Whaaaambulance is on its way now.

This is an opt-in behavior- you have to require the necessary modules before it gets added to your app.

I like where DHH is going with this. Hopefully it will work equally well on JRuby.
On the other hand, if they didn't spread themselves thin (and often into countries which don't actually need Uber), they likely wouldn't have received the amount of funding they have, and they'd be a more reasonably-sized competitor to Lyft.
I found out some old documentation introducing generics to C# 2.0 (source: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms379564(v=vs.80).a...) where it is said, that <T> stands for "Type" (as you said in your question).

I also looked at Scala's documentation and found out the following: "Generic classes take a type as a parameter within square brackets []. One convention is to use the letter A as type parameter identifier, though any parameter name may be used." (source: http://docs.scala-lang.org/tutorials/tour/generic-classes.ht...).

Hope it helps.

That might change later this year when they roll out current accounts but for now it's just simple prepaid/travel debit card with mobile app.

This needs an explanation why the requests are so expensive.

39M Requests for $370/Month is an order of magnitude more expensive then the average web application.

I read through the article and it did not give any explanation except that it hints at a big database: "database had grown to store a massive slice of the internet".

Without actual numbers and a description of the workload, it's hard to say if the described solution is good or bad.
Laptops are mature tech and smartphone are becoming that too.
We are to the point where refinement won't attract customers. That's because all companies will eventually make close enough products so that price will become the differentiating factor. And the last thing companies want is a price war.

And they want you to continue buying their stuff too. They won't have it with products that just work.

I don't think domain specific packs are very useful for language learners. You need a rather large vocabulary just to follow a normal everyday conversation. Basic conversation and reading skill are the foundation upon which you can build. You need to consume and produce a large amount of material in your target language if you want to master it.

Buying the language a few hundred words at a time won't get you to fluency as quickly as learning words by frequency until you have covered the most frequent ~80%. Only then does it make sense to focus on specific domains that are most interesting to you.
Once you have access to someones banking account you can typically make small transfers (up to ~£200) without second-factor authentication. So if your service get's breached attackers will have potentially the means to extract real cash through mules or wreck havoc.

Asking for credentials is no go whatever the bank is. There are ways to get some feeds even now but that requires signing some papers. Besides, I don't want to shoot down the service because this is genuinely a useful service (if it wasn't for the scrapping) but the best way to solve this problem is for banks to implement their own APIs with proper access controls that make sense in the context of the bank and the account.
Is that really a fitting metaphor, though? Because the Eye of Sauron never stopped anyone from going into Mordor or from going on with their own business. It just looked ominious. Whereas HN submissions actually crash the websites they're pointing to.

What you call moochers, I call customers: please don't ignore the value of consumption in a market capitalist system. If I intend to prosper I need to come up with a way to sell those people something, and your 'moochers' might be the only people with time on their hands to investigate value and serve as watchdogs for abuses. Also, they'd have time to learn new things and invent new stuff. Don't underestimate the ingenuity of moochers! People get bored and think up things when they're left just sitting around. Perhaps not all of them, but it's still an important mechanism.
Is it really that simplistic? I would guess many wouldn't vote for cheaper coverage for them if it means that their parents/children/close friends lose coverage.

(Which is why politicians are so busy denying that anyone will lose coverage under their plans.)

My first thought why choose C#? The CLR supports floating point. Problematic if you want deterministic execution. Which you do for a smart contract. How would you deal with the halting problem?
It wouldn't surprise me if it wouldn't stand up in court either. Short of having a huge banner that says "WE WON'T ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSSES IF YOU USE ARE SERVICES, TYPE 'I AGREE' TO CONTINUE" I imagine someone could probably claim that the risks weren't sufficiently highlighted.

There's a reason every investment-related advert has to state that "The value of your investment may go down as well as up", etc.

What kind of mental gymnastics are you doing. I am asking you, do you support illegal immigration, it's a yes or no question.
Nice quote from one of the links on this page:

I think 'to be a nitpicker' is one of those irregular verbs: I am a purist, you are a pedant, they are a bunch of nitpickers.
I think that cause and effect might be backwards - people only ever lay out the large upfront expense to build density when the land becomes valuable enough. And that only happens when people are clamoring to live in the same area.

If you then refuse to build up, it makes the affordability much, much worse.
Well, given enough effort, a person actually passionate about his work is indistinguishable from a person just faking it, which is also indistinguishable from a person who just does whatever - but for whatever reason is curious enough to try and get to the bottom of it.

Can't say that you can really tell what's on his mind.

To add to your comment, from what I know of the independent watch industry, it's exceedingly difficult to branch off on your own as a watchmaker and survive long term. Those apprentices need salaries after all. It seems to take not just incredible technical and artistic ability, but a knack for business and entrepreneurship as well. In addition, the independent watchmaking brands tend to have so much of their prestige wrapped up in their namesake's persona, rightfully so in my opinion, that it makes it difficult for them to survive once they are no longer able to lead the company.

Also, I believe that even amongst the highest echelons of independent watchmakers, few are able to survive on their brand alone and rely heavily on either restoration work, work for larger more established brands, or a combination of the two. Even guys like Dufour and Voutilainen, two of the most respected independents in the watch world, partake in outside work for the big brands like Patek, VC, and AP.

If anyone is interested this is a post on a fairly recent visit to Beat Haldimann's workshop[1]. One of my favorite articles on these kinds of visits is from 2006 and involves a visit to the home/atelier of a former French kickboxing champion turned watchmaker[2].

Do you really think that someone passionate about work is indistinguishable from someone "faking it" after 40 years? I can't imagine doing what I would consider a mundane task for even 5 years straight at regular work hours. 20+ years and I think you would be able to distinguish someone who's doing it for the money and someone who's passionate about the task.
I believe the time has come for an independent institute to track AI and Big Data technology applications and begin creating guidelines for both industry self-certification and regulation. The other paths available, ignoring it, fearmongering about it, and trying to fit it into other political movements, do not seem to me to be heading towards an acceptable outcome.

It has to be a technology-heavy group, otherwise it won't create much value. It also has to be grounded in history, philosophy, and political science, otherwise it'll just be reactionary. And we have enough reactionary groups already.

Moochers looking for fun ways to spend their free money.

(it boggles my mind how often people see an artificial consumer class as some kind of money sink into which the 'good' people dump their hard earned dollars. This is madness. What you're looking at in that event is a money ocean made up of would-be customers you just aren't selling to yet, and handled properly it's a titanic resource for anybody who DOES want to provide value and be compensated. You can't get paid unless there's people out there with liquid resources who are free to pay you if they like your stuff.)

That's Jiro of "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiro_Dreams_of_Sushi

An excellent documentary.

Worth watching if only to see that learning to fry a good omelette with Jiro's approach apparently takes a couple of years. Though it probably has more to do with the "never complain" part rather than perfecting the actual cooking skills.
There have been advances in economic planning since the time of the USSR, even during the time of the USSR research was being done on technocratic planning systems, however they were never realised, partially due to lack of sufficient hardware and Soviet bureaucracy. For a good read on modern methods, take a look at Paul Cockshott's Towards a New Socialism in which he proposes calculation in kind paired with linear programming methods.

It's worth noting that the USSR's model was also ridiculously inflexible, and the whole idea of a "5 year plan" probably sounded silly back then too.
Ah, just found the deck settings and corrected this. Thanks. I've played around a bit more and have some further feedback.

Something that is really key for me: When I create cards, sometimes I want the audio to play on the front, sometimes on the back (and perhaps sometimes both). But there is just one audio value and I need to decide whether I want it to play on the front or the back across the entire deck.

For example, card 1:
FRONT: Text says "écureuil", audio reads out "écureuil"
BACK: Text says "écureuil", audio reads out "écureuil", and there's a picture of a squirrel

That's good for vocab comprehension, but what if I want the converse exercise?

Card 2:
FRONT: Picture of a squirrel
BACK: Text says "écureuil", audio reads out "écureuil", and there's a picture of a squirrel

At the moment there's no way for me to create both cards at once. I would need two separate decks because it's one template to a deck. And I would need to make the card twice.

I realise this is jumping ahead to 'power user' territory but it's definitely a feature I would use.
Interesting! I'd be interested in better understanding the motivation behind Orthodox C++. In particular, you seem to dump most of the C++ standard library:

"Don't use anything from STL that allocates memory, unless you don't care about memory management."

I now mostly avoid templatization in my own code unless there's a really good reason. But the standard library often lets me avoid explicit memory allocation. Would love to hear more about the motivation for this (and other aspects of your C++ usage).

Also, if you have a demo of the engine in use that would be fun to see!
> Also, your definition applies to physics as well.

Um.... I think that it looks like that a lot of what maths does is shared with physics, but I think (I could be wrong) that it's mostly because physics has adopted the language of mathematics.

That having been said, there is an aspect where they are definitively different. Physics is motivated by the understanding of the physical world. For instance a physics theory gets dropped when we discover that we mis-observed whatever it was meant to explain. This doesn't happen in maths. The theories in maths (here defined as axiomatic structures) do not need to align with the natural world and get studied for other reasons than because they would increase the understanding of the natural world. Such understanding may eventually happen, but was not the motivation factor.

What do you think ? :)
Whataboutism. The stronger argument is "So basically the White House should be treated with the same regard?" but the answer is still "We shouldn't give them a pass either. That's a non sequitur."
Maybe I'm not normal but I'd rather write 30 lines of readable and debugable code than use a regex.

You think the tech leads that lead their best practice ops & a/b test teams should have been somehow doing something to counter amazon.com/handmade or should have been telling Product not to bother with the non-core products the article mentions?

I don't see how the 2 are related, 'focusing on the wrong things' seems like a huge oversimplification. Your post reads like schadenfreude. 'They thought they were so smart with their best practice ops ...".
I'd wager it's the pre-existing culture of Silicon Valley that attracts startups. Kind of like a tech Mecca, it's got a magnetic pull based on "if you want to succeed you need to be based here". With VCs etc operating out of there it does actually become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

As to the blockchain and ICO model, the problem is the current lack of regulation, leaving the burden of research to the buyer. I expect this will change relatively soon (places like New York, India and Singapore are already trying to introduce legislation regarding this) and then we might see more of an uptick, but you still need to get people out of the almost 40 year old mindset now that "Silicon Valley is where startups have to be to make it big".

Not an easy task I'd say.

No. They damaged the move forward with self driving cards by putting them on roads before they were ready and without permission and breaking the law. Not to mention the part about how it's all using stolen tech.
Let's not forget that, however you frame it, he might have done all that by exploiting the worst traits of digital capitalism. I.e. they found the cleverest way to keep the revenue flowing (and maybe profits, one day) while getting rid of those pesky liabilities called means of production, all with appalling levels of capital concentration and lack of redistribution.

But those are jobs where personal contact matters, and that's not easily automated. By all means automate the hard/annoying/disgusting parts that can be automated, but still add people for the personal touch.

Today, due to the low amount of money we're willing to spend on care, and the high demands and pressure on the people providing that care, people who care for elderly and sick people often don't have the time for personal contact, often to their own frustration. So let's automate everything else so people have more time for real contact.

Making Money as a Digital Nomad?
Usenet was not historically real-time because of several things:

1. There were a lot of servers.

2. The servers were not arranged in an optimal network.

3. The network was full of cross links, many of which made no topological sense.

4. Not every server carried all newsgroups.

5. There were a lot of users, who read a lot more than they write.

6. Binary messages (when carried) grew to huge sizes (for the time).

7. Network links were very slow by today's standards.

8. Disks were slow, small and expensive by today's standards.

9. Every ISP felt it had to provide free Usenet service, but few of them did it well.

With modern hardware, Usenet could be as close to realtime as you expect email to be -- dominated by people's attention and writing speed. And carried over TLS, of course.
There are many types of automata, but if your description of "automata" includes phrases like "when the VM forked" I'm guessing that you're doing something pretty different to what we're doing. :-)

In our normal execution model, we also can't have a stack. Hyperscan is not allowed to go get more memory at run-time nor is it allowed to grab more storage proportional to the size of the input.

When we had a capturing prototype, we broke a lot of these rules (you needed either O(N) or O(lg(N)) side storage). We never had something that entirely fit our normal strictures and still did capturing; we couldn't do it in streaming mode either. We had something that could exactly simulate what you'd get with libpcre in terms of capturing and quantifiers as long as you could live with block mode and some limits on scan size dictated by our side storage use. The main problem? It was complex, and we didn't have a customer for it (this was back when we were a startup).

The "Fathead" movie was an informative albeit corny movie that mentioned Gary Taubes findings.
Abuse of power is absolutely an issue for a fully automated society. Ultimately, somebody is in control.

Take the current political situation in the US. Trump would love for everybody to blindly obey him. His autocratic goals are frustrated by the fact that government is made up of people who are able to resist the government they are part of if they believe it's going wrong. Without those people, Trump could count on the obedience of the literal machinery of government. Having people involved can be an extra layer of protection against abuse.

Snoozed in America, Woken up in India – thoughts on designing for time zones
I see he has a copy of "Watchmaking" by George Daniels. That is the "Knuth" of watchmaking.

Here in Britain, we have Roger W Smith, the only watchmaker in the world who makes everything by hand. He was the principal disciple of George Daniels, a truly legendary watchmaker, who sadly died a few years ago.

Daniels famously taught himself watchmaking by taking apart old clocks, putting them back together and repairing them when he was young. If he had been born in the digital age, he'd have been a hacker comparable to Woz.

He didn't just make his own watches, he also made all the specialised tools needed. These days he is perhaps best known for the Daniels Co-Axial Escapement found in some Omega watches, which for many years was believed to be impossible to make.

If you google Roger Smith, he has lots of interesting videos on Youtube showing various parts of the watchmaking process from raw materials.

There are a few interviews with George Daniels too. Here's one talking about his first complete, from scratch watch:
