Vue is an absolute breath of fresh air for anyone used to monoliths like Angular. I was able to pick it up and immediately become productive with almost no learning curve. It shows you just how over-engineered most frameworks are.

Vue + Vuex(data store e.g. Redux) + Firebase is my current stack for new application development and I am literally 10x more productive from the days of writing Angular apps with a LAMP or nodejs based backend on a VPS.

I definitely can not see the Kernel thing happen. Ever thought of power management and keeping the whole system fluent? This are all not easy problems which you solve in 1 or 2 years. It may only work for very specialized hardware... speaking of hardware. Hardware driver support is also something most other Kernels suffer from in comparison to e.g. Linux.

You are absolutely right and I'm surprised more people are not calling that person out for what you describe. The person even notes that the article was nominated for speedy deletion __seven minutes__ after it was created. That is insane!

Very much reminds me of the time Around 2008 when Jimmy Wales' article about an SA restaurant was deleted for similar reasons[1]. Looks like for all its discussion the Wiki community has learned nothing.

> I also have to imagine the Android update problem (a symptom of Linux’s modularity)

I seriously doubt the Linux kernel is anything but a minor contributor to Android's update problem. Handset developers make their money by selling physical phones. In two years, your average consumer probably doesn't care if their device is still receiving software updates. They'll jump onto a new phone plan, with a fresh, cool new mobile, with a better screen, newer software (features!), and a refreshed battery.

Maintaining existing software for customers costs handset manufacturers $$$, and disincentives consumers purchasing new phones (their cash cow). The money is probably better spent (from their POV) on new features, and a marketing budget.
But there are frequent commits to multiple repositories on the fuchsia code base[1]. I don't really see where Google is going with this, if it's neither meant to replace chrome OS or Android.

Maybe a long term project? I think Google is at a position where they can write a great OS from scratch, learning from the mistakes of others, and it has a chance of becoming the greatest OS that ever was.

With the talent of it's engineers, they can bring new ideas that can be better implemented, from scratch on a new OS. They already have a bunch of languages, web frameworks, and so many more technologies from Google that can be well integrated in this.

And looks like the project is mostly BSD licensed, which is great! I'm excited for just that alone.

So were Java Applets with AWT. Users hated that, so Sun tried PLAF, a half-assed emulation of each platform. That didn't work either, so Applets died.

If Chrome manages to provide better versions of most applications on most platforms, it may win. Otherwise, people who use those applications will hate it with the heat of a thousand Suns, and it will go the way of the Java Applet.

>The ban has been active in Bangalore since March, 2016 [1] and in Mangalore for much longer [2]

It is not enforced though. I'm living in Bangalore and shopkeepers still give me plastic bags all the time. Banning something, or passing a law is only half the battle; enforcing them is the real issue. And you cannot enforce the laws because corruption is so wide and rampant in India that nothing can be done about it, or so it feels.
When I want to lose fat I go low calorie high protein (below 2000kcal). I get constant food cravings and I can't even get myself to do anything in the gym, also have a hard time focusing at work. It was considerably better when I wasn't lifting - then you get used to it (I still felt weak) - but weight training + low calorie = very draining.

You also get a lot of people saying that the lax immigration is specifically designed so that farmers (and restaurants, and even private persons) could exploit labor instead of paying livable wages.

Since lax immigration's net result is a serious deterioration in labor conditions, it shouldn't exist. And frankly, let's just not pretend this i meant to increase the chances those people have in life, therefore it should not be done.

These people would generally be referred to as "leftists". And please just don't make the argument that people should "allow" themselves to be exploited if they want to. It should simply not be possible to exploit labor. That means no illegals and strict enforcement of immigration laws, especially against employers.

Immigration laws protect people, among other things, against competing in a global labor market. Why ? Because global labor conditions are disgustingly bad.

Global median wage is $18000 PPP dollars (yearly). There are 2 terms that require definition. Firstly median means 50% make less than that and you should generally expect to make slightly less than that if you're not exceptional. Second is PPP dollars. The "real" global wage in real dollars is about $3000, but because bread is generally cheaper outside of developed economies. To put it inaccurately but easily, you can buy $3000 worth of iPads with PPP dollars, but $18000 worth of bread.

If you are unwilling to work for a yearly wage of somewhere between $3k and $18k, and you think the law needs to prevent such a situation from arising, then part of that law needs to be that illegal immigrants can't work in the US. Otherwise such a law is crippled/sabotaged.

I get that the "gig economy" cannot exist under those conditions. And that you will have to walk 200m if you want pizza in the weekend, or pay 40$ or so for that pizza. That's what it takes for everyone to be able to live, and the gig economy, frankly, deserves to be laid waste.
I get plastic bags from shopkeepers in Bangalore all the freaking time. Sometimes I've had to refuse taking the bag and simple carried stuff in my hand.

> For example, a 3am network blip that causes the application server (still logging in DEBUG from the last outage)

Nope. Don't do that. Infra should be immutable. If you need to bring up a debug instance to gather data, that's fine, but shut it down when you're done. If you don't, and it causes an issue, you know who to blame for that.

> to fill up its log partition while it can't communicate to some service nobody monitors anymore.

Sane log rotation policies (both time- and size-based) solves this. If you tell your logging system "keep 14 old log files and never let any single log file to grow above 250MB", then you know the upper bound on the space your application will ever use to log.

Also, why are you not monitoring logs on this service. If it's spewing "ERROR Can't talk to service foo" into its log file, why aren't you being alerted on that well before the disk fills up?

> ... nobody monitors anymore.

Nope. Not allowed. Fix that problem too. Unmonitored services aren't allowed in the production environment, ever.

I've heard (and given) all the excuses for this, but no, stop that. You're a professional. Do things professionally. When management tells you to skimp on monitoring and failure handling in order to meet a ship date, you push back. If they override you, you refuse on-call duty for that service. (Or you just ignore their override and do your job properly anyway.) If they threaten to fire you, you quit and find a company that has respect for your off-duty time. Good devs & ops people are in high enough demand these days that you shouldn't be unemployed for long.
Facebook uses derivatives of PHP and mySQL today, because those are the technology choices Zuckerberg made in 2004. You hope you should be so lucky!

Also, "distribute that code" can be interpreted very broadly. A contractor may access your internal HR system, and now you have to share it with them. A factory line worker may be entitled to the source controlling the robot fixture. A airline passenger may use the in-flight entertainment unit, and be entitled to its source. Etc.

My suggestion for you (which I would not give on /r/personalfinance) is that you actually try running the numbers on that - it should be fairly straightforward. Look up "amortization" if you need to.
Absolutely. Over the last year an interest in woodworking has caused me to shift from almost 100% Streaming TV/Movies to maybe 40% Youtube and 60% TV/Movies (Netflix type services).

Youtube recommendations occasionally put me onto a new content creator/creation group that adds to my regular viewing. Much of this is both educational (how-to videos) and entertaining. Finding something with the right mix of educational impact and entertainment value is, IMHO, far rarer.

The rate of new (albeit shorter duration) content on Youtube seems to outpace the rate of content I want to watch from the TV/Movie streaming services.
> Ops work is significantly harder than many devs think

No, it's not (I've done both). Ops is about process, and risk analysis and mitigation. Yes, there's always the possibility that something can go rogue and start filling your disk. That shouldn't be remotely common, though, if you've built your systems properly.
Webapps in the sense of "fancy JavaScript" are no better than Applets. Google has the infrastructure, money, and business model to put most of the code on their servers and write native clients. Modulo privacy issues, they have found a solution.

The main reason for the cleanliness afterwards are all the extra staff during those periods that go through and pick this stuff up.

Children might have better likelihood of eventual reproduction if their parents are in good health as the parents raise their children during and past the parent's reproductive age.

> The magic of bundle economics allows consumers to get more for less

Sometimes, yes, but sometimes it's basically a scam that relies on consumers having few options and low negotiating power.

Companies always want to come as close as possible to charging you without providing anything in return. Phone companies prefer to charge you for potential minutes for month, rather than actual minutes used, as then customers pay for the purely theoretical unused minutes. Cable companies prefer to bundle channels because you have to pay for the ones you don't watch.

This might be true for the US, where 75% of subscribers are on post-paid (contracts). It's not true for the rest of the world.

* Europe: < 50% post-paid

* Rest of the world: < 22% post-paid

I'd also argue that Android users will be more likely to be pre-paid than post-paid customers (compared to iPhone users) in all of these regions, but I have no data to back it up.

Anyway, I agree that it's probably not very profitable, if at all, for android handset makers to support their devices for > 2 years. But I think many customers would benefit from it ...

> I seriously doubt the Linux kernel is anything but a minor contributor to Android's update problem

The Linux kernel is at the very heart of Android's update problem - not because of "modularity" but because it lacks a stable ABI. Because of this, Android requires handset makers and SoC manufacturers like Qualcomm to provide updated drivers; these parties are perversely disincentivized to do so as they would rather sell more of their latest model/chip. If the Linux kernel's ABI were stable, Google could bypass the manufacturers altogether when sending out updates.

The Android ROM community struggles with this - you can update the userspace or overclock the kernel to your heart's content, but you will forever be stuck with whatever kernel version the OEM-supplied drivers support.

Edit: added ROM paragraph
A product I worked on was a victim of Microsoft changing preferred APIs. Their competing product which the prior year had less market share somehow sported the new UI instantly when the UI became publicly available. Monopolistic behavior if you ask me.

Well, that's exactly why I've bought an iPhone this time. Exactly €1000 lost for the Android ecosystem, just because I want encryption. I know, Android 6.0 has encryption by default, but 4.4 doesn't, and that's the point. The whole story displays a lack of professionalism, in my opinion.

It seams like they are trying so hard to blame Trump

But then they say things that counter the title

> engineering applications overall are up 3%

and then offer a different more logical theory that can explain it

> international students at public universities pay tuition rates that are much higher than for in-state students.

I wounder when applications have to be sent in, because Trumps temporary ban on 7 countries only happened in January. Is there enough data from then until now to make any sort of correlation between the ban and the amount of applicants? During the campaign he was given an estimate of 0.1% chance of winning. Also, the article wrote that in a school that specifies in oil, only 9% of the foreign applicants are from those Arab countries.

As someone not living in the US, planing on studying for a masters degree, I barely even considered the US. Only the top schools offer funding that makes tuition be next to nothing. Other than those, the unrealistic costs and other issues that have been around with the US for more than one month make studying in Europe much more appealing.
I don't see how working remotely can ever replace the human interaction of working in one place.

For things that require physical presence, like IT, sure. Most people don't work on stuff like that. For those people, video meetings, slack, etc., can be fine for keeping in touch and having the entire team feel connected.

And, yes, having a working internet is the single point of failure for remote work. It's reasonable for the office to have redundant connections, but not for people. For the 16 years I've lived in my current place, I've probably not had a connection for no more than 24-48 hours.
