So true!

Your points about some unknown material/process in space being the key are correct. However, I don't think there is anything up there that we can't figure out how to make down here. There are some long, single grain, high weight elemental crystals that we can't make here, but they also takes millions of years to cool down in a vacuum. Space is really empty, and there really aren't any magic rocks up there. It's mostly just feldspar.
When I started writing C a million years ago I thought to myself -- why the f$# does the compiler need to be told twice what the structure of my code is? Once with {} and once with indentation. It's not as if anyone half-sensible is going to write good code with bad indentation.

With that thought in mind, I am pathetically grateful for Python.

I have used GCE, AWS, Hetzner, and OVH. On the face of it, while the GCE interface seemed very strange (e.g. can't rename most resources after creation), I have come to the conclusion that it is the best of the cloud providers. The flexibility of being able to upscale/downscale a machine, setting it up and then shutting it down until needed for free, the sustained use discount, and the fast startup keep me coming back. That said, I run a lot on Hetzner and love the fact that it just works. Edit: syntax, addditions for Hetnzer.

Not to be overly contrarian but it does seem that we are getting close to the peak for the craft beer industry.

Smuttynose Brewery going up for auction is a great example of this. https://www.pressherald.com/2018/01/18/smuttynose-brewing-in...

Many areas are getting over-saturated with microbreweries and there eventually won't be enough demand to sustain them.

In retail, $10+ average price for a six pack, the even more offensive 4 pack of beer for the same price or more.

It's great to see this growth engine for jobs, and I personally love the amount of variety and innovation we are seeing in craft beer, I just wonder how long it will last until people are onto the next trend or until the industry gets so greedy that they kill the golden goose.

Wasn't all transportation extremely accident-prone in 1927?

When Lindbergh made his flight, commercial air travel was already 13 years old (not counting Zeppelins) and already growing rapidly. US Airline passengers nearly tripled from 1928 to 1929, from 60,000 to 170,000. That wasn't just because of Lindbergh, it was mostly because of the Ford Tri-motor.

All those passenger flights funded commercial airplane manufacturers to invest in new designs, and by the early 1930s we had far safer and more cost effective metal monoplane designs like the Boeing 247 and DC-2, and then the DC-3s. It was one of the great revolutions in transportation history. So what was so bad about it?

Don’t need a special editor, just an industry-standard one, that’s the whole point.

I was bothered by the whitespace too, for an hour one afternoon in the spring of ~2001. Then I got over it and realized what a masterstroke it was, removing ~15% of the redundant visual noise.

Firstly, if you cut and paste so often that you feel it should take precedence over everyday readability and conciseness, then that’s a dev smell. Code is read 10x as much as written, likely one reason perl declined.

Secondly, you could simply toggle view whitespace on your editor or have it replace the indent chars on the tab key. Geany does this automatically via pref and it’s Python-specific support is basic.

Thirdly, Python3 and pep8 make issues even less likely than they were. Which is approximately never in my experience in the last ten years or so.

So, this subthread could have been on slashdot in ‘98, hence the frustration.

It’s such a fucking non-issue and productivity boon. Like using yaml for config instead of json.

People think "oh, it's compiled, so I can't have dynamic methods" but that couldn't be more far from the truth. You can do all of that at compile time, and Crystal provides an excellent way of doing so. E.g.: https://github.com/sam0x17/crystal-mongo-orm/blob/master/src...

I think the debate forces an acknowledgement that the objectives themselves don't always have intrinsic value.

I agree there's a lot of things that can be gotten from it like NASA funding, but many people do not really "know" the utility of going to the moon.

For example, people will talk about mining on the moon, but I've only ever seen articles debunking the utility of this, and not a single in-depth analysis in favor of this. I might be looking in the wrong spots.

My theory is that relatively few people can justify the value of these efforts convincingly. This is part of why NASA doesn't have a bigger budget. "Whitey on the moon"[0] has a ring of truth to it.

Developing strong arguments for further development is one of the most effective ways for people to support further development.

Otherwise you end up with things like "We'll go to Mars for space tourism/exploration!". Which is... well you do what you want with your money, but that's a hell of a lot of money for tourism. Public funding will be hard to come by.

I think that section is clear. It's not a clone because Dynamicland is a building in Oakland. An open-source software project can port some of the experience, but to clone it you would need to establish a large physical space.

I'm excited about Paper Programs. I got to spend an afternoon in Dynamicland, and after exploring a couple hours I was sure that I wanted access to the system back home. Their response was "wait a couple years." Not everybody can make it to Oakland!

Dynamicland focuses on in-person collaboration. Maybe Paper Programs will explore tangible computing with remote collaboration.

This was a new thought for me, I must admit that I have sipped the "kool-aid" myself.

I would like to push for a different outcome, although I'm not sure that it's really feasible.

If computer skills become ubiquitous the common SaaS type businesses could become obsolete. To be honest, I can't name a web app offered today that presents any technology that hasn't been around for at least 20 years. The technology 20 years ago wasn't as user friendly nor did it have the adoption rates seen today, but nothing new has been invented only refined.

The only exception is that there has been major advances in surveillance and the monetization of attention. Although the monetization of attention is nothing really new; I mean there is a reason that the phrase "to pay attention" exists.

If IT education was ubiquitous, Atom feeds and Jabber could replace facebook and other technologies could displace other major tech firms.

Craft brewers don't do many lagers for two reasons.

The first is that they're "boring". You can already get lots of different mass market lagers, and they're all similar.

The second reason is that they're hard to brew. You can hide the fact that you're a shit brewer behind malt and hops (to an extent). You can't cover up poor technique in a lager. The big megacorps have got their technique down to a tee.
How is this a loss? They paid taxes on gains? Not sure what the badness is here. They cashed out and paid taxes.
Horses for courses. Video tutorials are great for things where you have to find some obscure menu item, or otherwise perform a non-obvious "secret GUI handshake" to access a feature or perform a task. For learning to how to actually write code, they're awful, for all of the reasons you mention.
I agree with you but I see how DJI is trying to maneuver. My guess is their goal is not to aim at serious hobbyists rather they want casual upper class tech gadget collectors like the Bose, Apple, Nikon non-pro with a $2k+ dslr customer. People with tons of money and scoping for the next hot tech trinket 799 is a pretty great price point for the package. No good for me because I don’t like Chinese corporations and prefer to make and mod my own quads.

Take a look at macros in crystal and I promise you 99% of the time you will be able to do what you did in Ruby. Practically everything people do that is "necessarily dynamic" could be done with macros at compile-time. You CAN do things like define the behavior for when a method name is unmatched on an Object or (at compile time) do some string processing and define a bunch of methods based on the results.

> I think there are about 10 different companies operating what looks like a unified public transport system in Zürich for example.

Yes, there are different companies, and many of them are nominally organized as corporations, but I can't think of any of them that are for-profit, and pretty much all of them are state owned.

> I think an exceptional proportion of national income is spent on health care

True, Swiss per capita health care spending is roughly midway between the US and European countries like Germany and France. But in terms of availability and outcomes, the Swiss system is outstanding. I'm sure you find Swiss who would trade health care systems with Germany and France. But I doubt that anyone who has experienced both systems would trade with the US.

> One risk rarely considered, is heavy exercise in traffic is very bad for the lungs.

While I agree air pollution is worth considering, "very bad" sounds like hyperbole to me. Definitely not anywhere near smoking. The solutions also are rather simple: change your route to avoid heavy traffic and/or wear an air filter. I've done both before and recommend the latter more, as it seems more effective, does not make breathing harder, and has other safety benefits as well. Also consider the length of one's commute.

It's also worth noting that air pollution can easily be worse when driving. In fact, while I can not find the link now, I recall one non-scientific article with some experiments run by academics suggested that net exposure to air pollution was higher when driving in some cases.
And "large" is a loose definition out here. There are some places with weight restrictions at 50 lbs, and I've started seeing more and more at 35 lbs or even 25 lbs!

It depends. What is your use case? If you mean this project specifically, part one says "you will probably never need to build something like this yourself (nor should you)".

Dumping everything into an S3 bucket may be perfectly fine and even efficient for some projects. I personally don't see myself wanting to use S3 buckets for transmitting messages between multiple different systems with different purposes.

If you have a lot of different services producing data that multiple services will consume, then a pub/sub system can simplify things. Some systems, like Kafka, also have added redundancy/scaling benefits.
Home build experimental aircraft are a lot less regulated than mass produced aircraft. You can build a microlight in your garage if you want.
There's also the interplay of arranging papers, and live-editing the code in a particular piece of paper. In Dynamicland, the projector highlights printed code in green/red to visualize diffs.

You can sketch a UI element on the paper (eg a rectangle and token for a numerical slider), then go back to code the interactivity. Units in the code are inches on the table. Subtle things like that break you free from the laptop.

When you want to "commit" your code changes, you print a new version.

Ken Olsen DEC 1957 – 1989 (History of Digital Equipment Corporation)
I, for one, absolutely hate the craft beer revolution in the U.S.; a lot of restaurants are changing out their taps of beers that are universally liked for craft beers. It's basically impossible to get a Stella or Heineken on tap now, everything on tap is Bud Light and a ton of craft beers. There are a few places that haven't fallen into this, but it's a big problem. I hate it. I love Belgian and German beers and it has become almost impossible to get either of them on tap unless you go to a beer hall style bar.

A few of the "craft" beers are owned by the major multinational corporations anyhow.
We're changing that in the next few days.

I agree the movement is likely nearing saturation on total number of microbreweries. However, $10 +/- a few dollars, for a six pack, is not a problem. The mediocre old domestics cost $7 to $10 around most of the US. Paying more is perfectly fine for a superior tasting product. Product price scaling works that way in most consumer goods, it makes sense.

It's not really about US citizenship. It's about being subject to US taxation. The IRS has a rather more generous definition of whether you are a "US person" than the INS does.

That said, if you are a legal resident in Switzerland, you should be able to find banking here. If you just step off the plane with a suitcase full of money and walk into a bank, though — I would recommend making it a LARGE suitcase.

One of the problems is that people misclassify pit bulls all the time. Dog bites someone and looks like a terrier type? Pit bull!

Recently happened to me. Founders raid the series c for liquidity. Take out a predatory note to keep the company afloat. Sell the company in a fire sale and reap transaction bonuses, RSU grants, etc. Common stock wiped out and those that built the company left with nothing. Lesson learned? It rarely pays to be an early employee at a startup.
Don’t knock it until you try it. I’ve learned a great ton from YouTube videos or just watching the videos in sequence on Frontend Masters. Watching them at an increased speed let’s me cover a lot of ground very quickly. I also like writing down headers of important topics, and then going back and doing research on those topics and essentially trying to write a brief book in my own words on everything. Helps me get a deeper understanding, ensure I’m actually learning stuff, and be able to come back to things for reference. See: https://baron816.gitbooks.io/good-stuff-to-know/content/
Interesting - older developers like Swift a lot. There is a resurgence of C++ among younger developers.
TLDR;

Transaction confirmation times have risen substantially; this, in turn, has led to an increase in the failure rate of transactions denominated in fiat currencies. (By the time the transaction is confirmed, fluctuations in Bitcoin price mean that it’s for the “wrong” amount.) Furthermore, fees have risen a great deal. For a regular Bitcoin transaction, a fee of tens of U.S. dollars is common, making Bitcoin transactions about as expensive as bank wires.
Use case is a Cloud, taking all audit/log data, wrapping in metadata, and then placing it in a location which then needs analytics available on.

Currently this is done for the control plane by just loading them directly into Elasticsearch. Increasing the availability for all users, the consideration is, does a pub/sub add anything that just throwing the data directly into an s3 like bucket (swift in our case).

I just assumed it did. Everyone does it. Scale, decoupling the sender from the receiver...

But... I mean, why? What's the point of an additional hop, and another thing to manage. If your source is already wrapping metadata, and perhaps putting it into a structure, what is the value of a pub/sub there? If you can load it to the pub/sub, you can load it to the s3 bucket in the same manner.
There’s no way that many people use VIM.
I have a hard time giving that starter-pack graphic too much credit because it's really describing a wider design aesthetic.

This is a pretty common scenario when a venture funded company doesn't reach a valuation that exceeds the various preferences accumulated in investment rounds. The company is ultimately sold, all of the sales proceeds are taken by the preferred shareholders, who carve out set-asides for founders and senior management to keep them onboard and not scare the acquirer off with internal strife.
