Note the VERY small type disclosure at the end: "Disclosure - Oracle and Salesforce are premier partners at time of writing".

I think you need to clarify your question. Are you asking what the scope of a USD1M+ / year software contract would be? Large internationals easily pay the SAP and Oracles USD1M+ / year in maintenance alone.

Yeah, but then SpaceX.

Why does everything BO build have to be so fugly? Don't they care, are they not good enough that they can make it pretty and achieve their technical goals at the same time or are there hard constraints that dictate the ugliness?

"inherently safe" - for which definition of "safe"?

Not the Graham you might think.

I am all for being very cautious regarding Oracle, the license situation is fairly straight forward http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html

No.

I wish it could be shipped from Europe too. Shipping makes it prohibitively expensive.

Well neither is solidity. If they had maybe talked to someone who understands contracts prior to creating the language, they would not be in this mess.

Did you not read the title?

I am sure you did. That doesn't make it any less misleading.

That's Maersk Line, which is the container shipping division of Maersk. The rotor sails are being installed on a tanker vessel from Maersk Tankers. Deck space is a valuable commodity on a container vessel, so not as obvious where to place the rotors.

No.

Not in the industry.

Wind turbines, they are not milling anything. One would have hoped that a paper like NYT would something as basic as that right.

Never left.

"The Box" is a great book. If anyone is into podcasts I can recommend this Omega Tau episode http://omegataupodcast.net/146-container-shipping/ Full disclosure: I am one of the persons being interviewed.

I think what baffles the mind is, that a state law is required to ensure this in the land of the free. How did things evolve to a state where this is necessary?

Surprising that they do not address the issue of derivative works for instance in relation to the EPL. The documentation correctly states that modifications to EPLed code must be made available. But it is also the case that any work that in itself is a derivative work of EPLed code must also be licensed under the EPL.

I would look to Clojure / ClojureScript. Suggest you start here https://www.braveclojure.com/foreword/ and when you feel fairly comfortable you can proceed to https://github.com/metosin/compojure-api for a solid approach to building a web API.

This strikes me as pretty arrogant coming from a company who has - arguably - already lost one race to Tesla, at least from a technical perspective.

Because parse is a embedded DSL you have access to all of rebol/red which lets you easily generate/interpret code. As an example here is a BF interpreter: https://gist.github.com/dockimbel/7713170

Quoting from the red docs:

  So, in short, what is Parse? It is an embedded DSL (we 
  call them "dialects" in the Rebol world) for parsing 
  input series using grammar rules.

I mean, how can you not love:

  expr:    [term ["+" | "-"] expr | term]
  term:    [factor ["*" | "/"] term | factor]
  factor:  [primary "**" factor | primary]
  primary: [some digit | "(" expr ")"]
  digit:   charset "0123456789"

Here you go: https://gist.github.com/chomy/003deea83b5a13ad1ee3

That would very much depend on your goal. Do you just want credit, do you want to try to monetize the algorithm, or something else entirely?

HTML as strings in the middle of your program - yuck! same applies to JSX by the way.

I don't understand how this is possible in 2017. It is like they are reinventing PHP.

What is he referring to with the "The photons stop acting like photons at 77Ghz we at least need the geeks on our side and start calling the BS out." comment?
