I'm working on that too. Paper is king. Unfortunately my paper king has multiple fiefdoms strewn throughout my house and office. Sadly his territory span not just space, but time. There are unsearchable notes in books that cover years. I need to move the kingdom into the digital age.
Which programming language is more readable?
I am coming from ASP Classic background and I am planning to learn a new programming language. So, I chose PHP. But, things like ->, ::, make me confused. I mean how can I easily pronounced it? In, ASP conditions are like,

if conditions then
//Code
end if

You see pretty much easy to read and pronounced the code.

So, my question is which language is more readable and also I can switch to it and my consider my future redirection.
A great quote from the article: "Advertising is the new coal. It was wonderful for propping up the internet economy. It got us to a certain level of economic prosperity, and that’s fantastic. And it also polluted the inner environment and the cultural environment and the political environment because it enabled anyone to basically pay to get access to your mind.
I've been curious about entering into OneNote. I liked the brief experience I had using the Android app. I've been using Google Keep, but I hit a tag limit (50 tags max) that really soured my taste for it since I write about so many different subjects I'd like arbitrary tagging. I need to learn more about the organizing structure OneNote permits.
Ok thanks, i am still learning.

> lack of choices.

Agreed. It is hard perhaps to see that in a tech hub city where there maybe multiple choices of internet or cable providers. In many areas there is only one. They can act like assholes and charge $80 for 1Mbps connection if they want.
That's it. Talk of what happens to you wherever you can. You might be lucky to have someone heard about something similar.

Of course it's the Internet and every advice must be taken with a grain of salt. But you never know.

A close friend to my sister was getting more and more tired. She had multiples examination but her doctor could not find what she had.

First luck she had, her father is a doctor, so she could talk to hers more easily that you or I could.

Second luck she had, while one of those talks, another doctor passed by and heard them talking. It appears that she knew the symptoms from another patient she had in her own country and they finally could put a name on her illness (I can't recall what it was, and it's a very rare disease that explained no one knew about it)

Third luck she had is that it was about time. 2 weeks later she would have die.

So my point is, doctors are not as smart as they believe they are. And telling your story every time it's related to the conversation might result in a discovery like that.

Hope your health stays ok !
No, it's simply that OP did not clarify with any specific problem he had with React Router.

If React Router is not suiting your needs, there are many other options out there. That's the beauty of the ecosystem:

https://github.com/FormidableLabs/redux-little-router
https://github.com/react-community/react-navigation

I'm glad that even React Router was willing to iterate on its implementation.

It takes a couple of hours to do a bit of research and searching to find the solution that fits your needs best.
There are a lot of stocks which have appreciated at least 50% during last 12 months like apple, netflix, amazon etc. Market has gone through a crazy bull ride.
Who cares-- it's not like anybody reads dissertations. :)

My dissertation was composed of several papers which were each published in peer-reviewed journals, so the last unfinished bit just had a lot of "future directions" and became a different grad student's paper (e.g. I passed on the end of the project to someone else to finish and publish), as I recall.
Much like the wicked witch of the west though, the paper king is easily destroyed by water.

You can use 5 line of code to push uiviewcontroller from xib or storyboard. Easier than encapsulate native code to library rn. Xamarin cannot do that
Except step 5 needs two variants, then: "Oh, I see why it happens" and "Oh, I see that it doesn't, so let's find a way to communicate better with the user".
i see, may be i have developed a personal taste to have links opened in new tabs.
I can attest to that - you never know what doors you might want to walk through in the future that require a degree to open (or are a lot easier to open if you have a degree).

Examples...

1) I moved from the UK to Australia last year. Having a degree made it a lot easier for me to get the requisite number of 'points' on their visa system.

2) A friend (from University) who just got a government job in Canada, had to dig out his degree certificate for job application process.

Well written. Pretty much the same story of rulers, kings and emperors of 10th to 19th century India. Or China.

Sorry, you are correct. I was actually thinking of clang's SafeStack (https://clang.llvm.org/docs/SafeStack.html) and Microsoft's Return Flow Guard (http://xlab.tencent.com/en/2016/11/02/return-flow-guard/). Both use shadow or alternate stacks.

Regarding cost, a few years back, I implemented a shadow stack system via static binary rewriting. The overhead was very low, 1-2%. SafeStack claims < 0.1%.
You're quite right. I had misread which parent your comment was referring to. For this case RN would be an odd and probably infeasible choice.
It is also the case on Android. It's nice, because many people will want to install it alongside a full-blown browser. And it makes browser startup quite a bit quicker, making it very much effective at this one-off search use-case.

And it happens to block the vast majority of ads, so Mozilla isn't exactly making friends with webpage owners by supplying this. Had they used Gecko for this, then the percentage of people on Gecko with ads blocked would have risen and that might have resulted in webpage owners spending less time to ensure that their webpage isn't broken on Gecko, therefore effectively dragging down the situation for actual Firefox.

That's a fine question but it can't be answered. Unless there was some creditor saying they would wipe away a significant amount of debt unless that CEO was put in you can't figure out what could have been. Since every CEO that I know of is willing to evaluate and compensate their employees based on their actual results and not "what ifs" then I am perfectly fine evaluating CEOs the same way
Some issues I had with the JS criticisms:

* Many of the examples seemed really contrived. Yes, JS lets you overwrite methods for specific instances (which e.g. can be useful for testing) and assign to array indexes way outside the existing bounds, but I haven't seen either of those cause problems for people.

* The author repeatedly complains about missing features that would only make sense in a language with a type system. Many popular languages used by professionals are dynamic-typed. It's a legitimate way to do programming, and sacrifices safety in favor of flexibility. And just like how most static-typed languages compile to a dynamic-typed target language (usually assembly), JS has two good static type systems (TypeScript and Flow) that compile down to JS in the same way.

* Many of the criticisms apply to many programming languages, and I expect someone comfortable with a few programming languages wouldn't find them too surprising when learning JS. Examples: reference values, implicit exceptions, IEEE floating point edge cases, blockless `if`, switch fallthrough. And many of the examples are disallowed by the default configuration of eslint, which basically everyone uses.

* The criticism of ES2016 seemed really disingenuous, and ignored the vast majority of the progress made to the language in that year. There just happened to only be two features that year that crossed the finish line to make it into the spec. ES2015 and ES2017 were both much more significant, and the JS committee meets regularly and is actively working on about 50 different proposals simultaneously.

That said, some of the criticisms of JavaScript were certainly legitimate, like the `map(parseInt)` example and the `null`/`undefined` issue (although it still is a meaningful distinction that's occasionally useful).

The patent situation is broken in a ton of ways. Just think about the concept for a few minutes and you'll imagine many of the points.

As for the problem you're focusing on, the particular problem is that to actually your patent defensively (the original purpose), you must litigate. To litigate, you must have lawyers, and quite a bit of money. If the other side is capable of buying better lawyers, or lawyers for a longer time, you lose.
Practice is important and when coupled with introspection/self-reflection can help a lot in identifying areas where easy improvement can be developed. However, of equal importance is targeted study. If you want to tell better jokes, study successful comedians and their jokes. If you want to write, read stories by successful writers. Meanwhile, as you do these things always try to understand why the audiences for these things liked them so much.
I might be mistaken on this then. I think it might have been the dev center then, prior to the refresh? I heard this from someone who worked at Apple for years, they were set up in offices across the street from the team they interfaced with at Apple.
While I neither love nor hate Go - I'm really confused about "Go gets tooling right". Is it mostly about the built-in gofmt and compiling to binary? Dependency management is far from right, for example, and so are stuff like hot code reloading, remote debugging, containerized development, etc. How does Go get tooling right compared to, say node/npm or java?

I think some charity is in order here - while it's easy to be mean (see what I did there), it's harder to propose real solutions that will work at scale, indeed lots of websites want to and no-one really has at scale (though many do much better than twitter). I think Paul Graham has been going on about this for years too, at least since he founded this site.

If Paul Graham was somehow associated with twitter I'd have more sympathy with your viewpoint but it's not some sudden epiphany. Ironically, the hot takes of twitter and retweet feature he's complaining about have been used here to misrepresent his views and present it as such for the sake of a cheap rhetorical point.

Also, twitter does have all three points in the article, but it's nowhere near enough (I think they fail at the third point but there are also other more concrete solutions they could try see my link below).
They're self-proclaimed in the sense that the value of the whole field is entirely questionable, and has mostly been defined by those same people.

Aside from the securities fraud concerns, the whole thing just smells like either a pyramid scheme or money laundering. Especially ICOs where the value of the coin being offered are based on sketchy whitepapers or questionable implementations.

But hey, maybe I'm "incredibly stupid" to think that raising many multiple millions of dollars for currencies that are either useless at launch or have no value outside of the money raised through hype is sketchy, and that people who claim to be experts in this field are experts at selling things of questionable value.

>> Several women who worked at the company and quit say their time at Google was often frustrating

That's the overarching problem with being a member of the designated victim class: you can blame your misfortune on being a member of the class, rather than realize that 90% of people at Google aren't really having the time of their lives either. News flash: people do leave Google. If things were awesome for them, they wouldn't leave.
I continue to fail to see your argument: First you claim that any language can be shoehorned into any usage, and then (last paragraph) you yourself show why that isn't quite true.

Plus, as said, Go's language "facilities" are a long shot from Java/Scala/C#'s, while having GC can be prohibitive in other areas (C++, Rust, embedded systems, real-time transaction processing), and some areas (e.g. space exploration) even need the ability to change the runtime code on the fly.
Which is a convenient belief if you're a ruler who wants to ensure a surplus of women for yourself.

I found google keep to be the best for small notes without too much categorization, and google spreadsheet to be the best for larger scoped note taking due to the tabs.
Depends, using Swift as an example.

"Swift is intended as a replacement for C-based languages (C, C++, and Objective-C)."

https://swift.org/about/

"Swift is a successor to both the C and Objective-C languages."

https://developer.apple.com/swift/

So while Swift might not be yet there, if Apple tomorrow releases a system that according to those statements, the only available SDK language is Swift, anyone that wants to be on that system will use Swift, regardless how serious challenger it might be.

As another example, are you aware that Brillo was supposed to be a pure C++ based variant of Android, before they pivoted it into Android Things? Now you can even write user space device drivers in Java.

Microsoft has also adding been adding low level features of System C# into C# roadmap, and UWP model (which they really want to be the future) only uses .NET Native. How far they will push it, who knows.

Windows 10 has a new UI composition engine, naturally it is programmed in DirectX with C++, however all the APIs are exposed as UWP projections and so far, every single demo I have seen used C#.

The big difference between OS companies and the FOSS world regarding systems programming, is that regardless how we think a given language is fitted for a given purpose, they can make it into the only door to the system.

But you are right they are clearly not yet there, and it remains to be seen how far they would actually bully devs into using only those languages.
I'm not sure I'd call ~$500 million a trivial benefit.

Source needed, credible sources about lefties that loved our military dictatorship would be greatly appreciated.

I can agree with you on Getulio Vargas, but I disagree in everything else and would love to see you support your arguments with sources.

I call things what they are, and saying that the left has fond memories of the dictatorship in the same way that the right has is a false equivalence.

I won't say that we don't have a few lefties that admire Stalinism and left-wing dictatorships, but I find very hard to believe that the left is fond of our dictatorship, would gladly read some sources that corroborate your arguments.

Well, I'm of 'leadership age' and when I was young, the only people I saw who were interested in computers were nerdy boys. We were mocked by jock guys and ignored by virtually all girls. So, to me it's a matter of focus. They had fun with romance and sex, we practiced computers. An imbalance seems expected given what I saw. Maybe that will change in time.
There is a convenience factor. You dont have to think if you will be able to play 'xxxx' game on your ps4, if its a ps4 game. That plays heavily in keeping me away from PC gaming. I just dont want to have to even consider can I play the game or not.
I am not up to date. I didn't realize they allow other browsers now. When I was building iOS apps Apple had specific wording which prevented apps in the app store which duplicated functionality already available in iOS. That meant things like the AdBlock Firefox build could not be published in the App Store.

It was, in great part, their legal team and strategy that pushed me away from Apple.

Are you thinking of this: http://www.denisdutton.com/baumeister.htm
Honestly the only big plus for React Native is that it allows to make both iOS and Android apps at the same time. This is huge. I wrote one app and I'm writing second one and I can't say that it's something particularly better than Objective C, for example. May be for very big apps React would win, but for small and moderate apps I feel that React doesn't provide a lot of advantages, but, again, having to write 2x less code is just huge. I don't know Android at all and I released Android version.

This of course will not generate many clicks, since there are dozens of things like this, many of them better-looking and more mature.

One illusion we have is that a great storyteller is great the first time with no practice or anything.

Hangout with someone who tells good stories and you will hear the same story come back often. The more they tell it, the more it sounds like it is the very first time they tell it.

I watched a lot of videos from Seth Godin, even the jokes are the exact same, but everytime the audience is hearing it for the first time.

So yeah. Practice.
