It's wonderful to have a succinct word for a concept like that; I wish there were such a word in English. Do you have any background information about the origins and meaning of this word?
re 1.0, when it's done :D
I think a lot is preference. I think HTML in JS is dirty just like HTML in server side strings. Other people feel the opposite, that putting new tags which are similar to inline onclicks and other events that we moved away from w jQuery is dirty. There is truth to both.

Angular gives a lot of flexibility in code style and structure. You can componetize everything and have all your component files in one folder. You can inline it. Or you can go more MVC style folder structure like I do.

I personally like my html being approachable to junior devs and not being so chopped up and abstracted away from static HTML markup like it might be with React. Not sold on the new tag styles of A2 but I suppose it will just take some adjustment.
Of course, but how many years did it take for Lua to get there? Without piggybacking off existing libraries, prepare for a very long journey!

In general, the language does not matter much - the ecosystem does and it includes libraries, integrations, etc.

> The tools and documentation for building and running Node are awful compared to a lot of other languages.

Can you be more specific?

> It's just a big runtime, and a lot of overhead because of the way libraries and dependencies are handled.

Compared to what exactly? I don't see any mainstream dynamic language except Lua doing better. Ruby? Python?

If you don't need native modules (which is actually the case in a surprising number of situations) there is no build process, except making a tarball of node_modules and the project. If you do need native modules, the situation is slightly worse than C or C++, but not significantly: you generally need to build on a machine with the same architecture (Setting up cross-compilation with C isn't very easy either)

> A lot of overhead because of the way libraries and dependencies are handled.

This has some truth to it, but in my experience its overblown. Being just a little bit careful with your dependencies goes a long way.

The Raspberry Pi 2 is a speed monster for node. Plenty of RAM. Here is a basic 2012 benchmark on the Pi 1: http://guidogarcia.net/blog/2012/09/13/node-js-on-my-raspber...

On the other hand, if you want to run node on something like this: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/iMX233/iMX233-OLin... that will definitely be a problem. Thats about the lowest specced hardware that can (barely) run it, but 64MB RAM just isn't enough, really.

P.S. Based on what you said, I have a hunch that most of your troubles came from this module: https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3 - is that right?

What is the point of wasting precious resources and taxpapyer money on this ?
I'm not aware of any other bookmarking services specifically tailored towards devs, so I can't speak to that. In terms of what we do differently to other general bookmarking services, our big one right now is the GitHub integration — we sync your starred repos as bookmarks, tag them by language automatically, and also sync related metadata like last release and commit date. I find it really handy to have my bookmarks and stars in one spot, because I save a lot of dev-related resources and I can never remember, did I bookmark an article about that library or did I star its repo? Now I can just look in the one spot for everything. Also, the metadata on last commit etc is very handy for keeping an eye on how active libraries are without having to watch them and wade through the full feed of their issues, etc.

In the future we'll be working on other developer-oriented features like an API, webhooks, maybe Stack Overflow integration or a CLI client, depending on what users want.

Joke's on them.. I unfriended plenty of people for being sick of their never taking a stance on anything meaningful. There is no safe option, at least not with me. Or as the title of that documentary about Howard Zinn goes, you can't be neutral on a moving train. Besides:

Yes, speaking in regards to the economic concept, more than half of China is still a third world country.

They have about 900 million people living on $7 or less per day. Half a billion people there are living on $3-$4 or less per day. Of the poorest two billion people on earth, more than 1/3 are in China. Their income numbers for the bottom 50% compare with the poorest nations on earth.

Granted, the problem with China is it possesses the most inequality of any major nation between the top 50% and the bottom 50%, due to the vast rural vs east coast gap in incomes. The nation with the second most billionaires, that has half a billion people living as subsistence farmers.

I.E.: Pinboard continues to exist, so why would anyone choose Larder? The Github integration is neat, but there isn't much difference between this and just pinning repos, or a Zapier + Pinboard/Pocket/whatever recipe to save starred repos. (or just...starring repos? which is already a form of stored bookmark?) I dunno, having a hard time seeing a value proposition here.
So 100M people have to suffer because one person mis-used a tool? That's disproportionately harsh punishment and not to defend in any case.
> The tail number is N927NA.

As a European, the phrase 'tail number' was unfamiliar so I did a few searches.

It seems to have derived ( in the USA ) from original airline fleet-numbering practice, where the aircraft would have an arbitrary and unhelpful state- or even city-issued registration and a separate self-assigned fleet number painted on the tail, which was easier to handle for scheduling purposes.

Once national N-numbering for registrations was introduced this became less common because the FAA permitted reservation of blocks of sequential registrations, but some large airlines continue to use a parallel fleet numbering scheme. And the phrase 'tail number' stuck in parlance instead of 'registration'.

In Europe it is common to use to the last two or three letters of registrations repeated on the tail or nose-wheel doors as the fleet airframe identifier and 'tail number' is unknown.

I have been on cold showers for almost a year now. Can't imagine going back to warm showers, even in the dead of the winter.
The coldest shower I took was perhaps in Switzerland in December - I lasted for a couple of minutes or so in the shower. It was a fabulous experience nonetheless.
Why take a cold shower ? I was spending way too much time in hot showers, almost 20-30 minutes. Criminal waste of time and water.
Am not sure about the benefits, haven't noticed anything change in my body, but it's a great feeling to come out of an icy cold shower. Suddenly, the world feels warmer :)

Not only idiotic but also immoral. If you obey an immoral law you are acting in a way which strengthens that law and keeps other people under its influence. By your actions you are essentially condemning people to be affected by an immoral law - which in itself is immoral behavior.
They should shut down access to the whole internet in Brazil, then. It happens to be full of companies, forums, services and data networks which probably don't give a rat's sit-upon about what the law in Brazil or any other country says but just keep on transmitting messages and bits from user to user.

I don't think being a messenger should come with obligations to divulge private persons' conversations or, more generally, bits to anyone. Local laws can force local companies to do so but it has nothing much to do with internet: a letter remailing company (or, the post office, as we used to say in the 1900's) could provide similar service.

To generalise, all private communications reduce down to talking in private. If you really had to, you could talk to your friend in private and there's nothing any government could do to retrieve those conversations back after the fact. Technological means just make the communication more flexible but it should not mean the conversation should become less private just because it happens on the internet instead of the local backwoods.

In fact, when governments (across the globe) do that it will only motivate creating solutions which make it impossible for the company to hand over their customer's data, with end-to-end and client-side encryption. Yet all governments do see that it's their right to make demands because it's always the easy thing to do.

I think that makes them more trustworthy. If some open source software has never seen a CVE, then that is because no-one actually looked at it in depth enough. All software has bugs and security issues.
The OP is likely nothing more than wishful thinking, but I can see why people are intrigued by the prospect. An important thing to note is that it's entirely possible to perform a slow, gradual integration of Rust code into a C/C++ codebase (such as Mozilla is doing with Firefox), but only if your codebase is sufficiently modular with well-defined interfaces for Rust-based libs to slot into. If all you've got is a big ball of mud, then your first step is to work on the modularization of your codebase (which, IMO, has a good chance of increasing your code quality regardless of whether you eventually decide to introduce any Rust).
It's our greatest collective failure as an industry that we hire people for a job based on testing their skills on a completely unrelated task. A task that they'll never actually carry out in any job anywhere.

Eat My Dust founder here. The mission statement for our company is to enable everyone to live and work in a clean and healthy environment. At first, we'll start by sampling dust from your environment and based on our analysis provide a health report and alert you to any potentially dangerous materials (and what to do about it). As we grow, we'd like to drive the price of these tests to near 0. If we are successful, we may not even need to do a test, but rather we can predict your environment based on several features that prove to be predictive across the data set.

We are still validating the idea at this point. If awarded the YC fellowship, we'd use the funds to test the market for this service. The goal is to collect data on what type of customers would use this service, what problems this would solve for them, what is total addressable market size, etc. For example, if we can acquire 100 paying customers who would be willing to pay $20 for an "Eat My Dust" report, we may end up spending $200 per customer to provide the service. However, at the end of this exercise we'd know whether or not this an idea worth pursuing further.

“Potentially without useful meaning”, e.g., indexing an array without knowing whether the the index is within bounds.

> Alternatively, it does make it less unsafe if that means it reduces the ability to invisibly corrupt data, hack your system, or crash your system.

Your kid (your data) attends the same school as a bully (your program). One day, the bully threatens to punch your kid in the face (raises an exception). “But it's less wrong because he never punched your kid! He only threatened it!”

> Even Rust or Ada might have a hard time meeting that definition once their pristine codes are converted into assembly.

As long as the assembly code has the same meaning as the safe program from which it was generated, it's safe.
Probably most people could justify a failed six-month project to themselves with, "you live, you learn". A decade of one's "most productive years" hurts quite a bit more. That decade looks a lot different in retrospect than it did when Holmes was selling it.

I'm not saying I would have done the same, in the same position. Then again, if I were the type to feel such a failure so keenly, I'd be more likely to be a top biochemist in the first place. Both parties were adults. The point of this thread is that Holmes ought to be treated as such.

Lab-on-a-chip technology has the potential to be the science fiction equivalent of a medical tricorder. Every doctor could have one and give instant patient feedback.

Yeah I looked at it, my firmware mostly just aims at bringing up enough stuff to be able to boot ARM, which is essentially just:

- Setting up exception vectors and enabling exceptions
- Reclocking VPU from PLLC
- UART initialization
- SDRAM initialization
- Copying an ARM blinker stub to 0x0
- ARM power domain initialization
- PLLB initialization
- Enabling passthrough mapping for ARM
- ARM AXI interface initilaization

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm missing in order to get it to work but I suspect it's related to not properly setting up the ARM PLL. I was going to port the RPi clock management driver from Linux but I don't have the time at the moment.

As far as the compiler goes, I think it works reasonably well, though I only tested it by compiling my own code with it, there may be things that cause it to error out (anything that involves the frame pointer like VLAs/some C++ features). Also code quality is not ideal since it still doesn't make use of conditional instructions (aside from conditional branches) and doesn't implement AnalyzeBranch to eliminate redundant branches.

I started cleaning up TableGen to turn multi-instruction asm prints into glue DAG in SelDAGtoDAG but I still have to do it for like 4 instructions, which is pretty much a requirement to have MC code emission.
Even easier: Gavin could ask Satoshi which public key he still has the private keys for and then encrypt a message like "Gavin dfHte48FswdeIgre35VGFqwOIhedds" using the public key and ask Satoshi to send him back the text. This proves to Gavin that Satoshi is Satoshi and Gavin can't turn and take that proof to anyone else.
>Western Europe includes Italy, Spain, Portugal and UK, too.

It does, but there's also the North/South division (even within a single country, like Italy, but even more so generally).

South Europe is not really "Western" in this sense (and in other senses, e.g. with respect to religious heritage and ethics, catholicism and orthodoxy vs protestants, etc).

so i've never met the chap who does this blog (i think his name is Will), but i've been reading it for a while now. Don't let the post with pics of legos mislead you--this guy knows what he's talking about. In particular, his posts on parameter estimation and MC simulations are excellent. His writing style is unpretentious and patient (ie, not "see how smart i am" but "here's this fascinating subject that i really want you to understand") and in every post i've read on this Blog, he's got something interesting to say even for those who work in this discipline.
From the top: "And if you're an applicant or a friend of one, please don't post in the thread below, except to answer questions about your startup."

I'm sure you just didn't see that, but we'll mark this comment off-topic.
What structural guarantees have you embedded in your corporate structure to ensure that data won't be rendered inaccessible if you have to shut the system down due to acquisition or lack of funding?

Your analogy doesn't really exemplify what actually happened. I think this is a better one:

Craig brings a set of high-resolution pictures of a Stradivarius violin to an appraiser. The appraiser(Gavin) goes over them - they all look exactly how a Stradivarius violin would look. However, his colleague(public commentators, in this case) says the only way to really appraise a Strad is to see it in person, and that going through all the trouble of getting high-res pictures when you could just bring it over was pointless. Further, the colleague notes one of the pictures shows a "Made in China" stamp on the Strad, and as such guesses that Craig is trying to con them.

If a "Made in China" stamp in itself made an appraiser instantly discard the violin, then they haven't done their job. Similarly, if Craig had provided a strong crypto proof that he was Satoshi(the physical violin, in this scenario), but people disregarded it just because it's him, then we would match your analogy.

The analogy still doesn't really match reality - the reason why Gavin was convinced is because he used tools that gave him a high confidence that he wasn't being conned. Still, the way Craig decided to demonstrate that he was Satoshi was long-winded and complicated, for no discernible reason.

Ummm... China is not a third world country. It was a second world country. In fact the whole point of the definition of first/second/third world revolves around China, the USSR, and their allies being the second world.

What you mean to say is China is a developing country. Please leave the old out dated and irrelevant cold war propaganda terminology in the past where it belongs. Remember, Switzerland and Sweden are both canonical examples of third world countries: they were allied with neither the UK/US block or the China/USSR block. Likewise, just because a country is a first world country doesn't mean it's rich -- some of the poorest countries in the world are first world countries, like Namibia.
