There are people who respond well to high carbohydrate diets, and people who respond well to low carbohydrate diets. Any study that just separates the participants into two different groups is just going to see that individual variability in response as "noise" in the final analysis. The only studies you can trust on macronutrient response include a crossover period.

Red Hat CEO on fostering sustainable open source collaboration
This was submitted yesterday and justifiably flagged to death.

To reiterate my comment: This is part of a trend of "quirky and random" app update notes, which has a two-fold purpose: to demonstrate "hey, we're a startup and we don't have boring bug-fix patch notes! ^_^", and to attempt to get viral on social media aggregators like Reddit. (given the amount of votes this submission has received, it seems to be working)

Case in point, Medium stole the joke from another app, whose submission received 6000+ upvotes on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/32sgrm/important_upda...
If you look at it another way, it's not so bizarre. The person is retrieving their information from another's head. They're using a social storage mechanism. This works fine in the classroom, it works OK in the workplace. It works well in most situations. The only place it breaks down is during testing.

Because standard testing is only supposed to verify that you're storing the data locally. Standard testing is designed in a way that only helps "local storage" people, and alienates these users who get their information from their environment.

Open-book, open-note, and open-internet testing removes this barrier and levels the playing field for these "network storage" learners.

Or am I completely out of touch?
I guess it's funny sarcasm, though it can have a negative effect on employees.

For newcomers, who did not know if this a joke or not, and will be stressed out to make any mistakes, or either for old staff, who could think that one day it will be no joke and Peter will become jobless.
In science and technology cheating is often self-correcting. Your result is not reproducible or your product defective if you cheat too much. Everyone will know.

This is pretty amazing!

I am looking for a quick way to sketch some apps and this might be the simplest way to do so even though it misses a couple of things.

Some of the things to improve:

* Snapping. Sometimes when the area is small, the snapping is annoying as I won't be able to vertically center text in the box even though it should be possible physically. Maybe, turning off snapping?

* More text settings (font size at least)

* Predefined elements. Surely, it must be kept simple but things like arrows would help a lot and my crooked hands won't have to draw crooked arrows :)

More importantly, there are a bunch of scenarios where the wing needs to swing that don't involve the pre-conditions you've specified. No one knows what they are, but we know they exist--because they always do--and the last thing needed is for the computer to tell the pilot, "I'm sorry I can't do that Dave" when the pilot tries to do something it has been programmed to not allow. At that point a software developer's imagination is flying the aircraft, which is never a good thing.

That we can't imagine those scenarios right now is irrelevant to this point: we can't imagine the correct physics beyond the standard model, either. That doesn't mean we won't discover it as we gather more data. But in the aircraft industry "more data" often involves dead people.

We generally find it easy to reason like, "In context X do (or don't do) Y until condition Z." The hard part is figuring out what consquences that will have in context P, Q or R... each of which is likely to have a very low probability, but one of which is almost certain to happen eventually.

Alright, I didn't notice that one, but it qualifies.
> People make all kinds of rationalizations why this is not stealing.

Arguments that it is stealing are also nothing more than rationalizations. That's what both sides wield: it's a war of rationalizations.

(I tend to be more convinced by the "it's not stealing" rationalizations myself, simply because stealing an object makes it unavailable. If someone stole my bicycle, I'd be upset. If they cloned it in a Star-Trek-style "replicator" and took the copy, I couldn't care less. If you lend a book or DVD or SD card or whatever to someone, upon it being returned, you have no way to test the hypothesis "a copy of this was retained by the borrower". Not testable is not real, for all practical purposes.)

How to digitize VHS tapes in Linux
I'm trying to figure out the audience.

I've never had to collaborate on a mockup. I make mockups. I review mockups. I mark mockups up. But I've never wanted to do one live with someone else. That's just me though so an example of when this is used would be great.

Some feedback: I use Balsamiq and have for years. The whole reason I use a mockup tool in the first place is so I don't have to draw everything by hand or make boxes in Photoshop. The ability to use pre-drawn UI items is golden.

While the collaboration features are cool and hi-tech, this seems like the beginnings of a mockup tool, but not a full one yet. So saying "we fixed mockups" seems a bit of a stretch. It's a nice start though and I look forward to seeing where it goes.
I don't think there's a real problem here, except for forced sellers - I would pity an investor who is forced to liquidate a corporate bond portfolio because of a margin call. But liquidity risk (especially in the corporate bond market) isn't exactly news to anybody.

Liquidity for US Treasuries may well be lower because the Fed's taken so many of them onto its balance sheet[1] but I don't think that a lack of liquidity is going to pose a real problem in that market. There's a difference between a market that's dislocated (by which I mean that the market price has deviated from the "real" value of the asset) due to a structural problem (like a lack of liquidity), and a market that has reached its peak (and/or is overvalued, and is undergoing a correction - which may be happening in Europe at the moment[2]).

People get all excited about flash crashes and talk about billions of dollars being wiped off the value of whatever but it's complete horseshit. Just because a few trades happen at an unreasonable price because of a technical hiccup (or because of some strange, unforeseen interaction between different automated systems) doesn't mean that the underlying value of the asset in question has changed. If a share starts the day at $100, dips to $1 because of a flash crash, then recovers to $100, what has really changed? A few people may have made/lost money by being lucky/unlucky enough to have traded at an incorrect price (e.g. because a stop-loss got triggered or something) but other than the appearance of an icicle-shaped spike on a chart, it's just noise (and if you have a system which reacts to noise, then the problem lies with your system, not the market).

Personally, I think the bond market has been propped up by "quantitative easing", which has, in turn, inflated the equity markets. At some point, that situation has to undergo a correction and that could well manifest itself as a crash if everyone dashes for the exit at the same time. But that's the nature of markets - they fluctuate, sometimes wildly.

I think there is subtile difference. Java was, is and shall be a standard. To say you had a Java implementation meant that you supported the Java APIs. It was a legal definition. Google had Java-like runtime that they promoted as a Java runtime. This led to the question of API protections and reasonableness.

Using Google's API for your own competitive product API is different. Google has not set a standard for map APIs. At least not officially. It might be THE standard for maps, but that is neither here nor there. At this point you could call it cheating. They took intellectual property and appropriated it for a clone. Plus side, we now have an implied standard. Downside, theft of intellectual property.
I was more cynical than he is at 32 when I was 14. On the one hand, I've learned to be more idealistic, but on the other hand, with how things are these days, what sort of worldview do you expect kids to learn? Since when should youth be so flagrantly ignorant as to form a worldview of sunshine and daisies while terrorism, corruption, and destructive climate change take up most of the headline space?
This is the reddit party line, and it's just as much an oversimplification here as it is there. In actuality, people have wildly different metabolic responses to over/underfeeding, and those responses also vary depending on macronutrient composition.

What you described is a reasonable way to get a starting point, but the math almost never works out the way you described. Instead, you must track your body's response over a week or two to a very repetitive diet, then change one or two variables at a time and repeat the tracking process until you get the desired result.

It really isn't stealing. Not even legally, despite how how much people say it is. Copying is not theft:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU7axyrHWDQ

It might be cheating, it might be copyright infringement. Depending on the circumstances it may or may not be moral. But 1000 unauthorised copies do not mean 1000 lost sales. The situation is more nuanced than a simple 1-1 correspondence.

It's weird you'd say that. What you repeatedly do, creates habit. Habits are what defines the character of someone.

Your surprise seems to be grounded on the idea that lateness can be a habit formed in a way that the person has no control over it, that it's genetic perhaps? You'll be hard pressed to find many people that will agree with that thesis. It is habit formed by behaviour they have complete control over and to blame or villainize them is as akin to blame or villainize someone for e.g. masturbating in public.

> Snapping

You might be able to do what you want by zooming in (alt + scroll). When you're zoomed in, the snap interval is smaller.

You can also move text without any snapping with click+hold, then drag using the text tool.

Grouping is also coming, which will allow you to auto-center text in a box.

> font size

You can change font size by hitting "+" or "-". It will affect all selected text.

> Predefined elements

We're still working on this, but we remember everything you copy and paste. You can manage them from the "Clipboard history" in the upper left menu. You can use that to define your own components.

The next version of that feature will make it much easier to get the clips that you starred into the document, without having to go through the menu.

For arrows, hold "A" and click the edges of 2 shapes. We'll create an arrow between them.

Seems kind of doubtful they would be willing. The way his description reads it's like he is nervous that he created a gun. Why not keep it? He owned it... just lock it up?

Plus that is in San Francisco. I live on the opposite coast. I won't be over there for a while.

I was searching online to see if renting one of these things is legal. I found at least one person stating that it has been said officially by the feds that renting one of these would be considering "manufacturing". I can't see how, but that is what was said.

I doubt Wired wants to get into the middle of that. Perhaps the NRA might, or the ACLU, but not Wired.

Really both the NRA and ACLU should both buy like 50 of these things and rent them out. That would be interesting.
I thought Berlin has many airports (I remember Tegel and the other one). So this is another new one ? If yes, why is there a need for a new one :) For example Frankfurt has only one and it's capable much more than Berlin, because it's also a Hub for Lufthansa.
You are thinking of a too narrow focus my friend. Think grander. I'm an atheist, but look at someone like Jesus. Lets assume he was a real person for a moment, not magical, maybe a little insane and full of revolutionary ideas. Perhaps the people of his time would never accept his version of the world, a peaceful one, simply because it might cause them a loss of station or because 'that's the way we always did it' or because 'the old gods said it was ok'. What did he do, he sold them a story. It wasn't true and he probably knew it, he told them to love one another, he told them to help those who were the most vulnerable. He created a meme. Everyone creates memes. That 'fact' you parrot off facebook, you just infected someone else with a meme. So in my eyes the only point to life is this, leave the world in a better place then you found it. Choose the memes you spread wisely, and try to create better ones yourself.

Where do I focus my memes? The millions dead and dying from malnutrition. Its absolutely preventable, we have the technology to solve it and its abhorrent that it continues into the modern era. You can join me, or you can pick something else. Just try and have a positive impact, and if you are good enough (and lucky) this world might just remember you when you are gone.

> There was an interesting story recently about how a disproportionate amount of Chinese students are expelled from US universities for cheating.

That's not what that article claims. You cannot conflate poor grades and cheating. The article intentionally misleads by just listing % for all reasons that Chinese student are expelled and then hints (without outright saying) the reason must be cheating, it couldn't be for example poor English skills? Or a ton of other problems international students might have (e.g. cultural adaption)?

I don't know if Chinese students cheat more (I don't have that data, and the article doesn't supply it). But I do know that Americans spend a lot of time writing anti-Chinese stuff and it is getting pretty pathetic.

Cool story bro + unrelated attack on the product = reddit-level posting.
I really wonder how this got to be the explanation behind IS and similar groups. They always reference the Qu'ran, the hadiths and the sunnah in everything they do. The US foreign policy was used as a convenient excuse and certainly wasn't helping at times, but the drive does not come from how they've been treated. The drive comes directly from the religious commands found in the Qu'ran, the hadiths and the sunnah.

It's the teachings combined with the knowledge of them combined with a desire to follow them that is creating the current situation with IS and other groups.

"A UPS tracking number is 15 digits or something like that, but a FedEx tracking number is 24 digits. If you opened it in Excel it would truncate it, because it would be like, “That is a 24-digit-number. We should store this in scientific notation.”"

I am stunned that this is actually an issue even when dealing with CSV and Excel. It is quite easy to store numbers in Excel and treat them as simple text.
Mike Pall has emphasized on various occasions that he believes that sandboxing Lua (while discussing LuaJIT issues, but refering to Lua in general) is reasonably possible only by considering the whole (OS) process as the sandbox: "The only reasonably safe way to handle untrusted Lua scripts is to isolate them in a process context and to make use of per-process quotas/limits provided by the operating system." (http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg01106.html) - there were other occasions. However, I am not aware of a bytecode related discussion in this regard. And yes, it uses different bytecode - and a different intermediate representation.
