I would love to see a map of the US arranged like this. New York is often undersized in statistics because so much of the metropolitan area really exists in New Jersey or West Chester. The fact that the eastern parts of Brookly & Queens count towards NYC while Jersey City & Hudson County doesn't feels like an accident of geography and not an actual distinction that matters.
Fair, indeed.

That's a good point. But then, tail-recursive functions are loops, so I guess I should have expected the correspondence.
The zen of the Internet is this: it minimizes the significance of physical location from the interaction equation. This seems small, but is in fact huge: as any high school social studies student can tell you, most of human history is a story of "Location, location, location."

This is the huge feature that the Internet of Things is built upon, but sadly, far too few players in this market have yet accepted the full ramifications of the feature---while all the devices you own are now functionally within speaking distance of each other, every criminal on the planet is also now within speaking distance of them.

Hopefully, more manufacturers will wise up to this concern. Until then, I'm rolling my own IoT solutions.

That's obviously a grotesque simplification. The investor-state dispute resolution mechanisms are supposed to protect against legislation that amounts to expropriation, or that unfairly targets only foreign companies. It specifically names environmental protection, consumer welfare and other legitimate aims of new legislation.

There's a lot to criticise with these mechanisms without resorting to misrepresentation.
Lol. I found React interesting, too, but I don't like to read Javascript code, so I rolled my own React-like framework in Scala. Life is so much easier if you don't have to depend on other peoples mess.

In life sciences, the last author is almost always the person whose grants paid for most of the research. Usually, they also helped supervise the research, but the grant aspect is more important.

For example: Mike Synder, a brilliant biologist, 'supervises' 36 postdocs, 13 research assistants, 11 research scientists, 9 visiting scientists, and 8 graduate students (http://snyderlab.stanford.edu/members3.html - thanks to Lior Pacter for noticing it).

In 2014, he had 42 published papers. How much scientific input do you think he had on each one?

This is especially obnoxious considering that coreclr now runs on linux, we can use MonoDevelop to achieve crossplatform with a lot of the language niceties (and more) that Haxe offers.

Agree with this fully because had experienced this first-hand.

We had a working monoloth, it was not the best but it was stable and it did the job. Then new CTO comes in and spreads the microservice hype. We built everything in microservices in such hurry and didn't even implement the most important part - the orchestration.

Now system is doing pretty much the same thing, except it's way less stable. But hey, we're microservices! (Also went from PHP to Node, which also IMO is a huge mistake)

I guess different cultures have different ideas of friendship.

For me a friend is someone you call at 3AM with "I need you", and he don't even asks the question - "who is this guy", while you bury the body. And some for whom you will do the same.

You may have a couple of those in your life if you are extremely lucky and you don't lose them even if they are half the world away and you talk once per year.

But I guess the majority of friendships the articles talk about are acquaintances. A true friendship is forged in fire, hardened, tempered and not brittle at all.

Dedicating time to myself is the most challenging because the feedback loops are long and unpleasant. If I don't dedicate enough, I feel overwhelmed and maybe behave in a regrettable way. I usually don't have a problem dedicating too much time for myself, since there's many fun things to do with others or a friend in need.
I've just started playing with React and my general opinion is that it's a very 'Facebook' project. Lots of restrictions on what you can do and when keeping all of the coders in line with what you're supposed to be doing and following the 'Facebook' way of programming. I'm sure it's great for writing traditional crud apps, but anything outside of the box that it wasn't intended is a major pain requiring major hacks just to get around it's ideas of data protection and timing.

I'm sure there are plenty that like this rigidity, but for me, I'll pass.
I'm a little suspect of the findings, mostly because the study was commissioned by HM Treasury...which is a department of the UK government.

Yes, this is quite true. When developing mobile apps for global health projects they are typically in Android. We are working with research teams on the other side of the planet and it is handy to send them a Windows version of an app which they can easily run without needing to install each time on a tablet or phone.

He's a lot closer to the larger geopolitical game being played. In the world that us techies live in, a government-controlled backdoor is an irredeemable assault on our civil liberties, not to mention useless at the actual task of national security. In his, a backdoor that US agencies can access would be an insanely useful espionage tool against Russia and China, and he has to, as a patriot, believe in our law enforcement personnel and trust them to not abuse their power.

Lines in the sand have been drawn. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Apple is hell-bent on giving the world real, honest-to-god security. It's never existed before. Every technology so far had failure points that state-level actors could find and exploit.

Encryption technology represents a brave new world where anybody can move and hide information outside the reach of governmental authority. The stakes are incredibly high here.

I think you've missed the point. The thesis of the flowchart isn't that there's just one way to build React programs, but rather that it's the opposite: one reason people get sad with React is that they cargo-cult things from other projects that aren't relevant to their own project, and another reason is that people are missing things from other projects that might help.

> Historically, Istanbul was always part of "The Orient" - it's where Europe ended.

That is factually wrong in so many ways.

To start with, the archipelagos and coasts between today-Greece and today-Turkey shared a common history right about the time "western civilization" is commonly supposed to be born.

Then the Roman Empire happened and Constantinople became central to the whole enterprise, in many ways more Roman than Rome, to the point of surviving almost unscathed the fall of its Western counterpart in a myriad of tribal wars. In the meantime, one guy born in today-Turkey went on to become St. Paul and basically rewrite the Christian gospel as he saw fit.

Istanbul "left Europe" only when the Ottoman conquest happened; and the Ottomans themselves quickly rebranded Constantinople as their capital, openly stating that they were the true heirs of the fallen Roman Empire. Even at this time, with the follow-up of crusading and so on, Venetian ships were busy building cultural and economic bridges between today-Turkey and today-Italy. Despite the friction of Islam and Christianity, Mediterranean traders went along better than either side ever did with their barbarous Northern counterparts.

The fracture that Islamization brought never quite healed, and you can argue about Turkey being "different" from mainland Europe ever since the Ottomans; but you simply cannot say that it's "always" been like that, there is just no factual basis for that statement.

Regarding the views of this or that population about Turkey, they are not unique. Someone was busy this morning on HN arguing that the French don't think the UK belongs in Europe. I know plenty of Swedish people who don't think Finland is Europe, let alone Russia. Personally, the low level of civility demonstrated at various points by several politicians in Hungary, Poland and so on, could very well mean they are not Europeans either. That is not the point. You build the future by looking ahead, not by looking back.

"If voting mattered, they wouldn't let you do it".

Honestly, voting gets more credit than it deserves. I don't think it's 100% corrupt at the booths, but the candidates that are allowed to compete are vetted by the elites.

Interestingly enough, both Sanders and Trump have snubbed the major political systems, but neither of them are really that much of a threat to the establishment.

Those that are truly feared (e.g. MLK Jr, Malcolm X, perhaps JFK) are not 'allowed' to take part in the game.
Can we get away from the "programming" == "web programming" fallacy? Building simple CRUD on a RoR stack is but one tiny part of the professional programming world.

Hell, I could consider myself a web developer of sorts, and I wear many hats: algorithm design, basic database optimization, backend services, REST API design/implementation, basic security, profiling/benchmarking (client-side, server-side, and backend services), basic interaction design, basic project management (of the tech lead variety), code review, debugging, basic devops deployment/monitoring, etc. etc. etc.

(You might notice I put "basic" on a lot of those; I'm just old enough to have stopped thinking that I'm really good at most of this.)

...and that leaves out the zillion other things that programmers of various stripes do: custom kernel builds, real nuts-and-bolts database optimization (i.e. "OK, I'm going to go patch MySQL now"), sensors/microcontrollers, real-time computing, scientific computing, distributed systems design/implementation, content design, visual design, data analytics, growth hacking, user testing, playtesting, statistical machine learning, writing academic papers, public speaking (e.g. "developer evangelist" roles, or anyone who ever has to present their work in meetings), open-sourcing...

gasp OK, I've got to go do some of the aforementioned things now, before I spend all day writing this list :)

FWIW, it was actually 2006:

http://techcrunch.com/2006/10/10/google-docs-spreadsheets-la...

However, the realtime collaboration described in this article came from a ground-up rewrite, really an entirely new product, that did launch in 2012 or thereabouts. The original Google Docs word processor would synchronize at intervals, on the order of every 15 to 30 seconds. The new architecture is much more realtime. It also contained a completely new approach to in-browser editing, doing away with content-editable in favor of a pure JavaScript editing+layout engine that allowed for pagination and other features not supported by browser content-editable implementations.

(Source: I was part of Writely - the startup that became the word processing side of Docs. We launched around June 2005, were acquired by Google in March 2006, quietly relaunched on Google infrastructure at the end of June, and I don't recall the exact launch date of the combined "Docs & Spreadsheets" product but October 2006, as stated in the article linked above, sounds about right. My only involvement in the rewrite was to hand that team a list of reasons I thought that what they wanted to do wasn't possible.)

I'd generally look at issues like that from an entirely different perspective (personally). If it's possible for legislation to oppress people, it seems like the goal should be to make that less feasible. What consequences come to businesses in general by classifying certain groups of people as protected classes while others aren't? Does it discourage businesses from hiring those groups in the first place simply from a risk management perspective?

Experience will definitely show that as you approach a certain age, you'll have a harder time finding a job and a big part of that is the risk a business takes on if they have to fire you for underperforming.

Understanding that there are always consequences to legislation, no matter how noble the intentions, will lead to looking at solutions from different angles.

The legislative solution is "Make THEM do this!" while the non-legislative solution is "Campaign to help people be more understanding, tolerant and welcoming to homosexuals." The latter improves society as a whole while they former may help in the short term but create risk-management tendencies among businesses along with resentment from non-protected classes.
Einsten's Advice for Learning
As someone who was almost immediately made happy by React, ES6, Redux, and boilerplates, I'm not the target audience. But I feel like this would make me un-sad if I felt overwhelmed by all the choices.

I think the Redux guide itself (http://redux.js.org/) also does a fantastic job of a very gradual release into complexity. I recommend that anyone who feels they may want a Flux-like store read through the whole guide. It took me a day or two, but I found it to be extremely clear and enlightening.
Yes, Jinja's "safe"/"unsafe" are just "html"/"text" by another name.

Maybe you have a solidly different understanding of that fallacy, but that lines up 100% from where i'm sitting.

I'll even reword it into the right semantic order:

"The US may have some minor societal issues, but its not as bad as africa, therefore those issues can be dismissed"

What exactly is logical about claiming every problem in the US is able to be dismissed on the basis that its worse elsewhere - especially given that we are in a discussion about internal US demographics? How exactly is africa related to the growing proportion of elderly voters in the united states and the effects that has on youth populations?
I just switched from RethinkDB to Postgres as well, although my issues were more with NoSQL than RethinkDB specifically. With JSON support in PG, and the ability to let Amazon RDS handle DB admin/scalability, I don't see any reason to sacrifice ACID compliance and security on NoSQL.
You can't make a comment like this with absolutely zero explanation other than that it was 'your impression'.

I'm with tptacek here. I think the point is to try different things, especially for dif use cases. For learning, get a holistic view, for production consider X instead of Y.

I found react to be really complicated and heretical personally. I don't like mixing languages, but if I do, I would like them to be tightly coupled. I have started to mess with vue.js which is really awesome. Even in as a meta point it would be like:

> give react a try again. It has changed a lot in 2 years.

It's certainly a weird phrasing of an argument. However, it seems reasonable that some programmers will not like the specific style of structure that react espouses. Specifically the top-down push of data through parent-child component relationships. Specifically, if you are working with a lot of third party components that are not react based, it can be hard (or a lot of boilerplate) to contain them within react applications.
