forge.laravel.com

Even if you're not using Laravel(PHP) it works for quickly spinning up a vps on digital ocean or AWS.

You can setup multiple dev/test sites on one droplet.

Deploy repo via github bitbucket.

It's super fast and easy.

We setup live site on it's own droplet then have another staging droplet. Develop locally with valet/homestead (laravel.com), deploy to staging using forge, deploy to production using forge.

Forge has quick deploy which deploys when you push to your repo.

There is also https://envoyer.io/ for zero downtime deployment.

Where do you get that idea from? Africa's growth has been going since ~2000, really taking off in 2003-2005. Nigeria's GDP grew by about 520 billion USD, or about 1000% from 2000 to 2014. In 2015 it was hurt somewhat by lower oil prices, but is still growing.

I'm sure you can't extrapolate it and assume it will stay the same for the next 30 years. But you can make reasonably educated estimates assuming that the average change in velocity will be all that extreme, given that large part of these amounts are based on income from relatively stable industries with well understood risk profiles.

Largely the development of Africa at present boils down to whether or not we see further major wars disrupt the progress. If we do, then, yes, things may go the wrong way. If not, it will take unprecedented crises to prevent Africa from continuing to see massive growth.

He said "[...] it is encouraged to think of it that way rather than calling functions."

This is what Sandi Metz talks about when she speaks about message/responsibility centric design vs data-centric design in OOP. The conceptual difference is said to lead to different designs. You don't start out your design by thinking about what data you hold but you think about which responsibilities/roles you have and create objects around those by thinking how they might talk to each other to reach their goals.

The US was a dream to follow, but it has also become a nightmare. The US federal state has become quite horrible over the years as well.

My conclusion is that current day democracy does not work at the scale of hundreds of millions of people. The US, the EU, Russia and China are all examples of that in different ways.

We need a new form of democracy which scales better than the one we have today. Only then can we try to build sustainable unions on this scale.

I have no answer to what that would look like though. I can only guess at some of the components.
Could you elaborate leading by example `how it is different`?

Seriously because unless you can define it, and quantify it then it is just rhetoric.
Maybe Polish parliament is less afraid to express what their people want. In Germany, there's on average 1 violent attack (beatings, burning of refugee centers) against immigrants per day. Yet the government acts as if there should be no debate.

A separate isssue is just a feasibility of Poland taking in immigrants. Before the most recent mass wave of refugees and migrants started, Poland had voluntarily taken some refugees from Syria. Since then, every last one of them left - mostly for rich Western European countries. How does the EU intend to prevent the refugees and migrants from leaving Poland?
Hrm, England had its own bloody Civil War, and if that wasn't enough there was also the Glorious Revolution. These were the 2 events that ultimately gave political power to the parliament.

If you look at the way Western Countries transitioned from one form of govt. to another its seems to have been very bloody. Glorious Revolution, French Revolution, American Revolution, German Revolutions, Russian Revolution etc.
I completely agree with you that in many situations like this where there is a direct democratic referendum, many do not know what what will be good for them. However, I am weary that having a small group of politicians tell the people what is good for them is much better. I'm not sure there is a clear solution.

Fansmitter: Acoustic Data Exfiltration from Speakerless Air-Gapped Computers
When you define "free market" as "absence of government regulation" then you can get whatever result you want, because you can build something that looks like a government inside it, not call it a government, and have it do the thing you need a government to do. And then if you get one of those things which is doing the bad things governments do, you do call it a government and it isn't a free market anymore.

The lesson from this is not "free markets are bad," it's "simplistic ideologies are useless."

We know that private actors are bad at some things, like funding basic research and building roads and utilities. We also know that governments are bad at some things, like making consumer products. So let the government build the roads and let GE make the washing machines.

The worst alternative is to have the government do half of something. This is the US healthcare system. Single payer has problems, but it works. The complete absence of government in healthcare would have different problems but would also work. What we have doesn't work. It's a corrupt mechanism for funneling public money into drug companies.

Here's the test for whether the government should do something: Does it make sense for the government to pay for this and then give it away for absolutely no money whatsoever to every citizen of the country? If not, the government shouldn't do it. Notice that the answer for healthcare is then not obvious, but the thing we have is not a valid answer.

> subscribe

There isn't any subscription with messages, which are sent to the object directly. There isn't any "event bus" or other complex structure. Messages are just a replacement for function calls (including accessor methods, which may be implied).

> decoupling

That's one of the primary goals. Traditionally function calls required coupling between the call and a single function or multiple functions with vtables or other polymorphism. With messages, the handling of what looks like a function call can be interpreted like an incoming event in event-driven programming.

> let object B, if it's interested, handle that

That's exactly right, but think of it as:

* Object A sends Object B an event (message)
* Object B can then handle that event in any way, such as:
- calling a function
- interpreting the event directly (i.e. all events handled the same)
- raising an exception
- ...whatever...
* Object B then returns the result which becomes
the "return value" that Object A. (this part is RPC-like)

> now B has to know about A

Not at all! I suspect you're thinking of this as a subscription model, which isn't correct.

One of the key benefits of messages is that objects never need to know about each other's type (in either direction). Ignoring types and simply sending messages to objects (regardless of their type) is called "duck typing"[1]. As long as an object responds in a useful way to the messages ["year", "month", "day"], it isn't important if the object is actually of type Date.

> the richer parts have to give to the poorer

That's what's different monetary-policy-wise. California, for instance get's like 10 cents on the dollar back from its federal tax burden. Those 90 cents are used to shore up economically (and perhaps other kinds of) backward states like Mississippi. Nothing like this happened in the EU. Germany keeps a lions share of revenue and sends a tiny trickle back to the EU. This was never going to last long. Britain has probably only hastened the inevitable.

What stats are you looking at? Surely you have a link that backs this up.
That is sad. Blaming the EU for what esentially is a global recession, a period of wealth redistribution fostered by globalization and technology, and massive demographic movements caused by multiple crisis around the world.

Getting out of the EU will not solve any of that. It could be that isolated countries will do better economicaly, and will be able to isolate themselves from the problems happening around them. It could be that you stay rich, or become richer, by closing your eyes and ears to the suffering happening around you, while the rest are left carrying the burden.

How sad.

The EU is the chance of Europe to be heard around the world, a great project being squandered by some right wingers opportunists.
I feel like you're missing a big piece of the puzzle. A friend of mine did a lot of research for the book Slave Nation, and he summed up the circumstances which sparked the revolution and united the US.

The way he very broadly sums it up was the South didn't have a reason to revolt until Lord Mansfield's ruling on slavery in the empire sparked fear and uncertainty of slavery's future in the South. That's what united the Northern and Southern states against the British. The book also goes on the explain the critical role slavery played in molding our constitution because it was the most contentious piece. It suggests that once the states reached a compromise on slavery, the rest of the pieces fell into place.

I think that's a better characterization than "The US united to commit genocide." My story at least tries to flesh out how the interests of real humans leads them to commit atrocities. Your obtuse characterization paints them as villains with the depth of a comic book character. You will never learn from history if you paint people like comic book characters, because they'll never resemble the complex real people you're trying to compare them to.

Interesting... If i am reading this right, to store 1TB there its costs EUR2.05 per month. uploading and downloading are "free" but only from the non vault. You upload and download from a tmp storage, which, after either 7 days or when you say, gets put into permanent storage. that move is what costs EUR0.01 per gig... hence, uploading 1TB will cost EUR10.24. uploads can use FTP, SFTP, Rsync or SCP and they also an API too... might try this out... handy for photo storage...

It might be quite difficult for you to run a clinical trial. There are likely more opportunities in the systems that surround clinical trials (patient education, patient/doctor communications, training).

If you don't have a background in biostatistics, start learning. Biostatistics is the interface between the FDA and the clinical trial team.

While the US is in fact known as the manufacturers of several delicious varieties of cookie, you might be surprised to learn that consumer packaged goods as a whole are not among the top 10 categories of goods exported from the US to the UK.

Certainly following all those videos is an inefficient way to learn. As smoyer said, it's more about the craft of coding, so maybe I made an apples/oranges comparison.

Does anyone know about the depth and structure of the code in "How to Make an RPG"? From the post, it looks like it is focusing specifically on gameplay issues. Handmade Hero is covering quite a range of topics from basic gamepad input and audio output (done early in the series) on up. It is structured so that it's relatively easy to port to non-Windows OS's, and I like the live-coding feature which really shortens the code-compile-test cycle.

I guess it would be nice to see the table of contents and maybe a sample chapter or excerpts.

That is a vastly oversimplified story. Germany actually did really good after WW1 until the Government escalated the inflation in a deliberate attempted to get a better deal. When they got that deal they again grew really well under the economic leadership of some smart economists.

Then the Great Depression hit and Germany, wanting to stay on gold, got hit really hard. By 1934-1935 they overcame the shock and Hitler earns the credit.

I don't know anything about this engine, but I've tinkered with stuff myself and gamepads, audio etc are all pretty easy to implement. Eg SDL2 has a very easy to use gamepad interface that's similar to XInput (pretends your gamepad is an Xbox controller). I've used SDL_mixer and FMOD in the past for audio and both are really really simple to get going.

My point is that, yes Love2D has been in development for longer and does likely have more capability, but that doesn't mean that this is lagging behind thaaaaat much, certainly not in the areas you mentioned. It might do, but not necessarily. Also, I assume this has more RPG-specific functionality baked in that you'd have to do by yourself in Love2D.

> The british economy will collapse completely

Unlikely. More likely is that they will remain in the European Economic Area ("the internal market"). This means keeping their trade relations the same as they are, including all the EU regulations, but without a way to influence how the regulations evolve. In return they will save some membership fees (a net amount of about 80 Euros per person per year, IIRC). It's what Norway has done for decades, and what Norway has decided to keep doing in two or three referendums. Seems to be working OK for them.

Of course this doesn't "fix" perceived problems with immigration, because the EEA includes the "four freedoms": free movements of goods, persons, services, and capital. But it seems that even a lot of Leave supporters find the single market more important than xenophobia.

Silly question: Historically, did anyone ever attempt to create the APL primitives as separate utilities? The crazy idea that keeps recurring in my mind is that one could have a UNIX userland made of APL primitives. k's mmap approach, avoiding I/O, is preferable. But even if one used a named pipe or UNIX socket to do IPC, perhaps it could still be fast enough to be useful or fun. Feel free to dismiss this idea, but please kindly explain why it would not work.

I'd add the Dockerfiles only allow extension by inheritance, leading to a lot of cases where people extend for construction.

Put another way: you can't safely compose Dockerfiles. If you want clean, narrow, special-purpose containers, you have two alternatives:

1. Build Dockerfiles for each use case precisely. This will lead to duplicated code and all the excitement thereof.

2. Build a giant shaky tower of Dockerfiles with FROMs, of which most are essentially 'abstract' Dockerfiles, not intended to be actually used. This will lead to documentation and all the excitement thereof.

Stackable filesystems are a triumph in some regards, but they create ugly backpressure on the design of libraries of Dockerfiles.

In this respect I see configuration management tools as vastly superior, as they generally have a concept of assembling goals and converging to them, rather than a concrete stacking logic.
Some concerns are more justified than others. Looking at Calais jungle, the concern about continued and increasing immigration to UK is fearful of issues that actually do exist.
