West Oakland is 10 minutes from downtown SF (Embarcadero station, nearest to the HSR terminal) by BART, and you can take any eastbound train, so you rarely have to wait more than 2-3 minutes during the day to catch one. The area is already

No, it specifically says it's tied to the grid for backup power. Section 4.3.

Of course. You need both. But that's not the typical failing of a developer.

This is a popular idea, but developers can also fall into the trap of thinking they can code their way through every problem. Tweeting and blogging especially may in fact be extremely important, if done well and purposefully. Same with (s

I'm curious what the "good reasons" for the foot thing are that aren't culturally embedded. If it were a live guru up there, I can kind of see it, but not the TV.

On some level I realize all of this. And one thing I did like is that it's really the least coercive of any sort of spiritual event I've ever tried. I've explored other facets of buddhism, and I'm always put off by bow

Thanks for posting this. It's nice to know someone had such a similar ride. Makes me wonder if we all were experiencing something similar. I'm considering doing it again, and this reminded me.

I'm with you there. OP's experience is startlingly similar to mine. I hated the chanting, the obvious eastern cultural bias (an overzealous assistant told me not to point my feet at the TV while GoenkaHeadroom was talking), the

Usability is also an accessibility concern. If you make something that is technically accessible to anyone, but difficult to use (because mobile web is harder for people), I'd argue you are cutting out more people than you are by limi

Nothing indicated that updates would be instantaneous. It can wait until the phone is plugged in. They also seem to have gone out of their way to minimize battery impact. Apps lifecycles are still controlled by the system, which can pres

We are pumping out liberal arts grads only in the sense of people having degrees. Most of them are not nearly so rigorously grounded as the kids taking the baccalaureate.

I've been places that claim exactly that. But if that were really true, then a much more effective way to do that would be to include engineers in the design meetings, the customer feedback sessions, and strategy discussions. In most open

Not just about auditory stimuli, it's also visual "noise".

That's about equivalent to saying that I did something first because I did it at 7:00 AM Pacific Time and you did it at 9:00 AM Eastern Time. I mean, clock time _is_ how we measure time, right? And 7 is clearly less than 9. Diagonal meas

A trick of perspective is a lesser lie than specifically claiming a smaller screen is bigger.

There's a simpler solution than lobbying to the problem of not enough tech workers: increase their earning power, prestige, respect, and autonomy.

Beyond that, RM has "real" named arguments based on the objective-C core.

To clarify: Ruby has public and private. You can control visibility all you want, you just don't have to use a separate header file.

I'm aware of all that, but of course you DO want to show things to the outside, all the time. I also know about the newer syntax, which is awesome the few times I still dip into ObjC, but I'm more thinking of map/each/select/detect/etc. T

I'm doing a serious project in RubyMotion at the moment. It doesn't save you having to know Objective-C, since all example code for doing anything in Cocoa are still in Objective-C, but it does save you from having to write in Objective-

There is a story here, but it is not as interesting as it seems. Current Netflix policy is pretty liberal about sharing, and they are considering tightening that up.

In the detailed guide it said that slurring, triplets, pretty much anything not specifically mentioned is unchanged.

So, that's just the mnemonic for remembering the names, which is only marginally interesting, and which I already called out for being anglo-centric in another comment. What I like is how easy it makes to spot, say, an octave, at a glance.

The embedded visual cue to the name of the note, plus the proportional sizing, seem really nice to me. The sharping, flatting, and lack of ascenders and descenders I'm not so sure about. You also lose the "wall of black notes" warning you
