Right, but the cover image of the manuscript uses of those style of images. Kind of goofy is a strange way to say racist.

I was wanting the same kind of thing! We have an old Node (lol, funny to write that) code base of about 60 services that fetch data from 3rd party APIs. They're all very dis-organized and written in different styles, so a tool like that would be really useful. I've been experimenting with using Facebook's Flow on this, but it doesn't do the magic that you describe (which I'd like)

White racists, the down vote button is right there for your clicking.

Who cares about his wife if we still can't get what he looked like right. He wasn't European.. let's stop drawing him that way.

I strongly suspect this article was created by Ken Dakin, who it appears has chosen to use Wikipedia to document the achievements of his career. We have recently deleted two articles which he created for a similar purpose; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IBM OLIVER (CICS interactive test/debug) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SIMON (Batch Interactive test/debug).

Maybe Ken is an HN user? ;)

I always thought it was just a movie stereotype to have 'jocks', 'nerds' and 'cheer leaders'

These problems are not a creation of police. These are created by good people like us who do not empathize with criminals, minorities and other groups which by default consider "less human".

I agree that the problem is considering others as "less human" but I wouldn't exclude the police from that!

Hm.. It'd be cool if I could run this on Heroku, though maybe that's a reason to switch to something like AWS?

This is what I thought it'd be, too, only I mis-read fortress as forest and thought about a really cool park-like area with tiny trees.

Aloha from Kaua'i! How do you enjoy O'ahu?

Aloha from Kaua'i! How do you enjoy O'ahu? I've only been in Honolulu a few days (but lived on Kaua'i about 6 years)

I guess the biggest question here is - does OP even want to be a programmer? Maybe they'd rather do something else in life.. but e.g. for me, it's been my goal of the past two years (which I'm finally s/realizing/achieving/)

Plus.. I actually enjoy coding. I wouldn't even want to automate my job. I know that in the past I've wanted ways to escape working, but now that I'm a developer I couldn't imagine finding ways not to work (I guess except for browsing HN)

Yeah this is what I was expecting too

Sorry but I really don't understand what this is for. Can someone explain?

Awesome, thanks!

Tiny request -- can you indicate that the line following the link is a quote? I wasn't sure if that was from the 'tweet' or if that was your interpretation/summary of it

That's really neat you've given a talk about this. If by any chance the talk is recorded it'd be great to watch it!

Well, like what?

While similar, it's not the same. Erlang/OTP/Elixir provides baked in tools to watch, restart, etc. processes. In C you'd need to do this yourself.

npm.

bower install cutestrap

People still use bower...? Somehow I thought it officially(?) was dead.

That's an interesting question and something I hadn't thought about. I think the biggest motivation for going off-grid is the relatively cleaner outcome. I.e. the control over the source/production (e.g. solar vs coal). So overall my guess is that the intent isn't to operate independent nodes but moreover to have control over the way the electricity is produced.

What is this, Hacker News or something? :) (Just nice to see this kind of thing on here)

What problems would be well solved by Reason/OCaml?

Vielen Dank, das war sehr interessant

As well as declaring variables in if blocks

if (!undeclaredVariable) { var undeclaredVariable = false; }

The point here isn't how well it works but the interesting style of code.

Well, they don't have a lot of experience yet.. given time I imagine that they'd grow their zone of comfort

I think you missed that they used Ubuntu on their previous Chromebook (I do too) and so would probably do the same with this one
