I saw a lot of this splicing type in old military radio transceivers ("portable" for a given value of portable - usually some kind of backpack weighting ~30Kg - and the batteries were in another backpack).

That splicing works for solid-core conductors, but it doesn't have the same strength on stranded wire, as it is more flexible. It could work on tinned thin stranded wire (as it makes a kindof-solid wire) but if you tin it then you can just solder it and that's it. The referenced standard[1] also contains the splicing for stranded wire, and some requirements about when and how to use each.

My partner's parents and grandparents watch anime, read manga, and her parents definitely game way more than us (PC, iPhone, and handheld PS/Nintendo/...). It's a casual activity like reading a book or watching TV, not just for techies/geeks/nerds/etc. But to address any concerns about value to society, they do hold Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira on a pretty high pedestal. Not the same as Kurosawa, but why should that matter?

Edited to add: both her and my parents are roughly the same age and share many interests in art/media/culture. Mine are from the US and were adults by the time Pong came out; despite the explosion of media in recent years I don't think the type of content they look for is much different than it would be otherwise. South Park might be the only exception.

These are the pylons dotted over the landscape in the UK. They were designed in the 1920s and don't look too bad. But many people consider them a blot on the landscape:

They are are to be superceded by a new design from Danish architects Brystrup who were the winners of a 2011 competition to design a new pylon for the UK. Their winning design uses much less material than current pylons but the appearance is a little utilitarian and bland.

Here is a small gallery of entries from the 2011 pylon design competition including Brystrup's design:

Every generation needs their war on teenage boys. Luckily for those brave warriors it's not too difficult to whip up a teapot tempest over bugaboos like penny dreadfuls or video games.

Of course, since it seems unlikely that the core warrior premise of media driving behavior is actually true, the core warrior desire of media censorship is not a price I'm willing to pay.

Having done Clojure for a living before Haskell, it's the type system, explicit effects, laziness, overall good design, and FP. In that order.

But the "FP" part is only tangentially the point unless you take FP to mean "pure functional programming", ie, just a lambda calculus.

Having the ability to write "map" and "filter" in your programming language doesn't really do much for you in practice. Believing otherwise is why people thought FP users were nuts for a long time.

> OTOH you kind of need hashes/maps in the real world

You need hashes/maps in programming languages. But you don't really need first class support for them in a serialization format, since if you have a way to specify custom types (which you need to serialize arbitrary, user-defined types), you can serialize maps as lists of pairs with an appropriate type annotation.

I usually have error logging/reporting with full stack trace. This was a quick one-off that I definitely didn't mean to commit! One web app that I worked on years ago would save the entire session state of the user on error. We had a dev tool that would allow us to jump in with all of our session state all set exactly as this user on the exact spot where they had the error. It was pretty great for reproducing most errors except one pesky one that would show up in the logs randomly.

Finally, one day I accidentally triggered that annoying error by doing a specific sequence of things and then clicking the browser back button a few times, then doing another specific sequence. That was a day of celebration!
You know, I'm starting to feel that there is no pleasing everyone. When a company decides to do a design without consulting a committee, people get all upset that they broke the standardization process. But when a feature does go through the process, people will complain about how it was designed and then blame it for being designed by a committee. What's the solution?

Well, I'm glad we're not experiencing polarizing battles over moralization of popular fiction and the deleterious content of entertainment that young men consume. That must have been exhausting.

Thankfully, with the advent of modern communication, people can be informed that they are engaging in a moral panic and reacting emotionally to sensationalism by the more rational and wise leaders of our age.
>I have the same trouble finding good curators as I do finding good games. I don't know what curators are good just like I don't know what games are good.

You should have even more trouble finding good curators than finding good games.

But the idea is that you need to find a curator ONCE, and then they suggest lots of games for years.

A curator not being 100% perfect it's OK too -- after all even one's self buying games they read about or even try their demos, will pick some dudes. It's unreasonable to expect a curator (or a recommendation) service to not do that too.
This is my pet peeve with Steam, too, especially because it seems to be so easy to fix. If only I had the ability to communicate my dislikes to Steam by blacklisting certain tags, the recommendation system would instantly become an order of magnitude more helpful.

Most tags actually seem to be spot-on and quite helpful, so the data is already there.

> I'm also surprised that the desktop client has never implemented an "is this machine actually capable of running this game?" check. Non-trivial to implement, sure, but really useful.

I've wondered that as well. A bit of data munching together with user feedback, in a similar manner to online fashion stores ("I found these size 11 boots a bit on the small side") would be quite helpful.

Many OS X apps are utilities that help you work with other apps. Running all the time in the background, monitoring, looking at keyboard input, observing folders, etc. These types of apps are fundamentally at odds with the Sandbox. But they're used often by many/most OS X users, even the less technically inclined.

Whereas the design and simplicity of iOS has ensured, from the start, that these types of apps cannot exists on that OS.

> Are the sandbox limits really too restrictive for most apps (I guess new APIs/permissions could improve that with time)

The last 5 years have proven that Apple is not interested in granting exemptions to the Sandbox or new entitlements for, say, Accessibility apps.
> Tolerance of intolerance (e.g., hate speech) leads inevitability to the extinction of tolerance itself.

I would argue that this is an unverified and overblown statement. In fact, I don't even see why this would eventually lead itself to be true, unless you already consider bigotry and hatred to be the majority norm in a very pervasive sense. I could write more on the matter, but others have done some considerable study on the matter [1]. I would say that overall being tolerant of intolerance is a good thing, because these people naturally exclude themselves from social structures and circles of power where they are expected to maintain a leadership role towards those they are bigoted against. Further, by integrating intolerant people with those of us who are tolerant, there is more chance for them to learn why their hatred may be misplaced, and for us to learn where the boundaries of our own personal expression should be.

Thinking merely that we must "stamp out all hatred" is in fact a form of hatred in itself. You can't fight fire with fire here.

Wow, this looks pretty nice. One of the reasons why I'd always used Codepen was because the interface was much more pleasant.

It did make me a bit weary to hear that they were undertaking a "complete rewrite" by a member who had just recently joined the team. That could quickly backfire.
Sure; but the reality is they did nothing at all.
No but perhaps I wasn't being clear what I meant sorry.

What I mean is that using web view make it way easier to layout out networked assets. At least thats my experience having worked with both.

I visited Japan over a decade ago and it seemed like everywhere i turned there was anime and manga and adults reading it.

I stayed a couple of nights in an inn as well and there were several shelves of manga (mostly hentai) on the bookshelf in the waiting room.

Also all of my Japanese friends in America (admittedly they were in their teens) were into manga and anime.

I think its a pretty well known and accepted fact that anime and manga are popular among all age groups in Japan.

They also seem to be fine (at least more fine than midwest America) with softcore porn.
There was a lot of waste-up porn on news stands and I saw a row of Japanese men looking at more explicit porn mags in a bookstore in front of the magazine rack like it was a sunday paper -- totally nonchalant.

I agree with you, but still feel the need to point out that Bluetooth LE (as opposed to "Classic Bluetooth") is, as far as I understand, allowed to be used by any developer without going through MFi.
This is a bit off topic, but I see this bafflement over the general decline in editing quality a lot. It's really not so surprising given the way the news landscape has changed in the last couple decades.

Editing is expensive[1]. The internet ripped the heart out of the print news business. Accordingly, editing has been cut back drastically pretty much across the board in response to increasingly tight budgets.

[1] Much more expensive than one might assume without having experienced the process. Coordinating among multiple people plus the back and forth iterative process that editing generates adds a lot of overhead to the writing process. Self editing is much faster (and therefore cheaper), but you get blind to errors that would jump out at someone else, and so errors slip through much more readily. Plus, other people are capable of challenging your assumptions in a way that you just aren't capable of since you aren't even always aware of your own assumptions.

Source: I've written informally at the margins for a reasonably, but not tremendously, high trafficked niche blog, and have participated a little in both edited and self-edited articles from both the writing and editing side. This was never industrial strength editing, so I imagine the cost to actual news outlets with higher standards is a lot higher than I have experienced.

>For me, finding a person whose reviews I can trust takes a lot of time, so it's useless for answering the question "anything good here I would like to play right now?"

Of course. You first need to do some work (find a curator you trust), before you can check a game they suggest.

But what would the alternative be? Either you ALWAYS search for yourself, or you search first for some curators and then follow their suggestions (occassionaly checking out stuff on your own too).
LOL, I actually didn't say that as a thinly veiled guilt trip... it was a genuine question... what happened to it? Where did this notion fall by the wayside and get replaced with a more narcissistic attitude that appears to be more prevalent now?
I strongly suspect your definition of "harass" borders on what I would call academic discourse.

A university and a office are two very distinct environments. University is designed to create an environment for learning, growing, debating, being challenged in ones preconceived notions, and in some ways, it's also a crucible to help prepare young adults to enter society as productive members.

To apply the same standards of a workplace to an academic institution is ridiculous. In fact, in many ways we want workplaces to become more like university. It's another example of the friction and the push back against efforts to sterilize the workplace (trying to prevent it becoming the next "safe space").
I'm pretty sure we're already there.
I don't know what to think, years ago the Japanese defence minister talked about Godzilla invading and he was only half-joking (http://www.japannewsreview.com/politics/politics/20071220pag...).

I believe HitTail has it's own history of terms it's collected over the years before google took it off the table
>>Financially speaking (and knowing what you know now) would you do it again?

Absolutely, no questions asked. Several reasons:

1. Acquiring an app with product/market fit puts you ~18 months ahead of starting from scratch. Like most founders, I'm not a very patient person. I'm now working on GetDrip.com, and it took us a long time to hit p/m fit. The slog to get there is the worst part of launching a product, IMO.

2. Financially, this was a game changer for me. During the course of my tenure with HitTail, revenue + the sale prices funded multiple angel investments, the budget for building and launching Drip, and many other things I would not have been able to afford previously.

3. The acquisition and revamp were also game changing for me in terms of what I was able to learn, the content I was able to produce from it (multiple MicroConf talks). Both are important to me.

Even without the sale, the learnings and financial rewards were still a major success for me.

>>Will you be going through the trash to find your next treasure?

I've already started my next one, GetDrip.com. I built it from scratch with a co-founder, and I can't count the times I've said "I'm never going to build from scratch again!"

I try not to say "never," but if I could choose build or buy I would buy. Every. Single. Time.

The argument usually goes that some people deserve to be paid more than others based on more specialized skills, more experience, etc. That it's unfair to be paid the same as someone who's doing a more entry-level position than yourself.
