> This is exactly how D-Bus works right now

Let me clarify: this is exactly how D-Bus conceptually works right now. In practice of course D-Bus acts as a multiplexor for the communications also. It is, however, possible to send one half of a socket pair via a D-Bus message.
What other people expect me to do is way down the list on the reasons I do things.

I have a phone for emergencies, it's never off silent, I don't answer the phone I ring people back when it's convenient for me or preferably I text.

People almost get offended with the "You never answer your phone!"..well yes that's because I'm busy and the automatic assumption that I should drop everything to answer your call is a little arrogant no?.

Family and close friends know that if it's important/urgent they can text "ring me" and I'll ring them back straightaway everyone else rings out (I don't have voicemail either) as I found that if people can't leave a voicemail they'll email me whatever it was they wanted..which they should have done anyway.

This constant push for everyone to be always available at the beck and call of other people is insane and I refuse to go a long with it, I grew up without a mobile phone (didn't get my first one til I was 20 in 2000 and I miss those days).
There is a problem with this argument: numbers are abstract entities. A number never really exists, only a physical system that a particular number models. If I write down 123, it is not the case that 123 now exists, only that the pixels on your screen now form a pattern that can be modeled by the abstract concept denoted by the symbol "123".

Now, pain clearly does exist. But pain is a process, and processes don't exist unless they actually happen. A simulation of a process is itself a process, but it is not identical with the process that it is simulating, it is a model of that process. A simulation of pain might have enough fidelity that it would be reasonable to call it "real pain" that is felt by some actual entity with subjective experiences as real as our own, but it's far from a slam-dunk.

In particular, the subjective experience of pain involves more than just the stimulation of pain receptors and the registration of those signals in the brain. General anesthesia eliminates the subjective experience of pain, but it doesn't do this by shutting down pain receptors, it does it by shutting down consciousness. Consciousness is an essential component of the subjective experience of pain.

Now, consciousness is a continuum, not a dichotomy, and it's possible that a shrimp has some level of consciousness and hence can feel pain. But agsin, it's far from a slam-dunk, and your argument certainly doesn't settle the matter one way or the other.
Yeah because HTML apps always turn out so well...
Almost correct. To be precise, it doesn't have the objects in memory, it instantiates all the native components on demand based on the JSON recipe. And all of them of course go away once you close that view.
Yet another classic example of Internet humor at work. In this case, the classic formula of describing something decidedly non-intellectual in an intellectual manner. Never gets old.
We all know arguing against a strongly held opinion usually results in the person with the strong opinion digging their heels in even deeper. At that point, things like reason kind of go by the wayside and don't have much effect.

As a poor example, my mother has fully bought into a snake-oil scheme where they sell you concentrated hydrogen peroxide as a cure-all. She won't hear a word against it, she always brings the conversation back to "OTC hydrogen peroxide has stabilizers in it." Asking "what is a stabilizer" gets no response.

The truth is, she doesn't know what a stabilizer is, but it's plausible enough to her that they could be "bad" that she's willing to buy the rest of the farm, along with the cow.

How can you argue against that kind of strongly held opinion? When the other party won't listen because of how strongly held the opinion is, you might as well talk to a wall.
Transpilers should be pretty straight forward. Maybe even for HTML syntax.
It's a courtesy to others at the expense of oneself and sometimes that expense is simply too high.
Importing Legacy Data into Your Rails App
All of that is running on a server, connecting to a server, etc.. If this is "serverless", then any random cpanel host has been doing "serverless" php/mysql for 20 years.

So it is, in fact, both a lie and misleading.
If you would like to elevate your thinking on this subject in order to understand what's going on, I recommend:

1. Iron law of oligarchy (1911 - 1700 words on wikipedia):
"all complex organizations, regardless of how democratic they are when started, eventually develop into oligarchies."

2. Dictator's handbook (2011) - Or CGP Grey's summary: rules for rulers (2016 - 18 minutes):
"Bad behavior" is emergent from power structures rather than human weakness. From democracies to dictatorships, organizations select for Machiavellian and psychopathic behaviors.

I can't recommend these enough. This life altering perspective takes <30 minutes to go over - plus potentially several days of despair.

The problems with the world are not user error. How can technology help?

Seems similar, but there are definitely advantages to this approach. HTML is crap for making apps.
I have a similar policy, if I'm working on something and looking for solutions, the solution that doesn't involve Oracle wins by default.
When you bring an example for "people stick to negative attitudes even when the things improve or are not like another bad thing", and the example you bring is actually a really bad thing – out of state tribunals are fully unacceptable, also in the way CETA modeled them – then it is very valid to question that example. It could be that your whole observation is wrong, that people do not really stick to negative perspectives, but rather that you became unwilling to see them as valid.

Your Python3 example works for me. But CETA does not. It just does not support your point.

This is cool and useful, but there are still some pieces missing: For one, the data is just a javascript object, and is not pulled from a database. There is also a lot that can be automated when making a REST api. For example, Django+Django REST Framework allows you to define models and serializers and BOOM you have a browsable API, as well as all POST/GET/PUT/PATCH/DELETE REST API endpoints created. I assume there is something out there like this for node, but the author doesn't mention it.

It ends with "...we should have endpoints for updating a hero and deleting a hero, but we’ll leave that for you to implement."

I'd rather not... Can't a library set those up for me?

Maybe it's a systemic problem and they neglected quality control after previous successes. A classic example of why you should never neglect quality control. The alternative costs more by orders of magnitude.
It is, but mainly for sequence diagrams, flow charts and state diagrams. I think OP is asking more about object/class diagrams which I've never seen much value in.

ApEx (Application Express) is an Oracle product, more like a visual RAD tool for the web. Did Salesforce really call their scripting language the same thing??
The massive increase in the number of choices the encoder has to make (and correspondingly, the decoder to follow) is the main reason why H.265 requires so much more processing power than H.264, and H.264 compared to previous standards as well. The intra prediction modes (33 directions!) are a good example of this.

That said, if you actually get the standard and look at the section on the intra prediction modes, how to compute them is spelled out in very detailed pseudocode.

a car can easily kill someone. As can millions of other things. It's ridiculous to suggest that that automatically makes their existence scary.

Is the existence of injectable insulin scary just because someone could kill someone just by injecting them with it?
Every single trade agreement has something like ISDS and the entire purpose of these courts is to make sure people follow the agreement as it was written. It's not like you will be invaded if you break the rules of the agreement and ISDS rules against you, you will simply be kicked out if you don't follow the rules. Why do morons spread fear about this shit?
How is it apt and descriptive, and also not blatently wrong and misleading, if the name explicitly suggests that servers are executing code "without a server"?
This is one thing that I think would be fascinating when (if) we get to a competitive AI in this arena.

Do we eventually see the hypothetical human (or AI!) opponent trying to metagame against the way an AI system interacts with the game? E.g. human-pointless feints in an attempt to pollute AI logic?

Under the premise that a competitive AI will reason and act differently than a competitive human (due to aforementioned difference in speed/memory vs abstract thinking resources).

Slightly off topic:

Is it possible to create technology that can suck out the CO2 from the atmosphere? If so, what would the back of the envelope costs for this be like?

If this is a viable option, why continuously try to have these large scale agreements instead of building and selling technology to counter the CO2 emissions?

Try not to move the goalposts. If someone compromises, acknowledge that and thank them for it, rather than saying "I am glad you finally saw the light, but now we need to take it a step further".

Brinkmanship rarely serves to get anything done, and burns bridges when it does actually accomplish something.

ropiku: Simply because you have a CS degree doesn't mean you're qualified enough to be hired.

pvaldes: here you are the results of my 100 exams, that I passed sucessfully. In an officially certified document, easy to authenticate.

me: If I could prove to you that I was awarded a CS degree from a UK university, would that be sufficient for you to agree to employ me?

pvaldes: If your scores were high, probably yes.

So it seems that you and ropiku _agree_ that a CS degree _isn't_ enough.

Where you differ is that you want to see scores above some threshold (although I can't imagine how you'd standardise those across 100+ UK universities), and ropiku wants to see someone write some Java code. Both seem reasonable approaches, but the latter seems a little easier and more reliable.
Thanks for the article. I am sorry to hear what happened to your project, but I think, in my case because I didn't build this from scratch, but it was extracted out from an existing app, I was able to get this to a point where I'm very satisfied with the result.

My goal was to make something that will help myself build, iterate, extend my existing app much faster, and it really did, so that's when I realized it would be great if I can open this up so others can use it as well.

To be more specific, nowadays I can build, iterate, and extend apps significantly faster, as in what used to take couple of days I can now build in 30 minutes. Maybe it's just me but I'm sure if I can do it, anyone can do it.
Nice and constructive advice. I agree. I think what the author is looking for definitely still exists and probably is in arms reach but sometimes we feel overwhelmed and like the well has been poisoned because the barrage of meaningless shite that gets pumped through the Internet and down our throats eclipses everything else.

There is so much incredible and wonderful tech out there to sink our teeth into you just need to find an efficient way of wading through the shit storm of social media and the millions of boring startups pumping promotional PR for the next never seen before food delivery app.

> some new system will allow "the common man" to write his own software without developers

"The common man" often seems to think that mastering the syntax of a programming language is the hard bit, and that replacing textual syntax with some pretty graphics will magically make software easy to build.

Of course, the real challenge is accurately specifying what you're trying to accomplish, and exactly how you want it to happen. Everything else is just window-dressing.
Errr, as a member of the middle class rapidly becoming "upper middle class" during that exact period, I don't think I have much visibility into this.

I have the strong impression that white goods like your three or four basic appliances, fridge, washer, dryer and maybe freezer, were major things, and that purchases were made with care and perception of reliability key (how Sears' Kenmore brand did so well, but there was of course the reality of reliability plus good service behind their stuff as well), but then again my parents were from the Silent Generation, who's formative years were in the privations of the Great Depression and WWII. And finishing on impressions, a freezer might be considered something of a luxury (but also a money saver, especially for a big family), but not the washer and dryer.

One approach would be to get statistics on laundromats in suitable areas (i.e. don't including college towns), how have their numbers and capacities changed, if by very much at all? Also correct for family size and sex ratios, my 2 brothers plus one sister and I certainly created more dirty laundry than a smaller or more female family.
Not that it really matters, but "wherefore" means "why", not "where". Juliet wasn't wondering where Romeo was, she was lamenting that he was born a Montague.
If you consider where CETA started and where it ended, the transparent tribunal solved the initial complaints same as with the restrictions on when you can sue. That now the new tribunals are also not good enough is a moved goalpost.
The $43K number comes out of the revelation in court documents that her contract with RS was $300K for 2 years, for 7 stories: http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/21/rolling-stone-paid-reporte...

That's a good salary that most journalists would dream to reach, but keep in mind a few things:

1. It's still freelance work, which means that she's not getting paid health benefits.

2. She's been writing at least 20 years now and she, up to that point, was highly decorated.

3. She's based in New York.

4. Those stories are meant to have huge impact and seen by millions. The UVA story, if she hadn't botched it, would have the potential to cause systemic change.

As a point of comparison, I did a lookup for "writer" in California public salaries:

http://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?q=writer

Top writing jobs (mostly technical) are reaping $110K+ before benefits:

http://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?q=Epic%20R...

Moreover, they can retire at age 55 with a pension that puts them well above middle class:

As another point of comparison, the executive editor of the NYTimes starts at around $500K: http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/05/report-abramson-...

That's a ton of money for journalism. But you'd laugh if you heard that that's what the CEOs of Google or Microsoft made.

Republic and democracy are not mutually exclusive... I think you are confused if you think they are. According to Wikipedia, "It is a constitutional republic and representative democracy."

Perhaps it's less of a democracy then we think it is, but it's not wrong to call the US a democracy.

On the contrary, I've been following their development from the beginning, with some interest.

Actually D-Bus multiplexes all messages, so they all pass through the message bus daemon. What I'm proposing is clearly different.

This is a valid technical point, though I'm not sure it's ever been a problem in practice and I'm not convinced it needed a whole new IPC mechanism to solve.

Fuzzy.ai – Easy AI-Powered Decision Making via API
My pet theory: the digital world is just real enough for us to inhabit without feeling alone, while removing a few crucially difficult elements of in-person interaction. Because we can't escape the reality of being social animals, we gravitate toward the easier social world - the digital one, and thus we end up checked out of the physical world way too much.

I've been disturbed, above all, by the following dynamics that are missing from the digital world:

Social awkwardness is alleviated by asynchronicity, there's no such thing as awkward silence online, and you can carefully craft everything you put out there.

One can avoid various flavors of vulnerability and ennui. Hiding your face from others means no one can see your exhaustion, dissatisfaction, denial, boredom, etc. - and because you see yourself more clearly when reflected through the eyes of others, a lack of that reflection makes self-deception that much easier. And on the flip side, avoiding seeing these things on the faces of others allows us to escape the difficulty and obligation that empathy imposes on us.

This would all be great if we didn't need these and other hardships of the analog world to truly flourish, but we do. So existence in the digital-social world becomes akin to slow carbon monoxide poisoning. It fools your system just enough that you don't realise that you're actually suffocating - the ill effects pile up while the alarm systems (loneliness, need for intimacy) stay mum.

I need to adopt this. My phone is a source of anxiety and I have no idea why. When my phone rings I literally get a pang of angst, like "oh shit what now". Maybe there is some other underlying issue, but I also hardly answer the phone. I absolutely do not have voice mail, and I have been considering making a messaging app that only notifies you of new messages on the hour each hour or some custom setting.

Perhaps a more customizable phone where only approved numbers can call and the rest are forced to a message saying something like "your number is not approved for this action, please leave an SMS and the person will get back to you when appropriate." I would love that.
