> But in the case of wifi or bluetooth you don't have to think about if your transfer medium supports the protocol or not

Sure you can - it's gotten better in recent years, but it used to be that a lot of devices didn't support WPA2. This was (typically at least) not fixed in software.
Julia is really fun to work with.I really love the REPL, multiple dispatch and the way you easily introspect code upto native assembly code.
The article makes it sound like Google's bet failed because of ageism. Google hires young kids. Like all kids, they are interested in fun. The moment something is not fun anymore, kids lose interest. Acqhiring some smart old farts in robotics, then teaming them up with a bunch of kids just slowed the old ones down. Held back industry for 4 years.

Not a flattering narrative for Google's public image.
You will always have a worst employee, but that's not what "dead weight" means. To be dead weight at a company with good talent, you have to be multiple categories below almost everyone.

>No need to label and insult them on their way out

You never need to say when someone didn't do their job, but it's not a terrible thing to do so either. Don't go out of your way to be insulting, but if the basic facts of the situation are insulting, then so be it.

>when you have to tighten your company's belt.

They stated very clearly that it was not about belt-tightening at all. Do you think they're lying?
The Soviet Union obtained the technology through espionage against the United States and the UK. China's program was greatly accelerated with help from the Soviet Union. China's current program is based on espionage against the United States, dating back at least to the 1970s.
The article implies that you should architect your system around your existing team boundaries. This is harmful and counterproductive. You should identify the sub-units of your system first, and then you can come up with an organizational structure that work effectively with your architecture.

Wow, that sounds awful.

It's a losing situation all around, between the company not getting what it intended (firing the pre-existing dead weight, and getting rid of scapegoats) and, of course, the employees who are duped into joining just to be fired later.

> From my (possibly flawed) understanding, because USB-C switches modes to carry something like DisplayPort, for example, you can't also carry a USB-C signal at the same time, so you can't split USB-C (without one of the ports shutting off while in that mode).

I'm not sure how all those one-cable USB-C docking stations work then, as they carry video and audio one direction (to the dock and then out to the screen), and multiple USB devices and power the other direction (from the wall and connected peripherals and through the dock). If it truly couldn't do multiple things at once, none of these docking stations would work with a single cable, and they do.
This is a fake human rights foundation.
100 cigarettes seems like a very low threshold, that’s 5 packs of 20, even moderate smokers (>10 per day) could go through 200 in a month.
I was stoked before getting my Dell Precision 5510 (aka XPS 15 Pro) that it would have a USB-C docking station. It would be awesome with one tiny cable for power+displays+all my desktop USB devices.

But it's never actually worked, I ended up RMAing the docking station. Since the laptop itself can only support one display, I can't have dual monitors. So now I have a 43" 4K monitor, a USB hub and a power connector that I need to plug in/out all the time. And Win10 still gets confused about DPIs and scaling and stuff.

On my ancient-but-still-kicking Dell Precision, at least the docking station actually works and you can simply click in and out in three seconds.

And I don't want to have a credit card. Are there any other companys provide this feature?

Saying students are "expected" to plagiarise is simply insulting.

"Being aware" is a common phrase understood by most native english speakers as a synonym of "conscious". If you are asleep, you are not aware of much. If you get hit by a car as you cross the road it's probably because you weren't aware of it. You can do some actions, like driving, either consciously or unconsciously.

I didn't say that all "people" have inner voices (by which I meant inner life). But by that definition, it's a requirement to be conscious.
No. Just look inside European Union, where the legislation is about the same and differences in wages are 5x. What can you blame here?

I really really don't like the idea of having 3 different runtime libraries (or maybe even the same library with slightly different versions) loading at the same time.

It's quite unanswered how are they dealing with styling. There's always a specific percentage of styles being shared between components. Should we duplicate these styles? I see they are going to talk about it soon (Isolated CSS / Coherent User Interface / Style Guides & Pattern Libraries).

One of the biggest joys that I had recently in front-end development is the idea of a one-way, cross-application shared state. This goes away, too.

Maybe I'm just being hyper-conservative. I need examples of the benefits of this approach in something that it's not a simple product picker.
I had to read through the middle of the second paragraph to realize that this is not about politics.
How Google is remaking itself as a “machine learning first” company
$1000 is the purchasing limit in most large enterprises - anything over $1000 needs specific authorization. Buying a product at $999 is completely frictionless, while buying a product for $1001 involves multiple meetings and reams of paperwork. In enterprise purchasing logic, $999 is indistinguishable from free and $1001 might as well be $50,000.

Clever software marketers have realized that a $999/mo SaaS product fits under that limit just as well as a $999 boxed product.

There is a saying that cheating may teach you more than memorizing everything.

Sometimes the tests are given not by the teacher himself but by the state/school or some other third party and the teacher has a feeling of “In it together” with the students by helping them out a bit. They understand that its not the most important subject in the lives of the students and rotte memorization will not help them that much anyway.

There’s also a saying that cheating encourages teamwork. I’ve had a biolagy teacher (In a programming-oriented school) actually assign us into teams for the exams where we were encouraged to specialize and devide our learning so we could better “solve” the exam. She knew that people were not there for her subject anyway, and wanted us to learn actual practical skills - and in so doing had made such a strong connection with all of her students that we actually learned much more about biolagy from her than my peers from other schools.

And sometimes teachers just dont care - they are graded by their students’ academic sucesses somewhat. They will not be given promotions if students all have top grades, but will be “talked to” if they perform poorly. Such a feedback mechanism practically begs teacher sponsered cheating.

But yeah having a degree is way overvalued for historical reasons. Though companies have started to “wisen up” a bit not really accepting college degrees at face value as they previously did.

Both this and microservices are primarily tools to attempt to make it possible to scale software teams to large numbers of people.

If you don't have a need to scale to large numbers of people, you almost certainly shouldn't attempt to apply these techniques.
I agree with you, unfortunately society has evolved to tolerate cheaters and corruption, instead of going towards a more virtuous society.

At least the world now is much more virtuous with democracy than it was before the 1800's.

We can try to minimize it, but as always, if there is not enough political capital to do something about, nothing will be done. Citizens and consumers are being content with what they have. When climate change will hit, or when inequality will be felt, things might change.

If you buy a 13" laptop you make concessions for on-device connectors, as you always have for ultra-portables. The solution is the same as it's always been, get a larger laptop, or use a connector hub. As for your Macbook Pro, that's Apple. Using the one company that's known for doing their own thing and obsoleting ports before every other company does as your case for USB-C having caused other ports disappear already isn't a convincing to me. For example, the touch bar version of the Macbook Pro 13" has four USB-C ports. Apple has made a decision to obsolete USB-A. I'm not surprised, for the reasons I gave before.

> Julia's JiT is not like other JiTs, and it helps package development

Julia's JIT is a simple plain method jit, the easy one. He doesn't describe the pro's and contra's of method jit vs tracing jit. In short, method jits explode in memory usage and forbid expensive optimizations. The advantages are of course as described easyness to work with, reproduce and debug. Most JITs start as simple method jit, and then advance to Tracing JITs. Esp. with performance orientated languages with a lot of vectorization potential.

It's a great language. But the JIT will be improved sooner or later. Esp. with the memory-expensive type-optimizations.
A similar thing happened after the Bronze age collapse -- another "dark age". As we gradually find out, not so dark after all, but rather full of vibrant ideas and structural changes.

As the old structures collapse, a new order invariably claws its way out of the debris. These are periods of tremendous innovation and creativity, here boosted by the prosperous Medieval Warm Period.

The "dark" in "dark ages" reflects more our lack of written documents from these periods (little surviving literature) and a sentimental bias of the early historians toward the lost Roman period. Not a lack of stuff happening -- quite the contrary.

It's not exactly mirrored even. The way the 24 break down is this:

You need 2 power and 2 ground pins per side to carry the large currents needed. Those all get wired to the same (thick) cable (though usually split in two to make the cable more flexible). That's 8/24 pins, 2 wires total.

You have two pins (per side) to signal which mode the cable is being used for and which way around it's plugged in. Because there are so many alternate modes with each having its own signaling standard, you can't pack those in-band, particularly for the case of analog audio, which doesn't have a digital data frame at all. Two are connected across from one connector to the other, so there's only three new wires for the 4 pins. So that's 12/24 pins, 5 wires total.

You have two pins per side for USB 2.0. Those get wired to one side only, but are connected together in the device (not the cable). The opposite side pins are unconnected. So two connected and two unconnected new pins per side, and two new wires. 16/24 pins, 7 wires total. Some cables have active transceivers in them, and to ensure that the far-side transceiver is powered, there's an extra wire carrying its supply. This brings us to 8 wires.

The remaining 8 pins are mapped to four high-speed differential pairs. The important thing about these is that they ONLY support high-speed low-voltage differential data and are protocol-agnostic. To get the enormous bandwidth the standard needs they have to split them up into four different serial lanes. So it's not a single serial bus. It's 5 serial buses, a handful of power and configuration pins. This brings us up to the full 24 pins (22 of which are in use) and 16 wires (or 18 if you opt for the thinner, doubled-up power and ground wires). It's very much not a serial bus.

As for optical cables, that would work, but then you need to transfer all the control signals in-band and either stick to a single signaling standard (and have to do high-speed conversion for everything else) or somehow enclose various protocols in a single frame (like ethernet). This would require a fundamental redesign of peripherals, rather than a small change (a mux and control IC and new port). Additionally, optical transceivers are very expensive and power-hungry at high speeds, to the point where even for extremely high link speeds copper is still being used for ethernet. TOSLINK succeeded because at the very low data rates it has, the optical link hardware is cheap and doesn't use much power.
Establish legal link from the contents of the page to the author. At least an attempt to create a record that can be traced afterwards if there are IP/patent or manipulation claims. Some of the rules at least some places have: bound book used page by page, so pages can't easily be inserted afterwards. Numbered pages so they can't be removed. Corrections have to be dated and signed as well, old entry is only thinly crossed out so it's still legible. Empty spaces crossed out.

If you don't have a few hundred people working on the frontend in many different teams, don't try this. This first and foremost solves the problem of coordinating and communicating between these teams by eliminating (some of) the need to do that.

"Custom Elements, the interoperability aspect from the Web Components Spec, are a good primitive for integration in the browser. Each team builds their component using their web technology of choice and wraps it inside a Custom Element (e.g. <order-minicart></order-minicart>). The DOM specification of this particular element (tag-name, attributes & events) acts as the contract or public API for other teams. The advantage is that they can use the component and its functionality without having to know the implementation. They just have to be able to interact with the DOM."
