You may prefer one or the other but most would admit they are pretty similar its just that the former hasn't needed an entire new language inlined into it. Given JSX has all its angle brackets, end tags and escaping expressions with {}, it can actually be more verbose.
Fortunately, we don't have at-will employment over here, and I have been quite up-front to my manager that in this team I would be leaving at 5:01, because I have a little daughter at home. And it was fine, because we already had a senior guy, working from his house, from 7:01 to 15:01 :-) And it is fine if somebody leaves early because of i.e. board-game night, or pub-crawl, unless our servers are on fire or you already have a scheduled meeting :)

To be honest I kind-of pride myself on being a 9 to 5 programmer. I remember reading about some studies that consistent work 6 hours a day is more productive than 12 hours a day after ~3 months.

Then I saw this with my own eyes, where I worked with a friend on a project, and I always worked every day between 8 00 and 12 00 and he tried to crunch from like 1 pm to 1 am ... my code was less buggy, more stable and by a week we actually had ~same ammount of working lines written.

If you prefer coded tests, there is no good alternative to the de-facto standard of using Selenium and/or Webdriver. But as you said, this means that creating a test setup is a development project by itself. So for our team, screenshot-based web automation tools like Kantu (https://kantu.io - or Sikuli https://sikulix.com for the desktop) are the best alternative to Selenium, especially for non-standard and animation-heavy web-app/pages like the one you need to automate.

I find that screenshot-based test cases are very easy to read and maintain - even and especially for the non-coders on your team. New button? Just take a new screenshot. Everyone that can use Snagit understands that ;)

It seems to me that many of the banks' concerns are legit.

I personally am not particularly keen on yet another API being made available to a bunch of rapacious VC-funded startups that facilitates my intimately personal financial info being spread around. Personally I bank with metro bank in the UK, they're new, competitive, and frankly pretty darn good, all for free. Do I need even more "financial services" thrown at me when there are apparently zillions of bricks and mortar operators already offering me everything from credit cards, subprime, insurance, car finance, re-mortgaging, yada yada yada yada ad infinitum?

I would argue that in this case, the banks' and my interests are somewhat aligned. They're protecting my privacy! How many profit seeking entities on the internet can say that?

I get it that fintech would dearly love to get its hands on people's money, but is there actual demand from said people for even more financial services? Or does this post simply amount to self-interested regulatory lobbying for a zero sum transfer of economic rents to the fintech space. Because you just know that if these APIs come about, fintech will find all sorts of dubiously "persuasive" ways to get people to allow access, possibly against their own interests.
Freedom to do what?
You still need to pay much more for housing, healthcare, services. And if you have a severe illness, healthcare will pay for the treatment but you can still lose your job. Add to that less holidays (in France you'll usually have 30+ days/yr), higher contributions to private pensions, and you'll quickly end up at a much smaller difference.

SV can still pay much better than France, but you don't get the ease of mind of working in a system that takes care of you if you're less fortunate or can't do your job anymore at some point.
> If you want to onboard people to your code base with no familiarity with the language or your system and have them be 'productive' (for some definition of productive) within the week, Rust is probably not the right choice for you.

But this is more or less why Rust isn't popular for LOB apps yet. If a business has a long-term, critical project, it needs to have relative certainty of its ability to hire programmers to work on that project, at least in case some of their current programmers leave the company, let alone wanting to hire more developers.

Right now there aren't many Rust developers, and training new Rust developers past the steep learning curve is hard. So employers, even if they recognize the value of Rust as a language for a potential project, have a hard time getting off the ground.

The good news is that the Rust 2017 Roadmap understands that this is one of the primary inhibitors of adoption and that the team is committed to making progress on this front. But it's why the language just isn't there yet.

casperjs is similar to Selenium but it only works with phantomjs. That's useful in the sense that you can do a quick test to see if your code works in a browser, but it's a different prospect to Selenium. Selenium (with WebDriver) works with all the major browsers. If you're automating testing a website/app then you need to be testing it in lots of browsers.
I've heard about a scenario where Jupiter once wreaked havoc on the orbits of the inner planets, pushing some of them closer to the Sun and pulling others further away. (It's not the Nice model [1] but some unorthodox variation of it.)

No, it's an economic decision. You pay for expensive university via higher costs for specialists. Healthcare is a good example. One reason that it's so expensive in the US is that the education is insanely expensive and doctors need to charge a certain amount to make sure it pays off. In Germany, nearly no one will have more than $10k debt after Uni, so the salary you need to earn as a lawyer or doctor is much lower. And as much of doctors' salary is paid by the state (directly or indirectly), it can be much cheaper to finance universities.
Yes and no.

The argument that it is a crime comes down to arguments around what constitutes 'unauthorised access'.

As 'unauthorised access' to a computer system is a crime, if you make your definition of 'authorised' "access subject to our terms of use" : Huzzah! Violating your terms of use is now a crime!

This all comes back to laws written in wooly "the courts will work it out" language.

To be fair, though, that tax includes the health care. At least in Norway, anyway, and many countries on the list.

And to me, it makes a huge difference. Some folks in the midwest pay about as much per month on health insurance as they do on rent: It isn't a minor expense. Even with employer-subsidized insurance, it is easily a few hundred per month, plus they have to pay the deductible before it kicks in. $5,000 after the monthly fee when you make 50k per year is quite the expectation. (the deductible is 10% of your income at that point).

No. Two threads on the same CPU core really access the same data(1) without the delay and no locking happens unless the programmer wrote some locking code.

Synchronizing the different cores or processors is another topic, but it's also typically dependent on the software.

Let me shoot a few holes in your reasoning.

> Corporations ... Don't [Have the power to arrest and detain on a whim. Not to mention, use drone strikes.]

... yet. In western countries. It's not unheard of in history for corporations to have armies.

That said, the primary issue today is that once data is collected, a government entity can subpoena for it, essentially turning the thing into a user->corp->govt data pipeline. In cases where you'd be worried about serious government abuse of data, the corporate databanks are not safe from it either.

Secondly, some companies do have a way of ruining your life. Think banks and insurance companies, for example.

> [Corporations] have self-interested incentives to provide tools which are economically productive for users. For example, a smarter smartphone, whatever that may be.

No, they don't. That's the naive story you may hear about market economics in primary school. The truth is, these entities have self-interest incentives to make you pay them for shit. It doesn't matter if it's economically productive for you, or if it's economically destructive. Think cigarettes, addictive entertainment, crappy products that break quick, planned obsolescence, various marketing shenanigans they pull with telemarketers, etc. Companies make useful products only when, and only to the extent, that they sell better than useless products.

I've been using this e-reader to read papers last semester. In short, the screen is still a bit small to read A4 sized papers without zooming, but it is actually possible, while I didn't do so with the smaller Kobo's I had before (Aura HD/H2O).

I much prefer the e-reader over a laptop (14" Thinkpad), but there are some downsides. Taking notes on the e-reader is clunky (so I don't do that), and the battery life is less than that of the earlier models (still workable, though).

The color-adjustable backlight is quite nice. The only e-reader I've seen that's better for this kind of thing is the Sony DPTS1, but then you are talking about a completely different price class.

While I'm positive you know that, don't make the mistake of limiting Ableton to electronic music - it has obvious strengths in that department, but there's really no limit to the genre and style of what can be done with DAWs like Live, Logic and Co.

By the way, if Ableton remains too expensive for your taste, there's always Bitwig, which isn't quite as mature and has a much smaller, but growing community, yet it's very similar to Ableton's approach to music production.

> But the problem with that is that the market that really really

It's huge, but specialized so may not be on your radar: small embedded devices. Think RAM size from 10s to 100s kB, and Flash from 100s kB to few MBs as rough ranges.

The interest for IoT, and the need for battery operated devices with lifetime of 10+ years, make such platforms very important. And cost and process constraints (like embedded Flash) lead them to be implemented in conservative nodes: 55 to 40 nm typical, will go to 28nm in time but unlikely to go lower. So the amount of processing won't change much in this space I believe. An any gain would not be used to get a bigger CPU/RAM, but to reduce cost and power (less power is smaller batteries => cost too). So this space will stay on the very small side for the foreseeable future.

These are devices that run on very small micro-controller cores and are too small even for a striped down embedded Linux distro. It's either RTOS, or even simple run-to-completion preemptive schedulers, or even bare metal. No room for GC here, and Rust with its focus on performance, leanness and safety is very well suited as a language.

As a platform, the fact that there's only one LLVM based compiler for Rust is a limitation in this space. In the deep embedded space there are a lot of architectures for which there's no LLVM support (Cortus, Andes, BA Semi, LM32, Nios, ...). But I hope this as temporary. GCC is the most common toolchain there, and hopefully at one point GCC will gain a Rust front end. Or maybe LLVM will become more popular in this area? We'll see.
