Correct. Minimum wage will increase unemployment but also increase the standard of living for the unemployed.

In conjunction with a functioning welfare program to catch the newly unemployed and get them back into the economy or prevent them living on the street, it can be effective against people being out of the unemployment statistic while still not being able to afford living.
Why is this necessary? It's just a little joke.
People inside these big corps tend to have these exploitative mind, even more than in SMBs, because they have a big name to throw around and that opens almost every door.

Typescript isn't going to magically fix any issues, it'll just make your types a bit more obvious. Likewise, CoffeeScript, React, or any other tech isn't going to fix your issue.

Javascript is powerful and flexible, and sometimes that's a flaw.

It sounds like you need an architect who can look into modularization and setting some standards to in which teams are accountable. This isn't a perfect process, it usually takes a few iterations to see progress, and it requires a pitch to your business side of the house (usually along the lines of "Hey, we need more time to do maintenance work, but it'll drastically lower bugs seen by end users").
> Honestly, I think part of maturing into a senior software engineer (and later, a good manager) is accepting that while things aren't perfect, they're plenty good enough to solve your problems and make money.

I don't think this at all. I think part of maturing into a senior dev is having the experience to know what makes you happy, what makes you unhappy, and still make money.

For many the journey matters, and for the more passionate, "good enough" is a give-up mentality. And it's a good thing you don't have to keep these thoughts to yourself...you should feel free to share.

Im not sure it's fair to call out rails for having "tens of directories and files". Have you not looked a simple Node app?

Any framework seems "Crazy" and "Magical" at first.
But once you get to know it, it becomes clear.

Rails is an opinionated, full featured framework with plenty of bells and whistles.

The core of rails is convention over configuration which means you will have a hard time going against the it.

NEED HELP IN FIXING Your CREDIT REPORT?
My credit score just got raised from a range of 400 to a score above 750 with the help of a hacker i met from an old friend. My credit rating was low and it really gave me problems renting an apartment for myself. I shared my problems with an old friend of mine on facebook then she told me about the good works of a hacker she hires in fixing her credit score among other things. She told me what the hacker is capable of when it comes to anything that has to do with hacking..She said he's a genius.. I reached him for help and to my surprise, he fixed my credit report in few days than i expected. Need help fixing your credit report? Reach him VIA his email address at spystealth(dot)org(at)gmail(dot)com. Thank you!
I've had this exact experience many times myself and I'm also at a loss to explain how it happens unless Google is (unintentionally) facilitating it. An observation I can add is that the dummy site may not appear on my first search for "very unlikely phrase". But if I keep tweaking my Google search, a dummy site that has "very unlikely phrase" as its title soon appears in the results.
Threadless was such an inspiration for me 15+ years ago. They found a niche and created a wonderful marketplace in which the artists got paid well (I remember each design was bought for $5K) and so the consumer would get more variety, so they would come back and the cycle goes on forever.

Or so we tought. I never bought a tee from them, since the international shipping fees were too high. And when they did, the stigma about their poor quality was very loud.

However I can't believe they're that low. Turns out quality does matter, and not just a very good design.
Any similar project for soccer fans?
Sorry to hear about your frustration. A lot of people can sympathize, but I can assure you that nightmare codebases can happen in statically typed, object-oriented languages just as easily as they can in dynamically typed, functional languages. Not sure if there's one best way to prevent it. Applying the 'unix philosophy' for better modularity can help; structuring a JS codebase from composable modules is an example. Nowadays I try to approach code with the mindset of "what if we wanted to turn this into a standalone, open-source npm package." Even simple things like writing consistently good README's in every repository can help. If you haven't yet, unit tests and linting should be part of your build pipeline, too.

Sorry to respond twice, but I wanted to catch another point you made:

> I believe many economists (including this author) are missing the structural changes caused by technology. The labor market is not just humans any more, and if/when human labor prices go up, the economics of automation are even more attractive. Ask any robotics startup.

This one is addressed in the article:

> The idea that a higher minimum wage might not increase unemployment runs directly counter to the lessons of Economics 101. According to the textbook, if labor becomes more expensive, companies buy less of it. But there are several reasons why the real world does not behave so predictably. Although the standard model predicts that employers will replace workers with machines if wages increase, additional labor-saving technologies are not available to every company at a reasonable cost. Small employers in particular have limited flexibility; at their scale, they may not be able to maintain their operations with fewer workers. (Imagine a local copy shop: No matter how fast the copy machine is, there still needs to be one person to deal with customers.) Therefore, some companies can’t lay off employees if the minimum wage is increased. At the other extreme, very large employers may have enough market power that the usual supply-and-demand model doesn’t apply to them. They can reduce the wage level by hiring fewer workers (only those willing to work for low pay), just as a monopolist can boost prices by cutting production (think of an oil cartel, for example). A minimum wage forces them to pay more, which eliminates the incentive to minimize their workforce.
I think I'm different in my preferences from most people, but I don't want to know the score for anything I haven't watched yet.

I realize I'm in the minority, judging from the amount of effort it has taken to convince my phone to stop popping up notifications ruining every Seahawks game for me from a dozen different sources, and from browsing the Formula 1 website with my eyes closed in the hope of scrolling down to find the local time of the race without seeing the headlines that will ruin qualifying for me (or the race itself if it was an early one).

I really just want the world to stop telling me scores for everything.

And on the topic we're discussing, it would have been pure awesome if they had instead intercepted the streaming video feed and converted it to ASCII art in realtime. That's a project I could get behind!
And on the other side of technology there's 3D printing. It will allow to reduce transportation of goods (only raw materials), and we already can "print" houses.

So if unemployment starts striking big time according to this article, in the same time houses will be cheap, food will be cheap...

The real question is : when nobody will have to work anymore, what people will do ? There's a big risk of population rise to the rooftop, because, you know, when you're bore...

Art is a lot more than the visuals you see or the acting for example. Maybe it helps you to know, that any "artwork" gives you a clear view into the point of time, when it was created. If you understand this, you can better grasp what the artist wants carry over with his work, why the artist has done this and how this art influenced other artist's and society.

I would assume this has to do with MySQL's lack of transactional DDL, but I haven't looked into it at all. I actually don't mind MySQL as much as people complain about it, but I haven't dealt with any cases that requires more than a single read replica.
Most ORMs I dealt with at the time were strict code generation from configuration or db introspection, so there was essentially a 'compilation step'. What AR had at the time was you extended a base class and directed it to a database and your objects magically figured everything else out. Change a table schema and refresh _only_ your browser and the new state was reflected in your application. That was a very magical in 2006 and having a fully working ORM with 2-6 lines of _code_ (not configuration) per schema+relationship was incredible.
> Nonsense; the GPL does not require that one's competitors receive code, but rather one's users.

What's stopping an Intel competitor from also being a user? Am I wrong that all it would take is for an Intel competitor to buy an x86 computer with an Intel processor and then demand the source code? If that's the case, then it hardly seems like nonsense to me.
It's rather late now, though, considering it's been around for years now without anyone knowing exactly because they did not include that copyright notice.

BSD Clause 3 requires they give credit.
I don't know the larger picture, but from my personal experience that would mean lots of adult schizophrenics (or similar) living with their parents. The sad fact is that there are just a lot of people that can't manage on their own. In today's system they are all homeless or in jail.
As much as this approach might work well for side-projects, it would definitively lead to a few pain points for bigger teams or projects. The main being that you are binding the display of your data (frontend) to your server (backend). In many cases this means multiple deploys for a single purpose, and also multiple people involved to solve a problem that might actually be very simple.

I've also seen many times this leading to the anti-pattern of building an endpoint to every single new page/feature.
Once you reach hundreds of endpoints where some of them are very similar, things starts to get messy.

I believe in most cases the API should empower the user to express and manipulate the data in every way the domain allows, even if it means building complex urls/queries sometimes.
When good jobs of a certain industry are concentrated to such a small area of the country, "stop moving there" really isn't much of an option. We need to find a way to spread the jobs out a bit, because it should be obvious that the companies employing those professionals have no incentive to do so without outside intervention.

No word about the elephant in the room?
San Francisco has too many problems which is why I moved to NY:

Dangerous & Dirty:
I have been verbally and physically abused walking in San
Francisco. My wife can't walk around by herself because of such problems. My friends were physically assaulted while biking. Each week I'd walk to work and someone would be screaming obscene language at others. I've sat in coffee shops where someone would walk in and grab my food, destroy the public restroom or have to be kicked out by cops. Streets are littered with people, garbage, human waste and more. My family refuses to visit after what they saw the first time.

Theft:
I have had my car broken into several times mid day in very public places. My bike lock clipped and bike stolen on Market street mid day. I have people break into my elder's home even in San Jose and steal many items.

Nudity:
I understand this is an 'open city' but I've seen men expose themselves while walking by the park of children at Dolores. I've seen a tremendous amount of nude people walking around different streets of the city exposing themselves to tourists, kids, strangers and more yearly. I've seen people publicly masturbate on public transportation and different parts of the city.

Cost:
The pricing for apartments are astronomical. The quality for most are horrendous. I've always had to share apartments with others. It's a problem for rich and poor. My relatives had to move out of the city because they'll never be able to afford a decent home in the bay area because they make a average american wage. I've had friends that are quant traders that refuse to bring their families to SF because it's too expensive - they fly back every weekend to their family because it's cheaper. My uncle sits on a duplex with no yard in south San Jose, that hasn't been touched for 30 years, has eroded greatly and it's somehow still worth more the $1M.

Nothing will change anytime soon. People of all backgrounds are moving out of the bay area. Startups will move out of the city. Larger companies will move. I hope it gets better but I don't think it will. Which is why I left. Best of luck to those still there.

I use both. From an application perspective, i haven't noticed a difference. The Google console is much easier to use however. The one big difference i know of is that on google cloud sql, they dont give you super admin.
Agreed! However, I must note that Netflix doesn't use AWS (or any cloud provider) for streaming content. Everything you're watching on Netflix is streamed from one of their own NAS boxes located in or around your ISP. AWS is used for everything else (i.e. billing, suggestions, ratings, feedback, support, transcoding, etc.)

Yes streaming is a large part of Netflix but it's not the only part, and may not be the largest part. Netflix has over 30,000 EC2 instances running AWS plus a lot of other resources (S3, redis, etc.) Building Netflix on your own platform would be foolish.
The removal of visual features may make some things more aesthetically appealing, but it also allows the objects to be more easily fit into your particular preferences.

As an example, I have a digital photo frame. It has a large bezel that's silver/grey with black trim. It does not fit well on my desk. I have a minimalist style in my home. Removing that bezel would allow the object to sit on my desk and actually look like it belonged.

On the other hand, my girlfriend's home has a beach/Caribbean thing going on. Most of her photos and art are in wood frames (with an unfinished look). The bezel on this digital frame makes putting it inside a wooden frame of that sort difficult (it would need to be too large, or strategically positioned so you didn't realize it was just a façade).

Reducing the bezel, for her, would allow the frame to be placed inside of a wooden frame that fit her styling much better. The object would not stand out, it would blend into the environment.

My view: A minimalist aesthetic for objects is not desirable because the minimalist aesthetic is desirable. It is desirable because objects of this form are more easily placed inside any environment. An object with an opinionated appearance will stand out unless it fits the rest of your possessions. This may or may not be desirable. But it should be up to the owner of the object whether attention is drawn to it, not up to the creators of the object.

EDIT: Fixed a word or two. This was my 3rd write-up of this because they kept disappearing so I wrote it rather hastily.
method_missing is a prime example. The case of a variable indicating scope and optional brackets are both less magical but still magical in their own right.

Not everyone is intelligent enough to be a coding hacking ninja. Every area needs a lower, middle, and upper class. When the lower class of an area isn't given enough to survive, this is what happens.
but does the city have to go through such a long stretch of prosperity for there to be enough wealth to pay for everyone?

Does SF get prosperous? Serious question; I don't know how SF's taxes work. Does SF get a piece of everyone's income, such that as the people make more money the city gets more money? What actually puts more money into SF's pocket when people in SF get richer?
Love this guy! Very refreshing answers
Also, after I stopped using Rails, I saw that they started embedding a repl on their error pages with the environment loaded at the point of failure. Pretty sexy.

I also miss being able to eval code in my buffer while writing Clojure against the same process my server is running in.

Server-side Javascript has the perk of being able to use Chrome's debugger UI. I personally haven't used it much though.

Perhaps's it's unclear from reading the zdnet article, but anyhow, the idea is not to replace Minix in the ME, but rather get rid of, or at least disable, the ME as much as possible, then replace the upper levels of the UEFI stack + the bootloader with a minimal Linux + u-root userspace.

When the final distro kernel is booted by the firmware one, it replaces it. The firmware Linux kernel is thus NOT left running anywhere in the background doing insidious things.

> Are you saying SF city money should go directly to other area's rent markets?

If SF isn't able to handle the issue themselves, then why shouldn't they use their money to help them? Should it only be the poorer areas of the country that handle the issues that the rich areas cause?
I first heard the Minix thing in this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iffTJ1vPCSo which I found, I think via a HN thread. Anyway, most of the articles rehash this talk and IMO its a solid 30 minute investment.
lol proof of stake, that's basically giving all the power to banks and governments to control the transactions which is exactly what we have now.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be how the computer industry works. Think of all the game, software, hardware companies that don't exist any more. How many of them have released their source code, hardware specifications or given any help for previous customers. Generally the companies got "more important" things to worry about if they're going bankrupt.

Sorry to answer your question, yes it's actually quite easy to flash the firmware. You don't actually need any hardware for it (unless you brick your device somehow). The only issue (as you stated) is it must be signed by Intel to work.
