I honestly think you're absolutely right. Some people have pushed through our "unreleased" status and have learned quite a bit anyway. The guy who wrote these tutorials is not one of urbit's primary devs, but he still managed to get a pretty decent grasp on the system, and he even wrote some great doc.

We're generally quite responsive on the urbit-dev mailing list, and we're making a concerted effort to be more helpful everywhere. Urbit is one of those projects that can't succeed without a community. The pace of github pull requests from outside contributors is increasing, and more and more docs are coming out, both from the core dev team and outside contributors.
Microkernels are now competing with hypervisors, for the honor of providing added security and robustness boundaries to hedge against large attack surfaces in monolithic kernels. Hypervisors enable
incremental change in this direction. Historically this has usually been a big competitive advantage.

Qubes OS is the hypervisor department's version of the
"compartmentalize OS for security" idea. The microkernel
dept should come with their own credible version if they want to win.
Hey nikhildaga thanks! I just signed up! I'll tell you that you're right, I maybe just need a little push or someone who trusts, and I think I can build it with a little bit of knowledge. Your words were really helpful actually :)
Autonomous cars probably will not reduce traffic. If anything they might increase it. For instance they will allow any number of current non-drivers to take to the road. The very old/blind or anyone else physically unable to operate a car need no longer rely on public transit, not to mention countless children.

Even without adding new drivers, there is the horrific probability that autodrive cars could be used to avoid parking fees. Why pay for parking when the car can circle the mall for a few hours on its own?

The reduced cost of operation may also result in more vehicles. (I disagree, but most here assume will be cheaper than a standard car+driver.) If vehicles suddenly become far cheaper to operate, any number of businesses may send out autodrives where today doing so would be cost-prohibitive. The private security industry surely has ideas for autodrive cars to replace on-foot security patrols. And, as with uber, the addition of transport options priced somewhere between taxis and public transit surely will draw customers from the later.

In this contrived example, the deletedDate alone is enough to create the required states (Deleted being when there is a deletedDate) without creating any invalid date (Deleted without deleted date or vice versa).

In general though, if there were 3 states (active, suspended, deleted) where some states required more data than others, I'd probably make a struct+enum to create the equivalent of the F# type. The user can expose the state while hiding the fact that it has a more complex internal field.
I'd argue that the fingerprint sensor has no effect on your second scenario, as manufacturers could make a backdoor to send the government your normal password too. The fingerprint sensor doesn't make that bit any easier.

Time Management Made Easy for Project Managers
I fully agree, but as a vendor that only implements bring-your-own-storage, I can tell you it's not much fun from the supplier standpoint. Our no 1 support request is something along the lines of:

"I've deleted my diagram, can you restore it for me?"

"No. We don't store your data, we never even see it"

"What a useless service, just get my data back or I want to speak to random escalation person"

99% of users don't care about privacy, architecture, etc. They want it to just work (TM). They want us to be able to undo their deletion, find their data when they forget where they moved it.

So it's users pressuring suppliers in the wrong direction, it's not all one way traffic.
Rollbar (rollbar.com) dedupes error occurrences. It automatically integrates with JIRA and github but you could probably tap into their API to integrate if with unfuddle.

Note the weakness of the Java solution. Since its interfaces offer no support for virtual contructors (hence the design pattern), you have to instanciate a factory before you can get an empty value.
Honestly, I'd be scared off by a line like that. That tells me the employer wants to play games with you in an attempt to minimize your compensation.

Good companies and good recruiters aren't trying to minimize you per se. They want to hire the best people, and they know that the best people have a decent sense for market rates and aren't going to settle for that sort of line.

Try to do your research on comps and industry standards beforehand, so that least you're reducing some information asymmetry going into the process with the recruiter.

In my experience, you'll actually gain respect for asking about their ranges. It shows you have experience and know your worth. It also establishes you as someone who's been around the block and is no stranger to job offers and the way they really work. This is what separates the entry-level candidate from the managerial-potential candidate.
I just watched this but I was hoping that there was a feature to automatically back up the cap 10' or something so everyone could get in.
Look this is a pet project, we're experimenting with different things, I happen to like it the way it is. Last time we were on the top of HN earlier this month our font was too light; I liked it as is, but I was wrong. It changed. If we're wrong on this, it'll change too.
I think the key point here (which the author kind of dances around) is that walking puts you in a different kind of mental mode. He writes, "walking makes me smarter".

This jibes with my experiences when I started walking 5+ miles a day (that was before I had young kids that absorbed every minute of free time). I felt like it did make me smarter. Or at least, better at programming and writing.

I now commute by bicycle, and I think that is somewhere on the spectrum between driving and walking. But even on a bicycle, you have to be in "collision avoidance mode" pretty much continuously. Your mind still wanders -- but with a lot more interruptions and alerts.

I think there is something "magic" about walking -- by which I mean something great, but something that we may not be able to scientifically understand in my lifetime. We know we evolved to walk upright, and we can measure a lot of the physical health benefits it confers, but we still don't know enough about the brain to prove that it benefits cognition, happiness, satisfaction, etc.

I strongly suspect that it does, though.

Didn't think it was rude at all. For what it's worth I enjoy Steve's talks more than Elon's, I think it's fair to say he's the smartest VC out there. Incredible breadth of intellect, and from what it seems, a really cool guy.
Those price points are for the launch era P90D special editions, which are presumably aimed at the X5M and Cayenne Turbo customer. I imagine the prices on the base 90D and 70D will be closer to X5/Q7/Cayenne after Federal/State tax incentives, though probably still a bit higher.
I think it's about $600 more a year than my Mini's insurance. It happened Friday, so I don't know how much it's going to cost to repair it, or if they're going to total it. The insurance guy sent it to "the only place around here that does Teslas", which happened to be the place Tesla recommended.

Your "I-can't-work-with-this-unsized-list-because-I-need-to-pass-it-to-something-that-takes-a-sized-list" problem seems like something that one might _think_ would be a problem if one understood advanced types on a conceptual or theoretical level but not how to use them in real-world code. It's actually pretty easy to deal with cases like this... At the end of the day, you just end up having to code for both the case where the list matches the size requirements of the code you want to call and the case where it doesn't. For example, you could pass the unsized list to a function which performs validation of its actual runtime size, returning, e.g., an `Option[List[Int] @@ MinSize[_5]]` (if I may use Scala-speak). You'd then have to handle both the case where the `Option` is a `Some` and the case where it's a `None`. Ultimately, it ends up being extremely similar to checked exceptions: you are simply forced to write code to handle all cases, rather than writing code that allows some of them to blow up at runtime (while telling yourself "that case could never happen in the real world" or "that's an edge case, we'll just ignore it").

Genuine as compared to other CEOs talking about their products. See: recent talk by Blackbery CEO.
Hmm, you did 45 minutes in the pool, so the physical benefits of walking probably would be less in your case.

I have visited the Tesla store on Santana Row couple of months ago. Told the guy that mine is totally geeky/touristic interest, I wasn't living in US, there's no way I can afford it to import, no way to charge it here etc. but the guy genuinely answered my every question and spend some 15-20 minutes with me.

John de Goes mentions at the start of his article how Scala implements type classes without an extra language construct. But he doesn't show what his example would look like in Scala. So I wrote that out for my own amusement.

What's the best way to make sure that your system isn't part of this?
No, there's very limited network configuration available and it's hardcoded to Google's DNS. You'll need to use a static route on your router to redirect that to a different DNS server.
There are lots of charging stations, tesla, and otherwise now, and after 200 miles is a great time to grab lunch.
Doh! Yeah, another thing Urbit is ok at is generating HTML. If you were designing a language, especially a language that's basically in some sense a Lisp, in 2015, you'd probably want custom syntax for XML-shaped data, to avoid having to use a separate template syntax...
Amazon SES New Feature: Receive and Process Incoming Email with Amazon SES
great article! ;)
Would not having cars in the small centre actually clear up smog in a couple of hours? I would suspect that changes in weather (wind/rain) would have a far greater impact on air pollution. Along with the notes of happy people, I'd imagine this is more a psychological effect. Cities do seem pretty neat without cars (judging from when I've been out during crises and there's been no other traffic).

Also: "emboldened to cycle in from the eastern edge of the city without a helmet" - I'm not sure, but are cars a massively dominating factor in bicycle safety? I'd imagine there's still risks, like hitting someone, or a curb, where a helmet might come in life-saving.
This same thing just happened to me too. I'm repeating instead of just up voting to emphasize how frustrated I am.

We have a "log cop" responsible for looking at the errors in the logs and being the human conduit to filing a ticket for a bug as needed. We've got it down pretty well now where we have trained folks on it and rotate the responsibility each sprint and doesn't take more than a hour or so a week of the designated person's time. Part of making it doable though was getting rid of a lot of the superfluous logging we were doing.

Well older flash media likely use larger components on the dies. And larger components means less leakage, iirc.

That said, i wonder how much the quality drop of various media can be traced to outsorcing fever. Meaning that just about every brand just a sticker on the same product made in some Asian sweat shop factory.

Yes, air pollution from ICE cars (petrol and diesel) and all other sources of pollution.

I think they are touting this with an eye to the China market, where many people have air filtration systems within their homes and apartments. This means that they will be able to have good quality air when they are in their cars too.

> a 1kg 10cm^3 cube that cost a dollar to make and held 1000kWh of energy

1MWh is 3600000000 or 3.6GJ. 3.6GJ/L is twice the energy density of Uranium, and 3.6GJ/kg is 40 times the specific energy (energy/mass). We wouldn't need a power grid anymore because we could just charge batteries on the moon and lob them to earth.

If we're in dreamland, we can just think about what'd happen with instantaneous subspace energy transmission. We could get rid of batteries and electrical grids altogether and we'd just turn the moon, mars and mercury into giant solar arrays. I'd wager that's more likely to happen than a 1L/1kg 3.6GJ battery too.
I'm not normally a huge fan of gender-neutral pronouns, but you have heard of pseudonymity?

~hidduc-posmeg is an HN user with a very definite gender, but doxing is bad karma and avoiding pronouns is cumbersome. So, why not?

In a system where you choose your own handle, you tend to gender it. But when your "name" is just a number in a phonetic base, it seems like a pity to sacrifice any of its delicious opacity. This obviously shouldn't be read as some sort of taking sides in some culture war or other...
Google Cloud Shell
Although we also have an Apple TV, XBox One, and a cable set top box, we use the Chromecast 95% of the time. There are apps for Dutch news (NOS) and public broadcasts (NPO). And if there is no app, we just use tab casting on a laptop.

The XBox One is primarily useful for Blu-Rays, but is pretty annoying otherwise (long startup time, regular updates that take a long time, no casting except for an experimental Miracast app, not energy efficient).

Since both my wife and I switched from iPhone to Android devices, the Apple TV became pretty useless, since it is firmly locked in Apple's ecosystem. Sometimes, we use it with an US account to purchase TV shows that are not available here yet.

Also, since we have a Chromecast, I have come to dislike the typical 'mediacenter with apps' interface of the XBox and Apple TV. A phone is far more convenient app-wise with touch, so the idea to have a dumb dongle was great.

The proof that Linus was wrong is that besides the majority of UNIX clones, all modern OS are micro-kernels (L4, high integrity rtos, Symbian, minix), hypervisor based (e.g. mainframes, unikernels). hybrid (Mac OS X, iOS , Windows).

Linux success is related to the ease people could copy stuff from commercial UNIXes into GNU/Linux, not the kernel architecture.
> At the end of the day, you just end up having to code for both the case where the list matches the size requirements of the code you want to call and the case where it doesn't.

I don't follow. If your list is not the right size, your program doesn't compile, period.

If it does, you're not using a dependently typed language.

Am I missing something?

I've switched to longer passwords but all lower-case - mainly to ease the pain of entering them on a phone.

On a proper keyboard it takes the same amount of time to type, it's easier on my brain and you can achieve the same entropy with just a few more characters.

(And then some f%£$ing website will tell me my 16 character password is insecure because it's all lower case.)

I think the ideal strategy in gerrymandering is not immediately obvious (although it may technically be a tautology, it is not obviously tautological). If you asked people which of the two following strategies is ideal, many would give the wrong answer:

1. Begin by drawing the districts such that your opponents win almost 100% of the votes in as many districts as possible.

2. Begin by drawing the districts such that you win almost 100% of the votes in as many districts as possible.

Upon analysis the mathematics of the situation is obvious, but one's gut reaction may be that winning elections handily for yourself seems obviously good.
I'm pretty sure it came from branching out into workspace inventory, like monitor stands, and then jumped into business accessories, like laptop bags and (yes) socks.

The margins are already so thick that they probably only had to sell a few to break even.
Wait, you seem to equate a runtime exception as a bug, which to me are two different but related concepts.

Directly posting every single exception raised to your bug tracker is a sure fire way to flood and overwhelm you. Logging to unfuddle, to me, is the wrong way to do it.

Learn proper Ops. Learn the concepts properly: logging for application monitoring and trace debugging is one thing. Posting a confirm functional bug report is another.

Error detection/escalation is best left to proper tools such as nagios/zabbix where they have grouping of errors etc.

Application level tracing is best left to a logging tools like sentry/logstash/new relic/etc.
