My first reaction on seeing the goat ad was negative. Why they chose to advertise this as an antisocial product which helps you disengage from ACTUAL social activity escaped me.

I once wrote a blog boat decrying the attitude of many of my European friends and family (who I see and keep up with on Facebook of course) for their attitude summed up on the phrase "I don't live to work, I work to live" ...while this sounds superficially appealing most folks saying it use it as a justification for letting life pass them by, taking Jo responsibility for themselves, making no effort in their job and then blowing their paycheck on booze at the weekend.

Facebook Home as portrayed in these ads appears to be for the folks zombieing their way through life in this way. The artifice if social networking replacing the actual social. It saddens me. Sharing "experiences" is nowhere near as good as actually having experiences, being present fully in the moment, in the company of others similarly engaged.
Indeed. Is using Facebook on a smart phone to slyly tune out people around you, coworkers, and family really advancing the mission of "making the world more open and connected"?
"You cherry-picked one line from the post and used sarcasm to attack it".

That's spot on!

People don't react to terrorism because they're afraid of being blown up personally. They do it because they're afraid of the precedent that might be set by not responding.

It's statistically unlikely that you'll be the victim of gang violence, but does that mean it's irrational prosecute and punish gang members? No, because the activity threatens social stability vastly out of proportion with the probability of any given person being victim to it. In general, we punish crimes not because it's likely that we'll be the victims of one, but because if we don't the problem might grow out of hand and undermine civil order.
The blob that you compile against the pepper api is native code. So they would need to recompile the blob for ARM as well as x86.

The point I'm trying to make is the differences between terrorists and invading Germans are all of them. You might as well compare terrorists to the Irish potato famine.

My point isn't that islamic terrorists are like Germans. It's that Schneier's comment smacks of an inability to contemplate that anything bad could happen to the U.S., much like I imagine the attitude was in Rome before Germans proved them wrong.
What exactly are you envisioning here? If not a sacking of the country by terrorist hoards, what exactly are you proposing the parallels between the fall of Rome and our modern society will be?

I can envision terrorist attacks doing major irreversible damage to our society, but only through the fear, spiraling out of control, that they have the potential to cause. A fear so excessive that it could figuratively drive our society off the cliffs of Saipan.

Presumably (since you appear to be advocating fear, and since it would be plainly idiotic to suggest a sacking is immenent) you are suggesting a different mechanism.

So what is this mechanism?
If anyone's experiencing Rome's fate as a result of Islamic extremist activity it's the countries in the middle east we've chosen as a battlefield against terrorism. In fact it's worse than Rome because on one side you've got the American troops and drones, while on the other side you've got suicide bombers. Basically death and destruction at every turn.

If anyone's going to end up sacking and pillaging America it'll be American corporate greed and not extremists. Now there's some barbarian hordes you should be watching out for.

> And every time a trade happens you run the risk of getting clipped by the faster guys who see you coming.

I think it is natural, but fallacious, to apply line-of-sight properties to trading. If you plan to trade, then there are two ways that another participant can "see you coming":
1. If you don't have direct market access, your order gets routed through a broker. The broker sees your order before it hits the market, and if he jumps in line ahead of you then that is front-running, and a Bad Thing. Your broker can get in a lot of trouble for this sort of thing.
2. If you are trying to move a large position by sending multiple orders to the market (one after another), then all market participants have the chance to react to the first order. It's really a game to try to move a lot of inventory at once, without tipping your hand to anyone else in the room. Thems the breaks.
Nobody else gets to see anyone's order before the matching engine has already processed it, so there's no way to jump "ahead" of it.

OTOH, maybe your long-term investor is trying to time the market: wait for a signal intraday, and pick that moment to send an order. In that case, if it is a good intraday signal then it is likely that someone else will compete. It is unlikely for a long-term trader to have spent as much on infrastructure as a HF trader, so the juicy signals will result in missed executions that _look_ like front-running.
It only solves the problem if women submit papers at close to the same rate (or even a proportional rate) as men, which is not the case. That is, of course, ignoring the yardstick—who gets to decide what has merit?

The so-called meritocracy you think exists does not. Its just structural discrimination of a different stripe.
I've had roughly the same experience: in the last 8 years, I've had suspicious activity on my CC about 5 times. Each time, the bank caught and trapped it before I noticed and issued me a new card quickly. I've only had to fill out paperwork for a disputed charge once, and it was a 2-page, 2 question, sign-and-mail-it-in deal.

My advice is different, though. I notice that I tend to get lucky in places where people can have very aggravating experiences. I'd say that if you've had problems before, then anticipate problems this time around too. If you haven't, then don't bother.

With modern technology, you don't need to sack New York to cause tremendous damage. People downplay the magnitude of 9/11, but as I noted somewhere else today, it involved more deaths than Pearl Harbor, and economic damage of almost $100 billion (without accounting for the economic impact on the stock market). Is a terrorist attack ten times stronger inconceivable? An attack on a nuclear power plant could cost into trillions (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/03/a-nuclear-accident-co...). Maybe not irreversible damage, but crippling nonetheless. Is it totally pointless to fear one or more appropriately, to take affirmative actions to avoid one?

> mostly because more needed to be done

I agree, and think your comment is insightful, but let me add a little nuance to it.

I've been doing a lot of work with Node lately. In my experience:

1. I generally don't have trouble finding a module (library) that addresses my particular need. (I.e., when I go look for a library that does X, I generally find it.) It does happen, but a lot less often than I expected.

2. I generally don't have the opposite problem either. While in some ecosystems one finds so many libraries to address a particular need that it is hard to choose among them, in my experience that isn't (yet) a big problem with Node. It does happen, but less than it does in, say, Ruby (or for that matter emacs-lisp) and it is generally pretty easy to identify the "market-leader" as it were.

3. The problem that I do run into in Node (with greater frequency than most ecosystems I've worked with) is that I'll stumble across minor bugs in the modules I'm using. These tend to be moderately easy-to-fix issues that crop up in moderately-rare edge-cases, but they are definitely there. (I suppose this speaks to the relative maturity of the ecosystem.)

Counter-intuitively, I think this may actually be a good thing for the Node ecosystem. I'm reminded of the advice to open source developers to essentially "leave something broken" (or incomplete) so that potential contributors can make small-scale contributions [1]. A library that is too complete and well-designed is hard to contribute to (without investing a lot of time in understanding the architecture and direction of the project overall), but if you've got a library that does 95% percent of what you want, but fails on that one small edge case, more contributors are both willing and able to roll up their sleeves to scratch their particular itch.

[1] I can't remember or google-conjure the source of this advice right now. For some reason I think it might have been Marc Andreessen, but it sure sounds like something ESR would say.

Concrete feedback: once I hit the phrase "license generator" it became unclear to me whether the projects that had been commercialized by you still were actually open source.

I've had enough bad experiences with people who wanted the open source label while not being open source that I don't give the benefit of the doubt any more. And I'm not interested enough to go to your site to investigate for myself.
How to create a dynamic linked Google CSE without swamping your server
I think you're trolling, nonetheless... I have a Stutterer friend, and he does present himself at conferences. And I think it may have others, because actually when Stutterers are very concious of their talk (like in a conference) they stutter a lot less, so it becomes more subtle...
I think the modules which tackle very common functionality do naturally rise to the top, and end up being well-maintained and fairly standard throughout the community. A good example is mikael's request (https://github.com/mikeal/request) which I suppose is a urllib2 equivalent.

Modules like this are constantly referenced in other modules, and in tutorials etc. By scrolling down this list (https://npmjs.org/browse/depended) you can get a sense of which modules now form the community curated 'standard library' for node - if you were a new node dev looking for a very common piece of functionality for your project, this might be a good place to start looking.
> You can specify a git endpoint for a module import.

But you lose some of the magic that comes from expressing dependencies through semver versioning. You can publish multiple versions of a module sourced from git, of course, but that takes a lot more manual effort for publishers than than it does to publish on npmjs.org.

You can see plainly in one of the videos everyone running to the site of the bombing to help those in need; during 9/11 the same thing happened. Its only those people disconnected from the event (not everyone of course), fueled by vitriol from the media, who foster this irrational fear that ends up turning into xenophobia and irrational politics.
That's actually a solved problem (in node.js at least). npm builds a node_modules tree where each package gets its own copies (with the correct versions) of its dependents. Gone are the days when people took on dependency hell for a few MB of diskspace.
Also the rate of package creation probably isn't uniform over the lifetime of the language.
Bitcoin is Crashing – Live Order Book
Obviously if Node doesnt come 'batteries included' then you have to re-invent-from-scratch all the tools like package management, dependency management, MVC libraries, etc.

That doesn't mean the community is amazing and wants to contribute! ...it means, that those features didn't exist, and someone had to do them (and yes, it's really great that they're all coming out open source, but it's not revolutionary)

Any language in that situation will have a strong initial growth as people port their favorite toys across.

I'd be much more interested to see the rate of change over-time, year by year.

Is it still growing? Is it slowing down now there are some mature frameworks?

That's interesting stuff. "Changing the face of open source?" --> selfimportantness gasbagging.

Really now. I don't need to go much beyond the evening news to know that people spend a lot of time being afraid of things that aren't likely to happen. (What don't you know about your toothbrush that could kill you? Probably very little.)

Your model of humanity is one that's much more rational and thoughtful than what I've come to expect from my neighbors. Nobody is scared of a decline in social stability; they're scared of getting shot or robbed or blown up. Usually by people who look different than they do.
I certainly agree about the maturity/lots of small patches to existing packages part. I would guess that LOC growth in Node is (proportional to, say, Ruby) even higher than the package growth for exactly this reason: not only are there a lot of new packages, but a lot of churn in existing ones. I'll add that the lots-of-small-packages thing makes it easier for us to parachute in, grok the code base, fix the issue, and submit a PR. That's part of what makes Node fun, I think.
It's precise enough for the application.

Webcams typically have a 15-30 fps framerate. Heartrates are typically 30-200 bpm (~= 0.5 to 3.3 bps).
By open-source we are talking about the availability and sharing of code, for the benefit of everyone involved. The choice of whether to use an existing open-source license, a generated license (with the developer's choices) or a combination (i.e, what most big open-source companies do, such as MySQL, Magento, etc) - is up to the developer. We are trying to promote the sharing of code - even code that would not have been released under free open-source licenses.

Look hopefully they'll improve on this a lot, but lets be honest, this API is pathetic. If there are significant technical (power, weight, etc) reasons why this is all that can be done, then they probably aren't ready for prime time. I'm trying to stay positive and imagine the future for this product is bright, but wow wow wow this is bad.
The number being that low is suspicious. In my vague, personal experience, the upper tiers of computing are about 10% female. The odds of 1 in 23 are 0.315. Plausible, but worth investigating.

Are the speaker selectors favoring men? That should be possible to test for. If so, it needs to get clamped down on hard.

Are women less inclined to try to speak at these conferences? If so, why? It's likely that making presenting more female-friendly would be worth it.

Is this subfield just that male? If so, it's not the conference-organizers' place to deal with it, but someone should sniff around for active biases.

In short, this is suspicious enough to justify a real investigation, and I'd be very interested to read the results of one.
MyGlass - Android App For Google Glass
You really think that could bring "The Fall of New Rome"?

An attack a hundred times more deadly (which would be something like 3% of NYC's population dead, if my mental math does not betray me, or something a little less than 10x The Blitz.) than 9/11 would be a tragedy with only a few parallels in history. It would be an astronomically staggering blow to our economy. Hell, the mangled remains of the economy after such an attack probably would not even be recognizable as an economy at all... But bring down our society? No, not unless we allowed our fear to betray us. Not unless we abandoned any pretenses of maintaining our morale. Not unless we permit it to destroy us.

To be honest, it really just sounds like you've been having too many Red Dawn fantasies. There are no more barbarian hoards; sorry to disappoint.

Discovery, curation and support is what we offer on the front for people looking for solutions. For developers, we provide a complete platform to turn their open-source project into a business, something that is usually only accessible to the most popular projects due to the overhead involved. We handle marketing, distribution, licensing, payments, payouts and more. If you are someone who can do all of that himself, and has the reach and marketing skills to reach an audience - you don't need a service like us. From our experience (before we even started this service), most developers do not have those abilities.
perhaps, and I in no way diminish the everyday heroism of doing that.

I don't remember much about NYCs reaction, as I was in school in Atlanta at the time. But my father worked on an air force base at the time and reactions there and around that town were anything but carrying on.
