Before I tried the DIY Soylent I ate a typical american diet. Hamburgers, fries, pizza, popcorn, etc.

I tried two of the popular DIY Soylents (for a month each). I didn't feel stuffed like after a big meal, I just didn't feel hungry anymore. I often didn't finish the day's worth. Despite getting less calories, I felt great and made some great progress at the gym. It made me very excited to try the real thing.

So why did I stop? A few reasons. Eating with friends is a lot more about the social interactions than the food. I actually noticed friends drifting away because I didn't go out to eat. The DIY Soylent also didn't taste very good. I had to chug it down. And I missed chewing. That sounds strange but I actually had cravings just to chew on something. Gum helped a little but it wasn't the same.
I know who Robert Martin is, and writing tests before implementing it was described I think back in the 60's, though I don't want to disrespect Kent, DHH is trying really hard to make himself a name by sensational titles. Calling yourself as an uncle for unknown people is a dick move though, very pretentious.

Just to sum it up, this whole new pseudohollywars is just Random noise, just like my comment.

Something can be open-source and paid for. It is uncommon, because people can build it on their own, but Sublime Text is an obvious counter-argument: people are ready to pay for development, even when they could use it without paying.

Microsoft wants people to use Windows 8, not Windows 7. They've already made it free on devices with screens smaller than 9 inches.

Microsoft certainly wants people to upgrade from Windows XP, to Windows 8.
Why Twitter, Inc. Shares Tanked Today

Let's see: maybe it should have never gotten so expensive and some people awoke up? Tens of billions of dollars is a lot of money and maybe, just maybe, Twitter isn't worth that much. If it was, professional investors would have snapped the shares employees sold.
Maybe I'm old school, but a billion is a lot of money. Now imagine tens of billions.

This is shameless plug, but...

The startup that I'm at is working in a similar space. We're devoting a lot of resources to being able to easily search (from Google) your links, as well as share them. May be useful if you used Kippt, https://www.kifi.com/

Disclaimer: Again, I work there, but I really like what we are building. :)
same with https://lobste.rs/ i guess.
Totally agree.

More so: let's think about speed of adoption. It takes much less time to replace a small fleet of public transportation vehicles than the huge private fleet we have today.

And from a business model perspective , if an automated car manufacturer wants to compete , he has to start building a public transportation service now. But cars manufacturers have wrong incentives and bad capabilities for such tasks.

So this practically guarantees Google will win a large share of the automated transportation market from the car companies.

Maybe it's time to invest in google ?
Sure. My email's in my profile.

The gist is that people love to talk, and will rarely turn down a sincere request to give information. As I'm doing right now.

My brother got a job this way, and build a professional network at the same time. And almost everything I started in business came from a (well-targeted) cold email or phone call.
I guess it has to be implicitly added as soon as we speak about changing the world. At some level everything change the world and then the expression loses its meaning.
Did this surprise anyone?
While I agree with you in general, after all, what's the point of building something if people can't use it, it misses the point of this article: if you have an interesting use case, particularly one that aligns very well with the goals of the project, you need to let the project know somehow. The developers are not psychic.
Agreed. Both my wife and I have worked with people that could be those characters. It is so spot on in so many ways.
Have you tried pump.io? That sounds like exactly what you're describing. It works very well at the moment, and you could build just about anything on top of it.
Looking at how this item has fared, it's clear that something or someone has penalised it[0]. Shame, really, that a genuine technical article has fallen off the front page like that.

7 Inspiring Office Design Tips to Increase Productivity
Do you think ease of cloning is the correct metric to optimize?

Put another way, if a game developer thinks this: "This would be a really fun game! But it would be too easy to clone, so I guess I will not make it. I'll do something else." Is that a thought process that you would support?
It's absolutely table stakes to avoid being an asshole and understand you and your interlocutor's backgrounds and experiences as best you can. No one needs to, or should, diminish the life experiences of others to make their point. That's just as fallacious as employing "check your privilege." But coming to the table with a mutual understanding and respect is just the first, frankly boring part of a meeting of opposing ideas. Far more interesting is where the discussion leads in substance: an opportunity for enlightenment that everybody loses when "derailing" happens on both sides.
This - even back in 2010, I remember many fun days of playing Multi-pong (which has changed it's name more times than I could count) and Wurdle - both were really fun 3-4 player games that a 10" made sharable.

Something a bit larger would be great for simpler board games and maybe 4-6 players. Combined with an ability to sense external pieces/cards, the computer could handle the rule processing and drudgery while the humans could interact closely.
I feel in love with the show when they were explaining scrum process in this week's episode.
When I was bootstrapping my startup while working a day job, I used to wonder how to answer that question. My product was bringing in more money then the company's costs, so it felt "profitable", yet not enough to employ me full-time. Seems like there is a difference between that and something that is just plain unprofitable (where the burn rate will eventually cause the bank account to go to zero).

Facebook dropped down to $18 also before bouncing back. Twitter will also bounce back if they show some money during their quarterly reports. Today, the whole market tanked so in this case weak stocks get more hammered. It is time to buy more shares. This is also one of the strategies
The original article is a bit unclear on this, but the command was not directly received from a TCP connection initiated by the botnet owner.

Rather, his server connected to some IRC server and joined a channel with all his other bot friends. The owner then sent the command to the IRC channel, and it is then broadcasted to all bots by whatever IRC server he is using.

(This is why lots of IaaS providers will forbid you from hosting an IRC server, and sometimes block all IRC traffic (by port anyway) on their networks)

I believe that users are sufficiently offended by ads to pay to avoid them, but clearly and provably not the price that app.net charged.

I believe there's more to it than that, but the price being too high was a major contributor.
Good luck for your journey!
The only question is "who pays for the infrastructure". Wikipedia has done extremely well with its donation drives; that's very hard to repeat. App.net seems to have struggled to make users pay directly. Arguably the whatsapp charging model has worked best.
Perhaps, but either way as a ST2 user I'm looking for a replacement and once ST2 does not meet my needs I'll either go back to emacs full time or look towards something else for light weight stuff.

I've already movers most of my we stuff to IntelliJ/WebStorm. I really liked ST2 but was a little miffed that right after I bought my licence ST3 was pushed to the forefront of the site without a reasonable upgrade plan.
Primarily from it's integration with provisioners (Puppet, Chef, etc, even inline shell commands), it's folder share support and the conventions you get that make it easy to build a sane lifecycle around (vagrant up, vagrant suspend, vagrant destroy).

your comments are, bluntly, massively entitled. One of the open source tradeoffs is that they often come with slightly more install/configuration work; in trade for usage freedom, the ability to modify the source, and of course, zero required cash outlay. I share ml code on cran because I wrote it and I'm happy to have other people use it; that doesn't come with a requirement for me to spend more than zero time helping them do so and when I do, it's because I happen to feel like it. Telling me you're doing something interesting (to me!) will often help interest me in helping you. The massive wave of demanding users that want hand holding typically don't even get a reply from me.
Congrats to Karri and Jori. Really enjoyed collaborating and helping out with developer resources while building FeedLeap. Best to both.

> Many of the people around me, however, didn’t feel the same. My friends and parents thought that my choice was honorable, but at the same time I was probably throwing away a chance that I would be unlikely to get a second time.

> A few days later, all of the issues I thought I had overcome crumbled back on me much harder than before. I had started to regret “wasting” this opportunity, and I felt as if the people around me were disappointed by my actions.

It can be really disorienting when our intuitions and convictions clash with those of the people we listen to and trust. The cognitive dissonance can be so great that we find ourselves desperately trying to reorient our perspective to dissolve this conflict, as Gabriele manages to do:

> Thanks to the help of my parents and my friends, I realized that the only way to get over this without feeling like I had missed an opportunity would be to embrace it and produce an app. I wouldn’t be doing it for profit, though. In fact, that is not what matters to me. All that matters is knowing that I didn’t waste a chance, no matter if I’m going to succeed or fail.

This is not to say that Gabriele "sold out" or did the "wrong" thing. Rather, "right" and "wrong" are concepts we assign to actions as we fit them into our own patchwork of moral attitudes, and are probably more malleable than we'd like to believe.

I was once faced with a very lucrative offer from a major tech company to work on analytics for their popular ad engine. I was extremely conflicted about this as I happen to dislike online advertising, and especially search engine marketing. To my horror, the majority of my friends and family encouraged me to take the position despite my ethical qualms, as the benefit to my resume would be enormous. Up until this point my own ethical intuitions had more or less aligned with those of my peers, but suddenly I found myself alienated. Was I stupid to pass up this opportunity, or were they wrong to tell me to take it?

It was one of the most difficult decisions of my life, but I decided to turn down the offer. It was liberating, in a sense; I came to realize my own ethical agency and that I could choose for myself what "right" and "wrong" meant. But it was also a lonely decision, one whose "rightness" was not shared with those I cared about.

I'm not sure what my point is here, except to say that I'm glad Gabriele found peace with his decisions. When you believe one thing and everyone else believes another, it can be difficult to know whether to change your own beliefs or not, especially when the content of those beliefs is something as abstract as "right" and "wrong." In some sense, there is no right choice, only the one you make.

Well if we're on Twitter and I want to send you a non-public link (just between you and me) then you have to make a dropbox account. Or a Box.net account, or a Mega account, or every other kind of account you might get sent to. If we're talking on app.net, I know I can send you a file hosted there. I know twitter added inline photo support recently, but app.net had it first.

The xml manifest bug I was referring to was introduced in the release build of Cordova 3.4.0. Here is a sample of some of the confusion caused at the time: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phonegap/ahzIwbUqr4A

Adobe apparently blindly tosses the current release build of Cordova into Phonegap without testing for bugs.

The existence of a bug was not hard to see: During the Android build process, one would see "ReferenceError: a is not defined" pop up multiple times.

I scoured google and even asked in #phonegap on freenode, and no one seemed to know what was going on yet. I found the cause of the bug by spending an hour poking through the source files. I then spent the rest of the day idling in #phonegap, explaining to the confused newcomers what they could do to fix their build. That was the first and last time I ever tried using Phonegap.

It's different and better because it moves the abstraction layer up a few notches.

First, Vagrant supports much more than just VirtualBox (maybe not a big deal if you only want to use VirtualBox).

Second, Vagrant comes with a nice configuration layer allowing you to specify what OS and VM options you want to use (maybe not a big deal if everyone in your group is already comfortable with the VirtualBox command line).

Third, it handles provisioning new VM's using the provisioner of your choice, like Chef, Puppet, regular old shell scripts, etc. (Maybe not a big deal if everyone in your group is already an expert at using the chosen tool e.g. knife).

Fourth, it wraps up all of the previous steps (plus a bunch more), so that people can just clone the current box and type 'vagrant up', and have a working copy of the production/staging/test/dev network. (Maybe not a big deal if everyone in your group is already an expert at setting up that network).

Anyway, I know that all comes off a bit glib, but Vagrant really shines in automating a bunch of not-necessarily difficult manual steps. I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anything that can't also be done through a variety of other mechanisms (being well-versed in the VirtualBox command line, for example), but so far, I've found it to be more pleasant to use than dealing with all those other mechanisms.

You can say the same thing about software. I used to use the built in reader to Opera but all that was dropped recently when Opera dropped their codebase and turned into Chrome.
Sad but not unexpected. Kippt has always felt like the kind of service that's nice and everybody likes but has a hard time getting any real traction. I'm sure being example site #1 on the official Bootstrap page was a good driver of traffic but sometimes the product just isn't vital enough.
Since the service is still up and users' data is respected, I don't think it really applies.

"(Full disclosure, I work there)"

I've been noticing this kind of disclosure becoming more commonplace, and it's beginning to bother me. No criticism at all of you: I'm sure you're trying to be ethical and ensure that there is no possibility that anyone might accuse you of a conflict of interest. I just wonder what purpose this serves. You offer a true, interesting, timely, and relevant bit of information. The fact that you work there doesn't change the nature of the information at all. Even if you got a commission on each book sold, which is unlikely, it still wouldn't change anything. O'Reilly's a great shop and this is great to know, in any case. So why this "disclosure"?
