Western Cynical: McLuhan Unclaimed (2018)
summary / teal-deer:

Provocative author says: you never need semicolons in JS, so don't feel you have to use them. Free your mind from the cargo cult. Provocative author admits that you do need them to get something like this to parse correctly:

a = b + c
(d + e).print()

And then recommends using semicolons in this way:

a = b + c
;(d + e).print()

</summary>

Frankly, I'm not persuaded.

I am Portuguese and currently live in the UK, and have lived in the Netherlands and Sweden too. My brother has lived in Belgium. Housing in Portugal compared to any of these -> not shit.

I am sorry you have such a bad experience in Portugal regarding housing but it is not reflective of reality.

The only thing that is clearly worse as I mentioned is the insulation, but as I mentioned in other comments that is in part consequence of the weather and countries in northern Europe have the opposite problem in the summer.

Don't confuse your inability to pay for good housing with the entire country having shit housing.

I agree the public health system sucks compared to all the other countries I have been to. Good private sector clinics work much better though. I can also give a personal example, a few years ago I had an ACL tear and waited 3 months to even have an MRI in the public system, I gave up and got it done in a few days in a private clinic, got an appointment with a top orthopaedic surgeon in a week and a proposal to do an ACL reconstruction the next week.

I agree on the bureaucracy/corruption part and that it is not a country to earn money, it is a country to spend it (there is a reason why I and so many other Portuguese work abroad).

Node is actually much slower than Java. True, the JavaScript implementation on the JVM is slower than V8 (even Nashorn, the new JavaScript engine included in Java 8). Of course, the main motivation is, as others have said, integration with the huge Java ecosystem, but being able to drop down to Java for performance (when you need it) is a lot easier than writing native V8 modules.

I don't think the argument has to do with speed of typing; that is a minor concern, since the bottleneck is thinking of what to type in the first place. The issue is the intelligibility of the resulting program. That probably sounds counterintuitive, because people always say that long explicit names make code more readable—but this is only true of code locally. It is not true of programs as a whole. Using long names makes programs longer, as does factoring out subsections into functions and naming those functions. A longer program is harder to understand than a shorter one, and the delta expands non-linearly as system size grows. There's a deep tradeoff here, much deeper than the popular discourse around software development has ever accounted for.

You can see this come up in the OP where the author introduces functions (listAttachment and attachmentInfoLineToAttachmentId) into the example without including their definitions, which would probably double the size of the example.

If you have a rich set of orthogonal, composable primitives, you can do powerful things in a line or two that would require 10x or even 100x more code in other environments. The tradeoff is that you have to actually learn the primitives to the extent that you become like a craftsman in a workshop whose tools are all at hand and who can reach for each one as needed without thinking. If you don't know the primitives, of course that line or two will be inscrutable.
Another way of putting this is that investors value optionality and will maintain it if you give them the option to. If you tell someone you're raising $1,000,000, and they'd be the first $25K in, many will tell you to come back when you have more committed. Exceptions exist, but these will require strong opinions and commitment, something not every angel has (especially in the context here of intro'd people, ie people you don't already have relationships with).

It's also demand-generating if you have the forcing function of closing. If you target $300K and you've got $250 closed and are actively fundraising, it sends a signal of urgency and also creates a sense of momentum that even investors conscious of this effect can't help being influenced by.

You shouldn't randomly take an investment amount that is less than meaningful though; I would re-state this axiom as figure out the minimum amount of funding you'd be prepared to close on, and start out seeking that rather than more; adjust as necessary and as opportunity presents itself.
Amen. The entire idea of having one person wireframe a layout and someone else "design" it is broken.

Just because some people will do something doesn't mean everyone will. Many people would protest having to provide government ID to buy sneakers.

Even if it scares off 1 person why does a retailer want to do that, pay the money it costs. and deal with the optics of being the ones asking for federal ID to buy shoes when they can literally just not instead.

Like I said above, demand is so far above supply it doesn't matter if 100% of sales go to scalpers anymore, they'll still sell out, and the aftermarket will still eat it up, no matter how bad they feel about not being able to get drops directly.
Basically, the const-generics feature gives the programmer the ability to create fixed-size custom types that doesn't allocate on the heap. For example, with current Rust you can't make your own generic fixed-size hashmap (as in FixedSizeHashMap<K, V, N: uint>, where N is the maximum number of keys you can use) that doesn't use the heap, since you can't use size-parameterized arrays in structs. Although this isn't a big deal for most general programming purposes, it still matters a lot in domains like embedded/HFT/gamedev/simulation where minimal latency is incredibly important. It's also important when you want to create any sort of linear algebra library (such as Eigen). For me const-generics is an important dealbreaker when choosing between Rust and C++ (where C++ already had the ability to do this for decades).

I've recommended people stay far away from arrow for many years now. The basic problem is on their "features" list:

> [the standard library has] too many types

No. That's just not at all true. In fact I would argue it's the opposite. You can make some very bad mistakes in python with dates because they silently coerce into each other in nonsensical ways. Arrow makes this much worse. A date is not the same as the millisecond at the start of thst date!
I was really excited about Visual Studio for a chance at Coffeescript intellisense, however I learned after the several gig download it wasn't supported. It seems there is basically no way to get proper autocomplete in any editor for CS, suggesting maybe I should just consider Babel for ES6/7 despite my massive love for CS and giant projects built in it.
What do you mean by specialized?

Don't know the equivalent of flatten in Haskell, but if you want a signature then it is something like:

def flatten(m: M[M[A]]): M[A]

Or another way of thinking about it ...

flatten(m) == flatMap(m)(x => x)

So basically, in order to define a monad, implementing flatMap is equivalent to implementing flatten. And I think that "flatten" as a verb is very intuitive, although intuitiveness is subjective since it's tightly related to familiarity - but flatten has been used in many languages as an operation available for collections and it works for monads in general just as well.
I agree, I would also add that Paxos seems exceptionally hard to get it right or at least this was what I saw so far in popular projects (i.e. Cassandra) that use it.
Sports as well. You can't have journalists cover all lower league games, but an aide has to write a log about plays, which you can use to generate some metrics and generate something that fits roughly the right tone. (example that does advertise it: http://statsheet.com/ does this for basketball)
That's an awful recipe for overworked employees within a short time, unless the formula was only one small part of how managers were ranked. Anonymous management satisfaction surveys getting factored in would be a good start.

I've always wondered if a very broad range of metrics gathered at all times, and a constantly changing formula picked at the last moment, coupled with an explicitly-written policy that if everyone hit the selected high mark then everyone would get rewarded Lake Woebegone-like, would avoid people working towards the formulae.

For the stuff inside the split infinitive,
it can to tough to know where else to put it.

So, what would we want?

"Boldly to go where ..."

or

"To go boldly where ..."?

To be really clear that 'boldly' modifies
'to go', it's easiest to split the infinitive.

I think there is a fundamental difference between the two groups about how much simplification/inaccuracy can be accepted.

The TV producer would take 90% fact, 5% oversimplification, and even 5% misleading info all day every day.

The experts probably won't accept that. This is not to say they are unable to simplify things (which as you said, is a very crucial skill on its own) if asked, they just won't go ahead and actively publish anything that way.

I personally side with TV producers here as soon as they have good intention. But can see why other people think otherwise.
Nix has a heavy learning curve and requires learning the language to feel comfortable. However, overcoming that hump is incredibly rewarding and allows for taming your system in a way that, for me at least, changed the way I look at composing software.

At mindbuffer[1] we've started using it for our recent art installations. The big benefits for us are reproducibility, ease of deployment, and the ability to collaborate on the composition of the whole system. I.e. rather than sharing a README of how to install things one by one and hoping each of us has followed it correctly, we just work on the same set of config files via a git repo (like we would any other code) and can be sure we're all on the same page as a result.

Very much looking forward to Nix 3.0 landing with all its UI improvements and flake support. It seems like these changes will go a long way to making Nix more accessible, and provide a smoother on-ramp to learning the language itself.

So _Last Week Tonight_ does longer-form, more in-depth comedy reporting? That actually seems like a terrific mix, and definitely a hole in the market. People want to be entertained and informed, and while _Colbert_ / _Daily Show_ provide good breadth, we need good depth as well.
Try to put yourself in the shoes of the interviewer. You got to interview lots of clueless people who call themselves programmers but are unable to do the simplest task. Once you spoke with enough people like that, the first thing you want to do is weed out the people who can't program, hence the FizzBuzz question.

Now, I am sure that you, skuhn are able to do those simple things, but the guy interviewing you doesn't know it. If he asks you a simple question that you can nail in 5 minutes, and answer "sorry dude, your question is so easy I find it offending", the interviewer will think you're an arrogant douche - that's how I would feel at least. Instead, just solve the problem he's asking you and move on.

If after that he keeps asking stupid questions, well, it's a different story and you probably wouldn't fit well in that company.

It's effectively the same thing as Cunningham and Costa themselves saying they would pursue a ULP charge. It's just that in labor cases, the NLRB screens complaints first and then steps in to represent the complainant for complaints that are credible.

That is not a final determination, though: the piece of paper that Cunningham and Costa held does not say that the NLRB will find that Amazon did engage in a ULP and exact a penalty. It merely says that an NLRB attorney will represent Cunningham and Costa in resolving the matter.

I think most companies would love to work remotely if it was effective. They save money on rent and save on commute time and other expenses.

But the reality is that not 100% of people can work remote, so by going 100% remote, you're limiting the number of people you can hire.
