I think it depends...

I also applied as a solo founder, however I have a technical background and know that I can build and ship my product (already pushed out an MVP after t<2weeks).

Assuming there is a technical component to your project which you alone can't provide, then in my opinion you'll have a much harder time benefitting from the 8 week fellowship program than I would...

This is simply because while I'm building, recruiting users and (assuming my project keeps growing) fending off 'marketing experts' & business types who want to join the team, you can't really do much of anything until you find a technical cofounder.

Bearing in mind that most successful cofounding teams knew each other previously, you'll either need a long time to find your cofounder, you'll choose poorly and it won't work out or you'll be one of those lucky few who get it right (but the risk in accepting you is still much higher than for a technical founder/cofounding team doing the same project)

That said, if your project requires little technical input and you can do sales/marketing/growth before even finding a cofounder (eg by faking it 'til you make it on some non-tech product), then there's no real reason I can think of that you would be at a disadvantage, except perhaps that it might be viewed as a negative confidence in your abilities if you haven't been able to convince a technical cofounder to join your team...

Either way, I wish you the best of luck :)

The points stand on their own, and I think it's useful to have a phrase that markets the practice.

I personally view it as irresponsible regardless of whether we called it "Foo Disclosure". I do view sharing the exploit on the patch date irresponsible irrespective of the term. I believe the name was chosen well, and I don't think it deserves painting with "PATRIOT ACT" type brush.

I've dealt with commercial firms as well as non-commercial firm disclosures, and really working with people who report security issues could go a LOT smoother. A lot of those experiences did not go well, but it would be wrong for me to make generalizations.

Business here on either side doesn't matter; the user is all that matters, and it shouldn't be about getting "credit", earning points, or being done with something quickly. I think a lot of people think this is a game or something, and it's really not.

Real systems and real people's data are on the line.

UI design - how would someone with strong views (and experience!) on gestures and UI features but with little coding experience get involved? Just put some mocks somewhere and post them to where the UI team meet?

Edit: In fact, where do the people interested in UI design actually meet and make their sausages in KDE? I can't seem to find a central place similar to http://design.canonical.com/

There is this gap between having the programming knowledge to 'submit a patch' and other kinds of large scale organisation/design skill.

I don't take issue with Conal Elliott taking the time to explain what he meant by it. I very much appreciate that! My issue is with the poster above that puts down languages with FRP concepts because they aren't "The FRP, The Whole FRP and Nothing But The FRP."

I love the FP community but if there's one thing everyone on a whole could learn it is that purist beliefs do no good for FP adoption and only help reinforce the "Functional Programmers are condescending" sentiment.
I rent cars often, I really dislike the ones w/a giant touch-screen on the front and nothing else. To me it's a gimmick and totally unsafe, since I have to look at the screen to do anything on it, sometimes repeatedly if it didn't recognize my touches. So they often end up duplicating all controls on the steering wheel, how is that 'good design'?

Last car I had (Kia Forte) was actually very pleasurable... they had a very helpful digital display but all the adjustment could be done w/real buttons.
Yes, exactly this.

Everything else should get a better explanation. Misconfigurations and faulty programming aren't "glitches."
Or yak shaving?

I remember reading comp.compilers for a long time and people would always post about creating the next great language. They first thing people (usually John Levine) would ask it, "Why does the world need yet another programming language?" Not necessarily to discourage, but to invoke thoughtfulness.

There's nothing wrong with new languages. But it seems people are popping them out left and right these days. I think Javascript frameworks are the only thing that come faster.

So, do we _really_ need yet another new programming language?

Down vote me all you want, but at least I ask the question.
Nothing Quite Like iPhone
Like you, I cook fresh pretty much every day. I find it quite relaxing (but then I find housework quite relaxing, so I may be broken!).

One thing I'd add to the list is a slow cooker. I don't use it very much in summer, but in winter it can be great (the winters here are fairly bleak. Actually, so are the summers - but let's not go there...).

Keep an eye on your local supermarket for special offers on cuts of meat - shove it in the slow cooker in the morning with some tomato/herbs/spices and when you get back in the evening it's done (and your kitchen has that lovely warm home-cooked smell that takes the winter chill off!). You can easily cook enough for several days in one go too.
Antarctica is not colonization. You are not allowed to own land or start a business on Antarctica. For human settlement on Mars to succeed, Mars must not become Antarctica. The first few missions will be government owned and the crew will be as independent as military personnel, but actual settlement will be done by people legally and economically free to colonize.
I've used Plated and looked heavily into these services as way to eat healthier and try new things. If I had to put my finger on one part I liked the most it's sourcing. I like cooking and have no problem looking for and finding new recipes online but I HATE with a firey passion going to the grocery store. I hate not knowing where things are and spending a fair amount of time googling on my phone in the store to find out if cornmeal == cornstarch == cornflour. Sometimes I can't even find what I'm looking for and even asking the help results only in a blank stare. This is particularly annoying for things I need that I've never heard of or cooked with before. I can follow recipes perfectly and have food turn out very good but finding the ingredients is the hard part for me.

Plated results in way too much waste for me as well as sometimes sending me ingredients/recipes that I don't like/want which is why I've gone back to just buying all of my ingredients directly (when I can find them).

Many programming languages put boxes around the bits that the CPU actually operate on. These boxes often store things like reference count and type (or a dispatch table for object-oriented languages with single-dispatch). That thing inside a box that is the actual value is called an atom.

Those boxes have a lot of overhead (in PHP it's around 140 bytes!), and because a major identified problem is the waste of valuable cache space and CPU time book-keeping these boxes, a lot of JIT and compiler research is about how to eliminate the boxes.

You can see why they do this when considering a program like:

$a = array();
for($i = 0; $i < 100000; ++$i) $a[$i] = rand()*65536;
sort($a);

which might take 200k (and fits easily in cache) in C/C++ but 15 megabytes (and doesn't) in PHP.

However.

Eliminating those boxes has proven to be very difficult, and while I have heard great things about Java 10, I am reserved because I also heard great things about Java 5. And Self. I do not expect JIT/compilers will get smart enough to actually solve this problem in my lifetime.

On the other hand, array programming languages allow you to get that space-overhead that C/C++ has in an interactive (and usually interpreted) language, so it so happens that you don't have to choose between a nice interpreted programming language with introspection, automatic memory management, and so on, and high performance, but it does mean you have to program the arrays instead of the atoms.

I do not understand how that source file is "OO business logic".
I already said so, in comments above and various talks quite easy to find.

1. I'm not saying that it wouldn't have an effect, just that the effect is difficult to predict and may very well be minimal.

2. Keep in mind that many German export products aren't particularly price-sensitive. Take for example, Delo, a typical German Mittelstand business. They produce smartcard adhesives (inter alia) and have pretty much cornered the world market on that product (a few years ago, about 80%, and a pretty good chunk of the smartphone market, too). The cost of adhesives doesn't really factor in the price of a smartcard and quality is more important, so currency valuations have relatively little effect.

3. Most of the value chain of German car manufacturers was outsourced to Eastern Europe in the 1990s [1]. Much of the effect of any increased export prices would be offset by cheaper imports.

4. I can't think of any effect that would jack up the value of a currency by 50% overnight, short of a major economic disaster. A currency appreciation would almost always be gradual and occur over several years.

5. While we are talking about counterfactuals, keep in mind that the US is a currency union also. Similar effects would result in America if the US dollar were split in, say, a Northern dollar and a Southern dollar. Detroit would suddenly see its cars become more difficult to export, while Tennessee's would become cheaper (just as Eastern Europe's under the Euro counterfactual).

The point is not that you should stop using your laptop, rather that you should not have bought it in the first place to avoid encouraging the practices you dislike. If you keep buying and using your laptop, that means you're ok with everything that went into the process of building and transporting it to you, as you're helping financing the very process you denounce. It's like buying and eating meat of protected species and saying "hey, I didn't kill the poor thing".

I actually seem to prefer the TressFx "Off" in the demo. Still in the uncanny valley territory with the "On" stuff.

For example, in the first demo scene, she's hanging upside down, but only her pony tail is hanging down... the rest of her hair remains "up". Not realistic at all and ruins the effect for me completely... I'll take the "Off" stuff.
Well, let's look at the JVM landscape. First of all Oracle has (finally) picked up the pace in terms of evolving Java and the JVM.

This is a bit of a double edged sword for alternative JVM languages since on the one hand JVM improvements (like current SAMs and value types in Java 10) are a big win for all involved, but on the other, Java's evolution is very much a threat to Scala, Kotlin, and Ceylon in particular*

Why is Java's evolution a threat? As Java cherry picks functional idioms from, for example, Scala, the motivation for Java teams to pick up Scala is reduced. Arguably Kotlin is in a worse position as its main "problem" is being too similar to Java. Already Java has deprecated the `_` character so shouldn't be any surprise to see `roster.stream().filter(_.getGender() == Person.Sex.MALE)`, land in the language [1]...getting pretty Scala-like o_O

Kotlin's window of opportunity is in the next 2-3 years, basically before Java 10 lands. If an ecosystem develops around it (likely one of the reasons adoption rates are so low at present) and their 1.0 comes on the scene soon, they can steal some limelight from Scala, and maybe put Ceylon in the rear view mirror.

* Clojure and JRuby are probably safe given their non-Java roots, and Groovy, not sure where it would be without Gradle.

I've never seen somebody hate Japan so much!

> Furthermore, Americans can exit and enter the job market. If you are unhappy with how things are going at your company, you can quit and work somewhere else.

If you're an auto-worker you have two competitors to go work for and they probably do business in almost exactly the same way. Other than that you have to leave the industry.

> In America, a new CEO digs up all the wrong things that the previous CEO did and “cleans house”. In Japan, new CEOs are the previous CEO’s proteges and continue to hide their predecessors secrets

In a Japanese auto-company the new CEO is likely somebody who's worked many of the jobs in the company and has an engineering background. In America the new CEO has an MBA and little idea what their new employees actually do. This is often stated as a bad thing.

> Lastly, in America, corrupt CEOs get send to jail

In America corrupt CEOs usually get golden parachutes. It takes extreme corruption or political enemies to go to jail.

In all of this you've failed to explain why the American auto industry, with our superior company culture, can't make competitive cars.

In fairness to Excel, I think most of it's faults are more down to user misuse (eg people creating "databases" in Excel) rather than problems with the package itself.

Though Excel's handling of CSV can sometimes be a little troublesome - particularly with date / time fields. And I wish it support Open Document Spreadsheet (.ODS). But the former is a fringe case and the latter is obviously just a business decision. So, as you say, it's a very impressive program.

It was particularly interesting to me how PKD's themes of simulacra, Disneyland, and Watergate closely matched those of Jean Baudrillard who wrote[1], somewhat more pessimistically but very much in the same vein as PKD, in 1981:

... Watergate. You remember this. Nixon. Wiretaps in the
plants. Deepthroat. All that jazz. Watergate was the exact
same fucking thing as Disneyland—an imaginary thing whose
only purpose is to distract us from the fact that every
last thing is now imaginary. But where Disneyland is a
fictional magic land, Watergate is instead a “scandal.”
The real scandal beneath the surface is that there is no
difference between facts and bullshit. Both the CIA and
the journalists from the Washington Post who broke the
story use the same tactics. What Watergate did was create
a fiction moral compass of sorts. All politics are
permanently buttfucked, but if we occasionally point
fingers at some buttfucker who is doing some serious
buttfucking, it creates this sense that there are less
serious degrees of buttfucking and even possibly regular,
wholesome vagfucking. ...
