Nobody is taking anything; they are operating in a free market and making their best choice, which may be to sell the big house and buy a smaller one in a cheaper neighborhood. If they choose instead to impoverish themselves, and they had all the information in front of them, then ok I guess.

But I imagine nobody in their right mind would deliberately go broke when other options were available. I imagine that folks that work hard to convince them to do such things, are not working in their favor.

Patronizing them would be, deciding that a reverse mortgage is always in their best interest.

I would say the old approach was to add contenteditable=true to a <div>, call execCommand for formatting, and try to fix the issues this would cause. Editors in the last couple of years simply avoid using contenteditable in as many cases as possible. So the major differences would probably be when and where each of these editors tolerate native contenteditable behavior and which implement it themselves. But it's near impossible to not use contenteditable at all and all editors that I know of (including Trix and ProseMirror) use it to some degree.

For example to handle paste, I've found the best way is to detect a paste, shift focus to another invisible contenteditable div, interpret the pasted content, and insert that into the actual editor through the editor's API. That way no weird/unexpected markup ends up in the editor (whether or not the editor also utilizes contenteditable).

Another trend is a focus on the document model, which is the editor's main data structure to keep track of content. Older editors just use the DOM (or HTML strings) and hand that to you as their API. These editors really don't know themselves precisely what content they contain and cannot offer an API for the simple task of inserting text in a specific nth position. Extensibility becomes quite limited and often leads to a lot of edge case code. I think ProseMirror is right to have the document model as a focal point as I've reached the same conclusion with Quill and have worked on to improve for some time now. The upcoming 1.0 version boasts a much more powerful document model that is being open source separately as Parchment.
Yes! Thank you for explaining this. I don't think a lot of people realize what makes up a good release tarball.
This is very interesting. Just by skimming the texts, there's a noticeable difference. Matt's paragraphs generally start with "So I..." or "So you/we.." and it's possible to grasp the overall flow of the logic even by looking the beginning of each paragraph, whereas gmaxwell/jgarzik often starts with statements like "This is..." or "I think..." where the relation to previous paragraphs is less clear. Thanks for sharing this.
This was a common strategy among pit traders in the 80's to place orders to entice other traders to follow, while a partner would take a large position in the opposite direction. Paul Tudor Jones was infamous for it and even laughed about it on the documentary, "Trader".

It is ethically questionable, but shouldn't be illegal. You shouldn't be managing money if your strategy is to follow bigger fish.

I certainly think that corporal punishment is an idea worth revisiting for minor crimes, and that perhaps we could expand the use of the death penalty for repeat offenders, but these ideas have fallen out of fashion too.
I agree with the above.

Unless we're a Vidal or Buckley, people tend to wander in thought as they speak. It does not come with much forethought. It's typically just a messy stream of consciousness (and not in the Welty sense).

So while overwrought writing can be stilted, "writing like you talk" is just as much a put-off, it often comes off as if there was little forethought and work put into the writing.
"Core fielded an enquiry about NextBSD and whether this should be the future direction for the whole FreeBSD project. Core's position is that NextBSD is an interesting project, and we regard it, like the other BSD projects, as a potential source of good ideas. However, we currently have no plans to adopt NextBSD as the official FreeBSD distribution."

I don't see launchd coming to FreeBSD anytime soon.

This is definitely not socialism! There is no coercive government intervention here. It is the CEO of a private company paying his employees above market rate. One of the many benefits of a free market is that you will often see experiments like this. Some will fail, some will succeed, but no one will go to Siberia.
Socialism is political system, an incredibly irrational and immoral one, but this is merely a business decision taken by a single CEO exercising his own independent judgement.

I think this is rubbish advice.

I'd much rather we all spoke on first attempt like we write after thoughtful review.

I'm reminded of the (gradual) removal of all Latin from British legislation with a view to making it more 'accessible', at the obvious expense of the concise preciseness that the language afford: "with having changed the things requiring changing" is rather less economical than "mutatis mutandis".

In a slightly facetious sort of way, I also think the "thanks to .. for reading drafts of this" is rather amusing.
It's nothing like that. California is a part of the United States. Greece is a sovereign country, it does whatever it wants. The economic integration between Greece and the rest of the Eurozone is nothing like the integration between California and the rest of the US.

If we loan money to Greece, they can simply decide not to pay us back. Historically, this happens a lot, particularly with war debts. Traditionally, terms on nation-to-nation loans have pretty much always included political concessions. If Greece needs Germany's money, Germany is well-within their purview to demand political concessions, running the risk of having them elect a new government that will simply decide not to pay them back or adhere to the concessions. It's a game states have played since the Middle Ages.

What I took away from the Jacobin article is that the US is often in the position of being a pay-day loan provider to crazy regimes that do awful things to get in power. We often simply aren't in the position to take the high road, and so we must do the best we can to promote our own interests by favoring one genocidal jackass over another. Politics is not pretty.

Bolivia deciding they don't need our money anymore is exactly how it's supposed to work. Your jackass son decided he doesn't need daddy's money anymore and goes out and gets a job and starts paying his own rent. That's a way more preferable outcome for them, even if we pout over the loss of another puppet.
This is complete fluff without quantifying the properties of the algebraic system. 1D PDEs with billions of variables can easily be solved in seconds on a laptop. Fully 3D highly indefinite equations are another story. The university press should be ashamed.
I really enjoyed the post and the idea of proposing alternate theories, but it doesn't discuss the mentality of those without a strong opinion of Airbnb. I assume that people who are fairly neutral will see their social networks express a negative opinion and internalize the negative opinion. The biggest impact isn't the people who read this 50 times rather the people who vaguely associate Airbnb with being out of touch and negative.
Thanks for that!

Must be archaic indeed because I cannot remember ever having seen reëvaluate before.

I appreciate the correction. If I had a cat, I'm pretty sure it would give me one of those "see I told you so" looks right about now.

> CSS files are not independent modules

I wholeheartedly disagree. Using Bootstrap, for example, I'm able to remove rules that aren't related to each other by commenting out the import. In fact, I use only 5 of Bootstrap's 15+ LESS files for most projects.

Of course, for the custom CSS for any site that sits on top of Bootstrap, I put that all into one file. But for someone writing all their CSS from scratch, multiple files makes sense. What if you have a huge project that needs everything styled down to the radio buttons, and then you also have a one-pager that only needs a few styles? You'd want to be able to take your existing CSS with you and disable/enable as necessary.
I am not sure that giving full control over how group of people (a large one at that) access information to one company is really a good idea.

Considering how social media has been used to create unrest, it might be even a bad idea.
It would be reimplemented in the target language (or possibly C). The interesting part is mostly the protocol, the language is just the proof of concept for now.
Article titled "Facebook meets skepticism..." is actually about Reliance's network issues not helping Internet.org. SaveTheInternet is portrayed as a hurdle for everyone getting free internet access.

Facebook's meets "skepticism" because it is offering walled internet in South East Asian countries like India, Indonesia, etc. Facebook + a few services that people didn't ask for.
Clicking external links on Facebook will lead to a page warning that you will be charged if you visit a service that's not part of internet.org. Google has also been offering such a service called "Google Free Zone" in certain countries.

If Facebook or Google feel so charitable, why not help telecom providers write-off data costs and offer say 250mb/month free per person?
A real-time guard can handle most of what it needs: packet-inspection, rate limiting, spotting NTP layer abuse, transport security, authentication, small TCB, real-time, etc. Highly-assured guards have been used for about every other insecure app and protocol so I don't see why not this one.

Throw in tech like Code Pointer Integrity or Softbound on client side for extra measure. Or reimplement it in an inherently safer language.

It depends greatly on what you want your blog to do.

If you just want to publish articles (no comments or any other dynamic features), use something like Jekyll. Otherwise, just use whichever you're most comfortable with, either WP or Ghost. It really won't make any technical difference to you. The major differences will be how easy it is for you to use, so pick the one that seems easiest.
You also have to look at the person's beginning state of health - all aspects of their health, not just physical and some general overview of emotional/mental state. Perhaps knowing the differences of how they approach health-concerns is important as well - even looking at their diet.

I don't know of any tests that would adequately determine the holistic health of someone. You have to define what health means as well.

Psychological flexibility is a term that may come into the mainstream more in the future - the ability for the mind to be more fluid between states; all-or-nothing thinking vs. "I'm happy and sad [at the same time]."

Perhaps psychoactives lead to expanding the capabilities of ones' mind, expanding ones' ability to think, creating new connections - which includes opening up their creativity. If there is some block, whether it is a coping mechanism or other, then what happens when a coping mechanism in a brain that's been developing further for a decade or longer with that mechanism in place - and then you change the environment suddenly? Whatever that coping mechanism was helping you cope with is all of the sudden potentially broken or removed -- what will happen to the rest of the systems and pathways? Many systems will potentially all of a sudden experience something they never have experienced before - perhaps with schizophrenia being on the extreme side of fluidity of mental energy being more rigid - so certain systems shutdown and become rigid and which would be on a spectrum of rigidness of course.

Neural pathways will have a normal rate of connecting throughout the brain, all of the sudden changing that will cause unexpected connections. Some of those connections could have been missing because of the coping mechanisms that were in place. Most coping mechanisms protect from perceived emotional pain or physical pain and are learned because "I did X and felt Y - so I will no longer do X [or keep it in my awareness, e.g. conditioning]" - which where the understanding could be wrong. This would put a person more in all-or-nothing thinking instead of a fluid state that having more than 1 possibility in your mind would allow for.

Perhaps it is certain thinking structures are learned as rigid then this will evolve into problems, and depending on which and how many structures are more rigid will determine what issues they will have and how severe they impact behaviour. It could be genetic for what thinking structures are possible or it could a coping mechanism from whatever situation occurred. Autism for example can be seen as a developmental delay or block, and depending where one is at on the spectrum, different therapies can have a substantial impact on unlocking the developmental block and allowing the child/person to continue their natural development evolution.

Not indirect enough.

The question just forces the person being asked to think, "Would I mind if this researcher saw me as someone who would mind if a foreigner lived next door to me?" And the degree to which this second-order question matters depends heavily on social mores.

Japan is a country where people are expected from a young age to compartmentalize their tatemae (external appearance) from honne (true thoughts), and consider it perfectly normal to do so. So I wouldn't be surprised if they were simply better at hiding perceived-as-negative sentiments from naive researchers.

Koreans, on the other hand, admire Americans and Western Europeans but look down upon Africans and South/Southeast Asians, and often express outright contempt for the Japanese and Chinese. Depending on their political views, they may even feel socially compelled to express a hatred of one or another nationality. Meanwhile, Korean culture doesn't acknowledge the tatemae/honne distinction, which makes it a lot more difficult for people to compartmentalize.

tl;dr: We're all racists, but some forms of racism are easier to measure.
Yes, I kept reading trying to figure out what the meat was here. Medium scale HPC initiative at _Stanford_?
I never understood their original business model, they were going to sell classes and events (conferences) around an open-source project that would compete with other open-source projects? Was that really what was worth 20+M of funding.

Now, seeing this pivot, I am still scratching my head a bit. So they are leveraging the work they did on famous to create a CMS which lets marketers easily create apps. Ok, I'll by that as a potential pivot, leverage what you've got in the high-performance library.

But I have a few issues with their new homepage and possibly business model.

1) you have to contact Sara from Famous to get her to sign you up. I'd think a company like Famous with access to so many potential customers would have been able to get a bunch of beta testers to try their product before setting up their homepage.

2) I clicked the play button under 'simple' expecting to see a video demonstrating the product, but it just led me to a bit of text describing a 'micro-app', I can't even touch an example micro-app they've created.
Same with 'beautiful' and 'elegant'. Nothing here. I may expect that of a company trying to figure out their market, but the expectation is higher here. Maybe it's just me.
Thanks for clarifying and yes, lots of interesting stories to be told around the edges of this post. Some are already written and linked. For example, I'd recommend Why ContentEditable is Terrible by Nick.

1.5 billion people use Facebook at least once a month[1]. That's 50% of all humans with access to the internet[2].

I'd say your anecdotal evidence is very, very, very wrong. Facebook's behavior, in the long run, is extremely effective. Large companies willing to lobby for favorable laws have been a dominant force in all societies since there was a such thing as a "large company". I don't know what could happen to change that.

I regularly drop that link when I see people talk about FOSS's many eyeballs like they inherently mean something. That said, I recently got to read Cathedral and Bazaar. In that, he made good points esp about parallel debugging. I think the truth is somewhere between their two claims. Plan on trying to figure out the specifics in the future.

I lean more toward PHK given FOSS model has never produced a high assurance system while proprietary and core team models have done many:

Because surely the government will interpret "cyber threat indicator" in the most restricted, privacy-saving way imaginable?

The first thing this bill allows for is to have Facebook rat out whatever communication they deem "malicious" to the federal government and be shielded from the fallout.
I'd take GP's comment more as a criticism of these bait-y, cowardly, speculative headlines than as the suggestion that the true answer is "no".
It's silly. Look I think it's fine for FB to do this, it's better than nothing although the resources could be better spent. But at the end of the day, it's not internet access at all. It's wireless access to a select amount of intranets, basically, including FB and a few partner networks. That's fine, just don't run a campaign about the internet and use a domain like internet.org.

Either way, it doesn't really seem to matter. Looks like it's not gaining traction because users want internet, not what is offered. So either they steer the ship towards the goal of providing that, or it dies. I'm sure they're learning tons right now and I'm sure in a few years it'll have improved substantially, so I'm still optimistic.
"Evangelical" is a pretty broad term. You seem to have cherry-picked some sets of beliefs and characteristics to support your belief.

For example, not all evangelicals are young earthers. Also not all, and probably not even most, attend the type of megachurch you keep talking about.

"Just say a few words about Jesus and they'll follow" is another straw man. There are plenty of Christians who wouldn't identify as evangelical who also will try to use the words of Jesus to their advantage. Even Bernie Sanders tried that tactic recently. I somehow doubt he's going to get a wide swath of evangelical support.

Belief in God is not the same thing as giving up rationality; which you seem to indicate. That's a common bias a lot of people have.

I think your post says more about you than the large group of people you want to stereotype and marginalize.
>Perhaps I can help you "find" some ideas... they come so easily if one is open to them...

The idea should not be a spur of the moment thing. It has be well researched, pros and cons analyzed etc. I am curious if the creator of the thread can elaborate on why the need for a startup. I am even more surprised he was able to find a co-founder without an idea.
One of the aspects of socialist economies is that unlike in free-market economies, wages are not set by the market. Whether they are set by the CEO or the Central Committee is a distinction without a difference.

You can swap the word "capitalism" in for "socialism" in your comment, and those statements would still work. Socialism didn't fail because it were monstrous. It failed, because we ran out of money and the will to live in squalor.
This looks basically like ESP8266 connected to a serial-to-USB chip and put on a breakout board. I guess all processing is done on ESP, which is like $2 (and less if you buy bulk), so I can see the kit being $7. Don't know about Python though.

Only valid point you presented, and it's better discussed elsewhere in this thread.
Bartleby, the Scrivener: An interactive, annotated story of Wall Street
It's the same thing with Haskell, or any other "real" system that, at some level, has to interface with low-level primitives. The platform gives you a pile of unsafe, low-level primitives ( https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-prim-0.4.0.0/docs/GH... ) on top of which you (or a library writer) can provide safe interfaces, e.g. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/buffer-builder

That looks like the older revision that uses the ESP-12 module rather than an ESP-12E. But yes, it does 802.11b/g (don't think it does n), with a pretty full IP stack. It'll run both LUA as part of the NodeMCU project, and it'll also do C/C++ natively with the arduino project also supporting it as a board directly.

EDIT:

Here's a board with the ESP-12E

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NodeMcu-Lua-WIFI-Internet-Things-dev...

It has some more flash and more pins broken out compared to the ESP-12

Also once you've got something build you can buy the bare modules for usually <$3 and they don't need much support hardware to use, just a 3.3 volt regulator. The ESP-12/E modules however use a 1mm pitch rather than 2.54mm pitch that you usually find on breadboards, so they are a bit more difficult to setup initially if you're doing it bare.
