They perhaps they should consider building more housing. With the bonkers prices there, I bet even with a portion dedicated to low income housing, stuff would still get built, as long as the rules were clear.

Having played with it for about an hour, I think Xonsh might actually be that alternative.
Well known != well solved. It's the difference between "we need to build a web application to do X" and "we're going to redefine how people do X".

Secondly have you seen Salesforce? The COTS solution isn't zero configuration in many cases. Plus many businesses decide their unique selling point can be having bespoke software that has a feature that the COTS version can't do, or do as well.

I've just spent 3 years using SCRUM to build a CRM system after my employer decided not to go with Salesforce because they wanted everything to match up to how we do things. Plenty of other firms in our industry are extremely jealous of what we've produced because it is domain specific rather than over generalised.
That's when you purchase property and stop being a renter. As a renter you should have no expectations of being able to live somewhere beyond the length of your lease.

The problem is San Francisco and many other cities haven't encouraged developers enough to build housing to make ownership an affordable option.

Using USB-C wasn't the problem. The real problem is - they put only one port there. You cannot charge while you are connected to an HDMI projector / external HDD or a pen-drive.

But the latest Google Chromebook "Pixel" has two USB-C ports on either sides of the device.

> Though the site still loses money because of high development costs, it is booming, with gross merchandise sales reaching $1.93 billion last year. The fees Etsy collected on items listed and sold, as well as on services like the promoted placement of goods, reached $196 million.

This reads to me as though Etsy has spent more than $196 million on development in the last year. Am I reading it right? If so, that's insane.

If they aren't capable of making a profit with $196 million in revenue, when what they operate is a website, it seems unlikely to me that they will ever make a profit. The problem is compounded by their model (as highlighted in the article), which prevents any individual seller from scaling up very far. So how will they ever make money?

We did the same for our book about Groovy language. Our Jenkins-based build was:

- checking markdown for grammar errors

- transforming the markdown into doc files, required by the publisher (Packt), with all the Word formatting applied

- compile the Groovy code in the examples and verify the code with a Linter
It also masks the problem in the retrospective - in my view the most important part of scrum. Developers put down positives for going above and beyond rather than being forced to admit, and therefore analyse, that the team failed.

I've found, though perhaps it is a British cultural thing, that there are plenty of things people sit on and don't mention out of politeness - they only come out after a particularly bad failure.

Not at all true. The simple fact that we're born with two legs is proof that massive amounts of information about our surrounding world is already encoded into us before birth. It took millions of years for life to develop this novel mechanism for traversing this planet.

This, of course, extends to our minds as well. Simply the structure of our brain has an immense impact. Even if you don't believe that our neurons are pre-trained to know some things, you'd have to admit that our brain is wired in a way that allows us to learn quite efficiently in this world. But psychology is quite complicated, so it's hard to say what exactly is nature and what nurture.

Technically, when first life began, it really was without knowledge. Over time, organisms learned and adapted more and more to our environment, both physically and mentally.
His theory is that many attempted murders are prosecuted as aggravated assaults, and that advances in various medical best practices (care delivered on ambulance, emergency surgery, etc) have increased the survival rate of people who have been victims of assault, thus making the total number of people who die from murder decrease as a percentage of the population....but the actual rate of people trying to kill each other has increased.

Yeah, but you don't know if, for the first graph a straight line is underfitting or not.

Or if it's really a line or something with, for example, proportinal to T^1.1 (and not T) for example.

Oh and nature may have a different concept of "simple". Solving Maxwell's equations for a variety of cases is "simple" for nature. Folding a protein? Simple.

The huge difference is that I imagine that the vast majority of people subscribing to Janes don't do it with their own money, and as such aren't very price sensitive. I imagine that mosy people subscribing to GigaOm are almost certainly doing it with their own money.

Also IHS (the people who publish Janes) have a whole host of other products and well as consulting services, so they can easily afford to run Janes.com at a small loss as part of their marketing budget.

By limiting the number of ports they were able to make it even thinner than the Macbook Air. While it can be disturbing not to have multiple port, you will be able to charge and connect an HDMI BUT... you will need an (expensive) adaptator from Apple or a (hopefully cheap) from another manufacturer.

Overcoming getting stuck is the difference between a highly productive dev and the average dev. This is especially the case if the problem being worked on is hard. I am a very average dev in regards coding skills, but due to my background I have learned strategies to “unstick” myself after ending up in the middle of a massive mud pit. This has allowed me to solve problems better devs have not been able to accomplish.

Does this mean I cannot develop on localtest.me (that resolves to 127.0.0.1)?
Ask HN: We want to improve programming tests, what are your thoughts?
Am I correct that it only tests for conjunction with an orb of 1 degree?
There are many aspects, some positive and some negative.
Planets are also considered to align when they stand up to 8 degree apart.

An improved version would for example deploy when there is a triangle or conjunction, but fail on an opposition or square.

But as any astrologer will tell you, planned dates are meaningless.
So yes, why indeed?

On the one hand, blocking access to plain http servers on localhost is a good idea as it prevents people from trying to probe router servers etc. which don't expect to be accessed from the web.

But on the other hand, blocking secure websocket servers on 127.0.0.1 using a public DNS record and valid SSL certificate, is going too far.

Secure websocket servers on localhost are often implemented precisely for the purpose of being accessed by the public web, and are secured for that purpose. It's very rare to find wss servers on localhost using a public dns record resolving to 127.0.0.1 and a valid ssl certificate (most people seem to think a wss server on localhost is not possible).

So this is bad for users. For example, it will break Dropbox's feature which allows you to open files from within the web app in a native application such as Excel (if you have the file synced on your computer).

If Chrome continue with this, then apps such as Dropbox will have to implement these kinds of features using server proxies. These will be slower and less secure since they will need to be able to guarantee that a TCP connection from a web browser and a TCP connection from a local daemon are from the same machine (this is not easy to do when NAT is involved).

This is a good thing. I recently found an exploit in a widely-distributed bit of software that listened on localhost but had minimal protection against malicious inputs. Anyone who could trigger your browser to make a crafted request to locahost (which is very easy) could make this bit of software download and execute any remote executable.

Because Americans use the stupidest way of writing dates: middle endian. It doesn't sort correctly (unlike YMD), it's inconsistent in the unit magnitude order (unlike DMY and YMD) and it's different than virtually anyone else in the world.
Rent control doesn't prevent me from desiring more high-density residential construction in the city.

Thing, is, even folks in rent controlled units have major life events. You get tired of the person you're living with, get sick of the changing neighborhood, have a baby, or a new Significant Other. In a city that has such an extreme lack of housing, changing your living arrangement to reflect your changing life is somewhere between extremely difficult and impossible.

Folks who are preventing new development aren't folks that are motivated by a desire to protect their rent controlled apartments. They're folks who are motivated by a desire to see greatly increased year-over-year rents on their non-rent-controlled units, greatly increased year-over-year leverage on their existing property, and/or the continued preservation of the look and feel of the neighborhood (read: those with a strong resistance to change.).

A few years back it was so annoying when they started to get rid of optical drives, but now nobody misses it. Soon we wont give a rats ass about USB as well. Especially on laptops, because on a desktop you will still need it for a few peripherals. But on a laptop where everything is built in...

My opinion is, that magsafe was awesome. I hate having everything in the cloud.

And yes, these guys will do whatever they want. Because 98% of their customer base don't give a damn and even if they do, they will still buy it, because of brand loyalty and other reasons.

They're not blocking all access, just sub-resources from Internet pages (you can still develop/use local servers). And they're adding a command line switch and enterprise policy to allow localhost.

Also this is preferred way to communicate with localhost:

This really depends on where you draw the line between knowledge and non knowledge. Our entirety scientific body is the best explanation we have for the phenomenon we as a social species have observed. Much of what we call 'knowledge' - like maths or physics, is actually human produced culture (in that it is taught after it has been discovered). It is subject to being incorrect (although it would take a very powerful set of observations, deductions, definitions, and measurements to prove it incorrect).

I think honestly, the line between nature and nurture really depends on what you believe makes you human, conscious, and existing with awareness. You can technically define the entire existence of the universe as a process of changing states of information (some of which may not be measurable).
Even an iPhone is hand made when you get down to it, the Model T Ford was handmade too. Things that are not 'handmade' are usually made somewhere in the Far East by lots of hands in such a way that things appear 'bought' rather than 'handmade'.
Yes it is, but if you read closer, you will see that they are also planning to block access to secure websocket servers with public dns resolving to 127.0.0.1 and valid ssl certificates setup precisely for the purpose of being accessed by the public web. This is completely unnecessary.
From the actual article (and not the news article): "The results show that students’ change in programming patterns is only weakly predictive of course performance"

Not as "juicy" as the website - but then again, it's the actual results :)
From the description, it only means that external pages won't be able to access resources on localhost, but you could still develop on localhost as usual.
I have been using backup2l together with rsync for ages and it has been working great. It doesn't natively support encryption though.

As the article says, when you're temping and have an irregular income, you need to pay more in guarantor fees, advance rent etc to make up for your perceived/actual lack of stability.
It is fascinating to read about all these thinking failure modes - but my own (very tentative) takeaway from that book was that there is no one way of thinking that is appropriate everywhere, that if many people are failing in a particular way in one simulation game - then there is probably another game where their way of thinking would be the winning strategy.
Sub-resources includes websocket connections. The link you point to is not a standard and will not work cross-browser. You will also need to package your app using Chrome's format AFAIK. Basically, it's not really an option at this point in time.
> Shell scripting languages are famously obtuse and underpowered, and we've thought about how to cleanly merge shell scripting with a real language. It's heartening to see an attempt at it.

I used tclsh for a while. IMO a shell language needs the "function arg1 arg2" function-application syntax to fit with the way programs are called. Fortunately that style seems to be getting more popular - Haskell does it and to a certain extent so does Scala.
I think my statement about waterfall is misplaced - really I mean the benefits of scrum in my experience outweigh the negatives but I can't say the same for waterfall.

I'm well aware of alternatives to Scrum and if I could choose I would prefer a kanban approach supporting continuous delivery/deployment; rather than be bound by all the constraints of the scrum ceremonies and sprint timelines. Hopefully I'll get to put this into practice in the next couple of months with my team.
> What was interesting is that the higher-performing group (Alpha) was stuck less often that the lower-performing group (Gamma).

Which may just be correlated with high performance, not necessarily the cause.

If you make "don't get stuck" a motto, you can easily imagine people skipping over difficult problems and not thinking about a good solution.
8 Data Integration Best Practices
Yep, this is a good thing. Apart from dev work, I like the pattern of local Web UIs for installed apps, I wish they were more commonplace - without risking the user's security.
Rental housing (like garbage collection) is only efficient when there is more than enough housing (or memory) available to meet demand (of tenants, or of the garbage collection machinery). In obscenely undersupplied cities like SF, rents become absurdly high very, very fast.

Case in point. In 1998 (At about the height of the Dot Com bubble) a one-bedroom apartment in my building rented out for ~$500/month. In 2010 (While the real-estate market was still recovering from its enormous collapse) that same apartment rented out for ~$1500/month.

That's a 3X increase in "market price" of a good from the height of a superheated bubble to shortly after the collapse of another one.

SF's rental market is seriously fucked by undersupply.
No, they spent ~37 million on "product development" and made a loss of around 15 million. (per their S-1 filing)

I don't really know what a "normal" distribution would look like (why does the article attribute the loss to the development costs?)
Well we can still enable it if we need it

"In conjunction with the change, we will need a command line switch and enterprise policy to revert to the older behavior for testing and legacy applications."

Added, do you have some more info on that one, drawbacks, performance?
Yes, but it should not be blocking access to wss with DNS resolving to 127.0.0.1 and valid SSL certificate, which is what they are planning to do, breaking web apps such as Dropbox which rely on this.

I totally agree that SF needs to build like crazy. Every new residential construction that goes up fills me with a little joy. :)

> The rent control creates the mold and stuck windows. That's the point.

Bullshit.

1) Friends down the block from me live in a tall "market rate" tower that is in substantially poorer condition than the rent-controlled building that I call home.

2) In SF, stuck windows and mold are must-repair items for landlords, regardless of rent control status. If you as a tenant can't get satisfaction from your landlord, do the repair yourself and present him with a bill. The law guarantees that you'll be reimbursed in circumstances like these.
Flyway 3.2 Released – Database Migrations Made Easy
If you rely on connecting your web app with a locally installed daemon (properly secured using wss and additional mutual authentication) then that's not really an option either, as you can't expect your users to know how to use command line switches. Cutting off access to wss is a big deal.
> Books on GitBook are written using a beautiful editor and publish using Git or GitHub.

=> publishED?
Of course it is (probably aided by tenancy law)

But when the owners/managers are old people locked in their cultural assumptions this kind of crap happens

Maybe it's time for an occidental company to start providing such service.
I would also add that Tarsnap is probably the best option if you only need to backup a small size of data (a few KBs, a few MBs or even a few hundred MBs), since you have top-notch encryption with the picodollar pricing and stellar dedup you will pay much less than with any other provider as you pay per usage. For instance, rsync.net is a good destination (can be used with some of the tools in the list, like duplicity or attic) but you need to buy at least 50GB so for small backups it's not worth it.
