Hi,

I am Unix geek with 17 years of experience. Currently working as Oracle DBA team lead (five years of experience) in local financial institution. Can virtually develop any Linux based solution. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks.
Agree. $15 for the whole thing.

Seeing what developers prefer and recommend is a better way to get in front of the trends than looking at what codebases companies are (stuck) maintaining.

Unfortunately the JavaScript ecosystem is frothy enough that a lot of junior developers are inevitably going to waste time learning technologies that will be considered obsolete by the time they have mastered them.

Seeing what people are hiring for is of course a useful signal too but it's easy to become a COBOL programmer if that's the only thing you look at.
I think of it as happening in a sort of Moore's law sense. Double what you can do today in 18 months, then do that 5-7 times in the next decade, and the results should be pretty staggering.

What's even neater about AI is that the requirements to get involved are much lower than that of hardware and much easier to propagate. Combine that with the inherent power of machines teaching themselves and networking with each other and we may be looking at more of a power law or exponential rate of increase in capacity for accomplishments.

Very exciting times.

We all like to joke about mailbox spam, but it's certainly a serious issue - and the worst part is there's little to zero incentive for USPS to stop stuffing our mailboxes full of garbage.

As long as the junk mailer companies pay their postage, USPS is more than happy to deliver the junk to you.

"So now we know: Tesla Motors sold more cars than expected in the third quarter."

No, we don't. They _delivered_ more cars than expected. We also know they produced slightly more cars than they delivered to customers (25,185 vs 'about 24,500), so apparently they didn't manage to deliver all of them. That's to be expected. The 'about 24,500' delivered will include cars produced in the last weeks of Q2 and will exclude cars produced in the last weeks of Q3, and the latter number is higher (by 30+ %)

So, it seems they can sell every car they produce, and aren't sitting on an inventory. That makes it likely that they sold more cars, too, but that information is missing from the linked-to Bloomberg article (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-02/tesla-deli...)

Worst-case, they delivered cars ordered in Q2 and have a backlog of zero orders now. It won't be that bad (likely be a long stretch), but if I were an investor, I would want to know more than just the number of deliveries.

(I also would try and get an estimate as to how many of the 400,000+ pre-orders for the model M would lead to actual sales. That's very tricky, as it would be affected by the qualities of that car)

The blood market is very different from the kidney market, and simply translating conclusions from one to the other is very dubious.

Blood donations produce the needed amount of blood, and that system basically works. So it makes sense to not take any risks to expand the already sufficient supply.

Meanwhile the kidney transplant world is desperately tragic. About a dozen Americans die each day from lack of a kidney. Even if an added kidney supply would be lower quality on the margin, it would save a huge amount of lives.

Xiaomi’s 4K Android TV box is now on sale in the U.S. for $69
I'm honestly not so sure I'd accept it as the "fastest rendering library" for a variety of reasons:

- micro-benchmarks are really good at telling you the story you want to hear.

- profiling erector revealed that it placed a lot of pressure on the garbage collector. This was back when it too was the "fastest templating library." Micro-benchmarks won't really tell that story.

Other issues:

- blocks are a good abstraction until they aren't. No doubt backtraces are better than with erector. This was seriously traumatic to debug, templates were a gigantic ball of mud.

- "_I_ don't need caching" isn't a counter-argument. The reality of using blocks to nest elements is that the boundary between "cacheable, static content" and "dynamic stuff" is indistinguishable.

It's not like caching is turned off in erector (or fortitude). People were constantly making changes to templates, shipping them, and having changes not show up because memcache isn't running in development.

You COULD try to argue that it's the same problem in erb or slim, except it mostly isn't. When ALL your code is ruby code, seeing the "cache below this line" is a lot harder.

Very cool. I've watched a few of the videos that the Walmart guys did on various topics (really scaling, RUM, etc) and they clearly know their stuff.
the big advantage with having the same language on both ends is being to use server-side rendering (isomorphic). So your first page serve includes the initial rendering of the content, and then the client-side code takes over to handle changes with no refreshes.

If the client is written in a different language than the server then you have to maintain two versions of the page code to achieve this, and they have to be in perfect sync. Hard to do. Easier to write the code once and transpile to JS for the browser (or write the back end in JS).
The archetype terminology comes from the use of Builder; you can get a rundown of what an archetype really is here, independently of its usage in Electrode: https://formidable.com/open-source/builder/

Framework and app generator are really quite far off from what an archetype provides. An archetype is like an npm module template, but not one that is used to generate code files and then discarded, but more like a live "superclass" of a module; think inheritance but for npm modules.

The basic idea is that if you have dozens or hundreds of similar modules (for, say, React components), with similar build + testing needs, you can use the same archetype for all of them. A generator like yeoman could spit out boilerplate for you, but then what if your boilerplate changes? Your packages quickly get out of sync with your latest best practices. Having some components on Babel 5 and some upgraded to Babel 6, for example, was a real pain. You have to go through your dozens of packages and bring them up to date. Archetypes on the other hand are intended to be encapsulated boilerplate that packages basically "inherit" from at runtime.

Hope that helps!
This used to be my feeling too, but I changed my mind when I worked with a company doing just what you describe. They grew it to a 50-people company within 5 years. Initially I felt smarter than them and wondered how on earth they could have put all their eggs in the same basket in such a way.

Then I realized that with the money they had, they had been able to hire me to do this work, so perhaps I wasn't the smartest guy in the room after all...

The thing to understand is that capitalism is about identifying opportunities to accumulate the largest amount of capital in the shortest amount of time.

The truth is if you focus only on "logical", sustainable, defensible, infinitely scalable business models, you'll be missing out a good 60% of the opportunities.

If you could let's say accumulate $600,000 in 5 months with a non viable business, you'd have all the time in the world to work on the viable businesses you mention.

In capitalism, you rarely know for sure which game the other person is playing. It's not because she is moving cards around that she is playing cards.

So the bottom line of my comment is don't be too smart . Being able to make dumb money is as important - if not more important - than being able to make smart money.

And I can even say : making dumb money at the right time is more valuable than making smart money at the wrong time.

Because of how Nix works, upgrading should leave your system in an identical state as if you had done a fresh install.

I tend to support euthanasia, but its practice in that article scares me.

I guess I believe that people ultimately do have a responsibility to others. Her son did not ask to be born and Tom's quote "You’ve just taken away the suffering of one person and transposed it to another!" convinces me that euthanasia is not as clean as we might believe. What if Tom having suffered this triggering event and having a genetic predisposition to depression applies for euthanasia? It seems euthanasia for the whole family is ethically above board in Belgium, but I still feel that outcome is unacceptable.

The only thing that really bothers me is that so many ethicists in Belgium (as far as this article describes) believe this is clear cut. I generally don't have too many disagreements with most concepts of western philosophy, but if this is the end result of the application of self-determination, I definitely have plenty of reservations.

Finding out that your parent committed suicide after the fact is just unacceptable to me, especially because the parent in this article did honestly express to the doctor that she cares for them.
Congrats! Great to see the growth.
I think an unfortunate side effect of this would be increased organ theft.
I think thinkpads of that generation had RF shielding issues.

I had a W520 that would crash whenever it was moved across a table or removed from a backpack. Turns out the shielding on the RAM door was faulty and the static charge generated by friction on the bottom of the case was enough to corrupt the ram contents and crash the laptop. Talk about a bizarre failure.

This does mean that Stripe users in Japan can charge in USD, or our other supported currencies. You put the currency in the API call based on whatever logic you want; we charge the user's CC in the specified currency; we credit your bank account JPY at the appropriate rate. (I work at Stripe, in Japan.)

As is typical for Stripe, this involved an ungodly amount of offline work to enable an extra query parameter that most of our customers will never have to think deeply about the implementation of.
That's playing fast and loose with the literal every-day definition of the words "finite", "state" and "machine".

There is actually something in computer science with a precise mathematical definition called a "finite state machine," [1] that is not simply any machine that has a finite number of states.

When you use that term, you're not just talking about what it can do, but also what it can't do, because "finite state machine" implies that it's just a finite state machine, not a pushdown automata, and not a Turing machine.

With a Turing machine, you can implement a finite state machine or a pushdown automata, but Turing machines and pushdown automata are more than just finite state machines.

That said, user interfaces typically use lots of finite state machines at different levels (hierarchical, and unrelated), but they also require more powerful machines like pushdown automata and Turing machines (for validating email addresses, for examples).

If all you had to program user interfaces were finite state machines, but no Turing machines, you would be a very frustrated programmer, and your users would be unhappy to have such a brittle inflexible user interface.

People have always started with "I know it when I see it" and worked backwards to find a set of rules that fit the things they currently knew about. For instance, the requirement for life to be cellular was added when we realised that our previous definition of life didn't exclude fire.

Once robots tick all of our current boxes, I'm sure we'll add something like "must use a combination of electrical and chemical signalling" or "must be powered largely or wholly by ATP reactions."

You'd be surprised.

I always find it strange when people use "unacceptable" with wild abandon, like they're generals receiving some demand of unconditional surrender.
