While I applaud finally adding the vote up (and even vote down) features, this feature look a bit overdesigned.

I don't really get how I should "love" an issue, or "this issue makes me happy".
Or the relevance of a "thinking face".
The ui would be simpler with only 1 or 2 icons.

At least there's no "this issue makes me sad/angry" buttons.
Not entirely sure what you are asking, but A: No we have no xray view on spy satellites, and B: X-Rays can not go through water.

A: Is impossible - no satellite has enough energy to illuminate anything, they all use the sun for light and just take pictures.

B: Water blocks almost all forms of light, you need sonar to see anything under there.
The last thing I'm curious about is compilation time, especially since that's taken a hit or two recently. I know it's easily a net win with numbers like that, but one of my favorite parts of Go is the quick build times, and thus quick iteration times.

Also, since Go is self-compiled, does that mean we'll have to wait until 1.7.1 for the speed improvements to hit the compiler? :-P

Most of your comments are addressed by the fact that CSS2 was designed originally for documents, while the other widget systems never were and simply don't support that type of layout. Nowadays, with flexbox, CSS fully supports natural UI layouts too.

If we adopted your suggestion of using a legacy toolkit like Win32 as the basis of a new HTML/CSS and throwing out the old, it would be much worse than HTML and CSS as they exist today. Win32, Cocoa, Swing, Qt, wxWidgets, and GTK are much worse than CSS for rendering, as far as both performance and layout are concerned.

You didn't address the z-index issue either, as none of these toolkits have things like opacity, which is what causes stacking contexts. To the extent that they do, it's backed by Core Animation as in Cocoa, and that in fact does have the notion of stacking contexts, just as CSS does. The Web isn't significantly more complex in this area. (CSS 2.1 Appendix E is too complex, to be sure, but not in the area you describe.)
Worked at a bank. Usually stayed late/came early/irregular hours. Therefore had access code to the key safe, for confirming everyone put their keys in the key safe.

But this was for front office and back office. Access to all keys. Small team, 10 people.

That's important.

Knew how much we had in the petty cash bank account. Usually around USD 40MM. Liquidity usage, etc. Also had access to the cheque book (via key locked cabinet), where via sealed internal mail, cash payment requests (cheque) were sent to the banking department.

Speaking to a friend in the banking department, he remarked that whitelists of authorised payment receivers where being introduced. Being introduced? "Sure, if a payment request comes in, and it is authorised correctly (signature, in case of cheques), we send it ASAP." "Do you telephone the signer to verify? No." "Any transaction limits?" "No." This was 2005.

Could have walked away with USD 40MM - then fled rapidly to another country. But didn't. Well, did go to another country.

2 factor authentication is essential, and whitelists too - a central bank doesn't change their account number. The FED seems to have had neither.

> The hard part is choosing which framework to use when you have so many to choose from.

No it's not hard. Most frameworks/libraries stop being maintained after a couple of years. Only a handful are stable and being maintained seriously. It's not hard to pick and choose what to use.

> The simple answer of using the most popular one is moot since we would all be using wordpress if it was about CMSs...

Wordpress code might sucks but is actively and seriously maintained. The problem with Wordpress is that people use it for things it was never designed for. Who is to blame? The maintainers or the users?
Ask HN: Delicious is falling apart – alternatives?
I have 14.000+ links in delicious and have always liked the service but it is falling into serious disrepair (Chrome plugin has become very slow and inefficient, api is broken, tag renaming doesn't work etc.) and I feel I have to find an alternative. I am looking for a service I can migrate my existing collection to including tags and which let's me add new links/tags from Chrome in a very fast way(e.g. via shortcut, focused on tag field with autocomplete etc.). Any suggestions?
What is "the git of package managers"? One thing that a very loud group of people claim is the second coming of jesus without any knowledge of the alternatives?

I think we have that already with NPM.

Edit: to clarify, I'm not suggesting npm is the 2nd coming. I'm suggesting people act like it is, ( much as they do with git )
It might get distributed to the browser as low-level code, but it won't be for the developers - they'll just use compilers and toolkits. In fact, I'd bet an integrated tool for compiling the codebase of an Android app to WebAssembly won't take long to appear. It'll only be technically difficult in the first couple of years, if that.

A developer who doesn't understand SQL could be a little dangerous because they might not understand data structures and big-O concepts (sets, hash tables, etc..). I don't think someone needs to be a wizard with the syntax, but they need to understand what the database is doing. Otherwise they could write something that won't handle load under real world use.

"Facebook does this way, so we do it this way."
Bullllllssshhhhiiiiiiit.

I work in industrial augmented reality (Daqri). Here is an actual task I, or someone else, actually has to do someday:
I have a steel mill with 24000+ sensors distributed over ~20 machines and/or stations. I need to put the sensor readings into AR space as callouts over the relevant machine and/or station, as well as the results of any secondary processing of those sensors (aka, historical trend analysis, error predictions, etc), as well as ways to view and browse existing documentation of those machines, stations, sensors.

In order for the AR-based HMI to be effective, you're going to have to tweak and polish each machine/station's AR HMI.

Then I have to do that to the facility that uses the steel this facility produces. And then the facility that uses the steel products THAT facility produces.

As each of these facilities was independently constructed, sensorized, and upgraded over the last few decades, each one has it's own differences and quirks, and although there are some solid and reliable standards, there's more than one and many of them are deliberately hard to integrate in order to create lock-in.

The only way I can imagine possibly being successful at this is with a framework that makes it easy.

So... Either the author has never had to do same-same-but-different over and over and over again, or we have different ideas as to what a framework is.

PS - This reminds me of the defaults/no-defaults debate, which I think ends up actually just being "stop working with code that has 'defaults' that are hard to change" - which I'd say mean they're not actually defaults.

Understanding the SQL an ORM generates is definitely an underrated skill. I've probably fixed hundreds of inefficient/N+1 queries and injection vulnerabilities created by developers who either didn't know what SQL they were generating or didn't think about it.

In Rails for complex applications I always start with the SQL in my mind, and I bend the ORM to produce my SQL (if I can, otherwise I use plain SQL). For example to generate a NOT IN : ModelA.where.not(id: ModelA.joins(:model_b).where(...).select(:id))
> and don't have to deal with a bunch of the negatives such as the framework getting abandoned, obfuscation, and the framework fighting their use case

That's what you think. What actually happens in many cases is that the developers get too busy with other work that is important to the business (e.g. working on the business value directly). At that point the internally-written framework has known bugs and issues, or maybe lack of documentation, but nobody has time budget to seriously solve them and so they keep using the internally-written framework with all its quirks. Once in a while a person who worked on the framework leaves, taking knowledge with him. The remaining people sometimes think "uh... this part so strange, why was it like this again?" but the guy who wrote it already left. And then once in a while someone new joins, thinks "this framework is shit" and ends up reinventing his own internal framework, with its own quirks, while not completely understanding the problems that the original framework was meant to solve. After a while the internal framework gets abandoned in favor of a standardized framework.

I've seen this happening too many times during my days as a consultant. An internal framework is fine if your business case changes slowly, and your team changes slowly, and the framework has been very well-maintained. Miss any of those things and the framework eventually becomes a liability.

So if you're a one-man company and you intend on staying that way, and your business case doesn't evolve quickly, fine. In all other cases though...
Call up the recruiter a day after sending the CV. A lot of recruiters aren't that good at following-up, despite that being a basic part of the role.

Add their WhatsApp/Facebook, or if in APAC their WeChat. Send a polite follow-up.

If you don't know their name, like a generic group email or web application, trawl LinkedIn and click on contact details for relevant people.

When you get in contact with the recruiter, they will tell you the company name if they're decent. After they've had a follow-up call about you they should tell you the hiring person's name, so you can look them up yourself.

Try http://snapzu.com. It's more similar to Reddit though, but has most of the features Delicious has.
The author's argument stands or falls based on the meaning of the word framework and the problem you are trying to solve.

Assuming Jersey and Spring qualify as frameworks and the problem is building web services it's hard to see the argument against using them. It takes about 15 minutes from a standing start with Maven and Eclipse to build a simple web service using Spring. Frankly unless you are writing the framework itself I don't know why most people would want to deal with issues like marshaling and demarshaling HTTP requests, let alone ensuring consistent adherence to REST conventions. Life's too short to spend very much of it dealing with wire protocols or worrying about low-level libraries that handle these problems.

The argument for frameworks gets even stronger when you start to consider cross-cutting issues like security where there's a substantial penalty if you get things wrong.
I agree, selecting libraries is a much more fluid approach. Once you get comfortable with your libraries, you basically have your own framework without the commitment.

> which is not true of a framework

What framework are you talking about ? Symfony or Silex do exactly that : "respects the principles of abstraction that the programming language provides". Spring does that too. Any framework powered by dependency injection does that. Only frameworks that try to be to smart for their own good like Rails violate basic separation of concerns. Furthermore, just have a look at most Go or Node web apps out there : globals everywhere, tightly coupled code, no separation of concerns, no dependency injection,direct db calls in controllers... All because "you don't need a framework with Go" or "Dependency injection makes no sense in Javascript", good to luck to the people maintaining these messes 5 years down the road. Not using a framework doesn't make a automatically a codebase better. A framework however can mandate some discipline,especially when based on IoC : on one side : the framework's code , on the other side : the user code and the only glue is the manifest declaring dependencies between the two.

"Tip compiler (with SSA internal checks off) is about 7% slower than go1.6 to compile net/http (go test -a -c -gcflags=-d=ssa/check/off net/http)"

Not at all uncommon for upper-middle class school districts in the mid-West. Think "Chicago suburbs with $500k average houses." I went to one. Great school; fits same rough statistical profile.

Then you have e.g. Chicago Public Schools, which range from comparable at the very top end to "not particularly inspiring" to "attending this school is of comparable danger to being deployed to a war zone."

The linked post gives an estimation :

> "Tip compiler (with SSA internal checks off) is about 7% slower than go1.6 to compile net/http (go test -a -c -gcflags=-d=ssa/check/off net/http)"

... though we may wonder wether the mesured compiler itself was compiled with or without SSA (with 7% being in the ballpark of the expected SSA gains).

I think getting them into a community college is brilliant. Make sure they stick with it though.

While I didn't have to worry about gangs, or really even drugs in high school; for myself, and my little sister--we learned absolutely nothing in high school. Actually, I had a good biology teacher, but that's about it. My sister only achievement in high school was being voted best looking. She was there so little, I'm suprised the students noticed her.

That said, I made up everything I missed in high school, and a lot more, in two semesters at a community college. (Complete honesty. It was two semesters. I actually enjoyed school again.)

I think I'm older than a lot of you, but going to high school was a waste of time, and even left emotional scars on my own psyche? I hated high school. I hated the different groups. I hated the after school fights. I hated showing up to class tired, my skin inflamed, hormones seemingly off the charts; all to a teacher who obviously didn't care to be there.

I recall going to the school counselor, and asking to drop out. He looked at me for a few awkward seconds, and said, "------, I know it's a joke. Just finish. Get that diploma. College will be different. I give you my word. Just finish. Just show up."

Well I finished, and I'm glad I did. If I was able to do it over again, I would definetly have gone to a community college as as soon as possible though.

Community college has it's downfalls, but for myself I really enjoyed my two years there, actually 2.5 years. If you are young, and reading this, I think going to a community college is a great idea. While in that community college, your main goal should be trying to transfer into a four year college.

Yea, I know. College is a lot of bs, but this rediculious society still judges people on wether they went to college.

I see that changing though. If you are interested in computer programming; I honestly don't see the need for college, but I'm nobody. Actually, I take that back. You need a diverse backround. Some of you have parents that can point you to the right books, but I didn't.

Again, I loved going to a community college. I saved a fortune, and learned a lot.
requirements != expectations
I'm a big fan of Web Assembly but I've hated Flash for a long time. Flash apps tended to peg the CPU and shorten battery life on my laptop, even though most were inconsequential to the web pages that used them (ads). Constant security holes left me paranoid. Crashes left me frustrated. I can't count how many times that Flash crashed on me. The UI of most Flash apps left many things to be desired. From a technical perspective, it was also a deeply flawed design with a mediocre implementation from one vendor. Most video sites which use Flash seem to be far inferior to their HTML+JavaScript counterparts, only the biggest sites ever had decent flash players (Vimeo, YouTube), and I've noticed that some Flash video players can't really handle full screen video with the performance that they should. Ugh. I was glad so many years ago when Flash stopped being bundled with the OS, so I didn't need to take any extra steps to avoid it.

The real question: is it worth it? Up to now I could successfully avoid learning Scala.
