Yes it's not as accessible as other langs with loads of books, but on the plus side it's coherent, unlike c++.
I like how you picked an example that is explicitly not TCO-able.

In any case, this particular problem is no longer an issue as of Python 3.6, as that now collapses repeated stacktrace lines (see https://bugs.python.org/issue26823). Although this doesn't work for mutual tail calls, it does solve the debug noise issue in the most common case.
Re: rechargeable battery. Just get some Eneloops and call it a day. They are seriously the best things ever, I go through batteries like a crazy man when shooting photos.
No, it is a rule change. It's turning a sentence fragment into a sentence.
I love me some jQuery. While I don't ALWAYS reach for it in a project - I usually do. It can add nice behavior to webpages with just a sprinkling of JS, and not a lot of boilerplate, and not having to worry about browser edge cases.

For the two dozen or so various medium/large sites i've worked on; Jquery, underscore and d3 give me everything I want and then some.

But it's certainly not the "cool" kid anymore. It's an important fundamental that you can use to do a lot with - but sites with more heavy use of JS will probably gravitate towards a more structured framework like angular
That is the norm in china. In fact, renovated homes cost less than unrenovated ones because no one trusts anyone else's renovation (lots of cheap toxic crap), so it is understood that new owners would re renovate anyways. Basically, everyone just wants a concrete box. Renovations are quite cheap and quick however with the appropriate migrant worker (though see above, you have to be careful they don't use cheap toxic crap).
You need to review your Constitutional history. The Constitution mandates that the president is elected by the states, via electors who are selected in each state "in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct." It's not a direct popular vote and never has been.
Public appeal to backup Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory's FTP repo
Well there's this meta study of about 12000 papers on the subject http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/8/2/0240... which finds that roughly 97% of the published literature support that conclusion.
Have you tried Realm? It works both with native apps and React Native, and is awesome for making apps that works seamlessly offline.
I think a much more relevant (but ultimately completely unmeasurable) metric is the number of websites currently rolling out (i.e. "upgrading to" or building afresh on) jQuery. The vast majority of sites in any statistic like the above are always going to be older no-longer-very-actively-being-updated-beyond-maybe-some-security-patches frontends.

An interesting indicative stat would be number of installs of the very latest jQuery versions.
>What's a good outcome is subjective. For the slave, it cannot be better to be enslaved.

The premise was if it were better for all involved. I've already said I don't think that's possible, and it sounds like you agree.

>You're even willing to enslave others given the right circumstances.

The right circumstances being that it's better for all involved yes. I would consider it immoral to deny people an option that makes them better off.

>The countries that have increasingly adopted social democracy have seen wage growth stagnate.

I think this has also corresponded with an increase in wealth inequality, largely as a result of increased importance of capital in wealth creation in those countries.

But I'm less confident here. Maybe you're right that lower taxes are better for the economy. My main point (although less so in this particular thread) is that arguments for property rights should be based on their positive outcomes for society, not a system of morals that denies economic criticism.

"Tax is theft" is an unassailable moral position.

"Countries with lower taxes do better" is an actual argument.
You are correct, I've updated my comment.

> even the "median" ones are far better at diagnosing things than lay people

We aren't comparing doctors to "lay people" - we're comparing them to machine learning algorithms. I'd prefer the machine to many of the arrogant, but mediocre, doctors I've seen in my life.
If i had to build an app in a week and my life was on the line, i would use Jquery and ignore any other javascript frameworks.
Actually, no it's not. The electoral college was setup in 1787. What it has to do with politics two centuries later in the age of the internet seems out of date. Yet it's the rules we live by, not the rules we like.

Since 2000, it's clear that voter majorities have been underrepresented in presidential elections. And as we claim to be the world's largest democracy, we have been, in fact, the world's largest republic.
I would add that the disruptive innovation also cannibalizes your existing market business in addition to being something that customers do not want now but will want in the future. If you build something that customers do not want now but will want in the future and it does NOT impact your existing business, that's also just regular old innovation.
I don't see anything wrong with the sentence besides maybe the use of "front" that you pointed out. I got it easily the first time reading it and I'm certain it would be just as clear to me spoken as long as I was paying attention.
But the rule is to avoid jargon if there's a better everyday equivalent, not to avoid jargon at all costs. There's no contradiction.

Trello is not a pain for me to use. It would be for others, with different needs, but it's perfect for me.

> Until you need to do X, and we need to track Y, and Z needs to sign off before ...

For many people these don't necessarily get in the way. I've been using trello for a few years on some projects from start to launch, and a winding down of development. It doesn't get in my way, and the lack of features hasn't caused problems.

Sure, we could have gone with Jira just in case things got massively more complicated, but we were easily able to deal with the odd edge case by talking to each other, assigning cards or putting notes on them.
Ask them about a project they did. Let them talk. Ask questions about minor details that seem interesting and (hopefully) relevant to the position you're trying to fill especially when part of their explanation is hand-wavy ("yeah, we used Kerberos because that seemed like the right thing to do." "Why?" "I tried other things. They didn't work." "Why?" etc.)

Ask a bit of trivia about the stack you're hiring for. They don't need to know the right answer, but their reasoning about it should corroborate with their experience.
I am more interested in a single paper which really proves either point, or at least presents compelling evidence. Im sure there are a bunch out there, so id like to read some of them.
What Is Doxxing Called on Sino-Weibo?
I've moved away from jQuery for most everything, because I was really only using it for selectors, and various other things that can be done in vanilla browser JS. However if you want to play with UI frameworks like Bootstrap and Semantic UI, you're going to be using it, and that's not a bad thing. Time and place for any library. Out of fashion, doesn't mean out of relevance.
I know...

Tests are usually done for a clinical purpose, not just to find out what your result is. What do the numbers mean to you?

Many straightforward tests people can do and interpret themselves, like people with diabetes on insulin (measuring BSL). They're not all so straightforward.
The authors advice -

>Make something the mainstream market doesn’t want now, but will want later.

seems rather different from the thinking of the Trello team when they actually made Trello, as described by Joel Splosky:

>After ten years in management I still never knew what anyone was supposed to be working on. Once in a while I would walk around asking everyone what they were doing, and half the time, my reaction was “why the hell are you working on THAT?” So one of the teams started working on finding better ways to keep track of who was working on what. It had to be super simple and friction-free so that everyone would use it, but it had to be powerful, too.

>...led us to the idea that became Trello. Pretty soon we had four programmers and two summer interns working on it. We started dogfooding the product when it was only 700 lines of code, and even in that super-simple form, we found it incredibly useful.

So basically they built it to scratch their own itch, not as some disruptive masterplan.

Why not just build an apartment block? Do you really need the flexibility of being able to move units out?
In the US, cash transactions over a certain limit get reported to the government. Even if you manage to hoard a bunch of cash, it's surprisingly hard to spend without drawing attention to yourself.
Except the manipulation is mostly in the other direction. For example, data sets from NASA suddenly changed on year showing increased in temperatures where previously there had been none. The current administration would argue that they're unpoliticizing science. If you're going to manipulate the data to help your side you can't complain when the other side does it. Unfortunately, the chance to have an honest discussion about the climate was destroyed by those climate zealots "hiding the decline".
Wow this is getting ugly. What are some actionable things we can do as US citizens to actually have some kind of an impact on this situation? Not just specifically environment, but in general.

"Its product had less features. It was simple. And it was fucking cheap. It was disruptive!"

I feel this is the wrong way to describe Trello's success. i can build an app with a blank white space and charge $0 for it - that has less features and is very simple but it aint gonna sell for a million dollars.

With the electoral college al you have to do is appeal to the mob in the swing states. Then you give that select group of voting Americans the ability to suppress the rest of the population.

Offer to be available in the evenings and weekends for a period of a month, BUT with a retainer for that month and an hourly billing. Preface all this by saying you'd love to help out and you it's just that you couldn't pass up the other opportunity.

Source: have seen very similar situations and I've been a manager in one.
> Guess how many side effects have been widely known since the 1970's?

Does this make it fine not to expect a doctor to inspect the list of known side effects for drugs his patients are taking?

I've heard this very story a few times already, perhaps the sources of data widely accepted by doctors are not up to par with what non-doctors consider as accurate, in some cases anyway.
> What I learned from that is the fact that work never ever ends.

Exactly this. In general, it is totally fine to have short bursts of overtime but longer periods clearly point to management fail. Either chaos or greed rule in that company and the best thing to do is to get out ASAP.
Micro-/macroeconomics and computer science (queueing theory) could cover most of the key items ... but people would need to understand the connections / generalizations / limitations. Perhaps MBAs make it obvious with case studies and in-class debates.

That's almost exactly how we (optionally, of course) import your SSH key from Github at Userify.. (well, technically we're using Python requests, not curl, but otherwise exactly the same).

The beauty of doing it this way (writing authorized_keys) is that the accounts are completely independent from a third-party auth service. (ok, I guess technically that's what we are, but we're only managing the public keys, and not directly authenticating through a remote server like a directory or database.) SSH has a beautiful design.
The thing to note is that just because a large number of sites are still using it, doesn't mean that it is relevant. There are probably tens of thousands of stale sites that don't get regular updates using jQuery, since it's been the "standard" for so long. That will inflate the usage numbers, and competing solutions (Angular, React, Vue, etc.) don't have 5 years worth of free growth under their belts to equalize that inflation. A truer metric of "relevance" would be "How many new sites are showing up with each technology?"
An official at EPA who worked under Obama isn't buying into this hysteria.

> Longtime employees at three of the agencies — including some career environmental regulators who conceded that they remained worried about what President Trump might do on policy matters — said such orders were not much different from those delivered by the Obama administration as it shifted policies from the departing White House of George W. Bush. They called reactions to the agency memos overblown.

> “I’ve lived through many transitions, and I don’t think this is a story,” said a senior E.P.A. career official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the news media on the matter. “I don’t think it’s fair to call it a gag order. This is standard practice. And the move with regard to the grants, when a new administration comes in, you run things by them before you update the website.”

Yes, you can just appeal to a smaller mob which has the same political influence as larger mobs.
I think it was the same story for Fogbugz.

The cars in my neighborhood were festooned with Clinton bumper stickers. If I'd put a Trump sticker on my car and it was only keyed I'd consider myself lucky. Trump supporters may not have been dissidents in relation to the government, but in many places you have to worry about the mob.
True but look at the Bitcoin exchanges in the UK for example. You can hop between 12 banks and each one will close your account until none are left.

Doesn't bode well for the stability of the business.

We need a payment system which isn't Visa/Mastercard and preferably not US based.

Honestly, China Union Pay might just say yes to the business that those decline. If only they break into the international markets better...
I am well aware of how it is. I just think it ought to be different.
I think react makes a good case for the `kidnapped by Jeff Bezos to work on applications` situation. I find the simple way that you can just render things and not have to worry about DOM manipulation to be very freeing.

Linkerd Joins the Cloud Native Computing Foundation
I agree with this so much, but at the same time I acknowledge that his is at least in part due to how quickly the FE landscape changes and my inability to keep 100% up to date and equally effective.

Fixing the problem is almost entirely about regulatory / legal issues.
Why don't the doctors just tell him that they need more time to address his concerns properly, rather than dismissing his concerns?
> We have single player in Canada and it's even worse.

Do you have any experience with the US medical system? I lived in Alberta for 7 years and in Quebec for 3 (important to note because it is hard to take you seriously since you did not even mention that healthcare is provincially administered in Canada).

> I have to book one appt to get referred for a blood test, another to take the blood, and then another appt to get the results!

Here is an alternative explanation to "doctors are incompetent scammers": you need a referral for a specialist so that specialists are not overwhelmed with requests from hypochondriacs who read something on the Internet. Once the test results come back the doctor wants to see you to explain the results and recommend further treatment. That saves everyone time and money and is the opposite of "scam[ming] the system for more cash."

The "one health issue per appointment" is not a government policy, it is a policy that some physicians have so that they can see more patients each day.
I would also use Typescript as well, because, type safety is super helpful when it comes to debugging. Unless you never programmed in a static typed language like C# or Java before, there's not really any good reasons for avoiding it imho.

I guess that's why I left that comment: solutions exist, the problems are more about political will.
Will jQuery ever not be relevant? It's still the easiest way to accomplish most basic tasks, and 90% of the websites out there make use of it in some fashion or another. There are now a plethora of frameworks for building front end web apps, but for basic scripting I don't see anything replacing jQuery anytime soon.
I remember this story and the only (personal preference) issue I can take with it were the comma placements. Yikes. Shatner anyone?
As a non-American, I have to ask why the large, liberal states don't embrace States' Rights? I know that historically, "States' Rights" has been a codeword for racism, but times change.

Why don't liberal states push for a smaller federal government, and more power for their own governments? Mitt Romney introduced a law to that became a blueprint for Obamacare, when he was governor of Massachusetts..if Trump were to abolish Obamacare, why couldn't states introduce their own programs? Similarly, if Trump appoints a conservative who wants Roe v Wade overturned, states that want to maintain abortion could do so, right? States that value clean water could enact regulations protecting their water supplies, while those that value economic growth sacrifice the health of their residents a little. And citizens could vote with their feet. If a state like Kansas ended up gutting its government by cutting taxes (as it has), surely the problem would self-correct at some point, and set an example for other states?

Pollution is often a cross-border problem, but why couldn't states sue each other to enforce pollution controls? Why couldn't liberal states impose taxes and fund their own EPAs (perhaps with bigger budgets, since federal taxes would be cut), or do interstate compacts to fund agencies for basic science that would be too expensive to fund alone?

The constitution and Bill of Rights would still be in force, but it seems like the federal government's actions seem to lead to great unhappiness, from both sides, when the other party is in power. Why is there such opposition to cutting the power of the federal government, from liberal Americans?

I'm not an American, but I do follow US politics somewhat closely, and I'm genuinely perplexed by this.
Last time I've tried it (like 5versions ago) it was slow on PC, extremly slow on android, chrome extensions were still not present and it wasn't using more processes. When those features and performance improvements come I will consider it but atm chrome serves me well. On android I've whitelisted a few pages so they can run JS and that's it.

Might be more things that may change my decision but these are my blocker issues with it.
jQuery is a library, not a framework.
It's a fair complaint when this doesn't happen on other browsers.

Your website doesn't have to have "shitty poor design" for it to lag FF. Compare scrubbing in this React player in Chrome and Firefox: https://hsreplay.net/replay/WpWzqzkCHTGdEmbguHUoiC

It comes down to issues in the Firefox JS/DOM engines.
Not everyone who is religious is poor or uneducated. There are plenty of people with university degrees (even PhDs) and professional or academic jobs who are devout religious believers.

Even extreme religious views aren't necessarily a product of poverty or lack of education. Creationists like to list how many creationists have PhDs from respectable institutions–almost all of whom have PhDs in fields with no direct relevance to the question of evolution, e.g. engineering or mathematics–but, the very fact that they can engage in this specious argument demonstrates that not every creationist is poor and uneducated.

At a far more extreme end, several of the 9/11 hijackers came out of the Hamburg cell, composed of international students studying at university in Hamburg, Germany. Their religious beliefs were so extreme they were willing to kill themselves and thousands of innocents along with them, yet people who can afford to enrol in university in another country are scarcely people with "almost no hope for a better future".
I don't see the parent comment implying the US had ever used popular vote, so I'm not sure where you're getting that from.

Furthermore, the Constitution can change. That's why there's amendments; quite a few have already gone through, in fact.
