I don't know this guy, and I haven't read any of his other stuff, so this isn't a judgement of him, it's just how I interpret the tone and content of the article itself, but...

It sounds like a rant by a corporate code-pusher who's never done anything particularly complex or sophisticated, and feels defensive about the security of his career.

Maybe that's just me. Again, I don't know this guy. I'm not passing judgement. That's just what I pick up when I read between the lines.

I got the impression is an internal thing of Google. ChromeOS seems to have won many political battles there.

As a Linux fan I prefer they stick to ChromeOS. It's just a custom Gentoo. Many of their devices support Coreboot, which makes them excellent machines to run my favorite Linux distro.

I visited it several years ago and it was the most crowded place I'd ever been. The main sites had crowds of people. It was 20 people deep to see old faithful. The few bathrooms had lines nearing a hundred yards long. The few hiking trails we went down before giving up on the place had trash everyone, freshly carved graffiti on trees, and punk kids running around trying to spook the wild life.

I've had more fun mowing the yard.
That's about a £13,000 salary. As a third year student you are probably thought of as an intern. In the UK a very good intern salary is probably £18000 in London (some would think this a grad level salary) or £15000 else where. You'll could possibly negotiate a little more but at your stage in your career the experience is far more valuable.
My impression is that Erlang/Elixir is excellent at the kind of decentralized networked services that people usually use it for, but less ideal for many other things. What's your experience with Erlang as a "day to day" language for more mundane stuff?

For example, a lot of my work tends to revolve around working with data. Processing large batches of data, parsing (often it comes in the shape of XML), transforming, filtering, ingesting it into databases, and so on. I can do this easily in Ruby, but performance issues has driven me to use Node.js or Go for new projects. With Go it's ridiculously easy to build efficient pipes that can parallelize each step to my liking, backpressure included. It's also trivial to build small command-line tools as well as specialized daemons. I have a world of libraries (and bindings to C libraries) at my disposal: AWS, image processing, transcoding, PostgreSQL, XML, JSON, it's all there. Go is also decent at Unicode and string manipulation.

I'm not wild about Go's performance, and everything I have seen of Erlang indicates that its performance is closer to that of Ruby or Node.js. Any comments here? Whenever I need to fire up anything related to batch processing in Ruby or Node.js, things take forever. Erlang's advantage here might be that it's easier to spawn remote processes to parallelize the workload.
I could not agree more with almost everything you just said, even the Ruby bit (did the same thing, even bought a book, though I gave up a little prematurely).

The only time seeking novelty hurts me is with side projects. As soon as I get used to the project I lose site of the bigger goal, and then I just want to start a fresh, new side project.
I love Ubuntu Mono as well. I even installed it on the Windows side of my desktop even though I do pretty limited coding there.

Everyone wins with fission. Even if we somehow built crappy new reactors and mishandled them so that we got a Three Mile Island incident every once in a while, that's still better than the Three Mile Island equivalent we get here in Oklahoma every few years from the thorium and uranium released by our coal plants (not counting the mercury and VOC's).

People aren't paying attention to what this is for. It's to prevent people from using encryption to obfuscate and share their illegal data, and other criminal things, and from interacting with other criminals outside the bounds of the manufacturers intention. It's to protect devices from crime that was prevalent in the days when the internet was first invented, and for decades afterwards.

This is a good thing.

My takeaway from this is that The Grid has a fantastic marketing team, and a product that may be a decent competitor to Squarespace. Maybe.

I think the idea the parent is trying to express is that if the Linux distro (and OS X in this situation) comes with the root certificate trusted by default via ca_root_nss/ca-bundle or whatever the packager decides to name it they can disable it before even connecting to the internet, and if the certificate is not trusted by default then they don't need to worry about it magically getting trusted in the future outside of the simple fact of updating the root certificate store blindly without inspecting it.

Microsoft's approach means that the user would have to go find the certificate on the internet and blacklist it explicitly, which allows a small window where the computer is vulnerable to some kind of attack involving a certificate signed by the unwanted authority.

Logic is hollow until we add references to reality. That is what physics is. It's filling variables with real data. Without data, mathematics is completely hollow. Skip this step, and it's all constrained fiction, but fiction nevertheless.

Comparatively speaking, English is an extremely logical language and it does enforce a level of active reasoning on the speaker[0]. Combined with the emphasis on individuality and the value of self, both being highly western values, we have ample examples of what John calls the bastardization of reason and aggressive common sense. It's everywhere... politics, pseudo-science, non-science, and even simple everyday conversations are full of reasons that actually are immaterial, which makes them illusionary, but that are encouraged by the culture and the language we use to express ourselves. Worse yet, feeding off our obsession and trust of science (and in many cases celebrity), communicators repeatedly abuse reason to accomplish their motives, be it commercial or personal. Donald Trump exemplifies the bastardization of reason and aggressive common sense. He's betting his campaign on it, and it's working because these observations of western culture are true.

Beyond that point, regarding "6 qualities" John is easier to challenge on the merits. But if one subscribes to scientific models instead of axioms [1], then it is but another model which is worth analysis and pursuing for all of it's bases and applications. In terms of the physics of this, the other elements (common sense, creativity, ethics, intuition, memory) would be the input (hopefully evidence but not to be confused) and reasoning would be the logic (hopefully mathematically accurate but not to be without checks and balances).

Anecdotally, as evidence of hollow reasons there is the excuse. We are all trained to make good excuses growing up, but what are they really? They are simple statements used to shift blame, and are backed first and foremost by a motive (not science). Hence the smarter we are the more excuses we can generate, and the better they will be. Most of them may even be true. But the point is, given the circumstances and our intelligence, we can pretty much reason ourselves and others to think anything when trusted. When we start twisting the facts and deceiving even ourselves, we have confabulation, and this too is a real and serious problem [2].

--

[0] Wish I had a quick reference, but by being the Lingua Franca of science English has been pushed to be easier to reason with. Japanese for example, does not have plurals and no subject-object distinction. It is harder to do math and science when the language doesn't care how many or what is objective.

I like to choose computer names after pokémons. The names usually are simple, it's easy to follow some general rule to give names (get the last 9 bits from MAC Address, add 1 and check which pokémon have this National Dex number), you can choose wallpaper colors related with the pokémon color, there's a lot of pokémons to prevent name collisions and new pokémon games which present new pokémons are introduced faster than you have need for new names.
By looking at thegrid.io's claimed features, I do not see anything impossible stated there. Like said by others, it's classic AI marketing by (over)using the term AI..

But the idea is brilliant though. What they are using behind the scenes are probably few algorithms to detect faces, adjust color contrast and let the user choose from a couple of fluid layout templates (formal, casual etc). The template then further adjusts itself based on the content that is provided. All they claim is automatically crop the images, find out color contrasts and adjust the typography to maximize legibility, automatically add an ecommerce widget if they see a price info etc. All of these are certainly possible and doable, even with 5-6 year old tech. Any YC level startup can do a basic, minimal version of the stated features in few months.. But the idea is huge.

Do we have any product today for a non-developer/non-technical person to build a personalized, static website without going through all the hassles? Even WYSIWYG website generators like Wix.com or wordpress/other CMS can be too much effort for a non-technical person. All they need is a randomized and personalized website where they can throw their content at and will automagically appear polished and most importantly unique, without them going through all the settings. The advantages are endless, like the themes can auto update when the industry trends change as the user never manages the design elements directly.

The author probably mistook the product as a dynamic application generator and not a static website generator, which is certainly doesn't look feasible until we have really intelligent machines..

Providers are safe carrying most content as long as they comply with legal requests as they come in and aren't actively conspiring to keep illegal content up. The only thing you're required to proactively report and delete is child pornography.
But that's not the commercial asset that "The Grid Co" is demonstrating. They are abstracting that underlying framework, to make a more usable asset to non-technical people, akin to a SquareSpace. The people who have bought into this notion (i.e. the "founding backers") have seen almost little to no substance to establish the latter. The argument is that they are essentially being tricked. The resulting question ("is it OK to start a company this way?") is probably much more ethical in nature than anything.

This seems like a good idea, and certainly do-able. Whether the people doing it can bring it off is a separate issue.

It looks like they like grid layouts. Everything is a rectangle. (On their site, a flat-shaded rectangle, like Windows 8+.) That simplifies things. You have some text and some pictures, and probably some action blocks (buttons, forms, zooms, etc.), and need a layout.

View this as an optimization problem under constraints. Use a heat map of where people usually look on screens as a basis for where the first things to be seen should go, and what needs to be on the screen at the same time. Use information about color and contrast psychology to select colors and decide how to emphasize images. They have face popout and smart cropping already, they say.

Then deliver different web site designs to different users as A/B testing, watch what happens, and feed that back into the optimization calculation. That would be fun. I wonder what would happen if you optimized for clicks. Cat videos?

Right now, there's a huge gap between the incredible complexity of CSS and what people actually do with it on most web sites. This may be a way to manage that complexity. Look at Wordpress; it doesn't do all that much, but it satisfies the needs of millions of site owners.

Thanks a lot! I've read the consequences and have submitted a counter notice, which might lead to a lawsuit from NG against us. However, after back tracking some emails, I think the confusion is indeed caused by what is "Pixel Magazine online blog", as there is no URL specified in the contract. As the article that was taken down was indeed from https://medium.com/@pixelmagazine/where-are-chernobyl-s-chil... , and the account has Pixel Magazine branding, following the rule of one time, non exclusive uses as when it was taken down, we'll lead NG to decide if they want to file a lawsuit on this. If we don't hear back from them in 10 days, the article will be back online. I will keep you guys updated!
Well, what you see as matrices (that is the array of numbers) is underneath a function f: N x N -> F
(Where F is a field of your choice, or a ring if you so desire). So its a function that takes two natural numbers (i.e. column and row) and outputs a number.

Exactly. It's an evolution of the old stuff and OSkit deserves credit too. Now, just imagine if the concept was discovered and built on sooner. Same with DDE. We'd have more projects doing more stuff. Took a while for one, bright outlier to make some of that potential happen. That's the problem I was illustrating.

Same here :) I was a lucida console user for years (and before that Courier) but as I passed 40 my eyes told me it would be better to use something else. Consolas it was, and I have to admit, it's great.

I tried hack, it looked OK (in vs.net) but the 0 (zero) didn't render with the fill-in but open. That of course sucks, as for a programmer a 0 has to be different from O. Perhaps it's something related to vs.net's rendering, not sure.

Couldn't have said it better..
Note that the word "monad" itself refers just to the "shape" of the object (and some rules about that shape), not the functionality.

For example, an array can be a monad if we define a bind method as map + flatten

Array.prototype.flatMap = function(f) {
return _.flatten(this.map(f))
}

which works like so:

allArticles = authors.flatMap(author => author.articles);

return would be

Array.of = function(val) { return [val]; }

The shape (type) is the same:

the promise's bind (then) method takes a function that takes a value and returns a promise, and returns another promise

the array's bind (flatMap) method takes a function that takes a value and returns an array, and returns another array

the promise's return (Promise.resolve) method takes a value and wraps it in a promise

the array's return (Array.of) method takes a value and wraps it in an array.

You can get the array method types (shapes) from the promise ones by replacing promise with array (if you decide to give the methods the same name).

The implemented functionality, however, is vastly different.
Yes, but who are the stakeholders? In the eyes of those at the top that is.
