XHTML Strict only solved one set of leniencies in the web platform, which were also the least important kinds. Malformed HTML makes writing browsers complicated but doesn't generally seem to cause security issues or other visible, obvious, must-fix-now problems.

The real security due to leniency problems in the web platform revolve around the handling of data and how JavaScript works, which were not addressed by XHTML. In that sense it's not surprising it went nowhere.

Don't go too fast. It is widespread in the startup world. In entreprisey world not so much. Here we have no version control, no continuous build and bugs never get solved.

Don't even think about Hall testing. And the people that hired me asked no question about my coding ability nor my Github account. And it is not a small company, nor an isolated thing.

And don't ask about the tooling, i spend my days fighting it... not being able to use package manager due to bad proxy is a PITA.

The Joel Test is still on my list of things to check with every company that want to hire me now. Because i see what happen when it is not respected every day...

Scott Atran on Why People Become Terrorists
> If you 'Alpha' in /just/ the right way, you edge on the side of gentle bullying your environment, and end up having an effect of changing it more than by trying to always try to negotiate your way into having people 'see' the 'right' path.

how do your colleagues perceive you? If you work alone, or if you are the boss, maybe it's alright (the examples show Jeff Bezos, Beethoven, ...), but what if you work with 2-6 other people?

And in addition to that, although I agree that trying always to negotiate takes a lot of effort and energy, how do you prevent misunderstandings when you are grumpy?
Because if I say "X is 10", and then you say "No, I don't think so", but X is 10, while you still don't see that even if I try to use smoke signals to explain that to you, then you can see that being bully/grumpy/defensive/negative is not only not worth it, but it can also jeopardize tasks and the relationship with your colleagues, because it makes it harder to communicate with you - therefore next time, I won't ask you anymore, unless I really have to.

How do you personally deal with such situations? Because I believe that the answer is in the middle: a straight NO sometimes is better than any other attempt to negotiate (oh, wait, how do I tell him that this idea is dangerous? etc.), however, in my opinion it takes years of tuning and understanding. However, when dealing with other people, how do you unleash your emotions blindly? It just doesn't work out, despite all the benefits it might have.

> I know it works for me, sometime you just can't re-re-re-explain stuff around, and a bit of the Alpha button aka Follow-the-leader wand waving helps saving time and saliva.

The question is: why do you think you are the leader? No offense, just asking, because I want to know what makes people believe that.

I have seen this behavior pretty much unjustified - meaning: without this person who believed to hold the key to heaven, things worked better for everyone and even more efficiently, without communication issues and anger. I believe that a real leader doesn't need to be grumpy, as he will show with his actions how things should be, and people will automatically follow, because of respect, not because of fear.

Yeah, I definitely agree with you here.
The minimalism of the original creates a great feeling of isolation, which I clearly didn't re-create in the remix.

This is true. Stars in this context are also more indicative of projects that are attractive to a more mainstream audience.

Thanks, a nice introduction to the topic. Some details in the following article:

"In June of 1954, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower approved a coup, led by the Central Intelligence Agency, to drive Árbenz out of power. It was subtle and designed to be secret: Almost $3 million was allotted for the operation, and the largest expenditure was for "psychological warfare and political action” designed to limit detection of American fingerprints. CIA director Allen Dulles wrote in a memo to President Eisenhower that, “The entire effort is…more dependent upon psychological impact rather than actual military strength.”

The gambit worked, and when the coup ended, the CIA installed a new president sympathetic to American interests. Árbenz was taken to the airport, stripped to his underwear, paraded before cameras, and exiled to Mexico. The fight with the United States that had cost him his dignity was over taxes, land, and wages. But at its core, it was about bananas.

Árbenz spent the next few decades wandering around Mexico, Switzerland and France. Meanwhile, Guatemala, stripped of its leader, its dignity, and its national ambition, descended into civil war. The conflict lasted 36 years."

If the legitimate reason would be, that they micromanaged everything, because of lack of trust, even though I delivered results and that the general atmosphere were a mixture of hate and distrust, then I would very much say so in the next interview, if asked. And if they then won't take me, I would assume it is because the new place is similar and they just don't like people talk about it. So no place where I want to be anyway ...

This was a trade-off I went with. One thing that I learned from years of hacking on haskell-mode is that adding an option for every little decision adds up to a brittle user-experience. If you want this, enable that. If you want to enable that, install this. And so on. A survey showed that most people used about 20% of the features available in haskell-mode.

In the case of Intero I made every decision for the user; there are no customization options in the mode, and it leads to long (first-time) start-ups like this. But in the end I'd rather wait a minute and have every project always work reliably (and this isn't unheard-of for IDEs). It does build a version of intero for each project environment, because the GHC version and package set may differ. This is in contrast to e.g. ghc-mod or hdevtools which is locked to a specific GHC version, so switching between projects is not smooth.

Let's not forget good insurance, and large amounts of money.

I hate to be that guy, but I have been to too many unneeded office visits over my years, or have been told flat out Dr. Whatever charges $350/hr. Hour? It's always just a short visit. As, I've gotten older, I don't want to spend to much time with them. The shorter the office visit the better.

Yea, and I know, your physician lives are so terrible. You had to pay $400,000 for school. You had to get through that residency in which you where hazed, by other Doctors. You have to listen to people whine, and complain--in many cases because they are sick, and in pain. (Get ready for the "I don't treat pain" Doctor", and the FDA is on their side. I don't feel like debating this one either. Too tired.)

Yea, you guessed right, I'm no fan of the American Doctor. I don't like the system? Or, I just don't like American Doctors, with that ego. An ego that seems undeserved after getting into med school, in so, so many cases.

On another note, I'm shocked at how seemingly little advances medicine has made in the last 30 years. Advances that help the patients. Not theoretical advances that look nice on paper.

I smile, and kiss their ass, but there's no love, nor even much respect anymore.

(I'm not comming back to this post. I will add this, I used to think older doctors were better. I think I was really wrong. In my life, I have met one doctor who appeared to get better with age. He had some unusual medical issues throughout his life that appeared to make him care?)

I've marveled at the difficulty of determining the direction and origin of unknown sounds, esp. low pitch sounds.

For example, the people of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, have been hearing a rumbling noise for six years and have been unable to locate it, although they finally have a theory that it's coming from a blast furnace[1].

We're talking about a city of 210,000 where a large segment of the city have regularly heard it over the span of 6 years: "In 2012, more than 22,000 people dialled in to a local teleconference about the hum [to voice their concerns]."

I'm surprised that there isn't an instrument that you can flip on and have it reliably locate a continuous sound that lasts for hours or days at a time. Is there something about low pitch sounds and vibrations that make them particularly hard for direction finding tools?

This isn't so much an argument that we're not close to the limit, but that the limit seems to increasingly be in a direction no-one thought of before.

Look at Shaq and Bolt, as mentioned, or Jonah Lomu in rugby, or Rob Gronkowski in the NFL, or Stephen Curry in basketball. The idea that you can get someone who's so good that it changes how the game is played, making everyone else completely irrelevant keeps turning up.

It's not just that there's extreme outliers, but that in many areas, we're finding that the extreme outlier you need to counter what currently works is something other than the current formula that works, but moreso.

Similarly, Google didn't make a better directory, they made a scaling search engine. Ford made a car, not a better horse and carriage, Uber made a scalable admin structure for taxi payments, not a better taxi company, and Apple made a better mobile internet access device, not a better mobile phone.

It's the old idea the Bauhaus school tried to address (that everyone now copies by looking at the output, rather than the concept), of trying to find a new, better way of addressing the problem, not an improvement on the current solution.

The term "back door" is so justifiably radioactive that the FBI and their congressional supporters were quick to invent new terms: "Front door" and "Golden key". While I'm not a fan of spin and the torture of language in politics, I will admit that there is a difference between the back and front terms. Both are a shameful intentional weakening of security, but one is almost apologetically secretive and the other is bold in its belligerence.

Starting a C++ project in 2016 is probably an antipattern, yes. For those rare days when someone gets to start a piece of software in a green field. And I say this as someone with more than 20 years of C++ experience.

It's just too bug-prone, even if you try to enforce C++14 style everywhere with code reviews. There's always an area where that style doesn't fit, usually around the critically important library or API which made you choose C++ in the first place.

It takes too long to build. It's hard to modularise away the build speed and interdependency issues. It's far too hard to ensure security, if your software ends up on an attack surface.
Recognizing one human among seven billion by their DNA would probably take an unwieldy large amount of recognition sequence.

Written by Chris McCord the creator of Phoenix. His summary when comparing to Rails for real-time push notifications is below.

"... the sweet-spot for Action Cable today is small workloads with few subscribers on any given topic. Going beyond this means engineering efforts and resources must be spent on managing multiple nodes and optimizing code out of channels. Higher workloads with broadcasts to more than a few dozen subscribers risks availability. With Phoenix, we've shown that channels performance remains consistent as notification demand increases, which is essential for handling traffic spikes and avoiding overload."

Why would a three-letter agency bother to do that, when they could just as well get their malware EFI module signed by MS, and thus pass the secure-boot requirement?

That way they wont risk exposing the existence of a backdoor on every single Windows-copy deployed worldwide.
