I'm an unapologetic night owl. I don't wake up before 10AM if I can help it, and I get a lot of productivity out of late night hours, both for work as well as personal endeavors. I enjoy my groove and would not change it. Were an employer to require me to be in the office early, I would refuse the offer or seek new employment. Given the nature of software work, I don't think this is at all unreasonable. As long as the team is able to rendezvous mid-day for several hours, it seems petty to hold individual actors to a universal schedule.
The poster probably is: I'm much the same way.

Low functioning on little sleep, but a good night or two and I'm up at 1am.

Right now, I simply sleep when I'm tired and waking when I please most days. I generally sleep from about 4am to noon, approximately. Additionally, sleeping later in the day produces a better sleep. I sporadically sleep through alarms and loud noises.

It does make the normal 8-5 world more difficult to deal with.
Thanks! glad you enjoy the app
He wanted that particular lemon-flavoured Tesla, even.
> I presume the quote is accurate, but that Giuliani (or the reporter) may have dropped a qualifier that would change the meaning.

This is not a very convincing line of argument. The actual interview on Fox News where Giuliani said this is easily googlable, and on youtube. No missing qualifiers. You can just watch the interview and find out that the quote is accurate and that Giuliani meant what he said, including "Muslim ban". There's quite some danger of hearing people say things that they mean to say, and just assuming that they couldn't possibly have said them because they sound odd to you. After all, what evidence would you find persuasive?

They've only now, in 2017, started the return program for the vehicles mentioned in that lawsuit, so this statistic probably doesn't reflect those returns yet.
This is about the same level of service I would expect from Toyota should I buy a Corolla or Camry. I would expect better were I to buy a Lexus LS (random example in the same price range)
Sony Imageworks had a reusable digital library for the buildings in Manhattan. The fire from GhostRider also saw reuse. These models are tied to the production pipeline at Sony: the shaders, data formats, texture pipeline, effects pipeline etc. A reusable backlot company does not exist because a standard studio production pipeline does not exist.
Trump plans H-1B and other work visa reforms
I blame the regulators just as much as VW for making shitty tests that gave too much incentive to cheat (which wouldn't have been difficult to detect or eliminate).

I also own a Jetta which I've been very happy with for ~8 years. I don't get any sense that they were cheating on the quality of my car, and it seems justice is being done for the cheating on tests.
As an aside, I loved Solarized but have to mod it... the single mod is to make 'black' actually black. It is a beautiful colour scheme - I particularly like how comments are faded yet perfectly legible in it.
Yeah this brought back fun memories. I learned to program on the TI-99/4a and I can still visualize hex numbers as bitmaps because that's how you had to program graphics on the thing.

I actually got a TI program published by Enter magazine but Enter went defunct before it got to print, and later appeared in 3-2-1 Contact magazine instead. "Rainbow Rectangles", can't remember the publication date. Not quite (cough) as cool as this demo.
While the network is not quite ready for end-users, it is more than ready for developers who want to get started and build agents. We (CV devs and the emergent coding community) are currently in the middle of populating the third layer (of 4) with Agents. (You can track the network's progress on our Dashboard(https://marketplace.codevalley.com/dashboard).)

If you're curious and would like to take the system for a spin, I've linked to some template expressions below. Each expression already sets up the contracting of certain agents within the network. Just open the one you want and hit 'Build.' (To view the pseudo-code associated with each expression, just click on 'Notes.')

Build a program that runs on a Linux OS (x86 64-bit architecture) (i.e. contract agents that compile requirements to binary code):

2. Text reverser (https://marketplace.codevalley.com/pilot.html#linux-text-rev...)

3. Fibonacci calculator (https://marketplace.codevalley.com/pilot.html#linux-fibonacc...)

Build a program that runs in a browser (i.e. contract agents that compile requirements to js):

I feel like our society has devolved into vindictive children. Instead of allowing someone to have their own thoughts and beliefs and debating them like intelligent adults, you try to get them fired or destroy their only source of income because their beliefs differ from your own.

It's the children brigade getting the CEO of Mozilla fired all over again.

I only see this kind of behavior coming from the left. It means I just won't debate people if they disagree with me. I shut them down immediately.
Well that sounds like a shitty feudal system - Here I am offering to be a serf and you expect me to freaking VOLUNTEER? What do you think I am an old woman???

Does this support multi-tenant apps? Most BaaS products I've seen assume that your account is hosting a single application and every user has visibility into almost everything. Versus an account that is supporting n clients, and each client has zero visibility into the data of other clients, unless via whatever secure mechanism they've granted permission for client X to see something within their company.
Even "bug" was in usage for malfunctioning electronics before computers.
If all Bezos cared about was the bottom line then he wouldn't be seeking out ways to so publicly undermine the administration. As you said, Trump already made a threat to Amazon just as a candidate. Now he actually has the power to pursue an anti-monopoly action against Amazon. Even if Amazon and Washington state are successful in their lawsuit, it would be a pyrrhic victory compared to what Trump's Justice Department could do to Amazon.
Well in the US, Diesel isn't very popular so the impact won't be as big, but people in Europe at least are going to rethink about getting Diesel, and the governments there might reconsider the big tax break they give to diesel engine which are supposed to be cleaner than gasoline (making diesel cheaper at the pump than regular gasoline for consumers in Europe).

Now we discovered that it's not only VW, but many car makers, so people aren't mad at VW as much as they were at the beginning of the Diesel-gate scandal.

I would have boycotted VW for life if they were the only one doing it. I'm certainly boycotting their diesel engines.
> they're just, well, pretty decent

Unlike their drivers, apparently.
This is the logical conclusion when you allow corporations to be 'people' without the consequences of being a person. How do you send a company to jail?

Its kinda of like that scene in fightclub where Edward Nortons character talks about the cost of doing a recall.

The emissions scandal should have ended VW.

Solution: Guillotine for corporate crime.
I got my monitor today and it doesn't work. LG technical support confirmed the following:

1. Monitor does not work near a router.

2. MacBook must be to the left or in front of the monitor.

3. Thunderbolt cable shipped with monitor might be defective.

LG is shipping me a new cable to try, but I only have 14 calendar days to initiate a return.
Most people wouldn't be surprised the car was engineered to do well under the test, but having an algorithm which detects the test is occurring, and including an actual vial of urea which is used only under those conditions. That is above and beyond.
Right! So obviously, perhaps after some bankruptcies, new medallion owners will lease them at prices which are attractive to Uber drivers. And Uber will have more competition.
Another happy customer here.

We started off with Hackpad and used that for years, and tried moving to Dropbox Paper when Hackpad was end-of-lifed. While a good product, it wasn't really good enough for what we needed. We were using Hackpad like a wiki, and Paper just wasn't (at the time, at least) built to really be effective for public content like that.

We moved to Notion, and while it's certainly more complex in what it can do, it's met our needs far better than Paper and even Hackpad have. Notion continues to improve pretty much constantly (I get excited when I get the blue banner at the top of the UI saying there are new updates), and the people we've interacted with there have been fantastic.

It's not perfect, but they've been hammering out the major bugs and shortcomings we hit when we first started, and recently pushed a big update that improved how free/paid teams work, added namespaces for pages, and a handful of other improvements here and there.

We have a lot of content in Notion now, and it's been pretty easy to keep that updated and to jump around. (The native Mac app has helped a lot with that as well.)

(Also not in any way affiliated. Just another happy customer.)
Well, facebook is neither a face nor a book <shrug>
I bought a new BMW in 2012. I've had a lot of problems with it (including an entire new engine, covered under warranty), and I've always had to wait for BMW to service it. The wait is anywhere from a few days (car towed in and nobody looked for a few days) to two weeks (30k and 60k mile maintenance).

I feel like everybody is being hyper-critical of Tesla because most people dislike the auto industry and see Tesla as a major disruptor of the status quo.
Good post. I'm getting into F# myself having been a C# guy for a long time. I love it.
You are right. Someone has to do it. I suppose I just don't want to be me :-p

This is perhaps the most hilarious thing I've seen. There are plenty of varieties of delicious tomatoes you can grow or buy.. the idea we need to "reengineer a genetic fix" seems like something the Onion should be running.

At our cooperative store we have amazing flavorful tomatoes.
Getting out of the cloud…
I hope you are wrong but fear you might not be.
You're right. The Cubans face serious repercussions once they get back.

What about the other guys? They're from countries that actively sponsor terrorism or who can't properly vet people.

And what about the chaos at the airports for the Cubans when Obama's order went out?

So you think there's nothing wrong with permanently deporting a green card holder, with a US citizen spouse and US citizen children, a job and a mortgage, just because they took a two week vacation while Trump was suffering Executive Order Diarrhea?

Because that's not how America advertises itself. But maybe you don't want an America with rights, you want a fascist America that everyone else hates so you can start another "war on terror" and Trump and Bannon can grab even more emergency powers.
'Loop' as a metaphor for a programming technique is perhaps less obvious than you think.
The Cuban repressive regime isn't all the repressive any more. You can't have a blanket automatic acceptance of refugees when there are direct flights between Cuba and the US. Quitting old refugee policy is a part of renormalizing relations between our countries.

We think, and rightly so, that we can do more for Cubans by opening our economies now than we can by continuing the status quo. Part of that is shutting off the valve for refugees.
Why do I only see Domain-driven design in the context of f#?
> why can't landing pages actually explain to me what the @#%^&ing product is, or does.

I like landing pages with lots of screenshots, showing how a problem is solved in a few steps. However, I tried to do that for my company and conversion rates dropped. So I had to give in to the marketing guy who was telling me to just focus on the benefits of using the product and not on how it solves it. Now our landing page has no screenshots and the conversion rates are great. Go figure.
You're getting an overall picture from one story?
Games are pretty frequently attributed to companies, though.

Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with crediting engineers. But I the "auteur game" thing is still an outlier.
The drivers can work for Uber, and arguably earn as much as they did before. It's the medallion owners who are out of luck.
My fitbit charge HR stopped syncing and I could no longer update the firmware. It became useless so I had to dump it on the shelf and forget about it.
"I'll vote in a morally bankrupt populist kleptocrat and then argue that if the system can't restrain him it's not my fault."
this is a purely emotional appeal with no basis in fact. There were plenty of people and media attention on Obama's move and its geopolitical nature of locking Trump into the Cuban reapproach.
If the business package could upload photo's from phone devices I would consider it.
If this were true I'd expect to see yogis running the world.

Instead, running the world are people who I suspect aren't much into meditation.
I love the edit.
Softbank reveals some details of its $100B fund
Many people look at emissions testing as an annoyance and I doubt that outside of environmental circles that very many people cared. And it was diesel car emissions -- a niche of the US market that's almost invisible anyway.
Sure, but it depends how complicated you want to make it.

Ideally you would use an electronic dead drop -- any tweets would be sent by a small embedded computer which listens passively on Wifi for a message sent to it from you as you transit past it, then at some random time later fires up the 3G to send to twitter etc (still via Tor). This can be automated to run from an android phone. Of course if this phone is found its credentials can be extracted and it can be turned into a method to locate you. See the FBI CI bust in New York of 'Anna Chapman'. They really should have used Tor, but of course that flags your IP as of interest in the big NSA computer in sub-basement 19.

> Up or down several dozen orders of magnitude.

I agree.
Moving garbage collection into design-time makes instant sense as it naturally matches the application's activity. However such a move is something that only becomes practical with a technology such as the World Compiler which eliminates the need for code-reuse with its corresponding necessity for run-time allocation of memory. This software development technology has a raft of such large scale advantages.
You say one thing then demonstrate evidence of the opposite, there was plenty of media attention on Obama's order.
So setting up regulatory capture frameworks through cronies at the government to collect rents from people is not cheating since it happens to fit the definition of 'legal' and therefore fine to do?
This was just an under-handed marketing move by Lyft to destroy Uber and simultaneously virtue signal their support for immigrants through ACLU donations.

More and more things like this just shows me how many mentally ill people there are in this world.
I thought it was only the tyrannically strict California emissions tests that they cheated on? The cars met standard emissions limits, unless I'm mistaken. Was it even an issue in Europe? I thought their standards were even more relaxed.
I thought I disliked tomatoes as a kid, eating around them as you describe. Only when I discovered garden-grown cherry tomatoes did I flip the other way. So far the other way I'm surprised I didn't get sick eating so many of them. They're incredible.

The AGPL is not toxic. More anti-copyleft propaganda.
Facebook was originally an online equivalent of a yearbook, where you know, there are lots of pictures of faces.
I spearheaded the move from php(symfony) to .NET Core at the startup where I work.

We have had a pleasant experience so far. Performance is better across the board. Development is as fast or even faster in most cases. Deployment has also been simplified.

We started the port of our code base around October last year and released the update to our product at the end of December.
During that time frame, we migrated from 1.0 to 1.1.

We are using some awesome libraries from the community and a few small ones we wrote internally.

Libraries include:

openiddict (for openid connect and oauth 2.0)
rawrabbit (simple rabbitmq library)
entity framework core with npgsql
mailkit for smtp email sending

We wrote these library wrappers around third party services because they did not exist in a stable form:
twilio wrapper
nexmo wrapper
gcm wrapper (now fcm wrapper)
bitgo wrapper (hosted bitcoin wallet provider)
blocker wrapper (blockchain explorer)
openexchangerates wrapper
api layer wrapper (mobile number verifications)
ip-api wrapper

among others.

A service monitor for monitoring availability of third party services

We have also a spin off from our main product where we are using an private blockchain-like solution(openchain) for a niche market.

We have been very pleased with the overall experience using .NET core so far and we are looking forward to moving to 1.2.0 as soon as it is out.

The only real issue we've had is that the new signalr library does not have a stable release though we are using it in production.
We've had to isolate it into a separate project but because of compatibility issues with 1.1 libs. Can't complain about hat though as we knew it is an unreleased pre-beta level library.

To manage the risk of using it, we try to follow the development closely and prepare in advance for any changes we can see coming.
You can impose fines, but the trouble is that if the fine imposed is smaller than the profit gained from their misdeeds, (or than the losses actual compliance would cause) then they're still winning.
I, for one, was very surprised this was happening. I don't know the first thing about calculating the emissions from my car...is there a noticeable smell or visible difference between cars that emit less vs more? Since I don't know anything about the topic, my default assumption is the car manufacturers are playing by the rules.

Although, once the news broke I did think we'd be hearing about other manufacturers too.
Wow, there's an amazing amount of down voting in this article. Is that because people hate tesla? I don't get it. I once bought an suv. It had a problem soon after I bought it and got service for a while and i didn't have a car. It was frustrating. It wasn't a tesla by the way :-) They didn't offer to give me a loaner during that time, but I was pretty young and not aware that was a normal expectation. Eventually my car was repaired, but I was out several weeks of use of that car.

Moral of this boring story - things can break. The car company won't just give you a new one. They will try to fix your old car. Tesla sells things, and they can't just give you a new one when it breaks.
I recently wrote up my Caddy+Varnish+PHP-FPM solution for WordPress[0]. It's fairly complementary to the steps detailed in the OP. The site absolutely flies now: 50-75ms response times cf. 200-300ms per Google, A+ on SSL Labs cf. unencrypted HTTP/1.1, and the $10/mo VPS rarely cracks 1% CPU utilization despite it being a modestly well-trafficked site. Our organic search position has improved significantly.

Caddy was maybe an odd choice but it performs well and it's been a breath of fresh air after dealing with some gnarly NGINX and Apache configurations in the past. So far it's been easy to maintain and there's a clear CDN migration path (Fastly). I'm using Docker's official PHP-FPM images[1] to serve multiple sites with some isolation, sharing Caddy, Varnish, and MariaDB instances.

I'm not sure if this solution has value for anyone else but I've been plugging it here and there in case there is!

Yes, we launched our start up on ASP.NET Core - https://www.comparelearning.com.au/

(We're based out of Sydney Australia - not SF).

Overall, it was a positive experience and I think even with the current warts (in particular around tooling), it's a nicer stack than MVC5.

I blogged about some things we learned here:

You own the Tesla hardware. You do not own the software. You're also not forced to buy one. You're also free to write your own software for the vehicle to bypass Tesla.
Not my experience at all. The service people have been a pleasure. My car has had glitches but everyone has been great and most of my issues eventually got resolved. It's just normal growing pains you expect from a new startup.
That's not cheating, it's "growth-hacking". :O
>I feel that we're in a post-revolutionary phase of open source[1] -- and we no longer need the radical instruments of the GPL

We need the GPL now more than ever. Free software is in everything, yet users are less free than ever. Almost everything users interact with on their phone is proprietary software built on permissively licensed free software. If you think the GPL is no longer needed, then user freedom was never your goal.
Interesting. Looks like the Google Play store was also embargoed at one point:

Let's all remember that prices are plummeting in the face of rides that are heavily subsidized by venture capital firms, by one account to the tune of 60% of the cost of the ride.
We also make small talk about the weather, even though nobody really gives a shit what anyone else thinks about the weather. And we ask how people are doing, even if we don't care.

I don't think "how people talk to strangers" is a representation of what people in the culture care about.
you only see this behavior coming from the left because of your own bias.

How conveniently you forget the entire US Congress right wing refusing to work with the legitimately elected president of the US and building their entire agenda on defeating him because they disagreed with him.
But they still have a union.
