jQuery 3 also isn't doing reactive data binding, and is not compatible with older browsers. Not really a fair comparison, as they are meant for two different things.

You can sometimes save some memory in these sort of "flyweight" records by moving all the strings in a group into a string table. Make one byte-array buffer for the text from multiple records, then use a ("small") offset integer in each record to refer to the starting position of strings within the string table.

Rather than using a 64 bit pointer, or an inline array of max-size, for each string, just use perhaps a 16 bit offset into the table for each string. (or 32 bit if you expect enough data).

Of course, this also requires wrapper setter/getter type code, but it can be a good trade to save space.
That's the tricky bit. Our leaders are moral and intellectual cowards, and we deserve it for choosing them.

No web version isn't the killer for me, its the terrible design.

I don't think the US weight loss market would be so large if society honored and accepted obesity ($64 billion in 2014 was one number I saw). There's certainly people who push for acceptance, but I've never gotten the feeling that it's the overwhelming sentiment.
I do understand that it is not a justification, and I don't justify that as a reason for torrenting content that are unavailable via the legal alternatives due to geo-restriction or geo-blocking. What I am saying is that I believe the torrenting trends in the EU & AUS is mainly due to this very reason.

And let's not kid ourselves, the copyright holders are not stupid. They are very well aware that this is a problem, maybe not the reason, but at least a problem. Yet they keep up with these practices, throwing millions at copyright organizations such as MPAA & RIAA every year to build up some form of scare tactic against normal, law abiding citizens across the globe and creating lots of unnecessary tension between ISPs, governments and enterprises like Google instead of addressing the problem at hand.

There are of course edge cases where I think torrenting copyrighted content is OK. For example, my PC doesn't have a CD reader and I bought the game "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" years ago, still have the CD but no way to install the game on my PC, so... I torrented it.
It's widely seen as less of a simple choice to become obese, as it is to take up smoking for one thing. Presumably if you met someone who'd been regularly given cigarettes since they were toddlers, you would have a certain degree of sympathy for their issues as adults. There is also the simple fact that abstinence from tobacco is simple, and easy, and it works for everyone who doesn't choose to smoke. Most people don't attempt to have a "moderate" intake of smoking after all.

Meanwhile food is a bit harder to manage if you have a problem with it, don't you think? So, for people talking about a "lifestyle" ignore the crazy people. For people talking about realistic challenges beyond "suck it up fatty", you might want to pay attention.

Finally, "honor"? I don't think you have widespread discriminatory hiring practices against the "honored".
It's worth noting that I am permitted more than one Google account, but not more than one Facebook account.

>a hidden variable, such as excessive blood sugar

Well we do know that eating a lot of sugar increases insulin production and insulin enlarges cells. I am not sure about the whole causation/correlation part of it, but for example with increased insulin production, fat cells become larger and their will be a greater likelihood of obesity even in skinny people. Moreover, I understand it is common for people with high insulin levels to have enlarged organs.

It is an outrageous theory, but maybe the difference in the brain is simply cell size due to insulin since that might affect appearance but not function.
No, this is intentional. They're using the hashtag for advertising. What good is a hashtag if nobody is using it? Of course they need to look ignorant, that's the fuel for the viral fire.

seems as if the twitter user that asked people to not use the hashtag "#shopedmond" unless they were a paying customer as his company had trademarked the rights to the hashtag "#shopedmond", the rest of the twitter users were then taking the piss out of him for his attempt to a) prevent people using the hashtag and b) for trying to trademark it.

Although to be fair he wanted to stop businesses using it not the public in general, but why let the facts get in the way of a good old fashioned rabble rousing.

> For China to some day have the ability to conquer the US, wouldn't they first have to reach parity?

Sure. But it's not enough.

To conquer a country you have to invade it. To invade it you have to move soldiers to it. A lot of them. China could destroy our entire navy and air force and still not be able to conquer us.

This is the reason we used nuclear weapons against Japan in WW2 rather than try to invade it. We could have, but the amount of resources and blood it would have taken was extreme. An operation of that scale conducted across an ocean has only been successful once, and that's because we had a friendly country to establish a base on. (DDay)

Should the Chinese want to invade us, their only real option would be through Mexico. No amount of conventional military dominance can overcome the sheer impossibility of trying to invade a country by sea. And the US and Canada are too close for them to go that route. Invading Canada would be just as hard as invading the US. They could maybe try overland across Russia, Alaska, and Canada, but that would be just as hard as an amphibious assault.

Should the US see that China was gearing up for such a plan, we'd send our army there to rebuff the attempt, ignoring Mexican sovereignty if we had to.

Without troops on the ground, there is no conquest. They could conceivably beat us in conventional conflict given a serious enough advantage, but they could never actually invade us, so complete neutralization is impossible.
Its not just pages. The blog post said that links to domains that tend to publish clickbait will rank lower. In other words, if an article I share that happens to reside on a domain that they have classified as a clickbait source, most of my friends won't see it even though I went to the effort of sharing it and wanted them to see it.

I guess in terms of professional development the person might think it's important to expose themselves to new companies and challenges. They don't want to just get comfortable somewhere and let their skills slowly deteriorate. I agree that it's not a 100% fool proof plan but I get it as a rule of thumb.

> A character on a sitcom drinking a Diet Pepsi isn’t giving their personal opinion about the soda, and the actor is playing a character.

A celebrity is also playing a character. Also, if they're filtering the choices of what to endorse based on their personal views (as many of the influencers are), doesn't that make it less of an ad?

I also don't see why a "#sponsored" hash tag is not enough. Anyone who cares can understand hash tags.
I'm constantly frustrated when people make claims like that about 3D printers. You can absolutely make durable parts on a home 3D printer. I designed a whole remote control car to prove that [1], and even the gears are 3D printed. Despite the car having 1/4 horsepower and being able to flip itself backwards with all that torque, the gears never wear out. There is no such thing as "3D printers are for prototyping". They're a machine. They're for whatever you want them for. If you consider the parts okay for your non prototype use, then that's fine.

Also, this absolutely is for hobbyists. I'm not sure how that detracts from anything. Maybe the marketing is too suggestive that general consumers will want to build their own laptop, but that's fine. That's marketing. Personally I think the product is excellent as I've wanted an open laptop that runs all free software.

I've also had a laptop monitor fail on me, and had to connect it to an external monitor to recover the files.

If there's no connection, then why does it matter how the other person dresses? They're an employee. Unless you're hiring them to hire everyone else, in which case it may matter because you need their judgement to match yours.

I'm not terribly surprised. GitHub is, after all, a company which changed its logo to celebrate a highly political U.S. Supreme Court decision and which has had issues with left-wing racism (http://www.businessinsider.com/github-the-full-inside-story-...).
The Watts group at MIT has done some fantastic work into rare-earth doped silicon waveguides to produce lasers on a silicon platform [0]. However, I believe this work is still very much in the research stage. I'm not convinced their method is scalable to production for this $10 & million-unit-per-year LIDAR application since Erbium-doped waveguide lasers still require an off-chip pump laser source.

Jinora – Slack webhook app to create anonymous public channels
For the same reason people talk english and not latin.

Even if latin is a better and more expressive language, choosing english as a language will make the project more viable.

A language is a method of communication, so it is a sound choice to pick a language that is understood by many, not the language that is better of more powerful.

Quick thought experiment: how probable is it that a project (open source or not) will die because it uses a language most programmers are not fluent with? How long does it takes anybody (meaning you include the not so good programmers) to learn python or lisp, and effectively be able to use it and solve problems with it?

GI JOE SKY STRIKER JET DOES NOT ACTUALLY FLY

Personally I like to know when somebody is acting as a paid shill. In that vein I feel my endorsements - at this time uncompensated in any fashion (DistroKid, Ernie Ball strings, Agile Guitars) - have value. I speak from personal authority, not because somebody cut me a check or sent freebies.

I'm not a big spender, so I try to treat my public endorsements as genuinely worth something because if I'm willing to pay for it myself, and I believe in the product, then that's what the point of talking about things is in word-of-mouth business! If I get an opportunity to "test" something without paying, I'm going to disclose that right away. It just feels...ethical...Every once and a while I watch the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Boost Mobile" and soak in the delicious mockery of celebrity endorsements. YMMV.

Or, for any who think the FTC is maybe over-stepping a bit, let's consider the other avenue that gets talked about as a "First Amendment" adjacent issue: Astroturfing.

Trust me. You would not enjoy roughly the 92% of Java jobs out of that number. My Java work was easily the most corporatish "enteprise" soul-sucking nightmare that I'm glad to be out of forever. I bet the majority of the Golang jobs are fun, in small teams though. I know which one I'd rather work on.
> Your logic is unsound to the extreme. Your entire line of reasoning is specious at best and employs reduction to absurdity throughout.

You are reacting emotionally to the first sentence of my comment. And are then ignoring the rest of it. Labeling my argument "specious" is not a counter argument.

> You make these stark, extreme claims and assertions

Such as claiming that the Biblical story of Esther shows that women were not powerless.

Such as claiming that many men also had a terrible life.

Which are both true.

But it's easier to dismiss my argument out of hand, than to address it via facts and logic.

> Are you simply making bombastic statements for the sake of controversy?

Is asking a loaded question good practice?
No, because there's about five rights or so with considerations for hiw they're used. Whereas, "you can use whatever you buy but sharing the file or password is probably illegal" is easy for most people to understand and lets them avoid 99% of lawsuit risk. This is true whether copyright system is good or bad. Just simple, mental model.
Actually, that's already been done in Scheme. Three times. Wisp(http://www.draketo.de/proj/wisp/) is probably the best one. It runs as a preprocessor, but if you use a scheme with the right syntax hooks (guile, racket, a few others), you might find a direct implementation. In fact, the main distribution has one for guile.

There's also something similar for Common Lisp, but I don't know where or what.
As someone who's done a lot of hiring both at a large investment bank as well as a small startup (grew from 5->80), it wouldn't even occur to me to ask about duration spent in college.

I don't know anything about interviewing at large tech companies, but from my perspective, the best thing anyone can do to prepare for an interview is to be able to talk, in detail, about work you did that you are really proud of.
If the answer to "why'd you leave that job so soon after starting?" was "The next company called me up and offered me a deal that was so much better that I'd be stupid to not take it," then that's totally fine and is in fact a good sign.

This article is mostly poo with a few bits of goodness sprinkled in to detract from the stench. Now, directly to your comment, I usually evaluate on the ability to get things done. Often that means libraries. Linking to C/C++ libraries is relatively easy so I'd say there is a lot of potential. If you go back in time to 1996, how many jobs were there for Java? I doubt that many, probably took a few years...even with Sun pushing it. C/C++, even Fortran are going to be around for a long time. Languages like Swift get a good kick in the rear by sheer force of Apple's market share. Rust has only the user community to adopt it. Adoption is fairly easy, market penetration is tough (lots of adopters). It'll either happen or it won't.
I would rather have one single large dependency than a handful of small, regularly abandoned, ones.

In a year I will be able to reach out to the community for support on jQuery. Will I for all of these small tools?
We have also applied to the Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, Blackberry, and Google root programs.

That isn't a programming language's potential. Those job posts reflect current market demand, not potential. How much demand will there be for Rust programmers three or four or ten years from now, not just today.

Anyway, if you're going to take a purely mercantile approach to evaluating programming languages, you should consider the salaries these employers are offering rather than the number of job listings. Consider supply as well as demand.

True (for some processors), but if you are doing packaged structs that should imply you have a reason to tell the compiler you know better than it how to write the struct. That most often (in my experience) means the struct is used for data interchange (ie network or files) and so you have to pay that price for byte access because byte access is a requirement. The other time to do that you might do this is when your are memory constrained and so you are willing to pay a runtime cost just to save a couple bytes of precious memory.

I have encountered the first often in the real world: networks are very common. I have only seen the latter one 8 bit CPUs (there they are paying a price to access bits not bytes)
It doesn't, but at least in the US it might seem so because society makes it as hard as possible to get hooked on heroin and tobacco (prohibition, restriction & taxes) and easy as possible to get off of it (rehabilitation programs), whereas the ingredients that cause obesity (e.g. corn) are actively subsidized by the government and promoted by a large portion of the medical establishment. I'd bet that if the US government were actively subsidizing tobacco and opium farmers and processors, addiction to those drugs would be seen much more as a lifestyle choice.
