Shouldn't the title be, "Another success story for Haxe"? I thought the massive success of Lucas Pope's "Papers, Please" is validation enough of the framework: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papers,_Please

(at least it was for me...I was amazed at how fast Pope built and ported a cross-platform game considering he's a one-man shop...though to be fair, he was also able to learn Flash and build games for Ludum Dare competitions...so he's probably an outlier :) )

Chrome may be more widely used, but you are still ignoring at least a fifth of the market.
Yes; apparently I had. Thanks.
> You cannot abstract away complexity.

Oh sure you can. It just costs something. The most common tradeoff is that you abstract away complexity in favor of performance.
I'd personally pick firefox, actually. Though, I have tried with them and they just don't care. More, I can't blame them. IE does the job well enough.

Also, I admit I do prefer a non-monoculture in the browser landscape.

I am a really opinionated/principled developer who cares deeply about my work.

I quit my last job because I could tell my boss had perverse incentives that he wouldn't admit to. I knew the codebase needed a refactor desperately and he insisted I work on something else (because he was leaving and didn't want to rock the boat). I can't work under those conditions. Turns out I was right... After I left, he announced he was leaving... right after his RSU's vested.
I'd agree with that. I actually think it was a bad move on their part. By having a $10k watch it draws media headlines away from their consumer product. I've seen many more headlines like "Apple's New $10,000 Watch" rather than "Apple's New Line of Smart Watches". For those that don't follow the technology news closely they may miss the launch of the regular product.
> Young adults who abused cannabis as teens performed about 18 percent worse on long-term memory tests than young adults who never abused cannabis.

Wonderful. Another study with no basis for distinguishing causality from correlation.

I bet you can randomly select a subgroup of 18-percent poorer performers and find that they have all sorts of things in common, from diet to exercise to presence or absence of parents - as well as bizarre factors like who was born on a Tuesday.

There are probably dozens of markers that both correlate with these kinds of results and also plausibly suggest an explanation.

> “It is possible that the abnormal brain structures reveal a pre-existing vulnerability to marijuana abuse,” Smith said. “But evidence that the longer the participants were abusing marijuana, the greater the differences in hippocampus shape suggests marijuana may be the cause.”

What?! No it doesn't. It suggests quite the opposite: that people with greater abnormality tend to use marijuana longer.

I suspect that, now that medical cannabis is widely available and somewhat widely used in the treatment of childhood maladies, we may begin to see, in the next decade or so, results based on much sounder science simply because of the availability of higher quality sample groups.

Venkatesh Rao has an article series that compares startup entrepreneurs with historical economic shifts.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/venkateshrao/2012/09/03/entrepre...

"Entrepreneurs are the new labor. Or to put it in a more useful way, the balance of power between investors and entrepreneurs that marks the early, frontier days of a major technology wave (Moore’s Law and the Internet in this case) has fallen apart. "

http://www.forbes.com/sites/venkateshrao/2012/09/03/entrepre...

"a labor class emerges when privileged knowledge is commoditized and institutionalized in ways that make it basically useless as negotiation leverage with the investor class, leaving supply aggregation as the only path left for the extracted and intellectually bankrupted class. The extracted knowledge is placed under the stewardship of a new mercenary class that eventually turns into a domesticated new middle class (this pattern is not just restricted to the 19th century; variants have played out at least a few times before in world history)."

http://www.forbes.com/sites/venkateshrao/2012/09/04/entrepre...

"The new financial order will comprise members representing the largest new economy companies, as well as members of the investor class who survive the ongoing collapse of credibility of their home institutions. Political participation in the new order will come not from nation-states or provincial governments, but city/urban political systems. "
Oh, it would grow. It's just not optimum use of the land.

Meanwhile, nothing is worth growing in the midwest unless it can handle real thunderstorms and real winter. A lot of vegetables rely on a mild climate. Our CSA farm grows a wide variety of vegetables, but they regularly lose parts of their crop to hail, late freezes, and other situations that just don't happen in California.
Chemist here: I think that's overly editorial. If there were an air-burning engine made of aluminum, which consumed itself for motive force, we might describe that as self-fueled. In general the reducing agent is considered fuel and the oxidizer is assumed; a motor that oxidizes aluminum using hydroxide is not that different from one that oxidizes it using oxygen.

Edit: The flake of aluminum fuel physically gloms onto the motor, and aluminum will normally form an oxide that would prevent hydroxide (certainly brine) from reducing it. It's not a 'mere' fuel that's physically driving the droplet, there's a single reaction happening. My hunch is that's where the tin comes in.

I saw Wikipedia grow from a playful listing of facts and "did you know?"'s to what it is today. I came to rely on the Wikipedia facts and trust was very high.

It took joining and partaking in the creation of a "politically contentious" article when I realized just how organized, blatant and scary these propaganda efforts are. You have it easier when you are a crackpot, than when you play by the rules and source all facts, because then you force them to earn their pay using more drastic measures. Yet, I can recommend this revelation to everyone.

See also another scuffle which relates to these current wiki-astroturfing campaigns: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology_editing_o...

Also remember that Wikipedia is in a lot of countries. Some of those countries have governments and companies which are more blatant or forceful dealing with unpleasant information in the open than say, an American company. It is also easier for those editors to form cliques.
This is actually a very interesting idea! We could also seed other planets with our water bears.
Some of the edits are obviously bad, like attempting to delete an article on notability grounds. But many of the others look like they're correcting or tempering bias from the "other side". I don't see those as problematic. In fact, that's exactly what Wikipedia needs to maintain NPOV, a balance from each "side".

In my last job, we had three main hubs and each hub had offshoots. So it was possible that every person on a project was working in a different location or they could all be in the same office. We did a lot of military contracting, and as a result, some work could only be done on-base; otherwise, we were allowed to choose where we worked.

In otherwords, it was a wonderful mix of everyone in the same office, remote teams, and working from home. Based on this, I learned I really prefer having semi-regular meetings in person (things like kick-offs and 6-month project retreat weeks), regular tele-cons (weekly all-project-hands), and the rest of the time I was able to work on my own from where ever felt the most productive that morning. On those days non-synchronous email communication worked splendidly. There were co-workers who really preferred only ever working in the same location as the rest of their team, so we structured teams that met that preference. There were other co-workers that were perfectly happy with completely remote work (in fact, I never met, face-to-face, three of my regular co-workers).

By and large, it really did boil down to preferences, although I did note that my co-workers that preferred in-person projects were the ones most likely to interrupt me - and be completely oblivious to the fact that they were interrupting me! My remote coworkers were much less likely to interrupt me, check to see if it was a good time when they did, and apologize for the interruption.

He regularly writes 2500 words/day. Every day. This isn't much, but becomes huge if done regularly.

Actually 2,500 words per day, every day, strikes me as a lot of writing. I did NaNoWriMo (http://nanowrimo.org) a couple of years ago, and to hit the "50,000 words in 30 days" target for that you have to turn out around 1,700 words each day. I'm a fast writer compared to a lot of folks -- just look at the length of some of my herniated HN comments to see what I mean -- and even I found that target to be a pretty big lift. It's do-able, I got in my 50,000 words, but by the end of the month I was exhausted. I can't imagine doing it every day for the rest of time -- and that's only 68 percent of the words Sanderson says he's turning out.

Steve, have you considered the hybrid option, where you would have hubs, but still let some people to be remote?

May be this does not have to be an either or proposition. For some people remote works and others are energized by being together with people. It varies depending on their role as well (as you've stated).
Seems that StatusPage.io is not either using anything worth to mention for "whiteboard simulator". So here is my shameless plug of the project that I work with.

Our solution for "whiteboard simulator" part is http://sketchboard.io that lets team sketch structural diagrams together in real-time.

It is not the same thing as working on a same room locally and use whiteboard since locally you can communicate a lot with your body language as well. But good remote team tools can give you something back.

edit: direct link to the app is https://sketchboard.me.
unity/unreal engine isn't really a fair comparison, you're either requiring a web view plugin (unity), or you're going with emscripten (unity/unreal). I couldn't find evidence of solid support for Xamarin there either.

I am not going to speculate on this because Windows developers are invisible to me, but I wlll say 90% market share probably does not map too well to the actual humans. Just think of the number of blue screens of death you see on public displays in all walks of life. Millions upon millions of Windows units are being sold not just for corporate workstations but for all manner of utility systems that don't even represent a single human. I can't really think of a better proxy though, given the weird parallel worlds that Windows and Open Source developers inhabit.

I did not, I went with the generic LLC in Nevada but looked into it. It is pretty straight forward, you contact one of the registered agents (they advertise and you can find them at your search engine of choice "Nevada LLC") and you pay money and poof, you get an LLC. Your agent is a lawyer acting on your behalf. Besides state law there is attorney-client privilege to aid in keeping you secret.

Not surprisingly, when you talk to these folks they will assume you are either very wealthy or doing something which will make your future LLC "disliked" by a large number of people. Because I was neither of these things, the recommendation was just file the paperwork myself, save some money.
> Come on, Amazon, you can do a better job!

Rate of fire and lethality have limited correlation, but perhaps more interesting for this discussion, legality and lethality have even less. I posted the article on the Slide Fire stock because I was not aware of it, because it's legal, and because it actually does turn an AR-15 into what is functionally a fully automatic rifle. But add a simple spring into it and suddenly it's illegal: http://www.slidefire.com/downloads/BATFE.pdf

The lethality is the same (and yes, arguably no different than an unmodified AR-15, although you should watch the videos if you haven't) but the functionally fully-automatic version with the spring is illegal, and the one without is currently legal (except for California). I find this an interesting point of discussion.

I would sooner expect a bank to accidentally share their private key on social media. Banks aren't bad at security by accident. They don't have good, solid security people working for them being held back by management (as some industries do). Banks take the long view on most things and are ill-prepared for dealing with something like security, where the situation changes moment by moment. They are also extremely loathe (more than most industries I would say) to spend a penny on anything which they can not predict a tangible return on investment.

Hmm.. with the large number of security firms popping up every day, has anyone actually done some studies and statistical analysis so that it can be said "If you save $200,000 this year by not hiring a competent security professional, there is a 30% chance your bank will lose more than $10 million in either direct intrusion or public scandal"? That is the sort of thing a banker needs to hear before he can determine whether it is actually WORTH being safe. And even then... hiring competent security people is really hard. How is a normal HR person supposed to be able to judge whether an applicant is competent?

> Very typical example is the corn lobby group, whose result on the market is to cause junk food to be much cheaper than nutritious food

Junk food is cheap because it is engineered to be cheap (particularly, to have a long shelf-life to avoid losses which drive up the price of what actually does get sold to the customer to subsidize the costs of what doesn't do to losses.) The effect of the corn lobby and the resulting subsidization isn't to make junk food cheaper than nutritious food so much as to encourage the use of corn products in junk food by making corn products cheap compared to other alternatives to corn products for making junk food.

I'm not sure how many people receiving these tech training scholarships will go into startups. A great many will go into other, established tech companies.
Man, I thought that calling on people at random was just sort of standard practice. At the college level it forces people to be ready or at least think even if they aren't. Glad someone is actually going in an measuring these things. The political problem is still there, but having the words to actually talk about technique is vital for improving it.
