WHAT?

By forcing accurate labels we are disadvantaging small companies?

I am quite sure that, in a month of work, a well intentioned NGO with 1 or 2 people could develop a hand-holding website that every company could follow, for labelling.

Can you clarify?
Maybe that would be an imprecise term then? ;)

Turbolinks absolutely does not beat a well written SPA UX-wise.
This is a fantastic development. Tying the climate change and water shortage to civil unrest, regional war, immigration disaster, and world security problems is something the US presidential candidates are failing to understand or at least communicate effectively.

This article was a hard read due to lack of editing. I hope they update it with fewer typos and cut and paste errors. Peer review people, at least.
I don't think you can blame it on the wrong kind of user. As a former Photoshop user, one of the most frustrating things about Gimp is the amount it forces me to use the mouse. I'm the kind of person that uses vim, and Photoshop is definitely a far better fit for the way I like to work [Edit: Unless it's got worse in the decade or so since I used it].

Gimp is just full of little annoyances that interrupt your flow and make it difficult to work efficiently.
White sugar is crack. Highly addictive, creating fidgets who can't focus for 5 minutes chasing the next instant gratification. White sugar and wheat shake up one's blood sugar like no other.

On the one side, I am wondering that people are still consuming sugar—the last years more and more news/facts/studies pop up putting sugar in the right light. On the other side, addicted people usually say about their drugs that they make them feel good and that they are not addicted and keep consuming. But one big problem that it's quite hard to resist sugar. It's key ingredient of most products in a super market.
Things are changing tho, some modern FPGAs can be configured by writing to some SRAM, making the process of configuring much quicker.

Somen vendors even provide an OpenCL API/SDK with which you can express your algos at a higher level than VHDL.

FPGAs are awesome :)
> If rights are equal, then women are incentivised to divorce to "cash in" the value of their husband.

This only applies if earning potential between women and men is wildly disparate. When women can and do earn as much as men, the "cashing in" factor largely goes away.

Why? What is the advantage of abstracting everything from the raw CPU so much and now treating JavaScript as CPU op codes?

And wasn't that computing model all the range 40 years ago, with "big iron" (less powerful than my phone now) mainframes that lived far away and dumb terminals (essentially a keyboard and a screen with very little processing happening locally)?

Are we saying computing is so hard that people can't be trusted with a real computer? Everything needs to be on someone else's computer and you are only allowed to have a locked down browser locally?

I don't get this everything old is new again trend. And how enthusiastic today's kids are about their grandfather's computing model.

Yes, you can just target ES6/ES2015 in your emit and TypeScript will use generators to enable `async` & `await`. You can then use Babel as the next step. We have a tutorial on Gulp & TypeScript that hooks up Babel and Browserify: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/gulp.html
Hahahaha... A valuable note is that anyone can meditate anywhere... Someone in be stream above wrote about swimming... Others do it while hiking or walking....

I provided as an example a specific case where a country was able to bootstrap its industry using policies favoring national entities, thus creating national wealth and serving all current consumers globally by creating more companies to compete in the global marketplace. The point is, the question about how free some markets should be and for what time - it's not just cronyism vs. healthy competition, or that in every case just serving the most efficient products is a universally best solution, for all time. Economic strategy can use any number of methods, but the current discussion often labels those not respecting the status quo as 'bad players'. But mostly, I was supporting the notion that there can be succesfull or failing national non-conforming strategies. I brought up South Korea as a positive example since there are incompetent renegades - like Venezuela which has achieved an astounding zimbabwe impersonation - that maybe first comes to mind when discussing policies of this sort.
Unless you have natural intuition or memorizing skills that make high school math easy for you, it's for many kids a negative experience due to the combination of a bad curriculum and teachers who are not skilled pedagogically. School math is the number one reason why so many kids learn to dislike it, and programming is the field that made me love and appreciate math for what it really is, while I didn't like it too much in school. With better teachers and curriculum I'm sure I would have appreciated it much earlier.

Your alternative with regulations requires politicians to be perfectly rational. Checkmate.

The argument that people can't be rational and think for themselves, therefore they need other people (a political class) to decide for them, is, frankly, disgusting. No thanks.
I don't know about this one. No one reads the terms of services for simple web services or apps. But I feel that drivers should have read the TOS because Uber is paying them and it is common sense to read any and all papers when doing business.

Although, dynamic languages force extra incentive to unit-test the shit out of the codebase. Compilers certainly catch a lot of syntax mistakes and whatnot, but it also relaxes the requirement to add extra code coverage. The onus is more on the developer with dynamic typing but I'd take more-accurate code coverage over static types any day!

EDIT:

If you have static-typing and good unit-test coverage it's the best of both worlds I suppose. I tend to prefer duck-typing though which is sort of wedged in-between dynamic and static-typing in a sense. This however then becomes not a question of static vs. dynamic typing but of the language implementation of the type system.

In C++ for instance, the over-object-orientation is a pet peeve of mine when people define so many types and interfaces for this-and-that. I tend to prefer the "looseness" of template functions since you can pass whatever type in there so long as it contains the appropriate methods on the passed-in object. Such is static typing though so I'm digging myself into a hole from my original post :)

Now, a good static-analysis tool could catch issues on a dynamically-typed language in the same sense. Then I suppose the dynamic language becomes a pseudo-static language since a static-analysis algorithm is executed on the codebase. Since most build systems are set up to do: compile codebase; run static analysis to detect issues; run unit tests; run integration tests, it could theoretically be redundant step at compile-time doing static analysis when it's also done by an external tool. Just some stream-of-consciousness thoughts :)
Yeah. I'm not sure what decade these people are living in. If you're worried about marriage because you think your wife is going to divorce you and take half your money, you could choose a spouse with her own source of good income.

lying and non-disclosing?

of just lying?

because every sugar product conceivable can be 'part of a nutritious breakfast' without any lying (but misleading a lot of people)
Yeah I get that, it's just that you can already tell if something like plain yogurt has added sugar or not. In my experience, most brands list milk and the bacteria cultures.

I guess varying the preparation of the yogurt can still result in a wide range of sugar content.
Absolutely not. Highly rational people is not the same thing as mathematical.

It's why economists are terrible hedge fund managers and not mathematicians. It's why all these script kiddie programmers at silicon valley are terrible.

Tell me ... when you are mathematical, you cannot be wrong in all worlds.

weight-wise sugar has only half of fructose, and fructose is main offender. So yes, too much sugar is bad, but if you compare gram to gram, fructose is worse.
Would you say marmalade is healthy? It's certainly tasty. It has calories so in the context of starvation, it's absolutely healthy. What's so tacky about this is that there are only cynical reasons to discuss manifestly unhealthy candy in the context of a balanced diet. A candy bar has zero value in a balanced diet, like marmalade.
ahah you can chose among 6 ...or 28 bullet points if you like perfect numbers :)
- I would advise you to focus on classes and object oriented programming. You will be able to catch up with the C++ imperative part if you already know any other imperative programming language. Keep in mind that you rarely ever need to deal with manual memory management. The STL (or Qt's) does it for you.

For a book about C++, I'll would go with C++ Primer.

- Qt by itself is a little bit weird, because it introduces its custom build process and it mainly uses a signal/slot mechanism for communication (thinks callback). Have also a look at Qt Quick, you can design an GUI without writing a single line of C++. There is a list of books about Qt there : https://wiki.qt.io/Books
Lots of food wastage as it is, so that would just close that gap. After the media panic wears off, it'd stabilize at a lower wastage rate.
Haskell is equally suited to backend web development as Python, Ruby, or JavaScript. Just look at Yesod. There's nothing about Haskell that makes it worse for web development, and a lot that makes it better.

For what it's worth, Haskell has uses in finance for statistical modeling because you can model different currencies and equities/derivatives with ADTs and the type system will ensure you never confuse them in your code. Haskell syntax is beautiful and in many cases mimics mathematical syntax and as such is used frequently by mathematicians.

But I don't mean this to be a defense of Haskell. There are many posts that do it better, just yesterday there was a blog post on the front page about one startup's use of Haskell in its main product: http://baatz.io/posts/haskell-in-a-startup/

There are other languages like Lisp that directly imitate lambda calculus. Lisp is elegant because it is like programming in a syntax tree with the entire structure of the tree available for manipulation such that you can create extremely concise and expressive programs with less code.
As both a Firefox and Pocket user this confuses me. What in particular does Pocket do that would have been hard to do?

They already have Sync that moves extensions, bookmarks and settings around between browsers.

The reading mode in Pocket is far from perfect. I use to maintain a FF extension that did something similar and it wasn't much more that a CSS file.

I strongly disagree with the claim that philosophers fit this description. As a mathematician, it often seems to me that 90% of philosophy is spent arguing about things with extremely loose definitions. As a result, you can argue from the same starting point and come to completely different conclusions (as separate philosophers often do), because the starting point was already self-contradictory for some interpretations of the wording. As soon as you clearly define what you are talking about the problem usually becomes trivial.

For example, many of the moral dilemmas that get tossed around as interesting become trivial to answer once you give a mathematically rigorous definition to words like "good", "moral", "utilitarian" or whatever.
Last year, I started taking LCHF lifestyle [0] seriously. The primary influence was Prof Tim Noakes [1] and his relentless tweets about how sugar is at the root of widespread obesity, and the diseases associated with obesity. I stopped having sugar and carbohydrate rich food, and my weight dropped rapidly. I went from being heaviest in my life to 10kg lighter in a span of 6 months. And I felt great.

Now I know the secret sauce of weight loss, and feeling great at the same time, but the only thing that knocks me off this diet and lifestyle is stress. When under work related stress, I end up eating carbohydrate rich food which results in quick weight gain. I am in the process of figuring out a way to stay on LCHF because I long to going back to the feeling that I have experienced while on LCHF.

> Trade agreements are voluntary. If a country thinks it's better off outside a given trade agreement, it can just leave it behind.

Completely dismisses the complex reality of how decisions are made within a country. It's possible, even likely, that a system exists that represents the will of a few who benefit over the majority who suffer.
And that's why I prefer static typing. All those trivial unit tests get in the way.
Either a good is fungible or it isn't (well, a good has an elasticity, it's not binary of course), it doesn't depend on the supply. Consumer choices are a function of elasticity and location on the supply/demand curve (and many more things ofc, but that's not relevant for this point). In other words, supply nor demand are a component of fungibility.
Are you assuming typescript is the _only_ good typed language people use?
Anecdotally, I completely disagree. I've been eating a ketogenic diet (less than ~20 net grams per day) almost exclusively since May 2013 and have been lifting for the last 8 months and haven't needed for any carbs. While it's possible after a certain level some well-timed carbs can help you lift heavier than without, those won't be the kinds of sugars most people are eating. But, since I'm not looking to become a body builder I'll probably never need to worry about that.
>Also, after marriage, Chinese woman will not focus mostly on work or career promotion but rather on family, so in the long term, they are 1) financially attached to the husband 2) emotionally attached to the husband. This makes them want to "fix" the marriage rather than abandon it, even if the fix is superficial and (maybe) temporary.

This was the reason for community property laws in the West. But now that women work outside the home and earn almost as much as men, community property has morphed into a divorce theft regime in which the wife can take 60% to 100% of everything the man holds dear including his children, his income, the house, and his retirement income and assets, all as (often lifetime) alimony and upwardly variable child support, all under the persistent threat of imprisonment even if he has done nothing to deserve such abuse.

Please note that, in China, the national divorce rate is approximately 2% but in first-tier cities, where women have the highest earning potential, it's over 47%. If women in China file for divorce at similar rates as they have in the U.S. for over 100 years, they they will be filing 65% to 70% of divorces.

Divorce is easy in China, for both women and men. The government policy is equality of the sexes--women hold up half the sky. And divorce rates are highest in cities where women have the greatest agency and highest economic independence.

So, in China divorcees cannot seize their ex husband's premarital assets (govt policy) often leaving them destitute through no fault of theirs. In Anglo Saxon countries, millions fathers are not allowed to see let alone raise their children. Both are sad situations but which is worse?

BTW, anyone contemplating marriage in America might want to watch the movie 'Divorce Corp' first.
What's amusing about that? Divorce can be devastating to a person's physical and mental health as can many other social problems. So it seems logical to me that the CDC tracks this.

Again, something that is solvable with smart regulation.

But then again, as I said above, I see business as a privilege, not a right.

Wow. Stop considering yourself a libertarian, seriously. This is authoritarian talk. All I see you arguing for is rules, and if somone points out their flaws, more and 'smarter' rules. This is the exact opposite of libertarianism.
This is sort of why I think having it stated explicitly within the paper, not just an aside but part of the actual process. It's to pit less scrupulous journalists against one another, in an "honor among thieves" sort of way I guess. If someone wants to go ahead and write clickbait, they can, but it leaves them open to someone else looking to discredit them going "well, did you even read the paper? they told you not to write that."

it's not so much checking for the public purpose, it's for others.

It seems like it should be clear if you read the definitions. Perhaps if you explain why you think it should be 'affect', you can get a better explanation.
This is not true at all. I know many people in mathematics that are below average when it comes to arithmetic, some to the point of suffering from dyscalcula. I myself am probably in at least the bottom quartile of arithmetic ability, and there have been quite a few historic examples of top mathematicians with a similar "problem", Hilbert being a common example.

There's a huge difference between reasoning about abstract statements and arithmetic calculation, even when it comes to abstract statements about arithmetic. I'm not saying there's no correlation, but the conditioned probability in the direction of bad at arithmetic => bad at mathematical reasoning is probably much lower than you'd expect.

At the very least, I'd encourage those that are bad at arithmetic to not assume they will be bad at mathematics or data science. If I had, I'd be much worse off and less happy than I am now with math in my life :)

The argument against is it's a false sense of security.

And no, you don't have to retire http. and no, we don't have to switch to it immediately. You can simply add it as a new protocol and begin educating users.

No user that I personally know has ever been trained to identify markers on a browser, or the difference between 'http' and 'https'. It's all too complicated... What, is that a padlock? A check mark? Green? Blue? Yellow? What does "ache tee tee pee ess" mean anyway?

But what is very simple and intuitive is the word "secure". Just make sure the first word is "secure". It even rhymes!
Typescript actually already supports async/await since version 1.7, but only for ES6 targets - i.e. it compiles everything down to generator-based coroutines, which is essentially the same as the 'transform-async-to-generator' plugin in Babel, I guess. If you want to support ES5/3, I guess you can always target ES6 with Typescript and then feed the result to Babel. It's a bit clunky, but it would probably work.

Where Babel shines vs. Typescript is that you get much more fine-grained control over which transformations to apply. Typescript doesn't seem to support just emitting async/await directly, which is what you would want if you target a browser which support async/await directly (Beta Chrome and Edge already support it behind a flag, and it's going to come to other browsers soon)
