The Eight Fallacies were the impetus for the development of Jini and JavaSpaces. I wrote about this many moons ago here: http://www.softwarematters.org/jini-intro.html

Jini is one of those technologies that should have taken off but somehow didn't. At the time, the Jini proponents attributed the failure to the fact that J2EE sold more hardware. That might have been a factor, but I suspect the fact that Jini was just too much outside the mainstream was a bigger issue. Not unlike Lisp, really.
The PA system is not there just to provide something to listen to in case you are bored.

Yeah, but there's no reason for the people operating the PA to blast our ears for mundane drivel. I was on a flight last weekend where, because I was right next to a speaker, I had to cover my ears for 5 minutes while the flight attendant droned on about non-emergency stuff. It was so loud it hurt my ears. I already have tinnitus, so I don't need any more hearing loss.

I'm assuming React Native can load external JS files over the network? If that's the case, then I understand why Facebook is building this.

They could have control of their application and behavior and make even more changes than before without re-submitting to the App Store.
You had me up until "rights". Consideration (or lack thereof) for their comfort - and just for them as individuals- yes definitely.

For their rights? that's a lot less clear.
Disclaimer: I don't use the git CLI and I've deployed maybe 3 apps to Heroku, all just playing around with it.

Isn't this so that someone can just keep Github up to date and they don't need to use the CLI and do `heroku push` or whatever every time there is an update?

We use Microsoft Azure for some public sites, and there is both Github and BitBucket integration where you can automatically deploy updates to certain branches (e.g. `master` or `develop`) to the site.
The market would work more efficiently, but it violates securities law for it to be selectively released. If you allow 1000+ employees to see the #, you might as well have it appear real-time on the investor relations page. (I'm ok with this)
I've experienced airline PA announcements to exceed the pain threshold many times. It's utterly ridiculous how loud they are.

In my opinion, the less that is broadcast over the PA the better.
It is somewhat limited, but using message passing to the main thread, you can render a UI or even use WebGL or Web Audio or anything else. See the link for an example with WebGL.

Are you suggesting these should be open to the marketplace? That alternative puts all publicly traded companies at a disadvantage to privately held businesses.
Nitpick (which seems appropriate for a what is fundamentally a nitpick-y thread): in "the setup method", that's actually the adjective variant, rather than the noun. The article points out that the adjective is also one word.

Beyond Tolerance – A Few More Paces
Except that it's not.

Having many different parts by itself is enough to make a language bad. The fact that some of the most important of those parts are basic makes it terrible.
Most individuals and groups want to be accepted, respected and taken seriously. That is why making fun works, because it attacks that. Nobody want to be a part of a group that is mocked and ridiculed by a majority.

This happened a bit with cults after Jonestown massacre in late 70s. A lot of cult-ish group tried very hard not to be seen as cult-ish. Because it brought bad associations.
There's tradeoffs. Public companies are more boring, but having permanent capital does bring a little more stability. Different things for different people. To borrow from Peter T, it's much easier for private firms to get from 0 to 1. Public companies seem to be better on globalizing, where standards and process are important. Neither is universally better. (I've moved to steadily smaller companies in my career)
So, my host is mostly Windows (work laptop comes with it normally and at home I like to play games a lot).

The VM was VirtualBox.

The Guest OS I always used was Ubuntu Desktop (I remember starting with around ~10.10).
The desktop mode is compelling enough that I'd be fine if Canonical delayed the Ubuntu Phone further to get it right. It's already been delayed considerably and the buzz it once had has mostly disappeared. The ability to plug it into a monitor and have it function as a desktop, or plug it into an HDTV and have it behave like a Roku would be a massive edge over what's on the market now. Not sure why Canonical is content with releasing an "also ran" phone.

1) Make sure you understand the concepts, not just how to crunch the numbers.

2) Make sure you understand how the math relates to the actual real world and is a means to model actual reality.

I know you did not ask for resources, but really good ones are hard to find. So I will note that a good source for good math articles (as well as good math answers) on HN is Colin Wright: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ColinWright
We did a bunch of experiments with running React in a web worker. Maybe we should revive them. Because it's React, it ends up being easy and is basically the same setup (serialized events etc) as what React Native does.
Starting a 3D printing company might be viable. Buying very nice printers makes it less so unless you have customers lined up who demand it and will sign long term agreements.

Buying a fleet of cheap printers [one or two at a time based on demand] makes more sense because the business model is renting and there's a lot more of a market for renting a 3d printer at $5/hour than at $30/hour. More printers means more peak capacity.
My Teacher- a Piece of Meatloaf
No, and FAs seemed to be of uncertain opinion if vaping was covered, although I only asked on one flight. Probably from a don't-be-rude perspective, it'd not be a good idea. Certainly the risk of fire isn't there.

There's still a fair amount of time dedicated to talking about "airplane mode". Which can simply not be a safety issue, as it'd be a trivial attack vector for malicious passengers to use. Or, if it is a safety factor, it just further illustrates the security theater.
So, this is something that is not explained well with Device Orientation API. It's meant for holding your phone flat in your palm, parallel to the ground. In that orientation, the heading is reported relative to the top edge of the device. It can work in a landscape orientation, but at that point that top edge of the device is now pointing 90 degrees in the wrong dejection from what you probably intend, i.e. the back plate of the device. And in a portrait orientation, it completely gimbal locks.

For that very reason, I wrote this: https://github.com/capnmidnight/Psychologist.js/blob/master/...
I am yet to tackle Calculus, so nothing comes to mind. But I am agree with you that, relating all of math concepts to real life won't be necessary as long as I truly understand it.
Are you hiring?

This sort of stuff tends to get imposed from above, or by busybodies enraptured with ideas and theory as opposed to practicality. I'm endlessly told how nothing but agile works, despite the fact that I'm 48, and successfully lead dozens of projects before agile was an idea, on time and on budget.

> Soldiers can adjust the rocker with a quick "click" depending on the amount of protection they need. When it's in the open or "weapons fire" position, sound can travel through the sound channel filter into the ear.

> For noisy environments that don't require an acute listening capability, such as around helicopters, troop carriers or generators, the rocker can be switched to the closed or "constant protection" position.

There's also larger over-ear kinds that are integrated with comms:

You are speaking my language! I would love to see a prototype of this. I've been thinking about it since I saw React Native.

I wonder if there's even value in something like an asm.js-compiled layout system, which absolutely positions elements. One of the insights of React Native is that to build apps, we really only need a small subset of the web's layout algorithms. Only flexbox, really. So if we recognize this subset, and remove everything else, there main thread can focus on really smooth performance.

React Native even performs the flexbox layout on a 3rd thread, and tells the main thread where to absolutely position stuff.

Obviously we want to re-use as much of HTML as we can, but there might be some crazy ways to remove stuff from the main thread.

EDIT: It should be noted that Mercury, a React-inspired library (https://github.com/Raynos/mercury), has examples of running in a web worker. It is pretty cool, but I think it needs to be fleshed out more.
"my surprise/interest diminished when I skipped through the pages and found all sorts of sections on buying clothes and being in good shape."

Well, it does matter, as much as some people like to think it doesn't or shouldn't. It's certainly not everything, not even by half, but people like attractive people. It gets you through the door so to speak. That, in turn, gives you more opportunities to meet people.

If you have a crap personality most women won't stay long anyway, but if you're overweight and dress like a kid in high school then don't be surprised that women aren't falling over themselves to talk to you (and no, that doesn't make them superficial; it's how the vast majority of us are wired, and how you present yourself says something about you).

The PA system is used to announce to the cabin non-trivial details: emergency exits, how the safety features of the airplane work, what is expected of passengers during the flight, flight times, expected turbulence, late arrivals, etc. These are not "mundane" details.
Also on a funny note, but related:

>sitting on it for a week wondering when I'll get in trouble.

Mandatory participation in a meeting isn't going to stop that. You take the proactive approach and ask for help, but you're asking in the meeting. Why wait? Fire off an email to the last person to look at the code? Send a chat message to the person who wrote that segment of the spec. Flag down your favorite senior developer on their way back from the restroom.

The question or problem can always wait until the daily meeting to be resolved, but it can't be answered until you ask.

I just discovered yesterday that I seem to have lost lots of Arq backups. I downgraded from Yosemite to Mavericks and the only backups Arq shows me are from after the downgrade.

I'll dive into this this weekend, I _really_ hope I didn't lose the actual files, just the indexes.
An important change in this release is the addition of the `rkt trust` subcommand so you can explicitly trust public keys for particular container names. In the blog post you can say you trust quay.io for everything or just particular prefix names:

rkt trust --prefix quay.io or
rkt trust --prefix quay.io/philips
At small venues it's often just because the band is playing loudly. Some drummers play pretty loudly, some guitarists play amps that sound better with the volume cranked, and then singers are going to want the vocals louder in the monitors so they can actually hear themselves over the loud drums & guitar.

If stage volume is loud, the sound guy is likely going to push the volume even louder, both so that he has some level of control over it, and because sound coming off the mains is going to sound a lot clearer than if you're hearing everything off the stage monitors and then reflected off the back wall (yes, even if that means things are louder, they can still be clearer).
Thanks for the suggestion, will check that book.

Oh, I know. But it's rare that a webapp does things computational enough that it's worth the extra overhead - most lagginess is actually at the UI level, in my experience (and why virtual DOMs are so popular now).

I've seen Web Workers used in things like graphing libraries, though.

I'm not sure what you mean about being publicly traded gets you permanent capital? THe only capital you receive is from the stocks your company sells. All the subsequent trading doesn't benefit the company - after the IPO proceeds (and subsequent offerings that may be issued), the stocks are only a liability to the issuing company.
Regarding moving script code off the main thread: I wrote a cooperative FRP engine that multiplexes signal graph update recalculation onto Web Workers. UI updates like virtual DOM would live on the main thread.

I have a few theories:

- The people deciding already have significant hearing loss and don't realize

- People who are into venue sound stuff tend to like music very very loud

- The majority of customers are actually relieved not to have the burden of needing to carry on a conversation (b/c doing so is impossible).

Not sure which of the above it is. A similar mystery is why it's considered OK for motorcycles to be extremely loud, even with modified mufflers designed to make them louder. I don't buy the safety argument, since the same could apply to any motor vehicle or pedestrian.
Mechanical Keyboard Switch Guide
Typing, phantom typing, straightforward lambdas, sum types, tail-recursion, direct syntax abstractions (both Lisp and Idris are great examples).

I find that metaprogramming in Ruby is a tremendous hack for getting something like syntax abstraction and something like control over evaluation order. Personally, syntax abstraction doesn't feel super important for deep or shallow embedded DSLs (though it's obvious a big deal in external DSLs if you want to walk that minefield). You need more than nothing, but making it "human language like" is ridiculous.

Controlling flow is a big part of it though. Ruby's block syntax does a lot here, but frankly functions/abstractions never feel first class in Ruby---only Objects do and Objects are too heavyweight.

So why publish it, when you can just calculate and trade on the info? Though the costs of getting all the data might hurt the profitability of this plan. (The resellers charge per tweet, so you'd need to fall back to a sampling scheme, though that might be his enough.)

> Seems like there's another option -- open source your project and also charge for a license to use it.

If you open source your project, unless you're using an unusual definition of open source, you've provided a free-of-charge, sublicensable license to use, modify, and distribute it. (Or, at least, a license that the licensee is free to sublicense without charging the sublicensee or paying an additional fee to you, so even if you are charging for the direct licenses, the more you sell the greater the probability that it will be available at no charge.)

You could open source it and charge a fee for professional support, however, which is a fairly common model.
I could believe it. I just flew Spirit (never again, for reasons in addition to this) a couple of weeks ago, and they spent the last 20 minutes or so of the flight hawking some kind of credit card deal. Even wearing earplugs barely put a dent in the volume.
I completely agree with what you're saying about their needing to be context around those individuals. And I also agree that the 10x people are a myth. What I do know is that, in software, I have interviewed software engineers with VERY similar resumes, pedigrees, etc. and there are HUGE gaps when we've actually worked with them. Absolutely enormous gaps.

Perhaps this is simply too anecdotal and I've had a poor experiences, but I can say, in my personal experiences, most candidates we've talked with are doing 1x and there are other candidates doing 2x, 3x, or better. Perhaps not 10x, but I have definitely seen very similar people on paper deliver on VERY different levels.
Well, in my country people do have the right to sleep unimpeded (between 10pm and 6am). One that is regularly enforced, actually, so it’s not just on the books.

Is that such an outlandish concept?
Can be. I see a lot of those, but rules engines are far from the only denotation of a DSL. It just tends to be that people want DSLs to be sort of natural language which drives people to end up with something like predicate logic which drives people to end up with something like Prolog and then you might as well have a rules engine.
I think the author answered their own question with this statement: "I’ve been on flights where the sound of the flight attendants over the PA system was loud enough to sound like the attendant was shouting directly into my ear despite having two layers of sound protection."

The PA system in the airplane is part of the safety equipment, the crew uses it to inform the passengers during an emergency what they should do to prepare. Everyone knows that during a flight people will have noise cancelling earphones on and possibly dual layers of protection. Also the ambient noise in an aircraft with its nose pitched down at a steep angle or in an uncontrolled spin is likely to be quite high. The PA has to cut through all of that in order to communicate with you.

I agree it would be nice if they didn't use full emergency power during non-essential communication, but the FAA considers the safety briefing to be essential communication so you are out of luck there.
Where did 40 factors come from? That seems to be entirely arbitrary - I'm not seeing any of the usual factorization diagnostics like scree plots or fits.
Ah, I'm sorry - I'm a big Scrum proponent and I forgot that standups aren't always just a small team. What you described sounds pretty painful and more like a progress report that may not benefit the team much. I think I'd also feel intimidated in that situation and would probably seek out help separate from the standups. Any way you could plant the seed to break these standups into smaller groups based on the areas of the project you're working on? I think it could help!

I've been running Crunchbang for two years. It is the only distro that had working media buttons, multi touch trackpad, close lid -> sleep working out of the box on my T420. Not sure if any of this changed but all the other distros I tried required me to write config files and bash scripts. Sad to see it go.
They lost the one factor that was truly differentiating. Arguably, it was the reason we got so excited the first time around.

I feel as though the entire market is screaming for something obvious to exist. It's so obvious, so compelling, so useful...

And so far away.

Why do we even have "desktops" and "laptops" and "phones" and "tablets" and "wearable watches" and so forth? Actually, the rise of the wearable watch gives us the biggest clue: it's because we care about form factors.

When I'm on the subway, I want something to hold in my hand. When I'm in a big hurry or on a jog, I want to glance at something on my wrist. When I'm in bed but don't want to disturb my partner, I want to interact with a larger yet personal tablet. When I want to type something (including code) or interact with content in more involved ways, I want something with a mouse and a keyboard. When I want to have a state of the art immersion experience, I want something with a lot of horsepower (and preferably a head mounted display of some sort).

Why do I have to have different computers for all of this when all I want is different I/O modalities (and related computing expansion devices)? Why do we keep ignoring the fact that what we want is the ability to experience our virtual world in the input / output environment that suits us at this moment? Everything else is secondary.

I was so excited when the original Ubuntu Edge was announced, because I felt that FINALLY someone had figured out how to make the thing we've all been screaming for. But now I'm not so sure Canonical really "got it" after all. If they did, it would have been the first feature they kept, not the first one they cut. To even call it a "feature" is diminutive. It's a paradigm that wants to exist.

We've seen already with the Motorola Atrix that it's harder than it sounds to get this right. But why is it THIS hard? Why can't we start with a phone that can be the CPU for wearables and tablets, and that can dock into a higher horsepower "GPU station" with a mouse and a keyboard and a monitor when we need it? You don't have to nail the performance profile as much as you have to nail why the experience is obviously better. I argue that you don't need a supercomputer in your pocket to pull that off.

Is it just me on this, or what?
You could use fpm.

But the point is: can you pack every single dependency in your project? Usually you'll need something from the outside distro (libc usually). Then if you're building on a different host than your target, you may experience issues or different runtime behaviour.
