To be fair, quarterly and annual release cycles were common when software was a physical product. Games had to sell retail, and enterprise software still needed to deliver disks. Until the early 2000s there was no point in continuous integration because your release process still had to be waterfall - you were gated by extremely slow physical processes like retail outlet logistics.

Once continuous deployment to the end user was possible (via the internet), the industry started following suit. And nowadays there is still something similar for iPhone developers - you're gated by the Apple app store, which doesn't have to be slow, but somehow still is. (This has important implications like having to backload a huge amount of testing before app submission because you can't be certain of how quickly you'll be able to release a frontend patch).

Its not exactly a new thing. The 2nd and 6th US Presidents were a father-son combo. The 23rd President was the grandson of the 9th. Multiple Presidents were cousins of other Presidents. But for assassination, a tragic accident, and the moral judgement of a hyena[1], there might have been three President Kennedy brothers and one son.

1) leaving a girl to suffocate in a car underwater didn't end his political career but probably cost him the Presidency - that is what's sad in American politics

Building with Conviction
This is a well-expressed defense of declarative concepts but the title itself highlights the Achille's heel of these ideas: how, after all, do you simply make the computer do something, like print "Hello, World" at a particular place and time? Declarative techniques are great for the things that they're great for, but programmers who hate side effects have the problem that every program that does anything observable does it through side effects. So I continue to sit on the declarative fence.
That's the most common objection, and it's the one that makes the least sense. If we were to count the number of parenthesis + square brackets + curly braces, we would fine that there is not more symbols in a LISP, just that they are arranged differently.
Should Your Specification Language Be Typed? (1999) [pdf]
Whoever trusts Cisco at this point are living in la-la land where they refuse to acknowledge the reality that Cisco has been helping governments build surveillance capabilities into its routers to spy on its customers.

Whatever negative impact this has on their own business is fully deserved at this point.

I'm sorry, but I'm still trying to understand what the author is trying to say. It seems like he had a bad experience with Angular and he's taking it out on hash routing and client side rendering (so basically, SPAs?). Beyond that, I'm not really sure.

250mm quads fly 3-7mins and going straight up is not hovering, it takes a lot of power.
I fear you dont know what you're talking about.

Basically you can go 3k up then stay a minute and free fall down.

Bigger quads can fly longer - albeit going up always takes most energy and many big quads also need energy to go down / can't free fall without crash
Considering that the average page size (first load) is getting bigger and bigger there is certainly some truth to it. Pages are getting slower and more complex and I see more and more browser tabs take 80mb+ for (seemingly) simple sites.

I also agree that web site/web app is slightly different, but: there are blogs and sites that load, show a blank page, then fade in some animation/spinner while loading fonts, styles and more scripts and then slowly fade in the content. However, if something goes wrong (font doesn't load, JS blocked, etc) you see a blank page with a spinner forever.
HOW is that progress? That's just awful.

I recently decided to start a little blog[1] using the static site generator hugo[2] and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

For me, whole Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics looks like huge scam. Mathematics is Turing-complete, so proper formula with right magic constants can separate dogs from cats (see neural networks for example: they are pure mathematics). However, I had belief in Theory of Relativity for my whole life until I saw three effects: double slit experiment at macro level [0], magnetic foam at the edge of Solar system [1], and Sagnak in _linear_ motion [2]. Sorry, but I lost my belief and I want explanation, not a magic formula.

That's a strange criticism of futures to make, because the great strength of them is that you should be able to think about them sequentially, and then as long as they do not have conflicting side effects that model will hold to a concurrent implementation.

Well, if I'm in a position to re-write the language, then how I think they should do it matters. If I'm in a position to select which language gets used on a project, then which language does it the way I prefer matters.

But if I'm in the middle of a project in language X, trying to do Y, then "shut up and do it the way we do Y in X" really might be the correct answer. Work with the tool, not against it...
This story should have gotten more exposure. I guess no one wants to read about failed unicorns.
As Jobu points out from Wikipedia: he second proliferation resistant feature comes from the fact that LFTRs produce very little plutonium, around 15 kg per gigawatt-year of electricity ... This plutonium is also mostly Pu-238. According the article this seems like quite a bit more than is currently being produced, is it not viable for use in RTGs for some reason? Or is the cost of a LFTR over the course of a year less cost effective than the current method of Np to Pu?

I have very little knowledge of the science here, I'm just not sure what all I'm missing.
The question is whether the "Ridiculously Resilliant Ridge" -- the name for the blob of warm water sitting in the pacific -- will continue to prevent the moisture from reaching the costal states, as it has been doing for some time now.

I think us programmers have a tendency to see things as all or nothing, even while we work daily with a number of technologies and languages that do things differently. There is no reason that everything has to be declarative while benefiting from the advantages of declarative/functional languages.

Most programmers use SQL on a daily basis and we don't hear arguments that it should be procedural to be inline with our other languages.
Yeah, these rants never account for the fact there there are a number of different types of websites, and tools for each. Don't use Angular or React for a blog for the same reason you shouldn't use Jekyll or whatever for an application. Different tools for different tasks.

Great response and thanks for your time and input. You're not stepping on my toes noting a dislike of the iLok - it actually finished off my interest in ProTools and sent me deep into Ableton Live years ago. I think you definitely grasp what I'm going for in concept, and parlayed that into useful guidance.

As you mentioned about Bloomberg, it's the data that's primarily of value, and from what I've experienced, the communications platform limited access via other terminals are two driving factors for why they're used.

Your point about value to the customer is good for me to keep in mind. The whole idea I have is an intersection of publicly available financial information, marketing, government business, and with a scope of service that would span over several months to possibly more than a year. It could be enhanced by arragements for data sharing with certain established industry players (ex: Thomson Reuters). I'm reluctant to call it an SaaS platform, but maybe I should just frame it as such for practical reasons.

On a different note, how interested would you be in a concept for a recreational personal flight device?

It's what I'm going to submit for the Intel Curie contest, but that's like a TV show thing and could go sideways on me. I'm pretty proud of my R&D thus far on the concept and would probably like the challenge of putting together a pitch for it (that I could also use in my contest entry). Just curious!
Indeed the model I used was simplistic.

I doubt Ocean area would change much with sea level rise on a percentage basis.

A more realistic model would have to try to make a better guess at the amount of permanent ice. The South Polar ice cap isn't going away completely because (1) with a six-month darkness, it will remain cold enough to hold ice (2) enormous storms in the Southern Ocean will generate plenty of precipitation over the pole.
Why do you consider that a key data structure? (It may be key for your application, but should it really be key for the language as a whole?)
This is pretty well done. I've always been a bit lost on the differences between imperative and declarative programming. Each time I've asked, I've gotten incredulous "You mean you don't KNOW?" And then they start off with technobabble buzzwords that are meaningless to me.

I appreciate this post, because it works from first principles (close enough) and moves toward more abstract concepts. Good storytelling guide here.
I'm not saying natural things are bad, I'm saying 'natural' (and, by extension, 'organic') means nothing about if the product is safe, tasty, ecologically friendly, effective, local, etc... (all the things people traditionally tout organic food as) It's a nonsense bit of advertising, and anyone using it to imply their products are good either believes that or is trying to trick me - either way, I don't want to buy/be involved with that thing.

GraphViz can output directed graphs in a variety of formats:
http://www.graphviz.org/

I recently worked on a project where we started off looking to use something similar to what op posted. Despite being a very old library, nothing really provided the level of stability and options that Graphviz had. If you can get past the somewhat odd syntax, I would highly recommend it for complicated directed graph output.
Yeah, it's a pickle. Raphael supports limited subset of SVG with VML failover compatibility, but export is limited because you have to support two technologies.

Then it gets weirder because RaphaelJS isn't exactly responsive-ready. Takes some work to make graphics just resizable (you can scale with the viewbox, but that's about it.) Recently, I switched to pure SVG (even when programmatically generated) because nested SVG elements provide basically a mechanism for relative/responsive scaling, positioning and such.

The guy who came up with RaphaelJS was ahead of his time, and I believe he got hired by Adobe in part thanks to the project's exposure. The development stopped awhile back, and it shows, which is really sad because I liked how the programming style for Raphael is done.

I think there may be a misunderstanding here - mal is not the language you make the lisp (or any other language) in, it is the language you are implementing. Indeed, there is an implementation in Racket, and even in mal itself.

The point of mal is to guide an implementer through the steps necessary for making an interpreter using a language they are comfortable in. It gives some insight into how various constructs are implemented, such as closures and tail call optimization. The purpose is not so much to make a lisp-like language (although that is the outcome), but to learn what goes into making an interpreter for one - especially when you can't lean on the constructs that already exist in the host language.
This works fine for read only (I.E. query interface), but what about for non-idempotent endpoints? It seems like you'd need to provide BOTH a REST API and a GraphQL API, GraphQL for doing queries, and REST for everything else. Admittedly the query endpoints tend to be the ugliest ones in a REST API, but I'm not sure that ugliness justifies the extra complexity and overhead adopting something like GraphQL would entail (not to mention potential performance and DoS issues others have brought up).
The problem is, how do you know who you can trust? I mean, really, you can't, as long as network devices are closed source, proprietary black boxes. Right now I have no particular reason to think Juniper or anybody else ship routers that are less likely to be exploited or back-doored, relative to Cisco.

Yet one more reason to say that rms right was right all along.
> It's almost the opposite of bait and switch.

Yes, you are completely right, and I was wrong.
How so?

What you're saying amounts to basically an instruction not a relation or declaration in the programming sense of the word.

Human space flight also has a social engineering aspect to it, where it likely gets better returns in inspiring the next generation to be interested in science.
I am not saying there is no need for more complex web sites. Personally I just think it is sad that in 2015 there are lots of sites that won't load anything at all if you disable JS or have a bad connection.

"the heat that accumulated at Mach 8 was up to 30% less than at Mach 5."

while the original paper says

"Actually the thermal flux during Mach 8 flight is shown to be only 25 to 35% higher than at Mach 5. On top of this, the
reduced flight times at Mach 8 yields a 20 to 25%
reduction of the overall integrated heat load to the
fuselage with respect to the Mach 5 cruise."

The combined effect seems to be that the shorter the flight (& faster), the lower the impact of the heating for people inside.
Why do you think the pigs want to be 'left alone'?

Why would a pig not enjoy a game just because it's not 'natural surroundings'? If it's enough to entertain a person, why would a pig not be entertained?

I'm not saying that pig and human ideas of enjoyment match up, but if they are not being punished for not doing it, I don't really see why it'd be harmful to them. If anything, it's stimulus and entertainment they'd otherwise not have - isn't that a good thing?

Problem. In their paper 'On The Security of Password Manager Database Formats', P. Gasti and K. B. Rasmussen have presented attacks on the KDB and KDBX file formats based on unauthenticated header data. For KDB, this issue has allowed silent data removal attacks. For KDBX, the issue has allowed silent data corruption attacks. Both were minor security issues (confidentiality was not compromised).

Status. Header data authentication has been introduced for both KDB and KDBX in KeePass 1.24 and 2.20, in order to prevent the attacks. Also see the release notes KeePass 1.24 and 2.20 Header Authentication. P. Gasti and K. B. Rasmussen published their paper in a responsible disclosure process, and the defenses in KeePass have been implemented before the issues were presented to the public.
