Unfortunately, many developers are going to be writing code in Swift. Xcode and Swift are baked and there's plenty of Swift information (e.g. http://www.h4labs.com/dev/ios/swift.html)

At this point, it's probably not worth writing in ObjC just to be compatible with Windows.

I've been using it with an ember cli app on OS X for a couple weeks (had pre release access). It's pretty nice some kinks here and there specifically with my tmp folder being giant. But for being what it is now its pretty awesome.

Handles builds and debugging too although it'll take some setup depending on your project type.

They basically took the vs Monaco online browser editor which was already awesome and put it on atom shell/electron for everyone to be able to use natively. Definitely a smart move. Compared to paying $70 for sublime it's a really good deal.

Microsoft’s New Browser Will Be Called Microsoft Edge
Paul Krugman in 2002: "To fight this recession the Fed needs…soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. [So] Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble."

Somehow every op-ed this guy writes gets treated as the word of god. It is important to remember that while he does have a Nobel prize, he has also said a lot of profoundly dumb stuff.

I am not saying that Austerity is inherently good or inherently bad. The truth, like for everything else, lies in the grey and is situation dependent. Krugman however is absolutely religious about fiscal stimulus and demand side economics, and is going to claim that the solution to EVERY problem is increased government spending.

These situations are nuanced and unfortunately what you are hearing from Krugman is something more akin to proselytizing his religous views on the graces of Government spending(a view which no facts or events would every sway him from) opposed to thinking critically about a difficult problem.

So no check box to deactivate this phone-home feature that used to be standard in Microsoft products like Visual Studio, Office and Windows. That's a regression. (Source - bottom grey text: https://code.visualstudio.com//#alt-downloads )

Aeron from Martin Thompson of mechanical sympathy fame uses a custom, reliable protocol over UDP to achieve much lower latency than is possible with TCP solutions. There seems to be a growing awareness that one-size fits all protocols like TCP don't necessarily offer the best tradeoffs, even when you need reliability.

In my experience, teams will figure their programs out very quickly by themselves, so this hasn't been as big a problem in practice for me as one would think.
This is a joke. They're making fun of NoSQL and its ilk.
My thoughts too: Sonar, or Checkstyle+PMD+FindBugs, is already ingrained in many of the larger codebases I've worked with.

Of course this is purely anecdotal since I've only worked with +-30 over the years.
Actually it is... it's not too different from what it always was. In the past, it was about businesses running "Back Office" versions of servers in the office. Because NAS boxes are now a good enough option in small businesses, and many are moving their hosting into more prominent cloud services, they are positioning Azure to be the platform of choice for windows based services and applications. They've got Office365 to handle the mail server duties people lost moving away from back office. As a small business you no longer need to self-host anything (other than maybe a local NAS box).

I hate sounding like an advertisement for MS, but it really isn't THAT much of a pivot. More adapting to keep those parts of income that used to come from server licenses now as services. Not even mentioning Azure as a target, which is probably the best bet for keeping legacy apps running while transitioning/refactor/rewrite to new generations.
the main problem with "austerity" isn't the theoretical question of the spending levels, it is the political&social issue that practical "austerity" means that during bad times poor people must pay for the well connected and rich people's exuberance of the good times.

What Krugman and his ilk fail to address is capital misallocation. Placing capital into its most productive use is the definition of a well functioning market.

We tolerate market distortion for greater social good: safety regulations, environmental regulation, labor laws, etc.

Unfortunately, with QE1,2,twist,3 and ZIRP, we are now well past properly functioning capital markets.

At a gross scale, every single investment in the world now is actually a bet on central bankers keeping interest rates suppressed, liquidity flowing, and money printers running.

The trillions of dollars of distortion that capital markets have experienced since 2008 has fundamentally altered the investment landscape. And not for the better.

Krugman crowing about austerity is laughable. Of course, government spending is just another form of capital distortion. Sure, try some more. It'll be another drop in the bucket. It will not move the needle in a sustainable fashion.

Global demand is being vacuumed up by economies through competitive currency devaluation. Deficit spending (Krugman's argument) generates new demand in the hopes of creating jobs and nurturing the economy.

Unfortunately, since 2008, our global financial system is so radically distorted that a burst of demand isn't about to lift anybody out of long-term economic doldrums.

At the root of the problem is massive capital misallocation that has been baked in the cake. Global supply is so large due to QE and ZIRP that economies worldwide cannot support their investments.

Instead of market forces washing out the misallocated capital, we've entered into a global extend-and-pretend scheme. How and when this ends is anyone's guess.

Krugman doesn't get it.

Think of it a bit like a 3D REPL.

Working in the browser provides me, a single developer, a much faster route to a wide variety of other features (webcam, audio, webrtc) as well as cross-platform compatibility (for example, this same site works in WebVR builds of Chromium and Firefox for Android using a Google Cardboard-like setup).

With that as the baseline, I want to experiment in creating new user experiences that require VR, rather than adapting the same, ol' 2D UX to the stereo display.

One of those things might be live-editable objects. Having a text editor run in a texture is a necessary tool to start. Eventually, I'll be building more controls and features for being able to manipulate objects on the fly.
Providing dignity is enabling. And we could provide it long-term to everyone if we wanted.
The big Keynesian idea is that somehow gov't can allocate capital better than private businesses. But that patently cannot be true. (I never could understand how Keynesian economics is different from socialism.)
You're not accounting for splits with bussers, cooks, backoffice, and bar.
There's a lot of subjectivity, but it can be measured in an approximate but decent manner by using money. People in denser cities have more money on average. Property values in denser cities are much higher, which indicates that people prefer to live there than elsewhere, on average.
Spot on. I'd add that many minimum-wage jobs are good for retirees who often(?) don't need the money to eat and will drop their checks right back into the economy on hobbies and other entertainment.
Only core components and now a stripped down IDE are open source (core is actually free software IIRC). I will only be impressed if the entire runtime stack becomes open source. Otherwise it's still a platform for DRM or other forms of lockdown.

If you're not porting a .net application to MAC or Linux, I would avoid this for quite a while still. We don't know where this is going long term.
Yeah, this seems like it should be pretty straightforward (I'm sure it is harder than it seems, but still). Set a flag that persists through multiple reboots that says "after Windows loads, if there are updates, apply them and reboot, repeat, otherwise unset the flag".
How about in the U.S. in the past couple years[1]?

The problem with austerity as I see it is that it is a losing strategy if any other player doesn't adhere to it. Example - Economy A starts QE, Economy B sticks to austerity. Economy A gets super cheap money they have to invest somewhere, Economy B is short on money due to austerity. Economy A with the money out of thin air buys most of the industrial assets of Economy B. Economy B wants to change the course by rejecting austerity and starting QE. But the first mover advantage is gone, Economy A's stocks are already inflated so Economy B can't gain anything by trying to do the same as Economy A, buying Economy A's industrial assets, causing downfall of its trading currency.

My point was not that I can't afford to eat at McDonalds, but rather that it is a convenience purchase and eating at home is more cost conscious. If prices raise, which they will if wages go up, then more people will choose not to eat there and this will result in less jobs for the very people protesting the wages.
I'm hoping this is only while it's in development/beta?

This is amazing. I'm very curious how it works under the hood with the Android and iOS platforms. It wouldn't surprise me if it gets translated into MSIL. That's how I would do it at least.

Also curious what the limitations are. If this works as advertised the Windows Mobile store could go from mediocre to pretty awesome as long as they get tailored for the platform.
Traffic violations are, in most places, considered a general intent crime (versus specific intent). The bar for proving general intent is much, much lower than specific intent. The courts frequently hold that if you're driving the car, you are responsible for how fast you're going and where you end up. This makes the act of breaking a traffic law de facto intent. Only verifiable events outside of your control can get you off the hook consistently.

With respect to judges, you've got to remember that a traffic judge spends all day every day listening to people's excuses. "I got lost and took a wrong turn" is something they'll hear frequently in defense of tickets related to traffic control ordinances. In some jurisdictions, there are special administrative judges/magistrates who do exclusively this. They tend not to suffer fools.

I'm not saying that no one ever gets off on tickets like these, but if you look at the overturn rates for traffic violations, they're extremely low.
> That assumes you want to run the country/government like a business. I think that's a fairly large assumption.

The main difference between running a country and a business, is values and also means. Countries value certain qualitative indicators more than a typical business would (quality of life, crime, safety, etc...), and countries have more means to balance the books (things like printing money, ownership of resources, etc...).

Talking about money at small-business scale is more about simplifying the concepts, but to a certain degree, it applies.

People who browse HN should be some of the biggest advocates for this wage increase, as it's our efforts in automation that is creating such huge profit centers for these corporations. Yet instead of these profits being redistributed throughout the business they're being funneled into financial schemes to inflate stock prices.

The entire point of automation is to give the average person less work, yet the capture of the benefits has already begun by those at the top. Make no mistake, this fight will eventually end up on our doorstep as well, minimum wage increases are merely the first salvo. If we back down now we are only harming our future selves when this inane startup culture of "dedicate your every waking hour to making the VC's rich" becomes the defacto MO of tech. If neccessarily be completely selfish and realize that an increase in the minimum wage will directly cause an increase in your very own salary... if for the only reason that automating these more expensive jobs will become that much more valuable.

But even if that doesn't convince you, the economic argument is pretty simple. Minimum wage hasn't even kept up with inflation, much less cost of living in this country. You don't have to give a flying crap about someone's "lifestyle" to understand that creating a class of workers that will forever be trapped by poverty is inherently bad for anyone without enough capital squirreled away to live off the interest. If you want a healthy economy you can't have insane gaps between just the middle class and those earning the lowest wage (not even going into the gaps between higher earners).

At the very least you have to realize that your responsibility as a citizen of the US (sorry non-US people, we still like you!) is to other citizens, not the corporations.

Edit: I'll quickly address those arguing that the increase in wage will put certain businesses out of profitability: In startup land we have no sympathy for those who cannot raise/earn enough money to pay the costs for quality engineers, why should we have any sympathy for a business that cannot continue it's business model in the face of increasing it's lowest paid workers' wage? I've not infrequently seen blatant scorn towards those startups with terrible business models... let's not become advocates for MBAs who exhibit the same kind of ineptitude.

Facebook is building something they call React Native, which, as I understand it, lets you code an app using JavaScript and web stuff, but then it transforms all of that into native code that gets compiled to run on the various mobile operating systems. I think it's currently iOS-only. Facebook says they're already using it for multiple production apps, but I don't know which ones.

sure, maybe today. but this lays the groundwork for Swift to eventually come to Windows as well. seems naive to think that this wouldn't be their end goal.
In this case, I think they are re-using Electron as a wrapper for their editor combined with some of their existing efforts for a web based VS editor. In this case, I'd suspect they'll flush this out to be much closer to what VS offers as cross platform. I see a LOT of developers using macbooks, and fewer booting up windows to edit VS projects anymore.

This is to stay relevant and that effort won't change... of course they are a company and may not offer a lot of energy if there isn't uptake. My limited use of the new editor is actually a pretty positive so far. I'm going to give it a try for a week, already I like the UX more than sublimetext.
Works for me too .. but there's no top-level directory in the .zip file, make an empty directory before unzipping!

> I hope this would finally give the enough apps for Windows phone.

I agree; I bought a cheap-o Windows Phone to test and do development with. I'd love to use a Windows phone as my primary phone but 90% of the apps I use and need are nowhere to be found. If this can get them to bring them over, even if they don't tailer the experience it will hopefully still be good.
A small business can probably get by with using the streaming track API or the sample hose which is available to everyone. Not sure what an SMB would even do with the firehose.
Well, for that matter, stocks don't need to exist, either. We could go back to the medieval way of requiring all business enterprises to be fully funded by the founders personally. The problem is that greatly restricts the scope of what kinds of businesses can exist, since most interesting things for a business to do require a lot more capital than most people have or can raise.

There are many examples of failed derivatives instruments -- that is, derivatives instruments that once existed and no longer exist today because of lack of interest in using them. They performed an insufficiently useful economic role, so nobody traded them. Today, for example, there is an ongoing effort to list real estate futures, but there is little marketplace interest and they will probably be delisted within the next few years.

The derivatives that survived survive not from mere inertia, but because people (not some abstract "system," but real people) find them economically beneficial in some way.
Coreclr has a FreeBSD ci-build, so I'm not sure we should write it off yet ;)
"UDP" would have been a better name than "NoTCP". (Because non-TCP would also include ICMP, for example). Also, why not just go to IP, rather than UDP? Much more flexible than UDP and even more efficient.
Copyright assignments can preserve freedom if done properly; the FSF's copyright assignment, for example, guarantees that your contributions will always be Free (as in freedom). RMS' rationale in this case was to protect against a scenario in which FSF was overtaken/purchased, so GNU software couldn't be made proprietary.
I might not have given my thoughts full justice above: I think road functionality is a broad concept. I think that it should incorporate a wide array of interests, and not be a Robert Moses-esque, car focused philosophy. That being said, I think that things like neckdowns, pedestrian islands, re-striping and re-directioning of streets are "hard" measures that can be taken to improve functionality for cars, pedestrians (residents), and cyclists, all at the same time. Putting up "no thru traffic" signs is a token gesture, I would wager that these signs are only enforced in high income areas.

Tips are largely a red herring in discussions of minimum wage, since tipped workers always earn minimum wage regardless of whether they get any tips or not. This is true under US federal law, at least, though I haven't researched how it works under state laws for minimum wage.

Hey, glad you're listening to the show!

I think it's apparent that Microsoft has admitted the reality that the operating system just doesn't matter any more - and you're not going to make money there.

So it's all about services, and Azure is one of the sources of those services.
You're missing the point. It is in many ways better than Visual Studio because it's lightweight editor with a lot of the good stuff like a debugger, intellisense, refactoring, code navigation, etc.

This caters to people who want good cross-platform tools without all of the Visual Studio bloat.
The term "Data Lake" has been a rich source of puns and riffs at work. You can trawl through it for weeks without finding anything; it's polluted with industrial runoff; you can hide a body in it...
