You've got it wrong. Not sure why you think I'm talking about him like a pariah but that is certainly not my intent. I don't treat him, or anybody else I barely know, in a special way; especially not like a pariah. I don't understand how you think based just on what I wrote that I have any special feelings in any directions about Stallman? In fact I barely read any articles from Stallman nor know much about him. Let alone I'd let some general opinion about him color my opinion on this article. I can assure you what I wrote above was based solely on this article and as objectively as possible. And basically all I said was "true facts, but not sure I agree everybody should just ditch FB based on this".

Oh yeah, I'm not even American but European. Although again: I do not think that matters much? Why do you think it does (honest question - you seem to have a strong idea that somehow the US is against him and others aren't. May I ask why?)

A really nice project, I might build one for my daughter.

I used to have something similar when I studied Architecture: my drawing table was always covered with thick yellow paper kept in place with painter's tape, on which I jotted down notes and sketches. This is much more practical, as you don't have to cut a new sheet of paper when the old one is too dirty/full.
What Facebook 2FA uses SMS and the app? All I know is either sending codes per SMS you enter on the web page or using a code generator app. Setting it up doesn't even require the Facebook app, let alone it reading SMS. Am I missing something? (I don't use Facebook much)

> people here love to bring that up ("what - you DON'T KNOW WHO STALLMAN IS? SHAME? HOW DARE YOU CRITICISE HIM?")

I have never seen anyone on HN say that or anything similar. Maybe you were thinking of some other place?

For myself, I've been giving Stallman's opinions a lot more weight since the Snowden revelations, since at that point a great many of his ideas instantly switched from "over-idealistic / ridiculous / almost paranoid" to "well what do you know, he actually was right all along!".

I am myself quite idealistic and concerned about privacy, free and/or open source software, personal liberties, etc. I just used to think Stallman was taking it a bit too far to the crazy side. Then Snowden happened and it turns out he was right about a lot of the things that I really thought went a bit too far "out there". Not all of the things, mind you, but enough of them to make me pause and give thought to his opinions, and try to take them seriously.

And it's probably my own bias, but on HN as well, it seems to me that his name and ideas have been discussed quite a bit more often after Snowden, than before.
No, it's not. One is free to preserve their privacy by using 20000000 if not 20 device MAC addresses. The aim is not to be tracked - which would imply changing the MAC address regularly.

Private Clouds: do they really exist?
Why would you have to choose between privacy and convenience? You can have both. The idea that they contradict each other is just spin from companies like Facebook.

If I were to follow you with a bullhorn shouting messages at you, it probably wouldn't be considered illegal, but It would be extremely rude. And the same thing with these internet companies. Just because they can track and follow you, pushing messages down your troth, does not mean they have to, because it may be legal, but it's simply rude.

As a society we've lost the moral compass on the web, or rather we've never had one. Internet is like a third world corrupt country where you either take advantage of others your self or you are being abused. Now we have to start building a climate were you don't feel like you're missing out by treating your customers fair and with respect.
I thought so too, but the outrage on HN over Snowden's revelations showed otherwise. Many people here were baffled.

I had similar thoughts and wondered if Stripe had agreed to cover operating costs and a skeleton crew for the transition period. Nothing wrong with this and it speaks highly of all involved that they reached that agreement.

To me, the 'Senior' adjective in a job title corresponds to the individual's position within the organization that has bestowed that title, not necessarily to the individual's abilities compared to the larger community.
Actually, I think this video sums up the main problem with the article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8HdOHrc3OQ

Would you say the guy in the video is aggressive? He certainly speaks loudly and authoritatively, and uses a lot of emotional words and shortcuts.

Of course the answer is no. The article confuses, quite thoroughly, aggression and passion. That's why I said "she's reading too much into it", because she reads "aggression" where she should just probably read "passion".
> The things you described are features, right?

Right, they provide additional structure that can in turn help someone express themselves.

But you're right, the complexity can obscure some underlying simplicity.

I suspect that the solution is to disentangle the two: to help programmers understand the computational model independent of the language.

> it also covers the model of computation itself

eval/apply is what I'd consider the model of Lisps, rather than chainable action perimeters. The two are linked, of course, former depending on the latter. I guess you probably mean roughly the same thing by it, so I'm not disagreeing, just saying what I was thinking of.

I agree, the von Neumann model of computation is not necessarily useful if programmers believe it is the only model. But I think it is crucial for programmers to understand.

Huge numbers of couples in Europe, Japan, Korea, etc have decided to not have kids, so clearly they can "afford" to not have them. Unless you can show a link between not having kids and having psychological problems (and I don't mind just a simple correlation on the whole society, I mean per couple), I'd say that's just like, your opinion, man.

I agree with CyberFonic.

What is the purpose of "protecting it"?

Isn't "protecting it" at cross purposes to making it go viral?

The best protection is first-mover advantage. Take more market share than any competitor can easily gain back, and do it quickly, preemptively. Attach your brand to it somehow; that way your brand becomes famous and the kudos will attach to you.

People worry a lot about protecting their precious ideas when they should be implementing them to see if it's what the market really wants. Good ideas are a dime a dozen. Good implementers are not.

Best of luck, I hope what you've got is transformative.
The concept of 'doing the right thing' is a matter of perspective. In other words, people may have vastly different ideas about what the 'right thing' is, in s given situation.

Looks lovely. Could be used in art galleries for comments & doodles about the exhibits (then unrolled to make an exhibit itself).

I have been thinking about the inverse idea: a small desk with a plain pine plank top with a sheet of acrylic over that. A large piece of paper between the two with schedule/calendar/mind map for a several month project written on it. Papers archived after project completed. Important changes noted by lifting the acrylic.
Try a small fold away table with a top with sides like a tray for the coffee. I remember those from childhood. They went out of fashion in the 60s.
They certainly warned us, and Stallman has picked up the light to be shone on these dark territories from others before him, but who in the contemporary era has done as much as Stallman to educate the public as to the dangers of the usurpation of technology by nefarious agencies?

I don't understand the need to denigrate Stallman for these deeds - what purpose does it serve to extinguish this light?

I'm really confused here... you said "Many people made such claims long before he did." and I asked for an example. I didn't ask what movements he's a representative of and I don't know whether anyone who attended DEFCON heard about it. All I wonder is if their is one clear example of someone who made such claims long before he did?

What did I attribute that you didn't say? I assume you refer to "to say that we shouldn't act because we are almost entirely powerless in representative government" and I can see what you mean but what point was you making when stating that we're almost entirely powerless in representative government if not argue against taking action?

"And that the politics of such is that they can't really say that."

I'm going to call bullshit on that one. Regardless of how much or little Apple had to do with USB Type-C, what historical examples do we have that Apple's collaboration with the USB standards body would be seen as problematic? Apple aren't unknown in the world of standards bodies. Just because they use Thunderbolt on some other devices? Here's a newsflash, Apple doesn't control Thunderbolt development, Intel does.

If you have some verifiable information about the history of USB Type-C (and it's protocol counterpart USB 3.1), then by all means share it, but cut out the rumour mill shit stirring.
This looks great, and I love the idea of GraphQL and declaratively defining the data you need.

I understand this is alpha / proof-of-concept, and this is in no way meant as criticism, also not specific to this implementation, but just trying to figure out something:

What's the security model for GraphQL (at least as intended for javascript clients speaking to a backend)? Can we just pass the GraphQL from the client to the server and execute it? (In this case, directly on the PG database). What kind of security can be built around this?
That's just it, though, the movement is the example. If you can't get there abstractly, John Gilmore comes to mind.

I also very clearly said nothing about action. You added that and I happen to disagree that we shouldn't act. Powerless in government is an orthogonal concept and you conflated them and disagreed with something I didn't say.
I don't understand why your comment is voted up so much because you only seem to provide an opinion ("I don't understand...") and take 10 paragraphs for it.
> There is no method for capturing a full 3D model in experiment

3D atom probe is getting there[1], though that's not at all appropriate for biological samples. This is where you get a microscopic conical section of your sample and remove material one layer of atoms at a time using a laser and then detect the ions removed using a mass spectrometer. This gives a 3D reconstruction of your sample, which is incredibly useful for crystallography.

[1] http://www.cameca.com/instruments-for-research/atom-probe.as...

Of course, you can also do tomography with STEM/TEM too, and reconstruct a 3D model that way. I've seen people do this with analytical EM so you get a 3D model colour-coded by composition, though this hasn't been at atomic resolution.

This is why development is ageist. Keeping programming skills up to date after work, and spending hours after work trying different languages and libraries is fine when your young.

5 years! A career these days is 40-45 years. If you are "senior" in only 5 then where do you expect to go from there?

20 years experience, on a wide range of technologies, in a variety of roles, then we'll talk senior. Until then calling yourself "senior" just invites people not to take you seriously.
Whiteboard and phone camera works quite well for recording what was doodled in a problem solving meeting.

Your vertical roller version with digitiser suggests the use of a continuous loop of dry marker roller (this used to exist as canvas painted with a heavy paint that could take dry marker pens. The paint used to crack after some years though) so after being scanned, the marks are erased...
As said, first mover advance. In addition do the key-alliances in advance in the market or industry you want to deploy your product/technology and keep it simple and good enough to kill any competitor.

You could also try to become the standard referal in the community of hardcore users you want, such open source, early adopter geeks, mac fanboys or whoever you are targeting, but remember you can't be liked by everyone and copy/competition is a natural part of success.
Where I am, you have to call yourself senior to get a salary comparable to other professions.

Hey, I fuly agree with what yor saying, having let dev teams for agile projects for more then ten years, all remove attemts we tried were not producing results as good as those of the onsite teams.

What's wrong with stack allocated buffers? They are faster (no malloc/free) and the stack is large enough to hold couple of KiB of data.

Can you link to specific examples? I'm currently not taking your word for it. The file has comments. Maybe too few and too terse for you, but that isn't what you've said. Yes, some buffers are stack-allocated, but what's wrong with that? No unsafe functions are used to write to them. Discussing style, unless it's really terrible which is also not the case and moreover it is well documented (as OpenBSD KNF), is a waste of time.

I suspect 'most people' aren't even remotely aware of such arguments. Nor of the effects that choices now will have on their future selves.

Just to clarify this, so people don't get the wrong idea, electron-electron interactions are also incredibly important in an electron microscope.

> and then scan at equal or higher resolution!

Note that while this is what's happening here, you can get similar atomic-resolution images without scanning at all, by just illuminating a sample with a broad electron beam (see 'TEM' (or 'conventional TEM') vs 'STEM'). Strictly speaking, STEM and TEM are equivalent techniques (by something called the reciprocity theorem), but in practice you'd almost certainly prefer one over the other depending on your sample and one technique is not necessarily better than the other.

> I'm interested in the detector. I'm guessing these are reconstructed using a combination of side-scatter and forward-scatter information.

For some of the STEM-HAADF images in the article, a 'high angle annular' (the 'HAA' part) detector is used, which collects electrons that are just scattered at high-angles in the forward direction, because this results in images that are much easier to interpret (intensity is just proportional to mass and thickness). The detector itself is commonly a scintillator/photomultiplier tube combo.

There are tonnes of other detectors used though. Until recently, it was common to just expose TEM images onto film (I have some of my own samples actually). An operator would find the region of the specimen they wanted to take an image of using a live view which was the electron beam projector onto a phosphor screen and, when ready, move the screen aside and expose it to film. More recently, the vast majority of TEM micrographs are taken using normal CCD tech.
