I'd like to see a simple e-commerce cart written using all of the patterns. That's really the minimal "hello world" for comparing the patterns he discusses.

Many US politicians and officials would easily be considered war criminals if there were any sort of binding international law. Even more would likely be jailed for activities that are well known if they weren't already powerful. Once

It would be interesting to use this not only for the filesystem but for the entire OS, so that all state changes could be audited. Perhaps some unikernels already do this sort of thing.

Wouldn't StackOverflow questions equate to confusion about the language rather than use, or at least use heavily weighted by confusion?

This is a great point.

Great point. It would seem that with a stronger version of net neutrality this number would not simply be an aim, it would be a legal requirement.

Thanks! I think the Internet is one thing that has thrived in the absence of regulation, largely because of the absence of top-down control. I'd be curious what unwanted scenarios you view as the most likely to occur in the absence of

By banning "throttling" it would not allow ISPs to prioritize VOIP over Tor packets, or to impose a bandwidth cap on BT traffic for a particular plan. These regulations are a solution to a non-problem, and as is often the case wit

"Neutral" just means using some QoS setting that someone thought was "fair". It's heavily biased toward current protocols and their current uses, and is just as unfriendly to potentially groundbreaking tech as an &q

I've done some work with react native, and have definitely been disappointed by the poor quality of many third party libraries that are not supported by Facebook. This is a big opportunity for those who might wish to make a name for th

> not sincerely believing At the time Travis was invited to join the council, there was already more than enough information known about Trump to warrant declining the invitation.

So how is it better for Travis to quit now rather than in two or three years after he can credibly talk about specific things the council has been tasked with? It seems that Travis was essentially shamed into virtue signaling by quitting.

As an emacs user, it's interesting to watch the race of open source extensible editors like Atom and VSCode. I still haven't been tempted to leave emacs, but it's great to see so much progress in the ecosystem.

> the ACLU is by definition anti-government I'd rephrase that as "in favor of the rule of law". Governments break the law all the time and need some form of checks and balances to correct wrongdoing.

I tried arch a few years ago on a $150 netbook and liked it a lot. Is it fairly easy to map package dependency names to the Ubutnu versions? Also, is it possible to install both i386 and amd64 versions of a library?

I end up choosing Ubuntu for the reasons you mention, and recently found that I get a lot of crashes of unity, seemingly due to the nvidia prprietary drivers running at 4K. I'd guess the crashes aren't this common for all users o

This is a very useful, common-sense post. I've created exactly that sort of thing using redis. The expiry mechanism combined with formatting date strings to create time buckets for keys allows quite a bit of power and is simple to wr

Please explain. My point is that stereoscopic vision lets our brains ignore more information by identifying the depth of interest and ignoring the rest. Similarly, trying to identify the direction of a sound using only one ear is very diffi

Great points. > Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" is probably the most artistic use of 3D I've seen to date. I'm going to have to watch it, do you know of a way to see it in 3D using a normal laptop or TV?

I had been sort of hoping that 3D TV would not become the norm. I saw Avatar in 3D and while the effects were fun to watch, I thought that the expressiveness of the depth-of-field shots was actually reduced. In 2D cinema, the viewer's

This DIY lane following algorithm made me think about it, and after reading Elon Musk's tweet about retrofitting I'd been thinking about the market and figured this thread was as good a place as any to deposit my thoughts.

It was only a factor after the case had been partially damaged. Let's hope that the testing procedure will start to inflict similar damage to catch this sort of failure more quickly.
