Have to agree with the article somewhat. Its very difficult to be great at every part of the stack. Big companies require this as their applications last longer than the usual startups. Backend developers think they are full stack if they can throw HTML and JavaScript on the page. The current state of things is that the front end of things is way more complex and having to consider user interactions ends up being as hard as throwing crud together.

On the other side of things, I know Frontend developers who wouldn't dare touch the backend for any reason. So A full stack developer for most companies someone who is willing to do back and front end development if they have to in order to ship a product.

For myself, if I don't like the backend stack I'll stick to the Frontend of things as that is what I specialize in. If the backend stack looks interesting to me then I'll want to work in it. Fortunately, I got a job at a company who can offer me a stack Im interested in on both the front and back ends.

Personally, I am a fan of Buffett's "Circle of Competence" theory. Until I have a firm grasp of concepts I am not buying anything because someone says so.

So when my relatives kept bugging me about this crypto-thing, I have been reading up and writing small layman blog entries for them. Something in the vein of ELIF.

Once I have a firm grasp of concepts then I might decide whether to buy or not.
Booted from the store is what I should have said.

De-listed plus impossible to get new ones approved.
I wouldn't want to invest in it either, but the truth is is that these investors will likely all make a lot of money. Just because a project is terrible in various ways doesn't mean the investors in the ICO won't get rich, and the founders won't get rich.

Especially the special ones that got in early at a fraction of the price.

Dangerous speculation.

This trend of rich-quick schemes on the back of ICOs is getting crazy out of hand.

Overselling tech that doesn't exist yet (and may not ever) is only going to benefit the exchange platforms.

Crypto may see a "netscape" moment but I doubt it will be off of the KiK coin or whatever else is being peddled as the coin of the day.

Everytime I read one of these articles I can't help but think of the early scenes in Wolf of Wall Street -- don't be the poor bastard getting oversold on penny stocks.

Is it illegal to claim something under DMCA when it does not in fact represent a DMCA claim?
To read the original post (OP), I had to look up the meaning of the acronym PPL -- "push, pull legs".

I never did see what "the 'gram" meant.

Uh, we have the Roman alphabet, the English language we can write using the Roman alphabet, and dictionaries where we can look up words in the English language written with the Roman alphabet. Commonly we can also use Google to look up such meanings.

Then acronyms such as PPL and abbreviations such as "the 'gram" are not in an English dictionary and, thus, are obscure and poor means of communications. Similarly for icons.

So, in the interest of clear communications, ease of use, and a good user experience (UX), the Web pages for my startup are in English using the Roman alphabet and have no acronyms, abbreviations, or icons, obscure or otherwise.

Doing the same, the OP would be easier to read.

XRP I think is another one to keep an eye on. It's the only other one I hold besides BTC/ETH. It's the 3rd largest behind the two and is targeted to FinTech, which is a nice industry to be involved in (if successful). The risk is whether or not they can overcome barriers to entry (which is pretty high in finance).

IANAL but this seems like a questionable use of DMCA Takedown notice which, in any event, isn't actually binding. EasyList could probably file a counternotification and risk a lawsuit.

I don't think so. All I've got is Windows Defender and seeing as how that's a default program in 8 and 10, I'd expect a little more effort on Chocolatey's part to notifier users about that if it was the cause.

I don't really get it. I did a fresh install of it a few minutes ago, gave the command to install 7zip. Then it downloaded the file, said it was installing, and it just sat there for 10-15 minutes before I got fed up and hit CTRL+C to cancel it. Then it kicked back into gear and magically finished the install somehow?

I worked with a startup years ago that did these kinds of optimizations (for deliveries). The logistics & transportation market in the US is about a TRILLION dollars -- small optimizations can make a HUGE impact.

The challenge for practical implementations is that there are lots and lots and lots of optimization factors that are very hard to account for. Often, you don't even know what they are until you try to automate the process.

For example: preferring small buses on side streets, as the article mentions. Or, knowing about a major work project in an area (to avoid for the coming year), or specific left turns that are tough for a bus. Also, highly optimized schedules usually have (by definition) much less "slack" in the overall system, and are less resilient to real world changes and variations.

My point: in my experience, there can often be a significant gap between enthusiastic technologists (myself included) and real-world implementations.

Not really. I can tell you as a woman in tech, one of the things I love most about my job is interacting with machines. Machines are simple, people are complex. Plenty of women spend their whole day on a computer at work with only minimal more interaction with people, if any, than a programmer. It's not for everyone but there is no need to adjust the job at all for women.

The reasoning on this guy's website is often pretty fascinating: http://www.worlddreambank.org/P/PLANETS.HTM -- these are entire fantasy planets. For a warm-up exercise, he started out by tilting the Earth in different ways and working out how that would affect climate and biomes.

Anything further than a 100th of a light year past the edge of the solar system we aren't going to be able to send a probe to so why bother except to provide subject matter for sci-fi. Even if we see that there is intelligent life on that planet there's nothing we can really do about it.

If they are a few hundred years ahead of us technologically they know about us and don't care. If they are a few hundred years behind they won't be able to receive our transmissions. I know science nerds need a wondergasm, but until we get some decent deep space propulsion technology it doesn't freaking matter. Seriously, except for some cool TV shows what tangible benefit had deep space cosmology brought us in the last 40 years?
> whites are soon to be a minority in the country

What is this meme that whites will be a minority in the United States?

The Wikipedia article [0] on the demographics of the United States, Race and Ethnicity section, states the following breakdown for US populations: Whites are 63% of the population, Hispanics are 16.3%, African-Americans are 12.2%, Asians are 4.7%, other racial and ethnic groups fall under 1% of the population.

Am I missing something here that lends itself to this conclusion that 63% of the population, nearly 200 million people, will "soon become a minority group in the country?"

I think, he explains it early in the article,

Plenty of my friends are surprised to hear that some of us actually like them! I grew up on Collin Street Bakery fruitcakes which are shipped all over from Corsicana, Texas. We even ate them in Nigeria when relatives would send them out to us via travelers.

It was a space travel game not unlike a very rudimentary (and 1-bit) version of Faster Than Light. It could be on a floppy somewhere. I still have the original 128k Mac that I built it on, but it's in storage.

Edit: Fun thing that I just remembered—the game had a picture of your space ship that showed damage to various areas during battles. The image was scanned on an ImageWriter (Thunderscan!) from a magazine photo of a Delorean, and then I used MacPaint (Fatbits!) to erase the wheels and make the undercarriage look like a space ship. Pretty awesome for those early days, if I do say so myself.
> Rules like DRY or keeping line counts low are based on surface metrics and definitely lead people to over-fit the model based on incomplete information.

I think this cuts to the heart of a changing landscape regarding what people consider a "good person".

Your father believes he's a good person because he made a sacrifice for what he believed in. He sacrificed his relationship with someone he loved, and likely felt a lot of pushback which greatly hurt him in many ways. Following the battle of Gettysburg Lincoln consummated the ground to all the soldiers that lost their lives fighting for what they believed in: those fighting for slaves and those fighting for slavery. Both sides were important in shaping the fabric of the US (in his view).

Today good and evil fall along party lines. There are no more martyrs, chastising others counts as being good and even small sacrifices for good are considered exceptional acts. Today change is expected to flow freely while speech is expected to be canned and regulated, a reversal of Lincoln's time.
I think the author doesn't understand the small-function-philosophy (at least not the same way I do). Let me clarify how I see it:

- Build a ton of small functions that are reusable across any project. You are essentially making useful concepts. (i.e. a library). Bottom-up.

- Once you have those, a business problem often will only be about 3 or 4 of those powerful, reusable functions.

So something like sending out a newsletter might end up being:

function sendNewsletter(letter) {
database.getAllUserRowsAsIterator().forEach((row) => {
sendmail(x.address, letter);
}
}

Now if we want the whole newsletter not to fail if there's a single exception, we can make another reusable construct "count exceptions" that's a wrapper function that catches all exceptions and builds a hashmap.

If you want this to work in a larger project, this requires having reliably unit-tested code and doc-blocks so that other people can reuse your abstractions, and then having roughly comparable coding skill to you.

Just encode the list of urls with htmlentities, base64, rot13, whatever. Then the DMCA can't be used to attack it.

Edit: Disagree? Please comment. It's attackable via the DMCA because the word/brand is in the file in it's copyrighted form. If you encode it such that it isn't in that form, it's protected from that approach.
I'm inclined to think joke too because although a lot of people thing brutalist architecture is ugly, it is a specific type of ugly and this doesn't seem to fit. I'm not an expert though.

It wouldn't be a great surprise to see this happening, the concepts are far from new.

I attended a talk on GPS spoofing and how it could be used for this kind of attack 6 years ago, there were articles from Wired 9 years ago (https://www.wired.com/2008/09/researchers-dup/) citing warnings from the Department of Homeland security 14 years ago...
There will be a lot of people who will lose a lot of money in that space soon. I would advice staying away.
I don't think I'd argue with that.

To take the idea to its conclusion is that one can build abstractions on these building blocks. It's typical for software I write to be built up from small functions. The abstractions happen as higher-order functions build up to the domain level language until the implementation meets its specification.

A rather well-defined abstraction I admire is the OSI model [0]. A software system that emulates this model, built from solid generalizations like lambda and higher-order functions tend to be quite strong in the sense that reasoning about them can be done in isolation from layers below or above.

Procedural code, if not well contained and isolated, easily loses this ability and requires the programmer to enumerate the decision tables in their head and all of the possible effects that could be caused by different inputs... such a waste of time. I've been there, done that. Not for me. I like small functions as long as I have ways of composition by means of higher-order functions.
Am I the only one who thinks its laughable that adding their domain to a blocklist "circumvents" their protection technology? If I was a content provider I don't think I'd want to rely on something so flimsy.
