It is not really a brutal lifecycle at all, to be honest.

Everyone loves a good rant about how fast the JS frameworks burn out, but it is not frameworks that burn out, but rather:

In the 8+ years since Iphone/Android duo made a HUGE change in how we consume web content, we went from:

- Having static resolution for websites to dynamically changing site resolutions
- Having static HTML renders with some dynamic bits sprinkled over to full-blown SPA-s because of a variety of reasons*
- Having major new JavaScript versions and INSANE amounts of Javascript engine speedups that allow things that were unimaginable 8+ years ago
- Having gone from "nothing" to a CPU-based <canvas> to a full OpenGL ES-implementation, full GPU-based (<webGL>),
- Had went from procedural code to semi-class based systems towards functional towards functional reactive programming systems

And I could go on and on and on and on.

The DOM api matured during these years. The renderers got replaced. Their performance altered dramatically. Layouts went from "JUST USE TABLES" towards CSS, then towards Compile-to-css alternatives, etc. Single-core event systems got SharedArrayBuffers, webWorkers, we got from callbacks to promises, towards async/await. And do not get me started on almost getting observables properly.

The web has seen more transformations in terms of what is an "app" or a "website" in 8-10 years than ANY OTHER area in programming. It is only natural that widely different tasks need widely different tools to work with.
E = (a + 4m + b) / 6

where

a = the best-case estimate
m = the most likely estimate
b = the worst-case estimate

That's my favorite, called Three-point Estimation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_estimation

This is also a great article on the challenges of estimating development tasks, from the Basecamp blog:

The self hosted one is what used to be called stash, and is git only afaik.

I have a feeling human operators are there for more customer service purposes. Given the location selected it might be wise to have staff on hand. The idea of no humans makes me think of the news story recently on the front page here about the hitchhiking robot being destroyed also seems relevant, although private areas may be less prone to incident like this.

Also according to this techrepublic article, while level 3 may still require a driver, a level 4 vehicle can still be limited to the "operational design domain". So human drivers can still be in place for extreme edge cases. Although I don't know the specifics of these vehicles, and don't think the "levels" of driving are very useful.

Sure but that's not really related to what I'm talking about. A top 5 MBA obviously possesses an extremely high capability to find alternative employment if they quit their current job (for ethical or other reasons.) Yet we would never expect those graduates to be more ethical than the average low-demand worker.

What you're saying seems akin to saying that a Stanford MBA is in less demand than the average programmer. (1) I think that's wrong. (2) It's really avoiding the point which his that being in demand doesn't really imply that those individuals will act more ethically.
I flagged it because the discussion is awful; it's ignorant and offers nothing of value; I have no more knowledge than I did before, and probably have absorbed some misinformation.

"military or war effort" ... "I won't say violence has not place..." ... and then discussion on how to protect your PII. Maybe discussion is too harsh a word, but there is a very clear (to me) "I know what you want to do (I do as well), so here is how to go down that road." It reads as something ISIS (or any extremist group) would do to lure people to fight for the cause. Also, with the screenshot being capped off by saying "the government can subpoena this at any time" is a clear indication that they know what they are talking about and how it could be read.

If I changed it up to say something like "I've never been apart of a military or war effort..." and then someone follows up with "Get in touch with your local Army of God (Christian terrorist group in the US)..." it doesn't take much reading between the lines.
At that time, javascript was used exclusively for client-side web development. It was pretty much impossible to write ajax requests in any sane fashion that worked cross-browser. It's not such a stretch to assume the user asking the question could use jQuery.

It could also be a way to offload sensitive processing & storage to a third party; e.g. Stripe.

I'm leaning much more toward John Young's (Cryptome) viewpoint of information security -- smoke and mirrors. Maybe nothing is secure and it is only a question of how interested the adversary is in creating a break and then what they decide to do with the information after.

Robert Cringely has the most practical advice I've read -- keep secure communications off the internet.

Indeed but those constellations are likely older, Orion is a hunter in western astronomy because of the Greeks, the constlations differ greatly between different cultures, even in close proximity to each other in Scandinavia the Orion constellation is again focused on the belt and belt is called Frigg’s Distaff.
One of the reasons for that is because of the latitude the constellations appear at different times at at a different prominence in the sky and even slight changes in perspective can have very large shift in preception especially in pristine skies.
The belt is the common denominator because it’s so bright and distinct compared to the rest of the constellation.

- They actively contributed to an increased homicide rate and made neighborhoods more dangerous for minorities by pushing a false anti-police narrative, engaged in anti-police protests, sentiment, and actions. Their actions resulted in a pullback in policing in dangerous neighborhoods and massive spikes in crime rates. This is a view shared by many minorities, who wish for the police to return to their neighborhoods, so that they can feel safe. Source? How about the right-wing rag NPR:

https://www.npr.org/2017/12/31/574824963/baltimore-residents...

- They actively push pseudo-social science into fields where rigor, exactness, and soundness is most important, such as engineering, where errors can have catastrophic consequences:

You seem to be assuming that your self-hosted git will be more bullet-proof than GitHub. It probably won't be. You'll probably have fewer nines than they do; it's their business, after all.

Even if your own solution had better uptime, you still haven't shown that it's worth it. GitHub is far more than just a git repo on a server.

> I also never understood why the barrier is set so high for giving any other species but ourselves credit for being intelligent.

It is our tendency to believe things that we want to believe, and we want to believe things that align with our self interest.

Since human moral understanding has come around to the concept that all human beings have inherent value, so therefore we can't just torture and kill them because they're not part of the tribe, we've had to keep inventing reasons why that same behavior is acceptable towards animals. If we were to decide that animals deserve the same moral considerations as ourselves, then we have to accept that many of the foundations for our comfortable lifestyles are immoral, and if we did that we'd have to consider giving them up.
i hope this is the case. XRP is a joke.
I would instead argue that this is a problem with the capital, not with the entrepreneurs.

One bonus is that it's much much easier to remember what happened when lucid dreaming. There's no point to the high-fidelity if you can't retain any of it; My favorite dreams are ones that I'm constantly remembering and forgetting that I'm dreaming, as it gives the best of both worlds, but this probably happens for me once in a blue moon.
Well, there are two ways you could be "anti-diversity":

1) You (for instance) don't support affirmative action
2) You are a dick to other genders/races in your team

(2) does not always follow (1). Only (2) should be a matter for disciplinary action.
I have never had control of anything other than myself during a lucid dream. My dreams become lucid extremely rarely, and that is why I want to experience it.

From the article:

The three people with knowledge of the program say they believe Ripley’s use was justified in some cases because police outside the U.S. didn’t always come with warrants or relied on broad orders to conduct fishing expeditions.

Talk about misuse, sure. But there's nothing at all about that tool that restricts it to blocking lawful warrants.

Ages ago (back when Python 2.5 was still a thing) I used a lib that would generate a call graph for Python programs. I think it was this one:

http://pycallgraph.slowchop.com/en/master/

I don't remember much, but I think this wasn't terribly useful at the time, because it became very messy very quickly. Any moderately complicated application will be calling a dozen functions, and the graph then becomes a gigantic mess of interconnected nodes which is very hard to read.

But like I said, it was ages ago, so I don't know how good/bad it is now.
I have a coworker whose somewhat cheeky method I often cite. Think about the task, guess how long it'll take you, double it, shift units. I usually get a wry look from our project managers when I mention it.

I always wonder why articles like this are written from the perspective that things are done to get children/students/people to be interested in space. Perhaps I surround myself by a weird circle of people that are very interested but also lack the immediate opportunity to go do anything about it.

One figure we could look at is sales figures for games like Kerbal Space Program. It was one of the top selling games on Steam and has sold over 2 million copies [1] on that platform alone.

Don't get me wrong, I love that these ventures get media coverage, but I dislike that there is a stigma that people aren't interested in space.

Gosh, programming is hard! Complaining about the syntax of make, or that it’s possible to write bad makefiles (and using bad examples to boot) is not, in and of itself, convincing. Almost the same text could be used to complain about C++, Java, HTML, Chinese, or any other subject.

And doesn’t work with visual studio??? Whose problem is that (hint: not make’s).
The real shame is that you decided to litter the comments with passive-aggressive complaining about how the community regards a particular technology. The most insulting part is your glib dismissal of the critics as shallow-thinking trend followers rather than actually engage the body of legitimate criticism in an intellectually honest manner.

> Many companies openly discuss their countermeasures to protect their customer and internal data from lawful requests from the Chinese government.

This seems like a serious counterpoint to "they were using it against lawful warrants therefore it's bad". Arguing that line and simultaneously excusing defensive measures against China, Turkey, or other governments isn't easy.

The obvious resolution is "ethics aren't equivalent to law", and using this tool to dodge ethical requests is still bad. But that's a far more discretionary standard than a lot of the positions I'm seeing here.
In 2018, that is unreasonable. Not philosophically, but pragmatically speaking.
