> automatic memory management (compared to Fortran/C);

C wasn't even a thing when Lisp systems happened and they were running on computers that were quite humble when compared with PDP-11.

When will JavaScript AOT compile to native code, or provide primitives for systems programming like Lisp?
So if I'm starting a new project and I know that I can achieve the same result with either Go or Scala, how do I choose without comparing?
> The community is though, if you don't do things with redux, react-router, etc then you're considered odd

A bit disingenuous there. In general people find Redux quite complicated and it everyone acknowledges it requires quite a bit of boilerplate when used in the default way. Quite a few like MobX, or using their own state management.

I've found the community to be very open to alternatives and helpful.
>If your retort is that these platforms are companies, then you have to apply the same reasoning to Comcast, Verizon, and many others that control the last mile. If CEOs of those companies also decide to engage in "community grooming", life could get very interesting.

Do you agree or disagree with the notion that the google play store or twitter have communities while ISP do not (and, according to net neutrality proponents: should not)?
(At this point of the discussion: regardless of what you think of the specific community grooming actions taken)

Because if one side has communities and the other does not, then your comment is comparing apples to oranges. (in the context of net neutrality)
A lot of practical advice in the comments so far. Practice is important. Don't wait in your story to hint at the outcome. Don't give the punch line until it is time but entice the audience with what is coming early on. Hook them.

There are short TED talks on giving TED talks. Here is but one play list. https://www.ted.com/playlists/226/before_public_speaking

If you must have slides

-- don't use bulleted text much
-- don't use much text at all
-- use images, pictures, sketches

See how boring that is.

And don't read your slides when you do have text.

I'm much better at presentations than one on one. I tend to provide more details than I should one on one. There is room for improvement.
Haha love it, what were the primary frustrations?
Very well put. This has helped me crystallize my own opinions about react.

There's something very unlikeable (to me) about basic things like a router not being in the library (or should I say framework) I'm choosing.

I like the way how you articulate your thoughts about keeping dislikes aside and focusing on architectural issues more.
My bad. I'll take a look at this soon!

Update: Fixed the FF bug. Many thanks for taking the time to report! :)
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll need to check out what Scrapbook is all about :)

Edit: Okay, looks similar. Except that PageDash lives on the cloud. And hopefully with that comes multi-device support in the future. And also hopefully a much better UI.

"Market cap" in cryptos is meaningless. If you add up everything on coinmarketcap.com, you get $146 trillion total. About $60 trillion is the total GDP of the ENTIRE WORLD. ($75 trillion if you include M3.)

Any number that makes out that tokens whose entire real-life pricing is based entirely on speculation is bigger in some sense than all real world economic activity may not be a good measure.
These are hardly complex tasks, they could be done by computers from the 70s. It's quite possible that Windows makes a mess of it anyway, of course.

But the top comment was about how interrupts from the network card interfere with interrupts from the sound card so it can't keep its buffer filled. That shouldn't happen.

Unless the CPU just isn't fast enough to do networking and decode or generate the audio at the same time, but then it's never going to work properly.
I think it would be really interesting to build something like dispora as a suite of dockerised micro-services which would allow you to add and extend functionality based on a new social-networkong protocol in a language-agnostic way.

> Just 2% of its employees are black, 4% Hispanic, and 35% Asian.

Since Asians are at most 4% of the US population, that means they're extremely overrepresented at Google (and other tech companies), by almost ten times their proportion of the population at large. Yet we still see articles like this one highlighting the Asianness of their subjects as if it amplifies their victim status, subtly blaming whites for the underrepresented blacks and Hispanics that overrepresented Asians have crowded out, and treats as legitimate their complaint that while indeed horribly overrepresented as employees at these companies, they aren't just as horribly overrepresented in executive positions.

And the left still wonders why white racial identity politics and advocacy is now a thing.

I don't know anything about you, so don't take me too seriously.

If you tried to change something, and zero out of twenty people respond well to it at all, have you considered the possibility that it might be you, not them, that should do something differently? A hands-off approach requires a clear mission, motivation, and most of all trust. I don't think "a week or two" of you trying to change something will magically make things different.

To me it sounds like the difference between managing and leading. If you want to be a leader, you might need to invest a bit more time to learn how to do that. Blaming your coworkers for your own shortcomings is the best way never to learn anything. [Again, see disclaimer above.]
Scenario...

Twenty years ago an astute and entrepreneurial young man named John took over his father's taxi company, Orange Cab based in San Diego. Exploring ways to reach potential customers, he found that all the cab companies in town were marketing their services through the same traditional mediums - newspaper ads, Yellowbook listings, billboards, etc. Not sure what else he could do, he remembered he still had 4 free hours of America Online credit, and decide to see if the internet had any advice. Then it struck him... Maybe my competitors have websites that I could browse for hints on how they advertise. The search came up empty. Damn he muttered, "none of them have websites", to which his wife Jane (expertly lurking from the nearby davenport desk) quips, "well neither do you, so maybe you should get a website". I have a brilliant idea, he thinks while slightly tilting his monitor away from Jane, maybe I should get a website. He types into the Lycos search bar "how. to. make. a. website." enter, "You know in that technology class I took last semester they taught us how to make a webpage using HTML", pipes Jane; then she smiles and taps John on the shoulder "move over".

After building the website they noticed things starting to pick-up a bit, and in a short few years they were beginning to see real growth; recently their was a nice spike in their marketshare after implementing an online form to request rides directly from their homepage. Younger crowds in particular preferred to request rides over speaking with someone on the telephone.

Fast-Forward ~10 years...

Orange Cab is not so little anymore. They now manage fleets in 14 metropolitan areas and recently incorporated so they could merge with Yellow Cab, making them the biggest cab company in the US. A few days after the merger, Jane (formerly Orange Cab's head of operations) had a meeting with Yellow Cab CEO to see how her role would change after the merger. She came into the meeting excited with ideas about how to innovate to reach new customers (particularly since the new operating budget was 10x the pre-merger budget). She started by sharing an idea where the whole point-to-point experience, from cab request to fair payment is managed entirely by a little software applications on someone's mobile phone. Jane, Jane, Jane, ahhh silly Jane, we are not a tech company. Yes, the website has been really helpful, but don't those smartphone things have a web browser? We are the biggest taxi company in the US, and we have a veteran management team, what's the worst that could happen!

I could see a service business rolling Diaspora out on-site to organizations.
I think poaching users is fair game and should be perfected across all the platforms. Basically, sharing on FB links that are hosted on a Diaspora instance. So the act of sharing on FB increases exposure for the instance.

Yes we've started using it a couple of months ago. What attracted us is how easy it is to build an isomorphic app with Marko.

I would not recommend it to anyone though. There is a world of difference between what they advertise on their website and the reality of using it as your framework.

Some key take-away for us so far:

Pros:
- the idea and principles behind marko are brilliant.
- it does render relatively fast

Cons:
- it is bug ridden with inexplicable error messages. Not beta version bug ridden, not alpha version bug ridden but pre-alpha version bug ridden...
- top level elements can't have a state, which made templates impossible to use (still need to make sure that's completely true, we haven't tried everything we could).
- when doing back-end rendering, the browser still waits for the JS bundle before rendering. Almost completely defeating the purpose of an isomorphic app...
- Marko does not come with a state manager. We had to build our own.
- We haven't started using their router yet but having a quick look at it it seems to have an utterly bad API. They could have gone all the way and embed the path definition into the marko files but no, we get some awful JSON to work with...

My guess is that some very talented engineers at eBay rightly decided that the current state of UI frameworks is terrible and started remedying it. Then, deadline and other commitments made it hard for them to support the framework enough for it to be usable by third parties. It is still a great achievement and I find marko interesting but cannot possibly recommend it against React (haven't used enough of Vue.js to have a valuable opinion on it).
> Those who consider javascript a good language usually lack the experience to compare languages effectively

Javascript IS a powerful language with features that were not in other mainstream language for decades and some still don't have: first class functions, dynamic typing, lambda functions, closures etc. You only have to look at the diverse uses of Javascript to appreciate how far that power goes.

As for the warts of JS any experienced Javascript programmer has learned to work around those and it takes a small effort to learn how to do so.

> Proof on that "mostly" again?

You really need proof that the majority of the web is written in PHP?

As for an entry point for unskilled labour, my first PHP code was written after I'd been a C++ programmer for 20 years. I found it similar to Javascript; some warts to be aware of but otherwise a powerful language it's possible to be very productive in in a short amount of time. I refer you to the look at the many Facebook tech blog posts on the topic.

Whilst PHP has some limitations around it's runtime model, if you can stick within it the modern PHP is a very good tool for backend development.

> modern lisps are either NOT OO or support it poorly

Have you read up on CLOS? It goes way beyond the features of, say, C++ object model. By limiting yourself to a subset you can have the basic OOP features; inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation. It provides more and arguably non-oop features such as multiple dispatch, methods that can run before, after and around your own methods (aspect oriented in modern parlance).

There is an excellent book by Sonya Keene on CLOS and OOP in Common Lisp.
What I meant is that the lack of features in Go has made it easy for us: All existing comparisons are probably sufficient.

All you need to decide on now is if you prefer syntactic simplicity over percieved feature boat, if it's a web development project or not, and if you can benefit from existing code in your language of choice or not.

Pick at least 2/3 to decide... :-)

Note that they actually did set the minimum requirement to "a PC video card from 10 years back": http://store.steampowered.com/app/584400/Sonic_Mania/

Memory bandwidth is the main concern when blitting several layers of pixels 1:1, unless you have some kind of crafty system in place for avoiding overdraw. Although Sonic Mania seems to genuinely use a 320x240-ish internal framebuffer, so my wild guess is that the bottlenecks relate to scaling and post-processing, or possibly some funky driver use causing sync issues.
For taking notes you don't need todos or the agenda -- it's heirarchical, fast to search through, and pleasing to the eye (at least, to a similar level to markdown). Aside from that, the syntax is at least as expressive, if not more so because of the extensibility of the language it's written in.

Yes, buying into the todo and agenda systems effectively requires using an external integration script or using emacs all the way through, so that's not all that great. I, too, have yet to figure out how to integrate it into the usual PIM stuff like next loud calendars, etc.

Has anyone else managed to figure this bit out?

I recently tried it again, Laverna is very buggy and I just received an email from dropbox noting that the api they used is being deprecated. The app isn't really native, just a chromium window running a local web app.

So if it needs to be mobile, I am using onenote, but have to use the web app in Linux, and search is useless on the web app. So for desktop only, I use Zim. Cross platform, lots of plugins, stores everything in a file system with markdown.
I haven't been able to get SVG to render in the notes though, which would be awesome, then I could just edit my diagrams and pictures with Inkscape.
I can read the notes on mobile devices as they are just in markdown, but a mobile app really is needed.
I once tried to use one note for taking notes for work (1:1s, etc.) on a surface pro 4, and found that unless you go to great lengths, OneNote does everything it can to sync your notes to OneDrive. Even after turning off sync for specific books, those books ended up in OneDrive. In the end, I had to uninstall onedrive, disable syncing globally, and then login to OneDrive to delete the previously synced copies.

So users that care about privacy in their notes beware: it does take a bit of work to turn off all of the cloud functionality.
I use Onenote a lot for handwritten notes and also web clipping, and even for typing its fine and has been around long enough that i don't really worry about it going anywhere. Since it's included in the Office365 subscription and on all major platforms, i prefer it to Evernote. It isn't perfect, but for a complex tool like this it is immensely useful.

"the amount spent on health has been rising over the long-term"

The point is that the amount being spent IS NOT ENOUGH to offset the growth in demand for services. That is why the NHS faces a £30 billion funding gap by 2020 - as the article explains in full.

As to the US comparison, that will continue as long as the US approach to health care is the one that's favoured by right-wing politicians in the UK. They are not (yet) touting the Japanese or Finnish models. So we don't care about those comparisons.
Can you please describe this setup ?
Nowadays I only consider switching front-end frameworks if there is a substantial conceptual improvement. React did this for me due to its uni-directional dataflow and component-based architecture. There is nothing new here conceptually.
> a trusted decentralized search, to me, means that a solution is imminent.

Yes, something like Lucene didn't exist when Google Inc started in 1998 so the community could theoretically build a new search engine on it (or other similar open-source text indexing technology).

However, this overlooks the dynamic where Google will continue to innovate new algorithms for search results while the community is trying to "catch up" to Google with yesterday's technology (Lucene). Google isn't standing still.

This is similar to the dynamic where opensource Hadoop is not as good as Google's new "mapreduce" they use internally.[1] Same situation with GIMP that still doesn't have feature parity with Photoshop even though GIMP has been updated for 21 years.

That creates a feedback loop where users continue to use Google in 2027 because the open-source federated alternative is still "catching up" with Google 2017 and delivers worse results.

I think people underestimate what it takes to replicate Google's search intelligence. Something like Lucene only covers the text indexing. A major part of the software is the data center operations and coordination
processing pipeline. Maybe datacenter/cloud software like OpenStack might be leveraged to help coordinate a hundred thousand processing nodes but it's still far short of replicating what Google does.

>Even if a decentralized Google was available there is no marketing machine behind it. There's no reason for people to adopt it.

But google search didn't have marketing behind it either.
In 1999, they didn't run ads on Super Bowl or Wired Magazine. It's fast adoption was spread by word-of-mouth because everybody saw right away that it had better results than the junk returned by AltaVista, Excite, AOL, etc.

If the federated community search engine is truly better, people will use it.

I think I understand it quite well having worked for more than a decade on complex systems.
I can't say the same for you if you think that putting some logic in the presentation layer like the example above is a good thing.
I would always transform my domain in the model object while the presentation layer should only present the transformed model.
Using a map function directly in JSX is a sure recipe for disaster in a complex system.
But I seriously doubt that you can understand this looking at your answer.
