The docs / language manual is emberassingly sparse right now.

The Elm dev(s?) really need to fix the Architecture Tutorial and write a proper language handbook.

Right now, the bad docs are pretty off-putting to someone coming to the language.

It's a shame, really, because I think Elm is great.

Yeah I'm a Hendo fan but his title shot is pretty ridiculous. It's a great storyline and a great last hurrah (and who knows, he may beat Bisping as he did a few years ago). But there are so many others who should be ahead in line. Henderson isn't even the Sherdog top 15 at MW...

I want to voice my concerns about the future of Pokemon Go so I'll do it here.

The power inflation is insane. The game will probably be unplayable to new players by the end of this month. Unlike Ingress, the game does not have a way to "remove" power from the game. You can increase the combined combat points of your pokemon collection unbound, and you have a massive power inflation going on. Sure, you get diminishing returns on the training but in the end the pokemon don't disappear and you have a permanent increase in strength. Ingress mechanics always removes XM from the system and you get an equilibrium with the spawn rate of XM and the consumption rate of XM (roughly equal to the rate of portal turnover). Pokemon Go has none of that. If this isn't addressed properly I think the game might just die.
If you search "Carbonara" in the U.S. you get something with cream, peas and garlic.

So, it's definitely affected. :)

It's not hard to automate with raw gulp or webpack, but it does add a significant amount of time to compilation. It roughly doubled our incremental compile times. My team decided it wasn't worth it, but it's possible that a cleverer person could decrease the overhead.

There are several ways to speed up:

- pick a way to solve it that requires fewer moves

- make fewer mistakes while working on the approach you picked

- make your moves faster (may require better accuracy in making close to 90 degree turns, or just speeding up your moves)

- spend less time pausing to think about future moves

- when possible (which is rarely) make more moves in parallel. A good cube allows some pipelining, though, in the sense that you can start turning a face before you completely finish turning one orthogonal to it.

To get better, pick the area you think you can improve on the easiest, train it, and iterate.

Once you find your cube keeps falling apart, get a better cube.

And complexity keeps going up, of course. It may go up slower, but I somewhat doubt it. My hunch (based on nothing) would be that god's number goes up slower than the number of cube positions. If so, finding the optimal solution gets harder the larger the cube.
I'm honestly surprised they haven't yet replaced news anchors with something akin to a Vocaloid.

While it's a WIP right now, Evan has been writing http://guide.elm-lang.org/

I wish Evan allowed others to contribute to the official documentation. Right now Elm feels more like Evan's personal project than a project that is owned by the community.

Other then that, the community has done a good job of writing up documentation, and Richard Feldman is working on a proper book.

I am always impressed by your work, Terry. Truly motivational for me. Thank you.
Note the last paragraph that suggests that this isn't just the 80s scandal, but something that is on-going today as well:

> An internal German government memo was recently leaked to Der Spiegel. According to this, the monitoring of imported produce had revealed that there continued to be unsafe pesticide residues on fruit and vegetables from Spain. Some peppers were "highly contaminated" and the residues had "reached levels we can no longer tolerate". It was the last line of the memo that was most telling: "Under no circumstances should the general public be informed."

For anybody else confused by the fact that RAM is never expanded, I believe it's Random Access Machine [1]. At least, this is my conclusion after a cursory search for "oblivious RAM."

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_machine
"Maybe it's just due to my problem domain (web development), but it doesn't seem like as big a draw to Elixir and Erlang as pattern matching and FP are."

That seems like the perfect domain for this, to me.

HTTP is (traditionally) stateless. So, in the past CGI apps were independent entities. Every new hit was a new world in which the app ran. And, every interaction between each CGI app happened via a standard communication medium (a database or writing to files rather than messages, but if you squint and don't look too closely, you might see the analogy there). There are negatives to that...but, there are real benefits, too. That provided a tremendous level of flexibility in how apps were built and in how they interacted with each other. I'd argue that in some regards (though certainly not all), going to an always-on appserver model was a step backward.

So, to me, in some ways Elixir looks like CGI, only without most of the negatives of CGI. A lot of the mental overhead, like parsing parameters and setting up database connections, can be abstracted away with a modern/fast language designed just for this kind of work. And, the end result is a robust system without a lot of mental overhead other than learning the abstractions and how they interact.

You call out supervisors and message passing and the like as being negatives; complexity you don't want to have to deal with. But, you aren't really comparing apples to apples. Node.js is also asynchronous, and in its bare state is a mess; callbacks are vastly more difficult to interact with and reason about than a system like Erlang/Elixir, and a lot of other languages use the callback model for asynchronous programming.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you're doing asynchronous programming, Elixir is going to be easier than most (though ES6 has concurrency primitives that are starting to make sense, and Python 3 and Ruby have started getting them, Perl 6 has good options, Perl 5 has somewhat clumsy modules for it, etc.).

All that said, I'm mostly spending my time learning JavaScript/ES6/Node lately; despite its warts, the ecosystem is huge, and there's so many smart people working on the language that by the time of ES7, there will be a very convincing concurrency story. Maybe still not as convincing as Erlang/Elixir and the OTP. But, probably good enough for web apps and services.

I looked into Elixir and Phoenix briefly; watched a few videos, read a few tutorials, never wrote any code. And, came away with a distinct impression of a tiny, tiny, ecosystem. I'm accustomed to going to CPAN or Ruby Gems or PyPI or npm, and finding not just one, but several options for whatever task I want to accomplish, even relatively obscure stuff. It'll be a while before Elixir comes close to even CPAN (which is smaller than all the others these days, though still manages to have modules for nearly every problem I tackle).
I thought it was common knowledge, since it made plenty of ripples when the news broke. Here's one article from a quick google search:

Question: Why is UFC such a big deal when Vale Tudo has been around (in Brazil) since the what, 1920s?

I've done martial arts much of my adult life and have been doing BJJ for the past several. I always found this weird.
Niantic Labs became independent from Google during the forming of Alphabet so it is to say you are still giving an independent third party access to your google account.
I saw the prototype of Pokemon Go in 2014 as an April 1st campaign by Google Maps, surely this is a very tight bond with Google. I won't worry about it either.
This is controlled, isolated, and voluntary violence. Why would it make you sad? I think it's fantastic.
Yes, so pretty amazing. And potentially a really high ceiling from here.
Agreed, there are some really good tutorials out there, way better then the official docs. But you need to go hunting for those, and a lot are a bit outdated, with the recent changes.

I'm really rooting for Elm, I so prefer it to TypeScript and alternatives.

Sadly, no time on my hands to get involved.
I disliked UFC until I watched it. At that time, I was very much into going to the gym and working out and that seemed to bring out some aggression that the UFC absorbed. Lately, I just can't see it as anything more than brutality. I guess I realize we live in such violent times and we are surrounded by it. The last thing I can do now is kick back and watch a violent sport to decompress from it all.

Awesome to know that. We have same thing in Poland. Not sure if there's any proverb or a saying. There was a joke that in hell you don't need to watch a boiling tar cauldron full of Poles. If any of them tries to get away others will hold him down.

I guess that's a human thing then. Funny that USA doesn't have that.

I realize you weren't being serious, but this van is an abbreviation of caravan, which ultimately has its origins in Persian: In 16th cent. carouan, < Persian kārwān, in same sense. Found in medieval Latin carvana (Hoveden), caravanna, caravenna (Matt. Paris), and French carvane, from Crusading times, but apparently not in English before 16th cent. The form caravan was perhaps caravane from French.[1]

Your reply is equivalent to a remark concerned about the font size of an unreadable lore ipsum paragraph on a site mostly presenting advanced CSS animations viewed on a C64. But, now I'm thinking whether a genetic disposition exists capable of steering focusing, so there is that.

I absolutely appreciate that; it's a constant effort to reskill myself to stay relevant and I may not always be able to keep up; do not mistake my comments as ignoring that. It was primarily intended to realize that while we have this advantage, if we let our employers leverage us and do not leverage them in return, we would be letting as you say, a rare opportunity, go to waste, and in many cases result in undervaluing ourselves. I do not believe we owe companies undue charity in that respect, when it is very often not shown in return.

It takes about 20 min. It's very easy to get TS to output ES6 (a single line in a config file). It's very easy to get Babel to output ES5 from ES6.

The only thing that might be time-consuming is setting your paths if you don't already have a plan for keeping things separate.
JavaScript dependencies are to Unix philosophy as C++ is to object-oriented programming... In name only, and seemingly in complete misunderstanding of the concept.
They don't "get deleted". When a bank manages your stock holdings, it's actually a different part of the business from the bank that you deposit cash into. All they do is hold in their computer systems (for a fee) the document that certifies that you own a piece of stock in company X. Just like you don't lose your stored stuff if a self storage business goes bankrupt (they or their creditors never have a claim on the stuff, the stuff is unequivocally yours), you don't lose your stock certificates if the bank goes bankrupt.
Yeah, plenty of listings likely paraphrased per Jim Gaffigan:

It’s like, ‘Hey, where’re you from?’ ‘Me, I’m from San Francisco.’ ‘Oh really? Where in San Francisco?’ ‘Uhhh, outside San Francisco.’ ‘Where outside San Francisco?’ ‘Gilroy.’
Which circuits were you watching back then? I enjoyed the asian stuff (pride/rings/k1/dream) substantially more than early NA/UK promotions. The late 2000s early 2010s it became obvious the NA (and ufc/strikeforce) was the dominant market.
I havent really paid attention the last couple years myself. The focus on short term hype and serialization (ultimate fighter) over sport became a bit much for me.
I got a number of permission requests at runtime the first time launching the app. If anything, it appears to be running into more of the Android 6 runtime permissions.

>The primary value the real estate agent adds versus say an ad in the paper is selling now versus selling later. The value of that time-saving is directly proportional to the value of the property.

The relevant comparison would be to cheaper agents, not to "the paper". Your comment is like saying that a $70k car adds $70k of value because it transports me to where I close a $70k deal. It's not the right comparison to be making.

>"Inertia" is not something that "keep[s] the market out of equilibrium." At least I've never seen it in any economics textbook as an example of market failure.

That's almost literally what the term means, and the analogy from physics carries over; higher-inertia objects (all else equal) go more slowly to their equilibrium. And "market failure" has a specific meaning that doesn't cleanly map too "it may take a long time to reach equilibrium", which is why I never used the term nor tried to model the dynamics that way. (Although, had that been my argument, that would be a clever reply.)

But if you want something that appears in an econ textbook, see any discussion around the Keynesian point about "in the long run we're all dead". Same thing applies here: yes, excess returns are decreasing, but not quickly.

>Your argument stretches the word "monopoly" to absurdity. It takes a high school degree, a 60-hour online course, and passing an incredibly basic exam to become an REA.

I said "monopoly returns", not "this is literally a textbook monopoly". The REA course doesn't get you the extensive reference book of (ignorantly) satisfied, risk-averse sellers.

It's the same concept as the "monopoly returns" to a brand name, even though there's free entry to creating brands.

If the term is distracting, find/replace it with "quasi-rents".

>What stakeholders with veto power are stopping you from negotiating a lower fee with the most desperate REA you can find? If all you need is an REA so you can put up an MLS listing they're a dime a dozen.

You don't see why the Board would be reluctant to use a green agent, even after seeing evidence of REA value under-contribution (relative to percentage typically requested)?
I don't plan to use that feature. If they remove or change it, my code will still work.
This is a poor reason to not use TS.

If in the unlikely worst case scenario the TS team drops/renames the ! syntax at some point, given that these are compile time checks, you will just manually go through a list of compile time errors and fix the issues one by one.

More likely scenarios:

- They will make the change in a backwards-compatible way

- They will release a jscodeshift script to do the upgrade for you

- Etc.
The action range is 40m in both Ingress and PGo for now. Ingress players have long suggested restaurants can benefit the most from such stops. In fact there are several locales that contain 2 or 3 of these stops/portals we favor for farming gear and they are visited weekly by both sides. Most of the team is seated, eating/drinking during the event as in many cases you must be inside to access all 3, and it's preferrable to stay out of the rain/sun. PGo is far more popular than Ingress ever was, so this would be significant revenue for the establishment.
AFAIK, this is actually happening with decorators, which have changed a lot in how they're defined (the latest I can find is the actual spec changes: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-decorators/commit/c32ea1815...)

Even so, I've been pretty impressed with the TypeScript teams ability to manage this kind of change an uncertainty and keep up with and move closer to standard JavaScript where they have been differences.

Specifically regarding the `!` operator* , to convert to standard JavaScript just remove the `!` operator, like you would remove a cast or type annotation. It's still within the TypeScript spirit to me.

* I personally would have rather seen it either be a type of cast (maybe `<!>strs.map(...);`), or add a null-safe property accessor: `strs?.map(...)` which doesn't assert that `strs` is non-null, but makes the expression null-safe, returning null if `strs` is null.
To be more precise, on macOS it's using system fonts (`-apple-system` - not necessarily San Francisco if set otherwise or on older versions of the OS).
Do you have the same complaints about optional parameters too?

let x = (id: number, name?: string) => { return; };

Is it abuse to use interfaces as well? They are not present in vanilla JS.

How about React's move away from React.createClass({}) to ES6 classes extending React.Component? Do they abuse classes?

Async/await is coming too and it will turn JS on its head, does eschewing callbacks for async functions also count as abuse?

I won't even get into generics as that's a whole different can of worms.

Microsoft and the TS team have issued a mandate that TypeScript will always be a superset of EcmaScript and if ES2019 includes decorators that are incompatible with TypeScript's then it will be addressed at that time.

TypeScript was never meant to be just type annotations+ES6, there is Flow[1] for that.

The article is from 2001, the study you mention from 2002.

Also that part was covered in my opinion, as the article states "Nor was the oil theory underpinned by any laboratory science. In the years since the 1981 outbreak, the suspect oils have been analysed in leading laboratories throughout the world. No chemical, or contaminant, that would account for the symptoms observed in the afectados has ever been found."

Sure we could deplore the lack of citations. Of all the newspapers I read, only one lists sources at the end of the article. Unfortunately it's not common practice.
