I think he/she is saying the opposite: that people who don't use frameworks get the hate, and there is a lot of pressure to pick a framework.

Not an invalid point. Mention jQuery here, or anywhere, and witness the response.
If you research the issue, I think you'll find the status quo is in fact the latter. Not because everyone's not welcome, but because being an entrepreneur when not young, rich and healthy is much, much riskier than when you are.
Yep, alot of people forget that - because JS is delivered to the browser and not preemptively downloaded (or executed in a compiled form on a server), there's NO opportunity to do things like optimization, tree shaking, etc. that other JITs do, or compiled languages do.

And the moment you accept that it is necessary (and why wouldn't it be - languages are for developers, not computers, and that means they by necessity will include cruft), you require a build system to at the very least, run the optimizer and minimizer.

It seems like a trivial problem but it isn't. We are long past the days when JS was only used to make an image blink.
Sounds impossible on many levels, the least of which is absolute power corrupts absolutely. Laws to protect individuals are rarely the problem, from North Korea and China to Mexico and the US. People, positions of power, the lack of accountability, the distribution of problems and the unequal voices of those issues, the total cultural and reality differences between the great leader and the realities of everyone everywhere, trust, etc don’t get solved by the one true government.
What point are you trying to make? Can you elaborate? "Ahem" and a link don't do a good job of forming or supporting a specific point.

Edit: Why do people think these are unreasonable questions? Does Google attempt to influence by ordering search results? How can any publisher avoid attempting to influence when any difference in content is potentially influential?
Did they really get it wrong? Very few candidates are Diego Forlan, very few wrote books, verfy few created a foundational open source project, etc...

I suspect candidates that wrote the Linux kernel, Rails, Modern Effective C++ etc... don't need a recruiters services. If whatever candidate wrote is not so big as to land them jobs almost automatically then was it really that big as to demand consideration separate from college degrees and other ignored history?

I think we dislike the idea of our history being ignored because we all feel that we are special, but in reality very few of us are.

I don't think you're thinking enough outside of the box. There's no reason that your burrito needs to be made individually by a person. See my reply to the other person that replied to the same comment: different distribution models allow much better economies of scale because you can centralized the preparation stage.
I read about so colled 'shunts'. Steelplates you put into the earth to protect your construction site for water. It is also partial used on a river side.

Those things are not painted and google told me that you can calculate how much is oxidized in a year.

I would really love to know how a shipping container is so much more fragile.

Perhaps it is not that relevant but in masses it makes a relevant amount of money. Like steel container 20 years and with color 25 years and that makes it just better.
Alphabet Inc (GOOGL) Fine Could Be the First of Many
ELI5 Kerberos:

When you go to an arcade or carnival, there are many people playing many games and it can be hard to make sure everyone gets to play how much they paid. So you get a ticket from the ticket booth, take it to the game you want to play, put it in, and play! If you don't pay, you won't get a ticket. Without a ticket, you can't play. So even though the games don't use money directly, they know that your ticket means you paid. Other kids can't steal your tickets because when you buy them, the ticket guy prints your fingerprint on each one!

Sometimes, adults like to make work into games too. So they make tickets for using their computers and they get those tickets at the Kerberos booth.
I disagree. The question he asks seems to me to be about how much influence FB has. Size doesn't seem to figure in his comment.
Ubuntu Foundations Development Summary – June 27, 2017
One of the most frustrating (and shady) things I have seen Facebook do is ask your friends personal information about you. I have very little personal info on my profile, but I know that Facebook has all of it. Because I have seen little popups saying things like "Where did your friend so and so go to highschool?"

Then later, you will see a question on your profile like, "Did you go to ... High?" So you know they are storing it whether you confirm or not.

They will also ask "security" questions to people trying to reset their password. They seem to include a few things that are in Facebook and then a few items that are not. This gathering even more details about my personal life that I did not choose to share with Facebook.

I try to frequently seed it with false information. But I know plenty of people are out there just merrily giving up all my personal information to this beast.

It's hard not to barf at all the "community" and "progress" and "connecting" and (worst of all) "journey" going on. (One of these days, can everything stop being a "journey" please?)

You know who talks like that? The inexperienced earnest, the zen master, and the liar. The ones who can say life truly is just a profound journey of progress and connecting with the community, are those who have never messed up, or had their lives ruined, or truly lived, on the one hand, or those who have worked for a lifetime to master a spiritual outlook on the other hand. And then throw in the liars - the people camouflaging themselves behind all that, to conceal something else they're doing. If I had to guess I would say Mark Zuckerberg might be some weird mix of "inexperienced earnest" and "liar" (including self-liar). But it's only a guess.
It "usually" means "undisclosed". Everything else is entirely circumstantial and coincidental.

The reason human intervention is generally required now is because Windows has been hardened enough that some idiot user has to click a button to bypass the built-in basic protection. There's still a possibility of a "0-day" exploit remote-owning a machine, though these sorts of exploits are a lot harder to craft due to that attack surface being exposed to more security scrutiny.
No, but it does make me want to drink a coke the next day and maybe more than one a day. I don't have the same problem with broccoli.
I can't stand Angular 1 the framework or the language.

I also credit them with promoting modern web development and producing a realistic expectation that browsers can actually present some really cool, sophisticated applications. It is largely because of Angular 1 (and other, less known libraries) that we currently are seeing an explosion of innovation. I may not have liked the framework, but I cannot deny the incredibly powerful (and in my estimation, positive) effect it had on the industry.

I'm in the process of switching from vimwiki to the built in Notes.app.

The big change is switching from links for organization to folders.

In vimwiki, I did a lot of scripting to manage/edit plaintext notes. Notes.app on the desktop has pretty good applescript support, so scripting is still an option although it is more cumbersome than operating on a directory of text files.

However, it is very nice to have an iOS app designed to view/edit my notes. I'm also really enjoying using the apple pencil to take notes and having them integrated into my computer text notes. Notes has a lot of integrations throughout iOS and macOS so that has been nice too.

Petya is ransomware-as-a-service, the author gives you the binary payload and unlocking service and it's up to the buyer to distribute / infect people. It often leads to poorly setup things like this where the buyer probably didn't expect their variant to spread so wildly.
These days I split my time between React & Angular 4. I love Angular as much as React. Both very cool platforms to work on, if you are happy there, stick with it! There are tons of jobs these days on the new Angular.
I have a little "hack" that I find extremely helpful for getting a sense of specific research fields.

Journal articles, even review papers, are cramped for space and so tend to be very dense. The author suggests methods for doing battle with this density, but I suggest that, before doing that, you search for a class of document that's allowed to be as expansive as the author desires, and whose authors have recently struggled to learn and understand their content, and so tend to be expansive:

PhD Theses

Find out what research group published the research, find out which graduate students have recently graduated from that group, and read their theses (if the author's command of the language of publication isn't what you'd prefer ... find another graduate student). I guarantee you it will function much better as an introduction to what the group does than trying to parse any of their journal publications. In particular, the "draw the experiment" step will often be solved for you, with photographs, at least in the fields where I've done this.
No idea. The convenience is more important to me personally than the risk of being screwed over but since everyone is using it I presume there are people putting pressure back.

> Yes, I get strong typing has merits - but so does writing the native language.

Naturally. But the merits of strong typing far outweigh those of writing the native language, for me at least. If you have a project of any reasonable size, TypeScript is such a huge productivity boost it's incredible.

I was very sceptical (having indeed been burnt by trying CoffeeScript before) but the comparison doesn't really work with TypeScript. If it died tomorrow and we all decided to go without it, we'd just transpile to JS and be done with it - CS -> JS looks very, very different, but TS -> JS is the exact same code, just with types stripped out.
Not to mention, if you're really local, you can beat out the competition in freshness and probably delivery costs as well (beyond a certain critical threshold of local customers at least). It's the resurgence of the milkman.
Developing critical reading skills with media literacy apps on Chromebooks
I wonder if you could make it in the form of a tree, where you took the leaves and wrapped them around to join the roots, like an inside out donut.

So in the middle you'd have your conjoined mega stream, and then that would flow upward, be separated out into filaments which then curl around in all directions down to the roots where they are re-merged into the megastream.

Probably too much turbulence at the branches, but maybe they can use vibration and learning to find beneficial harmonics. I would hire sound engineers.

I just have an intuition that a single stream will never have adequate confinement and you'll need redundancy in the geometry to get good concentration.
I didn't know this happened but I thought you were implying the NN was a rootkit. Well I guess I misinterpreted.

That sounds so obvious - these funds have to be used to deter people from becoming homeless or squeeze them out of city if they became so - but they seem to be used to make life of bums more comfortable, obviously you have more and more of them.

I guess experience of Belarus in eliminating bums should serve as example. There are no bums in Belarus. Why? You aren't supposed to ask, they won't tell you. People are happy, and the government is doing its job. Everyone knows that wandering in the street dressed and smelling like a bum is a bad idea and won't last for long.

Ed Witten, arguably one of the greatest mathematicians/physicists/mathematical physicists alive majored in liberal arts, worked for Nation and New Republic, enrolled in the economics PhD program at UW-Madison, before he switched to math!
Well he says this, "he decided to regard it as a barren pursuit of one logically necessary statement piled atop another"

This indicates that he views a certain type of worthlessness in math. Then he can justify not being good at math, and distance himself from the pursuit of math on its own grounds.

Of course his perception of him not being good at math and actually not being good at math are two different things. Physics uses math, but not for maths sake. And in reality, I'm sure he was more than competent in math, so the level of math required for undergrad physics was not a problem.

It was only, through his journalism, did he let down his guard enough to enjoy math for maths sake -- and realize that a test you took in elementary school needn't define you.

>>Windows will run very well, no doubt.

Unsubstantiated claim. On one hand I'm not convinced that ARM chips outperform Intel. On the other hand we could easily see many apps going through an x86 emulator, which incurs a performance hit against native. At the end of the day you get a performance hit, without a reason that can easily be explained to a user. Intel tablets can be procured cheaply, and most people would pay an extra $10 for something that runs twice as fast.

In my experience, none of the political leaders tell the truth ... I wasn't always this cynical but I've learned to not trust their words as I got older. I became "politically alert" during the Reagan years and didn't realize until much later that things weren't quite as rosy as his pleasant sounding speeches made him sound (he was a great communicator). I also thought Obama could have used his speaking ability to be a great president (he showed his chops as a junior senator).

As far as opposing my beliefs, I think I'd like to be a libertarian and so, in general, they all oppose my beliefs? I guess it's a matter of which one least opposes them? Promotes my rights (to privacy!), etc. I used to think my best-case scenario in Washington was a grid-locked house and senate but that seems too optimistic now.
That's fundamentally not the "logic that is keeping us in this two party system". That logic is the logic of understanding our current electoral system. The US electoral system as it currently stands will inevitably result in a two-party system. Sure you can change which two parties it is, that's happened several times, but without changing First Past The Post you're not going to get any other system.

From the 68K to PPC migration at Apple, I remember software spent much more time running system code than application code (listening for events, redrawing stuff, and so on).
