Many important parts of checkout are open-sourced via our jQuery.payment plugin [1]. It allows you to build your own checkout flow from component parts. As for open sourcing (capital C) Checkout entirely, we're working hard to provide a high-touch, consistent experience for checking out and we haven't been able to reconcile that with a bunch of small (maybe less thought-out) variations on the same thing floating around. We're always trying to think about ways to make this stuff better, though. We're definitely not against the idea, we just wanna do it right (i.e. allow non-programmers to customize without making things work incorrectly or look bad).

Sorry for sarcasm and thanks for the honest answer . Solving this problem will not be easy.
One obvious advantage is that it's cheap enough to use as-is. One of the things that keeps me from caring much about Arduino is that it's too expensive to use for anything but experimentation: if I'm building more than a one-off, I'll always do a custom PCB.

For reasonable volumes that's still probably the best approach, but at $8 a pop this is perfect for throwing together some quick project.

By way of analogy: to me, an Arduino is a breadboard. If I use one at all, it's to play with a first concept, and certainly not for any kind of permanent use. If that's true, then this is kind of like solderable perfboard: not optimal, but good enough for many things.
Or for $10, you could get the TI MSP430 LaunchPad [1]. You can then pop off the DIP chip and mount it however you want. It is nice since the chips themselves are about $1 or so each (depending on which one you get).

Looks somewhat inspired by the teensy 2.0 (mini USB -- not micro!, bootloader button). This has a lower price point and an ATTiny instead of atmega32u4. I have a few teensys and find them to be really practical.

Does the ATTiny implement USB or is it bit-banged?
I just grepped the php-5.4.19 source and the only mention I found was for a bug reported and fixed in some earlier version, though.

Ah, here's the thread I was looking for:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1173350/focus=117...

It doesn't really look like he had NAKed it on paranoia grounds, but more on design grounds; others brought up the paranoia arguments. You were even involved in that thread, so you should have seen his stepping down, although he didn't submit a patch to MAINTAINERS.
Pynchon writes two distinct types of novels. V., Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon, and Against the Day are is big (literally) complexly plotted novels that frequently involve hundreds of characters and huge forces of history. They are my favorites, but they require serious commitment and even then can be difficult to read (I've never actually gotten through Mason & Dixon.)

He also writes smaller stories that generally focus on a single primary plot with a clear main character driving the story. These are The Crying of Lot 49, Vineland, Inherent Vice, and from the sound of the review, Bleeding Edge. These don't capture his insane manic complexity except in tiny flashes, but they are far easier to acclimate yourself to Pynchon.

I do think of his "simpler" novels, The Crying of Lot 49 gives the best taste of Pynchon's common obsessions. I enjoyed Inherent Vice and Vineland, but Lot 49 is much more finely polished.

Companies are trying capture as much information about you as possibly by casting a wide net of "trackers".

The truth is companies don't know what to do with all of your data.
The first link doesn't seem all that relevant (you're citing one number tangentially related to the issue at hand and acting like that constitutes a comparison — surely that would require at least two numbers, if not more).

The second link is a propaganda piece on a guy's blog.
He doesn't get that iTunes is not a media player, but a music and video shop sneakily embedded in your computer. Media player functionality is only added there to lure you in so you would buy content from Apple.

Obviously, Apple doesn't care for your youtube videos. But I wouldn't expect a Keynesist to understand the nuances of how modern products are structured and real product often concealed behind a freebie.

If you want a media player, just download one. My favourite is AVPlayer for iPhone (and AVPlayer HD for iPad). Plays all formats I tried.

> would it be very wrong to assume this just a case of a bystander starting a discussion that didn't really catch on with any of the active maintainers?

Anthony (ircmaxell) contributed some patches to the past few major releases (including the new password API and PBKDF functions) and is well-respected by a large number of PHP developers.

He's also proposed nearly a dozen RFCs including working patches, most of which include incremental but major feature improvements. He and some of the others are trying to improve PHP as a language.

The problem is that there are a handful of people that do not want language changes, think that some changes are confusing for developers, and are generally not actually able to understand the use case behind things, like, oh, I dunno, named parameters. So instead of having a well-reasoned discussion, they basically shout the proposal down.

Thankfully the RFC and voting process can bypass the volume of their arguments, but not always.
"So you'd be interested to see the Tesla compared to a WRC car, and you would find it useful to hear that the Tesla can pull higher g's on an asphalt skidpad and has a nicer interior?"

Sure, I'd read that article. Throw the Tesla onto a dirt track too, I'd read that as well. Hell, I want to know if it can go upside-down in a sewer tunnel. I don't see the problem here.

He was also in an hour-long episode of Econtalk: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/06/pallotta_on_cha.htm...
He didn't say that. Cantonese is not a dialect of Mandarin. Mandarin and Cantonese (and many others) are both dialects of Chinese.

Chinese is traditionally only written. A Chinese person would speak in his local dialect, but read and write in Chinese. The local dialect typically had a different vocabulary and grammar from written Chinese. Since these dialects aren't written, only spoken, they're dialects.

Largely due to politics, over the last two centuries written Chinese has gradually shifted such that nowadays its grammar and vocabulary have a one-to-one correspondence with a particular dialect, namely Mandarin. But that wasn't always the case. Indeed, most ancient written Chinese poems don't rhyme in Mandarin: but they rhyme in many older dialects (like Cantonese).

Now stuff like Tibetian: that is a language, separate from Chinese and with its own writing system. This is not the case for Cantonese (and 40 other major dialects in China).
I love Popehat, and Ken in particular, but any issue that intersects with his politics tends to get the same semilogical hyperbolic treatment. The "Buckyball" magnet thing was, if anything, even worse.
In many cases, our vectorized code is as fast as Matlab or R. In some cases, we need to optimize the way our memory allocation and GC works to reduce the memory pressure created by temporaries. With that, julia should be as good as anything out there on vectorized codes.
It might be interesting out of sheer bemusement- especially if they take the Tesla around a WRC track- but it's ultimately a meaningless comparison.

Oh, the Tesla has a nicer interior than the stripped Subaru racing shell? Count me impressed! (said no one)
Many people don't find this exciting. But I am excited indeed. You know why? Because to program an Atmel Microcontroller, you need a 'programmer' whose selection itself is fairly confusing for newbies (USB/Serial/etc) and costs as much as $20 for a good one. This one instead is just plug and play, and that's awesome :)
Common Lisp is addictive.

You can create a whole web app in one CL file from scratch and it will have everything including API and DB management layer and be secure and fully functioning.

The headline is genius. It's meant to appeal to the frenzied foamy intersection of pro-Apple and anti-Krugman maniacs.
Totally agree. I wish this would get more emphasis. This is primarily a matter of policy and respect for the rule of law. The involvement of technology is incidental, IMHO.

I'd guess this goes back to the 4004 which was designed for a desktop calculator. Easy BCD really helps those applications so they must have had that in mind as a target market. There's not much point in using BCD once reasonable amounts of RAM and ROM are available.

The reason these articles are interesting is because they're talking about the Tesla doing well when compared on the other cars' strengths, where you would expect the cheaper car focused on something different to do worse. Obviously an article about how the Tesla is better at something than a car which is very bad at that thing would not be very interesting.
This comment is running off on a tangent but I think it's important to understand that Kasey is right here, and front-running orders requires knowledge of the victim's specific trading intent. You aren't "front-running" simply because you're smarter than some other market actor.

$8 for an Arduino compatible microcontroller with a battle-tested PCB, all pre-assembled is an amazing deal.

Sure, you could breadboard your own for cheaper, but you wouldn't be saving a whole lot in the scheme of things.
> How can it be simpler and all be simple? Simpler implies one is greater in simplicity so which is it?

Two feet is not very far to walk. Three feet is farther, but it is still not a great distance to walk. Two things can both be short/simple even if one is a bit shorter/simpler.

Because you can't take a toxic community and suddenly say 'Okay, I'm in charge!' without everyone else tearing you down. And perhaps he has other things to do with his time than babysit a bunch of (apparently) arrogant, condescending grown children.
To be fair, if I understood the post right, it seems he was making the comparisons retrospectively (i.e., they weren't originally trying to imitate AirBnB because at the time they didn't even know about it).
Find enough money to buy out your partner, or bail.

This is not going to end well, and this is only the beginning of the end.

You have an untrustworthy partner, and you jointly as a management team will not be able to weather genuine challenges and adversity requiring genuine personal collaboration, trust, and united sacrifices from everyone, including your partner.

Your lack of experience and inability to see how dependent your partner is on your continued successful and productive management presence has made you subject to his whims and pressure. Perhaps you are being played. It does appear that your values are divergent. You want the project to succeed, and perhaps your partner is on a "sell out at a big profit" track.

Let him fear your departure to help him understand how little value his share of the company actually has.

The founder shares should have been set up to require vesting, so that the person you bought out didn't have such a big post-engagement influence on you and your project.

It's interesting your business partner was not interested in buying out the departing founder. Why?

Could he make this move in relation to you, demanding that you buy him out on unexpectedly expensive terms, or threaten to sell to someone you don't know or like? (This threat would not have been allowable in a properly set-up share and corporation structure, where transfer of shares is allowed only by agreement or can only be sold back to the company.) This is where knowing trustworthy and experienced business advisers and lawyers can save your life, and the life of your project.

These are all lessons in control over the entity and the shares, as well as in human understanding, motivation and trust.

This is exactly the point of the whole debate, and lost on quite a few of the parties. The NSA went in the eyes of many from being the good guys to being at a minimum the tools of potential bad guys and quite possibly to being bad guys themselves. So now the curtain has been pulled back and there is no undoing that.
He tried that. He also cites an example :

"To illustrate why this is an issue, I posted this reply explicitly asking
for feedback on two items. How many replies did I get? One. A single reply.
Oh, there were more replies to the thread afterwards. But they were too
busy arguing over the other off-topic or non-constructive things in the
above list to actually discuss the open issues with the proposal."

The problem here seems to be quite endemic and I don't think there are any simple fixes. This seems to be a cultural problem. I'm not even sure how to tackle something like that.
My experience with the launchpad has been mixed. The chips are definitely aimed at the low power, low requirements side of things; I had a project where the MSP430g2231's inability to clock from an external high-frequency crystal was a dealbreaker. There's also a wider breadth of hobbyist software targeting the AVR.

If you're a hobbyist, it's definitely not worth saving a few bucks if you're only making a few of them and you account for the value of your time. YMMV.

Come to think of it, I don't know whether there are much electronics. The sound is so organic.
Well, yeah, the primary purpose of gas taxes is actually to be a simple-to-collect use fee for public roads (sure, the match between "use of public roads" and "consumption of gas" is far from perfect, but it is -- and even moreso was at the time that gas taxes were first implemented -- a lot simpler than putting mile-by-mile toll stations on all public roads.)

So, to the extent that "impact on public roads" becomes more divorced from "consumption of gasoline", gas taxes get worse at performing their primary purpose (they still serve the secondary purpose of internalizing social costs associated with burning gasoline, but that's not their main purpose.)
Some people use a "shock jock" tone as a tool for self-promotion. The article did manage to make it to the front page of HN, after all.

As someone who's had to deploy PHP apps to various servers on various operating systems, I can guarantee you that your third line is absolutely not the case. You can deploy much code to many servers on some operating systems, but it's far from universal.
What are the constraints? Couldn't those be removed/aleviated instead?
Beyond the fact that the PHP community doesn't really do the BDFL thing, the process for adopting changes to the language is designed to be run by group consensus, not by the older model of having a small group of self-appointed leaders.

I suppose a core problem is that before the current process, a very large number of the people causing trouble happened to also be the self-appointed leaders.
> I guarantee you that NSA wishes that problem was easy... they could pawn off the mere "domestic" stuff wholly on the FBI and focus on the "interesting" work of international spying and counter-terrorism

Honestly, I wouldn't say that apple's notebook line is dominating. Ultrabooks have caught up, and most people who have a macbook aren't pressed to refurb it like with an iOS device. Apple's market share has held steady around 8-10% over the past 5 or so years, and isn't projected to change very much. For an example see [1].

I don't disagree that Apple hardware is a bit better in some places, but is that worth the $3-700 premium over a similarly specced Lenovo, Dell, or HP? Not to me. I'd say that it's hyperbole, but has an underlying valid point.

No. This is a big guy in internals. Sad to see him step back like this, but totally understandable.

Internals suffers from simply having too many voices. As with all things you need a leader that is reasonable and can push things in the right direction.

For example, I don't think I've seen a constructive discussion on having some kind of object literal in the language to replace something like

$obj = (object)['prop' => 'val', ...];
