This seems interesting because it feels like I can gain more control over the desktop which previously I felt limited to by Bash or Python. Being a web dev I never wanted to get into Obj. C or Swift so this seems like it's opening some doors to a broader audience. It's funny they are showcasing Mail - does anyone actually use the desktop mail client? I thought that's been dead since 2003?

Can you leverage this API from within Node.js running on OSX ? Then we can start to see some cool, realtime desktop stuff.

EG:
How I think this could be used for a developer:

- Release unicorns if everything goes Green through Desktop notifications of some type

Awesome! I wonder if this could be used for end-to-end testing for iOS apps. For instance, automating turning on/off items within the Settings app.
Uh, no. Common Lisp is sensible. It's multi-implementation and several of the implementations are JVM levels of fast, while others are highly portable. There's a community, standards, and libraries. It's not where the froth of lisp experimentation is happening, but it's effective and a known quantity.

Having a brain that thinks "commercial OSS" is an oxymoron (and I can see it waving a red flag and building barricades in the back of my head) I would be interested in how people / market places are squaring that circle - could you point us at your investment?

Also are you saying that OSS projects that use a donation model do better than indie games (irrespective of the indie game model) or is it both doing donation models.

I speak as someone who wants to keep developing OSS but also likes getting paid.

Naturally there's already a npm module for interacting with it: https://github.com/brandonhorst/node-osa (note the git repo is at 0.1.0, a couple months newer than its published npmjs counterpart at 0.0.2).

Anyway, the author gives a nice, simple overview of limitations of this approach, as well as simple reasonable use cases for it.
I used a pretty specific category for picking images (old fashioned style with a particular place name mentioned) and... it actually seemed to figure that out. I was impressed.
In Haskell there are two varieties on this. "Apply" and "compose":

f (g (h x)) == f $ g $ h $ x
== f . g . h $ x
\x -> f (g (h x)) == f . g . h

The "compose" combinator, (.), is especially pertinent for making pipelines. Idiomatic Haskell code uses it constantly---especially for its natural mechanism of eliminating "points" like that `x` above. These are usually better described by their type than any variable name given (especially since the variable name cannot be machine checked for meaningfulness, unlike the type) and so are best eliminated.

In many libraries there is also a reverse apply function defined, often as &

f (g (h x)) == x & h & g & f
== x & f . g . h

which is more popular when using other operator chains to describe functions as in lens.
Very nice indeed, found something to hang in my living room ;)
Nothing to add more, I'm just impressed.
Apple has been testing sapphire. It has been in the cover for the camera since the iPhone 5 over two years ago. What is interesting is that they have gone back to glass for the lens cover in the new phones. My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5 shortly after purchase. After she dropped it on the floor (not especially hard) photos had these small, magenta flecks that no amount of cleaning could get rid of. Apple swapped it out no problem, but when I first heard that they moved back to glass for the new camera in the 6 series, I wondered if they decided that sapphire just wasn't going to work for this use case.

I suspect, they've learned quite a bit from the sapphire cover on the camera, hence their comfort in deploying it to the higher end watch models.
If i understand the article, this mainly applies to written dairies. Which made me wonder..

I am a programmer, so i type a lot. Mentally walking each hypothetical path that every involved actor (me, user, machine, chance) can take, and ultimately writing a solution that fits all storyboards.

I played Bioshock and never read Rand's work. It never occurred to me that I should learn something about Rands philosophy form Bioshock. Or that I should take Bioshock as accurate representation of Rand's Objectivism or any other philosophical movement for that matter.

I do not think the game is pretending it represents it.
> I feel like I'm in the minority but I think I'd prefer scheme to CL

Yeah, I don't get it either. Either is fine with me, though I prefer Scheme to elisp or common lisp. Scheme feels cleaner to me but I don't think I really care except that you need a good implementation of either.
I am not sure I see the brilliance in their actions. It's rather expected. Not only is what you described true, but government and finance are also the main two sectors that are most interested in violating and usurping through unfair advantage and full spectrum tracking and monitoring.

As far as verbose vs. concise (including the impact of type inference), I don't see Go as being much like a dynamically typed language. Sure, it is a bit lighter than Java, but for nontrivial code you still end up with plenty of type system related cruft -- a lot more than in Haskell, which is on of the few static languages which is anywhere close to dynamic languages in terms of being concise and having little of the empty type-related ritual that plagues most other static-typed languages.

Sometimes I feel "fit" is really important in hiring someone - other times I reckon it's a good excuse for my in built prejudices that I cannot be bothered to overcome.

That said, coinbase etc should be looking at the technology used - but we should not. In the same way we do not look at multi national banks by their tech stack but by their regulatory regiemes, their liability to asset ratio and so on

In other words, if bitcoin is going to take it's place amount the worlds currencies, it will be handled by things we think of as banks with asset backing and more. Probably gaming companies and telcos.

It's a bonus paid after spending n months in a warzone.

e.g. After 4 calendar months, $5000, after 8, $10,000.

Hazard pay is usually some percentage on top of base pay and if you're "lucky" and qualify for "living condition pay" it's another percentage on top of that. I have some associates here in the D.C. area that tell me at the height of the Iraq War they were pulling down ~$300k/yr all added up, on base salaries of $80-90k.
What you know or what is trending?
For work I've primarily been on a MS stack; I'm very comfortable there. However, I started on an idea I had in node and mongo. So far I've learned a lot, but it feels way to slow and I don't feel comfortable that if this thing blows up I'll be able to manage it. Granted, that would be a good problem to have, but I'm questioning my decision. So should I start fresh on a MS stack that I am comfortable with and can move very fast on, or should I stick with the trendy stack and continue to learn but move slow?

My favorite memory of RadioShack was the free flashlights. Every couple of weeks, there would be a coupon in the newspaper for a giant flashlight. They were wonderful. You could cast a beam at the top of a tree a block away. The only thing was - they took 5 or 6 D cell batteries to work, and you had to buy them.

You could call it brilliant marketing or a little douche-y. In either case, we had fun. Fond memories.

> I'm surprised you weren't aware of GMail rolling this feature out. It was big news at the time.

Honestly, I can't remember if I noticed when GMail rolled it out. Looking back on the press from the time, I imagine that if I thought anything it was "oh, you too" because I strongly remember Github rolling out a similar feature in 2010.

https://github.com/blog/743-sidejack-prevention-phase-3-ssl-...

And sure, its not exactly the same thing, but close enough that it might not have stood out to me.

Did others at FastMail notice? Maybe. I certainly don't have a record of a conversation about it, and the first discussion we had about implementing our own image proxy was in May, and Gmail was not mentioned until much later once we decided what we wanted to do and starting shopping around for an off-the-shelf package.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Or are these just observations?
Apple has its issues with scripting in its apps but other companies like Microsoft and Adobe have robust scripting support in their applications. Developers like me have created significant workflows using scripting that save my company money, time, and errors. Apps like iPhoto and iTunes are really small potatoes by comparison. Having Javascript with Cocoa for scripting is truly powerful stuff.
Oh, that's REALLY interesting!

I admit I was surprised that "Most (but not all) interesting numbers admit a polynomial-time algorithm to compute their digits." But this is a really good reason why computers would make a difference.

Thanks for sharing. The simulation theory is definitely plausible (as proposed by Bostrom). A few years ago I stared writing a mini story entitled "Turtles all the way down" about simulations within simulations. It was a fun thought experiment indeed.

Speaking of your tangent, the idea of there being at least one original or 'substate' universe seems to be a given by even the most exotic simulation theorists. I like your style ha.

You might appreciate the work by Thomas Campbell and his My Big Theory of Everything. I don't endorse everything he says, but his premise is that we're living in a simulation and that "It's just data". His book was an interesting read.

Everyone in retail is doing that - usually successfully, more or less. John Lewis, Debenhams, Sainsburys, Tesco, and ASDA all have pretty much the same click-and-collect or buy-and-deliver model.

A few - Maplin and maybe Argos - have a super-fast same-day delivery option, which is an interesting development. I'm guessing we'll see more of that in the future.

The big question now is - what is mall/high street retail for? It used to be the only way to buy, but when online is cheaper the rationale for spending metric crap tons of money on store rentals in prime locations is getting less and less obvious.

It's not just electronics. All retail is suffering.

There may be a niche for speedy delivery, installation and set-up of consumer electronics and white goods, because no one does an all-in-one like that, and usually you have to wait too long, especially for big items.

But I wouldn't want to try it without crunching a full business plan.

Agreed. You can see this every single time. Like the fingerprint scanner, didn't go out in 4 or 5 or 6. It happened in one of their 'between' phones, in 5S/5C. They test it, if it works, okay great, now we can build our payment's product on top of it.

That's the way you can be successful. The massive risk would be to create a fingerprint thing and try to bootstrap a payments platform on day 1 when 0 users have their fingerprint scanned.
