One of my big peeves is when a blog does not have a date stamp at the top of each post. Some have the date at the bottom of the post, which is less convenient, but at least it's there. Others don't have a date stamp at all, but you can guess when the post was written by looking at the date of the earliest comment, or the date is included as part of the permalink URL.

Will Yager's blog seems to have no possible way of determining when a post was written. Which is especially frustrating since the very first paragraph of the post in question includes the phrase "at the time of writing". Well, when was that!?
All of ASP.NET 5 is open source (and cross-platform): https://github.com/aspnet

A lot of ASP.NET 4.x is open source, e.g. ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web API.

Type Providers?
I'm not sure what the best solution is. For now I guess we'll put it in the category that other penis picture sites go in.
I really dig this idea, but would love to see two more features:

1. Integrate with something like coinbase so that users can fund a wallet with fiat currency.

2. Provide a feedback mechanism that shows the payments had a positive effect. For example, if a GPU review on Anandtech gets lots of tips, Anandtech could do another GPU review and publish that effect somehow.

I personally have a hard time spending money when the effect of that money disappears into a black hole. If paying a tip had some sort of feedback, I would probably do it more often.

I've personally considered taking up ecigs on several occasions.

I haven't done so because the ingredients in the fluid flavorings are so oddly unregulated - You end up with weird things which really aren't safe to be heated and inhaled.

If I had confidence that there was sufficient oversight, such that they were only moderately dangerous, not "close our eyes, and hope for the best", I'd likely start using the devices.
so cool!!

The question would be whether open-sourcing now might lead to higher profits over the long term than remaining closed-source until some later date. In the case you suggest, it could be that once the open source replacement is as good --- or nearly as good -- the closed-source business simply shrivels up and dies.

By switching now, before open source has caught up, the currently closed-source company could attract users and grow greatly now, quite possibly preventing the open source options from ever catching up (and at least greatly delaying that).

This, of course, requires a change in the business model, idea would be that revenue is generated differently, probably much less per-user, but with a great growth in users. It's then an open question which option will generate more profit over the long-term, but it is at least not clear to me that open sourcing now -- when product is way ahead of open source alternatives -- is the wrong decision.

I think the proposal is that the person not leave, instead of leaving and needing to exercise.
While I think your point about using them improperly is good (I know I've seen some weird shit back in the day I did C++) I still think there is merit to allowing operator overloading. Many times you may create units that should work when added together but need unique logic to make it happen and that just can't happen in GO today (you have to make an add() method or something similar).

So I think operator overloading can be exploited pretty horribly but can also make code far more intuitive. It's certainly not something that can't be worked around but I always err on the side of letting it happen and the community can direct people to using them most properly.

A standard self-published e-book model, which sort of combines many of the options you mention above, is along these lines.

First, put the e-book up on Gumroad and/or Amazon or the like, or set up an e-commerce site to sell it yourself (better margins; more work). Also set up a mailing list through MailChimp or the like.

Set up a site about the book, with a blog. Publish a few articles in the blog on the same content that your book is about (but not articles directly from the book itself; you don't want people who buy the book to feel ripped off). In the site's sidebar and at the end of each article, prompt people for their email address to receive a sample chapter of the book and sign up for a mailing list to receive new articles about the topic directly to their inbox for free. Now, as you continue to add new blog posts to the site - twice every month or so - publish them to the mailing list as well.

Finally, end each blog post/mailing list article with a call to action to buy the book. The article will establish your expertise on the subject, and as they're added to your site, will build up your SEO and start driving traffic from search terms related to your topic.

Eventually, if people are interested in your book, write another one. Hey, now you've got a voluntary mailing list full of people interested in your topic to advertise your new book to - it should have much better sales initially than your first one.

Wash, rinse, repeat. I haven't actually done this myself, but it seems to work for a lot of people.
We criticize companies when they do this sort of thing. We should not feel differently, let alone suggest, an individual does that too.

> If you incorrectly cast an interface{} to a type it's not, it will be a runtime error.

Sidenote, you may or may not have meant a panic - so i just want to clarify.

Casting an interface to a type incorrectly will not cause a panic/crash, assuming you use the proper syntax.

// Will panic
foo := myInterface.(BadType)
// Will not panic
foo, ok := myInterface.(BadType)

In the latter, you simply check if `ok` is true or not. If not, the interface value does not implement the given type/interface.
How does one go about looking for a lawyer for such a thing?
I'm not the other guy, but the answer is yes, absolutely. E-cigarettes are not a full replacement for cigarettes. Like you mentioned a lot of the subtler aspects of cigarettes are completely missing from e-cigarettes.

It's a great way to stop smoking, but a lot of people act like you'll pick up an e-cigarette and never think about cigarettes again, which is absolutely untrue. It still takes a concerted effort to not fall off the wagon (I've fallen off twice so far).
It's possible your options expire 90 days after you leave the company's employment, or some such thing. I suspect that's the case. It doesn't make sense to just walk away from those options, though.

Ask the company's CFO or somebody if there's any way they can buy back some of your shares at or near market price. If they can do this, or if they can let you sell them to a third party, you can sell enough shares to raise the cash to cover your tax liability and hang on to the rest.

Or, maybe the company can grant you an exception to the "exercise it or lose it" rule that kicks in when you leave. You won't know unless you ask.

You have some leverage. With the number of shares you have, they'll probably need you to cooperate in any transaction they carry out.

ESOFund is a possibility. But your company has to be a participant. And, they grab some of the upside and a lot of the downside.

At any rate, you probably should get yourself a decent tax accountant (or maybe lawyer) to help you navigate this. It's worth paying for top-drawer advice. That person will know how to recommend an honest EOFund-like broker if that's the route you go.

(Congratulations in advance, by the way!)
"...we inadvertently make our friends feel like losers and contribute to a swirling vortex of envy, in which we ourselves risk drowning."

I always had the feeling that this attitude is worst in the United States than in other places. I guess that it is related to the way society tries to categorize others as winners/losers instead of looking at life as a shadow of greys. And how it blames people for being poor instead of taking into account different circumstances. (But, of course, is not an USA only problem)

If you want to be happier on-line and off-line stop looking at others with envy and begin to look them for inspiration. Have they meaningful lives? How can I improve mine?

If being connected to social networks makes you unhappy disconnecting is the right thing to do. But if envy is what makes you disconnect then your problem is also off-line and sooner or later you will need to get over it if you want to be realised and happy.

2. If you are able to save an above average amount of that salary; and

3. If you are exceptionally good at traditional investment decisions (stock picking) such that you can consistently beat the market; and

4. You actually decide to use the money from #2 for #3

5 Considerations When Dealing with a Complex Hybrid Cloud SLA
The lack of higher-kinded types is somewhat disappointing, but considering F# is still effectively a FP bolt-on to the CLR it's impressive what they do have.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of the ML-style syntax, in JVM land there is Frege but I'm less a fan of the full purity approach it derives from Haskell (I don't care how easy you say the IO monad is to work with, it drives me batty and I like to consider myself a pretty smart guy).

Type providers, excellent async support out of the box, active patterns, there's a lot of great features in F# as well that make it worth looking at.

I used it for a solid year when it first came out and have recently switched to Android, so that I can use Project Fi.

I found the systems to be pretty comparable. Google Now still creeps me out a bit because it assumes I want it to do many things without asking. This may be a product of me not customizing the options, but the fact that it has pinged me while I was sleeping to tell me I was late for a flight in a different country that a family member was taking was irritating. I didn't have that kind of issue with Cortana because it seemed to only do what I directly requested of it.

The voice recognition and speed seemed a little better than Google and Siri at the time too. During lunch, we frequently had faceoffs between digital assistants and Cortana won more than its share. It also seemed to be better at not just showing search results for a question, but actually answering it like a human would. I've even found that it's song recognition works faster than Shazaam, although it has a higher rate of returning no results.

From my experience, unless you are in the MS ecosystem, there is probably little reason to switch from your native assistant. The one exception being, if you find the data policies or certain features to be too intrusive in your current assistant.

The places I've seen Go used are microservice projects that would have otherwise been Python or Node. In context, Go's type system is an absolute dream. Is it more powerful then, say, Scala? Probably not. But that project was never going to use Scala, it was going to use Python, and Go gives us safety that Python doesn't.

Record $4.1B of Series A capital invested in healthcare in 2015
The main problem with social media is that we (generally) post only the good moments in our lives. Leading to the idea that everyone else's lives are always awesome.

We see the good and bad in our own lives, but see only the absolute best of other peoples' lives, leading to feelings of inadequacy.

Now that's not to say it's Facebook's fault. We also generally keep pictures of our 'best' moments in our house. The problem is that, when everyone else's 'best' is on tap, visible so easily, we often forget that everyone is mortal.

If someone were to look on my Facebook (which is now deactivated), they'd see travel adventures, me and my wife dressed up, doing fun things, etc... They wouldn't see me stressed out drinking cup after cup of coffee before a test. Even if I post the dinner I make every day, they wouldn't see the pile of dishes afterwards.

Anyhow, I don't think Facebook is necessarily the cause, it just magnifies our weaknesses. And people have become so vain that I see people who go out just to get that 1 picture to post, not to enjoy themselves. The current generation are becoming more vain, because too many are obsessed with social media and the need to always appear perfect. In the old days when you saw your friends only once a week, it was far easier to hide weakness.

As far as following celebrities, the problem is that it's a celebrity's JOB to appear perfect all the time. The 40-60 hours we spend trying to be good at our profession is 40-60 hours they spend trying to be good at promoting themselves and appearing perfect.

Furthermore, celebrity worship just reinforces the lottery nature of our society. It's not good enough any more to have money, or to have friends. You need to be rich, and have followers...
Thank you very much for this recommendation.

>> Novelists have a choice: stay in and write or get out and promote.

Ya um, the term "writing" is broader than writing books. Writing is a career for many, including myself. That doesn't mean we sit in NY brownstones creating an "atmosphere of gloom and misanthropy."

So ... misleading title. Writing is a skill that is an essential part of many careers. It therefore should not be approach as anything less. Writing novels is an art, something that a precious few are good enough to turn into a career but should be approached first as art.
Dilution doesn't apply. Both the original logo and the new logo are designed to recognise the same entity. It fails part V in your article:

Since the users of the new mark are only utilising it to point to the original owner of the Trademark, dilution doesn't apply.
Historians' "customers" are other historians. We do have people building historically-rich entertainment product ( in the manner of Michener ) out of that grist. It's hard to say that is worse than, say, just-television. One thing we get is actually good television - I consider "Vikings" a great deal of fun, and it has at least legend integrated in to a narrative framework.

Somebody has to popularize things or it just dries out. And I can't tell you how much history of things long ago has changed just in the last five decades or so. The things didn't change... but the story did.

It's sad how little faith we have in nonfiction mass media.

Have there been any serious attempts to generate more rigorous models that can be simulated? I'm sure any such attempt would fall far short of reality, but even a terrible failure would be fascinating.
A nice survey of the topic can be found in Total Order Broadcast and Multicast Algorithms: Taxonomy and Survey, Xavier Défago, André Schiper, Péter Urbán, 2004[1]. Interestingly, the unexpected fame of the CAP theorem and especially its various misinterpretations has done some harm to this field of distributed systems when people started believing that eventual consistency is the only way to achieve the scalability requirements of their applications.

On the JVM, the best group communication infrastructure is the terrific JGroups library[2]. On .NET (and soon the JVM, too) there's Vsync (Isis 2)[3]. For C/C++ (with Java and Python binding), there's Spread[4]. All three are heavily inspired by the work of (or, in the case of Vsync/ISIS, directly created by) Ken Birman of Cornell, and implement group membership and leader election, atomic multicast, failure detection and more.

Google navigation is the best example of this. Because of aesthetics I keep my phone in English even though I live in a Spanish speaking country. It's ok for Navigation to assume my language to be English but they should offer the option of changing it. The English voice completely mangles the Spanish street names and makes directions difficult to follow at times. It really isn't difficult for Google to just offer the option of changing the language.

Thats a good idea. The QR code gets us close to this implementation, but not quite all the way there.

> 2. Provide a feedback mechanism that shows the payments had a positive effect.

Yes, THIS. I'd very much like to include feedback into the system (author name, topic, title, etc) such that publishers know what their audience cares deeply about (paid for) vs just casually reads (pageview).

> I personally have a hard time spending money when the effect of that money disappears into a black hole. If paying a tip had some sort of feedback, I would probably do it more often.
