> A better way for eps to help lacero, if that's all he or she wanted to do, would have been to email...

This is now understood, but you say it in a severe way - as though you think it should have been obvious for eps to know this. You seem to be making an assumption that, by not doing what you prefer, eps was deliberately acting with negative intent.

From an outside point of view, it is very hard to understand how eps should have known what your preference was (even after rechecking the Guidelines and FAQ). As such, it is hard to understand that eps's intent was anything but positive.
It might also be of benefit to introduce it's genes back into the population. Diversity is usually good and maybe goats have some genes that are beneficial to sheep or vice versa. As far as I know, most hybrids are sterile though.

Author of that repo here, I'm glad you found it useful! I've used that template as a starting template for purely personal projects, so beware: it does not have the polish of a well-maintained django package. But it's been convenient for getting new projects running up quickly on Heroku and S3.

If you decide to use it, you might want to look at the development of the original Django Twoscoops Project (https://github.com/twoscoops/django-twoscoops-project) during the last year or so, as they haven't been pulled in to my repo.

I agree with the adage about getting ahead of your expectations but I'm not sure I understand the expectations. Why start an open source project if not for ones own edification and enjoyment? Is not the journey its own reward in this case?
Looks like no one's mentioned Benjamin Pierce's authoritative book on this, "Types and Programming Languages" (TAPL). I would certainly put it way, way above the Dragon Book. Bob Harper can certainly defend his opinions as well as anyone, but I think Pierce is currently the standard text here.

Also, if you're looking to add a static type system to a Lisp-like language, you should take a look at Shriram Krishnamurthi's Programming Languages and Interpretation, second edition, at http://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs173/2012/book/ . It's a free online book, and I'm currently using it as the text in my programming languages class.

>Yeah, but she doesn't want all the buttons from all the remotes moved to a single monstermote, she wants the TV remote to do everything as if the only thing connected was a TV. "Why do I have to choose channels on my TV AND cable/satellite box?" and "why are there multiple sound levels for the HiFi, TV, cable and DVD boxes?" are questions no one has adequately answered and they're questions everyone except geeks and techno-fetishists are asking.

When I was 4 we had a cable box and a TV. I could obviously see that the cable box had its own volume and its video output was its own thing that only went to one channel on the TV itself, because it was what turned the cable wire coming in into a signal, which it put on its output cable wire directed to only one channel, channel 3 or 4, and that that applied to its volume as well. Nobody explained it to me, I could just tell by looking at it. I wasn't a "geek" or a "techno-fetishist." I don't think anyone of any age who thinks about it for more than one second finds this a difficult question, hopefully.

I think there is a difference between hacking (or even exploring) something like a phone, game console or router and a car, plane or any other thing that can immediately put in danger the live and health of many unrelated persons.

Therefore I thinks Tesla acts as responsible as they should when detecting and reacting upon active (as opposed to passively analyzing radio transmissions) manipulation of their cars inner systems.

Briefly: a page can embed a hidden image with a http:// URL (with a different hostname, used just for tracking purposes). If that image gets loaded over HTTPS, it means the site has been visited before. If it loads over HTTP, the site hasn't been visited before; it then redirects to the HTTPS version and sends a HSTS header so on the next visit it goes straight to HTTPS.

That stores one bit of information. Repeat 32 times (with 32 different host names) and you can store a unique 32-bit tracking number that persists even when cookies are cleared.
While it would be nice for the kernel to handle any kind of bad behaviour by default, it isn't always realistic.

I mean, it would be nice if the kernel by default could handle a simple forkbomb, but it doesn't without restricting your limits.conf fairly severely. You can blow up the system in a variety of ways that are outside of the kernel's responsibility. It's not up to the kernel devs to hack around your bad behaviour.

> it'd be a shame for people to go back to other operating systems purely because "it broke one day, something about systemd".

FWIW, exactly this happened to me on an upgrade one day on another Linux distribution, after a few other headaches. The switch to systemd broke smbd/nmbd, at the time there were not yet tools for spitting the new binary log format into text, and trying to data mine that logging system to figure out what the hell broke was a real adventure.

I was so skeeved I immediately dumped that and fled to Debian, because it had a reputation for stability.

Imagine how excited I was when Debian voted to adopt systemd.

I, also, have started looking at the BSDs again recently. herbstluftwm looks pretty nifty.

One thing that needs to be pointed out regarding these types of posts is that the top rated nations all have essentially homogenous populations. This means that there aren't as many touchy issues such as race, culture, religion, etc. As such, the legislature of these countries are theoretically more free to put in place changes that are beneficial to the country.

>Why should I give money to an organization who's going to turn around and give it to a guy who's going to use it to compare my friends to child molesters

Where's the evidence that Eich has compared your friends to child molesters? You have none. Eich reaffirmed his own stance on equality going forward, at issue is that he just didn't want to recant his support for Prop 8, for which he donated his own money on his own time.

I'm not going to dignify your bullshit with any further responses just based on that comment.
Did you seriously not see the ads his money funded?

If he can't recant his donation, there is no reason to believe his vague "stance" on equality. Someone who is willing to enact their religion into law should be even more willing to enforce their religion in private employment. A promise not to do so rings hollow at best, incredibly hypocritical at worst.

Would it make you feel better if he were tossed for being a hypocrite?

> Ultimately we shouldn't assume consumers value convergence

Yep, indeed. And the frustrating part is that they choose "easy" over "simple" and end up drowning themselves in "complexity". And they go like "I have so many devices already, and I've already went through the pain of learning to use them, I'm not going to bother to learn the mobile app you talk about too, even if it you say it can replace them all and save me money, it's jut too much for my brain, this I already know, go away!". Big win for the sellers of these devices that are first to get to the market. Amazon will win big with these!

The interesting people is how can we educate consumers to value what we call "convergence", because their current way of thinking hurts both themselves (they end up spending more and being too "overloaded" to be capable to make the best shopping decisions, or the other extreme, having access only to "curated slices of the market" with the same consequences) and to the tech sector as a whole (yeah, more devices mean more innovation at start, but since convergence will happen anyway at a point, all we end up is reinventing wheels and generating tons of needless complexity that we drown ourselves in...).

(for a definition of how I use 'simple', 'easy' and 'complex' refer to - http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy it's about programming but I think the metaphors also apply to UI/X)
For anyone interested in what ensued, Greg KH submitted a patch to systemd to fix this issue. Linus then replied (among some other words) to Greg's confirmation of his patch with:

"It does become a problem when you have a system service developer who thinks the universe revolves around him, and nobody else matters, and people sending him bug-reports are annoyances that should be ignored rather than acknowledged and fixed. At that point, it's a problem.

It looks like Greg has stepped in as a baby-sitter for Kay, and things are going to be fixed. And I'd really like to avoid adding hacky code to the kernel because of Kay's continued bad behavior, so I hope this works. But it's really sad that things like this get elevated to this kind of situation, and I personally find it annoying that it's always the same f*cking primadonna involved."

Speaking of saving energy in the shower, I've seen an interesting gizmo for that [1].

It addresses the problem of wasted hot water when people get involved in other things while they are waiting for the shower to warm up. They turn on the hot water, and then go shave or brush their teeth or start the coffee maker or check email, or whatever, and can waste a lot of hot water between the time the shower has warmed up and the time they return to take their shower.

This gizmo senses when the water has warmed up, and then restricts the flow down to a trickle, until you pull the switch to restore the flow. The change from full flow to trickle acts as a signal to tell you the shower is ready, and the trickle wastes much less how water than the full flow does.
