Part 1 discussed last week on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9724990

The comments here and on the blog raised a few interesting questions:

- small route suboptimality problems, probably arising from integer input rounding for the Concorde solver

- optimizing for Euclidean/Geodesic distance vs drivable route distance

Both seem to be addressed here and it's interesting to compare how the solution changes when prioritizing raw distance vs driving distance vs driving time.

I figured since it hit #2 on HN last week people would enjoy the follow-up.

Ask HN: What are some examples of great inspirational (non-religious) reading?
I recently had a faith crisis and no longer get the same inspiration from reading religious material. When I was religious I would get satisfaction in reading scriptures everyday but now that I'm not I'd still like to find a lot of good inspirational stories that I can read on a daily basis. While I don't like to idolize "heroes", I really do enjoy (true) stories where people fought against tough odds to do something amazing. One example is the Homerun episode from This Developer's Life podcast where Dan Bricklin changes the world after creating the first spreadsheet program.

What are some more examples of great inspirational (non-religious) stories?

Another great summary, with a nice visual overview of the evolution is by Aviad Ezra[1]. He summarizes an excellent paper by Mike Potel[2] , that introduces the original MVP pattern.
Potel's paper convinced me that classic MVC is almost never applicable in today's "Widget"/"Component" UI paradigms. Perhaps video games where direct control of user input is a first class concept is a place where classic MVC still works.

The separation between the View and ViewModel was introduced to increase the testability of the UI without involving a usually hard-to-test UI framework.

Question:
Are there any MVPVM SPA frameworks? The closest I can think of is Backbone.Marionette.

I get the impression that most ISPs are not really interested in disrupting personal piracy habits if that's what their customers want.
It's all about tone. "Broken" and "Byzantine" are not words you use when you're giving constructive feedback.

Some businesses (people) will deflect your negativity and work to find your message. Others will argue back. Most will ignore you. All would be happier if you'd chill out, or go away.

When you show that you're not going away, and not going to get nicer, some businesses will fire you as a customer. I think that's all that happened here.
I once had a college professor say something like, "Don't criticize a language for what it can't do, rather look at what it does well."

He explained this by saying that most languages were designed for a specific purpose, and tradeoffs are always made that cause some parts of a language to be bad at certain tasks.

Not sure if this is universally true, but I felt it was sound reasoning.
It is perfectly possible to stand on it if it is powered. The same you can stand on a Segway: As long as it moves itself under your center of gravity when tilting. That would then also be the steering.

> Clojure syntax is s-expressions

That can't be the case. Clojure provides 'special forms' and has macros. All those add syntax to the language.

The syntax of Clojure s-expressions is just that: the syntax of Clojure s-expressions - but not the syntax of the Clojure language.

The Clojure site says:

http://clojure.org/special_forms

The syntax for function definitions becomes the following:

(fn name? [params* ] condition-map? exprs*)
(fn name? ([params* ] condition-map? exprs*)+)

Read the word syntax? See the EBNF like syntax descriptions with star, question mark and plus syntax operators? See parentheses structure with [] and () in the second example?

star -> zero or more expressions

plus -> one or more expressions

question mark -> one optional expression

That's syntax. It describes the structure of s-expressions which form valid Clojure code.

Not all Clojure s-expressions are valid Clojure code. There are lots of syntactic restrictions. See the syntax for 'fn' above for an example.

> your own private definition notwithstanding.

You may want to take over the Clojure.org site to follow your own, private, definition of Clojure syntax. Personally I prefer the usual definition of Clojure syntax, as for example shown on Clojure.org .

Claiming that Clojure only has s-expressions as syntax is thus wrong and misleading.

To be honest it really should be part of the NSA remit to spy on as many world leaders as possible (friend or foe) I expect GCHQ & whatever the French equivalent is to be doing exactly the same.

I'd be very surprised if GCHQ weren't at least trying to spy on the US president and NSA weren't doing the same to the UK prime minister whenever possible. I'd guess security committee members would also be spied upon as well.

I don't know how far they would go though in terms of breaking and entering to plant bugs etc but they've only got to make look it's a hostile powers work to get away with it.

It's probably only the difficulty of the denials if they get caught that would affect the likelihood of five eyes members spying on each other.

Given the French supposedly bugged Concorde it's seems a bit rich of them to complain.
A big problem I have with every law like this is how inherently inconstant and big business favored its enforcement is.

Say for example that you are a content developer and finds that illegal copies are sold on ebay. You ask them to take down one seller only to find new ones every day, and thus you go to the police and ask them to block ebay.

I doubt the person will ever get a day in court. There could be thousands of illegal copies listed each day and yet the political nature of blocking laws means that enforcement is depended on who does the accusation and whom the accused is.

That much should be clear, my (unfortunately) implicit question is: how can we instruct a machine to optimize for the very intangible things everybody seems to love so much about this chalk? What about the more subtle economic things (like signals of economic climate and value of quality).
...and because so few people apparently realise that's Slack's value is in the quality execution, which can be copied by a decent team (but takes a phenomenal team to beat).
I think I agree with you. The world seems overcrowded to me. I've never been much of an out of doors person but sometimes I'd just like to get away from it all. That seems difficult these days. Anywhere you go in the US it seems like the land is either privately owned or government owned with tons of regulations that nobody really wants to deal with. Those regulations are probably at least somewhat needed because without them the sheer number of people visiting government lands would probably do great damage. Anything above about 1 billion people on this planet seems probably suboptimal to me.

Doc: Roads? Where we are going we do need magnetized roads.
As I said earlier, apple made a new market, and is charging for access to it.

There is value in the marketplace they've created. They've collected a lot of users and given them an easy way to pay. Their market is expensive to maintain - their rules mean that applications are safe enough to install without thinking twice. There is essentially no iOS malware.

It's somewhat like complaining about the right of console manufacturers to limit and profit from the software that runs on their platform. If you want different rules, use a different platform.

Is it ridiculous to limit your potential userbase to android users, or users savvy enough to jailbreak devices? That is not apple's problem, that is your problem.

One might wish for iOS policies to be different, but there is no intrinsic right for them to be different.

That's 600 MWh for 257 million USD. Tesla's powerwall has 10 KWh for 3500 USD. Interestingly, that's about the same price point.

Efficiency-wise, the centralized Japanese solution makes probably more sense for large centralized solar plants, whereas Tesla's model probably makes more sense for self-owned solar panels.
Unlike Slack, Mattermost is open source...

Teams suffer when SaaS companies lose focus. Since it’s open source,
Mattermost can endure through its community. If quality declines,
anyone can fork the code and take stewardship.

Open source and focus are the wrong arguments here.

(a) Mattermost is built by a video game company, so there is no focus to start with.

(b) Moving from a SaaS product to a self-hosted open source component runs against the process of commoditisation so is ultimately only ever going to be of niche value. After all, why spend scarce and expensive engineering time setting up, maintaining, and potentially having to fork a product, when you could just pay $however-much/month and not have to worry about it.
> Espionnage? Against le prolétariat? Who gives une merde?

They always considered that ok, even as it was illegal.

The NSA spying on its citizens was discussed in France, partially because unlike the USA which has a number of laws on counterterrorism and espionage, France is lacking — spy activities are a grey area of the law, which is another way to say they were illegal. I remember a Le Monde article to this effect, citing someone at the DGSE.

After the events at Charlie Hebdo this year, the government felt confident enough to admit that those activities target French citizens and decided to make mass surveillance lawful, which caused a large backlash (notably on Twitter with the hashtag #PJLRenseignement).

But every country spies on every country it interacts with. The difference is that, there, the government does not set the rules; diplomacy does. So they try to make it a big deal to get leverage for the next negotiation. Also, appearing like a protector of the people is a politician's dream.
Meh. It's been done before. It only works above magnetic surfaces.

That was more or less my last point, yeah. If you're not making a case for cultural diversity based on business, then I'm not sure how you expect to get most businesses on board.

I'm astonished that their response to this was to boot him off because this is "becoming a PR issue", and mystified as to why only 7 days notice was given.

On the PR issue side, this would seem to have generated quite a bit of negative press, more than one person's intemperately worded blog possibly could have. I see that some other commenters have taken exception to his tone, but there is another way of looking at that, which is to discount his opinion /because/ it is intemperately worded. The over-reaction on Hiveage's part, the short notice, and the issues with export are objective facts that are hard to ignore and surely carry more weight than the original opinions expressed.

On the notice side, seven days is too short, and all that has done is shone a light on their export issues, which will scare many people away now.

Hiveage claim 45,000+ businesses use their service - can this really be the first time they have had to deal with a grumpy so-and-so, and have they really never heard of the wisdom of not feeding trolls (not calling the guy a troll, just trying to see it as they evidently do), and the lesson of the Steisand effect?

Did they have a right to boot him off? Sure. Was it sensible? Not so much...

What do you mean by "trigger the AGPL for all the systems that are network-connected to the AGPL system"?

The AGPL requires that you offer to distribute the source code to derivative works you make of AGPLed code; and it requires that you make that offer to a) people you have distributed binaries to and b) people you permit to access that derivative work over a network.

I guess I can imagine someone arguing that, by integrating Mattermost (for example) with another system, you are thereby giving users of that other system access to your installation of Mattermost, and so you would be required to offer them the source to that installation of Mattermost. Is that what you mean by "trigger the AGPL"?
