That's actually a fair point and one I completely sympathise with. But your original argument very much sounded like you were suggesting that people in general shouldn't bother with FreeBSD, jails, nor any other technologies which weren't dominant in their respective field. Which is why we disagreed.
I respectfully think you have it backwards. Generally financiers put their mouth where their money is, not the other way around. (They talk up where they are investing, not choosing to back their ideas up with investments) They're in the investment business, not the talking business. This isn't a comment on their ethics, just their incentives. Talking their book helps them in winning positions too - it can provide greater liquidity.

If it was positive NPV for them to keep quiet, every investor would.

The Dot does have an internal speaker - just a tiny crap one.
I've had the same idea on the backburner for a while. It's tough to work out where a person is however. It might work well with things like film posters, shop fronts or even TV. I'd love to be able to comment on those stupid hydro-nano-nonsense cosmetic commercials. It's got a killer revenue model too. Look at me just giving away gold, truth is I'm never going to have the time.
Why do you use the word "story" here? Do you mean "feature"? Does story come from a marketing frame of mind and not a developer frame of mind?

> And believe you me, using BSD nowadays is the definition of doing things differently.

... although people like Florian Haas argue that the way that one does things on the BSDs is actually the way that makes sense to do things with Docker, as well, and the way that you think to be "different" is actually the sensible way overall.

I use Trello. I have a board where I general store things, and happen to have a column just for ideas.

Also, have another column for things to read. Things to research/investigate.

Since you don't have any basis for comparison, I'm going to have to assume that you're now just trolling me. So I'll end our correspondence here.
A lot of plants measure seasonal change by the length of the day. This might work for some crops but your broccoli would probably bolt or never grow flowers in that environment.
> That leaves option "b", which requires them to give the code to any third party that requests it,

That's very interesting wording that I wasn't aware of. It still seems to me like it is a reasonable interpretation that only the customer could request it (the "offer" is to the customer, the distribution is to the third party). So, having bought the car, I could say "Please send the source code to my friend Fred". However my understanding is that the long held general interpretation of the GPL has always been that you only get standing to request the source code if you actually received the GPL code yourself.
I like VsCode especially for js css and html5 stuff. The problem I have with it is that it starts to lag when my codebase gets larger eg above 600 lines. Thats the reason why I switch to Atom. I think Atom is the best free text editor.
I am constantly amazed at the corruption of the Republican party. Running scared of the 'new broom'?
I recall the same sort of hate for Reagen and he was elected, and none of their fears came to pass. Reagen was smart enough to employ smart people as advisers and in the cabinet.
Trump, for all his hair etc, has been very successful in business. He has also muted his comments recently, wherease he would shoot off his mouth too much, now he is better.

Is your API broken?
Had to look up PCM, which stands for phase-change materials.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-change_material

Found a few vendors of various interesting products, here's just one:

http://www.pcmproducts.net

Found a few articles advocating water heaters using PCM. Sounds cool.

Aside: I've tried HotSnapZ brand hand warmers. They're reusable. Neat. I should have guessed this strategy could be scaled up for bigger applications.

Just like any other commercial vendor.
I just don't understand what's the reason behind vesting if there is nothing I can do about this :/
hah touche!

But it still seems like a terrible idea.
It's silly how people view this situation here. If one company has the resources to manipulate the market, they will do so outside the talent pool. Apple could buy up most patents and restrict anybody from using them. THEN, you would see the problem. But when it's human resource, you want the free market to be free.

You also need a good microphone setup to get good quality speech in.

Both Echo and Dot have a 7 mic array with beamforming, which helps a lot with far field speech recognition.
Nobody is getting paid.
> Well, I think blind people would disagree with you.

Answered downthread.

> Any speech interface could be trivially translated to a text interface, right?

Pretty much, which is why UIs should not be exclusively auditory, that is, delivered without an accompanying visual interface (text or otherwise). Ordering the Echo Dot verbally is a cute gimmick given its premise, but it would really suck if otherwise useful products and services were only usable through audio.

Hopefully the audio UI trend does not follow the obsession over touch screens: a rapidly adopted, de facto standard driven by tastemakers that leave little consideration for others that might prefer an actual keyboard or other physical affordances.
Barnes and Noble Is Killing the Nook App Store
Yeah, their super bowl commercial with Alec Baldwin was a huge hit. And everyone who uses amazon sees the thing plastered across the front page every time they use the website. They're also much more active on social media, and have (presumably) paid to get #AmazonEcho trending now on Twitter.
Which System76 laptops? I'm in the market for a Linux-native laptop which'll compile faster than my MBP.
Although I love the scrollwheel and you couldn't pry it from my cold dead hands, I use the scrollbar every day (in Windows 7, which has them) for two purposes:

- Moving a whole page up or down by clicking on the grey bar, which is similar to pressing Page Up and Page Down, but it's much faster on screen when I already have the hand on the mouse and the window maximized (because of Fitts's law, the scrollbar has infinite width, while the keys are small).

- Dragging around up and down in a long page to a different part of the document, in almost instant time. I HATE with all my strength how mobile browsers and apps have eliminated that option. Dragging a moderately long page to find a particular section (in, say, a Wikipedia article) with the touchscreen's physical scroll is a pain in the ass, and slow as molasses because the max speed is also capped at a low value. Is it that hard to show a drag handle after the drag event has started, and hide it when it ends?
> I think this is key. Being "local" is important. I saw this in the comic/gaming shop I volunteered in. We had a web presence and facebook page, but no one used them except for memes and news links. The money was made with people coming into the store and impulse-spending during a Friday Night Magic tournament or RPG sessions. Conversations and real-life interactions with people are why these shops have survived the move to online and big-box outlet stores.

I'm not sure you've thought this through. How are you getting people in to a game shop to spend money? (Or: a game shop is not analogous to Trader Joes.)

10 years ago I ran the Magic events for a large game shop and also the corresponding part of their website. The events mostly ran at break-even to get people into the store to spend money. And the website - specifically the event calendar and email list - was incredibly successful at getting people to come to events.

Game shops should absolutely have as much social media and web presence as possible, tuned towards raising awareness of events. And also possibly raising awareness of their electronic shopfront, if that's something they do - another thing that was a nice extra source of revenue even 10 years ago.

So, crazy idea (and completely inapplicable here, because dictatorship). Is there any government in the word that has an empowered "science" branch of government as a check and balance?

I'm not suggesting science is apolitical, but I feel like there's some merit to "We wanted to build a broken dam because {political considerations}, but the {science branch} vetoed it."

Kind of like a Supreme Court, except informed by scientific knowledge rather than law.

> I think when we were kids we didn't think that the personal assistant would have to communicate with the outside world via the internet in order to perform its function.

Human personal assistants were connected to the outside world -- how else would they make appointments and reservations, book flights, find out what the weather would be, etc.? The whole point is to be connected to the outside world, automatic or no.

It's not about purchasing a car outright for $3600, it's that at the end of the lease you have to (not "get to") walk away.

I put 50-100,000 miles on cars that start with about 100,000 that I buy for $3000-$5000. I haven't needed much unplanned service, largely due to luck and buying well-maintained cars. When I am done with the car, I sell it for about $1000-$1500 less than I paid for it. And the insurance on these cars is MUCH cheaper than for a new car.

So by not "getting to" walk away at the end, my total cost is not $3600, but $1500. You could buy a car for $10000 and sell it at $6400 if you wanted a newer model.

But the big difference is that if I get laid off or have to file for disability or something, I have an asset that I can keep using instead of upgrading if I want, or sell if I need the money. A lease is a liability!
It's a great flyer... only one in my entire life I've ever read, then made a point of buying one of the items the next time I went. I know it's fabricated to feel neighbour-hood-y and quaint - but it worked. If it was "modernised" I wouldn't have even picked it up.
As a long time Sublime user, having side-bar tabs in editors like Brackets or VS Code is definitely quite annoying. I wish they offered the option to place tabs on the top as an alternative.
And if you do get beyond a narrow range does the user spend a lot of time thinking about how to craft a question so that the machine can understand it?
Sorta. Trader Joe's was founded in 1958 and was purchased by Aldi Nord in 1979. Aldi USA is a very recent thing.
MIT on how to cheat on a Google interview [pdf]

Especially strange: "If  you  already  know  the  answer,  don't  just  blurt  it  out!   They  will  suspect  that  you  already  knew  the  answer  and  didn't  tell  them  you've  seen  the  question  before.   At  least pretend  to  be  thinking  though  the  problem before  you  give  the  answer!"

It is disturbing that a school as the MIT offers such courses. Apparently, you just exchange tuition for a good job afterwards, instead of getting the best education.
So if they want to avoid this, it's up to them to rise up and revolt against ISIS. If they don't, oh well. If you're not willing to fight for your own survival and freedom, then maybe you don't deserve it, and you really have no right to expect others to do the dirty work for you and hand you these things on a silver platter.

And these people back in 2003 were asking for the USA-led coalition to invade their own country, topple the government, wreck the country's infrastructure, and leave a power-vacuum in its place? A vacuum filled in by local warlords and ethnic-cleansing militias?

I dispute the idea that we in the West have no responsibility here to help.
A bit off topic, but usually I tend to avoid browser based UIs for desktop applications, but the quality of current Rust support in Visual Studio Code made me open an exception just to use it.
The ability to walk around something makes it seem so much more real. With vive you can duck below and look under a table, lean around, view something from all angles. With oculus you're limited to seated experiences so it doesn't feel much different than sitting at a desk with a 3d monitor.

Also, moving your character with a controller or keyboard can be nauseating. This is why the best oculus games are going to be "cockpit simulators" or they're just going to have a"virtual screen". The vives ability to move yourself with your own legs keeps nausea in check.
At some point, a government will have an insurmountable military advantage, against which any resistance by its population is futile.
Accelerite to Acquire CloudPlatform (based on CloudStack)
I wonder what sort of memory related tech it would take to pack nearly all of the internet in a small space, and have it incrementally update(the internet!) and yet write it in available memory.

Besides any contact with outside world would need communication. So you can't have an entirely standalone gadget.
Yes, I know. We had this "C runs on systems that don't even have disk" excuse for so long it's became a cultural thing.

I'm not sure where to draw the distinction between a language and a platform and I don't think I care. Those additions will make C++ way more useful, libraries will become more composable, binaries smaller, and life will be easier for 99.9% of people who use C++. So, I'm glad they finally dropped the lowest common denominator approach - we've been making our own batteries for way too long.
> I very much like the async/await mechanism offered by C# or Python because it makes side-effects explicit.

It's also potentially faster and more efficient than goroutines, because it packs the state to be shared on context switches into what is typically a very tight structure instead of saving the entire stack.

> I think that error handling is still a subject of tension in every language and the problem is not fully solved (even in Rust, Haskell or Erlang). Time will tell.

Can you elaborate as to what the problems you see with error handling in those languages are?

Thank you for your interest and feedback, will definitely post it on "Show HN" in a couple weeks, as soon as both iOS and Android versions of the framework are ready and publicly available!

About it's story, we started working on this aprox. one year ago. We had an "off-the-grid" messaging app and visited a conference in order to promote it. Wi-fi was always going down, so we were one of the only apps that could actually be used, and tons of developers came to us asking to use our technology (which was kind of primitive at the time, but worked) on their own apps. Long-story short (with a few trips to countries with poor and expensive connectivity in between), we then decided to make as our mission to help build a more connected world and help developers build solutions that can work when others can't, and started working on the framework only.
You misinterpreted it.
lol, no. C# debugging on Linux will use neither GDB nor LLDB. The GDB text protocol is used, but C# debugging will be done by the clrdbg. It's already been ported.
Several comments have mentioned that high intelligence can result in a very lonely, isolated, and depressing existence, as you find that you can communicate with very few people, and how sometimes very bright people wind up either anti-social or suicidal.

This will probably be an unpopular position but: I really hope concepts doesn't make it into C++17. Not because I don't want concepts, but because I think definition checking is completely integral to what I want them for.

Either way, if people are genuinely concerned and want a specific version of the source code for their car, it seems Daniel Wagner is a contact at BMW to ask. There's an email address in the git repository commits.
Commenters are required to post civilly and substantively, or not at all. It's bad enough that you are uncivil to your fellow users, and worse that you start religious flamewars. But blaming a million people for their own prospective drowning because you say they're Isis supporters (a ridiculous claim about a group known to terrorize the populations it rules over), and therefore have it coming to them, is far outside any civil discourse, even about politics. If you do it again you will forfeit the right to post here.
The underpinning to this business model is to receive capital which governments decide must be expended to meet some goal -- be it GDP, exports, local currency exchange rate.

In other terms it could be viewed as arbitraging participants who don't care to participate in the market for a marketable good. For example, if Jet.com was selling an item at a fixed loss (to expand marketshare or hit some VC targeted numbers, etc) and you just kept buying that item and selling it at the market rate on another exchange.

The other piece to this is that one is not simply just sitting back and doing nothing but rather accumulating a lot of risk from other parties who do not wish to do so. In itself that is reasonable, but when the parties involved don't have the capital to cover losses should they appear, that is another issue.
One of the really nice things about Julia and her writing style, is she makes quite complicated subjects fairly easy to grasp from a high level.

For beginners, or those who work much higher up the technology chain it provides a nice launching off point for further investigation.

Docker wants to manage your containers. And in that regard it is one monolithic daemon that manages everything about your containers.

Systemd wants to manage your computer and things related to init. It is a bunch of modular, but strongly integrated, pieces that manage everything about your init and process management.

Thanks for the update.
In my first job in finance, I worked for a professor who was developing what at the time became the first model to accurately price bond options. As we visited potential clients, one of the common complaints from their quants was that the model allowed for the possibility of negative interest rates. Alas, that was back in the days of 10+% rates in the US so I guess negative rates seemed like a pretty remote chance.
Yes, I came to make this comment. Toyota has been very vocal about making this change. The rationale from Mr. Toyoda himself was something like:

(1) Robots are not great at improving on their own work in the same way that humans naturally are.

(2) When he was a boy, Mr. Toyoda recalled that there were always a few men around the factory who were capable of extremely creative and ingenious solutions to difficult problems of logistics or fabrication, and he feels that this skill is being lost.

Anyway, this has been a major consideration for the current management at Toyota for some time.

There's a lot of book there, but the short riff is :

- checklists reduce error
- surgical staff may or may not embrace checklists even when they know it reduces error.
- they backslide and the error rate comes back.

Using "Fast and Slow" as a template, they have a weird and hard to understand balance between their System 1 and System 2 thinking.

I've used a basic "checklist" ( eg, the motor has to be at X RPM +/- Y RPM for X seconds before you disengage the clutch ) as the central element in some controls automation, and I've seen people be really confused by that. Machines people do not think in terms of "proofs" even though they embrace chunked operations.

The Spirit of the Game – Navigational Aids for the Next Century
I've been dealing with this same issue in Rust, and I think there is definitely a middle ground to be had.

In the first example, it's trivial to add uint32 and uint64, and store the result as a uint64. No information is lost at all in that operation. This generalizes to any combination of integral types, where [u]int{x} + [u]int{y} = [u]int{max(x, y)}. It's inexplicable to me why a language wouldn't allow these loss-less operations to be implicit.

The other two operations don't have a clear answer, so it makes perfect sense to require an explicit cast in those cases.
