Take a thing that you consider to have "value". How much money would I have to give you to convince you to give that thing up? That's it's "monetary value".

Well said! I wish I had discovered this truth few years before. In fact while it's especially true for JavaScript it's also true e.g. for Ruby ecosystem ~5 (?) years ago, with all the endless stream of test, factory, workers gems etc.
How governments/food associations/soulless marketers define natural vs artificial is different from a reasonable person. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I don't think many people would consider secretions from beaver anal glands a natural strawberry flavoring.

I've been using Angular 2 for a medium sized application that will be going into production within the next few weeks. I'm not affiliated with the Angular team at all.

I started using it when this app was very much a POC last summer, just as the Angular team was finishing up the 2.0 release.

I learned firsthand last summer the issues with using a framework that was still in the oven: constant updates and some dependency changes. That was no fun for some time.

But I'll say now that it was worth it. (Maybe I should have started a little later, post-2.0 release). But I'm now building out a decent sized and complex application much faster than I'd ever done before.

It is strongly typed, it is modular, and it has dependency injection. Oh and it's strongly typed. I can't emphasize the importance of this enough. I know you can use typescript without Angular, but that the Angular community and the docs are all in typescript make this a typescript-native framework.

I'll never look at JavaScript again if I don't have to. You and your IDE and the rest of your team can know an object's Type without having to scrounge around, it's such a blissful departure from JavaScript.

It definitely has a learning curve. If you're spinning up a simple web app it may or may not be for you. (...though now I use it to spin up simple web apps because I'm used to it and it's so good for that) But for anything complex that is being worked on across a team, I recommend you take the time to learn it.

It's not perfect, nothing is. But it is leagues ahead of any framework I've used on the front end. And having gone to Typescript, I will never use a native JavaScript framework again.

On my current job we use the Postman Chrome app to test out apis. I'm looking for a FOSS command-line alternative to it because it's very slow on my laptop (Linux, Celeron, HDD, 4GB RAM) and the UI makes no sense to me.

I know I could just use cURL (which I do) and/or HTTPie but it would be nice to have options.

Is there any alternative that would suit my needs?
Angular 2 is a different framework, plain and simple. You can continue to use AngularJS 1.x if you were on that framework.

I understand the frustration of someone who has used AngularJS 1.x. There is not really a straightforward and low risk path to upgrading a production app.

But that is like saying there is not really a straightforward risk to switching from AngularJS 1.x to React. They're different frameworks. AngularJS is different from Angular.

In my opinion the Angular team has created something really special with this new framework. I think it falls into a category of its own, very difficult to compare it to something like Vue.

Also, another problem that you easily put yourself into and that we did as well, besides the climate change, is that our world is built on non-renewable resources.

American conservatism is conserving a different political history than you find in Europe. "Way back when", America was a constitutional republic with a distinct federal government with distinct separation of powers. That's the "good old days" that are conserved in America.

So it's not "silly" except that the same word "conservative" means different things in different contexts. Though that's true of the words "liberal", "democratic", "federal", and "republican" for that matter.

Yeah, did the same things. I only work with "Western", Eastern European, and Russian developers. I speak and read a bit of Russian, and sometimes screenshots are a dead giveaway. I also have the interviews, with a surprise coding and reasoning task, and ask for references.

The reality is that today, a "meatmarket" (upwork etc. al.) freelancer is good enough to throw up a nice Wordpress site with a fancy frontend. Unfortunately, the people with the skills and qualities that I look for always end up with full time jobs at some point. All my long timers now have lead-dev type jobs with large firms.
I also skipped Angular 2 and moved to VueJS. Never been happier.

But I was responding to "You had it, and you blew it. Most people aren't going to use any version of Angular, now, and have switched to React and Vue."

When you look at the stats and look at other places online there are still very much people liking and using Angular. So it's not going away soon.

Also take a look at Google trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=angular,react
Both Angular and React are growing at an equal pace.

So the claim that developing new versions of Angular is a waste of time is nonsense.

I can do the same with a Python program written 8 years ago given that Python 3.0 was released in December 2008.

I don't think that it's Python's large standard library that was the issue since that was immediately compatible with Python 3, rather it was the large ecosystem (in fact particularly a small number of popular packages) which held things back by not porting soon enough.

It's not necessary. I mean if we use organic farming methods, we could achieve the same thing except not only do they produce more emissions, but because of the lower yield of crops, organic farms require more land.

In the tropics this means cutting down more rainforests, affecting not only emissions but wildlife.

The scientific and technological solution is disease and pest resistant GM crops.

When I said "you" I meant "the developer" not "the user": the class of devices that run C and not JS is also a class of devices that generally don't run third party code. If you aren't a hardware manufacturer (or trying to sell middleware to one) the fact the embedded systems run binaries that were programmed in C isn't in any way relevant.
you say all this like I suggested anything different. Salary negotiation is important, and in my experience the worst thing you can do is either mentally commit to taking the job before you negotiate a salary, or sow the seeds of mutual distrust early on. If you try to pull the same bullshit on the recruiter that they're pulling on you then you're playing their game on their terms.

What I've suggested, contrary to your (unnecessarily abrasive) reply, is not to give up on negotiations but to push past the impersonal arguing over numbers and get to the actual negotiation at hand by laying not only your own cards, but the other person's cards, on the table. You implicitly say up front "if you try to pull the same old $salary * 1.1 game with me I'll turn down your offer" while also laying out what your expectation is. You name a number, and say "that number is not good enough, make it better" and thus leave the ball in their court. This is not you saying "well I want a better salary than I have now, I make £20,000 and I will accept £27,000" - you're saying "well I want a better salary than I have now, I know I'm underpaid, I make £20,000 right now - it's on you to guess what I place my value at, but you know it's not a small jump".

All this without making you look like a distrustful asshole like many of the previous suggestions would do.

Oh, and I forgot to mention in my previous comment - you can be ambiguous about the amount you make too if you want, e.g. "I make below market rate" or "I make about 2/3 of what my friend makes for the same job". But it's very transparent.

Any OA publisher worth their salt offers a fee waiver program, and the expectation from Day 1 of OA has been that these costs should be baked into grant applications and funding requests. Many funding bodies and institutions take care of this for you, having OA funds and assistance available to take care of OA fees and to help direct publishing scientists to non-predatory publishers (Elsevier in particular can charge obscene OA fees, giving OA in general a bad name, which works to their benefit!)and also pick up the tab.

30$/hr is rich in India, so it's not surprising there aren't better rates.

For reference, in /r/india (on Reddit--not representative of the average Indian) a person posted about how they were struggling to live with 1.6 lakhs per month, and that became a meme.

I'm no fan of pesticides -- far, far, from it -- but this is unadulterated ideological polemic. Reading the actual report, the argument can be summed up as:

1. Pesticides are bad.

2. Pesticides are bad.

3-8. Pesticides are bad.

9. Oh and they don't even do anything.

The first sections may be entirely true, but are not a cost/benefit analysis. I could easily believe that 200,000 die every year from pesticide toxicity. But if 100 million people are saved from starvation every year due to pesticide use, then that isn't an argument against it. You need to present both sides of an argument in order for it to be anything less then polemical.

The final section is based on misrepresentation of sources. For example, first source they cite[1] does, in fact, state in the abstract that:

Despite a clear increase in pesticide use, crop losses
have not significantly decreased during the last 40 years.

And then goes on to state:

However, pesticide use has enabled farmers to modify
production systems and to increase crop productivity without
sustaining the higher losses likely to occur from an
increased susceptibility to the damaging effect of pests.

The concept of integrated pest/crop management includes a
threshold concept for the application of pest control
measures and reduction in the amount/frequency of pesticides
applied to an economically and ecologically acceptable
level. Often minor crop losses are economically acceptable;
however, an increase in crop productivity without adequate
crop protection does not make sense, because an increase in
attainable yields is often associated with an increased
vulnerability to damage inflicted by pests.

...Which is completely counter to the assertions made in the anti-pesticide article.

This is crap. If you want to see less pesticide use, do some actual science to prove your point; don't resort to polemical nonsense.
