Even some of the greatest minds just lose "it", whatever "it" is that they had. First off, he absolutely deserves some credit just for having the tough conversations that have taken far too long to enter the mainstream. It's just a question of how long he gets to ride his own coattails if he hasn't maintained the same level of thoroughness and execution (like the poster above you mentioned).
For an excellent description of another instance of this sort of issue, see [1] about Canonical and Mir.

Github seems to have things pretty figured out: they have a closed core that they control, with a veneer of hackability, and a lot of hype. You then get people to work for you for free by having them create plugins that, while open source, are effectively controlled by Github, Inc.

The key thing is to make people feel that they're contributing to a community, even though that community doesn't really have ownership of the work. By the time the tension between the community's needs and Github's needs comes out, you've already locked everyone into your ecosystem.

Other notable instances of this phenomenon include the MAGMA computer algebra system, and the creation of SAGE (see [2]).

Like others said, there wasn't anything new covered here. It was just a nice, brief, and on topic blog article on an aspect of product development.

There are many strategies to develop a product, but I liked his analysis, the videos, and the overall format.

Fyi, the Brackets file IO layer is indeed drop-in replaceable: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/File-System-Implement.... The core team only maintains the standard desktop file IO backend, but others can be swapped in.

That's only one piece of making an editor run in-browser and cross-browser of course, but it's an important piece.

Also -- there are actually a couple ChromeOS ports of Brackets out there already (such as Tailor - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tailor/mfakmoghean...), but I'm nto sure if any of them are being actively maintained.
Looking at your chart, rb808's claim is correct even as of the latest numbers. UK at $39720 and Japan at $38428 is "virtually identical".
Edit your sshd config and add useDNS: no to it, don't forget to restart the deamon.

Either way, I get your point, I remember programming in Delphi, compiling, chatting on IRC and browsing the net with a 56K Winmodem (all the modulation was software driven) with a Pentium 2 all at the same time, and now I can't even have and IDE and slack open at the same time.
Elisp is the inverse of what I am talking about... it is a special purpose language to take advantage of a specific editor. I am talking about a well defined generic interface that allows for all editors to tie nicely with code-tools.

That was a good article. I just installed both Disconnect and Facebook Disconnect on Chrome, which I mostly use. I enabled Google text adds but blocked everything else.

I would like the Internet to evolve as both a free source of information and also as a platform for great commercial products like Netflix streaming movies, Hulu Plus, etc.

For information blocking to not affect the web experience, enough people need to be willing to donate money if they choose to do so. For example, Salon.com runs interesting articles and I have made small donations over the years (and one earlier today).
We clearly can't rely on them for 'hotly contested speech' right now. At this moment this is more of a speech tax, as the speech has not yet been contained or suppressed. So you can still host speech you want free on S3 and EC2 as long as you have a plan B if some powerful speech eating weasel comes after you. This matters quite a bit in a practical sense because your pre-crisis approaches can leverage Amazon's low capital startup and recurring costs. Great so long as you don't wed yourself to approaches that only work there.

Of course, if we do all rely on it, it would become an even more obvious point of control and further suppress diversity in hosting as it is already doing in a major way. Diversity of hosts across jurisdictions, with diverse upstream providers is likely to provide surety that free speech will have hosts - but that suffers if we give all the unchallenged biz to Amazon.

I use heroku on EC2 and S3 quite a bit, and advised others to do so until this month. I was curious what they would say about process if someone tried to muscle me out; supposing Lieberman or Biden accept some MPAA inspired line of reasoning on copyright and seek to squash me or my clients to make some lobbyists happy, so I asked them:

Accounts I've read indicate that Manning was in fact gay and that DADT was part of his motive. I do not know if it's true or not, though, as I have no way of corroborating that information.
This was nice to read. I am teaching myself to program at the moment, just so I can build MVPs of some of the ideas I have.

I doubt I'll ever be a great programmer, but that's not really my goal anyway. I only hope to build something that needs to be rebuilt due to scaling problems. :)

I always hear this, but what does "simple" mean? Do you recommend a professional if you have rental income? Stuent loan interest? Stock sales? Stock options? Convert a 401(k) to an IRA? Inherit money? Own a small business?

I've done all these things painlessly with regular tax software. I've also tried a professional CPA once, and he was useless. Just sat there asking me every question that the software normally would, and then typing my answers into his software. Nice guy, but not worth $400 compared to $50 software.
Bingo. I was being politically correct but actually agree wholeheartedly. Didn't want to get too conspiratorial on this forum.
I’d love to see the government created tax filing website, that would be similar to TurboTax, crash when say, 25 people logged into it.
Having used Credit Karma in the past, you should know that it can be...dangerously confusing...for anything other than the happy path.

Things like backdoor Roth contributions (which aren't that exotic, tbh) were very confusing in credit karma, to the point where I actually did my taxes with another service just to verify that the calculations were correct, then submitted with CK. I found several mistakes in the CK results that were due to bad/confusing UI.

You likely won't hit this problem if you're just doing a 1040EZ or 1040 with standard deduction, no stock sales, etc. But if you have any complications...sometimes there's a reason to pay for software.
This is problematic for layer 1 settlement for sure. But there are layer 2 solutions that can help with the slippage issue (lightning network being the most prevalent). With a sufficient density of multisig wallet availability, as a proxy for liquidity, transactions are near-instant.

That said, there are differences in settlement guarantees at layer 2 that might make certain use cases less optimal.
It's not a necessity if you have the window open to move around the air, but that's typically not as much of an option in the winter. You'd be surprised how much dust and particles a purifier picks up.

If you take a look at the photos for the Blue Air 211 on Amazon, you can see how much it picks up. Mine was exactly like the photos. The pre-filter was completely covered in dust, and the inner filter was completely dark after 6 months of use.
Are there other services that allow for such easy import of other account data? I have a handful of investment accounts scattered like Wealthfront and Robinhood and the one-click imports from each service feel really seamless.

I don't like coughing up the few hundred dollars every year but I'm also lucky enough to not have to think about it much other than on whatever weekend afternoon I choose to slog through the endless prompts.
First started programming on PETs in 2nd grade. Finally got my own Apple //c in 4th grade. Worked through the AppleSoft BASIC tutorial, then kind of hit a lull until I started BBSing in 10th grade - then did a lot of ACOS/MACOS code, dabbled with (6502) assembler. Then it was off to get a CS degree...

Sorry you didn't like it.

You would do well to think again.
When I saw that the top comment is a list of language features which are mostly extremely old, I thought that was interesting, so I pointed out how old those features are. And got hammered for it in spite of the fact that it's true.

Obviously, it doesn't matter whether those features are old or new. What matters is whether the language executes them in a compelling way. But almost every single one of those features has been a core aspect of programming languages which have been around since before most of us were born.

Also, the mods have strongly urged me to write shorter comments, and to write comments less frequently. And they've suggested that more than once. I try to oblige, and this is the result. So technically I can't flesh out my comments without going against their advice.

Of that list of nine features, I'm certain six are extremely old:

* Run regular code at compile time
* Extend the language (AST templates and macros);
this can be used to add a form of list comprehensions to the language!
* Add your own optimizations to the compiler!
* Bind (easily) to your favorite C functions and libraries
* Unified Call Syntax, so mystr.len() is equivalent to len(mystr)
* Good performance -- not placing too much emphasis on this,
but it's faster than C++ in his benchmark

I wouldn't be surprised if GC control and typesafe enums are also extremely old, bringing that up to "8 out of 9 features are old." But it's at least 6 out of 9.

My bike was stolen in London in 2009, the day before I went on holiday.

I found it on Gumtree (like Craigslist) the next day. I stuck the phone number in Google, and a load of other Gumtree adverts popped up -- "Call Dave" "Call Pete" "Call Andy". I sent this to the police. An officer phoned a few days later, and was really pleased and surprised at what I'd been able to do. She said she'd pass it on to the "intelligence team".

Nothing seems to have changed since then: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=07796163182 (I picked one advert at random.)
Lawyers... the photographed piece of paper mentions, that the following URLs ought to be blocked, then lists URLs specifying a particular protocol and listing only the empty/top-level resource e.g. https://www.example.com/

Why do these people try to sound "technically competent" using the Term URL when then they specify something so obviously not what they intended? (and I'm sure one could be fined for still making spdy://example.com/index.html available...)
Jean Michel Jarre
Judging language is tough, especially for English, which has no governing body. It's reasonably to allow "they" as a gender-neutral third person pronoun, both because of its ubiquity and because there is no better way to express that idea.

The problem then is figuring out which mistakes have been used frequently enough for long enough to be "acceptable." If the President of the U.S.A., while addressing the nation, used "ain't" or a non-literal double negative ("I don't see no problem with the economy"), can we say for sure he made a grammatical error?

The example in the first paragraph seems to hint that we can't ever really call something a grammatical error since there's no formal grammar for the language in question. However, the example in the second paragraph most certainly screams "GRAMMAR ERROR!" How do we rectify these two notions?
Sorry, I play to win.
I agree that lack of physical activity is another likely factor for changing hormone levels and their secondary effects.

However, I know of no reason to think that these changes are heritable, or that naturally low T is actually a reproductive advantage in our society. (Indeed, given that we have inverted the more typical historical trend of the wealthy out-reproducing the less wealthy, and the selection of low-T for wealth here asserted, one might expect that this society actually reflects reproductive pressure against low-T, rather than in favor of it.)
Uh, ugly people don't go to college?
2) Poor groups can't raise their own children and there should be intervention.

I think you may be misunderstanding part of the discussion. Saying that the poor cannot provide certain advantages to their children that better off parents can provide is not saying that the poor cannot raise their own children.

I think it is obvious that more well off people can provide advantages. The better off can afford extracurricular activities for their children, an abbundance of books, healthier food. At the truly high end of the economic spectrum you see private schools, private tutors, trips to other countries. And that is before you mention that generally the better off are better educated so they provide more cultured, articulate role models for their kids. Etc.

This is not saying that the poor cannot raise highly moral, hard working, children that become excellent people. But it is saying that when it comes to raising children that are educated, literate, and articulate the poor tend to be at a disadvantage.

And saying that the children from the poor could benefit from some appropriate assistance is not offensive, it is a simple fact. In fact, some programs for that very purpose already exist like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_Start_Program and I have not yet heard it called offensive.

Sounds a lot like the native american forced assimilation attempts to me.

Well, one obvious difference is the word "forced", another was that was trying to deliberately destroy the Native American's culture rather than providing education for people who (generally) want education. The forced assimilation programs were a national tragedy. Attempting to level the playing field in youth so that the children of the poor have a realistic chance of competing with the children of the better off in the job market is generally a good thing for the nation, as long as the programs involved are both effective and voluntary.

(edit: spelling)
I usually find that one can rephrase one's sentences using "one" in order to avoid committing oneself to the gender of one's hypothetical individual.

It can be awkward in many circumstances; eg turning "The President can choose his own staff" --> "If one is the president then one may choose one's own staff".

Of course "The President may choose their own staff" sounds awkward as well. "His own staff" would have been standard English at just about any time in the last N centuries.
If there were a readability+ which accumulated micropayments for participating sites you used it on, so that a site on which you liked the content, but not the view, could be compensated (perhaps exactly equal to the ad-money you were "depriving" them of (assuming that is true)), would you use it? Would enough people use it to make it worthwhile for sites to participate?
I just wish it had the option to find all available flights under a certain price. I'm a college student and wouldn't mind just randomly going to a random local for a little while if it was cheap enough.
I'm not sure the perceived "improvements" (especially regarding to the speed) is due to hardware or software upgrades, as NS is still the only official 2.3 game in town.

Hardware wise, Nexus S doesn't have a spec that can totally blow you away. But when N1 came, it was clear that N1 was the king, and it was so for quite a while.
Thanks, I was just thinking about this exact problem and wondering if localStorage would be a good way to handle it. It looks dead simple from your code - just set an attribute with the JSON request as the value, and try to send it later. Lots of little other things to work out like tommi mentioned, but nice simple examples are really helpful.
I agree with #6. Also I was so used with having the Cmd+J keyboard shortcut for "Edit with ..".
I worked this way since I was 15 years old, and The first time I worked for a design firm was at 18.

I truly believe there is no need to work for a design firm before starting on your own. There is no good reason for that. I made more money when I worked by myself than working for a "sexy design firm".
This is, frankly, irresponsible. The events of today were precipitated by hatred, propaganda, a rejection of personal responsibility, and an embracing of hypocrisy, committed mostly by Trump's supporters over a long time. It's the expected behavior of the minority of people with the least intelligence and integrity when tribalism escalates.

And yet still, even if none of that were the case, it's deeply immoral to paint violence as a somehow justifiable reaction to being shouted off Twitter for being a "racial realist", and other hills Trump supporters insist on dying on.
> All that aside, my rough estimate is that 90% of the Continental US interest in PR statehood is motivated by political calculus in the Senate and Electoral College. If PR was a red state instead of solid blue, I'd sincerely doubt you'd see statehood regularly discussed at the top of /r/politics.

Probably, but that's also been the case for basically every state ever admitted to the union. Remember when the US used to consider whether a state was slave for free before admission?

Even the statehood of Hawaii was politically charged. People genuinely feared the kind of people Hawaiian would send as representatives. Including, but not limited to Communists and anti-segregationists.

Alaska was opposed on the grounds that it would be a welfare state and that it would add a bunch of democrats to Congress.
I wonder how “publishers” feel about that. I would feel rather angry if Medium dictated that people couldn’t access my blog posts.
Method A is also known as "Widlarizing" or the "Widlar" method. "How do you Widlarize something? You take it over to the anvil part of the vice and you beat on it with a hammer, until it is all crunched down into tiny little pieces, so small that you don't even have to sweep it off the floor. It sure makes you feel better. And you know that component will never vex you again." Bob Pease, describing Bob Widlar's method for dealing with broken electronic components.
I feel you; very much the same situation for me, and I can pinpoint it to exactly when my dad started listening to Rush Limbaugh as he drove around in the course of his work. This would have been when he was about the age I am now, so it doesn’t seem right to me that it was his age. He was curious, smart, kind, and optimistic, then came Rush Limbaugh. After that, he had no interest in anything other than talking about how big government was ruining his life and the world.

My theory is pretty simple: anger (and especially anger with an object of blame) is like a drug, and he got addicted. I think it’s as simple as that.
I spent a lot of time testing Signal and it’s come a long way.

One great advantage over WhatsApp is emoji reactions on messages like Slack does to avoid the dreaded “haha” taking up threads.

Signal seems to support all media I threw at it, and has an awesome MacOS desktop client.

Downsides were no web search for group icons (a great feature of WhatsApp) and live location sharing.

Overall I am happy to have nearly all of my conversations migrated to Signal over the preview few weeks.
There isn't anything directly similar for Python, but eventually, Hackety will be language-agnostic. This is probably a loooong time off, though. And by probably, I mean "is."

I would not want to make a trip to the dump in a Panda; for that I would want a trailer.

Front-wheel driver cars in the United States are generally not rated for towing, and can void your warranty. (It's silly, because as I understand it, the exact same car in Europe usually is rated for towing).

Minivans are the exception; they are rated for towing more than some compact pickups. Unfortunately, seat design means that many minivans no longer meet one of the original design criteria of the first minivan: the ability to carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood.
I didn't even know the ESP32 had these security capabilities, but I guess I've not been missing out ;)
What are the arguments against FP for IO? In my opinion when working with IO in Haskell the explicit tagging and quarantining of IO is super valuable. There is a clear, compiler enforced demarcation so you know when to be careful not to launch those missiles.
What "other" things? Carpal syndrome is an official illness with clearly defined causes - squeezing and damaging nerves and arteries in the wrist, in the thinnest moving point of a hand. There are no "other" things (in the scope of this post, about keyboards) and yes, it is a fact.
As far as I know, at these trailor weights you have to seperatly brake the trailer itself, which you use compressed air connected to the trailer at the moment. I would guess unless you can brake the trailer electrically as well you would still need it. not sure how many traileros with electric brakes there are.

If you are a drug dealer it is an occasion to hide your supply extra hard. And use a second car/taxi for your drug dealing while using the compromised car for perfectly legal things like an upstanding citizen.
