BBM had huge potential as well in the early days. Blackberry practically invented this "SMS-alternative" type of chat application. It was being quickly adopted in emerging markets as a replacement for SMS, which was much more expensive. However, Blackberry screwed that up by keeping BBM Blackberry-only for so long. The BBM should have been available on the iOS and Android stores (and probably on Symbian/Java) since 2009 at the latest (basically when Whatsapp was launched), and it would've dominated.
That's not particularly meaningful. The author was making a statement about shell complexity by using lines of code, not making a statement about binary size. The fact that there's 113k CLOC of PCRE in there is pretty irrelevant to talking about the complexity of Fish itself.
What we tend to see in modern capitalism is convergence on duopoly. AT&T and Comcast. Google and Facebook. It seems to take about four competitors before there's real price competition. EU antitrust policy recognizes this, but the US does not.

There's a theory of duopolies.[1][2] Both parties don't have to form a cartel. Each party's optimal strategy is not full competition. It's a variation on the prisoner's dilemma.

I don't think this works, because, frankly, in a team, the usually is a guy who picks up other people's slack and, because he's that good, he really works 8h of the day. The bigger the company, the more true this is because it grings up inefficiencies that need to be filled with personell time.
Yep, I felt like my choice was cut in half after I moved to the UK. Even if you go to a butcher the approach seems to be "here's the 5 cuts I made today, take it or leave it". And don't even try mentioning buying offal - even if I go to an actual butcher, offal is "special order only" and I have to wait a few days to get it. I live in a coastal town, and the choice of fresh fish is limited to just a few. Very disappointed.
Well, not necessarily. The linker will strip out any symbols that aren't actually used, which may indeed be a non-inconsequential chunk of fish's bundled dependencies.
Ideally, text wouldn't be limited to 50% of the total screen. Can you imagine if every tv show you watched was squeezed between either two continuous advertisements, or blank borders?

At the very least, using the whole screen real estate, you could display two pages side by side, like a book. Less scrolling, faster reading, more comfortable fonts and sizes. BUT EGADS! WHERE WOULD WE PUT OUR ADVERTISING!!!!!
I would be surprised if major metro areas didn't have enough seafood demand to justify building inland fish farms to supply the urban centers.
One factor is that by far the biggest profits are to be had in the US.

Maybe you can get approved in Australia or Sweden, but that will pay negligible sums compared to getting into the US market.

The tooling is already available. Either resize your actual browser window or use the devtools device emulator. Chrome has extensive support for this.
I used to install everything on my Mac through Homebrew if it's available on Homebrew, but recently I found myself starting to moving away from Homebrew.

First it's Go. Go installed from Homebrew lacks the source code, so I cannot ^] into a standard function's source code in vim-go. So I did `brew rm go` and installed the pkg version instead.

Then the recent rust update had some problem building in Homebrew, and I discovered that the rustup tool is actually very nicely done, so I did `brew rm rust` and used rustup instead.
The Best-Paying Internships in America
You haven't answered the question as to why people who live in rural areas, where there likely wouldn't be competition anyway, don't deserve net neutrality.

And I'm sorry, but if the only reason you're giving internet "for free" is so that you can violate net neutrality, then you are not doing anyone a service.

"In the long run, the only barrier to competition is regulatory capture"

Not true. There's the fact that for many places, they just can't support multiple choices for things like that. There's the equipment, which is extremely expensive anyways. There's running lines.

And, quite frankly, when you say that regulations should be removed, you're basically saying that those in less profitable markets, where there likely wouldn't be much competition even without regulation, don't deserve to have net neutrality.
I had used your products and would really like to apply. Is there any kind of guide to prepare for your interview process ?
The stereotype is pass around among restaurant owners as well. It's not a secret that the American palate is picky and easy to understand. Avoid foods that are mushy, gooey, slimy, or "weird" (even though most food is like that), and try to make it crispy, sweet, and/or salty. Sushi is gross, but put the rice on the outside (beacuse eww seaweed) and cover it in sweet sauce, and suddenly it's delicious. Chinese food is gross, so enterprising Chinese-Americans invented some generic salty/sweet deep fried garbage and it sells like crazy. Oh, and here's some deep fried pastry dough with superstitous nonsense thrown in.

Granted, Americans have gotten a lot better at food and culture in general in the past decade ever since the hipster/foodie-ism thing, but it still has a long way to go if it wants to ditch the image of the average American as the child who won't eat their vegetables.
There were lots of reasons why Corral failed, including poor choices of technology (MontageJS, p9fs), unfortunate engineering decisions (tons of unmaintainable wheel-reinvention, tons of backward-compatibility breakage), and poor planning (eg. documentation and localization ignored from the beginning, constant design changes). Jordan (departed CTO) would seem to have fallen on his sword and left, and the remaining executives (including returning CTO [and founder] Matt Olander) made the ruthless but understandable decision to cut their losses. They're re-focusing on the existing stable project with the intention of bringing in the the coolest features of Corral incrementally rather than all at once. Kris Moore has a solid record with PC-BSD/TrueOS and has been managing FreeNAS 9.x for some time. Only time will tell if FreeNAS 11 will live up to what 10 could have been.

The growth refers to the enterprise version of the current (9.x) product line, which is legitimately growing. It's just that 2+ years of engineering effort on the successor was thrown out two weeks after that PR.
Out of curiosity, which distro do you need to use?
Other than D.E. Shaw Research, I can't think of any where the namesake is actually doing lab work.

There are plenty of foundations and the like though. The Schwartz Foundation funds a lot of neuroscience (particularly computational), but through grants to universities and researchers; Jerry Schwartz isn't really spending any time at the bench.

For basic research, this might make more sense. We know that, in principle, rockets can be built. Improving them isn't easy, but with enough time/money/effort, it can be done. For things like life extension, we don't know if it can be done, nor do we know the things we'd need to know to decide that (recuse as needed here). It'd be better to fund a broad portfolio of ideas than focus on your own enterprise.

It's also possible for these engineering-based companies to make money en route to their goal. Mars would be awesome, but there's money to be made in geosync or even low earth orbit too, which helps keep the business going. In contrast, there's no market for 1/3 of a possible antibiotic.
Scala.js 0.6.16 released
> Anybody know anything I should read besides Nozick along this vein?

I'm now reading a selection of essays on the general theory of politics by Norberto Bobbio (it's in Italian: http://www.einaudi.it/libri/libro/norberto-bobbio/teoria-gen...) which I find quite interesting, in the same vein as the later Nozick described by the article.

Bobbio never seems to choose a dogmatic view on the philosophy of politics, even though he discusses at length about controversial political ideas like freedom vs equality, politics vs morals and the like. His short description of "liberal socialism" is quite convincing, even though the construct might at first seem like an oxymoron (he uses the word "liberal" in the continental way, borrowed from Benjamin Constant). Too lazy to search for but I'm pretty sure there must be plenty of English translations of Bobbio's works.
You can still target for the screen size using CSS - you can even track changes by creating a css file with literally thousands of thousands of media queries, where each media query sets e.g. the background-image property of a hidden div.

Thanks to gzip compression, this shouldn't even take much data to transfer.

Oh, and as I think of it, would this here still work?

Wild guess, this is monadic style friendly right ? threading implicit variables (rng, etc) is often used in tutorials.
I think you could hook youtube-dl in to get youtube support (and more).
Meat prices are also heavily subsidized to the tune of billions of dollars a year. It is probably the US's most subsidized "crop", even compared to the infamous corn.

The real price of most grocery store meat is in the ballpark of twice the sale price. The difference just comes out in taxes.

It is also what drives a lot of the unhealthy eating habits in the states.
I'm guessing very uncommon, but still a possibility.
Is Python a LISP? Is JavaScript a LISP? Is Java a LISP? What do you mean by LISP, by its core principles? What does a different set of core principles look like that lends itself to a different family? I threw in my vague classification above: sexps and macros. But you can have macros without sexps, and sexps without macros (lots of "toy lisp interpreters" do that), are they LISPs? Lastly one wonders why we don't go calling all these C-like languages ALGOLs. What do you gain by trying to separate from other ALGOLs?

Or less extremely, why don't we consider Python and Ruby to be the same family, or Java and C#? Those pairs are arguably more similar than the pair of Common Lisp and Scheme.
I am agree with that, I won't buy it just because it comes with Windows.
The irony is somewhere hidden in that forest of classes, I believe what they've actually done for most of the text for many viewports is to scale it down to "75%" or "18px"...
but putting effort into being a manipulator is bad advice.

And yet, I've seen many manipulators/jerks in high/very high positions in places I've worked (and nice people too). I've also seen people who've hit the wall simply move to other companies and rinse/repeat until they hit the wall in the new place.

Everyone knows manipulating is wrong, but some embrace it and make it work for them. It sucks, but it also works, otherwise so many people wouldn't doing it.
Oh snap! How have I never known about this? Works just like holding Alt while resizing objects in Sketch or Photoshop. Very handy.
That's a good idea, I suppose that would have to do the same with another tools like Apache libcloud or Ansible itself.

I'll add this suggestion as an issue to the project. Thanks!
what are the truly paranoid using?
The other commenter posted a link to the official docs which explain it pretty well. I'm new to Go so I don't know what was there before but basically all I have to do is define a Go struct with the types that I want and then using struct field tags I can name the fields (for example if I want to use snakecase or something for JSON). Then when I encode to a string it automatically takes care of formatting it as JSON and I can decode a string and get back the typed struct (it will throw an error if it can't be done).
There is no issue with "mobile-first". The problem is when designers think "mobile-only", forgetting that a sizable part of there audience still browse content on desktop.

Furthermore, given how web-pages are getting heavier and slower to load, I doubt any of these designers are really serious about designing for mobile at first place (I don't buy the "management wants tons of analytics" excuse).

> As others have said elsewhere in this thread, I can (and do) use the zoom function when necessary.

If a website doesn't allow you to zoom in the text, it's a design mistake,no more no less.
Correct. This is only to close the local exploit route.
Everyone's going on about parental leave.

To me the big thing is 37 Signals spent years railing against companies with their handbooks and written down procedures. Calling them rituals doesn't change the fact that they have processes
Yeah, if this laptop were cheaper I could forgive that. But it is 2017, this laptop starts at $1k and quickly rises but only has USB3 and mini display port. Change the mDP to Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C and i'd be sold.

Or drop the proprietary charger and stick another USB-C port on that side and use it for charging.
Confessions of a Digital Pack Rat: Almost Half a Petabyte and Still Growing
I don't know if it's just me, but I consider Capital more of an economic text than a philosophical one. That's Marx in political economist mode. And from what (albeit little) I've read of Nozick I much prefer Marx and continental philosophy as a whole (though I'm just beginning).

The Manifesto draws varying opinions even within Communist circles; arguably Engels' "The Principles of Communism" is a more gentle text.
At first I was amazed there is no mention of Functional Reactive Programming. Then again this is from 2006 when there were no fast, powerful, and practical FRP frameworks.

I suspect we will see somewhat of a revolution in terms of client side development in the coming years - with a vast reduction in complexity and huge increase of programmer productivity.
Seems like back in the 60s-70s the thing to do was to get some land not too far (1-1.5hrs driving) from a reasonably sized town where there were jobs, get a trailer and then gradually build a house next to it and move there once it's ready.
Or,save some money and buy a "proper" manufactured home.
I know ppl whose parents did something along these lines.

One other thing I'd add is for a lot of these ppl the "expenses breakdown" is different from the typical suburban population. They don't place too much emphasis on the actual house being up to par with their "class" - but if you'd add up all the "toys" they own and spend significant sums of cash on - GUNS, ATVs, tractors, snowmobiles, boats, bikes, GUNS, hunting and fishing gear, GUNS etc - if you add all this up we're talking being able to afford a much better house.
Someone in USA Midwest who doesn't just go fishing for himself in any of the many lakes and streams that are open to the public, has very little basis for complaint about selection of fresh fish to eat. The reason we have a variety of sport fish in our inland waters, is because commercial fishing is not allowed.
DO has block storage, Vultr has it on a couple regions and Linode seems to be preparing for that too.
Let me add my word. Vultr is powerful and reliable. Recently they cut their prices roughly in HALF. They were the best (IMHO) before that. Now it's not even a competition.
> FWIW We're doing everything we can to make this "work hours only" M-F, which we could solve by hiring tons of people immediately, but we also have other ideals like keeping the company as small as possible that we want to realize too.

And this is what I can't stand about small businesses. Nothing makes me run from a company faster than a company saying they're committed to their ideals over what's best for everyone. Small businesses, for whatever reason, are the ones who are most likely to shout "Honor before reason!" and shoot themselves, their employees, and their customers in the foot. You don't see megacorps doing this.

What's best for everyone is to hire "tons of people immediately". If your ideals conflict with that, then you need to jettison your ideals.
Did that for simple polynomials back in the early 80s. The approximation of an arbitrary function is more interesting to me, precisely because I didn't do that, I guess :-)

Cal State (Stan) only had (some) Lisp available because I was interested in AI. We only had shallow treatment of it (GC scoffed at...), and I've only been discovering deeper features second hand by reading about it the last 10 or 15 years.
Yep -- actually, if you look at how the IO type is defined in Haskell, it looks basically like this (there is an object that represents the "state of the world" that gets threaded through computations).
As long as you log in before internet is disabled (don't show up late to class?), you'll be in your user account. The laptop screens don't become black once they lose internet connection.

Google Docs/Sheets/etc supports offline editing, and a quick Google shows there are IDE's that run on a chromebook with offline mode support.
Maybe this is true in New York, but the produce at the local Chinese markets where I live is not particularly fresh and in some cases you can tell from the packaging that it was intended for sale at a different supermarket (I assume this indicates it wasn't fresh enough for the original place of sale because it always looks just short of rotten in these cases).
The thing is, a person wearing a mask is only hidden in a crowd, if the crowd of people wearing masks exist in the first place.

By removing all evil from tor, you expose the good, leaving it vulnerable. That defeats the purpose, I suppose.
Naggum has a pretty good answer for that, linked in the other comment branch: http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3224964049435643@naggum.... You could also argue based on things like Common Lisp can run LISP code from 1960 with a very small driver, or the general history of code porting and sharing, as done here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9387131#9404543

Great, the head researcher responded to serious criticism with the emotional maturity of a child.
>"liberal socialism" is quite convincing, even though the construct might at first seem like an oxymoron

I don't understand why this is even considered an oxymoron, aside from the arguably distorted views people have about the theory of Socialism. There are plenty of liberal Socialists, Oscar Wilde being a popular one.

a proxy is only a proxy if there is bad intent, otherwise it is just correlation.

> This will skew the numbers substantially

Only if your analysis is as simplistic - otherwise you can afford to look into the reasons the discrepancy exists.

You suggest over-policing, or higher police scrutiny, results in more arrests - why does it not result in fewer "nuisance" crimes?

Possibly. On hindsight, RIM totally underestimated the onslaught on mobile started by iOS and later also by Android. They never thought those platforms could take off, so their decision is understandable (but totally wrong of course).
Rest assured! Docker will never be allowed inside a plane.

All plane software must be certified DO-178. For starters, that means 100% code coverage.

Yes, but then I'd need to explain what the syntax objects really are instead of calling them "some meta-data on top of a list" and moving on :)
I'm currently mentoring a college student (I've been in the workforce for 5 years) and one of the issues I have is that I don't know what the mentee really wants / needs. So i'd recommend you figure out what information you want from a mentor, then hit up the social networks to find someone who can provide the information you want. Then once you establish a baseline, you create a two way street of value.
The point is, in the US most seafood at the store is at least $15/lb. Beef (depending on cuts) is as little as $3/lb. Chicken and pork are typically cheaper than beef.
If it were to use a dictionary that defines a large subset of domain names and common strings found in URLs it could reduce the size somewhat more, but still seems too long to be viable. What might be more interesting is an Ethereum approach to URL shortening that is distributed amongst the Internet.

Other than the vacation and parental leave time spans, which is mostly gov't law in many cases and not the company, that is pretty close to what it is in the USA.
Similar story. I learnt how to code because I wanted to become a hacker. Somewhere along the way... I learnt that it was far more satisfying [and legal] to actually make things rather than just break them.
A very large number of patents also protect Windows and its component parts and methods such as the file system; when other OSes have tried to be compatible in any way, Microsoft has demanded and gotten royalties, for example from Android phones.
Hassle-free computing. That's the appeal - all of the power and functionality with none of the hassles.

* Not forced to upgrade

* Yet can upgrade when I want to

* Don't have the antivirus crap to contend with

* Don't have a bunch of trial ware installed

* You can reasonably expect an 7-10 year lifespan with
performance being just like the day you first brought it home

* Time capsule

* Time capsule + migration assistant means I now have a computing environment spanning over a decade. And it works as well as it did on day one.

* Keychain. Add it to iCloud and password management is a thing of the past.

* Effortless photo/music syncing amongst myriad of devices.

* Logic Pro/GarageBand. Great for amateur musicians and much cheaper than what's available on Windows for the same features.

* Unix. Home-brew is a great package manager.

Obviously these don't apply to everyone. But these are the reasons I like MacBooks and iPhones. Other people love their Android phones and Windows machines. C'est la vie.
