I'm fairly new to this whole Javascript development game. I got involved in brown field development in a hobby project and I am blown away by how far Javascript development has come.

Like I say, I'm new to this area so don't have much of a frame of reference but `npm` is nothing short of brilliantly neat, and hassle free.

With regards to the different language varieties `babel` sorts all that out - you can use your flavour of JS as you see fit and it all gets compiled to orthodox cross-browser JS.

Seriously pleased with what these features provide to the development environment.
I'd heard about them allowing heterogeneous clusters ahead of time and I was wondering how that would work. Private L2s should do it, you really need to design the L2 to match the profile of the supported CPU(s) but with L3 the latencies are higher and there's less need to be specialized.
Then I would like to mention Clades (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1849623603/clades-the-e...) despite it being in pre-order status, atm.

Marc Rochkind's Advanced Unix Programming is a very approachable book that walks you through, among other things, writing a shell.

It's a good book, give it a read.
It's also very difficult to count "calories in". Pop quiz question: how many calories are there in a gram of fiber? If you answered zero, you are wrong. The correct answer is "nobody knows". Check the wikipedia article

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_fiber

"In some countries fiber is not listed on nutrition labels and is considered to provide no energy. In other countries all fiber must be listed and is simplistically considered to provide 17 kJ/g (4.1 kcal/g) (because chemically fiber is a type of carbohydrate and other carbohydrates provide that amount of energy). In the US, soluble fiber must be counted as 4 kcal/g (17 kJ/g), but insoluble fiber may be (and usually is) treated as not providing energy and not mentioned on the label."

Start by writing down the ideas you have. They don't have to be good. They just have to be written. The more you write down ideas, the better you will become at having ideas because once an idea is out of your head and down on paper there is no reason to keep turning it around in your mind and your mind can move on to another idea.

Good luck.
The output per sq meter at 12.6W seems rather low compared to solar cells at 150-200 W/ sq meter when sunny. It's probably going to be easier to stick up a solar panel than a membrane contraption several times bigger.
Tractors and fertilizer inputs to the feed, of which only a fraction ends up in the meat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_conversion_ratio). Things like eggs and crickets are very efficient, with about 1/2 the feed energy ending up in the product.

For beef it is more like 10-15% of the feed energy.

Moving API Requests in React to Redux-Saga’s
I just count my breaths to 10 to stop the endless thoughts from coming up. 1 while breathing-in, 1 while breathing out, 2 - in, 2 - out, 3, 3, 4, 4, and so on until I reach 10, then I start over from 1 again. If you do this for long enough, at some point your brain will learn to do this automatically. If that's the case. Increase the difficulty. Count to to 10 then back to 1 then back to 10, etc... Or count in multiple languages. This helps me to put myself to sleep (to stop endless train of thoughts) all the time. Of course, sometimes, you need to think things through. You need to learn to recognise when this need is present and give yourself into the reflection. What's so good about this technique, is that even when I reflect on stuff, I know that whenever I notice that the reflection is no longer meaningful, I can just switch the thinking off anytime by using the technique... Hope this helps.

How is this a useful comparison?
It's 10kcals of ingested food per 1kcal of energy the hunter expends (not including e.g. the energy of the game).
By that measure, I'm super efficient cause I buy food at the supermarket, and don't really expend any energy for it.
That number has nothing to do with the second 1kcal/10kcal modern figure.
This is stupid. There is no such thing as working without morals, and you aren't going to have 'sanity' by asking engineers to adopt someone else's (also arbitrary) morals rather than their own.

Benchmarking AWS Cost
There's a lot of history to it - the Parallel Data Processing Group (PDP) in the '80s was at UCSD - the real problem is that we don't have curriculums in place outside the top tier institutions that lead to research success, at least at the rate they used to :-(
Actually, you are only dreaming this :-)

I'd be more specific and say that you can far more easily increase your body's wastefulness by strengthening your​ legs rather than your arms, because a given increase in muscle should be smaller percentage-wise. And lunges don't take any equipment (you've already got resistance, moreso if you're overweight.)

The benefit of osmotic power/salinity gradient power is that it's a base load. That means it will produce power at a constant rate, regardless of the time of day, which is one of the draw backs of the more common sources of renewable sources of energy (solar, wind, etc.)
Interestingly, the reverse as also very true: A simple and rather effective method to calculate a delaunay triangulation on a set of 2D points on a GPU is to actually calculate the according Voronoi diagram (discretely) into a texture (using jump flooding) and handling the edges between the cells[1][2].

The given temperature range tries to cover the optimal condition for a broad range of people. Optimal here means that below that many muscles that have to rest in the sleeping state are instead working to compensate the loss of heat (and with them also a bunch of neurons), above that you are kind of forced to move constantly to cool off by exposing the overheated parts of body. 15°C may be too cold for most, but it's ideal for overweight and obese people.

I think you're agreeing with me :)
You embarrass yourself by responding to parent's inane political jab. It's pure signalling, without any hint of substance to contradict.

Short term memory variation is very obvious to me when coding. And as the GP mentioned, reflex variation can be obvious when playing FPS games.
My take on this is that there are two factors contributing to this, and they neatly fall upon the boundaries of the two major app ecosystems. I think these issues are fixable, and I think big inroads have been made in the second.

Firstly, the Apple ecosystem, or the iOS ecosystem really - putting aside the Mac Appstore for now - is fraught with overhead and bureaucracy. Bootstrapping as a developer is relatively expensive given you need to have a modern mac of some sort and you have to pay a subscription which I think cuts off some of the hobbyists. Then once you're rolling, the amount of red tape involved in testing, releasing, updating etc really is shocking. I'm involved in a project where we support an App for both Android and iOS and really, 90% of the work on the Apple end is managing all this bureaucracy. This is massively expensive, and when asked for recommendations on another project I said "develop for Android first and then hire an agency to port it to iOS". The amount of messing involved really makes this a specialist competency like Solicitors' conveyancing or something and it really doesn't make sense having your innovation team waste their effort on it.

Secondly then is the lack of quality control in the Android ecosystem. Aside from a few established titles, the Play-store really is a crap-shoot in terms of whether you'll get a good app in a specialist area or somebody just chancing their arm. Like I say this has come along a good bit, but in my Android devices I often just skip on Apps entirely because I really can't be sure whether I'm installing something dodgy or not.

I do appreciate the irony that each ecosystem's strengths derive from the what I pose as its weaknesses i.e. bureaucracy => better quality app store; open submission process => lack of quality control. As both a producer and a consumer however, I am just highlighting what I see as the key issues that are limiting growth. It must be said I see ongoing improvements in the second area though, but increasing impediments in the first.

For the fixed wakeup time:

1. What do you do if in a situation where you'll get a low amount of sleep. Nap mid day?
2. What about social stuff? I'd love to get up at 8 am most days, but then any social event in the evening throws that off.

Naps might fix the latter, but I have trouble napping due to onset insomnia. Unless I'm extremelt fatigued.
For some reason, it's usually a faraway landlocked province that triggers unification. Not the rich and coastal ones.

Building Your Design Portfolio: 10 Dos and Don’ts
William Dement gave a Google Tech talk on September 23, 2008. Dement recalls that Randy Gardner who stayed awake for 11 days in 1964, when asked some 40years later "would you do this again?" he replied "No way would I do this again" [0]

Very interesting from Dement's talk is that equilibrium daily average sleep for completely health young adults is 8:15 ± 50min [1]. Most people I meet contest these results and state that they can work optimal with less than 7h25m daily sleep.

This is one of those "well why didn't I think of that?" moments. It seems awesome and I hope it pans out.

But really, I came here to comment on the odd phrase I found in an image caption: "...synthetic freshwater or seawater..."
I don't think I've ever heard (seen?) anyone refer to anything water-based as "synthetic" simply because the impurities were added by a human instead of by a riverbed.
My experience with Melatonin is that about 1.5 mg per night is a game changer. I travel across the Pacific Ocean several times per year and it got to where I was a stick of dynamite temper wise for a week after each trip, just not able to cope with any irritations, due to Jetlag. On top of that, just the general stress of being an entrepreneur resulted in bad sleep. For some reason, I bought the melatonin, and I'm very glad I did it. Now, I sleep like I did when I was in elementary school. Lots of dreams and even wake up with solutions to problems that I went to bed thinking about.
Like C# then?
It's not the end of the app economy, it's just the app economy is in the long tail mode now. Every obvious app that's going to have wide appeal has already been created. Now it's about filling in the niches. Though there's fewer users in the market for a niche app I'd wager they'd be much more willing to pay for it - so paradoxically there may be more money to be had in these niche apps. For example, I'm a musician and I'll drop $10 on a niche app without batting an eye.

Mark Hibberd gave a great talk at Yow! LambdaJam this yeah on writing mundane code in Haskell, with a tutorial on writing a shell. The code can be found on https://github.com/markhibberd/xsh and the talk should be on YouTube in the near future (I hope).
Yep, what the sibling comment said. In practice, I've gotten great results with this machine with 50μm step in the Z axis, although yes, my X and Y axes are limited to 400μm.

Wow, this is so cool - seeing the place I work at on HN.
I know this is a joke, but I wonder if this concept - a gym where the machines generate power - actually could be a thing.

It's greener in a pleasantly 'immediate' way - i.e. you could quite literally be keeping the lights, music system, etc on at the gym :-) And what's more, assuming power costs are a non-trivial overhead, it could even result in lower membership fees.

If somebody opens a gym like this, sign me up!
It's not about (1) other languages having trouble as well, and (2) it sure as hell is not about JS being very popular.

It's about this: I wrote a module for my project, I want to import it in my project and everywhere else where it might be useful, in one, SINGULAR way, which doesn't change for at least 18 months, please. I'd like to be able to write ES 2016/2017 and not caring how it gets compiled to ES5; can't you people just finally agree on one way of doing things?

You people who mostly (or exclusively) code JS simply don't understand that many of us code in 5+ languages every week and we want to be productive.

If I have to read on a new standard and a new and shiny way of managing dependencies every 8-10 weeks and if you think that's okay, then you seem to fail to grasp how unproductive this is. For you it might be a full-time job. For me, and many others, it's a distraction because we have to do a lot of stuff in several languages and we'd much appreciate it if the JS folk would just calm the hell down for a bit.

> Plain Javascript is just fine, especially with the improvements of ES6.

With React pushing hard to use JSX and discontinuing the in-browser JSX-to-JS transformation step, this is no longer completely true. You have to introduce the tooling from the start. (Yes, technologically you are not forced to use JSX and can use JS, but this is clearly declared as unwanted in the React ecosystem.)

The More Things Change, the More They Are the Same (1993)
FWIW I wrote a pretty complete shell in ~11K lines of Python:

Right now the goal is to clone bash but have better parse time and runtime errors. I hope to make an initial release this summer. But the project is much larger (see the blog if interested).
1) Mono-region is a feature not a bug. Regulatory requirements, citizenship requirements, the ability to not have a single global point of failure, etc. are all huge benefits to the regional breakdown as it stands today. Nothing prevents you from deploying multi-region.

2) IAM is effectively global. Route53 is effectively global. AWS 'has the technology', they've just chosen a different engineering stance than Google, and are very up front about that.
You're a solid writer. I really liked the blog post.

Your definition of success happens to align with mine. I have "enough" right now, and I'd be really happy to work less and maintain my current income level - I just haven't yet been able to pull away from the corporate life. Eventually.

Anyway, had to ask, the one gap seems to be health insurance. I know you mentioned a cheap major medical policy, but what are folks doing to cover their families a little more comprehensively? At least in the US, this is the one big thing that makes it really hard to leave corporate life. I'm fortunate enough to have dual citizenship with a european country, so we could "just" relocate there, but ideally we'd do this while staying resident in the US. I still haven't solved the insurance issue.

>>> The real question is: is there enough market demand for global services? I know on paper, yeah, there is, but how many can pay for it?

Yes. The world is full of international companies and services that span across the globe. They have money to pay whatever they want.

The issue, so far, has only been the tech.

Let's say one makes a random app coupled with a database, say mysql and php => mysql doesn't work across datacenters, It's not going worldwide. End of story.

There are very few systems than can span across datacenters.
Unless a project was explicitly architectured for it, it probably can't because of it's technical choices.

Google is the evolution. All the tech is worldwide. You develop as usual and it comes out of the box.

Then skip the counting and just focus on your breathing (shikantaza). If that also is too much to focus on, do it for 20 minutes or so and then just try to sleep the regular way. Hopefully your brain wont be monkey minding as much as it did before the excercise.

For internal projects that's absolutely the right approach. However, once you go around the net and see how people are laughing at Google for their "bazillion chat apps", then you understand that they use the same approach for their public projects, and that's just being inefficient on their part. And damages their brand and name.
