Yes, until I outgrew my egg allergy, I could not take certain vaccines. I was too young to remember which ones I could not take. I suppose that I relied on herd immunity for those specific diseases.

I understand that bonuses are supposed to be performance based compensation. But if this guy is claiming that he's consistently performant and has a great reputation, maybe that portion of his compensation should have been moved from bonus to base. I can't blame him for leaving, but I also can't really sympathize with him for thinking any portion of the bonus was guaranteed.

This is great. I have some small background in real time embedded systems, but I think that 99% of the "internet of things" need not be written in low-level C. I'll probably pick this up...

...however, I do hope that they can bring down the price for future models. $100 is a bit steep for a hobby project to control my AC. For now, I understand that the premuim is rewarding the software effort.

The API expects triangles, but it is implemented to always use buffers under the hood. Basically, mesh data of 10 triangles with 4 attributes per vertex is converted to 4 buffers, each of length 30.

John here. Having language-glsl available on hackage was a boon for the features in this release. Thank you!

Pretty simple solution - legislation that explicitly classifies as fair use the copying of the SSO, the Structure, Sequence, and Organization, of an API for the purposes of interoperability

Well, personally, I'm still paid in dollars. And dollars can already be used in all of these places.

Make an enterprise offering. Ops teams would kill for this.

So, insider trading essentially.

Do both parties need the professional license? What if I want my clients to be able to send me their documents.

Don't you mean a PR on the Chromium project?

I wonder if there are similar statistics for NYC? I'd guess pretty similar to London.

Well there is certainly scarcity, and I don't think an isolationist approach will help. We need to protect the H1Bs and equivalents coming to our countries; give them better rights, increase their leverage. This will make it harder for employees to drive down their, and by extension our, salaries. This is because foreign and domestic workers are substitute goods from an HR perspective.

Two reasons. The first, to which you allude, is that those who make the rules are trying to stay in their jobs. It's a symptom of democracy. The second is that these are all knobs one can turn to fine-tune incentives of behaviors; cost complexity isn't inherently bad.

What about ultrasonic positioning?

Is there a better word for using non-free software without a license?

Some of us believe that broadband should be considered a public utility, in which case it is appropriate to subject providers to these regulations.

Nice simple demo Sridatta!

Nobody likes the tilde-arrow lift syntax! The last line could be rewritten as follows. Does anybody think it's better or worse? I tend to prefer it, though many don't like it.

    main = lift2 display Window.dimensions <| lift renderState gameState

    main = display <~ Window.dimensions ~ (renderState <~ gameState)

Signals exhibit the characteristics of an applicative functor, after all, so pure functions of any arity can be lifted without needing to think if you're using lift2, lift3, etc.

A few disparate points: The Elm runtime is an implementation of CFRP, where the C stands for concurrent. The primitives already exist for convenience, and can be transformed by pure functions, or new ones can be defined using the FFI.

Your observation isn't new, most Elm games' signal graphs have the same shape - a bunch of input signals merged into one, the 'main' loop as a step state, and the drawing code.'

In particular, which kinds of Signal combinators do you feel are lacking?

There should be an organization that provides a seal of approval to apps, something like IAP-free, marketed similar to gluten-free foods, et. al.

Do you think that there will ever be widespread/mainstream client-side control of the web like this? Where it was the norm that, say, 90% of web users blocked ads and analytics? Would it be good or bad?

> I don't understand why it's so hard for people to consider that when social changes are introduced, some of the current ways we value things will change, and current judgements can't necessarily be used as a gauge for future behavior.

Ceteris paribus is quite prevalent in economic discussion.

What's the major difference, may I ask?

The lay user is probably more likely to install a chrome extension than code. Then again, I don't know if greasemonkey has gotten more lay-friendly recently.

Posted at 9am EST on a Saturday? This won't be a fair fight for a few hours.

It's not the best tool for the job, but it's still a hack. Lighten up. Should all CSS demos come with this disclaimer now?

Powerful short (micro) story! Yet one must suspect that life would have found its own way.

But the browser could simply do verified transaction signing using known code. It severely lowers the trust barrier.

Probably the widely-help belief that anybody can come up with statistics for anything.

What's so striking to me is that the barriers to prototyping these peripherals for general purpose use has been lowered significantly. It was not long ago where it took days of hacking to connect a Wiimote to your PC, and even then you probably wouldn't get full functionality.

Good work and thanks for sharing!
