> but why would my children have to pay 85% on things that I want to leave them?? It's idiotic.

No, it's not idiotic. It's income to them they receive without working, it should be taxed higher because those who work for their money should not be taxed higher than those who simply have it given to them.

> I worked hard to earn those things,why would the government want 85% of their value??

Yes, and that's yours, not your children's. The only person you can give large sums of money to tax free is your spouse; to everyone else, that's new income and it should be taxed, and large sums should be taxed heavily because inherited wealth is anathema to democracy.

You can't have a functioning democracy and allow capital accumulation to the elite in such large sums that their children become kings with the power to buy politicians and affect law without having the benefit of having worked for that money and really understanding what it means to not be wealthy.

> On what basis and logical reason? To make my children "less lazy" by doing so??

No, to stop them from destroying society.

> They can mind their own children - I will mind mine.

You live in a community and it's not all about you and yours; try not thinking about yourself so much and look at the bigger picture. Inherited wealth is bad for society, earned wealth is good for society. You earned your money, keep it; your children should earn their own on their own.
I'm building a react/flux application and I've really been looking for something like this to enforce types, generate derived properties, and so on. Many encourage sending raw data through props to your individual components but I find that there is some duplication of code and not a lot of security in your data when playing this fast&loose with it.

This is exactly the project I needed; I will very soon be integrating Ampersand Collections & State into my app. Thanks for this!

That's partly because of how the revocation infrastructure operates. It definitely adds cost, including generating CRL, trimming the CRL as certificates expire (could be 10 years into the future), and running the revocation server itself.
> Though I'm not sure how they would enforce this.

Revoke the certificate.
I program all day long and I spend about half my day at a walking desk like this one.

I was distracted by the bobbing up and down for the first day. It was a little less distracting by the second day. And by the third day I didn't even notice it. I was able to get in my regular programming zone with ease.

In fact, I find that walking can often get me focused faster.

But, I am somewhat of a kinesthetic learner. Motion helps me think. So your mileage may vary.
I hate posts that don't show code.

I've seen a couple of mentions of graph dbs on GPUs in this thread, and it does seem like a (somewhat) obvious fit. Anyone aware of any projects that make (good) use of that right now? Not necessarily a stand-alone service, but also things like an embedded graph db ("berkley db for graphs") or something like that?

>>when a child could inherit enough to get a better life without working than someone working his whole life

Why not? If I, as a parent, worked hard enough to make life easy for my child, who are you to tell me that I can't do it?(I mean in general, don't take this personally)
I have paid tax on everything that I made, bought, or built - why would they pay tax on the same things again??

Following your argument, we should stop giving our children absolutely anything - you could argue that someone's child should not be given a phone or a car,because it's unfair towards someone else who had to work for it,right? But then why do you care - I worked hard to buy those things to give to my children. Anything else is irrelevant.

I can give you another example which makes me hate inheritance tax with passion - I know a family, which had a house which was owned by them for centuries. And then, when the parents died,they didn't have a lot of money, so the only thing left was that house. HMRC enters the scene -> children have to pay inheritance tax on the house. There is no money left,so they have to sell their family house, purely because people think it would be "unfair" for them to keep it. Absolute BS if you ask me.
If cURL options are a problem, why not use a nice HTTP client like Guzzle that is built on top of cURL extensions?

> No, you are getting a file. It's from a remote location, but it's a file nonetheless. Are ftp:// resources not files? Are ssh:// resources not files?

FTP of course it's a file, it's a FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL. HTTP is HYPERTEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL. You're getting Hypertext. SSH:// are not files. You are getting the contents of a stream. So you're getting the stream content.

> Does it? Stream context options give you a degree of control. If file_get_contents isn't quite right for you, there's also fopen.

To be fair I've not looked into all the options for the streams in http. But does it give you the option to use global dns cache? How about save the cookies and reuse them for later requests? Will it deal with gzip for me? If you can do all the stuff curl can do I'll be all fair enough you've got a point.

> Where's the hacky stuff?

For me the fact I had to define the header.

> It's also shorter and more readable than the equivalent in cURL

It's not more readable. It says it's getting a file, you lied to me and got stream contents instead.

> and you don't even need to install an extension!

If you really don't want to install extensions and just use the core language fair enough, I would rather use the best tools available.

Lately I've noticed 90% of my captcha's being a single number. That is it. A number like "1057" with nothing else. what do they honestly expect me to do with this?

Basically I have to fill in the number and then guess whether it was the first or second set of characters and fill out bogus before or after the number and hope I got it right. The numbers weren't even hard for a computer to read. The only thing it does is waste everyones' time.

Your landing page should contain what your users want to see, not what you want to put there. You might be excited about the motivation behind your project but nobody cares, really.

I clicked on the link and I spent ten minutes reading a wall of text hoping to find good reasons why I should switch from Angular, Backbone or Ember. Instead, I just closed the window without knowing anything about your framework.

I hate to say it, but there is a nugget of truth to this; the post is a giant wall of text when there should really be a summary of what the project is first, with the 'why' second.

Ive done a fair bit of electronic design over the years (professionally). The classic parts are still going strong. There are even single gate devices now in SMD packages!

Outside the world of computing and mainstream consumer tech I expect to see our friendly TTL devices and op amps etc and even discrete transistors live another 500 years or so. Some problems are quite cheap and simple to solve with them and they're well understood.

Well, there's one of the big problems; param ordering isn't ideal. Believe me, you are preaching to the choir. I had a long argument with the people who maintain our JS library about the merits of adding reverse and curry function so that I could write something like the following:

pluck = curry(reverse(object.get));
var names = people.map(pluck('name'));

...but they weren't having it. :-) As much as I like writing Haskell (and believe me, I do) JS can't do it without heavy library support. You may be better off writing LiveScript or Fey at that point.
Every other nation on the planet accepts being second (or third...or 197th) best at that, and very few of those seem to see it as a particular problem.

The trick to appearing awesome is to surround yourself with people doing awesome things, and then figure out how to synthesize their ideas into something new and (hopefully) transformative.

Yeah, I agree Linus takes things too far at times. My response was mostly because the author's "this is the way Linus would have done it" stuff.

f I, as a parent, worked hard enough to make life easy for my child, who are you to tell me that I can't do it?

The point is to increase your children's (that is, everyone's) reliance on the government, of course. The ideal for statists would be to remove parents from the equation completely. You've read Brave New World, right?
>>It's income to them they receive without working, it should be taxed higher because those who work for their money should not be taxed higher than those who simply have it given to them.

This literally does not make any sense. I paid tax on all those things. My children are using the benefits of my work, that is correct - but I paid my duties for the money I made.

>> without having the benefit of having worked for that money and really understanding what it means to not be wealthy.

So why don't we send everyone for a mandatory work in orphanages or homeless shelters for a couple months,if its about teaching people a lesson? Since when is it the governments job to make people " understand what it means to not be wealthy."?

>>inherited wealth is anathema to democracy.

So why don't we ban it altogether? Once you hit 18 years of age, you are given a government-built apartament, $1000 pocket money, and off you go, enjoy democracy. Meanwhile, if you die, all your possessions can go to the government who will make sure that your wealth is redistributed to the greatest benefit of the society. Sounds like the right kind of democracy to me.

After I had a bad concussion, one of the biggest things that helped -- with a multitude of post concussion syndrome symptoms, not just vision/movement -- was vestibular therapy. It consisted of things like having the word "dog" on a sheet of paper on a wall and keeping my eyes focused on it while turning my head left and right to a metronome. Once I got better at that, we'd either increase the speed or add "distractions" like having "dog" written on black and white checkered boxes.

But more related to what you're saying, there are actually therapy systems that use multiple displays to simulate things like walking through a grocery store. Some people after a concussion can't even go through a grocery store because all the stimulus of different boxes plus movement overwhelms them. An even simpler thing I did was simply to watch youtube videos of people walking through areas with a shaky camera or a dashboard camera from a car driving at night (dealing with other cars' lights). So if those 2d versions are effective, perhaps VR can also help.
> I imagine much Toronto talents gets sucked down to Kitchener-Waterloo.

I'm not sure about the actual numbers, I don't think movement is in any one direction where a reliable conclusion like that can be made. While a lot of talent is attracted and bred there, I'm not sure about the actual retention of talent. A bunch stay, but a lot leave for the US and there's an interesting dynamic between Waterloo and Toronto given that they're so close to each other.

>HTTP is HYPERTEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL. You're getting Hypertext.

The responses HTTP gives are very file-like. So much so HTTP is often used for distributing files. Indeed, most pages reference several files.

> But does it give you the option to use global dns cache?

I don't believe so. I don't think most users need to, however.

> How about save the cookies and reuse them for later requests?

I can't actually remember. Possibly.

> Will it deal with gzip for me?

Yes.

> If you can do all the stuff curl can do I'll be all fair enough you've got a point.

It can do most of the stuff cURL does. It doesn't do everything, but my point is most of the time you don't necessarily need cURL, and IMO this API is nicer.

> For me the fact I had to define the header.

That's not hacky at all; sending POST requests usually requires specifying a Content-Type. cURL just automatically does that for you in some cases.

> It's not more readable. It says it's getting a file, you lied to me and got stream contents instead.

You did get a file. The file the request returned.

> If you really don't want to install extensions and just use the core language fair enough, I would rather use the best tools available.

You might be missing my point.

Hey MadMoogle, thanks for nice words, I really appreciate this. Your mentioned table is targeted at a little bit different audience, as you already pointed out TableAir appeals more to users with good taste in aesthetics. Also another very important aspect of TableAir is that once paired with a smartphone true potential of TableAir is unveiled. One of the biggest obstacles when starting using standing table is what we call a hard switch. People start working standing 24/7 - sore legs and back are unavoidable. We believe it shouldn't be the case. The most sustainable way of changing work habits is to transform them step by step, so what the app does it suggests you when it's time to change a posture and little by little increases standing intervals until you reach your desired goal.

And as for pranksters it's prankster-proof :) the only way to connect to the table is via our app which utilizes secure bluetooth connection. Also every table has its own custom id and encrypted password, I mean everything is possible and with enough determination one can hack into most secure servers but I can honestly say that table is secure from domestic hacking.

And lastly about the lock of the height. The construction of our motors is made in such a way that once the desired height is reached it simply locks itself, meaning that if you wanna lower it again you have to use an app or the smart button - it's physically impossible to push it downwards, well unless you're hulk or something...

Anyway MadMoogle you touched some interesting points, thanks for checking out TableAir and you never know maybe one day we'll create something more suitable for you as well.
Does anybody have any experience with this and LightPaper[0]? I'm curious if I should switch. There's so many markdown editors out there. How can I know that I'm using the best one for me? (joking) Markdown editors feel like it should be the example for the paradox of choice.
