I think the problem lies in the '.js.erb'. Write javascript in separate javascript files (in app/assets/javascripts/) and use JSON to get data from the rails backend.

Have you seen this? http://todomvc.com/ You can try implementing a backend in Rails for the jquery example. https://github.com/tastejs/todomvc/tree/gh-pages/examples/jq....

The JS file shows how to organize javascript code - https://github.com/tastejs/todomvc/blob/gh-pages/examples/jq...

Also unless you really like coffeescript, stick with javascript. If the syntax is bothering you, you can write in ES6 (next version of javascript) which has nicer syntax and use babel to convert to ES5

In Europe it's not just the social security angle.

There are laws and there's a US company ignoring these laws, with more money than is good for them (much larger and powerful than "Uber's powerful and connected opponents" that the GP spoke of). That matches every stereotype of US companies that try to force the American Way onto Europe.

I can't think of many ways to make it easier for the media to produce a scandal (which is how they make their money).

And to some degree it looks plausible: Uber is larger than most of the incumbents (I'm pretty sure that they're larger than any of the existing taxi companies in Germany). They're handed injunctions against the way they operate all the time. They don't seem to care to work within the legal framework (There might have been options in Germany - but they require some amount of good will by elected officials, something that probably dried up by now), but simply want to destroy it.

100% right. Sun were psychotically obsessed with maintaining a completely stable and reliable and predictable platform for both the JVM & Solaris. This went out the window with Oracle for the sake of "innovation". The number of major incidents caused by cavalier changes in 1.6 & 1.7 is ridiculous. Youd be hard pushed to even find anything worse than a documentation formatting bug in 1.5.

It's an authoring platform for superbooks. The zing here is that authors can write HTML, CSS and JavaScript to produce the pages of their book. Hence the term developers is used interchangeably.

I'm pretty sure the way in which you deliver the drug is the biggest variable as to how much damage it causes. The article briefly touched upon it; most illegal ketamine comes in a crystal form and needs rehydrating (cooking), most people do not rehydrate the ketamine and instead just crush it. Taking this instead of hydrated ketamine is much more detrimental to the bladder/ut.

[author of jackline here] interesting idea, but since I'm not willing to audit all the other xmpp clients, I won't import any OTR private keys. I'm willing to import trusted fingerprints of contacts, though.

also, imho people should get used to key rollover / revocation / renewals, rather than pretending that you have a life-long key.
I believe the product to be actually real, and that it will ship to the customers. So in that sense, the project is not a scam, the users will get something out of it. You can see people playing with the device in their Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/132837598
I would be willing to bet the price paid is actually a reasonable price for all the custom-made components that the device is made of.

On the other hand, the product if far from something I'd call an holographic display, so it's in a bit of a gray area for a Kickstarter, especially since they CGI'd the first trailer with faked 3D views.
“Any error may vitiate the entire output of the device. For the recognition and correction of such malfunctions intelligent human intervention will in general be necessary.”

Yup, I've had that problem a couple of times recently too. Definitely a current issue.
>And no, it's not pointless definitional games

Actually it pretty much is exactly that. You clearly didn't read the article or don't care about the article and only care about the headline. You aren't even discussing the article or the moral and legal points discussed within it, you are literally just concerned with the headline.

>the title is intentionally totally wrong. Black vs white.

The title isn't really a bad description of the article at all so to call it "totally wrong" is false. To call it "intentionally totally wrong" is, well, even more false.

>It's not like it's mostly right but not quite, it's almost as wrong as it's possible to be and still be using words.

I can't believe you'd actually seriously claim this, the title might be slightly ambiguous but to call it "as wrong as it's possible to be" is unequivocally a lie. The title in no way is "as wrong as it's possible to be". Are you a native speaker of English? I am not sure it's possible to make the statements you have made, at least in good faith, whilst being a native speaker. You have to be either a troll or a non-native speaker, with ants in your pants over something to do with the EU, because there is no other reasonable explanation for your wild claims. "European Parliament rejects EU plan to axe Freedom of Panorama" is simply not, as a title, "almost as wrong as it's possible to be and still be using words". Game over.
It originated in France (see https://coq.inria.fr/about-coq). In French, 'coq' means 'rooster' - the language that implements Coq is named Gallina and the logo is indeed a rooster.

Ok, so:

The RCS software from Hacking Team is basically a Remote Access Trojan, right? As it says in the description:

"It is a tool for taking control of the endpoints, that is, the PCs" [0]

So they already have control over the system and are probably able to down- and upload whatever they want.

Isn't that a feature in all the "Lawful Intercept" tools? The only assurance that they don't upload incriminating stuff is their word. Or is the CP code snippet such a strong trigger?

Precipitation in water form, particularly if it's over time, will really help replenish groundwater. A lot of farms in the central valley are pumping water, and the underground reservoirs are being depleted.

Given the Drought/Flood nature of California, I would be surprised if they weren't seriously looking at figuring out how to store excess water in underground aquifer's during their seasons of plenty.

Seems rather unconvincing to frame your article on "small fish" eating "big fish" with a story about big fish IBM vs the small fish of DEC and Sun. IBM currently has (according to Google) a market capitalisation of 160 billion dollars; DEC and Sun don't exist any more.

Ask HN: Developer in need of a new direction. Ideas? Experiences?
I'm a software developer for an Internet services company. I've been developing full stack (.Net) solutions for the past 9 years. Previously I managed an IT department and provided 3rd line for the network and server infrastructure. I've moved around during this time worked in environments ranging from procedure heavy blue chips to disorganised smaller companies and teams with a range of budgets and others somewhere between the two. I feel I've gained a good experience and understanding of the industry/culture.
I have a passion for technology and enjoy creating, problem solving, learning new things and discovering how they work. I don't enjoy managing people or running projects. However, I've recently had a real urge to get out of IT altogether or move in to something else (training?) I've become disheartened with the bad code, the bullshitters and politics and the same grind day in day out. I feel I'm wasting some of my best years being chained to a desk surrounded by people plugged in and tuned out. Working outdoors or out and about and a better work life balance is really appealing and am at an absolute loss as to what I want to do next. I'm potentially thinking of going in to contracting for the short term just to get out of where I am and to give me some financial freedom to explore other options. Freelancing over the net through sites like elance appear to be a waste of time with massive amounts of 'developers' driving prices down to the extent which makes it difficult to imagine making a living from it! I have this urge though to get in to something rewarding and meaningful than just cleaning up other people's mess and bad design.
I'm quite creative and enjoy working with like minded people and practical and am usually pretty good at applying myself to most things without too much trouble.
Has anyone else found themselves in a similar position? Did you manage to find something else or work out a new direction?

> There is a strong argument to be made that libraries should not vendor their own dependencies, but as the author of several library / command combo packages that rely extensively on 3rd party libraries I’m not convinced of that blanket assertion.

We ran into this with prometheus.io and godep. Vendoring in our libraries meant that types didn't match between the vendored version that the main server had and the vendored version coming form the library.

If there's a way to solve this, that'd be great but it means you're back to choosing which version is correct.

How to start an open source project with no actual skills, experience or money?
I have an idea for a non-existing web-app I'd like really like to exist and be used by me and others. I could probably start something with my low-level amateur design and programming skills (never learned this systematically), but I believe the project's chances of coming to life are higher as an open-source project that more professional people are leading.

Can this happen? Or, to be more concrete, has this ever happened before with an actual published app or software? Where should I start?

To be clear, I aim at an open, free use application without an intention to sell.
NYSE Says Software Update to Blame for 4-hour Trading Halt

This post seems like a restatement of "The Innovator's Dilemma"[1] by
Clayton Christensen.

A new product that serves a market that is initially small but growing is ignored by the established company. The established company is conditioned to focus on their current customers' needs instead of imagining that future customers of a product they don't currently make could be a much bigger market.

A Stanford prof like Mark Leslie would presumably be well-read and therefore be aware of Clayton Christensen's popular book. He should explicitly state where his thesis differs from, or is more refined than, The Innovator's Dilemma.

could you not have replaced git with hg above, and the argument still holds? Revlog's format itself isn't under copyright (and i doubt it exists, but only with a patent can you stop a _format_ spec from being used). If you wrote a parser for the revlog format, you aren't "infected".

Also, hg plugins are much easier to write (being in python and all), than messing around with git's internals imho (ala, facebook's modification to hg to make it massively scalable https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-merc..., which would've been almost impossible in git).

Just start doing what you can with what you know. You stand to learn orders of magnitude by doing and redoing, than you do by asking. Choose some tools and see if they work out for you, and if not, roll the dice again and retry. You might have to start from scratch a couple of times, but that's not as onerous when the project is at an early stage and you are learning by doing. Best of luck! :-)
Here is an explanation of the change to `substring()`[0] and why it was done. The change was done in Java 7u6.

In short, the previous way of keeping the same underlying character array and just updating the {offset, count} indexes has a drawback in that if the original string is large, it is prevented from being GC'd if one keeps a reference to even a single substring generated from it.

So, it's a trade-off between the original and new behaviour; the original way more or less caps the memory usage at the size of the original string, but at the expense of not being able to GC it if even a single substring exists, while the new way increases memory usage for each substring generated but does not prevent any of the strings from being GC'd.

This is why the article's code example yields such a huge difference in memory usage in Java 6 vs Java 7; it is effectively a sort of "anti-pattern" when used against the new `substring()` method. (i.e. iterating through a large string and generating lots of sub-strings)

The article I linked to, which came out in late 2012, basically had the same advice:

"If you are writing parsers and such, you can not rely any more on the implicit caching provided by String. You will need to implement a similar mechanism based on buffering and a custom implementation of CharSequence"

I'm pretty happy with the approach of common x-plat core and then bindings to the native UI framework (Cocoa, WPF, etc.) on each platform. I'll bite the bullet of rewriting the UI layer for each platform if it means an absolutely great experience, you still save plenty from having that common core. Also, there's the nice side-effect that you end up learning the particulars of each platform, and by necessity end up with a really good architecture.

I do this with C#, not sure how many other languages support this approach. I wish it was all of them.

The mechanism provided by the go tool is just for compilation. There will be other tools you will use to actually manage the dependencies. So you may choose to flatten out the dependencies, but maybe keep a couple separate for special cases.

That was not a fun change in a codebase I worked on. Java 6 and later are more sticklers in what is allowed by the api contacts and not breaking those than in the sun days.
If your strings are large, then calculating the hash will take time AND the extra 4 bytes for hash storage will be minimal extra overhead.

You can easily find good & bad cases for all of these string implementations. They all have tradeoffs.

If we were really motivated, we could start a gigantic project to build more reservoirs and lakes up in the mountains to capture this rain.

Long term protection from run off erosion of the top soil would outweigh any short term environmental costs. Think permaculture on a massive terraforming scale.

Cab drivers have a union that provides them with services most importantly proper liabilities and damages insurance.

They are also provided benefits through the union such as health insurance and pensions.

The local regulations also ensure that the vehicle that is used is road worthy even in places that do not require a yearly checkup for all vehicles.
