One question to go, and guru badges become available: .

Hello all, I think this answer deserves more votes. It would be good for our community to be reminded about Scheme more often.

...but I don't see it on user portal.

@kirma nice news..
"New operators and compositions of operators enabled for associations functions such as Dataset and Query".
Someone know what are the new Dataset functionalities?
@LeonidShifrin do you?
 
@Murta Maybe these are "on need to know basis" functionalities. :)
If they bring new functionality, they could be specific about the content. Documentation at the web doesn't carry stuff marked with 10.0.1 yet, at least.
 
@TaliesinBeynon could help us too..
 
4:10 PM
I posted a question about it: mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/59849
 
It's here! Woop :-)
Only a few days late.
 
@LeonidShifrin I'll have to hold my nose.
 
Can someone actually see the upgrade download?
 
4:28 PM
@kirma My email from a while back - "Mathematica 10.0.1 is scheduled to release next week, and your site will be one of the first to get this update.". But I'm clearly not the first, as I can't see a download.
 
@blochwave I have to say the non-instantaneous release schedule is pretty odd. WRI could easily buy on-demand CDN capacity, if they fear a traffic spike.
And especially so if this is the case for minor maintenance releases, which shouldn't cause big cloud backend workloads.
 
@kirma Every single person with MMA 10.0.0 is sat holding their breath at the keyboard waiting to download the bug fixes all at once...
 
Or maybe just couple of them. :)

Heh. Wolfram on Edison page has been shooped to feature the released, non-SD form factor version of Edison. So I guess the project isn't entirely dead.
This has also happened during couple last days, I believe.
 
6:00 PM
@kirma The Wolfram Language will not ship standard on Intel Edison (unfortunately), but we are starting a pilot program with interested users. There will be an email about this to anyone who signed up for updates on this page: wolfram.com/intel-edison
 
@ArnoudBuzing Does "does not ship standard" means "is not supplied on standard installation images" ? If so, I understand perfectly - Edison has quite different goals than RPi.
Can you say anything about expected support of semi-standard plug-in boards getting support for data acquisition from Wolfram runtime? (Like those Sparkfun is advertising now...)
 
@kirma Correct, it is not included with the standard Intel Edison embedded linux image.
@kirma We're looking into this. At the moment we have a (nicely) working WL kernel:
root@arnoudb-edison:~# wolfram
Wolfram Language (Intel Edison Pilot Release)
Copyright 1988-2014 Wolfram Research
Information & help: wolfram.com/inteledison

In[1]:= 2^100

Out[1]= 1267650600228229401496703205376
 
Edison looks like an interesting piece of hardware, especially if Intel continues IoT push it indicated at IDF'14, and that Edison would be just the beginning of series of devices...
@ArnoudBuzing Cool!
Not that I would have a board to try that on. It's not entirely obvious which channel I should attempt to use in order to get one in Northern Europe with least hassle.
(Disclaimer on my enthusiasm: I am employed by a fully owned subsidiary of the Intel Corporation. All opinions I express on the subject are nonetheless my own, etc.)
 
@MarkMcClure In this case, I think that the message delivered in that post is valuable. Generally, I've found some value in many RJF's posts. I try to separate the parts I don't agree with, but he often has good points if we look at it from the CS viewpoint.
 
@kirma Mathematica 10.0.1 is expected to release this week (61 days after the 10.0.0 release so far). Registered users should be notified by email when this happens.

6:32 PM
@kirma Interesting. Do you work on ChromeOS?
 
@ArnoudBuzing I have nothing to do with that. Let's say that my work involves system-level software on network appliances. Intel and its subsidiaries are too large to often even know what all subjects it works on. :)
 
7:00 PM
I hope that if maintenance upgrade versions of Mma bring in new functionality, the changes are documented clearly enough. Current quick revision history page raises more questions than answers, I think...

@LeonidShifrin Of course, you're right. He just has too much history of relentless criticism, often without acknowledging strengths of his target. In this case, talking about Lisp and while I have no doubt that he's correct, it's hard to take what he says without a grain of salt.
 
9:00 PM
I wrote guru, earlier, but I meant generalist which kicks in when the top 40 tags have 200+ questions. (#40) just hit 200 questions, so when the rare badge daemon is run, there's going to be quite a few of them.

Hello, any ideas how to track Initialization step by step?

DynamicModule[{x},
Dynamic[x],
Initialization :> (
x = 1;
Pause@1;
x = 2;
Pause@1;
x = 3;
)]
