We'll have to agree to disagree if you see equivalence there.

Even the smallest transitive dependency in our largest dependency graph in the Java ecosystem isn't someone's 6-liner afternoon project.

I think the ease of publishing + ecosystem of small modules is a good thing, it just has what we consider an ecosystem-level security trade-off that matters for some applications.
I'm not sure what advantage this has over Flow and the usual JIRA ticket management.
That's pretty much my reaction the first time I went to SF. My first BART experience was 16th and Mission and that left... quite an impression. It's surprising how people get used to it.
Apple before Tim Cook makes me more concerned about an Apple without Tim Cook. They seem to have a magical ability to keep squeezing more and more profit out of everything while making (large) incremental improvements on every iteration of each product: phone, computer, watch, headphone. I attribute this more to Cook than to Jobs. It can be argued that a Jobs and Cook Apple would be ideal but their continued success is an impressive thing to be a part of.
Cigarettes and fuel are passive objects. People, including minimum wage earners, are economic actors that make decisions.

It's complicated.

EDIT: Or perhaps we've come to think of minimum wage earners as passive objects, no different from fungible cigarettes.

Still no types in Elixir land, nor control over effects. Dialyzer was a real disappointment with its performance, poor error messages, lack of ecosystem support, lack of parametric polymorphism, and it not reporting obvious type errors.

Really hoping for more advances in distributed type systems in the coming years, but most folks don't really need the very specialised performance envelope that the BEAM gives, and would be better off elsewhere with a type system that caught more mistakes up-front, and provided better domain modelling tools.
At least the blob inside my wireless controller has no access to the data that the blob in the ethernet port sends to the NSA...

That little Quark core has access to pretty much everything.

BTW, I'd love to use it to collect very low level performance data on the main CPU.
If you accept that every mathematical structure of interest has an intuitionistic construction (as is currently believed to be the case), then every mathematical structure has an expression as a computer program.
We’ll look into it, but can’t promise much as we’re launching a new version mid December which should be friendlier across more platforms.
This is partially true. Economics originated in the field of political economy, which was at the time for lack of a better word, bourgeois. The political economists existed in a sense only to advise the government and monarchies on economic policy. When Marx set out to critique this field in his magnum opus which took thirty years of study to complete, Capital, he criticised them of obsessing over superficialities and only observing appearance rather than to drop down to the essences of capitalism.

In this sense, economics is inherently political and ideological, its anathema is Marxism which is a critique of this political and ideological field, but not a substitute of its own. It is not an economic theory, nor a political economic theory, it is a method of critique which is anti-ideological.

If you live in California once you hit 91k you will start paying 45% in taxes ( 28% Federal, 9.3% State , 7.6 OASDI) So clearly you are advocating a decrease in taxes since from your experience you can get taxed less and still have better services the you get in San Fransisco

If you're interested in a quad loaded with open source software right out of the box, take a look at the Sky Viper v2450 GPS. It runs about $150.

It runs full ardupilot code, has a ublox gps chip, a taoglas gps antenna, and the video board and transmitter software is open source.

It runs a tiny webserver that allows you to configure any of the ardupilot variables, and is compatible with most of the ardupilot ground control software.

IANAL, but assuming this is breaking the licence agreement, wouldn't suing for money only make legal sense if he could show that this infringement had cost him in some way?

Beyond the valid complaint of this being a personal insult, that is.
A while ago it was easier to get in (and the framework wasn't simpler), there was a lot of beginner-friendly materials (like the "do a blog in 15 minutes" video). If you started from there it was actually hard not to understand the file structure. (hint: rails/rake commands are your friends to quickly scaffold your models/pages).

I agree that a lot of people don't make the distinction between rails and ruby. I had interns who where quite surprised you could use ruby without rails, and that "it's actually a complete language!". Ruby on its own is charming indeed. Rails gets the job done: few other tools enable you to finish a functional MVP in a day or two. But if you start to add gems for everything it just becomes a pain in the ass.

edit: I was f*cking mad when they added coffeescript. fortunately it's simple to disable (just removing the gem and changing a setting for the file generators)
Only the GPLv3 would force Intel to do that. With v2 they can go the TiVo route and make the source available without giving out the means to make the hardware run your own binaries.

Gotta disagree with you there, given the number of frameworks that interpret MVC dramatically differently. I actually don't think it makes sense as a paradigm for server programming to begin with, and we've been trying to shoehorn the M, V, and C on to constructs that are a different thing entirely.
Except that they use wildly different accounting practices than the rest of the industry to make their numbers look better. For example, they don't include the cost of R&D (like every other manufacturer does), and they use retail price instead of wholesale price when calculating margin.

If you use the correct numbers, their margins are significantly lower than the rest of the industry.
As far as I am concerned I am not paying for my computer to be bugged. MINIX is a research project that is useful and interesting in its own right. That's what the EU is funding. GPS, the internet and the microchip were also publicly funded technologies. I don't think that anyone should object to the funding of these inventions because there are dubious uses of them (all of them sometimes in involuntary surveillance).

Ideally, bugging computers is a legislative issue, and the contract between the vendor of the particular technology employed to do it (in this case not even particularly built for that purpose) and its user is irrelevant.

It doesn’t matter what they’ll spend it on.

Fun project idea: implementation of the stats.nba.com API which provides simulated, or fantasy games.

Two use cases:

1. Why wait for the actual NBA games? Instead, follow a simulated league that “plays” as many games as you want to consume (but the games are played at real world speed).

2. You, and your friends, are the managers! Follow along as the results of your management decisions are played out.
US government spends 37.6% of GDP across all it's layers which is well above Switzerland's 33.9% by comparison, thus the US has and needs high tax rates. https://data.oecd.org/gga/general-government-spending.htm

The difference is our tax code is designed to hide just how much money people are actually paying. Inefficiency and corruption also drastically reduces the benefits people get from the government. https://b-i.forbesimg.com/theapothecary/files/2013/06/OECD-P...

EX: US government spends 3,967$ per person (2010) on healthcare and has massive issues. Switzerland spends less than 1/2 as much at 1,628$/person (2010) and has high quality universal healthcare.

Learn Online Marketing – Free Training Course from Google
I have used all my iPhones (3G, 3GS, 4S, currently 6S) without a case. Cases are pretty much always uglier than the phone itself. They add extra cost to an already expensive phone. They make the phone thicker, bulkier. They wear out and become very ugly/dirty after a few months. Ofcourse you can replace it, but that's more costs.

The 6S is unstable laying on its back, thanks to the camera. The unstableness removes a bit of the 'magic'. It feels bad using a wobbly product. You shouln't have to use a case. That's just bad design.
But you're also conflating server-side and client-side (jQuery) Javascript.

Client-side applications have baggage (infinite deploy targets) that you don't have with server-side applications (one deploy target), so the comparison is disingenuous.

> You’re acting like I said this is a smoking gun, when all I said is that it’s worth looking into.

Sorry about that, you are right in that you didn't say this is a smoking gun.
But that's what this is framed as in many places and I took your framing of "Putin's tool" as going down that same venue.

> And while your whole comment wasn’t whataboutism, the “other countries do this too” part definitely was.

I see it as pointing out double-standards, which is an actual thing and sadly happens quite often without being called out as such. Especially in geopolitics, there's a very easy to spot bias in terms of what some countries are allowed to do while other countries are scrutinized for these very same actions.

Case in point: US modernizing/expanding their nuclear arsenal vs Russia doing the same and how both of those are framed across different media on the globe.
When the US modernized their nuclear arsenal station in Germany, the German government literally framed that as "Good US nukes vs evil Russian nukes", like there's any actual difference.

The same can be applied here where it's suddenly super dodgy that actors invested in social media. Why? Because these actors happened to be Russian. Now let's investigate those Russians, but only those Russians!

You can't deny that this evokes certain memories about the McCarthy era and the associated Red Scare.
Again: If investing in social media is a dodgy proposition then this should apply to everybody investing, not just Russians because last time I checked it wasn't just some Russian people who had beef with the US, that particular trait is not reserved to some Russian nationals, it's far more widespread than that.
Whose morality are we talking about here? The hand-chopping, terror funding Saudi morality? Or the Puritanical, still allied with the British Empire Northeast US morality? Or the US West-Coast "if it feels good do it more" anything-goes morality?

Or did you mean ethics?
Yes, sounds good, do you mind to create an issue in GitHub repo for that? Maybe I can find some good one JS library and then add flowchat to examples.
> You can point out that this doesn't explain why math works so well,

The philosophical implications are far broader than that. The mathematical universe provides working foundations for a lot of philosophy and physics. For instance, the multiverse entailed by the mathematical universe explains why fine tuning for life isn't necessary.

> but I'll point out it's better not to pretend we have an answer if we really don't--then we keep looking.

You can keep looking despite accepting that the mathematical universe is currently our best explanation. Your implication that we wouldn't do this is simply bizarre. Would you shout equally loudly that we shouldn't build on our best scientific theory simply because it may not explain everything?

> The idea that reality is made of math as an answer is totally lacking in justification

Except I just covered the justification: the fact that it explains plenty of philosophical and scientific problems without introducing unnecessary complexity. What more justification could you possibly need?

Frankly, it sounds to me like you're either special pleading or moving the goalposts simply because you don't like the idea of the mathematical universe.

It's not optimistic. Society will change massively - in the good direction. We have still a lot of work ahead of us, and there will of course be pain along the way, but the Planet will become peaceful and clean again. And we are assisted in this process. How do I know? I've seen it.
2006 is maybe not the correct year, but I'd say the was a period around JQuery's heyday that had a lot of advantages compared to today. JavaScript, while used frequently, was mostly for progressive enhancement, CSS was beggining to be a saner language to work with (particularly with sass), and overall, I generally felt more productive than I do today in the JS-driven world of the web.

Absolutely there's a class of applications that wouldn't be possible with this approach, and I'm glad they exist. But it seems the "correct" answer to any problem to be solved on the web, no matter how straightforward, is to reach for React or a similar framework.

it really depends on the tax steps, it's quite likely they'd pay less taxes in the US cause the higher rates kick in later (and hit 40% in their host country long before reaching $91k).

E.g. in Germany you would already reach 47.5% (42% income tax + 5.5% solidarity surcharge) as a single person at €52k.

> What I'm talking about is more basic: if someone blows in your ear, do you experience anything? Whatever it is that you experience is what I mean by subjectivity.

You're evading the issue. You initially claimed that there is nothing to prove about subjectivity. This is patently false.

The subjectivity you apparently experience by observation, if taken at face value as you initially suggested, ie. "there is nothing to prove", is logically irreducible to third-party objective facts.

And yet, third-party objective facts are the best explanation we have for everything else.

Therefore, you do have something to prove regarding subjective experience, contra your original claim.

So, it was changed back in Satoshi's era(2010). It is miners who are not obliged to fill up till 1 MB. Yes, miners can be shady to not fill the blocks and collect fees.

Frankly, it seems Bitcoin has an ever revolving door of civil wars and it is getting boring. Every time someone comes up with a different opinion, its civil war, political attack etc. There was so much noise during Bitcoin XT, then cash and now this.

If people are so concerned about miner control and 100% sure of community support, create a fork and mine it. A fair debate is fine but this kind of in-fighting undermines bitcoin from being taken seriously - 7k in price or not.
> With JavaScript, once you move past the basic TodoMVC examples you are pretty much on your own.

This is a big problem that's addressed quite rarely. There's very few open JS codebases that cover the sorts of concerns most web developers face. There are open codebases for build tools, codebases for graphics editors and web frameworks, but few relevant to writing a typical frontend app and frankly few that are well written.

As a JavaScript developer myself I often wonder if there'd be demand for a 'boring webapp' open codebase, something that could showcase perhaps two or three different ways of writing garden-variety JS applications.
Apple has hamstrung itself because of their stance on privacy. Most of the operations are done on-device or in some other way obfuscated on the server side.

You already hint at this, but I would expect that it is more about what that quantity represents (obviously you cannot really untangle these things).

For example, it speaks for itself that number of users has a direct influence on to the number of developers and computer scientists working on the system and improving it. Or from Tanenbaum's point of view, fix issues that shouldn't have been there in the first place.
