A couple of points:

First and probably most important:

* IH - Big empty block at the top that states in clear, large letters what's going on. The text pops out and draws the reader to it.
* TS - First thing my eye's go to is the first startup in the list. I have no idea why it's there or what I'm looking at.

Second:
* IH - I see companies, names and logos and a revenue number that ties in directly with the stated purpose.
* TS - I see logos, and a name but again don't know why they are there. It looks like a generic feed of some kind.

Basically, I'd say IH needs a site redesign. The current one doesn't tell me, as a reader, much about what's going on or what an item being on the list is about. IH doesn't look bad, it's just not as immediately obvious what the purpose is.

>how we can combine recent signals (like thumbs) to take into account your current mood

This is the most interesting part of the problem to me. I always worry that the signals I send my favorite music radio service permanently alter the course of the channel. In some cases, I want that. In others I don't.
interesting, maybe by studying these animals we will discover new tricks to live longer
Sex trafficking, international terrorism, homelessness, racism, crushing poverty, wage theft, mass shootings, income inequality, food deserts...are you for real?
Theodore Dalrymple (a retired prison psychiater from England) wrote a book about how psychiatry undermines morality. It is called 'Admirable Evasions' (1). One of the things he notes: many people call themselves depressed nowadays. Few people call themselves unhappy.

Thanks for the reply.

> Finally, the education for licensed therapist varies WILDLY, and there are a lot of really bad ones.

I hear you there. I had some iffy experiences early on. But a few years ago I found a really good one. He retired, but recommended someone else to me, who also turned out to be really good. I'm seeing him these days.

Maybe what needs to happen is for the norm to be that psychiatrists who see the general public (so not people like you, perhaps) do so in the context of a joint practice that includes various counsellor/therapist types as well. The approach could be that each patient is a client of the practice, with the various specialists contributing their expertise as needed.

(Maybe that already happens a lot. I couldn't say.)
Windows... XP? Is that still a thing?
OK, you definitely get it :) Love what you wrote below:

"No documentation survives its first encounter with a real newcomer."

I hope it didn't seem like I was accusing you of negligence – the docs you have are an awesome start, and I fully appreciate the difficulty of the problem. Best of luck with things going forward, looks like a really neat project.

and the people that grow your coffee beans? How long do they live for? There is a tension between believing that a rising tide will lift all boats (eventually, someday) and that part of the prosperity of much of the West is directly built upon the back of a system that disenfranchises most of the developing world -- depending upon it for cheap and disposable labor, waste dumping sites, etc.
A Glimpse into the Future with React Native for Web
From what I remember Clear Channel purchased a company called Thumbplay and rolled it into iHeart Radio to build out their web app. The developers that they acquired with that purchase whom I've met legitimately are music fans and had very mixed feelings about having to work for Clear Channel.

Just an anecdote, I totally agree with your sentiment.
The First Stand-up
Why isn't Kenya on the list? Considering the conference there last year.
Incidentally, when I matriculated at UIUC in 1997, most of the computer-lab Macs ran NCSA Mosaic. (The PCs and UNIX machines had Netscape.) I remember receiving some materials on internet resources when I got to the dorms. At the time, many freshmen required instructions on how to use the internet. These materials had been prepared a few years earlier and still included references to Gopher.
There really is so much beauty (and yes, meaning) out there to experience, comprehend, and enjoy. And there are so many kind, brilliant, fascinating people (and other living entities) to experience and share notes on it all with. Despite all the inevitable hassle and suffering and messiness.

So yes, I'd say it's worth it. You don't have to try to stretch it out indefinitely, time-wise, if that's not your thing. I think the key to our journey through all of "this", whatever it is, is to treat it as if it is, in fact, infinite (or rather timeless), even though our conscious experience of it happens to be stuck on a one-way track which makes it seem (to our primitive minds) like it's finite.
I also collect old models, centralized or not, in case they're useful in modern situations (esp intranet) for reliability or security especially. What do you think of Tannenbaum et al's Globe model as WWW alternative?

I thought it was an interesting design that provided nice way of reducing abstraction gaps and rework in the various layers/techs. They integrated it with their Amoeba OS that ran on cluster of workstations w/ single, system image.
That's just an appeal to nature. Just because something was an evolutionary necessity (and that is not even clear in this case) it does not follow that that thing should actually be desirable for us.

A plausible explanation of aging is for example the evolutionary shadow: From the perspective of your genes you don't matter (much) after you've successfully passed on you genes to the next generation. Thus there is no evolutionary pressure for longevity. The programmed cell decay of aging might be a way of multicellular organisms to fight cancer.
We should focus on reducing suffering, not on creating arbitrarily long life-times. When suffering is low enough that death-anxiety is the greatest source of human angst, then work on immortality.
> If the carrot does not work anymore, they have the stick.

Not really; while they've spent a lot of money of hardware to use as the stick, they House of Saud lacks the loyalty of enough of the population for the stick to be the primary control -- they need a lot of carrot to even keep the trigger fingers that would apply the stick on their side, which is a lot of the reason for all the accommodation the regime makes with religious extremists.
I laughed out loud on this one. This is great, especially since I just finished reading an Asimov book.

I guess I'd have to change my database to be built on blockchain technology so that it is cryptographically impossible to modify past state without detection. Then I'd just need to make sure the computer has append only access to the backups.
Truth be told, we have cautionary tales in our literature about pretty much any single thing a human being can desire. Power? Check. Riches? Check. Love? Check.
I find it fascinating how many chat applications exist, and how success is almost completely due to design. Most chat features you find in newer chat apps, like Kik or Whatsapp existed since AIM. Yet users are very willing to jump ship and grab onto an application with the same, perhaps fewer, feature if it's more eye-catching, or intuitive. It's a nice reminder that part of innovation in the tech industry is UI, and if you innovate a new interface for an existing service, it can be as ground-breaking as any other innovation in the industry.
This is cool, but can we call it something else? The People's * is a prefix used by totalitarian governments.
This article focuses mostly on design and the principles of rapidly prototyping a game, and I would say very little has changed in those areas over the years.

Something that has changed is the available tools for rapid game development. Ludum Dare is a regularly occurring game jam (next one starts Aug 26), and their tools page is a good resource:
http://ludumdare.com/compo/tools/

Somewhat unrelated, but a lot has also changed in the commercial market for indie games since this was written. On one hand, it has gotten much easier to commercially distribute indie games. But on the other hand, there is much, much more competition in this space now.

I viewed the site because it displayed revenue. That was the interesting thing to me.
You're using a browser version from January 2015 (it's currently at 48.0 as of 8/2/16), and your OS has not had support from Microsoft since 4/8/14. Your system is in desperate need of an upgrade, which could help prevent viruses. The longer you operate an outdated system, the likelier you are to encounter a virus.
So much they use themselves as the canonical example in the image for it:

It's all open-source, this is an area that if it matters this much to you, you could help support. The Rust community is hugely welcoming to people coming on and helping.
Hi cyberferret. This is a great answer that makes a lot of sense to me. Indeed, I didn't contact most of the featured startups, mostly because I thought they won't answer me until I have some volume on the site. That's a big lesson I learned today. Many thanks for the feedback.
Hi, Lee here, I created BOTH of email templates you're referring to. In fact you can use my Grunt workflow to create more https://github.com/leemunroe/grunt-email-workflow/

There are several differences with the templates for sale on HTMLemail.io: More layouts, a 6 column grid, better responsive support for mobile (including Gmail apps), includes high resolution image assets for social media and app store buttons, better support across all clients including Gmail and Outlook.
This article illustrates superbly what Bill Gates said "We tend to overestimate the impact of changes that will happen in 2 years, and underestimate those that will happen in next 10 years"
Yow. Hopefully you reported her to the licensing board?
> (Unfortunately, the default has to be the opposite in browser-based languages due to performance concerns.)

Also in Rust. Most apps that aren't servers don't want async I/O, and it causes a lot of problems when you need high-performance FFI. For example, in Servo async-everywhere would be a big problem for WebRender, which needs to be able to call OpenGL extremely quickly.

> Defaults matter. If some people use async I/O and others don't then you get a mess when they want to share reusable libraries. It's similar to the mess you get when there is more than one string type.

Given that having both is necessary for Rust (maybe a necessary evil), I think the right approach is to make jumping from one mode to the other painless. For sync-to-async, it needs to be easy to block on the result; for async-to-sync, it needs to be easy and fast to offload to a thread pool. If we can make it really easy to switch from one mode to the other, then most of the really hairy problems go away.
> mathematics works by people guessing rules and then checking them

This will sound facetious, but I suspect many people treat great swathes of life this way. My wife has a friend who tries any random googled herb-based cure any time she gets ill. Recovery from this illness, this cold or flu, is always taken as proof of the validity of the cure, regardless of how long she's had to ingest it.

You, reading this, have already thought of half a dozen ways to disprove her cures, as have I, however no amount of evidence can assuage this need to believe. At this point my theory is that this belief forms an intractable part of her personal identity.

At the core of all of this, and perhaps for these "autodidact physicists" as well, seems to be a very primal need to understand the universe in terms comprehendible one's self, regardless the cost.

With obesity at 66% (in the United States) I think the average life expectancy will start going down.

1900/day isn't very extreme. It's what I do on days I don't go to the gym (and 2200/day on days I do go). And I'm not underweight either--I'm within the healthy BMI range. People just eat too much food!
Aw shucks :) Thanks!
It doesn't appear that the set of rel numbers exists. If it did, someone should be able to point to it and say, "this is the set". No one can do that because the available space to present the set appears finite, but producing the set would require an infinite amount of space (assuming you need some exclusive space to represent each number).

It is no surprise that the set remains elusive, it doesn't exist.
To use your analogy, I feel like you're saying that only humans that have legs are human. I'm saying that they're all human.

This analogy is weird.

Furthermore, because closures aren't inherently boxed, there might not even be a stack frame to begin with. Closures are syntax sugar for a struct + a trait implementation on that struct, and said call is then very inline-able.

This is also where I'm getting at with the single invocation thing: with these futures, all of these closures are going to be inlined into one big state machine, which is then itself eventually put on the heap. But that heap allocation has nothing to do with the closure, and more to do with the future wanting to not tie its data down to a specific stack frame.
Oh I can understand! I'd feel for their plight too; it took me a while to get out from a couple gigs that I had principles in conflict with, so "doing it for the paycheck" isn't a light subject. Thanks for sharing, especially as a reminder that where we start and why we start may not be where we end up in the long-run.

Yes, whether I'm looking to spend money or earn money the first thing I want to see is how much money. I hate product reviews where the price is buried in the article, put it where everyone can find it quickly.
Founder of HR Partner here. I wrote the entire site from start to finish in about 3 months (from Nov/Dec 2015 to Feb/Mar 2016). Mainly working in the evenings (from 6pm to around 1-2am), after my usual consulting work during the day.

The site is around 22,000 lines of Ruby code, and has around 80 database tables. Not sure whether that is a normal rate of productivity for most devs, but as my interview explains, I am pushing 50 years old now, so my speed of development and my endurance is nowhere near what it was decades ago.

I did all the front end stuff as well for the public site, and the documentation site and the blog, status page site etc. About the only help I got was my wife to do the voiceover on the explainer video on the web site. (I had to learn After Effects to do the explainer video too).
It sounds like ALB is still regional whereas Google's LB is global.

Another Lee! Thanks for being transparent about the differences and for that awesome Grunt workflow. I'll take a closer look at the for sale templates.
Great. I'm looking forward to the day when I can retire my hacky workarounds to facilitate websockets on Elastic Beanstalk.
But why do you need to experience that beauty through one particular consciousness track, experienced through one particular mind (even this statement is incorrect, because if you define a person as a particular configuration of matter, then you are a new mind each time-interval)? Make way for new configurations, for more brilliant, fascinating minds.

Hey, this is Lee. Correct. The simple responsive email template is free and open source. If you have the time, or don't have the budget, you could definitely use this as a starting point and create the rest of the templates on top of this. It took me more than a few hours though :-)
The study also shows that Greenland shark females don’t reach sexual maturity until around 150 years old — suggesting that a century of heavy fishing could wipe out the entire species, says Bushnell. But climate change is a greater threat, says Aaron MacNeil, a marine biologist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science near Townsville, Queensland.

Fascinating that the reproductive timeline can be so long. I'd always thought evolution was heavily biased in favor of rapid reproduction.
> Nobody but a complete degenerate wakes up one day and says "You know what, I think I'm going to mainline some heroin." Opioid addiction starts with pills. If you take heroin out of the equation, they're going to start making krokodil or some other shit. You can't solve the drug problem until you solve the doctor problem.

It doesn't have to be pills. Snorting and smoking opioids is another way to start as well.

The rest of your comment checks out though. I can't even stand getting a flu shot so the thought of shooting up heroin gives me chills.

> The People's * is a prefix used by totalitarian governments.

Indeed. And so are words like "homeland".

The last ~2 decades have seen a widespread change in ideas about the relationship between the U.S. federal govt. and the people. As a result, practices that were once restricted to highly repressive states are now merely a bit controversial in the U.S. And then we also have these ways of naming things that you & I noted.

So I wonder: could it be that thinking more like a totalitarian somehow naturally leads one to talk more like a totalitarian?
There seems to be something about solar in particular that engenders overly optimistic claims. I've read several breathless stories over a span of decades about next-generation solar panels for instance, and yet we still have the same old ones, albeit manufactured more and more cheaply.
I played a very early build of Minecraft, when Notch posted it to an IRC channel I frequented at the time. It had primitive but recognizable voxel graphics, and almost no features. But the basic principles of exploration and building were there.

I can tell you with certainty that very early and unpolished prototypes of Minecraft were fun, and that the potential was obvious. (Though of course no one could predict just how huge Minecraft became.)
What does that have to do with anything? Some conditions are incurable, only treatable.
How AI Is Revolutionizing the Business Model
Fair enough, but they won't even release fake source code right now.
When Verizon talks about "wireless fiber" they are talking about fiber to the corner or fiber to the curb and then using mm-wave the last "100 Meters" so to speak. FiOS has been tremendously successful but one of the more difficult aspects is getting the fiber that last little bit into homes and offices. Getting fiber up and down the streets is no cake walk either but once done, the second part is extending it the rest of the way. The idea of using mm-wave technology to get it from the corner or curb to your living room is a great idea. If it can be made to work, it can deliver 3-5Gbps without having to have your yard torn up.

5G is a marketing term, but not necessarily a totally bad one. It generally refers to converged network technology that will more seamlessly integrate more aspect such as traditional BB, IoT, Mobility and so on. That is a pretty long term goal of course. Using 5G fixed wireless to provide BB to your home without extending fiber all the way into your house is just one aspect of 5G, one small application, but probably one of the more immediately possible and potentially profitable ones.
Nice! Hadn't seen that one before...

"Contributions welcome" is often echoed, but I like to remind colleagues that it is not the proper mentality to foster a real community. You can't just dump code on GitHub and assume the world is going to start firing off PRs to do your dirty work. You have to assume that no one else cares about your project, but being open to changes in code and leadership will make your project more robust to other use cases.
So assuming 1TB M.2 devices, you'll get 1TB * 7 * 4 = 28TB of storage in that stack, vs 8TB * 4 = 32TB of storage in the spinning rust solution. 40TB for 10TB spinnies.
That process is the second part of the process, once clear, basic documentation exists.
Honestly? My answer would be a concatenation of my "Someday/Maybe" list and "To read" list. So many things to do, so many things to learn. So little time.
That's true. But caring about the details is the bread and butter of the kinds of programs that Rust is targetted at. If you can get away with the reduced performance, abstracting away those details is a totally reasonable choice. Rust is not and never can be a programming language for all programmers, and that's super okay.
