At the time the project was started, Ulrich Drepper was the maintainer of glibc and the official response to any bug report was "STFU". So, no.

Aside from that, while a more permissive license was not part of my original goal or vision for musl, it's something that could never have happened by working on improving glibc. Right now we're facing a situation where Linux has been fragmented into a "GNU/Linux" minority made up of hackers' desktop PCs and enterprise servers, and an overwhelming Android majority. The latter is using a grotesquely incompatible, poorly designed, non-standards-conforming libc called Bionic, and if you want to run existing C programs on Android, you have to add heaps of #ifdef hackery to them to make them compatible with Bionic (much like the #ifdef hackery needed to make C programs work on Windows).

musl can provide a real, standards-conforming libc for use on Android that's still light and MIT-licensed (important because Open Handset Alliance members have a contractual obligation to Google not to add copyleft code to the system they distribute). This means, in theory, we can do away with the whole #ifdef mess and just run existing, portable software on Android. In short, it has the potential to free FOSS projects from getting bogged down in the maintenance burden of supporting yet another gratuitously-incompatible system (Android) in order to remain relevant.

From the video: Starting at $399

Edit: At about the 1:20 mark in the video, they've just talked about how reducing the number of parts reduced the cost. And then "Starting at $399" is written on the screen. They don't actually say it. Text only.
Great, looking forward to picking one up! The one thing that was holding me back form buying a sit-stand desk was the cost. Even the Geek Desk, which is much cheaper than others, is pricey. This is quite affordable while having the luxuries of the motorized heigh adjustment.

This gem's function is so integral to an application I don't understand how it's not part of Rails.
It's easier to get a high valuation in a private round as the terms could be very favorable to investors: like 3x pref liquidation, etc. You don't need to sell the company for more than the valuation for the investors to make money. In fact they could even make money even if the company is sold for much less than the round's valuation. The only ones who are screwed are employees with common shares.

Also, you can't short a private company, at least in the usual ways.
I think there's a lot of miscommunication going on - people are doing the same things but using different vocabulary to describe it - and so I'm not sure I agree with your characterization.

In a nutshell, almost all DCI/service object blog posts I have read seem to have almost all of their issues addressed by a liberal use of `concerns`.

In the end, I think we're all talking about how to separate "concerns/responsibilities/dependencies" into atomic units so our code is easier to reason about; it turns out my user object does a Ton Of Things and it becomes more maintainable once we split it up.

The schism in my mind comes more from random blog post declaring "We have seen the truth! and it is $new_jargon_here" and then DHH pops out of the wilderness and crankily declares "yes, yes, this is why we introduced xyz, jeez."

What strikes me most in the end is that most of the random blog posts seem to lack a coherent theory for why their code has improved, rendering most of the conversation around it moot. DHH on the other hand has strong, and well formed opinion on the subject which is why he can occasionally come through and refactor it along his mental model.

This is all to say: I have rather strong, if currently unarticulated, opinions on how to think about code organization, and I tend to be more on DHH's side when it comes to these debates. Furthermore, I'm increasingly convinced we're all talking about the same things using different words.
I truly believe that lobbyism is legalized corruption.

> [1]"Airbnb doesn’t even own a bed, but its backers think it’s more valuable than Hyatt"

Sure, certainly an important thing to consider if you take the pessimistic view. On the very optimistic side, consider the possibility that AirBnB makes hotels almost entirely obsolete (it is definitely putting pressure on them). Hotels are expensive and cookie-cutter. While in some ways predictable is their advantage, expensive is not, and cookie-cutter is boring. AirBnB offers location (location location), comfort (home away from home), privacy (if you want it), and novelty (every trip is different). Major pluses in my book.

> Once they are forced to play on a level playing field,

What happens if they aren't, ever? What happens if cities all over the place actually accommodate them? Unlikely, sure--but it's easy to be a naysayer on the internet. It's more likely what will happen to them is what is happening to Uber et al. Some places accommodate sycophantically (SF), some places go the opposite direction (Seattle). And anywhere that accomodates, AirBnB stands to take a huge chunk out of the existing hotel biz.

There are smart people working on these valuations, on both sides. AirBnB has real, valuable network effects that need to be considered. I don't imagine to be able to gauge this one accurately purely based on "c'mon, thats so much money!!". I'm honestly more a pessimist on AirBnB. But I've been a resolute pessimist before and gotten burned badly (e.g. stock market 2013, anyone?)

Hyatt owns property, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt#Notable_properties
That's absurd. A free market is not a market without regulations any more than a free society is a society without laws.

In both situations, freedom is best defined as that which the weakest member of the group has. A society where the weak can be bullied by the strong, coerced and cajoled by threats of force, is not a society where those people can be considered free. Unless you think that slaves are also free people, provided that there are no laws concerning slavery.

Similarly, I don't see how a market can possibly be considered free if strong incumbent players are able to exert extra-market pressure on the weak players, to bully them in ways "outside" of normal market forces. Rather, a free market is one where all players are free to act on an equal footing, competing on price, quality, service, reputation, and other "market-based" differentiators, rather than through bribes, collusion, artificial barriers to entry, and the like - because the playing field is forced level by regulations which apply to all participants equally.

LibreOffice will never be as convenient if you keep paying Microsoft to improve Office. If you truly cannot switch to LibreOffice 100% then you might consider making donations to LibreOffice for the same amount as an Office license would cost. That way, at least you're not being biased against LibreOffice.
Java SE 8 is available for download
async/await allows cooperative multitasking on a single thread: stay tuned for more...

The way it works is quite different from your example:

async function gen_foo(): Awaitable<string> {
echo "until we get to an await, eager execution\n";
// ...
await gen_bar();
// this code is only executed after await
return 'result';
}
$x = gen_foo(); // x is a handle, suspended at the point of its first 'await'
await $x; // ... and now it's resumed

The benefit comes from being able to batch these async functions together:

list($x, $y, $z) = await genva(
gen_foo(),
gen_bar(),
gen_baz();
); // genva creates a wait handle for awaiting its args

// ... and when we get here $x, $y, and $z are all assigned
Twitter itself may be a fad, but there's still a need for some kind of light-weight, small, broadcast mechanism.

If this had been done decades ago, we'd have an RFC and it would be a distributed protocol like email. Instead we have a single company dictating terms, for better or worse.

Thanks for the writeup. I'm in Texas, and we are not allowed any subsidy no matter the income bracket. My experience was that I received a better priced plan off market from an aggressive insurance planner than on market. Specifically about $80/mo less for slightly higher benefits. Young, single men can get the best rates off market. Older individuals may get a better rate on market.
> It's an attitude which says that as long as the elite class of techies get freedom to do as they like, that's good enough. The freedom of the end-users does not matter

I actually don't see the additional restrictions in the GPL as doing much for end users, per se. The real beneficiaries are still developers, just developers one level further removed from the licensor than the beneficiaries of the freedom in permissive licenses. But if you think that a substantial portion of the people using your work under a permissive license are themselves likely to offer a Free/Open license (whether permissive or copyleft), a copyleft license actually may reduce the freedom actually experienced by the indirect beneficiaries as well as that experienced by direct licensees.

I agree. Even if it's in the video, they should have the price front and center. Standing desks are nothing new, although publicizing them has been difficult. Part of that is the high price, usually around 800-1000 USD. To put one out around 400 USD would be worthwhile.

We don't do any type inference across function boundaries, so we largely dodge the issue that I think you are getting at. (Please elaborate if I misunderstand!) We rely on interface and class definitions in order to know what methods are available, and even though the runtime resolves everything at runtime so you can call any method that happens to exist at that time ("duck typing"), we enforce statically that methods do exist where we can. So for example, the following code will work at runtime since the method `g` does exist, our static typechecker will reject it since it does not exist on type `I`.

<?hh // strict
interface I { public function f(): void; }
class C implements I {
public function f(): void {}
public function g(): void {}
}
function f(I $i): void {
$i->g();
}
f(new C());
You have a good memory!

If I remember...

The original Daewoo cars in the UK were based on old Astra (and other Vauxhall) models, with body panels that were just not quite as well defined as the Astra originals. This appearance was a bit like the tacky Rover versions of Honda cars or how we imagine Chinese 'knock offs' to look. They were competing against Lada and other low price motors at the budget end of the price range. I don't think the service-by-Halfords arrangement worked out too well for them and other dealerships tried their hardest to do them down. Nonetheless they were a disruptive presence in the marketplace - at the time I lived in a rural part of Wales and those Daewoo efforts were quite common.

In a UK context the Tesla dealerships are probably more akin to the McLaren dealerships (I think these are owned by M(a)cLaren, i.e. Ron Dennis et al., but they could be a franchise). McLaren are an up-market premium brand and, having a McLaren dealership in nearby Knightsbridge, probably isn't going to stress out the Ford dealers on the A5 (or rural Wales) in the same way that Daewoo disrupted things. I think our American friends are over-worrying about the 'threat' Tesla are to regular car dealers.

thanks for asking this question & sorry for the sales lingo :)

when I say sales model what I mean is the most successful/feasible way to sell your product.

is it via inside sales (people sending emails, making calls and giving online demos) or field sales ( people going door to door or flying to large enterprise customers for meetings etc) or a combination of both.

are you getting your leads via marketing (inbound) or do you have to do cold outreach (outbound) or a combination of both.

what tools and process do you use to sell
what is the average time it takes you to close a deal
what's the average deal size a sales person can close
etc etc

all these factors and a bunch more would make up your sales model.

probably a good idea to write a post dedicated to this subject but I hope this clarifies it a bit :)
I'd be much more interested in purchasing just the frame so I could use my own desk top instead. I hope eventually that will be an option. Other than that, I'm glad someone is trying to make mechanical standing desks more affordable to everyone.
The solution you describe is isomorphic to the one proposed in the blog post, which I think you recognize?

But both leave a lot to be desired. I personally think in both cases they are a code smell, and we ought to either introduce an object whose explicit job it is to worry about these inter domain interactions or pile it up as a mixin into the appropriate domain models.
This desk doesn't look like it does very low. When I do sit, I like my desk to be almost on my lap, so that my arms hang straight down, and my elbows are very close to 90 degrees. I find this very comfortable. However, it means the desk itself has to go fairly low (mine is at 26.5 inches or 670mm right now).

Point is ... if you get a standing desk, make sure it works when sitting just as well as when standing. Check the 'lowest height' and compare it to what you use.

EDIT: I am impressed with the removal of the stabilizer between the legs. That's a great feature.

Hack runs on the HHVM engine. HHVM is fairly stable and is used by Facebook to serve over a billion web requests per today. In the past year or so developers outside of Facebook have started using HHVM to run other PHP codebases, and at present 20 of the top PHP frameworks are able to run correctly on HHVM (hhvm.com/frameworks), with 9 of the framework's test suites fully passing.

If you encounter behavioral differences or bugs when running HHVM, you can report it at our github site (hhvm.com/repo) and we will help get it resolved.
> Car registration fees are not sales taxes.

No, they are (in California, at least) ad valorem property taxes.

As klinquist notes, this is incorrect in California.
If you want something relatively cheap, IKEA has been selling them for years for around the $100 mark. The only catch is that it's not easily adjustable. I paired mine with a walking treadmill. Unfortunately IKEA has increased the price to $200 http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50219044/

The problem I find with StandDesk and others like it is that it only has one level, when in reality you need a shelf for the monitor or you get into a situation where you're crouching to stare at the screen or your arms aren't in an ergonomic position.

I didn't have some some specific, technical definition in mind, but if I were to try and pin it down, perhaps in software terms it would be something like "a dependency that is unreliable in the long term".

Clearly this isn't an absolute scale. As our industry evolves and we develop more reliable ways to achieve our goals, something that we regarded as being a relatively stable foundation in the past may no longer be regarded as such in the future when our standards have risen. Moreover, what constitutes "long term" might vary wildly among different projects.

I suppose my basic objection to the original claim (that building atop crumbling foundations is by far the most successful way to accomplish anything in computing) is that significant achievements in computing tend not to happen overnight but rather to develop over time, and the more stable your foundations, the better chance your project has of developing far enough to achieve significant things.
There are tons of service shops that don't sell cars. In fact, having worked in that industry for a while and as a gear for over a decade, I'd say if you want to get some of the worst car service around, head straight to your dealer. Otherwise, find a local independent mechanic.
It doesn't surprise me at all that AirBnB is doing another round. I'm sure they want to stay as opaque as possible while the regulatory landscape settles into place. Going public would force a lot more transparency and potentially weaken their negotiating position.

As for people doubting their valuation and comparing it to hotels; keep in mind that hotels have no way to scale the way AirBnB does, nor can hotels cater to niche geographic areas the way AirBnB does. It is not a stretch to see AirBnB becoming the defacto start when searching for a place to stay and if that happens, hotels may find themselves subordinate to AirBnB.
In that case, you're merely changing the definition of government to suit your argument.
