Not even data-based lisp like Clojure's data format (the one that Light Table uses for its configs, forget the name), but full-on lisp!. That would be a maintenance nightmare for sys admins.

Not to mention that it seems rather sparse in basic features... I couldn't find any example in the manual for setting users & groups or permissions. These are fundamental.

I just don't buy it. The license allows them to clone upstart. Why would they care about upstream taking their patches if they were ready to start a new project anyway? If technically there was no problem for upstart to be the successful project, then what was the reason they didn't simply rename it and start from there? Dropping the whole history and starting from scratch doesn't seem like a reasonable choice in that case.
> My guess is that as a "discretionary" line in the budget the UC is just relatively easy to chop, when someone making up a budget needs to close some holes, so it ended up bearing the brunt of the recent budget crisis that was caused by other parts of the budget.

More like, it came down to cutting education, cutting pensions, or cutting healthcare spending. This is a problem across the entire country, but California has more generous pension and healthcare promises, so the problem is especially acute there.

Unless you want to use Nginx as an SSL-offloading proxy for a bunch of internal apps that you want to protect from the public but your apps themselves don't use the session in any way? Yes, we can use Lua and effectively write our own, but one of the reasons I've considered Apache again is that there's now a plugin for OAuth 2 + OpenID Connect ;-) https://github.com/pingidentity/mod_auth_openidc

That said, even before this, Apache supported a million different mod_auth_* at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/ including authentication caching http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authn_socache.html for modules that don't supply their own cache.

Medisas (YC W13) is hiring engineers to revolutionize hospital care
Medisas is revolutionizing hospital healthcare. Technology in hospitals is outdated, slow and difficult to use. We are on a mission to change this and improve patient care.
Our product helps doctors and nurses to transfer crucial patient information between shifts, a process that is currently responsible for 80% of all serious medical errors. This equates to more than 60,000 deaths per year.

We are hiring great developers, who are driven by a burning desire to have a huge impact, and to use their skills to save the lives of the sickest people in society. The only requirements are that you are smart, driven, and want to change the face of healthcare. The three pillars our engineering team is built on are security, reliability and speed. These should be important to you.

As Medisas is an early-stage start-up, your responsibilities will vary greatly. One moment, you’ll have your head in a complex technical problem, another moment you’re working with one of our doctors to help them best utilize Medisas. We offer a competitive salary and generous equity, and have a fantastic office in SoMa in San Francisco. Benefits include free food and drinks, and an onsite doctor. Naturally, you’ll also get comprehensive health, dental and vision plans! But we think our best perk is the small, close-knit team you'll spend your day (and sometimes night) with.

We're backed by YC, SV Angel, Andreessen Horowitz, and a number of prominent angels.

If you are interested, send us an email - careers [@] medisas.com; include a brief resume and tell us why you want to work at Medisas. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

I've also been using them a bit as test servers, instead of virtual machines (so no slowing my workstation down...).

the fact that this exists is not just anecdotal but speaks to the vastness of the internet and the sheer inability of google to effectively apply their own rules without human intervention

to say this is nothing less than to cry out, 'the emperor has no clothes!'

Some feedback from someone who is also working on a subscription service based on cloud computing magic:

- Realistically, charging $20 - $40 a month means you'll need a lot of customers to signup to make anything significant in revenue.

- Acquiring new customers might be difficult for this type of service because direct sales would be too costly to make a profit. You would definitely need to run ads to gain a large customer base.

- If you run ads you'd have to position it as an up-time monitoring service since the volume around searches for automated headless browser testing solutions isn't going to be high. The cost of acquisition through marketing will be pricey especially since you offer a free plan that offers what most people would need.

- The Chrome extension is super cool and very impressive, but I think the average small business owner might be intimidated by all the javascripty things you throw at them on the landing page. A good tagline might be along the lines of "Know when something breaks on your site"

- You will spend a lot of time answering support emails.

- I can see this service really taking off if you find a way to bundle it with an eCommerce shopping cart. Maybe create a Magento plugin or Shopify app?
It's a good question, but legalisms aside, having your phone securely encrypted with a strong passcode gives you much more control over whether your phone is going to be decrypted.

Even if there's a circumstance in which the police can compel you to decrypt your phone, you're virtually certain to be able to have your attorney present when that happens.

That's not too terribly different from a lot of places in the US. Tuition for in-state students at public universities can run $2,000 to $3,000 USD per semester, and every penny (and then some extra) is covered by unsubsidized student loans which reasonable interest rates. After getting a 4 year degree, tuition did nothing to my pocket book and roughly 6 months after graduation I had to start paying $140/month, which is a tiny, especially in comparison to the higher salaries I got after graduation.
I think one of the most overlooked aspects of Maidsafe's 'decentralized internet project' is:

"(...)application developers are called Builders and the network will reward use of these applications by paying the Builders in safecoin based on the application use by users of the system. This is possible since the application developer can insert their own network immutable wallet address in their application." [1]

This has huge implications for the future of application development and automatic 'crowdfunding'.

There is a lot of research in this area. Here is a paper on how to search on encrypted data:

One thing you need to be wary of is plaintext attacks. Even if you use a salt and a difficult has but I send you an e-mail and know the contents and can obtain the ciphertext or its digests, you are vulnerable. There are ways past this, of course, but it is one example of a valid attack.

The pdf I referenced has what seems to be a pretty workable approach to me and lets you do hidden searches, boolean searches, phrases, proximity queries, etc.

"Studying Hamlet was such an immensely powerful experience of aesthetic bliss that I can remember sitting in that classroom 40 years ago better than most things that happened last week."

Interesting, that seems like satire to me! I studied more than enough Shakespeare to know I didn't like it and didn't gain anything from it.

I don't see how you can describe a "texture to the language" when most of it required reading a translation of it on the opposite page. I guess that much of the modern comedy that I see as being very smart and political may be lost on others.
Hmmm, my guess would be probably not? The internet says that white blood cells only live 3-4 days. If you donate 1 of your 10 pints of blood every 8 weeks, and your body actually replaces the white blood cells immediately (instead of just being down 10% for 3-4 days), you would only be increasing white blood cell production by about 0.7%.
It seems like the rate of reproduction rather than total reproductive lifespan is what matters for selection. A longer lifespan at the expense of a lower rate of reproduction would not be selected for.

If I understand correctly (and I may not), monads live in two different worlds.

A (Haskell) monad has to be a (mathematical) monad. Haskell is counting on it not just to have certain function signatures, but to have certain properties - certain identities that it satisfies. This lets Haskell do some transformations under the hood. If you hand Haskell something that you say is a monad, and it doesn't satisfy the identities, you're going to get some really unpredictable results.

That's the part that's easy to explain to 2nd or 3rd year math students.

But, unless you're writing an application in group theory, as a programmer you don't really need a monad. You need something that will let you operate on a value that's in a Maybe, and therefore you need a monad. That is, you don't care about it being a monad for the sake of monads, you care about it as a way to solve a particular programming problem.

That's the part that's hard to explain to CS students. They just want to operate on a Maybe. They don't understand why they have to care about it being a monad, or what the connection is between "monad" and "a kind of smuggler that will smuggle this function in to operate on a value that's stuck in jail in a Maybe" (or whatever analogy they're using).

If you see a place my understanding can be improved, feel free to correct it...

Bonsai Slice: An iOS game by Francisco Tolmasky's new company
> Even if it's technically wrong: Unix as a platform is now Linux. Everything else is niche products, and we don't have to use the same init mechanism on Linux/BSD/whatever just because we can.

I think it's a shame most of the original page comes off as backwards thinking, Unix nostalgia and FUD like claims.

Because this one thing is actually quite important and something we should care about.

You can claim that Linux is now Unix and everything else is just niches. Great. Like Hurd. Clearly a play-thing. No point being portable enough to work there.

However back in the days, Unix was the real thing and Minix/Linux was just a toy itself. But hadn't software initially been portable, Linux could never have risen to what it is today.

When we are making an init-system with Linux kernel-dependencies, and making other core platform services like DEs dependent on this init-system again, we are tightening the bonds beyond what's useful, effectively hindering other platforms from ever gaining mass adaptation, even if they should otherwise deserve it.

SO while I appreciate systemd in general there are aspects of this development I indeed thinks deserves some more and warranted criticism.

Who's going to pay to move and store the O2 canisters until next season? What about the food? I don't know much, but I don't think logistics work there, like they do places more convenient. (I assume we're only using O2 as an example, as I'm sure there's tons more things). Also, there's tons of other work that's been done, like the expense of the rope and the ladders that have already been installed on the mtn for climbing season. I imagine that most of the money is already spent by the time people arrive at basecamp, and that the nominal money they could salvage isn't worth the effort after planning a big expedition.
I wonder if they could have just used CocoonJS, which is basically a reimplementation of WebView with better performance for games.

But, anyway, yeah, it's well know the WebView on Android is a disaster. A top Facebook guy famously gave a key note at Android DevCon about why they switched to more native on mobile and said, "We don't hate the web [and HTML], we hate the webview." after going through countless bugs and performance problems they encountered trying to do HTML on Android.

> A mechanism such as CSS to style items generated through code would be welcome.

Maybe they didn't know, but this is mostly ameliorated by just having an example object setup however you like in the Unity Editor and then in your code you always just clone the example and place it instead of creating some new object. The example is basically your "style" and even non-coders on the team are usually fine with tweaking it.
