One of the first comments on the link above mentions this as a potential exploit; they said they would watch for people attempting it and attempt to mitigate it if it becomes popular.
With all this tech around, I realize that putting up a few solar pannels is so much easier and safer.
If I read your comment correctly, I believe you are suggesting that backends will provide APIs, which would leave us with the MC in MVC, the controller is still needed to map data structures to API endpoints.

My question to you is this: why do you believe that? I think we have all witnessed a growth in popularity in front-end MVC frameworks, but are they the correct solution to all problems?
Have you figured out the difference between webpages and apps yet? Let me know when you do and we can continue this discussion.

Sure sure. The smartest kid at my high school was also one of the funniest people I've known; he didn't hang out with the "popular" cliques or anything, but everyone knew and liked him. You can be a nerd and not horribly awkward.
Adults try to explain this temporary state to children a lot, but they tend to mess it up by using some form of, "this doesn't matter" which doesn't pass the smell test for these kids who are struggling.

"If this doesn't matter, why am I in so much pain?"

The trick is that it both does matter, but also isn't permanent. So little of what happens in high school is irreversible, and certainly almost none of the things that feel permanent are, but it's hard to explain that without minimizing legitimate feelings.

I also didn't like its mail client, but IRC was useful multiple times. Especially when browsing some kind of open source project and wanted to get an answer, I just clicked on a link on their page and was able to join their channel.

The great thing was that Opera 12 even with IRC, mail, torrent and other goodies (such as HTTP server) was still lighter on resources than Firefox and Chrome.

I really do miss the old Opera, and even the Vivaldi is not
really good replacement since it still uses Blink engine.

Pei Xiu outlined six principles that should be observed when creating a map. He then defended his position and each of the six principles with a short explanation as to how they provide better accuracy in map-making and cartography. The first three principles outlined the use of scale (fan lu), direction (zhunwang), and road distance (daoli), while the last three principles are used to properly calculate distances on uneven terrain as represented on a flat, two dimensional map
Playing Spelunky on my Macbook. No, really.

It's pretty killer for running older / less demanding games. Lots of older games work better in Wine than they do in modern Windows, if at all. Also, for some indie games with half-assed Mac ports I've found it's often better to just run the Windows version in Wine.

I suppose it works with productive Windows apps too...
No but you are saying that a bad sequel can make the original worse. I don't think so. The original is still there, untouched, and you can hone your skill at putting yourself in the context in which it was originally released.
Have been trying BaaS lately - few questions.

What databases are supported - like can I use oracle database with Scaphold.

Is there support for websockets.

Why Scaphold ? I see there are many companies in this space since last few years - what unique selling points will help a customer choose Scaphold.

Dont you think rise of PaaS will make BaaS redundant easily going ahead. Since BaaS is now a very small layer on top of PaaS.

The fast-growing cloud service market at large is one we're trying to tackle, and you're correct in that GraphQL does indeed provide a lot of value in helping us get there.
If you're optimizing for "fun and functional", go Elixir/Phoenix and don't look back.

You'd still need some frontend tech, but there's a good amount of integration tools out there already for things like Elm, React, probably Meteor, Angular etc.
That's a cartoonishly large data cap. How are you getting that?
Re: Status Indicator

I think people would like to know if the user is in DND mode or if their call will go straight to voicemail. In fact, having an option to leave a voicemail instead of calling the user in realtime might even be something that some users want.

I don't like being disturbed while coding, but I wouldn't mind checking my virtual voicemail now and then.

Re: Pricing

Also, I do really enjoy the up-front per-call pricing model. It's easier than a flat monthly rate and per-minute charge typically associated with the VoIP industry.

I can understand how it'll make your finances risky though. It's likely just a matter of time until some premium rate scammers start knocking on your service to see if they can make 12-hour-long calls.

If Twilio supports it, maybe you can put a time restriction in place? Or make it so a call that consumes a call credit every 5 minutes.

Also, Local US rates with Twilio are pretty much 1.5 cents a minute. The international calls get more expensive, but maybe you could do it so more expensive calls use more call credits.

Some things you might want to put in a FAQ or on the pricing page:

1. If leaving a voicemail counts towards the call credits.

2. What happens when a user runs out of call credits (does every contact just go to voicemail?)

3. If there are any restrictions on voicemails (auto delete after X days, for instance - Something you should consider. 1/4th of a cent per minute and 1/20th of a cent per month for storage can add up if you get big)

I'd say Elixir is the skin, like you say: without it, all your rocket pieces are out in the open and not particularly aerodynamic, and they'll start breaking off and you won't be going to space today. There are other skins, though, like LFE and Erlang itself.

The Erlang VM is the engine. You can make a beautiful, sleek, aerodynamic rocket, but it ain't going anywhere unless you literally light a fire under its butt. It helps that BEAM helps the rocket go fast :)

Of course, you need some sort of structural piece to hold your engine and your aerodynamic skin in place, lest your rocket crumples itself up into a ball at launch. That's where OTP comes in: providing a robust structure for your rocket.

Last but not least, you need to launch it. Rebar and Mix work reasonably well as launch clamps in this really contrived metaphor. You also have exrm (or Distillery nowadays, I guess) that works as the VAB, in which your rocket is put together so it can be launched.
Both AoE II and Starcraft play totally fine now. But they used to run poorly on old wine releases from 6 years ago.

Any software that is around 15 years or older has a really good chance of running, I would say even more than Windows 10.

Newer DirectX 9 games, specially with the wine-staging patches, have a good chance of running, but nowhere near what current Windows can attain.

Anything newer with DirectX 10, 11 or 12 is pretty much a train-wreck. Unless the game runs OpenGL or Vulkan, like DOOM 2016, which after removing the DRM and some patching from devs runs like a dream.
Actually, I loaded the link on my iPhone and it is responsively designed at least for Safari on mobile.
The problem I had when I first read this article and still do today is the terminology. I am probably being overly picky, but I remember reading a categorization that differentiated between geeks, nerds, and dweebs. I still think it is possible to be a geek and be popular, or at least, "above" (more socially acceptable) the social circle of nerds or dweebs.
It's sad that people tend to think of life as some kind of DnD character creation, where people have the same points but allocated in different ways.

Instead, some people just have more points than you, and just because they have more points in charisma, doesn't mean they also don't have more points than you in intellect.

I've heard, even on this site, people deride management and C-suite types as "dumb" or "the popular kids", and in the same breath worship "that guy in the room"[0] but the stark reality is quite different from this fantasy.

Seems like around 2010 they had a big dev layoff in Bentonville, and then were hiring soon after, which I remember as being quite pecluliar.

Is this layoff a leading indicator of the dev job market bubble bursting?
You don't really need social skills if you're in good physical form - even the original article admits that:

> Unless they also happen to be good-looking, natural athletes, or siblings of popular kids, they'll tend to become nerds.

Being good at sports or good looking is just viscerally impressive, and makes you more popular. Being book-smart has no such effect, unless you're particularly witty.

Not everyone is driven into poverty at the same price point.

With a tech salary it's possible to float above the rising prices, but everyone else gets driven out.

Housing prices will not "balance" because demand is extremely high and much of that demand has high salaries, and supply is extremely restricted (by NIMBY's and the laws they support).
600k seems like a best case estimate here. Given that $400 is the low end of Manhattan construction and these projects are definitely not risk free. Even at 600k per apartment, you're not going to solve housing for everyone, you're still only hitting a price point that is good for the upper middle class.

I wish I had a clearer breakdown of costs, but most of Manhattan is built up, so land costs are going to be huge in most areas; you know that developers are looking at the least developed areas because that's where land is cheapest, so if you start building in places that are already expenses your costs will go up.

The new website looks pretty cool but I wasn’t blown away by the product. The API feels very weird when actually building an app and unfortunately most integrations didn’t work for me.

We’ve tried all available GraphQL BaaS and now use Graphcool which doesn’t have all the features Scaphold provides but the ones they have are very stable and mature. Also their API seemed by far the best one we’ve tried yet (e.g. they are providing an extra endpoint for Apollo client).
It's not really more true, as most people, kids even, are able to see past those facades.

I took his comment about "very little activity in integrated solutions" to mean "[in the JavaScript world]" but maybe that's not what he meant.

I do think that's pretty true of the JS ecosystem though. There are things like Sails, but most of the "new" stuff that comes out is build systems, tools, small libraries, and view libraries.

As to why... it's anyone's guess.

My guess is that making a full-stack opinionated framework like Rails is a big undertaking, and most people are focused on what they see as "quick wins" -- solutions to the obvious surface-level pains like "npm is slow" and "making forms with React is hard" that can gain traction quickly and rise to stardom on Github.

Maybe this is cynical to mention, but fame and recognition (and maybe interesting job offers) seem to be a big driving force behind the constant influx of new and better JS libraries/tools.
I can imagine more and more web apps as frontends to multiple services of other companies, but there is still space for custom backends. I've got a customer that is developing its company around a custom ERP (under development) because he says there is nothing out there that can interface the systems he has to exchange data with. Of course sooner or later somebody will provide those services, using backend technologies.
Building Instant RESTFul API's with MongoDB and RESTHeart
I think it's a mind-expanding experience to set up an Erlang release on an "immutable infrastructure" system like CoreOS, with the Erlang "ssh" application enabled (instead of using ERTS's remsh system), and then keep that system up for weeks/months by doing maintenance through said SSH REPL. It becomes very clear, when you do so, that Erlang really is its own little sandboxed OS, and that the "Erlang Runtime System" is really a kind of standalone virtualization system for running that OS on other OSes.

Honestly, I think that if Ericsson was just starting to build Erlang today, it'd look less like a self-contained emulator, and more like a virtual-machine image. (Or more than one: maybe an Erlang unikernel image ala Erlang-on-Xen, and then companion POSIX VMs to spawn ports on, making the Erlang cluster into its own Kubernetes-alike.)

IMO social skills aren't really skills that are learned, they are personality traits. Intelligence is also a personality trait. If you have personality traits that cause social problems then you will have to work on controlling those traits, that itself is a skill. Some people are born will personality traits that make them more likable. People also tend to like people who are like themselves.
