It won't be tied to a single VCS or centralized service. It will support everything 'go get' does, which is several different VCS systems and I think all popular public hosting providers. The trick is getting code from secured, private repos, which takes a varying amount of effort (eg. set up firewall rules and a web server on the domain name you are using in your import paths to return the magic headers to inform 'go get' that it actually needs to use ssh and where on the remote filesystem to go)
while that's true in a lot of cases, I'd be careful. calling the police is far from the only recourse available to people.
What's involved in recovering the data if the controller fails?
What I've seen indicates that after charging they are required to return the scooters to their "Bird's nest", not to an arbitrary location of their choosing.

It might be that they choose to forfeit the reward for the initial charging by not returning the scooters, but that seems like more of a no-brainer to detect; chargers who routinely do not return their scooters to their nests would be extremely easy to detect.

Easier might be to check them out as riders, then toss them in the van and "return" them to the charger's backyard or garage; if you have a group of people who are in on this, then it seems like you could make this nearly undetectable by pooling the risk.
Guys, I really don't mind the downvotes. And I won't ask for clarification either.
But I believe sharing someone's experience I believe doesn't deserve a downvote. Anyway, downvote as much as you want :)
That's mostly it.
Personally I find Elixir's syntax confusing. For example:

Losing the ; and . function endings from Erlang you can put same-named functions throughout your module. I tried doing

def create
def handle(:create)

def update
def handle(:update)

But the compiler warns. So that loss isn't helpful.

Atoms require a : because variable names are lowercase.

Uppercase variable names and lowercase module names is easier to read in Erlang.

The syntactic sugar is too clever for readability imo.

The package management through mix is decent. I used to use an erlang.mk file, looking at hex it looks like the Erlang ecosystem is quite evolved.

Phoenix + Ecto seem to be very actively maintained, useful if you're writing web apps.

When I tried Cowboy a few years ago some of the documentation was out of date, so that's a point in Elixir's favor.

AKA the Reddit Effect. Everyone on Reddit posts as if they know what they're talking about when, in reality, they only have a cursory knowledge of it and yet the entire site is somehow treated as a curated collection of high-quality, factual information.
Mhm, isn't that one of the recommendations for freelancing when you get an offer that you don't really want to do and you don't want to say 'no' to their face?

Give them a price quote so ludicrously high they either walk away balking or take you up on it, which means that while you're doing the job you didn't want you also get a ton of money and some data on how much your services are valued.

In this case, apply to the daycarer actually staying late.
Launching a (classifies) satellite into a useful-for-spying orbit is one level of secret, although clearly something which could be done with unmanned rockets (as was done later).

One of the super secret missions they used to sell the shuttle program was capture (and theft, or tampering and replacement?) of foreign in-orbit satellites. There isn’t any solid evidence this was ever done, but it was a unique capability of something like the shuttle.
That I don't have a problem with. You can have people see all kinds of crap while tripping on LSD without issue.

It's the mechanics like 10^(layers deep) where going deeper kept increasing time compression in dreams. Dragon Ball Z for example had space ships, but the mechanics of the world where based on fantasy ideas.
The average driver drives like 13,500 miles a year [1].

The average driver files a claim for collision once every 17.9 years [2].

That makes human drivers 16 times safer than Uber self-driving cars. This is concerning for people who think self-driving cars are right around the corner! Improved algorithms would need to avoid 94% of the collisions that self-driving cars currently get into in order to have the same failure rate as humans.

Don't forget ageism. Older people love memes with "back in my day" in the headline that shows some perceived difference between when they were young and the youth of today. I have friends who sometimes share that stuff on their social media. When I jokingly called out a friend recently about his "back in my day" jokes, he didn't even realize he was indulging in ageism. I imagine most don't.
Insurance against wildfires doesn't really work. You get one big event and it wipes everything out. It doesn't make any sense for the insurance company to take that bet, unless they're shady and they discharge all of the claims in bankruptcy.

Do you have any specific evidence that the school system teaches that the victim mentality is the greatest ideal? From what I can tell this is a popular belief amongst some that is without support or a basis in fact.

Google having 50 billion dollars in cash is irrelevant. What makes you think they'd spend that on legal fees/settlements?

Perhaps I've got a better chance of winning a class action suit, but it probably returns me as an individual a tiny amount of money. Still not a winning proposition.
A lot of people hate that film, but I liked it. It got me in to the books, and I think it's a fine scifi film.. though I wouldn't mention it in the same breath as 2001.
Same for me. I have a couple of domains with hosting at them, which get about 20k users per day in total. I've been a customer for 10 years or so and while there were some hiccups sometimes, usually it just works without problems.

Their 1st line support is not the greatest when there is an actual problem, though. Luckily I only had a few problems during the years.
My favorite recursive entity is the Stanford Academic Senate’s Committee on Committees. I imagine the inaugural meeting, called to order some time in 1957, is still ongoing to this day.
Perhaps if the problem is hoarders taking scooters without checking them out first, I think freezing the charger reward price when a scooter is moved is probably the best technical solution. They’ll no longer have an incentive to take them and hold on to them waiting for the reward price to increase which is the problem explained in the article.

> cost savings/increased efficiency is the name of the game

I'd say "socializing losses, privatizing gains" is the name of the game. Those popular disruptive startups dump plenty of externalities on everyone around them. Don't think for a moment that anyone there is increasing efficiency for the sake of increasing efficiency globally; it's just disrupting the society and hoping money pours through the cracks.
“General concern” isn’t necessarily a valid complaint, or understanding of the situation.

The GDPR gives _individuals_ power over their data. It’s not “big government oversight” (whether you think that’s good or bad).
Kevin Kelly has an interesting take on this in _What Technology Wants_ [1]. Essentially - that these sort of works were inevitable. If Kubrick, Gates, or Bezos hadn't made 2001, MS, or AMZ - someone else would have. Not _exactly_ the same thing of course, but something so similar as to fill the same spot in history. 2001 happened because 1968 was, in a sense, "ripe" for it. The book undoubtably explains it better. :-)

(Weird. This is the second book recommendation I've made on HN today... I swear I'm not a bot!)

TC is DOA on Materialistic so yeah, someone who's not me should.
What is godaddy supposed to have done wrong here? OP strangely enough doesn't seem to make any specific claims of wrongdoing.
I didn't know Hickey was a C++ hacker. Explains his dim view of OO. Maybe someone should have introduced him to Smalltalk?

Anyway, I find the use of the term "callback" somewhat troubling in the context of OO software. A "callback" is really a procedural concept. In an OO language, it's just a message that you send to one of your arguments, and since message sending is all you can do, the most natural thing in the world.

One example here that's also popular particular in the FRP examples is the button, which needs a "callback". But when you look at a button in Objective-C/Cocoa, it just sends a message to an object. No callbacks in sight, though of course the actual underlying mechanism is very similar.

This turns something like Cocoa into an architectural adapter, adapting the UI into the message-sending architecture of the rest of the program. The user becomes a participant in the program, sending messages to objects in the program by way of the button.

So the lack of growth (https://milescorak.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/branko-milano...) of the middle classes in the west is just the effect of bad decisions on a massive scale?
I am interested by society's desire to blame an entire generation's worth of young people for how they turned out.

Millennials did not ruin the economy in 2008, make a college education cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, or impose 40 years of wage stagnation in this country. These kids and young adults are just a product of the environment that their parents and grandparents built for them.

We should instead talk more about what Gen Xers and Baby Boomers did for the fortunes of Millennials rather than how insufferable Millennials are.

Nothing. The public had already forgotten this matter.
My understanding of GoDaddy over the last couple of decades is that they weren't always a bad player in the space. They are, supposedly still, the largest registrar. I don't see a future where that can ever stay true, however. I used to use them, but my final straw was their backing of SOPA in an incredibly heated time for Internet legislation which has reverberated into present day.

A lot of their market presence in the past had to do with their marketing, such as the Super Bowl commercials they ran, GoDaddy partner Danica Patrick, and some local philanthropy in Arizona, where their headquarters is.

Eventually, people found better deals with Gandi, Namecheap, and others, and their industry force evolved into one with far less impact.

Now the industry is evolving into one with no overhead with Cloudflare providing domains at-cost as companies provide value-added services which subsidize operating costs for providing domains to customers. This will ultimately put companies we've known in the past to be giants, and to this day are still publicly traded, in dire straits as they find new ways to stay relevant.

GoDaddy provides no high-value value-added services in comparison to other market leaders. So, for most who have moved on, there's no reason to go back. They are a now a middleman for no one other than small agencies or individual customers at best, who arguably do not provide any value for them either.

We'll see what happens to GoDaddys, Namecheaps, and Network Solutions when you can't charge people for domains anymore. What happened to TLS certificates will almost certainly happen to domains, too, albeit with ICANN fees remaining as the last overhead.
This one hurts because I recommended to and helped a number of business users to use Fusion tables as an alternative to building out something in-house.

It's really weird for them to write: "Google has developed several alternatives, providing deeper experiences in more specialized domains" and then not actually provide any alternatives.
I loosely followed this after seeing the repo. Once it was taken down I made an organization and repo in honor of it: https://github.com/Ifyoudonotwantpeopleusingthemaximumchar/a...

e38e had become much like https://github.com/jezen/is-thirteen or https://github.com/jackdclark/five in my opinion. Except instead of being a silly NPM package it was a silly Rosetta Stone of programs that returned "e" in some way. The only difference was the ridiculous name that used the full character limit.

The Conway's Game of Life mentioned at the bottom of this blog was a thing of beauty, so I hope the creator is able to get an archive and recover it.

Webdriver.io for newbies
Agreed, which is why I really love camel camel camel. Makes me a much more informed consumer. I wish they had other sites that they tracked.
On modern MLC/TLC SSDs, read-only mode doesn't really exist. The NAND blocks must be re-programmed after a number of read accesses to mitigate read disturb. If anything, mounting read-only is probably a corner case, stressing the firmware's read disturb mitigation.

The tradeoff from worse read disturb characteristics is NAND that is 100x cheaper per GB than in 2000.

Back end Python, Ruby skills most difficult to find in Barcelona: Joppy
Without perpetual growth wouldn't those who are not already well off have almost no hope of getting ahead? That is, it seems like currently the system only works for at least the middle class because people can invest in 401ks and mutual funds. If those were taken away then what would the non 1% have left?

Edit: To be clear, I mean this as an honest question. I see a lot of smart people arguing that expectations of growth need to change in order to tackle issues like global warming, but I don't see a scenario where that doesn't result in most people becoming serfs.

You're saying "willfully unintelligent" as if he's explicitly trying not to be intelligent. But that's the opposite of what's going on. He's examined the science and he sees problems with it. He's heard the counter-arguments, and he isn't convinced, because of what he sees as a lack of evidence.

This is the same kind of fundamental misunderstanding that separates (for example) a white supremacist from one who is not. The general idea is that the former is refusing to reason, examine, or use logic. But if you talk to a white supremacist or neo-Nazi at length, you find that they have nuanced, complex, logical explanations for their beliefs. They may be wildly inaccurate, but that isn't to say they didn't put thought into it. Not only that, but their positions are bolstered by the fact that there's basically no way to completely disprove them, because it would require observing nature over millennia, or having records we just don't have.

Calling them willfully unintelligent not only misunderstands their reasoning, but it questions their motives. It's not just a false observation, it's an accusation. This moves the conversation from "I don't think you're right" to "you're a bad person". And I think that's at the core of how political and ideological discourse is so rotten today.
What does this typically mean for employees? Layoffs or no further investment ?
I'm a 26 year old male living in NY.

First car: $2200 purchase price. 98 vw cabrio. 36k miles in 2010. It died in 2016 due to an electrical issue. Sold to scrap, but I also collected an insurancr pay out from it when someone hit me.

$2200 / 72 = $30 per month.

Bought a 2005 ford focus. Needed the extra space and had to buy it quickly and unexpectedly. Paid $3000, with 100k miles.

It's been 1 year already, and I'm expecting 3 total years of life out of it.

$3000 / 36 = $83 a month.

Not bad at all really! Insurance is $55 a month and I don't spend much on tires/oil.
I believe this is precisely the concept under critique.
In my opinion, transportation theft needs to be punished more severely than other theft of the same value.

Let's put it on the order of years, not just for Bird's sake. bicycles are a unique combination of valuable, vulnerable, and hard to catch the theft of.

When society does catch someone doing this, we should be putting them away on the order of years. Just my opinion though.
I think I typed this twice into my C64 and never got it working either. Always wondered what the output looked like.

I imagine that is defeated by simply saying "I refuse to lie", which could be career suicide but it's still an option. I can see how legally they could say "you can't reveal that information, it's a matter of national security" but I don't quite think we're at the point in America where they can go "Say this or go to prison".
Count of unique words tend to be a function of the length of a document or corpus. So the comparison won't make sense either, if you take every artists complete works and did a unique count.
If you enjoyed Dr Strangelove, check out Seven Days in May. It's kind of like a serious version of the former, and was made right around the same time. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's still a good, and undeservedly overlooked film.

Scrapie, a prion disease of goats and sheep, is severe enough that there are national efforts to combat it.

What if this were suddenly transmissible to humans?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapie

"In the United Kingdom, the government has put in place a National Scrapie Plan, which encourages breeding from sheep that are genetically more resistant to scrapie. This is intended to eventually reduce the incidence of the disease in the UK sheep population."

this is the thing about most of what we're doing with machine learning. It gets exponentially harder the closer you get to 100%; most of the things we use machine learning for where it works pretty well, 99% is really pretty great. 99% won't cut it for self-driving cars.

Which isn't to say that self driving cars won't get there, just that the fact that it looks like we are almost there doesn't mean as much as you'd think; we still have the really hard bits in front of us.
This is going to sound pretentious, but I think some people just don’t enjoy the artistic aspects of film making beyond plot and action. It can be the most beautiful, awe-inspiring imagery ever put to film, and if there isn’t a clear plot and a love interest and a chase scene, they just aren’t interested.

Interstellar is another movie that’s polarizing like that. To me, watching it in imax was just an overwhelming, powerful experience, but about half of the people I saw the movie with hated it because the plot is sort of a mess.
There is an entire section where they not only list and link to the alternatives but also describe how they can act as a replacement.
My team (well, mostly just me) are pioneering Phabricator as a replacement for the Atlassian suite. Phabricator has been born in Facebook (it looks a little like FB in 00's :)).

Main advantages:

- It's rather a framework with dozens of small apps that adhere to the KISS principle

- Core elements are Users, Projects, Tasks, Repos (git, svn or hg) and Differentials (like PRs)

- Has shitload more, like Pastebin for example

- Task can be in multiple projects/views

- Tasks can have parent/child relationships

- Task can mention other tasks and objects

- Has an app called Herald, which handles event-based hooks

- Has a CLI tool called Arcanist which replaces git (well, it's rather a wrapper that adds few api calls)

- Allows you customize the system to YOUR workflow, not the other way around

Disadvantages:

- PHP (even for the CLI tool)

- MySQL

One of the benefits no other tool gave me is that I can backtrack from a line of code to the original Task or its parent epic.
I agree, I love it even more for making small tools where i can just skip the whole folder structure and just have a .go file in a directory and compile it to a bin without all the fuzz of build tools, special folder structures etc. Of course for bigger, shared projects i know these tools help, but sometimes when you just want to make something small, or test something, i find these tools just get in my way.
I was shopping with my fiancee on Amazon last night, and she mentioned that she always ignores the first row of search results, which are often highly reviewed but unknown Chinese brands, and goes for the brands that she knows and trusts. She feels that the reviews are not always trustworthy.
Very sad about this. I was searching for a good online, collaborative database, where I can define clear schemas and provide certain views on it, for a small, public database a few friends and me are working on. Fusion Tables seemed to fit the bill as Google Sheets was basically too unstructured for this (basically I tried to find a free, collaborative, simple MS Access)
I agree, that price seems too much without knowing how much I will like it ($79 and $149 USD). I'd suggest they break it up into 2-3 books at a lower price so it doesn't feel like such a commitment :) It does look very good though!
Scala is for people who weren’t around for C++ template metaprogramming.
They registered a domain soon as OP searched for it and jacked up the price, basically.
