Look at the other way around. It's possible to find good food if you know good food and keep looking. That is a problem when people grow up with that, they rarely know good food, thus they cannot find it.

I can guarantee you, take an average family in the US, make proper food for them for 6 months, and then server a meal that they used to eat. They will find it bland, too salty, and too sweet.
I find it crazy that you have the funds and those kinda revenues but can't find the talent. Don't take this wrong but could be people don't want to work with you. I don't know you but there's definitely something not right. It also could just be that most of the "WOW" Developers work on their own projects by themselves. If they really like you, your idea/concepts and you have the funds to support it, you shouldn't have a problem.

Not saying it's not a fad, but isn't it different in quite a number of ways? The Pokemon brand and geo coordinate aspects had all my friends ("core gamers", if you will, who would probably not have dreamed of playing flappy birds for fun) playing it all weekend.
Are you claiming that it's impossible to write secure PHP code?
It just feels like such an enormous misstep to me, I can't even fathom it.

Why not wait until the game was much more polished and had many more traditional Pokemon features before release?

Nobody will be playing this in a month unless Niantic are really really fast with the content updates. Like, one per week fast, until it's much more deep than it currently is.
Free and Open Source Security Audit: Now we need feedback by the real experts
I really don't think this is an important topic and the article is of little substance with a fairly clickbaity image to top it all off. However, I do agree that the comment styles mentioned in the article that Torvalds supposedly dislikes are ugly. Code should look appealing when possible for sure, no reason to use those unbalanced comment styles.

While not released yet I'm thinking WebAssembly and browser APIs should eventually cover this use case - I expect browsers to expose more sandboxed versions of native APIs and the browser will become the new OS for desktop OS.

People will probably start experimenting and packaging their own browser builds with extra APIs that don't get released in to web browsers right away - like Electron - instead of running node it would just expose more stuff to the browser JS/WASM.

I believe the app is a collaboration between Niantic and TPC, rather then just a straight licensing. Niantic has the AR-game expertise and has very clearly learned a lot of good lessons from running Ingress for three (4?) years now, while the Pokemon Company obviously knows a lot about making a good Pokemon game and probably had a lot of creative input.

The problem with some of these conditions unfortunately is that it is only possible to speculate based on behavioral reports, because the term simply didn't exist back then (or if it did, it existed in widely varying terms describing some sort of "insanity" or "neurosis"). So unfortunately I don't think there is an answer to this question.

In reading up on the histories of various classical composers, for instance, several of them appear to have suffered regularly from depressive orders (a very definitive example is Sergei Rachmaninoff). A few of them such as Erik Satie and Anton Bruckner appear to be afflicted with what we now know as OCD. Can we definitively diagnose, though? No, we only have reports to go off of.

Heck, we're still pretty fuzzy with the diagnosis and root cause of some of these mental conditions now. (See: the definition of Aspergers)
Cats do need to eat grass. If they didn't have access to grass, they eat any other plant they can find, including flowers. They do that to clean their digestion system from inedible parts(1), as for a home cat, that's mostly their own furballs.

"Cats regurgitate when they eat grass because they lack the necessary enzymes to break down vegetable matter. Does this mean your cat likes to throw up? Well, while it's doubtful that kitty enjoys the act, this up-chucking sensation may eliminate all indigestible matter from the cat's digestive tract, making it feel a whole lot better. This is important because cats eat their prey as is, including both the edible and inedible parts (fur, bones, feathers, etc.)"

I can explain what the service does: basically you submit a URL which returns any kind of data. Then you set up a schedule for a worker to go to that URL and to load a data on a scheduled basis. Every time a data is loaded it is send to you via email.

So it's sort of alerting / scheduling mechanism.
Also - which of these service are strong in the fraud prevention area ?! Or integration with third party services for fraud prevention.
That is a near perfect description of a feeling I feel a lot when debugging without a clear path.

So, I know that Elixir is powerful and good at functional programming. The one thing I can't quite understand is why we would want to program everything as a composition of individual programs and applications, with supervisors and application trees and message passing and the like. It seems like a lot of overhead to accomplish something. Making everything asynchronous and detached makes things more complicated, not less.

I hear a lot about OTP and the "let it crash" mantra, but I just don't quite understand what's so great about it. Maybe it's just due to my problem domain (web development), but it doesn't seem like as big a draw to Elixir and Erlang as pattern matching and FP are.

Ah, thanks for the feedback! I'd written that article before Mu got function headers, and never gone back to re-read it.

a) next-ingredient is still around, and I still teach it first before graduating students to headers.

b) Headers get translated to next-ingredient calls behind the scenes, but without the need to type-check ingredients at runtime.

c) You might still choose to use next-ingredient if you want to implement optional arguments, or variadic functions. A weird one is interpolate (in http://akkartik.github.io/mu/html/061text.mu.html), which scans through its arguments twice, first to compute the size of the array to allocate to hold them, and then a second time to copy them over. Since calls to next-ingredient can get arbitrarily complex, Mu doesn't bother type-checking them. It just moves the type-checking for explicit calls to next-ingredient to run-time.

I'll update that post. Thanks again.
Tinfoil much? When was the last time someone avoided an indictment where there was overwhelming evidence, simply because they knew the right people?
Interesting project. I like the idea of instant organization-specific message boards and the heuristic you chose for creating them. I do, however, suspect that choosing the optimum way to handle subdomains will prove tricky. (Should cs.example.edu be considered the same as psy.example.edu or alumni.example.edu? If not, would it make sense to have a parent example.edu board that is shared between all of them them? The same goes for company departments with subdomains.)

Two suggestions on user onboarding: 1) put a log in and a registration link in the hamburger menu; 2) consider clarifying what "email-based" means when you use that term, i.e., point out that you do not actually send your comments via email.
is there a native android/ios client for this that supports push notifications?
What stands out to me is that the author has correctly identified a problem, but provides an unsupported solution that has failed for a lot of people.

I'm going to push Duhigg's Power of Habit here as a somewhat more rigorous treatment of these ideas. Duhigg, I think, would agree that "write every day" is an awful plan. His solution, though, would not be "write when you feel like it". Rather, it would be to establish a clear, reliable trigger for when to sit down and write.

"Every day" is the sort of standard that leaves you staring at a blank page at midnight, debating whether to just go to bed. "In the quiet stretch after dinner and dishes", by contrast, gives you a clear cue to do your task. It also averts the problem of falling of the bandwagon - if you go out to dinner, or work late and skip the meal, you never got your cue and don't have to record a 'failure' of your system.

It's certainly the case that never-fail systems are fragile and unproductive; until the habit is ingrained they tend to collapse altogether at the first interruption. But the solution isn't to abandon scheduling, it's to learn what good, proactive scheduling looks like.
Or if you like pipelines as much as I do, you can write it as:

[:a, :b, :c]

|> Enum.each(fn({item, counter}) -> IO.puts("#{counter} -> #{item}") end)
gentle plug - spreedly is a service that handles this for you. one of the guys in our coworking space uses this for his service, and it allows his customers to be able to swap processors relatively easily, as spreedly acts as a middle-man secure vault to hold that info away from any one particular service.

there may be other services that do something similar, but if you're concerned about switching services, and don't want to have all your customers reinput billing info, spreedly (or similar) would probably be worth investigating.

No, businessmen realized it's more profitable to process the olives and sell the oil than just selling the olives.
You are very welcome. ^_^

Let me just point out that what I commented is a generalization and simply an excerpt of all the good practices I found during my [almost] 15 years of commercial experience.

Understanding your place in the world (namely what business value does your code bring) and worshipping communication -- even between your current self and your future self -- are what I found to be the gods I worship during my work, and it made me much more productive and valuable for my customers/employers.
That's a very interesting point. I had never thought that conscious effort would be proportional to energy use, as if some tiny gas tank in the brain would run low.

I can happily move from one high-focus thing (e.g., coding) to a different one (e..g, complex game) without problem. And as long as a problem keeps being interesting (that is, providing novelty or progress) I can focus for very long periods. That made me think that my experience of mental tiring was more a way to prevent lock-in and to keep me away from situations of diminishing returns. In our natural environment, I'd expect the cost/benefit curve for pure abstract focus to drop sharply, so it wouldn't surprise me for there to be a special mechanism to get us out of our heads and back into dealing with our environment and bodily needs.
My pet peeve: When there is a link that I need to click on the footer of a page that has infinite scroll. If you use this - please don't put a footer on your page. It will just run away from your users.
Yes, but the EU numbers use similar data as the US, and while average is 9% unemployment, some countries are in the 20% range. And this is with a lot of 0-hour contracts or in 'courses' (doesn't count as unemployed).
Erol Morris is quite brilliant in shaping the narrative of each documentary. I think he has a message to sell and he's found way to make that message come across in a very sterile, non-forced way.

Pokemon Go is a huge security risk
A common speculation, but I can't fathom how much value this adds to Google Maps, if any, what with street view and other 360 degree content they have at their disposal. I suppose that the crowd-sourcing aspect of it could serve to identify small sites of interest off the beaten path? Again though, what possible value does this provide to Google maps? Plus, a lot of the sites are already well known locations (churches) or are bunk (the "big red ball" out front of a local target)

We are talking very long term effects here, so it is nearly impossible to know in detail how a chaotic system like Earth will evolve.

He is offering a very specific prediction, although extremely difficult to verify:

1) that without human intervention long-term CO2 levels tend to zero

2) that current increases in temperature do not follow increases in CO2, rather the opposite

3) that increases in temperature (and CO2) do not mean mass extinctions, rather the opposite.

What is the standard counter-argument to these points? Are all false?

I feel it's a good development that we no longer hear about Linus so much--unlike in the 90s, when it seemed he was taken excessively seriously.
To add to that the author really seems to have an axe to grind with Linus. The suggested read on "More from The Register" links, all accompanied by the same "Linux middle finger" or "Linux Nuttella" images:

> Linus Torvalds in sweary rant about punctuation in kernel comments: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/07/11/linus_torvalds_in_sw...

An excerpt:

> Torvalds says "I'll start doing merge window pull requests for 4.7 starting tomorrow." Expect that release about two months from now, unless Linus takes a summer break or things go awry in some unpredicable fashion.*

> Linus Torvalds wavers, pauses - then gives the world Linux 4.5: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/15/linux_4_5_released/*

An excerpt:

> Linux often caters to esoteric tastes, which is why this time around Torvalds has seen fit to include code that does a better job handling PS/2 mice. For both of you still using those. *

> Latin-quoting Linus Torvalds plays God by not abusing mortals: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/06/latinquoting_linus_t...

> Linux infosec outfit does a Torvalds, rageblocks innocent vuln spotter: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/27/linux_security_bug_r...

This one is not really about Linus. It sports the same "Linus making the middle finger" image anyway.

I'm not commenting on the content or the substance of the linked article, just pointing out an interesting pattern displayed by the author.

"Think about it: How does Morris get such penetrating interviews if the interviewee is just looking at a camera? If they're looking into the lens and not at Morris, it would be hard for Morris to get anything like the unsettling, revealing, startlingly personal interviews that are Morris's bread and butter. Would you tell a flat piece of glass about the biggest mistake you ever made in your life?"

This is formulated to sound as convincing as possible without any evidence, but I don't buy it at all. The recent documentary "Human" is full of heart-rending interviews of people having emotional breakdowns and looking straight at the camera. I'm quite sure they did not use any such mirror system. You can occasionally see the interviewee glancing sideways at the interviewer, but if anything, it seems that talking to a camera gives them the strength to talk about personal things in an unusually powerful way. (Disclosure: I know some people on the production team and have done a bit of work on their website)

The main argument why seems to be for reliability so it can run for months without going down.
I think the layman that is just jumping on the fad wagon will get bored of Pokemon Go within a month or two. The diehard Pokemon fans will continue playing, but I don't see how they can keep the hook in for long.

It's like Pokemon Cards - they went from cards to practically currency back to cards within 6 months.

> Why not wait until the game was much more polished and had many more traditional Pokemon features before release?

The game has all the G1 pokemon. I've had friends ask if it had "that modern garbage" before considering installing it, so having just G1 sounds like an excellent pick, it doesn't hinder younger people and recaptures the RGBY generation which didn't keep up with the series.

There's plenty of things to add and improve (including but not limited to the servers) and the rest of the international rollout to complete before there's any reason to expand to Gold and Silver.
You might be right; I may have misinterpreted. He might be saying, "The notion of email client itself is gone from Nano at this point, everything changed about Nano".
"When people say "Austin" and "cheap housing" they mean Round Rock, Pflugerville, San Marcos, etc. Many of those places are now an hour or more commute to downtown Austin in horrific traffic that now rivals Los Angeles. "

This is the reason I didn't move there a few years ago. I flew in for the interview, and was stuck in various traffic jams the entire 2 days I was there. The economy there is booming, so it's not like the traffic is coming from a bad place, but I'm not keen on hour-plus commutes.
>So is everything good enough now? Should we never innovate again, because "look how bad people had it in the past"?

I don't think the guy you're responding to said we should never innovate again, just that the level headed response to today's food situation in the United States is not to declare there is an apocalypse, which is what the article is doing.
