> Why should I trust a security update from Apple, Microsoft, or Canonical for instance

Because it's your operative system and you can't realistically read and compile each time the patches (if you have the sources). If your operative system is against you you've utterly lost, so your best bets are to both trust them and use 100000 eyes to find bogus patches (open source OS)
Yes. You need to add a @MirrorsUsed annotation in your main.dart file. See https://github.com/jbdeboer/angular-dart-js-size/blob/master... for our current best practices.

I based that statement off of John Ioannidis's famous paper, "Why Most Published Research Findings are False." It's open-access:

http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal...

He's drawn some criticism for the paper, and perhaps things aren't as bad as he makes it seem, but it is true that someone has suggested most findings are false.

I may tone down the Introduction slightly.
No, don't use a .zip please. The point is to get the user to "install" the app, not open it once. A big aliased "Applications/" folder with a visual prompt to drag and drop the .app is all you need in the dmg. downloading & opening the dmg is a fairly seamless experience from Safari.

From a consumer (end user)'s perspective, you're pretty much wrong on all points except the last two. Those are valid, and i have accidentally done that before. Tis annoying.

You have to love the media: "The boomers voted themselves healthcare on their kids backs, made their kids go into crushing debt for education, put basic housing out of reach for them and look to be financing their retirement via them. How come those darn kids aren't buying cars?"
Way I see it, no one deserves the misfortune of Angular. ;)
Nah, I forgot to bitch about healthcare too. :)

Anyways, without a better sampling of what my peers believe, it could well be just me being grumpy. I hope that my points reflect reality, but without numbers that's just supposition.
Kindly disagree here. Many people simply "need a favor", and frame it as such, without any manipulation. While I'm requesting another person's time, I might as well bring a small token of appreciation.
Failed rollbacks are definitely an exception, not a norm, and something support should know about!
> No it doesn't, the DMG is automatically mounted and the app run if they do this

It really does, especially if you're one of the 99.999% of users who deletes their dmg's after installing. Then you just see an app icon with a big (?) in the middle of it.
The World Chess Championship has been through difficult times in recent decades, often due to bizarre decision making by an ineffective governing organisation. However there are good signs that stability and coherence is returning, it's on an upswing. Anand has been a great World Champion, winning many brilliant games in his defences against worthy opposition. Carlsen-Anand has captured the imagination of chess players around the world to a much greater extent than any recent tournament, no matter how prestigious. Oh except maybe for the Candidates tournament - which gained it's outscale gravitas because it was a step towards the throne.

The World Championship of Chess has tradition, gravitas, drama. Statistically speaking the strongest World Champion has not always been the strongest player at any given point. But so what; Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky, Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov, Kramnik .... Anand, [Carlsen?]. These players have ascended the pantheon and achieved a kind of immortality. They're all worthy. Don't you dare tell me that Petrosian isn't (see original article). I'd hate to interfere with a tradition like that.

(Note: yes I am flushing the period between Kramnik and Anand as a sad anachronism).
Self-reflexion. White's point is that these narratives and meta-narratives exist and are simply something we do. The way to go forward from there is to incorporate that into one's own writing by reflecting the implicit (or implied) biases, narratives and meta-structures. I think this is the case with many of thinkers like him, from Derrida over Foucault to White, that their theories are nothing that can be in any way "applied" to make something better. Instead, what they introduce is a moment of self-reflexion, where we do not just criticise somebody else for their (implicit or explicit) reliance on hierarchies or "external" truths, but instead also question our own influences, connotations and motivations.
I would disagree here. You actually can find well paid mid-term and long-term contracts on oDesk. Classification obviously depends on your expenses but I would say it's quite possible to get more money on oDesk than in most IT companies in EU.

You can still make an exit and be graceful about it. Clearly in their message they mention that user's trust was important to them. I believe that in that case the best reward is to be honest with them.

If I was an entrepreneur I would be rather annoyed by that kind of message because user's trust is a shared resource. It's selfish. Soon enough start-up will start to be negatively connoted. A sort of Made-in-China in the virtual world.

> Python 2 -> Python 3 had (has) source incompatibility, which is a nightmare to deal with, especially because the changes are of a nature that make it difficult to port code automatically and reliability. (Contrast with Go pre-1.0 -> Go 1.0, which had source incompatibility but an automated code transformation tool).

I guess you're aware of this, but Python has the 2to3 tool[1], which does a lot of transformations automatically. (Obviously not all of them, but it's good enough that it's the recommended way[2] to support Python 2 and 3 in one codebase.)

That's nice that you work somewhere within the vast organization that is Google, but again, this information comes from a source close to the Angular core team about instructions that the core team have received.

Now not discouraging InfluxDB or anything, as a systems programming fan it's great to see more things like this coming, and as a Gopher too.
Not a good comparison.

Java and C# are both well designed server side languages. C# has the simple advantage of being younger and learn from Java in the real world.

JavaScript in the real world is not even close to Dart. JavaScript is currently trying to solve problems Java never had to begin with.

In almost every category Dart is technically superior.
Shouldn't be a surprise, they took their time and learned from more than a decade of dealing with JavaScript.
They are also not done yet, they are planning to inject binary code directly into memory.

Just look at Lars Bak's history, he is the right guy to create the Java/JavaScript successor for the web.

We all literally sleep in the "Office" but because the servers aren't on our premises, it's never been anything more than a server reset.

The system is set up to send us an email if the servers get buggy and we consult a configuration document we created when we configured the server as a checklist.

We then try to recreate the issue on our own to see if we can fix the problem and prevent it in the future.

It's a lot of fun, but it's also a bit of a trap in my experience. My previous startup was all custom, my current one is all as hands off as we can be infrastructure wise.

Unless going custom allows you to do something that you couldn't otherwise do (cases which are rare, but existent), it's just optimizing margin. And you can't margin your way to success. (To failure yes, to success no.)

As noted above, their hosting was a big number, but it wasn't a dominant cost. It's like Amdahl's law of money, it doesn't matter how little you spend in one area if that area isn't dominating your costs.

And all else being equal, it's usually the wrong choice; the best way to grow the bottom line is to grow the top line. If you can spend X weeks cutting costs by Y$, or X weeks increasing revenue by Y$, grow the top line. It's fuel, it gives you options.

The thing I miss the most about doing it our selves was the raw fun of it, and how efficient it felt. But in retrospect it was a lot of time spent on things that ultimately didn't change the outcome.
Certainly, a given anecdote might be right or wrong. The thing that seems to follow here, however, is an implied claim that because of the falsity of a given (singular?) data point, somehow the overall narrative becomes unsustainable. However, this means that the claimed truthfulness of the counterpoint is used to support a completely opposing narrative without any further backing. This is, in a round-about way, an appeal to authority that then seemingly provides a complete alternative to a given narrative, seemingly without the need to substantiate the wider claims in their entirety.
Not yet. I intend to get it published so you can buy a printed copy, but that hasn't happened.

From my research, it looks like F# does not have structural typing (since it uses the .net type system). Does this mean you can't use constraints on types, like make a type with a range (0.0-1.0) or a type from an enum (man|woman|child)?

These kinds of type constraints are one of my favorite things about Haskell, and one of the reasons I'm really interested (in another language category) in Ada -- you can actually model real-life things using the type system.
How we did "The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders"
That sounds right. OSX definitely encrypts your keys in memory while sleeping, to further prevent DMA attacks. So this would be tough to do without a kernel extension.

Another major caveat: locking your screen this way is a security risk if you are running FileVault. When OSX puts the computer to sleep and FileVault is enabled, DMA is automatically disabled until the screen is unlocked. If you use this app to lock your screen you will be removing the DMA prevention.

I would also be willing to bet there are other security concerns, as the iphone has taught us - lock screens can be hard :) be careful guys!
I think this is a great idea Rooshdi and I wish you the best of luck. I think creating a market place is hard because you need both buyers and sellers. As far as I can tell, you found 12 apps of each type and listed them here. I can see the clear value for sellers. What do you think the value is for buyers?
"better" is always subjective, and it's never even been close to my expectations.

I don't think most people who've told me "oh, <foo> has gotten a lot better in the last year" even know what the problems are that keep some people away. I think it's largely PR parroting, and a way to seem marginally 'with it' re: linux. "hey yeah, I know ubuntu had some issues in the past, but you should really try it now - it's a lot better!" - just got 2 emails from people in the last week or so asking why I use OSX.

I was a desktop/laptop linux user from 2000-2008. That's about 9 years of "oh hey - things are so much better this year". And yet... in 2008 I still had issues trying to have multiple apps access audio at the same time. I still had issues plugging in an external monitor on a laptop (or 2 monitors on a desktop). I grew tired of rickety perlgtk scripts that were marginal wrappers around Xorg config files that never quite ever worked the way I could interpret the man page info. I've used desktop ubuntu distros virtualbox and vmware over the past couple years - things don't seem to have gotten that much better, mostly because the majority of the developers in those ecosystems don't see these things as massive problems to be solved in the first place (indeed, with some, it's a badge of honor that things are still hard to configure).

Again, the point is "hey, linux is better on the desktop now", in my experience, comes from people who've never really used it for a long time and had moderate expectations not met. Many people I know that use desktop linux expect it to be subpar for many things, and when it's just 'par' they herald this as a big improvement.

That said, I really miss fish from KDE.
My draft (twice as long as what's online) has a feature like this at the end of each chapter. It needs more work to be useful, but it goes a long way to making the advice in the book actionable.
Well, you could get money by working a lot and doing cheap crappy jobs, that doesn't make it a good job. Besides, I've heard stories for clients being scammed out of their money on oDesk and developers losing reputation because of jerky clients. I bet there are outliers, but overall, it's sup-par, imho.
This is why I jumped back to kde
That's a bit of a different beast to what the original commenters were suggesting. Engagements of that caliber usually involve outsourcing whole projects or subprojects (web presence for product X, whatever). Of course, there's overlap between what you can get a remote employee/contractor do vs. what you can "outsource". Note that levies might still be due on services performed across certain countries' borders. (much like customs duties on goods)

I could also imagine a kind of "talent agency" model, though that doesn't seem to have caught on in tech. (Yet? I'd sign up for that if it provided me with a steady-ish flow of high-quality gigs and sorted out all the legal/tax paperwork for me.)

Yeah, don't use this. You lose key encryption (done at lock screen by osx) and DMA prevention, which were rather nice security features that the default OSX sleep mode provides.

You can't serve dynamically-loaded crypto code. What happens when someone hacks gmail and replaces crypto.aes.js with crypto.plaintext.js and suddenly every gmail user who thought they were sending encrypted mail are just sending plaintext messages?

Crypto code needs to be packaged/signed/verified and cannot load in code dynamically without running the risk of completely compromising its security.

This is why it's just not possible to securely serve code that does crypto in a web app. Browser extensions are the next step up, but they also have to be careful to never load code from any external locations (among other considerations they have to make when running in a browser environment).
> Unfortunately, we weren't really taught how to do statistics "the right way."

Learning the right way takes a lot of work, there's a lot of ways to analyse things, each one wrong/right in different situations. (Even teaching something as "simple" as the correct interpretation of a p-value is hard.)
For many types of clinical trials, pre-registration and publication of results through ClinicalTrials.gov is required by the FDA. I think it's been five or ten years now. Unfortunately, compliance isn't great -- something like 80% of studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov never have results published there. 20% of registered studies never have results published anywhere.

What are "open, cheerful intentions"?

Open? Dart has been open-sourced for 2 years now - only having its proof-of-concept done in-house before the announcement.

Cheerful? Not sure how one language that compiles to JS is more "cheerful" than an other, but we're really a cheerful bunch in person. I'm sure you could have a beer with us if you'd like :)

As to the your and the OP's point about Dart being another CoffeeScript, this is really far from reality. CoffeeScript is just syntax changes, and that's not sufficient for fixing JavaScript major problems - which come form its semantics, not it's syntax.

Dart and CoffeeScript are actually quite far apart on the spectrum of compile-to-JS languages: Dart tries to keep a similar syntax and fix the semantics, CoffeeScript tries to keep the semantics and "fix" the syntax (I personally find CoffeeScript very hard to read). Claiming that Dart is another CoffeeScript, to me, shows a real lack of knowledge about one or both of the languages.
