OOP is defined by object identity (which you clearly have with entities) and state encapsulation. Methods aren't really required and many early OOP (actor-based) systems even lack them! Whether there is polymorphism, or if that polymorphism is expressed inwardly (via virtual methods) or externally (via match-based systems)...are all enhancements. Of course, its probably not that useful to go down this pedantic rabbit hole.

I'm trying to understand if your CES system is equivalent to dynamic mixins, or if there is something else at play here. I've seen this pattern many times before, and have even used variations of it in my language designs. Checkout papers linked in the following LtU posts:

http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4257

http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2149

Both systems are object oriented and neither system relies on methods.

Also, does this way of expressing a system help with your liveness goals in Lighttable? I've found that the ability to apply mixins dynamically does, in the sense that I can reuse objects after a code change by applying additional mixins or cleaning up mixins that are no longer relevant.
That's why I had the qualifier that it only applied to people in SF. Their view that SF is in the same category as LA and NYC shows how myopic and inward-looking many of the people in SF are.

I have used LaTeX for 200+ page documents (various) in the past, so to your question, yes I would.

Handing it over to someone else to maintain is a different thing though. Products like InDesign or PageMaker or Word understand that this is what eventually happens in reality. So, the not-so-steep learning curves that WYSIWYG tools offer have won out in the end.

If the manual is written by techies, and maintained in-house like all those old Bell Labs manuals that used troff, then markup based typesetting is not such a pain, imho.
I'm getting mixed signals from Github. Are they or are they not trying to be a one-stop-shop for project hosting?

As long as projects need to distribute software that is not code, there will be projects for whom a Github-only solution is inadequate. This opens the door to competitors who are willing to offer "Github, plus that one feature that you really need but that Github doesn't think that you do".

"[...] part of our ongoing effort to keep GitHub focused on building software [...]"

So I suppose that Github Pages and project wikis will soon be gone as well?

All I'm asking is for you to be honest, Github. Just come out and say that the feature was a pain in the ass to support and a looming legal liability.

What?
While I agree with your count-point, it's worth pointing out that Ghostery blocks Google Analytics, too. So they might actually not notice the traffic if they're only looking at Google Analytics (or other blocked analytics tools). [1]

But anyways, I agree with what you're saying. If we care about privacy, we have to be loud about it. I just thought it was worth pointing out that facet of Ghostery.

[1] Yes, you can still see the traffic in the web server logs, but I don't see evidence of many companies still doing that. Google Analytics and the like seem to have completely replaced server logs for traffic analysis.

That's exactly Telsa's (stated) plan.

Phase 1 was the Roadster. The Roadster was made in small numbers, using very "hands on" construction methods. It was very expensive, but it was designed to feel and perform like a very high end vehicle. For people who can drop $150k on a car (and there are more of those sorts of people than you might think), the Roadster was a very competitive option

Phase 2 is the Model S. The production line for the Model S is a lot more automated, and production runs are larger, resulting in a vehicle that is fairly competitive "mid range" luxury vehicles (e.g. the BMW 6 series).

Phase 3 will be a more "average consumer" targeted vehicle. Taking advantage of the lessons learned (and to some extent, the capital raised) in the first two phases.

Well, not directly - but it's the kind of stuff that would get fixed if they were actually using it. I haven't really researched this, but AFAIK very few Microsoft products actually use WPF (or SilverLight for that matter). That's not really surprising, because most of them have a long legacy, and a rewrite of e.g. Word or Explorer to use WPF doesn't make sense.

It's been my experience that when a developer actually uses the APIs they publish, they work well, are better documented (or at the very least, when you have an inquiry you can get a knowledgeable, reasonable answer from someone on the inside, as you still can from Raymond Chen about WIN32 stuff). The horrible level of support and bug fixing is an indirect observation of very little dogfooding.

This appears to build on similar work using modified T-cells against Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia from back in 2005 [1]

Fascinating stuff and it seems like all of the leukemias may fall to a strategy like this one.

One of the advantages of the use of this treatment in CLL was that patients were 'immunised' against recurrence of the cancer in the future. It seems that it is not yet known if this is the case for the treatment discussed here.

Nice to see that work is progressing by leaps and bounds in this area.

Lots of content on netflix isn't encoded in hd which means the average stream rate includes many streams that can't go above 1.xMbps. And their top stream rate for hd last time i checked was something like 6Mbps - clearly ruling out anyones average stream from netflix being 2MBps.
But why make it easier for the site to track you?

Force them to do detailed packet timing and their costs will go up, and it will become less economical for black hats to play around with your personal data.

I don't know if nuking the user agent string is a horrible idea, but it's less of a problem today than it was 5 years ago: today, a website can assume all browsers conform pretty closely to a standard. Only really advanced features require user agent sniffing (arguably, if you're sniffing the UA you're doing it wrong).

I think we should make that kind of fingerprinting opt-in, not opt-out.
True enough. Certainly a hassle for the people who used it.

Anecdotally, I was always surprised when I ran across it being used, as it was a relatively infrequent occurrence. It seemed to always work well though, when I did. I was even tempted to use it for a few projects. Guess I will have to seek other avenues. Be it s3, dropbox, cloudapp, droplr, or something else.

Dart also has more sane operators (e.g. ==), no implicit conversions, no prototypes, types are not mutable, scopes are not mutable (including globals), a real integer type, lack of "arguments", lack of "eval"/injected <script> tags, Strings don't need to support fast concatenation (there's StringBuffer), and probably a bunch more things I'm forgetting :)

Disclaimer #1: lack of mutable types/scopes might change in the future with mirror builders. Presumably mirror builders will be structured in such a way that they cause minimal effect on optimizations.

Disclaimer #2: I don't work on the VM so take this FWIW.

Congratulations, friend... you have managed to take away the one concern that actually confers a benefit, and replaced it with a bill payable directly to telecom.

You should be a patent attorney.. on the Internet!

I don't know about Lovefilm, but the rest of the solutions you proposed all require an ongoing commitment to pay every month, they don't provide any copy, and they are useless without an additional recurring payment to a third party that was not involved in producing content. You misunderstood my comments about the plastic discs. I hate them because they take up space, but I love them because they can be copied!

Why are there ads in Hulu Plus?

Again, a thousand channels I will never use, and I don't get a copy of the merchandise to keep for myself. What happens when I move out to the boonies and I can't get good internet? Oh yeah, I cancel all of my web-based subscriptions and I can never watch any of my favorite shows again. How about my favorite content providers? Sure, the partners will be paid, 70% of Hulu's revenue goes to... the advertising partners.

OK, I wasn't able to find any hard numbers on how much MrScruff gets for his contribution. But you know, I don't care, if I lose my access when I cancel my credit card and internet subscription. Tell me what ongoing benefit the ISPs provide! New content? No... they just provide peering, and hopefully reliable access, and then they also mail a bill every month. And guess what... it's more than Hulu is charging.

But you're right. They earned that money. The telecom lobbyists and the streaming advertisement providers made sure that I can't legally obtain a copy of anything new for myself, and now I'll have to go on needing them forever, no matter how much favorite content I've amassed into my collection. My archives will never be complete, at least not until I've received next month's internet bill.
I've had a hunch that Facebook is planning to buy Quora at some point, perhaps once a certain benchmark is reached; Quora received a very large investment at one point, giving them a very large valuation - similarly as Instagram received, and then Facebook bought them. I think this all in part is an effort to reenforce psychologically / show the perception that Facebook et al are worth the numbers being thrown out for them.

Except that github is offering websites which are great to present small projects - should it cut off these too? (I now believe: yes)
Yes, though there's a lot to understand to be able to efficiently save the world; Every little bit and effort helps, though.
somewhat curious... What was your book on?
Yes, but it takes more than removing most of the identifying information.

The trick is not to remove information, but to poison it.

For example, Panopticlick sees that I have dozens of "system fonts", enough to stand out. I want my browser to lie about the fonts I have, based on settings I choose.

There are many details about my browser and system that are irrelevant to what most sites need to do so lying about them should not interfere with viewing a site.
I'm a little in love with you for the phrase "hipster terms".

I am not ignoring your technical points--I think we may have to agree to disagree, here. You certainly have a valid opinion, and are entitled to it. We think a little differently, but variety is the spice, etc. etc.

I just saw your edit and couldn't contain my glee at finally earning the moniker "hipster", so I had to comment.
I built software like this not once, but several times. Server for verifone pos, RPC servers to allow any client to execute natural (it's a programming language) subprograms.

First rule: Do never bother writing your own socket server, there are so many reasons to not build your own server, but just consider that they already exist and are better than what you could build.

That said, it's all about the type of service: For verifone machines server I use a custom protocol which I regret I had to construct every single day. I had to build it because it was a long time ago and connections speeds were too slow for https.

SOAP is a reasonable option if you have text+binary data. Also if clients already use SOAP. I dislike XML deeply, but if you have have complex objects you can combine your web service with XSD schemas and make it great.

Now, the best option: just use dead simple HTTP transporting JSON, it may be REST or not. But anyways, this is the best option you have. It's reliable, tested and fast. I don't know python, but there must be something lighter than django around. Use that with nginx or apache as http server.

Java is pretty cool to build this kind of software. Check out Apache Mina, you can create a rock solid, production ready server in minutes if you decide to roll your own protocol.

It does indeed help with the liveness a great deal, though it takes a bit of a different form than what I described here for building a game. I'll probably write the second post in the next couple days that goes over what that looks like.

Based on my cursory understanding of how dynamic mixins would work, it seems like they are similar to components - both are just ways of composing state into an object. I think the one major distinction is that components are not meant to really bring logic with them while mixins in most mainstream languages provide more than just state. That difference is implementation specific though.

For what it's worth, the question I started with was how do you create a runtime modifiable system that also allows for potentially infinite customization? What I came up with is behavior oriented, though I think different than what you're describing in your paper.

EDIT: Thinking more about it, another difference is that everything I've shown is just data, there are no special language constructs at work and I would venture a guess that gives you more freedom than a mixin system does. The example components I give all expand out into nothing more than a map full of vectors containing maps.

What a nightmare.

I prefer very small teams whose members each have particular responsibilities so they're not stepping on each other, testing code before pushing out to the public.
Couldn't agree more. When you are a startup founder you are often times inventing a new way of doing something. Often there are no pre-written rules, you make them up as you go along and you find yourself doing things previously thought to be unthinkable. Most problems do have a work-around. I will not be surprised if in 2 weeks this founder solves this trivial problem by going to locally owned stores and working out a cash-flow arrangement (independently owned stores will be delighted by the lead-gen).

The highest rate for netflix streaming is ~600kb/s (5Mbps). Since many movies are not in HD, and compression efficiency varies according to image complexity, that's right on the bat. You're not going to use the other 995mbps for video streaming unless you send uncompressed 4k frames. Even monstruous 8k video (7680x4320) compresses to ~600mbps.
I don't deny that there's an innate attribute to physical property rights - the lion gets mad when you take his kill. It's undeniable this is what a lot of what the early state was designed to enforce - land rights in post-tribal societies to use Fukuyama's model.

However, corporations, bankruptcy, patents, etc. are all not state-of-nature constructs being reinforced formally. They are state innovations to encourage positive growth - do you deny this?

To your closing point, it sounds like you're saying that "business models don't have to be approved by the government based on this metric", however this would deny that the myriad taxes, laws, etc. make money itself the imprecise metric by which we judge this social value.

In an impossible situation, money would account for all positive and negative externalities, and getting rich would really mean that you truly helped society a great deal - unlike today where it could just mean that you played the system, etc.

So I was probably too vague in my original description. This is supposed to be a server-to-server application. Similar to how New Relic's integration monitors your server and reports home to their servers. So something like this:

+--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+
| | | | | |
| Database +----+ Client App +--------+ +-----+ Job Queue +---+
| | | | | | | | |
+--------------+ +--------------+ | | +--------------+ |
| | |
+--------------+ +--------------+ | | |
| | | | | +--------------+ +-------+------+
| | | | | | | | |
| Database +----+ Client App +--------+----+ Web App | |Worker Daemons|
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | +--------------+ +-------+------+
+--------------+ +--------------+ | |
| | |
| | |
+--------------+ +--------------+ | | +--------------+ |
| | | | | | | | |
| Database +----+ Client App +--------+ +-----+--Database +---+
| | | | | |
+--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+

The "adapter" will sit on "Client App" and interface with their database, reporting back to "Web App". I need something that is compact and relatively portable, so that it can be installed on client servers with minimal hassle. It will be provided limited access to various attributes of the client's database.
