Absolutely beautiful. I think these stories are also a way to balance our feelings with the conflict we face/hear of. We'll always be hearing of/facing harsh issues prevalent in the world, and we need to maintain our hope. Stories like this one help us do just that.

"Scala has a lot of rough edges already around getting a build environment, SBT pain, IDE environment pain" I never had this issue with Scala. Maybe because I'm an independent dev, but regardless, I had scala, sbt, emacs, and g8 ready within 5-10 minutes.

It's all good. So in my experience, I had issues getting my development environment up to speed at work. We had dependency files, but weren't well maintained. I made Combo so that a Dev-team could easily share a file with other workers and bring their engineers' dev environments up to speed in a few minutes. Furthermore, open source projects could distribute their "Combofiles" with ease, grow their contributor base, and focus more on development than menial issues.

Besides, the main goal of Combo is to eventually join "pip" or take on all the capabilities of pip.

To those who look at this, this is my first "official" Python project. I really need help with test suites and whatever. But alas, the package manager works well enough. All feedback is appreciated.

This last sentence is such an important message. Your use with substances--even if they have benefits--should never take over your life.

Well to play it safe would give them the chance to see another object in space that's millions of miles away (and one which we probably won't see up close for another 10-15 years). I don't know how much longer New Horizon's will be still functional though.

Just to add on, think of how much more centralized the company's model becomes. A self-driving car probably won't depend on third-party drivers and Uber can start intaking a lot more cash from its services (of course, maintenance and such costs may increase).

If someone could answer, when a startup starts to exponentially gain traffic (and the server costs start going up), how does the startup maintain their servers and purchase new instances (say the startup is running EC2 ones)? Will the startup start taking on debt or will it look for funding or both?

Part of the issue is that many people are ready to perceive themselves as correct before perceiving another as correct. So the U.S. divides into numerous positions with everyone casting blame on others and making unsubstantiated generalizations. And progress then becomes elusive.

Well isn't this just a slap on the wrist? Wouldn't it make sense for the FCC to increase fines to deter other companies from malicious practices?

I'm sure many engineers overlook the "guy who knows a guy" situation. The whole car itself is one giant system that works in unison; practically everything in that car IS connected. Which obviously means everything is accessible one way or another. Isolation is not really isolation as isolation more than likely depends on something.

How quickly would the 707 drop in altitude while doing a barrel roll? And did he need a minimum speed to be able to successfully do it (sort of like an escape velocity)?
