You're the author of the post? Can't seem to see who author "Sam" is at that blog, but I did notice that not only did the author write the complaint, but also wrote code to address his issues in a later post.

FWIW, I've worked on syntax highlighters myself and IDEs as well which is what prompted my reaction. The particular problem didn't seem to be a big enough problem for me to warrant the post. But hey.. what do I know, I'm not Sam, at least kudos to him that he actually did something about the issue he had besides writing the inflammatory post.
> LAPD's mild-sounding "predictive policing" technique, introduced by former Chief William Bratton to anticipate where future crime would hit, is actually a sophisticated system developed not by cops but by the U.S. military, based on "insurgent" activity in Iraq and civilian casualty patterns in Afghanistan.

I was trying to simplify to get a cross the point that the Haskell ecosystem contains small and very well factored abstractions, without busting out the mathjax and technical terms. I find the key understanding of Monoids (which lets me use them and gives me a useful intuition upon seeing one) to be "Oh this is just combining these things together" - which I explain to newcomers as "basically concatenation".

It's always hard to pick the correct amount of correctness to use :-)

Fluctuation in "hundreds of dollars" doesn't say anything - it has to be talked about in percentage to make any sense. The fluctuations are big in that sense, too, but it shows how much credibility the author has on the subject.
The point is that after going through all the bankruptcy process, they most likely will have all their code audited and checked, as well as external entities for monitoring.

MtGox will be one of the best secured exchanges after it, that's for sure - I don't count on MtGox going down at all.
Not sure about that - if it's on a publicly accessible URL on a site designed to generate public interest, it's their own fault it got out.
Hmmm, India has a literacy rate below 75 percent and we're supposed to believe that on average they read the most in the world?
Yes, this is mod_autoindex, right?
Let's be clear about what is fluctuating, it is the value of bitcoins compared to other currencies. At this stage, the market value of bitcoin compared to the US dollar (for example) is not yet firmly established. Events like the Mt.Gox scandal and moves by governments to block bitcoin trading has knocked back the price of bitcoin, but these are early days for cryptocurrencies, a few shifts in the maturity of the market should ensure a more stable future as long as they are popular. These shifts include a next-gen Mt.Gox (architected to avoid the issues of its predecessors), and mining rate slowing down (will be inevitable at some point, it's just a question of time).

> Abstraction, expressiveness aren't on your map yet.

Not only that, there are multiple levels of abstraction to fully grasp everything.

For some people thinking in the abstract way of computing is already too much.

Then those think they have mastered the basic concepts of computer abstractions like loops, decisions, data structures, there is the next level of meta-abstractions.

Meta-abstractions used to manipulate the said abstractions to fully mold the whole computer system like clay. The same way mathematical abstractions reason about the common man mathematics.

Very few are able to move between abstraction levels, and those that do forget how it was their view of the world before they fully grasped it.
What best way to market source if not some "sexy" end-user product?
Although I'm not religious, I am agnostic. Why? Because no one can credibly say they know a damn thing about the metaphysical. To me, hardcore atheists are almost as bad as religious fundamentalists in their own way. Basically, both groups of people believe something which they feel everyone else needs to accept or else they're wrong and are evil. And in both cases the thing they are so self-assured about is essentially unknowable.

To me, religion is a branch of philosophy. There are a lot of useful ideas developed there over the centuries. Atheists often talk about the evil created religion, but evil will use whatever tool is available—we sit in this forum worshiping startups, yet capitalism has done just as much evil as religion (or at least, it's on its way to). The other thing atheist fundamentalists do (as peterforde does above) is set up a strawman to be argued from a scientific perspective. If you say that god is a bearded man sitting in the sky then of course it sounds ridiculous, but that's ignoring the fact that it's a millenia-old imagery created for pre-scientific people. As much as we get angry over evolution-deniers and creationists, it's equally ridiculous to cherry-pick some age old metaphor, state as a falsifiable hypothesis and then demonstrate its ridiculousness on scientific grounds.

Atheists often claim rationality on their side, but how rational is it to invoke religious beliefs in a thread about sexist asshole talk? It's an utter non-sequitur and what it demonstrates is an irrational axe to grind.

Speaking as a working filmmaker - yes, you have hit the nail on the head here (and it's a real pity your comment's currently at the bottom of the thread).

Self-published novels are doing a bit better than the other media at matching output to demand. That's partially because of a faster feedback loop, partially because Amazon are smart cookies, and partially just because they need to earn back a lot less to be profitable.

Their clear wish is for this to be invite only.

This reminds me (and I apologize for the OT), I know Singapore also relies heavily on camera surveillance, but is it known whether they then process the data in a similar (i.e. harvest as much as they can) way to LAPD? Are there any known incidents of abuse of that system? Again, sorry about the OT, but the city state intrigues me greatly.

We had a bug once when some logger output happened to get passed through JSON. The receiving code expected arrays of strings, but at some point one of the records happened to just contain a date. That ended up getting deserialised as a real Date object, not a string, which obviously broke. Using the same representation for different data types just seems to be asking for bugs.

If I may, linkedin does allow users to correspond with each other using both mail clients or directly through their platforms. The part that I am not too sure about is how does Hum solve user problems that whatsapp/wechat can't. The gap I find as a user is that unless there are ways for Hum to integrate with the fragmented contact databases we have across the various social networks (i.e. my gmail, 1k+ linkedin contacts, facebook friends, twitter correspondence etc) and make my life easier, I may not venture and try yet another chat platform.

I didn't watch any of the conference and I hope you don't get flamed for providing woman-startup-specific advice ... People who claim there aren't differences between men and women are confused. I don't think it's sexist until you start subscribing to the idea that a person is limited in some way by their gender.

You called yourself "shy but determined" and I think that determination is what really matters. We all have strengths, but adapting to or overcoming our weaknesses makes us grow.
Agreed. It's similar to music where you can reach proficiency with scales, and then stop thinking of them as rules but play with them as you see fit.

I believe that first the algol genealogy suffers from the ~difficulty of crossing metalevels, secondly, the people behind these languages were able to do so and see the language as a vehicle, a mean, not an end. But beginners see the finger, not the moon and end up thinking in terms of builtin constructs. Lisp being already unrelated to any machine, and with the serendipity of sexp easy homoiconicity you see swim in this universe of abstraction levels.

> Very few are able to move between abstraction levels, and those that do forget how it was their view of the world before they fully grasped it.

Well, New Ruby developers doesn't have the same problem. They can move much faster than the initial uphill struggle that is Haskell.

Essentially, there are three sitations:

a) Everything is of the same difficulty.
b) Haskell is more difficult than Ruby.
c) Ruby is more difficult than Haskell.

I'd say (b) is a much saner conclusion.

Except that exchanges need trust. Customers need to be able to trust that their money will be safe, that they can move their funds in and out freely, and that the exchange wont just take their money and run. This is especially true with an unregulated currency, like Bitcoin.

Do you really think that anyone will trust them going forward? If they can manage to get their business back in order, do you think that customers will go back to them as opposed to one of the other exchanges that now exist?

Plus, I was under the impression that one of the major reasons why US-based people still had accounts on MtGox was that it was so difficult to get USD out. It's not like they were winning customers before. A great deal of them were just locked in and couldn't leave.
Read this scholarly work for an ever more disturbing description of changes and trends in LA:

That's an interesting paper. I am not a statistician or professional scientist, however, I was surprised at the amount of story telling involved in their analyses, and how often they would exclude certain data based on those stories. Is doing this common in studies like this? It seems one could make the same data say anything by using this approach.

I am particularly perplexed by their discussion of what they term "the variability hypothesis", which states that because:

1- a higher statistical variance in the distribution of some attribute in one population vs another population leads to a larger difference in relative representation of the two populations the further from the mean you go (this is true a priori), and

2- men have a higher variance in "math ability" compared to women,

then we will observe a significant difference in representation between the sexes at very high levels of ability. The authors mention that there is in fact a negative correlation between gender inequality and variance in ability (i.e. the more equal a society is, by their metrics, the higher the difference in variance in performance is between the sexes), which seems to elegantly support the variability hypothesis, to my understanding. I wonder if there has been any follow-up to this paper?

On the other hand (from the linked article):

'Back when Nikon ruled the pro 35mm world, all their 35mm cameras took the same pictures. The only differences were how tough and how fast they were. Consumer cameras like the EM were plasticy and worked OK, while the F3 was tough and fast, with the FE in the middle. All took the same film and same lenses, had the same meters, the same automatic modes, all focused the same, and all took exactly the same pictures.

You paid more for speed and durability, and Nikon advertised to everyone implying that if you wanted to be cool or to be a great photographer, you needed the most expensive camera — even if you were shooting portraits or landscapes, none of which require speed. Nikon showed Galen and other sports and action pros, somehow implying that even if you didn't need speed or durability, that you still needed to buy the top pro camera if you could afford it. Nikon never let on that the EM took the same pictures, cost less, and did the same thing with a lot less weight.

Unless you were actually shooting sports with a motor drive, it just didn't matter. '

This assumes not replacing the bag when it's empty

Which is the common case in my experience. Once every few weeks or so I'll be food shopping and think, you know what I really want now, chips! And then I'll buy a bag, take it home, eat it and then not buy chips for another few weeks. So the smaller the bag, the less chips I eat.

You're proposal works on the assumption that human willpower is constant and infinite.

>Where does it end, when and how?

It doesn't end. Or it "ends" in a police state, with a-level people living in protected communities and b-level people suffering all kinds of abuse.

And if you feel like it's OK now, sitting in some suburban home, wait until the middle class is not longer sustainable and the majority falls on the "black guy on the street" level. You know, Detroit like.

It might be done incrementally (same way as the middle class is shrinking for decades) or it might be boosted after 1-2 jolts. Could be a war, a major financial hit, an ecologic disaster etc.

Historically, the only way to end such things, is with people participating in politics. Like the unions of the past brough the 8-hour work-week, child-labour laws, and the like.
No, my argument is not akin to that because piracy is not akin to theft. Downloading the beta from a public URL is not depriving Github of anything or breaking anything of theirs, whereas if I broke a window to steal something I've left the owner with a broken window and deprived them of the contents.
So, now that the zip file is missing from GitHub, some people are starting to upload it elsewhere. Can the people who got it from GitHub earlier post the result of running

md5 Atom.zip

? That might help mollify the paranoid conscience.

(EDIT: or any other hash function for that matter.)
Yet on HN there have been numerous 'security breaches' defended solely due to the fact that the data was accessible via a public URL and if they wanted it secured they should have done better.
Nope, JS is fast enough. But it uses html for rendering the UI and syntax highlighting. Here is one line of C code "if (inLen < 1) {" in atom markup:

</span>inLen &lt; <span class="constant numeric c">1</span>)
<span class="meta block c">
<span class="punctuation section block begin c">{</span>
</span></span></span></span></div>
Please forgive me, oh great overlords of HN, for copying and pasting the contents of the original gist without bothering to edit it.
I wanted to add precisely the same thing.

A lack of a standard date/time type means that some people use UNIX time, others use ISO strings (which you then need to detect, parse and handle errors for), and others are crazy and use their own format, localised just to make it fun (are people writing JSON using Django templates or PHP date formatting - yes, yes they are).

To have one standard way that everyone does dates would be nice.

PS: And the HN measure of "More comments than upvotes?" clearly works as controversial/bad ideas do generally follow that rule.
I've lived near several Company Towns before. In the modern incarnation, it's not terrible. The execs could run the town, but they don't bother - they just seem to put in the right word in the right ear when things could be troublesome for them. Otherwise they don't seem to directly run the place. I am sure that any protest vs. the Company might turn out to be prosecuted surprisingly fast and aggressively.

On the flip side, there's a decent amount of wealth being funneled into the town via paychecks to the workers. So the total area living standard goes up, sometimes considerably. People have opportunities they didn't have before, both work-wise and otherwise, and new things can show up based upon the company's spark. Sort of like the famous Schockley Seven.

I would not qualify the towns I lived near as feudalistic. That's far too overt and encompassing. Rather, the executives/CEOs were people whose opinion might be asked on tricky policy questions, or whose opinion, when offered, was taken seriously.
