That's an acceptable approximation for now at least, although Go doesn't know which threads will hold up the runtime.

I'm not sure what's left to clarify on your part. I think you misunderstand what working with Coro is like. In practice the Perl code that holds up execution is the same code that holds up execution in Go, things like:

while(1) { $i++ }

have the same problem in both languages. Throw a `cede` (or `sync`) on it and the problem goes away. Might want to unroll it a bit first.

I'm not sure what there is to agree on. I could perhaps eventually convince you that working in Coro is very much like working in Go, or you could do that on your own time if you really want. But you seem to have an issue with a concurrency implementation that isn't widely popular, and that sounds like a matter of taste to me. To my ears it sounds like an incredibly stupid thing to get hung up on—CSP is so easy—but if that's your bag I'll only ask you not to use it to convince me of anything.
Whoah. So much for the "acquihire" snark.

Having flown my daughter solo (not via United though), I can state with certainty that generally, 'unaccompanied minor' policies are pretty strict.

They require that the parent that purchased the ticket for the child drop be the same person that drops the child off, presents ID, and fills out a ton of paperwork at the time.

Similarly, you must designate a person to receive the child at the other end, and that designated person is the only one allowed to receive the child (even if they have an emergency or something), and they must also present ID.

I had a hard time because I used a nickname for my designee (whom I've only ever known as 'Lynn Cooper', when her legal name was 'Jerry Lynn Cooper', and her driver's license showed 'Jerry Lynn Cooper'. They refused to release her initially and it took three calls to untangle and I, the father, but not the person who dropped her off at the airport initially, was not allowed to verify that 'Jerry Lynn Cooper' was the same 'Lynn Cooper' designated, despite being on a conference call with all parties.

So yeah, if we have to go through all that, they should probably be held responsible for making a phone call on a reroute.
>People don't need gmail. They need email. You know, that thing that existed for years before gmail. To say people don't distrust google/gmail shows your naïveté and/or your rose coloured google glasses.

Aren't you a charmer.

I'm about as far from a Google fanboy as exists. Trust in this conversation has been about existing tomorrow or not. No one doubts Gmail is going to exist tomorrow.

And while you're right about the very obvious assertion that email existed before Gmail, that misses the point. There's a switching cost involved in changing your email. You have to inform all your contacts, update all of your accounts, learn a new web interface.

It's a damn good moat.
I think the real reason user numbers haven't grown as rapidly as expected could be the difficulty introducing it to a new user.

I've tried to explain how powerful it is, how it centrally gathers so many diverse publications, how it gives a new perspective on global events or political sensitive topics.

But it's a blank screen, the welcome wizard is helpful (I started with Apple and Google collections and quickly added Planet Gnome and Mozilla), but it's not the same.

Google+ is a product that tries to do everything, but makes the simplest things difficult. After Buzz, Google made discovery impossible, so G+ users accumulate very slowly. I'd like to "subscribe" to a circle, say Linux kernel or Node.js developers, but instead I have to get linked to someones G+ from somewhere like here and then follow just that user. I should be able to subscribe to that entire circle with one click, and have it appear as a subgroup on the left sidebar, and the, Presto, we have 50% of Google Reader.

I would suggest Reader be replaced (if it must) with G+ Curator, a reader for feeds including RSS and Atom, but also G+ Circles, third party feeds like Twitter or Tumbler (if possible), mayabe Google Groups or even a gmail filter.

I would use the Reader API for this, it's basically an atom feed aggregator, and could convert all those other inputs into Atom feeds the same as it does Atom and RSS today. I would translate the current feed IDs into G+ ids.

The problem with Google dropping RSS is it basically kills the prospect of sites bothering with RSS, they look to Tumblr and the like and think there's something there, but they find they can't easily browse other feeds, and it becomes like Facebook (now), a mess of pithy sayings and 'viral' photographs that people probably don't bother to read.
Then, at some point Tumblr (or some other site) shuts down and the community goes with it, the orgranization is lost and the users find something else to waste their time on.

But really, unless Google looks at fixing problems with G+ and makes it something that people want to use, we'll be not talking about it's shutdown a year or two from now
Google did that to websites too: first they penalized a slew of sites such as local search, travel, finance, shopping comparison for having "shallow content," and then they introduced the Google versions of said sites, on top of everyone else on search results.

What's it based on? It's just invites.
This explains why Canadians, including MPs, sometimes come to the US for care, and why the Queen of England went to a private hospital when she developed gastroenteritis, right? It's silly to imagine that there isn't or shouldn't be a relationship between level of care and cost of care, even if we desire for the costs of most common life-saving care to be "socialized" in some way. Demanding that all care be the best possible care is a non-starter because that's clearly not financially feasible. Some folks can afford to spend multiples of the average per capita GDP on their health care, and that's just not physically possible for everyone to do.

As for your straw man about a "fully private system", I made no mention of that, nor have I advocated such. I was merely making an isolated point. You can put your pitchforks back in the shed and put down your "libertarianism = somalia!" signs.

Our system is clearly broken, but the idea that other systems aren't also broken in various ways is naive. There's no silver bullet that will solve the problems of cost and access to health care, and that includes the extraordinarily naive idea of just making "government" pay for it all.

Yeah, lies, damn lies and statistics ;-) I rarely ever saw a formspring Q&A that was bustling with activity while it was quite the opposite for Instagram. Not sure I like that, though, but I guess that's human nature.

They claim 4 billion posts - would be interesting to see the Q to A ratio.
Yeah, I run other mail servers as well, and none of them have problems delivering to gmail. It's just this one place which has a problem, and there is no way to make Google care about it. I fear it will only get worse as the gmail monoculture spreads.
Gun Policy, Gun Culture & Guns across the U.S.: What Makes Us Safer?
Agreed. No note of PDO or even mysqli anywhere, which is pretty unfortunate since novice programmers starting with PDO would be building safer apps.

Slightly off topic, but my rule of thumb: If your project is too big for Sqlite, it's big enough for Postgres. If it's too small for Postgres, it's small enough for Sqlite.

MySQL doesn't absolutely need to fit anywhere in the picture, but of course, this is precluding any host complications for existing projects.
That's not a mystery (to me). I've worked at a company that made iOS apps, and it seemed to be common knowledge among all the other people we knew at other app/game companies that Android users do not pay for apps. It supposedly has something to do with the fact that your average Android user has much lower income, and that in many countries where Android is dominant, people just are not willing to pay for apps.
In my opinion, it's even more true than it was 18 years ago.

The "equalizing" tools help the average programmer when everything works well, but they make it significantly more difficult for them when problems arise. Today's tools have given us many leaky abstractions.

Look, I'm all for renewable energy, but where do the solar panels come from? You need to make them. This takes resources. These resources are difficult to acquire and manufacture into panels.

I haven't tried the app (no iPhone). Can someone explain to me why the Mailbox app is so great? From the intro video, I see a typical email app with a couple of extra gestures thrown in.

I'm just saying you can't reduce emissions to zero unless you have a zero footprint solution to providing energy. There will always be some collateral damage, no matter how minor, until we're able to make solar panels out of entirely recycled materials using entirely renewable energy.
I'm talking general run way, not Dropbox.
If you can cut your costs efficiently, you should, regardless of who you are.

I am not saying you should rely on native standards without innovating, I am saying a developer is a better person to make those decisions where you wanna tweak design that might be hellish in code than a designer.

I like developers who can design. Period. Especially iOS where the damn controllers are called -VIEW-Controllers.
If you're a startup, get a iOS developer who can design. It's cheaper, it's smarter. It's better.
Less person to maintain, less communication errors and those thing happen because we're human.

It's one of the platforms where the developer SHOULD be able to design and rightfully do so.

I've never come to respect designers for iOS (I can't speak for Android, but I wonder if it's the same). One trick ponies.
If you can't code your views, then get a different job. I am sure there are developers who can design and then code it.

Don't get those oil snakes men that trick you into thinking their bullshit user interface design education is worth anything.

The only objective UX is speed, and that comes from the developer.
Most of the time UX (and design) is subjective. Sure you have bad ones, and good ones, but in the end it's mostly a matter of taste. Get a developer who has taste.

Most developers are also "app users", so they should be aware of what works and what doesn't and can work in their own "smart" features. Drag to refresh, swipe for menu and etc. Design comes with that.

Having worked for so many UX dickheads, who were just managers who couldn't code... or even better "idea-cunts" I've come to hate them more than MBA's.
At least an MBA knows stuff I might not be aware of.

It's not just about run way. I rather have 2-3 developers who can design than mixing in some non-dev who just wastes everyones time.

So you have a design suggestion (read IDEA)? Woopdi-fucking do so do my 3 developers as well. Except they can code it.

That's what UX people are.. idea guys... managers...useless.

There was a bit of snark in this comment with the "..." which I apologise for, but I think my point was fair. Trying to paint Node as an anti-framework ecosystem is disingenuous and this is clearly not a goal of either Node, npm or Express.

I love Node, and am consistently impressed by npm, but pretending that these technologies represent a "paradigm shift" and some sort of cohesive shift away from frameworks is faintly ridiculous.

If you work on a team and are faced with the task of creating a large app your choice is to pick a framework or create your own from libraries. I'd argue that a (good) framework is likely to be better because the conventions are likely clearer and better documented than anything you cook up yourself by combining libraries and filling in gaps with your own code.

Like self driving cars and Google Glass? Or the cheap/free fiber optic Internet access? Or free Wi-Fi in NYC?

Self driving cars, like this http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-57367893-71/a-self-driving... or http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/04/autos/toyota-self-driving-ca... or http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2416535,00.asp ?

Tell me what's so amazing, never done before, about Glass? Google is seeing ads there.

Fiber and WIFI, while extremely limited in geography* and are great, until Google pulls the plug. That's the point.

*There's no "Free wifi in NYC from Google", just in a tiny neighborhood.
Im not sure what mesos brings to the table (possibly distributed dependency management), but for a powerful replacement for cron with dependency management, logging, etc. one could use systemd timers [1]

It's solving a rather different problem than cron, but it's a problem that many people first attempt to use cron to solve. It's a replacement not in the sense of being a better cron, but as solving a problem for which cron is often used inappropriately.
Isn't that already the case in practice? Tons of devs just know git commit/push/pull and can't do much more without research.

Well one strength you have already would be in user testing as your mind is infetted by the `how would a computer do this best` approach towards interfacing with users.

You could start by looking and reviewing and spotting bugs in many programs out there, will help build a resume and also at the same time perk your interest into what tech scene angle you wish to start heading down. Be it codeing, design, testing, support, managing, selling, testing, providing. That is without even looking at the market area's within those feilds which could be anything from games, web, plant, automation, planes trains and automobiles, or washing machine spin cycle control systems. Many area's within area's. Tech is such a large feild and this is just the basic computing stuff. Designing new solar panels, specialist clothing, you see what I mean, such an open subject.

Two things I would advise keeping in mind. What are you good at and what do you like. It is a fine balance and to do the things you like you might not earn as much and work all hours bluring the lines between hobby and work. You could focus on what you are good at and treat it as work, have more time and money to focus on those hobbies and pet projects and get better quality time doing them how you enjoy them. It is extremly rare to fully combine the two, even then it will not be all the time. You can spend a long time chasing that end-goal and end up becoming disenjanted with what you enjoy. So a fine balance is advisable and by all means learn your own balance. Being mindful of that will help you be more objective and happier in the long run. Dreams can become nightmares, don't spoil the dream. So tread slowly, but firmly and you will know what you are good at and what your are not, so even if you descide to go another direction all together. You would of learned good foundations for any path forward.

So my suggestion in short - levridge your skill you have now and that is you are the perfect user, so testing/QA would be a great start and one you can define. You will then know which area of tech you wish to focus upon, though will gain the eye for detail early on which is handy in all walks of life.

The reason why F# and other .Net languages are not popular in open source is because they are dominated by being part of the .Net ecosystem, not because of "give me a job" mentality...

The Microsoft "tax", in every sense of the word, is anethema to at least grass roots popular expansion into open source, if not to its principles.

Successful or well-known .Net programs are invariably closed source (#). In addition, of the large .Net open source projects I have seen, almost all are entirely developer related.

You missed the article's point, which was that the vocal users were power users, and influencers.

Several tens of thousands of highly influential people are now less likely to speak well of google, less likely to install chrome on a friend's computer, less likely to urge a parent to switch to gmail, etc.

I don't know how big the effect will be; less likely is a relative term. (this confuses people to no end) But the effect will be stronger than numbers alone indicate.
