I like the concept, would definitely try out again when it's a bit further along. Main things from a quick look:

- Today's monitors have plenty of horizontal space but a shortage of vertical space; the context window needs to be alongside, rather than under, the code window.

- Ctrl-C/X without a selection should copy/cut the current line.

- Autocomplete doesn't seem to work, e.g. type 'st' for the beginning of the 'static' keyword and nothing happens - the underlying mechanism is there and working, because manually triggered completion with ctrl-space does work.

I’ve only been using FastMail for a few months now but my experience has been quite positive. Its speed lives up to its name and I’ve never had trouble with it working. It even works better with Apple Mail than iCloud does, which is crazy.

The prices seem a little steep but they’re manageable.
Flynn looks very exciting, congrats! I am having trouble figuring out what the minimal and recommended setups would be across providers. And what exactly happens when I issue scale commands? I'm looking to get an idea of costs to compare different providers, but also to compare against running on heroku. Thanks!

> The profile page is the resource (or a representation of the resource) identified by the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) used to access the profile page. This is true, pretty much by definition.

No that's not true at all. Your API design should not influence the user experience but the other way around and you're unlikely to change models should you have more optimal ways to presenting things.

On paper? Sure but I've never seen anything able to be split so nicely as you describe.

Pensions in the U.S. have always been a bit of a balance sheet scam. With few exceptions companies were allowed to comingle pension assets with the companies' day to day funds with a chunk kind-of fenced off. But the pension fund was fair game if the company went bankrupt, and in the 80s a very popular corporate raider tactic was to buy a company, leverage it as much as possible, and if it went bankrupt divert as much of the pension fund as possible to paying the very managers who bankrupted the company.

Government pensions are worse in that few government entities ever set aside a truly funded pension fund, using the argument that as a continuing entity theyd always be able to top off the fund with additional tax revenues if the investment projections did not pan out. In practice no elected official will voluntarily vote to raise taxes to meet the obligations to top off oension funds, hence the slow unfolding train wreck with public pensions in Illinois.

A general failure of any defined benefit pension seems to be the dependency on the sponsoring organization as a continuing, growing, profitable entity. No accomodation for changing economics, diminished industries, or reduced workforce.
Wait, you want to use concept that occurs in modern math, but to keep things simple, you invent new names for these concepts?

I see nothing wrong with crossing symbolic landscapes that have been trodden before, finding new (or rediscovering old) uses, techniques etc. But I think researching existing taxonomy/nomeclature can be very useful. Eg: ref other comments here: a tree is a graph that doesn't have cycles. If you say something is a tree, then that is pretty clear. Sure you can go on to define what a tree is, for those that have no background in basic graph theory -- but stacking somewhat redundant, special-purpose terms strikes me as being mostly confusing.

(Again, wrt. the symbols vs terms/concise vs verbose I'm not entirely sure I think that whole concept is a wise direction, but I'll happily defer judgement on that a decade or so)

[ed: After reading the actual article, not just the comments :-) -- it's not as bad as the comments indicate, by any means. I think the clarification on trees/cells really helped. That said, I think it would benefit from a couple of complete rewrites. It still feels like a rough draft (which is ok. Sharing is caring, share early for feedback, posting now is better than editing forever in secret etc). For me the strongest points are probably the direct contrasts with lisp, the part about trees etc.

Basically, trust in the ideas: they are not revolutionary, they are small changes on old ideas. That's fine. The sum of the system can still be revolutionary. But I think the "soft sell" would end up in a much stronger message here. And more people would grasp at least some parts of what you're trying to say/do ;-) ]

Your "unforgiving" comment is actually exactly what makes me nervous about using this (a command line util) vs a GUI application. I feel like (and this may be a total misconception) my poor typing abilities are better caught in a GUI than cmd line, unless the application itself has something built in (like git's fuzzy commands), where most UI applications, at least on Mac, are sort of validated by the OS level field validation.

The veneration of the Constitution is a weak point in American government. It's riddled with policy mistakes (see: Impeachment, where the Vice President would cast the deciding vote in his own trial should there be a tie) and rediculous vagaries (Judges serve for life so long as they remain "in good behavior"), not to mention the validation of the fundamental evil of slavery which was, at the time, already a point of contention.

Rather than an objective framework for government, the Constitution has morphed into a shield against discourse, a talisman wielded to justify policies that deserve to be questioned. It's our National Bible, where things are right because see, it says it right there.

I think you're wrong about IBM. Just about everybody knows it stands for "International Business Machines," and if I'm not mistaken it went by that name for a long time before it became popular enough to go by the acronym.

Naming is more important than you think. No doubt a great name won't fix a bad product, and a bad name won't hurt a great product too much, but outside those extremes, I think it helps to have a catchy, unique sounding name, that isn't too ridiculous sounding. If I feel silly or stupid saying a product's name (or an open source project's name), I'm not likely to recommend it unless it's just over the top awesome, which most things aren't.
@peteretep gave a great reply - maybe better than this one, but here's my view on it:

Stuff like this (and the next section) is easily doable: http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Dealing-with-Pett...

A lot of the things you'll think to do in an electronic system, with tags and tables and so on, can ultimately be modeled by accounts in a double entry system, and probably just as powerfully once you add things like "virtual accounts" and the like.

At some point, it's sort of like greenspun's 10th rule - any sufficiently advanced money tracking system will implement a version of double entry accounting in it.
Salary in tech should equal output
All I found was an FAQ entry from MoneyDance talking about how underneath it's double entry, but they try their hardest to hide that fact from the users. So, yeah, I guess technically it's double entry, but not in a way that is immediately obvious for a lot of use cases.
Thanks!

Minimum high availability setup would be three nodes with 1GB of memory each, more memory if you're using a heavier application framework like Rails.

When you run a scale command Flynn creates new application containers that are balanced across the cluster, so if you scaled to six instances with three hosts in the cluster, you'd end up with two instances on each of the three hosts.

You ever try an Amiga? It was about 10 years ahead of anything else.
In the end it's impossible to criticize Agile because the way supporters frame it is that all good things are Agile, all bad things are not Agile and / or Waterfall. Goodness and Agile are inherently linked, so the presence of badness must mean that it is not Agile, or at least not properly practiced Agile.

Agile as it's practiced by 99% of practitioners is more like "processes and tools over individuals and interactions". Infantile retrospectives, constant stand up status meetings, status meetings dressed up as "grooming" and "planning" where the only real (non)decision that's being made is how many "story points" should be assigned.

I was the subject of one of Stanton's photos. While I admired his site at the time and what seemed like a commitment to free speech, I've since watched him sell out when it suits him.

HONY is a sandboxed version of New York and New Yorkers, and the political stands Stanton takes are cheap shots. He is more bond salesman than reporter. I'd be happy to see his credibility in a million little pieces.

Arch gives you a PAX/Grsecurity kernel which makes your system orders of magnitude less insecure than what CentOS gives you. You can use Grsecurity RSBAC features if you need access controls. In terms of security though, Fedora is getting better since it is defaulting to hardened packages but no hardened kernel.
There's a lot of academic hand-wringing about what makes real REST... but not one complete example of which I am aware. I think we're past the brink of just giving up on dogmatic RESTfulness and ought just apply the term to any reasonably sane JSON RPC-style API with out-of-band documentation for humans.
My point is that with Bitcoin I can opt-out of the overpriced fraud protection racket that is my credit card. This allows transactions to take place that could not take place otherwise. It's a feature, not a bug.

> Request to Book commits you to a booking

It doesn't quite commit to you to a booking: at any point before the host accepts the request, you can cancel the request penalty-free [1]. So if you find something better in the meantime and change your mind on the AirBnB place, you can just cancel. It is however a bit risky, since there's always a chance that the host will accept RIGHT as you were about to go cancel. And having two requests outstanding bears the risk that you'll get unlucky, and they'll both accept so close together that you have no time to cancel the other one.

Hey John! I agree. My email address's been the same since 1996 thanks to pobox.

I remember a pobox faq back then to the effect of "how do I know you'll still be around?" IIRC it asked, rhetorically, how do you know your bank will still be around?

Well guess what? New Brunswick Savings Bank got swallowed up by bigger and bigger players since then. But pobox has stayed the same. It's been so reliably the same I haven't even bothered to get a vanity domain.

I did once use FastMail too but their circa-2007 web interface was too clunky and I dropped them for that one that reads your emails...
I do the exact same thing. Keeping one at home, one at work, and one in the bag means one less thing to worry about leaving behind/not having when you need it.

There is no analogue in the Constitution because the Constitution enumerates the specific powers granted to the Federal Government. Drug prohibition is not one of them, and the entire Federal war on drugs is held up by the lynch-pin supreme court case Wickard v Filburn... where the Supreme Court decided that "interstate commerce" applies to goods literally not involved in any commerce whatsoever.

in general each motor have their own prop. The 2 motors per prop is just an obvious way to increase redundancy in any other schema, and it works nice in the sense that electric motors are very easily share the same shaft.

The most obvious way to place more props is the one which even NASA recently recognized benefits of (like increased lift) - http://www.nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/Features/leaptech.html . Yet that is just a start. Many props driven by smaller electric engines open a lot of other design possibilities - like easy tilting which easily brings us to VTOL - http://nextbigfuture.com/2014/08/nasa-research-shows-hybrid-.... Again NASA is very simplistic and primitive in their approach. The multi-wing designs along the Scaled Composites' ones may be more suitable here especially if cross-bred with typical octo-copter. The smaller props also open the possibility of ducts where is a bigger duct for one big prop is subject to very high loads and as result is very heavy and expensive and pretty much non-starter as a result. Ducting improves trust at low speed and decrease noise - both are big advantages for smaller planes.
You're not the owner of your data if you farm out storage/serving of that data or transmit it with weak/no encryption.

You could pay someone to store and manage your data, and have contracts with them to prevent them from sharing the data. But you better be sure that data is stored at the 3rd party encrypted where you hold the keys, otherwise those contracts are meaningless to the government who can demand access to your data in secret if they choose.

The way forward I can see is for us all to host servers run from one's own home and with replicas stored at trusted friend's and family's houses in case of disaster. New protocols would need to be invented to replace things like email though, it would require quite an upheaval.
What's it developed in? C++ and Qt? I found it pretty fast, but it was buggy (and for some reason jumped to the same file/line number) on the goto definition selection. Maybe indexing wasn't complete. But it's really snappy!
This is actually true. But the numbers don't tell the entire story. Officials are trained to be biased towards a major yard line on change of possessions. Starting at a major line n these instances is insignificant to the drive. The upside being it is one less series where a measurement would ever be required.

It is a trade off of game flow (less measurements) vs a small inaccuracy where it doesn't matter.

Take a notice next game. A punt always gets spotted on a major yardline where possible. A punt inside the 10 of course would not be possible. Rounding from the 2 to the 5 would have a huge impact. Or if it lands and comes to rest directly between two major lines.

What’s the Secret to Joining the “Rich-Country” Club?
Wickard v. Filburn isn't the lynch-pin of the Federal war on drugs. It's a ridiculous case, but it's also a narrow one: does the Commerce Clause cover marijuana grown for personal use. That is obviously not interstate commerce within any sensible definition of the concept.

However, the drug trade in general is archetypal interstate commerce. Almost nobody grows and processes their own weed or their own cocaine. It all happens through cross-border commercial transactions.
Very likely they're not even going to be around under that name by the time you file your suit, but instead operating under a different name. Good luck finding them in Shenzhen in order to collect.
Because people like reinventing the wheel?
They are most likely diversifying (or have done so by now). Which means every year the USG allows them to maintain their monopoly on pot and other drugs just makes the cartels stronger.

RE your side note - in the preface to a study on ethnic politics in America, the authors of the study explain why they use the demographic terms they do. Latino, Asian-American, and black. Their data showed that there was a 1.1% difference of preference in Americans of African descent between being identified as black or African American. They also pointed out that black Americans have been discriminated based on their color, rather than their nationality throughout all of American history, and that's unique to blacks, and is the best identifier for that culture group/identity.

The study is in "Can We All Get Along", by McClain and Stewart. Really interesting book that does a good job of making you think.
>Obviously, there must also be no way for any person to social engineer an Apple Care representative over the phone to get DEP lifted from a device, and this is why Apple Care can't do that, period.
