I feel like this is one of those things that I have been thinking to my self for a little while now. "Why hasn't someone already solved this problem." In my mind there is no reason for my browser to download 26 copies of the same jquerry file.
If ES6 used hashes to version libraries this might be possible. I still think you'd have too many versions to keep track of.

In other spaces the pendulum is swinging away from shared libraries since storage space and bandwidth are relatively cheap.

Java is often distributed as "fatjars" these days. IOS and Android apps bundle their dependencies the same way as far as I know. The whole serverless movement is a move away from shared code for better or worse.
I switched to ddg and know lots of others who did too. DDG uses Bing.

Panther was a one-man shop that did nothing but market manipulation. Yes, they used automation but for every Panther, there are 1000 manual traders being fined by CME for spoofing every year. Automation doesn't imply state of the art HFT. The Flash Crash spoofer was using a Trading Technologies system that any small trader can rent with a few scripts loaded in.

Look at real players with hundreds of employees. None of them make their money from market manipulation. It's all from low-latency arbitrage. If you're fast, you can make way, way more money doing legitimate trading than market manipulation.

All double-digits better (some have actual parity) in female representation than computer science, which shares its gender disparity distinction with only two other (generally defined) STEM fields: ee/mech engineering and physics.

Nobody is disputing that women are less interested in working in CS than men. They clearly are. What is obvious to some of us is that the reason for that disinterest is that the field is hostile to them. It is hard to explain otherwise how something like three times as many women might obtain post-graduate mathematics degrees --- a pursuit that is more intellectually demanding and less lucrative than computer science, which routinely pays six-digit salaries to people immediately out of school simply to wire database rows up to HTML tables.

If there's such a huge war for talent, then why don't those employees have more bargaining power? Last I checked on glassdoor, salaries for SE are way below living costs in the bay area. And the vast majority of SE don't even have enough bargaining power to leave the bay area and work remotely. I strongly suspect, the "war for talent" is a huge myth, or perhaps, isolated to small specialties. I've worked for a company in the bay area that had huge growth and taken part in much of the hiring. We seemed to have more than enough talent available - so much so, we were actually turning some of it away. If anything, the problem was more - being able to recognize talent and hire it, rather than lack of supply.
React itself is simple but having a whole project with React/Redux and a full fledged Webpack/Babel config managing dev and prod build is really not simple IMHO.

Like it or not, we have nation-states, not a global labor market.

The government of EVERY country in the world is elected to take care of their citizens. Why should the US government worry about wages of Chinese citizens - Chinese people have their own government, no?

BTW, the US is already very open (close to 15% of population is foreign born, the highest in a century). In an economic crisis, it is not unreasonable to slow down immigration a bit.

Also, it is ironic that you use the example of China, perhaps the most protectionist major country in the world.

I have to wonder what the distribution is of people using java is. You seem to be a freelancer or independent agency for contract. I can easily see a bunch of big corps moving from Java to Kotlin though. Especially with an in via android, why not using Kotlin across the board. It will definitely be a gradual thing, if it will be thing. Kotlin just seems to be a very, very pragmatic enhanced version of Java.
There is that. For big-name extensions like UBlock Origin and Greasemonkey, there's a Mozilla bug which is used as a tracker for Firefox-side issues which need to be fixed. Lesser extensions don't get that kind of attention.

When I was porting my extension, my big worry was "is there going to be something I need to do that doesn't work?" But there were no show-stopper bugs.

Search is such an integral part of how we use the internet today and a vast improvement of the link sites and books from 20 years ago.

Competition in this space has never been more important, in particular in light of recent news of censorship from google and various big companies.

Although I personally use DDG I applaud anyone that tries to compete with google and I hope that Microsoft won't give up on Bing.

Edit: typos
> Do you not see the inherent difference...

No. Things that get banned almost always have significant political content.

Homosexual content (not necc. porn) comes to mind as a perfect example of "whole classes of goods and services" that are also very much political speech. "obscene speech" (see The Howl trial) is another famous example of an attempt to re-brand "political speech" as an apolitical "whole class of goods and services".

Taking some class of controversial goods and services and branding it as "not political" is just begging the question. It's saying "this thing is so obviously bad that discussion of its acceptability is beyond the scope of our current politics." IMO saying something is "beyond politics" is the ultimate political judgement.
Bing is my go-to search engine when I'm in China, and don't have access to a VPN. Most of the time, it gets the job done just as good as Google. Sometimes the results are even a bit better, but sometimes much worse, with the results not relating to the thing I'm searching for at all. It's hard to describe and I don't have an example at hand, but it's these failures that make it really frustrating. Sometimes I wish you could report a search as particularly bad, so that some human employees would have a look and manually move the for humans obviously correct result to the top.

The idea of scoring sentiment on a linear scale is kinda pointless on itself, people usually start to realize that by the time they graduate a primary school.
It looks like this grew out of course materials for the sophomore-level operating systems course at UIUC. If that's the case, they've really stepped up their game since I took the class in the late 1990s. At the time, they had made the extremely regrettable decision to do the course in Java. The pinnacle of the semester was an assignment to complete the half-finished implementation of a TFTP client. (Lest anyone think I'm dissing UIUC here -- like any university the quality of its instruction was uneven. UIUC was also home to the formidable Jason Zych, who taught a great sophomore data structures course using C++.)

That's not the point. But it might tell something about the mentality and the psychology of a category of people, if they are more prone to such 'hobbies' than other categories.
It's a bit cynical to say that's done simply in the name of gender. There are certainly many talented people who move away from tech because they look at it from the outside and observe that tech "isn't for them". There is nothing "inherently wrong" in correcting some of that unless you willfully ignore how our society came to be.
Again, dodging and weaving. And not doing what you demand of others.

>> she probably had to work harder than her male peers

Probably not. The article mentions (to Ellen's credit, BTW) that Doerr was specifically looking for Asian women to hire. That's ironically probably also one of the reasons why she wasn't treated seriously: diversity hiring casts a permanent shadow over even the candidates with abundant qualifications.
Advertisers aren't looking for the most likely to click, they are looking for the most likely to convert. Clicks cost money so they only want to pay for people that are highly targeted. This is why search advertising is so powerful, it is about matching the intent of the user (their search terms) to products and services, and getting them at the right time (when they are open to new paths).
Microsoft's success is closely related to piracy. Piracy helped Windows to become the majority. This is no different and IMO Microsoft intentionally don't fight against those apps very strongly to help their store to succeed.

I read stories like this and I wonder how representative they are. I'm from the different world of enterprise software and I couldn't imagine any of these things happening.

The only conversation that I've ever heard in mixed company that was even remotely similar to the ones she mentions is one time a female co-worker mentioned at lunch that her roommate was an erotic dancer at a men's club so there was a brief conversation about where she worked/how much she made/weirdest story/etc.

I'm curious if the difference between my experience and the stories I'm constantly reading is a result of selection bias or if startup technology really is a very different beast than enterprise tech from a sexism point of view.(I suspect a little of both)

I have seen analytics data for dozens of big sites and I have never seen numbers to even remotely support 33% to Bing. I have little doubt that MSFT is basing this on some form of data, but I'm guessing there is a twist or caveat in here somewhere. EDIT: For content sites and e-commerce sites, I see ratios that are between 18:1 and 50:1 for Google:Bing. Long way off from 33%.

I went and googled and, yeah, sure seems like a lot of table saw accidents. I went to the database and looked up tablesaw and bandsaw estimates. 2605 bandsaw vs 33164 tablesaw. Something is kinda weird about that. Unless everyone has a tablesaw and few people have bandsaws I'd expect that the numbers would be similar.

I'm starting to wonder if there are just a lot of stupid people using tablesaws. Which wouldn't surprise me, there are an amazing number of untrained people doing all sorts of stuff.

Whatever, I'm perfectly happy to say that sawstop is a fine idea for stupid people. I just don't need one, I don't put my fingers anywhere near any blade, that's stupid. And we have all sorts of data that says when you do stupid stuff you lose your fingers.

In my case, knock on wood, I believe I don't need that technology because I have a lot of respect for that spinning blade and don't get close to it. And what I've been trying, and apparently failing, to say is that my respect for the tablesaw is part of my mental state when I'm in the shop. I actually don't want a safer saw, it's still dangerous, it can still throw stuff at you hard enough to really hurt you, I'm fine with the protocol I have to not hurt myself.

I realize that winds people up, they think I'm Mr Cuts Corners or something, I'm not. I live on a 15 acre property, I use chainsaws, tractors, excavators, mowers, all sorts of stuff that can kill me. I do that stuff every day so I have to have a mental state of carefulness. On all the equipment. None of it is safe.

So for me, sawstop doesn't add any value, I'd use it the same way I use my current saw, with push sticks. Which is how everyone should use their saw. That's not saying I'm against sawstop or other safety equipment, it's just saying that I've got a safety protocol that works. And I won't let anyone into my shop who doesn't follow that protocol.

YMMV.

No duckduckgo is bigger than you think.

They'll be at a billion queries per month early next year most likely.

1/12 the size of bing may not sound like much, but I believe it's still run by just a few fulltime employees (fair amount of part-timers). Plus DDG isn't burning a billion dollars a year to compete with Google.

> Also, try to avoid pre-allocating large arrays. It’s better to grow as you go.

Is this really true? I've only heard the opposite (preallocate arrays whenever possible) and I know that preallocation was a significant performance improvement on older devices with older javascript engines.
For me it just sounds like a consumer generation smartening up - no napkin, hooters, beer and softeners... This is mostly waste anyway, our needs and consumption will change and the industry has to change with it.
I'm getting pretty jaded with the JS ecosystem as a whole. I don't want to have to learn new (effectively throwaway) technologies every few months because, fundamentally, I'm interested in building valuable products, not in learning technologies as an end in itself. Or, in other words, I have better and more interesting things to do.

Also, this endless churning is not how you develop expertise. The way things are at the moment you've just about learned to work with the quirks of one framework and then you have to pick up another one.

It's completely ridiculous, especially when in a lot of cases the benefits of one technology over another similar technology are pretty marginal.

I mean, come on: can you honestly say that Brunch is a quantum leap on from WebPack (or vice versa), or that WebPack is a quantum leap over Gulp (or, again, vice versa)? I don't think so.

By contrast, you become an expert by sticking with things and developing deep understanding. I've therefore reached the point where I'm only interested in the browser APIs and JS libs that are proven, battle-tested, and have stable APIs. I don't want to waste time rewriting code that was working and is now broken just because the previous API version offended the aesthetic sensibilities of some capricious maintainer.

(Sorry, I do tend to get quite grouchy about this stuff.)

Agree - I think many of the recent examples of Silicon Valley issues in the media seem more related to Silicon Valley VCs who inherit more traits from NYC finance, sales and hedge fund/investment banking than the hacker in the garage inventing next generation networking, programming language, search engine, machine learning or open source project.

In fact many men (and women) who chose engineering/computer science were explicitly trying to escape these questionable finance/business 'cool kid' types by specifically going into the technology field. [1]

Additionally, I think as technology becomes more ubiquitous in mainstream industries like fashion, real estate, retail, lifestyle manufacturing, tech will be taking on those industries historical problems with lack of diversity.

Many of Binary Capital's investments overall read more like applying smartphone/Uber type apps to a specific industry vertical. They seem a little light on tech, heavy on social/consumer aspects.

https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/binary-capital#/enti...

And a big concern is that the proposed fixes will be focused on increasing diversity training for engineering and computer science (while for sure a good thing speaking as a father with a daughter!) should really be focused on increasing diversity training for finance, investment banking, sales, marketing in all sectors.

Both are solved with making marginal gains tax hyperregressive. Said CEO would gain little in either case on his salary. (Making it gains also closes loopholes like getting buildings, deals, land, expensive cars or such.)
