The IBM book "Developing Quality Technical Information" is the best I've read on technical writing. For writing style, pickup any novel by Hemingway and copy it. You can also Google "how to write like Hemingway" for some easy to follow basic rules.

IMO, however, the biggest problem with most technical writing is not its style but rather the almost complete ignorance of what it should contain and how it should be structured. Open source documentation is a case in point. Some day I will get around to writing an article about documentation anti-patterns, or perhaps a book, given the abundance of examples.
>Incorrect. Buildings stand on land (natural resources) and require significant amounts of energy to be erected (natural resource). So does machinery.

Everything is made from natural resources. That goes without saying. The question is what portion of the value of the property is constituted by the value of the natural resources.

The value of the natural resource inputs to production form a minor fraction of the total value of what is produced. This is because the effort it takes to configure and organize those natural resources into something with added value is what holds the majority of the value. This is why economic systems make such a big difference in the success of economies. Good laws incentivize and reward effective efforts.

>No. Fanatical libertarians are a fringe group, as is evidenced by elections and the amount of ridicule they rightly garner in any factual discussion.

Ok let's play this game:

Libertarians are the ultimate human rights advocates. The majority believes in a lot of silly stuff, like using violence against non-violent people. The majority believing something doesn't make it right.

Your inane insults are typical of anti-libertarian extremists who can't tolerate someone advocating that other people be left alone and not violently forced to conform to a plan imposed by others.

>Worthless libertarian drivel.

Everything you've written has been worthless and intolerant authoritarian drivel. It's the product of an infantile and narcissistic mind, that psychologically projects their own characteristics onto others in the form of insults.
I am speaking in a world in which neither you or I have the power to drastically change the US political system. You might try "to seek a resolution between these two opposing tribes." However we all knew that resolution was impossible in the 2016 election and I imagine we can all agree it isn't happening anytime soon. I am coming to this debate with that as an established premise and it appears you are not. You are trying to have an ideological debate about "democratic totalitarianism". I am pointing out the pragmatic problems with throwing your vote away in the name of that ideology. Regardless of whether I agree with your underlying beliefs, in my opinion, people with your mindset are putting their viewpoints above the actual results of our political system and the people that are already being victimized by a Trump presidency.

Juno’s Close Look at the Little Red Spot
After being a Jenkins person for years I recently started playing around with Visual Studio Team Services, Microsoft's hosted TFS product: https://www.visualstudio.com/team-services/.

You don't have to use TFS as the backend as git is supported and all of your build and release stuff is under the same roof. They have added a lot of "tasks" for most of the popular languages but worst case is you can always run shell commands to do stuff.

The UI leaves a bit to be desired (I think) but for the most part I can live with it.

Full disclosure, I work at MSFT but have been a Linux/Open Source/non-ms person for most of my career.

EDIT: With all of that being said I do like Gitlab because it offers many of the same features (code repo, builds, etc) and am using Gitea/Gogs on my own VM for repo mirroring from Github.
I agree! I do not believe they have nothing to offer. I do believe that what they have to offer may not universally be a good fit for a classroom environment. I know that when I was a gifted student, my less gifted peers had much to offer outside the classroom. They also had nothing to offer inside the classroom in terms of instructional aid.

I believe that the system described fails because it neglects the needs of everyone involved. The proposal neglects the needs of the gifted by refusing to offer them instruction and material at a level that challenges them and instead attempts to coerce them into being teaching assistants. The proposal neglects the needs of the less gifted by relying on them learning from their more gifted peers instead of offering sufficient instructional infrastructure. The proposal neglects the needs of society by failing to meet the needs of any of the students involved in an attempt to use one group of students to meet the needs of another.

What is proposed is not novel or new. I lived this proposal. It is not one that adequately serves the needs of any person involved.

Segregation may not be the answer, though it's a good way to describe what happens in tertiary education. What we have now - and what you propose - we know with certainty is not the answer.

After all, it's the same system that we all agree is failing for everyone involved.
When you click through to send the email, they jack up the price to $100. Feels scummy to me...
Irrelevant to what? The price of attractive but very compact housing on cheap land away from population centers people want to live around basically isn't a problem for any but a minuscule slice of the population. It certainly doesn't address any issue that a potential tech worker in the bay area or NYC has.

Just to add to what m_ke said, we do a visual search to recognize when you're eating a meal that's the same as one you've logged before. You can copy all of the items, including the portions and customizations that you entered before, with one touch.

One neat thing is that our model has figured out which features are relevant to this task -- so tomorrow, even if you eat eggs, spinach, and oatmeal in a different container or at a different place than you did today, we can still recognize that it's the same thing.

You can see this in action in the first shot of our demo video:

Did you even read the article? This has nothing to do with big cities. The author explains how the development of infrastructure, notably highways changed the dynamic to sprawling suburbia and how suburban "nodes" link to the main metroplex in "second-tier cities." This was because of the fact that you can just drive further and keep your job.

Affordable housing requires affordable land. Big cities almost by definition do not have affordable land, therefore the housing will never be affordable in the way the author is asserting.
How realistic is it that you could create something that gets attached to your stomach and is constantly monitoring your food?

Here is how $20 advice from Ben looks like http://take.ms/UTHnJ

It's $100 now :-0
Looks neat, but at the same time, really cumbersome. Because it looks neat, I'd guess people will try it, because it will be cumbersome, people will abandon it. So like many of similar fancy ai/recognition apps, i think it's finding a problem for a solution, it's over engineered.

My problem is, taking pictures is more effort than picking an item off a list, as current caloric counters do.

Most people eat roughly the same things on a regular basis, so they'll end up ticking away a meal before/after you have it and be done with it, with this, you'd be taking pictures while having your meal.

another use case is planning a day ahead, again, pics don't work here, can't take pics ahead of time.

And of course, the result from the pics have to be corrected, so the app learns, it seems easier to just get the item from a list immediately, without having to take a pic first, auto completion on an input works wonders (though of course you'd pick from a longer list)

Maybe i'm just old or not enough of a techie, or photographer, but for me typing a short text, even on a phone, is actually faster than taking a pic.
It now says $100 on the front page. I think the price has recently been changed.
Apart from the legacy case, you need it for MMIO---KVM for ARM also has a mini parser for LDR/STR instructions.

x86 however has all sorts of wonderful read-modify-write instructions too. You need to support those, but it would still be a small subset of the full x86 instruction set if you all you want to support is processors newer than circa 2010.
Ben Horowitz invested tens of millions into this company [0]. This looks like a pivot away from all the bitcoin hardware and using Ben's relative celebrity status to give it some attention.

Half this thread is about what Ben needs the money for or whether he ought to be donating more to charity, but that's not what this is about. This is just PR for a recent pivot of one of Ben's companies.

All that said, I like the concept.

(disclaimer: Akka team here).

The post, somewhat surprisingly, omits to mention Akka Streams (which is a perfect fit, since, as the post mentions 'The data came through a stream [...]'), and Reactive Kafka (which is an official Akka project https://github.com/akka/reactive-kafka ) which solve this exact use case.

These projects/modules have been around since 2014, and we've been presenting / sharing information about them a lot since then. Perhaps this post can be interpreted that we need to put even more effort into the discoverability of them (in fact, we are right now reworking documentation for this and more). Using Akka Streams, a complete re-implementation of the example use-case mentioned in the post would look like this:

`Consumer.plainSource(kafkaConsumerSettings, kafkaSubscription).groupedWithin(maxItemsInBatch, 100.milliseconds).runForeach(batch => persist(batch))`

Too bad the team missed these... I would have loved to point the team to the right (existing) abstraction/library in one of our many communities (github, gitter chat and the mailing lists - we're pretty nice people, come around some time), rather than posting like this. What we've learnt here though is that we need to work even harder on the discoverability of those libraries - and indeed it is one of the things we focus on nowadays (with docs re-designs, cross links, better search and more).

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know what Akka has in store for such use cases, Streaming is definitely a first class citizen in the toolkit.

>So slavery would be okay if the people who were enslaved could be protected from abuse whilst enslaved?

I think if some form of slavery could be proven to lead to better outcomes for all involved, it would be a good thing. I just don't think such a system is possible.

>you must see how in the long run, a legal system that allows those with low resources to plunder those with high resources, deteriorates the incentives that sustain the economy, leading to far more death.

Actually, what I see is that in societies with lower taxes, inequality increases slowly over time leading to inefficiency, poverty and crime.

>I would argue you have no moral right to sell yourself into slavery, because the person you are five years from now is in some respects a different person, who no one else, even their past self, has a right to sell into slavery.

Okay, that's a reasonable argument, but it still feels like an unnecessary contortion to me.

Why not just say "slavery is bad because it denies individual freedom"? That seems far more like a position based in liberty. Whereas trying to base everything in property rights just feels like an exercise in oversimplification.

(Or if I'm feeling excessively cynical, it feels like an attempt to intertwine property rights into the philosophy so deeply that they can't be argued with directly.)
I don't like the table but the inforgraph is great. What I really like is % of people overweight.

The idea isn't really all that much different from buying a "fixer-upper" though. A lot of people (like myself) buy a house in a location we like on property that we like that clearly needs a lot of updating and we do it over time, some of it ourselves, some of it (usually) with contractors. In my case, I'm not sure how much money had been put into the house over at least the previous 50 years.
> Maybe show me some empirical examples to rebuke me.

Like the three historical examples you ignored in the post you responded to? C'mon. Why would I waste more time?

> haha, commies are stupid

Yes, this is how you got to the "not even wrong" level of discourse and somehow thought it constituted reasoning. A random salting of pure-theory, Econ-101 points is the sort of lazy, free-market fundamentalism that I have no time for.

Communists weren't stupid. Communism didn't work, but people trying it had a reasonable intuition that it would work because they had a lot of experience with communal approaches working pretty well for them at smaller scales. And, just as important, working in ways and yielding outcomes that matched their values. Because they also had a lot of experience with unregulated capitalism fucking them over.

Laughing alternatives off like this is just a knee-jerk defense of the status quo. People here get endlessly mad when it happens to handwave away startups or new tech. But it's somehow common and acceptable whenever economics comes up.

With regard to portion sizes, you could have users put a "standard" object in the photo, such as a dollar bill, credit card, teaspoon, or quarter, iPhone, etc. into the photo as reference sizes. Eggs are also reasonably consistent, so in photos with eggs, that could work also. Love the idea (I had it myself a long time ago, but too many things to do and not enough time) and hope this takes off!

"Amazon is a logistics company" is a common refrain. It's obviously a core capability and essential to the journey from "bookshop" to "general purpose two-sided global end-to-end fulfilment platform" via ships, drones, planes, self-driving trucks, automated warehousing and so on. This is hardly a surprise but it's still instructive to understand that AWS is also a logistics monster.

There's a quote from James Hamilton from 2014, "Every day, AWS adds enough new server capacity to support all of Amazon’s global infrastructure when it was a $7B annual revenue enterprise (in 2004)." The actual number of facilities elements, computing & storage units is not specified but, you know, it's obviously a lot, and that was three years ago. Imagine the supply chain & logistics required for that constant growth. Layer on the step function of adding each new region or AZ. Realise there's a lag between demand and fulfilment, and consider the impact of failing to meet a demand projection because something shipped late.

Every global public cloud probably shares similar concerns, but I think one reason AWS got to be a first mover is the logistic capability burned into Amazon's DNA.

obdisclosure: I'm ex-AWS, opinions are my own, all facts above are public.

I've been a die hard Firefox user since Phoenix was released, and after a (relatively) brief stint with Chrome, I switched back after a series of Chrome releases would randomly up and refuse to load websites while Firefox worked fine (tested frequently, using all three Chrome release channels).

I see a lot of people around the internet (not here, HN users are much better about this kinda thing) say things like "Firefox just keeps getting worse" but not once is that statement ever qualified.

It almost seems like Firefox's slow decline in use is tied in some small way to this memetic catchphrase. "Firefox just keeps getting worse." I simply don't believe that most folks are even capable of qualifying that statement, and a good bit likely don't have the technical qualifications to even gather supporting arguments for it. If that sounds a bit familiar...

It's almost identical to what is said by people that clearly believe that Java and the JVM are the same thing, and will rag on the JVM as Java, the former or which is definitely not the problem. There's even at least one troll account on Reddit that is heavily dedicated to screaming about non-Java JVM languages, both on Reddit and on Medium, including posting their own Medium articles in JVM language subreddits (usually /r/scala). It's a bit surreal, honestly.

I assume there's at least one similar account, but for Firefox. I don't visit browser-centric discussion boards or subreddits, though, so I can't say for sure, and won't.

I suppose I don't have much of value to contribute to this thread, I apologize for that. I just felt like sharing some casual observations of mine.

The question itself falls apart when you remove the requirement that all schools follow a rigid curriculum based on grade levels modeled upon a particular age cohort.

If you accept that a 9-year-old student can learn productively in the same room as an 11-year-old student, you no longer need to consider setting aside a separate room for all the 9-year-olds with ability equal to the median 11-year-old. You just put the smart kids into the more advanced classes.

Just let the fast kids read ahead on their own. If they can get far enough ahead of the instructor, they can skip a semester, and either start the next class in the sequence early, or cram an elective class into the gap. There's no need to ship them off to another building.
