Looks like Plexus Interop is yet another middleware abstraction layer. Dresdner did something similar 15 years ago when they open sourced Open Adaptor. There's no special source here - no interesting pricing, risk management, quoting, order management or hedging functionality. The source code to Autobahn should be more interesting if it ever gets released since it's DB's single dealer platform across all asset classes. It should include some interesting trading logic.
Good to know, thanks.

You haven't explained why it would be inaccurate, so your statement is just as meaningless though.
From the article:

“So far, the founders have had little contact with Ikea, except for a letter from the company’s lawyers.

“It was the nicest letter ever from their lawyers, saying, ‘It’s fine, you can do whatever, just remember that we have a registered trademark,’ ” Mr. Christensen said. (There is now a disclaimer buried deep in Reform’s website indicating that the company is not affiliated with Ikea).“
Surely the common case is that you don't want to search generated files? Or at least I personally am almost never interested in generated files because they're not the ones I'm going to be changing/doing stuff with.
Maybe I’m missing something amid all the technocratilly minded discussions on the virtues of paying dividends vs stock buybacks vs the issue of whether the profits of a company are more efficiently used to fund new investment compared to returning profits to shareholders (one way or another) so they can reinvest.

I thought the broader point was that successful companies are amassing profits, derived, presumably, from overall increased productivity.

But instead of sharing this surplus equitably amongst all the employees, by, for example, raising wages, executives are engaging in strategies that increase their share of the surplus, and possibly the shareholders share, at the expense of the lower level workers.

Thanks for your comment, but I'm still a little confused, though.

> You can't use external component which depends on MyCustomButton 1.0 and then use MyCustomButton 2.0 in the rest of your app (this is called dependency hell and it is no issue for google because of their monorepo design so it basically does not exists at all for them but IT IS issue for me and probably even for you)

Can you do that with React? The only way I can think of to do that (both in React and Polymer) would be to rename the component, or pass an api-version prop.

As for the rest, lots of acronyms I'm not aware of :-)

P.S.: are you Polish? If yes, where do you live..? I'm in Wrocław.
Provable code would solve the root cause, yes. :) However, even with provable code, the proof actually has to be both correct and performed. There are too many competing factors that won't allow idris, for example, to actually work.

The result is that, as an industry, the Internet and the world's business are held together by twine, twist ties, and spaghetti code. Even this very webpage is just enough to work for most people a lot of the time.

I visited an IKEA store for the first time 2 days ago. It was fascinating experience. Before, I only knew of IKEA abstractly from the jokes & memes about their furniture being impossible to assemble.

Actually walking through the place was extremely interesting. Observations...

- it was the busiest furniture store I've ever been in for a non-holiday shopping day. I've never seen a Rooms-to-Go that busy.

- the walkways are deliberately zig-zagged in serpentine fashion around the showroom. I likened it to museum exhibits (especially traveling exhibits) or Disney venues that move people through a space in sequential fashion. For people already familiar with showroom, they can go through the shortcut doors in the middle of room. Even little things like the arrows on the ground were unique; instead of being painted on or vinyl adhesive, the arrows are actually lit from cans above your head.

- the Ikea restaurant was actually full. Costco would be another rare example of the food court being full. Most restaurants in retail stores are usually empty and a mind-boggling waste of floor space. E.g. the restaurants inside Fry's Electronics and Macy's department store are always empty; you also knew Borders bookstore was dying when you saw nobody sitting in the store's coffee shop.

- the housewares seem to be a good value. E.g. The 1-quart hermetic jars at ContainerStore were $6.99 but the equivalent at Ikea was $2.99.[1][2] I chuckled when I noticed that even the jars were do-it-yourself: you had to install the rubber ring on the lid! I think lots of customers would be willing to do that to save $4.00.

I bought most of my furniture many years ago from Ethan Allen but I walked away from Ikea totally impressed their retail concept and presentation. They hit the sweet spot combination of aesthetics + DIY + price.

As for the article, I noticed that many hobbies (e.g. sewing and crafting) have converged on Ikea as the common-denominator for organization. The analogy of Ikea carcasses as a "platform" makes perfect sense. E.g. there's a company that makes storage displays to subdivide the Ikea cubes.[3] Ikea is the closest thing in the furniture industry to have "standardized pieces" for others to build on.

Ikea is not the only place to buy DIY ready-to-assembly furniture. Home Depot, Lowes, and Office Depot have particle board cubes as well. The difference is that IKEA is very standardized with long-running product lines (more than a decade). You can build out in incremental steps as the budget allows. You can buy one cube or drawer cabinet from Ikea and 5 years later, you add another cube that matches. Home Depot and Lowes will have "flavor-of-the-month" storage products from different vendors depending on whatever contracts were favorable at the time.

One could argue that tool like this makes no sense since make is installed almost everywhere but I'm already using fish shell so one more non standard tool makes no difference. I appreciate simplicity of "just".
A curious fact is that Debian name their releases after Toy Story characters.

On a more serious note: It’s great that Linux is now sufficiently mature that even a 3 year old release is perfectly adequate and can do pretty much whatever you need. Maybe I’m misremembering here, but it didn’t always used to be like that.
> What matters is if there is anything to transition to.

There will always be something to transition to. It's not because we cannot imagine it that it means there is nothing ahead of us. Like 75% of the jobs people have nowadays did not exist 100 years ago, and nobody at that time could have imagined them.

As someone who has been choosing CentOS for the same purpose, what would be some reasons for me to switch off the top of your head?
My favourite questionable practice is from Hyperoptic. They advertise gigabit broadband, and this is accurate.

But the wifi hotspot they provide is only capable of a small fraction of that (theoretically 130mbit, practically 70mbit), but you can get the full gigabit if you use ethernet. This discrepancy isn't mentioned at any point until you start digging around in the FAQs or in some forums around the internet:

https://support.hyperoptic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/205590822-W...

But I plugged in a proper wifi hotspot (one capable of at least gigabit) and I got the full advertised speed.

I believe this is an intentional trick to avoid saturation of their network.

The statement is true for most enterprise software. That's the point!

I would add that if a bad cook can make an average salad, it doesn't make any easier to accept the fact that we make robots which can barely do better.

In other words, instead of replacing the cook by a machine, we should train him to cook better. And we should train people to make the difference between a soulless dish and a good one.

(I cook for myself and I can assure you that a machine can't cook; it can assemble ingredients, that's for sure but there's no creativity (and believe me, the simplest dish, if infused with creativity, can taste so much better))
It is indeed silly to write the same type of code over and over, and that's why people automated it 10 years ago. This is exactly why Rails made such an impact; it automated the boring stuff, and I think Rails does pretty much everything you mention. And what Rails did for Ruby, Django then did for Python, Grails for Groovy, etc. I suspect there's a framework like this for every language out there.

Of course some websites need something different than CRUD, and especially with the modern trend of SPAs talking to JSON APIs, not everybody needs a simple CRUD website, which is why there are also lots of other frameworks. But if you quickly need a simple CRUD site, the tools still exist.

If those tools are not good enough, then build on them and make something better. There's always room for improvement. But the thing you're asking about has existed for 10 years now.

I think there is a dissonance between smart personalized suggestion and being against tracking.

Which is the main downfall of DuckDuckGo they use as the smart bar search engine.

If you want good suggestions and smart personalization you need to track your user.

If you don't want to track your user for privacy concern, it's all good but then don't give user a product like suggestions that will always be subpar compared to someone else that is for user tracking.

I'm not sure I agree.

The essential complexity usually isn't that hard.

From a high level view - most apps are basic.

Even a second order articulation of function i.e. 'screen here, buttons here, images here, button does this' etc. is not that hard.

Below that, it's kind of a mess.

The byzantine tools we have (I'm talking to you HTML/CSS/JS), to complete the task engender a massive amount of 'arbitrary complexity' and make doing anything really quite hard.

Which is why, by the way - once you have a Dev that becomes 'really familiar' with a 'specific stack' - they can move really quite quickly.

But most of the tools we have are a mess, and they keep changing, hence, all the complexity in our systems - which grows exponentially across more and more developers until you have any number of very smart people all trying to paint a Picasso at the same time.

FYI - I believe that making an app shouldn't be that-that much more complicated than making an FB page.

There isn't really a lot of 'essential complexity' in most apps, I think.
