Yeah, it's tempting to take a small bit of credit for the existence of the new generation of project hosting services. Google Code showed that there was room for new players, so it did open the door, but you have to give credit to GitHub for the concept of social coding. I never understood it and it goes against my personal OSS DNA, so I would never have made that leap.

Another way to (very charitably) count Google Code's success is to look at the role it played in Google. One of the largest users of Google Code has always been Google itself. In 2005, Google had released like 8 project tarballs on SF, kind of tentatively. Having Google Code as a home field endorsement allowed that to grow into the thousands. Now, OSS releases seem pretty routine for Google and feel more integrated with the community than ever.

I wish Sourceforge would have come to that realization.

Anytime I search for something that tends to be older enterprisy-ish code and it shows up in Sourceforge (iText for example) I can never figure out what the hell is and isn't an ad. If I didn't know better I would suspect a malware vendor purchased it and turned it into a honeypot for lazy devs.
In order to understand quantum mechanics, the foundation of modern chemistry, properly, don't you need a strong appreciation of calculus?
Nope, try a different straw man.

It's pretty obvious that the specific incongruence I'm talking about is persecution of drugs.

Incongruence undermines respect for the rule of law in general (cf. "stop snitching"). It changes the calculus from "should I transgress against what society deems sacred" to "I'm already in trouble with the biggest gang around, might as well keep going".
I would argue while the headline is technically accurate, it's easily misunderstood.
Existing drug cartels have a great competitive advantage in violence, intimidation, and smuggling. None of those skills are particularly useful in competing with anonymous rivals on Silk Road.
Makerbot is the poster child of ripping off an open source project (reprap), then claiming the IP for itself, without giving back. Bre Pettis is a sellout.
Your inner fanboy is leaking. It wasn't Apple's lead.

Samsung did it at least twice before Apple switched to Lightning, another time after Lightning and will probably also move to Type C soon. Same for HTC, they switched port choices before Apple did as well, the HTC Dream has a different USB port than the HTC Evo and both came before the iPhone 5, and they're also likely to change to switch to this as well.

So basically Apple is the only choice that comes closest to behaving as you expressed a desire for and instead you shit on them out of complete ignorance. Good job.
Part of your pitch is making the case that you can do better than them, even when they have a money advantage.
The difference between these two is that the first one describes a tree in an extremely consistent form whereby parens represent children and spaces represent siblings. The latter represent a tree only by means of a special "parser", which converts this sequence of characters into the tree.

What's special about the former one is that it composes perfectly with any other tree structure using the same textural representation of trees, where the latter one is only useful in isolation - one cannot use this representation inside some other arbitrary character sequences which is to be converted to trees, because the means by which it is parsed into a tree does not compose well (unambiguously) with other means of parsing sequences of characters into trees.

Perhaps the cleverest thing about S-expressions is that they were invented before we even had a theory of parsing unambiguously followed by a proof that we cannot compose multiple of these unambiguous parsers in a way which produces another unambigous parser.
Helpful guidance, especially for public sector!

SMART on FHIR builds on top of FHIR for cross-EHR applications. In their words (http://smartplatforms.org/for-developers/):

"SMART on FHIR takes advantage of a new and powerful set of health data standards called Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, or FHIR. By using HL7’s FHIR for the clinical data layer, SMART offers a standards-based platform with broad reach, a rich set of detailed models, and the opportunity to create population-level as well as patient-level apps. SMART on FHIR also uses an updated set of authorization and authentication standards including OAuth2 and OpenID Connect."

This conflict is nothing new and is inherent to the model of organized private investors picking companies to invest in. The exact same problem emerges when an investor decides to invest in a portfolio competitor, or invests in a company that pivots to that role. It's why startups are antsy about who they allow to hold board seats.
Yup. This is why you need to have execution, instead of just an idea. You need to bring to the pitch something that indicates that you are better-suited to pursue this opportunity than the VC is.
Couldn't agree more. A middleware layer that exposes something like FIHR would be great but there systemic issues within this generation of EHRs that need to be sorted out too. The EHR must be more than the billing tool it is now.
Real Time Chat for Internet Marketers on Slack
No story about early Makerbot is complete without mentioning their commitment to open source (which this puff piece deftly avoids). The open source story has been conveniently dropped.

Here's an excerpt from an Bre Pettis interview in 2011:

Does funding change the commitment to open source hardware?
The funding doesn’t change our commitment to being open source. Why would we change a winning strategy? Being open is the future of manufacturing, and we’re just at the beginning of the age of sharing. In the future, people will remember businesses that refused to share with their customers and wonder how they could be so backwards.

I enjoyed your article.

Chinese is purportedly intuitive.

For example, 人 means "person", and 山 means mountain.

I don't see it, personally. I'm given to understand 成龍 means Jackie Chan.

However good notation doesn't have to be intuitive; we're talking in English and English is definitely not intuitive. That is to say that "person" doesn't look anything like a person.

Just as we learn to fit the concept of addition into our mind with the unintuitive + symbol, I find it useful to fit the concepts of K into my mind.

It is worth learning.

On your second point, you may not realise this yet, but you've invented a new programming language. There's no "syntax layer" and "language layer", because language is just the tool our mind uses to express problems and I believe that the lexemes used to express that language become a part of our brains when we try to solve problems in it. With that in mind, you will understand what I mean when I say: You have a language for expressing solutions; a notation, and I'll explain what I meant when I said I thought the notation was terrible:

First: C is also useful. Arthur writes K in C, so he might have a function like this:

K fun(K x,K y){K("+/+*\\:");return apply2(g,x,y);}

The K macro is basically:

#define K(s) static K g;if(!g)g=parse(s);

He doesn't write it this way. It would probably be more like:

K2(fun){K("+/+*\\:");R ap2(g,x,y);}

but that's because the compact notation is useful.

This isn't the only good example I've seen: Zeta-C was a C implementation in Common Lisp. You could "switch to lisp" in Zeta-C just by writing an @-sign before the lisp form, i.e.

int fun(int x, int y) {
return @(stuff:mmu |x| |y|);
}

ECL uses a pre-processor that allows you to write C code in it similarly. This is what mixing two languages looks like when done well: It looks like it belongs there, and it's useful for more than just being able to call Lisp functions from C: Those things could be Lisp macros(!) and even be mixed in C macros giving the programmer an incredible flexibility in expressing themselves!

What you've got is a notation with an edge. I can see where the C/Perl is, and where your "other notation" is (i,j,etc), and I don't like it. I feel the code switch snap loudly in my mind the same way I feel when I see a <?php

You could have made it look like it belonged there, and people could dip into your language easily. It would certainly be more work, but the notation would be better. Perhaps when you flesh out all the things you want to do you will consider revisiting this.
Or people hear in the news how bad the new version is (e.g. Vista) and avoid it.

Changing operating systems, especially in the PC world, is very disruptive to users. Especially non-savvy ones.

Luigi was not available in public, when Pinball starts. So not sure the pros and cons between Pinball and Luigi.

When we build pinball, we aim to build a scalable and flexible workflow manager to satisfy the the following requirements (I just name a few here).

1. easy system upgrade - when we fix bug or adding new features, there should be no interruption for current running workflow and jobs.
2. easy add/test workflow - end user can easily add new jobs and workflows into pinball system, without affecting other running jobs and workflows.
3. extensibility - a workflow manager should be easy to extended. As the company and business grows, there will be a lot new requirements and features needed. And also we love your contributions as well.
4. flexible workflow scheduling policy, easy failure handling.
5. We provide rich UI for you to easily manage your workflows
- auto retry failed job,
- you can retry failed job, can skip some job, can select a subset of jobs of a workflow to run (all from UI)
- you can easily access all the running history of your job, and also get the stderr, stdout logs of your jobs
- you can also explore the topology of your workflow, and also support easy search.
6. Pinball is very generic can support different kind platform, you can use different hadoop clusters,e.g., quoble cluster, emr cluster. You can write different kind of jobs, e.g., hadoop streaming, cascading, hive, pig, spark, python ...

There are a lot interesting things built in Pinball, and you probably want to have a try!
This isn't so unusual. Plenty of countries have registries and regulation around naming. Iceland recently denied a passport to a girl called Harriet: http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/06/25/icelandic-girl-deni.... Iceland cited cultural preservation initiatives.

I've also heard of some situations in US states wherein limitations are basically a by-product of character set choices, preventing the registration of diacritics.
I was not denying the possibility that the policy exists. Im 100% sure it exists @ Google. I wrote the article because I think they need to change their process and their policy. I do not expect them to. There are standard agnostic responses that you can give. For example, if there 5 predetermined responses that you could expect finishing the interview. Your feedback would fall into 1 of 5 of those choices. I was denying that just because you have a process to give feedback automatically opens you to a lawsuit. Lawyers could create the responses in advance that would prevent liability. I agree open ended feedback would open Google up to lawsuits. Right now, they have a binary feedback system. Yes/No. I'm saying adding there's a way to add 2 or 3 more options to their current feedback system without being liable. It is possible.
Dspace – (Visual) Disk Space Analyzer Written in Go
I think it is because of the side effect (can it be called an externalized cost?) to developers wanting to use existing open source code and not being able to find it. Google code is used by a lot of people.

Whereas an early start-up with 100 users selling a product with not much lock-in can pivot without too much side effect. The users know they are dealing with a start-up and may expect it.
One could (un)reasonably -- perhaps logically -- make an argument that all sex now requires filing gift taxes by someone somewhere. Obviously notionally who is giving and who is paying is going to be a thorny issue, but it has to be resolved.

Sex is monetizable in some jurisdictions (almost nowhere in the US, but neverless somewhere!) and as a result all sexual acts have monetary value; it doesn't really matter where they are performed. Given that they have value someone must be giving up income by not charging, and someone else is receiving a gift which the other party is so generously waiving.
Apart from his pun-a-thon books, most of his Discworld novels have some sort of moral underpinning.

They neglected to mention just how hard it is to "upgrade" from XP. If you want to install Windows 7 or 8 then it will only do a clean install. You have to figure out all the apps you have installed, install media, receipts/keys/vendor site logins, do the "upgrade", and then play system administrator for a long time. Approximately no one has backups, so all that needs to be sorted out too, as well as doing a restoration.

Then new UI has to be learned. Nothing is where it was. Various apps probably had to be upgraded too, and they'll have new UI to learn too. Then they have to figure out system administration - how do you do updates, make the funky printer work, deal with anti-virus. I didn't even mention figuring out that whole 32 versus 64 bits thing either.

The time, effort and money involved, especially for small businesses/organisations and individuals is daunting, not to mention a distraction from what their actual business is. By far the easiest thing for them is to do nothing.

Microsoft really screwed up by not making a good upgrade process. They know how to do it, and did it in the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPnehDhGa14
Big VC firms are populated with people on the bubble between permanent partner-track involvement with the fund or an operating role (often CEO) of a future portfolio company; they're called EIRs.

It's rather difficult to defend yourself against an organization that can use it's wealth and influence to leverage the government to make it a crime to fight against them, or to make it so expensive to compete that unless you're already rich you cannot, or to sick FBI or police or military on you.

A company would not be nearly so dangerous if it could not in turn influence the government to destroy you. It is much cheaper to give campaign donations to a US senator and then hand him laws to pass or ask for subsidies or for no-bid government contracts than is it to actually compete in an open market where you have to provide a better service for a better price than everyone else.

I find it amazing that people clamor for the government to protect them and yet day after day we see examples of the government crushing the helpless, confiscating their property, throwing flash bangs at their children, torturing them, or just straight up murdering them, and all without consequence, at most you get a pretty speech than it s back to business as usual handing out billions of tax payer wealth so companies can give some of drippings back to our 'elected' representatives.

And when you bring this up, what do people say? They tell you it's just bad luck, there really are some good people in government, try contacting your your congress critter, try getting into public office. The definition of insanity is to repeat the same action over and over again and expect a different result.

I think, when people give you something of value for free, it's not okay to respond with "But you should have given me more!" If that's not obvious to you, think of it in game theory terms: you're basically responding to cooperation with defection.

The proper response to something like this shutting down is "It's a pity it has to end, but thank you for running the service all those years."

>> I think the greater point is that the FAA is meant to regulate aircraft, not the monetization button on youtube.

They have made the distinction before. If you build your own aircraft it can be certified as experimental. You can do anything you like with it that you might do with a Cessna, except commercial operations. I believe you can take a friend for a ride and split the fuel costs, but you may not profit. Why the type of plane matters is not clear to me. Likewise, flying a drone is legal, taking video is legal, why should profit from it be illegal? I don't know.
Also, it's as if only "normal people" act normally, when in reality even sociopaths tend to be very normal -- they enjoy music, good food and like having fun. I'm sure Saddam had a very human profile himself, so it befuddles me why people insist on contrasting people's humanness with their other activities, however abnormal some aspects might be.

Begin at the beginning. Pratchett's concept of the discworld filled out as the books go on. Read the books in chronological order and you'll see the discworld grow. Things happen in later books that wouldn't make sense in earlier books, and in the later books, the world is much more 'nailed-down'. The first couple of books, as mentioned, are much more lighthearted whimsy, without a formal plot. But they're still a fun read, you get some discworld basics in them, and they're pretty short.
