But I haven't written that input-process-output equals functional. I just pointed out that the React model allows for a larger piece of the code to be functional, in exactly the same way it's done, say, in Haskell. This has nothing to do with monads. Monads are used for the imperative, stateful code that is pushed to the top of the call stack, the bit which is partially managed by React for you (by calling the render method).

I would also never claim that React invented any of this. It just popularized this more declarative approach for building Web UIs

Let's just say that I know of a big cloud company who now has 1 major internal project which has been obsoleted by what Amazon releases now.

If you have a large cloud platform, an API gateway is priceless.

Especially if you have single sign on and therefore can use auth tokens for everything.

Hey that's ours :) Right now it's heavily focused on remote control rather than test automation, so it would not be a direct replacement yet. We just open sourced last week, though, so perhaps we can start looking into that in the near future after the initial batch of bugs is fixed.

Not all of them. Python is often stricter in some aspects of the language and in community norms.

Many services integrate natively with Github (dev oriented services use Github oAuth, CI solutions use Github hooks to kick off builds, integration built into various editors, etc)

Much of this can be replicated in those services though it may require a slightly more manual integration.

The government has always wanted to track specific people for specific reasons. Perhaps 1% (debatable) of the population. Like it or not, they will keep doing that.

What is abhorrent to me is that the government has decided to track 100% of the people 100% of the time. That's what everyone is fighting against.

Smart move for AWS, but they are not innovating nothing here, just following. Late.

Companies like Apigee/Mashape/3scale/Mulesoft have been doing cloud API management in various forms since 2008. Even Microsoft Azure has an API management offering since two years.

Nowadays all those API gateway features are commodities and doesn't make sense to pay for it anymore. Indeed Open Source projects such as KONG [1] are getting tremendous tractions. Same things happened in search with all cloud solutions and then ElasticSearch came out and was game over.

Slightly related thing is RAM random bit errors. There was an interesting article published few years ago where some guy registered domains that differed by one bit from some popular domains and recorded the traffic that hit them. Kinda scary to think what else is wrong in your RAM then... Too bad that ECC is still restricted to servers and serious workstations.

Ask HN: To Those Who Have Raised Friends/Family Round
Any advice?

I understand the importance of managing expectations, the risk of ruining relationships. Any other advice/experience you could share would be appreciated.

About my startup:

Hardware product that automates/makes possible a common task that can and is frequently done by hand but can not be done consistently well by human hands, hence my machine. The output of my machine is far superior to what can be done manually.

I have buyers lined up, and a working prototype, demand is huge and I have filed a provisional patent. I need the money to continue operations through a crowd funding round and for legal counsel/liability.

I'm looking to raise under Rule 504, amounts of 5-10k from several friends/family that have offered, well off/sophisticated but probably not accredited. Looking to raise 60k.

Hacker News changed my life, I learned enough reading the articles/comments here to start a viable consulting business. I got my best clients from the monthly seeking freelancer posts, and I thank the community in advance for the good advice I am sure I will receive from this post.

Update:

Any thoughts on strategy of raising small F&F round and going for crowd funding round vs trying for a proper San Francisco angel/VC seed round?

The product is truly disruptive and in a hot industry. People get really excited about it. It's sexy. The niche my product is in currently is in the same place as microcomputers were before the Apple I, with lots of hobbyists making their own setups.

I have a friend who built and sold a solar company with contacts in San Francisco he could introduce me to.

The product is disruptive and the market is huge/sexy. I have no doubt I could raise from proper angels, however my bias it to maintain as much ownership/control as possible.

Thoughts?

Sorry for being secretive, but I think its best to stay in stealth mode for now.

> This only applies to unsafe manual memory management. Not all manual memory management is unsafe.

There is no such thing as safe manual memory management, by definition manual memory management is unsafe.

Assuming you are defending Rust here, if the compiler, e.g. a tool, is doing validation of memory management, it is no longer manual.

As such I don't consider compiler verified memory management as manual.

> ... file that two threads are holding onto, which you want to close when both threads shut down

Easy, use a region and close the file when all threads join it. Let the thread runtime help the GC manage the resources.

Similar solutions can be applied to other types of resources.
That's a good question, and one that I'm not in a position to answer.

However the greek economy is not just olive oil and tourism, but those sectors are huge [1]. The Greeks also export finished petrochemical goods, have (had?) the largest commercial shipping fleet, control flow through the Mediterranean (the islands). More importantly they can have a balanced budget if ppl negotiate in good faith.

[1] it annoys me when ppl disparage greece's "olive oil" sector. Olive oil, like greek agriculture in general is high value (see how much it sells for in Whole Foods). Greek olive oil isn't like Iowa potatoes, but more like California citrus groves.

This is why I REALLY like the MS/Azure way of doing things.

"I need to host a web app" "Okay there's Azure Web Apps for that"

"I need to store lots of files" "There's Azure Storage/Blob Storage for that"

"I need a SQL Database" "There's Azure SQL for that"

"I need a VM" "There's Azure Virtual Machines for that"

"I need a Data Lake" "There's Azure Data Lake for that"

"I need a Data Lake" "There's Azure Data Lake for that"

"I need a Data Warehouse" "There's Azure Data Warehouse for that"

"I need a Cache" "There's Azure Redis Cache for that"

I could go on, but you get the picture. Cute names are not the way to go when you're offering dozens of services which may overlap with eachother somewhat. I can just scroll down a list of things MS offers on Azure and be able to easily pick out the things I need to use by their names alone.
That comes out to about 12% per year, compounded. Makes sense given the huge multi-decade bull market that began in the early 80s (2006 - 30 years = 1976).

But certainly not something you can rely on. For comparison, with a 5% annual return, you get $64k. With an 8% annual return, you get $150k.
> without losing the threadedness

Sometimes this would be a good thing. Top-level (and in general 'higher up the tree' comments completely dominate. It's rare for the direction of a HN thread to shift much after a reasonable number of comments as everything gets buried quite far down.

I'd really like a 'what changed since i was last here' button. Quite often I come back to a long thread I was especially interested in and I'm completely unable to find out if anything of value has been added.

> But we could sort siblings by date at each level of the tree

More options = better. The intended audience of HN can cope with a few more things to click. Treat us like power-users.
> enough money to stimulate the economy would work,

That might indeed work. But who's supposed to foot the bill? Since greece does not have the money and greece is openly stating they can't even pay the current loans. And I don't see how debt-forgiveness is helping here. A default might help, but greece is running a marginal primary surplus at best, so even with a default they'd be stuck where they are - in a pretty shitty place.

The only thing I could see that would help is a fiscal union, but a fiscal union would require all parties to give up some part of their control and seriously, I don't see that happening (though I wish it would)
My intuition is this is on par with "the sky is blue."

So I read through the article just in case there was something unexpected. Unfortunately there isn't.
AWS has a lot of pull. And they iterate quickly. Plus AWS is probably still the most complete cloud offerings, and integration is always great.
Wait, what goalpost?

I wasn't making an argument initially, I was making an observation: "He's curt, maybe justifyingly so, but still...".

Then I further expanded upon that, based on the comment I got, that "that's how it is, if you're good at something you often get to dictate how you treat people who want it".

Wasn't meaning it to be an argument (to be met with counter arguments, to move goalposts, etc), just plain observation of how it is, as I see it, in both cases.
Nothing at all. Use jQuery. If things get unwieldy, split your code into multiple files, then merge & minify them with grunt or gulp.
Whoops. Got me. Very embarrassing. I tried to be fancy by grafting the ordinary, non-physics meaning of the word onto the more specific, scientific use. Just pretentious and ignorant--a really great combination.

This is interesting for lone developers, but I'm not sure about the pricing:

You’ll pay $1 per active pipeline per month (the first one is available to you at no charge as part of the AWS Free Tier). An active pipeline has at least one code change move through it during the course of a month.

Does this mean that every time you run a session you pay 1 EUR no matter how many stages the session has (pull, compile/build, test (multiple tests) and deploy?

A Special Note to the Writers at the Dollop
We hold no grudge against you guys. Italians treated our people quite nicely during the war and besides we share a common heritage that permeates millennia.

We also hold no grudge towards Germans either. For decades they visit Greece each summer for vacations and we treat them as we treat every other guest to our country. It’s just that they always look down to us with contempt. For them we’re the lazy pricks who drink ouzo and lie on the beach all day. Even Merkel herself called us lazy. And then it bothers them when we say they’re all Nazi descendants. If you want our respect you have to give it first.

We don’t want no debt relief or whatever. All we want is a viable agreement that will not tank the economy further and lead more young people to unemployment. You give us that and we’ll repay everything. Simple as that.
Well, then it's slavery of a defeated country. Are you defending that as legal?
For some absolutely insane reason I sometimes get the feeling that I can outpick a fund with individual stocks, because "Hey, I follow this whole tech world really closely! Surely I can pick some big winners!"

It has been a somewhat expensive lesson that I have absolutely no clue what's going on, but every once in a while I just can't help but try. I keep a little fun money in individual equities, and the rest now sits safely in funds. My aggregate individual funds always lose out to what has been relatively steady fund performance.

Contrary to urban myths, game consoles never used OpenGL as such, only GL like APIs (the PS3 PSGL wasn't really used).

Apple also only adopted OpenGL on MacOS X due to NeXTStep, before it used QuickDraw 3D.

Sure, there are a lot of subtle things which have been improved in later Angular versions.

First of all, you don't need $scope anymore in controllers, you can still use it for functions like $watch, but you don't need to inject it in just to add properties to your controller, you can just use `this.foo = 'bar';`

You also have the controllerAs syntax which I don't think is present in earlier Angular versions, which provides a shorthand for your controller, and bindToController for directives, which allows you to bind attribute values directly to the directives controller without extra syntax.

If I remember other things I will update this comment.
It would be fun to calculate the power input required for that. I suspect it would be in the range of megawatts or so - instantly vaporizing the gearbox (assuming you could somehow push that power into it before you destroy it mechanically).

I wouldn't think it was that surprising. Businesses, especially consoles, want to be seen as reliable and good quality in order to develop a strong relationship with their customers. If it commonly fails right after the minimum warranty, then why would someone want to buy something again that is unreliable? They wouldn't and would go right to the competition.

This is very interesting, and I am surprised it didn't happen a long time ago. The Lambda function integration opens up lots of new ideas when building API backends ready to be consumed by clients apps like, for example, a client-side Javascript application.

On the other side it seems like other extra functionality is limited and very AWS-oriented. If you are looking for an open source gateway that can be expanded with extra functionality, and potentially sit on top of the AWS-> Lambda integration, take a look at https://github.com/Mashape/kong (I am a core maintainer too, so feel free to ask me any question). Kong is accepting plugins from the community (http://getkong.org/plugins), which can be used to replace or extend functionality beyond any other gateway including AWS Gateway.
I get that. Would you consider this as a way to co-create content by live-blogging and have your fans contribute to the post thus?

that's not similar. there is no API management in there.
If my Google Voice number is my 2-Factor Auth Number am I Screwed?
I changed my password today on my Google account because I wanted to make it stronger. I have 2-factor auth via my Google Hangouts number. (I realize now that was a mistake, I was going to fix that as well.)

As soon as I changed my password it logged me out of my phone and my other accounts and now I don't have access to Google Voice or Hangouts or anything. So now when I log in with my (changed) password it asks me for a text message that I have no way of getting.

I have access to the backup email on my account and the actual phone number (like for a voice call) but I don't see an option to authenticate via phone call.

This is what I see: http://i.imgur.com/atxQSB9.png

Is there anything I can do? I don't have access to anything. I was just trying to fix all of this and make my account more secure. :(

I filled out the "Account Recovery" form that says it takes 3-5 business days.

I pay for Google Storage (Gmail, Photos, Drive) I pay for Google Voice, I pay for Google Play Music All Access, I've spent hundreds in the Play Store and I'd happily pay for support here, but I'm just stuck.
I checked the review that was linked on their blog; it looks like this is basically Cubieboard2 (i.e. Allwinner A20 SBC) with custom(?) Linux based Amiga emulator. Not really sure if it is really any improvement over existing PC based emulators (e.g. UAE).

edit: the comments in that review mention MiST which seems very interesting project. The board is bit more expensive, but it has an FPGA which can be configured to be an Atari or Amiga or some other retro hardware. Here is the Amiga version: http://somuch.guru/minimig/minimig-mist/
Better in what way? How is it better than a buffer to put arbitrary code in to get executed?

So far, from what you've pointed at, you seem to have picked the most restrictive simplistic examples of what Pry is capable of as a counter-example to explain why it isn't enough for you, rather than explain what it is you believe is actually missing.

Point is: You have access to much better than the examples you've pointed at with Pry as well.

What are you talking about?

The article compares the current situation in Greece to post-WW2 Germany, I'm explaining why it doesn't make any sense to make such a comparison. I'm not talking about who deserved what or whatever, morality, retribution or anything related to that.

Go talk about morality or retribution somewhere else.

"After WWII, what the Western Allies wanted to happen was for West Germany to become strong again and serve to resist Soviet expansion."

Wrong, they wanted to transform Germany into an under-developed agrarian state that would never pose a threat again. Read your history. It only changed due to the Soviet threat, but that was after years of the previous policy.
Thanks for this, the context you provided is quite informative.
Fetch looks interesting but as far as I can tell, it's an in-progress standard with no support on any version of Safari or IE or any mobile browser whatsoever. Seems like it has a bit to go before it being 'native in modern browsers'
Is that good or bad? This article just made me feel like the author thinks that making people talk a certain way changes anything.

Language evolves. Word use changes, can't the author see that "I feel like" literally means "I think that"? It just sounds a bit more polite and not so forceful.
That makes sense. If we aggregate all such events, my thought is if there is a specific question in mind you can seek out answers from one of the experts holding office hours on-line at that time. A blog alternate for say doctors, lawyers, mechanics, chefs, bloggers etc?
I think the real angle of this feature should be to abstract the concept of "project" so that it is no longer synonymous with "git repository". And the migration path is pretty straightforward: every repo becomes a project containing a single repo, and then users can merge existing projects to create multi-repo projects (at which point you'd probably have to re-number every issue, pull request, etc. to avoid collisions).
