Perhaps something like a modified PostgREST could work?

ooh, forgot to mention...there's also a fully distributed setup that's coming soon (well, already here...removed b/c I'm re-coding it). The original multi-node (UDP) stack came from a summer research student. It functioned, but not that well. Since I'm spending time optimizing that, I'm also adding container support so remote kernels will operated inside a container w/a common file system view. Another difference I probably didn't mention is that there is an instrumentation package that monitors the actual non-blocking service rate in real time (well, as real time as you can be across multiple clocking domains). The acyclic graph structure is awesome for using things like non-blocking service rate to optimize placement, make parallelization choices, etc. My original interest was using this framework for my online optimization work. Basically I've been using support vector machines and neural networks to select models and make buffer sizing decisions....

"There was no pizza delivery. Even supermarkets had much less pre-made food, so people had to at least try to cook."

Eau contraire, in 1976 I was delivering J&B's pizza to save up for college.

And our freezer was filled with TV dinners. We had 'TV Trays'. Today, we have trays for our notebook computers: http://www.aliexpress.com/popular/notebook-computer-stands.h...

I use express because it is the most barebones solution before vanilla http/https. The middleware API is trivial and relatively agnostic (most just expect node-style req/res objects and a `next(err?)` callback). The router does what it is supposed to and allows nesting.

However I would likely chose something different if my needs were different. If I wanted to implement REST APIs in Node I would use Hapi. If I wanted to build more complex web apps I might look into Koa (although I don't think I'll ever move back to classic server-only rendered apps).

Express is my JS equivalent of Ruby's Sinatra and Python's Flask. Nothing more, nothing less.

Addendum: I wouldn't say "everyone" has switched to Koa. Koa was handicapped by its conceptual overhead for most ordinary express users in its early days (relying on a combination of generators and promises -- both not yet sufficiently widely established and understood technologies at the time -- to build coroutines, which even fewer people understood). It has improved and the JS community seems to have caught up (just look what's going on with the Redux ecosystem -- "thunks" and "sagas" (essentially built around coroutines) are beginning to see some traction). But it didn't initially deliver the same "read this tutorial, start building apps" experience express had.
Thanks for the post. I have used corenlp in my personal project and it does a good job in sentiment analysis. sentiment analysis is not an easy thing to get right.
His internet habits have come to pass for a few reasons.

He is extremely security conscious. He doesn't like "active" content and so uses a script to download the web pages he wants to read for later browsing from an off-network computer. This has nothing to do with the license status of the JavaScript. Do you run IE? Or do you run Firefox or Chrome with ad blocking?

He prefers not to trade personal information to pay for access to communications platforms that have little additional utility to e-mail from his perspective. I'd disagree that this is detached from reality. He just doesn't hang out in the same bar as you.

Regarding the GCC, he's made a calculated trade-off of modularity and simplicity for the sake of the GPL's "walled city" of free software. Complecting for effect, if you will.

As for his opinion of non-copyleft software, I think you'd need to qualify your "can't work" phrase. I say this because I think he's absolutely right if we qualify the phrase as "can't work to protect consumer's long-term freedom." I would disagree with your characterization if you are claiming RMS thinks that only copy-left licensed software can be successful. I'm fairly sure RMS sees both Windows and Mac OS X as harmful successes.
I'm sorry, but this is profoundly naive. If the name "Richard Stallman" weren't attached to it, you wouldn't have watched this video.

The world doesn't have time for everyone to deploy their own server. I mean, honestly, ask yourself if you even have time to do this, or if it's just yet another project that's going to get piled on top of the Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black you have sitting in your projects box. Plus, everyone operating their own server is an indescribably large security catastrophe waiting to happen. IoT is a perfect example of this. Those exact same massive companies opaquely hosting your data struggle with security issues on a daily basis and even they can't always get it right.

The answer to data autonomy is end-to-end encryption. Full stop. We need a protocol that gives exact, one-to-any (one-to-none, one-to-one, one-to-many) control over sharing. That can be enforced cryptographically. It would be nice if that same protocol also had a consensus algorithm for data deletion, so we could avoid this whole "right to be forgotten" vs "free speech" debate.

There is at least one example of such a protocol. I know, because I'm the one developing it [1], and I've been incredibly frustrated at how difficult it's been to build awareness, because my name isn't, for example, Richard Stallman.

Think about it in the abstract.

Country X and country Y are trading partners.

Country X wants concession A from Y, who in turn wants concession B from X. They agree to trade concessions and encode it in a treaty.

For several years, X and Y enjoy the economic benefits of those concessions.

Then X passes a law that vitiates, say, 50% of the economic benefit of concession B. It is now free-riding off Y; Y is giving it concession A, but X is only giving 50% of concession B owing to the law that contravenes the treaty.

Y is entitled to make a claim for damages. Not to change the law (treaties don't work that way), but rather to make and resolve the argument of the form "I am giving you (A) and you're only giving me 0.5(B); make up the difference in cash."
It is much easier to make significant headway by understanding a smaller vocabulary well rather than a larger one relatively poor. It will require some ingenuity but usually a description of the word you're looking for will prompt the 'natives' to supply the missing word, which you can then add to your vocabulary in that particular context. It's a bootstrapping process. Knowing complicated words and terms before you've mastered the simpler ones is in my opinion a wrong allocation of resources.
Relations of patterns are patterns too. A potential for recursive reuse?
That theory wouldn't explain why all of my other such summaries have done so well though.
I hate pay walls. Why is this even on HN. And also what a garbage headline.
In Message Board Law, anything "can be argued", but it remains not the case that the TPP overrides local laws.

How do you think it would even work, for a trade treaty to override a law in New Zealand? Is the idea that the US would invade New Zealand to revoke the law at the RIAA's behest?

Assuming the foreign government in question actually decides to pursue action, more than one country has a history of ignoring WTO rulings not in their favor, despite their obligation to obey them.

Why would the TPP be different?

I think the TPP is not a great thing, but talking about foreign governments overriding local law is somewhat of a exaggeration.

>Do you realize that this makes no sense whatsoever? How many people do you know that would give up beer for a year if they knew that beer was going to be twice as cheap next year?

Okay, let's replace beer with cars. How many people wait until someone else has driven the car off the lot to buy it? In 2010, 2.5x more used cars were sold than new cars. Imagine if no one bought new cars, though. Eventually, no one would be able to buy used cars either.

Beer is a bad example because it's cheap enough that people don't do the math. Once you get into very large purchases, like cars, houses, or productive capital, companies can (and do) factor inflation/deflation into their profitability calculations. If a refinery will cost half as much next year, and the amount of money it will produce for you this year is less than half its price tag this year, you will wait to buy it until next year. Otherwise, you'll end up less profitable than the person who bought in a year later, who can then out-compete you, only to be out-competed by the person who bought in the year after that, and so on.

> This doesn't make sense, because each product has its own growth curve: https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/620814301289316352/photo/1 So even if you inflate at the average growth of all prices, you still are not accurately tracking any particular product.

"Solved" is a strong word - inflation matching growth is the most practical solution currently. You could produce a more "correct" solution by giving each commodity its own currency, but that's clearly impractical.
This creates an extra-governmental wealth transfer mechanism.

Again, all you have to do is find an example of a trade treaty exacting ruinous settlements over local laws. It should be easy for you to cite a source.
It is a fallacy to assume that purchases will be deferred just because they have the prospect of being less expensive in the future. If that was the case, no one would be using credit; they would just defer their expenses until they could pay cash and forgo the interest.

The author has conflated a couple of things. That is the exact opposite of how OSS works. The reason why the majority need to adopt is purely from a "one true coin" standpoint—there is nothing stopping forks or new alt coins from spinning out.

Platform Cooperativism vs. The Sharing Economy
You are either unlucky or doing something very weird then.
The page is compressing the three-step process[0] for overriding local prerogative into one step. Perhaps this is disingenuous but your implication that step 1 doesn't imply steps 2 and 3 are likewise disingenuous.

At any rate, I'd urge everyone to take a look at Brad Delong's critique of the TPP[2], which focuses heavily on the dispute resolution process. Surely we can all agree that he knows a little more about international economics than the average HN poster?

[0]:
Step 1) Pass an international treaty with a corporate/government dispute resolution process.
Step 2) Get sued for having non-mandated local laws, lose, and receive expensive economic sanctions.
Step 3) "Regrettably" change local laws to conform to the agreement.

This is analogous to Sir Humphey's three-step process for dealing with international crisis: 1) Nothing's going to happen. 2) Something may happen but there's nothing we can do. 3) Perhaps there was something we could have done but it's too late now.

Boost::optional. What to do when you have no value
> That's not at all how the TPP works.

No. That's exactly how it's going to work in real life: The weaker parties (countries) will get sucked through legalize gibberish and the local governments will have no power over some corporation. So instead of serving the public good, they will have to serve some corp. This is not the reason they were elected though - I see this happening as we speak and it's not going to stop in my country, unfortunately. The TPP is just a trojan horse, nothing more.

This is going to be exactly like the UN: It will work when the stronger parties want it to work (US, China, Russia, etc.) and will not work when choose to bypass it without excuses.

The point is that you, the taxpayer, even if you don't care about space, has to spend less of your cash than the comparable ways of putting stuff up. Quite a lot less.
The best solution is to teach people how to think and not what to think.

We need to promote reason, promote awareness of cognitive biases (as a result of our evolutionary past), and rid ourselves of this notion that "standing up for what you believe" (regardless of its validity) is somehow a virtue.
Not sure due to the paywall.
> The treaty doesn't allow foreign governments to "override" local laws, but rather allows for damage claims against the governments themselves if they enact and enforce laws contrary to the agreements in the TPP itself.

Distinction without a difference? Unless you're saying it's the companies that "override" the laws, not foreign govs. Then I agree. But the more important point is that the "overriding" happens anyway.
Robot arms are a complex control problem all on their own. To catch the rocket they'd have to be very fast, and very precise. At the same time, the rocket's control loops already have only a very small margin for error. A small miss by either system and you have a much higher chance of failure.

In terms of a net, I imagine something that's lying on the deck under tension between four bendy rods. When the rocket is close enough, the rods snap over to the other side, furling the rocket in the net and holding it more or less steady.
Yeah, I'm not so sure. All it takes is an intelligent agent that has trained in a VR environment accidentally released into a RL environment and do something crazy - like kill someone. That will be a taste of things to come.

Deep Mind is training computers to WIN in virtual environments right now. What if they train them against simulation of real world environments instead of video games? What if a computer discovers that blowing something up is a way to get a 'higher score'? What if they accidentally get pushed to production?

It's war games / bostrom's paper clip monstrosity. it can happen.

Arguably, it may have already happened in a flash crash. Create a simulation of a stock exchange, train a computer to win the market, it discovers that crashing the market to makes lots of money, gets pushed to production.

The rhetoric in that snippet grosses me out.

The first half of the sentence is essentially "granting" the country the ability to make its own laws. It can't grant that, those powers pre-exist the agreement, and therefore it's an empty statement. The only purpose of it is to make the second half of the sentence - the one that removes powers - more palatable.

The semantically equivalent sentence without that rhetorical dance is: "A party may only make laws that are consistent with this agreement".
My apologies Thomas; my EDIT was not directed at you (just in general). I've seen you write long enough on HN that I know that's not your style (downvote for disagreement).

Perhaps. But, then, here I am replying to someone who is sharing essentially the same experience in the modern Linux era.
You may be right, but this comment doesn't help the reader understand why, and the indignation is static in the channel. It would be better to edit that out, then add in specific information about why each of those things is wrong. Then we all learn something.
>I cannot find data, but let's guess that it's 10 more years before 1% of households in the US have cars. That would have meant about 500,000 cars.

Ford produced 500,000 Model T's from 1908-1914, and 500,000 in 1916 alone. While they didn't all sell in the US, with 1.3 million T's produced, it's safe to say they sold half a million cars in the US by 1916.

That bumps your 40 year estimate down to 30.
Nicely put. Very nicely put.

I don't know how you came up with "disdainful"; it's more sort of sad and weary as I read it now. After all, I started with "Beats me" - such a decision would have to be very local. The first rule of 'C' is "don't use 'C'" these days... the people I know DON'T swagger; that was my point.

The "professionals" vs. "enthusiasts" divide is extremely interesting in all fields of endeavor. I'm definitely on the "professional" side.

I... don't think 'C' programmers are "above any norm"; they just sort of know where the rocks are right under the surface of the water. It's more difficult to explain than to do. If a bunch of people misrepresent themselves as ... badass because they sling 'C', I can't help that. The appropriate mentality for it is one of caution. I specifically called that out here...

It also matters less because coding a system is roughly 5-10% of the actual cost of most deployed systems. Language matters much less than mechanism.

Meanwhile, the worst horrors are inflicted using systems like SAP.

Don't feel too sorry for me; I use at least three language systems every day, and have messed with ... dozens ( all resulting in deployed code at some level) , including graphical CASE tools.
Excellent example! Thank you!

Sovereign immunity is waived in case of monetary damages, so I believe they already can. Nor is there any reason why in principle they shouldn't, if the inverse is permitted.
It's not rhetoric. Rhetoric is persuasive language. The language of a treaty is technical, not persuasive.
