Straw man - no one is saying we won't survive but you would have to be monumentally dim to not perceive that what has just happened, and what will continue to happen in Britain as a result of this decision will be orders of magnitude worse than the alternative - at least in the short to medium term. I can't predict the long term future and it may well be that the UK somehow manages to come out of this with more than the south west still part of it but the path there will involve a lot of suffering.
One of the nice things about the Clojure standard library is that most everyday functions actually do fit the first/last category (by design). Functions operating on sequences (map, filter, reduce, etc) take the sequence as the last argument and are suited for use with the ->> macro, while functions operating on data structures in a non-sequence context typically take the data structure first (assoc, conj, update) and are good for ->. So you get either:

(->> (range 10)
(map inc)
(filter even?)
(take 2)) ;=> '(2 4)

or

(-> {:body {:some {:json :data}}}
(assoc-in [:body :some :more-json] :more-data)
(assoc :status 200)
(update :body json/generate-string))
;;=> {:body "{\"some\":{\"json\":\"data\",\"more-json\":\"more-data\"}}", :status 200}

It doesn't work all the time, obviously, and it can be easy to get carried away with 15 threaded map/filter/reduce calls that should be factored into separate functions, but most of the time I find it to be a nice idiom that substantially improves readability.

> The UK needs the EU more than the EU needs the UK.

I beg to differ.

The Eurocrats in Brussels who are unelected. Wanted Britian out immediately after the result.

Merkel, on the other hand. Had the Car manufacturers on the phone screaming at her about the result. For them, the UK is 25% of their export market. I am sure other German manufacturers are not too happy with the result either.

The UK is simply in a better position than the EU. Now more than ever.

Think about all those directives the EU placed on the UK. Now they can be all changed.

Think about agriculture, fishing, energy, etc. Everything that HAD to be negotiated as an EU entity. That only things could have been pushed through the EU parliment is if all EU states agreed. That no other country had been penalised!

Now, British interests come first. If the UK wants to do something and France or another country doesn't like it. Now it's tough luck.

Now many times has France Veto'd something that Britian wanted before, because her interests were marginalised or a sector under threat?

This is what people simply just don't understand.

Once all the smoke clears. Britian has a real chance to be more competitive than France or Germany and that scares the hell out of them!

BASH3 Boilerplate – Template for writing better Bash scripts
I read your article and found it quite interesting. However, all the points you raised would have been more interesting if you'd have gone deeper into them. Like raising tech wages. Now, that might attract talent but wouldn't that also raise the bar for starting up? One of the problems with SF startups at the moment is that it's impossible to start anything without tons of funding (see recent Sergey Brin article).

Taxes are another very complex issue.

In general though we could go circles around each point and never end up with much of a conclusion. I do agree that capital is very hard to acquire outside of Silicon Valley and the anti-startup culture is strong.

But I don't think Berlin is a bad place to be in. In fact, at the moment I think Berlin is one of the best places to hack something together because there is tons of talent around and they would not need to be compensated much (low cost of living). You could do the same under a Delaware corp hiring people in Berlin as freelancers and you'd still be able to get US VC investment if you're solving a problem in the states and have customers there.
Even with the Apple pencil, the pairing reliability is not great. Every time I disable Bluetooth on my iPad, I have to re-pair.

I'm surprised they didn't use some custom protocol, especially given how bad Bluetooth is, and they control the entire software and hardware stack.
If you are from Eastern Europe, you probably understand better than most Europeans how harmful it is to be integrated into a bloc and controlled by a powerful undemocratic outside force.

I heard this frequently, but it is never specified _what_ exactly should be reformed.
Also I think that most people really overestimate the EU budget: It's about 1/10th of Germany's/France's or 6 times of Luxemburg's.
Although I voted remain, I almost voted leave. There are good, very good reasons to leave. There are very very good reasons to remain and 'fix' from the inside.

However a friend on FB unfriended me after he declared all leavers were racist idiots. I suggested we need to understand why people voted leave. I tried to point out that the rise of the far right within Europe might be down to EU policies.

I think there are some big issues within Europe as described by Tony Benn https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=f0wFii8klNg

Of interest there are rumours that the EU is to announce a superstate http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/683739/EU-referendum-...

So maybe, just maybe, the leavers have it right. Do we want to be living in the Unites States of EU or do we want countries that identify as European and trade and travel equally between them all?

We live within a democracy and the public have spoken. Our politicians should execute the will of the people.
If the choice really is arbitrary then yes. If there was a compelling argument to driving one side or the other then it would cease to be a good answer IMHO.

Except... that pairing in Bluetooth 4.2 is still broken. And they apparently even used an algorithm from Bluetooth 2 that was known to be broken.

https://pomcor.com/2015/06/03/has-bluetooth-become-secure/

Basically Passkey Entry is broken so eavesdroppers can trivially learn the PIN. You must use a dynamic PIN (not always possible).

Oh and if you're thinking you can implement your own pairing method that is actually secure, via the Out-of-Band method, think again! Neither Android nor iOS support it.
Oh boy, here we go...
We're incredibly excited to launch our cloud storage offering out of beta. It's been 9 years since we started Backblaze, 7 since we open sourced our Storage Pod design, 2 since we started working to open the API, 8 months since we announced the beta, and 30 minutes since we declared the beta done ;-)

However, don't be misled...this is the beginning, not the end. So please give us feedback on our APIs, what features/functionality you need, what other products you want to integrate B2, what information do you want to know, and basically how else we can help!

And thank you for all the support over the years,

I'm no expert but I would say that wheels are closer to a ring. You're underestimating the moment of inertia of the wheels by a factor of about 2 by doing this. Might be well enough to throw off your conclusions. In fact if I read your spreadsheet correctly this would bring the rotational energy to about the same as the translation kinetic energy.

FTA, "...Over the years, as the investment required to continue scaling the centralized repository grew, Google leadership occasionally considered whether it would make sense to move from the monolithic model.

The manyrepo approach also has advantages.

In a static type system, all of the expressions and expression-like constructs of your language may have a constraint attached to them, which guarantees that a value this expression yields have certain properties; In a static type system there is a well defined set of rules, describing how such constraints are transformed when expressions are combined in a certain way.

In a dynamic type system, no such constraints exist (besides for the constant literals, of course) and there are no rules for combining the constraints.

These definitions should cover all the spectrum.

Straw man - no one is saying we won't survive

He said jumping off the cliff. That is literally just saying the Brits won't survive. Besides, England will be able to make a trade deal with China (something the EU doesn't manage to do). Medium- to longterm, the benefits for the British people will be vast - and I'm not even starting to argue about political independence.
Why is giving up all your other interests aside from your work a prerequisite for a "remotely interesting tech scene"? Surely you too see why people whould find that a slightly strange mentality?

I see why the two or three people CEO'ing a startup invest their free time, but it feels like you're advocating a culture where they can force that way of life onto all of their employees and calling it "good for startups". Well, it is, but so is slavery ;)
Tab (YC W15) is hiring a backpacking backender in London
Tab is a young startup that mixes travel & fintech, backed by Y Combinator.

Tab powers bookings and payments for tourist businesses (like hostels, dive schools and surf lodges) in emerging countries. We like doing the hard stuff – that’s why we’re already working with 60+ currencies, across countries like Guatemala, Argentina and Peru. Our goal is to boost local tourism, while helping backpackers and independent travellers make the most of their precious time abroad.

We're looking for a backend or full-stack developer to work across our entire platform, from public-facing web apps, to internal tools, APIs, third-party systems & services, and, if it floats your boat, our mobile apps.

We mostly write Python but also do Java, Swift and JavaScript with React & React Native, on mobile and on the web.

Tab is based in London, and you'll have the opportunity to travel to exciting places to experience the product and meet users.

I really like to live in that fantasy world
That's another thing that I forgot to mention. Germans do not speak English. Or at least, they choose not to due to national pride. The place really felt unwelcoming. It is god damn impossible to find a banker that speaks English... I had to book an appointment for a translator while opening a bank account because their regular staff could not answer the most basic questions in English. That is insane!
I agree that not listing every oil spill isn't required to make a view American centric. That's not the issue though, it's a straw man. What's American centric is to focus on America even when similar things exist elsewhere.

> With static typing you can do everything that is possible with a dynamic typing, at no additional cost [...]

This is not necessarily true: Static typing quite often requires you to satisfy the type system and quite often is an exercise in what essentially amounts to paperwork. There is a cost.

> 2) Static typing is far more than a mere "validity checking", as you apparently seem to believe. These advanced semantic properties cannot be added on top of a dynamic type system, so, even suggesting that a dynamic type system may be somehow superior is automatically declaring that under no circumstances you will ever need any of these properties.

I haven't stated that dynamic typing is better, but I have stated that people claiming one or the other need to have proof. Dynamic typing is very rarely stated as better, whereas static typing is quite often cited as better subjectively, even if it's only opinion.

If your programs are as airtight as the "proof" you've given here, I'm not sure I ever want to use them.

Have your opinion and know that I share it (mostly), but also know that it's an opinion and that you'd do well in not confusing it with fact. Strong, static type systems are nice, but to say they're superior to dynamic type systems is an opinion and to present it as anything else is a lie.

Anyone have a cache?

Without reading it, I've used monorepos and multiple repos, and far prefer the former. What people don't get is that any system consisting of software in multiple repos is really a monorepo with a really poor unit & integration test story. The overhead of managing changes to inter-repo dependencies within the same system is utterly insane — I'd say that it's somewhere between 2^ n & n^2, where n is the number of repositories (the exact number depends on the actual number of dependency relationships between repos).

In fact, after these several years, I'm beginning to think that 'prefer' is not the word: monorepos appear, more and more, to be Correct.
no one is terrorising anyone.

Apart from the campaigners on each side of the referendum.

Basically the whole thing descended into "FUCKING IMMIGRANTS TAKING YOUR JOBS, THATS WHY YOU DON'T HAVE PUBLIC SERVICES"

and on the other "YOU WON'T HAVE A JOB IF WE LOOSE THE EU. YOU WILL DIE OF AIDS"

Sadly people have been conditioned by various parts of the media to just see immigration as the reason for public service cuts. Not stopping to ask them selves, who makes the decision to cut the funding...

And this is entirely the fault of the political class, who wanted to mask cutting public services to pay for tax cuts for the middle class.

And now we have this right fucking mess, which will take many years to un pick, and I suspect will lead back exactly where we were before, just paying more, and having less influence.

I'm hesitant to consider the next presidential election's results as a harbinger of the state of politics during the 2020 or 2024 races.

The Baby Boomer generation's influence is waning and I'm optimistic that the next generations who did not grow up in a period of extreme mutual distrust like we saw post-WW2 and during the Cold War will be better suited to lead.

It's going to take us, as a global group of people on the planet, a long time to unwind a lot of the hawkish and nationalist policies that have evolved over the past 150 years. Certainly there will be periods where charismatic leaders with latent agendas drag us backwards and temper the progress, but ultimately if each successive generation is even just a bit more inclusive and globally considerate than the last, we'll find a way to make this work.

I'm not too impressed by the logic of the first part about immigration.

>During the campaign, some Leave campaigners sent a clear message that the referendum was about controlling immigration. Some are now being more nuanced, saying the UK's decision to leave the EU would not guarantee a significant decrease in immigration levels.

Hm. So is it the same people and comparable claims? Let's see ...

>Nigel Farage said: "Mass immigration is still hopelessly out of control and set to get worse if we remain inside the EU."

>Similarly, leading pro-Leave campaigner and Tory leader front runner Boris Johnson said that the only solution to the scale of immigration which the UK was facing, was to leave the EU.

>But in an article published in the Daily Telegraph on Monday, Mr Johnson denied a victory for leaving the EU could be linked to immigration.

Um what? This is not at all inconsistent with the above statement. You can think that X is a good reason to leave the EU without thinking that most people who voted to leave did so because of X.

>He wrote: "It is said that those who voted Leave were mainly driven by anxieties about immigration. I do not believe that is so."

This is completely consistent with the previous statement.

They don't have any quote from Farage in that section, only from "MEP Daniel Hannan" who wasn't mentioned previously.

This reads as intentional misleading on the part of the BBC.

The rest of the article isn't much better. The bar for demonstrating hypocrisy or retraction at least requires the same people to make the claims and that the two claims aren't consistent. The BBC has not met it.
Well, it does track, but it doesn't necessarily collect the data and use it to profiling users. I just don't like to be experimented like a little white mouse in a mouse lab, regardless of whether it's for good or bad.

This mechanism has a tremendously better track record than the other ones proposed in this thread. No mechanism are perfect, but we should try to improve the working mechanism rather than use the broken one. And there don't seem to be any fundamental barriers in the way.

For the same reason we should accept other Pareto improvements: if you're doing otherwise, you're letting value go to waste.

For the most part, I agree with this. The biggest problems I've had at work have been due to constructs that were a neat idea but just add to the complexity of figuring out the application. Throw in a bunch of business-specific engineering terminology that is not defined anywhere for the development team, and it becomes a wicked PITA to learn.

However, the one-liner example and the chained English-sounding methods, I think might be taken the wrong way. Both can be done well.
