> Neither Android nor Windows nor Chrome OS nor your favorite Linux distro have ever been able to truly compete with the NeXT legacy as it lives on in Apple.

I find this a funny statement. Apple has not seen runaway success in terms of market share, not on desktop platforms (where the top OSes are various versions of Windows), not on mobile platforms (where it is a distant second to Android in the worldwide market), not on server or supercomputer platforms (where it's effectively nonexistent).

Nor is it influential in terms of operating system paradigms. The only thing I can see people citing as a Darwin innovation is libdispatch. Solaris, for example, introduced ZFS and DTrace, as well as adopting containers well before most other OSes did (although FreeBSD is I think the first OS to create the concept with BSD jails)--note that Darwin still lacks an analogue.
Why do cartoons make elephants trunks look like trumpets when they trumpet?
Not totally. We support a number of java applets at work. The clients still take "way too long" to load and feel bloated. "Way too long" is a subjective measure based on the current hardware/OS. For a JVM to not feel slow it would have to speed up relative to itself...and I haven't seen them do that.

Java is not using a VM on Android since ART was introduced, although on Android 7, it is a bit more complicated, given the mix of pure Assembly interpreter, PGO driven JIT and AOT compiler.

On the contrary, there are probably billions of items shipped every day that does not get lost. Even if the 'lost' packages are 1%, it would still be reasonable to expect that you are in the 99%.

I have no idea, but I would expect the total amount of loss is less than 1% (?).

Did anyone ever notice how slow they were not only to 'run', but to initiate and start doing just about anything.

Most of those "advances" have nothing to do with files or images at all.

For testing it doesn't matter where the tests come from. Certainly some test environments look for tests in files with predetermined names, or in particular directories, but that's an implementation detail. Look at Rust for a modern compiled file-based language that completely avoids that; instead you tag individual functions with metadata to indicate that they are tests. At build time you can create both a normal binary and a test binary; the first is the program you wrote, the second runs the tests that you wrote.

REPLs and a mixed compiler/interpreter were both invented by Lisp, which is largely image-based. They go hand-in-hand; code you enter at the REPL might start out interpreted, but you can always call the compiler (at run time) to speed up functions you care about (or let the system do it automatically).

The static vs dynamic language divide has nothing to do with how the code is stored, but historically languages with REPLs have indeed been dynamic languages.

I don't know about Smalltalk specifically, but Common Lisp has a great package system, and with Quicklisp it's a fully modern one with automatic package installation, dependency management, version pinning, and everything. Of course, Common Lisp these days is a hybrid system. Your code is stored in files, and when you load them into memory to create an image. If you care about startup time you can dump that image out so that it loads all at once. Quicklisp just has to download a tarball of files and stick them in your load path for you; I don't know precisely this is done in Smalltalk.

Both Lisp and Smalltalk have a facility for writing code out to a file to be printed, sent across the network, etc. This is how collaboration is done. You write the code in your environment, test it, etc. Then you write it out to a file and send it to whoever. (Or your version control system puts it in a file for you when you commit, etc.)
We don't need a universal OS. I'd go as far to say that a universal OS is bad. A universal OS leaves no place for experimentation, no place for different UI concepts, no place for people to customize things to the way they want.

6 of the Worst Product Launch Failures (And What You Need to Learn from Them)
Because it just sucks, browsers were designed for interactive documents, not applications.

No HTML5 UI/UX comes close to what is possible to achieve with native APIs in any platform.

For old dogs like myself, it always seems that younger web dev generations are rediscovering patterns and features we were already doing in native applications during the 90's.

Also solutions like service workers look like some sort of kluge to sort out the problem to do offline applications in browsers.

WebOS, ChromeOS (barely used outside US) and FirefoxOS are all proofs that the experience is substandard.
In my experience, most problems boil down to "management".

If management is clear, supportive, and attentive, then things are good.

As a leader, doing this is not easy.

There is often a thin line between being attentive, and being overbearing.

The same can be said for being supportive: helping employees through a rough patch is usually a wise move from a business perspective, but at the same time, you need to know when it's time to cut your losses.

That kind of decision is never easy to make.

And being clear and unambiguous requires placing some tough bets on direction and strategy: you are going to have to say "no" to a lot of tempting possibilities, because the alternative is to try and chase everything that comes your way (a pattern I like to call "Chaos Driven Development").
You alluded to some of this already, but automatically capturing everything isn't just a feature you can tack on to an existing analytics system. You have to rethink everything from the ground-up in order to support it (the client-side SDKs, the infrastructure, the tools to organize the data, the analysis interface, etc).

This becomes obvious when you try both products side-by-side (and I encourage you to do so!). I haven't come across a single customer who sees this as a viable substitute for Heap.

Also, collecting everything doesn't mean you should pay attention to every possible metric all the time. It just makes it 1000x easier to hone in on the right metric at the right time.

That said, this is an awesome GA extension, and philipwalton deserves a lot of credit for building it.

Bitcoins Stagnation
But 2000kcal is already well below a male doing normal things during the day; so 2000 + gym with weights would drop that completely out. When I do weights I try to shoot for around 2500 which already sucks compared to what I was used to (which does affect performance but it feels the same so I think overall I benefit?). But when just doing cardio I can go well below 2000 on a day or just not eat at all (only tea + water) and feel sharp, I just choose not to and just do days without any food.

I cannot imagine doing every day below 2000 and then going to the gym indeed. That would definitely not be productive and painful, but doing days of weights with 2500 max, other days around 2000 and then some days 0 works fine for me.

For much of computing history where were making clear gains with newer hardware. Up to the 90's software was getting more bloated but it was doing more. Most apps today really aren't doing much/any more than we were doing in the 90's but require vastly more powerful machines.

To be honest I hate this economic idea of enforcing a ban via adding tax to it. This ideology shows the lack of understanding of the disparity in income in India. The middle class and below are the most affected and they face the most brunt of all this.

The same goes with how the govt. keeps adding tax on tobacco and its products every year. Forcing people to stop smoking by not allowing them to buy despite allowing it to be sold in open market is just one way of violating ones freedom to choose. I do not support nor encourage smoking but I do not like the idea of forcing people to stop smoking by making it expensive, tobacco industry brings a lot of revenue to the govt, the govt just doesn't want to stop it so they enforce such taxes so the govt. earns the same but the intake by people is reduced. This isn't a win-win by any means. People will still die of cancer no matter how moderately they smoke. The problem isn't solved here its just reduced by probably 10% but the revenue from it is still 100%.
> Do you deny that these things happened?

For the first one, the mother who was supposedly 'kicked out' denies it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/08/...

For the second one, he was not mocking the reporter's disability. He was mocking the reporter for pulling a story and the impersonation he did is Trump's standard impersonation for a flustered, bumbling person. There is multiple video of him doing the exact same action to able bodied people - from Ted Cruz to military generals, and all sorts of others.

Not only that, but the reporter's disability is nothing like the action Trump did. The reporter actually has frozen/locked up joints e.g. almost the exact opposite of what Trump did.

So, either Trump knew of the reporter's disability and wasn't mocking it (completely different actions), or he didn't know of the reporter's disability (and therefore couldn't have been mocking it).

In either situation, Trump wasn't mocking the reporter's disability.

Unfortunately a freeze frame from the video of Trump's movement matches a still photo of the journalist, hence the belief that he was mocking the reporter's disability.

And this is why people say the media has a well known Trump bias.

JavaScript sucks because it has a weak standard library, ugly syntax, and its monopoly in web development has the industry stuck in a state of mediocrity, in my opinion. I have a VERY hard time believing that the apex of engineering intelligence and ingenuity is found in JavaScript. Also, as much as I love Elm, for instance, languages that transpile to JavaScript are just lipstick on a pig, and do little to solve the underlying problem. I'm not a fan of Dart either, but at least Google made an attempt to solve the JavaScript issue in the best way possible with Dart; by aiming to get rid of it.

I take photos miles from where there's cell signal. I write code on the bus while heading to doctors appointments. The web is about as far from a panacea as you can get. It's slow, it's bloated, falls apart when you don't have a connection, useful applications die when the company dies. Were some of the midi devices I use for music "web-based" they'd have probably become doorstops decades ago. A web-based IDE would be horrible for trying to develop code with an intermittent connection. The web is not a good time.
But it is not something related to 2 year upgrade plan. In EU phones have 2 year warranty, after that period most people would like to upgrade it.
And more over in parts of the world outside US, the best phones are not always available on contract, you need to buy them on your own (e.g. Nexus line was mostly like that, Pixels probably too).

And more over cellular companies put a lot of bloat on the phones, some of them would make malware creators proud (e.g. an app that if you open it after 1 month trial period it will add a recurring cost to our cell bill).
1) The fact that webapps can run relatively well strikes me as hopeful, considering how much more inefficient using HTML/CSS/JS is compared to Java applets. Or is the latter not the case (honest question)?
2) I'm not sure if our expectations have lowered much. Perhaps it's more that mobile interfaces are generally simpler and thus easier to make 'native enough'?

Although I think there's more going on in regards to 2. I was never bothered so much by the UI of a java applet looking different. What bothered me was that even very fundamental stuff like input fields and scrolling felt both alien and shittier than native. And while it's certainly possible to make a web app just as shitty, if you rely on 'stock' html elements, a lot of the subtle native behavior carries over.

Just a few weeks ago, for example, I built a web-app for mobile devices. It felt off immediately because the scrolling didn't feel right. All I had to do was turn on the momentum scrolling (with a line of ios-specific css), and the scrolling suddenly felt native. Had I used a hypothetical Java applet equivalent, I might've had to either go for a non-native-feeling scroll or build it myself.

While I of course can't prove any of this, I think what people care about is that things feel native, not the 'skin' used to display it.

Quantifying controversy in social media
>Have you considered that your view of an "average" US conservative is incredibly biased by the media you consume

Err, I was just speaking in terms of public polling information- gallup is the "media" I'm consuming here. The median US Republican (good proxy for conservatism) does not believe in evolution or climate change- extremely difficult to find a serious faculty candidate who fits that profile, just for starters. Do you not agree with that?

You misinterpreted my second point- I am not trying to argue that liberals are more intelligent than conservatives (the data you share would have been what I suspected, though) - rather I was trying to explain that if we require a faculty candidate to have views similar to the median US conservatives, we'd likely be passing up on many, many highly more qualified candidates if it's simply a numbers game.

>Given that there's ample evidence of explicit evidence of discrimination against conservatives in academia

This is possible in the social sciences, where one's work can explicitly belie one's political worldview- but how does it explain the trends in the life and hard sciences? Faculty in fields like Biology and Physics are also overwhelmingly liberal, but departments generally know nothing about the political views of faculty candidates. Honestly, the only people who can be discriminated against here would be those who are very vocal of their political views on public internet profiles, and even then honestly nobody is stalking your Twitter when evaluating you for a faculty position. I think that this evidence directly contradicts the possibility that discrimination is primarily responsible for the political imbalance of academia.

> And that ideological blindspots can negatively affect the search for scientific truth, both by embedding values in the research that's conducted and by the absence of research in other directions? That these ideological blindspots might even exist in your own field of biology?

Of course- this is all serious stuff to think about and I often do. The other thing to think about is: how do we achieve that while also keeping cranks and denialists out of power positions in institutions of learning? It seems like those in the field are usually the best at distinguishing crankery from genuine ideological difference- if we don't trust them, who do we trust?

I get that you personally see the difference between what you're proposing and affirmative action for climate denialists, creationists, and anti-vaxxers. I do too. I'm okay with Scott Alexander and Peter Thiel faculty. I'm okay with Milton Friedman. The problem is I think that this line of ideological affirmative action would lead to professors Ken Ham, Jenny McCarthy, Glenn Beck, and Milo Yiannopoulos. There are many people in the US who talk the same way about academia, but are talking about this kind of change. If you can propose measures to introduce the reasonable kind of change you seek that is robust against the insane, anti-intellectual, scientific-existential threat kind of change a large number of other conservatives are seeking, I'd be tentatively on board.
