A tribute to friend who decide EUTHANASIA
My friend Lucas decided to have euthanasia after suffering long time from cancer. He never tell anyone about his plan. Not long ago we made farewell party for his leaving to Holland and I never expect that is my last time to see him forever. I was shock and sad to get the news and cannot say any word. I remember when I left early before the party over I just think that I will visit him when I will go to Holland. I know I cannot back to that time again. This song is a farewell from deep of my heart.
Here is the lyrics:
Good Bye My Friend<p>I can see from your eyes
There is a big secret
Deep inside your heart
Before you leave this place
Something unspeakable
That you will not let us know
This burden is too heavy
This burden must lift up
From your shoulder
From your shoulder
Good bye my friend
Good bye my friend
You don't need to feel that pain anymore
Good bye my friend
Good bye my friend

I meant precisely that. I believe it has to do with difficulties synchronizing the X Server with the compositor. Wayland eliminates this by making the compositor the server.

Nothing in my comment was sarcasm...
Thanks for the mention (CEO here).

We're super happy with Dart & really excited about polymer.
Love the language & platform in general.

We'll put out some essays, code snippets & lessons learned in the next few days :)

Stay tuned.
Thanks for coming to answer questions. How this 1.5 release is related with the work in progress in the Ecma TC52 for Dart Standardization?
I had the similar feeling.
just like Final Cut Pro X, right?

(can't tell if you're sarcastic, thought maybe not)
This is the number one response we're seeing, and it makes sense; we (the founders) follow this stuff all day every day, but it's really difficult to catch up, even though all that would be required is a couple of sentences. Trying to figure out the best way to do that without taking over editorially now.
> You don't own yourself. Everything you do is an interaction with the world (including your own body and mind), which belongs to everyone equally.

This is an extreme view. How can we even begin to talk about desires and rights under this assumption? If I don't own myself, how can I own anything? We have to throw out the idea of property, the concept of theft and so on. Is murder even wrong in this context?

> The most boring concept in technology, Net Neutrality, is commonly
> seen as the most dangerous.

I wish we could stop saying this. Net neutrality is a very complicated policy issue without an easy answer that is acceptable to all parties involved. How is that boring? I do not thing that introducing something as boring is a good way to engage and educate the demos. Certainly there is a better way to draw attention to an issue that a lot of people are not aware of. More importantly how is something boring AND "the most dangerous"? Dangerous things are not boring; they are scary and by definition have profound implications.
Gnome 2.32 was released in September 2010. Gnome 3.8 was released in March 2013. That's 3 years that a decent Gnome 2 replacement didn't exist. You don't have to drop 2.x support during development on 3.x.

Five Techniques To Help You Think More Deeply
If you know that p is not NULL then why are you checking for it? Either way, something is wrong here. Either you made a mistake with where you check for NULL, or you are performing extraneous operations for no reason.
How is this score calculated? Would it look anything remotely like a chart of growth in total valuation of the portfolio? Without knowing more about the metrics, this chart is meaningless. In particulary, if we have a dozen different growth scores, which are all being weighted equally, averaged across all the companies in a portfolio regardless of current size or current valuation of VC stakes, these scores are almost absolutely meaningless.
>As things currently stand, Dart compiles to JavaScript, which is exactly the right way to do it

That was never going to change. The idea, as far as I understand it, is for Dart to be executed natively where there is a Dart VM. Where there isn't, the dart2js output would be executed. The DOM itself would be unchanged. I think that's reasonable. In fact, more than reasonable, that's just a good idea.
Those things don't require distributed source control; they simply require remote access. Substantiation simply isn't necessary, you haven't given scenarios that demand distribution and you can't, because honestly there aren't any. Distributed source control is a preference, a style, not a necessity. Central repositories with remote access handle all of those use cases. Other than perhaps the Linux kernel, there's very little software that can't be written just fine with remote works and centralized repositories.
Is there any chance there will be more support for Dart on Android?[1]

First ask yourself if you really are making money. Does the amount of money you will bring in equate to market rate salaries for you and your co-founders 12 months from now? With some money left over for growth?

If the answer is yes then it sounds like you have a business on your hands. Create a cash flow plan. It should show how much you'll be bringing in and how much you'll be spending on a month by month basis. Do it 18 months out. Make it as close to reality as possible.

Then try really really hard to make it work without raising money. If that means you grow a little slower, that's OK. If it means you have to be a bit more frugal, that's OK because that's the cost of your own company's stock. (The alternative being, you sell that stock and get money to grow the business, so you lose that chunk of ownership).

Assign someone as your CFO. They're the cash-flow tzar. Anytime someone wants to spend, they have to go through that guy. The tzar should also have a talent of finding new pockets of money even when it seems that you're about to run out.

Just because you're going to get a TON of offers from investors doesn't mean you should raise money. I'm sure you get a lot of offers from credit card companies too.

Once you raise, your definition of success is no longer 1 million bucks a year in revenue and $300,000 a year salaries for you and your two buddies (which would be awesome right????!). Instead you're going to have limits on how much you can pay yourself, who gets to be boss and how much of a boss you get to be, and your definition of success becomes $10 million a year in revenue instead or you raise again and again and then you have to IPO.

>just said what everyone was already aware of

What you mean is it just said what you were already aware of.

Not everyone does know all of these things, a list of things with generalised statements along with links to more detailed information is incredibly useful to someone who is just getting into the field, which I guess is exactly who this article is aimed at.
I disagree. Right now it doesn't seem like a lot of things aren't possible in swift unless there is a LOT of undocumented API.

Dynamic method compilation that you would need to make an equivalent of DynamicProxy just doesn't seem possible. What's funny is that the #1 thing I would state is not possible in Swift is Core Data.
LOL. Which is one of the huge benefits of Django, IMHO. You can slam the speed of template rendering and the ORM all you want, but in the Django tutorial the first thing you do is use the framework to model data and display it to a user.

The Pyramid tutorial has you sending responses to the browser, which is so low-level I would hope the framework is more flexible than Django.

EDIT: While I'm responding, I'll also note that if you're running into speed issues with your templating language, you've waited too long to setup a decent caching layer. (Hello, Varnish)
Haha don't worry about the harshness--comments like yours are why I posted here.

The point I wanted to make with needing to hire people is that it becomes more cost-effective to have one "listings manager" maintaining 35 schools (we've budgeted for four "listings managers" total, once we're fully operational at the 150 campuses--the job mostly a lot of calling), and one sales person handling multiple schools, etc. The more schools we've onboarded, the more effective our HR spending is going to be.

We've calculated revenue per campus as well as cost per school/cost per student/revenue per student and all that, it's just not something we're really comfortable discussing publicly (if you want, feel free to shoot me an email at sean-at-universityniche.com).

100% true. I'm going to piss many off by this statement I'm sure... but if you are a web developer Xamarin offers no advantages against PhoneGap/Cordova I don't know anyone that is "just a C# developer" and hasn't done any web development, maybe Xamarin makes sense for those.

Take a look at Ionic Framework if you think PhoneGap/Cordova can't provide a native look and feel.
> (~40% w/w growth, 100%+ m/m growth)

You should fix this enormous mathematical inconsistency, or everything else you claim is suspicious.
I forgot to add this to anyone who disagrees with this comment. Take a look at Ionic Framework if you think PhoneGap/Cordova can't provide a native look and feel.

Bootstrapped = your profits are able to grow as your company grows. It sounds like you have an expensive hobby at the moment. Either scale back your operations so you're profitable or grow your numbers.
I'd start with Django's own tutorials and docs. Then check out Two Scoops of Django for 1.6 (Two Scoops Press) followed by Pro Django (Apress).

if you take time to really look into it, it's pretty modular...
I have done a lot amount of development in MonoTouch / MonoDroid (full time for about 2.5 years now). I started using them back when they were beta, and I would wager we have one of the larger apps written in Xamarin (about 250kloc).

First of all, it's tricky. It took our team a long time to get the rhythm of simultaneous Android/iOS development. For a long time every single push broke something.

Some annoyances:

Visual studio project files don't merge. You need a special xml aware merge tool to do this. Even then, its a pain in the ass.

It can be very tricky to abstract the differences between Droid and iOS if you're interacting with the OS a lot.

Some things to know:

Just because you're in C# land, doesn't mean your API is. You're going to spend a lot of time implementing stuff in C# that feels wrong because your API is ObjC/Java.

Sometimes there isn't a good mapping between NS data types between the APIs.

You're going to spend a LOT of time in the iOS / Droid docs, so you'd better be comfortable with ObjC / Java.

Overall I'm happy with the experience.
When you use apeture, you realize it's a branch of iPhoto anyway. They use similar library formats / directory structure and probably shared a lot of code. Many people have DSLRs now a days, so raw management should be a given.

Man, this just sucks. iPhoto (okay, they're killing that too, but "Photos" will be similar if not more limited) is weak, and Lightroom feels like a bad Java app. Aperture was fantastic, a true Mac app.
Dart's been very stable for a while now, and has a really good library ecosystem already.

Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about JavaScript frameworks evolving rapidly, just go with anything the supports Web Components. In JavaScript that would be Polymer, X-Tags or Bosonic. In Dart that's Polymer. Or, in either you can write directly to the platform APIs without a library.

In my mind there is BWC and AWC: Before Web Components and After Web Components. The world or web apps is undergoing a paradigm shift on par with AJAX right now, and I wouldn't use any framework that doesn't support Web Components.
This project is pretty great for using Flask on App Engine: https://github.com/gae-init/gae-init - I've been using it for a while now, and it's been smooth sailing. Also, it's actively maintained and continually improving.
That's really a function of your QA process, not anything specific to branching strategies. If you can automate everything such that continuous delivery (or even deployment) is possible - great. If not, deliver at whatever pace your QA allows (and strive to increase that pace). Trunk based development does not imply a diminished QA process.

Yes, there is always going to be a feedback delay between you making a change and the full impact of that change being known (even if your feature is bug free, will the customer want to use it?), but we should be bringing that feedback forward by moving changes through the pipeline as early as possible. Feature branching delays feedback, which is why I reject it.
It's obvious that weather is a huge factor and if you think this is just a "shoulda-woulda-coulda game", then maybe you need to take a step back and admit you have no domain knowledge?

Also, if you're doing statistical analyses of your own, hopefully this isn't how you react to domain experts giving you advice on factors you should consider. If you react the way you just did, it's quite likely people will just shut up and you'll be left floundering the darkness.
@danielweber: I think it's very easy to misconstrue what I'm saying for "I regret getting caught". My point is that I knew how to hide, but didn't, so anyone who calls me stupid for not doing so is correct. Poor risk management.
I like the idea of your project, but it seems like the algorithmic database version of wikipedia that you plan to profiteer off of?

Words like marketplace, crowdsourced, and open platform played well in 2005 but now they kinda smell like a scam.
Harlem Teen Raises 30k to Start a Business the World Has Never Seen
Too late to edit now, but also I would not be suprised if the javascript they use records the url that is visited and reports that back as well.
OP also posted "as our very limited personal savings start to decline. Yeah, it's cool to have some money in the bank after doing these advertising deals, but it's not nearly enough that it's sustainable right away."

It sounds like they have revenue, but they do not have profit.
It's funny because author at the conclusions basically says that it is useful and people should use it hence the answer to question "Is TDD Dead?" is No.
I'm not sure your upside is very big. you might what to think about where you go from there. 150 universities. real busy once a year when everyone is looking for housing but not much most of the year. how big were you advertising deals? have you had anyone re order adverting? Any business owner is willing to give a couple kids just to starting out $200. Most investor would want this to be at least $10M business. 60k per year per university. 5k mo per univeristy. Not trying to be negative but, I would hate for you to chase a bad path when you can focus on what could work. if someone has better incite let me know? Also, maybe you want to talk to the group doing rent a sales force. saw it a couple of days ago on here.

I'm pretty sure that's tape, not HDD.
I wasn't being sarcastic, but with FCP's history I can see the skepticism.

I do think/hope it will be different. I feel like there are more signs pointing to "Photos" app as being superior to Aperture/iPhoto (which, yes, are totally the same thing really now) and Lightroom.
This article contains a very impressive amount of evidence that the authors have no idea what they're saying.
Every benefit you just mentioned PhoneGap/Cordova has... and it's free...
Scala has dropped Android support and I doubt others are gonna try and maintain it as new JVM instructions come out that we all want to take advantage of but Android will not support.
It make sense bur requires a lot of 3rd party devices to support those ”iWatches”. And in general it's not about personal smart watches but about smart houses. And this is a huge (potential) market with major player like google interested in.

So if author is right, a new marketing war is coming.
Nope, that's just treating a symptom; they'd just immediately break the market again and that's putting aside the point that they own your politicians and simply wouldn't allow you to fix it. Until you deal with severe wealth accumulation, nothing else matters and yes it is actionable. The French lopped off a few heads, it worked.
Yup. At Sendbloom.co we have used Dart to build a tool that is used by sales people to send out email campaigns. The tool is inspired by quartz composer/Max MSP's interaction paradigms (drag-and-drop visual programming).
As someone else mentioned, Dart code can be fairly verbose, but it is very readable and programming with it is a joy when compared to writing vanilla javascript/jquery.
I'd be happy to answer if you have any other questions about Dart.

Citation needed. I can accept "influenced by" or even "heavily influenced by" without too much argument, but "primarily dictated by" is an extraordinary claim, requiring extraordinary proof.
Dart is not meant to enable building "hello world" apps though.
Taking a cynical view of the paradox, saying that not having already detected ET means that ET couldn't exists, opens a new paradox. What if every intelligent civilization looked at the same problem and reached the cynical point of view: why bother looking?

And what's to say we're not aliens ourselves? That Prometheus movie hinted at the possibility, so did Star Trek. Both point to an original creator that uses simple biology and knowledge of evolution to seed planets with life and let it grow. Modern astrobiology, as documented in the recent Cosmos reboot, thinks that life has already been traversing the galaxy on space rocks; crashing into planets in an ice ball and taking hold where it can. While not intelligent by human standards, it still spreads ET life. With the time scales involved, it seems like space rocks with simple life on them might be spreading ET fairly evenly through our galaxy and beyond.

As smart as we are, we have only recently been able to hurtle some space junk out of our solar system and into deep space. The distances involved and the limitations of our current understanding of physics make it seem likely that we wouldn't be in direct contact already. It's taken 2 generations for Voyager 1 to travel that far.

Using ourselves as the perfect example, our own broadcasts haven't reached very far into our own galaxy. If we are typical and our understanding of physics is reasonably accurate, there could be numerous human-like civilizations broadcasting and sending out probes constantly and we just haven't waited long enough -- the distances are too vast for us to have heard them. Or worse, we're not intelligent enough yet to listen to the broadcasts that are being sent to us already.

I say we build these magical self-replicating probes and send them out and hope we don't accidentally create the Borg. The only way to beat the paradox is to play along. And if we don't find anything, then we'd better get to colonizing!
I really wish the Pixelmator guys will do a product in this category. They've already got the core engine, and they have a perfect 100% intersection with the Aperture userbase (Mac-only).

I for one would like to see a OSX-only photo editing suite. If it's anything like Pixelmator (no UI/UX compromises for the sake of cross-platform, insanely fast hardware-accelerated-everything) it'd be a real treat.
Planning to build NodeJS like env in Dart?

I'd like to Dart to happen. What worries my is that Dart has Java EE mentality. Hipster programmers won't touch it and lack of traction may kill the project. What's the solution? Performance may be a great USP. Rewrite Gmail in Dart, so tools like Streak, Rapportive and other extensions won't kill the performance.
An added benefit :-)

Seriously: observation on my daily commute suggests that actually making phone calls is a minority use of the mobiles that people spend all the journey stroking and looking at.

Indeed. IOPS has been the achilles head of magnetic disks for time eternal.

But ultimately calling these "myths" is somewhat absurd. Everything is relative. Relative to a magnetic hard drive, main memory offers impossibly fast random access. Sure, it's slow compared to cache memory, but that is a different discussion, and a different level of optimization. Similarly, when your SSD offers you 10s to 100s of thousands of random seeks per second, it is a universe better than the 10s to low 100 of a magnetic disk.
Usually this sort of thing comes up in code that's the result of several rounds of function inlining. Nobody would write that kind of code by hand, but it arises from the indirect results of several chains of function calls. In this regard, it's a very important optimization to be able to perform.

Kent Dybvig's classic response to "Who writes that kind of code?" is "Macros do." Inlining has much the same effect as macros.
