I'll throw two domain specific language (families) into the mix, that are psuedo-dead although not really dead.

Although amstex and latex are healthy (and latex is about 40 years old) I would argue that very few indeed are writing in raw bare macro-free package-free tex, just bare totally raw tex. I'm sure it happens... rarely.

Another psuedo-dead is postscript. In the 80s there was a famous EE pushing the idea of sending your code and data to your postscript laserprinter as a batch frontend sorta and let the laserprinter interpret the postscript and do the calculations for your smith chart, not merely print your bitmap containing a smith chart or whatever. That idea of postscript as a general purpose application language, although infinitely cool, never went much of anywhere.
I'd expect it to be up to 100 celcius at sea level pressure, because it had just been boiled. If it's hotter than that it wouldn't be a liquid. How can less-than-boiling be 'well beyond' the expected temperature of just-made tea or coffee? Your accusation is totally absurd.

Maybe I'm just being too European.
I agree, back when the UK was complaining about Google I was hoping that would push them into unifying tax policy.

The challenge though is getting everyone on board, without a common vision of how it should work, you won't get progress.

I'd be very interested to know why you think that makes a difference. These tests were run during normal checkpoint operation, with normal screeners.

Even if they used some internal knowledge, everyone here should know the adages about security through obscurity. TSA checkpoints are clearly enormously vulnerable if they can get through 95% of the time.

Having used AppleScript in the past and dealt with application stacks that relied on it, I would not characterize it as a "solution".
Why would it go away? We still need to write low-level or fast applications.
C has kind of become the evident defacto standard. There isn't anything we can really do to change that. It just did what it was meant to do very well with all of the flashy bells and whistles removed.

The underlying instructions generated by the compilers are simple to follow. Reasoning about what will be generated is an easy enough task (so long as optimization is turned off).
Thanks for that... I think it depends on one's needs... it would surprise me if Wix as using MySQL without sharding data either by route and/or site.

Personally, I'd be inclined to use PostgreSQL for most things once they have an in the box solution for replication and failover that doesn't require a commercial contract for a sane solution. Every time I've used mySQL (admittedly not for about a decade), I wind up with a lot of WTF moments. If I'm paying for it, may go with MS-SQL, or a hosted "cloud" provider as tbh, no interest in being a DBA.

I really like RethinkDB's approach as a no-sql solution, and their admin interface is second to none in this space. If you really need more scale (more than around 20 servers or so), then you should probably be using Cassandra, and/or supplementing with the likes of ElasticSearch.

In any case, if you want real-time data for hundreds of millions of users, you're going to have data partitioning and redundant replication and caching solutions.

I worked at GoDaddy on Website builder while they were transitioning their publishing target to C*, and have to say it performs incredibly well as basically a distributed file system in the role described in the post article.

Ah you're right. GUID is Microsoft's implementation of UUID. I guess, much like how many refer to tissues nowadays as Kleenex, the terms kinda got mixed around. At least in my experience from seeing how they're used.
Personally, I will say that the notion of news "offending" due to editorial stance strikes me as an awful attitude to have. I am only "offended" by poorly thought out, sensationalist, over-emotional reporting that is devoid of facts and plays on fears (this type of "reporting" occurs on both sides, unfortunately). I may disagree with a well thought out opinion, but a well thought out opinion being actually offensive? What an awful thing to think!

At any rate, even back in the old days of media there certainly were many choices for conservative news. Jim Lehrer's PBS Newshour on TV, many regional newspapers, and business papers for instance. Populism had a few non-gossip national tabloids like the New York Post; talk radio too.

It is true that a lot of media was dominated by a modest-left stance (talk radio being the exception), but I don't find bias a problem per se (we all are biased after all). I lean modest liberal personally, but back when I actually watched TV news I thought the PBS Newshour was the best of the lot, as it seemed to avoid some of the scare story traps the "big three" occasionally worked themselves up over.

Of course, these days, thanks to the web, you have every opportunity to silo yourself in one bias you are not "offended by" if you want.
I think you are confusing "systemic" and "systematic". When someone indicates a problem is systemic, they mean it is rooted in the core of the system, and is thus deeply engrained in the system and present system-wide (and generally therefore requires a change that will affect everything from top to bottom in order to fix).

Edit: though I see you've used systematic from the start, so maybe that was your intention.
Obligatory and relevant Hoare quote:

“I don't know what the language of the year 2000 will look like, but I know it will be called
Fortran.” —Tony Hoare, winner of the 1980 Turing Award, in 1982.

Given how things turned out, he might have better said:

"I don't know what the language of the future will be called, but I know it will look like C."
From an answer on that page to a similar question:

> Renderman, what we use at Pixar, is also fast but for the quality we strive to achieve is very high, so we we squeeze as much as we can into it until it just becomes too slow.

So if the renderer became faster, we would just add more quality, and make it "slow" again.
> Admitting the possibility of bias is very different than admitting bias in every single trending content decision.

They don't have to admit bias in every content decision. They have to admit systematic bias in content decisions in the aggregate, which does not necessarily imply bias in every content decision.

While it is technically, theoretically possible that their system is open to the introduction of these biases but does not actually exhibit those biases in the aggregate, it is astoundingly unlikely.

Comparisons with the Kansas City airport will probably mislead. It has a very different architecture than most other airports: it's aggressively anti-hub. That is to say, although it nominally has three terminals, each of those effectively has four or five separate secured areas.

This actually works fairly well for trips starting or ending in Kansas City, not least because it means that no security wait will reach the ridiculous lengths you see in many other airports. It also means that screening personnel have to operate 15 different security lines rather than two or three. That may be why TSA left?
Because the Elixir/Phoenix community is largely spawned from the Ruby/Rails community. They are more likely to be continuing to follow what is going on with Rails, even living in both worlds. There are many shared values and experience. That historical affinity is probably why it shows up so much in the same context. The Elixir/Phoenix community is more likely to respect and understand what Rails is and isn't as opposed to the vast majority of pretenders who say they are creating a framework inspired by, or to rival Rails, but really have no clue and proceed to put up something nowhere near the breadth or depth of Rails. Nobody who knows anything is going to come and put up an advocacy post for a PHP framework as an alternative to Rails. They know the Rails community has no interest in going that way. Elixir/Phoenix on the other hand can say with a straight face: we understand Rails and why it is successful and put forward Elixir/Phoenix as a legitimate way forward for those who want to move to a more functional paradigm and the inherent scalability advantages of a Erlang/OTA based foundation.
That's exactly the point, WaPo is actually leading the lynch mob against Trump, NYT's efforts look pale. There was time during Bush presidency when WaPo could have been centrist-ish. Even before Bezos stepped in to it took a left turn and after Bezos (a guy known for his Union busting tactics - well anti-union formation tactics), it became even more Leftist (the Corporate version).

You did not mention WaPo and NYT in liberal publications, and if you do not consider them liberal, then your politics are pretty hard core Leftist.
That won't hold up in court.
Isn't it kinda offensive to lump every east Asian group together?

OK, maybe it's not offensive. Isn't it odd that US laws target Orientals? What is an Oriental? Are sub-continental Indians oriental, are Australian aboriginals, do we care about natives of eastern Russia?

Just curious, what if you had an attorney and they pointed that clause out. Would it have made you reconsider the offer? I guess you can attempt to strike it out from contract and see what happens, or more ask for more options instead?

MMO's are vastly more complex than websites. The issue with websites is they are inherently simple, and adding one dimension of complexity is still easy. But, when people continue to underestimate what adding features actually takes they snowball into unmaintainable crap.

Especially since Apple already has! There are new extension APIs in El Capitan specifically designed for apps like Box and Dropbox to extend the Finder.

And they also released APIs designed to eliminate the need for KEXTs for virtualization products (see: Veertu and Docker for Mac beta), so I would expect them to also have/make APIs for Dropbox's use case as well.

I was excited for this. Was.
It isn't extra legal risk. You simply have legal teams copying and pasting incorporation structures and contracts, now they're about to get all their company's financials leaked.

Delaware's Court of Chancery isn't even a perk for 99.9% of businesses. Delaware's "body of case law" can be leaned on by courts in ANY state if there is a conflict that state has never seen before.
They will take your data but there isn't anything saying you have to give it to them, or that it must be accurate. Tor, pgp, VPNs, Adblockers, noscript, linux ... there are always choices.

What's the point of stock options? It's a piece of paper that allows you to buy stock if and when at a predetermined price. This price can be higher or lower, you cannot know beforehand. It's not a replacement for a salary or a stake in the company. I was handed out stock options myself for a company in the past but it wasn't worth it to use them. I mean, unless you have options from a unicorn, those don't amount to much. I have this impression that some misrepresent options with stock.
From the YC-run "How to start a startup" Stanford class:

> Then the question is: where do you form one? Theoretically you have fifty choices, but the easiest place is Delaware. I'm sure you're all familiar with that as well. Delaware is in the business of forming corporations. The law there is very clear and very settled. It's the standard. The other thing is that investors are very comfortable with Delaware. They already invest in companies that are Delaware corporations. Most of their investments are probably Delaware corporations. So if you are also a Delaware corporation then everything becomes much simpler. There's less diligence for the investor to do. You don't have to have a conversation about whether or not to reincorporate your Washington into Delaware.

> We had a company at YC about two years ago that was originally formed as an LLC in, I'll say Connecticut. The founders had lawyer friends there who said that this was right way to do it. When they came to YC we said, you need to convert to Delaware. The Lawyers in Connecticut did the conversion paperwork and unfortunately they didn't do it right. They made a very simple mistake, but it was a very crucial mistake. The company was recently raising money, a lot of money, and this mistake was uncovered. The company thought it was a Delaware corporation for a couple of years but in fact it was still a Connecticut LLC. I'll just say this: four different law firms were needed to figure that one out. Two in Delaware and one in Connecticut. One here in Silicon Valley. The bill right now is at five hundred thousand dollars for a conversion mistake.

if the assumption turns out wrong, that's not a criticism of the work otherwise based on it.

True. It is however, a criticism of everyone that conveniently forgot to mention that critical assumption, and that starts with the UTA press release.

Acting like Cuntz, et al., [..] have some kind of infantile understanding of poetry

That's not the most damning criticism in the article though. The most damning is that they seem to have copied entire paragraphs off Wikipedia, which suggests they have some kind of infantile understanding of science.
Yeah, it's totally hard to understand :P
It has 4GB of storage.

That's the marketing line: try and see. And that's the only reason I even went, as my woo-meter was off the chart. Except Goenka explicitly states the end goal, then goes on with a parable about how, if you don't accept it, you're like an ignorant child and will come around to his way of thinking. It 100% is about reincarnation; he makes this totally clear in his talk on day 3 (or thereabouts).

What really put me over the edge though was his chanting. "For good vibrations". What made me think it was cult like was the number of people repeating things in dead languages.

Additionally, he'd use manipulative techniques while speaking. Even though he was capable of speaking clearly, he'd intentionally lay on the accent, draw words out, repeat words over and over. This was laid even more clear I took a course in two languages. The translated version was quick and succinct.

Like you say, he denies this. At one point he says a sentence like "we have no dogma, nothing to believe, just the universal truth" - with no trace of irony.

Overall, between the woo and flat-out falsehoods, I found it very disingenuous. It certainly doesn't do meditation as a whole any benefit, just reinforces stereotypes. Which is a shame because some of the locations are superb, and the volunteers were extremely nice people.
Hooking into graphical software that's not designed for that is a pain in the ass. Compared to stringing together various CLI tools that primarily deal in text interfaces.

What I, personally, prefer to do is construct libraries and simultaneously develop a collection of CLI tools to access them. Then build the GUI afterward, once I've already vetted and tested the underlying business logic.

The benefit of this is the GUI for most users. The CLI for power users. The library for the developers that want to build additional interfaces or plug it into their projects directly.
Email support for most companies is awful. I've always had better response from Twitter; perhaps because it's all out in the open.

my recommendation would be to try Houdini (http://www.sidefx.com). It is different from other 3D packages as it is fully node based (and not with a node layer added on top).

It has a reputation of being difficult or long to learn, but I disagree. I find it way more intuitive, as you can see step by step what is happening. Their doc also has loads of examples and there are nice forums to ask for help (http://odforce.net and http://www.sidefx.com/forum).

If you have a logical mind, it should appear straightforward.

It really depends on your use case... if you can rely on heavy caching, then working against a transactional sql database can work for the bulk of your application, while also "publishing" to a distributed k/v store...

Most applications are probably fine regardless of the underlying data store, and are better served by what works best for the model of the data, which can often be SQL. I'm more inclined to react for mongo or rethinkdb first, as I tend to think more in terms of more complex records/objects in most of the applications I've worked on.
I killed my Dropbox Pro account and upgraded iCloud storage because the integration with the Photos app in iOS is way superior and the lack of something like Project Infinite, which results in a lot of manual folder management for my long tail of old docs. Dropbox's core sync technology is still unmatched, but the Pro offering leaves a lot to be desired over some of the better integrated experiences of Google and Apple's photos products.

I expect this to become even more of an issues after WWDC.
Thanks for digging that up. It reads vaguely familiar. The point of a EULA is for the End User to sign it. If the end user cannot understand it, does this mean they have to ask a lawyer before clicking Next in the installer?

It's not obscure. It's pretty well understood by financial markets players, including VCs. I think it's probably not well known by startup employees because it's an issue they've almost certainly never been faced with.
Not having access to this basic information is one of the reasons I left my job last year. When the CEO starts getting really weird about basic questions like "How many people are invested in us? What does the equity pool look like? How much of the company do my options represent?", it's time to look elsewhere. The company had less than 10 people at the time, which made it even weirder--and I'd been there for two years, as the first engineering hire.
