Wallaby.js supports PhantomJs. It also supports node.js/io.js for node tests, as well as for front-end tests with something like jsdom.

Karma is not slow, but some of our tests may be. Wallaby just allows not to run them if we are not editing anything that affects them.

Cross browser issues are always a pain, I know what you mean. However, I have realised that I can write the bulk of my code without worrying too much about them.

When I'm writing the bulk of logic, especially with TDD, I found that it's more efficient to run tests as fast as possible in the fastest engine and care about running across all browsers much less frequently. Especially if you run tests as you type.

Later on, closer to the end of the iteration, when preparing to commit my changes, I surely run all of the tests in all browsers/smartphones/tablets that I support. Typically it just works, especially when your codebase is mature, you already know the majority of cross-browser issue sources and have something in place to avoid them. Even if it doesn't work, the issues are normally easy to solve. Overall, less context switching, more focussed work.

Anyway, it's just my experience (you can read more about the motivation behind wallaby.js in my blog post - http://dm.gl/2015/01/30/wallaby/) and we are planning to support more browser runners, or even just karma as a runner for wallaby, in future. Please feel free to vote (https://github.com/wallabyjs/public/issues/29) or create new feature requests.
I'm always in favor of the first amendment, but this is one context where outlawing the firearms does make a difference. There is a significant lower penetration of firearms in Europe period since almost every European country bans possession.

That does not mean that someone who really wants a machine gun cannot get one - but that it takes a lot more effort to get one. Effort that many deranged and unstable people are not willing or able to dedicate the effort to see to fruition. Even in the age of anonymous online exchanges gun import rates are puny compared to firearm availability in the US.

I think it is sound psychology to believe if you make it really hard to get something that an irrational actor will be less likely to pursue destructive behavior. The difference between firearms and drugs is that drug users are recurrent customers and can form an underground economy, the sociopath with a machine gun is often a one time shopper. Seems more economics than anything else as to why it is more infeasible to maintain a firearms black market at scale comparable to the drug market, regardless of ethics.

One common misconception is the idea that RSI is a single thing. It's really just a loose grouping of symptoms with a similar cause. So it's very common for a remedy to be very helpful for one person's RSI and do absolutely nothing for another person's instance of it.

For instance, switching layouts is more likely to bring relief for certain kinds of pain in the fingers, while changing keyboards is more likely to bring relief when the pain is in the wrists and forearms.

@falsestprophet -- we are right with you on being anti-vendor lock in and supporting open standards. We want to enable healthcare systems to use their data in whatever way they'd like and we think the best way to do that is to keep everything as open and as standards driven as possible.

RE: Hospital apps, couldn't agree more. Keep an eye out!
It's actually even better than that because there's also a national program that pays up to 35% of R&D salaries: http://www.cameronhuff.com/blog/ontario-tax-credits-for-soft.... There are hundreds of smaller special programs that can pay even more (and they often stack).
Thanks for that; looks promising (even if these things take time /-). Does anyone know how viable it would be to create a shim for the new libtls-api for gnutls/nss? A shim for openssl isn't really all that interesting; hopefully that thing will die a horrible, slow death... and with some luck libressl can be the thing to nudge a better api into wider use.
That's not the only reason it's that expensive. Pharma costs are artificially created and amortized globally.

>If you aren't ethically opposed to abortion, the risk of Down's can be the "well, damn, guess we'll try again in a few months" sort of risk.

You say that as if there is no emotional, psychological, and physical costs to an abortion. The costs is often to both partners and marriage/relationship.
When I first switched to OS X, Finder seemed like it lacked some basic features. But like much of OS X, once you learn the keyboard shortcuts, the real power shines through. There's a helpful free app for discovering them [1]. After holding the Command key for a few seconds, an overlay will appear with all the shortcuts for your current app.

I use BetterSnapTool [2] for window management. You can drag a window to some edge for quick resize/snap options, similar to Windows.

Personally, I use Vim-inspired bindings to move windows around quickly.

E.g. Command-Shift-J snaps a window to the left half; Command-Shift-K to the right. And Command-Shift-M to fully maximize a window. To snap windows to each of the four corners, I use the same pattern followed by 1,2 or 3,4. There’s lots of useful shortcuts you can configure, like sending windows back and forth between two monitors. Or just moving the mouse to reposition a window--or resize it--by holding down some key. I believe you can also customize the behavior when double-clicking the title bar.

As a user of i3/Xmonad on linux, this setup works well for me on OS X; I rarely use the track-pad to move windows around. And the iTerm hot-key shortcut toggles a popup terminal on the top right corner of my screen (or wherever you like).

"Because LEDs are essentially microchips, they can be programmed."

This is incorrect. The die process size (and chemistry) used for making LEDs would make absolutely terrible microchips. All programmable signs have separate control chips.

What would be the advantage of Artoo vs something like ROS?

ROS has some pretty significant infrastructure laid down, and has bindings for C and python. It probably wouldn't even be too hard to create a Ruby binding if Ruby is your thing.
Congratulations!

My wife and I decided there was never an ideal time, possibly never a good time, to have kids, so we jumped in (at 30 for her and 40 for me) to have 2 in 2 years. I have superiors with kids who have been very understanding on the days when I've been a zombie from no sleep, when I have to take sick days because my wife is overwhelmed, etc. etc.

It's hard for both of us but I'm really glad we did it now, not when we were older and less flexible/energetic/fun. She's starting to think about career again, and will take her time figuring out what she wants to do in a couple of years when we're OK with the youngest, an infant now, going into day care.

Good luck!

What's the point of this comment, all you're doing is trivializing how people use government websites/programs. Also there is absolutely no way your effective tax rate is near 40% unless you're in the 99th+ percentile of earners, a little melodramatic, no?

The article fails to mention that you can get a vial of insulin (regular or NPH) without a prescription at Walmart for $25. Not generic, but inexpensive. The rapid acting and the once daily insulins are indeed very expensive, but $25 will get you the very best the early nineties had to offer, just like most drugs that were expensive name-brand drugs back then.

The web client can confirm that the code is running in what something with a TPM key claimed as being a secure environment (remote attestation). The whole point of the TPM is that its private key is stored in tamper-resistant hardware and never exposed to the outside. Of course no hardware is perfectly tamperproof, and I imagine a sufficiently smart or patient attacker could compromise one, but we're talking liquid nitrogen and electron microscopes territory here.
> In most cases, you're further advanced in your career when older, giving you more income, thereby more purchasing power.

In practice, when people get 'further advanced' in a career over the years, their spending typically drifts up to match any increases in income (or to match the spending of their peers, which typically amounts to the same thing) so they don't really end up with more money. You can always plan on being an exception, to be sure, but I think it's a good idea to be very wary of planning on being an exception.
You're missing the self-driving feature. Once there are self-driving cars there will be cheap self-driving cabs. That's what you take to grandma's house. And of course the cab can run on gasoline. Or run on electricity and when it runs out of power it stops somewhere you can get some food and a freshly charged cab.
Will one hand do?
Yeah, there are some COTS parts available for various autonomous driving functionality. My Ford fusion does pretty much all of the above, and I do not think Ford implemented everything themselves, and the sensors look very similar to various other implementations from different auto manufacturers.
The intensity of pain and grief one can feel when they or their spouse have fertility issues is tough to convey. Most people have no idea what a hell this fertility thing can be. It's such a lonely condition, no one wants to talk about it, and no one wants to hear about it.

And when someone makes a juvenile joke about eggs, wombs, etc. around me and my wife or if we get some dumbass comment like "when are you going to have another kid?", I can tell you that that person is PERMANENTLY tainted with the #asshole hashtag and we're probably going to have a tearfilled conversation that night. If you fancy yourself a comedian and you want to make some jokes about procreation, don't be shocked when friends fall away from you.

I don't know if egg freezing should be recommended, whether it might lead to birth defects or developmental issues, etc. But, if it were available to me and my wife early in our marriage and we knew we might have troubles, I think we might have sprung for it.

Here's my PSA: age 35 is when egg quality and quantity starts to decline precipitously for most women. If you're interested in doing this egg freezing or embryo freezing thing, plan to get it done well before age 35 (like age 30, just to be safe.)
You can use a linear type system to enforce that.

Quitting your job is a qualifying event. You definitely qualify. I was looking at Obamacare because I want to start a startup. I considered signing up by February and just have two insurances for a while rather than go without health insurance (since I graduate from my PhD program mid year, and would then lose my health insurance in August). But I researched this just in case, and turns out that's wildly unnecessary, and the system is set up for things like this.

Voila, if you had insurance through a job, school, whatever, and lose it at any time due to a job change (whether quitting, or firing, or whatever), that's a qualifying event that allows you to sign up for new insurance within XYZ days of the event.

The IEEE and/or SI are in charge of language? The same IEEE that sends car insurance offers to its members, just so we're clear. JEDEC is also a standards group, and they disagree. What now, a Wikipedia editing war to determine the victor?

Standards bodies aren't anything magical, and I don't get the slavish following they seem to get. So an RFC says something, or another group mandates something. BFD. Unless you're expecting interop to work, use standards as you see fit. They aren't an ends unto themselves.

In this case "GB", when referring to RAM is unambiguous. Only disingenuous cloud providers or petty editors would use a base 10 interpretation.

I've found this is a common thing to say with AWS employees. One of them insisted that Amazon's ridiculous ephemeral storage policy (immediate, permanent, and irrevocable deletion on any halt or stop event, making accidental data loss a real possibility) had to be that way because it would just take too much hardware to allow a cooldown period before the drives were wiped. There's no way I believe that. I think Amazon is just used to intimidating customers with exactly that line of reasoning: "No offense, but you have no idea how hard the cloud is", and people buy it because "the cloud" is the new hotness.

Hi @lyyons, we are certainly not the first ones to spot that integration is a pain point for hospitals and we have tons of respect for anyone trying to help solve this problem. Its a big issue and there is a lot of work to be done. While we do share common features with Moxe Health and others, what sets us apart is our origins from an academic medical center, our commitment to supporting open standards and our mission to enable hospitals to fully own and innovate with their health data.

I didn't say just go buy a Tesla. I said that Tesla is the best way to buy a car. I didn't say it was an option for everybody, and "the best way" doesn't require it to be.

Very valid concern. That is the bottleneck, and that was the first thing we've checked.

> Isn't a lot of normal db server side operation now a fetch-from-db + do-calculation-on-client type operation?

Not if you want to find something. Calculation-on-client is probably html rendering etc.

> And a compromise client can still pull data by running query against the server right?

Yes, but it's ok if you have millions of users, each with his own private data. It would probably cost too much to break into each client's computer (imagine a million bitcoin wallers with 0.1 bitcoin each).

Currently available databases, when used with encryption, store the key in memory. So, memory dump or mitm attack could help an attacker to collect the key.
Suprisingly, no issues w/ Polymer in production. The Google guys didn't lie to us when they said "sure, you should use it in production."

Honestly we get asked who our designer is all the time, and I say "it was Google. A whole team of world-class designers at Google."

A sink does not have to be an "ultimate sink", you can think of it as a temporary storage subsystem. Individual trees take carbon from the atmosphere, put it into their body mass, and release it years/decades later on their eventual death.

As others have pointed out, a "steady state" forest would be carbon neutral. In any given year all the surviving trees add as much body mass as that of the fewer dying trees. However, steady state is usually not how things work out in practice. AFAIK, most years forest are carbon negative - slowly building up wood mass - and then there are specific events that make for big releases of carbon (big fires, blight that affects multiple trees, etc). Not sure if you can say that evens out to neutral in longer time frames.

The problem in Brazil seems to be that illegal loggers are much more efficient than isolated release events for cutting down trees, so the normal tendency to sequester carbon is being overwhelmed. The "sink" in those terms gets turned into a "source". Not that new carbon atoms are getting created, but it's more like the buffer has now a tendency to grow smaller instead of bigger over time.

btw. I don't understand why the down votes, so +1.
Healthy food as a service. Getting food delivery is easy, but if you work out or want to lose weight you need to stick to a nutrition plan, and most of the stuff you can order is crap. Preparing meals is a pain. I'd pay to have 3-5 snall meals per day with predefined nutritional information prepared for me, ready to either eat at home or take with me. It can be the same meals every day, I don't care. I'm fine with giving the person/company keys to my home so they can put stuff into my fridge/freezer. Something like $200/week sounds like a reasonable amount to pay for that. Addon would be maid service.
It won't let me edit, but I realized my comment is not clearly worded. You, as a listener, would have to listen to more than fifty thousand streams in one month to "pay" Google an amount of ad revenue equivalent to the Google Music monthly subscription rate. So unless you listen to more than 1500 YouTube tracks per day, you're better off paying (if your goal is to support the artist).

There's just not enough money in ads. This is why things like Patreon exist.
> Did I say otherwise?

Yes you did, you said "It's let me down". I just assumed t was something more serious like major design flaw, or periodic segfaults in the runtime, and not "bugs go in the mailing list" vs "no Github issues".

> > What do you want Ericsson to bake a cake for you?

And they will. Throw in a couple of millions their way in there and they'll take a few engineers off from building their product and you might get a delicious cake.

> > There is a bug mailing list (http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-bugs/),

> Presumably you bring this up because I pointed out there is not a public bug tracker. A mailing list is not a substitue for a bug tracker.

It is not but they are the ones who pay their developers to work on this and they have a bug mailing list. You can still issue pull requests if you want. There are plenty here:

https://github.com/erlang/otp/pulls

File the bug, submit a patch and discuss there. Some pull requests have 20+ comments.

> there are regular bug fixes, pull requests, frequent releases. New features added (like maps).

Yes, and? And it is not exactly a "throw over the wall. It is like getting a free car from someone but complaining that the seats are the wrong color.And the car has now failed you.

> Where do I go to see the status of, I don't know, native processes?

Ask on the mailing list. Comment on the pull request or go on #erlang on IRC.

> Lastly, I'd ask you to consider what your response has done to improve and grow the Erlang community.

But what has your response done to hurt it? Here someone shared a cool project, and someone else commented how cool it is. And you are complaining that it is a "throw over the all" and it is a failure because they didn't set up Github issues properly. If you are going to spread fud then, well, be prepared to get nasty comments back.

Let me reiterate my point about eating and exercising in moderation.

I said when you are not deprived of calories, meaning that if you still maintain adequate food intake throughout the day, there is no deleterious effect from the sweetener.

Yes, if you drink nothing but diet soda all day and then eat a giant meal right before bed, that is probably not a healthy dietary cycle. But again, you can hardly blame that on the sweetener itself.

In reality, I'm not sure this happens all that often. What's more common is reports of "sugar cravings" that increase with consumption of artificial sweeteners. It seems to vary from person to person, but obviously if that happens to you then you would be a fool to continue consuming them.
