I agree that when Google came out it was far better than its competitors.

Facebook is a bit different in that the market they went after was the right one not that their product was that much better. Zuck may have been lucky at the start, but he soon realised that he was on the right path and stuck to it.
Went to the second link, and got the real story. It was an isolated, rare problem. The EPA mandate makes sense. Only these three lakes had high levels of bromate in 2007? I was picturing my beloved lakes filled with plastic.

"reservoirs exposed to sunlight are now rare. The area's reservoirs -- Silver Lake, Ivanhoe and Elysian -- first registered elevated levels of bromate between June and October 2007.

But state health officials said the dangers were minimal because bromate poses a small cancer risk only after consumed daily over a lifetime."
AFAIK, Arc is built on Racket already.
"And unfortunately when you are a public company, your responsibility on this front is to your shareholders, not to your employees."

I don't think it's as clear cut as that.

Isn't blindly cutting costs just effectively destroying company infrastructure?

"However as a public company, constant growth is a must."

But just laying people off does not guarantee growth.

That said, I have no idea how the company is structured or operates. Sometimes laying people off is kinda necessary, i.e. a company with a factory that manufactures product X, suddenly there is no market for X , and the factory cannot be reconfigured to create profit - yeah, that's clear cut.

IMO, generic sweeping statements like "removing n percent of personnel is necessary to cut costs" is impossible to gauge in negative or positive light without detailed understanding of the business or it's operations.

Yeah, money ruins everything eventually.

My first true dev gig was for a really fun company. I was self taught at my previous engineering job, and the Web was happening so I took a junior position for $X/year.

Then I got better fast. Turns out I wasn't actually all that junior to start with, but soon it was apparent that I was shipping things a lot faster than anybody else on the team. After a good year of this I took a look around the market and figured out where I would probably fit in it. I asked the company to bring me up to $2X to get me closer to where I belonged.

They debated, scraped, and eventually found a way to offer me $1.3X. I was gutted. This was a really fun job, with fun people. But they were not planning to pay market rates, so in the end it was an easy decision.

I sent off a couple emails, and a week later accepted another really fun job, with even more fun people, for a little more than $2X.

So yeah, a nice relationship soured because fun is fun but at the end of the day, it's not worth leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table for. Especially when there's plenty of fun to be had elsewhere that doesn't ask you to make that tradeoff.
That was not on thinkpads.
I'm a guy who thinks we should have pushed forward with Assembly, C, and Lisp as the stack for everything. You always have a good tool for the abstraction level you need.
I think this is more just about the wording, but a choice of "enjoyable or not" doesn't make much sense to me. If I'm after something really original, I'll enjoy it because it's original. I "enjoy" watching sad documentaries. A split between enjoyable or not is equivalent to "do you want a film you will like" to me. The converse of most of the options seem like universally negative ways of describing a film. Changing enjoyable to fun would make more sense to me, I'm definitely sometimes in the mood for fun films and other times in the mood for serious films. I may also choose between simple and complex films, for example.

To be more constructive, to emphasise the tradeoffs, perhaps you can't have everything maxed out? Force more of a decision between things.

It's important to separate fact from fiction regarding TLDs and to ask the question, "Will the new TLDs matter to marketers and consumers?".

Consumers generally know that .fr is for pages in France and that .ca is for Canada. However, I know it's not perfect, as a study from Moz suggests that nearly 25 percent of Americans can be tricked into thinking that .ca is for California; so they knew that the TLD was for a region, but guessed the wrong region.

Similarly, people know that a .tv site will be about a television show, .edu is for schools, that .org pages tend to be for non-profits. The .edu and .org are the two TLDs that carry the most meaning for consumers. Searchers know that .edu resources will be more reliable since they are from schools and not from businesses. And people associate .org with organizations, groups or non profits with goals other than profit. Many people don't realize that .com itself is short for "commercial" which was chosen in the early days of the internet to identify the sites that weren't the traditional school or government based web pages that first populated the nascent world wide web.

(rant continues in comment)
The challenge for these new TLDs is that though people can use them to quickly understand the purpose of a site, consumers don't inherently trust sites with unusual TLDs more than ones with more traditional endings, and that's insane. Completely insane.

And despite what people say, I strongly believe all TLDs have the same intrinsic value if the right SEO is implemented.

I don't think reinventing is quite right, reimplementing more like it.

Remember the thing that Microsoft was afraid of for the Web? A middle layer that makes your OS mostly irrelevant.

It took a roundabout way but we're getting there. Extremely high performance virtual machines that are all fairly compatible, are deployed across a vast range of operating systems and devices today.

Together with an UI toolkit that renders fairly similarly across all these devices.

Technically this maybe can't do things that a single computer couldn't do ages ago, but now every computer can run that code. And via LLVM you can compile almost anything to js.

And with a much better security model than "download random exe and run" as well.

The sneering merely shows that you haven't really thought about what is going on here.

> If we rely on fusion to save us then we're thoroughly fucked

As far as I understand, it's a problem of funding and bureaucracy problems rather than technology.

We're thoroughly fucked already, the only thing that changes now, is how deeply fucked are we, to pardon by French.

People are unjustifiedly afraid of fission, wind and solar are unreliable and come with a carbon cost. Fusion ticks all the right fields - self-containing, stable (barring catastrophes), cheap and highly energetic.

Question is - is it easier to sway people on nuclear power or to get fusion ready?
looking forward to seeing this run realtime in games :)

Mexico - We have three several different levels of police, like many other
countries. Federal, state, municipal, transit and ministerial among others
(there are certainly more but this are the ones that you encounter for the
most part.). The general view varies wildly between each different level.

Federal police: They are generally considered to be highly educated individuals
so they have a certain amount of respect among civilians, most people feel
comfortable around them and will trust them in case of an emergency.

State police: They are kind of iffy, particularly in my state you generally
don't get to see ordinary state officers patrolling the city, but the
state police has a famed SWAT team that is staked out at the state border 24/7
and will sometimes be seen patrolling around the city at night. Even though
it has been a couple of years, they still have this terrible reputation
that where ever they go something (not nice) is probably going to go down.
A few years back they were always early whenever large shootout broke out,
so now people are wary of them.

Municipal police: They are generally viewed as lazy uneducated people, and
have a certain fame of being rude, corrupt (although, they aren't particularly corrupt),
and unhelpful which is certainly warranted. Most people don't feel
comfortable calling them.

Transit police: They are known for preying on the most vulnerable in an attempt
to make some quick bucks, some are quite cheeky, most are rather subtle.

Ministerial police: They have a reputation of rampant corruption, and depending
on where you lie on the socio-economic ladder, you are either not scared at all of
them or you are absolutely terrified about having to deal with them.

YMMV.
A very small profit in decline, if they do nothing about it they are likely to go into the red, which will end up causing even more lay-offs.

Even historically business have been motivated by profit and increasing said profit. This is nothing new and certainly has nothing to do with MBAs. No private (i.e. not state run) business has ANY obligation to employ more people than they need/want just for the sake of it.
To be fair they are talking about the technology they have developed themselves and are now outsourcing.

They are using Fastly as a paid service, so why should they talk about it? It's just a building block of their delivery solution.

It isn't like they discuss the web server software they use either.
For the reasons we don't have one true server-side framework, (other than languages).

> See the nice funding graph in question three.

Oh please, that graph is dug out whenever the feasibility of fusion is discussed. It's a prediction from 1976 – you should know how credible decade-long predictions on the progress of unproven technologies are.

It's also pure fantasy that if we just throw enough money at the problem, we'll get the work done quickly. That's not even the case for large software projects, so how do you expect that to work for a task with so many hard scientific and engineering challenges?
I wonder why that is. Given that the container is sealed properly, and they use electronics with magnets, I just don't see any part that is subject to such massive wear.

it seemed quite substantive to me...of course, it goes against the mainstream politically correct paradigm, too.
Assuming 10% risk free return is more like designing a tank and assuming the armor is an order of magnitude stronger than it is.

First, let's cover the tank in 10mm of it, which will give us all the protection we need. Freeing up that much room gives us more space to put a bigger gun on it. After vastly reducing the weight, even more so because we don't need to carry as much fuel, we don't need tracks, because an 8 wheel variant gives sufficient traction.

Oh, and since our new highly mobile and effective vehicle now costs a tenth as much, all the other expensive and slow vehicles taking on other roles in the army can be deprecated.

In fact, let's design a variant that carries fuel. In this way, instead of having 50 tanks advancing 100km per day, we can have 500 of our new vehicles advancing 500km per day, with the same firepower and effective armor, completely overwhelming any opposition. Why has nobody figured this out before?

OK, so, after we've taken the base assumption and followed the chain to its logical conclusion without error... we have nonsense. After realizing our mistake, and factoring in the real value for armor, our design and plans for reworking the army are absurd.

"Waiting longer" at 6% means 82 years to achieve the same returns as 50 years at 10%. But if we include 2% inflation as well, 6% takes 97 years to match 50 years at 10%. One of those is planning for your retirement if you're young... the other is planning for that of your grandchildren.
> Should I have two separate docker images, one running the application and the other running MySQL, with them talking to each other across the host OS?

They can, but it's an anti-pattern and there are hurdles to overcome if you try managing processes using an init system.
>Compatibility and wide distribution is as much a technological problem as threading

No it isn't because their solution isn't actually compatible with any other implementation than FF and will only eventually get in to next versions of browsers.

The whole problem is much more political (who invents it amd trough what process depends very much on what will be adopted as clearly shown in the past) than technical so I can understand OPs dislike of bad technical solutions for political reasons.

>It's wrong to belittle browsers for reinventing the easy parts of the problem when they are the best solution we've ever had to the hard part.

Arguable, with Windows 10 store and apps integration improvement (no need for full screen apps) I can see "desktop" moving to the similar sandbox model as phones, as far as I'm aware OSX also has app sand-boxing model.

I could see a .NET or JVM based cross platform solution that would require minimal changes for UI across platforms - Xamarin style but more polished/OSS. Creating cross platform wrappers for common functionality (eg. OpenGL, File System, etc.) is trivial and already done - no need to wait for standardization body and vendors to implement it by 2020.
I thought maybe the Book of Mormon would be on the list since it spawned one of the largest American-born religious movements and contributed to much of the settlement of the western US. I don't see any religious books on the list though.
If you were going to bypass the character limit, I'd go with using URL encode on your message with a special domain. URLs can be substantially longer (2083 characters), and Twitter is happy to only count that as ~10 characters against your message.

Then to decode it and bypass the 3rd-party client ban, release a Greasemonkey script that grabs a[title*="http://supertweets.example.com/"] and replaces the 'a' element with the URL decoded 'a.title' instead.

Even better, actually register the domain, and have it be a simple script that URL decodes the path and prints it out for you, so that people don't have to install Greasemonkey to see your longer message (but doing so inlines the content.)

But ... don't blame me when Twitter bans you for trying this ;)
