Cool! I've been looking at it for some projects. Can you link or maybe just explain what you use it for/with?


I'm using on intranet projects, making web 2.0 applications is a breeze with Dart, in pub.darlang.org you can get a list of projects and libraries using Dart.


Single page apps or more traditional approach with HTML generated on a server?


Single page apps.


Good point. Does the world champion also have to play through the rounds up to the final match? That could help, having to go through the round of 8/16, so the championship match doesn't end up being the best vs someone who was the best a while ago. Then it'd always be a fun match between the two top. Not to mention drawing to keep your title doesn't seem fun


No; the defending champion automatically plays in the World Chess Championship. The problem with the champion playing in the candidates matches is that the champion and the candidate will play each other before the championship title match, which kind of kills the hype.

Chess is more about the games than the outcomes. While drawing to keep your title doesn't seem fun from a statistical standpoint, the draws, in this case, are often hard-won.

Even more interesting is that one of the reasons that Carlsen has progressed so amazingly is that he has been known to play on in positions where most grandmasters would agree to a draw.


Yeah I started making a chrome app for my own use and it's starting to get to a point where if I don't work on it for a while, I spend a bit too much time making sure I'm not creating bugs interacting with old code

Also, Chrome apps seem to be a great use for this even if no other browsers embed a dart VM (if it gets to that). I'm just not seeing why this is so bad


It's 2 weeks from a year, hasn't that been about the same as the release cycle for most flagship smartphones?

Also, site's down I think, but apparently there's a new camera, haven't heard of much else


1080p screen vs 720p, faster processor, wireless charging, opengl es 3.0 support.


Nice, wish I hadn't gotten my s4 now...


Note that the Nexus 4 has both OpenGL ES 3.0 and wireless charging. Still ordered a Nexus 5, but just wanted to note that.


I've been interested in how it works since I first saw it! Can't wait for the documentation. Though I think I'm going to learn scala just to read through this. Thanks for putting it up!


Is this a well known text summarization tool? I hadn't heard of it before this post.



Yep, pretty well known!

Anyway, thanks for open sourcing - really cool.


Yeah it makes more sense when you think of it in the context of making a living. Though it comes off as doing anything in any context is a waste of time if you're not making money, until he mentions startups


I like the left one, but the right side is just giant empty whitespace on a large monitor


oy. Okay, I'll see what I can do. Thanks.


I think by math he means the actual lessons, not the cost. Calculus is the same everywhere, but you meet different people.


Calling it calculus is disingenuous. This is a computer science master, offered by one of the premier institutions on the subject.

Not all CS masters are equal. Not all CS instruction is equal.

Depending on these outcomes, the cheap masters in CS could be superior to a local, more expensive, in-person community college masters.

Sure, the faculty at an Ivy League can make all the difference. So can the faculty at a top-tier school like GT.

But will the faculty at Ye Old Community College make all the difference and warrant the 2-4X higher cost?


Take the best course - package it for online distribution - feed the world high quality education for very low cost.


Then the politicians say "look, we're educating the whole world with free high quality online courses", they dismantle the universities, people never leave their parents' house, and everybody in the world learns exactly the same thing.


Nevermind, I see now that high quality online education is a bad idea.


I'm glad we cleared that up.


yeah, of course, sorry I just said calculus because it was the first math class that came to mind. You're right, the classes are better, saying they are the same was wrong, but the point me and the parent comment were making is just that the main benefit of paying is the environment more so than the course curriculum


This looks great! I'm really trying to use it more, though last time it did feel heavier than sublime. I'm glad that was addressed. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial/example regarding clojure and clojurescript projects in lighttable for windows and mac?


I think it's just alphabetical, so no particular path through the languages that he saw as easier/harder


I think the code has a generator framework, so the fact that they are alphabetical may just be convenient/arbitrary; the code could be generated to run in any order (I think).
