Disclosure: As the maintainer of Quill, I am much more aware if its strengths and have worked hard to limit its weaknesses.

The main idea behind Trix as stated in their README[1]:

"Most WYSIWYG editors are wrappers around HTML’s contenteditable and execCommand APIs... Trix sidesteps these inconsistencies by treating contenteditable as an I/O device: when input makes its way to the editor, Trix converts that input into an editing operation on its internal document model, then re-renders that document back into the editor. This gives Trix complete control over what happens after every keystroke, and avoids the need to use execCommand at all."

I think the first portion is only historically true. Everyone has figured out contenteditable/execCommand alone is a problem and all notable editors I have seen released in the past few years have reasonable solutions--Trix's solution included. Quill is slightly different in that it prevents problematic operations in the first place and reimplements them itself, such as enter and backspace, but the main idea is the same: maintain a document model as the source of truth, define operations to mutate it, and build an editing experience on top of this.

Some strengths unique to Quill:

* API Quill has the most powerful API of any editor I have seen. You can make any text or formatting change in any part of the editor at any time. Trix by contrast only allows changes to the current selection.

* Modules Quill's internals are broken into modules[2] that themselves can be configured or even swapped out. Many modules also include their own APIs. Trix does not have documentation in this regard, but looking at its codebase, it does not appear designed to support major modification of its internals.

* Formats/Content Quill's document model itself is customizable, which allows users to define their own formats or customize existing ones. This capability is what kicked of 1.0 development, now being released today. This gives Quill extensive coverage of well known formats (tables to my knowledge is the only missing one), but more exotic formats/content like formulas, tweets or syntax highlighted code is also supported. Some editor frameworks have this same idea, but lack the actual editor and UI on top of this so you have to build a big portion of functionality to realize the full benefits.

One main idea I'd like to highlight is this: Text is no longer written to be printed. It is written to be rendered on the web—a much richer canvas than paper. Quill 1.0 was designed and built to support this next generation canvas.

Yep. It's been a while since I read that.
So while steps aren't being taken, several steps can be taken. Any way you can isolate one large group into several small groups, you prevent extreme pressures from building. This can be accomplished with barriers and gates to dampen waves and pressure. (As long as you don't introduce crush against these barriers)

I agree on the lack of appreciation and meaning, but the problem is more fundamental than good or bad bosses: the problem is that "bosses" rarely are a needed part of the process at all. A good boss can minimize the damage they do, but in the end, most bosses are just middlemen between producers of value and consumers of value, a position which allows them to siphon off value without providing any value themselves. Giving someone who provides no value decision making power over people who provide value is always going to result in the person who provides no value overvaluing themselves. It's no surprise that many people feel undervalued, because inherently bosses are overvalued.

Naturally, I am assuming that a for-profit business made a rational cost-benefit analysis.

But it also could have been that they would rather have had countable cash in hand than nebulous goodwill some time in the future. Business managers don't always make rational decisions based on what is best for the business.

Ah; but the way that mining is incentivized makes mining pools almost required to spread out the risk sufficiently as the amount of discoverable blocks shrink over time.

IMO this is the critical flaw in any cryptocurrency. Hell, it's the entire reason we don't elect our politicians directly: sometimes a thin majority has intentions that directly endanger the whole. You need some out-of-band checks and balances to protect against bad actors and moral hazard or else people will never adopt the system in large numbers.

The US has always interfered with elections and other political activities globally and it did so quite publicly.

Quite recent examples are Obama stating pretty clear opinions about the Brexit and the US state department funding an NGO that its goal was to vote out Benjamin Netanyahu during the last Israeli elections as well as sending top advisers that worked on the Obama campaign to run it.

Well, it is for now. This isn't yet a concrete plan that Mozilla has, but from what I've read, the Servo developers would definitely also like to write a JavaScript-engine in Rust, simply because of the gain in security.

Also, browser.html already exists in an early form (and is bundled with Servo). It provides a new UI written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so it can be rendered by Servo as well.

That's the essence of search vs. display advertising. You're right that the user's mindset is totally different when searching vs browsing but I think your conclusion about display ads not being worth it for direct online sales is wrong. People make money selling goods and services through FB ads. And many people are profitable with this (in the classical sense of "ROI"). Perhaps you're in a market where you found yourself bidding against people who don't measure direct monetary returns, and yes this is much more prevelant in display as opposed to search, but it's not that polarized in general. Your click through rate and conversion rate will be lower. Your cost-per-click will also be lower. Display works for direct advertising in many industries as long as you know how to target your market's interests.

Also fwiw I haven't seen the term "ROI" being used to describe non-monetary returns (clicks, likes, etc...), is that common now?

oh let us be honest here, graduation rates pretty much suck across the board at colleges and are nothing to be proud of. For profits just got to take the rap because they were easy to demagogue and a few cherry picked examples were truly bad.

In THE EVERYTHING STORE, which I happen to be reading, it's noted that Bezos told Kephan early on that he would have his job as long as he wanted it. This was Bezos's compromise, basically: stick to the letter of his promise while doing what he had to do for the company. As others have noted, it was not an example of the Peter Principle because it moved SK out of the hierarchy.
Weapons of Math Destruction (The Dark Side of Data Science)
The same argument you made could be used if the author used the unicode codes for Ctrl+D, which I find to be an indication that the argument was a bit weak. The article itself is written in English, and to expand upon your metaphor, tt would be strange to use the term agua to refer to water in an English article. Language is really based around what people use, so using what people know is generally considered good communication. If you use something different it's considered good form to explain why. Each representation you chose is effectively shorthand for the English phrase 'Control + D', just with different stylistic representations. People are much more familiar with Ctrl+D to refer to the key combination of Control and D.

Anyways, I had the same issue when I first started using Linux. It probably took me over a year to realize the caret stood for ctrl, and that's only because I accidentally typed it in something that printed the codes literally.
cool idea, but I just imagine someone getting in trouble for transporting something that is not allowed.
An extremely low-energy atom, that runs at half the frequency might have about the same performance as a top-of the line 12-year old Pentium 4, but that's not a meaningful comparison in my eyes, considering that we still have high-end gaming PCs today.

A 11 year old Pentium 4 @3.4GHz has a passmark score of 401. A modern 2-core $40 Celeron G1840 @2.80GHz has a passmark score of 2984. And that's among the cheapest processors you can get as end-user.

The button on the keyboard literally says "control" or "ctrl" on it. How could that possibly not be easier to figure out than "^" or "C-"?
Can't speak for the OP, but in my case, I had it happen twice between beta 1 and beta 3 when I tried to skip beta 2 because I didn't care that much. It was also an iPad that left upstairs and was too lazy to carry it downstairs to update. Not a primary device, so all I lost was some progress in a few games, but I can see how someone could have suffered the same fate with their main phone and have lost a lot more.

Presumably blitz rules didn't actually allow you to move your king into check like that, but maybe blitz games more routinely include illegal moves that are never detected?

Edit: there is a relevant distinction like this according to FIDE!

http://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=171&view=article

In normal play, when "it is found that an illegal move has been completed, the position immediately before the irregularity shall be reinstated." (7.5a)

But in rapidplay (including blitz), "[i]f the opponent does not claim and the arbiter does not intervene, the illegal move shall stand and the game shall continue." (A.4)

The FIDE laws still seem to assume the presence of an arbiter, which wouldn't always be the case for blitz games outside of a tournament or other formal event. But I guess there is an official notion even according to FIDE that illegal moves (including moving into check!) can be allowed in a blitz game if nobody notices them, which is not the case in a standard game.

Nonetheless, for all types of games, "[l]eaving one’s own king under attack, exposing one’s own king to attack and also ’capturing’ the opponent’s king are not allowed." (1.2)

The Saudis have tried to fix the problem, but not very effectively. They've built lots of tunnels and ramps. But they tend to build hard-sided walkways without escape routes. They also have too many long pathways where people can't see what's happening ahead. So anything that causes a stoppage can cause a crush.

The Mina crush may have been started by a VIP visit by the Saudi minister of defense, with a big entourage, interfering with the traffic flow. The 1990 tunnel crush was triggered by some people falling off a bridge over the tunnel exit, stopping traffic at the exit to a long tunnel.

But it's the long, inescapable walkways which are the problem. There's a good analysis at a crowd safety site.[1]

A German firm did the crowd planning for the Grand Mosque capacity upgrade in 2010, and that seems to be working well.[2] That's six miles from Mina. The Grand Mosque area is now insanely overbuilt
(the giant five star hotel with giant clock tower, run by Fairmont Hotels, across from the Kaaba, looks like something from Vegas) but has much more traffic capacity.

Even more of a problem on laptops since the market has overwhelmingly moved from a technical capabilities standpoint to a race to less weight and more autonomy. Has a result, max memory on high end or configurable models has at best stagnated for a few years. I've a 4 years old laptop with 16GB. It's not yet possible to get that on all flagships laptops today (even though 16GB SODimm is not even expensive anymore).

Not sure how it would work out but I think there should be cap on premium plus out of pocket that's capped based on income. I think Obamacare expects premium to be capped at 7% until your each median income. To me something like 7%(premium) and 10%(total out of pocket) based on income for everyone would be reasonable.
How has your career trajectory been as a remote employee? Do you receive raises and promotions? Are changes in tracks (engineer to engineering manager, etc) a possibility? My biggest fear with working remotely is career stagnation. I've had two positions were I worked in remote offices, and they both turned out to be terrible: laid off at one, left the other after <1 year.

That reminds me of the story of university walkways:

https://books.google.ca/books?id=JEuYpTC-mQYC&pg=PA242&lpg=P...

In short, students walked over the grass, despite the "keep off the grass" signs. The solution proposed by university president Dwight D Eisenhower was "Why not let the students take whichever route works, and then build the walkways over the bare patches?"

The same could apply here. If the rank & file see person X as being necessary / useful, then give that person an official title and responsibilities.
I would love to see a general purpose API client that works similar to the Elasticsearch client Sense [0]. A simple, free-text scratchpad style client that allows for easy editing and firing of requests. Maybe it's hard to support all the advanced functionality this way, but I find Sense absolutely invaluable when working with Elasticsearch and would love to use it on other API.

The only thing that works against cliques in democracy as you described is to have sufficient number of people at each level. The large parliaments are there specifically to block too strong unilateral cliques forming. A democracy full of tiny squabbles is a working democracy - a democracy in unilateral ageeement on all matters really is not a democracy anymore.
^D is the old school way of writing it; you'd see it so much you'd only ever once be confused about it, generally in the very first few days you were learning to use a computer.

It's never used anymore, I suppose, except for the old school people who still have enough muscular memory built up to write it that way. I know I do; I learned it from some computer magazine in the 80's and have a hard time letting go.

> Income is not just wage. Total personal income is about 80% of GDP

Since personal income includes capital income, that's a useless figure when "wage" is being used as an (admittedly, imperfect) proxy for labor income as opposed to capital income, as the context upthread makes clear it was.
You can't make these kinds of personal attacks here.

Well, it's not math that kills, it's people... I mean, I don't think it is fair to blame scientists, engineers, workers, etc. - let alone the tools that they use - for the way the product of their work is used.

Also, to be fair, the elementary analysis book which Hardy wrote under the title A Course of Pure Mathematics by today's standards would hardly qualify as a book on 'pure math' anyway.
> claim that going to college is a bad decision

Taking on the loans is the bad decision, in the case that the student is stuck with no career prospects and a mountain of debt.

> they are making the best decision they can possibly make

That is not true. Going to college is not the best decision for everyone. Many graduates are over-qualified for the jobs they end up taking. Many jobs that should not require a degree now can afford to filter applicants based on completing college, since so many more people are going.

Employers are basically using your years at school as a signal that you are a hard worker. Is that signal worth the time and cost?
Regardless of how you feel about drugs for personal use, enjoyment, or their health benefits, ask yourself: how would society benefit by putting these users in jail or setting them back financially?

Heh, I guess I shouldn't have believed the unbelievable price after all.

Still, $3 for a chip that does 'everything' isn't bad. From what I've seen everyone else wants 3x-10x more than that for chips (or, admittedly, sometimes modules) that do less.
