Welcome back diseases associated with small number of available parents.
Anker has some serious quality issues now, or at least it feels like that with fakes on Amazon. It's hard to tell what's geniune Anker anymore, but I've had really bad luck w/ low quality build of some stuff I've bought there. It's not expensive enough to bother sending back, but I used to automatically buy Anker and now I look for other newer brands that aren't potential counterfeits yet due to the copying of the name.

With the inception of digital cable boxes, many cable providers no longer need the Nielsen data because the cable box tells the provider what channel it's tuned to (a technical necessity if the box is using switched digital video). It's much easier (and safer for the end user) to passively collect usage data via the application you provide than to trust some third-party to (a) collect a statistical sample unbiasedly and (b) collect the sample securely while protecting user privacy.

Even if Google is using statistical sampling, it's still something they'd want to collect directly through the app, not via a third-party.

As for paying individuals for their data, Google does that too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and.... But if your argument is "They should be paying everyone they collect passive samples from during use of their products," that's an argument over price-point, not over whether the collection itself is right.

The rightness question seems to me to look a lot more like "If you can collect data from a billion users without doing any harm to the users, and that data is going to be more useful than a statistical subset of that data, why should you not collect it?"
I would really be interested in seeing the source for IDA Pro. I would love to see how it interacts with each operating system.
When you say that GraphQL is built on top of REST, are you sure you're not mixing up REST and HTTP? Replace the hierarchical URI structure from REST with a 'novel query syntax' and all that's left is pretty much just the fact that both are ways of fetching data using HTTP methods.
I went to a design school, and one of my early classes was traditional drawing. Our professor would set up a still life, have us begin, and over the course of weeks have "random" days where he would require us to erase everything on the sheet and start over, no matter how good you were doing or how far along you were. I think the lesson was heavy handed but I've always remembered it... The idea, I believe, was "get used to throwing away your work and trying new things, even when you don't want to".

In the end I think desensitizing yourself to the idea of erasing work is a good practice. I have projects full of code that has been commented out for over a month, simply because I'm afraid I'll have to go back and see it again... Recalling this story, I may just as well delete it and rewrite it if needed. Chances are the rewrite will be cleaner.

> REST is a (limiting) spec

Nitpick but REST is not a spec to begin with. It's a set of ideas. There is absolutely no normative REST spec. Developers as of today are still debating what REST is, for better or worse. GraphQL IS a spec, like SOAP, XML-RPC ...
You are conflating two ideas.

Yeah, I've got one of those "non-regretted depature" notes on my record at Google. So what? Google lost out, not me.

Jobs aren't scarce, but talent is. I've never gone for want of employment and Google blind-allocated me into a boring gig I hated. And yes, I'm very anti-social when I'm coding. I wouldn't want to work for a company that considered that a negative trait.

I technically work in marketing, and even I don't think that open-offices are better. A private office is way more productive for the 75% of the time we aren't collaborating.

> Extensive satellite monitoring began in the 1990s and, within a decade, evidence emerged that the ice sheet was already starting to speed up, retreat and destabilize. Since then, the rate at which some of the glaciers are dumping ice into the ocean has tripled. More than 100 billion tons are lost every year.

I have a pet peeve about large numbers being thrown about without context. 100 billion tons of ice lost every year is a large number. How many tons of ice are in the whole of the ice sheet? 30M km^3 * 0.239913 mi^3/km^3 * 3.82 Gt/mi^3 = ~27.5 million gigatons. So that gives us about 275,000 years at current rates before the ice sheet is gone.

I got the 30M km^3 from here: https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/antarctic_ice_sheet.htm and other conversions from here: http://www.sealevel.info/conversion_factors.html

On the other hand, the C64 had standard hardware without a need for abstraction layers, and the hardware was trivial to use from assembly - just put numbers into various memory addresses. Plus the HW natively supported things like sprites and sound synthesis.

I guess one of the most difficult platforms for demo programming (in terms of having to write things from scratch) was PC in the DOS/Win16 era. You could get into 320x200x8bit graphics mode quite easily (the so called Mode 13h) but beyond that you were on your own.

Your blog posts are always an interesting read
At $previous_job we once turned on HTTPS for our entire customer website and online store, only to have our customer support team be bombarded by phone calls claiming that our "website was down."

After much teeth gnashing and research, we determined that a large segment of our user base was still using WinXP and the encryption protocols we offered weren't available to them.

We didn't think this would be a problem because the current version of the software wasn't compatible with WinXP any longer.

There was some debate internally whether the better fix was to including the legacy encryption protocols or just leave the HTTP version of the site running and use Strict-Transport-Security to move capable browsers to HTTPS.

In the end we had to include the legacy protocols so those customers could use our online store.
I've tried to, but I'm in the same boat as you I think.
In the absolute abstract, you are correct. In the absolute abstract, you could replace parens with significant whitespace and have zero visible syntax.

In practice, lisp adopted dotted lists 60 years ago and basically every lisp since has used it as one way to represent an associated list. Minimal syntax is better than zero syntax or loads of syntax.
At the risk of sounding like a glorified Amazon reviewer…

Checking my Amazon order history, I can see purchases for wall socket chargers (mains to 2x USB), a 3-port PCI-E to USB 3 card, and a mains powered SATA to USB 3 adaptor. All used frequently, never had a problem with them. The wall charger is the best one I own: fast charging, reliable, gets the job done. As a computer tech person, their stuff works for me.

Their own benefit is 1) getting re-elected, and 2) being remembered through history as one of the great leaders.

Politics are a horrifically inefficient and error prone way of enriching yourself. To the extent that politicians value money, it's usually about getting elected again, possibly to pursue higher offices where they think they can have more impact.

Our corruption problem is not so much about money for politicians to spend personally, but to spend on further campaigning.

ClojureCUDA
I'm with ya on this. Although I mostly work on back-end, it seems like a lot of the front-end frameworks have many layered requirements to just use them. Things like compilers, build tools, etc. just to use the framework.

If you are starting a project, like others said, it is probably small so start with the minimal you need to get something working. And start with what you are most familiar with. Developers like to evaluate things and analyze to the Nth degree because it can be fun to bike shed. In reality the technology for the most part doesn't matter, especially for web stuff.
True, but none of those things make you better versions of yourself. Those are easy to market because they are there when you are weak, for a reasonable price, and its easier to indulge in these things than invest in yourself. They are all stress relievers, and cater to short term satisfaction.

Everyone knows the reward offered by those things.

It's harder to market a product that makes you believe you can obtain otherwise long term term advantages, like a dress that makes you look thinner or home improvement items.

Regarding fatherless homes, I don't think one can take for granted which way the arrow goes. Is it fatherlessness --> problems or Problems --> fatherlessness? In other words chicken/egg redux.
Not quite the reverse. As another commenter noted, a large part of the problem is that that particular east Texas district didn't force plaintiff to pay defendants' costs when they (the plaintiff) lost. When you let the defendant choose the (presumably friendly) court, the cost of failed litigation shifts from the defendant to the plaintiff, who, unlike the defendant, has the option to appeal failed litigation. (But IANAL and I'm sure there are exceptions to this.)

I had this exact thing happen. I was consulting for a team that just acquired a small company. They had this huge building, but got most people into a large open area. The lead was certain it was so useful, he was tuned in, everyone loved it. Plus "they can go into offices if they need it". In personal interviews with employees, nearly everyone hated it and wished they could just permanently have an office and only come out at times, but didn't want to say anything.
My understanding is that not even that is safe. Amazon mixes stock for the same sku product from all their suppliers, so even if only one of them is selling fakes, you can get one.

Not even "Ship from and sold by Amazon.com" is safe for the same reason I believe.

To clarify: This is based on experiences I've had en AmazonES buying things directly from Amazon (Gillete razors from the top of my head) and them being obviously fake.
