How clearly and "piss easy" your product or service works makes a big difference too. I run e-learning ventures since a few years and just changing the starting page of a course area can have dramatic influence on the amount of customer support you have to take care of.

After some time having a rather expensive product that is still popular is the best of both worlds and it can work out, especially if you are in a market where people need what you offer.

A bit off-topic, but NFC is really not the tech you'd use for this. It requires devices to be very close to each other, and has very low bandwidth. Even low-power Bluetooth would give you about twice the bandwidth, at much better range.

The rumor I've heard is that some of these sites, like extremetech (and physorg and sciencedaily and pandodaily) use bots to auto-submit everything.

The assumption I'd make about the rest is that they hire college students to pretend they're bots that auto-submit everything.
I don't know much about any of the Java web frameworks-- my only experience with a web framework on a statically typed platform is with ASP.NET MVC. ASP.NET MVC makes heavy use of reflection, and runtime errors are common -- something that's also true of the common ORMs for .NET. So even though you're on a statically-typed platform, you sometimes aren't getting the classical 'perks' of static-typing, particularly the compile-time errors.

I've got a casual interest in Haskell and flipped through Learn You A Haskell's earlier chapters, but I can't scan snippets of fancy Meta-Haskell well, so some of the specifics here are probably lost on me. The text of the slides does seem to admit that the author is also kind of new to Yesod. (I've never met a Yesod expert...)

With all of that said, I think that part of the premise was that while Yesod's not a typical 'web platform for a static language', it's an interesting case study because it (apparently) tries harder to maintain compile-time benefits static typing everywhere. (I understand this is true of the persistence layer as well)

I agree that the content isn't what you'd expect given the title, but I get why the author's interested in Yesod and why it was chosen to represent the 'static' side.
Why choose a language with good semantics if the syntax is awful?

Most languages today offer the same semantics - first class functions, objects, namespacing. Apart from that core, there isn't really a huge variance except for fringe languages that, generally, have severe syntactical limitations as a result.

> Each month, you send me $100, and I will send you back copies of hot movies of varying quality, but all perfectly legal

Your snide comment is way off the mark. By your tone I'm assuming you're staunchly anti-piracy and don't pirate stuff, so you don't have experience with the actual quality of pirated media.

As a long-time pirate (10+ years), I can unequivocally tell you that pirated media is lightyears ahead of anything available legally. By using just 1 (one) torrent site, I can gain access to pretty much every single movie, music album, video game (console or PC), piece of software (all platforms), and book. The downloads almost always max out my connection.

As for quality - it's better than if you buy the media. Netflix and iTunes are just now bringing out 1080p content, and it's almost definitely going to be compressed in a lossy way. I can torrent the original Bluray disc image (~50 GB) if I want to, or get a high quality X264 compressed version to save space/bandwidth. You're not forced to go with the one thing that's offered to you. Both options have been available ever since Bluray (and HDDVD) first came out. I've been watching 1080p content for years without ever buying a Blu-ray drive or any other special hardware.

And the best part of all - both the downloading process and the files I get are in standard & open formats that I can run & view on my Linux PC. What's available for download is browsed via a normal web browser, the BitTorrent protocol is open and has been implemented on Linux many times over, and I've never had any issues playing back content once it's been downloaded - the formats are open and are supported by a variety of open source media players.

Let me know when I can run iTunes or Netflix on Linux. I doubt it'll ever happen.

Oh, and VPN services don't cost $100 a month. You can get them for less than $20/month. When I was sharing a seedbox with a friend, it was $10/month for unlimited data transfer and 250 GB of storage space.

Reddit ads targeting those subreddits might also be effective.
it's fully customizable too. e.g. if you work in a LISP REPL and use rlwrap to provide readline functionality, you could put this in your ~/.inputrc:

$if lisp
set comment-begin ;
M-;: insert-comment
$endif
That's a nice-to-have but certainly no must-have. Even if each work of art had an average of say, ten rips - unlikely, given the cost of making a rip and the loss of utility for making the 10th rip - the cost for yet another petabyte is hardly a problem (consider the analogy with software performance and additional resources).

As for the "best rip problem" ad hoc meta-solutions like NFO aggregation sites will arise where tagging would be of most use. Good old regular expression can also do some good for those who wish to have a smaller and cheaper hard drive.
A way to track all your polls would definitely be helpful. Hopefully we can come up with something for that soon!
>* But I'd just like to say that it's so awesome to live in a time when we can start a topic of conversation about someone of note, and there's a chance that this individual will join the conversation personally.*

Which is not unlike how it was when communities where constrained in population. E.g. in ancient Athens for example you could have --if you lived at the right point in time and weren't a slave-- a conversation with the greatest minds of the era, from Socrates to Plato, to mathematicians etc...

So, a "global village" indeed...

Usually, expressivity in a programming language is not really a matter of syntactic constructs but a matter of semantic constructs. But choosing a programming language involves much more than semantic (or syntax). Depending on the situation, community, compilers and tools, libraries, consultancy houses, documentation and books, are all reasons to choose or not a language.

Some even says that the number of programmers available on the market for a language is important. I don't think it is a good reason but a related one is: your existing user base is composed of companies and consultancies with their own programmers; you can't abruptly choose a different programming language than the one they know.
If the service is affordable, it won't have what you want. If it has what people want it will cost $100/month. This is basically the Netflix dilemma.
I’ve worked for 2 company Bs so far and can honestly say that I think I’d much rather prefer a company A instead.

Both company Bs are a little over 10 years old, and still run the same software they started out with. They both have had a history of having a few very large customers each year, each of them demanding a lot of customization. It could be the way the each company B handled it, but it shows. The codebase and system architecture is a mess, full of quick fixes and patches because big customer x was requesting feature y.

It’s made for an extremely frustrating system to work with. I’m sure a lot of it could have been avoided, but at the same time things sometimes needed to be done quick and dirty, and the software team probably didn’t have the resources to do things the “right way.” It’s easy to criticize looking back. Probably one of those things easier said than done.

If you are running or working at a company B, please please please think of the future, the business scalability/maintainability, and the sanity of your employees/peers.
Rereading this I realize I got my hardware mixed up: X was written on the VS100 terminal. The VT1000 was, in fact, an X terminal from many years later. And early versions of X were done closer to the Blit's era, in 1984-85. It wasn't until 1986 that the widely shared X10 release showed up, though.
To be fair, as a non-Lisper that knows Lisp, it's all about the libraries and the language-as-a-platform.

If WordPress was written in Lisp, I'm sure many more people would use it. It's sort of a chicken and egg problem, I guess.
Easy...both.

Keep the $10/mo plans for consumers. And offer the $1,000/mo enterprise plans for enterprise.

As a data point I have about 900,000 customers to service (iPhone apps). I've also had times in my career where I have had one customer (department of defense). I'm much happier with the 900,000. I think an assumption Jason makes that i would contest is that you need to provide the same level of service to 10,000 people that you would provide to 10. When your app is at a low price point, you aren't competing on customer service anymore. So why try? Just use a virtual assistant to handle level one service requests, have a FAQ, etc.
Thanks for the feedback. A "save for later" feature is an interesting idea. I'll put that on my list.

New York City, Rails, Full time

I work at Kickstarter we are looking for more Rails engineers that want to write mission critical code that enables thousands of people to realize their creative dreams.

Features are developed by small groups of engineers, designers, and product managers. Some of the projects we’re working on right now include: tools for Kickstarter’s project creators, payment processing for millions of dollars in pledges every week, and new ways to discover projects through social recommendations and data analysis.

We deploy daily for features big and small, and encourage contribution to open source projects. Everyone in product and design commits code, so expect to work closely with people up and down the stack (right now we're 7 engineers with another 5 or 6 committers). We develop in Rails and JavaScript/jQuery, host on AWS, and manage code in git — but we’re not dogmatic about it.

You can checkout some of the projects we've open sourced on our github organization page here: https://github.com/kickstarter

So if you’re interested in helping us build a platform that is changing how culture gets made, get in touch -- jobs [at] kickstarter.com. We’d love to see your favorite work, whether it’s a side project or your github profile.

CCAN looks really promising. I really wish it would take off. IMO every language should have it's own PyPI/CPAN/Gems implementation.

Having dependency management tool for that will also be incredibly useful. (Is there anything like pip for C modules?)
LOL I used to own a computer game center and had two dedicated T1's bonded and traffic managed. The CS players would complain if the ping time spiked from 20ms to 25ms to a server and would say it was causing them to miss shots. I reviewed the connections for jitter and all sorts of things and they would never believe that the 5ms didn't make the difference.

To prove the point I downloaded a simple javascript stoplight app that would measure reaction time and told them if anyone could beat my times I'd give them an all day pass. And it never happened.. not even once.. and the times were lucky to be in the 210+ms range. 5ms wasn't causing them to miss the shot..

For those who are interested:

You're right, clear can sometimes be quite slow on some hardware. Fast clears tend to only be limited to all 0s or all 1s and only full screen. In the worst case, the hardware has no support at all and has to setup and rasterise a full-screen quad and send that down the pipeline.
Thanks for taking the time to answer this yourself. This answer is awesome, by the way.

Yes, because them knowing if you're an organ donor actually matters to them in the long run.
I would disagree. Semantically, we're reaching a point where most popular languages have a similar feature set (semantically speaking), and as new semantic constructs are created, they're quickly ported to other languages.

I agree with you about the 'platform' of a language, though. That's one of those things that you can't get away from.
I'd assume that Carmack was going by the same distance that the key was depressed in the reference frame for each test.

The variance on that would be about one frame, would would add up to 4 ms for each test. However, since the input device did not change between the experimental equipment, it's a constant error that would be added into every test, making that a wash.
I can tell you from our experience with Stormpulse that this is 100% false and backwards. Those that pay more are more willing to work with you. Nothing more expensive than someone that expects the world for $10.
I've been trying to explain to people lately how to use Github and every time I tell them to go to "Commits" they get totally lost. Everything is the same grey bland, there are a total of about 7 navigation bars, and a lot of clutter. The fact that they get lost is a clear sign that something is very wrong.

This design is obviously a recognition of the problems and a suggestion of what could be. It's not 100% right but it illustrates the possibilities.

I'm very confident that the guys at GH know this though and I'm looking forward to what they come up with.
Uniformity and automation.

With only 10 customers, the customers are less likely to be uniform than with 1000. With 10 customers automation is overengineering, but you can only get to 1000 customers if your processes are automated.

So the 1000 customer company seems more attractive to an investor (or candidate employee) than the 10 customer company.
I have been signed as an organ donor since I was 18. Not that it will do any good because I have been infected with Hep B, but hey, maybe there will be a Hep B user who can use some of my organs?
What you're saying is that you don't like Haskell's syntax because it's not C's syntax. The unfamiliarity card is not a legitimate card in the game of criticism.

> I'd rather use the same words everyone else is using so it will be easier to communicate with them.

Would you be happier if C was the only language, and everyone just had to use C?

> If Haskell were as great of a language as you say, it would be more popular.

This is completely non sequitur. Popularity has little to do with the advantages offered by a language. At one time, C was not so popular.
This isn't private medical information. Every single bouncer that I've encountered knows that I'm an organ donor.

It probably depends on how the button is debounced as well. Software and physical debounces are both generally tuned for at least a few milliseconds and potentially over ten milliseconds of latency.

A better trigger could be built by interfacing a microcontroller over USB HID and having it send a simulated keystroke or button press at the same time as turning on an LED.

I think that the "deprecation cycle" is ultimately hurtful for Scala. Breaking changes in a programming language are immensely difficult and expensive for enterprises to deal with, and breaking changes in core libraries are no picnic either. I'd be extremely hesitant to advise my employer to adopt a language whose maintainers have a cavalier attitude about such things, because it does really bad things to our ability to predict costs.
@jkochris, Fair enough. My first post was quick to attack (and I have now edited this to show my points in a calmer manner) however I'm unsure why my second post was downvoted as it was - as far as I'm concerned - a perfectly legitimate response.

As for not reading the article, I can assure you that I did. I am simply sick of quality software being ruined. I think the perfect example of this is the Gnome desktop, which is being trashed by designers who are removing key features and functionality - all in the name of simplifying and making things look "elegant" and "beautiful". There are many more cases of this, both commercially (Windows 8 may be the latest example, soon enough) and in the open-source world.
