> We can debate whether they're good things or not, but they clearly confound comparisons with non-charter schools

I don't understand your comment at all, but I am very curious to know what you actually mean. Can you please clarify and expand? To begin, what do you mean by "they" when you say we can debate whether they're good things or not?
But this list deals with mostly obvious things about how your startup may generate wealth. It has nothing to do with the people involved. Otherwise, the list in this guy's redundant writing style might be

1. Don't die.
Many people fail to achieve their dreams because they die too early. Try not to die as it is hard to keep on living in that case.

2. Be happy.
One of the most often stated reasons for being unhappy is sadness. Try to be happy and you will achieve happiness with ease.

You Could Have Invented Container Runtimes
I used a top-end Surface Pro as a dev machine for 6 months running Ubuntu, and it was great. Three screens, fast, powerful, portable, plus multiple vms. Only really hit the limits when compiling big c libraries or using the Android toolchain. If I couldn't use my current MBPr, I would happily use another.
I find the computer case, and tower placement as well as room acoustics can influence this greatly.
GitHub – Tc39/proposals: Tracking ECMAScript Proposals
Many compilers are released under the GPL license. Generally speaking[1], the output of the compiler is not subject to the license terms of the GPL, just as a document created by a GPL'ed word processor need not be licensed under the GPL.

[1]: There could conceivably be GPL code linked with your code in the final output, but I don't think people would release a compiler like that without big notices unless they're specifically trying to trick people into having to buy commercial licenses or something like that.

The Leak Prosecution That Lost the Space Race
Keybase would prefer to handle your private key too. You can work with your key offline too, but you have to be aware that this is what you want when setting up- and it's very much not the happy path, so the site will not fully work as you might expect.

Not faulting them, they provide the steps needed, but it might be annoying enough for some people to start uploading private keys.
I'll take a guess that you believe real name, home address, and phone number are way up there on the "extremely sensitive" side.

Most of the American public remembers phone books. I don't think they're going to vote to make publishing the White Pages punishable by serious jail time.
SXSW Panel Proposal: Tech's K-12 CS Push Is About Creating Tech-Fluent Customers
Well they just glossed over the asynchronous processes that had to be kicked off, the analytics that had to be recorded, the instrumentation that was plumbed in, the validity and safety of the request prior to doing anything, the caching layers that need updating, the websocket client updates, and the design of the object model in the first place.

But we knew that's what the author meant. /s
It'd be a deal breaker to me. It's one thing to have it on a desktop machine that sits under your desk and probably has a fan going at all times. Very different to have it in a laptop that you're using a few feet from your head and where the fan doesn't run unless under load. I had a Dell with coil whine, and if I was using it in the library or at home that was all I could hear.
I have a good number of invites as well. You can email me at [keybase_username] at protonmail.com if you'd like one.
Sense HAT Emulator
This is one of the most insightful articles of the last 50 years of physics, and written in a way that nearly anyone with some scientific training can understand.

Aside: Not quite sure why the random ohio state pdf got the link... then went to the original and realized it's _still_ behind a paywall at Science. There is NO good reason to keep it locked up.
Not an analog photo, no. However, an airtight digital implementation would absolutely do stop anyone from recording anything they're not allowed to record -- and it wouldn't be really airtight if ownership of non-aligned equipment was tolerated :P

> It's almost as if programs are useless if they don't perform some IO

You seem to have missed the point. At the moment, a CLI calculator has type "IO ()", a filesystem scanner has type "IO ()", an FTP library has type "IO ()", a random password generator has type "IO ()", etc.

It's very convenient that GHC points out when I try to, for example, perform arithmetic on lists, or insert unsanitised strings into templates. It would also be convenient if it points out when my CLI calculator is trying to perform network requests, when my filesystem scanner is trying to generate random numbers, when my random password generator is scanning the filesystem, etc.
You were probably sitting on gold and your bad attitude killed the business. They were too lazy? Should have figured out what was causing them to not want to put in the effort and then added a feature to your project that eased that pain point of theirs, either through automation or some other solution..

Haskell terminology is based on the mathematical underpinnings of its type system. It's due to this that those unfamiliar with the maths often have trouble at first grokking the terminology. It's not that Haskell shut itself off, it just draws it's vocabulary from a different source than the other languages.
When does keybase plan to do nightly keydumps like SKS offers?
First of all, timing by injection is still simpler than timing by spark: in gasoline engines, the computer must time both the injection and the ignition.

Second, timing by spark means that spark plugs are necessary, so that is more parts, and more parts means higher probability of failure.

Third, spark plugs are needed to start a chain reaction of igniting fuel, because gasoline fuel is volatile enough as not to be combustible. Gasoline fuel is not flammable, but the vapor is, did you know that? That's what makes it volatile as far as combustibility, otherwise we would have self igniting gasoline engines by now.
I had many mechanical keyboards. Blue, brown and red cherry switches, topre, you name it. I got rid of most of them and I regret having spent the dollar on such a meme piece of equipment.

Elitism and fetichism aside, the sound and key travel is just a matter of preference and at the end of the day they won't make you type faster or help with RSI (the ones with high required actuation force can actually worsen it).

I wouldn't trade my current Microsoft Sculpt for any of my previous keyboards. Both my colleagues and my wrists are glad I switched.

My recommendation is that if you are going to pay a premium for a keyboard, at least focus on ergonomic features rather than gimmicks.
Yes, my mistake. Kronecker is used often in quantum mechanics, but when working in Hilbert space rather than real space.
Personally I don't think it's a limitation of the language so much as it is an artifact of Haskell's relative uniqueness. Most programmers have never encountered a type system stronger than that of, say, Java, so they have little to no precedent for this sort of language. Consequently, the very idea of a generic fmap (i.e., <$>) is foreign and new.

Tiny Satellites: The Latest Innovation Hedge Funds Are Using to Get a Leg Up
I've signed up a long time ago (yay early adopters I guess), so I can't comment on the sign up process or setup with your own GPG key nowdays.

But their website works 100% and provides all the functionality if you don't let them host the private key (they give you an easy-to-inspect snippet to paste into your terminal that downloads/signs/uploads things for them. Note, it does do anything when you paste - you need to manually hit enter)

To be fair, "<$>" is a synonym for "fmap", so "fmap capitalise readStrLn" is the go-to alternative.

The "do" example is not only more verbose, but less general (it only applies to monads rather than all functors), and relies on special syntax (despite its awkwardness, "<$>" is still just a function call).

You could also do "capitalise `fmap` readStrLn", which is kind of intermediate between the two :)

I find his preaching on the one true way to success just as frustrating as a pushy parent who insists their child do all of the extra curricular activities, is so gifted, and so on and so forth.

I get that we all draw from personal experience when defining our world view - but I'm reluctant to make blanket statements about anything. As for the idea that this one short list of rules will guarantee your children are "successful"? I just don't buy into it. At all.
That depends on the adversary.

For something I don't want to get into the hands of local law enforcement (outside US), Wickr might be better than text messages.

But I trust my network provider more when it comes to keeping the data safe, if I don't mind that local LEO agencies can readily access it. They are under strong legal and contractual obligations not to disclose the information to third parties and have better funding than Wickr.

Wickr probably does a pretty good job, but they might be backdoored (ie. keep plaintext of communications and/or metadata) and might get hacked and leak the data and release it in the internet.

In two previous jobs I had Latitude notebooks. Both were pretty old at the time I was using them, so the battery was pretty much unusable. Besides that, they were working very well. Reliability-wise, these things are totally worth the price.
I'm not arguing for a poison pill of forced labor...Do you disagree that there is any form of conscription that isn't "forced labor"?

I think that by definition, taking people and forcing them to do work they don't want to do is forced labor. I don't subscribe to your Orwellian redefinition of soldiering as not being labor, simply because you label it "non-economic".

I'm also not sure of the relevance of this redefinition. Whether or not your poison pill is redefined to be forced labor or not, it's subverting democracy because the public wants a war staffed by volunteers and mercenaries. You want to remove that choice from them.

In that case we are all called in to serve and organized to fight effectively. Our neighbors who can't fight take care of our kids while we're away. Is that forced labor?

If we've all contractually agreed to it, no. If we are forcing people who didn't agree to the contract to join us, yes.

There ends up being a wide range of skills that fall into any classification and "front-end developer" is no different from what I see. For the majority of jobs, knowing html/css/js and modern js/css frameworks probably covers it. Your case sounds a little bit more specialized.

Then sometimes you see a "front-end developer" role and you find out it's actually a designer role.

I don't have a ton of actual front-end dev experience but when I get to do it in my consulting role I like it. So I'm trying to move into a role like that but the comments here make me think I don't have those skills. I don't have a strong CS background but was hoping I could still do front-end dev work. Then people are talking about algorithms and being a math minor and I'm not sure I could do that.
So they say. The story I always got is that turbo ( for aviation - where this all grew up ) was simply lighter.

The old rule of thumb "turbo costs 3x less than super" is true for a lot of cases. Supercharge provides a linear boost where turbo does not.
Yeah well I think it has been proven that Gates was more style than substance and some of the choices he made early in the DOS wars were at the expense of others like Kildall. He was able to take a something that was not technically superior (copied or not) and beat his competition (DOS 6.22 anyone?). So yes he is a "good" capitalist but his 31337 skills are sh!t, he was never a tech genius.

While I second this recommendation I would also think that it doesn't make much sense that most HR people would prefer a "classic" resume over such a piece.

It tells you a lot more about a person WHY and HOW he/she started several different things then the fact THAT those things were done.

Try to imagine how this text would read in a resume like style: strip out all the anecdotal things about how and why and just leave the "facts". To a HR person this would read like "Oh my gosh, this person isn't knowing what to start next." But with all the anecdotal parts it reads more like "Oh a person which knows how to train different skill by theirself."

As a foreigner, what i find myself thinking is that the mcmansions are trying to catch the feel of a generational dwelling while being brand new.

Meaning that if you look at old houses in Europe or similar you very often find extensions and whatsnot that have been added without any overall design in mind. Instead they were going by the time and resources at hand at the time of addition.
"Obama is a Socialist" sounds very strange to European ears - he would be a center-right politician at most in the UK or most EU countries.

Community Broadband is a propaganda term. What the (normally excellent) FCC is actually talking about is taxpayer funded broadband.

hehe, my first years of programming were filled with failure.

With 8 years I got a C64 and tried programming on it, but didn't get much going beside some arithmetic and prints.

My next gig was mIRC with 15 years. Copied some scripts to get funny colors going and later build some funny chat bots for games or social experiements.

Then I did a website with PHP, when I was 16 and had some C in high school were I build 2 console games (asteroids etc.)

With 21 I did my first paid website.

As one can see, it took me many many years before I was able to make money with my skills.

The World Series of Hacking– Without Humans
I don't think this is a flaw, in fact I think it neatly solves the problem of how to extend the language without committing to a design too eagerly and provides a platform for experimentation.

There are pragmas that GHC implements that are now widely held to be problematic, but we wouldn't know this without an implementation, and using pragmas, we are realistically able to deprecate and remove these extensions.
Oh, I've been in the business for a long time and have used many, many different types of machines. Everything from (very) cheap eMachines to IBM Thinkpad to Dell laptops; I've used them all and all I can think about is how lacking they are. I'm a professional programmer, I make my living with these things, they have to work correctly, all the time. My father was a mechanic and he had to purchase a lot of his own tools. Did he get the $3 screwdriver from Harbor Freight? No, he purchased the $45 one from SnapOn, and it was worth every, single, penny. I feel the same way about my tools. The chair I'm sitting in is a 10 year old Aeron and it works just as well as the day it was made. Sure it costs more than the $90 "office" chair at Staples, but I sit in it all day every day and it doesn't make my back hurt. It was worth every, single, penny.

For me, the more I read the more I think I understand. Also, the more I know I forget. In an information technology metaphor, the metadata improves but a lot of the input stream data just gets dropped on the floor.

Of course, Kay may be different. But for me, some things stick and others don't and the things that stick stick due to some combination of my interests, the quality of the author's writing and dumb luck of timing in the external world. And that means that often I will make different connections when rereading because the context in which I am reading is different.

Good luck.
This whole article reeks of magical thinking (as do many of the comments here).

I have been looking for information on what constitutes a McMansion vs a non-McMansion and the arguments parallel the same sort of stuff that made Feng Shui so popular: there are magical rules that make things right or wrong.

Would love so see a real test done on these assumptions. If there are real rules that are being violated with these homes, then an unbiased test should be easy to put together.

I don't really get what keybase.io is supposed to solve, but it doesn't get in the way of importing keys into Enigmail.

If you are in Enigmail's Keymanager you can import from a URL when the content is well-formatted.

Examples that work:

https://keybase.io/snassar/key.asc
https://pgp.samirnassar.com
http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x69A75542488...

It would be nice if Keybase made the URL more easily "gettable" instead of hiding it behind 2 clicks.
They actually use the original IBM tooling, I think. They bought it in the 90's. Around the same time they designed their website.
Why not?

If you are doing a blue/green type deploy.. you are basically building up a new VM to be your new environment. It can do all kinds of download and compile type stuff. Who cares if some is pip installing?
You can use Keybase with GPG without letting it handle your private key. (I do.)

No, it doesn't support either.

ActionScript is only supported through the Flash plugin, and inside the Flash environment -- and even that is taken out altogether in the new Chrome release.

C++, not at all. Except if you mean Chrome is written in C++ itself, or you can use Native Client, which again is another plugin like environment.

So, nothing similar to JS at all.
