Unfortunately I don't write much C# (took a few courses that heavily used it) so it's going to be hard for me to really get an idea of what this feels like to have access to all the time (i.e. know if it's really useful). I'd really love to see what it feels like with a scripting language like Python or Javascript
I guess you didn't read past the first screen or two, then?

The section on "The Technical Origin" explicitly references that as the starting point for this project.
The issue at the Federal level is not too long ago the US went around bullying UN nations into signing a unified drug treaty which is in effect for I believe 90 years. The idea was that if all countries agree on banning certain drugs, it can have a more unified effort in eradicating said drugs. It mostly targeted hard drugs, but marijuana is also named in the treaty.

It would be very difficult for the US to back out of or alter the very treaty we pressured most of the world into signing not that long ago.

You shouldn't let that scare you away. There's a good article from Joel on Software about how software is priced. It might be this (it's long enough and old enough it might be right):
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/CamelsandRubberDuckie...

but essentially you're likely to find many models of software (from large software vendors) with a lot of different models for how you can try / use / own it. My sense is that most commercial software vendors want you to use their software and want you to get it legitimately and want to find a way where you can pay what vaguely seems like it should be mutually agreeable (if you're using it educationally, there are often ways to get it for free, if you're a developer for a large organization, they want that organization to actually pay for it and support the value they're getting out of you using it).

I worked on MS Office and I once remember Sinofsky (then in charge of Office) once talking about the pricing structure of Office and saying nobody paid the ~$400 MSRP. People get it bundled with new computers, pay substantially lower upgrade fees, or something else. I don't remember if he went so far as to say "at some level, people pirate it" but that's a reality that only the really oblivious would ignore. The point is - try stuff out, see what you like, and try to figure out what makes you the most productive without worrying about "some day I won't be able to afford this" (but by all means you should also rabble-rouse if you find the prices for the software you use are unreasonable and inflexible).
What if Facebook blocks you?
This might also apply to maintainers of legacy systems (especially ones that are in constant state of reengineering)
Yes, I know about this, and thank you for reminding me, but in the end, I just don't trust software.

I really do like old school and I stick with it. I write most of my docs as text in either vi or nano. I neither want nor need formatting beyond the basics. My CV is the only document I own that has formatting, and I used LibreOffice for it. It's a single page.

Metafilter, The Internet's First Family
It seems like this is more of, "Let's take these things that are going to talk on the Internet to centralized services and try to make sure that those centralized services give 3rd parties ways to use the data which has been collected" more than actually putting lots of "things" onto the web for direct interaction. Although some portions of the slide deck do seem to indicate otherwise.

I think the biggest problem holding back 3rd parties using the IoT/WoT data is that the old mental models for such data (like all the electric meters are read by the electric company and they send you a bill) is very centralized, so that's what we are seeing so far. The sensors are still feeding data to one central place and there's really no incentive to share that data besides directly with the customer.

What exactly am I going to do with the data my "things" collect? That question hasn't been answered yet, as far as I can tell. Once companies making "things" start answering this question in a compelling way, then I think lots of other "things" will follow a similar model and the space will flourish, so it's good to see the W3C getting some publicity on making things open before this happens.

I still have no intention of buying a "smart" or "Internet connected" thing besides computers, media devices (game consoles, chromecast, etc), and my phone. I'm sure others feel similarly, so what kind of product would convince me to change my stance?
Is it easier to pass an initiative in a city than in a state with a similar population? DC proper has a similar population to states like Wyoming and Vermont.
Maybe your use of quotes is to make fun of the article, but in any case, I'll say this: I disagree it is a bug, rather it is a shortcoming of a minifier that it does not preserve the semantics of the input program.

Since this shortcoming is hard or impossible to overcome completely, case-specific post-processors to help out the minifier sound reasonable to me.

> As a glaring example, consider the Citizen's United case; Occupy supporters would almost unanimously point to the Citizen's United ruling as extremely damaging to American democracy, Tea Party supporters on the other hand overwhelmingly side with the government regarding the treatment of money as speech.

Side with the court -- the government (specifically, the Federal Election Commission) was the losing party in Citizen's United, so siding with the government would be the position you ascribe to Occupy, to wit, seeing the ruing as damaging to American democracy.

> From the outside, it seems like startups do this better than most.

As someone on the outside, hearing horror stories about mandatory 14 hour days and regularly working nights and weekends for startups I'd think they were doing it much worse. It's one of the things that has steered me away from working for a recent startup because I refuse to work more than 8 hours a week.

I had an interview at a startup where I asked the interviewer to take me through my average day at the company. He basically said I'd arrive at 8:30 and leave at 6:30 or 7, sometimes later. I told him that to maintain a healthy work/life balance I would be leaving at 5pm every day and asked him his opinion on that. He said it would be technically acceptable since they can't force you to work more than 8 hours, but would be heavily looked down upon. I didn't take the job.

I am not a developer but here are my impressions as an outsider (I did not downvote either, and I don't believe your post is that bad).
This is highly possible that I am totally wrong with my assumptions on the downvote

- Your TIE fighter gets too much attention, most of the other posts here are sober and don't try to attract attention with tricks.

- It seems like you are looking for a "rockstar", and for what I know most of the people are tired of those job descriptions. Maybe changing from the first person to the second person will change that.

- Maybe it is the 7+ years.

- Maybe it is the salary for the requirements (I don't know the usual salary for this situation)

- Maybe it is just the Rebel Alliance

I would also appreciate to have other perspectives on the downvotes (pure curiosity and trying to understand)

Unix tends to be ridiculously permissive with allowed characters in file names. On Linux, the only disallowed characters are NUL and the slash, and they are only disallowed because they have a special meaning (string terminator and path separator).

AFAIK, MacOS X also disallows NUL and slash, but IIRC its GUI silently switches slash (Unix path separator) with colon (which IIRC was the MacOS 9 path separator). So, if you were to migrate to OS X instead of to Windows (and if my knowledge is correct) you'd just have to replace the / with a : and the users wouldn't even notice.

Personal safety is an extension of not fitting it - it's hard to read the cues about who or what might be a threat to you as opposed to a mere annoyance. Of course one is unlikely* to face a physical threat in the workplace equivalent to heading to a dive bar surrounded by broken bottles, but your career risk is just an abstraction of the corporal risk and can be just as stressful.

* as a man anyway.

I've also experienced a great deal of both and I disagree with your read. It's easy to think up non-racial examples as well; someone who's gay in a frat-themed work environment, or a middle-class guy ending up at a bar populated by Hell's Angels or suchlike. The differences with race and gender, obviously, are that it's almost impossible to obscure those facts about yourself so you can't even fake that you fit in.

If this is the general quality of new code in the Neovim code base, I would be fairly worried.

In the first piece of code, which is apparently new to Neovim, there's a bug waiting to happen: casting size_t pointers to int pointers will fail on big-endian platforms where sizeof(size_t) != sizeof(int), and in general, the number of casts sprinkled everywhere is indicative of sloppy coding.

The whole area of code also seems to be poorly reimplementing iconv, which is actually supported in the code, but never enabled in Neovim for some reason, according to the footnote - why have two code paths to do the same thing?

I like Ayn Rand but don't agree on everything she said. But for the sake of argument let's say I agree with her 100%. So, then:

I use the company's money and time to work on my own Projects. I selfishly exploit stupid and weak that should die in the natural capitalistic process, but democratically elected Government didn't let it happen. I'm a parasite on the sick system because I want it to die. I don't see anything against Ayn Rand philosophy here. But then again, I'm not her cult follower or whatever.

And then being in this position I also see that the party can't go on forever and probably the day of reckoning will come. Most of these 300k employees wasting their time on BS jobs now, will eventually loose them. Maybe as soon as next year granted the FED raises interest rates substantially.

> And his reasoning around that was inanity disguised with high concept.

To elaborate: invoking the argument "you reduce to the Halting Problem, suxxor!" without some concrete examples of how the practical problem (i.e. ng-min implementation) encounters difficulties is disingenuous. It's not uncommon to be able to cover some very useful space of a real-world problem, skirting "inside" a problem which is theoretically limited by the Halting Problem or similar. Occasionally you hit a limitation in your algorithm and add a special case, further claiming practical territory from The NP-Complete Beast.

In this case, the strict di enforcement that baconner mentioned in this thread provides an escape hatch: if you're using ng-min while having di enforcement enabled, you'll at least get warned if something goes amiss. If so, add your manual DI annotations, maybe file an ng-min bug, and move along.
