While I think abandoning threading was originally a good move because it spawned (no pun intended) new methods of chaining callbacks together, I'm concerned that there is really no way out of callback hell by way of callbacks.

So I'm wondering if Node.js, Io.js or both will embrace coroutines, yield and generators. The real danger of threads was always shared memory, not so much simultaneous execution. I'm hoping that we'll start to see Go, Erlang and even shell-style piping of data through predictable, testable and debuggable threads of execution begin to replace callbacks.

If anyone has a general approach for converting callbacks to use coroutines and yield in Javascript, I'd be very eager to hear it. Also the problem of how to enforce scope in Javascript, to prevent sharing state between coroutines.
At ~$5/foot for sufficient gauges, this sounds like a rather expensive project.
A couple points:

* Ramstein is a large city unto itself with the proper security perimeters and provisions. Even if you get on the base itself, you're not going to walk into the fenced off drone ops area. Revealing it as the location/hub is not a major security issue.

* If the military cared enough, they would camouflage the tell-tale cookie cutter design of rows of trailers + satcom equipment from Google Maps, but they don't. Even the CIA doesn't seem to for its less-than-public UAV ops facilities in VA and the Middle East.

* Ramstein is already well-known as the hub of virtually everything US military going on in the other side of the world, from medical, to logistics, materiels, intelligence, etc.

Indeed. You can even see this disrespect in the memo Vidra circulated to TNR staff announcing Foer's replacement, Gabriel Snyder (http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/305975/franklin-foer-l...):

Gabriel is ideally suited to bridge traditional journalism and digital media... He truly reflects the “straddle generation” of journalists and editors who remain deeply rooted in the qualities of traditional journalism – having worked with brands such as the New York Observer and The Atlantic – but also understands what it takes to create content that will travel across all platforms.

"Straddle generation"? Seriously? The phrase practically drips with condescension, both for Snyder and the man he's replacing. "I'm completely digital, of course; but unlike Frank, Gabriel at least has one foot in reality."
I strongly disagree.

> It was the handful of very greedy politicians that relaxed the laws that allowed this to happen

This breaks down for two reasons. First, politicians relaxed the laws because they were bribed into it by lobbies. That's at least two handfuls of money-driven people at play here.

> "ordinary" traders, quants and managers at big banks had essentially nothing to do with the direction in which the world was headed, they were only there for the execution.

That's people who convinced poor and poorly-educated people to buy houses they couldn't afford. They tampered the accounting books. They outright lied to get more sales, and so on and so forth.

I don't know about you, but I would need to be extremely desperate (as in I can't feed my children) to resort to those tactics in exchange for money. These people were not in great need, and acted in that manner just because they are more money-driven than others who didn't (many of which lost their jobs because of it).

So yes, I honestly think that it was the fault of money-driven people in general from the very top to the street seller.

I've had the opposite experience. The mailing lists are friendly and, to the extent that I've seen people involved with the project claim superiority, it's in the very narrow context of scientific computing.

I learned recently that nearly ideal batteries already exist for the purpose of storing energy from solar: nickel-iron batteries (side note: Edison made more money from selling these batteries than from any other invention). They last a very long time (50 years), are durable (not damaged by full discharge) and can be made from cheap materials. The energy density is not high, but this is probably not a major issue for home energy storage.
My morning routine uses about 6-8 kW just in the kitchen for a small period of time:

1. Tea kettle, 2 kW

2. Microwave, 1 kW

3. Oven (cooking parbaked rolls for 8 minutes), 3-4 kW

4. The refrigerator may or may not go on during this period, ~0.5 kW if it does

Of course if really necessary I could be more careful with staggering my appliance usage. But as it currently stands I don't worry about using those kinds of power loads for short periods of time.
Does the sharing economy have a place in biotech?
For a counterpoint, it should be considered that coal would be a lot more expensive if externalities were accounted for. Coal power poisons the atmosphere, the water, and the land, and kills thousands of people each year. If you account for those costs, coal becomes substantially less attractive, but most places allow power producers to avoid paying for a lot of those costs.

That doesn't mean you're wrong, of course. Coal has tremendous inertia, and accounting for externalities is hard. But the ubiquity of coal is partly due to a cheapness which is somewhat illusory, and we'd be better off if we accounted for it properly which would naturally push alternatives harder.

To be fair, you're talking about a third distinction in the eyes of utilities. They typical tier pricing by residential, commercial and industrial. It's not uncommon for commercial power to be more expensive than residential, but it's extremely uncommon for industrial power to cost more.

That tweet irritates me. It doesn't make any sense. What King killed people at the red wedding? The only king there was the one getting stabbed. And none of the murdering at the Red Wedding required or featured any substantial display of 'balls'. It was actually quite a cowardly act. You would think an editor at a prestigious (I'm assuming from the article - I've never read TNR) magazine would either be aware of what actually happened in the fictional event he is referencing or be above shoehorning in pop culture references for their own sake.

100A out of 48V requires a resistance of 0.48 Ω.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_shock#Body_resistance

Amps, as such, are not dangerous unless we are talking about a current source. But practical current sources regulate their output to a given current value by varying their voltage (so it's back to voltage again).

That said, 48V is high enough to be dangerous. See Oli Gaser's answer:

But in that case you can downsize a lot, because you only need to produce 10% of the normal electricity, and then charge, say, twice the amount your normally charge for the usage, perhaps reducing it to 8% or so.

That is still a higher rate of return than you would normally get, which makes it a better investment.
Personally I work with monthly billing, and infrequently with weekly billing, so my experience is mostly with those two formats.

> Do you mean that you always dedicate full days to a customer, and will always invoice them full days, even if you don't work all the time?

When I'm on a monthly contract, it means "I will spend time this month doing X and Y to help your company achieve goal Z." There is no mention at all about hours. Nor does the actual time spent doing X and Y affect the rate. In any given month I am helping multiple companies reach various goals.

Some may wonder: "So how in the world does the client know you're actually doing anything?" Well, if after a month or two we're not any closer to goal Z, then I'd be out of work.

Not only does this turn the conversation toward ROI and real business value instead of counting hours, but it also gives both the consultant and company predictability: The company knows how much it needs to budget each month towards goal Z, and I can plan expenses ahead of time instead of living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Depends on the type of capacity. I gather that peaking power is typically provided by gas combustion turbines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine#Industrial_gas_tur...), which have much lower capital costs and much higher operating costs (including maintenance). But if you need more baseline, then, yeah, you're going to be spending a lot of money, although I'd expect modern gas powered baseline plants to be relatively cheap (don't ask about nuclear, and fuel handling is much easier than coal, plus coal is nasty dirty stuff that needs exhaust cleaning, and disposal of ash).

> "Blaming the Iraq war for their dislike of us is about as silly as it gets, they didn't like us before."

Actually, I'd love to hear a better explanation for the Iraq war. Because I've not heard one that wasn't silly.

Iraqi's didn't like us and didn't like us before? Have you met many Iraqis? Remember this was a relatively modern, westernish country. The average Iraqi liked america, our freedom, and wish they could be liberated from Saddam. (this is not a justification for the war with Iraq, in my mind, but neither is the 9/11 event which involved Saudis and had no apparent connection to Iraq.)

How about Iranians. Do you think Iranians hate westerners? Reports from people visiting Iran, and the Iranians I have known disagree with that position. Again, also a relatively modern society, though with an even more religious government than Iraq.

I think you might be making the mistake that many make of conflating the views of "leaders" (often self described) or "government" with "the people".

On the other hand, take an individual Iraqi or Afghani father, who lost his wife and kids to a drone attack that only killed civilians. Do you think he might hate america? Quite possibly. But that was not "before", that is only "since" the drone attacks started.

I imagine there are many kids who were teenagers who lost their fathers and or mothers to drone attacks in the last 10 years who will grow up to hate americans, and some of them may turn out to be terrorists.

The "War on terrorism" is using tactics that create terrorists.

Double negatives aside, I tend to agree with you. I haven't done much frontend programming, but am about to undertake a medium sized project architected as a single page webapp. So my perspeftive in evaluating these frameworks is one of a fairly experienced non-frontend programmer. I can learn one easily, it's just a question of which I want to learn.

I looked at Angular and I really like the composability of directives. It seems like frontend frameworks have been maturing along a trend of composability. First jquery was popular because it eased the pain of manipulating individual elements of the DOM, then backbone was (and still is) popular because it introduced reactive components at a time when server side JS was growing in popularity, so it was a natural fit. Recently, angular grew in popularity for the same reactive advantages. There's something really attractive about the idea of cleanly separated code for each physical element/region on a page. That's why people liked directives, and angular was definitely onto something.

However, it seems like React accomplishes all of the same feats as angular, and offers the same advantages, but does it in a much cleaner fashion. JSX is far more intuitive than the Angular directive syntax, yet maintains all the composability advantages. It also has a natural place in a full stack arxhitecture if you choose to drink the look aid and implement a flux-like design. To me, React seems like the next step in the evolution of reactive frontend frameworks. Angular is the homo erectus to React's homo sapiens. :)

If you're starting a new project now, it seems to make far more sense to go with react over angular, especially if you're primarily interested in the east composability patterns. Also, the momentum in developer communities is clearly trending toward React, especially with the recent changes announced for Angular, and the continually improving support of react.

I was also introduced to Pete Hunt, core contributor to react, a few years ago. He was smart as hell and honestly that's enough of a reason for me to prefer React over Angular.
That's because it's a Web platform API, not a language feature.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I think those "reasonable judicial interpretations" represent a gutting of the 4th amendment.

The writers specified "persons, houses, papers, and effects" as protected - in other words, everything they could think of in their day. For every one of those things, they said that the government needed probable cause and a warrant.

Today, our persons nearly always carry trackable devices. Our houses are where we search the web and video chat with loved ones. Our papers and effects are files, which we back up over the cloud. Most conversations we have are digital.

It is impossible to function in modern society without giving lots of data to third parties as a side effect. All of this is tracked, recorded, stored and analyzed without cause or warrants.

If it's claimed that the 4th amendment covers the grocery list in my pocket, but none of the my truly sensitive data, then I say it's a fat lot of good.

With interpretations like those, why bother having laws at all?
There's a general bigger picture perspective that goes something like this: "Government is a disease masquerading as it's own cure." EG: Government creates problems in order to justify more power by claiming it needs the power (or money) to solve the problem.

It's not just the War on Terror. The war on drugs has had a similar effect -- drug enforcement focusing on importation, incentivizes more concentrated drugs allowing for profit per pound in smuggling operations. These drugs happen to also be more addictive. Cocoa Leaves -> Cocaine -> Crack

In fact, I submit you can probably find a similar effect in every "grand effort" at the federal level that gets called a "war".

The thing is there are better languages that solve the same problems PHP solves at the same speed or faster. This is why Ruby become so popular.

Javascript is a sad story though, it's an abysmal language (even with ES6, though that does make things better) but it enjoys a monopoly over the browser runtime space.

I think asking why anyone would start a new project in PHP is a very reasonable thing to ask.

If you want quick and dirty there is Ruby + Sinatra, Python + Flask or Go + Martini.
All of which are safer, have less 'quirks' as you say and are all faster.
None of them require any more work than the current PHP alternatives.

PHP may be superior to some languages in some regards, but it's definitely no longer the king of the hill of prototyping languages.
