I haven't worked with Ember's templating syntax, so don't have any thoughts to offer there. I was however bitten by Angular v1's templating, on which my comments were based.

SASS and LESS both add language semantics over CSS and suffer from the same problem. So does for example Jekyll's templating language. But in case of CSS, the language additions are a practical necessity - it lacks even basic abstractions, which the pre-processors provide.

So there - trade-offs.

I've written in more detail about this topic at http://www.jasimabasheer.com/posts/evolution-of-view-templat..., if you are interested.
There's an issue using smaller vendors if your app happens to scale. AWS and the like have a modular approach where you can add things that are bottlenecking your scaling. Like additional DB instance, etc. That's a killer feature if you're stuck with unexpected growth

Caffeine is a really difficult flavor to deal with. It's bitter and metallic. It's masked well with competitive bitter and astringent drinks (coffee and tea) but is more difficult otherwise. Energy drinks taste kind of weird because of the caffeine. I learned a lot about flavor chemistry as I developed the toothpaste and went through somewhere over 60 iterations before I settled on this formula. There were also some process improvements we refined along the way to get it to improve smoothness and texture.

I'd chalk this up to a disagreement over what he means by "font data," but I'll admit it's not totally clear.

Regardless I think we're in agreement: the font, the file itself, is copyrighted, but the typeface isn't.

F6 focuses the address bar, so that's slightly different, although obviously a lot of people also just use the address bar to search.

And Ctrl+L is then again the alternative to F6.
I find the pen and paper method of visualizing invaluable. Make a small sample input that hits full coverage and trace it through step by step, writing out each call point with its values. Then you see the shape of your recursion (https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-11.htm...) and if there's a bug it can quickly become apparent.
There's no list of ingredients. Anyway, most toothpaste today has glycerin in it, which prevents tooth remineralization. Most toothpaste today also has carrageenan, which also is questionable - including by the WHO. SLS is not without issues either. Most non-natural toothpaste has aluminum. Most natural toothpaste is too abrasive. In general, I wasn't able to find a balanced product all these years - and it's a shame!
That's a risky position IMHO. You create a situation where it becomes profitable to threaten to erect a tall structure in order to extort money from the neighbors.
I posted another comment, but since you also brush your teeth at night, if I bought your product I'd have to use that in the morning and another brand before going to bed.

Did you think about this? People might not want to have 2. I was going to buy it but then I thought about this.
I'd add that the majority of civil cases are resolved through non-public deals whereby no third party can tell who has won or lost.

That said, it might be interesting to apply machine learning at the appellate level. There, the outcomes are public and more readable by machines. Something as simple as looking for tell-tales such as "reverse", "dismissed" or "we side with the appellant" in holdings could be mapped to firms.

Folks feeling groggy in the morning should try cutting caffeine out of their diet, not applying it directly to their gums.
Speaking as an SD native, and a 25 year old developer, I've definitely felt the urge to move to San Francisco at times, but I could totally see SD becoming a huge hub for the tech industry if given the chance. SD would need some huge transit changes (it would be great if it actually worked), and having companies move downtown would relieve a lot of the hassle of commuting.

The north county areas of SD, where the tech jobs are, feel a lot like Silicon Valley, and I don't think that's a good thing. Leaving Mira Mesa for SV is not a win in my book. SF proper is an amazing place, much like SD, with lots of culture and stuff to do, but unlike SF, SD doesn't have the clout with the tech culture. Personally, I'm always excited when people say they're creating tech startups here, and I hope more people do.

Plus we're always on vacation here :P

Nothing changed about Microsoft. Back then, MS's leadership was doing things that they thought would make them the most money and now MS's leadership are doing things that they think will make them the most money. Being "for" or "against" OSS or Linux or whatever doesn't even enter into the equation.
Point very well taken! Thank you for this!! I'm going to update our page with a high quality image of the back of our label with full list of ingredients.

Apologies for this omission that in retrospect is so obvious!
This is fair. I do think this should be a bit more prominent, though, because when I hear "toothpaste", I tend to assume it is fluoridated. Unfluoridated toothpaste is unusual enough that it should probably be called out right on the front of the box/tube, whereas right now it's kind of buried in a FAQ.

Good job getting this off the ground, and best of luck with it.
Oh, gotcha. I wasn't really talking about the who, but rather if a Bloomberg terminal is worth the cost. From time to time there are people who are just baffled why "a pair of LCDs and a keyboard" cost $2k each month. The answer being that the service is the thing being bought, and that it's clearly worth it to the people and companies that subscribe.

The US Dept of Health and Human Services actually halved their recommendation for fluoride in water about six months ago. The reasoning is apparently that people in the US now get enough from other sources such as toothpaste, mouth washes, etc [1].

Note that they didn't /remove/ the recommendation for fluoride in water. They just reduced the recommended amount.

"To sidestep the randomness of observed outcomes, we focus on modeling the probability of a successful outcome for a given case. Secondly, to account for the context or difficulty of the case, we measure the change in the probability of a successful litigation outcome, from substituting a legal service provider in. The difficulty of the case is not important, but rather the impact a legal service provider has on that original probability of success. From now on, we will refer to this measure as the impact on expected performance. This substitution exercise is known as a counterfactual, as we apply the substitutions to historical data."

-----------------

how exactly did they model the probability of successful outcomes for given cases?

because those depend on highly detailed fact patterns, many of which are largely qualitative in nature

if they were actually able to put all those in a data base that you could then model

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't take away that the commenter felt it is unimportant and he humourously explained why. He also explained that the other things were of greater concern.

More importantly, there's the fact that the level of access required to take over a webcam implies the ability to do all sorts of other things.

neo-conservatives and libertarians are nearly polar opposites. Neocons are authoritarian, and have some partial overlaps (in principle at least) with democrats, libertarians are laissez-faire.

Take it a step further - an auto-off hardware switch.

When you go to Skype you have to flip it before audio/video works - and then once the webcam is no longer "in use" it flips the hardware switch so that it can't be triggered (as the user is not going to want to re-trigger it, nor is likely to remember to do so)

Agreed. That's a good point. Quite often poverty makes the situation worse, it radicalizes people and enhances the bigotry.
That seems like something that could be solved by color coding or otherwise marking the connectors. I know Apple is allergic to color coding (and colors, generally), but there's opportunity to expose more information to the user other than simply by the physical shape of the connector itself.

IMO, the connector should prevent you from doing something dangerous and/or harmful (i.e. you mustn't be able to plug an unregulated charger into a device that's going to turn into a flaming ball of slag) but the fact that a device is going to charge slowly is sort of a "SHOULD" rather than "MUST". Marking the connectors -- put a different symbol or color on high-current ones -- would go a long way towards alleviating the unpleasant surprise of not having a device charge like you expect it to.

And while I know that designers and developers like to laugh at the stupidity of non-technical users, I don't think the average person is incapable of discerning that (say) "hotter" colors mean more available charging capacity, provided that it was standardized. Hell, they're probably fine actually reading numbers as well, if the number of amps of available current was clearly marked in the same place on various chargers and not in minuscule print.
Beats me why it works this way. I was 25 before I took money for programming. From about 16 to 24, I burned out on music :)

I don't think you "keep the same pace". A lot of what I do now is, paradoxically, not doing things, until I'm internally ready to start work.

I recently read in an old Bill Gates interview that Microsoft (at least in the early days) hired as much as possible straight out of college because they didn't want people tainted by bad or even just different development practices. They wanted smart folks they could show the "Microsoft way" to simplify that end of managing their product development.
ARE YOU FOCUSING ON THE PROBLEM OR THE SOLUTION?
It's the most stupid thing, though. We also shower and cook with this water.
This is a good start (in fact I debated doing something similar after seeing all the recent articles on ageism).

But I think more than this, people need to understand why experience counts. Here is my opinion on the matter:

You can hire somebody young and they will probably be willing to work longer than an older person and probably get the job done sufficiently well, at a cheaper rate.

For many one-shot jobs, this is fine. But if you want to build something at scale, and have it be maintainable, and reduce your long term technical debt, you should get someone who has fought these battles before and understands the best way to take them on.

I'm speaking from the same experience that many others will: when we look at our younger selves, we realize how little we knew about organizing and maintaining a large project. Even as I age, I realize the me of just 3 years ago was relatively naive with regard to certain high-level tasks.

So, its not just about the hours you put in, how fast you can do competitive coding, and so forth. It is about the more nebulous parts of coding, the larger scope, the organization of a complex system. There is only one way to learn these things, the hard way: lots of time, lots of scars, etc.

it's the write-only culture of software development.

People only care about how long it takes to write something from scratch. That dictates everything, from which frameworks or languages are "hot", to which methodology people use, how projects are managed, and....who gets hired.

There isn't a big argument that someone straight out of college with low experience who happens to know the latest new trendy thing will probably pump out a semi-functional MVP faster than someone more experienced. More energy, more willing to work late hours at home because of less responsabilities, but also less experience leading to less time spent trying to think about real problems that could come down the road and how to prevent them.

That lets someone code really, REALLY quick. It will blow up down the road and then thats just "normal" and goes in the bug queue and tech debt goes out of control.

I was once in a meeting where someone was like "Well, of course this code is buggy and sucks: Its at least a year old!!!"

I was floored.

Not a lot of content here and it's debatable HN material but if there's a key takeaway for this audience it's that you should save some of yourself for your relationship if you are in a couple.

It's very easy to go "all in" on your startup or project (as th author did with his book), but 9 times out of 10 if you take it too far you're going to end up single, quickly.

If MS plays its cards well, .NET can take a decent marketshare from of Java. C# as a language seems more polished and friendly then Java/Scala. MS has some of the best compiler/language folks in industry. Next couple of years should be interesting, with .net core, VSC, typescript and all OSS, lets see if MS is able to capture any developer mindshare.

I've gambled a lot with poker and sports betting (where you're against other people), but always felt like a dumb ass when I played those casino games (blackjack, craps). Such a strong negative feedback loop to me. I never understood how people could get addicted to gambling.

I can imagine drug addiction, you get that high right away - positive feedback loop.

Interesting that just expecting the outcome in gambling can cause addiction. For the serious poker players, they train themselves to ignore the results. Being results-oriented is a bad thing. Making the correct decision before the result is the focus. Educational article for me.

It seems like the high spending per student is a bigger issue than who is paying. If 100% of people go to college, a massive amount of money will be spent on college at current US rates (20 million people aged 20-23 * $20,000/year = $400 billion/year as an estimate). I'm not against income redistribution at all, I'm a big fan of it. I don't mind if the government takes half my Bay Area engineer salary. It would just make rents lower and I will end up with the same quality of life. However, I care about the ROI of that redistribution. If the government takes $100,000 from me I would much rather it pay for college for ten people than five people. But if college only cost $10,000/year total [0], the debt incurred by the student's contributions would be more manageable. And the $100,000 could go toward building a subway or something.

[0] the US spends twice as much per student on average (including all sources of funding, government and tuition). http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cmd.asp
