First off, it was $200M cash and $400 newly issued stock. They'll have to get the shareholders to approve, but seeing as they're pretty well up in after-hours, I don't think that will be a problem.

Also they had a $10M round just recently, so those investors are going to want to cash out.

After that, theres rumors that their last year broke $70M in revenues (after $10M in revenues the year before), and they're not really slowing down.

So, all things considered its a high price, but I dont think $200M cash isn't too much to fork over.

The big question will be how they handle it. Will they start persuing all the other (much smaller) 3D printing companies for infringement? Will they just give makerbot more resources and freedom and tell them to keep doing their thing? Will they make their (professional) CAD software compatible with Makerbots printers and software, allowing a clean upgrade path between low-end and high-end printers? We'll see, but apparently Stratasys has high hopes for what they can do with it.

Velociraptor author here. We don't yet integrate with Docker, though would like to once there's some kind of standalone mode (see https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/503 and https://bitbucket.org/yougov/velociraptor/issue/14/investiga...).

Velociraptor does use LXC containers though, and provide the same kind of buildpack support as Dokku, plus a nice dashboard with streaming updates on your processes and some help for managing all the config for your instances (if 2 apps use the same database, you only have to record its URL in one place).

We're running dozens of apps and hundreds of instances on Velociraptor at YouGov, but it still has plenty of rough edges.
I have lived in Boston for a 7-8 months and I did notice quite a few homeless people. I always assumed that the american social system is just a bit too demeaning for people to actually use it. (e.g. having to present food stamps and thus showing everyone that you're poor). Then again, I don't know very much about the details besides occasional NPR content.

Only in the sense that I could have also compared it to any of the other languages that compile to Javascript. It was not meant as a commentary on the value of the language design. In fact, it was the opposite: Dart's mere existence doesn't mean I have to care about if people should be writing pure Javascript or worry about any potential Javascript existential crises Dart might raise. And that's great.

It was a process to stop worrying and love the bomb -- so many HN articles proselytizing and condemning Coffeescript (and others) -- but I believe the healing started with the sheer popularity of Coffeescript, and then normalized when Brendan Eich stood on stage with Jeremy Ashkenas and told everyone that compiling to Javascript was A-OK in his book.

So thinking of these languages in those terms is the reason I don't really care about the horse race and I'm ok with people writing in Dart if they want to. My domain will be fine, and might be improved as they find interesting things (syntax, developer tools, whatever) exploring a slightly different path toward a web scripting language.

(though I'll continue to be annoyed if some article on web technology puts all its examples in X where X is not Javascript :)

When NginX's master process receives the HUP signal[1], NginX will process and test the new configuration. If it is correct, the new configuration will be loaded into new worker processes. The old worker processes will stop receiving connections, but finish their current work. Eventually (within milliseconds usually), all the old processes will be gone and only new processes with new configuration will be working on requests.

[1] On FreeBSD, we just use `killall -HUP nginx` to reload; your distro will probably send HUP to the master process' PID
> Another similar worry: if Dart really does take off, will Google not just drop support for other browsers besides Chrome from stock Dart?

If Dart, an open-source toolchain, takes off (e.g., becomes wildly popular with developers) and then Google chooses to limit future Dart versions to only work with Chrome, I would expect a fork to become popular in a heartbeat. I mean, look at other popular open source projects whose sponsor/maintainer has done things unwelcome by the community (e.g., OpenOffice, MySQL.)

First, OpenStack is a poor abstraction for what most people want. I don't even think it's worth bothering with if you can help it. Docker is what people should (and will) be building tools around instead of OpenStack. Docker integration in OpenStack is neat and even fun, but to me a distraction.

Autoscaling is interesting because it's only one part of a more complex problem of distributed orchestration. There might not be a good general purpose solution to this for a while. Every organization has different policies and requirements for scheduling resources. Docker was designed to be driven by any sort of automation at that level, but specifically avoids solving that problem.

But there's plenty out there to help you put together this solution for yourself. I'm curious what exactly you're waiting for in a solution.

It would have been unlikely they would have adopted Steam's pricing structure with a mix of physical and digital distribution, but it would have been far more feasible if it was full digital.

Your comparison to similar markets may be valid, however if you're familiar with Steam (a far more direct comparison) and their sales, you'd know that radical pricing changes are possible. It's fairly common for major titles to go on sale for $2.50 - $5.00. I just got an email last week that said The Witcher 2 was on sale for $6.79.

I don't know for sure that Microsoft would have gone down this route, but deprecating physical media would have been a step in the right direction.

What's the storage multiplier for TokuMX vs. straight mongodb? Will my total size on disk go up or down?
You are assuming that there is a fast internet connection available at all times. If I put a disk into the console, I can play it immediately. If I start a download of a 2-layer DVD's content, 9.4 GB, then that is 10 hours to download it at a 2 Mbps connection. Even on a 25 Mbps connection, that is 50 minutes. These times aren't prohibitive if you have just bought a game and are downloading it overnight, but they are not sufficient to have it immediately ready.

Or, consider a LAN party. 5 people each bring their consoles, and 3 games per person. Using disks, you put whatever disk into whatever console, and start playing. Using download-only games, you need to wait until the correct console is available to use.

To stretch the metaphor: I think we're lucky if what we do becomes real sediment that others build upon. Most programming work is throw-away business code that no one will ever build upon and will be whisked away by the wind.

It doesn't matter though, we do what we do for the love (or compulsion) of creation. I'm quite certain Michelangelo loved painting above all else, and that's the necessary but not sufficient fact for him to achieve something like the Sistine Chapel. Who knows how many great painters are completely lost to history?

> Seattle used to have an area of downtown where you could ride the bus for free. (You could ride within the area free, but paid if you rode out of the area or started your ride outside of the area.)

We have this in Perth, Western Australia—we call them "CAT" (Central Area Transit) buses. Any bus within the CBD is also free though ("Free Transit Zone"; FTZ), which is great if you're heading to a client's office and want to take the bus down the Terrace.

Our CAT buses and FTZ have existed for years and have not become makeshift homeless shelters. My evidence is only anecdotal (across ~10 years), but I've never seen any homeless people setting up shop on a bus.

There are obviously other factors at play here (transport police, better welfare system, 1.9m vs 3.9m people) that are likely making it different from Seattle, however (and these also reinforce your argument).
But there are things that do skew rather than cancel. So unless those are also accounted for, it is hard to trust it.

There's got to be a better way. Especially considering I pay 4 digits in taxes every year to the city.

True enough. The sales on Steam are what make the DRM be bearable. That said, should the DRM become intrusive, or should Valve go out of business, I feel no moral requirement to pay for the game again in a different medium instead of pirating it.
As of earlier today the Xbox One was the number 1 product on Amazon, two spots ahead of the PS4. I'd say that's a decent indicator of actual consumer sentiment.

I don't believe Steam has their crazy sales with the primary focus being on undercutting competition. Generally, the sales are for slightly older games (1 year or older). These games have likely seen a dramatic drop in sales. Even as low as Steam reduces the price point to, I'm willing to bet the revenue bump is huge. It's an effective way to derive profits from otherwise low volume titles.

"Instead what we saw was our gross revenue increased by a factor of 40. Not 40 percent, but a factor of 40."

It has been many years since I read 1984 or its appendix, so I was basing what I said mostly on my recollection of it and the sentence you quoted. But having just now rescanned the appendix, I think it is written from the perspective of someone in the real world where George Orwell and the novel exist, not someone from the future in the fictional world of the novel. See for instance the sentence

> Newspeak was founded on the English language as we now know it, though many Newspeak sentences, even when not containing newly-created words, would be barely intelligible to an English-speaker of our own day.

I presume that "our own day" refers to real-world 1948 when the book was written. If my interpretation is correct, it explains the usage of the past tense, which is often how we refer to fictional worlds in books or movies, even if these fictional worlds are set in the future. We would say "Captain Picard lived many years after Captain Kirk," even though both characters are set centuries in the future.

As I've said elsewhere, there's no reason MS can't have the best of both worlds. A disc-based ecosystem and a digital, online based ecosystem can co-exist peacefully.
OdinMonkey is: a separate front-end for optimizing compiler (one that translates JavaScript code to compiler IR), a couple of IR instructions specific to asm.js (e.g. asm.js heap access), plus AOT linker, trampolines for transitioning to/from asm.js code and some runtime infrastructure specific for bounds check elision on 32-bit platforms. Potentially there will also be a separate parser added to the mix.

The code generation back-end and middle end are the same as IonMonkey uses (sans code generation patterns related to added IR instructions).

Overall both start of asm.js code compilation and end are highly customized and different from what happens to normal JS functions.

Whether this constitutes a separate pipeline or not is debatable. I think it does because none of this custom stuff is running for normal JavaScript no matter how you write it until you put "use asm"; in the right place. I am not debating that it is build on top IonMonkey though (my post from April states exactly that).

[One additional thing to notice is that asm.js typing rules are clearly at least partially duplicate what IonMonkey type inference already should infer statically for the JavaScript code, at the same time, if I am not mistaken, there is little sharing going on between OdinMonkey type-checker and TI engine.]
Good question. I did read the spark paper, and one reason that I found for spark doing so much better than hadoop was that it avoids the unnecessary serialization, deserialization which hadoop just can not avoid. The RDD's as mentioned by @rxin, are in memory objects and thus do not require frequent serialization/deserialization when multiple operations are being applied to data.
