Interesting. Event though some of the repos listed didn't seem to have licensing info in any obvious place, several of the GPL* ones did.

Seem you're right. :)

Am very surprised, after reports a while back of GPL (etc) apps not being approved.

Hopefully they continue to be approved (etc). :)

I agree that HN comments were completely and totally wrong to be onboard with banning Trump AND I also do not agree with banning Sci-Hub...

but the solution isn't screaming at Twitter. The solution is using our freedom of speech and expression to start creating and supporting other services. I know that's hard, but at least in your personal life, try to use ActivityPub services and encourage everyone else to do so. Set up a Mastodon and Pleroma server and give invites to all your friends.

Now I have done this and on my personal server, like 20+ friends have created accounts and to day .. only one still uses them. It will take time, and really only you can take care of yourself.

Also, long-from blog. Follow any friends that blog with and RSS reader. Encourage everyone else to use an RSS reader. Why the hell are we using Twitter when you can follow the blogs and news sites with RSS? You can see which news sites have new articles, rather that letting Facebook and Twitter decide the order and type of information your receive.
There’s usually guidelines based on the criticality of the equipment and the required reliability.

Moocs wouldn't have the same pull if they didn't do video. There are reasons why "E-Learning" never really took off before the MOOC movement.

Some part of this is that text books tend to be written as reference material, and don't come with a "first learner's cut", a path through the material which is suited for someone just starting to learn the subject.

Videos are a medium which seems to be easier to master for university instructors than really good teaching texts. Don't ask me why...
> I don't think Go's splash was as big as node's, but it's found its way in to more organizations than not.

I'm having trouble understanding the second half of this statement. The two most clear readings are that over 50% of organizations use Go, or that over 50% of the organizations that have used Node now use Go (while still possibly also using Node). I doubt you intended either of these meanings. How am I misreading you?

EDIT: do you perhaps mean that over 50% of the organizations that use Node and have experimented with Go have decided to move forward with more Go projects?

No.

Aging is a lot of things, but it's not generalized cellular breakdown. Aging is more associated with the gradual failure of larger systems and frameworks in the body in ways that evolution has had no incentive to effect a repair strategy for.

i.e. wrinkles are associated with the loosening of the collagen support framework for the skin. This isn't cellular breakdown - it's just a system which there was never any point evolving a repair mechanism for beyond childhood.
I don't really get what hub does, it's just a wrapper around some git commands + a CLI to github right? What is this 'context.rb' doing that somehow can be sped up by moving to Go?

I have the feeling that the sort of thing Hub is what Ruby's supposed to be good at, and Go not particularly. So the move sounds a bit strange to me.

Anyway, super convenient for them that a Go port already existed, obviously the move makes sense when the source is already there and it has the features and performance characteristics they desire, not to mention dropping the dependency on Ruby.
I believe that the Banshee media player is maintained and developed largely by Gabriel Burt and Aaron Bockover, who are paid by Novell.

I'm betting that the of OSS development that is done by people who are paid for it, is seem as a marketing effort. Any large corporation have more than enough money for a few developers in their marketing budget.
There is asking for help, and still trying to learn it yourself, and then there is simply getting the answers from someone else. When it comes to "collaborative education", most kids are all too eager to accept the latter, because it finishes the assignment the quickest and allows them to return to what they'd rather be doing, playing xbox or whatever.

And then that trend continues into the workplace. It's not "cheating" if you get somebody else to do your job for you, it's "efficient delegation". Promote that guy, he's got management written all over him.

And unfortunately there are all too many suckers out there who won't stand up for themselves and say, "that's your job, not mine." Instead they do it and wonder why they don't get promoted when they're working their tail off.

It's all fear mongering, and I would not be surprised if the "enhanced" pat downs are just an intimidation tactic to get people to use the scanners without complaint. The timing of the rollout of the new pat down methodology seems like a response to the negative feelings about the scanners.

> Also, no version control.

On Mac, Apple apps and other "Mac-native" programs save revisions automatically in the background. At any point, the user can select "Show Revision History" and scroll through a timeline of changes. I'm not sure if this works with Excel, but it does with iWork/Numbers, and I use it all the time.

Now, Apple's implementation is just a simple timeline—there's no equivalent of version tagging, or git blame. But all of that could be done within a graphical environment similar to Apple's. It wouldn't be as advanced as Git, but I bet it could do what 95% of people actually use Git for.

The only times I can think of police being involved in protests are because they (at least appear) to be non-neutral.

When the police are the target of the protest, it's pretty easy for them to appear to be on one side of the issue. If the people of Ferguson think the police don't protect them it shouldn't be surprising that the protestors don't want to obey them.

The only other incident that comes to mind is the WTO protests in Seattle years ago. I remember the people felt like the police were being used to squash legitimate protests and suppress speech.

But I know other protests happen. The various fast food woke protests earlier this year would be an example. Most of the time the police are out doing stuff like stopping really rowdy people from escalating things and managing traffic. I'd imagine most of these kind of protests (large marches, etc.) are scheduled but even when they weren't the police weren't seen as intruding because they were perceived to be neutral.

That neutrality makes a big difference. With it the police are there to help/protect the protestors and keep things safe. Without it the police can start to feel like a military force putting down rebellion. And a crowd is going to react very differently to those two things.
Given that people have the right to live wherever they want, what do you suggest?
Real estate has always cost more in Boulder than neighboring towns. There's a height restriction on building, and the local government (I've forgotten if it was the county or city) bought a lot of open space from private landowners.

Supply and demand...people want to live in Boulder because it's nice because there is open space. Google builds in places where people want to live.

The solution to the problem he puts forth is actually a simple one: Go entirely to a consumption tax. Then the doctor with all the family to support gets taxed very little despite his income and the rich guy going out to buy a Yacht gets taxed a huge amount. It's as fair as fair could be.

The problem with a consumption tax is getting the Government to agree to a system that doesn't guarantee them a certain income and getting the people to accept huge price spikes (which are emotionally jarring even if your income tax has been eliminated).

The term implies no moral judgment, it simply is used to describe the technical process/effect.

The term can be used by detractors in a negative fashion, and the term can be used in a positive way by people who might be interested in doing it themselves. It's a word, it has not political opinions.

It is telling that you assume it has inherent negative connotations though.

I've experimented with literally dozens of project management tools. Probably 75% of them make the claim you did - that it is "simpler and easier than any other out there." That's a pretty bold claim and a lot to live up to.

1. Have you tried every other solution to know for a fact that it is simpler than all of them?

2. Simplicity and ease of use are very subjective. Many people might find Basecamp easier to use than your PM.

Before diving into something like this, you should make a very solid list of features you want in your PM tool, and a list of features you don't want. Then do research to compare it to others on the market.

While I think there is still market space for more project management tools since every individual and team have different workflows, most PMs I have experimented with have largely the same features. That means they have all the same pitfalls.

That being said, "cheaper than existing solutions" is also not what you should base your plans on. There are dozens of free solutions out there, many of which are very popular. It doesn't get much cheaper than free.

There is a concept of a sub-luxury brand, a product that is not exclusive to the rich, but still markets itself as a quality, high-end, status-worthy product, and that is what I think the author is getting at.

An example of this could be Lincolns and Toyota Avalons, from the car world, except Lincolns aren't designed to be simple and sexy and Toyota really didn't know what they were doing with the Avalon. Say what you will about the engineering and cost, but that is what Joe Schmoe thinks of Apple.
This is off topic, but I've read that Napoleon actually did value his stupid but energetic officers. They could be counted on to charge whenever ordered, even against impossible odds. (That particular officer would likely die, but that was acceptable part of the overall plan.) Baron Marbot was wounded a dozen or so times this way.
It doesn't really matter if people keep their vehicle for decades, because people usually sell their old vehicles for use by others when they get a new (to them) vehicle.

What you want to know is the average life of a vehicle (or average age of the fleet), not the average period of ownership.

I'm sure that varies by country; IIRC Germany has punative taxes on registering old cars, so their average age should be a lot less than in the US where registration tax usually is based on value, so goes down as the vehicle ages. I seem to recall average fleet age of about 20 years in the US.

I don't think you can argue, as the article kind of does via its sources, that these "discoveries" are of questionable profitability due to the infrastructure and security investment that will be required AND they were the lucrative reason we went to war in the first place.

After all, if the Afghan War has already cost the US $739.8 Billion dollars [1], even $1 Trillion doesn't leave much for infrastructure investment and a reasonable profit margin.

Since I'm sure people will comment without reading it ;p, here is a copy of the Caveats section:

> OS X > 10.7.2 and Windows > 8.1 disables FireWire DMA when the user has locked the OS and thus prevents inception. The tool will still work while a user is logged on. However, this is a less probable attack scenario IRL.

> In addition, OS X Mavericks > 10.8.2 on Ivy Bridge (>= 2012 Macs) have enabled VT-D, effectively blocking DMA requests and thwarting all inception modules. Look for vtd[0] fault entries in your log/console.

And was it only american politics? We outside often wonder how often tweets about our politics come from american accounts.
That's true of any medium-small language, though. I'd argue it isn't true for the smallest of languages, because there's a genre of small languages that are made largely to trap nontechnical people into bad decisions, but it's true for all of the medium-small languages.

Languages that are niche enough to require passion to find and get running average a much better quality programmer, because why wouldn't they? Tesla drivers are, on average, better drivers, because fewer teenagers drive expensive cars. Conlangs have the highest intelligence per speaker, on average, because they require intention to learn. Subscription MMORPGs have the smartest players, because a $15/mo subscription filters out most children. Nearly two decades ago, the guy who made this forum wrote a post about this exact phenomenon with Python, before Python was actually relevant in the industry or had a million resources to learn. Filters work.

You aren't saying something controversial; you're just saying a more limited version of something that everyone already knows because you have tunnel vision. Filter the worst half out, and shockingly, the average looks better. This is a novel idea and you are a genius for coming up with it.

> So, a person with a tourist visa isn't able to do any work in their own hotel room, no matter what it is or for whom?

Yep.

> Is it that they aren't supposed to do a service for anyone else (such as cook for a friend, or translate anything for a relative back home) or that they can't receive money?

You just can't get paid. If you were cooking for a "friend" but you were actually their personal chef...you would need a working visa.

For a visa waver country, you usually have the right to go to that country to attend conferences or training, but you aren't supposed to do any "work" like say...programming or writing documentation (again value creation).

> What is their company is generating passive income for them back home?

Passive and investment income don't count, only work that creates value and is paid accordingly. If you want to make investments in the country, there is a non tourist visa for that (and sometimes it is allowed on visa waver).

> How are they supposed to pay for all the touristy stuff?

Through the income you earned working hard back home.

One reason is because there is more than one of you.

By using Puppet, I never have to read my colleagues custom setup script because store it there. By checking in everything to version control, I see who has done what by reading the changelog.

If you are only managing your own servers and keep a strict discipline you will see less of the benefits.
Have you reported this to http://bugreport.apple.com/ ? I know most of my Yosemite / Mavericks bugs were tagged as duplicates, but there might be some sort of a "wow, so many duplicates, let's fix this" type of ranking re: bugs reported to the Radar.

I, for one, would wish Mr. Federighi would push out a Snow Yosemite. No new features, simply bugfixing. I have taken to simply posting screenshots on my blog about various AppleQA issues. I wish there was a way to really make a difference, god know I'm fanatical enough about wanting Apple stuff to just work.
> Yeah the web tier is rarely the bottleneck

That's not exactly true. For example, as you said, employing a cache may significantly improve performance - essentially to the point where 99% of the time is spent inside framework code (routing, params parsing, etc). In such a situation a "web tier" may become a bottleneck, and when it does it's quite deadly: you can't do anything about it, short of abandoning or changing the framework.

> that doesn't include the typical db access, caching and so on

But that is not what a web framework itself does, right? It doesn't offer ORM layer nor cache layer and it's not being compared to Django, but rather to Bottle (which performed remarkably well) and similar.

Anyway, as to the framework itself: from reading the page I got an impression that it's thread-safe, which would be more than a reason enough to use it were it true. In the past I used Erlang with Cowboy for building performant web apps - it was enjoyable and I liked it, but it also required the skill to do so, which is not that widespread unfortunately. Falcon probably is nowhere near Erlang/Cowboy performance, but it could be just about "fast enough" for most use cases.
I think you forgot a "never" in an otherwise good explanation :)
