This approach is effective, but is stateful and iterative. There's elegance and quite likely reduced computational load in a functional approach that can give the wave height value with only the inputs of the coordinates and time. That's what the post is going for here.

Wave phenomena are a curious intersection of functional and imperative paradigms in real life. Of course the real atoms find their positions by stateful interactions over time, but the behavior should approach the pure mathematical definition of the wave functions.
I guess the other question you might want to ask is - do you have any actual evidence that "anti"-vaxxers caused this or just plain un-vaccinated people from outside of the country?

> We will rather record the mutations (or more accurately, the transitions between immutable states), and just replay them on the client.

Few questions -

How can we replay all the mutations?

How about instead of replaying, if we just show the last mutation? Will it not be the same thing?

I think this flux architecture will work best only in chatting applications. This approach is also making the app itself very chatter so performance concerns in case you do not have strong machines.

I think on form pages this flux approach may not be required.
Honestly, this is one of those things that I'm never going to use because it's Web 2.0 and doesn't need to be.

Your core functionality is cool: I definitely would like something that allows me to mix background noises.

But why am I signing up for your service? That has nothing to do with what I want from your app. That just gets in the way of using your app.

Why is there integration with Google Drive? That has nothing to do with background sounds and those permissions aren't happening.

Okay, so you're using the Google Drive integration for your integrated text editor. Why is there a text editor integrated? I have a workflow with a text editor and unless there's something I don't know here, my text editor is better and yours is just going to get in my way. And in fact I can probably name 10 text editors that are better than yours--unless your core product is a text editor, you're probably not going to beat out folks who are actually focused on making a text-editor.

I'd pay <= $10 for your app if I could download it without signing up for anything, without extraneous features, and use it from my taskbar without requiring an internet connection. Ideally I'd configure it once and never have to touch it again except to turn the sound on and off.

As is, this doesn't make it any easier to get good background noise than just keeping a collection of .mp3s on my hard drive, because the interface comes with so much unnecessary cruft. Tools like this don't encourage productivity, they encourage pointless tinkering.

Call me a dick if you like, but I'd love the web to contain a little middleground between mindless listicles and sentences like "Technically, the errors above come from ksh, when execve fails because there’s no room left in the new process to copyout argv."

Swift is just a language specification. It cannot be patented or copyright-ed. Anyone is free to make tools around the language specification. Just like there are many compilers for C/C++ on different platforms, we intend to make one for Swift on Linux/Windows.

I worked for RadioShack in the early 90's. It feels like that was the beginning of the end. Like you I had grown up a tinkerer and would visit their stores at least twice a month. This had continued throughout my teen years in the 80s. When I was hired, in '91 there was a feeling of a change in company ethics happening. There were the older, more experienced, long time employees as well as a batch of newer, younger, less knowledgeable kids. While I can't prove it, there was a sense that the company was trying to shed their image and take on a new, younger appeal. Home computers were the big tech item of the time. In the rural area where I grew up there were not as many young people like myself who were interested in computers or tech in general. I know, it was hard to find people my age with similar interests. I imagine RadioShack had to start hiring 'smiling faces' instead of knowledgeable people in many places during that period.

The management was worked hard, we were worked hard. It was thankless work with many expectations any reasonably smart person would scoff at. Spontaneous 8-hour inventories announced the day of, maybe 4 hours in advance are merely the tip of the iceberg. What I saw there were young employees who desperately needed a job, any job that didn't require flipping burgers or working at refineries doing manual labor. They didn't know anything about the products we were selling. I became the go to guy in our store for all knowledge. I eventually couldn't take the abuse and left for greener pastures. The people who stayed were grunt labor, not the kind of people you want selling tech outside of a mobile-phone store; just smiling faces.

As the years went on I visited the store less and less as they just didn't have the stuff I needed, or when I did buy something there it would be of terrible quality and I would regret the purchase. I believe that had a lot to do with their slow decline, a need to modernize in the 90's coupled with a lack of knowledgeable people. You can't keep skilled talent if you treat them like slaves.

You mean all the unnecessary paperwork for every EU member state affected by the VAT changes?

And it's of course entirely reasonable to expect your users to know that they have to do the paperwork for contributions in the 1-10 dollar range themselves without ever explicitly telling them.

I'm not even sure that level of information is available to the users. If I were being funded on Patreon, would I have to get in touch with every single patron and ask them for their VAT details? And what would I do if someone didn't answer?

This is no different from the borderline criminal behaviour Uber and AirBnB are encouraging.

Sounds like his argument is that he's willing to pay a larger amount of money for a subscription based service that has excellent selection. How does that ignore economic reality?
No, though to my mind the separation is not really required for this trivial of an install.

I would want the separation if I was running untrusted code, or if I was running custom software which required non-standard library dependencies. Then I'd want to split off that code, not necessarily every process.

Nginx and PostgreSQL in particular written well enough to compartmentalize themselves within their own processes, and don't typically require additional isolation.

Would you be willing to share approximately what it costs you? I saw your post here and deleted-before-posting speculation that Patreon simply can't make the numbers sensibly work out (bearing in mind they have to grow by offering an attractive package to both those who donate and create; if, for instance, 50% of the "donations" go into tax compliance there simply won't be any donations anyhow), but if we can get real numbers that would be even better.

Of course, that's assuming you have a similar problem to Patreon, where the author claims that every patron would be involved in the VATMOSS transaction, which I can't speak to at all. If it's just a line-item per book for you but a line item per EU patron for Patreon that's not comparable.

The title of the article is poor. Children are called adults when they have grown up and that's what the subject of the article is, an adult.

I'm not on some political correctness bender. Thinking about adults with autism as "grown up children" is at best neutral. Most likely it just feeds the misconception that adults with autism have the minds of children. At worst it suggests that children with autism growing up is problematic - and this is an idea that has long currency as the predominate attitude among western cultures.

Nobody is writing articles the "When Children with Dyslexia Grow Up" or "When Gifted Children Grow Up" because we implicitly accept that people with these identifying traits are adults when they have grown up. Why not just call the article "Adults with Autism"?

Because the article is largely about how bad being around an an adult with autism made the author feel. There's more about how hard it was to go into work than about his antagonist’s suffering childhood sexual abuse - and in narrative form the autistic adult is the author's antagonist no two ways about it. The arc is of the author disconnecting himself from the relationship.

Now don't get me wrong, the freeing is a rational choice. But this is a story about the normal person and Scooter is always "the other." Casting him as "a child grown up" rather than an adult makes the ultimate "He aint my kid" decision palatable because it denies normal adult bonds - the author can't be held to the standards of an adult relationship: friendship and just plain good manners of saying goodbye because it is the right thing todo are off the table.

It's really fucking hard to sort through and classifying adults with autism as grown children doesn't make it easier to get it right.
> persecution that Nazis commenced right when they were able to, post January 1933

> Nazis starting to do what Hitler had promised to do, to start his actions on the road to the Holocaust.

Can you source those claims? I don't remember Hitler giving any orders to start a persecution of Jews, but I do remember mainstream holocaust historian Raul Hilberg saying under oath in a 1985 Toronto trial that there are no documents to source that claim, and that the Nazis conducted what they did through a "meeting of minds, a consensus mind-reading by a far-flung bureaucracy". Without documentation, this is conspiracy theory at best.

No doubt the Nazis killed millions of Jews. But they did not conspire to do so. Let's make sure we teach people real history, not conspiracy theories with hidden pro-Israel agendas. The Nazis committed innocenticide at a large scale, but after 1970s WWII became all about the chosen people, and I thought we were all Africans.

I'll preempt your calling me "anti-Semite" by saying I have nothing against any ethnicity (but I do have something against religions that say their people are better than other people, like the Nazi religion or the Judaism religion, in fact I'm against all religions) and I do not believe for a second that religious Jews conspire in any way, like Raul Hilberg believes the religious Nazis conspired through mind reading. That, my friends, is preposterous.

Edit: If you read Raul Hilberg's book The Destruction of European Jews you'd learn that in 1933 the final solution was deportation. Only after 1941 is it ever seriously claimed by mainstream historians that the final solution became killing. So Judea declared war on Germany over their plans to deport Jews. This should put things in perspective and this is mainstream history no matter how uncomfortable for you it is to accept.

PS: if you do come up with a source, please also address why Raul Hilberg did not consider that a source when he testified under oath in 1985.

PPS: downvoters, could you please point out where I'm wrong or why am I deserving of downvoting?

well, technically the web site was named after the sort of problem discussed. although in this case the stack problems aren't due to application programmers making mistakes as they usually are, it is due to the OS programmers making the location the stack start random for security reasons. then counting that against the amount of memory applications use and resulting in the error
>The main problem with this data is that the definition of autism has expanded over time.

How do we know this is the case and not that it was under-diagnosed in the past? I also see this logic with ADHD. Yet in the past, a lot of these children would be shoved off to group homes or labeled 'slow' and such. At least with diagnosis they have a chance for recovery. I don't think past diagnosis stats are unquestionable. We actually don't know what the real rate should be. At least not yet.
Great concept!

I guess the selection that will occur based on the price can be either positive or negative depending on your taste.

One of the reason to join one of these communities, I would think, is to socialize and network with interesting individual... and you might want to pay extra for that. Then again, if the prize de facto excludes the people you find interesting than not so much :)

I think I'd try to do a little prize segmentation with tiered costs, that way you could perhaps get more interesting people and maximize profit. Then again maybe it will book fully using these prizes

I'd be interested in experiences with what IPO means for internal processes, especially in the software engineering parts of the company.

Any more supervision? Did the way development and deployments work change? I can imagine when you're publicly traded the higher ups might suddenly care much more about being on the safe side of things and try to enforce stricter rules.

Just out of curiosity, is it stated anywhere that Swift is memory-safe in parallel mode?

I admit to not being intimately familiar with Swift, but I assume it is (or is aiming to be), because Objective-C objects are all atomically reference counted, and the language makes an effort to section off the unsafe parts (via names like "UnsafeMutablePointer").

> (I assume that whatever implementation exists is similar for Rc'ed objects in Rust, assuming Swift is indeed parallel-memory-safe.)

Rc is not thread safe, but the language and libraries prevent Rc'd objects from ever moving between threads, so the lack of thread safety of Rc doesn't make the language less thread-safe. There is a separate type, Arc, that is thread-safe and can be sent between threads. (Arc also prevents mutation of the protected data without a mutex or atomic operations.) Swift's approach, by contrast (as far as I know) is to atomically reference count all objects. (This approach is inherited from Objective-C, and more broadly Core Foundation. It mirrors COM and various other component systems.)
Love the modular idea of literally using the drawer (we plan something similar for the kitchen cold storage).

And how much profit would those customers have given you? Each sale is tiny, and repeat business is going to be for different obscure components, not for more of the same.

With individual components being so cheap in quantity, people (hobbyists/professionals) are only looking to solve an immediate problem, and will then go place a larger order of assorted stock so that problem never happens again. Radio Shack would have had to be a lot more intelligent about which components they carried to ever function as anyone's "stock room". And that possibility is further shot as the last of peoples' uncomfortableness with online shopping fades.

I think there's perhaps still some room for selling a fewer skus of large assortments (lower margin/overhead), but as part of a larger store that covers the fixed costs and provides impulse buyers thinking about getting into the hobby.
We integrated Taxamo (http://www.taxamo.com/) into Leanpub, and their posted fees (http://www.taxamo.com/pricing/) start at 20 Euro cents for every EU transaction. Non-EU transactions are free.

In terms of detecting whether the transaction is EU or not, there's a complicated workflow with 3 pieces of evidence etc, but (a) that's what Taxamo helps with and (b) if a bootstrapped Canadian startup can deal with this, presumably so could anyone else.
