I moved from Apache Groovy to Clojure for writing tests for my own software about 5 years ago. A single limited-range macro can cut out a lot of repetitive syntax of the sort found in repetitive test cases. A one-line Clojure macro can easily do the same as what it takes 50 lines of Java defining a Groovy annotation.

The small amount of time it takes to learn Clojure and get used to its syntax is well worth it. Too bad not many workplaces are willing to similarly switch from Groovy to Clojure for writing tests. They even stick with the older Groovy version 1.8. Once something works, they won't upgrade.
I looked around the Make WOnder site for a github repo or something to download and try the language. Don't see it. How do we try this out?

I have co-taught a Scratch club 4 times for kids in the 10-12 yr old range. And will teach a Python club in the coming Fall semester for kids in the 10-14 yr old range. I am nto a real teacher but am lucky to work with a CS professor from a local college.

For the Python class I am thinking of a Raspberry Pi per kid, plus KVM. And NoStarch text as class material.

So how do I evaluate Make Wonder?
It's not an Intel Atom, but a low spec low power Celeron. The J3060 has no hyperthreading and without the boost it's as slow as the Atom 330 (which has HT). So after 8 years, there is no Atom brand anymore, and the next best option is as slow as back then and costs about the same.

An interesting map is an exaggerated-relief map of Europe as far east as Moscow, with marks for all known battles. Over the centuries, they were mostly in the same places. It gives you a sense of how geography affects politics.
There was definitely some of that. Kennedy using the "missile gap" as part of his campaign is a classic example. But I think a lot of it was legitimate misunderstanding too. This was before the age of satellites, so information was hard to come by, especially with the USSR being such a big place, and with the Soviets trying to make their forces look bigger than they were. For example, they'd fly the same airplanes past a crowd multiple times, to make it look like they had more than they did.

I imagine there was also a great desire to err on the side of caution. If they underestimated Soviet strength, they'd be risking the survival of the nation. If they overestimated Soviet strength, they'd just be in a great position if war broke out.
Can Intelligence Agencies Read Overwritten Data? (2004)
No it doesn't. Picasa was a desktop app that isn't updated anymore. It's not Google+ Photos or Photos. It's a different product that people used.
I understand the technical limitations.

But here's what I don't understand at all...

Has anyone ever been sailing? On yachts we have radios, but these radios are designed assuming the person operating it might be completely ignorant.

So we have this literal red button, you lift a flap, hold down the button and the radio sends an SOS with complete GPS coordinates and boat name on Channel 16. Then it leaves it on channel 16 so you can describe the emergency.

So back to smartphones, on smartphones we have dialer apps, these apps know when you dial 911. Why in holy heck don't they have a big red button on-screen which when pushed sends your current GPS coordinates USING VOICE over the open line?

Here's what we need to do that:

- Dialer app. CHECK.

- GPS. CHECK.

- Some kind of UI. CHECK.

- Text to voice system. CHECK.

We have all of the components to roll out a system TODAY which tells 911 via voice where you are calling from. It would almost be free, but we haven't, and nobody is suggesting it.

Everyone is talking about these crazy complicated standards that will, best case, be available in 2021 and cost ungodly amounts. I am talking about using voice which the operator themselves can type in.

Am I mad here? Why isn't this a thing? Why doesn't the dialer even DISPLAY GPS coordinates when you dial 911?

Seriously I bet if someone made this a big deal we could get Apple and Google to sign on almost immediately and this would be available within a year. All smartphones already have all of the prerequisites to do this!
That's only partially true. A big company that is profitable is invariably found to have evolved from a small company with profitable unit economics. That company may have run at a loss for many years to grow market share, though.

The counterexamples that other people are mentioning here actually all have secret histories that showed they tested revenue models early on. Amazon.com started as a couple Perl scripts to sell books online; Jeff Bezos tested it out to make sure that a.) people would buy books and b.) he would make more money on each book than he spent before seeking massive funding to grow the business. Google had about a half dozen plausible ways of making money in mind at the time they hired Urs Hoezle (employee #9 and their first VP of engineering). Facebook ran experiments with local business ads when they were a bunch of guys in Palo Alto, before they took VC. Twitter had periodically run experiments with ads & sponsored tweets starting in 2008, which had shown they could be instantly profitable if they were willing to sacrifice user growth.

But there's a very big difference between knowing you can be profitable and being profitable. You should definitely verify the former before scaling up massively. But if you know that you can be profitable, it is often more profitable in the long run to run at a loss and build up market share.
Ah if 1Password doesn't work, that's definitely a blocker for me. I could always copy the usernames and passwords from the app, but I don't think I need to test the latest and greatest features that badly.
> That does not say anything of the sort.

Do I have to read it for you too?

Me: "Are you suggesting Haskell can generate object files, shared objects, and binaries for my systems without compiling to C or C++ first?"

You: "Of course, that's what ghc does by default."

And now you claim you were not saying "anything of the sort" when I point out that you claimed "Haskell natively supported compiling to the targets I am using without even knowing what those targets are"?

> Not if you actually wanted help they aren't.

100% they are. Unless you can explain how me naming the systems I support has any relationship to whether or not some Haskell implementation has the ability to generate human-readable C code?

> But since you actually just want to shitpost

The only shitpost here is you backtracking your claims repeatedly.

Unless you listed those Haskell implementations you claimed existed somewhere and I missed it?

I'd appreciate a link if so.

If not: Good bye again.

Privacy is a very strange thing. Even though I know that what I comment in online forums like HN is public for all intents and purposes it sends chills down my spine to think that we as a community could be shaped as you say.

And if they are able to do so, how do they do it? I mean, besides the obvious tools like sockpuppet accounts and such, how do you build a strategy to steer an online community? what kind of psychological tools do you need to employ?

Obviously psyops and humint people have decades of research on public manipulation, but still... how do you measure success? how do you keep it out of the participants' attention in a community that is full of educated (on these issues) people, or at least more educated than the average Joe I would hope?
I can add this. I worked as a union electrician, as an apprentice, in San Francisco in 1999. My first job site was Pac-Bell park. My next few job sites were residential units. Developers would buy office buildings, gut them, and build condos/homes.

I worked on at least five different job sites around that city. Everyone one of the job sites were residential condo/homes. There was a slight building boom going on, but nothing like today.

I forget the exact prices of the residential units, but the cheapest one was $950,000, and they went up to 2.5 million quick.

All the units were tastefully done. You got a parking spot. You got a nice place. They were built for wealthy people. I can't imagine what they are going for today.

The companies I worked for added, roughly, I'm guessing close to 400 residential units. I don't think it made a difference in home prices.

Coworkers used to joke around, "Hay, when you get up to $100/hr(including benefits) you will be able to move right in." It was a joke back then; it's a joke now.
That entirely depends on if we are talking about this DAO or DAOs in general.

A DAO focused on gaining revenue doesn't need to hire people to achieve that.

There a decentralized asset exchanges where other companies have raised capital. A DAO could access those to buy shares completely programmatically, for example. It could trade oil futures till eternity if it wanted. It could create a contract for an agent at a particular address that promises payment for the construction of a robot factory in Shenzen, in that example a human would be the agent on the other side of that address, but the DAO doesn't need to know that.
At the very least, if you use Safari for development you won't need to run Babel every time you change something and want to test it, only for release builds or when you want to test on other browsers, which is nice.

If I was in Snowden's shoes and I realized the scope of NSA spying and that I had virtually unlimited access to internal documents I likely would have downloaded everything possible too.

How would you know what was significant and what was not? Think about how many man-hours it has taken to analyze the various documents released so far.

Is Snowden responsible for all the documents he gave to the press? Sure.

Should he have carefully filtered them all one-by-one before downloading them from the NSA? No way - it's far too much and too subjective work to be done by just one person.

Should The Intercept have published these? That's open for debate but I don't for a second question Snowden's gathering of them in the first place.
Ah that's a good point that both you and	scottcha make regarding the typing strengths/weaknesses of children, which would make a typing-based approach maybe non-practical. I guess more generally what I was trying to better understand was whether or not the use of these fitted blocks (as I understand Scratch to do) has been studied enough to be considered more fruitful in developing an understanding of rudimentary programming rather than a more free-form way of doing so (maybe just blocks that can be combined in any way, even if they don't work as intended). Maybe said a slightly different way: why did MIT researchers choose to use a "coloring in the lines" method (which may hinder creativity and potentially interest)?
In the UK flats - apartments - are often run by a limited liability management company which collects maintenance fees and makes sure maintenance is performed.

Some or all of the flat owners are directors, and company accounts have to be filed in the usual way.

They're not co-ops in the usual sense, but they're not so different in practice. Obviously these companies aren't run for profit, but it's not unusual for companies to accumulate rainy day reserves and to make a little from interest.

Some fine corruption there.

What good are insane labor costs if people can't actually benefit from them -$52 an hour? Isn't that like $100k per year? And another $42 for pension. Now I don't wonder why they're bringing in foreign labor force. SAP developers don't earn that much in eastern Europe, and in the US all sheet metal grunt labor can.

Also the company allegedly paid them about the same they'd get in Slovenia. Genius, really, but stinks somewhat. In eastern Europe people go abroad to work, but usually because you can earn a multiple of what you'd get at home. Double or triple or more.

And how come they can even try this crap, import a hundred foreign laborers and employ them on invalid visa?

Local PD never checked their papers or queried Immigration on that? No one cares once they get cleared?
It's true it's not easy to evaluate the programming languages without a robot, but you can definitely get a feel for them by just running the apps - Wonder for state-machines (aka "flow-based programming") and Blockly for traditional Scratch-style programming.

The thing is what you linked is the docs of an implementation not the interface.

I guess I've just had a different experience. I come from almost no PL/ML background and I've found the Iterator interface in Rust(along with Option/Result) to be some of the most impressive, clear things about the language.
Maybe a possible solution (and startup idea) would be to have an app for initiating emergency calls, which puts the user into a conference call with an assistant operator at the app's developer company and a 911 dispatcher.

- If the user doesn't know the location, and they have given the app permission to read GPS data the assistant operator could check the phone's location data and chime in with the correct address in the conversation.

- If the user is unable to speak, they could send text messages to the assistant operator, who would relay them to the 911 dispatcher.

- If the user is unable to do anything more than pressing a button, and if they've given the app permission for this, the assistant operator could check the messages or other data on the user's phone to try and find out what the issue is (e.g. domestic violence.)

- The user could initiate a video call with the assistant operator who could theoretically be able to more accurately describe certain issues (assuming they are better trained medically) than the user themselves could.
Then everyone here would complain about privacy/big government/orwellian dystopia
Having done similar pentests on similar applications during my previous jobs, you can imagine the level of security many editors have on the pair (client app, server). And we are talking here about a banking application: banks have always been more concerned buy security than other software consumers.
Interesting and thanks for the summary, seems the motivations are a bit clearer to me now. Is there intention in moving Anaconda's unique features upstream?
Premature optimization and all that... Worry about it when it looks like it might matter.

In other words, why can't more companies be like Apple? Or Oracle, or Microsoft, for that matter.
FWIW multilingualism isn’t just for the privileged, by a long shot (though I don’t know what the sample for the study was). Lots of people in third world countries are bi- or multilingual.
I don't know what evidence you have about people not living above one another. We've been doing it for thousands of years at this point.

I personally think the best places I've ever lived were areas where the housing stock is primarily three flats. You still have a lot of space, and you can find space to be alone when you want to be. The density enables a lot of amenities within walking distance, as well as making casually meeting neighbors easy. More densely populated neighborhoods have the lack of space you describe.

I moved to an area with a similar lot size, but all the houses are single family. It's borderline unwalkable, and it's still much more densely populated than the average suburb. The suburbs I think are the worst density imaginable. You are still close enough to other people to annoy one another, but not close enough to interact in a humanizing way. Most of your interactions will be only when someone intrudes into your bubble in some way.

I think there are a lot of benefits once you get up to a more rural density. You can have a shop, you have fresh air, and nature, etc.

The midpoint where you aren't stacked is the worst in my mind though.
Thanks will add that :P
No, this plugin works without Racer. I use it every day and I don't see any problems with code completion. Except of cases where code completion isn't supported yet :) But it's all personal and better to try - it's free.

And I tried Racer with Microsoft Visual Code plugin - it works without any lags, very fast. Just fails sometimes :)

> So, it's a sweatshop because people are encouraged to work, and not browse Facebook behind a closed door?

It is a sweatshop because management is trying to impose a rigid pace of work and a surveillance scheme on employees.

The word "sweatshop" is traditionally (AFAIK, don't have access to OED right now to confirm) associated with garment cut-and-sew workshops, which are organized exactly like an open plan programming office: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sewing+factory&t=ffsb&iax=1&ia=ima...

The false dichotomy you present (you are either working exactly like we tell you to work when and how we tell you to work, or you must be slacking off) is exactly the kind of rationalizing used by sweatshop managers who are trying to break unions or deskill workers. I recommend reading David Noble's _Forces of Production: A Social History of Industrial Automation_ and Ellen Rose's _User Error: Resisting Computer Culture_ to learn more about how and why these efforts are used, why they are counterproductive, and to learn how to recognize when management is trying to apply them to your work as a computer programmer.
New York City's mayor has pledged to build (and preserve) that many units of affordable housing alone over the next 10 years [1]. About 80,000 of those will be new construction [2].

The broader picture is more vigorous. Developers applied to build 60% as much (over 50,000 units) in 2015 alone [3].

This is a political problem San Francisco has dug itself into.

I was going to reply it wasn't that long, until i realized ie will be around in meaningful numbers for another 4 years. Windows 7 is supported until 2020, and IE is the only game in town there for enterprises. The new distribution policies of w10 will mean plenty of places will run out the clock on w7 support. So, yeah, I guess we're supporting IE 11 for half a decade to come.

I agree that "blockchain" is essentially a database protocol for a special kind of database, but I'm fairly sure there's no standard, agreed-upon, single "blockchain protocol."

Bitcoin may be the best-known blockchain protocol, but there many others in active use.
Is there a standard? What standards body has decided it and where can I see it's tests enumerated?

Or do you mean the quick and dirty 'field sobriety tests' that many police offers use? I'm not aware of those being actual standards or tests so much as quick and dirty tools to justify the effort of /actual/ standards tests (BTW, I recall hearing that you should always demand the blood test over the breath tests).
