I can see your point, but Finder looks nothing like an Open dialog. Sure, the Open dialog has a list of files in it but it doesn't feature tabs or a corresponding menu at the top of the screen to allow you to connect to servers (eg screen sharing). They're clearly two different things. I have never seen anyone confused by it. I have seen people more confused by the fact that "renaming" under Finder is done using ENTER! I would expect Enter to open the file but apparently Cmd-Down is the obvious choice...

I would say the cluttering up of Windows Explorer is far worse though: it now features a giant useless blue bar (which you can't hide) at the bottom in addition to the statusbar (which is hidden by default), a list of directories on the left in addition to favourites and libraries (all to confuse users so they have no idea where anything is, you should see my mum trying to use it), left and right panes that no longer correspond for navigation (you can navigate with the keyboard in the left tree but the right pane doesn't follow it), a menubar BENEATH the toolbar, an additional toolbar for operations (why aren't these inside the other toolbar?). The list goes on! I know this is under Windows 7 and has likely changed in 8+ but post XP it has really gone downhill.
I think what you are looking for is called auto-lifting. That is, automatically lifting functions into reactive streams.

While it sounds like an awesome idea, things get crazy really fast. It's hard to explain briefly, but make it explicit and clear to the programmer which things are reactive streams and which are simply values makes it much easier to predict what the program is doing.
The Art of Electronics, combined with the Student Workbook are excellent books to teach yourself electronics.

I guess today you'd use electronic simulations on a computer rather than real components on bread-boards with real test equipment. Perhaps some HNer is involved with this type of simulation software? I might be worth creating "labs" that can be used while reading tAoE?
I assume RethinkDB allows the direct use of the database from within the client.

This makes me wonder how they handle security.

For example, let's assume that I want to implement a "filesystem" using this database. How would I add rules that allowed the client-side to use only the records it is allowed to use (for instance, if the "filesystem" is configured such that access is limited for certain users)?
It would be a joke to prevent jokes from spreading.
I think the people who had been saying that OSX would dominate were deluding themselves - I never heard it said! I would have pointed out the minuscule market share of Apple PCs/laptops as evidence.
No, that's not similar. There's a huge difference there ...

Good consultants / freelancers have higher hourly rates than normal employees, to cover their expenses and the periods of inactivity. Plus really good ones are much more expensive simply because they can deliver value that can't be delivered by average employees, so they are expensive because there's demand for their skill-set.

Your solution for example would not get me hired by you. Because I hate probation periods. Because getting hired for only X weeks is a risk for me that has to be worth it. So either you're a really sexy company for which I'm dying to work for, or you must pay me enough for those 3 weeks to be worth it.

And furthermore, the relationship between a consultant hired for a limited amount of time and an employee on probation is very different, going beyond just price. A good consultant gets hired based on (initial) trust in that consultant's skill-set, wheres a probation period signals exactly the opposite.
That's incorrect:

>That's not different than some open source projects and has no bearing on it being open source.

I didn't say it's different, or that it's not open source for that.

I asked because the parent said: "If you want to contribute actual code and have it actually incorporated into the language, then all you need to do is follow the contribution guidelines here"
It also supported SMIL with real-time buffering of content from independent sources. You could create a small XML file that dynamically and seamlessly streamed video excerpts from multiple servers, appearing as one stream.
Did I say anywhere that I'm a proponent of Open Source?

I just said, "if only open source languages had the same resources".

Because that's what I mostly get to use, and because I don't run Windows but OS X, so I don't get to play with a fully supported C# environment.

This made me laugh because I remember netbooks being a fad where everyone had one and tried working on an underpowered Atom CPU with a tiny battery, a tiny low-res screen running IE under XP with a billion browser toolbars installed, reducing their visible browser space to about 20px at the bottom. Oh the sad memories.

Strangely, the MacBook Air is essentially a Netbook, just better made and not in the "race to the bottom" of both price and quality.
I wonder what the life time emissions are for a fusion power plant, given that nothing lasts forever it will have to be maintained and have major rebuilds.

For the first fusion plant it'll be a huge loss environmentally speaking. But they'll improve as we learn and iterate the design and building process until eventually they're better than anything we can imagine today. That can't happen unless we build the first one.

In the long term they're definitely the best possible energy source for the environment.

Is there any current or proposed implementation that can support W3C SMIL in the browser? A decade ago, RealPlayer was able to seamlessly edit video excerpts (defined by start::stop intervals) into a single video stream. The excerpts could have originated from different servers.

Will the new DRM formats support this use case? E.g. if I'm a paying Netflix subscriber, could I view a dynamically defined (XML or JSON) mashup of Buffy and Twilight, using only a list of start/stop edit points? The HTML5 viewer would need to pre-buffer each video clip, to make the viewed stream seamless.
I think it was Helix Player? My memory is also not clear.
(disclaimer: French here) Well, France will not wage war if these countries leave the CFA. France gains some control, and these countries enjoy the benefits of a stable currency. It is probably not the most ideal situation, but what alternatives are proposed?

Yep, HERE is the brand that replaced Nokia Maps, and before that it was Navteq. They're part of the remnants of Nokia - the parts that MS didn't buy.

I think they have apps on pretty much all devices now, and now that they are no longer part of a company that's making Windows Phones, I imagine they're probably putting more effort into Android and iOS than they were before.
Except that all who opposed were mysteriously assassinated? I'm not one to quickly jump on conspiracy theories, but it sure looks like France is not in a healthy relationship with these countries.

Slightly related, is it true that the currencies in CFA are significantly more stable than those of surrounding countries? And are the inhabitants wealthier for it?
@freedom123, I feel your TL;DR version misses the crucial bit.

It's not just failure:

It's the combination of accepting failure (despite risk) with imagining solutions and new concepts, and meticulously applying them until you succeed.

That is what many skateboarders do, and I know that first hand. I'm now a professional coder.

You look at the a bit of land, and imagine ways you could skate it, you look at your board and imagine how you could spin it, or stand or slide on it, and you just try and try and fail and try until you succeed. It's hard to express the creativity and drive you need to have to get anywhere on a board.

Personally, I find my iterative creative mindset and my ability to accept failure help me at skateboarding, coding and lead me at one point to be a pro musician too... These skills exist in many areas. Skateboarding is just incredibly hard to attain any real level of skill at.
The vaccine doesn't work for 3% of people, so that's down to 4% we are ok with.

Then there is a set of people who can't get the vaccine for various reasons. The most obvious of these are very young infants, but it also includes elderly people who didn't get it when they were young as well as suffers of various diseases. Then there are people with depleted immune systems (chemo patients etc) who are vulnerable to diseases even if they are immunised.

It seems likely this set of people adds up to between 1% and 2%.

That drops it to 2-3%.
You can't deduce that because oncologist patients often die in 18 month, oncologist are lesser doctors. Patient died because they were so sick when they arrive that there wasn't a lot of hope left.

50% success rate doesn't indicate that recruiting is like throwing a coin flip. If there are only 10% of people that can do the job across interviewee, then throwing a coin would get you just 10% of people able to do the job.

However if there was a pool were 80% of people are able to do the job, getting 50% would be worse than picking anyone randomly.

Bayesian logic :)
hmm outlook.com and fastmail looks meaningful to me.
Wow - what an opportunity. Honestly - you have something great here.

I hope this doesn’t come across as an insult as you’ve already expressed your dislike for Outbrain and Taboola but you’ve stepped right into their market and have a huge opportunity to shake things up.

I’d say you’ve figured out what every publisher loves - or should love - keeping traffic and keeping the audience engaged. I assume most smaller publishers >10m views would make more money keeping readers clicking around their own site several times compared to losing them to a “click-bait” sponsored content ad.

I would however recommend after spending a decent amount of time on your site to take a look at Taboola and Outbrain - the copy and design of their sites are very to the point and informative - to publishers and advertisers. I don’t really get that from your site. I’d try to be more like them in those areas - they have a knack for grabbing both publishers and advertisers.

As for getting the advertisers, get on LinkedIn - search for people with job titles like Manager of Digital Marketing - poke around their profiles see if their company might be a good fit for you then fire them off a quick email.

Just my two cents!
I think there is a balance - with the walled garden you can walk around inside it until they decide that your favourite fruit tree is a bit old and they dig it up, and you are left with alternatives like shrubs and flowers, but no useful fruit tree. That's where the open systems help, such as the other replier stated where being able to run web servers and systems for development can be benefitted by open systems.

But you're right about many of those statements on open systems. I think the fact that stuff is only half-finished is the one that really annoyed me when I wanted to get stuff done. I could have written more and contributed but I had finite time and didn't want to have to do more stuff in order to do the stuff I wanted to do in the first place.

Plus, the endless CADT model of development in Linux land ("I'm NEW AROUND HERE. Let's bin this old nonsense that I've not used for long and START AGAIN! It'll be MUCH better than the old stuff. I will be because I SAID SO, plus I'm NEW AROUND HERE") got wearisome.
We use bluebird. With BLUEBIRD_DEBUG=1 we get amazing long stack traces that span across events, and they got even better (cleaner, more accurate) post bluebird 2.8.

If willing to take a performance hit (they will remain faster than caolan's async or native promises though), they're also usable in production.
I wear extended wear contact lenses, find them quite comfortable, and prefer them to glasses from a comfort perspective. They're much better than regular dailies or monthlies for comfort. The only downside is the maintenance. Although reduced for extended wear (I only have to mess with them every five days, or they get uncomfortable), I am meticulous about cleanliness to reduce infection risk and so it takes considerable time to get my hands clean and dry and to then thoroughly clean the lenses. This is a pain to do compared to no-maintenance glasses.

I do often wear glasses at home, but only because it's convenient to fit my extended wear scheduled breaks (five days on, two days off, replace monthly) around being at home. If I'm already wearing contacts, I don't choose to switch to glasses at home until my schedule requires it. If I could have the same experience I have for the first five days continuously and safely, I would never take the contacts out.

But I may be an exception. I used to suffer from recurrent corneal erosion. Perhaps this causes my eyes to be less comfortable than normal when not wearing lenses.
Lazy.js is however not that active. I guess the community around it still needs to develop.

Hopefully a changelog could ease my mind.
I'm not saying this isn't true, as I have no idea what you look like, but food for thought: when I switched to contacts, I had a similar feeling, that I looked strange without glasses and that I was better off wearing them.

However, I stuck with it, and within a few weeks my perception of myself had shifted. Now I actually prefer how I look without glasses.

I experience the same phenomenon periodically since every couple of years I change my mind about whether I want to have a bigger beard or a closely-cropped beard. It always takes me a few weeks before my new look really feels natural, and I've come to expect that I have to wait that period out before I can evaluate myself honestly.

All of this is to say: sometimes you might feel differently about a change like rimless glasses if you stick with it for a while. Which maybe you did, I don't know, but if not I encourage you to try it. =)
Companies can do so much better than governments because governments pay for all the things that companies use - like transport networks, education, healthcare, military cover, and so on.

How to define performance requirements
I don't particularly enjoy the hiring process. It takes a lot of time, which is time I can't be building.

I think I would really, really not enjoy having to potentially hire a brand-new crop of people, or renegotiate every contract on my team, every time we hit a gatecheck, major deliverable, project checkpoint, etc.

The current concept of full-time work means I as an employee don't have to worry so much about not having a job in a week (it takes time to hire a new me, too), and also that the people I hire likely aren't going to disappear on me in a week, as well.

Moving to a "everyone short-term contracts" model means I have less security that this team I've spent a lot of my time trying to build may end up not being here in 6 months. It means my team members have less security that the coworker of theirs who is specializing in ____ will be here in 6 months.

Probationary periods in new hire contracts exist for that "this isn't a mutually good fit" issue.

Ultimately it feels like an "everyone is a contractor" default will end up increasing overhead for the company, reducing productive time available for people involved in hiring (my developers have to interview a new hire, as well), and less security for both the contractor and the employer.

The implementation is correct against this abstract specification ... so bug-free, etc. The implications, there's many of them, but just a few obvious ones: it's not possible for this kernel to have a buffer overflow; it cannot - it provably does not use uninitialized variables or dereference null pointers, there's no stack smashing, you can't have code injection, there's no return oriented programming. Any of that stuff is just not possible - provably. So that's nice!
Not tax free, but definitely tax neutral? It also avoids double taxation at the corporate level, so you are saving on the corporate tax. I like the notion of having to pay tax when you actually get your (cash, not paper) return.

Let's say Yahoo were to sell the stock, it would first have to pay corporate tax (35-40%), after which a dividend could be declared (another 15-25% in the hands of the shareholder) The total tax rate as such would be between 45-60% for individual tax payers.

Using SpinCo, Yahoo will not have to pay the corporate tax, and investors will only have to pay capital gains tax because they can directly sell SpinCo shares. I'd assume SpinCo shares to trade at a discount to BABA.

Re-establishing the tax base would have been better, but I think that one is much harder to do.

Another thing to consider is that some non US investors might be holding Yahoo stock through some sort of holding or investment company that can benefit from a participation exemption regime. This means that capital gains are tax exempt at the corporate level, and that no taxation will occur until they make a distribution to shareholders.
The Starlight Lines Employee Forum RPG
(from the article:)

In fact, late last week, the CTIA wrote the FCC to tell it that the kind of blacklist approach taken by Foss’s company wouldn’t work. According to the lobbying group, it raises privacy concerns—and causes other problems too.

“Even assuming an accurate database of blacklisted and whitelisted numbers can be compiled and maintained, the ease with which modern equipment and software can allow a caller to spoof a caller ID would present significant challenge,” the group says.

I thought the phone companies had access to more information than caller ID for the calls they handle. Surely you can't fake caller ID details to dodge your phone bill? I'd love it if they'd give out a star code we could all dial after a call we didn't want to receive that would, if enough people did it, disallow future calls from that entity from reaching any phone line for which a customer has requested the blocking of calls reported as bothersome. No exemptions for charities or politicians either.
