Yeah, having worked with many mentally ill folks, I feel this is a pretty common thing. It's a lot to do with the stigma attached to the phrases. If you have depression, that's a disorder too... anywhere on the spectrum? Disorder. It's a word to indicate that you have a condition that affects your everyday life - where you take it from there is, of course, largely up to you.

Ah, if the reader is truly better quality than earlier ones, then of course "first fingerprint reader that consistently works" would be a definite step forward.

That being said: I didn't have the Atrix et al (my first fingerprint reader is on my S6, and Samsung didn't even pretend they weren't borrowing heavily from Apple with this phone's design), but from what I had read, it performed pretty consistently as well. Looking up a random review of its performance:

"The Atrix prompts you to set up the fingerprint reader by swiping your left and right index fingers over it, and also asks you to provide a back-up password in case you go into the witness-protection scheme and have your fingerprints erased. In our tests, the biometric sensor responded to a quick swipe from either finger, so we found it fun and convenient to use. It seemed secure enough too, denying access to all of the interlopers we roped into our tests."

so might be AS400, but few are trying to learn that I guess.

> Not in a language with decent abstraction capabilities.

My question has nothing to do with the language. You are adding a relatively advanced construct which requires a lot of prior knowledge to understand: Free monad, monad, applicative functor, functor, monoid. Then you need to understand the laws that monads must obey, which are not enforced by the type system. Before you get there, a passing grasp with Haskell and higher kinded types will help, and some basics in category theory too.

Saying that adding the free monad doesn't have any cost in understanding is very naïve. You forgot how long it took you to reach that understanding.
To the position that containerization is needless complexity for simple or non-scaling apps: one of the benefits of containers is it can create development environments which can be identical to your production environment(s); no matter what platform you're always running the same code, same artifacts, same images.

Virtualization does this too, but at great cost. I wish the kinks were better worked out at this point as well, and hope we start to converge around a few well-working patterns and toolsets. I expect it to happen. In the meantime it is chaos and easy to laugh at.

Can you be specific about what you mean by human scale?

Both temperature systems are in the same range. A yard and a meter are almost the same. A mile and a kilometer are in the same range. A pound and a kilogram are in the same range. Cup and liter are both about a factor of two away from a typical glass size. 5mL is about as easy as 'teaspoon' while being clearer and easier to divide into typical minimum recipe amounts.

> wicked fast and devoid of bugs

Having ported a lot of old fortran to modern fortran and C I wish that were the case. More often than not, that's the assumption but its rarely true. There are some great lower level libraries like that *packs. But for the most part the performance and bug-freeness of these codes is more dogma than reality. For instance, in MCNP (a large monte-carlo neutronics package) a coworker of mine replaced the 70s era handrolled FFT function (which looked like someone was trying to write assembly in fortran) with a modern libary for 500%+ performance gain.
"Preallocating memory is usually an opimization for throughput."

Still, 200kB is excessive. A program with buffers no larger than 10kB can _easily_ saturate a 1 Gbit/s NIC. Hitch is designed to handle many concurrent connections, so even if it handled a paltry 10 connections it could easily saturate a 10 Gbit/s NIC with 10kB buffers. If not, then there is a design flaw somewhere.

"Servers can have up to 1TB of ram without becoming overpriced"

This is irrelevant. If a Hitch version had a default overhead of 10kB per connection, it could in theory scale to 20x the number of connections than this version of Hitch, for a given amount of RAM (no matter the amount). Maximizing the use you get out of a given amount of hardware resources should be your priority when writing scalable software.

The theory is already validated (Mariner 10 used solar pressure for attitude control in the 1970s, and a Japanese mission successfully tested a solar sail in 2010 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKAROS - and it can be demonstrated in an Earthbound laboratory too).

Yes, it's viable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail
It's not necessarily one way. Think of it like a sailboat: wind blows in one direction (at a time) but you can still steer, change direction, speed up, slow down, etc. just by changing the angle of your sail and how tense or slack it is. You can even travel against the direction of the wind. This is the same concept - a sail in wind - except the wind is solar wind: a stream of photons. The difference being that in sailing, the resistance of the water plays a part. For solar sails, you can't do as many complicated maneuvers as with sailing on water, but you can still make adjustments beyond juts being pushed in a single direction.

Meanwhile, the last two web applications I've consulted on are now more than 12 years old, use SOAP and where written in Delphi.

They work surprisingly well to this day and despite being horrified upon hearing that this was what they were built on, I found them surprisingly well done.

I wonder what will still be running 12 years from now and what it will look like.
I agree that option 4 would explain the attraction of these devices. I guess I remain unconvinced that, while these gadgets may claim to "unlock option 4", they will actually deliver (yet again, excepting the immersion circulator). There's a lot more to cooking than simply getting the temperature right. I'm skeptical that a magic cooking gadget is going to make someone a half-decent cook for the same reason that I don't believe a magic golf club will make me a golfer: the reason I can't hit a golf ball is because my technique is pitiful.

Like I said, I'm not the target for stuff like this, but I am always on the lookout for neat gifts, which is why I'm trying to figure this stuff out.

You've downplayed option 3, but you've clearly got some motivation towards cooking. If I might suggest, have you considered watching/participating in a free cooking demonstration at the supermarket? In the past I've found them to be well done, and they use stuff available at the supermarket, so that lowers one barrier. Also, cooking classes make for a great date night.

Hey, another Triplebyte founder here. This is something we've talked a lot about. To set a balance, we talk to people about a project that they've worked on in the past, and also have them pick a problem from a list, and work on it with us over screenshare. I'm sorry this did not go well for you (I'm curious to look at our notes from your interview, but I don't know who you are).

We're focusing on being consistent and fair. I understand (and am sorry) that we mess up and miss good people. But looking exclusively at experience creates other opportunities for errors (I believe more opportunities). We don't require perfection on any of the problems. We're looking for process, and try to help people (for example, on both of the problems mentioned, we generally talk about good approaches before the person starts coding). But again, we definitely mess up. Sorry about that. We're trying to do it less as we improve the process.
One of the reasons legal immunity is being offered is because corporations are suspicious that the data will get used to enforce regulations, bring lawsuits or otherwise be a tool of legal pressure.

The Government in this case is willing to make a promise (who knows how well it will be kept) not to use the information for parallel construction or explicit enforcement. In turn they get to protect the business and American industries from cyber attacks and give the data for analysis and processing for whatever national security purposes the DoD deems necessary.

There are industries that are already onboarded - financial and energy. CISA would expand these to other industries.
From a business ethics and security sense, I'm on ADP's side here. However, this type of press (or awareness) from ADP customers' is what makes this move smart: https://twitter.com/AaronKlein/status/607051950928953344

Imagine Zenefits was simply a broker and your broker said to you "ADP just shut off my access to them so I can't use their service, how about we use XYZ instead?". As long as I trust my broker is providing value then it doesn't matter what payroll service I use. So, if Zenefits is confident people value their service above the service a payroll service provides, then they will most likely win in this case.
Is this a specific plan? The plans I know of with unlimited data in foreign countries are hardly 4G -- they might technically connect to 4G/LTE, but they are throttled to 128kbit/s. That's roughly equivalent to some of the 2G-3G transitional technology speeds. GPRS (2.5G) was 80kbit/s, EDGE (2.75G) was 2-3x that [0].

I am not sure why would you say that. The company has a big chunk of people working from remote locations all over the world, not only developers but also managers.

The fact that the possibility to work remotely is evaluated based on the candidate experience, the location (eg. cost to the team to meet in person), timezone, and the location of the rest of the team, does not mean hiring locally is a policy. It is completely up to the team with very few exceptions.

I really like this idea. I've been looking for something similar on iOS. I'm currently going back and forth between two solutions for daily + weekly goal tracking: (1) Coach.me (formerly Lift), which works well but has a bit different focus, and doesn't provide a ton of visualization; and (2) simple tasks on Google Calendars, which is okay on desktop, and not great on mobile, and not really suitable for goal tracking overall (understandably).

Something fully contained like Goalie but for iOS would be awesome.

But (and this is a thing I've been working on) do you really want your dev environment to be identical to your production environment? I think you don't.

As an example, suppose you use Go. Your dev environment is 500mb of compilers and toolchain. Your production environment is (hopefully) a container with a single static binary on it.

Often there's some tension between individual career development and what makes sense for the project and company.

Ideally, managers create opportunities for people to exercise the former in a sandbox (e.g. some variation of "20% time"), without YAGNI-ing up the project.

Sorry did I say sandbox? I meant container.
Yes they are.

I have always thought it would be a good idea to rationally take all the parts of religious and social societies and bring them together in a way that provides everything that religion provides without all the useless and bad ideas. Combine this with technology and you would have a hit.
The purpose of C/R isn't sandboxing, it has nothing to do with it. It's about managing internal state and data structures from an external agent.

C/R enables complete persistence by duplicating a process from its image, which can cut initialization and startup times by orders of magnitude, and resume service from an exact position with zero downtime, and not just basic mechanisms like socket superservers.

It lets you back up process state at any arbitrary moment, send it over the network, recalculate and reexec immediately and then thaw again for debugging it from that particular point.

It just helps enable live migrations and zero downtime recoordinations with far less complicated redundancy schemes. This includes containers. On top of it being a universal save/pause button.

Depending on the robustness of the image format, it can be made space efficient through deduplication.

C/R is quite invaluable for any scenario that involves fault tolerance, high response times, tracking down difficult bugs, low startup overhead and so on. I'm surprised why it's still such an obscure technique.

Besides, I don't think the primary use case here is even graphical apps (not that they don't work just fine). What you really want is a local indexed copy of all the execution environment details, like pipes, sockets, timers, ttys, timers, sigmasks, *fds, etc. for infrastructure.
Absolutely agree. I've had some work designing some really creative ad banners using just SMIL, self contained animated banners, all vector so responsive and hi dpi that you can throw anywhere in an img tag with some basic interactivity and gzipped to boot was a fantastic solution. Expected that IE couldn't be arsed to support it but severely disappointed chrome is dropping it.
Could we have a red button, which would be better for "activating" suggestions like increased energy, in addition to the blue button, best for "inhibiting" suggestions like pain relief?
Actually, solar wind carries about 1,000 times less momentum than sunlight itself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail#Solar_radiation_pres...

Solar sails mostly capture the momentum of sunlight, not the solar wind.

(Solar wind is the plasma of electrons, protons (hydrogen nuclei), and alpha particles (helium nuclei) that come off the sun.)
How does your point follow from the quote you supplied? Nobody ever claimed that anyone would be RICH by being "anything they wanted to be". There are probably more career options today that are within reach for people, but that doesn't mean a person can shut off their brain and blindly jump at an idea for fun. Following dreams is great, as long as you keep an eye out for consequences. If you want to work as a museum curator, by all means go for it, as long as you don't expect to be able to buy the same car, same house, and take the same vacations as someone who goes into a higher paying vocation.

The problems arise when people realize too late that "hey, I took out $100k in loans to go to college for a job that pays $35k". Unfortunately, in that situation it's going to mean a lifetime of living in smaller apartments, having crappier cars, fewer vacations, etc than someone who chose differently. And that's not necessarily a bad thing! If following a dream means more to this person than these things, that's great! But let's not pretend that "grow up to be anything you want to be" necessarily means "...and you can afford to pay for everything you dream also".

IKAROS, launched by JAXA in 2010, passed Venus six months later in is still accelerating (slowly; it's getting about 1mN of thrust). It's even steerable, by using LCD panels in the sails to change the albedo. It was last contacted early this year. IKAROS' sail is 20m diagonal, which makes it considerably larger than LightSail1.

Again you're back to what we've already established the web is ideal for. It's original intended purpose- simple document sharing. It's been doing this since the early 90s.

While sharing info on Wikipedia is great, where the web fails is competing with native apps. Other than sharing HTML text documents (and there are projects working to replace that too), it doesn't get chosen over native apps.

Also, I'd still say that you'd come a lot closer to being able to maintain a Gmail-style app on iOS, than you ever could on the web. As a 1 man operation. Plenty of people actually do personally maintain email native apps alone on mobile. But unless you go with basic HTML or little to no features, I don't think 1 person is keeping a web email client up to date for all browsers, all the time.

The reason you prefer using webapps on the desktop, is simply because that's where you are all day. At a desk. If you were in anything but a desk job, it'd be the complete opposite. It's not an issue of superiority, it's a matter of convenience. For most people, that convenience is flipped and the experience is equal or better. Which is why native apps are winning.
So in theory does this mean we could be writing native Android apps in Swift?
