I think it also depends on the type of startup you have, and how confident and knowledgeable you are of your target market.

I'm currently reaching the end of the ideation phase, and although I'm familiar enough with my target users, I plan to spend a few months in Asia (where they are) to test my assumptions - hidden and conscious - and see if I'm missing out anything else. No matter how careful and smart your assessments are, ultimately it's all in your head! So yes you're right, we need to be wary of false positives and make sure that we really understand our users. But launching fast is a pretty valid idea too; personally it would be a wasted opportunity if I go on the trip without anything to show! A simple prototype can be more powerful and a much better conversation starter, plus the further advantage of lighting the fire under your bum. That would close the catch 22 loop, I hope.
One way around this is to have typeclasses for all the different kinds of effects you'd like with instances for IO. Then for testing you can use a different instance that produces a value of a free monad.

For the love of everything that is good, if you buy this laptop, go for the 4k screen. It's beautiful.

It's a big laptop, you'll use it on a desk, so the battery life is fine.

I use my XPS 9550 for work and carry around a MBP13 for email / reading / surfing.

The biggest problem with the 9550 by far is the keyboard. The MBP keyboard is amazing in comparison. However it is a laptop keyboard, I have yet to encounter a good one (old Thinkpads come the closest). Just buy a decent mechanical keyboard and plug it in.

Good ideas, thanks!
Not all laptop keyboards suck. I have Asus laptop and the keyboard is great, much better than mechanical for me. Light on the fingers with proper mechanics behind tapping keys. And I am developer, so I type a lot...

I worked with someone who had a Model M. I thought he was a super fast typer, until I realized the keys make a sound on the way down and the way up, making his perceived words per minute (PWPM) twice is actual WPM.
The school 42 its NOT A BOOTCAMP. I think people are not reading the article because i see a lot of people comparing it to bootcamps. It lasts a lot more than bootcamps, 3 years and students never learn rails javascript or any web developement stuff.
[EDIT] You learn the base, lowllevel stuff and you code a lot. Afterwards you are able to pick any language or framework in a week. Students learn to teach themselves.
Not all laptop keyboards suck. My (old model) Thinkpad keyboard is really good. I even use it on my desktops (home and work) https://sc02.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1vYX2KXXXXXarXVXXq6xXFXXXp/Gen...

Thinkpad t460 - great keyboard, not as good as the past but switching over from a macbook. wow so much travel and such comfortable keys.
It doesn't hurt you.
One point might be, that Haskell thinks big. Its strengths might not be too noticeable with smaller projects and be problematic because of a steeper learning curve. The inertia is huge. Imperative programming has a lot of momentum, because it reads more or less like text, not maths.

A steep learning curve means effectively more power. And that means responsibility. If modularization means separation of concerns, and thus less responsibility, lack of power is largely mitigated, but it puts the responsibility on the s/w-architects.

Just like LISP's strength supposedly is revealed when it's the whole OS. And as they say, any involved program will contain an ad-hoc implementation of LISP :)

C, eg., also resembled the hardware architecture more closely. With concurrent programming, though, we see more functional influences creep into the staple languages. It's the other way around with Haskell's do notation.

Anyway, as a research project, it is rather academic. Therefore it is often not backwards compatible, which is an immediate show stopper and also shows that it's far from finished, due to its bigger goals.
Never mind that in so doing they basically rewrote the show.

Another show that got such a treatment is known as Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs in the west. The original name was Star Musketeer Bismark.

That said, the rework allows us to experience Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) putting on a cowboy drawl.
Yes, I suppose I was exaggerating. But the equalizing mentality does exist, even if it probably grows weaker with every new generation.
I've used a lot of laptops and have still to find one which either types as nicely as a good mechanical keyboard or is as comfortable as the Microsoft Ergonomic (which sadly has rubbish typing action).

Of course this kind of thing is very personal, it depends on a lot of factors.

The 9550 keyboard just feels cheap and wobbly. The action is otherwise actually pretty pleasing. It wants to be the MBP keyboard but just isn't quite there.
What's the point actually? I mean, I admire the diligence required to write it all down but how should this change my outlook on programming? The general idea is 'in order to be a good programmer, keep doing computer stuff'. Do we need extensive biographies full of details to learn this?
Is keybase.io still mostly useless because it is not compatible with other key-exchange servers and can't be easily added to Enigma in Thunderbird?
> also allows school to serve as childcare year round

And here is the primary purpose of public school. Why else is there such a push to create younger and younger pre-kindergarten programs? It's simple. Public schooling is not about education, it is about warehousing children during working hours, since the economy has shifted to require two full-time incomes.
They have core tools, but obviously the majority of their code is bridging the core tools and their client's services.

Are you kidding me? If that extremely-slick dashboard (I hadn't seen it before) is representative of the quality of their UI for all their products (I actually doubt it is), as an enterprise/government company I am shocked they have not yet annihilated their competition. If it is representative, we now know why they have to spend money on lobbying - the only reason their competitors are alive is because of entrenched influence.

What's hilarious is you've broken down individual components of Palantir's offering and made the case that each individual component can be replaced by open-source or by a competitor. But that's literally missing the forest for the trees. It's the whole integrated package that matters. Nobody (or very few) is doing the whole package as well as they are.
True, the old Core 2 Duo era Thinkpad keyboards were not bad. Still not a patch on a good quality full sized keyboard, mind. Updated my comment for clarity

I think the annoyance factor could be amped-up a bit more if you mapped each key to a digital drum kit.

High hat backspace!
I own the Dell XPS 15 FHD and have experienced same issues. However, mostly I do not notice them. Have not experienced the random wakeups.

Another issue is the crappy broadcom wifi card that shipped with it. Wifi connection would just randomly disappear and only return after multiple retry/reboot combinations. Replaced it with an intel card and haven't had any problems since.

I do like the laptop but do not believe these problems should exist on a laptop with such a high pricetag.
IBM scientists say big data can be used to quickly find sources of poisoned food
I have a Model M at home, and while I find that the sound helps me keep my rhythm while typing, it can be really annoying in an office environment.

At my last job, being unhappy with the keyboard I had, I brought the Model M to work one day (it was just gathering dust at home). While typing was much more pleasant, I quickly discovered I had to stop typing whenever my coworker's phone rang. This, in turn, quickly became annoying for me, so at the end of the day, I packed it up and took it back home.

The Model M is one of the best keyboards I ever had the pleasure of using, but I would not like to inflict that level of noise to coworkers at the office.

(The best keyboard I ever used, interestingly, was a Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 made by Microsoft. I am not a big fan of Microsoft, but they really know how to build a great keyboard. Unfortunately, this was the only keyboard I ever managed to spill tea on... and on its identical replacement. I took that as a hint that some higher power might not want me to use Microsoft keyboards.)

That assumes you can trust 1) the (proprietary) application on the recipient's end to delete the message, 2) the recipient to not save the message some other way, and 3) the opaqueness of the protocol preventing anyone from writing a replacement client that doesn't delete messages.

There's no way to guarantee deletion; if the recipient can read it, the recipient can save it.
> 22 system calls ... that had the same function (and function number) as the CP/M code.

That probably shows evidence of reverse engineering, not code copying, similar to the clean-room reimplementation of IBM's BIOS chips by Compaq.

> the types of actions that send/receive text from a printer, phone, hard disk, etc.

I know they are giving examples for a modern audience, but I was amused by the inclusion of phones in that list. Heck, even hard drives would have been unsupported until version 2 IIRC.
Again, Palantir is not an AI company. They are a data visualization and analytics company. So all your perfectly fine points about ontologies and AI winter are not relevant.

If you are so close to your coworkers that typing on your keyboard will disrupt their phone calls, you're too close.

If you have a real office, anything short of blasting Slayer won't disturb anyone else.
I use a mechanical keyboard with brown Cherry MX switches and am hated enough already. Sometimes my coworker even leaves the room. Good thing is, he's one of my best friends otherwise I probably wouldn't be allowed to use that keyboard at all.

But cool project!
There's not a small number of cases where people's work was coopted to create successful proprietary software. JunOS is closed-source and based on FreeBSD - the PS4's OS similarly so. When I went scrolling through an old iPod's copyright page, there's an incredible amount of MIT/BSD-licensed software in there. And so on and so forth.

You'd think they could build a laptop wifi card that didn't totally suck, but I've been through a half-dozen different laptops, work and personal, over the years, and they are all terrible.
I wish they also included trackpoint. Would be instant buy for me. Unfortunately Dell has not been very consistent in that regard.
>> but the problem is that this laptop can wake up randomly and if it's in your bag it can overheat. And there is no way to tell if it's on.

Deal-breaker, right there. I had a hard enough time with a previous dell/ubuntu combo pulling this trick and roasting itself alive in my bag, and I've no desire to repeat.
As someone who was in condensed matter physics, I think this is one of the most important articles for understanding the modern mindset in physics, and even fields like machine learning.

He is right, but ... he means something different by "elite." Knowing technology will get you a good job and benefit you in other ways, it is not the fastest and surest path to social prestige.

Attending a top university is the fastest and surest path (though, like everything in life, not guaranteed) to that tiny class that rules the world.

Whether you want to play that game, or whether you prefer to win that game the hard way, is another question.

I've been blaming Microsoft for it but I'm not too sure if Dell is involved now.
Ask Tim Paterson - he probably doesn't stand to lose too much now from telling the truth - assuming "the truth" is any different from conventional wisdom, which of course, it isn't.
Pointers on how to improve this (while maintaining your API) would be great :)

The Dell XPS laptops have a reputation for being good to use with Linux, but I read somewhere else that Linux doesn't handle 4K very well yet. Apparently, the UI elements look tiny because they don't scale. Any chance you've tried it, and can comment?
Have you ever used a Model M?

With a decent amount of enthusiasm, a Model M can disrupt phonecalls being made in another room entirely.

Best keyboard ever, but I also don't take mine to work any more, out of consideration for my coworkers. Also it's really big and heavy...
I love that quote. Interestingly, when I think of Miles Davis, subconsciously my internal memory goes to 'Tutu'. I can't say that I understand it or even enjoy it, but I would definitely describe it as art as it invokes something in me. As a child of the 80s, I get it in a very personal way that is different than what I get when listening to 'Kind of Blue'.
As stupid as it may sound, I really dislike laptops with 16:9 screens. That is why, together with other small things such as build quality, that I cannot seem to find anything better than Macbooks to fit my taste..
My MacBook does this all the time when using Parallels. That, or it hard-crashes.
Wearables don't necessarily need a screen, and if they do have a screen, a more elegant version of Google Glass is going to be more persuasive - when someone finally gets it right, which they will in the next few years. (Could be Apple. But I'd put money on someone like Huawei.)

The watch format is a dead end.

The user benefit of the iPhone was obvious. The user benefit of a wearable watch is not obvious at all. As soon as you call the product a "watch" you're constraining the possible design and the user expectations, and also competing with hundreds of years of history.

As for health - for now, FitBit does it better.

A permanent on-wrist health lab with medical record sharing would be amazing, but the technology for that is a long way away.

Meanwhile Pokemon Go has done a lot more for health than any wearable has.
I had to chuckle at your first sentence. Over here (UK) 'tool' is often used in slang as a derogatory term for a person, effectively likening them to an obvious part of the male anatomy...
Shout-out to Unicomp[0], who make new USB Model M's from the original specs. I love mine and my wife hates it because it's too loud and clakkety. Their website is horrid and the fit-and-finish on the product leaves a bit to be desired, but the switches are great.

This is only true if the house is isolated, rather than in a neighborhood. The feel of a neighborhood—how welcoming it is, how it promotes healthy behaviors and discourages unhealthy ones (including crime), how neighbors interact with each other—is partly influenced by the architecture of the homes therein. Your neighbors absolutely are impacted by your home's design. While some of it no doubt is due to "snobbishness", much of it is also out of concern for the neighborhood as a whole. The same can't be said for a computer, which, even if it is in a highly visible area, won't impact anything outside of a dozen sqft or so.

Difficult, yes, but doable: mazda's SKY-D diesel features 14:1 compression and Tier II Bin 5 / Euro VI compliant emissions without Urea. The lower emissions were achieved by lowering the compression ratio and lengthening the exhaust manifold, so that the exhaust gasses can cool. As the result, mazda is the only manufacturer selling diesel passenger cars in Japan.
To be fair, I found the second one perfectly reasonable - it's kind of nice on its determination to avoid the recipe the article outlines.

Having said that, it's often better to fail by actively trying to avoid following the norm than to try to follow it and not quite succeed.
Wow, that's hideous, thanks for sharing. I guess it's what you are more used to, European ugliness pains me much more than US.
The sameness of US suburbia does not bother me much, as I didn't grow up with it. Also, at least there is a lawn and place for a pool. With those Belgian catastrophes (though could be any European country really), there is no benefit.

I myself know little about the subject, but since I followed the discussions I noticed the Singapore has been mentioned several times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_housing_in_Singapore

> The majority of the residential housing developments in Singapore are publicly
> governed and developed. As of 2013, 80% of the resident population live in such
> accommodation.

It's been an often used example because it is a market economy, no use pointing to a "socialist" country because nothing unexpected if they let government take care of housing.

I can only point to this example though, since it always seems to come up in these discussions, I cannot evaluate it.

EDIT: Aaaand it's come up in this thread too. Just search for "Singapore" to find the comments.
Some of those are ugly, but some paint and an artistic mind would get those less ugly. I admit, I like some of the houses on that list. But I'm pretty weird.
The Relationship Between Cryptocurrency Tokens, Value and Work
Serious question in comedy thread time -

Does anyone know of another keyboard that's as comfortable and all-round wonderful to use as the Model M, but quiet?
I agree with you. A strict emissions test regime would be a good first step. But politicians have known about this for years and little has been done - apparently it's a too hard (or too expensive) problem to fix.

The thing is, even brand-new "clean" diesels are still worse polluters, for toxic particulates and NOx, compared to petrol and petrol-electric hybrid vehicles.

London already has a disincentive on diesels coming into effect by 2019, when pre-Euro 6 (i.e. older than September 2015) diesel vehicles will be subject to a £12.50/day charge to drive in London.

There are calls to extend this to cover all diesel vehicles, eventually leading to a total ban:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jul/18/ban-dies...

Licensing of new diesel taxis will also soon be prohibited in London, and all single-deck busses will be zero-emission by 2020 (and double-deck busses will, at minimum, be hybrids).

What is a "tagged service"? Could you elaborate? I'm assuming this has nothing to do with docker tags?
I agree that it's far from what is needed in everyday tasks, but in defense of that process: if you are unable to implement fizzbuzz, Fibonacci numbers, etc., I am almost sure you can't understand react sagas or dependency injection properly. Mixed with more open-ended questions (why was React built? how does it compare to Angular? What's a generator function?), I believe this isn't the worst type of interview.

See the other side: a significant number of applicants can't implement fizzbuzz, Fibonacci sequences or anything, but ask for ridiculous salaries and their portfolios appear to be mostly borrowed plumes. We need a process that isn't too time-consuming to id the chaff, allowing for false negatives (people who are good at Fibonacci numbers and interview questions, but not much else), but keeping the false positives low (I explain the Fibonacci sequence first so it doesn't become a math riddle rather than a programming task).
Chromebook Pixel - 3:2 aspect ratio. Best screen because of the resolution and aspect ratio. The Pixel was built for developers, hence the choice of screen. Also comes with the best keyboard and trackpad going, not to mention the best speakers (2013 version) and a rock solid build quality that makes those Apple things feel cheap. Oh, the screen is touchscreen too which helps if you are developing for things with touch screens. Price? Allegedly expensive but who cares if it actually lasts a few years.
