You're right, the price of such a service would probably be much higher. If I took an audit of how much time I spend on this stuff monthly, I'm guessing paying $200-500 would not seem out of proportion. Anyway it's just speculation at this point until someone points me to/builds such a marketplace.
Awesome, I installed it today and everything is good so far... thanks!
Actually his answer was that he is familiar with several independent reconstructions and that they suffer from similarly problematic flaws, not that he is not "interested in the answer".

Your second paragraph is an ad hominem, where you make various assumptions about the OP. Yet there is still not a single coherent argument why the OP was actually wrong.
Hell, doesn't bitbucket support git now? Just use them if your project is uber-secret.

There are lots of good arguments for electric cars. Fossil fuel supply is not one of them. At a bare minimum, we have 64 years of oil left, but that assumes that we will never be able to find any more or wring more oil out of fields than expected. History shows that both assumptions are not good ones to make.

Emissions, cost & the environmental impact of tar sand mining are better arguments for electric cars.
Absolutely true. The odds of an untrained person safely landing on their first attempt are astronomical, but that doesn't mean you get to throw in the towel. If you are now the pilot, you better start acting like one in short order. First priority is getting the plane straight and level. Pick a distant object and head straight for it. You can't be afraid of the plane or doing something wrong. Of course if its on autopilot just leave it alone, but otherwise you have to take charge and straight and level is the first step. Then get on the radio and ask for help using plain English. But don't delude yourself thinking airplanes land themselves these days. It might make people feel better, but its not true. You are going to need help to have any chance.
At this point aren't they big enough to shift the onus onto the service providers to create hook endpoints that all accept the same payload? I don't see any reason why the service hooks section needs to be anything more than a list of URLs you want hit. You could still list all the providers and just automatically create proper URLs for each service. No need for the Ruby layer. IFTTT and Zapier and the like can fill in the rest for those that don't want to create the webhook interfaces.
Modern forum software is much-needed, so I'm glad to see this out there.

But does the design feel incredibly busy to anyone else? So many little icons and buttons, and I can't move my mouse without tooltips and popups everywhere.
It's great that they are offering this as a thing you can actually download and put on your own server or rent from a commodity hosting provider.

The great thing about traditional forums was that they made it possible to host discussions on controversial topics without fearing being culled by the platform owner. They also allow forum admins to be entirely free to set their own rules and create a marketplace in third party extensions.
(disclaimer: I'm an appium committer) While Frank and Appium provide a similar set of solutions to a similar problem, we're driven by slightly different philosophies. Two of Appium's core tenets are (1) you shouldn't have to modify your source code or add 3rd-party libraries to test, and (2) it's better to leverage existing successful "driver" protocols. To that end, we've designed things so that all of the interaction takes place between Appium and your un-modified app, whereas Frank requires compiling in its own libraries for testing. Likewise, we opted to make Appium a Selenium WebDriver-compatible server, so that the thousands of developers who are already familiar with using their favorite WebDriver library can jump in and start writing tests without having to wrap their heads around a new automation model. Frank is an extremely impressive piece of technology, but we felt the need for an approach born out of a different philosophy.

MOOC's have significantly different expectations for quality.

In an average university, there are decent professors successfully teaching students a topic that they know, and have a bunch of years experience in teaching that topic.

But in a MOOC that is not enough - since a single MOOC can scale to almost all the world needs for that subject, there is no need for a thousand professors teaching the same subject, only the best ones. Some things are unavoidably "lost in translation" due to lack of face-time, but a great prof in a MOOC will still be better than the perfectly ok professor at your closest average university.

To do MOOCs the way they should be done, you don't need to
"vet the instructor" in the way that teachers or professors are vetted. The quality threshold here is very simple - are you one of top 10 people in the world in your narrow subject area? If not, you don't need to apply.

The great MOOC courses I had were good only because the teachers were far more qualified than any professors teaching the same subject in 500 mile area from me, that is the value-add of MOOCs. The courses would not have been great if they were taught by simply a random good professor from a good university.
I've been beta testing Discourse for a few months now, and can tell you that this is going to have a huge impact on how we have discussions online.

Jeff Atwood has more insights into how humans communicate in an hour than I do in a year. Those insights are built right into the software, and I think that will help many communities take off that would otherwise collapse under the weight of trolls and apathy.

On a more selfish note, I'm excited to have an open source Ember.js app available from two of the best JavaScript developers in the world—Robin Ward and Sam Saffron. It's a great resource for the Ember community. If you haven't yet, make sure you head over to GitHub and check out what a modern Ember app looks like.
Not necessarily. StackOverflow was much needed by a well-defined userbase, and unique in its approach.

This is much more open-ended, and however nice it might be, there are other products attempting the same thing already.
I don't claim in the blogpost that technical and practical concerns are less important, on the contrary. I even write that in the article, but maybe it isn't clear enough.

My argument is, condensed, that in order to build a mass produced car you need a brand and a factory that will churn out cheap working cars. Since you can't realistically go from 0 to fully working mass production you need to take it in steps. So you start on a small scale with the roadster, step it up with the model S. and so on. Of course the first models were hand assembled, but that's the first step on the long road to mass production.

Also, I think you severely underestimate brand value. There's noway Joe average would choose a car he's never heard of instead of a brand he knows. If you look at the statistics it's amazing how many people stick to one brand in cars, without even considering the viable alternatives.
Unless it has changed recently, I think anyone can receive Snapchats until disabled. At least, that's how it was when I opened an account a few weeks back. That was discovered when I received an unsolicited snapchat from a name I didn't recognize (I have no friends on the service aside from the default teamsnapchat).

Rather than risk viewing something regrettable, I deleted the "message" and quickly found the setting to disallow unknown users from messaging me. :)
I love this idea. I can see myself using MoSQL pretty soon. Does it handle geospatial data? Can it replicate geospatial data from Mongo to a Geometry data type in Postgres?
I guess the alternative would be to claim that your results are incomplete rather than wrong. This does happen from time to time. Vinay Deolalikar claimed a proof that P is not equal to NP which received intense scrutiny online two years ago and multiple errors were found. He has never withdrawn the claim.

I love that kparikh, wittman1984, and pmichailidis show up every year or so to submit and comment on the Lightspeed announcement and then disappear. I understand what they're doing it and I guess it's fine. I just find it very funny.
Flash went out of style 15 years ago. They are forgetting a big piece of the equation, a fan noticing the playhead and equating it to purchasing a product in the newsfeed. The video playhead is microscopic on FB's mobile app, too. Stop building for today, and build for tomorrow.
I didn't say it was false, I said it was FUD. FUD isn't necessarily untrue, merely overblown and overhyped.

I'm certain that the apps that have "tracked my GPS history" have done so with my consent and knowledge.

I use Google Play for my music, so there's no doubt that my playlist and playcounts are on someone else's server somewhere. I also know that at least one Google engineer has seen my playlists because I had to ask for help with an issue with the service before surrounding tag edits.

"Looked at who I have in my address book" - sure. I use an Android device so all of my contacts are backed up on a Google server. I somehow doubt that anybody is rifling through that information.

My response to all of the above is "So what"?

There are APIs to pull that information, but they require my consent to do so (the permissions before apps are downloaded, and those can be restricted anyways with the aid of something like LBE Privacy Guard).

Malware and apps that surreptitiously access this data are rare.
Doesn't this cover shifting the onus onto service providers?

"As of today, all new services must accept an unmodified payload over HTTP. Any service that does not will be rejected."
I really wouldn't worry about pilot lingo in that situation. Just get on the radio and ask for help. People will respond to that.
Awesome! Great to hear it's working out for you guys, looking forward to MoSQL for Impala :-)

Please don't confuse problems with SQL ORMs with SQL itself. SQL stores are powerful, flexible, and quite easily queryable. MongoDB is only a good database for developers if it solves the problems that you need to solve in a way that causes no impedance mismatch.

And for the record, we use both a SQL store, Redis and MongoDB where the use case suits it where I work.
Personally, I want advertisers to have as much information about me as they can, as long as they use it so they can serve ads with the most relevancy possible. If I have to look at ads (a necessary evil in the current market in many contexts), I want the ads to be for something I'm interested in so the ads become closer and closer to 'content' rather than ads.
I've tried 3 T-Shirt Campaigns on Teespring and they've all failed for me (didn't reach minimum thresholds). Any insight into what makes for the more successful ones? Is it just about the community one has, or does Teespring have a ready base of those interested in shirts from other campaigns?
You seem to imply in your first paragraph that they have a real problem by relying entirely on something outside their control: the physics of storage batteries.

But then you end up your post saying that the room for improvement is -- huge [sic].

So which is it?

If it's that huge, why should they be worried? Especially seen that they're apparently going to be profitable with "only" 20 000 cars this year...
> Nobody's talking about the browser plugin.

If you're talking about Java, you're talking about the browser plugin. It all executes on the same VM.

You can't simply declare it off limits given the massive and repeated security issues surrounding it, combined with its ubiquity (especially for countries not ending in "America" - Clientside java is very popular in European banks.)
StackOverflow also has an extremely busy design, and it seems to work.

I remember reading a blog post, or maybe listening to a talk, where Jeff Atwood explained that this was on purpose because programmers like having lots of buttons and things (I'm paraphrasing really poorly here), but it seems to have carried over reasonably well to the other StackExchange sites.
...and vBulleting, InvisionBoard, etc. (Not free, but that's what all the 'cool kids' had not-so-way-back...)

I'm very interested in trying this out. Besides the nostalgic kick of having dedicated forums come back the potential for moving forums forward is pretty great.
I see. But I think it's not a preferable solution if one wants to support crippled browsers like IE <= 8. But it's an interesting proof of concept still. Some approach like Raphaël JS is probably better for such cases. Or one just needs to ignore any crippled browsers, which might not be ideal.
I hadn't downvoted you (yet), but you seem to be suggesting an equivalence between:

Everywhere used Flash, and look at where that's going. Ubiquity is not a valid response to "this sucks, we should start thinking of better ideas".

Having driven an electric car (not Tesla, Nissan Leaf) I can say that they are pretty awesome and this article is spot on with my thoughts about how you get people to switch to electric, make it normal and everywhere and people will begin to buy. I disagree with the article with regards to people not caring about the fact it's electric, they will because of the finite, hard stop, don't get it wrong range limitation. Although the claims of 300 miles for the Model S is far greater than the LEAF that I drove (18 months old, 80 miles with climate control on as it was -5 outside)
We made it as minimal as we could, but discussion is kind of a noisy activity by its nature.

That said, we want to have excellent skinning and theming support, and I'd love to see "even more minimal" themes. We ship a reasonable default theme for everyone to use, but it shouldn't be so good that nobody wants to replace it, right?

This is the design of their demo. They aren't selling a design, they're selling software. With a bit of HTML, CSS, and Javascript fiddling, you can mould it into any shape you want.

The theme shops will appear if the software becomes popular enough.
Yeah that's pretty much what I thought. They have some nice plans laid out, but as long as it gets more discussion and ideas coming out into the open I'll be happy. Any real solution to this will necessarily have to be long-term, it seems.
Well, i don't question that flexibility, i have high regards of Gnome and run it for years now. I am not developer of Gnome, so i actually couldn't care less, apart from concerns of how the development of gnome turns out in a few years. Will JS in Gnome take off? Will there be more or less new developers?

What i question is the quality of documentation and the amount of 3rd party libraries (partly based on what i have seen from vala and in comparison to the whole C/C++ ecosystem and the amount and quality of 3rd party libraries for python, which i surely know more of then of GJS and GObject). No doubt it will be a massive amount of work to sort of replicate the efforts already put into the existing projects. Does the Gnome development have those resources? It will have to rely on other developers to join and work on that, for sure. It's sort of a chicken/egg problem. Why would i choose to write my Gnome app in Javascript when i have many well tested and well documented alternatives?

In the end, most interesting would be the point of view and experience of a vala contributor or even a Mono developer.

I don't doubt that glib, gobject and everything starting with G is nice ;)

But, again, how does it compare to the superset that is the C eco system or to a "direct competitor" that is python/ruby/perl/mono/whatever, _especially_ when it comes to desktop apps. Just take a look at how much is written for the Linux desktop in perl/python/mono/ruby and how good it actually works.

What is wrong with C/C++/python/ruby/mono/perl that it REALLY REALLY REALLY is beneficial to go down another road?

P.S.: Yes, i get that it is still (and will always be) possible to write apps in those languages. It's most important what the primary and recommended way is, though.

This is hilarious! I have two points to make:

1. M$ has been trying to sabotage GNU/Linux for at least the past 20 years. "Secureboot" on Windows 8 OEM UEFI is just the most recent attempt.

2. Why should I pay over $120/year ($10/month) for a subscription to an application suite that has all of its GOOD features replicated in LibreOffice, with a shitty UI and all that DRM on top of it?!

P.S. If you try to tell me that Ubuntu, Red Hat, etc. have been working on "Secureboot" fixes, that's irrelevant. The fact that they had to come up with fixes in the first place is horrendous. And now when I buy new socket LGA 1155, 1156 or Xeon mobos, I have to ask if "Secureboot" is on it if it has UEFI BIOS.

Yes, I'm a Russian, and Pushkin is indeed my "Byron connection". Funny how predictable things like that could be.

I think your last sentence is selection bias at play - a non-Russian is more likely to meet an educated Russian, rather than the average one. This bias likely accounts for 99% of the appearance. For the remaining 1% you may actually have a valid point - literary education in the 20th century Russia was a bigger part of the education system, even on the technical tracks, when compared to the US.
