They could interpret the input data differently.

For example, a decimal mark difference[1] between locales (like comma instead of a period in floating point numbers) could yield bad results.

+1, witness how the company needs changed from generalists to specialists.

The experience is probably quite frustrating since every specialist they hire is supposed to handle their aspect of specialization better than you (otherwise why hire them?) - the support manager probably has better and more complicated pipelines for support, the ops guy probably owns various issues that were put on the backburner before.

Wrong way to think about it is try to squeeze yourself into a specialist position, and then keep wondering how did things get to be so bad.

Some right ways to think about it would include addressing some areas where specialization is missing (research? next-gen architectures?) or just moving on (to a different place).
This reminds me - that developer shortage that the big SF companies keep going on about, needing h1b indentured servants working a third under market value to fill positions - ever consider how there are a billion iOS games made every day in a hugely saturated market? You know, thousands of developers and dev companies not making any money. Probably good at what they do if they are upstarting their own projects like that. Might consider working for you if you aren't fixing wages for a decade.

> Does that matter whether the government is enforcing the monopoly through excesive coverage requirement or through limiting cable laying rights?

The original contention was not that the government is helping to perpetuate the monopoly, it's that the cable companies were using special privileges in an anti-competitive way. There's no special privileges, and if you look at e.g. Verizon's tussle with Baltimore, they're not the ones lobbying for excessive coverage requirements.

I don't know why the solution to government policies that discourage competition isn't getting rid of those policies.
Small world: My grandparents have lived there for a fair length of time. I remember driving by the county courthouse where a klan rally was being held in the mid 2000's with a Grand Wizard in red robes and everything. I've been told that the county/town even had a celebration when the census came back with no minorities at one point. As such, it's no stretch of my imagination what kind of gray areas the law enforcement in that area is in.
> However, when building new technology Apple often unfortunately neglected their own design history.

One might argue that good designers and designs move on as they co-evolve. This "new" design is a nice piece of borderline-functional retro chique, but apart from being thin it hardly qualifies as futuristic or practical from our perspective today.

As components shrink, people expect the display to become the only visible component of the computer - and Apple is clearly on that path. I would consider it the right path from a usability as well as a design perspective.
Being a Kiwi, decided I better confirm what the story was here in New Zealand.

As with US and Canada 'truth' is a defence against defamation here also: http://www.medialawjournal.co.nz/?page_id=273

"The publisher will succeed with a defence of truth if it can prove, on the balance of probabilities, that the story was true. Minor errors may be excused, but not those that go to the heart of the defamatory sting or stings."

So guess you can add NZ to the list, but there are no doubt others - how about France, Australia, Austria.. Senegal?

Perhaps it is actually the UK that is the outlier in this regard?
I could use it for masturbation, but as a transman I don't have 'equipment' that most straight women are looking for.

I'd really like to be able to have sex, the way cis-gender men and women do and have sensation with it. I'd also love to get a blowjob and be able to feel it.

With a double sided toy that transmit sensations, this starts to enter the realm of possibility without requiring major, and expensive, surgery.
How does a 1.0.0 translate to beta-stability build?
I have no idea why this is US only other than Google just being extremely lazy. Previously I've always understood why companies couldn't release products internationally or at least in their own continent when it came to rights for content, however I really don't see any reason for this one.

If it's an issue of not wanting to deal with certain country top-levels then so be it and simply offer the ones you've implemented already and add in more top levels in the future.
hard to argue with that changeset
I think one of the worst things to happen to indie devs on mobile was the concept of the App Store(s) itself.

I'm old enough to remember mobile dev before the App Store(s). No matter how bad they are, they are thousands or times better than how it used to be.

For example, typical returns to a developer back when you had to sell via a Telco was less than 30% of the price the consumer paid. And you felt lucky to get that 30% - that was a high point of the whole experience.

Heck, Bill and Steve bought QDOS from Tim Paterson for that exact amount, and resold it to IBM for use as PC-DOS.

Maybe they needed your $50k to help finance the purchase.

Tip to anyone rolling out a library and wanting others to start using it: It'd be helpful if the home page or the FAQ explained what io.js actually does and why a developer might want to explore it further. "Bringing ES6" is only helpful if you know what ES6 is and have already decided it's something you need. Likewise, the FAQ simply says io.js is compatible with Node.js and npm, but that doesn't give you much to work with. Can someone who knows the project explain the benefits?
As I understand it, the io.js devs think Node.js should have switched to 1.x ("stable") a long time ago. But from their perspective, this is io.js's first release with their own build infrastructure and they made a lot of aggressive changes (updated V8 dependency, etc.), so they're calling their own release beta-quality. Makes sense?
It came from observing the amount of users claiming to have left from Bitbucket to Github within the thread. I've been following it for months but it has been active since 2013-07-17, 131 comments on it so far and it seems to be only getting more vocal.

You can say that to any firm then. Given our razor thin profit margins, the pricing is there for a reason. The coupon codes are also there simply to sweeten the deal.

Bear in mind the products we're mostly represent cost a low $10. If we had more wiggle room on pricing, we'd offer low pricing all the time. It's just not feasible for a business like ours to do 24/7.
They need to at least stop ISPs from manipulating smaller state agencies and local authorities into keeping competition out. There needs to be some blanket policy opening up fiber laying to anyone capable and willing, in addition to the dissolution of (I'd prefer all) spectrum ownership to enable more wireless deployment and adoption.
Good to know, thanks for the insight.

...Okay, normally I roll my eyes at people asking "What does this do" but Christ this is ridiculous.

From the FAQ:

> What is io.js?

> io.js is a JavaScript platform that is compatable with Node.js & npm.

What does that even mean?

Edit: Thanks for those answering. I started figuring out what it was, but sometimes folks really need to learn that "A correct definition" is not the same as "a useful definition". However, if it's as cool as described, definitely might give it a shot.

Edit2: Is this expected to be as stable as Node.js consistently? And how solid is the upgrade path- is it going to be a pain upgrading between versions the way Node used to be, or is there a smoother upgrade process? I guess what I'm wondering is, do I get any benefit from using this right now, or would it be smart to still wait for whatever version they consider release quality?

As someone who tries as hard as they can to avoid project politics and the like: is this the new Node.js? By which I mean I know it isn't the Node project, but where is most of the mindshare these days? Is io.js a small offshoot or has it taken most of the Node devs with it? Or is it the same code just with a more aggressive release schedule?

Also, when do we go back to one executable already?
Speaking as a bystander who mainly reads blogs, my perception of Kafka is that it's marketing (for lack of a better term) has successfully positioned it with "we can keep your arbitrarily large logs" and "they are pretty durable, consumers can revisit them if they fall behind".

This offers a nice distinction from MQ-ish systems, where the emphasis seems to be on a different set of benefits like "we can handle complex centralized distribution logic for you" and "we help manage your synchronous calls".

Does that seem accurate in terms of how Kafka is evolving its future niche? Personally, I'm interested in optimistic-locking when adding to a log.
In a gist, io.js is node.js with faster release cycles using more up-to-date versions of V8 along with an open governance

It's basically a fork of nodejs
Google's v8 is the JavaScript. io.js provides APIs for performing disk and network io, using v8.
Almond milk doesn't have MCTs in it (important for mitochondrial function), and regular milk also doesn't AND should not be consumed because it is pasteurized which produces denatured proteins and is linked to cancer, and it is also full of various (natural and unnatural) hormones that interact oddly with humans (because, lets face it, we're not baby cows), plus there is also all of that lactose content.
It's a fork of node.js with ES6 support. The goal is a faster release cycle and an updated V8 engine, plus an "open governance model" as opposed to Joyent's domination of node.js prime.

Maybe each comparison could be done via a tweet request.
I think it is probably too soon to answer that question since this is the first release available for devs to start playing around with.
io.js is a fork/continuation of Node.js "unstable" 0.11.x branch. Node.js stable, under Joyent's stewardship, has been stuck in 0.10.x land for over a year.

io.js has many of the top core Node.js contributors. They're trying to move server-side JavaScript forward with open governance, faster release cycles, ES6, etc.
Two paths I followed when I faced similar growth issues:

1- Time to create company product #2. Ask for a tiger tea, break out of the hierarchy, and have fun building something from scratch.

2- Move on. Find a great idea or another co-founder, and repeat the startup experience in another startup.

I've done both of these paths. Both can work. Both play on the strength of a generalist who can get a company off the ground, but then who doesn't fit into the subsequent culture of a growth-stage company.
A friend of mine may have an annotated reversed source for the 6809. If you really need it I can put you in touch. You'll probably need to change the code a bit to assemble it on a 'standard' 6809 assembler, we rolled our own. He's a worse data packrat than I am, his house probably qualifies as a computer museum and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he still had a collection of files from those days.
"in north-central Georgia"

While this sentence is technically a correct description, it conveys the impression that Doraville is a rural town which it certainly isn't (Doraville is "ITP" - inside I-285).
In this case the change is significant. If you just cut squares you can do quite a bit and it leads to significant ideas related to continued fractions, but you will only get finite continued fractions (rational numbers) and periodic ones (quadratic numbers). Cutting rectangles and squares can give higher degree algebraic numbers, like the cubic number for the main spiral. I am working on a porrf that you can get all algebraic numbers.
OP: sorry to nitpick, but the proper capitalization is 'io.js'.
The Next Step: The realities of funding a startup
Cops make crazy money. A relative is a lieutenant, make $120k, and overtime brings that up to almost $200k. If he doesn't make the next promotion in a year or two, he'll be retiring at 42 making around $100k.

Unless you work for some hick department, a cop will easily make more than 80% in coders outside of the Bay Area, and unlike in software, you don't get nuked when you get old. That said, it's a brutal job that takes a toll on you.
I know how you feel, there are many great engineers out there in the same situation. I think you might be turning the corner to be a founder. You know what needs to be done to scale a company to success the question is can you do it for yourself or just for others ?
Ugh makes me want to ralph
Basically anything you can do in Node.js you can do in Io.js. It's nothing that really breaks backwards compatibility. The benefits of Io.js over Node.js is that it'll have a faster release cycle bringing in newer versions of V8 JavaScript Engine, allowing you to use newer features of that in your code.

In Node.js to use ES6 you would have to use the --harmony flag to enable them because the version of V8 that is used is so old. Whereas in Io.js anything V8 deems stable is available in Io.js without having to use the --harmony flag.

This is my biggest fear when using anything Google-related.

They are notoriously difficult to get in touch with, and as such I probably wouldn't even considering signing up for this service.

Getting access to a real person when there is a problem with one of my domains is very valuable to me.
"This package will install io.js v1.0.0 and npm v2.1.18 into /usr/local/. The binary /usr/local/bin/iojs will also be symlinked as /usr/local/bin/node."

Why the symlinking as node?
I really like it's human curated.

I find too many of the sites are just a link dump which eventually turn to spam or old links
I was blown away by that comic when I first saw it.
You're right that the page linked in OP needs improvement. The phrase to focus on is this:

> io.js is an npm compatible platform originally based on node.js

It's not a library, it's a platform that's based on node.js. It's more or less a fork of node or "spork" as they call it.

The github repo is a bit more clear: https://github.com/iojs/io.js

The main point seems to be that it's run on an open governance model: https://github.com/iojs/io.js/blob/v1.x/GOVERNANCE.md
how would one go about deploying (say on Heroku) an iojs app?
Dolphin Browser released its new version 11.3.7
Because Io.js is a Node.js replacement, but most of the time you're probably going to instinctively type `node script.js` and not `iojs script.js` so the symlink is just a helper.
As horrible as police brutality it, it still directly hurts less than ~20% of society (more in some really bad areas, less in others). So only those, plus the few percent of others who have a sense of compassion, are opposed to the brutality. The rest are either ignorant or complicit or in cognitir dissonance.
I don't understand this kind of dismissal. So what if he did?

Maybe the innovation is considering this kind of thing as art again when it's passe.

@cubano oh, man, your story struck a nerve with me. I did exactly the same thing. A friend and I would ride our bikes to a shopping mall about 5 miles away to hack on commodore 64 and, others up in Hudson's department store. Hudson's use to have a small electronics area where they mostly sold stereo equipment but they had 3-4 tables setup with computers on them. We saved our programs to cassette tapes. I was bitten by the computer bug the summer War Games came out. The local movie theater was auctioning off a commodore 64 so the same friend and I went to the movie theatre every day, took home a stack of contest entry forms, filled them out, went back and stuffed them in the box. Never won anything. It was probably another year before my paper route gave me the $300 I needed to buy my first computer.

As I read this post I thought the same thing as you; how fascinating it was to see the actual code that ran many of my programs.

In my time, I got into BBS software and assembler and I find myself copying the BASIC Emulator out of ROM and studying it.

anyway, it's just so cool to read posts by so many people that thought the same way.
I didn't comment on battery life because it is almost impossible to measure since it depends on many factors. Charging time on the other hand is easy to measure. The Galaxy S5 charges very quickly compared to other phones. I'm not suggesting that you are lying but that your charger probably didn't let the phone charge as fast as it can.
-d:release disables bounds checking, so the Rust examples would have to be modified for unchecked indexing for a fair comparison.
Worth pointing out that HIPAA/HITECH[1] explicitly states that the fee can only include:

Page 107: "covered entity may impose a reasonable, cost-based fee"

- the cost of labor of copying (*not* the time spent gathering the record)
- cost of materials used (paper, toner, CDs)
- postage (if requested to be mailed)
- preparation of a summary (if requested by patient)

Section 2i (effective as of Sept 2013) of that same page says an institution must provide the record in an electronic format specified by the patient if it is readily reproducible. That's part of what we are banking on with Prime[2].

It seems many hospitals and clinics are overcharging in the former case and most have not yet had a lot of exposure to the latter. (Which should necessarily reduce cost, because time and media costs are lower with digital.)

Because you're using EB and Docker, I'm not sure Dploy is right for you, but it's worth looking into.

I believe you can run arbitrary commands after you commit to a particular branch, which would allow you to run your tests.

If any of your commands exit with a failure code, the deploy is halted and you're notified via email.

(You can also set the deployments to be manual, allowing you to commit to e.g. "release" without anything happening until you want it to.)
The defense can object to letting him explain his libertarian viewpoints if they can convince the judge it is not relevant to the case or charges. Which the prosecutor in this case directly attempted during pretrial last month:

> They’re worried that the jury might end up sympathizing with Ulbricht’s politics.

I said 2 things in very first comment. I never claimed rust doesn't have select. This is quoted from my very first comment in this thread,

AFAIK, rust also doesn't allow selecting between a send and receive on channels. It only allows selecting over a set of receivers and even there it doesn't offer something like the default clause of Go's select statement.

Perhaps you should try to read my comments in their entirety before making accusations.

Yes I missed sync_channel, but if that is all CSP was, Java does CSP too. It has Threads and SynchronousQueue exactly like rust 1.0 will.
