Uh, excuse me? They literally rewrote the whole sendfile system call to make it faster (and to make it possible to add in-kernel TLS for, well, sending files over TLS). I'm sure they would welcome, say, driver improvements for the Intel 10/40Gb Ethernet cards.

Except e.g. React and Express are so different and work on such vastly different domains that them being in technically a similar VM is more or less inconsequential. They're two entirely different disciplines and have different build pipelines, deploy pipelines, etc. I don't see much benefit in having them in the same language. One thing does DOM state while the other does ~play in traffic with libuv. Like hey it's nice that this OS kernel is implemented in C, good thing I am also writing my GUI in C.

Idk, maybe it's a boon for some, but I've tried it and don't really see the big appeal...except for Meteor, because if I'm writing both my UI and API in the same * language, why in the would I need to write my models in both places and maintain them separately. But meteor has problems too, I just always thought it was neat way of doing something that would only be possible ("easily") when using the same lang on both sides.
I try to evaluate many new "hot" frameworks using the LDAP test as well. For non-enterprise usage, I use the file upload test.

Specifically, is there a simple example showing LDAP integration (or file upload/catcher). If not even that is documented and there is no example, the framework is likely not ready for usage. Seriously, why go thru all the hassle of starting a framework and not even cover basic use cases?

I see a lot of support for nominating Aaron Swartz on this page. Why not Chelsea Manning instead?

Consider this: her actions parallel Swartz's actions (she liberated information), except that they could potentially benefit many, many more people the world over; Swartz's disobedience would primarily benefit academics (though of course the benefits would sort of trickle down to the rest of the population, eventually).

Additionally, Chelsea Manning is alive, and would benefit from the award. Nominating Aaron Swartz post-humously seems to me like nothing more than an attempt to rub MIT's nose into its own mess ...except of course that the people involved with the award are not the people responsible for Aaron Swartz's treatment.

Citing articles like this and completely ignoring the setup of the experiments is one of the major pet peves I have with discussions like this one.

You could certainly reproduce those results - if the only program you test them with is MS Wordpad. If you're doin surveys involving editors that have a thought-through keyboard interface and with people who are actually trained in it, the result would never even be in the same ballpark. What we're looking for is the skill ceiling, not the skill floor.

Hoodie: Uber Engineering’s Incremental Processing Framework on Hadoop
My interest is usually more in some specific problem or algorithm. I'm curious how subsurface scattering works so I write a sloppy pathtracer just to act as a shell for what I really wanted to do - the complex algorithm. Once I get it half working I'm done, because the goal was neither to make a product or to finish even the subsurface scattering part perfectly, the goal was to code and to understand the algorithm.

I'm not really in it to create, and that's perhaps the key. I write programs because that's how I understand problems. If I could understand something by reading a book or Wikipedia page then I'd often just do that and not have to do the coding at all!

Doing this kind of superficial learning-through-coding is fantastically effective I must say.

hey everyone,

this is Burc Tanir - the co-founder and CEO of a competitor price tracking software called Prisync (http://prisync.com/).
my answer is more for products sold through e-commerce, or more specifically online retail.
in e-commerce worldwide, most of the companies want to have the lowest prices - of course, while remaining profitable - but it’s hard to be sure about that without knowing the competitors' dynamic prices.
with our solution that works for e-commerce companies of all sizes, it's possible to be the lowest in an efficient way.

also, other than automating competitor price tracking, we previously crafted an in-depth article to give more detailed information on this topic, so feel free to check that out too:

A Response to Benedict Evans on the Limitations of Voice Interfaces
I do something like this once in a while. When I get sick of staying up late and sleeping in too many days in a row, I start going to bed about four hours later each night, and reset my schedule to normal within a week. This weekend has been a good time for it, with one less hour to get past.

28-Hour Day: https://xkcd.com/320/

What kind of latitude do you live at? I wonder if the schedule you're describing would be worse in the summer or in the winter.
Sure. I'll start with an example. Take the United States. This is the topic, the verse in which the thing is the thing. The next step out is the inverse. What is the inverse of the United States?

This is where you need an organizing concept. I call this the whole. The whole is the topic plus the inverse of the topic. So if you're using the whole of all nations, you might say that the inverse of the United States is all the other countries of the world that aren't the US.

Next step is the reverse context. The United States is a country, so the reverse would be everything that is not a country. As you can imagine that's a very big space.

We now reach the converse. The converse is the part of the reverse that is the counterpart of the topic. To find the converse is the whole point of doing this kind of logic, and it requires some location.

The part of the reverse that isn't the converse is called the obverse. So to understand what the converse of the United States is, find the United States-shaped hole in the the rest of the universe that isn't the United States. A good approach is to take the inverse of the United States and use it to "cast a shadow" on the reverse. This highlights the converse.

Note that I used the word "universe" just now. It turns out that there's just no good word for the combination of the whole of a topic and it's reverse. Any word you use is going to constitute some kind of limitation on what it is. If you're spiritually-minded, though, it maps perfectly onto concepts like God, or the Source. In fact, I developed this whole scheme in order to better understand spiritual topics like what does it mean to be non-physical.

Locating a thing's converse isn't easy and it requires delving into a lot of things that might seemingly have no relation to the topic, but will if you keep applying context logic to them. I'm going to just jump through the intermediary contexts to arrive at what the converse of the United States is. Not that it wouldn't be interesting but it just takes a lot of work to articulate. I told you this was hard to write about.

In the beginning we assigned the inverse of the US to the other states of the nation, but that's not really the case. The real inverse is the people. The inverse of America is Americans. People have agency. Agency means you can change yourself to become something you're not. But you're not just changing randomly, you're directing it. The United States, being a collection of people, has agency of its own. Agency charts a path through the reverse, that path is the converse.

It all seems a bit boring, but this sort of analysis is extremely useful for making sense of spirituality. What does it mean for something to be real? What are verses of reality? I can sit here and tell you what it is, but it's better to do the analysis yourself and have insights yourself. It's essentially a way to explore the world of ideas in a rigorous fashion.
Yep, it was called Project Astoria. Sadly, MS pulled the plug on it a little while ago.

The rumors are that it was cancelled because it actually worked too well. The original expectation was that devs had to do a little bit of work to make the app(s) work on Windows Phone but it was looking like they didn't have as much work as they would they would.

This was concerning for MS as they thought that devs wouldn't put much effort into making the app work properly on WP and would just release the same version as Android. Not to mention, there would never be a reason for devs to switch to developing UWP apps, if their Android apps could just be ported without much effort.
I've been messing with Mechanical Turk a bit, getting a feel for the platform, as I have some ideas I could use it for. When I was in worker mode yesterday I saw a task that asked the question that oppsdaily seems to be sending out to people: "What problem do you face at work that software might be able to fix?"

Pay people for their ideas!

Do anything for a long time and in a very busy life and you start picking habits, patterns. When you write a blog for so long it's obvious you will develop a tone, style and way of writting that will feel deja-vue. And of course you can't be a genious every day so many time you rely on a formula you know works for you when the spark isn't there. That does't make it less genuine. If anything, it's human.

To put it simply, yes, you're wrong. (Please note that that's the simple answer, not the fully-played-out-in-the-courts answer.) Although we aren't quite in the same position as the USA and their federal/state splits, there are things that are specifically under provincial control and jurisdiction. As one might suppose, this is largely because of Quebec and its legal history before pre-Confederation Canadian unification, but that's not the full answer either. A lot of federal policy is applied through transfer payments since while the federal government can base those payments on provincial compliance, it has no direct control over things that are under strict provincial jurisdiction. In this case, the Supreme Court will have the final word if there is provincial objection; the law as it stands is equivalent to a constitutional change without going through the constitutional change process.

Right. 'Control' can mean a lot of things, depending on what it is you actually want a thing to do for you. Us nerds put a disproportionately high value on things that are (for example) data 'open', but somebody else - such as the interviewee in this article - may have different needs.

I think many people feel 'empowered' using an iPhone just the way it is. It allows them control over their lives, not the technology.

Control is just the ability to direct a thing to behave in line with your intentions. I think apple understands that more than others, even if that's not always in line with what us nerds want it to mean.

Using a mouse is distracting. It steals our focus away.

Programming can seem like a slow process because the bulk of the process happens in our minds. Keeping our focus on our precious mental models makes us more productive.

Keyboard shortcuts become mechanical. When we're in the middle of editing code, whether we type "F8" "C-c C-l" or ":make", we can keep your focus where it belongs. But if we use a mouse to click on the "Build" button instead, we lose part of our focus looking for and aiming at the button. Menus and file explorers are especially bad at this: when opening a menu item or looking for a nested file, every single subfolder or submenu steals more of our focus away.

I know a few programmers who never use auto-completion for file names or methods. It surprised me and frustrated me a lot at first. Typing long file names without tab completion can be so. much. slower. But then I realised we can be much more efficient that way! Auto-completion interrupts our focus. We need to take in new information and make decisions. It's all about eliminating the step where we ask ourself "Why did I open this file?" or "What goes next?". It is easier to think about what arguments we want to pass to a method when we're not focused on selecting that method from a drop-down list. That is also why precise touch-typing is so important. We don't want to focus on either the pointer or the keyboard, we want to focus on our code.

The mouse itself isn't the problem, in fact some editors such as ACME or Blender make very good use of the mouse. The problem is inefficient UI design that interrupts our concentration.

Can you provide sources for that? What are you comparing? Median disposable income? Median household income?
> What was it about "most dynamic languages"?

I should have changed my text to not say "regardless of definition" because you can do that in Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, etc.

Python and Ruby support it through (star)args or default parameters

JavaScript supports it regardless

PHP supports it regardless

We can argue semantics or the fact that some of those types of errors can be caught with some subset of dynamic languages but I don't think that's useful.

My only point was when comparing a dynamic language with a static language I find variable function parameters to be one of the bigger issues over type coercion. But that's just, like, my opinion.

Actually, this is also a point worth stressing for people without Vim-experience: Searching is a "first-class citizen" (as the FP-guys put it with functions).

It's only ever one to two keystrokes away. You press '/', enter your phrase, and press ENTER. Stepping is done with 'n' and 'N'. There really are no convoluted hotkeys for this - which means that you do it much more liberally once you're accustomed to it.

Also there's '*' and '#' to quickly find the next/previous positions of the word your cursor is currentl located on. The same thing applies there.
It's easier to understand if it's thought in a negative way. For "genius" you need the confluence of maybe a dozen genes. The moment one of them is not present, you don't get the whole potential. A genius' child could be very talented, but not quite the same as parent. There is also the "nurture" component, but people tend to underestimate or even discard genetics because it isn't just a single gene.
US healthcare is expensive and, by some measures, not that good.

http://visual.ons.gov.uk/how-does-uk-healthcare-spending-com...

> Despite spending, by far, the largest amount on healthcare, the USA was among the 10 OECD countries with the lowest life expectancy.

What you propose will make it more expensive, and doesn't seem to address anything around patient safety or efficiacy of treatment. You will end up with nicer carpets and comfier chairs in the waiting rooms. The US medical system is currently risk averse, which leads to a lot of over-diagnosis and over treatment, which cause harm.

I Tried to Fight My Spotify Hacker with Music
I don't understand what task the users were doing when the mouse was discovered to be faster. The keyboard and mouse are not generally interchangeable; the task will generally favor one or the other. I'm assuming that the users were doing something like manipulating a GUI that favored the mouse and was awkward with the keyboard. The purpose of the study was probably to convince people to buy Apple's new mouse-centric computers.

Here is what's annoying: having to frequently move back and forth between the keyboard and mouse. Having to glance down to find the mouse to do one thing and then back to keyboard starts to break one's train of thought.
