The grandparents aren't going to have an EVSE for you, there is no larger battery that can do the trip^, and Christmas is not getting moved to a restaurant to accommodate your car. Nobody, not even Tesla, has a good answer to the EV range issue if you don't happen to have a quick charger on your route, and you often won't. That just means Supercharger network versus no Supercharger network probably won't be the thing that keeps people from buying a Bolt, just like it's not keeping them from buying a Tesla. That's the discussion I jumped in on.

^ There's a range calculator on the Model S webpage. If you drop the temperature and turn on the heater, even the 90 kWh battery doesn't have 240 miles range.
As maxerickson points out below, the Supercharger network is highly likely to be completely overwhelmed by the time Model 3 gets into the hands of most people. The popular stations near me in LA are often very close to capacity already (even after expansions), and that's with just 70,000ish cars on the road. With another 70k Model S/X and 200k Model 3 roaming the streets, either Tesla is going to have to start charging to use the stations, or people are going to be waiting in line. And waiting in line means probably adding another 20 minutes to an already long fill-up. Either way, the "huge difference" needs to be tempered against reality because the experience today will not be the same as the experience 3-4 years from now.
The Palantir were "good" objects in The Lord of the Rings. (As opposed to the Ring, which was inherently evil) The Palantir were used for thousands of years to protect the kingdom. Even during the time of the books, when being used by the most powerful evil bad guy, the right good guy could take back control of the Palantir "network".
Actually, Wikileaks released a dump of everything Chelsea Manning sent them, including diplomatic cables that only served to hurt innocents across the globe. That's a great example of what not to do.

The Guardian and Washington Post handled Snowden's leaks very differently, sourcing and verifying each article, then releasing quite a lot more than 10 major headlines over the course of a year or so. I trust the ICIJ will do the same.
Tesla is not include Autopilot safety features out of the goodness of their hearts, they need to do it to stay competitive.

my road trips involve about a 10-12 minute stop every 250-300 miles, and a longer meal stop of about 35-40 minutes if we go over 700 miles for the day. That's with my wife and our six-year-old son.

I've traveled with lots of friends who are the same way, and a few people who make much longer stops like the ones you describe.

Who is more representative of "most people"? I have no idea. But I wouldn't want to stop for 15 minutes every 80 miles, or 30 minutes every 170 miles.

This is like an mp3 search engine for academic research.

Is there a Soundcloud for academic research? Sounds like a no-brainer idea to me.. with comments and annotation possible against the actual text. Also, users could also upload audio (eg podcasts) and video (eg lectures and presentations).

You could build up really powerful communities as well that could peer-review on demand (for a fee.)

Quora has shown that experts can gain a following on a single site.

Maybe some type of open-source site for different areas-of-study that is unified in a single mega-site (like Jobberbase was at one point.)

Tax shelters and hiding money is difficult to explain to the average man on the street, so they're focusing on explaining the very real impact of this sort of corruption, talking about pension funds being drained, people not getting disability checks, and so on.

Corruption has a huge impact. The Putin fortune they talk about is blood money. It came from raping an entire country.
I don't find this convincing in the least. Just looking through many of the 5-star reviews, several of them come from people who actively contacted Amazon to request to purchase Alexa, which gives a clear bias in favor of a positive review (someone actively looking to like it, or an active reviewer of newer tech, not really representative of mainstream users).

Many others come from the pool of "Top 50 Reviewer" or "Top 500 Reviewer" which again suffers the same problem. It's an Amazon product, so it's obviously not OK with Amazon to deride it, and top reviewers are unlikely to jeopardize their affiliation-with-Amazon status to give it a significantly negative review.

The problem is I don't know the underlying population these reviews were drawn from, and at a cursory glance it looks highly different than the kind of population whose reviews I care about.

However, I will say that one substantial sub-population within the reviews, the sub-population writing reviews related to the way Echo can be used by differently abled people, does seem to present some compelling information about that particular use case.

Other than that, the reviews don't give me much of a reason to care (about the reviews themselves, not Echo), and this is not yet even taking into account what surely must be armies of sponsored reviews discreetly coming from Amazon itself.
I'm not sure how your comment addresses any of the points that tyre raised. :(

Licensing problems. For new projects this sounds great, put the code either in the public domain or they pick a license. Which one? MIT/BSD, GPL/LGPL, or something else? The former can generally be incorporated into the later, but what if they pick something else that's incompatible? At least we can see what was done and learn from it I guess. And what if they require a particular license as part of the policy and it prevent government projects from extending existing OSS project? That would be a shame.

The intent seems good, but the details will be everything.
Theyve already said they won't if there's a security or privacy risk, and you can find one of those in any code.

I had a P30 back in the day. I paid a lot for it, maybe 4k AUD, but it was my main machine from my late teens to very early twenties. The thing was stupidly heavy, used to carry it to uni on a 6km walk to the bus stop... something like 5kg with the power pack or maybe even 5.5kg....

For a toolmaker, the hammer. For a user, the nailgun.

Also, there's a qualitative difference between physical tools and programming languages. The design of a physical tool can only lessen the likelihood of an accident and/or the seriousness of its consequences, but never entirely rule them out - that's why they're called “accidents”. On the other hand, programming languages can be designed to treat logical errors as invalid code. A program that doesn't compile is completely guaranteed not to corrupt your data, reveal your passwords to hackers, etc.

It's a bit vague about what happens when you get contention and a transaction rejects. Try again immediately? Spin and try again? Wait and try again? Wait and try again with exponential backoff? All of the above, in sequence?

There are a few spots in Go where the concurrency isn't airtight, such as shared maps. This allows fixing that problem.

Even a 120V outlet will do the job. A 240V outlet (for example, if grandma has an electric dryer) will be even better. If your response to that suggestion is "The grandparents aren't going to have an EVSE for you" then I don't think you understand this stuff.

Point taken. I was thinking about how Ruby DSLs are often designed to resemble English text as much as possible.
I'm late to this conversation, but your CoC is problematic.

To participate in LambdaConf, participants must pledge their allegiance to your Code of Conduct. That's fine, except for the following part of the CoC that mandates the following:

"That I shall embrace and celebrate the abundant diversity in the human species, and refuse to feel threatened by those different from me;"

This is a highly problematic statement. By diversity, you mean diversity in sexuality, race, religion and politics. Why is this a problem?

Because nobody should be made to "embrace and celebrate" all the diverse facets of humanity. It's patently absurd: I'm not going to celebrate and endorse the views of paedophiles, I'm not going to embrace and celebrate the views of the doomsday Aum Sum cult, nor any of dozens of even more innocuous views such as open source is a cancer on society. Nor should a gay person have to celebrate and embrace the views of those who believe marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

And in fact, you don't. You've excluded a racist, which FWIW I don't have a problem with. But you are hardly celebrating the diversity of humanity, which includes those whose views deny people's essential humanity.

There is a big difference from politely and civilly disagreeing with the opinion of another, and asking someone to embrace and celebrate the fact that there are views held by others that they find fundamentally objectionable.

All you should be asking for is that you respect their right to hold their views, but not impose them on others at a conference that is about functional programming!

This Code of Conduct goes too far. As I've said, if you applied reductio ad absurdum then it would mean that it celebrates and embraces those who - like myself and evidently the conference organisers - don't believe that you should celebrate and embrace all aspects of the abundant diversity of humanity. The reason this argument reduces to the absurd is that because of my view, I am specifically excluded from your event, which means that your own CoC doesn't embrace and celebrate all diversity within humanity.

I'd suggest you dump that clause. It's self-contradictory and a ridiculous condition you are imposing on participants. In fact, it's a straight-jacket for conference organisers because when you do exclude someone you can, unfortunately rightly, be accused of violating your own CoC!
No argument that Supercharger=120kW is easier, but why wouldn't people mapping other charging stations record the available power?

The app authors could have simply read OWASP and been fine, this appears to be direct object access issues, in other words, they had no check to verify that the user sending the request actually had permission to any of the things they requested.

Everything else is just manually issuing commands to a "RESTful" interface which does not care which account issues the command.

Of course, in general business this happens all the time. I interpreted your "I live in this world" comment to mean "government" - apologies.

> I like this a lot, it's always tempting to think that we can create a perfect language that would be the best in all situations but we can't.

We may one day, but we should be uncompromising on a good, no nonsense. That varies for everyone but I think a lot of people including myself feel something Pythonic would be that syntax. Implementations can work around syntaxes, but it's important that the programmer comes first rather than the machine.

JIT'd and compiled Python would fit this need well. We already have both but it could be improved upon.

my guess is this is because of hardware limitations and the absence of the mythical sufficient smart compiler.

in the one language you write to appease the hardware, which makes it fast. the other language appeases the programmer, which makes it productive and safe. the two goals are irreconcilable as long as the processor and the (the mind of the) programmer work in a different way.

the simplest example i can think of are array boundary checks. as long as memory is finite you have to manage allocated ram. is it possible to know beforehand if an out of bounds access will happen? no; not without certain restrictions.

i'm pretty sure at the core there's some undecidability/halting state problem. or the CAP theorem; consistency, availability, partition tolerance. it's impossible to provide all three: so you might have two languages that solve two different parts of CAP, but leave the third one to the programmer. depending on the problem at hand one language might fit you better than the other.
Swig is amazing at quickly converting simple functions (i.e., functions that return an int and other simple types). But if you want to make a C++ function that returns an array or something like a JS object, SWIG doesn't seem to be able to automatically convert it into its javascript equivalent (AFAIK -- could be wrong here).
A 120V outlet trickle charging 3-4 miles per hour in the winter isn't going to get you home. The 240V outlet isn't going to help either, because people aren't going to jump through hoops to justify a car that doesn't make the drives they need to make. If there's no charger network where they live, and they need that range, then they're not going to replace their car with the EV. If it's there, then Tesla's stations probably aren't the only ones available, because Tesla's network is relatively small, so it's not a huge problem for Chevy.
Blind people likely understand space far better than sighted individuals. But computer desktop geometry is something entirely different, and not something that's easy to describe.

In any case, it's never a good idea to question someone with a different set of abilities than you have with a "is it really that hard?" Their experience far outweighs your naive intuition about what's easy and hard for them.
That is extremely telling.
I am "joking" in the sense that I don't expect even this 300K design to have taken that sort of vulnerability into account. I actually agree that most of it probably went into meaningless overhead. I am not joking in that I think that if you are designing a formally specified security-sensitive cyber-physical system, there are reasons why even very simple things are hard to get right.

I don't actually much care about the security of TSA hardware (my view is that it is all expensive security theater in any case). However, if you told me you spent 300K designing a very simple control interface for say, a critical component of the electrical grid, and the argument you gave me for the cost is proper security engineering, I would buy that. I certainly would prefer it to a $30 USD solution developed as a HackerRank project, even if the nominal functionality is the same.
Wow, all that and you STILL don't have a working blog.

If you're thinking "hey I wanna learn react/express/mongoDB" then have at it. No harm there, of course.

But if you just want to start a blog, this is not the way to do it. Nor does this solution make much sense as a blogging solution, because it has such a setup cost.

running a one-liner rails generate command gets you 80% to complete pretty damn quickly.

Or there's wordpress... or octopress hosted on github (what I do).

I'm all for exploring technology, but I don't think there is enough focus on discussion for right tooling for the job. Too often I see links to overly complicated solutions to problems that have much simpler solutions available. I would rather see these technologies explored in the scenarios where I'd actually want to consider using them, because knowing when to use a tool is just as important as knowing how to.
I am "hoping" to see US clients exposed. But even if they are, I expect a big "meh" from any authority that could do anything about it. It's easier to chase resourceless drug users and scientific publication "pirates."
A worst case example would be if the app just cycled through a fixed table of "random" choices

Not even a newbie programmer is going to do this. Every language out there has a Random() function.

Seriously, all these worst case scenarios and we're still well within the land of what even a middling iOS developer could crank out in under an hour.

Does anybody know of any good articles that discuss the actual performance merits of using npm addons? Aside from raw computation heavy functions (whereby dropping down to C++ would seem to be a good idea a priori), are there are other scenarios where using npm addons is a good idea in the node context?

For example, one thing I have found is that nodejs seems to be horrendously very slow at file system manipulation. Dropping down to a C++ addon thus might be a good idea if you're making a nodejs app that has a lot of file system manipulation involved.
