C wasn't a one man band project (at least a two-man-band one at the start!) and neither was JavaScript. C also didn't have a formal specification for over 20 years (only an informal one) and JavaScript had a strong selection bias for interpreters that roughly conformed to the specification. But that didn't exactly help it, JS is/was notorious for differing implementations of browser APIs.

Each of them also has a strong need for a specification, as there are many differing compilers and interpreters. There are a few for Python but are specialized, the CPython interpreter is good enough for 90% of cases.
Can someone explain what the point of silently clicking the ads is? Why not just block them? Does clicking the ads somehow aid in blocking or is it a way of fighting back against perceived abuses by advertisers?
How to Remove Back Pain Through a Memory Foam Pillow – GOALMA
It's from a vacuum cleaner robot. It can only scan 2D up to 6m. It's a toy compared to a automobile grade LIDAR that can scan 3D 360 degree with a fast scan rate.
No privacy/security/adblocking user should use Chrome; it's a browser made the company you block ads from and tracks you whether or not the ads are there. Use Firefox, Safari, open source chromium, MS Edge, or anything else, just not Chrome.
Also a Safari extension would be very nice.
It is massively annoying and a huge UX misstep. It just happened to me: I hovered over a story I was interested and could feel the muscles in my hand tensing as I was about to click when suddenly the stories refreshed and I lost the one I was interested in. It made me somewhat irrationally angry, like something was stolen from me.

If your aim is to encourage people to "step back so that other voices can be heard", please elaborate how your initial comment supports this in a meaningful and constructive way.
I want to learn 6502. Unfortunately, it's a right pain getting a 6502-based machine to run. The efficient instruction fetching means you have to be really careful about wiring and memory fetch speed. And I don't have any old 6502 systems on hand. All I've got is a Gameboy, and that's somewhere between the Z80 and the 8080. So I'll probably learn that at some point (although the GB is basically the Z80 with all the good bits stripped out).
They make "computer glasses" that are supposed to help reduce eye strain associated with computer use. I don't personally use them so I can't say if they work, but it's probably worth it for you to look into them.

I've been thinking about hiring a marketing person. I build things, I'm great at that. I can run businesses, likewise. A little extra press coverage (deserved or not) would be very valuable for me. Any recommendations on hiring for this role?

Making their tracking data useless is kind of the point of the extension. Obviously it's well within Google's interests to stop people using it. I guess if you're privacy minded it's probably best not to use a browser made by a giant ad company.
Nothing about that pattern says you need to replace everything... After all, not all vines completely replace the host.

There can be legacy system that can just be maintained without modifying. Like for example JavaScript engine.
Few month ago we developed and launched an AI-based AdBlocker (called AdFilter) and also had several problems with Google Chrome Web Store. Almost every week they had a "strange reason" to remove our extension from the Google Chrome Web Store.

We had more than 380,000 DAU (Daily Active Users) from 36 countries with all good feedbacks on Google Chrome Web Store, but even so, Google always tried to find a way to get us delisted and sometimes removed... they called it "an automated review process that is not performed by humans".

Every time this happened we need to send several messages to all available email address to get our extension approved and listed again in 24-48 hours. After facing this kind of situation more than 12 times, we simply gave up and remembered that it's not worth trying to build a business (or App) on top 3rd party company, like Google or FB.
This is why i don't use Chrome. Enough of my life is in google's hands. I believe they are already too big.

I wish for a more open smartphone ecosystem and better tools for privacy.
I've been doing Hog Bay Software mostly as (just me) since 2004. Tried expanding with 3 others around 2010-2013, but I'm a developer, not manager. Also the whole app marking seemed to be having troubles. Back to just me again last few years. Main focus and income right now is:

- https://www.taskpaper.com

The business is building Mac productivity apps for individual users... i.e. not focused on selling to businesses. I started because this is the kind of software that's always interested me. Tools to help you think and work better. I started part time for a few years while I had another job, then moved to Maine (where living is cheep) in 2004.
It depends in some cases you can't be unpredictable to your competition without being unpredictable to everyone else. In other cases you can. Strategy is about knowing when you can and can't be unpredictable. It's fine to be unpredictable to make your competition think that you want a company when you don't, so they waste a bunch more money than they should in acquiring it. Not so with your next product.
Oh yeah, we here in computer land are soooo sophiscated, even our scare arguments aren't 'think of the children but are 'think of grandma' instead.

> I'd love to contribute, but I don't want to wade through a reddit-comment-thread-level of forced references and memes to do that.

I'm going to have call you out on this. You have no wishes to contribute. Because asking this question reveals you haven't even bothered to look at the repositories, join IRC channels, or subscribe to the mailing lists.

You're here to complain and you're using hypothetical constructive motivations to masquerade that fact. State your opinion without the fussy lie, there was really nothing wrong with it.
The terminal itself is poor, but PS the language is so much more sane and ergonomic than bash. Doing text-in-text-out where the sed/awk/split/sort relies on every program in the chain (perhaps a git log, or an ls or whatever) to spit out its text in exactly the same way it always has just feels like a terrible idea.

Example: count the number of files of each extension in the current direcory and list the results alphabetically by extension (I honestly didn't pick this as a way to show of PS strength and I realize that you can always pick a benchmark that shows what you want - but I wanted something small and understandable).

PS:

ls | group Extension | sort Name | select Count, Name

bash:

ls | awk -F . '{print $NF}' | sort | uniq -c | awk '{print $2,$1}'

These lines accomplish the same thing, with about the same amount of typing required. You can argue that objects are brittle too,
or that text is a universal format whereas objects are not. But you can't tell me the bash line looks better, or that for everyday tasks PS is always a verbose mess.
Also: just typing the bash line on my keyboard includes hitting Ctrl+Alt/AltGr eleven times!

Being able to describe things with a syntax that looks almost like pseudocode and runs highly-optimized C/Fortran code to do heavy lifting has huge, huge advantages.
From my understanding, the recruiter has the option of outright rejecting you after your interview without passing it on to the hiring committee. Generally if your feedback is even vaguely positive, they'll pass it on though, so if you get rejected by the recruiter, it's usually pretty cut and dry.

This may vary depending on the office involved.
Who uses Chrome anyway?

Question: I'm not a web dev, Ive never heard of this. I currently use adblock plus and privacy badger. Does this do what they do? Would it be a good idea to install them all? If not which solution do you think is the most hardcore in terms of privacy. thanks!
i run a small tech company, though not an ISP.

i hear this question a lot. "how do you compete with xyz megacorp?"

delivering a better/faster product for less money, is the easy part. nearly everything is overpriced from megacorps. believe me, it's easy. even the accounting is harder.

the hard part is selling it. people will complain all day about megacorp sucking, but when it comes right down to it, they won't go with the little guy 99% of the time even when the benefits are staring them right in the face.

unless of course, you happen to offer a service in an area the big guys simply don't exist in, which is awesome and good for OP for spotting the opportunity.
This should be something that will improve over time with machine learning and can already be done right now.
I feel like this is very actively being addressed, for example by visualization of intermediate features.
The water issue is independent of whether the farm is vertical or not. There are plenty of hydroponic farms that are in a traditional horizontal orientation, I presume aeroponics can be setup this way as well. So, I do think the smaller area is the main advantage, though I'm not convinced it is a compelling enough reason given the increased energy, land and capital costs.

I agree that water should be treated as more valuable and scarce than it currently is. You mentioned the Middle East, I saw this concept for a "seawater greenhouse" recently in Qatar and was intrigued

http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2013/11/desert-farming-experi...

In the US, I'm curious about the scalability of these water saving technologies. Could they replace a significant percentage of vegetable production of drought stricken California? As I understand it now, hydroponics is used primarily for winter production, even that competes with Colorado River dependent Arizona.

I'd happily take this trade-off: work less (in a professional, salaried position) and get paid proportionally less. I'd love to work a 24 or 32 hour work week at 20-40% less salary. I value my time more than I value money.

6 Benefits You Get When You Date a Plus Size Women

For comparison, the entire Apollo program costed $110B in today's money [1]. In addition to other things, this budget covered the construction of 15 Saturn V rockets and 3 additional ground test vehicles of the same size, plus 3 Saturn IB rockets, plus 35 Command Modules and 15 Lunar Modules.

Even if we just considered the 13 Saturn V rockets that were actually flown, it comes down to 110 / 13 = $8.4B per launch... Slightly less than the projected $9B construction cost for each nuclear submarine, which will presumably incur additional operational costs.

And they called the Apollo program a waste of money...

They are trying to bring down the price of ads on the internet, thus making them unprofitable. I hope they succeed.

Yeah, but the point is that he's conjecturing and doesn't provide any source. If anything, I'd imagine Tom Dale believes that Ember is better than React in some, if not all, ways given that he's... one of the co-founders.

fiatjaf is literally saying[0]:

> React cane out after Ember, and conquered the hearts of many many JS developers. Why couldn't Tom Dale be one of them?

And it's fine to wonder that, but he states it in the original comment as if it's a definite thing without providing a source.

How do you pick the products to sell? Can you share the store you're working on?
It's impossible to block all ads and trackers, especially now that so many people load vital resources from CDNs controlled by the tracking companies. With something like AdNauseam you add noise to your actual browsing so that it makes the data about you less valuable. If everyone were to use it suddenly no one would pay for the data and since it's no longer profitable it would stop. At least, I assume that's the theory.
Can you share the store URL? Please check my profile.

I wonder, how do you deal with customs issues? I've had issues in the past while shipping outside EU and customers always expected me to solve the issues for them
That's a very non-inclusive way of thinking, and it is hard to imagine that it benefits the community as a whole. What if you substituted developers, in this situation, for doctors?
I'm 37 and I find that I'm smarter and wiser now than I was in my 20s which makes learning much easier even if my brain is almost double the age.
If I had to pick between relative anonymity and ads, I would pick anonymity every time.

I'd love for the internet to go full São Paulo. Don't care what services I have to lose or pay for in the process either.
Consider using Ublock Origin, lightweight, more honest and well behaving adblocker.
I've been working remotely for 2 years now and my team has people from all over the world. People mostly talk on IRC but not a lot (about important stuff) and there is a HUGE number of periodic meetings. I can't stand them. What's worse, every time things start to appear to be going off track, the initial reaction is to always set up a new periodic meeting about topic X... this is supposed to bring people together but useful interaction never happens on meetings (too many people trying to save face). It's horrible.

When talking to external partners, our management brags about having a remote team with people from all over the world, but I don't think they understand how to make this work.

Sometimes I feel we should all be in a single office because of this, but then I remember other companies have figured this out so I don't have to feel bad about wanting to work remotely.
Man, that is so cool and the name is specially awesome!

I've been thinking of launching a bot service too, but focused on order deliveries through FB messenger.

Do you still think the chat bots market is a good niche to explore?

True, that is a step in the right direction. Ideally that would work for any resource - fonts, images, etc.
I don't know if it is whataboutism. If the rich lawyer complains, is it whataboutism to point out worse suffering? It seems to me that Warren Buffett could refuse to do philanthropy on the grounds that he has much less money than Gates and any argument against his position could be said to be whataboutism if you are right on this.

My understanding of whataboutism is that it must be an attempt to deflect from some problem that the user doesn't want to address. Like if one is a racist and say 'oh but what about children in country X'. And even then, there are ways to interpret what I just wrote unfavorably due to the plethora of possible definitions of the * isms (is it subtle bias or is it fear/hate of, or etc.).

Anyway, the point I would make is that I think your argument about what to prioritize is shaped around the conclusion you want to reach. Consider this: why should I prioritize my fellow countrymen/westerners of another race over my fellow human beings from another country?

Because they are closer or more akin to me? If so, why not care about people even closer to me: my family and my 'tribe'?

What I'm describing is what is generally seen as conservatism and I expect that it is even seen as either actual bigotry/racism/etc or at least related to it, yet your argument for the 'opposite side' is very similar. Or, if you prefer, what might be said to be racist about an argument against caring for other races could be said to be xenophobic about yours, in a way (I'm not trying to insult you, but rather trying to point out a case of repugnant conclusion).

But anyway, the whole topic is vast and I realize that I've contradicted my own recommendation of emphasizing solutions, so here is my attempt at that: it could be that there are ways to improve race relations that are either the most effective ways to improve the world or that also happen to benefit everyone's ingroup and if those exist then I encourage people to focus on sharing those.

As for more contentious solutions, I have no idea yet. I have seen too many life skill assessment surveys and such to believe that pure 'system 2' solutions (to use Kanehman's nomenclature) will ever work: most people are what Kahneman would call 'lazy thinkers' and I'm fairly convinced that the *isms are merely consequences of such cognitive biases. Short of genetic engineering or separating groups into nations based on their group identity, I don't know what could work.
> And yet every time Hollywood adapts a Japanese property they seem to be unable to find any Asian actors in California to portray any Major roles.

Hollywood wants major established Hollywood names that are perceived as major draws in and of themselves in major roles on any major projects. Insofar as the output of that process has apparent racial bias (and it does, significantly) it's largely an effect of the fact that the process by which one becomes an established Hollywood name with big perceived drawing power involves many, many sources of bias.
Well done! It looks amazing !
There isn't a "hub" per se, but it is a rather strong community. Most affiliates operate through the larger affiliate networks as a central location of advertisers, publishers, and tracking.

In most affiliate marketing programs the advertiser doesn't report the conversions - tracking and payment is handled by the affiliate network as an intermediary, which has it's own pros and cons. But they will fight for affiliates when commissions are due.

DM me if you'd like to talk more about that, I work in the industry.
I think you're right, uBlock Origin is working fine for me on Chrome at the moment.
Actually, many of these discussions also look into microaggressions. Consider when a half-Brazilian woman earned miss Japan. There was discussion on what mucroaggressions she faced in the media and in her childhood such as pointing out how she may not he truly Japanese due to her ancestry and implications that she doesn't deserve awards. Facebook in a way of managing who is discerned to have a real name and excluding people from different cultures because the way they identify themselves are unacceptable is part of a larger problem in when identities are questioned purely for not fitting into the majority or "white" ideal of what is considered an acceptable identity, and demanding those who have unacceptable identities to change to fit the "white" ideal in order to participate in a significant social media platform.
Hey s3stat looks AWESOME! I'm working on a product that's built on the back of S3 as well (https://shubox.io) so this might come in super handy for me and my customers. Do you have an affiliate program my any chance?
