I generally hold that it's simply a matter of whether the language is optimizing for beginners, intermediate level users, or experts.

Terse code is useful for domain experts, it allows them to quickly assess what's happening without having to read a lot, and have more of the program logic in the field of view at a time. Unfortunately it's hard for beginners to understand because a lot is implied through idiomatic usage.

Verbose code is easier for beginners, but domain experts may find it cumbersome and a chore to both read and write.

Perl has found an interesting spot on this spectrum, as through TIMTOWTDI it has the capacity for verbose code, as well as terse, idiomatic code. I'm not sure if that means it's optimized for intermediate level users, or if it's just schizophrenic.
With the word startup I actually mean founders and early employees. Sorry for the unclear wording and thank you for your opinion.
And yet, people do get useful work done with spreadsheets. They build computer programs that solve problems for them. There are many programs that aren't feasible to write in a spreadsheet, but there are many useful ones that are.

I think success for this project looks more like a supercharged spreadsheet than a simplified programming language. There will be many programs that won't be feasible to write in it, but I think they could carve out an area wherein there are many useful programs that can be. If that area is large enough, that would be a big deal.
I went to Harvard, but I think it's important to note that the vast majority of private schools don't have the wealth (and corresponding aid) of Harvard and its ilk.

The author has no understanding of CNC machines and didn't do his homework. This is all completely wrong:

"Like any computer-numerically-controlled (or CNC) mill, the one-foot-cubed black box uses a drill bit mounted on a head that moves in three dimensions to automatically carve digitally-modeled shapes into polymer, wood or aluminum."

CNCs use drill bits for drilling, but not cutting. They use a carbide router bit. Look like a drill bit, but isn't. His machine might use a drill bit, but it's not the norm and "any CNC" doesn't.

CNC routers, or mills, divide into those that cut steel and those that cut everything else, not "polymer, wood or aluminum". From this article, I can't tell nearly as much as I'd like to about this machine, and I do this for a living.
FWIW, outside of the US, debit cards are not always Visa and MasterCard branded.
Wow this is very interesting. I have been following Wit's progress since I am quite a geek for all kinds of automation and AI stuff.

Would it be possible to port this into JavaScript using ClojureScript and use it on the client side?

Looks very interesting, but it is rather long. Can anyone familiar with this paper provide a summary?
> This already exists. Ubiquitous air presence via unmanned drones armed with air-to-ground rockets, missiles, or guided bombs.

Your other comments aside, this actually isn't too far outside the realm of possibility for sufficiently motivated and skilled independent manufacturers. What militaries really have a monopoly on is superior supply chains and logistics. The advanced weaponry is icing on the cake.

Why "drop" Dropbox?

Just use it with client-side encryption, as you should have from the start. It's easy (on OSX):

encfs ~/Dropbox/freedom ~/Dropsafe -o volname="dropsafe" -o noappledouble
One thing that caught me off guard is that these are IPv4-only; if you want IPv6 you have to use HE.net tunnels or similar.

IPv6-only hosts I understand, but I can't imagine that you'd be able to get IPv4 addresses cheaply enough to maintain this pricing for long.
Copy is working well for me.
Switzerland is a horrible example of a country where guns are inaccessible: mandatory militia services with the ability to retain your weapon afterwards; Government subsidized ammo costs for training and sports in the general populace; a 29% household firearm presence rate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Switzerland
Guns save more lives than they take;

Whether or not this is true, "guns" != fun toys like the AR-15 or the M&P15, the ownership of which is touted by pro-gun activists as some kind of an inalienable right.

This is just a demo website, but in a real use case you would pass a context (for instance with the user timezone, country...) with your library calls.

You can also try the same sentence in French, you'll get February first.
+1 on this.

We got the update on the EC2 reboots, but totally missed the RDS reboot information and as such suffered some downtime through the reboots on Friday (that we could have avoided had we known about it). It would be nice if the RDS console supported the "Scheduled Events" section that the EC2 console had.
Uhhh, except that this in no way actually implements CSP, given that more than one actor can just hang onto a resource despite having passed a pointer to someone else?

Who's meant to deal with freeing? Do you necessitate GC?

It's also fairly distasteful that all type safety is discarded.

What if they find out that you just linked to a "deep-link?"

Seriously though, is it made unenforceable when the usage by both parties (linkedin and users) actually encourage this? (Share this on facebook!) It sounds like a "catch-all" "don't like you" clause.
It's open source under GPL. https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable

If it truly is "a great IDE" and "95% complete in every corner", yet it dies because the users (who all happen to be coders!) don't rally around it and contribute that last 5%, what does that mean?
Where are you based? I'm Italian, living in SF.
Unless he's rolling with security, he'd be taken hostage for sure.
Sorry, but no. We know that there is 40% attendance at university, so 3,194 of the less well-off people would have kids who attend.
At least for me, that's why you don't get an upvote (you'd get a downvote if I could give one).

You keep painting this as a political issue, when it isn't. The point is not that Rice is controversial, or a republican.

The point is that by international standards, she's a WAR CRIMINAL.

So you're not interested in politics. Fantastic. In 1930's Germany you'd be the idiot with his head in the sand, talking about how the Nazi party is really energizing the manufacturing sector and how great that is for the economy.

I am so sick of hearing people like you taking pride in how ignorant they are of the world around them.
Inbox seems like a great product.

I am building this desktop productivity tool which helps you to stay on top of things that matter most to you - www.StayOnTop.co

Do you have features which can help me do following operations -

1. Knowing whether user had read his email.

2. Downloading email attachments

3. Search\find inside email using regex or some keywords

4. How much time it takes to download first 50 emails?

5. How much times it takes for authentication and for how long the session token will be valid?

6. Do you support paging of emails? Like page 1, page 2....n

Much Thanks.

Could NIX be used as a language package manager? Does it allow installing on cutting-edge code from random repositories? Can you only download something, without installing it? Can you access multiple versions of the same library from a single "project" (e.g. by using different aliases for different versions)?

I feel removing your work (Eg: clearing out you git repo, or deleting source files off the live page, etc) ought to get the attention of somebody superior.
What country are you in and what country are they in? If it's something like US -> UK you have legal recourse most likely. If it's something like US -> Somalia then you're out of luck, stop working and demand payment. Also take away their access to everything you have done.
Not "political views" - she was one of the architects of the invasion of Iraq. It's less a disagreement than a visceral revulsion, you can't just cast that many people into the Inferno and call it politcs. Thousands and thousands have died now, it's still not really over.
That is only a logical conclusion of that line of thinking in worlds were community college is a prerequisite for all useful jobs or roles in society. We are not in such a world.
Going to dogfood it as a primary workstation for a few days as well and see what happens. My laptop needs trashing anyway and everything is backed up regularly so I've got nothing to lose other than a couple of hours max.

Since you dropped Dropbox due to the appointment, how is having your files at some webhost (I'm assuming shared hosting but please correct me if that's wrong) different from hosting with Dropbox? I'm not knocking your decision, in fact I've considered it myself. I have a small reseller hosting side business and it would be super easy for me to spin up a host for myself and do the same. But in the end, your files are still being stored by a third party which you have no control over, and they might just have even worse data security policies than Dropbox. Especially when you consider that most shared hosting plans discourage use as a file server, you may even be violating the AUP of your provider.

I'd say the safest bet is a CoLo with an encrypted drive that only you have the keys to, or else a home server and VPN.
Err, no. I was hoping you could clarify what is meant, like I said. I get the idea of "casual [xxxx]ism", where something is so internalized and normalized that it doesn't even register as shitty.

However, I was specifically asking if you thought it was possible to have discussions on sensitive topics in a civil way or if having a discussion, e.g., "the pros and cons of slavery in America" or "was the prophet of Islam a fraud?" itself is some kind of expression of privilege over the person who would be offended by said discussion.

I'm not too worried about censorship in general, but sometimes the whole "don't be offensive" seems like an open problem and at odds with "have and discuss an opinion that disagrees with others". Just wanted your thoughts on that...

US population density: 34/km^2

The Northeast US has a fairly good railway system despite it having a lot of legacy constraints not around in Germany. Most of the rest of the US is far to sprawling for railways to be effective.
Adding a fee would be a material change, and would require further consent... also, the clauses about deleting content and restricting access are all made with future cash charges as a possibility.

Said another way: these are set up with the ability to charge you later in mind.
I second this approach. Had a similar problem with a client in the UK two years ago. They dragged their feet for a few months, then gradually stopped answering emails and taking my phone calls altogether.

I wrote a very angry email saying I intended to sell the debt to a collection agency, to ensure they paid in full, even if I never saw any of the money myself. They replied on the very same day, we negotiated, and I recovered about half the money I was owed by the end of the week.

On the other hand, forget shaming them publicly - you open yourself up to accusations of libel - or empty threats of legal action - you simply don't have the resources. The same goes for sabotaging or erasing your code. But debt collection is a very real option.
You're assuming we'd play by some set of rules that would allow these drones to make enough of a difference.

You could compare any language to machine language and you can say that language is less powerful. Go is not even close to the power of C and assembly. I'm not gonna even try to argue.
I expect it's because of who does the bargaining. In the US, where students take out loans and then pay educational institutions with that money, the student is the one bargaining. The student has very little leverage, comparatively, and they are not incentivized in the short term to drive a hard bargain because they're going to turn around and get the money via a loan.

When the government is directly covering the cost of education, they are the ones bargaining with educational institutions. If the institution tries to bump prices, the government can pull funding for that institution and basically eliminate their revenue. As such, the institutions and government are required to negotiate much more rationally.
You seemed to have cut off an important part of that clause.

it's.... it's software. Complex software (like an editor) is never finished. At some point all software is eventually abandoned. Thus all complex software is abandoned in an unfinished state.

This is a simple truth.

For my part I think they've delivered on the spirit of their Kickstarter. They released a very usable editor that does some amazing shit. It doesn't have every feature in the Kickstarter video, but that's because reality kicked in and they had to prioritize, and found that some of the features didn't work out as well when put to other users.
