I feel that you are marginalising the amount of complexity you are adding to projects which might not need it. There are multiple routes toward completing the same task in development. My concerns surrounding additional complexity I feel are well founded, there are costs associated with such a thing.

If all you are doing is DOM manipulation, without doing a huge amount of it, that isn't such a complex task that it should require an entire framework. If you're doing more than that it outscopes what React can do.
It doesn't matter what the self driving car chooses because it's so much safer than having humans behind the wheel instead. I'm concerned that getting caught up in the minutia of these thought experiments threatens to derail actually implementing these technologies.

I think your entire comment is built on a false pretense that popular libraries are called "frameworks." I have never once heard an experienced JavaScript programmer call React a framework.

It's objectively not. To build any reasonable application you'll also have to choose, at the very least, a state management utility as well.

That being said, I'm sure there are beginners who call React a "framework" but that can easily be explained by the simple fact that they are beginners: they don't really understand what React is or even what the differences between libraries and frameworks are. They assume any stack has to be built in some sort of framework, so React is that "framework."

This sounds like a dope and insanely hard startup idea. Splice does something like this already, but it's a little rough around the edges and confined.
Plus WikiLeaks' own reputation took a pretty nasty hit with the Turkish email release; it didn't contain any kind of deep state secrets, but did open up a treasure trove of information that could be used to persecute already-disadvantaged people:

Journalists and anti-censorship activists who I am in touch with in Turkey have been combing through the leaked documents, and I am not aware of anything “newsworthy” being uncovered. According to the collective searching capacity of long-term activists and journalists in Turkey, none of the “Erdogan emails” appear to be emails actually from Erdogan or his inner circle. Nobody seems to be able to find a smoking gun exposing people in positions of power and responsibility. This doesn’t rule out something eventually emerging, but there have been several days of extensive searching.

However, WikiLeaks also posted links on social media to its millions of followers via multiple channels to a set of leaked massive databases containing sensitive and private information of millions of ordinary people, including a special database of almost all adult women in Turkey.

Yes — this “leak” actually contains spreadsheets of private, sensitive information of what appears to be every female voter in 79 out of 81 provinces in Turkey, including their home addresses and other private information, sometimes including their cellphone numbers.

Plus the DNC leak created a strong impression in many peoples' minds that it was a deliberate attempt by a foreign power (guess who...) to try to tip the US election to the candidate they favored (hint: name rhymes with "Ronald Rump"). So there's some irony if WikiLeaks is now going to publish allegations of someone else influencing the election.

If you ask an engineer you'll get an extremely technologically ambitious complicated system of just in time short term rental logistics, and being engineers they'll handwave away the whole social engineering cultural stuff because that's not on any microcontroller datasheet or EE resume I've ever read. Ah well, build it and they will come. Maybe some authoritarian demands to have the government punish people who don't subscribe to my private profitable service. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with good ole authoritarianism?

If you ask a social sciences type they'll whack the engineer over the head with a 2x4 and ask why we're not applying existing proven legacy technologies for remote working and distributed offices and VPNs and flex time. My employer already has something like 50 offices nationwide, why can't they scale to 2000 including one in my suburb for me and the 30 or so coworkers living here, why do we have to drive to the big city coworking office of 300 people? Most of my work is with coworkers in other states I've never met, why can't I do that from home, for all I know they're already working at home!

If you think its going to be easy to get people to give up private automobile ownership, have I got a homework assignment for you, try getting them to support remote working. It "should" be much easier, so if you can't social engineer 90% of the population into working at home or locally, then you have no point in even trying to socially engineer a new transportation system. Stick to daydreaming about flying cars.

Ditto the supermarket comparison. I used Peapod for years, nothing bad to say. I don't need to invent a nationwide network of short term loan self driving self cleaning distributed dispatched GPS guided semi-autonomous cars to buy a head of lettuce. I just want cheaper Peapod. It works, its cheap, and cheaper would be nicer. Trying to social engineer people into having peapod hand them a head of lettuce is likely a heck of a lot easier than social engineering a new transport system. Wake me when 90% of the population has been social engineered into the simpler task of using peapod for food, then maybe I'll expect a success at re-engineering the entire transportation system.

After all, if you didn't require people to drive, they wouldn't need overloaded roads or parking lots... The obvious solution isn't a fancier car, its less driving.
Oracle has no need to invest in its datacenters - it inherited dozens of them with thousands of servers each worldwide when it acquired RightNow 5 years ago.

They acquired the datacenters and the expertise to run them, now it's just a matter of marketing. That they're appealing to big businesses is no surprise; there's more money to be made per deal there. Of course, the deals take longer to go through, but that's the cost of big business.

I don't think they'll beat Amazon or Google for startups, but for the big banks and fortune 500 companies, Oracle already has that crucial foothold.

First you can use reactjs alone without a flux architecture.

> Why are frameworks considered such a good thing

The only thing nice about framework is that they make the main workflow obvious. But things becomes scary when you walk on the wild side (backed by experience with Django and Django RESTframework)

The problem with reactjs is that facebook was using reactjs and its "architecture" for big apps and now they try to make it work in a more general context.

> in web UI programming that widely used and admired libraries end up being called "frameworks" as a term of respect?

Backbone is framework, saying it's a library because you can use only the collection model and use whatever method you want to fetch your data or whatever template language or bind events yourself is like saying you can replace the URL routing or template language of Django on your own. Doable but not recommended.
You are right, ES6 has a lot more traction than I thought. The reason I posted that was because I had a lot of trouble understanding what ES6 was referring to when I first started researching it, and it seemed like an amorphous standard with varying features depending on who you ask. But no, it's an actual standard published as "version 6".

Incidentally I misspelled "ECMA" in my original comment, so now it's easier to see why it won't catch on anytime soon.

You need a lot of discipline in the overall design of your application so that you can add code and data at any time without messing up the design.

It's easy to add code in most languages, even for unexpected features which were not considered at first place. In Haskell it can be painful to do that.

This is really a critique of J2EE. This was the dominant approach when Rails came out and helped make Rails so successful.

Making specific critiques of specific eco-systems is valid. E.g. Java back then was awful. JS right now is complex (though I think there is some great stuff in there). Making sweeping critiques of all frameworks is pretty stupid. Unless, of course, you build everything on an OS you wrote yourself in assembler. Frameworks are just a form of abstraction. Abstraction can be done well or poorly, but to make a blanket claim that abstraction is bad is to ignore the huge efficiency gains we've make from abstractions like operating systems, web browsers, HTTP servers, and so on, which are all frameworks of a kind.

> Is this only a problem with Java frameworks?

No, but Java is notable for this problem. I think the root issue is that it is of course possible to write flexible software in Java, but in order to do so you must write all the dynamic bits in this static language, which ends up meaning that everything you write has to conform to an external statically–implemented-dynamism framework, and if you're going to have a framework then you might as well add to it, and … you end up with a standard Java app.

I haven't programmed in some of the cooler/reputed-to-be-better static languages like Haskell or the ML family (not beyond a few simple exercises, anyway), so I can't say to what extent they would suffer from this same problem if they enjoyed the same popularity.

I think that from the perspective of two decades on, Java turned out to have been a failure, not with respect to popularity but to quality. It turns out that it enabled mediocre software architects to spend great quantities of corporate money coming up with mediocre designs to be implemented by mediocre programmers, resulting in mediocre software and mediocre return on investment. That doesn't mean that it's impossible to write high-quality Java, just that that's not the norm: the entire Java ecosystem militates against quality, because quality is risk, and Java is not about risk: Java and Java-using organisations prefer predictable mediocrity to excellence. That's not even necessarily bad — sometimes predictable mediocrity is preferable to risk — but it's certainly not inspiring.

I too used to really like Django; I spent about six years using it for one project and another. Were I going to do Python web development again, I'd probably use Flask or Bottle, but Django definitely taught me a lot.

But I'd prefer not to do Python web development in the future.

Another is a game where a team of counter-terrorists and terrorists fight with no context, made by Valve itself. A hit game that is claimed to be partly behind the modern roguelite resurgence is a game where you fly forward across several systems, to escape the dastardly rebels and save the federation, and that's all the story you're given. In what has been hailed as one of the best shooters in years, all you need to know about the plot (although there is more to it) is that you kill demons from hell. Gameplay over story, every time.

European imperialism and colonization was pretty much not done in a post-scarcity area: we [1] needed all these resources so we took them. There were also ideological reasons involved in colonization ("I repeat, that the superior races have a right because they have a duty. They have the duty to civilize the inferior races" [2]).

Humanity still very much depends on various resources today: fossil fuels, uranium, metals, fish stocks, etc. So wars over resources still very much exist. The sense of "duty to civilize the inferior races" is also alive and maybe even stronger than ever, though expressed with less offensive words.

I would expect a civilization sufficiently advanced to build a Dyson sphere to have reached some sort of sustainability with regard to resources. But what about ideology? What if they deem us barbarians that need to be civilized?

Only because they don't store it. They are able to choose to store it at any point; we can only rely on their honesty (and lack of compulsion). It's better to have a protocol in which there isn't any significant metadata to choose to store.

I don't distrust them today, but I have no way of knowing what their future behaviour will be. I'd prefer not to have to trust.
That doesn't prove they don't have it though. I'm skeptical of the suggestion as well, but people can lie.
Why not just release it? Maybe because you're massaging it to match your agenda? Assange and Wikileaks have failed in transparency and in being impartial bearers of facts. They seem to be in the same league as tabloids now. What a shame.
