You know that kind of bullying where someone grabs someone else's arm and uses it to hit them in the head with their own hand, while yelling "Stop hitting yourself! Why are you hitting yourself?"?

Javascript's automagic semicolon is that, and you're the kind of person who condones it.

Yes, at the end of the day one has to learn how to deal with the automagic semicolon, if one doesn't just give up on Javascript wholesale and finds a way to write better languages. However the very presence and behavior of that code in every javascript interpreter is still a cruel misbehavior whose implementation was a mistake. It is just as cruel and as much of a mistake to imply even in the slightest way that it isn't.

The correct response is to not blame the coder who stumbles over that, but to gently let them know that yes, Javascript is a bad language, and to gracefully show them how to not fall into that trap.

> You can transport value across the world instantly, with no intermediaries. This is a major efficiency gain.

Since (A) there is an intermediary and (B) it is not efficiency (which I'm assuming is a euphemism for cheap anyway).
See my other answer here but basically I see all of these things as the same: find a trend, abstract it with algorithms/risk models, exploit that trend and then walk away when the trend inevitably breaks.
ridiculous!
quay.io offered a free 6 month trial for private repos once upon a time. that's why it's there :) now that it's public it could go anywhere really, and it would simplify installation for people to not have to set up quay.io credentials when they're not actually using it for anything private. i plan to fix this soon.
Also that there's almost no reason to want to make truly anonymous purchases. Because it implies legality to the activity in question (otherwise why are you paying for it?)

And if it is illegal just because the actual money is somewhat anonymous (which Bitcoin isn't, really) doesn't mean that the change in material wealth is unnoticeable.

I didn't get that impression from the mailing list post. They were exploring ways of adding more security depending on context. That's a long way from "https only feature". Perhaps the user just needs to acknowledge the switch (instead of just being notified of it)? Or set a browser flag to override?
Programmers can easily resonate to this blog. But I think this is the moment of truth of transition from a programmer to an engineer where you realize you are better off creating something on your own from the ground up than working for someone else's creation.
Your fellow "conservatives" are mostly such in name only. They've been convinced that the Republican Party is the conservative party despite the fact that they're anything but, and they mold their positions to match. It's sad.

The cost to send a marginal bit on your ISP is essentially zero. This doesn't mean it's cheap to keep an ISP going.

The primary cost is that they have to keep building. My neighbors are going to want more and fatter Netflix streams all at the same time that my family wants them. That requiring increasing the maximum capacity at peak demand time.

Ah I was born mid80s so grew up after the deregulation. My brother once moved into a flat where the previous tenant had rented their phone from BT but moved without telling them, leading to many threatening letters from BT regarding the phone.

One thing I am surprised about these days is how RUBBISH home phones are. Given the advances in cheap mobile phone technology and the finishes/quality even on cheap devices, home phones still feel like toys and have abysmal quality and no features - I would love to pair a bluetooth headset to a base station and wander around but apparently this is entirely beyond the normal use patterns envisioned by manufacturers. It's very frustrating - I almost want to go back to a 1980s polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride rotary phone.

I've never voted in an election where the ONLY thing on the ballot was the president.

If you aren't voting you are missing out on all your local and state level elections which you most certainly can effect change in. I would definitely encourage anyone to at least go to the polls and take a look at the ballot, there are almost always state level amendments and propositions to vote on that can have major effects on your state

But that's the way it currently is. And so little 12-year-old Janie gets a $3,000 "demand to pay" letter for downloading a Britney Spears song with the threat of a lawsuit that will take her family's house away if she refuses. Maybe having a somewhat impartial legal entity in between is more protection for the consumer.
What most people don't realize about VC is that:

First, there are two VC industries. There is the one that funds biotech and clean-tech and there is the bubble-centric consumer web one that gets all the press here. The first exists to fill a gap (R&D projects that the mainstream private sector is too cowardly to try) and isn't sexy because the upfront capital costs are very high, meaning VCs take a lot of the money, meaning that founders becoming billionaires is next to impossible. But on the whole, the VCs in that sector are actually pretty ethical. Obviously, they're in the game to make money, but they're trying to make it the honest way: by capitalizing good businesses. The second, sleazier VC industry-- the one with the slimy co-funding/back-channeling culture that funds a lot of stupid ideas and frat boys-- is the one that gets all the press here.

As for that sector of VC, they're in the business of taking strategies that are profitable but illegal in public markets (e.g. market manipulation, insider trading) and applying them to private stocks that are less well-regulated. They encourage (and, sometimes, demand) extreme risk taking because they don't really care which businesses go up and down, they just want volatility (for it's own sake) in the market, never mind if this leads to bad decisions and damages the careers of people they view as peasants.

The slimy consumer-web build-to-flip VC will also never leave California. Why? Because a lot of the note-sharing that VCs engage in is illegal and simply can't be done except in-person, because it would be too devastating if the phone logs or emails ever surfaced in discovery. For one of many examples, they make a lot of back-channel reference calls in deciding whether to fund someone, and it's a well-known fact of HR that the main (if not the only) reason to make a back-channel reference call is to violate EEOC provisions.

What a bright, shiny future we live in where "Docker!" is the answer to all problems.
If we're talking about the modern purpose of a "Hello, world!" program, then I agree. However, at the time the idea was originated, and I'm sure for a good time afterwards, build processes and frameworks weren't as mainstream as they are today. Therefore the function of a "Hello, world!" program was simply to test out the basic features of the language. That's the way I see it.
I have found going outside and observing nature or looking at fields/birds if they're close by can help your mind drift. I work in an office but if I get chance I like to go outside and sit a short drive away by the fields.

For the most part though I use my lunchtimes working on my own code, as I am in the "working" mental state; it is easier to use the drive home as the unwind time (resisting the urge to drive fast, as this doesn't help unwinding).
If you are looking for talented developers/designers etc. for your SV startup, just let freelancers from other countries telework for you.
The real-world dress is blue and black. To my eye the photo was very obviously overexposed (look at the top right).
I believe, the underlying cause of '08 crash was short term profit mentality. Some large financial institutions knew that the financial instruments built on the top of sub-prime/very risky mortgages were bound to fail. So much, that some of them bet against the very instruments they sold off to investors. And there were other ones too, which predicted this successfully and made a lot of money.
The biggest breakthrough here is the FDA's acceptance of basket studies-- claiming that they would approve drugs on it alone. That's a big win for patients, who based on current practices, would have found themselves in the control group.

paz documentation, presentations and (now out of date) website mention CD and environments a lot because it has always been a design goal of Paz to enable a CD workflow and give you quick and easy developer environments.

as it currently stands it's far from having achieved that. i ripped out the environments stuff before open-sourcing it because it was half-baked and hacky. expect these things to start coming back into paz in the coming months. what remains that's related to CD is really just that it can receive webhooks from the docker hub / quay.io so you can have a pipeline like git push -> webhook to CI server -> run tests -> docker build -> docker push -> webhook to paz for deployment.

as for orchestration and traditional PaaS functionality, i tend to agree with you and it's arguable whether or not Paz is actually a PaaS in the sense most people use that term. Paz is a platform that can run your services with a PaaS-like workflow. that's probably a more accurate way of putting it.

re "no special code", there is a little magic. paz creates a sidekick unit for your services that will announce them in Etcd. it uses Confd to watch for changes to announcements and reconfigures HAProxy under the hood. i need to document this :)

But why would every translator stop working or creating new works just because machines can do the job too? I don't think computer written novels will mean people stop telling stories.

Translation is an interpretation of the best phrase to use, and has a subjective element. Imagine trying to translate jokes - it depends on your sense of humor too.
For brain-intensive work you need at least 6 if not 7, optimally 8 hours of sleep per day. What you're describing - sleep from 2:30 to 7:30 - is a 5h sleep schedule. If I do that, after the 3rd day, I'd had troubles concentrating on anything.

When I was in the army, I found myself into a situation where for several reasons I managed to sleep 4 hours in 3 days. In the 3rd day, I had to stay awake until 14:30 (that was the time my service was about to end, which would permit me to sleep for 6 hrs uninterrupted). I remember that from 6:00 to 14:00 I was literally hallucinating. The effect was so strong, that I still remember vividly the dreams I had over that 6 hours. I had to be sitting on various desks to perform some or no (real) work at all. I was literally falling asleep on the chair. My lieutenant was trying to keep awake somehow until 14:00, in order to make me avoid jail-time in case his superiors realize my real condition. I wasn't able to pick up a conversation without falling asleep. Even 2 seconds of closing my eyes, would immediately indulge me into a sort of a dream, involving the people around me.

One of the few things I've learned in the army was that I can be operative for 8-10 hours if I sleep 4 hours per night. Then I need to get some sleep, otherwise I switch in dumb mode. After the 3rd day, I start hallucinating :-)

>By the time a Bitcoin adoption of 7 billion users becomes anywhere near realistic you will probably have this kind of storage and CPU capacity in your Smartwatch.

If this type of processing power became true, other things would become untrue. For example the cumulative hash-breaking power of the world would be much, much higher. Also we'd have effectively limitless energy sources (how are you powering that multi-core smartwatch?)

And it would still be a much better use of resources to do literally anything else for currency.

I love technology and computers, but I found a job that doesn't require me to be thinking about things non-stop. I work less than 40 hours a week (even though I'm salaried), but I still work in my field of choice. It doesn't stress me out. Do I make less than the average computer guy? Maybe a little bit. But hey, its one less massive thing to worry about. I can go home and not think about it. Instead, I can think about side projects and other fun things.

Don't let yourself get burned out so much from your current job that you end up hating your field. Its what you're good at, right? Use that skill to do good things. Driving yourself crazy shouldn't be one of them.

Wow. What a great discussion. I'm sad to have missed it.

I have exactly this problem: NOT ENOUGH TIME. Beyond my 40 hr/week programming job, I play or coach football (depending on the season). I'm a hobby artist but I honestly don't do much art anymore due to time constraints. I also joined the competitive Smash scene a while back but realized that I couldn't invest the time it takes to get good.

I completely agree: you can't have it all. You know that college saying: sleep, grade, friends, pick two? Well I chose sleep and grades. (Not to say that I didn't have friends, but I ended up being THAT friend that never really commits to anything. "I'll see if I have time.")

Post-college time is still my greatest struggle. I don't play Smash that much anymore because of time. There a lot of video games that I think, "Man, I could get really good at this game, but I don't have the time for it. Ugh." Right now I'm playing through the Mass Effect series for the second time. ME2 & 3 will probably be the only games I beat in 2015.

I do many of the things mentioned in this thread. Drop off laundry service. I can cook but I've gotten into the terrible habit of eating out. I spend way too much money on food! Most days I'm so mentally drained that I'd honestly rather eat some ramen than plan out a nice meal.

My two best investments in the kitchen are 1) George Foreman Grill, 2) fancy Japanese rice cooker.

I am very much looking forward to medical school this fall where I'll have more flexibility in my schedule.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I opened a 26,000 line file (no I don't want to talk about it). In vim it opened instantly and my scrolling was only limited by my key repeat rate. The scrolling isn't as smooth looking because vim doesn't animate the scrolling between lines. Sublime took 2 seconds to open the same file, and scrolling was smooth.

Maybe you are using to many vim plugins? I'll admit vim plugins are a real problem, the gui rendering desperately needs to be moved to its own thread.
Very informative, thank you!

> I think the point is not necessarily that "text editors intrinsically require gigabytes of RAM and gigahertz CPUs", but that they have "insane" latency requirements.

What about the latency requirements is insane, then? I can't think of what "insane" could possibly mean in this context other than technically challenging or infeasible.

> A browser is a tough place to build a text editor.

I agree. To some extent I'd call that in itself an "insane requirement". The merge request proves, however, that you can attain reasonable performance by avoiding additional abstractions on top of the already very abstracted platform. Looking at the call graphs, Javascript itself or even the DOM obviously were far from being the bottlenecks.
A language having static or dynamic typing is only a part of the puzzle. Having tools that let you understand a codebase better through static typing is more important. With a statically typed language you have the compiler as a baseline, but it enables IDEs to do far more powerful things.
"The primary cost is that they have to keep building [capacity]."

Demonstrably false. AT&T and Verizon stopped with the Great Recession. US Worst/Century never seriously played that game in the first place. Don't follow the cablecos much since I'm (just) outside of a city and only have non-U-verse 150 GB/month AT&T as an option, but don't a lot of them also cap in a variety of ways, including just peering congestion, especially since Netflix directly competes with them?

Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember watching "We're the phone company, we don't have to care", and that hasn't changed much. Cablecos, I suppose we'll see.
You're 20 years old, and you use computers after 9PM, I presume. Therefore the time shifting you experience is perfectly normal, and is not necessarily because you are a night owl.
I don't think that your monitor determines whether you see a white/gold dress or not. At first the picture looked blue to me, no matter where I placed the fader.
I left the fader on the right, continued browsing and somehow I forgot to close the tab. When I eventually came back to this tab I asked myself: "Why did I open a picture of a white/gold dress? Oooh..." However, when I then moved the fader to the left it quickly became blue again.

I could imagine that there are two effects at work.

1. My brain has some kind of caching-error when I slowly slide the fader to the right as it refuses to update all information necessary to see the real colors.
(not white and gold but the actual blue tone)

2. The bright white spot on the right hand side is sort of a focal point. When you look at it first it alters how you perceive the rest of the picture. (causing an afterimage-like effect)

if 1 doesn't happen (i.e you see the photo of the right hand side first) and 2 does happen, then the picture looks white/gold (to me)
Netflix is only winning in the U.S and some western Europe states. Given the current political issues and copyright enforcement it is unlikely to win in the East unless it is dirt cheap. And I'm not sure if Netflix has same day TV releases. If not, then it can't compete with same day releases.
