No, that is not a joke. If one tried to convert an Applet to HTML5 and came across a server backend that returned serialized Java objects, parsing that into JS would have been significantly harder than the two lines with ObjectInputStream it would take in Java.
> Every business has to follow local law.

To a degree. Every business has to follow the law of their head office and umbrella group. When local law is inconsistent with head office law, then a grey area is entered. If this grey area is not reconcilable, then head office wins and local office capitulates or shuts down if pushed to that extent.
Yes - during the NES era, a reasonably powerful computer for games cost closer to $5k while the NES was closer to $100.
Ah. That derives both "ToJSON" and "FromJSON", as Aeson calls them. Cool!
Yes but when done correctly it also brings a lot of value to their employers so it's a win for both sides.
Indeed they do. I can think much of the NPM ecosystem which assumes (incorrectly) that packages are unique, stable, and good. That whole situation a while back showed that not to be the case.

I'd be OK with grabbing code elsewhere, as long as I could guarantee that it would never change. Primarily, immutability. I'm thinking of something like an IPFS repo which is "elsewhere", but still very much crawl-able, scannable for bad stuff (aside turing issues...), and can be shown to reproduce stuff if it is broken.

Also, using an immutable self-certifying system would also solve the second point, regarding the single MITM. The trust would be with the file/package, and not some ephemeral cert (whos trust is brokered from above).
I worked part time and I found myself pressured into doing more hours nearly everywhere I went. I even had one person say "Either you join us full time or we'll have to replace you with someone who will."

When I realized my startup was turning into more of a lifestyle business I decided to go part time and work remotely from Asia (I'm the founder and our only dev).

I gave our lead designer a lot more responsibility and empowered her to assign me the tasks she needed done instead of the other way around.

I kind of expected revenue to trail off over a few years. Oddly enough, with me working 1 day per week vs 5 I got back from Asia 7 months later and the business was going stronger than when I left.

I think being part time helped me focus on the things that actually mattered instead of just filling my time with trivialities for the hell of it. 80/20 rule in action.

Yeah, first and foremost, it bothers me that this data can be sold at all in a user-identifiable way. (Presumably for Google to be able to link it to accounts, name and address are included in the data.)

Perhaps this offers the opportunity for a product, in the short term: Is anyone offering credit cards which promise not to sell your purchase history? I'd be game for that.
React is full of declarative code. Something I'd recommend whole-heartedly is Michael Fogus' Functional Javascript book. It shares a lot in common with POODR in that it's conscious of why functional techniques are useful and how to think in a data-oriented way. The book is self-aware of the beginner's mindset in absorbing that information and is very well-layered.

Personally, I feel the best way to learn is by experience and by exposure. By seeing similar code in different contexts, you can learn why React programs tend to rely on certain patterns. To that end, working through something like How To Design Worlds (http://world.cs.brown.edu/1/) or the Elm guide (https://guide.elm-lang.org/) will give you points of comparison that will help you better articulate what you decide to do in React.
> But LinkedIn seems within their rights here.

Congress writes bad laws all the time. So LinkedIn might be within their rights, but that doesn't mean they should have those rights.

It's bad for innovation to allow for selective discrimination like this. LinkedIn is perfectly happy to allow Google, Yahoo, Bing, and many, many more companies to scrape their content and use it for personal profit. Giving them the option to sue an upstart for doing exactly the same thing as Google is unfair and oligopolistic.

The brain is not designed to understand statistics. Nuclear accidents are theatrical and fun, and therefore get a lot of play on the media when they happen. Look no further than the media circus surrounding Fukushima to confirm.

Everybody is scared to death of Sharks, yet sharks killed only 1 person in the US last year. Cows killed 20, 75% of which were deliberate attacks, but almost no one is afraid of a Cow.

Meanwhile 17,775 people died in traffic accidents, yet people jump in cars like it's routine. You're literally 17,000% more likely to die in your own car than you are by a shark, but again, brains don't understand that.

No, they're not at all the same thing.

Consider radioactive decay. An isotope has a half-life that remains constant over time. After one half-life, the remaining material of that isotope isn't there because it's "special" or robust or less likely to decay, it just got lucky. Its half-life from this point remains unchanged, so it does not display the Lindy effect.

Similarly, old humans give us plenty of opportunity to talk about survivorship bias, but we out lifetimes do not display the Lindy effect -- older humans are not expected to have longer remaining lives than young humans.
Not as of yet. (Filed on May 23rd, got a generic "we received it" email on that date.) It is possible that filing a complaint is akin to screaming into the void, but it made me feel better that I filed it. Presumably if a lot of people file complaints on the same topic, they might notice.

When I bought a pack of cheap LED bulbs, the harsh flicker really surprised me. I thought cheap would mean that the diodes would be uneven in brightness and have a very narrow spectrum. I was OK with that. It had not crossed my mind that they'd decide to slice a nickel off the cost of each bulb by leaving out capacitors. Whoever designed those bulbs needs to spend a week living under their horrible 60Hz flicker as punishment.

This has been known for a long time in informed circles.

The problems with nuclear are waste and that we use vastly outdated designs and fuel sources.

Nuclear is not perfect, but we should not buy into a perfection fallacy when looking to get away from fossil fuels.

Solar is a better long term bet but a good progressive nuclear strategy that added a handful of small modern reactors could be massively complementary to it.

You can see the flicker of your light sources for yourself if you have a slow speed camera.

I did this half a year ago and can confirm. Cheap LEDs are really bad, some more expensive ones don't flicker at all. Cheap computer screens flicker as well. Whenever I find a light source that I don't like somehow but can't quite say why, I record it slowmo and usually it turns out it flickers.

The unpleasantness arises when writing Monad instances that don't follow the laws. Setting your disingenuity aside, try using

xs >>= f = concat (reverse (map f xs))

or

Array.prototype.chain = function (f) {
return reverse(this.reduce((acc, it) => acc.concat(f(it)), []))
}

(I don't know how JS works, but you get it) instead of

xs >>= f = concat (map f xs)

and enjoy refactoring your code, blissfully and consciously ignorant of the laws that make a monad a monad. The laws aren't just supposed to enrich the "life of the mind".

Fonts strike me as particular low-hanging fruit, especially when targeting developers (who often like to customize everything - and fonts high on the list).

In the context of a browser, how much does anything else matter if you have installed some particular programming font?
"Chrome's security policy is surprisingly poor and is the reason why I stay away from most extensions. "Read data from all websites" is like root on the phone. It should be allowed only via deliberate, explicit user action."

What we really, really need is the ability to jail (and tie to a different IP) a browser instance.

I want this so much that I am somewhat seriously considering learning the syntax of the vmware fusion command line tool so that I can quickly fire up a browser VM with just a command (and revert state to "clean" snapshot, etc.).

The problem, of course, is that this use-case is so compelling that in a short amount of time I would have 5 or 6 browser VMs running and now I am running out of memory ... it's silly to fire up an entire virtual machine just to run the browser.

However, the existing sandbox measures are not nearly enough. I want to do my banking from a different IP than I use google services from. Every day I want to wipe that OS to clean state and start over.

This is not an easy configuration. Even with an OS (FreeBSD, Solaris) that has jail it's not simple to locally interact with a GUI tool on your existing desktop that is actually in its own jail ...

This is false.

Europe North-South is comparable to the US East-West coast distance.
Europe East-West is comparable to the US North-South.

The US has more land mass (and there is Alaska, which is the jolly joker card here - we can counterbalance this with the russian-speaking regions of the European continent, it is debatable whether they are "Europe" or not), let's say the lower 48 US is maybe two times the area of "classical" Europe. Europe is also much more densely populated.

So if you consider the USA to be the size of two postage stamps, then you might actually be correct :)

Selling medical records would fall under a different law same goes for sharing credit #s cards you collect.

I think the issue is around public data here. If you made medical records available to the public you would be in trouble in many countries. Sharing those may land you in the same trouble as the website who initially posted it under that law. The person shouldn't be charged with unauthorized access because the materials are public.
To be fair it probably always has been the leading cause. Especially if you include things like yelling at your kids to stop messing with each other, day dreaming, etc. The issue isn't that it is dangerous, the issue is that it is selectively enforced.

Also, regardless of the level of criminality, driving infractions can be/are selectively enforced. Being pulled over for being distracted can quickly lead to being arrested for some other offense, or for the police to search your car, or even for them to claim you were aggressive and shoot you dead.
Honestly, I expected this to be empty hype, but reading through the press release it's genuinely impressive.

"The study’s approach resulted in a genetically encodable RNA nano-device that can perform an unprecedented 12-input logic operation to accurately regulate the expression of a fluorescent reporter protein in E. coli bacteria only when encountering a complex, user-prescribed profile of intra-cellular stimuli. Such programmable nano-devices may allow researchers to construct more sophisticated synthetic biological circuits, enabling them to analyze complex cellular environments efficiently and to respond accurately."

Since most new cars now have "infotainment" systems which are basically like an iPad on your dashboard, and are used for both navigation and music, doesn't that mean that anyone with a new car can be prosecuted for just using their car normally?

Furthermore, if it really says "interacting with an electronic device while driving", doesn't that mean anyone with a new car can be prosecuted for just driving, since steering now is electronic, and gas pedals are drive-by-wire? Even the older cars (80s and newer) fall into this category because they have electronic fuel injection controlling the engine, so just driving it will still interact with that electronic device.

"A few examples of NoOps platforms that fit the above criteria are Heroku, Amazon Lambda, and Google Firebase."

I don't know about Lambda and Firebase, but Heroku is not "NoOps" in my experience. You still have to deal with dyno configurations and linking things together, and even have to deal with security updates every once in awhile (Heroku's "stacks" are not supported forever).

Meanwhile, this sort of vendor lock-in is a great way to murder a startup before it even learns how to walk. These services are not cheap; hiring a "devops engineer" or a proper sysadmin will almost always pay off in the long run, since they'll be much cheaper (and much better at their intended purpose) than the likes of Heroku when you actually do need to scale beyond the prototyping stage.

the io monad is a pure function that produces impure code for the haskell runtime to execute (this isn't exactly accurate, but i think is an okay way to think about it). It will always produce the same impure code, and so is itself pure.

I rest my case. You're not arguing in good faith here, although you seemed to be doing a pretty good job at times. I'm saying that knowing enough to be able to add big new features to the Haskell compiler, like the computer scientists who drive GHC development, is similar to knowing how V8 works. :)

I'm a nerd, programming and math are a too large percentage of my thoughts most days so she hears me talking about it anyways. She's picked up on some things, but she'll probably never be a programmer (which is fine, she's better off in her current career from a personal-satisfaction perspective).
