Sounds like Github is the top SVN for startups. Thats not really surprising though. However there is some good insight into other products and CI.
I simply disagree with all of that, or at least partially with the 3rd point. But I also don't see the point in continuing this argument. Sorry.

Isn't it possible that the issue is in the difficulty in classifying people as "addicts" instead of concluding that most addicts just grow out of it? The alcoholics in my family do not grow out of it. To a man (or woman) they just deteriorate over the years and it is a very sad thing to watch. It seems possible that what the author had and what my family members have are two different afflictions.

>Moreover, if addiction were truly a progressive disease, the data should show that the odds of quitting get worse over time. In fact, they remain the same on an annual basis, which means that as people get older, a higher and higher percentage wind up in recovery. If your addiction really is “doing push-ups” while you sit in AA meetings, it should get harder, not easier, to quit over time.

Clearly the author is questioning the progressive nature of addiction but not considering the well known issue of defining addiction. Furthermore, to my understanding the "progressive nature" of the disease is not referring to the difficulty in quitting but rather the severity of the abuse of the substance.
tldr; macros

Yes but No.I personally think macros are the "root of all evil". Because they just make languages unreadable. That's one thing to have a complete different language that compiles down to JS,but as soon as you introduce macros is your code you make it harder to understand and document.I'm glad it works for you,but in my opinion the use of macros should be banned.While limited to nodejs, I personally think fibers are better alternative.

4. I actually think that it makes promises elegant. You can chain 20 then and have a single catch in case things are wrong,but you need to adjust the logic accordingly.Using different Error "classes" and checking the type is usually what I do.

I still believe promises are an elegant way to deal with async programming,and ES6 lambdas will make them even less painfull.

I'm not sold on generators for async programming strangely ,for multiple reasons(lack of support in browser land,especially on mobile).

EDIT: macros are fine in LISP likes because it's not like these languages have a complex syntax. And in C,well you cant program without them. My point is javascript has enough features to make macros unnecessary.
> At some point in there, it was not unusual for me to have two doubles with dinner -- the equivalent to four drinks. So I imagine I could have been classified as an alcoholic at that time. But when I got some answers and started getting healthier, I was happy to stop drinking.

2 glasses of whisky a day is not healthy but it's not alcoholism.

This is a bit tricky to describe but I'll do my best: let's assume you had two US doubles per day. Wikipedia says that 89 ml per drink. Let's round that up to 100 ml each drink. English public health has a concept of "units" to describe drinking amounts.

200 ml * 40 (the ABV of spirits) = 8 units per day.

Recommended safe limits are 3 to 4 units per day (without saving up to binge). You should try to have a couple of drink free days each week.

So, 8 units per day is over that level and increases the risks of harm.

Looking at definitions we see "alcohol misuse" which include "harmful drinking" and "alcohol dependency". http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/qs11/chapter/development-sou...

> The definition of harmful alcohol use in this quality standard is that of the World Health Organisation (WHO) The International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems (ICD-10): "a pattern of psychoactive substance use that is causing damage to health. The damage may be physical (for example, hepatitis) or mental (for example, depressive episodes secondary to heavy alcohol intake). Harmful use commonly, but not invariably, has adverse social consequences; social consequences in themselves, however, are not sufficient to justify a diagnosis of harmful use".

> In ICD-10 the 'dependence syndrome' is defined as: "a cluster of behavioural, cognitive, and physiological phenomena that develop after repeated substance use and that typically include a strong desire to take the drug, difficulties in controlling its use, persisting in its use despite harmful consequences, a higher priority given to drug use than to other activities and obligations, increased tolerance, and sometimes a physical withdrawal state".

Looking at the English guidelines for treatment we see that medically supervised withdrawal starts when you're drinking 40 units per day - that would be a one liter bottle of 40% whisky every day.

Here's the full guideline:

LEC 2 is probably AT&T. (With congestion like that, I guess I won't bother to sign up for "GigaPower".) Verizon is LEC 1 or 3 and I'm not sure who the other LEC is.
Clean Micro-service Architecture
Looking forward to time zones support in something like this. Parsing phrases like "4 o'clock tomorrow my time" or "8am on the East Coast" would be useful. Few libraries that try to guess time zones do this well (they just assume you mean whatever your device is localized to at best).

Alone in the dark
Hello.
I have noticed that people often come here to ask for IT advice, for example what the best developer laptop is. I also have a problem, but it is not of a technical nature.
I live in a small European country. I have always found IT-world fascinating. So once I had an opportunity to seriously study IT, I used it. But for some reason people don’t like me. For as long as I can remember I have always been the odd man out. Remember the lonely fat kid no one wanted to play with? I am that kid. I have tried to make friends but people come to me usually only when they need something from me. But if I need something (partners for a group project for example) I stand alone. There could be several reasons. I am oldest person in my class, physically I am not very pleasing. But this is irrelevant. I have come to terms with the fact that if I want to succeed I must do it alone. But professors are always pointing out that IT is a team effort. Sadly this is true.
Yet, academically I am doing great. I am at the top 10% of the class, graduating will be no problem for me, even if I must do everything by myself. So let’s cut to the chase. I need advice about fields in IT where gifted person could be independent. And please don’t give me advice to put yourself out there, try to make friends. That is not going to happen. What I want (and what I truly need) is a few good suggestions where I should aim with my career. I don’t have to decide anything now right now (currently I only started my second year of three years to get a bachelor’s degree) but I like to be prepared. Thank you in advance.

Internet Explorer Platform Suggestion Box
Perl modules to implement this would be Date::Manip and DateTime::Format::Natural. To see some funnier modules (like calculating Discordian dates or Japanese eras) look here: http://www.perl.com/pub/2003/03/13/datetime.html

I actually bumped up against legacy time/date issues while working on SSL cert parsing. An old Perl interpreter's 32-bit limits kept resetting my dates! Rather than upgrade perl or my architecture, I wrote my own perl methods to calculate infinite time (sorta?) on 32-bit systems with old perls.

For those that haven't worked with date parsing before: timezones are surprisingly complex, leap years are stupid, daylight savings is really stupid, and leap seconds are impossible without a regularly updated leap second database (similar to timezones, but worse). (The math to calculate dates correctly is rather simple, but you need to be pretty good at math to optimize it) https://github.com/psypete/public-bin/blob/public-bin/src/ne...
Beautiful Version Control
Have you ever looked into how version control for Smalltalk worked?

People who worked with that used to love it and I'm fairly certain that Eve's model would (be able to) work quite similarly.
It kind of reminds me of a modern Google Sites clone...but that OK. Looks cool!

Steven Pinker on Why It’s Okay to Dangle Your Participle
I agree that the title is a bit hyperbolic and should be changed to the real article title.

But the article does mention the 10,000 hour rule.

>These findings filtered their way into pop culture. They were the inspiration for what Malcolm Gladwell termed the “10,000 Hour Rule” in his book Outliers, which in turn was the inspiration for the song “Ten Thousand Hours” by the hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

And on top of that the entirety of the article is framed as a rebuttal to the 10,000 hour rule. Don't know what article you read.

Whoa. In an odd way, it could turn out that destroying our natural ecosystems is the fastest way to prepare for a post-GRB environment. So maybe if our responsibility is to preserve intelligent life, the best route is to destroy the planet ASAP in a controlled manner, and learn to become completely self-sufficient without eco-system services... :/
In that case, it is entirely the wrong expression to use. To simply grow out of something is to primarily yield to natural processes. Babies simply grow out of breast feeding. Toddlers simply grow out of putting random things in their mouths. Children simply grow out of name-calling and toy-hoarding. Adolescents simply grow out of feelings of invulnerability.

If an addict primarily yields to natural processes, he simply behaves in complete accordance with addiction.
> conducive to "free thought"

"Conducive to" is the same as "required for".

> He didn't say that 4 years of university was a prerequisite to being a "free thinker", but I think it's probably useful. You get to live and work with fellow students who hail from sorts of backgrounds and have different goals and aspirations from you. Most universities offer classes in a wide range of subject areas, and many even require you to take classes outside of your specialization. There's a high concentration of intellectuals to interact with. And you get a lot of time to think about life, the universe, and everything.

My point is that none of those are required to be a "free thinker" or a "free man". To be a free thinker, one only needs a brain. To be a free man, one only needs to live in a free society.
Airphrame - UAV Technology // San Francisco, CA // email:jobs@airphrame.com

Full Time:
- Full Stack Web Developer
- Front End Web Developer
- Back End Web Developer
- Mechatronics Engineer
- Computer Vision Engineer

---------------

Company:
Airphrame, a well funded venture-backed startup based in San Francisco, is building the technology to control fleets of autonomous devices in a scalable and centralized manner. That's right, tens of thousands of robots under our control... do I have your attention?

Our product focus is the development of a UAV-based “on-demand imaging platform,” primarily for data collection, to assist civil engineers, land surveyors, environmental engineers, and other professionals. Our technology has already demonstrated a tenfold cost reduction compared to traditional survey operations. Our goal is to use that advantage to open up a new realm of data acquisition strategies.

Airphrame has been developing drone technology since 2012. We were the first to demonstrate Internet-only based control and the first to utilize fleets commercially (completely without pilots). We've done more with less and plan to keep it that way. We prefer to work with small teams of talented people rather than large teams of “pretty good” engineers. We're a tight knit group, with immense respect for each other's complementary skill sets. We thrive on pushing the boundaries and our company mascot is a bourbon Manhattan.

We’re looking for self-directed, versatile individuals who work well in teams. You should be able to say you are the absolute best at what you do.

-----------------

Full Stack:
- Scala and/or Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS
- Scalable API design and implementation
- Relational and NoSQL databases
- Knowledge of modern frontend frameworks
- Linux system administration
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- 4+ years industry experience, coding entire life
- Passion for robotics, maps, and startup experience are all big plusses
EXAMPLE TASK FOCUS
Create a web interface for an analyst to label objects shown in images that are a part of a large geospatial dataset.

Mechatronics:
- Knowledge of sensor selection, design, and usage (e.g. sensor fusion)
- Familiar with system integration, microprocessor, signal processing and various communication peripherals (e.g. SPI, I2C, UART)
- Hands-on prototyping and hardware debugging, including fine-pitch soldering and rework, use of oscilloscopes and logic analyzers
- Robust knowledge in embedded software developement (C, C++)
- Bonus: Experience integrating sensors directly with autopilots
EXAMPLE TASK FOCUS
Source and integrate a small parachute deployment based on sensor feedback through the Pixhawk flight controller.

This looks great at first.

We will see if the flow is useful to enough people and if it's worth paying vs other options available right now. Project management software is hard as there are so many different way of dealing with projects.

Also, I hope it works great on mobile or it's in the plan, otherwise it might be a deal breaker.

Also, I think I like the fact it's open source with a paid hosting if we want. Let's see how they deal with that on the long term.
This seems overly restrictive. Especially when, at a base level, macros should be easier to explain than some alternatives. It is quite literally, "take this and replace it with that."

Don't get me wrong. They can hurt a codebase such that it is not readable anymore. But you know, functions can do similar. Heck, for some code basees, the same thing.
Actually, speaking as a former addict, I would call it simple.

Damned hard, fucking painful, betimes hopeless, ..., but the most consistent memory from my early recovery was the simplicity of the process. There really was only one thing important: stay clean.

In my own case I aimed for staying clean for 2 years. And for those two years that was not "the most important thing", it was the only thing that mattered. Other factors helped too (supportive family was next most important), but I think I would not now be clean without the simplicity of that bright line rule of 2 years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright-line_rule
I don't think you understand the ability for macros to make code more readable.

"However, as we confront increasingly complex problems, we will find that Lisp, or indeed any fixed programming language, is not sufficient for our needs. We must constantly turn to new languages in order to express our ideas more effectively. Establishing new languages is a powerful strategy for controlling complexity in engineering design; we can often enhance our ability to deal with a complex problem by adopting a new language that enables us to describe (and hence to think about) the problem in a different way, using primitives, means of combination, and means of abstraction that are particularly well suited to the problem at hand."
