Something is "bad" as you've decided, and you're going to actively take it upon yourself to enforce consequences for those who believe in the "bad" thing.

Think about that for a minute - then remember that interracial marriages used to be banned, and a person with your operating principles would have actively made it worse for those people to enforce the norm.

But this is different! You say - missing entirely the point.
The difference with C is that with a good linker, functions you don't call are removed from the resulting binary (or are maybe not even in the binary if you are dynamically linking to the c runtime).

With javascript however, if you import a hypothetical "math.js" instead of just "sin.js", "cos.js" or "tan.js", then you'll need to download and evaluate a whole bunch of javascript that you might not need.

I'm not defending javascript, because I dislike it and avoid it where possible, but I can understand some of the reasons why short, specific modules came about.
I don't believe these numbers. I highly suspect that Canadian permanent residents or Chinese origin are included in these numbers. Ethnically Chinese people make up a large portion of the Vancouver area, and they get help with their down payments from their parents like most Canadians in urban areas.
Couple of things:

* If you're in favor of the micro-module approach, you shouldn't be relying directly on NPM, and should have something like Sinopia in place. After all, external code isn't the only thing you're vendoring, right?

* Micro modules are fine - but your application code should depend on a privately published utils module whose entry point is a prebuilt distribution of all your external micro-modules exposed through a facade. Your utils module deps are all installed as dev dependencies to avoid the Fractal Nightmare.

* Yay, now you have your own 'standard library' which still manages to leverage the NPM philosophy of distributed code. And if some twit decides to throw a tantrum, it will only impact future builds of your custom std lib - and you'll know about it at build time.

Yes, they will sell. These people don't care about the price when they buy. They won't care about the price when they sell either.

The last time a property bubble in a developed economy fueled by Chinese speculators crashed, it crashed by 70%. [1]

People never see a property price crash coming.

Credit Suisse First Boston – 15 July 1997: [2]

We believe the supply demand imbalance will continue to drive residential prices during 4Q 1997 and into 1Q 1998. The two extremes will perform best; luxury residential prices should fare particularly well as we see flows of capital into the top end of this sector. Luxury property is also much less sensitive to affordability levels and much more geared to supply and price expectations. The smallest units (below 40 square metres) will also fare well as there is very limited supply at this level, yet they are the most affordable private sector flats.

The overheated property markets Vancouver & Sydney are fuelled by Chinese speculators. Why are they buying overseas when there's a perfectly sound economy right on their border, Hong Kong?

There's a property bubble in Hong Kong too, and it was getting expensive there, the Chinese went overseas to other well-off cities that are full of Chinese, Vancouver and Sydney. If Hong Kong was leading the price rise amongst the three cities, it might lead the price fall too.

At this very moment, Hong Kong's property prices are slumping:

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-01/hong-kong-...

One could argue, for all the many rich people buying in Vancouver who could shrug off market fluctuation, there are even more millionaires and billionaires in Hong Kong, which has the 4th highest billionaires per capita, who could shrug off even bigger market fluctuations. Yet it's property price is falling anyway.

One third of property buyers in Vancouver are Chinese. How many percent Chinese do you think are buying the property in Hong Kong?
I would be hesitant to build an entire application that relied on this API only to have it removed in a few months or years when Google realizes it sucks up time and resources and makes them no money.
Except the problem isn't editing, but deletions.

Twitter allows deletions and explicitly requires you to process and honor deletion events in their TOS. They have even blocked API access to programs that don't honor deletions.

So, just as bad (or, maybe worse, in that you can't even keep around committed code that comes through this process, if the originating tweet was deleted) as npm.
It's not trivial when they are as massively cash-flow negative as they are today.

What I heard is that they are having a harder time raising money, they can't issue more convertible bonds, and they can't go to the markets again for another secondary. They need to start collateralizing their factories and other assets to get more money to pay for their gigafactory, etc.

If they hit on all cylinders they might survive, but if anything goes wrong in the next few years, they could very well topple under their debt. I heard that they have only sold about 1000 Model X's and are still working out the kinks. They needed 3 years for the Model S to be free from problems, so expect at least that much, not including the huge piece of glass used in the Model X.
They definitely should. I have a dedicated button for it, so will continue to use that, but many of my colleagues (at a S-ME IT service provider) didn't know this menu existed. Trust the Indian guy to know, though

Sweeping Mines with Clojure – Part I
Sometimes people just get a great idea for a cool keyboard shortcut and simply don't know that it already has a standard meaning.

This may be such a case, and Parallels is definitely one. Parallels 11 takes over the spacebar (just plain spacebar) in Windows Explorer, using it to pop up an OSX Quick Look panel like it does in Finder.

They apparently didn't think to check whether spacebar already does something in Explorer. (It does, and keyboard users like me use it all the time - it's an essential shortcut for keyboard navigation.)

And from what I've seen in forums and other interactions, they can't seem to imagine that it was a bad idea to take over this key with no option to turn off the behavior.

I love Parallels, but this is so clueless!

It hugely depends on how it's asked. If you ask it in a really awkward dead pan kind of way it's going to fall flat. If you do it in an almost "indulge me" kind of banterish irony, most people get that and will string along for a bit. The funny ones will go along and end it with something like "wow, really took me for a ride there" and switch it back on you.

> This GitHub comment by Sindre Sorhus (author of over 600 modules on npm) is my favorite writeup on the topic:

If anything looking at sindresorhus's activity feed: (https://github.com/sindresorhus) perfectly supports the author's point. Maybe some people have so little to do that they can author or find a relevant package for every single ~10 line function they need to use in their code and then spend countless commits bumping project-versions and updating package.json files. I have no idea how they get work done though..

I am curious about the downstream effects of house prices becoming increasing multiples of income in so many western countries. E.g. I suspect it will hit entrepreneurship. Younger generations are buying houses later and taking out massive loans when they do. For the boomers you'd often hear how they bought a house soon after college and paid it off by their early thirties. This would put people in a good place to leave their work for a couple of years to start a business. Now people have these huge mortgages where your ability to start a business is hampered by your ability to get a financial buffer to take a year or 2 off. And lets not forget most businesses are created form people mid-career, not the TV typical university dropout.

And small community business, how will they exist in the future. If someone wants to set up a local 'physical presence' vet/daycare type business that are typically mixed into residential areas the threshold is now so high ot exist and especially set up a new business. How can a daycare buy a million+ dollar house and expect to make money paying that back on having 30 local kids being looked after.

Also what is going to happen with retirement and periods of unemployment. I suspect society will be less stable as either the government has to foot high rent costs (unlikely) or we will see increased population movements during retirement, and now the government has to look after older people that before a family who lived nearby could help out with. And during low employment cycles society can absorb this downturn if people dont have large loans. Historically people cant 'tighten belts' for a year while things improve, harder when your neck deep in debt. So we will again see more movement of people, debt default etc. It will serve to exacerbate recessions etc.

Also these higher prices skew the economy. When people are tied up in these ever increasing loan/income ratios there will be less spending on dining, holidays, hobbies etc. It will weaken the economy by concentrating the spend in limited areas.

I believe we should look to ensure affordable housing for owner occupiers. Residential investment need to be discouraged (note I'm not saying stopped) as a speculative asset class. I've seen a few suggested methods to achieve this but I feel the simplest is to place a yearly 'asset tax' on non-owner occupied residential property (I would also include farms). Having a % tax would make it easy to adjust to find the right balance given economic cycles change. Also this would encourage property hoarders not in heavy debt to sell for lower taxed asset classes. This I feel is important as most solutions focus on controlling the investment lending side which is limiting in reach.

> I don't use NPM so maybe it doesn't really matter aside from the level of abstraction being implemented being relatively ridiculous.

Except, again, it's no more ridiculous than pick a random bit of code from anywhere and isn't any more emblematic than that random bit because, again, it's not used anywhere.

It depends. Imagine a hardware device that uses the speech API, and you're looking at the 3 year cost of an average of 5 speech interactions per day (something like the Amazon Echo). Using Nuance pricing of $0.008/request, you're adding 365 * 3 * 5 * $.008 = $43.80 in cost above the BOM cost; It's entirely possible that adding $20 to the BOM is viable, but adding $40 is not.
Having worked for a company that followed his model (Sendmail) I still say it doesn't work. I think Cygnus was a fluke. Also, assuming it was sold for 10x revenue, which is pretty standard, that means the revenue was only $60M a year. That's tiny for an enterprise software company.

Kik (the company) wanted to publish an npm module using their trademarked company name[1]. As has long been npm's policy, they asked the trademark holder and the author to work it out amicably. Azer handled the situation about as gracefully as you'd expect from someone who published a module without checking if the name was clear and rage-quit when that decision bit him, bitching about "corporations" and stranding the countless developers who (eventually) depended on one of his modules.

npm and Kik did most-everything right. The problem was in unpublishing already published tags. Once a tag is published, it shouldn't be able to be unpublished except in the most extenuating circumstances (perhaps a brand-new tag that inadvertently included PII). After a name changes hands, the new owner shouldn't be able to publish a new build in any of the major versions the previous owner tagged. Moreover, wholesale unpublishing modules shouldn't be allowed for the exact reasons this incident demonstrated. Based on npm's response, it sounds like they've learned that.

Not defending javascript because I dislike it immensely, but with javascript being a dynamically typed language, and with the way it handles implicit conversions between types, and with trickiness around NaN, Infinity and null objects, there are sufficient edge cases that writing a correct function to test if some variable contains a positive integer is not as trivial as it is with more sane languages, and is likely to trip up even experienced developers if they miss one or more of those edge cases.

Having pre-written modules that account for all edge cases that have been battle-tested by hundreds, thousands, or even millions of users does have merit.

The main problem here is with the Javascript language, which makes code evolve to things like 'is-positive-integer'.

> OOP - in practice - does tend to encourage far too many types.

Keep in mind that the concept of a class unifies the concepts of modules and types. A class can be seen both as a module (with late binding, and of which there can be several instances) and as a record (with methods to abstract over the representation and allow polymorphism). The advantage is that you don't need a second module language on top of the type system.

Consider, for example, that as of OCaml 4 - with first-class modules and generative functors –, OCaml's module language is essentially a second fully-featured OO system. Using it as such would be awkward because of all the boilerplate involved (it isn't meant to be used that way), but all the functionality is there. This is basically because first-class modules provide late binding and generative functors allow for multiple instances of the same module.

But this means that, yes, you get more types because some of these types are actually modules in disguise.

> The solution I always try to keep in mind is that OOP can be useful if-and-only-if the data actually has a hierarchy. A single standalone class is equivalent to a basic struct passed to functions.

Not really. A basic struct does not have methods that abstract over the representation and does not support polymorphism. Also, it avoids duplicating language functionality for concepts with overlapping, but not identical functionality. Note also that structural subtyping does not require a hierarchy.
I think about this every time I write a UTF-8 decoder. It's a task which is simple enough that I can bang it out from scratch about as fast as I can find a library that does it, so I can't really stomach adding a full-blown dependency to deal with it - but it's also just complex enough that I have to think about it, write some tests to make sure I didn't forget something, and wonder whether this implementation is any different from the last one I wrote.

Like they've been holding back the development of games for years? I have a Mac for work, and it's good at what it does. But I wouldn't choose one for a home/personal PC. The lockin and limitations aren't worth it (not just for games, generally). It would be like using IE6 for web browsing.

If they choose to not keep up with web development, that's not going to hold web development back, it's going to hold Apple back, and make them obsolete. Currently, they have a good share of the 'devices used for web-browsing' market, but if they don't keep up, it'll dwindle to match their share of the gaming PC market.
