The best way to learn anything is to study multiple sources, multiple approaches to the topic.

The "must" in my comment is precisely about what is required to achieve the "from first principles" premise. To learn a subject, "from first principles" is not necessarily the right way to go, but there are things that are or are not from first principles.

Maybe this is part of why a lot more popular bands come from the US than from Europe?

Not to be glib, but when I lived in Europe I was shocked at how many unknown American bands they would fly out to play at tiny venues (bars, "underground" clubs) every weekend. I asked, don't you have your own unknown bands that rehearse in garages and dorm rooms? It turns out: not so much, not nearly to the level that this exists in America.

So maybe the difference is that Europeans like to shit all over their friends' bands?

Wait, are you actually suggesting the complaint itself is invalid? That it makes sense for a website to fail to show plain text unless it can run some client-side JavaScript program???
That kinds of seems like you're looking at a different culture of people from your own perspective.

Try to look at it from the other point of view rather than writing it off because it is not your "one true way".
You are incorrect, as you can trivially verify yourself with a few days’ first-hand observation.

Even if you don’t bathe at all for a few days, or just rinse yourself with water (skip the oil-stripping soap for this experiment), the greasiness of hair/skin fluctuates noticeably throughout the day, and increases substantially after a day or two of insufficient sleep. (That’s right, the greasiness will go up and then subsequently go down, without your doing anything special in between.)

[Side note: it’s pretty disappointing when people make confident sounding assertions about things they clearly don’t know anything about and didn’t bother to do the tiniest trivial bit of study. I find this happens quite commonly even in discussion venues where there’s ostensibly a cultural value placed on reasoning and evidence.]

It's telling that not one comment in this entire thread mentions security and exploitability, two areas where Firefox is not just terrible, but the worst choice amongst (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) (1) but also Edge and IE 11. Everyone is focusing on performance, as if that's the BIG issue these days. Talk about having your priorities screwed up.

Reading your comment, and the linked post, I'm left with the impression that this will not change in the foreseeable future. Every exploit shop considers Spidermonkey a security clusterfuck yet it's still in use. Multiple processes do absolutely nothing for security unless combined with sandboxing ala-Chrome. Continuing to use C++ rather than fully embracing Rust (or something even better than Rust) also does nothing for security. Iteratively improving things on top of a Javascript engine that's a security disaster and a C++ core will not give us a secure browser, as one can not build castles on top of sand.

At some point people need to realize that one has to scrap the pile of mud and start again, on solid foundations. Alas I feel that these lessons escape the Mozilla folks and thus their browser will remain low hanging fruit for adversaries.

In an age where Nation States can MITM __the entire planet on demand__ [QUANTUM] and the FBI delivers Firefox 0day through TOR exit nodes, this blatant disregard for security should be entirely unacceptable. I don't really blame Mozilla, but those who use Firefox and give Mozilla their share in the browser market. If we don't demand better, we shall never have it.

In his own words:

"I have never had the slightest interest in children – boys or girls. They should be treated in the same way. But once they have reached the age of puberty, then it is OK," Mr Clarke was quoted as saying in the Sunday Mirror. "If the kids enjoy it and don't mind it doesn't do any harm … there is a hysteria about the whole thing in the West."

Mr Clarke subsequently denied he was a paedophile, saying: "The allegations are wholly denied." But he never sued the Sunday Mirror and died aged 90 at his Sri Lanka home in 2008.

"I am trying to think of the youngest boy I have ever had because, of course, you can't tell it here. I think most of the damage comes from the fuss made by hysterical parents afterwards. If the kids don't mind, fair enough,'' he was reported to have said in the interview which was conducted at his house.
Would it though? I'm not a lawyer but what's the difference between the employer understanding there is a consensual relationship and then sexual harassment is accused versus not knowing about a relationship and the same thing occurring? It's not like the company knew about sexual harassment and once they know about it they'll likely be terminating the offending party. So why would them knowing there is a consensual relationship add to their accountability?

It obviously isn't the optimal solution, but there are many factors at play here. A few I can think of:

* The available tech stacks and tools for building and iterating on an
online magazine with a rich UX that works on a variety of devices

* The skillsets of the development team

* The trends in app development (such as single page apps, which do offer certain advantages)

* The propoprtion of people who disable javascript, especially in the target demographic (probably quite small)

* Project budget

* The desired features for the current and future versions of the project

And so on. Of course, it would be much better to fall back to just displaying the text. But it isn't completely obvious that, in all cases, it is worth whatever additional cost to do so. Outside of the HN-bubble, there are very, very few people who disable javascript.
Actually, it's prejudice and discrimination based on gender. "Femgineering" and women's only clubs/sites/services are doing just that. It irks me that the same path that led us to today's problems is being walked again, just in a different direction. (Obviously this is a WAY more complex scenario than can be handled in HN comments, but that's my two cents.)
Americans get excited about the most commonplace things like they were 12-year old virgins. You can also see it here when some idiotic startup comes up with an idiotic business model. I can never decide if they are serious or not.

Same in sports. They all go full hysterical mode when they qualify for the next round of 8. Er... boy, you do this every week, you haven't failed reaching the final once in the last 3 years, why do you and your team mates and your family need to overplay it so much as if you accomplished anything special? Do other players/athletes from other countries need to do the same? No.

I can't see the point to spread and spread and spread on things which have just been done how they should be done. Acknowledge them and move to the stuff which went wrong or can be improved, that's more interesting.

About making a fuss about nothing, I remember that time when I visited the USA as a teenager, and when we left most of the American adults began to cry (after we managed to escape from the bloody hugs. I don't know who invented hugs, but I hate him.). We looked at each other, wondering what was going on. It seemed our departure was something big, so we tried to force ourselves to do the same but we didn't manage to shed a tear. So we kids had to witness all these grown-ups crying for nothing. That scene shocked me, I remember it after 25 years.

(Okay, one possible explanation was that they may have thought that we were sent back to slavery in a third-world commie state, since God knows all countries don't have the luck to be in northern America.)

There are resources readily available to stop you killing yourself right now. After that the prospects for help tend to dry up pretty quickly until you boil down to the next crisis. Hotlines are a fine thing to have and to promote, but they're not nearly enough.

> "Amazon has gone through similar periods where the thesis to not invest has almost always been "they don't make any money""

Amazon didn't make money because they had tremendous capital expenditures but they had amazing cashflow and revenues. Twitter has none of these. There is no comparison at all.

> "Mostly it seems to be comparing Twitter's numbers with Facebook's, and assuming there is 100% overlap between the two companies in terms of niche."

Totally false, the criticism is that Twitter has turned away from what made them unique and tried to do things like Facebook. All the while Facebook stole their good ideas while Twitter sat on them doing nothing.
Pure math phd here, now working in finance.

On a personal level I wish I could've been a research professor.

But on an objective level, in pure math the invisible hand of the market is acting correctly. There's already so much amazing pure math published, you could devote your whole life just to understanding 1/100th of the math published in the 1990s, to say nothing of the stuff published in 2016.

We don't need more basic researchers right now.

Sucks though that a lot of people (like me) have to watch a life dream crumble, though.
Largely, yes. There can be only a very small amount of subjects of which I would know more than a professional anyway. So no, a part of the job of being a parent is to show self-restraint when you feel that impulse to hyper-correct your child on every small mistake they make.

Look at it this way: you're starting a new job. A very stressful one, where you have to learn a bunch of new things, long days, and not just learning one thing - you're learning dozens of subject every day. There are a bunch of others in your cohort who are also learning and you're all compared and graded against each other.

Then you come home at night and you vent to your wife about your day and how this one guy is an ass-kisser and this other colleague is full of himself, with an example of something he said. And then your wife, who maybe took a college course on one of the topics you used as an example, says "yeah honey that sucks. BTW that example you just used, you're wrong, it's actually xyz". What would that accomplish? Would you think "oh thank you, now I didn't learn 50 new things today, but 51! Great!"? No, you'd think she massively missed the point, and is massively missing the point about you, and she would be.

Origami eng here.

I agree completely: the defaults should be the platform conventions. This wasn't much a part of the original Origami, but we've tried to improve that in the new version by providing some premade iOS and Android components for the most common things.

You can show an iOS styled Action Sheet, Android checkbox, etc., without building it from scratch (look in the layer + menu). While this doesn't include everything you need to know about iOS or Android conventions as a designer, it does encourage people to start with the standard controls and then look to custom solutions only when they don't fit. As much as possible, I tried to make the Ports on the layers match the API that the engineer sees in ObjC or Java so it feels like you're speaking the same language.

You can also break these components open and customize them, somewhat like you would as an engineer by subclassing or composing sub-parts. Internally at FB, we also made some custom layer patches that match the UI conventions for the FB app, Instagram, etc so you can have consistency by default. These bundles of layers & patches are called Systems (still working on docs for this), which you can build and distribute among your team. There is some more about this in our F8 presentation earlier this year.

The idea is that as a designer you can fill in the text for your Alert View or whatever instead of messing around with resizing rounded rectangles & text boxes like in Sketch.

"Until their skill in a subject surpasses yours"

Which for all but one or two subjects, it will.

Look I'm not saying parents can't ever teach their children anything. What I'm saying is that parents need to know their place and role, and they can do much more good by being emotionally supportive and in general creating an environment in which children can and want to learn, than by being yet another instructor who's trying to cram ever more things into the child's head (much of which will be different from what their school or team coach is teaching them anyway).
It seems Tor users cannot expect privacy in any real sense. Using Tor, they can reduce the identifying information they provide to operators of websites they visit, but they cannot expect to benefit from any more security than that.

>> It's the same as if I chose to take 3 months off to section hike the Appalachian Trail

> This includes holding future promotions and days off against them for doing the very things society thinks they should be doing - namely, parenting.

You ignore the parent poster. His point seems to be the idea that a person can take upto 3 months off of work shouldn't be equivalent to someone who didn't take that 3 month block off regardless of the reason, child rearing or hiking the Appalachian Trail.

If I took that much time off and a coworker didn't, especially year after year, I wouldn't expect them to get more raises, more seniority.

This idea me at home taking care of my kid is the same as people at work is silly. Promotions shouldn't be given just because someone has worked at a place for an amount of time. The exception being cost of living increases. Seniority on the team, responsibility and the increases in compensation that come with that should be according to ability, time dedicated and skills, etc.

On the flip side, if my time is spent engaged with my child then it can't be on increasing my career if I'm at home full-time parenting. This isn't about working parents but, during maternity/bonding leave. It's either one or the other.
This touches on something nobody wants to acutally acknowledge or talk about. There is some subconscious shifts taking place - marriage later or not at all, fewer kids per household, etc - but fundamentally raising children is a ton of work. It is its own job, possibly in a class of its own in difficulty or at least rivaled by almost any other profession.

But society and culture just expects the job of you. Do it, don't be trained to do it, and probably worse of all do not organize society around promoting those who are best at it. In any other disciple if you are amazing at it you should expect gainful employment carrying it out. And there is a dramatic difference between parenting and caretaking or teaching. And even those have really bad real world metrics to gauge success, given by how often sitters or teachers can perform poorly.

But you don't solve this problem when you shove down every adults throat how not having children means they are a failure as a person, combined with the expectation that they should both be good parents and have an independent second (or first) career.

Being a parent is its own job. Throughout history, humans have consistently dedicated tremendous amounts of absolute hours of its adult population to the raising of children. Societies often organized around the subjugation of an entire sex to do the job. It is crucial for the wellbeing and long term prosperity of current and future generations people accept that reality.

Because nobody ever seems to go around funding peer-reviewed medical science done in well-controlled labs with large sample sizes to study how to fight aging.

Except that anyone I ever see using Photoshop uses an external display and keyboard
There's no correct answer to this. But, from personal experience, there are companies and roles in which too many sick days and even maternity leave can shaft your promotion. They usually give fuzzy reasons like "you weren't fully present," etc. and won't necessarily directly say "you took too many sick days to care for your kid!" There is an implicit assumption that at certain early-career roles you are childless and managers and peers at such levels are quite poor at accommodating working parents.
