That's an extreme generalisation. Yes, there are philosphers and philosophies that would reject these things, but it's absurd to assume that all do.

You also have to remember that science operates within it's own framework, and assumes concepts of truth that are accepted within this community, such as the scientific method to gain knowledge. But these are presumed to be true, without anyone having had proven them.

Philosophy on the other hand, as a more general subject, even questions these frameworks and has to operate without any pre-given framework. A Platonist won't be shunned by a scientific discovery, since it isn't a threat to it's epistemological framework.

Therefore I say that science is part of philosophy, but this doesn't mean it's wrong or bad. Everyday life proves it's helpfulness. One just has to keep in mind, that there is no proof it's ultimately true, and that all objections are "appeals to emotion". Followers of Scientism, even though they wouldn't say it themselves, do this, dogmatically believing that they are the true way and that's the problem everyone has with them. (I'm not saying it's better when Platonists or anyone else does it, but the others are more common nowadays)

as a current student I see no value in Universities to be honest other than the gathering of smart people in one place, which could be replicated for far cheaper. Everything else can be learned online for free, universities have no value proposition in the 21st century.
Did anyone ever state the discount SES got? To my knowledge all we got were vague notions.

In any case, considering the four-month refurbishment the reflown core may actually have ended up more expensive than a new one. That's okay for now. SpaceX offered a discount to get a customer to fly on it instead of having to pay the launch cost completely on their own. Currently I wouldn't say the discount is any indication about how much cheaper reflying a core currently is. But with the first stage being about ¾ of the launch cost there are of course great potential savings, which is where the 30 % come in.
The only future proof form of web development is being able to write things natively. Everyone gets pissy when you show that maybe their preferred framework or library isn't needed because that means their way of doing things might be replaced. But native code doesn't give a damn.
In the past, I've wrangled with autotools more than I'd care to admit. I spent very many hours indeed perfecting my automake files, configure scripts, libtool and gettext integrations, making sure you can pass in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS as one might expect, cross compiling, with all the .in and .in.in and .h.in files, with all the m4 macros, publishing some of my own autoconf macros, all the while figuring out how to make it all work on Linux, mingw, the various bsd derivatives, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, OS X, Visual C compilers, and what have you.

From the developer's perspective, it is an absolute nightmare – and I consider myself a seasoned professional with the various unix-like systems and their shells. Even with this deliberate care, dedication, and time spent preparing the scripts beforehand, the build usually doesn't work properly out of the box on a new platform.

My mistake was in thinking that the value in autotools system is that you can build a system that will compile for anything. I imagined all you need to do is use (or create) feature tests to sniff out any differences between platforms, and your code will build and work anywhere.

The real value of autotools is for the user. The user can run "./configure && make && make check && make install".

Don't make the mistake I did, thinking that autotools will save you time. It absolutely will not.

Haha - it wasn't marked and I didn't look.
I'm sorry, I really hate to be condescending. I understand there are a range of levels of JS expertise out there, and using either jQuery or an appropriate library represents real value for many.

However, when you're opening a comment with "Hell yeah, you do", I really have to respond.

Hell no, you don't. If you're writing 318 lines of code just to do a cookie warning, that's fine. But please don't preach that it's necessary before actually learning some javascript.

I'm also a bit baffled that it would take an entire 30 lines while using jQuery AND a cookie plugin. What are you doing to these cookies messages???

::EDIT::

I have no idea if the code below works, and it could do with a lot of improvement (thinking about secure cookies, cookie paths, or even just using localStorage instead), but I can't imagine a bit of testing and revision of the code would balloon it to even twice its size. Least of all 30 times its size.

(function() {
var cookiesMessage = document.getElementById('cookies-message-wrap');
var cookiesAccept = document.getElementById('cookies-accept-button');
var checkCookies = function () {
cookiesMessage.setAttribute('class', document.cookie.indexOf('cookiesaccepted=1')===-1?'':'accepted');
}
cookiesAccept .addEventListener('click', function() {
document.cookie = 'cookiesaccepted=1;expires=Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT;path=/';
checkCookies();
});
})();

Having to maintain an older system for a while teaches you more about good architecture and practices then all the theory you can read. People who never had to maintain the thing tend to have very theoretical ideas about what is important and what not.

You don't know whether your code is maintainable until you had to maintain it for a while.

He also says later in the post you can write your own configure with a bit of bourne shell. If you expect your software to be widely distributed, a custom build script is a pain for distributions as most of them are heavily relying on ./configure && make with the appropriate arguments. Distributions also rely on the ability to override certain flags, something easy to do with autotools and quite hard with plain Makefiles (compare ./configure CFLAGS=... and make CFLAGS=..., the former don't override upstream CFLAGS).

I don't object that many projects have convulated and dated autotools scripts notably because they don't age well. It's easy to accumulate a lot of crap.

Most projects don't get autotools because they don't know how to use plain Makefile. They do because autotools bring much more than that.
While I'm firmly of the opinion that full jQuery is a fine choice for most projects, if you don't need `$.animate` or favour fetch over `$.ajax` you might be better-served choosing the slim build or smaller libraries that provide only a subset of jQuery's functionality (Domtastic, Zepto, etc)

"Science vs Philosophy" is a misguided debate. The scientific method answers questions about how the world works. Philosophy discusses how best we should act in the world as it is.

Do they sometimes try to answer the same questions? Yes, and it's usually in the case where philosophical ideas can be, and have in the past, been the best model for explaining phenomenon that we didn't have the tools to measure with science.

Now that that's out of the way...

There is, of course, nothing wrong with the scientific method for examining the world, but Scientism has many pitfalls:

- Biased scientists that only publish research whose results are favorable to their own idea of the world.

- Advocating for blowing up real-life systems in favor of new "scientifically proven" ones, because unintended consequences are a given in complex systems.

- "Scientists" promoting their research for their own monetary gain, regardless of known consequences.

- A culture where anyone who disagrees with the "general consensus" is labeled as an "idiot," even if they back up their claim with showing flaws in the research process.

- Even with good science and valid results, often the recommendation about what to do about the findings is not based in science, but followers of scientism will conflate the two.

Anti-scientism is not the same as anti-science.

Absolutely. Lots of migrants, however, also come to Greece all the time and can't move on. Nobody seems to know the actual numbers, although the incoming flow has reduced after the EU migrant deal with Turkey.

The mechanism works e.g. so that a family runs a tourist hotel on an island; plenty of migrants arrive and there is a camp next to the hotel; tourists feel that the holiday environment at this hotel isn't nice and they no longer come; the family is without work and emigrates to Germany to work there. And also the people who supplied food, cleaning services etc to the hotel are out of work and emigrate.

The family is not racist, they help the needy migrants that arrive on their shores, but they lose their livelihood and have to become migrants themselves.

The situation may now be helped by souring EU-Turkey relations. There are not many tourists from Germany going to Turkey any more. Therefore the tourist industry in Greece could recover.
I mean, 100kb is a big deal when it stops the page rendering, especially on mobile. But jQuery is not 100kb, it's 32kb when gzipped and minified.

I think a better sentiment is that you probably don't need jQuery. jQuery is a great library, but with the modern state of JS, you can probably get by without it and spend that 32kb on something else more useful.

You can get Preact, RxJS-lite and Immutable in total for about 40kb - is that going to be a better use of your performance budget?
I'm completely against banning encryption, and also against the argument I'm about to use, but the devil's advocate to your comment is to claim that if the only people using encryption are the "bad guys", detecting encrypted data on the networks is enough to spot a "bad guy", even if you can't read their data.
Hm, over here, the 3.2-version of jQuery comes in as something like 85Kb, 323Kb when zipped. The slim build under 70Kb and compressed it's something like 20Kb. And there's zepto which comes in at around 10Kb.
Not all do, but I'd say there's a real disconnect between the disciplines when there should be more teamwork.

If Philosophy is going to argue that the scientific method doesn't work, or that the world doesn't exist, we can't trust our senses or stuff like that, go ahead. Has there been any practical advancement on this line of thinking in the last 50 years? do you envision that the scientific method will be revised by anything discovered in philosophy?

> I find it absurd that anyone is still arguing this is a problem, we've just watched the largest wealth transfer in history from the have-nots to the haves but somehow it's those poor immigrants who are carrying the can for it.

One of my former bosses (a British expat who had moved to Eastern Europe) told me basically the same thing in late 2008 in regards to the then fully developing financial crisis: "This is one of the biggest rip-offs that I've ever witnessed". I remember thinking back then "if no world war starts in the next 10 or so years then I guess we'll be good". There has been no world war, just yet, but we've now got Trump, Brexit and almost all of Western Europe being 10-15% away from electing lunatic leaders.
jQuery adds something like 20Kb to the whole site, that is nothing I see as a problem on mobile.
30KB after being minified and gzipped is massive to you?
> everything the conventional media say is probably false

Exactly, and I'll take an example on the gender pay gap situation. Why this one? Because it drives crowds like crazy. If I take this random article [1], and it's a general trend, its title is a lie in the face of the very statistics that its sources are based on (and note that the underlying source isn't even scientifically cross-checked). The title and intro says women are paid $0.76 for a $1. After integrating a few criteria, it says that the measured difference is 2.4% (and that's without even taking into account all considerations). But most people in America only remember the 76% figure, which would depict a disgustingly macho situation... if it were true.

When you hear, let's call them, "mainstream media" deforming a story from 2.4% to 76% and spinning off a title depicting a disgusting image of men (and I didn't even start cross-checking the study, I'm just using the article's own source), it's hard to trust that journalists aren't hugely deforming other stories.

It's not a tiny problem: When the same journalists try to alert on Trump's behavior with women (which probably are crimes, so it's quite bad to elect such a president), they get brushed off by voters as a probably biased piece by an undercover Democrat who's trying to turn everything into sexism (like the article above).

So, yes, credit to conventional media: Not so much.

Obviously you don't need jQuery, and twiddling in the DOM for an Angular app means you are doing something wrong.

However, jQuery is still quite useful and I include it in most projects. It makes various tasks, like event handling, AJAX requests and minor DOM tweaks, quite a bit nicer. Zepto is a good alternative with an almost-compatible API (http://zeptojs.com). I would rather generally that developers used these off-the-shelf tools instead of implementing possibly buggy versions of functions like `height()`!

The defining feature of an immigrant is the act of immigration. Nobody born an Australian is an immigrant, regardless of whether their ancestors arrived by aeroplane, by boat, or by foot and canoe, unless they've chosen to emigrate. There is no technicality by which they can be considered an immigrant.

Many guys I know had very little experience beyond few classes in school. Everyone in our year found a job eventually including weakest students.

Plenty even studied physics or something similar instead of computer science and then got job in company desperate for people on the basis of "you are smart so we guess you will be able to learn". Actually turned out that if you have brain for physics or math, you can learn programming reasonably fast too. (And ended up being better then weak cs students.)

They would not be suitable for all companies and positions obviously, but grasping enough of basics so you can be useful enough to create part of frontend pages/load data from db/whatever with a bit of supervision is not that hard.
You're right: the outcomes of this sort of developments vary widely. In many cases (including, as far as I can tell, my example), they are now inhabited by older people who are quite happy with them.

i just believe the evidence points at high-density mixed commercial/residential housing to be the dominant option. My second example, for example, is from Berlin's historically poor neighbourhood, with unemployment today still at 13% (3 times national average). Yet it's the place where everyone wants to life.

Your example, of London requiring social housing as part of new developments, is the kind of policy that's made with an eye towards such observations. It's not just aimed at creating affordable housing, but something that will benefit everyone living there.
Yes. This comment is why Wirth's law is a thing.
I used http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ a lot when I was trying to wean myself off mental jQuery dependencies. It's nice to know that there are some alternatives too.

If you miss the $ function for DOM element selection, it's pretty trivial to wrap querySelectorAll in your own one-line helper function.
I think the same way, as I'm my mid-30s and I've always only worked for small(ish) companies as a programmer ever since I dropped out of college, but I had a cultural shock recently, as a close friend of mine had to provide a paper-record (don't know the exact English term) with all his college grades when he recently got hired as a software architect by a medium-to-large software company (500+ devs based in several Eastern European cities). I found that crazy, I guess I'll stick to working at small companies for as long as they'll employ me.
I was lucky enough to realize this at 15. I've got to be in the top 1% of high school drop outs. After you get to a certain level professionally everyone just assumes you have a college degree anyway.
Though I've been using it less and less with the rise and convenience of vdoms, I always found that the most useful and delightful bit of jQuery is its treatment of nodesets as proper ordered sets, and that many of its manipulatory methods properly work on sets.
While I wouldn't support using antitrust laws against Facebook, as I don't with Google, because using either is basically voluntary. I'm often surprised at the different treatment the two receive, in that regard.

Polls might help you understand why Australian politicians do what they do on immigration.

Only 28% of Australians want more refugees:

http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2016/05/17/most-australia...

A clear majority of Australians 69% (up 11%) support immigration (of 210,000 in 2013/14) remaining the same 37% (down 10%) or increasing 32% (up 21%) while 26% (down 14%) want immigration levels reduced and 5% (up 3%) can’t say.

http://www.roymorgan.com/findings/6507-australian-immigratio...

Given that the intersection of the groups who want more refugees and lower immigration is likely to be small it's clear that what Australian politicians are doing is pretty close to what Australians, when polled, would like.
"axiom" is two letters shorter than "theorem", so no, brevity doesn't cut it as an excuse. The difference between an axiom and a theorem is, undoubtedly, germane to a thread about the different ways we can know things.
>I shouldn't have done the gymnastics to decouple them!" .. but that's a dangerous mindset to start solving the problem with.

Is it, though? YAGNI comes to mind.
I don't mind Make for small projects, but it can be a bit of a nightmare for large ones - there are some very unwieldy Makefiles out there. It gets more complicated when you want to have several libraries and/or executables in a project, each of which link against different external libraries. I've always found CMake makes this much easier IMO, and while the language is a bit janky, it does the job.

The Goldman Sachs graduate training program is a joke. Having gone through it, I doubt that technical training is even the point of it. I think they just get everyone together to have a big holiday so that when the graduates start real work, they have that prebuilt network to help them out. Thats not at all a bad thing, but their technical training is rubbish.
A little bit of philosophy bashing?
Ok, why not, let's start with a old joke from former soviet Eastgermany :

A mathematic, a biologist and a physicist are flying in a hot air balloon, but got lost.
Then they see a men jogging under them, so they get lower and the biologist shouts to him:
"Hey you, where are we?"

The man looks up, but does not answer.

Then the physicist shouts:
"Hey you, can you please tell us, where we are?"

Still nothing, but then finally he shouts back: "you are in a hot air balloon!"

"Ah, a philosopher" says the mathematician.
"How do you know?" ask the others.
"Well, a) he took very long for his answer, b) it fits with objective reality and c) it is totally worthless for us."

(the main job of the philosophers back then and there was to defend the Marx-Lenin Philosophy to the people, where they tried to prove them, that the people are on the way to the best of every possible society, but people still complained about not having toilet papers)

Then a line I remember from Thureau:
"We have Professors of Philosophy, but no Philosophers."

So, to get more serious and a wildly speculative hypothesis:
maybe Philosophers got so bad overall, because they tried too hard beeing regarded as scientist, when maybe their field is not really approachable with scientific methods. At least not main parts of it.

Because there is a big, maybe infinite world, which we can't (yet) explain properbly with math. And maybe there are some areas, which you can never describe with math.
To get a bit esoteric:

The Tao that can be told, is not the eternal Tao ...

This is in my opinion the purpose of Philosophy. Think freely and create modells about those areas.
Philosphy as the art of wisdom. Trying to understand complex worlds, which you cannot put in (finite) numbers.

Humans for example.

Because we are more than just some numbers and can't be reduced to them, which is, what is sadly more and more happening. And philosophers trying to be, what they are not, might be a cause to it.
Might work, although it might not carry the same weight as full blown criminal proceedings.

Now if you could show that the chilling effect was detrimental to something like business in the state, that might be better.
When we talk about falsification in modern science, we usually mean falsification through empirical experiment. It must involve data from the real world.

If you include thought experiments based on nothing but arbitrary axioms, a lot of crazy claims about supernatural beings and other metaphysical curiosities would also qualify as falsifiable. I'm not sure whether you'd like to go down that rabbit hole. Science is about understanding the actual physical world that we live in -- not some fantasy world no matter how internally consistent it might be.
