Do people really believe in more secure languages? Are they the same people that think switches make networks secure? Switches don't and neither does a given language. I recall a CTO that would not allow C++ development because he thought the language was insecure. Java was the only language allowed. Even college courses are still teaching that security is one of the benefits of the virtual machine. We only have to look at all the patches for java to see that it hasn't been secure. Then we look at every other software that has been patched to see that nothing is secure.

Please stop perpetuating the myth that security is produced by a programming language. People make security happen just like they make it not happen. Obligatory Schneier: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/03/the_security_...
Azul's practices in Java/JVM are really great but finally down to its commercial focuses.

Java has many improvements in recent years. Most of high-performance Java sides I have summarized in one of my unofficially published project:

http://land-z.org

The problem is that the language evolution of Java itself is still in the style of one company and the hacking to deep Java is expertise-based.

> Work is already underway for atomic value types, classdynamic, a new FFI layer, and a next-gen, fully programmable JIT (Graal).

most are already in other languages. Do not mention Java 9, can you tell me which of them will come to Java 10? Is the year 2018 OK? That's, people said "why Java was slow".
Seems like you already posted this 6 months ago [1] without getting any upvotes or comments. Wondering if it's just the new title or a new landing page. Any idea?

(.:) f g = (f .) . g

This can interestingly be generalized(in a way) to get

(.::) :: (d -> e) -> (a -> b -> c -> d) -> a -> b -> c -> d
(.::) f g = ((f .) .) . g

and so on.

Since fmap = (.), substitution would get your point free form.
4 Ways a Cohesive Content Strategy Boosts Your Bottom Line
This is true, but possibly irrelevant to the problem. If you ask people in large companies about the need to innovate and the risks of competition, I'm sure you'll get most people to agree verbally.

But the practical matter is that any company (and most of the individuals within those companies) will do better in the short term if they invest in more efficient execution of the existing model.

This is compounded by modern American business culture, which is very focused on short-term numbers and local efficiency. And those are probably economically rational behaviors given that CEO tenure is dropping while compensation has gotten more tied to stock market performance. Trading short-term profits for long-term investment only makes financial sense if you'll be around to reap the rewards.

>In my current company, the sysops still limit what they support - for example, they're not willing to support OS X Yosemite users yet, and recommend users stay on Mavericks. But, if you want to upgrade to Yosemite, you can, just don't ask the sysops for help fixing it. And if your broken Yosemite install is impeding your work, well, we trust that you'll resolve it one way or another.

Sorry, but as someone who works in IT security, this sounds like an absolute nightmare. Even if you have a small company comprised only of intelligent developers, those developers do not necessarily understand the latest malware threats or what sorts of software can introduce risks. Wide-open FTP servers and Tomcat servers with default passwords are a major issue. I would actually say developers probably introduce more threats into our environment than any other demographic.

Whitelisting software installs from specific domains (google.com, mozilla.org) is okay, but a carte blanche policy is usually a very bad idea.
Why default to male? Because multiple generation of us got our writing marked wrong if we used a plural pronoun for a singlaur and "he" was the generic. We used he for unknowns and she for the thing we loved (e.g. ships). I would love for an agreed upon generic, and they is just a bad choice.

> You're going to spend all that work using "the author" everywhere and still manage to get my gender wrong ("his")?

As you notice, the poster to whom you are replying clearly goes to a lot of effort to say "the author" repeatedly, rather than 'he' or 'she'. I think that it's fair to assume that one slip-up after such work is a result of innocent inattention rather than a perpetuation of gender biases.
> Two drugs could be very safe on their own, but in combination could cause serious adverse events

That is true. My assumption was that only single compounds or previously tested combinations are suggested.

> Unless you are running a controlled clinical trial, I'm not sure anyone would trust the data.

I agree. I just meant it would be relatively easy to collect enough preliminary data to have a reasonable idea of how a proper clinical trial would go. It's not like going from an animal model to human trials or from a tiny cohort of late-stage patients to a larger more heterogenous group.
This article is foolishly binary. People are either world-class or are poor performers.

The problem is that that's how business executives think. Of course, they all think of themselves as world-class, visionary geniuses, and they think of their enemies as poor performers. There's a certain black-or-white mentality in that set of people that you don't see among people like us.

This is also why CEO pay keeps skyrocketing despite depressingly low (and worsening) quality of people who get into the CEO job. Due to this fallacious belief that all CEOs are world-class individuals, they just have to get 30% raises every year, plus stock options and unlimited personal use of the corporate jet.

In other words, I agree fully. See, I'm a programmer and I'm a fucking good programmer and I wouldn't describe myself as world-class. Even if you bump for the creativity and writing skill and rabble-rousing ability... nope, I still wouldn't call myself "world-class", just "very fucking good at what I do". But I'm not an executive narcissist who believes that the world owes me a better pot to piss in, and even if I were, I'm not sure that I have the negotiation skill that I'd need to get it.

I'm no expert in indirect dark matter detection, but I have to wonder how many dwarfs don't have any such excess that should have one if this measurement represents dark matter.

Also:

- I wish there was an error estimate for the background model

- The slight deficit of events below 1 GeV in figure 1 makes me wonder if there's somehow a systematic shift due to energy bias or some binning effect. It's difficult to reason about bins when both axes depend on energy. It also doesn't seem like they included energy resolution in the errors.
> Would you have rather the commenter have said 'their'?

As the poster demonstrated (by using "the author" in almost all places), it is often possible to go without pronouns entirely, at the expense of some repetitiveness or awkwardness. In this case, all that would have been required would have been to change

> The author spends a lot of effort trying to make his functions point-free.

to

> The author spends a lot of effort trying to make functions point free.

or, if the possessive is really important, the awkward

> The author spends a lot of effort trying to make the author's [or just "his or her"] functions point free.

However, as I have said elsethread, I think that this was almost certainly inattentiveness rather than any attempt to perpetuate gender biases.
I don't think security is produced by picking one language or another, but I do believe that it's harder to write secure code in a language like C than a language like Java or Rust. There are simply way, way more ways to shoot yourself in the foot.

But is there anywhere else where I could feasibly save ~$60k each year? I honestly don't know since I only just moved to the US but at the moment my plan is to work here for a few years, save a nice pile of money and then move somewhere affordable and less urban to raise a family.

I'm hoping to be able to save ~$240k and buy a modest house on the outskirts of Portland or Tacoma and have a little left over.

I'm just wondering if there's anywhere else where I could save money like this?

I am not sure if you are kidding, but the serious answer is that politicians who can stay in power without limits (witness Putin now) tend to rearrange the political process of their country with sole purpose of never leaving their post. Then they lose all accountability and do as they please without worry of being voted out.

Companies, on the other hand, exist in the ecosystem of the market (so a single CEO can not rearrange the playing field). If the company is doing poorly, its shares will drop and forces will gather to remove the CEO (note how Balmer or recent CSFB CEO were removed).
Such a distracting sound effect for me. Pulls me right out of the movie and ruins the immersion every time I hear it. I wish they would stop with this "inside joke" that everyone knows about. Certainly I am not the only one annoyed by this sound.

There's a couple others that grate on me too, but I don't know their names. There's this other crazy sounding scream, a really long extended one. Then there's this "crowd gasping" sound effect I've heard all my life (you can hear it in the airport scene in Unbreakable for example). Then there is this particular cooing, laughing baby sound effect that drives me nuts. Whoever that baby was it must be in it's 60s by now.

Debugging React has been pretty painless. Errors show up in the console, step through with Devtools if things get weird... One of the great things about React is It's Just Javascript (technically CoffeeScript in my case).

One thing that has made things a bit easier is React Developer Tools: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-to...

It gives you a Devtools tab that looks like the DOM Inspector, but it's the React component tree. I've mostly found it helpful when dealing with abstract components (components that render other top-level components rather than DOM components).

I can't see your code so unfortunately I can't give you more specific advice, but in general, I've found that if you feel like you have too much code, you're probably overcomplicating things. This holds true in React, and (in my experience) programming in general. Then again, if it's just a big form, that could be the problem. Big forms aren't usually a great UX anyways, so maybe consider breaking that up into more discrete pieces - but I'm basically talking out of my ass at this point since I don't know your situation.

Hope this helps though! Also happy to answer any questions over email (in my profile). I'm far from a React expert but always glad to lend a hand.

> Perhaps I am just lucky but I out of principle never buy any insurance if it is not required by law. If something breaks I either try to fix it myself or buy a new one.

Insurance companies know the odds better than us, they set the premiums, and they still manage to make a profit every year (billions of dollars in lots of cases)

It glaringly obvious that "on average" the average person should not get insurance when not required, because otherwise you're just paying for the profit of said insurance company.

Yes, if you purchase the item using the card. It's an extended warranty. Quote from benefits section of the gold card:

Extended Warranty can extend the terms of the original manufacturer's warranty on warranties of five years or less. We match the length of the original warranty if the original manufacturer’s warranty is less than one year, and we provide one additional year if the original manufacturer’s warranty is between one year and five years. Shipping and handling costs for the purchase will not be refunded. Certain purchases are not covered, e.g. items with physical damage, damage as a result of natural disaster, software, motorized devices and vehicles and their parts. Other important exclusions apply. You will only be covered up to the amount charged on your eligible Card; coverage is limited up to a maximum of USD $10,000 per occurrence; not to exceed USD $50,000 per Card Member account per calendar year. You may be required to send the purchased item to us, in which case we will reimburse you for shipping cost. This product is in excess of other warranty plans that you have in place for the eligible item.

I think there is a good idea in this, but as presented I wouldn't use it.

I am a parent. There are lots of toys around the house. Some are mainstream so I will probably find them on your site, but some are boutique. Some I don't have the box for so I can't list them if I don't remember the name.

So it is quite a hassle to list them all, and I can't be bothered.

Because most danger to children isn't toys IMHO but things like drowning, choking on small objects (not necessarily from a toy, could be a coin), falling, curtain cords and roads. I would rather concentrate on minimizing those risks.

A way you could present this so at least I would use it is just an email address. No need to list your toys, and get weekly or monthly product recall updates for mainstream toys.

It could have the recalls for that month, plus anything super-dangerous in the last 6 months as a reminder. Then there is no need to enter toys and therefore it becomes a no brainer to enter your email address and get the alerts.

In addition there could be information or links to articles about other generic dangers such as those small button batteries that can cause serious harm or death to a child. Or similarly curtain cords. Road safety etc. etc.

Personally, I am trying to work as hard as I can so I can start a company. Even if I had $5 million I would probably keep pushing myself to ensure I had what I felt I needed to achieve my goals.

Money lets you purchase other peoples time, it's boosts your productivity, and if you can hire someone to build you something you can do ever greater things.

Although this is just my motivation, I am sure most of the highly productive or motivated people feel the same way. They want to do something great, and they know they have to work to get there.

Of course those signals aren't sent to solar installations; we value their output over that of coal plants, and their output is clean regardless of when its produced. We do send those signals to wind farms, which must curtail their output when insufficient demand exists.

In time, as more renewables come online, stationary utility storage (battery cargo containers), and fossil fuels are deprecated, the problem solves itself.

This was a serious question, I'm legitimately curious. We can't pretend that isn't part of the product offering, and it's a unique aspect of the ChromeOS experience. I can only assume this could partially subsidize the hardware.

In the same line of thinking, I wonder how much a Macbook purchase can be offset by the expected revenue from iTunes and other integrated services. Or the pre-bundled spyware that comes with so many other laptops.
Thanks very much for the feedback.

The investors are fully aware of our struggles. Our board meetings no longer involve going over new product or marketing points. We simply discuss sales.

However, I haven't spoken to them about quitting. We've spoken at length about pivots and even about returning what's left of the money.

My opinion is that we should return the money since none of our pivots make any sense, and frankly, I don't know if I have the gas to pivot, but no one agrees with me. Everyone has an idea of where we should pivot.

The side project is 95% organic growth. I wrote a bot that sent some automatic invitations at first, but I've run out of leads. The only work I'm doing here is answering emails at the end of the day with suggestions/questions from the growing user base. Plus the occasional bug.
