Isn't this an "all sides" problem? This article tends to use the term "toxic VC" but forgets one thing - VCs are generalist and not specialist every startup's problem and market. They rely a lot on data provided by the startups.

Many startups, if not all, oversell themselves. Maybe it is for the fear of not getting a funding. What follows is a fat check and pressure to grow.

There is one thing I wish people learn from this article but in a different way.

> After this fundraise, everyone at Fuego agrees to hit the gas, hard. Burn rates jump from $200,000 a month to more than $1 million per month. Experiments that previously were returning $1.50 over time for every dollar invested start to return $1 as money is pumped into scale, but everyone agrees that’s okay. It just means that the customer pays back the cost of acquisition more slowly.

The difference being...Not everything scales. Sometimes you feel you have a "huge" market but the novelty of things will never scale. It is not a VC problem rather market research problem.
I was simply responding to Drup's "the fact that types are dynamic doesn't mean you don't have to think about them"...

If you're telling me you don't have to think about types, then you and I are on the same page.

But it sounds like we're talking Haskell here, so afaik, somewhere Haskell is going to ask you to specify types so that it can complete its type-proof (i.e., compile.)

If you're saying No, Haskell doesn't need that, then I'm afraid you have a dynamic language on your hands.
The problem with the EU is that small, non corrupt and transparent countries like mine can be overruled by MEPs from Romania.
The modern examples of Francis crick and Feynman are not examples of polymaths. Their achievement came from absolute dedication (most of their life) to their field. The fact that Crick came from a physics background is irrelevant because his professional career was entirely in biology. Feynman being able to play bongos and crack safes are nice anecdotes, but he was not successful because of his hobbies. He picked these hobbies up after he became a first rate physicist

You can pursue the polymath direction if you want, but the vast majority of people who pursue this path are unremarkable in any of their works. The examples you bring suggest a deep plus broad approach: become the best at a narrow field but have a broad enough perspective in order to see connections between your expertise and other people's expertise.

The dangerous advice of not specialising (read: focusing) lead people to do these broad college degrees and then expect to somehow be able to compete with those who have specialised. They have it backwards, first you specialise so you become useful, then broaden to see the connections and collaborate
That, too. Everyone is so eager to offer their “valuable” opinion and omit the parts of the story that don’t conform to that opinion.
What do people want from him though? He was offered $$$ for a gig and took the offer. It was sure easier than his usuals.

Occam's razor. These guys are not planning on building anything real, they mimed the usual pattern of celebrity-pimping an ICO based on smoke and mirrors and will pocket the money after this all dies down.

Another one for the "shameless swindle" column of ICO. At this point I can't tell if any ICO has actually been real and has delivered back its funding in value.
I said: " The immense impact and usefulness of Piagets stages of cognitive development are orginally his and not to be found in Montessoris Teachings"

Montessori via your source on mathematics: "Mathematics: Formation of the concepts of quantity and operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) from the uses of concrete learning materials. (birth to 6)" Quite general.

Piaget has a few sub-skills concerning Quantities:

* conservation (xxx has the same amount of x'es as x x x)
* classification (x is a letter and lowercase)
* seriation (x X y Y could be orderes XY; xy, but also Xx, Yy)
* transitivity and others

This insights are very useful if you want to make - for an example - a pre-numeric mathematical game concerning quantities.

Montessori does not provide such deep insights into pre-numeric mathematics.

It turns out that there’s some academic backing to this original observation and it’s partly what is driving some really controversial organizational changes at larger software companies.
In my view, the problem is that "local restaurants" have to pay very high rent if they want to be close enough to their customers to support delivery. It's the same problem if you want to be a janitor -- it costs too much to live near where you work. This in turn limits Deliveroo's business, if there are not enough restaurants within delivery distance of a potential customer base.

So perhaps the problem statement is that janitors are willing to commute long distances, but hot food isn't.

That's not always true, rank-1 polymorphic functions (i.e. functions polymorphic in their argument) don't usually require type annotations. Higher-rank polymorphic functions though do generally require them, because without the annotations type inference is undecidable in the general case for such functions. For example:

pair x y = (x, y)

This function creates a pair for any two types, and doesn't require any annotations.
An HTTP redirect is a completely different thing from a CNAME record in the DNS.

If you visit https://onion.nytimes.com/ and it sends you a 301 redirect to https://nytimes3xbfgragh.onion/ then yes, I'm pretty sure that'd work fine. However, if you perform a DNS lookup on `onion.nytimes.com` and receive in response a CNAME record pointing to `nytimes3xbfgragh.onion`, I seriously doubt the browser is going to respond to that by establishing a new Tor circuit to the named hidden service. Rather, it's most likely just going to do what every other DNS client does when it receives a CNAME record; it'll try to look up `nytimes3xbfgragh.onion` in the DNS. (And fail, because `.onion` is not a valid TLD in the regular DNS system.)

Jars are also just zip files, so you can prepend a shell script without impacting the ability for Java/zip to decompress. Add a shell script to run Java on its self and you have a executable (though not a true native elf/mach binary).

It’s not much worse than a standard dynamically linked binary at that point. You just need a JVM on the system. Combined with the AOT compiler (as it stabilizes) makes Java applications more competitive with standard binaries.

I think the important part of this is that all three circles in their Venn diagram must intersect. If they don't, you'll fail. Either because the production quality is non-existent, no business value is being added, or the product doesn't have the right attributes to be saleable.

How big does this sweet spot intersection need to be? "As large as possible" doesn't sound right - because it says you've spent too much time polishing and not enough time getting it in front of customers. Too small and your value isn't obvious enough, inviting the competition to steal your lunch. So .. perhaps it should be "just right", whatever that means for your market.
You can't control humans unfortunately. Humans write code, and some of them will care more about the quality of work than others do. These people will at some point work above/below/with you, and their mistakes will cause you some sort of inconvenience.

My mother taught medical school, and she had a saying... "What do you call the least qualified idiot who passes my class?", the answer is "Doctor". There are good coders and bad coders, and unless we start somehow forbidding the bad(but still good enough to get hired) ones to work with/for us - this isn't going to change.
Given that Chrome apps are on their way out, a nice demonstration of Progressive Web Apps would be to make Gmail into one to replace the functionality of Gmail Offline.
As others have mentioned, psc-package can be used so there is no "need" for Bower.

"Why the PureScript community uses Bower" explains why Bower was chosen: http://harry.garrood.me/blog/purescript-why-bower/

I don't understand why Bower is such a sticking point for people. It works perfectly fine for PureScript and (as the article explains) was the right tool for the job.
Check out the hindley milner type system [1]. It's used by haskell and some other languages, and allows for a very extensive amount of type inference. You can often write large sections of code with no type annotations and the compiler can figure out the most general type based on the type of some function called somewhere, which means the thing you did with that result must be of a certain class of types, which makes the surrounding expressions' types have to be a certain class of types, etc etc.

The alternative is America getting its act together and change their cities into Singapore/Tokyo/Hong Kong. Good luck waiting for that.

Infrastructure is not something the average citizen seems to give a fig about.
I think it's because secretly, people think they've got a chance to be in on the con and make bank before the regulators show up.
Now that it is finally there, I can say this without the usual jokes we have grown so accustomed to:

Perl 6 does this.

Granted, (almost) nobody is using it, but it does exist (finally!).
Wouldn't that just mean using functions to have the same results?
Range-v3 (https://github.com/ericniebler/range-v3) exists solving the same problem, and there's a standardization proposal (http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/experimental/ranges).
So PEP 484? You can write out whatever and then add annotations (at least to the API).
Social protections for the unemployed allow you to disentangle "Should I ruin this person's life" and "Is this person contributing to my business". I understand the reasons why those two got entangled historically, but I've always thought anyone who's really invested in a society with both laissez-faire capitalism and a claim to moral decency should support an extremely generous social safety net.
It depends on the type system, but often all usages are taken into account during type inference.
Maybe they can reinvest some of that money and figure out how to not spam me for things I've already pre-ordered from Amazon.

Case in point, Super Mario Odyssey. Preordered from Amazon, and they've been sending me nonstop emails to try and sell me additional copies ever since.

At least their marketing emails tend to come from a different source from tracking notification emails so you can filter them with ease.
Eesh. Please don't stoop to that level here, even if an article contains an annoying phrase.

> But I don't really get the "Web Components APIs are unpleasant" line of criticism. The WC APIs are just ...

dozens of lines of tedious boilerplate for the most basic things like “create a property, and an attribute, and a custom event”

The sad thing is that WebComponents proponents are absolutely blind to the fact that WebComponents API is complete and utter crap.

Well, most proponents don’t propose WebComponents. They propose Polymer.
Well then what is your criteria for having a String that can represent both English spellings of numbers and a String that represents roman numerals.

If you say "I choose just String. I.e., I overload String to contain both types of values. Then you are doing dynamic typing. So why in that case do you choose dynamic verification, but in other cases not? What is your criteria for when you choose static types versus dynamic types? Or do you just go by instinct?
We don't refuse or disallow. We just don't take an arbitrary URL and list it in the store automatically.

We announced Trusted Web activities https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/10/using-twa which give you a fullscreen surface for web content in an Android App in the store and allow you to offer more integration with the Android operating system (protocol and scheme handling, quick links etc)... I do think this is interesting, I worked on the Chrome Web Store when it launched and the number one complaint was that the experiences "were just bookmarks" and I think Trusted Web activities give us a chance to experiment with deeper web integrations on the host platform before we are able to standardize it.
For food safety from restaurants I think of the "scores on the doors" scheme. FSA doesn't do the checking for that scheme. The local authority do the checks. The FSA hold the results.

I can't find results for any of the rooboxes, but maybe I'm not searching properly.

I really hope they're talking about this scheme, and that all the rooboxes have been checked.
I would say that Racket is by far the best Lisp to learn. It has the basically been founded to teach programming and it has been fleshed out into a very strong general purpose language.

Watch these videos on a quick overview of Racket https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKjOTdVi99A&list=PLNm0vh7FGM...

You could program your pet project right afterwards. Also the documentation in Racket is better than any other community I have ever found. Clear, concise and uniform.

If I was to direct anyone into learning Racket I would say that 1) Realm of Racket is a great start for the language 2) How to Design Programs (Free online and a great resource)

Racket is just a great ecosystem that makes Deployment a piece of cake. I am a big polyglot but Racket has been my favorite find the past decade. Last time I got excited about a language was Python.
That would still fall under the umbrella of "type inference"

If you want to learn more about this, the Damas Milner unification-based algorithm used in ML, Haskell and others is a must-read starting point. It does global type inference of all types in the program without requiring any annotations, by analyzing how the types are used. It also can detect when a variable is only passed around, without being used in primitive operations, in which case it infers a generic/parametric type for it.
I learned about Paw and decided to try it. My API is based on Swagger (2.0) and Postman is not a very good friend of it. Paw seems to be clean and while UX is kinda sorta sometimes clunky, I see how it could be better than Postman.
But, seriously folks, the app crashed twice within half an hour. I just tried to create different environments (I run next dev version locally and also want to run against current published version). Once it failed when I created the environment and once it failed when I added a variable and tried to undo the edit. Very trivial actions and it seems that the app just doesn't receive testing. I'd expect something similar from an OSS app (I'm the tester then and I'm expected to fill bugs). And I'd probably go ahead and fix it or at least try to debug and find the root cause.
But for $50 I expect a product. I want to swipe the credit card and move on with my project.

I don't know how to access the dealer site in the article, but the consumer site lets one pick multiple makes with the more search options button. The UX doesn't make this obvious that this is the way to do this, but that is a different issue.
How much to offer to and gain from their customers is a balance that every company has to strike. They choose the balance not out of the goodness of heart, but as a way to optimize their long term reward, given the regulation and competitive landscape. What we get from Amazon is about as much as what we can reasonably expect in the current environment. It will probably stay this way until new competition comes.
> One, it will mean getting too early for school

Deciding what time school starts is completely orthogonal to deciding what to call that time.

Shifting the schedule of everything by an hour twice a year is unnecessarily disruptive. If you want school to start later (which I totally support BTW) the right answer is not to abolish DST but to lobby your school board to change the school schedule.
To answer your first question: it's a better experience. Local restaurants have terrible websites with no photos and sketchy payment forms. Their delivery usually involves having cash for a tip. If there's a problem with your order, it's unlikely it'll be resolved.

With services like Deliveroo and others, your payment information is managed by a central third party, delivery quality is generally quite good, you get ETAs for your food, there's real customer support, the app/site is modern and easy to use with pictures and search, and you never need to keep cash on hand.

If every local restaurant had a system as effective as Domino's, I could see these services being in trouble. But that will almost certainly never be the case.
That should be Nick Bostrom's face at the end there; not Elon Musk's.

The Important Jobs We Ignore
This article: https://medium.com/@emilrmoeller/grow-with-the-browser-learn...

“To do this automatically” is followed by dosens of lines of tedious bolierplate. And that’s for a single most common use case of adding a property, and an attribute that are synced. It’s then followed by yet more boilerplate for adding a custom event.

A lot of stuff here: https://jeremenichelli.io/2017/10/the-web-components-experie...

To quote:

To achieve pretty basic mutations on small components, children references and data manipulation there’s a lot of heavy lifting that really compromises the developer experience.

And it’s a big deal, since developer experience is one of the reasons why React or Vue are widely used in production.

Also, web components being included in a magical global store difficults declarative and deterministic views or any other concept which hangs on a visual map of dependencies like code splitting.

UNFORTUNATELY THE DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE OF BUILDING AN APPLICATION WITH WEB COMPONENTS TODAY IS QUITE PAINFUL

1. For unimportant regular season games, the reason is that there are new games the next day. The league goes on. It doesn’t make much sense to watch yesterday’s match.

2. For important postseason games, the experience is communal. I’m either watching with friends or virtually watching with them via group chat. And we’re commenting on literally every play as they happen. It’s a big deal if my live stream is seconds behind theirs.

3. Such postseason games are imbued with urgency, anticipation, and excitement. A serious fan derives a lot of pleasure from the immediacy this requires. It’s nothing like deciding when to watch an episode of Bojack Horseman. When the St. Louis Cardinals are in the postseason, for example, the entire city reflects it. It’s a moment in time, a cultural event. The whole town is talking about it. You can’t decide you’d rather have that experience next month when your schedule is less busy. It’s not up to you.

It can only be experienced real-time.

On the original comment: none of this has anything to do with time zones. Even without time zones, there would be a “time” difference because of the geographical differences. A good “time” to watch on one coast is likely to be a bad one on the other, just because most human beings like to sleep when it’s dark where they are.
Databases are fine. I don’t like the rigid idea of a stateless web application server that needs to hit the database for everything.

In my view, the web application server’s primary function is to be a smart cache that responds to HTTP requests. The developer’s goal should be to prevent most requests from having to wait on a socket to return data.

Is that just a general feeling, or are there specific issues you have with Amazon?

Ex: Maybe a particular page has too many ads/has ads at all/etc. Or maybe a particular service doesn't really do what you would like.

Disclosure: Work at Amazon, not on anything customer facing.
Trusting big companies is a folly anyway. They make decisions based on dollars and stats.

The only companies one can "trust" are the smaller ones - where the owner still has enough control to stamp his own sense of ethics onto the place.
As long as their customer service blows everyone else’s out of the water, they will have me buying there. Replacements, refunds, returns, even icky stuff like ads suddenly turning on on my Kindle were all fixed within a 5 minute live chat, no wait. You have such customer focus practically nowhere else, unless you’re a someone who brings in major dough. It works so well that I happily pay the ‘Amazon premium’ (around 10%) to be sure of that certainty of service. I realize this sounds shilly, but it is how it is for me.
