> The few people I know in Scotland became terribly hostile over the last week. I mean really anti-English. I'm talking non-patriotic professional people I've known for 20 years.

I've seen quite the opposite. A lot of people here have openly said we'd love to work and trade closely with England - we just want our policies to reflect our differing political leanings.

The line already exists - it's there in the left of center, socialist culture we have in Scotland. Unfortunately as Westminster slowly drifts further right, we find ourselves (Scots) even less well represented.

I have, however, seen a real anti-Scottish sentiment from a very small proportion of English press and media. I know that's absolutely not representative of the English population, but it was disturbing nonetheless.

There are horrible people on both sides. Let's not let that color our opinions.

Thanks to have started this thread. OrientDB represents the evolution of the Graph Database concept, where Vertices can be Documents. So you can have:

- a more flexible Neo4j, with a Multi-Master replication

- a more powerful MongoDB: documents can link each other, not only embed them

The new Studio web tool is a step forward any other web tools in NoSQL space. The Graph Editor is alive. You can display your database as a nice graph, but you can also interact with it without writing code. This is the first time a Graph Database provides such powerful tool for FREE in bundle with the engine.

Last, but not least, the Apache2 license makes OrientDB a perfect choice also for Commercial Applications where can use it for FREE. The community behind OrientDB is already big and it's growing every day with new users and contributors.

Yesterday we released 2.0-M1, this is the first step to the final 2.0 scheduled for the next weeks. Please help us to improve OrientDB with your feedbacks (also broken links in documentation :-) ) and contributions.

man, i'll just address the most egregious BS (the rest has been many times discussed elsewhere and obviously you've chosen your facts, i - mine) :

>Furthermore, there is a lot of humanitarian effort in Ukraine, governmental and private, to help the people in that region.

Kiev government's refusal to pay pensions to old and disabled people in Donetsk/Luhansk - such a low blow. "Humanitarian effort", yep... (http://www.62.ua/news/621938 - site of Ukraine nationalists in Donetsk)

I've had a good experience with priced equity seed round with no board seats, no anti-dilution, drag along, non-participating liquidation preference, and simple pro rata participation rights. When a Series A occurs, the Seed investors will get rolled into whatever [presumably stronger] rights we define at that time. A seed round doesn't need to carry any more governance or loss of control than you desire.

The deal was relatively quick and easy, and under $10k in legal. Even dealing with the SEC was quite pleasant. Ultimately I like the directness and simplicity of preferred shares. It also helps when back in 2012 we got the 100% federal capital gains exclusion on QSBS.

Regarding keeping a low stock price; your limited offering preferred share price has little-to-nothing to do with your common share pricing. It should be trivial to get a safe harbor'ed common stock valuation at PAR for 83(b) purposes, even following a $3-$5m pre-money seed round.

It doesn't appear that you can use this in a 'normal' .NET app. Any ideas why?
At my first job, there were periods where I didn't have much to do. So I thought, instead of mindlessly surfing the Internet, I'll read to improve my knowledge. It was a large company and they had hundreds of computer books. So I got one from the library and started reading it during a down time.

My manager comes over and says "There's no reading during work." (I was reading The Mythical Man-Month so it wasn't like I was reading a novel or anything).

I'm not there anymore but I still do take 30 minutes to read daily. I just do it more discreetly by using Safari Books Online and don't ask for permission.

It's good to hear there are forward looking companies out there. Everyone should make a little time to do things that won't benefit you today, but will benefit you in 6 months.

"I think a lot of African Americans are getting a bum deal out of life. Murder and drug dealing are wrong, but society doesn't give them a lot of other realistic options."

I think this is bullshit. I am living in an eastern European country (Hungary), do you think it is a place where poor people can advance more easily than in the USA? And we don't have the kind of brutal gun violence that is present in the USA. This is very much a cultural thing. It has nothing to do with being poor, or having few opportunities to 'advance'.

These people are making their own life miserable due to very very bad cultural influences from their peers. It is not the case that someone could starve in the USA or anywhere in the first world. They could live a very modest but relatively happy life with full of love (on a farm or in a small village) if they would have that kind of culture...

Now avoiding the cultural influences of your environment is hard. Very very hard.
I suspect there would have been no fuss.

The UK had the legal right to ask the EU what the status of an independent Scotland would be within the EU.

It's my belief that the EU would not eject 5 million citizens unless they asked to leave.

The UK government did not ask the question. I suggest this is because they have the same belief, and didn't want there to be clarity in the answer.

Yes, it's based on a different JS engine than what they use... that really isn't the point... just like Python, Ruby and Java aren't Apple platform inventions.

I am simply disappointed that Apple chose to embrace NIH instead of a broadly supported, and growing system that would have been a great fit for this purpose.

Sorry to be anal about it, but (assuming you're from a Western country) the society is anything but patriarchal.

I agree it's not the best word for it, but what I meant is that the elements are made to look and behave similar to their real-life or conceptual analogues. Think of it mostly as the software UI skeuomorphism: we are able to recognize the functions of the software faster because it is designed to look like something we know.
yes you are right that social networks are what we make of them. We should not judge anyone. :) I am seconding your views. But I didn't understand that how social network can help someone to work well with others? Yeah if they are meeting personally then it makes them more socialized. However, if they are just chatting and exchanging text and nothing else then it is waste of data and as well as time.

To drive a tracked vehicle, there are separate licences; but quite a few farmers have them for moving their tractors through roads.
I like vectorized languages -- I know R fairly well, and used to use Matlab.

J's syntax, where everything is a single character, kind of turns me off. Is that incidental or is the syntax essential to the language? (In the case of Lisp, the "weird" syntax isn't incidental but rather essential, since code is data)

If it's incidental, I'd like to see some elegant J programs "written out" with some more friendly syntax.

EDIT: If you want a laugh, download the source for J, and run wc -l .c .h.

the way it was happening before September. If you read the story - it was just a political decision to stop paying. It happened right after the decision about "special status" and public declarations of Kiev politicians about "no money to separatists".

Because node + npm have much broader appeal and libraries already available, and those that Apple is offering could very easily fit into this system. For that matter, Apple could have pre-published them as npm modules to the local global store for their platform.

node/npm exists and is very vibrant. Embracing it would have been a better move imho. Much the same reason they didn't creat ATML (Apple Text Markup Language) as a system for documents that only macs can use. They probably would have been better served by embracing a JS platform that already works well on Macs with libraries/modules that would have worked well for their platform.
Did you just link to the daily mail on the topic of media bias?
People themselves do. E.g. I might delegate my vote on financial matters to my accountant, foreign policy to a friend of mine I trust on the matter, rural affairs to the politician nominated by some political party I trust as an expert, and keep votes on issues affecting the tech sector to myself.
For most fancy or new cars that people buy, they could get one $9k cheaper that would go places just as well.

The thing about "distrust of authority" as propaganda is that it's usually served up by another authority (or wannabe authority) saying that they'd be different. Vide Tea Party.

The reaction that "this can't be propaganda" is part of the engineered truthiness they're aiming for.
We didn't have Haskell in 1989. As I wrote, there are things I value in FP languages in general, and more specifically Backus's FP calculus inspired me to come up with Higher Order Messaging[1].

It's nice to have language support for functional style (let, for example) where that is appropriate for the problem at hand, but you can write in that style without the language support easily enough.

On the other hand, when FP style is not appropriate for the problem at hand, it really, really gets in the way, and that's the case a lot of the time. Many if not most problems (outside of writing compilers for FP languages) don't really fit the functional style, and have to be made to fit.

Experienced devs will choose appropriate tools for the problem at hand. Me, I like adaptive tooling that I can bend to fit the problem, which is why I like dynamic OO languages, internal DSLs and Domain Modeling[2] in general.

In fact, I think the current tools are still a little too inflexible for this, which is why I am creating a language to address some of these issues: http://objective.st

FP seems to be more about bending the problem to fit the tooling, which I guess may work for a specific kind of mindset.

> From an engineering perspective this is a creative way to circumvent management's requirements ("our encryption keys must be kept on premises"), but otherwise I don't see the value.

This is a little bit like saying "From an engineering perspective, gold is a good conductor but otherwise I don't see the value."

Whether the desire to avoid sharing SSL keys with 3rd parties stems from management, regulatory or contractual requirements is irrelevant. The bottom line, from CloudFlare's perspective, is that they have been unable to address a significant and potentially highly-profitable market.

Keyless SSL might not be groundbreaking from a technical/engineering perspective but, as a service offering, it could unlock hundreds of millions in revenue for CloudFlare.
My intention was focused entirely on object oriented modelling and programming. Interface design is a tool to do that, but in and of itself does not provide the correspondence with the way humans think. The core of OO is to have independent objects that combine behaviour and data. Whatever your type system, whatever your language constructs, that core is what provides the advantage. I was considering mostly the basic ideas of OO modelling in general rather than whatever way you choose to achieve that.

David Cameron's goal from this referendum was to win and close down any suggestion of real reform. There's significant danger that just a few weeks of chatter about it remain.
I know the Piwik recommendation gave some a reason to chuckle but I was dead serious. This initiative was promoted by Dropbox (who recently brought Condoleeza Rice on board) and Google (an ad company currently removing privacy-enhancing apps from their mobile marketplace) and so this group will need to distinguish themselves to appear credible.

It's that or be dismissed as just another iteration of Microsoft's 'embrace, extend, extinguish' plays.

The media thrive on fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

The possibility of Scotland voting for independence had that in spades; nobody really knew what it would entail.

Thus the media persisted in presenting it as a realistic, likely prospect, even when it was quite apparent (as per bookmakers odds) that a 'yes' vote was very unlikely.

Your question is invalid, so answering it is impossible, but it is a very normal mistake to make, so you have no reason to feel bad about it.

Common Lisp is a language, while what they are integrating to Emacs isn't a language, it is a VM used by an implementation of a language. The VM itself is generic enough to be compatible with Elisp (although I believe there was some struggle to deal with the differing way nil and #t work between Elisp and the Guile VM).

It is a bit like how both Java and Ruby can run on the JVM, Java being born with it and Ruby being ported to it through JRuby.

A particular implementation of Common Lisp can have a VM that is similarly compatible with Emacs, although all GNU Common Lisp implementations are not as actively maintained as Guile is.

On the language side, Common Lisp is definitely incompatible with Elisp, as they have differing semantics. Historically, Common Lisp has had lexical binding, while Elisp has dynamic binding. (From Emacs 24 on, one can turn on lexical binding on a file by file basis.) Elisp also doesn't have closures. Finally, the numeric tower is different between the two.

I was following the polls more closely than the bookmakers, but both were clear that No was likely to win.

If the media, who overwhelmingly supported No were reporting it as "too close to call" then either a) they felt that was the most effective way to bring about the result they desired, or b) they are idiots who don't understand the basics of the things they report on. Probably a little of both.
I agree that it was a little too hard. I would also show the ingredients to mix colors in the first few levels.
How do you stop people from using their delegated votes in their own self interest? I would think that a proposition for providing tax breaks to programmers would be popular amongst people on HN for example. Is there transparency so that others can see how I voted? If so , how do you prevent people from being bribed or intimidated into voting a certain way?

Can votes be re-delegated? Is this process transparent? For example if I collect a large number of "tech" votes , what is to stop me from selling them all to Microsoft?
You should try explaining some business logic to a non-technical person some time. If you are able to properly model the problem domain, non-technical people have a much easier time understanding the flow of the code and how it works if it's written in an OO way. This is precisely because they recognize the concepts and ideas they are familiar with and can already reason about. They know that 'a Person pays their Bills by asking a Bank to deposit Money'. This means they can make sense of code that is structured in the same way. FP, for all its advantages and elegance, doesn't offer that same correspondence.
Can confirm that the actual package successfully installs into a Profile78 Portable Class Library. So whilst the marketing heavily mentions Windows Phone, in theory this library will also work on Xamarin (iOS/Android, etc) and also within standard .NET applications (ASP.NET/Console/etc).

nb: haven't actually tested past installation at this stage.

edit: nope :(

I made a C# Console app and added the nuget package. It adds, but there aren't any references. Within the nuget package, though, there is are three subdirectories within 'lib', one being 'win81'.

Within this, there are 'ARM' 'x86' and 'x64' directories and dlls within them. VS refuses to add them to my project, so I'm guessing they're native and not COM libraries.

Why would I think they might be .NET libraries if they have 'x86' and 'x64' labels? Because C++/CLI has to be compiled to separate dlls, I believe.
