If you could give everyone their own 'personal cloud', without having them become sysadmins, then it's possible (of course, that's not easy but it's also why it's a valuable goal). The work under Nymote has a longer term vision so not ready to help people just yet -- some more detail at http://nymote.org/blog/2015/brewing-miso-to-serve-nymote/

In this instance, I bet sandstorm.io could come up with a transition for Ninja Blocks users. I hope they think about it.

I don't see much benefit in martin fowler's example

<openSlotList>
<slot id = "1234" doctor = "mjones" start = "1400" end = "1450">
<link rel = "/linkrels/slot/book" uri = "/slots/1234"/>
</slot>
<slot id = "5678" doctor = "mjones" start = "1600" end = "1650">
<link rel = "/linkrels/slot/book" uri = "/slots/5678"/>
</slot>
</openSlotList>

Each slot now has a link element which contains a URI to tell us how to book an appointment.

Well, not really - we can only guess that by the fact that the link ends in "book".

We also don't know if we are supposed to GET, PUT, DELETE, POST.. or what data we are supposed to send to the url to actually make the booking.
I 'm starting to not take these people seriously. It seems to me like some libertarian billionaires do the equivalent of building dick-shaped towers in the arabian desert.

Not that I had a similar situation, but how to implement actions such as shuffle or draw and make them-resource like?

Personally, I think Excel models are overly relied upon (which pretty much amounts to the same thing).

Excel provides a great tool, my issue starts when too many Excel spreadsheets are being used to provide decision support, with little or no control / audit of the logic in these sheets.
So, Anko builds views up dynamically in Java only? Interesting - is there any stats on how much faster this actually is?
Yes, though few 8-bit CPUs supported 16-bit arithmetic. Most required two 8-bit operations with carry instead, an din that case there's no difference between little and big endianness - in both cases the LSB has to be calculated first.

The big endian 6809 supports 16-bit arithmetic, and is indeed punished for it: 16-bit ADD and SUB costs an extra cycle compared to a little endian design.

While Husqvarna Group have offices in Stockholm, they're actually based in the small Swedish town of Huskvarna (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husqvarna_Group).

Also, your first link is to a retailer, which seems to be a UK-based company called Autobotics. A bit confusing.

And yes, PTS is the proper agency to contact about radio interference issues. They're a government agency, they can prosecute offenders.

That's exactly the problem. The insightful videos on Microsoft's Channel 9 made it clear that they went crazy with Metrics since Windows XP. What they don't get or simply ignore are the huge user base of power users and developers that deactivate the "phone home metrics systems" in Windows XP and newer. That's why they introduced the Ribbons-menubar and Metro-/Modern-UI - they believed or tried what they wanted by using skewed statistics based on one-sided metrics.
I believe there are some products in this space. It might be made simpler by integrating dac/dsp and amplifier in the speakers (and the just stream lossless digital audio for playback) -- rather than try and adapt to traditional speakers. It might be the kind of thing that the radical commoditization and continued price drop in hw will make feasible.

Cinemas (and concert venues) do calibrate their sound, here's a sample link that touches on what's involved:

http://education.lenardaudio.com/en/17_cinema_7.html

I'm not sure a combined mic/speaker system makes much sense -- it would appear easier to just model what's important: how the sound sounds where the listener is -- which is typically anywhere other than on top of the speaker.

Model a human head w/ears, but mics in each -- and hook that up to a system that plays/records/compares audio. While dynamically adapting (noise-cancelling when there's construction next door, the garbage truck rolls by?) -- I'm not sure that makes much sense. We're used to acoustics changing a bit -- but having a half-decent base-line would probably be great.
It's a bit like VHS vs Blu-Ray IMO. I used to watch movies on tape and never be concerned about poor image quality. But now I'm used to high definition, going back and watching VHS is almost intolerable at first. You get used to what you have.

As for monitor color, try installing f.lux : https://justgetflux.com - it varies your color by time of day, so effectively your display is never the 'correct' color. But you won't notice it after a little use.

At 22, I went to work at Microsoft. When I tell young people that today, they look as if they are embarrassed for me. And I have to tell them, 'No, no — it was like getting hired at Google back then, or Facebook. This was 1993.

Who on earth is reacting like this?
Changes in the specs requires negotiation anyway if you have a contract with an upper time/cost value. Charging by the hour doesn't solve that, unless you have a no limit contract that puts more or less all the risk on the client.

This is very rare where I work.
If you're commissioning a new cruise ship perhaps. You can buy a few second hand cruise ships for a fraction of that cost.
I guess shuffles and draws should be their own resources, and you POST to it to do that action? You'd then keep a table of shuffle/draw events, which mutate the deck as a side effect.

Sometimes the cost of fixing bad work is actually greater than just doing it right when your mind is capable of it.

Also, I don't think software development is very comparable to writing a book. Unless you need to finish a book every day, your mistakes one day can easily be fixed the next.

In software, if your bad work on a project is committed to a place where it affects others, it may very well be too destructive to be worth it.
The problem with Go is that, while the language and compiler are excellent, Google doesn't a lot care about tooling & ecosystem. Why? They have their own in-house tooling (which is of course both highly specific to Google's use case and closed of for the public).

This in itself isn't bad, but the problem it causes is that the Googlers (who do not experience the pain that other users of the language do) are still the majority voice in any decision. Maybe not in numbers, but definitely in weight.

There have been a number of changes pushed through that make sense in Google's use case but not for general development use. Stuff like declaring a folder named "internal" special where it wasn't before.
Perfectly understandable in Google's internal uniform codebase, where nearly every package is understood and the world is small. Not a smart change to make a few years into the 1.0 compatibility freeze though, since you can bet that a lot (I even dare say a majority) of 'regular' developers won't know about this and might run into problems because of this at one point or another.

This is just a small example that I can recall out of the top of my head but my worry is that this is happening more often with a lot of features.

Counterarguments from Googlers are usually along the line of "Go has X contributors, only Y of which are Googlers", but that is not the full truth. The top 5 contributors are still employed by Google. If you read the golang-dev mailing list, especially when it comes to discussions about tooling and ecosystem, you'll see that the Googlers have an overwhelming voice and will not shy away from flat-out rejecting criticism to proposals that might be nice for Google's use case but cause ambiguity and complexity for other developers.

Having said that, I still love the language and design. I just whished they shied away from magic comments and half-baked solutions for dependency management.
Resource oriented and its implication of nouns as opposed to verbs doesn't have to equal CRUD. I can see a case for bending the nouns rule of thumb in this domain, for example I might have an api like so:

POST /decks : returns a url to a new deck
GET /decks/<id> : returns a deck
POST /decks/<id>/draw : returns a url to a card
POST /decks/<id>/shuffle : returns a url to the deck
GET /cards/<id> : returns a card drawn from a deck

The draw/shuffle verbs arguably could be implemented like this:

POST /cards : returns a url to a card (post body having deck id)
POST /shuffles : returns a url to the deck (post body having deck id)

The cards POST makes a lot of sense, now that I look at it I think I would use that interface. And you could argue that the shuffles resource makes sense as at some point you may want to record and share when someone shuffles the deck.
Internet Explorer 11 had that automatic updates too.

But it shows that Microsoft changes things that I may or may not want. They changed the "F12" Developer Tools in a significant way, basically completely replaced it with a completely new version with its positive and negative sides. And they introduced a "Search web" Bing search search box directly on the "New Tab" page that cannot be changed or removed. It also ignores the default search provider is DDG and not Bing.

I really liked IE since v4 and used it ever since Windows 95 with IE4 shell upgrade that made Win95 look like Win98. But the new Microsoft is the same as the old one, maybe even worse given their software as a service mentality. I won't upgrade to Edge/IE12 and maybe not even to Win10. Win7 is perfectly fine until 2022. And afterwards maybe we all use Android or a Web based OS like Chromium/FirefoxOS and Microsoft screwed up their Windows to irrelevancy/legacy.

When trying to pay (had some free credit before) they blocked my account and asked me to contact support to verify myself. The support person asked me if I can give them my fb or twitter account to verify myself. Kind of weird, but sure... I give them my fb, just to be told that my fb name doesn't match my CC name. Lol, I wouldn't give you my fb if I knew that's why you wanted it. And no, I cannot verify my CC name really, nobody has ever cared online in my whole life. I just gave up at this point and been using AWS ever since.
The O.P. appears to live in Demark and is concerened about interference to the German DCF77 signal on 77.5kHz from a buried-loop lawnmower control signal on approx 77.5KHz.

His Spectrum Analyser pictures are not much help. About all they prove is that his local DCF77 signal is very, very weak.

In order to investigate the problem, he needs to accurately measure the modulation type, bandwidth and the frequency of the Loop TX, and then analyse exactly how the interference is occuring.

Is the Lawnmower system genuinely overlapping in frequency with DCF77? Or does the Clock receiver have insufficient Selectivity to separate the two? Or is the Clock receiver being overloaded? Or is the local DCF77 signal just too weak?

It is critical that he use a resonant and shielded magnetic antenna to measure the DCF77 signal, so as to eliminate the electric-field rubbish his Spec-An is picking up. If he has simply used a random wire antenna, his spectrum plots will be pretty much meaningless.

Note-1. Being a buried loop, the Lawnmower antenna is designed to radiate only a Magnetic field (eg the earth shielding and the loop balance should suppress any EM waves). Either the loop is incorrectly installed, or the transmitter and feed lines are physically close to his DCF77 Clock, and/or the DCF77 signal is very weak.

Note-2. In the USA, the equivalent time signal is WWVB on 60KHz. It is possible that the Lawnmower system he has installed was intended for North America only, and is not authorised for use in Europe.

Note-3. I don't know what the Service Area of DCF77 is, but it is likely that it's signals will be very weak in Denmark. It is possible that he is simply outside the DCF77 service area.
Perry Rhodan is the serie my step father is addicted to. For almost thirty years I enjoyed reading the summary of what's going on in that epic opera pulp serialized piece of .. writings ? Or something. In the men's reading room of course.

I tried getting on the bandwagon when I was a teen, I read the first one and the ?th one (where we learn about Atlan) but there are way too many books to catch up with so I gave up.

I later discovered the germans where hundreds of books ahead of the french traduction so I googled it and found the whole cycle which is like 6 times the 150 books already translated. I am a bit sad my stepfather could die without reading the end.

I read the stories is a little bit shaped by real world social events (fall of the wall, cold war, hippies rise and fall, etc.) but I couldn't see it because reading a '73 book in 1999 makes it hard for a teen to see what is actually transposed in the book.

I can't comment on the S-F part though. From what I read it's really more like a low-key SF soap opera that is character driven (without much character development).

Nothing like `modern´ SF (Baxter, etc.). And not much science.
Which is probably exactly the reason why charging/paying by the hour is the default. Much easier to reason about, and much easier to measure.
Well people have kids all the time yet they come out more or less all the same. If you want to re-invent - go ahead and do it. Who knows, it might turn out great.
Agreed, I'd much rather see a $200 vs a $500 system (vs a $1000 system, vs a $10000 system...).

I'm not sure why anyone would invest something on the order of magnitude of the "expensive" system, and not get full-height electrostatic speakers or something (Not that I think it would be worth it then either...).

It would have been interesting to see what the result where if they'd simply given the testers blindfolds, and had two whole (or preferably three) set-ups -- where all the components where "matched" (eg: $100 system: integrated "boom box"/ speaker with integrated amp & ipod, $1000 system: speakers ~ $500/pair, amp $300, dac $200 etc).
I think this was a bad decision. I think you would agree as soon a tool emerges that follows your example and uses

to do stuff with the code, and makes the program fail because it's not done, because you don't know about it. with a #todo: bar the go tool chain would catch this error

Actually it's probably not "harmful interference".

The German DCF77 signals may not be considered a protected broadcast in Denmark. It is possible that the DCF77 signals are just too weak.

But yes, the Radio Licensing Authorities have incredible powers in most countries, but these only apply in cases of extreme danger, eg someone is jamming an aircraft channel in an emergency. In normal situations, they must apply for a search warrant as would other civilian authorities.

I also do not agree with that. This is bad for so many reasons. First, to the compiler code, comments should be discarded as soon as possible (often in the lexer). To the programmers, comments should never execute anything (this is just intuitively expected). To any go source code reader (human or machine), comments are supposed to contain only human readable text, probably a context sensitive explanation of that particular section of code. To the separation of concerns, comments are comments and compiler directives are compiler directives. To each his own.

This is probably the only decision I disagree with the Go team to date.
Most interesting response from Russ Cox:
"Where you see a hack I see an elegant design."

Elegant design...
I like my REST interfaces, but they only really fit CRUD-like situations. Sometimes, you will want to be less restful to optimize for some real world issue, most likely latency.

I suppose it is a bit like de-normalizing your database for performance.

For a situation like this, I would keep it as restful as practically possible. Since the shuffle mutates the state, it should be a post/put. Since it doesn't create a new resource,you could argue it should be put, but you don't have new data anyway, so the point is kind of moot.

I'd probably collect my custom verbs behind a common path to make it more clear, like

/api/decks/mydeckid/verbs/shuffle

Or to make it stand out more:

/api/decks/mydeckid?verb=shuffle

The response would use http error/success codes like any rest interface.
>At least, that's what happens if activities are used as intended.

Activities are indeed the piece of the framework I would be most eager to see removed/revamped.
I have seen many devs (even supposedly experienced ones) use/encourage to use patterns that lead to leaking the Activity context (like retaining everything, especially the UI).
There will always be people writing awful code, but Activities may too hard to grok for many devs (and that's not their only issue by far).

I like to call it "consolification" as it seems apparent to me that this is where MS is heading with their OS.

Not long and Xbox and Windows will be identical. And sadly, it will be the Xbox that has the dominant genes, UI wise at least.

It is all over their corporate speak, too. "Life time of device" when discussing the upgrade cycle of the OS... What is the life time of my PC that I built myself out of many different vendors offerings?

I, too am a bit worried that all this cloud business is getting more and more traction. When I saw the big warning "Not recommended" when trying to create a normal user account and not one of these windows online account deals I though "You can't be serious". Why would it not be recommended to use a local account which was the norm for so long? Unless they already plan many changes to the OS which would leave users with local accounts in the dust so better to try and convert as many people to our online accounts as possible, they must think.

Either way, I am in the process of building a new rig. The old one didn't even have an i3/5/7 CPU to let you know how long I've been using my current PC. And on this new PC, Windows7 Ultimate will be running the show and I will be watching from the outside over the next 5 years minimum how this Win10 business develops. From my point of view they have 5 years to do a lot of 180s and actually make a Windows11 which will take the under-the-hood advancements of Win8-10 and plug that into Windows7 so we can actually have that Windows7 improvement we all want.
