That's because many big social media companies have been increasingly cracking down on user submitted content, leaving a lot of people to wonder where they could participate without having all their content at the whims of some commercial third party, which can be bullied to censor/delete by state actors at any point in the future.

I've heard this rule so often now, but never what exactly it is that you _can_ safely event source. I'm afraid it's something you can only get a feeling for by doing it a few times and making mistakes, but that way of learning is hard to justify in real projects.
> foo is a member of a [...] foo is a member of the prototype for class A [...] they need to know is the function on the prototype or on the object itself and documenting as Class.prototype.func tells them that

I know how prototypes work, and I know why the `Array.prototype.slice` are documented that way, because I wrote those docs—and caught a bunch of flak along the way when making the move away from referring those and other methods in the form `Array.slice`—in 2007.

It's hard to address the issue using your specific example, because it's so contrived. (Who is replacing native implementations [don't], and why? [Once again: don't.]) Here's the actual motivating factor for why you see stuff like `Array.prototype.slice` documented that way:

There are methods `fromCharCode` and `charCodeAt`. However, you call the former as `String.fromCharCode` and the latter as `x.charCodeAt`, where `x` is some string instance. That's an important distinction, which means it's important that we not refer to them as `String.fromCharCode` and `String.charCodeAt`. The former is a real method that actually existed, and the latter is something that doesn't exist Which means if we tell readers "Use `String.charCodeAt`", then what we're doing is giving readers bad, confusing, and possibly frustrating information—not what you want when your goal is to be explaining things to an already unsure or simply ignorant audience. This distinction only became more important with ES5, since it started adding things like `Object.keys` and `Object.defineOwnProperty`, rather than making those methods available to all instances by adding them to the prototype.

But this is all besides the point, because we're talking about the DOM here.

> I'm not understanding the distinction from a JS programmer's perspective

That's the problem. Because what we're discussing is a reference for people using the DOM, and once again your changes would force a bunch of JS-isms into the scope of the documentation, and not only that, but a bunch of shaky, not-at-all-well-understood-or-agreed-upon, cobweb-covered parts of how the underlying objects get projected into JS.

> In other words, a JS programmer does not care about implementation details.

You understand that the thing you're asking for are that implementation details surface through the docs, right? And that they should be a prominent feature? That's what you're asking for.

Constantly maintaining a clear separation of symbolic meaning (words) and actual meaning (reality) is what monks and yogis do in a sense. It's a life-long discipline to do it perfectly, and it takes a lot of energy. The energy expended to constantly separate words from meaning is an unfair burden on certain classes.

> Not least is the idea of confusing the Gold Window it’s the Gold Standard (gold backing currency in any way).

There's not a confusion between the Gold Window and the Gold Standard. It's just the Gold Window is the only real bottom line. There can be different types of gold standards, and some of them are abstractions of the Gold Window. The Gold Window is not abstract, it is an exchange of paper for gold.

> The worldwide gold standards (in any form, or even silver backed) were dead by WW1.

They were dead and what happened to Germany's currency? The Papiermark fell into complete worthlessness.

> There’s no implicit backing of the dollar since then, at all, and convertibility was a (really terrible) relic of that period.

If it was a "relic" it was something that existed because it needed to exist.

As I said in another post, I don't think gold has a magical commodity. It is a commodity which has good qualities for a currency, or backing a currency - it is uniform, divisible, durable, portable etc. An announcement that the gold window was open again would quickly stem any currency panic and would give government officials time to deal with it. There is no magic in a gold commodity, silver would work as well, as would platinum, as would any commodity (although the more currency properties the commodity had the better).

If there's no implicit backing of the dollar, then why does the US government, at great expense, store thousands of tons of gold at Fort Knox and elsewhere?

Why did Germany start repatriating hundreds of tons of gold from overseas five years ago if these gold reserves mean nothing? What are they for other than as an implicit backing of currency?

I know the US government would like to have a magic printing press that printed out hundred dollar bills and had them be worth something without any connection to anything. But things don't work like that.

Why did the price exchange of a Papiermark collapse after World War I if convertibility has no relevance to paper currencies?
Offtopic: It always baffles me when people "suggest" better ways to customize their "internet feed" because they don't realize how much information the "system" need to know about you (or those persons close to you) in order to make it useful and when confronted/informed about it, they explicitly denied such permission because it undermines their privacy.

Except that -- as a practical matter

This is even more true when you consider the incentives people have for hiding assets and cheating the system, and their ability to do it over many years or even cooperatively.

We run something called Interview Kickstart: http://Interviewkickstart.com .

It's a part-time bootcamp focused on preparing for technical interviews at (so-called) top-tier places i.e. places which interview heavily in DS/Algos and Large Scale Design for their core engineering roles, and also make staggeringly high offers. Think G/F/A/Netflix/Amazon/MS etc.

It is intense and also taught by Sr. Engineers working in core systems at these places. There is a rigorous academic take to it, with homework, tests, mock interviews etc.

A little known fact, is that many people come to the program with no intent to look for a job. They are already at good places, paid well, and just want to get better as an engineer, which I think is what you're looking for.

Many have figured out, that the structure and the forcing function challenges them to be better. Most of your peers will have backgrounds in CS/CS, and you'll also see people coming FROM some of the same companies others are aspiring to go to (e.g. Amazon, Microsoft etC).

We start an online cohort every month, where people join from all over US and Canada (and sometimes even other countries).

Feel free to check it out.
i'm sure you've seen the interviews on indiehackers.com, but there are many more bootstrapped companies on their way up! many to watch out for.

> is not a worker who wants more than what the employer is willing to pay then no longer part of the supply?

I think that is a fair assertion. If demand disappears, the supply also disappears (why supply something that nobody is going to buy?). However, the people who would have made up that supply of labour tend to not die. They find something new to supply to the market with instead, thus putting downward pressure on the jobs that do pay sufficiently to attract people, but not to the point where nobody is willing to do the job. Thus why incomes aren't increasing (but also not heading towards $0).

> if you actually did raise your pay rate to a point where there would exist a worker willing to work for that amount, and you could further prove that worker would still be able to create enough value to the employer s.t. he or she was worth hiring in the first place

This is the issue though. The farmer in the article didn't get his crop off because the consumers didn't care enough about the product to justify its harvest. The airline had to cancel the flight because the consumers didn't care enough about making that trip to justify finding a pilot. If people were starving, they would be willing to pay more for food, and the farmer could have then afforded the necessary labour. If people had to make that trip, they would have paid more for the flight, and the airline could have afforded the necessary pilot. You have to actually have a reason to pay these people sufficiently, which is not always the case. Not all jobs are actually needed.

Price is a function of supply and demand, but just saying you want something is not actually demand. There has to be the willingness and ability to pay the price that is necessary, by the very definition of demand.

On the other hand, this removes a big incentive for "featuritis". A developer can sit back and only add features that really matter to the product or fix minor but annoying bugs, rather than pushing unnecessary flashy changes dictated by a sales cycle.

A quick google image search for 'Erlang concurrency models' [1] reveals nothing that has an eerie similarity to a NN.

The only thing noteworthy is that there are graph diagrams spread here and there. (Please tell me it is not true that you are clueless about a graph being the most fundamental construct in computer science, something that would pop up in pretty much every CS topic in one form or the other.)

This company is getting beaten to a pulp.
To a lot of us there was a period where it felt like Google was inferior because while it was good, if you understood your space and knew which terms to carefully include/exclude in the search using search operators with Altavista for example, you'd be likely to get a better result. For a while.

But that was based on a web where the amount of information was "small" and of searching within small bubbles we knew well, and spending a lot of time refining searches.

What "made" Google was first making search "good enough" that casual searches would return good results without spending time tuning inclusion/exclusion or figuring out which terms were used for a given subject first. Suddenly search "worked" for a lot of people and instances where it didn't work before, and for a rapidly growing internet population that made figuring out how to make an engine like Altavista work totally pointless.

Altavista was "better" once you had a hyperspecialised set of skills around using Altavista. But that too only lasted until Google had improved their algorithms a bit more combined with people starting to pay attention to SEO. Out went the last niches where the old-style engines could compete.

French is not particularly inaccessible; nowadays particularly I find Google Translate always at least gives the gist of the meaning.

> In effect, one cannot historically find a single case where a country at an early stage of its economic development would have developed through its opening to international competition. Development has always been attracted [lit. "baited to consent"] with a certain degree of protection that has been diminished as the economy has strengthened sufficiently to face external competition. But such a process extends over many years, not to mention the prerequisite which consists, in the case of the ACP [I believe this is the "États d'Afrique, Caraïbes et Pacifique", parties to the Cotonou Agreement], of the putting in place and operation of regional structures.
I can understand the historical requirements for alignment, the necessary transistors, what not. But, much like branch-delay slots, there is no modern reason to expose this to the programmer. Of course, I gave an exception to atomics, but if you will, they're like memory-mapped communication, and now that all I/O is memory-mapped, with no concept of ports, the (ordering) semantics of memory access becomes really important.

I'm also the weirdo that feels process isolation, memory management, and I/O mechanisms need a rethink. But that's something that would take me forever to get into.

One thing I will say, though, is alignment issues "infect" everything. Assume your architecture doesn't allow misaligned access. Now, all your data has to be naturally aligned. Your structs now have to be aligned to the alignment of the largest sub-structure within them. This is all because code is alignment sensitive. Given a pointer to a struct, generic code is unnecessarily larger. Any why would we care? Communication, of course. If we're exchanging data between systems then idiosyncrasies such as this suddenly become globally visible.

Endian-ness must be little. Byte-aligment a non-issue, and network-bit order should be from bit zero up, with any upper layer need, say for cut-through forwarding, expressed as a data ordering requirement, so for example an IP4 address is not a blind 32-bit word, but specifies the structure of those 32-bits.
