You are allowing speech on your internet to be arbitrated by a bunch of big corporations. There is no reason to think that's going to go well in the long run. There are about a thousand special interests each with their own agenda that want something blocked. There is already huge pressure to remove ISIS content. It puts these companies in an untenable situation if they take down the nazi content, but leave up ISIS recruiting and terror bombing videos. We've already seen the Syria War crime video fiasco, so I think there is slippery slope already happening.

Finishing up a project at work with Vue right now, and I gotta say it's really excellent to work with. Way more intuitive than some other frameworks out there.
Author here: I use the same WIFI modem in the post on my 1000 as I do my 2000 (I have 4 different Amiga models). I have to remove the gender-changer but other than that it's super easy.

On the 2000 I just have to put the 64Door term disk in df0: and flip on the power. Within ~30-45 seconds I'm on the 64 BBSes. But the null-modem cable is an awesome way to go as it literally costs nothing... besides the cost of the cable. I find the modem approach, though, is more seamless of an experience with most term software.

Just to clarify, I 100% support judicious use of what we know about nutritional science today.

I also happen to think that Soylent is definitely not a wise application of our current knowledge. The sophomoric notion that we already understand nutrition well enough to create a full fledged meal replacement with everything that the body requires is false, misleading, and highly irresponsible.

From their front page:

> Protein, carbohydrates, lipids, and micronutrients: each Soylent product contains a complete blend of everything the body needs to thrive.

The micronutrients claim in particular invites scrutiny -- we definitely don't know yet whether we've succeeded in identifying every micronutrient that the body needs for survival, much less to 'thrive'.

I mean, they actually sickened a whole bunch of people with some algae powder ingredient, not realizing it would be problematic ahead of time. If they can't design a food product that avoids acute illness, why should you have confidence that they have something that is safe and healthy to use long term?
You can get plenty of nice apartments in $3k range. I don't understand why he has to have roommates if that's not a personal preference.
They need to establish a policy for 3 or 4 or 5 generations from now. Like the us government allowing old census data but not new.

As a genealogy fan with known roots spanning centuries, at some point there no longer is any connection or feeling to a ggggf or gggg aunt.

I absolutely CRAVE to learn what life was like for my family. Why did one uncle hunt and send birds eggs overseas? Or one gggggm rode horseback to come to aid revolutionary soldiers? What battle?

Facebook probably will just be an archive 120 years from now. But a extreme long term policy will assist future genealogists. Something like "after 80 years past the death, all fb related data is available." after 25 years its available to direct line descendants.
Not ridge, that was popularised by Hoerl and Kennard (1970). However, the method of augmenting the diagonals of the X'X matrix (ridge regression) was studied by Tikhonov in the early 40's as a method for solving ill-posed problems.

I believe Hastie has done lots of work on LASSO/L_1 norm related regularization methods and algorithms though.
Android? Ugh!

What's with all the hardware worship, while totally ignoring the software? Hardware is cheap, low-hanging fruit. If you're going to push technology boundaries, try a more interesting, forward looking OS to start with.

Both Sailfish and QNX really are 'arcane' and 'futuristic'. Android apps can run alongside Sailfish, so why aren't these glitzy manufacturers aiming just that little bit higher?
Actual messages you can send to get referred into a tech company
I've known a few people go through this. One product was something that detected when someone hasn't moved in bed for a period of time. This can be used to prevent bedsores.

They found the regulatory environment absolutely crippling. After banging their head against the wall too long, they eventually gave up.

I'd say going with an experienced incubator/mentor/etc in this space would be a great idea. https://rockhealth.com/ is one good example. They can give you access to health care companies, networks, mentors, etc.
Silk Road: Google Search Unmasked Dread Pirate Roberts
> I personally don't see any advantage with incognito mode unless you want to hide porn from your spouse,...

This is a very naïve view of what incognito/private browsing mode is for. Tor (not Torbrowser) is very different from incognito/private browsing. Even for your own use, it's another layer of defense to reduce the storage of information on the device about whatever you've been up to. Certainly porn is not the only topic that can polarize people and have them assume things about you. We live in a world where even tiny things can be taken out of context, manipulated and used against us either by the people close to us, or the places we work for, or even the government. You may share a device with someone or allow someone to borrow it. You may have your device stolen while having minimal or no passcode or other protection (like encryption of data stored). There are many layers to look at to be secure enough.

The way I see it, you're putting yourself more at risk if you do not distinguish what requires private/incognito mode (it could even be Facebook), how often you should clear things up (like browsing history, caches) on your device/computer, etc.
I mean Facebook should treat the account as part of the estate, to be controlled by whoever controls the estate. If you're the heir of all their miscellaneous property, that would mean you get to prove that to Facebook and they hand over the account to you.

Maybe Facebook doesn't want to deal with the messy papers and signatures involved in that.
I'm a strong proponent of free speech, including abhorrent speech, but capricious removal from the platform stores doesn't offend me. On Android, it's not hard to install apks from websites. On iPhone, it's a lot harder, but iPhone is a minority of the market, and Apple has made a point of curating their store to some degree, I simply don't expect them to accept everything and they are inconsistent, too; but even old iPhones have enough economic value to trade for an Android, if the owner decides they don't like the aesthetic choices Apple has made with their app catalog.

This feels significantly different than refusing to register a domain, or even refusing to host objectionable content. As a user, I expect app stores to perform some sort of judgement about apps, and not simply allow any app that is not unlawful.
OpenShift is also an acquisition (OpenStack is not). [1]

What you say makes sense, but then Docker is also coming 10-12 years late to the game, and until it's profitable and has money in the bank it's hard to do many expensive acquisitions.

If the goal were to get rid of software patents, why don't all the large tech companies just band together and lobby against allowing patents for software? (more like Europe) This looks more like a sneaky trick by Facebook.
So where was the peril for the first century, with slavery and blacks not guaranteed the rights stated in the document? Or the fifty years after where women couldn't vote? The imprisonment and killing of leftists during the red scares and other labor movements? The imprisonment of a hundred thousand innocent civilians during WWII?

The experiment has survived two hundred years of bigotry, if it can't handle private companies choosing not to help racists it isn't worth continuing.
> So just use something else! Oh, wait, you want to check your official university e-mail? That's provided by Google now. Oh, wait, you wanted to check city transit information? That's provided by Google now.

Google's own policies prevent it from doing data mining on GSuite accounts, like official email provided by Google in universities or companies or businesses. I'm sure other providers have similar policies as well. Unless you don't trust Google even a bit, your comparison on the email provider point is useless. I prefer separating things out and examining them instead of combining everything into one single worrisome name.
Microsoft has tremendous resources, it's definitely costlier to build a great desktop UI than a great Web UI

What? Let's not rewrite history. I has been easy and cheap to create desktop UIs for decades, literally. I was using Borland Delphi 1.0 as a 13 year old and could have a basic Windows UI app up and running in ten minutes.

There have been many great cross-platform and platform-specific toolkits that are easy to use. E.g. you can teach someone with some Python knowledge how to make basic Qt desktop applications in one hour or so. It's literally as simple as dragging some widgets to a window and writing some lines of wrapper code.

I recommend anyone who thinks that developing applications using web UIs is easier/cheaper to look at some Delphi 1.0 videos. E.g.:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_3K_0vjUhk

This was how we developed desktop applications 22 years ago on machines with 4 or 8 MB RAM. And it is still a whole lot easier and more efficient than a web app.
Ever heard of K?
You lose the license granted in the PATENTS file, but you might not lose the license granted in the LICENSE file. (IANAL, so no idea whether that's true.)
Awesome shots!
Indeed, Docker on OS X is actually running virtual machines through xhyve.
> You are allowing speech on your internet to be arbitrated by a bunch of big corporations.

I disagree. First, Apple and Google are refusing to host a particular app in their stores. But on the subject of hosting, there many thousands of web hosts, many in places that probably wouldn't care about serving such content. The oppressed literal Nazis can pick any one of those, but I think it's ludicrous to expect that any particular provider should be expected to serve it. Even if they're big and popular. Maybe especially then.

Suppose Google were an Israeli company. I'd like to think we could all agree it would be unreasonable to call on them to demand they help disseminate literal Nazi content. Google and Apple aren't Israeli, but I don't think that makes it OK to insist they go along with it.

And ultimately neither company is saying that you can't go find that information on your own, even using the browsers they provide. They're just saying they're not going to cooperate to make it easier and more convenient. I can't think that's a bad thing.

That's a lot of money for a static compiler.
Evidently you are under the impression that argument by authority has some merit. It does not. His qualification to comment remains as with anybody else, the quality of the actual arguments and the nature of any supporting evidence that he puts forward on a particular subject.
Make a name for yourself in some industry. The last time I looked for a job (around age 39), I sent out an email newsletter to about 9,000 subscribers and got back serious job offers in seven countries. I was sponsored by a company and immigrated to Austria on a work visa for technical workers. I would have gotten permanent European residence after five years, but returned to the SF Bay Area before that. There are ways to do it.
React Router v4 is dead simple: https://medium.com/@pshrmn/a-simple-react-router-v4-tutorial...

It's just React components up and down.

Most of the concepts that you must learn with React have to do with understanding JavaScript. If you know JS, you know 80% of what you need to know.

What protection? The PATENTS takes rights away from Facebook, and gives rights to grantees. Facebook is in a stronger position without it. They added it to be nice.

Without patents file:

- Facebook can sue you for any reason, including react related patent infringement

- You have no patent grant for anything in react

- You can sue Facebook for anything, including patent infringement.

With patents file:

- Facebook can sue you for any reason, except for react related patent infringement

- you have a grant for any Facebook patents related to react

- You can sue Facebook for anything, including patent infringement of any kind. If you do sue them for patent related infringement, you lose the grant above (i.e. You are in same position as if there was no PATENTS file)

The Dotty compiler is going down the route you are looking for.
This is pure hyperbole. Mobile phones have these things called browsers where users can visit websites. Is having an app convenient? Yes, definitely. But in this case the lack of an app does not threaten the First Amendment.
danieldk's response sums it up quite nicely. I will add that around the same age I found Microsoft's own Visual Basic 6 and was doing stuff with it.

Additionally, Microsoft has their own framework similar to what QML offers: WPF. The problem with it is that it doesn't have cross platform support, something they wanted to have for VSCode.

It's all exhorbitantly easy to use. Cost is not the issue, specially since they already have a lot of really talented people working on VS Code.
Let's look at the bigger picture. First, in March some newspapers find an extremist video. It has ~14 views and YT advertising all over it. They make a a big deal out of it. As a result YouTube looses ad clients and tons of money.

Then, as a response, they make an alg. They don't want people to call them a "terrorist platform" ever again. Hence they take down the videos.

Now, this algorithm is hurting the bystanders. IMO the real problem is a public and business reaction to the initial event.

And this peace of news is an inevitable consequence.

If that were Facebook's goal, why wouldn't they just team up with a few other large companies and lobby for abolishing software patents in the US?
Now let's hope that we can start using these methods more in science instead of e.g. p-values.
Thank you for the nice feedback! The goal was to exactly to reduce complexity for non technical users so I'm happy to see that we succeeded at least partially. I'm the main developer btw :-)

I'd like at some point to add wiki functionality, but I'd like to avoid the "do it all a little, fail a little at everything" problem.

Since users can add links and files, it is always possible to add a link to an etherpad or google doc (yes...)

If you need help to set it up or anything, github issue queue / mail are your friend
Almost all, if not all functionality on their front page is available in Newton email client(s) today. Of course, their main claim, speed is what should set them apart. All the others are not really things that would turn me over. Gmail, Newton (exchange work client) are clean enough. Newton has all other features as superchargers. One thing that I miss in superhuman is integration with Evernote, todoist, you name it. They don't talk about it (or I missed it). Also, for a super clean interface that landing page is not the example I hope.

P.s. I hope it will not be exactly like Gmail and have their own email domains. [Name]@superhuman.com is even less professional than Gmail. It's borderline unusable.
I've had this thought very often, and (using your comment as motivation) I think I might use this weekend as an opportunity to try hacking something together. Maybe even add SMS fallback using Twilio or something.

Stacktrace entries for emulator calls are coming on Erlang 21: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1478

This means that something such as 1/0 should include the line where the error happened in IEx and in general.

Regarding the error messages, the reason why you have two reports is because there are two processes failing! The task fails, leading to the logger report, and then it causes the evaluator process to fail, causing it to be report an error as well.

Regarding configuration, it is not at compile time, but the config.exs itself is read when the escript is built. You can change it at any time though by calling Application.put_env, so there is no need for a GenServer. I know exactly where to improve the docs for this one.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I have an idea on how to improve many of those. I will do some of that and get back to you later.
This sentence was a bit a joke. But not completely, because in activists circles some people will definitely not want to be on facebook, so giving them a more neutral tool you manage and host might help gather more users. The contrary is true too, since almost everyone is on facebook.

I also wanted to put "Even your grandma can use it". I know for sure that my grandma would not have had a facebook account :-)
Because Google has an agenda, I think perhaps that colours my judgement.

We are Creating a web Startup which is based on a Online Marketplace like Olx. It will include lots of improvements in both UI and Functionality.

Languages designed for safety-critical realtime applications do just that. Well, they don't use proofs as proofs generally have a bad cost/benefit ratio (even for sequential programs), but they do use temporal logics that easily deal with concurrency, which they then verify mostly automatically. Temporal logics were introduced to CS in the late '70s, have resulted in at least two Turing awards, and have enjoyed some success in industry.

the jumbled up letters and words are readable, but the idea needs to be well known to the user (e.g., it's true that the kardashians are so well known that it's easy to convey the idea).

Not all products are really valuable to a middle man. From my insights regarding Amazon sellers, ~70% of the profit is made from ~5% of the products, and those are the products Amazon is taking away from them. If they then only have the low-profit items remaining, they aren't able to be profitably on Amazon anymore, unless they operate at significant scale - a scale that becomes very hard to grow to when Amazon is constantly taking away your means to do so.

and that's why there's apathy, because you cannot easily tell the difference between award winning and terrible (when the desire isn't to tell the truth, but instead manipulate the public opinion).

Unfortunately we do know how it turns out. The whole Shinawatra fiasco up until the coup shows how Thai democracy goes. I don't think anyone would call the years before the coup healthy.
That's a comedy show. If you rely on last week tonight for your news source, you're already in trouble.
They would have to sue on the basis that Preact and by extension all React-compatible APIs are in violation of their patent.

This would cause mass alienation in the community for little gain, and force many previously neutral parties to align against them for attacking a completely separate project.

And for little damage as well....

If we rewrote our sites to use React coming from Backbone, JQuery and Angular... it won't be too much of a hardship to rewrite our sites to no longer use React in the future. Heck considering the 5-year churn of JS frameworks, I'm already penciling in the rise of a new framework in 2022.

Nowhere in there does it say.. and by the way ALL corporations must ALSO allow freedom of speech. Their servers, their rules. The internet is about freedom and it goes both way -- you're free to say what you want and the site you post it to is free to remove that content if they deem it hurtful to others.

I've seen the inside of a court room a few times, it's really not my favourite past time. Maybe civil is more fun than criminal.

What I'm getting at is, wouldn't you rather go skiing, or hiking, or hanging out with friends or family. Or whatever your thing is.

Wouldn't you, at some point, just think "righteo, this ain't that fun, let's just agree to something already"? Or do these things take on a life of their own and sweep you away with them? Or are people really just that keen to prove how right they are?

Exactly. Although adding some kind of wiki feature might be an interesting idea. I'd like at least to add shortcodes/mentions everywhere so users can insert links to users, discussions, events and files (in every text field).

It's a hard to find a balance between ease of use and features.
