> I decided to go one step further with my personal site and eliminate all JS completely.

I'm close to that point. I just use it for loading a font and rendering gallery pages.

From my site's colophon:

> The website uses the flexbox grid from Foundation, and Mark Simonson's Proxima Nova font from Adobe Typekit. The only JavaScript on the website is used

> 1. to load the font from Adobe Typekit and

> 2. to render the gallery pages in the photography section

> All other pages should be JavaScript-free. In addition there is no user tracking - aside from that performed by Adobe Typekit - and all assets (once again... aside from the font from Adobe Typekit) are served directly by my server(s), no CDN involved.

Once I find a suitable replacement for Proxima Nova, Adobe Typekit will go away as well. I'd like to remove it from the gallery pages as well, but I just couldn't get flexbox working properly for responsive galleries of images of different resolutions.

Nobody's arguing that geeks shouldn't be geeks. What they're arguing is that collections of geeks shouldn't be allowed to organize their workplaces to only accept geeks, or to prefer geek culture over other cultures.

And, in fact, no true geek has any trouble understanding why this is important. There are so many branches of geekdom that there is (or was) an elaborate geek code that broadcast ones affiliations. There are Star Trek geeks, and there are vampire LARP geeks. The Star Trek geeks are generally not OK with the idea of a clique of vampire LARP geeks refusing to hire anyone who doesn't look like they enjoy Bauhaus.

It's a common trope --- not among geeks, but among chauvinists of varying stripes --- that efforts to reduce discrimination are really thinly veiled attempts to persecute geeks. Don't fall for that. These really are the droids you're looking for.

Perhaps because it was costing them money and making their tracking data less valuable. Perhaps if AdNauseam stopped the clicking portion the ban would be lifted.
>Not really; it's structurally nothing like assembly, which is as close as you can get to the hardware without just handcoding machine code.

Here, assembly is touching the hardware. If you write your code in assembly, it's not portable to other architectures, even hypothetically.

>provides very little in terms of safety features that get in the way of direct hardware manipulation

Exactly. So it's a heck of a lot closer to the hardware than most 3GLs.

Because there is a massive difference between sharing revenues / idea and making a business profitable off a clone.

You could copy a lot of ideas out there right now, but that is the smallest part (in my mind) in making a business out of it. The coding and 'making' of the product, is actually the smallest part.

Getting any consistent revenue, marketing, growing your user base, reducing churn - those are all much harder than actually building or copying something.

There are _many_ ideas on github right now with real working code & permissible licenses you could just grab and try to make a business with. So why aren't there profitable, sustainable businesses popping up all over because of this? (Hint: coding is not the hard part, idea is not the hard part)
> getattr/setattr, or dynamically building classes with type()

I think Grumpy handles both those things fine.
He explains why on his site: ( http://taichi.graphics/misc/ ) and in another comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13327362 )

Then why “太極” instead of “太极”?

“太極” is a word from not only traditional Chinese, but also modern Japanese. Considering the fact that a significant part of Taichi (10+ papers and the general software framework) was done during my internship at The University of Tokyo hosted by Prof. Seiichi Koshizuka and Prof. Toshiya Hachisuka, I thereby chose this word in the intersection of two languages in memory of my time at UTokyo.
Yeah, those of us who got axed, many of us who also have mortgages and families, are just assholes with a political axe to grind that is disagreeable to your Ayn Rand worship or whatever.

The point I was making about Trump is this huge fucking black swan just landed, and everybody with money is snapping their wallets shut, and the rest of us can just go fuck ourselves and drop dead.

Just watch, many of you are next.

An unintended side effect of the GIL is that all calls to a C implemented function are atomic and single threaded, provided that the C function doesn't release the GIL. In practice this means lists and dicts are thread safe and existing Python code relies on this.

Everyone has their own definition of important. I would like to think that after writing software for 30 years I have a decent knowledge of what my customers value.

I would like to move to a new mail provider, but to be honest: That "enterprise/professional" support is pretty much a joke:

If you want to use a custom domain because you not only have an own domain, but want to add let's say 5 co-workers to use their service, you have to share ONE (!) Login with all co-workers, because you can not create sub-accounts nor share one custom domain over several accounts.

It's not a noun. I don't understand the logic you are implying.
I don't know--GP post has a valid point of view even if people disagree. I also feel it takes a bit of nerve to think that you should be financially compensated for writing your personal blog, no matter how big your audience is or how much time or effort you devote to it. Just because you CAN monetize something doesn't mean you should.
In some ways. But, as I discussed (dragonwriter brought it up) in a cousin comment, C still does direct hardware access better than most other 3GLs. And that matters sometimes.

Wow, 'Do no evil' huh?
I'm always preaching the holy word of flux to everyone I meet. Even family members who don't code :-)
Traditional mass media (tv, radio, newspapers) have always exerted their power to influence and even create public opinion to further an agenda. The agenda depends on the particular media but the news are never completely objective, always either subtly or blatantly biased in favour of some particular opinion, political wing or thought stream. So, the same piece of news can be interpreted with a completely opposite meaning depending on where you consume it.

Now, with the proliferation of alternative media, not only media corporations have the ability to create and manipulate public opinion with their skewed view of reality, there are many other sources of information. Even individuals, regular people, can start a blog or write news or articles and distribute them for free or at a very low cost. That also means that organized groups and societies, political, economical, enterpreneurial, religious or otherwise can also create their own sources of news to advance their own agendas. Even traditional media corporations, which have immense resources compared to an individual, can easily create multiple blogs or sources of news, masquerading or not as an individual.

That means that traditionally all news were biased and skewed towards some agenda, but we knew more or less the bias of the media corporations, so we could identify that bias in the news we consumed. But now in certain situations it's almost impossible to identify the actors behind an individual or seemingly individual who writes an article, or form any other source of news, which means it is even more difficult to identify the bias of the news.

And that is only in relation to manipulation adding a bias to real news... But of course there can also be other fake news. The thing with fake news is that some people share or forward them without verifying them so they can spread virally before they are debunked, and the perception of the image of someone or some organization can be permanently damaged even after the fake news have been debunked... But in the end they will be debunked.

Which leds me to think that fake news can be both a political (economical, etc) weapon to attack someone's enemies using black tactics... but at the same time they can also be created to inspire "fear" that if you consume news from alternative channels other than the traditional mass media you can consume fake news, in an effort to try to redirect people back to traditional mass media as a "reliable" source of news (which we already know it's manipulative, biased and follows an agenda).
It is still an adjective in this context. English becomes more and more copula-dropping – i.e. leaving out the verb "to be" when it can be implied by context. If you add it back you can see how it's an adjective:

The opposite of (being) unpredictable is (to be) strategic.
Your English is very understandable! I only mentioned it because potential users will often just assume that a few small errors on your marketing site mean that your app isn't worth trying.

"Start legal action" may not be possible at all. If it is possible, there's a range of possibilities in between "lawsuit" and "do nothing." If the company has hard-to-argue with legal duty to pay you then a letter from a lawyer might suffice.

Step 1: talk to startup, say "this is not cool" and see if you can get them to cough up some money.

Step 2: If that doesn't work find a labor lawyer and just asking them what they think. They'll probably be able to say "don't bother" or "I can write a letter for $X, but it probably won't work" etc. without you having to pay upfront.

In parallel: assume it's a loss and find some work.

How much of it is age, and how much of it is having kids along with an established routine?

I find it pretty easy to learn things, just not when I'm interrupted by the kids. There's no reason why at 36 I can't listen to lectures about philosophy or read a bit about some new tech. What's hard is getting focused time to do a proper project, because my time outside of work hours is taken up by parenting.
why is it artificial? Credentials are everywhere. You need credentials to be an account, a physician, a teacher, a lawyer, a dentist, a chiropractor, a (insert various iteration of crazy welding techniques) welder, a steel fabricator (AISC), a child services worker, heavy machinery operator, if you are an engineer and want to work for the public, you have to get licensed, and the list can go on and on. And I am really, really thankful that the above jobs require credentials.
Very nice! Couple of questions if you could answer please. How do you host your site? How do you compare the similar products and aggregate them within your database? Unique identifies etc.
Unpredictability can confuse your competition and you can gain some advantage on that. But it can also confuse you own internal resources and make some real damage.
It is not pollution

PM2.5 particles from vehicle emissions are small enough to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and have been shown to end up in brain tissue.

Even if it isn't a direct cause of dementia, air pollution contributes to cardiovascular diseases which are themselves risk factors for dementia.

That has two problems:

1) A lot of flight tests can't be done without a large fraction of passengers on the plane.

2) It may make getting to the final end state faster (though maybe not), but it means you don't get any benefits until you make the switch. Doing things incrementally means you start seeing benefits much earlier. Classic throughput/latency tradeoff.
I guess by that definition, literally all legal processes in US civil court are "thinly veiled threats".

Which might be a fair perspective, but I think OP should point that perspective out ahead of time in the future. Maybe by instead writing something like this: "Like every engagement with the legal system, this sounds like a thinly veiled threat..."

Being explicit makes clear that one thinks that it isn't anything specific to the case that makes it a threat - it's just the fact that the legal system has been invoked.

That's what the "integrity" field is for. If the CDN tries to change the file surreptitiously, it'll have a different checksum and the browser won't run it.

There are now a number of typed languages that have solid compile-to-js support. I've done it with OCaml (js_of_ocaml, Bucklescript), F# (Fable), and Elm. For dynamic languages, there's also Clojurescript, which is quite nice.

Why Enterprises Should Do DevOps Now
Interesting article.

Not sure I totally find this persuasive: The author tries his damnedest to draw a distinction between "unpredictability" and "secrecy", but it ends up being pretty murky.

For example:

> Keeping secrets can protect competitive advantage. Imag­ine the D-Day invasion of Normandy if the Allies had announced dates and locations.

> But secrecy is not the same thing as unpredictability... Unpredictability bluffs, postures, and palters to gain advantage through uncertainty and misdirection.

Wasn't a big part of the D-day strategy to feed misinformation to the Germans? Weren't the beaches at Normandy significantly depleted on the German side because the Germans thought the allied invasion was happening somewhere else (Italy? I don't recall offhand).

His other points are similarly iffy:

> The leader — the strategist... They propose a race rather than a duel.

Isn't proposing a different contest a fairly unpredictable move? Secrecy and unpredictability seem more-or-less synonymous when viewed through the lens of your competitor.

It seems like by "unpredictable" he means "making moves that seem to provide no net benefit," not actually "unpredictable."
> Is this the tone of the whole project?

Absolutely not.
Awesome idea/execution.

One issue with HN that I constantly run into is that I might miss an interesting article because each submission (30 on each page) look so similar. Your approach (where at most 4 articles appear within my browser at once) allows me to take more time to consider whether I should read each article.

Well done!!

I prefer Flattr's model to Patreon, as it lets me spread donations around without much commitment, e.g. when googling for error messages and finding helpful blog posts. A Flattr<->Patreon bridge might be a nice idea, so creators using one can receive donations from the other.

Unfortunately Flattr's mechanisms for transfering money were overly complicated when I used to use it: to keep down third-party transfer fees, each Flattr account maintained its own balance, and could be manually topped up or withdrawn from in bulk using a relatively obscure payment gateway.

This obscurity and manual intervention discouraged topping up, and made it very easy to forget. I also seem to remember those receiving Flattrs being unable to withdraw anything until they reached a certain minimum balance, which was difficult to achieve for a relatively unknown network of micropayments.

I'd probably start using it again, if I could forget about my "Flattr balance" and just have it automatically top-up by $X from my bank account via some common gateway, whenever there's not enough to cover the end-of-month payment; I could then manage it in the same way as my existing charity donations.

EDIT: The above was based on my experience in Flattr's first few years of existence. I've just logged in and there now seem to be many more payment methods, and an auto-topup option :)

Android isn't Linux in any sense that is meaningful to users because you are locked into a Google-ized JVM that only sees the world through Google APIs.
Google wants to run Android apps (rather than Linux apps) because they control that platform as their own walled garden. For example, a huge number of Android apps depend on Google Play Services and other Google-specific dependencies. It appears that Google never insisted on everything running in the browser, just that everything runs in their walled garden, and Android is also a part of that.
This is a great story. I - for one - hope that this technology and method of growing (provided it stays nice and healthy) succeeds. As a side benefit, if other competitors rise up and begin populating old, large metros (that were titans of jobs and industries decades ago), like Detroit, etc...well, that's another great benefit! Imagine all the jobs created, and not for getting more people to click things on the web. Also, I hear all the time that we need more farmers (to keep up with increased need for food growth), and yet others stating that we need more technologists/engineers (to solve some vexing human problems)...This farming technology appears to be a confluence of a need for a merged type of worker: the techno-farmer! Crazy, eh? But, I think, very cool.
Is it a reference? If it is I did not get it, but I also did not miss it at all because I felt that it was quite clearly established as a shorthand for "improvements in the state of the art of writing software in general and specifically browsers, accumulated over the past two decades, which I don't want to describe here in detail, trust me that they exist or not, your choice" on first use. That shorthand was a considerable reading speedup for me, reference or not (if it is a reference, depending on what it references it might make reading slower for those who do get it - maybe I was just lucky?).
