This is a split responsibility between the OS vendor and the customer, just as with a trusted environment that's not backed by crypto/TPM.

The normal benefits of frequently releasing code are at play here, just at the OS/kernel level instead of a webapp. Testing can be completed against the different channels of CoreOS in staging environments as well. It's recommended to run some beta machines mixed into a fleet of stable machines to catch any issues specific to your environment.

A unique feature of CoreOS is that it ships an upstream kernel that doesn't have tons of backports and bugfixes. This means the upstream testing/performance infrastructure is leveraged for more visibility into the release.

Stuff like this is fascinating to me. I'm by no means an expert in writing code, I'm very much a beginner, but the creative potential that is there has always drawn me in.

If one was going to learn OOP correctly in Java (or Python) from the beginning, where would be a good place to start? Are there any textbooks or good websites for this?

Giving away all of your money is not necessarily good for everyone else. For example, giving billions to promote "teaching the controversy", or iPad literacy or Morris dancing in schools would alter the curriculum in ways that some people would (rightly) disagree with.

What it means from a legal standpoint is that Apple is bound by the same terms as everybody else.

The way it works is this: Apple is making Swift available to you (and others) under Apache 2.0. You send in some changes, which you make available to Apple (and others) under Apache 2.0. Everyone is on equal footing, and Apple can't relicense it to someone else on terms of their choosing that involve, for example, neutering the patent grant's self-destruct clause.

This was the default way that open source worked for years, before people started cargo-culting the (totally unnecessary) CLA process into their projects.

What it means from a practical standpoint, though, is that the project is easier to contribute to, what with the impedance imposed by a CLA process being, you know, non-existent.

I agree - although I thought this when I saw the pebble time round - combine that with the scrolling from pre-touch ipods and you have something much more tactical, and prettier.

But, the iWatch is more fashion than function, so I'm not surprised it's stalled. v2 or v3 might pose some more appealing features, but for now i'm iWatchless, and i'm totally fine with that.

I think it would be really interesting to understand exactly why Julia underperforms LuaJIT on some benchmarks. I'm pretty skeptical that Julia loses to LuaJIT uniformly; I suspect it depends on the benchmark taking advantage of LuaJIT's superior discovery of run-time type information.
For those of you in this field...how influential is the NYFed trying out (and apparently being satisfied with) Julia to other government agencies, computational economists, and/or academics? Is it "OS X is Unix/BSD-based" influential, or "Whitehouse.gov uses Drupal [1]" influential?

Node.js made server side Javascript a reality, but it was done by outsiders using Google's V8 engine rather than by Google itself. What would be wrong with server side Swift being similarly pushed by a 3rd party?
It's not uncommon to find students going through the motions in a university department. Particularly in technical fields where children are led to believe that they "should study X when they get to college." With CS and IT and the current economy that's even more the case, and so the people around you are probably doing the minimum to keep their parents off their back and to feel that they're doing what people say they should be doing.

Those other people have more influence in the "what you should be doing" than you do. So the best option is to find people who share your passions and surround yourself with them...find your tribe rather than trying to change one that's not right for you.

Good luck.

Chennaite here. Large parts of the city are submerged and a lot of phone networks and lines are down. The rains have stopped for now, though, so the situation can only get better until they start again.
I assume smart watches are still way too early in their development life-cycle to analyze whether or not they are useful as a product. Remember the original iPhone? It didn't have the app store. The first day I got my iPhone 6, I didn't have an internet connection and couldn't connect to anything. It felt almost useless. I think the difference with smart watches is that we already have the power/versatility of smart phones, in effect, we have already realized their great potential. We didn't have this standard when getting the first iPhone to compare it to. It's possible watches will have some type of evolution that is as great (but probably less) from the first iPhone to the 6S.

I don't see myself buying a smart watch anytime soon, but I said the same thing about buying a smartphone years ago.
so yeah, it seems like there's kind of a conflict of interest here. if there's no way for a user to know whether the project opted in to revenue sharing, then how can they trust the project?

in other words, in my view, a project that opts in to revenue sharing with crapware bundlers who are known to sometimes distrubute malware, is behaving unethically.

so now i don't trust filezilla dev's in general, even if i get an package signed by my distro or whatever. very dissapointing. worse still, it makes projects that didn't opt in suspect in my view, simply because they are on sourceforge; if i can't find out whether they opted in, how can i know any project isn't taking kickbacks?

i really hope i'm missing something here....

> The main competitor is Python

I would say that it really is R. Python while a good choice is a fraction of the size of R and R as a domain specific language excels in its own realm.

Using R with RStudio and sticking with Hadley Wickham universe with Functional Programming makes R shine. There is a reason why so many companies invest in R.

As someone maintaining an 18 year old code base, I've long held the same opinions as Rob. I often describe myself as the dumbest person on my team and then go on to say how fortunate it was that I was here first. All my smart people need to dumb stuff down enough that I can understand it. Which means we have a prayer of supporting it.

Obviously I can't force everything through that filter, some problems require complex solutions.

Hacker News is full of really bright people who like the expressiveness of Haskell et al. So it's not surprising that Rob's not going over well here. Just saying that us dumb people really appreciate his efforts.

> Not having to fumble through my bag to pull out my phone on every other notification or to check the time makes the pebble worth it.

How many notifications do you receive that it would come out to be worth it? Seems like cutting down on the notifications would yield a higher return than spending money on a pebble time, or any other smartwatch.
Or to check out books that you didn't remember checking out before!

This is a bad attitude if you want buy-in from large organizations. If you're not worried about that, no problem, but if buy-in is your goal (and I'm sure it's Apple's goal here) you can't just tell potential contributors to "suffer in their jocks."

There is no real explanation for why the pledge is "bad" except for the tired argument that the state is good and private foundations imitating the state are bad. There is no further clarification or explanation; We are supposed to accept this as some sort of given, without pretext or afterthought.

Articles like this are bad.
Perhaps this is where you and I differ, but I can honestly say there is no notification I have received in the last week, even month, that required my immediate attention. Every single one could have waited 5-10 minutes until I was able to pull out my phone. And my phone is generally on the desk in front of me, so I can see the notifications anyways.

I have to ask, what are you doing that it is so important for you to see the notifications immediately? I just have a hard time imagining what notification is so important that you need something vibrating on your wrist to tell you of it.

But a smartphone solves problems. lots of problems. GPS, camera, email... it does a lot. A smartwatch has to solve different problems, or current problems better, to be useful. Whereas right now it's more fashion than function.

I can't comment on Swift as I've not used it but I can say that Go is more than just a language. It's the embodiment of Google's experience running large engineering teams. So many of the decisions in Go--its simplicity, the formatter, the opinionated directory structure, static linking, no special build tools--make life a lot easier for teams. Again, I haven't used Swift, but I don't get the sense that this was one of its design priorities. I've been wrong before though :)
"Why mailing lists are still quite massively popular in 2015?.."

Because (your email client) is always going to be much, much faster and easier to navigate than "some dudes cute forum setup".

Replying to and managing conversations is much easier when you can do it with one or two keystrokes rather than mousey-mousing ten clicks all over the place (and oh their ad tracking js is stalling out again...)

I maintain that all web forums should have a mailing list interface so that you can use the forum without using the web at all ... but I suppose that breaks their revenue model ...

It does correspond with the realities of college. Remember, you're hypothetically borrowing against future earning and, for all the griping about college expense, there are a large number of fields where debt is extremely high but future earnings are also.

Krämer: So it's not the state that determines what is good for the people, but rather the rich want to decide. That's a development that I find really bad. What legitimacy do these people have to decide where massive sums of money will flow?

SPIEGEL: It is their money at the end of the day.

Krämer: In this case, 40 superwealthy people want to decide what their money will be used for. That runs counter to the democratically legitimate state. In the end the billionaires are indulging in hobbies that might be in the common good, but are very personal.

"There’s nothing necessarily wrong with the American system of tax-subsidized charity, of course."

"The critique is that this system affords too much power to the rich, whose decisions may not align with what’s best for society. This is not to say that the government is a paragon of efficacy either, but it risks a lot to depend on a handful of mega-billionaires to be prudent, effective philanthropists."

"What genre of philanthropy will Chan and Zuckerberg invest in? Possibly anything. Their letter Tuesday set two missions, both ambitiously vague: “advancing human potential” and “promoting equality." They mention curing diseases, improving clean energy, promoting entrepreneurship, fighting poverty and hunger, empowering women and minorities, and so on.

The pair do not have a sterling track record when it comes to effective charity. One of their previous efforts, a high-profile $100 million donation to fix the schools in Newark, N.J., has been widely criticized as a failure.

Chan and Zuckerberg write in their announcement that they have learned from their past experiences with philanthropy. For now, they will start with their own community in San Francisco, focusing on education, health and “connecting people.”

Article suggests the Chan Zuckerberg initiative is non-profit, but I'm reading from multiple other sources that is definitely not the case.

Not sure who's right, but if it's not WaPo, then that's some terrible fact checking and kinda invalidates the whole article.

Edit - Chan Zuckerberg is a for profit, that will fund non profits, so WaPo is actually incorrect.
No, it really doesn't. Here is the meat of it:

> Krämer: In this case, 40 superwealthy people want to decide what their money will be used for. That runs counter to the democratically legitimate state. In the end the billionaires are indulging in hobbies that might be in the common good, but are very personal.

Literally, that is all the article has in terms of direct quotes and support. The rest of the article is a discussion and re-hash of other notable charities and comparison of charitable contributions per country, which is a side-tangent.
You take it as a given that the private sector is well-run and wise.

Nobody is saying either solution is great. All it's saying is that: wouldn't it be better to have all this power be in the hands of the democratically chosen, versus billionaires who may or may not be making relevant investments?

edit: Just downvotes, no response?
I'm not sure what's wrong about that though - it's a device that does it's function well, what else was expected from a watch?!
FLOSS gotta FLOSS. I'd be surprised if they didn't open a pull request to change the license.
The explanation is that it's the government (or rather the people) that's subsidizing the charitable work of the billionaires via tax breaks, but giving up any say in how the money is used.
All the software developers on HN consider themselves rich then? To me, working class means you have to work to pay your bills. A lot of people in that category have investments in the stock market and in their home.

The watch is a pretty decent fitness tracker. Certainly better than an iPhone. It's more expensive than a FitBit, though the FitBit Surge is not cheap at $250.

Notifications are actually really nice. My phone has been on silent for months. When I'm at home, I never, ever have my phone with me anymore. Basically wherever I go I just put my phone down and forget about it because the watch is a sufficient proxy. Is it life changing? Nope, but it's definitely convenient.

I've taken phone calls through my watch when cooking before. That was actually really cool.

I think you're forgetting that it's also, well, a watch. I always find it silly how people underplay the fact that smartwatches are also just watches. In my case, I have the time, date, temperature / weather conditions, next meeting time, activity tracking, and the time of sunrise/sunset all available with a split second glance on my wrist. Again, it's not life changing, but it sure is convenient. The sport band is also way more comfortable than almost all traditional watches I've ever worn; I often barely notice I have it on.

I flew a bunch recently and I loved having my gate and terminal information for my next flight right on my watchface.

I don't regret getting the watch at all. It's been a really pleasant companion on my wrist.

I've never really understood why people are mystified by smartwatches. They're just watches that do more and provide more information. People wear them for the same reason they would wear any watch. They're not even that expensive. Maybe $350 sounds like a lot, but I can find you hundreds of Citizen quarts watches for that price or more. $350 is just not high in the watch world.
Legend of Dungeon devs' secret to saving money: Live in a tree
The problem with the American system isn't the culture of direct donations from private individuals. The problem is that too few people have the means to give: it's the distribution of wealth.

A culture where private people donate is really attractive. I know that I get a lot of joy when I help people out - I donate regularly to the causes I feel important (mainly Africa, as a Brit living in Netherlands I figure I owe them). As the article says, it improves social cohesion.

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a society where "everyone" enjoyed the gift of giving?
Motivation isn't a solution, it comes and goes and one has little to no control over it.

+1 more anecdote, I was never diabetic, but doing keto for a year helped me lose 60 lbs and regain my insulin sensitivity.

Even now if I eat keto for breakfast and lunch and moderate carb for supper. Even when I have the occasional high-carb meal, I feel dramatically different than I did before keto/weight loss.

I don't know about the pancreas, but both abstaining form alcohol and keto are shown to dramatically reduce the amount of fat stored in the liver.

Of course, the original iPhone didn't have GPS nor a camera that could compete with any of the digital ones available at the time. I think the problem is that almost all of the 3rd party apps run very slowly on the iWatch. I _really_ want to know how close my Uber driver is by staring at my wrist, but right now it's no faster than opening my phone.
Show time, cost less than 100e and have battery life of 1 year. Just like my old watch.

I don't expect to get these. But you asked what I wanted.
Agreed. The article boils down to this:

Krämer: "It is all just a bad transfer of power from the state to billionaires."

It's just a philosophical difference in opinion about who should decide what to do with the money - elected officials or billionaires.
That's not what the article said at all - nor the German billionaire. He said that having a few very wealthy people decide what were the most important causes was bad compared to having the democratically elected government decide. You may disagree with that, but it is quite different from simply saying public good and private bad.
> I find the US initiative highly problematic. You can write donations off in your taxes to a large degree in the USA. So the rich make a choice: Would I rather donate or pay taxes? The donors are taking the place of the state. That's unacceptable.

Or flip that around - is Krämer's implied solution not a case of the state taking the place of the individual?

Put another way, if you founded a company, created thousands of jobs for families and individuals, and made a fortune, why should the state be the one who decides what happens with your money? Why should the state have more of a right to decide which causes get your charitable donations than you do?
Differences being your examples are dead and someone stumbled across them. This is a car of a live author having his details leaked.
