It also shoots lasers, runs from the gpu and is in the cloud

Edit: despite i made myself giggle, I realize this comment is disrespectful to the hard work the ava team put in. I will stand by it though because I believe its to the benefit of people to realize how intention and theme doesnt necessarilly match reality. But I love spaceships more than coffee tbh (hard competition though)

Edit: i love how my comment was upvoted before my second. Glad we are a thoughtful group. Basically that tells me emotional responses are rewarded/punished rather than arguably productive. Criticism is important

I think them building it in rust is a good thing. But rust is a mozilla project so its not as though theyre doing people favors. What it certainly does is showcase the strength of the language considering they have proven to be so badass

Facebook is not for me. Msybe its because most of mine freinds are party people. I feel very isolated. I rarely go on it and I find github the only social network I really care about. I feel as though its not really that social though since I only get to talk to people when I bring something to eat the table. Big node repos +1s, the I barely use the follow feature despite having access to some of the most prolific programmers of my time. I want a social programming network. No idea what it looks like, but github has definitely helped curb the isolated feeling. I havent played around with gitlab enough but Im sure it has more potential

Ok, so the simple example you gave is very abstract. Alice and bob may have a great time talking on the phone but I felt no closer to understanding its purpose.

I do understand the purpose in requesting a resource from Alice that has no ip address associated to it. Say Bob and Alice are part of a network. Alice saves s file on one of the computers but has no idea which one. Bob wants that file. Hash Identifier protocol provides a standardized way to retrieve it. Using it, Bob makes a request to sll conputers and only one responds.

The RFC felt far more boring than this topic is. Technologies such as magnet uris and IPFS are your competition. I would argue that security is not the purpose for this though it can be used in conjuction. I believe this is far more effective for distributed systems

You define nature? I believe nature is defined by action which is intepreted after the fact or predicted before. Naturally we can also see a community such as hacker news has an effect on the wider population but likely not as strong of one that it, as a group, wants. But hacker news isnt one group but rather many voices that may or may not have similar objectives

That is nature

Edit: you do because you are apart of it. But your beliefs can influence but do not define nature

Do you want to live in a centralized world or one with competition? How do you support that?

I personally want to live in competition. I support that through allowing my appetites to lead me when making arbitrary choices rather than ceremonious dedication.

as a consumer, I want to feel important. I havent switched but gitlab is making me feel that way. Github makes me feel like I have no choice and Im stupid not to. What seems like the better relationship?

Very similar to lazy js[1]. Perhaps its of interest to you to get involved in that or pull some of their work

I want to contribute to this but there are a few things holding me back.

- usage of global instead of commonjs or es6 modues - using an uncommon build system makes me uncomfortable

- _.can instead of prototype or just object creation - I cant say I understand why.

What I want to do

- allow it to use multiple renderers - toString, DOM, blessed with the goal of image output and webworker proof of concept

- give promise support to get Initial State - when attempting isomorphism in react, creating components based off a database is a pain unless retreived before hand and passed from parent to child in often disgustingly deep manners. Simply allowing the return of a promise fixes this in many ways

Im left to question what ubers motive was. No use of a U. Not simular to any logo in the past. Logo easily can be confused with other applications. I dont think uber had ill will but I dont think they thought this through aside from "rebrand time". Really, this article just says what many people are thinking

Didnt realize you posted this. At the time it was empty

Successful in what regard? Financially? artistically? It was completed? A critical internet community criticized it? Successful is a very broad term. You may be correct, i just have no way to prove you are

If your looking for es5 promises are much easier to polyfill and much more competitive than generators

This product may die, however I believe competition and the fire to get what you want is more valuable than king making through bad reviews (whether intentional or unintentional). Tbh, Im not going to look at the product because Im more interested in terminal editors at the moment. But criticism should be used to enhamce a product, not degrade the blood sweat and tears that went into it

oracle is the only comparison I can remotely relate to what this individual is talking about. But heres the issue:

- githubs customer isnt opensource projects, its closed source. The masses moving away is a good thing

- as dependency on github increases, the larger of a liability for bigger companies. Google needs java for android, walmart needs npm for its servers, github likely has projects that are depended upon by bigger names though we would never know

- start ups and new comers likely hear about github before anything else. It is usually at the top for SEO. As this trend continues, dependence will only increase.

- are you able to break from github? At the moment, my community is the js community. There is a lot of crappy things happening in it but I cant stop using github, npm nor node. These are essential and convienient for me. Even if I agreed politically, realistically my workflow cannot change without waisting time.

I believe Im a libertarian intelligent coding machine like the rest of you. But this doomsday scenario sounds more like prayers than accurate predictions

I would argue we need more analysis tools for testing. Top programmers arguably just work the hardest, test the most and often focus on speed over readability. Being able to test something is much better imo

- grade school - list manipulation, loops, strings and if statements

- middle school - servers and clients, oop, types and validation

- high school - parsing, streams, byte code and efficiency

I appreciate this sentiment. Correct me if Im wrong but you are implying, if an individual understands how to command something or do a task, they have a realization of how the bigger picture works to some extent. I agree with this from a personal perspective. Are you interviewing individuals/doing this scientifically or is this a personal theory you test when given the opportunity?

I grew up making starvraft maps and warcraft 3 maps. Allowed me to believe in myself and grow a thick skin

I would argue some important concepts to understand are.

- programming is commanding a machine to do what they want.

- computers speak a non-english language so everything they write is translated before the machine follows it

- a machine is only limited to its hardware. You cannot save without a harddrive, you cannot communicate without an antenna of somesort.

Instructing a machine can come in a variety of forms

- Robotics - commands reinterpreted into physical movement

- User Experience - commands reinterpreted to produce graphics or sound

- Logical - Encoding and decoding, list management and prediction, mapping commands to actions, language grammer

If anyone disagrees or has more to add, let me know

In defense of github, they can create whatever culture they desire. Same with npm and every other company out there. If they succeed, they will be seen as a company who took ethics and equality very seriously. If they don't theyll be seen as racists and confused leftists.

They are making a big risk with no obvious gain (outside of hypothetical culture and numbers). But this is their risk to make. If it does well they will be considered heroes.

I suppose this is my generations basic : / Visual basic was my first language actually. It was pretty fun, built some cool stuff with it. I guess the web more free since people a share with and I dont need windows computers. And I dont need visual studio to make an application. When I first started with website dev I used to write in notepad because I didnt have the money for dreamweaver and I felt like I was joining the elite. Then I learned about notepad++ anf it felt like a very natural progression

This is different though. Javascript is something that all of us are, in one way or another, exposed to. Giant companies building an ecommerce platform, startups making fun and innovative spas, designers adding a bit of animation and adaptivity to a theme, bare metsl devs bringing javascript to robotics and operating systems, severside crud applications and websocket handling, C++ devs that are interesting in bringing the best to such a widely used language, mobile phones frameworks and compilers, microsoft, google, apple, unity, mozilla.

Javascript is the real deal. What makes it crazier is that 10 year olds can do a few tutorials on html5 rocks and feel confident in their abilities (in a good way). Javascript is not just a crappy language, there a socio-political aspect that has probably never been seen before

Site loading speed is very important

Again, I agree. Picture this: mocha gives testing globals, browser offers the window and dom, node offers process arguments. Coming from a partial teachers perspective (well, I wasnt hired to teach but I did talk to the students alot) gulp seemed to offer comfort and order in a world where "you can do anything" seems to cause imobilization. That problem I believe can be solved through introducing students to a philosophy of "you are in control, machines are dumb, only google can save you" but I can see where seperation makes people much more comfortable

Honestly, nationalism is a bit refreshing. By immigration what you then are implying white business individuals and/or non-japanese otaku would only be able to afford or figure out a way.

If you are thinking of poorer individuals. Why? Their business is doing well and what exports are not are likeky not solvable through a domestic workforce outside of marketing and/or tech.

If you want more babies in a country, I believe denmark had a much better idea than to enable immigration, do it for mom. The pioneers the country seem to already there. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/feb/01/japanese-...

I think there is a discussion to be had about supply, demand, capability, filtering and communication. Im personally fine with the unnecessary whos hiring since I ignore them. I also believe that y combinator has every incentive to enable these companies. But infuriating potential employees and validators of a product does not seem productive to ensuring high quality work

I selfishly want more people like you in the javascript ecosystem. I had a debate with a freind if mine about gulp. My argument is that all of these tools are useless since they can be done without them. If only certian tasks should be run, create a commander script that takes in amount of args and runs each of those tasks.

His argument is that these gulp and grunt files standardize build and test scripts. Now its something you can definitively check off a list and when looking at others code have a form of familiarity.

I personallt agree, complexity and extra wrappers around what is already working makes little sense. But there are reasons these types of frameworks exist

When implementing overloaded functions, explicitly defining an interface would allow for much easier debugging than testing it afterwards. Running tests (that can take up to seconds sometimes) is far less efficient than seeing the problem nearly immediately

Wasm may make this useless, but this is pretty exciting. After working with a Emscripten module recently I can tell you debugging it is a pain. Wrappers around internal functions. Destroying objects after you are done with them. Memory leaks start becoming a huge issue that were once fringe after thoughts.

Im very excited sbout competition in this space even if it becomes impractical

Not to validate his comment, but I cant imagine its all sunshine and rainbows

Did something similar about 10 months ago here https://github.com/formula1/NodeOS-Blog

I didn't realize hacker news had interest in these sorts of things, might have posted it
