I work on the design system side. In size of Airbnb, you need some kind of design system, since the product fairly large, its changing every week, it's built for 4-6 platforms at the same time by dozens different teams and designers. Without a system the product design and therefore the product becomes chaotic and inconsistent over time.

I do think that design systems can be helpful for smaller, or even 1 person teams as well. It helps you to apply meaningful constrains for your design and reuse common components across the product to shorten development times.

With the library we have both designers and developers can construct completely new views or modifications fairly fast. https://twitter.com/karrisaarinen/status/849733176150773761

Where the React-Sketchapp comes in is help us to keep the system up to date for designers, and in the future build other tools that can help the design workflow.
It's legal on highways, e.g. "any roadway on which traffic is restricted to one direction of movement"

I lived in Massachusetts for 3 years and routinely passed people on the right, sometimes even in the breakdown lane if it was open for traffic.
There is GoTools (https://github.com/SINTEF-Geometry/GoTools) and SISL (https://github.com/SINTEF-Geometry/SISL). These are open-source geometry libraries for parametric surface modeling, that include NURBS surfaces and intersections and trimmings of such.

Intersections are computed approximatively within some prescribed geometrical tolerance, and intersection curves are "marched out".
There are no jobs there. If you're lucky enough to have job security in a low cost of living part of the country that might work out, but otherwise it's not such a great idea for most people due to high unemployment and lack of high paying jobs.

And that's aside from all of the other issues such as friends, culture, things to do, and, frankly, local politics.
Hailed by whom?

That sentence is immediately followed by:

> "No medicine, no drugs," raves one ad

Note the word ad.

So most of the hailing, possibly all, was in advertising copy.

The article mentions advertising and marketing several times but makes no convincing case that those without a financial interest in selling the goods believed the claims.

And quite likely most of those selling the products didn't believe them either; many were just the latest in a long line of quacks selling snake oil and neither knew nor cared if it worked or not, it was just a cool name to attach to product.

> Our system issues credit against land.

as far as I understand it, no, it doesn't. the currency issued against NOTHING except "the full faith and credit" of the Federal Reserve. the only thing backing the currency is the principle that loans made by the Federal Reserve will be paid back, with the stated interest, no matter what.
The Trump reference is valid, he is POTUS. Despite the 'independent' claim, the agencies of the government are often influenced by their masters. There is only 1 Democrat currently on the FCC board, the other 2 (despite being nominated by the former POTUS) are Republican and since gaining the chair the GOP led (i.e. Trump) FCC is rolling back Obama initiatives that were in support of the Open Web in favor of Trump / GOP initiatives that favor the 'free market'.

I'm not sure I see evidence for anti-gentilism. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say over-sensitivity, or paranoia. But accusations of anti-semitism are being thrown around far too freely.

Reminds me of all the "Lets make a battlezone like shooter"-gamedevs who dropped by on the Spring-Engines dev site. And yes, you are perfectly capable to do that.
And no, it wont work well- for the reason, a RTS-Engin has a built in lower physical Simulationframe update- and is allowed to act "slower" to commands then a shooter. So, if you want that shooter to happen- engine rewrite it is.
Having driven in both countries, I think that has a lot to do with the extremely steep tolls on French highways, and the much higher gas tax. I believe Germany also has a higher rate of car ownership and the average population density is higher.
Don't you get a point on your driving record when driving over 10km\h over the limit or was that 20?
While that came about as a form of corporate abuse, the scene in the movie was less about corporations abusing public roads to improve bottom line, and more about a specific corporation trying to kill a specific farmer to take his land!

CTRL+F for "So they were on highways today on
those trucks"

The whole scene is about Big Corn trying to take a specific plot of land whose owner would not sell.

In that situation, it's less about the dangers of autonomous vehicles, and more about corporations are willing to murder others. The next scene involves guns and fighting.
I was a heavy Flickr user for about 5 years and I have to disagree with you.

Facebook certainly brought photo sharing to the masses, but most Flickr users were actually "a bunch of amateurs obsessed with lens quality", at least the active ones. Most of these didn't move their photography to Facebook but to other sites like 500px and later Instagram.

I agree with the article, Flickr died because Yahoo let it rot.
The state fears challenges to all previously issued traffic violations similar to that challenged by this guy. That'd turn into a legal and financial nightmare. Hence the subversion

No. It's a lack of "populated" regions at all. The problem being described is that the population density is too even.
Good.

Why start at college? I am amazed that we don't have open source textbooks and materials created cooperatively across the entire education system.

Absolutely, you need Atlas Shrugged on the bookshelf to understand the mess we find ourselves in.

The most amazing thing is the hypnotic scam that has been pulled, on us that makes us believe this is all our "lot in life".

Court rejects Uber executive's 5th Amendment argument in case against Waymo
Ok, I'm almost convinced now. I do have friends who come over and don't want to bring their laptops, esp. people with kids. Perhaps I will try it.
I think that the honest answer is currently we don't know for sure.

Pickety's argument amounts to (IMO) that this is the mature state of our current system. Capital generally grows faster than labour and (if it isn't spent), accumulates over time. I think he also implies that it's brought on (or exasperated by) prolonged peace.

One of many ideas... "Capital" is defined (often explicitly) primarily by it's income generating potential. The iconic economist's definition of capital is factories, but most capital today is almost entirely abstract. Companies are some IP, but mostly it's just people. Contracts with people, cultures of people.. Banks are neither. Banks are mostly capital and contracts relating to capital. What does destruction of capital even mean today?

I Krugman's point is tautological. If capital s big relative to labour in a company, that company is by definition labour intensive. "Capital" in modern times just means the amount of income that capital generates. Thinking in terms of factories is (IMO) just wrong if the economy isn't mostly factories.

In any case, I don't think we know what's going on with any useful degree of certainty.
Petrol consumption is often best in cars at around 45mph (70km/h), so one effect of increasing highway speed limits not mentioned would be worse fuel economy.
This is a pretty disappointing list.

First, the items do not tend to be mutually exclusive - there's a lot of overlap with each other. I interpret that as a sign of poor organization. It makes the whole thing hard to follow.

Second, most of this stuff isn't remotely evidence based! Plus, there's no way to understand the effect size even when some technique does have evidence supporting it.

Overall, this is too much of a data dump to be helpful. The author should have ranked ordered these items based on the cumulative evidence supporting each one - that would have been extremely useful.
Lessons learned from the failure of Ubuntu Touch
And, potentially, pull you over for complying with the speed limit if the normal rate around you is large. Either way, you could lose.
What's the story on that footprint, anyway? We went from (from memory) ~250-350MB Win98 to ~700-800MB XP to ~10-15GB(!?!?!) Win7, and just up from there. Plus the default settings seemed to starting going really crazy with swapspace/caching around the time of Win7. Another 10+GB if you didn't tell it to knock that crap off. Why the sudden, giant shift? They didn't add 10-15x the features, that's for sure.

A minimalistic Turing-complete language is usually not very useful. Nobody seriously programs in Brainfuck.

It is entertaining to look for corresponding patterns between formal languages (programming languages) and natural ones. For example, defining new words is essential and corresponds to procedures. What about templates/generics? I think the concept of adverbs and adjectives comes close. You take a generic word "car" and specialize it "blue car". Natural languages have namespaces, but they are implicit. A jaguar could be an animal or a car depending on context.
This is true but personally I would rather see this shift to something closer to +10%. Going 35 in a 25 mph residential zone puts anyone not in a car in significant danger. Going 27 or 28 doesn't change the risk nearly as much.

This rule of thumb still allows for 61 mph on urban freeways and 77 to 83 on rural interstates.
> Then try again.

This is very important, as well as, as you say, just doing it.

You (the general you) have a better chance of going on a date if you ask ten people than if you ask only one. You need to be able to handle that not every interaction will be successful, that sometimes people are not interested, and then you just cut it short and move on. Since it's important to get as much practice as possible, it's better to have ten short conversations at the coffee machine, in the elevator, and so on during the day, than one prepared line to say to the person at the front desk as you leave for the day.

Another suggestion to practice talking to people is to approach people who work in clothing stores, cafes, libraries, and so on, and talk to them. They get payed to talk to you, and will make an effort to make the conversation be pleasant for you. You probably won't have the deepest conversations, but the idea is just to experience what it's like to small talk with people. You can either talk about clothes, books, or coffee, or tell them something small about your day and see if they pick it up and asks a follow up questions.
I think you may be misreading me. I'm not saying they are imminent. I am saying Uber's business model sucks without the lower costs they deliver.

Anything that delays them means Uber burns more cash subsidizing cheap prices to hold back competition.

And once they do arrive, competitors can enter the market with lower costs.

Or, maybe Uber isn't losing as much as it seems? (Estimates are $2+bn/yr) Or there is some moat that protects them? I just don't get it.
It could argued though that if Yahoo had cared about Flickr it could have become Instagram.
I have noticed a tendency for many slow, timid appearing drivers to prefer to campout in the left lane because it gives them the least amount of interaction with other highway traffic.

On a typical 3-lane highway, the right lane will have many big trucks, plus merging traffic entering and exiting constantly. The center lane puts them right in the middle of all the chaos, getting passed by other traffic regularly on both sides. In the left lane they can set their cruise control to 5mph below the limit and squat.

Even when there are lulls in the amount of traffic, many times I have approached this type of driver from behind in the left lane, paused to see if they would move over for me to pass, and they almost never do.

Disclaimer: I like to drive 5-10mph over the speed limit :)
You know, architecturally, at application level no one wants to deal with this but devs orchestrate nightmarish dependencies for deploys and hit 'endpoints' with aplomb
in service architectures with only a playbook or data blueprint to follow. What's the point of fighting this?

So your argument went from "its economically infeasible" to "I don't like it!"?
They tried speed cameras with warning signs on the highways in Phoenix, Arizona. They also had mobile vans with automatic cameras to catch people that weren't paying attention. The population mostly refused to pay the tickets and used every legal means available to dispute them, from ignoring the letters until served to fighting the tickets in court. Some people wore masks so the photos couldn't prove they were driving. Others did some shenanigans like registering the car to a cooperation which somehow couldn't get a traffic ticket (not sure that really worked). Still others installed reflective glass that would obscure their license plate when the flash went off (though that was quickly made illegal).

I also believe it came out that the company providing the cameras was getting a cut of every ticket issued, leading to a tendency towards false positives. The program wasn't profitable for the state and people complained so much that the cameras were gone a short time later. I remember most people would slam on the brakes just before the stationary cameras, cruise through at exactly 64 or 74 mph (the cameras went off at 10 mph above the posted limit) and then accelerate to whatever speed they wanted. It was way worse than people just speeding.

Maybe it works well in S. Korea because the incentives aren't so screwed up, but here in the States "Cameras" mean someone is getting a cut and the people are getting screwed. The camera's get set up in the best places to get revenue (downhill when the speed limit changes from 65 mph to 55 mph around a bend so you don't even see the sign before it's too late).
Professional journalists write like this, because journalism is intended to be consumed "statelessly"—i.e. with no assumption of previous knowledge.

Writers for "progress announcements" blogs like this one, don't tend to write in this style, because these writers know that the only interest anyone would have in a such a blog is if they already knew what the subject was and then wanted to subscribe for updates.

Which is to say, deep-linking to a progress-announcement blog from another website is basically almost always entirely useless, and the webmasters of such blogs would actually do well to disable it entirely (e.g. with a robots.txt policy + a server-side hotlink-detection redirection rule) and just suggest that people interested in sharing the announcement, should instead write a few lines of "actual journalism" on their own blog about the release, and then share that.

People who like linking directly to primary sources would hate this, but sometimes primary sources are not in the easily-consumed essay or encyclopedia-article styles that much of the modern web has become. Sometimes a primary source is just a commit log, or a diary, where you need to "go back" to get any context. The primary source gets to do what it likes; it's not beholden to the Internet. If someone wants a good summary to share, they're beholden to write one.
It does have a 5.4 user score on Metacritic, and the reviews marked as "most helpful" on Steam are mostly negative. I will say though that it surprises me the game is not rated lower on Steam given the Metacritic score. Probably related to the fact the game released before the introduction of Steam reviews, and most people unhappy with it never ended up leaving a review there.

Itch is predominantly a platform the indie dev scene and game journalists use, and that was the crowd that liked it.

From the other popular "walking simulator" games, the Stanley Parade seems to be the most well-received one.

Not all software engineering positions, or software engineers for that matter, would achieve their highest productivity working from home. Some might, but certainly not all. I think of it as more of a spectrum where the more you know what you need to get done and how to do it on your own, the better you are spending the day at home. And this can vary from day to day.

There are many benefits to working from home, as well as working in an office environment, but my point is that commutes will still exist for many software engineers for a long time.
The stuff we see in Wisconsin for example, IMO, is directly connected to the 1980's rhetoric and sentiment around unions that never went away.

While both sides have perfectly valid arguments for and against unionization, there is no compromise or middle ground to be found, only partisanship from the politicans who are charged with finding compromises, who have the power to make and break unions.

I do agree with your point about efficency declining, but I also smell a fish when it comes to partisan politics surrounding unionization of workers. Both sides seem too concerned with ultimatiums and heel-digging.

Surely there is a way to compromise, but if neither side will sacrifice you can't get anywhere at all.
I find the US much more stressful to drive in, because you have to constantly assume that people don't use their turn signals when changing lanes randomly. You obviously also have to do these dangerous lange changes because people drive slowly for no reason whatsoever wherever they want (e.g. most left lane).

I have noticed that a lot of people change into the middle lane for no reason at all. This results in you having to pass on the right, especially if there is a slow driver on the left lane. So now you have to change 2 lanes to pass 2 cars....

Fact is, if you learn how to drive well and everyone else does as well, then driving is not at all stressful. You can still use your cruise control in Germany, just not on the left lane (if you are going 80 or whatever).

One thing that I've noticed in the Golang community, is that there is some disturbingly large number of programmers there who think it's a very good idea not to use prepared statements and instead to use Input Escaping.

https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/62513u/golang_persi...

The justification? Better performance. Didn't the PHP community go through the exact same thing years ago? (With people finally giving up and going back to prepared statements for safety against SQL injection.)

It's so widespread that there are multiple libraries that tout this as a feature!

If they need self-driving cars to be profitable, they might as well hang it up, seriously its not happening for a long while. I don't think that is the case, however.
But if we could remove that feeling with a drug, would we want to? Could we find enough pleasure in other things to keep us satisfied?
Look, you're not wrong. But you have to remember that none of that matters, because I can put the following notice out, and any government prohibition of such is a big payday for me:

"I, JB Reefer, am God, command you to stop driving. I am the king of all engineers, president of space, etc etc etc"

and it doesn't matter. You really do get to say whatever the fuck you want in this country, as long as it doesn't cause direct harm to someone else. There's no "this doesn't apply to job title" caveat.
The idea behind React Studio is awesome.

I think it would be super cool if React Studio could automatically create a GraphQL api based on the structure of the component data.

We are already doing small experiments in this direction at Graphcool (for example graphql-up https://www.graph.cool/graphql-up/)

Do you think anyone at Reract Studio would be interested in talking more about this? They can ping me at soren@graph.cool :-)
A year or two ago when I was running the SageMath booth at a conference a woman (with a Eastern European accent, I think) walked up to me and said "My son co-founded Hackpad. Their company recently got bought by Dropbox. I was so happy because he said now he can finally eat!!"
> Pickety's argument amounts to (IMO) that this is the mature state of our current system. Capital generally grows faster than labour and (if it isn't spent), accumulates over time.

From the article:

> Then there’s the idea that landowners, not corporate overlords, are taking money away from workers. While analyzing the work of French economist Thomas Piketty, Matt Rognlie found that national income accounts showed an increasing amount flowing to owners of land.

It's worth noting that in Rognlie's analysis, once we take away the effects of land, the return to capital ceases to outpace production.

Anyway, as far as explaining the non-productive forms of capital we have so much of today―I'd simply conclude that they're not capital at all... Henry George's definition of capital, for instance, excludes them―he made a (IMO very neat) distinction between "Value from Production" and "Value from Obligation"[0] that is a very useful way for considering things. In time, things like "GDP" cease to seem very accurate or meaningful.
