Looks very neat. Anyone know if this will this run on the original CR-48?
Interesting angle approaching this problem, from a continuous log cacheable on the client. Just downloaded and used demo briefly so take this for whatever it's worth:
- What about a sidebar for the issue detail, instead of a floating window?
- A send button when posting comment, not just CMD-S
- The issues list could use some bigger font size and spacing

This is like saying: I make lots of money, why am I penalized because I can't receive welfare?

I suppose we can fight the technicalities of net neutrality, but it will only mean you will pay more money, not less.
> My point is: don't complain about coffeescript while cheer at ES6, they are mostly the same.

No, they are really not.

ES6 does not change the semantics of the language. It adds a couple of new useful features, but it still maintains the basic readability of JS.

I've written production apps in both. With Coffeescript, I regularly encounter problems where the generated output is not what I expected given the input and the only way I discovered that was examining the output JS.

With ES6/Babel, I have literally never inspected the generated output. It's never produced code contrary to what I expect.
People told me farmer's market tomatoes were better. So I bought them several times and sometimes they were better, sometimes not. Then, I discovered "early girl" tomatoes and they blew my mind. Very limited growing season though.
I would've thought having technical experience and the ability to get your hands dirty would be a requirement of being VP of Engineering (or similar). Two things that immediately come to mind is the ability to make competent technical decisions and estimate required time/resources required. Strong engineering/technical background is a requirement for the two. How do you even get into this leadership role without having the foundation?

I completely agree that you may not want your best engineers in this role because interfacing with and leading people is a completely separate skill, but I would still think any competent exec with a technical title will have some technical experience.
Yes, my current preference is for Bitbucket, but a large part of that is that I personally prefer Hg to Git. I still eneded up finally making a GitHub account just because so many other projects are hosted there.
How to Start a Chinese Company
I don't buy it. Even if Parse's contribution to FB's bottom line is/was less than a dent I would still run other options before shutting down. Maybe keep the technology/team but sell the product? As you rightly suggest even keeping it running as an educational tool makes more sense than closing shop. Something else is going on...

Amusingly enough, I actually started thinking a bit about this just the other night after being told about a talk given at Dropbox about accessibility. To be up front, we know very little about it and the other night was the first time I'd ever tried to use a screen reader, so it's something we aren't likely to be good at right of the gate, but it is something we've been setting ourselves up for completely by accident.

Many of the previous versions of Eve would be pretty completely inaccessible, so your dismissal would definitely be warranted. The version we've decided to run with though basically has three parts: a document editor, embedded spreadsheet cells, and a fancy plain english search. All three of which have a history of accessible solutions, so that makes me much more optimistic that we can provide something nice here. Along the way, another thing we've been very cognizant about is making sure no matter what form of input you prefer, Eve should be efficient and useful to you whether you're using a keyboard, a mouse, or touch. Many of the interaction issues we'd need to solve to better work with screen readers popup when trying to support complete keyboardability, but I have no delusion that there will be plenty more to solve there. Another interesting aspect of this version of Eve is it's really easy to imagine a voice interface to since virtually everything is done using plain english queries - it'd be kind of like having Jarvis in your google docs.

Admittedly, we don't know what we're doing when it comes to accessibility, but it is something we've been thinking about indirectly and it's something I think we can at least do more naturally than the code editors of the world.

Thanks for raising the issue and it's something I'd like to have a more concrete answer for in the future.

It’s free shipping. I know people don’t like to hear this. The market for mobile “shippers” is more competitive than that in the physical world, in fact.

The analogy is not perfect, but if one objects to this then one objects to Amazon or vendors offering free shipping, which is a benefit that puts them ahead of competitors, and (might) lead the consumer to include it in their decision-making.

This also shows the tension between neutrality advocacy and consumer benefit. In a PR sense, it’s very hard to win, when most consumers only see the benefit. (I happen to side with consumers on this.)
This is exactly how peering and transit setups work across ISPs. The burden is far lower than you describe.

If you can't meet the technical requirements that provide T-Mobile the network benefit to support BingeOn, you don't get included in the program. Its pretty simple.

If you're a video streaming startup, you're not going to be serving content to ISPs. Your CDN is. Your CDN would have a process in place to integrate with whatever ISPs wanted to support this. If you're attempting to service content directly from your own servers, you're either enormous, or stupid.
Startups would love to use this if you building Jira compatibility.
This is a quite specific point, away from the general debate about what T-Mobile and net neutrality.

They are throttling a service because it does not participate in their BingeOn program. That is horribly anti-competitive and bad for users. Why do you want T-Mobile to slow down your connection to YouTube and give you absolutely no discernible benefit from it? It absolutely boggles my mind.
Bank of Japan Introduces Negative Interest Rates to Boost Economy
That's correct, give or take a few other features.

The selling point of Parse, at least to me, wasn't "this is complex or particularly high-quality engineering". It's "you want to bang out an MVP in a day. Awesome, we took care of giving you a server to shove shit on."
Not entirely related to this pretty spot on article but I have also heard another hypothesis, that, as we get older our taste buds diminish which makes us think things don't taste as good as they used to.

Linux please. If you're going to target the web, you might as well build a desktop app with electron[1].

[1] http://electron.atom.io/
I'm using Linux but I won't consider installing a native application even if it were available, or if I had a Mac or Windows. Web apps proved to be good enough for issue tracking (maybe I'm telling this to the wrong people given your choice, which I respect), my browser is open all the time and it has offline capabilities. Furthermore, it can be updated more conveniently.

Another point is that issues are useful if shared. I shared links to issues to customers and coworkers countless times and included them in reports. A web client solves at least one problem, maybe two. First, they might not want to install (or pay for) another tool. Second, Ship references issues with the ship:// url, which won't work unless you have Ship installed. A https:// url would work for everybody but then you need to share two different URLs which would be cumbersome. I'm sure you already found a solution to that.

Your site doesn't address explicitly one fundamental aspect: the data are hosted on your server, like issues stored in GitHub, Jira, etc and you're selling the service, or will be. Is this correct? What's the pricing? Thanks.

So, if I understand it correctly, HTTPS costs developers money (annual rent for renting an SSL Cert).

Google too is about to start shaming non-HTTPS connections (according to a recent article).

I've heard about the free one-year Cert. Is there any way to do HTTPS all in-house (permanently), without resorting to an external agency?

Uhh, what caching advantage are you talking about? Everything that can be served cached over HTTP can also be served cached over HTTPS. Unless you are talking about a caching proxy outside of the website control. In that case, they aren't needed, CDNs solved that problem in a much better way.
Actually, they did. Manage to make me happy, that is. I was very satisfied with Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 on my 920 and I've only had my 950 for a couple months.

Significantly, I've looked at iOS and Android devices during the same time and saw no appeal. Android seems about the same as it was when I stopped using it, even though it's been through several major updates.

So yes, I do hope they improve Windows 10 mobile, and dramatically so. But I've only had this particular device for a couple months. For me personally, this is the first time I feel partly disappointed with a Windows phone. So I feel it is reasonable to be cautiously optimistic that they can improve matters and restore my happiness with the platform.
And what makes the files in this context stand out as particularly dangerous?

I don't know what kind of attacks you work with but in my experience people usually try to be at least somewhat stealthy, this wouldn't be it.

And anyway, how would you even get those files without downloading the torrent in the first place? Sounds like you might be placing a little unwarranted trust on your torrent client.
The headline is "Toronto family ditches the city for old school fixer-upper in country" (at least in the <title>) and the tagline says "the obstacles they overcame in moving to the country." It seems quite clearly to be talking about a family who moved from Toronto, the city, to the country, not that their endpoint is in the city.
haha that does more or less represent the past couple years of my life :)

Because I consume almost all of my contact through BingeOn partners, and don't watch YouTube, so it behooves me? Does that truly boggle your mind?

Why do I care if YouTube is throttled if I don't use it?
The most ironic thing about this article is that it sounds like he's complaining about tall the niceties of living in SF but he himself works at an ad tech company and is currently on sabbatical and wants to write a new blog entry once a day. WTF???

See my comment to your parent. I don't think it's about getting more views, when talking about a transition from city to country. In the second paragraph: "They had been ruminating for years, however, about leaving Toronto for a more free-spirited life in the country with their three young daughters."
I think you're missing the point. It takes a massive amount of effort to design, build and ship the operating system and device that you like. This is a tremendous resource drain on Microsoft, who could be using the money and manpower to do other things. There isn't one engineer on that team who is happy at the thought of their work being used by only 1% of people with mobile devices. Beyond being a business disaster, it is a morale disaster.

Unless they can do something remarkable and turn around the trajectory, your device will go the way of the Zune.
Looks to be a typo on your landing page; "wondering" should be "wandering".
Completely agree on the gentle introduction and discoverability - you never tell users they are using a 'real' language and database. However, the Excel function language and API are relatively terrible - I think users succeed in spite of them, not because they are approachable.
These highly customizable products should have "workflow settings" that change a large group of settings to optimize a specific work flow. That and give an explanation/demo of the flow so that the user knows what to do.

That way if you don't want to figure out what works best for you and want to be told what to do, you can just set one of these workflows and disseminate that information to the people who will be using it.
PouchDB and CouchDB are great for prototyping of apps, but access restriction in CouchDB is broken by design: it is hard to make it correct, CouchDB is open by default, user can store anything in DB it has access to, including pr0n.

If CouchDB will close DB by default AND it will be easy to specify politics by REST path AND it will be easy to restrict document schema by REST path, then I will use it in production.

Siri was developed by SRI International, basically as the commercialization of the CALO project [0]. It was initially developed as an app, and was even available in the store. The project was then spun-off into a company, and the developers were working on versions for other platforms. Apple then bought the company, making it exclusively an iOS product and integrating it into the OS.

The voice recognition technology was indeed based on Nuance technology [1]. Nuance was also a spin-off from SRI.

EDIT: This was all after ScanSoft purchased Nuance, which means it had both Nuance and Dragon technology at the time. However, due to Nuance's history with SRI, I would lean towards that being the more likely option, if they hadn't been integrated by that point.

(I worked at SRI during the Siri spin-off time period, and worked with one of the Siri developers on another project.)

A 6 figure burn rate is what's required to own property in or near sf. Take a modest $900k 3 bedroom condo: it costs nearly $5k/mo in mortgage (even with a sizable downpayment), insurance, taxes, and maintenance. And you haven't eaten yet, or owned even a single car.

> if you have a secure enough content security policy (and the browser in question supports it properly) it will be impossible for an attacker to execute their inserted Javascript

I don't follow your reasoning. Why wouldn't an MITM attacker modifying an HTTP response body to insert rogue Javascript also be able to modify the response headers to strip or alter the Content Security Policy?
Hmm, I don't think I'd buy that our taste buds diminish that much. I picked up one of those "small farm" tomatoes and it was incredible. Now if you've been a smoker then your taste buds absolutely suffer for it.

Your comment is valid if we lived in a totally free market. We do not.

1) Want to build a skyscrapper? Having the same housing density as Tokyo or Manhattan? No .. sorry .. think of the traffic or view or ... whatever.

2) The place you live in has become very valuable. Pay the appropriate property tax. Umm .. no .. sorry. We don't want to make live unaffordable for seniors or umm whatever.

The reality is just wealth distribution. Away from people who are young and new to the area and towards those who were here before.
From what you've said - it's not for me. I find myself at the end of everything I read or watch thinking - Was that worth the XXX minutes?

The answer is almost invariably: No.

Random stuff that random people have written? Never worth it. Recommended by people whose opinion I trust? Almost never worth it. I'm pretty much never the target audience. I either already know about the subject, or I'm not really interested.

Get people to write in depth and they have no audience to speak of. Them them to write for a general audience, and there's no depth.

I'm old, for which read "rich in experience," and I don't need entertaining. I like learning stuff, but a general "library" won't have the material I want unless you specifically put in mechanisms to make sure it gets written, contributed, curated, and discussed.

I'm probably not your target audience.
"Half-implemented feature" is so awesome for plausible deniability. You can leave blatant security holes in and be like, "yeah, I never got around to fixing that since we stopped developing the feature," when elsewhere those flaws would be suspected of being an intentional backdoor.
I haven't seen any references to the film "Children of Men"; that film freaked me out deeply, and is a bit similar to this issue with the Zika visus. Basically, it depicts a world in the near future where no human children have been born for over 18 years (and europe full of refugees, society breaking down into a police state dystopia)

Whether the autobiographical bits are true or not, the highlights as presented by the article are a valuable message for people who didn't already understand as such.
I grew up in South Florida which is not a good growing climate for many "classic" North American fruits and vegetables.

I didn't understand the popularity of tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, or pears until I moved north and tried them at farmer's markets or from wild growth. I didn't even understand the relationship between the actual foods and the artificial "candy flavor" versions until I tasted the real things. That's how far the commercial varieties have diverged.

On the other hand, I miss a lot of the tropical fruits and vegetables that I had growing in my neighborhood down there.
So there's basically no principle at stake here at all? If they throttle YouTube and you don't use it, that's OK. If they throttle Netflix and you do use it, you'll oppose it?

That seems exceptionally short sighted, but to each their own. As you say, I doubt we're going to change each other's minds here.
Building something where nothing stood before is monumental, but last weekend I spoke to Google Translate (at a noisy party) and had it instantly and correctly translate what I said to mandarin.

> but Trump is probably not going to gain much more support than he already has, since he's so extremely polarizing.

I doubt that's true; that 31% is with the conservative establishment pouring an order of magnitude more money into the campaign of establishment candidates (particular Jeb Bush) that are getting no traction despite the vast spending; there's already signs that significant parts of the establishment are coming around to Trump of the least-bad viable candidate (and others parts of the conservative establishment going to Cruz, who is similarly situated with regard to the establishment, and likewise seeing success despite the vastly greater spending and conservative establishment support for other candidates that are not gaining traction).

When the flood of conservative establishment resources that has been deployed against Trump/Cruz begins being split by Trump and Cruz -- and most of it finally lines up behind one of them if, as seems likely, they secure the party nomination -- they'll do much better than they do with those resources opposing them.
This may already be a thing, but rather than focusing on organic-ness or price, I wonder if there is a market for vegetables developing and deliberately focusing their promotion on enhanced nutritional content?
