I see. For streaming computations we typically have a Graph behind a thread pool, so a node can always resubmit a datum for another go-round -- there's no concept of sending an updated datum 'back' to another node within a particular execution though.

As long as your customer problems are not about low fees or ACH, that is.
That's correct, we don't stop people entering invalid dates -- we just validate them after they do so.

I think the parent has a point. The thing that would stop 90% of business users from being able to use Linux is Microsoft Office.

In the past several years, I've come to believe that Office is a much more potent monopoly than Windows itself. Of course, I also think Office is a blight on the software world and the sooner it dies, the better for everyone, but that's another topic.

The fact is, Microsoft can only maintain the status quo (and this has been true for the better part of two decades) by milking their monopoly so it makes great business sense to get Office on as many platforms as possible.

I imagine this wouldn't be happening if Android weren't around, but this move would allow a lot of people to migrate to Linux and remain with Microsoft Office, and I suspect that's exactly what will happen for a lot of folks.

Let's face it. No one wants Windows 8, and a lot of people would choose an alternative but the elephant in the room has always been Office. I'm all for supporting competitors to Office, but they will continue to fight an uphill battle against an entrenched and corrupt foe who does everything in its power to undermine competition, DoJ notwithstanding.

Given that people are not so much abandoning Windows for other choices on the desktop, but many are abandoning the desktop itself - Windows is essentially non-existent in the mobile market and its success in the tablet realm remains to be seen - this is another reason Microsoft should make this move.
I could see that working, with the right community and moderators, especially if the choice were presented not in terms of simply flat-vs-nested, but "what is the goal of this discussion?" Those for informing and airing possibilities might have certain titling, features, and moderation (including nesting)... while those for hammering out some common experience/decision would have other titling, features, and moderation (including flatness).

(Remembering, as always, that it's not exclusively a goal for software design to solve, but also and probably primarily up to the participating people and their behavior... who can and do bend any offerings from the designers/coders to their own ends.)
As much as I dislike the whiny tone of your comment, you have a point: Meteor has problems integrating with some libraries. If a smart-package doesn't exist for it, the odds of it working are slim. (Try getting jquery ui to work...)

Part of this is because the Meteor use of reactive programming is very different.

Regarding the whining: projects like this take time and effort to create. Wanting something "a year ago" ignores the reality that this is what we have now, and for all it's warts, it's good!
OATV’s Renee DiResta Reflects On Her Transition From Trading To Investing
Agreed, navigating to my neighborhood in DC was awkward; I had to pick "Washington" from the cities within "DC" and then had to guess which half of the alphabet I thought my neighborhood would be in (and I was wrong). Nobody familiar with DC would set it up this way.

And it really needs a "Browse as Guest" button. I don't want to set up an account for a ghost town especially with such a crazy signup process (you want my credit card?!)
Spot the fallacy:

X doesn't exist for Y, therefore Y is immune to X.
Personally, I'd say always wireframe / sketch before coding.

The reason behind this is the interface is what the users see and use. Your app's design (from a UI / UX perspective) will almost certainly come out better if you spend some time upfront on design.

As a bonus, you'll likely write less code since you'll know exactly what you're building. Without at least a (revised) sketch in place, you may end up unnecessarily generalizing methods / classes, or adding stuff that you end up not needing later.

Anyway, that's just my opinion. I at least do some sketches, with revisions, before starting an app.
There is a next door group in my neighborhood. It's by no means local news. It's a mix of complaining about parking and things like that, links to actual local news (local paper/online journal), asking for recommendations for babysitters and plumbers, and trying to hock/get stuff; much more neighborly things and much less "hyperlocal news"
Hilarious. This is what happens when you have compulsory military service as a nation which (although constantly under threat) rarely if ever actually sees combat. I can't decide whether it's a better or worse waste of time then the Air Force's professional StarCraft team, but either way, bravo.

The idea behind NextDoor is that you are invited via snail-mail so you have verified neighbors. You need a "seed" person in a neighborhood to sign up and then sign up some neighbors. It's real power is in community neighborhoods (gated communities, condo/townhome complexes). I found it to be a great tool to find out what's going on with the neighbors and a far more trustable marketplace than Craigslist for buying/selling items. However, if your living area isn't as "community-oriented", getting any sort of traction can be difficult.
As it's entirely crowdsourced, if it's not in an area, it's because nobody's signed up to be a "seed" and invited neighbors, as opposed to NextDoor themselves not providing infrastructure/data.
There are quite a few jQuery web tour applications out there, but I found that when working in a corporate environment many of them didn't work ... or just didn't work right in IE7/8. I put together this web tour jQuery application and have successfully used it and had no issues with older browsers, because of that it doesn't look as 'pretty' out of the box since it relies on CSS3 to pretty it up a bit for the newer browsers, but it works.

It's pretty light weight and was my first foray into Javascript prototypes, and while I'm sure there are bugs, although I haven't encountered any game breaking ones myself. The GitHub is up at https://github.com/drazion/Crimson-Tour - if you notice any irregularities or issues, any and all tips or suggestions to improve it would be appreciated.
Jemima Khan on Julian Assange: how Wikileaks founder alienated his allies
> Now go count how many books, newspapers, magazines, etc, etc have their primary text in something other than one of the few common "standard" fonts.

That would be most of them. The LA Times uses Ionic, the New York Times uses Imperial, the Chicago Tribune uses Mercury Text, Entertainment Weekly uses Scout — I'd actually be really hard-pressed to think of a newspaper or magazine that sets its body text in Arial or Verdana.

> It is until it loads all the way, which can take quite a long time, especially on a mobile network. And yes, it is actually fairly common for some elements to timeout and not load, images, css, javascript. If you use a non-standard font for the main text, then it becomes one of those things that can fail to load.

This is kind of a browser-dependent thing. I would argue that any browsers that display this behavior are flawed and should be fixed. However, even on browsers that don't handle this gracefully, you can work around it and handle it gracefully yourself. So I agree that if this happens, you have done something wrong, but using a distinct font was not the mistake — coding your site in such a way that your body text might never display was the core problem.
> They care about ideology, power, and winning.

I'm coming to believe this point is key to understanding our governmental reality.

It seems like those with sociopathic characteristics (not always true sociopaths) are the ones in power positions, and their underhanded tactics tend to dominate those who care more about good policy.

I am really enjoying Netflix's House Of Cards as its an exploration of this phenomenon.
Classic Scarcity Principle. What I find interesting when I see one of those rich guys driving a 20 year old car I think to myself, "Wow, that guy is awesome. He is rich but he just doesn't care about money." After this post I realize, he is probably just like most of us, but once he had the money, he no longer desired most of the things out there we just have no need for.
Hey,
I'll forward that internally (it seems we are going to introduce a solution like yours/yammers in the near future, based on the "I want this!!" face I saw today).

But yeah, more technical information would be nice. I would _guess_ (wildly, with little information..) that your standard target customer is the management type - at least that's what the website shows me right now (and 'six times faster than some unknown enterprise solutions' is really .. weird).

If you go for more technical details or really just more "Look, this is why we're doing cool stuff" posts: I'd be interested to learn more.
> One of the core tenants at Yipit is that everyone should think and act like an entrepreneur.

Does everyone get to learn how to do sales, marketing, customer interaction, forcasting, and corporate financing too? Seems like they are equating "being able to code" with "being a successful entrepreneur" when it's not that at all. (See The E-Myth Revisited)
That doesn't seem very accurate. Plenty of "how do I shot database?" people are very anti-mongo too. Some of that may well be because they feel mongo gets more mindshare than their preferred nondb, but don't blame postgresql users for that.
No, not at all.

Simply put, you are moving from 2 independent operations to 2 mutually exclusive operations – meaning that 1 sink (in the Dyson case) can only service 1 user at a time vs 1 sink+1 dryer/towel dispenser which can, at a minimum, service 2 users at once (there's actually a much bigger set of time/path calculations that could go in to this, but the simple case is enough to make it clear that your thinking is confused on this.)

I think you should consider the possibility that the FAQ is joking.

Also, if you're suggesting "gle" as a debugger name, you're missing the joke. "ogle" is a verb meaning, approximately, "to look at", so it's a good name for a debugger. "gle" is not.

(Except that "ogle" is not actually a good name for a corporate-sponsored debugger, because "ogle" has sexual connotations. Which is why you should assume that this is a joke.)
With Windows 8, it seems Microsoft itself is ready to bury the desktop. It's a tremendous mistake, but MS has a long history of completely failing to recognize trends.

The mobile market is enormous and MS missed it (so far), but the desktop/laptop market isn't going away any time soon and they seem to be missing that, too.

Windows is a good desktop environment for the most part. But by trying to make Windows a monolith on all platforms, they seem to be rushing towards making it suboptimal for all platforms and ceding a market they are the undisputed owner of. Or maybe the mass of computer users will just accept Windows 8 as the new normal and put up with it no matter how much they hate it. After all, they've been doing that with Office for 20 years.
I was hesitant with NextDoor but I've found they do in fact provide very real value. At least for living in a city like San Francisco where you're not likely to actually know many of your neighbors.

My only concern is that it's starting to turn into a FUD (fear, uncertainty, and death) distribution machine. Pando Daily gave them a great review for keeping neighbors informed about crime[1]. However, now crime, muggings, etc are most of what I see on the site. Has my neighborhood suddenly become significantly less safe? Why don't I actually see this increase anywhere around me? Am I just that unaware or is this just a lot of noise? I don't actually have an answer, but it raises the question: is this actually good for me to consume or is this just the go to place to be afraid of your neighborhood?

That said, I've gotten great advice on where to find live dungeness crab in the city through the site.

Indentation is handled by the lexer, not the parser.

The parser is context free-- LL(1), actually.

The lexer maintains one extra stack to track indentations, meaning it's more of a PDA than a DFA, but the actual complication is mild.

The distinction between felony and misdemeanor is key, and therein rests Lessig's argument about proportionality. I don't doubt that Aaron would have been willing to do time if it meant making a point. But he didn't want to set a precedent in this circuit court that this kind of activity was a felony violation of the CFAA--it would have made it harder, not easier, for those who came after him.

Also, while I agree with you that civil disobedience means going to jail, most moral crusaders whom society has fit to punish that way have not been charged with felonies (Martin Luther King Jr was never charged as a felon), and past innovators with similarly murky histories (Steve Jobs and blue boxes, for example) suffered no punishment. Aaron's political actions made him a target for the worst the government could do.

Yes, I believe the jeopardy he was facing was in effect a denial of the right to a fair and speedy trial.

In comparison, Rosa Parks only spent 1 night in jail, and was released on bail. Her trial lasted 30 minutes and she was fined $14.

Yes I am comparing anecdotes, but its important to note the length of prison sentences has been greatly increased since the 60's. The active discouragement of jury nullification makes civil disobedience more dangerous as well.

In my opinion judges and prosecutors are being given too much power for a democratic society to abide.

I actually know a few "big companies" that will enforce safety (sometimes to the extreme - stand on chair = fired) because the consequences of a failure would destroy the bottom line.

>And lets face it, we (startups) would be totally f'd if users didn't become entirely dependent on our services early doors, perhaps even pre-biz model.

I (and many other people) try to educate users not to do this. It's an uphill battle, most people are not interested until the day they lose a bunch of their data when some startup webapp they uses has burned through all their cash and closes down. This is becoming increasingly common though, so I think people are starting to realise that they can't trust cloud services/web apps. I'd like to think raising awareness will help end the trend towards centralised computing that denies users control of their data, but most people still don't even back up their local files, so…

These kinds of shutdowns are useful examples for the next time I'm having this discussion with somebody. Although I'd rather a bunch of people didn't have to lose data I feel nothing will change until this happens a quite a few more times with bigger sites.

Which is to say, I'm afraid I hope you are "totally f'd" because web startups are a malign force when it comes to data security. It's nothing personal…
The State of Necro-Pakistan
I am from the midwestern US, and my friends and family all called them "Legos". We would say things like "play with Legos"; the alternative "play with Lego" sounds stilted to my ears. I guess the reasoning is that one block is "a Lego", so multiple blocks must be "Legos".
I'm pretty anxious to try the app out, luckily I have a low number in the queue, but the first thing that happened when I opened the application was that it asked me to share it with friends... How can they expect me to endorse something that I am still waiting in line for?

Blackberry to stop selling phones in Japan due to cost
>That would be most of them

Really? Of the millions of books, most of them use a special font? The hundreds of thousands of little local papers all have their own special font? Do a tiny minority who use a "virtually indistinguishable from Times" really constitute most of them? Is a font that <0.000001% of people can distinguish from Times really creating a unique and distinct design?

>I'd actually be really hard-pressed to think of a newspaper or magazine that sets its body text in Arial or Verdana.

I'd be hard pressed to think of one that uses comic sans too, that reflects on comic sans, not the necessity of unique fonts.
I'm really not trying to be a dick here.

I have noticed that a few of my friends accounts have been hacked this week.
An old account of mine was also hacked, it's very unlikely to the the XSS exploit as I hadn't logged in to it for 12-24 months.
I am not sure if I buy the "it's nobody's fault" explanation. From what I gather, what they built simply did not work, even though it was clearly feasible. They had a failure of engineering and could not afford to rebuild the entire app. I know nothing about the specifics of the architecture, but I do know first-hand that if using Rails as the basis of an efficient and high-capacity SaaS backend, it is the wrong decision.
Just because this code is released under GPLv3 it doesn't mean that the main codebase is GPLv3. They have complete ownership of their own code & can do as they will with it. The GPL only controls the rights of other people that want to use it.

The parent might be arrogant, but he also happens to be right. A lot of managers are simply incompetent and not that smart.

In my experience, it's usually _not_ the line managers but the people above them. I've left several jobs, but almost always wasn't because of my immediate manager.
If the author kickstarted or otherwise crowd funded the legal defense for this, I'll give $100. Trademarking "Space Marine" is pretty much like trademarking "Amphibious Car." It's not exactly a mainstream term, but still everyone immediately knows what it means without explanation, and it's been in common use within its niche for almost a century.
