That isn't my issue. My issue is that which you may see in APL. Even if you got APL source code, you wouldn't necessarily be able to read it. FMJ source isn't textual. If you don't have the FMJ runtime on hand, no only can you not run the source, you cannot READ it, either.

And programming as a directed graph isn't a bad idea, but there must be a canonical, easily readable, textual format, that is the DEFAULT, regardless of how you manipulate it.
Among the reasons not to do Ycombinator would be a desire for a business that isn't built on the startup model, where "startup" is used in the specific sense it's used among Venture Capitalists and not the more generic sense of "new business".

Some people want a business that lets them focus performing the service rather than running the business, e.g. a consultancy, a workshop, etc. A chef might open a restaurant so that they can create a menu and stand in front of a stove and talk to diners enjoying the work of their hands. That's different from opening a restaurant in hopes of franchising it so as to become a restaurant industry executive.
I don't think that anyone argued TypeScript is 100% sound, nor is that a meaningful goal to hit. I find TS to be a solid language that gives me reasonable confidence in my code. (The tooling is also great!)

I recently took video of an elevator fire in North Dakota[1] and posted it on twitter. I was surprised by the number of messages I got asking if various news folks could use the video.

Given this experience, I'm really surprised that this isn't more a of a problem as media really seems to be going into the weeds to find video / pictures of things. I also thought Twitter had some kind of statement in their TOS about this. I wonder what the interaction between externally hosted things with their licenses versus Twitter's TOS.

My second marriage was ultimately dissolved due to my ex's inability to care for a cat. I very much considered it a test of how she would do with children, and as anyone who sets up a test knows, the other party will invariably fail.

Why just not replace cron with something a bit more flexible in terms of settings and config formats? Seriously, I guess time spent on making this website should be coparable with rewriting cron — it's not like cron is a complicated piece of software.

We decide what to do next based on demand, so having someone like you asking us for in-app billing would make it likely to happen sooner. Feel free to email us and tell us about your plans!

With that said, I would expect in-app billing to be at least 3-6 months out, possibly longer if we see more interest for other features first.

However, note that you don't necessarily need in-app billing to sell a Sandstorm app. You could always transact the sale yourself, and then ship an .spk file (Sandstorm package) to the user.

Anyway, please email me (kenton at sandstorm.io) if you'd like to discuss this!

One worthwhile thing that might come from a language like this being more lispy is that it should be fairly easy to just use textual s-expressions as the storage format. So you should be able to get things working in a way that makes the visual editor and any standard text editor equally viable as ways to edit the code.

I'd even argue that this is a prerequisite to making any visual language workable. No language that doesn't play nice with source control is going to get off the ground. If you also need to come up with a visual merge tool before anyone can use the language for anything complicated then you've got a minimum viable product that's infeasible.

One potential problem with this scheme that then pops to mind after that is the a version situation that led to VB.NET's failure. If you've got two visually different languages that are otherwise functionally equivalent (for the most part), what's the use of learning both? Probably most people will just settle on the one that you can't get by with not knowing - in this case, the textual format - and not bother with the one that's not strictly necessary to know.

From the ISC crontab(5) man page:

The CRON_TZ specifies the time zone specific for the cron table. User type into the chosen table times in the time of the specified time zone. The time into log is taken from local time zone, where is the daemon running.

I use this all the time to set job times relative to a specific timezone while the server time is in UTC. It is trivial and makes setting the times largely intuitive.
Do the 32kg include the inverter and reduction gear? I highly doubt they do. My guess is that with those included it weighs AT LEAST 100kg, probably closer to 200kg.
I can't find any details on what Siemens includes in their weight figure.
Even if all the numbers are comparable (I'm pretty sure they are not), the Siemens motor (apart from being flight rated) is able to continuously output 260kw, the Tesla motor isn't even close to that. I've personally tried it a few times on the Autobahn and the Tesla limits the output to about 100kw (displayed) after less than a minute of full throttle.

Programming by using a GUI to generate an XML file was a 1990s trend that still hasn't died. The thinking was "we need to make a visual programming tool for non-programmers," which is sort of condescending to begin with, and then the people who use it run into all these real problems that normal text-based programming languages have already solved (automated testing, version control with diffing, merging, etc.)
Greetings friends, I made this online MIDI player because most OSes no longer have MIDI players included. Now you can simply go to a web page, drop in some MIDI files, and play them back accurately.

I see headers like this in GMail:

which gives me two calculations to get to my own timezone, rather than just one.

The same offset is in headers from Facebook and Microsoft, though Oracle have UTC.

Spent the past 2.5 years building a decentralized cloud storage platform (Sia), it's still in the early days of usable, but maybe we can help somehow here?

Today, you need to save all of your metadata or you can't retrieve the files. But it's a lot easier to do a safe/broad backup of 10MB than XXXXGB.

At some point down the road, I think we can have it as simple as 'private key in, your data out' Ina decentralizated netowrk, as your key is used to contact a bunch of hosts in a 1-of-N failure mode (one honest host is all you need to get the right data) to fetch your metadata.

I'm not sure that it's survivor bias. Besides, ASCII's long survival is exactly what makes it so important. ASCII has endured for so long, and is embedded in so much software and even some hardware, that even if ASCII is abandoned for a better encoding, there WILL be legacy support for it. You can never be sure that a data format will endure, but ASCII is about as close to that certainty as you can get.
I read your article and replied to each major section. Nothing is "covered" as I've clearly stated the issues.

It seems like you fundamentally don't understand what a CDN is, how it works, how latency affects website performance, and have a strange idea of "mitigation" when in actuality most DDOS protection works exactly the same way.

Here's a test: show me exactly how using Fastly in front of my webapp is different than using CloudFlare?

The internet is already very centralized far beyond a single CDN company. All you need to do is look at the number of backbone providers and ISPs serving the vast majority of people in the world.

CloudFlare being a CDN has very little lock-in and is incredibly easy to move away from, so it speaks to how much value they deliver with their product that they have so many customers.
Also, all this talk about streaming being a new model is pretty silly. Rhapsody started its unlimited music streaming service in 2001. Apple started offering paid music downloads two years later. Streaming isn't something new that's going to revitalize or destroy the music industry, just an old well-devleoped model that has been growing as people got better mobile speeds.

What Apple needs music for is the branding. Apple attached itself to music because the industry had the mindshare of cool locked down for generations.

Sandstorm is exciting to me for personal reasons. Scalability is not an issue there, because all my apps already need to run on only one computer.

Yeah, Gladwell talks endlessly about this on basically every podcast that asks him on, and he tries very hard to clarify that his "10,000 rule" was illustrative, not to be taken literally, as in "9,999... 10,000! Okay I've mastered this!"
One worthwhile thing that might come from a language like this being more lispy is that it should be fairly easy to just use textual s-expressions as the storage format.

Most of these visual programming tools have long been using XML as a storage format, which is essentially equivalent to using S-expressions for it. You could edit the generated XML directly, but it's a horrible experience. It would make no difference to the end user, unless you generated S-expressions that were actual human-readable and editable Lisp code.

> If we can't even trust UID separation to work, then the project of secure computing is hopeless.

Not at all. We have better sandboxing mechanisms now.

> If we can't get it right after all this time, what hope can Sandstorm possibly have of getting a new system right?

UID separation has broken down because the attack surface has grown too large, encompassing:

* The entire ever-growing system call list.

* The huge /proc and /sys filesystems, which let you muck with all kinds of process and system state.

* Devices in /dev, many connected to low-quality device driver code.

* Every setuid-root binary installed on the system.

When the API gets that huge, avoiding bugs across the whole thing gets impossible.

Modern sandboxes work by massively reducing this surface. Sandstorm apps are restricted to a core set of common system calls, do not get /proc or /sys, only get a couple devices in /dev, and cannot use setuid-root binaries. In this situation, security is much easier.

Moreover, we use a capability-based security model to permit apps to talk to each other and the world, rather than an ACL-based one. This model makes it much easier to start from zero and grow, rather than starting from everything being accessible and then shrink.

> And it's really the only hope we have.

Luckily, it is not.
Ask HN: How should the CLI be designed today?
I've long thought that the command line is just a bit rubbish, even if it is powerful.

If you were redesigning it today (2016), how would you lay it out and what it do?

E.g. collapse output. Keep more metadata on history. Built in error hints (e.g. google the error, harvest possibilities).

How should the CLI work across microservices and cloud services?

What should the graphical design be?

This is deliberately open. Looking for pet hates and ideas.
This is not true, Gladwell readily admits that the literal value of 10,000 was not meant to be taken literally.
It reads like Javascript development is largely a process of cementing together small rocks; in contrast to development elsewhere, which is largely a process of mortaring together large bricks and/or building new framework.

At some point you reach a maximum load and the structure becomes too brittle; the materials and process chosen dictate what that maximum load is. Corollary, they dictate how difficult it is to quickly throw together a simple walk path.

The discrepancy I see (that Indian food is pricey in most of the places I've lived, while the original article has it near then bottom), or the discrepancy between Chinese and Indian? I can't tell if you're saying the cuisine having more vegetarian options is a reason for it to cost more, or the opposite.

Anyway, I'm vegetarian (vegan lately), so I'm always comparing vegetarian options across the board (and another reason I like Asian restaurants more than most other options; there's always more items on the menu that I'd eat). It seems like vegetarian options are usually cheaper than those containing meat, at Chinese restaurants. The same is not always true at a lot of other kinds of restaurant; for example, a burger place will usually charge more for a veggie burger, a pizza place will charge more for vegan cheese (if they even offer it), etc.

Xcode does work, mostly, as you'd expect, since it's backed by lldb. And it's certainly more like VS than command line lldb is! But still, the UX isn't quite there. I found it rather limiting and fiddly to use - you don't get good control over where the various windows go, and too many things are forced to share a window. You can only see one of such things at once, and have to do something to switch to the other.

This criticism applies to the UI overall, which puts things in inconvenient places (the tall, narrow find results/compile results panel was particularly ridiculous), and then won't even let you move them, but I found it especially tiresome when debugging. This is the last thing you want in a debugger UI in my view! I want to see as much stuff at once as possible, and I don't want to have to switch between tabs unless I deliberately set things up that way myself.

There's no separate registers window (it shares its window with the locals), there's only one watch window, and the disassembly window never seemed to work very well (when stepping, execution still proceeds on a line by line basis). I recall the disassembly window also sharing a window with the source window too. I think the memory view might do that too. All in all, most unsatisfactory.

Visual Studio does have some odd limitations and annoyances, but you can at least put the windows where you like.

It's unlikely to. Residents of a state where summer temperatures get well over 100° regularly don't want summer days to be even longer. The few attempts to do so (for no good reason) have always failed spectacularly, and most Arizona residents are very pleased with it the way it is.

Usually I agree with bashing Linux GUIs: indeed, all accessible GUI software is always written for OS/X somehow. But I don't know what is wrong with these file managers. I'm using Thunar, which is as simple as possible to do basic filesystem navigation, and ranger from console, when I do need something more like MC. Well, yeah, maybe it would be better to be able to use bash and stuff from graphic file manager, but otherwise I'm pretty OK with the setup. Anyway, I like it way better that anything I know on Windows/MacOS.

So today I disagree.

It's not totally finished yet, but parts of it are finished and will start being used by real apps in the next week or two.

The reason it has taken a while is not because it was hard, but rather because we've been repeatedly pulled away by other, more-pressing concerns, e.g. basic usability issues or features like the activity/notifications API (which turns out very important for people trying to do real work on Sandstorm).

The most in-depth documentation is the .capnp files in the source tree. We will be writing better documentation as the features stabilize (soon).
