Agile development and pluralistic management: why Scrum fails
More than anything, I wanted to see an example project powered by MinoHubs. If you do this right, most of your growth will come from other MinoHub powered projects. People wanting what they see elsewhere.

http://cl.ly/image/0G0N0N1b3I2S

You have so many features. It's going to take me too long to sell myself on the project and I don't want to commit to that time effort unless I know what I'm going to get in the end.

There's also no clear NEXT THING YOU SHOULD DO on that edit page. I saw this eventually, but that's probably not the next most important thing.

http://cl.ly/image/1s2x3h2W3p1e

What drew my eye was the giant warning. When you show warnings like this...be sure to give me a clear call to action to take steps to removing it.

http://cl.ly/image/1H2p0s0o0201

Since that message faces the owner's users, maybe a link can be clicked to message the owner that they need to still connect a repository. That being said, I saw that from the editor view. That copy should probably say something different.

Also, it would be great to have some obvious links that say...okay, go share this page. Or here's the URL of the page when the page is done.

Solid start, though. Your goal should be that the secret weapon for successful software projects is using MinoHubs. Definition of success for a software project? That might be the tricky part. Whatever you decide, drive people to that. Thanks for sharing!

You make great points. We'll publish such a blog post, but the gist is this:

SimpleFIN Bridge is a "bridge" between where we are today (no banks implement SimpleFIN) to where we want to be (every bank implements SimpleFIN). It costs money because of the ridiculous work involved to map all banks to a common API. Once banks do it themselves, then the Bridge goes away.

Previous versions of the page included: "The goal of this service is to not exist."
I think one crucial difference between buying a house and an index fund is people are usually highly leveraged when they buy a house.
Example.
Assume you
1. Buy house and put down 100k for 500k house.
2. Buy 100k of stock.
3. Both assets drop 20%

Your stock will have lost 20% of it's value and you'll have lost 20k and 20% of your investment in the index fund.
Your house will have lost 20% of its value and now at 400k, you've lost 100k of net-worth and 100% of your investment in your house.
Want to take a swing at that yourself? I did do some google searches for the phrase in question, and other people have used it online (though I admit all the citations I found in my cursory search date to after Anathem, though that is no guarantee that they are aping it.)
Kudos for having constexpr in this release. In the previous post said that constexpr wouldn't be completely ready in 2015. Great to see that wasn't the case after all!

It embarrasses me that less physical effort grants me a more valuable reward. This probably just reflects my laborer upbringing.

I put together a few lines today that automates a 5-minute process. Across the scope of a few thousand servers, this obviates about 6.25 weeks of labor. It really does feel magical.
It's much older than that. See

The distinction between futures and promises in the wikipedia article matches Scala's terminology exactly.
Agreed! It is a work of beauty, sadly it dwarfed the content.
I dealt with it by specializing on the C#-Windows platform. Allows me to hold 5x the language trivia I would able to hold if I worked on 5 different languages and platforms :P.

It's easier in the .NET world because a lot of shops for better or worse go pure Microsoft so there is a standard set of technologies and accompanying trivia you can learn. Unfortunately you won't get to work with best of breed products, but the upside is you'll get to familiarize yourself with enough technologies that you can get up and running fairly quickly.

Language : C#
Database : Sql Server
ORM : Entity Framework
IDE : Visual Studio + Resharper
Client Side UI : WPF
Web Server : IIS
Web : Asp.net MVC/Classic etc...
Client OS : Windows
Server OS : Windows
Development OS : Windows
Cloud : Azure
Logging : NLog or Log4Net
Code Generation : T4
Source Control : TFS
Build Server : TFS
Unit Testing : MSTest
Build language : MSBuild
Deployment : Wix or ClickOnce
Mocking Framework : Moq or Fakes
etc...

(This list is ignoring many of the different technologies that have been discarded by Microsoft such as winforms, COM, VB6, etc..)
Tangentially related because it's mentioned in the article:

>Gillespie noted that Forrest "more than threw the book" at Ulbricht by giving him a life sentence, which was a punishment "beyond even what prosecutors...asked for."

https://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/266723681?access_key=key-8...

>Given the enormous quantities of drugs sold on Silk Road, in combination with other
aggravating factors, Ulbricht’s recommended sentence under the
United States Sentencing Guidelines is life imprisonment, with a 20-year mandatory minimum due to his conviction for engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Section
848. The Probation Office, too, recommends life imprisonment, finding “no factors that could overcome the severity of the instant offense.”
(PSR at 38). As set forth below, in light of the seriousness of the offense and the need for general deterrence, the Government believes that a lengthy sentence, one substantially above the mandatory minimum, is appropriate in this case.

You could sort of read that as saying they recommended a life sentence.
So it's just about the address space? SHA 512 would be fine / sufficiently unlikely to collide in real life?

It used to, but it's nowhere near as correspondent with modern architectures that incorporate SIMD/SSE, complicated branching and pipelining strategies, SMT and so on. Nowadays C is a register machine model of its own, with plenty of gotchas and UB that are quite specific to it.

The spec isn't terse for a reason.
Maybe, but testing does not prevent all bugs and what happens once bisecting is needed still needs to be considered.
True, but most browsers beside IE already support this, and people should be getting used to different kinds of scroll bars, from various apps to programs which doesn't use the system scroll bar.
The 7 most-severe bugs were specifically related to reading/writing the wrong place in memory. These are impossible bugs to have in managed-memory environments.

It is absolute madness to use C or C++ in a security-critical system.

Advising rebasing over explicit merges is dangerous and foolish. Rebasing does have its place, but you really need to know what you're doing.

Also, I don't see his point about that messy history. I can see exactly what happened in that history (though the branch names could have been more informative). With multiple people working on the same project, feature branches will save your sanity when you need to do a release, and one feature turns out to not be ready.
There most certainly are. But like technical standards, they're a dime a dozen.
Thanks Kevin! We really appreciate the feedback.
Note that the proposal you linked is solving a different (albeit related) problem compared to what I discuss in the article.

That proposal is about formatting the JS-implementation of Java/Clojure/etc specific objects/types at the source-level.

The article is discussing how to even locate a binding's value. The more aggressive your compiler, and the further your source language from JS, the more this becomes a problem that needs solving. However, this is also a problem for people that simply need to debug minified JS and don't want to figure out which source-level variable "aB" refers to, or struggle to figure out that some other source-level constant variable was inlined and can't be inspected by the debugger anymore.

Neither of the two solutions need to block progress on the other. Neither of the two wholly fixes the other's problem, either.

I have never heard of that a so called "employee handbook" and the company I work for is still a pretty civil place. I wonder how we manage that?
Futures in Scala are composable, so this becomes:

val upload = for {
p <- Future(setPerms(private))
u <- Future(uploadPhoto(photo))
} yield u

upload onComplete {
case Success(uploadStatus) => // do stuff
case Failure(why) => // do stuff
}

These will not happen concurrently unless the futures are declared outside of the for comprehension.
This is awesome! I think faceindex and facepad are my new favorite parameters. Is there a reason you decided to make faceindex not zero-based?

when you look at the PR in github it doesn't look obvious that some of the commits are bad?
I understand weakening of a mark, but nowhere in trademark law does it say "you can sue over uses of your mark that threaten to make it generic". The law only says something like "if people use your mark to sell their product and you do not sue, then you might lose your mark".
Agreed, most people hear "rewrite history" and immediately assume "public history".

Rebase is a part of code review. If someone spots a typo and a "fix typo" commit follows it up as happens for a good proportion of GitHub model projects, I cringe. This information is uttery useless to the projects history, and should be rebased as a fixup. Only once code review is done, should a commit be considered for merge. It's at this point that rewriting becomes a problem.

I think most people forgot where Git came from, git is designed from the ground up for this! When someone emails a series of patches to the kernel mailing list for review, they iterate that series of commits over and over until its ready. They don't keep adding new patches on top like the Pull Request model proposed by GitHub/GitLab etc do.
Yeah, I'm confused as to why they need judges as well, but it's how they do it...

I apologize, my comment was too vague. My complaint is that when the connection between the Maxwell equations and Clifford algebras is first raised, there is an accompanying picture that shows the cross product in explicit coordinates.
Great thank you, we really want to grow organically first.

I think you're absolutely right, no items, no users that can rent. Our main focus is to grow the database of items available, funny enough, our color is orange because we started as tools only, orange triggers a tool like feeling (thanks to home depot) ... We did think about broadening the categories to anything at your house, but focusing on a couple of local communities. Shouldn't make a difference if you're listing a chair or a hammer, the thing is we want to make you list something at your house.

Thanks for the feedback!!
That makes sense. Thank you for your thoughtful reply.
It's not confusing, maybe it's not suited for your particular case, as any other tool. There's no magic tool/process/etc that does it all for everybody.

GitFlow has been working great for us. A team of 15 developers, working with feature branches, we have our CircleCI configured to automatically deploy the "develop" branch to our "QA environment", and our "master" branch to "production" environment.

The "hotfix" and "release" are proven to be useful to us too; we just need to have effective communication with our team, so everybody rebase their feature branch after a merge in our main branches.
Both Uber and Airbnb violated the laws set forth by the cities and states. The advantage for both startups was that the laws only extended to a city or state. So both still had 100s of other cities and dozens of other states, that were slow to react, to target and gain traction and turn this into "Principal vs facilitator" and "consumer-benefit" issues. When you are running afoul with a federal law, you are losing the whole country with very little recourse unless you have a war chest.

BTW, SHX would have been fine if they stayed under the radar for a while until they had a war chest to hire lawyers to argue and work with SEC to come up with a suitable compromise. See the example of Lending Club and Prosper that were shutdown by SEC in 2008/2009. Both emerged from it because they already had traction and enough of war chest to hire securities lawyers to work with SEC. Now Lending Club is a $5+ billion public company.
Yes. In fact, the usual mechanism for doing so is referred to as tag dispatch. For example, an algorithm can take an arbitrary Iterator type, and select between a correct-but-slow algorithm for weak iterators like forward iterators, and a fast algorithm for strong iterators like random-access iterators. The easiest way to achieve this is to call a helper function and pass a tag object whose type is iterator_traits<Iterator>::iterator_category, which might be forward_iterator_tag or random_access_iterator_tag. The helper function is then overloaded on those tags, achieving the effect of a compile-time if. Everything optimizes away (the compiler is very good at noticing do-nothing tag objects).

Expression SFINAE offers the ability to detect more properties of things, like is_callable or has_member_function_meow. This can then be used in tag dispatch, or other mechanisms (SFINAE can be used directly to dispatch, but it's a more lengthy explanation).

Fire OS 5 Developer Preview Released
Are there procedural hurdles for the reasonably local hospitals to automatically get copies of any emergency EKG being done in the region?

There would clearly be some concerns with making sure that the right data was matched up with the right patient, I'm just wondering about how the technology could work, and what the more subtle issues might be.
Good idea. But what I should do is write a script that in addition to that puts and indicator so I know which posts the HN readership has decided my feeble little mind needs to be spared from lest I too start having unpopular opinions.

Which is too late by now anyway, since I have tons of them.

Yup. Documentation is in the works, I promise! For Soundpipe AND each individual module. I'm planning on HTML documentation as well as man page documentation.

In the meantime, I think most of Soundpipe can be grasped by looking at a few examples as well as m/base.c and m/base.h.
> In my system, we used to have to upload the EKG to the computer and then "e-fax" it from he computer to the Emergency Department -- practically, this took 3-4 minutes to do, and when you're in an urban area and nearly always < 10 minutes from the hospital, its not the most productive use of time.

Those steps could be automated. And since this would usually be life-threatened situations, they should be automated. I wonder how much HIPAA rules complicate the technology; they certainly don't make the space attractive or fun to work in. This sounds like a great disruption for a startup to make, if they can deal with HIPAA effectively.

I interviewed for Physio, but turned down their offer due to mandatory drug testing. They seemed to be really, really locked down due to regulations, and I suppose I do want the regulations on defibrillators to be fairly strict.

Asking RNNs+LTSMs: What Would Mozart Write?
I know you probably wrote your post in good faith, and you appear sympathetic to the posts you've replied to in this subthread.

I can see how you would jump to the assumption that there is something "wrong" in the person's life, as this is a universal reference point;
Something bad happens in your life, and you feel bad about it.

But the fact is that most mental illnesses generally aren't a results of anything like what you've described.

There's no meaning behind them, and they're not rational - which is one of the reasons why they are described as illnesses.

This, in addition to severity, is some of the difference between an anxiety disorder and an anxious mood.

So the assumption made is basically dependent on your healthy perspective, and does not take into account the experience of people affected by mental illness.

If you really don't know much about mental illnesses (as you say in your post) I urge you to try to read up, as ignorance and stigma (which is to some extent a result of the former) are huge problems, even though mental illness is very common and affects around 20% of people, depending in the source (NIMH says 18.6 percent of all U.S. adults had a mental illness the previous year in 2012 [0]).

There is actually a 7-dimensional "cross-product" (-esque operation): https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Seven-dimensional_cross_prod...

The relationship between Quaternions and the 3-dimensional cross-product corresponds to the relationship between the octonions and this 7-dimensional cross-product. Normed Division Algebras are a fascinating and worthwhile subject to look into.
Atom runs as a Web app in Electron (formerly atom-shell), which is basically a stripped-down version of the Chromium browser combined with Node.js and some additions to ease interop between the Web app and the host OS.

Npm uses Web protocols (HTTP, maybe JSON-RPC) to communicate with repository servers.

This is not saying that there aren't any non-web applications using Node.js, just that web-related applications using Node.js are quite numerous and popular.

Personally I know of Node.js applications and libraries targeting robotics, computer vision, language analysis, neural networks and more. Like any powerful platform, much of this relies on the ability of Node.js to interface with external libraries, which it does using wrappers built with node-gyp.
this is a nice service.

Start by talking to your potential users directly and manually going through it with them side by side. You'll learn from what it takes to do it in person and hopefully you'll incorporate that into the site through that process.

My bet is that this is going to be the kind of thing that will tend to grow by outbound processes faster than through inbound DIY signups.

Are you suggesting changing the client IP address between every request for every asset in a web page? Technically doable, but unbearably impractical. The new TCP handshakes, the new TLS negotiations ...
I'm not sure how to approach the topic, but there is competition between hospitals. They are ultimately forced to be businesses and have bottom lines.
Usually moral standards unlike technical standards are shrouded in lies in hypocrisy.
My rule of thumb is that rewriting shared history is always, always bad. There may be situations where the proper precautions can mitigate the risk, but I've never seen a good example where it's actually a completely good idea without downsides.

This isn't really my area of expertise - we have people at the company dedicated to studying this kind of thing in far more detail than I know how, who may end up reading this - hi! - so I don't want to speak out of turn.

But in my experience there's a lot of variation - things like this interactive aren't as tied to the news cycle as many articles are, so it won't peak as high but may make up for it in longer term traffic.
It was a close call, but we got it done just in time. (It took a month and a half to constexprize the STL. I went through 84 shelveset revisions, which would be like feature branch checkins in git, and that's not counting the numerous compiler fixes that Tanveer, our front-end dev working on constexpr, checked in.)

There is some funny math going on here. You are comparing single use consumables against multi use consumables. I can use a water filter for a few months before I need to replace it. The equivalent amount of k-cups (a few months worth) would be in the $100's (at least at the rate that I drink coffee). Additionally, most people probably buy bulk boxes of k-cups (in the $40 range), so the psychological argument isn't particularly valid (at least when comparing to the cost of the equipment price).
