I love the promise of Ember too. But if you look at the stats, along with Angular & Backbone it has pretty terrible satisfaction ratings. And in my personal experience, it also has some of the worst word of mouth of any JS frameworks. Which I believe is the reason why so many people haven't tried it yet.

Most former Ember devs I know have moved onto React. When I mention Ember to them, I often get the response "you're STILL using ember?"

I could spend an hour explaining on all the issues with Ember's execution (it's been blogged about before, many times). I have no problems with "The Framework Approach", but when the happy path tends to always end up in the same bad destination, the community has to stop and think if they're on the right ship.

Source: I'm a full-time EmberJS dev for past 3yrs, dabbler for a couple years before that. If you'd like to discuss exactly what issues I run into daily with Ember, just contact me (my email is on my profile).
> React allows you to treat DOM mutation as an expression of current app state.

Current app state. As in not past state. Not future state. There would be no need for the distinction if the state wasn't mutated.

> This doesn't mean that your state itself has to mutate. It's entirely possible to structure a React (and/or Redux) app with fully immutable state, copies of which represent change. (Whether copies are done efficiently, e.g. via persistent data structure algorithms, or naively, e.g. via a deep clone, is secondary).

You are confusing the mutability of a data structure with the mutability of state. You can model mutable state using immutable data structures, but it's mutable state regardless. In fact, that is exactly what the Redux/ImmutableJS model is. If the state of your "immutable" react app were really immutable, you would have a webpage, not an app.
Isn't most of the compensation due you receive going towards just existing (rent/taxes/living expenses) in cities like SF or Seattle with inflated costs of living?

I wouldn't say that any company that ~ins't~ a large corporation only has the mindset of "ship fast/ship often"
It still seems like it's an exchange, just not an immediate one.

Still, all of those things are excellent ideas.
Woke up this morning, and realized I just lost my future company to Facebook
So I woke up this morning, turned on my phone, and found my friend sending me a link reading "Facebook launches Marketplace...". I felt lost in an instant.

I had this idea in 2014 for people to be able to buy and sell things and services whenever and wherever they are using their mobile devices. Shortening the time needed to be able to make a successful deal since buyer and seller are already in the same place.

Two years have passed and I haven't come up with the product since I'm full time at work here in Manila, live a normal life, and I procrastinated. Life is hard here, and this was supposed to be my only way out. And my inspiration, my idol, Mark Zuckerberg and his people took it all away.

That is very reassuring! I think y'all should make a note of that on the video; otherwise it looks pretty rough.
> Patents for JBIG2 are owned by IBM and Mitsubishi.
Now we can.
>What are you bringing to the table that would entice a recruiter to do that?

Because it would cost him more in time to find another candidate than to give you a cut. This is assuming you've passed the interviews.
yes, that was the twist :)
Sama does not need to be concerned with the price of the phone, I was wondering is it because of the smaller form factor or another reason. The article talks about him powering through hundreds of emails a day and Im curious if the SE works for that amount of typing
Ehh, wondering if you played Marathon or Marathon 2. Either way, older games are often lacking in usability compared to newer ones. That's especially true of FPSs prior to, say, 2000.

Anecdotally, from the perspective of an ISP, I almost never see 10GBaseT. Even in the datacenter. I see a great deal of singlemode, and some special multimode cables for 100GbE intra-building links. And of course cat5e/cat6 for stuff like 1000BaseT top of rack switches to ordinary dedicated servers in colocation. If you tried to run cat6a or cat7 cable in some facilities here (or order your technicians to do it) you'd be laughed at and shamed by your peers for being wasteful of overhead cable tray space, and lacking the foresight to predict low cost 100GbE optical in a few years.
This a great comment. Yes you can still use jQuery and yes it's still very powerful, but it lets you shoot your own foot off too much -- and your whole team's feet are in danger too.

Angular was a huge step up in "you won't shoot your foot off-ness" and React is a step further. You still can, but you realize that you're loading the gun most of the time and can take a step back.

And that is really all this churn is about -- trying to make things easier and more foolproof. We've introduced other problems trying to solve the first couple batches of problems (accidentally using the development version of Reach on production is one I see a lot), but we'll get there.

The PHP ecosystem has had quite a bit of churn in the last 5 years too, but the yelling about it doesn't seem to be as loud since people aren't forced into it since there are alternate languages.
Jetabroad (Thailand) | Software Engineers (multiple) | Bangkok, Thailand | Onsite | Full-Time | Visa / Work-Permit / Relocation |

Airfares are hard, we tackle the hardest part, multi-city up to 10 legs long. Think exponential search space, fuzzy constraints, and constantly changing variables.

We're looking for both front-end and back-end developers to work on our user-experience and search platform respectively.

Bangkok offers a great place to live with a great standard of living at low cost. Our offices are in the heart of the city overlooking the green of the Netherlands embassy on Wireless Road.

Check out details at https://bkkthailand.jetabroad.com/jobs/index.html
We are predominantly built with .NET, but language proficiency is not how we hire - fundamentals always win the day.

Interview - First we Skype, then maybe Skype again and possibly a demo-style programming task, then we get you on a plane to say hello and to check out Bangkok, spend time with the team, if it all gels we make an offer. Apply https://bkkthailand.jetabroad.com/misc/jobapplicationform.ht...

Please note for expatriate candidates you unfortunately need a completed tertiary degree (>= Bachelors) to pass the Thai Labour Ministry's requirements for a work-permit.

My theory is that since HL2 was "revolutionary" because of its physics engine (and HL1 before was "revolutionary" because of the story telling and no cutscenes), it makes sense that HL3 should combine the series excellent storytelling and level design with something that is also considered new for its time.

The problem is that the only "new" thing since HL2 that could take off is VR which isn't quite there yet.

Personal similar story. I am doing programming since school, and sensing that I am really good at it, my dad encouraged programming instead of family business as carrier. Unfortunately my dad pass away before I become enough successful. I had to return to our family business and take care of it. Many years reading success story here and elsewhere about software companies thriving, I reconsidered my decision many a times, ultimately decided that I should not let internet brainwash me. Great successful things happen when you do anything everyday just a little bit better than yesterday. That's what kept me going still. I may not reach to the Fortune 500 level of success doing so, but I may, because I think I'm going on right path. A better day everyday.
"meet rent next month"? You're not going to find clients that fast and even if, they usually take their two weeks to pay your invoice.
I know some people who get 350$ setting up wordpress pages in the morning, but this usually works exclusively using connections.

Sure, ask some local companies, but freelancing isn't like tetris in sprint mode, it's more like playing chess and building relationships. I think you should also consider temporary part-time jobs doing catering. Registering on Upwork or Fiverr has a lower ROI than doing those simple tasks.
Bose totally did this with their MIE line of headphones. I bought a pair right when they were introduced. They seemed very well made and I loved them. Sadly, that pair got stolen. The next pair was the same but... different. Several pieces just seemed flimsier, cheaper. The cord was a bit thinner, the plastic remote was creaky, earbuds felt were less substantial, etc. Melted that pair on a radiator, unfortunately. On to pair #3. Everything feels cheap, which is annoying when you spend $120 on a pair of earbuds. Cord leading from the remote to the earpiece is approximately the thickness of dental floss and breaks inside of 6 months. No more Bose for me.
I'm trying to figure out who's surprised by this.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see news articles about people trying to sell guns with it too and how dangerous and unregulated it is blah blah blah.
Yes, anything can be done in a different way.
Mutable state is fundamentally harder to reason about. You get aliasing bugs, stale cached values, etc.

With immutable data in an append-only stream this is simply impossible.
They have likely been working on it for two years as well. The idea was worth nothing, and they are likely only able to execute it because they have a ready-made audience.

So, what are you going to start building today? Because someone else is starting work on the same thing right now and it is a race.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see Half-Life 3 announced as a flagship title for a Steam VR platform. The individual components are in place, but it’s still immature.

I thought the Portal demo on the Vive was mindblowing. If they released Half-Life 3 in that form, it would survive the anticipation.
Few days ago I went through some surgery. During the recover I didn't get all the drugs I was supposed to. Then I learnt what pain is. How much pain you can feel if you don't have your dose of morphine.

It made me think a lot. I knew my pain would go away, there were drugs for it, etc. But and those who are suffering a great pain, with no drug making effect to reduce it, and knowing that the time is coming?

It's not humane not to provide an end for those who want it, those who are suffering and the end is near.

It was not my case. But I'm sure it's the case of someone else.
Batteries change this currently. Many people I know have solar installations.

No formal list, but seeing market maps like this is typical:www.cbinsights.com/blog/ed-tech-market-map-company-list

There is a diversity of approaches to improving schools and education. They often feel as much like features than they do companies.

I have to feel that creating the content/performance/assessment backend opens up a lot of progressive improvement. You'd actually be able to see inside the classroom in a broad and detailed manner. You'd actually be able to personalize instruction without diminishing content to paint-by-numbers. And, maybe - eventually - you'd be able to de-school education and let people learn as they can, where they can.
How do you know your own thought processes aren't a part of the simulation? Logic is a great tool to analyze the simulation unless it's been baked on purpose by our overlords.

On a different note, does simulation hypothesis strike anyone else as the idea God just explained in pseudo scientific/computing terms?

It's indeed hard to believe, in fact it would be ridiculous. The reason though why it isn't hard to believe that Valve would do this is because Valve isn't a games company.

At this point games are to Valve what email is to Google. An important product to be sure but not what they make their money with. Valve makes their money with Steam, their games are side projects.

Steam is popular, the games Valve makes are popular and Valve is popular. HL3 is a massive investment, a huge risk to all of that and for what? If Valve were a games company, the money would be the answer but Valve is the Steam company, that money is not all that much to them.
Except then, no one else on your team has any idea what is going on and spends hours making minor changes. And it's probably not tested because jQuery is generally quite a bit harder to test so everyone is scared of making changes.

Ok, So I have only ever done backends and some android stuff,and been trying to learn building UIs. It's been hard. This post finally cleared some of the confusions I had but was afraid to ask.
It continually shocks me how much whining developers do about sometimes having to learn new things. The requirements for continued education are shockingly low (read: non-existent) in our industry, compared to other, similar intellectual/white collar industries - doctors in California are legally required to do 50 hours of CME/2 years, lawyers in California are legally required to do 25 hours of CLE/3 years, and those are both fairly standard. There are a tremendous amount of jobs out there that won't require you to learn anything new, ever, if you don't want to (think of how many thousand brain-dead Java jobs are out there). There are plenty more that will require you to learn one or two new things (any of the hundreds of consultancies and companies that picked a fairly standardized stack and work with it all the time). And then there is a tiny subset of companies that are actively working with new tech and trying new things, and a tiny subset of people actually using all of those new things. Whining about how "it's too complicated!" because someone somewhere provided you with some new programming tools for free because they thought those tools were useful and cool is an ugly look for a profession that's so prone to patting itself on the back while loudly proclaiming how forward-thinking it is.
Very few teams have the opportunity to switch later on, and if they do, it's at the expense of the job of the person who chose to go without a framework.

Best solution: just stop or move to the right when safe. EMS will turn off lights/sirens or sometimes leave the lights on for the opticon to turn the light green, then they'll pass on the left when safe to do so. EMS turns it off so they don't push traffic past the line on red lights which could cause another accident.
A "C-like language" is a very dubious compliment. Fortunately, JS is built around a different core. Unfortunately, it's built as haphazardly as C has been.
I suppose that would also work against the reverse (paying for 1 star reviews). This charity pays for one-star reviews of "culturally appropriative" halloween costumes.

The One in Which I Call Out Hacker News (2009)
"armature" is what they call the skeleton in stop-motion puppets.
Suppose that both boys' and girls' potential to be good coders are normally distributed. It doesn't matter what the means or variances are of those distributions, really.

Suppose also that due to the structure of how children are socialized and educated, the top (say) 15 percentile of boys end up with training in coding and "the chance" to make it, but only the top 5 percentile of girls.

It is not hard to see how this would lead to an inefficient outcome where we are missing out on some great coders, even leaving aside the aspect in which this situation is "unfair" to the girls.

It is in the spirit of this hypothetical that I judge the aims of these female-targeted programs and female-only competitions, and I think that on balance they are a very good idea. Draining resources from a gender-neutral competition to promote a female-only one is thus only superficially sexist. When the unseen effects are accounted for, it may bring greater balance and efficiency to the field.
Just to promote your link a little more incase anybody browses past it - the video in the post is very interesting, it was at the top of reddit a few weeks ago[0]:

The video is a well produced and informative plug for a startup that produces a browser plugin to filter out incentivized reviews and to replace ratings with filtered ratings. The startup is ReviewMeta[1] - and you'd think they would be pivoting after this decision.

I don't want to raise a no-true scotsman (or the negation of it?) but I am not one of those people. For example, there's this[0] that demonstrates how perspectives on male abuse are not fair today.

However, from your bigger point, I don't know what you mean, "because women have been disadvantaged for so long we don't have the social and political infrastructure to transition to a more equitable system." Equalization is happening already.

Also, I really don't think that men will not be freed from gender roles eventually as well on a cultural level. That too is happening already and, well, we can't judge how society will act until we are well near that. The current situation is easily interpret-able so we should focus energy on that until we are near the equal point.

My advice would be to pick one tech stack that is prevailing in the market and master it. Once you master one you will see similar concepts been largely repeated in other frameworks.

Out of this, how many bullet points are present day robots hitting? Can we create a robot with vision that seeks a power outlet when the batteries are running out? Can it make (or "print") its own parts? Can it recognize heat/cold and move closer to a ideal environment? Can it just copy its LSTM models into the next generation(s) to give its progeny a head start?

Have we, unbeknownst, already created "life"?
That's exactly right. We're working on refactoring it as well so that it can be used outside of Redux, here is one of the resulting projects: https://github.com/apollostack/graphql-anywhere
I'm pretty sure that Dota 2 makes them a lot of money. Not Steam-levels of money, but definitely enough to have it as a line on the balance sheet.
Yes, this is true. I work in this industry, and I also recommend fibre over copper for these reasons. However, for rack local wiring (ie, wiring servers into top of rack switches), cat6 for 10gbase-t is acceptable, although I don't particularly care for it.
Here in Manila, this is a huge thing and not just a nothing.

This is like a breakup. I need to move on and work on something else, moving fast and not procrastinating.
Inasmuch as it's happening, I'm glad to hear it. I'm all for help to all who require it in proportion to the urgency of their need; hopefully with an ongoing reduction in scarcity the battle lines about who requires what will start to soften. Right now, I'm just worried about behavior on parts of the internet that seems to be less about helping people and more about protecting the established status of certain disadvantaged groups; compare all the talk about privilege that ignores the nuances of the concept in favor of using it as a bludgeon to shut down possibly-legitimate complaints. (And yes, of course both sides have their assholes, but that shouldn't be an excuse to draw battle lines down the center.) I think the backlash arising from "you're privileged, so we don't need to listen to you" is going to do more harm than help to the social-justice movement in the medium run. That's why I'm very skeptical of trying to shut people up when they explicitly call for equitability in support. I think a lot of people would be far less worried about "reverse sexism" if they saw people in feminism and social justice acknowledge the fact that these aren't hard categories of oppression and disadvantage but instead factual observations of disadvantage in certain categories, which have merely historically fallen more on one side of the gender line.

But of course, the assholes always shout louder than the moderates.
