I've been using Sketch for over a year now, and though it's been a valuable tool (and the integration with Framer is wonderful) it continues to be plagued by bugs and crashes in even mundane daily use. They proudly announce new features while ignoring the toll these issues take on the designers who depend on their software. I'm posting this in the hope that they'll acknowledge and address some of these issues quickly.

Here are screen grabs of just a few of the most obvious bugs I've encountered recently:

Why I Built Outduo
I work with John's son, Jack, on LBRY (http://lbry.io). The whole Robison family is full of people with interesting stories:

- Jack went to trial as a teenager, facing 60 years (!) in prison for chemistry experiments (http://www.masslive.com/localbuzz/index.ssf/2009/06/actionre...)

- Here is John showcasing guitar for Kiss, built by whole family (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXZi4UZjiiI&t=10)

- John's brother is Augusten Burroughs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusten_Burroughs)

I agree with your assessment of how it moves the area around, and people's reluctance for them to be the ones to 'distribute' their wealth as opposed to the next guy up,but I just want to point out that even though there is a lot of press against how little (percent-wise) the top quartile pay in taxes (1%-ers), the top 5% paid 57% of all tax revenue in 2011. The top 1% paid 35% of all tax revenue in 2011.

Disclaimer: I am very, very far from the top 25%!
Poor analogy.

You and a friend washed a car once. You didn't charge anything for it. You, but not your friend, continued washing the car every week, whether it was clean or dirty.

When you went to the owner for payment, he gave you $300 for washing it. You washed it approximately 15 times. Your friend requests 1/16th of the payment.

He also claims that without his help in the first place, this would not have converted into a paid venture for either of you (which is hard to prove), and therefore that initial input was worth more than the 1/16th, and requests an additional % of the share.
You misunderstand me.

A), i have read some of the talmud; i do not believe i have the collected texts in their entirety.

B), i meant to say it is in the interest of the rabbis to propagate the cohesive narrative of Moses authoring the pentateuch, NOT that the talmud itself has a cohesive narrative.

Perhaps there was some confusion about the word "torah"--I was refering to the pentateuch, ie the original five written texts, not the broader meaning including the rabbinical texts. To my knowledge, authorship of the latter is entirely a different topic of which I do NOT have much knowledge or interest--not because it is not interesting, but because it is orders of magnitude more complex and (personally) I just enjoy reading it and the authorship does not play into my enjoyment the way the authorship of the pentateuch lends it meaning. Can you understand how it would be different written by the patriarch of an entire ethnicity vs some unknown goat herders? The text means entirely different things under these interpretations, so the argument over authorship is worth the pursuit. Personally, i dont think it means any less in either interpretation; i think the pentateuch is invaluable regardless of your beliefs, ethnicity, or stance on JEPD. Genesis itself just might be the greatest text ever written in my humble opinion--I see new things every time I read it, and it is the closest we will ever get to understanding the the, erm, human experience of civilization itself.

Sorry for the confusion!

From my experience, uploading a PDF file to your Kindle account destroys the presentation of the content as you would usually see it on Desktop clients, like Adobe Acrobat Reader. On desktop, every A4 page can be zoomed in an out. I wish it would be possible for Amazon's ereaders to display a page at full width and allow the display to scroll down, instead of reformatting the page. I /think/, I am not sure, that if you move a pdf file onto your ereader, you can achieve this. However, in this case, you lose your sync functionality.

Anyone has any ideas on how to deal with this?

Actually a key finding in AF447 was that pilots were not trained on how to recognize and recover from a high altitude stall. It is not like flying a Cessna 150. The junior first officer didn't realize the aircraft had stalled.

Pilots were trained on the procedure for recovering from a low altitude stall; 100% or TOGA thrust and power out of it while minimizing altitude loss. Training has now changed for both low altitude and high altitude stall recovery.

> "it continues to be plagued by bugs and crashes in even mundane daily use"

Me and 5 of my friends who are also web/mobile designers moved to Sketch two years ago, during this two years I maybe had 2 or 3 crashes, and none of them affected my workflow because of the autosave feature of Sketch.

I worked for a guy once who had a piece of farmland. Right behind his land was another piece of land that did not have road access. He had a farm lane bisecting his land and he let kids use it freely to access the hills on the other land with their bikes.

A real estate developer bought the other piece of land. He hired a lawyer who filed a lawsuit saying that after a number of years of access that farm lane had become a public road even though those kids were illegally accessing that other piece of land.

The real estate developer won his case and had the farm lane paved and declared a county road. The developer then started a subdivision and eventually purchased my bosses land to extend it. If my boss had kept his farm gate shut and padlocked none of it would have happened but he was trying to be a nice guy and paid dearly for it.
so in other words... it encourages spending... because those businesses wouldn't exist otherwise.

Is this assumption based on something specific? I.e. are there good reasons to believe that they weren't trained on a diverse set of people and that such training would prevent this error from happening?

I am sorry if this comes across as mean-spirited, but, I think it is quite disingenuous to claim that Docker is a "de facto standard".

OpenVZ for instance, has well over 77K host-nodes which run over 840K containers.

These are not ephemeral setups on someone's laptop but servers that companies are spending money on each month to have in a datacenter.

IMHO (because the reporting method requires a small stats program to run, which is optional and many don't run it) there are 2 to 10 times more in actual existence.

I thought just today about writing a service similar to this, but I ask myself, as always: why didn't anyone write such an app yet? There are only complicated spam-filtering services that work at a totally different level and are unusable by small apps, and at the other side a lot of programmers writing JSON-as-a-service and TODO-apps over and over again. Why not this?

Is this a common thing? Never heard it before, it is very clever though.

How would you prevent a founder from bluffing though? Say founder B knows that founder A only has $X, so he offers to buy it for $X + some number. Makes it hard for founder A to keep any ownership of his company without taking out an expensive loan and paying way more than the company is worth.

How would you prove that nature is uniform without appealing to the belief that nature is uniform?

You watch nature for a while, and if it behaves uniformly, then you can safely act as if it is uniform. Science doesn't operate with "proof" in the same sense as logic or mathematics. There is no "proving" that the universe didn't spontaneously come into being twenty nanoseconds ago, precisely primed for us to believe we were having this conversation. But the evidence available to us very strongly suggests a wholly materialistic universe, to the point where there is basically no practical scientific value to consider otherwise.

Do you have evidence suggesting that nature is not uniform, that physics and chemistry behaved somehow differently somewhere or somewhen else?

It is of course actionable, but that assumes that everyone involved is on equal financial footing. Me, independent developer, vs a $13.65 billion market cap company and a cofounder worth more than $100 million usually won't end well no matter how egregious the conduct was.
The logical (to me) conclusion is that people need to unbunch their panties and stop looking for things to be offended about.

I don't think it's reasonable for anyone to expect an AI system, at our current level of technology, to have a complete understanding of every nuance of human pique to the degree where it will never do anything which could be interpreted as offensive by anyone.

Hell, that's a far higher bar than we humans can hope to meet in today's 'outrage culture'.

There is a cut off point as most people here would not eat humans (come on, how are human babies intelligent?) dolpins or dogs. Eating pigs just makes people hypocrites; people just ignore it and stuff it away as you need bacon and it is too annoying to face all this pesky stuff.

Are you asking whether the Vive is tied to Steam (the game distribution platform), or tied to OpenVR?

Currently Steam is the only game store that supports the HTC Vive, but as Valve co-founder Gabe Newell has said: https://reddit.com/491hu4

And the leaked HTC Viveport demonstrates: https://www.vrfocus.com/2016/01/htc-viveport-store-is-option...

There is nothing stopping other stores from selling games for the HTC Vive.

As for OpenVR (or SteamVR, Valve's implementation of it), I'm not sure it makes sense to ask whether the Vive is tied to it. Is your graphics card "tied" to your graphics driver or its OpenGL implementation?

The current situation, as MrRadar said, is that games can support OpenVR and headsets can adopt OpenVR without seeking anyone's permission. Compare that to the situation with the other leading VR headset and make of it what you will.
He worked at the company for 20 months. That's almost two years. If this was an undercover stunt, then he was pretty committed to this.
I've been using Sketch on and off for about that long as well, and have probably only had that many crashes too. Non-crashing bugs, however, still abound: Even after installing the update just this evening, I ran into a new undo bug where an undo would jump back about ten or so actions, while redo would step through them one by one. And this is to say nothing of the perennial issues with object alignment, the inexplicable inability to move an object along an axis with the shift key, something I slogged through again this evening.

That said, most of these things can be worked around, and the benefits of Sketch are enough that a lot of designers can overlook them. Personally, though, I'm probably going to switch full-time to Affinity Designer once symbol support is released.
It would be amazing to have a vector graphics editor that has an underlying editable code representation. One of the major pain points of graphics software today is the assumption that your work is destructive; Illustrator (and probably others) allow you to make non-destructive edits using Pathfinder and such, but it quickly becomes a massive pain once you're more than a few layers deep. I'd love to be able to define complex relationships between shapes and attributes in code and then jump back to WYSIWYG mode to work out the details. It's quite a complex problem to put both modes on equal footing, however.

> I don't know how Xmonad handles tabs,

Your layout is essentially what I'm referring to.

I now understand what you're saying; yes, I use Xmonad exclusively for tiling, but from my understanding it does support some degree of tabbing.

i3 looks very interesting, though; I think I might have to research it a bit.

Thanks for the discussion. :)

EDIT: Okay, I've spent about 15m reading documentation and playing with it a little bit, and I'm sold. On the WM, that is; I'm not so sure about dropping tabs in browsers just yet, but I can see how you'd want that, and how it might even work well.

...so damn you; I'm going to be very tired in the morning playing around with this thing!

One strategy that might be going on - get as much out into the public as fast as possible and gain sympathy and in turn comfort from buyers counsel.

GM's lawyers are probably pretty conservative but if they can get comfortable that the claim is weak they can likely craft a structure that would allow the merger to close without resolving this dispute. Likely setting up some sort of escrow agreement to set aside proceeds until the lawsuit it settled. If they get declaratory judgement- they win and can close. If they don't it gives GM's lawyers time to figure out a structure that allows them to close anyway.

In that scenario (loss on Declaratory Judgment) Kyle and Jeremy could fight it out or settle without derailing the merger.

Spot on. It's becoming increasingly clear that the student debt bubble will blow up, no differently than the housing bubble.

And just like the housing bubble, the clever ones are going to end up getting Uncle Sugar to pay off their loans, while a large majority will end up 'doing the right thing' to their own disadvantage. Of course, the big banks and financial entities that own these loans will come out just fine.

Then we can move on to the next staple to financialize, perhaps unborn generations since there's not much left.
