So Automattic, maker of the largest open source PHP CMS in the world has thrown out PHP in favor of node.js for their own site. And the announcement has nothing about where this leaves wordpress.org, the open source PHP CMS that powers 25% of the web.

If they're leading by example, we should ditch WordPress.org and PHP in favor of node.js web apps and frameworks too, since it's the way of the future?

I happen to wholeheartedly agree. It's just that the developers of the 40,000 plugins who have bet their farms on PHP WordPress might at least want a clearer indication of what exactly is happening here.

The only thing I could find about where this leaves wordpress.org is buried in this wired article:

http://www.wired.com/2015/11/wordpress-com-gets-a-new-face-a...

"For the backend code, the team used the popular server-side JavaScript platform Node.js. For users who host their own version of WordPress, Automattic will host the Node.js portion of the code on their own server, with which the Jetpack plugin will communicate, freeing up web hosts from having to support Node.js."
So should it not have been tagged solely for code-signing? x509 has a field for intended usage.

Okay I'll bite, what's wrong with writing nginx to go with XML?

XML is easily translatable to JSON, so... there's that.
The main thing I'd say is that either the quality of "creativity" is something that effectively duplicates (or even extends) the human notion of creativity or it's something arbitrary that there could be a way for us to care about.

Even if someone formulated an apparently human-independent mathematical statement of "interesting", you would still the human judgment that this was credible.

This is a very Kurzweil-esque look at computing, even though narrowly focused at Apple. Extrapolating exponential progress yields some interesting predictions.
You make a valid point, but I don't think the example I responded to falls under an example of unfair pressure.
Very interesting and well done analysis. The liqprefs change the returns for the investors at the top of the distribution stack dramatically, especially in less than stellar outcomes. But the desire to race to unicorn status on the part of founders may be setting up the company for such an outcome. In which case both employees and investors lower in the stack are likely to get screwed most of the time.

And the killer insight is at the end - this means that accelerators are then incentivized to raise huge funds so they can play in the big boy leagues at the top of the distribution stack.

Insightful post.

Former NOAA researcher comments on whistleblower allegations
I don't think they would make sense for production use.

Maybe instead Apple could do a commercial GUI on top of a "proper" Linux core.

Now the production stuff that runs on Linux anyway, sorta kinda works on mac for local development most of the time, with Homebrew etc.. (Homebrew is great, I just installed ag today, I think it even compiled it from source)

There aren't much real alternatives to Linux for servers, but there are to macs for desktop. Business people are using Windows anyway, and technical people could switch to Linux if they can forgo Office. They would need professional Linux support though.

Or then Apple could help create a good package system.
I'm not sure why others are unimpressed with this article -- I thought it had one simple point to make. And my project has precisely this problem: people spend lots of time getting their environments set up and it is not reproducable.

Obviously, my project needs to be fixed. This article points out that Docker is one way of doing that.
Ya, I was just gonna post this. Scala has more powerful generics and an eco-system of, oh I don't know, every java library ever created. It's also got the Play framework and Akka. When it comes to rationally planned web development, Swift is very low on the totem pole and a bunch of cute language features aren't gonna change that.

So your results demonstrate that directed dependency labeling works better with vectors learned from PoS-tagged words than with PoS-tagged vectors (learned from untagged words)? And if so, why are you sure you are not overfitting on the corpus or that the "unseen" (in your case: label +) word (pairs) issues will in the end do more harm than what you gain when using this approach on truly independent data/text?

EDIT: Sorry, this question above is probably too convoluted to understand. As I understand, the evaluation of the UAS in the paper was made by letting the parser use the gold PoS labels from the UD treebank (plus either word embeddings). But what would happen if the PoS labels for evaluating the dependency parser came from a PoS tagger, as would be the case when working on unseen data? I might imagine that "plain" embeddings could maybe produce a better UAS in that case, because they are not as "overfitted" as the "enriched" embeddings (as those are derived from the PoS-tagger labeled words in the first place).
The full phrase is actually:

Newtonsoft.Json with dynamics is really good at it in the .NET world. I usually use actual typed objects, but the DLR has enabled some cool stuff concerning dynamic input type things.
> XML is easily translatable to JSON

Not really. XML is a document markup language, where order is important. JSON is a serialization format, and is a bit more bare-boned. For example, how would you transfer this XML to json, and back to XML?

<foo bar="baz"><bork>foo1</bork><bork>foo2</bork></foo>
Certainly. But in this case it makes sense to reorder the dataset by descending physical volume, because the nearly constant multiplier between the steps becomes apparent.
It's worth noting, that if you have SSH access that includes filesystem access, you can use that as a git remote target, without the need for a GUI, if it's for personal projects.

I've done precisely that for personal projects in the past, as well as for a couple small teams as an intermediate step towards hosted git. I support GH mainly because they are supporting open-source... it's indirect, but I support the model.
One justification for space exploration is to eventually colonize space as a means of decentralization.

It's still far off in the future, but we have to take one step at a time. One of those steps will be sending people on a mission there with a return ticket, eventually establish a continuously manned research base etc. etc.

So there still may be some utility in the long run.

Of course there might be other approaches to bootstrap space colonization, such as the idea of mining asteroids in orbit and maybe sending people up there in the process.
Wodpress.org and PHP won't go away anytime soon, because of the whole community and plugins.

Wordpress' popularity comes from the plugins, and the WP devs. won't expect plugin authors to rewrite everything into node.js, that just won't happen anytime soon.

Although it would be interesting to see how this will affect the client side code of WordPress. React can be interfaced with any back-end.
People often forget the full saying is "Jack of all trades, master of none,

Does SAP – or Oracle – have product/market fit?
Marc Andreessen says:
"You can always feel when product/market fit isn't happening. The customers aren't quite getting value out of the product, word of mouth isn't spreading, usage isn't growing that fast, press reviews are kind of "blah", the sales cycle takes too long, and lots of deals never close."
Yet, if you survey 100 SAP - or Oracle - customers, 99 will behave exactly like that; they don't even like the product; end-users hate them; there are no killer features; etc etc etc.

How can I solve this mental conundrum?
I completely disagree with the assumption that Docker will make life simpler here.

First, question is, what are you optimizing?
Are you optimizing on-boarding for new engineers? How many new engineers do you get a month?

Let's say you get 2 new engineers a month. Getting the Docker up and running, setting it up so new engineers can use it easily is also cost, that also takes time.

I don't think that evens out until you really need to set up 10-12 new engineers every month.

This post also skips the part where boot-2-docker fails to load and you need to restart VirtualMachine and a lot of other problems with Docker that you will encounter LONG after the initial `bundle install` finished and everything is set up on a single machine.

While back we had the same problem and we used the same scripts we run in production only on Vagrant and we distribute that image

http://avi.io/blog/2014/12/26/ruby-and-rails-development-env...

Docker has a lot of advantages, however, I have yet to see a single company that stuck with the initial promise of a reproducible dev environment on Docker (Please correct me if I'm wrong here).

Bumping into the same situation I would select one of the following

1. Document with all the steps (Wiki)
2. Chef (same as runs in production) on top of Vagrant

I would live Docker completely out of this, it will introduce more complexity over time than the initial setup process.

Nothing will replace good docs and great onboarding culture in my book
This is a case for automation or documentation, not specifically docker. Could use anything including a shell script to get this env setup properly. Picking docker means they also have to understand how to manage developing within a docker lifecycle.

Even a wiki page would be sufficient as in developer envs, some understanding of what is being done and why is generally useful.
I'd say that it simply has to execute something coming from Java code. Which both Dalvik and ART do.

I think claiming that Dalvik VM and JVM are so different when they both run stuff coming from Java is just trying to split hairs.
Convox engineer here. I do agree this is ultimately a people problem.

However I think there is a large technology aspect to it also.

I often think about how Rails changed problems like this.

Before Rails we were all writing bespoke PHP websites. I remember it taking ages to get up to speed with code bases on a new job.

After Rails we shared a lot of common language and understanding. I have a good idea of how to run tests and where to put changes. I also have a universe of knowledge to tap into on Stack Overflow.

In a world with more shared conventions beyond Rails, Janelle has more than her direct team to help her with problems.

She has tools that help her pinpoint the problem. For example, docker-compose offers really understandable error messages around missing environment variables, vs an app silently breaking.

She also has a community that can also help her with questions. Just today I found an excellent Docker / Django quickstart guide that has hidden away a ton of minutia about getting a Django project running on my computer.

In US public schools, teachers are graded against hard milestones. If the kids in your classroom do not demonstrate "mastery" of this set of material, then you are a horrible teacher.

Never mind if a child comes in severely behind in reading or math skills and you spend much of the year working to improve those skills. Most teachers actually can't, now, because their state mandates exactly how they will progress through the curriculum. Schools require teachers to file lesson plans. Don't follow the exact content of that lesson plan on a given day, because you find you need to cover something in more detail or cover something the kids already should know, but don't? You might be formally reprimanded if your administration finds out.

My own mother, a career high school economics, accounting, and high-risk (meaning kids whose parents were extremely poor/in jail/other combinations of bad home situations) teacher, always said, "I am here to teach kids, not subjects."
I've seen a video of a 2D minecraft implemented in minecraft. Minecraft all the way down...
I think the way forward would be for WordPress hosting to come with a version of node.js with standard packages which plugins can use, in combination with the new REST API.

So even if we would move past PHP we wouldn't move past WordPress, its database, and the basic ways it stores and describes information. No need to reinvent that wheel if it works well for your site or product.

They're using the Java language. Therefore, something which interprets bytecode coming from it is a java virtual machine. It's that simple.
I can't tell if you're trying to say that only proven ideas deserve investment or something else. Care to clarify what your point is here?
That is what I mean about people being inconsistent.

The ideas are much older than Scala, JavaScript, and many of the people commenting in this discussion. Believe it or not, both terms date back to the late 1970s.

Scala got it right. JavaScript got it wrong. And polyglots like me have to suffer with having to sort out who means what, where, on what platform.

I think a lot of the people who have had identify fraud happen to them would say their life has been ruined. This seems like a silly argument on whether or not their lives have been "really ruined" or not when we get the point. Yes, it is a phrase, maybe it is overused, but does it really matter?

More importantly, Why was the new dev given a laptop without the crucial pieces already installed. Janelle shouldn't have had to install docker and Joe shouldn't have had to install bundler or postgres or any of the other things.

Both companies had broken onboarding processes. Docker just happened to make the effects of the broken process less annoying for Janelle.
Is there any innovation in the fashion industry? Or just . . . changing fashion?
I'm not convinced there is a solution to the problem. We will always struggle to bootstrap our environment, this is a symptom of trying to reproduce production environments on different targets. In the past I've been on a team that has tried:

* Invested a lot of work getting a set of services to run on our dev desktops (a 'onebox') and it was very painful. Lots of useless configuration, adding new services is hard and it doesn't scale well. Some external dependencies can't be run locally.
* Using a 'integration test' stack that you could hit from your desktop, but it was stateful and shared by 10 developers -- eventually causing us to have to block each other.
* We actually built a simulation to run our tests in, it simply replaced the networking layer of our external clients with a in-memory queue; it introduced more bugs because of implicit ordering and subtle differences from production.

Production is the only easy environment, because the configuration and code is immutable there. Testing and development are too nuanced, stateful and often require lots of mutation within individual binaries/services.

From all my experiences so far, just running a test stack of services was the easiest. SSH tunnels were important too, for things like service discovery.
Ahmed demands $15m compensation and written apology for clock arrest
Mmm, the HN affluent community with 820 credit scores and dual-six figure incomes probably won't see much value from this as it stands. But, I see it as jumping point - one more layer of transparency that Google can potentially offer us. Previously, shopping around for car insurance was a pain. Now, I don't have to deal with some guy who's making commission (which isn't bad) on some products but not others (which is bad). I can go to Geico, Progressive and a few other sites-- immediately get quotes-- compare them, and in under 30 minutes I'll have a car insured. Every step of the process was transparent, and I didn't have to deal with a salesman.

My parents walked my sister and brother-in-law through the process of getting a mortgage underwritten for their condo as a wedding gift. It involved so much BS such as documentation of employment despite the fact that my father has been receiving faculty checks from the same institution in Cambridge direct-deposited to same bank for more than two decades. Hopefully Google will "Geico" this up and by the time I decide to purchase a condo or home, I don't have to deal with the same tedium that they did.

That being said, I hold my personal money at a credit union (Alliant, it's the New INGDirect![1]) because hey, I'd rather support them than Bank of America. The business house bank is with a local bank, again, because my co-partners and I would much rather keep a balance with a small-ish business rather than a conglomerate who exploits poor people and college kids with ridiculous compound overdraft fees.

[1] https://www.alliantcreditunion.com/ Post CapitalOne360, INGDirect has been on a steady decline. I'm now a happy customer. If you happen to be :cough: a former employee of any of the companies within the co-op, you can make an account. Support them or your local CU.
In other words, the student (“Bobby”) understands the subject, understands the gist of the question, and makes an answer which demonstrates that understanding, but the question is ambiguously/confusingly worded, such that “it’s in the hundreds place” doesn’t fully satisfy the teacher’s pedantic expectation of a “right” answer. Thus the teacher needs to tell the student he is wrong and ask leading questions until the student guesses his way into “correctness” and hopefully eventually memorizes the specific pattern desired by the teacher, like a trained dog going through a list of tricks to get to the treat (“no I said lie down, and you are merely sitting”).

Spending time on the difference between the phrases “a 5 in the hundreds place” vs “5 hundred”, when both the student and the teacher understand them to mean the same thing is a waste of people’s focus. Instead the student could be doing something much more interesting, such as examining what the digits would mean in a base twelve system, discussing how a number is transformed when multiplying/dividing by ten, learning what happens to the digits in higher places when working with modular arithmetic, learning how to use an abacus to keep track of the place values, or developing an algorithm to transform back and forth between explicit counters like pebbles in a dish and their written decimal representations, etc. etc.

On the other hand, the question asked of droopybuns’s daughter is sort of interesting from a philosophy/sociology/pedagogy point of view. There’s not really much math content in it, but getting students to think about the ways the social context shapes expectations about right answers and effective ways to navigate a society full of bureaucrats with sticks up their asses is definitely worthy of discussion.

Can you cite any references to the Common Core Standards that would indicate that they are at fault for the problems you indicate?
