when you think about medical advances in the next 20-40 years, especially the custom ones which would require money, one would be wondering how much a today's healthy person with a lot of money, like Zuck, would live... Probably as long as they want :)

Exactly! I looked for a way/API to integrate with carriers but couldn't find one.
I was convinced of the header-only approach when I replaced DevIL, libpng and libjpeg (all of them made of a myriad of source files and build options, not to mention using non-portable build systems that don't really work out of the box on Windows) with 3 stb headers: stb_image.h, stb_image_resize.h and stb_image_write.h

Even if the compile time is affected (which I never noticed) this is only a minor inconvenience compared to the wins those 3 header files provide.
Javascript is a great language. Transpiling another language to run on the browser (looking at you, zombie GWT!) will NOT make CSS and event handling any less complex.
Your comment on Viagra is entirely wrong. It was first tested in pulmonary hypertension and they noticed the ED effect. It was approved for both conditions.

Second, the only reason why a pharma company spends on advertising is because they get a return on it. That is, they spend $10M and get $10M + X in sales from it. Why else would you spend money?

And finally, most drugs are discovered by private companies, not by the gov't. It's about a 2/3rd private company and 1/3rd gov't split.
One advantage of solar is the requirement for an electrical grid is lessened, when photovoltaics get cheap enough the requirement for a grid is eliminated.

Being a junior corporate lawyer is a miserable job. You need to study for 4 years of undergrad, pony up $150-200K for grad school, and then there's a >50% chance you wind up in a low paid job. Then if you do get one of the plum jobs, you are doing 60+ hours a week of grunt work buried under mounds of paperwork.

Why isn't there a shortage of corporate lawyers? Because they pay them very well.

The industry can figure out a way to get people through the system if they really want to. They can find a way to hire military pilots if they really want to.
I would consider Tabulate much superior to PrettyTable.
For the change to reorder the additions to add int-to-int and float-to-float to remove one conversion, I wonder if the compiler would do that itself if allowed to by -ffast-math (included in -Ofast)? Normally, the compiler cannot (even with -O3) perform changes that might change exact floating-point results.

EDIT: No, looks like gcc can't do this even with -ffast-math or -Ofast. Given the following C code:

double test1(int lbits, double lsym, int dbits, double dsym)
{
return lsym + lbits + dsym + dbits;
}

double test2(int lbits, double lsym, int dbits, double dsym)
{
return lbits + dbits + lsym + dsym;
}

GCC, with either -O3 or -Ofast, with or without -ffast-math, always produces two cvtsi2sd instructions for test1 and one cvtsi2sd instruction for test2.

> with all that iconic imagery and hubris typical of totalitarian regimes.

I think all that iconic imagery is probably biasing you.

I'm not saying that DPRK is a wonderland, but I'd wager that if you took photos of the Pyongang, Moscow Metro, London, Tokyo and New York subways and randomly swapped the various backgrounds, a casual viewer would view the Soviet-influenced Moscow- and Pyongyang-background passengers as gloomy, and the New York- and London-background ones as having "practiced indifference".

(You'd probably have to be clever with the composition, though - seeing obviously-British people or people of African descent with Mao or Lenin behind them would be a little jarring, and a bit out of place.)

I kind of want to do this now, but don't think I have the time today.
Solar can do all of those things. The most useful thing to do with ort cloud objects is to get them closer to a star for cheap energy. Once you get the ball rolling it's easy to beam power out to the ort cloud.

PS: Remember there is no night in space. So that's 4 * (149,597,870,700) ^2 * 1.3kw for billions of years. After the stars die, then we can start using all that saved up hydrogen.
It's pointless to be a contrarian on JavaScript. It's here to stay, but it does appear there's a big push to be able to write something other than plain JavaScript (that produces JavaScript) to bring more sanity to the development process.

That Microsoft is pushing a superset that produces JavaScript (https://www.typescriptlang.org/) and Google is also behind Dart (https://www.dartlang.org/) that produces JavaScript, should say a lot about JavaScript's stickiness.

I actually find it amazing all the effort that has gone into TypeScript and Dart, which just produces more JavaScript, instead of creating a new language from scratch. It really looks like even Microsoft and Google prefer to deal with JavaScript 'as is' going with language supersets and languages that output more JavaScript than launching a new language.

In a few years JavaScript will most likely be the 'bytecode' of the web, you won't have to use directly, but it will just be there, produced by higher level stuff like TypeScript or Dart that produces JavaScript.
"Don't use JavaScript if you don't have to." Sound advice

But the article subject seems quite proudly dogmatic about avoiding it altogether but then goes ahead and scores this major own goal:

> Regarding worst hack. That’s a hard one. In one of my javascript-free projects, I couldn’t figure out how to embed a realtime graph. In the end, I went with a 3rd party API solution, who probably do use javascript on their end...

This realtime graph is the only clue that this interview wasn't conducted in the mid-2000s.

Not using javascript is not a terrible move by default. In fact, I can think of many cases where it would drastically simplify things.

A stateless resource model with a distinct separation of concerns and components, that operates in a non-CPU-intensive fashion, can make life much easier on your designers and testers.

When serving things like content and straightforward CRUD, your architecture can be made much simpler.
They don't learn anymore, do they?

The single port was a horrible failure. I'm sure their shareholders enjoyed the thought of every single MacBook owner buying one of those multi-adapter cables, but that was a mistake my family only needs to make once.

This makes me sad. I love Apple. I love their products. I loved working there, a lot. But stories like these make me think they are calcifying into what Microsoft was in the 00s.

Once things like Magic Leap are mainstream, there is zero guarantee Apple will remain relevant at all.

EDIT: Since everyone is ripping on me for not considering every single possible use case, here's my response:

The problem is not that Apple made a lighter laptop with limited uses, it is that this laptop is crowding out better options for people - particularly employees who are assigned computers - who clearly need more. I see people all the time being assigned new MacBooks and who need the extra adapters, and those same people come back and complain that the adapters break! I don't get why companies buy them buy the bulk, unless apple is pushing some amazing deals.
You can have mandatory registration. That seems to work pretty well for guns in the UK.
more people complaining about a language they don't understand, js should be more like y language is something I've been hearing for years. it's inane and shows a deep lack of understanding of programming languages specifically, and how computers work in general.

I have been writing apps in all js for years now, there are issues with the language as there are with all languages. over all if you spend the time to learn it, don't use pre processors, and stick to the known patterns for js development you will have zero issues with the language.

the bugs I run into nowadays are usually related to parsing incoming data that is not formatted logically for best use in js.
it is best to get your js objects as flat as you can on the server side before sending them up to be iterated over in your frontend app.

most of the applications I build are data heavy with charts and such. I routinely get 100ms or better load times on huge amounts of data because if you do it right, JS is really fast and flexible.

my wife is a designer and I've learned that CSS used correctly with js is all you need. if you can't do the graphics with CSS then js is fine, but do all the work on your Dom object before injecting it into the Dom.

Oracle being a lock-in and lawsuit heavy company make it any solution depending on them a high-risk one. That they tried to make illegal to do a clean-slate implementation of an API means they want to lock you in even more. It's best to just avoid using any I.P. from a company like that unless the licensing terms protect you in present and future.

Feel free to get your hands tied to a company like that. Whereas, there's alternatives for rest of us that are both capable and extortion-free.

I'll invoke Betteridge's law on this one (the answer is no).

There are too many niche social networks these days. Aside from those you mentioned, you have Subreddits and Stack Exchanges for pretty much everything you could form a community around.

My impression is that for Google, it is easier [and perhaps cheaper] to build something in house than to use an outside project. I think issues of scale, code base organization, coding standards and quality of code in pursuit of exactly what Google engineers envision make it an outlier. Or to put it another way, the differences between reactive coding for a general JVM and reactive coding for the specific Android platform matter at Google's scale.

And Google has the engineers and engineering culture to write exactly for Google's business needs. Google can probably invent a better wheel...where "better" means exactly "better for Google". It doesn't necessarily mean "better for me".

This, minus the CDN - using compression and static file caching headers, only - is how we are handling a major app upgrade (pretty much a rewrite) at work.

Of course, I flip flopped from hating Javascript to really liking it about 10 years ago. Now after having done most of my work in JS (plus Angular 1) the last year, I can't stand working in Java any more. So much blah blah blah to do anything on the server (since Java is mandated). I'll save the Java rant for another day.

Personally, I find that maintaining state about "workflow" in an actual data entry app is MUCH easier in a fat client than trying to preserve state while entire pages bounce back and forth between client and server. Webflows (Spring/JSF)? Therein lies madness...

And it is pretty cool that our server app has simply became a pile of REST services with default client app resources bundled in. We already prototyped an integration with another system a few months ago that demoed very well.

Well the real question here should be how much pain can you bear to learn the process. Because the term stocks and market covers a big area, you have to select a more specific domain, like bonds,derivatives, stocks, commodities or forex and the learning curve is steeper than the traditional processes like coding or design, plus there is capital involved, if you are a newbie i would advice you to start with "Paper Trading" and read a lot of books.

Do not enter the market, right after you finish a few courses, you will just be chewed up and spit out, and find a book called "A Complete guide to Day Trading" by "Markus Heitkoetter" it is plain and simple with lots of examples, and put "the Intelligent Investor" away for six months at least, that is a good book but is not for now.

To me as someone who writes a simple web app in Flask from time to time, web with and without JS feels like two orthogonal approaches. Without JS, you're just wrapping your data on the server in some nice html and sending it to render. With JS, you're building a client-side app that is using your server API to get the data and render it.
