It would be nice if Apple could get around to fixing FaceTime audio, which has been broken since the initial release of 10.10. But I'm not holding my breath.

I moved over 35k photos from Aperture to Photo Supreme for organization/metadata and DxO for editing. Photo Supreme will read Aperture libraries and much of the metadata. The capability was pretty crude when I did it (mostly relied on

Right now, I could be posting pictures of the horrific amount of phlegm I'm coughing up while I recover from the flu. But I think I'll stick with pix from recent trips to Iceland. Mild depression seems a healthy response to seeing

So when I take a bad picture (happens regularly enough), I shouldn't delete it but instead post it to Facebook?

I'm in the same boat and working through "A Tour of C++" by Stroustrup. It highlights the new features you're talking about with concise examples but doesn't flesh out the details. So you'll know that there&#x2

Neat solutions. I've edited my question to include some other details. In short, everything needs to run in the browser, and I'm not sure if Chrome is an option, it may just be IE or Firefox.

Looks like your app has editing covered. How about compiling & running code through the browser?

How's this compare with Aquamacs ( http://aquamacs.org )?

Probably real smooth due to the widespread beta and Yosemite being almost entirely visual tweaks and better integration with iOS devices. Those things shouldn't cause trouble. Apple seems to have given up on core upgrades addressing pe

R has high-quality libraries for just about everything. You're good to go if your need mostly involves stringing together calls to them. Main problem for me was expecting to find things like namespaces, utility classes, and other thing

I completely agree with the article an will recommend reading Apple Core Rot: http://macperformanceguide.com/AppleCoreRot-intro.html

Yeah, that's the issue that I'm referring to. Looks like workspace() wipes the whole slate clean. I was thinking along the lines of R's rm() that can target individual variables.

Does redefining functions with dependencies in the REPL work with this release? How about deleting items from the symbol table?

Yeah, I think that most programming language developments since the '70s have involved putting some ideas from C and Lisp in a blender for a few minutes. The main advances IMO have come in the areas of IDEs, build systems, and language

I'm a-okay with my job, and it's great that you're not. That means one less person I'm competing against in the applicant pool. And that pool is already substantially limited by excluding non-citizens.

Fun reading. As an aside, I've grown wary of data visualization tools tied too closely to a particular language. Each one is a little different, and while cranking out simple plots never takes much effort, making them look just so for

Another option, at least in the United States if you're a citizen, is to do contract work for the Department of Defense. Step 1: Acquire STEM Ph.D. Step 2: Get a job with a DoD contractor. Step 3: Profit! A short look at job options in

Yup. Everyone has different needs from their code, an mine primarily needs to run on Linux despite often working on it in OS X. Ruby does that beautifully now. I can't see spending time on Swift until it runs across Unix flavors. That

I hit the gym two or three times a week to lift heavy (e.g., squat, deadlift, overhead press) and go for a walk most days. The walks are hardly a breakneck pace—I'm carrying on a conversation, stopping to check out wildflowers, and obs

Yeah, I look at my residence as a depreciating asset that consumes time and money. We'll see how the so-called investment aspect works out for people once interest rates start returning to historical norms.

Yeah, I thought about switching to a different provider for a few minutes but the time it would take is worth more than $20 to me. Plus, their free service has been working perfectly for years, so why switch now?

Mis-quoting Churchill: R is the worst numerics software, except for all those others I've tried from time to time. I've used R extensively for analyzing network simulation results databases that run in the tens or hundreds of MB.

There's also the question of where the money will come from to improve the technology. One of the benefits of BTC is the low transaction cost. But it might be that those transaction costs are exactly what's needed to fund exchange

I sure screwed up my recollection on that one. I confused the CPD taking over from the League of Women Voters in '87 and greatly dumbing down the format with the CPD raising standards for party inclusion in the debates in 2000.
