I think he needs some time to improve it. More explanations here:

> lower memory usage, high throughput [...] high performance GC

Irrelevant, as most ressources will be consummed from underlying OS API.

> std ssl/tls/http libraries

So does Python and Ruby. But even if it didn't, you provide a package anyway.

> produce fully static binaries

You can do that with Python and nuikta. But there is need for it, since docker is provided as an msi/deb/whatever that take care of distribution.

> high memory usage.

On your xGb RAM server, the memory usage of your container is the least of your problem. Your DB will dwarf it, your app will dwarf it. Anything you put in your containers will take 100 times more memory.
In my uni, I strongly forbid use of any proprietary apps, as much as possible. Please forgive me, I do agree software devs needs to eat ... etc. but let me explain.
We all moved to macs in the last 5 years, which means when I upgrade from mountain lion to Mavericks to sierra, we need to get a BUY Endnote. Every second major version of OSX needs and new EndNote. Even with academic license, it costs, about EUR 600 for every device. 1 Prof, 2 Staff scientists, 4 postdocs, 6 PhDs (charged a bit lower EUR 200 per year). You calculate. There are universities where Endnote is cheaper but subsidized by the bulk-contracts.

Oh yes, we do use MS-office. Atleast MS does not force us to buy new MS-Office for every OS upgrade. Also remember, that grants pay mainly for equipment and rarely any/expensive software.

As other posters indicated, mailing-lists + proper filtering is the optimal.

It's a much stronger signal than 5 threads with zero upvotes!
The City of Portland is footing the bill for most of the roads you drive on, while missing out on essentially the only revenue they could receive from you, whether it be funding Tri-Met or paying for the other costs of running the city. Most of your waking hours are spent under their protection for police, fire & EMS, yet at most they are getting nominal taxes from your employer.

Wilsonville, OR pulls a similar scheme wherby they have a large taxable commercial base, but since they have very few residents they need to provide little school or medical funding, thus making the tax burden on businesses there minimal. City Of Industry, CA does the same thing but to an even larger degree, and Intel Oregon liked to use this exact strategy to minimize their tax burden.

When it comes to utilities, the cost to serve a house in Oregon City with Gas, Electricity, Internet, etc both for maintenance and installation is significantly higher. Where I could pull fiber to a 50 unit MDU in tens of hours and get a 40% uptake rate, suburbs and exurbs (which Oregon City is a mix of) would take me a few hundred hours to connect 50 homes, just due to the sheer quantity of extra wiring needed. Then you get into the uptake rate, and you are looking somewhere like 20% to 25% with a massively higher maintenance burden (somewhere on the order of 2x to 3x). This is why 3rd party ISPs and WISPs focus on apartments and condos, and why Centurylink covered Portland with fiber, but won't cover suburbs like Kent, WA with fiber. The ROI is bad, and doesn't make sense.
In think the concern is more that if you encounter a bit-flip checksumming a block on write, then ZFS will mark the data corrupt on read; and thus, make good data unreadable.

A non-checksumming FS would not be vulnerable to this particular issue. On the other hand, would undetected corruption through bit rot be a worse problem? Almost certainly.

And considering how vanishingly unlikely such a scenario is, I do agree with your sentiment.

That said, I'm not sure if my understanding of the issue is complete and would welcome an explanation of the failure scenarios that [very] occasional RAM bit-flips expose ZFS to.

Why don't oracle just relicense it?
actually, you can still inspect the code for the "compiled product" you download from the store- your chrome path contains a directory containing all extensions, finding them is a little bit hard, because they use their keys as foldernames but you can actually still inspect the source

> Edit: And open-sourcing makes a huge assumption that your investors (who own the rights to a chunk of this stuff) even agree that you can just give away what they invested in.

Interesting point. Is it really accurate? I mean, if investors to a company literally have partial ownership of the company's IP, does it also mean that the company cannot decide to open-source part of its code (i.e., license away part of the company's IP rights), or license code to a third party, without the approval of its investors?

(Not a rhetorical question, but a legitimate question.)

Congratulations on the win. What was the most difficult thing about breaking into politics? Did you have a career beforehand? Thank you for your time and service.
It's in our office block (aperia, well north of the cdb). Not sure what it's called, but makes lunch a breeze and means I'll usually go there rather than grabbing a sandwich from Spinellis coffee shop
If anyone from Nature/influential is reading, you cant even close your Nature.com account. I tried closing my 10 year old account, they replied that according to terms and conditions I _had_ agreed while opening the account, it will stay forever.
Works nicely. However note that you should explain CTRL on Windows, not CMD button to select. Also might want to make the highlighted tabs a bit higher contrast when CTRL-clicking as I didn't really notice at first. For usability maybe make them swap to inverse color or something more bold to convey selection.
Yeah I'm talking about react native. I'm on mobile at the moment but look up "re-natal", it's built on top of react native with re-frame, it's superb.

I very nearly did this a couple of years ago, but chickened out after the registrar I picked displayed a blank screen when I tried it.
Apple has lost the functional high ground
Shareholders own the assets at the time the company is wound-up, those assets include the code and IP.

It may be that as a founder and at an early stage, that you own the majority of those assets but you are still exposing yourself to a bit of a legal nightmare if you assume that majority ownership gives you the right to dispose of it as you see fit. If any investor could argue that you can sell the IP for any price that would offer them a return, it's going to be risky.

In my case, my seed investors were users of the software we created. They wanted the software to be available and so it was all fairly easy, but I was well aware that there was a huge risk there. I probably would not have opened anything if they had said no.
mafia is free as well... you could not use their "service" but suddenly you realize you can't, because you're cut out (depending on where you live in Italy this could be literally true, you're just cut into pieces) if you don't.
Thanks Mike!
So, seems like it increases both disk and cpu use after some time. If the user just read the article and go out I don't think that they saw it occurring.

And thank you for the article. Simple, well written and right on point. Keep it going ;)
You probably wouldn't ever want to not optimize, but the point is that, by being explicit, you know what parts are and which are not.

If you think about it, you can't really do the opposite, because it is not possible to TCO every recursive calls.
IRC has the serious downside that it doesn't allow multi-line comments.

Zephyr is fine but still takes a lot longer to learn how to use, especially if you want to set up a screen session as most people who still use it in my social circle do.
2016 or 12 months of writing, speaking and hacking
I've recently moved from Scotland to Finland, and I agree with your post 100%. Immersion is what made me learn more than anything else - just being able to pronounce the difference between "o" and "ö" was hard at first, but with more exposure it became natural.

I'd also suggest learning sets of words, as you say the most common. I started with days of the week, months of the year, numbers up to 20, and similar.

Though I'd probably suggest having lessons, be they official at a college/university/academic location, or low-key chats with locals over coffee/beer/cake is a good thing to do. I had a lot of questions about grammar and how to chain words that were easily resolved with chat.
I am being curious here. Do anyone really print out the code so that the comprehension really increases? I can imagine all the benefits, but can someone give any first hand experience were this has actually helped them?

Also, how better is it than the code map on Sublime Text or syntax colouring we have anyway?
Open sourcing is a burden.

Even just throwing it out there with things stripped and it not working is not an end.

Then come the emails asking how to get it working, why certain things are as they are.

Most founders and creators care, so these emails are hard to ignore, and you want it be a success (otherwise you wouldn't have worked on it or then opened it) and so now you're shackled to having to document piecemeal, to many individuals, most of whom are not serious about doing anything as they are just kicking tyres.

Most interested parties in open-source projects are companies that could have been customers but didn't want to pay, and now it's free they want it without paying, and also won't invest in the time to get it working.

It's a huge burden to open source a whole project rather than just a library.

And as the OP said:

> If there isn't enough interest at the start, it's just prolonging the pain of failure. It's better to rip the bandage off and move forward with your life.
Portainer, a UI for Docker
I agree with this sentiment, Crystal, for the better, lacks Go's obsession with odd tooling conventions (see vendoring saga) while retaining the ease of use when it comes to actual programming and cross compilation capability.
probably just my having soaked in the conventional wisdom, looked around quickly found the following http://www.umsl.edu/~sauterv/analysis/6840_f03_papers/frese/

quotes:

At companies that aren’t among the top 25% of technology users, three out of 10 IT projects fail on average.

AND

On average, about 70% of all IT-related projects fail to meet their objectives.” In this case Lewis includes not only projects that were abandoned (failed), but also those that were defectively completed due to cost overruns, time overruns, or did not provide all of the functionality that was originally promised.

The difference between failure in the two quotes is that the first one seems to consider failure as just abandoned completely as being unachievable. Whereas the second also considers failure as not having achieved all goals.

It seems to me that if the project is big and central enough to a company's processes that it might be worth betting against the survival of that company.
It uses browserify instead of webpack; it produces a bundle that doesn't contain the written content of all pages in the site (these are kept separately in super small JS files loaded at navigation time); it is simple to understand, no dark magic (the site is generated from a shell script, as you can see); doesn't need fancy configuration, config files, webpack loaders, mandated CSS preprocessing and postprocessing.
Is the U.S. Economy Entering a “Goldilocks” Zone?
It blows my mind that you think the world could change that much in 10 years. I'd estimate the things you describe as happening maybe by 2100, if they're going to happen at all.
These are good proxies for parental involvement with school, but as Mark Twain famously suggested, school != education.

You'd be less screwed than you would have been 100 years ago in that situation, for sure.
I like the idea and I've installed the add-on, but at the moment the notary servers are too unreliable. The default list of notary servers fail quorum as most don't seem to respond/be up to date. I've seen other lists of servers (e.g. in the comments on the Firefox add-on page) but again, the servers listed there aren't consistently responsive.

It does occur to me that I could be being Man-In-The-Middle'd but I don't think so (well I would, wouldn't
I ;)

I'm currently using this list instead of the default list:

cows are even more stupid than you think. Your view probably comes from interacting with them as a child, being not very smart yourself. I've grown up in the italian country farming animals and I've seen cows stupidity literally kill them.
Giving information directly to facebook is one thing. The article is about FB gathering info not directly given to them.

Imagine the government put a policeman on every corner and they recorded the movements of every person in the neighborhood at all times. 4:36pm Mr. Jones walked to newsstand, 4:43pm Mrs Jones opens front door, looks around, closes front door. 4:45pm Mr. Smith dog starts barking. 4:51pm Unknown man shows up at Mr. and Mrs Miller's house. Mr Miller is not home. She invites him in. 5:01pm Mrs Wayne tends to her tomato garden.

Many (most?) people would feel creeped out to know they are being constantly watched and all activities logged. And yet Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook and a bunch of others are trying to do exactly that through your computer, your online activity and through your phone and eventually they'll probably also do it with cameras and mics
Postal had a very early linux port, I remember playing in the early 2000s. I think it was one of the games ported by Loki Software before they went bankrupt (ahead of their time I guess).

I remember I had some problems with sound in it because of the in-kernel sound driver for my laptop's sound chip didn't deal well with mmap()ed access, which the game required. I used the proprietary OSS audio stack which had a driver that didn't have that problem. Of course it was only an evaluation version and would shut off the sound after some minutes of play.

Kind of glad these things are rarely an issue on the linux desktop anymore :)

Zuck is right (and before Gates in 1995 "The Road Ahead" book). We need a common API, so that AI agents can interact with various types of hardware (home automation, IoT) as well as other AI agents over the internet.

I propose we should use JSON rest based simple API with simple english words. To agree on things, AI agents should be able to bid against each other, like in auctions.

In Bill 1995 vision, every interaction costs (micro payment). We all learned how the free internet with WWW sponsored by advertisement et al won over his pay-as-you-go The Microsoft Network as found in Win95. But how will advertisement work with agents? How will big search engine providers get payed in an mainly AI environment. This has to be solved. Also Zuck and Bill wanted to have their own locally installed agent on their own hardware, something that has charm but is contrary to 2010s trend of software-as-service/cloud. But I can imagine that in a few years, our personslized AI agents surf the internet and interact with other agents, and we less and less visit websites or apps ourself, but directly interact with our agent.

Eh, utilities aren't the main showstopper, zoning is. So much land in cities is zoned for 2 to 3 story single family detached homes, and upzoning it after homes are built on that land is hard to do, and its even harder to find a block that is all willing to sell to one developer. Hence why the edges of gullies and ravines become where high density buildings are built, since low density housing is very hard to uproot.

What this causes is more low density urban infill, which is much more destructive. Where one older home was before, 2 cheap as chips 3000sqft concreteboard boxes will be built as cheaply and quickly as possible. Builder errors like forgetting to put eaves on the house will be fixed by nailing an overhang on afterwards, only to leak 4 or 5 years down the line.

If high density development was easier in urban cores, there would be much less incentive to build shoddy detached housing. As it stands there is a ton of pent up demand, and tons of zoning to block development.
I use to look around in a naive way and take my conclusions:

- Grandfather, 89, ate everything moderately during his life, mostly organic. He evites fat and bread and walks every day. Low energy person.

- Grandmother, passed at 82, cancer. Same diet as my grandfather. Much less exercise though.

- Grandmother, 92, ate a lot until 50's, mostly organic, obese. Since then barely eats, mostly vegetables and yogurt. Right weight and good health. No exercise.

- Grandfather, passed at 71. Ate more fat than anyone I know. Death by heart attack or stroke. Very energetic person with a lot of exercise.

Can you see a pattern? I can't.
This probably also explains factories in the middle of the US closing, since they do not have easy transport links in and out of the country. They would have been built there in the past because of easy transport links within the country.
Producing lamb in NZ is a veryow intensity operation. Usually lambs are just out on a hill and left there for a few months before slaughter. There's also drenching and other stuff, but the actual land they're in isn't irrigated or worked at all.

Not so much these days, but it used to be fairly common to just run sheep up a mountain valley and then twice a year muster them down the valley (often with only horses and dogs) for shearing and slaughter. Any sheep that fall ill would either recover or die.

That's still the case usually, a lamb is worth a lot less than the vet costs.

If I'm already using, say, OCaml, why would I want to switch to Crystal? (assuming that multicore takes the same amount of time to arrive in each). Whenever I've read about Crystal it sounds like a broadly sensible language, but it doesn't sound like it brings anything new to the table - in which case I'll favour the more mature language with the bigger library/tool ecosystem.

I have done, for code that fits on 2-8 pages (basically a demonstration program). I used vim's ":hardcopy", so the printed code was already syntax-highlighted in the way I was used to.

They sell Chinese pickup trucks here in New Zealand under the brand "Great Wall".
