I really want to agree with you that Atom is awesome, and it is, in principle, but in reality a text editor should not be using 300MB of RAM. Sublime Text, which I consider to be a direct competitor, barely uses 20MB of memory on my machine even after hours of use. Heck, does Intellij even use that much memory?

I'm just really discouraged with how more and more desktop apps are being written in HTML, CSS and Javascript and suffer in quality as a result.
That solves a different problem. REM is useful for making the value relative to a master value; v-units make the value relative to the viewport.

I actually use the two in conjunction. I set some my html {font-size: 1.2vw;} (or whatever), and all type in the document to 1rem (or whatever measurement). Then I finally step out the html size to major browser breakpoints using old-fashioned media queries.

That's up to the game/publisher. With Bastion for example, you can copy the game directory to another PC and it will still work. But most games will require Steam to run first.
I'd be skeptical of this piece. There's been one hit piece after another against this guy from the conservative/business media. It is possibly that he's a shady character, but it is also possible that some people are Really upset at him establishing a pay floor of $70k a year.

We should suspend judgment until we have further evidence.
I'd say the pictures are kinda creepy.
The CEO just sounds desperate for attention, as if he's a cult leader. Seriously, planks during meetings? I'd quit right then and there. Just sounds like an immature person that just wants to start a business because he'll get to implement all these quirky, utopic policies.

Also, just very low emotional intelligence for not thinking about the people who got paid highly and deserved it. You didn't hire robots - you hired human beings with real emotions.

I am a backend web developer who uses Ruby on Rails while maintaining an aptitude for lower-languages such as Java. I also aim to become a full-stack web JavaScript developer. I’ve been studying programming and coding over the last few years and consistently (50+ hrs/week) for the last year and a half.

Last Fall (2014) I created a self-directed faux boot camp of my own design to attain proficiency in object-oriented programming. To accomplish this I took 22 cr. of programming classes for a Java Certificate at Austin Community College. After which, I studied JavaScript for the next 4 months in order to develop my skills as a frontend developer. This past August I decided to solidify my skills as a web developer and am a recent graduate of The Iron Yard's backend Ruby on Rails coding school.

I'd love to work in an agile shop that encourages pair programming, collaboration and continued education. I'm a quick learner, multi-tasker and can't wait to join a team and start contributing.
To be fair, Microsoft did a really really good job with VSCode - it can easily search big files that Atom completely chokes on.

It does have a problem with files bigger than a few MB tho - but native editors like gedit chooked on that too so I can't blame them too much.

And it has that smooth input animation that not many native editors have but it adds so much to the feeling of responsiveness (other editor I've noticed using this is latest intellij versions).

My point wasn't even so much about performance, with enough effort you could work around most of the issues (at least in some browsers, kind of dumps on the idea of "portability").

My point was that the whole GWT -> JS this took or the coffeescript Atom took is such a pain on the ass to develop with compared to a real GUI toolkit - just think of the developer productivity without the stupid GWT compile times, special cases, etc.

Think how nice of a development expirience you would have with something like Kotlin + JavaFX, or C# and WPF.

I really really wish Microsoft would open source GUI stack from Silverlight and let community maintain it as a cross platform GUI framework for CoreCLR - they already had it running on OSX meaning it can run on non-windows tech - meaning the porting path exists, and a lot of work went into silverlight GUI controls historically, plus it's WPF compatible. They could make "portable profile WPF" from it if they wanted, and also target mobile and desktop, from Visual Studio and Visual Studio Blend - the ultimate Enterprise app development platform
"pidstat 1" prints active processes, making it much less noisy that top -b, and therefore highlights malevolent processes. I think the top equivalant would be "top -b -i", though that has more output and is a bit noisier.
He's parading around as an altruistic person when the evidence seems to suggest he's not. Many people argued that giving arbitrary raises is a bad way to run a business and probably unsustainable. If the raises were given for reasons besides he claimed, it gives much more credence to those arguments.
I went to high school with this guy, and used his company as a payment processor when I was running a small retail shop. That was about 4 years ago. really did a good job nailing down the small merchant niche by removing dumb fees like 'drop fee' and 'statement fee'

It's been really weird to see everyone's reaction to this thing. Surreal almost. Didn't see Notch get this kind of hate when he shared his bonus with all employees. Perhaps it's because he works in the financial industry?
Thanks, I did mean Cask. I follow both projects closely and am aware of a bunch of the current discussions. Both are great initiatives.
Your Brain Is a Mosaic of Male and Female
S/he means people who believe that society and individuals are better off serving themselves without any concern for the well-being of others.

If this experiment, of giving up a bunch of profit (and his own pay), were to succeed and make the company more profitable, it would undermine the idea that selfishness is the best way to serve yourself.

"An artist's impression of how the new engine would look in ground tests"

A render of a test stand firing? Now that's a bit much. Now that they have $21 million, they had better do that for real on a test stand.

They've been working on this for over a decade. I'd expect at least a small scale demo by now.
I would say the sandbox limits on the MAS are worse, because they go against what a computer is supposed to do. Limits on the phone are considered ok, because first and foremost, the phone has to operate as a phone.
This article slings a lot of mud but little of it sticks. The main thrust of their issue is (paraphrasing) "He should have been paid about 470K, not 1.1mil" (before he cut his pay and gave it to his staff).

But in a private business the owners can pay themselves whatever they want as long as all owners agree to it. The lawsuit is likely related to how not all owners agreeing with his 1.1 mil pay packet, and the article is arguing that his decision to cut it and give it away was because he knew the lawsuit was incoming (to head it off, essentially).

They try to raise a lot of other issues (e.g. that he claimed client turnover was 30%, when they claim it is 16% and up, but definitely less than 30%), but much of it comes across as almost petty, like they had one big interesting claim and tried to pad it out with a bunch of minor mis-speaking or other miscellaneous issues.

Ultimately it reads like a hit piece. Really they're just re-hashing the lawsuit and have nothing else to add of value.
There's no such thing as a 'male brain' or 'female brain,' and scans prove it
I'm not sure I understand.

How does his motivation for giving the raises have an effect on whether this is a good way to run a business or whether it's sustainable?
I watched that, and enjoyed it for the most part, but I either totally missed, or they just didn't explain, what the purpose was for the initial invasion from the other world into Japan. Do we know what that was all about? Was it purely, "Hey we've got this sweet portal thing, let's go seize whatever's on the other side"?
>> I am from Kerala state & I enjoy almost the same living standards in Kerala as that of US where I am currently working.

You've got to be kidding me. The definition of first world country isn't a fast internet connection. Heck US has 2G speeds all over the country.

Having world class road/transportation infrastructure, dependable energy security, national security, economic infrastructure, public schools which provide same quality of education throughout country etc. These are some of the things that count as metrics for development.

Kerala or any state in India is atleast 5 decades away from the standard of living I've seen in the US.
In traditional burials, something called adipocere occasionally develops.

Basically body fats become saponified sealing the rest of the body from insects and bacteria, preventing a normal decay.

But it doesn't happen every time, it depends on the percentage of fat, humidity and probably a number of other parameters.
What do you think is so horrible about XUL, apart from XBL being really, really verbose? The basic UI part is fairly decent, IMHO.
Glad you posted that, I knew something was clearly out of whack with his compensation just based on revenue alone it did not make sense.

The article tries to paint an elaborate picture, but ultimately fails on all counts to point out the most basic problem with this story and that might have shed additional light on his motivations.

I don't know how to write this comment in a short time span without coming across as a snarky a-hole but seriously, why are such piss-poor writers allowed to write for such serious publications? where the hell are editors and what are they doing? when did it become acceptable to hit 'publish' on such a shoddy amateurish article?

Well that was a waste of words. The tl;dr seems to be he used to pay himself a lot (which he has told everyone), now he pays a lot of people more than before (which he has told everyone), is stressed out that his brother is suing him (which he told everyone) and likes publicity (which is obvious).

Brings back some fond memories. Surely one of the questions it begs is what current tools replace HyperCard; clearly not html per se - WordPress seems like the closest analog, really. Though obviously static markup/css/js encourages the kind of tinkering that HyperCard also was good for, a way for non-technical folks to dabble in coding (with occasionally disastrous results, sure).

Possibly more confusing, but have you played BioShock? It's kind of an Objectivism Pitfalls for Dummies.

Ayn Rand founded/advocated a strong, determined branch of Libertarianism called Objectivism. In an over-generalizing nutshell, it's a philosophy, often economic, of individual freedoms over community needs (a strong negative over-reaction to bad socialism).
I had to Google "notch bonus" to find out what you were talking about. Maybe when you don't have a press campaign accompanying things it flies under the radar and seems more sincere.
So treat it as an identity problem, throw away all of the users you find questionable,...

And if questionability is correlated with the thing you are trying to measure, you've just added bias. For example, consider trying to measure engagement or something correlated with it. Are users who connect to your site from 3 different devices more or less engaged than normal? Great - you just threw out your most engaged users.

Similarly, you can't just use a session cookie to test per-session behavior. This introduces correlations between sessions, which violates the IID assumption in all the standard statistical tests.

https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2015/no_free_samples.html

You can fix this if you want by using the weakly mixing central limit theorem or just explicitly putting the mixing into a Bayesian analysis. But that's probably a lot trickier than just using a long term cookie.
Yeah, Paddle looks cool but I'm not sure how I'd integrate it w/ a "fake" faux-native app builder like Electron. Probably just ignorance on my part. :)

Is there a writeup for the story of this sale?
You can actually host the Nylas Sync Engine yourself so if you're seriously considering it, it's still an option.
It is because he is promoting "evil" socialist ideas that go against the very grain of capitalism (essentially sharing the wealth, and sharing the profits).

He's upset a lot of rich and powerful people who don't want their poor underlings to start asking why they aren't benefiting from the company's growth or profit margins.

Essentially he upset the status quo.
I didn't have any conflicts with them. They were nice people, to me at least; they even used to cut my hedge. My only issue with them was that they thought that a man who lived in the sky, or possibly everywhere was telling them that a disabled child had some kind of devil living inside them and that they had to get it out, even if doing that required screaming and shouting, shaking and probably permanently damaging the child.

I don't think all Christians are like that either. My grandma was a Catholic, and one of the most selfless people I have ever known.

Most of the monotheistic religions seem to me a little like still believing in Father Christmas, and the same "get em while they're young" method of indoctrination is often used. If I meet someone who is religious, in my head I'm thinking about the practicalities and (how does such a fat man get down the chimney? How does he know which children have been naughty and which have been nice? And how does he get through all those houses in one night?).

And I'm not prejudiced. Pointing out gaping inconsistencies in someone else's argument or belief system goes not constitute prejudice. I totally support people believing in whatever they want to believe as long as it doesn't impact on others right to do the same. My personal belief is that Father Christmas does not exist, and any grown-up believing that he does is fucking ridiculous.

I do like mince pies though.
It bugged me too. Here's the equivalent logic without even using all (which is definitely the right approach):

for rule in self.rules:
if not rule.canPost:
return False
return True

That's the same number of lines of code, doesn't require two imports, and is way easier to follow. I love functional programming but Python (intentionally, see reduce in py3) is not a language for doing it.
Noticed the same thing, wondered if I was missing some niche side effect here. TBH, I've noticed there's almost never a reason for a general reduce() in Python (to my usual dismay, as an ex-Clojure programmer). It does result in clearer, less clever code for the most part.
Text and walking: digital Russian roulette
> the devs avoid users like the plague

A recipe for a terrible product. I tried Postbox when it came out and found it to be unbearably buggy (like they had released an alpha version). I couldn't even get Gmail to work, which should have been user story #1 for them: set up Gmail account.

Now I understand the culture that made it such a piece of garbage and will continue to avoid it like the plague.
Thanks for that, I find these stories of the games industry remarkable in how cut-throat the whole industry seems, but perhaps I just don't see enough of the business level of my own industry to recognise it.
> the article is arguing that his decision to cut it and give it away was because he knew the lawsuit was incoming (to head it off, essentially).

That is not what the article is saying at all. It says that he initiated this pay raise after being sued because he payed himself too much.
Yeah, exactly the same thing happens every time. There isn't much of a way around it though, it should really do automatic updates.
They pretty specifically said that the inability to charge for updates encourages pump and dump development.

Will this be some kind of Adobe AIR wrapper application to play "packaged" HTML5 games, similar to how the desktop SWF player opens swf files? I can't imagine a need for this except for offline content (such as installation intro screens when you pop in a driver CD, or download a standalone kid's game).
