I feel pretty optimistic about this, in part due to methods and practices being worked out in Taiwan: https://civichall.org/civicist/vtaiwan-democracy-frontier/

My assessment is that we've been building tech to help us FIND one another, but rarely building tech to help us BRIDGE with one another. With the former, we build ubiquitous messaging platforms, and so we can now find and spend time with more people who are more like us than ever before -- engaging in "candy" conversation with very similar people for more and more hours of our waking life. The latter, BRIDGING tools, would instead encourage and help us to break down those silo's that we're creating -- the silo's which are leaving us less and less prepared to engage with folks unlike us, who have perhaps developed whole other forms of language and culture in their own silos.

But as I said, Taiwan is experimenting with some really interesting processes that are breaking that down. Definitely worth reading the article :)
Why you think ABNFs are machine friendly? Is it that easy to parse ABNFs that we are flooding with libraries?

Just because it is a formal system it doesn’t mean it’s machine friendly.
probably due to the fact that rails tends to be more accessible for junior frontend devs or designers guys that want to try some backend stuff
I understand the sentiment, but your comment breaks the HN guidelines. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

One reason we have such a guideline is that it takes time for the community reaction to actually become clear. The downvote situation usually rights itself, as it has—quite decisively—above. Only a single downvote affected that comment to begin with.

The best way to cut success probability of your startup in to half is by basing it in SV. Startups don’t have truckload money to pay for COL in SV. They can’t attract talent other than big shots who are already multi-millionaires (and likely won’t code). People from other place would not move to join them because base salary won’t even pay for their rent (and stock options stays paper money for long time). It’s utterly foolish to base your startup in SV. Come here for hiring but keep your base out of SV, probably in Austin, Seattle, Florida or may be Southern CA.
> Honestly, REST is a great idea. Yes, people get religious about HTTP verbs and URL structures. But you don’t need to. Prioritise clarity to humans above everything else, and you’ll be fine for the most part.

I've seen this argument before (I've even made this argument before), but I'm becoming increasingly unconvinced by it. Let me explain my thinking:

1. If there's ANYTHING that sets REST apart from a generic HTTP-and-JSON protocol, it's the focus on basing endpoints off the concept of resources and collections, and using HTTP verbs to determine the type action to be performed. (And also, possibly, internal hyperlinks, but nobody seems to actually pay attention to that part.)

2. Depending on your application, somewhere between "some" and "most" of your API traffic doesn't deal things that easily map to resources and collections, doesn't involve actions that easily map to HTTP verbs, or both. One of the most common examples is sessions. When you log in, are you creating a session resource? Is that a sub-resource of the user resources, or an independent collection in its own right? Or are you actually retrieving a session token from the user resource? When you log out, are you actually deleting that session? Or updating the session to remove its authentication?

3. It's easy to say "prioritise clarity to humans", and I totally agree, but in that case, you'd just have a /login and /logout endpoints, you'd do a POST to the former with a valid username/password to login, and a POST to the latter to log out, the end. That's super clear, and super usable, but nothing about that is RESTful. And the same thing comes up over and over again. For every time I find myself doing simple CRUD operations on a collection of concrete resources, there's 10 times I find myself needing to do complicated, ambiguous operations on things which aren't.

4. But if I relax and focus on making a clear, usable API, then almost by definition I have to do so by not being RESTful. It's easy to say that you shouldn't get religious about HTTP verbs and URL structures (and I agree), but since HTTP verbs and URL structures is 100% of what people seem to mean by "REST" in actual practice, then...in what sense is REST a good idea? It's like drinking rum and coke without the rum...and the coke. What's left? Nothing Roy Fielding would recognise, in my view.

I'm happy to entertain the idea that REST is useful when you are doing CRUD operations on simple, concrete resources (updating prices on an online store; posting comments to a blog; whatever). But in my personal experience, most people seem to view REST as the ideal way to handle making an entire API, even the bits that are clearly nothing more than RPCs triggered via HTTP.
Of course. But I'm betting that they'll drag their feet as much as possible before implementing such blacklist. Just making an announcement saves so much engineering time :)

This is being done for the sake of political expediency in a Republican-controlled government that has many people in it who do not like the issues that these words represent. It's not "batshit" to try to word things in a way that minimizes political holy wars. In fact, it's somewhat logical, and seems to me to be aimed at ensuring CDC gets all of the funding it needs.
But distinctions that make it no less revolutionary.
I agree 100% with this article. A simple RPC API spec takes minutes to define. 'Rest'ifying takes much longer, there are a million little gotchas, no real standard. Everyone has a different opinion of how it should be done. Data is spread across verbs, urls, query params, headers, and payloads. Everyone thinks everyone else doesn't 'get' REST. If you try to suggest something other than REST in the office you become the subject of a witch hunt. It really is a cargo cult of pointlessness. My co-workers have spent sooo much time trying to get swagger to generate documentation correctly as well as generate client side APIs, and there are countless gotchas we are still dealing with. It really is SOAP 2.0, when a simple JSON/RPC protocol would of done fine. Don't get me started with conflating http server errors with applications errors. And trying to do action like requests with a mindset optimized for CRUD. How much time have we wasted figuring out the 'standard' way to do just a login API call RESTfully. Please comment below how to do it, I love the endless debate of what is REST and what is not.
Since we're on the topic of questioning dogmas: is that the rule of law or the rules set by the biggest mob?
The argument is that Net Neutrality is a regulatory device, thus hampers proper free market competition, hence prevents prices from properly going down.

To me Net Neutrality is a needed regulation that forces telco ops to compete on telco stuff. In that framework it's a free market competition and it does bring prices down as well as allows additional players to enter the game on ground unbiased by deep pocketed content production, which is a venue in direct conflict of interest with the telco (i.e be a pipe) side of things.

This is a terrible case of anecdotal evidence, and you contribute absolutely nothing to actual sentiment of most Canadians. Most Canadians pay more than $85/mo for 5GB of data. Furthermore, I'm originally from Manitoba, where people are upset that our $48/mo 5GB plan is increasing next year to prices similar to other regions, because our local telecom service (MTS) has been bought out by Bell (one of the big 3). The only reason this cheap plan existed was because there was competition within our province, and now it has been sold to the highest bidder.

> I have never heard of anything like that happening in the US before 2015. Could you give me some examples of this happening?

Okay. Here's a quick timeline of related incidents where the ISP has modified someone's access to information - it includes an ISP blocking information about a labor strike against the company;

"""

TELUS: In 2005, Canada’s second-largest telecommunications company, Telus, began blocking access to a server that hosted a website supporting a labor strike against the company. Researchers at Harvard and the University of Toronto found that this action resulted in Telus blocking an additional 766 unrelated sites. http://thetyee.ca/News/2005/08/04/TelusCensor/

WINDSTREAM: In 2010, Windstream Communications, a DSL provider with more than 1 million customers at the time, copped to hijacking user-search queries made using the Google toolbar within Firefox. Users who believed they had set the browser to the search engine of their choice were redirected to Windstream’s own search portal and results. http://www.savetheinternet.com/blog/10/04/05/phone-company-h...

PAXFIRE: In 2011, the Electronic Frontier Foundation found that several small ISPs were redirecting search queries via the vendor Paxfire. The ISPs identified in the initial Electronic Frontier Foundation report included Cavalier, Cogent, Frontier, Fuse, DirecPC, RCN and Wide Open West. Paxfire would intercept a person’s search request at Bing and Yahoo and redirect it to another page. By skipping over the search service’s results, the participating ISPs would collect referral fees for delivering users to select websites. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/08/update-paxfire-and-sea...

"""

I feel that these incidents establish a strong precedent and behavioral pattern that makes the expectation of a hands-off approach by ISPs irrational.

I review about ~100-200 CVs per week in bulk, for Data Science.

I actually treat a cover letter as a negative signal. Who has time to write one, and why you do think anybody cares? Show where you worked, what you did, link to some interesting stuff, all this in the regular CV structure, and that's it. I have about 10-20 seconds per CV, reading a cover letter is out of the question. The only thing the CV is for is to (i) send some signals to pick out the 5% of applicants that make it to the first screening round, and (ii) at later stages, to quickly open it to recall who the applicant is.

• Up to eight chunk fetches of 32-instruction-bytes.
• Up to 28 micro-ops (~28 instructions).
• All micro-ops are also resident in the Decoded ICache.
• Can contain no more than eight taken branches and
none of them can be a CALL or RET.
• Cannot have mismatched stack operations. For example,
more PUSH than POP instructions.

The Problem of Color is a subset of the Hard Problem of Consciousness.

That's a good summary of what the article seems to be saying. But I still don't understand the reasoning behind that claim.

I mean, from the article:

But can this really be right? Focus on a colour in your immediate environment and ask yourself whether that could really be only a figment of your mind, or at best radically different from the way it appears.

Yes, obviously? What's the problem?

Somewhat analogously, there's a whole world of scent and pheromones that most animals perceive strongly, but we barely perceive at all. An entire sense that we don't even realise we're missing! I think that's fascinating, but it doesn't lead me to question the nature of reality in any deep philosophical way. Should it?
I'm no uber fan but I don't see them ever going away. It may downsize or it may merge with a competitor but I don't see the uber app ever going away. Plus they have a lot of paper assets. 20% of Didi is 10B alone. And they have a piece of that Russian company. Also who knows how much all that user data is worth. It seems they have more assets than just cash on hand. I think they'll end up merging with a competitor and operating in the US under the uber brand. Or they'll sell of those assets, and scale way back and hope to partner someone with a working self driving.
Thanks for your comment. For people new to physics (I am one of them) I can't recommend strongly enough Leonard Susskind's 'The Theoretical Minimum' courses -- http://theoreticalminimum.com/courses . I'm currently going through the one on Special Relativity and EM concurrently with Hestenes' text.
It doesn't. At all.

If anything it makes it even worse, where prioritizing one type of data has an even bigger impact and can quickly cement the presence of companies such as facebook and obliterate any competitors.

Exactly the opposite is true. NN is most important when you have a market dominated by a few large companies!

In Europe, we don't have net neutrality. It's common to see plans marketed with free/unlimited data favouring specific services, such as Netflix.

But neutrality just isn't a big issue so long as there is plenty of competition among providers. If one company is giving slow speeds (or high charges) to your favourite services, you just switch. There's plenty of choices.

Surely the real issue in the US & Canada is the limited competition among monopolistic carriers and service providers. Net neutrality is just a smokescreen!
> This would be a major blunder and showing that the merge into production process is lacking a lot.

It's one flag, an entirely non-critical one at that, to either install this add-on hidden or not. It's not a major blunder to forget this once out of a few hundred times and it most definitely does not in any fucking way show that "the merge into production process is lacking a lot".

Absolutely no one would have minded, and there's no reason to either, if this would have been installed hidden.

You need to get the fuck down from those clouds and think about reality. Your comments are getting more ridiculous by the minute.

Why is REST so popular? Because it's easy to implement and works for lots of use cases. I'm sorry that you found places it doesn't, but in the real world, having been through that SOAP pain it's being compared to, I'd say there's not even a comparison. Everyone seems to want to find a reason to dislike product/technology/feature X but in this case, X is just better than anything we've had for a 90% adoption case.

What is with medium.com? Why is it so many links to this site are full of hateful hipsteresque opinions looking to sound smarter and more insightful than they actually are?
As someone who could contribute technically to Firefox but doesn't, let me add my perspective.

First of all, Firefox is a huge and complex project notorious for its legacy code and architecture. It's not a project that I would find pleasant to work on without getting paid. The only reason I might start working on it for free was if I wanted a job at Mozilla.

Second, it seems to me (as an outsider) that the biggest problem with Mozilla is its management. Any work I contribute to the browser will just be a feather in their cap, and they will still be making bad decisions that I can't meaningfully push back on. The solution for me then would be to fork the whole browser (which has already been done multiple times). However now I'm no longer working with Mozilla, I'm basically fighting them. Without paid, experienced engineers familiar with the Firefox codebase (or a PR budget), there's no reason to believe those forks can "win."

Third, Firefox is just so large that I could spend my whole life and have a negligible impact.

Fourth, as an outsider I'd always be "the wingnut who doesn't work at Mozilla." Perhaps if there were several companies sponsoring Firefox development, there would be more of a social place to fit in.

In conclusion, the state of the web today has left me feeling powerless. If I do nothing it's not necessarily because I'm lazy, but because I see nothing to be done.
The Theoretical Minimum – Courses on Physics for Beginners with Leonard Susskind
One of the many problems is Hollywood trying to target Millenials who only watch YouTube instead of watch movies or TV shows. Then the movies and tv shows flop and they can't understand why.

Ghostbusters reboot failed because they tried to target social justice warriors and feminists who don't watch sci-fi or horror movies. Trying to make Ghostbusters 3 was really hard and got delayed as they could not get the formula correct in the first two movies. Now Star Wars and Star Trek are suffering.

Just know your target market and cater to them.

My mother watches old movies on Hallmark and TCM etc. She does not like Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Star Trek anyway. She likes mysteries, drama, soap operas etc.

Yeah Amazon and Netflix are making their own movies for a good reason as Disney buys out Fox and will pull all of their IP from other sources to put them on Hulu it owns 60% of now or make their own movie streaming platform.

Well, I'm glad you can put together an RPC api that quick, but the reason REST is so ubiquitous and why arguing against it is going to make you the subject of a witch hunt is because it's so easy to consume. Your API is useless if people don't want to use it.

Yes, it was a campaign propagated by a self titled group of Crypto Currency trolls called "The Dragon's Den" They coordinate propaganda campaigns and cyber attacks on crypto currencies they don't like. There is a lot of overlap between the Dragon's Den and Bitcoin Core as well as Litecoin and they hold moderation positions in /r/bitcoin. The idea is that by calling Bitcoin Cash "bcash" they take the word "Bitcoin" out of the name and there by confuse people unfamiliar with the history of the community about what Bitcoin Cash is and it's reasons for existing.
