Haven't you heard? There are tons of new JS framework being churned out annually, and each time it's hailed as the holy grail to all our problems.
Agreed. Without the professional communications class I took in college, I likely wouldn't have had the same success in my freelancing business.

Yes, an easy way to tell is it will also be light green/yellow. I only have experience with Comet brand from the campus store. It used to be kind of hard to find engineering paper at a decent price online, so I just stock up whenever I visit my alma mater. ~$20 for 500 sheets.
HD has nearly 200 between $300-$500. $400 isn't a shower head only available to the 1%'ers of the world. It's not your $40 basic shower head, but that's not the market they are going after.

Seems like the trade school component is being at least partially covered by the Bootcamps popping up. And just like some CS programs expect you to then go out and learn how to be a software engineer (usually via jobs), there's an expectation in these Bootcamps that then you'll go out and learn the deeper/broader CS components you missed out on (usually via jobs).
From push to git to live site in 6 seconds... Go is so fast.. One less reason to use traditional dynamic sites. Sites made with a modern static site generator, on a properly configured true CDN, perhaps with a dynamic widget or two, is so much faster, safer, simpler to optimise, and cheaper to scale than traditional php or .net sites that for most sites it's starting to not make sense to do anything else ..
New York Review of Books Fills a Niche by Reviving Forgotten Works
I also imagine that fresh civil engineering graduates also make pretty rubbish bridge designers. They still need a few years working in the industry to understand how actual bridge construction projects work in the real world. It seems unlikely that a couple of fresh Civil Engineering graduates from a hot school could set up a startup to disrupt the bridge-building industry and expect to successfully bid on major civil works projects.
The Web’s Most Maniacal Bargain Hunters
Actually I am, and coincidentally I have been joking with the same idea for several years.

In the last 2 years the idea became more tempting I investigated which kind of villages were in Spain and what kind of work was needed to make this work.

As you might expect as prices goes down utilities, accessibility and general connection to the world decreases. But it is also true that even if not with those outrageously low prices there are several villages with just a few thousand inhabitants, all the utilities you might need, low prices and just at 20 minutes from well connected airports and the capital.

From this September we are moving to one of those in the Southern coast of Spain and try to implement a really simple model in which part of the community bring in economic resources and the rest brings in quality of life, all in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible way.

The ones bringing in the economic resources at the beginning would be mostly developers like myself or designers. The reason for that is they can move and work remotely quite easily and they are quite frequently looking for some more colleagues to work with in their projects or Startups (again, like myself).

The quality of life is something abstract depending on the members of the community, it could be anything from organizing bootcamps or accelerators to yoga, paragliding or having a good chef cooking for everyone.

We haven't yet started to make all the work to promote this but if anyone is interested or would like to participate I'm here to answer any questions.
How does one enter coordinates on that device? I'd guess that as an offset from your location ("200m north of my position") might be the easiest way. If that's the case, then starting with a zero offset would be the logical choice.

You'd hope they would add some sort of safety to prevent this sort of thing, though.

To clarify, the loading case I mentioned is related to single page apps. The server isn't the one rendering the page when the loading indicator pops up, that's entirely a client side render ("isomorphic" being the ability to fully render on client or server side with the same codebase). The server doesn't need to stream a page with a loading indicator in the HTML. Being able to stream part of the app while data is loading (like the header) does seem like an interesting case, but it would only matter for the initial page load in an isomorphic SPA.

While I think it's unlikely you're going to convert me, I do appreciate your points.

I'm not so much against private-sector unions, I just don't think people should be forced to join the union when they don't want to. And I don't believe that unions are net plus for technological or economic progress.

Your paragraph about government regulation is hard to disagree with because it is so broad. Of course, I think everyone would agree that sometimes light touch regulation is necessary, but it's the "sometimes" and the "light touch" that becomes a problem. I'm honestly not sure what kind of point you're making here. I'm certainly not arguing for no regulation.

And as for getting far more value from taxes than what we pay, I guess that depends on what we pay. I guess I would disagree generally, but anyone making the claim that I, personally, will get more value from my taxes than what I pay is kind of laughable.

Certainly entitled to your opinions, but frankly what you've written just sounds like "Nothing's perfect, whatyagonnadoo?" I feel like I can do better.

That happens to you? Never happens to me. Either case.

At any rate, you can answer why when they ask you why.
This is turning into a classic unrecognized theoretical vs practical argument. I propose:

"Journalism could, and historically did, serve a vital function."

Exactly like horseshoe manufacturing. Just not today.

There's space for us both to be correct, in theory journalism, much like western civilization, would be a great idea to try, or maybe we had it in the past, or it would be an interesting goal for the future even if it never existed in the past beyond a mythical ideal, etc. While at the same time, in practice, we can pretty much flush the existing stuff and not miss it. For some definition of "us", we have already decided to ignore it and are not missing it. Some of the percentage of the population stats are pretty dismal.

It IS possible to gain value by debating the "why". I think you're indirectly correct WRT age (although I am quite a bit older than your theory) in that rolling all of media (including journalism) into roughly five giant corporations did very little for the quality of the craft, and the fish rots from the head down.
Can someone explain to me how are they using all JS (node incl server-side rendering) stack in a company that is known for using PHP on the backend ?

Do they have a specific PHP-to-Node bridge on the server side? If they write isomorphic code, either they are writing apps completely separate from PHP or they have some kind of integration (Node-in-PHP?) running?

I would be grateful for hints, I'm looking into working more with FB tech but I can't do Node on the server right now. Knowing how their architecture looks like with PHP/Hack on the backend would really help.
This looks awesome .. great job guys .. Just a question on licenses . Server is "GNU Affero General Public License v3.0" and drivers are "Apache License v2.0." , so in simple english does it means that can i use make commercial products with backend as RethinkDB? these things always confuses me so apologies if i ask something stupid here ..

cbsmith: I'm not sure what you mean ... using a traditional TLD means that you made the choice to add third party trust to your system. Adding the CA system just adds additional third parties that you have to trust.
Why didn't a single one of these hit the front? Is someone messing with them? I only found out about this because other sites were reporting it.
This also has the false dependency problem (using eax as the popcnt destination register three times), and neither one of your VC examples is using the 8 byte popcnt instruction.
Don't let me stand in the way of an opensource bundle promotion dealy-bopper, but all I meant was borrowing the concept that they use when you "buy" a bundle. Instead of letting a user directly download whatever free opensource widget you've made and hoping they donate, plant a big mean 'ole "are you going to buy that?" screen before the download link.

A free open bundle library would make this a lot easier, but if someone writes one, for the love of god, dogfood it! We can't have you starving in the streets while trying to make other altruistic developers money. ;)

This would be fantastic for the community. Obviously more startups/side projects are rejected from incubators/accelerators/hackathons/VCs than accepted...and none of them get feedback. It is very noble for a YC partner to use their time in this fashion to directly help the community.
I've been going through a lot of Khan Academy mathematics courses lately.

Oh, oh, how I wish I could have used graph paper for my math scratch paper in school. Writing out my work neatly is pretty much imperative for working through to the correct answer. I have a tendency to mis-transcribe from one step to another, and keeping everything neat helps with that.

Graph paper lets me line everything up not just horizontally but vertically, step by step, making it super obvious when I've accidentally, say, flipped a sign or missed a coefficient. All my math teachers in school insisted on wide rule, though...

I've managed a 25-year career out of using the right tool for the job. I focus on Windows, but I use Linux, OS X, etc. when it makes sense.

The flavors of Windows that you mention are part of a longer term story, and are really just two operating systems: Windows CE and Windows NT. Windows CE was important for targeting the small devices of the 90's era in which it was developed. Now we can run NT on the 'small' devices that we have today. I think that's pretty cool. Now we have Linux and NT (and FreeBSD, etc.) and we have more choices.

Having gone to college is not evidence that your opinion is any more important than anyone else's.

What matters is: what does the data say about GMO safety? Are your views informed by the consensus of scientific studies?

If not, then the position is still scientifically illiterate, even if the individual has a Masters degree.

Resisting vaccinations is also quite common among educated, affluent people.

The issue is precisely that we have an "educated" public (based on credentials) that is also scientifically illiterate.
I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with your point. I just thought it was a little disingenuous to say it was 62% of its actual retail price.
I would think around the first iPhone.

In my opinion, flat design was "invented" as a cost saving measure. In fact the design of all other things around us follows a similar pattern - complexity and "vestigial" features are being reduced.
The drawback to smaller droplets is that the larger surface area means they lose heat quicker, and so can consume more energy. The same problem occurs with those heads that put air into the center of each droplet.

I recommend trying out h2okinetic shower heads (now owned by delta in the US). They have channels that cause something similar to cavitation which then results in large droplets widely spread. It is like being in a rain storm. The result is feeling like more water is flowing than actually is, so flow rates can be reduced.

You have to run your own install script. It is more involved than deploying other things. I usually run a script to prepare the server first (for a generic secure setup, including LAMP) and then run the WP installing script (which is mostly Python working through sftp). It has taken a bit of time to figure this one out, because the generic secure setup requires constant upkeep. Its not something that you set and forget.
I think his suggestion is that he is drinking the Kool-Aid while internally questioning whether it is a good idea for him to be drinking the Kool-Aid. Which, I agree, is sort of a contradiction, but a parseable one.
Mozilla does this from time to time for really egregious cases [1]. There is a high cost to staging the block. If the author is known there is a delay to try to get the author to ship a fix [2]. If it is unknown then the block can proceed rather quickly but the cost of changing the extension to avoid the block is usually cheap [3].

Very cool. I've been wanting to get into machining for a while (haven't had the time yet) and I was planning to do that by building my own machines (foundry, precision lathe, milling machine, drill press,..etc) with the aid of Dave Gingery's books [0] but I am still not sure about them (they use imperial units, which I loathe and they might be outdated).

At a more general level:

> People have been saying tech X saves us from complexity for decades (OOP, noSQL, Knockout, Angular, etc...), and after a few years of use we realize it's not actually a magic bullet.

Throughout all your years of education, you were challenged the same amount. Doesn't mean you weren't doing/learning more.

X did save us from complexity. We just, continually, keep writing increasingly complex things.

Yesterday's sites were rendered on the server, with all state stored on the server. Today's are rendered on the client, buisness state on the server and rendering state stored on the client. Tomorrow's will distributedly store all data on the client; Think bit-torrent + encryption + web-rtc. Day After sites will be rendered on the server again; because we are now working with extremely "complex" 3D hologramed Apps.
> Google has less assets, half of the profit and half of the revenue of VW.

Most recent quarterly numbers are more like Google has 1/3 of the revenue of VW but 85% of the profits.

> Google has a higher valuation due to an investment bubble, not due to actual economics.

Even if it was due to an investment bubble rather than, say, rational expectations of stronger long-term growth based on market characteristics, well, investment bubbles are as much "actual economics" as anything else.
Wouldn't "save to assure content and viewpoint neutrality" cover the example you gave?
Their GraphQL server is written in PHP. They've made the reference implementation (graphql-js) in JS + the server in Express but they're not using that in production.

For server side rendering of the React app, they use https://github.com/reactjs/react-php-v8js (well they probably use a slightly customized version but this is what they open sourced).
How much does Linus and the CIA pay you to suck their dick?

I have to admit that I still sometimes instinctively feel an intense dislike for humorless, shrill, 'social justice warriors' or 'feminists' (using the word in the way I find it often used negatively around me).

I don't know why I react negatively, considering that I consider myself a feminist, but I suppose that's the whole point of something being 'instinctive'. It's a heuristic that may or may not make sense. But it's one borne of ignorance and the privilege of not having to think about these things (being a white, highly-educated male), and being surrounded by, I assume, upstanding males who don't rape, and upstanding white folk who are not racists.

it's posts like yours that remind me that my instincts can be wrong and harmful in practice, and while I'm free to feel as I feel, it's posts like yours, and stories from my friends, that shock me whenever I hear them, and that give me some perspective and make me realize my instinct is not a precious thing to protect or defend above everything else.

Please remember that it really helps to explain things the way you do. I'm not saying it's a responsibility to do so, or that not doing so gives 'us' the right to remain oblivious. Far from it.

I'm simply saying that practically speaking, posts like yours are much more helpful than blanket judgments and (perceived) knee-jerk outrage. It benefits everyone to try and paint a picture of a perspective that is not necessarily shared personally, however unnecessary it should be to do so.

I wish I was good enough to be sensitive all by myself, but the sad fact is that even I as a person with a sizable amount of close friends who are gay, bisexual, female, or minorities (in every sense of the word), can forget that not everyone shares my rather privileged perspective.

And it's really helpful for me to be reminded that, say, a rape joke might not be a problem for me, but that it might be a problem in a larger context where rapists justify their actions by it.
That have been my thought until yet too. However with a rapidly shrinking cpm and a a growing adblocker usage the easy times of adsense are coming to an end imho.
In many cases, yes. Otherwise it implies that no one in counseling ever commits suicide. It happens. Ignoring that helps nothing. Notice that I said many, not all nor most, but you put extra focus on it as if I did.

It is true, but I'll admit it's not true for everyone. People's reasons for suicide can be quite complex and often times no one but the person knows or understands the reasoning. To change behaviors without addressing the root causes of the behavior provides the possibility of the behavior returning. It's much the same with alcoholism and drug addiction.

How is this discussion related to the original article that didn't bring this subject matter up? It's related because suicide rates came up in the discussion and I stated that I'm personally more worried over soldiers returning from war who receive next to no help versus students who agonize getting counseling over what classes they should take next semester. If a student is depressed and considering suicide because they feel they are failing themselves, their parents, or whatever to the point of considering suicide, then I want help available for them. But then, no one here has said anything about being against that, right?

The misfeature demonstrated (adaptive app search) is implemented by sending the query to the company mentioned. It's not a secret. See this article for example:

Edit:
You're right that it's not mentioned in the video. That's part of the problem; it's obviously something people care about and would like to be informed of.

Here is one bug report discussing it - and a "fix" involving stopping the queries in some very specific cases: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082787
