Of course it's subjective, and different people coming from different backgrounds / experience levels find different things easier than others.

But... that tutorial you say you like to show people utilizes jsx, which needs to be compiled with something (right? Or does react do the compilation automatically at runtime now and I missed that memo?).

And for people coming from a place where they are very comfortable and familiar with html and css, and maybe a light sprinkling of jquery on top, Vue is way more approachable than the tutorial you linked to.
Money paid into social security is only for your retirement if you're scheduled to retire before social security is scheduled to become insolvent.

You're not encouraged to rely on public unemployment insurance - the standard financial planning advice is to save and maintain 6 months of expenses in a liquid account.

If the public retirement and unemployment systems in other countries are actually sufficient, so you don't need to fund a private cover for them, that's easily 20% more ready cash.

We at engageSPARK moved from jQuery mess to Ractive.js, which we're quite happy with. The UI components don't cause us much stress, because they're conceptually simple. What gives us headaches now is the data flow (stores and actions using reflux), so we're now thinking about remodeling this, and while doing so moving to redux. The particular technology is less often the problem, but how it's used, and that's been true for us, too.
Though you have many insults, it seems that the heart of your argument is:

"Nigel Farage is altright. Altright can't be white nationalism because then Farage would be white nationalist."

However the alt right is not defined by Nigel Farage, rather if Nigel Farage wraps himself in that term than he is defined by it rather than defining it, as it predates him.

Reading anything about the alt-right will show that my estimation of it as white nationalism is correct. Look at

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on that extension.

Do you happen to know if there's a bug logged for the custom keyboard shortcut lacuna? And/or for there not being a preset shortcut for emailing links? (Yes I'm being lazy here and will look myself if you don't know).

The above two were top-of-mind examples, but, particularly with extensions, the lack of keyboard shortcuts does add quite a bit of friction to FF use for me. Perhaps not enough to send me back to Chrome (though today it cropped up often enough that I was tempted).

Another example is I haven't found a satisfactory way to add a link to Pinboard from the keyboard. There are a bunch of Pinboard extensions, but the one I like best so far (https://github.com/Cito/Pinboard-Pin) doesn't support shortcuts. In Chrome I would have been able to add my own.
> So in what way did [Rust] break for you?

For me personally, a few things seem broken, but there are work-arounds. Some things are very confusing for me, and I might get past those.

However, I work with some really smart people (Masters and PhDs in math, physics, engineering), and very few of them have patience for programming language complexity. They can mostly get by with a subset of C++, but it's not optimal. Rust is just not simple enough, and the "overhead/rules/babysitting" would be pretty hefty. I wish that was not the case.

The OP was referring to editing over the centuries. Implying that there were many changes over time. The early sources show that this isn't the case.

Yes, there is no way to prove that something wasn't edited in the intervening century. However we do have many early sources. If there were large edits made during this time we would expect to see more variation in the early sources we do have.
I hate it for custom tabs too. But what I really hate is the way AMP hijacks scrolling and page navigation. It totally breaks the feature of Android Chrome that allows you to quickly search a selected word by swiping up from the bottom.

No, then you'll just end up with the church of Thomas Paine. Plenty of Greek philosophers in antiquity wound up spawning cults...

Heck, getting back to the topic, even in Jesus' time there were various messianic and mystery cults within Judaism. Christianity just won... But even then there were all sorts of crazy beliefs, like that of reincarnation, which was surprisingly popular in the ancient Christian (pre-Nicene) world...

As a $250k Bay Area household, you are not even starting to scratch the position of a $90k (i.e. $50k accountant + $40k teacher) household in a Midwestern metro, i.e. comfortably afford to own a 3-bedroom in a pleasant neighborhood with good public schools and a sub-30-minute commute to the central business district.

Surveilling users without their knowledge and consent sure sounds like spying to me
That's an interesting discussion! Having read the Vovk papers, this blog post definitely presents things much more clearly. The original papers often don't adhere to the standard definition/lemma/proof style of mathematical exposition, which makes them really hard to follow.

It's also an interesting coincidence that this story on the front page today. I'm giving a talk tomorrow at AAAI on some work that extends this theory. We show how to do uncertainty estimation (e.g. calibrated probabilities for ML classifiers) under fully adversarial assumptions (input data can be chosen by an adversary). I'll do a shameless plug and post the paper here, in case people are interested in this general topic:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.03594
> Even believing the son of god is not universal among Christians.

It is nearly universal--universal enough to be useful. If someone says they are a Christian, absent any other knowledge, you can be very confident that they mean that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Obviously not 100% confident, but confident enough to proceed with that assumption in most cases.

I could say that a car mechanic, a pilot, and a web developer are all skilled trades. That doesn't make the term skilled trade meaningless, it just makes it less specific. "Christian" is a very broad classifier and it is about as useful as any other broad classifier. It lacks specifics, but language is recursive--I can add as many extra identifiers as I like, e.g., Protestant Christian, Roman Catholic Christian, and Orthodox Christian.
I would not expect any of these error messages to show up in a production build unless it was misconfigured (which it unfortunately sounds like the Instagram build was based on these reports).
My goal/point was trying to demonstrate how patently wrong the earlier statements were.

The evidence or examples you provide should make that clear. Unless you have very strong irrefutable evidence, I would hesitate making any absolute statement declaring someone wrong. What does it gain you? No one likes to be told outright they're wrong. The goal shouldn't be to score points: it should be to reach common understanding.

If this is something you'd like to cultivate further, you might find the references in my profile useful. I refer to them myself regularly.
>That explains the issues with the C2000 family. Various Linux distros crash randomly, and not just crash sometimes really just stop opening applications or stop processing e.g. apt-get.

No it doesn't. Did you read the errata? It completely stops. There's no weirdness. It's just dead.
This is exactly why one of my soon-to-be-focuses is Church history.

> Another complicating factor is the existence of highly syncretic forms of religion. Are Manichaeism (a Gnostic religion, which is to something that's vaguely syncretic of both Christianity and Zoroastrianism) and Druze (a Christian-Gnostic-Muslim syncretism) Christians or not?

Why is this complicated? Again, if I call myself something but yet plainly reject or outright act in a manner that goes against the stated doctrines then I am clearly not what I claim.

Examples:
Cath
olicism: Rejects the finished work of Christ by replacing the old sacrifices with a new one (the mass). (Read Hebrews 10). Teaches that man's sin is imputed to them (against what Romans teaches).

Mormonism: Actually the most polytheistic religion in the world. (Since there are in an infinite number of gods.)

Nestorianism: Confuses Jesus' being and goes against the council of Nicaea. Condemned at two church councils as heresy.

> Furthermore, an interesting facet of history is that religions tend to attack heretics far more than they attack heathens. This does seem to continue to the modern day--if you consider atheism to be a religion, then agnosticism (being noncommittal as to the existence of god) is a natural "heresy" of that "religion"--and militant atheists like Dawkins reserve even more anger for agnostics than for Christians.

I'm glad you at least acknowledge this. I steal Mohler's term of "worldview" when describing atheism—but in practically every way you have a religion in atheism: you are the god, you have a way of viewing the world, you have "holy books" written by people such as Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens... you get the idea.

But yes, it makes sense. I care far more what other people get wrong about my faith who claim to be like me but are not rather than people who don't make that claim...
For anyone interested in the very early origins of Christianity (first century AD) I recommend reading some of the work of Margaret Barker. In particular, An Introduction to Temple Theology is very good for someone who doesn't know much about the subject, and it's not very long, either. Barker is an old testament scholar and has done a lot of work trying to understand the way that Judaism was practiced in the time of Christ, and why Christianity was as successful in that environment as it was.

Most of us in the modern West only understand the religion ancient Israel through the texts that have survived in the Bible, but there are a number of other surviving works, fragments, and archaeological evidence that provide clues about religious practice in that time. (For example, one prominent text that Barker frequently draws on is the Book of Enoch, which was considered canonical by many Jewish communities in the time of Christ --- and actually still is by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church --- and was cited in the Letter of Jude.) Of course, a lot of this research is necessarily somewhat conjectural, but it was fascinating to read about why exactly there was so much messianic fervor in the Levant in the time of Christ.

As a user who primarily uses SCons, I feel like my opinion of Waf is reasonably fair.

1. Developers trying to use Waf never realized that they were supposed to check-in the python BLOB into the repository rather than using a system package. Consequently developers would find a lot of regressions in the syntax for builds.

2. Developers had to add the root of the project to their ${PATH} for it to work properly. This may not seem like much... but if you don't know better, it takes people by surprise.

3. Build scripts simply broke between Waf versions too often. Perhaps you can blame this on package mantainers... or maybe distribution maintainers.

4. There was never an overwhelmingly compelling case for `waf configure`. `cmake CMakeLists.txt` borrowed syntax from the C preprocessor which people were comfortable with. `autotools` had thousands of recipes for `./configure`. And adding configuration options to `scons` via command line options always worked just fine.

5. Using the Python language encouraged developers to implement actions which were not idempotent resulting in changes which were not properly tracked by Waf.

6. The code provided no obvious benefits to SCons aside from a little speed, and it was light years slower than CMake, autotools, or simple GMake.

You don't have to be a good swimmer in the ocean either, but if you have a specific goal, you might not reach it without.

For most notable events in history we have much more evidence than just text. Caesars writings may not have the same scrutiny but we've got coins with his face on them from around Europe. Christianity had little impact on the world for the first couple of centuries.

"If you are not passionate about programming, you must keep looking for your passion."

Where exactly is this rule writ? It's certainly a dominant current myth, but it seems to me to be responsible for a lot of dissatisfaction and the occasional success.

There is no preestablished harmony between the individual and this particular temporary political economy. The latter may or may not provide the facilities to indulge an individual in their "passion" (if they have one, which again isn't foreordained).

By all means if you can work at something you love, why wouldn't you? But most people probably never will, and to expect everyone to aspire to being exceptional is a demonstrated recipe for disaster.

I really think for most cases you only need a view library instead of a heavy application framework. There are only a few cases there something as heavy as Angular or Ember is justified and in many scenarios a thinner view layer like Vue, React, Inferno etc is much better suited. Most of the web is simple enough to not need fancy http features or complex routing support. Everyone rushed to Angular without considering if they needed such a heavy library. How Angular even runs on mobile is anyone's guess.

create-react-app is our recommended way to build simple React apps (and some complex ones). It has no configuration and is designed to be very easy to set up.

(My understanding is that Vue templates also need to be compiled -- is that incorrect?)

I wrote the tutorial. Could you give any suggestions on how I could make it easier to get into?
I've tried out both. I like Vue because I can work with standard HTML and augment it with Vue, whereas React requires using JSX. JSX is proprietary and HTML is kind of hidden. There's an additional mental translation when writing JSX.
How hard is to build a simple HTML5 website with little CSS3 and little to no (vanilla) Javascript. You know a website can be very tiny and fast. Yet people who don't know need Google to market them AMP "technology" to do the same but lock them in, and get full access to analytics data.
