> because out there plenty of people still treat JS as a toy

actually I think it is. that so much stuff comes out for it is a clear factor that we are not there yet.
I also think that we either get a good language to compile to js (scalajs, elm, clojure) or that WASM will be stable and supports the DOM, before we reach the "JS endgame" (a stable technology which will have backwards compatible stuff for at least 5 years)
Browsers make changes like that to their UIs all the time. I highly doubt that a member of the general public would notice the difference. Heck, I doubt most developers would notice.

I definitely am not trying to make you believe anything, nor am I defending any past actions of the CIA (I don't know enough about all that to have an opinion). My comment is only based on my own review of all documents released so far in Vault 7. All indications show that these tools are made for use on specific targets, applied on devices by a human operator or asset.
What? Of course they are. If I felt like my credit card didn't have my back on the chargeback policy, then I'd be far more likely to go to a competitor. It may not be what's on the ads, but you do realize customer retention is a huge part of competition, not just customer acquisition.
> But would this not lead to a system with very low cohesion. Because I would for example have one function for creating an user and another for updating the user.

A serverless-architecture network-callable function is just an entry point which can dispatch to other "private" functions, and the same network-callable function can be called with different HTTP methods with the method as part of the arguments passed from the hosting environment to the function.

Functions are (as has frequently been observed in comparisons of impure functional programming and OOP) isomorphic to objects in the OOP sense, and it's quite possible in this model to have one function, dispatching on an argument to subordinate functions (which would not be independently callable over the network), that handles all operations on a logical object or class of objects.
Erm... no. I'll paste a comment I wrote on Reddit yesterday ( https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/60vurv/is_using_cr... ):

> There's a few different thoughts here.

> First, you can generally divide learners into two categories. There's a smaller group of people who feel the need to understand every abstraction and bit of tooling that they're using before they feel comfortable using all of those to build something. The larger group just wants to learn the actual tool or library at hand.

> The reason create-react-app exists in the first place is because "set up Webpack and Babel" was basically being viewed as a prerequisite for even the simplest React tutorial (even though you can use React without any build tooling whatsoever). That presented a large barrier for learning. By providing a one-command project creation tool with sensible (and even opinionated) defaults, CRA lowers the barrier for learning React, and allows experimentation while still having all the "nice" aspects like JSX, class properties syntax, and even hot reloading.

> So, no, it's definitely not a bad practice to use CRA!!! It's a fantastic tool to help you start learning and/or get right into building an application without hassle.

> If you want to learn more about the various aspects of configuring Webpack and other build tooling, there's several resources. If you look at the actual config files included in the react-scripts dependency (which contains the actual CRA configuration and build setup), you can see the heavily-commented list of options that CRA provides. Also, my React/Redux links list has a large section of Webpack tutorials, including some that start from the simplest possible Webpack config and add more options from there.

To emphasize this: what CRA gives you is just a preconfigured project that builds properly out of the box. It doesn't force a state management lib on you. It doesn't force a router. It DEFINITELY does NOT "throw a bunch of stuff" at you. Maybe you have CRA confused with some other tool?
Many spacecraft are launched into polar orbits. For the rest, it takes less fuel if you launch to the inclination of the launch pad. The ISS is inclined midway between the main US and Russian launch sites. Antares cargo rockets launch from a mid-Atlantic launch site because it's closer to the ISS' inclination. SpaceX's new Texas launch site is as far south as you can get in the continental US, and will be mainly used for GEO satellites that want to be on the Equator.

Yep. Everything depends on how fast that methane will get released. It can vary from "we are completely fucked up, good bye" to "that's a rounding error, no big deal".

Methane should be easier to take out of the atmosphere than CO2. Spraying something at the Stratosphere could be incredibly helpful even if the substance is short lived. (But I have no idea what to spray there, would water make any difference?)

Except for the fact that the GST gets remitted to the government, instead of to Uber. Your suggesting is an 5-17% reduction in margin, dependent on province.

Either way, collecting GST on a sale is the norm in Canada, regardless of what happens on the back end.

I hope he's right.

But, here's how he might not be: If cities like SF continue to maintain excess building regulations and "affordability" requirements that actually make it less affordable for most people. Zoning and land use policies are causing huge problems. Anyways, a smaller and smaller percentage of people will continue to prop up these insane housing prices, while a few others either gets free housing from gov subsidies or price ceilings, locking out any new entrants.

LastPass is a Cloud password program + browser plugin

So the extra layer is the plugin that is written by the same developer as the browser plugin. Which is a drop in plugin.

It's all open source so it's much easier for people to check the vulnerabilities. It's also easier to raise issues and other people to help fix them.

Separately Keepass is an offline database, so you have total control over access to it. The overhead of course is using something like Dropbox, plus probably Boxcryptor to ensure it's encrypted before it gets to Dropbox.

I've commented elsewhere here - it's similar to the Keepass bazaar vs the LastPass cathedral. Keepass might look uglier, but I trust it more.
Wow, this is amazing. Seems like magic once I wonderstood what it does.

Like others here, at first I thought it was just another pastebin. I didn't realize what it could do until I read your comment here in this thread. Seems dumb, but I didn't notice I could scroll down for examples, and I also would have had no idea about the browser extension. I would have dismissed this almost immediately had I just visited the page. Perhaps you can make this things more obvious?

Also, any plans for a Firefox extension?

Note: "Wonderstood" was a typo, but I'm leaving it because I like it :)
Even in the off chance that this is a path to reversing aging, there is no way of knowing what the impact would be. Looking at cumulative the trends over the past decades overall life expectancy increased while disabled life expectancy has dropped. So if this has impact, and if that impact is typical, there would be less young people needed to care for the people whose aging was "reversed".
Presumably the same purpose as a dead body.

Congress cannot make any law that Congress cannot unmake. Congress can, of course, prevent a regulatory agency from doing something, because the regulatory agency's power to make law derives from Congress's delegation of that authority to the agency. (I'll leave aside the discussion of how that's totally unconstitutional.)
It's pretty common in the embedded world where you don't have enough flash space-- or don't want to use what flash you have-- to hold a root CA store.

Such devices are usually great targets for learning how not to secure things, because when they care that little they often don't get anything else right either.
Maybe i can clarify: there are many things people would pay through their teeth to keep or get, but not all of those has raised prices like tuition. First of all, tuition around the world hasnt increased like in the us, and the same cultural effect has to be present in the west.

My explanation for it is the debt conditions: if students were able to default on their debts, colleges would not charge what they do for majors that dont provide the value to students: if a student spends 80k for poli-sci but his job cant pay for it, he would default, and the college would lose that money , and hence have an ineterest in pricing accordingly to the value it can provide to its students.

But since the debt is federal and permanent, the college's incentives is to increase the price as much as possible since it doesn't have a sustainability problem: the students and the government do.

Just make the loans defaultable, you would have a default crisis by next month, and prices would crash quickly.
The PhD Octopus (1903)
One of Comodo's registration authorities was breached, but not Comodo themselves. Comodo were able to detect the breach and cut off the compromised RA because they were monitoring what their RAs were doing. Symantec, on the other hand, didn't know that their RAs were mis-validating certificates until I noticed and told them.

(Registration authorities are third parties that perform certificate validation on behalf of the CA. I think Comodo bears some responsibility for delegating validation to an RA that was compromised, but Symantec's conduct has been so much worse in comparison.)
Of course it works that way. If almost all the stores close then the remaining ones can raise prices. If All the stores close, the quality of life goes down and rents go down until it equalizes with a few stores open.

As far as I know that only tells you why it might have had to be Dallas at some point when regional centers made sense. Which changed somewhere around Paypal if not earlier.

I'm not saying that Dallas (or any other city) can't have some, even quite successful, startups. Just that you can't really compete being say "the third to fifth best choice for startups". At that point you're competing with too(!) many different cities. You have to be the obvious choice in a few, preferably large, categories; capture a lot of local talent (which is harder in the US), and most likely both.

There are regulations about what people involved in construction have to wear while they're working. It's not the contractee's sole discretion in that case. But if you're an independent building contractor and you want to come to work in sequined coveralls then sure?

A software contractor can indeed work in whatever they want, but the contract may stipulate some things about that and not doing so would be breach of contract. Obviously a contractor is bound to the terms of their contract.

In this case the analogy is the contractor using their own computer and software to manage their work process, not terms of what the work product is.

Likewise, if they're not an employee and their contract doesn't stipulate anything about behaviour on site than I would expect them to follow the law rather than policies they never agreed to... Is everyone entering a workplace subject to HR rules they've never even seen?

For reference, the things that I was vaguely referring to are described in detail here: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/rc4110/rc4110-e.html#facto...
Where do the rich people get their groceries then. Its clear that service jobs pay a lot more in SF that they do in other places, for the very reasons you mention before.
The biggest problem is that static scheduling requires recompiling your program for every micro-architecture. Anytime you change the latency of one instruction, or add an execution unit, etc, you need to recompile in order to get close to optimal performance. That's OK for some uses (Hello Gentoo Users and Other Genuine Humans), but an enormous hassle for most use cases -- the upshot is that most statically-scheduled code is non-optimal most of the time, and OoO eats its lunch.

The second biggest problem is that cache residency is often not statically predictable, which means that you generally have no idea in what order the various memory dependencies will actually be satisfied, which makes all your effort on scheduling approximately useless.

Those older Atoms were pretty universally terrible, by the way.
I recently gave a "Modern Web Dev Overview" presentation that talks about the history of web dev technologies, the problems that these tools are trying to solve, and how they fit together. You might find it useful: http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2016/10/presentation-modern... .

Also, the "Basic Concepts and Overviews" section of my React/Redux links list points to a number of other articles that describe what these tools are: https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links/blob/master... . To pick out just one as a good reference, see "The State of the Javascript Landscape in 2016": http://www.infoq.com/articles/state-of-javascript-2016 .
It's very clear we have different ideological opinions on the actions of the CIA. The actions of US intelligence agencies over the last decade (at least) is absolutely disgusting.
Best bit is that X11 runs really well these days -- responsive, fast, reliable. Emacs runs great, gitk, xterm, xosview, mplayer window manager, even Firefox is alright. Renoise, Maya, Blender too. Not to mention network transparency when I need it. It's a great environment to get my work done, and 3x hi res displays is the stuff I dreamt of 15 years ago.

So it's a good job we're about to throw it all out and start again, eh folks?

They had us take, I think, a business class each year, covering the basics of interpersonal stuff, interviewing, etc. At the time I thought it was pretty neat.

In hindsight I still think it was neat, but now I know how much was lacking. There's a lot about RPI I find that way, in hindsight, and mostly because of what you said: you didn't really know about them.

The point of affirmative action is that it's impossible to remove race from the hiring equation, because race affects your applicants right up to the point they send in an application. If you say "I'm colorblind", you're also pretending that everyone else in the world is colorblind, and race had no impact on your applicants' resumes.

Race is a society-wide issue, and it's not possible to solve without recognizing and correcting for it. If you close your eyes and ignore it, racism will still exist and continue to affect people. Even if racism disappeared from America overnight, the issue would not be solved because there would still be lingering cyclical effects from past racism. Parents with fewer opportunities raise kids with fewer opportunities because we live in an imperfect world, and these things require active correction.

Am I honestly to believe the tech industry can shoot a rocket into space and do any number of miraculous things, but can't create a solvent cab hailing service that pays workers living wages and basic benefits? The word benefits makes it sound like it's a luxury, but stuff like healthcare and retirement planning is anything but, especially for low income workers. Somehow when it comes to innovation, the last place we want to do it is to helping people in a non-flashy way.

Besides, even without innovation, cabs/ubers can just cost more, or cab company owners (I don't mean the drivers) can just make less profit.

edit: I also think that welfare and healthcare should come from the government and not from companies, but I just don't understand how being profitable enough to pay people decent wages is a political problem at all. Nothing political about this - it just requires making a simple decision to divert some of your profit into something other than shareholder pockets.

Too bad it'll be too late by then to do anything but watch the furries get executed.
