Interestingly, even though the node.js community is growing quickly and has a lot of great tools, I think your options are mainly Sails.js and Meteor.

Meteor, imho, focuses much more efforts around building shiny things to convincing new developers to try it out. It has gained a reputation of being a great framework for writing hello world in 60 seconds, but not for building real business applications. Sails is a great tool, but unfortunately is dying, as evidenced by the attitude of the creators (who have moved on to work on other things), and the multiple articles on hackernews and elsewhere discussing whether it is dying. That answer, obviously, is yes.

It is for these reasons that we (several of the core Sails.js maintainers) decided to invest in building a new framework, where we could offer a Sails-like development experience using modern node.js tools and design practices. If anyone is interested in working with us, we'd be happy to talk with you: https://github.com/trailsjs/trails.
Happy New Year. Let's work towards the best version of ourselves, as long as it isn't taking advantage of others.
>The Indian reservations belong to the US.

Notice how carefully I worded my comment:

>70% of the land is not the U.S. Government's to give.

"The federal Indian trust responsibility is [...] a legally enforceable fiduciary obligation on the part of the United States to protect tribal treaty rights, lands, assets, and resources." [0]

The questions of armies and building bases I'm not sure have been raised, so the legal precedents might not exist. Sufficed to say, however, that the GP's hypothetical sale to Canada would be wholly infeasible in light of the treaties between the sovereign tribes and the US, as well as the legal complexities those entail.

It won't be long before my site which literally downloads an entire Windows 95 disk image on every page load will be considered average-sized. It's a mere order of magnitude away.
I think there's huge value in constantly asking if you can improve and asking how you can improve. But the keyword in that sentence is IF.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with considering a change, deciding it isn't a gain for your users, and then NOT doing it. It may not be a glamorous call, it may not be a resume item, but that's real product management right there.
>money today is worth less than money in the future

The marginal utiliity decreases with increase in the money. So if you have less money in the future, the value may increase. This is something faulty, I would say.
A recent example of this is buildbot. The current version (8.x) has a very no-frills, utilitarian python/jinja UI which has served me, personally, and many other open source projects well (chromium, mozilla, LLVM, etc). Version 9 is a rewrite two years in the making using angular with the modern JS toolchain for its frontend. I tried out the latest (beta) build, and from what I can see I think it's exactly what you describe: more resources with less functionality. Time will tell whether the final version lives up to its promises but I'm very skeptical at this point.
I'm genuinely confused: how can you develop a new database without a technical co-founder? I mean they clearly pulled it off but how did they even start?
Browsers are really, really good at rendering vanilla HTML.

Amen, brother. HTML, for all its layout flaws, is a gift to us developers. The fact we are moving away from leveraging the raw parsing and updating functionality written in C/C++ is a travesty.
I think it's about being correlated to following orders, discipline, doing things even if you don't understand the reason. In the middle of battle, you're trained to trust and can use those skills...?
Two approaches:

1. If you're interested in running a shiny server, use http://rstudio.github.io/shinydashboard/! I have used it to build professional high quality dashboards VERY quickly.

2. You can use an API server like Domino's API end points or OpenCPU to expose R APIs and build the interface using JavaScript at plot.ly! This really can be incredibly elegant and you can do really neat dynamic dashboards.

I would not subscribe to the statement about what "the evolution says". Evolution does not produce the "best" individuals, it just drives population towards a local maximum in their particular environment, from their particular starting point. And that may mean a long life span or a short life span.

This reads mostly as "people wanting swift to be something different than what it is"
Ah, no, that's not what I meant with that second bit; I was referring mostly to not having a <head> in your HTML, thus making your HTML less of a "document" and more just a free stream of bits of text with an <html> tag there purely to indicate what you should be parsing these as. (You don't even need that if you've sent a Content-Type, but removing it means you can't save the document because OSes+browsers are dumb and make no place for media-type metadata on downloaded files.)

Things that go in the <body> like "top navs" and "sidebars" actually are actually part of the resource-representation; it's just a compound "Page" resource that they're properly a part of. /posts/3 should get you "a post"; /pages/posts/3 (or whatever else you like) should get you "a web page containing a post."

But when you do use the "<head>-less" style, and are requesting a non-compound resource more like /posts/3, then a wonderful thing happens where you get literally no indentation in the resulting linted document. No recursive "block-level" structure; just single top-level block elements (<h1>, <blockquote>, <p>, and <addr> mostly) that transition to containing inline-reflowed text. It's quite aesthetically pleasing!
Do you take vacations? It's important to demonstrate what happens when you're not around.

Definitely true, and many times there are clauses preventing you from selling to a 3rd party before IPO anyway.
Well in a sense that is swift-evolution.
Maybe. Or maybe you just aren't interested that much in C++ and don't care if some Scott Meyers guy retires. Or maybe you are very much into C++ world and surely know who is Scott Meyers, but it suffices for you to be notified that he "retires".

That's why titles exist, after all: to give you an idea if you actually want to proceed.

Why will companies pay more when the labor supply will increase? The same company that was hiring foreign workers to save a buck won't pay extra to retain that worker. That company will now hire other entry level foreign workers who they can pay peanuts instead, who they can now hire because another company isn't holding their visa hostage anymore.
Shaving is a luxury in the field, but it is a tell tale for essentials. Being shaven means the soldiers have both the resources and time necessary to attend their hygiene. A lack of hygiene is often far more dangerous than combat [1]. Shaving is also something many young soldiers do not feel strictly necessary. They do it because they are told so to do. Therefore it is a mark of some basic discipline.

Look at historic pictures of soldiers under continuous stress. Not shaving is the first thing you'll notice.

[1] Up until the Korean conflict, far more soldiers were killed by disease than contact with the enemy. That changed with anitbiotics and better field medicine (think MASH) but disease remains a serious threat.
That is great to know!

Is opencpu something you recommend for production? I'm just starting to work with analysts who work in R, and I have struggled with the question whether we should wrap existing R code as an api...or port to python.

Low volume right now, so not really concerned with performance... But rather that can R deployment play nicely with things like supervisord,etc in production

We ported from Sails to Hapi and Sequelize several months ago. The issues with Sails have been covered exhaustively. (Finding a third SQL injection vulnerability in the default behaviour of Sails+Wuterline, as we lovingly nicknamed it, was the final straw for us.) We have zero regrets.
How often are you really making characters? Single quote for unescaped string literals is used way more often in my world and it's a feature of ruby, base et al. and other languages. Character("X") isn't that bad for something used minimally.
I discovered a moderately old video from CloudFlare hiding in there, and had a rather big TIL moment.

It's one thing to read "LuaJIT is one of the fastest dynamic languages" etc blah blah on http://luajit.org/luajit.html ...

...it's quite another to learn that EVERY SINGLE CLOUDFLARE REQUEST - all 4 million/sec of them - goes through a LuaJIT-based attack detection system.

Yes, Windows 95 run on 4MB RAM, Windows 2000 on 64MB. Than the bloat came, and nowadays Windows 10 looks more blant and has reduced UI than ever and still requires and runs as slow as Windows 7 which had a lot of themes and transparent effects and a rather modern and nice interface. No wonder several parts of the interface like the startmenu are now in dotNet. It was already a major mistake that lead to the restart of the Longhorn project which became Vista - the former dotNet based Explorer and shell and WinFS all were dotNet applications and very slow. I run WinFS beta 2 on WinXP on an high end PC at that time and it was promising but aweful slow. Instead of adding the database-like features to NTFS driver (parts of the object features from Cairo project are still there), they added an filesystem filter driver in userland and a dotNet service. Needless to say that idiotic design and relying on dotNet for a mission critical component never worked out. Vista shipped with an improved WinXP desktop search.
Thanks, I know alpha release for trails is in the next few days, when do you expect to have a production release? I know trails is supposed to have a pack that allows you to use it with current sails codebases, how well baked do you expect that to be? Will anything in the sails codebase that goes beyond the simple controllers, models, services, config need to be refactored? For example: custom blueprints, sails hooks, code based on model definitions pulled from sails config, etc.
I was pretty rude in the other comment and now it's too late to edit it. Thanks for offering your perspective, it's cool to hear from someone close to that situation; and it's cool to hear the perspective of a non-engineer, non-business person in Silicon Valley.
I saw some devs who slap a JQuery plugin there, another plugin there and so on and various other third party JS libraries. And then the page load involves 1MB.

Or SaaS websites that have a single-page web app with a 4MB JS file. And their user interface looks like designed by an committee. The single page web app has a long loading time, looking with DevTools it turned out it's a GWT+Ember ugly monster, that was slapped onto their old rusty Eclipse based Java product. The little information they can show is shown on a 7-times nested navigation page structure so they can advertise it as "drill down" whereas competitors show all info on a maximum of 2-3 times nested pages, and most info is visible without a single click. And the bad one is very much into enterprise with a huge sales stuff, the better competitor is a SaaS-only company.
SEO: the witch doctors of the web

But seriously: those guys at Google know how to show relevant results. Make your results relevant and don't do anything stupid like block googlebot, and it'll work.
Why would pedophiles have any more difficulty controlling sex drive than anyone else? That, to me, is precisely the kind of irrational BS the author is trying to counteract.

How many straight or gay adults have raped, cheated, had one night stands, to satisfy a sexual need? Countless. The sex drive is enormously powerful.

Now imagine you could never ethically satisfy that drive. Ever. While meanwhile being constantly wracked by shame and guilt every time it asserts itself.

This isn't an excuse to abuse, obviously. But its absurd to assume pedophiles have a stronger or weaker sex drive than anyone else, or that they're uniquely incapable of restraining themselves from abusing others to satisfy it.
Itrace v1.3 released
You're assuming that different people have identical preferences. They don't. Some are more price-sensitive, while others are more interested in quality, which can itself be broken down into any number of specific factors about competing services. This is totally rational behavior, in the economic sense of the word.
BTW, I find your "freedom at work" argument compelling.

Disclosure is not something I want to see ignored. With it in place, we may well find the rest of the idea behind Citizens United play out in workable ways. I'm not extreme in these things, just civic minded and the current dynamics do not have enough checks and balances to make longer term sense.

The same goes for corporations as people. So far, those who support that like the good parts, like speech. But, what about the other parts of being a person, like liability, accountability.

We have a lot of work to do yet on that one.
Nice to see that WAF, being python is competitive. It goes to show that smart can beat brawn.
Probably 1/3 of the time I travel from YVR I am put on a plane with a different tail than the airline I booked through. I pay for "Air Canada to SFO" but end up getting a United flight. So I've given up trying to figure out exactly which airline I am flying with.

(I actually really really hate air canada for this. I keep forgetting that I need to go to the united checkin at SFO, not the Air Canada desk which is 11 billion footsteps away at the other end of everything.)
The Week in Bitcoin: Issue 50 – An Awesome Bitcoin Newsletter
That is most likely part of it. Likewise, the current structure of most companies simply cannot function in the face of something being 'done'. Someone has to keep the developers busy for the 40 hours a week they must be in their chairs to get paid. Even if that weren't an issue, you will always have someone who wants a promotion. And they will need to have something to show off to get it. So they will come up with a 'brave new direction' and use sheer force of will to make it happen.

I remember when I first realized that software companies had a fundamental problem with how they handled finished products. BulletProof FTP. It was a magnificent FTP client decades ago. I used it on my dialup connection to practice data hoarding. I paid for it because it was a trustworthy companion in my adventures through the net. But, that turned out to be its ownfall. It was feature-complete and it was excellent (although they never did fix the problem with quick reconnects resulting in a pre-existing binary transfer socket getting picked up for use as the command connection, spamming the thing with random binary data and confusing the hell out of itself and the user...). But clearly, that was unacceptable. They continued to shoehorn in irrelevant crap that nobody wanted. Eventually it got so bad that it wasn't even very good at being an FTP client any more. I've since seen that repeated innumerable times since. A product is completed, but people still have to be kept busy with fake work that destroys everything they built. The fact we still use the structures and ideas designed for factories and assembly lines for modern companies is ludicrous.
These are both untrue.

I'm not aware of a single American individual who gave up their citizenship for politics (and I work in this field).

Secondly, nobody has to give it up if they obtain another citizenship. US government actually makes it hard and expensive to go through this process.
​The 11 Sci-Fi Films That Defined 2015
Oh it does indeed!

Well said, and agreed completely.

One way to get familiar with assembly is to get a development board that can run bare metal code. You could even start with something that isn't x86, but is assembly. Once you complete a driver, game, or some other project in assembly, learning another assembly becomes considerably easier.

There is a mindset involved. You can get it on a 6502, if you want to, but you have to have it in order to make any real sense of assembly language, IMHO.

I have my struggles with this too, but I find it always interesting and fascinating. Goes back to the days of cracking games and opening up licenses on simpler, smaller computers.

I also believe a number of us should maintain and share these skills. It's important for a lot of basic reasons, and those don't have to be piracy, or nefarious malware reasons. It may be as simple and benign as using something we own to do something we want it to do as opposed to what it was originally intended to do.
The sergeant you mentioned was arrested for child molestation, and was universally reviled and hated by his soldiers. Exactly the kind of person that worries about shaving in the field. Counter productive micro managing that misses the point entirely.
Well, I really don't want to turn this into a sales pitch, but that's the exact use case for Domino's API endpoints. Check out http://support.dominodatalab.com/hc/en-us/articles/204173149... for an explanation. If you're interested, drop me an email and I can work up an example project for you. Exposing R algorithms as REST endpoints is exactly what it does quite well.

As for OpenCPU, I know that the guy who wrote it, Jeroen Ooms is genuinely quite brilliant. I know it was his project during his PhD, and I don't know what his plans are for continuing to support it. It's up to you to determine what that means for your "production" needs.
If you've found NoScript handy, try uMatrix.

It's not for the faint-of-heart, but if you know what CSS, cookies, JS, iframes, XHD, and Internet domains are, it'll make sense.

What you get is a matrix -- capabilities across the top, domains (and sites) down the side. Green is enabled, red disabled. You can save values.

Enable what's needed to get a site working, know just what it is you're nuking.

Much goodness to that feel.

This is a solved problem. When a proof is written, you should challenge the proof, not just reassert your intuition.

You are ignoring islander A's view of B's view of C's view of ... Z's view of situation.

Think about 3 islander's, where A thinks "if I have green eyes, then B and C are in a situation equivalent to me not being here, and B sees exactly 1 blue eyed person C, and B knows that 'C sees 0 or 1 blue eyed people, but then C learned that 0 is impossible'"

If Swift's idea was to be a C-like language then it doesn't make any sense to suggest indenting as code-block markers, or to not use 'default' in switch statements

That doesn't sound right. You can pass whatever you want as props to a composite component; you just can't use objects as a list of children in a DOM component, but that's not what you were doing before. When Ryan Florence filed an issue with seemingly your same misconception, we told him the same and never heard back:

They criticized Nathan Grayson of Kotaku for supposedly having relationships with people GamerGate didn't like and writing about them without disclosing said relationships.

Depending on the site you read, it's either a violation of journalism ethics, or GamerGate blowing something out of proportion again. In lieu of a citation, you can google it if you really want.
That reminds me of the story which I believe was posted on here (might've been somewhere else) a year or two back about LG TVs and their interface everybody loves - it was a total accident. LG had (might still have, dunno) a program in place where managers got a bonus for every feature they spearheaded which shipped in a product... this resulted in managers from many different teams shoehorning in whatever they could into the 'Smart TV' interface. There were 2 separate 'app stores', multiple inconsistent interfaces, it was slow as molasses, etc. LG acquired the WebOS team and they adapted WebOS to the LG sets just as an experiment... but someone took one of the TVs they had it running on to a trade show... and everybody absolutely loved it because it was simple, direct, uncluttered, and fast. It caused LG a huge problem because it clashed with their corporate policy that encouraged the other bloated interface.

I honestly think that a lot of companies should seriously re-evaluate how they function. Once a product is perfected, the developers should probably be switched over to being paid "on retainer", so that they continue to get paid but do not have to go into work constantly and maintain a 40 hour work week. Let them work from home, and just require them to be reachable. When maintenance is needed, ping them to do it.
Yes. We're actually pulling ReactLink out completely soon since so few people use it. It's easy to replicate the behavior yourself, anyway.
In other words, you try to inculcate a desire to stay shaved whenever possible, because then you can use whether shaving happens as a metric to get a conservative estimate of a troop's hygiene generally, and this is an important thing to know.
