>It’s important that you distort reality for others but not yourself.

I would love to see more content and discussion around this. I understand clearly why it is important to pitch who you will be not who you are when recruiting and raising money but when it comes to day to day, doesn't this contradict what you had said earlier about sharing all of the good and bad with your employees? Replacing your water jugs with Kool-Aid at the office just seems evil to me. I'm not sure if that is really what you are saying or not but it seems synonymous with unicorn culture. I see a lot of positives to creating a culture masked with illusion, but in my head, all of the value seems short-term.
I liked this article since it appeared honest, realistic and had humor. Thanks.
The reason that 90% of the component code is in the render function is because everything else has been moved out to actions & reducers. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

And I'm firmly in the "lots of tiny little components" camp, so I don't have any large render functions. That's also another reason I'm not going to adopt the pattern the OP suggests -- that pattern uses 3 files per component.
Absolutely. Data corruption from VIA based host controllers was probably the worst issue we've seen, and the USB 3.0 ASMedia host controllers are probably the worst now that VIA was able to solve their issue with a driver update.

Most hardware on the market today was released before the xhci spec 1.0 was finished, and I agree that ALL hardware on the market does not even properly implement the spec that was available during its design. Fortunately, most issues can be worked around using quirks.

The hardware is the root of the problem, but I would also add that the xhci_hcd kernel module, even in the latest kernels, is well behind Microsoft in terms of handing these device-specific quirks. The Microsoft USB 3.0 stack introduced in Widows 8 solves just about every host-specific issue we've ever seen. ASMedia is the only host controller vendor that bothers to provide their own Windows 8/10 driver (both for their USB 3 Gen1 and Gen2 chips). No one else provides an alternative to the Microsoft provided usbxhci.sys.
That said, all of our tests have been limited to bulk transfers, and we're only using existing user space libraries (WinUSB, LibUSB, IOKit). We do push throughput, we have tight latency requirements, and we keep a large number of buffers queued at all times, which does push the host controllers further than your typical storage device. (We make streaming data recording equipment for electrical engineers and embedded developers)

I don't want to bash xhci_hcd though; their progress has been fantastic, despite the minefield of problems created by all these host controller vendors. I would like to say a special thanks to @sarahsharp, for all of the hard work put into the xhci host controller module. Without Sarah, I don't know who will answer when the xhci_hcd doorbell rings.
Apparently, that's how people build "flux stores" in samples. Their purpose is to hold "all the state of the application", so that design is enough. I'm not versed in Flux, but I can imagine that in real world situations one would actually build a store that has some sort of persistent cache, like by using a database or the filesystem.
It seems like you need to do some more reading for full comprehension (and I am a novice), but real quick:

Ansible/Chef/Puppet are for configuration management and Vagrant is for managing VMs (normally on a local machine, for development). These tools may provide some overlap from a 'solutions' perspective, but they achieve the result via a different approach.

ETA: Apparently, Guix is for both package management and config, which is really interesting. This might be the excuse I needed to learn Scheme.

IANAL, but I don't think so.

Governments are not territories: "No Party shall require [...] access to source code [...] as a condition for the import [...] in its territory.". Because a given closed-source software cannot be bought in a specific procurement doesn't mean that it cannot be sold/used in the territory, so the text doesn't apply.

I don't think you can solve that by just putting an import tax on aluminum. What about aluminum produced with cleaner energy than coal? Would you want to ask what energy source they used? Would you make it depend on the country of origin? What about for example cars? Would you also tax them for the aluminum content? Depending on the origin of that aluminum? If not it seems like you would create a disadvantage for US car manufacturers having to use the more expensive domestic or taxed imported aluminum. Or airplanes? Maybe it doesn't matter as much as I imagine because aluminum is always only part of the costs but I am convinced it would not be a trivial thing to tax dirty aluminum.
If you don't mind, I will share my not successful case too :)

I posted this Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7768857) for a Cold Call Manager. It got some validation on the problem with reasonable upvotes (57), it stayed on front page for a full day (more than 24h).

But it was a half-baked product with outsourced development (i'm not a developer myself) from a particularly bad source.

Here is the former landing page: http://imgur.com/2VkKWXx

It was basically "sales follow-up focused mini Trello" using a few processes I use myself to this date (from an Excel sheet) on my salesy job.

If some developer out there is interested in a side project solving the problem of non-sales people having to do sales and demanding a software much more simple than all CRM and Salesforce out there, contact me and I share the whole idea.
I think his point is more opposition vs. incumbent than Democrat vs. Republican. Democrats were more against military action until it was their own candidate directing it, Republicans were more for it until it was no longer theirs. If you look at the commonalities between the two parties when they've each been in the same role, it supports your point.
Software jobs probably don't benefit from "intellectual property" all that much. If you risk treble damages for "willful" patent infringement (or whatever the extra damages are), you're not going to look at software patents. You're going to invent that wheel for yourself. There's also some evidence that Silicon Valley works better than the Boston area because programmers only produce company's "intellectual property" on the clock. After hours, whatever you do in California is yours. Also California doesn't enforce non-compete agreements.

So I don't think the situation is as simple as strong "IP" protections are thought to benefit the USA economy. Unless you're a big faith-based believer in "IP".
If you're looking for a checking account, I highly recommend Charles Schwab. They've always had excellent customer service, a pretty modern tech presence, and best of all you can use any ATM anywhere in the world without worrying about fees—they'll reimburse you for any fees charged.

How would they see that? The only gravity you can see is the sum total of all fields that influence you.

There is no ability to see gravity directionally, and if all the gravity causes you to accelerate you don't see anything at all.

Normal particles can see the influence of gravity only particles, but gravity only particles in free fall can not, the experience nothing at all.
There is a difference between a "liberal arts career" and a "liberal arts education". Arguably the latter is exactly what you describe (supplementing).

There's a set of problems that tend to go together when you're doing audio tech development: We have to build apps/plugins that run on many platforms and plugin APIs (so managing many different compiler projects for the same codebase is really helpful). We always tend to have complicated and custom GUIs (hence all the GUI framework stuff). And there's a whole set of other commonly needed library code that we provide.

Re: the live-coding stuff, initially we've found it really useful for GUI design - isolating individual GUI classes and nudging their code around to get the behaviour right, rather than having to repeat the tedious edit->compile->run->navigate cycle. But it has a lot more potential uses that we're just starting to explore, and hopefully as it becomes more solid, our users will think of even more things it can do.
The issue is not related to any personal taste or distaste for the REST style, it's that the paucity of idiomatic, complete examples and practical references has permitted the repurposing of the term "RESTful" to mean JSON RPC, and going hand-in-hand with that problem, nobody(?) is trying to implement Fielding-grade REST APIs.

Hi all,

I created this as part of Udacity's Data Science nanodegree. It uses metadata provided by Arxiv's API to build a categorization model for the scientific disciplines, using each papers title to build a "bag of words" vectorized model and then allocates each paper to a category based on the contents in its summary abstract. Each category grows out of a "parent category", sorted by a simple difference in words of the categorical labels.

Part of the project is to publish the visualization to gain feedback from users, so if you have any suggestions or feedback, please let me know! It's certainly not perfect by any means, but being my first data visualization and first exposure to programming with a javascript framework(d3.js), I'm quite proud of it.

I plan on writing up a blog post about the development of this, mostly for myself to reflect on the personal growth (and sometimes frustrating!) experience, that hopefully others find interesting or informative. For now, I need to focus on finish up the nanodegree (A/B testing next!)

I don't think that last interpretation would be valid; this specifically says it prohibits territorial requirements. ie if you required that all software imported to your country be GPL, that would fall under this section.
And that's the percentage! The article is dealing with raw numbers. The US population at large grew 9.7% between 2000 and 2010 (http://www.census.gov/2010census/data/apportionment-pop-text...). So it would be expected that a given subset of that population would also increase by about that amount.

A further confound is that you can not know that you had Cherokee ancestry in 2000, but discover that in the next ten years. I'd think this would be especially true during the rise of internet-based ancestry research tools.
'Private browsing' is a fucking scam. These people are fooling non-technical people and the elderly into thinking what they do online is private, when it is not.

They make a big hoorah about shit like this - things they shouldn't have permitted to happen in their browser in the first place, congratulating themselves while they lull the less intelligent into becoming victim of dragnet surveillance.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PRIVATE BROWSING. FUCK FIREFOX. Fuck its cocksucking faggot developers and the furry and inept gnu-tards who're the only people who made usable forks. 'usable' in the case of shit moon.

That said, I still use it because it's the only option re: prebuilt tor versions, extensibility and competently displaying the html on pages properly.

Well I for one love the rapid release cycle, am glad about Firefox Hello because it is advancing the state of WebRTC and don't mind the Pocket integration because the client-side code is developed by Mozilla and doesn't consume resources unless you actually use it. And I've been a Chrome user and switched back to Firefox because I think they are doing good work lately.

Sit through the video - it's absolutely fantastic - captivating quality content. Good job Vice, this is solid journalism.

Does anyone know where I can get the soundtrack for the video and is the audio of the video from the telidon network? I'm a blabbering idiot for idm, mid-era, and am overly passionate about it.

BTW, the quote at 9:23 works great context-free:

"I was just out of university; I wasn't worried about finding a job, I knew I was going to find a job. So I was just going to have fun exploring"

truncated there for effect. The interviewee goes on...

"[have fun exploring] technology and working with all these great artists and meeting all these neat people, it's fantastic. It was really fun."

If I could only seize that attitude every moment of my life ... a focus on learning, listening, collaboration, creation, and passion - pivoting on awareness and inward potential blossoming outward with anxiety told to take a back seat.

How can I make that enfold me?
That is a very valid point and it puts a real emphasis on skills that will be in demand as long as there are people.

Most people don't think much of it but people who cut hair, do HVAC work, plumbing, electrical, washing cars, running funeral homes, etc will be in demand until the thing they work on no longer exists. The only real barrier here is people willing to try to do it themselves to save money but that doesn't create competition so much as just removes a single customer.

> What we have is a simple contradiction between the religion of Jesus and the religion of Paul.

What we have here is you not applying the Principe of Charity and accepting the fact that Jesus was saying the things he was in a certain social and historical context. I don't know why you insist on approaching a religious text as a logic textbook.

> My point is this: Scripture is a really terrible "moral compass" because due to contradictions like these you have to use your own value judgement to decide what is really the correct interpretation.

Coming from someone that has studied ethics, I can assure you that most ethical theories rely on value judgments at some point down the line. If this is your only criticism, the ethical theories of the Bible share many similarities with many non-religious theories as well. Sure, maybe Christian ethical theory is not as strong as something like Kantian ethics of duty, but we're splitting hairs here. Is it maybe a sub-optimal moral compass? Sure, but a moral compass nonetheless.

> If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

I'm trying to be as charitable as possible here, but you are grossly overreaching. There are literally dozens of explanations of the above quote on the internet, http://biblehub.com/commentaries/luke/14-26.htm. The translation also doesn't quite capture the fact that "hate" should probably be "loves less" or, more correctly, "honors less" or "treat with less affection."
> Hate to pull an ad hominem attack

This is by no means ad hominem. That would be more "Robinson is a mean person so whatever she says is worthless".

Questioning someone's biases is an entirely valid line of argument.

If we are AI programs, then we have by now a quite solid model of the CPU that supports our existence. It took centuries to decode the instruction set but we finally made it.
We even have this theory that the CPU is itself made of "transistors" which are like "incarnated bits" and there's this funny elecstringcity stuff which is supposed to animate the whole thing. However nobody will ever see it. Because programs can't see.
As far as I'm concerned it can very well be made of pure poetry, as long as it puts into one verse the whole address space.

They typically pay out more than they take in as premiums. But the time from taking money in to paying it out is in years to decades, so they sit on a mountain of money. Warren made the bulk of his money by using that money wisely.
Yeah it doesn't really mean anything. Being a benefit corporation doesn't obligate the company to do materially reduce profits and in any case the company can choose to stop being a benefit corporation at any time.

I don't think you're being fair. I'm seeing a lot of improvements from Firefox, outside of their vastly improved developer tools and tracking prevention.

* They've been working on multi-process Firefox,
enabled in developer edition [1]
* They've been beating Chrome's JS Engine in the
benchmarks (not to mention IE) [2]
* They've been implementing more and more of HTML5, about
81% of the way there according to [3]
* Firefox supports more ES6 features than Chrome [4]

I guess I'm seeing a lot of good progress coming from the Firefox team.

A: Almost every application that is being made ends up lagging in schedule, regrettably."
A new dimension to high-temperature superconductivity discovered
I don't think the problem is that Twitter needs to re-invent itself or change what they are. It serves a purpose, some people use it well, and some people find value in it. Almost everyone who does see that value says exactly the same thing - curate your own feed, and it becomes a good tool.

But then those same people say it is about teaching everyone else to do it the same way. But I am not sure that is true. Not everyone wants to see content in the same way. Just like not everyone read newspapers or watched TV news when they were dominant, people will have their own preferences. So the assumption that the market for Twitter is "Everyone on the internet." is flawed.

It seems to me that Twitter has simply reached its market capacity. Their growth curve has flattened. But they have significant revenue. They need to stop trying to change the product to grow their market, and start simplifying their internal processes and decreasing costs. They need to serve their existing market even better, while spending less money.

If they can do that, then they will move into the black, and start operating like a non-startup, which is not such a bad thing for a company that has been around for almost 10 years.

Dogs, chickens, and goats are a good mix from personal sustainability standpoint. Particularly nutritious milk plus eggs to supplement produce. Cows are way too ungainly. Wondered though whether there were particular goat breeds with more docile dispositions than the ones I've seen which also don't exhibit a wanderlust.
Yes. Playing this back in the day, with a stereo, larger TV, etc... delivered a pretty serious impact. There was nothing else like it.

IMHO, that game sold a lot of Atari computers. Was written by the guy who designed the sound chip, and it was kind of a side project that turned out great enough to showcase the computers.

The particle calculations are not well optimized. While this is seen as a bug, and there is an effort to make the game run faster, many players appreciate the slowdown in battle. There is a feel associated with that which adds a lot to the overall impression of the game. It's oddly gratifying to feel it slow down as the enemy and their shots explode...
> Hypothetically, if there are sentient critters composed of dark matter

You can't. Particles that interact only via gravity can't "do" anything. Unless you theorize there is some other force that only affects dark matter.

If the only force is gravity then dark matter particles can "overlap" without interacting, so you would have huge clouds of particles orbiting and passing through each other for eternity since they have no friction they have no ability to transform velocity into other forms of energy.

Since they are eternally in free fall they can detect nothing whatsoever.

Occasionally some ordinary mass would go by and move their orbits and they would not be able to tell since you can not feel gravity when in free fall.

> would they just see inexplicable gravitational point-masses with absolutely nothing there to cause them?

You can not see gravity directionally, so you can not see points with more, or less, gravity. You can't even detect the sum total of gravity affecting you since it will just make you accelerate, which you can not detect if over things nearby are also accelerating.

You can only detect gravity that is countered by some other force.

All the gravitational detection we do is by detecting particles via light, not via gravity.
