MVC and Object Oriented designs have consistently been misapplied to various runtimes since their introduction and proper use in systems like Smalltalk and Self (I'm like a broken record if you know me at all).

The MVC patterns in Ember and Angular have never made any sense.

The only good thing about Angular are the directives. They made a big mistake in adding Services, Controllers, Filters, Routes and all of these super opinionated, bulky, slow things that aren't always needed.

Ember suffers from similar bulk but the DOM/data binding is nowhere as elegant as Angular or React.

Another great data-binding abstraction is d3. d3 is great for working with and displaying large data sets. It also does the right thing and keeps it's functionality simple. It's not trying to be the only abstraction in your tool belt.

I've been using a home-grown abstraction for data retrieval and test mocks that has be loosely inspired by Angular's Services, but is much more functional in design. I'll release it in a few months once it has survived a few more iterations on this product I'm working on. It's called getIt. getIt and React. Get it?

Every time someone sits down and decides to build THE ONE SYSTEM TO RULE THEM ALL... it fucks up... Mordor, the Soviet Union, Angular, whatever, same rule applies. :)

You can also use something like react-router-component which integrates very easily with React:

> The study of how information is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation and how the human body perceives sensations is incompatible with supposed abilities like ESP, and completely incompatible with seeing into the future in the manner described by Bem

You're not stating this strongly enough. It's not just the "study", i.e., the theory of how information is transmitted, and it's not just EM. Physicists have experimented for decades looking for any kind of interaction other than the four known forces (strong, EM, weak, gravity) at every distance and energy scale. They have found none. So the statement that ESP, precognition, etc. are incompatible with the known laws of physics is not just a statement about our theories; it's a statement about the experimental facts. If there were any real interactions that could mediate these kinds of abilities, we would already have found them. Sean Carroll explains it here:

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/2008/02/18/...
Well, any system can be hacked. So, what do we do?
· Add wires so the sensors can’t be jammed? The installation cost/complexity go up and the aesthetic appeal tanks.

· Add backup batteries so power failure doesn’t interrupt the system? Adds a bunch of cost to the base station.

· Order a dedicated, buried phone line/data link to connect to real-time, live monitoring? Big monthly fee.

And, as we saw clearly demonstrated in Die Hard 2 (and by the NSA), a dedicated individual or group with sufficient resources can break any system. Telemetry links can be cut or spoofed, dogs can be trapped or sedated, guards can be bought-off or scared-off. The goal here is to provide a product that is affordable to much greater swath of the population than ADT, a Rottweiler, or Bruce Willis and can inform-on/ deter-against the vast majority of intruders perpetuating crimes of opportunity.

But, what can we do about jamming?
· In some sense, we’re fighting jamming constantly. The fob in most cases is physically co-located with a much higher power, broad-band transmitter that is spewing data into the same frequency bands (i.e. a wireless router). ZigBee has shown to be relatively robust to interference using Clear Channel Assessment and Dynamic Channel Selection to work around busy channels.

· We can monitor the received signal strength (RSSI) across the 16 channels in the 2.4GHz band. Should all channels become full, indicating a broad-spectrum jammer, the user can be alerted.

· Sensors will check in periodically (at a random interval) to inform the base-station of their presence and status.

· Finally, the data between sensors and base station will be encrypted such that it would be difficult to spoof a sensor’s presence/response.

I'm not the parent commentator but here is my 2 cents and questions.

Note: I'm currently experimenting with Heroku for a side project app and I've used AWS before. I'm a "cloud computing" newbie when it comes to running a web setup in the cloud.

I'm a developer currently using a lot of languages like python, c++, php, coffee script, & java. I've never understood "cloud computing" and why everyone wants to be on it. It's always been a disaster to setup a php application (for me personally). AWS was a pain in the ass to get phpMyAdmin setup and then they over billed us while on the free tier and we quit and went back to standard web server.

I've briefly looked into Heroku and getting it running with php and I understand the basic git push to Heroku "workflow". However, I quickly became lost once I started looking into getting phpMyAdmin on Heroku. I couldn't find documentation or videos on youtube. Am I just to comfortable with phpMyAdmin in my little webserver? Does Heroku and cloud computing offer better tools / different tools for phpMyAdmin? I haven't seen a good explanation for AWS or Heroku on how to setup a webserver from start to finish to mimic a traditional simple web server.

TLDR; I get frustrated trying to setup cloud computing for simple projects when non technical people want to "be in the cloud".
yeah, I just didn't had any interesting story before this one to post here. I created this account for YC'W13 batch postulation.
Yes, but that's a technicality. The goal is to have it sound equal tempered.

Still, it seems a little counterintuitive that it's not worth putting up an edge or something.
I've been messing around with a Leap Motion device lately, and while I was initially skeptical, there are some actions which are genuinely more pleasant than using a keyboard alone.

Sure, it may not be ideal for everyday computing, but it can be great for specific scenarios. Think a presentation, or something that has less frequent interactions than surfing the web.

It seems like there is a less empirically measurable thing happening where a displaced sense of 'going somewhere' when walking gets pushed onto a different point of focus ( a creative project , problem , etc )
You don't for the it to load - you leave it running all the time. Some kids wake up and don't cry right away, it's best to take them out of the crib then, and not wait for crying.
Beware this extension. I installed it and it broke the Customize feature completely, even after uninstalling it.
This is of course a straw man as Mercurial already has several tools for this (MQ, rebase, histedit), which will keep working as-is even with changeset evolution. So changeset evolution allows things in addition to the local rebasing.
It's quite common, though typically done for performance reasons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions_tha...

I agree that this seems like the best compromise: Have the bootloader load the squashfs (or whatever) to RAM, and then unmount and prompt you to remove the media before executing the kernel. In order to compromise that, you'd have to corrupt the process which creates the flash drive originally; if that's been achieved then it's game over regardless.
In general I'm on board with the idea that you should use the language and development platforms that you are best at, this will provide a great advantage. This idea goes out the window in situations where the platform cannot meet the requirements of your system.

Lastly I'm of the feeling that learning a new language is going to really impact your ability to put best development practices in place as you will be working to overcome 'basic' hurdles like learning the system API, stack, conversions, etc...

This did not work for me. In fact classic theme restorer broke FF's Customize... menu feature, as well as the hamburger menu at the end of the toolbar - it is now completely inoperable, even after removing it.
It looks like they borrowed the Apple's chiclet keys and frame, when he flips it over the PCB has Microsoft written over it [1]. To be fair for a prototype why wouldn't they use it, it looks nice and sleek, its flat and thin so sensors can be inserted between the gaps and more or less they had one lying around in their office.

You lack imagination. Scroll down half a page (which happens to be 27 mouse scroll events, but you don't know how many yet).
From the article: "We're just about fully charged, and the car estimates it can travel 247 miles before we need more juice."

And then "The estimated 265-mile range of a fully equipped Tesla Model S has allayed some concerns about having enough juice to get where you want to go."

So they left on a long trip with a 93% charge knowing that it was going to be close and fell short by 3 miles... why is this news or article worthy?

I don't own a Tesla and don't plan on owning one any time soon, but articles like this really annoy me, as they don't provide any meaningful substance. The estimated ranges for gas cars are affected in the same way by driving conditions and the driver.

The person they refer to who did a CA to VA trip seems to have a much more pragmatic approach to this and as the result has a mostly uneventful trip. His good experience has nothing to do with being a Tesla fanatic. He's just charging the car all the way and makes sure the distance he needs to go is reasonably doable.

I'm surprised that the author didn't mention or try to draft. As Mythbusters showed, drafting can save quite a bit of fuel, might have been a better idea than trying to pass the trucks.

"drafting behind an 18-wheeler truck was tested and results showed that traveling 100 feet (30 m) behind the truck increased overall mpg efficiency by 11%. Traveling 10 feet (3.0 m) behind the truck produced a 39% gain in efficiency"

Not true at all. Yes, they won't remember specific events, but they certainly do remember they way things work, and they now have a fear response to a certain kind of voice.

It hopefully will fade, but not necessarily. I've met babies (and one toddler) who were scared of men but not women.
Good point.

There absolutely would still be distractions.

But possibly less per hour in a 6 hour day than an 8, and so still a more efficient. Some studies on this would be interesting.

You meant "you are the product".
I don't know for sure that there are no other places to charge, but there's not much in the Mojave desert so it would not surprise me. It's easy for me to imagine no chargers between Barstow and Kingman, because there is basically no civilization out there between cities. I haven't driven the AZ segments, but Mojave towns like Ludlow are basically a single gas station, a single diner, maybe a church and nothing else. If I thought I wasn't going to make Kingman I might have turned toward Havasu City, but it's only ~20 miles closer.
I don't think the analogy with placebos is flawed; it's just not quite the analogy you are describing here.

The point is not that placebos "don't work"; it's that, if a placebo works as well as some drug, the drug itself doesn't work. That is, it adds nothing to what you can already get using the placebo effect. Which may indeed be a "real" result; but why pay extra for a drug to get it when you don't need to?

Note, btw, that while placebos can indeed produce real results, and there are indeed physical mechanisms that explain those results, those mechanisms have nothing to do with what's in the placebo itself; they are entirely to do with what goes on in the mind and body of the person taking the placebo. In that sense, it's true that placebos "don't work": it doesn't matter what specific substance you put in the placebo pill--sugar, starch, gelatin, whatever--as long as it looks and tastes the same to the subject.
How will Cakebrew fix that?

I know what you mean (I've had problems with a few things), but those are problems with the formulae, not Homebrew itself.
Makes you wonder if they included the lot/real-estate.

Yeah and in the very next paragraph, he gets intimidated by a truck driver being annoyed that they are driving 63 mph, so decide.... to slam on the accelerator and go so fast they no longer see the truck's headlights on the flat desert highway. Much better alternative then just letting him pass you.

It's almost like they wanted the trip to fail to write this article.
Well, you can get there if you lag enough to drop a few frames in a competitive FPS game: while the game is still deterministic, the game/players system will diverge: a few dropped frames can get you fragged.

Also, some naive simulations will adapt the length of their steps with the time it takes to compute them. Any performance variation gives you full blown unpredictability.
As a general Haskell recommendation, I'd also recommend you take the time to actually carefully read the error message. It tells you exactly what's wrong deceptively often, though not always in terms that are easy to understand at a skim.

Normal chargers can take tens of hours to charge your car. Until batteries get better a pure electric car won't be as versatile as a petrol/diesel one. There's been some talks of cars with batteries, all-electric drivetrains and a petrol/diesel turbine that can generate electricity really efficiently (since it doesn't need variable speed). Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything more about those kinds of cars.
Couldn't find your email in your profile. Drop me an email of your asking price.
Given that every bit of energy gets the driver closer to their destination, your comparison seems a bit unfair. Sure, it may be a small difference in the big picture, but that small difference could be the difference between making it and having to call a tow.
Yeah, its like going uphill constantly and maintaining some good speed is not going to decrease the range. ANY petrol or diesel car will get decreased range. Usually range is estimated based on previous rides - what they should do is - just reset the range estimate. They would get up to date data within 15 minutes of drive.

Estimated range is not fool-proof. Common sense should be applied to everything - even technology packed car.
I mean, we can understand that, but surely when you hear a strange mans voice, that is going to snap you out of the normal reflex actions? I guess if you are always tired you don't always think straight.
I didn't know browser.tabs.onTop still worked up to FF28. I wish I had been using it since they removed the setting for it.
This is also a good time to hone your negotiation skills with regards to salary. It's a lot easier to ask for something ridiculous when you don't want the job. Once you figure out what the threshold between 'reasonable' and 'ridiculous' is it sharpens your ability to get what you can.

Some people think they're worth more than they deserve, most think they're worth less. Being able to navigate the negotiation of my value has always been the hardest part of interviewing for me.
Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like Baremetrics might not be the right product for you. :)
I agree, they should have tried standing.

I have never found that running or cycling worked nearly as well as walking. You can't lose yourself in thought in those activities -- too much alertness is required. Maybe a slow jog, or very slow bike ride, on a very smooth trail with no traffic of any kind would work, I don't know. But in general I haven't found these conducive.

What has worked very well for me, though, is 15 minutes of vigorous running followed by 60 - 90 minutes of walking.

The US dollar is backed by Americans. A bit coin is backed by who?
What about useing technology to solve this problem? Right now if you run out of petrol, they send a tow-truck or a flat-bed with a 5 galon tank of gas. Why not have some sort of truck-with-a-battery than can provide ~30miles (10%ish) recharge.

It's a legitimate issue that you may take a detour--forced or by erroneous navigation--and so you might end up a bit short for whatever reason (that's not an issue specivic to ev/tesla). And it seems unrealistic to call the driver (any driver) 'stupid' 'ignorant' 'not worth of the car' ... which are basically lazy ad-hominem attacks. The issues is well understood by peole of experience in actual long-distance navigation.
I really wonder if they purposely did this to try and make it close and get a good article. Had the car not ran out of juice they would have a very boring article.
The Morality Police in Your Checking Account
That's why hydrogen cars can't compete with electric cars. Even at $100,000 per charger, electric car infrastructure is still appearing pretty slowly. Now imagine how much it's going to take when a hydrogen charging station is more like $1.5 million - but for some reason the states want to fund those instead of electric chargers. It makes no sense.

Not to mention that with such chargers you can charge you car for free, while hydrogen will still cost quite a bit (probably not much less than gas).
CoFoundersLab Acquires Entrepreneur-Focused Networking Service Bizpora
Perhaps, but I think it's more fundamental than that. Like I said earlier, I don't save after ever character or word typed into a file, and I don't even commit changes until I think they might be ready. I don't push until it works (for some definition of "works" depending on how lazy I am and what project it is).

There are all these different levels of "saveyness" and the lower levels are just not as interesting.

In particular, I don't want stupid untested typos in the commit history because they just aren't interesting or helpful.

But I'm willing to say that I'm probably missing something… I just don't see what it is yet. :-)

So my first instinct when I saw this was to immediatly classify this guy as a tesla detractor just trying to get some publicity by bashing the EV. However its a well written piece, I imagine we have all been in a similar situation with gas cars and there is nothing in particular about this that is negative, he never blames tesla and describes how after this instance of being stranded he was able to complete the return trip successfully. I think it paints a good picture of how I expect I will be once I get my first EV, I will probably run out of juice on a long trip at least once or twice ( I have come pretty close in conventional cars ) and its good to know that there are still some things I might not have thought about ( the towing situation in particular )

I agree. Isn't Homebrew primarily used to install CLI tools? Sure you have things like compilers/programming languages, but with the frequency that you install those types of things it doesn't make sense to use a dedicated app.

For somebody with an aversion to the command line I think the only reason to use Homebrew would be Cask.
Like most Top Gear episodes, it's the story not the car that makes viewers tune in. Everyone knows that the races are scripted.
In practice it's usually the tenants picking the rent split, not the landlord. Two friends move in, they agree that they'll split the rent roughly equally, but maybe the bigger room is worth an extra $50 or something. Often they'll just split the rent equally despite an obvious difference in objective quality between the rooms. This is because when it comes to family and friends, we often behave in anti-capitalist ways. This is why the idea of capitalism seems "cold" and "uncaring", because when it comes to those close to us we don't act strictly capitalistically.

It's possible, especially given the research available to anyone with a smartphone. They were a big dealership, but the whole experience smelled of a shady used car salesman.
many electrics and hybrids systems don't seem to encourage hypermiling, like very aggressive off throttle regeneration and such. Not owning a Tesla, nor interested in one, I would like to know just how possible hypermileing is?

Can you toggle the regenerative effect when you lift off the pedal? Like just when your about to crest a hill, they quickly toggle it on once you get + over the speed limit on the downhill side?

I can hit some pretty astounding numbers in my TDI Beetle vert with really simple tricks but that does rely on the fact that I can pretty much stay in high gear so engine braking isn't a factor, only danger being stalling. Engine uses no fuel without throttle input unless you put the clutch in.

Anecdotally, walking outside in a city or forest seems to work better for me than a treadmill, though this study seems to indicate it shouldn't make a difference. Lots of confounders there I suppose.

Maybe specifically for creativity there's no difference but other things (mood etc) benefit from getting outside.

> This is so obliviously insulting to non-experts.

No, it really isn't. My point is that the command line isn't actually all that difficult. It takes a little more memorization up front, though that hardly makes it only for "experts" (but that seems to be how it mostly settles out in the real world).

I think many people consider the standard GUI to be self explanatory, but, having had to teach some older people how to use a Mac or and iPad, I've found it really isn't. It's only intuitive if you already know how GUIs should work—coming from nothing it's just as impenetrable as a command line prompt.
