Google's Polymer [0] is probably closer to React than Angular. Angular's more of an application framework. Polymer's more of a Web Components[1] framework, which I think is closer to what React is doing.

What they want to do is to implement the concept of a unikernel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel). That's a very different approach then running a complete OS with their software stack on top. Take a look at the two links in my other comment.
I was coming here to also recommend "How to Listen To and Understand Opera". For the longest time I could not figure out opera at all, and even when I thought I understood it, I learned that I quickly did not.

Learning (or, for some, tolerating until they "get") opera requires a very different frame of reference than learning pop music, or even understanding subgenres of more popular genres. It is one of the more difficult concepts I have had to wrap my head around for some reason.

Out the other side of it, though, I am happy I gave it a go. As an example, the San Francisco Opera is a great company, and as opera patrons age into oblivion these institutions will be finding themselves without an audience if younger generations do not take the time to give opera a go. It is not what most people think; everyone I have run into in the opera house has been courteous, and I haven't detected a hint of snobbery. A night at the opera costs you about as much as seeing a major film, and the sound is pretty magical.

Ironic, in the context of this article.

I'd like to see projects that can integrate the runtime information provided by a JIT VM. What if such a project used this information from the start? Then, the programmers might be able to use information like: This variable has only ever had an int in it, ever, over the entire lifetime of the app.

Such information might be problematic to integrate into a legacy project, but in a language which allowed for optional type annotation, such information could be fed into programmer tools and more easily analyzed. (Example: So, this code here where it's not an int -- do we really need to have this, or could we move the error checking elsewhere, so we can just say that's an int?)

the electron really is the fundamental particle

The curious thing is it has an electric charge of -1. But quarks, constituents of protons and neutrons, have +2/3 and -1/3 charge. So how is it that internally a proton has fractional charges but there's nothing analogous for the electron?

How is it that there's such weird asymmetry there? Why have we only observed -1, +2/3, and -1/3 for electric charge?

Somehow that just doesn't seem "fundamental" to me as a lay person.
Point the control to the real database, and the experiment to an unused database. After each request through Scientist, the two databases should be identical.

Or, make the output be the SQL command used to mutate the database. If the two outputs are different, then you've found something that needs investigation.

Not sure what's the point. Who needs compensation when you hold several billion dollars in stock?
Detroit has advantages that the others don't: A higher concentration of engineers, cheaper land and facilities, more available infrastructure (a city built for millions has (750,000?) residents), low cost of living, etc.

I wonder why people think Yahoo! was not fixable.

I have been using Yahoo! Email (from time when it was sbcglobal), Flickr, reading Yahoo! Finance, and having Yahoo! News as my home page. I do not use any of these any more.

Here is my list how to fix Yahoo!:

1) fix Yahoo! Email (MS did it with outlook.com - Yahoo! could do the same)

2) fix Flickr (i.e., API should work, iPhone upload, some IA, etc.)

3) fix Yahoo! Finance (I remember that they disabled Yahoo! groups for stocks at one point of time - after that flop they never recovered)

4) fix Yahoo! News

I'm not really sure what needs to be "fixed" but something so I can start using the above service again.

Or maybe to build something new.
They need to take that money, break Yahoo up into pieces, sell it, and then whatever money they have they should fund 100,000 startups and see what rises from the ashes.

We're a little crazy. Think of the families of the people who work at Yahoo.

We're also a little overbearing. Who are we to say what others should do with what they own?
Indeed — and I upvoted the post.
But a little bit of context might be handy.
those are all tiny product details that won't fix the company. I am not saying you are wrong, I am saying there is a bigger reason why all those product defects exist. It's the culture. It's the talent.

Interesting - I've always thought Delphi was easier to use than many other systems, but could never put my finger on why. It seems they thought about it a lot at the beginning in a hundred little ways.
Bullet Cluster
Let me try to explain the orthodox economic rationale:

The idea is that we can tax land values like crazy without distorting investment decisions, if we are very careful not to tax improvements to the land like buildings. That's because the supply of land is in some sense the most inelastic economic commodity there is: they stopped making it, and you can't hide it. But, you have to be very careful not to tax the buildings---otherwise you end up with less buildings than is optimal for society.

See the Economist or Wikipedia or Google for more explanation. It's one of the few taxes that don't distort the economy.

http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2015/04/land-val... explicitly talks about the distinction between property taxes and land value taxes.
I like this idea, but I don't understand describing it as "node.js-style". I guess they think of Node as being a particularly ideal platform for implementing "microservices", but honestly I don't think there's any particular property of Node.js itself that makes it microservice-friendly. To me "Node.js" simply means "server-side Javascript", which obviously this isn't (it's C++).
I don't think so, it's hosted on AMO, these addons get signed automatically.

I'm currently running Firefox 43 on Arch Linux:

You're making it sound all complicated with all those frameworks. This is a static site. It needs html, css and some js for animations. To avoid repetition, php/fi ca. 1996 provided this awesome 'include' function.
I actually worked in that building for ~1.5 years. Theres a ton of cool startup stuff happening right around there thanks to Kettering and UM-Flint.

It sounds like we've been fudging the numbers to paint a rosier picture of the economy in hopes that would encourage spending by consumers and, in turn, investors. But it seems the public has not been fooled, probably because that rosy picture doesn't match their bank statements.

My question is: how do we encourage wage growth when it doesn't appear to respond to the cost of living? Has free trade undermined the American worker's ability to negotiate a more favorable salary?

Analyse Asia 81: Semiconductors are eating the world with Ben Bajarin
Looks good, but a lot of setup and configuration to get going. We (https://commando.io) use https://github.com/fiorix/freegeoip in production and it has been amazing.

Freegeoip is super easy to setup, go. It auto-fetches source data from MaxMind, supports https, and has rate limiting capability.
Episode Synopsis: Ben Bajarin from Creative Strategies and Techpinions joined us in an interesting conversation why semiconductors are eating the world. By giving a broad overview of the industry spanning across the globe with a significant presence in Asia with the major players, Samsung and TSMC, we dissect how the semiconductors industry and Moore’s law are shifting the consumer electronics landscape from personal computers to mobile and now to Internet of Things. With the shift from US to China in manufacturing and hardware, we reflected on why it will be increasingly difficult for US to build their own consumer products and the future of consumer hardware will belong to the Chinese in the next two decades. Last but not least, Ben also shared the interesting insights arise from the recent Glance Conference focusing exclusively on the Apple watch.

Aren't they "closed communities" for a reason?
Long term I can see web components/polymer shims being preferred over React, but not till the major browsers catch up. Like the parent says, Facebook is deeply invested in making React work and it really shows. Angular/Polymer always seems more r&d/experimental to me, which is great but not for people who want to do production work.
This seems more like MirageOS/Ling than a rumpkernel. From what I remember, rumpkernels are more general, at the cost of being less "unikernel-y" (i.e. lean and fast). I agree that it would be easier and faster to use a rumpkernel if the intention is use in production soon.

I can't tell if this is a research project, or intended to be production quality at some point.
I think Angular is more accessible than React. I don't think React will be adopted as much by non-engineers. React is usually used alongside significant tooling like babel and webpack/browserify and some flux library. It's probably more complex. You can't just drop some js script file in your HTML document and go with that.

I say that as someone who thinks React is the future of JavaScript development and there's no chance I will ever go back to separate templates so Angular of whatever version is just automatically disqualified. It would be like going back in time and I do not want to do this.
I've been visiting HN daily for 4 years. I've never heard of Product Hunt. Is it actually that big of a deal? I'm sure it's been on the front page here and I've missed it. But apparently not all that often?

Or maybe this is a case where now that I know the name I'll see it everywhere. Funny how that works sometimes...
"I don’t mind requiring two lines of code to accomplish what could be accomplished in one line if I can understand both lines." -- is very true. Even though I don't agree with some of the other things he says. I am not a fan of properties and I like the . vs -> difference which immediately tells you whether something is a pointer. And the notion that you can have the language with pointers and hide if rom the user, I find that questionable.
Or you could use a language with static typing. It might be the line of work that I'm in, but I've never encountered a case where dynamic typing has really been helpful - more often it's been a source of errors, where non-obvious type coercion has been performed by the interpreter/runtime. I can only think of one case where dynamic typing was necessary, but I'll chalk that up to a really poorly designed COM API that I had to work with.

Source maps doesn't compare to actual debugging that GWT used to be able to do (via a browser plugin). GWT died the day they decided that they will no longer support that.
But are their engineers that are un-/under-employed, and specialized in currently in-demand fields ("engineers" not being interchangeable widgets) there? Because, if not, talent that firms need isn't going to be cheap locally. So, what's the draw?

"The fact that sexting is consensual on all sides"

No, it isn't. The whole purpose for laws protecting kids from sexual abuse is that kids can be too young to formulate consent because they don't understand the risks and implications.
As a complete layperson I might be out of my depth, but is that 5% unemployment realistic? If I remember correctly they don't count people who have been unemployed long-term. There's a lot of people who don't work; whether they collect disability/welfare, live off relatives, or make money through the grey/black markets I don't think the job market has really recovered nearly as much as a lot of people think. And a lot of those jobs are part-time or low wage. Perhaps that's anecdotal from the impression I get, but it doesn't seem like their model takes any of that into account.

Even without inflation it doesn't seem like the people I'm around (mostly middle to lower class) have all that much extra spending money laying around these days. If everyone was making more money I'm sure inflation would rebound, but as it is most the new money the Fed has been pumping into the economy seems to be going largely to the upper class.

Software is leading to much more leverage in capital efficiency. This is driving a reduction in CapEx spending in the US despite low interest rates. It's driving a reduced cost in exploration and extraction, which is in turn increasing supply for commodities and energy. We do more today with almost every conceivable good than we ever have before. More with less is the theme and it's getting much more powerful with software. IBM: $100bn, VMWare: $10bn, Docker/Containers: $1bn. All the same stuff. Our efficiency is increasing rapidly, and it's very difficult to predict with historical figures where this goes.
The BLS publishes six unemployment indexes [1] that each include and exclude different groups for which employment status is debatable. However, each index has a largely consistent definition over time. They all follow essentially the same trend [2].

I hate being the guy to call fallacy,* but this reminds me of the Nirvana fallacy here.

You're not comparing the level of scientific rigor in mainstream medicine to the level of scientific rigor in alternative medicine. You're comparing it to the level of scientific rigor that we wish existed in a perfect world. Are you also willing to measure alternative medicine against the same standard so that they can be compared on an equal footing?

P-value fishing is hardly the exclusive province of mainstream medicine. And in the "funding their own studies" department the most notable difference between mainstream pharma and alt med is that the mainstream pharma companies are legally required to disclose this fact (and preregister their studies in order to discourage fishing, too), while in alt med it's standard practice to use cute little financial engineering tricks to try and hide where the funding came from.

* But I don't hate lying on occasion.
Can you still reproduce that after disabling oldbar?
Ironically, I've had the opposite problem with projects built in simple templated KO.

As projects have scaled up and teams grown the lack of formalised framework, combined with the amount of logic-y stuff people apparently LOVE to throw into the templates, has eventually required a rebuild to try to get some structure in there.
Which mainstream hosters don't? The same ones that only support and will only ever support PHP?

> b) having to code a server in javascript's callback/promise hell.

Don't really see promises as hell, but with latest versions of Node and this neat little library called co, you can write your async code like this:

function doAsyncOne() {} // returns promise
function doAsyncTwo() {} // returns promise

co(function*() {
try {
let [resultOne, resultTwo] = yield [doAsyncOne(), doAsyncTwo()];
}
catch(e) {
// one of the promises rejected, handle it
}
});

Generators as coroutines are the poor man's async/await.

I'm a counterexample, I guess: Tosca was the first opera that absolutely enthralled me, cliche or not, even though I had seen others before it. It's my favorite.

Me aside, The Marriage of Figaro is the first one I tell people to see if they can. Act I is engaging from the beginning, and I think does a good job of bringing people into the right mindset to appreciate it even if they don't get opera.
Wow, from +8 to -2, a lot of downvoting on this comment.

All I know is when the first angular 2.0 beta came out, it was not well received by anyone including myself because of the vast difference in syntax (simple -> complex) which is the only reason I and a lot of others picked Angular in the first place. It seems it has been tweeked a lot since then, but those problems have not been fixed. I don't think next version of angular is usable for me.

Typescript's audience is far less than Angular's audience, there should be no reason to use typescript as the official example. This kind of bundling is similar to Microsoft explorer coming with Windows.
As an untrained outside observer (but one who has been thinking a lot recently about the statistics of causality) I'll chime in to say that I'm siding with 'ashearer' here. As I'm reading it, your approach doesn't make sense to me. If you want to distinguish between two treatments (placebo=treated and do-nothing=untreated) you need to measure outcomes for both treated and untreated individuals, and these individuals need to be "exchangeable" to some degree.

Perhaps when you say in the first post "give people placebo", you mean "give the placebo to some subset of the individuals leaving the remainder untreated"? I agree that you can often draw useful conclusions from an observational study as long as some comparable individuals receive each treatment, and as long as you can control for the initial differences between the treated and untreated. But if you are saying that you don't need to look at the results for the untreated group at all, then I think you are mistaken.
You think economists at the Federal Reserve don't know all of those things?

I'm curious if Thailand's human trafficking industry is among your areas of interest. It is recently getting a lot of press coverage but it is nothing new. It is not even well hidden and not something most Thais are concerned about, at least until suddenly international markets for slave-labor-produced products dry up. Seafood [1] and fruit [2] are top of the list. Not only is the problem ignored by Thais in general, but the courts are used to protect the companies profitting from slave labor [3]. And when the Thai government promises to crack down on human trafficking the lead investigator has to flee the country for fear of retribution and seek political asylum [4].

Server side rendering is mentioned in the post - for me, angular 1.x was a dead end because it did not run on the server (disregarding the confusion around services, factories etc, and all the horror in templating logic, debugging it etc) - can anyone give some insights into what this is like?

I've previously written & been part of teams for a few non-trivial 'full stack' js apps that run both on the client and server, and react's abstraction from the DOM is perfect for such things. Wondering what the 2.x approach is here.

As an aside, seems to me that the days of running JS purely in the client are coming to an end, for projects when developers can have a free hand on the tech stack.
