These are random thought I just wrote on twitter in the morning(UTC+7):

"I kinda think that there were no front-end languages actually. It's kinda all about web platform & browsers can't do things out of the box."

"Graphic interface shouldn't execute program on its own rather than rendering string on _platform_ which won't bother more."

"This is partly why people delegate js rendering to server. At the end of the day all script should be just WebAssembly bytecodes sent down."

"Browser should act as physical rendering object like pure monitor screen. User shouldn't have to inspect photon or write photon generators."

"SPA or PWA is just that about network request reduction, and how much string wanted to send at a time & today http/2 can help that a lot."

"Project like Drab https://github.com/grych/drab 's been doing quite well to move computation back to "server" (opposite to self-service client)"

"WebAssembly compromise (to complement js) to implement the platform. JS api and WebAssembly should be merged or united."

"VirtualDom as if it is a right way should be built-in just like DOM get constructed from html _string_ from server. All JS works must die."

"That's how WebComponent went almost a half way of fulfilling web platform. It is unfortunate js has gone far, tools are actively building on"

"I'd end this now before some thought of individualism-ruining-the-platform take over. That's not gonna be something i'd like to write (now)"

Not a complete version though. Kind of general speaking but I've been thinking in detail a bit. Then hours later I found this thread.
Furthermore I am not proposing that ISPs not be regulated. They should be to prevent abuse. I think cities and regional entities should be aggressively in this space, but not the FCC. Chattanooga TN is a good example.
'null' != null in javascript, I'm pretty sure the only thing it weak equals is undefined.
Only political causes. And only most of them.

For example suppose that we want to do a cost-benefit analysis to see if convincing people to use contraception is a more effective charitable intervention than whatever Gates is doing.

If the Catholic Church really hates contraception, they would oppose that. They might tell Catholic charities to refuse to work with Gates. They might spend a little money and a lot of cheap labor on convincing people to not use contraception. Generally they will spend resources on doing the opposite thing and Gates would have to spend more resources just to cancel out the Catholic influence.

Since we know beforehand that this is very likely to happen, we should include that in the cost part of our cost-benefit analysis. It's possible Gates did just that and concluded that working with Catholics instead of against them is better.
Yes but if they weren't cheap and as operationally efficient as they are there wouldn't be the demand.
But couldn't other languages also compile to this binary AST too?

The difference is one of degree (...perhaps "layer" is a better word?), not of kind. There probably is a principled way to draw a line between the two situations, but I haven't seen it. Many people are distracted by the greater empathy they feel for Google than for Comcast.
Having owned a border collie I can say they are (in general) not the best dogs to have around young kids. They tend to want to heard the little ones and may sometimes nip at ankles if order is not maintained. To an extent this behavior can be influenced by how much work the dog is getting, Genetics too - believe it or not some have a greatly reduced herding instinct. Also, a farm is not essential but daily work/activity is - flyball/Frisbee agility etc work well to.
I sympathize with that sentiment. I found the best way to try to get a "whole" picture is read more (biased) sources. You do end up reading a lot of junk (from whatever your pov happens to be).
I'd argue that the make syntax and built-in features are a huge boon over starting from plain-old-shell regardless.
The linked article somehow avoids ever stating the meaning of the acronym, and I had to Google it myself, so I imagine some other people might not know: AST stands for "abstract syntax tree".

Payment Request is a JS / client-side API (it's all about getting payment information from the browser to the website), so HTTP codes don't really come into it.

However, there's a proposed server/HTTP specification that does include it. It lacks the same broad support that Payment Request has, so is still in quite an early stage of development - https://www.w3.org/TR/webpayments-http-api/

That's the exact kind of thing we need more of in response to this: love and kindness can literally extinguish the hate in people. Unfortunately, that takes way more courage and strength than it does to engage in a twitter witch hunt.
Power on demand vs pedal assist. I think pedal assist bikes are ok in the bike lanes, but power on demand bikes (meaning, bikes that have an explicit throttle control mechanism) are essentially electric scooters.

As some one who has worked at startups, product companies and bluechips, if you are starting your career, then an established firm for a year or so is best. Why? Cause you learn process and quality from experienced ppl who have time. At product firms and startups that is rarely the case. You will learn a lot there but mostly the hard way and the wrong way.

No, .NET never had an interpreter phase like the JVM.

Which actually can be configured to always JIT as well.

The majority of JVMs have a non-standard flag that allows to configure how the interpreter, JIT or if supported AOT compiler work together.
Well, they are trying to undercut Chinese with web payments, one part why mobile payments took off so well in China is because Tencent and Alibaba took out browser makers out of the equation.

If you open a website that requests your Visa or MasterCard CC data in any Tencent product, it will be blocked unless "their special hack proof API" is used. And yes, they blocked apple pay too
I feel your pain. My wife has a French first name with an acute accent over the "e" as well. Many forms will outright reject the accent, so I've taken to just not typing it most of the time. Being American, it doesn't really bother her, though. I know in some languages missing accents and other similar markings changes the pronunciation and meaning of words and can be very irritating to some.

Okay. Sorry, I'm used to reddit were everything is a veiled accusation.

Yeah, you can train yourself, but everyone does it nonetheless. Everyone does it by default, and I don't think it's reasonable to claim that anyone has completely or effectively rid themselves of motivated reasoning.

I try to do this as much as possible, though. It usually ends up with me just having no opinions, rather than an "unbiased" one.

Though I'm not sure how effective training yourself in this way is. There have been studies that show it's difficult to induce this in people, but that statistical, of course. Some people likely take to it much better than others - some people may even take to it very well. I like to think I've had some success, but, you know, that might be motivated, so I don't really have a strong opinion.

In my mind patents were made to protect inventors and the little guy so that he/she could capitalize on their invention before the market is unleashed. When multi-billion dollar companies are gaining government sanctioned exclusivity to something through a patent, something seems off.

But in this example they weren't a multi-billion dollar company 20 years ago.

Apple Pay on the web exists and it's fantastic. As Tarek points out it is custom and doesn't use this standard.

Apple has not implemented the starndard yet, the WebKit Status page lists it as "Under Consideration".

I hope they end up implementing it for the sites hat won't do Apple Pay natively.
I've heard this, but I honestly don't see it in practice.

If you've been to a Costco recently you may be surprised to find that they're much less expensive than Amazon. They have more buying power and stronger vendor relationships that AMZN simply doesn't have. Prime Day 2017 was also a huge disappointment (Mostly overpriced junk like bluetooth speakers).

Honestly I think the only thing that works in Amazon's favor is the convenience, and their private distribution/delivery network. Beyond that they're nothing more than a generic online marketplace.
Other than your damaged pride, is this a problem?
thin profit margins on amazon is not the same as costs of doing business on amazon. Amazon takes a hefty cut.
It's one of the reason that alpine should not be used outside of tests and toys projects. It cannot be substituted to an usual distribution.

Electric bikes may end up setting back progress in getting people to switch to cycling as a main form of transportation.

One of the most significant deterrents to cycling has been the danger involved with being mixed in with automobiles that are easily able to injure and kill a cyclist. The biggest gains in increasing bicycle use has been by creating bike lanes for all ages and abilities that are completely separated from traffic with physical barriers. These are safe spaces for bicycle users and all people can feel comfortable riding on them, whether they're young and fit, elderly or if they're riding with their young child that is just learning.

With the advent of fast moving electric bicycles, suddenly these all ages and abilities bike lanes may not be such safe spaces any more and this could discourage people from cycling. People may not want to take their young child out cycling if there are food couriers zooming by at speeds that a normal bicycle wouldn't be capable of.
Are you just quibbling about the semantics used in the article?

Or are you saying nobody else can implement "1 click" even after the patent expires... because of copyright?

This is bizarre, but a simple algorithm works for me. Whenever I am exhausted and don't feel up to tackling another task, or whenever I'm afraid to approach a daunting project, I remember the inspiring words of my high school baseball coach. He'd say this partially in jest but partially seriously:

"Hey! Stop being a lazy piece of ...!"

When I tell myself that a task has world-class difficulty, and that accomplishing it would be an amazing feat, the task becomes highly daunting, and I procrastinate more. However, when I tell myself that the task should be done as a matter of course but that I'm being too stupidly lazy to accomplish it, the task becomes less daunting, and I procrastinate less. Expectations of normalcy change.

A similar effect occurs when you join a world class team and suddenly learn that they're doing ten tasks in a day that you once considered remarkable to finish in a week. Expectations of normalcy change, and big tasks seem far less daunting, so you procrastinate less.

Why would Harvard let these people go only to turn around and pay them fees to invest their money as a separate entity?
I get that with periods in a street name. Like when I write "123 Main St.", and the web site checks against the USPS's database, it will either reject it outright for having "special" characters, or will say, "We didn't find that, but we found this similar address - '123 Main St', which should we use?" It's so fucking dumb.
In my mind there is actually no contradiction here. Net neutrality is undeniably a way for the federal government to pressure ISPs when their opinions differ. Such as on information requests and wiretapping.
Do you have evidence that animals can reason? Have you seen an animal give or express a reason for planning to do something in 3 days or 4?

Animals may end indecision, but ending a state of indecision is not the same as choosing something for this or that reason. The limits of thought are the behavioral expression of thought. With the absence of language, it is nonsense to apply rational thought to animals. That's even in the article itself when they discuss how animals displaying complex behaviours can fall a part when presented new problems. That doesn't mean they don't think. Far from it. It means they do not have the same cogitative powers that we have.

Analytic philosophy has touched on these ideas at length starting with Ludwig Wittgenstein. Two good books on the subject are PMS Hacker's series, which, coincidentally, often use dogs as an example:

1. Human Nature: The Categorical Framework
2. The Intellectual Powers: A study of human nature

(I should add that PMS Hacker's series heavily interacts with cognitive neuroscience.)

The author forgot to write down the most important reason for the whole exercise: file transfer.

Modern operating systems index the contents of your files, so finding all your files on project "foo" is only a search away. If you are a GUI user, then file naming isn't really that important for locating data on your machine.

Where file names matter is because there is 40 years of cruft out there which absolutely refuses to move metadata along with files. So you can touch your files to set dates, organize them in directories or tag them to your heart's content in Mac OS or Windows, but you will lose all that information when you attach the file to an email or put it in DropBox.

So you only have a choice of two places to put metadata in such a way that the metadata will be carried along with the file- the file name or the file contents.

Putting the data in the file contents lacks discoverability and in many cases the applications you use to manipulate the files don't allow for additional metadata anyway. Also, some file types (Word .docx files, jpegs, MP3s) get their metadata updated and/or scrambled when you open them with specific applications. So really your only valid choice is to put it in the file name.

The author's specific recommendations (use underscores and hyphens for delimiting) assume that you really want to access the files with the command line and use globbing. Other than that implication, the recommendations are sound.

Women say they quit Google because of racial discrimination
Remember yesterday when people said this slippery slope was never going to happen?

I'm at a loss for words on what to say about this. Private businesses doing what they like in terms of serving customers is entirely valid, but it has set a dangerous precedent in the minds of people who don't know where to draw the line. The author has this asinine idea that the Bitcoin community needs to "step up" and compromise the very reason it exists because of what has effectively become a Nazi boogeyman. This excerpt makes it abundantly clear how little he understands the value or overreaching goal of Bitcoin:

"If they're the average bitcoiner, they might just have to look on with horror as their digital currency is used by neo-Nazis."

The idea that just because a group uses (or even glorifies) a currency or token of some sort, the claim you support or enable their ideals by holding it is outright stupid. "If they're the average US dollar holder, they might just have to look on with horror as their currency is used by neo-Nazis."

The best part is that the author is entirely ignorant of one of the large driving forces behind Bitcoin's cultural impact; it has long been a tool for moving drugs, reagents, firearms, explosives, counterfeit money, stolen credit cards, stolen information/databases, and child pornography, long before it was ever a twinkle in Richard Spencer's eye. Yeah, you can ruin people's livelihoods, contribute to criminal activity on a global scale, or distribute opioids that will ravage poor communities, but you know what's worse than that? Using Bitcoin to donate to a fringe political site, of course!

Fair enough, I don't consume Hulu, Netflix or HBO through their web players so I am not familiar with them.

I'm 6'4" and economy plus is too small for me. The only way I can fit into the seat is in a completely upright position with my knees pressed into the seat in front of me. It gets even worse once the person on front of me reclines his/her seat.

It's physically painful for me to stay in that position for more than 1-2 hours so I'd only do a business class for long haul flights. And of course business class is very prohibitively priced for me personally so I avoid flying long distances at all.

If the company wants me to fly somewhere further than 2 hours away, I will demand a business class seat. Otherwise I will tell them I'm not going for health reasons and they should send somebody smaller who can fit into the tiny seat more comfortably.
I think Andy Rubin is brilliant, but the more I read about the Essential phone and its history the more I think Rubin just got used to having a super high degree of control over his phone over the years, and doesn't feel comfortable not having a seat at the manufacturer's table anymore.

All of the attempts at differentiation seem muddled. It's upgradeable, not locked in, except the accessories use a proprietary docking system. It's high end, but that's an incredibly competitive space.

I would be shocked if this company last more than 5 years before acquisition/absorbtion.

I can imagine phones that could differentiate against Google/Apple... something super low end spec wise, that sips power and has a new OS built for speed. Maybe. I still think a Web Phone is a good idea. Maybe focus on niches like an exercise phone.

But... Any of this is extremely hard. Rubin just seems to be trying to beat Google at their own game, which I don't see going well.
Also excellent.
