Playing with My Son – An Experiment in Forced Nostalgia and Questionable Parenting
I find this trend of social engineering via hiding info to be really annoying/disturbing. LoL doesn't even have a way for a player to find out what their ranking is - the ELO on the back end is hidden for some inane reason, and now I can't even know that I have to play with a certain guy a bit more carefully because he's half a second behind everyone else.

Knowing that I can't trust another player to launch a skill shot attack on target is valuable info - it changes the dynamic of how you'd play with that person.
Few politicians have seriously proposed it so far. If and when they do, the votes will follow (a testable prediction.)

This process has indeed happened already. It was a large part of the downfall of ancient Rome. Glossing over the many details, when slaves were doing most of the work, people supported those politicians who offered them ever increasing grain doles, until the state could no longer afford them and collapsed.

Socialism in general is a variant of the basic income scheme, and hugely popular: a state guarantee of a certain basic income and level of material security, no matter what happens to you in life. It has done well in elections for a long time and remains popular today, as well as driving various popular Communist revolutions on a non-democratic basis.
The Anatomy of an Experimental Organization
I worked with ACP/TPF in the distant past. All programs were written in S/370 macro assembler. My department tested C, but it was dismissed as too slow, generating code that was too inefficient. But if you are maintaining this software now, you're definitely not poor.
Also, I probably wouldn't mind doing that now, it certainly wasn't the worst code I ever encountered, by far.
Check his previous posts, he does lots of work on backend speed. If you put all that advice into one post, it would be pretty overwhelming.
I wanted a guide that focused on the one thing all web developers have in common - the page construction process in the browser. We all use different servers, languages, etc.

HTTP2 will absolutely change a lot of how this works, you're right. I chose not to cover it as it won't be a real option for most developers until nginx supports it (still in alpha). The skills I'm teaching in the article re: the Timeline can still be applied when HTTP2 gains mass adoption, so you can test for yourself whether or not the recommendations in the article still make sense.

Agreed. She mentions "code that's good enough", and I think that's the problem I encounter at work. Take the extra time to write bug free and maintainable code, which means the task might take longer if refactoring is required.

There should be no problem refactoring code in pursuit of building a feature or fixing a bug. If you're refactoring unrelated code, that's where it gets a little dicier.

They could just make 45 000 (in this formula: http://amix.dk/blog/post/19588) a used-defined parameter, the formula basically means tenfold increase in score should be approximately during 45 000 seconds (12.5 hours) for submission to stay. Make it 4 hours for those who want a less stale front page or even 2 hours.

Checkout Pinto, http://perlmaven.com/pinto-tutorial, which allows you to host your own CPAN mirror and have stacks. So you could have a "development" stack and a "production" stack, or a "perl-5.8" stack and a "perl-5.16" stack. Whenever you add or upgrade a module, it only affects one stack.
I ragged on The Verge for taking 200ms to parse HTML, but if that's all The Verge was, it would be a ludicrously fast site. It's the 3.5 seconds of JS evaluation that tanks the site 's speed.

Well, when I see people cherry pick their data and cherry pick events that only support their side, I'm sorry to say I have to disagree with you. I have seen such things on both sides of this debate. Just because you haven't seen it, refuse to see it, or incapable of seeing it doesn't make my observations on the matter incorrect.

I can pull out a fancy term as well, I think you may have a case of confirmation bias. But since I don't know you, don't know your full opinion on the matter, nor don't know what you've read, I don't think I'll label you with negativity as you have done me.
I understand the need for the existence of an app manifest, but is there really a need to standardize it? I suspect we may have reached the point of diminishing returns in terms of new web standards.

So ideas do matter after all? Not just execution?

Again an italian restaurant opening up on the blog right next to another isn't going to complain that someone steals their idea even though they sell more or less the same products.

Furthermore Rocket Internet takes ideas that haven't yet come to Europe. People do that all the time just very few have been so successful as the Samwer Brothers.
It could still be a civil suit - if someone actually got sick because you weren't vaccinated, they could sue you for damages.

Also, once you give the government the authority to require people to be injected, they will probably start expanding it in various directions. That's really not a power I want to give to them.
I guess this is the WYSIWYG thing all over again- in the beginning its nice to be able to see continuously what the finished document is going to look like, but after you become very fluent with the software having to draw everything or to manually fuss with the positions of stuff becomes very tedious. I'm far from being a professional, but with MuseScore I often find that I'm barely ever looking at the app since I'm concentrating on listening to the thing I'm transcribing and just using muscle memory to adjust the note durations with the keyboard; basically touch typing I guess. The professional arrangers I know are blindingly fast with Finale or Sibelius, kind of like watching a pro draftsman using CAD software, or a real recording engineer editing in Pro Tools.

One of the reasons that I often wind up using Lilypond instead of MuseScore is when I'm writing examples like a sheet of scales. I can write a little script that emits the Lilypond notation, and then render it with Lilypond.
> On public CDNs- I mean public CDNs for common libraries (jQuery, Angular, Font Awesome) can improve page load time if a user already has the file. The more sites use the same public CDN, the more users benefit. But if a user doesn't have the file already, it's a loss. So, tradeoffs.

Even this has a tradeoff - if, for example, the other JS on your page require JQuery, you can't make the CDN copy of JQuery use an "async" tag, because you can't be certain of the order the JS will execute. And if you're not using the async tag, the first load will suffer.

It isn't valid technically HTML but custom attributes aren't really that unheard of. Certainly there are no known user agents that have even close to a problem with it.

As to discovery: You use a link rel=amphtml tag on the canonical and then point the AMP file back via a link rel=canonical

They can, of course, be the same file if your AMP file is the canonical.

Great work!
> Right now the LLVM IR isn't platform-agnostic, e.g. when it comes to calling conventions.

But it does give you the same benefits in terms of CPU capabilities. You can't ship intermediate code that's agnostic about e.g. x86 vs x64 (C and C++ just aren't amenable to that, no matter what your intermediate representation looks like), but you can ship intermediate code that expects some form of x64 but postpones instruction selection until the program is installed, so you can take advantage of new instructions just when they are available. As I understand it, Apple is going to use it for that purpose.

Congrats on all of your progress! I remember being one of the first masters to use Lichess and I absolutely loved it.
My mother was a pharmaceutical sales rep for many years where she did rather well despite her age most likely because she was previously a RN. I say age because the pharma companies blatantly hire "sexy and young" to sell to doctors. Now I'm sure there are other companies that age and appearance discriminate but the pharma companies are especially egregious in that they really don't care if the sales person is qualified or not.

And this is important because the doctors rarely have time to do research on the samples that they were given. So its sort of a good thing to give the doctor as much info as possible but this rarely happens as pharma sales person Barbie and Ken could care less.

Pharma sales have strict compliance but guess who enforces those compliances? The pharma companies. Not the FDA. So guess what they use the compliance issues for... to get rid of older employees or to screw over other companies (ie tattle telling).

Its completely fucked up.
In a typical corporation, psycopaths are the cream that rises to the top. I've seen it happen time and time again.

Most of them don't, but as for the few that do? I denounce them the same as any other scientist, climate or otherwise, that cherry picks their data and trends that only support their side of the debate. That was not the kind of science I learned in school.
> If you want to reject it on principle alone, you'll have to address why your liberty in principle is more important than my health concern in practice.

Nope, they really don't.

The default should not be for the state to force someone to inject a substance into their body, and if they refuse or raise concern, that it is then on them to explain/justify why NOT. The state should justify why they're doing it, and make a good case to each individual so they make the right choice.

If you think the first amendment is an important right in the US, then the right to not have complex chemicals and or living organisms injected into your body should be an even higher right (since you're entrusting your very health on the state).

Any Perl 6 code will have to include a `use v6;` instruction at the very top of the file, so there's no chance of Perl 5 code being confused for it. Is this what you mean?

Two good questions!

There is a recent PEW study showing that 40% of people would prefer a no-tracking search experience. And yet a very small percentage of people have ever heard of DuckDuckGo. As a result, we think we have a lot of room to focus on making the product better and growing, and that is really our future plans in a nutshell.

In hindsight, there are always activities you realize now were a waste of time, and it is easy to say you wouldn't do them now, but in the moment it is much harder. So in general, what I've been trying to work on is making sure we're always working on the right projects, and scoping them right, given the information we have in front of us. I would have liked to be better at that earlier, but in general I wouldn't have done that much differently.

If this is uncomfortable, you can press F key to freeze lights changes (I implemented this feature exactly for that).

Second and third songs are much gentler, so you may try checking those out (keys 1,2,3 change the song, keys 4,5,6 change the head for the current song).

If you lose all of your cash while on vacation, will the bank give you replacement cash? I can get a replacement Amex card anywhere in the world, that seems a bit less risky to me.

The government has had this authority since 1905 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobson_v._Massachusetts); there's no "giving them" this power, they've had it for over 100 years.
That's what I agree to, but I still balk at the term essential in terms of innovation. It is not essential. Helpful, yes. Essential, no.
Maybe it was a bad example for the author to use because it sounds like whats been described to me as symptoms of a panic attack. Or it might be that pathological panic attacks are an example of the emotional problem in the story.

From talking to people who've had medical panic attack problems, it seems common for them to confuse how to name the bodily symptoms, so they show up in the ER confused why they're sweating bullets and feeling very confused and heart rate of 150 thinking they're having a heart attack or stroke instead of "just" an out of control emotional response.

Or it could be that their treatment plan for repressed emotions leading to panic attacks is a lifetime dose of a pill. Maybe that is the best treatment plan for them; none of my business, I guess, other than that specific example might have been a bad choice for the article because of confusing factors.
I think there is a distinction between good land management, given conditions, that's to say how to best use land, with the presupposition of it being used, versus saying don't use it at all.

Moreover, the USDA itself is of the opinion that kind of recommendation you're suggesting, it out of their scope. So they disagree. I know people want them to think otherwise, but, they don't think so. I'm glad they have not become an activist department going beyond their scope, in this case.
As an indie game dev I would like to deal with as little of a stack as possible. So what high level services could you use to achieve a similar chat feature without having to roll and maintain all of your own infrastructure?

To me something like Firebase could work for this?

It seems like when game dev companies grow they love to blow out all of their own in house solutions so they can have complete ownership and control. But is the cost of ownership of your stack really worth the maintenance costs? Why not outsource as much of the stack to another company that can take advantage of economies of scale?

I've spent a year now using Perl exclusively at my job, and I love it. It's incredibly powerful, expressive, concise, and well-documented. It's a lot like js where the language has some cruft but as long as you're not working with any cowboys you can build some really elegant software.
I'm not saying not to use third parties, I'm disagreeing with using the term essential in that context. It is too encompassing and final of a statement. To me it implies that any innovation in the space cannot possibly happen without the usage of third-party services, which is simply not true.

Question about the 1 CSS/JS file rule.

If you have a 'My Account' section w/several unique rules (say 10k), which is best?
A) One website CSS (main.css) and your users download the My Account rules even though they may never use them
B) 2 CSS files are used for My Account (main.css and myaccount.css)
C) 1 file under My Account that incorporates the main and section rules (main-plus-myaccount.css)?
This is incorrect. The average user, globally, uses Android as their main OS. Desktops in developing nations are never going to reach the same level of ubiquity as in the US and Europe. AAA Gaming there will be console-driven as well.

Desktops in most applications are locked down to the point where they're dumb terminals to run Office and a browser, this is where MS rules, or creative/technical workstations, where Apple currently has a better story and is the only desktop maker growing market-share for the past couple years.
Okay that makes sense but can't one argue that when I see Michael Jordan endorsing a product I can assume that most people know that he is being paid for it. Not to mention my health isn't on the line for the product he is endorsing.

I'm a little concerned to see company registration services demonized. I used one for my own company.

Like a domain registration they also usually provide anonymity by declaring themselves as your office address. That's legitimate too as many contractors don't have an office and don't want thier home address published publicly on the uk companies register. That isn't a fraud.

The BBC makes much of the weird ownership structure, but it is not that crazy. The structure described, 2 companies that basically represent people owning a company that basically does work is a tax efficiency. If the co owners own it directly and take thier money as pay not dividend, they pay more tax. If they take it as dividend not pay, it is split by ownership not hours worked. Better for both directors to be companies that charge the main company per hour for work done and then extract the dividend from those personal company seperately. I wouldn't do it as it has some problems like disguised employment but if compliant it is a tax efficiency not an evasion, and not a criminal activity.

I dunno, it's like saying a secure document destruction company is suspicious. It's just a company that provides a service that most users need to do normal productive business.
