I am using Yahoo's fluxible app and it is quite good. Doesn't feel verbose at all in every day use.
I'm not up to speed on the reason for the MongoDB animosity, can anyone enlighten me?
Looks interesting, but lack of task dependency would be a deal breaker. One of the reasons our team has stuck with Smartsheets.

I agree with earlier comment asking for a demo project.
I'm with you. I'm sure his results are the size of his creative vision.

It compiles down to JavaScript that you can then run on Node or the browser.

I once wrote a big long rant about the mess that JS and Node have made trying to cope with async code and got tons of comments proposing X or Y library that would "fix" the issue. Not a single person mentioned StratifiedJS. I wonder if there was some history to it that prevented it from getting momentum.[0]

Indeed, and the way we casually throw around "oh they'll find something else to do" is shameful. Many (most!) people affected by this won't be able to retrain into new, better jobs, and the knowledge economy is largely off-limits to many of them anyways.

The "retraining" argument is nothing more than a tool for our kind to disingenuously dismiss the negative impacts that come with progress.

[edit] and in the time it took to write this post someone already responded to that effect, hurray HN predictability :)
Agree 100%. Additionally, unless you also ship with substantial APIs, you'll be a nonstarter in the enterprise market, which demands interfaces to other systems (perhaps including code reviews, static analysis, source control (Git[hub], SVN, etc), ticketing, labor/time tracking, resource planning & allocation, SQA testing & validation, human resources, and whatever standard auth (SAML, OAuth, OpenID, LDAP)).

Your pricing is also too high for a large org, especially when one could use something like Phabricator for free. This doesn't even get into MS Project or document management (MS Office? Google Drive?).

Long story short, this looks like a good start and may work well for SMBs, but definitely not a big company.
Nah. That Flappy Bird guy made a small fortune even by first world standards. It drove him insane too.
I think most people do that, question is whether that also negates any subconscious perception modifiers (sorry, I don't know what else to call that). Like when "feel good" commercials make you associate the product with good feelings unless you actively resist that.

> Also out of curiosity– re: longevity, why would a driverless car have to be on the road for 15 years?

There would become a significant cost burden to the owner if this was what was necessary. Most people can't afford to do multiple thousand dollar repairs to their vehicles every few years. Currently replacing the ECU in most modern vehicles will run you close to $1,000 after parts and labor, and these are the very "dumb" kind of car computers (comparatively).

> When renting becomes THAT cheap, ownership makes less sense (for most people, at least).

This may make sense to someone living in a big city, but when you shift to the suburbs or a more rural area, renting would become a significant inconvenience. In my experience, people living in big cities are the ones who often do not own vehicles and/or rent and/or use things like Uber/Lyft and/or Zip cars. Suburbians (which is where majority of our population lives in the US) would not be able to take advantage of this type of service for a number of logistical reasons.

Why?

- Because your government is "better"? (for some definition of "better")

- Because you expect that it will protect the interests of its citizens?

- Any other reason?
That is such bullshit. I lived in Phnom Penh. That "free ride" you refer to is the most dangerous part of their day. There are lot of accidents with these trucks. Your other points reek of privilege and lack of actual understanding of how these people live their lives.
It always was fundamentally unhackable. It was built on top of Broadcom, which has completely closed documentation. Frankly, Arduino / Atmel is the only open platform from bottom to top. Oh, and PCs (Intel / AMD).

I don't think Windows is going to close any real bits of the Raspberry Pi 2, at least any more than it already is.

I'm actually more excited about "open" hardware like AMD AM1 or Intel NUCs for this reason.

HN makes your username name show green when you're green. Like yours is.
One of Mongo's fatal problems is that the database has been known to say it has fulfilled its durability promises, but that's only sending a packet to the kernel, not confirmed received by others. Same with writing to disk. So a crash can lose more data than originally thought.

Other things like continually pointing to each other, not figuring out a master for hours has made some people tear their hair out, despite the documentation saying it should behave in a sane way.
Yeah - the whole frontend (and API) running over HTTP is really making me not want to use this. It's 2015 – certificates are cheap, or Cloudflare is free.

I like it, nice and modern.
MongoDB is a database with some properties that match a specific niche, but to gain popularity they marketed it as a general purpose database that anyone could use.

The result is that many developers who bought into the hype train are now salty because they encountered the limitations at unexpected and unfortunate moments that might have cost them uptime or data.
These are pretty cool. Might have to use them sometime.
They will suffer more without the job. You think not buying from them will help them...how?
I find it extremely hard to believe that you would be unable to spend less than $90,000 a year on food and rent in any city in America assuming you have a modicum of financial restraint.

> Users who do "Ctrl-S" to do fast save are certainly a minority.

My first reaction: How else do you save?! You mean you actually take your hands off the keyboard, and click the floppy icon in a toolbar? Or even.. click on File > Save? Seriously?

I think this assumption as a very strong population bias.

With the people I work with.. it's all about keyboard shortcuts. If you don't know your basic keyboard shortcuts, you're too slow. But then again, I work around people with super customized Vim and EMacs configs and people who live in Photoshop/Illustrator all day. You just can't be productive in those environments without keyboard shortcuts.

For me, users who don't do "Ctrl-S" to save are certainly a minority.
Project management is a market that defies solving.

Every company (and person!) has their own workflows and requirements, or there'd be no way for businesses to differentiate themselves on operational efficiency. It's possible to encode those workflows into very flexible systems like Jira, but as is usually the case, that comes at a large cost in design and ease of use.

This creates a market for thousands of small project management solutions, each a well-designed, slimmed down service, often equivalent to a particular customization of ClearCase or Asana but far easier to set up and use.
> Effect Typing and Monads are yet another colour for the lipstick you put on the pig.

When I started to read the essay, I thought that it would be an anti-typing screed (it's nothing to do with the author, whom I don't know!), with blue functions being untyped (or, pace Harper, unityped) and red functions being typed. An untyped function can call a typed function by ignoring the types; a typed function cannot call an untyped one, because that might violate its contract. If you buy this analogy, then your first sentence might equally well have said "typing is yet another colour for the lipstick you put on the pig"—but lightweight HM inference shows that is not so. Maybe we're just awaiting the revolutions in effect typing that languages like ML and derivatives, and Haskell, brought to typing itself?

How data visualizations are tools (and what you're building with them)
Just because you can make a simplification doesn't mean you have achieved understanding. That understanding might be correct, or it might not. Even if you think you know the error bars are small, that doesn't mean that they are.

Given that the earth has had temperature excursions of +4C and -4C in the past 100k years it seems that there are some kind of forces that keep the temperature within that range. What are they? Climatologists are saying "tipping points" and whatnot, but if you believe the very long climate history as measured by proxies you would have to admit that there certainly SEEMS to be something that stops the temperature from rising further, and something that stops it from falling further. What are those mechanisms?
Computers are better at traction control than humans (a computerized traction control system is already mandated in new US vehicles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control#Re... ).

Longevity might be a problem, but it's reducible to an investment decision, the vehicles don't necessarily have to last 15 years unmodified to be practical.
Just like node.js. Simple to setup. No frameworks to learn. No need to integrate with web server. Few lines of code, run, and you have a web application responding to the requests.

HBO Go Outsources Its Streaming Infrastructure Development
'Playing it safe' is also the goal of the gov't civilian managers of those projects- they have a promotion schedule to hit and having a 'failure' on their resume jeopardizes that. And since they're only going to be there 2-3 years, the goal is just to keep things propped up until they rotate out.
Especially true with things like TVs, where sale prices are often loss leaders with the stores planning to make it up by selling lots of overpriced cables and other accessories to the buyers.
Yeah, yeah, the alternative is much worse, end of argument. Or is it? Perhaps these kind of movies are not about just banning sweatshops but rather about something more general, like for example why the alternative exists in the first place?
Am I the only one using MongoDB who think it works great? I'm really happy with it.
I don't think there is much difference between those and big brands. Same with clothes. There is no difference between a super low cost brand, H&M and Versace. Or actually there is, the designer brands have often proven to be manufactured in even worse conditions.
Name and profession correlation
I'm sure they use some crazy equation to come up with that number.
I'm not saying they should - my point was that you shouldn't expect "scientific" terminology and language from the Washington Post.

Just because conditions are substantially better for certain people doesn't mean they're acceptable.

I mean, take a country that hasn't been "globalized" yet, and people still live in small fishing villages, basically living at subsistence levels but not overcrowded and basically self-sufficient.

Then industry comes in, and cities coalesce, and people go to the city for its economic promises. They work in these horrible construction jobs, and send money home.

Then they're offered a job in a $1/day sweatshop, and they jump at it, because it's better than what they were doing.

Aren't they still much, much worse off than before they moved to the city in the first place?

I don't know, maybe I have an idealized view of the pre-globalized world. But it seems like we're treating the move from one horrible situation to another slightly-less-horrible situation as a big win, when it's still way behind how people lived pre-globalization.
Me neither, and its my last name!
I'm curious about the... Logistics of it? Do you store it, somewhere till the end of the week? Sit on a bucket, or use a ziplock bag? Scoop it out of the bowl every time? Do you have to make sure it doesn't get contaminated with urine?

Do they care about the consistency, color, smell, etc? Or is it just pretty much anything goes? Do they request that you eat a specific diet?

The first iterations will not be consumer cars. I would have put my money on trucking before taxis, but it looks like i'm wrong.

The first iterations will be expensive, triple the cost of a normal car perhaps? that's ok if they get 10x the use. When you put in that kind of investment, it's ok to have dedicated staff for maintenance. You also get to learn a lot about failure modes, when and how to do upgrades, there's lots of good stuff that can happen there.

Google is in a pretty unique place. They have the data to make them work. They can afford a large staff to maintain the cars. They can afford flight data recorders for the cars. They can afford to create an insurance subsidiary. Insurance is cheap if you can prove robot cars never cause accidents. They can afford these things in dollars, technical talent, legal talent, and international reach.

Uber is lucky because it's not google's core business. They've got a lot of cash, but they don't (afaict) have the depth of resources to throw at the zillion problems that will inevitably come up. The only piece google lacks is the focus. It's google's game to lose.

If you get a yearly state park pass, you're probably walking on the trails no more than 10 km from the parking lot at their furthest points, and leaving before the park closes for the night.

If you get a hiking permit, you are probably carrying a tent. The permits would allow the park management to limit and track the number of people out in the park wilderness areas at any given time, and prevent overuse or overly inconsiderate visitors. The permit application process may also discourage casual or inexperienced campers, who may have insufficient skill to explore backcountry trails without injury--including bear-related injuries.

You describe pretty much most Christians thoughout Scandinavia. Not that they believe God to be non-existent, but that the metaphysical question of existence is pretty much dead and without practical interest. Lutheran Christianity unifies not by blind faith but in your actions.

Really, any language that has threading gives you the easy concurrency that you want. Now, if you limit your choices to "concurrency, but not with OS threads", then your pool is a lot smaller.

I think Clojure (core.async), Haskell (GHC), and Rust would also give you what you're looking for.
"MongoDB 3.0 will be generally available in March, when we finish putting it through its paces. Stay tuned for our latest release candidate, we would love it if you would try it out and give us feedback."
So... no 3.0 final yet. That's disappointing. However - I'm really excited about 3.0. Initial tests show way better performance than 2.6. Plus data takes just 1/4th of disk space. That's amazing. I hope this is just beginning and each next release will add more and more features based on what WT can deliver.
I understand that sales are greater with a price of $59.99 rather than $60. But how much greater? Can anyone point to an article that quantifies the effect?
