Is Slack Really Worth $2.8B? A Conversation with CEO Stewart Butterfield
" If you prefer using highland under the name _ like is done in the examples below, you can then simply use:

No. No, no, no. Goodness me.
I dislike when people try to say they don't have a political agenda and are "neutral" observers. All media has a political dimension, and even if you aren't trying to beat people over the head with it, it would serve you well to acknowledge your leanings. Even Frederick Wiseman, the creator of the "Film Truth" school of documentaries happily acknowledges that he could never be unbiased.

However it seems especially absurd to say he has no political agenda in his films, and in the next breath criticize two common political narratives.
What? I occasionally make barley in the same way I would rice, and it tastes fine. I add some salt, butter and other flavorings, but I do that for rice (or noodles, or potatoes) too.

The Future of Audacity, Interview with the Team
To be foolproof, the device's function must be very simple, like that of a power strip or an electric kettle. (A microwave is already too complex for that.)

I suspect a wireless charger's function is simple enough to become foolproof. Wired chargers are mostly foolproof already.
"Reading and experience train your model of the world. And even if you forget the experience or what you read, its effect on your model of the world persists. Your mind is like a compiled program you've lost the source of. It works, but you don't know why."

Love that paragraph. Thanks for the link. Unlike other fillers I've read all day, this one will stick with me.
Exactly. I went to a sad war to piss off my parents. One Grandfather had delivered letters. Another had been in the 10th Australian Light Horse Regiment of the Australian army and last great horse led assault of the First World War.

I could not rebel by taking drugs. Both my parents went to wars. My parents had been famous journalists. My mother had broken the the story of the Heroin problem of the Australian army. My dad broke countless stories. All wars are nasty. I went to Sarajevo in the 1990's. This was a war of the break of communism (in a way) of Yugoslavia. This was a war that was accessible from a 3 hour flight form London.

Upon arrival I phoned both of my parents courtesy of of a CNN satellite. But I was lucky. Somebody pointed a gun at the car I was driving and missed. Another day somebody pointed a gun at the tank I was hiding behind. They missed.

The weird part of this story was that I was escaping the production of a violent computer game which I was meant to be helping with in the marketing. Where I went was very scary. In the computer game you never missed. In real life you just partied.

All of this to piss my parents off. Am I mad. The weird bit, was that marijuana was cool in my parents eyes, but war was not. There was neither the understanding in why I went, or why the war had happened by anybody. I still feel cut off by this war.

I lost the war. I started to believe that there should be no distance between the developed and developing world. But in the end no matter how strange the first world was that the developing world people will still fire guns at you. Having said that. I have more true friends in the developing world than the developed.

What makes me feel sad is that us as humans are basically the same.

Disclaimer: I was a Shadow 200 TUAV pilot in the US Army from 2001-2005, and yes, I spent a year in Iraq (OIF II circa 2003-2004) where I got 480+ combat flight hours.

You basically wrote the exact same comment I was about to write with striking similarity. For reference, this is a 18 year old me in the back of a Shadow GCS at Ft Huachuca, AZ, where all Shadow pilots are trained: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_control_station

The military never uses the word "drone", but prefers UAV aka Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, just as you mentioned. For what it is worth, this new navy thing isn't really that novel. The latest generation of Tomahawk cruise missiles do something very similar. You launch several of them into a battle theater and they circle around sending / receiving target information and telemetry between each other and the control stations.

This product does have the major players involved. From their website: "We accept most major insurance plans, including most forms of Medicare Part D." And CVS Caremark.

As you note: medication non-compliance is a huge issue--a 300 billion dollar problem in the US. Organizations that bear financial risk for populations aren't standing by twiddling their thumbs. The challenge for this company is ensuring that they remained at the forefront of addressing non-adherence, as opposed to being disintermediated, or disrupted by a better solution.
My gripe with Apple is all these Operating system upgrades in iOS and OS X. I understand the need to change, and security is of utmost importance, but don't alienate your customer base with OS's that need hours of tweaking, and then you still have programs that don't work, and missing files. I can't imagine Steve Jobs would be running the ship this way. Are their products still the best-- yes, but the margin is closing in my little world.

So, if cultural-linguistic idioms make use of a specific gender, they shouldn't be used because someone might get offended? At some point you have to assume that the other party is mature enough to understand and tolerate speech that isn't exactly tailored to their gender or sexual preference or race or what have you. I'm not going to cut out all the parts of my vocabulary that aren't perfectly 'equal' in the eyes of another.
The inside story of Northwest 188 (2009)

You make a good point about all the integrations. I might be in an minority situation, but none of the people who are enamoured with Slack that I work with are using any of that stuff. It's just instant messaging with a sprinkle of file sharing to them. It seems to me the biggest thing, as others have pointed out, is the polish and the native apps. For example, Hangouts does most of it, but Google has killed of their native apps and the in-browser experience is really suboptimal. Having a simple, dedicated, well designed native app really makes a difference.
Anyone downvoting this might do better to explain why lisp garbage collection sucked and why so many people claimed it didn't before java was thought of. Downvoting rather than replying is lame. This is a respectful comment.

Note also I deliberately used direct quotes. If they are unfair please find something that isn't vague to demonstrate that.

Edit: Noting more downvotes received and no more replies. Is this language wars? Do you thin this is the scala community? The only reason I would have tried the video and posted here is due to an interest in scala and I've really tried to be fair in my responses. No matter, life is too short to waste more time on it.
CRS-6 landing, drone ship perspective
As an upper performance bound for a GC language, I don't think Go will be able to surpass C# (which has stack allocation in the form of structs, ahead of time compilation, and many other goodies). Rust, on the other hand, has more potential as a non GC language, though at the end of the day it might be hard to tell given equivalent applications.
The Apple Clothing Line (1986)
Regardless of the company's ambition, the firm still has to compete with all of the other small businesses marketing the same packaging services in every city. Many actually have very similar machines manufactured by AmerisourceBergen.

The role of a PBM is to create value for the payer; this typically occurs by the company using the collective power of its membership to negotiate down drug prices, specialty or otherwise. If creating value for the payer means increasing adherence then why not. At least that's what many PBM executives have said that I have spoken with.

The largest customer is the pbm/ payer/ private insurer market where the benefits of adherence can be marketed to those who pay for the cost of patient noncompliance.

I had a project very similar to this. However, my focus was the backend data system as my perspective was each patient may need a different compliance solution.
I think one thing that we need to emphasize is that Rust 1.0 does not indicate that we think the language is "complete". It is merely the result of recognition that getting to that "complete" state can, as of very soon, be done in a stable and backwards-compatible fashion. I expect the post-1.0 releases to see a flurry of activity as we flesh out deficiencies in existing features and add new features to address pain points, but over time the rate of feature growth will slow. Rust has no intention of becoming a ball-of-mud programming language.
The latest mailing (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/#mai...) includes several new reflection proposals. N4447 probably covers what you want (although I'm not a huge fan of it).
From what I can see, it looks like GitHub employee @jakeboxer explicitly took the GamerGate one down to satisfy a feminist called @nexxylove because she claimed it contained "stalking and harassment" documents. http://imgur.com/AgSwrE2.

Yep, not evident from the transparency report that repos get taken down so casually, with other users protesting. [I'm guessing it probably didn't contain those sort of instructions, and they can't claim so in the transparency report, because that would be libelous.]
OISC is something you sometimes get to build in EE labs, usually as the last project for that class. It's something that you can put together out of 7400s and, at least in our case, an eeprom for a lookup table. It's a fun thing to do and I recommend it.

One would hope they were mature enough to understand an idiom, and not so delicate that they would need to be handled with kid gloves.
> Rust is trying many things at once then letting things die off as they prove useless.

Yes, this is perfectly true. I cannot tell from your phrasing whether you think experimentation, learning from experience and removal of pointless code is good or bad. I personally think all of those are good, but you're perfectly entitled to differ.

Go was designed with the lessons learned and experienced gained from plan9, Rust was designed with the lessons learned and experienced gained from iterating on Rust itself. Seems pretty similar. :)
There's actually an official "study group" looking at compile time refection proposals, so this is definitely something in the works. However, the proposals have ranged from mediocre to downright horrible so it's probably not going to be in the standard any time soon.

Well, if I wanted to offend, I would have. It is frankly no challenge to deliberately say something un-PC and widely offensive. It is also apparently little more challenging to utter something more subtle and more narrowly offensive.

I look at "manly man" depictions of, well, manly men (for instance, watch Kevin Kline's performance in A Fish Called Wanda) as parody. Monty Python did it. Mark Twain probably did it. Do they offend people? Sure. Do people not get the joke? Oh yeah. Did that stop the artists in question? Not really. Am I comparing myself to great artists? I'm not worthy, but I study at the feet of masters.

So, in my writing (and I've done a bit of it; look at my profile and my blog) I tend not to give a flying unmentionable about who I piss off. Now, HN is different because it's not my ball game here, but hey, if everyone wrote so as not to offend then the world would be a dull place. I've opposed what I believe is the actual evil -- Political Correctness -- for decades, and I'm not going to stop now.

I like to take language out and give it a violent shake. Have fun with it, see what it can do. I'm not going to change the world by substituting something benign and utterly unoffensive for "manly-man," so fuck it. That's what down-votes are for. I'm not even sure what I'd put there instead, quite frankly. Your suggestions don't preserve the meaning at all. Kevin Kline would be sad.

I regret that you were offended.

Now, can we Godwin this stupid thread and get it over with? Someone toss in the grenade, okay? in 10, 9, 8 . . .

I don't often find myself needing to get T, but sometimes I do. Consider the case of a Handler<T extends Foo> interface that several classes implement. If I have several of these, for various Foo subtypes, I might want to put them in some sort of collection that I can look into later after receiving a Foo message, so that I can dispatch it appropriately. Why do I have to do this dispatch myself? The types of all the Handlers go away, so I need to hold on to them somehow, and match at runtime.

The clear way to do this is to put them in a Map<Class<T>, Handler<T>>. Now how do these Handler objects declare that they're ONLY able to handle a specific Foo subtype (let's call it FooBar)? It'd be REALLY nice if I could just say "Hey handler, what's your generic type? Is the message I just got an instanceof your generic type?" Java won't let you do this due to erasure.

Okay we can get around this. Each Handler<T> has to declare a method (say getType()) that returns the Class<T>. Since I'm generically declaring my class FooBarHandler<FooBar>, I can protect myself from returning a BazBat in this method, but there's NO way for me to abstract this method away. Each Handler has to declare a "public Class<T> getType()" that returns T.class. But since T isn't a thing past compile time, I have to repeat this same method implementation for each concrete type. Gross. This has the added irritation of forcing all the parent classes, if they implement this interface, to be abstract, since they can't implement the method appropriately. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the limitation is annoying.

In an ideal world, I can declare some ParentHandler<T> that has this method, and have all my handlers just extend it, with no duplication.

> Go performance is going to converge on C performance with new optimization's being written after go 1.5.

Do you have more details. It would seem like it would be rather difficult to do that. Sure it can rival Java in some workloads, but C performance is a tall claim.
Rob Pike has been working on Go's design since Newsqueak in the 90s, and further explored the same space later with Limbo. For reference, Newsqueak is a C-inspired language that features CSP for concurrency (which should sound familiar to Go programmers). Here's some example syntax (which should look familiar to Go programmers):

a := mk(array[10] of int)

Given this lineage, it seems disingenuous to compare the ages of the two languages. Modern Rust is to early Rust as Go is to Newsqueak.

There are plenty of excellent reasons why working at a startup is a poor choice for most people. These are some pretty terrible reasons.
This.

I'm wondering how this warranted a writeup like this. Someone starts a few ventures, a few people lost some money, its ambiguous as to whether or not there are valid claims to the lost money. Total amount "a few million dollars".

What makes this different?

And the examples given are of ventures that Josh worked for 8+ years in. Hardly the mark of a conman.

Many HN participants have left behind more failed ventures or lost more money than this Josh.
The upper performance for garbage collected languages (and rust) is potentially higher than C. The reasons are non aliased pointers allow more aggressive optimization, and batched garbage collection plus memory compaction can perform better than regular mallocs.

Rust still has these advantages though, time will tell. Does rust have a way to avoid bounds checks on arrays? I suppose that requires unsafe annotations.
Ah, someone else linked it:

As it happens, despite the parent comment's hypothesis, it's clear from their website that most insurance companies (and also Caremark) do cover Pillpack for the standard co-pay.

Oddly enough, risk bearing entities like insurance companies actually follow financial incentives and want policy holders to take needed drugs. The profiteering bastards.
You're not compressing just any number... you're compressing a number representing a bitmap that's mostly white. That that can be done is not just theoretical... it's done all time time. (Computer files are, after all, just large numbers.)
This is true, but it does confirm my point about language flux potentially being a problem. It may work out nicely though.
If it's not a drop in replacement for underscore or lodash, please don't use "_".
Just because there must be a human in the target designation loop, does not imply that there must be a human in the target elimination loop. After the targets are designated an entirely autonomous swarm may indeed be the perfect way to eliminate them.

Comes with its own risks, of course, but efficiency dictates that this is going to happen regardless. Best that the safeguards remain in place where they don't compromise that efficiency rather than pretending that we can just agree as a species not to pursue that efficiency gain.

Asymptotic Notations
From their website: "We accept most major insurance plans, including most forms of Medicare Part D." And CVS Caremark.

I was thinking something different. Is PillPack in network for CVS Caremark? Many insurance companies will pay for your drugs out of network. It just costs more.

If it is in network then great! They are obviously further ahead than I thought.

That being said, I just returned a surface pro 3 for a tablet. The display is nice, the feel is great, but the omg the resolution and font issues. Forget it, you consistently feel how much you have to deal with the OS itself to get it out of your way. Until tablet pcs are ready I still have a desktop win box and a mac mini and my tablet.

I'm also spoiled by the App Store concept. Windows needs to force it on developers. One tap installs on Android and great dependency tools like homebrew or Leiningen have made me never want to download stuff manually ever again.
This comment is very strange. Go was made public when it was stable (or maybe shortly before?), Rust was made public long before it was.

Rust will be stable in 4 weeks, Go was stable several years ago. So what? If we judged languages by how early they were stable, we would all be writing Fortran 57, Algol 58, and COBOL 60.

I think it would be cool if, when scrolling through an article, the word size changes based on how far along the article you are.

For instance, at the top of the article the words towards the top of your screen are bigger and easier to read, and at the bottom of the article the words towards the bottom of your screen are bigger and easier to read. This has the effect that your eyes start at the top of the article and slowly go towards the bottom as you read through the article.

This should help combat the "F" shaped reading problem the article was talking about.
