My recommendation is to start with just ES6 and Web APIs. Use DOM manipulation APIs to render page. You can use History PushState [0] and CustomEvents [1] to handle routing.

Only part you might have to spend some time to figure out would be compiling and module bundling. I suggest picking Webpack2 [2] and going through its guides to get up to speed with it.

Avoid frameworks and UI libraries like React and Vue until you really have a good grasp of the eco-system and problem you are trying to solve.

This was kinda my philosophy until other devs started working on my project. I couldn't bring myself to tell them "no ES6" in PRs, but wasn't actually a review without knowing it.

At some point I took the plunge. It is actually pretty nice for my uses, and I don't feel like I spent a crazy amount of time/energy learning. Mostly just a lot more productive.

Savings accounts are stupid if you are investing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in free cash, after establishing an emergency fund of several months' income.

Savings accounts are not stupid if your life savings accumulated over many years is only $2,000 or $3,000 and you never know when you'll need to tap into them for an emergency.

Agreed. He should have clearly opposed this EME garbage, instead of endorsing it.
I mean as a complex biological system phenomenon genius is unstable a bit like unstable weather phenomenon. We don't have windstorms all the time but every so often global currents and temperatures line up and we get one. I imagine genius is a bit like that at the genetic level.

I think genius can be nurtured and as a society we can make better use of all our geniuses but I don't think it can be taught. It really has to do with brain wiring and although much of it is plastic some of the defaults can't be changed and those default settings are usually the ones that make or break a genius.
Only bad lawyers do that, and only bad engineers abdicate their authority and let them.

Any good thing at a tech company is a collaboration between various parts (product, eng, etc). The second you let someone else run everything, you lose, and the product loses.

I think you nailed it. This is something that is pretty unique to the JS world.

I think the reason for this is that the entire infrastructure is built on foundations that are constantly changing. It's impossible to spend even a year refining your infra when the foundation has been replaced at least once in the meantime.

Imagine what would happen if the POSIX API's were to change every year instead of every decade or so. We'd have the same mess in the Unix world.

In fact, there is one place where this happens, although not as bad as the JS world: mobile development. Coming back to Android after being away for a year forces you to learn a whole new set of API's and most of the things you used to do have now become obsolete.

The main difference between JS and mobile is that for JS everybody builds their own frameworks and no one knows what the correct way is.

> So it looks like at the time of the incident at least there seemed to be some sort of payment collected for shows which was sufficient to deny entry.

If that is sufficient, why are bands without work visas allowed in to play at SXSW? SXSW is not a free event.

Shouldn't the key be whether or not the band is paid, rather than whether or not people are paying to get into the event where the band is playing?
Medical care should be a basic human right; part of society being a place worth living in.

If you want to pay extra for faster or 'better' treatment maybe you can get insurance for that.

As a society, the cost cutting measure should be based around buying in bulk and forming deals where a given area has at least enough coverage capacity contracted (presumably via some dutch-auction like mechanism) to cover projected needs.

Are we talking about immigrants or "immigrants"? I seriously doubt the immigrants of the illegal -- excuse me, "undocumented" -- variety are anything but poor. That's the reason the Mexican government is so eager to keep the whole thing going -- they get to simultaneously foist their poor upon the US while said poor send back billions in remittances. It's a major industry for Mexico, believe it or not.
I'm thinking that this is not as `black&white` as said.

There are accounts which actually are used by people/companies, they post authentic content but do some automated actions.

E.g. a company account which tweets authentic content for their field but on the other hand has automated retweets on certain hashtags in order to gain their authors as followers or to come up as related to other accounts in same field.

Also to mention that there are services such as IFTTT which actually can help you to automate such actions and make bot-like behavior.

I guess the same would apply to Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, etc.

Virtual DOM is entirely about performance. It is an abstraction that doesn't leak because it doesn't really have different semantics from the real DOM in the first place. In my experience, it is not crippled, doesn't cause usually trouble, and doesn't increase cognitive load. But I am curious to hear more about your bad experiences with it.

"the value of having state in one place and being able to call some function to update the UI to match the state." Why do you have to explicitly call a function to update the UI to match the state? With react-redux, components should update automatically when the redux state changes. Of course this is a separate concept from virtual DOM.

I did it, originally, because it became clear to me at a young age that patents were going to destroy the software industry, and that the average engineer was just going to sit around and complain on usenet (now hacker news i guess) about it :P

When i joined google, i actually spent a long ass time fighting for patent reform, too.
But it got too lonely (google was often the only one fighting the good fight and the other side gets very good at smearing, etc), and after many years, you also have to survive. But the second you do, you become the villain. People want absolutes.

Boilerplates are fine as long as things are working. Suddenly you come across a library you want to add to your project, and the boilerplate is not working, you go in there to figure what's going on, you are now even more frustrated, there you were trying to get something done, but now you are trying to understand something you didn't even want to understand at all.

The best solution I have come up with is, to use boilerplate, but to understand what's going on before I use it in my project. By understand, I mean at-least run through the code at-least once, understand what makes up your boilerplate. Doing this has saved me tons of time in situations where I might have got stuck for hours.

Just because there's no general algorithm to determine whether Turing machine X may halt, does not preclude the existence of specific Turing machines that can determine whether X will halt. This is part of the difference between truth and proof. Whether X will halt is true or false regardless of whether to use can prove it to be true or false in any given logic.

Matt Macy and company have basically added enough Linux API support to FreeBSD to run minimally ported Linux i915 drivers on FreeBSD. That work is here: https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/comm... It more or less works on new Intel hardware today (same hardware as Linux 4.7, but more bugs).

What's left for out of the box support, you ask?

* Committing the needed "linuxkpi" additions. This is complicated by the fact that some of Macy's work just imported GPL2 code rather than recreating it BSD-licensed. Hans Petter Selasky has been doing a lot of work lately to fix this gap.

* Fixing remaining bugs/incompatibilities in the linuxkpi that result in artifacts and crashes.

And the further concern is, how do we keep from falling so far behind again? Matt's vision has two pieces:

* We bring down our driver diff to almost nothing and expand the linuxkpi as needed by newer versions of the graphics drivers. This would make bringing in newer versions of the i915/radeon/amdgpu drivers less painful.

* We move the graphics drivers and linuxkpi (or portions of it) to the ports tree. FreeBSD's release cycle is far too slow to wait for a release to support new graphics hardware. On the other hand, stable branches get new ports on a regular basis.

"That sort of mentality is ill-informed of finance and the market"

Uh, no it's not.

"The market is not only for millionaires and billionaires. "

Yes, it most definitely is.

And most people who 'know finance' - know this.

The market is 'rigged', or rather, you are at such a disadvantage that it's effectively rigged and doing retail trading is essentially a losing game.

Unless you are pursuing a broad diversification strategy (i.e. buying gold, commodities, real-estate funds etc.) in order to preserve your wealth, you really are not going to win.

Retail trading entities, like ETrade are kind of a scammy thing - not directly per se - but they're selling you as fish to sharks (i.e. hedge/big funds).

If you want to make money playing stocks - you have to 'know more' than the person on the other side of the trade.*

Large funds and hedge funds each have massive, massive advantages including economies of scale, market-making, 'near insider trading' (i.e. they 'interview' insiders and ultimately gain info that's not public), colocating, computing power, the ability to move markets with trades, lead trades, the hire some of the smartest people in the world etc. etc. etc..

Unless you have near-inside (or inside) information on a specific stock - you're basically playing poker against Deep Blue and expecting to win.

Imagine you're playing poker and they are playing 10 hands, have memorized the deck, know 'all the best moves', are using a computer, and they 'take the dealer out for free drinks every night'.

You think you can beat them?

On the whole, I'd argue strongly that the best someone can hope for in trading in long run to ride the alpha of the market overall - and that's it. (Or again, to pursue some very broad strategy without having to pay a private wealth manager fees)

Did you read the story about how DraftKings works? Basically about 5% of the players make all the returns - they play almost professionally, or with data, or take it very seriously and buy data, know the strategies etc.. But DKings needs those Sharks to make the market. And they feed them fish (i.e. you and I), casual players.

Though stocks generally grow with the economy, and underlying trades there is actually an 'investment' - you're really not investing at all. You are speculating about the future surpluses against other people doing the same. Playing the stock market is more like gambling than investing - in Poker you know you're 'playing against others'. Because on E-trade one is theoretically 'investing' one does not think one is playing against others, but that really is the case.

You can try to play 'value investing' but there are just too many people with much more power playing that game as well.

Finally - I would strongly recommend that readers do not take the advice on your blog and borrow on margin for 6%. If you're borrowing at 6%, then you have to get returns > 6% in order to make this profitable. In other words: in order for that to make sense, you have to beat most of the best big fund managers in the world and be a 'truly world class investor'. What are the odds of that?

We've got to separate healthcare from employers before this goes to far. Companies have no business in your health and we still tie health insurance to employment as a legacy error not a benefit. Many problems arise from healthcare provided from the job such as ageism, culling the sick, making it harder to change jobs or start companies, and losing healthcare as you change jobs, not to mention helping the fixed price / backroom market that is healthcare. We'll never fix anything until we unbind healthcare from employers and make it more consumer focused independently (single payer or completely independent/private).

We don't get any other personal insurance from work. We need to outlaw allowing companies to facilitate the healthcare plans and go fully independent like all other insurance (auto, home, life etc). Benefits can be paid in extra money not false benefits that lead to invasions of privacy.

Why would you want your company knowing anything about your health? We supposedly live in a free society but then work at mini feudal/sharecropper empires with dictators and barely any say in what is acceptable.
Right. So now you have to figure out how to get a secure RNG into people's hands, so they can create pads. How does that work? Genuinely curious whether there's a reasonable solution.

The problem is that in countries where you can survive on $2/day, you can also largely squat where you want and scrounge crude shelter whilst begging for food.

You can't do any of that in California, in any reliable way... and in many parts of the state, $30k/yr just isn't enough to rent an apartment and cover the basics (food, transport, medical care). So yes, the poor in the US are both better and worse off than poor in the developing world.
"Love that I'm getting down voted for saying anybody can participate which is a fact."

'Anyone' can chose to play poker against people who are much smarter than them, who count cards, who use computers, who have 20 years experience and are buddies with the casino owners.

Now maybe that game would not be theoretically rigged, but one would be pretty stupid to play it.
The other thing of course to remember is just shipping food out of the US and into the developing world is how you break local farming economies. Who wants to buy food from the local farmer when there's ample free food from relief programs.

I'm gay i remember when i was engaged with my ex boyfriend,i had already confirmed he was cheating on me but i needed proof so i went in search of a private investigator to follow my boyfriend's daily activities from his house to his office,his friends house everywhere!!!... but i noticed one time he was always on his phone, the private investigator couldn't get his phone from him so i couldn't see what was going on and who he was always talking too,then a friend introduce a 'CYBER MILF' to me his name is mutewizard@cyberservices.com... he hacked into my boyfriends phone and he showed me conversations my boyfriend had with his other lovers on his whatsapp,instagram,facebook i was so impressed i gave him twice the amount he asked for, i think you guys should try him out.regards from A-jay
Oh, how many times have I done this. I think it is a side-effect of growing up in a time when the idea of genius was especially promoted, and also of being raised by parents who were teachers and who thought geniuses were important.

Thankfully, I have a good counterbalance of extensive readings in philosophy and theology.

Now, for a real sense of loss, two days ago the grandmother of my best childhood friend died. She raised him since his mother was about 15 or 16 when he was born, and she was one of those influential adults from my childhood. She was 93.

I happened to be taking a driving trip from Iowa (where I was raised -- yes, by Swedish parents) to the east coast, so on the way I drove through the tiny town where I grew up. (I grew up with the people who made Templeton Rye when it was still bootleg. I recognize the people on the label, even though I haven't seen most of them for 40 years.)

When I drove out to my childhood best friend's farm (a mile outside of town), only two of the outbuildings were still standing. The barn is gone. The house is gone and the basement has been filled in and grass is growing there. Some of the old trees have been cut down. Even the old hand pump that was in front of the house is gone. (It worked when I was a kid.)

It's ridiculous, I suppose, but I cried, and I'm not at all what you might call "a crier." The memories were so thick and so . . . not painful, but acute. I am cursed with an extremely good memory. The sense of loss, or really I suppose the sense of the contrast of difference between reality and the ideal in my memory, made me cry.

I think that is what accounts for that sense that perhaps one is a genius: 1) the desire to be a genius, in order to impress your dead parents or perhaps your peers who have inordinate reverence for genius; 2) a better than average memory that creates a deep sense of time; 3) sensitivity to change; 4) as the article points out, noticing things others ignore.

Now that I'm mildly buzzed, I'm going to work on creating a triple boot of LinuxMint, Manjaro, and OpenSUSE on this shitty little ThinkPad T60 made in 2006 since the wifi has quit working with OpenBSD. I'm too tired to figure out why, and I've never tried any of these Linux distros, and who says doing stupid stuff like this is only for teenagers?

Please forgive me for drunken rambling on a Saturday night. I promise I won't do it again for at least a year.
