We have the GH organization created. Its all private for the moment.

Basically we have never forked a software like this before. We are going over the license and trying to make sure all our i's are dotted and our t's are crossed so we do not end up in a lawsuit.

The project will totally be open source, it will be under the same license that the code is currently under OSL 3.0.

We aren't trying to bait and switch I promise. This is something we have been talking about for a couple of months, but we decided on this week. So when we open the repo to the public to help with we just want to be in a position we can defend if it happens to go to court. Nothing kills a good idea faster than an opening day lawsuit.

We would love it if you guys helped. We need it.

Blocking outgoing traffic is generally a mistake. It prevents the device from retrieving updates, assuming there are any. And if there are no updates then there had better also be no undiscovered or unpatched vulnerabilities, which isn't likely.
It's a shame feel like I need to. There's no world where high-speed interconnects are as cheap as ethernet, nor is there a world where it is appropriate to replace them with ethernet. Congratulations on your successes but they're not really relevant to the accuracy of your post.

hmm.. i wont say I'm not disappointed. i thought you guys were going to rewrite a lot of the core because everything is broken anyway.

since 1.7 is already breaking backward compatibility.. maybe it was an opportunity to do it right.

Friendly advice, it would help to work on communicating more clearly and succinctly. I've read your comment twice and am still having trouble discerning a question.

All the best.
Have you ever worked with Magento? With 1.8+ I found customisation very tedious and unpleasant, documentation virtually non-existent, 3rd party code unreliable, and CMS functionality lacking. Perhaps it's come a long way since then but I wouldn't bet on it.
It's sad that RTS (Real Time Strategy) games are more or less dead for more than a decade.

I still play 10-20 year old RTS games like Age of Empire series, Age of Mythology, Empire Earth, C&C Generals from time to time. Especially playing skirmish mode against hard AI on random maps is really great.

Several spun off genres like Tower Defence, MoBa sprung off as Mods from Age of Empires series and WarCraft 3. Since 2009 also the Facebook games like Farmville, et al and Free2Play casual games implemented kind of RTS mechanics.

On consoles various unsuccessful RTS games like C&C 4, Halo Wars 1 and some failed Free2Play efforts like C&C Generals 2 meant basically the end to Triple-A RTS games as we knew them. The RTS genre was the best selling Triple-A genre on PC, even stronger than shooter and RPG, back in the late 1990s after all.

Now that all old genres like adventures or RPG (except RTS) got a successful revival, it would be great to get new Triple-A RTS games for PC.
Seems pretty silly to need openGL 4+ to run a terminal lol.

My notebook (Medion Erazer) was produced 3 or 4 years ago. Currently it has i7 CPU, 20GB of DDR3, but it's not capable to handle basic TERMINAL EMULATOR. It's time to upgrade.

I suspect a covert agreement between hardware vendors and vendors of terminal emulators.
Possible crapola. I have a ton of modern Craftsman tools in addition to some heirloom Craftsman (wooden-handle screwdrivers), Snap-on, Mac and others. Let's hope Stanley B&D (ticker: SWK) honors Craftsman commitments as a "premium" brand.

You might be thinking of Lesser GPL? It should be immediately obvious why any Bigco would treat the AGPL like an exploding canister of infected blood and sharps.

The AGPL treats web publishing as the same as binary distribution. If a bigco (e.g. Google) used AGPL code as part of a web service (e.g a web-based email client) there is a risk that they'd be required to comply with requests for source code. It's a pretty scary license. I wouldn't touch it... and I run a teeny tiny little speck of a website by comparison.

Cloud Industry Preview 2017: The Future of the Cloud Computing Business
The UI is the problem. Controllers or touch screens are just not precise and/or fast enough. I could see VR bringing back RTS however, simply because top down view on a map is much easier to implement than first person. It's like the old graphics constraints (which also made RTS popular because it was far more believable than FPS for a while) applied to a new input dimension (movement).

Personally I hope for a return of the RTS Battlezone which combined both. My favorite game still.
See, I'm with you in the primary portion of this statement- if we're in a simulation, it doesn't make us any less 'real' - it doesn't matter whether I'm made of atoms or the stray thoughts of a passing horsefly. It is nevertheless important and interesting to know what the underlying medium in which I exist is, especially because there's no especially compelling reason why many kinds of simulated being could not create effects outside of their simulating media, like a bit of malware breaking out of a sandboxes virtual machine.

Knowing what kind of simulation we're taking part in, assuming such knowledge is possible and processable in the simulated world, that's incredibly important and interesting knowledge! :)

From previous comments by PG and others I think the gist of it is that college is a great place to work on interesting projects and meet potential co-founders (other students).

Startups tend to be all consuming, so it's hard to say that another full-time commitment like school could be an advantage. Unless you have a business that is taking off like a rocket ship, I would wait til after graduation.
The difficulty is in defining "change" and "transition" without using the concept of time. The circularity is difficult to avoid. This is the classic paper that started it all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unreality_of_Time
I do not understand your comment as I almost never plug my iPhone into my laptop for charging: I plug my iPhone into my laptop as USB is a much faster and more stable transfer conduit than bluetooth (for tethering) and is essentially required for doing most development work.
Often as a developer, you might work on some experimental projects that may not pan out. That's why you try them. They may work for 80% of the use cases but not for the rest and thus aren't workable from a product standpoint. The sales guys however, may see the "working" project and go out and sell it without asking if it's a product.

Example:

You get a self parking car demo working.

Sales guy sells self driving car based on your parking demo.
100% of mortgage interest on personally-owned rental properties is deductible.

Mortgage interest is itemized just like any other cost incurred, e.g. maintenance, utilities, advertising, property taxes, etc.

The net profit/loss on the Schedule is then applied to your personal return. You might be limited in the size of loss you can apply, but that's an unrelated calculation.
This is the same confident, facile declaration by may technologists who blather on about how we are on the cusp (a decade or two away) of being able to "download" the state of a person's brain and so let them live forever, in a virtual simulation.

Such people are entirely ignorant of biology. The analogy to programming, the thing they do know something about, is and irresistible analogy because they don't know enough to see the massive flaws in the analogy.

To be more concrete, by using the computerese term of art "hack" you are begging the question.

This analysis assumes that if I take measurements using Wikipedia regarding celebrities who died in 2005 now the results would be the same as if I had taken those same measurements in 2005. This is obviously not true. I would argue that the most recent year will always appear to have more deaths than normal using this analysis because more attention is paid to celebrities immediately following their death.

The simple fact that this analysis results in such extremely wild numbers for the chance of 2016's celebrity deaths occurring, shows that is probably flawed.
The problem is that "outside of the company" can be murky. What if the company outsources? What if the company hires contractors? What if the company employs an intern - does the intern now have the right to distribute the software?

These are the legal landmines that BigCos want to avoid, mainly because they're questions that have not really been decided.

I'm not sure it it completely applies but here it is anyway. I wasn't working software development but as a evangelist at my last job and as a software engineer before that. 1.5 years ago I decided I wanted to change career paths and get into energy and renewables. I had two options in front of me, either go back to school or jump head on in. I quit my job at MSFT and moved to Rwanda, to join a small off grid solar energy company. I woke up everyday driving out to rural health centers and building things that actually changed peoples lives. I had to pinch myself almost monthly to let alone believe this was a job and I was getting paid to do it. In the end I got back into writing code but learned so much more while doing ii. So from my experience, I would highly recommend it. Just zero in on something you find super interesting.

Where I'm at we hired a person with only bootcamp development experience and so far they have worked out great. They also linked us to their bootcamp work on github. With that said we mostly hired said person because we thought they were extremely intelligent. They were pursuing a PHD and just found that they were not interested in their field after their first job so they made the jump to something they thought they would enjoy more. With that said I think bootcamp alone on a resume is not going to get you in the door at a good development shop. You have to bolster that experience with something else. Anyway I agree if you don't have something on your resume that would be attributed to someone with an above average intelligence definitely say you are self taught over placing the bootcamp you just went to on your resume. It stands out more for companies who weight intelligence highly.

Good point. Are households with someone named Alexa completely unable to use this product?
Currently that is not supported, but I am planning to add it soon.
A simplified version of the roadmap is this. We are going to fix bugs and stabilize the platform where people can sell without having daily bug fixes.

After that we are going to pool our knowledge, resources, and community to figure out the path forward. I will be totally honest with you, I am half developer half CSR person. I hear what my clients want and I try to make it happen. I am not the only person in on this though. I am one of many and very flexible. We are going to do a rewrite after we have stabilized things and we are going to do it right. We are going to look at the options out there and figure out where to go.

At this point it looks like I am leading things. I am the reluctant leader. I am the guy that realizes that my ideas might not be the best ideas and I want to hear yours. I just feel in the beginning it is about stabilizing what is there. I think if we spent 6 months rewriting everything we would lose an important window.

Tonight I am actually setting up the feature voting for our site. This is how I think things with a community need to be handled. There are going to be nay-sayers that stifle things because they are new and unfamiliar. This is always going to happen. But if we are transparent and add features by simple voting then no one can really argue with the logic. I have my ideas, but I am not the arbitrator of what will be included. I really want this to be a community project. I want the merchants and the developers to speak what they want and I want to make something that reflects the ideas of both.
Oh wow, it's the guy behind calibre! Cool!

Plz plz plz make a windows build. I use cygwin for so much, and a more performant terminal option would be amazing.
I'd be a fan of maybe reorganizing the options, but the flexibility of the software is the reason that I use it over other players.

I like the idea of a cleaner interface, but if the choice turns out to be between a cleaner interface and the number of options in the software, I'll stick with the version with the ugly UI until it stops working.

And that's really what I'm afraid of. Most things that get labeled "modern and clean" are programs that I think of as "insufficient and featureless", and they're the ones that I abandon. I don't want to abandon VLC; it's been my good friend for 10 or 11 years, at this point.

It is part of an excellent PBS documentary by Brian Greene - the Fabric of Cosmos. It discusses Newtonian View, Relativity revolution, etc. Though it doesn't go to the depth of quantum cosmology levels as in the parent post.
"Integration into your products" is too narrow. For example, AGPL may mean that contractors who use company internal web services must be given access to the source code of those services. That's a frightening prospect for companies.
If you point out to them reviews you've written (some of them mentioning their LEDs favorably) you'll get the engineering sample no problem, I imagine. They like people that promote their products and bend over backwards to get them tiny things that cost them far less than what they're going to get in potential advertising.
No, there are two other name options available: Amazon and Echo. Echo is my preferred one, since it's two syllables.

I meant use more in "install and use, maybe fix a few bugs", which is what I'd primarily expect for a terminal emulator. It's not the kind of software you're likely going to specially interface with your systems, unless you ship it with your own OS.
> I actually understand key concepts like hoisting, this, and prototypical inheritance that a lot of people don't understand about JS.

While I won't dispute that most people don't understand these, there are actually very good online resources covering them, e.g. Javascript Allonge and the blog posts that raganwald links to within the book.
I'd never considered that a shortcoming before, and it is just a single option to change if you don't like the behavior.

It's got many of the classic text files and zines from my BBS days. Tons of nostalgia.
thank you for clarifying that.

However, I think after reading the comments below that the scope of the project is to maintain backward compatibility with the agencies/authors of plugins in the Prestashop ecosystem.

What we were looking for is something that was trying to do new in the webshop ecosystem. Even I misjudged your "lack of MVC" comment below. My perception was that you were bringing together a lot of people from the Prestashop community and building something new with modern day best practices.

Using an ORM is the smallest of them. MVC is another. asset pipeline could have been a third.

But if you attempt any of this.. you will risk breaking backwards compatibility with any number of plugins out there. Which is why I'm doubtful you will try to do anything new. The way I see it is that you will maintain a bugfixed release of Prestashop 1.6 with incremental changes to support the plugin ecosystem out there.

Personally, I think you are aiming too low. You want to make something better than Prestashop 1.7 which is why your holy grail is to maintain backward compatibility and fix some plugins (like the Paypal one you talk about).
But from what I have seen, your real competition is the Shopify of the world. Even Magento 2. Not sure if you have seen the docs, but Magento 2 has started adopting best practices out there:

2. database migrations - http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/install/c...

"watt is a poor measurement for measuering the quantity of visible light"

Actually, it's a great measurement if you only work with the monochromatic ones. Knowing the LEDs efficiency at bin testing conditions will tell you what to expect - E.G. high-bin 3w 460n LED with 50% efficiency at 3w drive and typical operating temperatures (~70C junction temperature) means you can expect 1.5W of light. We toss in Avogadro's constant and a couple other formulas, do some multiplication, and suddenly we know roughly how many photons are being put out.

This gets harder with white LEDs as one must figure out the relative percentage of each wavelength comprising the light, basically forcing you to do the math a few hundred times over, but it's still rather reliable. I just do rough calculations in my head for White LEDs.
Seems like a lot of the problem with "time" is semantic. Do things change? Yes, and if that's the definition then it certainly exists.

But people don't generally see time like that, they think of it as some medium, or 4th dimension, that can possibly be traveled through. This kind of time does not exist (as much as anything can't exist). There are only particles and their positions. Traveling back in time would require moving every particle in the universe back to the state you want to experience. But this is not "traditional" time travel, just god-like influence over particles. Traveling back in time, in how people fantasize about it, would require copies of the universe being made every plank-time, that you can visit. And even that is just another 3d space that happens to look like one you saw before.

Time is chemical and physical reactions. The minimum amount of time (sorry) a reaction can take to happen is possibly plank-time. Nothing can "happen" faster than plank time. So time is possibly granular. If reactions stopped happening, time would stop.

That's one set of views.
These devices should be using multiple microphones so that they can tell where sounds are coming from, and during setup they should be shown the location of the TV and exclude any commands coming from there.
You are correct that activating both networks at the same time is hard, but what you have is a device which is traveling between untrusted and trusted networks. Assuming a compromised device anything is possible.
Argh! You’ve hijacked the Space key (which is supposed to be for scrolling) to open your weird, well-hidden navigation!

… admittedly, I wouldn’t have even found the navigation if I hadn’t pressed Space.
They do use multiple microphones and know where you are. (They don't let you tell it where a TV is though. )

> functional use requires cloning

If you're suggesting that functional updates require the entire collection to be copied, that's not correct. Only a small amount of data (oproportional to the logarithm of the size of the collection) has to be copied on each update. The result is that functional collections are quite practical for most uses. They have stylistic benefits as well.
I somehow missed previous submissions from this blog, but I've now favorited some of them and subscribed to its feed.

In particular, http://vicsydev.blogspot.com/2017/01/on-tests.html resonates very much with my approach to organizing programs:
