When discussing static-vs-dynamic typing and the argument from the dynamic advocate is "I don't want to type types everywhere", the debate is over.

There are a few valid arguments in favor of dynamic typing - but that isn't one of them.
thanks for the link - i've never seen that before :)

Whilst the complexity of the script is limited in what it can do, it seems actually not that hard to imagine some kind of next-gen CDN offering edge scripting to statelessly rewrite requests and responses.

Nowadays, when a family member is asking which "antivirus should I pick?", my answer goes along the lines of "just install uBlock Origin, activate this and that filter and allow it in incognito mode. You can do it on your own, it's super easy and super effective". Even better, this also "fix" most of the "slow computer" complaints.

>really a systemic problem at Uber?

From Susan Fowlers' article:

>When I joined Uber, the organization I was part of was over 25% women. By the time I was trying to transfer to another eng organization, this number had dropped down to less than 6%. Women were transferring out of the organization, and those who couldn't transfer were quitting or preparing to quit.

Sounds kinda systemic.
If we could go back to self-hosted ads without scripts, cookies and other forms of user tracking, without autoplaying videos and whole-page overlays, I'd be much more willing to turn off my adblocker.

Working effectively in remote teams – Part 2

Why 25 years? Why not 20 years? Or 50 years?

We have been told that copyright makes it possible that authors can live from their hard work. This interest needs to be balanced against the needs of the common good. It is known that free access to information encourages innovation.

Some works need more time to generate revenue for the authors, others hit the market furiously and could be released after a short time.

Therefore I propose a minimal copyright time of 5 years from the date of publication. After that the owner sets a yearly fee to be paid by the owner. Someone can buy the work out of copyright by paying a multiple of the fee.

Say the copyright should last around 75 years. The owner declares to pay a fee of $10,000 the first year after the minimum of 5 years. The multiplicator could be then 70. If someone pays the owner $700,000 the book will immediately and irreversibly fall into public domain.
Anyone using it in production? How does it differ from other possible products/solutions?
> It is less intrusive. Flow's type system is built on annotations which are simply stripped away at runtime

> as opposed to writing in another - albeit similar - language that gets transpiled to JS

How is a nicely typed bit of flow-code different from the equivalent TS? If you make actual use of the type system in either of Flow or TS you should end up with code that looks a lot like Java or C#, with generic types and functions etc.

It's nice that you can do it gradually in flow for an existing codebase, but it's still no difference once properly applied in full.

Why? LLCs are pass-through entities. US residents will get taxed as income, and non-US residents will not have to pay any tax if their income is not effectively connected with a US trade or business (which basically means that employees do not do any of the work within the US).
I started, ran an sold an ad based business in 2008. To say that most of the activity in the ad space was dubious back then is a complete understatement.

Most of our traffic to the adverts was generated, purely to syphon off money from the advertisers and we established this by fingerprinting the traffic with JS tools at the client side. This was what let me to the conclusion that the business is dysfunctional, the customers at best are getting wildly ripped off, their privacy effectively sold off and they open themselves up to huge amounts of malware too.

Advertising is a horrible business model. But until a new way is found, people/businesses don't have any other choice of marketing their activities.

I totally stand by the publication. Any publication that really cares about it's readers will try to find another way.

Opinions are bound to differ so I do appreciate your point. I personally found Cygwin a nightmare to install, a nightmare to maintain, and a crash prone on every system I used it on since XP. While you're right that MinGW is only a subset, it did address the issues I raised with Cygwin which made it a better default environment for me most of the time; falling back to Cygwin on those occasions MinGW couldn't fulfil. But frankly I generally try to avoid Windows where-ever possible so it's possible you have more experience with Cygwin than I.
I'd be curious in which ways flow is more intelligent than TS.
Regarding #2, I've edited.

The only explanation for your position that I can muster is that you're being intentionally obtuse to try to claim ignorance of behavior that would work against your arguments.

Consider the sports team that was accused of raping a girl, which was then found out to be false. Consider the case of the kid who brought that disassembled clock to school, and the initial outrage against how he was treated, before all the facts came out. Consider the violence committed against Sikhs by people who don't know what Muslims dress like. Consider the outrage against the woman who sued McDonald's when she spilled hot coffee on herself. You simply cannot be on the internet and not have seen such examples setting precedent for uninformed outrage, the media benefiting from it, and fringe sites claiming whatever to drum up their own counter-outrage to grab new niche audiences.

These situations are "common" as in commonly occurring, and even a subset around them related to social issues have been common enough to form the well-traveled "SJW" moniker, in both positive and negative lights.

Moot argument. If everyone charged for their time creating content on the internet, you would buy the best quality content. Newspapers had this model for decades, worked for them.
> empirically terrible things

Sorry but there's no such thing. Justice is relative. In many countries you can be considered justified in murder while simply kissing a person of the same sex or protesting can make you be locked up. In fact, If you want to argue that killing someone is empirically terrible, people avoid jail for it all the time if they're on the winning side of a war, in self-defense (in many countries even for defending their honor), or if they're of a high enough status (rich people and cops/politicians). Assuming that only bad people go to jail is naive and assuming jails are only full of bad people is generalizing.

I think if the program is opt-in, that a lot of the inmates could appreciate such a program.

I know if I was in jail I'd like to partake in such a program, I could use more hands-on skills with electronics, and recycling is always a good cause :)

Some jail programs can be really good, like the program for helping inmates adopt and care for a rescue dog. There was also a program at a jail here for repairing and donating broken toys.

I think these kinds of wholesome efforts are very important to look for and support.

I've been saying that the ad model is broken for a while, and prescribing a real fix for it: a new form of native advertising that actually benefits the user. My company, PLEENQ[1], makes it so users can hover over an image and click on the individual products within it to go where they can buy the product. Here's a demo video: https://youtu.be/V_oTtDUV0yI

My solution is to basically build features around the content of sites that enhance the areas of the site that already attract the users. More importantly, it simplifies the revenue model that the article talks about -- people click on your links and make purchases, and you get a share of every single purchase (CPA). The important thing is that it's compatible with any other revenue models a site might use. If, like GroundUp, they take donations, then it's just an extra revenue source on top of that.

I looked on GroundUp.org for building an example video of how that would work so I could show the community, but it doesn't really fit the model of PLEENQ. Regardless, there are a vast number of niches that this new form of native advertising would drastically improve the revenue for. Imagine an auto blog showing a picture of an engine, and you being able to hover over any part within the picture and purchase it from Auto Zone.

Another thing is that it can be used to split between revenue generating links, and informational links. Perhaps you have a news site, and a lot of your articles have pictures of politicians that your users might not be familiar with -- how about hovering over that person and being able to click on them to go to their Wikipedia page? I think that would greatly benefit a user browsing the site, and wouldn't cheapen in any way the experience of the site itself (in fact would greatly improve it).

Well, back then we didn't have a composited desktop, so when the browser was out of view, no drawing was taking place. I kind of wish we would still have the option of programs just drawing directly to the screen rather than caching everything in private back buffers, but still use modern graphics techniques. I have a hunch that would actually be faster, since cpus have severely outpaced memory.

Ah the good ol' tired "why don't you take refugees into your own home" argument. Why would I need to host them when I don't need to host a jail? The same thing with orphans and refugees. The government provides space for them paid for with my taxes. I don't invite every homeless person I see into my home permanently, doesn't mean I don't care about them or believe the government should combat the issue or open more shelters. Trying to put the onus on me saying "why don't you do it if you care so much" is just lazy deflection from the actual issue and a sad attempt of absolving anyone else of responsibility.

Anyway, you invented a whole solution which had nothing at all to do with what I said; I never advocated against jails or anything to the effect, please improve your reading comprehension and construct better strawmen to sidetrack me with.

On the topic of enterprise features and specifically, Hashicorp Vault, I did ask Hashicorp sales if it was possible to trial Vault Enterprise (for the UI) without the pre-sales dance and was flatly told "no".

This kind of attitude really rubs me the wrong way. On follow up from their sales I simply told them I opted for an open source UI from Github.

While I want to support the work Hashicorp are doing, I want to be treated as someone who understands that I don't need to spend money on the product. It's a concern to me that as these open source projects find ways to monetise they start to slowly make their way back to the type of ecosystem that I wanted to avoid in the first place.

The very presence of anti-censorship in the 1st amendment is the reason many people in the US get outraged when companies censor views. They view free speech as a fundamental right, even though the 1st amendment only applies to the government.
I'm a strong opponent against type annotations in JavaScript. JavaScript only have a few types: strings, numbers, boolean, null, undefined, and Symbol (ES6). And annotating them feels stupid. Feel free to use Flow, Typescript et.al. but let the type inferencer do the work, not you. You should only have to think about the abstract meaning of the code. And pick good names for variables and functions.
In order to catch more parameter errors, your functions should throw errors if the parameters are incorrect!

Tom Dale does a good job explaining how judicious use of TypeScript may prevent the CoffeeScript problem: a language that slowly diverges from JavaScript because of all the syntactic features it introduces before they end up in JavaScript as well — with a subtly different syntax.

I wonder if there is a change of TypeScript becoming a full-fledged part of the ECMAScript standard?
Revenue is about $6000 per month and the costs for running the site are probaly quite low, minus the costs for the owner himself, so maybe monthly profit is around $4000? So given the formula for non-internet companies which are valued around 2-3 times the annual profit, the company would be worth around $120000.

Additionally consider these facts: the site is quite popular and has gained some traction but is still primarily interesting for a specific niche (startup founders). I would say the price for acquisition is at least $500000 and may very well be around or above 1 million which is even more likely because the owner has agreed to continue work on the site and growing it even more.
Wrong on all counts.

I say this as someone currently writing a native desktop app and someone who doesn't like Android (having shipped substantial Android and iOS apps):

Android apps are not incredibly slow compared to native apps, and the ones that are aren't due to Java. Android has always _used_ the JVM, just not run binaries _on_ the VM – they created their own (Dalvik) because they couldn't ship a Java virtual machine, so they shipped a virtual machine and played bytecode games so the thing that ran wasn't Java bytecode, and it wasn't run on a Java-compatible VM.

Also, Android has and will be running on the JVM, because they're transitioning to OpenJDK.
