Any intermediary will face the issue of having user deposit an advance payment so micropayments can happen.

Unless one has balls enough to factor in debt in micropayments. You sign up users and make them agree to pay those .02 at a later time and when you're down five dollars the usets need to pay to continue. It's risky but with enough margin to cover the insolvents it could work
Of course you're right that we do need to support SVG and vector formats, but it's also not entirely true that "vector >> raster" in all cases.

Raster does have limited resolution, but so does your screen or most output devices (yes, even scientific plotters).

It's also not necessarily true that it has a higher storage footprint; it depends on the complexity and number of glyphs, the fonts you need to embed for the LaTeX formulae, etc. etc. In large-data cases, raster can be a much more viable visualization transfer medium.
I agree. That's sorta what HN used to feel like also...

How do you deal with hierarchical data and repeated fields? Do you support those in queries (a-la Google BigQuery)? Do you support aggregations?

how does using the monotonic api protect against time discontinuity as seen when a vm is migrated from one hypervisor to another for example?
This is hilarious, or would be if the consequences were not so sad.

It's listening to someone standing on the deck of the titanic talking about the complexity of the design of the ship, how many great and esteemed members of the establishment signed off on it, and how crazy it is that anyone on the deck is pointing out that it's sinking because they can actually see it sinking, like anyone else can that actually looks at the horizon.

This is not a rebuttal. Arguments from authority about why the masters of the universe have it all figured out and those who are pointing out that they have no clothes are just clueless barbarians at the gate are fundamentally invalid.

Complexity, obfuscation and worship at the altar of authority do not actually make for solid fundamentals. This ship is going down, massively increasing the tokens for the representation of scarce resources so that the people who controlled the tokens back the last time they completely failed, does not make the people that controlled those tokens any more competent than they were at the actual game in question last time they failed.

All the central bank moves, the macroeconomic obfuscation, lies, Keynesian nonsense, negative interest rates, cash ban proposals, underhanded capital controls, worldwide currency wars, geopolitical games with oil to back fundamentally worthless scrip, bail-ins, bail-outs etc, none of it changes the underlying fact that the presently dominant system ordering the allocation and distribution of scarce resources is, as you sit here on the deck of the ship dismissing that fact, sinking below the horizon.
I cannot. However the performance of the apps on my colleagues' phones serves as enecdotal evidence IMO.
I agree. For example, if you spend exactly $1000 on advertising a day, and have no network effects, you will get linear user growth.

Meshes are closer but vector networks also attach specific attributes to edges which is not usually the case with meshes. Examples: control handles (for curves), stroke weight, dash pattern.

Have they been coupled historically? Wages are driven by supply and demand, and in the short term, productivity growth would reduce labor demand.

Long term, it feels like there's an open debate between productivity fueling economic growth and productivity causing a plateau of labor demand and people working less.

That, and it's not like real wages can grow forever.

My cousin used to work there as startup developer.
He attempted suicide due to depression and loneliness. He was on SSRI's and Klonopin?. He had trouble with relationships, and was isolated from family (all on the east coast). My uncle brought him back, and our extended family has been taking care of him.
He's doing a lot better.

I don't mean to be an armchair psychiatrist, but I think loneliness and or stress can exacerbate depression, and family or something like it can make a world of difference.
I think they're accounting for the fact that Google doesn't control all ads across the web.
People don't talk about having anxiety or depression in the office, or mood changes. Its expected that you just hide it. Tech gives you more leeway to do your own thing most of the time which I'm thankful for, but I can't call out to work because I'm feeling extra anxious one day. I DO end up working at home those days, rare as they are. The stigma that would be attached to me as a "weak-willed" person that sometimes has anxiety issues would be devastating for my career - people do not allow others leadership positions unless they can demonstrate a steady hand. Simply the suggestion that you are facing internal strife enough to mention it in the workplace can be a very large hit to your perception as a solid worker.

Managers want consistency in the work output above all else frequently, despite all of our emotional hardware. Simply admitting that you have good days and bad days can sometimes feel like quite a feat.
Assuming I can reply to my own post? Anyway, I dug up comments from a Gentoo Developer and ZFS On Linux contributor, Richard Yaoon Phoronix: "Michael's prediction that 15.10 will use a DKMS package is likely correct ... there is no legal issue preventing the sources from being combined because neither the CDDL nor the GPL place restrictions on aggregations of source code, which is what putting ZFS into the same tree as Linux would be. Binary modules built from such a tree could be distributed with the kernel's GPL modules under what the GPL considers to be an aggregate"

There is this game I like called pass/passback, I play it when I am teaching and helping out in young-age classrooms and environments. It's really good. You can buy your co-workers a coffee or a nice little snack -- hershey's kisses are great. Consider that the "pass" and don't expect any "pass backs" -- just pass some people some nice stuff, even some kind words that you spend some time conjuring, and your relationships can thrive. It's a simple technique, easy enough to implement, and the results are amazing because people actually love passing back. It's in our nature to honor one another -- just uncover it little by little and know that you're doing it right.
Is there a specific syntax for nested fields, such as `res.status:403`, or do you flatten the json structure for indexing purposes?

Crap, I had no idea about any of this. I'm going straight to Mr. Boss man in the morning and letting them know we need to rewrite this in React! Wait, isn't that that just a shiny, new tool too?! I guess we should just stick to tried and true html/css no javascript, don't want to be too fancy after all... think of mobile! (it reminds me of people screaming think of the children!)

anyways, i'm bored figured i'd have some fun quote replying to the wind. Hope you feel better soon.

"A good developer should be able to distinguish another fancy technology from the running tool." --- like react?

"if you try to use server side rendering for example to speed up page rendering, or for SEO (or both), then you will be disappointed."

- I'm not quite sure I get what OP is saying here, what would you be doing with a server side language to speed up an html page with javascript? Plus, these apps can be crawled if you use html5 push state correctly. Though, how well idk my app is a tool not a site.

"Just think to yourself, would they rewrite the framework if it already was good?"

- Just ask yourself, if you made something once that worked, why refactor it. How about this, any framework/codebase/snippet, that you never rewrite never will benefit from the lessons you learned from writing it the first time. You sound knowledgeable enough to have experienced this, what's up?

"Angular is the same cheap car. You can drive it, but you will definitely get huge problems"

- Not quite, more like Angular is a complicated framework that takes time and practice to learn to use it effectively. Just like any other framework, not library like react, but a framework. They are all opinionated and you are forced into their point of view. That doesn't mean it's not useful; it's a tool, not a blanket solution.

I read a lot of "I'm feeling old now." Interesting, because you should be feeling like the fucking Indiana Jones compared to the little drones parents are raising today. This is just very very sad. I'd love to actually comment something constructive about this article but it absolutely blows my mind that parents are OK with all of this.

The problem is that Periscope is a startup. Wall St will not like Twitter to be run as a startup, and yet Dorsey is trying to position Periscope as the savior for Twitter. I think that Periscope is an awesome product btw, but sinking Twitter may take it down with it unfortunately.

In the "Technical Vision" part of our docs, I speak to this a little bit: http://bokehplots.com/pages/technical-vision.html

A very large part of the vision is that we want to support accurate and useful visualization on large datasets. This is now encapsulated in the Datashader library (although it plays well with Bokeh itself): https://github.com/bokeh/datashader

If you are interested in this, we just did a webinar this week on Datashader, and demonstrate how to easily visualize billions of points through the browser, in a few seconds, on a single machine: https://continuum-analytics.wistia.com/medias/8zu9idwoym?mkt...

I don't know much about the project but I have a lot of experience with asm.js. Using asm.js has many drawbacks and should only be used if the tradeoffs are acceptable. Some of the large issues:

- A bad debugging experience (no segfaults on null, local variables are numbers instead of strings or objects, function pointer calls are super confusing)

- Much more difficult to interoperate with external JavaScript libraries

- Massive code bloat (you have to reinvent everything like arrays, strings, maps, regexes, memory management, etc. instead of just using the browser's built-in implementations)

You're mistakingly conflating negative interest rates and negative inflation (aka deflation). They are quite different; in fact, their correlation is quite strongly negative, i.e. increasing the interest rate tends to decrease the inflation rate.

On the topic of rescussitating the economy, funding public works projects would certainly have better long-term success than the current QE policy (i.e. the FED buying securities that never should have been legally issued in the first place).

Even better would be a modern debt jubilee, a la Steve Keen's suggestion, in which all citizens are given a cash infusion that automatically pays down any outstanding debt, if present, or becomes a liquid asset if the citizen is debt free. This would reset the monetary system back to a state in which further investment can be financed within the system. The amount would of course need to be controlled so as to not induce immediate inflation, and restrictions on banks (e.g. Glass-Steagall) would need to be reinstated and enforced so as to delay the inevitable return to record high private debt levels.

> The cost of being able to efficiently deploy 5 or so services is probably 5x the cost of deploying your single Monolith

I don't know. As soon as you have reasonable Ansible templates for everything, it doesn't matter that much that you're deploying 1, 2, 5, or 50 services.
The point was that, while you can raise the query from a western scientific reductionist perspective and put ethics completely on hold, we're ridiculously similar genetically and behaviorally, such that the certainty is very high without the need for torture.

Ruby is so behind in this... :/ The closest thing I could find, which is only just a proposed enhancement in a github project, is considering adding ploty.js to Flammarion (a new Ruby GUI toolkit using the browser as working window), or maybe Ruby Processing to some extent?
I haven't seen any evidence that it's false, though, either, and there are obviously physical and mental differences between sexes/races/whatever, so it seems more likely to me that this would follow the rule, rather than be the exception.

I agree on the raw-sql-in-your-application point.

I prefer simple rowmapping to ORM making your queries for you any day. On previous java project, all the SQL was actually in XML files that were loaded by the repositories by which they were used. Debugging that was much easier (especially when it came to performance issues) than having an ORM because there was no ORM to reason (and possibly be wrong) about.

As far as cutting down on repetition with queries, I found that using some higher order functions (essentially templating, at that point) would clear that right up.
Dues are fine, someone needs to pay for the people who manage the union (Bernie Sanders contributions could be considered dues for those who believe in his causes, me included). I agree that political contributions should be prohibited though (as well as corporate political contributions).
Almost all countries tax foreign income of residents. In your example you would be taxed on gains beyond the initial amount in all countries that aren't considered to be tax havens.

> The bag with the remains of the watches gets carefully pocketed and some of the money goes towards ordering a round of drinks for everybody.

I might have misunderstood this bit (in which case, oops). I see way too many people making the assumption that cryonics is somehow primarily profit motivated. Taking money out of the cryonics trust to "buy drinks" would potentially cost the lives of patients, as the organization must remain stable in addition to the revival being achievable to begin with. The incentive is towards long term savings.

> So, how about my watch, asks one of the people that handed over his watch and his money. "Oh, that's the hard part, I haven't really studied that yet, come back in a few 100 years and I might have your watch again. But I'm getting better at smashing watches, that's for sure."

This analogy doesn't make much sense to me. Cryonics is about trying to prevent something that will inevitably be smashed from being smashed as badly. Saying cryonics is about smashing things is like saying seat belts are about cars crashing into each other.

Obviously no technology will give you infinite horizontal scaling for any sufficiently complex app.

There is more than one way to achieve scalability. Microservices is just one of the possible choices. It annoys me that developers increasingly see it as the only one.

This technique is useful for general neuroscience purposes, yes. My point was just that it isn't what is critical to preserve for the sake of cryonics.
The way it actually works is that if the value of a bank to society is less than the profit the bank wishes to make, even after making stupid and bad business choices, taxpayers need to make up the difference.

Hence "screwed."

The curse of the gifted programmer (2000)
Daily standups and a fear of being "caught" on those days where you maybe spent the whole day getting around to doing something that would take you 30 minutes in the zone add to the stress. Standups become vague/dishonest to further hide the issue. The truth is sometimes you just need to blow off the whole day, maybe even a whole few days. A lot of devs actually understand needing to take random days off here and there even without having underlying issues. But it's hard to justify to managers taking those off, even if unpaid (let alone a random week off after you've determined Monday morning you're just not into it at all). I suspect a culture of open slack would make the stressed out employees a lot less stressed out, but it probably isn't great for the business. There was a startup that was hiring in the Seattle area a few months ago that stated upfront they only sort of want you to work 20 hours a week, very loose, I wonder how it's going.

This is even worse when you're recovering from burnout. If you reveal you suffered from burnout and are still recovering, you're effectively admitting your productive output is some percentage of what it used to be. Even if you used to be above average, you're implying that you're probably below-average now, and it'd make more economic sense to replace you or at least pay you much less. (And I bet a lot of devs actually would probably give up half their salary in exchange for only being expected to be around half the time, which may be a good compromise.)

From the business owner side I sympathize with wanting to have a workforce full of Carmacks. But realistically speaking, that's very hard to accomplish, and there's something to be said for giving even us somewhat defective mortals something constructive to do so long as we're not contributing negative value that isn't based on pure economic utility.

JavaScript doesn't really scale vertically, not by standard usage. You can't double the CPU cores and RAM and I/O and double your throughput.
But a particularly powerful one, it's not attaching to feelings of escape or enjoyment but friendship and social status. So even if you dislike you can't not participate without serious consequences. Especially when you are at an age when social status is of extreme importance, that gives the operators of the network and app a hell of a lot of power and a new flavor of power at that.
