Isn't the problem of including only the code the component actually needs already solved with dead code elimination? So the framework authors can include new features but as long as your component doesn't use them the code for those feature does not end up in the final bundle you serve to the user.

I sure am missing something here because the author of Svelte is actually also the author of rollup.js [1] which does exactly that, it eliminates dead code via its tree-shaking mechanism.

The Human Touch: Artificial Intelligence and Art
I noticed the same thing. Was previously working on a startup using PHP/MySQL/Backbone. We just kept churning out releases out of management's ever changing specs.

After a while with the chatbot hype, in comes this external contractor, and started dismissing people left and right that either did not code in javascript or wanted to use his simplistic challenge/response chatbot (we coded a decision tree based system). In any case, at that stage the startup was failing, I ended up leaving, kept working with same cooling in my own startup and have been happy ever since.

So for me, the moral of the story is, work for somebody that is focused on the product instead of trying to win a hipster contest. First time I saw that was when .NET was in beta mode and our tech lead decided to switch everything over to an undocumented/buggy system back then.
You'd get your money back from street pushers. Really.
The funny/ironic part about calling MDMA Ecstasy is that many dealers can't sell pure MDMA because their clientele expect a stimulant buzz along with the good vibes. People getting pure MDMA often think it's poor quality or cut with something, much to the face-palm of their dealers.

Which leads to the question why there is no proper JIT implementation of Python. It's so widely used that you would expect someone coming up with one eventually. Or are language features so different that they don't allow an implementation similar to LuaJIT or Julia?

> If everything he encounters, for example, is in 2.7, then that's probably the best tool for the job.

I disagree. Your example describes two completely different solutions to different scenarios; but Python 3 is not a different solution, it's a subset. It has everything that 2.7 has, only improved -- which means that for each case that Py 2.7 can handle, Py 3 can handle it just as easily, or better.

My comment was simply about the phrase "the best tool for the job" -- Python 2.7 is in many cases good enough, and there is no point in switching an existing codebase if it means much more work than it brings benefits. However, when starting something new, with the goal of using "the best tool for the job", Python 3 is -- in my experience at least -- the clear winner.
Ah I see, so it's about the rate of heating more than the amount of heat it can potentially generate. That makes sense, thanks.

The parent comment has proven oddly controversial going down to 0 and up to +5 and back down again. So let me try to do better and clarify what I mean. For context, I am maintaining Fedora on RISC-V: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V .

On a PC, there is a serial port at a standard location. It's not "discoverable", but every PC you care about has one at the same address, and it's incredibly easy to use with a tiny bit of assembler. You can always print messages, even in the earliest parts of early boot.

On non-PC platforms (I've used ARMv7, ARMv8, POWER) there's a zoo of serial ports. There are at least a half dozen different bits of hardware, on different ports, self-describing, not discoverable at all, or mentioned in device tree in multiple different ways. Some even require PCI so needing ugly hacks to output early boot messages.

Critically, if you get the wrong serial port, you cannot see any boot messages at all. There's no way to tell what's going wrong.

So I think, for serial ports, the PC approach is definitely, clearly better.

For other hardware, it should just be self-describing. PCI and USB are the model examples here. And in fact, why not just use those?
Zero-cost abstractions
Hey sorry didn't see this -- https://www.udemy.com/complete-guitar-system-beginner-to-adv...
Taken to its extreme, that argues for writing everything in assembly language.

React's virtual DOM diffing makes components more readable than the previous style of writing code to explicitly manipulate the DOM and totally hides what's really happening. However, we trust that it's going to do the right thing, just as we trust that the JavaScript engine will do the right thing when it JITs and interprets our code.
Table prejudice and HTML xenophobia
The historical path is completely irrelevant. We need to stop producing CO2 (completely stop) within the next 30+-30 years if we want to limit global warming to ~2 degrees. The fact that "first world" countries have historically polluted much more during their development doesn't change that. We have to stop pointing fingers and start massively investing in change.

Scaling Servant Leadership
There are countries where the chances of a new mobile OS succeeding depend mostly on the ability to run Whatsapp. Simply put: WA is the free SMS in many developing contries where air-time is still expensive. Carriers even offer plans with unlimited data for WA usage and that is key to drive new sales (I know this for a fact). I still argue that the main reason FFOS on a ultra cheap ZTE failed to gain market share on developing countries was because potential buyers realized they wouldn't be able to chat with friends and family.

For this reason, if Sailfish can trully run any Android app, I'd say they have a better chance.

I tend to agree, but I don't think a society should treat all drugs the same. Opiates and crack cocaine are much more dangerous, than say pot or MDMA.

If we legalize everything, we need much better drug education in schools. Let's get rid of "Just Say No" and instead actually teach kids to make informed decisions about what they will and will not put in their bodies.
Well, I am currently prohibited from using it where I work, for some good reasons and some bad ones. The good reasons include things like not having any isolation between users. I work in a regulated industry, and if an SQS task includes sensitive customer data, I cannot ensure it runs only on machines in my VPC, nor can I ensure that the data is encrypted on disk, so I am prohibited from using it. The not-so-good reasons are things like "Amazon hasn't provided a written statement about how long it may take for a task to appear on the queues, so we have to assume that it might take days and any task with an SLA less than 'days' may not use SQS." (What can I say... some of our policy people are irrational.)

i wonder, though, if compilation is really better than creating a library? if we look at the REPL output [0], we can see what comprises the bones of a Svelte component, and how much generated code will be replicated.

it also shows that the more interesting part here is it's method for rendering. it's use of data binding and compilation means we don't really need something like VDOM to stay efficient (at least, not a VDOM running in the browser).

I think you forget that many such situations already exist on earth.

Tell me why the farmers in north korea can't just start a functional economy?

Or african refugees that pile up on italian islands?

Why is america walled off? Literally towards the south and figuratively towards the rest of the world? Why is america so afraid that I may actually contribute to society that they can't allow me to type out a single line of code while I'm on their continent?

Why is china wrapping all their seaside cities into special economic interest zones while a billion farmers have to be subjected to quasi stalinist idiocy?

Why are mexicans trying to enter the US? It surely cant be that difficult to start a reasonable economy on their own terms?

Why did the east germans try to jump the wall? East Germany was shit by comparison, but it certainly wasn't compared to other parts of the world?

The people in Elysium depended on earths resources. They turned all earthers into de facto slaves. This may be a bit of a stretch compared to reality, but in principle, it is what we are doing all around the world.

You wake up, drink your gluten free soylent, take a shower, sit down and begin to type words into a computer that literally change the world. They will be deployed on machines you've never seen and maybe don't fully understand, but in doing so you can take important jobs away that feed families, build spacecraft that will colonize mars, etc.

Your instacart delivery will pop up around 2pm. You call an uber to get to the gym because you would turn fat if you didnt regularly exercise. You spend an hour in the bathroom to groom your hipster beard and then head out to have an ironic pabst with all your hipster friends who live similar lifestyles.

And you didn't even realize how many people you virtually ran over that day.

Maybe not you, but that could be a typical day in the life of your average hackernewser.

Do you really think you have all that much in common with a Louisiana coal miner who fears for the well-being of his family? We may as well be aliens to them.

We are already walled off. We are masters over the machines. They are not. We have already "won". People are free to enter our society, we won't judge, but all those people out there who voted trump because they're scared of US are real. People who drink pabst because they can't AFFORD non-ironic brands of beer.

Its not that the poor can't organize themselves. Maybe they can't, I don't know - but throughout history, the poor were usually oppressed into varying forms of slavery.

In the US, for example, the womb you pop out of decides whether you're going to public school or real school. Maybe in principle, these people have a fair shot at social mobility, but what if modern society requires a level of education that they just never had a chance of achieving? I wouldn't be so quick to judge.

> The truth is that authorities the world over have finally caught up with the internet.

This isn't true they misunderstand it. They're trying to force it into their centralised, controllable world-view. They haven't yet figured out that this doesn't work with a decentralised system where its trivial for people to hop on and off the network irrespective of geography and borders.

This is hardly a battle they can win, the outcome is just that the average citizen is watched and those with knowledge of the internet circumvent the snooping.
This will slowly chug along until someone leaks or gains a copy of the data, shares it online, ruins a bunch of lives, prompts public outcry and then they inevitably scrap it.

> If the activists/journalists/whatever don't want to take the necessary precautions to use computers to talk to people in a way in which they are protected from capable adversaries, then I'm not sure what it is that they are expecting.

The problem with this mentality is, often its not themselves they're protecting but others. If Alice and Bob are communicating, and only Alice is the one under threat: Alice may be willing to go to great lengths to make her side secure, but you really need to be making it as easy as possible for Bob, who has less of a direct incentive to overcome the inconveniences.
Recommendation engines never seem to capture the dimensions/characteristics that I actually care about.

They're useful for the exploratory phase of shopping when I'm trying to broaden the search and find all my options for, say, a cheap plastic cutlery set for kids.

They're completely useless to me for suggesting media to consume, when the problem is narrowing down the near infinity of options to a manageable number. They tend to give unhelpful suggestions because they match items based on superficial qualities (genre, same supporting actor appeared in both, song is in a minor key) rather than the ones that matter to me (character development, pacing, arrangement).

yeah. They're just tracing what pages the ISP serves you. So if you encrypt and proxy your requests via something else they'll only know you're accessing some random server somewhere.

The biggest problem is the lack of a certified laptop. Librem13 was certified for R3 but as of now there is nothing certified for R4 [0]. Their stance on Intel ME is clear and good. I hope they don't give it up or water it down with commercial licensing. So theoretically if I approach them as a company and tell them I want to get Qubes on company laptops they should tell me no laptops are secure.
