Just from (UK) insurer Aviva's health insurance policy:

"We don’t cover treatment of pre-existing conditions or related conditions if you had symptoms of, medication for, treatment for or advice about that condition in the five years before your joining date."

It wouldn't take much for companies to start requiring that you disclose the knowledge you're at (high?) risk of something and adjusting their prices accordingly - particularly in long term policies.

Edit: I probably should have said life insurance. Health insurance isn't (entirely) necessary in the UK thanks to the NHS. But imagine the premiums on a life insurance policy if they knew you had a high certainty of something difficult or incurable?
Not yet. I'm sure there are others working on it too.
I don't think this is relevant in this case; I don't see how vector fields matter in a turn-based strategy game where all movement is quantized.

Yeah, but their system is super simplistic and doesn't support half of the diverse and robust operations that Git and Github do. Can I see version history? Are changes compressed into diffs for text files? etc, etc.

This looks like a good approach to dealing with heterogeneous JSON! (ie, JSON that has an unknown and/or variable structure.) I've always found encoding/json a little clunky for this.

Shameless but relevant plug - if you do know the structure of your JSON in advance, I wrote a tool for automatically generating the appropriate struct definition for it: https://github.com/ChimeraCoder/gojson

(I see these as complimentary tools, rather than conflicting or competing, since they would have two different use cases).
No, but I don't understand what this is. Java git? Bound to eclipse? I don't really understand how this would be different than me storing a .git repo locally and replicating it to S3.
The Problem with Prostate Screening
So I'm not the least bit familiar with XML, (so ignore me if this doesn't make sense) but why do we need the <html:*> part of the element?

This seems like a great idea but if it requires all that redundancy ( <html:html> ) I have trouble seeing this used in practice.
What if your data are formatting in text? Why would branching be any more expensive for data than for code then?

IMO you should commit your composer.lock file up to your repository and then use composer.phar install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader on any production instance. Install is much faster and uses hardly any memory compared to the update command.

To add/update any dependencies for your project run the composer.phar update on your development environment or somewhere it can use a ton of memory and cpu without issue. Then just commit and push up your composer.lock changes. Been doing it this way for over a year and had no issues deploying changes in ec2.
Is this significantly different from that guy who goes around putting gold coins in Salvation Army buckets?
Pretty sure they pay UK VAT on physical goods. This article is referring to the changes in VAT for digital goods.

By the way, physical books are vat-free in the UK (presumably because it is seen as a good thing to encourage people to read), whereas e-books have always been standard VAT in the UK, making e-books less competitive.

Is there anything preventing you from using non-native elements right now? I mean the <html:html> weirdness aside... can't modern browsers just recognize current <weird><tags> and process them as such? Why not just have HTML keywords be hands off for your app and then do your own thing with the element syntax? That's what Angularians are doing.
A Facebook Director Explains Why the Best Modern Design Is Invisible
This is all already possible with current HTML, except for the namespace stuff (Which is too verbose, and was ditched after the failed XHTML effort, since it never really caught on anyway).

You can already create your own custom HTML tags with the `document.registerElement()` API. And then use all the semantic elements you want. You can even add custom rendering and logic to then via the shadow DOM.

There's a lot of existing elements you can already use: http://customelements.io

Browser support is not 100% there yet, but http://polymer-project.org provides a polyfill that works on IE9+.

Sounds like a great way to skew immigration in favour of big business and completely screw over start ups and SMBs.
The ring of integers modulo 7 is also a field. While fields are (trivially) UFDs, the only non-field class of examples of UFDs having every nonzero element as a power of a fixed nonzero nonunit element is a (rank 1) discrete valuation ring.
I don't think it's branching. From what I understand, it's changing the file. Rather than storing a diff for non-text files, it just keeps the old versions around. So if you store a lot of binary files that change very often, it makes your repo huge.

We had this problem before we moved to a dependency manager. Our repo was almost 2gb, even though the checked out code was well under 1gb.
To be honest, I actually think it is something (medical) to do with my eyesight. I have poor eyesight in one eye, and a bit better on the other. I also have astigmatism in both eyes.
Not for their hosted version management solution, I assume.
I think the difference may be it isn't the effect on 'other people' it is the effect on 'you'.

I find it is a lot like art in that way, some pieces really move people and other people can see the same piece and say 'meh'. The trick is to understand that while the art doesn't do anything for you, it really is doing something for them.

Having raised kids and watched their interaction the "interesting" bit is that person A who is unmoved by exhibit E, imputes that person B is "making it up" when they express emotion about exhibit E. It isn't "made up" or imagined of course, but it takes a while for kids to realize that everyone's perception of the world around them is different, sometimes wildly so. Often that learning comes when they personally experience seeing meaning in something that someone else doesn't.

Once you understand that everyone sees things a bit differently you can appreciate their sense of wonder even if you don't share it.

I can't really agree on this point ... Seeing plain stars only works if the people who watch them already have knowledge about them, basic understanding of the involved distances, etc. It is this knowledge that help you put things into perspective, not seeing the stars themselves. There is ample evidence in early written accounts and from the writing of young people that without any knowledge at all about what stars "really are" they can be moved by seeing them.

It's entirely possible right now — we just need it to mature.
Weekend projects certainly, but I'd still off from doing anything super serious because there are still a few breaking changes waiting in the wings (such as the finishing touches on closure reform), as well as a few potential last-minute syntax tweaks that are still being considered (though if accepted those should be trivial enough to migrate via an automated tool).
Is DevOps just another word for system administration?
Agreed. It's strange to read these kinds of articles. The author doesn't seem to realize that he is describing his own personal preferences, and not anything about society at large. All you need to do is look at the top recipients of visas and you will understand what the game is.
Sometimes if the parasite moves from host to host as part of it's life cycle, and this can include aiding the death of one host. An example of this is a parasite that causes frogs to grow extra legs so that they are easier to catch for birds. The parasite then transfers to the bird, where it can lay it's eggs.

Call it XHTML 2.0 or something like that. Calling your experiment HTML6 is a terrible idea.

Terrible because not only it disrupts completely on how HTML matured, but also because there won't be any more HTML versions from now on; HTML is now a living versionless standard.

Sorry, my intention is not to just bash your idea. I personally disliked it because it resembles xml, something that I learned to hate. But that's me.

But please, don't call it HTML6.

They have 31 blocking issues to take care of before 1.0 is a possibility: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/milestones/1.0

The project has 2,100 open issues and 8,500 closed issues.

The stability more or less comes down to the community moving away from targeting nightly, and that can only happen when all of the fires are put out. There are still a lot of breaking changes and clean-up being done in the final hour.

Some people consider stable to mean that the language is "production ready", which often implies a complete set of common libraries. There is still a lot of work to be done in this regard after 1.0. Doing the nightly build whack-a-mole is too frustrating for many, though, so 1.0 will help a lot for developing the ecosystem that a "public ready" language needs.

Pricing a scarce resource doesn't "screw over" anyone.
Just some observations from me. Looks interesting, but I'm already using docker on OSX, would like to try it out but don't want to run the installer and have it mess up my current boot2docker setup. If there was a version that had no installer, or could be configured to hit an existing docker server that would be nice. Bonus if it supported TLS, many of the docker tools barely support TLS currently.
The thing is that a highly paid intern in no way refutes the argument that immigration is about cheap labor. The argument is that 1) because domestic labor is expensive companies want to increase H1B's as a way to decrease cost 2) if you didn't mind paying more you could find domestic labor. The highly paid intern is an point in favor of #1.

Nothing in the article disputes the basic economics of #2. Sure there is competition for talent, there is competition in every facet of business. The trick is to find the ratio between how much value a business extracts from a resource and how much value the business provides to the resource; that ratio needs to stay above 1.

I'll note that in common usage, PHP does not exit entirely at the end of every HTTP request. (By default, PHP-FPM never exits between requests.) You would, at the least, have to keep track of all live objects and delete them at the end of each request... which sounds like a garbage collector to me.

Hi,

I do not have windows box to crosscompile any longer. I did test go 1.4 rc2 with CGO_ENABLED=0, which builds a static binary, and it gives -

addr: [74.125.192.118 2607:f8b0:4001:c00::76]

Are you seeing different behavior? Please describe...I'll see if I can look into it.
Paypal will be added soon, but adding PayPal (and Amazon + other payment options) limits the ability for us to enable recurring donations for the org/cause/charity, which has become a significant capital raise mechanism for non profits in the last few years. That checkbox is one of the most well received features that is right out of the box.
Some good ideas here but some terrible ones as well. First, <html:whatever> is terrible. We don't need namespaces in HTML (or in XML for that matter, but that's a different story). <media type="image"> would be sufficient. Even better, something like this:

<media type="image">
<src href="/foo.png">
<src href="/foo-2x.png" type="high-definition">
</media>

I do like the idea of not having generic <div>'s everywhere. You can already do this with, for example, Angular. Basically, aside from the pre-defined elements (div, span, input, etc.) I want to just use whatever element I choose myself. I should then be able to style it how I want, and by default it can be, let's say, a borderless, 0 margin, 0 padding, transparent, block element. That way I can use add <wrapper> and style it how I want. Saves keystrokes. This gets me into trouble if later browsers decide to actually support <wrapper> with different semantics than I intended, but I am sure we could work around this somehow without resorting to <html:wrapper> namespacing.

Lastly, I really would love to be able to define element behavior. I want to say that <calendar> is a link, until you click on it, then it opens a calendar, and fires such and such events, etc. Basically, instead of adding a script tag to the base template that defines how $('.calendar') should work, I want to define it globally, a la Angular's directives, then have this happen for the entire site. If the browser allowed me to have finer grained control over user input (exact keystrokes, position of cursor, etc.), I could then re-create <input type="text">! You might say "well, we already have that, the browser does it", but the beauty of doing it yourself is that you can define more complex rules for it than just "type in text". You could, for example, easily define the format of it without having to resort to ugly hacks (think a mm/dd/yyyy type input, or an insurance subscriber ID with a very specific format).

How would you say the stability of this release compares to the last version?

I understand it's very new software, but the last version I played with (1-2 weeks ago) was incredibly buggy. Not just in terms of core functionality (hanging packages etc - some of which I see you have addressed https://github.com/kitematic/kitematic/milestones/v0.4.0) but just in terms of the general UI, buttons randomly disappearing/appearing.

I was/am really looking forward to using this but the bugginess did not give me a lot of confidence that the behind the scenes logic was behaving as expected.

I suspect our experience is indeed different. :)

I've had the good fortune of working with good programmers doing performance critical C and C++ for a hobby project--the time spent in design has paid off, and the codebase is a joy to work with. Sadly, the code has yet to see the light of day, because reasons. For the purpose of "get game project finished", more bad code faster probably would've been better, though we would've had to rewrite it anyways.

As for the rest, I've been in a few shops now where people who should've known better (or who didn't!) have written klocs and klocs of unmaintainable poorly-performing garbage and who subscribe to the "code owner" philosophy. The result is, of course, that you can't fix or even organize their messy fiefdoms, and so there is no peace-of-mind to be had that the code works. And yet, the businesses still trundle along to this day despite what is probably stage 4 cancer of the IP.

Maybe it's just Stockholm syndrome. I kind of feel like an abused puppy every time I have to look at that code and fight, for hours and weeks, to do something as basic as "Hey, maybe we should try both debug and release targets!"

godep or glide, though hackish, appear interesting. The CoreOS devs have also been contributing back to godep for that reason [1], which is a plus. There's also a good discussion here [2] on that very topic.

Last I checked godep, the only thing I didn't like was the weird things you had to do with your project layout, but the way ahead is promising (and maybe it's not so bad now). Certainly it's much better than gopkg.in.

Though I do agree. It would be nice to have this sort of tooling as part of the Go distribution.
