It does actually make a fair amount of sense. Go already has:

* Fast compilation
* Very very easy cross-compilation
* A pretty good garbage collector
* A huge library of easy-to-use libraries (they don't suffer from StringCollectorBeanFactoryProxy-syndrome)
* Good concurrency support

Makes sense if you ask me.
Any particular positions, or is this one of those "you'll know if you're able" kind of things?
If you read the article, you would see that the city/county is offering to buy the trailer park for $39 million.
I'll bite.

1. Yslow gives the main page a Grade D. I only ran the test AFTER I visited and it 'felt' slow. If you managed to get first time visits, this would most likely turn users away.

2. I don't see any analytics on the site. Without analytics, you have a limited picture of who does visit, and where they come from, possibly what they have done. Server logs handle a little of this, but nothing beats analytics.

3. I'm in Georgia. Thats not 'new york, texas or california'. You have nothing to offer me if I visited. So, you ask why this hasn't gotten traction? Because you have limited an already limited set of forums even more. A subset of a subset, if you will.

4. Browser forward/back behave oddly. Work down into a city, then hit the back button, and you don't actually go up a level, you leave the site.

5. City sorting is also odd. Spaces are a relevant char. Sanderson and Sandia should not be between San Benito and San Diego
I'm afraid sarcasm is often lost on our more zealous comrades.

They were distributing a binary signed with their enterprise certificate and suggesting that user re-signs it. Additionally, flux.beta contains some auto-generated iOS project code, which is totally irrelevant. So it seems like the author himself does not quite understand what he was doing. It also makes sense that Apple took it down: it is against EULA to (publicly) distribute binaries signed with enterprise certificate.

Some people are slow on the uptake and failing to understand the history and playing politics with me. Look, I'm not objecting to the supply chain and materials requirements planning. Fine with me.

And my suggestion, I thought clear enough, was that the
purpose of the article was likely
just to remind some people
with desires for big time
fireworks about the
old accounting lapses.

I'm not the only one: Notice
the crucial, relevant line in
The Sum of All Fears --
this accounting has been
known for a long time.

In particular some of the
recent threats are against
not just US interests but
against the US itself, indeed,
where I live. So, sure I
like the purpose of the article.

Agreed. Heck, I need to work on not being offended so easily. As someone once said (paraphrased):

"We all have existential fears; that if you do or permit certain things, bad stuff will happen. If the center doesn't hold, we'll have chaos. If you don't have fears like that, then you don't have a conscience, and nothing personal but I'll lock my doors when you're around.When we don't recognize our own existential fears, then we assume that our viewpoint is identical to objective fact. This is not to say that morality is relative, but simply that the map isn't the territory."

A lot of political tribalism is triggering, or playing off of, existential fear responses. The more sophisticated and malevolent actors in this seek to trigger the existential fear response in their opponents enough to cause a violent backlash while staying just on this side of the law themselves, so that they point at their opponents and claim "they started it!".

Generally this kind of behavior is called bullying, and ought to stop. And while calls for a more civil discourse are certainly warranted, it is not enough. People need to gather their resolve and learn to distinguish between someone who is actually an existential threat and someone who is just trying to trigger you.
holier-than-thou moral outrage? He or she is just expressing an opinion that happens to differ from yours.

As far as I know, people working on bugzilla have github based login on their radar. Don't ask me for a roadmap though, but people hanging out in #bmo on irc.mozilla.org should be able to fill in details.

> justify mass immigration of Muslim economic migrants--at least some of whom we now know were involved in the horrific attack on Paris

Two out of ~1 million. Two that were NOT actually part of those refugees, but instead just pretended to be refugees - perhaps because it made getting to France _just a little_ easier or perhaps even to incite hatred against the refugees which will then make for a wonderful group to recruit from.
Seems a good option for a development machine. I am looking for my next. Curious what others think of this.
I'm interested in thinking through several examples on this subject.

One example that comes to mind with me is the campaign by many university student groups across the country to encourage endowments to divest from fossil fuel companies. For example: http://www.fossilfreeuc.org/ http://www.fossilfreemit.org/ . The the vocal minority on this subject is very strongly in favor of their opinion (divestment), whereas the larger mass of students mostly doesn't care about the issue or perhaps leans to not divesting but only slightly.

It is interesting to consider the more detailed results of this where people don't have 0 cost acquiescence, for example if people really wanted some non-kosher soda it would still exist in the marketplace.

It is also interesting how this phenomena occurs in voting schemes where you have a fixed number of voting points to distribute over all issues up for consideration. In such systems people can have their minority issues more strongly represented.
The main criticism is that Dean Spellman referred to a marginalized student as "not fitting the [Claremont Mckenna] mold". This is harmful. It is more than a poor choice of words. She should have apologized and done some training.

But the students are young and have no where else to direct their frustration. I hope Spellman can land on her feet. And I hope minority students can feel less marginalized on campus.
Not sure what you mean by "web scrapper" than, but if you just need something to download web pages (in addition to parsing HTML), then Requests.jl covers it pretty well.

IIUC from GitHub page, AWS.jl has most API implemented, just not thoroughly tested. So it's not really mature or robust, but from my experience with packages at the same stage of development it should be pretty usable for a scientist who "just wants to get shit done".

I totally share your concern regarding marketing solely for scientists, though.
AWS is clearly dominant right now, as your links show. What I'm disagreeing with is the idea that it will be dominant in the future.

On the other hand, who's to say they won't start offering containers on bare-metal and keep their lead?

That's the latter part "build an open source alternative as good" that might be problematic due to the patent (then again, if it was obvious somebody should have built it BEFORE they did and thus have prior art).

But the first part, "because we like/want the functionality" still holds whether there's a patent or not. If there's no alternative, either because nobody bothered, or because the software is patented, then people will still use it, regardless if it's proprietary or not.

Photoshop, the other example I gave, also has tons of patents, proudly listed on their "About" windows.

Bootstrapping ftw.
Mostly, yes, but there are some features that are still missing:

`ied publish` and `ied version` is coming next week. I'm also thinking of adding scoped modules, but I'm not sure about that yet.

Here is what the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has to say about the NUMEC affair:
"Time for real transparency. It's fair to ask, in view of the other losses in the US nuclear weapons complex, why the CIA and others singled out NUMEC for grave suspicion as the source for Israeli bomb-grade uranium. In brief, the reasons are these: NUMEC's unexplained losses were a significantly larger proportion of its throughput of highly enriched uranium than was the case for other firms that dealt with nuclear materials. Sloppy accounting and lax security made the plant easy to rob without detection. NUMEC had commercial relationships with Israel’s defense and nuclear establishments and regularly made sizeable nuclear shipments to Israel, which at that time were not checked by the AEC. NUMEC’s owners and executives had extremely close ties to Israel, including to high Israeli intelligence and nuclear officials. Israel had strong motives to obtain the highly enriched uranium before it was producing enough plutonium for weapons. High-level Israeli intelligence operatives visited the NUMEC plant. Israeli intelligence organizations were used to running logistically complicated, risky operations to support nuclear weapons development, and it would have been very much out of character for them to pass up an opportunity like this. On top of all this, records show the CIA believed its 1968 environmental sample taken in Israel evidenced an enrichment level unique to Portsmouth."

>f.lux seems to be an exception to this.

Only developers or computer nerds even know about flux in the first place.

Agreed. We're still all waiting for the micropayment revolution.
It's going to take quite a while before the restaurant waiters and dish washers, house cleaners, plumbers and gardeners of the valley will be replaced by machines though.
Yeah, but when people do a google search for IED, what are they going to find?

I'd worry less about offending someone because they had to type it, and more about SEO. I'd stick with things that don't have pictures of gore and destruction on the first page of search results.

So, that's a really good reason to not.

Also, your response was shitty... You specifically state that you chose IED because it's "easy to type"... but when someone says "Hey, that's what we call bombs that insurgents use to kill people with", you reply "Yeah, but the alternative is an acronym used by JP Morgan... People getting offended by me naming something after a way to kill people are being over the top". If "IED" happened to actually mean something, fine, make a case... but it isn't actually easier to type than anything else... If you want that, name it ASD, which shouldn't have any conflicts, as the top google search result is Anchorage School District... and I couldn't find any conflicting package names.

I get it, people are constantly picking on things and suggesting that they need to be more PC... but in this case, there is absolutely NO reason for you to stick with the name IED... and several reasons to change it (SEO, offensiveness, typability).

Also, good news for german companies... The news has started using different acronyms for ISIS... I've seen IS and ISIL in regards to the paris bombings, as they're more true to the literal translation.
R is for the stats part of the project. It does just that. I'd never implement a full system in it, but it does the stats bit fantastically.
A key difference:

You were employed by a private party. The muzzled scientists were employed by the citizens of Canada.

To make your example comparable, you would have been employed by an attorney on behalf of the attorney's client, and then the information you found would have been withheld from the client who was paying for it. I'm not saying that doesn't happen, but it would be a breach of ethics on the part of the attorney to do so. Just as, in this case, it was a breach of ethics for the Canadian government to force scientists to withhold information from the people of Canada.
It can definitely process a million uncached rows in well under a second :P Have you used Postgres recently?
Four days or four years? The first sentence suggests it has been four days. And then later in the comment it says "four years." Which is it?

My guess is that it's supposed say be four days in both places.

That’s not even part of the discussion, as uber isn’t trying to change that.

Fact is, uber isn’t disrupting anything.

Fact is, there were uber-competitors in Europe like mytaxi, some of which even existed before uber did. Exactly same business model.

The issue isn’t that these companies never get started in europe – because they do – the issue is that these companies expand slower than their US competitors, and therefore lose in this extremely volatile market.

But if the market crashes, these companies can continue to exist, while many of their US competitors would crash, too.

How about asking them to behave like their role models? I cannot imagine MLK refusing to talk to the media, or his follower breaking into tears because someone said something they didn't like.

Minor point regarding "Facebook's infrastructure team once referred to this as the "negawatt"".

Well, last time I posted something like this I think I made it sound way too narrow, so I'm trying overly broad this time, to get people who are interested to get in touch, because even if we don't have anything for them at this very moment, we might in the near future.

To narrow down, what we're looking for in the immediate future, anybody with interest in core language development, compilers, tool chain support, etc. Additionally, we will probably be hiring for our applications development team very soon, so if you're interested in data science, stats, etc. and like working with people on solving their challenging problems, please do reach out as well.
Hmm, complicated.

I don't get the wanting to be anti-social bit, but I do get the part about projects that are sometimes too much about the social bit. Or rather, the stress that can create.
I felt some of this at times, namely the idea of a project became that it must absorb all contributions, and trying to not offend people while trying to mediate that.

This is exactly what a project shouldn't do, and in many cases, it's a giant challenge.

OTOH, much of what spawned good OSS was people working together across company boundaries, and that means letting up a bit to let other people get their ideas in, even if those ideas aren't the ideas you neccessarily feel are the most important.

It's a hard balance.

I do like socializing with people I meet through OSS projects, but it can be hard to close the door and say "this code isn't good enough" and "I'm not interested in this" without being percieved as anti-social, or greatly overcommunicating to avoid percieved slights.

I do agree with one thing I did read about 0mq though, which was it wants to merge things first, and break things. I prefer more to see software that is designed and strictly looked after. The social element is definitely not first, but it sound be fun.

The problem is, with a lot of people in the game and not monetarily invested (this is free, etc), people can get their feelings hitched to the project more than they ordinarily should, if it was a business transaction -- they feel their price for spreading things or contributing should be that the big social element takes over and everybody gets their code in... which is anti-quality in the long run.

Again, balance -- and really only you get to feel this when things start getting really busy.

I do believe software can be finished though. If you're just continuing it to keep the community around, I think that's when you don't have a purpose. But that doesn't really happen unless you're doing it for fun (like a game) - and if so, great!

But yeah, the first goal of OSS isn't just to collaborate for the sake thereof. It should be for the purpose, and you can still enjoy the heck out of the collaboration part.
The initial set of dependencies is being installed via npm, the it installs its own dependencies via ied if told so: https://github.com/alexanderGugel/ied#installation

This is a "cool" feature during development, since it's a nice proof of concept.

Originally I checked in the node_modules directory, but then reddit was shitting on me as usual (yes, you shouldn't check in node_modules in an actual app, but this is PACKAGE MANAGER!). As far as I know, npm has also its own dependencies check in + a ton of packages as tarballs for tests, so I might do that later.
I agree very much. Giving any old app access to the device’s gamma settings sounds like a recipe for mayhem. I know the Flux guys don’t like this, but I think this app needs to be Sherlock’ed.
This is great news for Julia!

As a long time Python user, I disagree with the insinuation of competition between the two communities. In fact, I've met all of the core developers of Julia and of the major Python data science projects, and they see each other as fellows and colleagues!

For example, last year at PyData NYC, Stefan Karpinski gave the following talk, titled 'Julia + Python = \N{heavy black heart}'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsjANO10KgM

This past week, at PyData NYC, Stefan Karpinksi also shared the stage with Andy Müller (scikit-learn) and Jared Lander (author of R for everyone) to discuss the future of machine learning with the audience and addressed how the various tools, languages and communities fit together.

In fact, most people may not realise, but Julia, Jupyter, IPython, numpy, pandas, matplotlib, &c. are all fiscally sponsored projects of the same 501(c)3 non-profit, NumFOCUS (which is the organisation that also runs the PyData conference series)!

http://numfocus.org/projects/index.html
Seconded. I always find it hard at conferences to find people who are genuinely interested in stuff that I care about.
Maybe I'm just a sociopathic misanthrope, but I don't care if the motives are humanitarian, charitable, full of empathy, and otherwise warm-fuzzy-non-profit-y.

So this criticism seems utterly irrelevant.
It's useful to bucket these in magnitudes for the ability to run both layout and rendering. D3 is great up to ~5000 elements, sigma is probably the best open source and reaches up to ~50K (?). And, shameless plug, we've focused on bigger ones, and regularly do 1MM :) (See PyGraphistry link above.)

For smaller graphs, the focus is generally more on styling, like SVG, so D3 is probably better.

Larger graphs are used in analytic workloads like machine learning, network operations, etc. The emphasis is more on the ability to see big graphs (requiring smart rendering and layout), bind algorithm results to the visual encoding, and drill down. D3 and pure rendering libraries become a bit too low-level and clunky at this point.
This is why developers should try to avoid introducing dependencies. Not at all costs, of course, but typical project in JavaScript, Go, Ruby, or Python has way, way too many dependencies, while little of them have any significant benefit.
Something can be third-party, but not cross-site. Google Analytics is one of those.
>That too was known for ages, and still no light changing apps for it like flux

How is Joseph Programmer von Notasleepscientist supposed to know that a blue-light dimming filter is something that he might want before he sees the effect in action? I'll give some credit to f.lux for popularizing the idea, but once the idea is out there, there are only two ways you can implement it: postprocessing in software, or postprocessing in the CLUT. You wouldn't need to know anything about how f.lux works to come up with one of them yourself, once you are aware of the idea.
"Lisp" is easier on readers. If he said "s-expression language", I wouldn't immediately have a feel for the level of abstraction he was aiming for (webasm has an s-expression representation but is low level).
