Given that google has proven pretty indifferent to who its robots run over, one wonders why we should trust them to build self driving cars.

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

heh... I thought we were talking about an Immigration and Customs Enforcement car.

Arbitrarily relocatable furniture tends to be made of steel and weigh 300 lbs. I think the extended metaphor works for software as well.

Is there a way to run e.g. an email server on Sandstorm?

Last time I looked it seemed like that would never be supported because it would violate the sandstorm business model, which, as I understand it, appears to be selling very cheap hosting of grains, made possible because only disk resources are used when an grain is not currently in use.

This would seem preclude the hosting of services that need to be running all the time in the background.

This seems like a good use case for a PAC. Maybe you could get Netflix et al. to pitch in?

Why should they preach to the converted?

It's absolutely a fair criticism. The real DOM is stateful, elm's virtual DOM is not, and elm doesn't provide any tools to manipulate the state of the real DOM. This impedance mismatch is bound to cause problems any time you are dealing with the stateful aspects of the DOM. And solutions like the one linked to by GP are error prone and fragile.

Re: the commas, see the Free Modifier example from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma#Parenthetical_phrases

The commas are not ideal, but neither are they ungrammatical.

Try this:

Imagine an image split vertically down the middle. The left side of the image is solid black. The right side is the right half of your mom's face.

Does that make it easier? It does for me.

Alex Miller is collecting information on impact of clojure's slow startup time. For that and some good discussion of the causes of clojure's slow startup time see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/clojure/MG8UTcgFhYc/lB...

clj-refactor is coming along quite nicely...

I develop on linux vm running on a windows host, I've found VMWare to be considerably more stable and slightly more performant than virtualbox.

> Cost of the actual computer is not the problem. All of these $50, $20, $5 computers conveniently ignore that fact that you also need $150+ for a monitor

Chip has an answer to that.[1] Not sure whether it is really usable enough for kids to work on, but I'd did a lot of work on my TI calculator, which didn't even have a qwerty keyboard.

The theoretical maximum money supply is 21 million. The actual amount of money in circulation can still vary wildly as keys to wallets containing bitcoins are lost (resulting in a permanent reduction of the maximum money supply) and as speculators cash out (resulting in a temporary increase in the effective money supply).

At least on Windows slack has pretty terrible performance. I wish i could go back to hipchat. I regularly experience perceptible lag when typing, which doesn't happen anywhere else.

EDIT: This is a fairly recent problem. A month or two ago, I had never experienced this.

Those others felt compelled to contribute because John refused to specify MD with anything other than a incomplete blog post and a buggy perl implementation. If this isn't an example of community involvement exceeding maintainer willingness to advance the project, I don't know what is.

Javascript is typed, it just makes a lot of crazy decisions about what operations an operator does.
