maybe because it's an article and they usually only have comments on Opinion pieces?
> But even still, if you were familiar with the plugin and it would take you 5 minutes to do it that way, why not?

Because I believe these kind of things must be solved with no JS at all, let alone a bloatware lib.

jQuery is THE fat.

> So many things already require jQuery

... that I try to avoid them as virus spreaders.

Wut?

> AJAX form posting with backward compatibility

XMLHttpRequest (probably with some wrapper functions).

> and can't use FormData because you have to support those older browsers

If a thing happens we must enable front-side file uploads for unterbrowsers without FormData, then we use our custom iframe-based solution and charge the customer additionally. Unterbrowser users must suffer, as well as those who want to support them.

> because I doubt rolling your own calendar picker is the goal of the project.

All the things we need were already rolled long before the project start.

> Again, why would you build your own grid and responsive layout/break points when you can just pull in Bootstrap?

Because my grid weighs 999 bytes. How many kilos does Bootstrap weigh?

> the you're wasting your client's time and your employer's money.

Nope, because the grid is already built.

> If you're picking Bootstrap or jQuery you're not trying to enhance them. Your using them to jumpstart your project to build the parts that you need to build.

Since they don't meet my needs 100% of the time, I would end up with some modules that do the same as the ones written from scratch, but slower and with buggy underlying code. Why would anyone prefer that?

> making an AJAX request required 20 lines of code and a bunch of cascading if/else blocks to make sure which request object you were going to get

How hard is it write it once, the way YOU see fit, and then use it all your projects? Or you believe only jQuery authors are allowed to do that?

> It's a bit narcissistic to think you will always be better than what a team of people has been working on for years, but it doesn't mean you're not wrong either.

I'm not trying to be better than them. But yes, I'm trying to do _things I need_ better than they can offer.

> At the end, you bring in the overhead of code maintained by somebody else because you think it will let you finish faster, higher quality, or with features you otherwise wouldn't be able to build.

In the real world though, "finish faster" and "higher quality" are almost always mutually exclusive.
I find that to be a weak argument. The "main relationship" does not "stem" simply from a shared head of state. Nor does anybody claim that Gibraltar is "part of the UK", but rather that their status as a BOT means that they are subject to UK sovereignty and jurisdiction. It's quite true that Gibraltar is mostly self-governing, except in matters of defence and foreign affairs, which are managed centrally from London. However, that doesn't mean that ultimately they are not subject to UK jurisdiction. It's quite reasonable not to care, but it's still good to know.
> Most developers haven't even heard about Mongo/Angular/Backbone yet, heck, I even have to explain tree times that JavaScript is NOT Java.

Yes, but those developers are not doing front end web development for a living.

Not a book, but a particular podcast episode: http://5by5.tv/b2w/17. Skip to 1:05:00 (an hour and 5 minutes in) and listen for 2-3 minutes.

You'll hear something many managers need to hear about the difference between a "priority" and just something you need to do and the resources you need to be putting behind something to really show that it's a priority (owner, budget, deadline).
Why are so many people assuming that the initial list represented his comprehensive judgement of all films ever?

Is it not far more likely that he added films as sufficiently important ones occurred to him, and at some point decided the list was fairly comprehensive and stopped?

Then subsequently, someone pointed out that there weren't many films by female directors, and this prompt made him think of a bunch of other films worth adding?

Sorry, I'm not sure that I comprehend your question correctly. Are you asking me how versions of a lib are managed in the package.json of a project?

All of those are valid:

{ "dependencies" :

{

"foo" : "1.0.0 - 2.9999.9999",

"bar" : ">=1.0.2 <2.1.2",

"baz" : ">1.0.2 <=2.3.4",

"boo" : "2.0.1",

"qux" : "<1.0.0 || >=2.3.1 <2.4.5 || >=2.5.2 <3.0.0",

"til" : "~1.2",

"elf" : "~1.2.3",

"two" : "2.x",

"thr" : "3.3.x",

"lat" : "latest"

}

No, but you get to know someone when you work closely with them, you pick up these kinds of things through conversation; "What did you do last night?" "Oh, I stayed up to finish this book, I've read the whole series". As opposed to "Oh, I watched the last season of breaking bad again".

Exactly.

If you read his lists, either the original or the amended versions, you'll see that they are really lists of his favorite filmmakers, grouped by the filmmakers' best or most representative works. It's obvious, by the way the list is categorized, that Lee was thinking of it that way.
People make basic mistakes routinely with types. Even with very sophisticated type systems, like the one used in Haskel. There's evidence that in rare cases where people could have been "helped" by a type system, the cost of finding and fixing such a bug is far lower than using a type system to enforce correctness in the first place. You will write automated tests whether you're using a type system or not.
I was kind of frustrated for a while with the broken type system of Javascript, as well as with the lack of easy type checking. I then wrote a simple small library to make my life a little easier. It's called types.js, in NPM as well..

Changing my entire code to TypeScript just feels a bit over the top to achieve only static type checking. I now only dynamically check if needed. I believe there are so much worse and important problems we are dealing with as Javascript developers today that need attention.

I really believe WASM will become the base for a great new language that eventually will make Javascript, TypeScript and so many others deprecated, solving a zillion problems at once.

> It's important to have role models you can identify with.

Anyone that cannot identify with someone as a role model just because s/he has a different sex, is incredibly sexist and doesn't deserve to be accomodated in any way.

> when female directors don't win awards, it reinforces the idea that women are allowed to enter the industry, but they can never really thrive and succeed in the same way a man can

IMO, it just reinforces the idea that women need to try harder to become better.
WOW... What a false dilemma fallacy..

I completely agree with the sentiment that typed libraries are more stable and self-documenting. You can autogenerate documentation from typescript and it's guaranteed to be up to date, unlike JSDoc comments.

I personally have converted a few of my libraries [1] [2] over to Flow. It helps me personally, catches a lot of bugs, and does a great job of self-documenting while not getting in the way.

Flow has a lot of bugs and a lot of growth ahead of it, but it is far easier to get started with than TS. I highly recommend it.

The childrens book "Maisy makes gingerbread", it might help the aspiring manager understand that often there is a simple, well understood series of steps to follow, and if we do follow them, we deliver something of value.

If we choose to bog down the process, add unnecessary steps, or shortcut some steps, the end result is perhaps less rewarding.
The US has secret laws, secret trials, secret institutions, ... Basically, your country has long been run by secret powers, and you keep believing the show. The "FBI is trying to set legal precedent" is part of the show: if they get it, they'll use it; if not, they'll access any information they want by other means.

LCS EU BUG
Yeah. Though, I would suggest that governments (in conjunction with or as tools of unelected aristocrats, feudal overlords, warlords, strongmen, etc.) have always ruled, and it's only in the past 200-300 years that the people have started to take the power unto themselves.

Democracy's a very new and quite brilliant invention, really, when you look at it in the perspective of tens of thousands of years of human social and political development.
I was in a similar situation years back and made a huge mistake: giving up and switching majors due to the amount of math in CS (and the very poor instruction I was receiving was part of it too, so YMMV).

Now, 8+ years later, I wish I had stuck with it or found better instructors or a better school or something.

To throw that opportunity away in exchange for a much less interesting or useful degree is something I still regret but am trying to move on from... can't change the past.

The times I was successful in tough math classes was when I asked for help, so my experience mirrors what others are saying here. The problem was having instructors that sometimes couldn't help much when asked.
> Are you sure about that?

No. I was just going off what parent said. I've seen way too little UK (mainly only London) and US (mainly only NYC) to judge myself.
There is an extremely significant fact that this line of argument ignores: the FBI only seeks the ability to unlock a phone if it either has a warrant or (in this case) has the consent of the phone's owner. This is a capability that it already has for virtually every other type of phone--the only difference here is the amount of technical effort required to make it happen. I have a very hard time seeing how the FBI's ability to unlock a phone under these limited circumstances means they are an "Authoritarian Surveillance Regime."

They are not asking for the ability to unlock any phone at any time for any reason.
Try Flow, if you haven't yet. It's not as complete as TS, but it gets out of your way and requires minimal investment. I find that the `(foo: string, bar: number)` annotation style is just far more readable than e.g. JSDoc. You don't even really need to be running Flow (babel will strip them), but it's practically free - why not.

I think you've nailed it. Web programming in javaland was verbose but relatively straightforward until about 2004, maybe a little earlier, when frameworks exploded. I'm not sure the frameworks themselves were worse than what preceded then - Struts2 was, in my opinion, an improvement over the original Struts. But I do recall hating web programming for a few years, wanting to leave and do something else (in a way, I did, I got a job writing java code to interact with CPLEX, and other developers handled the webapp stuff, so I was able to just mainly write straightforward Java, which I still don't think is such a bad language, it was the framework bloat that I disliked). The reason was doing very simple things had become mind numbingly difficult, and you had to wade through massive amounts of configuration and framework documentation (or code, since documentation often didn't exist for your specific issue) to do relatively simple things. The Java web programming cookbook became relatively obsolete, because everything was now handle by a framework that promised to make things simpler, but (often due to churn) massively increased the overhead.

Interestingly, it was, as you've pointed out, never resolved. Instead, it all became obsolete. I personally left javaland and started writing with Rails (even the non-web stuff I generally started using Python rather than java).

I suspect that we're heading down that road again. I think the modern javascript frameworks are the product of very intelligent and talented people, but my gues is that something interesting and "unanticipated" will sweep this all aside.

To risk a prediction, I think that other languages transpiled to isomorphic javascript will provide a new approach that will allow excellent languages like ruby and python to be used to write an entire web app again.

Until then? I wish I'd had the conviction to avoid MVC frameworks in the early 2000s. It's easy to feel like you're doing things the "old way", but I wasted a lot of time chasing java frameworks only to abandon the entire enterprise a year or two later… of course, it wasn't entirely my decision, it's hard to go against the grain, since you're rarely the only developer on a team.

But nothing you list there is a reason for parental leave. The concept of parental leave is to spend time taking care of a new child while adjusting to the changes of parenthood.

Companies could choose to have "puppy leave" for when employees choose to adopt newborn puppies. Choosing to have a dog (or not) and choosing to have a child (or not) are life choices about time and money investments in taking care of another being, and in the right circumstances they are choices! I imagine a company with a puppy leave policy (however absurd on the surface) would cause jealousy in coworkers who choose to have children, instead. And, rightfully so!

One can not "pause" parentship, it is true. But one can and should choose parentship in most circumstances, and one should not expect an employer to provide special relief from all its obligations, financial/time/otherwise. Employers should instead provide adequate comp and leave to all its employees, regardless of their life choices.

It is ultimately about fairness and a rule that says employees deserve what they earn and don't get unreasonably special treatment for choices that are, frankly, none of the company's business.

"...but let's have a productive conversation."

Okay, I'll bite.

With a web browser, a DOM, and Javascript, where do you see this all heading that's full of truth and beauty?

Where does the churn end if it's not pointless?

Cause you've got a web browser that was designed to view pages of linked information that has now been pressed into service as a ad-hoc run-time for building applications, a DOM that is so poorly implemented that most everyone tries to abstract it away at some point, and a language that is universally regarded as one of the worst ever.

Is that what you build on for the future? Cause then I do see it being pointless tech churn because your fundamental building blocks are too seriously flawed.

If the future is programs that people can download and run on their computer on demand you'll need a good run-time, language agnostic, compiles to binary, sandboxed, with a well defined UI system not based on document display. There's no web-browser, DOM, or Javascript in sight.

If you had such a thing this thread of conversations wouldn't even be happening. I sincerely hope that someone smarter than me comes up with that (yes, Java was a close but no cigar) and we gravitate away from the morass we have now.

> Tl;dr the likelihood of media influence controlling this election to such huge, huge landslide outcomes is overwhelmingly improbable compared to the high likelihood that favorability metrics are junk-science.

Political polling and surveys have a margin of error, and its generally pretty close to the mark.

Trump and Hillary have had by far and away the most advertising for their campaigns, and generally the ones with the biggest ad spends (which has in the past converted into the most advertising, but Trump has gotten enormous free advertising) win elections.

My conclusion is that there is no media conspiracy, they just like getting paid and both Trump and Hillary make that happen.

I think they're asking if not using npm or similar, what is the process for updating your local copy of a file/package.

Which would be, go to where project is hosted, find out what version you're looking for, click until you find actual source, copy text or download file, move file from downloads to your repo, or paste in to a new file in your repo.

It wasn't a single developer, it was a subset culture in the team of frontend developers. Those 2 examples were 2 different devs.

I don't really get your point though. Are suggesting that JS fragments and reinvents itself outside of the will of the general populace of frontend developers? How else could the problems in frontend dev arise if not from the culture created by the people?

I'm very surprised there is no mention at all about the safety of the VPN clients. Your biggest problem concerning privacy could be IPv6 leaking and DNS hi-jacking and leaking. You can have a trillion-bits VPN connection for IPv4 traffic, no logging, warrant canaries etc., but if your IPv6 traffic, which most browsers prefer, is not going through this tunnel you can say goodbye to your privacy. The same for DNS leaking, if you are still using your default DNS servers after setting up a VPN connection everybody can see what websites your are visiting or redirect your requests. And to prevent DNS hi-jacking your VPN client should at least use your VPN gateway as a DNS server. I built an OSX app for WifiMask (https://www.wifimask.com), which is not in the list, and is not vulnerable to any of these.
