"By the time country was reunified, in 1990, the world had changed dramatically since the days of Versailles, and policymakers decided to write off most of the original sum."

So he's still correct.
Correlation does not imply causation. As noted elsewhere in this discussion, there are plenty of other potentially relevant correlations, and as also noted, if you cast the net wider than the ODEC we no longer are an "extreme outlier".
I do not think I have ever seen a "beautiful" cross platform app.

Slightly OT, but hearing about this film instantly reminded me of a childhood comic strip called The Numskulls that appeared in various DC Thomson comics:

I do the same approach for my mobile OS hobby coding, between Android and WP.

I guess C++ scares the web devs to go native and prefer to stay in their little sandbox.

Also tried to play around with Qt, but got disappointed that their story is more about bringing C++ apps into mobile not much the license, than a full cross-platform support like Xamarin. Even the new 5.5. still requires a lot of manually wrapping code across all mobile OSes.

However if I would be doing this commercially, Xamarin might be the way to go, as I wouldn't be willing to write glue code all the time.
You know, this is what I keep asking myself about all the fine folks in defense, developing the newest fucking weapons/plane/gun/drone/whatever which _will_ be used people in other countries.

I'm not a particular follower of Randi's and still couldn't help but see the Vivek stuff going on. I wouldn't have labeled it harassment; what I saw was a loud and unrelenting public call for accountability. I don't believe she threatened, doxxed, or otherwise harassed him. Do you know differently?

What I would call harassment is that Randi was doxxed as well as swatted, seemingly by the same sort of folks involved in this situation. She seems to have decided to aggressively stand up for her rights and the rights of others.

I'm sure that makes many uncomfortable, some so much so that they create new profiles in social media to comment on it without risking their reputation. Which is fair, though you have to ask yourself why.
Carpenter analogy is as bad as the "book author" analogy. You write a book and let it go. Nothing to support, all updates are to be paid by customers in a new release.
I don't know.

That's the point: a lot of us, including the article's author, are attributing causes to the amount of spree shootings along to the amount of deaths caused by firearms in general to several individual phenomena but there's almost no way of controlling for a myriad of other factors in play, which include very diverse things like culture, political climate and demographics.
I'm not sure how we've deluded ourselves into thinking that the two are not directly related. As other commenters have mentioned, it isn't big scary guns, but the hundreds of millions of handguns everywhere and easily available in the USA that do most of the damage.
I'm not sure there are clear lists with "startups", the knowledge of them seems to be embedded in the network surrounding these companies. I did find one site with a bunch of companies on the High Tech Campus (in Eindhoven): http://www.hightechcampus.com/companies/, many of which are or were startups. Furthermore, there are a couple of startup meetups (meetup.com) and other startup initiatives in these cities/areas you can contact for more detailed information.
(Oil) Painting is a better analogy in some ways, as each project is unique, may have evolving requirements, rework, etc.

And the fact that projects are rarely "done", you just stop working on them at some point (hopefully a "good enough" point)

All analogies are flawed, some are useful.

I'd say it is a better idea to show something finished (or if it's too big, a part of it that it finished). Because if it's not finished, those who look at it will have hard time to understand where you are, where you can go and thus they'll have hard time making a good review of it, or worse, they'll associate the unfinished stuff to your incompetence, lack of vision, lack of will, whatever.

You seems to only think about consumer apps, there is a lot of companies doing b2b. I agree that for games cordova is a very poor choice.

Unfortunately I can't agree that you can easily find easily good IOS & Android devs, I'm sure that some that can do it out there, but generally one platform always suffers more.

Has for Cordova issues, from my experience, nothing was so atrocious that writing 2 apps would have been faster.

"Either you use frameworks and everything is just bad or use vanilla JS and everything might work"

I think you might be thinking about games saying that, again I can't agree, if you don't understand what your framework does in your back that's another thing, but you can easily write optimized code when you control your render.

For example Ionic is a very good mobile UI framework for angular. It however wont save you if you start adding random things to the DOM while doing an animation.
I would never have guessed this needed so much tinkering and electronics. It's not immediately clear because all the pics show the same light, but the color is controlled using an app and it has (apparently) 3-5h battery life.

I don't believe you understand what this is an instance of.

It was so refreshing to see this. Even though I feel like the attitude she describes is crazy (and very prevalent), sometimes the fact that it's so prevalent and never really discussed makes me feel like I'm crazy; like the world has decided this is the way it is and anyone who doesn't disagree is sexist. But in reality, it's just a loud minority that appears to be bullying people who don't buy into their ideals.

Having studied in Delft I can attest to the change occurring on campus. YES!Delft has changed significantly over the last few years and there are quite a few disruptive companies coming out of the incubator program. I regularly talk to a few of the resident entrepreneurs and I get the feeling that it’s the lack of capital that’s really hindering growth. For a previous startup that I abandoned, the advice I got was to prepare my pitch and fly out to SV, only because investors seem to be following instead of leading in The Netherlands.

I’m not working on another startup and I’ve gotten some great advice. It’s made me realize that certain sectors are probably easier to raise money for. In this low-interest rate environment, there’s probably a lot more capital seeking investment across the board.

Curious if anyone in Delft or elsewhere in the country has an investors perspective on what the fundraising environment will be like within the next 12 months.
There's a wide range of moral gray area there. Imagine, e.g., a US contractor who builds converters that make dumb bombs into smart bombs. The US is going to bomb people anyway; better that they hit fewer non-targets along the way.

"I don't see any legislators changing their mind about this"

That's more to rebut the perennial tide of "Well, if you read the second amendment it clearly states that it belongs to a well regulated militia" argument that invariably crops up in lesser discussions on the subject.

"Errr, McDonald v. Chicago just applied Heller to the states and specifically Chicago"

Correct. I crossed it with Moore v. Madigan. It's late, and they're in the same jurisdiction, which I don't live in. Apologies for the error.

"Not counting California and Hawaii, where this is still being litigated, every other Federal judicial challenge to a restrictive concealed carry regime has failed"

And D.C., as Pena v. Lindley is being reheard en banc, and the new panel has stayed their previous injunction on enforcing "good and substantial"... otherwise, yes, agreed.
How is this startling?
Great news! A lot of improvements relative to the beta service!
You're very welcome.

And, yeah, well, I suppose we might be the two most "expert" on this subject, with my having joined the gun politics battle in the early 1970s (sic), and you having worked at the ATF (!!!, I hope that was a youthful indiscretion! :-). I'm just particularly ... sensitive? in that the Brady groups are now really fading (see especially their $$$ lawsuit loss WRT to the Colorado movie theater shooting), and Bloomberg replacing them as the big threat. Hmmm, haven't heard much about the VPC since I and many other research minions helped Clayton Cramer destroy their "Concealed Carry Killers" paper.
> The fact that a Google employee who pushed web components has a problem with a framework he doesn't know in a case that should usually be avoided without the optimizations that are possible says more about him than the framework he is criticizing.

Or possibly that you haven't paid enough attention to what he wrote. He was very clear to mention that React's productivity wins are significant but wanted to make a point about how important it is to regularly test performance rather than just assuming hype is universally true – or, conversely, that people talking about native browser performance have done the broad, valid benchmarking needed to support sweeping general claims.

As example of the difference, you're reacting defensively trying to downplay real concerns which are easily encountered on any large project and attack the source rather than engage with the actual demonstrated problem. That might feel good but unfortunately problems aren't fixed by pointing out that the reporter works for what you perceive as The Other Team.

I'm glad to see actual React developers are responding differently by trying to improve performance on weak points:

This is clearly the effect Paul Lewis wanted from his post and it's the one which improves things for everyone who uses React.
I wonder what these sorts of barrier-free contraception methods are doing to STI rates.
For me one of the most impressive parts of this article where how they managed to eliminate feedback on the vocal microphones.

They did this by using two microphones, using one of the microphones for the singer, the other for the background noise. By inverting the phase on one of the microphones and then summing these two signals they filtered out the background noise. At least this was my understanding.

Sometimes it's really great how far we have come with technology and what tricks they've used in the past.

That is not a logic puzzle [1], even though the author claims it is; it's a silly outcome that is easily achieved when one breaks how logic puzzles are presented and solved.

It's more of a bait-and-switch.

Here is a famous logic puzzle, often called a Knights and Knaves style puzzle [2]: Knights always tell the truth, Knaves always lie.

"John and Bill are standing at a fork in the road. John is standing in front of the left road, and Bill is standing in front of the right road. One of them is a knight and the other a knave, but you don't know which. You also know that one road leads to Death, and the other leads to Freedom. By asking one yes–no question, can you determine the road to Freedom?"

Here's a "solution" in the style of the author: "There is no solution, because the road to 'Freedom' is under construction, and the detour leads through 'Death.' Hahaha! Gotcha!"

It's a non-solution, and not a logic puzzle any more.

Right, and even the use cases for software can change in such a way that it can influence the entire architecture.

The mountainous parts of the southern states tended to be unionist, I expect in large part because the terrain made large slave-worked plantations impractical. The most conspicuous case of this was West Virginia.

So you're seeing that giving kids birth control reduces teen pregnancy? Shocking.

Everyone knew this would happen, but some believe that giving teens birth control is encouraging them to have sex, so initiatives like this are almost always blocked. It's very much a political problem.
I'll recommend Software Engineering Radio (http://www.se-radio.net/). The interviewers are a bit uneven, but the topics and interviewees mostly interesting. A vast backlog, too!

Other than that, my main source of information is youtube videos coverted to mp3 using `youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format=mp3`. Possibly your podcast player can treat regular mp3s as podcast episodes (the wonderful PocketCasts on Android supports this: http://www.shiftyjelly.com/support/pocketcasts#115)
This title was mentioned in passing by the "annoying boxes puzzle" post. I was pleasantly surprised to find a very good copy on archive.org and it is an excellent collection of logic puzzles with detailed solutions/explanations.

Personally, I'm more concerned about why folks in the US are going nuts in that way.
> The US is going to bomb people anyway; better that they hit fewer non-targets along the way.

This has been used as a talking point pro smart bombs for some time now - and yet we have still bombings of weddings with a civilian hit rate of nearly 100%.

I don't really know. Some mixture of betting that Greece won't default and banks acting as a dumping ground for bad debts (someone has to end up owning it), I guess.

And yes, all numbers are face value. The market value of all that greek debt is...well, VERY much an open question right now. :)

What you say about the act of making the cards themselves rings true to me.

When I was preparing for the GRE in 2010 I first wrote down all the words and definitions from both the Princeton Review and Kaplan GRE vocab books on a legal pad. That didn't work as well as I'd hoped for quizzing (it's a pain to try not to read 90% of the page) so I wrote a really basic data entry script in Python that I used to input the words/defs and then a second one that would generate random questions based off of them (definition + 4 words as MC).

By the time I was done with typing them all in and debugging my little quiz script, I'd say I already had active recall on >90% of them. Having that working quizzing tool at the end to practice recognition was just icing on the cake - creating it in the first place was more useful to me.
For such calculations, consider opening the REPL of your favorite dynamic language in a shell. I use Python.
And something fascinating about that is that per capita gun ownership has at minimum stayed steady during that period, when very roughly both increased by 100 million from 200 million.

Since we have a (very rough) control for that variable, it suggests we need to look elsewhere. One I like is detailed demographics, younger men tend to be the most violent, and the demographic Baby Boom may explain most of that.
That's a whole other topic, it's called an 'Indianism':

But isn't Islam an counterpoint to your argument to hold the whole community responsible? Or are you just making the detached observation that because it happened to them, it can happen to us?

It's already happened to us, and it's not sexism (not that it would excuse anything, but as far as sexist industries go in society, I think we're low enough on the list to escape external criticism). It's the shocking elitism and douchbaggary that has come to define "tech." If you're in NorCal, you probably see it daily. Or if you really want some outsider perspective listen to John Oliver's comedy routine at The Crunchies, it's pretty cutting.

And the best part, both with the sexism and the way tech startups business models piss people off: the largest concentration of it comes from the "tech" people who are really the tech-adjacent business folk that came to tech just looking to make some cash.
Actually, yes. There's ample evidence of the effects of under reporting crimes:

http://www.allgov.com/news/top-stories/more-than-3-million-v...
http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/vnrp0610.pdf

From the article:

"Bullying remains a big problem, according to the study data. About 76% of violent crimes that occurred at school were not reported to police, which is consistent with the findings that from 2006 to 2010, crimes against youth age 12 to 17 were more likely to go unreported than crimes against persons in other age categories."

Now, here's my question for you, mholt (and others), meant in a kind but very direct tone: why should someone need to prove that reporting more of these crimes is justifiable? Why quibble with that question versus addressing the question of, "is there a wrong being done and can I help stop it?"

There is a wrong being done. You can help stop it.

So let's fix it.
my original plan was to pick 5 news outlets from each of the top 20 powerful countries, grab headlines for a consecutive 30 or 60 days, and come up with a negativity value from country N towards country M, so the final result would be a 20X20 matrix. Too much work, so it's not done yet.

But based on my years of experience in consumption of news from major media outlets in the world, the relative rates of negativity towards China is in the vicinity of 12/13, i.e., extremely high and very much an outlier. Of course it's just my guesstimate and gut feeling.
