Well in this case, it feels like you could easily substitute out the AJAX request with an inline iframe that would embed the asynchronous content into the page. That's not possible, unless you have fixed-size elements or Javascript, since you won't be able to have the frame adapt to the size of its content. It's definitely useful in some cases though – I know that various social plugins used to work like this (I don't know if they do any more!)
The minor improvements are the new backwards-compatible functionality, such as identifying Promise triggers or making fs.Stats times available as numbers. Otherwise yes, you'd be right.

> and then you tax the money back out.

What do you mean by that? Tax producers at a higher level to remove the subsidized profits from the system? That will have the same effect as before except higher taxes and decreased supply will be the cause of the price increase instead of simply decreased supply. As prices rise more people will need that assistance, thus causing prices to increase faster and faster.
>What appreciating assets should people get in debt to buy?

You should go into debt to buy any assets that you know will appreciate at a rate greater than the interest you pay on debt incurred to finance them.

>Surely you aren't trying to label houses as appreciating assets.

Real rate of return on real estate is slightly positive in historical data.
Always wondered that about encryption at rest as a feature in cloud services. The key is stored in the same system somewhere (or your app wouldn't function). A rogue employee can find the key if they want. So what is the practical benefit?
The previous major version update was in September 2016: https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/
I've always wondered what rights they hold to your data, re: analyzing it, trends, patterns, etc.
I know exactly what you mean. I've been slowly moving towards a "Mr. Money Mustache" style of frugal living, but I still wonder whether I'm doing the "right" thing. Maybe I'm missing out on all sorts of opportunities to enjoy life and grow as a person.

I do, however, look at friends who make significantly more than me and see that their lifestyle has grown proportionately with their income. Many of them could probably retire early if they embarked on 5-10 years of MMM-style extreme frugality, which to me seems like a missed opportunity.
I agree with the thread of people here saying "your job" is the problem here, EXCEPT, I'm betting it's probably not "your job" per se, but rather "some douchebag at your job." Hard to say, since you didn't give any info about that, and in fact weren't really asking about that. Normally I hate when people answer a "how do I..." question with "Now why on earth would you want to..." but in this case it's quite obvious the problem and the solution is further "upstream" if you will.

Anyway yes there's a component to anger that can be caused by shortcomings in yourself. And yes it reflects a frustration, a disconnect between what you want and what the world actually is. What has to be sorted out is whether "what you want" is reasonable to expect or not. Sometimes you're asking the moon and should accept you're not going to get it. Sometimes however, anger is your tough big brother, stepping in to stick up for you in a shitty and unfair situation. In other words if "what you want" is to be treated with basic human dignity in the workplace, that is absolutely not too much to ask. And again I'm wagering, the problem traces to one or two specific people. Perhaps you need to defeat them in some sort of battle (not physical, or you're going to jail) for them to respect you. Perhaps they annoy everybody else on the team too, and should be removed. Thus I'm coming back full-circle to "maybe it's not the job per se." Maybe your job is precisely the thing you wish you could be allowed to do, if only it weren't for these one or two assholes. Deal with the assholes. Defeat them if you can (and anger probably won't help you here... we're talking straightforward but discreetly sneaky workplace maneuvering) or retreat (leave the job) if you have to. Meanwhile all the other advice still applies... deal with your parental baggage, your diet/weight problem, your expectations of life, your emotions, etc. so that you're less vulnerable to this sort of thing (being made angry).

Edit: and by the way "your diet/weight problem," if you have one (I'm baldly asserting it but I mean it to be taken as pure conjecture) may be both the cause of, and caused by, the anger. Stress makes the body store calories. And then carrying those calories around in the form of fat, subconsciously reminds you of all the other times you were angry and stressed, and increases the chance that when presented with the same or similar situation, or even a dissimilar situation, you'll react again the same way.
To add further in India top 5-8 per-cent population is described as 'middle class' by media. Because real middle class there looks like malnourished, emaciated masses.

It hardly fits into narrative of young people doing modern jobs, have a motorized vehicles, eat out and go for movies every week.
I think this needs to be said to a lot of stubborn egotistical designers too.
Ego in some ways is good but needs to be controlled and put aside so projects get the most effective outcome.
I think there is a more Rails-y way to do this. Derek Prior gave an excellent talk[1] at the recent RailsConf. The TLDW is "all-REST all-the-time." Applying this principal to the example in the article, instead of adding a custom `movie_rating` action, you would create a `MovieRatingsController` with a `show` action.

Additionally, you might create an SJR[2] template which injects the rating directly into the page, possibly avoiding the need for a separate gem.

That's not really difficult to find out. MIT's endowment is the sixth highest in the US. In 2016, it stood at just over $13 billion.
Two different issues- research labs/graduate training quality vs undergrad lectures and such.

I doubt MIT teachers of basic science are the best in the world. Rather MIT attracts some of the smartest most motivated students in the world. More money won't do much for this.

Research lab funding? I think at it's current steady state more money sent to MIT for research would likely find a useful currently unfunded study or group.
Lets say John lives near (200 miles away) the C&C server and that John's IP is 192.168.7.2. John is the decoy, so the malware sends requests to John's IP. John doesn't get the requests, due to his firewall blocking them, leaving these lingering open tcp connections. So the C&C server is free to finish the TCP handshake spoofing their IP to be 192.168.7.2

As far as anyone can tell they are John, but when you go to John's house to shut down the C&C server you end up at a dead end.

I think it's a pretty common state of affairs when dealing with complaints about Apple's choices. It's not that they're (necessarily) malicious, or that they don't care about security etc. It's prioritising the user experience of an average user over the concerns of a relative minority.

I, personally, hope they never stop thinking about their products in that light.

Yeah, but prices in CAD !== prices in USD. Much of the stuff in stores is imported, and a weak CAD means higher prices (e.g. gas is around 1.15$ / L at the moment, so ~4.36$ / gal, which you might find expensive).

You're right, of course – I would consider this 'Rails magic' because it fits the general pattern of all those cool UJS helpers that are available.

Technically speaking, you are correct, but so what?

It does kind of sound like victim blaming, but if you store a bunch of cash under your mattress, don't be surprised if someone tries to take it.

Likewise, if you store a bunch of customer data, someone will try to come and take it. If you make it accessible to anyone other than the customer, you can't act surprised if someone takes it.

How Apple's Intelligent Tracking Prevention Works and Why Google/Facebook Benefits
That's a good use-case!
I'm a tenured professor, and I came here to post that my wife and I are struggling with whether or not we should move and I should quit my career. She has a job offer, and we've had realtors over to discuss prepping our house for sale, so it's not a purely theoretical question.

Part of the issue is that I don't know what I'd do next. I'd probably watch our child for a couple of years, and then my best guess is to go get a second undergraduate degree, in comp sci, maybe a combined bachelor's-master's degree. But I don't know.

The problem is that academics is a corrupt mess on the inside, and people on the outside, like legislators, push for solutions that will only exacerbate the problems. Its as if your child had diabetes and certain influential physicians' groups started advocating that the best thing for diabetes is to eat lots of simple carbohydrates.

Yes, you theoretically have a lot of freedom in academics, but there's lots of caveats to that. Nowadays, universities only care about what brings in money, so even if you think something is important to research and you don't need money to do it, if it doesn't bring in grant dollars, it doesn't matter, regardless of citation rates. Social dynamics are about 80% of success as well--fads are rampant, and who is credited with something is wildly unpredictable (just last night, I read that something that is commonly cited in my field, even more so than Watson & Crick's DNA paper, reflects a misattribution of credit, which the author actually is explicit about in that paper. It's as if everyone attributed helix structure to Watson & Crick, but if Watson & Crick explicitly stated in their paper "hey, this isn't our idea, we got it from Smith & Jones" and almost no one remembers Smith & Jones).

I could go on and on.

The worst part about it for me is that I feel trapped. Universities tend to hire younger untenured faculty because it's cheaper, and there's only so many places to go anyway. I miss the geography of home, and feel out of place in my field and society (just hypothetically, imagine being a historian by degree, but who does research on signal processing in an archaeological imaging context--reasonable enough, right? But now solve the problem of how to do PR with the conservative legislators who think the liberal arts are useless and should be gutted). Also, I've specialized so specifically it's hard to figure out how to transition to something else (again, who would hire a historian who specializes in archeaological imaging research?)

I often feel like all I want is to do is live someplace that I like in terms of climate, and is modestly interesting. Most of the time I feel like I'd rather be putting together generic web apps in a place I love than being forced to live someplace that feels alien to me because of some freedom and security that is anything but.

I always think this is very much the approach MVP (Minimum Viable Product) takes. I've seen this taken to the extreme in a company where the IT department where applying MVP to their internal business users creating absolute havock. Eventually Business Analysts were brought in to 'force' a more beneficial approach to delivering good solutions as well as get the business talking to IT in terms that each could understand.

There is a point within a company, where you have to switch from Minimum Viable Product to Minimum Valuable Product and try and live by the motto "Write your way out of a job".

Not sure where I am going with this, but I think the OP is right. We overthink things sometimes.

Essential Raises $300M
This is often good advice especially in a startup, but it's not quite absolute. It's worth putting a certain amount of work into maintainability. It's worth pre-empting some classes of issues. And the further you shift into being a mature business, the more serious engineering becomes appropriate.
It doesn't do much that is useful in the uncle's situation.

If you register for it then you won't get unsolicited credit offers from companies you don't have an affiliation with. So American Express can only go pulling random people they aren't affiliated with a score of over 700 or whatever and send card offers only to people who haven't opted out.

However, it doesn't prevent companies from marketing credit offers to people they do have an affiliation with. So if you have an AMEX card then American Express can market other American Express cards to you even if you signed up for prescreen opt out, and your bank can market their cards to you, and your airline rewards program can market their cards to you, etc.
Venus Fly trap is a carnivorous plant
Cambridge is certainly no where near as expensive as say, New York, so by your logic Columbia should be smaller than it is? A significant portion of a school's ranking (and overall prestige) is the difficulty of admission and the yield, so schools have an incentive not to expend indefinitely (plus there are other advantages of small/medium size).
The problem is time an materials - when the contractor is ethical - is the cheapest option. Anything else means that someone needs to overbid and make "excessive profits", or risk they underbid and have to make up millions of dollars to finish the contract. However ethical is a key part of this, and we know from experience that not everyone is ethical and we have no way of knowing who will be until it is too late.

They get around this by carefully fixing the work to be done - which seems like a great idea, but in construction there are always something you don't know about until you get there. What happens is they bid for standard dirt work and when they start moving the dirt they go back and say "We bid to dig down 3 feet as standard, but there is a sink hole here: do you want us to complete the job as bid knowing the road will collapse there within a week of of finishing or pay extra to fix the sinkhole" (there are millions of variations of this). Of course the only sane thing to do is pay for the design change so it is done right.
Ask HN: Examples of great scientific presentations?
I recently collected some presentation styles [0]. However, I found no example of a great scientific talk, where someone presents a paper or thesis. Maybe the HN hive mind knows?

I'm looking for great presentation skills. The topic of the talk is not important.

I've solved this problem the same way probably 5 times in rails apps

You've just answered your own question :)

There is a trade-off, like always. You've solved this problem 5 times, sure – but maybe each of those 5 times you've dome something slightly different. Or maybe you fix a bug with an edge case, and that bug fix doesn't get incorporated into other projects. There are downsides.

On the other hand, a dependency removes some simple code from your control. I don't think anybody in the Ruby community wishes to end up with the silliness of e.g. `isNAN` from Node.

Symform is the company that did this and I loved their model. Sadly, they went out of business. The idea of backing up your data across 38 peers, encrypted, instead of a central cloud storage service was enticing. Especially nice was that you didn't need to pay because you "paid" by also donating local storage. It's a great idea that hasn't taken off yet, not in any way comparable to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and others. It's frustrating because "paying" for cloud storage by giving up unused local storage seems like a great alternative.
I can't stand these subway maps. I carry a copy of the geographic tube map on my phone. I want to relate the locations to reality, and these subway maps fail to do that. I could possibly go along with a geographic map that changed scale toward the outside, as long as it included contour lines to indicate the reducing scale.
Here's a relevant portion of the linked article, particularly the last bit about Huskies:

> But what most sets us apart as runners is that we’re really cool—we naked apes are champion sweaters and can dissipate body heat faster than any other large mammal. Our main rivals for the endurance-running crown fall into two groups: migratory ungulates, such as horses and wildebeest, and social carnivores, such as dogs and hyenas. They can easily out-sprint us by galloping. But none can gallop very far without overheating—they largely rely on panting to keep cool, and they can't pant when galloping, for panting involves taking very rapid, shallow breaths that would interfere with respiration when running. Dogs can gallop for only about 10 to 15 minutes before reverting to a trot, and so their distance-running speed tops out at about 3.8 meters per second. Horses' average distance-running speed is 5.8 meters per second—a canter. Wildebeests’ is 5.1 meters per second.

> Elite human runners, however, can sustain speeds up to 6.5 meters per second. Even run-of-the-mill joggers typically do between 3.2 and 4.2 meters per second, which means they can outrun dogs at distances greater than two kilometers.

> Our "sustainable distance" is also hard to beat. African hunting dogs typically travel an average of 10 kilometers a day. Wolves and hyenas tend to go about 14 and 19 kilometers, respectively. In repeated distance runs, horses can cover about 20 kilometers a day. Vast throngs of human runners, by comparison, routinely run 42.2-kilometer marathons in just a few hours, and each year tens of thousands of people complete ultra-marathons of 100 kilometers and longer. (A few animals can match that under special circumstances. Huskies can trot up to 100 kilometers in Arctic conditions when forced to by people. But in warmer climes—no way.)
