> Many developers believe multiple monitors improve productivity.

That's simply because it does. You cannot tell me, or others for that matter, that a tiling window manager arranged across multiple monitors keeping everything relevant just a glance away is a useless feature and offers no real improvement in productivity.

> Humans can only focus on one thing at a time. So why are we spending money to display multiple things simultaneously?

Because utilizing even keyboard shortcuts to switch virtual desktops is slower than glancing left or right. Also, if you wish to compare the contents of two applications having them both displayed at once is a huge advantage.

> I ran a 34" LG ultra-widescreen monitor for a month. At first, I loved it. But after a few days, I was surprised to find my opinion soured. It was far too wide to maximize my windows, so I found myself spending too much time fiddling with windows.

If this was really a concern for most people, how have tiling window managers managed to flourished in recent years?

> Both Mac and Windows support virtual desktops now.

Which is why in my case I can still be very productive on my Windows laptop, but even more so on my multi-monitor desktop running i3.

> But I don’t waste cycles on this arrangement either. The far left virtual desktop is always my browser, the one to the right is my editor. So I treat virtual desktops like physical screens that reliably present the same content.

Wait. So why did you have so much trouble arranging applications before on a single wide screen? Why couldn't you just arrange the applications contained within these virtual desktops across a wide screen in the same manner?

JS still puts the bread on my table. Not the perfect solution, but it is in high demand.

FE:

I'm surprised the OP didn't mention Elm [1]. Elm is not ( maybe yet ) popular enough for production uses ( at least outside of Silicon Valley ) and the better alternatives ( TypeScript, Flow ) are actually JS with sugar.

Frameworks

BE:

NodeJS is much more than JavaScript itself. It is quite easy and cost-effective. Because of NodeJS we have "full-stack developers" again ( I'm coming from Perl CGI Scripts - when everyone was "full-stack" back then ).

Go is super strict about it's formatting, so you practically have ES/JSLint in the compiler itself. I don't see a big problem in this sense.

My interpretation is that it is a fancy cache using a new type of memory, XPoint, a non-volatile phase change memory, with greater endurance (and cost) than NAND sitting on the M.2 bus, combined with OS drivers to assist with the mapping.

The idea is M.2 speed > SATA, but the dynamic M.2 caching isn't native to the OS, so drivers are required to intermediate.

Pretty underwhelming relative to the hype.
I do see it as ethics, but you are right.
Careful. Plenty of STEM fields have much better gender parity than tech. Tech is singularly bad among the STEM fields; only physics is competitively bad. Mathematics, molecular biology, stat --- all have strong female participation. Worth noting: all these other STEM fields are also heavily dependent on software and computer technology, and women do fine in them.
and I think it is reasonable to assume that is a process that begins in childhood, when their minds are malleable

Is there some defect in human minds which makes them extremely susceptible in childhood to "racist bullshit" in particular, above other ideas?

which assumes some kind of fair marketplace of ideas where the right thing always wins

Well, it certainly would always win in the minds of reasonable and just people, would it not? If you believe "the right thing" won't win in reality, is that not saying something about what you think of the people in question?
To be clear, you are laying out the premise that by reacting to racism at all, I am revealing I secretly believe it is more right than anti-racism. Does that sound about right?

Why are you so eager to police anti-racism, then? By the same logic, if racism is right you'll be fine.
Yes, and it should be. I took it for granted that this sort of argument is already applied to celebrities. The unexpected/counter-intuitive part of my claim is that it should also apply to the people writing one-off tweets that they think are harmless and that nobody will read.

> Third, this may actually push up the prices in other countries.

That's the whole point. As mentioned in the article, the US disproportionately funds new pharamaceutical research. Other countries currently receive the benefits of this, but at a much lower cost.

So any system which reduces the prices in the US will either require other countries paying more for what they're already getting, or less research and development for the entire world.
Nobody.

You lose SSD transfer speed, while gain _some_ hardware response latency.

NVMe response latency (on hardware side, not OS) is around 14-15micro-seconds on reads, and tops out at 200micro-seconds on writes [1]. Which is nearly 2-3 orders of magnitude below spinning rust. While Optane can halve this to 7micro-seconds on reads. The price/pref vs established NVMe tech is non-existent.

When I can spend $X/GB to get a 2000% performance bump, its hard to justify spending $X*4/GB to get 2050% performance bump. Most applications/data centers have yet to transfer to NVMe. Offering marginal gains a sizable markup is a risky strategy.

Furthermore Optane is nearly 2 orders of magnitude lower than RAM in latency, and 5 orders of magnitude lower transfer. So the idea of "non-volatile RAM" has yet to arrive.

Also "Transparent to the OS" should strike fear in your heart. The OS's job is to manage hardware, memory, and caches. Why drop this?

When NICE decides not to fund something they have clear evidence that it is worse than current treatment, not just that it is more expensive than current treatment.

That's not true at all. Kadcyla is superior to current therapies for HER+ breast cancer. NICE has decided not to fund it because it's too expensive.[1]

But the reality is that the price of Kadcyla is currently too high in relation to the benefits it gives for it to be recommended for routine commissioning in the NHS, even taking into account the end‑of‑life criteria and the patient access scheme.”

A level headed manager asserts that the goal of a business is to make money and outreach isn't the primary goal of a for-profit company. Such activities are fine as long as they don't create secondary conflicts. This triggers a fusillade of virtue-signalling Internets.

The Independent article I linked specifies that it's talking about the Sentinelese of North Sentinel Island. The account it gives is from a researcher who was involved in the contact efforts the Wikipedia article you link briefly mentions in the paragraph that begins, "In the early 1990s. . . "

Also, look at the Wikipedia page for North Sentinel Island. The two articles give different lists of encounters with the Sentinelese that are only partially overlapping.

One of the reasons Everett is talked about so much is because his claims are controversial. Many linguists have criticized his methodologies. I have a background in linguistics but have never looked into Everett's work too thoroughly, but from what I have seen I am skeptical of his claims that Piraha lacks recursion. Still, an interesting line of inquiry and it would be nice if there were enough linguists to actually generate a wide body of research on the many endangered and minority languages. As it stands now, most languages are dying out almost completely undocumented.

I used to _love_ multimonitor setups, but one of my employers had an open office with many different areas to work, including bean bags and other casual furniture that didn't have space for monitors.

Being away from your desk without the claustrophobic feeling is nice, and with enough tweaks I think you can minimize any negatives that come from the smaller screen.

"aggressive tech code reviews/debates/arguments/chat where young males love to beat their chest"

You mean passionate engineers and developers discussing ways of getting the job done most efficiently? It's a little crazy to ban this rather than encourage women to get into the discussion. If they aren't as passionate, then maybe they should be in a different career.

I find it funny that many were trying to say men and women were the same. Now it seems those same people are saying not only are men and women different..but the men are doing it the wrong way. I guess we are different after all.

Many people get into the tech industry because of the money..and end up leaving because they don't realize it's many times time consuming, humiliating, and mind-numbing labor. You really have to love it to stick with it. I've been in the industry for 20+ years and I almost never get bored.

"Some flexibility on hours/location when children come."

The common thread running through all of this was that what seemed to drive these women from their own roles in tech were the incompetence or inexperience of management.

I'm young enough (born in the late 1980's) that during my entire time in the work force, I feel like I've only ever met ONE "real" manager. I've known many people in management roles, but I think we've definitely lost sight of what good management even looks like. If you're under a certain age, I wonder if you've even met a real manager before. From today forward, many of the people in management roles may never have met a real manager before too - how are they supposed to fill a role they've never seen before.

I think we need some good management role models, and we need to find a way to encourage people in management roles to grow to fill this.

I don't have any studies or hard facts to cite, but consider this - I feel like part of the role of a manager is to bear responsibility and deadlines, manage the workers and give them the access and tools they need to succeed. But what I see most often is managers (not doing the work) acting like slave drivers, pushing all of the responsibility and pressure of meeting the deadlines on the workers to stress about. I see lower level workers staying late after work, taking 'ownership' of their manager's responsibilities out of fear they will get fired. That's not what it's supposed to look like but unfortunately for most millennials it seems to be the common experience.

Sigma and power aren't for loops, but they do represent the melding of iteration and operation - the key is your definition of the sigma above - silly computers are always trying to 'do' things, and often math can simplify problems too big to 'do' by fiddling with representation - so I do agree with you, I just think you're being cruel to the for loop example :-)

The Distracted Mind: Multitasking, Task Switching, And
> Has attracting a blog audience become harder?

I've been involved with the Internet virtually since it began, and we're now in its third phase. The phases:

1. Forum for technical discussions and data transfer.

2. Soapbox for social communication.

3. Virtual mall.

The "virtual mall" identity is now so strong and all-encompassing that if you're not selling something, people begin to distrust you -- the opposite of the instincts present in phases 1 and 2, where you were distrusted if you were selling something.

So my advice is to write blog posts that include links to relevant (or irrelevant) products. This strategy assures that, regardless of the blog's content, the fact that it links to products or services assures that someone, somewhere will reciprocally link to it for purely commercial reasons.

I know this sounds cynical, but it's true -- nothing assures an audience as reliably as linking to a product who cares about your link and who -- for self-serving reasons -- is willing to link back.

I get appeals almost daily from commercial interests to include links on my site to their products -- on a payment basis, of course -- or reciprocal links, but I've always turned such requests down. Consequently, my website is now located in a kind of purgatory reserved for sites that haven't caught a train to the present or exploited their content (and their audience) to the fullest.

Nineteen Eighty Four by Orwell. I read it in high-school and it helped seed (or at least exacerbate) a strong sense of distrust for government and its agents.

What is an average really?
No - Polymer is not a web standard - Web components are (https://www.webcomponents.org/specs) - and are implemented as a standard (its not fragmented all vendors agreed on v1.0, chrome, safari, opera already ship with them, MS and FX are close to follow) - polymer is just 30kb on top of that to make your life easier. This is exactly what you described with asm.js.

It just happens that out of all libraries that help you create web components, polymer is probably most widely used - well, angular 2.x can technically output web components too, but I don't want to compare a framework with library. But you can mix those components with other solutions (like x-tags, skatejs, bosonic, "pure components" etc.), they are interoperable, I even have them cooperate with legacy jquery application.

> one point of Sapir-Worf is that aspects of different languages reinforce different concepts and ways of thinking

There is a link between whether a culture's language requires temporal markers and various economic markers.

"For example, a German speaker predicting rain can naturally do so in the present tense, saying: Morgen regnet es which translates to ‘It rains tomorrow’. In contrast, English would require the use of a future marker like ‘will’ or ‘is going to’, as in: ‘It will rain tomorrow’" [1]. It is found that "speakers of [timeless] languages: save more, retire with more wealth, smoke less, practice safer sex, and are less obese."
