Along that lines, it's also funny when somebody does an "armchair quarterback" of an older codebase.

A company I used to work for was closing its local office, and moving the work we did closer to the home office. One of the lead/architect types asked my friend who was still there at the time "Why didn't you use something like Spring Batch for this?". He accurately responded "Because it didn't exist in 2005."

That said, I'm glad something like Spring Batch (at least for Java) is around now. I've had to implement a partial version of something like that 3 times in the last 20 years :-)

(Both a C version and a Java version for turning client file dumps into mass mailing print output; a Java version for doing ETL type jobs for in/out bound client integration feeds)

That said, I've seen under-engineered batch jobs that mix incremental input and output in a giant spaghetti loop, rather than taking the time to do a bit of partitioning (e.g. - ye ol IPO, Input-Processing-Output), so that you can do things like selectively run certain input units, or recover from bad data in individual input units.
Read through peopleware recently; I was surprised to see it on this list, mainly because it felt targeted more at low-mid level software engineering managers than "devs".

Nice list that I'll certainly pick a title or two from to add to my queue.
Optical Mouse Teardown: a look at the sensor
> Majority of people have opted from traditional gender roles. Marriage is at all time low.

Machismo and sexism still play a significant role, especially in some cultures. But still you can't of course compare the discrimination/harassment received by trans people to those of unmarried, straight cis people.

> All trans are expected to overcompensate; wear similar makeup

This makes me wonder about the actual number of trans people you know IRL

> gender-fluid women (hairy feminist)

Straw man?

> Feminist interests are not always aligned with trans-gender interests (military service, prison rape..)

Are you talking about gender equality (eg. military service for all or none, feminism) vs gender-segregated rules/facilities (eg. no mandatory military service for trans, in addition to cis, women)?

The fact that prisons are divided by gender is because it's unfortunately well known that there exists a group of people that is statistically more prone to violence and harassment towards the other half of the population (I'm talking about men and women). Trans women are statistically much closer to this latter population, so it definitely makes sense not to include them with the first group.
Closure's advanced compilation mode really optimizes the final JS, no?
> As a business owner/recruiter, I wanted something with a low entry barrier for my future hirings. Elm has a low entry barrier, the JS ecosystem/fatigue/mess doesn't.

This is nonsense. There's a much greater pool of talent familiar with javascript than Elm.

Using Elm might be marketable ("come work with Elm here!"), but it's a riskier bet for a developer given it's relative immaturity and adoption.
These contracts look (too my non-lawyer eyes) like a minefield in that regard anyways, but this specific rule certainly is a very big negative sign in that regard :/

That the contracts explicitly mention that possibility and have the "contractor" indemnify the company against all claims if a government or court finds the relationship is actually an employer-employee one doesn't help.

Exploiting CVE-2016-86
Context is king. Language is pretty verbose, most of the time you can understand the gist without understanding 100%. So at least you can make a start - that's the first step! It doesn't have to be perfect. Granted, the French can be gruff about it, but most cultures appreciate you trying to learn and will accommodate you a bit.

It could be the training material. I'm an auditory learner and the Michel Thomas courses work amazingly for me. I also ignore spelling until later, because I find conversations much more important and also pleasurable (so I'm more likely to stick with it). My English spelling was atrocious, I still rely on Chrome's spellchecker (actually, so do many of my English friends!).

Keep at it, everybody's different!

Tldr: "While the hexadecimal notation of using the first six letters of the alphabet is practical in a rough-and-ready sort of way, no one ever accused it of being elegant.,But to this day, the only result I've managed to find in my searches has been a mailing list post in the discussions of The International Slide Rule Group--probably not a very prominent corner of the online world.,Birkana is a Runic symbol set for expressing the hexadecimal number radix, but it's designed in such a way that the exact shape of each number rune is built by combining a basic shape for the number zero and accents which correspond to the numbers 1, 2, 4, and 8.,I find it easiest to sum up starting at the highest possible number, then adding on the next-highest number, and so on. As you can see, every combination of the zero line and the accents will give us a hexadecimal number .,Notice also the exact positions of the accents--they intersect with the zero line at either the top, middle, or bottom, and they end up parallel to exactly a quarter of the way up or down the zero line.,Theoretically, the Unicode Consortium could decide to add the Birkana symbols to the Unicode specification and some enterprising font designer could come up with a set for general use."

I agree! The AMA had a lot of confusion, exacerbated (or arguably caused) by materials that poorly explained LBRY on our end.

No, not all. I was restricting my argument to things given away for free with no commercial gain.

As society, we've agreed that making commercial entities like restaurants install wheelchair ramps is good.

However, if we see a soup kitchen feeding the hungry poor and notice that the building they use doesn't have a wheelchair ramp, we should threaten them with a lawsuit?!? (Yes, the hungry poor can be wheelchair bound too.) It seems means-spirited and a misguided use of the ADA.

You are correct.

However, the purpose of copyright is to encourage cultural development, not enable cultural rent seeking. The latter is merely the mechanism proposed to do the former. To the extent the latter doesn't encourage the former, we should completely disregard the artificial construct of the latter.

I would argue that media companies have made this shift: Disney is no longer using the profits from copyright to enrich society with new cultural content (see very limited number of new properties), but is instead consolidating cultural control and rent-seeking (see studio/IP purchases, remakes and sequels). We should simply disregard their copyrights for as long as they continue this behavior.

Copyrights, after all, are fundamentally a deed from the public to a company or individual in exchange for a (future) service. If the company fails to render the service, the deed is revoked, and the property redistributed for better public use.
How ominous.

Well, "face control" in Russian has nothing to do with beauty of the people entering a club. The aim of "face control" is to make sure that no people that might possibly cause some trouble, or unable to pay, get into a nightclub or the like.

Not sure if explanations of the words from other languages are similarly misleading.
Only partially sarcasm, those that are actually after the truth and not controlled by either money or political forces are dangerous. Truth is an agenda worse than politics and money, it stands by itself.
I read your comment very very carefully to see if we disagree about anything. You're saying the same thing as me, but I think others in this thread are misinterpreting.

So, here is what you and I agree on, I think: we both think that Democracy Now is pushing an extremely strong agenda and is not objective journalism.

Where you add "but not in a legal sense" -- we also agree. But the person I quoted was the prosecutor!! He can't say, you know, this woman just strikes me as being politically different, and I'd like to lock her up for it. That's not okay!

Since he's the prosecutor, he can't just mix his political opinions willy-nilly in with throwing someone in prison for their writings. That's Stalinism.

So while reading carefully, you and I on a personal level actually agree politically, where you lightly add "though not legally" this is actually a really really heavy distinction and you shouldn't be adding it lightly. You should be making a BIG deal about it. People can publish whatever even wrong or even biased crap they want with very few exceptions, and this is absolutely, 100% not one of these exceptions.

You don't need a license to be a journalist. The license to write reports is based on "has America been overthrown and there's a Stalinist dictatorship", and if you Google that the answer is nope, hasn't happeened. She might as well be a licensed journalist, and isn't held to any standards because she can write whatever she wants. It's called America.

if she committed a crime (which she didn't) it's not practicing journalism without a license or practicing biased journalism - which aren't crimes. That's the point.

EDIT for your reply:

this clarifies (thanks) but I don't see why you feel "journalism" is a legally protected status. (I don't know much about this.) What protections do journalists have that I don't if I write wherever I want? What obligations do they have that they can be criminally prosecuted for? (albeit in 'egregious' cases). you seem to imply both.
I'm finding that when some resources hang -- I got it with images.unsplash and cloudfront on different pageloads -- it freezes Firefox completely such that it must be killed. Is this a side effect of React/Meteor?
I kind of disagree. Knowing what to learn is hard. You have two choices, listen to the advice of others, or learn everything. The latter isn't practical, so I appreciate seeing lists like this. If I see a book on 2 or 3 of these lists, it makes me at least curious to read it if I haven't.

Really though, this descent into a police state is such a pathetic outcome for this country. Dangerous, scary, and tragic, but also... pathetic. This is what happens when a sizeable majority don't even participate in the electoral process, and those who do are overwhelmingly mindless.
Often when people think of decentralized webs, they are thinking of bittorrent or tor, or of decentralized webs running on top of traditional web infrastructure, being used in conventional web kinds of ways.

But decentralized webs need not resemble the www. Decentralized webs are radically different.

For me a big part of decentralized webs is people using computers in person, in real life spaces, to share and interact with information. Much of the information will be transmitted in very shallow ways, via home routers and built in wireless hardware, over local networks. People sharing personal files, photos, videos, work documents and using decentralized web applications, together in person or over small, local networks.

The decentralized web could be a huge boon to local economies. For example, imagine a band that plays monthly at a local theater. When you go to a show, they release a new song over the local network, via p2p sharing protocols. Assume that people like the band, and that this is a world where people are familiar with using these kinds of applications. The experience of getting new content will provide additional incentive for people to come to the show. If it is marketed well, the band and the theater will make money from increased turnout. I think this could be huge.

The real question being asked here is: who pays for the world wide web if people aren't relying on it as much. Decentralized webs need not be world wide, though pockets of decentralized webs may interact with worldwide webs, they will not be inherently dependent on it, and will put draw far fewer of its resources.

And in this sense, decentralized webs are paid for by their users when users buy hardware. Much more than users pay for centralized webs.

Maybe there is an argument to be made that software application industries, like the web, somehow incentivize hardware manufacturing. This is probably the case to a degree. For decentralized hardware applications to carry the give people the same incentive to buy hardware as centralized applications do, they are going to need to be dependable and usable by all different kinds of people. If decentralized web applications are an uphill battle for people, then users won't buy hardware with the intention of using it in a decentralized way.
Drip vs ConvertKit: Which Is a Better Email Marketing Software?

There are two places I see the fallacy frequently pop up:

1. Over-engineering. This often comes in the form of trying to perfect something before releasing it, and/or long projects with fluid, changing requirements.

2. Criticizing old code/systems and their developer without any understanding of the context and trade-offs made at the time.

In my experience the first is common and the second is even more common. The worst is when #1 and #2 combine into someone trying to replace a functional system with an improved "v2" that is more complicated and no better.

This is worth a listen simply for the brilliant ways he figured out how to convert python to native function calls for both ios and android.

There's also Fandor [1], which has a ton of indie/art house content and covers the major festivals (though lagging by >1 year -- they have almost nothing newer than 2015). They have apps for AppleTV, iOS and probably other systems.

No, at least thus far you know nothing about what the features represent. They are just labeled feature1 through feature21.
well, in my opinion: what we call "adulting" is what we see when we are kids and watch our parents. but what we see is an act they perform for us - as role models - and we perceive it without all required background knowledge (because, well, we're kids).

so when we grow up and the reality doesn't exactly match our expectations, the assumption is that we're not doing it right. usually, at least when we - or close friends - get kids, the acting is explained. and we might have aquired the background knowledge, but the settings have changed.

i don't think we refuse to grow up. it's just that being an adult is not what we thought it to be when we attached meaning to the word.

Financial firms make profits, which are taxed just like any other firm. Why should they have an extra tax?

Optimal taxation suggests we should tax things that won't vanish when we tax them. Land, for instance. The Swedes did an FTT and found it killed the market, and they had to relent.

Other reasonable taxes are to do with externalities, but this doesn't seem to apply here.
