Do you have an example? I’ve never seen a deadlock in Js. I’m trying to think of how it’s even possible? Async/await is just super around promises anyway.
Wait what.. ends with: "So now the JS library listens on the special classes and acts accordingly. This as opposed to what we had earlier is that now for N number of times we work with data from the backend the JS code responsible for it is the same. So for instance if you compare JQuery to Bootstrap. whereas you write some amount of JS to use J [cut-off]".

Surely this is just re-factored JS then?!
> Nobody fails CS101 because they can't remember the syntax of function definition, they fail because they can't figure out which functions they need to write to make a ball dance across the screen.

In my experience that isn't that case. I TAed CS101 while I was in grad school and there were a lot of folks that had a really hard time with the concept that a missing semicolon or comma would make the program not work. I heard: "why doesn't it just know what I mean" more then I would have thought possible.

I think learning the strictness and structure of programming is actually harder then you think when people have never done it before.
Our Usernames, Ourselves: How Anonymity Shaped the Internet (And Me)
Android OwnTracks Unmaintained
IP lawyer here. Rayiner is correct, but he left out one piece of the explanation of why it's thought to be important to keep out free riders: The rationale is that, when innovators make significant investments in R&D, those innovators need a period of time in which to be the only ones able to sell the benefits of the innovation. Otherwise, free-riding copiers, unburdened by the innovators' R&D costs, would compete on price, which would drive prices down to competitive (i.e., marginal) levels that would not allow the innovators to recoup those R&D costs.

And here's the important part: Such rapid price reductions, it's said, would discourage future investment in R&D, because innovators and their investors would think "why bother; I'm not going to donate my time and/or my capital for no return, just for the sake of being a benefactor to humankind."

A simple analogy: Why bother spending the time and money to plant and raise a crop if your neighbors can come in and harvest the crop without paying you — among other problems, you'll be far less inclined to pay for the seeds and fertilizer it would take for you to raise the next crop.

So goes the theory; the extent to which that theory adequately models reality is something on which I'm not competent to opine.
So, I like the idea of having an easy way to check for naming conflicts, but as others have said, the implementation definitely needs some work.

As others have pointed out, it seems very unreliable and there isn't really any feedback given to the user that the app is actually working, waiting for a response, failed to get a response, etc.

It's really unfortunate that this is what's passing the bar as a non-technical talk at /\C. Some of the LC talks are given by brilliant people, but talks like this make me think they've got a very weak review process for management talks or business talks.

After watching it and taking some notes, the biggest problem with this talk is that he loads a bunch of untrue and unfair garbage up front to pander to the local culture of dismissive shitbirding on everyone else outside of the room.

Skip to 22m in to skip all the predictable Chris-Allen-makes-fun-of-everyone preamble and get to the meat of his talk, the substance of which I agree with.

For those who can't stomach it even at 3x speed the way I just powered through, I've got a summary:

- Businesses make bad decisions about the longevity or sustainability of their business practice. They're compose of directors and VPs trying to work on a quarterly OKR schedules for wins to justify their outrageous 200k-250k salary options, so it's a vicious and competitive environment.

- Businesses then try and skip the part about building a sustainable tech org by appealing to, "We hire the best." This is expecting great engineers to parachute in from Valhalla to go to war for you. It's unrealistic.

- Between this style of technical evaluation and absurdly fast product cadences (all free of consequence, no liability expressed or implied), organizations don't feel they need to care too hard about building deep skill in anything but their most core business interest because most of the work is "trivial" (and to his credit, Chris includes a lot of his own work in this).

- Businesses could actually improve infrastructure to eliminate this trivial work, but this requires more sophisticated tools, techniques and designs and these are considered risky.

- This is then used as a justification to remove all technical mentorship and tutelage from the system and only hire specialists.

- And then the industry forms a tight orbit around tools and practices that are deleterious to anything but a short-turnover org like the modern Google.

And for the record, Chris is one of those folks in the community who's made a reputation for being dismissive and cantankerous. It's his natural personality to make even good and insightful points like this hard to watch.

It's too bad the lambdaconf folks didn't give him feedback to just cut his talk in half. If he had started at 22m it would have been a HELL of a talk. Instead he needs to erect an effigy and shove it in a wicker man with bees to appease his (and perhaps his audience's, given the laughter?) love of punching down on folks with less formal CS knowledge.
Isn't Houston famous for having basically no zoning laws, at least compared to most developed parts of the US?
I like that this is not just a rant about git. Instead there are quite specific demands which are really not available anywhere.

I think this goes beyond version control though. To move computation seamlessly integration with lots of parts is necessary. I think something tightly integrated like Smalltalk would be the best path to build a prototype.
I've had better experience with CF.lumen on Android (you need root though) because it's more of a tint than an overlay, so blacks stay black and not dark red like with Twilight.

Hi. I work at one of those teaching startups that's growing like gangbusters providing technical training and career assistance.

You're dead wrong: teaching IS the problem. We take teaching really seriously. If you actually start treating it as a measurable discipline with outcomes defined by students getting jobs and succeeding, a lot of things that are fuzzy come into focus.
Yep! I think a lot of software developers think they're expert psychologists when asking these type of questions

The Chinese don’t feel the US needs to regress for them to succeed. They have confidence in themselves that they will continue growing, and probably grow faster, with a strong US as a partner.

Russia, on the other hand, has been regressing and getting smaller. Set aside their nuclear arsenal, and they aren’t leading in anything, and are falling behind in nearly everything (they are barely within the top 10 of countries in terms of GDP). This is quite a comedown from 30 years ago and the Russian, especially Putin’s, response has been to create havoc amongst Western democracies.

China will continue to hack into other countries’ systems to steal technology and IP etc (and the various intelligence agencies have been warning against this for over a decade) but they are not gonna try and create political havoc unlike the Russians.

Now I think about it, we started when she was about 2, leaving a marmite rice cake in a bowl outside her door, with a bottle of water (with a sports cap), that was just enough to delay her slightly.

As she got older, I'd put some greek yoghurt in a bowl with cling film over the top in the fridge, and a plastic cup of water with tin foil over the top and cutlery on the table.

Now I just say "no cartoons before 7", and she sorts her own water out, makes some bread and butter (don't trust her with the toaster yet) and helps herself to yoghurt.

She woke me up at 9 this morning, happy with that!
> Basically, the argument is that interference (as understood in spectrum policy) is a myth.

The FCC deals with the world as it is, not with theory. When over the air television was designed, you couldn’t put the computational power into a TV to do true kind of interference rejection a modern WiFi system can do. Heck, even a more modern system like HDTV has miserable interference rejection. Transmit something else on the same frequency as a TV channel and see how much of a myth interference is.

You’re right of course that the FCC’s model of splitting uses by frequency band treats the issue as one dimensional, while in reality there are opportunities for spatial and temporal reuse. But you need computational horsepower to take advantage of that, and the necessary computational horsepower is really just now becoming available.
Every Bolt sold now is a model 3 that won't be sold. Every Prime is a model 3 that won't be sold. You might even make an argument Volts are in that category, but I've yet to see any solid data there.

I know I jumped off that stupid waiting list, I paid less and I got a great car that doesn't require I own and partially remodel a home for best experience.

Every Tesla owner I know (and I know a few, I'm part of an EV modding community that Tesla owners show up at) is jealous of some core aspects of Bolt, Spark, Volt, and Leaf owner's experience. The fiat people maybe less so, but they like to point out they paid 10% and it's way easier to mod the acceleration curves so they get a pass.

But it's true, we lack gull wing doors and the S's stock configuration is really fun to drive. We also paid less than half the price for more than half the upside. So.
Very cool. Funny that a Norwegian would settle for an implementation limited to 7 bit ascii though.
What exactly are you disagreeing with?

I love low-level, assembly-level programming. The big problem is, we're largely past the era of it.

All but the most simplest embedded systems are complex enough to require some pre-developed library or abstraction layer to stand between a single tinkerer and the hardware. Otherwise it would take you an eternity just to stand up a "Hello World!" The cost of a Linux-capable SoC is low enough that you can buy one for $5 in the form of the Pi Zero. If a system complex enough to run Linux only costs $5 to sell, and probably even less to make, what incentive is there anymore to produce hardware that's simple enough to work with directly at the assembly layer?

The last holdouts are extremely power-efficient embedded systems. And even then you can do those with C.

I'm an old fart who can remember the "good ol' days" just as well, and I still program the SNES as a hobby. But really, that's all it'll ever be anymore; a hobby for legacy systems. There's no reason anymore to even skip C, when architectures have been so fine-tuned for code written with C.
This article has a few points.

First of all, the author wants backup, switching machines, and collaboration all integrated into VC. This is a worthwile goal, and i can see that shoehorning git et al into those rules can feel... clunky.
I think there is room for improvement there.

The author comes off a little greedy, when he wants to (a) be able to instantaneously create a new workspace while (b) being able to manage huge code bases. Oh, and everything should work even on his chromebook - as long as he has one computer that can do the work, all his other computers should offload the work to the one capable of doing it. Transparently of course.

This sounds great and all... but i would not want to implement it :-)
That could be circumvented by a smart javascript minimizer.

Since the hackers have access to the adguard plugin, they can just test and adjust until their code passes.

And they can even make it dynamic.
Interesting. How has it changed your approach?
I think the prize for doing event loops without a big fuss and before it was cool probably should go to tcl. They also did multithreading right, whereas Python botched that up. Tcl model: if you need to, run interpreters in separate threads in the same address space. No need for GIL, no need to pickle uncle pickle every message.
Agreed. The general vibe I got from his presentation was most people that call themselves professional programmers are living in a fantasy land. It reeks of the trope that "my programming language is better than yours."
(May 31, 2016) The trouble with living in a swamp: Houston floods explained

>The worst rain the city remembered fell in 1929, and a worse one struck in 1935. Buffalo Bayou rose up to the second story in parts of downtown. Buildings collapsed. Swaths of city were destroyed.

>Talbott has a simple solution: allocate $26 billion, more than a fifth of the state's 2015 budget, mostly to buy property adjacent to the waterways, bulldoze and expand the canals. That amount of money, he said, could get all of Houston prepared to weather a city-wide, once-in-a-century storm.

WiFi works in part because it doesn’t carry very far. The unclicensed band strictly limits output power, which limits range which limits the potential for interference.
Have you ever watched a movie where the writers treat a computer as a magical thing, a deus ex machina? It's like they have a hazy theoretical idea of what computers do, but no real practical experience. If you're like me, watching those movies is deeply irritating. Why didn't they take the time to learn about the history and practical details of what they're writing about?

I have a similar reaction to your comment here. It is as if you know exactly nothing about the long history of labor markets. We started out with very unregulated markets, and have moved away from that for very specific historical reasons. You could reasonably argue that any given protection was a step too far, or that a particular regulation no longer makes sense given some sort of change in technology. But just handwaving it away? All of it?

When you say you've "always wondered", I have a hard time believing it. There are many books on this topic. Books, articles, podcasts, movies, blogs, everything. You can learn about the history of labor markets, the theory of it, the present-day reality. Your comment shows no sign of having done the slightest work to understand the topic.

Even if you are not inclined to study history, just try thinking about it as an engineer. Markets aren't magic. They are a specific technology for solving specific economic problems. There are conditions under which they work well, and conditions where they work poorly, sometimes so poorly as to fail. Like any other technology, they come in a variety of specific forms depending on need. They need to be properly installed and maintained if they are to serve the purpose they were created for.

Please go and learn something about this.

> If you have had the opportunity to sample sushi from across the spectrum of quality - you'll know full well that there is good sushi and bad sushi.

I eat sushi often, and I have been to good and bad places alike. But as a sushi amateur, I don't really grasp the passion of Japanese for tuna - it's not even a fish they used to have in the first place in Japan, most of it is not fresh and is just imported from the Mediterranean, and to my tongue tuna (and I tried about every part of it) is nothing I crave for. I enjoy a LOT more the local fishes they have in Japan. Again, it's probably just me, but I find tuna utterly boring in mouth.

> the decisions affecting their livelihood.

Not really. Plenty of bad sushi joints stay afloat for years and do not lack customers. I have even eaten at famous places near Tsukiji and I have found it to be OK, but nothing at a spectacular level despite their reputation.

His dismissiveness of other languages is startling given the topic of this talk. The first step in learning is realizing that you don't know everything. To me the COBOL example is the most telling, he literally says there is nothing to learn from COBOL.
The most cost-effective way is not to use AWS, which is generally very expensive.

In many cases, did the oligarchs not simply take over the colonialists' enterprises, often with the cooperation of the former colonialists, who continued to make considerable profits themselves? One of the techniques of colonialism was to put a local ethnic or social group in a position to profit from colonialism, and so have a vested interest in perpetuating it. Such groups were sometimes the seed of the post-colonial oligarchy, if they could hold on to power.

Maybe that's a reasonable weed-out technique. How is somebody who's frustrated by an errant semicolon going to feel when they have to debug an ancient service mishandling UTF-8 characters? Until we teach machines to program for us attention to detail is just part of the job.

You keep conflating corruption with views different than your own.
Destroying companies hurts shareholders, who ultimately allow/encourage/demand their companies' bad behavior. If you're a fund manager, and the value of your Xyz Corp stock were at risk of going to $0 due to its execs' bad behavior, you would be incentivized to make sure the board is actually discouraging bad behavior.

Without this threat, we have the situation we have today: Companies never get significantly punished for anything, "because jobs," and corruption is rampant.
