OP isn't talking about targeting a (more) minimalist browser like lynx, but about making a terminal (CLI, or TUI) interface to their (ostensible) web application.

That is, they'd create a wrapper application (the reactor-blessed example suggests using js) that gives them access to the key components of the application and a way to test it out independent of the (eventual) design goals and dealing with browser compatibility. Really, the suggestion is that they'd focus on creating an http-based API, and use the terminal application as a way to develop/test it. It's a sound approach, as another commenter pointed out, as it forces a stronger separation between presentation and business logic.
We incorporate real companies for real businesses. If one ever wants to e.g. get legal advice from a professional other than ones Atlas recommends, we’re more than happy for our companies to do that. (Many of them do, already.)

We see ourselves more as a builder of doors than a keeper of gates. There is a formidable wall of operational nonsense which separates entrepreneurs from building things and selling them to people. We want to get them through that as quickly as possible, rather than creating additional hurdles.

For similar reasons, Atlas is more than happy to help folks take payments with Stripe, but that’s not required or exclusive in any way. If your company thinks Paypal or Apple is a better way to get money from your customers, awesome; your company is no less able to transact with them than any other company. (We literally help people on our forums get set up with DUNS numbers to get on the App Store, for example.)
Out of curiosity, have you used Curry? The combination of logic and functional paradigms in one language is intriguing to me, but I have no time (right now) to play with it.
I am not an expert.

I suspect that Intel produces such processors to meet the requirements of institutional customers engaged in areas like national security and other matters related to nation states, i.e. customers who need laptops and are sophisticated enough to write procurement requirements down to the CPU level when soliciting bids.

It's basically the same logic that produces chips with vPRO; there are a set of important customers who want to be able to manage CPU's remotely. Because that group buys many more chips, the default is to include vPRO. The volume that those customers buy produces the economies of scale that let vPRO chips dominate the consumer market.

But I could be wrong.

No plumbing is required in modern architectures such these of SAP HANA, Starcounter, or Tarantool. When the application server and database are combined, the access control is arbitrary, databases talk whatever you want, no need to torn the code apart into stored procedures, backend and frontend code. Plus to this, lots of unnecessary moving parts are removed in such architectures, so that the whole thing runs on 2 servers instead of 20, while the code is simpler than ever.

The referred article needs clarification. What it really addresses are the flaws of conventional software architectures. Fortunately, this critique does not generalize.
They are in the process of being banned in Europe. Rumour has it KTM is releasing fuel injected models in 2018 that will pass the emissions laws (and have improved throttle response), which is great to see. They're dubbing it "TPI" or "transfer port injection".
> Rumours have it at 12TFlops, so should be comparable to this card.

Comparable on paper perhaps, but Nvidia architectures tend to get more actual gaming performance per FLOP than AMD architectures do.

i.e. the AMD RX480 (5.8 TFLOPS) is 30% faster than the NV GTX1060 (4.4 TFLOPS) on paper, but in practice they perform more or less the same.

Even in titles where AMD performs especially well the advantage is around 10-15% in favor of the RX480 - still less than the specs would suggest.

Bazaar (bzr) had valid reasons for existing. It predated git and mercurial, being based upon GNU Arch (tla) and baz. At the time, it was pretty cutting edge. While it was eclipsed by later arrivals, we weren't to know that without the benefit of hindsight.

While I never used it, being a tla user at that point in time, I would not criticise it as not being worthwhile or being a pointless reinvention, since it was neither.

Divergence isn't always bad. It's often needed to make any forward progress when the incumbents have stagnated. I'm grateful for all projects which attempt to push the boundaries. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Bazaar didn't, and now it seems Unity didn't. But both were worth the effort put into them.
It depends if you want to use it like Twitter (public announcements) or like Facebook (closed small/medium circles). If you use like Facebook, then it's enough that one person among your circle of friends (probably the most tech-savvy one) would host a pub and use that for their friends. You can see how you would probably be connected to a few pubs, because you usually have different circles of friends. If you want to use it like Twitter, then indeed we might need a DHT, but the point there was the resilience of the network.

This seems like the sort of thing you could do procedurally relatively easily, without recordings. Find some car recordings and stick them in a spectral analyzer like Raven. You'll probably see harmonics of the valve and crankshaft periods, with intensity changing with engine power.
Apologies ahead of time if this is a stupid question. I am pretty much the walking stereotype of a web developer with very little experience with anything below javascript/ruby/python/php.

Considering that Glimmer goes quite far in optimizing stuff, at which point would it perhaps make more sense to just emulate HTML elements on a pixel-level?

Or am I vastly underestimating how complex the standard UI elements really are? Or overestimating how much effort went into Glimmer? And if so, as perhaps a more constructive question: are there any areas of 'web' where someone feels a shortcut should be taken?

(On the latter, I'm inclined to feel that WYSIWYG textareas and CSS above class-scope are ripe for 'shortcuts', but perhaps that's opening some cans of whole other worms...)

Back in the days of yore, when philosophy = science (ca 1000 BCE to 1500 CE), scholastically the discipline of theology was their equal (actually their master), and constrained to function within a single possible world -- that of the orthodox religious belief system of the day (as reinforced by the king's church and horsemen).

Before the Enlightenment, philosophers were allowed a tiny amount of latitude to look outside the accepted world of the theologists, so long as they firmly denied such worlds to be 'possible'. But after the Enlightenment, those bolder philosophers evolved into scientists as their imaginations broke the theologists' shackles, insisting that truth was not a matter of belief, but of objective demonstrated consistency with rigorous logic AND theory AND guided by experiment. Now possible worlds were invaluable to scholarship, both philosophically and scientifically, as models were imagined to fit the available evidence and converted into testable form within this physical world. But alternative worlds were not off limits, as Einstein's general relativity demonstrated so vividly.

Yet even after the Enlightenment, many philosophers and most (all?) theologists did not follow the scientist philosophers into their brave new worlds, preferring to remain within the comfortable confines of the world chosen by their intellectual and spiritual forefathers.

My point? Truth became relative for these three groups, dependent on which possible world(s) they chose to inhabit. And my second point: the worlds inhabited by philosophers and scientists today are most certainly different, substantiating the validity of different truths.
Good shot, but this doesn't really add anything to the post, does it?
OK, so "completely ignore" was an exaggeration. They do talk about opioid abuse as a problem in general, but rarely ever mention that the affected segment of the population is about 65% white male (in West Virginia, not sure about other areas). If there is a program on PBS or NPR about it, it is almost always a young female being interviewed - just my subjective observation. Details, but they add up quickly and create an ideological bias, where there should not be.

Having frequented all of those places sans Lonestar, I can attest to their being plenty of parking in most cases (draft house a bit scary late w/ the clientele, and the hub you may have to park a bit off to the side but not too bad).

You can write VMs in languages that are implemented with a VM.

IIRC, it's a stack-based VM. Here's the opcodes, I believe: https://github.com/glimmerjs/glimmer-vm/blob/master/packages...

>Also the term 'Late Capitalist' sound like you not only believe that history moves in stages, but also that you know when one stage will end.

I believe history does move in stages, each stage being set mainly by the relationship of various groups to their means of sustenance, i.e the means of production. In the times of slavery, would consider the relationship of the slave to his means of sustenance and the master with his relationship. It is the same analysis we do in feudal periods with the serf and lord. And again it is the analysis we do today - what is the relationship of the proletariat to sustenance? The answer is wage labour on private property. What is the relationship of the bourgeoisie to sustenance? They are sustained by bourgeois inter-relations and trades of capital.

I graduated from Olin, never took a class at Babson, but would also highly recommend classes at Wellesley.

The major downside to Olin is that it's very small and the humanities offerings are very scarce and not comprehensive at all. Olin has a four class humanities requirement for graduation and you're required to have a "theme" to the classes so that you have a sort of "humanities concentration." Some students don't really think about this until senior year, at which point they panic, take a couple more classes, and submit some sort of hand-wavey statement that tries to tie together all the extremely different classes they took.

I took Russian 101, 102, 201, and 202 over the course of 2 years at Wellesley and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend that she think about, not just her engineering major, but what topic she wants to pursue in the arts or humanities. If you make a decision in your freshman/sophomore year and pursue a specific set of classes it's an amazing opportunity to pick up a new skill/hobby, or expand on an existing one.
That doesn't exactly surprise me. MSSQL feels like MySQL's old MyISAM table type technology that's been hacked and extended for decades rather than a shift to something more technologically competent. I still get errors on a regular basis about the deadlock manager killing queries because they became deadlocked. Because of course the way to deal with your system easily running into deadlocks is just to implement a checker that runs once a second and kills those queries that deadlock, and not to actually make the system work better....

This is even more ludicrous when you consider all the extremely cool stuff the team responsible for porting MSSQL to other platforms accomplished in order to get it functioning on Linux[1].

Its not for me to say what will or wont be easy for you to pickup, given your prior experience with bash. IMHO Powershell has gone so far beyond bash that its not even fair to compare them. PS has combined all the objected oriented APIs inside windows (WMI, .NET etc) and you don't have to constantly convert to and from strings, which is brittle to begin with. PS can simply pass around in-memory objects, making it far more efficient. Powershell also has real types and this helps reduce scripting errors. There are lots of nice things in powershell, so for e.g. even if you didn't know the properties, you can autocomplete after typing "ls | sort -property" and can choose one. AFAIK you can't do this on a shell that doesn't use objects. You'll find that the design of the command names is mostly consistent with verb-noun format. I'm not even a sysadmin, I do embedded systems programming, but I still appreciate some of the niceties in PS. For e.g.

> Databases are a miracle product. If you think of an application as a car, the database is the engine.

Yeah - you're totally right. Thats kind of why I'm complaining about them - because we use them so much I think the potential benefits from improving more them are massive.

The modern web stack is a mess, and changes all the time. But there's a handful of features we need in just about every application - login, update feeds, data-based rendering (computed views), etc. But stored procs aren't good enough - they're inaccessible, hard to debug and usually require their own (non-standard, barely known) language to develop in. So lots of developers write functions outside of the database through multiple queries, and in doing so will often break the database's transactional consistency model.

Databases have managed to stick around with us throughout the evolution of the web. I'm being critical, but I'm doing it out of love. I'm saying that databases have the potential to provide so much more to the modern web ecosystem than just data storage. They could do access control, and run stored proc-equivalent functions or computed views from whatever languages my app is written in. If I need some complicated data flow where data needs to be updated in realtime in a secondary db (like elasticsearch), that should be dead simple to do too. I didn't get into it in that article but I believe we should be able to extend our databases to share data flow logic between applications. Or just build a lot of this stuff into databases so its reusable between projects.
Yes, but not GBs. There are logs (diaries) and blobs. Images are stored in blobs and can be garbage collected.
As someone who uses Twitter's APIs heavily, this is both encouraging, and slightly terrifying.

We draw down a lot of data from Twitter. Obviously, we always want more data,
so we got in contact with GNIP to see what we could afford (which, in itself took a long time). As it turns out its incredibly expensive, and as a very early startup, we couldn't afford any of their plans. We had no option but to fall back to their standard, free APIs and make do.

There are plenty of people who would happily pay good amounts of money for access to more Twitter data - there really are a million uses for it - however Twitter's current prices are far too high for anything other than a VC funded Silicon Valley startup to afford. I hate to think how many potential startups and cool projects have been killed off instantly simply because Twitter's prices are insane. You can get real-time global stock market tick data for a year for less than Twitter charge per month for access to the decahose.

So, I'm glad to see Twitter being more open about their future plans, and really happy to see they're moving towards a more self-service paid API for those than want and can afford it. I just hope they make it affordable and don't kill off too much in the process. The last thing they need is to upset a lot of developers, again.

Twitter's API has always been something they've not leveraged enough. All they had to do was keep it open, find a way of serving adds through 3rd party clients, and I suspect there would have been an explosion of good clients that could have made Twitter much easier to use for people who just can't figure Twitter out. Twitter shouldn't be complicated, but it is, and by trying to hold onto the brand as tightly as they have, they've prevented good developers from making easy to use clients that could have brought in users.

I really want Twitter to succeed. I hope this is the start of a turnaround for Twitter.

>Even money is an invention of the state.

The existence of money precedes sovereign governments. The only prerequisite for "money" is consumption decoupled from the instantaneous moment of the trade (aka not direct barter) and human memories to keep track of them. That form of "money" has been happening for thousands of years. The prerequisite for "currency" is any item (coins, cigarettes, hotel loyalty points, scrips, etc) that's frequently used as an intermediate store of value to obtain other items.

However, a fiat currency requires a modern state to convince citizens to put faith into authorized pieces of paper instead of cattle/tobacco/yams/gold/diamonds/etc. If the citizens lose faith in government-printed money (e.g. Zimbabwe, Germany Weimar Republic), people will fall back on underground "organic money".
I'd just like to echo the sentiment that it would be fantastic if Atlas supported LLCs. Hope it comes around soon!
> I find PowerShell a delight to script in, but terribly cumbersome to use interactively.

That's because you can't be both! The shell wants to be both an API and a user interface, and these are two goals that are fundamentally at odds. An API should be structured, strongly-typed, unforgiving; a UI should be discoverable, intuitive and unconstrained by the needs for automation or programmability. Programmers are stuck in the idea that a command-line shell running in a terminal emulator (emulating hardware from the 70's) is the pinnacle of interaction design, which is extremely sad.
