I find it way easier to install less with node & npm, than it is to setup ruby & sass. If I'm developing with a "mean" stack, its kind of a nuisance to have to set up ruby instead of just using something node based.

None of the bootstrap stuff works with Angular out of the box anyways, and I always thought it was very verbose. Honestly all I like was the grid system anyways, so I don't see much need to upgrade.
> * I wish there were a way to fund online education through philanthropy/donations. Coursera being for-profit leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth. At a practical level, it complicates what images I can use in my lectures and qualify as fair use.

There are ways to do this. The problem is that they don't readily scale. Self-funding systems scale much better than systems that require ever-increasing amounts of external funding.
I've used Blaze for machine learning applications, where I've relied on the performance of elementwise operations and dense matrix multiplication on a single machine (the results advertised in the benchmark). Eigen has more functionality, but in my experience is not always optimized as well as Blaze. Neither has support for distributed computing, but I believe this is a problem that HPX is trying to address: https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx
It's awesome to see Hurd continuing to progress. It doesn't matter that "Hurd isn't ready for mainstream use" or any of that stuff. Even if it never becomes "ready for mainstream use" it's valuable to have people experimenting and researching alternative approaches. This and Plan9 both still play important roles, and I expect that, at a minimum, developments coming out of one or both projects will continue to influence Linux and other "mainstream" OS's.

Besides, it's just plain fun to play around with operating systems. I think I have an extra box laying around here idle that would be a good place to experiment with Hurd a bit.

Less was CSS compatible before Sass was, that's why I started using it. I really haven't ever had the need for loops. Less is also widely supported by all kinds of build tools, editors, IDE plugins etc. There's no searching for the wrong kind of Less as there would be for Sass since from what I understand there are two different types of Sass (Sass and SCSS).

Two things that irked me:
- child accounts need to have an e-mail address to be manageable under Familiy Safety (which in turn requires you to go to a web site instead of setting time limits locally)
- to complain about a mis-feature (like the above) you are directed to use the Windows Feedback app, which in turn will only work if you set diagnostics to on.
There are a lot of assumptions you are making.

My significant other and I are a lot alike. We've happily accepted what it takes to live with another person, as two people who were used to doing stuff on their own and living alone. She doesn't speak English well, and learning her language has been fascinating!

Thankfully, we are the happiest we've ever been. I think knowing someone who is from a totally different culture from you puts things in perspective and the dynamic is totally different from being with someone from your own culture.

We often read things in Western publications, and laugh and say, "Wow, this is so American/Canadian/Western". It's funny how everything we read in English totally never even considers that there might be another "normal". Even in scientific publications.

With regard to those standards applying to everyone, sorry, I'm not Christian and don't believe we should love everyone and give everyone our undivided attention. This, of course, is an ideological difference. My time is important. However, if I do choose to give you my undivided attention, I will listen to you very carefully.

Hope you're doing well.
I agree with Arcanus; lines of code isn't a good measurement here. It's not uncommon for high performance math and science libraries to have specialized code to handle a lot of different cases the fastest way possible, or the most accurate way possible, etc. and some libraries are even able to switch between them heuristically based on the data they're being used on.

A common example is matrix multiply. For smaller matrices it's faster to use naive O(n^3) multiply because of the large constant factor with Strassen's algorithm. At some point n^3 will dominate the constant factor, and Strassen's becomes better. To get the best performance in all cases, both algorithms need to be implemented, which increases the code size.

The requirement of writing your name on the copyright page is reasonable to prevent multiple people from claiming the same ebook, but for my use case, I would like to sell/donate the physical book (i.e. recover the physical space currently occupied by the book), and I feel awkward doing that with a book that has been inscribed to myself.

It's definitely very important to realize that Spanish-speaking countries, while nominally speaking the same language, are very different. Spain has an entire verb tense that is not in Mexican Spanish. And unconfirmed example I have heard is pico de gallo. In Mexican Spanish it means something that's not too dissimilar from salsa, yet in some parts of South America, pico means penis. I heard there was an issue with a Nintendo DS game for children that revolved around cooking that assumed they were all the same and had a recipe for pico de gallo!

Science is hard, making these drugs is hard. It's after years and years, decades even, of research that we determine what might work as a drug... whether it is safe or not, double-checking, triple-checking its efficacy after it has been made, etc. etc.

To do this it costs lab space, it costs machines that easily go in the millions, it costs sweat and tears of scientists, it takes the lives of many generations of scientists sometimes. The stakes are already high for those who take on these projects. Already, we have a problem with PhDs in the health sciences field making shit money. You want to further discourage them into going in this field by denying them what little they get now? So that they rather make easy money serving you ads based on the information they've gotten from observing your habits?

The preliminary rump kernel support that arrived just a bit more than a week ago is quite promising, if still quite rudimentary. That said, a patched MPlayer linking to rump libraries has been able to play OGG files on a Hurd system: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2015-08/msg00027...

Though obviously in the very initial stages, the implications of this development taken to its end could be enormous. Have the GNU Hurd implement translator or server interfaces to the rump drivers, plug it on top of an immutable package and configuration management suite like Guix (actually already being done), and for the first time in history you have a complete, general-purpose microkernel-based Unix-compatible (but beyond plain Unix) system that could rival the likes of GNU/Linux. The great thing about it is that the Hurd isn't afraid to break POSIX semantics where beneficial. This makes it have, among other things, processes running under multiple uids, true Plan 9-style namespacing, unprivileged mounts, token-based authentication, and so forth.

I've been playing with it on-and-off (including cross-toolchains) and been pondering about Mach kernel emulation on Linux. A pure userland server would be most desirable, but faces real changes with modeling port rights as file descriptors sent over ancillary data, how to reliably handle user-level page fault handling on a per-application basis, mapping VM regions across address space boundaries and properly emulating RPC. Kip Macy did successful work on a port of OSF Mach from the MkLinux sources as a FreeBSD kernel module for use with launchd, XPC and other OS X modules, so I think that might end up being a concession I'll look into taking one day. I'm occupied with other projects in the meantime.

It'd be also funny to have Linux "eat" itself in such a manner by becoming a host for the Hurd. Poetic justice, I suppose. But I'll wait to see if the rump kernel stuff pans out first.

(MINIX 3 is great too, much better microkernel, but it's more meant for reliability rather than exposing end-user flexibility like Hurd does with translators. It also doesn't come close to the ~81% of Debian building as is with Hurd, and the MINIX devs themselves are positioning it as an embedded platform rather than general-purpose.)
That's a bit hand-wavy. Can you elaborate why you claim this?
> If not, then we're really not talking about some studiously neutral principle,

No one has suggested that either the CEO or the Verge is acting out of studious neutrality.

Some people have suggested a neutral principal within which the CEO's action is within the range of acceptable actions given the event it responds to, but nothing in your hypothetical -- whether or not one assumes (its not really a thought experiment, its just a projection of one's biases) that the action would have been similar or different -- addresses that.

If, instead of asking if the individual actors behaviors would have been the same, one were to ask would the actions have been justified if they were the same, we would at least be discussing the only neutral principle that has been proposed -- but even then, there is room to debate whether or not there are meaningful differences.

But nice and elaborate strawman that you've set up there.

I use the Jobs-to-be-Done framework and its interviewing techniques. You can see more here:

https://medium.com/the-job-to-be-done/a-script-to-kickstart-...

Essentially

1. You want to interview people who have consumed the product (not just bought, but use)

2. You want to try to reconstruct the product hiring timeline

3. You are looking for hiring criteria which could be functional, emotional, or social.

There's a lot more to it, and lots of stuff out there about it. Look for writings by Bob Moesta, Chris Spiek and Alan Klement -- 37Signals (basecamp), Meetup, and Intercom have been known to use the technique (and have written about it on their blogs)

Great read and sums up a lot of my experiences.
As a product manager who launched a niche consumer hardware product recently, I came up with the same analysis. Plus, manufacturing state-side (boston) had its own perks (quality control) and cons (labor cost and freight from china for components).
Even after you factor in all the costs, there is cost of acquire customers which can be quite a lot for a product that is new in its category, where a lot of startups aspire to be.
What is tricky is seeding customers, organic growth through hackathons, co-marketing, and customer stories.

Thanks for the post.

Fringe elements, you say? Such as... the young community organizer Barack Obama when he was running for senator as a nobody? If you recall, he was actually spied on by the NSA then, and likely before that as well. This is a problem, and the majority of people should understand that an attack on a fringe can effect them. Someone could blackmailed the president, or acted as a filter by allowing him to pass with certain conditions. Sounds like that is something to be rationally concerned about.

The NSA programs chill speech of the majority, anyway. You always hear people faux-fretting about "being on a list" for what they say. It's a joke when they say it, but it's not a joke in reality. People are reacting to being constantly surveilled, and it's putting a cramp on a lot of discussions.
