One thing I'd like to point out is that, display an ads usually doesn't make the situation worse. So neutral and negative are (mostly) the same for a brand because they don't convert to a sale, while positive does. For example, if you feel sick about a specific ad, you probably won't be interest in that brand anyway regardless if you see the ad or not. And this is the worst case, "they failed to give good impression to someone". The best case is, it might remind someone about the brand and lead to a sale in the future.

There're several technics in ad industry to minimal the negative effect. One example is frequency cap, which is the total number of times a specific ad be shown to someone. Anyone will get sick if they saw the exact same thing 10 times a day. Another example is ad rotation, means showing slight different ads about the same thing to people. If you like cars you might remember a recent ad campaign about ford focus on youtube.

Do these technics work? Well I don't think it makes a negative experience positive, but it does make some of them neutral for me.
It seems the author forgot to mention one area where server side (read NodeJS/io.js) JavaScript really sucks: debugging.

It's incredible slow to start a debugging session, making you feel miserable. See open issues like https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/877

Instead of arguing in favor of JavaScript as the default language and software stack we should focus on a standard VM to use the language and libraries we prefer.
Not sure if trolling but... If not trolling, you should always learn how to evaluate what language will be the best tool for the job. If anyone's choice of what language to use is based on a blog post that says "You should use JS" then language choice might be the least of your worries. I'm aware of core contributors of one of the hot new JS frameworks that are swapping out pieces of the back end JS tech for Golang because it makes sense! So this isn't just me pulling nonsense out of a hat.

That said, should you learn JS? Hell. Yes!
"Default to JavaScript" is not "use JavaScript".

I think the suggestion would be that everyone should be able to default to an agendered role and then later make an explicit choice to "put on" a particular gender.

This happens in some tribal cultures: children treated as neuter until they reach a certain age, then choosing to go through an explicit ritual to "make them a man" or "make them a woman."

(These cultures aren't particularly modern otherwise; you can't choose to undertake the ritual to become a man if you are biologically a woman, and people would think you were crazy to not want to undergo the ritual. The point is more that it's possible for a culture to start doing the "treat people as agendered by default" thing with no top-down pressure.)

Yup. I think it's not that hard to understand the continuous time fourier transform -- just imagine every signal ever can be expressed as an infinite integral of sinusoids of varying frequencies (the inverse fourier transform), and reverse that process to coax the fourier transform.

It is trivial to coax the DTFT and DFT derivations if one understands the CTFT.
It is if the Japanese believe the carrier is more powerful than it actually is. See my other reply.

Edit:

WRT the statement about the Union Jack, the jig would be up if the Japanese actually launched an air strike against the task force since the strike pilots would get close enough to clearly see what ship she actually was. Submarines and recon aircraft, however, would probably not be able to get that close and thus would just report a second, presumably American, carrier.
>> No, but I think your view on advertising and the content it supports is hypocritical (because you still accept the desired content)

I have said I will be happy to include a header in my http requests that says I will not render ads, and I already am happy to pay for content in other media. I will now explore that on the web.

At the moment, however, I request content from web servers and they send it to me. I make no guarantees implied or otherwise about what I will do with it or how I will render it.

>> The naivety I reference is specifically in your belief that you can correctly predict the desires of multiple large and small complex business entities in their goal to advertising in front of you,

They want my money. I'm well aware of this much.

>> and make decisions in their best interest that are against their expressed desire.

Well perhaps not, but in the simple case I will repeat - if I notice you're advertising your brand at me, I will not buy your stuff.

>> There are many arguments against ad-blockers that can be put forth, but I don't believe taking the moral high-ground is a valid one.

There are very many arguments for ad-blockers that do occupy the moral high-ground. Advertising is manipulative and it's not immoral to block these attempts at manipulation.

> it will be the standard language for mobile apps.

For second-class mobile web apps, maybe. But for high-performance native mobile apps that don't waste battery life on interpretation or JIT compilation, plus the overhead of bridging to the native APIs, a dynamically typed language like JavaScript is a bad fit. On iOS, Objective-C has always been compiled ahead-of-time to native code, and so is Swift. Android 5.0 introduced AOT compilation with the Android Runtime. And Windows Mobile has it too, with both C++/CX and .NET Native. Conclusion: All three major mobile platforms prefer AOT compilation, which AFAIK isn't feasible with JavaScript.

TypeScript is probably a better long-term programming tool and is aligned with future EMCA Script specifications.

Back-end I'm torn. I love Restify (Express without the web parts and just the api parts). But I also like ASP.NET Web API a lot too. They both have sizable benefits.

I think it's less about language though than architecture. Microservices and user-driven UX is the future along with stakeholder-driven agile project management.

Ad's never work for me, I occasionally turn off ad-blocking to see how google looks like with ADs. None of those advertising will work for fit what I am really looking for.

If I want something, I probably know what, where, how, when already.

If someone need 24 4tb SSD to setup a Raid, the chance they will get it from an advertiser instead of someone who has well established a logistics channel, reputation over years, excellent return policy, is probably zero.

I would love to see Advertisement which I can say:" Wow I must have one." But sadly Google has some more works to do there.

Somehow google has solve partially of it: YouTube reviews. They are one of the only few advertisement that work, at least to me.
If there are 6 ads on a page, do you visit 5 pages on average a day? I don't think that is many. These things multiply quickly.
Though I like React, I agree with the rest of your points.

I've done small-ish projects in Node. There's tons of ways to do JavaScript that your IDE's static analyzers will not like. If you use IIFEs extensively, most of it will not be auto-completed for you. Needeless to say, same thing goes for function signatures -- good luck quickly getting through the parameters and their order (note: it's possible this has changed in the last 12 months).

I like JS well enough -- the functional aspect of strings, arrays, etc. But IDE support is lacking and it makes it hard to retain control as the codebase grows.

In general I agree with you that prison industrial complex is a huge problem in this country. However, in this case it sounds like they can already afford to be somewhat selective with which inmates they choose, so I'm not too worried they'll jail people so they can get cheap firefighters anytime soon.
>Actually, the paper does not draw such a conclusion. They explicitly say that both "powerful positions have more negative consequences for women" and "women have less intrinsic desire for power and related privileges" are viable, possibly complimentary theories, and that distinguishing between these theories goes beyond this paper.

There could be less positive consequences as well. At least in the culture I was raised in, a man's position factors more into their 'general attractiveness' than a woman's does. There are likely many different explanations as to why and I don't know which ones have evidence supporting and which ones have been shown false. Even if this isn't true at all, if men think it is true, it still means that earning promotions has more perceived benefit.
> What type of partners?

Female partners seeking a relationship or sexual encounter. I'm 32, male, do well financially as well as career wise (I'm highly in demand). I still want to be desirable to the opposite sex. I'm sure its part biology, part psychology.
Back when I did C# I found trying to do functional stuff painful. Maybe it's gotten a bit better, but I recall creating functions being something like

new Func<int> => { stuff here .. }

Or something like that. I found moving to dynamic languages to be a breath of fresh air. I never cared too much about code completion and stuff like that.

Good point. Calling that a "scam" is ludicrous.
That's a great example. I think it doesn't quite fit what the parent was talking about though, since as you say there are still strongly defined male/female roles (that tribe members are very much expected to follow). It's just that there's a 3rd "pre-gender" that's assigned to infants.

I suppose the real test would be to find a culture that's genderless for people who have reached sexual maturity.
> Patriarchy implies men hold some sort of privilege

There are plenty of things that men usually get to avoid because of their sex. The majority of sexual harassment, sexual violence, domestic abuse, pay discrepancies based on sex, the list goes on and on. All of that is even worse for lower class women and even worse then that for lower class women of color. What would you call those advantages besides privilege?
I would recommend 1 GByte chunks for several reasons. The first reason is that you'll get very good throughput and efficiency at that large size. If you go as small as 10 MBytes we see long distances to our datacenter not "ramping up" fully. In other words, we can't get a single threaded application between New Zealand and California to get the advertised bandwidth for small chunks, but up at 1 GByte we DO get the advertised bandwidth. But if you go too large (like 5 GBytes) we have seen that you start seeing too high a percentage of uploads rejected because of bit errors occurring somewhere in the networking between your computer and our servers (the SHA-1 checksum won't match).

So you're having issues with a few components of the ecosystem, why are you taking it out on the language itself?

npm modules are not an integral part of the language. It's just an optional add-on that you might explore on your own to get work done for you more easily and more efficiently.

If you're lucky and found a module that fits the bill perfectly for a given project, that's awesome. If not, that's fine too. You can either fork the module and extend it as you like or build a new one from scratch.

I don't know why you would expect to find npm modules that can get the job done 100% for you and all the time?

That's a totally unrealistic expectation and unreasonable.

If everything that we devs need is ready-made and our jobs relegates to only gluing stuff together like entry-level technicians, don't you think that would be detrimental to our profession as a whole as it would be a few clicks away for a bot or an algorithm to automate our jobs away?

Don't know what you mean by this. As for the other things; like I said, getting first class functions right makes those other things unimportant.

no matter how many hypothesis you create you need to be able to test them.

Computer based simulations are often very slow, and AI won't be able to speed it up, just because it's AI.

To my knowledge, Contributor uses the same infrastructure and technology as ads, but with a different payload. All 3 problems you mentioned are problems being experienced today:

1. Google is already able to guage 'low quality' pages, co temt farms and pirates. This doesn't change

2. This happenens with ads, Google can add a rule saying you "can't have x amount of ads of you want to be on our network "

3.Likely to stay the same: I don't see how contributor makes fraud easier

Why should it? They're the ones consuming the free content. They get to view whatever content they're looking at, for free. You watch a funny cat video on youtube, that's your "reward". That's the product you're buying with your time.

I don't know why people feel so entitled to free stuff. They forget that the content they're viewing is subsidized by ads. It's only free because of ads.

Here's a question; Would you sit through a 60 second commercial to watch a completely brand new episode of Game of Thrones that no one has seen yet? If not, then switch Game of Thrones to whatever your favorite TV show is. Is the answer now yes? Ok, good. Now why should the advertiser also pay you to view the ad? Your "payment" is getting to watch game of thrones. The people who created game of thrones should the one's getting paid by the advertiser, not you.

Now I know not all content is "good" and worth your time viewing ads, but that's a matter of subjectivity and not really worth discussing. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to content. What matters is the fact that content is subsidized ads. For whatever reason, this is an extremely hard concept for many people to grasp. As a content creator myself, it's extremely frustrating.

The depth of thought that Carmack is able to apply to every detail of a problem is astounding. Granted, he's been working on VR for years now and pioneering realtime graphics before that, but his perception about what the end user wants out of a product is second-to-none.
To be honest I was just kinda trying that argument on for size. It's not really a scam, but if an advertiser pays a site for my visit they are wasting their money.

Of course I block ads routinely, so that's quite unlikely anyway. I think finding new ways to pay for content is a good thing.

Stop seeking social approval so much and do what you think is the best for you and your kids.

You are living a good life if your only problem is "someone wondering why you are bad parent". Seems a little narcissistic to think that people are analyzing/judging you so much. People are self obsessed, you can almost always be sure that they are thinking about themselves.

Also, interesting that people invent strange/vague/meaningless phrases like "social cost" to justify imagined slights against them.

You are product of society, you are "the society". Your thoughts/actions make up society. You cannot be in conflict with it. There is no evil society out there judging and analyzing you every move.
You list a lot of things that are definitely not proven. This very article is discussing the nature of the pay discrepancies based on sex.

Even if we take what you say as facts, there are many things women get to avoid because of their sex (warning, as speculative as your list): incarceration, violent crime, stressful manual labor, less representation in higher ed, weakened paternity rights...

I think it makes a lot of sense that differences between the sexes would offer different advantages and disadvantages. I don't see any one gender having a monopoly on advantage.
