Much of the "hatred" seems to come from those who have a lot of preconceived notions about Perl (either 5 or 6). However, I look at the people who approach the language with curiosity and no baggage, and the reactions I often see range from "that's cool" to "holy shit, that's cool."
Regarding you second point, I am not sure I see the value of saying "Buddhism is not a religion if you ignore the religious bits"... you might well say that about any religion.

Key difference is, the founders and leaders of Judaism and Islam claim to have believed in God. The Buddha did not. A lot of us identify a deity as being core to the idea of being a religion.

That's not to say that sects haven't developed and diverged from the initial beliefs, perhaps in order to build their own communities (or empires). But these are later developments than the teachings set forth by Siddhartha Gautama.
This is actually a fork of Coffescript that used Python-inspired syntax.
This train of thought leads me back to software practices where all features exist in the software, but the level of license you pay for unlocks certain features (that are already installed), so if you allow hacking of the control module, you could theoretically unlock features you hadn't paid for... this would be a major concern for the developer.
Doesn't a "famous person" die almost every day?
those are just the stats. Metastatic cancer is almost always fatal with an average survival of 2 years. That shows why more progress need to be made.
That's how a lot of actual medical devices work.

I worked on an anesthesia machine where the control systems were implemented with micro controllers and RTOS. The UI was Windows Embedded running on a separate x86 board and the whole thing would still safely operate even if the UI subsystem crashed. There were completely mechanical backup controls too.
I can't find the exact cost. The Washington Post says that it might have been more.

Sure, but when the other option is "stop farming", what would you have them do? The typical farmer doesn't know how to build a tractor from scratch, just as the typical car-owner doesn't know how to reproduce a Honda Accord.
I appreciate the straightforward and simple website that gets right to the point.
It's ridiculous that this is the top comment.
Eh... there's some value, it's just really badly implemented currently.

A selling idea of the Nest is that it keeps your house warm when you're there, and not-frozen when you're not, and it will do so efficiently, so that the house is warm when you arrive home but not long before.

Now of course you can just turn up the heating as you walk in the door wait a few minutes to heat up, it won't hurt. But if technology can do it reliably, there's clearly some value. Compare, for instance, lighting a candle when you get home with just flicking the switch for those newfangled electric lights. The candle works but the technology is more convenient.

Of course, electricity doesn't give you failwhales these days, and there's a bit more engineering involved than "move fast and break things."
The GP's point is that you should specifically say metastatic cancer if you want to cite that statistic, not generalize it to cancer.
I wonder how Apple will spin this. Are they going to say they stepped away from iAds because it was a conflict of interest with the "moral contract" they had with their users or are they going to admit the truth and say it was a financial failure.
Well, it's a stretch, but when I saw Die Hard I just barely caught the BSD reference when they log into the CEO's terminal. I found a screen shot on flickr:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/armenws/9516176127/

That's a pretty hackerish reference for a film made in 1988 that wasn't particularly about computers or tech. There was probably a BSD fan at the company that created the computer screens. FreeBSD 9.2 had a tribute to this in it's boot screen:

I can't upvote this enough. You made the point way better than I did above.
Yes but you're also able to focus on the words made up entirely of 'x'. I don't think you can really judge the effect because 1) it's not the same effect here and 2) you already know about it now.
Why? He said tech support, the link given has a number for tech support. Seems pretty similar. Honeywell also has a wifi smart thermostat that is controlled by an iPhone app and competes with the Nest.

Seems pretty damn similar.
Yes, but to most consumers, buying a vehicle (car, tractor, etc) isn't a "software sale".

The "sale that's really a lease/licensing deal" is a fairly new construct, at least as it relates to consumer goods that aren't obviously "software".

Nicely done, though I would have loved to have seen some build pictures. There are a number of commercial players in this market (for example https://frm.fm/) which combine hardware and marketplace, and the geek in me would love to see these succeed.

I work in e-commerce selling art reproductions and have thought a lot about this. I believe as soon as you make the art ephemeral or changeable, its value (to you, rather than monetary) is diminished and it simply becomes a means of displaying pixels.

I jumped at the chance to digitise my music collection, I just can't imagine doing the same for visual art.
Yes, but there is also a theory that celebs die in three's which is pretty interesting. A lot of researchers say this is because we as humans love patterns:

“Patterns in death, patterns in misfortune – those are things that help us try to understand the universe or reality in a way that makes sense of it,” explains John Hoopes, a professor of anthropology at the University of Kansas who has written about the concept for Psychology Today. “In general, we’re very uncomfortable dealing with randomness.”

CAD will never be a solved problem space because ultimately it's the wrong problem space.

The name of the blog shows why. The CAD problem space is an extension of "lines" as the design medium. It's implicitly premised on humans in the loop and creating human interpretible as a precursor to the artifact. There's an intermediate step that isn't strictly necessary and the CAD problem lives in that intermediate step.

To put it another way, if I want a widget and I have the GCode and a 3D printer I'm pretty much done. I've bypassed the CAD space and more importantly it doesn't matter whether the GCode was generated via a DWG at some point or a computer program generated it directly without human intervention after searching through a million images from the internet.

That kind of approach, however, is a problem for companies like Autodesk because without humans in the loop their product lines are obsolescent and Wall Street unhappy with management. The CAD industry depends on continuous rather than quantum change, because the obvious quantum change eliminates seats and with it per seat revenue models.

Funny enough, I do this as well (OpenBSD but with dnsmasq for easier DHCP/DNS integration). At the time I was having the DHCP issue, I had my OpenBSD router behind my ISP's router in order to preserve some cable box functionality. I also kept "untrusted" devices like the Nest using that router.

I've since ditched my cable boxes and thus the ISP router and now just have untrusted devices in a separate VLAN walled off from my other networks.

You're exactly right. "Diagnostic level" of testing would tell you the difference between 120 and 121 bpm. Fitbit would read 85 bpm. That's not even close to right, which means it's completely useless for what it's marketed as.

The issue I have with that is that it screws up minorities.

There's likely always going to be a minority that wants or needs to fix their own tractor(or car) or have an independent 3. party fix it.

If that minority is objectively insignificant - well fine.
If that minority is 20% of all tractor (or car) owners, the manufacturers can switch to a lease model, and screw over 20% of the customers, those can either give in or give up farming or driving - most won't.

The point is that those 20% might not be enough to sustain a new vendor coming into the market to cater to them. With our current model the 80% that don't care can pay their vendor to fix stuff, the 20% that cares can do it themselves or help support independent mechanics.

Which means with the current model all consumers win, which I'm generally in favor of over a system that maxes profit to big vendors at the expense of minorities.

I don't think it's fair to say Guatama was an atheist, at least in the common-use definition of the word. He doesn't teach about an almighty creator God, but there are plenty of unimaginably powerful, vast, supramundane beings that he interacts with in the Buddhist canon that your average atheist would deny the existence or possibility of.

The thing is, it may not be a design fault, but an improperly built part from a supplier that botched it with cost cutting measures. The production samples Renault received were probably glorious and will work for centuries, only to have the production run substitute a cheaper material that is "functionally equivalent".
There was a political problem. The interstates were spending truly ungodly sums of money in rural area; the whole system cost something like $400 billion - $500 billion in inflation adjusted dollars. If you were a city, your residents--who tended to be wealthier than rural areas--were footing the bill and getting nothing in return except maybe somewhat lower shipping costs.

So what's a politician to do? Easy: extend the highways to cities. In the 1950s the thought was that cars were going to lead us to a glorious future, free from congestion on public transit, so urban leaders gladly paved over their downtowns. There were (and still are) huge subsidies for suburban areas, and other fears were that without these highways cities would be irrelevant as everyone moved to the suburbs and jobs eventually moved with them.

In the wake of the planning failures of the 50s and 60s with regards to highways cities moved huge amounts of planning powers to hyperlocal areas and requiring environmental reviews, stopping all the highway nonsense. Unfortunately, it created a new villain in the form of the newly empowered NIMBY.

Estimation is just educated guessing. If you were guessing a non-randomly generated number, and you found you were guessing high every single time, wouldn't you eventually try reducing by orders of magnitude?

Team members do get sick, scope tends to sprawl, and life just generally gets in the way; but good estimation includes a buffer. Under-promise and over-deliver, at least until you figure out what you're doing.

I've seen those generalists left out in the cold when it comes time to focus and scale.

A particular subclass of this problem: the person who heads up your (pick a department randomly) Marketing from e.g. your seed round through your Series B is a) likely to be young and on-paper unprepared to run a Marketing department with 10 direct reports, b) likely to have a perceived lack of gravitas, c) likely to lack industry connections. Your VC fund and/or senior management may decide to bring in someone More Appropriate For The Role when you need a Director of Marketing.

This presents a dilemma: what happens to the person who built your entire marketing strategy when someone has just been brought in to own the entire marketing department going forward? Is new person going to report to them? No, that's an obvious non-starter. Are they going to report to new person? A surprising number of people would prefer to not have perceived issues with the existing team (most of whom were, after all, hired by the existing employee) deferring to that person rather than their new titular boss.

This is a time at which you either pray you are listed as a founder of the company or the founders are willing to go to the mattress for you, because otherwise the outcome is "Thanks for your service; best of luck in your next job."

One can interpret certain suttas as showing the Vipassana noting technique, but it's not explicitly pointed out in an instructional way, so it's hard to say if it's not a later interpretation of the text used to justify a newer practice that developed in Burma and Sri Lanka.

The explanation Goenka gives is that the technique of noting was passed down from teacher to teacher all the way back to the Buddha, but of course every tradition says this about every technique so it can be hard to verify.

You're engaging in some very slippery semantics.

To say Gautama was an atheist is to push onto history a distinction that had yet to be invented. He was very much a participant in the spiritual / religious frameworks of the time, and rejection of certain aspects of those frameworks does not necessarily make you an apostate or unreligious or atheistic.

> There was no one ordained by him or any religion proclaimed by him on his name.

Jesus ordained nobody either. Nor did he ever proclaim a religion. All that came later.

If Buddhism isn't a religion, Christianity isn't either. Buddhism has teachings, mythology, places of worship, specific means of prayer, (meditation, anybody who says meditation isn't prayer has never really prayed) holy books, priests, and a thriving metaphysical dialogue. It walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, water rolls down its back like a duck.

Junctions are insanely useful once you get used to them and I use them frequently. Basically, any time you have a list and you're worried the properties of any, all, or none of the list members (hmm, just about all lists), then junctions are often a very clean way of expressing the issue.

if all(@ages) >= 18 {
# let 'em in the club
}

Or:

if any(@ages) < 18 {
# don't let 'em in the club
}

Or:

if none(@ages) < 18 {
# don't let 'em in the club
}

So I use logic like the above quite a bit, however, there are plenty of areas where the above can be better if it's deeply integrated into the language. In this case, as already mentioned, it's auto-threading where appropriate. That's not an easy feature to get right if it's not baked into the language, but it's a huge win if done right.

Perl 6 also has gradual typing baked in. Other languages have gradual typing as a library, but that often fails dramatically (http://blog.circleci.com/why-were-no-longer-using-core-typed...). In Perl 6, because it's built-in, not only are the failures described something Perl 6 can avoid, but there are also plenty of type checks Perl 6 can avoid at run time with integrated gradual typing (imagine that benefit in hot loops).

You could even combine that with native junction auto-threading and presumably have super-fast comparisons where the needs for checking types is eliminated at run time because it's already been done at compile time. If you do that with libraries, it's awfully tricky to get right, if not impossible.
