The problem with funding open source projects is that monetization can kill the community. You either have a dual license scheme or a support contract scheme where a few guys make money and the rest doesn't.

I find the jab at Bret Victor especially undeserved. He's an interaction designer (a really good one who sees through all the fads[0], which is kind of the opposite of what this one-liner implies). His focus is on better interface design, not formal language design; why criticize someone for something they're not trying to do?

And it's not useless; we probably wouldn't have had Elm without Bret Victor's Inventing on Principle[1][2]. And there has been some progress in that direction of interface design of, for a lack of a better term, "programmable environments": look at Apparatus, for example[3]. Where would you even fit that on these slides?

A case against CSS frameworks (2min read)
you may not think that this is what containers are for. But it's certainly how people use them, and it's echoed on https://www.docker.com/what-container
I haven't used it enough to have a detailed opinion but from what I can see it looks like an excellent language.
They won't because it seems like they might as well forge ahead with CSS additions and drop an entirely separate renderer. That's what happened to the SVG Animations.

Of course it's not like svg will get removed so Why fight it...

alright hacker news, how did you know what I've been doing for 16 hours?
I’ve been doing a lot of work with CNTK lately (and for the most part I quite like it compared to TensorFlow), but there are two things in particular that need to be addressed before I think it can gain wider traction: support for batch normalization on CPUs (right now bn is GPU-only, which means a lot of Microsoft’s examples only run on Windows/Linux machines with GPUs, not something everyone has immediate access to always), and macOS support (even CPU-only support). I think those things are table stakes for any deep learning framework.

That said, it’s great to see the author’s work here - CNTK documentation can be a bit hard to come by.
Or why the page parameter is abbreviated to "p"?

It's probably the most common convention I've seen (at least for those sites that still support pagination, as opposed to that horrible "infinite scroll"...)

The underscores are a little unusual, however; I don't think it's a bad thing, unless you're deliberately trying to hide the fact that you're using a specific backend. I've seen other prefices for parameters too with other sites in the past.

Why is a non-standard syntax used for multiple values rather than just parameter arrays?

There is no standard. I believe [] came from PHP, but I've seen many different ways to express "multiple values" in query strings.

Now that Flash is on it's way out the door, it's up to the DOM to be abused by advertisers. I think a safe bet is to disallow canvas manipulation from "Third-Parties" as a good first step, maybe by default?
I don't get why Battery Status API was dropped entirely instead being "castrated"... by default, allow clients to only detect <5%, <25%, <50%, <75%, <=100% (or simply <25% & >25%) so that e.g. Unity or other high performance apps can say "do you really want to play Unreal Tournament with low battery".

This could also be used by ads or stuff like background monero miners to prevent killing the user's battery...

Depends on which country you are in. Your bank card in some European countries is not allowed to receive or store info about the items you purchased, but the shop obviously will and there is a limit on what they can do with that info and for how long they can store it.

So if I pay for petrol with a card and also buy donuts and coffee the bank and the shop cannot market to me according to what I bought, but if I join a loyalty card scheme then I'm opting in and the shop can, but not the bank.

In Norway btw, where govt. are strict about this sort of thing.
This is the thing. It's a fine line between offering someone a solution they might want or appreciate based on their search. Another to manipulate them into wanting it through emotional plays.

Some programs are simply pure functions. If your program entry point accepts a string and returns a string, then you can write useful things, such as compilers, image processing, grep, etc, entirely as pure functions.
The "Language Gap" slide seems massively overstated, or maybe I'm misunderstanding. We really have seen a lot of progress in the last 10-20 years, both in industrial languages and in academic ideas that could become the industrial languages of the next 10-20 years (e.g. Idris on the short end, Noether on the longer end). The author laments that pattern-matching is still not standard, but we're getting there; map/reduce/filter are standard in all new languages these days (they weren't 10-20 years ago), some kind of lightweight record feature is standard in all new languages, some level of type inference is standard in all languages. Yes, it's taken longer than you might imagine it should, but progress is happening. Likewise formal methods - they may not be practical in 2016, but there's a lot more awareness, a lot more work being done, and people are starting to try to take the useful parts and apply them in more and more industrial settings. Likewise graphical representation of code - not the LabView nonsense that's exciting to talk about at cocktail parties, but the little touches that today's IDEs do almost invisibly - highlighting, mouseover information, outline views, smart code folding.

I wish we were better at communicating about programming languages. I wish we were moving faster. But despair is unwarranted. We really are in a much better place than 10-20 years ago, and the next 10-20 years look set to bring more improvements.

33 bits. Information is a force multiplier, not power itself (Francis Bacon was wrong.)

https://33bits.wordpress.com/about/

It takes only 33 bits of distinctive information to identify a given person. Specific information about a person, including background, can help provide further information on them -- it tells you where to look (and more importantly, a very good idea as to where not to), who to talk to, and what they might have done.

"If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged."

- Cardinal Richelieu (a/k/a Armand Jean du Plessis, Cardinal-Duc de Richelieu et de Fronsac)

"the forced revelation of information makes individual privilege and power more important. When everyone has to play with their cards on the table, so to speak, then people who feel like they can be themselves without consequence do so freely -- these generally being people with support groups of like-minded people, and who are neither economically nor physically vulnerable. People who are more vulnerable to consequences use concealment as a method of protection: it makes it possible to speak freely about controversial subjects, or even about any subjects, without fear of harassment."

They also managed to smuggle in a PAC 750, made in New Zealand, last year (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAC_P-750_XSTOL). They're designed to be used to drop parachutists, as well as fly low level for crop dusting, and have an extremely short take-off distance of 220 m.

This is probably generally true in terms of the language itself, but one assumes that there are people that love type-theory yet also like JavaScript for its ecosystem, environment-reach and hackability.

And perhaps there are people that enjoy the difficulties in trying to type a language which is very dynamic.

You can't expect 20-or-so slides to cover all languages. And I'm not aware of any PL research topics being explored in Perl, so not sure how talking about Perl would fit in.
I just don't experience these problems since I moved to functional style; I find it hard to remember that they even existed. Separate state from logic, separate initialization from operation, and you never have problems with initializing state. If your logic needs to perform effectful operations, separate that out using a monad. Good code structure for production is the same as good code structure for testing, because the needs of code structure are the same in both cases.

Text substitution is impossible to reason about; magic test frameworks sound like a good idea because every kind of magic sounds like a good idea in isolation, but they'll always end up getting you in trouble. Plain old code, plain old functions, parameters, and modules, always win in the end, because every bit of brainpower you can save from understanding magic is brainpower you can spend understanding the details of your actual test instead.
I really doubt advertisers will make their ads less resource-hungry (and therefore less noticeable/appealing) when they detect low battery levels just because it would be better for the user (albeit worse for themselves).
As another commenter mentioned, there isn't really a standard here. I thought "field[]" was a standard, of course — that's the way PHP handles parameter arrays. In contrast, reusing the parameter name without the trailing "[]" does not work (only the last value is provided, as a scalar).

I guess I got my answer :)
The issue is in the story teller. If the person telling the story doesn't understand what other data they're leaking or the data the people they interact with are leaking you cannot take their word that "Facebook is listening to my microphone" at face value, no matter how frequently they say it.

Also wouldn't a constant stream of audio - even low quality audio - ruin battery life? I realise it's a phone so it's base usage is a constant stream of audio but I can't help but feel that or something else would be giving it away.

I can see that easily solved much better, cleanly and not to mention lightweight with some CSS rather simple pre-processors in the build process.

Or is your argument that you already have a (React-based) build-process and you'd want to align this with what you have, rather than creating something new and different along-side everything else (despite the result being suboptimal)?

I'm really interested in hearing more of your thoughts on this, since it touches on one of my personal research interests. What kind of language support for IPC are you looking for?

Multi threaded + async isn't a problem if the runtime system supports it.

Async + Event driven works transparently with higher order frp with the usual tradeoffs of first order vs higher order frp.

Remote support tools built by IT people for IT people. – RemoteToPC
Tooling is all right, not as good as the cross platform tooling for something like Java, but still pretty good, especially given how recently Swift has had any non-hobbyist presence on non-Mac platforms.

The core language "just works" pretty pleasantly on other *nixes, I don't know about windows.

You end up missing Apple-specific libraries a lot, though. There are some packages making progress on that problem, but a comprehensive replacement for e.g. audio or graphics surfaces is a ways off, I think, if only because of the fragmentation that exists in those spaces on other platforms. Of course, Swift has that problem only a little worse than any other language that ships without an OS.
