That would be really useful for some things. Quite a burden to put on the library implementors though!

This is what people often do apart from the last point (no undefined in JSON, and by definition anything you could choose here would conflict with valid values). This works well for a lot of use cases but can't express everything you might want to do with something like JSON-Patch.

> only few of us have the time and patience to interact with Debian on a voluntary basis.

This might present a problem if they actually do try and fork it. I imagine it would take more time a patience to run a competing fork than to interact with current Debian.

Not that a fork is necessarily the wrong thing to do if your ideas of what Debian should be differ enough from where it's going. It's just that it sounds like it would be a fair amount of work :)

SEEKING WORK - Brighton, UK. London, UK. Sheffield, UK. Remote.

From apps to robots, I can help you get it built!

I can help you with software development myself and for larger projects, or projects requiring more diverse skills, I have an excellent team.

Recent projects include an internet controlled football playing robot and various other Python, JavaScript and hardware projects.

I'm based in Brighton in the UK (50 minutes from London) but I'm also spending a little time each month in Sheffield if your up that way.

A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV, D3.js, Arduino.

But ECMAScript is a mouthful to say and sounds a bit like a skin condition, I don't think that's ever going to become the common name people use for it.

I don't think you could make a IP firewall that enforced read-only either, at least not in a general case.

It's the fact that you're using the same cable to charge and for data (which is also one of the things that makes USB really useful), now add that the devices tend to not to be hugely secure and to just trust whatever they've plugged into (or at least trust after popping up an easy to miss dialog) and you have a (potential) problem.

Enabling for read-only in the general case simply wouldn't be possible. The device would have to know every USB protocol that could possibly be spoken and which commands are for reading and which for writing (and what to do with commands that do both).

You could maybe make now that only worked for USB storage devices and only allowed reading, but it would likely be complex and have other downsides (lack of performance and compatability issues probably) that would make it not worth it.

You can get a certain amount of power from USB without a data connection but to get more (which higher powered devices need to charge quickly or, in some cases, at all) you need to send a data signal to request it. So cutting those wires sort of works but will leave you with slow charging for some devices and no charging for a few others.

Maybe give some examples? The question just seems odd to honest.

I'm available to do work myself but I also have some great people I work with if you need things quicker or with an even wider range of skills.

I work a lot with Python (often with Django) and JavaScript (Node.JS and browser) to build rich client browser based and mobile apps. I also do hardware based projects, I have experience with coding in Assembly and C on various micro controllers and Arduino development.

Some fun stuff I've made recently:

- A solver written in Haskell for the regular expression crossword puzzle that was going round recently https://github.com/almost/regex-crossword-solver

- An open source JavaScript library I wrote: https://github.com/dharmafly/jsonpatch.js

The wooden model "works", eg they all touch. But it could be slightly less than perfect and you wouldn't be able to tell, mathematicians care about these things :)

Hi there, I hadn't seen wepay before and it looks really interesting. Do you have a page that sets out exactly what risks there are when building a marketplace with your system? I see that you guys say you protect from fraud with an anti-fraud system but presumably fraud will happen sometimes and I'm wondering who gets the bill when it does.

PayPals API certainly isn't the worst but it's pretty awful. So much pain doing PayPal integrations. I assumed it just kind of happened but I'm shocked if you guys thought it was good... See Stripe for an example of not to abuse your API users.

You guys look cool, are you US only though?

I've worked with Nic and would highly recommend him, very practical and resourceful. If you need anything related to hardware then give him a try!

Yep, I saw that little guy blinking away and had to know more...

If you're a freelancer you're always "seeking work", even when you have a good amount of work currently it never hurts to have more :)

It's interesting to see implementations of algorithms in languages. Terrain generations is a fun problem with a few algorithms and nice visible results.

Maybe you should consider showing some stuff that you've made instead of being snarky about stuff that other people have made and shown.

Hello stripe people, any plans to add some kind of facility for micro-payments anytime soon?

This is very similar to the workflow I use with gmail. I use a slightly different means to achieve it though, I use Active Inbox (http://activeinboxhq.com) which is a plugin for Gmail. It helps with GTD stuff by giving "Statuses" such as Action, Waiting On and Some Day to messages (they're just labels underneath but it gives them a nice UI) and I use it to display my actioned messages next to my inbox via a feature called Radar.

That's all well and good but so far it's only what the author has done (but with, IMHO, a nicer and easier to use UI). What Active Inbox does that isn't possible without a plugin is it adds notes and "next steps" to emails, it's easiest to explain with a screenshot:

http://awesomescreenshot.com/08225ii5e9

Full disclaimer: I have been paid to add features to Active Inbox (including some of the ones I've mentioned and very cool upcoming keyboard control thingy) but I was a happy customer before that happened.

Cntrl when pressed with another key, Esc when pressed and released on its own. Perfect.

I think it meant if an american drone strike hit an american wedding.
