No. Implying a single piece of decontextualized evidence--sea levels not rising--casts doubt on AGW is a classic denialist tactic. Multiple lines of evidence provide compelling arguments for AGW. It's an intellectually dishonest gambit to try to play a game of "gotcha" instead of trying to come up with the most powerful explanation for a phenomenon, and toxic to scientific discourse.
The problem with callbacks isn't the indentation. It's that downstream dependent logic has to take place in the callback.

If you have two logical branches that share a downstream, now you have a fork with identical callbacks.

So reducing callback indentation comes at the expense of indirection. You're not changing the nesting at all. Usually just brooming stuff under the rug.

As a freelancer or agency – how do you deal with spaghetti code projects?
I'm a freelancer transitioned into a very-small agency.

The projects we take on are typically startup products. This enables us to work on leading edge tech. However as my reputation grew - people/companies have started seeking me for some of their old projects. I do take on maintenance for the products we developed.

However the other maintenance projects that I get asked for are because "that vendor was too-slow/did-not-deliver-to-expectations/not-responsive".

When I look into the code for these older projects, most of the times that is spaghetti code and lots of it. And the customer/lead wants us to maintain and add features to that instead of allowing us to rewrite full or part of it. Obviously, the cost of rewrite is higher, but in reality the cost of keeping the spaghetti is even higher over a longer term. I make sure they atleast hear the pros and cons - but then I don't push too hard on a rewrite.

First, taking such spaghetti projects is profitable. Adding to spaghetti is not too hard. The customers are asking for it - hence its not unethical. These customers have already proven they don't care about the internals. And then spaghetti also has patterns within - making it easier to understand as we spend more time with it.

Second, these projects are extremely frustrating. We know what's wrong, but voluntarily decided to live with the wrongdoings of other developer(s). Of course we get paid well.

BUT I am worried if I should continue taking on similar projects. I code too and I have experienced friction with other good devs in the team because of such projects. I kind-of understand why thats happening. And planning to add a few average developers (as a different team) to take on such "spaghetti projects" - hoping that would work. But not sure if thats a good idea.

I guess many freelancers/agencies faced such problems. How was your experience and What did you do?
Hi,

as explained with another dev, "gcc -O7" its because I previously been trolled with "gcc -O3" vs others optimizations, so, as -O7 == -O3, I don't care

There is no alpha yet, but there was a closed tests session with a few people. It's explained on the KS campaign

As explained, we are finishing objects and ES5 standard, so your code doesn't compile, but this one does :

var hello = {foo: "Hello, world!"};
console.log(hello.foo);

If NetcarJS was finished, we wouldn't have to launch a KS campaign

You may be interested to know that the word 'Coromandel' is a anglicized corruption of the 'Chola mandalam'. The Cholas had a sea empire that stretched all the way up to Vietnam. You probably know that there are Hindu temples in Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia. Wherever the Cholas landed they set up a temple with a local caretaker who later grew in power.

Try Vue.js. It's what Angular 2 could have been, if they had taken proper advantage of ES2015 and virtual DOM. Another way of looking at it: Angular 1 and React had a baby, and they named it Vue.js.

Vue has HTML templates like Angular and virtual DOM like React. It is faster than both of them. It has a smaller file size than both of them. It has a clever single file component concept that makes developing components much easier. It uses a one-way data flow concept like React+Flux. Vue even has it's own competitor to redux/mobX called Vuex, and what makes it easier is that Vue is cognizant of Vuex's existence. There are really solid dev tools for Chrome as well (Vue and Vuex are aware of the dev tools as well).

I run a dev meetup, and I had planned to give a talk there on Angular 2. I even gave talks on JS tooling a year ago and TS last summer in preparation. Instead, I gave a talk on Vue this month, and people loved it. Here are the slides if you want to check it out (there are even embedded Vue apps!): https://azurelogic.github.io/vue-js-2.x-talk/#/

As a linux user, my macbook died and no I basically cannot backup my music that I buy from iTunes.

I don't want to stream, I really enjoy owning my music.

and given that they've caused me to lose music before[0] I'd rather keep this.. so, how do we sync without itunes?

And how can I load the music I bought on CDs years ago onto my phone without iTunes?

In my experience, allowing photography in museums isn't "unusual." I would have said it's more common than not. When it's not allowed in busy museums, I also wonder if one reason isn't to discourage people blocking foot traffic and otherwise getting in the way because they need their fiftieth selfie portrait of the day.
To me, this just seems like the usual public overreaction to a single observation.

Again, there are people who've lost data and in some of those cases it was even caused by Dropbox — as opposed to the hardware failures or human errors which are often attributed to a service like Dropbox because that's what first made the problem visible — but that's still anecdotal rather than proof of widespread problem and, going back to the topic at hand, it doesn't tell us that the answer is to avoid installing updates. For a widely deployed consumer app, a significant fraction of the work will be defensive coding to reduce the impact of problems on the client and holding back updates will actually increase someone's exposure interval.

Dr. McCammon has endured even more failures than this article shows. He has a smaller calorimeter that he launches on NASA's sounding rockets. I was a telemetry engineer on another mission while both of our payloads were at White Sands in launch preparation. Dr. McCammon told me that he had been trying to have a successful launch since 1998, but launch vehicle issues (guidance failure cost one launch, command uplink cost another) and experiment issues ( the calorimeter is relatively fragile) had resulted in four consecutive failures.

For all that though, he is an accomplished scientist and still had a positive attitude, which made me admire him greatly.

I don't think polio eradication is a good counter-example. There were no strong economic forces advocating for the status quo; the iron lung industry was quite small.

Rapid runaway global warming isn't the scientific consensus.
Electron apps are most certainly not functionally indistinguishable from native apps. They are always much larger and always seem to consume orders of magnitude more resources (memory, CPU.) If despotify still worked I would absolutely use that instead of the slow, buggy webview based official client.

People want native apps because they don't want the cooling/memory/power consumption from the web, as well as their delay tolerance and consistent UI. Electron can only provide the second (and sometimes the third.)

I did not say what you think I said.

You think that's not toxic to discourse?

>> I feel very unmotivated and unproductive at work

We usually feel that when our potential is not satisfied and usually I think people who have worked on their own end to end projects in companies or have done start ups have a sharper antennae to know when they are wasting their time.

But it could also be that you are wearing the entrepreneur hat while being an employee, that can cause immense frustration. As an employee just be a great team player, do the work assigned and most of the times try to be in 100-110% range of your output and go home. Then work on your thing, where you wear the entrepreneur hat. This is a nice trick that works if you push yourself a bit; detach from the expectation of fulfillment from a job at least for now.

If nothing works, then you got to find a new job but before that you would seriously think on the type of problems you would enjoy working on, verify that with side projects or know that from your startup experience, apply till you hit the right job. And if job is not a cup of tea, then part time remote consulting and working on your own thing.

The point is you need to chill out and as others have pointed out, first be happy that you are in a job at one of the top 4, enjoy the 8 hours your spend there and use it as a leverage to course correct instead of throwing the baby out with the bath tub, though I know you won't do that. Good luck!
I'm also not a fan of opinion pieces but I do like analysis (I really enjoy the Economist because they seem to do a better job providing context and analyzing the consequences of news events than most news sources.)

I tend fall more on the liberal side (I like to call myself a liberal libertarian) and I am also not a fan of Buzzfeed and the Huffington Post. I don't consider them news organizations though. However I do consider Fox News a news organization and think they can do better. I expect a conservative slant but sometimes their home page resembles a supermarket tabloid too much for my tastes.

For me I have given up on American news media pretty much entirely and use BBC News 30x more than CNN.

This has been my experience as well. Companies will keep their best developers as developers, and perhaps promote from other, less important areas to management (or, perhaps more often, hire externally).

This is absolutely not limited to large companies in any way.
There is probably a non-trivial amount of astroturfing here, but also software developers are people too, and people get dogmatic about their opinions.

I probably won't ever use Angular unless I find myself desperate for work and can't find anything else. The problem I see inherent in frameworks is that they are all dogmatic about their opinions, and thus criticism of frameworks often do boil down to "I don't agree with their opinion", sometimes with rationalizations mixed in.

Preferences aside, Angular is objectively one of, if not the most, heaviest frameworks for web front-ends. It is not just a matter of bandwidth to the end user, but also a lot of magic under the hood that developers have to deal with. Consider the Java mindset that may have inspired Angular, people don't want to deal with that level of verbosity and enterprise mentality.

Unfortunately, there are increasingly few employment options if you want to use anything other than React or Angular. So rather than framing this argument in terms of framework hate, consider it a problem that lots of developers are forced to use these frameworks in order to be more like easily replaceable cogs in a machine, or be unemployed.
I see your point. I would argue, howevever, that very few of the issues we are facing at the moment stem from lack of understanding. We have most of the knowledge we require to instantiate a radically better-off civilisation, and, most importantly, we have the tools to continue gathering and applying said knowledge and iterate on said civilisation.

But we choose not to. There are loads of VERY smart people in the top positions of gigantic multinationals. They do not lack for IQ, or for information that without a shadow of doubt informs them about the long-term consequences of their actions. They choose, daily, to apply their IQ and information not to create solutions that would benefit humanity as a whole, but to maximize the short-term gains for themselves and (hopefully) their shareholders. The reasons for this behaviour are multitudinous and complex, but I would argue that lack of IQ is not a major contributing factor, quite the opposite.

And all that could still fall in the category of "fine, whatever", if in their greed they would not actively destroy the education system already in place, because people who lack basic knowledge and tools for critical thinking are that much easier to manipulate. Again, it is not the lack of IQ that is the issue, it is the knowledge and exercise it has been exposed to. I myself have an IQ well above average (Mensa member), but before I found out about heuristics, biases and critical thinking, and learned to apply them, I was an easy prey for "mediums", "spiritual guides" and other "new age" crap.

TL;DR people are easy to manipulate regardless of their IQ, if they haven't had an opportunity to learn to use it.
