Actually, if I did, it wouldn't even be for this female, but simply to get relief from the emotional and mental torment that I have to endure most days

Looks like you are already feeling better. From the other comment, I came to know that you have managed to get over the dependency. So now hopefully, it should only get better. But even the journey to recovery has its down days.

Turns out I'm a fighter, and I intend to make it, but when things go down far enough, you just never know, because things feel bad enough that it becomes a serious consideration. Right now, it's not an option. I know that I'll quit my job and flat next month, and head back home 4 months later (everything has 3 months notice in this country).

Yes you are a fighter, as you have chosen to. Give a good fight. And please remember (as you already know) that a big component of these kinds of fights is test of your patience. God willing, you will win.

And please remember that you are not alone. There are others perhaps facing pains similar to what you are facing. And there are a whole lot of _good_ people who care, for goodness sake.
Looks like you could benefit from python's context managers (aka the "with" statement http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0343/ ). It allows you to do something at the start, do stuff in the middle, then guantee that something is done at the end, even if an exception is thrown. things that need to be closed afterwards are a great example of where with statements help.
I imagine the parent means that building single-page apps that require a full DOM+JS implementation is bad for the Web, because it cuts content off from being accessed by anything other than a full modern browser running several million lines of C++.

Though since Trent Reznor, Smashing Pumpkins etc. have used the same model for 4-5 years now I wouldn't exactly say that Louis CK was 'first'.

Of course, he's sort of a 'pet project' and lovechild of Reddit etc. But I'm pretty sure that there are many comedians, film makers, musicians etc. that would be happy to make 1/5th of 'traditional revenue' and keep 80% instead of the 5% they keep being signed to a major label.
It's the only implementation almost everybody knows of. I've never heard of any other, don't know if there is other.

In defense of the author, he does explain why it will most likely always be a language that will be implemented in a compile-to-js fashion.

Do we check compiled code when we code in C? Do we look at the Bytecode when we write Java?
This is exactly what he is complaining about.

Also, he does makes a few points about CS syntax, that can't be the implementation's fault.
I would actually counter that it's not the music industry that believes it's going the way of the dodo. I'm in the music industry. Have been for almost 15 years now and have never worried for one second about my career. I'm a musician though.

The people who are rightly worrying that their jobs are in peril are the suits (though often dressed in Tshirts and ballcaps) who bring less and less value in an age where experiments like Louis C.K.'s are a widely publicized and self-produced success. Disruption at it's finest and most liberating.

You're basically right, I just want to reinforce that there are lots of us modern music industry types who couldn't be happier about "the situation".

As a side note, I wonder how someone could plot the frequency of usage of auto-tune in the studio with record sales.
> The entire reason Go has multiple return values for functions (such as paths and err in this case) is to avoid having to encode errors in the "real" function result.

That's nonsense, MRVs are tuples (conceptually, Go implemented them with special syntax because... well, it's Go so it could not go with the general principle now could it?), so Go very specifically encodes errors in the function result.

And using a sum type would encode the error in the type, not in the result itself.

> This kind of fussy type system is at odds with Go's design goals.

There is nothing fussy about it, and the only way in which it's at odds with Go's design goals is that Go's design goals include things like "fuck you, only core types get to be generic", "that these mistakes were resolved 20 years ago does not mean we're not going to re-introduce them" and "if we give it a different name it's not the same thing, nah nah nah".

You do realize that the revenue that a comedian/Musician take home from a major label contract averages somewhere between 4-9% of total right?

If Louis CK would have really just sold the rights to comedy central, HBO etc. He could have 'pocketed' an after tax revenue of maybe $100k, with little post-air revenue.

When everything is said and done I am willing to bet my beard that this 'experiment' will net him at least $2 million more then a traditional contract.

Of course the 'pet project factor' and his timing played in, but seriously; He was NOT first!

Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing etc. have been doing this for years and continue to acknowledge the viability of the self publish model over traditional labels.

TLDR; This is not a fad, this is not a 'one off thing'. If you make something worth paying for, people will pay for it.

> As far as the actual type system, the reason they feel similar is probably because interpreted languages tend to be duck-typed, and so is Go. When you code in an interpreted languages you expect arguments to functions to be of a certain type, where type just means "responds appropriately to methods I call on it".

The person you respond to talked about OCaml. From this I infer he at least has some basic knowledge of OCaml. You don't seem to have any.

Here's a hint: OCaml's object types are structurally typed (and OCaml can actually infer types).

Your whole second paragraph is unnecessary (and unwarrantedly condescending), and the first one is basically a lie (Go is chock-full of special syntax and cases, and Go code is full of cruft).

The src/main/java part is a Maven convention: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-...

This project has a "pom.xml" (Maven configuration file) in it's root directory, so it is using Maven. While you could use alternate folder structures with Maven, that requires configuration, whereas if you use the convention, Maven reads these folders by default. So if you also had a src/test/java folder, Maven would know that your unit tests are in that folder, and would automatically run the tests as part of the build.

The org/resthub/todo part maps directly to the Java package (namespace), which would be "org.resthub.todo". As darklajid said, this is a language requirement.

These deep folder structures can be annoying if you are using a regular file browser, but Java IDEs generally flatten out the packages, so that you see all packages all at once in a list, so you don't have to do a lot of expanding of subdirectories.

I can't stress the importance of the above advice enough; just talking to someone can give you the insight you've subconsciously been looking for all the time.

If you have been living in a certain way all of your life, you have little to compare to. If you speak to someone about how you live, what problems you have, how you've tried to solve them, you'll be amazed at what you might discover from just speaking with people about it.

Open up, the worst thing that can is that the person doesn't want to listen. Then find someone else who might.

> JavaScript is forced to make the pessimal choice of only ever having dynamic-bound "this", because of that favorite whipping boy ... prototypal inheritance.

I don't think that's true: functions accessed via objects could very well be bound to the object (that's what Python does, accessing a method via an object instance returns a "bound method" which is curried with the instance, whereas accessing the same method via the class returns an "unbound method" which requires a class instance as its first argument).

10 Methods to Find Product Names
what about these reasons:

1. It's trendy. Snooty programmers use them.
2. It's hyped. Annoying masters of hyperbole won't shutup about it.
3. javascript is already easy to write, easy to read, easy to use, and well understood.

But really it's because I despise hype at such a deep and fundamental level; it leads people to being impulsive and emotional; making decisions based on personal reasons rather than finding the right tool fo the job.

countless times i've seen people work significantly longer and harder with the hype technology then if they had just been solid project managers and made good decisions regardless of what is being currently blogged about.

other times i've had legacy systems that were built in the super-trendy tech of yesteryear that was a fly-by-night and nobody uses any more ...

sometimes you will have managers for instance, that wlil request something like perl code to be rewritten in ruby or some other rearranging of the deck chairs kind of activity. It's a complete and utter waste of time. I'd rather go home and click on all those nsfw tags ...

so yeah, no freakin' way; unless there is native support, it's been around for a few years, and there is actual real solid evidence that it doesn't suck (extra time that is) for a similar goal.

Consider it a Christmas gift (because I have so far mostly tried to keep this off HN -- I really don't need 500 men hitting on me).

Given my current situation (which I know you know about since you replied here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3350035), any suggestions on how to monetize it are welcome. I think it's a good read. I'm not asking for charity (if you get value out of reading it and donate, hey, that's not charity. Comics do that all the time). I just historically have never managed to get much monetary value back for what I put out there and I would like to change that.

I started out with that idea (adding a "contribute to me" button), and tried to validate it.

It turns out that the people I approached weren't interested in a service to accept contributions if said service had significant fees, and I couldn't find a way to make those cheaper (moving money has a significant cost) and couldn't compete with Paypal Donate.

Are you using some old version of JSP? Not unlike many other mature technologies, many times people are just victims of some arbitrary corporate standard and not the tech itself.

As far as limited, I looked at Django strictly for it's vaunted templating prowess and didn't see anything that isn't easily reproducible in JSP. There could be some magic there but I missed it.

For verbosity, sure, fn:toLowerCase(string) is technically more verbose than string|lower, but marginally so.
I'll dupe the comment I wrote on another thread (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3349294 ) on this topic....

I hadn't realized that there already is an air-launch-to-orbit system called "Pegasus" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(rocket) ).

It comments that air launches reduce the costs to orbit not (as ColinWright rightly points out) through energy savings but because it 1) doesn't have as many weather-related launch delays, 2) it can insert into almost arbitrary orbits, 3) there's no need for a blast-proof pad and related ground equipment, 4) launches over an ocean save on insurance costs, and reduce collateral damage should an explosion occur, and 5) the higher altitude means the first stage engine bell doesn't need to optimized for higher pressures, and the lack of high cross-winds means there's no need for gimbals; lighter fins suffice.

On the other hand, it also says that Pegasus is "one of the most expensive "launch-to-orbit" vehicles" (I assume per-kilogram to orbit), but that the flexibility in choosing the orbit makes up for it for small payloads which otherwise must piggyback.

I was out with friends for lunch and almost everyone was saying "Someone check us in on Facebook!!!"

It also removes the mystery in interactions and makes friendship cheap. I'll meet new people and one of us would say "Yeah, just add me on Facebook" and then both of you just become Facebook friends to each other, nothing more, nothing less.

And getting to 30km straight up in a rocket shape instead of going up in a loooong slope powered by someone else seems expensive, in terms of energy used.
Some of the design work in the main case study [1] is fascinating and really good, but I think the new logo suggested is pretty poor.

It's a nice concept, but falls down badly on actually being readable and recognisable as a company logo, not a random modern art installation.

Great insight, I mostly agree. And I am really crossing my fingers that HTML5 will quickly become a recognized app technology across all web platforms.
When you look at it, you see the 'h' and the 'p', but when you just glance at it, it's nothing. The effect is kinda neat, but I'm tempted to say that 'clever' is not what a logo should be (and I think clever here is being generous).

edit: at least not this kinda of clever, where the whole thing is hidden.
Quote the article, "Need to prove something you already believe? Statistics are easy: All you need are two graphs and a leading question".

It wouldn't be such a bad idea if:

1) it only downloaded a new version of the app when it changed (easy with ETags);

2) apps were lightweight (hard on current mobile platforms).

If platform vendors and application developers cared, it would be easy to make most applications weigh a few hundred kilobytes. We could then do exactly like what Web apps such as Twitter do natively.
That works in Python, because Python has a distinction between an "instance" object, and, say, a Dict. In JavaScript an object is an object is an object -- under your proposed change, what would be the value of "this, in this:

I wonder if the Pepsi execs are still looking at this doc and wondering why they are second to Coke and Diet Coke?
I think he(and maybe you) underestimate how bad it is. Just because your shitty situation gradually improves, it doesn't make it a good situation, it makes it a slightly better shitty situation.
I clicked reply during the time you wrote your own reply I guess. The fact that going up a slope with a jet-engine is preferred is all due to costs. Jet-engines are just cheaper to operate (and easier to supply with fuel). Perhaps more energy is required in total; but this energy is released in a much cheaper way.
Thanks, that article (especially [1]) made a couple of claims that I could digest and believe.

1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_%28rocket%29#Carrier_a...
Absolutely. I don't mean that dynamic "this" is required by prototypal inheritance in general -- I mean that it's required because of JavaScript's particular implementation of prototypes, where they're exposed to you as a value, but there's no syntax where the language can tell that you're in the process of building one out.

HP is a big enough company that they will be able to take this and make it recognizable. As with any brand, it will take a lot of time, but I'm interested to see how this works for them.

It's likely the most abstract and simple logo I've seen a company of this size try using, so I admire this move on their part because it's risky and interesting. I do question the 13° thing, though. It may be crossing the line of simplicity and non-description if they intend to move on to just a forward-slash in a decade. I don't know if such a simple shape can do the job of a logo.

edit: Regardless, almost any logo can be a good logo if it's stamped on good products.
