It's mostly part of everyone's dream of using the same language for frontend and backend code. When Node/NPM became popular and built up lots of useful libraries and could be used for backend code, people started trying to use Js everywhere. It helps that a lot of the ecosystem is based around asynchronicity.

Allegations of sexual misconduct and an actual conviction are two very different things, though modern society tends to treat them as equivalent. I don't know what actually happened, but it's dangerous to ever let go of that legal right.

Ask HN: Do people like doing Selenium testing?
I'm a web developer who has been working in the industry for about 8 years and one thing that always seems to get a mixed reaction in the workplace is e2e/integration/functional tests with Selenium.

I hear a lot of people complain about Selenium but I never hear arguments with much more substance than "it sucks" or "it is hard to use".

I'm aware of frameworks that leverage Selenium like Chimp or WebdriverIO but there are also projects like Cypress that seem to pride themselves on the fact that they don't use Selenium.

Is anyone able to shed any light on this for me? I'm really curious as to what arguments people are making for and against Selenium. I find it hard to find healthy discussions on this via Google.
Living in an area with self-driving ubers running about; I think there will be a checkbox on the app, 'Self Driving?' If you click Yes, could get a self driving car (and it'll be faster/cheaper/safer), click No and it'll be the same experience as previous (though probably with a bit more lag as self driving will crowd out a bit of the existing car fleet).

For at least a number of years it'll be more supplementary than anything for areas with low Uber driver counts.
* I'd spend at least a day researching which Android devices were available. The truth is that it's a bloody phone. I was expending all my free will on trivialities and wasn't making choices that actually matter.*

Given the everyday utility of a phone, a bad choice comes with significant economic costs of wasted time and frustration stemming from poor performance/reliability. If you don't already have a preference (eg based on trying the preferred device of a trusted friend) then it's entirely rational to spend some time researching your options, up to some significant portion of the cost you expected to save by picking an android over an iphone.

I'm into synthesizers and if you think people nerd out on phones you'll probably be horrified at the energy and passion spent debating the merits of machines that produce subtly different kinds of bleep bloop noises. I don't spend as much time on that any more, and have also simplified and slimmed down my synth choices to a smallish number of devices I really like, but I don't consider the prior time wasted; it was only through that extensive and intensive knowledge-gathering that I was able to make those aesthetically optimal choices for my own music-making pleasure. It's harder to be simple than it is to be complex. Simplicity is easy to imitate, but imitators aren't usually innovators.

I do agree with your larger point about the undesirability of a surfeit of economic choice. If all you wanted was a phone that worked and you could afford it, there's nothing wrong with just getting whatever is widely hailed as the best one out there. I know nothing about cars and care less, so if I have to get a car I'd probably just get a Honda Civic due to its reputation for low-maintenance reliability. But I understand why people who enjoy driving or have some other reason to care have strong preferences about different vehicles.
Podcasts aren't just about content. That's part of why they're so great. Speed through an audio book but not a podcast!
They include a comparison with using ES6 Template literals (native JavaScript string interpolation), and saw 10x increase over React. The native string interpolation actually came out just behind serving straight static files. JavaScript CPU performance is actually quite high among interpreted languages.

So to answer your question more specifically, no I don't think it is clear. What this is specifically isolating as the performance problem is that using React as a template renderer on the backend is not performant, not because of NodeJS performance, but because React is realistically not really specialized for this.

Collapse denial is one of the more frustrating parts of contemporary historiography. It feels rooted in contemporary post-modernism in academia: if we acknowledge the possibility of "collapse", then we create a rank order of civilization, in which the pre-collapse society is "better" than post-collapse society. Since, under modern postmodern doctrine, all societies are equally worthy, "collapse" therefore doesn't happen.

It's this mental impulses that drives us to utter drivel like "Rome never fell".

I strongly suggest Greg Ward-Perkins' books on the subject.
They pretty much dominate mobile OSes, they have the top used browser, they dominate email.
Recently, a coworker of mine told me how she thought the compiler should catch when you don't give printf the right arguments. Another example is when a coworker said you couldn't define flags in a Go library but she didn't realized you would have to import the package from that library to force the code to run first.

In my mind, both of these examples showed a lack of understanding in how the compiler works. I would say learning about compilers should help with being able to make good assumptions of how things work. Whether it's worth the rare times it comes in handy is probably dependent on what else you could learn.

Note that I actually didn't take a compilers course myself and said co-workers did, so I can't say for sure even taking a course is sufficient (but I am currently reading a compilers book, though out of enjoyment and not for career skills). I should also say I believe my co-workers are significantly better developers/employees than I am.

I find that if I listen to podcasts at faster speeds I can get them but it requires I pay more attention to them. However, I am usually listening to a podcast and doing something else at the same time (like posting on hackernews). I find that the moderate pace of podcasts means I can drift my attention back and forth between the visual stimuli and auditory stimuli more easily.

(maybe I could learn to do it with podcasts playing more quickly but I don't think I listen to enough podcasts to do that)

Being saturated by Modern Media is an exercise of Free Will.

An attack is an act of force that requires active defense. The Modern Media is not forcing me to ready anything, nor do I have to actively defend myself against the Modern Media.

If turning of your cell phone for a period seems like an unfathomable task to you, perhaps you didn't have that much Free Will in the first place.

Alleged sexual predator.

edit: Why downvotes? An alleged sexual predator and a sexual predator are two different things. Anyone can become an alleged sexual predator with an allegation, whereas sexual predators are sexual predators through their own actions, regardless of allegations.

At this point no one really knows if Roy Moore is a sexual predator or not besides for Roy Moore and his accuser, who is only attempting to try Moore in the court of public opinion and not in a court of law, despite retaining council of a very well known lawyer.

Having watched 26th Street paved, torn up for one utility, re-paved, torn up for another utility, re-paved, torn up for a construction project that was scheduled months in advance and re-paved again, all in the span of two weeks, I empathize with this sentiment. In certain states and cities, public spending is so wasteful that returning the cash to private citizens can feel, if not be, better than continuing to throw it down a hole. The effect can persist if people rationalize away the pain as necessary medicine.

As apps get more popular and get more traction they get built out for both platforms, it's the long tail that tends to target one or the other. If you're building a teen social network in the US, you build for iPhones, if you're building one in India, you build for Android. Apps that get only mild traction stay on a single platform.

I loved Wordperfect but they completely fumbled the transition to Windows.

I do understand why people would want to speed up their podcasts backlogs—I'm currently about 50% in, working my way through >500 hours of 5by5's Back To Work with Merlin Mann. I've tried speeding that up but one thing in particular causes me to stick with 1.1x at max: it's the connection with the hosts. It's just information (both useful and less so) condensed to be hastily consumed but it discards the dedication the hosts have put into it. Playing off of each other. The inside jokes, the subtle differences in tone and timing.

Maybe I'm just not as good in processing such social interactions at a faster pace than real-time. But I love "sharing a laugh" as if it's happening right now. That feeling completely goes away when the audio is sped up.
If you haven't seen it, watch The Century of the Self [1]. It's largely a documentary about the emergence of PR as an application of propaganda to control the population in times of peace, revolving around Edward Bernays. [2]

Viewing the modern situation through a lens informed by the history put forth in the documentary, there's nothing surprising in the least going on - it's the logical progression, and exactly what Bernays would aspire to do had the technology been available.

That must be me. I hate long winded, sound effected podcasts. It's just fluff to mask average content.

Compare a16z with Masters of Scale with Reid Hoffman (gosh even that name sucks). a16z has no ads, no sound effects, no blabber, but absolutely excellent content. Masters of Scale tho move slowly, keep repeating same things and feels like it's targeting children, way more edited.

Edit: maybe it's just the format that makes it interesting. Google Cloud Podcast, Good Day Sir, Software Engineering Daily - all have conversational format, almost a debate.

No, assuming the fundamentals haven't changed oil stocks become a good investment for other entities until the price is back to where it was (assuming it's negatively affected at all).

Oil may or may not have a bright near to mid term financial future, but Norway's move is either virtue signaling at the national level or diversification of a portfolio that's too heavily invested in that sector. In itself it won't change the oil market one iota.

This is a really profound point about software.

The ironic thing is that this "cost-center culture" has even affected the mindset of individual software developers and how we think of our own work.

Most developers ONLY look at their work in terms of cost. ALL pros and cons arguments are really about ways to reduce cost. Consider the term "tech debt" -- nothing could be clearer. Yet discussions rarely ever take place among engineers at a company about how to maximize profit or increase revenue. In fact, I would argue there is a heavy cultural bias on most engineering AGAINST optimizing for revenue, as it is seen as something that motivates sales or product people to rush timelines and sabotage sound engineering practices.

The obsession with cost is baked into programmer culture in such a deep and foundational way, I'm skeptical will ever change, even if the accounting of software projects changes. If you perform a search for the word "cost" on the eBook for the Principles of Object-Oriented Design in Ruby by Sandi Metz, you will find it dozens of times in various sentences about the urgency and critical importance of reducing costs, but the words "profit," "income," or "revenue" appear not even once. I'm not trying to make a point about POODR in particular, because this bias is only reflective of the culture as a whole.

You can certainly make the argument that it has to be that way, and engineering should be separated from revenue. I find it very interesting that, as a culture, we are only willing to speak about the monetary value of our work in negative terms.

Lead refining collapsed after Rome's crisis of the third century. There are Greenland ice cores saying so. Lead production didn't recover to Roman levels until the 16th century.

A few individual technologies progressed through the middle ages (but noticably not during the dark ages in the west), but social organization to build large scale projects is also technology, and that technology was utterly lost for a thousand years.

Rome had what we would recognize as Adam-Smith-like industry, a market economy, long distance trade, and mass production. It was a surprisingly modern world, and it collapsed. We're basically the second modern world, and we can collapse too.

You can argue over which is true or not about the Democrat (I don't live in that state and know nothing of the candidate...I'm reporting on my Facebook feed and and a few subreddits I subscribe), but I'm seeing acceptance over the Pedophile part, and abortion is a hot button topic among the religiously conservative.
Benford's law works for random variables drawn from a uniform distribution whose upper bound is itself a random variable with a uniform distribution. But memory addresses are not drawn from such a distribution. The upper bound of the distribution of memory addresses is almost always a power of 2.

So what is a measure of success?
It's been "corrupting data" for 20 years now. What's worse: the 21st year of corrupting data, or immediately killing all those processes that used to be running fine yesterday?

Or to put it another way: Let's say it takes one year to straighten out all those cases. What should happen during that year? Linus' option is that the kernel keeps running like it has been running the last 20 years. Linus is against the option that all those cases crash straight away.

What you wrote about your code is that you can make sure to avoid those bugs in the first place, by putting in bounds checks. But that's not the position Linus is in. Linus has to deal with the past 20 years of lack of such checks.

How Elon Musk Optimizes His Efficiency by Using a Daily Schedule
I've done something similar with my Android phone, and it's worked out decently. One problem I encountered though - I spent a lot of time on Reddit, and would check it subconsciously, so I deleted it. Now I find that I'm using Google Now, the left swipe off the home screen. In effect I took the attention from Reddit and gave it to Google. I'm not convinced that was a worthwhile trade. Given I can't delete Google Now, maybe having Reddit on my phone was serving a purpose I didn't realize. Maybe there's an app that will minimize the subconscious attention blast radius. Something that I'll still check but will minimize the time I spend there.

In my experience, multi-tenant Linux container security is still in its infancy due to Docker's unwillingness to build out container security models, the complexity of configuring namespace permissions in the kernel, and the lack of namespace awareness among key driver providers like NVIDIA. The most innovative work I've seen done in this space actually comes from the lxc/lxd group at Canonical, who for many years have been doing the heavy lifting in getting cgroup and namespace functionality working properly and securely - and without any of the glamorous publicity that Docker and CoreOS get. They use AppArmor extensively as an "application firewall for syscalls", which may sound ugly but is the most practical security solution I've seen in this space.
