I appreciate your tip. However the error is still problematic that you can't find your stepping on what to fix.

Second, I can't embrace Clojure specific idioms that remove other platforms. That's why GraphQL is amazing, it standardizes across platforms for many types of clients. I embrace a polyglot engineering structure and there will be teams that use and consume GraphQL on languages outside of Clojure.

I'm comfortable with Emacs (just in VIM mode ;)).

Edit: to add, momentum is important in my eyes as well. It's hard to put down the momentum of GraphQL and it's adoption for something niche specific unless the pros heavily outweigh the current momentum. Which is definitely possible (why I'm investing this much energy to discover the viability of Clojure/Script/idioms) but I get very skittish when I see the current issues of community size, errors, and the lack of momentum compared to other technologies (Clojure looks like it's popularity has somewhat peaked unfortunately).

If a company/team can leverage Clojure and it's niches as a secret weapon despite it's smaller momentum then that's a huge win. But that means it has to be that big of a win compared to alternative technologies that do the same thing with a larger amount of people familiar with it.
If it's "TLS-Protected data" then how can it be intercepted? I thought the idea behind TLS is to protect data on the wire. The only way I can think TLS would be intercepted is if a rogue certificate was placed somewhere
What about the "old" jobs that aren't going anywhere soon?

There are a bunch of such in health care that are always drastically understaffed...

Node-RED Update Tech Talk, Feb 8
Chat bots, image to caption, and question answering are some more realistic use cases of the generator side. In those cases there is some input (previous chat message, an image, a question) which is encoded into a vector sometimes referred to as a context or thought vector. The decoder/generator unfolds that vector into a series of words.
I see this argument in many places. Who dictates the cost of providing services? Why are these costs so high? My pet theory is the insane costs (money, time, high selectivity) of medical training and office overhead. Medical professionals feel entitled to $$ for their risk. Perhaps older specialists who didn't have these costs are spoiled. I would love to see how tuition amnesty would affect price elasticity.
Devices that analyze lab-on-a-chip are nothing new, neither are the sensor chips. It's a technology that's been around for 20ish years.

What is new is this chip at such a low cost. LOC's traditionally cost hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the complexity of the chip design. The $0.01 cost is the innovation.
cost of care is more visible to patients

In the US you get to see the cost of care every time you have reason to see the physician - there's the copay for the physician visit and medications, and then there's the explanation of benefits, where you, as a patient, get to reconcile accounts. In NIH Britain OTOH, you get to see nothing of that sort (except a small copay for medication), and healthcare costs are better contained. It's the US that is the outlier, and shifting even more burden on the patient won't fix matters, it hasn't fixed matters in the past.
NASA has also used iterative refinement in the past.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out on 429824. Actually I'll need to as it turns out after a few hours more use that emailing links is something I use too much in the course of work to be willing to reach for the mouse (and the 'My Keyboard Navigator' doesn't work for this purpose on the mac). I wouldn't have known this without a few days experimentation, which in itself says something interesting about UX & (my) self-knowledge.

For now, it'll have to be back to Chrome, with Safari as a back up for hot days.

I guess this is part of why I'm able to make this comparison; I'm a US citizen living in Europe, so I can apply for "able to work in the US" gigs as well as "able to work in Europe" ones.
Oh it's absolutely complicated, but hilariously inefficient and corrupt on both a macro and a micro level. On every level you examine the system it's a bugfuck.

America is really interesting in that it traps people in jobs via healthcare (and other things, but health care is a big one).

I spent over a year backpacking after being out of the US for four years. I never worried too much about health care, because the few times I needed to go to a doctor, they'd tell me prices up front for uninsured foreigners. In one country, even though I wasn't a resident, my work visa did give me a discount.

I've been back in the US for a year and want to go a big road trip. I have a ton of savings, but my health care is terrible. I got a contract job with a $19/week "minimal effective coverage" plan (preventative only; the 'legal for less' type car insurance plan that is ACA approved).

After three months they gave me the PPO plan options which started at $400/month. Thankfully I haven't broken an arm, but in the 12 months working and not getting on that overpriced PPO plan, I've saved enough money even after tax that I could probably pay for a broken arm out of pocket.

I looked at ACA plans, but they were $200+/month with $6k deductibles. By not going that route, I've saved enough to actually pay that deductible.

When I quit my job this spring, I might be able to get a real plan by saying my yearly income was what I earned up to that point. But I don't plan on staying in this state at all, or any state for more than 2 ~ 3 weeks after. Since so many of these plans are tied to states/networks, what good is that anyway?

In the US you have to work .. work work work just to have basic health care. Either that or just be desperately poor. No other high income country requires this. They take care of all their people.
"But the problem with that is that the market that really really can't use GC is vanishingly tiny."

Even if that's true (which I don't believe), tiny markets have a way of expanding when new offerings are available.

New people are getting involved in OS development in rust, for instance. We might see some really interesting stuff happen there. The same thing may happen with databases and rust.

And you didn't address my example, which was all of those "-devel" packages you need to install to get all of those libraries that so much software depends on: libssl, libjpeg, etc.

"Rust throws the baby out with the bathwater and tries to pressure others into thinking that they are in this market."

And this has what ill effect?

Yes, but I would posit that the greatest reason that it has become such a problem is because of the subsidization that makes corn syrup so inexpensive. It's a massive negative externality that is completely unpriced.

It's subtle point nvahalik is making. If I don't believe in any kind of higher power, then by definition humanity is the highest power, and more specifically, I am the highest power in my own life. Atheism is a faith that elevates Me to the status of God in my experience of life. Although I may submit to the ethical constructs of the other humans in our society, ultimately I answer to only one consciousness: me.

This idea is extraordinarily seductive, as much as any religion. Personally I think it's complete bullshit. I simply refuse to believe that I am the highest power or intelligence or consciousness in any realm. I am not God.
Microsoft puts more effort into keeping things working than Apple does. Go works on XP as a result of the work Microsoft has done, not the Go project. Apple change subtle things in each OS X release making it onerous to support the older ones.

Perhaps, as an alternate approach to the problem, they could consider changing their own business practices so that companies didn't feel the need to persuade customers not to use PayPal.

Ie, if companies didn't despise you for treating them so poorly, they probably wouldn't be so inclined to bad mouth you.
>Calling all universal healthcare non-competitive is like calling building roads non-competitive. We have government roads and private toll roads. The same goes for many services we take for granted.

Roads are a major one-time investment with occasional upkeep. Everyone can use the road without the permission or assistance of anyone else. If we develop fully robotic medical treatment, this analogy may work, but as long as medicine requires direct, many:one human interaction to be worth anything to anyone, it's not a piece of infrastructure.

>A more advanced basic level of healthcare is something we are able to achieve because of our wealth and success. We already have sanitary toilets, housing, heating, clean water. Every generation has built upon what we can join together as a society to provide in order to promote our health.

We have sanitary toilets, housing, heating, and water without nationalizing home builders, plumbers, or utility companies. All of these things are subject to sensible regulations like municipal building and zoning codes, licensing, and local utility oversight boards that have arguably done a lot to keep the little guy from getting fleeced. Maybe we could take that approach, which is a bit short of writing a blank check or setting fixed prices for all medical providers nationwide?

>In my opinion, Buffet, Gates etc. are the heroes of our time for standing up as rich folks to advocate giving back more to society. They don't view government as the enemy; rather, it is the result of our working together.

Look under the veneer on Buffet, Gates, etc. They like government because it furthers their business interests (this is especially true in the case of Buffet) and because it's easier to exercise control over money sitting in a bureaucrat's coffers, especially when you're a big name like Gates or Buffet, than money that is dispersed among the private citizenry, who really don't have any special reason to care about your opinions.

It's also very useful PR to go on TV as the richest man in the world and say "I need to give the government more of my money". What would the backlash be if he said the opposite?

While Gates and Buffet surely have legitimately laudable humanitarian interests, it's misleading to pretend that they're saints. They are free to donate to the government as they wish. Suggesting that everyone else be forced to match them percentage-wise is a different story.
Om next is not really Clojure specific, you could use the same query/transaction model in other languages as well. The server part is can be used with any database. As I understand, that is much harder with GraphQL.
Russian laws effectively prohibit all kinds of internet pornography. More precisely, they restrict "unlawful distribution of pornography", but never define any "lawful" way to do so.

---

That said, if it weren't pornography, small rant about our judicial system:

Any judge in any city pop 50000 can issue a country-wide block for any site. Often these resolutions are too far reaching, sometimes they order to block root page (/) instead of specific page (/foo/bar), rendering whole sites unavailable. Sometimes they ban ip addresses of aws services, disrupting half the internet.

Another important thing about these hearings is that there is often no defendant. They might call in the site hoster, but hosters are never interested in defending their customers so they simply ignore the subpoena. Site owner would often discover their site was blocked after the fact.

Finally, in many cases judges don't even bother writing their own verdict. Instead they copy-paste whatever public attorney cooked up, including all the factual and orthographic errors, and sign it.

https://medium.com/@aalien/law-limits-8d733178e158 this is a very insightful post (alas, only available in Russian) from @aalien, founder of lurkmore.ru, which is arguably the most often banned site in Russia, about how this horrible system functions (or rather, malfunctions). I found this excerpt especially hilarious:

«Full list of Roskomnadzor-banned pages is available on our site. Unfortunately, that page is also banned by Roskomnadzor, because it contains "textual information about committing suicide". It's in the quoted Roskomnadzor letter, of course»
While we'll need to wait to seem how the implementation works out, I like the basic idea of this basically being Fulfillment By Amazon, but without having the rely on a potential competitor. It seems like you're an importer who uses FBA(or even just lists on Amazon and self fulfills) you have a short window to make money before Amazon eventually moves in on you to start selling the same thing. Even if you're selling your own stuff, you might not be safe(there's some kind of laptop accessory that I'm trying to remember that basically had an Amazon Basics version come out after being on Amazon for a little while).

Don't take this as being against big evil Amazon(I buy tons of stuff from them), but I'd rather them not be the Walmart of the internet that puts all the small web shops out of business.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. But how important is guaranteed integrity, in practice? (BTW, is what you're referring to considered transactions?) Obviously, for things like banking you need guarantees, but I'm not sure how often reads/writes to mongodb just disappear out of thin air.

No in the realm of plugins, which was the subject of the article, it's exactly how OP says: they know the Emacs plugin landscape and not the Vim one. For the relevant passage search "I'm not that person".
Are you sure about that?

The president did trigger a referendum on this, but the ruling party jumped the gun and passed (and now revoked) this law before the referendum question was even finalized. The referendum will still go ahead.

Even if you phrase the question as "Do you want to decriminalize corruption?", or a more probable "Do you agree with softening the legislation toward combating corruption?" a significant amount of people will say yes, not because they think corruption is good, but rather they've been lead to believe that the National Anticorruption Directorate is biased toward PSD (the successor to the communist party).

(Small note, the two main networks saying this are Antena 3 (whose owner is in prison and would have benefited from this law) and Romania TV (whose owner is on the loose and on Europol's most wanted list).)
Caltech: Planet Nine from Outer Space by Konstantin Batygin
Big funds will have direct access to CEO's and execs.

They'll sit down for an interview. Technically speaking, everything that the CEO will say has to be public information. It has to be above bar.

But sitting in the room, being right there, one might easily be able to glean more information than is actually public. Ergo - and edge. And it's not quite illegal.

So that is a form of fairly above board 'soft inside' information that nobody will ever go to jail for.

As far as more obvious 'insider' - maybe so, maybe not - I don't know - but I do know that you don't even need to do that.

But generally I believe there is basically no reasonable way to beat the market: all of the quant stuff is done by very smart people, fast computers, the value investing done by massive players like Buffet, and the regular investing done by people with 'extra info'.

I really do think that small retail investors are the losers in the casino.

Oh - and also 'big dumb money', i.e. low-performing people at big banks, sitting on huge sums that the hedges get little bites out of.
> Generate the markup on the server and send it down to the client! It's post-modern web development.

Agreed, but currently there is no great solution that allows you to do that and provide the kind of UI dynamism that really does improve UX.

There are solutions that use the same templating server and client side, but they are far from pedestrian.

I wanted to know where the Fact of the statement came from. Specifically, the fact that OP claimed Hillary Clinton was going to kill him.

I never once did this. I did call you out for being dishonest and if that makes me an arbiter of intellectual honesty then so be it.

And then you started name calling which was really classy :)

Emacs can completely emulate vim; vim cannot emulate emacs

That is probably not true. The main reason is more probably that nobody wants to emulate emacs in vim. Its more telling IMO that emacs people want vim in it. As user slurry above pointed out, its probably because old habits die hard and because people continue doing the same stuff to justify time investment.
Yes, "don't be shitty" is obvious the suggestion most people would have. That's sort of ignoring the point though.

Are you looking at Android Pay or other alternatives? It seems like the web payments API is going somewhere. It looks like there should be significantly fewer fees; Zooz at least claims to not have any cross-border or transaction fees.

I'm guessing these lower fees are part of why Uber and Seamless were offering discounts when using Android Pay.

[EDIT]: It's disappointing that Android Pay goes through the credit card system when making payments; I was pretty happy that PayPal bypassed the credit card duopoly.

Cloud rendering is a fantasy for games on flat screens, because the latency is too high. To maintain 'presence' and not get sick in VR, the motion-to-photons latency has to be _consistently_ <20ms.

360 video for VR is certainly a bandwidth-hog, but I think that could well be offset by most VR content being game-like, where, though the game might weigh in at 40G, you download it once, and spend 40 hours in it, vs a 4k movie at the same size, which lasts 2 (and which you'd likely re-stream if you watched it again). In other words, widespread VR use, even with next-gen hardware, could actually lead to a reduced demand for bandwidth.
Here is what I think happens.

Visual information is a lot to take in. When the eyes see 20/20, the brain develops to keep up with that information, and all this processing takes away resources from cognitive abilities, which have to do with more abstract thinking.

In addition, with more limited the information coming in, the brain has to guess more, and becomes more adept at abstract rather than concrete thinking.

Kind of like blind people develop much better sonar and have entire regions of the brain taken over by the sound processing structures.

While it may be true that smart children read more (or something), I'd say that, today everyone is staring at their screens in about equal amounts. So I'd say the above theory makes sense. I myself grew up kind of nearsighted, and now when I put on my contacts I can sort of feel the overload, when I engage in cognitive tasks.
