Oh, I totally agree with you; flexibility in design is not intrinsic to Brutalist or non-Brutalist buildings.

I don't have direct experience in construction, but in a past life I worked in two academic IT departments; it always pays to be good friends with the facilities people in that world. Plus, my more direct co-workers were the ones who needed to run conduit from point A to B. So I have some direct second-hand experience and plenty of bar-stories. American Universities almost always have one or two Brutalist piles lying around, and my experience was no exception.

I was really surprised to learn how much maintenance concrete needs; it cost at least half as much as wood averaged over the life of the building. Acid rain is nasty, rebar rusts and causes spalling, penetrations such as conduit quickly leak. When I said painting concrete, I really meant treating and coating to preserve the material. So, now you have to pay almost as much to maintain this structure - then you get a request to install a new exterior security camera, or run some cat5 to the ceiling for an AP, or add a door between labs, and what would be a one-day job in a wood- or steel-framed building is a week-long torture session of drilling.

Of course concrete isn't evil - it clearly makes the modern world possible! And there are some successful Brutalist buildings. But the Brutalist fetishization of it certainly has not stood the test of time.

Another specific Brutalist feature - particularly espoused by Louis Kahn (not exactly a Brutalist but close enough) - was that the building services, e.g. HVAC ducts and the like, should just be exposed. In his mind, it was awkward and sort of dishonest to try and hide them, so don't bother. As a nerd, I appreciate this sort of transparency, but the poor conduit jockeys were tortured by this. The consequences are subtle: instead of risers and service ducts, each individual conduit is visible and has its own penetration when crossing a wall. Which means: more drilling when you need a new EMT run.

Anyways, this is just a series of war stories. People like to joke that software "engineers" are not real engineers, and this is absolutely true. However, I think experienced software developers have a good sense of just how hard it can be to predict future use and tend to design with that in mind. It has been my personal experience that even experienced architects have not gotten the same feedback cycle, so the facilities department has to bust out the Boschhammer again and again.
"Please lets not have any more of this absurd straw man argument that men and women must be equally good at programming because men and women are exactly the same. No-one thinks this."

Sure, but you seem to be implying another straw man that women have to be functionally worse at some task for a difference in outcome to be genetic. People talk much more often about a difference in interest, which could very much be partially genetic.
There are times, when I can't honestly claim that my behavior is any smarter than that of the houseflies that die in front of the window, or the salmon that spends the remainder of its life searching for a way past a dam. The environment might be more complex, but the behavior is not. It is helpful to have a name for the system that is responsible, makes it much easier to recognize and derail it.

I believe Sir Mix-A-Lot studied the problem thoroughly in the 1990s, but in the end, had to concede that he was unable to take control of his own reptile brain.
This was a very informative article for me, but there was one thing I didn't understand. At the end he made the case that mobile routing needed essentially two layers: a fixed per-device (or per session) identifier, and then a separate routing-layer address that could change as a device moved. QUIC has session identifiers, and that's great and could solve the problem.

But earlier in that very article, he already pointed out that every device already has a globally unique identifier used in layer 2 routing ... the ethernet MAC address.

Would someone please explain to me why we can't use MAC addresses as globally unique device IDs?

(Is MAC spoofing the issue?)
Serious question: how much money is moving into these currencies already?

Bitcoin market cap was $9.4B a year ago, now it is at $58.3B. Average daily trade volume is ~$1B over the last few months. I guess trade volume just reported in USD, but includes all bitcoin transactions.

Is there a way to estimate how much money from 'global economy' actually moved into bitcoin and other currencies?

Arguably his A64/x86-64 work has been more impactful (so far). Imagine a young Jim Keller from Penn State University, makes you wonder how many SV firms today would toss out that resume in favor of a less... generic... institution. Even worse, he works for DEC, which is a boring big company. This guy is like vomit in the mouth of startup culture.
>"holdouts" that want to use plugins? Such luddites!

Yes. These "plugins" are making your page heavy and wasteful and I hate browsing websites made by these "luddites" because they're slow and annoying and probably selling my information to advertisers.

>It's in your cache because it's useful; at least your concede that it is likely to be in a user's cache, in which case the added page weight is 0.

It's not like the browser caches the entire JavaScript JIT output. There is a performance impact and more importantly there's a cognative impact from having to use jQuery to interact with Bootstrap on top of whatever sane library (or lack thereof) you're using for everything else.

>Seeing as my argument was so terrible, I'd think you'd have an easier time forming a substantive reply, vs the struggle we see here.

What sort of substantiation do you think I'm missing?

>I don't really understand the value added in your personal attacks.

I didn't issue personal attacks, I attacked your argument. I have no commentary about you as a person leaving aside this one issue I disagree with you on.
I understand their negligence, the fix for almost all npm link issues is to get a paid corporate npm account with private repositories.

>"most “full stack” developers have not truly mastered front end and back end"

We need to do something about the default of developer bashing prevalent in our culture. There's no true Scotsman, nobody is 100% perfectly attuned to the latest developments on any surface.

Instead engineers develop along competencies that are required in their work. If you need to deep dive into a backend problem, you'll get better at that problem space. Same with frontend.

Yes there are separate stacks beneath the problem being solved, and yes there's discovery and learning as people spend years in a certain focus - but does focusing only on 1 thing mean that you've attained competency in that 1 thing? Does focusing on both the frontend and backend mean that you can't have attained competency in both?

I personally work with fullstack engineers that are better at frontend than some frontend engineers, AND better at backend than some backend engineers - so the answer here is clear to me.

Right, but those are all things we are not talking about here, so RARP worked just fine.
Saying someone should show tax returns to run for a high office seems quite a different thing that saying that we should doubt someone's wealth unless they show tax returns.

Are we saying that running for political office is reason to require someone tax returns to prove a claim level of wealth?
Unfortunately other, less biased submissions are getting flagged as dupes.
Where did they make that statement? All I'm hearing GP say is if the only way to know your worth to the market is to test it. There is no other way to measure what your employment is worth.
My title is "full-stack developer". Does that means that I'm the perfect developer? That I am senior is all the technologies that I touch? No.

It simply means that I aim to learn all parts of our stack and do my best to master them. It's not a chore to me. I don't have to kick myself to keep up with design trends and programming trends. I love both of those fields and can't even imagine not keeping up with both side of the coin.

In my team there are some very senior back-end programmers. There's also some very senior front-end developers and very senior designers. Do I consider myself above them? Like some sort of unicorn rockstar? Nope. I'm simply a good support player.

I believe that a good full-stack developer is simply someone who is able to work on all parts of a project and help facilitate the communication between the different fields. This last part is the most important of all.
Like how they have a photo of Damore with the American flag in the background. About as subtle as a television evangelist.
And, it's one of the few examples I would be comfortable comparing to Brutalist architecture (though I have a vague feeling that pg is not really a fan of Brutalism, though I can't think of where I got that idea from, as I don't think he's ever spoken specifically about it).
This reminds me a lot of the Market Map from Pat Flynn's book. Its the same idea. Maybe he picked it up from her.

> Imaging if an angel investor can invest in a company early, like Dropbox. Then when it grows some, he could sell 10% of his shares on a highly public and liquid market (like Ethereum coin exchange). He then invests that in AirBnB when it was tiny. He may invest in a startup that goes down after the Series A. Oh well, he may sell for 30% the valuation he invested in. The power is there by those who make big gains in the big winners, and that they can then move money out very soon and into new places.

What is your point? This has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies. If you replace "Etherium coin" with "USD", the scenario is unchanged.
I've used https://github.com/kelektiv/node-cron in the past, which could be run in the same process as the web app or in its own process. Works really well for recurring jobs.
Then you're making a sexist argument that ability is correlated with gender among the candidates.

That may be true but it's not a neutral assumption. You'll have to provide evidence.
Especially on teams where you deliver a lot of product quickly, it can be easy to develop and maintain both skillsets.

You hear about it in the web developer context (and especially not in finance) because they tend to have quicker iterative cycles, and therefore may be doing quite a bit more coding. There may also be a cost, corporate maturity and scale component as well. ( At scale, you want to depend on fewer exceptional people, and many more average people, doing average things. Fullstack is still seen as exceptional, and its hard to scale exceptional).
There are a few other complications, but you're right in general. And the rat park experiments tend to suggest that improving quality of life will reduce the temptation to use, so when I share this anecdote I'm not saying it's hopeless, I'm trying to find a route out of a local bad state.

What does one do about people who want to abuse drugs, and will not move into housing with a no-drug use clause attached? I recently helped a guy move out of his free housing because dope was more important to him than a roof over his head. Cleaned out his whole appt, and moved dropped him off a block from the camps I mentioned above.

I help feed this guy most weeks, and when he's sober he's really cool, but he's consciously choosing dope over a better life. I can't really force him into treatment, nor do I really think it would help unless he wanted them.
Well yes I knew that. But the point is that people had been distributing their load over a set of identical resources for decades before that, usually calling it "Partitioning" or some other word that wasn't "Shard". This is an often repeated patter in the field unfortunately : new people invent something that they don't realize already existed and make up a new name.
> we have one at my local university that says all PhD defense committees must include one woman.

Wow, that would be really hard to do in some engineering disciplines where I am, and also make the women in those departments take on unnecessary committee obligations compared to their male colleagues.

I recognize discriminatory hiring practices play a large role in M:F ratios in academic departments, but I do get tired of diversity being distilled into what you can tell about someone from a picture rather than their life experiences. My committee is all white guys, but their backgrounds are very different and all but one have had very unlikely paths to academia compared to someone growing up in the US.
I did a bunch of ~$100 jobs as a freelancer on UpWork. It was the same work over and over again. I decided I needed to automate the work, and, long story short, I ended with an online tool that allowed customers to do the work themselves. It's cheaper for them and more profitable for me now.

Unrelated tip: beware trying to make money targeting developers. We are a bunch of cheap asses, and we expect everything to be free. Target consumers and/or businesses instead.
Thanks, it's great to hear. :)
Kind of off topic but... why is no one converting school buses to electric? Seems like a perfect opportunity. Lots of space for batteries. High torque. Short runs in the morning and afternoon. Think of how many diesel school busses there are across just the USA every morning.
I think the 1m mile savings figure implies a much higher cost that's harder to quantify -- vehicle wear, accident reduction, traffic congestion, labour, etc.
AMD has confirmed that they've been able to replicate the Linux bug and that it only happens on Ryzen, ThreadRipper and Epyc do not suffer from that issue.

Check out http://staticding.com - same idea you have but I've found it doesn't always work when I've tested it.
Companies (not the big SF ones) are seeing the complexities of web development multiply and don't want to pretend any different. A full stack developer just does everything they used to pay someone to do half of without much of the salary increase.

There will be people like me who are the sole developer at a small company, but my job role is simply "do all the stuffs". They will claim they are full stack developers too. The same way I am my own Creative Technology Officer, Project Manager, QA....

I just steer away from the bullshit titles that companies generally use to devalue your skill set.
The x7-Z8700 and x7-Z8750 have RCPs at $37, can address 4x more memory, have twice as many cores and consume 2W.

If Intel made a 16-core version running on 8W, I'd want a laptop using it.
This is what's good (and bad) about the cryptocurrency / blockchain (etc.) state at the moment.

It's all pure speculation, and makes a fantastic study from an anthropological and economic standpoint into how the perception of value (and the belief in that value in something) can increase the value of that 'thing'.

I think there's a lot of hyper-salesmanship at play at the moment - my real worry is that the hype catches up to the technology which is (at the base level at least), proven. When this happens, I believe a lot of these ICOs are going to crash and burn due to a lack of understanding of the base technologies they're implementing in order to generate revenue.

Abstraction is not always a good thing.
I'm interested in your reasoning here: how does local currency solve the problems that UBI is meant to, but better?
Fair point. I didn't mean to imply it was an intentional design choice, just that it was "selected for" by the "nature" of the platform (ha!). And with regard to "beauty", I just meant that it was almost elegant in a way that modern design tries to do away with.

For instance, if a site didn't have a proper search function, but had a pretty logical URL scheme, you could often find what you need by trying a few permutations in the address bar. The limitations of the system meant web "designers" (I'm using that term loosely) had to build fairly organized and unintentionally "Brutalist" sites if they wanted to be used by any large number of people.

Hope that made sense, I'm still waiting for my coffee to kick in.
Every time I hear someone say they are a full stack developer I start to assume they have opinions on ARP and Ethernet drivers and CPU microcode and consensus algorithms and good caching strategies and font design and UX. Possibly some semiconductor physics and literate writing skills. Sadly it seems to mean something else.
"Few hours a month" !! Ours runs for many hours every day.
The numbers attributed to genghis khan and the mongols are pretty much scientifically impossible. It's propaganda/folk lore than real.

> It's estimated that 15M died in the Mongols' five-year invasion of central Asia.

Estimated based on what? Myth?

> Rome used to turn the defeated tribes into slaves (though it was not a permanent status) or tax-paying citizens.

And the mongols turned the peoples they conquered into tribute states. The mongol empire was one of the most inclusive and peaceful empires in human history. They accepted all races, all religions and all ideologies - as long as you accepted mongol rule and paid tribute. What do you think yuan china, duchy of muscow, mughal persia and a host of other khanates were?

The mongol army generally consisted of a few thousand to 30K and their campaigns were largely targeted at cities and capitals rather than populations. And keep in mind that during this time, most of the human population was rural rather than urban.

The idea that the mongols killed that many people is absurd. Not only did they generally target cities/capitals, once the ruler submitted or was deposed, the mongols generally went home and left a small contingent.

You shouldn't take anything you read in WaPo at face value. But even more, you shouldn't anything you read about the mongol empire at face value either. There is so much nonsense and myth that is written about the mongol empire.

Easily-found examples of opinion without substance.

You think Bootstrap JS plugins are selling your information? I suggest you take a glance at the open source code.

$(div).modal()? I'm ok with that level of cognitive impact.

So the "people like you" was entirely impersonal? Forgive my misunderstanding.
Since this forum for founder/entrepreneur types, let me inject a bit of caution from my own experience with dealing with government organizations:

If you save a business organization money, they appreciate it.

If you save a government organization money, the next year the "savings" is likely to be deducted from their budget. They don't get to benefit from the savings and thus their motivations aren't what you might expect if you are used to dealing with businesses.

It makes sense but when I encountered this the first time it caught me by surprise. I mean who wouldn't want to save money, right?
Correct, recruiting women intentionally, not hiring intentionally.
I tried 80% fat diet and blood ketone monitoring for a few months. I felt more energetic and happy. My girlfriend tried the same thing, she felt lethargic. I think individual customization based on genetics and lifestyle is necessary if you want to do any effective biohacking.

> And, I'm not too surprised, KDE has a broken development and maintenance process. I'm sure they think they're doing a great job - but that's because they don't even see or receive most bug reports.

KDE actually fixed the bug but it hasn't gone to a tagged release after two months. Maybe they think this small change doesn't warrant a release? I asked if KDE neon can pick it up but they (understandably) seem to see this as feature creep. KDE applications means something different for the neon folks (only the things they ship with neon from what I understand).

I agree. I have no doubt we are all trying to do our best. =)

I think part of the problem is Damore's age and experience level. From everything I've managed to gather, he was well intentioned. But the stuff he said violates the "dinner party" rule of what you aren't supposed to discuss in mixed company. He was posting to a board that supposedly allowed, even encouraged, that discussion but the reality is that google was just giving lip service to that discussion, they didn't think anyone would actually go there.

I feel for google, this puts them in a tough spot. That said, I think they acted too quickly on this one. I'm baffled that google, with all their money, didn't plop a pile on Damore and tell him, sorry dude, this is a rats nest you have stirred up, you need to go away quietly with your bag of gold. Firing him just escalated it and now he's suing and it's gonna be in the news cycle that much longer.
I've been using BS 4 Alpha for a while now, this is great news. A million thanks to mdo and the rest of the team.
That was my reaction to the article as well. The amount of work being done here for Servo (and which has been done in other browsers) is hugely impressive, but this problem feels a little artificial — we could have build the same web that we have today with half these options and not even have lost much in terms of ergonomics.

I wonder if some kind of "Expedient CSS" might be possible as a way forward. Site developers could opt themselves in with a comment tag and promise to use only a subset of CSS features and only simple cascades (maybe none) in return for better rendering performance. A little like what's been done for JavaScript with asm.js.

I am not sure how an XSS vulnerability is considered a stretch. Perhaps the likelihood of it is low. Is that what you meant?

That still doesn't address the overall point, which is that Bootstrap 3 is no longer maintained, according to its project Owner, and this or any future vulnerabilities may or may not be patched. That seems like a significant risk to me.
