This really bothers me. Any ideas to cure this issue with local/government support. I would like to explore more about current solutions in terms of what worked and what not worked so far (with numbers, of course).

Thinking of starting some kind of kickstarter campaign to solve this in few villages and let the community/government to replicate this model to everywhere in India.
It works fine because node take care of compiling it and lot of packages in npm need it so you are practically forced to install a C / C++ compiler, but java here is almost alone, so the requirement is more painfull.

Awesome write-up. Should probably be required reading for anyone planning a HW based Kickstarter.

It wasn't until I got to do a startup where I participated in the entire process of concept to production for a reasonably complex hardware system (an internet appliance) that I really appreciated just how many moving parts there are in building something and how many ways that process burns money. One of the most painful things was allowing our UL Lab certification burn up a perfectly good unit on purpose. I really wanted them to use a test board inside that we already knew was dead (and it had rework on it besides) but they were adamant, the 'as shipped' configuration had to be burned to a crisp. Ouch.

6 Easy Ways to Speed Up Express
Or you could have a consistent repeatable way of doing it across multiple apps and operating systems. I am not averse to your argument that doing it at the app level has benefits, but being able to do it at the VM level in a consistent way is going to be simpler when you expand beyond a handful of applications.
Two huge things I think they're all missing:

1. Some sort of backend DB integration. It's very hard to figure out how people are interacting with NodeJS databases other than MongoDB these days, frontend alone isn't the issue. Sequelize + postgres for example would be great to get an app up and running I expect, including things like connection pooling. (Bookshelf seems okay too, but I don't like it purely because it seems to automatically infer attributes from the database, which makes coding harder as you'll need to hit the REPL or schema to know what's coming out). In addition, webpack is easy to get running. Making it sane from a module size perspective (dead code elimination...etc) is harder.

2. Test coverage. Unit + integration. There's a million test runners, mock frameworks, etc etc out there. It's not trivial to get something you know is sane working (more so from integration side). Not to mention new-style imports entirely break most frameworks like rewire in my experience, so I wouldn't encourage their usage.

And, well, for me I KNOW those answers for python (I haven't done that much nodejs backend work since ~2013. I've used the node ecosystem exclusively for frontend since, a lot), so it's a lot more simple for me to get started.
Dream on.
I have been happily using the Sandstorm closed alpha since it was available to Kickstarter users and I have been very happy with the progress. There are still places where the grain paradigm needs to be fleshed out a bit, like I had to explain to my old boss that in Sandstorm Gitlab there is no user, there are only allowed and deleted web keys...

When I explained that we might use this for a project or two, if it turned out to be too much trouble to put our GitLab instance with all its private repos on the public internet, he understood right away.

Up until that point he basically knew what Sandstorm was all about and he was saying "I don't think Sandstorm is for us." I'm still not sure he sees, but the free open beta and the app store will probably work to help convert him. He loves app stores.

I'm no lawyer, but from my semi educated reading, that tells me Google reserves the right (which to me means they absolutely will) to collect your network traffic and actual data, send it to the Google databases and use it for whatever purpose they so choose. Does anyone read it in any way more legally limiting than that?
Another oft looked over featuer of the markets is price discovery. By compressing when all the participants participate, it allows all the buyers and sellers to come to an agreement on price with the most information participating. At least that's the theory. When looking at off-hours trading data, differences in opinion cause wild swings that then normalize during the 9:30-4 window.

Technically, there's no reason that the markets can't participate 24/7, but the Nasdaq operates from 4a to 8p, and the crash that occurs at 9:30 still occurred despite markets being available for participation between 4a to 9:30a.

Minification - combination of bandwidth savings and smaller code

Remember that Javascript on the client must run once per page load / per script inclusion. The larger the code, the more that must be parsed and executed.

Minification probably had more of an impact before Chrome+V8 when JavaScript engines competed to become extremely optimized. I suppose now most vendors have some sort of in-memory cache for recent scripts feature which would vastly reduce the average script execution due to the need to parse less frequently.
By default, neither operating system is running any publicly accessible services. By that metric, they're equally "secure" by virtue of not having anything an attacker could attack on first startup.

After that, you could look at browser exploits as the most common attack vector. They tend to go back and forth, but all of them get pretty quickly rooted in competitions like Pwn2Own.

>It'd be interesting to see Guix expressions that actually mix other scheme libraries or concepts, rather than just taking Nix expressions and removing the syntax.

We already do this. Our build scripts are written in Guile, not Bash like in Nix, and they take advantage of Guile's standard library which has things like a pattern matcher, an HTTP client and server, a POSIX interface, a foreign-function interface, an XML parser, etc. We use third-party libraries such as guile-json and guile-charting in some of our tools, as well.

One thing I love about the product management role is that it exposes you to a much broader range of skills to learn (beyond product features and people management), including design, user behavior, as well as business aspects including go to market, sales strategy, pricing, etc. Just like a developer lead becomes the de-facto CTO for a product/start-up/business unit, the product manager becomes the de-facto CEO for the same.

I work in a games studio in the engine team that integrates new versions of our engines and SDKs for PS4/X1 for our projects - basically when an update comes out you look at the section that's relevant to you and see how it integrates with your flow. So graphics programmers are interested how the GPU pipeline is changing, gameplay programmers are interested what are some new improvements in scripting, console programmers want to know if there is anything new we now have to use to remain compliant with Sony/MS requirements....really, very rarely people read the whole thing fully. You read what you need and then try to work from there. Usually a small team integrates a new version of the engine into the project and if there are any problems then relevant people try to help - and if it's deemed stable it's merged into the main branch.
Great article. I wonder why the full database hasn't been released? Will be a whole additional scandal if full message logs are released in a future dump.
"Impeding system and network management" is potentially a real argument (though one most OS X users, whose machines are not rightfully overseen by any network manager, might dismiss).

But the appeal to IETF standards that brackets that argument, with it's "period, no exceptions" language, is a bit galling. Who cares? The IETF has made all manner of silly rules in its history. Why isn't this simply one of them?
Here's another example:

There's oragenics, which developed a vaccine against dental carries - a disease that affects 5 billion people. Something that i'm sure everybody would really like to have.

And this is why we don't have it ? In their own words:

"
Regulatory Status:

We initiated our first Phase 1 clinical trial in April 2005, but we found it difficult to find subjects who fit the trial’s highly cautious inclusion and exclusion criteria, particularly with respect to the subjects’ lack of dentition. We concluded this trial early after enrolling only two of the 15 planned subjects. The FDA then recommended that we revise the protocol for the evaluation of ten healthy male subjects, ranging from 18 to 30 years old and with normal dentition, in an institutionalized setting. After we submitted additional information, the FDA issued a clinical hold letter in June 2007 for the proposed trial with the attenuated strain, citing the need for a plan with respect to serious adverse effects; a plan for the eradication of the attenuated strain in trial subjects’ offspring; and a required pregnancy test for female partners of subjects. We submitted additional protocols in response to the FDA’s concerns. In August 2007, the FDA issued a clinical hold letter with required revisions to the protocol for offspring of subjects. We submitted a response to the clinical hold letter in September 2007, and the FDA removed the clinical hold for our Phase 1 trial in the attenuated strain in October 2007.

While we commenced a Phase 1b clinical trial for SMaRT Replacement Therapy during the first quarter of 2011, the very restrictive study enrollment criteria required by the FDA made the enrollment of candidates meeting the restrictive criteria difficult. Due to the enrollment difficulty we encountered with our initial our Phase 1a clinical trial and now with our phase 1b clinical trial, we determined to discontinue pursuit of our Phase 1b clinical trial."

Such a shame.

17 Surprising Facts About Your Body's Bacteria
It is one of my favorite posts of Theo's but it is a bit dated. Still what is advocated is not really practical (building a secure computer system (ISA, System Architecture, OS)). Something security folks have wanted to do for years and years, I even got to bid on one for some Maryland agency when I was at Sun.

That said, you could do a lot worse than just running OpenBSD out of the box on your servers connected to the Internet security wise, and be hard pressed to do better without a lot of training.
"What I have learned from examining the site’s the source code is that Ashley Madison’s army of fembots appears to have been a sophisticated, deliberate, and lucrative fraud. The code tells the story of a company trying to weave the illusion that women on the site were plentiful and eager. Whatever the total number of real, active female Ashley Madison users is, the company was clearly on a desperate quest to design legions of fake women to interact with the men on the site."

No matter how much they shore up the site, even if they manage to get people believing their anonymity is safe again, they'll never recover from the far more damaging fraud allegations. Actually, something like this might even enable going after the CEO personally, if the trove proves he was actively directing the fraud.

UglifyJS also rewrites property names if you tell it to. It's conservative so it only replaces the names you explicitly tell it to rename. Recently it gained the ability to let you give a regex, so if you have a convention of always prefixing private rename-safe properties with an underscore, you can now have those renamed.

The body will burn it's stored fat to make up the energy deficit. The reason it stored fat in the first place is so that it will have energy to function when food supplies are not good.

Where exactly the body chooses to take fat from first, I don't know or care. Like digging a hole, it doesn't matter where exactly you take dirt from.

When there is no (or very little) stored fat, the body will start eating up it's own muscles to survive, but that's bad.
Its interesting seeing the gulf between the philosophers and the computer scientists. I think your average philosopher would enjoy a trip down the rabbit hole of automata theory and the hierarchy of things that can emulate lower levels things vs things that look different but are at the same computational level.

What would Marx say about the assumptions of a DPDA wrt the labor theory of value (or anything else interesting?)
'Absorption' is a detail you don't need to know when it comes to losing weight. All you need to know is you put x calories in your system and you maintained weight, therefore x - y will produce a net loss of weight.

Homelessness: A Crisis Beyond Crisis

I think Apple had to decide between making the Apple Watch an open-ish platform; allowing watch companies to make "shells" around it with their own style or just allow Android watches to connect so that people can get their styles from the various Android OEMs. They chose the latter, probably because they want full control over the Apple Watch from soup to nuts.

I'm sure AndroidWear will not be allowed the same tight integration the Apple Watch has, the same way many Google services and apps on iOS are hobbled. There's an element of, "Oh they want crap? Then give them crap," here.

Its also depressing that the narrative here is, "OMG They're letting us use some peripherals of our choice with our phones? How generous!" Its sad how far we've fallen from actually being able to use the things we buy.

When I took a Human Resources course, there were 3 theories:

Theory X (The oldest): People won't work unless you force them to, and without constant supervision, they'll slack off.

Theory Y: People are looking for self-actualization, and you need to find what gets them excited, get them to do that, and get out of their way.

Theory Z (currently the most popular): Both Theory X and Theory Y apply.
