The only thing that makes blockchains better than privately owned databases is that you don't have to trust a private party. They are otherwise hugely inefficient. For the life of me, the only "application" I can think of that they are clearly better at is if you use them to replace the investment and trading of precious metals.

That's a huge thing, but in the long run, I think that will be the only thing.
The direction of causation (if there is one at all) is rather important as the article states. I have no time for video games at all, no I have no good feel for how likely they would be preferred over work and real financial independence for all but a very few.

> Yes there is: "ohh, gcc, that's not a true optimizing compiler".

I searched this whole thread for mentions of GCC, and I didn't find anything like this. Are you referring to the part about having to use a different language than C or C++ if you want this kind of optimization?

(I agree with you that "look, there is an old paper describing a research compiler in a research setting on self-chosen benchmarks" is not the same as production compilers doing the same thing in practice.)
The author mentions that Apple often nudge their idea of the future forward each year at WWDC. I see no different with Swift: the introduction of Playgrounds, teaching resources, finesse over small details, etc - to me indicate Apple wants to make this a language that the next generation of developers grow up learning and using.

Quite a good move on their part if it is successful. If kids start learning Swift at school, they get exposed to Apple devices (not necessarily but this is where the teaching resources are aiming), and they've got developers in their arena from an early age.

Yeah, Swift needs ABI stability, but I also understand that they don't want to screw it up by adding it too soon. Because the goal of Swift seems more long term oriented, short term ABI stability isn't worth risking a 10 year goal for.

The two-step plan for effortlessly being better off than you otherwise would be (I won't say getting rich):
1. Buy the cheapest car you're OK with.
2. But the best house you can afford.

This is simple. Cars (especially new cars) depreciate super-fast; and houses have appreciated at crazy rates at least for the last few decades. Don't put your money in a fancy car.
I understand your position. But (there's always a "but") I have a friend whose kid is severely allergic, their daycare didn't take it particularly seriously(!), for reasons similar to yours. So of course one day there is a PBJ near the kid, he has a crazy reaction, the staff call the parents "we're afraid to use the epipen" at which point the mom hangs up and calls 911 herself, invoke FMLA and has to hightail to the ER

Don't get me wrong, but I just don't see the point in this. This looks like a pretty in-depth study, why couldn't we use these man hours to create something of actual value?

Breaking a lease doesn't have nearly as severe consequences as defaulting a mortgage. Most cases they just keep your deposit, if they know they aren't likely to be able to get anything more from you, because you have no assets. So yeah, if it's important, you could ditch the job and the rental and move somewhere you can afford on UBI.

I find this amusing since the first icon is "kcal"... The information is perhaps too simple, as none of these really lets me know what they mean. Without a legend, I wouldn't know what they mean, and if your icons need a legend, then they really aren't doing their job effectively.

Creating a throwaway just in case. You don't have to follow Apple/Google terms as long as they don't catch you doing so, would not recommend doing this unless you want to risk being permanently banned by them.

I have worked as a mobile dev for few companies which they put some sort of switch API inside the mobile app. When the latest version is sent for review, the server will return a false flag thus not showing any third party payment UI. After it is approved on the App store, the switch will return true then the app will use third party payment to circumvent Apple/Google 30% cut.

I have seen more than a dozen app doing the same thing on App Store, I am not surprised that Apple doesn't have time to spot check these app in App store given there are millions of app in the app store.
After recently becoming unemployed, and in my spare time when not looking for jobs, I finally started working on my gaming backlog from sales (e.g. Witcher 3) and experimented with games that have a time commitment I have been avoiding, such as MMOs and League of Legends (which I ended up stopping because the rumors of a toxic playerbase are not inaccurate)

At the least, I got it out of my system and am now back to personal technical projects/blogging.

I'm pretty sure that if you replace what's in quotes there, you could make that statement for literally any proposal to do something ever made.
Obviously this is mostly CTO's screw up.

But the junior dev is not fully innocent either: he should have been careful about following instructions.

For extra points (to prove that he is a good developer) - he should have caught that screw up with username/passwords in the instruction. Here's approximate line of reasoning:

---

What is that username in the instruction responsible for? For production environment? Then what would happen if I actually run my setup script in production environment? Production database would be wiped? Shouldn't we update setup instruction and some other practices in order to make sure it would not happen by accident?).

---

But he it is very unlikely that this junior dev would be legally responsible for the screw up.

To be fair, I think the equation doesn't get that much more complicated, typically. Add in fees and you go a long way to showing why this won't work. Add in a floor function for operating expenses money you need on hand, and you show most of the rest.
Ok, we'll use that. I've detached this off-topic subthread since it's no longer relevant to the ad.

>Otherwise we would all borrow as much as we could (about 2% and somewhat predictable) and put it all in the stock market (avg 7,5 % but volatile).

The 2% rate is that low precisely becomes it comes with collateral (the car).

Interest rates on personal loans with no collateral are closer to 10%, which is the reason people can't do what you're suggesting.
Can all things be solely and uniquely communicated by an icon? I'd expect not - it's not so different from the collisions you get with TLAs (Three letter acronyms)

On the other hand, is an icon set successful if you can see the label once and then keep it straight without labels in the future? I'd say so and I think this work gets close to doing that.
But what if there just isn't enough money for the bigger place? What if he doesn't enjoy being the breadwinner, and would rather live modestly and save like crazy so that he has a chance of early retirement one day?

The rare occasions where women drop the facade and talk honestly about this stuff are always interesting. In spite of all the feminist rhetoric that we're exposed to these days, the truth is that women want (and often expect) a provider.

>a human being whose opinions are equally important

For day-to-day stuff, of course this is true. But in decisions that are largely financial (such as home ownership), the opinion of the person earning the money should probably carry more weight. Perhaps that's a controversial opinion. (And before you accuse me of sexism, I'd have the same opinion when the main breadwinner is a woman.)
It depends on how much is at stake.
If product does not have users yet, then there is only small downside in accidentally killing database, so it probably make sense to loose some production database security access in order to increase speed of development.
But if you already have a legacy system on your hands with many users/data - then it's time to sacrifice some convenience of immediate production database access for security.
If you have entrenched native mobile programmers, they will likely resist moving to React Native. It won't be worth the effort to convert an existing, large native iOS or Android (or both) app to React Native.

However if you're just starting to move to mobile, React Native is the way to go. For new projects, its definitely worth a look if you don't have a strong dependency on the underlying native hardware.
I think a better way to phrase that might have been "games will become more effective Skinner boxes", as developers discover new and more powerful ways to keep people in the reward loop. Because that's the real concern here.
The article does note this, albeit using "good job" as a proxy for "all the things one might have historically expected to stem from having a good job."

This seems like a forewave of the trends that point towards the basic income argument. Fewer productive jobs being necessary than labor force to fill them results in bifurcation of the labor market: between overpaid specialties (e.g. software dev) and underpaid make-work (e.g. McDonald's and Walmart) there's been a hollowing out "historically normal" jobs that don't take specialized knowledge but are still productive enough to afford a good quality of life.

In the face of this, opting out and escaping into a virtual world seems fairly reasonable. Especially if you're on the losing end of whatever the current hot specializations are.
The hardest part of programming is data. Either marshalling or storing it.

To the point that if your design of microservices is not based around this, then you are likely just overcomplicating it. Mainly by requiring more people to care of representation and marshalling data than are necessary.

And, to wit, there is a famous Fred Brook's quote on this. :)
I really dont understand the value behind ICOs.

- there is no guarantee of limited supply of tokens ( no promise that BAT will be limited )

- there is no guarantee that company will not come up with secondary token (ex: advanced attention token)

- Also there is no indication of what 1 BAT will get you. All calculations etc subject to change
From my house to the interstate, if you follow arterials, you take one left (at a protected light), followed by a right 6 blocks later and then the on ramp. Usually this is the route Google recommends. However during times of heavy traffic Google attempts to shield you from the horrors of waiting for two light cycles at the first intersection by instead directing you to take a left turn 2 blocks early, across traffic to a residential side street. You proceed for two blocks and turn right, then it expects you to do an acute blind left back onto the arterial street (with no light). This maneuver during times of heavy traffic is virtually impossible. The best part is that Google will invariably suggest this route to multiple drivers, so there is always a small line of suckers stacked up at the impossible left, unable to move forward or even back since it's a one lane residential road.

At a former employer, we had a Megabuck Club scoreboard; you got your name, photo and a quick outline of what your (very expensive!) mistake had been posted on it. Terrific idea, as:

a) The culture was very forgiving of honest mistakes; they were seen as a learning opportunity.

b) Posting a synopsis of your cockup made it easier for others to avoid the same mistake while we were busy making sure it would be impossible to repeat it in the future; also, it got us thinking of other, related failure modes.

c) My oh my was it entertaining! Pretty much the very definition of edutainment, methinks.

My only gripe with it was that I never made the honor roll...
So, fix the taxes to correctly represent environment costs. The problem is not in the decision to dig or not to dig, it's in the costs of these decisions - and I think it's obvious that these two things have to be responsibilities of different government or private bodies.

So at what point are you allowed to fire someone for being incompetent? Blowing away the production database seems to rank pretty high.

Note that I'm not talking about the situation in this article. That was a ridiculous situation and they were just asking for trouble. I'm asking about the perception that is becoming more and more common, which is that no matter what mistakes you make you should still be given a free pass regardless of severity.

Is it the quantity of mistakes? Severity of mistakes? At what point does the calculus favor firing someone over retaining them?
Actually, they were making money by selling the loan. Bundle up plenty of these small loans that are relatively safe with a few that are not, and you have a financial package that can be worth a lot of money.

Have any proof of this?
Large networks "create" value and cryto tokens are an excellent way to overcome some of the key barriers of network building, and potentially to allocate value to members (users, developers, infrastructure providers) in a better way than traditional centralized networks. Very exciting from all those perspectives; not to mention the innovation that will be unshackled by lowering the cost of entry.

That said, I am trying to understand if there is enough value to go around when the network is smaller than (n) nodes? What if the application is not one that will benefit greatly from network effect, doesn't have need for the security/auth model and doesn't need massive compute/resources? What if it will never grow beyond a certain number of nodes (for whatever reason)? Note: those are NOT my opinions expressed in question form...they are pure questions that I want to brainstorm and hope that the responses are along the lines of "here's how those types of apps can benefit".

Also, at mass adoption levels (while understanding we are nowhere near that, but for the sake of the thought experiment), do we end up with millions of micro-networks, rather than the relatively small number of networks we have today? If so, does the crypto token model still hold up? My gut is it would for the infrastructure providers because they can support (n) networks. I am not sure about the rest of the ecosystem or what constructs need to be built/added if that model is to thrive?

I don't do production support on freelance development jobs. Even if I have to sub the hours to one of my associates, I always have a gatekeeper, that being said, when I design systems the only way to get to production is via automation, e.g something gets promoted to a prod branch in github, and production automation kicks off a backup and then applies said changes. The trick is to have a gatekeeper and never have open access to production. It's easy even as a one man shop. Git automation and CI are simple with tools like GoCD and other CI tooling and only take a day or two to set up, faster if you are familiar with them.
You're right. React's own state management is something I would replace for anything else.

But in my opinion the other comparisons and benchmarks don't apply, because easy-state is not a framework, just a replacement for this.setState, right? MobX, for example, does that too, in its own way, but it does a lot more than that.

Maybe if you just want to write a small React app and you were going to use React's own state management, easy-state will make your life better and your components clearer, but if you're going to write something big and let some external library manage your state, then easy-state doesn't apply, right?

It doesn't work like that. Take Carly Fiorina for example. Measured either by jobs or by shareholder value destroyed, she has a fair shot at the title of "worst CEO in history, ever". And yet people still thought that that experience qualified her for a shot at the Presidency. Indeed she even claimed that her business experience was what made her the best candidate! MM will probably be Uber's next CEO without missing a beat.

There is an episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" where Charlie, a character who never gets any success in life (a janitor living in a dump of an apartment, gets rejected by his love interest constantly, abused by his friends, etc) gets really engrossed in an online videogame. He becomes really good at it, and exclaims "I'm thriving! I never get to thrive, and I want to be the guy who thrives for once! It's like when I'm doing good in the game, I'm doing good in real life!"

It feels like there's an interesting insight there - if you're near the bottom of ladder in life (in an area with few/no jobs, have a hard time making friends, have no money for activities, etc), positive feedback loops can be few and far between, and it is very hard to get a feel for whether you're actually making progress or not. Work hard in life, and maybe you can reap some rewards years and years later, or maybe not (working at Walmart 20 years won't make you wealthy, or a respected Walmart executive). But work hard in a videogame for a few weeks or months, and you can have very concrete evidence of your progress. It's not hard to see why people would prefer investing hours in the latter then.

Maybe that's where the appeal of the army lies for some. The very clear hierarchy means you know exactly where you fit, and what the path to the next rung of the ladder is - something that is true in very few other organizations.
