Sony isn't in a dominant position. If I were to buy a new console Sony isn't even a contender.
Compared to HDD storage, isn't all the data hot, relatively speaking? I mean it's pushing the bottleneck to the bus, sure, but the alternative of HDD storage is slower by every meaningful metric.

(Except maybe heat? I would assume these run at a higher temp than equivalent storage space in HDD, but I've nothing to actually base that on.)

If money's no object, presumably it's not "there's no use case for them", it's "there's no reason to do anything else"?

I think the McMansion style is largely driven by cheap off the shelf parts - that's why they often have a horrid mix of different window styles on the same building, rather than any unconscious push back. It's cheaper to accept the mismatch rather than spend the cash on cohesion.
If what you care about is pollution, just tax the pollution instead mandating a specific solution. In this case, it seems easier to add a $0.50 deposit to the plastic bottles.
Worked in food service for 16 years, started my own restaurant. So not a layman... (yes I know this is a logical fallacy; appeal to authority. So what)

But to answer your question, no. I don't think they've addressed these obvious issues.

It’s the stereotype, not the reality. Check out the housing prices near frequently-served bus stops in your local city.
The technology of air-conditioner takes building from windows to sealed glasses.
I'm not very impressed with this. It automates some steps, but they need to take this to the next level, where everything is prepared in a compact, self-cleaning machine. I know people love the art of cooking and there's the question of jobs, but honestly, I hate that my food is created in these chaotic, dirty kitchens. People get tired, apathetic, etc, and the consistency really suffers. How many times have you had an amazing meal only to be completely disappointed the next time.
And tomatoes can be difficult to slice; too ripe, and they splatter, making catsup in that nice, clear tube. Too tough and they bend the blades of your mandoline. Onions are even worse. They seem to have realized that lettuce won't be easy to cut (so they use shredded) but that will wilt/brown much faster.
What’s the main argument for using Atom over say Sublime Text? (argument other than price—-I’m willing to pay $ for good software)
Yes abortion has serious moral questions. In that case the brain is being grown inside another human body connected to another brain. That's a far different moral question than a brain being grown by itself in a lab.

When my rights negatively impact your rights it's a moral dilemma. In a lab though, there's no affect in another person's rights by keeping the brain alive, no host body being affected, no physical/emotional pain, no financial responsibilities and no parenting role to factor in.

That's why it seems immoral to me to create a conscious brain and then destroy it or make decisions without it's consent because it only seems like the brain's rights are bring affected. Abortion is more complex because it involves the rights of two brains.
> They actually seem to be pretty constant in proportion to the space human population occupies, and if this is so, they aren't a bigger problem than human spread and encroachment of wilderness.

I didn't make any claims landfills grow in space at a faster rate than other human land uses, and like you, I agree that they probably just increase linearly with human spread (maybe even more slowly than linearly).

My point is that space on earth is still a finite resource. It doesn't matter how quickly it's getting used up right now, and it may be many generations before we start to hit "peak earth land", but eventually, we'll get there.

Plus, there is something to be said about conserving resources (such as usable land) in the same way that we save money for future generations to use: you never know what unforeseen circumstances may come up requiring some "cash in the bank", so to speak.

That's why I think landfills are nothing are temporary measures, rather than a sustainable way of dealing with waste. It's not something we can hope to do for a few millennia and be cool.
But isn't that what YouTube was essentially trying to do here?
The constant churn of new video formats is one possible reason. If YouTube doesn’t convert all their old videos, they may become effectively unplayable (see for example how many 80s and 90s AV formats have vanished). But even if they do convert all their old videos, repeated transcoding could gradually turn them into mush anyway.

Those problems could certainly be avoided or worked around if YT takes sufficient care, but maybe they won’t have the right incentives to care continuously for the next 1000 years. I think it’s a much harder challenge than preserving paper and vellum artifacts.
I don't really get this criticism. This is a client-only app. Scrubbing input on the client is a bad way to avoid XSS because an attacker can modify the client. So teaching developers to sanitize strings in their frontend JS is not helpful. Why do we care what she does on her single page side project?
Between Sublime and VS Code I just don't see Atom's value proposition. I'd like to be proven wrong though.
What? Last time I looked the PS4 was outselling the Xbox 1 by a 2:1 ratio and the switch was selling about a 10th of that. Sony doesn't care about cross play because it doesn't benefit them. Your personal feelings aside, Sony has absolutely dominated this latest round of the console wars. It wasn't even close.
It seems apparent the Creator machine was designed with form over function in mind, to be seen and photographed and to visually communicate the concept of "automated food assembly" while looking aesthetically appealing.

I'm not unrealistic - functional requirements are hardly ever complete, and they're almost always better than scalability and capacity planning.

Call me old fashioned, but I don't like messing around with production. I think you can reasonably scale down production environments and simulated wan networks packet loss/latency. I can't imagine a platform moderate importance not having some sort of benchmarking and scalability as part of their pre-prod pipeline automated acceptance criteria. It feels like this work would fall under that engineering role (again, performance test engineer or devops/sre).

Anyway, I think I chafe at the name more than anything. I know nonlinear dymanics, stress testing, queuing theory, et al and it just feels overly glib for what should be the most serious sort of activity a company considers.
The Acquirer’s Multiple is another similar formula:

>... is bridges falling apart, underfunded police agencies, teachers leaving the profession because they don't want to live in poverty, schools without supplies, without music programs, without art programs, let alone STEM programs, colleges shrinking, faculty not being hired, roads going unrepaired, homeless population growing, libraries being gutted, social programs and social service agencies facing layoffs and shortages, and on and on.

Non one can seriously claim the lack of sales tax revenue from out of state shippers has that big of an impact on state and local revenue.

According to the article:

>...Broader taxing power will let state and local governments collect an extra $8 billion to $23 billion a year, according to various estimates.

As a comparison in 2012:

>...Tax revenues increased in all but five states in fiscal year 2012, with some recording noticeable gains. In all, states collected $794.6 billion, a record-high that represents a 13 percent increase from 2010 totals

http://www.governing.com/gov-data/state-tax-revenue-data.htm...

So even using the high estimates of 23 billion, that would be a small fraction of total state/local tax revenue. The extra few percent of revenue from taxing out of state businesses isn't going to solve the huge list of problems you listed (nor is it obvious that the money will be spend on any of those issues).

The real question with this ruling is how much it will cost all the Internet retailers to comply with the law.

It could be a draw for the novelty and consistency. I hate having an amazing experience destroyed by the follow up visit, where someone decides to check out for their shift.
Unless it can be outsourced? Companies providing an Internet storefront that takes care of sales tax should do well. Could Stripe do this?

I've found a couple of browser bugs in different browsers (but nothing security-related). Nothing I've reported to browser teams has ever been fixed, even with simple standalone test cases. It's definitely easier just to write a workaround and call it good.

^ this. People without a sense of smell still know that the smell of feaces is not enjoyable, just by observing and learning from other people's experiences.
LOL. 5 minutes a burger, at $6/per. So this thing can sell $72 worth of burgers per hour. At that rate and price, there's no way this will ever be profitable. Even with add on sales of artisanal, hand shaved potato chips with bespoke cream soda bumping the cost up to $10 a customer, this is DOA. Interesting technology, but as a business, DOA.

Edit; I missed that he's paying his employees $16/hour (good for him). So if he has 2 employees fulltime, he's got $32/hour + payroll taxes/unemployment insurance etc to earn before he can pay off the R&D for this, his rent, his food cost, his utilities, his advertising, and then have an ROI for his investors.

And he has "experience" and a family in the business! Why they didn't talk him out of this is beyond me.
I see this as the same issue I have with any other Internet platform right now, gaming or not: the relationship is completely backwards. Rather than services referencing your data, for some cryptographically-secure owned-by-you data store, you give them things to store that are entirely outside your control.

And as if that wasn’t bad enough, data is typically really expensive (time-wise at the very least) to create. It takes years to build up gaming history, social network points, comment histories and bookmarks, etc. Instead of that being irrevocably yours, instead you’re just one forgotten password or inept cloud provider mistake away from permanently losing the results of years of effort.
Like to hear everyone's guesstimate on when/if the $/TB of SSD will cross over the HDD.
I'm with the author. This sucks.

Architects had been preserving parts of buildings by incorporating them into the new since the bronze age. You can see it all over ancient cities. It was organic.

That has been adopted as a formal (well.. semi-formal) ruleset that basically reads: "slice off the front of the building and stick it on the new one." Someone from the council comes to check you for preservation compliance, supposedly. Job done. Urban beauty preserved.

Meanwhile, it's not like they're sculpting Viennas or Oxfords. Urban planning is a jumble of chaos. I'm OK with getting creative with city planning, but either go for cheap, or beautiful, or practical. This is none of those. It's silly.
Also, if your code has a lot of branching (most of my work wouldn’t benefit from offloading to GPU), or if the data being processed in parallel at a time is too small to make up for memory transfer, it can be the right approach and provide a huge performance boost.

To me Atom feels slower and outright chokes on large files.

However, the ecosystem is nice with some good tooling for Go (go-plus) and a nice GUI to install and configure plugins.

If Sublime had the plugins I like to use I'd go back. The size, slowness and constant restarting to install updates is a pain.
> The public parking in the city is prohibitive, alone.

Prohibitive, or correctly priced?
Do fast food burger places use meat thermometers? I suppose better kitchens are more likely to, but then they also allow you to order 'rare' or 'well-done' (which sounds like it is v2.0 for the bot).
I own a Sublime Text 3 license but either VS Code or Atom have a much richer plugin ecosystem. Sublime Text 3 opens in the blink of an eye so I use it to save work notes since it opens and closes so fast.

Pretty sure Atom will just go away soon. VS Code is better at the same thing and now that they’re under the same roof it makes no sense to keep Atom around.
Sure, but what about sea organisms turning into limestone and trapping carbon in the ground? What about cloud cover changing the rate of heat absorbed from the sun? What about the plants that created the fossil fuels in the first place? How much time does it take for the effect to appear? The fossil record doesn't have a resolution of 100s of years that's important for us because if change is slow enough, we'll probably be able to reactively adapt through technology. My point is that it's too complicated for the layman to be able to calculate the average temperature change 100 year in the future. Not even to the level of whether it'll be positive or negative, let alone what effect that change might have on the ecosystem. Even the IPCC isn't sure if sea levels will rise in that time frame significantly more than they would have without fossil fuel use. It's right on the edge of uncertainty for even the consensus of climate scientists. So laymen who aren't running their own models and keeping up with all the newly discovered effects have no hope whatsoever.

Here's another way to look at it. If it's so easy to understand, why didn't anyone notice it 50-100 years ago? Well, they did but they weren't able to make predictions accurate enough to scare anyone into change. How can a non-scientist today do better than the best scientists of the last century? Do we have some easy new theory they can apply? Do we have some new data they can plug into their simple formulas to make those predictions?
The more disturbing side effects are rare, but very very serious. I would consider the drug for, say, shingles. But not a chance for a cold sore that’s nothing but a minor nuisance for a few days:

It has awesome packages and looks pretty good. I’m sure this comment is repeated in every post that has mentioned atom in the last year or two, so there may be some more in depth analysis if you do a search.

VSCode and Atom have nearly the same value prop. Atom’s ecosystem works better for me for the languages I develop in.
There are really no other good options.

The simple fact is that the American economy, and especially American financial instruments absolutely dominate the Global Economy. Consequently, a long term negative growth in the US would, by definition, lead to a Global Economic Downturn.

Lots of fluff in that. A well run small kitchen can run rings around something this size. It'll still need walk-ins to store the produce and beef, plus room for buns (which take up a crap ton of space).

Other than the beef, all the other components are standard for a decent restaurant. Fresh baked buns aren't anything special, nor is custom grind meat. And bragging about spending more on your food cost is dumb. It shows that he has no real idea about the day to day of keeping a restaurant financially afloat. He'll find out when the VC money runs out.
> Basically, you're saying that only the rich should be able to study non-STEM stuff.

I'm saying that only rich people are able to study non-STEM stuff. I mean sure, a disadvantaged person can study literature or interpretive dance or whatever, but that choice will make them a debt slave with no significantly increased earning potential.

You don't need to go to college to improve yourself as a human being. You can be well-read and appreciative of the arts without paying $100,000. And for the vast majority of people, that is the only sensible course of action.
They won't be making any profits at $72/hour in revenue.
I see IDE competition kinda like browser wars. I was just thinking the other day that VSCode was slower than it used to be. What if VSCode becomes slower? What if MS adds a bunch of bloat to it and it becomes like VS proper?

Similar to when Chrome was the shiny new entrant, while FF was suffering with memory leak issues. Today, the roles are a bit reversed.

If Atom can pull a Firefox I could see it taking market share away... anyway, competition is healthy, even if the value prop isn’t so clear right now.
I certainly hope so. Trying to manage the 4,000+ tax variations (various state and city/county) is ridiculous.

My apologies for the wording. I should have just said I wish it was used more in industry nowadays. And thanks for creating Julia btw! It's been a very enjoyable and productive language to program in.

Tax-shopping is done by everyone, and the states are fully aware that tax shopping is a thing. Claiming this as a moral failing of Elon’s is bending the truth beyond breaking point.

Do you have sources for your other claims?
Because if Compnay XYZ disagrees with your politics, you should punish them?

The same agency, ICE, does LOADS of good work, protecting America and it's citizens. Much like Microsoft (or any company)- that offers useful, widely deployed products.

Supporting GitHub/MSFT or doing business with them doesn't have to come with an implied liking of ICE.

Why would it be nonsense, when it outputs native elements, what could give it away?
If a key objection/perceived threat is that this might give someone an insertion point they're not meant to use for code ... well, let's consider that we're talking about applications distributed as interpreted language source here. Disallowing code-as-config isn't even closing the door of this particular barn after the horse has left, it's putting two strands of police line tape across the bottom half of the gap where the door was never installed and hoping any equines thinking of passage politely consider the message in case it hadn't already occurred to them which side of the entrance they preferred to be on.

Consider this: Design and optimize for the common case.

Why do we have config files? Because developers actually want a place dedicated to simple or structured application configuration data, for which PHP assignments with arrays + primitives can function at least as effectively as JSON. Most developers would prefer that config data get loaded quickly so the application can get on to doing actual app-y things. Using the language for this means you're parsing at least as fast as you can interpret and you can also take advantage of any code caching that's part of your deployment (especially nice in the PHP-likely event that config settings would be reloaded with every request).

Abuse isn't likely to be the common case. The end users you invoked certainly aren't going to be the ones looking for opportunities to insert code over data. Developers have other places to put code and, as mentioned, probably actually want a place dedicated to data. You're still right that of course someone will do it, just like someone will inevitably create astronaut architecture hierarchy monstrosities in any language with classical inheritance or make potentially hidden/scary changes to language function using metaprogramming facilities.

But potential for abuse doesn't automatically mean a feature should be disallowed.

A lot of the time it's better to let people who can be circumspect have the benefits of a potential approach, and if somebody thinks they need to solve a problem by using a technique that's arguably abuse, well, let them either find out why it's a bad idea or enjoy having solved their problem in an unusual way. Not the end of the world. Possibly even legit.

This was a surprisingy accurate account of the histories of the terms and the philisophies they (originally) described.

There is also excellent advice, implicit, if not explicit.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's broadly meaningful in the current environment where those terms are attached to job titles and/or departments fairly indiscriminantly.

A comment in your [1] link points at https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/1952#issuec... which explains why device names are immutable.

> The reason of this restriction is pretty important: we want people to be able to think of devices by name - say, when seeing them in a list, or when talking about them - and never have to think about key fingerprints or id's. The only way to achieve this safely is to make a device<->name map immutable and global, using the sig chain. Otherwise there are endless caveats and visual explanations needed showing the evolution of a device name over time.

> Consider: if an intruder steals one or more of your keys and starts doing crap to your sig chain, they still can't change the definition of "iphone6s-white". It is set in stone, which is crucial to maintain the abstraction that "iphone6s-white" is a certain key.

I agree that it sucks to have your device name become permanently unusable; I've hit this myself a few times, and it's mildly annoying to find that I have to pick a new device name in Keybase even though my local name for the device hasn't changed. But removing this restriction opens up a security vulnerability.
I'm not on Sony, but I think the appropriate analogy would be making an evernote account on google, then logging in on ios, and then subsequently being unable to use that account on google.

Debatable. Linus’s original email is unclear. “I can live with them” is badly ambiguous between:

1. Bad, but I won’t swear at you.

2. I’m not sure what I think, might be ok but needs more discussion

3. Merge them, but I want to swear about the proposed reason, because it’s bad.

I think 3 is the least likely, but nothing in the email unambiguously rules it out. I think 2 is the most likely interpretation.

There’s something funny about people saying “Linus’s style is valuable because he makes things clear” in response to a post where we can’t agree on what he meant.
