The "Open Web" is closed to one single language choice that was made for you by someone else. TypeScript is being developed, because Microsoft adapts to where the world is moving and they are just trying to avert the disaster that will happen when enterprises will actually start trying developing whole applications in JS. And Google is developing a higher-order version language as well. Nobody developed a language to run on top of Java, C#, C++, but there is a plenty of choice for JS: Dart, TypeScript, CoffeeScript etc.

> I'm leaning towards a calibration issue.

Surely this is easy to test? Is the level always off by the same magnitude, in the same direction, for any given phone? Would be nice if the parent article had tested this...

If a particular phone is always off by, say, 3.5º it's presumably an easy fix, though, as you say, would require everyone to run a calibration on their phone.
Leeflets looks interesting and I'm attempting to install. In Wordpress, I know to edit the wp-config file for login name and password, but I don't know what file(s) to edit for leeflets.

If it were me, I'd not open source this. Common tools that are used to build other things generally are, such as a compiler or VCS, but an actual finished product, not so much. Open sourcing this would be like Github open sourcing github.com, rather than just a handful of common tools they built to create github that might be useful to others.

Open source has a time and a place, but some things, like finished websites, are best left proprietary. There's a lot of thinking that's gone into this site. I think the #1 thing that would happen as a result of open sourcing it is that other people would just take the her work and creating clones, eroding her ability to make money from it (if she so chooses).

Choosing to open source something should be done only with a compelling rationale, and the downsides should always be carefully considered.

And I think a large part of that is because of the unbelievably irresponsible legislation on the matter - where the punishment for "hacking" is often punitive, but the punishment for negligence is often non-existent.

I think it's kind of like cars and the corresponding (lack of) traffic & vehicle safety rules a century ago: right now it's everybody for themselves, but what you really need are rules that encourage those in a position to cause improvement to actually improve.

Developers like us and firms that employ them need to be liable for security exploits - preferably with good enforcement with many small fines rather than a few "examples" that get the book thrown at them. And hackers, even if dubiously motivated, shouldn't be driven underground by punitive measures because that causes a really unhealthy head-in-the-sand dynamic.

> Value is created when both sides want what the other side is offering more than what they have.

Value is created when, by your action, you change the world to a state that you, or another person, find preferable to the previous state.

On the other hand, trade is profitable when both sides want what the other side is offering more than they have (with some caveats involving deceit).

That was a quibble with a minor stumble you made, now for a reply of substance:

As for wealth being a reflection of the value that you have created, it might be. It might be that you inherited it. It might be that you stole it. It might be that you tricked someone into believing you had something they wanted, and traded for it. Maybe you extracted rent (in the study-of-economics sense), without creating value. Maybe your wealth comes of virtuous value-generation, but you earned more wealth per value than another person, by virtue of skin colour or gender or whatever. There are many many ways to acquire wealth, and scant few of them require creating value, and even fewer reflect virtue in a linear and straightforward way.

And similarly, value that you create may not convert to wealth. Who created more value, Torvalds or Zuckerberg? Not that Linus is poor, but he's not a billionaire, afaik. I propose for consideration that it may be far easier to create value when wealth is not a priority (though I concede that in some circumstances, vehicles like corporations help with scaling your value-creation).

Now, all that said, you might amend your position thus: "Wealth earned in certain ways, with certain restrictions, is roughly proportionate to value created, perhaps modulo a scaling factor beyond anyone's control." Okay, I sort of agree. BUT! If you believe this, it follows that spending your wealth on yourself is destroying (consuming) value. I make a sandwich, wealth is generated. I eat the sandwich, wealth is destroyed. I make $1000 of software and get paid accordingly, wealth is created. I spend it on plane tickets, I consume/destroy the wealth. Only the money you give away (including via taxes) is wealth created-and-not-consumed. Bill Gates was a leech on society (rent-seeking friction-inducing market manipulation)... until he decided not to be, and redeemed himself twice over.

So, in summary: while there is a relationship, in some limited circumstances, between wealth and value-creation, taking wealth as a proxy for virtue is spectacularly mistaken.

I'm running a Meteor production app myself and found similar performance bottlenecks.

However, the Meteor community has really done some great work in solving some core issues and others are on the 1.0 roadmap.

Some comments on this below based on our own experience.

> 1. Collection synchronization does not really work even for relatively small amounts of data (say 10k records).

The issues around polling and how the server side cursors/observe works is definitely not perfect. Started using the SmartCollections package which ditches polling altogether and goes with the MongoDB OPLOG for synchonization. Has been performing well for us so far and solved many issues around performance.

https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-smart-collections

>2. Minimongo is interesting concept, but fails on many levels:

Really depends on the usecase. I'am not sure if there is any other alternative to MiniMongo at the moment for other frameworks.

The key thing is you really shouldn't expect to do many MB's of client data storage in your app.

>3. Client-side is not as convenient as current MV* frameworks

The key issue here is the how the DOM is re-written with the current rendering engine.

The new 'Meteor UI' rendering engine and component architecture is promising to solve this issues with html element level reactive-rendering as well as an method for proper UI components delivering similar capability to what Angular offers.

---

The framework is still growing up, but we are hard pressed to find something that delivers similar developer productivity.

Once you understand the framework and IF it fits your needs, Meteor can work well for production.

While Meteor and Derby deliver similar functionality, the approach used by each is so different that people will likely choose one vs. the other based on the style of programming they are used to.

Meteor: Meteor is a tightly integrated full stack framework where you program in a synchronous style. Meteor will likely be the solution of choice for people who want to build real-time applications in pure JS in a synchronous style.

Derby: Derby on the other hand also delivers a real-time development framework. However, Derby allows you to program in Node's traditional asynchronous callbacks style. Derby will likely be the solution of choice for developers who want to build real-time applications in pure JS using an asynchronous style.

I intentionally glossed over feature differences because the approach of each team is different enough that people will likely select one vs the other based on preferred programming styles (assuming neither team drops the ball...unlikely given the skills of the devs on each team).

SailsJS: It's also worth mentioning SailsJS b/c they are delivering the rapid development benefits of Meteor and Derby, but from a vastly different approach. Sails has a very cool evolutionary design and is a project worth following.

The big win for developers will be that these teams (and I'm sure other will emerge) are pushing the boundaries of development speed. This genie is now out of the bottle.

The other thing that's obvious is that there's a gaping hole for someone to fill with a package-oriented approach vs. the framework approach. True, Meteor/Derby/Sails are all a bunch of packages, but what I mean is there is an opportunity for someone to collect a bunch of standard NPM modules into a comprehensive development environment. The end goal would be to deliver similar benefits as a framework, except that devs would have no abstraction layers to deal with (more complex, but more power).

SignalR: One last solution to mention. For .NET devs, Microsoft released SignalR.

Honestly, why is there no basic web drawing app out there that exports to CSS? Should be doable and hence done.
Regardless of what you use the level for, 2.7 degree matters a lot! I can detect something being off by 45 degree using my bare eyes. It's values like 2.7 degree which require to use a level.

2.7 degree off means that if you hang a one feet width shelf on your wall, one edge will be 0.72" higher/lower than the other. Would that matter to you?
[Show HN] An Author Box with Google Authorship
Hey guys,

I've built a small author box plugin for wordpress, that's HTML5 and gets you Google Authorship for multiple authors.

It allows you to choose for which of them you don't want the box and has some themes from which you can choose to make the site look like Mashable or TechCrunch.

Please help me with some feedback on it. You can find it at:

startuping.co/go/starbox/

Mostly, I'd like to know if you guys would much rather like to code one like this, then use a default like I built.

Thanks,

I'm sceptical. You can actually use the upper button on the left side of the app pictured in the article [1] to calibrate that app. So you could make it show whatever inaccuracies you wanted. And it's far from an "unfixable sensor problem" that "would put a dent in Apple's reputation".
Also, analog bubble levels aren't always perfectly accurate either.

It's not that it's unimaginable, it's that we lack the necessary mental resolution to perceive both the entire set and its elements individually.

A million might be just small enough to do that, but the average person doesn't have am intuitive notion of the number "one million" like we have of ten or twenty. Even for a thousand, you'll have to think of a seventh of a cup of rice, or something like that.

I don't know what Chesterton thought of capitalism, or wealth, or success, but that piece doesn't condemn any of them, as I understood it.

That piece is about bad writing, and vapid self-help books.

Chesterton appears, in this essay, to be fully in favour of getting ahead in the world (though he does take time to suggest that Mr Vanderbilt might not be a deity, so we may conclude that he thinks that getting ahead in the world is not the only valuable thing).
