Polymer was released and worked on as a library while the spec was being worked on. Polymer 0.x and 1.x targeted a version that was only implemented in Chrome, which was used to build the eventual standard, and Polymer 2.x targets the final standard.

The API for web components isn't that bad. You have to stamp DOM templates yourself using whatever process, you have to handle attributes and properties yourself, and that's about it. Lots of boilerplate, but a library like Polymer can take a simple, opinionated approach to handle it for you.

From my experience Web Components have been pretty pleasant to use with or without Polymer, it's just a matter of wiring everything up if you go vanilla.

The T470 review is at https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T470-Core-i5-F... - but keep in mind that's a 15W i5. The 35W CPUs in the T470p produce a lot more heat. I'm sure notebookcheck has a review of that, too.
Although I have to say that I agree with this sibling comment:

So you want Google to ship updates where parts of the hardware just stop working? That sounds fucking awful, no thanks.

And yes ARM's ecosystem has largely still not standardized on self-discover or self-configuration because they have no incentive to. They just hardcode whatever configuration they need and call it a day.

I'll second this book, but also recommend Grob's Basic Electronics. Also very expensive...

...but that last bit has a caveat: These books are only expensive if you opt for "the latest edition". If you are doing this at a hobby level (vs taking a dedicated college course or similar), purchasing an older edition will serve you just as well. Electronics haven't changed that much between today and when the book's prior revision was published (or the revision before that - or even 5+ revisions ago).

Most of the changes are likely going to be very small and minor errata (spelling mistakes most likely).

All that said, Art of Electronics doesn't appear too expensive, even for a current edition (provided you stay away from the academic hardcover version, I'd imagine). Grob's is on a different level price-wise, but again, you can find cheaper versions.

I'd also like to point out Forrest M. Mims III's "Engineer's Mini Notebooks" series as something to go along with the above two books as well (or alone, if you just want the quick-n-dirty hack-on-electronics thing). They were originally sold by Radio Shack back in the day, but today can be picked up via Mims' site (which I think just redirects to Amazon). Old "vintage" copies (the new version combine multiple notebooks into one) can also be had fairly cheaply. They don't go into as much depth as the earlier mentioned books, but they can prove to give a quick and good understanding of the basics (provided you consume them in the proper order of course).

But if you're serious about electronics, they can't substitute for the previous mentioned volumes; get those first, then get the Mims volumes later (IIRC, Mims did write a separate book on learning electronics - it's probably mentioned on his site).
> named after a ditto river

I'm assuming you are talking about Amazon, but this phrase caught my eye, and a quick net search turned up nothing: what on earth is a "ditto river"?
> Clear goals are for junior "code monkeys" who just do what they are told without any concern for if they are going the right thing.

Yeah, this is so true.

I think the task with an clear process to do it have an clear goal. But other than that, tasks that's very vague such as design an API, design schema to efficient some kind of certain query usually requires a bit of art, and we learn from the mistake/success of last similar project to improve this one.
Yeah, it is very subjective. Of course, have you ever found an objective definition for any value judgement of text?

If someone doesn't want to handle his own email server, a simpler alternative is to buy email services for a domain you own; it will be easier to change provider if needed since, unlike a @gmail.com address, you won't need to change any address.

Edit: of course you will need to download and keep the emails by yourself if you don't want to lose access to them, but that's much easier than handling a whole server.
If you are using it to enforce a formating over a code base, ok a good enough formater will do.

But one of the biggest use cases of a code formater is for understanding bad code. If it can't format bad code, that use case is gone.
One of the classes late in my undergrad program was computer engineering for comp-sci. Took us through basic combinatoric circuits, mux/demux, 7 segment display decoding, all that classic ttl stuff.

The only difference between promises and observables are multiple-emission & cancelation, they shouldn't be any more complicated to use or test than promises. Often I find the main complicated part is the source, everything else is just filter/map functions, sometimes to more streams. All of these individual units are more easily described/tested in comparison to the entire chain (and even then you are only caring about the ends of it).

I'm going to repost the same comment I made on /r/math:

> By trading places, students could get another shot at a place. At schools for which they already had a go in the lottery. This would give them better chances. At the expense of students that don’t (or can’t) trade. This is unfair.

This argument here is not correct. It's not at anyone's expense. The two people trading both benefit, and other students are unaffected. Not everything is zero-sum; not every benefit is at somebody's expense! (The strategy argument -- that people had been explicitly told the system was strategy-free, and it would be wrong to go back on that guarantee by allowing trading -- makes much more sense.)

This is an interesting article about social choice theory but the non-mathematical parts seem to be making some implicit assumptions about "fairness" that are, let's say, not exactly uncontroversial. And the argument I point out above is just in error.

I think at this stage, we should focus on keeping the cost of infrastructure low(use free-tie of mailchimp), static html to avoid high server fee.

With the low cost, we can put energy into increase subsrribers and engagement rate.

I had the book in the picture as a kid or one very similar to it. I was too young but my older brother used to type those games into our Apple 2C and we'd play them. Later my older sister taught me how to make madlib programs on the 2C and I'd make those for my friends when they came over. They taught me everything about computers and somehow I'm the one who ended up a developer. :) I remember how much it used to bug me when I'd forget a step in my BASIC programs and have to insert a step on the '5'.

I'm talking really stupid, small, frustrating things, mostly at the interfaces. I read a return x at the bottom of one function and call the function elsewhere and try to use x, but oh wait no.. it was an async function so I've really got Promise<x>.

Generally it's just because of the leaky abstraction making very fast mental mapping of code a bit harder.
Async/await can be used to implement coroutines, but IIRC only if you wrap all of the code that might be called in async/await as well, and this catch makes them practically useless. Why not just provide proper coroutines?
The reality is that none of us know whether what we're doing will be important, or to what extent.

If AWS were to go to a per-minute billing cycle, they would be instantly more price-competitive with Google's offering. Or, to put it the other way around, those leftover minutes form a significant chunk of AWS's profit margin.
That's a valid argument. But if you're sitting in Thailand controlling an entity (i.e. making payments, etc) on say Jersey, does that argument make sense? It's an artificial arrangement for the most part. (Not that I'm against the practise since it's legally possible in some jurisdictions; just an observation)

Here's the thing:

If you have a potential patent claim against Facebook (or any other large entity) you know that they will, as a matter of course, dig through their enormous stockpile of patents looking for some counter-claims to make the second you file. Given the size of that stockpile, they're probably going to end up with a sizeable stack, so you need to engage in some serious due diligence before filing to evaluate the strength of your claims and the strength of their likely claims.

All the React patent grant means is that, IF this happens, they can add any React-based patents to the pile, if any exist. I rather suspect that there are no React-based patents, but it doesn't really matter if they are, because statistically speaking, it's not going to materially change the size of the stack. (Not using React entirely also won't materially change the size of the stack; any hypothetical React patents probably apply to whatever hypothetical non-React tech you used instead.)

> it also discourage you from exercising any patent you have against Facebook

No, what discourages you from exercising a patent against Facebook is that they're Facebook, and they have vastly more money, lawyers, and patents than you do. The potential React patents are the least of your worries.

Are you wanting to only ever work for people who have a superset of your knowledge? Who know everything you do (for evaluation purposes) but probably also even more? That sounds miserable.

I consider it part of my job to produce results that demonstrate my skill to my manager. I don't want to be micromanaged, and the most effective way I've found to get independence of method is by demonstrating quality of results.
Great thorough comparison and falls very into line with my experience. Definitely worth the read. Thanks!

> That's because government is an adversary to anyone who doesn't agree with what it's doing. There is no such thing as "populace cooperation" unless all of the populace agrees on what should be done. That is very rarely the case; most cases of "populace cooperation" are a portion of the populace using the coercive power of the government to force everyone else to do the things that portion of the populace thinks are good ideas.

Cooperation doesn't mean that everyone gets their way. It's rare enough that two people want the exact same thing, even less a group of people. Having a country want the same thing is infeasible. Cooperating means compromising to maximise total utility.

> But if all the government does is "policing" in this sense--preventing people from oppressing others--then almost all of what governments do today would be off the table.

I didn't say that it is all it does, or should do, merely that the alternative to "government oppression" is oppression by individuals/corporations/groups, and you don't get a vote. Personally I think there are a lot more good things than just that aspect that our collective invention of government brings.

Because people don't need coroutines, just a simpler way to write async code than callbacks and manual promises.

Casual sex is not enough to explain this. In occident women decline this kind of proposals all the time. The european men know that this is normal and not a drama. Is deeply engraved in the culture.

3. The women did something that was taken as a menace to his current ego/status and elicit a strong 'defensive' reaction.

The journalist can't be a menace for his wife or family (It seems they are publicly in an open relation). So probably is not sexual.

The man loves with passion other thing; His work. Maybe she did something that was seen as a menace against the other love of his life, his submarine. Maybe she poke around and tried to sneak/photograph/open/discover some parts of the engine with the purpose to earn some bucks selling the submarine secrets when returning to China. I'm speculating of course, but unless he was drunk or drugged (unprobable while driving a sub), or both where flirting for months by e-mail and he feels cheated, there should be a solid reason for she being 'punished' with death. This is not a random act IMAO.
