So it's like... Bonze Uber? 1-800-DIAL-A-BONZE... if it were shipboard it would be... umibozu, no wait, that's a very different entity entirely.

Jokes aside though, this makes a lot of sense. I would guess that in a busy urban life, religion probably gets the "no time today" treatment. The ability to get a house call, on that basis alone, seems like a smart model to follow. When you add in the problem of Japan's elderly and young shut-in population, maybe it even makes more sense.

I really don't get it. This sentiment always pops up on here when Venezuela is discussed. In the Chavez era, the ruling party pushed through rule by decree, suffered a military coup, purged the opposition, tried to set up their leader as dictator for life... and the lesson we should take away from the resulting chaos is that big spending on social programs doesn't produce long-lasting benefits?
Sounds like someone told an Apple exec they can't innovate their way out of a paper bag and they took it way too literally.

That's not just tone, that's the kind of personal attack that we ban accounts for. Please don't do this here.
You tried.

The mental gymnastics in that thread made my head spin.

This was a 'wow' moment for me, as someone innovating in video.
no, it was in a very bad way before that.
Explicitly saying "I want 10 years" is different than saying "a large number. Do the math to know more". This is how identifiers can help understanding the programmer intention.

Then, you can define the time length as an arithmetic operation. Such as 10 * (60 * 60 * 24) * 365.

These might be still considered magic numbers to certain extent, but it's simpler to recognize numbers such as 60, 24 and 365.
Where did I say poor people are lazy? I keep getting downvoted for this comment, but in my opinion the ones who downvote me are the ones being classist for interpreting it that way. This is basic "logic 101" man, "If you work hard, you have high chance of becoming rich" does not equal to "If you are poor, you have high chance of being lazy".

As long as there is a JavaScript runtime available it's not going to go extinct. However, it may go obsolete. The term "removed" needs to be defined here.
This is a good summary. Their market is not very big and they really need to face what the market realities are, however unfair they may be. Which means acting in a constructive way. Snark is very much the last thing that comes to mind when I see "professionalism".
But after food and accommodation, the developer in Prague probably has more disposable income than one in London, so will save quicker.
Well Apple have opened APIs to third parties before.

To say they're not doing something right now is one thing, to say that they would never and could never do it for technological reasons is quite another.

NAS companies like Synology and QNAP are able to offer pluggable storage options so it seems like it should be possible from tech perspective.
GEEZ - Those Legal and Administrative costs are INSANE. Especially if a lot of their stuff is handled by Linux Foundation. What the heck? 12%+ of total spend to lawyers and admin, and this is not salary? What's going on here?
OK, my apologies.
How is this different from the US practice of issuing ever more treasury bonds to pay back the maturing treasury bonds? My point is that borrowing from the future is not limited to welfare states (unless you consider US to be a welfare state.)

As Venezuelan I hope no.

I think everything that can happen with the opposition can't be worse.
These are great avenues for any employee that receives equity to 1. maximize their tax savings, 2. give to charities they care about (in the US). Any stock that's held for over a year that qualifies for long term capital gains can be transferred to a DAF like with Vanguard or Fidelity and you won't be taxed on it at all. Especially if you have a set budget for giving to charities this is a great way to maximize your dollar and extend your budget.

Unfortunately, blocking that API (listening for 'wheel' events) will entirely break large portions of many sites -- any element where they've manually implemented the scrollbar or have fancy stuff or whatever won't work. I tried writing a Greasemonkey script that killed smooth scrolling, but it broke way too many sites.

One thing that does work though, at least in a lot of cases, is using an adblocker to block the URLs of common smooth scroll scripts. My adblock filter rules are in a comment in this gist if you want them (actually, this gist is my aforementioned Greasemonkey script): https://gist.github.com/oxguy3/ebd9fe692518c7f7a1e9
I'm well aware of how janky position: fixed on mobile. The solution is not to use position: fixed, not to try to "fix" it and make the experience bad.
Forget the salaries - you're getting REAMED by your laywers! $350,000 a year for legal and administrative is ridiculous, especially given that this is not for your salaried employees.
Or maybe we'll just protect useless jobs legislatively, it's hard to predict.
Look this is pointless argument. Same way we could argue that small government, sovereign citizen, libertarian meritocracy leads to Somalia.

There is a continuum of social systems that can work, and whether it works mainly depends on confounding factors. History, culture fit, geography, neighbours. E.g. Sweden's been an empire most of its history; Bulgaria has been a colony. Check their performance in historical cohort perhaps? Sweden vs Turkey and Bulgaria vs Tajikistan?

Chavez' Venezuela system is well beyond the "habitable range" of governance. To present it as some condemnation of West European welfare states is ridiculous.
Andrew Mason/Detour proposed something along those lines, but I haven't heard anything more about it since:

I think very heavy is an understatement you could probably call it soft pitch.

Considering VS Code is a light, free alternative to Visual Studio, that scenario is positively absurd.
That's a good point. It's easy to bring a lot of good to a lot of people when there's a lot of money to be made from a lot of natural resources.

It's also easy to let "just a little" corruption ride along as a political price for getting things done.

Problem is, "just a little" corruption always becomes "a bit more" corruption and then "way too much" corruption. And while the good and the corrupt engage in battle royale for limited resources, the poor and hungry are soon forgotten.
Minor point of clarification: the author of this piece has terms for positive and negative angles switched with the authors of the Black Diamond report. Both conclusions are the same ('the part being inserted should be higher than the part not inserted when ice is hard as concrete') but reference it differently.
Serious question: What benefits or protections do you get from putting that on your products?
On the other hand, the idea that large entities should be able to get away with "small" transgressions just because it would be too costly than is worth it to pursue litigation isn't exactly the best situation either.

I'm not saying that's the case here, but I can definitely see people at a large company working that sort of logic into their decision-making process. If all they had to do was ignore the "small guy" and he would eventually go away (due to the cost of long-protracted legal battle against an opponent with deep pockets), then they would.
> I'm more than happy to personally take them as an example of why spending big on social programs doesn't produce long-lasting social benefits.

Different markets have different needs. I disagree with socialism for all things. There are some things, where i think it's the best system we have. Air quality is a good example. Everybody needs air and it's hard to separate mine from yours. So, collective ownership with collective decisions about how much pollution is to be allowed makes sense to me.
Oh most definitely! I'd describe it as an extension of what's taught in the standard music theory curriculum. It makes the very ambitious claim of developing a framework that can be used to analyze all tonal music, from the renaissance to the present.

Thanks! This sounds like good terminology and your writing attempts to answer the question in ways I haven't seen elsewhere.

Also I think the fact that songs can get stuck in your head suggests some kind of mental reinforcement exercise for patterns over time.
Good point but we all know money is the bottom line. All it takes is one store chain to automate for profit and others will follow suit in a hurry.
Why would I want to when all apps seem to request root access to my entire phone as a requirement to install them?
I looked at FPGAs, but that's not just a learning curve, but a whole new world to learn. I started reading about Verilog and decided that an FPGA was overkill for what I wanted to do (essentially controlling a few signals at 5.9MHz for an Ethernet emulator). On the other hand, for the Xerox Alto disk emulator, Carl (on the restoration team) is using an FPGA.
Any bets that this document was not made in iWork?
Are you sure you don't get it? This stuff pops up because some of the community here are ideologues trying to score "points" off of this, regardless of whether or not it is appropriate of the situation being discussed. Any excuse to push for more tax cuts.
Currency controls and price controls and government nationalization have destroyed Venezuela.

Currency controls: there's a 1:10 exchange rate, dollars to bolivars, for essential imports, like food, medicine, etc. The black market exchange rate is about 1:1010.

To get the good rate, you need connections. But hey, it's a pain in the ass to actually contact suppliers and get goods through customs, and you're capped at what price you can sell goods at, so what you do is actually exchange 10 bolivars for a dollar, and turn around and exchange that dollar for 1000 bolivars on the black market. You keep doing that until either you have way too much money or you lose the preferred exchange rate.

Price controls: No country is an island these days. No matter what good it is, you need external imports. For instance, if you're making beer, you might need to import hops or barley (true story, look up Polar in Venezuela).

With the currency controls, you can't get hard foreign currency to pay your suppliers. And they sure as heck aren't going to accept your debased currency as payment. So your factories sit idle, because you just can't get supplies for production, and then the government nationalizes your factory because you're "sabotaging production".

Government nationalization: The goal of the government is ideological purity. If you're not producing goods for sale at artifically low prices (sometimes the sale price is below the cost of production), the government swoops in, calls you an enemy of the revolution, and replaces all the skilled people who are ideologically impure, such as managers, with party hacks who have no idea what they're doing. That's why Venezuela oil production is in the toilet.

The Nordic version of "socialism" simply involves taxing the rich and giving subsidies to the poor. They don't try to dictate prices or control means of production or fiddle with the exchange rate. The authoritarian socialism Venezuela is using right now has failed in every instance it has been tried.
"... There aren’t enough young people coming into the workforce who really want to work in warehouses."

Interesting comment, passing the blame to people. A better comment would have been, "we don't want people to do these type of jobs because we're building a better utopia of the future ..."
"ComScore’s Andrew Lipsman says it’s more a reflection that his company has improved its methodology since then — rather than any drastic changes in the app economy"

http://www.recode.net/2016/9/16/12933780/average-app-downloa...

I wonder what their methodology is? Their first attempt was off by a large margin if it went from 33% to 49%.

I don't find this statistic all that shocking; downloading one app a month on average is actually quite a lot. Nearly 40% of users download 2 or more! I'm not sure what a "healthy" amount of app downloads would be if this isn't it -- at some point users are limited by the storage of their devices and their attention span.
150 million US Smartphone Users Are Downloading Apps, Data Shows

At some point (already?) there will be so many smartphone users that even if only 50% of smartphone users download apps then smartphone apps will be bigger than almost anything else.

Strangely enough, I'd feel this would be fine. I would pay for a non-free upgrade of VSCode if it really brings in enough value. Its already on par with Sublime, and I paid for that...

edit: Though if you mean TypeScript depending on VSCode to build, I doubt thats even possible at this point. Everything is available via the command line. Heck, there are even tools that build on top of the compiler API. (dts-generator, tslint etc)

What should I study?
I've got a PhD in chemistry. It seems like I'm stuck in a career dead end. My specialisation isn't in demand and I don't like it anymore. I have always been interested in computers and almost studied computer science instead of chemistry, but didn't because i thought my math skills weren't good enough.

Now I realize that that was stupid. I still enjoy my arch Linux machine, writing little Python scripts, using LaTex and reading hacker news. I have a good superficial knowledge of computers, but not sure what exactly I'd like to do or study. Nowadays there are so many options to study online. How do I figure out which course to take? I also want to have good prospects in terms of income and job flexibility, and not be bound too much to certain regions.

Well, how many fall in the opposite category? Isn't it pretty much a bell curve?

And their debts are so high because they had to bail out a deregulated finance sector, which caused a recession and major spike in unemployment, how is that a fault of a welfare state? You might as well argue the financial sector "stole from the future" by creating a decade long downturn. Quite the opportunity cost there.
Fair points. I haven't played around with create-react-app much - it seems like a great tool, but it's important to note that a) it's pretty new, and b) it was created to address the very issues of what makes React hard to learn. What I'm not sure about is if the abstraction it provides will come back to haunt a beginner. It seems like the developers are anticipating a point where the basic setup is no longer suitable for a project with the "eject" feature, which means at some point you'll have to understand the underlying tool chain. This isn't a bad thing, but again, the learning path isn't clear.

As far as ES2015 syntax, it's not specific to a framework, but it is an extra thing that a beginner has to learn. Nearly every React tutorial I've come across takes heavy advantage of its features. And don't get me wrong - I love the new features and use them in my own code. But it's hard to tell the best way to teach a newcomer nowadays. Skip ES5 and only learn ES2015? That seems like trouble, you won't be able to read many existing codebases. Learn ES5 first, then ES2015? That seems like reasonable, but again, it's hard to get into React right away since you'll have to learn ES5 first. Again, these aren't problems for experienced developers, but it's daunting for a beginner to get started.

You do have a good point about showing specific features of Vue, this post was only trying to show the ease of getting started. I may follow up with a post to show some more specific features of building a larger app.
Ben from FP here. To be clear, founders aren't giving away equity - they are pledging a percentage of what they personally receive on exit. This doesn't reduce the equity that is available for other shareholders.

Sure, you're swatting down his arguments, but not Linux. IntelliJ works for Linux--I'm not sure why VS was mentioned since this is a thread about moving from macOS to Linux. VS Code works just as well in macOS as it does Linux.

Of course the browser can't play back all multimedia. With its pedigree, I'm sure FLAC was running Linux before it was running on Linux or Windows. I haven't heard of much of an issue with RAW files in Linux either. VLC works better more reliably than anything proprietary for macOS or Windows.

Creating videos is something that seemed "the thing to do" in the early 2000's. IMHO, Apple did have the best consumer tools back then. But I haven't really hear of much use in the last 10 years. Linux might have decent tools? I wouldn't know.
Agreed, it's a huge mess and I see no good way to clean it up. We should probably just rip the band-aid off ASAP and get it over with. I think the non-nuclear window of opportunity is still open there. They have weapons, but I don't think they yet have the means to deliver them. In any case, I doubt anyone is willing to do that, and I can't blame them at all. The other hope would be that somehow either the regime becomes less crazy on their own (like China did) or a successful revolution happens without spilling outside the country too much. Neither possibility seems likely.

On the other hand, I remember how the Soviet Union seemed like it was here forever, right up until it wasn't. That didn't turn out great, but it stayed contained and nobody got nuked.

As a solo developer, it's hard for me to gauge exactly where we are on the 'app' technology trajectory. My enthusiasm for any native mobile endeavour is pretty much shot by now. So, so much work for such little payoff.

Most folks I know will use the 'Big Four' apps for social - Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and to a lesser extent Twitter. Anything else gets googled. So what opportunity is left? I have no idea - maybe a big one. I can't tell at this point. I don't use apps. The thing is, I wonder if this pessimism existed towards the web in its early days, which obviously turned out to be a huge opportunity for those that didn't dismiss it when things were rough (Browser wars, IE, Web 1.0).

I've seen paper bags already of similar design. USPTO is likely going to grant the patent anyways, even if it is just to patent all bags with atleast 60% recycled material.

They could have atleast nailed some of the metrics down, it can be so absurd how the patent system works in the US.

It is difficult to know who to fault, Apple, or the USPTO.

Edit: I think it was a bag to hold one of those fancy, hand made jam and jar, but it was dark brownish. They probly swiped the design from one of those types. Apple is notorious for swiping design and elements.

So what you seem to be saying is that the death penalty is only for when we’re really, really sure that the person is guilty. The problem is, we already have such a thing, and we call it a conviction in court. This is already only supposed to happen when we’re really, really sure of a person’s guilt. What you are proposing is some sort of “super-conviction”, and the question of where to draw the line between the two forms of conviction, and how they should be defined, becomes extremly subjective. Until you have some concrete objective measures which can stand up to legislative scrutiny, I doubt the possibility of even doing such a thing.

Once you downloaded all the apps that you need, it is not hard to believe that you would then download only 1 application every 3 months, or even less often (rounded off makes it 0 apps per month).
