The question skips some details. Are the clones used for a specific reasons in completely disconnected teams, or have mixed have purposes in the same area? Do they all use the same source of truth or do they replicate data/accounts? Is it because of 2 separate groups not communicating, or a failed/incomplete migration?

There are many reasons you may end up with 2 software packages with similar responsibilities. It's not always good or bad. All things being equal, using the same software everywhere means everyone if familiar with the same interface, potentially lower costs, easier automation. But things are rarely equal ;)

I'd say: know the reason why you have clones to begin with and not a common solution. And maybe check it from time to time, in case the restriction is not relevant anymore.

Consider studying in Netherlands if you look for programs in English.
Yes, exactly. Learning a foreign language not widely spoken outside of Europe, while also taking college-level math and science courses is a high barrier to entry. This is the primary reason Germany is able to pull this off. If a high-quality college education were free in an English-speaking country, say Australia, there would be a lot more international students willing and able to enroll there. After graduating, you could take the degree and move anywhere in the English-speaking world (work visa permitting). In Germany at least, they assume because you achieved a high proficiency in German there's high likelihood you'll stay and work there for at least a few years after graduation. In a way, this is also true of the job market -- if you're able to get a job in Germany, or Italy, Sweden etc, anywhere where the language is not used widely outside of that country, then you have proved your qualifications and dedication to the country enough to warrant a work visa.

Also many Ivy Plus schools offer free tuition to international students who qualify for need-based aid. US taxpayers subsidize these schools indirectly through the tax-exempt endowments, corporate income and federal grant money.
Great article! My only feedback on the article is that you cite sources (maybe I missed it).

I find the Western Union and Hayes espionage story emotionally appealing but I couldn't find any serious sources with a quick Google search. The Rutherford B. Hayes Wikipedia article mentions neither Western Union or any sort of spying/espionage.
> I am aware of those extensions. There is a difference between some features/extensions and core principles.

Referring to a core library as an extension that isn't in line with core principles just sounds... Wrong.

> I thought this thread is about community and not extensions so much.

For something to be taken by the community, and willingly added to the core library, suggests a level of embracement within the community. Hickey himself weighed in on typed [0], embracing it with praise, despite the fact it may go against his personal values, he doesn't see it going against Clojure's values.

Static typing simply isn't a core value for Clojure. Thus:

> Conversely, if I am a fan of static typing and compile time constraints, should I expect a warm welcome pushing those ideas in Clojure and Ruby communities?

Absolutely.

> And there are many examples of haskell folks treating others with a constructive approach too on various topics outside of the "cannon". I'm not sure what you're implying here, or are if you're referring to a specific case (however, tallying up some cherry-picked anecdotes may not be so useful)

I agree, anecdotes here may be entirely unhelpful. Yet, I know I am not alone in saying that some of the haskell community is warm and embracing of newcomers, and yet there are also those that clearly reject newcomers, instructing them instead to learn mathematical concepts or the right words for the right concepts, and not guiding them to do so.

I've been using the DW Pro 2 and absolutely love it: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/phone-headset-wireless-call-cen...

Can't say I care for the QC35, I've seen it have significant microphone issues sometimes if you are using it for the headset feature.
True, but reading the intro and background/prior work sections takes approx. 5-10 minutes. And depending on the length of the paper, these sections may be pretty succinct and therefore not very helpful to a reader unfamiliar with the state of the art.

I agree. You can usually understand the general contributions and how they work at a high level pretty easily. But intuitively and deeply understanding a paper takes much more time from my experience. Again, YMMV.

I also have almost zero experience with analog haha! I'm going to be taking an intermediate course on analog circuits next semester. I'm interested in jumping into the field of analog hardeare security, so it's a necessary first step.

Major Report Prompts Warnings That the Arctic Is Unraveling
Archivists are in the business of preserving the past and like most people, they tend to overvalue what they are familiar with. But most old art, like all art, is mediocre and very much of its time. After that, it quickly loses its value. And therefore preserving old art is only somewhat useful. Some works are good enough to stand the test of time, but those are in no danger of disappearing, because continuing interest means that natural commercial forces keep producing copies from generation to generation.

Even if all the archivists of the world lost their minds for a generation, we would be in no danger of losing the works of the Beatles, Hemingway, and Scorsese. What we might lose are large numbers of works by their less accomplished contemporaries. Would that be a real loss? Yes. A big one? No. And that's why it's simply not that important that the archivists succeed in preserving everything.
I'm still not convinced it's not an act. The guy would have to be unusually dense to govern with ignorance of both a priori and a posteriori knowledge. The greenhouse effect was discovered over 100 years ago, not placed on a napkin as a hunch in a bar 10 years ago.

I love how the story ends with a loving discussion of cycling competition and thinking of safety by way of helmets. Meanwhile, as smart as the narrator might be, it's funny how easily things can be overlooked.

Cycling is one of the most cheating, dirty sports in the world. Sprinting is close, so is swimming. But talking about cyphers and codes and then somehow getting into a discussion about cycling just reminds me so much of Dr. Ferrari and Lance Armstrong.

If you're not cheating, you're not trying. If the FBI is on your tail, you've screwed up somewhere. The devil's in the details...

We do business in several countries, and the US is the most backward - by far - for banking services. It's laughable that using a bit of posted paper (even if conveniently generated and sent by your bank) is even an option, let alone the recommended one.
You have a bizarre picture of the past if you think that people were forced to fraternise. Similarly, the advent of the internet doesn't mean that people no longer interact physically.

You say it's easier to remain close-minded, yet we are in a prosperous time with greater freedom across the board for all. Try being a minority fifty years ago, and see if you still think that people were more open-minded back then.

Toronto seems to have about 5 food festival failures every summer. The last one I remember being everywhere on social media was a grilled cheese one. But there are numerous food truck ones where almost everyone runs out of food or line ups are multi-hour affairs.

I'd thought it an impossible task to put on a good food based festival for a long time but Gilroy did a pretty good job with their Garlic festival. The trick seemed to be have about 5 stalls for every vendor and stick them in opposite edges so if the line is long at the Garlic Ice Cream booth you just keep walking around the edge a bit to the next booth from the same company selling the same stuff.
Many thanks, kind stranger.
I used Simple until someone cloned my debit card the day before I moved to California. Getting Simple to send a replacement card to my temporary address was virtually impossible. They make you submit two forms of proof you have a new address, there were like 7 options, and I couldn't provide any of them (bank statement, driver's license, utility bill, voter registration, etc.)

I opened a new account at a bank with a physical branch and walked out with a debit card. I don't plan on using an online bank ever again.

i think its worth pointing out that the same company is behind this charging station project -- slock.it -- was also behind the dao disaster, they coded the smart contract that had the bug that was exploited and led to the hack of tens of millions of invested dollars and the biggest controversy in the history of ethereum. which sadly led to this guy Stephan Tual (ursium) --who is commenting on this thread about how excited he is for his revolutionary project -- basically resorting to conspiracy theory to deflect responsibility for his company's lack of due diligence and false claims such as code audits for the contract. ethereum is a very interesting project but this guy is a snake.
Not OP, but I think it's because devs are slightly harder to sell to compared to non-devs. Also, the commission for a product less than $20 will be too low for anyone to put in any effort to promoting it.

5% of $20 is $1, meaning you won't be able to cover operation costs even if you sell 100 of it every month. If the product/course/service is $2997, and your commission is 5%, you are looking at $10k+ net profit every month if you sell 100 of that.

In addition, because the author/creator/founder of the $20 doesn't have a high profit margin to begin with, the commission rate will be very low compared to premium products/services. E.g., 5% for $20 product vs. 20-30% for $2997 product.

There are a lot of Bose votes in here. As someone who wears glasses regularly, I haven't found a pair of over-ears that are compatible, so my experience is mostly with earbuds.

I tried the Bose wireless noise cancelling earbuds, QC30, and they were probably a 2.5/5. Short battery life, daily connectivity issues, awkward neckband (very heavy), and emitting a high-pitched artifact sound when using the active noise cancelling. I gave them two weeks before returning. The ear tips were amazing though — I'm thinking of trying to retrofit the Bose tips to AirPods.
You have to come at it from the perspective of people that want languages like Perl or Python to run well in WASM. They are thinking of it being used the same way that javascript is today. If WASM has some of the features of a virtual machine (meaning the JVM type, not the hypervisor type), and direct DOM access, that would be possible. Downloading all of the runtime would put them at a disadvantage.

Those things are on the WASM roadmap. So this isn't just me going off on a tangent. https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/GC.md

I thoroughly enjoyed your read. I have a few comments for you to mull over.

The article should re-iterate the impacts of loss of net neutrality and a focus of power in the summary at the end.

"They control politics. Facebook won the new president the election — even the president and his advisors acknowledge this.". This is really a stretch of the truth. Hillary surround herself with wealthy celebrities. She played the gender card hard (see her exit speech and look for "boys" and "girls" to see how transparent she was in her prejudice). Hillary lost (albeit by a small margin) by being out of touch with average people through arrogance, sexism, elitism. I would rewrite your section as it really doesn't reflect that I'd call truth.

There is also a battle raging in the media. Extreme sexism (eg. Look at NYT's hiring page for a gender editor - and if that's been altered, look at my past analysis), or collusion on topics like domestic violence (ie. not one single media outlet will admit that many women are aggressors too - that's extreme collusion across all mainstream media). This collusion represents a loss of freedom we need to fight for. If there's no media integrity, there's no Internet worth fighting for. There has been almost no integrity from much of the Internet for a long time.

Your cause is excellent. I hope we can build an Internet with more freedom.

Speaking of east coast dishes I don't see in the SF bay area are NY style calzones or knishes.

Thanks this is indeed a good suggestion. I had tried similar approaches earlier and had been successful to make some time for myself in the interim to focus on some of the areas I was interested in. Having tried those approaches, I am bit tired of doing the balancing act. Hence I am thinking to experiment with taking a break and see if I can make the best use of it.

That makes sense. Library compatibility is a tough issue to deal with. Scala.js faces the same issue when it comes to libraries that depend on the Java stdlib. I believe their goal is to port the entire stdlib, but I'm not sure tbh. It might just be an insurmountable problem.

Take a look around all of Europe, especially Northern Europe. Denmark and Sweden used to have a wide range of undergraduate degrees 100% in English with minimal fees - this was a few years ago hence suggesting to look around; countries update their policies based on demographic need and political trend. Netherlands too. For international students language classes could be taken for credit or not for credit.

I've always wanted to go to that festival. Maybe next year.

I've seen some pretty epic failures, especially if they do good early on and get too much exposure. There was a garlic festival in the Hudson Valley that got way too much exposure on Food Network and was turned into an overcrowded nightmare. (Amplified by the number of Manhattanitrs out of their native environment)

Another one was a food truck festival where they spread the thing out too wide, so you had to be on a death march to actually see everything!
The I guess the title is even more accurate!
Really? Google "Omar Khadr" (15yo). For something less extreme google "juvenile lifer". They certainly aren't getting passports, but I doubt many have tried as there is little need for passports in prison. Then for the everyday stuff google "charged as an adult". A juvenile charged as an adult receives an adult conviction and that can be reason to deny a passport.

I did not say core.typed wasn't accepted by the Clojure community. It's great you have many examples of Clojurians extolling core.typed.

I said rejecting "core values", outright, would be met with resistance. Since Optional Typing via core.typed is a "core value" as you claim, there is no conflict. I want to be clear about what I'm claiming here.

> > Conversely, if I am a fan of static typing and compile time constraints, should I expect a warm welcome pushing those ideas in Clojure and Ruby communities?

> Absolutely.

Well, I think you're being disingenuous. After saying "Static typing simply isn't a core value for Clojure". If I claim in the Clojurians slack the value of what we agree is not a core value for Clojure, namely, ahead-of-time/compile-time static typing, yes, I think that would be met with some resistance.

Also, I hope you're not thinking that in this thread I have some problem with Clojure. I'm talking about sociology, not technology.
I don't run that far but I'm very prone to blisters. Weak skin I guess.
So, one might ask, "Why do we have these frameworks, anyway?" Well, they're attempts to introduce sanity to the discordant relationship between HTML/CSS as a "Read a remotely stored document" system, and the desire to make the web browser into a fat client for every type of network-distributed application. Ever since "Web 2.0" was a thing, we've been trying to fit this round peg of delivering complex apps into the square hole of the web browser. Sometimes, we do a decent job. But, as we try to handle more total stuff, all of the moving parts overwhelm us.

With all that in mind, I think that we shouldn't blame "insanity" on the very tools that have been employed to control insanity. If anything, such a viewpoint tells us that maybe the attempts of today aren't the full answer, so there will be more tries tomorrow.

I'll leave you with these things:
1) If the only thing you're doing is creating a web page that serves as a thin visual layer over REST- or CRUD-based services, consider going back two generations to Backbone. Seriously. It does a few simple things for you, and lets you handle the rest in any way that you see fit. Those simple things may be the only thing that your app does. I suspect that this would be true for half of Silicon Valley. But, it goes against the constant pursuit of the new and shiny.

2) If your browser does more than just send a few CRUD commands from the user to a server, then maybe it's time to look into what's good about these frameworks, instead of just considering them "insane". Everyone has their own good parts and pain points to be addressed, and all these tools were built with the best of intentions, to solve specific classes of tough problems, which may happen to be yours. Look at the success and failure stories, and see who's happy with their decisions about their tools, and which problems were solved with what framework.

3) For those people telling you "just use vanilla JS", I'll leave you this:
Any sufficiently complicated vanilla JS program contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Angular or React.
