You might have a hidden diamond for team collaboration here, but after reading more than most potential customers will, I'm not sure exactly what it is.

I'm not a fan of the to-do/chat combination. There just isn't a lot of intersection between the things on my to-do list and the things I want to chat about. Who wants to chat about their grocery list? Who would contact their family about dinner plans with this instead of a phone call, text message, Tweet, etc. just because they can easily save a to-do item? Perhaps this has other uses.

Consider extremely detailed user stories. Who might want to this? A software product manager communicating with the technical team about features and bugs; a high-school student and her study group; an extended family planning a vacation together?

What would they share, and how does this tool help? Why would they use something new instead of a phone, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, preferred existing group to-do list app, or a thousand other tools? What are their favorite colors; favorite words; turn-offs?

Kudos on what you've done so far. And remember, even if this fails as a startup (most do), it certainly demonstrates your skills. Hopefully it will open doors.

Oh...and don't bankrupt yourself working on this. That would just be crazy.
Agree it in the list of things to do.
The "point" of SOAP is to have an autogenerated API layer + objects on client and server side.

The problem is that this does not actually help much in validating data sent or received. In addition, the client side SoapFooData you might receive is unlikely to be something that you want to pass around, so you still need wrappers for most complex structures.

Working with SOAP is complex even for extremely simple APIs, and for complex ones you will end up NOT using the generated objects anyway.

Finally implementations are generally buggy and incompatible with each other. And generated code is something that should be strongly avoided.

So in short: SOAP is complex and in return you get something that's pretty much useless (generated objects)
> That "some asshole" wouldn't call the police if they thought "hey, there's chrisBob's daughter, probably headed to the park to play".

We have plenty of examples where people thought "Hey, that's $NAME, they would not abuse children" and then reports from children of abuse from $NAME were discounted.
Many know a lot about intelligence, but it's piecemeal and has not been adequately integrated -- even if there was an excellent theory/model/account, difficulties of implementation, testing, or comprehension could delay (or even prevent!) such theories from gaining popular acceptance (see, e.g., conceptual blending). I chalk this up to epistemological and organizational problems as much as to ones of complexity and the difficulty of acquiring data.

Further, there seems to be a fallacy implicit in the line of thought expressed in your comment, along the lines of: "because there's no generally agreed upon positive account for how cognition works, AGI is impossible in the near term." The fact is there does not need to be any generally agreed upon positive account of intelligence for us to be worried about AGI. Excellent accounts of how intelligence work can be contained in the minds of a few researchers who aren't going to the trouble of publishing them and proving them to others. Instead, they're just hard at work on the highest payoff activity: designing software that realizes and proves their vision/idea.

We have little idea of the progress such teams are making, or the goodness of the cognitive models they're working from. And only one of these individuals/teams needs to be right.
Whoever is the most relevant gets the shorter name, in a kind of Huffman-like coding. If you say "Bush" now, people think you mean the 43rd president, even though earlier they would have thought of the 41st president.
Governmental -- i.e., public -- communications are supposed to be available for review. Certainly, the Secretary of State can legitimately claim national security issues, but using an external system just gives the appearance that Clinton would like to be able to obfuscate even-legitimate internal requests for her communication. For instance, the paper trail about Bengazi is already damning enough. I'm quite sure she'd like to avoid showing her office's internal -- and her personal -- correspondence on this issue. Unless you're suggesting that the NSA would present that communication (which I agree they have access to) in court, I think this is a non-sequitor.
I was speaking broadly and not actually directly about the name but using the name as an example. :)
Am I reading correctly that you think the elimination of middle-men in the market is a bad thing?
Didn't realize it was a 4 tuple, I was thinking of just the binding to the local port. Still, increasing the ephemeral range will cause problems with applications relying on ports outside the default ephemeral range.
Fantastic.

Once you have let me know and I will put you on the beta list so you can get to play around with some of the cool new stuff we are implementing.
I've been desensitized enough that it doesn't seem that bad. At least he wrote "reach out" rather than "initiate the onboarding funnel."

I rather someone call the police than let this happen. What if a child is kicking and screaming because it is not their parent that is holding them and taking them away? Better safe than sorry. Children will kick and scream and be upset, of course, but I rather have good citizen keeping an eye out when don't look normal.
I think it executes it as a script, though. Like, it uses a compiler but isn't itself a compiler.
Also, people who can't pronounce voiced consonants at the end of syllables (such as german, dutch, french people) can't help but hear it as FuckBugs.

"Yes, I recommend FuckBugs!"
This seems like a wonderful deal, right?

Wonderful, yes. But I see many more "it's 5%, not free" comments than "OMG 5% is soooo expensive."

These engines are not free, you just don't pay up front. It's a great success of their marketing that news websites and internet commenters are willing to go to bat for the idea they're "free," when they're so very obviously not. If you use the product for it's intended purpose, you're paying. If they weren't going to make much money off of you in the first place, there is a free trial to get you using their platform.
So where has the money gone?

You don't need to install anything; you could put this on the first line of your file, and achieve the same effect, with just tools you already have installed:

//usr/bin/make -s "${0%.c}" && ./"${0%.c}" "$@"; s=$?; rm ./"${0%.c}"; exit $s

Actually, you could extend this to any file type that Make has built-in rules for, and which uses // as a comment delimiter:

//usr/bin/make -s "${0%.*}" && ./"${0%.*}" "$@"; s=$?; rm ./"${0%.*}"; exit $s
Actually that's one of the reasons I'm confused (Scala/Ruby interop). Thanks btw.
A quick note, I see a few big issues:

1. There's no guarantee that you can run anything directly out of /tmp/. IIRC lots of distros mount /tmp/ with noexec specifically so you can't do this. You might still be able to invoke ld directly to run it, but that's still kinda a hack to get around the noexec.

2. You need write access to the .c file. That means you can't install any scripts using this system-wide, because you won't have write-access to the .c source unless you're root.

IMO, the most obvious solution to the second is to make a copy of the .c source and edit that instead. AFAIK there isn't an easy solution to the first issue though.
If I see 'Bush' now I actually think Jeb, who wants to be #45.
If this were not happening in main(), then the following would be one way of handling the errors.

fn foo() -> Result<(),Error> {
// Create an event loop
let mut event_loop = try!(EventLoop::<(), u64>::new());
let sender = event_loop.channel();
for i in 0.. 5 {
try!(sender.send(i));
}
// Start it
try!(event_loop.run(&mut BearHandler(0));
}

Why must ARM have the most confusing part names? Where does the M0 fall in their lineup?
We have this on JotForm. You can use JotForm fully without creating an account. I think it is important to give people freedom to roam your product freely before making a decision to create an account.
Not necessarily, but allow me to clarify. What I am talking about is the middle-level entrepreneurs, not the middle-men in the sense of add a layer so they can skim off the top. I'm saying that if you look at the numbers, I am seeing a return of monopolistic industries across the board, and this is bad for the people and consumers. When is the last time we heard about a big anti-trust suit?
I don't know that I'd necessary push for ChaCha20, but lack of ciphertext authentication is a clear problem. AES-GCM or even AES-CBC with an HMAC that's validated prior to decryption can provide the needed authenticity checks.
Almost certainly the domain registration.

> Hoteham was listed as the customer at Clinton's $1.7 million home on Old House Lane in Chappaqua in records registering the Internet address for her email server since August 2010.

Does that sound like the information you get from running whois on an IP address or on a domain name?

> Clinton's private email server was reconfigured again to use a Denver-based commercial email provider, MX Logic

How the fuck would anybody know how her private server was reconfigured unless they're talking about mx records?
But you could (in theory), request them under a FIOA
I think this divide is only going to get worse with the adoption of edex and the like. First tier universities will continue to attract faculty and students, meanwhile second and third tier institutions will see a deterioration in their fortunes as students migrate to online education. It's not there yet by the stage is getting set. Any reprieve for adjunct faculty will likely be short lived.

So strong institutions will be on stronger and the weaker ones will lose out. Not sure what that means for the balance of hard sciences vs humanities, by my guess is that the less bankable humanities will lose out in money and influence.
Yeah, but is some low-level IT guy going to throw away his government career by confronting the United States Secretary of State with an accusation of wrongdoing?
That would be all sorts of counterproductive, starting with the simple fact that maybe the person had a reasonable 20%-likelihood guess and considered that high enough to bring police into it. Move just one step up and you've got people who are almost certain, but have a doubt, and since they'll get fined/punished if they're wrong then they don't call anyone, so the kid keeps being beaten and no cops ever know about it. Move another step up, and you've got more parents who would otherwise not have beaten their kids start falling down the slippery slope because no one is willing to face the potential consequences if they wrongly report a kid-beater.

That's just the first three nodes of a N>10^8 causal graph.

Wasting police time is an issue, yes. It would be even more of a waste of time trying to establish whether this person had reasonable cause to call the police or was just trolling. Not to mention the other consequences I touch on above.
It's not the NSA we're worried about. It's that Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton was receiving, storing, and transmitting official secrets illegally on a secret personal email server, subject to extreme risk of antagonistic foreign powers snooping that server and acquiring those secrets. One may wonder why she would arrange such a system in her own home. One may wonder if she wanted such covert foreign access to such documents, the security risks being so obvious.

First Ever Photo of Light as a Wave and Particle
I'm surprised that you seem to think that "slacker"/"non-slacker" is an intrinsic immutable property of a person rather than a situational response to incentives. I think most critics of tenure would argue that granting life long job security can and does cause "non-slackers" to adopt "slacker" behavior since they no longer have to compete for their job. The fact that someone worked hard to get tenure does not imply that they will continue to be productive when they have no competition.
Is there more nuance to this story than "a lot of players rushed into a sector, commoditizing it and meaning that only a few large players could ultimately survive the race to the bottom"?
You need to adjust the content on the first page of the site to match some things from the blog post, describing what it is. It would be great if you could add screenshots / gifs so people can quickly understands what it is.

There are too many apps created that say nothing on their landing page, and it feels frustrating for users when they cannot find / understand "what is this?".

Best of luck!
For all intents and purposes, yes, the people wouldn't know about it, but there's supposed to be some form of oversight into the actions of political officials, and this circumvents it.

Others already mentioned several places you made invalid assumptions. Any good engineer worth their salt is language agnostic. I agree there are some that are threatened simply because their favorite language is no longer hip. I personally couldn't care less what the next language du jour is, be it Go or otherwise. What I do care about is that when posts like these are written they confound too many things and squander away an opportunity to let the larger programmer community double check all the numbers and verify that indeed the language/runtime was the culprit instead of something else. As it stands this is just a good story to justify the sunk cost of a re-write and nothing more.
Who Is Eric Hoteham? Clinton's private server was registered under his name. Is he real?
Email notifications are totally configurable. I've set mine to "urgent alerts" & "free stuff" only, and otherwise just get daily digests.
I agree, and disagree.

What this product would be useful for isn't explained well, and I'm not sure even the OP knows.

But there's clearly something compelling here based on the attention we've all given it.
I applaud you. This must be the best hack I've seen so far.
Why Unreal, Unity, and Source Are Going Free
Well, the web has certain limitations (which are slowly being dealt with, but they exist nonetheless).
Ok. I still think my view is valid in terms of what people are trying to say. But yeah, what's best for business > being overly attached to something.
If you use the wsdl for discovery, then you are doing something that's rather dangerous as there are no guarantees what that method does or that it is correct -> use documentation instead. If the call is something important (e.g. money transfer) "exploring" rather than knowing is grounds for firing someone.
Some of the criticism is about the index, but most of the rest seems to be "why gitless?" and "how do I use it?", which are pretty well covered in the docs, I think.

I agree with you that the removal of the index was a bit orthogonal to the end goal of making gitless more consistent. I do agree with their decision (because I don't find the index that useful), but you're right in that they dumped the baby out with the bathwater by going with simplicity rather than just consistency.
I think the bigger issue is that she's skirting rules that the rest of gov't has to follow.

Similar to the trend of government setting rules for everyone that they conveniently exempt themselves from.
In a multi-user system, authorization isn't a personal custom configuration. One way or another, it's a social problem involving multiple actors, and those actors have identity that the system needs to distinguish.
I'm not in a position to critique the product at the moment, but it looks like there's plenty of feedback for you to work through anyway. Good luck!
3 open source projects that transformed Hadoop
Too hard for me to define. Like not hiring because the candidate didn't have "passion". I realize how frustrating & annoying it is to be disqualified based on such of an ambiguous intangible concept - it borderlines on nonsensical, but I strongly believe it exists.
The problem though is that if you eliminate the markers of credentials any field of information gets flooded with many people who don't have the requisite knowledge to be talking about said field in the first place. While you could make the argument that any investigation into this bogus research would reveal that the person is unreliable, in reality, doing such an investigation is incredibly time consuming. It's much more efficient to take a Ph.D or any other specific credential as a filter and make the general assumption that someone with that credential is more likely to be correct and have valid research.

Yeah, that assumption can and has been way wrong in the past, but I would argue that the valid/invalid ratio compared against the time needed to fully investigate every bit of research any person puts out is much preferred.
Minecraft was written from the ground up. Writing their own engine in Java has been the subject of great debate because of how poorly optimized it is, how every update shattered the mod scene, or how much work it takes to port it to all the various iterations on all the various platforms.

Terraria was written in .NET using XNA and met with huge success. But they too have seen similar problems and have to use external dev houses to get the game onto other machines.

Starbound is custom built. They messed up so badly with their initial build that it took them almost a year between releases to even release an update.

Kerbal Space Program _does_ use Unity, but even they hit a wall of shame caused by using the engine in a 32-bit variety. Mods are much easier because the platform is written using a "standard" framework, but the game will implode if you require more memory than 32-bit can address.

There are also plenty of success stories (Prison Architect might be my favorite game to watch develop) but I think the more complex the basis for the game, the smarter it might be to start with something that's proven and work your way up from there.
Could be part of it.

1. Add a link to the uninstall instructions on my download page. I told him that my uninstall was completely standard for the platforms I support (Windows and Mac). But he insisted.

I looked at point two:
2. Remove some links that were ‘redirections’ from my reviews page.

and was wondering what that was originally all about. Could be linking to malware, but I also do know that Google has become stricter in attacking linking practices where money could have exchanged hands. When you run an affiliate program with Amazon for instance, it is a good idea to "nofollow" these links, to make sure you don't run afoul of these rules.

Then again, it seems a lot of things just went wrong in this case. Having just received a warning that a 5-year-old 960.gs fixed width site of mine was delisted from Mobile search for being "not friendly to mobile users" I can now better sympathize.
That you for confirming everything I said.
To be fair though, FuckBugs would be a brilliant name for a bug tracker.
There are three levels to understanding contracts.

1) The language itself.

Contracts are written in English (at least in the U.S.), so anyone with a strong understanding of English can read one top to bottom and comprehend what it is saying.

Experience in analyzing writing (like from a few college English courses) can help a lot, both in learning to quickly parse sentences, and in learning to infer motivations from the language on the page. You always want to be able to answer "why did they write it this way? What are they trying to get?"

2) What is typical and standard in contracts.

You can only get this from experience--from reading a lot of contracts--because it's often industry-specific.

For example, many software contracts, even 6 figure enterprise deals, include an ALL CAPS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY. THIS SOFTWARE IS OFFERED AS-IS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY. WE DON'T GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK FOR YOUR PURPOSES, OR INDEED, WORK AT ALL.

I'm exaggerating, but not by much. This is a totally standard clause in the software industry, so whether or not you like it, you generally just have to swallow it if you want to do the deal

Likewise, most EULAs are very similar to one another. Once you've carefully read a few of them, you can quickly skim for the important bits (copyright, liability, data sharing) on new ones.

3) What the law says.

Contracts can't break the law. For example a contract that contains lies would be fraudulent. A contract that says you need to speed or drive drunk is not enforceable. A contract that says you can commit murder would not protect you from prosecution.

This is probably the hardest area to build knowledge, without going to law school. For me, it has helped to read news stories and good forums like HN. For example, I know that non-compete clauses in employment contracts are unenforceable in California, because so many people have said so.

There are some lawyers who post here--grellas for example--and AMAs from lawyers on Reddit are helpful too.
As the guy who implemented the new wallpaper design and took over maintenance of xfdesktop, you did just fine. Thanks for all your work on xfdesktop, it's been easy to extend it to do the new things.
There are several Cortex chips.

Cortex A (with rather high numbers) are relatively high performance chips, commonly found in one board computers, something like the BeagleBoard.

Cortex M are microcontrollers for embedded usage, slower clocks, but geared towards periphery like CAN, SPI, I2C etc.
You can find a lot of those in industrial use.

Cortex R are less common, I think they are geared towards automotive, for real-time stuff, although -M is also used for that.

Above all those sit those big ARM9/ARM11 chips.

Within the M family there are 0 for relatively tiny footprint, 1 is special (synthesized into your FPGA), 3 is the "normal" one, and 4 has DSP capabilities and a bit more performance.
It's true in the sense that at least some of the faculty members will be bringing in a lot of money into the department. In my department, I know that there's a few professors who either from large funding grants or contracts bring in the majority of research funds. The university (and consequently the faculty and department) gets a percentage of that funding for its own budget. The rest of the faculty in the department combined don't bring in nearly as much money as those few with large research grants.
