I have completely given up on DefinitelyTyped/Typings/@types. The odds that any non-trivial type definitions are complete, up-to-date, and correct seems to be incredibly slim -- and god help you if you're stuck on a very specific version of an NPM library. I had high hopes with @types but all I have to show for it is an increasingly large file containing modules declared as "any".

Next time I'll go with Flow. Generally the only thing I REALLY need to be typed are the domain-specific models, and so I'd rather be as close to idiomatic JS/babel as possible.
> not lossing weight at all and at the same time they have some autoimmune condition.

That means that they're retaining water. That does not mean that they're accumulating fat stores, which is thermodynamically impossible.
Just going by what several specialists (e.g. patent agents, ex examiners) have told me independently. It does match my experience in office actions with many different examiners, for whatever that's worth.
My understanding:

Major artists and promoters have contracts stating they'll exclusively use LiveNation venues if the metro area has one.

Major venues have contracts stating that they'll exclusively sell tickets their LiveNation.

There's no tech problem at all. It's an issue that ticket related startups can't get major artists, promoters, or venues on board. It's a network effect.

I think the usability of spatial controllers is pretty tightly linked to use of a VR viewer, since it's the HMD that constructs the "space" for the controllers to work in. I don't think Tilt Brush would translate well to a regular monitor with spatial controllers. I can see some potential with 3D displays, but I think if spatial control enough was a paradigm shift then the motion controllers we've seen in gaming applications previously would have translated to professional applications the way VR is now.

VR gamers using traditional dual-analog style controllers aren't leveraging the full spatial immersion of VR, so they don't report a spatially immersive experience. When I describe "VR as HCI" I mean everything involved in immersing someone in an altered reality, and the HMD is only part of that. I think it's more apt to say "XR is a new form of HCI," to include tech like the Hololens, but that terminology hasn't really entered the common lexicon yet.

VR and XR as a whole give unprecedented access to the primary I/O pathway of the human: our eyes and our hands.
At least in the cases of C# and Java, classes and interfaces recapitulate a weak form of ML-style functional programming rather an impoverished version of Smalltalk-style object-oriented programming: “Inheritance” from a class corresponds to logical disjunction (and hence is equivalent to a sum type) and “implementation” of an interfaces corresponds to logical conjunction (and hence corresponds to product types). The visitor pattern is a verbose form of pattern matching.

You can recover the strong form of ML-style FP (albeit without the nice type inference) if you limit inheritance to abstract classes (thus, all classes are sealed/final or abstract), mark all fields as readonly/final, and use interfaces for destructuring (which addresses problems 1,2 and 3 under the “Alternatives” section).

As an aside, one of the big issues with “classical” OOP is that it enjoins the programmer to create phenomena using logic (i.e. wizardry) rather than of using math to model a system (i.e. science and engineering). Among other problems, this leads to designs that break symmetry (e.g. if modeling a bucket brigade, the perspective of many humans passing by a single bucket should be just as valid and available as the “natural” perspective of many buckets passing by a single human). Of course, appeals to symmetry is question begging, and I don’t have time to litigate that here, but it sure seems like symmetry is key to building scalable systems (where scalability means not just number of users, but also things like number of edits to a codebase).

In summary: Classical OOP seems to require that you either have a prior (well-designed and debugged) model against which you can program, or really, really good taste.
This sort of thing almost justifies the "Indiana Jones" style of archaeology to me: if you know that the location of a "historical site" of "great religious significance" just became public knowledge, then the clock is ticking before a bunch of idiot looters come and break all the walls and vases looking for gold, or take home random skulls to put on their desks.

So, presuming you're an archaeologist and know how to quickly-and-efficiently extract and catalogue artifacts without damaging them; and presuming the country that the site belongs to has no governmental body or NGO willing to protect the site; then you may as well book the first plane ticket there, rush in, (carefully) pick up everything of value, box it all up and ship it to a museum—any museum—where it will be put under glass until the significance of the artifacts can be understood.

If the locals want their history, their museum can get it back from your museum. Until then, it'll at least be protected from ending up in some foreigner's Spanish class.
The dirty secret is that those fees are really part of the ticket price. It is still the market at work, albeit a dark and slimy kind of market that makes you feel bad about the future of commerce. If in your example you truly couldn't/wouldn't pay more than 18.50 once you saw the fees, someone else would.

Apple didn't need to wait for Kaby Lake to be able to add more RAM, other laptops have 32GB.

Lower power consumption wouldn't mean a lot when most peoples laptops are idle, or doing very little work, most of the time anyway.

I guess these are some of the trade-offs Apple chose to roll with.

The little contributions don't matter. If you don't consume enough calories, you will not increase body fat and tissue mass. Full stop.

You can retain fluid because of certain conditions that you have (I lost 30 pounds in one hour! Ask me how) but you will not be increasing fatty body mass.
This comment is closer to defamation than the article is. And neither is close. (Assuming U.S. law, as Live Nation is U.S. company.)
I see the "time ticker" thing suggested as a strategy for successful marketing campaigns in pretty much every online marketing book I read. You see it in the offline world as well. "Buy now, because once these prices are gone, they are gone forever . . . ever . . . ever..."

I think a lot of companies use some sort of limited-time strategy to pressure people to buy. Most aren't quite as blatant, or short lived, as Ticketmaster's though.
Software may not be objective (depends on the design process) but the librarians are definitely not objective. At least the software itself isn't committing fraud to try and justify it's own existence.

Ultimately, we've fallen into the trap of trying to appease everyone when it's not sensible to do so.

To be fair, I imagine most of those arch manufacturers simply think "embedded developers use C, we support C, job done."

LLVM support would benefit the developers more, but they have their own budgets and constraints, which are probably not conducive to submitting and maintaining a LLVM plugin.
>>We need to fundamentally change how humans live on this planet

If anyone wonders why some resist accepting climate change as a fact, the above statement gets to a big piece of the underlying puzzle. I strongly suspect that if climate change was merely a scientific topic, there would be little-to-no resistance to accepting it as fact.

But it's not just a scientific question, it's (been made into) a question of how humans fundamentally live on the planet. And so of course a subset of society is going to resist societal change. It's not that people are particularly stupid, it's that they don't like the fundamental changes to how they live that they believe will follow.

Of course, we all know all of this, but for some reason we like to pretend we don't.

In my personal opinion, if you truly care about stopping climate change, you should be spending our effort developing solutions that do NOT require fundamental changes in how humans live on this planet. That path is much more likely to be successful in the political realm and thus more likely to actually save the planet.
Honestly, why not do it once and for all in a strongly typed pure functional language, validate it, and then tweak the GC parameters to get the performance? Use the safest and most powerful language that you can, if you can.
Nice little story about Pharo
At Intel's scale having 4 core chips with integrated graphics or 6 core chips without integrated graphics and slightly smaller transistor count is not a significant cost, meaning they could both sell for similar prices.

They don't do this because they have zero real completion and can milk the high end market. Further, by holding back performance gains they can extend the upgrade cycle as long as possible.

It's security theatre for your computer. It's truly astonishing how little these programs do and how much they do wrong.

The porn industry has already dumped an insane amount of money into VR and is presumably seeing quite a return, since the major players have only accelerated their pace of output. Just like with other technologies, porn companies have already driven the consumer innovations streaming VR video from the internet, capturing 3D 180 footage, and defining best practices for immersive content. I'm sure "novel" experiences are on their way eventually, but right now the money's being made just making 3D180 videos for mobile VR platforms.

I've stopped using them for similar reasons. I don't mind them adding all the fees as much. But it's wrong for the original price listed by them to be so far off from what you will actually pay. You see something listed for $15, and end up paying $30.

That's misleading and should be prohibited. Unfortunately this seems to be common practice in most marketing now ... smartphone plans come to mind...
Iterable (https://iterable.com) - San Francisco, CA - ONSITE

Come join Iterable. We're 36 people bringing the growth hacking tools that consumer internet companies like Google/Twitter/Facebook build internally to other large-scale companies. We aim to build the best user growth engine on the planet. It's crazy how messaging and email usage are changing, but the technology and capabilities haven't caught up to the 21st century.

Our team of hackers and thinkers is from quant finance/Twitter/Google/Yahoo/Zynga/Khan Academy/Palantir/CMU/MIT, (we built large parts of Twitter's growth systems). One of our top level goals is to build a uniquely fun and growth oriented company culture. Knowledge sharing in any capacity is highly valued here -- are you interested in prediction markets or PGP encryption? Do you enjoy teaching posture techniques or purely functional data structures to others? We pair program, design together, and generally create a learn-and-teach environment here. This is an opportunity to join a super-fast growing startup, in a huge market and with a great team, while it's still early.

If you're interested in coming on board, you can help with some challenges we face:

- Scale our messaging API
- Design and write performant, beautiful, asynchronous interfaces
- Write software to build machine learned user models
- Make data visualizations for our email and user data
- Design an immutable deployment infrastructure for our platform

Some aspects of our culture that make us different:

- We are all very focused on self improvement
- Our company has egalitarian and transparent values (work when you want, on what you want)
- We are chill & empathetic people
- The company is completely transparent

Technologies you'll work with:

- Scala
- Elasticsearch
- Postgres
- Redis
- ES6
- AngularJS
- Play Framework
- RabbitMQ

You'll get to work with us at our new office at 3rd & Harrison in San Francisco. If this sounds like an interesting and fun opportunity for you, please email us at aXRzYXVuaXhzeXN0ZW0raG5AaXRlcmFibGUuY29t or take a look at our open positions here: https://iterable.com/company/careers

I wish it was that simple. From the studies I've read and personal experience, the human body stops using fat as its source of energy once it goes below certain percentage (the lower the percentage, the harder it is to make it use fat). It's pure muscle catabolism and low levels of energy from there on, unless you use tricks like intermittent fasting and macro cycling (and resistance training).
The chipsets for the Skylake generation in current MacBooks top out at 16GB. They would have to use a more power-hungry version of them or wait for Kaby Lake. They decided to limit memory instead.
If that were indeed a hard requirement, it seems like it would prevent a farmer building any structure within his property that's not adjoining a public (i.e. Class V) road.

And indeed the planning board can make an exception:

A private road, but as with Class VI roads, only if the governing body, after consulting with the planning board has adopted a policy allowing building on that particular private road, or portion thereof, and then only if the owner has recorded a notice in the registry of deeds acknowledging that the town is not liable for maintenance...

So I would think that a farmer that wants to build a storage shed on the far side of his field would be able to get a permit as long as it's accessible by some private road (even a class VI dirt road)

Take that, drought!
Sea water is about 3.5% salt by weight [1]. The city of Los Angeles uses about 14 billion gallons of water in a month [2]. This works out to something like 2 million tons of salt being produced just by LA in a single month. So we can turn it into table salt... but it's something like six tons of table salt per year per person.

Why Trump Deserves Trust, Respect and Admiration
I'm not familiar with WFP (or Windows in general really), so i can't comment on the use of that particular technology, but the fundamental idea here is to man-in-the-middle the user's TLS connections so that the product can inspect or manipulate the data within. Presumably in this case it's for anti-virus purposes, but the same technology is used by schools and businesses to filter pornography, piracy, gaming, phishing, and other 'undesirable' Web sites, to shape bandwidth, and to log Web activity.

The firewall/software generates a root certificate so that it can sign and serve 'fake' leaf (site) certificates on the fly. Because the root certificate is self-signed, however, most browsers/whatever won't automatically trust it, which is why the user/admin has to add the root certificate to each affected machine's browser or OS certificate trust store.
"Qualified terms"? What is that? Google hasn't heard of the expression, so I assume you just made it up.
What he has done is quite difficult to do these days because of motherboard availability. In some cases an LGA1366 motherboard can cost more than original retail. It's insane. But the performance is great. But if you have an older first gen motherboard, you can get a 6 core Xeon for as little as $40 on eBay. Great upgrade.

What's really insane is that you can get several 10 core LGA1567 E7 Xeons for $20 apiece. If you have a end-of-the-line recycler in your city that will custom pick stuff out of the pile for you, you can get a very scratched up electricity sucking "hog" for next to nothing.
I mention the zoning thing only to explain why you can't push "just open a competitor" one level deeper and create your own vertically-integrated competitor - most regions have an essentially fixed number of major venues, so getting 100% buy-in is totally possible.

But yeah, it's not the proximate cause. That's just vertical control of the market, where TM took over online sales for people who needed a POS service for the web, then merged with LN to get control over promotion and venue operation (which among other things means that many box offices charge fees that get passed on to TM).
I disagree with the contention that the Pearl Automation article is a paid post or "obviously paid content marketing material". It reads more casually, more like long-form journalism than a straight up article, but not like paid content.

Prior to this comment, I don't see where I'm arguing anything other than clarifying a difference between the Cole Haan paid post and the Pearl Automation article and that a larger organization needs more process to efficiently produce content at scale, neither of which I think is particularly contentious. Neither of which I see requires or is an appeal to authority. If you think otherwise, please feel free to point out where.

I don't get this argument. How long does a manufacturer keep supporting an old port because users have older devices?

The current phone does not come with a usb-c cable because it is older than the MacBook Pros and the Laptops don't come with a lightning cable because not everyone that has the laptop has an iPhone.
I'm sure the next iPhone will come with a usb-c cable and then people will complain that they can't charge it with their old laptops.
The stadium in Toronto seats 31k people, for the most important game of the year in front of a home crowd. El Clasico is a game famous for quality, prestige and tradition but doesn't decide anything. It's played in some of the largest venues in Europe - Camp Nou seats nearly 100k and the Bernabeu seats 81k. It's probably not Ticketmaster's fault the venue is not nearly large enough for the demand.

Lovely syntax, great performance, fast compilation times. With templates and macros provides you can build just right amount of magic you need into your programs.

It desperately needs more developers to bring the language 1.0, and I'm hoping things will move faster in 2017.

- Elixir.

For near-real-time, concurrent systems, I'm tired of using the tools I know (python, js), and I'm eager to start using the battle-tested solutions (BEAM).

- C# (maybe?)

I mainly develop line-of-business applications, and python, with it's great ORM, sqlalchemy makes things so much easier. But I want more type safety, and I'm hoping C# and the ecosystem will reach maturity on linux front in 2017, so I can evaluate C# as my main language for line-of-business applications.
I've got copies of the ISO standards for C99 and C++98, and ISO working drafts for C++11 and C++14, and they appear to be high quality (including a comprehensive TOC), but they've never exhibited the behavior you describe.

That said, apparently one of my C++ working drafts actually causes Preview to spend 20+ seconds at 100% CPU when opening on macOS 10.12.2. That's no good, and I don't recall it doing this before. Time to go file a radar I guess.
