That's a fair point. One thing I'm getting from this discussion is that it's difficult to generalize when it comes to academic publishing, because norms vary substantially between fields. I've seen the copy editing "nits" you mention at the end of reviewers' letters in my field (history) but I suspect that historians would rebel if the copy editor's job was entirely foisted off on us.

Likewise, it's normal for editors in my field to make meta-level suggestions about writing style. I'd wager that history journals place a greater emphasis on prose style than CS journals do, since making an historical argument often depends on telling a compelling narrative. Hence a publishing model that works for a CS journal might not work for humanities journals and vice versa.
The underlying article with original reporting is...

... and as for digitaljournal, I hate hate hate sites that scroll seamlessly into separate, completely unrelated articles.

One simple text search can bounce you five articles down into something completely unrelated.

This happens to be my favorite book, so I'm sorry to hear that. I was recently recommending it to a Romanian friend (who doesn't read Russian) and I was hoping he would be able to relate to it since he's from an ex-Soviet bloc country.
Hmmm... maybe. There's a sense of immediacy to 'inclusive', though. Like someone is already included. What you're describing is more like 'hospitable' or 'inviting' or, again, 'eclectic'.
A dogmatic book does not make a dogmatic person. And if that's a "problem", then that's rather a problem with the person reading the book.

Please provide examples of such codebases you're talking about.

One justification of modularity is to hide details. Thus avoiding the need to "go to definition". If the tests pass and the name is descriptive, then you should understand the method without needing the details.

For example, Jekyll's Site#process [1] provides a high-level overview of how the site is built. It reads like simple, plain, easy-to-understand English. Now, I've chosen to dive into Site#write [2]; it tells me that for each site file, we're going to write it out to its destination, as long as it's supposed to be regenerated. Awesome, that's easy to understand.

Say I want to write another method that operates on all the site files. I don't need to know how Jekyll finds all the site files. Heck, they could be in specific directories... or it could pull configuration over the network... or they could be provided through command-line arguments. Who cares! I just use Site#each_site_file because it's an implementation detail.

And yes, Jekyll provides little 1-3 line helper methods like Site#incremetal? [3] all over the place to codify conditionals. These are extremely helpful.

On the other side of the coin, do you know what this conditional is for [4] in Kubernetes? I can't for the life of me understand its purpose without being forced to look into the details. It'd be much easier to read if it was extracted out into its own descriptive method such as activeMultiNodeInterface maybe? I don't know because I literally don't know the intention of that conditional. The original developer could've made their intention far more clear to subsequent developers had they extracted it out.

I find your citation of Carmack underwhelming for two reasons: (1) he's writing to a very specific target audience -- game developers, and (2) he admits himself, "The whole point of modularity is to hide details, while I am advocating increased awareness of details." Carmack is in no way supporting the idea that "it's painful to read code where you continuously have to 'go to definition'". In fact, quite the opposite, he's advocating a very specific recommendation to a very specific type of developer working on a very specific type of project. Simple as that.

You'd do best to provide some examples and empirical data supporting your assertions.

I'd be possible to honestly say you accept deliveries from any carrier and still require the seller to be Amazon.

But anyway the video says "any retailer", so that's not the case.
As an important comparison, Facebook just posted 2B monthly actives in Q2.

From an advertising industry standpoint, the space has quickly become consolidated such that Google and FB own the vast majority of ad inventory in the market. Advertisers, particularly large advertisers who contribute a substantial portion of this revenue.

As a buyer, I can state from a position of experience that managing an ad buy at scale is just as important as potential performance. If I'm an agency for example, and I can reach massively more people on FB than Twitter, I'm likely going to focus my efforts there even if ROI may suffer from diminishing returns to some extent. A big part of the reason for that is it would take significantly more hours to setup, manage and report on Twitter (or any other ad platform) separately than it would to just focus on FB in that case.

So from a business level, the overhead of managing multiple ad platforms can often be a critical deciding factor in addition to just the actual ad performance. Time is money, and lots of people hours cost lots of money, particularly those people who have the technical specialization to effectively manage digital media campaigns at scale.

All of that is to explain why total ad spend is increasingly consolidating around FB and Google. And that is REALLY bad news for Twitter from an investor standpoint because it puts a big cap on their growth potential.

Yes, many winning companies have received such compliments before.
That's a great point. Text and images are easy and damn near free to copy and distribute (unlike video). So it is very easy to copy content from Twitter and post it elsewhere (where those publishers can then monetize it themselves).

Compare that to say...video hosted on YT/FB where, when embedded, can still include ads that allows those platforms to monetize people sharing their content offsite.
By standing up for one's self it's possible to both respect yourself and form respect between two or more people who were once quarreling. By dragging in HR, parents or the state you are cultivating a draconian environment where nobody at the job will respect her and she will never respect them, no matter how much they eschew sexism. They'll hate her and she'll fear them, forever.

Someone strong enough of character would be able to withstand the initial stupidity and confront the perpetrators and convince them to stop. Should she have to do that? No, but maybe her actions could lead them to be more mature and they'd all respect each other, and the next woman would have that much better of an environment to go into.

By immediately coddling them, you are accomplishing the exact opposite of what you think are doing.

This is a definition of "hiding" with which I was previously unfamiliar.
To be fair, by their actions a lot of modern-day CEOs and politicians could be described as incompetent and/or at least malicious if not outright evil. I'm not so sure if that piece of the coloring is so inaccurate. By contrast the old ideas of corporate loyalty and blind patriotism seem laughably naive knowing what we know these days.

A lot of Dystopian fiction also celebrates the utopian few, usually of or descended from common people. Sure it might erode trust in large institutions, but a lot of it seems to support the concept that good people do exist and can make a difference.

I'd not sure it "erodes" so much as "reshapes".

Why is that so hard to believe? Personalized ads are huge right now, if you could listen in to people's conversations you can use the data to improve your ad conversion rate. If there's ROI in recording and doing the data collection you can bet they have at least experimented with it.

Without a doubt I have used sugar as medication, many times in my life.

I came here to write this exactly. This looks like a nice resource, the tone is friendly and inviting and the topics are introduced at a nice pace. Then I thought about my cousin who I've been trying to teach to program a bit. She's interested and she's smart, she understands how things work at a conceptual level and she can design an algorithm. But if I just give her some JS and ask her to run it she'll stare blankly right back at me.

The introduction needs to talk about prerequisites, setting up for following along way before getting into the topics. Right now it's just a (broken) link to the appendix, which I don't think is good enough.

I like this overall though, it's good stuff. I'm going to try and find some time for a PR to change the introduction into something I think would be better for a newbie, and if translations are welcome I might just work on a Swedish version.

Seems like they were launched around similar times (both came out in 2011) so that a definite possibility.

I love IRC, I even run my own IRC network, but IRC in 2017 is indeed woefully dated.

To my mind we need something which is a little bit more mobile friendly- with support for replaying history etc;

IRC "could do this" with bouncers and such, in fact I do this myself, but it's not very clean- and if you see it from a protocol perspective it's all hacks on hacks.

A clean "IRC for 2017" style protocol would probably wind up looking a lot like matrix, so I'd rather we rally behind that.

It worked both ways. Some new features were ported back, some could be ported, but explicitly weren't to encourage migration. On the other side, things like the "u" prefix got re-added to python 3 for compatibility.
Been using Packstation for 10 years or so. What an improvement in quality of life. Even more than receiving packages the part of sending packages has profited even more. And if a package does get rerouted to another station I just remind myself of how much I rather drive 5 additional minutes with my car, than to wait 30 min in line at the postoffice (which has to happen during working hours anyways). Yikes.

They could OCR all the return addresses and figure out who's buying what and target ads accordingly. They could also x-ray all the packages for even more insight into consumer behavior. And if a package is coming from a competitor, offer the recipient the option to receive an Amazon gift card in exchange for refusing delivery and returning to sender. Or just paste Amazon ads all over every package in the Hub. Yes I work in marketing why do you ask.

So then shouldn't it be the same penalty as having 11 pages of Slack open in Chrome? That seems like something not too extreme to me.
My apartment building has a secure room instead of a locker. 24 hour access is nice but like another user mentioned, often the packages just end up in random places in the secure room and you have to go on a hunt to find them.

Not a huge deal, I guess.
Log scales actually are intuitive to humans. As thinking about things relative to each other is much simplier when they are not easily quantized.
I was noticing that too, all of these package lockers look almost identical, with the same (easily identified) crappy touch screen and qr scanner. It would be interesting to see someone actually innovate in this field, but I'm curious what that would look like.

Like many other German corruption scandals, these were never properly investigated/charged. With time people simply forget about this kind of stuff, but it happened and it very likely still happens because getting caught before didn't have any real consequences for them, so why would they stop?

> All countries are corrupt to some degree, but degrees do vary.

Indeed, but the practices of corruption also vary, often dictated by culture, so how does one really "measure corruption" in such a way that it's actually comparable? Imho that's quite a difficult, if not impossible, task because it involves a lot of subjective value judgments.
While this is partially true, it is also DEFINITELY true that there is a large amount of academic posturing going on in the field of Molecular Biology, at least. I've read MANY papers that could've been both more exactly and more simply written if they'd avoided needless jargon. Yet my own experience with it indicates that they probably had to put in the jargon in order to get published- so much so that they may have been required to do a re-write or two to insert more 'academic language' to get accepted. Quite annoying.
