The early web days were spend developing basic web pages without any complex tools.

These days everyone seems to think they need an application style site, and whilst some sites really do benefit from this approach, others don't.

The trinity of web standards (html/js/css) are still valid for informational, mostly static web pages, but are impractical for developing applications.

The discussion of what is a web application is a tricky one to put a finger on, with a lot of grey area. I think of a classic web page being the about us page of a website, while an application is something like photoshop. In between you have things like twitter, or gmail, amazon, facebook etc.
I really can't properly fathom what the hell was going on with the captain and crew. Like, I know people have weird responses to high-stress situations, but the actions of the captain and crew beggar belief.

Well, you have to obeye local law. Only because the internet makes it easy to provide services in other countries doesn't put you outside their law - the territorial principle applies.

Regarding the data protection specifics, well, maybe it makes sense to follow the standards of the most rigid country globally?

The wild west manner of US-companies and government are really annoying, the mindset is - if I get my hand on the data it's my property. That is wrong, the user trusts "you" with it's data and expects it's usage only in the beforehand given consent for the necessary purposes.
It's like copyright, the company has certain usage rights but does not own it.

The principles are easy: data processing has to be purposeful, lawful, fair and user rights and will is to be respected.
Nothing prevents you from not putting HTML inside JavaScript when using React. Personally I've found that this JSX approach doesn't integrate with certain editors very well, so I just use raw React.createElement calls. Assign it to a short variable and it really isn't bad at all. I even tried a s-exp syntactical transformer, and it works even better. HTML is basically just s-exp with an ugly syntax, so it feels even more natural doing that.

When I first began delving into reactive client interface frameworks. This was one of my biggest gripes. It looks, and reads like a giant confusing mess. I finally came across http://vuejs.org/ and I haven't looked back. Simple binding syntax to html elements, and powerful enough for most projects without being heavyweight.

I mean it doesn't get any more straightforward than this.

<div id="app">
<p>{{ message }}</p>
<input v-model="message">
</div>

new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
message: 'Hello Vue.js!'
}
})
It's DES. And yes.

"Vinod Khosla, first President of Sun, came to me at one point and said to put something hidden, triggered in an unexpected way, into the ROM Monitor, so that if somebody cloned the Sun Workstation (violating our software’s copyright), we could do that unexpected thing to the competitor’s demo workstation at a trade show and thereby prove that they had cloned it."

"I had found that saying years
before on a hand-painted sign tacked up on a pole or tree in central Pennsylvania, wrote it into one of my notebooks at the time, and plucked it out as the hidden thing after Vinod asked."
> we can fill that emptiness that lingers inside

That's quite the generalisation, right there. One thing I learned a long time ago is to (try) not to assume the inside of everyone else's head is the same as mine. We're all wired differently, sometimes slightly and sometimes profoundly.
And the odds of being mugged are even higher, depending on who you ask.

Meanwhile, in Europe, you're carded for butter knives. In the US, laws vary, but generally speaking you can buy cooking equipment without having to undergo a background check.

Some laws are helpful, others are harmful, and sometimes they're just plain silly.

Well the very rich, as in those can afford eighty to one hundred thousand dollar cars, usually have more than a few at hand. Tesla did well to market to both the rich crowd who likes toys, the environmental crowd who needs things to make them feel less guilt, and the techies who just love all things new and cool.

You don't crush a market with the volume Tesla has. Most of the big brands use these as cash cows. Put it this way, BMW makes a X5 and X6 which are effectively identical but the later makes 8k more profile and they sold a quarter million of them since inception.

When Tesla can deliver what people want to buy right now and not make them wait then they might be crushing the competition.

As for the 3 EV. Still not seeing it, it will obsolete the S if Musk's boasts are to believe and why would any company put out a car for less than half the price with the main key feature being the same, 200+ mile range? Tesla doesn't have the production capacity for it so who will be their partner? Or where will they get the billions needed to build the production line that can deliver in volume?

Good cars, not just sold on them being great. Sorry but 200-250 mile range in summer is not what I consider a replacement vehicle for stats, make as second vehicle or third.

Tesla is huge in Norway because of a number of large tax advantages from income tax deductions, to free registration, etc.

That being said, they obviously wouldn't sell if they didn't work but I wouldn't look at the popularity there as endorsement of cold weather performance, other factors are at play.
The CC0 license is long because it attempts to get as close to public domain in as many jurisdictions as possible.
I worked for Amazon for four years. For nearly the entire time I worked there, I, as an engineer, had access to every customer's purchase history, contact information, email addresses, etc. The reason? On occasion, I'd need to get a user's email address to reach out to them if they reported bugs. The one service that offers employees this access is all or nothing. Either you get to see a customer's email, credit card number, and purchase history - or you get to see nothing at all.

Everyone knew that I had this access, and everyone knew that it was against Amazon's own policy to give me access. But to them, that was easier than fixing the service so that it was more useful.

Perhaps I'm just clueless, but something tells me that any relevant competitor to Amazon - say, I don't know, Google - would choose to fix the service instead.
You know your week is off to an interesting start when an article about an obscure* stoner metal band is on the front page of Hacker News.

* Obscure by mainstream standards, insofar as most people can't tell you what "doom" or "stoner" metal means. They're fairly well-known within the circle.
"I like how getting 46% gain over already optimized C code is considered "insignificant".

Author here (again!) I used SIMD in different algorithms and often speedup was greater than 2, 3, or more. So, from my skewed point of view speedup less than 2 isn't very impressive. :) But I buy your opinion, next time I'll try to be more enthusiastic.
Design tools for non-designers
I enjoyed the book but agree that it was pretty pedantic and for lots of people that's overkill. That said, I think you missed the two points that I found most useful:

1. When deciding what to keep/discard, keep things that "spark joy in your heart". That is, don't use rules like "If I haven't worn this in X".. The book's explanations around this are pretty helpful.
2. Do the big purge in order of type-of-thing... not room by room. I think the specific order prescribed is something like Clothes, Books, Papers, [I forget, I forget], Keepsakes. Going by type makes it easier to make sound decisions, and the sequence of types warms you up for hard purges (keepsakes, etc) that will otherwise likely hang you up in room #1.

All of that said, I only really got through Clothes, books, and papers... but even just that was massively helpful.

Kernel Panic: with crafted x509 certificate DER files
So I think that was grand-OPs point to a degree. If you can't always do companyname@mydomain.com there is a change you will forget what you used: Example:

aws vs amazon-web-services vs amazon.web.services

facebook vs fb vs fbook

Or for example I've used Rally the project management tool but my health insurance uses a (terrible) "rewards" program called "werally" but it's ALWAYS referred to "rally". It can get unmanageable.

Now I use 1Password to track all of this stuff which works well so I think there are solution but I do understand the grand-OPs point.
In all fairness this is ancient history on the PHP world.
I hadn't heard about JSX before so I went to your link to check it out. This is just one of the most off-putting introductory statements I've ever read:

JSX is a JavaScript syntax extension that looks similar to XML.

Don't we all hate XML? How can you possibly even go on reading about this technology further if it's introduced like that.
You can't correct for inadequate sample sizes with statistics and still expect a clinically relevant result (the confidence interval would be too large). The issue isn't contamination in small samples, it's that the biomarkers they need to measure may not be accurately measurable at such small volumes - in particular with the value ranges required for the test.

It may just be that their "nanotainer" tests may only be viable for boolean tests like their herpes test (herpes DNA present - yes / no).
Sucks for their investors, but I can think of more tragic things than some VCs getting taken for a ride.
Yes, luxury cars are as much a fashion statement as they are transportation. Most owners will want to stay current and will trade the car after a few years even if nothing is wrong with it.

Owners just build in the monthly lease or loan payment to their cash flow budget.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, I only buy used cars for cash and have not had a car payment in almost 20 years.

Unfortunately, that self-experiment has the problem of the subject (yourself) knowing which "treatment" you're getting. I'm not sure how to double-blind something like this, though. It may require a study where we record subjects' sleep patters, make them use a screen at night, but don't tell them that it's the screen colors that are under experiment.

In addition to what you say, there's nothing wrong with collecting things you're passionate about. Sure, value your relationships with family and friends, love the great outdoors if you must, but there's nothing wrong with also valuing your hobbies even if they involve collecting stuff.

Disclaimer: I am extremely untidy and also collect scale models and miniatures. My house is a mess, but that's a personality flaw (my kitchen is also very untidy, and that has to do with being a slob, not with the number of things I have in it). Of course, none of my stuff is "essential", but life is made up of nonessential things too.

I understand the criticism of mindless consumerism (for example, I couldn't be less interested in having the latest gadget, smartphone, etc, and I don't understand the people who are), but I really don't get the fetishism about not owning stuff.
I think the best solution, for now, is to just regularly check your full credit report for anything you don't recognize and watch your credit card, debit card statements for any purchases you don't recognize.

I've had credit cards get compromised in the past, and it was actually quite painless to have my bank (Chase) shut the card down and issue a new one.

Your information can be stolen from SO MANY sources and not just Amazon customer service. It's impossible to guarantee who sees any of your personal information once you share it with ANYONE on the internet (Amazon, Google, some random retailer, domain registrar, etc.).

The server at your local Applebees could steal your CC info.

Be sensible with where you share personal information, but don't be unreasonable. It's safe to use Amazon.

Just watch your credit report (regardless of whether you feel you're at high risk) and bank statements.

If/when a problem arises, then deal with it.
That's the point that pkrumins/andreyvit are making, code where logic and presentation are mixed turn into a nightmare to maintain. And the practice is now ancient history.

An S-class drivetrain will last a lot longer than 150K miles if it's given its proper routine maintenance (fluid changes etc). 300K-500K miles not unheard of. Not to say that other parts of the car, e.g. climate control and other fancy gizmos will last that long, but Tesla will be no different in that regard.

I don't listen to a lot of stoner/doom metal (Pallbearer's about the closest I get, really), but I absolutely adore this album. It's so extreme in concept, but very easy to digest. It's an absolute masterpiece of musicianship (and has some of the funniest lyrics I've ever heard). Very happy to see the Times, of all places, give it a plug.
Thanks for the spelling correction, very helpful.

The only safe assumption is that the NSA knows how to break modern crypto. Otherwise, you're taking a risk every time you encrypt something you don't want them looking at.

And if the NSA found a flaw in a crypto algorithm, do you really think they would leave evidence of that anywhere? You're talking about an organization that basically invented the entire idea of OpSec...

Since the advent of fuel injection, cold start is no longer really a problem for cars, assuming they have a good battery. Synthetic oil helps, it flows better when cold. And yes block heaters for extreme cold.
Not counting online games, I've played many 100s of games of chess with many dozens of people, mostly strangers, incl 12-year-olds (when I was 12) and not once did a dispute or difference of opinion arise about the legality of any move (incl en-passant moves).

What is the name of this strange country where players who are not just starting out don't know the rules of chess?
Firstly, the submission title is not a quote (for anyone wondering).

Secondly, how else do you expect the process to work? They don't hold your key, so to decrypt the data you have to provide the key. The data is held on their server, and to decrypt it to send to you they have to decrypt it. So you have to provide the encryption key at some point? Once you have your data restored, you can change the encryption key.

I think this is a good example where the usual association government run = bureaucratic ; privately run = straightforward breaks down because bureaucracy/non bureaucracy is not a function of the economic model but that of the inherent simplicity of the model.
One of the reasons why many soicialised systems of healthcare are 'simpler' is because they have universal coverage which means that the whole process of checking who is eligible to see a doctor, does their plan cover this doctor, did they pay their premium, which treatments they are eligible for, how much of their spending limit they have exhausted do not exist because everyone is eligible and everyone is eligible for everything.

> There is some good, but there is a case that non-profits such as the Red Cross, churches, food banks, are more accountable and do more good.

There isn't any such case, if approached realistically. Government agencies spend trillions of dollars each year on helping the poor, the old, and the disabled in various ways. They do so in ways that are fantastically accountable (compared to the private sector), including but not limited to the fact that basically any document about anything written by anyone working at these agencies can be requested by a member of the public and the government must give them a copy. The executives working at government agencies are paid frugally, their books are audited regularly, and they are subject to dismissal for even minor transgressions.

Total charitable giving in the U.S. is an order of magnitude lower (even assuming that every cent was spent on something good, which is far from the truth), their accountability consists of (at most) a mandatory report every year and nothing else (often not even that), and their executives are now hitting 7-figure salaries.

It's not even close.

That's one of the things these articles don't really take into account: games, much like movies, tv shows, music, etc. evolve and crossbreed. Some good games could become virtually unplayed because they were so great that the following generation of game designers took the mechanics they liked in them and used them to create new games.

This is a good idea on several counts:

First, it helps the addicts develop a better life. Regardless of your stance on the drugs themselves, it's hard to defend real addiction.

Second, it frees up prison space.

Third, it reduces demand for the drug, which is how the drug war should've been fought all along.
Microsoft gives startups free software licenses for the first 3 years and free/discounted access to Windows Servers on Azure. After 3 years you're almost certainly either making so much or so little money the extra license cost won't be a significant factor.
This doesn't answer your question but ..
If you look a little closer you'll see that there is a lot changing in the medical system. 1. More and more computer use in every aspect. 2. Huge companies are being formed through the merging or buyout of hospitals and large provider networks. 3. The way insurances pay doctors is changing and these insurance companies (which are flat out buying up doctors offices, for example United Healthcare, Optum and all that their doing) have huge control over the price of health care.

You might be right that there is a breaking point, but there is a ton changing right now so I don't see that point any time soon.
I came to the comments section to ask the same question. I've always liked the idea of reflection but avoided it because of performance scares (and usually I can solve the problem another way).

Since we're discussing the performance footprint of regular expression libraries, it's also worth mentioning how slow even just running the base regexp library can be. For example, the email example could also be written without regex:

indices := strings.Split("joe@example.com", "@")
fmt.Println("Name:", indices[0])
fmt.Println("Domain:", indices[1])

( https://play.golang.org/p/ZezcoBjc9v )

Obviously the above code doesn't do any sanity checks - which is where regular expressions can often make things easier. But the above would run a lot faster than a regexp pattern match.
I explicitly do _not_ state that it applies to React, because there's no domain logic in React components. (Or at least there shouldn't be. It is certainly possible to write a spaghetti component that would do everything.)

The Health Benefits of Knitting
Adsense pays a fraction of a cent per click-through, and less (sometimes nothing, depending on the site) per ad impression. It doesn't pay out until you credit reaches $100. So, with your level of traffic, you could conceivably get paid $100 a year by adsense, if none of your visitors used adblock.

On the other hand, adsense doesn't take much effort to set up, so it may be that the ten or twenty minutes of your time spent setting up adsense ads once will be worth the hundred dollars down the line.

In my experience: I run adsense on many youtube videos and several sites, and have done so since 2006. My balance went up to $8 during 2006-2007, and is currently at just under $10. I have never gotten a pay out. At the current rate, I will get paid in 99 years. I do not get 10k pageviews per month in aggregate across all my sites, though.
