Yep, the svelte version here appears faster. I'd have to inspect the network traffic to see what it's doing with the data. But I can see a definite speed advantage in this circumstance. To bad it doesn't work everywhere like this.

How fast would it load if every entry had an image? Maybe then it wouldn't seem so different? (edit: this is from a desktop/Firefox)
How the Federal Reserve Works
As much as I'm a hesitant user of JIRA, there is little out there that can grow with the complexity of a project and organization like it has.

Other tools, fogbugz, trello, etc are very good at what they do.

Invariably though when you get enough projects that are complex enough (not always big), JIRA has been the only thing that could take a bite out of managing the details like few others.

JIRA also can be greatly simplified to use but most users don't do this. The JIRA core offering is what I recommend to folks. JIRA is heavier for dealing with heavier projects.

On the flip side. Having a search engine of every issue and decision, be it design, system, implementation, roll out ticket for every project in a company is second to none.

I recently assisted a client in their systems design and growth from from 0 to 50m revenue in 4 years. It feels strange and wondeful to have every decision made in one searchable place, on one time line for every major piece of software or system implemented for them.

JavaScript in 2018
ES6 - The standard version of JavaScript that all browsers support/will support.

JQuery - a simplified syntax to access the DOM, do ajax, and add events to elements.

HandleBars - if you don't want a heavyweight framework but you do want a simplified templating system. Handlebars is simpler.

My usual MO for front end development when I don't want to implement a full SPA framework:

1. Create a template with Handlebars

2. Use Ajax to get the model.

3. Render the template.

Or.

Create the view with Handlebars

Assign events using JQuery to the rendered elements.

Adjust the model based on the events.

Re-render the template based on the model.

But at some point, it makes sense to use a full fledged framework because at a certain level of complexity, you are reinventing the wheel. But even then, I can use Ember that uses Handlebars.

But it doesn't make sense to use Handlebars and Angular.

Bootstrap is for layout whether you use Handlebars or Angular.

Basecamp pays particular focus to productivity, developer happiness, and staying small. It is through these tenants that they use tools and develop new ones. They are dismissive of frontend JS frameworks because they run counter to their tenants. They embrace the fact that with the web, there are a multitude of ways to deliver a webapp - there is no linear progress but simply an increase in options to suit needs.
No, it is profit-seeking that created this cluster-fuck. It only seems to be a problem in third-world nations like the US; the rest of the world seems to be blissfully free of broken profit-seeking institutions that cannot talk to other profit-seeking institutions so that they can collectively figure out the least amount of healthcare they can provide to the patient (so that both can maintain their profit.)
I always marvel at both the differences and the similarities between pictures like these and today. I hope someone over at https://www.reddit.com/r/ColorizedHistory/ takes a crack at some of these.

Book-keeping as a whole might be too complex and varied, but you can split the problems into smaller pieces. For a start, split accounts payable and accounts receivable. Then, within AP, split between invoice entering objective data, matching against purchase orders, getting payment authorization, and coding appropriately.

Some of these part need some company-specific work flow, but not much intelligence so can be coded by any internal dev team. But some parts (e.g. extracting the objective info from PDF or scan) are harder but more standardised, and could be provided as an API. Some other (allocating to the right accounts in the GL) should be automatable for 90% of invoices, just because most received invoices are for the same thing each month.
That guy has so destroyed his life swatting the fed means he's going to be a person of interest for life to the TLA's
Edit: Ah, after reading more from that link you provided; the issue is stuck in your dysfunctional government.

I'm so confused right now.

Does the US not have a central agency that allocates phone numbers and operators? Does that agency not have the ability to shutdown operators who don't follow the rules?
You know those regulations are there for a reason right? Would you like to go back to the days where people are kicked off insurance for extremely dubious pre-existing conditions?

>If profit-seeking destroyed markets for profit, we would all be starving.

It depends on what you mean by 'destroy markets.' The market is functioning well in the sense that healthcare stocks keep going up. It's functioning poorly in the sense that it's the ill who have to die or go bankrupt to support it.
Profit seeking destroys markets with large externalities or where utility isn't readily discernable at low relative cost, and where for either or both of those reasons the rational choice model doesn't reasonably approximate actual behavior in the market.

Lots of real goods don't face that problem, but healthcare definitely does.

I've started to respond a little bit to your conclusion of seeing different front pages. Note that the site seems to be a little slow at the moment (I'm not much of an optimized coder, as the underlying tech is hard enough - premature optimization and all that).
Wait, so the terrible science you're talking about was never actually published, yet you still distrust the rest of the field?

Anonymous / unauthenticated calling to emergency services is a good feature to preserve.

Reacting as though they are credible enough to warrant deadly force is not.
They are closing some stores. Retail in general has had a very bad few years.
If you watch the DOM then it might be more compatible with things like jQuery plugins, which operate directly on the DOM instead of your JS object in memory somewhere.
Agreed. The key is investing the time for a workflow with JIRA, confluence, Aha, etc to have a flow for making and completing requests and decisions.

Yap that's what I realized as well. It is a complicated beast in that some things happen because there is a profit attached to it, some happen because there is regulation requiring it.

Unnecessary tests are not even the worst, unnecessary face and nose surgery as suggested by one of the doctors for a family members was really terrifying. Good thing we decided to spend more money an time to get second opinions.

I think in order to make the claim that climate change isn't happening, you need to be able to explain how a massive change in CO2 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere will not result in warming.

There is fundamental data that does not depend on climate models that tells us we're in danger. Atmosphere composition in one of them. Ocean ph is another.

If you have specific criticisms against how climate models are being run, then the place for that debate is within the scientific community, with scientific arguments. Apparently you have decided that is not for you, though.
Most Personality Quizzes Are Junk Science. I Found One That Isn’t
I wonder about that idea. I mean, thinking about it there's almost nothing found outside of earth that's worth the cost of the infrastructure needed to bring it inside of Earth's gravity well.

Which is a bummer. The only thoughts I have contra that are that it's only expensive if you count the cost of the infrastructure - given that moving resources from outside of Earth to it isn't super unattractive.

Second it's possible that costs should be viewed not just Earth to outside of Earth but also outside of Earth to outside of Earth. That is to say mining water on the Moon doesn't make sense if the destination is Earth - it the destination on the other hand is another part of the Moon there might be some logic to it. You could in theory be cost competitive with the Earth as you don't have to get it out of Earth's gravity.
I'd argue the target audience is the "layman" in a tangential field. So, they have enough background that what the article talks about doesn't go above their head, and they can get a quick overview of the subject, but it doesn't require them having to read up on a bunch of materials outside their field. Think people like mathematicians that work in tandem with physicists in their institutions, but don't read into it as much themselves.

Yes.

It is a form of eventually consistent databases. One that also solves the problem of nefarious actors trying to cheat.
Glad to see a coin that has it's own codebase (not some fork). And the lattice approach sure is innovative :)
Just because they have different ideas and opinions than yours, does not make them in any way wrong or legacy, or unsolid or incorrect.

Also, basecamp has been rewritten 3 times.
I often find myself judging cryptocurrency whitepapers by the number and breath of citations. Has the author's read previous attack papers and developed appropriate countermeasures. How does it compare to other schemes? Are the authors aware of the definitions and methods used in distributed systems?

However this approach should be tempered by the fact that the Bitcoin whitepaper would score poorly on this metric.
Especially since it didn't work out too well for people back on Earth.
> Edit: To those downvoting me, can you please explain? What flaw do I have in my logic?

The idea that we're in a "capitalistic society". Every country in the world lives somewhere on the spectrum between capitalism and socialism. The US is further towards the capitalistic side than Europe, but we've plenty of non-capitalist aspects of our society.

We already accept a wide array of socialist policies in the form of Medicare, Social Security, etc. We've also plenty of evidence from the rest of the developed world that the socialist approach to healthcare provides similar outcomes at greatly reduced cost. "We're capitalists, deal with it" is a fundamentally silly reason to avoid healthcare reforms.
Another way to look at testing code
The important thing is to refrain from assigning blame for any of the problems in our healthcare system. Politics are bad, and we shouldn't try to figure out how things got this way because we don't want to get into any politics.
Right but in this case it was unproxied VoIP, right? It should be easy (in the sense of not requiring a forced universal protocol upgrade, I mean) to at least protect against this kind of attack — a caller from an LA IP claiming to be in Kansas.
