I guess you haven't heard:

"The Five Eyes are cooperating with various 3rd Party countries in at least two groups:
The "Nine Eyes", consisting of the Five Eyes plus Denmark, France, the Netherlands and Norway.
The "Fourteen Eyes", consisting of the same countries as the Nine Eyes plus Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Sweden.[41] The actual name of this group is SIGINT Seniors Europe (SSEUR) and its purpose is coordinating the exchange of military signals intelligence among its members.[42]

Germany is reportedly interested in moving closer to the inner circle: an internal GCHQ document from 2009 said that the “Germans were a little grumpy at not being invited to join the 9-Eyes group." Germany may even wish to join Five Eyes.[43] Referring to Five Eyes, French President François Hollande has said that his country is "not within that framework and we don't intend to join."[44] According to a former top U.S. official, "Germany joining would be a possibility, but not France – France itself spies on the US far too aggressively for that."

I've also updated the post to reflect this: I don't mind paying. Its the policy of not leaving me a choice to do so by not allowing me to export my data and go elsewhere that bothers me.

PetFlow was the #1 most engaging brand on across social media before these viral linkbait social sites popped up with genuine and relevant content: http://www.insidefacebook.com/2012/06/26/petflow-walmart-con....

After the rise of these viral linkbait sites, Petflow started emulating the model to keep up. I'm sure this has helped them continue to grow and keep up with these rising competitors like Buzzfeed and Viral Nova, but I personally feel like it's hurting their brand.

So Alex and Joe (founders of Petflow), if you're listening, stop the bullshit and go back what you were doing. These viral linkbait sites are a fad and will eventually go away or get banned. I don't want you guys to go down the same road.
As a developer of Ramda, I can tell you that this will probably be a long wait! That's not the sort of library this is. It's not trying to be a Javascript answer to Django; Javascript already has Angular, Backbone, Knockout, Ember, and many others.

Ramda is a utility library aimed at helping you use a particular style of coding (the composition of short readable functions) against consistent data structures (arrays of JS objects are perfect, although there are others that you could use.)
I've already resolved to cancel my Prime subscription, and this reveal just confirms my decision. I was happy with getting free 2-day shipping for $40 (or even $80) a year. I'm not happy paying $100 for a less robust "2-day shipping" service, a crappy VOD service, and a music streaming service with none of the music I listen to.

I've been working with Ember over the past few months and am still impressed with how simple and productive it makes every day tasks. Basic CRUD stuff, especially render code, is a lot less drudge work. I'm even more excited for where the community is leading the framework, through projects like ember-cli and htmlbars.

Ember is conceptually pretty massive though. A tutorial like Michael Hartl's Rails tutorial would be a huge benefit, it looks like that's what this is aiming for. Thanks!

I think this article badly misunderstands the whole point behind Turing's test: that we don't have a definition of intelligence. We just have a model: us. Lacking a definition, coming up with measures is foolhardy, and yet here we are with an article attempting exactly that.

> Machine learning researcher Hector Levesque of the University of Toronto proposes that resolving such ambiguous sentences, called Winograd schema, is a behavior worthy of the name intelligence.

> Humans are also exceptionally good at recognizing faces.

> We could further ask for the computer to interpret audio-visual phenomena and then reason about them.

These qualities are neither sufficient nor necessary conditions of intelligence. Would Hellen Keller pass the last two? Computers are getting very good, very quickly, at facial recognition. Once a computer beats people at this task, would it be intelligent?

What Turing was getting at was to devise a test which didn't measure anything: it merely exploited the fact that we just have a model. Until we face that, such "revisions" are absurd.
I agree. The post title is very unfortunately worded. There's nothing shady about bit.ly adhering to, and expecting the OP to adhere to, their clearly-stated business policies.

The idea that Flask is only good for small apps is naive. Plenty of folks have built large, successful, production level Flask apps. All Flask does is act as the glue between Werkzeug and Jinja2 and give you some nice patterns like the app and request contexts. If you're a decent Python developer you're going to end up writing something very similar if you just start with Werkzeug.
Rust shouldn't be a performance problem. The language semantics allow for all the things that make C fast, as well as doing a better job at aliasing.

Idiomatic Rust will drop a little bit, to the level of idiomatic C++, but there's nothing stopping you from optimizing that to C levels in exactly the same way when necessary.

I wouldn't mind seeing stronger trade relationship between EU and Brazil/South America, too. Hopefully this is the beginning of a great relationship, both united against abuses of countries like US, Russia or China.
Did you read the article? There is no irony here, she immediately points out her lack of understanding of fundamental accessibility principles. That is why she wrote about how we as an industry allow that to happen (senior engineers who know nothing about catering to disability).
Brazil is not a major power.
I think the question is flawed.

1) We don't cater to IE9, which is at 5.11% according to stat counter. IE9 is a bad choice point for this - it's the first IE that had auto-update. Everyone left. We're catering to IE8+; 8 is currently at 6.5%.

2) You don't count the version; you count the version and all its successors. That is, we're not catering to 8, we're catering to 8+. 8+ is at almost 35% and is still the dominant aggregate browser.

3) Where does 14% come from? This says 6.8%, or roughly half what's claimed, in the same neighborhood as the browsers mentioned: http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/1417-Accessibilit....

4) You can't cater to disabled users. They're not one thing. What you do for the colorblind isn't the same as what you do for the blind, which isn't the same as what you do for people who have specialty control systems, which isn't the same as what you do for micro-screens, which isn't the same as what you do for people who have motor control circumstances, et cetera.

5) The web solution for this is WAI-Aria, which began in mid-2012, and became a candidate recommendation three months ago.

6) Microsoft has been requiring WAI-Aria for store apps since late 2012.

7) Most people have never heard of WAI-Aria.

8) As far as I know, no single group of disabled users reaches 1% of the userbase.

9) Supporting old browsers is way, way easier than supporting disabled users. Old browsers mean installing a shim and fighting a couple bugs, and that level of effort leaves people writing angry blog posts for five years. Supporting disabled users means learning how (there's basically no tutorials, but ample angry blog posts with bad statistics) then finding someone who has the equipment to test it on, then learning that you have to re-order everything on the entire site because the reader software can't be told that the source order isn't the reading order, then adding several properties to every single tag on every single page, then having no way to audit.

10) Many of us /do/ cater to the disabled. Your site has no aria markup at all, is peppered with empty iframes (which will wreak havoc on older readers,) and is covered in images that have no reader equivalents. You are actually substantially less disability friendly than the average webpage.

11) Even people with full sight find a font and color scheme like that very difficult to read.

12) In short, because like you, most small web authors are more comfortable writing about the problem than being part of the solution.
There was a great TED talk about how cities which are well designed for the disabled (in the case of this talk, the blind) are well designed for all. http://www.ted.com/talks/chris_downey_design_with_the_blind_... Definitely a great concept to keep in mind.

Most of these tools are small enough and simple enough that they sort of "get finished." Probably not interesting but to some purists.

There is something to be said for the nice clean implementations of some of these tools. There is a little to be said for the language itself.

Really, something bigger and better is needed. A new HTTP server, a new sendmail or something, a new DNS server. I'd love to see Go or Rust take on Bind and produce a safe, secure, high performance implementation. The Ada guys never stepped up and produced anything interesting to show their tools' superiority, there is a lot more interest and community in Rust and Go. What's the leakiest, buggiest part of the equation right now? Go make a better one.

I'll tell you what's shady, using a non-commercial service heavily for commercial gain and then expected them to roll-over and help you bugger off else where.
How would they realistically "allow" you to export your data?

Would it require extra programmer effort and cost to develop such export functionality? If they didn't invest the money to build that capability, why would they want to? What's the ROI for them to do it?

It took several years for GMail to have mailbox export capabilities. Some team somewhere has to write and test all that code.
You have already used paid-tier resources, and they are simply asking you to reimburse them for that.
And that is why you vet free services extensively. There's a reason they're free. Often times lock in is the way they do things.

Sure it sounds unfair when you say "they won't let ME export MY data", but it sounds different when you say "we'll provide a FREE service for you, up to a point, but when it gets reasonably large or commercial you promise to give us your business."

There is no such thing as a free lunch.
So here's the deal. Obj C will be around for awhile. I think that's pretty clear, but given that you know nothing, and Swift just came out and will more then likely be the way of the future, why NOT take advantage and start with Swift. That's just how I see it anyways.
The web started as a distributed system. It is turning these industries into distributed systems (A car from a person with time and a car at a time when a consumer needs a car as opposed to strict 8 hour shifts. A bed from a person with a bed when a consumer needs a bed as opposed to a centralized location with many beds). It will be interesting if we see these newly distributed systems consolidate in the future. And I wouldn't be surprised to see realtors with house hotels rented through air BnB. And I've noticed there are already plenty of people with cars looking for uber drivers.

I think it is a direct consequence. When people can so easily access and post information regarding availability of luxuries and commodities it relieves the need for centralization. The question should be, what's the cost? Do I go to the hotel which will be able to put me in another room when there are problems? Or go for the quaint feeling of a person's home. Homes are generally in residential areas, but if I'm touring I might want the luxury of staying in downtown. Hopefully these two industries can live side by side to provide the greatest good for the greatest number of consumers.

(This doesn't even include the possible costs in terms of flimsy insurance guidelines for Uber drivers in some municipalities or locales, or property value depreciation for neighborhoods that become AirBnB traps with many units being turned essentially into mini hotels.)

The valuations are insane, so it looks like these companies are here to stay. It will be interesting to watch.

The site could be faking the chrome so it looks like a separate pop-up, when it's actually just a div. Most of us would smell something wrong because it wouldn't be quite right but you could get reasonably close for non-developers.

I'd think this could be prevented by a) stop giving out order numbers via chat and b) require customers to request replacements (or at least confirm them as you've suggested) by logging into their account.

I see two distinct use cases. One is "these are things I like, show me ways to combine them" and the other is "This is a list of stuff I happen to have in the kitchen, what can I make". Ask the user which of the two they are trying to do and the AND/OR question basically answers itself.

>Easily create new RESTful API resources by just creating folders and naming functions a certain way.

I don't like that. Memorizing new naming conventions that affect functionality makes things harder instead of easier in my experience. Sure, you can create a cool demo effect by showing how "easy" and "quick" it's to create certain stuff. Once your application scales, things become more chaotic though, and maybe the convention starts to hit limitations. In addition, it becomes more difficult to learn the code base when you have these naming conventions that create functionality all over the place.

Not just that but it's abusing statistics.

StatCounter attempts to measure browsing volume, not people using a particular browser.

Net Applications attempts to measure people using a browser, so IE9's reported share is three times higher, around 9%.

As an analogy, take the toothpaste market with only two players. Lets say 30% of people use Colgate and 70% use Crest. But for some reason the first group uses more toothpaste, so 60% of toothpaste sold in the market is Colgate and 40% is Crest.

Now, which one has a higher "marketshare"? Crest or Colgate?

It's funny how everyone gets so confused about this.

Anyway, Net Applications is the more apt comparison here because she's attempting to compare people having a disability, not the amount of browsing done by such people.
