This is a good article if you are a backend PHP developer working closely with someone that looks after the front end.

Personally I like these working arrangements and being able to dish up HTML safe in the knowledge that your frontend developer is getting what he needs complete with expected class tags and other markup to be styled. In the future it will probably be better for me as I won't be doing template files with fiddly PHP tags, instead I will be json encoding the requested data, e.g. an array of products. There is a whole lot of logic to getting that array of products, this you need the server for. Presentation of that data? That can be done with the new stuff. From this article I have a better idea of what might be the future.

The fact that there's at least 4 "mainstream" build tools and their popularity changes every 6 months is a sign of an ecosystem with little stability that is no good to build a solid foundation.

I understand the objections. I just don't find them to actually apply in the real world.

First, what functions do you actually need to manipulate while driving? Most of that can be done from the steering wheel.

Second, when positions on a touchscreen are consistent you can learn to touch them without staring at them. I often adjust the interior temperature on the touchscreen even though it can be done on the steering wheel, just because I find it to be easier. It can be done out of the corner of my eye with practice.
While I'm not saying this is a good idea, you can combine a pool allocator with longjmp exceptions to get an approximation of unwinding. It requires that you are very careful about structuring your code, but I once wrote a whole web server this way: http://git.annexia.org/?p=rws.git;a=tree (using: http://git.annexia.org/?p=c2lib.git;a=tree ).

If I were you, in the future at least, I would be requiring a potential employer to supply me with the contract before I agreed to give notice at my current position. If you are professional about it they will get it and unless they are dodgy they won't have any issue with it. I have had a couple of freelancers I worked with in the past year actually ask me for the agreement in this way and I totally respect that and have no issues with it.
It's not just monkey patching that causes problems, though it certainly doesn't help.

The advantage of going with some sort of transpiler is that you can have two kinds of code within the same process whilst you make a gradual transition. I feel like, it could be made to work, but the boundary would have to be quite heavy-weight. Think less gradual typing and more FFI.

Edit: actually, in depends on which side is doing the calling. Going from checked to unchecked code is a minefield, but if it's unchecked code calling into checked code, it could work quite well as long as the arguments are immutable and don't have methods that can do IO.

Are you talking about content negotiation? I don't think a "single content resource" really makes sense. When humans access a page, they aren't just looking at a single resource, they're looking at a blend of disparate resources (e.g. all the content in the navigation, sidebar, footer, peripheral sections, etc). Hence the need for a dedicated API that returns pristine data.
The issue there is that the ecosystem is full of "I'd rather just install a plugin and be done" types. Nobody wants to recreate popular WordPress plugins to work in a NodeJS replacement.

Just because overall traffic increased 500% that doesn't imply a decrease if you don't know what the distribution of searches are. If most of that 500% were looking for sports scores for example, then a 227% increase would be very impressive. Without more detailed data I don't think you can draw any conclusions.
Most engineering programs (at least in the US) have students sign documents that state that the University will own the copyright to anything that they create in labs or for University classes.
To me what is very amusingly different is the holier than though, upholder of freedom and democracy chip on their shoulder many wear to a fault.

I bear no ill will, far from it, just something that tickles my funny bone in some dark way.

Negotiating Estimates
Quoting from the same link the support for my claim that Britain also transported the convicts to Australia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia

"Between 1788 and 1868, approximately 162,000 convicts were transported to the various Australian penal colonies by the government.[1]

The British government began transporting criminals to overseas colonies in the 16th century. When transportation to the American colonies declined with the move towards American independence in the 1770s, an alternative site was needed to avoid further overcrowding of British prisons and hulks. "
If you are referring to me, I am speaking in terms of the actions of the Japanese against the Chinese. I'm not even discussing Allied behaviors. I do feel that in many ways the Allies did things I personally would not have approved of, I still have no problems that they were done.

The problem as I see it with these discussions, much as you point out you are ignorant of WWII, is that too many people do not fully understand WWII. They look at it with their modern sensibilities and judge accordingly. This is extreme ignorance in action. The simplest reason is because we are now working on our second or third generation of separation of the time. We have not had a total war like there was with WWII. People are losing that perspective, that it was total war. I would imagine many recent college grads don't even realize what the term total war means.

So, why do I not have a problem with the nuclear bombings of Japan and the potential invasion? Because the Japanese were the aggressors. I have little problems with the actions of people defending themselves against aggression.

Responding to the several comments about how there aren't tactical buttons and that you have to look at the large center console: that isn't accurate.

There are four buttons and two "scroll wheel buttons" on the steering wheel that control music, the sunroof, climate, etc. The feedback for those buttons is provided on the second digital screen that is behind the steer column, so your eyes just move up/down not towards the center console.

Just saying :)

> The difference is not being willing to accept "oh it's just different preferences" as a reason for observed disparities without evidence.

Take a look at The Gender Equality Paradox. https://vimeo.com/19707588 Sweden, considered the most "gender equal" place in the world, has an extreme gender bias in certain professions like engineering and nursing. The documentary tries to uncover why that bias still exists, even though the genders have very little influence in terms society imposing gender roles. It's a fantastic watch.

If they're paying people off to be shills, they're definitely not paying worthwhile sums.
> Gender equality being fought in the media is about presuming that disparities in representation are the result of discrimination.

That's the problem, making assumptions of discrimination and identifying as a victim when it's convenient. If you're the one making the accusation, the onus is on you to support that with evidence.

The cultural narrative is to identify those who aren't straight men as victims (women, LBGT). Drunk female has sex with drunk male? The female is a "victim" and not responsible for her actions, while the male gets kicked out of school (this happened at Occidental College). Female prostitute willingly has consensual sex with a man for $1,000? The male is a criminal and the woman is a victim (that's the law in countries like Sweden, and I once spoke to a human trafficking prevention worker at a top non-profit who tried to convince me that all prostitutes are victims). Male tells a woman on the street she's cute? Sexual harassment (unless he's Brad Pitt).

And look at the media. Lead male celebrity actors in Hollywood movies get paid more than female leads? This is seen as a "problem" and must be the result of discrimination, and articles about it go viral on social media. Female models and pornstars get paid significantly more than their male counterparts? Supply and demand baby, nobody gives a shit.

The worst part is that it's heresy for a straight male to even question assumptions of discrimination without being accused of misogyny. Even the mildest joke alluding to differences between the sexes is grounds for being fired from your job and ostracized (eg. recent Nobel Prize winner Tim Hunt).

The remark on the stone in Japan is at about 44:30 into the video.
This article doesn't say that JS is supposed to kill PHP. The last paragraph actually states the complete opposite.
The argument is in favor of near 100% CPU for a short period; gets the job done faster, and uses the available resources (100% CPU) the OS handed down. The time the process spends at 100% is the difference.
When it comes to in-car controls, you want to be able to use them without taking your eyes off the road. To this end, knobs that you can grasp for and feel the current setting are great. Knobs without a tactile indication of the current setting are OK, as you can find them without looking and only glance down to see that you are selecting the appropriate setting. Buttons are worse because you have to glance down to find them, but once you do you should be able to use them and know that the input was registered through the tactile feedback.

Touchscreens, on the other hand, are just bad for this. You have to look at them the entire time you're operating them, or else your hand might change position and not press what you intended to press. You also need to look at the screen to see that your press registered what you wanted to do. All of this looking at the screen means your eyes aren't on the road where they belong.

Wrestlers have the highest work ethic and ability to keep pushing out there. I wish I had trained wrestling in high school, but it didn't appeal to me at the time.

We get a lot of wrestlers who come in and try BJJ. Of those who don't give up in frustration after a couple weeks, they turn into monsters.

But I'd say that a lot of wrestlers quit BJJ early on because they're used to their power and wrestling technique getting them through, and not being able to pass someone's guard is frustrating. It's humbling (and also frustrating) to get swept and choked by a guy 40% smaller then you, over and over again.

But if a wrestler says "How did you do that?" or "What should I do there?", you know you've got a potential monster on hand.
Guy makes the case that his credit was wrongfully harmed by Citibank. Right or wrong, what's particularly interesting is how he has been treated by Citibank and how much everything has escalated as a result. I think we all can relate to poor customer service experiences with large bureaucracies. This is an especially egregious example. I would have titled it, "Ignored into Arbitration." Dispute resolution need not be this tedious and expensive.

Okay, this bugs me just a little bit.

From the story page[1]:

> A piece of software that depends on extensions will surely fail without the establishment of an ecosystem. I do not intend to make the same mistake with Flarum.

This seems incorrect to me. If you look today, there are still a several people that actively develop plugins for esoTalk. The community has contributed plugins for Markdown, OAuth, signatures, and social sharing. I myself have made Mandrill and Mailchimp integrations within the last couple months.

> Without the feedback of a team, I have produced some low-quality code and APIs that will surely need revision.

This statement about Flarum sounds to me like the stated reason esoTalk[2] was left in favor of a complete rewrite—it needed a lot of work.

Reviewing some of the history... There was an open source forum solution that had an established base of users that was completely abandoned for an attempted kickstarter of a ground-up rewrite. The kickstarter didn't work, so they're bootstrapping it and going to try to monetize with a paid marketplace and a "service-based business." It all strikes me as a promotional effort to base a kickstarter and a business around.

Toby has already been successful in making a fast and simple forum software, esoTalk. Toby, if your interests are in making freely available forum software but your career path remains focused on medical school, why invest so much time into starting a business around new forum software instead of just putting some time into revamping what you already had?

I'm trying to see the motivation behind this as something which would justify killing off your own forum project and leaving folks who use your software, besides making some cash on a side business, but I can't.

By doing what? Making payments to an address?

> Besides, the value of the information decreases over time, meaning you're going to be making the large payments up front.

Any lumpsum can be structured as an equivalent series of regular payments. Whatever the present value of not having the data released is, it can be turned into a set of finite or indefinite payments, which last 1 year or 5 years or 10 years or however long the company feels the harm will be non-neglible. And by doing this, you still get the anti-defecting incentive of a stream rather than one-off payment.

I've worked with a system that was similar to the virtual dom, and I can tell that the ponyfoo author has NOT tried to work with text nodes. Browsers will merge those in an instant. (Side Note: IE in general, including IE11, has had some WEIRD text node behavior, that changes between versions of IE)

So making each updatable component an actual (non-text) DOM Node is an unfortunate requirement.
Yes, being the only country with an unknown number of warheads, plus an undamaged domestic industrial base had a lot to do with it, too.

My point being that his description of the moral calculus for the decision has little to do with any scenario without the same context. But not only because of the results, because the justification had to do with the necessity of defeating Imperial Japan rather than a comparison of the costs of the different ways of achieving that defeat.

That is the criticism of the oversimplified ends justify the means justification for the use of atomic bombs in Japan. It wasn't about ending the war, it was about achieving aims that had been determined were imperative, through war, with a lesser loss of life.

Wonderful initiative -- wish this was around when I was in school.

Any projects in the works to tie this into Khan Academy's CS offerings? I work at a school which is about to pilot a programming class with 3d animation, but I found the content which you guys have put up to be far more engaging. If there were an accompanying suite where students could code and render an entire scene (especially if some Pixar assets were included!) it would absolutely be incredible and a great resource, and I certainly wouldn't hesitate one second to transition our course into it.
JavaScript or not, something has got to replace that abomination.
>"and free of errors over that entire scope"

This is impossible, because unless the information is also complete then the utility functions of opponents (and hence future payoffs) are unknown by the decision maker at the time of the decision.

>which is why I used "accurate and complete" as a less-formal equivalent of "perfect" upthread.

I suppose if you believe that the two are equivalent, there's not much point in arguing.
> Who properly bears the burden of proof is a question of your policy objective.

Well, the context was the discussion of policy objectives. If you're saying that we should presume the existence of ongoing discrimination to be the cause of gender inequality during those discussions, then that seems flatly wrong. The rational way to discuss policy is to have an honest assessment of the current situation and then predict how policies will affect outcomes. You don't start by making unproven assumptions. The burden of proof in an argument is on the person making the claim.

You can certainly weigh potential outcomes and decide to go ahead with a course of action even though the benefits haven't been proven.

> It has the strong advantage of being an approach that has actually worked in the past.

Maybe.
Funny that the author didn't list JSX/React's form behavior as "weird".

Basically, on every keypress you need to capture the change and rerender. It may be fast, it may be what the browser is doing under the hood, but it feels VERY weird.

It also means that things like divs with contenteditable on them are basically unworkable in the current version. :(
We're more focused on the "go to this point in 3d space and take a picture" use case, so we don't care as much about the shape of the path in between the points. It is however a totally smooth to the 4 derivative path we are planning and executing to get to that new position, so its quite mathematically pure... Wind and actuator dynamics get in the way of perfect planning though. We did some work on more continuous velocity paths, which are more in line with my computer graphics and cinematography background, but those will have to wait for a future video. =)

> The event loop is one of Node.js strengths as it makes it blisteringly fast when dealing with many connections. However the event loop does pose some challenges. One of the most important things to consider is that you should never block the event loop. [...] Now some great tools do exist for monitoring the event loop and if you understand the event loop and take care not to block it, then everything will most likely be fine. However you should be mindful of its strengths and limitations while developing.

I think the concurrency model provided by green threads in Go and Erlang is orders of magnitude easier to reason about, where you can write blocking I/O and the scheduler itself will take care of making sure that your code runs fine. The last thing I need when writing concurrent code is yet another thing to think about at every step of the way. This is a hugely underrated flaw in my opinion of node.js servers. With languages like Haskell, Rust, and Go we are seeing a trend of having smarter compilers and language runtimes making programs much easier to write, where I am offloading lots of things from my mind onto the compiler. The whole point of pre-emptive multi-tasking is to relieve the burden of "taking care not to block [the event loop]," and I think in that respect node.js is a step back.
I agree it was an interesting read. Haven't thought about setjmp and longjmp in many years.

>> I think exceptions are very bad idea.

There are many cases, API implementations for example, where I cannot think of a better solution. Packing result codes into returned data, using return values, using global state, using passed state buffers, all those approaches are worse, imo, and lead to less readable and maintainable code. What's your preferred alternative?
> it abandons the original idea of the World Wide Web where a single content resource was expected to be used by humans and computers alike using a unified, simple syntax.

I believe we are long past that idea, it's just too much of a restriction for the web in order to compete for audience with other technologies (meaning apps).
