Recently I've started censoring myself with log message even if I know they can't survive for more than one page refresh. It's tempting to take out some frustration with a "console.log("fuuuuuuuuuu!")" but in the end it's not worth those verrry rare events when you're accidentally insulting a customer.
That would require many landlords to cut the rent, reducing profit; it's not uncommon for people to be paying half or more of their income on the rent.
An ATM I use frequently hasn't been properly set up, so during the transaction, you'll see things like "[CONSUMER MESSAGE]" and "[NON-MEMBER FEE]" and "[EXIT MESSAGE HERE]". Makes me smile every time.
Or ported these phones to Sailfish OS. People are going to buy these then wonder why they can't install any apps. They won't know to install CWM or TWR recovery and install Gapps and Nokia probably can't legally suggest it either.
The other way to look at it is that it is the logical way to go about optimizing delivery times. Parallelize everything you can. I don't see why people are shitting on it, it's not like you'll wait for the designer to pretty up your web app before you can implement the functionality you want.
In the context "DRM" doesn't make a lot of sense, I do thing the OP means "DMA" here. DRM is an API, it doesn't "read" anything. DMA, however, does.
I had it for a couple days, fun times having a cold while in an airplane, :p. Turning my head sideways and shaking fixed it.

As for the unease with noises, I guess it's understandable; one, the people that don't mind are probably used to it. Two, if you haven't been able to hear for a while, your hearing will get sharper and it'll have much more of an impact.

Three, I too get uneasy when having to listen to busy train stations and the like. I usually wear earbuds (with music) for that reason. And get stressed / uneasy whenever those don't work.
Most languages allow you to be quite concise. The best argument for 80 characters might be that it keeps you that way.

A similar thing would happen if technical writing and scientific reports kept the average sentence to 12-15 word sentence averages and tried not to go over 25. Reading comprehension goes up:

http://www.onlinegrammar.com.au/how-many-words-are-too-many-...

It's very similar. Breaking one long sentence into two is the same as breaking nested if and loop statement into several lines, the first just assigning a boolean based on the test. Then the if test just tests the boolean. Reading comprehension goes WAY up.

Look at the top response on this question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7289087 (the one with several short lines.)

I agree that 1 Gb would be ideal, but I have a 278 mb phone (Galaxy Ace from 2011), and it "works".

They're thinking that they'll probably bundle them for free with carriers in the 3rd world. I live in the 3rd world and the only "free" Android phones I can get with my U$ 20 contract are a Huawei crapphone, or Samsung Mini (the awful 1st version), both with Android 2.3. The non-Android alternatives are Nokia Ashas or other featurephones.

I'm pretty sure Nokia will be able to compete with the likes of the Huawei Ascend.

Microsoft's contribution to the Linux kernel, is, AFAIK, limited to device drivers that make Linux run better under Hyper-V. So, they are not really improving Linux - they are using it as a bait for you to run your Linux workloads on your Windows servers, using Microsoft's virtualization technology.
Show HN: Newzly-phantom – Asynchronous type-safe Scala DSL for Cassandra

You're in denial. Get out, quick, you were silly to use a cryptocurrency as a speculative investment in the first place. The tulip bulbs are collapsing, maybe you can actually produce something worthwhile instead of putting all your energy into stressing out about a guessing game.
> But it quickly fades back to what you're used to as your ear builds up a normal, healthy amount of wax again.

No, it fades back because your brain re-adapts. It's somewhat similar to day/night vision, during blockage the ear/brain complex cranks up sensibility to try and hear things, once the ear's clean it dials back sensibility because there's no need for it.

There's no such thing as "heatlhy amount of wax" because it's not supposed to build up (let alone build up so much it block out the ear canal or presses against the eardrum, which is how it lowers hearing). Normally, earwax is secreted in the outer third of the ear and slowly travels outwards before flaking out.

(I say that being a frequent sufferer of accumulating and impacted earwax, earwax buildup is one of the banes of my existence)
I find that considering any part of one's appearance to be acquiescing or reacting to company policy is ultimately still acknowledging it, and PG touches on the reason why that alone should be distressing: "dressing up is inevitably a substitute for good ideas".

Focus on building a wardrobe that can modulate and interplay. A nice (and here I mean non-stuffy, my personal preference is a rich blue slim-cut) suit can lose the trousers in favour of jeans for the weekend, or lose the jacket in favour of a sweater for the workplace of a programmer. You won't look especially trendy, or 'like a programmer', but nor will you look tasteless or in any way aberrated; you will look competent. Expecting anything else is probably quite vain.
Wow, I do the exact same thing. Nice to see someone else doing the same.
Commuting doesn't actually save you any money in most cases. Transport costs eat most of those savings. The thing that commuting gets you is access to a nice area with nice family homes close to good schools.

Usually this is not what you want to separate interfaces from implementations. For example, this:

List<T> l = new ArrayList<T>();

is preferred to this:

ArrayList<T> l = new ArrayList<T>();

Of course, it would be nice for the compiler to assume the latter if no type is specified on the left side.

Yes, it means that WebSockets are unusable for real-time multiplayer games like fast paced FPS games. That may not be "most" multiplayer games, though.

If you're planning a game on top of WebSockets (or TCP), the gameplay should be tolerant of 3-5 times the network round trip time.

Eh? It doesn't do that. It doesn't provide any context or assertions why one is better over the other. It comes of as a way to market a different language in a thread about Rust.

'modern display' is mentioned so I'd guess that's 1900 pixels or more. That will likely fit a couple of split screens even at 100 characters?
The largest sources of advertising are the FIRE industries: finance, insurance, and real estate. After that: retail, travel, jobs & ed, home & garden, consumer electronics, vehicles, business, and gifts.

The problem I see here is that both FIRE and the consumer Web are largely catabolic industries -- they're liberating some stuck capital, but I don't see them as actually creating a whole lot in the way of new productive capacity. Which means you've got two bubbles feeding on one another.

The good news is that it's not the incestuous Internet bubble of the late 1990s. The bad news is that it's a much larger piece of the economy. Perhaps the only parts which have been growing appreciably.

take a look at http://json-ld.org/ which allows relatively unobtrusive mapping of e.g. RDF to JSON. I think it would work well with an editor like this.
RTL Bugs
The argument about no one editing in a 80 character terminal anymore is a straw man. That's not the real reason 80 characters is good. The article even says why - we're just not good at reading long lines for whatever reason.

There's two modern reasons for smaller liner lengths (80-100) besides cognitive capacity:

Viewing/editing two files side by side on the same screen.

Side by side diffs.

Now, that's not to say that you should contort the code to make lines short. If it makes the code significantly more difficult to read, don't do it... but still try to keep it reasonable. This is also a good reason to keep your variable names relatively short - so you don't hit this situation all the time.
I don't think the 'missing environment' is as much a big deal. Without getting too reductionist: You have to isolate the components that you're showing otherwise it's just a big mess that's hard to understand. I think the implicit "there's actually a lot of stuff in between there" is not a big deal, much as the implicit "these molecules aren't really colored" is not a big deal in the service of explanatory power.

The reductionist view is not complete, but it's not wrong. Hypersymmetric assembly and molecules that 'know where to go' is wrong, and in a very subtle way that biases perception. The guy who makes the harvard video, in his TED talk, goes on and on about beauty in science. Well yeah, he created that beauty himself. The real system is sloppy and kludgey.... which I suppose could be 'beauty' in its own way, but very different from the way it's presented.
I imagine this decision made through both Microsoft's and Nokia's legal departments, but I can't really stop wondering what the implications of Microsoft distributing GPLv2 (with implicit patent licenses) and Apache (with explicit ones) has on their patent extortion<C-backspace>licensing business can be.

This could end up being much larger than just a couple phones.
> First, Widelands is a real-time game but with a slow pace, so relatively high latency is easy to tolerate. Second, the internet is simply more reliable today than it was 15 years ago, especially if the bandwidth that you use is small relative to the Mb/s connections that are common today.

Exactly. TCP is fine if you can tolerate 3-5 round trip times' worth of latency. RTT to the other side of the world is ~135 milliseconds at the speed of light. That's roughly one second of latency for a less than optimal network connection. Probably just fine for an RTS game or a not quite real time MMO.

It is not, however, good enough for fast paced FPS games, racing sims or (space) flight sims. They will keep on working better with UDP as long as there will be latency and packet loss in the Internet.

> We've made major strides since Firefox OS 1.0.

Great, but I don't care. I still have 1.0 on the ZTE. Sure, it's the manufacturer that won't update it, but it's your fault that you don't force the manufacturer to update it. Yes, it's a socio-political problem, not a technical one, but it's your biggest problem right now and it needs to be solved. Android has this problem too, but at least some devices are kept up to date.

> spent a couple of years using a $50 feature phone over 2.5G. And then picked up a Firefox OS smartphone for about $25 and compared them.

Funny you mention that, because that's exactly what I did. I had a $50 feature phone. It made calls, it made SMS, it was easy to type using T9. It even had Opera mobile, which sucked; wow, how much that sucked, but I did use maps on it once to find my way. Point is, this dumbphone was very reliable and very easy to use.

Now the ZTE open lags horribly even in the most basic usage. The touchscreen is so bad and the software response so slow it's really, really, really hard to type on it. It's way harder to use write an SMS compared to the old phone.

Yes, it has a browser, it renders so slowly and lags so much that I will never use it. I'd say the browsing experience is roughly at the dumbphone level quality. Yes, it renders pages better but it takes 5 times as long and then you can't scroll because it takes two seconds for the page to start moving.

The GPS won't work except in the widest of spaces, and the maps are so laggy and so slow, that I just gave up.

This phone is a scam. You brag about the list of features and how this will enable billions of people to do whatever, but it's not true. It won't enable anything, hardware is just too slow.

Please note I did't say anything about the software, which at least in 1.0 was horrible as well. I understand this is not a finished product and I accept the consequences, even if it means sometimes I can't make or answer calls. But this product will never work on low-end hardware.

That is a straw man. No one actually thinks 80 character displays are the reason to use 80 characters.

I think 80-100 is fine. More than 100 and you probably need to refactor the line some, because you probably have too much logic on a single line (or you need to choose names that aren't hugely long).
That's why all the documentation to those projects is linked in this brief intro. Yesod has an entire book too http://www.yesodweb.com/book though I haven't read it, I assume it covers what you're looking for
Yeah that's because a lot of people have decided to live in hardship just to remain in London.

Poverty is not (or should not) be a comparative thing to what other people make but a relation of income and living costs.

Around 30-40% of the population struggle to make ends meet in London. Appalling, I know. Another 20-30% just get by without much trouble. The rest have extra to save and spare.

I suspect it's similar in San Francisco and New York but I don't know these cities enough to make a proper comparison.

Why do almost everybody that announces a migration to Linux announce it? (A hint: entities that migrate do not announce beforehand.)

They certainly are talking about the details of the deal, and don't want to look completely subservient.
Future advice: at the beginning, sit down with clients and draw up a comprehensive list of specific features they want created. Quote them for this exact list. Any adjustments, updates, new features, etc.--charge an hourly rate.

Don't feel like a dick charging for every single little feature. An hourly rate guarantees fairness. If the feature only takes ten minutes to add, great, they're only paying ten minutes of cash. If the feature takes longer, you deserve to be paid for that too.
I don't think it has to go through MS legal yet. Nokia has to legally act as if the merge does not go through. If/when Microsoft will sell this phone, it will probably be through a subsidiary, just like it does currently all open source contributions through https://msopentech.com , to avoid respecting the patent licenses.
For those interested, I (Ethereum founder) will be writing a "DAOs/self-enforcing-whatevers are not scary" series on Bitcoin Magazine and the Ethereum blog over the next little while talking about these kinds of issues in detail.

No, -istan is not always pejorative. See, Nassim Taleb's concept of Extremistan. I've used "Nerdistan" positively.

People find "VC-istan" pejorative because they're all aware of (as you put it well) "the terrible, backward, self-serving state of things."

I've heard people read into the term, as a comment on VC-istan as somewhat like a feudal, ex-Soviet state. That works, but it wasn't what I intended. I was just using "stan", originally, to describe something in few syllables.
In addition to what others have said you can subcontract significant amounts of work (e.g. using SAAS systems rather than in house) supporting other companies. Of course managing significant contract will become much of the work for the ten employed people.

The final tally of Madoff's scam was $57 billion, but that number is based off the fictional account balances, including both fictional profits and reinvestments of fictional profits.

Although, didn't the US literally lose something like $10 billion in cash in Iraq/Afghanistan?

We actually continued to work on the fork until it was clear Bram wouldn't be responsive to any more changes. Once it became clear he wouldn't accept the patch we stopped wasting more time as we are trying to create a viable business. We weren't going to sink our startup for the sake of vim, as much as I love the editor. We spent a long time, it was a frustrating experience, so yes we tell the internet when it comes up. Any of the freezes we found we would have loved to patch back into vim had this gone differently, and it would have been a lot of work.
