Very slick UI. How is this done? Is the main UI HTML/Javscript or QT? I guess it's good that I can't immediately tell.

Not sure. I just gathered that much from the mailing list. My impression was they are using it for everything though.

Hipmunk is using it.

Wait, isn't the news here that the military is seeking a propaganda tool for organized astroturfing?

Yes. I think that's the entire point. Things like games and autocad have enormous codebases that will never be ported to javascript. It's still not clear how much an advantage that is though. You can already share assets via the network

The latest Mono 2.10 has NaCL support provided by Google. That means F#, C#, IronPython and IronRuby, and Java through IKVM, should work with little or no work. This is a very exciting technical development but it remains unclear what the

I've had this UI for days. It's definitely less of Google's typical 1990s retro style.

I think he has regrets. He lost a lot of money and most of his friends. A lot of people would say that learning about marketing and coding do not make it worth it.

How is this relationship any different from saying that if two Harvard professors publish together it receives more citations than if a Harvard and non-Harvard (remote) professor publish together. Seems pretty obvious given that the qualit

No repl is a bummer.

You have two options: try to get accredited enough to get hired directly or try to get accredited enough to get into a feeder program. I suspect that the latter is easier. Many good schools will give you a chance if you signal you have yo

I don't quite see the appeal of "Do It Yourself" strategy. Most people in top MBA or MFE programs are also "doing it themselves" on the side but have many more resources to draw upon. If you know for certain you want to be in business or f

I know nothing about N=NP debate, but does the claim P=NP and the existence of a published algorithm ( https://github.com/anjlab/sat3 ) make this claim easier to verify than the claim P!=NP. Isn't the point that P=NP has great practical si

It's built on top of bigtable, so presumably users can request the state of an object at any point in time just by specifying a timestamp with their query.

While your point is theoretically valid, the evidence in the academic literature suggests that the causal effect of education on earnings is roughly the same as one would get by doing a naive regression of earnings on education at the indiv

Gelman is also a political scientist and many of the book's examples are about elections and election forecasting, probably not topics the Chinese government likes citizens reading about.

What's the underlying motivation?
169.
by equark 16y ago
Google no, but I think it's a little naive to believe the Chinese aren't trying to do this. They would be incompetent if they didn't try to infiltrate Google, as the wikileaks documents suggest they did. Government backed corporate espionag

I trust Google as an organization but I don't trust individual googlers or governments that host Google resources. You can be sure that foreign agents and jealous boyfriends are part of Google's engineering staff.

I think inline async has its place. I'm hopeful this will speed adoption of PEP 380 which should cleanup the syntax a bit. I'd prefer C# 5's await keyword rather than yield from, but that's minor. That said, I agree that Python needs bett

He is still 10x better from the perspective of the employer. That's the point.

I don't see how it's really debatable that some programmers can be 10x more productive in certain domains. This is especially true in technical domains where it can take years to gain the knowledge required to solve the problem at all. I

Speaking of open-source programmer text editors, what's the best embeddable editor control for OSX? Sort of like a Scintilla for the OSX world.

I'm just pointing out that they seem to have copied UISplitView exactly, including how it adopts to smaller screens and landscape vs. portrait orientation. Split screens have been around for a while, but this implementation is very specifi

From that video it seems like Android still has performance issues compared to the iOS. The scrolling looked choppy and had a noticeable lag. Presumably this can be fixed, but I am always surprised that some phones still can't master smoo

I wish the couch guys would just focus on integrating the _changes feed into different languages. What I find appealing is their attempt to solve the distributed sync problem. That's useful, but adopting couchdb on all the clients doesn't

For monochrome icons, using font-face seems like a better idea than CSS. You get a ton of icons in one cacheable packet and can easily change the color, drop-shadow, opacity, etc using standard css. http://somerandomdude.com/articles/desi
