We can dream but, even if it had been that way, I suspect it would have taken just one bad browser (probably IE) to ruin it for everyone. They'd advertise it as "no annoying prompts", everyone would flock to it and other browsers would have to follow.
This made the math crystal clear for me in a way I have not seen laid out before.
I never understood why it was deemed unacceptable for non-mobile sites not to redirect to a mobile version but not equally unacceptable for mobile sites not to redirect to desktop.
There is a lot of value in conforming to however the existing code base is written. Some of the worst (in terms of time/money spent maintaining) code I've seen is code that sticks out for being different, even if it's arguably faster / more modern / uses better practices. Some C++ examples because that's in my wheelhouse:

1. Entire code base is "C with classes" or OO, but That One Guy on the team insists on sprinkling functional programming constructs all over the place. Now there's a huge overhead for the rest of the team who need to switch gears every time they encounter that code.

2. That One Guy who insists on doing everything with macros in a code base that otherwise makes very light use of the preprocessor.

3. Company standardized on using the C++ constructor to initialize classes, but That One Guy writes a seperate init() method on each of his classes and leaves the constructors empty.

4. (iOS/Objective-C example) Entire code base uses old-school delegate callbacks but That One Guy needs to write all his stuff using the arguably better block style.

It could be even as silly as:

5. Entire code base uses camelCase for variables and function names, but That One Guy insists on using_underbar_style. Now every time you have to call something or pass a variable around you have that tiny bit of overhead double checking which style needs to be used.
Seconded! I just switched from Piwik to goaccess last week, mostly because goaccess is much easier to use.

Piwik certainly has more features though.
I think you're right.

Earlier this year, I read about the book Deep Work in a comment thread on HN. I bought the book and read it pretty quickly (it's an easy read) and it really resonated with me.

The author, Cal Newport wrote a piece a couple of days ago on digital minimalism that I think the author of the vox article should read:

http://calnewport.com/blog/2016/12/18/on-digital-minimalism/

My interpretation is that by compulsively refreshing Twitter (or HN), you're giving away your most valuable assets - time and attention. I'm working on spending my time more wisely and reading Deep Work is already paying off for me.
How to Know What Factors Contribute to Customer Retention Within Your App
They know that. They just hate porn. But banning porn has been found unconstitutional so many times they know it won't work. Thus they label it "anti-human trafficking" in hopes it will pass constitutional muster. Sort of like labeling creationism "intelligent design."
That is true, but it can also mean that the education system is not teaching to the real economy. There's definitely a significant place for an education which has no reference to the economy, but that is a failure if what you're supposed to be getting is a technical education, or if your aim is to increase productivity. Just because people have spent a lot of time learning something, it doesn't mean that skill or knowledge is actually in demand. Unfortunately there's a class prejudice on technical as opposed to academic education which limits everyone involved. Ideally everyone would study some balance of academic and technical, both before starting their career, and also intermittently throughout their life. For instance, a lot of academics could do with a technical methods-based education on stats, use of IT in particular areas, and so on. And a lot of people who have done academic degrees (whether in sciences of humanities) are a long way from actually being useful in a real job. A lot of people who are in careers which are over-supplied, low-paid, etc, really should be cutting their losses and training for another career. And a lot of people who are employed, even in high positions, have deficient understanding of areas which are necessary to do their job well.
While this is highly embarrassing for Krugman (even if he will never admit it!), he is far from the only person who has fallen for this: Expertise in one area does NOT make you an expert in all.

This year especially should drive that point home. It's best to only make bold statements when you are sure, and when you do so, put your money where your mouth is ("Skin in the game", as Nassim Taleb says). And most definitely do not become a paid opinion writer, or even bother taking any of their pontificating seriously.
If this is an issue, you can buy frozen vegetables (unprepared) which can be as good as fresh if the fresh stuff is not very fresh. Those last forever, and you can reseal the bag easily. Flour, rice, noodles only go bad if you get moths. Spices can lose some taste, but you can just use a little bit more.

If you pay a lot more as a single-person household, you have an excellent opportunity for improvement on your hands.
I have been working on this for some time (as part of a larger project), and published it as open-sourced a couple days ago. I'm wondering if there is any interest, and I'm hoping for some feedback (good or bad).

Thanks!
Currently using this on one of our clients sites and I love it! More tools like this I say!
That being said, the prideful worker effect is very real though. I remember when my mom told me how her nightshifts in the sausage factory as a student made her more humble - and I thought "what a waste - I'm going to step in high and then get really rich so I don't have to do this!".

Six years and three failed university degrees later, I started in night shifts myself in customer support because I had no other option and some guy from a mailing list had a heart for someone broke and desperate.

Fast forward another seven years and I'm not just CTO of a profitable company, but also pretty thankful of all my experience in customer support, if only for a good chunk of humility. It's really hard to overcome your initial feelings about such a "downgrade" in socioeconomic status for a chance on a new beginning/industry though, don't know if I would have dared that after 40.
Btw, the reason Trader Joe's is so cheap: It belongs to ALDI Nord, the sibling company of ALDI Süd, which runs the US ALDI markets.

Founded by two brothers, the ALDI chains have the concept of insanely cheap products, but no rebates, no coupons, no extra - usually saving money by just rolling the entire pallet directly into the store from the truck, having no storage space, nor having to pay anyone to unload it.

>The mindset that would even produce such an idea is incredibly dangerous.

To be fair, politicians and computer policy has always been poor and the USA just voted someone in who asked a foreign power to find his opponents emails and uses the term "the cyber" frequently. In other words, I suspect its going to get worse before it gets better.

>a Central Authority that somehow dictates what must, and what cannot....

Append "be done" and that's the very definition of government. Typically humans without government is a recipe for failure, so its not the existence of government per-se that's the issue. The larger question is why government in many countries, including the USA, are failing on such an abysmal level for what should be basic tasks like regulating computer issues. The elephant in the room here seems to be a strong anti-intellectual atmosphere and strongman politics taking root and winning elections of late worldwide. Voters are seeking this stuff out. That's the problem.

A banana or apple are MUCH cheaper then a floor, oil and sugar "with fruit" bar.

$1.87 Chicken breast or thighs and some spices and vinegar is MUCH cheaper then any pre-processed crap. Take Hamburger Helper you pay $2 for the box and $4.5 for the ground beef your at $6.50. I can cook something with rice a ton cheaper.
Depends on your requirements. If you are chasing fads or just looking to learn, then you pick the "hottest" of the JS frameworks and go with that with the understanding that a new itch will be upon you in about 9 months and you will likely feel the need to scratch it. If you want your product to last through the latest fad, then continue to do server side rendering and augment it with the JS/Client-side framework of your choice.
Any senior or lead could handle the planning and the resources.

We both agree that there is something to be done. I personally noticed that it doesn't have to be assigned to an full time manager position.

It definitely doesn't make it safe, but it does allow you to run a binary and see what it would do to your filesystem, without actually doing it; which is pretty neat!

chroot is completely different because it completely isolates a process from the rest of the filesystem. This is more like, well, a sandbox or overlay.
I came to say exactly this, though the article touched on a thing I've never understood: why is it embarrassing to take a job that pays? If I only had $30 for a week, I'd dig holes for minimum wage 10 hours a day if that's what it took to get out of a bad financial situation.

What are the best “learn by doing” online coding courses under $350?
I’m looking for quality online coding courses that focus on building some particular project (usually a clone of some famous product like twitter, pinterest, etc.). The language is not as important as the quality of a course and an actual technology stack that can be effectively applicable for freelance. Any recommendations?

While he is wrong about the impact of the internet economically. He isn't wrong that technology progress has been disappointing. When you grow up believing you will be driving flying cars and seeing robots help you around the house, how else are you supposed to feel? It is only now that computing power has started to enable old AI techniques such as neural nets, which were once impractical are now starting to be reasonable.

I am also disappointed in how closed and centralized the applications that run on the internet have become since the internet was privatized. Where we used to have decentralized systems in the 80s to late 90s, we now have huge star (wheel and spoke) networks.

The days you get your internet from the weird guy down the street running a rack of servers in his closet are long gone.

We have also re-created old medium and I seriously doubt people like Alan Kay are impressed with that. We have invented the most important tool in the history of humanity and it's being used by billions of people to look at Facebook instead of say, solving real problems like climate change. As Alan Kay said "The computer revolution hasn't happened yet".
I once had some plumbers do some minor repairs around the house. Then they gave me a whopping bill. I had no idea.

But I had watched what they did, and nothing seemed that complicated. Ever since, I just do the plumbing repairs myself for a couple bucks instead of several hundred.
Looks great. The documentation looks good as well as the feature set. I'm surprised there aren't more popular gems like this. I'm guessing because of products already in the field?
I can't even tell what this does. I just woke up but is this like capsicum on freebsd, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=raNx9L4VH2k, or jails in the FS, or both?

But pride did help Butch in Pulp Fiction. He got to win the fight, keep his pride and keep the money(or even bet the other way and make bank? can't recall now).

There is nothing embarrassing about manual work. When I was 17, at one point, I sold toilet paper, on the street, in a third world country, to get some cash for my PC. Various jobs netted me half the cash for my PC over 6 months. My parents could scrape for the rest.

Right now I'm in a comfortable seniority, renting a townhouse ( Toronto is too expensive to buy) and having a family. The c++ projects keep coming, I don't have to work with anything other than my fingers. Life is good.

Would I, if anything happens, go back to selling toilet paper or digging cannals to survive and strive? Without a doubt.

They raised me to believe there is no shame in manual work, and I still hold that true.
I don't see why you needed to post that, especially as the point is tangential to your parent post.
Is it OK? Who cares? As long as you solve the problem for your customer, it doesn't matter that much.

That said, I find server-side rendering to be more difficult when faced with the problem of creating the type of UI that people want these days. Generally I like the server to just be an API that a Javascript client talks to, because unless you want no dynamic/asynchronous features you're going to have to write that anyway. Now you're maintaining two apps, which is twice as much work. Sometimes it's necessary to do that, sometimes it's not... I always aim for only writing one UI, because it's like twice as fast as writing two. But no doubt people will reply to me saying they browse with Javascript disabled to get an extra 15 minutes of battery life out of their laptop, so there's that.

Yeah that makes sense.
There have always been people who can't find a job under those conditions. The question is why that proportion of men is higher now than it was a decade or two or three ago.

Moralizing about how they're all too lazy and prideful to get a job is itself lazy. At least take the step to identify why you think the number of the prideful lazy has increased.

Also: you said you've been in the workforce for 25 years. Have you considered that not everyone shares your particular history of entering into the workforce right before an extended boom time? That's a huge difference from people who entered in 2008, only found a paying job in 2010, and as a consequence of timing are behind people who graduated a year or two later than them.

.NET is one of the most documented platforms around.

Joking aside, I think this would sell like mulled wine at the Christmas Market in Vienna. add a smartphone app that does the same when you walk into a store or church, or go into a 'pokemon gym' (capability to react to augmented reality)
It would end up being a huge list, so I don't really see how that would help.
I wouldn't call it malice - just indifference.

A politician's job is to get reelected. Ideally, he gets reelected by doing a good job, but that's not actually necessary (and it might not even be a good idea in some circumstances). His goal is to energize a base of excited, passionate voters who will overwhelm any challenges to the incumbency. After all, most people don't vote, so if he has a reliable, excited base, he is guaranteed victory.

And you don't do that through rational thought. You do that by appealing to people who are easy to rile up with fear, hate, and prejudice. Fear and hate drives people to the polls. Educated opinion makes people shrug and stay home because they don't feel that strongly about it.

What better way to rile up fear than talking about sex trafficking and children? Raise this specter of menace over the good people of this state and demonstrate that you're going to Do Something About It. Never mind the fact that your proposed measure does absolutely nothing to prevent sex trafficking and has catastrophic side effects - the electorate couldn't give less of a fuck about that because they vote based on feels, not reals.

This isn't malice; it's just "I'll say whatever I need to say and do whatever I need to do to stay in office." It's a symptom of a societal ill, not a personal one. If this Congressman wasn't willing to do it, he would be replaced by a Congressman who would.

4 Inspiring Quotes to Fuel Any Freelancer to Success
William Finnegan: Profile of Legendary San Francisco Surfer Mark Renneker
Pasta costs $1 per pound when it is on sale and has 1600 calories per pound.

Chicken breast has about 500 calories per pound.

So it's 5x the cost per calorie of the price someone would pay if they were shopping price hard. Meat is basically off the table entirely if you are working on keeping price low.

Bananas are super cheap though.
Time/ability is a big factor when it comes to what people eat. Throwing a frozen pizza in the oven is fast, easy and requires no extra dishes. You can even just use the box it came in is a plate, so I've heard.

Being comfortable in the kitchen is important too. If you have to go looking up recipes and following them exactly that can make cooking at home a lot slower and tedious.

It's easy to point out things like dried beans and cheap root vegetables but those only really compete on the cost perspective, convenience and ease are just as important IMO.
"Two mistakes" -- that is a satirical blog post right?
I'm about 4 years into my career as a software dev, but you know what I did before that? Worked a shitty manual labor job at a warehouse with shitty 13-hour days and not a lot of pay.

I rarely got to see my friends who were more successful starting their own careers. But what I did have is money to pay my rent and free time to continue learning and honing my skills.

Yeah it really sucked working in that warehouse and it was embarrassing a little bit. I used that as motivation. Fuck pride indeed.

> requires keeping around the raw page HTML

Isn't it already in the browser's cache in that state anyway?

And if the cache is small, the preservation doesn't even have to be "for all tabs," if the last few pages can be retrieved from the cache nobody would complain that the older ones behave as they behave now -- you typically don't do "I wonder what was the source of the page from yesterday" in this old tab, but even if you do, you wouldn't be surprised that the source of yesterday does have to be requested again. So I imagine the fix as just "if in the cache, get it from there, else request."
