Completely unrelated to the issue at hand... I had no idea Atom was written in CoffeeScript. I thought it was written in Javascript, which made me positive at the thought of hacking into it.

But this code? Definitely giving me a headache, and my interest went down to zero. There seems to be a meme and unchallenged claim in hacker circles that CoffeeScript is somehow more "readable" and easier to understand.

Allow me to disagree, and I suspect there's quite a few like me. This code is harder to read. I think I understand what the code does, but I can no longer be certain about the language semantics. That introduces needless uncertainty.

And it just broke all my pre-configured and pre-setup JS-tooling. Can't use any of that for this codebase. Just great.

So what's up with people writing applications and projects in NodeJS, a prime JS-environment which supports "all" modern Ecmascript-features, classes included, and then decide to go use a non-standard language for their app?

And for what gains? How did Coffeescript make this code more readable or easier to debug? It didn't. And now you need to debug code compiled from the actual code you wrote. How does that do anything except make everything harder?

TLDR: CoffeeScript seems like a bad choice for just about everything and I can't see why any big project with a desire for contributors would even consider using it.
I wonder if this is why Atom feels so snappy now. It's my main editor as of a few weeks ago because the speed is now good. It used to choke on a 1000 line rails controller, but now it edits that file just perfectly.

Congratulations to the author, great commit! Small payload, enormous benefits.
Well, regex101 [1], linked in the article, detects it, so it's definitely possible. Whether that code is open, or it's easy to replicate, is another matter.

There's no need for an ISO image. Just prepare the system on either bare metal or a virtual machine, then tar the entire disk to a file, transfer and feed that file to dd instead. Of course, make sure you use the same (or smaller, but you'll have to claim unused space later) disk size, and be careful when choosing partition table type and aligning partitions.
>Nim adds its own Nim-based GC library behind the scenes. In fact, it supports multiple GCs (which can be changed via the --gc flag).

I will be spending some time reading about this, since it's definitely the most disruptive aspect to Nim, considering that GC in a systems language is not a "solved problem" in general. Coming from C and C++ I'd most need to know exactly how the GC was working to be comfortable with the idea.

It seems that BEKANT has a 10yr warranty in the USA as well, but what's more crazy to me is that you can offer products without any warranty in the USA at all. In the EU, 2 years warranty is the legal minimum, during the first six months of which the manufacturer has to prove that you caused the damage, and during the remaining 18 months you have to prove that it was damaged from the start (reversal of the burden of proof). That's the absolute minimum that's legally allowed, most manufacturers don't make use of the reversal of the burden of proof and will cover reasonable claims anyway. It's probably just too expensive to verify proof ;)

Oh and I also have a BEKANT at work and never had any issues with it. I honestly don't understand the review that was linked in the article. I use it with a different table top which was a complete non-issue to attach if you have a drill.

No, nobody should be put off taking on any bug. I hugely appreciate the fact that different people are up for different challenges and, therefore, with enough people, bugs should be fixable. Your ethos appears to be 'some bugs are just boring and not important enough; never bother fixing them'.
What you can do in Antarctica is fairly limited (by international treaty) - unless you want front row seats for when the treaties run out in 2048.
The Micropython board is pretty expensive (25€), porting it to to cheap ESP8266 (10% of the price) would make Python a top language for IoT.

Plus it provides interactive shell on a micro-controller.

It was a big part of my news in the past too. But I started hating the attitude and snarkiness that overtook the site. People lost the art of discussing and debating things and instead focussed on too-often repeated memes and abuse. Honestly, I fond Hacker News and never went back. I actually think I had forgotten it even existed until this post. As for SourceForge ... good riddance to that malware infested cesspit.
I regularly check job offerings in Antarctica, but the openings are few and the competition is fierce. I think you'll have a really hard time getting a job there unless you already work for an organization that does research there.
The same could be said of gitorious.org shutting down, but for the past 8 months it's been inaccessible by the Web or via git. It's just recently returned as a read-only archive (thanks to archive.org, I believe); they claim that clone URLs should work again now, although I've not had reason to try one yet.

Keep in mind that even with announcements and long shutdowns, many projects would be lost without officially-sanctioned archiving; either because their author has moved on, or they might do all of their project interaction via git commands and never see warnings on the Web interface.
This has to be inflated, I've heard of people trying azure but not actually using it. I've heard from two groups that tried it recently that there were pretty dreadful problems with unexplained outages or unexplained poor IO performance.
Thank you for this very thorough review :)

I agree with many of your points and I will do my best to incorporate them into my book.

The reason I have compared Nim to Python so heavily is for two reasons:

1) I used to be a Python programmer and chose Nim as a replacement.

2) I see a lot of Python programmer's trying out Go and saying describing it as a "better, faster Python". Perhaps that is just a HN illusion. I in turn believe that Nim is far closer to Python than Go will ever be. I am trying to show people that. Perhaps I should be comparing Nim to Go more as well.

Your list of hooks is brilliant. It's hard for someone like me to remember features which make Nim unique since I use it almost every day, so these are really useful. I will see about mentioning some more of those things, in order to hopefully grab more people's attention!

I have heard of Pony but have not had a chance to try it out. Looks promising.

> Another nitpick, in the section on functional programming, why use var instead of let? The immutability story is just as important as first class functions... And you're missing the item (->) in the list of things the modules were imported for...

Will fix, thank you! I have started out using 'var' then changed everything to 'let' (where appropriate), must have missed that one.

Thanks again!

Mistakes You Should Avoid for a Professional Website
This looks pretty cool, know of any production-grade software using it? I remember reading about something like this being used for Docker Compose, can't recollect what exactly that was.
First, good news: The Atom teams is (slowly) moving away from Coffeescript towards modern JS, and I think they'd agree (unofficially) that the choice proved to be a mistake.

Beyond that...

1. The JS world moves stupidly fast, and Coffeescript is a relic of a now-vanished age. It was born, it evolved, and it died. Back in those long ago days of, um, 5 year years ago, there was no ES6, and Coffeescript looked a lot more attractive. So much so, in fact, that ES6 stole a bunch of Coffeescripts better features.

2. If you're familiar with Coffeescript, it's terse and expressive and very readable. If you're not, it looks like gibberish. But that's true of any language. The proper critique of Coffeescript should be "hey, not a lot of potential collaborators know it, so it'll see unreadable to them", not "hey, Coffeescript is generally unreadable". JS is pretty confusing and unreadable if you don't know it too.

Mind you, Atom was released 2 years ago, when Coffeescript was already starting to look dated. And it was an open source project looking for contributors so...yeah. Bad, bad choice. :)
Because that's what users expect and it's much easier to create a usable user experience around photos, uploading, notification when it is ready etc.

True. 10X is productivity in the context of business value. Clyde will take six months before he can deliver something of value while Alice will have solved ten more business problems with within that same time period.

The key differentiation is: is the company a technology company (Clyde's approach is more valuable) or not (Alice's approach is more valuable).
From my understanding it seems that the technology exists to replicate human art, not to create new styles on top of it. So I think in order to train the technology to do more styles of art it will require humans to make those new styles.

Joking aside, I think you're right that there should be some kind of notice somewhere, in-game or out (even on the Steam page) that indicates that some parts of the game are difficult or inaccessible for players with a degree of hearing loss.

Even better might be to have an option in the game that turns on an additional visual cue that could augment whatever the original audio cue was. Actually designing it to make sense in the same way would of course be difficult, but I don't doubt that there are enough players that would appreciate that option.

Sometimes I feel like the difference between a junior, intermediate, and senior developers is that the junior hasn't yet figured out how to use regexps, the intermediate dev has, and the senior dev has figured out not to.

I kid, but...really. The number of times I've seen people burnt by non-trivial regexps in production code is absurd.

"Oh, I need to mangle this CSV that's in the wrong format"? Sure, write a one-off regexp.

"Hm, there might be a security vulnerability in this URL parameter, I need some way to filter out bad inputs..." Oh hell no.

Literally two weeks ago I tracked down a crazy bug to a regexp someone had written to try and correct mistyped email addresses in a signup form (?!) that deleted "invalid" characters. Like a "+". So many facepalms for one short line of code...

You've been throwing around that 'virtualization is dying' line around quite a bit but in fact I see absolutely no evidence for this. The very largest companies never used virtualization in the first place and many others are actually moving from an architecture with a lot of dedicated servers to one where virtualization plays an important part.

Do you have any thoroughly researched numbers to back up this claim because I really don't see the evidence and I look at quite a few companies every year?

End of the Road for the Land Rover Defender
Listen carefully for the questions of the interviewer. He first asked "what is it, the feeling, between the two magnets," Feynman asks "what do you mean the feeling, what do you want to know," "I want to know what's going on," Feynman answered "well they repel each other," then the interviewer really asked "what does that mean, or why are doing that, or how are they doing that."

So Feynman tried to answer the "why" question. The shortest answer would really be "they just do it." There's no "purpose" it's just one manifestation of the electromagnetic force which is behind almost everything we see or feel. It's true, he didn't answer the "how" and that's why some viewers feel "injustice."

Fascinatingly, it's hard to answer "how" without knowing what he who questions already knows. Because the same electromagnetic force is behind almost everything we "see or feel," not just magnets.

If I'd guess the background of average person asking that question, the person would know that the electromagnetic force exists, as "I've heard the name," but not more than that. And he would be intrigued that he "feels" the repulsion between the two objects even if there are "no batteries," he'd actually want to know how it can be that the magnets "work" all the time and "at the distance." But even that isn't true, they don't "work," looking as a physicist, we do the work while pushing the magnets against each other to feel their repulsion, the force exists all the time. So what would be the satisfying answer?

I guess something like "the force you feel is everywhere, but you don't see that particular behavior. In these static magnets the tiny particles in the material can be easily nicely lined up that when you press them to each other you can feel the force differently than with the other materials, where the lining up normally doesn't happen or can't happen."

The interviewer also asked "how when we turn them then they stick to each other." That needs much more talk I'm afraid, unless you just say "they have poles" where you don't really explain the mechanism behind.

I've watched Feynman's videos where he explained some aspects of electromagnetism in a popular way ("that's how we don't fall through the floor" is the catchiest sentence in the talk), he was surely able to "explain the magnets" similarly (although not all the details in the short answer, he actually did a year long lectures for non-physicist students), but here he elaborated the problems in "why" questions.

Once a person already has decent knowledge, he can really enjoy the explanations like this:

After trying to hold interest in an arduino club for young students, leaving that language for something that holds your hand a bit more is quite appealing. That and basically the UK curriculum is python. As we web developer I want to see JS get in here but I think the ships already sailed.

Inflated? It has been quarter after quarter after quarter. This isn't a new result.

It's very clearly not inflated. Azure is the #2 competitor to AWS at this point. Their quarterly results have been telling the tale of this build-up for the past two years.

AWS just grew by nearly 70%, and is quite a lot larger than Azure. It's not surprising that Azure would continue to grow so fast.

There seems to be a lot of confusion here about the Microsoft report. Nowhere in that report did they split out Azure sales, only "commercial cloud" ($9.4b annual run-rate) and "intelligent cloud" ($6.3b sales). The sole thing they were specific about regarding Azure, is 140% sales growth.

As a scientist, I use a mix of Incanter, Quil, and gg4clj bridge to R's ggplot2 for visualization in clojure (none of these outputs to a browser though).

R's ggplot2 beats Incanter (or anything other charting library) by a large margin in its excellent mix of conciseness and power, but I find Quil pretty nice for animations (superimposing data on geographical maps, for example).

I keep an eye out for new charting libraries coming out for clojure. Last two I spotted were vizard from yieldbot (https://github.com/yieldbot/vizard), and what seems to have only been a small project, xvsy (https://github.com/dvdt/xvsy)

Still... why have type inference in the first place if you can not safely utilize it. The argument for having things unsound is "to strike a balance between correctness and productivity". Having to declare types on everything even if it's just generics beats the productivity argument.
