The syntax put me off at first, and still bothers me a bit (something to do with too much symbolic sugar and existing familiarity with escape chars)

That said...

I feel like this streaming syntax might be better suited as a meta-programming framework of sorts...build the more intricate objects/modules in a language such as C/C++ or java, and use these stream/latch metaphors to orchestrate those modules.

Yes, you can already do this with *sh (largely the point of Unix pipes), or directly in C/C++/Java (e.g. Storm), but ANI seems to provide a really rich interface for this kind of orchestration. It has many of the right primitives.

This hits close to home (literally). I've used Uber in Boston lots of times and while the service is pricier than conventional taxis, it's a nice way to guarantee yourself a ride at high-demand times.

This is not competitive with existing taxi service but complementary: if I see a regular taxi coming, I'll take it; if I need to call for a guaranteed car at an odd time, I'll use Uber.

I hope this gets resolved in a way that works for us customers. Innovation should be harnessed, not punished.
Who says anyone changed their opinion?

Sorry, but it appears to me to be that he wants as most coding done as possible before he invariable cuts you out of the deal. Going public would mean that you have a kind of partnership and are therefore entitled to equity. By keeping it private, or in a prototype phase, he can keep the number of people who are aware you are working together to a minimum.
have you tried saving the code first? it looks like you're running "myfunction", because google spreadsheets don't know the copy/pasted functions ...
As this price ($199~=$250NZ) they wont be able to make them fast enough which is exactly the kind of marketing MSFT needs. Lets say they lose $300 on each device. That means the can sell 80 million a year and still be profitable. That would give them 20% market share! Steve Balmer should put himself in the ads too, his ads were great when Windows first came out. I'd definitely buy one because it will run Office and Visual Studio right? I mean they wouldn't dilute the Windows brand with a Windows but not actual Windows device, that would be crazy. And the new Modern UI (moo-ey), its so colourful. (I love #A05000).
As always in situations like this, my thoughts are simultaneously on how awesome Uber is, and how not awesome every other service/scam that takes advantage of this flexibility might be.

It is very important that cities be able to provide visitors with a reliable way to get a ride from point A (usually: the airport) to point B (usually: the convention center hotel) at a predictable price.

Obviously, Uber doesn't prevent visitors from getting to the convention center directly; Uber isn't taking up spots at the cab stand at LGA. But if the "Uber way of doing business" effectively drives regulated cabs out of business, that's a problem.

Also do you have an equivalent page to this (http://www.10gen.com/presentations) . Basically a page that lists every presentation and videos that speak about riak.
> My primary motivation is maintainability, and your claims to the contrary come across as pretty condescending.

It's simple frustration with ego-based arguments from programmers that ultimately results in poor code bases.

Ego-based programming arguments are predicated on the idea that those that fail to deliver clarity must simply not be smart, wise enough, or skilled enough -- whereas with just a sufficient level of intelligence and skill and wisdom, one can produce lofty, comprehensible, elegant code.

If there's one constant I've found in my career, it's that everyone is dumber than they think, and everyone screws up. The ONLY thing that produces high quality code is careful attention to detail and slavish devotion to documenting and testing.

It's no different than any other pursuit; even a master carpenter will draw up plans, follow them, and measure twice (or three times). To think that one is smart enough to write perfectly literate code is foolish, and to force your future maintainers to deal with your uncommented code is to foist the costs of your short-term decisions onto them.
I was amazed by this sentence in the C&D:

"Massachusetts law does not sanction unapproved devices for use in commercial transactions."

Does that mean what I think it means? If I use an iPhone app to calculate the tax, and it's not approved, then I broke the law? Does this apply to Square, too? I thought that there was an English common law principle that "Everything which is not forbidden is allowed".
We use the same technology that Apple uses in its native camera app to write video. That experience is pretty seamless and has been optimized by Apple to not impact performance.

This is especially sad considering a recent cab experience I had in Boston. I lived in Boston for a about 5 years before moving out to Seattle, where I recently started using Uber. Boston has one of the worst cab situations especially if you go out late at night. I was back in Boston a few weeks ago, and ended up running into a few friends and stayed up till 3AM. When it was time to go home, there were either cabs that had passengers, or ones that just didn't want to stop despite waiting for 10 minutes. I pull out the Uber app and get a ride in literally a couple of minutes. My friends hadn't heard of the service and they were just dumbfounded that something like this existed, and they all became customers on the spot.

In Seattle, I use Uber only when I have to since cabs are easy to get. I can't imagine using Uber in Manhattan. But in a city like Boston with a shortage of cabs, and just generally grumpy cab drivers I can imagine Uber was just putting a serious dent in the cab business, more so than other cities.
That code you linked has lots of comments containing lots of information. How is this an example of how Senior Programmers are against comments?
But I read this article instead of working so...
You just spammed my entire friend list with private messages, without my confirmation!

I clicked 'import facebook friends' assuming it would simply import their friend id's and message them when I tried to send them something. When I saw that you wanted to send them "invites", I clicked "cancel", but you sent several hundred messages anyway. This is unacceptable behavior by any application. I haven't been this pissed in a long time, now I have to spend an hour manually messaging each of those people and apologizing for the spam.
Congrats Connor and Colton! So excited to use this.

It is great, but in my opinion "almost as good" is a big stretch. Having a tutor right next to you is fundamentally different in a number of ways. For one, you can ask any question and likely have it answered immediately.

Of course, the KhanAcademy course actually exists whereas private tutors for all students do not. So my point only stands in an idealized world were we assume cost/time/space are no obstacle.
Two reasons (neither dispositive):

(i) The cities in which Uber operates usually have dysfunctional cab systems. San Francisco, for instance, is notoriously underserved.

(ii) Much of the regulatory overhead in running a cab/livery service really is an artifact of top-down market controls from the turn of the last century that have been exploited to lock the market to a privileged few operators.
Downvotes instead of an answer. That's awesome.
+1 for Gandi, I've only heard good things about them. I've been with fasthosts.co.uk for 10 years now(with zerigo for as long as I can remember as well), I've currently got 20 domains registered with them and I can't remember having had any problems with them.
I am only speculating but we know a few things

1. Its part of a wider eco-system of collecting / infecting / attacking "framework". It seems that attacking uranium enrichment was just a "plug-in".

2. They have designed for multiple infection vectors. Now if it can get in it can also get out. I would not be surprised if the family of malware here is also able to hook into outlook.exe, and even piggy back on IE connections. There is no particular reason why a payload cannot be steganographically put into every photo uploaded to irans' facebook. Which may not be entirely secure of couse :-)

The possibilites when you have the money and time are incredible.

So, no, something as silly as transmitting over UDP from the agents laptop back to www.cia.gov is unlikely, but this things will just keep pushing data around and around till it gets either home, or to a target.

Sadly, much of the code is out in the open. And is surely being pulled apart by other nationstates and the mafia.

Fun times ahead
No, I don't think that's what they mean. They're referring to meters.
> Don't you have to log in to your G+ account to use any Google services (that need an account)

It's more like "a G+ account is associated with the google services account you use." You still log in to the service as you did before, but G+ just sitting up there in the corner, waiting.
Just because it isn't most-sensitive doesn't mean that breaching the data isn't a problem.

The more interesting part of this article is the part about "Design Capital".

> Calling the initiative “design capital,” MetaLab will help startups with development, design, strategy and development in exchange for equity.

I particularly like their list of rules in the sidebar of their Design Capital page: http://metalabdesign.com/design-capital
That's not what they're saying. They're saying that under MA law, a cab driver couldn't replace their meter with the "equivalent" GPS system, and so neither can Uber.
I'm torn too, but the meter thing is a very sensible point. Taxi meters in NYC (the only market I have experience with) are basically entirely locked boxes- the drivers can't do anything beyond poke the buttons on the front. This is, of course, very sensible- otherwise there's a danger of unscrupulous drivers modifying their meters to charge passengers more. This is only the case for yellow cabs in NYC, though- I'm surprised that Boston expands the principle to private car services.

A lot of government regulation is bad, but not all of it is. AirBnB and hotel regulation is another example of this.

Hi All,

I've been trying to learn programming since forever and this project is the outcome of months (may be years) of effort.

It connects with Twitter's streaming API to find people who are sharing their Amazon purchases and then pulls out product's name, picture and price from Amazon's product advertising API. See what the world is buying right now.

It's built on Kohana framework (PHP) and various great javascript libraries that folks have shared, and tonnes of tutorials that I found online. So, Thank You Internet! (Yayy!)

Would love to get feedback and how you might want to use it.

I have noticed that touchscreen implementations of controls and joysticks, while sometimes quite good, leave some things to be desired. (Meteor Blitz on the iPhone is a good example. It's very well done, but I find it's fatiguing for extended playing.)

Between this, the iCade, and the HDMI-out I wonder why someone isn't trying to develop TV/living room-oriented game hardware for iOS devices?

I think it is fair to say it is a general purpose tool, that was configured at least once, to take out Uranium refining tools.

Fantom - A programming language that cross-compiles to JVM, CLR, or Javascript
That is true. But it was much more relevant in an age when the rider was more or less at the mercy of the driver who picked them up. The internet on your phone (not to mention the GPS) means you can much more easily tell if you're being cheated. And the fact that you contact Uber and then they send a car means that the sketchy kidnapper risk is mitigated.
You want some sort of design document. Comments are not sufficient to describe the way that the concepts interconnect. They are almost always detail oriented, scattered and do not give the big picture.

Comments embedded in source code are singularly unsuited to giving the sort of interconnection of concepts that allows you to quickly and efficiently understand build a model of the system. They are a poor substitute for real documentation.

Something like this should always be present to describe the overarching structure of the system: ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/summit/2003/GENERIC%20and%20GIMPLE.pdf
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/RTL.html

Incidentally, I'm not sure if you're familiar with literate programming. That's where the code is almost an afterthought to the comments. This is an example of a literate program: http://tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Build/source/texk/web2c/tex.we.... You may be familiar with it -- it's tex, the core engine used by LaTeX. Compiled to PDF, the source looks like this: http://eigenstate.org/tmp/tex.pdf.
I use Gandi and domainmonster.com. No problems with either.
This argument mostly holds water, except for one gaping hole: sports. In the US at least, anyone who cares about watching sports at home will be the slave of a pay TV service for what looks like the foreseeable future. Even streaming the Olympics on the Internet required proof of a pay TV subscription.

Mark Cuban, who knows a couple of things about sports and broadcasting over the Internet, has written that he doesn't think streaming is a feasible option for most US households, for pretty clear technical reasons. He may not be right, but he makes cogent points.

Gigabit or no, until sports comes to streaming in a big way, most US households will have pay TV.

I can't speak for your program, but at no point in my computer engineering undergrad did anyone answer or even try to address that question. Curriculum is enslaved by "accreditation."
It seems they're referring specifically to measurement systems, as in a taxi service. The preceding sentence in the ruling is:

"The major problem at this time is the fact that there are no established measurement standards for its current application and use in determining transportation costs similar to that of approved measurement systems for taximeters and odometers."

So speaking just in terms of the JRE, is there any reason to download it from Oracle instead of Apple? A separate Oracle updating program is a much less elegant solution than the current Software Updates integration that Apple uses.

Liquidation Preferences with Examples
Here I am hoping for something like project jigsaw (or something else) to make it easy to modularize my applications and redistribute/install only the JRE pieces I need, and then I read "Starting with this release, JavaFX is now fully integrated into Oracle's Java SE implementation"

So much for a less bloated runtime. I confess I am not sure how big of a size impact JavaFX has (and I'm reasonably sure it has no runtime impact).
I don't use twitter much, but I've never seen ads on it. Where are people seeing ads?
I was having a hard time wrapping my head around liquidation preferences and how they work. I couldn't find a single page with examples of how they work, so I wrote up a reference for my own future use. I hope this helps some of you.

You seem pretty angry and are arguing from an interpretation of the OP's post that I personally don't think really matches either the tone or the content of that post.

You also seem to forget that in many countries that support a strong book market, there has never been any requirement to buy books for a long time before the internet got going, due to the network of public libraries. I have been using the interlibrary loans scheme in the UK since I was 10 to order pretty much any books I wanted to read. Yet I still buy a lot of books. Which I then often give away to people and buy again. Given that everyone in the UK who reads knows that they never need to pay for books beyond the cost of a library card, why do they buy so many books?
Main reason; the Apple JRE is still Java 6 (and will remain so for eternity).
What is interesting about reading this discussion is that all of the 'examples' used in order to show that comments are bad are totally implausible. On the other side, the situation of 'no comments at all' is actually ubiquitous, in reality.

Writing out what you are doing takes a little work, and requires at least briefly thinking about it. It also means you can be embarrassed if your code is doing something irrational or unintended, and looking at everything again when you make major breaking changes.

By Occam's Razor, it seems more likely that complaining about comments is driven by an unwillingness to produce them more than actual practical problems created for others by their presence.

I have used Uber a few times here in Chicago and after chatting with drivers, I am fairly certain the existing in-cab mater is still used to calculate fare, and is paid for by uber. They are not doing their own metering, the cabs charge the same fee, which is paid for by Uber with a 20% tip.

It was very encouraging to see how enthusiastically the drivers were embracing Uber.

It's not that surprising to regulate a private company like that. When you go to the grocery store or the gas station, the scale or pump has a green sticker on it saying that it was verified by the Department of Weights and Measures, along with a number to call if the device didn't start at zero.

That said, regulating a company is very different from issuing a cease-and-desist (which in fact does nothing but ensure that you cannot regulate them!)

It's fair because wealthy people cannot exist without a society constructed in such a way that allows them to acquire large amounts of wealth. In the natural state, you can only "own" as much as you can defend. It's society that allows one to accumulate wealth because the burden to protect it is distributed. Simply put, its fair because those government services you speak of disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
