There's also the small matter of profiting from desperation with unproven remedies that do unknown, possibly permanent damage. There are good reasons and historical precedent for strong medicine safety regulations; it's not just bureaucracy.
Linear types = "you must use this value exactly one time"
Affine (uniqueness) types = "you can use this value either zero or one times, but you can't use it more than once"

As an example, compare two languages: one with linear types and one with affine types. Let's say that you had a "File" type, a function "open()" that creates a file (either linear or affine as appropriate), and a function "close()" that consumes the file. Then this code would be legal in both languages with linear types and languages with affine types:

let f: File = open()
close(f)

Note that "f" is used once and only once, at which point the value is consumed. In a language with affine types, this is also kosher:

let f: File = open()
// Do nothing

This fails to compile in the language with linear types because "f" is never used. Finally, this code is never legal in either language:

let f: File = open()
close(f)
close(f)

... because "f" is used twice here, and neither linear types nor affine types allow that.

So affine types give you a little more leeway.

Yeah, as am I. GNO, AUG and Golem all have some pretty compelling upside.

I've been following Siacoin development very closely for the last couple of months. Their devs seem like one of the few remaining people in crypto that actually care about developing a working product/coin, vs just abusing the unregulated market and getting filthy rich.

Kudos to the team for getting on the front page of HN. I'm sure this will raise awareness of their product at least a little bit. Just looking at the coin itself, looks like it jumped 10 points since this blog appeared.

Are there other nations which have less demanding requirements, but still decent vetting? Why can't these kinds of ideas go there?
I just want to add to that, just to offer a perspective that people not concerned with the upkeep of software always realize: In the general case, when you keep software around for long some bugs will linger. But as long as the issues are well known that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Sometimes you have to work around some corner case or performance anomaly in another layer. You don't want to apply fixes to underlying software willy-nilly without first re-evaluating what you did.

So sometimes stable distributions will avoid fixing bugs for good reason. (That doesn't go for security issues, of course.) And if that's not what you want most distributions have a more suitable branch for you.
Actually, this is more like the opposite of how Microsoft has always done things. When they've entered markets, from OS to word processing to RDBMS to web browsers, they've consistently produced simpler, cheaper products. Then they've gradually improved them until they became credible competitors and often dominant choices.

With phones, tablets, and now cheap school laptops, their timing didn't allow that. Google has already succeeded with the classic Microsoft strategy, all the way down to commoditizing the hardware vendors. Microsoft is instead coming in as a semi-premium option, combined with inertia/safety as a brand trusted by enterprises. The same play is a bit more successful in cloud computing, but they're still losing to AWS who are nailing the classic Microsoft strategy. Assuming they continue to decline in their ability to rapid-follow in new technology platforms, I expect they'll look more and more like Oracle and IBM.

You are right, I don't know IBM and Red Hat reasons, but I do not trust them very far on this.

Red Hat has a great Java alternative in Ceylon with a module system which seemed far more sensible when I read about it (you should take this observations with a grain of salt and check for yourself, I'm going on hazy memories).
> Haskell is complicated, but some complication is needed and that's more of a learning-curve problem.

That is a junk argument. No one needs context-sensitive grammars. I think designing a language that cannot be parsed with an LL(1) or LALR parser is just dumb. It guarantees that your compiler will be slow right from the start. In addition that applies to all the tooling - syntax highlighting and navigation in the editor, linters, pretty-printers, etc. And in practice the tooling is not just slow but also has a ton of bugs around corner cases.
It's interesting to hear someone else say this because all I'd really heard before this comment thread today was good things about Discourse.

I ran my own Discourse forum for a while. Users liked it well enough, but eventually I switched to using the free Steam community forums (it was a forum for a game) because it was costing me every month to run a separate server for it on Amazon.

During Discourse's life it also changed recommended install methods and auto-updates would occasionally break, so it was work to maintain. To be fair a lot of this was on relatively early versions.

I also found the Ctrl-F breaking and infinite scroll much more annoying than useful and tried to tell them[1] along with others. They listened somewhat and switched to only taking over Ctrl-F on long pages, but it's still not great. In fact I just tried to Ctrl-F for my post on the page I linked and got taken to my profile page instead.

Same here, I love Longform! I save them to my Instapaper and read them when I have downtime or am stuck somewhere (like a waiting room).

> 3. Very balanced outlook towards global users - even though SV (or even US) didn't recognize their traction, he always understood that there is a big world out there where not everyone has an iPhone.

This impressed me the most, because at the time whatsapp went mainstream globally - it was available on all platforms including the old BlackberryOS, BlackBerry 10, Symbian (S60), Windows Phone and even some candy phones!! which was unlike any other messaging platform and I have a good reason to believe it was instrumental in their success given how many of my friends switched to whatsapp just because everyone in the group could use it (we had WP, Android and iOS users and one oddball BB10 user [me]).
I agree, i was expecting this to be priced around the same price as the chromebooks or netbooks (~$200 USD) and i was sticker shocked at $999

I'm pretty immersed in the field of parental leave benefits in the US and UK, having setup Pledge Parental Leave www.pledgepl.org. Important to get the full perspective on the market in the US. You're taking a crap on a company with extremely progressive benefits across the board, furthermore so, one offering them at a 'meager' size of 50, where the relative cost is much greater than compared to a 'large' company.

It is very easy to make simple comparisons between UK and European standards vs US standards. The fact is that there is almost zero government funding/support for parental leave in the US. The US is the only developed country in the world without any government mandated parental leave standards.

What Basecamp offer in terms of paid leave to either parent is top tier in the US. If you take a look at Facebook, Google and others they offer close to similar benefits - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Ibj79Eh8Cvk4Wy_dPZNc...

In the US, any company stepping up in this area is doing so of its own volition and cost - again the government gives a company zero funding. In the UK, German, Sweden etc they pick up most of the tab of extended leave. In the US, the only form of support is for mothers through expensive health insurance for the 'disability' of having a child. So before you engage in moral relativism, it's healthy to get the context and the facts. Check out http://www.pledgepl.org if you want to clue up or help fix this situation.
Asking some questions because I'm legitimately curious, I'm not super familiar with Discourse... but from admin'ing some other forum platforms, their choices seem logical to me. Is the implementation just bad?

How do you know something useful is on page 10? Is it normal for forum users to remember specific page numbers within a post?

I have bumped into all of the OpenShift.io managers and executives today at Red Hat Summit. They have all been discussing this very HN thread (they have all read it), and taking it to heart that they want to clean up the marketing items immediately.

As for your question - initially it will be released as a service. But it's Red Hat, and their customers are primarily on-premises with OpenShift sales, so the demand for on-premises deployment on your own hardware will be through the roof. So we'll see if RHT targets that demand.

Now that I'm in a higher roll, I notice a lot of people who chameleon their ways right up the chain. They eventually hit the wall and it eventually becomes clear that they cannot perform. I usually tell them directly, which may make me a bit of a jerk, but I prefer to receive direct criticism so I can respond by working on my skill sets.

It's fraud. If you don't see the issue, the problem might be with you.
Because it dilutes the focus of the site!

There are all kinds of people who give "useful advice" that could, in theory, help an indie hacker, but are actually aimed at a general audience. In the extreme case, consider diet and beauty tips, relationship advice or stock investing strategies. Yes, those things are useful to many if not most indie hackers but they're also easily found on more general sites and can easily crowd out more focused content.
It is very nice to have first mover advantage. Many web and mobile application companies today do not have first mover advantage. This was a good talk to listen to if you have quietly stumbled on something that people want before the rest of the product builders find out.
There is no logic to that whatsoever. But since Basecamp doesn't make that distinction --- it has "primary" and "secondary" "caregiver" --- I don't think we need to argue this point.
Typical CISC is an instructions which uses both a load/store pipeline slot and an ALU pipeline slot. 'move immediate to address' just uses a load/store slot and fits into a normal risc microarchitecture; the reason you don't normally get it is encoding constraints: the address typically uses the instruction bits where the immediate would go.

Looking at the source, though, this processor uses a variable length instruction; so it is at least a bit CISCy.

Browser fingerprinting is not new.

"Panopticlick will analyze how well your browser and add-ons protect you against online tracking techniques. We’ll also see if your system is uniquely configured—and thus identifiable—even if you are using privacy-protective software."

Tor bug #6119 (https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6119) talking about using this tool specifically for Tor browser. There are also continuous efforts in Tor Browser to remove fingerprintability (e.g. #22127 - https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22127).

Unless they've changed their direction, again.

It's also one more way to explain the foot-dragging on the Mac Pro. Hard to launch a new high-end platform when you're focused to switching to a platform squarely focused on mobile (phones and laptops).

Now that they say a new Pro is coming, I wonder a bit more about whether they've switched directions and are going to stay with Intel in the near future.

P.S. Or have they continued development and are they going to be one of the first to introduce true high-end ARM power through up-design and an effective multi-processor/multi-package integration? (Aside from ARM server clusters, which can be powerful but are a different kind of thing.)
