It doesn't help at all. We did that in the US with George Bush's 2008 tax rebates. Getting a check was nice, but I'm pretty sure the economic boost was smaller than the cost to the government.
Your statement about Germnay refusing to allow imports is manifestly false. The EU is a free trade area and its member states are not permitted to engage in such activities. The EU has its own courts to enforce such rules.

It's certainly true that Germany is a net exporter: this is because of their ability and competitiveness in engineering and technology, combined with the fact that Germans are not big consumers and prefer to save their money. It would be good for Europe as a whole if Germans spent more money on imports - but the idea that they are deliberately blocking imports is bogus.

Europe doesn't really have neoliberals, so I'm not sure what your point is there. If anything, Europe leans to the left.

If you want to find a country with a long history of ignoring debt, then look no further than Greece, which has defaulted over 20 times. It is a country in deep need of structural reforms in order to have a viable economy. Yet the reforms haven't happened, due to corruption, cronyism and general foot-dragging. This is the real problem and debt-reduction isn't going to solve it.
Slovaks are from Slovakia. (Greece also has a lower GDP/PPP per capita than Slovakia, though Greece's GDP is much higher in nominal terms.)
I had the same experience. Still don't get it.

The body of the post doesn't support the title's recommendation. Each section shows how ES6 either has an equivalent feature to CoffeeScript, or almost does; in other words, it is approaching feature parity.

To replace one tool with another, you need a compelling reason...and "it's almost at feature parity" is not that.

Im actually embedding this in place of leveldb, in a project im working, because i just want a compact db file, and not several like leveldb use to do, and giving the benchmarks are saying this is even faster, its a plus..

But i was just worried about the api using void pointers to represent heap state like db, cursor, etc.. im not a security expert but isnt that considered harmful? giving it could be used as a cursor to point to any arbitrary memory address by a black hat? (or that work just if the handle points to a invalid address? in a bug for instance?)
Yeah, that is probably a good suggestions. But in relation to a small doctors office as in the OP's case, probably not worth doing anything beyond getting a decent front-end developer to make a brochure site.

I expected that Germans might be sympathetic to a country whose economically struggling population are turning, in electorally significant numbers, to Fascism.
There is no 1GB limit. I think you might be confused about compute units? Compute units are just a measure of RAM usage over time -- a compute unit is 1GB of RAM used for one hour. An app can use more than 1GB of RAM; it will just consume compute units faster. E.g. an app using 2GB will consume a compute unit in 30 minutes.

This all relates to our upcoming managed hosting. Self-hosted installs are not metered since it's your own hardware.

Here's one I found a while back:

https://github.com/usablica/intro.js
Unfortunately, because of the article's brevity, I find the article attempts to (but ultimately fails to) emphasize the details/reasons behind a key point enough. It might be this article was written for a more general audience.

The key point I'm referring to is that many of the developments of modern databases are really expansions on ideas that were invented back in the 1960's but have been re-invented in the distributed world, to handle higher data volumes and advances in hardware/software capabilities.

For example, the article overlooks (and most seem to overlook) a critical technology known as multivalue databases, which are mid-1960's technology, predate relational systems, and share a lot in common with more recent NoSQL systems in terms of the persistence paradigms. The main difference is that multivalue databases were centralized systems and not distributed - but data volumes were a lot smaller back then compared to the volumes we have now.

I bet most would be surprised to know that Pick/D3, a legacy multivalue database, was an integrated operating system, database and programming language, and that it contained a "SQL" like query language (without joins, aggregates, etc. - very simplistic) as well as attempts at natural language query-like utilities. Pick/D3, in particular, lost out to the relational players in the 70s and beyond for a multitude of reasons. That said, it and technology like it (MUMPs, for example) are still alive and running systems today. Intersystems Cache, for example had interesting concepts that mixed object-relational mappings and SQL queries on top of a system that started as something resembling a persistent multi-dimensional array, MUMPs.

In the context of the history that I understand, everything is an evolution in thinking for data storage, data volumes, persistence, networking, data access techniques, etc.

NoSQL, for instance, is a terrible misnomer - for many such systems suffered in adoption because of a lack of a good general purpose query language (although many now provide their own forms of query languages to make working with data they store easier). That said, having a structure which is non-relational in form has never meant you could not use SQL with it - just that some of the relational constructs do not fit as easily into those realms.

We need not look further than Hadoop to understand how relational paradigms can be extended to any form of data/system with the right combination of technology components (think Hive, Spark, etc. etc).

We are in a world now where we have a multitude of data engine paradigms, where no one model truly and completely dominates the other - they are complementary and each have strengths and weaknesses. And we continue to get closer and closer to combinations of techniques that allow for general purpose, distributed by default, data systems/processing/storage.

Idiomatic Rust uses try!. It is a less verbose version of the most common pattern of error handling in Go. You have not programmed very much Rust and are not yet familiar with its idioms, but that is by far the most common and avoids all the problems you just described.
I always wondered if you could from the ground up visualize, delineate, and track ethnic neighborhoods in NYC without human input. All of the historic naturalization documents and ship manifests have been digitized and OCR'd now and include country of origin and nationality. By tracking the addresses from naturalization and census forms, a computer should be able to build a really accurate map of how neighborhoods changed and shifted from the 19th century through the early 20th up until the data becomes private.

For example, everyone in NYC knows that "Little Italy" is really a shadow of its former self and is mostly "Chinatown" now. If all the data was processed, you could visualize changes like that on a map over time and increase accuracy by adding more data sets (e.g. business directories, also in City archives).

I'm sensing a bit of ignorance or at least unrelated aggression toward .NET and Java developers. I'd actually say that ignorance of SSH is more related to application vs server developers, and since Java is one of the most popular server platforms, it seems unfounded to even bring up Java developers in your diatribe.

Oh, Elm is cool. I get that. So is Haste[0].

But I think PureScript is a more practical choice for targeting JavaScript. (It generates much smaller, more readable output, for one thing.)

I don't promise to have my mind made up, though. I'm still furiously taking in all of this Haskelly stuff, and it looks like a pretty long road ahead.

I've been telling people that I feel like I've crawled into a tunnel, and can't back out again. I seem to have no choice but to keep crawling towards that tiny beam of light.

I don't know how many times I'd looked at the ML family, and just couldn't appreciate it immediately enough... but somehow I've managed to become completely obsessed, to the extent that anything less really turns my stomach.

Refusing isn't the right word. From my experience there are fewer categories of products where a German consumers gets value add from purchasing non-German products (B2C or B2B) as compared to, say, Greece. First how much could Germany import from Greece at the outset. And, not specific to Greece, there is a general aversion to buying the lowest cost product just to save money; and there is a general preference for predictability, longevity and quality. Others may have the opposite experience, but for me German demand for domestically made products is a sensible and a cultural "refusal" and not an institutional one.
If a business wins, is it then implied that the government must lose?
Why is that unreasonable? Greek GDP has shrunk by a quarter:

It's going to be difficult for something like this to match the ease of shell scripting. For instance, typing `cd "foo"` is significantly more painful than `cd foo`. (Maybe this could be fixed by forking or adding to ghci so that when you hit space after the function name it automatically puts the quotes in for you and places the cursor between them.) Options are certainly important, and as others have said, they can be emulated with records. Is the syntax going to just as convenient as shell scripting? No. But that's not the point. The point is that shell scripting is massively painful in a lot of other ways where Haskell blows it away. So the task is to find a happy medium that gets fairly close to the convenience of shell scripting while still giving us the power of Haskell.

There are a number of potential approaches for coming close to the ease of shell scripting. One is options records as others have mentioned. For defaults you can have a Default instance (no, that's not boilerplate because you would have had to specify the defaults somewhere anyway). Then there is plenty of room for infix operator combinators to make it easier to change individual options. A second option could be to put options into a string that would get parsed into a record. You could use patterns similar to those used in existing command line argument processors like optparse-applicative. Or, if you don't like that, then maybe a quasiquote could give more power.

Do these things require some boilerplate? Yes. We know that is going to be required since Haskell wasn't designed for the convenience that shells were designed for. But that's fine in this case because the potential benefits are huge.
I can confirm that this has been ongoing with a website that I operate. Basically, a malicious Adsense ad will redirect a page when it loads. I've blocked numerous malicious advertisers from the site, but a new ones have sprung up. It was so bad that at one point I had to disable all rich media ads.

Obviously, Google has not officially commented on this. I wonder how widespread it is?
Honestly if you're going to buy anything, why not just buy the original, and buy American? I know Unicomp, which has their plant just down the street, doesn't advertise much, but I think you really can't beat the IBM Model M keyboards (especially not at the price point):

Well, the creditors are mainly other EU countries, so it would arguable be "paid by someone else" - the countries' taxpayers.
The 64-Bit Schizophrenic's Operating System 3.02
I'm really not sure how the accession of Greece in 1981 has anything to do with being the "largest economy in the world", and "the EU" today has little to do with the EEC at the time (especially since about 2/3 of the EU countries today were not part of the EEC then).

Greece was among the first countries to join the EU (the fourth one if I count correctly) and at the time, the EU (actually, the EEC) was still rather far from being the largest economy in the world.

It was actually more based on the historical and cultural place of Greece in Europe than economical grounds, as well as a way to help them recover from the previous dictatorship.
"The demo model the company supplied Fortune, for example, stopped taking a charge after a few weeks, so it ended up where broken watches typically do—in a dresser drawer rather than on a wrist."

Basically summarizes their UP product line. Three years in the making and nothing has changed. Warranty lasts one year after which you are out of luck. Turn around time when a product breaks is roughly 2 weeks with communication, processing + shipping.
Totally agree with you. In the case of this clinic, they get almost all of their referrals by word-of-mouth these days. However, they've noted that the new generation of twentysomethings will generally do their homework on Google before calling in. Might be useful for the clinic to prepare for the eventual shift to millennials as their primary clientele.

With that said, most of the SEO companies that cold-call them are quite shady. Other clinics in the city have had their search rankings drop after hiring SEO services who use scummy tactics. The new "snake oil" perhaps?
1. Realize that as a developer you will be in high demand in the workforce, surely you will find something better in no time.

2. Work on your startup idea / prototype during this downtime. It doesn't have to be perfect, just hacked together well enough to provide value to someone.

3. Brush up your skills on sites like Codeacademy, W3C, Tutsplus, etc. Take a few free online university / MOOC courses.

4. Sift through projects on Odesk / Elance. You may find some part time work that may provide some supplemental income while at the same time improving your dev skills.

5. Hustle. Knock on doors. Be proactive. Let your passions shine through. Don't take no for an answer.
Just wanted to let you know neovim is at a point where you can use it as a drop in replacement and not notice.
I'm not entirely sure what it is you're suggesting. The EU is designed to make us (Germany, France, etc.) more competitive. That unfortunately also means that countries like Greece don't profit as much (or at all, for that matter), but then again, nobody was forced to join to EU.

> I think it's time Germany admits to that and pays its dues, by which I mean help finance the rest of EU (via a fiscal union).

Do you really think we don't know what we're doing? You say we need to "pay our dues". You do realize we're talking about the fact that Greece can't pay it's dues, yes? As far as help financing the rest of the EU goes, keep on dreaming. There is no way any german is going to vote for that given that we have plenty of kids growing up below the poverty line.
So generator, weak references and proxies.

Promises, modules we already had. Native implementation doesn't provide new functionality, just picks winners.

I'm really excited by generators and proxies but those are available in latest version of CoffeeScript already.
The code isn't quite as terrible if compiled with optimizations on. I like your hypothesis elsewhere in the thread, that the optimization pass is probably removing unneeded array copying that hinder the performance of the debug build.

Semantically, an Array is an automatically resizing, reference-counted, copy-on-write, bounds-checking sequence of elements, none of which I want if I'm building a buffer for pixel values. So there is a significant mismatch between my desired use case and the characteristics of Array. I really do think there should be a fixed-size non-copy-on-write collection type at some point added to the language.

From an operational perspective, you're right, the analogy is quite leaky if you examine it closely.
Very nice write up and I'm in agreement. I've heard good things about Vox and their move back toward being the best consumer tube amp. I grew up with a 64 Fender Twin Silverface (Dad's gig amp) and it was a monster, just too much, but I'm glad we sold it to somebody who still has it. I became a solid-state guy but always lusted after the 5150 2x12" combo, and they're holding steady at about $500 used, so one of those is in my future.

I've used quite a few Line6 computer products and I like the bang-for-the-buck but would never, ever put them in the pro sound field. Fun to play with, cheaper than pedals, but takes me quite a bit in fiddling with settings + post production to make them worthwhile (same goes for my little MicroSpider amp, which is mostly for busking).

One thing that came across my radar was the Kemper, which seems to be that technological achievement you might have in mind. I've never played/heard one (that I know of), but I think it has a pretty good reputation thus far. Link: http://www.kemper-amps.com/profiling
What is the value add of combining niche blogs into one "network"? Maybe the ability to advertise for each other?
The Russians in WWII used a submachine gun, copied from the Finns, to great effect in the urban battle of Stalingrad, the Germans reacted by developing the assault rifle, later copied by the Russians, and eventually by everyone else.

The Tommy Gun was the pre-war glimpse of what was to come. It used pistol ammunition, not rifle ammunition, and thus was suitable for close-in fights.

I, for one, am glad that large scale war with millions of human combatants, appears to be diminishing in likelihood.
But that's completely useless for this purpose unless the bank supplying the cash also recorded the numbers, and "mostly harmless" even if they were (see below).

What makes me sure the banks I use don't suitably track the numbers is that I show up to them with $20s just acquired from an ATM (saves time) and they don't take any actions that would allow recording of the numbers of the $100s they give me in return. The bills just come out of a slot in the usual drawer, the teller only count them by hand to make sure they're all $100s and that she's giving me the right number of them. I'd add that many people would notice if she ran them through an OCR machine before handing them over....

What you're talking about sounds more anti-counterfeiting efforts, $100s having of course the highest payoff, and at worst case they only reveal that person X shopped at that establishment the day before. Which I suspect is not typically damning, e.g. that I shopped at a grocery store without any details as to what I bought suggests that I'm a human that eats food, little more.

I wouldn't say I'm "paranoid" about this sort of thing, i.e. I pay cash locally more to avoid credit card fraud than to keep details about myself private, but I read the appropriate SF when I was young, and being a hacker in the sense of this forum I pay close attention to these things. As of yet in my corner of SW Missouri there's no sign of them.
No, Germans are not more frugal than other people. The main issue behind lacklustre German consumption is that neither their wages nor their investment in infrastructure has kept pace with their productivity growth.
Maintaining Momentum with a Remote Team
This is the second time now that I've seen this come up with somebody impersonating a doctor in Canada. Someone created a fake Twitter account and website for a Dr. O that I know. Can I connect you with Dr. O in case these two incidents are related?
I'm definitely not an expert, but I was under the impression that both space and time are already thought to be discrete and have minimum quanta, Planck length (10^-36 m) and Planck time (10^-44 s). I guess this new theorem suggests that not only do they have minimum values, they don't exist between these points. Sort of like how pixels aren't really sized objects, but they sort of fill the space between them -- this might be a terrible analogy.
There's as much disposable income as you're willing to dispose of. I live comfortably on less than 20k a year. If I had a 120k/yr job but otherwise maintained the same lifestyle I could totally drive a Porsche, but my inclination would be to give it away or save it instead.
Interesting... Recently my friend noticed a fake Twitter account under her father's name. He's also doctor in Toronto.

The Twitter account is just repeating a Wordpress site's RSS feed. On that site, there's a link to <his-name>.info, which according to a whois lookup was registered by someone at the "International Association of Healthcare Professionals" in New York. Google searches for that association reveal doubts of legitimacy[0] and scam warnings[1][2].

I haven't spoken to my friend or her father about it directly (I just noticed a tweet the other day) so I don't know if he was contacted about establishing a web presence or anything.

I am speaking from the point of view of someone who may be asked to run and manage Sandstorm servers. Either as a service to sell, or as a service for internal customers. This is a very different use case than using it for just myself.

And if I'm honest, this isn't something I'd need to or want to run for myself. I'm comfortable with managing shared services and propping up web frontends. So no, I am not the targeted user of this software; however, I am the one who gets to write tools and processes to support those targeted users at some point in the future.
