>We've come a lot farther than you may realize. We've come far enough that, having removed a lot of the accidental complexities of importing external modules, we've discovered collectively than the essential complexity is non-zero. Bringing a module into your project is non-trivially expensive. Bringing multiple modules into your project grows in expense super-linearly. (Not "exponentially", but definitely something greater than linearly.)

That's because those modules also have multiple (and competing) dependencies though.

If most modules in all languages depended on the same, lower level modules (with rigidly fixed APIs) that wouldn't the case.

> Is that weekends are for? I do that too but do wonder at times...

They are for doing what you want to do. Sometimes I code all weekend for fun, or go in the boat or sleep or play Diablo all day. But the reason why many people on this site are good at what they do is because they love doing it. Even if I was not paid to code, I would still immerse myself in coding (and IT in general). I am fortunate enough to love doing something that also can pay well.
I totally agree with this. When I was young I lived in a very rural area and went to a school with only 20 children. It went from ages 5 to around 10. There was only one teacher and one classroom.

I think a huge part of the advantage of a school like that is that the teacher from the very beginning is in the mindset that every child is going to be at a different stage and needs to be catered to individually. All the children were taught at their own pace and at their own level of ability.

By the time I left that school I was happily doing work that was designed for children 2-3 years older at a regular school. I also had not had the drive to self-learn knocked out of me as seems to be common with kids from regular schools.
I do agree.

But I'd like to point out that there are very few animals with bigger eye/head ratio than spiders.

re: "The thing I don't agree with is that we should be expected to keep learning." I believe that in many fields it is important to keep learning, not just in software development. 20 years ago one of the brightest developers I knew made the case that object oriented programming was the 'final paradigm' and that we didn't need any other model for organizing code and data. Now, I would be tempted to say that functional programming is the final paradigm, except I know better than to make predictions.

I absolutely agree with you that learning many frameworks is probably not a good use of our time. "Just in time learning" of frameworks is usually good enough but knowing a few programming languages, and occasionally learning a new one makes sense.

As someone who works at OSU I can confirm that this place is exceptionally backwards, and change can bring people to tears. Due to the severely broken HR system here young people generally leave within 2-5 years, and the older folks are almost always just waiting out the clock on their retirement.

Age discrimination might be a serious problem elsewhere, but with OSU's chronic issues I'd be hard pressed to believe these people were discriminated against.

I disagree, honestly. I don't think creativity is an important part of doctoral work. The 'new' requirement is certainly true, but that can simply be an extension in relatively predictable territory.

A PhD demonstrates that you can successfully conduct original research. Period.

The time for creativity and really making a name for yourself is in a post-doc. That's when you differentiate yourself. You can do this during doctoral work, but it is far from required. As long as you're doing something significant (which any lab you join should be doing), you'll likely encounter plenty of new insights that really do contribute in a novel way.

This can let you focus on process and methods that lead to good results. You learn to troubleshoot, to adequately record observations, and to be able to write all that up in a coherent and thorough way. These are the key lessons, and those most valuable and translatable outside academia should you take that route.

In the end, I think that creativity comes easily and naturally if you're on top of the literature and actually performing experiments. If you trust your observations (which takes a lot of effort to get there) and are looking at interesting things, you will set down interesting paths of inquiry.

>It just seems weird to me that twitter basically owns the fanclub for every celebrity in the world and can't monetize access.

I think the problem is they don't own the fanclub. Only part of it.

Fans also go to: the artist's webpage, the artists YouTube channel (or YT in general), the artist's Facebook, and places like Spotify, Apple Music etc, even places like Reddit for AMA, news sites for interviews, etc.

If Twitter had managed to create and provide a full blown artist/entity "fanclub" experience they would probably fare much better. Just seeing artists "tweets" wont cut it.

Generally, people (authorities, policemen, etc) don't get fired if they failed to prevent a disaster.

They get fired if they break rules, fail to obey standard operating procedure, do not fill tick marks correctly on a paper.

They work in a system, and the system has responsibility, not individual people who work for it -- unless they neglect or break rules and procedures.
I wish this were a silver bullet, and of course, nothing would completely be a silver bullet, but even in forums/comments that require the use of a "Real Name" (to the extent it can truly be enforced), it's clear that people are OK with trolling under their actual name. The perception of anonymity is important, yes, but the illusion that they're not attacking a "real person" seems to be enough to let people become detached enough to be examples of terrible human beings.

And losing anonymity also reduces someone's willingness to talk openly (and civilly) about a topic that they may otherwise be unwilling to discuss (sexuality, medical issues, etc). Heck, I won't even talk directly about my political opinion after reading articles about how people with strong political views are willing to reject a candidate for hiring entirely because of them not aligning politically (not really a problem for me since I generally hate politics).

This also lowers the number of available voices and it might reduce the ratio as it relates to trolls. In a sensitive topic do we lose more trolls this way or do we lose more civil conversation? I'm not sure.

Elimination of anonymity helps, yes, but isn't appropriate for every kind of discussion and must be combined with other methods.
Except that there's some analogue of 'outrage fatigue' ('security fatigue'?). If the publicity is too successful in averting the problem, then there's a danger that, rather than correctly deducing "the loud publicity worked", some will deduce "the loud publicity is unnecessary"—and so future warnings will be ignored under the impression that they are 'crying wolf'.

I'm just now getting into neural networks and machine learning. I notice that there's a lot of research going into RNNs, CNNs, and deep learning.

So far, I've only really delved into NNs with one hidden layer, and I read that problems really only require one hidden layer. For what kinds of problems are multiple layers required, or CNNs, or RNNs? It seems that there's a lot of "cool factor" there, but I don't know what they bring to the table that's new.

Where I read about one-layer being "good enough" for most problems: http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/181/how-to-choose-t...
At 37 I'm somewhere in the middle and I think there are two major factors at play in terms of SV age bias.

The first is a proliferation of young founders who have no experience and thus no frame of reference to evaluate older developers, so they just pattern match on the new tech they are familiar with. Nothing really to be done about that since convincing twentysomethings (particularly SV funded ones) of their hubris is a sisyphean task, and in any case it leaves talent on the table for those of us who actually know the value of a dollar.

The second, more troubling factor is founders who actually understand the value of experience, but prefer to take advantage of ambitious kids who are willing to work extreme hours for little equity and less salary. All else being equal, it's easier to find strong talent that isn't aware of (or bad at negotiating) their own value at a young age compared to when they get old and jaded.

As slimy as that is, I think it's a somewhat self-correcting problem in that good programmers are still too thin on the ground and startups who pass over old or minority candidates that are actually good will be at a competitive disadvantage. There is certainly a flood of young people going into technology via bootcamps or other means, but my experience so far is that there is a natural and unquantifiable talent component to being a good programmer which can not be solved by education. I firmly believe anyone can learn to program, but only a minority can ever learn to program well. At the moment, I interpret having learned to program before "startups" became a career move as a strong positive signal; chalk one up for the olds!

If you don't want to hear direct language and more than a few
curses, then you may want to skip this video.

This is a shorter speech by Jacob Appelbaum about the political
realities of journalism. His describes his experiences with The
Guardian, which some may consider a crude attack. I see it as
important information about the actual priorities of the
institutions we used to see as "journalists".

The audience laughter is telling as it becomes more and more
uncomfortable. That uncomfortable laughter becomes stunned silence
when he mentions, "The Guardian, in all seriousness, sent
[Julian Assange] a basket with soap and socks."

Framing matters, avoiding politics is just a way of agreeing with
the status quo, and collaborators need to be called
out for aiding and abetting the criminals in positions of power.

>I can see how none of these would be the silver bullet, but I can't see how scale is the problem.

In two senses:

1) Regardless of scale, those solutions don't bring much money in. Twitter's bigger scale means they can bring more money than for a smaller company, but Twitter's scale also means it's operating expenses and churn are much higher for them to make a difference.

2) Twitter's value is in its user base, which is staying given that Twitter doesn't alienate them, which some of those solutions do. In this case it's not really the number of users that's the issue, but the kind of users that you attrack.

I don't know what the author intended, because "average" doesn't necessarily mean "mean", despite what some here seem to think.
This is what caused me to wonder if allowing trolls, but eliminating their conversation from everyone but other trolling users might be an option. Let them revel in the attention of their friends, but have that attention only serve to give them the illusion that they're affecting others while directly causing others to ignore them (and thus, prevent unintentional feeding). It'd be tricky to get right and probably not worth the energy in most places, but would be interesting to see and study the results.
> Older IEs don't have Array.indexOf()

IE8 and older to be specific[0]. But, if you're supporting IE8 still you have bigger problems at hand.

Microsoft stopped supporting any version lower than IE11 as of January 12th of this year[1]. So unless all of those older IE machines are accessing an intranet (and only an intranet) their risk of being hit with malware is way higher than average.

For my clients I do a cursory IE9+ review, but if anything lower is a requirement then it's an additional fee to make a site work with it.

In a few months it'll be IE11+ and the same fee structure will apply to anything lower (I'm just waiting for IE10 to wind down a bit).

>If the US and EU stayed out of the Middle East (Iraq, Libya, Syria), the EU+ME part of the world would be a much more peaceful place.

I very much doubt that. Of course, there is no alternative reality where you could observe how things went when things were done differently, but there's no lack of violence in parts of the world where US and EU have not been doing things.

And of course you are neglecting that especially after WWII, Soviet Union did not exactly stay out of places, either. For instance, Afghanistan and Somalia, the two most notorious failed states in the world, were actually run under Soviet influence for a considerable time. Syria is still very much in the Russian sphere of influence. Etc.
> At the time, a lot of systems were written in pure assembler, and it took a long time to convince those guys that C was ready as a replacement for most tasks (and C changed dramatically in that time period).

Operating systems written in higher level languages go back all the way to the 60's, like Burroughs written in Extended Algol in 1961.

There were multiple other OSes written in variants of Algol and PL/I, before C was even an idea on its designers.

Only home micros were fully written in Assembly by the time C was getting used outside AT&T.

It is an urban myth spread by AT&T fanboys that C is the first system programming language.

Anyone that bothers to research the history of mainframes and operating systems will easily find documents of those systems, most of them written in higher level languages with more memory safe features than C has ever had.
