Unfortunately between the pervasiveness of CGI and the economics of today's film industry (a lot of the money comes from non-US and action works a lot better than dialog there), a lot of films get overwhelmed by action sequences these days. SFish (and superhero) films are certainly among the worst offenders but I find a lot of movies these days seem to have a decent core that's overwhelmed by 10 minute fight scenes or whatever with loads of effects.
They have improved this a great deal on the FireTV device where Prime content now has its own "Channel" just like HBO, Showtime, etc so you can separate what is Prime and what is Amazon Instant Video

on the Amazon Main website you have to click "Included with Prime" to get the prime only content

Over the last 6 months I've finally had the chance to a big bulk of my working hours to my main side-project, and it's taking shape very nicely. This is after starting it 3 years ago. Time and concentration are the biggest hurdles to getting anything off the ground.
I have the strong feeling that there isn't much money in software tooling.

That is just semantics. I am arguing that a nuclear shutdown event would have different long-term effects today. In the short term of course, fossil fuel plants would still be able to pick up the slack, but there would be a larger share of natural gas than in the 1980s and were the shutdown to last longer it would be less costly to set up renewable energy plants. People in this thread are also using the article to argue about new nuclear development rather than only unplanned shutdowns. I am countering that failing to develop new nuclear energy no longer automatically means more coal pollution.
Embedding css into a webpage forces this css to be loaded every time. Even if the css only contains what's needed for the page, it can still be a lot. Caching it is just common sense. I think if you try and calculate, there will be a lot of bandwidth saved if you separate css into a file.

If you have compilers and GUI tools, how does it matter than the underlying layer is HTML+CSS+JSON? The designer shouldn't see it anyway.

Now that we have a web-aware platform (which NeWS was not), nothing stops us to create good UI tools on top - yet it is happening very slowly.

That is because they massively overcharge for unbundled Internet Service, you will pay for Cable TV, even if you do not want want it

This throws back to the Phone Companies and DSL where you had to buy a bundled POTS line to get DSL.
Both. CLJS is actually super fast, even on mobile (I test on lower power devices such as MOTO G4). The SPA is also pretty small if you keep dependencies out so it loads ~2-3s on a phone. That's with a large SPA with about 100+ React components.

Stack:

- It's CLJS with Datascript (huge DB), Rum and nothing else. That way I keep my js-file small (currently 170kb gzip'ed).

- Server side it's Pedestal, Cassandra, Datomic.

The tooling has always been leiningen and that's stayed consistent. Libraries are still the same on the client side. cljs.core + closure library gives you 90% of what you'd ever need. I don't use a single NPM library (Except React). I don't follow the latest fads in js-land anymore. IMO it's an ideal stack that is fast, small, stable and has much more features than anything in JS world. I don't need the latest and greatest transpiler (ES6, 8, 1000 or whatnot) since I can just use a macro that does this for me. Figwheel is incredible and should warrant anybody in the JS world to consider switching just for that... Productivity is amazing.
> And today we have this very impressive counter-example of Google putting some engineers to work for months doing vuln research for making, in the end, EVERYONE safer: Apple users, Samsung users, and hundreds of other mobile device vendors who use this popular Broadcom Wi-Fi chipset in products shipped to 1B+ users.

This highly technical work is awesome, really. Yet the sad and unrelated part is that this will not trickle down to the massive amount of Android users that won't get any security fix in sight. Yes, carriers and vendors are entirely accountable, but in a way Google is definitely at fault too and should be using all its might and weight to pressure vendors into updating, and carriers to stop fscking with tailored ROMs and having a say in whatever the phone receives as an update. This is not a technical issue but a political one, that Apple sidestepped on the vendor front thanks to vertical integration but took a hard stance on in front of carriers.
> There are times when I sit back and just think, wow, how amazing is it that computers work at all knowing the things that do go wrong.

There is a special category of bugs named for that kind of feeling, they're called schrödinbug. The idea is that once you've noticed that something couldn't work it promptly stops working.

It's more about giving people an extra reason to buy/keep a Prime subscription, similar to getting the Top Gear guys on board (Top Gear was the BBC's most syndicated show, and was massive all over the world, apart from the US). When you have the free shipping, you might buy that jersey at a later date. Amazon generates so much revenue that they can afford to take the long view with initiatives like this.

History has way more moments where guns were used for terrible things that good things.
Not anytime you want, but anytime the contract allows.

The expectation is that a company is much more aware of the risk tied to a contract it enters (f.e. by having it examined by a legal department, requiring the supplier it wants to buy services or goods from to first sign their own contract that lays out some ground rules etc), and is generally much more professional in handling such situations.

You would wish that normal consumers also read their contracts carefully and understand them, but in reality they do not. So there is a long list of laws in place to protect them and "level the playing field" between unsuspecting consumers and corporations.

/I am UX designer/

UX is becoming more differentiated, more different UX roles and positions will occur:

UX Researcher - is already there

IA Architect - will be more common

UX Analyst - is collecting and interpreting data from Keboola-like tools (or "Hadoop-based" tools collecting data about user base), providing additional data to UX researcher

"Prototyper" - coder responsible for technical clarity of coded prototypes and their preparedness to be inherited into production

UX designer - responsible for synthesizing data from research and applying them into the product/service in proper context; preferably a people-person, as he/she connects all other sides

I can't tell if you are justifying a call to child protection services in such a case, or not.

No. Absolutely not! I'm horrified to read stories where that actually happened.
Nuclear killed a lot of people already and will for the next thousands of generations. There is still no proper prospect of how to get rid of that poison.
That's not comparable to any other technology.
That's why nuclear energy needs to demolished and banned.

I think you really need to appreciate and get into the 80s nostalgia. If that doesn't work for you--or you just don't have the cultural background--the [EDIT: book] probably isn't for you.

If it was about a topic or era where 90% of the references meant nothing to me, I don't think I'd have liked it either.

Personally I loved it even though I was never a hardcore gamer in that vein and I know others in the same boat. But I certainly get your criticism.
> If you gzip data over the line it's already compressed. So minifying your stuff will only help you a little.

For small files you might be mostly correct, but for larger ones min+compress can product much better gains than compression alone.

IIRC the algorithm used employs a rolling compression window, and can only match strings of tokens whose distance apart is smaller than that window. IIRC the default window is 8KBytes and the maximum is 32KBytes. Even if you use the maximum at the expense of CPU time that isn't going to cover many large files. Minifying increases the effective range of the compression window, each match is shorter but you will find more matches and usually this balances out in a way that benefits the compression result.

It isn't quite that simple in reality as there is huffman encoding and other tricks in the mix. This means that even for inputs smaller than the compression window you may see some benefit as minifying can reduce the input data's alphabet significantly.

Ignoring the "why it helps", it is easy to show that it does help in a great many real cases:

ds@s2:/tmp$ wget --quiet https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.0.min.js
ds@s2:/tmp$ wget --quiet https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.0.js
ds@s2:/tmp$ gzip jquery-3.2.0.min.js
ds@s2:/tmp$ gzip jquery-3.2.0.js
ds@s2:/tmp$ ls -l j*
-rw-r--r-- 1 ds ds 79201 Mar 16 21:30 jquery-3.2.0.js.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 ds ds 30023 Mar 16 21:30 jquery-3.2.0.min.js.gz

In this example the result of min+comp is less than 40% the size of the result from compression alone.

For completeness, minifying alone achieves less than compression alone:

-rw-r--r-- 1 ds ds 267686 Mar 16 21:30 jquery-3.2.0.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 ds ds 79201 Mar 16 21:30 jquery-3.2.0.js.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 ds ds 86596 Mar 16 21:30 jquery-3.2.0.min.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 ds ds 30023 Mar 16 21:30 jquery-3.2.0.min.js.gz

One further factor is CPU time consumed on the client decompressing and parsing the content but this is likely to be insignificant compared to the network or local IO time, if a device's CPU is under-powered enough that this is significant then it is unlikely to be able to run the decompressed code with useful performance.
Hi. Certainly, my comment would be applicable to any open source library. But my intent was not to say that OSS software is difficult to get by patent attorneys. Rather I was attempting an inside joke with kindred spirits who have submitted OSS libs to their company's attorneys for patent infringement.

What they seem to do is hire a grunt to do a naive word search match on the patent database. So I was saying, "just imagine the number of results that will come back for 'spreadsheet' or 'Excel'".

The Streaming services charge by Concurrent streams

Cable TV is fixed. I have 4 TV's in my home, only watch 1 at a time, rarely 2 may be one at any given time. So I would have to pay for a 2 concurrent stream account. With cable I would have to pay for 4 Boxes 24/7 just for the option of watching TV on them.

I remember the days where you paid for Service to the home, not service per device. then the FCC gave the cable companies a special exemption to allow them to start Encrypting the signal that is when they started to screw people over on the Box fees.

I cant wait for the day the Electric Company can charge be by the outlet, and then start charging me more based on the type of appliance I plug into said outlet
It's actually a reference to the Holodeck[1] in Star Trek (Matrix even has the same arch design as the Holodeck but which doesn't appear in the Dreamatorium). But you're not too far wrong as the Dreamatorium in Community was also a reference to Star Trek's Holodeck.

There would be more deaths if Japan and Tepco would not pour billions of dollars into collecting as much waste as possible.

The waste of Fukushima is still an unsolved problem that will eat many billions more (see https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/03/11/world/asia/struggling-...).

In fact, even when your reactor does NOT explode, you still have to manage the waste for 10,000 to 1,000,000 years (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_waste#Long_term_manage...). The radioactive materials are not only deadly due to their radiation; most of them are also highly toxic.

So even without a meltdown, you risk many lives in the future. Just because not many people have died yet does not make it a safe energy choice. Who in their right mind can guarantee safe storage of the waste for 10,000+ years?
If all freedoms granted by the GPL are ensured downstream by the CDDL, why is it considered incompatible?
Thats just the business around UX not UX itself.
If thousands of engineers are looking for something to build that others will pay for (but can't find it), then that tells me there is something fundamentally wrong with the way the economy works. Shouldn't it be the other way around? People who have a certain need express it, and engineers just pick one and work on it.
I don't think a refund is necessarily sufficient legally. A customer has a contract with a supplier. That contract doesn't usually say (whether express or implied) that the supplier can arbitrarily terminate the contract with just a refund. So doing so would still be in breach of contract.

Legally, the remedy for breach of contract is to make the injured party whole, and that includes consequential damages. The customer may suffer consequential damages in excess of the price paid for the product (eg. "After buying your product I bought a new garage door to suit your product and now I have to get a different one to use with your competitor's product since the next best thing requires a different specification").

Offering a full refund is still entirely appropriate of course; I'm just pointing out that the customer doesn't have to accept that as a final settlement.
This reply is correctly refuting an argument that I'm not making. If I was saying that the gun homicide rate anywhere in the EU & the US was comparable I'd be wrong, as you say it's off by orders of magnitude.

What I am saying is that comparing homicides by weapon type ignores the big picture, which is who cares in the end whether you're killed by a gun, a knife, or bludgeoned to death? You're going to be just as dead.

The availability of guns in the US means that when there's a homicide or a suicide it's vastly more likely to involve a gun than in the EU, but people focus on that statistic and assume that magically taking away the guns would drastically improve the situation.

That's not supported by the data. The people of Lithuania, which for some in the US would match some ideal they have of restrictive gun laws, manage to kill each other at a higher overall rate than pepole in the US, even though they have gun restrictions to the point where only 1% of those homicides involve a gun.

So yes, if you look at the US by firearm related death rate[1] alone it looks like a 3rd world hellhole. But comparing countries by death rate by specific implement makes no sense. Instead you have to look at the overall homicide rate[2] and the overall suicide rate[3].

Once you do that, several countries in Europe look worse when it comes to homicides, and the US is exceeded by the likes of France when it comes to overall suicide rates.

> Take Mr. Robot, for example. It's has a LOT of classic cyber punk tropes, with one big difference - it's not "science fiction" anymore. It's just a present day, present technology fiction.

IMHO Mr.Robot doesn't really work and just uses the classic "hackers == Juvenal idealistic freaks" trope which is getting old. Black mirror is a better show. But none of them deal with the loss of humanity through cybernetic enhancements which is more what GitS is about. We don't really live in that era yet.
Although someone else already commented that he's a contractor and not an employee, I still wanted to explain this a bit more.

To me, the most outrageous part was this:

> The cherry on top of this disastrous situation was that throughout the entire process I only heard good things from my manager. In total I had 3 1-on-1's with him, and even though we discussed the situation and what was wrong multiple times, he never, for one moment, gave me the impression that my job could be in jeopardy. A few weeks later I was fired.

I'm not a lawyer, but there's no way that would be acceptable under Dutch law (if he was an employee).

You can definitely fire someone if hey are not performing. But you'd at least need to warn them about their performance, and allow them time to improve.

It seems like what you're really taking issue with is overpopulation, because crowding is inevitable anywhere with high population density.

The first person you fire in that scenario is the person who thought all of the above was needed to dispatch a small number of cars to pick people up. I'm going to go out on a limb and imagine that that person is the general manager. After that I would fire the ops team, the ios and android devs as the entire solution could be handled a very simple non flashy website running on cheap web hosting.
The human species is just not build for logic. The process seems to be:

1. Search for a heuristic

2. Glue Logic Bits to the found heuristic

3. Generate a coherent backstory for heuristic

4. Query parts of the Backstory to check the heuristic.

5. If Part of the Backstory fall apart, reconstruct

6. If reconstruction fails, have a crisis.

7. If crisis continues, start to think it through for the first time or

8. Solve by discrediting facts (aka believes)

Its very efficient. The only time, its not completely efficient is during youth, as this is the time, one has to carve out a thiefdom for oneself. Also a slight trait of intellectual sado machismo helps.

I think to get normal people to think and question believes, education as proposed is a rather lousy tool, applied often too late. If you are tempted to question "everything" at 21, that phase of your life is almost over.

Kindergarten age and first years at school, should be ideal- basically teachers should weave in wrong "days" where they would tell falsehoods, and reward those discovering and questioning.

Good luck with that. Also, the new album from Mastodon is killer!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it is fairly easy to detect the noise generated by this kind of tools and retrieve the real history, for example: users can generate a bunch of fake entries in their browsing history but if at the same hour every day they visit the same websites, well, that is some regularity that can be exploited.

Anyway, history can be sold even with noise, in this case users will see mostly ads about products in which they are not interested in, which could be, I think, much more annoying.
Of course we do. You need to update your ken on nuclear and stop being willfully ignorant. Spent fuel is fuel for breeder reactors, at the end you sit with material that is less radioactive than Guarapari beach.

You blame the nuclear industry, I blame my own party, the Greens, and their relentless demonising of the one thing that could have reversed doubling of atmospheric CO2, and I forgot how many times sea C02 levels. And you and your anti-nuclear agitpop is pulling us further into this mess. Please educate yourself and stop being part of the problem.
