I made a similar script but that also has 'plugins' so 'URLs' like @username, twitter:topic, /r/subreddit, and hn:topic load up the tweets, Twitter search results, sub-Reddit items, or HN search results respectively for certain keywords, using their respective APIs.
Backdoors aside, I'm wary of what the proposed Manhattan project would be without specifics. Without details it sounds like a continuation or expansion of the current NSA bulk surveillance programs, which while not explicit encryption backdoors themselves (Dual EC aside), are not an ideal solution.

umm, can you cite a RESTful cloud storage API that's consistently implemented between providers? If Dropbox's API was RESTful would that save me any time using Google's competing API? By the way, all these platform provide SDKs for you anyway and that's usually a better way to use them.

When you start playing with the APIs from lots of different cloud storage folks (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive) you see that they vary widely in concepts and capabilities. REST or not building a client for one doesn't really make you closer to using another. Also Dropbox's old API was REST and it doesn't seem more portable (https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs)
It's not central air, most Americans don't know what indoor/outdoor system mean. It's something like this:

Why do people, including other “humanists,” love to hate the humanities?
No, it is an editor called "the hammer" [1]. As it is I am one of the developers of that editor. It is rather specialized and targets the programming language DataFlex. The editing component is based on the codemax component. While I have access to all the code, I'm not sure on how-to add ligatures support.

That is precisely the cultural shift I am talking about. If you are doing science, the thing you spend 60 hours a week doing should be "trying to understand the world better." Once you have achieved some new understanding, you should want to share that understanding with others.

What you're talking about are things like pride and profit, stubbornness and renown. My point was that the current science culture is currently as much about fame and pride as it is about understanding. In order to have any sort of anonymized, wiki-based science, we would need to ask people who have become famous and respected by doing things one way to start over in a new way.

FYI, trees don't block sound unless the strand is extremely dense and at least 100-ft thick. Their value is more psychological (out-of-sight, out-of-mind) than physical in reducing the perception of noise.

It's really not, I'm sorry.

State is carried by the client, the client traverses links to find out what it can do, the responses are described by a published content type, and the content type defines the semantics of the protocol.

It's not hard, but people like to pretend that it is. Nothing says you can't stick to GET and POST, nothing requires weird headers.

"ReST in Practice" is a great introduction for engineers.
Yes.

Couple that with the fact that much of the "data" in this area comes from books with ISBNs (which almost no U.S. indie books have, due to the bizarre pricing scheme that Bowker has foisted on us) and things really don't look very good for the trad publishers.
Proclaiming that the syntax only causes problems stands in complete defiance of most people's preferences in programming syntax.

We like syntax errors because they mold thoughts more precisely. Going against that is also going against a lot of "productivity enhancers" - we build them because we expect to have a lot of code, and we want to reduce the kinds of errors that it may contain. That doesn't mean that we should abuse them to write as much code as we can, but it does turn out that way in practice.

So in an odd way Moore and co are right - we would be more free if we also constrained ourselves more on this point.

But the broader thought is that you can apply such constraints at any time, in tandem with what you already like. And that is more likely to produce an innovation than "just Forth".
Seems like an expensive lawsuit was an issue:

June 2015: "If you add another $18,000 a month in legal fees ... we just can't absorb it on our own."

October 2015: "We're still working with the other party to wrap up the lawsuit. But to maintain the restaurant at this point it would just continue to put us in a substantial amount of debt. [...] as small business owners, we won't be able to afford a trial, and we really can’t even afford to go through the proceedings leading up to a trail. The realization was that the only way to bring this all to a close is to dissolve the business and move on"

I think you get most of it, I was trying to convey that if you say something to colleagues at the workplace that is too disrespectful, sexually suggestive, vulgar or sexist to mention in front of either of your parents, it's a good common sense "warning flag" that it's probably not safe for work. I struggle with this myself, having a dark sense of humor. I hate seeing the perfect set up for a raunchy/sick punchline going to waste, but I'd also like to keep my job :)

Politics is a bit of a gray area. It's very easy to make people uncomfortable without realizing it, it's just a shitstorm waiting to happen. I try to avoid it unless I'm speaking in private with a colleague who I know extremely well.

The article isn't asking why Atlassian is successful.

Having a great product generating word of mouth is typical table stakes for success.

The article is asking how Atlassian grew so fast while only spending 12 and 21% of their revenue on customer acquisition in the last three years.

I agree their answer is a little lacking, but the question is a good one.
About the same meaning I would derive from a native of anywhere saying their home-town/city/country is 'amazing/perfect/etc...'

That they're(almost always) expressing a sentiment not making a statement of fact.

Can you name many situations where 'perfect' is actually used literally?

That cake was perfect? I think not; you're completely ignoring the non-locally-sourced flour.

I'm not trying to say your point isn't valid it just seemed out of place and tangentially related to the topic.
"I love reading in the bath, risky with an electronic device."

Large ziploc bag. Problem solved.

Not to mention that the cheapest Fire tablet is down to about $50, which isn't all that much more than a single hardback book (bath water doesn't do those any good, either, especially with the crap "binding" that publishers use on "hardback" books nowadays).
It's a good insight that other systems may complement GTD for driving deep creative focus. Todd Henry covers this very well, both conceptually and tactically, in his book The Accidental Creative. He offers a flexible set of practices that work together as a system to help you put your money where your mouth is in terms of what you say is important in your creative work and how you spend your time and mental energy in light of that. He touches on a lot of the same principles as the OP but in book form. It's a good read and is backed by the author's personal experience and work experience helping others tackle their own creativity and productivity challenges.

One technique relevant to other commenters recognizing that a full task view is not always relevant for creative projects, or least for the creative aspect of projects, is to maintain a project list that focuses on the key challenges or questions that define the creative purpose or problem of the project. Review that regularly and set aside time to tackle the creative challenges. You can always use GTD or any other task list tool to track the concrete tasks generated from those times and work from those lists during pomodoros or heads down execution time. The point is nurturing creativity does require different techniques than task execution, but with some care you can manage it within the constraints of a given day, week, and month. The book says it much better and more comprehensively than I can and is highly recommended reading.
Decembers issue – SwiftMonthly
> There are lots of female authors, and they're well publicized [...] this is exactly the book list you'd expect from a cohort of 25-35 year old startup founders

If you look at any 'best books of the year' lists though, most of them are written by men, even though most people in the publishing industry are women.

I suspect it's partly because if you look at the gender gap in reading preferences, women tend to read and write more books in winner-take-all areas. E.g. if you want to learn something about foreign policy then you might need one specific book out of the thousands that get written each year, but if you want to read a novel about relationships then there's not much reason to go beyond the best couple dozen of the year.
I think one reason why 'normals' complain about night-owls is that they are secretly jealous of those who can choose their time of waking up rather than have it dictated to them. Therefore an early wake up 'builds character,' according to them anyway.
"But traditional books are still easier to read,"

Older people (or anyone with failing vision) would disagree with that statement. Strongly.

If you haven't read it yet, I would recommend Les Miserables. I chose to really take my time and read a full unabridged translation (don't speak French, unfortunately.) People probably typically view me as "isolationist, individualist, and just a little bit of an asshole" but reading that book definitely made me "warmer, kinder, more sympathetic/empathetic." Sorry to plagiarize but I couldn't explain it any better than you did.
GitHub is an example of an API that makes use of HATEOS, and is quite real.
Whilst I can't provide you an example for cloud storage, I can for syndicated feeds. ATOM is an example of multiple clients interacting with separate syndicated feed servers. The individual implementations can all differ.

The way a client interacts with the server is via the media-type and HATEOAS (via the rel-types).
Of course, OpenBSD uses CVS exclusively.
Sometimes it feels like nobody has read Fielding and that people just make up what REST is to be what Rails prescribes.

It's easy on any major OS. Windows and OS X have one/two-click installers, Linux distros and BSDs pre-package it. The only really difficult case is a less-mainstream OS where you'll have to compile it, which honestly isn't that hard either.
I know it's not a feed aggregator, but you could intrumentalize pinboard (pinboard.in), they have the option of retrieving and storing an archive of all your links if you so desire. They even resolve first level dependencies, so external images are also stored (see https://blog.pinboard.in/2010/11/bookmark_archives_that_don_...). See some numbers on link rot here: https://blog.pinboard.in/2011/05/remembrance_of_links_past/

Pinboard is built as a bookmark manager, but if you say that all entries in a feed is a bookmark then it should work for you. Oh and there's full-text search as well.

India to make CBSE textbooks available online for free
Exactly. I have recently had a few cases where I've rewritten bloated overly-complex js into 10% to 20% of the LOC.

The big benefit is the drastic complexity reduction. Suddenly the junior developers look like superstars because they can understand it and their productivity soars.

I'm continually surprised at how otherwise smart engineers end up writing boated spaghetti that is 'correct' at the micro level but ridiculous at the macro level. A few poorly chosen abstractions can increase the cost of development by 10x easily.

I think that needless compiler errors is an interesting point that isn't discussed often, so that at least is an interesting point.

We have those productivity enhancers because the language makes it easy to make a mistake there. Ideally we would want to eliminate those mistakes without the syntactic headache.

Although obviously how to do that is a complex exercise, I do think that saying "code bloat is bad" even against "bugs are worse" can provide interesting insights into what we really want from languages.
Probably not as none of those points impact the freedoms of the user. If DRM encumbered e-books came first I don't think he would find physical books an acceptable solution because of the points you mentioned but no doubt he would maintain that physical books were superior for freedom.
Rewriting something like C++ into a higher level language with a heavier runtime wouldn't necessarily be reducing code bloat in the author's eyes. He's talking about "bloat" in the sense of the whole stack, not just how many lines you write on top of the stack.

It's amazing how oblivious some people are to the fact that every step they take is actually a huge stomp. I'm surprised their ankles don't shatter from repeatedly hammering their full body weight down onto their heels.

Isn't it uncomfortable for them to use their heels like pistons? How does it not hurt?
> NYC's fascination with inefficient window units is really quite strange. I suppose landlords enjoy not having to pay for installation and maintenance of permanent units.

Fascination is not the right word. As you correctly assert, landlords have no interest in installing permanent AC, so my window unit is my only option, and it isn't particularly fascinating.
I would look at it if it was a website. Apps have too much security and privacy problems.
Not RESTful per se (though certainly not un-RESTful, either) but a number of vendors support a healthy subset of the S3 API such that the vendors may be interchangeable for your application.
Contextual Runtimes
If some C programmers have that scoff at higher level programmers attitude, Chuck Moore is the equivalent but addressed at C programmers (and higher, I guess).

I have a feeling he's not the kind of person a C programmer could say things like "C is high-level (obvious one-to-one mapping) assembly" and "C is (blanket) efficient" around, and get away with it.
They have a special OS driver which moves the FTL closer to the OS. So one of the things they need is multi GB of memory from the OS to keep the FTL mapping tables. Also sudden power loss requires OS intervention to piece back the FTL structure (I seem to recall the original product taking 5 minutes to recover.) This also means you couldn't boot from an Fusion IO drive. I'm not sure if they fixed these issues on a more recent drive.
the cheapest Fire tablet is down to about $50, which isn't all that much more than a single hardback book

Yes, but the Fire tablet does not come with any books. You still have to pay at least 1/5 of the price of the tablet just for an eBook.
I doubt it will be that bad. It will probably seem a little more dull, like some of the colorblind simulators you can find around the net. It's probably not just screens; pigments have the color they have because they reflect certain wavelengths, tuned to the proportion that a trichromat would consider identical. A tetrachromat is almost certain to notice that pigments of pictures on paper might be drastically different in color to the color of the objects the pictures are supposed to represent.

The brain doesn't perceive color just by addition of the stimulation of the cones. Your red and green cones are still (slightly) stimulated when you see blue, and your brain tells you that blue is the color; with violet, the stimulation among the cones have a different proportion, hence violet. Incidentally, this is also why the sky appears blue; the sky is too polluted by other wavelengths to appear violet.
With REST we cannot truly define a degree of understanding. Such a definition would assume that multiple people know and agree on what would be the full extent of that understanding. The problem with REST is not the different amount of knowledge that people possess, but the different ideas that they have about REST. Which is another way to say that REST is not really a well defined protocol. (Have you seen similar vague posts titled "What IMAP4 actually means"?)

Because it is not a well defined protocol, you cannot use the same client library to access random REST APIs. You use/write one library to access Twitter's REST and another to access Facebook's REST. You could argue that you use HTTP in both cases, but that's just the underlying transport protocol - not the API "language" itself. Because of that fact I blame REST for the millions of developers hours wasted in re-implementations of hundreds and thousands versions of the same "concept".

The REST "idea" sure looks sexy when you put it next to an atrocity like SOAP, but that's one of its very few merits.
To add to these:

- Even in a walled garden like Kindle, arbitrary fragmentation of the platform. Books that my Kindle device is technically capable of displaying are locked to iOS/Android Kindle app only, etc. Publishers meddling in spaces they don't understand.

- Stagnation of the eInk device market. Since the Kindle DX 5 years ago, I can "upgrade" to a much smaller device to get a backlight or snappier refresh, but my only choice for a similar or larger device lacks both, costs $800, and because it's from Sony can't do Kindle books and may already be a dead platform.

- Difficult if not impossible to lend books. This isn't just about saving money; the chances of a friend reading a book based solely upon a recommendation are much lower than the chances of them reading a book that you place in their hands, simply because of the lower initiative barrier.

That said I prefer ebooks for the majority (by volume) of my reading, more so for fiction than non-fiction. Or, factoring that a bit, I prefer ebooks for light or recreational reading and physical books for more focused or technical reading. This may be related to the limitations of eInk devices, though, since larger displays, faster refresh/annotation, and meta-reading features are more important for technical reading than for linear fiction.
For years total available RAM could easily exceed the install size of entire and entire game thanks to consoles holding everything back.

And by exceeded I mean the games were 32-bit binaries so the ram left over was enough to cache the entire game data set even in light of RAM used by the game.

Recently install size seems to have grown quite a bit.

ha, this is perfect. love it. sharing
If Dropbox's API was RESTful would that save me any time using Google's competing API?

If Dropbox's API was RESTful, you'd be able to use Google by only switching the initial URL - which could even be configurable by the user, or auto-discovered from the website.

When you start playing with the APIs from lots of different cloud storage folks (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive) you see that they vary widely in concepts and capabilities.

They don't vary _widely_ in concepts and capabilities, they add a layer on top of the same concepts (files, directories, upload/download, get public URL), and REST allows you to support generic and specific clients easily, by either using extensible or multiple media types.

Also Dropbox's old API was REST and it doesn't seem more portable

It resembled REST, but it wasn't. A good way to tell: if you need a documentation page with a list of all the URLs you can call, it's probably not RESTful.
