I've had the same experience with node, but normally there aren't that many problems with V8 or the language itself. Most of the rough corners seem to be in node's core libraries.

IMO this is what we need:

* a better designed standard library. Maybe more like Dart's[1] - we already have Bluebird as the de-facto replacement for callbacks - all we need now are something like Dart's streams to fix the built in quirky streams.

* built from the ground up with optional types i.e. TypeScript or Flow (eliminates most of JS's type-related quirks while preserving most of the dynamism and duck typing and being very helpful when the time comes to refactor)

Now that typescript has support for type definitions inside node_modules[2] there are no barriers remaining to do this. node + V8 + typescript can provide a development experience that matches Dart (exceeds it in some cases, e.g. REPL) without throwing away the entire existing JS ecosystem in the process.

[2]: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/tsd/issues/208

p.s. [2] can actually detect some situations in which there would be problems when multiple library versions coexist together (e.g. when you pass instances that come from library v3 to a function of library v2, explained in detail at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8213273). However if the interfaces are structurally satisfied, the compiler will not complain. As a result I'm pretty sure that its possible to write a tool that detects semver violation based on .d.ts files (similar to what Elm does) or suggest the exact amount of version number increment by comparing the definition files
I like ambitious projects. It's incredible how many of them actually succeed.

This reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Brain_Project as there is also lot of skepticism if it's doable. But maybe we just underestimate human ingenuity.
A long press is a function of time:
"How long has the user pressed?"

3D Touch is a function of pressure:
"How hard has the user pressed?"

In practice, things that your application previously accomplished with long presses may be more suitably accomplished with 3D Touch — things like contextual menus or shortcuts come to mind. Additionally, iOS has new APIs for presenting content using 3D Touch. The article briefly references them.
the average rainfall is likely close to 0 inches in LA of which almost none is usable for landscape purposes

The average rainfall is Los Angeles is 15 inches per year. Why do you say this is "close to 0"?

I would not be surprised if this much water is needed for a 2 acre or smaller sized lawn.

1300 gallons/hour * 24 hours * 365 days/year = 35 acre feet / year.

The reason I'm excited for this product, is the possibility of using the internet to gather information about the future. InTrade tried to do this a decade ago, but its centralized structure and its market maker algorithm made it harder to use with more thinly traded ideas. The internet is full of people who express their opinions about the future, what this does is allows anyone anywhere to use the wisdom of the crowds to gain better insight about the future.
> To use your examples of Massachusetts and Ohio, why waste time on a campaign stop in Boston when you can hit Columbus? Columbus has a much larger population and one can also hit Detroit and Indianapolis in the same day to maximize their face time with the public.

As opposed to the current system, where...why waste time on a campaign stop in Boston when you can hit Columbus? Ohio is a swing state and MA has voted Democratic for decades.

The point of a democracy is to represent actual human beings, not shapes on a map.
In the article, it mentions why the UK plugs have more features, not to mention being designed 50-100 years later, and also why other plugs aren't being replaced.
I don't have any problems with American or Euro plugs, however I may have learned how to avoid them.

Still I think there is room for improvement, perhaps something like a larger lightning/usbc plug with some of those safety features.
The statute of limitations ran out on three of the four charges. That is quite different than the charges being dropped. The fourth charge is still within the statute of limitations and will be for another 10 years.
Shame that we're just nearing precompiled xprintf statements. It's so wasteful and slow to keep scanning same string for printing instructions at runtime. And very bug prone.
this is indeed probably the best low-cost wifi chip out there, most of the esp8266 modules are still acting as an add-on module for other host-cpus(e.g. arduino) though, wish it can run something like freertos or contik on its own so it can be a IoT sensor standalone(maybe it's there already, had not checked it in the last few months).

TI had similar products but it's too expensive, in that sense IoT hardware has to be 'made-in-china'
I was told the core team of esp8266 are all ex-broadcom wifi designers.
Good point bringing up over/underflow, I didn't think much about Nan or infinity, but I did consider potential over/underflows. I originally built an overflow/underflow checker(on the github project), but then re-evaluated it and figured it wasn't really necessary since the default action for number types that overflow/underflow in swift is to throw an error runtime. The person asking the question mentioned another series of operators that exist &+, &-, &*,etc that allow for overflow/underflow to occur on number types in swift.. without the error throwing, which is not the default.

The "You Just Ask Them?" story occurred when he was teaching at Cornell, after his wife's death - and he disclaimed the techniques in the book. Even if your worst impressions are correct, we don't have access to their marital situation - she had a highly contagious disease for the entirety of their marriage. It is obviously very clear that he loved her from the letter. I don't think there's much I could learn that could cheapen the sentiments within it.
I'm a member of the Augur team and just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Tony Sakich and I handle Marketing and some Business Development. I'm a long-time lurker but have recently made a few posts about Augur, trying to only post informative updates, of which is this one so I'm glad it was posted by a friend.

We've had a pretty great 2015 and we have also made some other updates that we didn't focus on due to the crowdsale's success. Augur is moving toward partnership with IBM Watson and that we have been in discussion with four major European banks have verbally expressed interest in participating in the crowdsale. These items and much more are in the post which I encourage anyone interested in the project to read.

Additionally, if this post picks up some steam on the dialogue front, I'm going to reach out to our lead developers to answer some questions if possible.

The ending of the crowdsale meant that the primary focus immediately shifted completely to Development. The Open Source nature of Augur is essential for the project to exist, so we hope that there are some interested in contributing within this community. If anyone would like an invitation to our Slack group please just contact me and I can make it happen. I'm @TonySwish on Twitter and the project itself can be found @AugurProject on Twitter and on GitHub at https://github.com/AugurProject. The official website is http://augur.net and the demo is at http://demo.augur.net

I didn't want to make a post like this until the crowdsale was over as for us getting contributors to the project is our #1 goal.
Just for the context, Anarcho capitalists believe that minimizing the government is not possible. For them, once a government is established, it always gets bigger.

From the `Impossibility of limiting the government` section of `What must be done`[1]

"Now, once the protection monopoly (government) is in place, a logic of its own is set in motion. Every monopolist takes advantage of his position. The price of protection will go up, and more importantly, the content of the law, that is the product quality, will be altered to the advantage of the monopolist and at the expense of others. Justice will be perverted, and the protector becomes increasingly an exploiter and an
expropriator. More specifically, as the result of the territorial monopolization of protection, two tendencies are generated. First, a tendency towards the extensification of exploitation, and second, a tendency towards the intensification of exploitation."

Not only govt, but private companies as well. Remember when the company behind the most widespread US tax software (can't remember its name) lobbied against simpler tax code? Why? It's simple, because it would cut into their sales!

Everybody who has something to lose will vote against a simpler system, doesn't matter whether its a private company or government.

Not much in the short to medium terms. Apple are still selling lots of iOS devices that don't have 3D touch hardware support, and will probably continue to do so for several years to come, so even iOS only apps will still need to offer alternative UI options for the lifetimes of those devices.

During that first meeting, the “mayoress” announced she would not appoint a city marshal because “the salary for that official was an unnecessary expense.” That move alone saved the city $57 a month (the equivalent of $1,220 a month in 2015).

I'd vote for that candidate! Somehow I doubt that a crime wave followed this decision.

I disagree. The company which operates in the UK benefits, so the shareholder - who actually owns a part of the company - does too.
In some parts of the country, utility usage is effectively public knowledge (I'm guessing granularity varies a good bit though). Before we bought our first home, our agent advised us to call the local electric company to ask for past usage to know what to expect in utilities. They were happy to provide an average bill just off the property address.
S-expressions != "lisp"

There is the Common Lisp standard, and those variants really are managed like C compilers are. It's pretty great, and the differences are tiny.

Scheme has standards -- but yes, due to the language's easy implementation many people have made implementations of varying adherence to that standard. This is a good problem, it means people are able to implement their own languages.

Finally - clojure's rationale is pretty straight forward, and has obviously met an incredible niche in the PL space. I don't think it's that controversial of an implementation of S-exps.
Hmmm.

Well, we managed to do it in the Minneapolis metro area. I live on a farm (obviously in a rural area) and I work in downtown Minneapolis about 40 miles and two counties away. I take an express bus to work every day after driving about 15 miles to a Park & Ride (free parking). Since it can use the HOV lanes or drive on the shoulder when necessary, the bus consistently gets me there in less than half the time of driving and I don't need to pay for downtown parking or deal with the stress of bumper to bumper traffic. The actual bus ride costs a little less than I would have to spend on gas to drive there.

Minneapolis has made some streets in downtown bus-only in one direction so there is little intermingling of bus & automobile traffic.

I have to say it works very well.

I still find it hard to believe that it's cheaper to pay someone (per the article, for transport from UK to US) $20k to fly your plane, than it is to dismantle and put it in a shipping container, and reassemble it on the other end.

Maybe I have a naive understanding of the complexity of taking a light aircraft apart? I do know though, that shipping a container from Europe to Australia (!) runs a bill of around $5k, and I can't imagine the plane referred to in the article taking more than two containers.
Last comment on the subject. There is a difference between "Hey how are you man? Thanks for stopping by, but I am really sorry but we are in the middle of something very important. Could you email me instead" and "Sorry we are having a conversation."
Thanks for all the input. I think I found something to quiet my mind:

Raw Material vs. Fabricated Material.

To me this distinction makes the universe come back into alignment. Honeycomb Aluminum is a fabricated material made from aluminum. Denim, a fabricated material made from cotton. A lighting truss, fabricated material from aluminum. The microlattice product from the article is a fabricated material from steel.

Works for me.

Thanks.

google maps used to have the +/- icons in the corner of a screen.. I found this to be very useful for single hand operation of maps... double tap + sliding doesn't work too well because your slide action is constrained to the range of your finger movement, and typically results in a small amount of zoom.
She could probably improve her method by adding some stuff from Gagne's Nine Steps of Instruction[0]

Most of what she's doing I would say is not so much sales stuff, but hitting on important educational theory. For example: She starts with the idea of getting them interested in the topic, by choosing something they've encountered, and then telling an amusing anecdote. (That would be Gagne's step 1 and 2) She then goes on to presenting the new info, but it would be stronger if she did Gagne's step 3 - Ask for prior knowledge. That really cements the audience's trust in you and the topic when some co-participants share their similar amusing anecdotes. I have done this even in large conference settings, and I have always found at least one person brave enough to share their experiences...

Add in a few more of the steps and you really do get effective learning.

That price per gallon is very high compared to the rest of the country. Water is cheap, even during a drought. The problem is the pool of water is shrinking as the population expands. People worried about that should leave the area to almost anywhere in the country where water is even cheaper and not a shortage.

The "standard" for water billing is $ per 1000 gallons. Why, I donno. They're paying $7.50, I'm paying a mere $1.69 as a residential drinker. Sewage fee is much higher than actual water cost... I can get an extra meter for irrigation water and pay much less, because the expensive to operate and expensive to expand sewage treatment plant does not process irrigation water. Most of my "water" bill actually goes to the sewage plant. Water is almost too cheap to meter in the east... sewage, on the other hand, is expensive to treat, and sometimes I think its the only reason we have water meters...

I'm not sure its reasonable to assume something that costs 4x "normal" long term sustainable pricing is being subsidized, unless the true cost of living in a drought is 10x or 100x or whatever and the .gov is subsidizing it somehow as a service to the poor. More data would be necessary to come to a conclusion.

Both the original French and the English translation by Lewis Galantière are lovely.

Chapter 3 is my favorite humanist defense of technology, and one of my favorite pieces of prose about engineering and design:

And now, having spoken of the men born of the pilot’s craft, I shall
say something about the tool with which they work—the airplane. Have
you looked at a modern airplane? Have you followed from year to year
the evolution of its lines? Have you ever thought, not only about the
airplane but about whatever man builds, that all of man’s industrial
efforts, all his computations and calculations, all the nights spent
over working draughts and blueprints, invariably culminate in the
production of a thing whose sole and guiding principle is the ultimate
principle of simplicity?

It is as if there were a natural law which ordained that to achieve
this end, to refine the curve of a piece of furniture, or a ship’s
keel, or the fuselage of an airplane, until gradually it partakes of
the elementary purity of the curve of a human breast or shoulder,
there must be the experimentation of several generations of craftsmen.
In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is
no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to
take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness.

It results from this that perfection of invention touches hands with
absence of invention, as if that line which the human eye will follow
with effortless delight were a line that had not been invented but
simply discovered, had in the beginning been hidden by nature and in
the end been found by the engineer. There is an ancient myth about the
image asleep in the block of marble until it is carefully disengaged
by the sculptor. The sculptur must himself feel that he is not so much
inventing or shaping the curve of breast or shoulder as delivering the
image from its prison.

In this spirit do engineers, physicists concerned with thermodynamics,
and the swarm of preoccupied draughtsmen tackle their work. In
appearance, but only in appearance, they seem to be polishing surfaces
and refining away angles, easing this joint or stabilizing that wing,
rendering these parts invisible, so that in the end there is no longer
a wing hooked to a framework but a form flawless in its perfection,
completely disengaged from its matrix, a sort of spontaneous whole,
its parts mysteriously fused together and resembling in their unity a
poem.

Because Lisp doesn't have a flat memory model, you can't directly produce a binary array suitable for direct copying to output device memory (ex. network card, GPU, etc) by simply expanding expressions using the built in syntax.

This means it's necessary for LISPers to continually reinvent the input-output layer and add non referentially transparent features to the language borrowed from Java or C in order to do any useful work.

Doing so is also contrary to the ideals of functional programming however, so they will continually overthrow the established LISP to invent a new one.

edit: to downvoters, replace "you" with "language runtime implementers", and understand that this is not a normative assertion, but a descriptive theory to explain why we have seen a huge number of non-interoperable Lisp\Scheme implementations with minor differences over the years.

It's easy enough to change over -- just

1. Mandate that everyone in the country install universal (or dual-interface) plugs. Fairly low-cost, and pretty safe.

2. After 50 years, when all plug sockets will probably have been replaced, pick a plug standard and use that.

Like user pdpi, I've fallen in love with the UK sockets since moving here, with the Au/NZ sockets coming in a distant second place. I've never had any trouble with either sort falling out of the socket, something I can't say about the American or European standards.
No worries Naval. I really didn't take much offense to it. Just wrong timing on both sides. Sorry as well if my comment came across the wrong way.
Yeah, you kind of have to keep the context in mind when reading about Feynman's "pick up artist" stories. Much of it takes place not only in the context of the "hook up scene", but also in the hook up scene fifty-plus years ago. The guy giving him lessons in how to pick up girls was basically telling him there's a certain process to the hook up scene, and part of it involved women taking advantage of men who will allow it. The key bit of advice was to recognize when they were pushing for freebies, and to push right back. It established a relationship of equals, which then had a fairly good chance of resulting in the casual sex both parties were ultimately looking for. From our perspective some of the behavior seems pretty crass, but that's because the subtleties of the hook up scene change over time. The cultural anchors have shifted, and what was once simply an offhand citation of the normative gender roles now sounds downright boorish.
Right, but most VC's want an exit, acquisition or IPO. They are not in it for the next 20 years or so. They are waiting for the right market conditions. Which happens when the public really buys the hype and will spend their money buying up stocks after IPO. They can't go public preemptively.
