Like the author said, this is an old idea that's recently been revived. (I agree that the article was quite well done.) Most of the ideas he described, like goals and unification, have been a feature of logic programming for ages. Prolog is the classic language in logic programming --- it attracted major interest during the AI bubble in the 1980s and survives mainly as an educational language today. It's worth a look, particularly since there are so many educational materials available.
Valid point, but there's something to be said for the Asian American community's obsession with education. Is it any surprise that they are the most successful minority group in America?

Guff – A plot device
The RaphaelJS library, which this is built on, doesn't have a built-in SVG exporter (though there is a limited functionality for that, along with SVG export plugins), but in FireFox and Chrome, these two lines will get you the <SVG/> export:

var svg = document.getElementsByTagName("svg");
var code = svg[0].outerHTML;

Of course, that assumes you're just getting the first SVG, etc and so on. Anyhow, this does NOT work on IE because IE hates innerHTML / outerHTML for SVG elements.

One tiny thing that stands out is that RaphaelJS is built to support even IE6, and yet this flowchart program seems to bork under IE.

Edit #2: forgot to mention, Raphael was specifically designed to fallback to VML if SVG is unavailable, so the export functionality would need to support both or pick and choose, or just reconstruct programmatically. A dilemma indeed.

Basically, anything anyone says is a mere model. Saying we think in graphs is...great... in as far as it helps us to use graphs as a model for thought. And it may help us get far, or help us accomplish someone else's agenda, but the way we think is much, much more than merely "in graphs." And people have been researching it for thousands of years.

Jeb is actually really unpopular with a lot of the Republican base. He gets booed when he's at conventions.

His strategy was to use his Wall St connections (he was working for Lehman Brothers when it went bankrupt) to build a war chest capable of permanently damaging any other candidate in the race with negative ads. Essentially forcing Republican voters to make an early choice between accepting candidate Jeb Bush and getting president Hillary Clinton.

That drove most other candidates from the race, but Trump's entry has completely destroyed that strategy.
This is non-sense. Every few minutes you hear someone complain about the lack of progressive enhancement. The case for progressive enhancement is only valid when you have "content" that is easily parseable by human eyes.

In a world where you have too much data and users want to see slices of data, progressive enhancement fails to deliver a fast, pleasant, engaging user experience. In the case, where you have complex tools that help a user meet some end goal more quickly progressive enhancement falls short of providing the easy to use tools. The only case where this works in any way shape or form is when a site is submittable via simple forms and all data can be retrieved by visiting urls. Any, slightly more complicated use case fails to be delivered at any reasonable pace with any sort of reasonable performance. You know the kind of performance that wouldn't make your server side fall over.

This whole progressive enhancement thing is mired in decade old dogma. While progressive enhancement can work sometimes, it is NOT the only tool. We shouldn't wholesale prescribe solutions without knowing someone's problem.

UKonect mobile app
I only use 1password across OSX, iOS and Windows. I share my vault via Dropbox as iCloud doesn't play nice w/ Windows yet. You can add custom fields into login records to save your 2FA stuff. Just flag the field as a password and it won't show in plain text until you "reveal" it. It's one of the few of these kinds of apps that are being integrated with other iOS apps at the moment (e.g. eBay, Uber and Disney). Safari already has an extension for 1password. I just tell it and Chrome to not ask to save passwords and log in via the extension.
I was a Navy surface officer for years. We had required reporting criteria for any marine mammal sighting at least as far back as the 1990s, and we had operating restrictions on the sonar as well. There are a lot of watermen in the Navy, I'm sorry people think we just don't care.

The fundamental tension is that we all love marine life, but someone has to be able to fight the war, and testing weapons and training people is an inextricable part of that.

And the other side ultimately, in a sense fundamentally, has a zero tolerance policy. There's somebody out there who feels every sonar should be dismantled and recycled, never to be used again. And in a law-abiding world, that person's opinion must also be respected, and the senior officers in the Navy take their obligations to the Constitution quite seriously, probably in a rather sophisticated way, where in they have forced society to tell them how far they should go. Unfortunately, that contra-extreme position of no sonar is not going to be realized without a durable world peace where geopolitical tensions can be definitely resolved in all cases without even the threat of violence.
I think to show that it's more than an isolated incident. This is not a piece of research malware that was only deployed in a lab or got picked up on a fileshare. It was found, deployed and operating, on many routers. It alludes to a systematic effort to use this capability, so you probably should take steps to do something about it.

That would get people interested in geopolitical events. At least, more interested than the establishment would like them to be.

There'd be books on geopolitical spread betting, how to become informed, how reading unpopular economics blogs can actually help your understanding, and so on.

Lots of truth would come out if this were allowed. I'm just hypothesizing, feel free to disagree!

Sounds like you have a bad battery or something like that, which is causing the battery meter to be inaccurate and is thus interfering with the rest of the process. To safely sleep/hibernate your machine the system has to have a pretty good idea of just how much energy is left in the battery, since it has to initiate the process before the battery goes completely flat. On a properly working machine, you should get all the way down to 0%, and then it will forcibly sleep if you don't do it yourself.

Have you tried an SMC reset? That's the low-level whatnot that controls the battery, and sometimes it can get confused.
Bullshit. The author is confusing web sites and web apps.

Bill Gates was just a semester shy of graduating and even published a paper in his junior year at Harvard. There are many many Stanford graduate students who take leave of absences to work on entrepreneurship -- Larry and Sergey just were wildly successful with theirs. Both Larry and Sergey got their Masters degrees. I'd chalk up neither case to a bad fit nor did they drop out after 1 year.

Republican Party insiders like organizers, lobbyists, congressmen, senators, governors, media personalities, and fund raisers despise Trump and adore Bush. Republican insiders make bank working for defense contractors and Trump was against their Iraq profit center. The donor class is focused like a laser on driving down wages with unauthorized immigration and H1-B that Trump wants to limit. The Republican leadership sees Latin Americans as a voting demographic they can capture 40% of but only by opening the border to unlimited immigration to prove they really love Latinos and Trump threatens both of those hopes. (How Republicans will benefit by increasing the number of people who will vote 60% against them is a mystery to me, but I'm not a Republican.)

As the election approaches, the influence of insiders rises and Republicans especially are very obedient to authority figures. Historically, the candidate next in line according to Republican insiders always and without exception wins the nomination, even when he's very unpopular with the base. Therefore, analysts find Trump a very long shot.
hmm I wonder who could be doing this.

pretty sure you wont make many friends by just throwing "pigs are way smarter than dogs" into the room without citing any sources. i mean, there are a lot more proud dog owners than pet-pig owners.

that said, my guess as to why dogs are mainly pets and pigs are usually food is: dogs have a higher carnivorous bias - they need more costly meat than pigs, making them more expensive to breed as food on a mass production scale.

also, dogs were extremely valuable pets since the beginning of human civilisation, so i guess it's culturally ingrained not to view them as a food source.

That's flatly incorrect. Both parties are pretty much equally disinterested in NASA. The current Democratic administration, for example, is no friend to NASA.

This is an idea that has been implemented in Prolog for 30 years, and it can also be implemented in Lisp with some effort, similarly to the presentation in this post. If you really want to know what this can do, just get a few Prolog books such as "the craft of Prolog". The language is easy to understand, and the ideas behind it can be used in many other languages.

>Brailsford believed that if it was possible to make a 1% improvement in a whole host of areas, the cumulative gains would end up being hugely significant.

If there are ten components that make up the total, and you make a 1% improvement in each of those components, the cumulative gains for the total is... 1%. Maybe I'm being pedantic; I realize the main point is probably something closer to what the parent comment articulated. As worded in the article is not accurate.
Progressive enhancement does make sense in some cases, such as using a feature that not all browsers support yet but that the site can function without.

And progressive enhancement makes perfect sense for things like CSS; if your site content makes no sense with CSS turned off, it probably makes no sense with a screen reader. So, for instance, remember to put content in a sensible order in the HTML rather than arbitrarily rearranging it with CSS.

However, I no longer think progressive enhancement makes sense for things like JavaScript, as long as you use features just about every browser supports. Otherwise, you'd have to effectively write your site twice: once with JavaScript, and again as entirely forms/links and server-generated content.

The critical reason why I no longer think this makes sense: because it's completely sensible to follow an API-first approach to site design, where the first thing you write is an API usable both by third parties and by your own first-party site. Then you can write your site on top of your own API. I don't think we need to target human-readable first; on the contrary, I think we get a better, more extensible, more programmable, more open web if we build APIs first and foremost.

Now, all that said, there are other ways this article is completely right about not breaking the web. In particular, having an app is no excuse not to have a website, or one not usable on mobile. And if you're going to display a "you might want the app" banner, have a "go away and stop asking me" that does not break navigation to the specific page the user was trying to visit in the first place.
Great little guide.

Now...my negative view on using Futures as per the examples in the guide:

Futures (and concurrency in general) make your code much harder to reason about, and much harder to debug. Sequential code running in one thread makes life much easier for the developer.

Faced with the problem presented in the guide (3 method calls total 400 ms), I'd try hard to optimise the methods. Once I've squeezed every potential performance gain out of the sequential method, I'd then investigate caching. Finally, if I still had significant performance problems would I then look at concurrency.
