No experience with this exact tool, but I use Reason which is a DAW with a Skeumorphic UI (right down to connecting components with virtual wires) and I find knob-fiddling to work just fine for me. The knobs read from my mouse scroll wheel when I hover the cursor over them. And in some (most?) cases, there's also a value field I can edit directly if I want to be precise.

Or if I want to automate a gradual knob change over time as the song plays, I can either record myself "scrolling" the knob or draw the change into an automation track (and again, can set precise values for knob values at precise times if I want to).

But of course, professionals own hardware that they connect to the DAW, which renders most of that stuff irrelevant.

Can't help you there specifically. However, depending on what you need from jQuery, you might consider writing your own DOM library so you can have some control over the size. If you have a look at some of the comments above, you'll see that many jQuery advantages are met with equivalent features in vanilla JS, just slightly more verbose. It isn't difficult to write a wrapper for some of the major jQuery features. That second link is a terse example of this.
Thank you for the elaboration!

(And for anyone else reading this thread I found an old message along the same topic: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/1998-...)

I'm thinking along these lines now: decompose systems along lines of 'meaning', not data structures (data structures add zero meaning and are a kind of 'premature materialization'), design messages first, late bind everything so you have the most options available for implementation details, etc.

The other thing I'm thinking is why have only one way to implement the internal process of an object/process? There are often multiple ways to accomplish goals, so allow multiple alternative strategies for responding to the same message and let objects choose one eventually.

Edit: wanted to add that IIUC, 'messages' doesn't imply an implementation strategy - i.e. they are messages in the world of 'meaning'. In the world of implementation, they may just disappear (inlined/fused) or not (physical messages across a network), depending on how the objects have materialize at a specific point in time.
I was active in the BBS scene during that time. What could be done over 1200-2400 baud was fairly impressive considering the technical limits. Especially when ANSI and RIP graphics became the norm. Later 4800 and 9600 modems became cheap. By the late 80s these were the norm.

Ordering systems would have been trivial to implement if the political and commercial will was there. Not too long after this you had Prodigy, Compuserve, and AOL offering these kinds of services. I remember they let you order flowers, buy software, etc from their online systems.

The web and tcp/ip internet replacing it all didn't come until much, much later. From 1983-1995 online services were ruled by non-TCP/IP dial-up BBS services and proprietary services like Prodigy. Home internet didn't take off until 1995-1996 and even then it was fairly limited.

>Apple II or Comnmodore

On top of all the PC clones running DOS and Windows (Windows 1.0 was 1985), Amigas, Macs (as you mention), Timex/Sinclair, etc.

Macs were home computers, there were just less of them. Back in those days people paid large prices for home machines, so the pricetags might seem high today but the utility/novelty factors made up for it.
Laptops run 24/7 are (I would think) more likely than desktops to develop heat and wear related hardware faults, and I'd consider anything with a Lithium Ion battery plugged into power all the time in (presumably) a closet or other out-of-the-way place to be a fire hazard (see also: the aforementioned thermal issues, which would aggravate any issues with the battery)
With the recent political ramblings about Facebook, I don't see them sticking around too long. I give them 3-5 years max.

Nope, jigsaw doesn't affect compilation artifacts other than an additional module-info.class present in a .jar file.

There is an intentionally completely unspecified, Oracle/OpenJDK proprietary extension (yes) called jlink that generates different artifacts. The aritfacts are unspecified, only work with Oracle/OpenJDK, and the licensing restrictions for redistribution are unclear.

> are you saying there are is a (nontrivial) runtime component? what does it do?

1. module definitions have to be parsed into memory structures to build a runtime model of the module system

2. the runtime model built in 1. has to be validated

3. every access has to be checked if it is permitted by the module system based on the information from 1.. If it is not permitted a decision has to be taken what should be done, this can include figuring out whether it is the first such access which needs additional memory structures (this is the default). See [1] for more information.

Probably some additional things that I forgot about.

You can create a trivial helper function such as:

let $ = s => document.querySelectorAll(s);

And then use:

for (let p of $('p'))
p.style.color = 'blue';

And if you start doing anything more complex per iteration:

$('p')
.css('color', 'blue')
.addClass('bla')
.filter(function() { $(this).parent().is('article'); })
.removeClass('qwe');

The code becomes much less magical and clearer (it's almost self explanatory):

for (let p of $('p')) {
p.style.color = 'blue';
p.classList.add('ble');
if (p.parentNode.matches('article'))
p.classList.remove('qwe');
}

Also much more debuggable in a debugger, and faster, as you're iterating only once and are not calling many needless functions.
Actually sysdig can do application, container, host, network. Most of sysdig use cases tend to be more focused on the software running on a node vs the network itself.

Couldn't agree more. It took me multiple clicks before arriving at a video that was too long, had no words (except the phone responses), and was mostly made up of fancy fast video cuts. I had to watch the whole thing before I understood how the jacket could interface with the phone. There's was no information about how the jacket or tech works. I spent spent several more minutes trying to find technical details. Like how long until the jacket runs out of battery, assuming it has one... But, I did confirm that the jacket is washable, so there's that.

I think it's a pretty amusing observation about the JS dev community to see some of the responses to this here. Some people are here for Irony Club, some people have no clue there's an Irony Club meeting, and some people are opening up their jQuery wounds and bleeding all over the room.

One thing I'll say about jQuery vs doing POJS (Plain-ol' JavaScript, pronounced Poise, heh) is that jQuery comes from a world where browsers sucked and build processes for JS were virtually non-existent. The market share of sucky browsers is much smaller now, and we have sophisticated build systems for JS. All of the benefits of jQuery (normalization, removing boilerplate, etc) can be had with vanilla plugins that you can put in your project and forget about.

The lingering damage of jQuery is that we have a bunch of jQuery devs in the world now who simply cannot write JavaScript. We've got to move past that.

This was very clearly politically motivated to hamper the efforts of CAGE; a UK based group which lobbies of behalf of young Muslim men who have been detained without charge it gitmo, harassed by the security services etc.

Regardless of whether readers like CAGE's politics (which are considered inflammatory by the government), this raises a worrying precedent.

It's also worth noting that given the UK's recent authoritarian laws, he got off lightly --- this could easily have been spun to possessing encrypted data (while being unwilling or unable to decrypt upon command), which carries a two year sentence, IIRC five if the magic word "terrorism" is conjured.
It actually turns out that you can't. [0]

You are able to turn it down to "Basic" using the GUI, and if you are using the enterprise edition thru corporate volume licensing you can turn it down further to "Security" with admin tools.

There is no way to turn it off completely, and since its cranked up by default, that is where it will stay for the majority of installations.

As an anecdote, even Microsoft employees I've spoken with think it's overreaching and underhanded.

Of course you're right that the advice is for YC startups, that ultimately benefit YC. And, I don't see how YC could even get data on how well this advice works for non-start ups.

But I think it is sensible advice for non-start-ups. Just wish I had some data to back that up...

For example, I think going for a few customers you really help with an urgent problem works better than many customers that you somewhat help.

The garbage thing is that there's not really anything coherent about the "liberal" and "conservative" positions in the US.

And vice-versa. It's mostly historical happenstance, driven by electoral motives and demographic shifting.

I did something like this making six figures and working for a non tech industry. My plan wasn't to retire early, but to save enough to quit for 1-3 years and work on my own ideas. I'm at the own ideas part and things are going well.

I had acquaintances who didnt understand why I lived so far below my means. But most people reluctantly agreed once I explained my plan.

Worst case if this all comes to nothing I can go back to a job.

For perspective, I did this in Houston, was able to buy a house and have a social life. Lower living costs will push that six figures a lot further than it would go in a place like SF.
Although it's a nice thought, the benefit of excel is it's comparatively low barrier-to-entry, ubiquity and transparency (in terms of other people being able to understand how a calculation was derived).

It's not realistic to expect everyone in a company to learn python, and I'm not convinced that replacing shitty excel documents with shitty code would introduce less errors.

Also the concept of 'minimum viable product' in excel is typically adding a couple of columns and adding titles to them. To develop something for others to use in python will take much longer.
Couple items here: we don’t encourage founders to work for free (that’s literally illegal) and the average age of YC Founders is 29 (I hope this is too old to qualify for young and naive). While I don’t think Founders should pay themselves market rate I do this they should pay themselves enough for their reasonable day to day living expenses to not be a distraction.
I think the idea is to use the flexibility of youth to build social connections rather than academic ones. The code you did in high school, or even college, won't (typically) get you a job nor a fulfilling life; the friends you make (typically) will.

This profession, more than any other I think, can allow you to disappear from society chasing knowledge for its own sake and it's pretty easy to wind up 30 with a fat stack of cash and glowing career but no friends, no family and no way to efficiently bootstrap any change.
> if you don't have goals, interests and earned income of your own

But we can only put the very latter in alimony. Can't put goals there.

If you got married and started a family because raising a family was a goal, alimony is related to that. Women have historically been provided for by husbands. For women, marriage has historically been a viable alternative to getting a job.

It isn't like buying a lottery ticket. Being a wife and mom involves a great deal of work. Raising kids well is a goal. Once they are raised, women need to find other things to do.

This seems to be lost on a great many men. Even women seem to often not see it. But it is a reality.

Interesting. I use Workman as well on my 40% keyboards (standard keyboards I use QWERTY and don't even attempt to touch type). I think learning Workman and Vim at the same time is what saved me.

I never remapped anything, I just avoid h/j/k/l (I have my arrow keys bound to the homerow) and added a bunch of bindings (F3-8, for example) that wouldn't normally be of much use to me (sitting behind the fn key on my laptop) but are also homerow-accessible.

I have transitioned to emacs + evil lately, and found that mostly seamless, but I can imagine it would have been rough if I was trying to keep QWERTY muscle memory.
There is an unfortunate trend of people running down jQuery indiscriminately.

Given millions of people used jQuery for years without issue it's difficult to believe those who benefited are going to run it down publicly because they found something better.

The only people who would do this are those marketing something else. This is by far the worst part of tech forums, this kind of insidious marketing that seeks to 'force obsolence' on software and entire groups of people happily using it because some are promoting their own thing.

Oh you are absolutely right. If you take it way back to first principles, you have two parties that need to get at least 50% + 1 of the population to vote for them (or at least people who vote). How do they accomplish that? They plant their flag on the side of a position, then their competitor plants their flag on the other side to counter it. If their competitor plants their flag, they have to plant their flag on the other side of their position. If a third party comes along, they could plant their flag on the sensible sides of these issues (and make the existing parties look out of touch), so the two parties actively prevent third parties from gaining traction. It's a political oligarchy, and to make things shittier, these are private (non-government) organizations that control our political system.

Wedge issues in the US are a good example of this. They will never get solved, politicians have no intentions to solve them either. They exist as a place to plant a flag every cycle. They also serve as a centerpiece of a campaign so politicians don't have to try to solve the hard, unsolvable problems, like how to improve the economics of the non-coastal areas, criminal justice reform, rolling back the drug war without admitting a Vietnam defeat, how to roll back the Middle East policies without admitting a Vietnam defeat, etc.
