Makers, does EV3 offer any significant advantage in the world of ARM dev boards? When I was kid, I always wanted a mindstorm but couldn't afford one; now I can afford it but not sure whether it's worth the time for serious tinkering.

I understand that the brick interfaces and bootable OS from sd card makes EV3 special. The LeJOS from OP looks interesting, the community has worked hard to support java for these devices; probably because Java was very hot during late 90's. Now that EV3 is capable of running full fledged linux, python scene with mindstorm seems to be picking up as well.

Yeah. I remember reading about Dean Potter dying at Yosemite. For someone who had taken calculated risks his whole climbing career, it just seemed like such a reckless and dangerous way to go. Sad.

Expedia? The #1 Dark Patterns? Wow, this should end well.
Similar, however the space requirement to produce enough tobacco to satisfy the demand of a typical cigarette/cigar smoker is drastically larger than for marijuana.
I also imagine - not that I know much about the sport - that the uptake in popularity has both increased the number of people attempting the sport (likely without adequate skill), as well as people performing more risky manoeuvres in order to garner attention to themselves?
The number of excuses for node's poor performance here is shocking. Talk about high-level architectural concepts and quibble about the likelihood of this implementation being necessary if you like, but if you can't provide a decent implementation for this very basic use case, then node has a hole in it.
>and my self hosted, non evil, non JS ads were blocked again.

It's crazy that ad blockers would block self-hosted, non-js images ads, I mean, there's no tracking associated with it, it doesn't make any sense IMO

What kind of traffic allowed you to live of Adsense? Millions hits a day? Or very targeted traffic with high CPC maybe?
Isn't that not BASE jumping then?
No doubt. But there are huge qualitative differences between good and bad animal food, by and large reflected in the price, but higher price being negatable by buying in bulk.

Everything sold in supermarkets - at least where I live - is junk with a clear and immediate negative impact on health and wellbeing. Why anyone would feed that stuff to anybody is beyond my comprehension.
Having both made almond milk and purchased unsweetened almond milk (from the separate non-dairy milk section where it sells quite well) it's just fine. It doesn't need additives, though adding some vegetable gum, oil and emulsifier improves the texture.

Regular cow's milk is around 5% sugar as lactose (I think 4.8% is the typically standardised amount). Unsweetened almond milk has negligible sugar.

You can pilot a wingsuit from a plane or much higher, but most of the people that die wingsuit flying are proximity flying - which has way smaller margin for error and higher mortality rate.
Autonomous driving in the sense of door-to-door taxis is not going to happen in a timeframe remotely relevant to companies like Uber. Maybe in a few decades. Uber needs someone not betting on that.

Most garbage collection in Australia has a camera to inspect bin contents and catch people abusing the recycling system.

I hear you when you say the emergency all the time. I've been at that since our product launched. Now every issue that comes in is an emergency and there's no thought given to resolving it. The entire scope of what my company does has changed and no one trusts that it will stay the same as we're literally at the whim of upper management. We started playing buzzword bingo and it took a single internal email from the higher ups to hit bingo. Management at least seems to be trying to fix things on my side, but their priorities are driven by outside forces.
With Brexit, it seems this protest is largely meaningless.
Its safer than regular base jumping provided you don't try to strafe tree and hilltops and cliffsides. These jumpers are trying to do ever riskier stunts all for the clicks.

Also, it's much more labor and processing time intensive. It's not true that alcohol demand can be satifsfied in anywhere near similar space and labor requirements that marijuana demand can be.
"It's too bad DJB is so abrasive, because he has some good ideas and nobody will listen to him because of it." This came from someone fairly famous, but I didn't ask to quote him so I won't. His name is on a definitive book in his field.

Hmm, looking into radb via the following:

whois -h whois.radb.net '!iAS-GOOGLE,1' | head -n2 | tail -n1 | sed 's/ /\n/g' | xargs -n1 -i{} whois -h whois.radb.net '!oMAINT-{}' | tee google-radb

cat google-radb | grep '^route:' | grep -v '::' | sort | uniq | awk '{print $2}' | wc -l

yields 7762 announced unique IPV4 routes at least 10% of which (100% of checked routes) have a suitable reverse route query listed in radb via:

cat google-radb | grep '^route:' | grep -v '::' | awk '{print $2}' | shuf | head -n770 | xargs -n1 -i{} whois -h whois.radb.net '!r{},o' | tee google-radb.routesample.lookup | grep '^C' | wc -l

What are they announcing that's missing from information gathered there?

Edit: Hrmn... looking at http://thyme.rand.apnic.net data and comparing it with what google have registered in radb (among their various AS numbers)... they do indeed have a number of advertisements that are unregistered or are at least more specific than their registration (no exact match)

If you want to be literal about it then sure, it just means read-eval-print loop. But I think that's akin to saying that a functional programming language is a language that has functions in it.

EDIT: To be clear, what I'm saying is that when people say 'I really love using Common Lisp because it has a REPL' they aren't saying 'I really love using Common Lisp because it has a prompt I can write raw strings of code into that executes that code and has no other features'. That's not a lovable feature.

People love Lisp REPLs because there's much more to them than that. In Lisp, the REPL is more like GDB than it is like Python's REPL.

Not really sure why the reaction to my comments here is so viscerally negative. Very few terms that we use are wholly literal. REPL isn't literal either.
Maybe not, but it has the virtue of being their only chance of not running out of money in the next few years.
A taco shop is a nice thing to use as a frame, because there is no glamor around it to distract from the basic fundamentals of the exchange.
Canada-based Daiya makes a number of plant-based dairy-free cheese- alternatives, in a variety of forms, not just blocks but yoghurt and boxed mac-and-cheese.

It's popular among the vegans I know, and some of the better pizza restaurants (in SF) even offer it for vegan pizzas.

https://daiyafoods.com/
People are obviously not grossed out because it's called milk or because it's a white liquid. They're grossed out because of how the animals are treated. Or because they think diary production is principally wrong. Or maybe they just don't like the thought of drinking animal milk. Or simply don't quite like the taste. Maybe they're milk protein intolerant.

Or they're not grossed out at all. They just make the rational decision to not consume dairy because of the water, energy and food consumption of the dairy/meat industry. Or because of the greenhouse gas emissions.

What are you saying, if you don't want to contribute to the things mentioned above, you shouldn't be allowed to drink anything that remotely resembles cow milk?
Why not sell display ads that are relevant to your target audience? Use pay per impression instead of pay per click. (To the extent AdNauseum succeeds, pay per click won't pay well anyway)
Lactose free milk has been available for a long time, I drank it 20 years ago. It is hyperpasteurized though, which is kind of gross.

Anyway, I pour almond milk on cereal because I like cereal. It probably wouldn't be great on fruit loops, but it works nicely with granola and other nut based cereals.
Digg users didn't care when that site committed suicide. K5 users too moved on.

Myspace, anyone?

It's just a matter of time before reddit dies as well. Unlike google or facebook, there's not much value that a user can extract from reddit.

Google with all their services still provide value to users.

Facebook, despite their privacy issues, still provides something of value to their users.

What does reddit provide which can't be done by an alternative?
Yeah... the problem starts when you have owners or managers who think they can impose "vibe" rather than harness it where it emerges.
You mean typing speed? It's never been a problem for me.
Bill Nye sues Disney claiming it withheld $28M in profits from his show
They should start a credit card business. Rakuten did this to great effect in Japan. Use the credit card, get points you can use for Uber. Customer acquisition is as cheap as putting a signup form in the back of each car and incentivizing drivers to mention it.
Because the mechanism and it's purpose; namely, keeping track of time, is further complicated when doing something else.
I think the main selling point for the people actually buying the watches is the exclusivity and display of wealth they represent. To get a sense, you could have a look at this amusing parody article. It is a parody, but there are nonetheless a lot of people who think this way.

I mean, I dig the notion of the human experience being "analogue." But the human experience doesn't normally include spending twenty-plus years worth of a normal person's wages for a useless trinket to wear on your wrist. I'm really torn about this. The device is something amazing, but the cost is extravagant in the extreme.

This is absurd. If these patents are ever enforced, I hope the cannabis industry doesn't stop until they've destroyed this company, the people who run it, and anyone who associates with them. In a court of law or otherwise.

It is extremely fast. I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised by the runtime speed of OCaml if you're coming from interpreted languages, and by the build/tooling speed if you're coming from compiled languages. It really does hit a nice little sweet spot. :)
I know nothing about wingsuits -- how are they used from planes and helicopters?

I started using qmail in 1996-ish, and was a pretty big fan for a while.

I wouldn't use it at this point though, it really has languished and is, IMHO, totally unusable without a lot of dicking around to get the right set of patches and the like.

He kind of lost me when AOL increased their MX record to be larger than UDP could handle in a single packet. He stood firm that AOL was doing it wrong, meanwhile my users didn't care about what the RFCs said, they just wanted to e-mail their grandma like all their friends could.

The qmail community collected a lot of people with similar personalities and I got tired of it.

These days, I'm pretty happy with Postfix, and it has things a modern e-mail servers needs, supported in the core rather than requiring a ton of patches that haven't been eyeballed by the author.
I've seen this mentioned before, it seems to be the main point.

> Most beginners who die appear to be making variations of the exact same error, according to Webb. “They jump off a cliff, get flying, and for some reason there's just this human reaction to try to hug the air like a big, gigantic beach ball,” he explains. “By hugging air you feel as if you're creating or catching more lift than you actually are. What ends up happening is your suit can only grab so much air, and it starts to stall. When it starts to stall, it loses lift, starts to drag, and then, splat.
Cricket is quite cheap too. https://www.cricketwireless.com/
The price should be comparable to T-mobile, but they run on top of a different network (AT&T). Not sure which one is better though.
Why do people keep bringing this up? Mayer did exactly what she was brought into do: increase the value of the stock to make an exit out of a failure.

"The real winner here is Yahoo, which is receiving far more value for this asset than it is worth and has also managed to halve its exposure to liabilities that it should be fully on the hook for. ... It is not difficult to still see upside in the Yahoo share price. Marissa Mayer may have been terrible at executing on a digital ecosystem, but she seems to be a great salesperson."

There is an argument to be made for some sort of central backend store when you have multiple mail servers for the same domain(s) and users. SQL isn't terrible in that context (I would likely prefer LDAP for that, but SQL works, too).

Most of our users have one server, and lots of tutorials and stuff are about one mail server. It just makes no sense to add that huge amount of extra complexity for that simple use case.
This article is out of date.. Regardless, I love reading business press writing about the blockchain: the key takeaway for me is that the tech has a ways to go before many of these concepts are ready to be implemented at scale.

Making identity and personal information "self-sovereign" is necessary and a big area of focus for us. Would love to collaborate with others looking into this on the blockchain.
Maybe they know that starting your own business means trading 1 boss for n bosses.
I don't think it's all for the clicks, if it's like any other dangerous sport/hobby. It's for the rush you get doing it. The feel of being right on the edge.

It's an addictive feeling, and it can trick you, because you know it's dangerous but you're always come out of it fine, great even, until you don't.
One of the reasons "Blackphone" never took off at my company is the inability to have encrypted voice conversations in a conference call.

Has anyone seen this ability or service that is trust-able?
I like when you can type part of a line of code, press the up arrow, and have the REPL complete the line from history.
I would love a communications email from a company that went like this.

"Hi! We're making this change. Please email or call us <here> or <here> if you have any questions, concerns or feedback."

In this case:

"Hello. We thank our Kickstarer backers for being with us since day one. Unfortunately, we have run out of capital and will be shutting down by <date>. Those of you that pre-ordered can expect to get refunded within <period>. Please email or call us <here> or <here> with any questions, comments or concerns."

Simple English. Short, simple and easy to communicate with the company further for those that need to.

That said, there must be a reason why PR specialists craft these lengthy, emotional messages to their customers.
On a somewhat related note, a piece of advice for students: Don't use an eraser on tests. Write in pen, cross out mistakes with a single line through the middle. It will show the instructor your reasoning, so even if you get the final answer wrong there's a chance you'll be given partial credit. It won't hurt (as long as you have space) and it can certainly help. Even if you don't get partial credit your instructor may indicate that something you thought was a mistake was the path to the true solution. I used this tactic all through high-school and university, it works well and makes learning from mistakes easier.
There are ton of great foraging books for the PNW, a lot of them published recently and easy for beginners. All the local bookstores have them. I like the one by Douglass Duer. Langdon Cook's books are also great. Survivalism is totally dumb but free food is fun.
That's so uncannily realistic.
Google seems to be testing this theory with their adwords management web app :p
It's from the EU Cookie Directive, updated in 2015:
https://www.cookielaw.org/the-cookie-law/

and it's going to get more complicated under GDPR and the ePrivacy directive:

https://www.informationweek.com/big-data/cookie-law-vs-gdpr-...?

GDPR is NOT limited to the EU, but is focused on protecting EU data subjects no matter where they are, so US companies may be affected. Many US companies are signing up for Privacy Shield, which is updated annually, so it will spread beyond the EU in the years to come.
Can we get a cloud SID chip to go with it? I need to play some classic C64 Labyrinth.
Hard drives are famously prone to failure: I understand that filecoin and storj pay 'miners' to store files, but what happens in case of failure? It doesn't seem that there are any penalties for losing files (other than losing out on the expected income) – this does not seem very resilient.
Because Yahoo faded into irrelevancy. If you want Uber to rise in value for a short time, Khosrowshahi seems like an excellent bet. I wonder who Uber will cede their throne to? Lyft?

You could argue that the damage was done, that Kalanick screwed up the company so badly that nothing could save it at this point, so you may as well try to cannibalize it for value. But the best investors know better.

Let it sink in: they're going to run out of money. What then?
What we gain is easy, powerful and fluid manipulation of data and code in something like a ReadEvalPrintLoop.
Pew's search on hispanic issues seems to indicate they favor liberal economic issues (Health care, social security, management of the federal government) [0]. Painting hispanics as a group that only cares about immigration is far too broad a brush.

These voters are the democratic party's to lose - if they are not lost we may see Texas start to move more liberal instead of being the conservative stronghold which the article tries to imply it is.

Also, those that ordered with debit cards are more or less out of luck depending on their bank. Some will do an investigation for you and credit you the purchase amount while they do it; others aren't so lucky.
I think you've misunderstood the author's point. He would like a fast solution that also looks as simple as the Python example.

Even if you have a synchronous file read function that's doing partial file reads, you can not use it inside a synchronous loop to process the returned data because it will hold up the entire Node.js event loop until the whole file has been processed.

You can use the synchronous file read function in a way that doesn't hold up the main event loop but to do that you re-introduce all the complexity the author was trying to avoid.
Amusing to see Democrats coming out in support of tax breaks for the wealthy. The mortgage interest deduction is bad economics and bad social policy. It effectively gives rich people extra money to outbid the less rich, driving up housing prices for everyone.

The housing industry strongly opposes efforts to place new restrictions on the deduction, arguing that would lead to lower housing prices

This reminds me of an old SNL news segment about a proposed weakening of privacy regulations: "Opponents of the change claim that it will allow companies to invade people's privacy, while supporters say that it will allow them to invade people's privacy".
Yes, but how often is it that you have to compile all of the TypeScript at one of those companies all at once? In practice, your build system should be able to shard compilation of all of the TS at something of that scale over many, many machines.
Also worth noting: as someone with a serious sleep disorder (non-24 hour circadian rhythm), I've found that there are a lot of things that affect sleep quite strongly the first night and much less shortly after. The effect often disappears entirely quite quickly.
Here's another story/fact that should be included.

There's a species of octopi that live in groups. On nights with bright moon, predators can identify them because they cast a shadow. They have evolved an organ to intake particular bacteria that use what's called quorum sensing to detect when there's enough of them around. When the organ is full of these bacteria, the bacteria glow and therefore stop the shadow of the octopi. It's a great example of symbiosis, more specifically mutualism of two species. The octopi get saved and the bacteria get a safe place to live.
That was one of the most passionate, most heartfelt reviews I've ever seen. Super classy guy; will definitely look at his reviews in the future.

Apologies; I had meant to start a conversation, not bash on them because of a few short videos.

Worth noting that "speak about strategy in front of a camera" is an important aspect of being a CEO, and that one of the videos was very similar to a common interview question. So I'm not sure this was entirely unfair; just not a very meaningful observation given its limited informedness.

I'm more curious to see how this compares to PureScript (http://www.purescript.org/) rather than TypeScript. That seems more like a direct competitor in terms of bringing Haskell style algebraic data types into JS vs OCaml types / syntax in JS.

Although the last time I used PureScript it was still very much in an immature alpha stage with frequent breaking
changes with each new release. I'm excited to see what it grows into.

Now I'll have to give BuckleScript a shot.

PS: thanks for your hard work on this project :)
My fiancee ordered two physical products from Kickstarters. Both actually arrived, albeit extremely late. She's a huge fan of one but didn't like the other.

That said, I stay away from Kickstarter like the plague and wait for that stuff to drop on Amazon.
Correct - ls couldn't be a separate program - it would be replaced with a primitive that lets you explore the filesystem.

The point of such a system would be that programs cannot explore or read the filesystem as there is no filesystem API. But programs can operate on files explicitly given to them. So exploring the filesystem is restricted to some primitives that have to be used explicitly. The guarantee then is if I invoke a program without giving it a file or folder, I know it absolutely cannot access any file.
