In essence, having diversity in ownership can help the project have a long life instead of being governed by one entity. There's a lot of risk that the main entity in charge will do things in its self interest instead of the self interest of the project (and its constituency) over the long term.

Independent ownership and proper governance will setup the project for long term success and as a small company, you should prefer it to be that way.
This is impressive. I'll just have to override the form styling - personally I find the material approach to forms to be a case of trying to fix something that isn't broken.
Almost a case for jQuery style of web design. Even though cleaner, more solid js frameworks allow for better apps, it renders the web goal dead, moving toward some kind of prototypical Self/SmallTalk environment, too dynamic, not enough core state that can watched without much specific machinery.
Right, so it seems like a distraction to me to focus on one facet of something not to agree with rather than the whole problem.

Turned around the problem with this argument is that it's solved by getting to know the people you are about to kill.

Which sounds rather silly if the point is to protest killing people at all.

Or if we stay focused on drones, just kill them with one of the other dozen remote methods we have at our disposal.
Ah, so it does the calculations on the server? My bad, I assumed it was calculating everything real time on the client. What is the server written in?
I think it's wrong to look at patents as protecting "ideas." Economically, the purpose of patents is to prevent free-riding on cost-intensive R&D. Practically, their value is allowing R&D to be decoupled from production.

Samsung's Exynos is a good example. ARM is a small entity that does the hard R&D. Samsung has the manufacturing capability, but has to buy ARM's IP. Each company specializes in what they're good at, and patents mediate the transaction between them.

Probably the most important factor in choosing a unikernel right now, is programming language. Most seem to support one language only.

OSv however, is different (though it's often spoken about as a Java platform) in that it's just a stripped down linux that doesn't support fork(2). I'm working on getting SBCL running on OSv and it already supports a few other languages.

LING is also interesting to me. Although it too, is a single programming language proposition -- erlang can be sweetened up a bit with LFE, Lisp Flavored Erlang. Spin up time for LING is most impressive.

Data types aren't the bottleneck, the deployment model is. Editing a Go application requires the following steps:

1. Edit the project's files.
2. Open the (scary and alienating) command line.
3. Run `go build` and hope it works right.
4. Find and stop the old running server process and start the new version

Oh, and you'd better hope step 3 goes smoothly, because a tiny mistake anywhere in your application will cause this weird thing called a "compiler error" that means that the entire thing will break. Editing a Wordpress site, on the other hand, looks like this:

1. Edit the project's files.
2. There is no step 2.

As developers, we're comfortable with the first workflow. We happily accept the added complexity because of all the other nice things it gives us and because we're probably using other tools like version control that end up making our experience much more uniform between the two. But to a user whose primary experience is with editing Word documents there is a huge jump there.

The only reason to want negative interest rates is to discourage "cash hoarding". This is quite similar to the FDR gold ban reasoning: the economy has contracted, a small number of people refuse to allow their vast wealth to decrease, therefore the wealth decrease falls most harshly on those with least wealth.

Given that most wealth in the present day is in the form of debt-like instruments or assets, there is another, fairer way to negative interest rates: tax on bond repayments.

$100 zero-coupon zero-interest treasury bond with 1% tax on repayment has the same effect as negative interest rates.

I don't find that argument convincing. Chomsky makes it clear that if he was interested in understanding something, in this case C, he would make an honest effort at finding the people and resources necessary to reach that goal.

Continental philosophy and postmodern thought fall reasonably within the domain of Chomsky's interests. If a man of his knowledge and reputation cannot parse the arguments being made then really what is the utility of those arguments.

It would be one thing if Chomsky was rejecting the arguments being made. Instead he is basically saying there is no argument.

In my experience, to borrow seanmcdirmid's terminology below, one can use Haskell as a "program to think" language - and in fact Haskell brings some significant tools to the table that I miss when I'm using Python to feel around a problem, to the point that I often choose Haskell for this. In both languages, writing small pieces of code and examining their shape and their output can be helpful in growing my understanding of the solution space, but I find that Haskell tends to let me ask more complete questions with less complete code.

I'm a Windows Server Administrator, have been for a very long time. And, if you'll permit it, I'll say I'm a damn good one. I think there are two things that have gotten me to where I am today: 1) Incessantly asking why, and 2) voracious reading and research in my lab.

I acquired some servers a while back, then got some switches, then a router, all enterprise-grade gear, and I set up some virtual servers, vswitches, etc... Basically, I made a ridiculously complicated home lab. To do so, I followed tutorials online, but at every step of the way, I asked "why is this necessary, what does this do, why do I do it this way". That gave me a great foundational understanding.

Then, I realized that certifications aren't restricted to a certain group of people, anyone can take them, so I started studying for certifications. The idea was, these large governing bodies think these are the kinds of things that experts should know, so if I learn these things, I should be an expert. Right? Not quite, but reading up on each of the features, etc, that are covered in the certification exams really expanded my horizons. Then of course, I started asking Why would I use that and things just snowballed. Hear about something, ask why it is what it is and why people need/want it, then read up on it.

My home lab has been one of my greatest learning tools. Everything I've read about I have set up, installed, configured in my home lab. Then, I usually ask my brother (who also does IT) to come break something in the lab. He of course doesn't tell me what it is, and I have to go figure out what my "junior admin" did wrong and repair it.

So, I guess the TL;DR version is this:
You need three things: 1) A home lab. 2) The question Why. 3) Tons and tons of reading.

It was a trivial example. Are you saying that you never write code that needs multiple un-related, un-joinable sets of data out of the database?

Even with this example - I need a list of all products and I need a list of all categories... Joining them means I have to write client code to split them up again for display.

In any case, I use this tactic a lot for CRUD apps and it makes everything quicker when I can call one stored procedure and get back 7 lists of stuff that I need to display on my page.

Wikipedia may have problems, but I'm not sure how this particular issue is a mark against it. Wikipedia's editorial resources aren't limited in the same way as a traditional publication. It's not like curtailing "frivolous" subjects will result in better quality "serious" articles: the people who write Star Wars articles are not going to take up medieval history if you prevent them from editing their favorite subjects.

This was the textbook in my file systems class a couple years ago. Great book that really does a good job of explaining how file systems work.
A drone pilot is apt to make fewer errors and more time to think before unloading. This removal from immediate reality is a double edged sword, there is less immediate harm to them but that also affords the remote pilot to consider things more coldly and calculatedly. There is more Tim to think before unloading, so that means fewer mistakes. When you have humanned aircraft, you get lots more collateral and unintended casualties.

People intrinsically have a problem with the clinicality of technological enhancement.

Imagine an algorithm which could tell a police force who is likely out to commit crimes given observed parameters (time, route, familiarity in area, vehicle, passengers, origin, destination, income, education, criminal history, etc) people would be freaked out. I'm sure some day well have this and people will wish for good old police walking the beat, mistakenly stopping the wrong person, but at least its not an impersonal algorithm targeting you.

You said it wasn't in the interest of anyone, other than ISIS, Russia, and China, for the US to withdraw.

I pointed out some other examples of people who probably would like the US out of the international stage.

Your reply here makes it sound either like you didn't understand your original point - the hope that the US might withdraw - or that you believe the only people who are relevant are the US and those the US considers to be its opposition.

I am certain there are people in Bolivia who would like the US to stop protecting US business interests in that country, and who will not be negatively affected by possible growth in Russian, Chinese, or ISIS power should the US become the isolationist state you says was "tempting to hope".
