That's true only if your interest is limited to the mechanical rules of logic derivation. For those of us interested in the relations between symbols and meaning, the puzzle is fascinating.

That was the solution to the puzzle - realizing that this was an invalid assumption, given the formulation.

I was a little confused by the constructor for Player in the class example. Wouldn't the following be more appropriate:

constructor(x = 0, y = 0) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}

(i.e. this way if "new Archer('Legolas', 5, 6);" the x and y values will not be ignored.)
1kg of fat would be 9000 kcal. Impressive energy expenditure there. Of course a lot of water weight is lost initially (when fasting or just skipping all carbs) but that rate won't hold for weeks on end.
Help me understand something.

Piketty seems like he is in favor of repaying this debt by "inflation, a special tax on private wealth, and debt relief."

But, he is against Greece leaving the Eurozone. So, how can they inflate their currency?

Instead of inflation, which is impossible if Greece shares the Euro currency, is he suggesting that some percentage of Greece's debts just get knocked off? That would achieve the same result, I think.

No, because dreaming of thinking is a way of thinking. I'd still be certain of having experienced those perceptions, even if I can't be sure whether it's a dream or not.

Solr and Cordova are on different realms, I don't see how that's relevant in this discussion. FWIW I've used Solr a lot and it's great for faceting and geometric search.
It's pretty close to YAML; so you might as well use that.
No, the banks didn't "make some money" -- they dramatically reduced their exposition to junk bonds at a point in time when that was an existential threats to them. For a number of European banks, that bailout kept them alive. Which is what the bailout was granted in the first place: because European authorities knew it was a bailout for their own banks, who had made terrible decisions in their continuous search for a quick buck.

I searched for solr sucks and got 20k hits.

Not here to defend solr specifically, but every tool has trade offs. Solr is popular and there is a lot of documentation, so it is not a bad choice for a document search database. Now, picking solr without understanding a document database and its tradeoffs is a problem, but not solrs.

In my own experience, I found the following 2 things being the most important:

1) Keep it fun. Sometimes you start working on something and a week later you realize it's not as great as you expected it to be. Maybe you are working on some game and you can see it won't be as fun to play as you thought, etc. It's fine, it's ok to stop working on it. Forcing yourself to work on it won't produce any good.

2) Start with well defined, small goals. Define v1.0 which would contain only the most critical features, ship it (even if it means simply tagging on git). There's something hugely motivating about completing things, no matter how simple they are.

EDIT. One more thing I'd add, when working on a side project, don't start thinking about how everyone will be using, how many thousands of github stars it will have, whatever. It doesn't even have to be actually useful, as long as you have good time and learn something on the way. I've worked on a few projects that I'd say are totally useless (such as https://github.com/GedRap/xs-vm ) but at the same time I see them as successful because a) had great time b) learned something new, even if it's some small details about a library or a language.
Every basic emotions researcher comes up with a different list. But most of the lists include some version of fear, anger, disgust, and joy (but not sadness). "Emotional Brain" by Joseph LeDoux, chapter 5 has more info on various lists. From the same book:

James Averill, a major proponent of social constructivism, describes a behavior pattern, called “being a wild pig”, that is quite unusual by Western standards, but is common and even “normal” among the Gururumba, a horticultural people living in the highlands of New Zealand. The behavior gets its name by analogy. There are no undomesticated pigs in this culture, but occasionally, and for unknown reasons, a domesticated one will go through a temporary condition in which it runs wild. But the pig can, with appropriate measures, be redomesticated and returned to the normal pig life among the villagers. And, in a similar vein, Gururumba people can act this way, becoming violent and aggressive and looting and stealing, but seldom causing harm or taking anything of importance, and eventually returning to routine life. In some instances, after several days of living in the forest, during which time the stolen objects are destroyed, the person returns to the village spontaneously with no memory of the experience and is never reminded of the event by the villagers. Others, though, have to be captured and treated like a wild pig - held over a smoking fire until the old self returns […]

Averill uses “being a wild pig” to support his claim that “most standard emotional reactions are socially constructed or institutionalized patterns of response” rather than biologically determined events.

There's a use case for everything. I for one am not wasting resources creating and maintaining two versions of fairly simple applications in a corporate BYO environment, like the one I'm working in. There are plenty of convenient and easy to use frameworks out there that make positioning and screen creation just as straight forward as Xcode or the android development tools.

Actually, I always find it a bit surprising Cordova doesn't have more competition.

Edit; I find the title misleading. It's not so much about Cordova as it is about hybrid app development

Not everyone gets it. Fasting puts you in nutritional ketosis as does ketogenic / very-low-carb dieting. But the metallic taste is usually a temporary and harmless keto-adaptation symptom. The body's ketone production and consumption aren't fully balanced at first for quite a while, during which some people flush out most excess ketones in urine while others breathe out more of them. As you keto-adapt (takes from a week to a few months depending on individual), ketone bodies (a byproduct of fat oxidation) are fully utilized in place of glucose by more and more tissues/cells over time, until balance is achieved.
It depends. I'd put talks as 1st - especially if you can get people tweeting "OMG! Brilliant insight from @tylerpachal - I totally get COBOL now!"

Building up a reputation takes time - and it will depend on the company. A big organisation probably won't care about SO for example.
One thing I noticed while touring the university in Eindhoven was that students are pretty much brainwashed to serve the lighting industry. I really disagreed with the sentiment that there was any so-called "innovation" to be made in the field. This might sound ridiculous, but if The Netherlands wants to create actual change, they'll need to move beyond LEDs.
You can get the Amex small business platinum card (I have one) without having to show any actual business registration proof. It's $400/year, but you get the 10 GoGo passes, free Boingo, $200 credit in various airlines fees (excess baggage fees, etc.).

You also get access to Delta lounges (when flying Delta) and Amex Centurion and Air clubs at airports that have them.

If you travel regularly it's worth it.
I think the balance is the key. It's a very catchy phrase but yeah, one should not take it very literally.

This has been implemented in Firefox for years.
On performance, the new WKWebView on iOS (with Nitro JS + GPU rendering, including WebGL), and the Chromium webview on Android 5.0+ (or Crosswalk for Android 4.0+, similar features all round), radically changes the performance story. It's almost identical to the system browsers now. Facebook's comments about HTML5 were back in the dark ages when the webviews generally used horribly slow software rendering and didn't have JIT for Javascript on iOS. It's a completely different picture today. In fact, our performance-sensitive HTML5 game engine[1] targets the iOS 8 webview and Crosswalk for Android for making native apps, and they generally work as well as in the browser, which is very good, especially on newer devices. Modern web APIs are also asynchronous which helps offload work from the UI thread, and Web Workers can do that for arbitrary JS code too. For example our game engine runs A* pathfinding in a web worker, offloading any performance impact from the CPU intensive algorithm and running it in parallel to the game.

I think it's time to stop accusing webviews of being slow.

Soulver is great and is what i use when mobile but I love Calca. I mostly use it in place of a spreadsheet, less as a replacement for a calculator.
I guess you are right, but as someone that knows the southern Europe quite well, I find distasteful the way that we and other southern European countries talk about Greece in the media, as if we had an higher moral ground.

Yet, on our daily lives we and our politicians do exactly the same things they get accused for.

So sorry if I went a bit too much off topic.
Challenges When Implementing Microservices and Why Programming Style Matters

After 10 months, you should have been able to work around nearly anything you mention in your article.
Yes it's sad.

IMO, Europe representatives are just bureacrats who think asking for a minister's head is a productive move.

Europe's biggest problem right now is direct democracy.

What happend when when people wish to change the rules? It seems Europe had totally forgotten about that.

We have a similar-ish situation in Switzerland: we voted for a revision of the immigration system, and Europe doesn't know how to handle that because it's in contradiction with 'the rules'. The situation is completely stalled because cannot-change-the-rules so there can't be any middle ground.

HCF please.

What about Toy Story, Incredibles, Cars, Up... Oh wait they completely invalidate your point, I get why you left them out.

Or are you saying the sexism bias came in after the acquisition? So it's a Disney thing? Ignoring the fact that they are a company based around a massive Princess franchise, you are wondering why they like to manufacture princesses?

Did you forget the two male leads in Frozen? (Kristof and Olaf).

Do you point out the sexism in almost every facet of life to your kids? Or does this dilemma just hit you at disney movies? If your children are daughters, do you explain to them they should expect less from the world, because historic statistics show they are going to get less? Or if they are sons, do you explain how they will get more simply by being male?
Few years ago I've experienced dub sound system (Jah Shaka) for the first time. I've fallen in love with the concept immediately. It was entirely different from your regular rave, the culture and the musical vibrations that just move your body. Did not like the tinnitus for next few days, but that's why you need ear plugs.

If you never been in one, I highly recommend. Very different experience. They are usually somewhat underground so takes some research into what dub and reggae is.
I dunno. I mean, I tell everybody who will listen to me about CamScanner, a free app that scans documents to PDFs on your phone (android and ios). It saves me tons of time, and I share it with people - granted, they download it on their phone, but it's almost the same thing.

I guess if you look at the social construct, it's similar, but in terms of distribution, bittorrent is probably the closest...but not as similar in terms of license ;-)
Definitely agree on the science side - but I'd have to differ on the sexism argument. True, Pixar and Disney have recently taken small steps to balance the almost overwhelmingly boy/male as hero model with Brave and Frozen, but we're a loooong way from thinking that there's a dearth of independent, forceful male characters.
We've been using Cordova for almost 2 years (one in production, mind you), so I beg to differ.

Granted, our applications may be different and yes, Cordova, if not done right, can be excruciatingly slow. But we have managed well. Simple things like properly paginating data (rather than trying to infinite scroll), cleaning up CSS, avoiding repeated query selections (which is a bad habit of some jQuery developers) made a huge difference[1].

Our older app is built on jQuery Mobile. The latest one is Ember. The next R&D project I'll try will probably use React with Cordova. Mobile browsers are always getting better. After a while, I have the option of using App Cache instead of Cordova, without any significant code changes (I'm not using plugins yet).

[1] Edit: And not abusing local storage.
Every software is like this to some extent. The more external stuff they link, the more affected. Even if something doesn't auto update, eventually you'll have to update to the latest version because certain functionality will no longer work the way it should. Sure, you can fork it, but many software projects take more than one person to maintain.
It seems claer that the main customers are businesses (or employees). Even if I am footing the bill myself because I am a contractor, rather than expensing it, it still makes economic sense. By having Internet on the plane and working, I am making productive use of dead time. And exchanging even $40 when I can bill 3x that or more is a no brainer.

Don't get me started on the benefits of the internet on flights when travelling with kids.

Oh, like Americans complaining that they didn't want to invade Iraq? Those same Americans who have elected Bushes and Clintons for about 30 years now? Yup, quite unacceptable, really. They don't even have the excuse of having been ruled by a dictatorship for 10 years because of the Cold War, or having been born on one of the most strategic bits of land in the world from a military perspective, or having to fight ethnic wars with their immediate neighbours.

A 30 day fast sounds pretty insane to me, and quite dangerous without medical supervision. I would like to ask if you were overweight, and the goal was to lose weight?
Your comment is actually a perfect example of why I have issues with using per capita as the basis of the analysis.

I adjusted the OCED numbers to be on a per-gun basis as opposed to a per capita basis and non US OCED countries combined were more likely to have rampage shootings per gun than the US.

There are not issues in the US with social programs, mental health, etc as compared with other countries when looking at mass shootings. The only number that plays any significance is the number of guns per capita to influence the number of shootings per capita.

If other countries had as many guns per person as the US, the data indicates they'd proportionally have the same amount of shootings per person or more.
I thought the Unix philosophy embraced the idea of "small tools that do one thing really well."

> Please join me in my effort and do finish your projects.

Hear, hear. A friend and I hosted a "Finish it! Weekend" once (as opposed to a "Startup Weekend"). The idea was to get people together for one weekend and finish that last 10% or whatever of a project. Sadly we were the only two to show up. (And we both finished our projects, which suggests this might be a good kind of hackathon to host every six months or so).
Shareware as a business model is alive and well. It's likely that most commercial software a user uses these days started as a demo they were testing, maybe with a few features missing, or nag screens or a timer -- then they upgraded it to a full licensed copy. For whatever reason, we stopped calling it shareware, but that's basically the model in use for closed-source commercial consumer-level software.

In many ways, shareware has become the "default" method for distributing commercial software, and it's non-shareware software that's kind of weird. This even happens on the high end. I worked for a desktop software company years ago, and we gave away our software on a 30-day trial, if they liked it, a seat cost $30k. It was called the "30-till-30" model by our sales guys who didn't realize it was just shareware.

Looking at my own list of software I have installed right now:

Chrome - free with open source version

Firefox - open source + donationware

Thunderbird - open source + donationware

MS-Office - shareware

Foobar - open source + donationware

yed - free, but with commercial tools as part of the ecosystem, this makes it in my mind pseudo-shareware

Gimp - open source + donationware

Simcity 4 - fully commercial

Notepad++ - open source + donationware

Sublime Text 2 - shareware

FileZilla - open source + donationware

Mirc - shareware

Anki - similar model to yed, desktop version is free, mobile is paid

Bulk Rename Utility - donationware, closed source

Caustic - similar model to yed, desktop version if free, mobile is paid

Pycharm - shareware

renoise - shareware

bunch of steamgames - most started as a demo, so I'll go with shareware

skipping over python, perl and the usual open source suspects

and on my phone: most started as a "lite" version so many of the apps are all shareware

It allows web APIs built-in to the browser to return a promise, e.g. audioContext.decodeAudioData(data).then(...). If you just used a library, the browser wouldn't know how to wrap the returned value in a promise. It also guarantees interoperability between all APIs using promises, avoiding any incompatibility between different libraries.
The trailer completely turned me off seeing the movie. I don't think I'm going to bother watching it, or showing it to my kids. Especially after "Up!" and "Wall-e" failed to deliver.

The trailer was ridiculously sexist in a way I don't think is helpful to anyone. The sexism was extremely negative IMHO. Surely you'd agree that the level of sexism shown isn't really necessary?

This is a very bad article. The real problems with Cordova are:

* Core functionality is broken between releases. If you ask in the IRC support channel, they will even tell you not to update if things work well! What if I need a new feature?

* Documentation is absurdly horrible or even plain wrong. I have been told several times to refer to the source code to find out how something works.

* If you face any problem, chances are you will never find an answer in Google. You may find some StackOverflow thread if you are lucky, where several clueless people argue about things they do not know and then arrive to a wrong conclusion. (The programming skill levels of Cordova users on those communities are usually very low.)

* Critical functionality (things such as local notifications) is not included. You must rely on 3rd party plugins, that could be well maintained, or could be not maintained at all.

Yes obviously a Cordova app does not look native. It's not native and it will never be. Period.
