Hehe that would work, and is in store. I had something a little more subtle in mind. I remember Seiko selling "Kinetic" watches with internal counter weights. Maybe it's possible to scale up a similar mechanism in a phone case (granted you accept the doubled width) and enjoy the free energy. Of course this came to mind when running yesterday.

Youtube has some videos about a thing called ampy, a tiny case you attach on you. I'm not sure it made it to market though.

Facebook and Google can say the same without lying. Apple's iAd is the ad-network and Apple sells the categorization (male, 14-21, likes dogs) of you based on your personal information. As do G and F.

So it's basically PR double speak.

For me, it was nice to see Chris Granger (now working on Eve at witheve.com) and the Light Table guys get recognition for Light Table influencing Apple. To quote: "The default language for making new iPhone and Mac apps, called Swift, was developed by Apple from the ground up to support an environment, called Playgrounds, that was directly inspired by Light Table."

Imagine that we want to travel between two points in a rugged landscape. By the very nature of the problem, we have infinitely many ways to do this. However, once we start imposing certain constraints e.g. that we should always prefer the path that requires the lesser amount of energy, our set of possible solutions narrows down pretty fast.

I know particularly aggressive pedants made linguistic rules unfashionable, but most of the time they are merely suggestions of how to get the most of language e. g. how to avoid ambiguities and get your meaning across. Sure, they aren't rules in the sense of constraining every single possible manifestation of language. But no one ever thought that. Not even the pedants: instead they believed that they should constrain every possible manifestation, which implies that they believed they don't.

Strikes me as an odd choice - perhaps ideally the open source announcement should have contained a bit more of the "Hello wallaroo" post:

Ouch! :) Congratulations on getting it out the door - looks very interesting.
Take my Sony Xperia phone. Is Android Open Source? I think it isn't. Is the hardware proprietary? OK I can root the phone probably, but then what? How can I trust the new ROM if I can't really know what's inside? Google wants to make me feel secure, so they do their best to provide tools to protect my phone and account.

Now tell me what serious alternative there is for a modern smartphone? Firefox and Ubuntu have abondoned their phone OS, and they had no good working system that could compete with Android or iOS? Windows Phone? How's that better than Apple's offering?

Apple seems to have the best arguments here.
The ARC is an non-profit organization supported by a movement of volunteers from all walks of life. It gives resources to volunteers willing to help those in need. Thank god it exists.

I took a month leave of absence from a programmer position at Merrill Lynch when Hurricane Katrina ravaged the U.S. I signed up for a disaster response role in the American Red Cross, who dispatched me relatively quickly to a major shelter in Alexandria, Louisiana.

Gandhi said, "You have to be the change you wish to see in the world.". This could not be more true than as a volunteer. A mass response to a disaster of Puerto Rican proportions will be loosely coordinated. Supply chains will operate far from optimal. Volunteers who recognize an inefficiency will either do nothing about it or assume the leadership role required to reduce the inefficiency.
A volunteer experience like this is largely what you make of it. Unlike other entrepreneurial endeavors, the ARC gives you the resources to do something great.

Yes, a transmit-only approach would be the most power-saving approach here, but you'd lose the ability to adjust configuration on-the-fly, and firmware updates over the air (FOTA), among other things. LoRa has excellent long-range properties thanks to sub-GHz, modulation, and low bit-rate, but you can just barely send something back to it and certainly not FOTA it.

The device used in the example post (and here: http://www.thingsquare.com/blog/articles/sensortag-power/ ) doesn't route even if part of a mesh. Ie, it's powered down for the most part so won't route packets for others, but it can still be many hops away from the gateway.
Measuring Your Web Server Reachability with TCP Ping
I think that one of the great benefits to open source platforms such as PostgreSQL, Hadoop, Kafka and others is that their open license guarantees no vendor lock-in. This means users can relax in the knowledge that the platform won't disappear if the original company disappears (or hikes prices), and means that it's possible to support the platform forever - even if that means bringing it in-house.

The Wallaroo license seems to be non-free, which I think is very unfortunate and a misses an opportunity to be more widely used: https://blog.wallaroolabs.com/2017/09/open-sourcing-wallaroo...

What an ingenius way to combine two seemingly 'harmless' datasets to reveal powerful insights! I'm sure there are many other possible/potential ways to combine publicly available data, hmmm...
I agree with 1. and am not averse to it in principle, but in this kind of scenario, opt-out is simply a bad idea. The security and privacy implications in many scenarios are just too big.

And assurances that no personal data will be collected are worthless, we need guarantees, often even mandated by company policies, regulations or contractual obligations.

The hoopla with command line arguments should be enough to underline the fundamental problem with that approach.
I could be wrong, but I don’t believe there is any floating ice that’s 300k mi², hence why I said what I said.
What about period placement and display-style math (as opposed to inline math). Take the following example.

From FOO we can conclude that:

CAT = FOOBAR

Does one place a period inside that display math? It has nothing to do with the equation, but it seems like the only reasonable place for it.
I find the changing stuff that is a quotation at odds with the whole point of quoting something.

I'm from the UK so the guide is actually unhelpful for me as it introduces what I'd see as bad practices.

There are two problems. First, when writing a contract every line you write might be a potential avenue for an attack. Second, the language (Solidity) and the parsing of the bytecode (EVM) don't help.

If you look at the kind of attacks that happen I feel like two major problems came from the fact that addresses can be real account addresses or contracts (it could have been good to segregate them) and errors/exceptions don't propagate well.
Much of the advice here is good, but some is a bit weird.

> I will give the document to my brother, Tom. (The writer has only one brother. The brother's name is nonessential and therefore set off with a comma.)

> I will give the document to my brother Tom. (The writer has more than one brother. In this case, the specific brother—Tom—is essential information and should not be set off with a comma.)

I know this used to be considered an important distinction, but I think few writers would worry about it today. Does the reader care if Tom is the writer's only brother? Either way the writer is talking only about Tom, not any possible other brothers. I think many writers today would leave out the comma in either case.

Take an example where it's clear there is only one:

I am going to visit my mother Helen.

I am going to visit my mother, Helen.

I don't think leaving out the comma implies that I have more than one mother, and I doubt if anyone cares much about the comma here either.

The trend today is to simply leave out commas where the meaning is clear.

This example of the Oxford comma is really confusing:

> I am taking art history, Russian literature, microeconomics, and macroeconomics next semester.

It's a valid point that omitting the Oxford comma could make it sound like "microeconomics and macroeconomics" is a single course, but using the comma makes it sound like the first three courses are being taken this semester and macroeconomics next semester. It should be rewritten:

> Next semester I am taking art history, Russian literature, microeconomics, and macroeconomics.

There is a similar situation where the Oxford comma is needed in the programming joke:

There are two hard problems in computer science: naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors.

It ruins the joke (to my eyes) if you leave it out:

There are two hard problems in computer science: naming things, cache invalidation and off-by-one errors.

And enough with the commas already in a sentence like this:

> Your work has been, frankly, awful.

Ugh. Does anyone actually write that instead of:

Your work has been frankly awful.

(Of course I would never say that to someone but would find a more constructive way to put it.)

My advice: Write simply and clearly. Know these purported rules but take them with a healthy grain of salt. Omit unnecessary punctuation where the meaning is clear to the reader. And if you need extra punctuation to avoid confusion, consider rewriting the sentence for clarity.
I've used GitHub pages for small things like open source projects and blogs. But I recently switching to putting everything in an S3 bucket, and putting CloudFront or CloudFlare in front. I just didn't like abusing GitHub, and sometimes my site would go down, or the requests would take a really long time. Also, I only pay a few cents to put my site on S3.

I was using a very simple deploy script that just ran the aws command line tool, and then made a simple curl request to invalidate the cache in CloudFlare. I've seen Netlify mentioned a lot, and I was about to say that I don't really need it...

But I just signed up, and I was immediately convinced to switch over. Their sign up flow is amazing. It really is like a Heroku for static content.

The main thing is that I don't have to run my deploy script anymore, and I just `git push`. I could set up the same flow with GitLab CI, but this is just a much nicer service, and it's free. And they do cache invalidation automatically. I don't know how their CDN compares to CloudFlare or CloudFront, but I'm sure it's good enough.

P.S. Another thing to mention is that I'm actually generating a static site from my Rails app. So far I really like using Rails helper methods and libraries to generate my static landing page, such as the recaptcha and stripe gems. I'm using "stripe-rails" to define all my plans with a DSL in config/stripe/plans.rb, and then that automatically generates my pricing page HTML. Then I just run `wget --recursive` to download the root page and all of the links.

I have my root domain record pointing to a CDN where I host the static files, and then the sign up or sign in links point to the Rails site running on a subdomain, e.g. app.domain.com. I really love this setup, because no matter how much traffic your site gets, the landing page will never go down.
Even if they are not using your exif, they will be trying to identify your locations in the photos based on the presence of other people, landmarks, or other objects. In the same way that Google does.

The number isn't high enough to be meaningful, but many of the wealthier folks that I know have safes built into their homes and offices. Some even have a safe built into their car and may have another built into their RV, if they have one.

I haven't seen inside all their safes, but I have seen inside a few of them - including my own. In those, again a very small sample size, there is always some cash.

I tend to be willing to jump on a deal and have a small automobile addiction. So, I keep a pretty decent stash on hand. The amount will vary, please don't rob me, but it's not unheard of for me to have nearly six figures in between a couple of safes.

If I'm planning on buying something big(ish), I may have already taken the cash out to have it on-hand. I live in a crime-free area, as in zero crime, so it's not really a risk. People will often favor me in barter, if they know I have cash immediately available.

So, if I'm going to a car show, then I will have extra cash already in my safe. If I'm going to be traveling, there will be extra cash in my safe. If I haven't made it to deposit the money, there will be extra cash in my safe.

A friend of mine owns an excavation/trucking company. I know he's usually got six, or more, figures in his safe - though some will be in checks.

Another one owns a bunch of franchises and doesn't always make it to the bank as often as he should. He's good for a five digit sum, probably (speculating) in the $20k region, plus whatever he usually has in there. This will usually be after a long holiday weekend.

I can't really say much about the rest but those are the only ones where I know some of the contents and they all have decent amounts of cash.

Again, that's a very, very small sample size and a very biased sample. I'm not sure if it carries over to other people and to other areas.

Since I retired to here, there have been zero property crimes. That's ten years. There have been zero violent crimes. The only crimes I know about was some guy was in an accident while he was driving drunk and one guy who led police on a merry chase that happened to go up the State highway. So, this may very well not apply elsewhere.

> You can run all Wallaroo code in a non-production environment without restriction.

> You can run all Wallaroo code in a production environment for free on up to 3 servers or 24 CPUs.

> If you want to run Wallaroo Enterprise version features in production above 3 servers or 24 CPUs, you have to obtain a license.

> You can modify and redistribute any Wallaroo code

> Anyone who uses your modified or redistributed code is bound by the same license and needs to obtain a Wallaroo Enterprise license to run on more than 3 servers or 24 CPUs in a production environment.

Not sure I'm too happy about a custom licence - it'd be nice to hear more about this choice vs a more traditional AGPL / commercial license.

How so? It’s open source. You can verify it yourself.

Here's a question for you to consider: .NET Core runs very well on Linux. Linux is a first-class platform and issues which only affects Linux is as a general rule considered a deal-breaker when making a release.

Do you think Microsoft would put such a focus on ensuring good Linux-compatibility if their telemetry suggested nobody ran .NET Core on Linux?

I don't know for sure, but I'm inclined to believe that this telemetry has been among the things ensuring Linux today is a first-class supported platform, because Microsoft is seeing that .NET Core is now gaining traction in a space where Microsoft traditionally has has very little.
It's really not there though

> And this is great, simple UI that means you can use it without a manual.

Of course it requires a manual. You think it doesn't, probably because you saw your parents use it, or saw it used on TV (or because you're a technical person and figured it out yourself from first principles). Even such simple things are learned, and for some users, need to be explained. Hence appliances include manuals.

Also: while you know how to use a toaster, if you find yourself in front of an appliance the type of which you've never seen before, you will naturally reach for its manual (maybe after first trying to figure it out yourself). You will not run away screaming, you'll learn to use it, and you will not think it is a weird thing. Similarly, nobody bats an eye at the prospect of having to learn how to drive, or use power tools. I think the single biggest sin UX is doing is promoting the expectation that using software is not something that requires learning. We're now training people into thinking they should become experts in 5 seconds, whereas in every other area of life there is an expectation of learning.
Exactly, awesome right? I would love a future without ANY cables.
Maybe... And it would be just as foolish.

These predictions of doom (Thomas Malthus, Club of Rome, Global Warming, Y2K) all have the 'problem' of being self-defeating: It's unclear to what degree they were wrong only because societies reacted to them. China's One-Child policy, or family planning as a major component of developmental aid, for example, may have been consequences of the prophecies of overpopulation.
