It's trivial if you use a Gemfile: `gem "capistrano", "~> 3.4.0"` or `gem "capistrano", "3.4.1"`. You will stay on a version of Capistrano before 3.5.0. That's what I'm going to do, along with some more research into setting up Docker and something like Kubernetes for our deployments.

I have seen analyses of ECM software; and I think they could benefit greatly from a new language.

The priority seems to be reliable real-time computation, and the solution is to calculate everything as a continuous function. Anything that would be a branch is instead a binary mix of the conditions, triggered with a threshold function.

I can think of many ways of structuring programs which are spaghettiish in C, but would yield the desired results in an automotive ECM.
This makes a lot of sense to me. At the very least, I think that most American organizations undergo a substantial cultural transition as they scale, so it makes sense we'd also need a process transition.

The problem I see is that people aren't really willing to be honest about the cultural transition that happens, so we also can't be honest about the process transition.

I think Agile-ish approaches work very well in startups, because the structure is pretty flat, and the goals are shared. But as companies grow, they tend to become what I think of business feudalism: hierarchical, control-oriented, territorial. For that, it makes sense you need different processes. And I think large company Agile is in effect Waterfall with a faster cadence, so you get that different process. But nobody will admit it. "We're doing Agile," they say, with too-bright eyes and gritted teeth.

What I wonder is: what if instead of killing the peer culture and the human-centered process as we scaled, we kept them?

The Tea Party is full of climate change deniers [0], Birther adherents [1], people that believe Obama is a Muslim/traitor/both [2], people that advocate for a return to the gold standard [3], anti-vaxers [4], people who don't believe in evolution [5], obstructionists [6], and so much more. These ideas are expressed by Tea Party candidates, leaders, and elected officials, not just fringe-groups.

So yeah, I don't put it past the Tea Party to be against anything Democrats might express support for. It's really not that outlandish.

How to Network and Get the Most Out of Every Conference
I understand this wasn't directed at me but seeing as I had a similar reaction I hope I can give you some explanation of my response.

Firstly however, I'd like to apologize for the tone of my response below. While I stand by my post's general idea I feel it was poorly worded and came out unnecessarily hostile and combative, along with overly dismissive of your point of view. I'm going to leave it up unedited if for no other reason than to serve as an example of how not to engage in these discussions. In particular, I really shouldn't have made any assumptions about your specific background and again, my apologies.

The exact reasons why I disagreed so strongly with your post are proving difficult for me to illustrate beyond what I've already written. In essence, by painting the act of self defense as being morally or ethically ambiguous, I feel that you are essentially dismissing the experiences that those like myself, who have had to endure violence first hand, have had. I fully accept that I may be misreading your intent here but it comes off as somehow equivocating a defensive response to violence with using violence to prey on others.

Its also upsetting to me because I run across similar sentiments in my daily life that I find troubling. While I consider myself fortunate to both work and socialize with people of many different classes and races I find certain attitudes held by most of those who had the luxury of middle-upper class upbringings regarding being poor to be problematic. I understand this may not be the case with you and I overreacted.

All too often however I come across people espousing views on what it's like to be poor or be surrounded by violence without ever having been poor or surrounded by violence. It comes off as dismissive of my experiences.

It also showcases the problem of racial and economic segregation that is becoming increasingly widespread in the US whereby the burden of being poor and living around violence is increasingly being cordoned off from the rest of society. To me this is expressed by views such as yours that hold self defense as morally ambiguous. It's telling that not a single person who I grew up around would ever consider their right to self defense, even if using deadly force, to be problematic. The only people who I've ever heard espouse these views have never encountered violence at all. I understand that this may not be you, and that there probably exist people who have been victims of violence and still view deadly force as unjust, I've just never met any myself and this surely distorts my perspective.

I'm unsure if this post makes a coherent argument that explains my views succinctly but I hope it helps.

Either way, sorry about the tone of my previous comment.
It's not manned.
Agree. I have no doubt the decision was based on lots of data and that Google got it right. And for my part I agree. I would imagine 95% of the people zoomed in around NYC are looking specifically for NYC. Having other, smaller cities labeled on the map only makes it more confusing.
Just to be clear, I don't have an argument. I am just a curious observer who's trying to follow and make sense of what's being discussed here.

However, since you brought it up, do you have issue with 'smart guns' given that apparently most guns are purchased only to ever be used at ranges?

Many people seem to. I've actually been looking for negative feedback, since I thought some of the earlier drafts were better. I am just some guy with an opinion though.

I'd actually argue the contrary - viewing the map in transit is for the most part useless (not to mention dangerous if you're also the driver), and I'd assume most people rely on the audio cues rather than actually using the map. I would also guess that users would perhaps only look at it either prior to departure to get a general idea of what their route is like or when they're very close to their destination to look for something like parking or other landmarks to help navigate once near the location. (e.g., trying to navigate a new city and dealing with one-way streets)
One of the questions I have: what are 3D printers in this weight class being used for beyond novelty?

I like shiny tech as much as anybody here, and I'm certainly excited by the potential of 3D printing. But companies eventually have to survive on actual revenues. And for people who make tools, that generally means their customers have to use the tools to make money.

As an example, my brother makes custom wood furniture, so he buys saws and saw blades. As long as people want wood furniture for their homes, saw-makers get a slice of that. What are 3D printer makers getting a slice of to sustain their business?

I'm surprised the author didn't mention the main difference between paper maps and google maps. That is, google maps is interactive. With a paper map what you see is what you get. You had to cram as much information as it would allow. But this is not the case with google maps. You can zoom in, out, and anywhere in between. You can't compare the two based on the level of information displayed at one fixed zoom level because google maps is 3D whereas traditional paper maps are 2D.

The amount of money is mostly outside of the control of science, but encouraging students to become professional scientists when you know there is no funding to employ them at the end of their training is immoral. Until the funding situation changes then we need to stop misleading students about what to expect.
"Never bet anything but maybe your startup on a tech that you can't find anybody else your size trying out. Try searching "$TECH sucks" and similar queries on the Internet. If you can't find anything, that's not a sign the tech is too awesome to have flaws... it's a sign nobody's using it! "

Great comment and it goes aptly with your username.
That sounds nice, I spent a good chunk of today hacking on a FRP implementation similar to Elm and the ability to not clone + a few other things around closures kept painting me into a corner each time. I even went as far to drop down to std::mem::transmute_copy, but when I hit a Box<Fn(A) -> B> the type has already been erased and I can't recover it.

It seems like if you have no references in your closure you should be able to pass them around as a value-type(with generics, of course). From what I can tell without that there's a whole range of FP patterns that just aren't representable in Rust because of it.
I think SafeSEH on Windows has a similar pitfall, though in this case it is a /SAFESEH switch in ML.

> You seem to be saying that we should rather limit the number of scientists than pay for the ones we can train.

This is still an open question. At least in biomedical sciences, there's been an explosion in the number of PhDs awarded. Biomedical postdocs get paid ~$40k/year on average, and it's increasingly likely they'll be stuck in that position for 10+ years (or you'll leave for a non-science job). I luckily won't have to go through that, but most of my friends are.

An alternative is produce less, better paid, better trained scientists.
Yeah, the pricelist is there so they can say "look, we have a price list on our website". I'm sure nobodys paying those prices.

they didn’t “install Windows 95”, they ran it in an emulator.

That guy is awesome.

I went to a conference in Portugal a number of years ago, and met him at the dinner for the speakers. He was super humble, and quite interested in my own very practical experience as a consultant/contractor and what kinds of problems I faced.

I came away deeply impressed not only by how bright he is, but what a good person too.
Hmm, I guess I'll have to give it another try.

Edit: I remembered the problem. It's not closing the last tab, it's closing the window that closes all tab groups for that window. More generally, the problem for me is that tab groups are local to a window. In practice this basically means that if you want to use tab groups, you can't also use multiple windows, because managing multiple windows each with multiple tab groups pretty much guarantees that you'll go insane trying to keep track of where everything is and which windows are safe to close.

I think I would much prefer if tab groups were shared across windows, and each window would "claim" a tab group as its own. Closing that window would either close that tab group or even just "detach" from it, leaving the tab group available for another window to claim it. Essentially, it would work sort of like tmux only with windows and tab groups instead of terminals and shells. (Possibly with the limitation that only one window can view a given tab group at once.)

I'd love to use tab groups to organize a large number of tabs, but ultimately, the fact that your tab groups are always a single close button away from being blown away is a deal breaker. (I know I can restore the window to get them back, but that's only if I remember while that closed window is still in the "Recently Closed Windows" menu.)
Aww, it's such a tiny Windows 95 :3

I'm surprised Win95 could handle the (very) odd resolution, even smaller than desktops would have at the time, or is it standard VGA downscaled?
> C# and D, for example, have had most of these features for a few years

Come on, now. D is 15 years old, C# 16.

Python is more than 25 years old.
Note how that's an anti-feature.
Possibly, but my point was that the actually-effective measures come decades before end-of-life.
I think there's a gap that could be filled by making a nice front-end to C++ with nicer simpler (even Pythonic) syntax.

Drop the semi-colons, convert "dict of int to string' to map<int, std:string> etc.

It would be ok if it only did a subset of C++ at first.

I would say that most of the features in the article (e.g. lambdas) originated in functional languages, not Python. Static type inference, in particular, comes from the functional world. Python's dynamic typing is completely opposite.

Like every aspect of a business, the value of the brand and reputation is tracked as an asset, and is called “goodwill” in company reports. For every quarterly report Stratasys has released after the acquisition of MakerBot, a goodwill impairment charge – a markdown on the value of the MakerBot brand – has been recorded. Including the 2015 yearly report, Stratasys has taken a total goodwill impairment charge of nearly one Billion dollars for MakerBot. Keep in mind Stratasys acquired MakerBot for $403 Million in stock. Stratasys has written off nearly double the value it paid through the failures of the MakerBot brand.

How exactly does "goodwill impairment" work? A billion dollar tax writeoff?! This sounds like some kind of scam.
Source? I'd like to read about this.
I still don't understand how this stuff is so hard. The US pulled it off in a few years, in the 40s. Total cost of a few billion. The biggest issue is enrichment, but again, they did it within that time and budget. Several other countries/physicists were on to the same idea.

Even a simple gun type with a 20kton yield is enough to severely harm a city, right? So even without the complexities of implosion or thermonuclear, it seems any dedicated actor, even a private one, should be able to pull it off. Delivery systems aside; I'd guess testing ICBMs would be difficult enough by itself.

What am I missing?

Most of these features were not present in Python until later (mentioned in the article: "In 2001, Python added statically nested scopes, which allow lambda functions to capture variables defined in enclosing functions"). And if we're discussing the original source of these features, Lisp had every single one of these before Python even existed.
Yes, "anything like this"... TFA links to a simple, one-step app that converts an image to a one-bit black and white image using a particular dithering technique. Commenter wanted to know if such a simple "do one thing well" app actually exists. I think neither of you read the article at all, and based your replies solely on the content of other replies, and if that's the case, it's exceedingly unfair to the poor guy who just wanted a command line dithering app.
That would avoid transmitting the key to the server, but in the scenario I mentioned, it would still be accessible to the backdoor via window.location.hash.
