lest this ultimate check be categorically forgotten.
I agree with you but temp varies greatly. It often is 30 degrees warmer in the valley than in Malibu which you notice immediately driving over Topanga.

This is not "proof" of him knowingly hosting child pornography. Sites get accused of such things all the time and I personally believe there is a group of people who intentionally orchestrated this fiasco.

I visited the 8chan links you posted and didn't see any child pornography. It seems to me like you're trying a little too hard to paint this guy as some kind of pedofile. I don't completely agree with the types of things being posted, but I didn't see anything illegal.

Of course a site that allows anyone to create their own board is going to have some politically incorrect boards.

Reddit has had similar problems and you can still find sub reddits for the same things there.

I suppose you're against free speech completely then?

For someone who claims to be anti-child porn you sure did find those links fast, almost like you had them bookmarked..
I think trying to use a smartwatch in lieu of a smartphone is the wrong approach, even if this is the approach the Apple Watch and Android Wear devices are leaning toward. Pebble's approach with Time (and, indeed, with its previous devices) is refreshing in this regard, since the focus is on amplifying the strengths of smartwatches instead of trying to work around their weaknesses relative to smartphones.
Oh, man.

An attempted coverup is often punished harshly. Richard Nixon and Martha Stewart should have taught everyone that. How is this not obstruction of justice[1], or whatever Canada calls it?

Obstruction charges can also be laid

Airing things out is quite healthy.
Isn't 8chan that enabled gamergate to continue? If so, anything bad happened to your site is actually beneficial.
I dont understand why they were trying to do this remotely?

Wouldnt it have made more sense to have all the devices already encrypted? Then if someone does a raid - simply turn off all the devices - and your protected?
Sorry to be negative, but as someone who considers myself both an art person and a code person, I don’t find the example very compelling as either art or code or as a union of the two.

Your friends’ lack of enthusiasm for it doesn’t necessarily prove anything about their (in)ability to appreciate other fields.

For contrast, I consider many of the links here to be examples of great art (and great exposition) related to code/formal models: http://conceptviz.github.io/
I believe that, to some degree, we can compatimentalize the beauty in the representation and the content.

Take a discernment test which I would call a "substitution test": if you replace the content and the artistic value is more or less unchanged, I claim the representation is the highlight; if replacing the content destroys the values I claim the content is the highlight.

For example, for a picture of Monet, if you swap the scenery for another similar one while maintaining the style not all value is lost. However, if you take E=MC^2 and replace that with B=CD^3, the value vanishes.

I claim that algorithms have a great value in terms "content", and picturing it in illegible text highlights instead a "representation" (since you could replace that code with any other algo) -- missing the point.
Canada calls it the same thing. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Canadian_Criminal_Law/Offences/...
This is a superb essay. I really like the focus on 30 line bottoms up spreadsheets for clarifying thinking and trying to avoid assumptions that are impossibly high.

The rules here ask you to use the original title unless it is misleading or linkbait. It's fine to use a subtitle instead, if it's more neutral or informative. What's not fine is to pick what you think is important about the article and make that the title—that's what we mean by editorializing.

On HN, the submitter of a story doesn't get to frame it for everybody else. Since the title of a post is the single most important influence on the discussion, this is important.
What strikes me as odd about this is that the laptops weren't encrypted to begin with.

Relying on remote encryption to protect the data could have been defeated by simply taking the network offline at the beginning of the raid.

Potentially a remote lock prevents employees of Uber Canada being ordered to decrypt the data as they lack the means, but presumably such a court order would lead to head office having to decrypt the data anyway.
This is something that has been noticed before mathematically, but hard to do in practice. The article is maybe a little confused. The limitation on size comes from the limit on frequency/amplitude resolution - for a given scale and resolution, the need to distinguish states grows combinatorially. It can be overcome by making the system smaller. Eventually you can rely on quantum effects to help, when you are no longer emulating a quantum system, you've basically built one.
Personally I don't feel that airing someones dirty laundry on a huge website is an appropriate venue. Isn't this exactly what support groups like AlAnon and therapy aim to address in a more delicate manner?

> For that I would need to see actual, regular controlled experiments from PL researchers showing that a given language or construct yields measurable dividends over another, such as reductions in deficits, program size, or development time.

You might be interested in Stefan Hanenberg's research:

https://www.dawis.wiwi.uni-due.de/en/team/stefan-hanenberg/

> Instead what you get from PL researchers is papers full of conjecture advocating some such language or construct, but seldom any scientific evidence to support any of it.

There is PL science and PL design. You won't see much PL design anymore in the academic conferences, they are mostly oriented toward PL science these days. Did you read the article at all? Excerpt:

> But the main point I want to make is that PL research is broader than designing and implementing new languages. To me, a PL researcher is someone who views the programming language as having a central place in solving computing problems.

In other words, PL research is not about designing PLs these days.

> Further, programming languages by themselves, in 2015, don't matter that much. Unless a language has an industrial-strength implementation, a robust tool chain, and a vast collection of libraries, it won't, or at least shouldn't, gain widespread adoption.

That is like saying theoretical physics research doesn't matter much anymore. We are reaping the benefits of 20 year-old PL research today, what about 20 years from now? Have we reached a point where what can be tried and improved in PL has already be done? PL is finished as a field where we can make progress?

> Of all the languages I've learned or at least been exposed to, only a handful were genuinely novel, such as Common Lisp/Scheme, Smalltalk, and Haskell, and rest were mere reskins of C.

What about the experimental languages that you haven't been exposed to? Like that first live programming language called Flogo II in somebodies dissertation? You will never program in that, but it moved us forward.

> largely from the vanity of their inventor, who dreams of becoming the next great BDFL, being invited to give keynotes at conferences, and capriciously giving his thumb up or down to enhancement proposal like a Roman Emperor deciding on the fate of a fallen gladiator in the Colosseum?

Trust me, there is no glory to be had in this game. At best, you'll get your name written down in lots of places, but even Guido van Rossum has a day job.

> I actually think we as an industry could benefit from a PL moratorium.

Why not just let the market sort it out?

>The music industry would love it if you had to pay for music multiple times, but you can nonetheless rip your own CDs. Or vinyl records with the right equipment.

You can, but it's not legal, at least not in the United States. It's never really been litigated, but a reading of law would seem to say it's not legal. There's no "personal use" or "personal backup" clause in the law. It's a copy, and copying is not OK outside of the "fair use" bounderies outlined in section 117 (there's also some provisions for libraries and archives, but those don't apply to individuals).

Legality is really tangential to the point, however. The question is that for any given work, whether that's a book, piece of music, game, etc, do you "own" that work seperate from the physical media you purchased it on. Can you obtain a ROM, a copy of the book or a copy of the record in question legally in perpetuity because you bought it in one form once?
What is that copyright protection supposed to look like?

There are clearly things that combine function and expression. Essentially all computer programs do this. But if the expressive part can be copyrighted and the functional part can't then the combined thing has to be separated into what can be copyrighted and what cannot.

The thing about APIs is that by their nature they're purely functional. There is no expressive component that can be extracted and changed without changing the function itself. Even the name is functional because that string of characters is what the compiler uses to match invocations of the function with its definition.

Try a mirror image analogy. First, a popular lock manufacturer encodes the mechanical specification for its lock cylinder as music, and it turns out to have a pleasing sound. When the sound hits the top 40 they can have all the music royalties, but that doesn't mean they can copyright the lock itself as an expression of the music.

Second, a popular lock manufacturer starts selling locks which will only open if the key blanks are encoded with a particular sequence of musical notes composed by a human artist, and asserts that such key blanks are copyrighted. It doesn't matter how expressive the music is when you play it on a piano, or whether it would be copyrightable if it was reproduced as sheet music rather than key blanks. If you specify it as an interface then it can't be copyrighted in that context because the functional interface demands that specific expression.
Well then you do understand why they tried to do it remotely - because the devices weren't encrypted in the first place.
You're right, it would be good for privacy if we can convince the courts that users installing the software are not responsible for the traffic of other users. I'm afraid this argument will fall on deaf ears.
As it happens I don't track my exercising either, I go to gym and do exercises simply because I know it's good for me and that as an IT worker my job is too sedentary. Maybe if I was working towards a competitive goal (run a marathon or do a triathlon) I would track as iterative improvement would be necessary but I'm not so I don't. Equally I don't have competitive goals for my sleep cycles.

The point is that the 'gimmick' in question is meant not only to tell you whether or not you slept well, but also to tell you why you didn't sleep well.

I don't know how well this works in practice, but I know that's the primary purpose of similar functionality in Sleep Number mattresses ("You didn't seem to sleep well; you should bump your number up to 63 and raise the back about 2 degrees more"), and I figure it would be the same with a smartwatch counterpart (though probably with less precision; it can detect the tossing and turning, but probably can't detect pressure points the way a smartmattress theoretically can).
wow, this clearly is criminal behavior from Uber HQ. Instead of fully complying with the investigation and using legal means to contest it they are behaving like a bunch of pedophiles trying to encrypt their hard drives so the police cannot get to their kiddy porn stash, despicable...

edit: obviously i'm not against data encryption it's just funny how encryption is used in this case to obstruct justice, article in French, obviously but the headings are saying something like this :

SF Uber engineers attempted to remotely encrypt the
data of Uber Canada computers during a search at Uber
Canada headquarters led by the Québec IRS in Montréal
last week.

Search at Uber Canada's office

Last May 14, dozens of investigators from "Revenue Québec"
proceeded in searching computers at Uber Canadas's office,
on Notre-Dame street. Investigators were looking for evidence
showing that Uber Canada is violating tax laws

Around 10:40 am, one of the investigators noticed
that "some handsets, computers and tablets
were remotely turned on" during the search. Another
female investigator, who was performing a second
search warrant in another office, noticed the
same exact phenomenon, also at 10:40 am."computers
were being remotely accessed and manipulated, we took
control of them then turned them down given the
emergency and the high risk of remote data
manipulation", can be read in the case made by judge
Jean-Pierre Braun

Generally the terms of a sale indemnify the seller against "cosmic rays" stuff like concealing the status of an active NSL. The civil exposure is light versus a heavy criminal exposure for leaking the information (which in any likelihood wouldn't concern the acquirer anyway).

I'd consider an active NSL on par with customer data; no acquirer would expect to peruse through a target's data prior to the completion of the sale.
Are all servers and laptops currently encrypted at your work, or school, or home? I suspect that for most businesses the answer is NO. Same answer for most individuals.

But seeing as Uber is often skating at the edge of legality (or usually over the line IMO), perhaps they should have routinely been doing encryption?
Explain what is wrong with gamergate. I don't game so I don't know. Seems to me reddit is the site you should be hating.

Edit: Actually after thinking it over, it's free speech you should be against.

It really sucks when sites host opinions you don't agree with doesn't it? I googled gamer gate and they seem to be against people exactly like you: People who want to shut down other peoples opinions that they don't agree with.
If the devices were encrypted beforehand, would that even help?

I wonder if these actions could be legitimized by Uber claiming that they were merely trying to protect user data.
You could use pretty much any pathfinding algorithm (A* for example) even if you don't have a grid based graph.

In the implementation, you would just need to modify how the algorithm transverses each valid walkable/unwalkable node (how to go from waypoint to waypoint) and possibly how much extra cost each node has (water/mountainous terrain could have increased cost for example) instead of letting it go the usual up/down/left/right and possibly diagonals for grids.

If the waypoint based approach isn't ideal for you, then you should look up "navigation mesh" [1] pathing which is a bit trickier to implement but works well when you have a bunch of large empty/walkable areas.

Depending on which version of the "modern position" is being advanced, I think your conclusion is highly strained or untenable, though I understand what you're saying and used to share that view.

With respect to the teaching in Evangelium Vitae and the 1997 Catechism, the justification for the death penalty is essentially reduced to the defense of society from further physical danger posed by the condemned criminal. As such, it remains effectively silent on the retributive, vindictive, medicinal and expiatory dimensions of the death penalty, which have been expounded by the Church previously. In other words, a woefully incomplete argument is put forward which muddies the issue rather than make a compelling case for imprisonment as the better option.

In more recent years, Catholic commentators, bishops, and now even a pope have gone further and declared the death penalty to be "inadmissible, no matter how serious the crime committed ... an offense against the inviolability of life and the dignity of the human person", or similar. To make matters more confusing, such statements are often couched with others related to historical context and the "legitimate defense" ideas proposed in the sources referred to above. So which is it? Is the death penalty inadmissible based on perennial principles perhaps overlooked in the past? Or with respect to current conditions in (all?) modern-day nation states?

In all cases, the de facto "modern Catholic position" on the death penalty is unsound – either it is unnecessarily and confusingly incomplete, or it is downright contradictory to what has been taught previously. I do believe it will eventually clear up. Also, just to be clear, I do believe there is ample room for mercy, and the thought of people being executed saddens me.
Until the algorithm runs out of nodes to explore it can't know that the destination is unreachable. Checking if a node is enclosed is determining if its graph is disjoint from the graph that the other node is on. The only way to prove the graphs are disjoint is to explore every node in the graph.
"Review" in the context of your link means "referee." I don't think that most researchers would view writing a review article for Nature as "volunteer work" because the career benefits of the publication are pretty high.

So, going by the link, I don't think this is a change in his position on open access, but I also don't think that his position involved as much self-sacrifice as you'd assumed.

edit: I don't know the field well, but these review articles usually recycle a lot of material from review articles the author wrote a year or two before. The contents of the article might be basically available for free already.
I was an original Kickstarter backer for the original Pebble. I loved it and it replaced my 8 other mechanical/quartz watches.

When the Steel came out I backed that on day 1 as well. Its been my sole watch since it was shipped (the original now serves as a screen for Strava/RunKeeper on my bikes).

When I saw the Time announced I was horrified by the design - it seemed so backwards and basic. I'm clearly at the polar end of the bell-curve when it comes to the design assessment of this watch as I feel as if it was almost a joke, a toy. I know that there's some specific technical improvements under the hood. But for me it's like trading in a Lexus for a Lada because the Lada has a better car audio system.
