Theoretical investigation for excitation light and fluorescence signal of fiber optical sensor using tapered fiber tip |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 22, pp. 21515-21523 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1035 KB)
For fiber optical sensor made of tapered fiber tip, the effects of the geometrical parameters of tapered tip on two important factors have been investigated. One factor is the intensity of the evanescent wave into fluorescent layer through core-medium interface; the other is the intensity of fluorescence signal transmitted from fluorescent layer to measurement end. A dependence relation of the intensity of fluorescence signal transmitted from fluorescent layer to measurement end upon the geometrical parameters of tapered tip has been obtained. Theoretical results show that the intensity of the evanescent wave into fluorescent layer rises with the decrease of the end diameter of tapered tip, and the increase of the tip length; and the transmitted power of fluorescence signal increases linearly with the increase of the tip length due to the contribution of the side area of tapered tip.

"There's a lot of new elements. I wouldn't say we've completely changed this world, and yet it's completely different. There are new characters, new situations. I don't think we revisit a single location. Michael really has a great way of approaching this thing."
While Transformers 4 will mark the start of a whole new trilogy, it is believed that Michael Bay will not return to direct Transformers 5 and Transformers 6. The producer revealed that he hopes the director does come back, although that is not set in stone.
"I can't speak for Michael. I hope he would [direct the next two]. It would be great, but it's certainly something in our design of this. It's going to be an ongoing story, so the possibility, again, as long as the audience shows up for us, there's a lot of story still to be told."
When asked whether or not Shia LaBeouf will make a cameo appearance as Sam Witwicky, the producer revealed that may be possible, if something evolved within the story.
"I don't believe that would be true. You never know. Things are not set in stone, and if something evolved and that came naturally. That wouldn't be the intention. The intention is this is new world, with new characters, with Mark Wahlberg leading us. It's a different movie, but a lot of the things that you love about the other ones are joining the ride."
Transformers: Age of Extinction was released June 27th, 2014 and stars Nicola Peltz, Mark Wahlberg, John Goodman, T.J. Miller, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, Jack Reynor. The film is directed by Michael Bay.

State and Clemson advance on Thursday of the ACC tournament by Martin Rickman Twitter Email Posted: Fri Mar. 14, 2014 Boris Bojanovksy's last-second dunk gave FSU the win over Maryland. (Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)Florida State 67, Maryland 65: While other bubble teams like Arkansas and Georgetown likely played their way out of the The Dance in their conference tournaments, Boris Bojanovsky's (12 points, 12 rebounds) dunk with :0.4 to play kept the Seminoles' hopes alive.Maryland's hot shooting -- particularly from Seth Allen (18 points, 4-of-7 from deep) -- in the first half put the Terps on top after they fell behind early. The 'Noles stormed back with a big run of their own in the second half, but their offense stalled, allowing the Terrapins to get back in it. Dez Wells, who had 18 points of his own, tied the game with two free throws before FSU's final possession ended in the Bojo dunk.The loss closes the book on Maryland's storied ACC history. The Terps will be playing in the Big Ten next season. While the lawsuits and the handwringing has soured some ACC fans on Maryland in the short term, it's still going to be super weird and not-so-great that the Terrapins will no longer be playing against Duke or UNC or Virginia.Pittsburgh 84, Wake Forest 55: In a game Pitt desperately needed to have, the Panthers put on a show against the Demon Deacons. Pittsburgh crashed the boards, got in the passing lanes and showed patience against multiple defenses to pretty much get anything it wanted against a Wake team that barely looked like it wanted to be there at all after beating Notre Dame on Wednesday. Lamar Patterson looked like the player that helped the Panthers jump out to 16-1 earlier this season, finishing with 24 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals.Jeff Bzdelik's future with Wake Forest continues to remain in doubt. The fourth-year coach (51-76, 17-51 ACC) finally got the team above .500 to end the season, thanks in part to the 313th ranked non-conference schedule, but the team still wasn't playing consistently good basketball over the course of the season. The Duke, UNC and N.C. State wins are nice in a vacuum, but they aren't enough to ignore the awful effort on the boards, the inability to score for prolonged periods of time, the poor starts to the second half, the horrific conference road record and the bad free throw shooting. Ron Wellman has a decision to make, especially with a large portion of the fan base clamoring for Bzdelik's tenure to end.N.C. State 67, Miami 58: T.J. Warren and Ralston Turner combined to score 46 points as the Wolfpack moved past the Hurricanes to earn a date with Syracuse on Friday. Warren dazzled with a variety of moves, going 9-of-18 from the floor and adding eight rebounds. The ACC player of the year is good enough to keep State in any game, and he'll have his chances to put up a lot of points if he can find the soft spots in the Syracuse zone.For Miami and Jim Larrañaga, this year has to be thought of as a net win. With super low expectations and just about every contributor from last year gone, the 'Canes had a winning season and saw players like freshman Davon Reed make big strides. Plus, next year star point guard recruit Ja'Quan Newton out of Philadelphia and shooting guard Deandre Burnett, a top 100 prospect who redshirted this year after a wrist injury, will be in the mix.Clemson 69, Georgia Tech 65 (OT): This was the quintessential Thursday night late game at the ACC tournament. Very little flow, mistakes, low-scoring, poor shooting, echoes from the empty seats in the upper deck. In other words, it was pretty much the ideal script Clemson would have written up before the game, aside from that whole overtime thing. The Tigers got to 20 wins this year on the strength of their defense and on the stellar play of K.J. McDaniels. But Clemson was never really good enough in games when McDaniels didn't play well -- except against Georgia Tech. The junior shot just 33.3 percent in the two regular season meetings against the Yellow Jackets, and he was 4-of-15 with 18 points and five turnovers on Thursday. With him pressing, the Tigers' offense stalled far too often, and that allowed GT to take a big lead in the second half. But Clemson got to the line frequently and made enough of its free throws to force overtime and steal a win in bonus time. The Tigers will play Duke on Friday. Promoted Stories Comments

Lawmakers Plan to Question Coventry CEO Over Contract Issues
Kentucky lawmakers will get their first chance tomorrow to ask a private Medicaid operator why its having so much trouble negotiating contracts with healthcare providers.
The CEO of CoventryCares will speak to lawmakers at a meeting of the Interim Joint Health and Welfare Committee. Coventry has been fighting with the Eastern Kentucky hospital network Appalachian Regional Healthcare over reimbursement rates and a new contract.
"You know if he sits there and stonewalls and don't answer some very simple questions or questions that seem to be bothering people about their operations then I think he'll be silly not to respond," says House committee chairman Tom Burch.
Lawmakers will also get their first chance to meet the new Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary Audrey Haynes. Haynes, who was hired toward the end of this year's regular session, has met with various legislative leaders, but she hasn't yet to appear before the committee.
"You know anything can happen at these meetings, questions can pop up and once the Secretary is there, she didn't say that she was just there to greet us and give us an overview or something. I'm sure some questions will be asked of her," says Burch.

Hi everybody! Sorry, some mail changes broke my subscription to this list. :( A colleague forwarded the question to me, but my reply will have lost the thread - I hope you can still relate it. Rich Prohaska <prohaska@stripped> wrote: > Hello, > I noticed that mysql_install_db is a perl script in mysql-5.6.8-rc on > linux. In 5.6.7-rc, it was a shell script. Both the shell and perl > variants of this script are included in the source. Why was this > change made? Of "mysql_install_db", there is both a shell and a Perl variant since long. Until 5.6.7-rc, the shell variant was included on Unix binary packages, and the Perl variant in Windows ones. However, the Perl variant was barely used, because there is the separate installer on Windows. So it went undetected that the Perl variant lacked some changes which were applied to the shell variant, two scripts that were meant to do the same effectively diverged. Clearly, this needed to be corrected - and the Perl variant should not be dropped, for those Windows users that could not use the separate installer. Also, more functionality was needed in "mysql_install_db", which could be implemented in Perl better than in shell. Because of this, it was decided to add the missing changes to the Perl variant and to implement the new functions ("--random-passwords") in the Perl variant only. Currently, the shell variant has not yet been removed, in case some subtle problem would still show up in the Perl variant. However, I expect this cleanup will soon follow, and the shell variant will be removed for clarity's sake (and to protect against fixing the wrong one). Do you ask out of curiosity, or are there any usage differences for you? Regards, Jörg Brühe -- Joerg Bruehe, MySQL Build Team, joerg.bruehe@stripped (+49 30) 417 01 487 ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.

A lot of dedicated servers!
Since I am opening a ad network soon, I will need atleast 3 redundant dedicated servers... I am looking at not paying more than 250/month for each and each must have 256 mb ram (512 preferable), 20 gig hd, linux red hat (good server admin, like plesk) and 150 gig bandwidth each, cheap extra bandwidth. Anyone know of a place that can offer this? I know if you lease servers in bulk you get them cheaper, and so far I have gotten a good 150 million publisher impressions signed up and I am tryign to limit my script and the server to just around 50 million impressions/month each.
Also anyone here who has a ad network I have a question do you place the advertisers images on your server or theres, and if on your server do you charge the advertiser for the bandwidth? Also does anyone have a good contract from ad rep to advertiser? My lawyer is making me one, but I want to go over it with him and atleast have a good example. Well please let me know if you know of dedicated host like that or if you can answer my questions about advertising...

Prince George may only be two days old, but hey, it's never too early to start thinking about what other rugrats (royal or otherwise) he might find himself hanging out with in the near future, right?
After all, the kid's got plenty of time to kill between now and whenever he takes over the throne.
Could the young fella soon be spending time with Harper Beckham? Perhaps a little face-time with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter, North? Sharing the sandbox with Sienna Miller's little lady, Marlowe?
NEWS: Royal baby gets his name
And given how Penélope Cruz gave birth to her daughter on the same day Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed their son, the two could totally have joint birthday bashes.
Of course, there's always Elton John and David Furnish's boys, Zachary and Elijah. C'mon, one of their dads cowrote the soundtrack to the freakin' Lion King!

Billy Graham: 'Control freak' may actually be lonely or depressed
DEAR BILLY GRAHAM: I suppose you've heard of "control freaks" — you know, people who try to control us or run our lives. Well, that describes my mother precisely. She's a widow and I'm her only child, but does that give her the right to interfere with my life all the time? — E.G.
DEAR E.G.: No, it doesn't entitle her to keep interfering and trying to control you, especially now that you're an adult and married. It's no accident the Bible says part of God's pattern for marriage is that "a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife" (Genesis 2:24).
At the same time, I hope you'll try to see things through your mother's eyes, as best you can. No doubt she feels all alone; her husband has passed away, and now you're no longer part of her life (at least like you once were). I can't help but wonder if her attempts to interfere are actually driven by loneliness, or at least by a feeling on her part that life has lost its meaning. I may be wrong, but you might think about it.
Situations like this can be difficult to resolve, but let me make three brief suggestions. First, take the initiative to keep in touch with your mother. Elsewhere, you complain about how often she calls you, but do you ever call to find out what's happening in her life? Over time, it might keep her from prying so much into your life.
Then gently but firmly remind her that while you love her and value her, you and your husband have your own family now, and you hope she'll respect that. In addition, pray for her, and urge her to put her hope in Christ — and also become more active in her church.

Hainesville is a village in the Avon Township of Lake County, Illinois, United States. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 3,597.[1] Hainesville has the distinction of being the oldest incorporated community within Lake County.
In 1838, a young boy named Elijah M. Haines (1822–1889) and his family moved from New York to the Chicago area. In 1836, the young boy purchased a farm in Hainesville. During the winter of 1841–42, Haines taught school in Waukegan, Illinois (then known as Little Fort). In 1846, he surveyed and platted Hainesville. On February 26, 1847, the village incorporation papers were drafted. It is recorded that Elijah Haines met Abraham Lincoln in 1847. The two men met frequently and became well acquainted. It has been said[by whom?] that Lincoln spent the night in Hainesville a few times.
In 1848, construction began on the Lake and McHenry Plank Road. By 1851, the road was completed to Squaw Creek just west of Hainesville, and the settlement became the location for one of three toll houses.
In 1851, Haines was accepted to the bar, and a year later he moved to Waukegan. In 1859, he was sent to the state legislature where he served eight terms. He was a member of the Illinois Constitutional Convention of 1869-70 and is considered by some historians to have been its most influential member.
Hainesville was becoming a thriving village, but the village all but disappeared off the map until recent years. In 1899, the Milwaukee Road railroad expanded into Lake County, providing convenient transportation from the area into Chicago. Local land owner, general store proprietor and Hainesville postmaster George Battershall asked for a large sum of money to build a train station in Hainesville. Milwaukee Road had no other options in Hainesville as the railway entered and exited the village of Hainesville on Battershall's property (essentially everything south of the Plank Road in Hainesville). Amarias M. White, an early settler of what is now Round Lake, knowing that a railroad stop in Round Lake would spark commerce for his area, attracted the railroad company by offering the land for a depot for free. Unfortunately for Hainesville, commerce did start to move away from Hainesville and into Round Lake, as well as neighboring Grayslake.
The Hainesville post office closed in 1919. A few years later, the old wooden Hainesville School was destroyed by a tornado. In 1940, a new brick structure school was built near the Belvidere Road and Main Street split, but in 1945 the school became part of the Round Lake School system. In 1982, the building became Hainesville's village hall until 2005 when a new hall was built on Hainesville Road.
After several decades of being not much more than a handful of crossroads, Hainesville finally exploded into a sprawling suburban neighborhood. In 1990, large parcels of what was once farm land to the east of Hainesville Road and north of Belvidere Road were developed into Misty Hill Farm by U.S. Shelter Group. In 1994 Deerpoint Trails was built by Deer Point Homes. In 2000, land around the south side of the former cranberry bog appropriately named Cranberry Lake just east of Hainesville Road was developed into homes. In 2001, the former Softball City, a multi-use sports complex adjacent to the Avon Township Youth Baseball Organization facilities, sold its land to Ryland Homes, and this became the townhouse community called Union Square.
In 2002, Grayslake Community Consolidated School District (CCSD) 46 built the kindergarten to 4th grade Prairieview School on Belvidere Road. In 2003, the land to the north of Cranberry Lake, just south of Washington Street, was developed into a townhouse community called Cranberry Lake North.
Despite a census just being taken in 2000, a special census was requested in 2004 due to the explosive growth of the area. This census yielded a population totaling 3,444, up over 60% from what it was only four years prior.
Hainesville is located at 42°20′56″N 88°4′7″W / 42.34889°N 88.06861°W (42.348754, -88.068743).[2]
According to the 2010 census, the village has a total area of 1.81 square miles (4.7 km2), of which 1.78 square miles (4.6 km2) (or 98.34%) is land and 0.03 square miles (0.078 km2) (or 1.66%) is water.[3]
Major streets[edit]
As of the census[4] of 2000, there were 2,129 people, 701 households, and 586 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,221.2 people per square mile (472.4/km²). There were 716 housing units at an average density of 410.7 per square mile (158.9/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 86.10% White, 1.74% African American, 0.09% Native American, 5.64% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 4.60% from other races, and 1.78% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 9.30% of the population.
Due to the explosive growth within Lake County, a special census was requested in 2004 yielding a population totaling 3,444.
There were 701 households out of which 54.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 75.2% were married couples living together, 6.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 16.4% were non-families. 11.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 1.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.04 and the average family size was 3.33.
In the village the population was spread out with 34.5% under the age of 18, 4.7% from 18 to 24, 48.5% from 25 to 44, 9.4% from 45 to 64, and 2.9% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 30 years. For every 100 females there were 102.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 97.7 males.
The median income for a household in the village was $69,938, and the median income for a family was $73,828. Males had a median income of $55,353 versus $33,750 for females. The per capita income for the village was $22,250. About 2.6% of families and 3.9% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.3% of those under age 18 and none of those age 65 or over.

A man, David Kurt McClain, suffering from ALS or Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge, reported the Huffington Post. David, a US citizen from Texas, posted his video and it focuses on the cause and not the celebrities indulging in it.
He suffers from motor neuron disease, commonly known as ALS in the United States. For more than twelve years, he's been suffering and is paralysed from the shoulder downwards. He still maintains a positive attitude and took part in the challenge to help himself and others suffering from the disease.
In the video he posted, using a speech synthesizer necessary for him to communicate, he explained the disease and those on his Facebook page to take the challenge as well as make donations.
The ALS Association has organised the Ice Bucket Challenge in order to raise funds for the cause. The challenge involves posting a video of one pouring ice cold water over their heads and then nominating three others to do the same. If a person fails to do so, a donation should be made with amounts between $10 and $100, decided by the person who nominated them.
Celebrities like David Beckham, Mark Zuckerberg, Ricky Gervais, John Terry have also taken part in the challenge while many others like United States President, Barack Obama, and Charlie Sheen, preferred to make donations.
The challenge has been an absolute success with the organisation rasing almost 32 million dollars, almost eight times of what was collected in the previous years.
The ALS Association wrote on it's Web site, "Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralysed."

Georgia and Our Priorities for 2013
Georgia State House Speaker Rep. David Ralson (R-Blue Ridge) gave some clues to the Republican-controlled State House's 2013 Agenda. Looking over his statements it's evident that our priorities as a state in 2013 are severely off-track. According to Ralston, he's got a "$300 million" revenue problem in 2013. What's the reason for the loss?
1. Poor people – Ralston cites the $300 million as a shortfall in the Medicaid program. You mean the same one he's been putting off for a few years now while also borrowing from the Medicaid fund ? Yep. The same one that Gov. Deal is refusing over $30 BILLION from the federal government to fund over 10 years? Yep. The same money that State Senator Judson Hill in the article calls "Crack dollars"? Yep
2. No tax increases – How antiquated is Georgia's tax code? See for yourself.
3. By diverting $1 billion (that's $1,000,000,000, and over 3 times the amount of the shortfall) to a new sports stadium for the Falcons?…Um, yeah, because that's a great idea? Nope
4. New Ethics laws with fees attached?…Not if Rep. Larry O'Neal (R-Bonaire) is chairing it as Ralston states…Here's why. And what are these "practical issues" that Ralston mentions? Oh yeah, these.
Other tidbits – After the Hospital Bed Tax debacle in 2010, Speaker Ralston says he's "not familiar with a hospital bed tax"….WOW really dude? You don't even know one of the most fought-over and controversial bills from 2010?…Just 2 years ago?
So who is really the one on crack here? I think we know the answer to that one.
5 Responses to Georgia and Our Priorities for 2013
Dave Bearse says:
Ralston is ill-informed as to details of the $300M hole if he's not familiar with the $200M a year bed tax and its June 2013 expiration.
If the $300M assumes the tax sunsets, extending the bed tax and abolishing the private school tax credit nearly plugs a $300M hole. If not, it's a nearly twice as big $500M hole.
Dave Bearse says:
Ralston may be talking out of the other side of his mouth as concerns a revenue hole when the time comes for an increase in the $50M private school scholarship tax credit (the abolishment of which, would knock out 15% of the hole all by itself).

I sounds as if you have a 2 channel amp that is rather hot for the speakers, 2 channels with either a 4 ohm rating or a lower 8 ohm rating. If you put a 450 w 4 ohm speaker and at 300 w 4 ohm speaker in series on each channel, you will be close to okay. If the amp is rated 800 w on each channel at 800 ohm. However a really loud prolonged note could blow the 300w speaker in each pair. You would be better to put a 2 ohm 225 W resistor in series with each pair of speakers for more perfect assurance that you won't destroy your speakers. For example, this resistor.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Posted: 10/13/2013 1:06 PM | Comments: 0
It was Fred Shero — the legendary coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, member of the hockey hall of fame and a Winnipegger, to boot — who uttered the famous quote which might be the perfect mantra for Evander Kane and the Winnipeg Jets.
'Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion," said Shero. "You must first set yourself on fire.'
Led by Kane — who served up another in a series of solid performances this season — and goaltender Al Montoya, the Jets served up a combustible effort in Sunday night's 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils at MTS Centre that snaps a three-game losing skid and evens their record at 3-3.
Kane scored twice, took a game-high eight shots, and banged out five hits in a win that was the picture of a complete effort by the Jets.
"That's the way we have to play as a team," said Kane. "(The physical play) brings the emotion out of the game, the intensity and the pace. When everybody's playing physical it's hard for referees to call physical penalties. It makes for an intense game and you have to be on your toes and be aware of what's going on.
"I take it upon myself to be one of the leaders in this room and on the ice. Whatever area I feel I need to lead in, whatever the situation is in the game, I want to do that."
The Jets out-hit the Devils 31-18, with Zach Bogosian registering seven to lead Winnipeg. And it spoke of a dramatic improvement in the home side's compete level — an area that was stressed after the two most-recent losses to Dallas and Minnesota.
"It reiterates our point that we need to be physical, to be intense, to pressure all over the ice," said Kane. "And when you do that you see the turnovers you can create."
"I thought it was a way better game," added coach Claude Noel. "It looked like the team we thought we had. I thought we really managed the puck well, our compete level was really good. I thought we did a lot of good things. We played a very smart 1-0 game. We were very committed and unselfish. A lot of good play from a lot of players tonight."
Al Montoya hasn't played a lot for the Jets — Sunday was just his sixth start — but he has given the club some solid netminding when his name is called. He kicked out 24 shots from the Devils and got some inspired play from the men in front of him, who blocked 19 shots.
"He played well," said Noel. "That's not an easy role to play when you come in after playing five games and you haven't played very much. But he's done that last year. I thought Montoya was really, really good. I don't know if he had to be spectacular, but he was good. He was big in the net and I thought he helped us out."
Asked if he might have a goalie controversy on his hands, Noel grinned, then added:
"I'll leave it up to you guys to create one, if you'd like.
"His game was great. He's played in tough situations. He did it last year, he's done it again this year. It's not an easy game to play when you watch your team play five and then you're under the gun. There was a lot of pressure on Al and I thought he handled it superb, just like he did last season.
"He doesn't make me nervous when he goes into the net. He's been working good. (Goaltending coach) Wade Flaherty's had him prepared for awhile. He's done a great job."
Jacob Trouba didn't hear his name called as one of the three stars — Montoya, Kane and Dustin Byfuglien were honoured — but the Jets' 19-year-old rookie was solid again. He led the team in ice time with 26:36, was a plus 2, dished out three hits, was an offensive threat occasionally and gave more hints that his game is multi-layered.
"I guess that's why I'm here, to play," said Trouba when asked for his thoughts on leading the Jets in ice time again. "I don't know... it is what it is. I'm used to playing like that with my past teams so it's not any different for me."
"He's a very good player right now for us," added Noel. "What can you say? He plays with a lot of poise. He shakes off mistakes. He plays with a large amount of confidence. He's just a good player. You watch the details in his game: he skates, he manages the net real well, around the net real well. He makes smart decisions. He's playing very well.
The Jets' six-game homestand hits the halfway mark Tuesday night when the Montreal Canadiens are in town, followed by visits from St. Louis, Nashville and Washington.

I've been building/maintaining towers since 1991, and I said goodbye to all but one machine this month. I don't know why I kept it. I turn it on once a month.
Maybe you want a desktop for storage. Laptops are shipping with more than 1 TB of storage, and you can replace a desktop with one or two USB 3.0 enclosures with 4 TB (or larger) 7200 RPM drives for a few hundred bucks.
Eventually laptops will be dead, too. A more interesting question might be who will be the last laptop vendor and when will nearly all people finish the switch to tablets, phones, watches, or perhaps nearly invisible computing.

Comment: Less time wasted on stupid trivia (Score 5, Insightful) 227
Yale professors' ideas of being knowledgeable in a subject come from their experience lecturing students.
I've been getting paid to do programming for almost 30 years. Google has changed programming such that you no longer have to memorize the useless trivia that college professors lecture about.
I program in three programming languages on a daily basis, JavaScript, PHP, and Perl. Some days I barely touch Perl. But the difference between my programming style today and 15 years ago is that I never use books. I don't memorize the exact syntax or idioms of any language. Anything that I can find within 5 minutes on Google I don't bother to learn anymore.
As a result I can focus on improving my ability to program as a generalist, and I'm very good at what I do. If you asked me to write a bit of non-trivial code in anything but pseudo-code, I would very likely not get the syntax exactly right (unless you asked me to write it in C, which I learned before the days of Google).
Google allows us to not be smart at things that are a waste of our time to learn in the first place. We can have a much more broad knowledge of many subjects and use Google to drill down on specifics, rather than having the type of knowledge that professors crave, being completely pigeon-holed into one speciality where you have all of the trivial detail memorized.
Can I rattle off every type of tree structure, and tell you what tree is good for what problem? No. In the days of Google, that type of knowledge is useless. You ought to know when you need to use a tree structure of some sort and you can spend an hour or two making that determination, or if the decision is critical you can spend a day on it. Effectively, those weeks or months we spent in computer science/computer engineering classes learning all of these very specific attributes of data structures were a waste.
To generalize, consider everything you can easily find with Google to be part of your knowledge. Memorizing it would be a complete waste of time. But that very waste of time seems to be what these professors were measuring (and valuing!)

Comment: Estimates (Score 1) 347
I've been programming for about 30 years and it took me at least 20 years to learn how to make good estimates. If you can't estimate how long something is going to take, then you probably haven't been doing it long enough. I don't care what your field is, or even if it's engineering or not.
Programming is just like any engineering endeavor. Be a professional and admit that not every job is a weekend hack. If you work somewhere where you have to lie about work taking less time than it takes, then quit that job and go work somewhere else.
One difference between a so-so programmer and a great programmer is someone who finishes his or her work when he or she says he or she will. There are other differences, such as communication skills or lack thereof, but having people be able to trust you is pretty key.
Another way of looking at is this. Programming cannot be rushed. That doesn't mean tell people it will be done when it's done! What it does mean is learn to estimate the worst case scenario. You will not be punished for writing a great piece of software and finishing it a few weeks early. You will be punished for saying it will be finished by a date assuming that nothing will go wrong at all and that you are some kind of programming genius, better than every other programmer out there.
Consider this example. I think I might be able to finish something in a week. The estimate I give is two weeks. Another programmer typically says a job of roughly the same magnitude will be done "in a few days." I have given myself plenty of time to do the job right, and extra time to fix bugs and possibly deliver the project early. The other programmer screwed up and it does take him a week. After a week, his work has tons of bugs. It goes out to production and every one of those bugs is embarassing and takes man days to resolve, rather than a few man hours. I've seen this scenario happen many times. Programmers fall into this trap of their own making. Maybe it has something to do with machismo. Stop pretending to be more manly or smarter than you are and be a professional.

I also looked at the numbers, and by far the H1Bs are going to California. Only 2,000 made their way to my state. Companies in California want you to live there, paying $3,000 or more per month in rent plus high taxes and everything else but aren't willing to pay you enough to be able to afford it. Since they've run out of people to con into moving to California, they've turned to H1Bs.

Owing to the vast distances between planets likely to have intelligent life, machines are likely the only alien things you'll ever see. Owing to the energy expense of traveling vast distances, they will likely be very tiny machines, like nanobots from science fiction. Due to the speed of light and hence radio communications, the machines won't be able to be in contact with their makers, at least without significant transmission delays; therefore, the machines will likely possess advanced intelligence on their own.
Having said all that, we could very easily have been invaded many times over by intelligent nanobots from space. They would have been completely undetectable until maybe a few decades ago and perhaps are clever enough to continue to escape detection. Our planet is highly unexplored. We've only cataloged a tiny percentage of life. We've barely glimpsed into the deep oceans. We're also quite ignorant about the underground, as we're drilling for oil right now and have no clue what might even cause an earthquake (so we're ignorant about not just tiny things, but features gigantic enough (possibly miles in diameter) to produce earthquakes).
In fact, the very cells in our bodies could be invaded by aliens disguised inside bacteria or viruses. How many of these bacteria and viruses have we even looked at under a microscope? We have trillions of these organisms. Imagine the power of one million compute nodes that could hide in less than 1% of our cells. And right under our noses is just one possibility among many.
Maybe the world is like the Matrix, except the robots are tiny instead of massive with a little bit of Scientology thrown in, where our bodies have an alien presence inside of them (but not the part about stealing people's money).

Game reviews are good at generally identifying the best games, but I wouldn't rely on them for more than a very rough metric. You simply have to play a game to know if you like it.
The best game review I've ever experienced was a live stream of a well-known GTA V speed runner playing the game on next generation hardware. Speed runners know games almost as intimately as the programmers do. The conclusions of the speed runner were dead on. The game has beautiful graphics, but playability had declined in many areas. He immediately noticed very long load times. And what do you know, after a few months people are complaining on Youtube about load times for GTA V on next generation hardware. One thing that I notice on Youtube is that pop in seems to be worse on next generation than previous generation. That's sad.
This 8 hour or so run (I wasn't tuning in continuously) convinced me to not buy a PS 4, a new television, or the next generation version of GTA V. I may take the plunge when the Windows version is released, but I'm going to see how the speed runners like the game. They notice everything right off the bat.
I'm perfectly happy with the PS 3 version of GTA V. It's the only game I play when I'm in the mood for video games.

I felt like with the Galaxy S III, the smartphone was beginning to take a quantum leap forward in features. Especially for the last year, though, it seems like there isn't much to crow about except for some fingerprint functionality nobody uses. Phones are getting a bit more memory, somewhat faster CPUs, a bit better screens, and improved cameras but you would expect all of these things. In terms of new and interesting features, it seems like we're in a mature market where we've all decided upon what it means for a device to be a smartphone.
Perhaps Cyanogen will bring some excitement back. At worst, they'll come up with some new ideas that Samsung can license or copy. I'm using Samsung as an example, but I could be talking about HTC or one of the Chinese startups. I don't see a whole lot to distinguish current smartphones (except that Samsung does not permanently glue batteries inside of its products).

My new phone is my new iPad Mini. Replaced my iPhone.
Hey guys. I know a few people have been wondering about replacing their iPhone with a new iPad Mini which is exactly what I did. There aren't many people who've done this so far so I thought I'd give a small account.
I had an iPhone 4S with ATT with 450 min (39.99) grandfathered "unlimited" data (30.00) & grandfathered 200 txt (5.00) = $75+10 tax so about $85 a month. With my iPad Mini, I now pay for a no contract ATT 3GB data plan (30.00) & Line2 which includes unlimited minutes & txts through VOIP (9.99) = about $41 tax included. I'm very happy with the savings and have had no problems with the Line2 service. I wasn't using my phone much for calls anymore and the 200 txts was seriously limiting my txt usage even though I had WhatsApp installed. My data usage hovered around 3GB or less a month, depending on if I worked from home or not so all this made my decision a bit easier. Now the user experience. It's definitely different carrying the iPad Mini around in my hand at all times like a book especially since I've had some sort of phone in my pocket since 1998. I bought a nice black leather Yoobao Executive case for it so it doesn't even look like I'm carrying a Mini around unless I have my Apple earbuds attached to it while I'm talking. I may purchase a bluetooth headset for it though so then it'll be even less noticeable. As far as carrying it with me everywhere, it does have it's limitations that I can easily work around. Really the only places I don't take my Mini is to a bar/club or Six Flags but I had stopped taking my iPhone to those places anyway for fear of losing the phone. And I'm not into using your phone when out on a date or at a bar/restaurant. I'd rather engage in conversation & making eye contact with a person rather than looking down at my device. So my iPad Mini stays in the car on those occasions. I know you can come up with all kinds of situations where I would need a phone/my iPad Mini in a hurry or to check up on something but really it's not that hard to make it work. I'm 31 so I do remember what life was like before cell phones. I can do without it for an hour when necessary. BUT if I REALLY needed a phone for those times when I couldn't have my Mini with me (like on a jog), I could easily purchase a cheap Tracfone and it would still be nothing compared to what I was paying with my monthly plan. As far as the iPad Mini's operation goes, all I can say is it works flawlessly like every other Apple product I've bought within the past year. I hate to oversimplify but it really is my iPhone but bigger, making it more efficient for ME. YMMV. I know there's more I could cover like how great navigation is with it, or the longer battery life, etc.. but I'd like to have other people experimenting with the iPad Mini as their phone to comment (you have to have it to know how nice it works as a main mobile device) or anyone with questions

This is really interesting to note, OP. Thanks. I've been wanting to do this with my mini when my contract is up in March with AT&T. I was thinking the next iPad mini purchase would be LTE and I'll go google voice and talkatone while keeping my 4S too. Talkatone was a godsend in Europe last summer. Took out my AT&T sim, and it seriously was like I was still always connected with the free wifi in and around many European cities.
As far as emergencies, remember that all cell phones as long as they power on can make emergency calls in the US. Therefore, if you have any phone on you and are in dire straits or need help, you can always get it. Granted that doesn't help if you're trying to not carry a phone with you at all, but I figure one might as well carry a dumb phone in the bag or the car for that. This is something I very well may try out in 2013, as there's a great chance I'm not going to re-up with AT&T and upgrade.

I can't tell if this thread is meant to be a joke or not. We typically have lots of Apple loyalists on this forum bashing anything bigger than 3.5 or 4 inches for a phone and here you are saying you use a 7.9 inch iPad Mini as a phone and carry it around with you everywhere. Do you remember all those pictures of people taking photos with their iPads? What if you are meeting with clients and need to make a call? It's going to be pretty awkward pulling out a huge tablet out of your pants everywhere. You would be committing social faux pas with everything you do.

You could have done the same setup with the iPhone couldn't you? I mean doing it with the mini is pretty cool, but from a cost savings standpoint using your existing phone would work as well. And if you unlocked your iphone you could always pop in a cheap prepaid sim if you just had to have cell service.
I've been doing some experimenting with the Obi 110 / Obi app and it's pretty cool, need to look into line2 some more though, thanks for the post. |

Pair Google Voice with Talkatone (VOIP) and it is free calls without using minutes. I know this for certain as I don't have a plan and can use this setup to make and receive calls, send and receive texts too (both via free wifi).
Maybe on an iPhone things work a little different, but can't you use the wifi-only functionality with Talkatone + GV to avoid burning minutes? Last edited by HobeSoundDarryl; Dec 24, 2012 at 01:45 PM. |

Laughing at all of those who say it's impossible to do this, or that the iPad mini isn't a "real" phone. With a data package and various VOIP options, it certainly is possible. You can have a real phone number with your local area code (or even port your current number over in many cases).
It's not a phone you want to hold up to your head to speak into, but it certainly is a very portable speaker phone. Or can be used with earbuds which include a mic. Or even with a bluetooth headset. For those who don't want to walk around with a headset on their head, you could use something like this in your shirt pocket: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HM5000.../dp/B007L429MK And yes, you could do the same thing with an iPhone....ditch the voice and text plan and just use data for VOIP. Or get the $30 a month T-mobile plan with 100 minutes voice, and Unlimited Texts and 5GB high speed data. There are lots of ways to do this without spending a fortune. Right now you need to be a bit creative and savvy to get the optimum setup. People can't believe I spend just $30 a month for phone and data which I can tether to my iPad, but as soon as I start explaining how I do it, their eyes just glaze over! But it really isn't that difficult to figure out. My guess is eventually this will be the way mobile phone service works....the service will be just a data plan and the handset will be configured to use data for voice, text, and web, indistinguishable from how current cell phones work....but instead of buying a package of minutes, texts, and GB, there will just be different sized data packages. Would love a carrier to just sell a pay for what you use plan. I think T-mobile may have something along these lines in the works. They hinted that their upcoming offering will not be traditional service plans. Also they already have VOIP apps for other phones that route calls over wi-fi when available. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see these as features of their upcoming phone plans. Sort of what Republic Wireless ( http://www.republicwireless.com ) is doing with android handsets, but with iOS devices. Last edited by BruiserB; Dec 25, 2012 at 12:28 PM. |

Try an app called "GV Phone" it reroutes your google voice account with Google talk and works just like a VOIP. "Talkatone" does the same thing.

You can use GV over 4g? I wasn't aware of that. That's why I use Line 2 for my work number so it's always connected even w/o wifi.

I think another app is called Talkatone https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/talk...397648381?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/phon...541829441?mt=8 I would stick to texting from the Google made Google Voice app though as GV Phone sends hidden links in it's text messages to your contacts.

there is now way i could live with the mini only. i might get a cheap android phone, and turn the cellular data, so it's being used only for making calls and sms only.
easier to see my post. |

I was considering doing something like this. I recently ported my personal number to Line2, but I still have an iPhone 5 with my work number. When I finish at the job, I think I'm going to do what you're doing and get a data plan and an LTE iPad mini, but I'm going to hold onto my iPhone 5 and pop the sim card from the iPad mini into it if I'm going places where I don't want to bring the iPad mini.

The Nature of Nationalism in the Modern World
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1999 Professor Liah Greenfeld is an expert on the phenomenon of nationalism. She has held appointments as the John L. Loeb Associate Professor of Social Science at Harvard University, visiting professor at the École des Hautes Ludes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, and visiting associate professor in political science at MIT. At each of these institutions, Professor Greenfeld taught courses relating to the role of nationalism in shaping society, defining cultural identity, and in some cases providing the source and the justification for ethnic conflict. Greenfeld now teaches Political Science and Sociology at Boston University, where she focuses on the sociology of Russian and East European cultures and societies, as well as the cultural foundations of modernity on a world level. Greenfeld approaches the subject of ethnic conflict as a potential consequence of nationalism, and traces its roots to a culture's affinity for a nationalist state. Professor Greenfeld has been the recipient of many research awards, including a Mellon Fellowship in 1984, and a John M. Olin Research Fellowship in 1987. A prolific writer, Dr. Greenfeld's books include Center: Ideas and Institutions (1989), Different Worlds: A Study in the Sociology of Taste, Choice, and Success in Art (1989), and Nationalism: Five Roads to Modernity (1992). Dr. Greenfeld is currently studying national identity and political change in Russia, as well as a comparative analysis on the economic implications of nationalism. Greenfeld will be joining us at the Athenaeum to discuss the effect of nationalism on ethnic conflict as part of the series Ethnic Conflict in the Modern World cosponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies. |
