Well, what other options did they have if they want Facebook to be used for collaborative projects with office applications? Libre Office has shown complete resistance to corporate control (remember Open Office and Oracle). Google's offerings are out because they're pretty much who Facebook is trying to compete with here. Apple's software only works on their OS. Every other paid office suite is merely trying to be an alternative to Microsoft's offering.

Because the cost of changing jobs once you have a family means anything less than 3 months is pretty unethical. Unless you tell them up front, but that's just probation, which means good luck hiring anyone.

Data confirm: What’s the language of development?
Hi HN,

This is Suyash, and this year I was lucky enough to be selected for the prestigious Google Summer of Code program with the Performance Co-Pilot organization (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#61781860941824...).

As part of my project, I have been building a go library that implements the instrumentation API for PCP and we just tagged the initial 1.0.0-alpha release for the project and would like some feedback for our work.

Some examples to demonstrate the features available in the initial release are in the examples subdirectory of the package at https://github.com/performancecopilot/speed/tree/master/exam....

Please note that I am a new gopher and may have missed out on some things, and any feedback related to the API design or the source code would be extremely helpful.
It's actually quite easy. Enable the completeness checker. It won't let you use head, because it's incomplete. In other words, it will say "stop using head".

What this entails practically is something like a) using safe head, which has type [a] -> Maybe a, or b) using the non-empty list type, or c) using streams, which don't have an empty constructor. There are lots of things you can do, but the general approach is "use pattern matching to cover all cases". The compiler can tell you if you've done this or not, and it you do your program will never crash.

>Another painful thing is the exception handling is also not as clean and clear as, say Java/Python exception handling, AFAIK.

Monadic exception handling is 100x easier than in Java or Python. Java copied Haskell/ML's use of Maybe/Optional for avoiding null pointers in Java 8, but they haven't yet figured out Haskell's use of Either and friends for exception handling.

Handling true exceptions in Haskell outside of IO code is worse than in Java, which is probably what you're thinking of, but most code bases completely avoid it. It's not hard at all. Handling true exceptions in IO is often nicer than Java, because Haskell has well-thought-out primitives like bracket.
There are a couple of big pieces of work here:

1) Making the "cargo vendor" story work better. rust-url has a bunch of dependencies, and you have to get them all in-tree.

2) More security review & planning. URL parsing is scary! And we'd want to ship & run it alongside the C++ one to check for places where rust-url is not fully web compatible, but there are major privacy issues in reporting back anything more than "1 failure," even for users who have explicitly opt'd in to reporting back data.

But the team is definitely working on both of these pieces and I'd hope to see it in the near future. No timeline / release number promises, though, right now :-)

The leave campaign made nothing clear and reneged immediately on the promises it had made. Half of them said we would remain in the single market and keep freedom of movement and others said we wouldn't have either. There were no consistent demands from leave. Even leave voters who were interviewed afterwards said they wanted to limit the movement of people from Syria and Afghanistan not the movement of people from Europe, showing not only did they not understand what they voted for their desired outcome was never possible anyway.

None of the leave campaign are in a position of power so what they wanted, whatever it was, is not an issue.

> Like when we were both consulting for Thinking Machines in Boston, I would always be jumping up and down about how if the management of the company didn’t do this or that, they would fail. He would just say, “Why don’t you let these people run their company; we can’t figure out this kind of stuff.” Sadly, the company did in the end fail. But that’s another story.

Thinking Machines failed, though it did turn into some other cool stuff, including a company called Ab Initio. Their data warehousing software formed the basis for my first job as a consultant out of college.

It also made me want to study machine learning. Little did I know the creators of Ab Initio had previously been part of a significant stab at AI via Thinking Machines Corporation.

If pretty much the same things can be achieved with all these languages, then the difference is not in the language itself but on other things like community, learning curve, availability and price of devs. With that in mind I would prefer Python or NodeJS.
> Take your iPhone out on a 20F day and see how long that 100% charge lasts! (Spoiler alert, likely a few minutes).

It's true that Lithium Ion batteries lose their charge in cold temperatures, but not that quickly. An iPhone in 20F will still hold charge for several hours. (And of course, under normal operating conditions the iPhone will be close to a warm human regardless of ambient temperature, so they rarely get that cold.)

I don't disagree with the finer points in your argument, and I'm a big advocate for paying for services directly as a personal choice. It's perhaps a semantic issue, but the invisible hand seems to be working as expected in this case. From the article:

> Consumers, today more than at any time in the past, are starting to question the value of content online and whether or not it’s worth the trade offs. In their eyes, it’s increasingly difficult to justify their interaction with ads.

In the last couple of years adblocking has gone from a fringe thing to do, to mainstream adoption [1]. This is absolutely the sort of consumer action that the 'invisible hand' serves as a metaphor for, and it is disciplining the market. Apple touting adblocking as a feature of iOS 9 is another example of market forces working to chasten advertisers and publishers for asking too much from consumers. So is AMP and Blendle, so is the rise of HBO, Hulu Plus and Netflix, so was the commercial skip button on TiVo. All of these have emerged because a sizable enough number of consumers demanded an alternative and the 'invisible hand' guided businesses to answer these demands.

The author is not capitulating for any reason other than that current adtech approaches on the web are losing their market viability, and the number of consumers that are reaching their limit is steadily increasing.

Artificial Intelligence Is Setting Up the Internet for a Huge Clash with Europe
A few months ago I attended the "Quantum Europe" conference in Amsterdam, where the new EU flagship project on quantum computing was kicked off and celebrated. With a total funding volume of 1 BN € this initiative is huge, and there are several British universities and research centers involved. Now with the BREXIT it's unclear whether they will be able to still participate in this project, which will start in 2018. And if they can't it will be at least doubtful if the UK government will allot them a similar amount of funding for quantum technologies...

I can only start to imagine how disappointed these researchers must be now, as winning the EU flagship was such a huge deal to everyone involved and took years of preparation from dozens of industry & research partners. It really is a shame.

It discusses this in the article. The challenge here is related to funding that is primary delivered by the EU structures. Now that the UK is leaving the EU, there is some concern that projects that contain UK representation, or are lead by UK researchers, will not be funded on time.

This is due to the confusion around what Brexit will mean, how long it will take, how far it will go and what agreements the EU and UK will sign.

"Itu Aba is not an island" was indeed a surprise, and I think it is a mistake. In particular, it was not part of the case.

Exactly. So play games that don't use these abusive tactics, instead of rewarding them...

I'm not going to tell you that you shouldn't use VB, but those reasons are BS.
This sounds more like political retaliatory BS than actual financial concerns. End the project when you lose funding, not in anticipation of losing funding at some point in the future.
Whenever I've looked half-seriously at any cloud offering, I've come to the conclusion that it's the data transfer/bandwidth that kills vis-a-vis dedicated services. If you don't need ~10TB/month, then sure - it doesn't really matter. If you do then you need to get a lot of reduced ops work for your effort.

I suppose that if while testing/starting out you use little bandwidth, and any additional bandwidth/users comes with income - it doesn't really matter that a chunk of that goes to AWS, and not to your business.

For those that actually do run non-trivial things on AWS (or other clouds) - do feel this is an accurate assessment? That bandwidth is still really expensive in the cloud?

Great Bookmarks July 2016
Well, prior to the establishment of the Kingdom of Ireland (which, for the gallery, was essentially an Anglo-Norman puppet state of the Kingdom of England and Wales), Ireland was essentially a independent state, except without any kind of strong central government (though there were repeated attempts to turn the largely ceremonial high-kingship into one), but held together by a shared culture and legal system: a nation, but not a state. I guess the closest modern example would be Somalia.
Did anyone doubt what experts said? I was under the impression that most voters knew about it and still wanted to go ahead with leaving the EU, because they felt their arguments weighted more heavily than economic concerns.

It's possible that both sides are correct.
I've never read this guy's writing before but in this article I think he is way over-intellectualizing things.

Meaning is whatever you want it to be. Some people find meaning in easing the suffering of others. Some people find meaning in raising children who will raise children, etc. even if in the fullness of time they will all cease to exist. Some people find meaning in really good sushi. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that. When I eat really good red snapper nigiri I experience pleasure. That is a real joy that meant something to me in the moment.

The big picture of the entirety of time and space means nothing because I don't live in that full reality. I live in a small pocket of time in a small pocket of space because I am a tiny being.
Someone needs to rewrite Rudin in this way.
Exactly, they warned that the EU would be as punitive as possible. Their reaction to Brexit it shows that was necessary.
Right, but while there is confusion and lack of clarity, it's not clear that immediately removing UK investigators is appropriate. Some amount of this is just petulance or telegraphing unhappiness, rather than rational decision making.
That doesn't make sense. It is a statically compiled systems-oriented language, not a web-oriented language.

> Such a rate of childhood death would be high even for sibling parents.

Really? In the mid-19th century?

https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality/ says "in 18th century Sweden every third child died, and in 19th century Germany every second child died" (that's before the age of 5; the usual definition of child mortality). The "England and Wales" chart on that site shows that in the mid-1800s child mortality was about 250-300 per 1000.

So out of 10 children you would expect 2-3 to die before reaching age 5 at the time.

If you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin#Children there were 10 children. Their ages at death are:

74, 10, 1 month, 84, 67, 78, 77, 93, 77, 18 months.

So two deaths before age 5, one death at 10, the rest living to perfectly reasonable ages. Doesn't seem at all unreasonable for the time period.

Useful, and gets under the surface of 'chatter' to some of the guiding principles that are less than obvious (perhaps) to those interested. I say this having started in QBASIC and getting to C++ before losing my chops, and thinking of getting back into it, but not into any rah-rah fantasy about how learning to write modern code is a ticket to fortune. It's access to different tool sets, in my view, which is interesting because tools don't make the product, the person using them does.
> So: meaning isn't a substance, but rather a feeling. In this way, it's a lot like beauty.

If I understand correctly, author is saying, that you can't measure nor exactly define meaning, and then building follow up logical chain based on that axiom.

If so, then it's just wrong, because all human feelings are results of biochemical processes inside a brain. They arise in exact situations and they are predictable as patterns. So, we can define feelings and analyze them to the point where we can see how they are building and what is causing one or another.
