> (PowerShell is both non-substitutable and inferior.)

Powershell is certainly not a substitutable shell, but as a terminal emulator, what does it lack that you need as of Windows 10? My only real complaint is the lack of tabbed windows.

Though I am much more experienced with bash than Powershell, everything I've seen indicates that Powershell is anything but inferior. You have to learn new things (the built-in aliases help a little) but throwing around objects instead of text makes so many things less painful. SSH would be nice (I think the closest thing would be WinRM?) but that's coming now too.

I don't think everything needs to be Unix. Unix is great but it's showing its age.
This reminds me of District heating - they do use the benefits of thermal storage and economies of scale to cheaply create and store energy (for heating homes).

The issue with District heating is that in many places district heating companies are abusive monopolists with awful service. Here it is actually cheaper to warm the water on demand with grid electricity!

However, having the technology to allow individual households and businesses to benefit from water heaters as grid storage is very different - this also solves an economic/political issue.
Congrats on shipping, just wondering, what's the stack that this service is built on? Is it similar to this? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6790394
Can anybody explain why the function is "jsn_extract" instead of "json_extract"? I thought it was a typo at first...
Disclaimer: I'am an Indonesian.

If you can elaborate more specific about your skills, maybe i can help you more better than this.

> I currently living in Indonesia I cant start a offline business here cause it demands high budget; very low internet penetration, paypal did not support in my country(or any online payment) and bitcoin is hard to withdraw.

If your main problem is about $. You can use payoneer to have mastercard debit card. With payoneer you can receive money as freelancer from US companies or sell digital stuff on creative market etc.

> So now, i need a job(no tech job here) but i've no money to go to college

Again, it is depends on your skills. We are growing country, industry need our skills not otherwise. If you say that "no jobs tech here" you are completely wrong. If you are software engineer please take a look at a local startup like traveloka or tokopedia, they need you.
Exactly, we live in a de facto Corporatocracy, and this treaty is the biggest proof that democracy was pushed into the background long time ago.

At the moment, the European Parliament seems to be planning to accept ISDS: http://arstechnica.co.uk/tech-policy/2015/05/dirty-last-minu...

And yes, I do think we should be running around waving our hands, because when the treaty gets approved, it will be too late. "Faith" is the very last think I have in our political parties when they act with their backs turned to the people.
The last group does have to be frugal most likely. It's a very, very small number of high earners that manage to yield more than $1m in income - much less net that after taxes - and then do it multiple times.

There is a very high rotation on high income earners. They tend to ride temporary booms in whatever their specialty is (eg the real estate bubble days), and also peak out at a certain age bracket (their earning power peaks for only a few years out of a long career).

If you have this seven year peak earning power: $300k, $500k, $600k, $1m, $600k, $500k, $300k - you've yielded $3.8 million in earnings, paid a likely ~$1.5 million in total income related taxes, and have $2.3m left before life expenditures. You're 52 years old, and your earning power has peaked. You have $2.5 million in savings and investments. That has to last the rest of your life and retirement; you spend $10k per month in total life expenses, and have two children, and a decent house with a mortgage; your income will never be much higher than $300k again, and you're going to pay ~30% in income taxes on that.

That's closer to a normal scenario for a $1m earner, than the one where they just yield $1m per year for 20 years and never have a financial care in the world.
I've been programming in Ruby for years, and the inherent ambiguity proven by the complexity of the parser isn't made better by telling me I'm not thinking right.

Variables and methods are treated differently. I can't pass arguments to a variable, I can't even write foo(), but if it were a method I could. I can't treat variables like any other object because they have different rules applied.

The extremely limited "indexing" described by this MySQL documentation is absolutely supported by PostgreSQL's JSON type, and in fact has been for years now if you were willing to tolerate writing a couple lines of plv8 stored procedure. However, if you want the "actual indexing" (on arbitrary content, not just specific keys or lookup strategies) that PostgreSQL provides for JSONB on JSON columns, if you do a functional GiST index on a JSON column cast to a JSONB, you should find that PostgreSQL stores only the JSON but yet can index it "as if" it were JSONB. So, no: absolutely no benefit here.
Sorry to say that, but about:memory is useless to me. When memory runs low and system starts swapping (slowing down to a crawl) my first priority is to get computer running again, so I have to close firefox. That helps, but about:memory no longer has the data that would lead to the culprit.

Even if I could look at histotic data, the UI of about:memory is just plain awful. Charts anyone? My main question is how the consumption of memory for each tab is changing through time and I haven't found a nice way to see that yet.

Also, browser should protect me from pages which use too many resources. Why should some random page be able to stop my computer from working? I am seriously considering running firefox inside docker container just so I can limit its resources.

Note that I am a huge fan of ff and use it everywhere, but this has been a sore point for me for ages.
Whatever started it was not a smart idea. Humans have the ability to perceive depth from gradients and shadows very fast, it's dumb not to use it.
Have you read the essay "Metacrap: Putting the torch to seven straw-men of the meta-utopia" by Cory Doctorow? You may enjoy it: http://www.well.com/~doctorow/metacrap.htm

My favorite expression from it: "the lab-coated guardians of epistemology".

More fully: "In meta-utopia, the lab-coated guardians of epistemology sit down and rationally map out a hierarchy of ideas..."
Is it ethical to take a government subsidy intended for low- or no-income Americans if you have the savings to start a startup, and presumably the thought capital to be able to work for a real salary if it doesn't work out?
I wonder if our understanding of the universe will ultimately exceed our ability to reason about it. Complexity can increase without bound but our brain's capacity to understand and model isn't increasing at all. Maybe we should find some way to make smarter physicists.
Sound like sour grapes and No True Scotsman to me. The president, who is leading negotiations, was elected democratically, and Congress, who decides whether this treaty becomes law or not, was also elected democratically. If the people dislike how the government is doing things they have only themselves to blame for electing these representatives.

To be honest I don't believe anybody really cares about the ideals of democracy. If the same secrecy was being used to push legislation you supported you wouldn't be whining at all, you would probably be defending it instead because you would rationalize that passing the law is more important than the method used to pass it.
Atmoph Window – Your Room Can Be Anywhere
What does 'not designed to be exploratory' mean? How many scripting and shell languages have the introspection that comes with PowerShell, from .NET reflection to simple abstractions like 'Get-Member'? How common is a prescribed and thus simple to discover naming convention such as verb-noun?

I would love to see it in other ecosystems, and the prediction that PS could go open source, along with the recent open sourcing of .NET core and CoreCLR gives me hope.

Cheers!
I for one can't edit large programs - period - without IDEs. Refactoring is not optional once a program exceeds a certain size. A lot of problems that people try - usually unsuccessfully - to catch with tests simply don't occur with refactorings.

And I notice the same about Go programs that I used to have with python programs. They grow and grow, and beyond a certain size, the basic architecture "freezes" and no more changes are possible because nobody can fully grasp all consequences of edits.
That's not always a good argument to use

I'm not sure what he means by exploratory either.

I learned Powershell mostly from Get-Help. I can usually figure out where to look for a command based on the naming conventions - essentially (one of x verbs)-(one of x nouns). They aren't always fantastic, but for example, Select-String is a little more obvious than grep.

Indeed, democracy is flawed - IMO it's the least worst system we have a chance of implementing effectively and with relative stability. I may not want a particular group's opinions but I'm prepared to accept that system over others.

As for "0 understanding of capitalism in regards to society" - I'm using capitalism as a short form for "Western capitalism" which is epitomised by things which aren't truly "capitalism" per se.

Semantic niceties aside energy companies in my country regularly act against their long term interest as do most businesses. Indeed they usually only act in a way that might be termed moral to fulfil legal obligations and then they tend to find a way to subvert their obligations. But then as the rhetoric here often reminds us "companies are there solely to make profit", shareholders complain if they do anything beyond their obligations. Energy companies are looking at their own goals and not societies needs.

As for 3 ... I'll confess now I didn't read the NYT article [I just assumed it was the same content as has been doing the rounds in the last couple of months - very similar to what's happening with TPP], I've been following TTIP since I learnt about it from ex-colleagues in the IPR community about 18 months ago. 38degrees started their campaign about 14 months ago IIRC. I'm the first to admit I'm ill informed on it, but that's almost the whole point - negotiations and details of the direction and end goal are hidden and actively kept secret even from representatives. There's no way for me to be completely informed. Representative democracy can't work if the representatives aren't even allowed to access the knowledge needed to make decisions for the people and it fails to be democratic when the people aren't able to see if those representatives are acting in their own interest or in the interests of the people they deign to represent.
I don't understand why that is an actually.

The financial reporting regulations surrounding structuring are pretty specific, it really isn't the sort of thing you would use as a salvo in a war to inspect everything.

That's because reality mixes them. If it was just a case of professional sports ruining a few hundred lives for entertainment like in the decadent years of the Roman Empire, well that would be bad but on the basis of sheer numbers it would be small potatoes compared to things like a million deaths a year from road accidents or the major powers treating Syria and Ukraine like puppies fighting over chew toys, so I probably wouldn't bother to comment. But it's creeping into the general culture. For example: how many Americans have played football at least for a while in school? Now consider that everyone who plays American football suffers irreversible brain damage, and the total harm becomes substantial even on the scale of bad things happening in the world at large.
That essay isn't very convincing. All of his examples of logical failures would only work with the most poorly defined ontology and the most brain dead reasoner, which is probably why he described everything using the term "syllogism". For example:

US citizens are people
The First Amendment covers the rights of US citizens
Nike is protected by the First Amendment

He then goes on to say that one would conclude that Nike, being a person, has kidneys according to some medical database. First, the ontology: why would you join a medical ontology on "person", instead of something more rational like "human" (you know you're going to have medical data for animals as well)? Second, logical failure: the second statement is not one of exclusivity, you cannot actually link the third statement to the prior two.

I'm sure this guy is very clever, and has plenty of great qualities - but he has built his argument around the failure of logic, when it is clear that he doesn't know very much about it. The use of very poorly defined terms makes it look like he is aware of this...

This is a culture clash. With your sensibilities, if you went along with the servant perquisite, you would likely treat them far, far better than many others, and give them and their family a path out of of their socioeconomic class. Also, nothing prevents you from adding to their pay beyond what your company pays, and including their children with your children's activities, or even education.

I've got a terminal degree in math and have been working in industry doing math for 15 years now as a consumer of mathematical research in a huge variety of fields and I have never once needed or wanted to care about foundational issues.
Yeah, all I could think of while skimming the spec was "Those who do not learn from XML are doomed to repeat it".

Still, this was a great wrap-up discussion, and the specification is easy to read, which is an achievement in its own right and should be recognized.
sort of, except there's still a problem of building things people ask for vs building things paying customers ask for. And until you've got paying customers, everyone is a potential paying customer, and trying to discern what specifics to build to get the payments coming in... it's difficult. Not impossible, certainly, but it also gets very easy for people to dismiss good input from potential customers by saying it's not part of the "vision". There's a tough balance to strike there, and it's been compounded (imo) by half the founders out there thinking they're steve jobs, and focusing on their own vision of things above all else.

I'm heartened by this autopsy.io site, hoping it grows, as it can be a place where failure can be reviewed and lessons can be learned, directly from the horses' mouths, so to speak. Failure gets swept under the rug too much, and I think we're seeing a bit of shifting in that area, to start acknowledging it publicly.

I have met 2 of the founders in this list personally, and was a bit surprised by the stories - not entirely, there's nothing earth-shattering in the details - but still surprised to see the shutdowns.
That's not democracy. That's doublespeak. The US's "Founding Fathers" hated democracy and stressed it was a republic. Those slaveowners wanted to protect minorities against majority rule — the wealthy minority. (Obviously they didn't mean African Americans and women.)

Later politicians coopted the term "democracy", as marketing. One source to learn more is Graeber's "The Democracy Project". (http://lareviewofbooks.org/review/democracy-what-is-it-good-...)

Pushing a button every few years for your new corporate-sponsored king isn't meaningful democratic participation.

To make lucian1900's comment 100% clear: what MySQL is talking about was not just possible but not that difficult to do with PostgreSQL years ago (via plv8), has always been possible on PostgreSQL with only slight ingenuity required (give me a copy of PostgreSQL from ten years ago and with a couple lines of plpython I will show you efficient range queries of keys from columns of JSON stored as TEXT), and has now for a while been "trivial" due to the addition of native JSON access functions. PostgreSQL has had functional indexes since essentially forever: MySQL seems to have only been given a way to simulate this feature two months ago, by the same people who are working on this JSON support. The real question you should be asking is the opposite: how MySQL handles indexing arbitrary JSON content, and the answer is that given how it is only just as of two months ago capable of indexing limited JSON content, the answer is that MySQL has nothing to say on this matter: PostgreSQL has spent decades pushing the boundary on index technology, while MySQL was trying to make multi-master replication possible (the one use case people have where MySQL seems to ever make sense; though it still isn't clear that this form of replication is theoretically sound :/).
Only an ACM member would claim they're still relevant.

It depends in what context you look at it. If we are talking economics, using "consumers" to talk about an economic agent in a transaction is not demeaning. But in the general case, I agree with you.

There's nothing unnatural about yielding a return on an investment.

The greatest contributor to wealth inequality in the last 40 years is the Federal Reserve debasing the currency that the middle class depends on (and since ~1970, they've been doing it at a very rapid clip). If your wages go up 2% per year, and inflation averages 3% per year, over 30 years your standard of living is going to get nuked. The super rich can manage inflation by shifting assets, everyone else cannot.
he actually admitted in the comments that the title was clickbait. the value of the article for me was the insight into the inner workings of the W3C.
Then it should be especially easy to cite a source wherein the US sponsored a propaganda outfit that made up fake people who invited events out of whole cloth and posted them to sites for a US audience.

Because that is what this story says is happening in Russia. So much so that when Adrian Chen went to Russia to interview people, the Russian propaganda factory set up him with an interview with a neo-Nazi and then ran stories about Chen's neo-Nazi sympathies. Think about that: a Russian news outlet had a neo-Nazi on the payroll to set Chen up with.

Yes, OP's article is talking about bubble-universes, the lesswrong article is talking about the Many Worlds Interpretation. I think parent comment is talking about MWI as well.
Maybe once you get to the top 4 teams you could argue it's random, but the Knicks for example did not have enough talent this year to even make the playoffs. Random would imply that any team could win, but that's simply not true. The 7 game format also helps to remove luck from the equation. Luck still matters, but getting lucky over and over to win 4/7 games means better talent likely won.

Most of those elections, at least in the US, are arranged to be a choice between two bad candidates with relatively small (even if sometimes important) differences. That's not a real choice and the fact that one of them won shouldn't be construed as approval.

I would perceive myself as having done something slightly amiss in raising my kid if they asked me to fund their spring break trip to Mexico. My folks only ever funded my spring break stuff if I was doing something with them. Not the worst thing, since it basically made it so I had to spend spring break with my family, or camping. (Had some great spring break camping trips as a result, though.)
Add to that the level of increased communication and strategy available via internet and especially sites like youtube. Now everyone has the tools and info to tell which strategy is the best, at lower levels you're often better suited to just follow the exact steps someone else used and you'll win, but that's boring. Not doing it implies always losing however.
