It looks like a poor man's version of a Nest except it costs $50 more and has to be purchased through a contractor. The distinguishing feature that they are touting (the geo-fencing capability) is not something I would even want. I don't want an app on my phone sending constant updates to Honeywell on exactly where I am located. This seems like an established company trying to play catch-up to an unanticipated change in their market and doing a poor job.

No, you need to scan the directory every time you read a file. So most filesystems do a lot of work to optimize this but it is still a significant factor.

I'm not objecting to you choosing not learn something in depth because you don't like how it looks on the surface (that's a rational approach to avoiding wasting time, which is a valuable resource), I'm objecting to you, in the linked article, commenting in depth (and inaccurately) on something its clear that you decided not to learn in depth because you didn't like how it looks on the surface.

The statement that Go has "no exceptions", or that for deep error handling in your own code you have to handle errors at each level is false. And, fine, you didn't learn anything about it because maybe you saw sample code showing how you need to deal with the public API of common libraries because of the Go convention that panics aren't exposed across public APIs. And if all you said was that, it'd be fine -- but you went beyond that and said things that weren't true and which people who haven't learned the language might not realize were statements from ignorance rather than experience, and might turn them off of the language where they wouldn't be turned off if they knew the truth, because if they were true, they'd be real and deep problems with the language design.

Choosing to remain ignorant about Go because it doesn't seem like its worth your time to learn is fine. Making up stories about why you don't like Go that aren't grounded in anything real is not.

TL;DR: if you choose to be ignorant, you don't get to pretend to be an authority.
If you want/need maximum performance, why are you programming in a "high-level language"?

Many of the highest-performance scientific computing libraries are written in assembly or use inline assembly instructions. The vast majority of scientific programmers don't need to write at this level. I challenge you to write a native C++ matrix-matrix-multiply algorithm that generally outperforms the matrix-matrix-multiply available to MATLAB, Python/Cython, and Julia through their interface to the assembly-optimized OpenBLAS library: http://julialang.org/

Note that C, Fortran, and Julia are all using OpenBLAS in the rand_mat_mul benchmark, and OpenBLAS is written in C (with assembly).

Using them in the CSS style sheet is perfectly reasonable. Here's how b2g/ffos uses them carefully to make the most of low end hardware:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/gaia/search?string=will-change

Imagine you're writing something that does fullscreen page flips in a native app vs. a web app. An example is the android homescreen vs the ffos homescreen but I see web pages that often have a similar effect.

* In a native app you're going to have to decompose your page into texture that you will animate (your widget toolkit will likely make this easier).

* Without will-change you're going to hope that the rendering engine will infer your animations in a reasonable amount of time getting bad performance while you wait and hope that it doesn't fall off that optimization path.

* With will-change on the b2g homescreen we just have to add a one line change.
From my brief research it did/does have an impact on x86 32bit hosts but that all but became negligible on x86_64.

The animations that are applied dynamically are the interesting thing. They are the ones more likely to end up being used in performance-critical applications.
Assuming that figure is accurate, it's still missing context. 90% are installed that way right now. They do seem to be betting the vendor install channel will continue to be the dominant channel in the future, and that bet will likely play a large role in the success of the product.
I recently sold my house on my own. We live in a hot metro area. I initially listed it just on Zillow and did an aggressive social media campaign. Within a week I had several offers.

My mistake initially was to try to attack both sides of the realtor(tm) mix: seller and buyer brokers. I was clearly taking the seller side out. But I was willing to work with buyers' brokers if they found me. But I wanted to twist the commission scheme, as a flat rate doesn't make much sense. (e.g., an incremental $100K is huge for me but very little for them.) So I tried to create a stairstep where if they came in below ask, the broker would get paid .5%, and if they were 100K above ask they would get 3.5%. Needless to say, this failed. I had many brokers tell me they would refuse to bring clients to see my place, DESPITE their fiduciary duty to do so.

In the end, I offered 2.5% commission to buyers brokers (the standard in my area). I also listed it on the MLS using a shady site where you can pay to $150 bucks to a broker to list it on the MLS. Finally, I scraped the websites of 3 major brokerages in my area and did a mailing list to 100 brokers with the subject line of ADDDRESS X, 2.5% Buyer Commission. (100 brokers in 4 square miles. Should tell you something.) Had a 60% open rate and a 50% clickthrough rate. Lots of appointments right away.

I endeded up getting 9 offers and having a 2 step auction. I of course netted out what I would have to pay to brokers, so folks without brokers had an automatic 2.5% advantage. I ended up selling without a broker on either side. 3 weeks from first listing on Zillow to contract signed.

So yes - it's definitely possible to work without brokers if you're willing to do a little work, you're confident in your pricing skills, and you're in a hot area. As I said to my wife, each individual showing we did saved us about $2K!

Heh, I was going to respond "but Assembly Square is moving so fast". Then I read the Wikipedia and saw that it was declared blighted in 1979, and didn't actually see much improvement until 2005. Construction on the new mixed-use development has been moving rather well over the past two years though, after the IKEA legal tango was finally resolved.
Running slowly the first few times is what will-change is trying to avoid. If you read the article, there is an explicit section on applying will-change separately from the actual transformation so that the rendering engine prepares to animate/transform the object ahead of time.

Am I the only one who doesn't use streaming video and doesn't want my ISP rates to go up because a vast majority of the traffic they now have to deal with is video and their architecture needs to be built out in a way that it otherwise wouldn't?
Yes.

The internet of things is miserable from a security standpoint. The bottom line is even with a security-minded approach, we will always be behind the newest attack vector, and to make matters worse no one really takes a security minded approach.

Slightly off-topic, but this is why we shouldn't hook things like the power grid up to the internet. and i personally don't want my fridge, thermostat, and lights to be hackable

Was my thoughts exactly. Seems odd to put Docker into a RHEL release, especially since docker only 1.0'ed yesterday. RHEL usually goes for rock solid stable (typically older/matured) packages... LXC seems the natural fit... I could see Docker in RHEL 8 or something...

I think Uber's value comes from the fact that they will eventually expand beyond taxi service. They could leverage their network of UberX drivers to disrupt courier and delivery services. Imagine being able to order food from a grocery or restaurant web site that is tied into Uber's system. Uber would alert a nearby driver to stop and pick up your food and deliver it to your house. They could even smartly aggregate the driving, picking up something for you at one restaurant and picking up something from another nearby restaurant for your neighbor.
You are assuming the use of exceptions is an evolution in the first place, but that's far from being a consensus. To some of us, exceptions are very convenient, but more easily lead to brittle software.

I wrote a little bit about that before. Probably won't help you much, except perhaps in acknowledging that there's a different angle to that which some people may care about.

So I do a lot of scientific programing in go [1]. I am absolutely still using python + numpy/scipy/pyamg for linear algebra heavy stuff but this has more to do with the available and well documented packages then operator overloading.

I actually find that the interfaces used for math [2] encourage a more memory efficient coding style. Without operator overloading I'm less tempted to jam everything
into a pretty one liner and more likely to set things up
to work with out unintended reallocations.

Lack of efficient generics is a much bigger annoyance.

|If Facebook/Whatsapp can payment-enable messaging and do it at a lower cost, PayPal's raison d'etre starts looking pretty questionable.

PayPal's raison d'etre is not in Peer to Peer money exchange. Its more on strong merchant integrations, partnerships, and relationships. In fact PayPal draws a small loss on p2p products. If you want to compete with PayPal its through strong merchant integrations which many startups have not succeeded in doing. When braintree made inroads into a segment of b2b products, PayPal acquired Braintree.

P2P is more or less a adoption hack/growth hack for a payments company. Merchant integrations and risk models are where its at.

While I think I would benefit from using a tool like this, I definitely wouldn't buy it as it is offered. A good idea may be to aggressively seek a round of feedback on how it's priced and delivered. This would not be a space to innovate on business models (when is it ever??)

Second, my tech tutorial past makes me cringe at the speed and delivery of the video. Slow. Slower. You think it's too slow? Slower. Ok, start there. Edit your script for content and speed, but speak at an even tone. Talking fast and skipping syllables is not a way to get the material out faster. Put a 2x button on the player for that.

What will-change optimization is used under the covers is an implementation detail. Declaring what types of changes you want optimized is something best suited for the page developer. Letting the rendering engine infer and prepare for changes you want to make is something engines already do. It works but only so well.

It still doesn't make any sense. You have a women who has provably given birth to children that don't share her DNA, and who is bringing them up as her children.

Taking them away solves nothing. In fact, it's inhuman to the point of insanity. It's also financially nonsensical, since the cost of children in care is dramatically higher than social assistance, and quite likely to get worse (because of the impact on the kids of being torn from their mother).

A system not operated by idiots would have suggested a quick and cheap compromise, such as making the kids legally hers by adoption.
Typically the issue is not the commands themselves but the shell. Trying to do "something *" on the shell command line will expand out the glob, and if the resulting string is too long (e.g. you fail to malloc() it!) the shell will do something ranging from crashing to not running the command and giving a useful error message.
> systemd is a big win (although a hot topic)

Red Hat employs a huge swathe of the systemd developers. It not be surprising at all to see it finally integrated in. If anything, it is surprising it took this long - systemd service files were designed to be significantly easier for service maintainers.
The precise platforms are: x86_64, ppc64 (big endian) & s390x.

I think what is more interesting are the platforms that are not in that list. Internally we build for 32 bit i686, ppc (32 bit) and s390, but AFAIK we don't release those. We also don't build for ARM 32 bit (but aarch64 will be in future[1]).

Of course this is a lot less than Debian, but we have to carefully choose what we are able to support for customers. This is not a throw-it-at-the-wall approach.

1. Names should be optional - as in, you can name a snippet, but not all snippets need to have a name.

2. Having a different shortcut key for every snippet would probably become unwieldy quite quickly.

Your idea about having a shortcut to popup a window is quite neat - I'd definitely want to have shortcut windows to navigate through and paste the snippets. The problem I see with this is, it breaks up your workflow, and it won't feel instant.

One way I've seen others do it is your (c) - for example, in Dash, each snippet has an abbreviation. If you type that abbreviation in, then press the backtick (`), it will auto-expand it to the snippet.

One thing I noticed about Dash is, sometimes it can seem a bit slow to delete your existing abbreviation, and replace it with the snippet - the author mentioned this is something to do with non-accessibility aps on OSX. (In this case, it was the Chrome Browser). I'm not sure if there's a way around it.

Can you think of any other ways of selecting/pasting a snippet?

You are probably one of the few. But I wouldn't buy too much into the argument that their rates have to go up. Internet speeds are higher and congestion are lower in many other countries where their rates are cheaper. I think there is one reason and one reason alone for this.

I used to commute from the Red line to the Blue line. In the mornings when I was in a hurry I would take the Green from Park to the now-closed Government Center and then pick up the Blue, but in the afternoons I would get out at State and walk to either Park or Downtown Crossing. As you say, it's only a few minutes' walk, and very pleasant to be in the heart of the city. Every so often in the morning the Green line was even delayed enough that it would have been faster to walk instead.
