They are basically going to be DOSing a huge segment of users who've previously had that header set on their browsers...they're also violating the OMB mandate that requires TLS for all government sites...it is a rather strange move, I can't imagine there is a good reason for it.

That was true of the DSP-1, but not true of the SuperFX or SA1.

The DSP-1 was a preprogrammed microcontroller that preformed certain calculations that would have been inefficient to preform on the SNES CPU. The inputs were written to a memory mapped location, and the outputs read back. An interposed copier could simply redirect these reads and writes.

The SuperFX and SA1 used the cartridge's ROM and RAM for program and data, and therefore these enhancement chips are placed between the SNES bus and the cartridge memory. The cartridge memory is unavailable to the SNES bus while the enhancement chip is executing, as in the SuperFX, or the the enhancement chip enters wait states while the CPU is accessing the cartridge memory, as in the SA1.
In general, they blame environmental regulations rather than market forces. The area is full of urban legends about how the natural gas power plants are vastly inferior to coal fired plants, but they're being upheld by a cabal of evil liberals who want to destroy the industry because ???

From the page I found, "more Americans have died from installing rooftop solar than have ever died from the construction or use of American nuclear power plants". On average, nuclear is safer. The likelihood of another Fukashima is even lower now that it's happened and been documented.

Meh about [2] - house cats and glass&steel skyscrapers kill an awful lot more birds than that. There is absolutely no outcry against either; that's how we know the outrage against windmills killing birds is planted and artificially kept alive.

Altamont Pass, the first big wind farm, is the worst, with row after row of small wind turbines across a narrow pass in a mountain chain. It's a veg-o-matic for migratory birds. Those small turbines are obsolete, and are gradually being replaced with bigger ones.
One option might be to take a training course for the PMP certification exam and the PMP exam itself, if you meet the qualifications. While the PMP has its detractors (and not without justification), it does enable you to "sling the lingo", so to speak, and also shows you're committed to making the change.

You're probably also going to need to shift your role at your current job so that you're overseeing projects, whether just as a senior engineer doing technical leadership or as an actual manager of people, instead of just coding. (Do not, however, ignore your coding skills; anecdotally, most software PM positions are for technical PMs and may still require a demonstration of coding skills. Non-technical PMs have a much harder time finding jobs.)
Yes definitely! We didn't want to complicate the repository, but from a few in-house experiments we already know that it is possible to improve the rotation matrices by:
1. First aligning to a reference language (English)
2. Then defining a new reference as the mean vector of all the languages for each entry in the training dictionary
3. Re-align the languages to this new reference "language"
4. Iteratively repeat 2 and 3 to convergence

As you suggest potentially this mean language is itself really high quality word vectors; but we haven't looked at this yet...
In this particular case I don't think it'll matter. All the big distros have (thankfully[1]) standardized on systemd. At least we now have something to point the systemd haters towards, I guess.

[1] I doesn't even matter too much to me _which_ solution we have as long as it's reasonable (e.g. upstart wasn't) and a reasonably complete daemon supervision solution which can actually capture the output of the daemon's it's running, etc.

Exactly. Really reminds me of proofs in geometry. You amass this knowledge or ruleset, then apply that knowledge in successive steps to solve the proof.

But, the bigger part is being able to step back and "see" the path; to pull from what you know to approach the problem and formulate a solution.

Seems like there were three groups: those who just couldn't get it; those who wrestled and muddled their way through; and those who just kind of got it, almost intuitively. The latter is a minority, and I would bet that an outsized percentage of those people really can learn to code.
Tried to read this article and am now unsure if it is just extremely erudite and beyond my ability to grasp or just complete horse shit.
The human labor required to produce a MWh of electricity from utility-scale wind or solar plants is significantly less than the labor that went into producing it from older fossil plants. The growing employment numbers you see in solar/wind right now are mostly an artifact of rapid expansion. American coal plant construction employment is about zero right now and all you see is the operational labor; solar/wind are growing quickly and what you mostly see are the temporary construction jobs.

See e.g. my comment here (search for "Nucla"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13749769

A utility scale solar farm can be more than an order of magnitude more productive per employee than an old coal plant.

So can a utility scale wind farm. MidAmerican's Wind VIII project has 40 permanent jobs and generated 3,622,316 MWh in 2016 (10.33 real annualized megawatts per employee).

https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/browser/#/plant/58886/

(The EIA data for Wind VIII is spread across these sub-projects.)

Utility-scale wind and solar are also thriftier with labor than nuclear plants.

Old coal plant: 0.87 real annualized MW/full time employee (0.57 megawatts per employee if you include the fuel mining jobs)

New AP1000 reactors at Vogtle, assuming 90% capacity factor: 2.5 real MW/FTE

Desert Sunlight solar farm: 9.8 real MW/FTE

Wind VIII wind complex: 10.3 real MW/FTE

"Devuan can be adopted as a flawless upgrade path from both Debian

That is nice, to have a supported path of simply add sources, signing keys and apt-get dist-upgrade. Impressive work.

I'm personally not convinced there's a viable near future for Linux without systemd (not counting the mess that is android (as a potential workstation / server distro) - I think Debian/kFreeBSD is a better path.

The problem you are experiencing is an interesting one. It turns out conservatives understand liberals but think they are misguided. Liberals, on the other hand, do not understand conservatives and, therefore, think they are evil.

I think the different parts are confusing.

As a dev learning about it for the first time, "Action Creator", "Store", and "Reducer" don't mean anything. Is "Store" a database connection? "Reduce" sounds like functional programming, sounds hard. Why "Action Creator"? Aren't actions objects that I can create with "new"?

For me, I also didn't understand the value in splitting it into those pieces - when I was learning Redux, I kept wondering "why aren't these just pub / sub events? Can't you do this with an event bus?"

I think most devs aren't used to learning new high-level patterns. Most know MVC, maybe a couple others, but I think Flux / Redux are a bit more complicated (by nature) than that. I doubt anyone interested in Domain-Driven Design or Clean Architecture would have an issue picking Redux up, but those devs are the exception.
This post is misleading throughout.

The article shows snippets from the Redux and React Router docs, implying they are realistic examples of the way that typical React code should look, however, they are clearly snippets which are trying to show the entirety of an API on one screen. If your code is just a bunch of snippets copy-pasted from docs without much thought given to the structure of your code, your choice of UI library isn't the problem.

On React Router, React Router is not React. You don't need to use React Router. There are plenty of stable pure JS routing libraries, which don't release new versions often (or ever, because they are 'done'). Nothing about React requires you to use a React-related routing library.

The author found Redux and MobX too complex for their use case. However, Redux and MobX are not required to use React (there seems to be a theme here), and probably not useful if you don't have a big single page app with a lot of client side state. Implying they are intrinsic aspects of using React is wrong.

The bits at the end:

you will need to import in your scripts react-dom and react without never using the last one instance for some wild reason known only by the React team

The react and react-dom packages are being split so react-native doesn't have to pull in dependencies which are only used on the web. Not that different to Rails splitting up into a bunch of gems.

you can render functional components just by using js functions but you will need to wrap all your markup always in a wrapper tag to properly allow the Virtual DOM creation

This was an architectural limitation which is going away in the next major version.

its apparent simplicity is hidden behind a whole toolchain you need to configure before you can even writing 1 line of code

Why complain about this but refuse to use create-react-app? It literally solves this problem.

I started my app with React 15.5.0 knowing that my code is deprecate before even starting because facebook has just announced that for the next major release they are planning a complete rewrite of the framework and this means that they will likely nuke the current source because it can be no longer maintained.

This is FUD. The team has said that the next version of React will have some small breaking changes, but the API will remain almost completely the same. Not sure what they mean by 'nuke the current source' though.
this, people at work won't recognize me at home.

Netty is hardly the example of a hype driven framework. I'm not sure when it was first released but I've found references from version 2.0 in 2004. It may be older than HAProxy.

Netty is a far more robust, faster, and easier to use framework for TCP proxies than the one the author cooked up and I'm getting downvoted like crazy for saying it.

It's also used internally by Google, Twitter, and netflix. It's embedded in the GRPC library, Cassandra's database driver, Play framework, and Vert.x among many others. Check their related projects page https://netty.io/wiki/related-projects.html

Netty is a phenomenal project, and had the author known about it, I doubt he would have spent the time writing his own TCP proxy.

The right-hand side of the menu bar can be helpful in application-like modes (like gnus or M-x list-packages). I agree you might as well turn it off otherwise and regain the space.
There are also plenty of blog posts about people moving from c++ or java to hyped technologies. Or blog posts about people failing horribly with matured technologies. Today's hype seems to be complaining about other people's hyped choices. You can't know all the reasons that made people select a technology unless you were there. Generalizing them into a group of people that make hyped choices they will regret is nonsense. Could have equally happened if they chose a non-hyped technology because most likely you go on incomplete information anyway.

So we can either summarize authors post with "don't make choices without thinking", which is kicking in an open door, or "let's blame people for choosing hyped technologies", which is no better.
There is a good point in this article about the perception of effort and how that affects comprehension, rather than the medium.

I've met and worked with many people who think that just because it is being read through a computer that they don't have to read it carefully.

As a so-called 'digital native' with an unapologetic love for text, I find it extremely frustrating that people don't take online text seriously. Some people even like to speed-read, racing through text faster than they can recall the pronunciation of the words.

You might think you can speed read and still understand the content - most of the speedreaders I know hold that belief quite dear - but you aren't getting the whole story. A single missed word can profoundly alter the meaning of a sentence. I've seen many conflicts and miscommunications caused by lazy reading and misinterpreted messages.

If I took my time to write a clear, concise, meaningful message/email/post/document/etc, please pay me the courtesy of truly reading it.

There are dozens of cities in the U.S. that want to be the next hub for young tech entrepreneurs, and most of them have more financial options than Kentucky, which is among the most dependent state budgets on federal dollars. Additionally, young people are socially and politically liberal, while KY voters overwhelmingly elected staunchly anti-LGBT representatives and were strongly in support of Trump.

I think it would be pretty hard to convince even the most disillusioned Bay Area or NYC software developer to move to rural Kentucky over e.g. Pittsburg or Portland.

I saw a fascinating talk on Redux, I like the idea of how it manages state and the whole event sourced approach to that.

I've repeatedly tried to get Redux going with either React or Vue but have found it surprisingly hard. Many outdated seed projects and installation instructions made it somewhat painful.

I've played a bit with React from the more recent create-react-app and that got me started with some of it. I haven't been sold yet, I realize that I want something to cause the events and update the DOM but I haven't been sold on why React is best for that yet.

Always annoying when you try to approach some tech and have a hard bounce off of it.
This is a crappy ripoff of the Nestpick story that it links to.

No idea why they picked "30 under 30", since the original list has 100 cities (10 in the US, btw), and Millenial is defined by basically no one as "someone born after 1987".

And this also isn't based on any surveys, but on Nestpick ranking factors they think millenials care about.

So a more accurate title would be "100 cities that a random website thinks millenials would prefer"

Who is nitpicking here? My parent? Me? You?

We are all just trying to help someone be more correct. For me at least, it isn't because I wish to nit pick. Perhaps you could have had a more useful comment by not adding your personal anecdote and instead providing a citation?

The other responder to your comment is correct. It is entirely perceived and there is no real change in luminosity and thus brightness is the incorrect term.

I was offering my insight as both a graphic designer and amateur technical 3D artist with solid grasp of color theory and optics. Meanwhile you just butted in to tell me I'm wrong and I shouldn't tell other people they are wrong.

That's a conflicting position, and furthermore the person I was replying to was correcting someone else, and I was clarifying for both of them. So I really don't know why you felt the need to comment in the first place.
