True REST shouldn't require a WSDL-like interface. The semantics of the graph it describes should be enough. This model, however, has yet to be fully realised; largely because of the large upfront cost in R&D. At my work, we are trying to develop in this area, but it's slow going.
Everything is running just fine in this thread, I don't see the tone you're expressing. There's always some level of interest to someone - sharing is caring.
Interesting, I didn't realize they claimed XML was an SGML subset. I thought you couldn't express XML empty tags in an SGML DTD.
Haha, looks like some people had some fun with this. 10/10. That's what I get for being lazy I guess (I'll add a captcha to the post form today and delete the current spam.)

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Seems this idea has some potential but needs a lot of improvement first.
The big take away for me was the idea of blobs and trees as Hickeyian values and commits as Von Neumann places. [1] If there is one weakness is the article it is ending with stash, which to me seems to be a bit of a feature in search of a workflow more than something that enhances distribution and sharing among a team in so far as the class of problem it addresses seems to result from larger issues of team structure and workflow [if it's worth saving then the whole team should know about it and have access].

It's useful to know about, but placing it at the end makes it seem like a high order bit rather than something for a corner case.

This is amazing software and I'm glad something like this is open source. Accessibility hardware often costs a fortune (for understandable reasons) and software isn't typically cheap either. This seems to be very high quality and it has the potential to really improve people's lives. I'm glad things like this exist.
It ensures constant time because the operation takes a constant amount of time to execute exp and ln. Think about the naive implementation in the general case:

x^6 = x * x * x * x * x // linear in n

Here's a slightly (probably slightly wrong) optimized version of that which is O(log(n)):

fn pow(x, n):
if n == 0: 1
elif n == 1: x
elif n is even:
return pow(x * x, n/2)
elif n is odd:
return x * pow(x * x, (n-1)/2)

The nice thing is about the constant time is that it's relatively speedy (< 1ms) and is guaranteed to handle even large inputs gracefully[1]. Some implementations might add an additional optimization like if n == 2: x * x or n == 3: x * x * x since those are super common, but if you're really crunched, you've added if statements or function calls when you could have just inlined it.

[1] Though you'll start running into quantization error at some point from ln.
The good parts of WSDL, I presume? ;-) I spent way too long staring at raw WSDL, I almost think certain profiles are actually OK. But SOAP on the whole is a world of pain.

Mmmm... that was a great deal slower than me using the latest Android swiping support, even counting errors. Can't speak to the other mobile tech stacks, but if you're typing on a phone is slower than that you might want to poke around, you may be missing a technology already installed on it.

(Not a criticism of the excellent work here. It's a fundamental bandwidth problem.)

Concretely: In the time the demo took to write "Meet OptiKey. Full computer control and speech using only your eyes.", I wrote in an Android text area: "I am just typing words as quickly as I can in the android interface. I'm even having to think a bit about it more that I've written so much. uh, hello world? and other stuff. I'm still going and going and going." Including the missing "now" between "more" and "that", and you can't see it but I had to correct 3 words, too. That's about three times faster on the phone I have in my pocket. And let me just say... that is impressive performance for a free eye tracking suite, in my opinion, to still be that fast with just eyes.
>> Even in the US most vehicles larger than a minivan are manual transmission.

> I beg to differ, the best selling automobile is an F-150.

That doesn't really differ from what I said. There are much bigger things on US roads than the F-150, and most of them are manual. I'm talking big rigs, delivery vans, buses/coaches, etc.

The F-150 started out as a small commercial vehicle aimed at contractors, builders, and other similar jobs. It has since morphed into a consumer truck that starts at only $26K. As you say it is one of the best selling vehicles in the US, and it only reached that milestone by being a consumer vehicle.

All reminding us that the F-150 is automatic and takes regular unleaded (as opposed to diesel like most commercial and or bigger vehicles) does is remind us of how consumer-focused it is, rather than disproving that most commercial vehicles are manual in the US.

and therefore [runners] have less obvious metrics for advancement.

I'm afraid I don't share your perspective, runners can easily get performance feedback without going overboard with fancy and shiny gadgets.

I'm a regular runner and I live in a coastal city and I frequently take my runs by the seaside. I start at a fixed point and set my finish point within the confines of a certain district/neighborhood and when I can complete the race as I had predicted, I consider this to be success and progress. Sometimes, I set instead a time limit to cover a certain distance and see if I could make it within that limit.

So, no runners can certainly measure their progress and performance improvements/shortcomings in very simple metrics if they so desire.

PierOne is a Docker registry in Clojure with S3 backend and OAuth support. I wrote swagger1st[0] which is used there. Swagger supports authorization definitions via scopes. Besides that, you can only define required basic auth or API key usage for authentication but not for authorisation.

Swagger defines various places, where you can add own x-* attributes to fill in your own logic if swagger is not expressive enough.

Ditto, used RAML on a previous project and everyone involved really enjoyed it. It manages to capture just enough about how thinks work without getting overbearing. I particularly like the fact that it allows for examples to be specified.

I haven't built anything with Swagger but I never clicked with it the way I instantly did with RAML. It's a pity - there seems to be a lot more industry and open source support behind Swagger than there is for RAML which is mostly backed by MuleSoft.
> "Their" instead of "His" is a horrible fix, and causes me discomfort as a speaker of the English language.

Some people dislike the singular they, yes. This is strange, because it's a feature any English speaker will intuitively understand (it's been in English for centuries). I assume this is due to people being told it's not proper in school, or something.

> More seriously, statements like those should be massaged into the passive tense as to avoid pronouns

That's sometimes an alternative, yes.

> It warns about stuff like "cattlemen" in lieu of "cattle rancher", some really preposterous stuff.

Why is it preposterous? Not all ranchers are male.

> Also, as a native Polak, I had no idea the word "polack" was offensive. In Polish, it is the most used way to refer to yourself as a Polish person. I am so confused right now.

Words sometimes have different connotations in different languages, and it might depend on who's using it. A Polish person in the US might mind 'polack' less from a Pole than from someone else, perhaps?

Ask HN: How much do devs slack off?
How much of your 9-5 day as a software engineer do you slack off? I have days where I do not do anything job-related for half a day or so. Is this normal?
Wow man - amazing story.

I am a single dude with no family of my own, but I will say a few things:

A) When you are looking for a job - make friends with headhunters. Do everything you can to get unsolicited phone calls/emails from them as much as you can. Post your resume on Monster and make a really good/clean profile. I also recommend doing this on StackOverflow and Indeed as well.

The whole point is to get these headhunters to work for you. Yeah you will eventually start getting 20-30 emails a day from them and the same number of phone calls. A lot will be for jobs in completely random cities. Filter them out, anything that looks pretty good - follow up on it. (For the love of god, use a burner number, you will regret it later if you don't)

B) Use LinkedIn and Indeed to your advantage. With Indeed for instance, you can setup a profile as a company and search key terms in specific geo areas looking for talent. As someone looking for a job - you can do the same thing. Make your employee profile, then make a profile for "your" company and see where you stand in the listings.

On LinkedIn, I highly recommend upgrading to a Job Seeker paid plan (if you can do it - they sometimes have a free trial too). That will give you access to see who has viewed your profile (for longer periods of time), where you stack up against other candidates for LinkedIn job posts, plus you get a few InMail credits to use.. USE them! Find companies in your area - from startups to big corporations and just start connecting with anyone you can. When you get to a Director of IT, or VP of Engineering, start asking about potential opportunities within the company. Develop a connection with them and the folks in HR (actual internal recruiters). Polish your resume, your CV and LinkedIn profile. Don't be afraid to send messages (shit have a form message ready to go if you need to).

Lastly, don't ever give up. As other posters have said - you can get a job, if you make it your fulltime job. A big part of finding a job is hustling.

If you have less than 2 years of dev experience, I highly recommend brushing up your GitHub account, maybe working on a small coding project to showcase your skills.

I don't know where you live, so it is not fair to comment on salary - as that is super variable according to where you live.
Most RFID systems are similarly vulnerable. All HID iClass systems (supposedly smart-card based) use the same cryptographic key, which you can dump out of the memory of any reader if you are so inclined. The ID numbers of badges are printed on them, and this is usually enough to program a new badge as a clone or do some SDR trickery to imitate it.

But let's not forget that tailgating will get you past pretty much anything that isn't a turnstile. Turnstiles are really only in elevator lobbies, so if you can find a legitimate reason to be in some other part of the building you can just follow a legitimate user through any door, no matter how secure its locking mechanism. And failing that, almost no one properly authenticates cleaning staff or contractors.

I'm a huge fan of adrenaline too but as I get older self preservation has become a more prominent concern. There have been too many moments in my life that were too close to call and a few where the payoff didn't happen. After those failed gambles I had to spend the next years trying to regain my mobility and get back in shape again. Though only anecdotal runners/lifters high is a much more sustainable lifestyle choice.

There are always going to be similar ideas across different languages, frameworks, and platforms. Your comment implies... some sort of equivalence between React's announcement and Reagent? I'm not sure. Maybe you're saying "this has already been done before." If that was indeed your point, it would be more constructive to point out that here is an existing library with similar ideas that might prove useful to React developers.

> My main concern with the word policing is for people who have been using a common term while it was not offensive, later being deemed as insensitive for having used the term.

This might happen occasionally with words that become offensive, but I'd argue a lot of such words that "were not offensive" actually were, it's just the author was oblivious. In such cases, you'd hopefully be able to argue that the author was unaware.

Although some people might feign ignorance as an excuse when they very definitely knew what they were saying.

> For example if using "slave/master" terminology becomes widely accepted as insensitive [...]

> [...] even though at the time of writing no one had considered that term insensitive.

Well, it always has been insensitive, but the vast bulk of the tech industry has been people who've not experienced slavery (or didn't consider the implications for those who have), so they were oblivious.

> in the future someone may look through my twitter history or something and find that I had used that term

Well, you might not have realised. Someone might call you a monster, but I think people would be somewhat forgiving if you hadn't yet been warned.

(This does depend on severity, though. With some words, obviously it's impossible to argue you couldn't have known.)

That's interesting to me. What does the iPad Pro give you for music production that a Mac with Logic (or your DAW of choice, whichever) doesn't do better? Even if you want touch controls, I've found a regular iPad to be plenty big enough for Logic Remote/TouchOSC/Lemur, and it talks to a much smarter, much more featureful system.

Schools have and spend money, in the US several thousand dollars per pupil per year. It's the way they have and spend is just not in the way that people and small businesses do. Their money comes out of budgets allocations and their spending via procurement processes.

This means that schools tend to live "paycheck to paycheck" and thus their culture is of necessity based on trying to get stuff for free when their aren't bespoke funds. And the people giving the money, be it the Central District Office or the PTA will tend to earmark funds for what they [the school board or PTA] have been sold over what the teachers and principals have been sold.

That said, if costs are minimal then showing growth and high levels of engagement will count for something with investors...and limit or eliminate the need for investors substantially [keeping in mind that investors are a means to an end, not a goal in and of itself].

Good luck.
New York metro is very dense and all the commuter rail systems are pretty bad, or worse.

At this point in development, it would manifest by adding the attribute

xmlns="http://apple.com/TVML/1.0"

(or similar) to the top-level tag.

And absolutely nothing else has to change.

For that matter, even ignoring the issues of being able to embed foreign content later, just sheer versioning is a good enough reason to add that. And once you agree versioning is a good idea, why not do it via namespace? It's not like

version="1.0"

is materially different or shorter.

If you're expressing a certain crabbiness about this being in XML in the first place, you'd have to take that up with Apple. But once you're using XML, you ought to take advantage of what comes with it.
A $125 billion market for big data solutions is NOT a sign that data is a liability. What is the value of that data?

While I agree with most of what you say, and it captures important aspects of reality, I think it's still a dramatic oversimplification of reality, to the point of naïveté, in two ways that are in some sense contradictory opposites.

First, it treats people as individuals unaffected by social forces, whose power is treated as unrelated to how they choose to use it. In reality, the dynamics of power in a social organization is an arbitrarily complicated topic, and deeply constrains how people who have power can use it; and people's opinions mostly arise from the conventional wisdom of their social groups, which is subject not only to the limits of bounded rationality, but also to memetic selection pressure.

Second, the legislative and regulatory process is far from the disinterested consideration of the common good you ascribe to it; it's a conflict-filled social process involving constant negotiation among regulators, legislators, and their constituents. It is a mistake to try to understand it as if it were a sentient entity attempting to achieve certain goals by choosing means that its beliefs predict will promote those goals. To a significant extent, the individual people acting inside of it are such entities; but their goals and beliefs are at odds with one another, and as a result, the overall system does not behave in such a fashion. Sometimes it may happen to do so, which is often because the relevant part of the system is dominated by one or another powerful elite that is sufficiently unified to behave that way — although often the interests it promotes are not the common good, but a narrower set of interests. More often, due to collective action problems, it thrashes around in ways that appear irrational and random if you attempt to understand them using the metaphor of a sentient entity.

Your puzzlement about how we could have ended up with such perverse regulations as those that gave rise to low-flow toilets is a good example, but in fact public choice theory abounds with examples.

I say these are contradictory opposites because the first amounts to treating human beings as isolated contemplators, sort of floating in a void, while the second amounts to treating them as mere cells in a superorganism, devoid of individual beliefs or interests, their individuality entirely subjugated to the goals of the collective — a sort of Hegelian apotheosis through what seems to me to be the ultimate degradation. (Perhaps with the occasional exception of that guy.)

I think that with a somewhat more nuanced theory of human collective action, we can understand what does and doesn't work about existing forms of social organization, and then collaborate to improve them, providing us with alternatives that allow everyone to flourish in ways out of the reach of hunter-gatherers building seismically-unsafe huts, out of reach of proletarians toiling in misery in Foxconn factories, and even out of the reach of Captains of Industry hoping fondly to turn our nation into a new Somalia or Honduras.
